The world's welcome to Patriot's Unfiltered. Guess 9 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: we need to talk about what transpired Thursday night. Yeah, 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't good. Half the starting lineup was just missing 11 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: from practice. Yeah, just like an optional day or something 12 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: on their part. Just quit. So John is Quinn still 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: GM there? Who's the GM in Titans? John Robinson was 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: like honest, like honestly, like sometimes I like, are you 15 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: having the flue about any repercussions on the cloak that 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Bill was wearing for those for those of us, he 17 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: has no time for you. Come on, let's get to 18 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: the over routes. Um. So he does it again. Um, 19 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: and that makes Patriots fans even more miserable. Will you 20 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: yearn for the days of your then have Max. He 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: wants to be coach harder, rights, harder, harder. That's wrong. 22 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: I want to be coached harder. This is Patriots Unfiltered, 23 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome to Patriots Unfiltered. It's 24 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: Wednesday here at Gillette Stadium. And uh, what a lively 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: show yesterday. I was just that we were talking about 26 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: it before. But just a great job, Matt. I mean, 27 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: it captured so much of the spirit. It was a 28 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: good show. You're working blue as usually, you know, not 29 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: like we had to pat ourselves in the back. But 30 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: I thought it was a really good, lively conversation about 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: the current state of affairs with the Patriots. And I 32 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: think we looked at it from all different angles as 33 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: objectively as both sides. Yeah, we don't just like, you know, 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: hammer away at everything and we don't just tell you 35 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: everything is great. Yeah, we just of course give the 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: past to Bill Belichick, of course, as the caller called 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: in yesterday. And I didn't care because I feel like 38 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: that sort of means that we're doing our job. Like 39 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: if people are kind of you know, attacking us, are 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: being too negative, and sometimes attacking us are being too. 41 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, people behind people hear what they want to hear. 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: But I think that means that we're probably offering some 43 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: balance to the show. And you know, it's not an 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: easy thing to do when there's so many issues, Like 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: it'd be so like I keep saying this about the offense, 46 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: it'd be so easy if you just said, you know, 47 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: the receivers are doing great, the running game is awesome, 48 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: the past protection is great. Quarterback just can't get him 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: in the ball. Just gotta do something about the quarterback. 50 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: That's easy, well, not easy, but you know what I mean, 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: it's easy to identify. Yeah. Well it's funny now too, 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: because every I feel like every day you get someone 53 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: new chimes in with an article. So I know Karen 54 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: talked to SCARNECKI. Uh, you've got Charlie Weiss weighing in. 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's got their own thing, like Charlie Weiss 56 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: is it's the weapons, Scarnecki is. You don't say this. 57 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, everybody's got an opinion, Dan Orlovsky, 58 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's just each new person kind of brings 59 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: a new angle to it. And so it's there's just 60 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: so much to digest and dissect and at the end 61 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: of the day, it's, uh, it's tough to pinpoint one thing. 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: It's a lot of things, right, Yeah, I mean we 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: were talking before the show, and you know, I was 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: thinking about our conversation afterwards, and I told you guys 65 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: before the show, like, you know, what if? What if? 66 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: The plan all along for Bill was to bring in 67 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, and Nick Saban said, hey, can you just wait. 68 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: He's got one more year left. Can you wait on that? 69 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: And so Bill had to go back to the drawing 70 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: board and rather than bring in somebody else, thinking I'm 71 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: gonna have Bill next O'Brien next year, he elevates or 72 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: he puts Patricia over there as sort of a placeholder. 73 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: I trust the guy. You know, he's smart. It's not 74 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: going to be a complete disaster. He'll he'll be a 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: placeholder until next year when we get um, you know, 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien. Bill O'Brien will also be the quarterbacks coach. 77 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: I'll make Judge. I'll bring Judge back over to special 78 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: teams to be the coordinator and make that better. I 79 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: like I like your theory, I like you, I like 80 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: your and and so now in twenty twenty three, all 81 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, your coaching staff becomes this kind of 82 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: mess that people think it is right now to actually 83 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: his strength. I guess my question to that might be, 84 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: are they setting a foundation for the Bill O'Brien offense 85 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: or is Matt Patricia and Bill Beli O'Brien's going to 86 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: come in. That's the flaw in my thinking, your pook. 87 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: So that's the flaw in my thinking. So if if 88 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Patricia is in fact a placeholder and you're gonna bring 89 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: in a Brian in twenty twenty three, why then change 90 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: the offense? Well, you could just have Bill O'Brien come 91 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: in with Mac Jones and just say we're going Alabama. Yeah, 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, well, Joe Phill O'Brien, the offense, Bill O'Brian 93 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: no longer needs any teaching after two years and running it, 94 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: and so we go. So so the conversation in my 95 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: head continued along these lines, and then I'm thinking, Okay, 96 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: could the changes that they were trying to make in 97 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: this spring be a foundation for more Alabama RPO? And 98 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: so the question I would have for you do Sir 99 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: Evan when he gets here is you know, do you 100 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: need to incorporate zone stretch kind of running if you're 101 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: going to run RPO, because you got to get people 102 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: on the move, you know, and so like, you know, 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: did they want to kind of establish that type of 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: offensive line movement in anticipation of more RPO. I mean, 105 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: we can consult our residents. Yeah, you and I are qualified, 106 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: but I would say I don't. I don't think so. 107 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that they can exist, you know, 108 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: independently of those is not necessarily tied to those, to 109 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: those things that. But one other point that you're flirting 110 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: with here, and I think it's a bigger point that 111 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: we haven't really talked about much as just you know, 112 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick seventy years old, and you know, I think 113 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: we all agree he's not in the position to be 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: burning seasons at this point. And I don't ever expect 115 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: him to completely flip his you know, general philosophy of 116 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: the last twenty years and go all in and just 117 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: totally take a blowtorch to the whole organization after he leaves, 118 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: but cash in and just try to get that, you know, 119 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: another super Bowl because he's got to answer Brady or 120 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff. And I just don't 121 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: know what the balance is because one hand, I don't 122 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: I don't want him to blow the franchise up, But 123 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: I also think like the clock is ticking, buddy, Like 124 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, you don't have it a year or to 125 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: just like, well, we'll just kind of mess around this 126 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: year and see what happens, and then next year we'll get, um, 127 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, the guys that we actually want to run 128 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: the offense. So you know, that's just what I wonder 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: with him at this point in his career. What does 130 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: he want to be doing. Does he want to you know, 131 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: just stick to his guns absolutely and do everything that 132 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday in terms of team building and 133 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: all that, you know, or does you know or is 134 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: there some element of, hey, I gotta I don't have 135 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: much time to have like if I want to win 136 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: games and have fun with this and you know, be 137 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: part of a winning organization again, I gotta make some 138 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: moves that maybe might have been outside of you know, 139 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: what WEEK might have come to expect over the last 140 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: twenty years and what I'm saying, Like, so the premise 141 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: there is that breaking that record is dictating decisions. And 142 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: I know, I know a lot of people will disagree 143 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: with this, but I honestly don't think that Bill like, 144 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: I think he cares about the record. I'm not saying 145 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the record, like if it happens, 146 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: he'll be really it'll be really cool and and all 147 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: that stuff. But I do believe him when I think 148 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: when he says, you know, there's a balance between what 149 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: is good this year and also planning for the future. 150 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that's changed, you know, I don't think 151 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: that now it's all in for every season because I 152 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: gotta break that record. I don't see that. I know 153 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: there's gray area between it and I mean, you gotta 154 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: win games, like that's the bottom line. You gotta win games. 155 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: You want to break that record, win games you want 156 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: to win, you know, get the playoffs and be relevant. 157 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Win games. One of those things I have a hard 158 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: time understanding. And I don't hear. I think Robert Kraft 159 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: might be more pressure to win now than the record, right, 160 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't have a I don't hear a lot of 161 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: people criticize sort of the pursuit of the record, because 162 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: the pursuit of the record is what Mike just said. 163 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: In order to do it, you have to win games, 164 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: and that's what everybody ultimately wants, right, So it's not 165 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: like you, well, he's being selfish, he wants the record. Yeah, 166 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: I think there's probably part of him that says, yeah, 167 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: I do want that record. It doesn't mean a lot, 168 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: but I want to win games, right, So I think 169 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: it's you know, I think it could be considered a 170 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: selfish pursuit, but ultimately it's doing what you want as 171 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: a fan, as a as a coach, as an owner, 172 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: as a player. You want to win games. You don't 173 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: want to go, you know, a tear down rebuild if 174 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,239 Speaker 1: you're if you're part of the organization of any organization, 175 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: like I'm just going to half ask my way through 176 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: the next six years of five win games. We could 177 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: have and it's not important for this discussion. We could have, 178 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: you know, a week's worth of shows on whether or 179 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: not you go all in, and that's not the right 180 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: thing for a team, Like, that's not what this is about. 181 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: I think it's you know a lot of teams have 182 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: gone all in and had success with it. It doesn't 183 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: mean you have to stink and be a dumpster fire 184 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: there you know, thereafter and and there's so many layers 185 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: to this, and one of them is his kids, you know, like, okay, 186 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: so my two sons are coaches on my team. I'm 187 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to be around forever. You know, 188 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: I can see the end. I'm on the eighteenth hole here, 189 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: but my kids aren't. They hopefully have a long future 190 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I would love to set them up 191 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: as part of a winning organization, having been part of, 192 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, a super Bowl or at least a you know, 193 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: a perennial playoff team, because nothing helps a coach get 194 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: another job than being part of a winning program. You know, 195 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: Like he's a human being and a father. How can 196 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: you not think of your kid's future. And nothing's better 197 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: for his kid's future than to be part of a 198 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: winning team in the NFL. You know, that's a great 199 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: That's a great other layer too to the whole thing 200 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: of I mean, I guess it just boils down to 201 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: winning solves everything. You know, every all these problems. You 202 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: win games, it's not gonna be, it's not gonna be 203 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: continue to be as tough as it's been, you know. 204 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: So then we get back to the whole Patricia thing, 205 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: which everybody that's the narrative this week, you know it 206 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: seemed apparent to everybody except me, because I said, you know, 207 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: if you're ahead, if you if you rose to the 208 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: level of a head coach of this league, it says something, 209 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, And I thought it would be okay with 210 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: Judge and Patricia. I'd love to make fun of you, 211 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: but yeah, I can't. But so far I've been wrong. 212 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: You know, I can admit it, but far, but games 213 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: like like if he stuck with him, maybe Patricia would 214 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: improve it. Maybe next year he'd be better. I don't know, 215 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: but let's just say that I am wrong and it 216 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: hasn't worked out, and it's not going to work out. 217 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: It seems like everybody except me saw this coming. They 218 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: saw this train coming down the track except for Bill, right, 219 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: And there's no way that everybody is smarter about football 220 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: than Bill. So he knew. He had to have known 221 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: it was a risk. And if it was, just like 222 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: I said at the beginning, just a placeholder for Patricia, 223 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: to me, it makes a little bit more sense. Yeah, 224 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: so this is where I was. You know, we kind 225 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: of talked about this a little bit yesterday. We never 226 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: really delved deeply into it. But I do feel like 227 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: where Bill maybe misread it, is I feel like Bill 228 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: felt when he set it up this way, that you're theory, 229 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: like Matt Patrici is a good football coach, he can 230 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,479 Speaker 1: figure this out now. I think there are some intricacies 231 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: that he sort of overlooked to the art of play 232 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: calling without the experience of having ever done it and 233 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: things like that, But that's less important to me. I 234 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: think what he overlooked was we were all, as you said, 235 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: we were all like, this isn't gonna work right. It was. 236 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: It was March, it was April, May, it was June, 237 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: and that was the topic of conversation everywhere. It was 238 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: my station EEI you know here, that's all we all 239 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: talked about. But what Bill I think overlooked is he 240 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: doesn't care what we're talking about. But I think Bill 241 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: overlook the fact that that's where his players were talking. 242 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: And I don't think that they bought in. Yeah, I 243 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: don't think they bought in from the start. It started 244 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: with Mac And this is where I, you know, people 245 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, sort of give me a little blowback because 246 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: I haven't been a huge Max supporter, and I haven't 247 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: been from the side. I feel like he's out. I 248 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: don't think he's a stiff. I've said that a million times. 249 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: I don't. I think there are guys that that are 250 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: worse than him. I think he's he's average. But where 251 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: I give him a lot of the blame for this 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: that I don't really see any blame being assigned to 253 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: him really is. I think that as the leader of 254 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: the offense, if you don't embrace it, the other guys 255 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: aren't going to follow, right, So when people say so, 256 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: are people lying or were people exaggerating when they say that, 257 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: they look no, the opposite. I think the Jacoby Myers 258 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: and the Kendrick Bowens of the world and the Hunter 259 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: Henry's of the world, they do like Mac yeah, and 260 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: they do feel like it started back in this bring. 261 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: They saddled him with defensive coaches and they didn't support him, 262 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: and it just got worse as things unfolded during the season, 263 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: culminating on the Monday night game when you get you know, 264 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: like they're calling for Zappi and they're bullying him. That's 265 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: that's where he even played. That's a good point. These 266 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: guys are grown men in the locker room who have 267 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: achieved a lot in their career, in the college careers 268 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: and even if they're young, and if you don't, if 269 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: they sense that you don't know what you're talking about, 270 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: oh yeah, they tune you out. Yep. And I go 271 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: back to the Jason mccordy comment. I know, I say 272 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: this story a lot. Forgive me for repeating myself, but 273 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: that Jason mccordy comment on NFL network, you know, with 274 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: his new role on that Good Morning Football show. And 275 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: I think it was around July or so, I don't 276 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: have the the time frame exact, but he said that 277 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: if this was in my lock if this was me, 278 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: if I was in that locker room, I'd be wondering 279 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: what we're doing. You know, I'm paraphrase. His twin is 280 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: literally in the lock and his twin brother is in 281 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: the locker room. I said to you guys at that time, 282 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: that's that's might as well be Devin saying it. This 283 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: is there's uncertainty going on. We heard things about Macket, 284 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: some of the charity things that he appeared at in 285 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the summer that you know, he let it be known 286 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: that he was a little confused as to what the 287 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: direction of the offense was going to be, you know, 288 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: with what they were doing. I'm not telling you they're wrong. 