I nail the hell 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: out of mostly Well. You go to break and he goes, 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: I don't know why you make me so mad. And 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: then he texted me the next day, I've been thinking 15 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: about it. I love you and I hate you. That 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: fifteen second SoundBite by Andy encapsulates PFW. He agreed with Christian, 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: but I still found a way to get in an 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: argument about things. And I told him he used to 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: call me the likable jerk. I think it was worse 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, I think it was. What they'll do 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: is they'll do something innocuous in their posts, but then 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: their screen name will be fred I after your mother 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: or something like that. I follow fred I after your mother. 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: It's funny. So I love college football. He has no 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: interest in it. The reason why I don't get into 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: college football in the fall is because I have what's 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: called a girlfriend. And this is Patriot's Unfiltered fueled by Duncan. 28 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: All right, I'm still I'm still recovering from that rocket 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: shot that I was gonna lead with. It was a 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: crazy show, but that was an all time moment when 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: I've been here. I wish I could have been there 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: for that, because then I could have piped in and 33 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: been like, well, I guess that's why I'm single, because 34 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: I love college football. The team, team bar, team bar. Anyway, 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: it is Thursday here at Gillette Stadium, and it's a 36 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: full crew.

We're on TV. One of those days 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: that we're on TV and no one said anything, Yeah, 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: we're on TV. I wish I would have known I 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: would have and dressed. That's behavior. Your dressed. You're not dressed. 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: I mean she means dressed. Yeah, well that's blind last 43 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: week you to put your shoes and socks on. Yes, yes, yes, 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: it's radio all right, um, but yeah it's Cleveland week here. 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah right, Yeah. I feel good about this one. Fred. 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: I don't often feel confident, but I think patriots are going. Yeah. 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: We we got off the show and we were walking 48 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: back to our places of work yesterday after the show, 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: and you were like, I'm I'm sure about this. What 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: was your tagline? Get even in Cleveland? Get Even in Cleveland? 51 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: I know I burned it on the ten to watch, 52 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: but I thought that was a good little thing. And 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's always like everybody's looking for 54 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: captions constantly, and like, you know, we need social media 55 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: captioned one. I like, so, hey, get back to three 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: and three and three. Well I already used it, so 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: they better not. Thinks is that your key to the 58 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: game too, Getting even? Yeah? No, no, it's just h 59 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: don't tell us, stop the run. Tell us what makes 60 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: you so certain? I don't know, I don't know. I 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: just have some confidence today. I feel like the Patriots 62 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: are playing well, and I think that. I think the 63 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: Browns like they got a good run team, but I 64 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: think they're one dimensional and I think based on when 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: we saw last week, I think they'll have a good 66 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: plan and kind of put the game on Brissette and 67 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be able to pull it out. 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's going to be a 69 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: walk in the park, but I think I'll pull away. 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: My thing about them is, isn't every team going to, 71 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, trying to put it on Brissette and yet 72 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: they still average one hundred and niney yards. Patriots will 73 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: do it. They'll do it. Then. Yeah, they got they 74 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: got the pieces, they got the talent, they got the commitment. 75 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: Three and three. Let's well. I mean, you know, you 76 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: listen to Bill yesterday talking about the Browns, and it 77 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: is true. Browns have a lot of talent on that team. 78 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: They do. That's why they went out and got Watson. 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: It felt like they had a time that was ready 80 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: to contend for, you know, the AFC title. It makes sense. Yeah, 81 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Garrett and Clowney have six injuries between 82 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: the two of them listed right now. So yeah, No, 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: important players didn't practice yesterday. I wouldn't worry both of them. 84 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: It was like shoulder bicep risk means Marylynck that's his alarm. Yeah, 85 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: alarm to say arm upper body. Joel Patonio, Jadevian Clowney 86 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: and Marii Cooper, Ronnie Harrison and Denzel Ward all didn't 87 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: practice Ship Chef Cleveland. Yeah, and it's gotten to the 88 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: point of j I even I laugh at it now 89 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: now it's as expected, good perfect nding up. Take these 90 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: while we can in the middle of the season. Um, 91 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: but I think they'll I think they'll play well. I 92 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: feel I feel confident. I don't know. I don't usually 93 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: I don't really found this drum. So we'll see what 94 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: it means. I think you're playing the role of Andy 95 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: actually Andy Hart, who actually was on the show yesterday. 96 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: But Andy used to do that, like whatever the last 97 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: return was. That's what he's based on. You know, go 98 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: to Tampa in the preseason, you have ten sacks. We're 99 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna have the best we could go undefeated this year. 100 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be the best defense ever. You know, amazing 101 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: that that's exactly the game. It was a Tampa preseason game. 102 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: He declared he thought Gerardmeyo and Andre Carter were gonna 103 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: split the like the Defensive Player of the Year award. Wow. Yeah, 104 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm surprised to learn this about Andy. That seems very 105 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: reaction because like they played like three series against the 106 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: Bucks and they had like five sacks and they were 107 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: all over the place. They're gonna blitch this year. They're 108 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: gonna do No, they didn't. I'm not even they send 109 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: it off of anything that outstanding. Like I thought they 110 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: were fine last week, but but I think so you're 111 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: not telling me that last week got you into this 112 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: great mood. And no, maybe a little bit with the defense, 113 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit. But I think they're gonna play 114 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: even better this week. I think this week will be 115 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: a more you know, team effort. I think the offense 116 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: will will do more no matter who's I'm with you 117 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: when it comes to the defense. Yeah, I think that. 118 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: I think they're showing week by week that Steve Belichick 119 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: and Gerard Mayo were figuring out who they've got, who 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: can do what, who can do what well, and they're 121 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: putting guys in the position to succeed. They're coming up 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: with good game plans based on the opponent um, And 123 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm optimistic about the defense. Yeah, I am too, especially 124 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: with Brissette, someone they know very well. I think that 125 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: the game plan they put together is going to be 126 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: something that's going to be able to contain as much 127 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: as much as they can the run game obviously, and 128 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: force them to, you know, throw the ball a little 129 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: bit more. And then I think on offense, I think 130 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for is finishing in the red zone. 131 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want seven field goals. Yeah, we're 132 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: gonna throw it at the red zone. That's like I mean, 133 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: I don't want seven field goals. You start to you 134 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: start to tap it down, and the question is, you know, 135 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: we're assuming Bailey's Appy is going to be the quarterback. 136 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: Will they be willing to take chances once they get 137 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: in the red zone? Well, I mean, or just give 138 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: it to Remandre let them well get some rushing touchdowns. 139 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I just over the field goals, like obviously, 140 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather three over nothing. But that's the 141 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: thing about Cleveland that, you know, as good as their 142 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: running attack is, their running defense isn't that good. They're 143 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: giving up one one hundred and sixty yards a game 144 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: or something like that. You know what, if Ramandre is 145 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: like really the only threat they have to plant, I 146 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: don't know. I'll be interested to see how they handle 147 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: Ramandre when I mean, given what happens with Damien. Yeah, 148 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the depth just really isn't there in the backfield. I 149 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: was just talking about that upstairs. I was like, Okay, 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna see Pierre Strong or we gonna, you know, 151 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: maybe see Kevin Harris j J. Taylor, Like I wonder 152 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: what they are going to do so that, you know, 153 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: maybe there is another running back available. They'll have to 154 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: bring one up. Yeah, and Paul thinks it'll be J. J. Taylor, 155 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: probably because of his experience. But I wouldn't be surprised 156 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: to see either David Harris or Pierre Strong as as well. 157 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: You might even have two running backs. N Kevin Harris. 158 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: What did I say, David David David Harris for the Jets? Yeah, yeah, 159 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: or David Monk. I think he was here too for 160 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: wasn't he for a cup of a cup of coffee? 161 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he ever made I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 162 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: somewhere A good player, a really good player for the Jets. Yeah, 163 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: Kevin Harris. I also thought it was interesting, outside of 164 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: um finishing in the red zone, the number one thing 165 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: when I talked to the receivers yesterday in the locker 166 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: room that they said there was a priority for this 167 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: week was ball security. And I'm like, you know, I 168 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: wish I could have gotten to talk to Nelson Aglor 169 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: about that. Oh hey, it's it's been. It's been a 170 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: little bit. Well in his case, it's as much it's 171 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: it's as much about catching the ball so that you 172 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: can't secure it, you know, Um yeah, um right, though, 173 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean, because they've only had four takeaways and four turnovers, 174 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: I mean, turnovers don't really seem like they've had a 175 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: big impact on this team. It doesn't seem like they're 176 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: loose with the football, they don't really force turn well, 177 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: it's just that they haven't been able to overcome them, 178 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: you know, when they happened. When they happened last game 179 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: was pretty good. You know, we're talking about Cleveland. Oh, Cleveland. Oh, 180 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They haven't been a team that's taken the 181 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: ball away very so I'm just interesting that that's what 182 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: they and both of them said it like, and they 183 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: weren't even next to each other. When I asked them, like, 184 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: you know what their focus was, both of them said 185 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: ball security. And I guess it was because of the 186 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: point of emphasis with especially Bill Belichick talked about it, 187 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: with them being so fast on defense, I guess that 188 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: is what they're focusing on. Is ball security being the 189 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: most important thing Patriots are focusing because which I think 190 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: in me a curve you started. Yeah, Mike's point was 191 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: it's strange that they were talking so much about ball 192 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: security against a team that doesn't take the ball away well. 193 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: On Nelson's interception in particular, it wasn't even anyone taking 194 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: the ball away from him. It was just off his 195 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: hands and they caught the tips. So right, see, we 196 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: can't do that anymore. Run tv A you can m Yeah, careful, 197 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: Michael Well, I think I think that you know, until 198 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, until the Patriots can prove, you know, over 199 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: a stretch of time that you know, they're taking care 200 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: of the ball, I think that has to be the 201 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: message every week to them, you know. Yeah, I think 202 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: in some way that they've been. I mean that last 203 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: one Igalore had was was you know that that the fumble. 204 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just he's had a couple of plays, 205 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: and I mean, I said yesterday, it just bugs you 206 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: that he got a young quarterback. You know, guys need 207 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: to step up, and you're just not making plays for 208 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: your rookie quarterback and you're putting him in a bad place. 209 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: I think that's uh, that's what's what's tough. But interesting 210 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: point of emphasis though, and it just makes me wonder. 211 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: You know, JJ Taylor last year, this was his last game. 212 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: I know, he's been a guy with ball security things. 213 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: And another thing I thought too was I think mack 214 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: Wilson forced the fumble last year, right, what didn't he 215 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: force a fumble on the Patriots last year? Here? I 216 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: think maybe perhaps he was involved a lot. Really he 217 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: played he's one of the few players that's out just 218 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: that is. But I know, sorry, um, but you know, 219 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: I just interesting it's it's largely the same defense that 220 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: they had last year. Paul mentioned Ward. I mean, he's 221 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: kind of had it down here. I mean, looking at 222 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, some of his his stats over the last 223 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: few years, he's been really good and he's been one 224 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: of the guys that that just hasn't really been playing 225 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: up the part for them right now, Well, the Patriots 226 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: had their first participation report yesterday we mentioned a lot 227 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: of Browns not playing but uh not practicing, But the 228 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: Patriots had a lot of people practicing, but a lot 229 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: of them limited. So how Damian Harris was limited, Lawrence 230 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: Guy was limited obviously, Mac Jones was limited, Jilan Mills, 231 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: who else? Agalore he was limited. He also has a hand, 232 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: got a back. I mean, there's some of these injuries 233 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: pop up and you don't like they never miss anything, 234 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: so you never it never like really gets on your 235 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: radar where guys who have missed games like Guy. You 236 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: know Harris is expected to miss games. But you know, 237 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's I think it's a reminder 238 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: that there's a bunch of guys dealing with stuff that 239 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: you know, you might not even realize. Johnny Smith was 240 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: out there again, So they're all out there. We'll see. 241 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: I think Lawrence Guy would be would be the big 242 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: one to get him back against this rundee Alex, I 243 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: see you have your phone out, do you mind checking 244 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: the weather for Sayady did? Yeah, it's going to be 245 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: very similar to last week in Cleveland. Um, it's stay 246 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: I guess it's staying warm out there. It's gonna be 247 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: out sixty mostly sunny, okay, any win factor and he 248 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: breeze coming in. I was really surprised. Bill mentioned that 249 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: there was a cross win last week here, you know, 250 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: and you couldn't see that from the press box, like 251 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: the flags on the goalposts were not really moving. But 252 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: I guess there was like some kind of crosswind. It 253 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: was definitely windy yesterday. But I think we were just 254 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: trapped in the bowl because I know, walking into the stadium, 255 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: my hair just got ruined. And then once I was in, 256 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, it's not let me too. Yeah. 257 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't great, of course I did. Yeah, Okay, so 258 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking up the game book from last year. Mike 259 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: and uh Mac Wilson had seven tackles in the game, 260 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: but did not now have any force fumbled. Patriots did 261 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: not turn the ball over in that game. Okay, I 262 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: mean that was pretty much a perfect game. I mean, 263 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: what was the final score of that one? And if 264 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: you'll remember the first drive by Cleveland, they rushed at 265 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: a bunch, they kind of went right down the field 266 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: and scored, and then Patriots countered and scored, and then 267 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: next possession Cleveland turned it over. Patriots scored. That was 268 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: four four. Is that the one where Chubb was on 269 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: a gallop? That was Yeah, was active in the game. 270 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. That was before Chubb was a superstar 271 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: he was, yeah, he um. It was de Ernest Johnson. 272 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: That was the guy you guys were making fun of 273 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: me about how remember these things? Um? And they ran 274 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: him right down the field and the first drive and 275 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: then the next drive they came out and empty backfield, 276 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: shotgun spread and throwing it all over the place, and 277 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: they may started turning the ball and floated and yeah, 278 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 1: that was where I lost any any any hope of 279 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: big Ernest Johnson had nineteen carries for ninety nine yards 280 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: in that game. Five point two would carry. Yeah, and 281 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: it was all on the first drive. Once they fell behind, 282 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: they couldn't run ball anymore. I betch at least thirty 283 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: forty of them were on that first drive for sure. 284 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be another interesting test. And to me, 285 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: the key is limiting the Cleveland rushing attack. If you 286 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: can do that, Yeah, if you can hold them, believe 287 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: it or not, around one hundred yards, I think you 288 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: win this game. One hundred yards like total between the 289 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: both of them. Yeah, yeah, rushing, rushing, yeah, total, Yeah. 290 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I just we spent so much time in 291 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: the last few seasons talking about the Patriots run defense, 292 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes these kind of teams come up, 293 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: like last year, and you think, oh, this could be 294 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: a good challenge to see where they're really at, and 295 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: then you get dearest Johnson instead of those two guys. 296 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: So I like games like this where something that you 297 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: know you're not maybe not one hundred percent sold on 298 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: just yet that the Patriots can you know, straight up 299 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: stop the run right from the get go. Last week, 300 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: I think they showed they could do it in you know, 301 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: specific instances in short yardage, which is great. But you know, 302 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: this is a straight up test against Bill was all 303 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: over their offensive line too, and both these guys should 304 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: be ready to go, so you should learn something about 305 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: job Hunt not even on the injury report, and they 306 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: only have one offensive lineman, um Patonio, I mean, one 307 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: of their better ones, but they it should be a 308 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: good test. Yeah, yeah, is with these guys too, I saw, 309 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: but a legit test, and I think if they do, 310 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: if they do well against the their run, there's no 311 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: asterisks there where in many of these games they're you know, pros. 312 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: There's a butt. Yeah, I would just be interested in 313 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: Like Detroit the other day, I think got off to 314 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: a decent start running the ball and then fell behind him, 315 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: couldn't really run like I would be just curious to 316 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: see how the game unfolds. But yeah, personnel wise, definitely 317 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: no asteris. And if your thing comes true and it's 318 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: a regular, it's my thing. One hundred yards okay, one 319 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards. I mean that would be an incredible performance. 320 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: If it's like one hundred, one hundred and ten yards 321 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: rushing for the Browns and you know it's like a 322 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty game or something like that, that's that's 323 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: really good defense. Did you catch what I did in 324 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: the round table? And I haven't read him yet? Now 325 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: you should start sharing those with the rest of the class. 326 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: Why you can read them when they're posted. Yeah, but 327 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: you know I won't do it. But I don't want 328 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: you to, you know, apply give you any hints. You know, 329 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't need to, I said, 330 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: I said, if the Patriots can hold the Browns below 331 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and two point three yards, wow, Okay, So 332 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: how did you calculate that because well, that's that's what 333 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: I want people to wonder, like, where did I come 334 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: up with that number? It's advanced analytics. I think Freddie's 335 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: like Johnny analytic into exact. Yeah, a lot of numbers involved, 336 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: that's what came out one or two point three one 337 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: or two point two point three. Yeah, it's close. I 338 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: mean it's like one or two point two two two nine. 339 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: I just round you think he's Cynthia Freeland. I don't 340 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: know started on her or anybody else. People without girlfriends, 341 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: very very judgy, very very judging, judging. It just sits 342 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: in his ivory tower looking down at the all twenty 343 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: two judging people who don't watch it and don't have girlfriends. Yeah, well, 344 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: listen takes up a lot of time, all right. Eight 345 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: five five five hundred is the ACE ticket hot line. 346 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: Web radio at Patriots dot com is the email address? Um, 347 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: what else we got a big expose about from Seth 348 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: Wickersham on ESPN today you get Van Nada and Wickersham 349 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: on yet and there was another byline in there, Uh 350 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: was Tsha Thompson or something like that about Dan Snyder 351 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: and all there, but the voluminous he might have dirt 352 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: on all the other owners and that's why they haven't 353 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: kicked him out yet, because he could drop the bomb 354 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: if he wanted to at any time. And he's hired 355 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: private detectives to dig up dirt on even Goodell. I 356 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: mean wow, And then you're coming to and then there 357 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: it's next week.

