  Speaker 4: I didn't always just sit around and let all this
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: let these other nubes do all the work. How they
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: played offensively is how they want to play.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: But you're worried about it, Yeah, they want to be
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: couldn't be worried about it?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: No, I'm that's something that I don't think a lot

  Speaker 4: of people are.

  Speaker 4: Should I think he just put me in I.

  Speaker 2: Thought like we were doing picks.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, he put me in the grinder.

  Speaker 2: This is Patriots Unfiltered, presented by Toyota's official website. For
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: deals buy a Toyota dot com. All right, welcome the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Patriots Unfiltered. It is Thursday here at Jillette Stadium, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we're here for the next two hours talking Patriots as
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: we always do on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday during the football season.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It's Paul, It's me. Later on it'll be Deuce and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Evan and Alex.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: We're hoping. Alex had some some car issues coming in
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So car issues hoped she blew.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Out a tire. Oh oh, that's because she didn't, you know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: take your advice.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get those bridge stones in the run flats. That's right,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you get those run flats. You can at least make
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: it the worst.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Trying to think of the term run.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, while you're at work, you can somebody come and
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: take care of it. You know, she's probably running on
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: those baloney tires.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: You gotta well, that's generally what I do.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I tell my wife. I tell my wife, you gotta
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: take care of your car. You have to make you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: got to get it tuned up. You gotta, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: maintain your tires. Look at the tread, stick your finger
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in that tread and see what's going on. And don't
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: wait because at the end of the day, if something happens,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I'm the one that's gonna have to take care of it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So you gotta take care of everybody.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: You know the seriousness that Fred took that because when
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: he directs it right at the camera, that's a message
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: directly to you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: That's right. It's a public service announcement. It's a public
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: all right, Paul. So what do we got? We got
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the first injury reporter.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: We do we do the week? You know, first, I'll
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: just you know, sort of set the scene for the day.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: We just had a chance to listen to the offensive
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: coaching staff.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Last week.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: We had the defensive coordinator DeMarcus and I have.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: A question about what something Alex van Pelt said.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: We get to that, but we did hear, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Van Pelt spoke from the podium, and then we had
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: access to a handful of the offensive coaches. Scott Peters,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: we got Taylor Embury, the running backs, coach, Tyler Hughes,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the wide receivers coach Bignell. I think it's Bob Bignell,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the tight ends coach. So we had a chance to
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: talk to a handful of the offensive coaches, but I'm
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: going to go right to you, Fred, because it sounds
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: like you have something specific about Alex van Pell.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I wasn't. I didn't hear it live. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: was just I've been in meetings and I was just
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: kind of looking at some of the quotes that have
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: been tweeted out. One of the things he said is
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: back to the Bengals game, there were stuff that he
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: wished was on the play sheet that wasn't. And I'm wondering,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: does that mean because Drake May wasn't in the game
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and the playbook was limited, or is it just stuff
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that he overlooked.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I took it to be that there's stuff that he
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: hasn't gotten to yet that he wished he had. Okay,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: So that's how I took it. So, I mean, because
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't have more stuff available with May than No.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But you'd have different stuff maybe.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Different, but you have more available. So we didn't have
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: some available on it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So it was volume it wasn't the type of stuff.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what he said, Like, I'm just wondering.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't love it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's itching to get Drake May in there, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that's a subtle shot to get him in there.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I didn't take it that Okay, I like it as
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: there was stuff that we haven't put in yet. But
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I just would wonder, like either that or stuff I
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: didn't have, Like I mean, if you take it literally,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: it wasn't on my sheet, so you couldn't call it
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: because it wasn't on your sheet. You know, it's not listed.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: But I think it's more probably the former, you know
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: about just the breath of options probably isn't not everything
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: is in yet.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Because I guess I was hoping that maybe he was saying, yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you realize, you know what we're The type of plays
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: were limited with Jacoby, and I could see in that
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: game that if we had had somebody who could get
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the ball down field, who could throw on the move
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit better, we would have had some options
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: in the.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Latter part for sure, because I think May does throw
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: better on the run. I think getting the ball downfield,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, Jacoby Brissett is an NFL quarterback. He can
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: throw the ball down.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Accurate too on the move.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Is that's a different that's a different argument.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, anything else that you picked out of the offensive coach.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: So there was one thing that he said that and
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I haven't really looked at Twitter to see, like he
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: made a comment that he was surprised that they didn't
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: see more pressure. They didn't get more pressure against Cincinnati,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: and I think people couldn't take a step back and say,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: oh my god, they were pressured on in some by
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: some metrics fifty percent of the past place. But I
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: think he was talking about in terms of blitz pressure,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and they didn't. Cincinnati did not blitz very often in
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the game. I think that's what he was talking about.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: So maybe.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: It caught them off guard a little bit that they
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: didn't send extra rushers and therefore they had some things
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: maybe lined up to beat that kind of pressure, you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: and they didn't get a chance to use that stuff,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you know. Again, kind of trying to read between the
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: lines a little bit. But overall, I thought Pelts outed
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: pretty happy with the performance in the first game.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: You know, obviously some.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Things they need to clean up, but he felt I
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: think he was pretty pretty satisfied with the first effort. Okay,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: didn't you get that impression? I mean, you listen to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: it after the fact.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't get to listen. I just said I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: was just looking at tweets that were sent out.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I know you said you didn't see it, you didn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: hear it live. Yeah, but yeah, I nothing really stood out.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: But the comment that he made about the play the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: play sheet definitely caught my ear as well as yours.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: So I don't know exactly what he meant by it,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: but I'm not just missing you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And of course our media didn't follow up on that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: No.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: And I will say this too well, I mean we
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: spend a lot of time sort of critiquing and analyzing
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the media, and we don't need to do that. I'm
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: guilty of that more than probably anybody. So I'm pointing
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the finger at myself on that. Yeah, I think there's
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of questions that don't need.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: To be asked.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I just I think there are questions that you know, like,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: you know, the left tackle didn't make it through the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: first quarter, right, what happened? No one asked, right, Like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know?
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, I just look at it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: It's football like, it's not like World peace. I know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: like you can't ask him a tough question. That's not
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: even that tough, right. You know the guy played twelve plays.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah and jukes right and was never seen from again.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll see today because we'll get our practice
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: report later on.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: So it is interesting the you know, you you would
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: sort of previewed that Freddie Seattle Is is dealing with
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: some injuries right out of the gate. Now I told
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: you about their offensive line situation yesterday. They're starting, uh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: left tackle opened on pup, so veteran George Fance played
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: right tackle in the opener. He didn't make it through
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: the first quarter.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So to the third one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: You know, another player had to come in, you know
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: for the third one. So Fant did not practice yesterday
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: with that knee injury. So I would say that it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: not looking good for him. In addition to fans though,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Tyrrell Dotson and h Uchenna Nuasu there are two starting linebackers. Yep,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: neither one of them practiced. Nuasu has already been declared out.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: They said he's not going to play. I would think
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: against the Patriots, Fred your inside linebackers are somewhat important players,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: don't you think I would think so. The Patriots, we think,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: are going to want to try to run the football,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and if you don't have those guys available, I think
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: that makes the task of stopping the run a little
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: bit more difficult. So I don't know about dotson situation.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: He's listed as a shoulder, but Nuasu, as I said,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I read something that said they've already said that he
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: will not play. Fant is up.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: In the air.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: And the biggest one out of all is Kenneth Walker,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: because I think that's the one that their offense revolves around.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: He's uh, he did d n P with an oblique
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the oblique a as I like to say. So four
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: starting players for Seattle did not participate in the first
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: practice of the week. That's a good sign for New England.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: And meanwhile, City Sow is the only Patriot who didn't practice.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Well, when you're the aggressor, believe it or not, there's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: less chance of getting hurt. And we're definitely the aggressor
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: When you when you're hitting everybody and you're the hammer
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: and there the nail nail gets hurt.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That's right. So let's keep let's keep that aggression. But
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Seattle wants to hit you in the mouth too.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're that type of team as well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: So here's another thing that I didn't really give much
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: thought to. And I'm going to give Greg Bdard credit
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: because I mean, I don't know why I didn't give
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it much thought. But Greg asked Alex van pelt question
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: about his familiarity with Mike McDonald from Baltimore, you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And obviously we made a lot of Van pelts comfort
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: level going against Cincinnati last week because it's a division
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: opponent for him, it's Baltimore too, so he went against
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: McDonald defenses while with the Browns, you know, and while
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: McDonald's with the Ravens. So I think that's another uh,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: you know, small edge for the Patriots heading into this game. Okay,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying. I'm just saying, Fred, So I don't want.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: To give it a look for and you know, can
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: we move the you know, the time of the game
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: up to like noon or eleven o'clock just to make
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: it a little tougher on the Seahawks.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting that that's not a huge thing anymore.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: The traveling.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think I think people know how to travel.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like back in the day, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: traveling wasn't as convenient, wasn't as comfortable nowadays. I know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: like you know, for the Patriots, we've got their own plane,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the bigger seats, everything's taken care of for the player.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So like you don't, they don't. You don't really lose
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: any sleep.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Certainly, they study this stuff so much, and they you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: they have.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: You know, the.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Body clock is something that they really they take into
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: account a lot of these details, sleep studies and things
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: like that and imprission.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Have we confirmed that Seattle's coming in on Friday?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I have not confirmed that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming they might.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: You know, I just was, you know, I was listening
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: to some of the information on my shows yesterday, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: teams coming west to play on the Eastern time zone
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: actually have a winning record in the last whatever handful
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: of seasons it is. And I do think some of
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: that is overblown both ways too, because you know, is
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: it like the Niners playing in the mental lands against
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: the Jets when you know, when the Jets were playing
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: with Zach Wilson, Yeah, you know, they probably is probably
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: going to win that game, whether they were ready to play.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The time that Kansas City goes east that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Well, that's not a West Coast team. But you said
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: west coast like from the Pacific time zone to the
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Eastern times or they.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Count like so three hours, okay, so it has to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: be that rams that time Dodgers Seahawks. All right, Friday
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Raiders will included in the raiders.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, were I think? Now, well, this space is still
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: still three hours, right.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: They land here on Friday, they are coming Friday.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: I don't remember the West Coast teams doing the the Saturday.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: You know what hotel they're in because they got to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: pull those fire alarms three in the morning.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: You gotta get on that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I can effort that.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: So I just was a little surprised that the records
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: a little bit better than I would have thought.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: All Right, what else we got.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Well we can find out we got
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: we can find out, now what's going on in the
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: locker room that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: He goes into the locker room. All jingle is.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Get back. That's right, Hi, Mike, I'm back. Hello you
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: on how are you guys?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Back from the locker room?
