Full Transcript for MTP Boston: Pats Back on Track? Competence is King

00:02:36.960 So uh, so I I it's kind of apples oranges to compare last week's Bills game to this Raiders game. 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:42.960 Uh, but again, I I was slightly more impressed from this showing from the team than I was last week. 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:55.599 Yeah, I think the most impressive part of this uh is if you couple it with the fact over the last couple of weeks, everyone, including us here on this network, this show, have said, like, are the Raiders good? 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.280 And we all kind of said, I don't know about good, but they're competent. 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.960 Their offense was humming, they had a pretty good defensive line, they were competitive with the Chiefs in their loss. 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:27.439 And you couple that with the fact that our top four corners were not available to play, and we held again a competent offense to just 17 points, by the way, with Marcus Jones covering Brock Bowers one-on-one for the majority of that game. 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.919 Now, in the the first drive, when I saw that, I'm like, oh boy, this is not good, this is not the thing to do. 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:42.319 Like, but I think they just figured it out, you know, like our offense in this game was was too potent to stop. 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:58.080 We talked a little bit about this last week when we did the the power rankings, um, and DK passive uh aggressively touted uh Caleb Williams' uh uh completion percentage being better than Drake's this year, although after this game it's not anymore. 00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.439 We're 0.1 ahead of him. 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:12.240 But what I think is most important is that in the last two weeks, Drake has his completion percentage has been 68%, 643 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:13.599 Some would say that's good. 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:15.759 I would say that's good. 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:17.680 Some would say it was very good. 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.399 His against the Raiders, he was oh almost 77% completion. 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:24.079 Which is just absurd. 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:34.560 It's it's so stupid to think that listen, our overreaction to this should uh match our overreaction to the one and two start. 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:47.759 However, I think this one and two start, if we just look back on last year, should be different because the first four weeks of this year, statistically, was the hardest schedule, hardest opening four. 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.279 And we split. 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.480 Even as bad as we looked, we split. 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.720 And now we're in a position where we're three and two, we're coming up against the Jets. 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:03.120 That is the division rival, like you said, anything can happen in the division, they don't look they don't look too incompetent. 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.879 Uh, so I don't want them to overlook this, and we'll talk a little bit about that uh coming up. 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:15.600 But I think gun to head after Jacksonville, if I said you can walk into week six, three and two, you probably would have taken that, right? 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.959 Yeah, for sure. 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:29.439 And if you'd also told me that they're gonna have all the injuries they have on not just the defense, but of the offense, especially too, uh, three and two would have been a miracle in my eyes, really. 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.319 Um again, I mean I mean, yeah, Marcus Jones on Brock Bowers. 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.319 I mean, we kind of shaking her head on that one, but it it worked. 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.199 Look, if if Brock Barrow is gonna go off for some catches in that game, fine. 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.000 I I said it last week in the power power ranking show. 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.160 Like watching that guy play football is awesome. 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:49.680 That guy is so good. 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:56.079 And he did exactly what I expected him to do, which was make some big catches, make some big plays, score a touchdown. 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.399 He he did Brock Barr things. 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:04.639 Uh, and if you allow him to do that and only give up 17 points in the process, then so be it. 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:05.199 That's fine. 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.120 That's you can get away with that. 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.920 Um, you know, the rest of the offense for the it's competent. 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.920 I think that is putting it nicely. 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:35.839 Um, but I do think this year has kind of shown how older quarterbacks that we think are washed up can at least maintain an offense because they're just so much smarter than today's quarterbacks, whether it is Kirk Cousins or Case Keenum in Chicago, uh, these guys can just read defenses better than the quarterbacks can. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.160 The defenses just don't know how to play against a quarterback that knows what the hell they're doing. 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:46.879 Um but again, 17 points is pretty good, pretty good defensive showing with all the injuries. 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:54.720 And for Drake May to play as well as he did with again no AJ Brown, Matt Collins out of this game, too. 00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.639 Uh and uh let's not forget uh uh oh my gosh, Kyle Williams. 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.839 I couldn't remember his name because he's been freaking absent for four weeks. 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:04.639 Shows up. 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.680 It's amazing what you do for a fast guy, and you just tell him to run straight. 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.079 Uh Bethel Johnson 2.0. 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:10.800 It's great. 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:16.560 Um, so let's not let's not let's let's not put that on on Kyle William Williams just yet. 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.240 But I think do you think putting that on was a good thing or a bad

