• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for one of those intros. Damn you, brother, But I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. You know I feel the exact same way
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: about you. We just got done with our little home
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and Home. We came on my pod. That was a
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. So let's keep the trainer rolling baby.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and speaking of Roland, the Pats are crushing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it this year. You know, I shouldn't do that. That's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: bad for him. That's just that's me.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be that. I'm not gonna do it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I'm also not that much for sure.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: That's fair. Yeah, I'm just I'm just not that guy.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I don't like.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't do that. I don't know
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: why I did that nice little segue. I guess it
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just fit. It just felt like a good segue. But
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, Yeah, that's fair. The Patriots a team that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and you know what too, And I'm gonna get into
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: this with one of my matchup pieces.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: I don't care what a team's record is.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I will never overlook anyone, but especially the Patriots after
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what happened last year in New England when the Bills lost.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But high level review of what this Patriots team is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: right now. Jacoby Brissett starts the year Drake May, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: takes so in Week six against the Texans.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: It has been rolling forward.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Got some issues on the old line, got some issues
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: on the defense. You have a coach for the first
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: time that is not Bill Belichick. Like all of these
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: drama storyline filled aspects weekend and week out surrounding this team,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but when it comes to the actual football aspect of.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: It, what is this team? Who is this team?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: High level overview, like, describe what the Patriots are right
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: now as a team heading into this game.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So start with the good Drake May. It was like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Drake May, Drake May looks awesome. He's finally a quarterback
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that I think Bills fans aren't gonna be happy to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: play twice a year coming out of New England. That
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: has not been the case obviously since twenty nineteen, but
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: really since week ten, Drake May. The first few weeks,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you know, there were some kind of boneheaded mistakes that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: trickled in against Miami a few weeks ago as well,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But really since Week ten, the Patriots have been one
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of the more efficient offenses in the league when it
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: comes to actually moving the football down the field. Now,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: they have not often been able to punctuate that by
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: actually getting into the m zone.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: It's kind of funny.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: They went through a stretch where they were the best
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: red zone offense in the NFL for like three weeks
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: with Drake May. Then since then they've been one of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the worst red zone offenses, but they've been one of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the most efficient on like a success rate basis. Of course,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you can't have nice things in New England, you know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in this day and age.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: But all had enough nice things for forever.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I am always you had enough nice things for like
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a lifetime.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: But continue whatever I'm with the president and the present stinks.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: No, But again, Drake May has been the guy that
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: everybody hoped for. That gives some reason for optimism when
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it comes to this team. Also, they're running the ball better.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They really stunk at it for most of the year,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and a lot of that, obviously is the offensive line.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: David Andrews went down pretty early this season.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Now the only guy on the offensive line who's not
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a replacement level starter or worse is Mike and win It.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: So obviously there's been some issues there.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: But the good news is that the run game, their
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: chemistry there is kind of getting better. So you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that's one kind of bright light. But now we had
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to talk about literally everything else. The defense is not
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: as good as a lot of people anticipated.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: You and I included.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I know we both thought that there was a good
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: chance that they could build on what they did last
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: season with Christian Zawa as finally healthy and that Judon
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: being healthy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Obviously, Judon gets traded.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Christian Barmore has to deal with blood clotts so early
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: on in the summer that happened to him. He really
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: didn't play until just a few weeks ago. He's still
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: clearly getting his legs under him, still getting in football shape.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I don't really expect to know, like Christian Barmore for
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the rest of the season. It's just a miracle that
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he's able to get on a football field. Barmore largely
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: carried the defense. Last year, his ability to be disruptive
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: no matter what offense has tried to do to him
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was a big reason they were so good against the run.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: And also you have Juwan Bentley.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Last year you had Lawrence guy like he had a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: lot of very good run stoppers. This year, Juwan Bentley,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: another guy and another captain who goes down due to injury.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Kyle Dugger and Jabro Peppers have both been banged up
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and have missed a lot of time. At times they
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: both miss games together, and now I think you can
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: kind of see that their injuries show up on the field.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: They don't look nearly.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: As explosive, and that's been an issue. The quarterbacks with
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the Patriots, they've actually been pretty good. Jonathan Jones like
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the worst game of his career against the Rams, but
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: everything that they can do to defenses, you know, that's