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Back from the locker room, yeah, it was good, good
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: good stuff.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: What on strike today?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, they didn't shave, you know.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I'm growing a beard.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Actually, are you really?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I just want to bank everybody mad because
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of people here. When you don't shave,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: they're like, you didn't shave. It's like my dad like,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I feel like I'm back in high school, like, no,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: shave your face.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: And that's why you're growing just to mad.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: No, But I was just like today, I don't really
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: feel like it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I was a little lazy.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So but seriously, it's a little friend. So you're not
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: growing about.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I used to do that though. I used to grow
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: one in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, a little tradition I
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: had back in La. But it's too gray now. I
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: feel like it'll be.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Because it was beard. You'll lose that fifty sitcom dapping.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Right right right. Maybe just the mustache. Maybe I'll just
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: grow that. We'll see how that looks.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I like the gray and the beard. Maybe it's because
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: it's all my hair is white.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: So Paul, you're always telling me about handsome as you're
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: wicked hair. You're my biggest fan, said a million times.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Start talking to Laine about it a little bit.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Lane doesn't like it. Lane not a fan. You gotta
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: shave the face for the lady, right, Yeah, need this softless.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: So what are we going on in the locker room?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Oh a little bit, you know, just talking to a
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: lot of people. How crazy it is in there now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: It's just it's so different, And talking to some of
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the reporters, it was there's just so much going on
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: now and there's so many more players and everybody is
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: able to talk to everybody. And I think you're seeing
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: some of the news now where you know, everybody's getting
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: something different now. It's not like, yeah, it's not the
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: past where all right, we had three stroll today and
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: this is you know, and this is what the three
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: guys said, and that's it. There's a lot more stuff like.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: The thing that we talked about that, you know, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Evan told us a little bit about it yesterday, like
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: he's talked to Drake May and you know, sort of
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: got a peek into the window of what his first
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: week as.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: The backup was. Like he just posted it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: By the way, so go to Patriots dot Comence people.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Probably don't know what we're talking about like in the past,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: when there's only one or two guys there, if all
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the media goes to one guy, everybody gets the same
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: story because they're all at the same availability. But what
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Mike Reese used to do is when the scrum would
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: go this way, he'd go the other way and pick
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: off the one guy that was by himself. So Reese
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: would always try to have something different than what the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: herd was writing about.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: But it's a lot easier to do that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's now easy to do that, and I think for
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the fan it's much better because you know, you'll go
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: around you'll read Callahan from the Herald and or you'll
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: read Karen from Clinis, mass Live, mass Live and sorry,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and you'll get different things.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: Yea.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: And that's that's been my goal. And I mean the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: you know, first couple of years I wrote the Notebook,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and you know, it was a lot of that, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: then last couple of years kind of gotten away from
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: it a little bit. But now it's that's the goal
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: every day, is to go and find stuff on my
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: own that you know, and and write my own stories
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and not just and here's what everybody's you know, everyone
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: knows that stuff that's just the way it was when
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: we first started, you know, when Brian was still here,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: and Brian and I would do that, we'd we'd we'd
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: sit down, you know, half hour before and say, all,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: you know what, what are some of the things that
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: we can sort of target. Yeah, and we would go
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: in you know, I don't want to say with a plan,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: because you never know, right until you get pushed in
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the face your plan.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: But we would go in with the plan, and you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: at least one of us would get something different, and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: then one of us would make sure that we're in
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: on those big scrums in case, you know, the.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Story of the day. You got to have the story
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: of the day too.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: You know, like oh, Randy Moss talked, yeah, right, you know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: like he talked infrequently, so someone had to be in
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: the scrum.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: And then someone would go and yeah, that's FW.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I've been kind of looking at it with you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett speaks like he's starting quarterback. You got to
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: you know, show him. But now let's get into you know, today,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I want to write about the tight end. So talk
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to Bob Bick now about the tight ends. Then went
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: into the locker room, talk to Austin Hooper, you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: so it's uh, it's good. I mean sometimes you start
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: to do it and then the scrum comes in and
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh, crap, everyone's gonna have this. But uh,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: you know, got enough today, and yeah, it's just I
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: think it's it's definitely better for the fans.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: So with the.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Times, and again this is inside baseball. I know people
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: don't care about the plights of the media, but the
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: timing of locker room now makes it more conducive to
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: do the stuff that Mike and Fred just talked about.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: It's amazing because there's more players available because they have
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: to be here because they're going out to practice.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: And I'd say this like in the past, when the
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: locker rooms at the end of the day, the last
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: thing you want to do at five point thirty is
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: all right, now it's time to write, and you got it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Now It's like I have the show to kind of
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: think about what guys said and think about what I
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: want to write about it, and have some time to
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: kind of marinate on it and you know, write something
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: better than just you know, it's seven o'clock and I'm like,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I just want to eat dinner, Like you know, get
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: this thing out. So I just I think this whole
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: new setup has been really good.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: In the locker room today, I did not see.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I did not see it, so.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: That would have been something, you know. I you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I was in on Taylor Embree a little bit and
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: just having him listening to him talk about He sort
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: of said that he felt like Stevenson's style is really
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: conducive to this. He loves Stevenson, you know. He talked
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a lot about how many guys he made miss in
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: the game. Van Peltz mentioned that as well. I think
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: he had fourteen for the running back room in the game.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Fourteen forced misstackles, not broken tackles, forced guys to miss,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: So that's a pretty it sounds like a pretty high
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: number to me. But Embry was explaining how it's almost
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: like a spread offense for a wide receiver, like you
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: sort of get a chance to pick and choose your
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: spot and you know you're going to get a high volume,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: and he thought that was really good for Stevenson. Tamara
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: asked Embury about Stevenson's Brissette's comment that Stevenson had gone
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: to him in the game and said, no more zone.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Let's just go at him. Let's get that field, let's
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: go with the gap scheme. And you know, Embry said, yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: you know, when you get a guy who who's going
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: like that and they're on the field, they're the ones
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: that are experienced, they're seeing it on the field. So yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: you take that a consideration. So I thought that was
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: interesting too, just as another example of maybe not being
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: with the herd with everybody. You know, you sort of
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: pick and choose where you go and sometimes you can
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: get a nugget or too.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I asked you Ardy about it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I was just like, is how different is this because
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I was only really there like twenty nineteen when you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: then the twenty twenty happened and it was kind of
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: recess because night and day it is. That's that's the
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: same thing he said. So, I mean, at the end
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: of the day, I think it's just it's great for
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: the fans. There's gonna be a lot more stuff to read,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and you know, you're not gonna get You're not gonna
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: what Evan wrote in posted just a little bit ago.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: You're you're not.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Gonna get that anywhere else, you know. I mean, that's
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: and I think that's something that's really interesting in the fans.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: What's he doing behind the scenes.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it helps everybody. Did you listen
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to a v P and what what was your interpretation
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of the You know, there were plays I wish were
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: on my path.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: It was interesting.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: That was interesting.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean, honestly, I kind of chalk
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: it up a little to inexperience, and I mean, and
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: also a new offense, a new team, not really knowing
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: exactly what you're gonna need for the game plan. But
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I think what stood out most to me is that
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: he continued, like I kind of feel a divergence. I
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: feel like Mayo was telling us we're gonna run the ball.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: We're gonna run the ball, and I feel like a
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: VP still given the line of we're gonna morph week
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to week and it be a game plan offense.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Said Okay, this week he has been saying, both of
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: them have been saying we're gonna run, run, run, run, run,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: and and this week they both kind of said, I mean,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I think they probably realized, like, we can't say that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I said, what's common sense? If they're going to load
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the box, We're not gonna run into a brick wall.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I just wondered, they're gonna come out spread, you know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: like this week, Like I would assume Seattle is going
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: to say, we're not gonna let Ramandra Stevenson beat us.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: So maybe they just come right out and they're like, Okay,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: we're gonna just spread you out and and try to
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: pick you apart. I mean that might be extreme, but.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So I was kind of hoping that what AVP meant
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: was like a little shot at you know, if I
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: had Drake Mayon there, I would have had more plays downfield,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: on the run or whatever. But you know, Gary writes
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: in and I think he's right. He said what a
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: VP meant was that there were flaws in his own
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: game plan, and he was self criticized.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think so that you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: just didn't quite have everything that he wanted. And I'm
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: sure that he knows like a lot more than he's
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: been able to install yet, and those he probably hasn't
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: gotten of those things and didn't have that you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: left punch.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: So we talked about it a little bit, Fred and
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: I and I hadn't really thought about Fred's angle. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: don't really think that was it. I just felt like
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: there was stuff that they don't have in yet. Yeah, Like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: if it's stuff that they had in and he's looking
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: on his play sheheet, it's not like he doesn't know it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think that. I don't think that's the reason
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: either what the email or said, Like, I don't think
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: he's being self critical. I think he's lamenting that we'd
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I wish I had more at my disposal that they
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: don't have yet, not that he didn't like think of
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: a play.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, I think he knows all the
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: plays he's been in although system.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I'll bet you you know, if he is doing his
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: own self scouting. You know, it's his first time calling
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: plays in a game and I don't know twenty years.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure that there was stuff like he wished
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: he had done that.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Right, But I don't think that you would say I
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: wish there was stuff on my play sheet. No, I
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: think he would say, yeah, you know, we had some
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: opportunities and I should have missed when I called that,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah that I missed. Yeah, you know, but he said
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I wish we had more on the playsheet, right. I
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: think they use that exact phrase, who.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Makes the playsheet him? Right?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he obviously knows all the plays, and if
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: it was if there's in other words, if I'm calling
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: the plays and I have a sheet with ten plays
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: on it, I know there's you know ten others. I'm like,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: you know what would really work here? It's not on
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: the sheet, but I'm gonna call it anyway.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Would it be creazy any type of conversation? He said,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: you know what, let's bring in a VP, and he
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: would just walk through the door and answer the question.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: It's more fun to speculate.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: We just need like like a like a Neon sign
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: right up with like an arrow pointing in like Patriots coach, Like,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: you know, we just flashed with when we want as
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: they go to two minutes, two minutes coming in here, we.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: We have an can you send down just for two minutes?
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: What is it this time? Guys?
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think all of these things are in play
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: like it's it was kind of unclear. I thought it
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: was interesting though, and Fred Fred's may thing.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I love it because I'm I'm on record now. I think,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: what did I say by game six, he'll be in.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you just changed all the time. It
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: was game one.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I was wrong with game one, but I was close.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I was. I had to think about it. But I'm
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: saying by game six he will be the story.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: First there was a couple, then it was a few,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: then it was a handful, and then it was a
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: half dozen.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Then there was several. The confusion, I think a handful,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: a few, and several.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: A handful could be up to five, several was three,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: A dozen, then it was a Baker's dozen.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Five.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: We got to bring that out in the in the pregame.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: This week we have more clarification.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Fred curs.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: We can go right up limiting five a handful to five.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: All right, what else before we open it up because
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: we do have to hurry today we have picks.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I should. I don't know if you
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: guys are aware, but unfortunately young Alex had a uh
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: the disaster, not disaster, but.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Bop the tire.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: So she might be she might have to she might
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: be calling in and she doesn't have the run flats.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: She might have to go to you know, bridgetwn. Maybe
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: you got to get those runs, Suan, Yeah, very very new.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: You get one hundred dollars off this month from Sullivan Tire.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: The sad part was we had in the in our
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: bullpen yesterday we had a long conversation about just how
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: frustrating car problems are, and they come out of nowhere
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: and then literally she's like, guess what happened? And then
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: a picture flat tires. So so you don't think she'll
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: be here. I think she's gonna maybe call in. I
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: don't know if she if she don't like the cold,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: if you're listening in that coffee shop across from wherever
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: you are getting your tire fix.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I don't do drugs.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so she's too bad to start.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: So little little preview, Paul, you don't want to have
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: to get. But if you were atlex, would you want
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to be here today?
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: I think it was a reasonably good start for everybody.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, felt pretty good about it. I'm not bad
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: about my pick, so because I forget who I picked,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the reason why.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I would say there was good moments for everybody, and
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: there were some not so good moments for everybody. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I would say the overall picks, some were better than others,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: but I would say with the spread some.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Others, we're better than correct.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: All right, if everybody had some I do you think
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I picked the one, and that's probably we all picked
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: the Giants. That might be we should all be suspended
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: from take a lap because it's one thing to like. Like,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: you know, I picked Indy to pull an upset. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: was the only one. You know, we lose twenty nine
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: to twenty seven. Like I took a shot. I'm wrong,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: they covered, but I took a shot. They lost the Giants.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Like I mean, I I honestly I didn't see it
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: coming where the Giants were going to be competing for
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: the worst team in the league. But I should have
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: see I did. Yeah, I should I should have because.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Everybody and their brother had three teams in that mix
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: and one of them one.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: I think I feel a little validated because that would
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: be the Patriots watching hard knots. I just felt like this,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: these guys, I don't know, these guys know what they're doing.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Like I like Dable, but Joe Shane, I don't. I
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: don't know, man, I did a lot of heat, get a.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Lot of heat. But Dabel's body language in those hard
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: knocks told me he wanted it to be known that
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not on board with what's going on here, you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: And I think the finger pointing if it hasn't already started,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: it's going to start there.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Well, it's so hard when you're on Hard Knocks, like
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: with all your off season moves and all your plans,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: and now there's like a record that's available to everybody
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: about how you discuss these moves. I mean, you know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: it's like, I'm not just right. You get to approve
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: all this, yeah, but but you have no way of knowing, right, Like,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: at the point you're approving it, you don't realize that
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a disc someone.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Who didn't watch any of Hard Knocks. You're telling me
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: that the impression was that Shane was doing things that
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Dabel didn't like.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I didn't really get that impression as much. I definitely
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: would say this for a long time John Marra didn't like.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Was kind of like, well, I know John Mayra is
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: on record is saying he didn't agree with the decision
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: to get move on from Yeah. That was That's different
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: than Table doesn't doesn't believe in Shane.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Now Table will just.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Like, but he learned that from Bill, because that's exactly
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: how Bill used to do with me and Brian Moore.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Just slouched down arm over the head.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, table lost a lot of weight too, did he
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I think so? I think he did.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he does tend to fluctuate, Brian, Yeah, all right.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: In season eight five five PATS five hundred is the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: TPX hotline web radio at pagries dot com is the
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: email address. Might as well just open it up. We'll
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: see what people have to say, what topics of conversation
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: they want to get into. We'll start with Alex in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: San Diego. What's up, Alex?
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: Hey, guys, what's going on?
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Agree with you?
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: I do think the I do think the Giants are
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: an absolutely mess right now. It was really interesting watching
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: Hard Knocks. But anyway, superstoked on win Sunday. These are
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: definitely like the type of games we did not win
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: over the last three years. But I know Evan's not
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: here yet. I know, I don't know if you guys
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: know what the dealers tackle. Maybe you guys that practice
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: supports over the last couple of days. But I know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: Paul you touched on it earlier. But this position needs
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: to be addressed, and we can't. Can't have guys mixed
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: up in in and out like every two plays.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like low was at the starting left
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: tackle spot in practice yesterday, so.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: They played the balance of the game.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: It wasn't it out, yeah, right started, that came out.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: And Aian Low played the rest of it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: But the bigger point is tackle is still an issue still.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: You can't have six linemen on every play. That's limiting.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That takes away from your playbook for sure, and that's
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: what they had to do in a lot of plays eighteen.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of snaps, play with an extra tight
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: end that's not necessarily going to be a receiver.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Right yeah. Yeah, So thanks guys, Okay, thanks Alex.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: I agree with Alex. Yeah, something that we can you know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: you know me, I'm always concerned.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Ye Jeff is the main what's up? Jeff?
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, how are you doing?