And then we 360 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: got we got a weekend to kind of let it 361 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: percolate a little bit, so that that's out there. Anything else? 362 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: A big game tonight at Big Bears in Commanders. Well, 363 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: we gotta do some scouting right call. You'll be watching 364 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: watching He's party. This is probably a game that I 365 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: shan't watch a play. I don't think I will either, 366 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: although I am kind of curious to see the all 367 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: orange yeah for the Bears, and I saw it and 368 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: all right out. Do you think it'll top last week's 369 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: Thursday night game? It can't be worse, are you sure? Yeah? 370 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: Because that was the world was at twelve nine and 371 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: overtime last week, and not only did you have to 372 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: think overtime of it? I can't imagine. I mean the 373 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: most entertaining part of the game were the memes on 374 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: Twitter coming out about how bad the game was. I mean, 375 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: if if it starts out worse than I Goodell will 376 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: just run out of the All right, that's it. Stop 377 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: stop the cameras. You think it was going to be 378 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: there for this one. I think he does the opposite. 379 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the great Thursday night game the 380 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: fans on Thursday night football, Like, no matter what happens, 381 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: he tells you, the the fans are telling us they want, 382 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, forty games this season, that's what they're telling 383 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: That was the year that he was here and he 384 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: was speaking at the hall and Fred and I were 385 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: off to the side, and anyone were like staff and 386 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: Walter Will making fun of everything that he said. Yeah, 387 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: this guy, I wish that you had to earn Thursday 388 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: night football games, like in college football. Everyone does not 389 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: get a Thursday night football game. Like I couldn't even 390 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: imagine if that was a thing. Yeah, I mean, it's 391 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: like you know, having to earn hard knocks. Nobody wants either. Yeah, which, 392 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know if you listen to 393 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: the pregame show, but we had forget our guests name 394 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: from Detroit Tim twenty Tim twentyman, how did I forget 395 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: that name? We asked him about just what it was 396 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: like from his as Detroit Lions dot Com to have 397 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks going on, and it was interesting, like a 398 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: little bit insight of you know, actually hearing what the 399 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: guy said. You know, you watch practice, then you go, 400 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 1: I mean a week later you see the episode, but um, 401 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting. You asked him like 402 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: how heavily I'm sure it was, but how heavily edited? 403 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, I don't think you would know 404 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: that from the outside. Well, you know what happened at practice, 405 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: and then you know what shows up on TV, but 406 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: you don't know what was going on behind closed doors. 407 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: O oh that part. Yeah. Bradley, our video guy, could 408 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: answer that question for you because he was with the 409 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: Browns when they did the Hard Knock seasons and his 410 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: stories are legendary, real legendary. What I liked was we 411 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: asked him about, you know, like how his interaction with 412 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: the camera was like did he get on?

Would it bother you more? No? Oh, 440 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: it would bother me. It would bother me more because 441 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: I'd be like, I never saw that, and it would 442 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: bother the training camp practices or whatever. We would bother 443 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: me a lot more. Now, it wouldn't bother me because 444 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: I just knew. I would know that no matter what 445 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: he does where he goes, he wasn't gonna do that here. 446 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: Like it was done a great way to go through life. 447 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: It just wasn't gonna have it was the right move, 448 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: no matter what. No, no, really, I mean, do you 449 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: ever think that that was gonna happen here? You know? 450 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: I think I don't think he'll ever catch I would 451 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: go into every season saying, Okay, this is gonna be 452 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: He's gonna turn it around. Yeah, or and I just 453 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: gave up. It was never gonna happen here. He needed 454 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: a new place, you know, and who knows if it's 455 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: going to happen there either. But it just wasn't going 456 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 1: to happen here. So if he if he has a 457 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: great career somewhere else, good for him. I mean I 458 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: was wondering why they couldn't have got it out of 459 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: him here? And what it does it look like like? 460 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: Is he like a contested catch monster? Now? And you 461 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: know what, would it bug you from the point they 462 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: weren't able to get to him or he just wasn't 463 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: putting his best effort here. No, they weren't able to 464 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: use him, right, they weren't able to get that out 465 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: of him. If he ends up turning into a really 466 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: good player, that would be that would bother me? Yeah, yeah, 467 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: why didn't we get it out of him? Yeah? Would 468 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 1: it make you feel worse though? If he was just 469 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: like this wide receiver who just run blocked the whole 470 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: game and was just steamrolling guys down the field, that 471 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't bother me, like he's flexing or just killing guys left. 472 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't wish Yeah, I don't wish you will, 473 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: but I would bug me if you all of a 474 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: sudden turned out to be a great receiver somewhere else 475 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: two games back from injury. I don't not too No, 476 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm not spilled. I don't have really any fear of 477 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: that happening. No. Yeah, well you just watched them enough. 478 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, I don't want to 479 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: say it's the same thing as as Zappy, but it's 480 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: a similar thing where it's like, look, we go out 481 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: to practice, we sit there and we watch I mean, 482 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: guys who are good, you see, the guys are good, 483 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: and guys who don't do much. You see guys who 484 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: don't do much. Like I'm not expecting Bailey Zappy to 485 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: do things I didn't see this summer, just like I'm 486 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: not expecting to kill Harry to do things that I 487 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: didn't see for three summers or whatever, four summers of 488 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: watching them in the training camp. You know. Yeahikes, that 489 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: was a harsh comparison.

All right, let's go to 492 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: the phones. I guess I will start with Todd North 493 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: Carolina on the ACE taket a hot line. What's up Todd? Hey, guys. 494 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: My prediction for the game tonight is as based on 495 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: the Paul Prittle theory that when you have two average 496 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: to Midland teams. You take the home team, and I 497 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: think Cleveland's probably gonna pull this out. I think it's 498 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: gonna be really close. But my feeling is there's you know, 499 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: you're playing gaft the Patriots, you always step up. I 500 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: don't care. Even if it's past the dynasty, you still 501 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: they still want to beat you. Right, So, and the 502 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: talent on the Cleveland team is pretty good. You're picking 503 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: Cleveland seriously, I am on bro Wow. Now I have 504 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: a good question for you guys going forward past this game, 505 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: because and into the winning streak, which two players, one 506 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: on offense one on defense need to bring their a 507 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: game for the rest of the year to really make 508 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: a difference. And my two are Mac Jones on the 509 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: offense because I think if he can bring his a game, 510 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: he's got enough tools that you'll be able to do things. 511 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: And then just Uche, I think we need to see 512 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: something from Ouche. I think if he can start flying 513 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: around and we up that his game, then I think 514 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: we've got some enough to I think I think I 515 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: think Mac Jones is obvious. I think Buche is a stretch. 516 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: I think you're really digging deep. There's a bit player. Yeah, 517 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, listen, if he turns out to 518 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: be like, you know, this great player, but that's not 519 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: going to happen. I don't think. I think you're digging deep. 520 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: I would just stick at and he's made a difference 521 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: just plays like every down though. I mean, josh uch 522 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: is playing like fifteen twenty snaps a game. It's hard 523 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: to think we need more of him on the field. Really, 524 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: So you want more, I'm sure I want more plays. 525 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need him to be out. I 526 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: just wanted to make plays. To me, it would be 527 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: Jude On maintaining Yeah, unlike last year, his maintaining his 528 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: strong level of play. Okay, well, I didn't want to 529 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: pick dude On because I thought he was already bringing 530 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: his A game. But yeah, I get what you're saying. 531 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: I think if every week the defensive battfield, the young 532 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: guys get a little bit better, just a little bit 533 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: better every week, I think to me, that's that's the 534 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: ingredient of success on defense. Yeah, well let's let's yeah, 535 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: let's see them match up against thanks time. You know, 536 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: a deep receiving corps and you got them coming up 537 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: and they'll be fine with this game. They'll be fine 538 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: with the next one. Let me know what happens in 539 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: November and December. Yeah, that's why I say by that time, 540 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: hopefully they're in full stride um George and Madison. New 541 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: Jersey writes, and do you guys think that all the 542 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: calls for Zappy to usurp Mac would be so loud 543 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: if Mac were playing better? No? Well, I mean I 544 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: think that goes a little bit to what we're saying. Answer. 545 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I do think that Mac was catching some flak, 546 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, before he got hurt, Like you know, I mean, 547 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: there were there were certainly people saying, oh, he hasn't 548 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: made the year two jump. I mean, if Mac had 549 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: been lighting it up until now, we'd be just, you know, 550 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: begging for him to get back. Mac is clearly farther 551 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: along than Zappy and the better quarterback overall. But is 552 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: Mac going to be the kind of quarterback that will 553 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: get you out of a two and three TD hole 554 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: against the Mahomes or Alan. I know it's early, but 555 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: my gut tells me he's not to get there. I 556 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: know quarterbacks. Although I never played football, I lived one 557 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: floor below Eli Manning in Hoboken for two years. Actually true, 558 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: and once rode in the elevator with Peyton, who I 559 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: didn't recognize, So this clearly makes me an expert. You 560 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: didn't recognize pet Hoboken, Freddy. Isn't that Arthur's? Yes, yes, 561 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: it's Arthur's. Have you ever gone to Arthur's and Hooken? 562 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: Great place? Is it? What is it? It was a 563 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: steak place. But not recognizing Peyton, like, I know, didn't 564 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: imagine you're much of a football He's pretty recognized. Yes, 565 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: unless he had like some woolen hat over could be too. 566 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: Maybe he like if you have on sunglasses and hat 567 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: and like something. Sure, well, I mean we were at 568 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: the hall, we saw boomer size, and there we knew 569 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: who it was, right, It's true. Thanks, thanks Dukes. Is 570 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: that boomer size? Paul? It's an inside joke my five 571 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: foot nothing? Those who know no, Um, let's see um. 572 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: Lots of emails about whether or not I would agree, 573 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: by the way, about mac Jones, like just to we 574 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: should probably talk about the guy's email. You took the 575 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: time to read it. Yeah, but I thought, okay, I 576 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of faith in the Patriots offense 577 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: coming back from you know, multiple school deficits, and I 578 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: think that you know that that's a problem for mac Jones. 579 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: Do you think that there their acknowledgement of pushing the 580 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: ball down the field is a way to try to 581 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: get to that point? Yep? You know, like it seems like, 582 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: you know, I saw them win the game that they 583 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: won Sunday a million times, you know, twelve really, but 584 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: I haven't seen them win another way. I think with 585 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots coaching staff did throughout the offseason, I think 586 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have 587 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: given them a lot of correct crap for it. I 588 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: think that they needed to find ways to get some 589 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: chunk plays and have the ability to score quicker so 590 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: when you're in a different kind of game, you're not 591 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: spending eight and a half minutes getting the one score 592 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: of the two school deficit, which is what they did 593 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: in those games that they never had a chance in 594 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: last year. And they needed to show a willingness to 595 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: do it, because again, if they were easy to defend 596 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: last year, the way to combat that is to be, 597 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, do different things so that teams don't know 598 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: what you're gonna do on every down, you know, become 599 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: a little less easy to defend, and you have to show, 600 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: even if it's not successful, show the willingness to go 601 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: deep once in a while, you know, and now with 602 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: Thornton back, maybe you can actually be successful doing it. Yeah. 603 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean the speed that they drafted. I mean you 604 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: look up and down the draft. Everybody can run. I 605 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: mean from Cole Strange through Marcus Jones and you know, 606 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean all those guys are fast. Pierre Strong, I 607 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: guess now it's just a question of can you get 608 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: back back and translate it? And I think for me, 609 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: like that's why I'm kind of stuck. Like there's so 610 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: much analysis going on of the offense, and you know, 611 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: the Patricia thing and all that, but like they play 612 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: two games with their backups, Like it's hard for me 613 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: to really look at these last two games and be 614 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: like this is what they are. This to me is 615 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: like two lifeboat games where you're just trying to get 616 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: the win and not beat yourself, right, And so it's 617 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: hard to really judge where they are over the last 618 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: two weeks. You know. So once you get Mac back, 619 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: then you can start pressing that issue more and see 620 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: what they really are. But until he does, I think 621 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: that they're still in that lifeboat. I really wonder what 622 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: Max's mindset is right now. Someone asked about that, like 623 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: where is he mentally dealing with the injury? And also 624 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: I guess you could say that Zappi fever situation and 625 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: they're like, that's a question for Mac. Yeah, well it is. 626 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean that's a question for Matt. How you're gonna 627 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: ask Joe Judge how he's doing mentally, Like he's not 628 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: in his mind Like so when he when he does 629 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: come back, he is he pressed? You know when he 630 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: when he does come back, does he press and does 631 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: that hurt him or does he use this as motivation 632 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: and does it make him get better? I just for me, 633 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: it's clean up the mistakes. I think Mac was playing okay. 634 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: I just think he needs to clean up the mistakes. 