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: kind of tough. But the quarterbacks like Christigan Zales, he's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: been fantastic. I think he deserves to be an All
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Pro this season. Marcus Jones, he's you know, against Garrett
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Wilson and Jalen Wattle, they had some big catches on him,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: but he's been very competitive. And then you know, for
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the most part, John Jones is still solid. So the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: defense has been very disappointing. A lot of that has
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to do with not having Bill Pelichick, a lot of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it has to do with just not enough talent or
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a sufficient level of talent like they had last year.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And then you know, just coaching. Drod Mayo is very inexperienced.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: He hasn't really shown that he brings anything other than
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: being a former player who garners respect. You don't really
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: see on the field, and you know, between these sixty minutes,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: where is the product that Drod is supposed to be
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: adding All he really has seen to do is be
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: able to make headline because he says silly things at
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: press conferences. They either get taken out of context or
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he just phrases poorly and then has to walk back
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the next day.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: So that's where we're at.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The offense is actually sneakily looking good, thanks largely to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Drake May Christian den Zal has balling out.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Everything else with the Patriots has been very, very disparting.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Early returns on Drake may for you, I kind of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: want to pick your brain on that you and I had. Oh,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I think going into the draft kind of like what, uh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: whend Win did a little home and home.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: We do so many home and homes with you and
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: I with our shows.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, a little bit when you kind of asked
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: me like, oh, you know, what don't you want to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: see for the Patriots in the draft? And I did
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: not want Drake May to go to the Patriots. I
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: had Drake May ahead of Jayden and Daniels. Jane Daniels
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: has at a very very good season, like what he's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: done and what Cliff Kingsbury has done. It surprised me
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: like at least not even just in their pairing, but
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like the Kingsbury offense not hitting that like week ten
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: or eleven wall like they always hit.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: McLaurin being unlocked.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Everything that Jane Dane knows has been able to do.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: But I thought Drake May was the second best quarterback
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: in the draft. I really liked him. I did not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: want him to go to New England. What are your
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: thoughts like early returns sample sizes small for both guys.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: For all we know, one of them or both could
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, flail out or become the best quarterbacks of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: all time? So there's so much left to be decided here,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: but early returns and thoughts on Drake may especially in
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: comparison to like, you know, oh no, I wish Jane
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Daniels had dropped you know so and so like you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: how do you feel right now with Megan and.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: What you see?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He succeeded my expectations and I thought he was the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: best quarterback in the draft in terms of the tools,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the off the field stuff, where in terms of personality,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: work ethic, leadership, and the way that he kind of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: presents himself as the person who obviously is trying to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: be the face of a franchise.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: I thought he had all those things.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I thought that it would take time before all those
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: really came to the forefront and you saw the leader,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the crazy talent, because there were some inconsistencies.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: He's only twenty two years old. I know.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Dan Brugler mentioned that it might take a while for him,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: not a while, but just take time for him to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: be in an NFL locker room and kind of understand
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: how he fits into that whole puzzle.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: He's been amazing, man like, even going.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Back to the spring in the summer, anytime we ask
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a coach about him, it's Drake's doing everything that we've
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: asked him to do.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: He is staying late, he's coming in early. He is
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: showing all the progress we want from him.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: The only critique that we've heard from coaches that were
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: significant for Drake May was a turnover issue. And to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: be honest, you look at the numbers, and since he
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: started his turnover where the play rates pretty high, especially
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like it's entering in college, that was really good for him.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: And early on it was like.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a sailed pass here, a bonehead decision against the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Bears where he doesn't throw it away enough and he
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: gets picked off on the sideline. Like those things that
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I thought were gonna pop up did happen. But the turnovers,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: other than some strip sacks that was like a big issue.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Hasn't been strip sacks since against the Dolphins, which was
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: like maybe the biggest rookie mistake he ever made, trying
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to swim zack sealer like add the ball out here,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: and it was just like, oh, Drake.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: No, like that's the kind of thing I give you
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: credit for not doing so.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But with the turnovers, it's something different most of the time,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And when you look at the most recent ones, they're
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: not actually his fault. It's usually when he and his
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: receiver just aren't on the same page. So with all
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that being said, the mistakes haven't been nearly as consistent
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: as I thought they'd be.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: He's much more accurate.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You know, the short the short passing the game, those