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: So I got two things. One, I think one of
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: the biggest things that I've noticed in the first game,
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: and I noticed it right away compared to last year,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: is when any of our players hits the ground, there's
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: another player running over to help them up. And last
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: year it just kind of seemed like people were dejected.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: And I think that's a really good sign of team
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: chemistry and whether that's just Mayo or how the players
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: feel I was really excited about that just kind of
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: made me feel good as a Pats fan. And I
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: think this game on Sunday is going to be really
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: interesting because I think that our defense matches up really
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: well the Seattle's offense. They have good receivers. I think
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: our corners matchup well. Their line isn't great, but Kenneth
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Walker is obviously really good, and I think that their
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: defense matches up really well against our offense. Not that
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: ours particularly stellar. I know that you guys were talking
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: about how our linebackers were out, but they have a
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: really good secondary against our receivers that are not, you know,
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: known for dominating, and they have a really good defensive line. Yeah,
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: that's all I got, Thanks guys.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Thanks Jeff. I want to talk about the first thing
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: he said about guys helping out in the body language
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: and the enthusiastic I agree that it looked good, but
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I disagree that last year guys weren't helping each other up.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I think they were. And Paul, you were
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: on your show yesterday talking with your two friends about
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: how you were this year. You're making fun of in
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that regard, like players didn't give up last year.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: No, especially not.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: They played hard last year too. You don't have a
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: defense like they had last year. And I get, you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: even if you're playing against backup quarterbacks, you know, giving
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: up ten points, seven points in a game without playing hard.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: This is the NFL. They were playing hard last year too,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: So well, I started saying, like all I heard last
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: year the whole year was how close all the games were.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: And I remember I would be like, yeah, because all
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: the games in the NFL are close, right, like most
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: of it, Like these teams are not. What happened to
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Carolina in Week one doesn't generally happen in the NFL.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Even the bad teams stick their nose in and hang
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: around in a game. So I'm talking about all the
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: games were close last and they're like they were like
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: and Tony the I was like, that weren't. Well, yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I go like Norman Dallas, I go, they weren't playing hard.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: They were out of the they were out of it,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: and they're losing ten seven, ten six six nothing.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: He goes, well, that's just a couple. I go, well, how.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: About like Week one, twenty five, twenty Week two twenty
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: four to seventeen. I was like I can go down
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: the whole schedule if you want me to.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I go.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: They got blown out by Dallas, and they got blown
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: out by New Orleans, right, virtually all the other games
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: were pretty close. Now, most of those games I didn't
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: really think the Patriots had much of a chance to win, right,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Like those ten six tenths, they had a chance to
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: win those. I didn't really think they had a chance
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: to win the twenty four to seventeen game to Miami
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: as an example. You know, I thought Miami really controlled
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: that game. But to say that they didn't play hard, well,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: that they didn't care, they weren't trying like this, this
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: this notion of like these nebulous things that you can't identify.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: They just look faster. I can't explain, Okay, I mean
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you how you thought they looked. Yeah,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: but I can tell you that that game plan defensively
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: was very similar to one I've seen a million times.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Everything, Billich, Everything looks better when you win, correct, you know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: everything looks better now.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: But also it also helps when you immediately, in my opinion,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: you have one way to win. There's there's one blueprint
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: to win, and they followed it to a t they
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: got the lead, they played with the lead the whole day.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: That's the way they want to play.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: The only thing I would might agree with is last
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: year when Mack was on the ground, maybe they didn't
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: rush over as quickly to help them.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: And Trent Brown doesn't exactly its zood like enthusiasm.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: So that was a that was a good thing. I'm
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: just glad now that when we watch Keyon White completely
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: abused Trent Brown, we can now say that Trent Brown
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: is not that good because I just kept getting fought
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: every time I told you that he doesn't try, he
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: doesn't care.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: You were right, Paul, I. I mean I I think
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I was enamored with his twenty eighteen season and his
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: eyes and.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Had a couple of good games when Dante finally lit
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: a fire down the stretch when they just started running
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: football with Sony. Yeah, I mean, he has ability, but
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: there's a reason he was a late round draft pick and.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: He's now he's just a placeholder for Amarius Mims.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's not even the starter anymore.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It's funny though. You said it's something, and I agree
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: with it. It's just an interesting kind of like thought
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: experiment that a game can be close, but you don't
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: have a chance to win.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: You can't win it, you know, like and when I
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: say like you can't win, oh the other way, Fred, Right, yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: the Patriots games, but you Fred and I were smoking
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: cigars mid fourth quarter. No, when the game was over.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: They get up ten three and the game was over.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: The game.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: That was the with the nod and there.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but like.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Like the Philadelphia game last year, well, obviously the Patriots
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: had the ball at the end of the game and
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: they were moving it a little well they really weren't
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: moving it, but they had the ball with the chance
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: to score, so they could have won the game. But
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: did you have to anybody really think they were going
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: to win?
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: You know, like in the the Miami game the next
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: week was even more of an example of that. You remember,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: like they convert a fourth down when they stopped I
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: think it was was a gaziki that lateraled the ball
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: to fullah right right, and they like blade of grass
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: and then they realized it was a bad spot and
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: they overturned it. Like anybody really think if they got
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: that first down they were going to go and score.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Like That's how we felt it was a close game.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: About the last Bengals game too, where it was like
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: the Bengals just rolled them in the first half, then
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: took their foot off the gas, made a couple of mistakes,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, it's close, but we didn't feel.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say this though, on Sunday Week one,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I think the was it was true, it was close,
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: but I never thought the Patriots were going to lose.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good pepper. Well, and I'll tell you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: the same thing.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: I wish our host could say the same thing.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: The last Super Bowl the Patriots won against the rom
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: never thought they were going to win that game, even
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: though it was a close game.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah that was yeah, that was now. That was more
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: that one felt. We have Brady, they have golf, you know, advantage.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: But yeah, right, I but I also right, I thought
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: our defense had Gof's number. He wasn't gonna be able
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, yeah, but I thought, and I'm you, Fred,
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, Mike, you were with me. I never thought
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: the Patriots were losing that game. Once Cardona caused the fumble,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: I gave that's by the way, when I gave the nod,
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: I said, that's the turn. I haven't given a nod
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: in favor of the Patriots in a while, but when
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: they felt naughty fumble, I said, that's game.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Ford and Savannah Georgia. I completely disagree with Paul's take
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: from yesterday, which doesn't happen too often. I think Joe
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Burrow wasn't at his very best, but he played well
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: enough to win the game. He threw a touchdown that
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: was punched out by Kyle Dugger on the one yard line,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: and another touchdown that needed replay to show that it
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: was barely fumbled. His eighteen is one B receiver was out.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: His one A receiver joined the team two days before
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the game. More of the credit should go to the
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Patriots secondary man handling the Bengals third and fourth passing options.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Come at me, Bro, He says.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, I agree with all that, But Mahomes would have
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: won the game Borrow didn't. That's I mean, he's supposed
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: to be one of those. Yeah, he's supposed to be
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: an elite quarterback.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's right, he's supposed to.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Overno Malmes would have won the game with his BC
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: and D receivers. Joe Burrow was content to check it
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: down like to me, it all comes down to the
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: very last possession. That was a non competitive possession, and yes,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: he's right, he should have had a touchdown. Don't don't
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: try to play tricky games. Those plays happened consecutively. You
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: only get one touchdown, not too you know, like it's
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: easy to say, like when you're the Bengals. You know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: we dropped a touchdown. You know, we had a touchdown
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: overturned by replay, and then we had a fund It
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: would only been one touchdown, right, you only drove down
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: there once.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: That was That was another thing. Fred I listened to
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: episode two of Coach with Bill Belichick, Matt Patricia and
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: this week's host was Michael Barty. I was, I was,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I was playing the hits for the club.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: So let me just interrupt for a real quick second.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: So Lombardi eviscerated the Falcons. Why do you think that.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Was because he made him look bad?
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Because who didn't get hired by the Falcons?
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Another with us? So there were there, like there wasn't
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of Patriots talking. There were some subtle comments though,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: one of which was, I mean, you know, Cincinnati, they
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: don't fumble the ball, they probably win the game. You know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: it was like that. It was some about Stevenson, you know,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: finally running north south and holding onto the ball. It
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: was I mean, it's the same defense from last year.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: There were just those handful of comments from Bill little like.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Little prediction reminders, prediction.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is going to be like two thousand and
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: one Patriots. They're going to have this magical run and
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: win another Super Bowl. Yeah, Belichick's boat will be called
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: nine rings.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: There you go. Good one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: As much as I as much as make fun of it, though,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: I will say I did. I do enjoy it because
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: it's it's more just a free, full conversation about football
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: and week one and you know, how you get the
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: team ready for Week one, and you know Bill said,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: how you know, just gratifying it is to win that
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Week one game after all the offseason, all the work
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: you put in in the summer and to get that immediate,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of return on the investment. But tell Paul,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: the interesting thing to me is he said, I would
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: almost prefer a week win Week two because you are
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: able to see a game adjust because the other team's adjusting.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: I really like Week three better, to be honest, Is.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: There anything positive I mean that they said.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Not about not really about the Patriots. They kind of
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: glossed over it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: There was style, I agree with you, just kind of
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: the free flow like we're going to talk about week one.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: It's more general coach, which I which I kind of
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: like they'd been watching us. Yeah, it was. I mean,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I like, I think Lombard's better than Patricia. Patricia just
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: you know, seems like he's fine in his feet with it.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: But but I as much as I joke about it, it
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: was they were very praise a lot of praise for
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: Dallas and their and their personnel and team building and
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: So the fact it is just to close the window
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: on that email. I I agree, and I think I
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: said it many times yesterday, and I know I said
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: it on my show when I when I went to Sunshine.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: The Patriots defense played unbelievable in that game. So let's
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: not try to make this out to be all Paul's
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: blaming it on the Bengals not playing. No, he's not.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Patriots out played Cincinnati for sixty full minutes. And I've
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: said that the postgame show for two hours, and I
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: said it on Tuesday. I said it on Wednesday, and
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: it's still my opinion today.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: My my glow from Sunday is still I still have it. Yeah,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: me too, I still have it, me too.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Well, it's you know, the days winning days before the
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: next contest. But I do have to give Paul, like
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I already told him personally. But I just thoroughly enjoyed
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: him on Felger and Mass yesterday because you know, they
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: were doing their whole you know thing about well if
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: you have this record with May and you know, and
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: so finally Paul, Paul's just like laying doing what Paul does,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: like just you know, going right back at him like
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: you know, which not a lot of people can do.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: And finally Tony Masters is like, it's just not fun anymore.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Well, no, but Paul had to drop. I go. I
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: brought logic to well. The mic drop for Paul was
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: if they're three and fourteen? Not a lot went.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Well, right, right? How do you have it right?
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: How right?
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: He's I don't understand how anybody would be excited about
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: three and fourteen?
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: If Drake May plays he clearly didn't play it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say, Oh, they were three and fourteen,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: but Drake May had this great right, And.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: I don't really remember all the specifics, but I can't
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: imagine everybody in Indianapolis was like, this is awesome. When
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Peyton Manning went three and thirteen and threw twenty eight picks.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Right, doubt creeps in you.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Now, maybe someone looked at it and said, yeah, he's
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: making a lot of mistakes, but we got something. Maybe
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Like I said, I didn't watch them.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: They might I didn't watch the nineteen ninety eight season
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: that intently to know, right, But I can't imagine you
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: feel great right winning three games, even if your quarterback
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: played right.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: You were busy covering high school sports. Probably at that
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: time I would guess.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I was still with the hell doing Agate
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: among other things, and when I was done, I went home.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: All right, back to the TPS hotline. Todd's in North Carolina.
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: What's up, Todd, gentlemen.
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: I like you behind those deaths better than the reciners.
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: You look really good.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Preach Todd seems to be the consensus. I like the
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: comfortable chairs, though.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: I like though they were switching it up a little bit.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I think there's a room for both.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Well, this is to help Matt. He can he can
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: keep this desk up throughout the weekend because on Monday
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: when EEI comes in, they use the desk.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: Plus we use the desk for the post.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Twenty two is gonna who's anyone after us?
• 42:16
  Speaker 10: Ye?
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Catch twenty twos right coming in and they use the desk.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: So what makes it easier for Matt?
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got to put like that back thing on
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: with like support and he's lifting stuff like yeah.
• 42:26
  Speaker 10: So my pod guy is about what a VP.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Sorry Todd, No, No, You're good.
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: Like I've enjoying you guys have a quiet optimism that
• 42:36
  Speaker 10: I haven't seen for a while. Like you guys have
• 42:38
  Speaker 10: you a bit of a Juana v back And I
• 42:40
  Speaker 10: appreciate it from all three of you. It's it's great
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: to see. My thought about what a VP was saying
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: with respect to not being able to do everything. I
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: think it's because he felt that he had to have
• 42:51
  Speaker 10: the sixth linemen in there a lot of times and
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: they just couldn't.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: That's a good point.
• 42:55
  Speaker 10: The things that wanted to do is that that was
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: what kind of what I took that to mean that
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: you know, we were kind of limited because we were
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: just trying to figure out how we're going to get
• 43:03
  Speaker 10: our blocking and do these other things, and we just
• 43:05
  Speaker 10: couldn't open up the whole playbook because of the ability
• 43:08
  Speaker 10: of the Bengals to get after us and get the
• 43:10
  Speaker 10: pressure through with only four.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Know, we talked about that early. How having that extra
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: linement in limits you, It has to limit you.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: I think that's a good point. Yeah, I think you
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: know you brought that up, Fred, like when it's a
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: third one to you can go three tight ends and
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: not be limited, but when the third tight end is
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: a tackle, it limits you.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That was one question I was going to ask
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: bick now if I didn't quite get to it, but
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: I was like Kaid Waller's cats at all, we're gonna
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: slip them out into the flatters, Like.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: That'd be something you'd have to be conscious of, like
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: around the goal line, Like you're not going to throw
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: it to him at the fifty yard line Like that
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: sold him, Like Rabel was was a pretty good athlete,
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: but and they didn't throw it to him unless they
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: were in the red.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: So yes, seven catches for seven touchdowns. Ten Sorry, how
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: did I miss that up?
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Sorry?
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: Mike?
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't come out me.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Bill's in Oklahoma. What's up? Bill?
• 44:01
  Speaker 11: I really like the news set. I haven't had a
• 44:03
  Speaker 11: chance calling in a while, and I just want to
• 44:06
  Speaker 11: get whoever designed that and put it together. Props on
• 44:08
  Speaker 11: that one, great job.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Not me. I'll give props to Provost Studios.
• 44:14
  Speaker 11: Well, there you go.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: And Matt, you're on the You're on air, Matt.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: You just found out how the sausage just made. That's
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: why how Fred gets his lunch every day.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, well.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: You hear it.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: It was just going to you guys, got the air
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: well went today? All right?
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Bill, go have bell.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, You're.
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: Fine, You're fine.
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: I want to check and kind of switch gears and
• 44:37
  Speaker 11: see if you all and Apolo we talked about it
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: maybe yesterday. The Van Natta story on ESPN about Craft
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: being shut out of the Hall of Fame.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 44:47
  Speaker 11: Have you had a chance to talk about that or
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: read it?
