- 0:09[SPEAKER_03]: What's up, y'all?
- 0:10[SPEAKER_03]: I am so sorry.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_03]: My internet, I'm upstairs in the attic, and maybe it's just hot.
- 0:15[SPEAKER_03]: I have no idea.
- 0:16[SPEAKER_03]: I've tried this twice, but that's no hear nor there.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_03]: I have a special guest with me today, and we're going to talk about Patriots, and we're going to line down the division series.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_03]: I have a special guest.
- 0:29[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to let him introduce himself.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_03]: It's the Patriot, y'all.
- 0:32[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not going to want to name a J. Mick.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty much, I'm going to pitch it for my whole life.
- 0:41[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm going to be born and bred in Boston.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to kind of was born into me pretty much.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to all my family, Patriot fans from my mom, to my brother, my dad, grandparents, cut like everybody.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think I can form one of the, I'm kind of like you need to do ways to win.
- 0:58[SPEAKER_00]: No one in my family is really not a Patriot fan.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_03]: So really.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_03]: So you got a long,
- 1:06[SPEAKER_03]: generation of patriot's fans, so you, all right, I like it.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_03]: That's like Buffalo, like the Buffalo Bills, like a long lineage of Bill Smith.
- 1:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think Buffalo and Boston are a lot similar.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: It's obviously cold during the one at a time.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like Boston's not a huge city like Buffalo.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a good city.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's a lot of diversity in my city.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_00]: And Boston, a lot of, you know, black people, white people, you know, age, you know, Europeans, or, you know, Caribbean or whatnot.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: So like I said, it's a lot of diversity.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_00]: So I think, I mean, Buffalo a couple times.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, it's the cities are quite similar.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_03]: For sure, for sure.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_03]: So much is good into it.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_03]: New England, it's had an up and down season last year.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_03]: You led by Drake, Drake mail.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_03]: In an article, I've seen someone compare him to a tailor.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_03]: The sealant of Taylor, or another sealant of, oh my god, it's Taylor, Lance, Lance, Lance, and then the floor of Darno Jones, Daniel Jones, my Darno.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_03]: Daniel Jones.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_03]: Talk to me about his first season.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_03]: What was your thoughts about Drake, maybe I'll start first?
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, you're drinking it like going into the season like
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty much, most of the comrades on our fan base was like, yeah, like he's not going to start the season.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because because I was going to be brought back to Kobe, for say, who we who we drafted when he came to the lead.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_00]: So I was me as a, I can only speak from my perspective, like I didn't expect him to play early in the season, like I kind of like, like, like, look at the schedule.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, yeah, our first month was was pretty rough.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_00]: So I was hoping he didn't get in to make like mid October early November and pretty much that's kind of how it played out like he didn't even get in there September.
- 2:58[SPEAKER_00]: And then we, you know, I mean, we had games against like the forty-nine and I mean, like some, you know, the Bengals, you know, I mean, like, which again, then we wanted, I thought we were going to go into the season because like the Bengals don't play good early in the season.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: But the one point that most Patriot fans that know the team was concerned about was was the office of wine.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why we didn't want him to come in right away.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: We kind of want him to learn a little bit.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what he did.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, for the most part, you know, I'm like a rookie that, you know, didn't really
- 3:26[SPEAKER_00]: So you're thinking about triggers.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to say he didn't perform, you know, I'm the excellent cause.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, he had a couple of years that I'm in North Carolina where where where he excelled.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: And then there were those, I believe there's a repatch in there too.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: But but for what the Patriots have in terms of obviously why I'm being probably one of the worst in the league.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if you look at like
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: You know, past block and run block and like we were thirty-first or thirty-second of both.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean my concern was I did not want to get the kid killed.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_00]: That was my most thing is like I want him to play but I didn't want him to get hurt.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean thank God that that's not what happened.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_00]: I mean he got in there.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean like he, you know, you know, he was good for the most part for what I expected.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean full disclosure, I wasn't really a drink may God.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like I didn't.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_00]: I mean I wanted to drive J.D.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: because that's why I wanted to drive.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_00]: And he kind of proved me.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Jay, they kind of proved the right to first year.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, Drake made like, I wasn't like, I pretty much told people like, whether, you know, whether we get Jay in the Drake, I'll be like, happy with either one.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: I prefer, like, I said, I prefer it.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the Jay.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Drake made, you know, I mean, like, did really well for the most part.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, he, he flashed in a couple games where he, he only flashed in the Jack game, the second Jack game, but the first one he didn't play in.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't finish that game because they,
- 4:41[SPEAKER_03]: I think he was going to bust that game.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_00]: So he flashed that game.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_00]: He flashed in the Texans game, which that was the first game that he started.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_00]: We did get killed in that game.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think we lost by twenty, but like that was the first real start of his and I mean he really flashed that game.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_00]: He flashed in the colds game as well.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: That was going to get it we didn't win.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_00]: He flashed in the first Buffalo game.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: They said that he made, but I mean for the most part I mean it was a pretty much good.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm trying to think was any of the game that he flashed.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was the tightest game as well.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_00]: The tightest game where we were behind, he took us on a game time drive to end regulations.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_00]: And then we lost it and I'm gonna, you know, I'm like over time.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like those are the games that really showed me that this kid might actually be really good.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, the only thing, I think that he really need to work on is pretty much the turnovers.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think he threw away.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_00]: You do ten picks.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_00]: You have four fun bulls two that he lost.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, like, you know, in the course of playing twelve thirteen games, that's not that's not terrible.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just the fact that like he just got some things that he's going to need to work on and, you know, and in terms of turnovers because our offense isn't like super explosive.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we don't, we don't have a lot of playmakers.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: And so in football, we don't have a lot of playmakers.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_00]: Your old lines kind of shake.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: You kind of got to take care of the ball.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_03]: Right, for sure, for sure.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_03]: Now, staying on last season, the Patriots finished last in the division.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, rookie quarterback was that your expectations for the Patriots?
