• 3:02
  Speaker 4: It's quite The level of intensity is palpable.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: It goes from about a four to five.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: They go from just shorts and shorts in mini camp.
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: And the attendance has been really good for the voluntary
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: part too, So it's not even like we haven't seen anybody.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: I know that you're looking forward to its being there
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: on Monday. He was kind of the last one, so
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: we've we've sort of seen everybody too. Yeah, he was
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: at the very first practice and he hasn't been there, but.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Even some of the guys that weren't there on Monday.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I've seen around. We did media day yesterday, right, everybody's kind.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Of you mentioned yesterday was media Day.
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: That's the day that all the players and as many
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: as that can be here have their photos and videos
• 3:45
  Speaker 9: taking for the various broadcasts. So we take care of
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: all those photos that you see, like in NBC when.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Somebody says, hey, I'm you know next up?
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: You know, we film all that in the office season
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: and ship that off to the various networks. As well
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: as the stuff that we use in stadium during the
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: games and the big board. We take care of all that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 9: And we did all that yesterday. So some pretty cool stuff.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: And I saw a lot of people noticed that they
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: were wearing their gray slacks.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I realized that halfway through, halfway through the we were there,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, I turned down and like, oh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: they're all wearing great pants, right, so.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Interesting, the same uniforms, the same as the ones we
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: were last year, the dirty ones, I.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Think, so yeah, but they know they like me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: They liked the gray pants though that they like the
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: gray pants with the blue but much better than the blueberries.
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: So we're moving, moving in the right direction.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It's the stripes on.
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: The shoulders that they gotta. You don't like the stripes
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: too big, too much stripe? Really Yeah, it's a big
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: point of contention.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the stripes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: It's like a lot of the SEC teams like Auburn
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: have the stripes.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I think it could they could be smaller.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: But LSU has the stripes.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: L s U has the stripes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: This is a big bone with the fans. The fans
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: do not like the stripes.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I like.
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: So is it that they don't like the stripes or
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: is it that they don't like the stripe blueberries with
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: the silver pants because it's a different kind.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Of spe is because they don't match.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: I think if the stripes were redone in a more
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: aesthetically pleasing way, then they would get the seal of approval.
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: But just these stripes with this color coordination just doesn't work.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's all. I had kind of a tough experience yesterday, Fred,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I like you shared with the group. That's unfortunate.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Well, little background, you know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I think I like to pride myself that I can
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: throw a football a little bit. I've been told, been
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: told by certain NFL Network commentator played football at Princeton
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: that wow, dude, you got a pretty good arm. He
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: said that, quote direct quote. A couple of summers ago.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: You might remember I fell.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I do remember this.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Remember I fell on the beach.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: You were talking about when he fell down.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Well, I was playing football with my son and I
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: jumped into a sandbar. I thought it was an ocean.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And we were at training camp.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: A football rolls by my feet and I was like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: time to shine, pick the football up, try to throw
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: a rib gear. I was like, oh, and it was
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: a terrible throw. So yesterday who walks into my area?
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: We're doing some videos, but my god, Gibril Peppers walks
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: in and so we have these kind of silver footballs
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: that we were using and June he was like, Douce,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: do you want to throw Gabril the football?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And I was like absolutely.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: So I'm standing there, Gabril is standing there like, all right,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: throw it to him. And as I go to throw it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: like the silver paint on the football is slippery, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: again I just like and it's like.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I did I think I did?
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I felt like I did at least side, So I
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: think I think I think Gabril was disappointed in me.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I could see it on.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: His face to get one chance.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I know when I thought I was really gonna pop
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: that one off, like I was, you know, Everett High
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: at circa eighty five, Like.
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: But I played catch a little with the ball too.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: It was I mean, granted I got a okay from
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: Splaine passing it to Junior, but there was a little
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: bit of like attackiness.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dou just threw up his mom's spaghette.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I did was because because the other guys were all
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: going to underhand, the underhand kind of you know, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not doing that. I'm going to.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Like, let's go.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: No, he just was like, well I ran the PP
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: two and holy so is it?
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: So is it going to be your mission this year,
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: one of these years, on another occasion where you can
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: throw him the football.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: At least somebody at least somebody. I mean I said
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: it many times during the warm up SEC session of practice.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: I think I'd be great at like when the DB's
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: just dropped back and the coach just loves it to
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: them and they you know, grab it, Like I think
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: that would be really good for me. But I got
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: to prove myself. One of these days a football will
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: roll to my feet.
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: And I'm Matthew Slaters, not no longer here as a
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: coach or a player. So you can take the role
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: of when his children would catch the balls at training
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: camp for the punters and then instead of throwing it
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: back to the special teams, guys just like.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Just watch and then I'm like, no, no, no, no,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I'll throw it back.
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: I always had this fantasy that the Patriots were playing
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: a lefty quarterback one week and Belichick scept fred, I need.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: You and.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: You know had that same rotation.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Do you think you would have been better than just
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: a random guy they got to just throw with his
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: left hand like a random NFL athlete.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Oh right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: I had a catch with Edelman when we did the
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: uh the schedules video, and I was, I was, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: do you ever have a catch with Drew Paul?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Did you ever get that opportunity catch?
• 8:30
  Speaker 12: Not?
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I'd just be curious what it's like to catch a
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: ball front Drew or Brady like a real NFL quid.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Hurt your hand exactly like I've just hurt Like how
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, is it just do you feel, you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: come off.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: We talked about this during Monday's practice when we were
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: on the you know, we're.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Watching and they were doing a.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Quick drill with the I think it was the DB's
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: and they had the judge machine and it was pretty close.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: It was probably within fifteen yards, would you say, And
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: they had you know, click on the line and they
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: were turning. It was basically it's like you were almost
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: a linebacker dropping into his own, you know, so quick
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: reaction CROs get and it was like four or five
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: go by.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: And I looked at Mike, I go, you think you
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: could catch one of those?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: No doubt?
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: And he said no, and I doubt. I agreed.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: I think coming that fast, I'm not sure because I
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: pride myself the hand eye is elite.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I have an elite hand eye.
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: Especially when it comes to always says it about himself
• 9:27
  Speaker 13: like he's wrong. I have a elite handy and the
• 9:30
  Speaker 13: remote correct another another point in my.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Face going to streaming services. But that's fine.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: I don't think though, from that close, at that velocity,
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: I don't think, you know, so I wouldn't necessarily want
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: to play catch with.
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: Speaking of fast, I came out to practice Monday and
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: they were doing you know, some punt returns and whoever
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: was operating the drug machine had that thing on eleven
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: because that thing was coming out like a freaking rocket.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Good good, Yeah, get working, guys. Catch that ball.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: I I would like to try, you know, maybe run
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: like a sixteen yard dig and just tell Drake may
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: like just rifle it, like just throw it, throw it
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: like you would.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Throw a helmet.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: You might need a helmet, and like, I just want
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: to see if it hits me in the face and
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: puts me into next Tuesday, like, you know, give me
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: your best throat.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: We're watching Zoe on on the Sports Hub on the
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: TV in the studio and he he broke someone's finger and.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I park a lot at the Sports Hug. They just
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: playing catch.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a good point you break up.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: But I don't think I don't think he was throwing
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: it like as hard as he could or anything.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: That's that's that point different, right, That's what I'm cured
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: ready for it. And I've had plenty of catches with
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: my son, and that's that the thirteen year old don't
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: throw it like you, But just what's you feel like
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: coming off the off the hand. It's a fastball, Like, whoa,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: this is different.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: I mean they're probably throwing what's sixty seventy miles an
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: hour off football?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Sixty sounds about right. I mean, not like I could
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: bring it in baseball.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, not you got to wear the gloves.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: That was a video.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I told you that at Miami, right, woman up in
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: the bullpen at Miami. Know, so I would be I'd
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: throw a pitch and they would go throw it back
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: and they go.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Every pitch good someone unnerving.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's funny. I use that tonight in my son's base.
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: That's a good trash talk maneuver. All right, all right,
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: So we had a media day yesterday. We're gonna have
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: mini camp next week. What else do we have to
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: talk about today? I do have one thing I want
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: to clear up. And I appreciate Morgan for Vermont clearing
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: up something, because I didn't know if I was going crazy.
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: We're talking about wings, the drumstick part. And he said
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: the guy who wrote in on Tuesday saying drums aren't
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: wings should probably stick to eating crayons. Drums absolutely are wings.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Fred was right.
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: The drum is separated from the flat, but both pieces
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: make up the wing without question. I would like to
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: thank the guy, though his blind stupidity makes me feel
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: really smart. I knew that they were one piece that
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: got separate. It's like the shoulder, right, it's the shoulder.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: And that's all we need to do is we just
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: had a call out.
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: I was listening to the show after the fact to
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: pull the clips.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: In Renaissance like skills.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Chicken Anatim, she's got it all.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: So we did we needed you?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Were you?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: On Tuesday, I was just going to bring up Evan
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: and I were talking that report. This morning, Patriots hired
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: a director of coaching analytics. Uh, analytics, a director?
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: You did not say that, are we.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Point? They did not have someone.
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: No, they this is their fourth person on staff and
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: their analytics department, And uh, I have what I'm saying,
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: director because Marshall is the main guy in our analytics department.
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: I'd have to look up his exact title, but he's
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: he's uh, he's.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Been around for a little while, Marshall.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: And then they hired somebody from Joe McDonald who was
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: previously with the Red Sox. Actually that's making the transition
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: into football from baseball. About six months ago, maybe ended
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: towards the end of the season last year.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: I believe he's director of football strategy. Marshall homes yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: is it home.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, strategy yeah, okay, director of football strategy yeah. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: now this guy from the forty nine ers would make
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: four people in our analytics department. And you know, that's
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: an area of the team that has come under some
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: criticism for being behind the times and not having these
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: types of people. And what I liked about this hire's
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: background is that he not only does he do you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: coaching analytics, so like scouting, you know, advanced scouting for
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: opponents and things like that, and you know, charting tendencies
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: and all that good stuff. He's also worked in the
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: personnel side with the forty nine ers as well to
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: work on you know, using analytics in terms of scouting
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: and evaluating talent and players. So that's all good stuff
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: for the Patriots. And some of the best teams in
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: the league have some of the most robust analytics departments.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: Philadelphia is probably the number one team in the league
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: in terms of department. They have about eight people eight
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: people in their department. Their assistant general managers and analytics
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: guy as well, so is it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Like the Red Sox they have about one hundred.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying, and the Dodgers I think have even more.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yep.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: So McDonald came from from the Red Sox, directly from
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: the Red Sox to the Patriots and hopefully to maybe
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: not necessarily do football scouting per se, but to bring
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: the systems up to date with what the industry is
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: doing at this point. I know a lot of people
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: hear about this kind of stuff and don't like it
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: and don't want you know, the fourth down decision making
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: it all be based off of win probabilities and stuff.
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: But that's not all that they do. You know, that's
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: probably five percent of the job that gets ninety five
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: percent of the attention and just because it's you know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: presented that way on game days. But really the more
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: of the stuff that they do is is scouting, advanced
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: scouting of opponents, scouting yourself and your tendency.
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: Always done that. How does analytics change the way they scout?
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: So I would say that in a couple of different ways.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: You know, player tracking data is probably the biggest one.
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, so all the players have you know, the
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: chip in their their pads or somewhere on their their
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: person and that stuff tracks everything from like straight line
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: speed and max speeds to you know, how explosive you
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: are in and out of your cuts if you're a
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: receiver or cornerback or whatever the case may be.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I mean you can't tell that by looking at him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: Well, it just is a way to like tangibly put
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: a number to what you're watching. So that that's a
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: big part of it. I mean you could say that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: But then like the Patriots probably thought Sony Michelle looked
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: pretty fast at Georgia and like how did that go?
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: So if they had this type of data, then they
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: would be able to say, well, the data doesn't really
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: support that. So then you can go back and watch
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: the film again and make sure that your eyes aren't
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: deceiving you about certain players.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, all that stuff is good.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: Like they needed this, They needed to kind of bring
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: that department up to standard, I would say. And like
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Mike Rabel I think is a really good person because
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: he's going to still be at his heart of hearts,
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: is going to be a football guy, right, Like he's
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: not going to let the nerds infiltrate the organization. But
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: it's a great resource to have.
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: I don't think dis guy's your average nerd either. Like
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: he played linebacker at the University of Toledo. He has
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: a pretty cool stories from Nigeria. Originally was born in Lagos,
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: got a Baucher's of Engineering and Bioengineering, Masters of Science
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: and Data Science from DePaul.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: My boy's wicked smimt.
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: He's wicked smile and he doesn't look like a nerd.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Like no.
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: Locker and beat them on a test.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: Some of the things that he didn't with the forty
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: nine ers was actually creating their own metrics in terms
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: of like value and stuff like that to assign values
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: to players, whether it's like free agency or or the
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: draft too. So he did a lot of R and
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: D work on that kind of stuff as well. So
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: I'm like interested to see where they go with that too.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I have an analytics request from the nerds.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, can we get a football fast stat which they're
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: tracking guys on their shirts? Yep, we know what their
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: time forties are. But you watch enough of these games,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: you should get enough of a sample size that you
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: know which guys run routes the fastest and which guys
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: could actually oh yeah, he only runs a four to
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: four to eight as a receiver. But on the field,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: he's been running this mile proud, you know, he's football fast. Like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: can't we get that kid.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: To get that?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Well, they have that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: But I think what's cool about where we're going now
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: with all of this is that it's not just straight
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: line speed, because I think that's deceiving because if a guy,
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: different guys run forty yards and some guys may never
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: run forty yards in the straight line. So like, how
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: could you say that, you know, this slot receiver, like
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: you don't know, right, Like that's a different skill set.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: They're not running go routes. They're not.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: You know, every single year when you look at like
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: next Gen and who's the fastest players, it's always like
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: gunners on on like punt team right full, and it's like, well, yeah,
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: they're get to run the sprint down the field. That's
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: what the forty yard dash is for. It's actually why
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: it was created. So like all these things are like
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: kind of okay, but now we can measure speed off
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage and their acceleration, how quickly they
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: build up speed with the football in their hands after
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: the catch. You know, that was something that Travis Hunter
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: was like off the charts at was his build up
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: speed with the football. So you can kind of break
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: it down into separate parts now, So like they can
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: sit there and say, like this player, you know, breaks
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: at the top of the route at this acceleration, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: that's how he creates separation, and like that might change
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: in terms of like your role in an offense, how
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: important that is or isn't. So all that stuff I
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: think is really important as well.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: The least surprising thing was that evn't knew that much
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: about the Patriots analytics to it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: But I wish there was a way we could go
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: back in time and put these numbers on people who
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: we thought were like Barry Sanders, what would his numbers
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: have been?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: So we can do it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: I think we can do it with the video of that,
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: And then you can get like an estimated number by
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: basically looking at like you know, feet per minute or
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: per second I guess would probably be the more accurate measurement,
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: and then kind of computing Okay, well what's that equal
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: in miles per hour and what's that?
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: But like it's not you know, they don't have.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: The chip right, and Barry Sanders so it's an estimate,
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: but they do. There are analytics houses that do things
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: like that that are able to kind of just look
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: and based off them.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: And so when they do that, do the numbers bear out?
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: Like, yes, the people that were great then would have
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: had great numbers.
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: Now I haven't necessarily seen at like Barry Sanders or
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: you know, someone like that, but that they do that
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: with the current players now, stuff like that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: Like Aston what do you know have any idea what
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: his numbers are?
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ashton denty.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: You know, he was more about like you know, I
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: was talking about like off the line of scrimmage, Like
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: his speed was more of his burst, like the first
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: ten yards and not necessarily you know, he has breakaway speed,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: but he's not you know, necessarily.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Not worried about that.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: It's yeah, so he was.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: He graded out pretty well in those types of metrics
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: and things like that. So look, I get it. It's
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: you know, not everybody's gonna be on board with it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: You know, it has its role. It's not it shouldn't
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: be the entire piece of the puzzle, but it's a
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: piece to the puzzle. And I just think a lot
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: of the teams that are embracing it. Are some of
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: the teams are some of the best scouting teams in
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: the NFL, especially through the draft. You know, the Rams
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: are probably the poster child right now success stories like
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: the Rams. Do they draft Puka Nakua without player player
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: tracking data? Probably not, you know, so like those are
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: the things that you can look at in terms of
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: like when it works out. But you still have to
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: you know, football is football. You still have to scout it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: You still have to, you know, really do your due
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: diligence and watch the tape. And the tape is king
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: And I don't think anybody's arguing with that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think, you know, it's one thing to
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: get this tracking data when they're in a sterile environment,
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: But what's that tracking data look during a game?
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: To me, that's the most important part.
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: Well, that's what it all is. Yeah, none of us
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: so like that. You know, teams like the Rams and
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: now the Jaguars who are following in the rams footsteps.
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: The Rams don't even go to the combine. They don't
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: pay attention to a single thing that happens at the combine.
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: They don't send anybody, they don't do any of the
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: interviews they don't look at any of the on field
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: drills because all of their data is in game tracking. Right,
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: how fast is this guy with pads between the lines?
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: Not?
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I don't care what he runs in? A forty in spandex.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Still sounds stupid to me.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I think that's dumb.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Just go like, if you want to everything that Evan
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: just said about the data, if you want to accentuate
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: that data, by all means you accentuate that data.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: That's what I believe in. Why would you not go into.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: So why would you not utilize all the possible information
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: that you can everyone else you want to lean on
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: all of the numbers that you get on your own.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Fine, but why wouldn't you go and talk to somebody?
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Why wouldn't you use the opportunity to meet with as
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: many players as you can to get to know who
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: they are.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: Well, to take it a step further, they don't do
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: thirty visits either, So.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Like, I think that's insane, it's kind of arrogant.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: So it's very ary, and I you know I'm saying this.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: You know that I'm a believer in McVeigh.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's exceptional, But I think that's that's
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: closing the door to information. I don't know why you
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: would ever do that. I would say the same thing
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: to the football I used to criticize Belichick for completely
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: being so anti analytical, even though I am more anti analytical.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: Why would you close the door to information that can
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: possibly help you right, use it all and then determine
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: on your own what you think is more important.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: So the reason why they don't not not that I
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: necessarily agree with it, but the reason why they don't
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: do interviews is because they don't want to develop bias.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: H Yes, they don't want get clouded towards the individual players,
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: Like they don't want a player that's just a great
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: talker to just talk them into drafting him if he's
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: not a great football player. So they that's how they
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: view it is that when you meet somebody in person
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: and you hit it off with that person, then maybe
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: you get clouded in terms of your judgment that we
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: just like this kid, so we're just gonna draft him
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: over you know, drafting somebody else who's actually got better
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: tape in it, a better football player.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: My argument against that would be, have you never had
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: a I'm going to leave out my example, but that
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: I just thought of that maybe, chuckle. Have you ever
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: had an experience with somebody that was sort of average
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: on paper that was made to look better when you
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: got to talk to them and they turned out to Wow? Boy,
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: Am I glad I got to know that person because
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: they offer so much more than they're quiet.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: There's a lot right right?
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: You tell me there's no example of a player who
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: has average skills but is put over the top because
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: he's incredibly prepared and instinctive and you know, leader, you
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: know leadership. You can't use a player like that that
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: maybe doesn't have the perfect numbers that you're looking for. Again,
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: if you want to accentuate the numbers, that's your prerogative.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I don't think that that's wrong. You utilize all the
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: all the analytical data that you can. But I don't
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: know why you would not want you know, am I
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: going to be afraid that I'm going to say, Well,
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: this guy flat out can't play, but he was a
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: really good guy, so I'm going to draft him.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think that happens a lot.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: It's interesting that they came to this though, probably during
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: that period, but they didn't really have a lot of
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: high round picks, but the proof is in the pudding.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: They've drafted really well the last couple of years.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: They cannot do with the program, or as I like
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: to said, the program the program. Yeah, and argue with
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: their their success rate.
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with their interview process. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: think they do a great job though, of and they
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: show it a lot with some of the Rams behind
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: the scenes stuff where it's like less Need and his
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: kind of group, less Needs their general manager. He kind
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: of brings like that sort of analytical approach, and then
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: Sean McVay brings the football right, and so Sean McVay
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: will come in and less Need will say, well this guy,
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: we like this guy because of this, this and this,
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: and then Sean McVay will come in and say, well
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: I can use them like that, and I'm going to
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: use them like this and this is he's gonna be
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: a great fit because of the X, Y and Z and
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: they've that's I think how they kind of put it
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: all together. But you know, the Rams, uh, the the Eagles,
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: the Lions, the Ravens, certainly like these teams all have
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: great strong analytical departments, you know, big staffs, all of it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: That have a huge role in what they're doing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: The personal department also promoted someone to replace Cam Williams.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Did hold police have that name right here? That would
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: be Tony K.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: And he was with.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: So that's a pro personnel.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: That's the director of college scouting.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: College scouting switched I think from pro to replace Cameron.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: He's been around a little bit. I think he was
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: with Tampa for a while.
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: Okay, Jack and and Arbor warns us about having a
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: catch with a pro quarterback. He says, Stuart Scott, he
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: has been an ankerman. Before an NFL game, Scott asked
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: a quarterback to throw him a pass.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Uh. The quarterback through the pass aimed directly at his head.
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: Not realizing how hard the QB throws of football, Scott
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: couldn't catch it, went through his hands, hit him in
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: the eye, partially blinding him.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: That is correct. I remember that story. That's yeah.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I thought that was just a thing. Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: that was an accident.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Do you know what quarterback it was?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't remember.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Remember our old security guy broke a finger catching a
• 27:05

