Speaker 1: Patriot's Unfiltered. Dude, you missed a lot on the day

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: that you ducked me. I was afraid to put his mic.

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: I'll do radio Ye sky Moore, which is another guy,

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: you know, just quick, versatile guy that can move, and

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: you were ducking. I talked to all the hut I know, well,

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: I was scared of you, Paul, and I needed to,

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, just have the dead dad. Like I said,

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: I really like just watching the kids in that. Anything

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: to get away from Paul, right, that's what I like.

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: He ducked more and more Faull and Eric ideology front

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: and we took a bit of a shot last year.

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: But I sh'll see in this two hundred page racking

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Duscian kil Trees, Save Animals, Kilt Trees. The next show,

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: he's going to have a lot of printed material. Here

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: is a different dude when Paul is not in Pound.

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: No question, there's so much dead air. You gotta talk

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: like sit here, it's just shot at me. I actually

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: shot at me for talking all the time. So I

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: think Bolin, you know, saying he's very excited, you know,

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: to be that is it? Cream cheese, cream cheese. This

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: is Patriot's Unfiltered, fueled by Duncan. All Right, welcome the

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: Patriots Unfiltered. It is Tuesday here at Gillette Stadium, and

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited. I'm excited these owners. Mean, he's got

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: me going. You know, Bill's talking talk for half an hour.

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Then the owner talked this morning. We'll have that in

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: full on Patriots dot com. You know, I'm you know, well,

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: we're getting ready, We're getting closer. I got excited with

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers joined practice thing, just like it's coming at

31
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: about that real football up here. That stuff that that excited.

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: That's here. Yeah, Panthers are coming uh for UH joint

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: practice this training camp. I guess um Matt Rule had

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: said that it just needed to be approved. Yeah, no

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: league approval, but I mean that sounds to me like

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: a formality. Dudu has an updates. Matt Rule gonna wear

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: the outfit he wore for his UH head coach. You

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: saw that meme too with him. They killed. One of

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: these guys won the Super Bowl. The other one is

40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Funny. It's like you wonder why Bill Belichick

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: skips these things every year because it just becomes like

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: my buddy Brandt is doing a full breakdown of everybody's outfit.

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: It's like that has nothing to do with why Bill Belichick.

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: By my count, four coaches skipped it. I think I

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: counted twenty eight in the picture. I think you're right,

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: Freddy and you Reid, I didn't. I don't think I

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: didn't see Andy Reid. You would have noticed him. I

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: thought I did see him. I know, I don't think

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: he was in it. Hard to miss my thing the back. Yeah.

50
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, so much to talk about, and U I

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: guess we start with Bill Belichick and Robert crafts um

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: press appearances yesterday and today. Um, you know, Bill was

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: his usual I'm looking forward, you know, not talk about

54
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: how things ended last year, although Mike Reese, uh he tried,

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: he tried. You know, Bill at that time said you know,

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: we'll see if it's a one time thing or and

57
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: Reese said, you know now that you've had more time,

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: which was it, And He's like, we're looking forward to

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. So that was that, And I think

60
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, the people that were there, Ben voland Mike Reees,

61
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Tom Curran most notably for me, you know, try to

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: you know, delve into you know, the philosophy for this offseason,

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, about not being as aggressive in free agency,

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: not giving titles to coaches, you know, losing certain coaches,

65
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: how that affects Mac Jones, all the things that we've

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: been talking about and that fans are concerned about. But

67
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Bill didn't seem that concerned about it. And that made

68
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: me feel good. That made me feel good, like, you know,

69
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: he's okay. If he's okay, I'm okay. I just I'll

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: leave you guys to talk about the details. Yes, Paul,

71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: can I ask? Can I ask at a side? Yeah?

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Does this now mean that they're back in the hunt? No?

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Oh okay, No, I just wanted again. No, but see,

74
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: I need to see. That means I have a challenge again.

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: I have to do that now. I need to see

76
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: more evidence if I'm going to change my posture, I

77
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: need to see more. But at least you know Bill's okay,

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: and he's he's swat and flies like he usually does,

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: and that's okay. I I cracked me up his reaction.

80
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm sure Paul tell us it was played.

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: But when they asked him about Malcolm Butler and we're

82
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, how how things ended, and he's

83
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: like just the genuine I don't know if he's acting,

84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: but the genuine look of confusion of like, what like,

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: it's just funny about the super Bowl Malcolm, butl you know, Malcolm,

86
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: He's like, what, I don't not to the past, like

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: it was just one of those funny moments where his

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: example of and as you said, Fred, they it's just like,

89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't call it the airing of grievances, but it's

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: like every single storyline that we've talked about that is

91
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: driving the offseason, they put it on his plate and

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't know, you know, and it's not

93
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: like cons my favorite answer, I don't know. Yeah, you know,

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: but he has his plan, his way of doing things,

95
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: and you know, and and as Robert said today, it

96
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: might be a little bit outside of what we're used to,

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: but I think he's he's earned it and there and

98
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: he's going for it that way this offseason. And yeah,

99
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: and I think other which is one more thing and

100
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: feed into the craft, was just that the draft the draft,

101
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: the draft, like it's that's what I've been saying for

102
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: all these shows off season, and I and that's where

103
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: I think that the team is going to get well.

104
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: That and that's that kind of dovetails into what the

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: owner said today. The owner basically was, I am a

106
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 1: fan just like you. I just happen to own the team,

107
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, so, you know, expressing concern about not having

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: won a playoff game in three years. You know, he's

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: that bothers him um, saying that you know, you're in

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: order to have long term success, you have to you

111
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: have to do well in the draft. And he wasn't

112
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: happy with was happy with last year's draft, but not

113
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: the four previous, which I think everyone shares that. So

114
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: I think he expressed what fans are concerned with. He

115
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: just happens to be the owner of the New England Patriots,

116
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: and so, you know, fans take that as okay, you

117
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: must have expressed those concerns to your head coach, I

118
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: assume you know, which I'm sure he did. But at

119
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: the same time, like you said, Duce, he understands that

120
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: Bill has his own way of doing things, and it's

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: kind of worked out, you know, yep, yep, Yeah. I

122
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: think what what Robert was talking about with that, I

123
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: sort of step back, and he has his own way.

124
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: Was the coaching staff. I don't think he was necessarily

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: well about maybe he was team building or any of

126
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: that other stuff. Specifically the I think that was a

127
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: question about, you know, the structure of Yeah, that's probably

128
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Joe Judge and Matt Patricia. And he said, you know, listen,

129
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: he has his way of doing things. And I think,

130
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: you know, I'm paraphrasing sometimes even I don't see the

131
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: line was the way you said it, but you know,

132
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm more of results oriented. I think, yeah, it's a

133
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: results business. Well, so I took that as yeah, I

134
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: think it's strange too. I'll be watching right your one

135
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: on one of your shows this morning, Chris Curtis is

136
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: that his name, That's not one of my shows, MC curtis.

137
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: He's he said, you know, after Kraft had talked, he said,

138
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft was an outraged at um, you know, not

139
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: having one a playoff game in three years. He's outraged.

140
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: I never heard him say outraged. And he said that

141
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots got rid of Josh McDaniels. No, Josh McDaniels

142
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: left for a head coach. They didn't get rid of them,

143
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, It's like these type of things, like and

144
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: then people hear that, it's like yeah, right, you know,

145
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: three months from now, and of course Bill got rid

146
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: of McDaniels. It just becomes accepted, like I'd accepted talking point.

147
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: I really think people take their cues from a producer

148
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: of a morning show that no one watches. I've been serious,

149
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: even you could make an argument, even if it was

150
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: like Greg Hill, would you main Wiggins said that Robert

151
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: Kraft was outraged. No disrespect to Chris Curtis, he's the

152
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: producer of the show. But but what made me think

153
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: of that, Paul is I said what I said, and

154
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: you said, put it in context, which is what you

155
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: do responsibly, you know, like, let's let's be accurate about

156
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: what these people say instead of like inserting your own word.

157
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, Well, the outrage thing changes to outrage right,

158
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: like that's you know, and I heard him say it, like,

159
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't think there was outrage in his voice, And

160
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he's disappointed they haven't won a playoffs

161
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: like we all are. And I'm sure also that was

162
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: what he prefaced when when he said that, that was

163
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: the part that he prefaced by saying, I'm a fan

164
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: right first and foremost at heart, I'm a fan again paraphrasing,

165
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: but that's what he led into that, and I'm disappointed

166
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: that we haven't won a playoff game in three years, right,

167
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: like you said, just the way everybody else in Patriots

168
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: Nation is putting my fan hat on you. I think

169
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: you'd like to hear that. You like to hear the owner,

170
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, kind of saying that that I'm a fan first.

171
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: But I think, as you said, Fred, there was also

172
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: some nice reminders in there that he is the owner

173
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: and that the buck does stop with him, and that

174
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, it hasn't been the results that everybody wants there,

175
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: certainly with some good stuff that happened last year, but

176
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: you got to build on it. It's got to start

177
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: getting better. The one thing that he said that I

178
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: think we can debate honestly, is you know the only

179
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: way to have the consistent success over time is through

180
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, you can debate that. You can

181
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: debate that. He said that before, like through the twenty years,

182
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: even with Pete Carroll, I remember them saying that and

183
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people said, yeah, that's an excuse for

184
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: not spending money, you know. So see, I don't look

185
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: at it that way either, but some people, some people

186
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: the organization there too, because I do think I mean

187
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: the draft, I don't think it's it's splitting any atoms here.

188
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean you have to you have a way to

189
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: get young talent onto your roster right every year, affordable,

190
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter what, every year you will

191
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: have draft picks. And I think you know, the draft

192
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: isn't is a very important part of your team building

193
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: every year. Is it the only way to do it? No,

194
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: it's not, but it's probably the best way to do

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: it on a consistent basis. It's probably the you know

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: you can you can throw teams that have have done

197
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: it different ways like the Rams, And you're right. You

198
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: know what else, The Rams have done really well in

199
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the last five years draft, just not at the top

200
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: because they haven't had any first round picks, but if

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: they have a litany of mid round guys, not the

202
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: least of which is Cooper cop yep. Right. But but

203
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: what really got the Rams over the top Matthew Matthew

204
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: Stafford getting that quarterback, getting that quarterback, and if you

205
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: want to sustain success in the NFL, get yourself a

206
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: good quarterback. But that's the key. But I think people

207
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: that would argue the other side of that would say, yeah,

208
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: they got the quarterback. They didn't draft anybody, they got

209
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and that's the way that they got success.

210
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: And they've been successful for five years. So it's not

211
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: like this is they loaded up one year and they

212
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: won it all. They went to the super Bowl in

213
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen without Stafford. Yeah, you know, doing the same

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: thing like with you know, the keep to Leeds and

215
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: the you know, then they recycle that over to Jalen

216
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Ramsey and all the other trades that they've made over

217
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: the years. So there are different ways to do it.

218
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: But but I would agree with Robert that if you

219
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: want to consistently be able to turn your roster over

220
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and get you have to have some success in the draft. Yeah.

221
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the RAMS approach stands out a

222
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think, as you laid out, Paul,

223
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: is it really that much different because they have a

224
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: core of guys that they drafted, and they went to

225
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: free agency in trades and and maybe they spent a

226
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: little bit more draft capital to get talented players, to

227
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: spend first round pick used the draft picks on established talent,

228
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: but which is fine, but not a big core of

229
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: drafted guys and filling holes with free agents. And I

230
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: mean I think that's guys though as more guys they acquired,

231
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's no action. Aaron Donald Cooper cut big

232
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: part of the team. But I agree with your your

233
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: your premise. I'm not gonna get hung up on semantics.

234
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: I agree with your your premise. Like you can't just

235
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: do one thing, is my point. So to just say,

236
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: like the only way you could do is through the draft,

237
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 1: to me is wrong. Just like if you characterize the

238
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: RAM success is just doing it by acquiring high priced players,

239
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: that's also wrong. What I'm saying is, whether it's the

240
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,359
Speaker 1: draft or free agency, if you don't have a good quarterback,

241
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: neither work. Sure, and they gotta have the quarterback. Look

242
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: at all the teams with sustained success, and we can

243
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: define that any way you want, you know, five years,

244
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: ten years, whatever, every one of those teams had a quarterback.

245
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis with Manning right, Kansas City now with Mahomes, Pittsburgh

246
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: with Roethlis Green Bay with Rogers. Absolutely, all these teams

247
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: win every year, their playoff contenders every year. Yeah, I agree,

248
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: and I think the quarterback is at the top and

249
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: alan by itself. But I think what you're seeing with

250
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots over the last few years is kind of

251
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: that most let's say most terrible, the worst place to be,

252
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: which is that you lose your core. I think that's

253
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: the that's the fatal flaw for teams in the NFL

254
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: is if you don't draft well and you don't have

255
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: at least some kind of core of guys that you're

256
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: paying on rookie salaries that are contributing and being players.

257
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: I think when you get into that mode, you can't

258
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: fix a whole team in free agency. It's just financially impossible.

259
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, football has to be a bottom line of

260
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: guys that you've drafted that are successful. And I think

261
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: that is as we've talked about, the biggest reason why.

262
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean they've kind of talk about games. Games in

263
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: the NFL normally come down to like five or six

264
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: plays a game, you know, and a guy can blow

265
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: up a play who isn't the quarterback or who isn't

266
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: your star receiver by missing a block or doing something stupid,

267
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, bad penalty, you know, because there's twenty two

268
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: guys out on the field at any one time, you know.

269
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: So that's what makes football so great, you know. Yeah,

270
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and how many times are the Patriots were

271
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: the difference in the Super Bowls that they won or

272
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: lost just you know, a single big play in a

273
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: big moment. You know, a play by Dante hie Tower,

274
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: you know that was made of a fourth down stop

275
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: against the Eagles that didn't happen. You know, those those moments.

276
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you could probably gather up ten moments that

277
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: were the difference in all the Patriots Super Bowl titles,

278
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: just based on who made a play in the biggest moments. Yeah. Yeah,

279
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: So speaking of plays of the biggest moments, Malcolm Butler's back.

280
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: So we had a little shout out on Patriots social

281
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: I saw with he's looking good. Now. The question is,

282
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, health wise and mental wise, how is he? Yeah,

283
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a big question of And

284
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't expect him to open up about

285
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: what happened, perhaps, but I'm not expecting he will tell

286
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: us what happened. But I'm curious what he's got. I mean,

287
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: going back and looking at twenty twenty, I think he

288
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: still had some football in the tank. But I think

289
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: just given what we've talked about plenty with man press

290
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: corners and abilities to get those guys, it's so hard.

291
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: And he might be thirty two and and a year

292
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: off of football, but you're not going to get a

293
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: guy with that skill set. Can he still do it?

294
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: I think I think he probably can just bite. Well,

295
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: what is it? Play play at at at a solid

296
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: I think he's still starting caliber cornerback in the NFL,

297
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: And I agree with Mike. I don't see any reason

298
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: to you know, based on the last sample that we saw,

299
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: I thought he was really solid in Tennessee. I know

300
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: every time someone leaves New England they fall apart. I

301
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: thought he was really solid in Tennessee. Um. My only concern,

302
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: and it's a major one, I'll admit, is what Fred said,

303
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: like you know, where his head's at, Like, I you know,

304
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: forgive me for being concerned when guys just up and

305
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: decide to step away from the game. Yeah, you know,

306
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: whether it was a personal issue off the field, like

307
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: he very much wanted to continue playing but felt he couldn't.

