• 2:24
  Speaker 3: lot has happened since we had our last show on Tuesday,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: we had the schedule released Thursday night. Fortune Foxborough dropped
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: on Friday. We can talk about both of those things.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: What else, What else is going on in Patriots world
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: that you want to put on the table.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think there's anything too pressing.

• 2:50
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: So twenty seven, you know, starting to think of things
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: that you know you'll be looking for and all that
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff, But not a whole lot. You know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: we're but two weeks away from aj Brown potentially being
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: a Patriot potentially the countdown is on.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: We're less than a month away from mandatory mini camp.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, we're moving along here a little bit. I mean,
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: that's what happens when you go to the Super Bowl
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: fread is that everything start, it gets short, it gets
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: shortened so that it sort of sneaks up. Doesn't feel as.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: It is a little bit.
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: I feel like I'm behind a little bit on some things,
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: administrative things.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: I feel like it's just happening a lot faster, Like
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: I haven't really felt like this is a true off
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: season time yet because we haven't really had that, which
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: is good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's to me it's kind of
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: off season, right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: I like keeping I like keep him busy because I
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: don't like the off season gets.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Boring football wise. It does, but yeah, there are other things.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to do, right, and there's a lot.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: To do on occasion.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: On occasion, there are a lot of things to do
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: in the off season. Sure there is. You know, there
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: is no off season anymore, Fred.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: No days off.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: No, but like you know, you got a lot of
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: you know, like you talked about Fortune and Foxborough.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You just mad.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: It's a huge project that you know, we as a
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: content department do. I'm not intimately involved with the project,
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: but it's something that our department.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: While you hear your voice.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I only heard Evans on this episode, but that's okay.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yep, No, I heard Joys. You did. I thought I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: heard Patriots are at the Combine?
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that was you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: That was you. That was you. I didn't even recognize
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: my own voice. Yeah, that was you.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Oh boy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: The sultry tones of Dulce all right. Yeah, So if
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: anyone wants to you know, give a critique good or
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: bad about Forge. We're open to it. And then weird
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the schedule?
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Did it feels like it came out so long ago,
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: but the last show we did Thursday, it officially hadn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: been released. That's right, So give us your thoughts on
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: opening Wednesday night NFL kickoff in Seattle as we sort of.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we talked about you know, if they did,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: is that a good thing or a bad thing on
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the last show, And you know, I'm still ambivalent about
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: it because I think on the one hand, you get
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: them early, maybe you know they're they've had some changes,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: maybe they're just not gonna be up to speed. But
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: on the other hand, neither will we perhaps and particularly
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Drake May. So I'd love to, you know, get that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: second shot at the Seahawks when Drake May sort of
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: has taken that next step mentally as a quarterback. But hey,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: you play them when they when they schedule them, right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I think I got no complaints.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: I think this would probably be better to me, just
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: because week ones are weird and once they get into
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: the season, if you're playing Seattle and it's gonna be hard.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Whenever you play Seattle, they're the best team in the league,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: so it's gonna be a hard game no matter what.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: So if you get into the game and then you
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: you know, you play them in week twelve and they're
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: ten and two in their role in my dad, seems
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: a lot more of a difficult game. Then let's say
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: playing them in the opener, like we've seen some really
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: weird results week one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Week one is weird, as you got, I said, But
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: I also think there is a an oddity of playing
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: that game. And I know that the record is really
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: good for the defending champ, you know. I think I
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: mentioned last week that the numbers was sixteen and five
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: since they kind of started that defending champ hosting the
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: NFL kickoff, So the number, the numbers say, it's really good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: I just think it's kind of a weird emotional game
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: for the team that's celebrating. It's sort of looking back.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: I think Bill used to hate these games. Yeah, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: because you know, you're trying so hard to put what
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: was accomplished in the past and the rearview mirror and
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: focusing on the future, and then you have this one
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: last reminder of oh, we're pretty cool, you know, there's
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: a banner up there that celebrates everything we did.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think emotionally move on now. Yeah, that'll be his thing. Yeah,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: can we move on now?
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: So I think Kevin said it right. There's no great
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: time to play at Seattle. Sales a very good team.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Patriots are you know, supposed to be a very good team.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: So now here's a wayman week one that I don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: hear anyone talking about out preseason.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, weird preseason.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: So they're playing the Eagles, which we knew, but yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: they're playing the Colts and the Browns.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: No Giants, Yeah, no giants. No commanders usually are in there, Yeah,
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: something like that. Something.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not happy the.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Browns in the preseason is a bizarre one that one
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: I have not experienced.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: It's usually look at the network that that commanders. I'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: not happy and I'm not happy about that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a nationally or national game, so it
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: won't be KSP produced and Paul doesn't get it was
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Bob's furniture.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't have dates, shouldn't. Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: So they're playing the Colts on August thirteenth, that's at home,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: seven thirty, it's a Thursday. Then they're playing the Eagles,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: preceded by a joint practice. Uh here uh, And that'll
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: be Saturday, the twenty second at seven, and then they
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: travel to Cleveland for the last one on the twenty seventh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: and that'll be on a Thursday as well.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I interesting how they handle those two games?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Go ahead?
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I was gonna say the same thing. You know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: five days in between those two games and the Eagles week,
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: you'll have the joint practice, and you'll have the preseason game,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: and then you have the opener. You know, the opener
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: is a little bit of a quicker turnaround than it
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: would be normally. So they haven't really played anybody in
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: that last preseason game anyways in a couple of years.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: But how do they handle that preseason finale will definitely
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: be interesting because it's so condensed.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And you know, they they start, like we just talked about,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: in Seattle, so that's a long trip. But then they
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: have eleven days until the next game because they're playing
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: on a Wednesday to open the season.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh comes here, and I like that spot.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers comes here.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I really like that spot.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: I do too, especially after what happened last year here
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: in a similar time.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: If you I think it was Week three last year,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: all those turnovers. Yeah, yeah, yes, So I like that spot.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: I was another little bit of NFL news.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And should I just go down the schedules? Do
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you want to just go down? Yeah?
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: So then then the next week, on the twenty seventh,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: they go to Jacksonville, So they got some making up
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to do in Jacksonville.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Too, right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: I'm very curious to see the Jaguars have been a
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: seesaw team. One year they're in the playoffs, the next
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: year they're picking top ten, and they've gone back and forth,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: back and forth for the last like half decades. So
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: interested to see if they can sustain their success that
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: they had in the first year with Liam Khane.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: So that's one that I think does not fall in
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: a great spot for the Patriots because of what Evan
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: just said. Jacksonville's sort of been a jacko and hide team. Well,
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: they haven't hit a hide spot yet.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: You know, if they're.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: Going to be a bad team, I would rather wait,
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: you know, six, seven, eight weeks in, maybe they're two
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: and six and you know, you feel a lot better
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Week three down there, you know, hot should be pretty hot.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Oh god, I remember.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: Not a great spot nineteen right it was or it
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: was a scatcha it was.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: One.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: There after we played the Jags in the AFC is
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: eighteen eighteen.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: It was easily one of the hottest games I've ever.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And they got blasted in that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they did, and the place was thought that they
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: had just won the AFC Championship game.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: That was a.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Disappointing year for Jacksonville to evans point. Yeah, but you
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: didn't know it was a disappointing year yet because they
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: still had hope at the beginning of the year.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: They were good in seventeen.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: They started off okay in eighteen again, this is just
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: don't know, that's not a great spot.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: It was unbelievably hot, like hotter than Miami hot. Like
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: that was terrible.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Next week they go one o'clock to Buffalo. So week
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: four it's at Buffalo.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was similar last year too.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, one o'clock game o'clock.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Not a not a primetime spot, not a four to
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: twenty five new stadium, new stadium pills Patriots. I think
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: that Bill's Patriots has a chance to really be a
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: legit rivalry in Division rivalry, I think. So, you know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Josh Allen and Drake made for the next ten years, right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: And so I'm a little surprised that neither Buffalo game.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: I know the second one is like the Game of
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: the Week four twenty five Game of the Week window,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: but I'm a little surprised that neither Buffalo game is
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: in primetime.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I agree. I was a little surprised by that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: To the good best, you know, and I know that
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: the Denver one, you know, I know Fred will get
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: to that. The Denver one later is one of those
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: you know, tbds, But I was surprised that one too.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that could be a Saturday night or yeah, it could.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Be it could end up being another primetime game. Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: So then you come home for two games. You got
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: on the eleventh of October. You got the Raiders here,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: so that's another one where you get some making up
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: to do for last.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Week, the cupcake portion of the schedule.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you got the Jets here on the eighteenth,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: also one o'clock games.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: So those those two I would put in the must
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: win gyeah, those those are looking good. Then you get
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: your night tough again.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then you get a Thursday night game. Uh short,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: short week, You're going to Chicago, what are we thinking?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's love that matchup as they all are.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Really fun game obviously, you know the first pick and
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: the third pick in the same draft. Both teams are
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: headed in the right direction. There's all sorts of storylines
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: of like these coaches easily could have been flipped, like
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: they Rable could be coaching the Bears and Ben Johnson
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: be coaching the Patriots. By the way, that whole thing
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: worked out. So fun game.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I really like my favorite match the whole Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: So then you open up November November one, four to
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: five game on CBS New England at Miami. Are the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Miami w got to be I'm looking at both the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Jets games and both Miami games as wins. But you
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: can't count on so I am too.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: But I will say I'll accept reluctantly three and one.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll accept the losing in Miami if it depending
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: on how it looks.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: So I guess because it's just a hot I get
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: that with Miami, and you know, who know, maybe Malik
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: Willis is the next thing. Yeah, you know, I was
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: thinking more in terms of the Jets in that whole
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: Geno Smith kind of recaptures the Seattle magic thing.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Well, he has killed the Patriots to be fair right now, but.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: If he plays the way he did last year, the
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: Jets are not beating the Patriots. If he plays the
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: way he did two years ago, then they could once.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: I think the Jets and the Dolphins are both teams
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: that are tanking. They both want to be picking in
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: the top five. They want one of the quarterbacks. And
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: next year's training.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Miami certainly is. I don't know about the Jets.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: If you want me absolute aspirations to go to the
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: playoffs again, they win the division, you got to win
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: those you gotta you gotta go four and I think
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: and then you gotta beat the Raiders.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I think those fair. I think that's fair. Yeah, that's
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a fair point. So then the next week a Sunday game,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: another four to twenty five game, the Packers travel to Gillette.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So you're playing the Packers for twenty five November eighth.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: The goat will be in the house.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: These are that's the one that Brady will do.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: Yes, these are the games that I think will separate,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: like do you have a another really good year or
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: you're just Okay, you know, not an easy game. Green
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Bay's a good team. Yeah, yeah, you have met home.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: I think you should win that game. You know again, Now,
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: there's a million things can change between now in the
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: middle of November when they play the game. But those
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: are the kinds of games to me that differentiate. Well,
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: we're gonna win eleven or twelve games again and show
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: you the last weekear it wasn't a fluke, or we're
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: gonna win eight or nine and you know, well they
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: were right about us.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It feels like.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: A coin flip game to me.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: I really have a lot of respect for the Packers,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: especially in the regular season. I just think that they're
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: a good regular season team.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Pants coach.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: It is it is at the time. That's the time
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: of season though, where sometimes they do start a little
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: bit wonky and then they turn it on late in
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: the year. It's kind of right on the border that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: But it'll be Brady's first game in the booth for
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: a Patriots game.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: I'll think about that, Freddy, any thoughts about Brady in
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: the booth, Well, I think that's the game and I
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: don't know anything.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: This is just speculation, but I think that's the game
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: where you have you celebrate Gronk.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: Right, Uh, could be Fox.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Game on Saturday. You do a thing for Gronk on Saturday. Interesting,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Brady can take part.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: I just automatically think of those as being much earlier
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: in the season.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: But that's a great point. Maybe great thoughts.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you know, Gronk has his own
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: Sunday media obligation, so I don't know if he's not.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Pregame, yes, yeah, but I don't know. We'll see. I'm
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: out of the media loop.
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm looking forward to Brady calling the game because
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: I just want to hear he's got to actually call
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: Patriot but we wasn't able.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: To hear it. I know, well you will.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: You have.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Probably anything that's notable will get clipped or talked about.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: But he hasn't really had to candidly talk about the Patriots.
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: I haven't heard him do a lot of the games,
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: but I will say that consistently, a lot of people
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: seemed to be in agreement that it was a really
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: tough start, but he showed a lot of progress in
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: year two.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: He's gotten better.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like his playing career. He got his
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: getting better and better.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: And I don't have a lot of that to toge
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: on my own. I haven't heard a lot of his games.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: I think the issue that they they had is like
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: they got to figure out how to best like use him,
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Like what's the best way to point him as the
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: play by play guy? As the producers like to me,
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: the best thing is is like just play quarterback, like
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: you you're Tom Brady. You're the greatest football mind at
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: that position maybe in the history of the game. So
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: just tell me, like, what are you looking at? What
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: are you thinking? What situation is it? Like, you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: it's there's thirty seconds ago, you have one time out,
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: you're down by three, You're on this yard line.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, Like what single thing I like the most about
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: the Manning cast, Yeah, is when they're late half situations
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: in Peyton and Eli do exactly what Evan just said.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: I don't need hot. I don't need him to be
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: first take like I don't. I don't need him to
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: be get takes. I want him to be giving seeing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: As a quarterback. Yeah, sure, why not?