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, so like going back to last year like so I mean, so so I don't say I'm going to feel but like I had the bills finishing first that that's what I had.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then I had the dolphins in second in the jets in third and also like I anticipate us being in last place.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_00]: Um, because I was looking at like the dolphins like I expected in the finish in second.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_00]: The jets they had Aaron Robbers.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't never high on that move.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_00]: But I knew that it would still be a better team than us.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: So I did.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: That's just that's just what I figured.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and so I expected to be in last.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't expect as only one for games.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_00]: Like I mean, I'm more stars getting six wins.
- 6:58[SPEAKER_03]: I thought you guys will get six at least.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because you had a veteran quarterback there, too.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_00]: You had, and Jacobi was said.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Jacobi was said.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_03]: Did he get hurt?
- 7:10[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he got hurt, but he never left.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: the game's really.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like the one game that he left was the first.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was the first jet game, but like we were getting killed so bad that they just put put them in Drake in the game and like I think it was the last two drives of the game.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: So he never really got hurt.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the culture staff just got fed up with him in terms of like he's not a risk taker.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he was, he's a check-out.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_00]: He's a check-out guy.
- 7:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so he wasn't stretching the ball down the field.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_00]: And it was making a hard for us to run the ball and he's also a statue.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, we did draft Drake, Drake, third over all.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: So at some point, we all knew that Drake would have to run.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that's something kind of what happens.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_03]: Love me asking you.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_03]: This is not on one of the, the dockets, but so the quarterback who drafted after Drake was,
- 8:01[SPEAKER_03]: Joe Miller.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_03]: Now, between those two, would you what I had?
- 8:06[SPEAKER_03]: Milton or would you been good?
- 8:09[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you're good with Drake right now.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_03]: What those two, which one did you like?
- 8:12[SPEAKER_03]: Did you like Drake or did you like Milton?
- 8:15[SPEAKER_00]: Like so a little bit of back story like I'm a Georgia Bulldog fan too.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_00]: I can tell Milton.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't like Joe Milton to me.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: Like his name, his name promised me is like short to medium growth.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you can throw the ball really hard to get through it really far.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: But I think his downfall is gonna be those short and medium throws that he's not consistent with.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_03]: Let y'all challenge when he first came in.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I feel like Josh Allen was better when he came in than I mean Joe knows I don't I don't even think it's really that close like Joe to me.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think the only reason why we We draft the Joe in the first place is because I mean Gerard Mayo because Gerard Mayo went to Tennessee Joe Millington So other than that I think that's the only really reason why we drafted them because there wasn't you know, you know, yeah, we we drafted Drake made we had Dakota reset There wasn't really a reason to really draft Joe.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_00]: No, and we thought I believe we drafted him in a six round
- 9:09[SPEAKER_00]: And it's kind of ironic because the pick that we got for trading back Jones, that's the pick that we used to draft your milk with, you know, so a little bit of backstory.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, like, you know, I mean, joking me, I mean, we trade them to like the cowboys.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why the cowboys want the trade form.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: Then it didn't really make a lot of sense to me because they got that coming back.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_00]: They had Cooper Rush who they let go, which I didn't really
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: get there because he's a capable backup, but I'm them.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: I would want to keep them, but they let him go to Baltimore.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Sam, where are you?