635 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: And when we talked about him going out and getting 636 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: the the perspective from watching a couple of games, like, 637 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: I just hope he gets back to that that, you know, 638 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: not throwing terrible interceptions. I mean, their interceptions are going 639 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: to happen, Zappy hap, but you know it's the ones 640 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: where it's right to the guy. And there's been ones 641 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: that have been dropped and it was consistent, and I 642 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing that he needs to clean 643 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: up to get back here and you know, get on 644 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: track and get rid of this dappy stuff. But in 645 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: terms of his mindset, I mean, based on what I've 646 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: seen in that guy, I think he wants to get 647 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: back a SAP. I think, well, I'm pretty sure of that. 648 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I I mean, I think he understands the 649 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: NFL and that you know, you can lose your job anyway, 650 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's injury or whatever. You know, 651 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: regardless of how much of this zappy stuff is kind 652 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,719 Speaker 1: of overblown, I still think he hears that and he 653 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: wants to push things to get back, maybe even before 654 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: he should. That's where I think I hope he's taking 655 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: that personally. Yeah, well sure, I mean, you know, Michael Jordan, 656 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: how dare you play marginally? Well? Wait, Paul, what was 657 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: the thing that you taught me on Sunday? Hands up 658 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: or Paul up? Palms palms up? You have to kind 659 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: of jump in youth sports, that's as up. Well, the 660 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: youth sports coaches are always we're a palm's down team, 661 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: not a palms up like settled down patience, not what 662 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: are we doing juggling. Um. I also will say, yes, 663 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: I do want Mac Jones when he's back out there 664 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: to kind of limit the tone rovers But I also 665 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: say I kind of feel like the offensive line is 666 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: playing better now than they were. Yeah, that's what weird 667 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: beginning in a season. So I'm thinking a mixture with 668 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: a better offensive line maybe that'll help him out. So yeah, 669 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: so maybe watching from above and says, hey, these guys 670 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: aren't so bad. I think bringing Cannon in has kind 671 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: of settled things. Using him as the extra person, the 672 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: eligible person, you know, Um, that's help. I think Stevenson 673 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: has gotten better every week with Blitz pick up, um, 674 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: you know. So I think you're right. I think Cole strange, 675 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: you would imagine every game he's got, but I think 676 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: they've gotten better. And so I think that when Mac 677 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: Jones is available and Brady to come back, that I'm 678 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: hoping that that could help him out too. I think 679 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: there's anything we've We've been talking a lot about it. 680 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: We get stopped, stack the box and stop, you know, 681 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: Chubb and Hunt. I mean, do you think there's anything 682 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: to be said talking about things that have developed since 683 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: Mac has been out? Stevenson great game last week continues 684 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: to ascend. Do you get to a point where you 685 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: feel like, hey, Stevenson might require a little box attention 686 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: from the defense, you know, and and maybe that can 687 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: help downfield if they get you know, less coverage heads, 688 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: especially downfield. I mean, I wonder if means something now, 689 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, does does does? This game and everybody's talking 690 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: about Zappie Mac, I feel like I'm going to Harrison 691 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: and Stevenson, but you know, does Harris's injury at this 692 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: point and Stevenson's Stevenson's kind of ascension a little bit? 693 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: Does that change the roles at all? I mean, it 694 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: still seemed like kind of Harris was the lead guy, 695 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, does does? Does? Does Stevenson take that over? 696 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: And does he become kind of the lead guy? I mean, 697 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: I think they're great together, but I just think if 698 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: Stevenson brings this threat of well, you know, we have 699 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: to consider this, well, I think they're you know, when 700 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: we're stacking once Harris is healthy, like, do you have 701 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: to change it up? It's working the way they do it. 702 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: You know, put Harrison to start, you know, and you know, 703 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: mix in Stevenson and as things start to roll, you 704 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: figure out. You know what styles working best? You know, 705 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I see no reason to really change that 706 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: up as long as Harris is healthy. I also liked 707 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: someone asked Bill this. I can't remember if it was 708 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: after the game or um the next day, but someone 709 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: asked hez Ramandre proved that he can be in every 710 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: down back and he said, there's no question about that 711 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: of course. All right. Yeah, so I think he's raved 712 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: about him a ton and that they do need to 713 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: lean on him heavily while Harris is gone. Like that's great, 714 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: But I do agree that why not use both of them? 715 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: Why not use both? Yeah? Um Bama Boom writes in 716 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: first time emailer found your podcasts after the Bucks game 717 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: and love the show. My question is do you think 718 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: people are overlooking the Browns matchup? I think this is 719 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: a serious test for the team and could see a 720 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: really close game this Sunday. Well, I definitely Deuce is 721 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: overlooking it. I am, I definitely am. I'm trying to 722 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: set them up to fail. No, I would never do so. 723 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: Mike is doing no. No. I just I just think 724 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna win this game. I mean, last week Lions 725 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: team is pretty good. I think this Patriot team will 726 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: come together and I think they've found something. Also, I 727 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: haven't watched a ton of the Cleveland Browns, but I 728 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: feel like the fact that the games that they've lost 729 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: have been by a total of six points, it's like 730 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: they could be undefeated right now, which is I did 731 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: not predict that, especially considering what's going on in their 732 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: quarterback room. I was like, Oh, they're not going to 733 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: win a game, but to see they could have could 734 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: be five and oh right now, it's like it is 735 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: a little shocking based on their season. I don't know 736 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: how you could feel great about saying that this one 737 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: would be easy. Right Every one of their games basically 738 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: has gone down to the last possession yep, and the 739 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: one that was a two score a game involved a 740 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: touchdown on the on the last play of the game 741 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: that you know, the Pittsburgh Thursday Night or there was 742 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: a fumble lateral play that that game was twenty three 743 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: seventeen I think until that play. So all the other games, 744 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,959 Speaker 1: if they miss a field goal opening Day, they lose. 745 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: If they make a field goal last week against the Chargers, 746 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: they win. That's how every one of their games has been. Yeah, 747 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: but thinks it's all right. The Panthers, they just fired 748 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: their coach, Jets week two with Joe Flacco, Steelers are 749 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: on their next quarterback. The Falcons. The Falcons and the 750 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: Chargers without most of their stars, and Justin Herbert's playing 751 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: with Rid So some contexts we talk about everybody, are 752 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: we going to do this? Right? So now now we're 753 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna say, Pittsburgh in Detroit, right, two wins combined, right, Like, 754 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. They've all been close. But I 755 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: just think the page no, no, Pins games haven't all 756 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: been close. Those are their wins. Pittsburgh in Detroit, Miami. 757 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: They got blasted against Miami, and they got blasted against 758 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore in the fourth quarter, the best one of the 759 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 1: probably the best team in the conference. Okay, but you lost. 760 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: So so why we have all this like confidence that 761 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be a blow I agree with you. 762 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: I think everyone of Cleveland's games has gone down to 763 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: the last play. I think the Patriots will beat him 764 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: by ten points. I hope you're right. I don't think 765 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: it's a blowout, but ten points in the NFL is 766 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: a blowout, all right, Then they'll blow them out. I 767 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: mean there's one spread this week. That's more than ten 768 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: points one. Yeah, out of the fourteen game, nobody haats 769 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: Jacobi per Set more than you, Paul, So I think 770 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: he stinks. But it's a freend's point. All they do 771 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: is run the ball, and they find a way to 772 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: score points. It's one of those rare teams that finds 773 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 1: a way to get in the mid mid to high 774 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: twenties without throwing the ball and matching up with us, Like, 775 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there's I think their success is a credit 776 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: to their running backs also, like a really great offensive line, 777 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: and just our defensive line has not really blown me 778 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: away this year. That's that's fair. That's fair. Well, I 779 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: think I think you're right overall, but I think they're 780 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: getting better week by week as well. Why do you 781 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: judge though, I'd love to see Lawrence Guy back. I 782 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: think that would really help. But like last week, they 783 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: had a shut out. Their defense was outstanding. I just 784 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: watched the game, Paul. Last week, they were outstanding. I 785 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: can't say enough good things about the defense last week. Yeah, 786 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: the previous two weeks were not improvements. I just watched 787 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: the game, right, So I'm asking you what you're judging 788 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: it on it just what I see. So what was 789 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: the improvement that you saw? That's what I'm asking. I 790 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: just see guys. If guys aren't out of position, I 791 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: think I think were they out of position? In the 792 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: Miami they're playing much more solid defense. But based on like, 793 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: this is what I'm saying, my eyes, But you're saying 794 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: they're improving, my eyes, they're improving based off of what 795 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 1: That's what I'm asking, my eye from what I see 796 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: from the Miami game to the to the Baltimore game. Yes, 797 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: you told me that against Miami they were great defensively, 798 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: Well not again, and they got thirty seven to said, 799 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: I said, they did a great job minimizing the yards 800 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: after catched by guys like and then two weeks later 801 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: they gave up thirty seven Baltimore. I thought they did 802 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: a good job in that game. That right, But then 803 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: you said they've improved. So two weeks later they get 804 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: up thirty seven. Was that an improvement over Miami? What 805 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: was the running totals in that game against Baltimore? Yeah, 806 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: you have two hundred yards. Yeah, but when they get 807 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: up another two hundred yards the next week against Green Bay. Yeah, 808 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: but you have to look at it in context, it 809 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: wasn't okay, So they didn't improve. I think they are. 810 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 1: I think they are. Last week they're not. They're not 811 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: getting gashed the way they were. She went out to 812 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: here to go to practice. Yeah, they're getting Last week, 813 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: they did not get gashed. I will agree with you 814 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: they I think last week was a tremendous defensive effort. 815 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: They did not get gashed. In the running game. They 816 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: gave golf absolutely nothing. They would dominant. Yeah, but the 817 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: previous two weeks that wasn't the case. I can just 818 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: tell you that I'm seeing guys playing better. Guys playing 819 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: better last week. I agree, No, every week. It's I 820 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: just don't understand how you comment that based on those 821 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: two others. Was just based on the numbers, Paul, It's no, 822 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: It's based on the performance. Yeah, this is what I'm 823 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: asking you. What what did you see? I'm asking you 824 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: what did you see besides like guys lining up right, 825 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm seeing guys making plays, not getting pushed around 826 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: like they were, you know earlier. So I'm telling you 827 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: they're getting better. Was my one. God Shaws, you know, 828 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: I like I said, I wish a guy was in there, 829 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 1: but I think god Shaw's playing well. I think, you know, 830 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 1: the problem before was linebackers weren't really helping out. They 831 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,919 Speaker 1: weren't filling in behind. That's starting to get better last week, 832 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 1: I would agree, you know, I think I can't argue 833 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: with that's starting to get better. But I think the 834 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: guys up front, you know, Deuce's guys on the line 835 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: are playing pretty well last week. Outstanding. Yeah, I totally 836 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: agree with you. I just don't agree on the Baltimore 837 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: and Green Bay games. I don't think they played well 838 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: defensively in those house. I know, I mean, and and 839 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, I but Baltimore though, I just 840 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,959 Speaker 1: they got Lamar. I mean, that's why I like this. 841 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: That's the other thing. Take out Lamar's numbers, and I 842 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: mean you can't. It was still really bad. I know 843 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 1: you hadn't take them out. I know you can't take 844 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: out the numbers, but you know, that's tough, it's unique. 845 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to judge the whole defense off of Lamar. 846 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: Lamar's a lot of people, and this is kind of 847 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: what my point is, Like, this is the only reason why, 848 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: like I kind of snooped up at Mike, who was 849 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: downplaying Cleveland's at a quosity. We can sit there and 850 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: tell you everybody's you know, it was Joe Flacco against 851 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: the Jet. Yeah, they stink. And when you have played 852 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't stink, you've looked bad, right like it 853 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: was Lamar Jackson. Okay, I'll make sure that we don't 854 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: play any good quarterbacks that can make plays so the 855 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: defense can pitch shutouts. This week is gonna this is 856 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: right exactly. He's good. You couldn't match up. That's fine. 857 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: I don't think that this is probably gonna be. There's 858 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: probably gonna be a time when you're gonna face other 859 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who were good, and I hope by then they're 860 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: making strides and well, you don't think you'll face a 861 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: quarterback as good as Lamar Jack's not that style. I mean, 862 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,959 Speaker 1: I think I think Allen who was a hundred times 863 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: better than Josh Allen, but Aaron Rodgers. I mean, they 864 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: did all right, that's another MV do all right. This 865 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: is my point that teams scored way more points than 866 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: they normally score. They did all right, Okay, I mean 867 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: we could just say they well, okay, I mean he 868 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: made some throws, but I mean that's another MVP. Aaron 869 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: Rodgers did not make anything. He thought it was the 870 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: run game. Yes, they done. It was not that nothing 871 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: to do with Aaron Rodgers, I know. But what is 872 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: saying Aaron Rodgers. Are we talking about defense or just 873 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: like Jack Jones. No, but Aaron Rodgers didn't beat them. 874 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 1: They did a good job against Aaron Right, And why 875 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 1: do you think that they get up so many yards 876 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: rushing because they were focused on stopping Aaron rod exactly. 877 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: And you don't have to worry about that against some 878 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: other teams who can't do anything to beat you. That 879 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: was like last week. That was the choice that they 880 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: made in that game. That was the game plan. We're 881 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna sacrifice rushing yards and make sure that 882 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: we don't let I just don't tell me that allowing 883 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: a team that averages sixteen points a game twenty seven 884 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 1: is good defense. That's all I ask. Well, and that's 885 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 1: all I'm asking only twenty four. Yeah, and if not 886 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: for a drop touchdown passing with two minutes left, it 887 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,839 Speaker 1: would have been thirty one. Right. You don't think they 888 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 1: have other drops. They didn't do anything to stop that play, correct, Yeah, 889 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: I think the Patriot I think the defense is getting 890 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: better every week. I really do. Well, all right, I 891 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: understand that you believe it. I'm just asking you to 892 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: explain why from what I see. Just like guys making cake, 893 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: I can just use the force two guys, just like 894 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: make stuff up guys. I see it what I sent. 895 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: I see dugger getting better every every week. Last week 896 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: I saw a defense that played in an entirely different 897 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 1: way than they did the previous two games, and they 898 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: completely snuffed out what I think is a really good offense. 899 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,839 Speaker 1: I would give that as a mic argument against me 900 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 1: and say, I think the Lions are pretty good on 901 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 1: an offense, and they made them look pretty bad. Yeah, 902 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 1: that to me is an improvement defensively. And I think 903 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: I think in week one they couldn't have done that. 904 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 1: I think they've been getting better every week. Okay, they 905 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: couldn't have done it anything. And I think, you know 906 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: when they couldn't have done it in week three or 907 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: four either. And I think part of it is, like 908 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 1: I said earlier, Steve Belichick and Gerard Mayo understanding, Okay, 909 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: who are who do we have on? You know what 910 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: you do when you don't really have anything tangible? You 911 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: go on. You go on things that are completely subjective. 912 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: I think it's Steve Belichick and Gerard May understand. Yeah, 913 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: I can't argue. I can't argue that Paul Paul. I 914 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: can't argue. I can't argue with Paul makes no idea. 915 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: Paul makes fun of all the stats, geeks. Unless he 916 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 1: was making fun, I'm not making I'm not giving you 917 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: any stats. I'm giving you performance. That's it's the other 918 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: team moved the ball at will and score points. That's all. 919 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: That's not at you think green Bay you move the 920 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: ball at will from the second half on, yes, okay, 921 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: but not the first half. They got off to a 922 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: slow start offensively in the first half. Why the Patriots 923 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: defense played well in the first half. I said, go 924 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: back and listen to the post. And last week they 925 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: put a game together. We're both halfs they played. So 926 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: they're getting better. They're getting better. You told me they 927 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 1: got better in the green Bay game. I think they 928 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: were better in green Bay then they were the week before, right, yes, 929 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: they were, So they're getting better. They were, but they 930 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 1: weren't better than they were against Pittsburgh. Well Pittsburgh stinks, Okay, 931 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean I do take some things at the consideration. 932 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 1: Who I think they were better than I think they 933 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: were better against green Bay than they were against Baltimore. 934 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: I do, Okay, I do evidence of getting better. And 935 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: I think they were better from green Bay to Baltimore. 936 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,439 Speaker 1: I don't think that the Baltimore and Green Bay games. 937 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: But did they get They weren't better in the Baltimore 938 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: or Green Bacon and they were against Miami. Did they 939 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: get better after Baltimore and after Baltimore, Yes, I'd have 940 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: to say, and they got better after that. But they're 941 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: getting better, but they got out, but they got worse 942 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: from Miami in Pittsburgh to Baltimore and green Bay. They 943 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 1: got worse in those two games from the first two games. 