289 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: Like I don't think mac Jones was wrong to take 290 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: a step back, you know, heading into a second season 291 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: and say, what are we doing putting a defensive coordinator 292 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: in charge? But it's one thing to question, it's another 293 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: thing to completely ignore. And I feel like they just 294 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: never gave it a chance. Yeah, they never gave it 295 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: a chance. Yeah. So it's it's interesting stuff. Now. One 296 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: of your guys, Deuce, was on the radio this morning, 297 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: Mark Daniels, and he was talking about this very subject 298 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: and he, you know, he was saying that, you know, 299 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: ever since he's covered the team, he's never seen as 300 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: many guys, both on and off the record, be complaining 301 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: about I think that's a great point that Mark makes 302 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: because but I can never remember it. But then you know, 303 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: he he you know, talked about what they're saying, and 304 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: all the stuff that he talked about were stuff that 305 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: we knew, stuff that has been on the record. He 306 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: didn't talk about stuff off the record yet. And I 307 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: really hope that like when this stuff does come out, 308 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: like people like Mark days, you know, as I knew, 309 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: like if you know it, like you don't have to 310 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: say who said it. Yeah, But like tricky Capital j journalism. 311 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: You mean to kind of navigate the water. Yeah, it's 312 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: also a weird element this year were being back in 313 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: the locker room. He didn't really get this stuff. The 314 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: last couple of years he didn't get well. He mentioned that, Yeah, 315 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: we didn't we didn't have the locker room to say 316 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: that they would have been happy there. Um. One thing 317 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: I was thinking though of while you're talking, and I know, Bill, 318 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: this week too late make wholesale changes. Um, but we've 319 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: been kind of seeing the same thing for multiple months, right, Like, 320 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: do you think that Max's injury kind of bought them 321 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: more time? I'm to stick with what wasn't working instead 322 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: of you know, had Mac been healthy through the all 323 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: of September into October and it continued to well here's 324 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: what I'll push back there. I think the opposite. Yeah, ahead, Freddie, 325 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: when he got hurt, they didn't do they didn't keep 326 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: doing it. They changed it. And then when he came back. 327 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: So this is great. I have some stuff. I have 328 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: something I brought. I brought some you got highlights and everything. 329 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: I brought some prep work. So one of the things 330 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: that I thought was really interesting. Yesterday we touched on it. 331 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: We didn't really again, didn't get into it too deep. 332 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: Was the Phil Perry exchange with Bill Belichick toward the 333 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: end of the press conference. It was, you know, Phil 334 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: asked him about the comments that he made on Monday 335 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: on w EI when he was asked, point blank, you know, 336 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: can change just be made to the offense, you know, 337 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: more or less? And he said that this at this point, 338 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, he used phrases like at this point, it's 339 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: too late, like you know, things like that, and and 340 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: the basis of it was that he he well Von 341 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: Miller off for the year after undergoing ACL surgery, so 342 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: he went from missing one game to the rest of 343 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: the season. Um. He talked about it basically being, uh, 344 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: you know, thirteen games into the thirteen weeks into the season, 345 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: you can't just sort of you know, And and he 346 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: was asked and Phil asked him some follow ups yesterday, 347 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: and I thought there was one, uh, one one toward 348 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: the end where he talked very specifically about UM trying 349 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: to find the exact one. Okay. They went back and 350 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: forth a little bit and and Phil got to the 351 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: point where he was like, okay, so what is this 352 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: He asked, you know, in twenty and eighteen. They sort 353 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: of changed the offense towards the end of the year, 354 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: accentuating the things that they did, leaning into the strength right, 355 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: and he said, well, we do that all the time. 356 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: Bill said, you know, okay, so how would you consider this, 357 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: like what would you have to do? And he and 358 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: he talked about you know, Bill says, so whether that's 359 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: going conservative, not conservative, the same, different, whatever it is, 360 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: that's what the intent of it all is. That's what 361 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: it always is. So that's not going to change what 362 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: they'll be, I don't know changes. What they'll be is 363 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: the changes, but it's a combination of what they do, 364 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: what we do, what we think we can do well. 365 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Any idea that any idea can be a bad idea 366 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: if you can't execute it. So if you can execute it, 367 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: then it's potentially a good idea. If you can't do it, 368 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: then it's not going to work. If your team physically 369 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: can't do whatever it is you're trying to do for 370 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: whatever reason, then it's probably not a good idea. Find 371 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: something that you think you can do and that's a 372 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: good way to attack your opponent, then probably it's going 373 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: to be worth talking about. I thought this was really 374 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: interesting and it was toward the end of several different questions. 375 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: It was like it was a fourth question back and 376 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: forth with Phil. And it was not confrontational at all. 377 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: By the way, it was very good conversation between Phil 378 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: and Bill at the end of the press conference yesterday. 379 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: What I think he's telling you there is you guys, 380 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: can you know? And this is as much directed at 381 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: mac Jones from last Thursday night as anything else. You 382 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: guys can like call for a more aggressive approach. We 383 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: can go downfield, we can do this, we can do that. 384 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: If you can't execute it right, it doesn't make a 385 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: lot of sense. Okay, here's mac Jones's forgive me, I 386 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: don't have the acronym down and Evan's not here. What's 387 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: adot average depth of targets? Okay, I mean I knew 388 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: what it was based on the content, you know, on 389 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: the context of the numbers, but I just want to 390 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: make sure I'm not giving you the wrong terms. So 391 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: mac Jones's average depth of target before the ankle injury 392 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: was third in the NFL at ten point four yards 393 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: per attempt. Since the ankle injury, it's twenty ninth in 394 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: the NFL at six point zero Jones has improved from 395 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: five to one touchdown to interception ratio in the last 396 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: four games in a ninety seven passer rating. Both our 397 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: improvements over the two to five touchdown interception ratio within 398 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: seventy six point two rating that he had in the 399 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: first three weeks. So all of this, this smash is 400 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: telling me that they don't think they can run the 401 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: offense that they tried to start the season with or 402 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: that wants to run, and that's why they've gone conservative. Yeah, 403 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: because now at the same time, I'll give you yeah, 404 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: and I've got an answer to this. No, my opinion, Yeah, 405 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm tired to what Max said on the sideline. My 406 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: thing is go ahead, go ahead. I'm gonna get the 407 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: next part of this. And we talked about this early 408 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: in the season. You gotta let this guy make mistakes, 409 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, like they're so afraid of him making mistakes. 410 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: And he played in a box last year. It worked, 411 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: It didn't make a ton of mistakes for a rookie, 412 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: and they had a tenant seven record, got to the playoffs. 413 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: But at some point a quarterback in this league has 414 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: to know his limits, has to be allowed to like 415 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: make mistakes and they're just so afraid to let that happen. 416 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: So you think they put the governor back on. I 417 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: think they put the governor back on. Think they put 418 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: the governor back with Fred and no? Okay, So here's 419 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: now after all those numbers and you can see the 420 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: improvement on paper. Yeah, but so but this is what 421 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: he's telling. But but this is what the numbers. But 422 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: if you break up New England season to this point 423 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: into halves, this is Phil Perry writing now, not Bill's quotes. 424 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: Including two stops from from Zappi. The team's number of 425 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: offensive touchdowns yards per game, third down conversion percentage, and 426 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: red zone success rate are all down in their last 427 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: six games. So you are protecting the football, yes, great, great, 428 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: not moving the ball, and you're not scoring points, which 429 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: are the two things that Bill Belichick requires out of 430 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: his offense. Ye okay, So here's where I kind of 431 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: get a little bit like I just I have like 432 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: palms raised on what it's going to take. So at 433 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: the end, field kind of surmises Belichick, using the phrase 434 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: quote physically can't do might be the difference to what 435 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: this team has been dealing with on the might be 436 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: a reference to what this team has been dealing with 437 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Having more aggressive attack usually requires downfield, 438 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: you know, takes a little bit and generally speaking, a 439 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: little bit more sustained blocks. So he writes, perhaps personnel 440 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: issues like issues on the offensive line leading to the 441 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: team's offensive philies. Perhaps it's coaching. In all likelihood, it's both. 442 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: That may not lead too much in the way of 443 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: hope for the Patriots offense moving forward, but it in 444 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: Belichick has said changes aren't imminent in order to achieve 445 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: that satisfactory level. But what doesn't he add in there 446 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: as a possible reason mac Jones in his ability to 447 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: protect the ball while being more aggressive, like that's not 448 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: part of this. Yeah, And I just think that he 449 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: continues to scate because of the coaching situation. I think 450 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: it's it's really interesting, Paul, because it's such a conversation 451 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: we talked about philosophically of them needing to push the 452 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: ball down the field more, and that's what we kind 453 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: of took away from early in camp, which just like, God, 454 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: this is all they're doing, just chucking it down the field. 455 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: And then you know, during the middle part of the 456 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: season where it was getting frustrated, or starting to get 457 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: frustrated here, everyone's like, can we just go back to 458 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: a mac tidwell, you know, and then which led to 459 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: the zappy came in and Fred is absolutely right. The 460 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: governor went on, they had success, and can't they just 461 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, and now we've done that and they 462 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: don't have success. You're not turning the ball over, but 463 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: you're not. And I mean, I love the stats that 464 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: you brought up about because that's what it's about. It's 465 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: about third down, it's about red zone, it's about points. 466 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean those And Bill looks at it and says, 467 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: if I can get a quarterback who doesn't turn the 468 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: ball over in four games, I'll have a chance to 469 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: win those games. Now I would counter with saying, yes, 470 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: is Sam Ellinger is the other team's quarterback, you'll have 471 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: a chance to win that game. Right, Zach Wilson's the 472 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: other team's quarterback, you'll have a chance. I don't think 473 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: they had any chance of beating the Buffalo Bills the 474 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: other night playing offense the way they played. You know, 475 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: and you go back to the first game of the 476 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: season against the Dolphins, and you know that that initial 477 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: drive where they go right down the field and Mac 478 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: throws the interception in the end zone to part intended 479 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: to Parker. You know, I'm perfectly fine blaming that on Mac. 480 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: You know, he didn't put it high enough. Whatever, Try 481 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: it again, but it's like, up, we can't do that again. 482 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: We can't throw it into the end zone. Well, they 483 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: try to begin the next weekend. We're rewarded with it 484 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: when Agalore made a great catch. Well, now I don't 485 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: want to live off of that. Yeah, but there's by 486 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: balance that you can't find. And that's why and like 487 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: I see, and that's you get to Max. Max's frustration 488 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: on the sideline and this short stuff isn't working like 489 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: and that's what I think that they probably need to 490 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: try to figure out here in these next few games, 491 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: is how do we get established a confidence level with 492 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: Mac with the short stuff, with his you know, with 493 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: the governor on but by still being able to use 494 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: play action and shots down the field and and have 495 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: more aggression than But I think in this league, a 496 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: quarterback needs to create his own governor. He needs to 497 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: figure out his own went to throttle up, throttle down, 498 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: because he has to understand what he can and can't do. 499 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: And if you don't let him do it, experience it. 500 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: He's never gonna learn. Yeah, I agree with you that. 501 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: I just think it's it's it's a painful process in 502 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: this league to be a quarterback from from a rookie, 503 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: but you have to go through that, you have to 504 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: go through it. Yeah. It makes me wonder what Mac 505 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: would say, truthfully, you know, what did you learn from 506 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: those early games where you were turning the ball over 507 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: a ton? You're making bad decisions? I mean, and that's 508 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: like it's not even just like the interception itself. It 509 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: was a lot of those was just the decision of like, 510 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: you can't throw that ball, you know, right? So has 511 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: he taken stuff from that? And and you know, I 512 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: mean this conversation is kind of like making me perk 513 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: up a little bit of like, all right, what could 514 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: they could they maybe find a middle ground? Like I mean, 515 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's got a lot at this 516 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: point that that's going to be the key for next 517 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: year is to figure out where they can settle into 518 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: because bombs away is not they're not suited for that. 519 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: But you can't win doing it the way they did 520 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: Thursday night either, So they're gonna have to figure out. 521 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: I agree with Fred that's a big part of a 522 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: quarterback's development is figuring out when and how those kinds 523 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: of chances can be made. You know, you and I 524 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: disagreed a little bit. Freddie on the postgame show. I 525 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: felt one of the when when Mac I think I 526 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: might be having my time off on this Again. I 527 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: thought Matt's frustration came on that possession in the fourth 528 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: quarter when it was third and fourteen something like that, 529 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: and they threw a little They threw a pass that 530 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: traveled two yards to Jakobe myers Um and he got 531 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: like five set up like a fourth and seven or 532 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: something like that. Again, I don't have the exact totals now, 533 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: but they were on the Bill's side of the field 534 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: fourth and seven ish, and they punted, and I think 535 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: Bill wanted I mean, I think Mac wanted to go 536 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: for it. I think that's when he went to the sideline. 537 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: And you know, in other words, if we're not going 538 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: to go for it on third and fourteen, if it's 539 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: not two downs, then we can't run a shallow cross, right, 540 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: you have to go for the stick, you know. I 541 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: think that that's was part of his problem with that 542 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: that's the talk of the same stuff on Like like 543 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: Fred said that, like the whole the whole thing this 544 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: week has been all about the offense and the coaching 545 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: in Patricia and all that. So like, yeah, I mean, 546 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: sometimes you just gotta play the hits. This is what 547 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: we're talking about. But I think that's what Mac was 548 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: upset about, and Fred, you and I disagreed. I thought 549 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: Bill kind of coach that game the other night to 550 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: keep it, you know, reasonably close, and didn't coach it 551 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, Like I think he felt like, well, 552 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: if I go for it here, I'm gonna give the 553 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: ball at midfield, it's gonna be thirty one man. You 554 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: know it's gonna be thirty one to seven. And you 555 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: know if if I throw the ball down the field 556 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: and I turned the ball over, it's it's it. We're 557 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna get embarrassed on national time. Like I would argue, like, 558 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: what's the difference between losing twenty four to seven or 559 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: twenty four to ten ultimately, which I thought kicking the 560 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: field goal was ridiculous too, But twenty four to ten 561 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: and you know, thirty four to ten, well, who cares? 