- 9:41[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what they're.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you want there for like maybe like four or five million a year for two years, it wasn't a bad deal, but even the raven's like, I didn't even understand that because Lamar and Cooper are not the same kind of quarterback.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't know.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, not at all.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_03]: Keep it on a quarterback.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_03]: What do you want to see from Drake in his second season?
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean like drinks and numbers like so if you look at his stats like I believe you have I believe in thirteen games he had over.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_00]: two thousand yards passing ahead, fifteen touchdowns and ten clicks.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think rushing the ball to get like four hundred yards.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: So in the course of a seventeen game season, going into his sophomore season, I mean, I'm expecting similar numbers like maybe somewhere around three thousand yards, obviously more touchdowns because of what the team really has around them now.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: But I also expect him, you know, I mean, like deep ball is his specialty.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's really good at throwing the ball.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: So there's no, there's no real concern there.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_00]: For for me, it's just like the short to like medium throws.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's just got to be him.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_00]: He makes those throws.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like the consistency has just got to get better.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, sometimes he like air mills like out in and I'm he slant sometimes.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, out.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: Not I mean like that that's obviously you know whether you throw the slender out like that that's an issue but but but especially with a slant like if if if if we're running slender over the middle and you just air mail it like the safety's going to pick that off like nine times out of ten.
- 11:10[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just more for him and just like more consistency.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_00]: He what I mean I think you got stacked around thirty times which isn't it wasn't really.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_00]: crazy, and I mean, partly the reason for that art, I mean, his legs, I mean, like his his his his his his his the builder run the football as well.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I would want him to continue that that and I mean, like, you know, I'm like, run the ball where you can.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, for him running the football, it's, it's, it's kind of, I don't say it's a question but like he's got to learn when the journey is over.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: All right, because of the, because of the jazz game, that's when the guy can cuss like he was trying to get more yards.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_00]: And then not just the jazz game, I mean, even the Taken's game, and I mean, like some other games when he's running, he takes a lot.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_00]: He takes a good amount of hits.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, he's not like Josh Allen.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_00]: He's not built like Josh Allen.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_00]: He's not like not built thick like him.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_00]: So, right.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, I mean, so the situation where sometimes like when you're running the ball and you don't feel like you can get any more yards and you just have, you mean, you don't have that.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, like, try to go out about something like this.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, that's something that he's got to work on, but I mean, he's got a lot more help.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just here for the Patriots in terms of the office of line of running backs in the wire receiver.
- 12:17[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, he should have a better season.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_03]: Well, speaking of new pieces that you talked about.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_03]: The Patriots have acquired a lot.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_03]: You have a new head coach now.
- 12:29[SPEAKER_03]: Josh with Daniels is back as O.C.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_03]: Give me your thoughts on your new coaches.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_03]: From the beginning.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, variable.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be real candidates.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_00]: He was in my first choice.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: Like, most of you want to have been Johnson.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's just, that's who we want because like we've been rolling with a defensive head coach.
- 12:48[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, you know, parcels and the mid-nineties was a defensive coach.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Pierre was a defensive coach.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: We have for three years, then also we got Bill Bell check for like a good, twenty punches as a defensive coach.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: We got Gerada to the defensive coach.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of families is like, we need to go on the other side of the ball offensively because my thing is with defensive coaches, I mean, I love a defensive coach, but the problem is whoever's running your offensive, they do a great job.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_00]: They're not going to be there.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: And so you got like the old seeing, you know, and keep replacing them.
- 13:22[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, like I said, like, Ben was my first choice.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_00]: Ravel was like my second choice.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, I think he's a really good coach.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: I have no beef for Ravel as a, you know, I think you did really well in intensity for what he had.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, his quarterback was Tana Hill and I really had Derek Henry and I mean, like, I mean, I'm a J. Brown for a couple years.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, he's proven that he can coach up teams.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because let's just say to the Titans, weren't like super talented.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, but he got him to the place a bunch of them years.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_00]: Josh McDonald's is like a blast from the past.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's for me, it's like a fifty-fifty.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I mean, he's really good with quarterbacks.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: So really young quarterback, and he's to be developed.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, he did a really good job with Tom.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, like, he did a good job with him.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, back Jones, you know, I mean, like, he'll get any coach them.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_00]: He's rookie year.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I mean, there's that aspect of it, but from the play car aspect, I mean, he's probably the best play carling office quarter that that we've had.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, since since I'm a Josh left, you know, in a moment, was a twenty twenty two, I believe, the twenty one, twenty two.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like we had the whole Joe Judd's experiment thing, which was ludicrous.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_00]: I was being held last year.