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Uh So then Week ten, uh, the Patriots traveled to
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Munich to play the Lions. It's a nine thirty game
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: in the morning here on the East Coast.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I think is a huge break for the Patriots. To me,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: this is a must win for the fans. Yeah, I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: do think that's a that's a huge break for the Patriots.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: I think that would be a really difficult road game
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: that you don't have to play now.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: But I will make a prediction, and the prediction is
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Detroit's going to have a very disappointing season. So I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: think that there's a couple of games. Disappointment last season.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Yep, there's a couple.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Of seasons injuries this season, they're just not going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: play well.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: This is one of them. The Lions, the Chiefs. Like
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: what kind of team are they?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I put them in the Green Bay category.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Like these are three games, Like you want to
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: be a really good team, You want to show the
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: last year wasn't the fluke.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: You gotta win these games.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, But I just don't know, you know, did the
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Lions bounce back and they go back to being a
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: juggernaut that they were two years ago, or did the
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Chiefs get down get back? I would say I have
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: a better I feel better about the Lions bouncing back
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: from the Chiefs. I think the Chiefs roster still has
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: some issues.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. But I think the Lions they
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: did not do enough in the offseason.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: But they had problems. You know. They their offensive coordinator
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: switched from Ben Johnson to uh, you know, Dan Campbell's
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: calling plays. By the end of the year. On offense,
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: it was a mess they.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Got they got problems.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so must win. Not guaranteeing it because I think
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: it could be tough. But I think Detroit is going
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to have a down year, and I think that's going
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: to help.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: If they have another down year, then Dan Campbell is
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: getting hot.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: You could be, could be maybe that's worn off a
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Week eleven is the buye, as it usually is when
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: the team travels internationally.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: You get to buy in next week.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: So Week twelve, though, is another cross country trip. You
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: go into LA to play the Chargers Sunday night.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Uh and uh look at a tough game. Yeah, but
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: we're going to beat those Chargers.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: They'll take care of business.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: We owe them, we owe them.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Like everybody just keeps telling me that the Chargers are
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: are Like I'm supposed to be scared of the Chargers,
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: like emerging, But I think that'll be a tough I'll
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: believe it when I see it. Yeah, like they they.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Tell me when you've won something. Yeah, yep.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: I mean they did win eleven games with you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: half a roster last year.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Good for them.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: So you said, tell me when they win something. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: told you they just won eleven games last year.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying that, you know. I think Herbert's a
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: great quarterback. I love washing him play.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I think he's really good. Okay, that's great. He just
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: went from it's a really.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: Good Yeah, maybe great, strong, really good. I think he's
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: I think he's top ten. He's okay, I think he's
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: top ten in the league talent wise, certainly. But this
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: whole thing that you know, Jim Harbaugh was going to
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: come in there and turn them into a super Bowl
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: content their year in a year out.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: We'll see. We'll see Week thirteen on Sunday. It's so
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a meaningless win if they win. No, no, well, it
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: depends on it depends on whose.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: I just I just like to know beforehand, you guys,
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: I'm a broken record with this. I like to know
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: how I'm supposed to feel after the Patriots win. Great,
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: you guys just crapped all over the opponent five months
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: before the game. So I don't want to hear you
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: crowing about the win if they meaning in the NFL,
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: meaningless hard to win in the NFL, it's actually not
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: us sixteen teams do.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: It every week. Hard to win in the sometimes there's buys.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: You said that if you're going to like be a
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: good team again, there's certain games you have to win.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: To me, beating the Chargers is one of those games,
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: Like if the Patriots are going.
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: To That's how I feel about the Chargers, the Packers,
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: the Lions, those those win those I feel like those
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: are good teams. But if you want to be a
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: good team, you have to win more of those than
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: you lose. That's right, So I would put that in
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: a good win category. You guys disagree.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Meanings we say we disagree. You think stak tell me
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: when they've won something.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I meant, I'm that because of their Chargers, because of
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: what people say about it, because I don't think they're
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: a good.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: When we coach, when we move on to the next segment,
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: when we do this, I'll need you to explain this
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: to me, okay, because I don't really understand.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Everyone has not smart. They go into every season this
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: is the year, and they never do it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean that they're not competitive and that
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: you can't play your worst.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And still beat them. You still have to play well
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to beat them. As we've seen Week thirteen, Buffalo comes
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: here for twenty five games.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: The game could be for the division, could be Yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: those types of.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: You're getting down there. There's still a lot of football
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to play after that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: But still but tie breakers.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: And all that kind of are the only two teams
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: they have a chance to win the division?
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Yep, Yeah, I mean I think that the lost here
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: last year, even though the Patriots ended up going on
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: to this Super bowled like that one, I think really
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: stung for a lot of people in that locker room.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: I think they wanted Buffalo to beat Denver so that
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: they could have another shot at Buffalo because I think
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: they felt like they they kind of left let him
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: off the hook and they should have been.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Arrive over with then sort of took a little hit
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: from me with r A leaving you did you did
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: hate r I didn't hate him, but why do you
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: put words in my mouth? You're right, I didn't.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: I should hate him? I shouldn't say fun to correct.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: That's just much more accurate, much more accurate. I apologize.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I don't hate him, but there's no there's no red
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: ass anymore. You did you did love to poke at.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know from Brady Well.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: He this guy they internally promoted. So it's it's it's
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: still the same sort of program as we like to say.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: It's just like now they have an offensive minded guy
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: who's a little bit not as strict.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I'll have to look for other reasons to really, you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I hate them because I actually like Josh Allen. Yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I like Josh.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: You all know it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I wish he wasn't in our division because I like him.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: Just in case you thought it was going to get
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: any different from Buffalo in general and sports.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Like now, they're just soul crushing defeat.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: Last night they Game seven, the completely dominate the game
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: and find a way to lose because their goalie stinks.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: I just said, I said, I'm like, I genuinely feel
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: bad about it at this point.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I don't the heart, but Brett, it's not just that
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: they jump through another table.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: They have like heartbreaking like the game seven overtime in
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: hockey is one of the most.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: Like everything in the game for like the last two
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: periods plus overtime, like was completely one sided. Yeah, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: the goalie let's in a harmless wrist shot from forty
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: five feet like just as when we were.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: When I was watching it, you know, Tage had like
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: a mini breakaway.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: He just couldn't get the shot, and I was like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: oh my.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: God, like, not even he can do this for you.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: It was it's they get.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: They don't imagine if a Canadian broke in like that
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: and got held like that, they would have called seven
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: penalties on the Sabers, the fans would.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Have the Canadians would have thrown in jail.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: It was very weird rooting interests as a Boston fan
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: because I think the more you know, my age, Boston
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: fans probably hate Buffalo a.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Little bit more. I can't root for the Canadian.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Right, I can't either, But I think because of the
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: Bills and because of you know, we probably hate Buffalo
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: a little bit more than Montreal because the Big Bruins
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: haven't really played Montreal in a meaningly meaningful playoffs series
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: or anything in a long time. But the og fans,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: obviously Montreal is like the Yankees.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: You know, Week fourteen, the Vikings come here for a
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Thursday night game, the second Thursday night game of the season.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to put that one in the must win,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: must win.
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Thursday night home game you shouldn't lose, first of all.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: Second of all, Minnesota is a team that if you
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: don't take care of business, you can get in trouble
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: against for all the obvious reasons. Brian Floores is a
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: little bit difficult, but they're not going to have enough
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: offensively to give you a lot of problems. I don't
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: care if it's JJ McCarthy or Kyler Murray or whoever's
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: playing quarterback they have justin Jefferson, make sure he doesn't
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: go for two hundred on you. That's a game on
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: a Thursday night that you should win.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Yep, I'm very curious. That's another team. Who are the
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Minnesota Vikings by a Week fourteen?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah? Who's their quarterback?
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: What's distrection record wise? Are they going in? You know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Quezi took the fall for the quarterback situation and he
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: got fired as their general manager, like cow hots Koc's seat,
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Like I think he's a great coach, but they have
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: him won you know, so like and they really royally
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: screwed up the quarterback thing by.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, letting and everybody, everybody watch. Everybody
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: deserves blame on now then, right.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: I mean Koc is the quarterback guru. He could have said, hey,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: you know, Daniel Jones can play.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: So now you get the mini bye. After that, that
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: game's on the tenth.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: You don't play again until eleven game eleven days later,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Monday night. So this is even not even Sunday, Monday night.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: But you're going to Kansas City and you're playing the Chiefs.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: And I think the same question that you have about
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: the Vikings is fair to ask what team will they
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: be in week fifteen? You know, will they have the resurgence,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: will they be back to dominating the AFC West, or
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: will there be more problems with the Chiefs.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: I have concerns about that team, about that their offense
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: in particular. Now they signed Kenneth Walker that they're trying
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: to build a running game, but they do they really
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: have enough around Mahomes even if he's one hundred percent.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: It seemed to be lacking some pieces. But I will
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: say that will be a tough game. Oh I respect
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: mahomes and read a lot.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: And that atmosphere is going to be electric if there rough.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: If they're relevant, and I think they will irrelevant.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to that one. That's one of my
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: favorite games on the schedule.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: So then we're finally back to one o'clock next Sun.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: The Sunday after that, December twenty seventh, So no Thanksgiving,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: no Christmas.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Games, thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Schedule makers go to New Jersey to play the New
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: York Jets, and that's a breather. Got gotta have that one.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Gotta have it when uh. And then the final two
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: games are tvds. Didn't in the past, like only the
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: last game of the season was a TVD.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: In terms of the schedule, No, they do the last
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: two weeks now because.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I know they do.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: They move a lot of them, well, like the last
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: couple of years, last couple of years, how long it's been, Yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: but I think that was the case last year too,
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: which moved on Saturdays and whatnot.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: I don't understand it entirely because usually the college Football
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: Playoff is also being played around that time, and so
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: like you have end up having like both NFL and
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: college football playoff games on at the same time.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: What I don't understanders, Why can't they just schedule the
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: games on Saturdays and then flex them out.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah they flex everything else.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like you can flex all these other games from
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: week five on?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Why treat these last I don't know games I don't know?
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: And so last week I get because I know they
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: will they want to line up those times. So anybody
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: that's got playoff implications is playing at the same time,
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: so that I understand the Week seventeen one I.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Don't get anyway, it's uh so Week seventeen is Denver
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: coming to should be a good game? Yep, that should
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: be a good game.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: I would imagine that that's going to be an island
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: game of some sort, whether it's Saturday night or four
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: twenty five on Saturday or Sunday night or whatever. Like,
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: that's an AFC Championship game rematch with two teams that
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: should be buying for the AFC Championship.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Again, what's the date on that right?
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Like you know the like the date of the well,
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: like I know, you don't know, it's the specific Yeah.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: So the week before was the twenty seventh, so this
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: would be what the fourth first week, fourth, third, fourth,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: something like that. Yeah.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Uh and then week eighteen it's the Dolphins here. So
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: you you finished at home the last two weeks.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Nice like that, nice way to get ready for the
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: So there's your So what's your ceiling?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: What's your floor?
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: So I don't think that the schedule is a lot
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: harder than it was last year, but that doesn't necessarily
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: mean that it's super hard. It's definitely it's a lot harder,
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: but I think that we went from Mike super easy
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: to probably mid normal normal. Yeah, it's but it's not
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: like some people are talking about it like it's an
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: it's a what.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Would make it harder? Uh?
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: I think some of the teams that we went through
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: have the coin could flip either way. Like I think
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: that you know, Detroit, Minnesota, Kansas City, Jacksonville. Like we
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: look at these games in May and we say, oh,
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: those could be hard games or they could not be.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: Right right, like say this freadho I mean and you
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: might disagree, but who do you think is better?
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Baltimore or Pittsburgh.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Baltimore?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, so they avoid.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: Baltimore with the first play schedule because the Baltimore kicker
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: missed the field.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Goal in the last play of the season. So that's
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: one game.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: Who do you think is better, Houston or Jacksonville.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I think Jacksonville might have a better offense, but I
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: think Houston obviously has a much better meame.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Okay, so I would say Houston, but I not telling
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: you that I'm gonna pawn the table saying you're crazy.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: I think Houston's a little bit better. That's another break
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: the first place schedule lined up. You didn't get Houston,
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: you got Jacksonville. Ok So those are two of those
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: swing games that I think could have been a little
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: bit more difficult, made the schedule a little bit harder.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: I just think that there's still if you.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Came in second, then you wouldn't be playing a lot
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: of the teams that you are playing, you know what
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: No, but those are the games that there's only three
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: games that matter what position you finished fall in.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Those are two of them, right.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I just think that I think you'd be playing a
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: harder game if you finished in second. Generally, what I'm
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: saying of it, you play Divisions and Buffalo plays the
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: same Divisions that you do.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: I just think that you it just feels like you
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: have like five free wins on this schedule between the
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: Jets twice, the Dolphins twice, and the Raiders, Like those
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: should all be basically layups. And if you do that,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: if you take care of business in those games, to
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: get the ten wins, you need to go five hundred
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: and the other eleven games on the schedule like that,
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: twelve games. That's that seems very doable.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: So what's your floor and what's your say?
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Alex, you know had this was the question in
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: the newsletter, and my initial thing that I wrote down
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: was seven was my floor?
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: And I kind of couched it because I was a
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: little afraid of the blowback that I would mostly get
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: from you, Fred, And I said seven or eight? And
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: then I was stunned when you guys all said seven
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: or eight?
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my floor is eight.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: I was really surprised. I thought I was going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: be way on the low side. And then you guys
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: are all in the same neighborhood, or is it? I
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: would agree that that's that's the floor for me, seven
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: to eight wins.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: What's your ceiling eleven or twelve? I would say eleven, Yeah,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: my ceiling's twelve.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I think eleven and six. They had a really
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: good year year.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: That's a good that's a good year, bouncing back after
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: you know, playing a much more difficult schedule than you
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: did last year.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, some of the like metrics on the schedule, Like
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: they last year they played three teams with winning records
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: the whole year. This year they're projected obviously projected not
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: we don't know yet, but they're projected to play ten.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a significant difference. Now.