562 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I know we kind of laugh at like 563 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: when people say this, but any credence to the idea 564 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: that they're gonna play them again and that game might 565 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: be more meaningful than this game possibly, you know, so 566 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: you you do certain things. I don't know, I know, 567 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: And I almost asked Bill about that once. I was 568 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: just and I talked myself out of it because I 569 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,239 Speaker 1: felt like I wouldn't get anything interesting of do you 570 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: ever hold back or do you ever play a game 571 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: with an eye twitter? I mean, I'm sure he would 572 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: have been like, no, we just played that. We put 573 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: everything into this one game and that's it, you know. 574 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: But but I do wonder, with all the advanced scouting 575 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: and everything that they do, if if there is some 576 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: element of you know, just thinking ahead and or you know, 577 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: at these running plays that you're going to counter off 578 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: of in the next game, not like, oh, we're gonna 579 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: do anything crazy to surprise them and overre not gonna 580 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: play our best player in this And what did Evan 581 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: say yesterday? I thought I thought he made a comment 582 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: about the they their offensive game plan seem predicated on 583 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: breaking tackles because the Bills. The Bills defense had missed 584 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: a fair share of tackles when there this year and 585 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: he and he was like, and Evan counter by saying, 586 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, when they were missing you know, at 587 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: times eight of their eleven starters on defense. Yeah, you know, 588 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: they played some games really with a very low amount 589 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: of starters on defense and they had most of those 590 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: guys back. Yeah the other day, that would be that 591 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: would be disheartening. I mean, it just sounds like a 592 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, a blogger coming up with the game plan 593 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: for the team off like, well, it says here that 594 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: they've missed a lot of times, we're gonna go try 595 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: to make I mean, that's not a bad thing. If 596 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: they're not good at tackling, then put them in a 597 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: position to have to make one on one tackles. I 598 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: don't know what would the plan of been if von 599 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: Miller was in there, Like, I mean, then when you're 600 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: even more hampered of like how throw the ball down 601 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: the field and sustained blocks all that stuff. It's uh, 602 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of this does tie 603 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: into the offensive line is everything. There are multiple issues 604 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: going on, but yeah, you know, so much of the 605 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: offense of doing what you want to do. I mean, 606 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: just listening to Little Plug Paul's great new Paths from 607 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: the Past with Logan Mankins, it was outstanding. Um, you know, 608 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: he just comes with a quote of, you know, talking 609 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: about the Super Bowl forty two. Yeah, you know, the 610 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: offensive line as we didn't play that well. Very often, 611 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: when the offensive line doesn't play well, you're not gonna win. 612 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: You know what. I really liked about that line. He said, 613 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: we didn't play well. And then he immediately stopped and 614 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: he said, I didn't play well. Right, that's right. I 615 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: don't want to Hi, it's bad I did it. It 616 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: was twenty eleven, the year he played on the on 617 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: the torn acl Was that was that the year? I 618 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: think I don't remember. I think it was. Yeah, yeah, 619 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: but they kicked him out the tackle when they had 620 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: too when he played just as well a tackle. Yeah. 621 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: It was about that too. A little little side, I mean, 622 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: it's a pump paulse and Matt's tires a little bit. 623 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: But it was one of my favorite episodes. He's just 624 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: such a likable guy. Saw spoken and we all know 625 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: how he was on the field, and um, you know, 626 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: you never heard much from Logan Mankins while he was here. 627 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: He just kind of showed up and played his ass 628 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: off and he was the offensive version of Gilmore. Yeah, 629 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: I said a lot, but he said it really quietly. 630 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: People didn't realize he was saying. So. My favorite moment 631 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: with Mankins on the field is in Denver. We're getting 632 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: we're getting beat and he's having a hard time and 633 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: he's on his knees in front of the defensive lineman 634 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: plays over. This is after the whistle and he's on 635 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: two knees and he just rears back and punches the 636 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: guy in the nuts. I mean, I did punch the guy. 637 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: Didn't ask him about that, you know, I do remember 638 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: it though. I'll never forget that. It was like he 639 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: didn't care. He just he just rear back and punched 640 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: the guy in the nuts. The great stories probably be 641 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: ready with him and matt Light getting ready to take 642 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: on Channing Crowder or you know, just I mean, it's 643 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: just you love those guys. I mean, they were just 644 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: such a THEO was that the bearded band of brothers 645 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: like that. They were every year and um, it's a 646 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: great group. It was. It was. Yeah, good check it out. 647 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: I just wrote up a thing on it too. It 648 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: passed from the past. We'll do a clip. I was 649 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: talking to Mattie about it tomorrow. So yeah, I mean 650 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: we talked about it on our staff meeting yesterday. Those 651 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: are going to have increased importance as we get it 652 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: further away from the dynasty. Yeah, you know, to kind 653 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: of capture all the thoughts of those players that were 654 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: involved in that. You know, I just as the fan 655 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: in me, and I mean I've said this before, but 656 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: what I always just love about those kind of things 657 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: is you know, you watched the game as a fan 658 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: and unfolds and you know they win or lose, and 659 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: you're elated or you're you're really upset, but you never 660 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: really you know, feel connection to the team as far 661 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: as that you know, they come in, well, we gotta 662 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board, you know. But to 663 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: hear the players like to hear Logan, they get to 664 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: talk about the six AFC Championship and be like, I 665 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: don't know how we lost that game. You know, I 666 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. I'm saying, you know what else he said, 667 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: we'd have won that, Yeah he did. I couldn't believe it. 668 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: He's like, I mean, we obviously would have won that 669 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl against Chicago and it's the only one I 670 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: could not But it was. It's just cool when you 671 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: hear those guys and you hear they were, you know, 672 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: experiencing the same emotions that you were. We were making 673 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: travel plans at halftime, and I mean when at ran 674 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: that interstelling back, yeah, it was like and then it 675 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,239 Speaker 1: just collapsed. I remember there was a couple there were 676 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: a couple of guys there. Um you know that you 677 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: know one one in particular. I used to work with 678 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: The Herald, this guy named Jerry Sparr who had kind 679 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: of like what Greg Bernard does now, like his own website, 680 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: and he was like making arrangements and he had a 681 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: books on then and then like this is all at 682 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: half time because you knew the prices, you knew the 683 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: prices were gonna skyride. And he was like, I just 684 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: wasted so much more. He's like so mad after they 685 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: lost Evans here and to pic in the same building 686 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: as me. He's back from Bill. So tell us what 687 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick had to say today. It was an interesting 688 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: press conference because it was normal press conference. And then 689 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Calhan from The Herald came in and tried to 690 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: hold his feet to the fire a little bit about 691 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: the offensive coaching staff and the play calling and things 692 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: like that. So it was it was mostly normal, right, 693 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: like you know, normal press conference, asking about different players, 694 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: asking about guys that are on ir He did mention 695 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: that Christian Barmore still undecided whether or not he's going 696 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: to come out out West with the team or not 697 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: he because he will be eligible to play in the 698 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: Raiders game technically, so if he travels or doesn't travel, 699 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: is going to dictate whether or not he's gonna be 700 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: out there for practice most likely, So still undecided on that. 701 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: The question about the play calling was essentially, you said 702 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: yesterday you feel good about the system. What about it 703 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: do you feel good about? You know, what is it 704 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: that you feel good about? Exactly? And he Belichick of 705 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: course corrected a little bit, I think from a response 706 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: that he gave yesterday and said, look, you know, we 707 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: can do everything better. I'm not saying that we can't 708 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: be better in that aspect of offense. But he continues 709 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: to harp on consistency and execution. Let's just do what 710 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: we're doing better versus trying to reinvent the wheel in 711 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: week thirteen and change it up on the fly. Yeah, 712 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: I mean, there is something to be said about like, 713 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, let's see if we can do this right first, 714 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: because we're making mistakes. So let's what happens if we, 715 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: you know, minimize the mistakes before we start making wholesale changes. 716 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: I get that, you know, and I get his point about, look, 717 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: they're not going to go to the veer offense. But 718 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: I think I don't know if I haven't said this 719 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: on the yesterday, but he's like play callers get changed 720 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 1: all the time in the NFL. Like it's not like 721 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: like you don't have to change the whole offense. You 722 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: could just you know, make it, make a simple change 723 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: like that. Um, but how many how many times though 724 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: when you see those things happen? Is it just scapegoating? Yeah? 725 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: You know, I mean I tell you it's the right 726 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: move every time. I remember Frank. But I think the 727 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: point Mike is trying to make is it happens all 728 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: the time. Yeah. But like Frank Reich with that with 729 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: like their offensive corners fired like a week before and 730 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: then he got fired. Yeah. Well, coaches you know, take 731 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: play calling duties, they give away you know, it's like 732 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: it happens all the time. That I said yesterday, The 733 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: Green Bay Special teams coach, they were terrible on special teams. 734 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: He got fired, they brought in a new guy. Didn't 735 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: Charlie Weiss lose play calling duties at one point or 736 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: didn't something happened with him happen I'm aware of, Yeah, 737 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: but you know it does happen a lot. But I 738 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: also just think that what difference does it really make? 739 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: Like I just I think that like the way that 740 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: they do it, Like if you had another play caller 741 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: in there right now, he's just gonna be calling the 742 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: same places that Matt Patricia's basically calling. Well, Like I 743 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: don't know how much wiggle room this play caller really 744 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: has to, Like I just I picture them all in 745 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: a room doing it together, and regardless of who's the 746 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 1: guy in the iramac they need a new setup, like 747 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: they need like this is the stuff that Evan's been 748 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: harping on all Like they don't really have a good 749 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 1: plan all the time. They don't have great design all 750 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: the time. So it's just where do you go from there? 751 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: They don't have a good to me is they don't 752 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: have a good foundation, Like what do they do well 753 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: and what is their identity as an offense where they 754 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: can fall back on it and say this is what 755 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna do to get down the field. To me, 756 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: I think there's a couple things. One, the Broncos just 757 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: changed their play caller, Nathaniel Hackett handed it over to 758 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: a Clint Kobi act their pass game coordinator. Week obviously 759 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: didn't work out very well for their offense last week, 760 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: but it just happened in Denver, so it's not like 761 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 1: this is like completely foreign to happen in the NFL. 762 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: I think the other thing is, once we get down 763 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: the stretch here a little bit, and let's say they 764 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: are out of the playoffs, it would be nice to 765 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: know if Nick Kayley can do it right, because you 766 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: have to go into next season. It's kind of like 767 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty when they insisted on playing Cam Newton 768 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: down the stretch and we never figured out what they 769 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: had in Jared Stidham because they wanted to stick with Cam. Well, 770 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: if you're stick with Matt Patricia in the final two 771 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: weeks of the year when you're mathematically eliminated from the 772 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: playoffs and you're not really learning about the other coaches 773 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: on the staff. And the third thing I would say 774 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: is just they last week they came out with a 775 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: game plan of this quick game, get the ball out 776 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: of max hands, get it to the skill players, try 777 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: to create yards after the catch, and then next week 778 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: they'll come out with a completely different plan. And when 779 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: they had Brady, when they had Josh McDaniels, when they 780 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: had a good solid foundation, I think you could do that, 781 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: or you can change a week to week and be 782 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: a game plan offense and do what's best against a 783 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: particular defense. Now I just want to see them execute 784 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: ten plays well, like can you what can you execute well? 785 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: And can you execute a group of plays consistently weekend 786 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: and week out. I think we get lost sometimes in 787 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: this game plan offense, game plan defense minutia where they're 788 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: trying to reinvent the wheel during the week a little bit, 789 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: and it's like, but that's not what you do well 790 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: or what do you do to the point I I mean, 791 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it too, and it made me 792 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: wonder if you know, even the with Josh, there was 793 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: always like a basis, and I wonder if at this 794 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: point they were just like, well, we don't We're just 795 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: game plan we're doing We're changing up every why do 796 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: we even need the basis, you know, like that it 797 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,959 Speaker 1: feels like they threw that out. They threw the baby 798 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: out with the bath water soda speak with some I 799 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean it's it's and I don't think 800 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: you can ignore the fact that when even if you 801 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: have a good plan, like let's say Minnesota, like they 802 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: came out, they ran pretty good offense that night, but 803 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: then when it's time to adjust in time to like 804 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,399 Speaker 1: get into it, like you have guys like you say, 805 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: like you know Josh always had like a baselet well 806 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 1: they they had those hours in years and you know, 807 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: hundreds of games to fall back on. Oh yeah, you 808 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: know might work here. They're gonna do this. They adjusted 809 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: to this. We're gonna do what we did back in uh, 810 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: you know the last time we played Minnesota and like 811 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: that that you know, whatever game. And I don't know 812 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: if they have that catalog to fall back on their 813 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: defensive guys and it goes it goes back. I think 814 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: never done it. To what Fred said, And I'm not 815 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: saying that that, you know, but there needs to be 816 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: some kind of a little bit of leeway with a 817 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: new play caller. And I'm not saying this to be 818 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: like Matt Patrician. We need to give him time. Like 819 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: and you know, before this show, I was talking about 820 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: if they just promoted Nick Kaylee and it looked the 821 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: same as it does right now, you know, would everybody'd 822 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: be killing Kaylee like they killed Patricia Um. But you know, 823 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 1: I just that that's where I live of, Like, all right, 824 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: how much leeway do you give any new offensive coordinator 825 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: or play caller at the beginning? What was it like 826 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: for Josh in two thousand and five? You know, what 827 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: was How does he go from becoming you know, the 828 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 1: guy in two thousand and five after Charlie left to 829 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: designing the two thousand and seven offense, and you know, 830 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: putting Randy Moss and Wes Welker in such position to 831 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: have dominant seasons, You know, I'd love to think that 832 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: Nick Kayley could develop into that guy. I just I 833 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Everybody talks about Nick Kayley 834 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: like he's the great White Knight um to save us, 835 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't know anything about Nick Kiley, 836 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: like at least be right, But I mean, I mean 837 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: I would say, what did Josh? I mean that was 838 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: like Josh mcknell's eighth year in the offense. Well, but 839 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: I mean fourth, I mean he got what two thousand, No, 840 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: but I would say that certainly when he came in, 841 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: he was eighted greatly by Tom Brady's presence, Like anybody 842 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: would argue against that, and these guys don't have that luxury. 