- 14:32[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, he's the best play car, my only issue with Josh is he like, he, he loves those screens.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and I mean for me it's like like I said I'm a Georgia fan like so my OC out there he throws a lot of screens.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean like guys on the weekend they're forcing I'm going to scream you to death.
- 14:53[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like it's one of the situations where
- 14:55[SPEAKER_00]: we have Drake made like he can make every throw on the field so I just hope that Josh takes that into consideration that say hey like we don't we don't we don't necessarily need to throw the ball short every single time like you know I mean like I mean like I want to utilize Drake skills and I mean all his skills are he can make every throw so so I'm just hoping that he you know I'm like he designs the offense that way I mean you can see the frustration when it came to Mac Jones house frustrated he was when it came to
- 15:24[SPEAKER_03]: not allowing him to do certain things.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_03]: And I know it wasn't Jasper Daniel at that time because of you said, Josh, I left.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_03]: He only coast him for a year, right?
- 15:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, that's right.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_03]: And then after that, you could see the frustration when Matt Jones and not that I thought Matt Jones was a great quarterback, but I mean, also thought that he'd get the right people behind him to show what he could do, you know, but, you know, there's no hearing over there, but yeah.
- 15:53[SPEAKER_00]: Um, well, we were just talking about the thing with Mac is like Mac is like, you know, I'm like, I mean, like, I mean, like, I view, I view him like a broad, I'm not, I'm like, and then the purpose, I'm not saying he's as good as broad people.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's like a broad person, like, you got to have weapons around him, like he's got to be like a point guard.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's what he's best at.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and we just didn't have a team for that.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I didn't want to drive Mac in the first place.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, okay, got you.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_03]: Um, this obviously is the picture is went big time running.
- 16:21[SPEAKER_03]: And one of the big fish you guys got was Stefan Diggs.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_03]: Do you like this move?
- 16:29[SPEAKER_03]: And how do you see the Patriots using him?
- 16:33[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I like the move from an aspect that we didn't have a number one guy.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like we were in the market, the trade for T-higgins, that didn't happen.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_00]: We were in the market to sign the guy from Tampa Bay.
- 16:47[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: This is landscape.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: God.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, God.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_03]: We don't market for that, but then like I was giving him some money, too.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he turned it down.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm like the reports with thirty million, but I was obviously before free and seeing like right, you know, I'm in the book signed up before free and see.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, we were trying that we were trying to upgrade our virus here when we begin with.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_00]: And it didn't really happen and you know, I'm like, so digs to me like,
- 17:15[SPEAKER_00]: The thing that is some of the pictures right here is really young.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we got a lot of young guys.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_00]: I think the oldest guys like Kendrick born.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, last year we drafted Polk and we drafted Baker and then I'm this year we drafted Carl Williams.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_00]: So we needed a guy with a veteran guy that can kind of
- 17:32[SPEAKER_00]: Mentor these guys and I mean like Diggs is I mean like I mean Diggs is good for that in in the system that we're gonna run because he's good and I mean like all sorts of purposes I mean like I mean other than like you know, I mean on the Henry and Monterey Steven said and I'm a trigger on Henderson he won't get a lot of turrets like he he won't get the ball a lot so they said they're gonna be using him like Adam and
- 17:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that's probably what's going to happen because of the things.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, with Joshua Gaines coming back, like, you know, I'm going to our own office with a lot of like choice routes.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_00]: And I just think that fits Diggs world because I mean, Diggs can read it, you know, defense really well.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I think that's going to fit his game really well.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, for the reports that I've seen, he's been working out a lot, he's been in the playbook.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_00]: And I can see that like I mean like the one the one thing about the pages is you know, you know, we we have guys that kind of attack in parts of the field.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think for digs, it's gonna make it job a lot easier.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, like I said in the beginning, like for me, like digs is what I want digs to do is just to kind of build in that like worth effort to you know, to the guys like Jalen pole.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, you know, to Devon Baker and you know, a cow wheels like that.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_00]: The guys are a little bit of lead for like a year to like, you know, and he won't do that because I'll give him that.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_03]: Like he's a workholic.
- 18:51[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, he would do that.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_03]: He will put those guys underneath his wing.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_03]: Like he did with Shakira.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_03]: Like he will definitely teach those guys how to be a professional, um, you know, player on the field.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_03]: I have to feel it's none of my business, but on the field, he's definitely going to be that locked in while I receive her.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that like, yeah, like, you know, I mean, the facility, I'm great with days.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when it's time, when it's not work time, then that's, I mean, like, I saw with the bills, I mean, I didn't really hear too much about what, you know, what I mean, you know, like the Texans, I mean, like, you know, you know, Houston's a really
- 19:30[SPEAKER_00]: big city and city where you can even find a party, you know, I'm looking forward.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like bosses, like I said earlier, like bosses are smaller city, but like if you want to find stuff to do, you know, I mean, you could find stuff to do.