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: I would also say the amount of miles that they'll travel, yes,
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: is twenty seven league plus one.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Game outside of the time zone.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: We had a central time zone game last year.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: New Orleans, New Orleans.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: It was like the only game, Like now you're going
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: to Munich, You're going to the West Coast.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: A couple of times.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Yep, at least they broke them up, you know, like
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: the bye weeks in between the two Munich and Chargers game,
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: the Seattle games. Now the opening week of.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: The season so played.
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: Five prime time games for them are on the road,
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: which I think not just because with selfish media people,
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: but I think night primetime games are grind.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I especially road ones the international primetime too.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: So that's right, so they really have. They have six
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Islanders Stand Awards.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Island games, and five of them are on the road.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and they also have that one's a neutral site. Well,
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: I could be in Detroit on Thanksgiving then that would
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: be a much.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: More difficult, but it's on the road.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: They also have a Wednesday night game and two Thursday
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: night games, so there's a little that's a little quirky
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: in terms of this.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: The second Thursday night game, to me, is is a
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: definite quirk.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: The Wednesday to start the season.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: That doesn't that's actually good, that doesn't matter because it's
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: to start the Season's not a short week, right, Yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: but again, my second Thursday night game is a short
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: you know, that's an extra short week game, which makes
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: it I think challenging those kinds of quirks in the schedule.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: I think eleven wins, twelve wins, that'd be a really
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: good year.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about that Seattle game, and you know
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: what scares me most about that game their coach. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: think their head coach is sneaky. One of the best
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: coaches in the league.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's sneaky, Yeah, but no one really
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: talks about.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: It or quiet confidence about it. Thank you.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: That's the exact words I was thinking. You took him
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: right out of my mouth.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: He was gonna yell at me again for no. Those
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: are the exact words that I was thinking to myself
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: that describes him.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: He was the runner for Coach of the Year, was
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: he not?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I mean yeah, I mean, especially on the
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: defensive side of the ball, he's he's the darling of
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: the league on that side in terms of X his nose,
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: like everybody's trying to delate them.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Fred's been big on what is Drake May's progress and
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: going against that defense, you know, and you know, can
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: he show that he can handle some of those things?
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: And I look at it the way Fred just did
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: with with Mike McDonald saying, like, I'd be surprised if
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald went into that Week one game and just
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: said we'll just we're going to confuse him the.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Way we did in the Super Bowl.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I think more of him than that.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: I think he'll probably go up with some wrinkles that
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: you know, he hasn't really shown him before.
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: And they'll be a little bit of different personnel Like
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: Patriots come into that game with Dobbs and Aj Brown.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: Like AJ Brown's a much different type of receiver than
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Diggs is and like you you're gonna have to do
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: different things there. But uh, they're great team, he's a
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: great coach. And now they lost Koobi actor offensive coordinator.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: So I think that the lost Kenneth Walker, who was
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: probably lost Kennedy in the game.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: I think that the OC though you know it's the
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: Patriots have continuity. They have the same head coach, they
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: have the same play callers on both sides of the ball.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: The Seahawks will have a different offensive coordinator. I'm sure
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: they're running the same system, but it's going to be
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: a different play caller. And we know how that goes,
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: like breaking that in and Darnold and the play caller
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: getting on the same page and all that kind of stuff.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: You know, they drafted the Notre Dame kid to replace
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Kenneth Walker, Like is that is he just as good?
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: Is he close? Is he not? You know? So it's
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: a it's a little bit of a transition for them,
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: as we know, with the brain drain and stuff like that.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: So I think that's why it's better to play them
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: early because it might take them some time to transition away.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: No, I totally agree. I think it's better to play
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: them early. Yep, all right, so there's your schedule. There's
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: your schedule. Reaction eight five five Pats five hundred is
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the hotline podcast at Patriots dot com. Is the email address,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: and we do have some emails coming in about it.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Jack In and Aba. He's up in Detroit, Lions territory,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: staunch Patriots fan, but living in southeastern Michigan. I can't
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: help seeing lots of news about the Lions. The Lions
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: had a sneaky good offseason.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: They addressed every one of their problems with good players,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: albeit players who are not well known nationally. Beware, the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Giants will be a very competitive team this season. The
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Patriots better tighten their chin straps for that game the Giants.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to have a down.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: You mean the Giants.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I was going to say they don't play the Giants.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I meant the Lions. The Lions. Now, the Lions are
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: a good team.
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: Like I agree with Ev that if they have another
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: bad year, Dan Campbell's gonna start hearing some some talk
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: about whether or not he is just a quick, fixed
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: raw ra guy, or is he a good coach. But
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: there's talent on that team, and they've been really banged
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: up the last two years. I wouldn't sleep on the Lions.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: That's what that Detroit. That's a good win. Oh yeah,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: that's that was a good team that you plan.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: They hired Drew Petsing, who's a local guy. I think
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: he grew up in Wellesley, if I'm not mistake.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Is accurate, but Bay State league guy.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: They hired him as their offensive coordinator because they their
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: planned last year blew up in their face and they
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: had to move off of it. So, you know, they
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: trying to replace Ben Johnson, and I maybe it's a
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: little bit of a victory laugh because I'm a big
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: Ben Johnson guy. But like, Ben Johnson might have been
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: the best coach in Detroit, right like that, He might
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: have been really the mastermind behind the whole thing. Dan
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: Campbell to me, still a little bit unproven by himself,
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: you know, and he had the all star coaching staff
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: around him.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Yep, they were great.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: You know, now that Ben Johnson's gone and you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Aaron Glenn's gone, and that didn't look as good.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I agree, Justin Wrightson schedule looks like the ceiling could
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: be twelve and five and the floor could be nine
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: and eight. I think we're all saying that kind of
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: the same thing.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Lots of quality games and tough matchups, but this could
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: be another season over five hundred in another AFC East title.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Thoughts. Yeah, that's my goal win the AFC East.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: That should that should be the goal. You won the
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: AFC East last year? Yeah?
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Everything after that? Should that should be your first goal?
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: That's icing on the cake after that. I don't think
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: nine and eight will get that done though.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: Now I'm reluctant to put the Bills in the category.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: But they changed head coach, so like is you don't
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: know what Joe Brady in over his head.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: You don't know what it's going to look like.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think Josh Allen is so good
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: that they're probably going to be a competent.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: I think that too, but the league is littered with
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: quality coordinators that didn't make the transition as head coaches.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I still think that roster has has holes.
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, I guess if Dj Moore is has you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: a little bit of a renaissance there, then they'll be better.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: But I still got some issues.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: They didn't do enough.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: I just have a lot of respect for Josh Allen.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: I think he'll be good no matter what.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: All Right, Dustin writes in the off season is always
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: tough for me because it's just a reminder of how
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: far away the season actually is. And I don't have
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: any football questions right now, But I'm here to make
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: three way too early predictions that I think will happen.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Number one is Remandre will have another eleven hundred yard season.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Number two Gabe Acis will have double digit sacks his
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: rookie season Illinois Bias.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: And number three Drake may Well, I think we read
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: this already. Yeah, this is very familiar to the email.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Listen to the show. If you're going to send an
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: email and.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: Tell you that we already did you send it again,
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: same email, he send it again.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: If you're going to send an email, at least listen
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: to us so that you know when we read it.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: So you've been.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Scold a double digit sack guy in accush.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: He was in college, but you know he used a
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: lot of a lot of that was power, and like,
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: you know, is that going to translate and is he
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: going to be able to bully the NFL.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Ackles That's kind of what my thought process was. Hard
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: to get double digit sacks. Doing it that way, you're
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: going to get really good player. I really liked that
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: player a lot, Yeah, but I just don't necessarily see
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: him as a dynamic.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like more disruptive than like a sack guy. Like
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: I feel like he's going to push the pocket and
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: collapse the pocket and be felt on his side. But
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: I don't know if he's going to be like a
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: big time you know, double digit sack.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: Well, certainly out of the gate now he could develop
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: into that, yeah, but out of the gate, I'm not
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: sure he's going to start. You know, he's probably going
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: to be behind Landry and Jones as a situational guy.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: So we talked about the schedule now, the schedule videos.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Obviously we see what the Patriots did. We did the
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: roller coaster with Six Flags. Thank you Six Flags for
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: helping us out there. They literally opened up the park
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: for us and it was just the Patriots there filming this.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: So that was really nice the Six Flags to do that,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: and they had a lot of fun doing it, the
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: players did and the staff, so that was really fun
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: But what about the other teams. Who do you think
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: was your winner? I'm going to defer to him.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: I just feel like, and this is just my opinion,
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: but I just feel like we're getting very repetitive yep
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: with these Yeah, okay, okay, I know everybody loves what
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: the Chargers do every single year. To me, it's the
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: same video every single year. Right, So here's an animation
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: of something. Here's a couple of shots that, you know,
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: topical pop culturary type of things. Obviously they took a
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: couple of shots at us and the head coach and whatever.
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: That's fine. I just think it's the same thing every
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: single year.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: You know, the Titans did the Man on the Street
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: thing again. There was some funny moments and some funny lines,
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: but it's the same video that they've done two years
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: in a row. Yeah, you know, so like just a
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: little bit more.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that we are is the best or
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: anything like that, but like we tend to, we had
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: the retirement house, we had the goodwill hunting thing. Now
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: we had the roller coaster, like we tend to.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: We had Portnoy last year. Do it a little bit
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: change up? Yeah?
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll I I thought there were some really
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: good ones. I really did. The Jets one intrigued me.
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: I thought the Jets one was very aesthetically pleasing.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just had to watch. You had to watch.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: I didn't watch the whole thing. I didn't get through
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: all seventeen of them, but the first like four or five,
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: I was like, people were clowning it, and I was like,
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know, this is like kind of like like
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: watching somebody Molan or like the Zamboni or whatever it's.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: And did you notice did you catch in the knife
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: reflection of the scary mask in the knife reflection? No,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: so every time you can see a reflection in the
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: knife and it's like like a ghost.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: I just thought the paint idea is like, oh, when
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: the brush came down on the paint, I was like
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: that just that's just nice.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: And then I really like the step Brothers take off.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I thought that was well done.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: They both bought into it. I think they, you know,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: for football players, they acted it well. Yeah, so you know,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of kudos for doing that, you know, really clever. Uh,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: you know, to have a guy like Kirk Cousins, you
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: know who they hope will be backing up Mendoza. You
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: don't know what kind of situation it's going to be
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: and how Cousins is dealing the fact that they were
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: both or he was willing to do that and buy
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: into it. Hats off to them for that.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: I agree, and I actually that was my first thought,
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: was like, this is kind of a way that you
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: can make it look like this relationship is gonna be okay,
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: this isn't gonna be contentious, This isn't gonna be Kirk
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: Cousins thinks it's his job and Mendoza thinks it's his job.
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: Big difference between his situation now and what took place
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: in Atlanta.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Atlanta.
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: There's a definite. You know we're gonna be We know
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: our roles, we know the situation that this is gonna
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: be good.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: So this one quick prediction, it's week five raiders here.
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Mendoza or Mendoza by week five, starting week one,
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: So I'd be surprised if be starting week one starts
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: week one.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I just think they don't think he's ready. H No.
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: I think they have this thing in the back of
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: their heads, but like, you know, we don't want to
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: ruin him, like this the fear, the fear of it, Like,
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: let's start the veteran early in the year.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe he can get.
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: Us, you know, off to a decent start and then
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: we can slow play. I think that's what a lot
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: of teams try to do now. Yeah, you know, like
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: kind of what the Patriots said to May.
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, I just think maybe I could see that happening.
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: I could see him.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: They have every intention of playing Mendoza in year one.
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: I could see that being a drink May situation whereby
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: was a week five or six. Maybe that's why I
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: said week five, Yeah, all right, uh.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: And then the other one one that were there were
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: a few that other ones that I really like. Kansas
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: City's was interesting where they had two actors and that
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: a man and a woman doing like old school type
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: of you know, newscaster playing off each other. But they
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: used to be married and now they hate the divorce
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: and they hate each other, so it's you know, barbs
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: mostly her at him, but barbs at each other throughout.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: It got a little long and the joke got a
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: little stale by the end, but it was obviously well done.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: These are these are professional actors that they had one
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: of them is the guy that the pregames, one of
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: the pregame shows used to do. They do use him
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: for to do bits.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: Oh I know who you're talking about.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so so it was well done, a little old. Uh,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: the jokes kind of skewed to an older crowd.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: I think the younger kids, you know, don't get the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: the married and divorced jokes.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I think that's his name, ye, Rob, Yeah, yeah, I
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: think he's Chiefs fan. Yeah okay, yeah, okay, Yeah.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: He's pretty funny.
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, he kinda does the same character a lot,
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: but he's he's good at it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: And I think the Bears. I give the Bears credit
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: for what they did. The Bears are another team that
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: they kind of do different things every year, like really
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: different things. One year they did the Cooking one Bear.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Round and this year they did a thing off of
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: Bob Ross, the painter who died, who you know, the
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: real low key guy, and one of their players they
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: had him dressed up like Bob Ross and he did
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: a really good job with with what he did. You know,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a big payoff on it. It was you know,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: you weren't laughing throughout. It was just they they they
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: bought into it, and they followed it through and and
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: it was well produced.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Let's say there's just the other than the repetitiveness of
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: some of them. Like if I see it on my
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: timeline and it says like six minutes, I'm out, like
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: they need to be faster, Like.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not because you're a busy guy. I'm just not.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I don't I'm not that schedule.
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: I'm not that interesting, right, So like if it's like
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: a minute and thirty seconds a minute, like I'll sit
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: through it. But like I said about the Jets one,
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: I kind of liked the Jets one because I just
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: liked that kind of stuff like it. I find it
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: relaxing almost in a way. But I didn't watch the
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: whole thing because it was like after five or six
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: of them, I was like, all right, I get the idea,
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: you mix the pain, and it turns like it just
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: wasn't needed to watch all seventeen of them. Yeah, some
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: of these videos I saw there were five six minutes long.