308
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea why he stepped away. I don't

309
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: know the story. If that's out there, I missed it.

310
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I have not, But I worry about guys like that.

311
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: And then what happens when he gets to trade in

312
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: camp this year? And let's just say, for argument's sake,

313
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: you know how I always love to paint these sort

314
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: of like doomsday scenarios. Well, let's let's okay, so hey,

315
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: you know what OTAs Hey, Malcolm looks great, hasn't lost

316
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: a step, hasn't missed a beat, knows the system, very

317
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: comfortable here, knows how Belichick wants things done. He looks great.

318
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: Let's pencil him in at left corner. And then all

319
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden you get to August fifteenth and Malcolm

320
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Butler decides, my heart's not in it. Yeah, it's possible.

321
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: That's a concern because they don't have a lot, you know,

322
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: they might be now relying on him, And everybody just

323
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: looks at the contract, which is more than affordable. You know,

324
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: it's like nine million, two year, nine million total something

325
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: like that, with some incentives and whatnot, but a very

326
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: affordable contract for a starting caliber corner. Until he doesn't

327
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: play all of a sudden, you're you're you're without a

328
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: starting corner. Yeah, that's that's the and that's why, Like

329
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: whether or not he starts this year, I still think

330
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: you need to draft a corner back. Yeah, you know,

331
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: I would say that that's high on my list. Still,

332
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: absolutely they need youth at that position because the youth

333
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: that they've gotten in recent drafts hasn't panned out. Well,

334
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: it's just the numbers game. And you know, I know

335
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: Jabil Peppers visited yesterday, but I mean I think he's

336
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: a player that fits. But why and he's more of

337
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: a safety too, Yeah, I wonder if they want him

338
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: as a returner. Like I just saw that the stuff

339
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: that they would kick in the tires on him, and

340
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: he was here and I haven't heard anything since, Like

341
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: he hasn't gone anywhere else, So I think there's got

342
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: to be interest there. I was saying deduced, like why

343
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: don't they like my guy Kyle Dugger as a return

344
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we got the We're gonna have

345
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: like the biggest stable of safeties in the league. Oh yeah,

346
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of decent ones. I mean not

347
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: like just guys And it's almost like you didn't know. Well,

348
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: it's almost like sometimes you wonder if they're just finding

349
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: guys that they like and and sometimes you you think

350
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't appear like they have a plan that they're

351
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: building towards. They're just kind of he fits, he fits

352
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: whole crap. We've got seventeen strong safety. You know what

353
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: generally happens when whenever we talk like this is you know,

354
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do with all those safeties? Two

355
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: of them will get hurt, right, and everybody will be

356
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: like Bills A, yeah, we're usually talking about running backs

357
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: in that conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we'll see. I

358
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: don't know, but Josh Bledsoe you mentioned you know another guy,

359
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: and that's just what you know. And I'm all for

360
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: if there's a plan, if there's some kind of shift

361
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: on defense, that hey, maybe we can try to force

362
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: the Bills to punt somehow, like this is the key,

363
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: you know. So I do wonder if you know, if

364
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: they were to bring him in, how much it relates

365
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: to the linebacker position, and you know, how how much

366
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: they're staying and you know, I wonder if there's a

367
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: world where there's there's Jawan Bentley who's a big traditional

368
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. And then there's safeties, and I mean, you know,

369
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: and Pepper's he did play, you know, linebacker in college.

370
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: He's played all over the place. He's a person guy.

371
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: So you get it on like on that side of it,

372
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: like the player, you get it too. But as when

373
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: you throw him into the depth chart and you throw

374
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: him into the defense and you say, I don't have

375
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: a lot of corners right now, though I mean we

376
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: got we'd have five free safe, five strong safeties. But

377
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: um so I just that's the leeway that I give

378
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: them though, is is are they are they shifting the

379
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: defense little? But not that they've been picking up strong

380
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: safeties like it's going out of business for twelve years now.

381
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: But you know, going back to um, you know, I

382
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: think Chung was kind of the original draft pick that

383
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: they kind of put into that role. But um who's

384
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: the guy. I'm Bucky Tank Williams, thank you, you get yeah, yeah,

385
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, but that was with the start of all right,

386
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: these older safeties, even John Lynch maybe you know, who

387
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: can't maybe run like they used to, but they have

388
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: some toughness and they have some ability in the bed

389
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: like those guys and Bill. Bill has always looked for

390
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: those guys, and you do wonder if maybe that's what

391
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: he's I think a guy like Peppers was someone that

392
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: Bill probably said coming out of the draft, Oh, I

393
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of different things I could do with

394
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: that player, you know, And he's been put yeah, he's

395
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: been Okay, it's coming off an al though, right, yes,

396
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: yeaheah and a high uncle Spring. I think they were

397
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: poor stufford at at the same time. Um, so I

398
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: don't know what. We'll see what happens with him, but

399
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean I still think they're more moves. I'm sure

400
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: it'll be a great deal for the Patriots. Um that's

401
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: what I learned by by going on Twitter all time.

402
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: So there's all that, and then there's free agents still

403
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: out there, um, some of who you know. Obviously we're

404
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: not in the market for quarterback. But there was a

405
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: name that you're probably gonna laugh and it's like, oh, geez, really,

406
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: would you take Sequon Barkley if the money was right? No, No,

407
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I mean, I'm not laughing at you, but

408
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm here now, are you saying generally or right here

409
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: now here? Now? Yeah? Nah? No, no, I mean, doesn't

410
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: he do everything that you want, you know, in terms

411
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: of catching and running. Yeah, but I feel like he's

412
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: redundant a little bit like, well, yeah, but now he's redundant.

413
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: But now you you know, you keep James White as

414
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: a backup, you know, you don't have to play him

415
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: as you know, like you can do anything you want.

416
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: You know, now he's got this injury history, but if

417
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: he's healthy, you can do literally anything you want on

418
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: first second down, anything you want. Why can't you do that?

419
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that there is good Stevenson

420
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: and Harris aren't as good as Barkley. I'm not suggesting

421
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: that they're the same play right, but I think both

422
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: they've shown that they can catch the ball, not as

423
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: well as him. I didn't say they were as good

424
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: a player. They can catch the ball as well as him,

425
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: they're not going to make the plays that he does.

426
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: But same with McCaffrey. No interest there either, okay really none,

427
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: zero because of the health. Yeah, but if you're getting

428
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: rid of those The thing that I like about Harris

429
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: and Stevenson is chances are one of those guys is

430
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: going to be up every week. Yeah. I don't know that.

431
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: If I assume you're getting rid of these guys to

432
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: get to make you get rid of one, maybe you

433
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: get rid of Harris. But the thing is, if Barkley

434
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: gets hurt you you're not done. You've got other guys

435
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: off the bench. I just think that the running back

436
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: is not a problem. Is this like Pepper? Like I

437
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: don't have any problem with Peppers, But I just I wonder. Yeah,

438
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: don't get me, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying

439
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: it's a problem. I'm saying it could be amazing. I

440
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think he's an amazing player.

441
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't think McCaffrey is an amazing player. They're amazing

442
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: fantasy players. They put up all kinds of fantasy value. Yeah,

443
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: well their teams don't win because I don't think you

444
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: can win doing that. But yeah, I mean I wouldn't.

445
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do what Carol like, let's just say Eric

446
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: Henry and his prime is different, Okay, but I would

447
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: if we had McCaffrey, I wouldn't be putting seventy percent

448
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: of my offense through his hands like they did. I

449
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: think that's a mistake. Yeah, you know, I wouldn't do that.

450
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: I agree, And that's the point where I kind of

451
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: come out on which we've talked about before, of of

452
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: teams like the Titans and the Panthers who build their

453
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: identity kind of around their running back guy and then

454
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: he gets hurt and then I wouldn't do. That's what

455
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to. But you know, I think in

456
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: like you know, Paul, but like, oh McCaffrey on like

457
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: a cheap prove it deal, Like he's been injured for

458
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: like two years or something, so you don't really like

459
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: to be the third down back then I like them,

460
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: but to be like the every down rely on him,

461
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: make him the guy, pay him with a guy. And

462
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: I also think there's just so many other concerns right

463
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: now that like running backs one of the only positions

464
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I don't really have to think about

465
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: it too much right now, Like I just I like

466
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: having that kind of like, oh, okay, we got some

467
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: young guys. You don't think you don't think a guy

468
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: like McCaffrey or Barkley makes mac Jones better, well, depending

469
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: if they're on the field, sure, I mean essentially, but

470
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: why why hasn't Barkley made Daniel Jones better because he's

471
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: hurt all the time. Okay, so why is he gonna

472
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: make Mac Jones better. I'm just obviously point everything I

473
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: say was the caveat that if he's healthful. But they're

474
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: all these caveats. You had a caveat if he's healthy.

475
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: Duce has a caveat on a on a cheap prove

476
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: it deal. Right, why are you first of all you

477
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: can't make a guarantee that he's healthy and they donna

478
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: sign a cheap prove it deal Like that's I mean,

479
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it. Yeah, if you if you want

480
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: one of those guys, they are the centerpiece of your offense.

481
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: That's what those guys are. And I'd say philosophically, I

482
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: feel like I like having four running backs who can

483
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: all kind of do different stuff and you know one

484
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: of them or two of them are going to be

485
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: hurt at all times, and not leaning too heavy on one.

486
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: And again, I go back to what other teams said

487
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: last year about the Patriots offense. It's easy to defend.

488
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: That's got to change. Well, I don't think it adds

489
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: Kuon Barkley makes you much more difficult to defend. Really

490
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: the balls going to say Quon Barkley not But it

491
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: doesn't have to. That's what I'm saying, Like, this is

492
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: what I don't understand. So now you're going to just

493
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: use him as a decoy. You know, you're, you're, you're,

494
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: you're stretching my words here. No. I just they're easy

495
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: to defend for because they don't have playmakers on the

496
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. Okay, that's why they're easy to defend.

497
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: But they have a tight end. Is the basic you know,

498
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: a tight end and a physical slot receiver or the

499
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: two main targets in the passing game. In other words,

500
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: nothing that's going to strike fear into it. But I

501
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: think I think what Carolina did with McCaffrey was lazy.

502
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: You know. I think they just said give it to

503
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey instead of distributing the ball and who well

504
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: that's the thing they never developed any No, no no, no,

505
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I'm putting McCaffrey on the Patriots backfield. Who

506
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: are you distributing the ball to Kendrick all All your well,

507
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: you're easy to defend. No, no, unless you get a

508
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: weapon on the outside for mac Jones to develop with. Yeah,

509
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: you're easy to defend. Stacked the line of scrimmage, make

510
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: them run into a wall and make guys get open deep.

511
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: That's that's the philosophy, and you need personnel to do that.

512
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Panthers had j Robbie Anderson, Robbie Anderson, who

513
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: evidently Patriots fans have been lusting after for the last

514
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: month and a half and they couldn't do it well.

515
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Bill had. Bill did say something along the lines of

516
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: what we're hoping for in terms of, you know, the

517
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: free agent why you know, we signed a lot of

518
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: free agents last year. They're still here. And I forget

519
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: his exactly that's stuck out to me. But have you

520
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: have young guys? You signed young guys that are under contract,

521
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: and which to me was a double down on that

522
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: philosophy in year two free he said, I what did

523
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: he say, we hope they get bad or something like

524
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: that or I don't just know. I don't think the

525
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: implication was that, But I think he said was that

526
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: we have young guys who are under contract. And I

527
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: think that's that was in relation to a question asking

528
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: they spent so much money last year, why the change

529
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: this year? Right? And he said, we have young guys

530
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: under contract, and I think that, to me is a

531
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: double down on I'm expecting these guys to get better

532
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: big leap, which was which was a good conversation Paul

533
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: and I had yesterday, because I think this is something

534
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: that's um that's often been an interesting point to me generally,

535
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: not even this season. It's just that I don't think

536
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to tell you that every single

537
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the guys are going to be better next year.

538
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: But I think that fans generally dismiss any kind of

539
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: improvement from players already on the roster. What they saw

540
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: last year is what they're going to see next year

541
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: or worse. And I think that that's a philosophy that

542
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: football football teams don't necessarily agree. Now, Paul will say,

543
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with you, and I

544
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: agree some guys might get worse and maybe ultimately it'll

545
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: it'll be a wash. But I do think that there's

546
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: something there to give these guys more of a chance, right,

547
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: And I agree with Mike. I think there is a

548
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: reason to think that Jhonu Smith and Nelson Agilore, just

549
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: to pick two guys will be better. And I do

550
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: think that Mike is right. Most fans look at guys

551
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: and they say that's what they are boom, But they

552
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: also do it the other way, Like they don't look

553
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: at Kendrick Boyne they say, well he'll he'll get better too.

554
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: Maybe not, Maybe he goes the other way. If if

555
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: you don't do anything different with your offense, then you've

556
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: got a tape worth of Kendrick Boyne in the Patriots system.

557
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: So he's easier, easier to defend a year two. And

558
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: maybe Matthew Judon is more what he was in the

559
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: second half of the year in the first half of

560
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: the year this season. Right, Oh, I refuse to believe that. No,

561
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: and I'm not, but what I think the way that

562
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: Mike said that is absolutely one hundred percent correct. Fans

563
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: and media alike, when we look at it, we always

564
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: sort of look at, oh, you got this and this

565
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: from from born in Judeon. You know, oh, we'll get

566
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: that again, right, just like on the negative side, we

567
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: got this in this from Aglarean Smith, we'll get that again.

568
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: Neither one, like all four of those guys could be

569
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: wildly different than they were a last year. Yep, yep.

570
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: So but just you know, it's it's heating up, I know.

571
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I hearing all the things from Bill and

572
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Robert Gray, it was really worse the joint practices where

573
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: it's just you realize we're gonna be sitting there watching

574
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: some real football stoom? Which is which is that? I mean,

575
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the cool part like the rest. Like

576
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, we haven't heard from Bill in

577
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: in a long time since you know, since um, you know,

578
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: the day after the season when he referred to the

579
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: game the night before as last year. Um, we haven't

580
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: really heard from Bill at all. Yeah, So in that regard,

581
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: it was interesting to hear him saying it, But nothing

582
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: he said excited me in any way. I gotta be

583
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: honest with you, like, I think he has the same

584
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: reservations that we all do. Just one more point on

585
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: the second year thing too, is like I just I

586
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: think Mac is such a big part of this, like

587
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: a second year quarterback, you know, I think that that

588
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to get his real insight of just what's

589
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: the operation, like you know, from when you first got

590
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: here in May last year with all these guys to

591
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: now I know it reports where it John who's sticking

592
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: around like you know, when you guys get together, now,

593
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: how much more productive is it because they're not all,

594
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, waiting for the rookie quarterback to figure it out.