- 19:43[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, like, like I said, like I'm feeling my word about it off the field, kind of this concern me a little bit.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for sure for sure.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_03]: Now the pictures defense, they're known for a good defense, but you have some issues getting to the quarterback last year.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_03]: Tell me, talk to me about your defense this year and what one solid player or players do you like that you guys picked up?
- 20:07[SPEAKER_00]: So like, just touch them back on a defense last year.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_00]: Like defense, you know, like a lot of the fan base went into the season thinking like we were going to be a good, you know, the real good unit that the previous year.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, they'll get fired, but I mean, like, you're our man was it was under him.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_00]: So, so we figured like most of us figured like, yeah, you know, I mean, won't be as good, but I mean, what's that?
- 20:28[SPEAKER_00]: Now we took more than a step back on the area.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I believe the stats broke down, like, you know, passing your, like, you know, passing your, like, you know, passing your, like, twenty-secondary, rushing your, or twenty-secondary, and like we just could not stop the run.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_00]: Like that was, that was the main problem.
- 20:44[SPEAKER_00]: And it was really like you who I believe it was the first either the first second mind again.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Miami just ran the same right.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: Same play.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_00]: We just don't have a lot of edge rushes, so we weren't getting to the quarterback, but we had traded due to our before the season.
- 21:20[SPEAKER_00]: And I believe midway through the previous year or during the season like we traded Josh, who changed to the cheese.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was, I think it was no last season or whatever.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_00]: And so like we just did not have a premiere as Russia and like the scheme wasn't there to scheme it up to get there.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, the quarterback was just sitting back there and I mean, yeah, I'm like we have Gonzo who's going to some consider like, you know, I mean, to be one of the rising stars as a quarterback with which I believe too.
- 21:47[SPEAKER_00]: but the fact is like we literally had one boundary corner and we didn't have a pass for us and we couldn't stop the run.
- 21:53[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, you mix all that stuff together.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not a good situation to be.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, if you try to actually make stops and actually try to win games.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, like some of the pickups that I liked, I'll start in a second area like Carlton Davis who we've served in the lines.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be playing CB two.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, so I'm going to go to put him next to Garanzo.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be interesting because I think we're him there.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's a, I mean, to me, he's like a risk taker.
- 22:18[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I mean, so we don't know where the other, I mean, but I'm, you know, I'm like, I'm, I mean, like, transparency like I actually want to sign DJ Reed and it's funny because we signed Carlton Davies and then DJ Reed went to the line.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_03]: So which is I know that was so weird, right?
- 22:33[SPEAKER_03]: What was open you guys did you get DJ Reed to be quiet?
- 22:37[SPEAKER_03]: I like D.J.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_03]: Reed.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_03]: I do.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I mean, like, you know, it wasn't just me.
- 22:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, my life is in my family, but just in general, like, if you talk to a lot of football people, like, they love D.J.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_00]: Reed.
- 22:48[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, some people even think that he better than that sauce.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't, I mean, honestly think that, but I mean, like, he's, you know, I mean, like he had sense, you know, in certain games that he did play better.
- 22:58[SPEAKER_03]: I think what it came to D.J.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_03]: Reed, I think he, he's a willing tactler where sauce isn't, you know, so.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_03]: You know, so I guess that's where people are like, well, if you've got to be a willing tackle if you're going to be, and I also believe that sauce of we all get known to the jets a little bit.
- 23:19[SPEAKER_03]: Sauce had a down here and I think people seeing that he wasn't willing enough to tackle and they went after him because he wasn't.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so that's a secondary point of the the moves that I like I mean like linebackers like a lot of people right now are saying that we have one of the better linebacking cores in the Fc which I mean I want to go with it, but I ain't really seen these guys on So I mean the two pickups that we really had that I really like was like Spain who I became from the raiders like he's really good.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_00]: He's really good against the run
- 23:52[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he's really good at, you know, you know, I'm like going down hill and I mean, that's where it was going to ask if his linebacker's just to, you know, you know, you know, you know, me flow down.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, I think you can have a pretty big impact.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then on the lines, I mean, pretty much like the only impression that we really have is I mean, like, landry.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so like, we're dependent on him to be very impactful because I'll side it him.
- 24:15[SPEAKER_00]: We don't really have news rushes.
- 24:16[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's pretty much it.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we did sign case off from the raiders too.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, he's like a situational pastor.