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: I was like, what are we doing? Like this is
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: the social media thing? It's not it's not a motion picture.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Like imagine you know six minutes being too long. Now
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: it's way too long.
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: Well, it's too long for something like that, bad for
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: a schedule video, like if it's some sort like.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: This isn't an Apple TV series. It's like, I'll take
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: a six minute what about good good will hunting that
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: we did? I don't want to see that for six
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was six minutes. I think it
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: was up there.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't remember exactly else.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Gonna look up, he's gonna look. But I think I
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: think I think it was. It was good. If it's
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: really good, it doesn't feel like six minutes.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't know it's this is made for
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: social media, Matt.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: I can't hear you, Mike. We'll never know.
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: We'll never know. This isn't made for social media thing right,
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: Like it's not this is not meant to be. It's
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: not a movie. It's not forged in Foxborough.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Like minutes, it's too.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Long for seven.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: All right? For four minutes? Four minutes? That okay, still
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: getting a little That was that's the high end, Okay,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: for the high end, high end. Alright, me a minute
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: and a half schedule.
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: I so you're gonna make fun of me, Fred, but
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna let you make fun of me anyway. I
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: kind of like the Dog one that we did. Yeah,
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: that was as our secondary.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: You liked the Dog one, Yeah, I'm shocked by that.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought Mike did a nice job with it.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: I thought they ran with it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: All the Stephanie and media relations I think was was
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: instrumental in the idea. Uh. And I thought it was
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: just kind of simple. Didn't again minute and a half,
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: like just real quick. It wasn't like the greatest thing
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: I've ever seen. I kind of liked the Bye Week
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: where they just show the dog like like that was
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: kind of funny. I like the Bob Socia and I
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: liked the Detroit Lione.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: People thought that Bob Soci's voice was ai. It wasn't.
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: I can verify because I was standing there when he
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: walked in he was speaking of I think.
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: That's a compliment like your play play guy is supposed
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: to have.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Like I like the.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: Lions thing where he just like Dan Campbell, just gets up,
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: goes over to the printer, takes the schedule, taxing us
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: to the bulletin board, like.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: It's like we sucked last year, we have work to do.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah, you know what I mean Speaking of
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: AI though.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: The Cardinals are getting a lot of blowback for their video.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: It's all AI and like you know, pro football talk
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: and basically they're just aggregate eating what other people are saying.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: But for some reason, people are really you know, not
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: liking the fact that they used AI to do.
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: People don't like AI. They are scared of it.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot to be scared of. Yeah, the
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Houston correctly for that reason.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: The so the Colts did the Simpsons and they must
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: have gotten they must have paid for that, right, like
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: that you need to pay for the rights for the Simpsons.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: They must have done some something.
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was. I just know that when it comes
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: to that kind of stuff that you need to Yeah.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I watched it and obviously they re used a lot
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: of the opening scenes from The Simpsons and then just
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: kind of changed it up a little bit. So it
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: wasn't completely original, But I give them an a for effort.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's how you they kept the costs.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a new animation, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So what
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: did you like? Do you agree with us? Or was
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: there ones that we missed?
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: The calls here? Why where are the callers? I think
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: we got We're working.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I just called them to test they are working.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: The Saints one was very good.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: They did a weather report update and it was excellent.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: It was really really good. If you haven't seen the
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Saints one, go watch that. I I I laughed at
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: It was. It was very well done, very well done.
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: My favorite parts of ours were uh well, seeing my
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: coworkers in the back of all the shots was great,
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: like Matis. It was on one Alex and Deuce were
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: on roller coaster, uh and then the other one Marcus
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: jones reaction to being on the roller coaster was probably
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: the the best part. And then of course the drake cameo,
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: you can't. You don't want the quarterback on the roller coaster.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: You know he's got he's got stuff to do.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Well, he was on the byeway. Do you see him
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: in the byewake? Yeah, he had he had all the
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: stuff toys like, yeah.
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: That we got him in there, all right.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: So that's uh, okay, that's our recap of the schedule
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: and the schedule.
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: The Dog one I did because it was a minute seconds,
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: which shocks me because you're not a dog.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: What is it that you're doing that you can't spend
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: the another three minutes. I just don't have any interest.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: So that's just say you're not interested.
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: Well, I didn't see any of the all these other
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: ones that you're talking about.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: It's not like Mike I had them all lined up
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: for you all. You had to go to Mike recently
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: you could go boom boom boom, boom boom and watch
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: them all. Didn't see a single one.
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: Why because I don't have any interest in it. The
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: got to explain that.
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: The sucking up though from the big the big j's
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: that like, you know, they're all retweeting it and sharing.
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: Oh here comes the chargers. What did they say? It's
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: like the whole thing.
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: The charges annoyed me, not because of what they did,
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: because again I didn't see it, but evidently people had
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: to write explanations of it. Well, yeah, sorry, you're not
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: doing it right. And you have it, don't used to
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: have someone decided to settle.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: You have to watch it twenty times.
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: Well, they have these little subtle Yeah, it's a burn
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: book situation and they have these little subtle.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: But people a good burn you should get it.
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: Well, but they're trying to be they're on a higher level.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Right, I think. I think your lack of interest in
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: these things is actually resentment to what's become of probabism,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: and so in all the social media, it's more that's
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: deep stuff, lack of interest, not that you just you
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: just don't like what's going on in the world.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: Did you not play Halo as a kid?
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: What evan?
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: Did you not play Halo?
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, a bunch.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: But does anyone play Halo anymore? No?
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, they do Destiny now? Oh what is it called Destiny?
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Destiny? Oh yeah, I still Microsoft.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: Sony owns it now bungeee Okay, I think Sony just
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: purchased them last year.
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: That was the problem that I had with Halo.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: I love that video. The Halo video is really cool
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: to me. That's my era of stuff.
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: You know, It's it's cool, it's it's well done. It's
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: just they do the same thing every single time.
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: I'm not here to criticize any of these. I'd be
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: a fraud if I was criticized, even criticized I didn't see.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I'm not even criticizing it. I'm just saying, like,
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: I'm not here criticizing it new One's video. I just
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: it's kind of deep read that you're going like this
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: whole like resentment for what the.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: World doesn't come like does. I don't think it has
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: anything to do with it.
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: I just know the schedule already and I don't necessarily
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: need to watch these elaborate productions.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: Watch them to find out the schedule. You watch it
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: and see if they're good or not.
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: And I guess I've watched enough of them to know
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: that they're not overly entertaining. So why am I going
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: to watch all of them to find out what? Like
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: the two of them that you guys are talking about,
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: you know what, I really liked the Jets like, so
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: I'll save the time and not watch the other thirty
• 54:32
  Speaker 7: that are kind of boring.
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: Well, opinion, I just wait for somebody to tell me
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: which ones the good ones are, and I watch like
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: the two or three ones that had a consensus. That's
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: probably a better way to do it, you probably, but
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: Fred goes through all of them because he has he
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: has to get that. That's you know, I don't have to,
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: Actually you kind of.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Like you do, you should be in the know.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: I just think it's respect, you know, like you put
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: yours out you expect other teams to wor you know,
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: I just had a courtesy.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: I want to see what the other teams are doing.
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: I think that they're you know, it's like if you
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: read or listen to you know, I read other people
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: that I respect their work, and I listen to podcasts,
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: and you know, you've got to be up on what
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: everyone else is doing.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is part of the job.
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: Yea, like Greece, I read his Sunday Notes every week
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: every way respect and like what Mike Greese does.
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: Every Sunday morning in bed. I read Mike Greese's nuts.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: But you speaking just go to Mike Grease got them
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: all lined up for you ball. You can just watch it.
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: You don't have to do that fall. This is the
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: one time that it might be topical.
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: Okay, back to the that I need to rearrange.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: You just don't like them. I don't. I thought I
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: made that. You are, I don't.
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: You have a lot of I don't think the schedule
• 55:54
  Speaker 7: videos are worth the squeeze.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: You have a lot of resentment in your heart for
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: what's going on here. Rodrigo writes in about the Patriots schedule.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Floor to me is ten games. Okay, I hope You're right,
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: they will make the playoffs. And what's Buffalo without McDermott, Right,
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: you'll lose a lot of the flavor there. Ceiling is
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: twelve to thirteen wins and winning the division top two
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: seed with current AFC landscape, Bill's new head coach, Raven's
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: new head coach. Although he's a good one, Chiefs have
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: major questions. Denver is bo going to be one hundred
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: percent after the injury. Texans may be a dark horse
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: due to the defense. Wonder how Stroud does with his
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: new haircut.
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: So Buffalo is going to take a hit without McDermott,
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: who Patriots fansers spent the last half dozen years completely destroying, Right,
• 56:47
  Speaker 7: This is what I mean about. Tell me if it's
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: a good win or not before the win, because you
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: guys moved the goalpost constantly.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: Got Josh Allen Paul's a good win. I agree even
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: with McDermott, But.
• 56:58
  Speaker 7: We're talking about McDermott was a how you lost? He
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: was he was negative on the team because he's because
• 57:04
  Speaker 7: he sucked.
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: Value lost Again.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: I never said I'm not you never said.
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: Patriots fans have consistently written into this show and called
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: him to the show to tell me how Bill Belichick
• 57:17
  Speaker 7: is going to destroy Sean McDermott. How many times do
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: we hear that until McDermott beat him forty seven to seventeen.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: They certainly said that after that win game that that
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: was it for him.
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: Correct, Yeah, he sucked, he was overmatched. Now he's gone. Yeah,
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: Buffalo can't replace that. I mean they did have that
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: both ways, either either get.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: A new coach bump or a new coach set. Well,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: they hadn't and we'll find out.
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: I think they had a floor with McDermott that was
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: very high, like they weren't gonna we don't know.
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: What Joe Brady is. To Evan's point, I agree with
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: Evan on this that this is a big.
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: Swing for them, Like it's either gonna make it's gonna
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: elevate them and push them to that next level, or
• 57:58
  Speaker 6: they're going to backslide, like there's no between. Hey, McDermott,
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: you knew you were gonna be a perennial.
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: Playoff team, Josh Allen, they were.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Kind of a mess.
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and they still found a way to win whatever
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: it was twelve games.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not McDermott, it's Josh Allen. Well, it is
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: be clear.
• 58:16
  Speaker 6: It's Josh Allen.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Now, if it was Brady instead of Belichick, it's Josh
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Allen instead. At mcdermomy it's Joh I would totally agree
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 58:22
  Speaker 6: But it's Josh Allen now. Like in twenty twenty, twenty
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: twenty one, when Josh Allen was still ascending, they were
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: a playoff team.
• 58:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say before Josh Allen got the McDermott,
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: to Evan's point, was a playoff coach with Tyrod Taylor.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: All right, so he's a good coach.
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: But if you're asking me, is it McDermott or Josh Allen,
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: I'll take Allen every day of the week.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: All Right, We're gonna take a break. One person wants
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: to get a deuce update. I know it was a
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: colon oscarby, but I thought he'd be back by now.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: It's got nothing to do, he's got some things he's
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: taken care of. But he'll be back with Thursday probably hope.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so Douce will be back. All right, take
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: a break, gotta eat, be right back after this.