595
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: Like he's been here, he knows, you know. It allows

596
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: everybody to to you know, just improved together. And I

597
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: think that that, you know, overall, my hope is that

598
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: individually we might point to guys who were improved or

599
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: worse from what they were last year. But my hope

600
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: is that overall, the offense as constituted, regardless of what

601
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: they add in the draft, which I expect should be

602
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: something that gives them some kind of boost on offense,

603
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: that that it's gonna be a little bit better than

604
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: it was last year. I don't know if it's going

605
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: to be all of a sudden, Hey, we're just lighting

606
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: people up left and right. It's hard to make that

607
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: argument right now. But I just think based on what

608
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: everything we've heard about Mac, what Mac did when he

609
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: got here last year, I think he'll be better. I

610
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: think that I think Mac should you know, should be

611
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: better and not just as a player, and Bill intimated

612
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: as a leader as well, like he mentioned, Like you know,

613
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of leaders and I

614
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: think I think he mentioned you know, Mac, Yeah, I

615
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: just think it will become one of those young leaders

616
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: to take the torch from the mccordy's and the James Whites.

617
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: And interesting they interesting that he said that too, about

618
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: when they kind of brought up those guys and he

619
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: was went right to, well, they're not going to do

620
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: it forever. Like I just thought that was interesting. It

621
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: wasn't really he wasn't really pitching it as I mean,

622
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: I guess with Slater he was pitching as like an

623
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: all time player coming back, but you know, with with mccordy,

624
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: it was more, you know, it's great to have these

625
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: guys while we can, but other guys got to step up.

626
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, for everybody, that's like

627
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: the theme of yeah, you gotta find the next level

628
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: of guys. Who's the next mccordy, who's the next later,

629
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: Who's going to carry that torch? That's what you got

630
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: to find in these next year or two. Yeah, all right.

631
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: Eight five five pass five hundred is a sticket hut

632
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: line web radio at Patriots dot Com. Is the email

633
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: address Little News News. It sounds like the the overtime

634
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: rules have have passed. Sorry, I lost it on which

635
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: one on Twitter? Yeah? Which one they go? Because there

636
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: was another one that Burt Brewer was talking about today

637
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: that seemed a little different than the other one. So please,

638
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: just I'm warming up to Bill's idea. Just do a

639
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: fifteen minute. I think Bill's had it right for years,

640
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: as I've often do it. You know, I'm often locked

641
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: up with the greatest coach of all time. Yeah, so

642
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: it's the Eagles and Coats proposal has passed and it's permanent.

643
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: Both teams will be guaranteed a possession in overtime postseason only.

644
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: I think that's also a good rule that it's just

645
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: for the postseason. I don't think they needed to do

646
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: anything different in the regular season. So do you know

647
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: that the pariser? So if if a team scores a touchdown,

648
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: the next team gets a chance to score a touchdown,

649
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: and then they get a possession period, and then if

650
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: they both score a touchdown, then it's sudden death. I

651
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: guess and all love that. Oh, then it's sudden death. Yeah,

652
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't love that. Both teams are guaranteed a possession,

653
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: but both teams score, it becomes sudden next. You wouldn't

654
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: get to touch it again, right, I don't like. I

655
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: actually think that opens the door for more inequity like

656
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: that in that you know, everybody says, oh, just stop him,

657
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: Well you didn't stop us. Yeah right, Mike Tomlin. As

658
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: much as I've gained respect for him, I love you

659
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: really have to come out and say, I'm not afraid

660
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: of sudden depth. You're not out there playing. I'm not

661
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: afraid of sudden depth. Yeah, okay, you missed a tough guy.

662
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 1: Put it away, your muscles away. I can tell by

663
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: those sunglasses he's not afraid of anyway. Yeah, I do,

664
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: like I have to admit I do, and and I've

665
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: come full circle on Mike Tomlin. I do find him entertaining.

666
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: I enjoy listening to him. But that was a little

667
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: much like, Okay, you know he has a lot of

668
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: those little uh like for you know, you know, we're

669
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: looking for volunteers, not hostages. Things like that. Yeah, he

670
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: has a lot of those over the years that kind

671
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: of make me chuckle. It's like at some point, guy, hey,

672
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: you're a football coach, but you know that kind of thing,

673
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Like the first time Pittsburgh's in the playoffs and they

674
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: lose because of a sudden death situation, he's gonna get Yeah,

675
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he will. No, I don't think he will.

676
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: I won't pull the Rocky, I'm all right, No, but

677
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: they'll make fun of you human, aren't you all right?

678
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: Eight five five past five hundred A sicket hotline web

679
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: RADIOI pagris dot COM's email address, Justin in Rhode Island,

680
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: writes in hypothetical question, if the Jags offered to trade

681
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence for mac Jones for an equal trade, would

682
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: you do it? Yep, yeah, yeah I would. Yeah, I

683
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: would too. Sorry, Yeah, I mean that said, I'm very,

684
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: very pleased that mac Jones is our quarterback, but I

685
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: recognize the talent of Trevor Lawrence. I'm sorry, come on, yeah,

686
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean as much as I want to tell you, like, well, nope, Tom,

687
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: He's the next Tom Brady. Mac Jones next Tom Brady,

688
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: and I don't want anyone else other than him for

689
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: all eternity. Like I would really wonder what Bill thinks

690
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: of mac Jones, Like I would really like what he's

691
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: like just censored complete criticism, like compare contrast what he

692
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: really thinks, really thinks of Tom Brady and thought of

693
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: Brady at a similar stage in his career, you know, yeah,

694
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: And I would really like to compare and contrast that

695
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: and um, because I mean a lot has been made

696
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: over the years of Bill, you know, sort of through

697
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: through other outlets expressing the you know, the notion that

698
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: he feels like he could win with average quarterback. Yeah,

699
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that quote that was in

700
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: the latest book was from Joe Judge. It was like

701
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: from a former maybe once, you know, like average quarterback

702
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: that consistently won, a top fifteen quarterback, anybody in the

703
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: top fifteen they could win with. And maybe once. I

704
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: don't think, oh yeah, there's outliers or Eddie, right, you know,

705
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: like Joe Flacco caught fire and was phenomenal for one postseason,

706
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Brad Johnson and what's his name, those guys were caretakers.

707
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: Those guys just had special teams. Like Peyton Manning with

708
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: the with the Broncos defense. You know, he wasn't Peyton

709
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: Manning anymore. But Joe Flacco was as much the reason

710
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens won in twenty and twelve is anything else

711
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: that was going on. I mean, he just played out

712
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: of his mind in the playoffs, Yeah, that's why he

713
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: went up to him afterwards. Right. Uh, that was that

714
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: he went to a smaller school. That's why. Well I did,

715
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: and I told him the story that was was my

716
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: son's first ever football game was Delaware Northeastern Wow. And

717
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was the quarterback throwing to Ben Patrick. Remember

718
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: Ben Patrick tight end for the Cards. God, yeah, northeaston

719
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: beat lem. Uh. Well, he's like, yeah, all right, I

720
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: gotta go. Then they dropped the program. Yet some reason,

721
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: he was looking at his watch. It's like, yeah, is

722
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: this He seems like a good guy. He was when

723
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: he passed us to the quarter potty in Philadelphia the

724
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, And I told him, well, he even remember

725
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: when he when he won the MVP and they had

726
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: like the the the young he goes, I get a car.

727
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: He's a good dude. It's just a goof. You know.

728
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: They couldn't stop him in that twelve game though, Man,

729
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: he just they were on fire that second half. Oh

730
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: he I think he threw like twelve touch sounds and

731
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: no picks in that postseason something like that, right up

732
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: the seam, over and over and over again. Tony writes

733
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: in I'm beginning to wonder whether the Patriots are now

734
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: back to the franchise of my youth. Nineteen seventies good

735
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of years on the Chuck Fairbanks eighties,

736
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: good for a year or two, nineties good for three

737
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: to four years. Last twenty years Heaven on Earth spectacular.

738
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: Are we back to the times where we hope there

739
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: is a year or two in the next ten where

740
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: we can realistically win one even two playoff games in

741
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: dream of competing for conference championship. I'm sorry to say it,

742
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: but alas yes, oh no, we shuck again. Well, that's

743
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: most most teams. Most teams have that, you know, it's

744
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not that uncommon to be in that place.

745
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: You know that. That's what it is. I think the outliers.

746
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Yet twenty years of awesomeness that that doesn't happen. James Pettigrew,

747
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: the most interesting Patriots fan in the world, writes in

748
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: at least fifteen to twenty minutes on Will Smith. I

749
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: rarely ask for anything. Maybe late there, maybe we'll get

750
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: it there show. I mean it's I don't know why,

751
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: but all the sports shows did talk about that yesterday,

752
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: and it's because like maybe Will Smith played a lot

753
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: and was in some sports movies. Oh it's not. Why

754
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: the only thing anybody's talking not talking about Ukraine. I mean,

755
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: you know, because that's not the only thing anybody's talking about.

756
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: It might be the most important thing that's going on

757
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: in the world right now. But yeah, you don't hear

758
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about it upstairs? Do you?

759
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: A little later? Heard a lot of Will Smith talk upstairs?

760
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Five pats, five hundred. Let's get over to the phones,

761
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Will Williams and philam, what's up, William? What's going on?

762
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: So that's how y'all doing good? Hey, hey, Mike, how

763
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: are you doing good? Just maybe three questions and that's it. Uh, Bred,

764
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be opposed to what you said about Barkley,

765
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: Christian mccatt. The problem is, though, Man, they dogged them

766
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: so badly and you know everything ran through them. You know,

767
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have it. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Yeah,

768
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I understand it all. Thing. I mean,

769
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean, I wouldn't be opposed

770
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: to the Barkley situation. But it's just he's just entry

771
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: from at this point, you know what I mean. So, um,

772
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be opposed to a little bit. I

773
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: don't know how that would work out, though, but I

774
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: would I wouldn't give him, No, they wouldn't. I wouldn't

775
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: trade up nothing big for him, all right, Like, if

776
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: you're just gonna tell me you're gonna drop se Quon

777
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: Barkley into onto my team, right into my lap, I

778
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: don't have to give up anything for him or whatever. Absolutely,

779
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you he's not better than Damien Harris.

780
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: Of course he is. It's not a football thing. I

781
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: just I don't think it's very realistic. Yeah, and the

782
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: Jabrill Peppers, I hope they's t I've been a fan

783
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: of assistants at Michigan. He can do He's a jack

784
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: of all trades. He can do anything just about. Put

785
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: him in any position, receiver, kick returner, you know, strong, safety,

786
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: free safety, linebackers. So if you watch him, William, if

787
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: you watched him a lot as a pro, Yeah, why

788
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: is this gonna be his third team in six seasons?

789
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: Would be he del trade help? Is how he went? No,

790
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is going to be his third

791
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: team in six years? Yeah? Because the two works well.

792
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: If the Patriots sign him or wherever he goes. Wherever

793
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: he goes, it's going to be his third team in

794
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: six years. Yeah. Right. I think he's a pretty good

795
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: player too. I have no problem if the Patriots were

796
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: looking into signing him, even though I think they have

797
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: a glot of safeties. I'm all four bringing good players.

798
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's couldn't a lot to the rush.

799
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: The Brandon Cooks thing, first round draft pick who you

800
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: know has that behind him, but teams don't want to

801
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: pay the first round ready draft. You know, it's a

802
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: great one. Brandon Cooks, right, been on a million teams,

803
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: and I think he's a good that's a great Yeah, tough,

804
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: great com He's ended two of the last three years

805
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: on I R two. So yeah, first round. It might

806
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: be a little too small to play that style that

807
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Yeah, and my last question is okay,

808
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: so y'all we're talking about the Nelson. Also, let me

809
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: let me be uh, let me get my keeping my

810
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: expectations down. You know, you all and Mike talking about

811
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: Nelson Aguil and John Knew and they second year and whatnot.

812
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: So I know I've been rubbing that off for a

813
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: little bit, but I mean it makes sense. So let's

814
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: just see what these boys can do in their second year.

815
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, I ain't expecting too much, like I said,

816
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: Nelson Nagel, Like I told you, Mike, I'm not expecting.

817
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what this thing. I don't know what.

818
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: That's what I said to you. I don't know what

819
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: you're expecting from him, John Knew. I'll give him a

820
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: pass because I you know, he kind of missed training

821
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: camp and stuff, so I kind of give him a pass.

822
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: So but Nelson Nagel, if he doesn't evolved, then I mean,

823
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: just just prepare yourself and I hopefully the Patriots will

824
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: put something in order, like this is why the draft

825
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: is here. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. Other

826
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: than that, you know, I'm all for it, man, you

827
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I'm all for It's thanks well.

828
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's something to be said with

829
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: with Aglaura being that, you know, role of downfield guy

830
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: and you know, a rookie quarterback like I can at

831
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: least have some kind of argument with myself saying, you know,

832
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: there's a real Max should be able to get the

833
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: ball downfield, a little more understanding protection better, you know, so,

834
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: and there were there were glimmers of here and there.

835
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: And I have seen a lot of stories from the

836
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: analytics about his routes and how he wasn't really targeted

837
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: to the Yeah, I mean there are if you want

838
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: to look for it, you gids. What worries me most

839
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: about him, it's upstairs. Didn't he get in the doghouse

840
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: right away? Here? There was something weird during camp. I

841
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: remember where we weren't sure if him and Bill had

842
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: words on the field or something, and then he and

843
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: then he didn't play the rest of practice. I mean,

844
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: that's right. And I hadn't even thought of that until

845
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: he just said it. There was some kind of quirkiness. Yeah, yeah,

846
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: but I would say, I mean just personal opinion that

847
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, I got a good vibe from him. It

848
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: seemed like he was, you know, invested and had his

849
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: head on straight or whatever. That should you should put

850
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: that on Twitter, like one of the rush The one

851
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: thing that sticks out with me, you know, and I

852
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: always you know me, I get my my antenna go up.

853
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: When you start to see a lot of the same

854
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: kinds of phraseology being used by different writers and whatnot,

855
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: A lot of attention suddenly being played paid to him

856
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: being here for the off season program and he wasn't

857
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: here Smith, Jono Smith, I should say, yes, Jona Smith,

858
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't here last year and okay, so like to me,

859
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the last straw. Yeah, like, let's

860
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: see if we can squeeze something out of this guy.

861
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: I think you know what I always think for whenever

862
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: they're talking about something like that all the time, I

863
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: go back to the Chad Jackson rule. Really smart, really smart,

864
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: Like we got him up on the board and gave

865
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: up like question in the back. I don't remember asking

866
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: you if I thought if you thought Chad Jackson was

867
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: smart enough to pick up the city, why are you

868
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: telling me unsolicited all these times about how smart Chad

869
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: Jackson is? My question here is why are we hearing

870
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: all these things about what Jono Smith's going to be

871
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: doing in the off season as the year two guy

872
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of young guys under contract

873
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: and he's going to be here for the off season problem.

874
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: So that's what we're saying now, was the reason why

875
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: he didn't pan out last year? He was not here?

876
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: Got it? I think he's uh, I think he's real,

877
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: But that doesn't explain the end of the season. I

878
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: can see the beginning of the season, but by the

879
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: end of the season, come on, Yeah, I just don't

880
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: think he looks like a very fluid natural football player. Right.