thing? 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.360 It's a bad thing. 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.519 I think he's far more talented than Bethel Johnson. 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:32.560 I mean, he's not as fast, I I don't think, but he's got better hands, and we've already seen him make better catches in two seasons than we saw Bethel Johnson make in seven. 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:44.720 Uh but coming into this game, uh the the biggest area on the defense when we have you know both of our starting corners has been the run game. 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.480 People just gash us. 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:57.040 Uh so I think what we need to do in the whole strategy coming into the the season with AJ Brown was score as many points as you possibly can fast so that they cannot run, they have to throw. 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:06.480 That being said, the Raiders average 2.1 yards per carry against not an unstoppable defense. 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:15.759 So what do you think through five games, does Josh McDaniels deserve more credit for turning it around offensively? 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:24.560 Or does the defensive coordinator deserve more credit for holding up and again keeping you kept uh you kept Buffalo under 30. 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.360 You keep the Raiders under under 20. 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.320 That's tough because not for nothing before you before you give your answer. 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:40.080 Yeah, ever since they played us, the Steelers in that offense look like Aaron Rodgers of 2015. 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.080 Yeah. 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:49.039 Uh it's man, that's tough because in offense, mmm. 00:08:50.639 --> 00:09:21.279 It's so skewed to think about this question in a sense because I we've been so spoiled the past 30 years, have erred 20 years with um Tom Brady as like your second offensive coordinator for the Patriots, in a sense, that Josh McDaniels could call some great plays, but you knew Tom Brady was gonna go out there, diagnose a defense, and if he was gonna call an audible, he's gonna do that, he's gonna have a great pocket press presence and be able to allure the rush, and he knew it was coming every time. 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.919 Um so we've been kind of spoiled with that. 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:29.600 So part of me is leading defense because Drake May is so talented. 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.240 Yep. 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.080 And he's clearly grown after the first three games. 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:44.399 Um, but I mean the defense again, like losing a top two corners is is a pretty big deal, or top four, yeah, top four. 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.960 Um and then I don't remember, was was Barmore out of this game too, or did he come back this week? 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.159 I I he came back. 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:50.879 Did he come back? 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.240 Okay, I don't I don't know that he I don't know that he started, but he played he played snaps. 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:59.519 I just didn't hear his name at all, so I just assumed he was kind of there-ish, maybe. 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:04.240 Um I do I do think it has to be the defense. 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:14.720 Um there was a lot of talk about making sure Christian Gonzalez was paid and a lot of stock was being put in the the defense, uh basically kind of building it around him. 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.960 Um yeah, I I think defensively it's been pretty impressive. 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:26.320 But um I mean, would you say they've played like an elite, a truly elite offense yet? 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.799 Do you know you don't think the Bills are an elite offense? 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.759 That the Bills are averaging 32 points a game. 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.639 Yeah, but that was after what, like the first two games are going off. 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.360 And well, actually no, they they just played, they just played last night there against the Rams and they went off again. 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.159 So right. 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:56.799 I mean, I suppose uh Yeah, I we lost we we didn't have Christian Gonzalez last week, and we also uh we also uh lost oh god, what the hell is it uh it's just he just slipped my name. 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:57.759 Who's the number two corner? 00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.720 It just slipped my mind. 00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.600 Davis? 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.039 Yeah, Carlton Davis. 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.759 So we lost Carlton Davis in the second in the second quarter of last of last week, and we still held the Bills to under 30 points. 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.639 Yeah. 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.039 Oh, and by the way, Barmore didn't play either. 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.639 Yeah, yeah. 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:20.480 I I I'm trying to I feel like I have to lean defense um for being more impressive so far. 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:30.159 Again, it's just when you have Drake May and it seems like he's shaken off the stupidity of the first three weeks, which are apparently his his preseason's done. 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.600 He's in the regular season now. 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.879 Happened last year, too. 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.200 So that's kind of the way I'm leaning towards. 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:35.919 What about you? 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.519 Yeah, I'm no, I'm right there with you. 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.279 I think because we know what Drake May can do, right? 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.840 We expect it, and when he doesn't do it, it's a big, it's a big X against him. 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.960 Uh when he does it, you're like, okay, that's what you're supposed to be doing. 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:57.519 But for a defense to like when if you go back and listen to uh my interview with Karen Greegan, uh the show notes, link will be there. 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:02.320 Um she said the one thing this team cannot afford is injuries. 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:03.200 And there we are. 00:12:03.440 -->

00:12:14.240 We have had we have had more players uh on the inactive list or on the injury list in the first five games of this season than we did in all games last year. 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.399 Yeah, that was a still three and two. 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.120 And that was a big uh mark against the team. 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:24.480 I mean, easy schedule, yes, but they also didn't suffer any injuries until later in this season. 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:32.480 And it seemed like every week they were playing a team that had either a backup quarterback or their star player got injured or was out for the game. 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.600 Um seems to be the exact opposite issue. 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.480 I mean, aside from week one with Drew Locke and the Seahawks. 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:51.759 Uh but it's for the most part, I know there's been guys here and there have gone out, but for the most part, they're playing relatively healthy teams and the other ones being depleted and they're still coming out with W's. 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.559 Yeah, here's what I like because you just bring up that that Drew Locke game, which I tried to just get out of my fucking head. 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:04.080 Um a question I was thinking about, and I just want to think like let's think about this out loud. 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:06.240 Uh let's do it. 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.320 Are the Patriots better than their three-and-two record suggests? 