• 1:01:16
  Speaker 11: Obviously, I haven't been in this building, but being around
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: coaches that I'm very familiar with. It's been very fun
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 11: getting to know a lot of my new teammates. A
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 11: couple of teams I've played with a lot of new faces,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 11: really talented teams. So I'm excited to obviously get to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 11: the real OTAs and practices and things.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Like that so we can really start to jail together
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: as a team. It's a ben dame to know Craik Woodson.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 11: I think he's a very talented player, you know, just
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 11: watching the film saying some things that he's he's did
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 11: like that he did last year, trying to build upon that.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 11: You know, hopefully we can get us turnoffs this year.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 11: But outside of that, man, he's he's a very smart
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 11: uh he's a mature guy too as well. I know
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 11: he's only in the second year. He seems very mature
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 11: how he goes about his business. So I'm excited to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 11: be able to play with.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Him this year.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 11: Zach Zach was one of the guys that was kind
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 11: of I think he started out as like an assistant
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 11: caller control something like that, and it's just very cool
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 11: to see him kind of move with the ranks to
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: be running the defense.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Scott Booker.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 11: He was an assistant when he first came to Tennessee
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 11: and he rolls up to be a secondary coach. So
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 11: it's very cool from seeing these guys in Tennessee now
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 11: here they're kind of running their own rooms, running their group. So, uh,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 11: you know, it's just a testament to those guys put
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 11: into work and very trusting them to be able to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: move up and kind of have their time to be
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 11: able to run their rooms and call the defense and
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 11: things like that.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: What have your impressions been of Mike being back in
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 7: the building with him and being around.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 11: Him, same old guy, honestly, same guy that I you
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 11: know that I recognized from being back in Tennessee. A
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: guy that's full of energy, coaching the entire team, running
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: back and forth from offense, defense, special teams.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't see a difference whatsoever.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 12: Is his like hands on coaching kind of the same
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 12: as it was in Tessee. I they've grown since he
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 12: works with him, like college thought.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 11: I mean, I wouldn't say that it's grown. I think
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 11: he's just very consistent with his coaching style. Even today
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 11: they're doing like some special teams punt drills, he's you know,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 11: he's the loudest voice on the field, you know what
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 11: I mean, just coaching the guys, making sure guy's technique
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 11: is good, but at the same time still praising them
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 11: when they do very well. It's not like he's just
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 11: you know, MF and guys or nothing like that. And
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 11: then obviously as we get into our competition stuff at
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: the end, pushing sleds, he's out there friend center, yelling
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 11: and things like that. So no, it's definitely the same
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 11: guy that I recognized as Tennessee.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 13: Kevin, what'd you make the decision to come to New
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 13: England originally? And having made that decision, tell me are
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 13: you are you glad to be here?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: No, I'm very excited to be here. You know.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 11: Obviously, when things didn't work out going back to Chicago,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 11: you know, obviously New England was always going to be.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 11: I was kind of like a dream scenario, you know
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 11: what I mean, because obviously, as you get a little
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 11: bit older in this league, you want to be able
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 11: to play for teams that are contenders, but also you
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 11: want to be in the bills with familiar faces. So
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 11: you know, Raves, you know, we had kind of had
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 11: a common station once Rage he started, and I was
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 11: very happy he was able to get a deal down.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: I was able to come back and play for him.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 6: You were teammates with AJ Brown and Tennessee, and there's
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 6: a lot of buzz about him potentially.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Getting traded here.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 6: Is that something like the two of you talked about,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: like how would you feel about the United.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: No, Honestly, I try to stay out of that part
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 11: of the business because when you talk about, you know,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: contracts or players moving teams and things like that, you
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 11: I want to be as hands off as possible. We
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 11: trained together in Tennessee, so it's not like I haven't Hey, AJ,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 11: was you know what I mean? So, but no, we
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: honestly haven't talked about it directly, and I'm don't know
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 11: what's the situation there. I hope it can work out.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: Hope he can come here and play for us, but
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 11: that remains to be seen. I'm just trying to get
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: to know the guys that we have here, from Rome
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 11: to Pop and all these other guys that we have here.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 11: So but if we're able to get Aj obviously he's
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: incredible talent, somebody I play with. He's a true number
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 11: one receiver in his league, So that'll be awesome to
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 11: parable him again.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: What was it like to practice against him when you
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: were in Tennessee. He's unstoppable.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 11: I mean this is obviously AJ is very talented still,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 11: but then you know, this is young AJ. A lot
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 11: to prove couldn't be covered in one on ones. I remember,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 11: I think his rookie year, you know, when AJ first
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 11: came out. I think he might have had like a
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 11: hammy or something like that, and he was getting himself
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 11: back into shape and things like that. But I remember
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 11: the first game that he really popped out was against
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 11: the Falcons and Atlanti scored two touchdowns and I recaught
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: like a slant and took it to the house.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: And at that point I was like, Yeah, he's going
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: to be a dog, He's going to be a really
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: good player. And he basically just took off.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 14: How to number one receivers from your perspective, change the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 14: way you play defense, Like what sort of impact of
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 14: the half?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 11: I mean, I definitely dictates coverage, you know, and any
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 11: any time you're playing against team your game planning, a
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 11: number one receiver dictates coverage, you know, right if it's
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 11: you know, him being in Philly, Uh, when your game
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 11: planning against those guys, you still have to make sure
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 11: you have the safety over top of AJ, which obviously
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 11: opens up things for a lot of other players. So
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 11: just imagine the red of his Age or any guy
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 11: obviously just Chicago, justin Jefferson. You know you're not gonna
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 11: every coverage and every place starts with knowing where eighteen
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 11: is and then make sure you almost got somebody right
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 11: there in front of his face and somebody over the top.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 11: So that obviously opens up things, and you may see
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 11: a guy's stats may not be as.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Great as this it was early in his career.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 11: But you know, dictating that coverage is a big thing
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 11: with receiver ones because, like you said, if you have
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: a really good receiver two or receiver.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Three, now you can win a lot of one on one.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 11: So having a guy like him or any other receiver
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 11: one in this league, dictating that coverage is big for
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 11: how an offense and the defense's game plans.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: You had a good rush for Mike Age, you had
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: a good relationship with Mike. What is it about him
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: that you know relates to players such as yourself.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 11: Well, I think for one, especially if you're a young
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 11: player in this league and you coming to this organization.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: A guy like Mike Veribel, who's number one.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 11: Who's played in his league for a long time, has
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 11: success Pro Bowls, all pros, won Super Bowls. So when
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 11: a guy gets in front of the room, he commands
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 11: the room and command attention. He's coaching this technique or
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 11: telling you effort and finished and all the things he
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 11: talks about. It's very easy to buy in because he's
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 11: done it at a high level.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 11: I think for any of us players, you want to
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 11: be coached by somebody that's going to connect with you
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 11: as well on a personal level, because I think that's what.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Coaching is about.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 11: When you are trying to connect with people on that
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 11: personal level. People want to know that you actually care
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 11: about them. You want to get to know them. It's
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: not just hey, how you're doing. You see somebody in
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 11: the hallways like he's actually want to hey, how you doing,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 11: how's your family? This and that and that, And I
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 11: think it makes it very easy if you don't want
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 11: to be able to play for a guy like that,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 11: And I think that's one thing that might does well.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: Kevin related to Mike's question about a number one wide
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: receiver Alla Kate Drake, a tight end who can come
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: in and move tight end like last from Chicago.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: What does that do? How does that impact team defensively?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: It's huge because I think you know, the way you're
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: seeing the league now, you're starting to see a lot
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 11: more bigger tight end sets, twelve personnel, two tight ends
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 11: or three tight ends out there because it creates mismatches,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 11: you know what I mean, Like there's not a lot
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 11: of linebackers that can cover tight ends. You know, in
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 11: some tight ends nowadays, it's hard for safety to cover them.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 11: So you know, you have your traditional inline blocking tight
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 11: end they can catch a little bit. But then you're
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 11: starting to have these other tight ends coming to the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 11: league that they're basically slot receivers, right if it's Coast
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 11: and Loveland. Last year, I think the Browns had a
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 11: really good tight end fan in last year who caught
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 11: a bunch of passes in college. I think that's the
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 11: biggest difference you're seeing that now. A lot of teams
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 11: want to have two really good tight ends. If you
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 11: can have both of them blocked, that'd be great, But
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 11: sometimes you have the blocker and then you have the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 11: receiving one. So that just creates Mitch matches because now
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 11: you know, we all know this league is a one
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 11: on one league, you know what I mean. You got
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 11: a lot of good corners, a lot of good DB's,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 11: a lot of good receivers. But when you add an
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 11: element of really good tight ends in the slot, now
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 11: you can put them anywhere, you know what I mean.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 11: So it just creates Mitch matches. And I think that's
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 11: what these offensive coordinators are trying to do. Just find
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 11: a way to create Mitch matches and you know, get
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 11: favorable one on ones to their advantage.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: What do you see for May? Of course, I mean
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: he's a he's a obviously he's a talented player.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 11: But I just think the work ethic that you see
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 11: him leading from the front, I think that's very impressive
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 11: for a young guy to do and have the confidence
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 11: to do that as well. I'm excited to, you know,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 11: go along this journey with him as well. And obviously
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 11: you know he's obviously he's going through his third year,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 11: but to see as he continued to progress as a
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 11: player in this league, I mean, he was already a
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 11: MVP runner up, so I expect him to just keep
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 11: growing and getting better.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 12: We talk about tight ends. How important is that as
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 12: a safety room to have someone like Hunter Henry on
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 12: that other side of the ball, to say, Brian Julian Hill,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 12: you know, how important is it to have guys like
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 12: that to go up against in process?
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 11: Now it's gonna be huge. Me and Hunter was actually
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 11: the same draft class. I think he was the second
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 11: I was third round, so it's number one. It's pretty
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 11: cool to see him still playing at a high level.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 11: But yeah, I know it's important to be able to
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 11: get those rests with each other, but at the same time,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 11: just picking each other's brains. Just try to see how
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 11: he sees the games from his side of you know,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 11: his point of view, and the same thing for me.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: I try to give him tips whenever I can.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 15: Uh.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 11: But like I said, he's always been a really good,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 11: talented tight end, a guy who has really grey hands.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Can work the middle of the field.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 11: But I'm also excited to see the young rookie as well,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 11: see how they use him as well. So, like I said,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 11: every I think every teen wants to have as many
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 11: talented tight ends as possible.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: And now great moments in.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: History.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 16: All right, So this is Jay in Minnesota, he's got
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 16: a would you rather a tough one? A Tuesday show
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 16: and hearing all the garbage would you rather questions?
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I have one for you. Would you rather to give
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: up kissing for the rest of your life? Or give
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: up sauces? Kissing are saucy? Now that's good? What are
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: the merried guys in their vis kisses? There?
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 15: Bro, I love you, but I love love me some sauces,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 15: the suit and sour, buffalo barbecue, honey mustard.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: You guys, are you can't? You can't up on kissing?
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: Just yeah?
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: I played the fifth. There's no good answer for me
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: there because she she cooks it and partakes in both things.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: So it's like, which one.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: Do I say her insult her cooking our hands?
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: The other? The fifth buffalo sauces good stuff.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 17: That's another great moment from.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: All right Backhan on Patriots Unfiltered, eighty five five Pats
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: five hundred is the hotline podcast at Patriots dot com.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Is the email address. I don't know, no one's calling.
• 1:11:29

• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Eight five five Pats five hundred, you get a T shirt?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: I don't like that that last question in the brain,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: I don't. I don't care for those types of questions.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: Why is that? It's the weird question? Does it make
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: you uncomfortable? Okay, it is a weird question. It's supposed
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: to make you uncomfortable.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: I don't want to be uncomfortable.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I'll give up kissing as long as I have to
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: give up what comes afterwards. That made me uncomfortable, me uncomfortable,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: and almost never keep the sauce in the sex. I
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: just don't have to kiss.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: That's fine, we got it.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Save that one renee between.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: The lines of you know, football show.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Uh, Darius and Louisville. I
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: just want to say I would love another show like
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: last week where everybody was cussing. Were we swearing a lot?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: I know I said the S word, it's slipped out.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: I might have cursed once.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: It was one of those.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: Totally needless S word uses. Paul, Oh, yeah, it was great.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: It was like a peek into your conversations off camera.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: I would love to be on a fly on the
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: wall when you're arguing off camera.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: It's it's a lot the same. You're not missing much.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: Just more vulgar.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: Maybe yeah, I have I have a potty mouth. That
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 7: is true, and I try not to have a potty
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 7: mouth on air.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: Yea Quig writes in about Forge and Foxborough. Love the
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: latest episode.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: The scouting interviews, draft segments were excellent. I would enjoy
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: seeing even more behind the scenes information. Would you consider
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: doing a mid season episode to recap the first half
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: of the season. Well, thanks for watching the stay tuned,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned, stay tuned this season. Are there any remaining
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: free agents that you might want to take a peek at? Evan?
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: Some of those linebackers we talked about the last couple
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: of weeks. You know, does Matt Milano have anything left?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: Does Bobby Wagner have anything left?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 6: That was the one other than obiz Or you know,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 6: they brought in Cleil Jacobs as a UDFA. They might
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: have missed the boat a little bit on that position
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 6: in the draft. I don't know if you're counting much
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: on a sixth round pick, but you know, that's that's
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: the one spot I would look at. I really enjoyed
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: this episode of Forge, and I'm not just saying that
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: because my voice was in it. Uh. This even time
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: of year is what things like Forged, I think personally
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: are made for like the in season stuff. We see
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: a lot of the end season stuff just watch the games,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: like you know, like a lot of it's right there
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 6: this episode. The scouting, the scouting meetings, the draft room footage,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 6: Like I could watch that type of stuff all day long.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: But that that stuff's awesome.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 7: You get a good peak, you know, Senior Bowl, combine, draft,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 7: good stuff, good offseason recap, free agency. I thought some
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 7: of the footage we had of the free agents coming
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 7: and their interaction with Rabel with May a little bit
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 7: good stuff.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 6: I thought the best parts are just you know them
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 6: in the scouting meetings just talking about players, Like I
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: could listen to the whole that for three hours, like
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: just you know, we're on tight ends. We're just here's
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: this player, Here's the next player, is the next player.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: I just think that that stuff is great TV.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: Robin Willemantic, Connecticut, enjoyed the new episode of Ford's the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: best part of seeing some of the behind the scenes
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: conversations with the coaches scouts, even though you don't always
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: know who they're talking about, but it's still really interesting
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: hearing their analysis of the players. This might be a
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: stupid question, Fred, but I saw you listed as an
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: executive producer. What exactly does that mean in the context
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: of the show. In other words, what's your role in
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: getting the show to air for us to watch? Nothing
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: means nothing. Everybody else does the work. I just look
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: at it seriously. I mean, we have planning. You're headed
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: the project.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: No, No, I certainly did. You were the VP of
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: content like in a show. Absolutely, But there's a lot
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: of other people doing all the work. And Nick McCain,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: you know, we talk about my show down and what's
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: going to be in it and things like that.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people behind the scenes making that
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: clock tick. All right, so asking I shall receive the
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: phones are lit up.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Now, I figured there had to be something going on people.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: It wasn't listeners are ready. It wasn't a technical issue.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: It's stacked, all right.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: The first caller who wins a T shirt? But let's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: send everyone a T shirt, Matt. Everyone, these four callers,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: the first you get a car. These first four we got.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: If you're on old email your address.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tim in New Hampshire, Mona in Pennsylvania, Mark in Venice, Florida,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: and Johnny in Atlanta.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: Uh you four people? Uh email Matt or web radio
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: your address. But let's go to Tim in New Hampshire first.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: What's up Tim?
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 14: Hey, gentlemen, Hey, thank you for thank you for the
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 14: content keeping us thinking about Patriots all summer. I'm interested
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 14: about you know, you guys have been talking all morning
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 14: about the schedule and what what. What I'm curious about
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 14: is half when we when we go to Germany, we
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 14: were coming back and then we get to buy God,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 14: I'm just some.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: What happens there?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 9: What?