944 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 1: Then they bounced back and got better. Okay, I'm like 945 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: I said, I'm I'm gonna I'm sticking to my guns. 946 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: I think this defense is getting better. I think the 947 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 1: coaches are understanding who they are. I think they're putting 948 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 1: him in the positions. You know, this guy does this well, 949 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: he doesn't do that well, Let's not put him in 950 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 1: that position anymore. They're finding out what works for the 951 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: personnel that they have week by week. And I think 952 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: I think it's getting better and by the time they 953 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: played Josh Allen, maybe maybe maybe they'll be able to 954 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 1: put up a fight hopefully maybe. Yeah, maybe, though I won't, 955 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: I'll stop hijack on this show. No, let's I think 956 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: it's good for the video, right, we need we need 957 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: a little yeah, a little little drama, little fireworks. It's 958 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: it's fine, Yeah, it's you know, I still haven't found 959 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,879 Speaker 1: out why, but I'll let it go. Well, I mean, 960 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: I just don't rely on numbers. I look at at 961 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: what I keep telling me. You think the coaches are 962 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: putting guys in positions to see like, how about an exam? 963 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 1: Don't need to remember about an example? I remember last 964 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 1: year guys would just like out of position, like just 965 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, big running place again, how about an example, 966 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: I like, I don't have like it in front of me. 967 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: I just like you said, I look at the whole game, 968 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: and I just remember guys with their backs to the 969 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: play because they're guessing wrong or they're you know, and 970 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 1: just being kind of like Jawan Bentley shooting a gap 971 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 1: and having the ball go by him. Yeah, that that's 972 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: that's that's an example. Okay, So then I can use 973 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: an example of Dugger, you know, shedding three blockers to 974 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,760 Speaker 1: make a tackle for loss right, But is that coaching? 975 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: He's in the right position, He's he's there to make 976 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: the play. You know, he smells like he's being coached up. 977 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: He's like, this is what's happening here, you know, reading 978 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: the play and recognizing it and reacting. I think there's 979 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,880 Speaker 1: something too coaching there, but also putting the right guys 980 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: in the right position to make plays. You know, you know, 981 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: you can't say Dugger's not improving. I think Dougger's a 982 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: good player. Yeah. I didn't say anything about Tugger, but 983 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,239 Speaker 1: he's Judean is playing well. You know, I think, you know, 984 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: the defensive player of the week this week, you know, 985 00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: first time this year. He's getting better. You know, you're 986 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Fred. I mean I think, I think surprise, 987 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 1: I think takes, I think the Pau's point. There have 988 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: been up and downs with a lot of elements, but overall, 989 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 1: I think that's what you would Listen. I said it's 990 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: a perfect game. I think it was good. I think 991 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 1: Sunday was outstanding. I don't know how many different times 992 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 1: I can tell you how impressed I was with the defense. 993 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: On Sunday, I spent my whole hour with felgrad Mas telling. 994 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: All I said is I think they're getting better, and 995 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 1: you're saying, no, they're not, because they got better Sunday, Fred, 996 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: like this, like incremental improvement that you're talking about, I 997 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: disagree with. I'm sorry that I don't see it the 998 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: same way. Okay, you do. I'm sorry. I don't understand 999 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 1: what the defensive game plan is because I don't know 1000 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: enough about that to credit the coaches for putting guys 1001 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: in positions to hide their weaknesses. I don't know what 1002 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: they I don't know anything that they've to do that. 1003 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 1: I believe every game they go in with a game plan. No, 1004 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 1: I do too, I just don't know what it is 1005 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: and when it will and you obviously do you know. 1006 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: So I can't argue with you. You're you're talking about 1007 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: something completely subjective that I can't quanta. I don't understand it, 1008 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: so you know more about it than I do. What 1009 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: do you want me to tell you? Okay? I mean 1010 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: that's fair. I mean I can't. I can't. I can't 1011 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: make it any play that When you started talking about 1012 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: Belichick and Mayo putting guys in positions more effectively than 1013 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: they did last year. I can't argue with you. I 1014 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: can't tell you I'm talking about. I can't tell you're wrong. 1015 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: I have no idea I'm talking about as a season, 1016 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: go right. I can't and I can't argue with that 1017 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: because I don't have anything tangible to point to. I 1018 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: asked for some examples. You didn't have any. We'll move on. 1019 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I can go and list all the good 1020 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 1: plays this year. Is that what you want? No? But like, 1021 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 1: is a good play like Matthew jude On stripped Jared Goff, 1022 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 1: Is that's because of like Gerard Mayo and Steve Belichick 1023 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 1: putting in a position to succeed. He made a great play. 1024 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,320 Speaker 1: But they're not putting jude On in and every play, 1025 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, like he's what he's doing, Like what sixty 1026 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: the snaps in that game he did? Yeah, you know, 1027 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: So there's some thinking behind that. Okay, So that's why 1028 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 1: I said I thought the defense was better Sunday. Okay, 1029 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 1: But there's some thinking. But there is no evidence of 1030 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: these things that you're talking about going on in the 1031 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: previous two games. I think there is. They didn't win 1032 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 1: that you know they didn't shut down a team like 1033 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 1: they did on Sunday, but I think there is evidence 1034 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: of guys figuring it out and getting better. I really do, well, Paul, 1035 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,719 Speaker 1: how do you feel about them carrying that performance over 1036 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,879 Speaker 1: into next week? Though? I mean, that's not the heart 1037 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: of it. You don't feel like they're gonna me. I 1038 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,840 Speaker 1: went down, I fell for the tailpipe last year. I 1039 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: think it'll be fine this week because you're playing another 1040 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 1: team that can't do that. But eventually you're going to 1041 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,399 Speaker 1: see good quarterbacks when you have to worry about both things. 1042 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: And then I worry. Yeah, And like I said, by then, 1043 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any chance they could stop Buffalo zero. 1044 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 1: Fred obviously has hope that they'll be better by then, 1045 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 1: right right, I don't. Right now, there's no way they 1046 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: would be Buffalo And maybe by then they haven't improved enough. 1047 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 1: Even by then, they'll be borrowing a rash of injuries. 1048 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: They ain't slowing Buffalo down. No, that's I look more 1049 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 1: to the offensive side. Not to change the subject, but like, well, 1050 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: they can't. For me. That's like, you're not gonna start, 1051 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: You're not gonna I'm not, like I know, I come 1052 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 1: off as being, you know, ridiculously stubborn and come off 1053 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 1: that way. I'm not trying to do that. And I 1054 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,320 Speaker 1: thought they played great trying I thought they played great 1055 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday. You think they played like they did on 1056 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: Sunday every game. That's what we disagree. Did I ever 1057 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: say that? I did I say they're improving? There was 1058 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: nothing that I did. I say what they played the 1059 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 1: same way Sunday. It's the rest of the season. Did 1060 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 1: I ever say that? Did I? You said they were 1061 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 1: improving every week? Does that mean everything? I disagreed with? Okay, 1062 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: h yeah, all right. I think people are enjoying this though. Yeah, 1063 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,279 Speaker 1: there we go. We got nice We got a nice 1064 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: a nice little illustration there and the next big thing 1065 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,360 Speaker 1: on YouTube somebody else is crazy enough to have us 1066 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: on their big screen right now too, So um, that 1067 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: is crazy talk about four k um. All right, let's 1068 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,120 Speaker 1: go to back to the phones. People holding on Dwayne's 1069 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 1: in Boston. What's oh, Dwayne just hung up. Let's go 1070 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: to Leon and Wisconsin. What's up Leon. I don't know 1071 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: if you guys tosted on this already, but with Dadian 1072 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 1: Harris out, um, who are we going to compliment Mandre 1073 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 1: Stevenson in the backfield. Are we gonna possibly elevate Pierre Strong, 1074 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: J J. Taylor or do something like we did in 1075 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen to bring someone like Stephen Jackson into the 1076 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 1: running hole Groom, No, I think they'll go with what 1077 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: they've got, and you know, all the guys you just 1078 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: mentioned are candidates, and probably JJ Taylor because of his experience. 1079 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: But wouldn't surprise me to see Pierre Strong activated as well, 1080 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, well, I mean yeah, I definitely feel 1081 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: like this would be the perfect situation. If we had 1082 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 1: James White still, it would be would be pretty solid 1083 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 1: there as well. But with time Montgomery out as well, 1084 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: that kind of hurts, Yes, it does. Yeah, we all 1085 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 1: thought he'd be might be a factor this year. Yeah, 1086 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: we'll see, there's still time. Thanks Leon.

Mac Jones limited 1314 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 1: again yesterday. Looks like he's doing the same things or 1315 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 1: similar things out there Todaynee brace on, flip card on 1316 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: this flappy flapping around, flapping around, so you know, um, 1317 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: no lower pads today, just shells and shorts or sweats 1318 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,800 Speaker 1: or whatever they feel like wearing. So perfect attendants on 1319 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,160 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster. Little Jordan Humphrey is back 1320 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 1: in the building. Not sure he ever really left. He 1321 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 1: had a locker in the locker room yesterday and he 1322 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: was back out there at practice today. Kicker Tristan Viscayano 1323 01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 1: missing from the practice squad. So if you added up 1324 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,240 Speaker 1: connect the dots, sounds like Viscayano has lost a spot 1325 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 1: on the practice squad and little Jordan Humphrey has taken 1326 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 1: the spot. Okay, sorry, yeah, backup, kicker. Okay, folks, been 1327 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: great and uh overcast today out the overcast not raining yet, 1328 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 1: but they are projecting rain later on in practice, and 1329 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,360 Speaker 1: my understanding is that the team will be staying out 1330 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 1: there for practice in the rain if it does indeed rain. 1331 01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 1: So unlike last week when we went inside the bubble, 1332 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 1: no no bubble in the rain today? Yeah. Was there 1333 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 1: a large media contingency or it was good media contingency. 1334 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are coming for this 1335 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: quarterback thing for the end. They just want what we're 1336 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 1: watching right now on NBC Sports Boston, Mac Jones throwing 1337 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 1: the football to some equipment manager or something like that, 1338 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: not to pick on the guy catching the ball, just saying, 1339 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's not to a receiver and it's against air. 1340 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 1: But this is enough for people right now. Yeah. So 1341 01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 1: when you combine the media being interested in what Max's 1342 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 1: gonna do, and you know, the overcast weather in shells, 1343 01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 1: what would you say the mood is I would say 1344 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: the mood is a little bit shoulder pats ancy fancy, 1345 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:22,680 Speaker 1: because I think that this quarterback. I keep calling it 1346 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 1: a thing because I can't really think. I don't want 1347 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 1: to call it a controversy because I think that's going 1348 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,640 Speaker 1: way too far, So let's call it a thing. I 1349 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: think that some people last night, just a little inside baseball, 1350 01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,880 Speaker 1: we waited quite a while for mister Zappi to come 1351 01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 1: to the podium after locker room closed, and I think 1352 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 1: there are some feelings out there that are you know, 1353 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 1: let's see what happens here. Let's let's get to Sunday. 1354 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: And I always wonder, like, what's the message that Belichick 1355 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 1: is giving the team from week to week? And we 1356 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 1: know that after the twenty nine nothing when you know, 1357 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 1: he was in pretty good mood, you know, after the 1358 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 1: game on Monday, even you know yesterday day, he was 1359 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 1: a pretty good move. But I'm sure he's trying to 1360 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: level set his team, making sure that nothing in that game, 1361 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: you know, gets carried over in terms of cockiness, you know. 1362 01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 1: So I'm sure that he's making sure that this is 1363 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,639 Speaker 1: you know, we're still not that good. Yeah, we still 1364 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,640 Speaker 1: have a long way to go. It's a new kind 1365 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 1: of team too. I think he's got to push the 1366 01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 1: right buttons. But I just observation real quick is we're 1367 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 1: showing some of the practice. Of course they go right 1368 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 1: away from it, but it seemed to me like Mac 1369 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: had his shoulder pads on the other two guys just 1370 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,880 Speaker 1: had kind of shells underneath. I mean, I don't know 1371 01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,800 Speaker 1: if that's that seems like a weird Mac thing to me, 1372 01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:37,760 Speaker 1: like something he would do where he's like, no, I'm 1373 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 1: wearing my pats today. Yeah, maybe just that's something something 1374 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 1: that's something that I wonder too. You know, he hasn't 1375 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 1: played in a game in a couple of weeks, so 1376 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,280 Speaker 1: how much has he been wearing the shoulder pads, So 1377 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,840 Speaker 1: if he's trying to gear it back up, maybe throwing 1378 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:51,680 Speaker 1: in the pads like Brady would always throw in the 1379 01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 1: pads right, like even in the off season in his 1380 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 1: backyard you see the TV twelve stuff, and he'd be 1381 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 1: in full shoulder pads because that's what you play. That's 1382 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 1: a point, yeah, you know't playing shells. So I think 1383 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 1: it's significant. I mean, I think it says something about 1384 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,519 Speaker 1: I mean, things seem like they're definitely ramping up and 1385 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 1: and he's maybe making some strides to make sure. Listen, 1386 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm the coaches, I don't start Mac 1387 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: unless he can run around and avoid the rush. If 1388 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,360 Speaker 1: he's limited anyway in that respect, Yeah, I'm not. I'm 1389 01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,200 Speaker 1: not playing him, but just have a little that's just 1390 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,600 Speaker 1: me like a little team game of tag, and like 1391 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 1: if he can't get away, then you know you're out. 1392 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: If you can win tag. Right now, it's like old 1393 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 1: school yeahs to wrench all right? Any other anything else 1394 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,360 Speaker 1: you want to add Evan before just on those lines. 1395 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: I hate to be a body language doctor, but just 1396 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,479 Speaker 1: based off of his look, just how he's throwing the ball, 1397 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 1: how he's carried himself, it's different than what we saw 1398 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 1: last week. What does that mean anything? I have no 1399 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 1: idea what. I guess we'll find out on Sunday. But 1400 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 1: it's different in terms of like his focus right, Like 1401 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,599 Speaker 1: you can kind of see that Mac, that Macy back 1402 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 1: out there where he's kind of got that that confidence 1403 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:05,640 Speaker 1: in that swagger back a little bit and isn't just 1404 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,280 Speaker 1: kind of limping around out there and going through the motions. 1405 01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: So I definitely think that he feels closer, and whether 1406 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 1: it's this week or next week or whatever, I guess 1407 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,919 Speaker 1: we'll ultimately be a probably a Belichick. So Zappy talked yesterday, 1408 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:24,320 Speaker 1: which means the quarterback you know, the mandatory quarterback talk. 1409 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 1: You know, press conference is done, so you know they 1410 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,599 Speaker 1: don't have to Mac doesn't have to talk this week, 1411 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: and if he starts, they could say, well, you know, 1412 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 1: at the time Wednesday, you know he wasn't ready, but 1413 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: now he's ready and he's our starter. Yeah, I mean limited. 1414 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 1: I mean tomorrow's injury report is always an interesting moment 1415 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: if they're gonna roll anybody out. I mean two weeks 1416 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,639 Speaker 1: ago they did rule Mac out, but I think last 1417 01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 1: two geek he's doubtful. Um, so we'll see. Maybe he 1418 01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 1: gets to questionable on Friday and then and then he's 1419 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 1: got a chance. It could be a big week for 1420 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:57,160 Speaker 1: the Saturday downgrade. Oh yeah, because it's travel if you know, right, yeah, 1421 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 1: you'll get that people. If people don't know when you're 1422 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,600 Speaker 1: the traveling team, if a player doesn't travel, you have 1423 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: to downgrade him to out that Saturday. You can't wait 1424 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 1: until the Sunday report. You have to tell everybody that 1425 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 1: the player didn't travel and thus he's out. Yeah, we 1426 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,080 Speaker 1: spoke to Zappy yesterday, like you said, and a couple 1427 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 1: of questions. You know that the media is going to 1428 01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 1: come right at him and be like, so you started 1429 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday or what? And he was asked, you know, 1430 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,479 Speaker 1: are you preparing to be the starter? You know, what's 1431 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 1: sort of the vibe? What are they kind of asking 1432 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 1: you to do at practice this week? And all he 1433 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 1: would say was taking advantage of the reps they're giving 1434 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 1: me and doing trying to help the team. However, I 1435 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,880 Speaker 1: can you know things like that? And I thought, and 1436 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: the good Lord willing right. A couple of weeks ago, 1437 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:45,000 Speaker 1: I would say, I think it was probably after Baltimore, 1438 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,559 Speaker 1: after Mac's original injury. He gave a more convincing answer 1439 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,320 Speaker 1: of you know, I always prepare to be the starter 1440 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: even when I'm not going to be the starter type 1441 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: of answer. This week, it was just taking the reps 1442 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 1: they're giving me. So I don't know. I think that 1443 01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,200 Speaker 1: there is a little bit going on there that Mac 1444 01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: is trying to creep back in. Okay, I wish you 1445 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:02,720 Speaker 1: were there to ask him what the mood was. That 1446 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 1: would have probably been you could have gotten out of him, 1447 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: probably Billy. What was the mood? Oh yeah, somebody asked 1448 01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,000 Speaker 1: him if Mac was taking reps at practice and he's like, 1449 01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:16,679 Speaker 1: that's a question for coach Beligian. Nope, nope, not getting 1450 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,680 Speaker 1: in trouble. All right, eight five five Passive Hotline.