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: I have read it.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we all, we all read it. It's unfortunate because
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: I think we all agree. I mean, this is gonna
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: be a controversial opinion. We all agree that Robert should
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: be in the Hall of Fame. But I mean it's
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: unfortunate when it seems like they're like personal things that
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: are getting in the way. I don't think that that
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: should come into play when you're voting for something like that.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, none of these first of all, owners
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: That's Tony mass thing.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I like, I just don't think they should. But that's
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: that was Frank Kirsch. But no, but the Cats out
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: of the bag now. So they are, And if they are,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: there's no other owner that deserves to be in it
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: more than Robert Kraft that that's no doubt. Don't get
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: me started with the whole spygate stuff, you know, Like just.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about the personal stuff. R like that to
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: me is ridiculous. That shouldn't even be in consideration, right,
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Like you're rubbing people the wrong way because your desire
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: to be in the like, that shouldn't be part.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Of it, right.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I just I just think it's ridiculous. I just think
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: the NFL is so petty. There's so much pettiness in
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: the NFL between all of these franchises, and like they're
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: praising Jerry Jones for like making the NFL what it was, Well,
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: guess what Robert Kraft took this team? What did he
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: buy it for? What was the amount twenty something million dollars.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: One hundred and seventy million.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, Craft and the Patriots have defined this century
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: of the NFL. So to sit there and like give
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Jerry Jones all this praise for you know, what he
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: did back in the eighties and or nineties, even like
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: it's ridiculous, And I also, like, I just take personal
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: issue with it because having gone here as a kid,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: and it was a dump, and it was a terrible stadium,
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: a terrible experience. And now what he has brought to
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: this whole area, with this whole Trader Joe's and all that,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Like I mean, I mean, this place is all transformed fromhim.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: He transformed the NFL. Might have wonderful salads and breadsticks
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: all because of Robert Craft, and I thank him. But seriously, though, like,
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: is anyone going to say that the Patriots haven't defined
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: the last two decades of this league and and and
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: made it the global brandan that it is?
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Did Robert Craft make pro football better? That should be
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: for owners, that should be the criteria, And the answer
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: has to be yes. When you think about it.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, No, I was I did. It's unequivocally yes.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's an argument on the other side
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: against Robert Craft. I would just say that Jerry Jones
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: was instrumental.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: No, No, and Jones should be in.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: Like again, Joan should be into like this notion that
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Jones doesn't belong because he hasn't won anything in thirty years.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Jones should be in. But that means that Craft should
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: be in double you know what I mean?
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Like right now, there's nobody that should even be in
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: consideration other than Robert Craft. Right, I'm just saying, don't
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: discredit what Jones did as an owner when he came
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: in in eighty nine and the league was not near Jones.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Jones opened up new sources of revenue for the owners.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: He taught them the way to get the most out
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: of their marketing deals. It started with PEPSI back in
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: the day where instead of you know, having Coke, was
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: you know, the league partner. So teams like, whoa, we
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: can't have another soda And Jerry says, no, I own
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: my stadium. It's not going to be a deal with
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the team. It's going to be a deal with our stadium,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: and that opened up the way, and the Patriots were
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: right on his coattails doing the.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Same thing Robert Craft has done with you know, as
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: your point, Mike to put the Patriots. It's not just
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: about winning. I mean, obviously a winning is a huge
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: part of it, but it's so much more than that.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: You're involved in the you know, in the lockout in
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: twenty eleven, you're involved with the TV contracts that are
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: putting finding more and more revenue streams.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: For the league.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: You're growing the league.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what guys like Jerry Jones and Robert Craft have.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: They grew the league and they made it better for fans.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: They also made it better for the players. These sources
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: of revenue makes it better for the players because it's
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: a collective bargain and they get fifty one percent of
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: the profits. So the more money you bring in, the
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: more the players get in. So the players have them
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: to think too.
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: The other thing, back to the stadium, it's not so
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: much that he built it and all that and Patriot Place.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make pro football better. But what it does
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: make it better is he financed this without taxpayer money.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, you know, And that made it better for fans.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: He was able to finance this without PSLs and all
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: the all the owners got criticized for PSLs because it's
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: kind of it's scamish a little bit, you know, sure,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: but the crafts and Jonathan was a big part of this,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: figured out a way to finance it through the contracts
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: with the club seats and you know that's you know,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: there's no smoking mirrors there like there is with PSLs,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: and so that made it better for season ticket members
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: to buy their tickets. And so there's a lot of things.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: But you know, Paul mentioned all the broadcasts he should
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: be in. If there's any owner that should be in,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: he should be in. And you know what all that article,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: you know, the article agreed with that. By the way,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: the article was.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: Very fair in terms of that.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: It just kind of illustrated the pettiness of these guys
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: that vote.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you know it mentioned that, you know,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: maybe the Patriots were a little bit too aggressive lobbying,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: and okay, fine, but like when you're watching all these
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: people get in, you start to get like urgent, you know, like.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Bowline, no disrespect, like rest in peace? What has he
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: done that Robert didn't do.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: And you know, knock on wood. You know, Robert Craft's
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: in really good health for a guy who's eighty three.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Pat Bowland wasn't, and they said that that might have
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: been a factor to get him in sooner. But listen,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: he's eighty three, Get him in now, Get him in now.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean it's just in some ways I see
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: it as Jerry Jones passing the baton to Robert Craft.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: And I mean just the way that this game has
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: changed with social media, with the globalization of it. I
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: mean all these markets. I mean, we're in Germany, we're
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: in Brazil now, Like how much does Robert Craft. He's
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: a huge role in all of that. So that's the
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: stuff that matters to me. The winning the on field controversy,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: that doesn't matter if I had to put an owner in.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: It's about growing.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Did you make the game better? Yeah? Did you make
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: the game better? That's what an owner can do to
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: get into the Hall of Fame because obviously they're not coaching,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: they're not on the field. That's what they can do
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: to earn a right to get.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: And building bridges too, I mean, I know that's the
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: best common you know, the best example is eleven and
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: you know Robert being credited with you know, playing a
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: big part in ending the lockout. But you know, it's
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: it's it's more than that. And I mean I talked
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: about around here. It's just on a personal level, but
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: I think it means a lot to this community. And
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: I know it doesn't have anything to do with the
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, but just how much he's grown this
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: franchise and taken it from whatever it was to you know,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: twenty million dollars to now it's a billion dollar franchise.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, and all these guys are making all this
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: money because of that.
• 51:20

  Speaker 7: Obviously getting a chance to go back and watch the
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: film and.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: We got some I'm sorry, sorry, come on, man.
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: I'm a good sport. N C stayed losing to uh
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: tennessee him and Joe. But uh, back to your question.
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: You know, obviously watching the film and seeing a lot
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: of things that you know as a as a team,
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: as an offense, and obviously personally that you know, rooms
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: and improve improvement, and we were joking about yesterday or Monday.
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: It was like it's always better to learn from a
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: win than a loss. But uh so excited to get
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: back on the practice feeling and correct those correct those
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: things and get moving forward.
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: He was talking to about, how did you guys thinking
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: of the help? Yeah, what does that mean for you?
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: What sort of tea body experience?
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: Is it like when you team bond? And I don't
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: know about that, but uh no, but he's right. We
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: got to the point where it was just we saw
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: what type of game it turned into, and uh, you know,
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: the cool part was is like it was no egos
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: in the huddle, you know, and everybody kind of you know,
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: bought into it and realized like you know, we're running
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: one play the whole time, you know what I mean,
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: and they're not stopping it, so why why change it?
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: And uh, you know that was I think that was
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: one of the more cooler moments in my uh you
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: know career. Everybody in the huddle is saying, like, let's
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: take them to the hill because we knew we were
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: in that much better shape than they were, and uh,
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: you know, I think it paid off.
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: How important is it for the players to kind of
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: seeo process, whether it's you guys running the hill and being.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Better conditioned, whether it's a game plan, how how important
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: is it for to get results from what results are preaching?
• 55:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's it's it's really good just because
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: from the standpoint of you know, it's you see the
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: direction that we're trying to go, you know, and you
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: see what happens when you know you do follow the
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: process and you do buy into the plan. I mean, obviously,
• 55:33
  Speaker 7: some day, some days you're gonna you're gonna do that
• 55:35
  Speaker 7: and you're not gonna get the results you want. But
• 55:37
  Speaker 7: you know, I think it's even more apparent after you know,
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: you do get those results, it's now you gotta double down.
• 55:42
  Speaker 7: On it even more because you know, it's it shows
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: you that you can't take that much more of a
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: you know, I think a slack in the preparation to
• 55:53
  Speaker 7: get you to the game.
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: Be looking forward to this Sunday, How do you see
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: the sort of challenges that the Seahawks defense and do
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: you see similarities through what the Ravens did the last Sea?
• 56:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 56:03
  Speaker 7: Obviously, you know Mike, Mike has done a good job
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: dating back to his raven days and and uh, you
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: know the way he calls the games and then and
• 56:10
  Speaker 7: you know, dating back to the Ravens and even like
• 56:12
  Speaker 7: this year, with those guys, they keep you on your toes.
• 56:15
  Speaker 7: You know, I got a lot of really good players
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: on defense, guys that have made the Pro Bowl and
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: some of the better better players in this league. And
• 56:22
  Speaker 7: so he uses those guys very well within his scheme.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: So we got to be on our p's and q's.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Is gonna be a big one for us.
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: Obviously it starts today with you know, first and second
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: down and trying to you know, master that play right now, uh,
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: and then moving forward throughout the week because the the
• 56:40
  Speaker 7: more like the third downs and red zones and the
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: situation gets that's when uh, you know, they get better.
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: Defense all summer.
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: Do you see these similarities the way that you know
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: Baltimore but now Seattle wants to play in the way
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: that you guys play the defensive somewhat similar obviously. Uh,
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: you know, you get a lot of different looks up
• 56:57
  Speaker 7: from the with the guys obviously had a good cover
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: guy of which we do when they do as well.
• 57:02
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 57:03
  Speaker 7: And I think taking that approach and you know you
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: kind of I guess screwing with the you know, the
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: offensive rules as far as like protection or run game
• 57:12
  Speaker 7: and things like that. I think that's what this style
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: of defense tries to do really well. I mean, that's
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: what they do really well. Uh So uh, like I said,
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: first and second down, so kind of trying to you know,
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: put that in his own bucket and take care of
• 57:23
  Speaker 7: for that.
• 57:24
  Speaker 14: With yourun talked about the ability for a team to
• 57:27
  Speaker 14: be able to make changes on the fly as things
• 57:30
  Speaker 14: are going on. What gives you confidence that your offense
• 57:34
  Speaker 14: can see one thing and then make a change to
• 57:36
  Speaker 14: do another thing if that is what you.
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: Need to do, Because that's what we did Sunday, you know,
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: it was it was a couple of looks that we
• 57:44
  Speaker 7: thought we were getting based on the scout report, and uh,
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: you know, and I mean from a VP and those
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: guys playing Cincinnati and lou whiles ago, and we came
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: out and they gave us different looks, and therefore it
• 57:57
  Speaker 7: led to some different different calls for us to make
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: towards the end of the game. And I think you
• 58:01
  Speaker 7: saw that as far as like some of our run
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: game calls were a little different than we expected, and
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: putting in our guys being able to you know, change
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: on the fly, as far as like making like alerts
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: on the play or checks on the play within the play,
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean. So I thought that was
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: good for us to see that, And and that just
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: goes back to our ability to adapt in and you know,
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: learn them the fly.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: COVID taking your five question first year as a starter,
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: you'll have the league in sacks, but play it seems
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: like your ability.
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: To feign pressure has improved throughout the years.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: I have you done that just beyond the offensive lines.
• 58:33
  Speaker 7: Pect, I mean, I think it it. I've been fortunate
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: to play on really good old lines. I think that
• 58:41
  Speaker 7: plays a part in it. Understanding football a little bit more,
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: uh you know, being okay with you know, throwing throwing
• 58:48
  Speaker 7: the ball away.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, you.
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: Know, I'll see that you're a completion percentage context hit,
• 58:52
  Speaker 7: but it's it's I think that's better than a second
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: getting into negative yards. And I think understanding that you
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: know more now, am I, I guess older days than
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: I was when I was when I was younger in
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: the league. I think that's definitely has paid off. And
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: watching really good quarterbacks honestly do it for a while,
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: watching Tom and Philip and Andrews finding ways to you know,
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: not get negative plays, you know, so I think that
• 59:16
  Speaker 7: definitely played a part of it.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: The second laf of that game against Cincinnati had a
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: deep attempt down the field to type one.
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: I'm just wondering how important you think it is to
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: try to get him involved down the field, just show
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: a willingness to even make those types of pros to
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: maybe try to soften the defense up for your running. Yeah,
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: you know, I think that's definitely important just because of
• 59:35
  Speaker 7: you know, who he is as a player, you know,
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: I mean, being able to stretch your field. I mean,
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: it's one of the fastest, if not the fastest. Yode
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: On our team, you know, his ability to get down
• 59:43
  Speaker 7: the field at a fast rate. Definitely got to try to,
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: you know, make the defense feel like that's a possibility,
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: you know, and obviously when we get chances to hit him.