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 14: How do you guys, how do do the Patriots they
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 14: fly on their private jet fly out to Germany. Do
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 14: you guys actually get to go to Germany as well?
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so if everything works the way it did, usually
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: when you go to overseas, we've taken a bigger plane,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: you know, like whether it's Virginaires or you know, Delta
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: or whatever. Yeah, we take a larger consa plane and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: we go over there, and yes, we travel, you know,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: we'll be over there. It's just like any other game.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 15: Uh.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: And for this one, we might do a little extra
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: content because Germany is our home market in Europe, so
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: we'll be producing a lot of content while we're over there.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: But otherwise, it's just like any other game.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 14: Oh fantastic. Yeah, that really was my only question today.
• 1:17:50

• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: was about the Fortune in Foxborough. Great great video. It's
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 9: it's what I call Patriots Born.

  Speaker 6: I listened.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 9: I'm with heaven though. I love that that background about
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 9: the scouting and all the work that they do, and
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 9: that was that was a great insight.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good stuff. Well, thanks for watching.

  Speaker 2: Hey Johnny, Hey, guys, how you doing good?
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 18: I'm not here from uh PAULI welcome back to the state.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 18: So Legg you ma it back stains and.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 9: Sir sir, Yeah, welcome Freddie.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 18: You may remember me as well. This is Johnny Evan.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 18: I haven't talked to you before, but I love that
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 18: you are a new addition to the show. If they
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 18: could do a great job. I used to sending beats.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: To the show.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 18: They used to play some of my music during the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 18: intro of the post gaming show and the pregame show.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 18: So nice to meet you.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: Watch Forge.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 18: I watched Forged twice. I had to watch it a
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 18: second time just to make sure I did this anything.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 18: I let all my all my Patriots fans know down
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 18: here in Georgia that that's on there and that they
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 18: should check it out. My take from it was I
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 18: really enjoyed Caleb low Move's reaction and Gabe Gacus's reaction
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 18: into getting that call. I showed my wife and I said,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 18: this is why I love football, because they both got
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 18: so emotional. U Yakus's Mother's screaming, thank you Jesus, you
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 18: know what I mean. It was just awesome. And then
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 18: one more comment that I think it's overshadowed because you
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 18: guys are up there and I'm in Atlanta've been down
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 18: here over ten years.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 9: What we need to.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 18: Realize, folks, is people outside of the region. And I
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 18: say this to say because I heard Kevin Bayer speak
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 18: during The Ford Show. He said something to the fact
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 18: that you know Rabel's he knows Rabel He's gonna get
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 18: the guys all ganged up and say, hey, you know,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 18: don't remember, don't worry about it about last year. This
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 18: is the new year.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 18: And he said some to the efect of yeah, you know,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 18: we're going to get everyone's best shot. Boston sports teams
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 18: get everybody's best shots all the time. That's what makes
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 18: it so hurtful when we lose, but it's so passionate.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 18: But being outside of the market, we hate it. I
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 18: went to the Red Sox game on Sunday, UH to
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 18: see the Braves. Took my sons for the first time.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 18: Socks fans everywhere they can't stand us. So maybe that's
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 18: why we need to let these new players know where
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 18: they free agent signings, know that, no, we get everybody's
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 18: best all the time, because that's just what we are
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 18: with the city.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: Of Champel We're in a place where people care.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 18: Yes, so that was just my thought, you know, like
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 18: they need to let these new players know that, look,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 18: we get everybody's best shot all the time.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: So all right, thanks Johnny, appreciate it. How about Mona
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania? What's up, Mona?
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 19: Hi, this is the first time I've gotten through, so
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 19: exciting for me. I'm a bit nervous about calling in,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 19: but mostly I was just calling because I just so
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 19: so loved last year's team, the way they came together,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 19: young team, new coaches, and just like, oh they built
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 19: on that. I'm just super excited about this coming year.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 19: And one thing I've been doing is kind of like
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 19: re listening to the old shows when this podcast when
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 19: you guys aren't on live, and kind of like revisiting
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 19: some of the old moment. The one thing I did
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 19: want to comment on was the draft shows from last year.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 19: I think Evan was about to but when Harry met
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 19: Sally restaurant moment, when Travon Henderson and Kyle Williams got picked.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean, yeah, were those guys that you targeted?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: I yeah, I liked both of them. I remember with
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 6: Travon Henderson, I thought it was a little high for
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: them to take a running back, and when I was
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 6: making we were making our big boards, me and Duce
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: just said to each other like he's too good, Like
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 6: we got to keep him on because he's just too
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: good of a player. We like him too much. And
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: it was cool when they got him. And then Kyle Williams,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: we were down at the Senior Bowl and that's when
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: he got my radar. I was at the Senior Bowl,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: and I guess they he enforged. Actually they showed them
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: talking about him looking good down at the Senior Bowl too,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 6: So just kind of like one of those. That was
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: cool that I was on the same page with them
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: on those because I don't think running back as early
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: as they took him was really expected with Rimandre and
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: Tonio Gibson still here. But he was just too talented,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: I think to pass up.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm, you know, welcome a board. Yeah, thanks for
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: finally getting through.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 19: Yeah, And one other thing I'll say about Patriots stans.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 19: I agree with previous caller, and I live in Pennsylvania.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 19: When surrounded by Eagles stands, and they are the worst.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Yep, no doubt, Yep, They're a different breed for sure. Yeah.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks Mona appreciate that. Let's go to Jacob
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: in Nashville. We're getting a lot of first time callings.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: That's up, Jacob.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 18: This is my second time calling. But I am down
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 18: with the stomach bug. Thanks to my toddler. I love
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 18: the show. You guys are helping me get through. I
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 18: had just a real off season thing.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 17: So I watched two movies, The Phoenician Scheme and the
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 17: last New Star Wars movie, and they both have quick
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 17: stand in them.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 14: What really deal?
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 18: What is Hollywood trying to tell us?
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: They're trying to tell us that they listen to pu
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: is what they're trying to tell us?
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 9: That was it?
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: Honestly?
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 18: All right, thanks for helping me get through this job.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Jacob. Is Grogu out yet? Mandalorian and Grogul
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: two more weeks?
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: Twenty second?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: The twenty second Okay, I was wondering what he I
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: should have asked him what he meant by.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: The New Star Wars?
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah? That was vague.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think he meant Rise of Skywalker.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 6: Oh that was a while yo.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah the l yeah yeah yeah. Are you going to
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: see Mandalorian and Grogul? Yeah?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: And I'm gonna take my son to. I'm very excited
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: about that. It's the first Star Wars movie we can
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: enjoy together in theaters.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: See, yeah, that was great. Here's somebody who's emailed before
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: and written in shutters is in Manchester, A.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 20: Hey, guys, how are you doing good? I don't know
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 20: any list. So it's the Batsmber went up and but
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 20: this is a strange offseason question for you. It feels
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 20: like with the number of international games now and multiple
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 20: games in those locations in the countries, it feels like
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 20: we're getting closer and closer to that seventeenth game. Every
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 20: team is going to play one of the international games.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 20: Maybe we'll get there, but it feels like it's going
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 20: in that direction the question I've got. Then, it's also
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 20: anticipated that in the not too distant future will rise
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 20: up to eighteen games. So that would again if you
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 20: had one international game and then obviously an odd number
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 20: of either home or away games. Is there another alternative
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 20: for eighteenth game to try and balance up the sort
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 20: of impartiality and as aligning the side of the pond.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 20: Maybe you can correct me if this is a crazy idea,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 20: But what if it was touring sort of college schools
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 20: and using those grounds, those those stadiums for the eighteenth
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 20: game for an maybe in cities where there isn't NFL teams,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 20: I'm trying to tap into those markets.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: You say college.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like so like I'm playing at the big House
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: and things like that.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not a bad idea, you know,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: the ticket sort of like taking it on the road
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: like NHL does.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: With the stadium series.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 6: I think the concern that I said I would have
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 6: and I was reading something the other day about this,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 6: So you used to be able to protect a certain
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 6: amount of home games, like actual home games. You know,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: let's say the Patriots, I don't want to lose, you know,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: the Bills game lose, the Broncos lose, you know, these
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: big marquee games. But they actually have dwindled that numbers
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 6: nificantly to like one or two protections per team, and
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 6: they want it to be zero. So I think the
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: biggest problem with all of this is like if you
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 6: start having international games stadium series games, you're losing like
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: these big marquee matchups that were supposed to be home games,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 6: And how does that affect the ball.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 7: For the home I agree, Yeah, there's there's just there
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 7: are not enough games. There's not enough inventory that it's
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 7: okay that you take home games away. And that's one
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: of the problems that I have with the International Games.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: And I understand why they do it, yeah, you know,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: and the league is probably doing the right thing to
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 7: grow the game internationally. I understand that, and I understand
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 7: it's about revenue and growing the game and all that stuff.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: But there is a part of me that I don't
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 7: like the fact that teams lose games, teams lose home games,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: To play internationally.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 7: I don't love the fact that, you know, I don't know,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: a half dozen times you get a nine to thirty
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 7: am game like the Patriots are going to play this year.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 7: There was a lot of talk about this last week
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: Freddy on my shows, just sort of the oversaturation. You know,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 7: we're looking at like Thanksgiving in particular. This year, there's
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: gonna be games Wednesday, three on Thursday, a game on Friday,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 7: and then whatever many games on on Sunday, Sunday night,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 7: and then Monday. Like there's gonna be like ten windows
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 7: of games in that one week now for one off.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 7: You know, if you're can tell me that that's a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 7: one time just Thanksgiving. I suppose I could say, okay,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 7: that that that makes some sense.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: You know, what's you know where it's going.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: You know, they're going to start playing games on Wednesdays regularly,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 7: and on Fridays regularly, and and and it's just going
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: to continue to build and build and build. I just
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: wonder if the thing that I appreciate the most about
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: the NFL is the fact that.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: You can watch the whole league.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 7: You can really watch and get almost as much enjoyment.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying as much, but almost as much enjoyment
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 7: of watching, you know, Detroit play Kansas City as you
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 7: do watching the Patriots play the Jets. You know, it's
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: not the same. Your team is your team. But you
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 7: don't do that in any other sport because there's so
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 7: many games. So you can have a stadium series in
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: the NHL because you have eighty two games and there's
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: forty one home games, So what if you lose a
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 7: home game? So what you know, there's still forty others.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: You know, baseball obviously, that's the part that I'd be
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 7: afraid of if I were Roger Goodell. I understand what
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 7: the almighty dollar means, and I'm not here to tell
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 7: you shouldn't try to grow as much revenue as you can,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 7: but i'd be careful that you're going to sort of
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 7: ruin what makes the NFL great.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 6: I think the two things that you know are along
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: those same lines. You don't want to lose Sunday as
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 6: the day.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: Sunday at one o'clock is becoming like the old person game.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: And I think the issue with that is is that
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: a good chunk of your audience is still red zoning.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 6: They're still fantasy football fans, they're still betting people. But
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: most importantly the red zone element and all that type
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 6: of stuff is probably the best thing that the league
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 6: has going for it is that it has that Sunday
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: where it's just from one o'clock to midnight you can
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: sit on your couch and watch football all day long.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: And if you start moving all these games around, and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: you start you're having games on Wednesdays, having games on
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: you know, Saturday, Sunday, Friday, Monday like that, you're gonna
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: lose that luster. Like you know, growing up before I started,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 6: you know, working and covering all these games, watching the
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 6: Patriots at one o'clock with my with my dad was
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 6: like it was like going to church, like it was,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: we were on the couch every single week. Now it's like,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: you know, you gotta you have all these different games
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: and primetime games and this and that. Now selfish, I
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 6: like the primetime games because I get to watch more
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 6: football because on Sundays the Patriots are playing. Then we're
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 6: focused on the Patriots. But I think that they don't
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 6: want you don't want to lose the ritual aspect of
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 6: it of Sunday at one we're all sitting down and
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 6: we're watching the page.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 7: Don't you feel like that that's kind of going away?
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, first of all, as pure attrician, it used
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 7: to be seven, eight, nine, one o'clock games on Sundays.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 7: They're all going to different times. Now there aren't there
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 7: aren't as many, there's not as much inventory of one
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 7: o'clock games.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: And now I think it's also.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: The new partners, the new corporate partners that are you know,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 7: the Amazons and Eat all the Beasts. They're paying so
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 7: much money, you know what. You know, you can't just
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 7: give me Jacksonville and Indy every Thursday night. You've got
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 7: to give me something. Yeah, So now they're getting better games.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 7: And in turn, you're getting stuck with the NFC South
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 7: game of the week at one o'clock on a Sunday, right,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 7: which used to be the lifeblood of the league. I mean, listen,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 7: I know I'm an old dinosaur, and no, I think
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 7: not going to be the way it was like, but
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: I just feel like the league is in danger of
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 7: losing what I think makes it really special.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: I can watch the whole league at once.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: You watch like, you know, you look at Scott Hansen
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: put up like what the splits are for Sundays now,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: and it's just like that schedule is just getting smaller
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: and smaller. And if you lose that, then that's that,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 6: to me, is at its core as the NFL is
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: that Sunday one o'clock four teen can watch.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 7: From I can watch from one to eight, even if
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 7: I don't watch the Sunday night game.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: If I watch from one.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 7: To eight, I've seen over two thirds of the league
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 7: that week.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: Now it's not even closer. I also just I don't
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: love and you know, when.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 6: It falls on a Thursday, it falls on a Saturday,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 6: falls on a Sunday. Okay, I can live with it,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: but like, did you really need to take over Christmas,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: Like did you really need to target Christmas?