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:18.559 Or had they beat Drew Locke like they were supposed to, would people be looking at them as a fraudulent four-in-one team? 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.799 Uh yeah, definitely. 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.320 Yeah, I think it was a lose-lose for us. 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.879 Yeah, no, no, I I do, and I don't say that as like, oh, poor Patriots fans, poor us. 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.600 Like, sure. 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.000 No, I I think it'd be a fair criticism. 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:40.720 Uh, I mean, if you face a backup quarterback for the entirety of a game and you beat them, like you're kind of expected to do that at that point, especially as a defending AFC champ. 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:51.279 I know they're the Super Bowl champs, but uh yeah, I I think people would be looking at them as a fraudulent four-in-one team, and all they'd have to do is just kind of prove them wrong otherwise going forward. 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.639 So that being said, are they a are they better than their three-and-two record suggests? 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.200 No, I think they're right where they are. 00:13:59.440 --> 00:13:59.600 Yeah. 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.559 It's still early. 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.840 Like five games is early. 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.039 I mean, I I hate to do that. 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.159 I know 25 over 25% of the season's done. 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.840 Um, so it's it's early, but it's not. 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.480 But I think three and two is right where we should expect them to be. 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:30.720 I think if we looked, I don't I don't remember if we went game by game in the preseason prediction show, but I think to your point earlier, that if we looked at the schedule and we picked uh wins and losses, three and two would probably be right around where we were expecting. 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.519 Yep. 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.360 No, I wholeheartedly agree. 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.519 I mean, we we all penciled in the Patriots to lose the game against the Seahawks. 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.679 We just thought that it would be against Sam Darnold and not Mazoo's own Drew Locke. 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.559 We saw it was gonna be a loss against Sam Darnold. 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.519 Like, do you imagine saying that sentence out loud like a year ago? 00:14:51.679 --> 00:15:00.639 Like, no, oh, they they didn't face Sam Darnold and it's Drew Locke, and it's like they're kind of like it's like the uh the office meme picture, like oh we'll tell the difference between the two. 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.720 It's kind of the same picture. 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:09.759 Like, I know Sam Darnold played great last year, and then this he played fine in the Super Bowl, but it's like Sam Darnold's not Patrick Mahomes. 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.519 Sam Darnold's not Josh Allen. 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.600 He might be smarter than Josh Allen, but he's not uh he's got a ring. 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.120 He's got a ring. 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:22.720 And unlike Trent Dilfer, he was the main reason why that team got a ring last year. 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.679 So I think Josh. 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.000 Not JSN, not Kenneth Walker. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:29.679 Who threw it to JSN? 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.120 Not not Kenneth Walker? 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.840 Who handed it off to Kenneth Walker? 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:34.080 I don't know. 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:34.720 He's a super old. 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.759 Kenneth Walker had a mediocre season, but had an amazing postseason. 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.440 And he's looking great this year so far. 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:41.840 Yeah. 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.279 So he's fine. 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:43.519 Yeah. 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:49.759 Um is do you think Drake's processing what's happening on the field faster? 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:59.279 Or to to give you a chance to talk a little bit more about the offense, is Josh just finally calling plays that fit into Drake's strengths better? 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:19.440 Uh I hate to say both, but I mean, I I do think there is something going on with with Drake May that he either he has to play more in the preseason or something, because it just he looks clueless for the first three weeks of the season, and this is now back-to-back years. 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.879 We have enough of a sample size. 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:26.320 Rookie season, it's

kind of a wash because he was a starter halfway through the year. 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.080 But it does seem like he needs to play a few games before he gets up the speed. 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:38.960 So I think he's getting up the speed, and I also think he's kind of forced to diagnose these plays better. 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.159 He doesn't have AJ Brown, he doesn't have Matt Collins. 00:16:42.320 --> 00:17:01.600 I think the thing better for him than than AJ Brown going down is Matt Collins also going down because now he's truly got a uh wide receiving core of misfits, which is no not to really put disrespect on uh Pop Douglas, uh Chisholm, Williams, who you love, and uh you know uh you got the ism for Chisholm. 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.600 I've listened it is what it is. 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:19.759 Uh but I think it forces him to spread the ball around, it forces him to actually have to look at defenses and look at his options out there and make the right choice rather than saying where's number one, where's number 13? 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:40.720 So I I do think a part of it is him being able to diagnose, and I think there's a portion of Josh McDaniels having him draw plays that kind of favor a balanced offense that doesn't necessarily rely on you know a certain option for AJ Brown because they expect him to be open or or to get open. 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:51.359 Um so I do think it's a little both, but if you gun to my head had to make me choose, I'd say it's more Drake May being able to read defenses and and trust his players. 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.279 Can I just say that I love that I don't know if you did this on purpose, I really hope that you did. 00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:03.759 That when you when you were listing off the wide receivers that Drake May now had to be uh to you know throw to, you did not mention Romeo Dubbs. 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.839 And I I I think I hate him. 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:17.039 I think I hate his helmet, I hate the way he catches or drops, but I I you know that they teach you to catch with your hands. 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:17.920 I understand that. 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.279 I've been told this too. 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.720 It's it's an interesting concept. 