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: But I think we did that one time, and then
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: the next time, you know, they're playing completely soft zone
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: on him, he sits in his own and gets a
• 59:57
  Speaker 7: big completion. So I think a lot of those things Ona,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: you know, play hand to hand each other with each other,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: and so definitely finding more ways to not just with him,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: with other guys as well, you know, try to exploit
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: some of those things.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: YEA great moments in.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: History. Evan lecturing Tamara about local cuisine. Didn't he eat
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: McDonald's in Germany? No, that was me.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: I did not eat.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: That was actually Samara, I run Alex and Matisza.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: I had McDonald's twice in Joan, don't throw me in that? Wait?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: Wait did you get five guys?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: I went to podcast, but I also had the Schnitzel.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: Wait, but I.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Will call out.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: I will call Evan on this.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: He was too good for German coffee.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: He had to have stars.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: But ill you recall that I immediately texted Beth and said, oh,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: you'd like Evan, but I what Starbucks.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it doesn't surprise anybody that I am a
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 5: food snob. That's food. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: Surprise anybody, Patrick Patrick and Ottawa thinks I'm a food
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: snow he says, when Fred, when Fred speaks of food,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: it's with such snobbery.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, there's no question heils it.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: He channels the soul of Eric.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: You tell everybody, don't get this, get this.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: This is the better I can't may Baker Fred.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 5: I feel like Fred and I are on the same wavelength.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: But he takes he does it a little bit more
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: than I do.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: He's worse than you at it. Yes, smash one before
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: smash Burger is the tavern burger. That's the one that's
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: the one that you're wasting your time with. The Whiskey
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: river barbere no.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Mayo on it.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: Don't put Mayo on it.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Mayo ruined it. H Mayo.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: Fred's always telling me not to put on something.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: That's another great moment.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: All right back here on Patriots on Filter at eight
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: five five pass five hundred is the TPX Hotline web
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: radio at Patriots dot com. It's the email address. It's
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Duce Paul, myself. Evan will be here soon. We're gonna
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: do picks. Yeah.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Alex got three tires.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Alex is not going to be here. She has,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: but she has sent her picks in. I have the picks,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: so she'll be legit. Yeah, we'll have us pick in
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: on time. Yeah. And you know it's it's actually tougher
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: to mail him in because you don't listen to anyone else.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: You can't be swayed. It has all right, anything else
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: before we get back to our callers and emailers. O,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: why don't we be listener driven? Okay, all right, let's
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: go to Christian in Virginia. What's up Christian? Christian?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 15: Hey, how's it going good.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: I've got a question. Do you guys think that the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: tight ends are going to be utilized more in this game?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 9: In the preseason, you know, we kind of were assuming
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: that they were going to be used a lot, and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 9: then we didn't see a lot of them going against
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: the Bengals. But I would also credit that just to
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 9: the injuries in that position. But yeah, I'll take it
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: off their community.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's a great question.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm going to write about the tight ends today.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: I just I think, you know, we saw a lot
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: of them in the in the summer. Hooper very experienced.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: But I just think with the way that Seattle likes
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: to send random guys, having two smart veteran tight ends
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: who know where to go and know, you know, it's
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: the easy passes for Brissette. Instead of hoping that all right,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: he's going to start connecting with Taye kwont this game
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: and you know it's going to be three twenty yard
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: path that's hard to really hope for. I don't think
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: it's hard to hope that those two tight ends are
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: more productive they I mean, I think they.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Catches the injuries to their linebackers. Maybe you can exploit.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: That right right, so you know, like I said, I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: think they have five catches last game buying, but but
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: there were a couple of key catches you know, for
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: them down down the way, So we'll see. I think
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: it's an easy step maybe to start to unlock the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: passing game a little bit, involve those two tight ends
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit more.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're basically just talking about throwing the ball
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: to them because they yeah, they both played a ton yeah. Yeah,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: and I think when you add in the eighteen snaps
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: from Wallace, that's a lot of tight end work, Like
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: they ran the ball yeah predominantly. So yeah, I mean
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: I think that that that could change. I think Mike
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: has got it. With some pressure and stuff, you might
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: have some quick, easy outlets. I think Hooper was the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: target on one of those early Yeah. Yeah, I think
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: they're healthy. I think they played a ton Hunter Henry
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: and Austin Hooper. Yeah, just involved in health thing. They
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: both were out there a lot.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: And uh and Bicknell was very uh, you know, just
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: complimentary about their willingness to block and to get in there.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, and neither one of them are you know,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: necessarily what they're known for. But yeah, I got some
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: good stuff out of him just about I asked him like,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: are they complimentary because they seem very similar, and he
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: actually ran down Like when I first got here, I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: you know, went in and kind of studied them. So
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: we had some good stuff just about how they kind
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: of you know, differentiate the two guys.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm looking I'm looking ahead to when
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: May comes in. Anything they can do to develop the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: passing game is going to be good for when he
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: does play. At the same time, if they can continue
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: to keep that identity as a running team, like you know,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: we're gonna run, We're gonna run it anyway and we're
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: going to be successful. That's going to help May too.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: You know, keep teams on their on their heels.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: So if you can run the ball like that and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: then have a passing game to go with it, now
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: you've become an explosive offense.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's it's like at this point, it's like,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: all right, you know that Stevens is gonna be here
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: for a couple more years, so you know, you know
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: you got him. But they really seem to believe in him.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: When Paul talked about Taylor Embery, how high they are
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: on him and his potential. So he's he's going to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: be a piece when when May does get there and
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: you know into next year.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: In the year after I did, like some of the
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: coaches answers, you know, Van Pelt was asked about it,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: everybody was asked about it, like you know, what did
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: you because he surprised you, you know, and did what
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: were your thoughts on Stevenson And like they're like, no,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: like we watched this guy, he's one of He's a
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: really good back. He runs with a lot of power.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: We saw him breaking a lot of tackles, I think
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: Van Pelt said, we saw him breaking a lot of tackles,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: you know, in the past years too. Like I don't know,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: like maybe Mayo was right, maybe some of the media
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: corps didn't really understand that reminder. Stevenson is a pretty
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: good back.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, you know, I think nationally he gets
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: put aside, you know, in the past because he was
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: out a lot with the injuries.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: You know, he was well, I don't think he's like nationally,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's one of those guys talked.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: About like if he had if he continues the season
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: he's had in that first game, he will be talked
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: about like that. But in the past, you know, like
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: he wasn't in that group of elite backs in the NFL.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: Now, I mean, I think he was good. He was
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: like one hundred and twenty yards. I mean it was
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: like his third highest total of his career. You know,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: So he's not he hasn't had overwhelming production. He's been
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: hurt a little bit. His best season twenty twenty two.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: And the rest of the offense held him back. I
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: think just the ineptness of the offense as a whole.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: He's not talk to Anbury about this too, about the workload,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: like he's not gonna like. They don't want that. They
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: don't want him getting twenty five carries every week. That
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: was not necessarily something they did by design, but they
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: rode the hot hand clearly. It was better when he
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: was getting the carries than it was when Gibson. No
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: offense to Gibson, it wasn't his fault, right, but I
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: thought Stevenson was doing a better job of making those
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: guys miss. I think Gibson made guys miss on some
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: three yard runs. I thought he was breaking tackles in
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: the backfield. Yeah, you know, I think he also. I
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: think Evan said he felt like he left some yards
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: out there. Yeah, Gibson to just being on the injury
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: report too. I might have been little bit, but I
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: think he was good this summer, and I think he'll
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: be a good complimentary piece, you know, even maybe a
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: little bit more of a pass catcher, but still balanced,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: like like the Andreas.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Uh Brads in Ohio. What's up Brad Brad today? Good morning, afternoon,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, good morning, wherever you are.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 15: What's happen, Brad from Ohio, the Michigan the Michigan fan.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 15: That's uh, you know, feeling pretty bad after last week
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 15: and probably looking that way the rest of the season
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 15: for them. Uh. Anyway, I just wanted to call and
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 15: see how you guys were thinking about a couple of
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 15: things here city now is do we have any news
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 15: about anything? I mean, it's it's not a serious injury, right.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't look
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: for him this week.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, unless something.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 9: From someone that can.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 15: You know, with LANDA Robinson, you know, in the way
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 15: he played, he's being I don't think you I don't
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 15: want to say being overlooked, but I mean, if he's
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 15: just gonna to be another good grun blocker we got
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 15: if we can get him in there, yeah, be healthy,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 15: because that's what he was good at doing, right.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: He's a he's a good guard. He's a good guard.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not so worried about the interior right now,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: you know. My thoughts are to the outside. Yeah, I'm
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: a little worried. Thanks Brad.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: Nature yeah, I just I wonder if there's a future
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: where it's Robinson left guard Andrews on when you you know,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: I just I think that's a really solid interior core.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: And if Wallace could immerge the right.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Thing, you get two tackles, you get your wish, but Wallace.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: But you know, if Wallace could too, I mean, all
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, you've got a couple of
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: rookies who are playing and long term you know solutions.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Evans here as we turned, has turned, has turned.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: We need a music video for that.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 5: So was back at practice speaking of City, not at
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: practice He was the only Patriots player missing from practice
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 5: again today. So again, like I said yesterday, Uh stinks
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: for City, but they're pretty healthy coming out of that game.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: Everybody's been participating besides him. So nobody that played in
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: the game on Sunday got injured seriously, which is I
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 5: think it's good news for sure. Try to you know,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: caveatoge as much as I can, serious, I mean, get hurt.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there's bumps and bruises, but yeah, to my
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: my eye, I didn't really catch anybody even look like
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: they were dealing with anything. We didn't mention any injuries. No,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: we started taking calls like in the middle of the
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: good list, you know, and shot crowsing, well that now
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: he's one of us. We're going to learn that.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: We can't do like keep telling me all the things
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: I'm doing.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: Right, We can't do like we usould do with Hardy, Right.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: Well, how do we get mad? And then he would
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: kind of yell back at you was great, right, right,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: and then he'd be like kind of angry, hearty.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: And Matt, We'll go okay, fine, I'll just sit here.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, So what do you got.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: That's kind of a quiet day honestly today, you know, shells,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: no pads after pads yesterday, so pretty standard. Wednesday in pads,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 5: Thursday back in shells. So city show, wasn't there? Offensive line?
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 5: Looks like it's going to be the same as it
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: was in the fourth quarter last week once you know,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: choops of four four went out for Vederian Low and other.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: Other than that, it looks like business as usual.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: Okayvan, I've been teasing your piece about Drake May a
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: little bit. You could give the audience a little a
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: little looky lou insight into what Drake had to tell you.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Yesterday.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I had a good conversation with him yesterday and
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: it was cool. He kind of just took me through
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: his week and what he was able to do behind
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: the scenes, and there's some a few interesting things, I think,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: you know, just off the top. He did take some
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: first team reps. You talked about this a little bit yesterday,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: but he said early in the week, so it sounded
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: like dose came for the most part on Wednesday, and
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: then once they started to get into real game plan
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 5: for the Bengals, then Jacobi obviously took over and did
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: a lot of those things. And then Drake May was
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: mimicking Joe Burrow, you know, and on the scout team
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: for a lot of the week as well. And we
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 5: talked a little bit about the VR technology because I'm
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: like fascinated by it. I think it's really cool, and
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: he has been using that a little bit. They actually
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: gave him a at home kit so he can now
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 5: do it at his house and bring it home with him.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 5: And that's Patriots plays. So he says, he puts in there,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 5: you know, third down, two minute like situational football type
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 5: of things, and then he just goes through these are
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 5: our routes, this is the progression, this is the defense
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 5: I'm going against, And you can wear the goggles and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: actually puts you on the field against the defense and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: you can actually play the game that way. So it's interesting.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: I got two things on that. One, I feel like
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: I would wear that like all night, Like I would
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: just be like, I'll be a bet in a minute.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: But like my other grand idea is, couldn't we have
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: like instead of just top golf, like have a bar
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: where they have those goggles and you just kind of
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: sit around and drink and you're like, all right, Evan,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: you're up on the two minute drill, you know, and
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: you kind of do it that way instead of let
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: you know, sports, you know, like that.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: Get on.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: It needs investors, a blog of money.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: You need some money.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: People vomiting all over the place. They do make for
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: some people. There's like a motion sickness thing.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: I can see that, yea, he said.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: So it's on an iPad, is like the software is
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 5: on an iPad, and then they cannot even to the headset.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 5: And he said that you can also just like go
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 5: like watch it on the iPad like kind of like
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 5: a video game. And so he said that he does that,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 5: probably more than wearing the whole headset and everything, but
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 5: he seems to think it's useful to at least run
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: through the Patriots base plays because he's you know, doing
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 5: scout team and doing other things during the week at practice,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: so that allows him to go back and run through
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 5: some Patriots stuff to try to get that.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: So we went around the desk earlier about a VP's
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: comments about plays that he wished he had done. Yeah,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: what was your interpretation of that quote?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 5: Well, I think every week, I'm sure there are times
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: where you're like, ah, dang, like you know, they did
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: this and we weren't really planning for them to do that,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: and we didn't have a counter, we didn't have an
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: answer to it on the call sheet. I'm sure that
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 5: happens a lot.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: That makes sense too, that's another different variation.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, you know those types of things.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: I didn't necessarily think it was anything.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: So why did you think that they didn't have a
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: counter to it.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe they just you know, it's week one. The
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: Bengals might not have put everything on film in the
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 5: preseason that they saw on the game, and so you
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: get into the game and the Bengals are running a
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: different coverage or a different front or something like that
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 5: that you weren't necessarily prepared for going in, and then
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 5: you realize like, oh, I don't really have like a
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 5: great play to counter this on this call sheet. So
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 5: those I'm sure those are second guesses. That's all this.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: I was kind of hoping, and I'm probably not right,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: but I was hoping he was subtly saying, yeah, if
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: we had Drake May in there, we would have been
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: able to do someone enuff out of the pocket, get
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: the ball down field.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: I told him I liked his thing.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: I just didn't think, yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 5: But I did not interpret it that way.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, And none of us interpreted it as like, oh, well,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: he's just not ready to call plays. He was unprepared.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: None of us took it that way.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: Just now.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: I kind of wondered if maybe they just didn't have