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: were big areas of concern for me.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: He's been on the money.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Like a couple of weeks ago, he had to just
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: keep throwing a bunch of outbreakers against Guds Bradley's Cover
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: three defense.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: He was on the money.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Every time he's throwing with the anticipation, he's manipulating defenders
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the decision making. He's happy taking what defenses give him.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But when he needs to get downfield in a hurry.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: You saw it last week against the Cardinals, throws a
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: deep bomb in the bucket to Kendrick Bourne, moves the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: defender and hits Austin Hooper down the scene like you
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: see the aggressiveness and when he wants to be aggressive.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: When he wants to be aggressive, it's like, Oh, he's
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: picking his spots and he's picking them well.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: But what's really impressed me is.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: His ability to avoid the mistakes, avoid the bad decisions, consistently,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: have his eyes in the right place and when defenses
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: sent pressure, like when they try to get him with scheme,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: for the most part, he handles it very well.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: So I'm over the moon with the kid.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I think he's been fantastic, very very few criticisms outside
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: of things that you would expect for a first year quarterback,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and even then, I think in a lot of ways
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: he's playing like more of a veteran than you see
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: again the patents and the poise that he shows weekends
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and week.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been impressed with him.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: And obviously I don't grind as much pats tape as
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you do, but I don't know if anybody does.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: But the should that's fair. That's fair.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: We' just the the hopefully the level at which he's
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: taken what defenses have given him is the is the
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: big one for me.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Like so much of the North Carolina stuff was just
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like crazy, Like Caleb Williams I think, got a lot
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of credit and praise as this guy who could create
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like something out of nothing and off script and out
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of structure. But Drake may was doing a ton of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that stuff too, like flipping the ball like left handed
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: stuff like crazy things at North Carolina and my bigger thing,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of to your point was like, Okay,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: like how can he how can he refine and play
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: more quarterback, like actually playing quarterbacks similar to kind of
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: like the not to make the comparison and a low hanging fruit,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but because they're and they're two completely different players, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: similar to kind of like the Josh Allen conversation, like,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: oh man, you got this dude with all these intangibles,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: who can make these crazy plays? Can we just like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: smooth him out a little bit and get him to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: play quarterback and not lose the crazy awesome stuff, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: just get a little more neutral or a little more inconsistency.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And given the struggles with the offensive line, I think
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: his playmaking ability and athleticism has like lent it to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: him being able to have success this year in a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: multitude of regards. But I think he's really set like
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: an encouraging foundation going forward, like regardless of what happens
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: this season, and it's just like, Okay, we got the guy,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: let's protect him. Let's maybe add some more weapons in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: some way, shape or form, maybe figure things out on
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the entire defensive side of the ball. But yeah, I've
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: been I've been impressed with may. I honestly think Caleb
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Williams has done some good stuff. But I feel like
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Caleb is probably third out of like the the top
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: three qbs this year.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: In terms of like who's playing and who's done one.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Be honest, I think it's like Dayden Drake bow and.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The only thing that holds me back with that, and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: this is probably doing a disservice to bon Nicks. And
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: also I have not watched enough Broncos offensive tape at all.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Also I saw how a bunch of Broncos people.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Just eviscerated Nate Tice because he made a comment one time,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: so I wont iculous. But I just the thing that
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: holds me back from the bow Knicks praise is that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, like Sean Sean Payton made like Taysom Hill
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: work as a quarterback, Like I feel like he could
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: make me work as a quarterback, and my shoulder is shot.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Like that's the only thing that holds me back a little.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But Nicks deserves as flowers. I just literally have not
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: watched any Broncos. It's funny too, because I've watched like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: six or seven games of like Broncos defense.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I not once, but let me watch the offense.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody he's like clamoring to watch bot Nicks,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: but like, hey, he's doing what he's got to do.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: He's making the plays, and at the end of the day,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: like you know, Caleb Williams is a kind of a
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: dumpster fire situation. It's not a stare evaluation. But bo
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Nicks is doing the damn things. You gotta give us flowers.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Caleb Williams next year. When
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Brady leaves the Bills and becomes the head coach
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: of the Bears.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: That's an idea. You're not on the Ben Johnson bandwagon.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, there's only he can only go to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: so many places or do so many things. I do
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: think Joe Brady maybe goes to New Orleans just because
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of his LSU ties, his Saints ties, Like maybe that
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: works in but I mean, just with the year that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they're having, if Allan wins the MVP, if they get
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: past the Chiefs, like, I just think it's that Joe
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Brady is going to be a super hot name for
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a head coach somewhere. And I don't know if you've