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: Think that was the point of no return for me.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 7: It was the night game on Thanksgiving coupled with the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 7: Christmas games really.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 6: Kind of I'm a basketball like Christmas to me is
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 6: the NBA's day. Like they usually have five marquee games
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 6: on Christmas. This alltics play a lot on Christmas, Like
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: that's supposed to be. Like it's okay to let them
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 6: just like to have to not have to take over
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 6: that holiday, like this Wednesday night thing before Thanksgiving, Like
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: we're all sick. Oh, so we're all probably gonna watch
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: it and then we're the problem, right Like but like really,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: like is that necessary?
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: That's not you guys are the problem.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, will watch everyone Christmas Day. I'm gonna be on,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 7: but it'll be white noise in the background, Like no
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 7: one's going to actually be watching the game. It'll be on,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 7: but people are just going to be going about they
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 7: where its.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 6: Like I usually missed the Dallas game on Thanksgiving. I
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 6: usually watch the Lions game. I watched the night game
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 6: because we're a home at that point and whatever, But
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 6: usually the Dallas night game.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: Has to be a matchup that I'm really interested in.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just watch any of that.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the same with the Thursday nights. Like if
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 7: you give me the like the Rams and Seahawks on
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 7: the Thursday night, I might watch that game.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: I watched games.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: I think it's different though, I am.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 7: Watching the Falcons and the and the Panthers on Thursday night.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 6: I watch every single Thursday night game, but that's because
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 6: we're working on Sunday most of the time. So, like,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 6: the only times that I have to watch other games
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 6: are when are the prime time standalone games the Patriots
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 6: aren't playing in.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: Do you watch them all?
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, not all, not all of them when
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: I watch, but I what I turn on every one
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: of them. Yeah.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: Where I thought Shutters was going with the international games
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: was that maybe division.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: How long will it be before we have a Super
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: Bowl overseas?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: There's been talk of that and talk of it, you know,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 7: a European division of teams, which I don't thought the.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Patriots having an overseas game in the Roman Coliseum, that
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: would be great. How about that? Kind of tough to
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: play a games?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: Ready, it's not function.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: I know the seats aren't comfortable, but that's okay.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 6: I mean it's not you know, you can't refurbish it,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: and then yeah, you don't have to.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: We just dump a little money into it. We got
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: the coliseum and ready to go.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 6: I have to I think that one of the coolest
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: parts about this game is that we're playing where Byron plays,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: and like all these European soccer teams I was thinking,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 6: have these legendary stadiums like and not and like also
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 6: just hav insane technology within the stadiums, Like these stadiums,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 6: like real Madrid Stadium makes us our stadiums look like,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: you know, high school Like it's like Real Madrid has
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: like this like state of the art playing surface and
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 6: retractable roof and all this like crazy stuff. I imagine
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: Byron is is pretty cool.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's good. It's it's a great stadium. You've
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: been there, But there's better stadiums in the United States.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 6: Really, oh yeah, that surprised me because of how much
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 6: money this team just make.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: The world so very traveled.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: I know, uh yeah, so good stuff, good stuff. Thanks cheddar.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: Let's go to New York and we'll talk to Arthur.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 21: What's up our there, how's it going I'm just looking
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 21: at our depth chart right now, and I've noticed that
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 21: a lot of our edge rushers kind of have similar
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 21: characteristics and that they're not particularly speed rushers. They kind
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 21: of have you know, a mixed whether that's Harold Landry,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 21: you know, Draymond Jones obviously started as an interior guy
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 21: and then moved to the edge atus who we just
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 21: drafted as well. I was wondering because, you know, looking
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 21: at some of the other teams that have these great
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 21: edge combos, like the Steelers they have like the power
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 21: guy and TJ. Watt and then the speed guy in
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 21: Alice Highsmith, or the Cowboys they have like a you know,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 21: had a power guy in DeMarcus Lawrence and then a
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 21: speed guy in Micah Parsons. I'm wondering, if you think
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 21: some of our edge rushers are kind of, you know,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 21: not that complimentary. Should we have kept a guy like
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 21: Chase On who has that ability, you know, to to
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 21: really rush with speed on third downs or is that
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 21: just not what they're looking for and they're afraid of
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 21: getting abused in the run game or what your thoughts
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 21: are there?
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: I would do I think Carol Landers, the speed rusher
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know if Harold Landers at this age is
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: a speed rusher, but Arab Landry is not a power rusher.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: I would say he's the closest to that.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's more of a speed guy. But I think
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 7: his point, his larger point, I think is accurate. I
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 7: do think that they have similar kinds of pass rushers. Now,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: there was a thing today I saw Pro football talk, Uh,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 7: Genarious Robinson.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and kind of built like Chase On a little
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 6: bit more sort of more in that kind of a mold.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 7: Now, he's not really an established NFL player, he's a
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 7: former fourth round pick. I think it's been injured a
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 7: lot a special team but he I mean he's got
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 7: one the guy that.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: Brought in for the tryout.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well he's a he's a pass rusher
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 7: by trade, by trade, like that's what he is.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: He's a defensive end and he's a rusher.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 7: Now, he's been hurt a lot, so he doesn't think
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 7: he only has like two sacks career, But they brought
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 7: him in to give him a look to see. So
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 7: maybe they think, like the caller, they might need a
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 7: little bit more sort of juice off the edge in
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 7: terms of the death chart. Now, I don't know if
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 7: this guy would provide that. I'm just saying, well, they
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 7: talked about.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 6: It, you're looking for They talked about it before the draft,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 6: and I I you know, Elliot Wolf said that they
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 6: would like to get some speed to compliment their their room. Uh,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 6: you know, they look at Draymond Jones like the caller
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: is more of a power guy, more more of a
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: bull rusher, rugged player. But I think they just fell
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 6: in love with Akis just the character, the player, the guy,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 6: you know, and.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: I fall in love with that.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I just think his story is is you know,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 6: they he's just a patriot, you know, a very able
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 6: enforce in Foxborough said he's scouting report just reads like
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: a patriot. And I think that that trump, you know,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 6: getting a lighter, kind of faster guy. But to me,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 6: if he's healthy and he's the guy that he was
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 6: before his knee, you know, took a downward turn last year,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: that that is Landry.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: He's more of a speed guy.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: And I would say Elijah Ponders got a little bit
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: of juice too. So those two guys I think bring
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 6: a little bit. But to his point, there's no.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: It's hard to get like the guy that everyone's thinking about,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: like Michael Parsons.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that one's tough.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Chris with a T I A n is calling,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: And what's up, Christian? That's not Christmas Christian in l A.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: Oh sorry Christian, I an, I'm so sorry.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 18: You don't want to associate him with me?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: No way, he would agree, Yeah, even though even though
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 18: Like him, even though he talks to smack some time.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 18: And hello, Paul, how are you anyway?
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: Guys? I'm all right, how are you?
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 17: I'm doing okay today, Paul? So I looked at the schedule, right,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 17: and it feels so good, guys, to not see a
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 17: team that we can't beat, and to not see a
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 17: game that we shouldn't win or it used to be, well,
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 17: you know, we should probably lose that one. That's no
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 17: more with us, and it feels really good as a
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 17: Patriot fan to be back there again. So with that still,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 17: I have a would you rather?
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 13: Okay, The wider brother is this, would would.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 17: You rather win five championships in a row but nothing
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 17: for the for the next twenty years, or win one
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 17: championship every five years for the next twenty years.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: I'll take it up the air.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, not a bad one one every five years.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: When every five years for the next twenty years.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because then you're sustained successful, Like you're not going
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 6: to just win one every five years and then drop
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 6: off a cliff in between.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: So it's the same amount of championships either way.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know what if you win five in a
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: row like Immortal for Yeah, but that one year went
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: five in a row, and then the next twenty years
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: you're in the AFC Championship every year.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 6: Okay, well that's different.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: Well, or you just don't win out a super Bowl.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 6: That could happen, But like five in a row to
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 6: me is like that you you know, that was dynasty
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 6: that you had, and then most the dynasty you had,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 6: but most likely then they crash it. It's no one's
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 6: ever done it, and no one's ever come close to that.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: I understand. It makes you more. It's like the undefeated season.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: I like to I want to sustain and by the way,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: in that five maybe one of the seasons are undefeated.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: You're adding things.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 6: I think one of the like best arguments for mister
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 6: Kraft to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 6: is that they've had six same success through multiple coaches,
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 6: multiple quarterbacks now throughout his entire ownership. Like to me
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 6: that that's the hallmark of a great franchise is when
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 6: you were in it every single year, and if you're
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 6: winning one every five years over a twenty year period,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 6: that means for that twenty year period you were a
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 6: contender of the whole time.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 7: I'm yeah, I'm not turning down either one, but one
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 7: of them kind of happens. The other one has never
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 7: even come close to happening. Yeah, I think I would
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 7: take the immortality of five in a row, but you
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 7: know you're telling me I can't have that. I gotta
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 7: I gotta settle for five and twenty five.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: I'll take that. Christian in La not a bad one.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 6: Not a bad one.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: Although we're kind of curious why the whole pall because
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: of the way you last week, because you wade him down.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: He was mad because I didn't agree with him last week.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's see Dan and Virginia and Michigan. Right, said
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, it was the meeting of
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: life in UFOs. Today it's Fred and Paul arguing about
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: why Paul doesn't watch the schedule videos. These are the
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 3: latest indications that this is one of your best off seasons.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: Yet you readily hit your stride, and I don't think
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: there was any dip in the quality after the football
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: season ended.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Bravo, he says Fred. With the Bills having a sort
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: of new head coach, has Buffalo's window opened up a little?
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know it could have.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe, you know, you get that bump, You get that
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: bump a little bit. If he's good. If he's good, yeah,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: that's what said. Maybe if he's a clown, yeah, your
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: window is shut and locked. All I know is that
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: they wouldn't have done it unless Josh Allen bought it,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: because I think Josh Allen runs that team well.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 6: I think that's why they hired it internally or promoted internally,
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: because he likes Joe Brady and right rather than bring
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 6: in But I'll.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: Say that, I mean Josh. By the way, I like
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: the Bill's schedule these video too.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 7: He could be the biggest fraud ever, Josh Allen.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 6: I have no idea you mean Joe Brady. No, Josh,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 6: you think Josh Allen's a fraud? No, No, I'm just
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 6: saying he.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: Could be a fraud.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 7: I don't think he wanted McDermott fired. I don't think
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 7: you show that kind of emotion when the guy loses
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 7: his job, and there was something that in the behind channels,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 7: back channels you were lobbying.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe he was crying because he lost his excuse for
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: losing everything. Now, he absolutely wanted Joe Brady to get
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: the job. That I agree wholeheartedly.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 7: He was if not him, then him, he was yeah, okay,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 7: But I don't think he wanted McDermott to get fired.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe he did, It.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 6: Doesn't seem like that kind of guy. He doesn't seem
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 6: like a spiteful, you know, power hungry type of guy.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 6: I think the McDermott firing came from him and Brandon
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 6: Bean going sort of their separate ways. I think there
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 6: is friction between the two of them and why haven't
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 6: we gotten over the hump. McDermott blamed the roster, being
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 6: blamed the coaching.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 7: I agree that to me is not on Josh Allen,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 7: not like Josh Allen pulling the strings behind the scenes.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 7: I think it was more that rift and then the
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 7: owner coming in and seeing the way McDermott acted with
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 7: the call and the Denver game and.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 6: All that from the airplane to the media.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: He was unhinged.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 6: I have to think though, that he went like scort
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 6: shret like that because he knew he was getting fired,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 6: like I probably or maybe he thought that that I'm
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 6: probably gonna get fired, so maybe I'll try to save
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 6: my job by standing up.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: Showing how ridiculous it was that we lost this game.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 6: True.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: Dan also says you've discussed Florence's ceiling in terms of
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: number of games won and loss. How about the team's
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: ceiling in terms of accomplishment at the end of the year.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: What do you think is a realistic expectation in terms
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: of winning the division, making it the Division round, making
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: it to the AFC, or getting to the super Bowl.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, Forlorn's ceiling is the same FLOORA is
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 7: not making the playoffs. The ceiling is winning the super Bowl, Right.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 6: I think they could win the Super Bowl. I don't
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 6: think it's true they could.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: No, that's the ceiling. Absolutely. You just went to the
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: super Bowl.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 7: If you're as good as you were last year, and god,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 7: you know the natural progression of improvement, you can win.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: It this year.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 6: You could.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: Jeff says, I understand the world works on a budget,
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: and Forge and Foxboro was a big ticket item. I'm
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 3: sure because the schedule release video this year felt like
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: a teenage son coming home and saying, I have a
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: huge project.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: Doing two days. What should we do?
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming budget had a lot to do with it. No,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: not really, No, we just thought it would be a
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: fun thing to do. In fact, yeah, no, I had
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with budget.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: That said, I don't really care because I'm much more
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: into winning games in the regular season than one night
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: in May.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, well, yeah, we don't care. We don't care about
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 6: schedule videos.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: Socials.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 6: They always win in May, don't they.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: Here is my schedule prediction, because both US and Buffalo
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: have a brutal schedule all the same, except we get
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 3: Seattle Jacksonville Steelers. They get Rams, Texans and Ravens.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: The event is kind of what I was talking about
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: with how.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 7: Those are the three games that are different, And you
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 7: can make an argument that Buffalo's three games are tougher
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 7: than the Patriots three games except for.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: The Seattle one. That's a wash.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 7: They just played each other Settle at Rams like that's
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 7: a wash, and I think the other two I would
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 7: say tougher amosphere and because of the fans.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, the eventual AC Championship will be ten and
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: seven and at least one wildcard team from another division
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: will have a better record. So we're saying a down
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: year for the AFC, just like the AL and baseball.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: The AFC East oh saying okay, and baseball is the.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 6: Red Sox are like two games out of the playoffs,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: but they've been terrible.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: Because it's like seven teams between them and the players
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: I know, but.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 6: It's I mean, there are seven games below five hundred.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: They stink, They're terrible. They are terrible. Let's go back
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: to the phones. Let's see what do we got here.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: We Pat in Pennsylvania. What's up, Pat?