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: enough installed yet or that they felt comfortable with. And
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: there were things that he wished, you know, because obviously
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: he knows all the plays right system, but he didn't
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: feel comfortable calling something that wasn't on the sheet because
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: not being confident that they'd be able to run it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: It's possible. I definitely feel like you have theory better. Yeah,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: I definitely feel like that's possible though, because him and
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: Jacoby were in this offense together in twenty twenty two,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 5: So their knowledge level of what is in the playbook
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 5: is that probably at a much different level then let's
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: say Jalen Polk's like knowledge level of what's in the playbook.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: So that could definitely be the case. But the way
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 5: I looked at it was, you know, give some props
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 5: to Big Lou, like he threw some things at me
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 5: I wasn't necessarily prepared for, which I'm sure, like I said, happens.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: And he mentioned earlier in the press conference that the
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: Bengals didn't pressure as much as he thought they would. Yeah,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: and again Mike and I immediately talked after which I
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: think some people might be like, they didn't get as
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: much pressure. They were pressured on fifty percent. I don't
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: think that's what he was talking about. He was talking
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: about blitzing, like correct coming at him with different stuff,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: and they didn't blitz a lot. Yeah, maybe that was
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: something that you know, goes hand in hand to what
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: you were saying.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, like you would say, they had like a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: bunch of answers to blitzes on the call sheet and
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: they ended up not even touching any of them because
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: that's not necessarily what they were doing. Well, now, you
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: could have replaced those plays with plays that would have
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 5: been more conducive, right that. It's definitely possible too.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they I think what was an eighteen
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: plays that they had six linemen in kid? Do you
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: think they needed to haven't that mench or is that
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: something they did, you know, out of safety? But if
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: you look back now, maybe you didn't need to do that.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I thought that was a good part
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: of the game plan. They did it a bunch against
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 5: this defense in the with the Browns. You know, the
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 5: Browns did a lot of six offensive linemen against Cincinnati
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: over the years. So whatever it is at their fronts
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 5: or something like that that they run, they feel like
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: it's useful. I think the game would priset In twenty
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: two that I watch, I think they had twenty two
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 5: snaps with a sixth offensive lineman, so this week they
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 5: had eighteen. Two of them were Neil downs by the way,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: So really it was sixteen.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: Did you guys go back and look were there any passes? One?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: There was one? Yeah, I owent back and looked at that,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 5: so there was one pass. It was the checkdown play
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: action checkdown, Tomandre Stevenson.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: I wonder if they checked out of a run on
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: the play possible or were they taking a shot.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: Maybe it was supposed to be a shot all right?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Web radio at patries dot com as the email address
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: spiin Fresno writes in he says, the new mic song
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: is pretty wild and wacky stuff, and I'm not sure
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: I can handle this switch from the ace ticket hutline
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: to TPX. The world is changing and I'm scared anyway.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Love that question yesterday about what people aren't worried about
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: but should be. I'll throw my hat in the ring
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: with perhaps an odd one. Christian Gonzales. People talk about
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: him like we've got the number one corner position locked up,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: but it's still effectively his rookie year. He did find
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: last week, but also had soft coverage against Chase at times,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: including the first down conversion just before the near touchdown
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: by Kasiki. I believe lack of aggression was the critique
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: of Gonzo coming from college, hopefully we'll see him as
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: sin but maybe people should worry a little about whether
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: he's the next Revus or Gilmour.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 5: I would say on my list of worries, he is
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 5: maybe the most towards the bottom of the list. Is
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 5: anybody on this team. If we're just gonna go.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: Somewhere, we play left tackle, and I'm gonna say that
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: he Like, out of fifty three guys that are on
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: this team, he's fifty three in terms of the.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 5: Guys that I am worried about on this team. Like, no,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: he does not have a angry streak in him necessarily,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 5: Like he's not one of those guys that plays an
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: ultra physical brand of football. But his coverage is just
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's just a ballery run.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: Oh shoot, I just lost it.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: I had I think I would fall in the middle.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: He's not on my list of concerns, But I think
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: it all depends on what you think he is. If
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: you think he's the Gilmore and Reeves, then I'd be concerned.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's that good, but I think what
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: Evan said is largely accurate. I think he's a really
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: good cover guy. I haven't seen any of the games
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: that he's played where I said, wow, he's struggling today.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: I think he's pretty consistent. I don't I don't have
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: him on my list of concern but I don't look
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: at him like this.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: At the present. I don't, but I think he can
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: be as good as Gilmore down the road.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: See, I was kind of thinking maybe for what Evan
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: was talking about, like just that sort of edge.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if Gilmore necessarily played with that either.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, that's why I said Gilmour and that's not Reave.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 5: This maybe Gilmore like Patriots Gilmore, but Buffalo.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: Gilmore is there.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, like I I that took Giore.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 5: I love Gilmore, but it just took it took Steph
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: some time to get you know, he came here and
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 5: really that's when he became the player that he that
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 5: he became with under Bill, Like that wasn't the guy
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: that you know, asked the Bills fans about about Gilmore. Yeah,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: I was wondering about putting Gonzales on Lockett, you know,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of considering the matchups this week,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: and it's just it still seems like Lockett is the
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: engine kind of a guy, you know, especially if they
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: don't have a run game, maybe you got to put
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: a safety over Metcalf right, and you know, then you
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: kind of maybe take your chances with with js N
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: and and and Jones. We'll see how they how they
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: do it with man and zone and stuff. But that
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: that to me seems like a matchup that might make sense.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: Stick him on locket.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I would put him on Metcalf and
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: take him, take Metcalf out of the game, and put
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Jones unlocked it. That's the kind of guy that
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: Jones has had successful.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: Nolan California has over under game ready, Stevenson over under
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: one hundred rushing yards.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go under.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say under.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: I just think they're gonna say, we're not gonna let
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: Stevenson beat us this week, and you want to beat
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: us with I think.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: The Patriots are gonna say we can't ride him into
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: the ground. Yeah, that's true, right out of the game
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: and intentionally try to lessen his load.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: A little bit. Jacoby Brissette over under two passing tds.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: I go to I'll go to push push, I'm gonna
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: say under, Poke, Fred's.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: Get another track to pull coming Sunday.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: Poke over under five catches under under yeah, probably under
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: defense over under, three turnovers under and finally bonus. At
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: what point, if any the fans chant for Drake May.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 5: Under Yeah, I don't think that.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think that will.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 5: I don't think you'll hear it. But I don't rule it.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: Out unless it's like seven interceptions from Jogo, maybe three,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: but you know, a bunch of bunch of turnovers from
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: Brasseat and Zap zap, Wait May May.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be hard to chant that.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: We want Drake, we want we want may Or, we
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: want may Or Drake.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: I would say, let Drake bake. Know I'm just some
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 5: spip on her.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: A couple of emails, Uh, just little note. People probably
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: know that listen to this show. But Brazil is our
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: home market, one of our home markets now and uh
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: we've got a couple of emails from Brazil. So I
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: just wanted to read the letitia from Pernambuco, Brazil, but
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: originally from Toronto, Canada. First of all, I want to
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: say I love the show in all of you. However,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Paul saying that Brazil is not ready to host the
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: NFL game. Really disappointed me. Brazil has successfully hosted not
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: only the Olympics but also the World Cup. Yes, the
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: grass was higher than it should have been for football,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: but that has also happened in Wembley in London, given
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: both of the stadiums are almost one hundred percent of
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: the time used for soccer games, and I think we
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: can all agree that that's easily corrected for the next time.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Other than that there was nothing major to correct.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 4: Well, they have yet to corrected in London. Yeah, the
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: field conditions in London have been a problem every year,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 4: so I think I don't think it's that easy to correct.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: It isn't What happens is when they put in new turf,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: I don't care where or it is, like even for
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl a couple of years The.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl a couple of years ago was awful.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: It was awful.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: This is not something that's just resigned for international mark.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: That's what That's what And I think that's that's her
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: point too, is it's not about Brazil, it's about just
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: doing it right.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: I blame London when it was in London, I'm gonna
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: blame Brazil, you know sal Paula. Yeah, when it's there.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: She says, I know people who went to the game
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: and said everything went perfectly in the US. However, we
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: all remember what happened in the Copa America final in Miami,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: and no one anywhere said that US is not ready
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: to host a major.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: Of course they did.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 4: No, I mean Miami didn't get crucified for that.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 5: They did, but of course they did.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: But but they didn't say that Miami can't host a
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: major sporting event.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, I've heard them.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: They do it every week.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: I heard them say they can't do World Cup games.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 4: Imagine what's going to happen when they do real World Cup. Well,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: they like these American markets don't know how to do this.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 4: There was absolutely that top We.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: Had World Cup here in the United States before.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: You think it's a little different.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that they screwed up in Miami. But
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: that's not indicative screw up.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: You deserve the criticism, yes, sorry, but it doesn't mean
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't got a lot of criticism.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Point is, people didn't say the US can't host major
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: sporting events.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: Well, right, and that's what I didn't say. They couldn't
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: host major sporting events. I said they shouldn't host NFL games.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: He said the Brazil is not ready for the NFL.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: Correct, now stand by it?
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: Well, why is? Why is the NFL? That's much different
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: than the World Cup.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a positive experience for the league. If you
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: listen to the two teams, they did nothing but bitch.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: Well that's that's fine anyway.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: They say the same thing about London. This is not
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: about Brazil.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: I tried buying tickets for the game in South Paulo,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: but they sold out in two hours. And the sports
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: getting more popular in Brazil. I listened religiously, including the
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: postgame show. I love Boston and I love all of
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: you except Evans. Sometimes there's no hard feelings. There's no
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: hard feelings, and I hope to meet all of you
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: in Brazil if the Pages play next year.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: I thought for sure that was coming out about Brazil,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 4: but it doesn't like me.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: One more one more from Brazil. This is from Philippe.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: He he's from Brazil. Shout out to Malcolm Butler and
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: Goskowski for attending our first Patriots watch party in Brazil.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: They were done cool last weekend. How long do you
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: guys think it would be until we use may on
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: the field realistically as a may as a Mayo decision
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: And how long do you personally hope it takes? One
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: plus question, are their hopes for Joe Milton develop into
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: a quarterback kind.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: Of struggling right now because we have to lose probably
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: to get Drake may in, And like it's just been
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: nice to win a game and it feels good, and
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I want may in, but like, I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: also don't want to have to go through like four
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: straight weeks of just you know, bad losses. So but
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: I still want to see him before the season's out,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: you know, preferably close to the middle of the season.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: But I just it's gonna it's gonna hurt getting there.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm not looking forward to Fred says
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: week six, week.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: Six, bye week six weeks bye week six.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: How do I personally twenty minutes get him in there?
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 5: I like to score.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm kind of silly like that. I like
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: when they put points three.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 5: Board, I would say still by Halloween. Yeah, I think
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 5: we're gonna see him by then. And the way they've
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 5: treated him in practice, it does sound like they're still
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 5: making sure he gets some of the reps, so I
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 5: would say by Halloween.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: And I'm really stubborn, but I'm not stupid. If they
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: win twelve games playing the way they did on Sunday,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: I'm all for it whatever it takes to win games. Personally,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 4: I would rather see a little bit more of an
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: entertaining style, and I think May brings that so to me.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: When they feel like he's ready, I want him in
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 4: there sooner rather than later. But I don't think that's
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: gonna happen.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. The question with is just some of the plays
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: that Jakobe left on film against Cincinnati. Does Drake May's
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 5: talent allow you to make those plays? And then on
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 5: the flip side, does he turn the ball over more?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: Does some of the pressure that Brissett avoided cause May
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 4: to make rookie mistakes?
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 5: Right? Because of the balance, Because there's obviously some of
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 5: the of the shot plays that they did call where
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: I felt like May was in there, they'd have a
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: better chance of hitting those throws and what they did
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 5: with Jakobe. But then there's obviously a downside potential there too.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: Kylon Pembroke writes in he says Evan's song is better
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: than Mike's song. Come on, oh and the Patriots win
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty one.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: Some people like just such a check mark and the
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: human being category because Evan's song was actually written and
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: recorded by a human.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: Wonders it was written by a human, just recorded by
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: Ai Touche. I guess it's my mind's better than not
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: the theme song.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: I guess I got one more, one more before we
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: get to uh the picks. Brian and Plymouth great to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: have three shows a week. Love Mike's ridiculous new AI
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: song about time he got the love that he's quieter
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: and gets occasionally steamrolled, so it doesn't always jump out
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: how good his insight is.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, you would let him.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: That's a good point anyway. With the parl wash out
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: of the way, you talked about the increased access in
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: the locker room in general. Increased access has been a
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: theme this season, and it's a huge benefit to the
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: fans between that in the podcast, like Brian and David's
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: and Devon's. I love that almost instant dynamic content we're
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: getting this year. A lot of people have had enough
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: of Felger's faux arguments and all that noise.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: Just out of curiosity has access we're talking about.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's not any increase that more people accessible.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: It's it's not an it's a different time of day.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, it's allowing I think the media to have
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: better opportunities, just more guys. It's not increased acts.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 5: I would say too, that they're also in better moods
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 5: because we're not catching them at the end of their
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 5: day where they've had a long day. So it feels
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 5: like a lot more energy in the room and like
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 5: you actually get a feel for what it's like during
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: the work day instead of at the end when everybody
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 5: is like ready to pack it up and go home.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: And you don't see people with the fear of God
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: in them when you're talking to them, that they're gonna
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: say something wrong.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: I think that's you know, I think that's a relevant
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: part of it.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: Like I would just say, if I had tried to
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 5: go up to a Drake May figure last year and
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 5: gotten the story that I got with Drake May, I'm
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 5: not one hundred percent sure he would have talked No.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: I just don't know.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that would have happened off limit, right,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 5: So those types of things I think are nice, Like
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: we should know what's going on with Drake May. It
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be some sort of state secret.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: He's training, he's practicing. Yeah, he's doing things to get
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: ready football things.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: All right, now it's that time of the week.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: I'm excited. I'm excited. I don't know. I feel like
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: I did pretty good. I don't know.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, Paul, what happened last week?