843 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: I just think some of their their concepts against Minnesota 844 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: that they were running from the shotgun that we're working, 845 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: those are I think are things that we've seen for 846 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: two years now work. And not to excuse the play calling, 847 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: but their offensive line it's not gonna it wasn't holding 848 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: up last week to run those plays. And that's really 849 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: been a big thing. I think that you know, you 850 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 1: want to get into what's actually going on on the 851 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: field and the personnel and not so much about the 852 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: play callers. That's happening is that they have just been 853 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: you know, Belichick said it yesterday. The availability has been 854 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: inconsistent on the offensive line. David Andrews coming in and 855 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: out of the lineup, Trent Brown coming in and out 856 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: of the facility because he's got this illness, you know, 857 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: right tackle. They're on their fourth right tackle now with 858 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: Connor McDermott. Cole Strange has been on the rookie seesaw 859 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: right where he's up and down with his play. Really 860 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 1: the only guy that's been in the same spot that's 861 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: Ben solid as Mike on WINU and I think that's 862 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,959 Speaker 1: why they don't want to move him around, is because 863 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: he's like the one thing that they have right. So 864 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: in some respects, you have to look at it and 865 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: look at the play to play execution a little bit too, 866 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: and say, well, okay, against Minnesota, when they didn't have 867 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: the pass rush that a Buffalo has, or that a 868 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 1: Jets team has or a Colt's team has, they're able 869 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: to block some of these downfield passing concepts. And then 870 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: they get into the Buffalo game and every time they 871 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,479 Speaker 1: try to drop back past it's a disaster up front. 872 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on with the offensive line too. 873 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: But I just I think that the foundational elements of 874 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: this offense is a where they lack it. You mentioned 875 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: McDaniels foundation. McDaniel's foundation was power eye Like his foundation 876 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: was under center, full back in the backfield. You know, 877 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: we're going to be a power run team. We're gonna 878 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: play action off the power run like that was always 879 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,359 Speaker 1: what they could fall back on on first and second down, 880 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: which is really when your foundational elements come out. Third 881 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: down is sort of the game plan stuff, that's sort 882 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: of your passing game stuff. First and second down is 883 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: what you are identity wise as an offense, and they 884 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: just don't have that identity anymore. I want to, I 885 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: want to. I want to dig a little deeper on 886 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: this Nick Kiley thing because I just looked it up, 887 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: and I guess what's not sitting with me is that 888 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: how long Matt Patricia been annoying? How long has he 889 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: coached in the NFL? Twenty plus years? He's been a 890 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: head coach, right, Nick Keilles coach seven years of tight ends? Here, 891 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: he was ten year coach in college on the defensive 892 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 1: side of the ball. So I'm just the next job, 893 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: I'm saying, are saying, I know, But are we saying 894 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: seven years coaching the tight end group is paramount? Is 895 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: greater than a twenty year Yeah. And if I would 896 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: also also coached on the head, you'd give the seven 897 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,439 Speaker 1: year tight end coach. I would say anybody that's coached 898 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: offense would have an edge over a guy who's only 899 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: coached defense for the most part. But he's been but 900 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: I mean he was assistant offensive line coach for a year, 901 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: but a head coach too. That's something that's nothing for me. Nothing. 902 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 1: Would you would you want to hire Bill as your 903 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator tomorrow? He's been a head coach and the 904 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: most successful one that's ever done it. Yeah, I would. 905 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't probably. I mean this to me, this is 906 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: Bill being the offensive coordinator to a degree, Like this 907 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: is the offensive he puts out there right like, I 908 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: thank you. The sample is not very good, if that's 909 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: like where you want to go at the conversation. I mean, 910 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: he's the greatest head coach in the history. I wouldn't 911 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 1: want to hire him to He would not be hiring 912 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: my list of offensive coordinator candids tomorrow. Yeah, And he's 913 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: the best head coach he's ever done it. I'd hired 914 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: him to anything. You would hire him to your lawn? 915 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 1: I get it. That might take a while. I'm not 916 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: saying it to like you know, but I just we 917 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: get so into like he's never even coached offense before, 918 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, like and and there's certainly validity to that. 919 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to say that there isn't. But 920 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: at the same time, I don't think anyone has really 921 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 1: mentioned that Nick Kaylee was a ten year coach on 922 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. But because he's coached 923 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 1: tight ends were like, let's just hand him the keys. 924 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: It's got to be better than mat Patricia. Well, people 925 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: just see. But that last part I would agree with 926 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,879 Speaker 1: the first part, like he would not have been high 927 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: on my list of candidates to replace Josh McDaniels, but 928 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: based on what was left, he's would be the highest 929 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 1: on the list. It's either you or you, like we've 930 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: talked about. I think it was before you show, you know. 931 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people think, oh, well, you know, 932 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: Bill wanted to keep Nick. You know, he didn't let 933 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: him go, but he was the only guy that couldn't 934 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: go because he was on the contract. And Bill might 935 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: have been like, Josh, you're not taking everybody, you know, 936 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: And it might not have been like, oh, I've I've 937 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: tapped Nick Kayley for anything special. It might have been 938 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 1: just frustration, like you're not taking everybody. I need some 939 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 1: type of continuity, you know, I gotta keep somebody, you know. 940 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: I also, I think he leaves next year. That's I mean, 941 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: that's what I think. Well, I think, you know, you've 942 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: got a taste of having been offered something and now 943 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 1: it's in your head, you know, right right right? Well, 944 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: and that's the other one. Am I missing out on 945 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: by staying here? That's what I pushed back on pre show. 946 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 1: It was just that I don't get the whole point 947 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: of we can't promote him because then he'll leave, Like 948 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: if you don't promote him, he's goes because like you 949 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: might as well take a shot and and and give 950 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: the guy a chance. And it was also a message 951 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: to the other coaches. But here's the other thing. So 952 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: he was gonna go because Josh probably would have taken him, 953 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 1: Josh who knows him. But is Nick this commodity otherwise? 954 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: That's my point. I have no idea what Nick Kayley. 955 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: Just to tell the whole story here, Tom Pellisera does 956 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: a list every year of like rising star coaches in 957 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: the league. Nick Kayley has been on that list for 958 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 1: like three straight seasons. Okay, you know so, and that's 959 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: Tom Peli Sara, it's a national reporter. Yeah, you know me, 960 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,879 Speaker 1: all right? So is that based on the eighteen season coach? 961 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: I have not. I have no idea what Nick Kaylee 962 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: is as a coach, right, And I do know of 963 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: the list that I was talking about it. I always 964 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: laugh at some of the names on it. There's some 965 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: bad names and there's some good names. Right. A lot 966 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: of these media guys, they just fashioned themselves as you know, coachmakers, 967 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, kingmakers, you know, guy, I guess I don't 968 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: know what. No one could deserve that job more than 969 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: this guy. There's even like it's like, who's who's like 970 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: to reserve Dolphins wide receiver coach? Right, Dolphins wide receiver 971 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: coaches Southern hot? He must really hot. Then you find 972 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: out that his agent is the same as the right 973 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, those two guys went to the same 974 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: college and were there together. Oh that's why I don't 975 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: always take some of those things. And Idsen on the 976 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: list probably too, right, Like every every year, I mean, 977 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: Mayo is always on it. And people have always said, 978 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: how did he ascend to a head coaching candidate so fast? 979 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: And guy, it's a great guy right with the media, 980 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: always has been Oh great relationship. He worked for a 981 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: private company and they said he was good. You know, 982 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,319 Speaker 1: it's like great relationships with there's so much that goes 983 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes that we don't know and we 984 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: will never know, you know, like we have no idea 985 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: like what's going on with this coaching staff and the 986 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: conversations and the factions and who's you know, speaking out 987 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: and who's not and opinions, and we have no idea. Yeah, 988 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: that's why just the quick, quick little preview Cardinals. I've 989 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 1: been watching Hard Knocks. I just flip that on last night. 990 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: I plowed through a couple of episodes, and it's always 991 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 1: what the Cardinals worked so hard. Yeah, I love that 992 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But I mean, it's it's funny you 993 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 1: said that, because those are the times when you do 994 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 1: actually see what's going on behind the scenes of the 995 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: coaching meetings, and you know, even just to see like 996 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, which by the way, it's weird. It's 997 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: like they're in like an auditorium and and what's his face? 998 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 1: The coach like sits up on the on this he 999 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: sits up on the stage. You better you might want 1000 00:47:55,040 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 1: to know that name it I'm just saying. But he's 1001 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: just like on the stage, and like all the coaches 1002 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: like just kind of are spread out in the in 1003 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 1: the audience of the of the auditorium, and he's just 1004 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 1: kind of like sitting in a chair up on the stage, 1005 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: like dictating to giving a ted talk a little bit. 1006 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 1: And that's what it felt like. I totally well, it 1007 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,319 Speaker 1: used to be the offensive line coach until he got 1008 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: caught groping people in Mexico. I haven't gotten to that part. 1009 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 1: It hard, but just so many of the details of 1010 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: coordinating an offense, and I get into all the scheme 1011 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 1: stuff like why aren't they using a guy like this 1012 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: or why aren't they running this player that play? But 1013 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: it's also just this the details of route spacing, drop 1014 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: back timing, you know, uh, executing handoffs on third and 1015 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: one on the opening drop you know, stuff like that 1016 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: that you just see. It would fundamentals on the offensive line. 1017 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: Fundamentals on the offensive line. Like you know, we were 1018 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: talking about this earlier, another pre show thing when um, 1019 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,399 Speaker 1: you know, evaluating this draft class, because we were talking 1020 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 1: about this a little bit yesterday. Can I fairly evaluate 1021 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: Cold Strange and Taekwon Thornton in the prism of this 1022 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: offense right now? Like, how am I supposed to say that? 1023 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,879 Speaker 1: You know, Cole Strange has not played particularly I would 1024 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 1: say strange. Yes, Thornton, I just don't know how you 1025 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 1: can do that, because it's strange getting the coaching that 1026 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 1: he needs on his technique and on his fundamentals. For 1027 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia, I don't know. I mean maybe maybe not, 1028 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: But isn't like alignment only Like, Okay, your technique is 1029 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: one thing and your results are kind of right that 1030 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: Like with Thornton, he's not really being given a huge 1031 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,800 Speaker 1: chance to establish himself a role in this offense. So 1032 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: I totally get That's why I'm not ready to say, well, 1033 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 1: I'm not get another second round receiver bus like no, 1034 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: like I'm not ready to do that with Thornton. I'm 1035 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: not gonna go and say, you know, if Dante was 1036 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: still here, would Cole Strange be better? Obviously everybody would 1037 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 1: be better if Dante was still here, agreed, If Carmen 1038 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 1: Priscilla was still here, would Cole Strange be better? He 1039 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 1: probably would be better, right, So, like that's just the 1040 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: thing is I have a bad game. You look at 1041 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: the tape, and it's good to have a coach to say, 1042 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 1: here's what you did wrong, let's work on yeah, right, 1043 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, I mean I also think what Mac was 1044 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 1: saying too after the game the other night, that he 1045 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 1: wants to be coached harder. Yeah he does. He's like 1046 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 1: the guy in Da Vinci Code would create a self flagellation. 1047 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: That just it does stand out to me that when 1048 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 1: have you ever heard that come out of this building 1049 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: that they're not coaching the players hard enough. Like that's 1050 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,759 Speaker 1: just intense for Bill Belichick's coaching staff to not be 1051 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: lacing into players when there's errors on the tape and 1052 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 1: they have to make corrections and things like that. I 1053 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: mean some of the stories that you've heard of Belichick 1054 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 1: ripping players and team meetings and stuff like that. I 1055 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,759 Speaker 1: mean Julian Edelman goes on TV sometimes and share some 1056 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: of the stories. Edelman, the guy from Foxborough High makes 1057 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 1: this catch, you know, like things like in front of me, 1058 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: I can't complain, Yeah I can't. Right, I've heard, like 1059 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 1: players say and coaches like, if you know, if this 1060 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: organization's structure is like going to school, the Patriots is 1061 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: like getting your PhD. It's like football university. It's like 1062 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: you learn, so you know, like, and that's the opposite 1063 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 1: of what we just heard from Mac. I want to 1064 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: be coached harder, right, you know, And I think to 1065 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,920 Speaker 1: Evans point though, like that's why, like a lot of 1066 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: the players are out of my cross heres right now. 1067 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 1: Like I like early in the season, I was kind 1068 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 1: of like, come on, Mac, you gotta do better, you know. 1069 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: And I'm just and I still have issues with you know, 1070 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: him overall as a player, but I just, you know, 1071 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: I agree with the larger point of just like I 1072 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: feel like they're being undercut at the start and it's hard. 1073 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: It's hard for them to you know, be able to 1074 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: show what they truly are as players when you're not 1075 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,400 Speaker 1: doing what the Patriots traditionally have done and put your 1076 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: players in the best position to succeed. Yeah, we were 1077 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: talking about Hunter Henry a little bit as well, and 1078 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: he's got an out in his contract after this year. 1079 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 1: They can save ten million bucks on the salary cap 1080 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 1: if they cut Hunter Henry going into next year. And 1081 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: he's another one of those players too that he has 1082 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 1: really struggled the block, like really struggled to block all 1083 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: year long. But when you actually watch the assignments that 1084 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,240 Speaker 1: they're giving him, he's blocking a lot of edge rushers, 1085 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 1: like a lot of defensive ends or stand up outside 1086 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 1: linebackers like Matthew Judon types, and he's being asked to 1087 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: block these guys one on one on these passing plays 1088 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 1: like he's an offensive tackle, and to degree you have 1089 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 1: to say, well, how many times do you have to 1090 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: see him fail at it? Right? And you know, if 1091 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,800 Speaker 1: he's out there blocking you know, off ball linebackers and 1092 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: safeties and corners versus blocking you know, Greg Russo coming 1093 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,919 Speaker 1: off the edge, like, it's probably gonna look a whole 1094 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,320 Speaker 1: lot different for a guy like Hunter Henry in the 1095 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: blocking game. So it just there's so many things from 1096 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,840 Speaker 1: assignments to game plans to details like that they just 1097 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,240 Speaker 1: don't do well. That's right. It's like a hard decision 1098 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: of like I'm like, I can't, like, I can't cut 1099 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry right now. I can't pound the table for 1100 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: that because I don't know what the heck can do, Like, 1101 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, I wish it was John. All Right, we're 1102 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,439 Speaker 1: gonna take a break, come back.