  Speaker 5: the musician or sorry trump.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Not the trumpet.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: Trumpets gross, like to get those all caught in there

  Speaker 8: objectively cool, thank you.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I picked the trombone. I had no idea what well.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the sax is cool because you don't look like
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: weird when you're playing it.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: When you're playing the trumpet, your cheeks around like this.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: But I don't know, you can kind of be cool
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: playing the saxons.
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: That sounds so good too, Like do you know Joey
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: Sacks that the Celtics games befriended him just after a
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: couple of times there when he has like when he
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: plays outside of TD Garden after a concert or something,
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: it's electric. Like he did a Celene Dion song after
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: Selene concert. It went so viral because he was so good.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: That's like why I stopped playing in the school band
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: was because we we were doing all the classical stuff
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: and it was like, wasn't fun, Like I yeah, I
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: think nowadays they try to do it a little bit more.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: We were actually playing songs, you know, like it's way
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: more exciting when you're when you're actually playing a song
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: than it is like when you're like going back and
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: playing like some like symphony or something, and.
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: The college marching bands do all of the lights.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, right, Like I hear that a lot more now
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: that they do, Like they do actual songs that are
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: popular and stuff, which is much more fun.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Do you remember, like all the songs that your band
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: used to play, Like during football games in high school,
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: there was just like a repertoire of.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Like, you know, certain field.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: You were paying attention to the cheerleaders in the band,
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: like me, why do you play?
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: I was about quarterback for a while. I had the
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: baseball hat in the EyeBlack.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: I was looking so so our band sometimes they didn't
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: this is high school. They didn't travel. But one kid
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: was really into it, the trumpet player, and so you
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: just had the trumpet guy go and he for like
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: away games, he would just trumpet.
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: It was a trumpet guy.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: It wasn't his name was Cliff.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: It wasn't as exciting, but just a trumpet, you know.
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: But Jeremiah says, if we're giving suggestions for a song
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: that Evan should play at his wedding, on his sacks,
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: I suggest Careless Whispers just sits at the middle of
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: a dance as he circles.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't pay.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: What's that song?
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: It's about cheating?
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Oh it is, Oh.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Caroline, that's not nice, Jeremiah.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: It's a great sacks.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: It's definitely it's a great SAXA my uh, it's cheating.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: My grandparents were massive Neil Diamond fans, huge, and so
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: at their fiftieth wedding or anniversary, I performed Sweet Caroline,
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: and I practiced for like weeks in advance to nail it,
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: and they had a little band with me and everything
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: to fill in.
• 35:28
  Speaker 14: And of course did they do the oh yeah, yeah,
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: so good, so good, so good, you know, you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: and I'm just wailing.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 35:39
  Speaker 15: I know.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Alex said that I don't think saxes are cool. They
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: just like silly to me, like walking out on it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Like who's doing that?
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: The Battle of the Fans dancing.

  Speaker 5: played the sacks with like he was like shirtless with
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: like a leather pants and like a ponytail.

• 37:54
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty twenty four Patriots with just the expected lows?
• 37:59

• 39:43
  Speaker 9: the more surprising outcome as it comes to making the
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: roster slash Day one starter the wide receiver room or
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: the interior offensive line, which will have the more surprising outcome.
• 39:55

  Speaker 2: surprising like a Tyree Robbins.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna go guard to.