881
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: He's an athlete. He's a great athlete. We all get

882
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: excited because that one play in preseason where it's like

883
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: he could do things. Oh, I think he can't. Yeah,

884
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: I think he is athletically gifted. But now after watching

885
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: him last year, I'm seeing why Tennessee only had him

886
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: catch forty five balls. Yeah. I think he's really interesting,

887
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: just because I think what we saw from him in

888
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: camp and during the season in little bits were like

889
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: what he does well, and it seemed like they knew

890
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: what he did well, and they were, you know, trying

891
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: to get him a little screen passes, little underneath, let

892
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: him run. It never looked comfortable, and you know, I

893
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: just I wonder how much of it is nuance of

894
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, like like the quarterbacks always catch the ball

895
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: in space and it like it takes him a second

896
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: to Yeah, in that, I thought he always looked like

897
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: he was like his his steps would be choppy, like

898
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: he was thinking, Okay, I need to make sure I

899
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: get ready to cut at seven yards, right. Yeah, that

900
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: was exactly like I think when you got the ball.

901
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's what the adjustment that that Bill

902
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: and Josh made last year was, Let's stop making this

903
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: guy think. Let's just put the ball in his hands.

904
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,479
Speaker 1: Let's hand it to him eight or ten times. Let's

905
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: throw a couple of tight end screens to him. Let's

906
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: have him drag across the field on the plays that

907
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: Mike is talking about. Nothing that he has to think

908
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: too much. Just catch the ball and run with it.

909
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: I think it's and that's where I was exactly where

910
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: I was heading Paul. It was it just seemed like

911
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: he couldn't quite get in sync with the offense. And

912
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, you see so many times with like Brady

913
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: where he'd be walking with a receiver and he'd you know,

914
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: like slowly go and then right here at this is

915
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: where you put your right foot and then you look

916
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: in the balls like everything was is down to the

917
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: like the millimeter in terms of where they want to

918
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: put the ball, where they want the routes to go

919
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: when they break, and it just didn't seem like he

920
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: could get in sync with that. So I have some

921
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: hope that like maybe he gets a little bit more

922
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: in sync with that. But I also wonder you played

923
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: do his strings last year? Like I couldn't sit here

924
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: and tell you they didn't do what he did in Tennessee.

925
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: They did, Like I mean that they derided to get

926
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: him the ball in space and let him off the sidelines.

927
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: That's what he did. You know, how do they evolved?

928
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: Does you know does the Jacob Johnson thing the fullback?

929
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: Do they get him out of the backfield more? Do

930
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: they use him that way? So? How do they change?

931
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: And and and who's gonna change? Who's gonna put the

932
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: thought into this of how do we elevate the office?

933
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: And I think that speaks to what people are concerned

934
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: about with our mampetrician Joe Judge. Good football coaches absolutely,

935
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: are they innovative offensive minds that can you know, adjust

936
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: and throw curveballs at other teams? You have no, you

937
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: have no evidence of that. So that that's that's a

938
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: big question. And you know just something I think generally

939
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: team fans want to be excited about their offense. It's

940
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: all about offense now, and you know, the wide zone

941
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: and Sean McVay and all the things that they do,

942
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't want to go in thinking

943
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: what we're just gonna have a conventional kind offense. You

944
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: want to And I like that about Josh. You felt

945
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: like Josh thought outside the box and had a lot

946
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: of different stuff. So how are they gonna use guys different,

947
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: what's gonna look different, and how they're trying to unpack

948
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: their offense. I think those are the things for OTAs.

949
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: That's that'll be fascinating. Let's go to Rashod and Baltimore.

950
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: What's up with a shod? Hey? What's up? What's up?

951
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: What's up? Let me see. I guess I got, I got,

952
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: I got two two non patriot related questions, and then

953
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: one patriolated question. First um um for two Thoy nineteen,

954
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: when the Patriots drafting to kill her, I wanted them

955
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: to draft Lamar Jackson. I know, I mean, I know

956
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 1: they still at Brady, but I wanted him to draft

957
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: them all Jackson because you know, I'm wanting the future

958
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: and I just thought he was, you know, Lee was

959
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: like the next big thing. Now of what do y'all

960
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: think about day? I'm not I don't remember being like

961
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, wow, here's a guy that is highly

962
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: rated that's still available. But I didn't. I wasn't, Like,

963
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, I had the same kind

964
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: of thought. I thought Lamar Jackson was a dynamic athlete,

965
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: but I wasn't sure he'd ever be able to throw

966
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: well enough to be as successful as he already has been.

967
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: And there's still questions about how well he throws. Yeah,

968
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: but he is so electric as a runner that I

969
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: think any team that didn't have a quarterback would say, sure,

970
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: I'll take that. Yep, okay, okay, okay. And then um

971
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: my second one, um the top four tight ends in

972
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: the league. Um, because me and my friends having a debate,

973
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: is Kelsey, Kittle, Andrews and Waller is that correct or not?

974
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: Without giving it any thought, I would say that sounds good? Yeah,

975
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: like am I missing someone? I mean yeah, I don't

976
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: think anybody would argue with Ni Gronk has fallen off.

977
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: I don't think he's you know, but yeah, that moment,

978
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: and I would say that there are you know, there's

979
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot of good tight ends. Yeah. I don't know

980
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: how many great ones they are up, but there are

981
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot of good ones. And my last one waste

982
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: um as a Patriots fan, like we we don't really

983
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: have like no really like no real fan fairy risk.

984
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, besides, you know Edelman, but he's old. But

985
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like jersey because like I was thinking about, like,

986
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, the jerseys I've gotten, the last real jerseys

987
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: I've got, and I think it was a Groundkowski jersey.

988
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: But it's like, we don't really have any players you know,

989
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: that will stay long enough to wear as you you know,

990
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to get their jersey because well, yeah,

991
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: certainly not that you know, like Dave Andrews has been

992
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: here for a while. But who's buying a center's jersey? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,

993
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: I love it. Rashard, I think about that a lot.

994
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it it's just kind of well,

995
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: I think it sums it up. It sums it up

996
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: where they're at. You know, if you're gonna buy a jersey,

997
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: you want to buy a young player who's exciting and

998
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: gonna be there for a while. And and who would

999
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: you say other than Mac right now? I mean maybe Stevenson,

1000
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: But I think there's just it speaks to the drafts

1001
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: and the last maybe maybe Kendrick going if he can,

1002
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: if he can, can you know, continue what he's doing. Yeah,

1003
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: maybe if he can explain what you doing. But induce

1004
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: I had just a bonus question for us of all

1005
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots Super Bowl runs and puts their fandom head on,

1006
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: which one was your favorite? Twenty fourteen? Twenty fourteen? For sure?

1007
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: That was That was my same one too. I would say,

1008
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: just because I was a pure fan for the first three,

1009
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, just not invested any more than just a

1010
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: real fan. And then in OH six I really got

1011
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: into online blogging message boards, and so for that whole

1012
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: space between like say two thousand and six seasons two fourteen,

1013
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: I was in it. And so every loss from OH

1014
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: five through then I was just devastated. And so that one,

1015
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 1: that one meant the most, especially with how the game went.

1016
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: Here we go again, another good I think I might

1017
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: pick fourteen two. Yeah, I went to that. That was

1018
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: one blow up, But I see I like that when

1019
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: they're you know, when when you win a game when

1020
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: the other team actually fought back. Yeah, and I think

1021
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: back and forth game just like I would say, um,

1022
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, the way it was in two thousand and

1023
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: one obviously will be special because it was the first one.

1024
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: But I think fourteen have been picked, especially because you

1025
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: remember those those playoff games too, like who they beat

1026
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: in sixteen. I probably really have to think about it

1027
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: for a second. Other than it was one of the

1028
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 1: it was one of the only times since like you know,

1029
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: the turn of that's you know that whatever the twenty

1030
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: ten on, you know they didn't have a cupcake. Yeah

1031
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: in the division round now, I think they blew out

1032
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 1: to the double by right, Yeah, fourteen, Yeah andrew up. Yeah,

1033
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna we'll buy that year though with

Speaker 1: it takes a leap of faith, a belief in what

1207
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: you're striving toward, and a willingness to make the commitment

1208
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: day in and day out to something bigger than yourself.

1209

01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: doesn't like the weather, yep, see it's raining. Raining makes

1216
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: Erica's pet boy. I have to admit the fact that

1217
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I had to put jeans on this morning really got

1218
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: me mad. Yea, it's like August and I'm wearing long

1219
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: pants staring at the khaki shorts. Not today a good thing.

1220
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: I warrant too. It was cold and Paul wears mom jeans.

1221
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: By the way, well, my jeans are like so cool.

1222
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: They're so old. Yeah, and it's so warm. Acid washed

1223
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,959
Speaker 1: ripped jeans. You're gonna ask. They're not even acid watched.

1224
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: They just look at you. Don't have like a tight

1225
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: light bellbot shot up. I thought he was gonna wear

1226
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: like tight tape. I don't do. I don't do the

1227
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: euro cheene get for obvious reasons. That's another great moment

1228
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: from all right back here in Patriots Unfiltered eight five

1229
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 1: five PATS five hundred is the a sticket outline web

1230
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: radio at Patriots dot com is the email address. UM,

1231
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: anything happened during lunch we need to talk about? No.

1232
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: I just nothing out of the owner's meetings today, about

1233
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: any of the continuation of the COVID adjustment rules, none

1234
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: of that day. I just saw that they're gonna they're

1235
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: gonna meet again in may so it seems like they

1236
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: they changed the overtime rule and then as as well

1237
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: as on kickoffs. I think as many people can be

1238
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: in the box, they could restrict something they changed. They

1239
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: kept that, they kept, they kept it. They kept that

1240
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: um and otherwise that that was it. There was um

1241
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: some interesting data on the injuries last year. The head

1242
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: injuries they did drop, Yeah, that was one thing. And

1243
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: they talked about the replays. The number of actual reviews

1244
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: dropped from twenty twenty and the time of the average

1245
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: time of each one dropped as well, which they felt

1246
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: like it was an indication that that system is working. Yeah,

1247
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: because we started a million times like where it looked

1248
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: like they let a play run through when a team

1249
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: returned something you know, seventy yards or a touchdown and

1250
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: you're like, and you see the referee and the goal

1251
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: line put his hands up, but you're like, this didn't

1252
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: even look close to me. And then before they even

1253
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: had to go through the replay process thing, the guy

1254
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: in the sky what is it called the sky judges

1255
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: that I don't know, but you know, they obviously had

1256
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: communication with the referee and they listen. The ruling on

1257
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the field was an incomplete pass I wrote in the

1258
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: nineties and Patriots Football Weekly, that's what they should do.

1259
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: So they finally and to me, just have somebody who

1260
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: can do it with the authority right away. Have somebody, yes, yeah,

1261
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: and I think it's the command center in New York.

1262
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: But I think Fred's thing would be even better. Just

1263
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: have one guy at every you know, just one guy

1264
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: in charge, like because you know that all the angles

1265
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, quickly move things. And I think they call

1266
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: it the Hawkeye technology, which was giving UM people access

1267
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: to the replays quicker and not being reliant on the

1268
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: network and different angles and whatnot. Let's get back to

1269
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: the phones. Spi and Fresnel's been hanging on. Thanks to be.

1270
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: What's up. I think we got the new eighteen today here,

1271
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, no addition by subtraction. Yeah, I like,

1272
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: I actually like print everything with a see the more

1273
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: that I thought about it, because it's just, you know,

1274
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: it goes with this like pomposity and like how he

1275
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: kind of claims is Dilton's expertise and everything. It's also

1276
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: called back to like the Prince of thing a little bit.

1277
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with Prince everything. Yeah, yeah, screw you. I

1278
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: wanted to follow up on the thing last week calling

1279
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: about where Bill and the Schueler record, you know, kind

1280
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: of not wanting to risk the three more losses a

1281
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: season thing by playing the young developing players instead kind

1282
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: of just sticking with like your thumper better in middle class.

1283
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's good enough to win, you enough

1284
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: to lose in the wild card round. And I had

1285
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: been thinking that maybe that was that kind of build

1286
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: scheme in order to get the Schueler record. But maybe

1287
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: that's not the real intent behind it. Maybe it's just

1288
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: that Bill's doing what he's always done, and like maybe

1289
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: he just hasn't or maybe doesn't know how to like

1290
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: have a team building process in the post Brady era,

1291
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, like you're talking before about like winning with

1292
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: a top fifteen quarterback. Maybe that's just not in Bill's

1293
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: skill set. And that's take okay, thank speak. I'm trying

1294
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: to think. I mean, I don't get it. I usually

1295
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm big on Spee's interaction. I don't get this one. Well,

1296
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: building without a top flight quarterback is different than you know,

1297
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: like people said, I you know, listen to the radio

1298
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: this morning. They were talking about how Brady was the

1299
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: ultimate band aid. You know, you could make mistakes and

1300
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Brady would cover them up, which is true. I like

1301
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: to call them human spackle, Yeah, which is true. It's

1302
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: it's true. And so if you don't have a top

1303
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: flight quarterback, you know, um, it's different. It's you have

1304
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: to worry about things. Maybe you don't have to when

1305
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: you have that guy, you know, but it's I'll go

1306
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: back to what I said, and you can yell at me.

1307
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: It's football, and I think Bill knows football, and I

1308
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: think he knows football players. Yeah. I just think I'm

1309
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna say something really controversial right now. Like I'm against

1310
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: violence against women, that's right, very anti domestic violence. I'm

1311
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: really really against that. You might argue, you might yell

1312
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 1: at me, but it's football and Bill knows football. You

1313
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: might argue with me, Mike, I I do believe that.

1314
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: And I think I said on the show last week

1315
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: that you know that they he has, you know, very

1316
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things that he believes about composition of

1317
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: teams and balancing veterans and all that. I just wonder

1318
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: how much of where he is now do you feel

1319
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: like was established kind of in at New York and

1320
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland through those experiences, and you know, he came in

1321
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: and then how did it evolve from that point over

1322
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: the last twenty years when he was here, he had

1323
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: full control. He was able to start to get the

1324
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: pieces in place that he needed. So it wasn't you know,

1325
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: every year I'm trying to rebuild the team. As you know,

1326
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: certainly Brady was a big part of that. But I

1327
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: just I wonder how his philosophy changed over time. You know,

1328
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: from where he started coming here from Cleveland, what he

1329
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 1: took from that experience, you know, all the different things,

1330
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: the scouting language that they all speak, you know, I

1331
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: know those things probably are still the same, but just

1332
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: in terms of building a team, the dynamic, you know,

1333
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: wanting the right mix of you know, you don't want

1334
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: to be too young, you don't want to be too old.

1335
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: You need elements of both. And you have to adapt

1336
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: because what's changing below you when I'm talking about the

1337
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: college game and the players coming out of college and

1338
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the high school kids going into college. You have to adapt.

1339
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: You you can't. You can't. You know, we're gonna be

1340
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 1: a three or four team and that's what we are.

1341
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: You know, when you don't have enough people to do

1342
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: to do a three four defense. Yeah, and then but

1343
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: then I will also be guys and you know, I

1344
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: don't necessarily subscribe to this, but that you know, it's

1345
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: he finds market inefficiencies and he knows, you know, when

1346
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: this kind of player is undervalued, he stocks. I don't

1347
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 1: really believe all that, but I do believe that that

1348
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: he has a you know, a chemistry to it that

1349
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: he believes in. And I would just be curious how

1350
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: how it's changed, and you know, how much does it

1351
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: change when of course you got like while we got Brady,

1352
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: So do we really you don't need to do that

1353
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: now we're back to Yeah, we really do need to

1354
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: make sure that this thing is is taken care of

1355
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: because we don't have that you know, leeway. Yeah. I

1356
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: think I think that you know, a lot of people

1357
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: like you know, yearn for the past. I think football

1358
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: is better than ever and because of the diversity and offense.