He tiptoed into it. 1331 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 1: He did, he was he was a little afraid. Don't 1332 01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: be afraid. I know they had Amazon back then. He 1333 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,440 Speaker 1: just threw that out there. Yeah, uh all right, computers 1334 01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 1: did they have those? That's what I was thinking. Right, 1335 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 1: Let's go to while Elder, North Carolina. That's fact. Yeah, 1336 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Like I said, I like ya argument and like stout 1337 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: and everything, but I still would have offersive guys then 1338 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,160 Speaker 1: defensive a guy and if you trained on under mc Daniels, 1339 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 1: Like I said, it can't be no worse than what 1340 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 1: it is now. He can't be Yeah, yeah, Nick with Kayley, Yeah, 1341 01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 1: I would have did it from from the jump. He 1342 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 1: was the greatest coach and he you know that from 1343 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 1: the team. I know, I know you want your boy, 1344 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,960 Speaker 1: but that's your boys, not it's a specialty. That's not 1345 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: a specialty. So I wouldn't level would have did that. 1346 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,640 Speaker 1: So I'm next, y'all question, does everybody thinking that Bill 1347 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,920 Speaker 1: O'Brien gonna come to New England next year trying to 1348 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: be the old team? What if you get a coaching 1349 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,760 Speaker 1: job he's in college or the pros didn't What happened 1350 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: to that idea? Yeah, that's not a good idea. Somebody else, Yeah, 1351 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 1: you're I don't know. I think he stays anyone like 1352 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 1: who like anyone? I think he stays. Apparently the bars 1353 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: if you've coached seven years offense, you're are guys. No, 1354 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,480 Speaker 1: But I think it's a I think the larger point 1355 01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,000 Speaker 1: that I'll take away from Eldred's call is what if 1356 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Bill Bill O'Brien gets a hit grin and you don't 1357 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 1: have a Belichick Tree offensive coordinator guy to think What 1358 01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 1: do you think he would do if Bill Bill O'Brien 1359 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 1: is not the the offensive coordinixt year, what do you 1360 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,880 Speaker 1: think he would do? I hope that he would find 1361 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: another offensive coordinator. I think it's mad Patrician. No, I 1362 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 1: think I think you're right. I think that's what would happen. 1363 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 1: You would fail experiment again. I think you could get 1364 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 1: another assistant. Oh, I know you, I know, I'm just 1365 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 1: saying I think that what what happened is that Patricia 1366 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: would still be holding the same position he does now, 1367 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: but maybe you get him more experienced assistant, like a 1368 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when they brought a jet fish 1369 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,520 Speaker 1: for example, or somebody like that that that's been around 1370 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 1: the block, but not necessarily making him the offensive coordinator 1371 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 1: by a title. But the Bill O'Brien thing, that's the 1372 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,680 Speaker 1: biggest thing to me with the Bill. Everybody just assumes 1373 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,880 Speaker 1: that Bill O'Brien wants to come back, like I am 1374 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 1: assuming that he would he would come back. But it's 1375 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 1: a great point. I know nothing as to why. I 1376 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: don't know if you watch. Isn't his family here at all? Yeah? 1377 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: But he might just want to be a head coach 1378 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,759 Speaker 1: somewhere and right or what if the an offensive coordinator 1379 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 1: job opens up elsewhere in the NFL with a better situation. 1380 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 1: That was step two. If he might just want to 1381 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,799 Speaker 1: be a head coach, that might not be my avenue 1382 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 1: to get there. If his if his goal is to 1383 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,360 Speaker 1: be a head coach again at some level of football, 1384 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 1: then honestly there's no better place than Alabama to that 1385 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,240 Speaker 1: pipeline is is Razor Sharp like you go? Lane Kiffin 1386 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 1: gets the Old Miss job, Steve Sarkisian gets the job 1387 01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 1: at Texas. You know that that just goes. Didn't Brian 1388 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:05,120 Speaker 1: Dabile do it too before? So every two years that 1389 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: that offensive coordinator, regardless of if he's coaching up Tua 1390 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: and Mac Jones and DeVante Smith and Jalen Waddle, all 1391 01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 1: the talent he adds around him, he still gets a 1392 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,479 Speaker 1: head coaching job. So if he wants a head coaching job, 1393 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,920 Speaker 1: then I don't know what coming to New England to 1394 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 1: be the offensive coordinator here does not That's a that's 1395 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 1: a lateral movement. But what if he says, you know what, 1396 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,680 Speaker 1: I've been a head coach. I don't want to be 1397 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: a head coach. I'm okay with being an OC. Why 1398 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 1: is he leaving Alabama just to be back in the NFL? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1399 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 1: And maybe he wants to be closer and you might 1400 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,800 Speaker 1: and maybe he has hopes that maybe when Bill leaves, 1401 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 1: like you like Matt Patricia for example, like you know, 1402 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 1: like I'm he goes, I'm sick of getting death threats. 1403 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 1: I was getting death threats. Like maybe he's like, I'm 1404 01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,439 Speaker 1: never gonna be a head coach again. I don't want it. 1405 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't want it. You know, we're about shadow shit now. 1406 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,479 Speaker 1: I don't think he can get it off. But you 1407 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 1: know that's besides the point. Adam Gaze is a name 1408 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 1: that I would consider. I would definitely, you know, they're 1409 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 1: playing them this weekend, and I kind of mentioned it 1410 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: quickly earlier, but I'd be really monitoring the situation in Arizona. 1411 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: If Cliff Kingsbury gets fired, I'd have him on a 1412 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 1: plane tomorrow. But like what about like you know, we 1413 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 1: talk about the Big twelve, you know, and how they 1414 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,560 Speaker 1: don't play defense there, and like there seems to be 1415 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,160 Speaker 1: like some good offensive minds in that conference, you know, 1416 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: like it could be somebody we don't we don't even 1417 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 1: know about, you know, Yeah, I mean I think the 1418 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,800 Speaker 1: question somebody like that. No, my question is just if 1419 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,600 Speaker 1: he would hire somebody he had that like in a 1420 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 1: big position like this, that has no experience here. That's 1421 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 1: my that's my question of you know, the Chatochets of 1422 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,639 Speaker 1: the world, the Bill O'Brian's guys that have been here 1423 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,200 Speaker 1: for a long period of time and know how it works. 1424 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: I just if he wasn't willing to go outside the 1425 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 1: organization and try something different like the Patricia moved to 1426 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,519 Speaker 1: me just signaled a very important thing to him is 1427 01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 1: having somebody that he knows and trusts. Well, that's the 1428 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 1: thing that why I think if it's not Bill O'Brien, 1429 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Matt Patrician. Yeah, because he does. He 1430 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 1: does like hiring from within, you know, he likes to 1431 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 1: keep it, you know, all inside, like people who speak 1432 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 1: the same language. I understand it to a degree. I mean, 1433 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 1: I think now it's been you've been kind of pillaged, 1434 01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: and the pipelines are are a mess across the board 1435 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 1: in terms of you know, who's coaching war. But I 1436 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:13,800 Speaker 1: don't know. I think there's a couple candidates. I just 1437 01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:15,640 Speaker 1: hope it's somebody. I don't know how you can go 1438 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 1: back into next season unless they explode in these last 1439 01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 1: five games. I don't know how you Yeah, you're failing now, 1440 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean go back again. Oh we got one more year, 1441 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 1: run it back in position. Yeah, I think you know. Thanks, 1442 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 1: Not not to disagree with Eldric or anybody that says this, 1443 01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,960 Speaker 1: but just because I agree with Paul that there there's 1444 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,680 Speaker 1: definitely a chance that it is Matt Patricia again next year, 1445 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: helping him by building out the rest of the coaching 1446 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:48,400 Speaker 1: staff around him, getting an actual offensive line coach off 1447 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:51,000 Speaker 1: his plate and would make it better, and maybe getting 1448 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 1: a quarterbacks coach he met. Elder mentioned Adam Gaze, who 1449 01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,559 Speaker 1: I think if they made him the offensive coordinator, people 1450 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,080 Speaker 1: would also want to pull their hair out based of 1451 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:01,559 Speaker 1: how it won in New York and at the end 1452 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 1: in Miami. But he's at least somebody that's coach quarterbacks before, 1453 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 1: has a resume doing it in the NFL, has coached 1454 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, has coached some you know, quarterbacks in Miami 1455 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,040 Speaker 1: and New York, and maybe not always successfully, but at 1456 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 1: least he has done it in the past. At this level, 1457 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 1: you'd be funny as if they hire like Adam Case 1458 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:24,960 Speaker 1: and uh, he's the offensive assistant. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, 1459 01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,479 Speaker 1: you know anything, but yeah, yeah, you know, Evan brought 1460 01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,760 Speaker 1: up something a little while ago that you know, like 1461 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:36,599 Speaker 1: Bill gets criticized. Um, and you know about the situation 1462 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,640 Speaker 1: they're in now because people said, well, Josh mcdails, he 1463 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna stay forever, and there was no plan. There 1464 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 1: was no plan, Mike right, there was no plan. And 1465 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,040 Speaker 1: jet Fishes is a name that you throw out there. 1466 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if that was quote unquote a plan. Yeah, like, 1467 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,639 Speaker 1: let's bringing this guy. Yeah, let's bring in this guy, 1468 01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,760 Speaker 1: make him the quarterbacks coach or haven't worked with the 1469 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,400 Speaker 1: order back at the very least, I don't remember his 1470 01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:05,080 Speaker 1: exact title was. And then maybe you know, two years, 1471 01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:08,439 Speaker 1: three years in the system. If Josh leaves, we have 1472 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:13,720 Speaker 1: a guy that we feel good about. Stupid Arizona. Yeahlar 1473 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:20,200 Speaker 1: Melvin's a tennis he'll he'll be back in Hey. I 1474 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,519 Speaker 1: got a cool question really not about the pages, but 1475 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 1: about just the NFL in general. Why do like teams 1476 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:32,719 Speaker 1: or quote unquote sources um leak out information that possible 1477 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,240 Speaker 1: was that if they work intern with a team. I'm 1478 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 1: trying like, for example, like right before the Giants and 1479 01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:43,800 Speaker 1: that when not the Giant Cowboys saying that Odell Beckham pain. 1480 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 1: Why would they leak out and say something that wrong 1481 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,200 Speaker 1: with us with his medical when he's been to other 1482 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,640 Speaker 1: teams and they didn't really put anything out there. What 1483 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:55,080 Speaker 1: benefit though the sources get from putting information out there 1484 01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,960 Speaker 1: like that nationally? I mean it depends on who the sources. 1485 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 1: You know, you look get the source and who you know. 1486 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,639 Speaker 1: You look at the information and you say, who benefits 1487 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 1: from this information? And trying to drum up more interest 1488 01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 1: for the player? I mean it's an agent or you 1489 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,639 Speaker 1: trying to scare off other teams. Yeah, drive down the price. Yeah, 1490 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,160 Speaker 1: there are different ways to look at it. It could 1491 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 1: be an effort to drive down the price. Uh. It 1492 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,680 Speaker 1: could also be an effort in Dallas. Everything is magnified 1493 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:24,479 Speaker 1: in Dallas, right, I've heard that. Um, maybe Dallas is saying, 1494 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 1: don't blame us when we don't sign that, right, Yeah, 1495 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,560 Speaker 1: because he's kind of yeah, it's not there, you know. 1496 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 1: So that's how Dallas could benefit from leaking that information. 1497 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they pulled out all the stops for Odell. 1498 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 1: They got Luca don Chi coming over to him on 1499 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:44,080 Speaker 1: the side up. Did you see that MAVs game, Like god, 1500 01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: crowd is chanting like the Royals. You know, they got 1501 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons and Travan Diggs taking him on the high rollers, 1502 01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,599 Speaker 1: you know, suite to the Mavericks game. And then if 1503 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,160 Speaker 1: they don't get him, they say, well, our doctor said 1504 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: was so like the Patriots wouldn't necessarily have to put 1505 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 1: out pr spin if they talk to somebody and didn't 1506 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 1: sign him. Dallas kind of does, like Jerry Jones really 1507 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,560 Speaker 1: strongly believes in that, you know, because really there's no 1508 01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,320 Speaker 1: one there's no way that Dallas should not sign him, right, Jay, 1509 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,760 Speaker 1: it's a native, he's a Native Texan. I believe they 1510 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,760 Speaker 1: are a contender. They have the quarterback in place, they 1511 01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 1: have all the pieces that he wants. He said up 1512 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,720 Speaker 1: multiple times that his dad was a huge Cowboys fan 1513 01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,920 Speaker 1: growing up and that's where he wants to be. Ideal 1514 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Buffalo Dallas. Those to me, those are the 1515 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: three that make a lot of sense. He also has 1516 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,519 Speaker 1: been talking with the Giants, I know, and that to 1517 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,240 Speaker 1: me doesn't make any sense. Yeah, that wouldn't make that. 1518 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 1: That's the other team that's strongly puss not if you're 1519 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,320 Speaker 1: not catching any passes. He wouldn't catch any passes to 1520 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo for O B J. No offense. That's in Dallas, 1521 01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 1: in Texas. That's that's now no good. I sometimes get 1522 01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,800 Speaker 1: and guilty Melvin of taking the reports at face value. 1523 01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,439 Speaker 1: Sometimes that happens. I know, I always question everything, but 1524 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,040 Speaker 1: sometimes I take it at face value. I wonder if 1525 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,439 Speaker 1: there's any truth to that and he can't be a 1526 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,479 Speaker 1: part of your offense before say the middle of January, 1527 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Like they were talking on ESPN yesterday, how much you're 1528 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,519 Speaker 1: gonna pay him if you're gonna sign him. You got 1529 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,559 Speaker 1: to sign them for next year. You know, you can't 1530 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,519 Speaker 1: just sign them to So maybe you could play in 1531 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,160 Speaker 1: the divisional round. Yeah, God, a player like that in 1532 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 1: that situation, Oh, because you at least Yeah, I mean 1533 01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,599 Speaker 1: there's possibility if if things didn't work out and all 1534 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm not getting offers anywhere and you 1535 01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 1: found out it was the team right hip of violations 1536 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 1: and whatnot. That stuff is very hard to prove. Yeah, 1537 01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 1: but yeah, it be an uphill battle, but you could 1538 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 1: somebody might try to cross that line at something. All right, 1539 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Melvin, strictly talk Patriots Lars is in Camp Pendleton. 1540 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 1: What's up, Lars? Hurrah been a while, thank you for 1541 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:05,880 Speaker 1: your service, or it's not. Hooray Matt's coming to choke 1542 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 1: you out right now. Yeah, it's been a while. Hey, 1543 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,240 Speaker 1: I think I owe I'm not sorry Elder an apology. 1544 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,800 Speaker 1: I think I'm was programmed by Paul's show to not 1545 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:23,240 Speaker 1: appreciate the wide receiver talent enough. But I've always kind 1546 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:27,679 Speaker 1: of rolled my eyes when Elder's mobbying for uh faster, 1547 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:32,360 Speaker 1: bigger wide receiver and lasting like decade. But I don't 1548 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,160 Speaker 1: know if it's the Jefferson and Digs back to back 1549 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: and then Hopkins and Adams on the horizon. I guess 1550 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:42,560 Speaker 1: I just like I haven't bought up a pat that 1551 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 1: I just couldn't call it then, but just that the 1552 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 1: league has kind of changed with the topping bide receivers, 1553 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 1: and I just think about the way the papers have 1554 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: gone about trying to acquire talent to that position, and 1555 01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 1: it's either on the scrappet, you know, like clearance rack, 1556 01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 1: or in the draft and it never seems to work. 1557 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:02,679 Speaker 1: And I'm just thinking about the Colm people who changed 1558 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: hands last year, and so I have to question one 1559 01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, you do you get think like that top 1560 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,160 Speaker 1: end wide receiver would be worth say two history of 1561 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 1: the receiver suite have acquired over the last couple of years, 1562 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:19,400 Speaker 1: taking like porn Agalore Parker. Um, So are you saying, 1563 01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 1: like would you rather have Jamar Chase or born in Agalore? Yeah? 1564 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 1: Is that the question? Like, I mean, like a top 1565 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,439 Speaker 1: end receiver over is that multiple? Yeah? I mean I 1566 01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:33,320 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't even think Fred would say no 1567 01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:38,000 Speaker 1: to that. Fred loves Justin Jefferson. Yeah, right, question. I 1568 01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,000 Speaker 1: was going to get other receivers in addition now, but 1569 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking about like I guess like the Hollywood Brown, 1570 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 1: A J. Brown, Parker Hill, you know not Parker An Adams, 1571 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: you know the guy who change hands for for high 1572 01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,560 Speaker 1: Craft Capital and are a sign for big money. And 1573 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,120 Speaker 1: I think like if you add up an Angalore and 1574 01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,759 Speaker 1: a Parker, they get pretty close to those top twenty 1575 01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 1: receivers the second they've had the second most money in 1576 01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,439 Speaker 1: their money. Yeah. Sorry, I thought top production. Yeah, no, 1577 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:16,720 Speaker 1: not production like resource allocations. Are you look there? I looked. 1578 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,640 Speaker 1: I did a little show prep. There's three teams that 1579 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 1: have two top twenty five UH reginable value by receivers, 1580 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:25,640 Speaker 1: and they're all guys you would want any one of them? 1581 01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:30,719 Speaker 1: Uh and lock it in that calf Evans and Godwin 1582 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 1: and uh, let's see it was oh and Williams an 1583 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: alp on the Chargers. Those those guys are both like 1584 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,000 Speaker 1: twenty million plus a year. So my question would you 1585 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,160 Speaker 1: think one of those like why haven't you traded the 1586 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: first round pick and whatever else back that involved and 1587 01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,720 Speaker 1: paid someone twenty five million bucks? And he put a 1588 01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 1: bunch of number three behind that guy. And just with 1589 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:57,200 Speaker 1: me as career respondent, that took a choir here, I 1590 01:19:57,240 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 1: don't Yeah, yeah, the only one in that whole list 1591 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,040 Speaker 1: that he d toled off of all those guys that 1592 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 1: change hands that I wouldn't necessarily be willing to give 1593 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 1: the twenty plus million in the first round picked for 1594 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 1: his Hollywood Brown. I mean, all the rest of those 1595 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: guys A J. Brown and you know Digs and Hollywood Brown. 