Yeah, is a gift. 1460 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,759 Speaker 1: You look fantastic. I have to ask, who are you wearing? 1461 01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,680 Speaker 1: Tommy b Okay, there is a Tommy Bahama one on there, 1462 01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 1: so I look. The other thing I want to talk 1463 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: about is moving prod it running back Stevenson I think 1464 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,040 Speaker 1: gives the Patriots a better look when even though I 1465 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,639 Speaker 1: like Harris, I think he's great, great, you know, power 1466 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: back and he hits the holes hard. It's just I 1467 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,640 Speaker 1: think the Patriots are less predictable with Stevenson being the 1468 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: lead back because you can't really determine if they're going 1469 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,200 Speaker 1: to be doing some play action or they're they're going 1470 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:26,640 Speaker 1: to be running or passing at that point where you know, 1471 01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:29,960 Speaker 1: you see Stevenson at times sometimes even run from the shotgun, 1472 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: where Harris wouldn't do that. So I think for that 1473 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:38,200 Speaker 1: reason you find that maybe there's less pressure coming at 1474 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,919 Speaker 1: at zappy because the blitz isn't as strong since they're 1475 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,000 Speaker 1: not defenses aren't really determining right at the look what's 1476 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,439 Speaker 1: going to happen? What do you think? I don't know 1477 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 1: the amount of times that you know, you know, Harris 1478 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 1: first Stevenson out of the shotgun and there's an inside 1479 01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: handoff or a draw something like that. I don't know 1480 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 1: the numbers, but it doesn't seem like, you know, Stevenson 1481 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,880 Speaker 1: right now is a big threat to catch the ball yet, 1482 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, not like James White was. Yeah, downfield, I 1483 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 1: mean some little like slip out and you know, check 1484 01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 1: down kind of stuff, but yeah he does. He's lined 1485 01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 1: up wide a couple of times though, right maybe a 1486 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:21,719 Speaker 1: few ye his splits are fifty seven forty three pass 1487 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,519 Speaker 1: right in favor of the pass. So he's been on 1488 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,000 Speaker 1: the field more for passing plays than running plays Harris. 1489 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,559 Speaker 1: That would not be the case with last year. Harris 1490 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,840 Speaker 1: was sixty percent run on the snaps that he played, 1491 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 1: so definitely more involved in the passing. He definitely more 1492 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 1: involved on third down. He's already outsnapped Harris all last 1493 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,600 Speaker 1: year on third down in the first five weeks of 1494 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,400 Speaker 1: the season. So you're using Stevenson a lot more in 1495 01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:47,800 Speaker 1: passing game situations. I think the one time where other 1496 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 1: than screens, because he caught that screen last week against 1497 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,920 Speaker 1: the Troy, made like three guys missed. It was a 1498 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 1: good play. He had an angle route over the middle 1499 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 1: against Green Bay where he was a shoe string tackle. 1500 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,280 Speaker 1: He was really close to breaking it, and I think 1501 01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,639 Speaker 1: that was probably the best route that I've seen him run, 1502 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: Like shake a guy at the top of the route, 1503 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 1: get yourself open and get into a potential, you know, 1504 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,760 Speaker 1: space opportunity. He just got tackled. You know. People have 1505 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 1: said it, and I'm probably Bill would agree. He's definitely 1506 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,680 Speaker 1: established himself as an every down back he can be 1507 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,160 Speaker 1: that well. It was a huge area of emphasis in 1508 01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: the offseason was thanks to make sure that they were 1509 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 1: throwing with Harris and Stevenson on the field more than 1510 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 1: they did last year, to be less predictable. And I 1511 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: don't really, I mean, it's great if you can get 1512 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 1: those guys involved as receivers obviously, you know, I guess, 1513 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:37,760 Speaker 1: especially a guy like Stevenson, you get him in space, 1514 01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,719 Speaker 1: that slant that Evan's talking about against Green Bay would 1515 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 1: looked like it was a hair away from being a 1516 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: really big play. But I don't. I'm not as worried 1517 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,120 Speaker 1: about them catching the ball as I am that they're 1518 01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 1: throwing the ball when they're on the field, and I 1519 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: think they have done that more this year, and the 1520 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,280 Speaker 1: numbers for Stevenson obviously back there. Yeah, I mean, just 1521 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,000 Speaker 1: even some of the early snaps, like in the second 1522 01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 1: half where they went, you know, six ozl Andy brought 1523 01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:01,920 Speaker 1: cannon on play action, you know, trying to hit guys. 1524 01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:03,679 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it seems like they're or whatever. 1525 01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 1: I just I'm curious what it's going to look like 1526 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,760 Speaker 1: now with with Harris presumably out. Yeah, you know, how 1527 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 1: do they how do they divvy up the roles? We've 1528 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 1: been talking. Yeah, I mean you want Stevenson to be 1529 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,840 Speaker 1: available in December, so yeah, you have to think about that. 1530 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,120 Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to give them thirty five carries, 1531 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, until Harris gets better. You have to figure 1532 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 1: it out. I mean it must be attempting with with 1533 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 1: you know what you've seen from Cleveland's run defense. But 1534 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's that's why I'll be a little disappointed. 1535 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 1: I mean, no offense to J. J. Taylor, but you know, 1536 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,600 Speaker 1: just you drafted those two guys. I would love to 1537 01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 1: see one of those two rookies, you know, just get 1538 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 1: a chance get their feet wet. I mean, we've seen 1539 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 1: the success that some of the rookies have had getting 1540 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 1: their feet wet, Marcus Jones as an example lately, you know, 1541 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 1: getting slowly involved a little bit, would be great to 1542 01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:46,720 Speaker 1: get you know, one of those guys. Just I mean, 1543 01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,560 Speaker 1: even if it like we said yesterday, Harris with the 1544 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 1: early down stuff, just don't fumble all or else you 1545 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 1: might not see the ball again until next year. Yeah, 1546 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 1: it's a I think it's funny though, because the predictability 1547 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,879 Speaker 1: thing is always something that I hear. But their numbers 1548 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:03,720 Speaker 1: are actually terrific. With Damien Harris even as predictable as 1549 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,439 Speaker 1: he was last year on the field because the play action, 1550 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 1: because teams are expecting run because he's sixty percent run, 1551 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,600 Speaker 1: and then you hit him with the play action, and 1552 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,680 Speaker 1: even though he's not catching the ball or really a 1553 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 1: big factor in the passing game, they were really efficient 1554 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 1: off of play actions. So in some ways the tell 1555 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 1: can work in their favor because everybody's selling out against 1556 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:24,880 Speaker 1: the run and then you hit him with the fake 1557 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:26,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it goes over their heads. 1558 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: But I hear people when they say that it's a 1559 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: little bit predictable, But I think there is a little 1560 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 1: bit of a method to the madness in the early 1561 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:38,479 Speaker 1: down sequencing Mike's and Puerto Rico. What's up, Mike? How 1562 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:43,720 Speaker 1: are you doing? How's everybody doing? Today's great good? I 1563 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 1: have to agree. I see Romandi out there, and I 1564 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:50,920 Speaker 1: don't know if anybody else that's the same thing. Whenever 1565 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,400 Speaker 1: I see him get the ball. The first thing that 1566 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,839 Speaker 1: comes from ears like Ron wrong run and the affiliate 1567 01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 1: they just have to move around and just thinks a 1568 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:02,960 Speaker 1: lot more aggressive and assertive when he's out there. Um 1569 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,479 Speaker 1: just trying to get down fields and make them most 1570 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:08,479 Speaker 1: out of every single yard, and now you're starting to 1571 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:12,040 Speaker 1: see hesitation from the from the defensive players that are 1572 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,720 Speaker 1: coming over to head. But the one thing that I 1573 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,680 Speaker 1: want to and I'm glad Evan is there because I 1574 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: send um, I don't know a tone that I can't 1575 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 1: really um pin down when he says, I don't know 1576 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 1: what but what people see out there regarding Bailey versus Max, 1577 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 1: And the more I see of Bailey and Paul and 1578 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 1: Evan may laugh at this, like the more I think 1579 01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 1: there's something about the way the team operates, the way 1580 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,479 Speaker 1: the the offense looks, is there's something specific, Dude, do 1581 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 1: we see practice every day? We don't, But there's just 1582 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:51,800 Speaker 1: a feeling out there when he is playing that just 1583 01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 1: lose a little bit more efficient, a little bit more effective, 1584 01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,640 Speaker 1: like things are going the way that they're supposed to, 1585 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: and there's not that sense of dread of that just 1586 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,519 Speaker 1: don't make a mistake, Just don't make a mistake, Whereas 1587 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 1: in the last couple of games from MAC, I've been 1588 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,519 Speaker 1: looking at it and you know, it's like, just don't 1589 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, just play safe, just be smart, just be smart. 1590 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: And I just don't feel like I don't I can't 1591 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 1: qualify it, but I just don't have those thoughts running 1592 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: through my head when I see Bailey out there. How 1593 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 1: did how did you feel about Mac last year? Though? 1594 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, have you you've just the last couple of 1595 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 1: games is what you've have made you lost confidence in 1596 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 1: Mac and made you feel like you just want him 1597 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:38,040 Speaker 1: to avoid mistakes. Um. I thought there was a lot 1598 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 1: of managing um obviously at the beginning of the season, 1599 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,720 Speaker 1: not letting him throw the ball along and stuff like that. 1600 01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,559 Speaker 1: And I don't know if if McDaniels or the team 1601 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,760 Speaker 1: ever actually came out at any pointy time and admitted 1602 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,839 Speaker 1: it that they were throwling him down, like just limiting 1603 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:57,800 Speaker 1: his options. But then maybe he just got a little 1604 01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:01,559 Speaker 1: too too loose, I don't know, maybe a little too 1605 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,280 Speaker 1: confident with the offense or confidence in in his ability. 1606 01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,639 Speaker 1: But um, it just started at the end of last 1607 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,680 Speaker 1: year even at the beginning of this year, like I 1608 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,600 Speaker 1: just don't feel comfortable with him out there. And I 1609 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 1: don't know if it might be the poppy with fan 1610 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:20,040 Speaker 1: or well there I'm with you. I just how can 1611 01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 1: you say thanks that they manage the games last year 1612 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: for Mac and that's why he was less turnover prone, 1613 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 1: but then not say they're managing the game for Baylor, 1614 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,840 Speaker 1: right right. It disappointed me. I think there was a 1615 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: chance that we could have got an even explosion. No, 1616 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 1: but I just I think I think max Max mistakes 1617 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,880 Speaker 1: this year are you know, a result of you know, 1618 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 1: making more chance, making more plays, make it, Yeah, trying 1619 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,200 Speaker 1: to make more plays. Some I think some of them 1620 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 1: too are some of them are Some of them are bad, 1621 01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, but I point stands trying to get it downfield. 1622 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's something they had to do. 1623 01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:55,679 Speaker 1: I just want to see what's it looked like with Thord. 1624 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 1: The first pick in the Baltimore game was really bad. 1625 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,200 Speaker 1: That was the when the linebacker was there and I 1626 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:02,680 Speaker 1: don't think he ever saw the line. You threw it 1627 01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,240 Speaker 1: right to a linebacker. Wasn't a great play design? Sorry, 1628 01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,720 Speaker 1: yeah no, but I'm just saying, you still gotta you 1629 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: can't just throw the ball now when there's a guy 1630 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:11,640 Speaker 1: standing and you threw it right to a guy and 1631 01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:14,639 Speaker 1: the other team. The other plays I don't really look 1632 01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,640 Speaker 1: at is like wild interceptions the way a lot of 1633 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:19,840 Speaker 1: other people And now I feel like I'm turning into 1634 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 1: a macapologist and I've never been there. Well remember how 1635 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: the season started. But he throws the interception in the 1636 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,080 Speaker 1: end zone, right, it was you know, it was a 1637 01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:31,000 Speaker 1: bad throw. It under thrown, and that mindset for the 1638 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 1: fans carries over, you know, that mistake and oh then 1639 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 1: he has another mistake, you know. But my my bigger 1640 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,680 Speaker 1: thing is not about Mac. It's about Zappy and what 1641 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 1: you know. And I know that the caller was directing 1642 01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:46,160 Speaker 1: at Evan and I don't you know, he can speak 1643 01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 1: for himself, but like the whole notion that you keep saying, 1644 01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,519 Speaker 1: what are you seeing? Yeah, from Zappy? And what I 1645 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:56,680 Speaker 1: see is like a lack of production in general. So like, 1646 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 1: I can't tell a guy how to feel. And the 1647 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 1: guy says he feels no dread, like no one asked 1648 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,200 Speaker 1: him to do anything. I like. But part of that 1649 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:07,600 Speaker 1: is but that's fine. He felt dread when Mack was 1650 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 1: out there, and he did. He doesn't feel that when 1651 01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 1: Zappy was, except for they scored points in the Baltimore 1652 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 1: game and they really haven't scored any points on offense 1653 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 1: and when when Zappi's played, I'm not blaming Zappy for that. 1654 01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: He's a third string quarterback playing his first couple of games. 1655 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 1: They obviously have a very tight leash on him, but 1656 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,720 Speaker 1: they're not really moving the ball and scoring points all that. Well, 1657 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 1: They're kicking some field goals here and there on short fields. 1658 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:34,760 Speaker 1: That's about it. Against against Baltimore, I thought they played 1659 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:38,120 Speaker 1: really well offensively, And yes, they made some mistakes which 1660 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,559 Speaker 1: which cost them a chance to ultimately win the game. 1661 01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,760 Speaker 1: But I would take the plays they made in the 1662 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 1: Baltimore game over anything I've seen the last two games 1663 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 1: offensively easily. Yeah, let's go to Jim and Connecticut. What's 1664 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:55,000 Speaker 1: up Jim? Hey Fred, how are you doing? Love the show? 1665 01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:57,880 Speaker 1: I just want to make a point quick of all, 1666 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,320 Speaker 1: Paul being my brothers relationship where we have knocked down 1667 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 1: you shoulder a few minutes later. Yeah, oh yeah. Um, 1668 01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: I just want to make some points about the defense 1669 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,880 Speaker 1: about this year. I thought the defense is okay, and 1670 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 1: during the Baltimore game, actually, um, you know, the defense 1671 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 1: didn't played great. But also you know, I have some 1672 01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 1: turnover to stuff. But um, I thought the kind of 1673 01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 1: it played competitive to a really good team, and I 1674 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 1: thought that was good. But um the thing about that 1675 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: game that I think hurts too is I think Dugger 1676 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 1: was out and I think he would have helped a 1677 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,360 Speaker 1: lot of help and cover Mark Mark Daniels a tight 1678 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:36,599 Speaker 1: end for Baltimore. Can't hurt having him in Andrews. Mark 1679 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:41,320 Speaker 1: Daniels is tough like every game pretty much mostly like 1680 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,599 Speaker 1: yeah him and Phillips. Yeah, yeah, all right. I think 1681 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 1: he certainly would have helped with Lamar Jackson's running because 1682 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 1: I think he's an excellent tackler. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad 1683 01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 1: the defense though, has like starting to get a base 1684 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,760 Speaker 1: of young players now, like Barmore and Jones. But I think, 1685 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 1: what do you guys think about it? I'm not big 1686 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:04,680 Speaker 1: on free agent, but what do you think about like 1687 01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:08,719 Speaker 1: a rope Clan Smith, it's a free agent because getting 1688 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:12,120 Speaker 1: the young linebackers almost like a Stefan Gilmore. We pay 1689 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,439 Speaker 1: too much too early, but then in time it's a 1690 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:19,360 Speaker 1: better um value later on. Yeah, I mean, I'd be 1691 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 1: all for it. I just I wonder how this is 1692 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 1: all gonna how this is all gonna play and into 1693 01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,680 Speaker 1: next year with you know what do they see this 1694 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:28,680 Speaker 1: year out of mac wilson and McMillan and to buy 1695 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 1: and all these guys are on one year deals, so 1696 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to rejigger this linebacker group somewhat. Well, 1697 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm worried about Week six. Yeah, me too, But Roquin 1698 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,800 Speaker 1: is not really their type of linebacker that's saying. I mean, 1699 01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:47,760 Speaker 1: why is that he's undersized? You know, he's a great player. 