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:32.079 I've never seen someone so blatantly unable to make catches with his hands when he should be bringing it into his body more than Romeo Dobbs. 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.079 And what's ironic is he's actually had like a decent two games. 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:36.880 I know he has. 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:44.160 I know it's I know it's been decent, but I and I think it's uh I didn't purposely leave him off. 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:54.480 I kind of sort of forgot about it because I think I'm a little more impressed by these other receivers, these other names stepping up the way they have. 00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:05.680 Um, if Romeo Dobbs is going off for over 100 yards and ton of catches and multiple touchdowns these past two or three weeks, be like, oh well, that makes sense. 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.519 He's the number two, and AJ Brown's on the field, so this is what he should be doing. 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:21.920 Normally, when like you pick up a guy on waivers in fantasy, and you you you know, you know that uh you know, some stud wide receiver, not one is like you know, Mike Evans is injured again, and you know, you need the backup there. 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.880 Uh that's typically what you see. 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:33.039 Uh, you're not seeing that from Romeo Dubbs, and he's been a fine piece, but I also think that's good for Drake May. 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:41.599 I think it's I think it's working in his favor, and I think it's gonna help when they have a full healthy receiving cord to be able to spread the ball around. 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.119 I hate him. 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:50.480 I I'll I'll I will never like it, it will take he needs to have his JD Drew moment for me. 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.920 I was just gonna say JD Drew, but I didn't want to make the comparison. 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.160 And and but it can't happen until the postseason. 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:05.599 He cannot undo the hurt that he caused me in that opening week when he on third and 19 may hit him like exactly where we were supposed to. 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.279 And I don't, I just I mean, he just looked like Michael J. 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.799 Fox trying to catch football out there. 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:11.839 Like it was just not good. 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.880 Do you have anything you want to add? 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.480 No, no, I'm not gonna touch that one. 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:16.720 No. 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:17.119 Okay. 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.079 I'm just gonna let that marinate for the uh for the listeners. 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:20.480 Perfect. 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:28.720 So the Patriots were already without several key contributors, uh, including AJ Brown, not collins, Gonzo, Carlton Davis during the game. 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:39.519 Will Campbell suffered a knee injury, Trevion Henderson injured his ankle, as we already mentioned, two of the backups for Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis were also unable to play. 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:48.160 So, how much credit does uh do you think uh Vrabel deserves for getting like keeping the team competitive with so many starters unavailable? 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.839 I mean, that's kind of been the culture he's brought since day one. 00:20:52.079 --> 00:21:06.240 Just feels like a team effort, especially kind of ironic, too, that they were celebrating the old one Patriots uh you know coming out as a team and playing as a team, and um, they had to do that this week. 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:12.160 So I do give credit to Vrabel for installing this culture that's clearly been infectious. 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:22.960 They've gravitated towards it, they've

gravitated towards their coach, but I do in a way feel like it's a lot on the defensive coordinator, is that current. 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:36.640 I mean, um it's I mean, he he got his opportunity last year to come out and show uh show what ability he could have, um, having the step in as the interim role. 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:42.480 Now he's full-time defensive coordinator, and it's been impressive to watch. 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:49.599 He I wouldn't be surprised by the end of the year if if teams were reaching out to to try to get interviews with him for their for their head coaching job. 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:56.880 I know it's early, but you know a lot of the stupid teams out there want to jump on board and get a coach before someone else snatches them up. 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:04.799 We also saw what this guy did last year when he had to step up when the Uh the named defensive coordinator had to step away due to the health care. 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:06.240 Right, right, exactly. 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.640 This guy now has a track record of making good decisions on the defense. 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.720 Um which I'm interested to hear your take. 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:20.799 Which which which injured player is most important to get back the fastest? 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:22.880 And you can't say AJ Brown. 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:25.359 On both sides of the ball, you're saying. 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:25.680 Okay. 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.079 Yep. 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:33.839 Uh probably Matt Collins, uh, because his run blocking's very effective. 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.960 Um, I know it's a lot of the offensive line, obviously. 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.759 Um is Will Campbell going is expected to be back next week, or is it no? 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.640 He's gonna miss some time. 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:44.319 He's gonna miss some time as well. 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:54.640 Uh man, I mean I think anytime you you lose offensive linemen, I think that's a a big part there. 00:22:54.880 --> 00:23:01.680 But if I were to pick like a dark that that big bastard that they brought in from Utah did a pretty good job when Will Campbell went down. 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:05.200 I mean, he's got longer arms for sure, and he's six foot taller. 00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:06.160 For sure. 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:16.799 But I I would uh if I were to pick like a dark horse pick or something a little more unconventional, I'd probably say Matt Collins because he's obviously great in the receiving game. 00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:20.880 He's kind of Drake May's safety safety choice there. 00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:24.160 Um, but he is also great in run blocking. 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.119 Uh Chisholm has shown he's been great in run blocking too. 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.000 Um and you're gonna need that without Trevion Henderson uh for the next few weeks. 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.079 Uh I think that'd be important. 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:43.839 I