- 24:24[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't, I think you had like five or six sex last year.
- 24:27[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't, it just depends on the concept.
- 24:29[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to use him.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm, I'm not really sure on him.
- 24:32[SPEAKER_00]: And then like the deadline, obviously, like we signed up to Williams from the Eagles.
- 24:35[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, you know, me hitting Peribus football.
- 24:38[SPEAKER_00]: And so like when you pair him, what I mean, Christian Barmore, because Christian's been going through, you know, training camp.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_00]: you know, many cans and he's been to be healthy.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_00]: So I think when you put those two guys together, and then I think we signed, signed this guy named Tangler from the Cardinals, like he's gonna be our nose.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, he's gonna be our guy that we are dependent on to actually stop the run.
- 24:59[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, you cover all those pieces together.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, what I'm looking at is I'm hoping that we're back being a good defense of team.
- 25:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm hoping that we're like a top fatigue defense.
- 25:07[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that that's what I'm hoping.
- 25:09[SPEAKER_03]: I'd like Landry.
- 25:09[SPEAKER_03]: I went Landry maybe like two, three years ago for the bills.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_03]: because when they brought over that Juan Jones play for the Titans, and I want to land.
- 25:20[SPEAKER_03]: But I knew that wasn't going to happen, but I just love how land he played.
- 25:24[SPEAKER_03]: He's a real hard nose as player.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_03]: So I just, I really wanted him marty.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_03]: But switching over to the offensive side of the ball, the Patriots online was shaky last year.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_03]: Like we talked about, how confidence, how confidence are you this year in your online?
- 25:41[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, shaky is putting it lightly to you guys.
- 25:44[SPEAKER_00]: We were, like I said, like we were the worst.
- 25:47[SPEAKER_00]: If we weren't the worst, we were thirty-first in passing or blah, like it was, it was pretty bad.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to work.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, like we also have a very young all those a lot.
- 25:58[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I mean, like last year, like we, I think we just like two or three guys, you know, I mean, like we had drafted a guy to take saying in the play guard, can I remember his name right now, top my head off.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure if it wasn't Henderson.
- 26:10[SPEAKER_00]: I was actually late in Robinson.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_00]: So in sports he was good.
- 26:14[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, certain games he was really good, certain games he was so so.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_00]: And then we also drafted a right tackle who just was not healthy.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think that's what kind of led to us signing, signing Morgan Moses from the Jets.
- 26:28[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I mean, I mean, Morgan is on the older side.
- 26:31[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not spending him to be here for four or five years.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, I mean, for what I've heard from him and his press conferences and just him talking like he's it seemed like he's going to be the leader for almost a while and you know, I'm so we drafted a little Campbell who's obviously, you know, he's, you know, he's going to be another young player.
- 26:48[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, cold strength who we drafted three years ago going to his fourth year.
- 26:51[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's coming back off for like a, I think it goes like a teleensory like he didn't play all year last year.
- 26:57[SPEAKER_00]: So Morgan, like Morgan, I look at a guy that he's going to lead that room.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not saying he's going to be like an all-pro-right tackle or something like that.
- 27:06[SPEAKER_00]: That's not a word where I think he's going to be impactful, but I think he's going to be impactful.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like a big situation.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to bring our guys along and actually show them how to be like a professional environment.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought he's never a pretty good impact.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_00]: Um, they also brought in the center from the Vikings.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was Bradbury.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not, I'm not harming like what I've seen from him last year.
- 27:30[SPEAKER_00]: He just, I mean, he's not going to pass protection.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's like anchors, not that good.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_00]: Not really that good.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, run defense.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, but I think they brought him in just for the fact that they're going to want him to start at center.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because we drafted the kid out at Georgia, who's who's a center slash guard.
- 27:47[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's Jared Wilson.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they're prepping him to either be a god or a center.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_00]: So I think he's kind of the edge of just to learn for right now.
- 27:55[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I want his time for him to get in the game.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_00]: I believe that's what's going to happen.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously, like we drafted Trevi on Henderson in the second round.
- 28:03[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like running back to that.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people like.
- 28:05[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 28:07[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's really good in past protection.
- 28:09[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a lot of top and speed.
- 28:12[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think the reason why they brought him in is like, Martin, like, I love margin of death, like, any end of the list out in a couple of years ago.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_00]: What I think.