  Speaker 11: No, I don't like the reaction, the manufactured hype.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Correct, that's doesn't like people who try hard.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, try hard doing this. Do not
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: do this about the player. I don't know enough about
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: the player know if I like him or not. I
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: haven't really seen him. It's the gross overreaction to everything
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: that I sort of pushed back on. Okay, enough, there's
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: no like, and he doesn't like people who try hard.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of guys who try hard. Come on,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: all right, don't be like.
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: Curtis also said that second question, agree or disagree? If
• 41:11
  Speaker 9: Gonzo has a similar or better season this year, signing
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: him to an extension next off season is top priority,
• 41:20
  Speaker 9: the top priority.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: But is the extension eligible?
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: I don't think he can.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: That'd be his third season.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: I think, don't you have to wait till the fourth.
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: I think they would always forget that, dang right, But
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: then he would be eligible after the third season. Oh wait, no, no, no,
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: he's right, he's right. Yeah, talk myself out.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Of that.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: Change because Brady did it after his third Well, yeah,
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: the rules have changed. Okay, but but the emailer is
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: right because he's talking after this year. That would be
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: after the third year. Yes, you can decide on the
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: fifty year option.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: And you can extend that. Yeah, I got all very well.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: Might be that is very difficult for Paul.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: I could see it being the top option and one
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: of the top options. I mean, I haven't looked too
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: far down the road with the free agents and everything.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: But absolutely, and it seems like from what we've seen
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: with this regime that that would be on the docket.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: With Bill, I don't feel like there will be any
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: way that they're going to up him until you know,
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: last minute. But with Wolf, I mean, they certainly seem
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: to have the cap space and all that stuff to
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: be able to handle it handle a big contract like
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: that at that point, and who else is it going
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: to go to? So yeah, I think it's definitely something
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: to watch out for.
• 42:28
  Speaker 9: Okay, Steven and Ireland A quick question, will we ever
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: see a Patriots Unfiltered Slash Cash twenty two crossover show
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: where Barth comes on? Love those shows for their different styles,
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: but just to see once a mashup of both of
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: you at the table.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: Also, Alex had on a Wednesday during the season we had.
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: Barth come in.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: He did well.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: I remember Fred like waving Barth in. I think to
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: like talk about something.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: I think it was Kickers.
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: I think I might also Alex name dropping Isaiah Rashad
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: last week as the great last great music to come
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: out was so on the money.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Kudos Alex, thank.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: You for that.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: Who's that?
• 43:06
  Speaker 11: I don't know, I don't know You're very good hip
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: hop artists.
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, Jeff in Canada. A couple off season conversation starters. One,
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: what is the best Patriots team from any era that
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: didn't advance to play in a Super.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: Bowl, AFC Championship lost in any era?
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Seventy six, seventy six?
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, they were loaded.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know what did what did we actually asked
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: Steve Nelson that question?
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: Did we not what was better?
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Who was better seventy six or seventy eight? And what
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: did he say? Did he say seventy eight was better?
• 43:40
  Speaker 9: Don Brocher, the late great equipment manager here, he said
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: seventy eight was a better team.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, So I would say seventy eight.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Then, yeah, that was the rushing team, right, that was
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: the scene that said the rushing record over two thousand
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: rushing arts. Yeah, I would say I would.
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: Say either of those teams, seventy six or seventy eight,
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: relatively speaking, a loaded team.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: Because I think the teams in recent and you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: the recent past that fell short of the Super Bowl
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: probably got as far as they should have got. Like
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: I don't really remember them getting upset in a conference change,
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: like maybe the.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Baltimore Universe they would have that they had they.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: Were That team was overachieving like crazy, right, I'm just saying.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: I would say the twenty fifteen team, probably when Baltimore
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: won the Super Bowl.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: That's a twenty fifteen team. That's a good Edelman got hurt.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Was that the year that Manning was.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: They lost, And.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: That's a really good one. I think rock instead of
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: I think that's the answer.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that team was a wagon until they people started
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: getting hurt.
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: I would say the seventy six and seventy eight teams
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: were better than that personally, but in their era.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: One of them had Tom Brady fifteen teams.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm not comparing talent on teams. I'm comparing like that.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Fred said, yeah, yeah.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: The other one, I would say.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: So just like the seventy six team. This, you know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: and a good friend g.
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: Matt Jerry told me to make sure you explain when
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: you do, like the little cart into the history way
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: back machine. Yeah, so seventy six, just let everybody know
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: the Oakland Raiders won the Super Bowl that year. They
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: lost one game all year, they went thirteen and one,
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: They went through the playoffs, they rolled to a super Bowl.
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: They really weren't tested. The one loss was a forty
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: eight to seventeen loss to the Patriots here in Foxborough
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: and the playoff, the one close playoff game was a
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: game that a lot of people think was stolen away
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: from the Patriots fan and wild card game. Yeah that
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: was rough in the passer Yeah, rough in the passer game.
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: So that tells you how good that Patriots team was
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: relative to the rest of the league. No one else
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: could play with Oakland. The Patriots pounded them once and
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: was We're up twenty one to ten in the fourth
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: quarter of the playoff game in Oakland and couldn't hold on.
• 45:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: That was part of my conversation with Steve Nelson. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: asked him if beating the Raiders in eighty five still
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: had some meaning after what had happened previously, and you know,
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: he said yes, And that's something I think that gets
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: lost now we're so used to free agency and teams
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: changing so much that he kept playing into you know,
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: ten plus twelve years because they had been with all
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: those guys like it just it felt like that was
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: a continuation all through the early eighties, that it was
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: kind of the same team, the same players. You know,
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: a couple guys would changed here and there, but he
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: still felt that in eighty five, like we're the same
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: team where we have all the pieces. We just they
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: think eighty one eighty two, those seasons they had winning records,
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: they just didn't make the playoffs. They were an okay team.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: So I think that gets lost. But it's it's so
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: different watching those teams and looking at the teams around them.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: There was no turnover.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: It's pretty much the same who that's your team.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: And yeah, draft want to say in that era, you know,
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: so seventy eight was really good. They won eleven games.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: Seventy nine I think they fell off a little bit
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: because that was the year that you know, Fairbanks had
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: gone ron Orheart took go over. Eighty I think they
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: won ten games, didn't make the playoffs. Eighty one they
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: fell apart. Yeah, they went two and fourteen in eighty one,
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: but then they recycled and went to the playoffs in
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: the strike year of eighty two. Ron Meyer, you know,
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: came in sort of built them up. Then he left
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: and Barry got them to the super Bowl in eighty five,
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: went to they won the division in eighty six, so
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: they would they did. I know, everybody just thinks that
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: always sucked in the eighties, but they did have some
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: good teams.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: That defense was outstanding. I mean watching it now, I
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: have a whole new perspective on how good they were
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: across the board, and not only.
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: What do you think was parcels here as a line
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: in eineteen eighty eighty and Nelson said, I think they
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: went ten and six that year and didn't make the playoffs.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Nelson that year he had been I
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: think seven years pro That was his first Pro Bowl.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: I think he was fifth place in Defensive Player of
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: the Year voting. You know, he said Bill Parcells was
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: was the best coach. But that eighty five defense was stacked,
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: and they also had guys that just played great that
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: season two like Fred Marion came on and had so
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: many cut, clutch interceptions. I have such a new perspective
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: on it after kind of watching those games.
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: It's a Jeff saying, sir, is the twenty ten team
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: that was fourteen and two.
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: I was a good but that's a good addition. I
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: think that's another team that overachieved like crazy.
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: I would say out of the dynasty teams, like six
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: twenty fifteen, would like qualify for that.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good addition to it.
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: They had they still had no business losing to the Jets,
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: like they killed the Jets in the regular season.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Shouldn't have watched the Jets. I just didn't think they
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: were They weren't a fourteen and two team. Yeah.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if they would have won it all,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: but they should not have lost the guests.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Second question, what is different right now?
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: If Rabel was hired last January when he was available
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: after Bill and Robert parted ways, good question.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: We have varied now, it would be a very different
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: gone differently I think.
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think this is kind of a pall thing,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: but I don't think he would have run it back
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: with all the Patriot players probably.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: I think that's that's the biggest thing, is how many
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: guys would have gotten rid of last.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: Year declined to resign.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I think I think that's a good one.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: You know, mre to tension a year early. I mean
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: that's a question maybe, but there's a lot of things
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: they did last year that I think he probably would
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: have come in and wanted to put his own stand.
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Jeffrey says, I think for Vrabel, the male year
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: is the best thing ever because it removes the pressure
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: of being the guy who followed bets.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: So but we might have signed Derrick Henry so Deuce
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: miss that I didn't even think of that, and thank
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: you good email, Jeff Good.
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: I think it was a shoke brought that point. I'm
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: sure I was talking to him about. I mean, unfortunately
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: for Mayo, he kind of became the buffer year and
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: there's no real comparisons now to Rabel and and Belichick.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: He kind of has carte blanche.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Now that's true.
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: I mean like they tried that with Cam though, and
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: then like you kind of you were trying to clear
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: the decks for Mac, but like it still felt like
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: Mac was the successor to Brady because and I wonder
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: if it ends up feeling that way with this will
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: be like the.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: Trivia thing they're like who coached in between?
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: It will be if if, especially if it works well
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: to bring it to some other local Boston sports news.
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: You know, the Bruins hiring Marco Sturm now are just
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: like on this trend of every hire as a former
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: player who played for the team that hired them, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: so yeah, it was like the only one, right, but
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: the you know, the Celtics have Sam Cassel on the
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: staff who played for them, so like they it's they
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: have like every team now has a guy that has
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: a connection to to the team as a player. And
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: all three Bruins, Red Sox, Patriots, they all played in
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: the same era in Boston as well, you know, and
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: their respect team.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: So it's cool.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: It's so funny by talking about this with my hockey
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: buddies this weekend about just how different the public and
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: sports fans view football coaches who are geniuses and the
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: ones who make it work and hockey coaches who get
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: fired left and right. They're just kind of there for
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: a little while to see if they can motivate guys.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: But there's no you don't the way you hold up
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: you know, the.
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: Like the greatest football coaches of all time, Vince Lombardi,
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: Like you don't look at Scotty Bowman and say like
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: he was a genius, like he was a great coach.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: But there's not that pressure on football coaches where they've
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: got this secret playbook, they've got all the answers, and
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know where you guys, find Basketball falls in that,
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: but it's such a different perspective, Like how many teams
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: is Peter Laviolette my cousin Pete coached or you know,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Mike Sullivan's got another job, Like they just go from
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: place to place. Football, you get maybe two chances and
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: then that's it.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: You're out.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: It's weird.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: I would say basketball has it's it's fair share, like
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: Red Hour back off the triangle offense with Phil Jackson
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: pat Riley, Like those guys are.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: How smaller guys you do set up plays Hockey it's
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: their plays, and there's defenses and offenses, but it's so
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: much more fluid that you're more training guys to react
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: on the fly rather than get in position and go
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: to these exact spots. It's not like that.
• 51:46
  Speaker 11: The more basketball evolves to the less that becomes.
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean current coaches like Rick Carlisle now taking
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: the Pacers to the finals is like one of the
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: best coaching jobs I've seen in a long time in
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: the NBA, And that's pretty rare that you say that.
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: Don't really say that too often, but basketball too, you
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: have all the college coaches, you know, John Wooden and
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: coach k and you know, uh rupped from Kentucky and
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: like all like those guys like that's also a big
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: part of it in basketball too, because those guys coach
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: in college basketball for like twenty thirty years.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Some of them stay at the same school. So it's baseball's.
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: Weirsi too because you're kind of like part of the game,
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: but you have to you know, you're controlling the flow
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: a lot more in baseball, I would say than maybe
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: other sports. You're able to you know, it's it's you're
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: constantly chiming in with what are we doing in this situation?
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: What guy am I going to hit here? They're this matchup?
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: All reprimanded me the other day for talking baseball.
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's a sport.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: He's a hall of reprimanded.
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: I was talking about Brian Bao, Say I look good.
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: I said he was getting stronger as the night. When
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: I said, he's at his best when that fastball has
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: that late.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Paul's like, okay, I don't know. I don't one gets
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: to baseball.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: No, no, I wouldn't.
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: I certainly wouldn't say that any pitcher for the Red
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: Sox is better when that fastball like that was the
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: part that made me last it's true.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: I'm an observer of sports.
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: I would I would say that in general terms, coaches
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: all four sports are vastly overrated in their like tactical approach,
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: like the x's and o's not football, I think I
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: think it's I think they all run virtually the same stuff.
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: It's all about feel and when you're calling plays and
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: how you're exploiting mismatches and what I'm going to call
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: this play against this defense because I know it's gonna work.
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: Like they're all running the same place, like the same
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: kind of concepts. In general, I think that what separates
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: guys is their ability to connect and motivate and lead.
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: And that's why to Evan's point, like Mike Krzyzewski and
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: all these guys like, it's not because Mike Krzyzewski's running
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: a different offense than Rick Patino is running, right, No,
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: it's they all have their different philosophies and systems.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: College.
• 53:59
  Speaker 9: It's the more success you have, the more obviously stability
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: you have, the more the school needs you to stay
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: because for recruiting.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: It builds on it, you know, it builds on itself,
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: it sustains itself. And I do think in basketball because
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: there are a fewer players, it's less important as.
• 54:16
  Speaker 9: To what you see, Well, the player is the less
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: correct if you're if Lebron's on your team, right, you
• 54:21
  Speaker 9: have less of an impact than Rick Carlisle has because
• 54:24
  Speaker 9: Halli Burton is probably their best player, but he's not
• 54:26
  Speaker 9: really a superstar.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that's the cool part about what's happening
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: in the NBA now is that it's really everybody's calling
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: it like the weak Link era, because like, really it's
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: like you need to have five really good guys and
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: it's not so much about it. It's not like a
• 54:42
  Speaker 8: Lebron dominating the league anymore. It's like which team has
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: the best one through five in the league, Like Oklahoma seven,
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: Oklahoma City is gonna win and there they have the
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: best starting lineup and really the best like top five
• 54:54
  Speaker 8: or six guys out of any team.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Now they also have the MVP of the league.
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: But like SGA is not going to go down as
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: like a Lebron James, right, Like he's not going to
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: be like an all time great player. But you know,
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: the Celtics were kind of the same way last year,
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: where Tatum is their best player and it's arguable where
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: he ranks and the pantheon, so that it's a different
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: kind of era in basketball now.
• 55:15
  Speaker 9: Tim our friend from Duncan writes in the Patriots seventy
• 55:18
  Speaker 9: sixteen is one of the greatest teams to not reach
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: a Super Bowl. I was at the forty eight seventeen
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: game the hated Raiders. The roughing, the passer call that
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: lost the playoff game was one of the worst in history.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: That game would have been over. That is why the
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: tuck rule was so satisfying to me.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: The funny thing is is you watch that play now,
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: that's a penalty all day, long time, right right back
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: in my seventies.
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: But it probably wasn't a penalty in the seventies, right, Fred,
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: you hit him in the head?
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you hit him in the head.
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: Follow up from last show, Fred, you're thinking about bars
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: of soap is all wrong. The soap companies will never
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: change the shape or style because they don't care about
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: the little nub that you have to deal with at
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: the end of the bar. With how much you hate
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: that left over piece, you're still giving them your money
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: regularly they've won and you've lost. Unfortunately, Also, the rest
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: of the Guys that say they're using a loofah are
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: probably just using a bath scrub as Loofahs are actually plants.
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: They used to be used in its shower, but some
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: cultures eat them in soup, stews, et cetera.
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: That's it's not really I just used plastic, not as
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: much as I should, but I actually I actually drown
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: it in soap every day. So I'm hoping that that
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: maybe helps kill things out.
• 56:36
  Speaker 11: A lot of bacteria.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Well, no problems, Yeah, we'll see.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: I only use it for my my man bits and
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Information you can't notice.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta save your soap. You can't wash
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: your hair that much.
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: It's something I've discovered later in life.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: It's it's dries you out right.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: That's my problem, right, It dries you out.
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: Soap, Uh Christ and Colfax. The subject line says, Paul
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: hates fun. I would love to see how long Paul
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: would hold out on hating Julian Edelman if you were
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: drafted to the team now exactly how he was out
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: of Kent State. Also, Will Campbell is one hundred percent
• 57:15
  Speaker 9: the guy Paul was thinking about swaying the coach staff
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: in an interview.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I can see that.
• 57:21
  Speaker 6: I'm you know, yeah, I'm not necessarily saying that. Actually
• 57:25
  Speaker 6: he has me confused with Fred and Mike, who were
• 57:28
  Speaker 6: both anti fun. You can't celebrate good plays, you can't
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: do anything fun. No, but the Edelman comparison is actually
• 57:35
  Speaker 6: a good one because the email is right. I was
• 57:38
  Speaker 6: very slow to come around on Edelman and Welker, and Welker,
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: but I would say, I will do it when you
• 57:45
  Speaker 6: give me reason to. But they're both right. I was
• 57:48
  Speaker 6: very late to the party on both guys because I
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: wanted to see it. Don't just tell me that this
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: guy's great, like sight Onseen Julian. Edelman's first training camp
• 57:58
  Speaker 6: was a disaster. He couldn't catch the ball in practice,
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: he was dropping punts, he was slipping all over the field.
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: Then all of a sudden, he goes out in a
• 58:06
  Speaker 6: preseason game and electrifies with a punt return for a touchdown.
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: You're like, h, maybe this guy's got something. Who you know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 6: And I don't sit there for the next seven years
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: and say he's not that good. No, that's part of
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: like sort of adjusting, admitting you're wrong, admitting this guy's
• 58:24
  Speaker 6: got a little bit more to his case and you know,
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: maybe learned something at the NFL level.
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean in your defense too, how many of
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: those guys were billed as the next Welker or the
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: next Settlement or the next Troy Brown and your time here,
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: they're probably.
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you that this is at least thirty long
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: three that did it. Sheky's another one.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Everybody told me how graat he was, how Mike every
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: single told me, this guy is this, this guy's don'tbelievable.
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: He's the next one, you know, Jeremy Eber, Jeremy Gallon,
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: TJ Mole like like this is that you fell in
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: love with from Miami. Jeff Thomas, Uh Thomas another one.
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: But not in that mold Jeff Thomas was. But Brad
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: Barrios ended up having a pretty solid career. He has
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: had a pretty solid career.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: Stiff, so stiff. He's a borderline NFL player.
• 59:17
  Speaker 10: No, everybody said, I feel like if he wasn't dating
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: Alex Always.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Still I'm not saying around the least.
• 59:26
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying he's a Hall of Famer. But but
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: Bradson Barrios has carved out an NFL career like.
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: It's not like some of these guys that I'm talking
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: about kicked around.
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: Isn't like Austin another one he played for the Saints,
• 59:37
  Speaker 6: like you had an NFL career, I think they said.
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: But they all said they were Welker and Edelman, and
• 59:43
  Speaker 6: it's so disrespectful to Welker and Edelman, those guys with
• 59:47
  Speaker 6: special players, and none of these guys has even approached that.
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: But I'm telling you there's at least two dozen that
• 59:55
  Speaker 6: I could give you that that everybody told me we're
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: going to be.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: That Matt and for Worth Texas.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 9: Like so many other loyal listeners of PU, I look
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: forward to your show every week, and you guys truly
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 9: help me and so many other listeners get through their day.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: That being said, I feel compelled by a sense of
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: duty and responsibility for every other PU listener to call
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 9: out our common enemy.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Christian in la oh Man, please waiting now?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: I now I reach it.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: You're in Hollywood, Mike.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: You should know now. I recently left the Marine Corps
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: after seven years.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: And the only reason I bring that up is to
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 9: say I've been through many, many situations that are extremely
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: mentally and physically demanding, and none of it comes close
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: to the pain and suffering I endure whenever a Christian
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 9: in LA decides to pipe in and run his mouth.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: Every single show, I ran the math on how big
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: of a problem this specific caller is.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: In a year, there are about one hundred and twenty
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: PU episodes.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: Assuming Christian in La calls in and rambles for two
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: to four minutes an episode over the course of one
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: year is a time accumulates to four to eight and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 9: a half hours per year.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: Now, PU is it my show?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: That this egregious amount of time needs to be curtailed.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: Christian in La. This is semi lighthearted. Please stop with
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: so many rambling, dumb questions and so.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: As in Rebuttal. I have Christian LA on the phone
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: right now. Christian, what say you?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: I say I should ramble and.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 16: Go on tangents because apparently there are people out there
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 16: in Patriots nations that do not like Patriot fan. I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 16: am a Patriot fan and whover you are if you
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 16: don't like that? I think about my questions first as
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 16: to not waste the guys I'm at the babe, just
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 16: maybe have another.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 17: Angle on what our patriots are doing that you and
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 17: my friend should become a death band and be surest
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 17: to the losers.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: That's my rebuttal for that guy.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 17: Okay, now onto my daily ramble, keeping on, keeping on subject.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 17: If you guys had to do a karaoke song like
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 17: pictured the Wind the Soup Bowl if he did, what
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 17: would each of your ghost songs be? And part B
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 17: of my rabling questions based on their personality we can
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 17: know about them? What karaoke song do you think, Bill, Tom,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 17: Julie and Gronk with you? And yes, I'll take it
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 17: off there so I can listen to it. The rest
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 17: of the people hate on Christians.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: From la good okay, all right, and Christian's defense.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: He called into Cash twenty two and apologized to me yesterday,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 8: oh for his Kendrick.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: Bourne, who did he?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: Have?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: You mistaken?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 18: It?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: Actually your doppelganger, Scott Zolac.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: So he said that it was Zoe, which didn't surprise
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: me because he called us we're at noon, and I
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: guess is from ten to noon he might have been
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: listening to Zoe and Beatle and her dad.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: So he said it was so I respect that I
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 6: do not remember you waxing poetic about Kendrick Bourne. Yes,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 6: and you guys know me.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I remember.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 9: One thing about Christian is he has the moniker of
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: the worst caller.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: And he owns it. He does, he loves he is
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: the worst call takes.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: It right, proves it right. Just kidding Christians.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: So what would be your go to karaoke song?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: Alex all Right? I got two?
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: She's ready.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 10: I've won a couple of karaoke contests and Monday.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: I heard her sing the other day. She's a soprano.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: It's she's a wonderful voice.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 11: I have a good karaoke voice.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 10: If I I wouldn't actually pursue singing because I would
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 10: be like the tryhard girl.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 11: But I think I I'm pretty good karaoke. My mom's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 11: a good singer. I don't know musical household. I want
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 11: to dance with somebody, Whitney Houston. I won a Carrie
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 11: I know. I want a karaoke contest in New Orleans
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 11: at the cast.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 10: Me out with that song, A number two that's music
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 10: exactly why not?
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 11: Sadly? Number two?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 10: Dirty Little Secret by the All American Rejects. It's pretty unexpected,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 10: but it kind of like.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 11: People get riled up by it. I put a lot
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 11: of thought into this.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: You've already in Nashville.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 5: We've done a couple.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I did bust a move in Nashville
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: for for the boys. That was it was.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: It might have been the fact that I had twenty
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 6: seven beers in me at the time, but yeah, I
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: thought you did.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: It well, it was actually for you, it was.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: We haven't gotten into it yet.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: I used to do the Wanderer a little bit.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 19: I want to.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: And I also did a.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: Big one at the at the at the Woodshed is
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 5: Amy Amy, Peer Prayer, Prairie League, what you want to do?

• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: I'd like to.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: I'd like to do some Neil Diamond. I think I
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: could do Crackling Rosie.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: I could do that one, okay, Evan smash mouthed All Star.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: Would you play your sacks with it too?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Or is that one.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: Very easy?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: Like no, not a lot of range on it, you know,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: and big sax and the verses are the verses are
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: basically rap.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: So it's like I've been singing a monotone song and
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: Have and I just haven't played whispers.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 8: So yeah, I have no vocal range whatsoever. I cannot
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 8: sing for my life, so I usually stick to some
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: sort of rap. But like you can't play some rap
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: is inappropriate, so you have to play, you know, friendly rap.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Kids Fall roller Coaster by Ohio Players.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: No, I can't. You guys know how bad I am.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: You guys can't You got to have a go to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: the only song I've ever done ane Fever and karaoke.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: I told you it was like a virgin, like a
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: virgin college.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: I don't have a go to karaoke song because I
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: am legitimately one of the five worst singers in the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 6: history of the world.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I can see that.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 11: Jackson five, I want you back.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: Oh that's a great song.
• 1:05:57

• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: I don't think you can hit those noseball Sorry, No,

• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: I had Beth very very concerned that I was going
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: to sing reasons at our wedding, and I think at
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 6: the like, I just kept saying it, knowing like you know, I.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: Don't know if you know the song like you talk

• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: Now, Like I could not.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: I could not have done it, but I think at
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 6: there was a point like I finally I said, no reasons,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 6: but yeah, okay, it is I just can't, Like there's
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 6: no possible.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Way I would be able to sing that a different song.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: And I finally, like a week before, I was like,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: you know that, I'm not really going to do that, right,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: And she's like, oh, I didn't think you were going to.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: But I was kind of getting worried.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 6: About it, like no, I can't sing at all ruin
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: the wedding, but I sang like a virgin at Teas
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: pub been.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: Like ninety maybe eighty eighty eight eighty nine.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: They still talk about it was that, like it was
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: it ironic?
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: Like is that what you were going?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: I was that was a little bit of a slow.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Did it work?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 12: You know?
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: It was a message?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: It was more like karaoke is a message to the
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: female population of Boston University.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: A few other drunk baseball players doing the same time.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 9: I was at a bit of I was at a
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 9: bar in the Cage and a friend of mine who
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 9: thought he wasn't good.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Singer was up there and he did.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 9: Carry So I rolled up a cocktail nap and wet
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 9: it and you know, threw it at his head and
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 9: like you know, so he stops and yells at me.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: The next thing, you know, the whole bar is throwing
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: stuff starting. But the thing is, he keeps singing.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 9: He's hiding behind this half wall, and every the whole
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 9: bar is just like the air is full of just
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 9: debris being thrown at him while he's time.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 6: Letter a few weeks ago about who would be the best,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: the best, like backstory or.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: Ever. I was just like Fred Fred has done.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Oh I have karaoke.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: BA.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 9: When I got arrested in Dallas after I sang karaoke,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 9: he broke all the windows.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: Did not know that one.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 11: What's your song? Fred?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 9: I would say it's either Mac the knife, Oh that's good,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 9: or the way you look tonight?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Great? Great?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: So I could do I could probably try to do
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: a frank Yeah.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: I was going to say something like that.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: I feel like that summer wind.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 11: That's a good key. That's an easy key for the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 11: voice to sing.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I could do summer wind.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Could I could?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: I tell the mccallen's story real quick with great songs.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: Just a quick story from Media DA yesterday. So they
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: play music for all the stuff that we do, and
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: guys come in and they want their different songs and stuff,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: and you know, try to be accommodating and getting them
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: in the mood and stuff. And and so finally mac
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: collins comes in here the end of the day and
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: they're like, listen off all the stuff they've been playing
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 5: for his teammates, and he was like, oh, man, I
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 5: hear that stuff a practice all the time. Put on
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: some Frank Sinatra. So he's got like that first song.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: It's a duet, let's say I love you, I forget.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know what the title was. But then as
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: he was walking, I make sure you lead that on
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: for all the rookies too. So it's just kind of funny.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: He's a cool dude. I like, I like my car.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: I thought you shoes on, yea, he toal, I thought