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: got your pick if you're Joe Brady, like maybe the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Saints call is alluring enough, but like I don't know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to go to Chicago and be like, yeah, I can
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: be the guy who can get the most out of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and Romo Dunze and like some pieces there
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and we can get some more in the I feel like, joh,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: tough job, I know, right, I mean there's that, but
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: then if it doesn't work out, everybody in Chicago is
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: going to like call.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: For your head after like the first preseason games.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So man, yeah, those higher arks, it's a dangerous It's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a dangerous, dangerous game. Any other thoughts high level about
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the paths before we dive into the meat of this episode, Taylor, Let's.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Get into the meat, because honestly, if I keep going
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: at the thousand foot view, I'm gonna want to jump.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: So damn that way. Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I wanted to ask answer a quick question in the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: chat from Pops who asked. Pops said, do the Pats
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: play more zone or man defense? According to Sis, they
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: are predominantly more zone than man, as every defense is,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: but they have the third highest man coverage rate on
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the year, so they do play a good chunk of man,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: but everybody plays more zone than man, and everybody plays
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Cover three for the most part as their dominant coverage
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: despite the too high revolution that some people like to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: act that everybody's playing too high coverages and too high
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: coverages only they gotta hate that conversation.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Well, the Patriots, actually that's been the one difference in
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: their defense. It's they're still playing a lot of they're
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: actually playing even more man than they have in the past,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: which is saying something because they're always like top three
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: in man coverage rate, but really they're getting away from
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the cover three with a decision I don't personally love.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they only have a twenty three percent Cover three
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: rate this year, which is like low.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Usually they're like the middle of the pack because they
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: play a lot of Cover two as well. Now they're
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: playing more cover two, really more split safety period. They're
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: playing more Cover two. They're playing more quarters, not a ton,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: but they're playing more than they used to because they
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: used to almost never play quarters unless they just didn't
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: have the guys on defense, like the year before they
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: got Gonzo, when they just had John Jones, Jack Jones
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and Marcus Jones. They were just so undersized they couldn't
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: play man, so they played a ton of quarters. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: now they got Gonzo and they are playing more split
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: safety stuff. Also, rettle more cover zero, and it's not
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: worked out well for them. I pray that we do
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: not see Cover zero this week because I can't see
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen taking two kids to that particular challenge. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: think he would absolutely shred them if they decided to
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: do that. But yeah, that's the biggest difference. More Cover
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: two less Cover three, and that take more quarters, but
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: not enough that really, I think you're gonna notice the difference.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Very good insight. Yeah, I just read the data and
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: you gave the actual meat behind it. Well done, very
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: well done. Yeah. And Cover zero has not worked out
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: for a lot of teams.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Against the Bills, he's hit Mac Collins on touchdowns, multiple
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Jets. Against the Cards, he hit Amari
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Cooper on a touchdown against Cover zero.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Teams go to it in like the low red zone.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Tennessee did it, and they dropped like two defensive tackles,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: so it was like a Cover zero like whole type
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of look, and it was a touch over.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: What's the goal there?
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And Honestly, if I'm in it, I'm surprised that the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Chiefs usually do it with success. If I'm doing anything
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: in the red zone, especially the low red zone against
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen on third down, I'm dropping eight and I'm
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: doing like a muddle rush with.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Three to kind of keep him pending.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, maybe some odd mirror type of stuff where
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you're trying to get somebody to just spike inside, get
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: him off the spot, and then take him out with your.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Aggressive spy or flush him or funnel him somehow, some way.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm throwing numbers because it's just not the one
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: on one stuff, just as not work for defense is enough.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: But to each their own, I'm not a defensive coordinator.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: What the hell do I know?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I guess Let's move on critical elements that will decide
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Bills versus Patriots. For those who don't know what we're
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: going to do, myself and Taylor, We're each going to
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: give our top three matchup pieces that we think will
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: decide this game between the Bills and the Pats. It
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: could be as large scale or as granular as we want.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: An entire side of the ball, a certain player, a
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: position group, a specific formation, alignment, call down, in distance,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: area of the field. Anything and everything is up for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: discussion here in this segment on this show. For those
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of you watching live and playing at home, feel free
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to comment with your own top three, or feel free
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: to ridicule or praise each of ours.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Here. The world is yours, Taylor, the floor is yours.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: You are the game.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you have them ranked. If you do,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: feel free to start with them. However, which way, shape
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: or form you choose to you may start God's speeds.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: My first one is the Patriots have got to stop