- 28:19[SPEAKER_00]: Mondria's issue is fumbling the ball and I think that comes from too much volume so so I mean like I like drafted him like so so we have Mondria in that room.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_00]: We have you know Tray about Henderson that room and like we also have internal gifts in on me who we have the the previous year like I'm thinking you add all three of those guys together like Mondria won't have to play as much and then for I'm hoping that his fumbles will go down right like the last two years he has he's a very dynamic running bad right I mean you know a lot of the different things but
- 28:47[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, from when there's an issue and I mean, like, you know, I'm like the way that the Patriots were not talented on that side of the ball and we're not, we're still not the most talented team to lead on offense.
- 28:56[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, like, we have to be able to, it's not just from like Drake made, but it's also from the Titans of Argentina, run it back to not to turn over the football.
- 29:03[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I mean, we're getting trivia and I'm hoping that, like, kind of kills his like hard volume, you know, you know, I'm a game in the game.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: And so, so I mean, it's his, it's almost what goes down as well.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_00]: And then the last guy on the office, I probably would say it's like Kyle Williams.
- 29:17[SPEAKER_00]: He's a little guy that we drafted, third round.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of guys were hiring him.
- 29:22[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to draft him to well, but they pass on the way to get Kyle Williams.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_00]: And so like what I've seen from him and the tape after the draft and like, you know, I'm like the mini camps.
- 29:31[SPEAKER_00]: I've kind of like what I saw.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_00]: So I just kind of got to see that training camp and kind of see where he's going to fall in terms of how much points on that he's actually going to get.
- 29:41[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's so ironic that you guys have a colloy and we had a colloy that retired.
- 29:45[SPEAKER_03]: That's just so crazy to me.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_03]: So you're GM.
- 29:54[SPEAKER_03]: Do you see him back next year?
- 29:56[SPEAKER_03]: Because I'm seeing some conflicting stories where if he doesn't get it done, he's gone and talked to me about your GM.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a little shaky because like just a backstory for people that don't know like
- 30:08[SPEAKER_00]: The Patriots don't really ever name someone at GM, like, he's not even, like, that's not even his title.
- 30:15[SPEAKER_00]: So it's never been that way.
- 30:18[SPEAKER_00]: Over the last twenty-five years, we've never had someone at whole the title of GM.
- 30:22[SPEAKER_00]: It would always be like, you know, director of player personnel or something like that.
- 30:27[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, when you look at the draft, it's hard because it's like the one draft that he was responsible for in twenty-four.
- 30:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if you take Drake make out, if you take Drake man and Joe Miln out that drive, the drive wasn't that good.
- 30:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, I'm a guy's like Jalen Poco didn't who, whose main strength coming to the league was his hands he couldn't catch.
- 30:51[SPEAKER_00]: Baker just did not see the field.
- 30:53[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned, I'm late at robes in early.
- 30:55[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was, he was good in some games.
- 30:57[SPEAKER_00]: He was, I mean, he was okay.
- 31:00[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, and we also drafted a right tack on the previous year, who was just who who just got injured a lot.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't on the field.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_00]: So we didn't really know what, what, what, what, what he could be.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_00]: So, and then, you know, I mean, you look at the twenty five draft, everybody loved the draft, but the problem is my favorite part, one of his guys into the front office.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_00]: So it's really hard to know.
- 31:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, so it's like, it's hard to know like it's a given take like, I don't know if all the guys we drafted this year were, you know, like, those were will picks or like those were a variable, you know, like, I got a better from office.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_00]: As of right now, I mean, I can only go on for what, you know, I mean, like my owner saying the craft and like, you know, I mean, I mean, I'm never in the sense he's going to be there.
- 31:42[SPEAKER_00]: Now, now what is Rose going to be like, I still don't believe in, you know, I mean, my heart of heart is like, he's got to find a savor.
- 31:49[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's got input, but I don't think he's making the decision because I don't think Mike Redwood came into a situation.
- 31:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.
- 31:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's the kind of guy here.
- 32:00[SPEAKER_00]: So, but I mean, I think Wolf was going to be there, but it's just the question of like, what is his role going to be?
- 32:06[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I hear that.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_03]: Last question, where do you see the Patriots finishing and do you have a record for them?
- 32:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I do, um, for for for me is seven games still in this ten.
- 32:18[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and when I say silly, if everything in the world were right, I think we're going to win ten games and and part of the reason I think that is because of the schedule like
- 32:27[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mean, our schedule was a lot harder last year than, you know, I'm the one that was here.
- 32:31[SPEAKER_00]: Our coaching is definitely better.
- 32:33[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, the roster, offense, defense, defense teams is better.
- 32:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, I mean, pretty much everybody's saying that.
- 32:39[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, some people even expect us to finish second end in the division, because obviously, like, I mean, like, I'm not gonna share it or like, their bills are gonna wanna deliver.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like, unless something dramatically goes wrong with the bills, like, they should win the division.