1700 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not a good player. I just 1701 01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,639 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean maybe the mac Wilson signing 1702 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 1: or trade it kind of signals that they're at least 1703 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:58,240 Speaker 1: looking at a different prototype at linebacker. But they can't 1704 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,360 Speaker 1: get mac Wilson on the field because of his you know, 1705 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 1: issues that they knew schematically they probably were going to have. 1706 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's great player. I just don't 1707 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,640 Speaker 1: know paying that guy that kind of money when he 1708 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:14,040 Speaker 1: doesn't really fit what you do is the best idea, 1709 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,040 Speaker 1: And I like, you know me, Fred, I'd never care 1710 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,320 Speaker 1: about the money. I'm not sure how much money, because 1711 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,080 Speaker 1: it is kind of a position that doesn't break the bank. Yeh, 1712 01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, you're looking at double digits at least. 1713 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, I mean if you want a player, 1714 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that kind of like bass. I mean, 1715 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,120 Speaker 1: get double digits to Nelson Aggalore, god sakes, I mean, yeah, 1716 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,519 Speaker 1: Williams and fellam. What's up William what's going on for it? 1717 01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 1: How are you doing good? Okay? Um? Just two questions 1718 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:44,920 Speaker 1: an I'm out your way. One is, um, can you 1719 01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:46,840 Speaker 1: give me a player that you would want on the 1720 01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 1: team though I were a position, like a realistic you 1721 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 1: know if as a trade whatever, who you would want though, 1722 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,879 Speaker 1: just realistic think of it like you're being Bill Billichick, 1723 01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:00,720 Speaker 1: be like, who would you want on the team for 1724 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 1: trade this year? Like before the deadline? Or like are 1725 01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 1: you including like next year? Two? Yeah, you could say, well, 1726 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: now I'm gonna say I'm gonna stick to this year. 1727 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 1: So something before the deadline this year? Right, God, there's 1728 01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 1: a lot of names out there, Like I'm trying to 1729 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 1: think like realistically though. So there's a name that I 1730 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,040 Speaker 1: threw out there yesterday on the on Catch twenty two 1731 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,960 Speaker 1: check it out two to three pm Wednesdays. Uh. That 1732 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 1: is on Carolina. Interesting situation going on there, Derek Brown, 1733 01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:38,320 Speaker 1: nose tackle on the Panthers, former seventh overall pick, not 1734 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 1: living up to that billing because he's a nose tackle 1735 01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 1: and let's face it, he's not gonna put up the 1736 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 1: stats that people want. A seventh overall pick to put up. 1737 01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:49,840 Speaker 1: But he's got the two gap nose tackle mold down 1738 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,960 Speaker 1: to a t. Here. You're not looking for him to 1739 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,840 Speaker 1: be a top ten type of production guy. And I 1740 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,200 Speaker 1: really think ultimately, I think as a good player no 1741 01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,320 Speaker 1: matter where you lie him up. But I think ultimately 1742 01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,800 Speaker 1: he's better off the nose than he is on the nose. 1743 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,120 Speaker 1: Might be able to free him up. And you got 1744 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 1: the twenty eighth ranked run defense in the league by 1745 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 1: dv Oa. You had another three hundred and thirty pound 1746 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:12,840 Speaker 1: guy in the middle of the defense. It's only going 1747 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:15,760 Speaker 1: to help with that problem. So if there's anybody on 1748 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,920 Speaker 1: the Panthers roster that I think all the talk about 1749 01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,320 Speaker 1: wide receivers is ridiculous, they don't. They already have too 1750 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,200 Speaker 1: many wide Receivershi Banning, Robbie Anderson in and I don't 1751 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 1: think those guys would represent a demonstrative improvement, right. And 1752 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:29,720 Speaker 1: I like DJ Moore, but you don't like how much 1753 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 1: better was he than all the guys you have, right? 1754 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, I would look at Derek Brown. I know 1755 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 1: they also really like to take those guys that they 1756 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:38,320 Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to get in the draft. I'm 1757 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,479 Speaker 1: sure that they love his former first round I am 1758 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 1: sure they had Derek Brown granted out extremely highly coming 1759 01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 1: out of Auburn, just the way he plays. What year 1760 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,080 Speaker 1: he's in his fourth year, ninth, so he has that 1761 01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,479 Speaker 1: kid chair off. He was there when we went to 1762 01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,000 Speaker 1: the first combine. Yeah, I just got my first inkling. 1763 01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,040 Speaker 1: Like I listen, I know Carolina is probably going to 1764 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 1: be selling off a lot of pieces, but I'm not 1765 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,320 Speaker 1: sure it makes a lot of sense to sell young pieces. 1766 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:07,720 Speaker 1: But he might be far enough along that he could 1767 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 1: be available. I mean, what position would you go to though, 1768 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, just looking at the Patriots roster, not even 1769 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,400 Speaker 1: considering a specific not necessarily wanting to bring up the 1770 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: Roquan Smith thing, but like I would love an athletic 1771 01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:21,559 Speaker 1: inside linebacker. M So maybe Bentley's not playing as much. 1772 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:25,000 Speaker 1: But you know, like I don't know how realistic, you know, 1773 01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,479 Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to like really like that's a realistic 1774 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 1: option that Evan gave there with Derek. Like that, that's 1775 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:32,679 Speaker 1: a kind of guy that I could see Bill being 1776 01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:35,360 Speaker 1: interested in. He loves former first round picks that don't 1777 01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,439 Speaker 1: pan out because he can get more out of them, 1778 01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 1: and he would like odd front nose tackle. That's Derek 1779 01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,599 Speaker 1: Brown's role. But Bentley's tough because Jonathan Sullivan's rule to him. 1780 01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 1: He certainly has some limitations in coverage and we in space, 1781 01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:52,439 Speaker 1: we all know that. But they need a linebacker, especially 1782 01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 1: they're running a lot of this you know, five one 1783 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:57,360 Speaker 1: front where there's really only one true inside linebacker off 1784 01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,040 Speaker 1: the ball, and they need somebody that can play A 1785 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:03,160 Speaker 1: and B gap and hold up. And if like hold up, 1786 01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean that that's kind of not necessarily in line 1787 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:07,840 Speaker 1: with the ex's knows that you were just talking all 1788 01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 1: but just that position. I think I think that they 1789 01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 1: rolled the dice and said we don't need it in 1790 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,599 Speaker 1: the draft. And most of the guys that I think 1791 01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:20,439 Speaker 1: they were looking at feeling big roles have yet to 1792 01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:24,840 Speaker 1: really feel a big role. I think is emergent promising, yeah, 1793 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, you know, and maybe ray Kwon McMillan's quiet 1794 01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,720 Speaker 1: start was was more health related, and maybe he I mean, 1795 01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 1: he made a play the other day. So maybe you 1796 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,759 Speaker 1: get more out of those two guys, say, in two weeks, 1797 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:38,800 Speaker 1: than you did in the previous three. It's just tough 1798 01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:41,040 Speaker 1: because if you're going to play this style of defense 1799 01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:44,479 Speaker 1: is three three five that they're playing, you're leaving the 1800 01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 1: guards uncovered on the line of scrimmage. And so if 1801 01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 1: you have a two hundred and thirty pound linebacker at 1802 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,280 Speaker 1: the second level and they're pulling guards towards them, it's 1803 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:53,599 Speaker 1: game over. So the only guy that they had, I mean, 1804 01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:56,000 Speaker 1: I think McMillan, he showed he had one or two 1805 01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:57,800 Speaker 1: plays last week where he was able to blow up 1806 01:30:58,040 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 1: a puller or a guy climbing to the second level 1807 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:01,599 Speaker 1: and make a play. One of them he shot the gap. 1808 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,200 Speaker 1: So those are plays that maybe that he can start 1809 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:05,800 Speaker 1: to emerge a little bit more because he has a 1810 01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:07,639 Speaker 1: little bit of a downhill thump to him as well. 1811 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:09,799 Speaker 1: But if you're going to play this kind of system 1812 01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:11,680 Speaker 1: and you're gonna put a two hundred and twenty five 1813 01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 1: linebacker there at the second level, it's not going to 1814 01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 1: work out. I mean, they need to have somebody there 1815 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 1: that can take on blocks. I know that frustrates some people, 1816 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 1: but but I mean, is it too much to ask 1817 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:21,920 Speaker 1: that they can take on blocks and make plays like 1818 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,200 Speaker 1: That's what I feel like. I feel like Bentley's great 1819 01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 1: at taking on blocks, but he just don't get off. 1820 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:27,479 Speaker 1: I mean, they don't make plays, you know, like it's fine, 1821 01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:29,759 Speaker 1: you just we need a kamikaze to run into guards, 1822 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,080 Speaker 1: like you know, but like at a certain point, like 1823 01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:33,880 Speaker 1: where I'm getting to is like, you know, and I 1824 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,040 Speaker 1: think that McMillan play you talked about where it was like, hey, 1825 01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,320 Speaker 1: met a guy in the hole, shed them made the tackle, 1826 01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 1: Like why did that look so novel to me? You know, 1827 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen enough. You talk about what their rank lasting. 1828 01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're thirty second in stuffed runs, 1829 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 1: so you know, like they're not making places behind the 1830 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,800 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage at the terrible rate. So I don't 1831 01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,360 Speaker 1: know that's that's just I mean, I get everything you're 1832 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 1: saying about with the style they're playing. I just the 1833 01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 1: frustrating thing for me is that linebackers don't make plays. 1834 01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:58,920 Speaker 1: And this is where I'm I will side with Fred 1835 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,800 Speaker 1: like that their numbers are terrible in that, but I 1836 01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:06,800 Speaker 1: saw improvement in that area certainly. I mean to I 1837 01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,600 Speaker 1: think they had I don't know how many, but the 1838 01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:15,400 Speaker 1: fourth and one. It's just hard loss if you have 1839 01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,720 Speaker 1: I think the point I agree with you totally Mike, 1840 01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 1: that they don't make enough splash plays at the second 1841 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 1: level from the linebacker group. But the problem is is 1842 01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:25,599 Speaker 1: that it's like, you know, a chicken or the egg 1843 01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:28,240 Speaker 1: situation because they need the two hundred and fifty five 1844 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,320 Speaker 1: pound linebacker to plug the being a gaps against the 1845 01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 1: run because of the style of front that they're playing. 1846 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 1: But that those guys don't have playmaking. They don't have speed, right, 1847 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,120 Speaker 1: they don't have the playmaking qualities that other guys have. 1848 01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,360 Speaker 1: So what I find interesting is they they trade for 1849 01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:44,960 Speaker 1: a guy like Mac Wilson, for example, but they didn't 1850 01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,479 Speaker 1: change the front, like they didn't change the side with right. 1851 01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 1: They're just asking him to deal with it essentially. So 1852 01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,559 Speaker 1: that's the problem is like how many people are walking 1853 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,320 Speaker 1: on this planet that are two hundred and sixty pounds 1854 01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:59,599 Speaker 1: that can also grange sideline to sideline and also cover 1855 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,479 Speaker 1: and also take on blocks Like I think Prime Jamie 1856 01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,920 Speaker 1: Collins is like a cyborg in that respect, right that 1857 01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:06,800 Speaker 1: he was able to do all those things. He wasn't 1858 01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 1: a great run player now because of yeah, because of 1859 01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,800 Speaker 1: his his play recognition, but those are the things that 1860 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, you can't have it one way or another. 1861 01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 1: And like a teams that have these lighter linebackers typically 1862 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 1: play out of a four to three so that they 1863 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:21,360 Speaker 1: can get more guys to cover gaps on the line 1864 01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:23,640 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And the Patriots are three fourteen. All right, 1865 01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 1: one more call and then we'll get to the picks. 1866 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,880 Speaker 1: Will's in the barber shop. What's up, Will? Are you 1867 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:33,559 Speaker 1: doing guys? You getting the junior boys regular? Yes, sir? Okay. 1868 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,680 Speaker 1: So I just have two points I want to touch 1869 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,640 Speaker 1: on today. One of them is I really like what 1870 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:42,920 Speaker 1: they did with the offensive line last week. I believe 1871 01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:45,600 Speaker 1: that they were stacking Isaiah When and MICUs Cannon on 1872 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:48,320 Speaker 1: one side, and Cannon was reporting as eligible to help 1873 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:51,120 Speaker 1: with the run. I thought that was really really awesome 1874 01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 1: to help them, you know, move the ball on the 1875 01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 1: ground a lot more. Yep. And I think that the 1876 01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:59,640 Speaker 1: second point I wanted to make was, you know, the 1877 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,880 Speaker 1: friend point, like they're gonna throw all their progressions early on. 1878 01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:06,960 Speaker 1: I think everybody's just losing their shirt over Bailey z Appy, 1879 01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:08,439 Speaker 1: and I think they just need to pump the brakes 1880 01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:10,120 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. I think Mac Jones is 1881 01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:13,120 Speaker 1: a much more capable quarterback at this point. And I 1882 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:16,160 Speaker 1: just think that people have such recency bias against Mac 1883 01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 1: Jones that they're just really kind of blindfolded by I know, 1884 01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:26,840 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. Yeah, that's why it's a good thing 1885 01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:28,880 Speaker 1: that we have people who know what they're looking at 1886 01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:32,880 Speaker 1: running the team and not the fans. Yeah kidding, I 1887 01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:36,840 Speaker 1: heard all reaching the show. Yeah all right, well thanks, well, 1888 01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,800 Speaker 1: appreciate your calling in. All right, it's that time of 1889 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:48,639 Speaker 1: the week. Follow what happened last week? All right? Last 1890 01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:54,920 Speaker 1: week Fred back from the dead twelve and four, don't 1891 01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:59,479 Speaker 1: get too excited, followed by Mike and Paul at eleven 1892 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:03,200 Speaker 1: and five, five and Evan ten and six. So a 1893 01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:05,360 Speaker 1: good week, So a good week for everybody. Last week 1894 01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:11,600 Speaker 1: we're all solid winning record with the spread. Mike and 1895 01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:17,880 Speaker 1: Paul nine six and one, Evan six nine and one, 1896 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:23,280 Speaker 1: and Fred five ten and one. How does that? How 1897 01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:28,000 Speaker 1: did that happen? It's not a good year. That's got 1898 01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,840 Speaker 1: to be very rare when somebody wins the straight up 1899 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,519 Speaker 1: but then a dead last in the Wow. Listen for example, 1900 01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,400 Speaker 1: that I picked the Patriots to not cover. As you know, 1901 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:40,439 Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, so I don't have it um. 1902 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:46,000 Speaker 1: So overall the standings, RS follows Paul no surprise for 1903 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:50,080 Speaker 1: fifty twenty nine and one, followed by Mike and Fred 1904 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,439 Speaker 1: at forty four, thirty five and one, Evans twenty two 1905 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 1: and ten.

You stiffed me with the pixel. 1908 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,519 Speaker 1: I was really upset about it when the game started. 1909 01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,680 Speaker 1: I literally you forgot. It's okay, It's all right. You 1910 01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:12,680 Speaker 1: can always write him down and he can fill it well. 1911 01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,920 Speaker 1: When I'm not on the show on Thursdays, she sends 1912 01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:18,479 Speaker 1: me on the slack and about eight days later I 1913 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:23,560 Speaker 1: find him.

Yes it should. Of course, 1927 01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:17,879 Speaker 1: the Commanders are in the news. So how how ironic 1928 01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,240 Speaker 1: that they just happened to be playing tonight. Um, I'm 1929 01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,280 Speaker 1: gonna go back to that thing, the caller said, two 1930 01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,360 Speaker 1: bad teams. I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Chicago and 1931 01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,960 Speaker 1: kill Harry Factor. Give me the home team. I'll lay 1932 01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,400 Speaker 1: the point. Do you hear? By the way, what Rivera 1933 01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:35,040 Speaker 1: said about the quarterback the course, I mean he I 1934 01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:37,559 Speaker 1: thought he did a good job of damage control afterwards, 1935 01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 1: but what was his damage control? What did he do well? 1936 01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:41,840 Speaker 1: How do you damage He threw himself on the store 1937 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:43,880 Speaker 1: and he was like that Sid it was you know, 1938 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:46,240 Speaker 1: it was a dumb comment. I you know, I pride 1939 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:49,120 Speaker 1: myself on not being a distraction. We preached that, We've 1940 01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:52,439 Speaker 1: addressed it, he addressed in the team meeting. He I mean, 1941 01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,920 Speaker 1: he apologized for it, but can't take it back. It's 1942 01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:56,479 Speaker 1: out there when he's going back. He was just being 1943 01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:01,680 Speaker 1: honest right forever, right, Sorry for the honesty. Alex, what 1944 01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:04,840 Speaker 1: do you got Chicago by one?