• 1:11:33
  Speaker 18: I think you have to have a starting point, so
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 18: there's going to be a way to speak, a learning
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 18: of the language. We talked about that, you know, maybe
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 18: a couple months ago, and then really it's just going
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 18: to be about giving them some things to go out
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 18: and do on the practice field and then learning what
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 18: they do well, how much they can process what style
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 18: we should play, And I've always kind of believe that
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 18: the players.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Will dictate what that ends up being. We don't know
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: that today. I can tell you that right now, there's
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: a lot we still haven't done.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 18: For the first time, we're just getting into third now,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 18: we haven't got into the red zone. I mean, there's
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 18: so many other situational things that we haven't even touched
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 18: on yet. So we're still in the learning phase of
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 18: our of our offense. Guys getting great opportunities to go
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 18: out and I feel like at this time of the year, Uh,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 18: it's either a good play or we're gonna learn from it.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 18: So there's a positive result either direction. And that's the
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 18: kind of mindset that we're taking. How long do you
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 18: take to Josh A long time? You know, we we
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 18: know when the games start. Look if if it could
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 18: be done by now, you know, we would snap our
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 18: fingers and have it be finished.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: But I would I would say that's been true.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 18: But for every season that I've ever been a part
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 18: of a team and an offense, it's just whether you're
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 18: coming back with a bunch of guys that are returning
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 18: and they kind of know it or you're not. There's
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 18: always a period of relearning and recommitting yourself to the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 18: little things, the details that it takes to run a
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 18: good play, let alone a good you know, drive, or
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 18: a good practice or a good game. There's so many
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 18: little things that everybody needs to do. There's a trust
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 18: that's being built right now on the field. The more
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 18: we do well, the more guys can trust each other.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 18: And uh, we're continuing to focus on those things and
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 18: emphasize the kind of identity that we want to create here.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 17: Hell eons has been different thing as you guys have thought,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 17: how concerned you about that missed the time?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: And what is he missing right now?
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: You just mentioned you know this is it's an important
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: time to kind of developed that together news.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: I again, it's a voluntary part of the year.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 12: We know that.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 18: I don't I don't know if we've ever had perfect
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 18: attendance at these things in general. As a coach, selfishly
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 18: love you love it when they're all here because you
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 18: feel like you got them all in the classroom and
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 18: all on the field and all the rest of it. Uh,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 18: he's here today, and we're excited to have an opportunity
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 18: to work with the guys that are out here and
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 18: available to us. So I know he's staying up on
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 18: the information and the material, and there's so many, so
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 18: many things and opportunities for us to teach all our
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 18: guys going forward between the rest of the practices here
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 18: in the spring and then going into the summer, and
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 18: and you know, the many days we have before we
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 18: actually kicked the ball off in September.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm not concerned about Steph in that regard.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: Josh, how was a drake ack commanding to your system
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: thus far? And we'll spend sort of your biggest pitching
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: on the point with.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 16: Him in the spring.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 18: I mean, he's doing really well. He's very smart, works
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 18: really hard. I think the quarterback room in general is
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 18: really really good in terms of putting the time and
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 18: effort in at this point in time of the year,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 18: you know, And and like I said, we either make
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 18: a good play or we learn from the result. And
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 18: so sometimes as a coach, and nobody wants to hear this,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 18: but sometimes as a coach, the negative results can actually
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 18: be your best teachers because you have a play where
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 18: something didn't necessarily go your way or the right way,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 18: and then you learn from it. And then the biggest
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 18: key for us as we go forward is when we
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 18: learn from a mistake, is can we go out there
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 18: the next day and not repeat the same error. And
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 18: so I think he's doing a really good job of
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 18: digesting the information, processing the corrections when there is a
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 18: correction to be made, and they go out there with
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 18: a great attitude, mindset the next day and excited.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for today. Say time time he's been repeating
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: any error? Not many, not many?
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he's no, he's you know, he does a generally
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 18: he does a really good job of listening to it,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 18: and then when you go out there the next time,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 18: you know, and you see the same kind of look
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 18: or the same problem that the defense present to you
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 18: that was presented previously. Generally speaking, he's a quick study
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 18: on that. And that's a good thing for a young player.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: You've been on this in this league for twenty flast years.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 23: You know the expectations in May, June, July, August, when
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 23: teams and people Whitecott start saying, this guy's going to
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 23: have a great year, that's going to happen with Brake
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 23: because of the improvements you guys have made on.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: The field, in the sidelines, etc.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 23: And because he's a second year player, how do you
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 23: prepare him for what could be extremely lofty expectations that
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 23: people are going to expect a return with.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 18: I think if I know him very well, which I'm
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 18: learning more and more about him every single day, he's
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 18: going to place high expectations on himself.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: I know that for sure.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 18: We're certainly going to want to try to get the
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 18: best result out of our quarterback position every play that
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 18: we can, and I think that's all we can control.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 18: We can't really control outside expectations. We're certainly going to
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 18: try to do the very best we can with our opportunities.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 18: And I see a guy that has a great attitude
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 18: and mindset about coming out here and trying to be
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 18: the best version of himself that he can be. And
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 18: I know that that's what he can control. It's what
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 18: we can control as coaches, and hopefully we meet our expectations,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 18: which will eventually meet yours.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 17: In terms of the offense overall, how have you films
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 17: about the unit's ability to learn for the mistakes and
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 17: continue to grow and how helpful has it been having
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 17: some veterans who've been in the system maybe.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Helps some better invests.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean it's again, I think the mistakes are
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 18: are opportunities. That's how I look at him at this
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 18: time of the year. You know, if we make them now,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 18: you hope that we learn from them, grow from them,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 18: and then eventually don't make them when when they start
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 18: keeping score. So I think the veteran guys that have
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 18: had some experience in our system have have been very helpful.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: You know, they're working hard.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 18: They give some little bits of advice here and there
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 18: when when it's necessary or applicable. But everybody's going out
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 18: there trying to do the best they can with their opportunities.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 18: Everybody's getting reps right now, which is the great part
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 18: about this year, about this time of the year, and
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 18: go out there and make some good plays and if
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 18: we make a mistake, we learn from it and you
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 18: get better.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: And now great moments in.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: History.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 9: That wasn't a trick play, by the way, that's a
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: that's a pass to your full back.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit of it, a little bit of it.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: Not a trick, of course, it is.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: It's a pass to a defensive player. No, just like
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: it's a past. Just like the Bills play. It's not
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: a trick play through the ball to the tight end,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: but it was a tackle. It's a trick play.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, this guy was in the game as a full
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: back and the.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: Tight end, Dawkins was the tight end on that.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: So if Devlin was, if it was Devil, would that
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: have been a trick He's a.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: Fullback, so is the land and Roberts.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so the so the Bills to play it
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: wasn't was it was a tight end.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a trick of.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: Course it was, of course, But that was that was
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: the guy playing out of position.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 5: That you're through Rob's place all the time as a
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: full back, and you don't think the guy in my
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 5: buffalo is the extra tackle all the time.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: This is not a trick play. It's not a trick play.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: So no answer the question. The guy in buffalo is
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 5: not the extra tackle.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: They had too eligible tackles on that play. That was
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: a trick play.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: It was a trick play, just like this one was.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 5: Yes, this was your fullback.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: He's always eligible.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, So he has to wait a minute, he has
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: to report is eligible because of his number. What is
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 5: the definition of his number?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: What is the definition of a trick play to you?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, razzle dazzle, you know that type of thing.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: There have so many rules I can't eveners.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 5: That's another great moment from.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: I know I was right because Eric was on the
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: other side of the park.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: I'm on your side.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Landon roberts had been established as a full back.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: Was that the fullback is always always eligible, so was
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: the tight end? Yeah, so when a tackle is playing
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: tight end, he's.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: Always he's always out.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: But in this it was a argument or no, this
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: is the same thing.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: In this case, a.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 9: Landon Roberts had been established as a full back. If
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 9: you had scouted in the way.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: In the extra tackle, was a tight end has established his.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's not trickery either.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 9: Okay, So if you said scouted the Patriots like, oh,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: if the Landon robertson as a full back, they throwed
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 9: them they you know, that's not a trick once.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: It's not a trick once.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: Paul is right about that.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: But I agree with Fred because he was playing full
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 8: back regularly and it wasn't like a tricky formation or
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: anything like that it was. He leaked out in the flat,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 8: nobody covered him because he was a linebacker playing full
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: back and he was wide open.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: My argument was that it's either a trick player or
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: it's not. There's no differentiation between like the tackle is
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 6: the third tackle, like like Nate Soldier, was that not
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: a trick play when he caught the touchdown and I Championship?
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: If if you say no, then I'm fine with saying
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: that that this is indeed.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: Them Sure I would say that that's more of a
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 8: trick play, but that was that's mostly because they're going unbalanced,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 8: and like it's a formation like this was.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: This was a regular formation.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 5: I think it's kind of Tricky's three.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: That's what I think. There's similarity.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: Also, was playing kind of the same position he usually plays.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: Right, doesn't usually play full back. He played like fifteen
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: plays a fullback.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: He threw it to him once.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: That's a lot fifteen plays.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: He played a lot of sort of tackles.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: But the third tackle with it, you don't think they
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: did it fifteen times last year with a third tackle?
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, tackle eligible right right.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: And they throw it to you once, but you're out
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: there a lot.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's different.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: Well, this is one of those times where we agree.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 8: I I would say that also a Landon Roberts uh
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 8: delivered one of the best quotes of all time for
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 8: any page. Yeah, but he was about to run through
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 8: my m effing face one time because I asked him
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 8: about playing full back and he did not like the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 8: line of questioning.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: He did not like, he did not want to I'm
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: a linebacker. Don't ever refer to me as a fallback
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: at so.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: But I was like, bro, you're doing great at fullback.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: He just kind of touchdown.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I had a great.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 8: Relationship with him, but that I remember being in those
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 8: scrums where he was like my position out literally like
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 8: stopped calling me, like, don't ever refer to me as
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 8: the fullback.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, dude, you're kind of killing it.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: They like, what do you mean? You got to touch
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: the ball?
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 4: That's a good thing.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Funny I missed a lot not being in the
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: locker room when we started doing the pre and post games.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: I missed a lot of that.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 8: Just for the record, Landa. Roberts great guy. I'm not
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: I don't want to get the wrong He was great.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 8: You know, he's from He went to Houston. He what
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 8: an unbelievable rundown. He gave us where to go in Houston.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you know before that Super Bowl he was great, nice,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 8: really nice guy.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: Marcus Jones does not his and Landa Roberson a tense guy.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 8: But Marcus Jones also like when you ask him, like
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 8: you ever think about playing receiver full time, He'll immediately
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 8: shut that down too.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, I'm a corner. Yeah, I'm not doing that.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: Shut your mouth. I eight five five pass five hundred
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: is the hotline. Let's go to it. Dominiques in New York.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: What's up, Dominique, y'all?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 15: How you doing?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 12: They're good, all right.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 19: First and foremost, there's a little bit of soap talk already.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 19: I got to stay and recommend to anyone if you're
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 19: still using the loofer or body strip or whatever, make
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 19: sure it's silicone. It works perfectly.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 19: I can't get so much in the soaf totate because
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 19: I'm like a body watch guy, so mesa man phenomenal
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 19: doctor Burner's phenomenal phenomenon in.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 15: That you know that's that?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Okay silic?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 19: Yes, I gotta try, but you're just a quick question.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 19: So but y'all, I know the NFL has a has
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 19: awards for obviously offensive player of the year, defensive player
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 19: of the Year. I think they have the Big Suckets
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 19: Awards for the pros as well. I know they do
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 19: it in college. Would you like to see other awards
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 19: similar to the Big Buckets awards, like applied to the
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 19: sensor backfield, running backs, wide receivers, et cetera, et cetera.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 19: Or do you think that would like kind of make
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 19: it a little bit too crowded in terms of wards
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 19: giving out the of the year and then just the
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 19: last point, Alex is great. This raised my favorite album
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 19: for the squad, and I'll.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: Take it off, all right, thanks Domini. So expanding the
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 9: award categories in the pros so they added a.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 8: Protector of the Year award, but often single individual offensive
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: line award, which is I think more than enough.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: Like I think if we do every position, it's getting
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 3: a little crazy.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 9: In college when they have like the Dick Buckis Award,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 9: is there also like a committee and a dinner and
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 9: a way to make money off of that too.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And like there's like the Mackie Award for the
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 8: tight ends, right, the Billet and cop for the receivers and.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: Every position.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: Quarterback one. I forget what it's called.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: Is it Doak Walker or one of those?
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe? Yeah, it might be probably not.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 5: I agree with Evan generally, I would say i'd be
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: opening like a Kicker award. I think that'd be kind
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 5: of fun.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: Like Kicker, I think there are too many awards.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: Pull back.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: What would you pull back on?
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 5: Offensive and Defensive Player.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: Of the Year. What would I eliminate in the NFL
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 4: come Back the Year?
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you coming back?
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: What are you coming back from?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 5: Well, that one's like war.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 11: I can't say.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: I can't somebody went.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: Rocky if it's coming back round, right.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: The issue with that award is that it it some
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 8: people get nominated that are really most improved and not
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: necessarily comeback. So NBA has the most Improved Player Award,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: which I think might be more what the NFL is
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 8: going for, But they just call it the Comeback Player
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 8: of the Year, and usually it's somebody coming off a
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 8: major injury as bounce back.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 5: Smith should have got an award came back complete football
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 5: and a mangled deform lower leg like that that almost died.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, guys, I don't care for offensive and defensive Rookie
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 8: of the Year.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: There's one. To me, there's one Rookie of the Year.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 8: I like, like, I don't I don't under stand that
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 8: why we differentiate offense defense.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: It's like m v P. Right, there's not offensive m
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: VP and defensive MVP. There's just m v P. Yeah,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: So like, I don't know why that award is split
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: into two.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 8: But I do like the offensive line award because they're
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 8: never going to win any of these things, So like
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 8: have award that just recognizes offensive line because they're never
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 8: winning Rookie of the Year.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: They're winning MVP.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: Because they're never going to be in line for any
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 4: of those awards, so give them an award.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 10: But I think you could also argue that it'd be
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 10: way more rare for a defensive player to win Defensive
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 10: Rookie of the Year if it's not separated.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 11: That's like it would just go defall to offensive.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah that's flashy, Yeah you're gonna get all right.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: No, see, I don't know about that.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: You can get a DePoy without leading.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe like a corner if he has like a picks
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: and pick sixes.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: Like I think a defensive player could have been the
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying you would have to agree,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: like m VP would be hard to do.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: London is in Great Barrington. What's up London?
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 24: He know, guys, Yeah, no, no fight, I mean today,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 24: you know, I mean, it's too beautiful to be angry.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 19: So yeah, but I just wanted told you guys a
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 19: little bit about the wide.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 24: Receiver room, Like how do you guys see that shaken out?
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 24: You know, how many players do you think they're gonna carry?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 24: Because I don't know Evan. I don't know if you
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 24: followed Pat stuff, but he's a really good follow Like
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 24: he just guys, I don't know if he's a.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 15: Conned theologist or what, but this guy really gets into
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 15: like the you know, the disp body mechanics of each
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 15: players at that. Yeah, just to shout out another guy
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 15: in the community, you know what I mean.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't have gest that, you know, he would be
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: running but.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 15: But yeah, he said something about Shawn Boobie or whatever that. Yeah,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 15: he played, but he's like better at leveraging going inside,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 15: like on flats and stuff, you know, like he's like
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 15: a poor man's landry on the Browns or like Juju
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 15: Smith Schusta, if you will, But as one of the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 15: how you see that shaking out? Like especially with like
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 15: he had Polk And what's the other guy that we.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 7: Just picked up, the free agent Holland Bill?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 15: He had Holland's on the starting off on the pub,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 15: you know, and could I just wanted to wondering, how'd
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 15: you guys see that shaking out? Kendrick I'm Warris to
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 15: Kendrick Bourne. I think I think he would be good
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 15: because he had a great yield.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 7: How many is he goes? All right, just curious about
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 7: your opinions.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 15: On that guy.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, thanks London and Great Barrington. I think
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: it's all on.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 9: Threw me off because I said, okay, his name is London,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 9: but it's from Great Barrington, Rhode Island. But then he
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 9: came on and he had like a UK accent, so.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: Could be Great Barrington Mass to.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 4: Mass.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: How many great great parenton Mass but only one is great?
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: How do you feel the wide receiver room will shake out?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: I think it starts with Health million dollars.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I starts with Health with Diggs because I think
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 5: that's a spot that if he starts on pup, they'll
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 5: have an extra spot to carry someone else.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 9: So you really have to look at like, how will
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 9: it look in November, because I think he'll keep these guys,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 9: could start on pup that he mentioned.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's definitely a possibility.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 11: Makes a decision a little easier for them, and.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 6: I feel come off as really disrespect The only thing
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 6: I really concerned myself with is Digs is if he
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 6: is good enough to be their best I don't care
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: who the other five are. If he's not, then they
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 6: have trouble. That room is not good enough.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think there's always a there's a
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: place for Pop. I think there's definitely a place for
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 5: for Polk.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: I think he's trending towards being ready.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: I think Kyle Williams is a lock.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Kyle Williams and Diggs are going to be on
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 8: the team. Whether Dig starts on Pop will find out.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 8: But I think everything else is That's what I was
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 8: going to say.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: This is what I like about it is what we
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 6: talked about last week is let them compete and let
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: it be survival of the fittest, and if Booty is
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: better than Born, then he stays. If he's not, then
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: Bowen stays. Or if they're both better than Polk and Baker,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: then those two stay. And like I can make an
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 6: argument for any of those players. And we talked a
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: little bit about Douglas and Chisholm last week. If Chisholm's
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 6: better than Douglas, keep Chisholm.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm a little disappointed in how we've seen limited
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 5: three practices, but just a little bit disappointing Jabon Baker.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 5: I was hoping that maybe he'd turn a page and that,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 5: you know, so he's still got some time, but it's
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 5: it's it's tough. They realized there's twelve guys in the room.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: Six probably are going to stay. I think Mac Collins
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: is probably more of a lock than than some people think.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: I think they have a specific purpose for him.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: Is it one of your guys, Paul? I think maybe
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: Gilardi said that he could be.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: I've had a couple of people tell me that they
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: have him as a surprise cut candidate. Mac Collins, I'd
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 6: be I'd be genuinely surprised, and I'm not making fun
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: of that. Well, that's the you don't say a surprise