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 22: Yeah, hey guys. As a Patsman who does not live
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 22: in the New England region, I do try to make
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 22: my pilgrimage to Gillet at least once a year. Looking
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 22: at our home schedule, keep his tickets right now that
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 22: are for a decent opponent, so that doesn't count. The
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 22: Dolphins in the Jets is the Broncos game. I think
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 22: that's strictly due to the daytime. Aspect being to be determined,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 22: as well as it being like the New Year's Eve weekend.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 22: Should I pull the trigger on that or do you
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 22: guys see it differently? How would you guys rank our
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 22: current home games from most desirable to least desirable, taking
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 22: all things into account like opponent, time of year, time
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 22: of day, and et cetera.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, home games most desirable, least desirable? Well, Green Bay, Denver, Yeah, desirable.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 6: I think it depends, you know, if you really don't
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 6: want to be cold.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh, if you really don't want to.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 6: Be cold, the Denver games out if you if you're
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 6: worried about being cold that late in the year. The
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 6: Green Bay game feels like the perfect happy in.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: The middle there.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 7: I like the Green Bay one because it's not a
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 7: game that you get a lot. They only come to
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 7: Foxborough once every eight years, right, So that's why that
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 7: would be the one I would lean.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 6: Rady'll be in the booth. Fred could be right. Maybe
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 6: it's ground weekend as well, and you know that might
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 6: be a fun weekend.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 7: That's the one game that I've already had people reach
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 7: out to me for. It is the Green Bay game.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, game Yeah, Okay, it's a good one.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: Rodrigo has, responding to Paul, says, I've never given credit
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: or torn down McDermott. All I'm saying is there's no
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: guarantee of consistency with a new head coach. All I'm
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: saying is there's big concerns. It's not like they replaced
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 3: him with McCarthy or Tomlin. First time head coach, there's
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: a reason to question whether they'll be good or not.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 3: I have respect for McDermott. Maybe not the other Patriots fans,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 3: but I do.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 7: And this was not necessarily directed at new Rodrigo. It
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 7: was directed at the vast majority of the Wo'd say
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 7: analysis of Sean McDermott during his time as the Bill's
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 7: coach was not your shows.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: No, No, no, here on it. Where do you think
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: ra came from?
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 14: No?
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: You No, it came from Felger. He can't he made
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: that up?
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: Did he?
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: I always gave you credit.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 15: No.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: Once again, another thing I'm giving Fred credit for that
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: he had nothing to do with.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 2: I got that from Felger and I agree with it. No,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: I would say that largely our listeners have been.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 7: Pretty derogatory towards Sean McDermott, And I'm not telling you
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 7: he's a great coach. I don't think he's a great coach.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 7: I think he's okay. I think he's just okay. I
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 7: think that some of the late game things are overblown,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 7: like the whole thing in Kansas City.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: That year with thirteen seconds left.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 7: Like, if you want to get on Sean McDermott the
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 7: defensive coordinator for allowing those three completions the way.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 2: He did have at it.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 7: He gets killed for kicking off into the end zone,
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 7: and I don't really understand that. Like if they had
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 7: allowed to kick off return for a touchdown, the guy
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 7: would have been fired before he got to the locker room,
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 7: right yep, Like I'm sorry, you should be able to
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 7: prevent a team from going thirty five forty yards in
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 7: thirteen seconds. The defensive coordinator deserves criticism for that. And
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 7: if that's McDermott, because that's the side of the ball
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 7: that he is on, then that to me is fair.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 7: But he gets killed on my shows, on this show
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 7: in New England, he has consistently gotten killed. So I'm
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 7: not saying Rodrigo felt that way, but a lot of
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 7: Patriots fans think he wasn't a very good coach, and
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 7: now that he's gone somehow that's going to be a
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 7: big loss for Buffalo.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 6: I mean I looked at it. You know, he mentioned
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 6: Tomlin and McCarthy. I I kind I know those guys
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 6: won super Bowls, but they won super Bowls with handmade
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 6: teams to like Tomlin inherited the team that he won
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 6: a Super Bowl with and McCarthy had Aaron Rodgers like
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 6: you know, so I I look at that as kind
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 6: of similar as these like they're kind of floor coaches
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 6: to me, like their teams are never gonna stink. But
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know if those are guys that are elevating
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 6: their teams to making them great.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: German is very similar to that. Yeah, I think they're
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: all going to bottom out and go three and fourteen,
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: but I don't know if you're going to get where
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: you want to go. What's he doing now? Did he
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: get a job now?
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: He's gap bearing?
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not like hooking up with a team
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: cracking like a Rabel thing.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 6: I don't think so. I think he might be doing
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 6: meati maybe Yeah. I don't know exactly what his plans are,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 6: but I haven't seen him pop up that ass radio baby.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: Like in all seriousness, this blows me away. I always know.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: I think he came up with that thirty third team.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: Pretty sure he was the one. I just thought.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 6: I just know it was after that.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: But you used to call him Papa Smurf too, didn't you. No,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: never that, those words have never left my bat. It's
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 2: definitely a felgerism. Yeah, okay, No, it.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: Was after the win game. I think Felger or No,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 3: it might have been Tony. Tony might have done it.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: It was one of the two.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: It's probably Jim Murray because he's the one who comes
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: up with the clever red ass and I thought, oh,
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: that's perfect, Like that's perfect, like Roaman Garoppolo.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think Papa Smurf's a little bit cruel
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 6: for for us. You know, I don't think we know.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: We can't do that.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 6: I don't think we normally do that.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: But what is that? What miss kind of looks like
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: Papa Smurf? Who's Papa Smurf from the Smurfs. You never
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: heard of the Smurfs? Oh, I know the Smurfs. There
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: was one called Papa Yeah, like the gray Beer. Oh okay, now,
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: now I'm all Evan's got me all nervous. I didn't
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: think that was all that controversy. Yeah, I don't know,
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: like it was some rapper that you know, killed somebody
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 6: No, I just I don't know Ellen Wisconsin.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: Because he knows the raps he does. His rap game
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: is strong.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, speaking of which, thoughts on the on the Drake stuff,
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 7: The Drake, not our Drake, the Drake.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 4: Actually listened to it today. It's I'd give it like
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 4: a six.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 2: Did he really he was sorry? He dropped three albums out?
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so he had a contract with a I don't
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 6: know the exact music label or whatever. So basically he
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 6: wanted out of that deal, so they he owed them
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 6: three albums. Has dropped three albums.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: Must have had the utmost. Uh, there'll be a lawsuit
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: about that. And let me tell you it sounded like
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 2: he dropped three albums at once.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they got a ten according to Matt, like Iceman,
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 6: the actual hip hop album is like not terrible, like
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 6: I tolerated it.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: The other I'm not a tolerated.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: I actually only listened to Iceman and that's what I'm
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 4: giving a six out of ten.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 6: Two the other two or are not music.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 2: That's not that Fred's right, then this is probably a
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: lawsuit coming.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 6: I'm team Kendrick.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 4: Obviously, he destroyed his career because he took a shot
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 4: at doctor Dre on this album, which means he woke
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 4: them in him up. So watch out Drakie.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, Kendrick called him a pedophile in front of Hendrick,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 6: in front of the Super Bowl audience of like one
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 6: hundred million people.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 4: Everybody scared. They're not scared of Kendrick.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 6: They should be scared of Kendrick.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, Ellen Wisconsin about Sunday night games. For a moment,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: I thought it was crazy that neither Buffalo game was
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 2: a Sunday night game. Then I remember neither of the
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: teams playing in that game is Dallas, So getting on
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 2: the Sunday night lineup is an uphill battle. It's a
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: good point.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 6: So I'm assuming that the four to twenty five games
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 6: a CBS jim NANTZ Tony Romo type of game, and
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 6: usually they those are like protected, like the CBS has
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 6: the rights to some of those marquee matchups and they
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 6: can say we want this game, and that.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: Was the first one, so it's not flexible.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 6: Now, last year, they played in Sunday Night Football in
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 6: Week four?
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: Speaking of flexible, did you notice that on every Denver
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: road game there's an asterisk that it could be flexed
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: to Denver?
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 6: But that's why they haven't decided. I notice that they
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 6: haven't decided the time of the week, seventeen games.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 2: Or the education. Yeah right, it could be playing in
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 2: Denver because everyone knows.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 6: You can't win in Denver. Though Paul can't win that.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 7: Well, you can if Jared still can't win their impossible
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 7: place to play. It really astounds me that you that
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 7: you're still digging your God, was that same on the
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 7: game with a guy who hadn't played in like eight
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 7: years ten to seven, and you still don't think they
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 7: had anything to do with playing in Denver? O?
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 2: God, I mean, I don't even have one.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 6: By fifty, I don't even know how we survived. Like,
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 6: I can't believe we made it out Fred, Like, I
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 6: was really surprised that we even were even there.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: I can't not submitting even the weather gods tried to
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: keep us from winning.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: In that one.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 6: Hey, we really lucked out there, man, I mean I
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 6: don't know how we did. I don't know how he
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 6: survived my breathing Still, isn't that.
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 7: We're a bad referee call away from losing. If they
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 7: don't call that rightly a lateral, you might not have
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 7: ever scored.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 6: I wanted to you know that they had that that
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 6: stupid horse outside the airport. Yeah, I wanted to put
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 6: a Drake May jersey on it. And you know, as
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 6: we were leaving, I liked I.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: Like bitter Evan. Is there another kind?
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 15: Uh?
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: Travis in West Virginia. Anyone who calls her emails a
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: show just to get a free two shirt should be
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 2: ashamed of himself. I email for the love of the game.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 7: Nice will send your I do have to say that
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 7: the phone is lit up what they did give him
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 7: free stuff?
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: Freddy Eldred who also calls for the love of the game.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: What's up Eldred's and.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 13: We're an original podcast. How y'all doing good?
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 13: I'm doing okay? Hey, I'll listen to a lot of
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 13: Patriots podcasts like Nick Cattle's and Bernard and a couple
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 13: other people. Well, this one guy keeps saying with the
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 13: booty trade, there's uh, there's gonna be an arm race
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 13: for a j Brown a beating war on June. On
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 13: June the first, I'm like.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 9: You gotta be kidding.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: Who said that? Eldred?
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 13: Uh, it was like a little young guy. I can't
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 13: remember his name, but on June first, it's going to
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 13: be a batting war.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe I have heard the opposite. I heard the only team.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: Everything I've heard is what Fred just said. Yeah, I
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: heard that just the other day.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 13: Okay, I'm hoping that what that is. And my other
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 13: question is, I know, iybody want to get rid of
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 13: Booty because hum, and I ain't. Matt Holland's the same,
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 13: but and he's older. I mean, why can't you get
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 13: rid of Mat?
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 15: Well?
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 6: I think Matt Collins a little more versatile, a little
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 6: bit better blocker, yeah than those guys, Josh. He can
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 6: play a little bit more point though, like inside the slot,
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 6: play a little more tight end point.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 7: And they're both going into the last year of their contracts.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 7: And Booty is younger. You know, he seemed to be
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 7: a guy that you would want to, you know, invest
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 7: in for the future.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I just don't know. I do think that
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: I don't look at them as Collins does different things than.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 6: Hollins is a really movable piece.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 7: Any and I think that his blocking ability all right,
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 7: But I was kind of felt like Booty does a
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 7: decent job in that too.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not gonna go on dig out the
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: nickel for you. That's why I was just about to say,
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: paulin David Bethlehem, the travel on the schedule concerns me.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: Twenty seven thousand miles. Really, guys can break discipline when
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 2: routine is disrupted. Can a young team stay straight?
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 6: It's fair? I wonder how we you know, how they
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 6: handle that. You know, when Belichick was here and even
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 6: the year would drow Mayo like we would leave early
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 6: a lot of the time for those longer trips. Obviously
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 6: we'll leave early for Germany. But Seattle Chargers, like Bill
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 6: would leave on Friday night for a Sunday West Coast game. Yeah,
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 6: I don't. We haven't had that experience. When they went
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 6: to Denver, they left late because of the altitude. They
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 6: it was a science thing. So he didn't really get
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 6: that last year. So I'm interested to see, you know,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 6: especially that Charger game. Well that would that's Thanksgiving weekend,
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 6: so leaving early would be Black Friday, and you know,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 6: leaving on Black Friday, and you know, yeah, we'll see.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: James Pettig, the most interesting Patriots fan in the world,
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: has the last word of McDermott. He says he's a
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: good coach who made mistakes. I'd say he's a second
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: tier coach who should get another job. This new guy
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: is a joke and it will implode only the least
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: screwed up worse.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, only leaves a little straw and the leaves really
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 6: screwed up. That that's they're getting laughed at it by
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 6: in all directions.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: All right, that's gonna be it for this edition of
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: Patriots and Filtered Cash twenty two.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 6: Tomorrow Tomorrow, a lot of schedule talk again tomorrow, we're
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 6: gonna go through the whole thing.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: And I got an email complaining about Barth. Oh God,
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: while you're showing press conferences, you can hear him typing,
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: man that that dude does type loud, so we need
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: to move his mic away when he's doing He literally
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 2: like there.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 6: I think there's broken keys on his keyboard because he's
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 6: such a beat because he types.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: So remember Andy, he's just like Andy. He picked things
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: up and put them down.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Like that's not We're not really talking about
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 6: the same thing here in terms of that.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 2: And it was a violent type.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 6: I've never heard anybody type louder than Barth. It used
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 6: to drive tracks absolutely nuts, trags, used to dislike tracks.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 6: The most agreeable guy ever, every like thirty minutes tracks
• 2:00:12