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: the run.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: That's just it's not containing the run or you know,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: because what's happened in recent weeks is they hold these
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: really good backs under four yards to carry, like James
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Connor is still really good back three point nine yards.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I think Jonathan Taylor was at three point nine yards.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Like they've been doing a pretty decent job at that.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But the issue is it's a true three point nine
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: yards per carry, like the kind where yeah, sure I'll
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: take even if it's not exactly four, I'll take even
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: three because if I run it, and you know, I say,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: maybe I want to go for it on fourth down,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I'm still okay, and that has allowed teams to just
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: basically keep the playbook open, especially since Patriots aren't blown
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: anybody out, so all of these games are tight and
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: allows offenses to still continue to rely on the ground
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: game as the contest goes on. And with this Bill's offense,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: if you had the best rushing attack in the league
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: by when I was looking since at least week ten,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: So this is not the kind of week where you
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: can just say, oh, yeah, no, it's fine if we
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: just keep getting the body blows, because if you do
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that and then Josh Allen has the ability to just
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: drop back on play action and keep it downfield, you're
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: gonna be in a world of trouble because one of
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: the Patriots coverage weaknesses that's the most glaring is them
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: not being able to cover those intermediate or downfield in
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: breakers off play action because their linebackers just don't get
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: enough depth, their safeties don't get enough depth, and especially
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: if you have to respect the run, you can't just
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: immediately bail.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: So I think if.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: You just let James Cook and Ray Davis just run
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the ball at will and you don't show any resistance,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: then I think the Patriots are going to be in
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: for a really long day because I don't think you
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: have really any chance of stolping Josh Allen because they're
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be in ideal third down situations where he can
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: make the smart decision versus third and seven plus where.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Now the defense is dictating.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And maybe you could scheme up some kind of pressure,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: because I think that's the only way they're going to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: slow down the Bills offense.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Man. We you know, I was on your show before
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: in my life here and we talked about it a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: little bit. So much of this for as much of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the conversation about Josh Allen and the MVP stuff and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: everything he's done, and you know, he's legitimately having a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: tremendous year, But the straw that stirs the drink, or
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: at least like puts the drink in the glass is
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the run game for the Bills, Like so much stems
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: from it and what they're able to get to. Like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: last year, they were you know, hitting duo early early
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: on to start start the year, and then they would
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: sprinkle in you know, dart and some concepts like that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Then as the season went on, you know, dart and tackle,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: long trap, all the pull stuff that became kind of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the thing, and then this year it's just been like
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: week side mid zone, like weekside mid zone, week side
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: mid zone, over and over and over.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: And then that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Pairs well with duo because they'll run it out of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: like the same formation. They'll run it with like a
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: seven man surface and they'll run week side midzone to
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the week side, or they can line up in that
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: exact same alignment in formation and personnel, but just run
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: duo to the tight end side.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: But they raly spa what it's worth, They do the
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: same thing.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you see that with a lot of teams too,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: like the Rams do it a bunch Like you get
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of the teams who are kind of leaning
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: into that type of philosophy and sequencing and pairing with
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the running game, at least especially nowadays with how defenses
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: are playing and trying to attack. But it was really
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: again that week's side mid zone run. And then as
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: we've gone along the season, Brady started like spamming the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: presentation of it and then tying that into play action
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: starting with the Seattle game, and then this past week
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: against Detroit they busted out everything, which you know is
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: one of the points I'm going to talk to, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm just kind of that that ties.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Really into my you know, my first point of just can.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: The Bills offense stay on this heater that they are
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: on really the last like for really month or so,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: but really the last three games seventeen touchdowns, no turnovers,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: no sacks, thirty five points against the Chiefs, forty two
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: against the Rams, and a losing effort forty eight against
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the Lions. But that Lions game, the run game diversity
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that you got the way Brady called design and sequenced
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: that run game. They ran dart, they were running you know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: tackle long trap. You have multiple forms of counter out
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of multiple personnel groupings and alignments. I'm talking like true
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: like GT counter, which they do not do like GTGF
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: counter like that is not staples.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: They are not like a counter empower type of team.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's mid zone week duo tackle pull stuff, that's it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: So they got multiple forms of counter.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: They're running the mid zone stuff, they're pulling out like