1596 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,599 Speaker 1: Hopkins is already happening, Hopkins on the roster. So they 1597 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:17,680 Speaker 1: traded for Hollywood Brown to be their number two. And 1598 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm fine, Like, I think Hollywood Brown's fine player. I 1599 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,400 Speaker 1: just don't put him in that he's not a Yeah, 1600 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 1: he's not one of those elite receivers. He's a good player. 1601 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,519 Speaker 1: I mean they've they've tried the last few years to 1602 01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:30,599 Speaker 1: kill Harry first round pick. I mean it's just they're 1603 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,560 Speaker 1: getting the wrong guys, you know. I think that's what 1604 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 1: it is. And part of it is the overall philosophy 1605 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 1: of the league has changed, and you need those guys. 1606 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 1: But I still think death is important. I mean, Jamar 1607 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 1: Chase T. Higgins. I mean, you know, like you need, 1608 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 1: you need good by probably have the best wide receiver 1609 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:49,760 Speaker 1: corps in football. And it also gets easier maybe miamis, yeah, 1610 01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 1: but it also gets easier on those guys when you 1611 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,720 Speaker 1: have that top guy and all the attentions going to them, 1612 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:55,960 Speaker 1: and now they're getting matchups and you know so I 1613 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,519 Speaker 1: mean would Agalore or Bourne or Myers or any the 1614 01:20:58,560 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 1: guys that they have in the roster now look better 1615 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 1: with of course, and so they just have to continue 1616 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 1: to invest in that resource. And I mean the offensive 1617 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,639 Speaker 1: line is certainly a priority this offseason. I would say 1618 01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:09,680 Speaker 1: linebacker is certainly a priority, and I would just say 1619 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:12,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver continues to be a priority. You're gonna have 1620 01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,360 Speaker 1: major turnover there. I have no problem investing multiple draft 1621 01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: picks in that I'm terrified a free agency though, but 1622 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,200 Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty one did me wrong. And you know, 1623 01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:22,960 Speaker 1: because I don't think there's been I mean, there's been 1624 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot of high impact trades, but I'm not sure 1625 01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 1: that it's been the wide receivers. I think you're looking 1626 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,479 Speaker 1: for guys like the Patriots, God like Corey Davis, good player, 1627 01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:34,559 Speaker 1: you know. And I think that was a good move 1628 01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 1: for the Jets because it gave them a veteran to 1629 01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,960 Speaker 1: go with their young guys. Yeah, you know, and if 1630 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,080 Speaker 1: they could get a quarterback, and you know, I'm not 1631 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,000 Speaker 1: necessarily sold on Mike f and White yet Garrett Wilson is, 1632 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,120 Speaker 1: but you know, you get Garrett Wilson, Elijah with a 1633 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,760 Speaker 1: with a veteran, and Corey Davis that can work. But 1634 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,120 Speaker 1: most of those got like Kenny Galladay, he's been well, 1635 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 1: that's why for that giant. So we're talking about this 1636 01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 1: earlier too, pre agency guys that are going to be 1637 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 1: free agents in twenty twenty four, right, because a lot 1638 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,800 Speaker 1: of these right so that those are the guys that 1639 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 1: get disgruntled because their negotiations for their new contracts aren't 1640 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 1: going well. And eventually they ask out right. So a 1641 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 1: couple of those guys are like te Higgins is going 1642 01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,360 Speaker 1: to be a twenty twenty four free agent or scheduled 1643 01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,920 Speaker 1: to Jerry Judy is scheduled to be a twenty twenty 1644 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,000 Speaker 1: four free agent. So I don't know if those names 1645 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 1: necessarily are in the A. J. Brown category, but I 1646 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,679 Speaker 1: think the point of has the lead changed? Yeah? Absolutely, 1647 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean you pull up the thinks no, And this 1648 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 1: is I think a big problem about what's going on 1649 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 1: right now with this team. You pull up the AFC 1650 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,679 Speaker 1: standings right now. I'll just run through them quickly. Buffalo, 1651 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:41,439 Speaker 1: Stefon Digs, Kansas City, Travis Kelsey, Baltimore, Mark Andrews, Tennessee 1652 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 1: somehow does it right? But they had AJ Brown and 1653 01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,639 Speaker 1: then they traded away, and then their gym gets fired 1654 01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:51,320 Speaker 1: because he traded AJ Brown, Cincinnati, Jamar Chase, Miami, Tyree 1655 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:54,160 Speaker 1: kill Jalen Waddle and how the Jets who have Garrett Wilson, 1656 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 1: who is a problem. So every single one of these 1657 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:58,639 Speaker 1: teams you can point to it. I think with Tennessee 1658 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,639 Speaker 1: you point to the running back and you can say 1659 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,639 Speaker 1: they have a stud weapon, they have a superstar weapon 1660 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,439 Speaker 1: that on Tuesdays when you get into your game plan meetings, 1661 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,599 Speaker 1: you have to decide how are we going to defend 1662 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,920 Speaker 1: this guy? Right? And I was doing some early Raiders Preppers, 1663 01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,760 Speaker 1: reading some of their writers, and they have seen a 1664 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 1: lot of their run game success. They're third in the 1665 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: league right now, an EPA on the ground and I 1666 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,719 Speaker 1: was looking into why that is that's been and stuff 1667 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,599 Speaker 1: like that. And they've seen more too high safety shells 1668 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,599 Speaker 1: than any team in the league because Davante Adams demands 1669 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:31,880 Speaker 1: the safety attention. So now all of a sudden they 1670 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,639 Speaker 1: have lighter boxes and now Josh Jacob's got all sorts 1671 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,240 Speaker 1: of room to run great, So it's great. These are 1672 01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,960 Speaker 1: the chess matches that it's not just about the production, 1673 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,600 Speaker 1: is my point. It's also about what it does, what 1674 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,439 Speaker 1: it allows you to do and right, you know, and 1675 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,920 Speaker 1: something you said I think yesterday, if not it was 1676 01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,719 Speaker 1: last week, that really resonates too. Like That's why I asked, 1677 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:53,000 Speaker 1: do you think build thinks that it's changed? And a 1678 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 1: lot of people do. Remember on the draft shows when 1679 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,080 Speaker 1: they made the aj Brown trade, and you know, we 1680 01:23:58,200 --> 01:23:59,439 Speaker 1: were all like, you know, what, you think the Patriots 1681 01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 1: would ever make it trade? Like that and we all 1682 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 1: said no, And I think that they would be the opposite. 1683 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 1: And I think I don't know if you said it yesterday, 1684 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: but like the Titans move that was so Patriots, Yeah, 1685 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 1: and never made that point about John Robinson taking a 1686 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 1: page right out of the Patriots playbook. So like to 1687 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: you a point, Mike, keep trying in the draft, keep 1688 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,559 Speaker 1: trying in the draft so they can trade him after 1689 01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 1: the third year when he got When the guy wants 1690 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 1: to get paid, like Deebo Samuel wanted to get paid, 1691 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 1: they paid him. Terry McLaurin wanted to get paid, they 1692 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 1: paid him, you know, a J. Brown. They ended up 1693 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: moving him. But like, I'm not sure that I think 1694 01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots would be in we're going to move him, 1695 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,800 Speaker 1: yeah camp, rather than you know they would they would 1696 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,280 Speaker 1: just sit there and say, well, who do we have 1697 01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,360 Speaker 1: on our list? Now? I think that Treylon Burke's kid. 1698 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 1: I think he can play. Yeah, I think I think 1699 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,600 Speaker 1: they may have made the best of a bad situation. 1700 01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: You know. Unfortunately he's been banged up a little bit 1701 01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,639 Speaker 1: and seeing an out of the lineup. But I've seen, yeah, 1702 01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 1: I've seen something. I've seen some flashes though. Yeah, I 1703 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:00,400 Speaker 1: liked him, and I just sa, I mean, is it 1704 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,080 Speaker 1: fair to Mac Jones? Will we ever get a true 1705 01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:04,720 Speaker 1: sense of who Mac Jones is if he doesn't get 1706 01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 1: a chance to play with a guy like that? You know, 1707 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just asking a lot. It's asking 1708 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 1: a lot for him to to elevate a team. You know. 1709 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 1: I wonder if Bill still thinks if I could get 1710 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:16,719 Speaker 1: someone this show told me they didn't have any concerns 1711 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,760 Speaker 1: about the offense. I just but it does go back 1712 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:24,600 Speaker 1: to Fred's thing, because when when the Cardinals and the 1713 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,840 Speaker 1: and uh and Vance Joseph, who's having the time of 1714 01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 1: his life when he uh, when they when they get 1715 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 1: in on on Monday and they start to turn the 1716 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 1: page to New England and they look at New England's offense. 1717 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 1: Who on the Patriot's offense? Are you circling like we 1718 01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,559 Speaker 1: gotta take this guy out? That's exactly what we want. 1719 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:43,479 Speaker 1: They have no idea. And that's the argument. They got 1720 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,519 Speaker 1: this depth and they can spread it around and you 1721 01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 1: know you don't take But the problem is is that 1722 01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:51,920 Speaker 1: the one guy that maybe you in the passing game 1723 01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 1: is like Jacoby, because that's just who they target a lot, right, 1724 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,920 Speaker 1: so the Jacoby's the guy that you need to take out. 1725 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,240 Speaker 1: But if you have a good, good enough corner, you 1726 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 1: don't necessarily to help to Jacoby, right, Like you know, 1727 01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 1: Byron Murphy's a solid cover guy and he's not going 1728 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 1: getting yet. Right, So it's the same thing as last year. 1729 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, they put an extra guy in the box. 1730 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 1: Now you can't run the football because you're running into 1731 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 1: seven and eight man boxes all the time. You have 1732 01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,840 Speaker 1: nobody on the outside that gives anybody any fear. And 1733 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,680 Speaker 1: you just look at how all these teams that have 1734 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,719 Speaker 1: these number one guys, just how defenses have to change 1735 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 1: their entire game plan, like we're talking about DeAndre Hopkins, 1736 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,760 Speaker 1: Like you just have to change the entire game plan, 1737 01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,880 Speaker 1: your entire strategy to cover that guy, and it opens 1738 01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:34,800 Speaker 1: up things elsewhere. And that's why the Raiders have had 1739 01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:36,680 Speaker 1: so much success running the football. Do you think that 1740 01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,280 Speaker 1: they believe that Tykwon Thornton could be a number one 1741 01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,880 Speaker 1: think that was part of it is that they think 1742 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:47,519 Speaker 1: that a role in the whole offense, right, Like, oh, 1743 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 1: he's you know, our take the top off the defense guy, 1744 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 1: and Jacoby is our you know, high volume targets. You know, 1745 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 1: intermediate guy, and that's not that's not game breaking, Like, 1746 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 1: that's not don't want that guy. Yeah, they'd rather have 1747 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,519 Speaker 1: this situation where and they're all pieces of the pub 1748 01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 1: And how many more of these kind of seasons do 1749 01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: you need before you I just think you need to 1750 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,160 Speaker 1: be so elite at quarterback to do it that way, 1751 01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: to like to you guys point like you always say, 1752 01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 1: like what would mac Jones be if he had that? Like, well, yeah, 1753 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 1: I think most quarterbacks are like that, like they need 1754 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 1: to have other guys help elevate their game as opposed 1755 01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,000 Speaker 1: to Brady elevating everybody around him. Yeah, I mean, you know, 1756 01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 1: in that way, at least in theory. I mean I 1757 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 1: can see, like, you know why you would say, well, 1758 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 1: it's really hard to get a one A, but if 1759 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,240 Speaker 1: we had three or four really good bees, we could 1760 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,200 Speaker 1: probably make it work with a good quarterback. Yeah, I 1761 01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: get it. It makes sense. Like I said, I don't 1762 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 1: think that the Patriots wide receivers stink. I just think 1763 01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,080 Speaker 1: they have a bunch of complimentary pieces, and I think 1764 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,439 Speaker 1: it's hard to do it just that way. Like if 1765 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 1: you if this group would look a lot better, not 1766 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,320 Speaker 1: you know, breaking any news and I think with a 1767 01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:53,559 Speaker 1: stud to put everybody down a pair. And I think 1768 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 1: has Evan read off those things? I mean tight ends too. 1769 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,880 Speaker 1: It's not just like that game breaking wide receiver that 1770 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 1: you know it's it's it can be a I'm just 1771 01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 1: thinking about the Cardinals a little bit. I know we'll 1772 01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,240 Speaker 1: talk about them more probably tomorrow, but like you're talking 1773 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,200 Speaker 1: about the defensive coaches and how they're gonna look at 1774 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,519 Speaker 1: the Patriots, I wonder if, like does Clip Kingsbury look 1775 01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 1: and say, Justin Jefferson, Stefan Diggs, I got one of those. 1776 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:16,760 Speaker 1: Yeah I can. I can move the ball and score 1777 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,920 Speaker 1: points in this game. Yeah, you know, like just look 1778 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 1: at the last couple of weeks and they weren't able 1779 01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:23,760 Speaker 1: to take away the number one. Why would you think 1780 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna completely eliminate Hopkins. I just think two in 1781 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:28,920 Speaker 1: Miami is such a great example of all of this 1782 01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,960 Speaker 1: because Tah is not a physical marvel, right, Like he's 1783 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 1: he's not Josh Allen, He's not Justin Herbert. But what 1784 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,080 Speaker 1: TA is good at or all these like secondary passer 1785 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:44,640 Speaker 1: traits like anticipation, accuracy. You know, I am manipulation, coverage, manipulation, 1786 01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,519 Speaker 1: and I think that the guy here is good at 1787 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,320 Speaker 1: those things too. But in order to have an offense 1788 01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,120 Speaker 1: that is predicated on those things, it has to be 1789 01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 1: built a certain way, and Miami built it perfectly for 1790 01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,200 Speaker 1: to a great play caller. Tyree killed Jalen Waddle and 1791 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,320 Speaker 1: so he's it amplified all those traits of his and 1792 01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't ask him to playmake outside the pocket or 1793 01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 1: throw sixty yard bombs all the time to create big plays, 1794 01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:10,680 Speaker 1: and it allows him to do things that he's good 1795 01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,679 Speaker 1: at and amplify those things. And I think on Thursday 1796 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,800 Speaker 1: night when Mac threw that interception that was an interception 1797 01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,040 Speaker 1: but they got the call from Jordan Poyer, that was 1798 01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,439 Speaker 1: a perfect example of the play broke down. It was 1799 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:26,960 Speaker 1: a second reaction or extended play. And Hunter Henry does 1800 01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 1: flash open down field for half a beat, but he 1801 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:33,120 Speaker 1: just doesn't have the arm and the physical tools to 1802 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,439 Speaker 1: throw across his body on the move and beat the 1803 01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,800 Speaker 1: safety there with a good throw and it gets intercepted. 1804 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 1: So in order to amplify things that Mac Jones is 1805 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 1: good at, you have to go with the model like Miami, 1806 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:50,640 Speaker 1: and you have to make those secondary passer traits amplified 1807 01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:54,120 Speaker 1: by having good playmakers around him. Brendan asked a simple 1808 01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,800 Speaker 1: question at web radio at Patriots dot Com. He says, 1809 01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,800 Speaker 1: what would the Patriots record be this year if the 1810 01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:03,880 Speaker 1: team had prime Drew Bledsoe? Will you laugh? I would 1811 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,000 Speaker 1: actually thinking, I think they'd be better. Of course they 1812 01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,240 Speaker 1: would be yeah, oh yeah, Drew would hang in there. 1813 01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 1: He'd be firing balls down the field. Teon Thorne, probably 1814 01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,760 Speaker 1: have like four or five already. Yeah, like he would 1815 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:16,280 Speaker 1: make that pass you were just talking about, because he's 1816 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:18,880 Speaker 1: got the arms. They'd be better, There's no question about it. Now, 1817 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they'd be a threat because he would 1818 01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 1: throw too many picks. Well he's not. So then I was, 1819 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,560 Speaker 1: I was thinking of that last thing, and then I 1820 01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:30,400 Speaker 1: was thinking, Paul, Paul, if you as if you had 1821 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,720 Speaker 1: to choose, if you had to choose between in the 1822 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 1: Patriots Hall of Fame Bledsoe or Richard Seymour, who who 1823 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:41,680 Speaker 1: would get in? Only one can get in Seymour? What 1824 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:47,519 Speaker 1: I would say, Seymour, that's an argument for Drew Bledsoe. See, 1825 01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,960 Speaker 1: I would say, bled Did I miss it wrong? No, 1826 01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,719 Speaker 1: I'm I think making fun of me. No, I'm asking 1827 01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,400 Speaker 1: is there an argument for Drew Bledsoe. I think in 1828 01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:58,960 Speaker 1: terms in terms of like importance to the franchise and 1829 01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:01,240 Speaker 1: all that stuff. To see you you put far more. 1830 01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing about being a Hall of 1831 01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:07,280 Speaker 1: Fame voter, which Fred and I are. Um, it's you 1832 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 1: you can have. And Fred is very much um you know, 1833 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,759 Speaker 1: fabric of the of the the organization, like his impact 1834 01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,160 Speaker 1: on the team, and you know that kind of stuff. 1835 01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:21,439 Speaker 1: And I mean you can make it the best player. 1836 01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:24,160 Speaker 1: You can make an argument that that Drew Bledsoe is 1837 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,639 Speaker 1: every bit as important as any player you know beyond 1838 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:29,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady who's ever played for the team. You could 1839 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,559 Speaker 1: make that arch also argument. But the coin in two 1840 01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:34,800 Speaker 1: thousand and one without Richard Seymour. So no, no, no, 1841 01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't know my answer. I don't know how you answer. 