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 4: Well, Mike's intuition is correct. Mike was the big winner
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 4: in week one in the overall thirteen and three. Wow,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: that is done outside standing, followed by Alex at twelve
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 4: and four, Paul at eleven and five, and then Evan
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 4: and Fred were nine and seven.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 5: Still making money.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: Fred, you turned that frown upside down because with the spread,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: which Fred and I like to refer to as the
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: men are separated from.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: The board counts.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: Fred was eleven four and one. Mike, solid week for you,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 4: nine six and one, Evan nine six and one, good
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: solid showing, and Alex and Paul seven eight and one.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 4: It's very unlike me. Took a lot of upsets last
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: week and not a lot of.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: Them came through. I like to thank my acceptance speech. Okay,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: well that's four games behind the lead. I'm pleased. I
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: didn't think I did that well going.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 4: That fast.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: Your feel for the league is just dissipating.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: Well, just so you know your full gamesind the overall league,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: that's okay.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: All right, that's not what matters.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: So we were we go to week two? Did we
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: see did what we see in week one make a difference?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: Was it real? Who? You know? That's why week two
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: was so tough because you never know what you saw,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: how much of it was actually what those teams are
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: going to be. Yeah, so let's get into it. We'll
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: start tonight on Prime Video eight fifteen. It's the one
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: and oh Bills against the one and oh Dolphins.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 4: The Dolphins by two and a half.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 4: Evidently the Dolphins aren't playing any road games this week
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 4: this year? I guess not.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Is that right now?
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 4: I mean September two games I've seen.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: I guess Buffalo owns Miami. I have lost track of
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: these things. That seems like Miami is fired up to
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: get over this hump against Buffalo from what I've seen.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Miami at home. I just
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: I didn't like what I saw out of Buffalo last week.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: I just I don't want I want to see And
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that as like a neutral fan, like I
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: want to see Josh Allen sit back and throw the
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: ball and pick, you know, and pick his spots with run.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: But it just felt like he got desperate. He started
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: running and you know, and it worked. But like I
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: just again, I don't know if it's sustainable. I like
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: Miami in this one. I will lay the.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: Points so Alex also likes Miami.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 5: Both ways, I'm gonna take Buffalo in this game. Miami
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 5: has yet to prove that they can actually beat another
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 5: good team in this Mike McDaniel era. They never beat
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 5: teams above five hundred, they never beat other playoff teams.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 5: You know, it's early, but I like the Bills in
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 5: this game, and I like MVP Josh Allen. Let him,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 5: let him run around and make plays.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in terms of being sustainable, let's worked for about
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 4: seven years. Miami. I'm gonna take here because it's a
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: Thursday night game. I think that a lot of stuff
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 4: that Evan said I agreed with, but short week. I
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: know it's still early in the season, but I'm going
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: to give the home team. I think both of these
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 4: teams had really bad starts in really good second halves.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: Buffalo dominated the second half of their game, but they
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: also played the Cardinals, who aren't as good as Jacksonville.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Miami at home.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, spot wise, it's a good one for
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins. But and even though I say the windows
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: closing for the Bills.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: I think you said it shut.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm picking the Bills to win this game.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: Bills to win.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go to alright, Paul outright.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: Outright, Bills out right wrote I wrote it down.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, and we got Alex's pick, right, we get
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: okay Uh. Sunday at one, the oh and one Raiders
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: go across country to play the oh to one Ravens.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 4: The Ravens by eight and a half.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: Big spread, that's a big spread. But I'm gonna I'm
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: gonna lay those points because I just I get a
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: bad feeling about the Raiders this year. You know, saw
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: little implosion last week. Gardner Minshew, I don't, I don't
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 3: know what's going on Baltimore. Maybe a little angry they
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: get back home. I like them big.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 5: Alex also likes Baltimore, but both ways. Yeah, I'm doing
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 5: the same thing. I think Baltimore bounces back this week.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna take Baltimore.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: You're overthinking and I'll chicken out.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 5: I'll take that.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't like given more than a touchdown
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 4: of the Ravens because they run the ball too much.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: But I will take the Ravens both ways.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: That's a good, good choice. Ravens both ways.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be wrong together then I can't make up
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 5: any ground though.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: That one o'clock on CBS, UH, the one and oh
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Chargers going across country to the oh to one Panthers.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: The lack by six six, Yeah, that's not enough. That's
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 4: not lack.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: Is somebody hurt on the lack or something that doesn't seem.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: Like well impressive.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: The Panthers still three for being at home, so it's
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: really the lack by nine.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: And that and there it is. I will take the
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: lack of the year, take the lack, lay the points.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: Alex also will take the lack both ways. Yeah, I'm
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 5: gonna do the same thing. I think the Panther's the
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 5: worst team in the NFL.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: I agree with that, and until I see something that
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: shows me differently. I will probably lay the points every week.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: I'll take the lack both ways.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm on board with that charges both ways. One o'clock
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: on Fox, it's the one and O Saints at the
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: one and O.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: Cowboys Cowboys by six.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: By the way, do we know which game Tom Brady's doing?
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 5: The Cowboys.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: He's doing the Cowboys again, Cowboys.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: This is a good game. I mean, New Orleans blue
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: doors last week, and Dallas obviously they're doing well. I'm
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: gonna go with Dallas at home, but I'll take those points.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be close. Would you say the points
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 3: were six?
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: So Alex is doing the same. She takes Dallas, but
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: she's gonna take those six points.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna do the same thing. I just I
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 5: liked how the New Orleans Saints played last week.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: They were a little scared of car break up here.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 5: So I am Alvin Kamara on my bench.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 4: I so, against my instincts, this is the spot. Dallas usually,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 4: as Fred likes to say, smells their own farts and
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: lays an egg. And I would at least take the
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: points here, but I'm not going to. I think New
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 4: Orleans played the Panthers. That's really no gauge. I think
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: that they played a real defense this week and Dallas
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: blows doors.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little worried because we're all in too
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: much agreement. Dallas both ways one o'clock on Fox. The
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: Baker may feel led. Buccaneers at want to oh travel
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: to Detroit to play the Lions. Also want to.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 4: Know rematch of a playoff game last year Wildcard game.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: I believe Destois by seven and a half.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: Detroit's got a really good offensive line, Tampa's got a
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: good defense. Though, I'm gonna I'm gonna take Detroit, but
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take those points for Tampa. I think they
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 3: hang in there with Baker, they can put some points
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: on the board.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: So Alex does the same Detroit, but she'll take the
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: seven and a half.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Detroit. Detroit. I just think they're a
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 5: better team. I'm going to take them at home.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, I agree with Evan that they're the better team,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 4: but seven and a half is a lot of points.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: I think Tampa looked pretty good offensively last week. Baker
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 4: baked as Fred lakes to say, I'm going to take
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: the points Detroit to win.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 5: I'll take the points.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, take the points. Lions win. But I
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: was thinking of picking the Buccaneers outright, but.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to take to do that.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Fox at Wonen won Colts at the ohen One Packers.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: The Colts by three.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because Jordan loves Who's who's the Malik will
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 5: willis hell hurt is love not that hurt actually.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 5: Lafleur said that he didn't seem to think it was
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 5: going to be long term.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: They didn't.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: They didn't put him on.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 6: I r.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 5: Yes, they didn't think it would be four weeks, but
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 5: this one maybe not.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: God, I I I don't know. I'm just not a
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: believer in India.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: I will take Indy.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 4: I'll lay the points, so Alex is also taking Indie
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 4: both ways.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 5: I'm going to take the Packers. I know, Malik willis
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 5: us your bold decision.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: I kind of wanted to make it. I couldn't do it.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 5: I just it's lambeau Field. It's their first home game.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: I like them.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 5: They can just hand the ball off to Josh Jacobs
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: twenty five times. Like I feel like the Laflora will
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 5: be able to to design a game plan for Willis.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to go with the pack.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to take the Colts, but I'm worried
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 4: about it because Richardson is just so sort of a
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 4: ratic like yeah boom bloomer bust and I think in
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: Lambeau like you guys said, But I'm going to take
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 4: the Colts without without Jordan Love obviously.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: So here's the game. You know, like if Love was
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: out for a long time, it's worth you know, it
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: kills your motivation more than now. You just need a
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: seat holder. And you've seen good teams where.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 4: We can beat the Colts.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they bring in the and they, like Evan said,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: with So I'm going to take the Packers.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 4: Think it's a sound reason.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: That's a much better way of articulating. When I was
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 5: trying to say, I.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 4: Thought I was stumbling all over my that's very very
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 4: sound reasoning.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 5: I'm very surprised.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we just need to keep the seat for a
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: few games and then we'll be all right. So let's
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: play our ass again the year.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: You're like, well, what's the difference, We're going right? Going nowhere?
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 5: Like you know, twenty sixteen Patriots with Jimmy g and
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett. You know, you just kind of get through it.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 5: Then he comes back.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: One o'clock on CBS, the Owen one Browns are at
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: the Owen one Jaguars.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: Jaguars by by three.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: Man, it's up there. Cleveland's up against it right now.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: That's hard to pick them on the road in Jacksonville
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 3: probably gonna be hot. I mean, I don't know how
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: you roll with Deshaun Watson here three not a lot
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: of points. I'm gonna pretty confidently take the Jags and
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 3: lay the points.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: So I agree that Deshaun Watson look terrible. I just
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 5: think the Jaguars are kind of soft football team and
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 5: the Browns are the opposite of a soft football team.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna take Cleveland in this game. I just
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 5: think they're going to control the line of scrimmage. That's
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 5: a ballsy pitch and they're gonna win that way.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Cleveland's better than Jacksonville, but not with
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 4: all the guys they have out. I'm gonna take Jacksonville
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: at home to uh take take care of a team
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 4: that I don't think they're as good as. But yeah,
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: they're missing a lot of.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: Parts taking Trevor Lawrence to beat the washed Watson was
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: I like that, that's.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 5: Good for it.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: Plus that whole thing hanging over there again, I think
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: is relevant.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: Sunday at one CBS the one and oh. Forty nine
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: Ers are at the one and oh Vikingsniners by five
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: and a half. McCaffrey says he wants to play right.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like that they already ruled him up.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: They're they're trending them that way.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, I just I can't. San Francisco look just look
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: too easy for them moving the ball at times against
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: the Jets. I gotta take San Francisco. I'm gonna lay
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: the points.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 4: Alex also takes San Francisco both ways, and she took Jacksonville.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure I said that, but she also took
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: Jacksonville both ways.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: I will never pick against the forty nine ers forty
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 5: nine ers both ways. Kyle theay roll. He says he
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 5: has an undrafted running back that basically looked like Christian
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: McCaffrey in every Yeah, Niners, Wally both ways.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: I will take the Niners both ways. Although I was
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 4: impressed with the Vikings even though they played the Giants.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 4: I thought they looked they looked like they had a plan. Agreed, Yeah,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: Sam darnol.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 5: I think Kevin o'conne is a good coach.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the forty nine ers, but I'm tempted,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: but I'll stick with the forty nine ers. Sunday at
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: one on Fox, We're gonna skip that over. I'm sorry. Uh,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: Sunday at one at CBS, the one Jets are at
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: the oen one Titans.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: Jets by three and a half.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Will Love has cut some strays there from from
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: Belichier two about his that you know, throw it fumble.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: Pick, his amount of talent terrible.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: No, well, just the mistake. He just pointed out the mistake.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah right, not the big army.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Jets. They gotta they gotta put
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: something together. But I was not impressed with them the
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: other night. They just they looked slow to me, and
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: I've watched plenty of slow teams the last couple of years.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: But I'll take the Jets in this situation.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 5: Alex also will take the Jets both ways. I'm gonna
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 5: take the home dog. I'm gonna take the Titans in
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 5: this game. I'm not convinced of the Jets of anything
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 5: right now with the Jets, so say that.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: I have agendas.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's it's obvious where he learns.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, screw the Jets.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think there's been a lot of focus on
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, and I don't think that had really a
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: whole lot to do with it. Gave up four hundred
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: yards and all though all those rushing yards, that defense
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: is going to be embarrassed.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: I think they blow doors off. I'll take the Jets
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 5: both ways.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna take the Jets as well. As much
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: as I hate to do that, guys aren't bold enough.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: Sunday at one on Fox, it's the oh and one
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: Giants at the oh to one Commanders.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 4: The Commanders by one and a half.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: Who is watching this game?
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: Yikes, that's funny with they're both they're both own one right,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: like they're both oh and one and But yet Washington
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: still feels okay because they got you know, they just
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: drafted their quarterback and things are just completely falling apart
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 3: for the Giants right now. Daniel Jones is just like
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: a laughing stock at the moment. It can change, but
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think it does this weekend. I'm gonna take
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: the Commandors and I'll lay the point and a half.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, Alex takes Washington both ways.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna take Washington both ways to to if
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 5: the Panthers are the worst team in the league, this
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 5: might be two and three right now, but I think
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 5: the Commanders are a little bit better than the Giants. Yeah.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 4: I think both of these teams stink, but I think
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 4: the Giants stunk a lot worse in Week one, and
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: I think that they will bounce back and they're gonna
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: win this game out right.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all you took the words right out of my mouth.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: Giants win this game despite everybody.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 4: If they get blasted again, I shunned people Bryan Table.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: Again, But I think they're gonna, at least for one
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: week turn it around. Now we skip over the Patriots
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: at one o'clock. But you know, these games seem pretty easy,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: but not as easy to drink and easy to enjoy
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: as bud Light, which is the official beer sponsor of
• 1:45:25

  Speaker 2: and the four and I did some reads seamless. Did
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: you like that?
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 5: I like it?
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, all right? Now we move to the late
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: slate four oh five. The one Rams on Fox are
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: at the oh to one Cardinals.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 5: The Rams by one.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: Really, that's interesting.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 4: This was a little bit of a that's interesting spread myself.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm going to take the Rams. Then is
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: there to be on anybody in this one pole?