1359
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, like four you had mostly everybody was a

1360
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: pocket passer back when I was a kid. You know,

1361
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: now you have some teams that pocket passers, some teams

1362
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks. Teams have guys that can do both. And

1363
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: you can't have just one defense. You have to be

1364
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: able to adapt to the different offenses that are on

1365
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: your schedule. Yeah, you know, you just there's no way

1366
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: around it. The thing I found interesting, and I see

1367
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: this too with maybe I connect with a little bit

1368
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: more with hockey, but just how much better the sport

1369
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: is now with the players, and I think you certainly

1370
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: see it with the wide receiver position, with all the

1371
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 1: seven on seven that kids play, and you just get

1372
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, when I was growing up, I mean there

1373
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: certainly were towns that a pop warner and kids that

1374
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: got some experience. Some kids like me a little too chubby.

1375
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens. You're you're too big

1376
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: to play football when you're a kid. That was me,

1377
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: but a lot of me and my friends we didn't

1378
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: play till freshman year of high school. That's when hey,

1379
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: here you go, we're playing football. Now. Now you have

1380
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: kids who, you know, like when I lived in California,

1381
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: my boss's son who was going to Arizona, you know,

1382
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: like he was all year long flag football camps and

1383
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's a quarterback. A lot goes into it,

1384
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 1: but like Brady, like Brady, what do you mean? I

1385
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: had a throw in coach when he was a sophomore. Yeah, So,

1386
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's just it's continuing to build on that.

1387
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: And I mean, and Max's been all over the country

1388
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: with it. But I guess I connect with a little

1389
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: bit more of hockey because I played, and you know,

1390
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: I see those players and it's the same kind of

1391
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: thing where it's you know, you've got all these like

1392
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 1: stick handling coaches and all this different stuff that goes

1393
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: into it now and just the skill level is so

1394
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: much greater, and and I get it. Sometimes it feels

1395
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: like you're not tapping those modern pieces that have really

1396
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of gotten better and developed in recent years. You're

1397
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: still kind of looking at as you know, kids who

1398
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: by the time they get here, they've only been a

1399
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: receiver for eight years, four years of high school, four

1400
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: years in college, you know, but you know, they get

1401
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: into college, they've seen a lot already because they did

1402
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: it in high school. Then by the time they get

1403
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and I think that's why you're seeing so many of

1404
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 1: these wide receivers hit it right away. You're throwing so

1405
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,560
Speaker 1: much more in college now, I mean, is there's no

1406
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: pay come right in and they that part of it.

1407
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I like that better because I

1408
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: like the fact that you know the passing game. You know,

1409
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: you can have quarterbacks and receivers come into the league

1410
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: and you don't have to wait four or five years

1411
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: before these guys really mature into their prime. I wonder

1412
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: if Bill Walsh was alive now, if he'd amend his

1413
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: philosophy that you know, every quarterback needs like three years

1414
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: on the bench. I wonder if he'd changed his mindset

1415
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: there because things are different now. Yeah. Well, I mean

1416
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: it's and I see both sides of it too, because

1417
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: I see, on one hand, you're throwing the ball a

1418
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: lot more. These these passing games are more complex, but

1419
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: you're also seeing the whole team look at the sideline

1420
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: wait for the coach to tell him what to do

1421
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: that stuff I don't like, and then they all go

1422
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, And then you wonder, well, when

1423
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:40,799
Speaker 1: he gets into a situation where all of a sudden,

1424
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: the defense all shifts and you can't talk to the

1425
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: coach anymore because the communications cut off, you know, are

1426
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: you able to process and manage that situation too? So

1427
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: it's I think, I think for quarterbacks, as long as

1428
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: they know why the coach on the sideline called what

1429
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: he called and understands the reasoning behind it. I think,

1430
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: you know you can learn that way too. It's interesting

1431
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: you say that word. That was I remember hearing Matt

1432
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 1: Hasselbeck randomly as him last week, but I remember him

1433
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: saying he really, you know, talking to people at last week,

1434
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: But I remember him saying, I've really made a significant

1435
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: stride in my career as a quarterback when I started

1436
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: understanding why right we were doing things and not just

1437
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: what's the play call? Get it off? Why are we

1438
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: doing this? And then I was understanding more conceptually how

1439
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:27,560
Speaker 1: to how to play the position. Yes, you know, and

1440
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 1: and and I think to connect it to Mac a

1441
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, do you have some physical concerns

1442
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: about him, Sure, but I think his processing ability and

1443
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: his ability to throw with anticipation does all set some

1444
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 1: of some of his weaknesses. And I think that then

1445
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 1: goes back to what's the ceiling for a quarterback like that,

1446
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: where you already come in you kind of understand it,

1447
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: Is it that much better if you understand it faster

1448
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: or you know, or you're able to pick out flaws

1449
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: or things that you know you've seen before. As you

1450
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: gain that experience. So I think that's the big question.

1451
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: What as as excited as I was last year to hey,

1452
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: we got rookie quarterback coming in, what's this going to

1453
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: be like? Now? It's like, all right, we've seen Mac,

1454
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: we've seen what he was as a rookie. What's it

1455
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna look like now? How are they going to change things?

1456
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: And you know that that that'll be people? Oh well,

1457
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: h we have a guest caller and uh it's Eric

1458
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: with a K, Eric calling in from the owners meeting.

1459
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: What's up, Eric? Yeah, Well, I uh, actually on the

1460
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: plane right now. But yeah, it was a quick meeting.

1461
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: They got their business done real quick. Okay, So and

1462
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: what do you have to report? Well, I'm sure you

1463
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,719
Speaker 1: guys have already mentioned it, but the uh, the somewhat

1464
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: controversial over time rule did pass today. Yeah, just for

1465
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs though, right, Only for the playoffs, right, But

1466
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: it seems like they just are postponing the inevitable. So

1467
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: each team gets a chance at it and if you're

1468
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: tired after that, it's studden death all over again. So

1469
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: in case of like Casey and Buffalo, if Buffalo it

1470
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: gotten the ball and going down and scored and Tide

1471
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: the game and then he comes back in the field

1472
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: goal games over, So you're just kind of understand, yeah,

1473
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, So you say it was controversial.

1474
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: People were talking about like how many people liked it

1475
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: and how many people didn't If you took a quick

1476
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,560
Speaker 1: straw pole, well, that's that's that's a good question. I

1477
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: think most people were in favor of doing something with overtime.

1478
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: But uh, and the same seems to be a sentiment

1479
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: to do it for the playoffs only, so not too

1480
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: surprising that that part of it past. But just I

1481
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if there's a perfect solution

1482
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: other than the ones that we've already talked about, you know,

1483
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: in the past. But you know, letting the letting it

1484
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: play out until somebody scores more points than the other,

1485
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: not necessarily in a sudden deathform, play an extra quarter,

1486
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: right yeah yeah, right, yeah, um what else? What else? Yeah? Again?

1487
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: How how was the traveling and did you get any

1488
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: good food down there? Oh? Yeah, we've got some good

1489
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: food down here. Yes, I was. That's always a priority,

1490
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: as you well know, yea, But I mean there wasn't

1491
01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: much There wasn't much news coming up. The big buzz

1492
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: was all about. You know, the AFC really was dominating

1493
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 1: a conversation down here with all the all the transactions

1494
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: that have that have gone on, it would have past

1495
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,560
Speaker 1: two weeks and you know, obviously we talked to the

1496
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: owner this morning. Yeah, and that was well, you know,

1497
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: he said in the bar Hind he wants to compete

1498
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: this year. So you know, kind of what you've been

1499
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: saying all along, Fred is kind of what he's thinking. Yeah,

1500
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:34,759
Speaker 1: what about um NFL wise, scuttle butt about DeShawn Watson

1501
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: and what you know what his name, you know, other

1502
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: than the trade and you know, helping the AFT be

1503
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: that much more competitive than that conference in that division,

1504
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: his name really hasn't come up because you know, I'm

1505
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: almost like the commissioner frowned upon that sort of discussion

1506
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: at the owners meeting. I was, I was surprised to

1507
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: hear and I don't know how many it is, but

1508
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: long time Cleveland fans saying I'm done. Yeah, I know

1509
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: I've seen some of that. Yeah, I always don't really

1510
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: buy it, but I have seen it. Yeah, for how long?

1511
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: Right exactly? I mean until they start winning games, right

1512
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: then they'll be back. But not topic of conversation. Okay,

1513
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: so all right, well, um, other than that, Yeah, so

1514
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,680
Speaker 1: you're on a plane waiting to take off. As you

1515
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: you're on the runway. The part in the background noise,

1516
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: that's what's going on. Masks required. Oh yeah, unfortunately, Yeah,

1517
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: mass required TSA. Did you were able to get through

1518
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: t SA on that special thing that you have? I was,

1519
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: it took it took me. It took me less time

1520
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: to get through it. And it's a call into the show. Yeah,

1521
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: I didn't know if like you had updated it since

1522
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,919
Speaker 1: you hadn't been traveling for two years. If that requires

1523
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: for a certain amount of it's good for a certain

1524
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 1: amount of time. You have to renew it every so often.

1525
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,560
Speaker 1: But right, good for now? Okay, how how annoyed is

01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 1: somebody I recognized in the next get who was going

1535
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: to Boston. Yeah, you're flying into Providence, right, that's right, Yeah,

1536
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: when no one, no one would be Why would you

1537
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,639
Speaker 1: be going back to Providence probably on an empty probably

1538
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: on an empty for you snack you get the biscuit

1539
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: or the pretzels or the nuts. I try to get full.

1540
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh you asked for because it hurting the chest for

1541
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: the throat. Okay, all right, um, I hope they have

1542
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: a vegetarian uh platter offering on them on the menu.

1543
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 1: All right, all right, well underscore, we'll see you. So

1544
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: no news to report, kidding, Well, I mean he did

1545
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: start to talk about Robert and you're like, we already

1546
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 1: talked about it. I think that's probably what he was called.

1547
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: One of the things that I think he did was

1548
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: he was supposed to go around all the other coaches.

1549
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He got uh you know the AFC

1550
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Arms race kind of dl. I know he talked to well,

1551
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 1: he didn't talk to you. He got quotes from Sean McDermott,

1552
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, um, someone else, Cincinnati, Yeah, Zach Taylor. Um.

1553
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, he went around the league a little bit

1554
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:43,759
Speaker 1: um and basically around the league is the AFC, because

1555
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: that's that's where the arms race is. Yeah, all right,

1556
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,719
Speaker 1: let's get back to the phones. Dave's in Manitoba, Canada.

1557
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: What's up, Dave good an opinion, there'll be a question

1558
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: for you guys, if you have the time, you want

1559
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 1: it eagerly anticipating the trivia excellent. My opinion is, I'm

1560
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: glad to hear you guys talking about football again. These

1561
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: last few weeks of just contract talk is it's disturbing

1562
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: in my books, Like when we got Randy Moss, I

1563
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 1: can vividly remember everybody being excited about a star receiver

1564
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: already cared about what he got paid or what it

1565
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:26,719
Speaker 1: was going to cost us because he wasn't making any money. Well,

1566
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: everybody cared the second gear when he signed that contract extension,

1567
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:35,080
Speaker 1: people cared, well, they cared. But I mean, a guy

1568
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: like Darren Waller and DeVante Adams are going to be

1569
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: playing together and I haven't heard moved about it. All

1570
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: they care about is that he got honored forty million.

1571
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: And yeah, just my opinion, I'm tired of hearing contract

1572
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: outs and I want to talk about football. Okay, I'm

1573
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: probably alone on that one. All right, what's your trivia question?

1574
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. In the twenty fourteen season, Week six,

1575
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots beat Bill thirty seven, twenty two, and Brady

1576
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 1: hit passes to four wide receivers, three tight ends, two

1577
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: running backs and a full back. Can you guys name

1578
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: the ten players? Oh? God? What is what is the question?

1579
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: Twenty fourteen thirty seven to say? Thirty seven twenty one,

1580
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: twenty two win over the Bills Week six, yep, twenty seven?

1581
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Who were the ten people that Brady hit four four

1582
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 1: wide receivers, three tight ends, two running back and a

1583
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: full back? No idea? Well so Hernandez and Gronk? Oh No,

1584
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Hernandez has gone right? Fourteen? Gronk has won? Um Edelman

1585
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: Edelman la fell? Yeah? Uh? Oh MANOUI James White Manui

1586
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: was one? Yeah? White was not one of them. White

1587
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: wasn't Shane Vereen? Correct up? Veren? Okay, I don't know

1588
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: what do we get? Yeah? Five, I don't know. I

1589
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: don't know. Brandy Moas now, Danny Amendola there yet? It

1590
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: wasn't there yet? Why don't you just tell us? All right?

1591
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: It was a few odd names. I thought it would

1592
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: be interesting, Uh, James Devlin him right, Aaron Dobson him

1593
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: that list. It's a good question. It's actually a good

1594
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: trivia question because of you know, the Brian Tims and

1595
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 1: you know those kinds of guys. Stephen Ridley. I didn't

1596
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: even think of him fourteen, Yeah, it had some odd

1597
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: names on him. I thought it'd be interesting. Okay, well

1598
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:38,560
Speaker 1: you were wrong. You're a bad guy. All right, thank you,

1599
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: thanks for the trivia. Always welcome here. I mean it's

1600
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: just like, we have some news. Can you recite the

1601
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen rocks? We have something, We have some new

1602
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: students news. The Patriots have in fact signed Jabrill Peppers

1603
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 1: to win you. Oh okay, so there, there it is, there,

1604
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: it is there, it is. So I still have my question,

1605
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: why don't they like Kyle Dugger as much as I do? Right?

1606
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: The stock up on safety well punt returner, right, Like

1607
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: I think that Kyle Dugger looks to me the prototype

1608
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: explosive dangerous punt return Well, he wasn't. Leonora Rhyan, Yeah, yeah,

1609
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:14,120
Speaker 1: And I see him look very fluid doing it in

1610
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: the practice field. I'm necessarily more talking about how he

1611
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: looks here doing it, but they never really give him

1612
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: chances in games. Well, I mean, Leonora Ryan, you know

1613
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: you do it in a department store for plus side dresses.

1614
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's not the same as the NFL. The

1615
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: way I would have said, I just said I've been

1616
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: talking about here, but I didn't want to step on

1617
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: the line. People are like, what is he talking about?

1618
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: One year deal? Little a little curious, you know, I

1619
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: just guy, I don't know, coming off an injury, it's

1620
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: almost like the rebuild one year. I don't know, a

1621
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: one year deal. It's just say it's perfect for you,

1622
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, one year proven deal, and we just get

1623
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: rid of it. I know, but that's not a rebuilding

1624
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: move because they are rebuilding now. They know they're not

1625
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,600
Speaker 1: doing anything now. I don't know. That's my point, So

1626
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: why bother them? That's not really like because I could

1627
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: see two year like all right, he would tell you

1628
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 1: the answer to that. It's some insurance for mccordy if

1629
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: you didn't you know, yeah, back next year you're probably

1630
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: not gonna get And he's coming off an ACL and

1631
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: an ankle, so right, I don't I don't know when

1632
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be actually ready, So I don't. It just

1633
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: seems like you're you're not gonna get a lot of

1634
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: bang for your bucket. I don't want to say buck

1635
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: because I don't really care about the money of it all.