1842 01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm the biggest bred so Bledsoe honk that you could 1843 01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 1: find a sitting in the other room. But I just 1844 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:46,639 Speaker 1: go I just go by talents, like I just think 1845 01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,200 Speaker 1: Seymour was a better player. Fred goes by more than 1846 01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:51,760 Speaker 1: just talent. And I think Fred makes a good argue. 1847 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:53,799 Speaker 1: It resonates for me as a kid in the nineties 1848 01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:56,840 Speaker 1: who can specifically remember the day that Drew Bledsoe came, 1849 01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 1: became a part of that day. I became a season 1850 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 1: tended holder, you know, like it was hope, we finally 1851 01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,080 Speaker 1: had one of those guys like that. That's the day 1852 01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:06,400 Speaker 1: I jumped on board for us. For some of the 1853 01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:09,320 Speaker 1: you know generations just behind mine, it's two thousand and one. 1854 01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,439 Speaker 1: That's you know, they that is what got their intention locally. 1855 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:14,360 Speaker 1: But you don't find the tay Law theory that they 1856 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:16,320 Speaker 1: would have won the Super Bowl on a one but 1857 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 1: without Richard Withdrew babe. Just but the reason why they 1858 01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl No. One was because of Richard 1859 01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 1: Seymour than like, you know, well the game, you're talking 1860 01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 1: about the game itself, I'm talking about the season to 1861 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:31,800 Speaker 1: get there. I don't think they would have gotten to 1862 01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,680 Speaker 1: the super Bowl if Drew coach quarterback the whole way. 1863 01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:36,800 Speaker 1: I just don't. I just don't know. I don't know. 1864 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:38,920 Speaker 1: I think they would have been Okay, I don't think 1865 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,000 Speaker 1: they would have been a trend to the franchise. How 1866 01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:44,360 Speaker 1: is anything more important than two thousand and one like that, 1867 01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:47,760 Speaker 1: that's that's the pinnacle, Like two thousand and one is 1868 01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,640 Speaker 1: what got the whole thing started. Yeah, before that, they 1869 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,080 Speaker 1: were they were. We know what they were, so it 1870 01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:56,080 Speaker 1: pretty good. I think we're gonna get nineties. We're gonna 1871 01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:59,400 Speaker 1: get nineties defensive right now. No, but they weren't bad. 1872 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean I think it's it was I kind of 1873 01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,120 Speaker 1: I usually hesitate, and I balked at like they wouldn't 1874 01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:09,479 Speaker 1: have you know, like I used to hear people that, like, 1875 01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, uh, they wouldn't have gotten to the super 1876 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 1: Bowl and ninety six without Terry Glenn. Like, I mean, 1877 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,240 Speaker 1: Terry Glenn had a phenomenal rookie season. How do I 1878 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:21,720 Speaker 1: know they wouldn't have gotten a super Bowl? I don't know. 1879 01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,519 Speaker 1: Maybe someone else would have caught ninety passes. It's funny 1880 01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:26,200 Speaker 1: because when you get to the playoffs, like how many 1881 01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,680 Speaker 1: touchdowns that they actually get in the playoffs in two 1882 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:30,080 Speaker 1: thousand and one, I mean, Drew through one of them, 1883 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,640 Speaker 1: Brady through one or two others. I mean there were 1884 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,600 Speaker 1: maybe two. Brady scored one. I'm pretty sure they had 1885 01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,640 Speaker 1: the same amount of touchdown passes in the playoffs. And 1886 01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,760 Speaker 1: but the touchdown of David Patton and the Super Bowl 1887 01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:44,840 Speaker 1: is an awesome throw. So it was the touchdown play. 1888 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 1: It was the same play that Drew through the exact 1889 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: same play. Well they turned it up before. Yeah, there's 1890 01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,639 Speaker 1: actually a great clip. I lost control of my bodily 1891 01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:57,960 Speaker 1: functions on this on that on that four play stretch. 1892 01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:02,280 Speaker 1: The Pro Bowl Skills Challenge they like, used to interview 1893 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,720 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, and the quarterbacks used to break down their 1894 01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 1: favorite play in their offense. And yeah, I have it 1895 01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:13,360 Speaker 1: to clip somewhere um of Brady breaking down the play 1896 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:16,040 Speaker 1: that he threw the touchdown to David Patton too. Yeah, yeah, 1897 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 1: that's right, fing forge banana fifty. So it is so 1898 01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:23,639 Speaker 1: the little motion that he goes in they do call 1899 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,840 Speaker 1: it a fing motioning. I don't know if they call 1900 01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,360 Speaker 1: it fing motion anymore, because who the heck knows what 1901 01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 1: they call anything now, But that's that's what it was. 1902 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 1: This guy goed that way. Brian and I did a 1903 01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,840 Speaker 1: thing when we still had the paper. I I bet 1904 01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:42,320 Speaker 1: you Bryan could rattle it off like verbatim zero slot 1905 01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:45,519 Speaker 1: right three thirty five max based throwback chip flare. Yeah, 1906 01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:48,960 Speaker 1: that's of course, but that's of course. Uh L from 1907 01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:51,920 Speaker 1: Wisconsin says, too long of a break between the game 1908 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 1: and the shows was a rough weekend anyway. I have 1909 01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 1: a few things that like the thoughts on won the 1910 01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:58,479 Speaker 1: field goal at the end of the Vikings game was 1911 01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:03,639 Speaker 1: just embarrassing the Bills game. I think the Bills game. 1912 01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,360 Speaker 1: The Bills game. Kicking the field goal at the end 1913 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:06,960 Speaker 1: of the Bills game. I'm gonna say, make guess. So 1914 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,320 Speaker 1: someone said, who is Mack to question the coaches? He 1915 01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,519 Speaker 1: hasn't earned it. Now. I'm not a Mac guy by 1916 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:16,480 Speaker 1: any means, but he does have a year more experience 1917 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,880 Speaker 1: in an NFL offense than the coordinator. Fair point, who 1918 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:23,040 Speaker 1: is he? Bill said at the start of the season 1919 01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,320 Speaker 1: that he should be held accountable. I think he can 1920 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,720 Speaker 1: say that because he knows he won't be You can 1921 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,240 Speaker 1: question all you want, but if there is zero threat 1922 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:33,240 Speaker 1: to his job, then it doesn't matter. You've all said it. 1923 01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:35,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to worry about losing his job. In 1924 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:37,760 Speaker 1: that case, he can do whatever he wants and will 1925 01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:40,720 Speaker 1: not be held accountable. The media asking questions isn't the 1926 01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 1: same Agree with that part. And I actually heard someone 1927 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:50,479 Speaker 1: say something along those lines this morning that it's easy 1928 01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:51,840 Speaker 1: for Bill to say, you put it on me because 1929 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:53,880 Speaker 1: he knows he's not gonna get fired. He's got six 1930 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,760 Speaker 1: Super bowls. He's not going anywhere you don't care. I 1931 01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:00,200 Speaker 1: think I think it was Tom Curran's podcast. I was 1932 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,680 Speaker 1: listening to a little of this morning. I think it 1933 01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:06,800 Speaker 1: came up with him in Florio, your boy Florio, not 1934 01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:11,519 Speaker 1: to defend my fellow media down here, but ask questioning 1935 01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 1: Bill about like I get that a little bit of people. 1936 01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 1: I think the questions are there, Yeah, people being like, 1937 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:19,120 Speaker 1: why doesn't the media, like you know, come after Bill 1938 01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 1: about this whole thing? And it's like other than like, 1939 01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, fans and media getting off on the fact 1940 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,599 Speaker 1: that they challenge Bill, you know, at the press conference. 1941 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 1: None of us make decisions around here, like it doesn't 1942 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:32,840 Speaker 1: actually make a difference whether or not we And that's 1943 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 1: why I think the email is right. It's that doesn't count, right. 1944 01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 1: But I do think that we talked again before you 1945 01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,800 Speaker 1: came on EV about the the back and forth with 1946 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:43,920 Speaker 1: Phil Perry and Bill yesterday, and you and I were 1947 01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,320 Speaker 1: sitting there, and you know, I didn't think it was confrontational. 1948 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,160 Speaker 1: I thought it was just a very professional back and 1949 01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:55,400 Speaker 1: forth and he's asking Phil's asking him more or less 1950 01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,760 Speaker 1: why is it like this and why is it too late? 1951 01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:03,280 Speaker 1: And why you know, what is the differences between as 1952 01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,840 Speaker 1: his example, going in a different direction down the stretch 1953 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:09,360 Speaker 1: of eighteen to now, and I thought it was good 1954 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,880 Speaker 1: back and forth. I didn't. I didn't necessarily think it 1955 01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:14,600 Speaker 1: was like whoa, he really held his feet to the fire. No, 1956 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:18,040 Speaker 1: it's just good football questions. And I think that you've 1957 01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:22,720 Speaker 1: gotten now. They've won everything for twenty plus years. So 1958 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:24,800 Speaker 1: as much as I make fun of the media, I'm 1959 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:27,080 Speaker 1: really only kind of doing it half in jest. This 1960 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:29,400 Speaker 1: is one of the rare times where there's reasons every 1961 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 1: week to go in there and ask him tough questions, 1962 01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:33,600 Speaker 1: I think, and I think they have. I think they have, 1963 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:37,439 Speaker 1: but but but the emails point is right. The only 1964 01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:40,679 Speaker 1: person that can really hold him accountable is Robert Craft. 1965 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:46,000 Speaker 1: Sure you know, um Chris with a tia and and 1966 01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 1: writes in not really. Tom E. Curran said definitively on 1967 01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,080 Speaker 1: his podcast that BILLYO was not coming back here to 1968 01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 1: be what he was in twenty eleven, just an offensive coordinator. 1969 01:37:57,640 --> 01:38:00,479 Speaker 1: It would require a guarantee that he would have a 1970 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 1: shot to replace Belichick, the same guarantee that Josh was 1971 01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:07,439 Speaker 1: looking for before he left Vegas. I don't know if 1972 01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:10,479 Speaker 1: either of those are true. It's it's interesting, though because 1973 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:13,640 Speaker 1: walk me through this. You guys are smarter than me, 1974 01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:18,960 Speaker 1: right sometimes about that. So Robert Craft goes to Billy 1975 01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:22,680 Speaker 1: O'Brien and he says, you will have every opportunity to 1976 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: replace Bill Belichick, even when the day comes that Bill 1977 01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:28,880 Speaker 1: hangs him up. This is a good situation. This is 1978 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 1: what you want. So Bill comes in and he's the 1979 01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:33,720 Speaker 1: offensive Billy O'Brien comes in, he's the offensive coordinator, and 1980 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:37,000 Speaker 1: he's has this in his mind like you're only hit 1981 01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:38,280 Speaker 1: for another couple or what am I going to listen 1982 01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:40,560 Speaker 1: to you? Fun? I'm gonna set these things up the 1983 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:42,679 Speaker 1: way I want him because you're gonna be gone soon. 1984 01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:47,120 Speaker 1: Owner told me that's that's something that makes sense to people. No, again, 1985 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:48,920 Speaker 1: you guys are smarter than me. Tell me how that works. 1986 01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:50,599 Speaker 1: It doesn't I mean, does it? And does that come 1987 01:38:50,640 --> 01:38:53,040 Speaker 1: from Robert like I mean like to say, negotiate that 1988 01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: kind of thing, because I mean, I guess I kind 1989 01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:57,160 Speaker 1: of feel like it would be Bill hiring coaches, right 1990 01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,519 Speaker 1: and reaching out to coaches and discussing what the setup 1991 01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:01,519 Speaker 1: would be. And you know, if anyone were to get 1992 01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:03,720 Speaker 1: one of those weird what are the like assistant head 1993 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:07,120 Speaker 1: coaches Sometimes like your random guys associate head coach on 1994 01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 1: the side, Like, what does that mean? I don't even 1995 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:11,479 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell in New Orleans before you got the Dante 1996 01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,719 Speaker 1: was just like a reliable guy who if things go south, 1997 01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,200 Speaker 1: you can, you know, have them fill in. Yeah, And 1998 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's impossible that not yet. I also, 1999 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, I heard them talking about this on the 2000 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,200 Speaker 1: radio yesterday. I think it's it's actually reasonable one of 2001 01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:31,439 Speaker 1: your shows, one of my shows. Um, if if Bill 2002 01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 1: O'Brien's gonna wait around for Bill Belichick to call him, 2003 01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:37,360 Speaker 1: he could be waiting for a long time, like Robert 2004 01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:40,840 Speaker 1: might have to make the call. Like, I just, I 2005 01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,479 Speaker 1: just I don't get the I get the reason why 2006 01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,560 Speaker 1: everybody wants Bill O'Brien here. I still am trying to 2007 01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:48,840 Speaker 1: figure out why Bill O'Brien would want to be here. 2008 01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,439 Speaker 1: That's the piece of it that I can't wrap my 2009 01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:54,960 Speaker 1: head around. Because on top of what Paul is saying, 2010 01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 1: I would also say that one of the things with 2011 01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:03,840 Speaker 1: Belichick is that he surrounds himself by people that oha 2012 01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,479 Speaker 1: gret that gratitude to him, right, like, you know, people 2013 01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:11,080 Speaker 1: that he can that he has a clear hierarchy of 2014 01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:14,920 Speaker 1: control over and everything that you hear about what happened 2015 01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:19,120 Speaker 1: in Houston was that Bill O'Brien wasn't taken anything from 2016 01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:23,040 Speaker 1: anybody down in Houston, And I just I look at 2017 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:25,720 Speaker 1: that situation and I think for Bill O'Brien and for 2018 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:30,000 Speaker 1: for Bill Belichick, that is asking for those two guys 2019 01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:32,040 Speaker 1: to butt heads, right, Like when they get into the 2020 01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,000 Speaker 1: point when they get into the draft room in April 2021 01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:38,880 Speaker 1: and and they're they're up on the in the first 2022 01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:42,120 Speaker 1: round and U and Billy O'Brien says to Bill, you 2023 01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:46,200 Speaker 1: know this Addison kid from USC wide receiver can really play, 2024 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,360 Speaker 1: Like I think this kid's going to be a great 2025 01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:52,439 Speaker 1: player in the league. And then and then Bill and 2026 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:56,439 Speaker 1: takes a nose tackle from you know, Kent State, Like 2027 01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:58,360 Speaker 1: these are the these are the types of things that 2028 01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 1: are going to I don't think Bill O'Brien's gonna take that, like, right, 2029 01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, Bill O'Brien's not that kind of guy. What 2030 01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,600 Speaker 1: did Brady used to call him teapot? Right? Yep? So 2031 01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,560 Speaker 1: he was it was accurate too, right, So that's not 2032 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:13,320 Speaker 1: gonna go over Well. There's also just an element of 2033 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,599 Speaker 1: this that, like you had Josh here for X amount 2034 01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,880 Speaker 1: of years, then billy O came, Then you got Josh back. 2035 01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:20,040 Speaker 1: Now we want to bring billy O back. It's like, 2036 01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,439 Speaker 1: at some point, can we just break the cycle and 2037 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,040 Speaker 1: start to find something new and maybe build something that 2038 01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:27,880 Speaker 1: doesn't like have to connect to somebody who was here. 2039 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,240 Speaker 1: Davan's point about what billy O wants um, is it 2040 01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,280 Speaker 1: out of the roma possibility that he gets a head 2041 01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:36,679 Speaker 1: coach offer? No, no, I saw bids. You know, Bernard 2042 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:38,960 Speaker 1: has been kind of tweeting about this. He's he thinks back. 2043 01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,200 Speaker 1: He said, like you know, he was putting out there 2044 01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 1: like you know, the Purdue job I guess just opened up. 2045 01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:45,880 Speaker 1: But you know, would he be intrigued by a head coach, 2046 01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:48,320 Speaker 1: by that kind of head coach rom which one which 2047 01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:50,960 Speaker 1: which brom coach Brown which just called him coach coach 2048 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:55,479 Speaker 1: called good job. He's got tremendous potential. He sorry upside 2049 01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:58,160 Speaker 1: he has upside um. But what if he what if 2050 01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:01,760 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers want to hire Bill ob or Arizona 2051 01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 1: or you know whatever. And I don't know, Like I 2052 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,920 Speaker 1: looked at his resume from AFAR. I think this flaws 2053 01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:12,720 Speaker 1: with everybody. Okay, but he took over what I think 2054 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:15,400 Speaker 1: is probably the worst possible situation you could ever take 2055 01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:18,200 Speaker 1: over at Penn State, and he made Christian Hackenberg look 2056 01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:23,320 Speaker 1: like a legitimate prospect, right, Yeah, no, but I mean 2057 01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:25,479 Speaker 1: it was it wasn't the fluke. He played great that 2058 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:26,920 Speaker 1: first year, and I didn't play as good in the 2059 01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 1: second year, but he looked really good. Then he goes 2060 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:34,720 Speaker 1: to Houston and look what's happened in Houston since. And 2061 01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:37,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't just because of Deshaun Watson. You could say, well, 2062 01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:39,559 Speaker 1: he had Deshaun Watson. He was great, that they went 2063 01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:41,320 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, that they won a playoff game with 2064 01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,840 Speaker 1: like t J. Yates, like they had. He built a 2065 01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:48,320 Speaker 1: good team. Now to Evans point about like the power, 2066 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:50,720 Speaker 1: I think the power was a problem. I think there 2067 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:53,519 Speaker 1: was all kinds of things going on with what's the 2068 01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:55,880 Speaker 1: guy that Rick Smith was that back then the GM. 2069 01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,360 Speaker 1: He kind of pushed him out, took over control, made 2070 01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:02,479 Speaker 1: some bad was then you know, little Finger gets in. Yeah, 2071 01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that, though, Pau because it was 2072 01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,720 Speaker 1: but a job in Houston was pretty good, I know, 2073 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:08,519 Speaker 1: and he's always been. I'm so glad you said that 2074 01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:10,519 Speaker 1: because I was just thinking that a few minutes ago 2075 01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:12,800 Speaker 1: when we were talking about him, and I'm like, there's 2076 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:15,120 Speaker 1: this impression that things were a disaster for Billing and 2077 01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:17,160 Speaker 1: what a joke he was. And I'm like, what am 2078 01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:19,800 Speaker 1: I misremembering, because it seems like he drafted a lot 2079 01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,400 Speaker 1: of you know, DeAndre Hopkins, this talented guys, JJ Watt, 2080 01:43:22,439 --> 01:43:24,360 Speaker 1: talented guys. They were always kind of in the playoffs. 