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: wing elements like Detroit did the week before against the Packers.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: That touch that touchdown to Khalil Shakir, you've got the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: spinner action from Josh Allen and then Shakira is hipped
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: off from the wing.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: You've got uh.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: You know, QB sweep, QB bash GT counter dart with
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a QB read attached to it. You've got tackle long
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: trap bash with the read from the QB attached to it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: These are all things that like I just noted as
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the game went along because I was writing them down,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and then like obviously in the film study and in prepping
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: for the and the way Brady Brady didn't just call
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: these things to call them like he wasn't like, no,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I want to call like seventy five different runs this game.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm going to do. The way he
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: wove them together with play action motion misdirection, adding doubt
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to the defense and being able to again just sequence
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: everything and make it all mesh with one another. And
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: that's not even talking about some of the past game
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: stuff and like the four strong slash, like four by
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: one looks they were getting too and lining up receivers
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: in the backfield and sending them out on tear motion
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: or flipping the running back at the last moment and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: running you know, same side dart and all that kind
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of stuff. They've just been on this schematic heater on
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: top of Josh Allen being on an individual heater, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: it really tapping into just.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Like pure mutant alien unicorn stuff.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You called them a super Saiyan on your show when
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: we just talked like he's been just like Gohan against
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: like perfect cell, like he just ascended and everybody's like, oh,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: what is this that we're kind of seeing, and just yeah,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: they've just looked like an absolute unit, like Alan is
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: pulling out these high variants plays without any of the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: kind of riskiness attached to it. There's no Yin and Yang,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: like it's just Yang, it's just the light side.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: He's not. He hasn't come down to earth. The scheme
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: hasn't come down to Earth.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: The run game from the running back side like will
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: falter a bit, But then Alan has been on such
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a heater that even when it does falter, it hasn't mattered.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: It's just been crazy to see like what they've done
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: offensively and how they seem to have right answers or
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: counters no matter what organically or kind of from like
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: a manufactured standpoint.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: It's nuts.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: That's why, if I may my second point, because it
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: just perfectly. Is they have to contain Josh Allen as
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a runer. Now, obviously, if he's gonna sit back in
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the pocket like you always have to marry Russian coverage.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: That's the only way you can affect the best quarterbacks,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: because if you know they have a ton of time
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: to throw, then you're hurting the coverage. Somebody gets up
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: in or if you have a great cover, or if
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: you get to him quickly but you don't have great coverage,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: maybe he gets it out just in the nick of
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: time and something big happens. And when I was looking
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: up his scramble numbers, I knew it was crazy. He
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: has twelve big time scramble throws, which is twice as
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: many as the next closest players. He's the only player
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: with double digit big time scramble throws like and then
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: obviously you go back and you look at the Detroit
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: game where we talked about it on my show, the
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: like fifty plus garter that got to the receiver faster
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: than any throw that far or further has gotten to
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: a receiver in the next gen stats aras that going
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: back all the way to twenty sixteen, he's been a
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: freak he's gonna make his plays. We know that he's
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: gonna get outside the pocket at times he got to
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: mitigate the damage. But the pass rush he cannot have
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: times where like Keon White's going with a spin move
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: even though there's no one to really account for the quarterback,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: he can't have those soft edges and just give him
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: these huge lanes to exploit as a runner or as
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a thrower. Obviously, he's at the point in his career
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: now where you know he's trying to get out of
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: the pocket so he can throw. He'll run at the
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: ass too, but he's trying to throw. And then also
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: as a runner on design carries. The Patriots have never
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: really done a great job stopping Josh Allen as a runner.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Like I feel like that QB sweep when they're in
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: man coverage just works at least one or two times
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: a year. And the quarterback run game with Anthony richards
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: And it didn't kill them. It was like fewer than
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: fifty yards, but every time Richardson needed a big conversion
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: he got it and when he needed to punch it
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: in the end zone he was able to. Now, there
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: are a ton of ways that Josh Allen can kill you.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: The Design Run game with him is kind of just
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: the really unfair cherry on top. It's like basically the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Philly Sneak almost for me, where it's just like, oh, yeah,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: you already have this complete cheat code of you know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: for the Eagles it's an offensive line, let's also just
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: give a play that nobody can stop. And then with
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen, when you have to think about the Design
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: run game while you're also thinking about James Cook and
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: then just what he can do as a pass here, it's.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: A lot to deal with.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: But if the Patriots don't once again, it will be