1636
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: But I don't know. It just seems a little bit curious.

1637
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: It's given him a chance to come in and you know,

1638
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: rebuild his brand or for lack of a better word.

1639
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know. One year deal, how much is

1640
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: he gonna play. I don't know, a little curious. Yeah.

1641
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a great move for the Patriots. Okay,

1642
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 1: I just want to Okay, Patriots. I want to join

1643
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots. You haven't seen the contract yet. How can

1644
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: you say that it's great. It's a great deal. It's

1645
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: one year, you can always get out. Good move for

1646
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Solid don't percent get it, But that's really

1647
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 1: good move. Like I said earlier in the show, I'm

1648
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: not going to change my opinion now after they actually

1649
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: signed the guy. Anytime you can add good players to

1650
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: your roster, I'm sort of for it. Yeah. So I

1651
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: think I think Jabrill Peppers. I don't think he's a

1652
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: great player, but I think he's a good one. See

1653
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: where he fits. I'll always take a swing on a

1654
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: former first round pick's healthy. If he's healthy and he's good,

1655
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: and then he leaves, I just you know, it goes

1656
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: back to it goes back to the call from William

1657
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 1: of of. I think I think fans probably want more

1658
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: guys to kind of latch onto and have our guys

1659
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: and ore that were, you know, our stars. And I

1660
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: think it's a little hard right now. I mean, I

1661
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: think Judean built a little bit of that up, but

1662
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: I think they need more. I wonder if it was

1663
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: a one year deal, because that's what Peppers wanted. Maybe

1664
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 1: he didn't get much interest. You know, here we are,

1665
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, two and a half weeks in, maybe there

1666
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: weren't wasn't much interest, and he said, well I'll take

1667
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: I'll take a one year deal, chance to get back

1668
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: on the market. It's also interesting they want to one

1669
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: year deal. Not I can't. I can't make this stuff up.

1670
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: I just can't make it up. Mark Daniels, this is

1671
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: a really good signing for the Patriots. Peppers played more

1672
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 1: in the slot last season, Like just what, just one

1673
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: time I want someone to say, I'm not sure I

1674
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: get this one. You don't have to tell me it's

1675
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: a terrible move because it's not a terrible move. It's

1676
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: not a terrible move, but just once can somebody that

1677
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: covers this team say, I'm not sure I get this one.

1678
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: This isn't really sure he gets it? Yeah, well, on

1679
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: a one year deal because and also too, I think

1680
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the two year deals you're seeing that

1681
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: they're able to kind of spread out that CAP's money

1682
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. So it's you know, you're not eating

1683
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: and so whatever this contract is, it's all, it's all

1684
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: coming out of this year. It's just interesting. So Patriots

1685
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 1: signing Jabrill Peppers. So tell me the Patriots aren't doing

1686
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 1: anything of free agency. Let's go to where they are. Todd,

1687
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 1: North Carolina, what's up, Todd? Well, first of all, thank

1688
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: you guys for being in the doldrums of the football year.

1689
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 1: I know that this is exciting to see. If you

1690
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: think this is bad, way, don't you see it like

1691
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: May June. Anyway, My question is I've been watching some

1692
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: games and I noticed that a lot of little slot

1693
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: guys go right across loss the field. And I remember

1694
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,879
Speaker 1: in the olden days, back when you know there's two thousands,

1695
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: those guys would get lit up, what is the rule exactly?

1696
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: When where can you hit a receiver if he if

1697
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: he comes off the line, can you get him just

1698
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: at the line or what if he doesn't have the ball?

1699
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 1: You can't hit him past five yards? You know so?

1700
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: And then if you're on the field, and but that

1701
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: hasn't changed, there's no rule change on that. No, so

1702
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 1: you can't hit him past five yards. And then obviously

1703
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: you can't hit him above the shoulders, right head any time,

1704
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: head or neck area anytime. Um, you know so you can,

1705
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: like I've seen guys you can't, and you can't leave

1706
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: with your helmet, and virtually anytime you get hit hard,

1707
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 1: a flag's gonna come. No, no, no, Because I've been

1708
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,560
Speaker 1: watching the Thank you mich I've seen a lot of

1709
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 1: guys get lit up over the middle, clean head and

1710
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 1: clean hits, and almost every time a flag come. I

1711
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 1: don't think so almost every time, not every time. There's

1712
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: always exceptions. I might. I'm just sick of being like,

1713
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: that was a great hit and that's a penalty. Oh,

1714
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 1: especially if the ball is incomplete. The only chance you

1715
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: have of not being a flag if the guy holds on.

1716
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 1: It's like somehow the referee says, well, it couldn't have

1717
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: been that bad because he caught it. Yeah. Well, if

1718
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 1: it's incomplete, the balls by him and he gets hit,

1719
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 1: that's the defenseless, uh you know player. Yeah right, that's

1720
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 1: just that's the part that's changed. What's talking quite a

1721
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: few hits that would have been totally legal, and it's

1722
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: just you just got him too good. You got him

1723
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 1: too good, him too hard. Yeah. Yeah. And my next

1724
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 1: one is you guys actually touched on this about you know,

1725
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: Croft maybe having a little bit more influence than what's

1726
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: going on in the matters because of the way things

1727
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: are progressing, with the the lack of well winning, I guess,

1728
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: or or the scene of progress. You think he's actually

1729
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: dipping his fingers in and kind of pushing Bill a

1730
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 1: little bit with his comments, or do you just think

1731
01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 1: that this is just a normal look. I want to win.

1732
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: We're a winning team and that's what I'm about. I

1733
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: think I think his comments are pushing Bill, and I

1734
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: think he's not just doing it publicly. I think he's

1735
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: doing it privately. And but I don't think he's meddling,

1736
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think, yeah, I don't think he's meddling,

1737
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: But I think he's expressing the concern that we all have,

1738
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 1: and he wants I think he wants people to know

1739
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 1: that he shares that concern. Like he's not just like

1740
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: happy with not winning playoff games. That doesn't make him happy.

1741
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: He wants he wants the fan base to know that

1742
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: their owner gives a crap there. You know, maybe that's

1743
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: what Bill's doing, trying to get the team winning instead

1744
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: of this whole thing. Well he's trying to go after

1745
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: the record. Maybe he's actually being responding to what you know,

1746
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:39,640
Speaker 1: his boss is telling him to do. Get out there,

1747
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: get me some wins, get me in the playoffs, win

1748
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: the playoff game. Yeah, so maybe some fans got to

1749
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 1: step back a little bit and stop freaking out like me. Yeah. Now,

1750
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:51,919
Speaker 1: And the question is, like we talked about it last year, patience,

1751
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, do you do that? Do you you know?

1752
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: Do you do that? You know in spite of building

1753
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 1: for the long term, where's that balance? And you wonder, like,

1754
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, but the beauty of it all is I

1755
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: don't think Bill gives up. He doesn't feel that pressure

1756
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: like no, but like he's not gonna oh you know,

1757
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft has to win now. Point I'm going to

1758
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,600
Speaker 1: alter how I want to build this team. No, you know,

1759
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna do what he thinks. You know it's cliche now,

1760
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: but in the best interest of the team. Do you

1761
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: think that he felt pressure, not from Robert Kraft last year,

1762
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: but from Tom Brady's success. Uh, he's human. I can't

1763
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: believe that he didn't human. I think he's human. He's competitive,

1764
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 1: I do, but I also don't buy into the ninety

1765
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 1: eight five that like he had to answer Tom Brady.

1766
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: I think that's what that's I think that was his goal.

1767
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: But well he didn't he didn't want to see. But

1768
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 1: I think that was what that was what he said

1769
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,800
Speaker 1: out that. I think that's why he's he's signed Cam

1770
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: Newton because I think he felt like, I'm gonna bring

1771
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 1: him back and I'm gonna get all these guys and

1772
01:29:58,360 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna and I'm gonna bring him all in for

1773
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. And then it was like, I didn't really

1774
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 1: work out that way. Mac is better. I'm probably not

1775
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: going able to win the Super Bowl, but this is

1776
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: what I have to do because back to Fred's thing,

1777
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,680
Speaker 1: it's it's better for the team. Yeah, but I think

1778
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: that was his goal. Was to take a run. Sure,

1779
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 1: you don't sign Cam Newton for long term. You know

1780
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: that was a win now signing, but because of Brady,

1781
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 1: like when you sent Gronk and now you sent Jack Mason.

1782
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but but I still think that, Like he's

1783
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 1: a human being and wins the super Bowl. It's like,

1784
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 1: you can't say that it didn't look worse for Bill

1785
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: when Brady leaves and immediately wins the super Bowl. It did.

1786
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 1: But what is an answer for Bill to answer Brady?

1787
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 1: He has to win the Sea failed, That's what and

1788
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what last year was all about. So

1789
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:46,120
Speaker 1: he's trying to win the super Bowl? Yes, every because

1790
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,959
Speaker 1: of Brady? Well, every, Yes, I think that added incentive.

1791
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm with Fred, I'm with you, Fred. Yeah, I agree

1792
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: with you. You know, I think he's a human being

1793
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 1: and but but the question is how much does that

1794
01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:58,720
Speaker 1: altar what he knows is tried and true, right, And

1795
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it does. Yeah, you know, so what

1796
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: did he do different? Then? You know, what did he

1797
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: really Like? I don't know, I just spent like all

1798
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 1: these us Brady more than he wants to just win

1799
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: the Super But I think there was an opportunity going

1800
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,879
Speaker 1: back to Cam Newton. I think it was an opportunity.

1801
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:18,719
Speaker 1: He took a flyer, like maybe maybe it comes full circle.

1802
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 1: Maybe guy can find some of the magic that he

1803
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 1: had and we can go on a little run here.

1804
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: And it didn't work out. That was not work by

1805
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: the way, that was another year two. Yeah, year two

1806
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:31,559
Speaker 1: be better. Year two. Year two? Well, no, who Cam,

1807
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Cam Newton. That was the thought that whole

1808
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: don't say that. It wasn't everybody thought everybody not me, Fred,

1809
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: our show is very balanced and impartially. I was shocked

1810
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: when they resigned it. So was I. But our show,

1811
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: it's like, what are we doing. I'm not trying to

1812
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:50,759
Speaker 1: like tell everybody, you know, we should be winning awards

1813
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: or anything, but our show if nothing else is balanced

1814
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 1: and impartial. Yeah, okay, yeah, everybody else. And you have

1815
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:01,839
Speaker 1: to admit this if you read it for Mike REESEO,

1816
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 1: Mark Daniels or Jeff hat another year in the system,

1817
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: he's going to be much more comfortable in the off

1818
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: season having learned the whole offer. It's going to be

1819
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: better in year two. That was the narrative quote unquote

1820
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:17,679
Speaker 1: on Cam Newton. And then they signed him. Remember Yeah,

1821
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:21,719
Speaker 1: this is what people talked about the entirety of the offseason.

1822
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Cam will be better. Remember our pal Betty Love, you know,

1823
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 1: killing us, you know every day when we weren't saying

1824
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 1: that he was getting starting reps because he you know,

1825
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing anything the same. It was the same,

1826
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 1: but that was the narrative. Head He looked at training camp,

1827
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: it will be better in year two because there'll be

1828
01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 1: more comfortable in the system. Immediately, he looked no better

1829
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 1: than a rookie, and that meant and we all said,

1830
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: if everything's even, you know, right, Yeah, if you're even,

1831
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: you're leaving them right. And he was leaving you know,

1832
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 1: he's perfect. Mac looked just as good as he did.

1833
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 1: They had both had good days, they had bad days, right,

1834
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: And I said that, and I think the right test.

1835
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:03,680
Speaker 1: I think I made that comment, like I continue to

1836
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,040
Speaker 1: see no difference between these two and that's a massive

1837
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: indictment of Cam Newton that a rookie looks exactly the

1838
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,560
Speaker 1: same as he does. Yeah, now I was wrong. I

1839
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: was wrong. I thought that I thought that Mac was

1840
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to, you know, clearly beat him out for

1841
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: Bill to make the move, because you're not a watcher

1842
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 1: and like observer of nag the way Eric, I thought

1843
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:28,760
Speaker 1: he'd go with that hid it. I know you did,

1844
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 1: but I thought as as long as they were even

1845
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 1: that Mac, I mean, Bill would stick with the veteran,

1846
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but I was wrong, and

1847
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. See, I don't know why I was wrong.

1848
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that you were wrong, because I really

1849
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:43,640
Speaker 1: think that it could have unfolded dramatically differently if not

1850
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 1: for COVID. You mean when when Cam went out, I

1851
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 1: think that was it. Yeah, I think that was it. Ye,

1852
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:52,080
Speaker 1: but that was last year. I mean that was the

1853
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: first year. That was the summer when when he went

1854
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 1: out and Mac against the Giants because he also had

1855
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 1: COVID in the first season, right, but training camp was

1856
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,720
Speaker 1: completely disrupted by him. Yeah, that's true. And I think

1857
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: that was that caused Bill to take a step back

1858
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: and say, I can't do this. Yeah, it's not good

1859
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 1: enough to do this. I can't rely on him. I

1860
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:12,240
Speaker 1: can't rely on him. I think that, like to you,

1861
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:14,680
Speaker 1: So I wasn't wrong, yeah, and I'm not listening. You

1862
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 1: weren't right. You weren't right either, But I don't necessarily

1863
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 1: think you were wrong. Yeah, you know, like, uh, did

1864
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 1: you happen to catch the SPFW that's ripping me? Um.

1865
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:30,640
Speaker 1: How many wins did you predict the team to have

1866
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:32,720
Speaker 1: last year? I've said ten and seven? Right? And did

1867
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 1: did people laugh at you for that? No? Okay, thank you.

1868
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 1: I really appreciate the honesty of that answer. I never

1869
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 1: laughed at you. Nobody laughed. Because I thought they were

1870
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 1: going to be a playoff. I didn't think they would

1871
01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:45,519
Speaker 1: win ten games six wins from Erica. Yeah, but I

1872
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:49,640
Speaker 1: thought nine like he thought ten. Like, I don't know

1873
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 1: they're getting because you know my snarkiness, Like, you know,

1874
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 1: people don't like it. Because when I was telling you

1875
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,680
Speaker 1: that the seven game winning streak was a little right suspect. Yeah,

1876
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 1: and I ended up being right yea. So now people

1877
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 1: were saying that I'm taking credit for being right when

1878
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 1: I was all wrong last year. I wasn't all wrong

1879
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: last year. I thought they would be on they would

1880
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: be in the playoff hunt and have a chance for

1881
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 1: a playoff, and that's ultimately what they did. Yep, they

1882
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 1: got into the playoffs. I thought they'd be putting up

1883
01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 1: a billboard about the bills. So I mean I was wrong, right,

1884
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:25,679
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to I just wanted to address

1885
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 1: that one because I am wrong about a lot of things,

1886
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 1: and I really don't have a whole big problem admitting it.

1887
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things that I was like, Yeah,

1888
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: I didn't see Richard Seymour being a Hall of Fame

1889
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 1: player when they drafted him, like to go all the

1890
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 1: way back in the way back machine. Yeah, there's a

1891
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: lot of things that people are wrong about. There's nothing

1892
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: wrong with I still thought Robert Gallery was gonna be good.