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 6: cut is you know, John Giles, that's not a surprise cut.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: Right, But I would just be I'm aduced with Matt Collins.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 8: He might not be one of the five or six
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 8: best guys, but I think his leadership and his like
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 8: veteran experience is something that they genuinely surprised, right, so
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 8: they if it's close between like him and you know,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 8: one of the draft picks from last year or something
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 8: like just having the veteran in the room and the
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 8: adult in the room by just I feel like that's
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 8: why he's here. He's kind of here, like no offense
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 8: to his skill set or anything, but he's kind of
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 8: here to to babysit a lot of these.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 6: So we'll see how it works out. We'll have a
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 6: chance to watch, you know, the entirety of training camp.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: But just spitballing Diggs, Williams, Douglas Booty.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 5: That's the four.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: I would say, that's you know, that's Matt.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: Collins and has five chishm is six, So no room
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: for Baker Baker Born.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're all okay.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: Now I know I'm going to go.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 5: I'll go down with a ship on Polk. I think
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: he's gonna make it. I think he'll I totally respect
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 5: the debate on that.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 6: Another thing that I've been hearing a lot, and I
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 6: heard this on my shows as I was driving home
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: last week. A lot of people they don't have room
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 6: for Polk on the roster. So I don't know if
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: this is coming from inside.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 6: People are just like throwing it out there because I
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 6: think it's easy to watch these Ota practices and Polk
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 6: isn't physically ready to play yet, so you put him
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 6: on the back burn and you say he's not going
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: to make it.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: That's not fair. He hasn't really practiced yet.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: But I there's too many people telling me that they
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: don't think Polk is a lock for the roster for
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: me not to think I don't think.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 5: He's a lot.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's a lock.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 5: I just my opinion. I think he's going to have
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 5: a good camp and he's going to make the team
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: and he's going to contribute.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 25: I look at it, well, I think if if like
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 25: I'd be, that's coming from it, that he has a
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 25: good camp, it makes these no no that Polk wasn't
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 25: a rabel guy last year, like usually your second round pick,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 25: you give him a couple of years, and I think
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 25: those people are saying Rabel has no connection to him.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he'll make the team.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd be stunned if he's really I don't really
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: good he's going to make the team.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 11: And not only to that point you just made Fred.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 10: Not only does he have no connection to him, but
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 10: you can go back and see how he kind of
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 10: handled adversity in his rookie year and I mean left
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 10: a lot to be desired in my opinion.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm giving him a chance again. I I mean,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 5: I look at it. What skill sets do these guys
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 5: bring to the team, And in a perfect world, I
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 5: think you want Jalen Polk's skill set on this team.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 5: I think he's one of the bigger, stronger receivers that
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: they have. Now, again, he hadn't d Alex's point. He
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 5: didn't live up to that last year. We saw a
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 5: little bit of it in training camp. But I think
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: that's a great player to debate about. I mean, you
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 5: can say, I don't think. I'm not saying he's a lock.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 15: I'm not.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 5: I don't other than the four guys you said, But
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 5: I do believe in his skill set, and I think
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: he has something to offer.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 9: This discreper Anthony from Cape Coral right said, player one
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 9: has thirty seven catches, four hundred and eighty one yards,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 9: two touchdowns. The player is Nico Collins. Player two has
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 9: forty three catches, five hundred and eighty nine yards and
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 9: three touchdowns. The player is Kayshawn Bouody. My point for
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 9: this is all the people that want Booty gone, he
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 9: has shown progress. Why would we not let him continue competing.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 9: It's possible he could continue to develop into a more
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 9: productive receiver.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: Not saying he's Nico Collins or what year with those
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It doesn't say.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 8: Nico Collins early on in his career at his slower burn.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 8: But year two there's there's Dagus Mills quarterback. And there's
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 8: also different compare like the situations in the rooms were different,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 8: Like kay Kasehon Boody had the opportunity, you know, right
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 8: out of the gate, whereas I don't think that was
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 8: the case for Nico Collins with Houston.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: You know, Nico Collins kind of had.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 8: To earn a role, whereas last year that's like you
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 8: look around in the wide receiver room and it's not
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 8: much competition, right, So, but I hear what he's saying
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 8: on like, I don't want to give up on Kijan
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 8: Booty either, But I don't necessarily look at Keisean Booty
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 8: and say, well, he's going to take another step and
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden he's going to be a thousand guy.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: This is kind of what he is.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 4: The more I see Booty, the more he grows on me.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he's I think he's really making the most of
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 11: OTA's right now.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 5: He Yeah.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 9: I just don't.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 6: Collins thing to me falls flat. They're not They're not
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 6: similar in any way, like they're not really it's easy to.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Pull the stats.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, and Nico Collins had that breakout game here, right,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: was that in the preseason where all of a sudden
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 5: he just seemed like it was really starting to click
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 5: for him like that Maybe that.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: Was just for me, but that's what we're going on.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 15: Like c J.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 6: Stroud came in and all of a sudden he became
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: a reson game. I wonder how that works. But Booty
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 6: had Drake May, Yeah, yeah.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 8: And Booty is the most of the Booty and and
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 8: Drake May I think have developed a pretty nice chemistry,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 8: which is one thing that's in his favor, you know,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 8: as a holdover from last year, and they have a
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 8: little bit of a rapport. He runs the routes, Drake
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 8: May likes to throw you know, out on the outside,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 8: whether it's the go routes or the corners or things
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 8: like that, so they have a nice feel to their
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 8: game together. I'm not ready to give up on Keijh.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 8: On Booty, I just would say five hundred and six
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 8: hundred yards is kind of where I think his career
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 8: is going to be. Like, I just don't necessarily think
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 8: that there's another step for him, but maybe there will be,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 8: and I would keep him on the team as of now.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 8: I just think, you know, with Jalen Polk, it's not
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 8: even health. I just there's just no precedent for having
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 8: the rookie season that he had and then being good.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: Well, let's put it this way.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 9: If if it's Digs and Kyle Williams and Booty has
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 9: five hundred six hundred yards, that's great.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 9: Right, let me know what Digs and Well, no, then
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 9: you're one and two and they have one and two
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 9: receiver numbers.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 4: So you think Williams and rookie Year is going to
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: be more than six hundred yards.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe, Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 8: If it'll be that good, But like I always think
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 8: about it, like you know, with Booty, you know, can
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 8: he be Dante's stall Worth to you know the rest
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 8: of the group, like in the seven right where he's
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 8: really he's truly the third or fourth guy, but he's
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 8: out there and when he's open, he gets.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: The ball and he makes plays, makes them plays like that.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: That's how I view Booty, Gaffney Stalwart.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he might even be the better one.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: Those guys were good value.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Digson Williams. Digson Williams are the only two that
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: I think are one hundred percent absolute locks. And I
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 5: would hear other comments on any of the other receivers.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 5: Doesn't mean I don't like Booty. I think I grew
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: with Paul. He's really came on in this cam. Like
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 5: Paul said, let him compete, Yeah, no, survive be injury
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: you don't see coming.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 11: Let him say, have any inclinations. What Polk's even dealing
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 11: with right now?
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: It's his shoulder and.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 5: He got in a little bit with a yellow pinion
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 5: into one of the team periods.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: So I think he's trending towards being ready.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's not even like I said, it's not the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 8: injury like I think he'll be. He'll have his opportunity
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 8: to try to make the team and make.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: A push and and all that.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 8: I just, you know, just I've looked at the numbers
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 8: and like a guy that catches twelve passes.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 5: And a.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 9: Last year was an abject failure for him, but it
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 9: was there was something going on and maybe he can
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 9: turn it around.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying he can't.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying he would be an absolute anomaly to
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 8: go from the production he had last year to a
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 8: productive NFL player.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if they have the time, but
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: along those.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 5: Lines, like he's an absolute anomaly already for me, in
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 5: the production he had in camp to absolutely doing nothing.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 5: So I don't know, it's just it's weird.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 6: I watched the Taekwon Thornton. Yeah, I watched the same
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 6: thing with Tyekwon Thornton when he was a rookie. He
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 6: he was very productive campressed with.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: So hard running, but he didn't catch a lot of
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: balls in camp.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, caught everything thrown his way.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 6: He didn't catch the four yard passes that Polpe did,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: but he went down the field and car I wasn't.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 11: Impressed that taekwon to It's like a thing of physics, like,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 11: how can you be that skinny?
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 4: No, no, I'm just telling you. As a rookie in
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: training camp, he looked a part.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 6: I did not call him a bust based on his
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 6: rookie year, and I just I wasn't overly impressed with
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 6: Pop's training camp. Last year was another one that I was,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 6: you know, off in the ether, the old guy yelling
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 6: into the you know, the.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 4: Wilderness that no one was listening to.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 6: I would agree with Evan. I'm not telling I don't
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 6: predict the future. I can't tell you what's going to happen.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 6: I'm just telling you based on what I've seen, I
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 6: don't see the ability. That's why i'd be surprised if
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: he was overly productive. I don't see like, not to
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 6: go all analytic, I don't see a plus skill set.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 4: What is it that he does?
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: What It's like the Red Sox right now? What did
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 4: a Red Sox do well?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 12: Nothing?
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 4: They do nothing? But what.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 6: I thought he was gonna be sort of like a
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 6: physical possession kind of receiver. He started dropping the ball
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: all the time, so I'm not even sure he does
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 6: that well. I don't think he runs away from people.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 6: I don't think he runs great routes, and I don't
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 6: think he has a great attitude. So I'd be very,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 6: very surprised if he turns out to be a productive player.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 8: The separation stuff in college was the big question if
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 8: he was gonna his success or failure was going to
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 8: hang on whether he could get open at this level,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 8: you know, with his speed and with his athleticism, and
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 8: that that piece of it didn't necessarily translate. So now
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 8: everything is finishing through contact at the catch point, right,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 8: He's going to be in crowds, he's going to have
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 8: coverage on him, and can that skill set translate the
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 8: hands and the play strength at the catchpoint, And when
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 8: it didn't as a rookie, like to Paul's point, that
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 8: was just worrisome. So if that's not going to be
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 8: his calling card is the strong hands and the ability
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 8: to box guys out and things like that, and he's
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 8: not going to separate, you know, then how is he
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 8: going to be ultra productive in the NFL. I'm not
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 8: trying like I'm not trying to bury the guy.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: But I just.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 5: Right. But last year they said to themselves that they're
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 5: thrusting him into being like the guy, and he couldn't
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 5: handle it, so it mentally fell apart. I think Fred's thing.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 5: If Diggs and Williams are productive, you don't have to
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: worry about him running away from guys. He can work underneath.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 5: I like him in a call implementary role more than
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 5: I like Booie.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: I would I would worry about his mentality if he
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 6: was that. I think he thinks he's much better than that.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 6: I worry about him, But.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 5: I also think you're basing that. I think you're basing
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 5: that on him, saying I think I have the best
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: hands in the NFL, and and that you catch a
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 5: rookie in a bad moment, trying to stay confident, and
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 5: I believe in myself and I can do what I
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 5: want and you want, and you can take that as that,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 5: or you can take it out. This guy's head's in
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 5: the clouds and he has no idea what he's doing.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 5: I took it that now, this is a rookie kid
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 5: who's not who isn't quite polished. He's having tough times
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: And he misspoke a little bit.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: I'm not holding that against Parabot.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 4: Was like a one time thing that he misspoke a
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: little bit.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 6: I think he had had his feet down, he said
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 6: I I never even put on a game uniform. He
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 6: told the media that he didn't need the fans with
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 6: them because they're not with them. If you're not with them,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 6: we don't need you, Like he rubbed me the wrong
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 6: way before.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: Before.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 10: The first thing for me was when he undermined the
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 10: head coach. When the head coach was trying to smooth
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 10: over take the pressure off him. There was some undermined
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 10: mayo and it's like your coach is trying to keep
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 10: you a foot here with the media.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 11: Just go along with it, don't.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 6: And I also want to be fair because there are
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 6: things that worry me about Booty in that regard too.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: And he had another one.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 6: That I thought showed a lack of sort of awareness
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 6: last week in the aftermath of the Digs thing. I
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 6: think he spoke that day and he told us all, yeah,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 6: Diggs hasn't been around much. I don't think that he
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 6: should have said that, like something I just I worry
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 6: a little bit about the mentality.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 6: The reason I'm okay with Booty it is because I
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 6: think he's produced. Yea, so he might not always talk
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 6: the way I think that the maybe it's I've been
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 6: ingrained and listening to Patriots talk over the years. Well,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 6: Polk has sort of put his foot in his mouth
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 6: a few times, and he hasn't produced. You know, he
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: insisted that he caught the ball in San Francisco, he didn't.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 6: He insisted that he caught the touchdown in my against Miami,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 6: he didn't. I think Alex brings up a great point
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 6: about Gerard sort of saying, you know, you're kind of
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 6: like mentally he's fighting it a little bit.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 4: No, not like I don't. I don't have mental problems.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: Like there were a lot of examples.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 6: Of him showing the lack of awareness and maturity last year,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 6: not just the one time where where he claims he
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 6: had the best hands in the league.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 10: And it goes back to you, this is part of
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 10: why mac collins is here this year. Like, maybe with
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 10: better leadership, none of these issues maturity.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 8: But I don't think that you know that none of
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 8: the reasons why I am concerned about Polka's foot, Paul
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 8: is necessarily saying, I just we knew coming into the
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 8: league that he wasn't going to be a great separator.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 8: And if his hands are not what's carrying him and
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 8: his play strength and his physicality is and what carrying.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: Him, then what's carrying him?
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 12: Right?
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 8: And like that, that would any player that you have
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 8: to have a carrying trade, like what's the one thing
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 8: that you do better than everybody else that makes you
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 8: can hang your hat on and say that this is
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 8: how I'm going to succeed in the league. And if
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 8: that comes back around, if he goes back to playing
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 8: the way he was at Washington in terms of the
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 8: physicality and the hands and all that good stuff, then
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 8: he could definitely start to come on.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: I just I haven't seen that yet as well.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and just to be clear, the other stuff that
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 6: worries me is in the scenario that Mike sort of unfolded,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 6: if all these guys come in at the top and
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 6: they push him down, I don't know if he's a
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 6: guy that would, like Matt Collins, is perfectly content to
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 6: go out there and catch the one target he gets
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 6: a game. Yeah, I'm not sure. Polk fits that kind
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 6: of mold. I think he thinks he's more than that,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 6: and I would worry about him. If he's the fourth
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 6: or fifth receiver and you're not asking him to do much,
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 6: does he go in the tank?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 6: Well it's interesting because when the off field stuff, would
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 6: he learned humility.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 8: Because he was he was in a crowded room at Washington.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 8: So that's like what makes it interesting, Like he clearly
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 8: was not the number one at Washington, like real Madoonese
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 8: was the number one.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 6: And Jalen McMillan was the number two into we got hurt, right,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 6: Otherwise we wouldn't even be talking about.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So I find that part interesting because he has
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 8: been sort of not necessarily complimentary, is probably a little strong,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 8: but he has been part of a group instead of
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 8: just being the guy like a lot of guys like Jalen,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 8: you're at a different something, if you're at a different school,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 8: then Jalen Polk is the number one receiver in college,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 8: but he wasn't, so I don't know a bad school.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: I'd be curious.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 5: I'd be curious what Josh thinks of him as a
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 5: player and how Josh thinks he could use him. But
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 5: I think an element we're not talking about is the
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 5: fact that they had a terrible offense last year with
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 5: not great coaching as well. So you know, those weren't
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 5: the guys to pull him out of a funk, and
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 5: clearly they pushed the wrong buttons to get him.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 9: Let's go back to what Elliott Wolfe said at the
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 9: end of the season. You know, we were counting on it,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 9: and he was talking about the coaching.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 5: No and he's primably sample and everything Paul said is right,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 5: Like I mean, you know, you can read into it.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 5: I think I air sometimes more on the side of
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 5: these are young kids all of a sudden thrust in
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 5: the spotlight, and they're trying to project confidence in themselves
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 5: and their team, and you know, we were doing this
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 5: together and they have that mindset, and it comes across poorly.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 5: Sometimes rookies are best seen and not heard less is more,
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 5: those things are always going to be true for the rookies.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 5: So it's it's a fascinating player. I mean, I think
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 5: it's really fun to watch him this year because he
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: did catch a lot of balls last summer. Does he
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 5: not do it again or does he Let's go to.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: Dave in Toronto. What's up, Dave? Wendy up there?
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 5: Huh No, you're on top of the ctower fining go
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 5: on the road.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 15: That might be it.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 26: Okay, I've been listening for seventeen eighteen years, half of
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 26: my life.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 12: I'm thirty four years old.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 26: It's a long time.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: First time, Wow, where you been?
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 7: I couldn't get through for.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 12: The first couple of times I tried, and I figured.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 16: Listening is just easier afterwards.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 26: Okay, A couple of questions for you guys, Evan. Do
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 26: you guys have access to the tracking data for the
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 26: college receivers. Is that something you guys you know see
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 26: before pre draft in terms of you know, speed and
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 26: and you know how fast you're going on the field,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 26: or is that just NFL.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 3: Teams some of it?
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, some of it trickles out through different
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 8: resources and things like that. But not like a database
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 8: where I could pull up any player anytime.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 24: No.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 26: Yeah, it's not something that's publicly available data. But that
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 26: is something that is out there in the ether somewhere right.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 8: Yes, yes, that's true. This is like real analytics or
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 8: Zebra or whatever.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 27: Yeah, m okay, I'm just like backing up you know,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 27: you see the speed times, but then you see the
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 27: real field of speed times that sometimes there's a big
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 27: discrepency between those two things. And then I have another
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 27: question about the defense if you don't mind, and what
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 27: Babel wants to do. I think is really standing a
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 27: lot of pressure, especially down to the middle through Million
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 27: Williams and that middle of the middle of the field
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 27: or the middle of the defensive line.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 26: Does that mean that ends are going to be pulled
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 26: back a little from really getting after the quarterback? Just
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 26: kind of secure those ends?
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 27: Are all four of those guys really getting after that
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 27: quarterback and that linebackers left to kind.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: Of clean up with me?
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: B Yeah, second one for sure.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Dave.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think all the defensive linemen they're going to
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 8: be four down and they're gonna be attacking. They played
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 8: a lot of like you know, unbalanced lines where they
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 8: had like three guys on one side of the center
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 8: and then just one guy on the arm side of
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 8: the quarterback. And they're running games and stunts and things
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 8: like that, and they like to get after.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: It to get creative.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 5: But I still think it's going to be a totally
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 5: total departure from what we're kind of used to, especially
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 5: on early downs where it's stop the run on the
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 5: way to the quarterback, get off the snap.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm excited because with Carlton Davis and Gonzalez, how
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 9: that opens things up other people.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the four down stuff's exciting.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 8: Like we haven't really experienced the defense that plays four down,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 8: defensive line and hand in the dirt, teeing off like
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 8: that's not really a Bill thing, So we haven't really
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 8: seen that in a while around here.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 5: I think the part of that is going to be
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 5: there'll probably be some big plays and they're going to
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 5: be from time to time they're gonna get gash, they're
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 5: going in the sky ahead, Yeah, and they'll be there'll
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 5: be seams that they get exploited. But I think you'll hope.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 5: The hope is you make more place than you give up.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: Chris is in England.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 12: Hey, Chris, good afternoon, good evening.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, good evening.