2081 01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:26,160 Speaker 1: They were in the playoffs. They were never a threat 2082 01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:27,679 Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl, but they were always 2083 01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:31,439 Speaker 1: a threat to beat you. Always. They were a little like, 2084 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, they were a high to me, a higher 2085 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,240 Speaker 1: end version of what Tennessee has been the last few years. Yeah, Like, 2086 01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:39,600 Speaker 1: I think they've been very dangerous, but probably not a 2087 01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:43,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl team like Arian Foster. Yeah, I think he 2088 01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:47,559 Speaker 1: was a good coach now and my biased absolutely really 2089 01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,960 Speaker 1: liked the guy. Had a lot of good conversations with him, 2090 01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:52,560 Speaker 1: loved running into him at the combined the year that 2091 01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:54,200 Speaker 1: he made fun of me and Andy for finding ways 2092 01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:56,360 Speaker 1: to be negative was one of my favorite moments ever. 2093 01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,200 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, my my wife, every my whole 2094 01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 1: family is still back doing that. I see these things 2095 01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:04,360 Speaker 1: of you, like, I don't know how you do it. Man, 2096 01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:06,679 Speaker 1: we win to Super Bowl every year, and you find 2097 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:09,439 Speaker 1: a way. And I said to him, I explained to 2098 01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:11,800 Speaker 1: my goal, you have to understand where it starts from. 2099 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:16,040 Speaker 1: These are all issues quote unquote that may or may 2100 01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:19,240 Speaker 1: not allow us to host the AFC Championship games, right Like, 2101 01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,960 Speaker 1: That's where I'm coming at with my criticism. Not like 2102 01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:23,760 Speaker 1: these guys don't know what they're doing. I don't know 2103 01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:25,920 Speaker 1: how they're even gonna win a game. It's how are 2104 01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:27,760 Speaker 1: we going to host the AFC Championship games so we 2105 01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:30,200 Speaker 1: can win another Super Bowl? And he's like, I guess 2106 01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:32,880 Speaker 1: I could see that. I'm checking out now, coordinated the 2107 01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,760 Speaker 1: but he he has rabbit ears. Oh he has rabbit ears, 2108 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 1: absolutely and in a temper right Like, it seems like 2109 01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:44,240 Speaker 1: that's a tough combination. That argument walking with with Brady 2110 01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:50,320 Speaker 1: on the sideline in Washington was legend. Yeah, that's the 2111 01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:54,000 Speaker 1: high top fade Shutter is in Manchester, UK. Whoever you 2112 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,320 Speaker 1: think is the best OC and DC the Patriots have 2113 01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:00,120 Speaker 1: had over the last twenty two years. Cornell, Josh, if 2114 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 1: you plug them into with this roster, how different do 2115 01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:08,439 Speaker 1: you think the record would be? It's impossible? Yeah, Like 2116 01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:11,280 Speaker 1: that's impossible. I don't know the best Well, all I 2117 01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,120 Speaker 1: know is that last year they were ten and seven 2118 01:45:13,160 --> 01:45:15,360 Speaker 1: in the top ten offense with Josh McDaniels as the 2119 01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:18,000 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators. I know if you count Josh as the 2120 01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:19,400 Speaker 1: best one, I don't know if you want to give 2121 01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,800 Speaker 1: that to Charlie Weiss or Bill O'Brien, But I know 2122 01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:25,840 Speaker 1: what the product was last year with the better offensive coordinator. Yeah, 2123 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,400 Speaker 1: and I would definitely say Romeo Cornell, But I just like, 2124 01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:31,360 Speaker 1: how do you know what the impact would be on 2125 01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:33,920 Speaker 1: the same player as playing with a different coordinator? Right? 2126 01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:35,880 Speaker 1: I wrote it at the beginning of the season that 2127 01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,240 Speaker 1: Bill is the reason I had hoped this team would 2128 01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but his roster and coaching structure is 2129 01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:43,799 Speaker 1: why I feared this team would be failing. This coaching 2130 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:47,240 Speaker 1: structure has failed. The sooner it's fixed, the better, But 2131 01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,240 Speaker 1: it has to be done with the right pieces, not 2132 01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:52,760 Speaker 1: just the available pencil twiddlers. I have similar fears for 2133 01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:55,559 Speaker 1: the short and long term future of this roster. There 2134 01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:59,880 Speaker 1: is the odd bright spark, but little backbone. Yeah. I 2135 01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,759 Speaker 1: just I think for the optics of it all, depending 2136 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:05,879 Speaker 1: on how the season ends, I'm not expecting any dramatic 2137 01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:07,760 Speaker 1: change in like what they do in these last five 2138 01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,240 Speaker 1: games to redefine what we think about the team overall. 2139 01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:12,920 Speaker 1: But I just think they for the optics of it. 2140 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:15,200 Speaker 1: You have to do something on offense because people are 2141 01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,559 Speaker 1: going to have the pitchforks out and interest is going 2142 01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:20,120 Speaker 1: to be waning, and a way to get people back 2143 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,519 Speaker 1: in is to invest in the offense and bring it, 2144 01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:25,559 Speaker 1: bring an established kind of guy in that we can, 2145 01:46:25,920 --> 01:46:28,479 Speaker 1: you know, maybe Trumpet a little bit. It's hard for 2146 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:31,320 Speaker 1: me to see them bringing back Mattie p and it 2147 01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:34,200 Speaker 1: going well in any in any sense of the word. 2148 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,639 Speaker 1: Jack and and arbaces John Jeff Braun took the head 2149 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:42,280 Speaker 1: coaching job at Louisvilleville. Did I say Jeff first? Brian? 2150 01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,639 Speaker 1: Probably Jeff. I don't know that that makes more sense 2151 01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:48,519 Speaker 1: because I wouldn't. I thought he did a decent job 2152 01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:51,439 Speaker 1: at Purdue. They're not overly talented Purdue, and they find 2153 01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:54,599 Speaker 1: a way to win seven eight games every year. Williams 2154 01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:58,040 Speaker 1: and Philam, what's up, Willie? That's going on? Spring? How 2155 01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:01,800 Speaker 1: are you doing good? Okay? Um? Oh yeah, I heard 2156 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,519 Speaker 1: you're a little smart. Common yesterday, Fred and Mike Sometimes 2157 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:06,920 Speaker 1: the old the cops Uh, hope, thank the cops getting 2158 01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:12,040 Speaker 1: after the Will.

My question is, um, 2165 01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:40,799 Speaker 1: I guess y'all were touching on the receivers and whatnot. 2166 01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:44,400 Speaker 1: I mean, how many times have you seen Bill at 2167 01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:48,240 Speaker 1: the podium talking about Justin Jefferson. Oh he's a problem, Uh, 2168 01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:52,120 Speaker 1: DeAndre Howkins, Stefan Diggs, they all problems and whatnot. I mean, 2169 01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,080 Speaker 1: these are all receivers you could have had. I'm at 2170 01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:57,320 Speaker 1: least one of them, you know, one out of the 2171 01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,439 Speaker 1: group of basics. But you didn't. You didn't you didn't 2172 01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:03,360 Speaker 1: want to go get You just refuse to get them 2173 01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:06,080 Speaker 1: for whatever stubborn reason. And the thing about it is, 2174 01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:07,840 Speaker 1: it's not your money. At the end of the day, 2175 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,320 Speaker 1: that kept my angel. So what you're worried about, it's 2176 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,120 Speaker 1: about cap all. Go get the go, get the go, 2177 01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:15,679 Speaker 1: Get the talent yet so we could see what Mett 2178 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:17,040 Speaker 1: can do. You know what I mean, if it has 2179 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:19,640 Speaker 1: to be perfect, so be it, make it perfect in 2180 01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:22,560 Speaker 1: it's almost like he doesn't want to deal with that 2181 01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:26,439 Speaker 1: strong personality in the locker room, you know that that 2182 01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:29,639 Speaker 1: the diva, the guy that you know just won't listen 2183 01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:32,519 Speaker 1: to me. You know. I think it's cap allocation, though, 2184 01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:34,240 Speaker 1: I think I think it really is. I think that 2185 01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,400 Speaker 1: they don't want to have one guy that's taken up 2186 01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:40,080 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars of the cap. They'd rather have three 2187 01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,640 Speaker 1: guys that take up thirty million dollars of the cape. 2188 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:47,200 Speaker 1: That's that's just their mindset on it. Okay, but look 2189 01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:49,160 Speaker 1: at Okay, I'm still but look at look at thirty 2190 01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:51,840 Speaker 1: million does before you don't Oh, I'm not disagreeing with 2191 01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,200 Speaker 1: you at all. I think I think everyone's just trying 2192 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:57,960 Speaker 1: to give you what he thinks. Bill's philosophy. They would 2193 01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:01,400 Speaker 1: they want to in their mind, they've always thought of it. 2194 01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:05,800 Speaker 1: Roster building is building one through fifty three, right, Like, 2195 01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,439 Speaker 1: it's not just building the top ten, right. And I 2196 01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,560 Speaker 1: think you hear a lot of the time, oh like 2197 01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't mad and this isn't fantasy football 2198 01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:17,080 Speaker 1: or whatever, because because they don't want to build a 2199 01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:19,439 Speaker 1: roster that is top heavy, they want to build a 2200 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:23,639 Speaker 1: depth roster with good depth and stuff like that. Over 2201 01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:27,920 Speaker 1: the years, you know, uh, they've had more players on 2202 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:30,640 Speaker 1: their roster making more than a million dollars and like 2203 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,840 Speaker 1: any other team in the league, because they really the 2204 01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:37,479 Speaker 1: middle of the pack, right, They're they're like middle depth. 2205 01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:41,160 Speaker 1: They take that really seriously. They want to have good, solid, 2206 01:49:41,439 --> 01:49:43,880 Speaker 1: strong middle class middle class. Thank you. That's what I'm 2207 01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:47,600 Speaker 1: looking for. Okay, one more thing and that's it, and 2208 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:49,559 Speaker 1: I have to I got to be very honest, all 2209 01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:52,599 Speaker 1: just a side. And I'm gonna say this for the record, 2210 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:57,519 Speaker 1: If if if the Patriots look like this next season, 2211 01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:01,560 Speaker 1: if Matt Patricia's dear if draft looks horrible in that 2212 01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:04,080 Speaker 1: off season, I mean for you to scy looks just grazy. 2213 01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:06,320 Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm sorry. I'm in a Patriots fan for 2214 01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:09,040 Speaker 1: a long time. I love y'all to death. I'm gonna 2215 01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:13,120 Speaker 1: continue listen to y'all stuff, but I can't. I can't 2216 01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:20,400 Speaker 1: many where you gonna gona. You could take the Eagles, 2217 01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:26,920 Speaker 1: You're in Philly. I like the point though, I thought 2218 01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,439 Speaker 1: the same thing yesterday. I just saw the quote about Hopkins, 2219 01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, and it's just as good as any player, 2220 01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,439 Speaker 1: and I thought the same thing he thought. I'm like, man, 2221 01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:35,120 Speaker 1: you get up there and you're hear him praising these guys, 2222 01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:36,800 Speaker 1: and like, when don't you like to coach some of them? Like, 2223 01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:38,439 Speaker 1: I mean, what was it like when you had Randy Moss? 2224 01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,200 Speaker 1: Wasn't that was not pretty fun? Like I can't imagine 2225 01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:42,960 Speaker 1: it's not appealing to him on some level. And I 2226 01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:46,280 Speaker 1: thought he's been a He probably thinks though that, Okay, Yeah, 2227 01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:48,479 Speaker 1: we had Randy Moss and we had to spend a 2228 01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:52,160 Speaker 1: lot of time keeping him in line, and that's just that. 2229 01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:55,080 Speaker 1: That excuse, though, is that's an excuse. I know, but 2230 01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. That's just I do think it 2231 01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,320 Speaker 1: took a lot of time, and I think it was 2232 01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:02,200 Speaker 1: worth it. Yeah, Yeah, it was it worth it for 2233 01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:07,639 Speaker 1: at least a year. Yeah. James Pettigrew, the most interesting 2234 01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:09,920 Speaker 1: Patriots fan of the World, writes in whenever I see 2235 01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:12,920 Speaker 1: Marcus Jones make a play on offense or special teams, 2236 01:51:13,240 --> 01:51:16,160 Speaker 1: I can't help thinking, Man, the third and fifth round 2237 01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:18,120 Speaker 1: picks we're gonna get for trading him are gonna turn 2238 01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:22,880 Speaker 1: into really sucky players down the line. Ouch. Yeah, I 2239 01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,400 Speaker 1: actually don't think that, to be honest, I think he's 2240 01:51:25,439 --> 01:51:27,080 Speaker 1: gonna be here for the long run. I think I'll 2241 01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:28,840 Speaker 1: be here for a little while. Yeah, what did I miss? 2242 01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:32,400 Speaker 1: I asked? I asked Bill about him today, and you know, 2243 01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:34,800 Speaker 1: just about how do you kind of divvy up his 2244 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:38,280 Speaker 1: snaps right between offense, defense and special teams? And uh, 2245 01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:40,479 Speaker 1: you know, how do you kind of go about doing that? 2246 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:44,800 Speaker 1: And he mentioned Troy Brown Julian Edelman. I think they 2247 01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:48,799 Speaker 1: view Marcus at least so far. We'll see if it sticks, 2248 01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,160 Speaker 1: but at least so far, I think they view him 2249 01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 1: in that, in that mold of you know, somebody that 2250 01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:57,080 Speaker 1: can really contribute in all three phases, and I for 2251 01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,519 Speaker 1: that reason, he will stay here, right, and he'll never 2252 01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:04,920 Speaker 1: have value at one thing. Look at my big brain, however, 2253 01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:08,400 Speaker 1: necessarily write with Fred's point, I think his value might 2254 01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:11,240 Speaker 1: never be centralized. And also I think that those are 2255 01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 1: the types of guys that they see value in paying 2256 01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:15,880 Speaker 1: because they look at it and say, this guy contributes 2257 01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:25,160 Speaker 1: and every possible same thing. You're a sneaky bad guy. Uh. 2258 01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:29,120 Speaker 1: David and Beth David and Beth to a Bantican to 2259 01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:40,000 Speaker 1: Uh David and Bethleheim. Uh, for you stats guys, for 2260 01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:43,080 Speaker 1: you stats guys. How much time has Mac actually had? 2261 01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:45,840 Speaker 1: How does that time compare to other teams? How do 2262 01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:48,960 Speaker 1: his pressure stats compare to other teams? Please rate the 2263 01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,479 Speaker 1: old line, show you work, no peaking, awesome, This is 2264 01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna be great, Chevin, what do you got? What do 2265 01:52:56,439 --> 01:53:00,280 Speaker 1: you got? All right? So pressure stats are skewed on 2266 01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:04,000 Speaker 1: this because it all depends on how you know quarterback 2267 01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:06,240 Speaker 1: and control pressure stats to a degree too, right, like 2268 01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,080 Speaker 1: quick release, So if you get the ball out, you know, 2269 01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:11,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady gets the ball out and two point two seconds, 2270 01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:14,920 Speaker 1: so his pressure rate is not very good. But then 2271 01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,680 Speaker 1: if you look at their offensive line has actually not 2272 01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:20,519 Speaker 1: been very good this year, just on a per play, 2273 01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:23,759 Speaker 1: you know, per player basis. So is that the quarterback 2274 01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:25,400 Speaker 1: is at the offensive line. So I have a tough 2275 01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:28,320 Speaker 1: time with pressure stats. But I think overall, when you 2276 01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:32,840 Speaker 1: look at this offensive line, they have really struggled, in 2277 01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:37,160 Speaker 1: particular at the tackle position. Trent Brown is for whatever reason, 2278 01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:39,519 Speaker 1: not playing the same level that I think we all 2279 01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:42,519 Speaker 1: think he's capable of playing. He's much better player last year, 2280 01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:45,000 Speaker 1: even for them than he has been this year. And 2281 01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,479 Speaker 1: then obviously right tackle has just been a revolving door 2282 01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:50,320 Speaker 1: of nothing. So that has really been to me the 2283 01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:55,360 Speaker 1: biggest issue. If they could keep you know, Andrews Strange 2284 01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,200 Speaker 1: and on Windy on the interior, which has been the 2285 01:53:57,280 --> 01:53:59,320 Speaker 1: majority of their snaps as and offense has been with 2286 01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:02,000 Speaker 1: those three guys. Not terrible on the interior, it's not 2287 01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:08,680 Speaker 1: terrible where he's about middle of the pack right now 2288 01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:10,840 Speaker 1: in time to throw, which I think is a really 2289 01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:14,639 Speaker 1: important indicator of overall pressure. Um so his pressure numbers 2290 01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:19,320 Speaker 1: are not terrible, but that's again indicative more so, I 2291 01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:22,240 Speaker 1: would say, and the fact that he does get the 2292 01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:26,000 Speaker 1: ball out quickly and screen past his quick game like 2293 01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:27,920 Speaker 1: that type of stuff is a part of their offense. 2294 01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,439 Speaker 1: So some of that is skewed now in terms of 2295 01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:34,360 Speaker 1: like what PF calls pass blocking efficiency, which just studies 2296 01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,120 Speaker 1: sacks and pressures allowed by the offensive line, they're they're 2297 01:54:38,200 --> 01:54:40,960 Speaker 1: lower in that category, so they're near the bottom of 2298 01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:43,440 Speaker 1: the league in that category. And then the money quote, 2299 01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:48,680 Speaker 1: how does Mack perform win under pressure? Terrible? So that's 2300 01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:51,600 Speaker 1: that's the telling one. That's the biggest thing I think 2301 01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:55,160 Speaker 1: that stands out about this team Statistically, when I look 2302 01:54:55,200 --> 01:55:00,360 Speaker 1: at their offense right now, Mac Jones per PF is 2303 01:55:00,760 --> 01:55:05,920 Speaker 1: fiftieth fiftieth in passing grade while under pressure, fifty out 2304 01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:10,040 Speaker 1: of fifty one quarter there's thirty two teams. The only 2305 01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:13,640 Speaker 1: quarterback that has graded out worse under pressure happens to 2306 01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 1: play for the New York Jets, Zach Zach Wilson. He 2307 01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:22,080 Speaker 1: is forty fifth in passer rating while under pressure, and 2308 01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:25,760 Speaker 1: his passer rating is so bad. I love this one. 2309 01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:28,880 Speaker 1: His passer rating is so bad that if he just 2310 01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:32,640 Speaker 1: spiked the ball into the ground every time he faced pressure, 2311 01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:36,200 Speaker 1: it would be fire. Then what did occurred to nine 2312 01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:44,120 Speaker 1: point six? Right? His completion rate while under pressure forty 2313 01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:48,200 Speaker 1: three point eight. So this is the type of things 2314 01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:51,120 Speaker 1: that you see with Mac. And when he's kept clean 2315 01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:53,240 Speaker 1: and the players talk about all the time and he's 2316 01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:55,600 Speaker 1: kept cleaning, great quarterback, he can get us the ball. 2317 01:55:55,960 --> 01:56:01,400 Speaker 1: You know my argument, quarterbacks, everyone everybody else, right, So 2318 01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:05,840 Speaker 1: that's that's been the big statistical thing, and especially when 2319 01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:08,400 Speaker 1: you look at his pressure stats last year to this year, 2320 01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:12,800 Speaker 1: it's quite a precipitous drop off in that respect. All right, 2321 01:56:13,080 --> 01:56:16,440 Speaker 1: listen to me, Okay, all right, Bridgetone is the official 2322 01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,160 Speaker 1: tire of the New England Patriots, and Bridgestone tires are 2323 01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:23,480 Speaker 1: now on sale through December tenth, So by my calculation, 2324 01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:28,320 Speaker 1: you've got three more days and they're on sale and 2325 01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:32,560 Speaker 1: through December tenth at Sullivan Tire locations.