just hope that uh that Stevenson doesn't run into the back of linemen and the back of any of his own players uh against the Jets, but God, who knows? 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.400 We'll see. 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.200 But I I if I were to make a pick, I'd probably say Matt Collins. 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:52.640 My pick is Trevion Henderson because we saw what he did when Ramondre went down last year. 00:23:52.799 --> 00:24:01.279 And I I you I know that you've mentioned that you don't think he could he doesn't have any game-changing plays in him, but I think that that's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. 00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.240 That's what uh you say on this on the on a sports podcast. 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.880 That's fine. 00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.920 Uh he is the perfect compliment to to Ramondre. 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:16.240 And the fact that if if he's in there, uh what Ramondre worked on all offseason, that's what we heard from Karen Greedy is receiving. 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.079 I think you can make it more of a dual threat. 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.000 If he's in every down back, I don't think you can. 00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:21.759 Um, so I think you need to have him back. 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:25.359 I thought Kiner was fine minus that stupid fumble. 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.720 Oh, that was great, huh? 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:29.359 But like it didn't cost him, really. 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:40.960 You know, um yeah, they won 45 to 17, so of course it didn't cost him, but it's just it's just I I hate I hate those plays so much for so many different levels. 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:59.519 I hate it for the the player because you come in with this opportunity, you're like, oh, maybe he'll have a big big run, and people talk about him taking a job and it's just like it's a feel-good story, but then they fumble and you're like, God damn it, like that guy just like showed up and he just fucked it all up, and it's uh he just ruined his opportunity. 00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:01.200 I hate, I hate seeing that. 00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:07.119 And then you feel like as a fan, you're like, shit, like, can this team like do we need to cut him? 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.480 Like, does this guy need to be cut? 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:11.200 Or like, do they have any other options that back? 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.039 Should they just like have Drake run the ball, like bugs bunny it the whole time? 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:16.480 Like, what the fuck do we do now? 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.640 Like, uh, I I just hate those plays. 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.119 I do. 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.039 So hopefully it's a one-time thing, nerves, whatever, but we'll see. 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:31.359 We're just accustomed to it being Patriot fans because we saw like Caseon Booty dropped like two of his first passes that was ever thrown to him, and Bill just didn't just bench him for the rest of the year. 00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:33.759 That's what that's what that's he'd love to do that with players. 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:42.960 Ben Drivers Screen Ellis didn't have a single fucking fumble his entire Patriot career, and then once he went to somewhere else where they actually put the the right amount of poundage in the ball, all he did was fumble. 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:47.519 So I just think you need versatility in the in the backfield. 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.359 I don't think that I don't think I've said this to you. 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:56.079 If if if the best player on your team is a running back, you will not win a Super Bowl. 00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.799 So I'm I don't need to have the best player. 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.559 Who was the Super Bowl MVP last year? 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:05.680 Kenneth Walker. 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.480 Weird. 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.119 That sounds like he was the best player on the Seahawks last year. 00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:12.400 Oh, so you think Kenneth Walker was better than JSN? 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.559 He was the best player in that game last year. 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.000 So in one game, yeah, that's fine. 00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:16.640 Anyone can do that. 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:18.240 One of them was Super Bowl, right? 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:20.799 Yeah, Julian Edelman was on was Super Bowl MVP too. 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:21.839 Was he better than Tom Brady? 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.759 Who was the best uh team on the Eagles? 00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:24.640 That's what I thought. 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.759 Who was the best player on the Eagles team two years ago? 00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.920 AJ Brown. 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.240 No, shut the hell up. 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.440 It was Saquon Barkley. 00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.680 No, stop that. 00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:36.480 It was Saquon. 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:38.480 It was Saquon, enough. 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:39.599 Milton Williams, no. 00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:40.880 Any member of that team. 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.599 Stop that. 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.880 It was Saquon Barkley. 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.279 Enough. 00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.279 He had a phenomenal year and they won the Super Bowl. 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:46.559 He was a major part of it. 00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:48.079 He was the best player on that team. 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:48.640 Enough. 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:49.599 I know he was. 00:26:50.400 --> 00:27:00.240 I think the better point with that though is these teams that have great running backs, 95% or 90% of the time, it's because they have a great offensive line. 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:12.160 Uh and that I mean the Cowboys proved that for a decade plus before when they had guys like DeMarco Murray, you know, being a thousand-yard rusher when he had no business even being a starting running back. 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:13.920 Uh it's Tony Pollard. 00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.960 Tony Pollard, too. 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:15.599