• 1:49:21
  Speaker 12: fifteen years. They'll be listening and it's the first time

• 1:49:29

• 1:49:33
  Speaker 12: You should to enjoy listening to it. Fortune in Foxborough
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 12: was great, thank you, although everybody, I think it will
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 12: be pulled a bit dirty when he had his part
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 12: and didn't nobody spot the wild hair that was floating
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 12: off the top of them at the point.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, is what it is.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: A straight here.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 12: I just wanted to talk about walk on music.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 7: If my name?
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 1:50:03

  Speaker 2: Walk on music?
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you were talking last week about walk on music,
• 1:50:09

• 1:50:12
  Speaker 12: football team, Tottenham Hots there recent European champions, come out to.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 12: And I also have another song which I think will

  Speaker 12: make you quite a music Ford. So we come out
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 12: to Duel of Fates and Star Wars.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's like.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 12: The other song that we have that is sometimes played
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 12: on the PA but also just sometimes the fan sing
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 12: it is from your good friend Barry Manilo mhm me
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 12: and the idea.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 5: Of what it might be pop. You just saw him
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 5: perform live. Now what'd he come out to?
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 12: So I'm going to have to sing it because we
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 12: have that. We've sort of interjected with the chart of Tottenham,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 12: so it's you know, small.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 7: Fantastic.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 9: So when you sing it, do you have your arm
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 9: on each other's shoulders and you go back and forth
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 9: a big single yeah along the scarfs yep, the scarfs yep,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 9: and then you beat the crap out of No. I

• 1:51:23
  Speaker 12: I like it, but also the last one doesn't get
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 12: many shouts out, but I'd like to congratulate him. A
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 12: couple of weeks ago you had an irishman and I
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 12: don't think he was talking much then, and Mac, assuming
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 12: Matt is the person doing it, he cleverly put on
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 12: thanks for nothing from Caddy shot.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 9: Maybe chuckle everybody, Thanks Chris, Thanks listening for fifteen years.

  Speaker 8: Absolutely a couple of years for Tottenham recently, not exactly
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 8: at the top of the.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 3: Taste that scouts team.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: His was Chelsea, wasn't it.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 3: It's a wagoner I've ever seen one I remember.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: Just tell about the Bundesliga. I'm like, what is that?
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 2: The German leg That's not That's why we were for
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: Bayern Munchin although they didn't win last year.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 3: Was it a Burusha Doorman one?
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 9: Bill Wright saying if you could go back and watch
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 9: one game live for the first time, which is it one?
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 9: The Patriots Squished the Fish Game eighty six, Conference Finals,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 9: the Celtics bird steals the ball versus Detroit. The Bruins
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 9: come back versus Toronto down three goals in Game seven
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 9: twenty thirteen, the Red Sox Game four versus Yankees to
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 9: start the comeback, or BC Flutie Hail Mary versus Miami.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: Definitely the Bruins.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 11: That Bruins game was unbelievable.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 8: I'll never forget, Like, I feel like i'd want to
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 8: go back to like squish the Fishers on.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 10: But do you remember watching that live? Like, yeah, into
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 10: the late hour. Oh god, I got to break curfew
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 10: that night.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 5: Mine would be bird Steal Detroit.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 3: It's a good one.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: She was just to make me feel so bad about
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 6: myself that you had to break curfew to watch.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 11: I was in high school. Yeah, I was eighteen.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 4: I was in Washington, d C. I actually didn't see
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 4: it live.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 5: Thirteen.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah I watched that one.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I definitely saw that one live. But I've seen
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 8: that one so like I would want to go back
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 8: to the games.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 4: No, But I mean I get what your point. I'm
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 4: going to go to something.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 6: I'm going to lean to it something I hadn't seen,
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 6: but he was saying, if you had a chance to
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 6: watch it, as if you had never seen it, I
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 6: live it as if you've.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 3: But also like the tough part about that one is
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 3: I know they don't go on to win the Cup.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: So it's just like that was bitter.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like if you would enjoy the moment, well, it's
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 5: it's a spoiler, like they didn't win the Super Bowl
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 5: in eighty five either.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 10: The eleven run where they had a game was it
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 10: also against forget Who, but it went into like it
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 10: felt like seven overtimes.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: They've had in the Cup Final.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 8: They've had quite a few games run the multiple, So
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 8: thirteen against the Blackhawks, they had a free overtime game.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 11: It was more than that the one I'm thinking of, I.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: Think the Blackhawks it was three.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: I think they had a triple overtime game in the
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 6: ninety finals against Edmonton.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: Peter Kleima, Peter Klema.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, lights and the end of the was not the
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 4: lights out wasn't the lights out game? No, the lights
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 4: out game was eighty eight.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 5: Oh that was two days.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 9: Okay before h Dan and Virginia Michigan, while surprised this
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 9: is for Evan. While surprising your bride with a musical
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 9: performance would generally be a good thing, I would encourage
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 9: Evan to crunch the numbers on this one. If Jess
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 9: associates his saxophone with one of his former girlfriends, she
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 9: might regard Evan breaking out of sacks at the wedding
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 9: as if he thought along, as if he brought along
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 9: the old girlfriend.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 5: No, no, he's writing, he's writing wrong.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 8: Just for the record, was not an old girlfriend I
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 8: wish was an old your girlfriend?
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 4: Doubling down that girl?
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 3: But amazing because I think what the sacks? Maybe probably
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 3: I said she was she was out of my leaks.
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 3: It was Jess, But like you know that one I
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 3: got lucky dated drummers. Yeah, maybe that was what it was.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 9: Speaking of Evan's dating life, I suggested on X that
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 9: Paul and Deuce should have a movie date with Evan
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 9: to go see Jaws at fifty, the definitive inside story.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 9: Then I remember that movies actually aren't the best dates
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 9: because you can't talk to one another. So, as an
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 9: off season conversation topic, what are your ideas for a
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 9: good date or what's the best date you've been on?
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 8: That's a bad take movies are a great date great
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 8: like not like if it's like a first date, but
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 8: like if you if you're great date.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 5: First date, coffee, get coffee and talk first.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 6: Date, I think, yeah, something very low key, low pressure,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 6: like not a full dinner. Yeah, just to sort of
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 6: get to talk and get to know each.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 5: Trying to myself. Like one time in life before texting
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 5: and stuff, I like walked up to a girl that
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 5: I kind of had been talking to and just asked
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 5: her out on it, like you want to go out
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 5: on a date, And she was not that excited.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 4: About I have to set before yet this is a
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 4: different girl.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 5: This is post that was post girlfriend.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 2: This is a you know, trying to But then that's
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: what we did. We just had coffee.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 5: We didn't hit it off, it didn't it didn't go anywhere,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 5: but I was proudly at least one time in my
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 5: life I walked up to a girl in person and
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 5: was like, would you like to go out on a
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 5: date with me? You know, I think it's hard to do.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 5: I think young guys are terrified.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 3: I think we need to get out of they don't
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: perspect it, they don't do it.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 5: No, And now it's all easy because you just text
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 5: and you're like, you know, like you don't have to
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 5: ever have thesee they haven't been on an actual date
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 5: a long time.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 10: Like I like a sports game honestly because you can,
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 10: like if the conversation dies off, you can watch the
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 10: game and tiland.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 5: For a golf date.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, golfs like but then you're stuck.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 11: I'm a whustler for like, I'm a hustler golf.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 4: It's like I've got made fun of for saying miniature
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 4: golf is a great.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: That's a great.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 4: People have made fun of me. That's good. I used
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 4: to do that from time.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 2: So when you did it, did you try to win?
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 21: No?
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 11: You just have it's not too long too. You get
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 11: an ice cream cone after the.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 4: One for French Richardson's down.
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 10: I used to be like, Okay, if you're you're not
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 10: taking me out to dinner on the first date, you're
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 10: scrub and you're not trying hard enough. But then I
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 10: realized my time is way too valuable to be locked
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 10: into a dinner date.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 4: That why would do the dinner followed by the miniature
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: golf a lot?
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 11: If it goes well, you say, hey, let's scrub dinner
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 11: and if not see.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 5: I think minister is great for a little flirty back
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 5: and forth like oh you got this one?
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, like.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 3: It's a lot then there is.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 4: You really are something else. It's supposed to keep us
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 4: out of trouble.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: Well, there's like a lot of.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 9: Stuff going on with miniature golf. There's holes, there's putters,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 9: you know, there's.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 5: All kinds of What was the argument for people saying
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 5: that miniature golf is a bad date because I think
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 5: that's an excellent first.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 3: Day, you know what they say, stupid, I agree, but
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: a good first date.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 3: Because it's like an activity.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 2: What about taking her to a sporting event?
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 4: That's what I said, Thanks for listening.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 10: And then I get to be like, hey, I'm cool,
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 10: I actually know stuff about the sports.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 8: Well, I feel like an activity, like you know, it's
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 8: probably best because like if you can't, like the conversation
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 8: dies down and sitting across the table from her, like
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 8: then what are you what next?
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 3: Right now?
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 8: So if you're mini golfing or something like that, then
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 8: that occupies some of the time and maybe gets some
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 8: of the awkwardness out.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 3: You know, Okay, this is my bar should listen to
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 3: this part of this.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 4: Travis was the kids thing to do, like, you know,
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 4: adults don't do that, you know.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 6: I think that was kind of like the pushback and
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 6: it wasn't a lot but what But I had mentioned
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 6: it a couple of times and I was like, minute
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 6: golf the wrong So now I was like, why.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 11: Would you want to be with someone take them?
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: Tis that?

  Speaker 9: Afterwards, chrissed, I love it this those days, Travis in
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 9: West Virginia, as I want to do, I'm asking a
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 9: non football question today since Alex is there, I figured
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 9: I get a more balanced answer. A co worker of
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 9: mine and for me that she has four best friends.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 9: I told her that wasn't possible. You can only have
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 9: one best friend.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 4: Girls do this a lot?
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 11: Girls do this I'm guilty. I'm so guilty.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 9: Actually, freshman year of college, everybody becomes the best friend
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 9: by November.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: They hate each other.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 10: Well, I have Morgan, we've known each other since first grade,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 10: and it's college together, my best friend. But then you
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 10: have like your work bestie, your adult bestie, your college bestie,
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 10: Like I don't know, I have, I have a like
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 10: I have a group of four and the four of
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 10: us are super tight. They're my four besties, including Morgan, Morgan,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 10: and then but then, like I was with all my
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 10: high school friends this past weekend and like, we've all
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 10: known each other twenty years. We were talking about this
• 2:00:05

  Speaker 2: I gotta get this out quick.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 5: We're out of time. But I have such a ran
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 5: on this. I hate when people are like, I want
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 5: my wife to be my best friend. I'm like, you can't.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 5: Your spouse can't be your best friend. Your best friend
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 5: needs to be somebody different than your spouse. Your spouse
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 5: is your spouse.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 4: It's another window into the deuce.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 5: I got, I got Passionate knows my feelings on this.
• 2:00:24

• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: have a best friend and a spouse.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 5: Your spouse is your spouse. That's even more special than
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 5: a best friend, So don't try to like combine them
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 5: into two.
• 2:00:31