I don't know, maybe they rally around 1947 01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 1: this news and we're not a dysfunctional organization. Our coaches 1948 01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,599 Speaker 1: throwing the quarterback under the bus. We're not blackmailing all 1949 01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 1: the other owners. Yeah, I think it'd be fun to see, 1950 01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,120 Speaker 1: So I want to speak it into existence. Okay, when 1951 01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:31,599 Speaker 1: Washington against spread and Washington to win. Oh, sorry, Evan, 1952 01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Bears. Bears. The best thing about this 1953 01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:36,600 Speaker 1: game is the Bears running game, so I'm going to 1954 01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:38,880 Speaker 1: count on the Bears. I think the best game is 1955 01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:41,920 Speaker 1: those orange helmets, which I think look really cool. I 1956 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:46,759 Speaker 1: will take the Bears as well. Bears Bears win, setting 1957 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:51,320 Speaker 1: up a big five hundred. Oh I think I just 1958 01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:55,920 Speaker 1: got a peek into Fred's pick later in the show. Um, 1959 01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:00,639 Speaker 1: Sunday at one, the three and two four nine Ers 1960 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:05,200 Speaker 1: are at the two and three Falcons San Francisco, Buy 1961 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,000 Speaker 1: five and a half. I think this game is actually 1962 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,760 Speaker 1: at nine thirty on this based off this schedule. Oh yeah, 1963 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:12,920 Speaker 1: Oh was it a are we Internet? Yeah? The NFL 1964 01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,400 Speaker 1: dot com has it at one, but they don't even 1965 01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:18,439 Speaker 1: have a nine thirty games at a London game. I 1966 01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,760 Speaker 1: didn't know this is merced then this this is very 1967 01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,200 Speaker 1: very well wrong, Evan, So don't go off on my show. Yeah, 1968 01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:26,439 Speaker 1: they don't have an anyway. San Francisco's buy five and 1969 01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 1: a half five and a half. Uh yeah, I'm gonna 1970 01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Jimmy G on the road. I San 1971 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,320 Speaker 1: Francisco is a little bit weird, but I think I 1972 01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:40,960 Speaker 1: think they'll get the jot down against the Falcons. Alex okay, 1973 01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:45,840 Speaker 1: San Fran, San Fran, Evan. I'm taking San Francisco to win, 1974 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 1: but I'm taking Atlanta to cover because I like Dean 1975 01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:55,599 Speaker 1: Peace against JIMMG. Peace be with you. Um. I thought 1976 01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:57,800 Speaker 1: about it, but I'm gonna stick with the Niners both ways. 1977 01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,000 Speaker 1: That Niners defense is really impact. I don't think it's 1978 01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:02,240 Speaker 1: I don't get through a lot of good defenses in football. 1979 01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,479 Speaker 1: That's one of them. At their defenses, del Rio, I 1980 01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:08,800 Speaker 1: will I will take the forty nine ers both an 1981 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:13,400 Speaker 1: old forty nine Ers both ways. Sunday at one, the 1982 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:17,560 Speaker 1: three and two Jets are at the three and two Packers, 1983 01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 1: green Bay by seven, seven it's good good good tests 1984 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 1: for the Jets. I mean they Yeah, I know, three 1985 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 1: and two not a bad start winning some games. Uh. 1986 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,800 Speaker 1: I gotta go with the hometown pack though, Go Pack 1987 01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:37,320 Speaker 1: go um. But yeah, now I'm gonna lay the points. Yeah, 1988 01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,640 Speaker 1: I need Green Bay to put the Jets back in 1989 01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:43,639 Speaker 1: their place. Green Bay both ways. I like Green Bay. 1990 01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:45,640 Speaker 1: I like them both ways too. I feel like the 1991 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:49,080 Speaker 1: Packers at some point have that level that they're just 1992 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,680 Speaker 1: better than the Jets. Yeah, I think that as well. 1993 01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,600 Speaker 1: I think the Jets stink. I think they're going to 1994 01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:56,320 Speaker 1: get better because I think they have all the good 1995 01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,200 Speaker 1: young players. I just think it's hard to be good 1996 01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:00,559 Speaker 1: with all first and second year players playing so many 1997 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,920 Speaker 1: key roles. But I will take the points because I 1998 01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,360 Speaker 1: don't think Green Bay is all that good. Yeah, I'm 1999 01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:08,439 Speaker 1: with Paul. I say the Jets cover even though Packers 2000 01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,720 Speaker 1: went at home. Um, it might be a backdoor cover too, 2001 01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:13,760 Speaker 1: like Green Bayer, I think we'll have the game. I 2002 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:15,559 Speaker 1: don't think it'll be in jeopardy. Yeah. I don't think 2003 01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 1: the Jets are as bad as Paul thinks they are. 2004 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,720 Speaker 1: I think they're No, I think they're they're stink. Yeah. Well, 2005 01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 1: I think they're just too young. Stink is too too 2006 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:26,800 Speaker 1: strong of a word that might sink. Yeah, yeah, I don't. 2007 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't mind him. I just I think they have 2008 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,320 Speaker 1: a lot of good young players. I just think it's 2009 01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:33,080 Speaker 1: hard to be really good with all young players and 2010 01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,320 Speaker 1: it's young. It's like the youngest roster in the league 2011 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:37,760 Speaker 1: Sunday at one, one of the youngest, the two and 2012 01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,519 Speaker 1: three Jaguars are at the two, two and one Colts 2013 01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:46,000 Speaker 1: Colts by one and a half. Who the tough one, 2014 01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:52,000 Speaker 1: of course, Jacksonville AFC South sneaky tough games to call. 2015 01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm really struggling with this one right now. And uh 2016 01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:58,719 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna go with Indie at home based 2017 01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:00,840 Speaker 1: on based on that jackson They'll win last year. I 2018 01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:02,519 Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna they're gonna be locked in on 2019 01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 1: this one. I do think Jacksonville is better, but I'm 2020 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:05,760 Speaker 1: gonna take Indie at home on the way the point 2021 01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:07,519 Speaker 1: and I would say one a half, one and a 2022 01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 1: half Indie Indie. I'm taking the Jacks. These these games, 2023 01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:17,000 Speaker 1: these interdivision games, they have some weird trends, you know, 2024 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:19,040 Speaker 1: where teams just beat up on each other. And I 2025 01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:22,559 Speaker 1: think Jacksonville is Jacksonville absolutely owns the Colts. They've shut 2026 01:42:22,600 --> 01:42:24,479 Speaker 1: them out in a week two twenty four to nothing 2027 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:27,920 Speaker 1: or whatever it was. Yeah, Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna 2028 01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,360 Speaker 1: buck the trend. I'm gonna go with Indie. I think 2029 01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,080 Speaker 1: they had ten days off. I think Jacksonville might be 2030 01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,479 Speaker 1: thinking to themselves, we are what everybody thought we were 2031 01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:39,880 Speaker 1: after their disappointing lost last week to Houston. I'm gonna 2032 01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,080 Speaker 1: take the Colts, but I don't feel great about it. Yeah, 2033 01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:46,519 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is like a ridiculous heck over the Colts. Yeah, 2034 01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: and it's tough to win, you know, beat the same 2035 01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 1: team twice and you're DIVI I am gonna go with 2036 01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:56,560 Speaker 1: Evan Jacksonville wins this game. Um, you definitely want the 2037 01:42:56,920 --> 01:43:01,800 Speaker 1: seen my record. I just like the conviction, you know. Uh. 2038 01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:05,519 Speaker 1: Sunday at one, the four and four and War four 2039 01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:09,120 Speaker 1: and one Vikings are at the three and two Dolphins 2040 01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:14,519 Speaker 1: with their third string quarterback, Minnesota by three and a half. Yes, 2041 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:18,720 Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson, Teddy's not playing in this game. Not playing. No, 2042 01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:22,000 Speaker 1: he came right out, McDaniel came right out. Ridiculous. Yeah, 2043 01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:26,160 Speaker 1: he's like he's in concussion protocol. And didn't have a concussion. Yeah, 2044 01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Yeah, we're going too far the other way. 2045 01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:32,200 Speaker 1: This is what happens. I feel bad it's deiling, not 2046 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Yeah, it's derailing the season though, Like 2047 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:37,960 Speaker 1: it's not you know whatever. I'm gonna take the Vikings 2048 01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,760 Speaker 1: on the road, not on primetime. But I just think 2049 01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:43,439 Speaker 1: it's too much for Miami right now. Yeah, I think 2050 01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:49,200 Speaker 1: it's sorry Minnesota. Well, I like that Minnesota. I'm just 2051 01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:53,120 Speaker 1: watching Tom Brady on NFL Network now doing a press 2052 01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:56,640 Speaker 1: conference here anymore. He never wore a Patriots cap. It 2053 01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:59,360 Speaker 1: was always TV twelve, and now he's got a Tampa 2054 01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,960 Speaker 1: Bay cap. Tom's camouflage killing me, You're killing me, and 2055 01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: he's got a Tampa Bay shirt on. That's too much, Yeah, Evans. Anyways, 2056 01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him Minnesota too. I don't like it. 2057 01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:17,680 Speaker 1: But I think that color Thomson last week was a 2058 01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:19,679 Speaker 1: mess when he had to go in there for Miami. 2059 01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:25,480 Speaker 1: I feel bad for Teddy. Okay, uh, I will take Minnesota, 2060 01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:28,400 Speaker 1: and I will take the hook and I'll take the points. Um. 2061 01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:31,760 Speaker 1: I think the Vikings will win the game. Um, it's 2062 01:44:32,760 --> 01:44:35,800 Speaker 1: asking too much for it for them to beat a 2063 01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:40,080 Speaker 1: good team like that with third string quarterback. But I 2064 01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 1: think I think, just like last week, they'll have a chance. Yeah, 2065 01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:45,040 Speaker 1: kicking a field goal in the fourth quarter to take 2066 01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:47,760 Speaker 1: the lead, he missed it. I think that then the 2067 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:51,720 Speaker 1: Wheels came off right. So I think the Vikings cover. 2068 01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:55,760 Speaker 1: They win and cover this game. Sunday at one, the 2069 01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 1: two and three Bengals are at the two and three Saints. 2070 01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:04,160 Speaker 1: Bengals by one and a half. Bengals by one and 2071 01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,840 Speaker 1: a half. So this is like who Dave versus Who Dat? 2072 01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:10,479 Speaker 1: Who Dat Who day verse who that I'm gonna go 2073 01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:13,760 Speaker 1: as it's tough. I'm gonna go with Joe Burrow on 2074 01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 1: the road. Um, that's a tough one, though. I'm gonna 2075 01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,920 Speaker 1: take him and I'll play the points. I also wrote 2076 01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:25,960 Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals both ways. I 2077 01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:28,240 Speaker 1: can't get a read on the Bengals. It's a tough team. 2078 01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:31,280 Speaker 1: They got so much talent, but they're just not playing 2079 01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:35,880 Speaker 1: up to its post Super Bowl. Yeah, that might be it. 2080 01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:39,800 Speaker 1: I'll take Cincinnati. I'll take them both ways. I don't Yeah, 2081 01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:43,360 Speaker 1: I'll take Cincinnati to New Orleans. I think a lot 2082 01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,160 Speaker 1: of the New Orleans defense, but it hasn't played very well. Yeah, 2083 01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand alone. Am I the only one taking 2084 01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:52,320 Speaker 1: the Saints? Yeah? Yeah, I think we know why? Why? 2085 01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:56,200 Speaker 1: Because they were mean to us? I know. Um. There 2086 01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:59,040 Speaker 1: was an interesting story on NFL dot com today though 2087 01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:03,720 Speaker 1: about when Tim Tebow was playing at Miami. You know 2088 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:07,559 Speaker 1: they uh it was a bowl game? No, no, Tim 2089 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,439 Speaker 1: Tebow wasn't. I'll never mind forget it. Good story anyway, 2090 01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:13,600 Speaker 1: great story. If Joe Burrow lights it up, could this 2091 01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:17,360 Speaker 1: become a home game for him because of the Yeah 2092 01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:21,240 Speaker 1: that's what happened in Florida with Tim Tebow. Yeah, Chase 2093 01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:25,439 Speaker 1: Chase too? Yeah yeah. Um. Sunday at one, the three 2094 01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,719 Speaker 1: and two Ravens are at the four and one Giants 2095 01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:35,439 Speaker 1: Baltimore by five and a half. Uh yeah, I don't. 2096 01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't. I like the Giants. I like Dable's doing, 2097 01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:40,800 Speaker 1: but I think Baltimore is uh the best team, and 2098 01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:42,519 Speaker 1: we're one of the best teams. Namecy right now. I'll 2099 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,680 Speaker 1: take them, and I'll lay the points. Yeah, Baltimore to win, 2100 01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:51,040 Speaker 1: Baltimore points. I like Baltimore to win. I'll give the Giants, 2101 01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,800 Speaker 1: oh the points, throw them a bone. I don't know. 2102 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,120 Speaker 1: I I can't. I can't believe the Giants right now. 2103 01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:01,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's for real. But maybe maybe they're 2104 01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:03,920 Speaker 1: more competitive than I think. Yeah, I'm the same way. Um, 2105 01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:07,040 Speaker 1: I think Baltimore will, without question, at some point in 2106 01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:09,559 Speaker 1: the game be covering, but they won't end up covering. 2107 01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:12,040 Speaker 1: I'll take Baltimore to win, but the Giants will keep 2108 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:14,559 Speaker 1: it close. That's the same way I'll take that hook 2109 01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 1: um Sunday at one, three and two Buccaneers at the 2110 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:22,400 Speaker 1: one and four Steelers, Bucks by eight and a half. 2111 01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:25,599 Speaker 1: That's not enough. Yeah, that's not enough. I'm taking Tampa. 2112 01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,479 Speaker 1: No problem with the pretty healthy road favorite though it 2113 01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:31,160 Speaker 1: was like eleven and a half really, because home team 2114 01:47:31,240 --> 01:47:33,920 Speaker 1: usually gets like a field goal, that's right. Yeah, yeah, 2115 01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:36,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, home team usually gets like 2116 01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:39,759 Speaker 1: two three points. Because you said that, dude, you got Tampa. 2117 01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:50,280 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, same retweet. I might check this game 2118 01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,160 Speaker 1: out just to watch Brady destroy the Steelers defense like 2119 01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 1: he does every single time he plays Pittsburgh. Fair points. Yeah, 2120 01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:00,240 Speaker 1: I'll lay the points in this show. Yeah, I'll go 2121 01:48:00,360 --> 01:48:03,160 Speaker 1: with Brady both ways. All right. Now we skip over 2122 01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:07,640 Speaker 1: yeah you will? Oh, we skip over the Patriots at 2123 01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:11,840 Speaker 1: one o'clock and we move to four oh five where 2124 01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:15,080 Speaker 1: the one and four Panthers are visiting the two and 2125 01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,320 Speaker 1: three Rams. Oh, the Rams by ten and a half. 2126 01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,600 Speaker 1: Ten and a half. Just to let everybody know, I 2127 01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:23,960 Speaker 1: don't think cup Or Donald practice yesterday for the Rams. Wow. 2128 01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:27,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Ye um, But I think the Carolina 2129 01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:29,880 Speaker 1: Panthers are going down the tubes. Their coach is gone 2130 01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:32,840 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be Maybe that's a good thing, not good. 2131 01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:35,320 Speaker 1: I think they're a lot, They're they're wayward suns. They're gone. 2132 01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,559 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Rams, and I'm even gonna dump 2133 01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:40,680 Speaker 1: those points too. I took the Rams to win, but 2134 01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:44,560 Speaker 1: I gave Carolina the points. I'm with Alex on this 2135 01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:47,000 Speaker 1: one and with Fred. I think sometimes the coach getting 2136 01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:49,840 Speaker 1: fire can galvanize the troops a little bit, make it 2137 01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:52,760 Speaker 1: more competitive. But it's a big spread the Ram. Yeah, 2138 01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:54,680 Speaker 1: it's big spread. But ultimately I think the Rams win, 2139 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,599 Speaker 1: but I think Carolina covers that spread. Yeah, I will 2140 01:48:57,680 --> 01:48:59,360 Speaker 1: lay the points with the Rams. The Rams are in 2141 01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:02,240 Speaker 1: trouble if they can figure out how to protect the passer, though, um, 2142 01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:05,679 Speaker 1: They're they're gonna be in disarray. If Stafford keeps getting 2143 01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,200 Speaker 1: hit the way he is. They think he's sacked like 2144 01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:10,639 Speaker 1: twenty one times or something. I know it's it doesn't 2145 01:49:10,640 --> 01:49:13,120 Speaker 1: even really matter. Yeah, So I'll take the Rams because 2146 01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:15,519 Speaker 1: I think that the coach um. I don't think they 2147 01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,400 Speaker 1: hated the coach. I think when they hate the coach 2148 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,120 Speaker 1: and he gets fired, there's a little of that rallying. 