That's another name. 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.119 Like they just they churned out these running backs because they had really good. 00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:20.559 Right. 00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:25.359 Like you could, I mean, Ezekiel Elliott, and then you saw him in New England, he wasn't anything. 00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:27.200 Um, so it's fat. 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.039 True. 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:38.799 So so, but I think it's more of a product of a good offensive line than it is a talented running back. 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:45.680 Uh, I mean, yes, you need a talented running back, you need someone who can actually read whole, you know, see the hole, get through it, uh, yards after contest. 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:47.119 I don't think that that's true, dude. 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:55.359 We had we I can point to many different cases where a running back does not uh is not even the top five best player on the team. 00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:59.680 And ultimately, when you have I'll give you the the Eagles. 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:04.400 Who's your other one in the in the 60-year history of the Super Bowl? 00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:09.839 Who's your other Super Bowl uh champion that had it that the best player was a running back? 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.079 That the best player was a running back? 00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:15.279 Uh I gotta think of I can't think of that right now. 00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.559 I can't. 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.839 I will say this though. 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:24.480 I I think saying that makes it seem like that you don't think running backs are important. 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:27.599 I don't. 00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:28.240 Okay. 00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:36.559 If that was if that all right, well, if that was the case, then Belichick wouldn't have brought in Corey Dillon for the Super Bowl 39 season. 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:37.359 Yeah. 00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.319 And he was and he was a key player in that that team. 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:42.240 1600 yards, absolutely. 00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:52.640 Um, and then he won with Shane Vereen and James White, and yeah, but that any any other running back that he could get that he could draft in the sixth round. 00:28:55.119 --> 00:29:05.599 Now I'm looking up Super Bowl winners year by year because I want to look we're totally going off on this like TP Boston episode, but now this is what happens when it's just you and I on an episode. 00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:13.519 We get in these side conversations where you just try to piss me off and get me to like because I've been saying everything that you've been agreeing with, and you're like, you know what?

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.319 He didn't. 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.359 That's what I'm trying to tell you. 00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.720 Like Walter Payton and Barkley are the anomalies. 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.759 Emmett Smith wasn't the best player on uh on that team. 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.960 He had Michael Urban, Troy Aikman, Emmett Smith, he had Dion. 00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.359 He was the all-time leading rusher. 00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:30.480 Not by the time, not when they won the Super Bowls. 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.960 That's just because he's still the all-time leading rusher. 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.039 You can't just be like, oh, he wasn't the best player on the team. 00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:37.279 He was, you know, he was just played for 15 years. 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:37.920 Oh, okay. 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:38.880 That's that's all it was. 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.559 So I mean, Brady's the all-time touchdown passer because he played for a million years, too. 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.920 So yeah. 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.559 Oh, so he wasn't the best quarterback of all time. 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:54.960 He he was, but I I I would still argue that even if he threw less touchdown passes, he'd still be the greatest quarterback of all time because of how he was in the clutch. 00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.440 So Emmett Smith wasn't good, is what you're saying. 00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:58.480 Not in the clutch.

00:30:58.559 --> 00:30:59.920 He was he was fine. 00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:01.440 Okay. 00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:02.240 All right. 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:03.759 Well, we'll just leave it at that then. 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:08.960 You just uh I just I know that you're gonna do this whole little you know deflecting thing because you know that's the thing. 00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:10.000 I'm not deflecting you. 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:10.799 No. 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:12.160 Go on. 00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:12.880 No, go on. 00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:13.440 Okay. 00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:18.640 Uh let's look ahead to uh no was there another point to that or no? 00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:20.400 No, that was it. 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:20.960 Okay. 00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:27.920 Yeah, I just don't think like I I I love the fact that Trevion Henderson and Ramondre Stevenson are a good backfield. 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:31.920 I would I would not pay either of them$15 million to be a running back for the Patriots. 00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:46.559 I would never, ever, ever pay a running back more than$10 million uh if I was a GM, because what I what I've seen is that if you have a competent quarterback and you have a competent defense, you can draft fifth rounders to come in and do it. 00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:49.759 Like nobody, you don't need like you don't you really don't need that. 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:54.559 And I always hate when people are like, oh, Derrick Henry is the greatest running back of all time. 00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.480 Yeah, or he's he's he's really good. 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.400 Do you think the Giants so do you think the Giants could use Saquon Barkley? 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:02.240 Do you think they kind of regret giving him up? 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.240 I think Scattaboo's fine. 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:04.880 Okay. 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:12.480 Where would you would I rather have uh Saquon Barkley for three million dollars a year as opposed to Scattaboo? 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:12.799 Yeah. 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.279 Would I rather would I pay$12,$13,$14 million a year for for a running back? 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:17.759 No. 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.160 No. 00:32:18.319 --> 00:32:18.640 Okay. 00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:19.279 Okay. 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.640 That's fine. 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.599 And you would. 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.359 That's why you have never won any Super Bowls. 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:24.400 I mean I can't seven four. 