1893
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with saying that you were wrong. I

1894
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:50,560
Speaker 1: thought we didn't need Dante high Tier because we have

1895
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 1: branded spikes. There's a million of those. Yeah, ROSSI is

1896
01:35:55,880 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: one of my mock brass. Let's go to Jeff in California. Hey, Jeff, Yeah,

1897
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 1: is what's going on? Hey, Paul, you must have been

1898
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: reading my mind there when I was on hold, because

1899
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:11,560
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I was calling in was to

1900
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 1: give you props for calling out all the fraud last week.

1901
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 1: They one hundred percent are mad at you because you

1902
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,760
Speaker 1: were right. Oh yeah, it's clear as day. People are

1903
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 1: just so sensitive about that. To anybody that wants to

1904
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: just kind of evaluate things, realistically, it's like you looked

1905
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 1: at that wind Streak. I was the same way. I'm like,

1906
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 1: they're not as good as this wind streak, and people

1907
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:42,760
Speaker 1: just got so that was a good one, I really.

1908
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean the very first win of that wind Streak

1909
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:49,120
Speaker 1: was the only one. I was really impressed with the Chargers. Yeah,

1910
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 1: that was a really good win with no asterisk. Like

1911
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers had most of their players, you had most

1912
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,719
Speaker 1: of yours. You went on the road, you were trailing

1913
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and you found a way to

1914
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:00,120
Speaker 1: win the game. I thought the Falcons was a good win.

1915
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,719
Speaker 1: Thursday night on the road. You shut out another team,

1916
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: but it's terrible, terrible team, you know, but you still

1917
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: it's still a tough spot. And they shut him out,

1918
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:14,120
Speaker 1: they shut him out healthy. Then yeah, maybe okay, then

1919
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 1: maybe I would have felt different. They had any players

1920
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: of any significance playing other than Mat I mean even

1921
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: Cordarrol Patterson didn't play that night. That's true. No, I

1922
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: like the Browns win. Yeah, I don't like him anymore.

1923
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 1: He's not my guy no more. Bred Just remember you know,

1924
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 1: uh did uh Isaiah win uh Pro Bowl? Guard? At minimum?

1925
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: And it's still it's still on the table still on

1926
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: the table when you when you goes to right guard,

1927
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 1: Win goes to to left guard, and then they draft

1928
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: a left tup done. What what was my everybody out

1929
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,599
Speaker 1: of position? What was my bad? Bull? You had to win?

1930
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 1: Prediction of that? I thought you last year, maybe it

1931
01:37:58,120 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 1: was even the year before you thought Win was gonna

1932
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 1: is going to come on. His floor is a pro bowl,

1933
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: I think maybe even all pro guard. Yeah, that's just floor.

1934
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:09,360
Speaker 1: Jeff is right, that's what Fred. But if they never

1935
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 1: play him at guard, I can't be wrong. That's the

1936
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 1: beauty of us wrong, that's the beauty of us. Right,

1937
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 1: that's that's the beauty. Just when you thought you had

1938
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 1: the answers, I changed the questions. That's right. That's the

1939
01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 1: beauty of the thread model of arguing of just move

1940
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 1: the goal posts. All right, that's alright, alright, alright, alright,

1941
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 1: that's going too far. I like you before, but not anymore.

1942
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 1: Jeff about it. It's funny because he brings that up

1943
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: and like and and all accurate of what you're saying.

1944
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:40,120
Speaker 1: And I just I don't feel like they were as

1945
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 1: good as they were in that wind streak. And I

1946
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 1: don't feel like they were as bad as they were

1947
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:46,160
Speaker 1: at the end, and the truth is, you know, somewhere

1948
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of of what they actually were, I

1949
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,280
Speaker 1: would agree. I would agree with that, as bad as

1950
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 1: it looked at the end where you can't even force

1951
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:55,719
Speaker 1: a punt like But here's my question. But I agree

1952
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 1: with you. I don't think they were as bad as

1953
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,679
Speaker 1: they played in the last five weeks of the season.

1954
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,759
Speaker 1: But what do you think is close? Well it here's

1955
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 1: the thing. They lost four the last five games, right

1956
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 1: or five out of the last six or something like that.

1957
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,840
Speaker 1: The game that they won, they pasted the Jaguars because

1958
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 1: the Jaguars absolutely stink. Oh and by the way, were

1959
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: absolutely ravaged Mike ovid right, you know, so even bad

1960
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: players weren't playing, you know, so they did like they

1961
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: would you know, I forget the score, but they just

1962
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 1: a yeah, it was it was fifty fourth. It was ridiculous.

1963
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 1: But those teams that they lost to the Bill you know,

1964
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 1: Bills twice, the Colts, and the Dolphins, all teams in

1965
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: the hunt for playoff spot, and the Patriots got man handled. Right. Well,

1966
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 1: that's the thing. You can't and that's why I agree

1967
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 1: with Mike. I don't think they're as bad as that.

1968
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 1: Like they really weren't overly competitive in those full losses, right,

1969
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 1: Like the score at times got reasonably close, but they

1970
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 1: were to use your word, many games. And that Colts

1971
01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 1: game that was the end. That was it. I mean

1972
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:01,080
Speaker 1: you went in there and like, you know, this team

1973
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: that's putting up banners for like no reason, just absolutely

1974
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: they you know, they really got to appreciate how you

1975
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: can get a shot in at the team that manhandled

1976
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:14,200
Speaker 1: and and I'm sure not only that the mistakes of

1977
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 1: early in the season that you thought you had put

1978
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 1: behind you came back. They started doing those again. You know,

1979
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,560
Speaker 1: that's hard to square. Is just that a team that

1980
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,680
Speaker 1: hammers the bad team hammers them like embarrassing, right, but

1981
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,280
Speaker 1: then gets embarrassed by the good teams. And you know,

1982
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,799
Speaker 1: and and that's why I guess I think it speaks

1983
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:36,080
Speaker 1: more to the chemistry. How can you not let the

1984
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: same team not punt right in two games? How can that?

1985
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen that happen. And though I don't think

1986
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 1: it's I think it is, especially a division opponent where

1987
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: there's no surprise. Well, you know that two years, two

1988
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: times every year Playoff one to me was particularly embarrassing

1989
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: because it was a touchdown, like what's going on there? What? Like,

1990
01:40:56,720 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 1: what is going on there? And conceivably, if the field

1991
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 1: was like three thousand yards long, they could have run

1992
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,760
Speaker 1: the whole clock out because they never would have stopped him.

1993
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 1: You know, if Bill doesn't think that's who they are,

1994
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:08,719
Speaker 1: then there's got to be a reason why that happened.

1995
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 1: I know. Well, I was laughing too about that that

1996
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:12,360
Speaker 1: famous thing of well, we'll find out next year when

1997
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,320
Speaker 1: we start playing again. And I guess we didn't take

1998
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: it that way at the time, but he's bringing the

1999
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:17,760
Speaker 1: same team back, so that that was what he meant, right,

2000
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: And then they wouldn't touch that question, right because Reese

2001
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:22,680
Speaker 1: tried to get him on that, right. Yeah, he never

2002
01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: he wouldn't go there, you know. Yeah, But I just

2003
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:27,679
Speaker 1: I think it's and I know that there's a talent

2004
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 1: debate about needing more talent, but to me, that speaks

2005
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,800
Speaker 1: more about the team, you know, the chemistry the well

2006
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: and I'll touch on that for second, Mike, if you

2007
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:43,760
Speaker 1: if you don't like when that Colts game and they

2008
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, coming out of that Colts game, if you

2009
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: remember that was the game coming off the buy and

2010
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk about the oddities of

2011
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 1: that particular buy because they had played I think on

2012
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,880
Speaker 1: the Monday night, right, the blizzard gather the tornado or

2013
01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: whatever in Buffalo was the Monday night and then they

2014
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 1: played on Saturday. Do you remember what the players talking

2015
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 1: about the abnormalities of that bond? That's not Patriots talk. Now,

2016
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 1: they might do it internally, right, Bill might have it

2017
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 1: up on the screens for them to say, like, this

2018
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:15,360
Speaker 1: is why they're out to get you, it's us against

2019
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: the world that and that's that's worked well for them

2020
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:21,320
Speaker 1: in the past, right, But they were openly talking about it, right,

2021
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: And I think that was the game after the game

2022
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 1: that Max said we got to stop feeling sorry for

2023
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 1: ourselves or something along those lines. Remember, right, what are

2024
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,639
Speaker 1: you feeling sorry about? Right? And No, but I think

2025
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:34,600
Speaker 1: Mac was right. I know, I don't say that to

2026
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: another size Mac. I think Mac accurately portrayed based on

2027
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: what happened. No, I'm Mac had a good handle on

2028
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 1: what was going on and what could you possibly feeling

2029
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 1: sorry for yourself about it? And I think he was accurate.

2030
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: I think he had an accurate portrayal of some of

2031
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 1: the mentality that was in the locker room, and I

2032
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 1: remember we talked about it in that week and then

2033
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 1: the weeks going forward with Matthew Slater talking about, you know,

2034
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,040
Speaker 1: we have we have a choice. We can pass. I

2035
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 1: could up go home and quit, or we can fight.

2036
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 1: I know what I'm gonna do. I don't know what.

2037
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: And I remember Eric and I was saying, this really

2038
01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:11,719
Speaker 1: concerns me, and you telling me why. Wow. Now again,

2039
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't bring that up to talk about it.

2040
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't bring it up to talk about an argument.

2041
01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 1: I bring it up to say I think Mike is

2042
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: right when he talks about there were some things in

2043
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 1: the locker room that were a little bit different than

2044
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 1: we normally see. And I wonder if some of these guys,

2045
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, you brought in a whole bunch of significant

2046
01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: players that are new to hear to the way they

2047
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 1: do things here, and they they have like they have

2048
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:40,640
Speaker 1: a status based on their contracts. Right like aggila Or

2049
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 1: may not have done anything, but he's getting paid. It

2050
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: ain't going anywhere. Well, you're gonna eat a lot of money.

2051
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 1: The thing about it, though, I'd just use aggle Or

2052
01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:49,280
Speaker 1: as an example, not that I think he was part

2053
01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: of the problem. I have no idea. Those things that

2054
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,839
Speaker 1: we're pointing out here are things you hear from teams

2055
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,760
Speaker 1: that are having trouble at the end of the season. Yeah,

2056
01:43:57,960 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you hear. And and to be fair,

2057
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 1: it's it's not just last season, it's the last three

2058
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:07,600
Speaker 1: seasons that they've really sputtered down, not done what you

2059
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: traditionally think of the Patriots. And you know again it's

2060
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, I know that they need talent and speed

2061
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:15,640
Speaker 1: and all those things, but that's that's what lingers. The

2062
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 1: bad taste that lingers is just something felt off about

2063
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,640
Speaker 1: this chemistry. This This wasn't a team that circled the

2064
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:25,559
Speaker 1: wagons fought you. And it's just it's the disparity between

2065
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: having that Jacksonville game right in the middle where it's

2066
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 1: like we got nothing, we got nothing, we got oh

2067
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 1: well hammer the jack no problem, we got that one.

2068
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh we got nothing again like that, Like that's just

2069
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,600
Speaker 1: the Miami game to me was really eye opening, like

2070
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 1: that they couldn't say, Okay, we got our swagger back

2071
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 1: last week, let's go down to Miami and take care

2072
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:44,680
Speaker 1: of business. Right. I couldn't do it. Uh, Cody, and

2073
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:48,960
Speaker 1: Fresno writes in I absolutely love the statement from mister Kraft.

2074
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,320
Speaker 1: To hear him talk about how much losing bothers him

2075
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,080
Speaker 1: and how he thinks long term success is built through

2076
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 1: the draft gives me hope as a fan. In my mind,

2077
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:59,599
Speaker 1: this is a direct call out to the draft staff,

2078
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 1: put them on notice and demanding better from everyone involved

2079
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 1: with selecting future Patriots. He gives he gave his props

2080
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:09,599
Speaker 1: for the recent success, which is great because that sets

2081
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: the expectation. We need difference makers, players with ability who

2082
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: will stay and develop for the long term. Kraft knows it,

2083
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,439
Speaker 1: the fans know it. Let's go get it. I'm fired up.

2084
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:23,120
Speaker 1: Let's go it really is I mean, I think as

2085
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,479
Speaker 1: a fan the biggest thing I would be afraid of

2086
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: was the Jeremy Jacob's style of ownership of you know,

2087
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 1: not really caring about winning, just kind of wanting to

2088
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: be competitive. You know, we'll pay when we have to,

2089
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 1: but we're not gonna shell out big bucks. Like as

2090
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 1: a fan, that feels like a death sentence. And I think,

2091
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:43,920
Speaker 1: you know what mister Kraft said today, hit hit the

2092
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,720
Speaker 1: right time. Asked to choose between those two options, I'll

2093
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 1: take Craft every time. I gotta share something with Paul

2094
01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 1: right now. So we were talking about the Will Smith

2095
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 1: memes that are going around with the snap. Well, I

2096
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:57,760
Speaker 1: just found my wife off the top rope the best

2097
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 1: one yet, Missus Kittner. Oh nice giving it to Mark Brody.

2098
01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:06,519
Speaker 1: I like it, Thank you, thank you, Delane. She gets

2099
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 1: she gets me, but I've never met out. It's a

2100
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: big part of the show, especially on Sundays. Fred. Yeah,

2101
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:15,960
Speaker 1: I saw I heard one of your shows yesterday, Paul

2102
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 1: think saying that that Will Smith thing was, uh, you know,

2103
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:22,720
Speaker 1: put on No Way again one of my shows. It

2104
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 1: was real, that was on. I know they're all your shows,

2105
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 1: they're all your shows used to be my show back Channel,

2106
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 1: and there's no way that was fake. That was absolutely

2107
01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:37,720
Speaker 1: for real. No. But I definitely would rather have my

2108
01:46:37,880 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: owner be really concerned about winning rather than the bottom line. Yeah, um,

2109
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,799
Speaker 1: and I agree. I think Robert Kraft first and foremost

2110
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: is a fan and wants to win, and Jeremy Jake

2111
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: Ebb's first and foremost as a businessman who wants to

2112
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:53,640
Speaker 1: make money, and I would rather have Craft. However, I

2113
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't really mind at all if I never heard from

2114
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 1: my owner, like, I don't need to hear what his

2115
01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 1: thoughts are on the philosophy fees of winning. Like, I

2116
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 1: think it's great that Robert spoke today, and you know

2117
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,040
Speaker 1: that that's it's it's nice to have an organization step

2118
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 1: up and have their head coach and their owner at

2119
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,720
Speaker 1: the owner's meetings. They're taking accountability. Nothing wrong with that.