2149 01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:23,479 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I don't know the Carolina situation closely, 2150 01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:26,240 Speaker 1: but I haven't really heard any players coming up. Maybe 2151 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:29,679 Speaker 1: I missed them, and it sounds like they're more Yeah, 2152 01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:31,879 Speaker 1: I think that. I think there's more talk in Carolina 2153 01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,439 Speaker 1: about a fighter. Say, yeah, you know Christian McCaffrey and 2154 01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,400 Speaker 1: where he's going, and this guy and where he's going, 2155 01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:38,639 Speaker 1: and we're going right through Derek Brown. I think there'll 2156 01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:41,080 Speaker 1: be some guys on the Panthers going on ir shortly, 2157 01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,960 Speaker 1: just shutting it down in a tough spot that like, offensively, 2158 01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:46,519 Speaker 1: the Rams are bad right now. They just don't have 2159 01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:49,000 Speaker 1: enough talent on offense. They don't have a good offensive line. 2160 01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,160 Speaker 1: It's Cooper Cupper bust Like, they just don't have a 2161 01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:52,840 Speaker 1: lot of talent on that side of the line. The 2162 01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:56,160 Speaker 1: line is really really struggling. Yeah, I'm gonna go rams win, 2163 01:49:56,320 --> 01:50:00,040 Speaker 1: but I will take the points four or five. I 2164 01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,640 Speaker 1: have two and three Cardinals are at the two and 2165 01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,839 Speaker 1: three Seahawks like Gino Cook. So this is an interesting 2166 01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:09,920 Speaker 1: game time because if the Mariners in Houston have to 2167 01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:11,880 Speaker 1: play in the game four, they're changing the time of 2168 01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:14,600 Speaker 1: this game. They're pushing it back like an hour and 2169 01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:16,960 Speaker 1: a half. Oh yeah, let's have a little middle game. 2170 01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:20,479 Speaker 1: It'd be like a five thirty start something something like that. 2171 01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:25,960 Speaker 1: If there's a baseball game. Does anything that's different is cool? Yeah? Yeah, right, 2172 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,840 Speaker 1: could help us on red zone. We'll have extra games. 2173 01:50:28,840 --> 01:50:31,439 Speaker 1: I know it'll be sorry. Arizona by two and a half. 2174 01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:35,679 Speaker 1: Arizona by two and a half, um, tough one Division game. 2175 01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:39,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Sea Atole and the fighting Geno Smiths, 2176 01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:44,080 Speaker 1: and I will take those home dog points. Arizona twin. 2177 01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:48,840 Speaker 1: But I gave the points to Seattle and Gino. I'm 2178 01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:54,200 Speaker 1: taking Seattle. I'm taking them both ways. I really don't 2179 01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:57,720 Speaker 1: believe in Arizona at all, and I think Cliff is done. Yeah, 2180 01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,720 Speaker 1: it's getting getting warm over there. Yeah, what was that 2181 01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:03,920 Speaker 1: number again? Put Arizona by two and a half. I 2182 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:08,080 Speaker 1: will take Arizona. I'm gonna take the Seahawks both ways. Well, 2183 01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,760 Speaker 1: they're underdog, so at home, might just take them. I'll 2184 01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:14,280 Speaker 1: take them. Uh. Four twenty five, the four and one 2185 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,439 Speaker 1: Bills are at the four and one Chiefs. Baby, what 2186 01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:21,960 Speaker 1: are we doing? Why is this game CBS exclusive? Yeah? 2187 01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:24,000 Speaker 1: That was all that was not even gonna do the 2188 01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,200 Speaker 1: postgame show? What are you be watching? That had to 2189 01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:29,280 Speaker 1: be a protective absolutely, Especially Kansas City was on primetime 2190 01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:30,960 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. You would think they would have 2191 01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:36,120 Speaker 1: wanted to for this one. Buffalo by two and a half. Wow, 2192 01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,559 Speaker 1: that's how good the Bills are. Buffalo's favored and narrowhead. 2193 01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:42,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go 2194 01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:44,680 Speaker 1: with them. I'm gonna go with them. You can think 2195 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:48,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo is pretty good. Buffalo is pretty good. It was 2196 01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:50,240 Speaker 1: funny like we were talking with having about Buffalo and 2197 01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:52,479 Speaker 1: like while we're doing the defense thing during lunch, and 2198 01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:55,160 Speaker 1: he was like, tell it's your offensive Buffalo. It was 2199 01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:56,360 Speaker 1: the same thing I said where you were just like, 2200 01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they could they could keep them to thirty 2201 01:51:58,320 --> 01:51:59,880 Speaker 1: and it's still not enough for the bait, you know. 2202 01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm going Bills. I think at time is now. 2203 01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:06,080 Speaker 1: But I think Patrick Mahomes is obviously playing great, so 2204 01:52:06,200 --> 01:52:09,240 Speaker 1: he'll put up a fight. He's got a future that 2205 01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:13,080 Speaker 1: might be all right. Good player about his family. But yeah, 2206 01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm going with the home dogs Kansas City. A smart 2207 01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:19,920 Speaker 1: person once told me that a smart a wise man 2208 01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:24,519 Speaker 1: bets home dogs. So who was this person? I forget suspect. 2209 01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna suspect. I'm going with Kansas City too. I 2210 01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:31,600 Speaker 1: I like Buffalo. I think they're a good team. I 2211 01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:33,640 Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's a good quarterback, but you don't make 2212 01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:37,080 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes a home dog like I just I saw 2213 01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:40,320 Speaker 1: that last week too with Patrick Mahomes, like he got 2214 01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:43,960 Speaker 1: a little bit angry at the Chris Jones call and 2215 01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:46,479 Speaker 1: lit the world on fire. So I'm taking Patrick Mahomes 2216 01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:48,880 Speaker 1: as a home dog homeboy. Yeah. I think Buffalo is 2217 01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna blow them out just like they did last year, 2218 01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:53,840 Speaker 1: and I'll take them to do it again. I think 2219 01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:56,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs remember that, and I think the Chiefs win this. 2220 01:52:56,400 --> 01:53:00,240 Speaker 1: The Chiefs got the revenge in the AFC Championship whatever division. Yes, 2221 01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:04,760 Speaker 1: is this an AFC Championship preview this game? YEA possibly? Yes? 2222 01:53:06,160 --> 01:53:09,920 Speaker 1: The Chiefs. I took the Chiefs, Patriots, I took the Chiefs. Uh. 2223 01:53:10,080 --> 01:53:13,599 Speaker 1: Sunday night on NBRY Sure. Uh. The four and one 2224 01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:17,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys are at the five and oh Eagle and get 2225 01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:20,080 Speaker 1: enough of the division matchups in prime time. Eagles by six, 2226 01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:25,559 Speaker 1: game six, Eagles by six, and they're at home. Another 2227 01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:27,679 Speaker 1: great game. I don't I don't especially love the NFC East, 2228 01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:31,200 Speaker 1: but but another great game. It's Philadelphia. Good challenge. I 2229 01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,599 Speaker 1: think I saw what it. Yeah, the Cowboys have win 2230 01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:36,360 Speaker 1: the last three. Got notes over there, No, just a 2231 01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:37,760 Speaker 1: little bit. I print the thing so I have a 2232 01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:39,960 Speaker 1: little bit of Maybe I can offer a comment or 2233 01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:43,760 Speaker 1: a homework, a stat Perhaps it's much better, just like 2234 01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,120 Speaker 1: say things like Jackson Villoe's the Colt. I have no 2235 01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:48,760 Speaker 1: idea how many they've one. Oh yeah, just know those 2236 01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:51,360 Speaker 1: things that I think that's a thing. I think that's 2237 01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,760 Speaker 1: a thing. I'm going. I'm gonna go fly, Eagles fly, 2238 01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:57,360 Speaker 1: and but I'm gonna take those points. I think it's 2239 01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:01,160 Speaker 1: gonna be close. Um, but I liked Eagles to win. Oh, 2240 01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:03,320 Speaker 1: so you have Dallas, you're taking up Dallas points. Yeah, 2241 01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:05,920 Speaker 1: I don't say Philly Philli on Philly Philly. Every time 2242 01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:11,000 Speaker 1: both times. I think Paul on it the first time 2243 01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:17,880 Speaker 1: we talk. I take a Philly to win, but I'm 2244 01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:21,840 Speaker 1: taking Dallas in the points Divisional game. I just feel 2245 01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:25,360 Speaker 1: like he'll be close. Dallas is another one of those 2246 01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:28,120 Speaker 1: teams that has a defense that's pretty good. Um, but 2247 01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Philly both ways, because I know I 2248 01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:35,080 Speaker 1: keep saying this every week. At some point Dallas is 2249 01:54:35,080 --> 01:54:37,040 Speaker 1: going to realize they're playing with a backup quarterback and 2250 01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:41,400 Speaker 1: something's gonna happened. Hasn't happened yet. I guess Mike McCarthy's 2251 01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:45,000 Speaker 1: a genius. UM's generally an indication of winning games with 2252 01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:47,200 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. But I'm gonna take the Eagles in 2253 01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:50,560 Speaker 1: this game. I too, am gonna take the Eagles both 2254 01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:55,600 Speaker 1: ways in this game. So there you go. So now 2255 01:54:56,920 --> 01:54:58,880 Speaker 1: I'm just looking to be a perfect week for me. 2256 01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:02,640 Speaker 1: I think both the spread night Monday Night, Oh yeah, 2257 01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:07,920 Speaker 1: Monday Night, eight fifteen on ESPN two and three Broncos 2258 01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:12,560 Speaker 1: are at the three and two Chargers. Chargers by five 2259 01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:16,080 Speaker 1: and a half. They're getting any players back, I don't 2260 01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:18,320 Speaker 1: think yet. I don't know if it's gonna matter, Um 2261 01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:22,480 Speaker 1: the Broncos. It's the Broncos. I struggle to pick them 2262 01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:24,520 Speaker 1: for anything. Right now, I'm gonna take the chargers and 2263 01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:28,080 Speaker 1: I will lay the points. I thought they were going 2264 01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:30,640 Speaker 1: to challenge for the AC West, I really do. Does 2265 01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:33,120 Speaker 1: anybody this is a question for the panel, you know 2266 01:55:33,160 --> 01:55:35,920 Speaker 1: how I like to throw these out there. Did anybody 2267 01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:40,600 Speaker 1: think heading into the season that Russell Wilson was done? No? Like, 2268 01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:42,880 Speaker 1: I know, he wasn't playing great. He was on what 2269 01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:46,360 Speaker 1: I would call washed watch. Okay, you know, like I 2270 01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:48,560 Speaker 1: didn't think he was done done, like get had a 2271 01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:50,640 Speaker 1: couple more seasons. I thought it had more to do 2272 01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:54,520 Speaker 1: with Seattle's sort of crumbling talent. But I actually think 2273 01:55:54,840 --> 01:55:57,640 Speaker 1: that I think you're throwing in Tyler Lockett in DK 2274 01:55:57,800 --> 01:56:01,800 Speaker 1: Metcalf maybe kept him going in the end there it's yeah, yeah, 2275 01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:04,320 Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily being receivers. I just meant the entirety 2276 01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:06,520 Speaker 1: of the team. Yeah, I hear you, But yeah, I 2277 01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:12,680 Speaker 1: mean he's he looks, he looks done. Yeah, yep, yep. 2278 01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:16,640 Speaker 1: That much. Chargers both Mike Mike woint that was it, 2279 01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:25,120 Speaker 1: Mike Mike charges charges. I'm also taking the chargers both ways. 2280 01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:28,680 Speaker 1: Name for it. Jamari Sailor, the rookie left tackle that's 2281 01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:32,839 Speaker 1: been filling in for Rashaan Slater shut out Miles Garrett 2282 01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:36,160 Speaker 1: last week. No sacks, no QB hits for Miles Garrett 2283 01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:38,440 Speaker 1: against the rookie left tackles, really impressive games like I 2284 01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:40,280 Speaker 1: want armed though, I mean yeah, I mean I think 2285 01:56:40,280 --> 01:56:42,800 Speaker 1: he was dead heading into the game. I'm gonna take 2286 01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:45,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers, but I will take the points five and 2287 01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,080 Speaker 1: a half. The Charges will do something stupid. Staley will 2288 01:56:48,120 --> 01:56:52,120 Speaker 1: go for something, but it's two really stupid coaches going 2289 01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,120 Speaker 1: against each other, so fair point because the other guy 2290 01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,440 Speaker 1: is as overmatched as the head coaches I've ever seen 2291 01:56:57,520 --> 01:56:59,920 Speaker 1: a head coach. I'm gonna go with the Chargers both ways. 2292 01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:03,600 Speaker 1: Is Denver finds themselves outside of Denver, not playing at home, 2293 01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:05,600 Speaker 1: and they don't know what's going on. It's a rare 2294 01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:10,520 Speaker 1: away game for the Broncos. So I'll go with the Chargers. 2295 01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:12,920 Speaker 1: I got you all right. Now we go back to 2296 01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,480 Speaker 1: one o'clock where the two and three Patriots are going 2297 01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:21,640 Speaker 1: against the two and three Browns. I'm sorry, Browns by 2298 01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:25,800 Speaker 1: three three? Yeah no, uh, this a pick them, no question, 2299 01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:29,920 Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, I'm going with the Patriots. I 2300 01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:31,800 Speaker 1: I just think they're gonna put a good game together. 2301 01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:33,840 Speaker 1: I have some confidence. I don't have stats to back 2302 01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,400 Speaker 1: it up right now, but I think that they'll handle 2303 01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:40,160 Speaker 1: the Charger or the Browns, and I got them twenty 2304 01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:48,280 Speaker 1: seven seventeen alix. I picked New England to win. I 2305 01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:52,280 Speaker 1: think it'll be close. So I gave Cleveland the points 2306 01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:55,560 Speaker 1: for not to think of a score. So let me 2307 01:57:55,640 --> 01:57:59,640 Speaker 1: think of one that would allow for that outcome. Let's 2308 01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:05,960 Speaker 1: do twenty eight New England, which would give twenty six 2309 01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:10,920 Speaker 1: to Cleveland twenty seven. Yep. I don't like that. I'd 2310 01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:13,600 Speaker 1: love to watch a game like that. I wouldn't offense. 2311 01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:17,440 Speaker 1: What's offense? Yeah, I haven't seen any of that point. 2312 01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Patriots to win. I guess to 2313 01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:24,240 Speaker 1: push right twenty four twenty one three point spread, So 2314 01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:26,200 Speaker 1: you got to pick one of the other. God you pick. 2315 01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if if it lands on that, obviously we 2316 01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:32,600 Speaker 1: would all tie. But okay, I'll take the Patriots to 2317 01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:34,880 Speaker 1: cover two. I guess. I think the biggest thing that 2318 01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:40,120 Speaker 1: I look at with this game watching the Chargers run 2319 01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:44,320 Speaker 1: an offense. I mean, I have never seen a professional 2320 01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:47,160 Speaker 1: defensive line get blown off the ball as easily as 2321 01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:50,120 Speaker 1: this Brown's defensive line did against the Chargers like it 2322 01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:53,400 Speaker 1: looked like you were watching Zion Johnson playing in college 2323 01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:55,320 Speaker 1: at BC. Like the way that they were moving that 2324 01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,440 Speaker 1: interior of the line, it was crazy. So I think 2325 01:58:58,440 --> 01:59:02,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots run defense is not nearly as bad as 2326 01:59:02,120 --> 01:59:04,760 Speaker 1: the Browns run defenses. So I like the Patriots. Yeah, 2327 01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:09,800 Speaker 1: Cleveland really struggles stoppering the run, their worst worst in 2328 01:59:09,880 --> 01:59:13,200 Speaker 1: the league at that buying a wide margin, and I 2329 01:59:13,360 --> 01:59:15,040 Speaker 1: have to think that that's what the Patriots are gonna 2330 01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:19,000 Speaker 1: want to do again. However, I think that that lends 2331 01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:22,120 Speaker 1: to close games, and I don't think this game will 2332 01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:24,920 Speaker 1: be easy. I think Cleveland will run it pretty much 2333 01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:27,800 Speaker 1: as effectively as you do, and this could be one 2334 01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:29,640 Speaker 1: of those games. Mike, we're watching red zone by like 2335 01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:33,160 Speaker 1: three thirty. It could be like my dream game. I 2336 01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:36,400 Speaker 1: think the Patriots will continue to win. I think as 2337 01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:38,680 Speaker 1: much as I argued with Fred before I ate lunch, 2338 01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:42,640 Speaker 1: you'll see a continued progress from the defense. Was angry 2339 01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:45,240 Speaker 1: Paul for the first time, all right, and twenty four 2340 01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:49,960 Speaker 1: to twenty Okay, I'm with Paul in terms of how 2341 01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:52,360 Speaker 1: many points the Patriots are going to score twenty four. 2342 01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:56,360 Speaker 1: I think they hold the Browns to fourteen. So I 2343 01:59:56,400 --> 01:59:59,560 Speaker 1: think it's going to be twenty four fourteen two blowouts 2344 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,800 Speaker 1: and that really it depends on how the you know, 2345 02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:05,600 Speaker 1: toward the end, maybe the Patriots get a you know, 2346 02:00:06,520 --> 02:00:09,120 Speaker 1: backdoor touchdown or something like that. I think it's going 2347 02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:11,800 Speaker 1: to be a closer game than ten points, you know, 2348 02:00:12,040 --> 02:00:14,400 Speaker 1: it'll feel that way. But a twenty four fourteen win 2349 02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:20,480 Speaker 1: for the Patriots. So all right, all the Patriots this week, 2350 02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's happened yet. This took this year. Um, 2351 02:00:24,160 --> 02:00:26,560 Speaker 1: all right, so that's oh no, I already did all 2352 02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:31,560 Speaker 1: the pure happened last week. We're just looking out, but 2353 02:00:31,640 --> 02:00:36,320 Speaker 1: I didn't. I picked point for the points. Okay, shame Alice. 2354 02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:39,360 Speaker 1: All right, that'll be it for this edition of Patriots 2355 02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:44,600 Speaker 1: Unfiltered State for John Rook in the playbook.