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.400 I can I can I can't afford any bills, so no, I wouldn't pay any millions of dollars. 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.759 So week six, Patriots versus the Jets. 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:34.000 The Jets travel to Foxboro. 00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:41.200 New England has the opportunity to turn two impressive wins into a three-game winning streak and kind of start to mirror what they did last year against an AFC rival. 00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:46.720 The Jets enter the game two and three after beating Cleveland 17-12th in week five. 00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:49.519 Uh a couple of questions I have for you. 00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:53.920 Will the offensive line hold up without Will Campbell against the Jets? 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:55.759 Rapid fire, I'm gonna say yes. 00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:56.880 Gonna be fine. 00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:03.759 I would say yes to you, but I wouldn't be surprised if they force a couple fumbles on Drake May. 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:14.400 Will the new will New England's depleted secondary be able to contain Geno Smith and Garrett uh Garrett Wilson? 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.119 Uh just the first half of that question is great. 00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:18.880 Will they're problem? 00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:20.240 No, Garrett Wilson's great. 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.720 Don't I'm that's I'm not laughing at Garrett Wilson. 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.839 I'm laughing at uh uh Gino Smith. 00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:30.240 Um I think they should be okay. 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:36.400 Uh, if Garrett Wilson has a game similar to Brock Bowers, then fine. 00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:40.799 But if he goes on for 250 yards and three touchdowns, that's different. 00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:57.920 Uh do we see the Drake May that we've seen the last two weeks, or do we see more of the Drake May that we saw against Pittsburgh or against Seattle against the Jets defense, which by the way, again, last year did not notch an interception all season? 00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:04.799 Well, I mean they finally got one this year, but no, I I have no concerns about the Jets defense. 00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:06.960 I agree. 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.679 Uh let's see here. 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:17.199 I don't I had I had this question written down and I I wrote it and then I got pissed off. 00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:23.360 So is a loss to the Jets unacceptable for a team that reached the Super Bowl last year? 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.320 Yes. 00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.320 Now are you say no hold hold on. 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:33.760 Are you saying that because I wrote it and I was like, well, there's so many ways that I could that I could pick apart this question that I wrote. 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:39.679 You know, well, if Drake May goes down, no, it's not ex it's it's acceptable to lose against the Jets. 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:41.280 Well, yeah, duh. 00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:42.239 Duh. 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:43.039 Yes. 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:51.840 But given all right, even going into this game with all the injuries they have, there's you know, always always always plays well against us, by the way. 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.559 He's never not played well against the Patriot defense. 00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.480 Okay, but that was also against what other defensive coordinators and coaches and players. 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:01.360 Last year. 00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:03.360 He was a Raiders quarterback. 00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:05.199 Yeah, it was the

first game of the season. 00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:05.920 It's different. 00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:10.320 Well, against this defense and it was the first game of the season. 00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:11.360 Yeah, I don't know. 00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.079 I spell out. 00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:12.400 Go ahead. 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:13.119 Keep welcome. 00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:13.760 You're welcome. 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:14.480 It's fine. 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.000 Um no. 00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:25.519 I think uh even with the injuries they have, even with everything they everything they're going to with this game, uh, they should win. 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:31.760 I don't think it should be a 47 to 17, uh 45 to 17 blowout like it was with the Raiders. 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:33.280 But they should win. 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:34.559 They should win. 00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:39.440 Uh if it's sloppy and they they are close, I won't be happy with it. 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:41.119 But they should win. 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:47.360 So you won't be happy if it's if they beat the Jets 27-24. 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.880 On the whole, yes, I'll be happy with it. 00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:56.880 But I'll have questions and criticisms. 00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.480 As you should we we had to keep the fucking lights on around here. 00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:01.760 Uh, yeah, exactly. 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:02.239 Right. 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:04.079 So I guess no, that's that's the thing. 00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.320 Yeah, I guess overall they should win this game. 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.039 I think they should win, they should win by a touchdown. 00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:13.039 If they win by a touchdown, even just a touchdown, I'll be like, okay, great. 00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:24.000 You had some injuries, and maybe some of these guys maybe maybe they let Wilson go off for a big game and it gets kind of close and what have you. 00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:24.639 Fine. 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.000 I'm fine with that. 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.360 But anything less than a touchdown would be unacceptable. 00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:34.559 What worries me is that if if Brees Hall is healthier, he's a problem. 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.400 Again, I I don't I mean Yeah, but running backs don't matter, Mike. 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:39.039 You said that. 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:41.599 So yeah, but he's not the best player on their team. 00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:42.800 Garrett Wilson is. 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:44.800 Um it's fine. 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:48.639 I didn't say they didn't matter, I just said I don't I don't value them. 00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:50.800 That's a there's a there's a big difference. 