2120
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: But I if I'm if I'm a fan of the team,

2121
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't need but I don't need

2122
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 1: my owner. But if you're a fan of the team

2123
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 1: and things aren't going well, don't you want to hear

2124
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,160
Speaker 1: the owner from the head coach. That's all. That's all

2125
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: I care about. You only want to hear from the

2126
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 1: owner when and he fires the head coach. Yepkay, that

2127
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 1: tells me that he wasn't happy with the performance, right

2128
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 1: and you know to the to the email is uh

2129
01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 1: you know point that tells him that Robert is putting

2130
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 1: them on notice. So you think if they have a

2131
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 1: bad draft this year, they're out. Because there's no chance

2132
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 1: that they're out. No, a mere first Bill decides to

2133
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 1: leave a mere from Haifa writes in while I understand

2134
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 1: the idea behind the OT rule, change. I'm not sure

2135
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 1: past results suggest it's a really it's really warranted. In

2136
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:58,200
Speaker 1: the past decade, there were twelve playoffs which went into

2137
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: overtime only seven of them. Of them were decided over

2138
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:03,639
Speaker 1: the first possession. Yeah, ten of them by the guy

2139
01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 1: the team that won the toss. Also, please tell Bighead

2140
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: that his new co host sounds like a seven year

2141
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: old negative child. Maybe it works for sports radio, but

2142
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't fit a podcast. Who is that? Who is it?

2143
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 1: I thought he did it with? Um Ryan's gone? Ryan left? Yeah,

2144
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 1: took a job at a one of those betting places

2145
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,680
Speaker 1: in the dream. Apparently everybody's gonna go there. Oh, I man,

2146
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:31,840
Speaker 1: I had some great interactions with him last night. I'm surprised, Paul,

2147
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 1: you haven't had offers. Well, just so you know, I

2148
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:35,920
Speaker 1: might be looking into it. After that. Oh, they told

2149
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: Ryan don't work too much? Yeah, uh so, who's really

2150
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 1: into work life balance and not overworking. I did a

2151
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:45,880
Speaker 1: few things on Sunday night a few weeks ago, and

2152
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,560
Speaker 1: my boss basically inferred to not do that again. The

2153
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: Friday of March Madness, they said to start working once

2154
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: the game started. I said, any job openings, that's funny. Um,

2155
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: who's the new co hostn't? I don't have to double

2156
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:05,120
Speaker 1: check if somebody knows it's not Mutt, is it? I

2157
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: honestly don't know, Like I haven't heard it, and Andy

2158
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 1: hasn't asked me. I don't know any since Ryan's last

2159
01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:13,840
Speaker 1: podcast with Andy. That's the last time I was on

2160
01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:20,360
Speaker 1: it with them. Yeah, man, um, let's see Sean and Vancouver. Hello, Fred,

2161
01:49:20,439 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 1: Mike and Paul. Is Eric okay? Yes, he's flying back

2162
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: from the owners meeting. He's fine. If Jacob Johnson is

2163
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 1: right and the Patriots won't use a true fullback in

2164
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, I'd love to see them use formations

2165
01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:34,759
Speaker 1: that lead to less predictability. Have John block a couple

2166
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,599
Speaker 1: of times and then sneak out for pass. Have Harrison

2167
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 1: White in the backfield so they can run or pass

2168
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 1: based on what they see from their opponent. Maybe even

2169
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: Stevenson with Harrison two more three wide receiver sets keep

2170
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:50,320
Speaker 1: defenses on their toes. Yeah, it wasn't that the predominant

2171
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:52,559
Speaker 1: set last year? Three wide receivers. Yeah, and I'd say

2172
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of what they do with John too. But

2173
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: you know, again, I think it's just this is still

2174
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 1: in that same area of wanting to like elevate the

2175
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: offense and have an offense that's you know, a modern

2176
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:06,800
Speaker 1: NFL offense that's got some cutting edge kind of stuff

2177
01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: to it, and you know, we'll see what it looks like. Yeah.

2178
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:14,560
Speaker 1: The whole tricking, you know, tricking teams, keeping teams on

2179
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: their toes offensively by being less predictive, be less predictable

2180
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:21,680
Speaker 1: offensively with your play calling is the equivalent of We've

2181
01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: got to get a guy in a you know, a cheap,

2182
01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: team friendly deal. Yeah, it's all like, if you have players,

2183
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't care what they cost, right, And if you

2184
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:31,920
Speaker 1: have players, I don't care if the other team knows

2185
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,439
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I'm going to win because I have

2186
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 1: players that are better than the guys covering them. Jacket

2187
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:40,400
Speaker 1: in Arbor, I suspect that the reason why the Patriots

2188
01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 1: don't like Dugger as a kick returner is that kick

2189
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:46,439
Speaker 1: returners is exposed to a heightened risk of injury. The

2190
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:49,599
Speaker 1: Patriots value Dugger too much as a safety to expose

2191
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 1: them to increase risk of injury while returning kicks. I

2192
01:50:52,160 --> 01:50:55,760
Speaker 1: can absolutely one thousand percent guarantee you that that is

2193
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,679
Speaker 1: not the case. Really, that's not why Kyle Dugger isn't

2194
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:03,879
Speaker 1: a returner. Bill has used guys in that capacity countless

2195
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 1: times over the years, going back to Troy Brown, Wes Welker,

2196
01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, Julian Edelman coming off an injury, Danny Amendola.

2197
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 1: That's not what If he thought Kyle Dugger was the

2198
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: best option, he'd be doing it. I barely even see him.

2199
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 1: I like, I'm trying to remember a little bit. But

2200
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 1: he returns a ton in practice I've never seen like.

2201
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: I don't even think we need a play right now.

2202
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:30,040
Speaker 1: Just throw him back there to see. I don't know

2203
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 1: if I've ever seen him even do a punt in

2204
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: a preseason game. I'm not sure I have. I don't

2205
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,040
Speaker 1: think I've seen him do kicks periodically, but not punts.

2206
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:39,960
Speaker 1: And I want to see him as a punt returner.

2207
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:41,720
Speaker 1: We've seen more of him as a punt returner than

2208
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:44,080
Speaker 1: to kill Harry, and we started to kill Harry do

2209
01:51:44,120 --> 01:51:47,320
Speaker 1: it in a game. But but in all seriousness, Bill

2210
01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:52,280
Speaker 1: does not save guys from special teams roles to prevent

2211
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 1: them from being injured. He believes in using the best

2212
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: players in those roles, and he always has. It's also

2213
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: just possible that Kyle Dugger at the department store, that

2214
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 1: he went to college, that he was just that much

2215
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 1: better than all those guys and an NFL level. They're like,

2216
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 1: he's not. He doesn't have the quickness of the instincts

2217
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 1: to do it at the NFL level. That's that's possible too. Yeah,

2218
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the instincts of a gun Rolschewsky, Kevin writes.

2219
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: Kevin writes in doesn't say where he's from, which Eric

2220
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: does not like. Uh, he says, So, I know this

2221
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 1: won't get on the radio or anything, but I wanted

2222
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 1: to write you anyway. Patriots fans need to chill the

2223
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 1: f out out. I understand you guys being passionately upset

2224
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 1: about the Patriots free agent decisions, but these people are

2225
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:39,600
Speaker 1: actually emotionally hurt and angry because of the people they

2226
01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:43,360
Speaker 1: haven't gotten. Just a game you're watching TV. People, Relax,

2227
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect you at all, not even a little.

2228
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 1: It might affect you, guys a bit, because it's your

2229
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:52,200
Speaker 1: job to care. It's bad enough listening to Paul acting

2230
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:55,639
Speaker 1: like his world is burning. That's Paul, these random Thank

2231
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 1: God you don't speak for the rest of the fans.

2232
01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: It's all I can say. We would all be out

2233
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:01,040
Speaker 1: of a job. These ran them. People need to step

2234
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 1: away from the ledge since it seems like they are

2235
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:07,200
Speaker 1: literally suicidal. Calm down. It's a damn game that they

2236
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,600
Speaker 1: don't even play. Just enjoy watching the game, which I

2237
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 1: understand is more fun if we are better. But relax,

2238
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 1: Brady is gone and we aren't going to be as

2239
01:53:14,479 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: good pretty obvious. I bought a win of its jersey,

2240
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:19,600
Speaker 1: which I know wasn't the best choice to begin with,

2241
01:53:20,040 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 1: but I'm not crying myself to sleep because he got traded. Anyway.

2242
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 1: You guys are great. Just had to vent after listening

2243
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 1: to Thursday's show Jess again. Thank god that that's a

2244
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 1: vast minority opinion. Otherwise, what will we be doing? Yeah? Well,

2245
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:38,519
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't get too worked about free agency.

2246
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: I get people do, but like I get worked up

2247
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 1: about when we start talking about last season and like

2248
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 1: how it ended and that, like that whole conversation we

2249
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: had like the last That's what gets me, like, like

2250
01:53:47,720 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: what we get some of those calls on free agency?

2251
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,720
Speaker 1: Those are the things that that are frustrating. But but

2252
01:53:51,840 --> 01:53:53,639
Speaker 1: isn't that what it's all? About That's what it's all about,

2253
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:55,920
Speaker 1: and like being a sports fan, it's all about passion

2254
01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,679
Speaker 1: and emotion. Hell let it out for this than other

2255
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:04,160
Speaker 1: things in the world. Jake your friendly pool guy from Bendigo, Australia.

2256
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:06,640
Speaker 1: I know it's been a lot of free agency and

2257
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 1: draft talk of late, but after listening to the Edelman Cast,

2258
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:12,400
Speaker 1: it got me thinking, Yes, we may have two former

2259
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:15,160
Speaker 1: head coaches about to attempt to run some offense, but

2260
01:54:15,280 --> 01:54:17,600
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on bringing back old players to

2261
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: be in those top positions. I know they'll bring a

2262
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:23,240
Speaker 1: fresh perspective fingers crossed, but an ex player would know

2263
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:26,839
Speaker 1: our systems inside and out. That could help maybe extend

2264
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:29,960
Speaker 1: or broaden what is already in place. You're all a

2265
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:32,800
Speaker 1: bunch of bonds of blokes, keep up the ripper work.

2266
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 1: I think that was a compliment, right, I think, so

2267
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with that. Yeah, bonds of blokes.

2268
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they got to want to do it.

2269
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:41,640
Speaker 1: I just I think it's people want to just put

2270
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 1: players into coaching roles and it's such a grind. It's

2271
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 1: probably even more of a grind for the coaches than

2272
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: it is for the players. And you know, I would

2273
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:51,000
Speaker 1: imagine someone like Brian Hoy or everybody wants to make

2274
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:53,600
Speaker 1: the QB coaching. It's probably more appealing to him to

2275
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 1: be a player and not have to put in all

2276
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,440
Speaker 1: the extra hours that you know coaches do. But you

2277
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 1: know that, said West Welker, he's been you know, coaching.

2278
01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I would you never turn those guys down.

2279
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 1: But they got to want to do it. They got

2280
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:06,040
Speaker 1: to be invested to pay that kind of time in

2281
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 1: to be a coach. It's just like that's you know,

2282
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 1: a nightmare. Man. You see some of these older scouting

2283
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 1: assistants that come in and like, oh, they made a

2284
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 1: new hire on the staff, and you're like, oh, who's

2285
01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 1: this guy? And it's like a guy who looks like

2286
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:17,920
Speaker 1: he's in his mid forties. I'm like, oh my god,

2287
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 1: you know he's you know resetting. I mean even Bill O'Brien, right,

2288
01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 1: he came here kind of late as like an assistant.

2289
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:26,200
Speaker 1: He had coached. Um it was an offensive cord and

2290
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 1: it was probably here in eighteen hours a day, you know,

2291
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:32,360
Speaker 1: doing those things. Like I'm not a big advocate of

2292
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, you got to get some of the ex

2293
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:35,960
Speaker 1: players and making coaches. I think some of them that

2294
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 1: want to do it, and they do it, that's fine.

2295
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: Like Troy Brown is on the staff here, Wes Welker

2296
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: is a wide receivers coach. You know, Gerard Mayo is

2297
01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:46,840
Speaker 1: an ex player. But I don't need all the guys

2298
01:55:46,920 --> 01:55:49,640
Speaker 1: that are coaching to be guys that I watch play. Yeah,

2299
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need that. I think it's appealing

2300
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:53,840
Speaker 1: to have fresh set of eyes and and you know, different,

2301
01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 1: different scheme, attic input rather than just everybody who ran

2302
01:55:57,360 --> 01:56:00,160
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's offense. Sometime in the last ten years a

2303
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:03,839
Speaker 1: couple of emailers. Speed is among them and Josh and turners.

2304
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:07,600
Speaker 1: Fall says that Chris Shime is Andy's new co host. Oh,

2305
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 1: that's one of the producers. Shim Time's going around. I

2306
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,240
Speaker 1: know Chris, I know who he is. I don't really

2307
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:14,160
Speaker 1: know him. I really don't know how Matt Morrell doesn't

2308
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 1: have his own show yet because that's radio producers or

2309
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:20,480
Speaker 1: do the door cast. Everyone who produced wants the host.

2310
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 1: Everyone who wants the host wants to I don't know

2311
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:25,520
Speaker 1: host dance. When you get to be a host, you

2312
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:29,720
Speaker 1: don't ever leaves job in the world. Okay, I'm just kidding.

2313
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:34,520
Speaker 1: One more email, Reno writes in I was wondering why

2314
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything about Trey Flowers, not just for

2315
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:40,840
Speaker 1: us but in general. Also with what Kraft said this morning.

2316
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 1: Do you think Belichick will be on the hot seat

2317
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:46,520
Speaker 1: if we don't win a playoff game? No, but I

2318
01:56:46,600 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 1: think he could be in trouble if they have a

2319
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:52,440
Speaker 1: disastrous year. Yeah, like if they won like four games

2320
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:54,400
Speaker 1: and it just looked like a mass I could see

2321
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:58,640
Speaker 1: Robert saying, what are we doing? But no, if they

2322
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 1: don't make it, they don't win a playoff game, I mean,

2323
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:03,320
Speaker 1: Fred doesn't, I mean, this isn't even a shot. And

2324
01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 1: I didn't say this once the whole show. You don't

2325
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 1: think they're going to be in the hunt. So I

2326
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 1: don't see how you could at this moment, right right

2327
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 1: at this moment, I don't see how you could then

2328
01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:12,200
Speaker 1: turn around and say he needs to be fired if

2329
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 1: they don't win a playoff game and you don't even

2330
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:15,440
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be in the hunt. No, of course, not,

2331
01:57:17,480 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 1: of course, not, of course not. I don't know about you. This,

2332
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 1: This is a controversial. You might laugh at this, but

2333
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:27,440
Speaker 1: it's just football, and Bill knows football I think he

2334
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:29,680
Speaker 1: knows a little bit thick. He knows football. You might

2335
01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 1: laugh at that, Mike, and in places where you don't

2336
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 1: talk about at parties. Why are you both pointing at

2337
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:38,200
Speaker 1: me because you seem to have checked out trying to

2338
01:57:38,240 --> 01:57:40,280
Speaker 1: get you back in. It seem like you're trying to

2339
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 1: pull me to your side, just like lost all is.

2340
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:45,360
Speaker 1: And so I'm just clearing this the new eight team. Yeah,

2341
01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 1: that's right here, this is the show. Yeah, sorry, Eric,

2342
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:53,040
Speaker 1: you're up about the skies. He'll be all crying in

2343
01:57:53,080 --> 01:57:56,200
Speaker 1: this pillar. I don't think it's tiny. More time to

2344
01:57:56,280 --> 01:58:00,120
Speaker 1: do travel stuff. Word. Yeah, all right. That's gonna be

2345
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 1: it for this edition of Patriots Unfiltered. We'll be back