- 32:52[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, so it's pretty much, the way I feel is like, we're gonna be battling with the dolphins for a second.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and whether that means that possibly being in possibly like playoff contention, maybe possibly.
- 33:03[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I mean, the picture got a lot of things to work on on both sides of the ball was just said earlier, like defensively, they got to work on stopping the run.
- 33:10[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and we have a concrete, you know, corner back one in and Garanzo and I mean, he's, you know, he made, you know, I'm in like second.
- 33:17[SPEAKER_00]: team last year, so I'll prove.
- 33:19[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't see him slowing down at all.
- 33:22[SPEAKER_00]: So I think we'll be fine there.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know, our lineback in court, like a lot of people think it's going to be a lot better, like it's better.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 33:29[SPEAKER_00]: Like people say it's going to be one of the top innocent AFC.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and so I mean, offensively, kind of falls on Drake, man, like, he's going to do a second year.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_00]: He started a lot of games last year.
- 33:38[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he's going to not need the fall to that sophomore slump thing that, like, something's going to go through.
- 33:43[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he's going to need, he's going to need to, um, to elevate the talent.
- 33:47[SPEAKER_00]: You know, from the wire see the side ends and running backs.
- 33:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, if it can do all the, I mean, if all the things that I say can happen, and I'm like, Raibu coach like you can coach.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't see why we cannot win between, I mean, seven to ten games.
- 34:02[SPEAKER_03]: I, you know, what I is for me, I say that you guys are going to finish second.
- 34:06[SPEAKER_03]: And I know everybody is saying, if two of us healthy, that's their position.
- 34:11[SPEAKER_03]: I think for me, it's, it's your coaching in, in mail.
- 34:15[SPEAKER_03]: Like,
- 34:16[SPEAKER_03]: Drake made my bad.
- 34:16[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
- 34:17[SPEAKER_03]: That confuses me when they both were there.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_03]: Drake made.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_03]: And I think it's like you said it's all on the development of him or your quarterback.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_03]: Can he take that next step?
- 34:28[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's on him.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_03]: Like, yes, you surrounded him again with with stuff on the eggs, a playmaker.
- 34:36[SPEAKER_03]: If you could just drop that down to him, short enemy intermediate.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
- 34:42[SPEAKER_03]: in the field.
- 34:44[SPEAKER_03]: He could be the golden golden guy as Josh Allen.
- 34:49[SPEAKER_03]: He did it for a digs.
- 34:51[SPEAKER_03]: That was the whole debate to Josh Allen make digs a dick, make Josh Allen.
- 34:55[SPEAKER_03]: Who gives a hell as long as they elevate in each other?
- 34:58[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that's what Jake Diggs is going to do for Drake.
- 35:01[SPEAKER_03]: And I can't wait to see it, but I can't wait to see it.
- 35:07[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want them to have a successful season, but I think he's a dog.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_03]: I really think that Drake is a dog.
- 35:15[SPEAKER_03]: Like he, like you said, he can throw that rock all over the field.
- 35:20[SPEAKER_03]: And we've seen it last game.
- 35:21[SPEAKER_03]: We played, played you guys, even though it was what it was, but you've seen the talent there for sure.
- 35:28[SPEAKER_03]: Like he has that talent.
- 35:30[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, like I was earlier, like I think it's the bills division until someone can really challenge them.
- 35:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think my team is a year or two away.
- 35:37[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, to be honest, like I mean, like this year, like, you know, I mean, like we could take that step to like I said, one between seven, ten games, like I mean, it's a good step to take, but like realistically, I don't really see us contending for the division.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, at least for another year or two, like I think it's just going to take some time, like because they're the roster.
- 35:54[SPEAKER_00]: was, I mean, like, they'll take left the roster so fair that, like, we're having to have to rebuild the roster and build up the town levels on multiple positions of the roster.
- 36:02[SPEAKER_00]: So I just don't, I mean, I could be a delugional Patriot fan and say, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I moved a challenge to build this year, but I just don't, I don't, I don't see that.
- 36:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think those are the roster that they have, the schedule that they have, like, I mean, you know, I mean, the BIOS, I mean, like the BIOS, but one between thirteen and fifteen games, if you look at that schedule,
- 36:24[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way that us of the dolphins are going to be able to win that many games.
- 36:28[SPEAKER_03]: I just hope my breath every time.
- 36:32[SPEAKER_03]: I do have a prediction, but if Josh goes, that's our team.
- 36:38[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what any great quarterback of your quarterback goes down that's your season.
- 36:49[SPEAKER_03]: Tell everybody where they can find you and what's going on with you.