00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:52.880 I would take a running back over a punter. 00:36:53.440 --> 00:37:02.400 Uh after five weeks, we start out we go from a disastrous one and two start to a winning record. 00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:08.480 Is this the beginning of another like serious AFC run, do you think? 00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:11.760 Or is it just like a temporary correction? 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:22.800 Um the real I guess test per se. 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:34.079 I love uh I wish DK was on the show because I was I'm gonna say like the real test is gonna come like in a little bit, despite the fact that Chicago, they're playing Chicago in a week and two days. 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:43.760 Um so I think that because look, as I alright, New York, Chicago, then it's Miami garbage. 00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:52.159 Um Green Bay could go either way, and Detroit's been kind of shaky, and that's also an uh international game as well, and then they go in the bye. 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:54.320 So when they come back from the bye, that's gonna be interesting. 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:56.639 LA has been ass, so who knows? 00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:03.119 But then you have Buffalo, Minnesota, who's somehow undefeated, then Monday Night Football, Kansas City. 00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:05.360 Um, and then you're got down. 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.159 It's just you yeah, Denver, Miami to wrap up. 00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:12.639 But um so is it the start of a run? 00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:17.840 Could be. 00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.920 I hate I hate to answer that way. 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:20.800 It could be. 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:30.079 Uh I uh I will be I feel like I'd be able to give a better but even Chicago's a Thursday night game as well. 00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:48.239 That's even a better answer after the run's already taken place and you can no no no no no because I want to say after the Chicago game, because Chicago has been uh has been frisky, they've been good, especially at their battling adversity at the quarterback position, and you know the slapped last week. 00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:53.280 They got slapped all right by a by a subpar mediocre quarterback, they did. 00:38:53.840 --> 00:39:07.440 Um so but Thursday night games, I just feel like they're so hard to judge because it is on short rest, and I think just it's just such a bullshit scenario for the viewers and for the players. 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:08.719 I think it's dumb. 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:10.320 Um so you know what? 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:11.360 No, fuck it. 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.960 No, I'm gonna no, I'm saying it fuck off. 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:34.559 I think I'm saying it's just it's a whole other conversation that the NFL just tries to squeeze all the money they can and all the viewership they can to have all these games on these like I'm fine with Thursday night football, but like give the team a bye week before then, don't have it, so they're on four days rest. 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:35.280 That's stupid. 00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:36.159 Why do you want to do that? 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:40.960 Why do you want to like harm your product with bullshit because they get money out of it? 00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:41.519 That's why. 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.199 Because we all still

watch, we all still watch, still fucking watch. 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:46.079 That's right. 00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:48.719 It's just it's dumb, but you know what? 00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:54.320 No, I uh I think it's the start of a run. 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.719 I think so because you're gonna start to see players get healthy again. 00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:01.920 AJ Brown might play this week, which I think would be silly. 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.159 I think they should hold him out for Thursday. 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:10.559 Um yeah, so they they should hold him up for Thursday, hopefully get some other guys back as well. 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:16.159 They were saying Travion Henderson's apparently Superman or Wolverine he heals fast, which was just fucking weird. 00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:20.079 Like, he's a fast healer, like great, cool, awesome. 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:24.639 Like he's been hurt a lot, so they have that they can look back on it, right? 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:33.519 Uh so I would say if these guys start coming back player by player, piece by piece, yeah, it should be the start of a run. 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:40.079 I and I I do look at this as uh there's a few teams in the way, but yeah, why not? 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.360 Start of a run. 00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:43.840 Uh serve a dynasty, Mike. 00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:46.960 One one word responses, please. 00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:48.400 Just one word? 00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:50.480 Yeah, well, as close to one word as possible. 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:51.039 You ready? 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:51.840 I'll do my best. 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:55.280 Are the Patriots currently the biggest threat to Buffalo in the AFC East? 00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:57.360 Uh yeah. 00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:59.440 Um, can I expand on that? 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:00.000 No. 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.800 Uh it ain't the Dolphins and it ain't the Jets, so yeah. 00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:08.639 Is is May a top five NFL quarterback when he's playing at his best? 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:09.599 Yes. 00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.760 Is Rabel's coaching the biggest reason the Patriots have survived the injuries? 00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:21.519 Yeah. 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:26.400 I'm reluctant because I think the coordinators have really shown out as well. 00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:33.920 Well, the coordinator's success ultimately is Rabel's success until they go and do the same thing elsewhere without him. 00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:36.159 Right, so then what are we talking about? 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:37.679 I'm just correcting you. 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.320 Uh should the Patriots be buyers at the trade deadline? 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:41.199 No. 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:42.800 Really? 00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.960 You wouldn't add to this team? 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:46.719 Where would you add? 00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:54.880 Well, no, I know I I'm not trying to say it condescendingly, but like where if you disagree, where do you want them to add?