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: The Cardinals? I believe that is correct.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 3: You know the NFC was, uh yeah, I'll take the Rams,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: and you guys just don't believe anything that I saw
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles Rams.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 5: Alex Alex takes the Cardinals.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: That's like, I think the first like different one we've had.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 5: I'm going to take the Rams. I just I think
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 5: Coler Murray's attitude stinks. Like they interviewed him the other
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 5: day and he's asked about getting Marvin Harrison Junior the
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: ball and he's like, it's not my job. You're literally
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 5: the quarterback. Dude, Like, what do you mean it's not
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 5: your job to get Marvin Harrison the ball. I think
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: he's in his own head. Yeah, I'm going Rams.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: So I like the Rams a lot obviously, but they
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 4: really banged up for for a week two game. I'm
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 4: going to take the Rams both ways. But I think
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 4: that has something to do with the spread all the
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 4: guys they lost in that game the other night. The
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 4: line was in shambles.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: Pa Puka. The Cooper Cup looked like vintage in that game.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 4: But now I think you go into the game knowing
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 4: that that's all you have to worry about, as opposed
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 4: to Pooka is getting watching they were good.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that the Cardinals are going to win
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, but they're going to be in the
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: top five in the NFL in scoring this year.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 5: I'll take that bet.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, Uh, Cardinals return You're gonna return kicks for touchdowns
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 4: every week.
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals are gonna win this game. So there you go.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: So let it be written.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: And thus it was my job.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: Shoot, I just lost my hold on hope.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 5: Please Cincinnati, is that candas.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: We have to do it in your lane, bro, stay
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: in your lame FO five CBS the one and oh
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: Steelers are at the oh to one Broncos Pittsburgh.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 4: By two and a half.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 5: This game, this game.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 3: Bone Nicks throwing picks. That's good. I like that Bonicks
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: throwing picks. Sorry, spit there. Uh, I don't know, man,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 3: this one's tough.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna get here.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Pittsburgh. I'll lay the points. Pittsburgh lay
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: the points.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 5: Alex also takes Pittsburgh. I am going to take Pittsburgh
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: as well. That defense against Bonnicks is terrifying.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 4: I think nothing of Pittsburgh overall, but for that reason.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 4: I think they'll torture bo Nicks Pittsburgh both ways.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: What was this number two and a half Broncos favorite? No? Oh,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: steal his favorite. Yes, I'll take the Broncos home, by
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: the way, Paul correct.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 4: Unlike week one when they were at Seattle. No, no, yes, yes.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: For twenty five CBS. The on one Bengals because of
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: the Patriots are at the one, and oh Chiefs because
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: of the Ravens.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 5: Chiefs by five.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 3: Chiefs by five. Good game, But I just will it be.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: I just don't know if Cincinnati can get back up
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: to speed. I mean, I just got concerns about Burrow
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 3: as wrists. They're asking about the water bottle thing. He's like,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: what are you guys talking about? It's just some nonsense
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 3: going on there. And T Higgins that is that is
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 3: an uncertain I don't believe you practiced. It doesn't matter
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 3: because I already said last week with the I know
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 3: you like picked up a water bottle kind of funny.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, it's maybe two talking about a lot of stuff.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sticking to my role though, I'm picking Kansas City
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 3: and every game this year, probably I'm gonna take Kansas City.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 5: I'll lay the point. Alex also takes the Chiefs. I'm
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 5: gonna take the Chiefs too. I'm worried about the vibes
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 5: with Cincinnati.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: I just think I'm not worried about it. I'm happy
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. I'm worried about those vibes. I'm worried
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 5: about Joe Burrow. I just something seems off about that
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 5: whole operation right now. So I'm taking the Chiefs both ways.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna do the same thing for the same reason.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 4: I just didn't like anything that I saw from Cincinnati.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 4: And uh, this is less about the Chiefs as it
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 4: is about the Bengals. I'll take the Chiefs both ways.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh and two Bengals. I can't wait. Oh, they're
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: like my new Jets. I know. I really I'm more
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: excited about them losing than the Jets. I really am.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: I can't. Oh, it's great, all right, So I'm taking
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs both ways. Minute, Fred, So, I need everyone
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: to take out their notepads for this next game eight
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: twenty on. Oh no, not this game, the next game.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: So A twenty on NBC and Universo it's the one
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: and O Bears at the one and O Texans.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, we have to watch this game, Houston by six,
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: you know what, I'll actually but they got to play
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 4: both these teams, so I'll watch this game. But I'm
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 4: gonna sky.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I thought I thought Houston looked good. Man
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: Tank de ELL's back, He's he's snifty. I mean, my
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 3: stupid idiot guy Stefan Diggs. He's a good player. Unfortunately,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Houston all allay the points.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 5: I was talking to my dad yesterday, is in a
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: Survivor pool this year, and I told him to take
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 5: Houston over Chicago. I almost told him to take I
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: told him to take Baltimore over the Raiders at first,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 5: but he said he didn't want to use Baltimore this
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 5: early in the season, so we settled on Houston over
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 5: the Bears. So I'll stick with it. Houston both ways.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 5: Alex takes Houston, but she took the points.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: Oho like Caleb Williams.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 5: Sorry, Alex, I skipped over you. I will I'm gonna
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 5: lay the points.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 4: I think I think Caleb Williams would be fine, but
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 4: he was not fine in the first game. And against Houston,
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 4: you're gonna need to keep up. Tennessee allowed them to
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 4: sort of hang around despite the fact that they couldn't
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 4: move the ball. That they won't have that luxury the Texans.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 4: I think we'll pull away.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. CJ. Stroud says to Caleb, this is
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 2: what a young quarterback looks like.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: Boom.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Texans win that outright now. I need you to
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: take your notepads out. Eight fifteen. This game is on ESPN.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: It's on ESPN two, It's on ESPN Deportes, and if
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: you're in the Atlanta or Philadelphia area, it's probably on
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 2: some other channels too. Sure, so a lot of places
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: covering this game. The oh to one Falcons are at
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 2: the one to ohero Eagles.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 4: Biggles by six and a half.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 3: She's my lines are way off this week. Yeah, I
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: just I don't.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 5: I don't believe in.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: You get your lines from Jimmy the Barbers on.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 4: The streets to the spread, and I just I just
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 4: go to DraftKings.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 5: Very ESPN's had the same lines as Paul.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 2: So we go to draft.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 3: Now, this one's Draftings.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: You're listening.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 4: Draft means they are presenting sponsor for the post game show.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: So I think that we should at least draft.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean show a little.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 4: I know that every week you mocking my can I
• 1:53:19

• 1:53:22
  Speaker 5: I can't.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not allowed to. Fred I signed a contract that you're.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: Not allowed probably it's not allowed to use it.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 3: You can't even look at it, Paul, they don't even
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 3: go to anything.
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 4: I look at it every week. You can see every
• 1:53:32

• 1:53:50
  Speaker 4: literally google have week whatever it is NFL later slimees DraftKings.

  Speaker 5: Yes, you can go to you just can't.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: Use the s your funeral.
• 1:54:04

• 1:54:06
  Speaker 4: Otherwise you're just sorry.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 5: We had to hurry on.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: Spread.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 3: Eagles fly, and I'm gonna lay the points against Atlanta.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fan, not a fan. They didn't hire Bill?
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 4: What did you say? They did not?
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 5: Speaking of not hiring Bill, who they hire Moster Morris?
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 5: Of course? Whatever? He Morris. He came out and said
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 5: point blank that Kirk Cousins stunk last week out in
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 5: the media. It was like, some of these new coaches
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 5: need to learn a filter, you know what I'm saying. Uh,
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 5: I'm going to take the Eagles both ways. I did
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 5: not like what I saw from Atlanta last week either.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 4: I would agree that I didn't like anything that I
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 4: saw from Atlanta, but I don't think they're that bad.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 4: I will take the Eagles to win the game, but
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the points.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna take both ways. All right. Now we
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: go back to Sunday at one, and this game is
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: on Fox. Uh the one to oh Seahawks are at
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: the one and oh.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 4: Patriots Seahawks by three and a half.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 4: Wow, Oh, thank you, thank you Draftking.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: So the Patriots get so they're really six and a
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: half pays.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 5: Nobody believe that. Nobody believes in us Fred.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: That you get three points at home and then you
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 2: get six. So there you go.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think this is gonna be a
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: tight game, and I really feel like it's gonna be
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 3: one of those ones. How does an unfold? You know,
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 3: who gets the lead, who kind of gets off to
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: the good start and kind of establishes themselves first. They
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 3: the Kenneth Walker thing is a huge problem for them.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: He's I mean, but I still think the other guy, Sharbonne,
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: is pretty good. But I'm gonna go with the Patriots
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: in this one. It might be a little bit more
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 3: of a heart pick than a head pick, but I
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: can't pick against my guys right now. I'll take the
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: Patriots twenty four to twenty.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 5: So Alex also pick.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: Alex also likes the Patriots, picking him last week.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 4: Twenty one seventeen, Alex picks the Patriots.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: Look at this check everybody.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 5: So the tough thing to me about this picking this
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 5: game today is we don't know Kenneth Walker's status. If
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker was playing for Seattle, I would pick Seattle
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 5: rather comfortably. Since he is on the fence, I'm gonna
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 5: say twenty three to twenty Seattle in this game. I
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 5: just don't think the Patriots have quite enough offense. They
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 5: have a three headed monster over there in Seattle at
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 5: wide receiver. I just don't think the Patriots have quite
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 5: enough offense to keep up. But the Walker injury does
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 5: make it interesting, so.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 4: I have not necessarily changed. I felt like the Patriots
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 4: this was their best chance for a win early in
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 4: the season. I'm going to stick with that. I think
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 4: that they will beat Seattle at home in their home opener.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be easy, and I think what
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 4: Mike said is really important. Like the start of the game,
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 4: other Patriots able to dictate the way the game has
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 4: played the way they were last week. I think that
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 4: makes all the difference in the world. They throw when
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 4: they want to, not when they have to. Same thing
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 4: for Seattle. I think I think the teams are so
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 4: kind of similar the way they're set up and the
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 4: way they want to play. I think this is another
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 4: low scoring, field goal oriented game. I'm going to say
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 4: sixteen thirteen pats.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: Paul, You and I are are very close there. I
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: say seventeen sixteen pats. So well, one point, I don't think.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think Mike will be able to handle that.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: I think I want Mike will.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 3: Be I had heart palpitations last week, and I don't
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 3: think I'm gonna drink coffee this week because I will
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: have I will of course good that, thank you.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I am not sleeping on Seattle. I just think
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 4: it's a good spot for the Patriots.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: But that is something everybody forge Patriots. How one week changes?
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 4: I know, not everybody picked.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: I said, everyone except Oh I'm sorry.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 5: I have to see them for more than one and twenty.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: On All Access. How did that go? What did Mike pick?
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 4: Mike and I both picked the Patriots too close, close games,
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 4: low school Steve Burton pick on that show. Burton has
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 4: never picked against them, so that doesn't count.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 3: Never.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 5: He chastised us last.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 4: Week for not being on board. Afterwards, well before when
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 4: it happened, Yeah, and then and then he then he
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 4: took a bow this week.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, sounds familiar.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think Seattle's pretty good, but I don't
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 4: think there as good as if.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: This was Tuesday. I would have picked Seattle, I swear
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: to God. But the more I learned how close they are,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: how they're made up, and then the injuries to their defense.
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 4: Only four starters that didn't practice yesterday.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that that swayed me.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 5: That get I don't understand how they're similar. Like that's
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 5: the part that I'm not getting.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 4: I think they want to run well they Seattle definitely
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 4: has better receivers, but they both want to run the ball.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 4: They want to lean on defense, they want to be
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 4: physical when they want to throw in spots.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think head coach.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 4: Defensive mind, dude coaches, Well that's the way they've played
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 4: for a while. Now, that's the way they played in
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 4: the first game. Yeah, so I'm just going to assume.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 5: Well, when you're Denver six guys in the box defensively,
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 5: then you're probably going to run the ball. I just
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 5: look at Seattle and I look at those three receivers
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 5: like I would take any one of those receivers as
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 5: the Patriots number one guy tomorrow.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that. And so I just don't
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 4: I don't think Geno Smith is any good.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: I think if it's a problem, it's going to be
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: the pass rush too. It's gonna you know, like those
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 3: guys can cover a little bit, but it's going to
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 3: be Geno Smith. You're not able, you know. And and
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 3: a couple of times he'll take opportunities to squirt out
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 3: and get it get some first downs, you know. I
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 3: just that that if it goes bad that I think
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 3: you're right, and it's going to be we couldn't get
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 3: to them.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not telling you this is a lock or anything
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 4: like that. I mean, Evan might be right. I think
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 4: you could come out and they could just say, you
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 4: know what, We're going to spread them out with three
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 4: We're going to go three wides. We're going to throw
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 4: the ball all over the place, and before you know it,
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 4: it's fourteen to three in the middle of the secondar Gino. Yeah,
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 4: I mean I could see that kind of a thing happening.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 4: I just I think it's probably going to be another tight,
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 4: low scoring, defensive minded game, and I like the Patriots
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 4: chances at home in that kind of a game.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 5: I hope you guys are right.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, assuming they don't make the mistakes of
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 2: last year and they keep it relatively clean, I like
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: their chances.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 4: You know what, if Seattle doesn't make any mistakes, it's going.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: To be a close game. Yeah.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 4: I think Seattle doesn't make any mistakes. Evan's going to
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: be right.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 5: I just worry about the fact that, to me, Zach
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 5: Taylor refused to run the ball in that game last
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 5: week when the Patriots were begging them to run the football.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 5: And I don't think Seattle is going to have that
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 5: kind of issue. Like if the Patriots are going to
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: play a bunch of two deep zone. Seattle's going to
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 5: turn the ball, certainly.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 2: Both teams are going to look at the other team
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: from the week before, and yeah, you know, but just
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 2: like us, how much does that tell you about the
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: team just one week? So I think there could be
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: surprises in store for both teams.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 4: To Evan's point, the Bengals average four point four yards
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 4: to carry last week, same as the Patriots. They just
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 4: didn't run.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: The ball right, all right, that's gonna be it for
• 2:01:04