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: a very very long day and potentially another blowout on
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: drod Mail's rookie resume.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: He cannot afford another one.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that, Yeah, it's just I'm trying
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: not to just be like yeah, it like doesn't look
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: good because I just the paranoid that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Exists in.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: So.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I looked up per sis of there are how many
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: players all all positions included. There are seventy five players
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that have at least fifty carries on the year.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: Now pay epa per attempt.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Generally and genuinely, I guess favors quarterbacks because scrambles usually
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: skew the numbers. It's usually for conversions first downs, you know,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: added yards in that SITH significant for EPA, which is
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: expected points added. But Allen on the year as we
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: stand right now, is first out of all seventy five
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: players in e PA per attempt at zero point four
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to nine e PA per attempt. Pat Mahomes is second
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: at point three six, so that is a significant gap
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: between he and Mahomes. And then even further Brock Purtyu
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is third and he's at point twenty nine, so there's.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: A point twenty.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Difference between Alan at one and Purty at three. Even
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is fourth at zero point twenty seven, like
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: it's just the level at which he's operated. And then
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: he also has a uh A success rate of sixty
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: two point six, which is second highest.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: Honestly lower than I would have expected.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Fair Hurdia is first at sixty four point four. Jayden
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Daniels is third at fifty seven point one, so there's
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a good gap between Allen and Daniels as well.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Just like what he's done on the ground, the.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Design stuff obviously, the QB sneaks and the stuff inside
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the five where he's scoring. It impacts the EPA numbers,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: but the success rate stuff is there too. It's not
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: just you know, the points that are skewing it. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: how he's tied that run ability, especially from a scrambling standpoint,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: but now tying it into like these high variants explosives
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: with his arm and again you and I feel like
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: he keep saying this. You and I talked about it
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: on your show. That's where this Bill's offense lived for
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: a while in the past. Game like the instructure pass
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: stuff was not working great, especially from like a chunk
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: play perspective. If they were generating a chunk play, it
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: was pretty much Alan like scrambling. It was you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the play to Kalio Secury against the Baltimore Ravens. It
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: was him making these ridiculous plays with his legs at
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: first and then with his arm and having that come together.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: What he's become is such a force in and of itself.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: But then when you factor it on top of like
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the run game, meaning like he doesn't have to do
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that all the time, so when he does have to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: do it, it's almost like you're kind of just keeping
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the horse in the stable and he just gets to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: sit and chill, and then you're finally like or like
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: even like a starting pitcher, like you're throwing your bullpen sessions.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Then once every fifth day they're like, Okay, I need
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you to go out there and throw seven innings right now,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and like do your thing. But in between you can
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: kind of just coast. That's what he's getting and I
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: think that's part the reason you're seeing so much success
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: for him in so much efficiency because the run game
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: helps him. He's playing within himself so and then when
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: he does have to go for those high variants plays,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: he's hitting him because he's not taxed so much physically
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: or mentally, and so much isn't asked of him. But yeah,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the numbers like what he's hitting on. Obviously the tape
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: speaks for the tape, but the numbers are just like
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: so many ways like passing, no matter who you use
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and who choose charts for EPA, he just crushes it
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: in so much. And I wonder how the Pats try
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and hem him in and from an athleticism standpoint, like
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: how do you eye him who's trying to match up?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Like if someone's trying to chase him down, who is
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: it like I don't know, I feel like you have
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to make Christian Gonzales like spy Josh Allen, and even that,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, Alan outweighs him by I don't know, sixty
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: pounds maybe, Like there's just like, no, it's just fun
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: to play these games of like.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Who would you match up one on one? It's like
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: they don't have one.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, I don't think anybody really has a
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: great answer in terms of a spy for Josh Allen
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: because it's not like, obviously Lamar is so different as
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: a runner, but he's elusive. So it's like, if you
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: can get somebody who's a very good tackler in space
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: and fast, you have a.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: Better chance than not to tackle him. Although it's not
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: a very good chance period, But with.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Josh, he can run around you or through you, and
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot of guys in the NFL like
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: that where truly it's kind of intimidating the thought of
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: having to tackle him. I think it's probably gonna be
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Brendan school or the Patriots have what's called the Longhorn
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: package because Schooler went to Texas. He's mostly been a
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: special teamer for them, but now they've been using him
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: as more of a spy. He's been good in that role.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Christian ellis a really athletic linebacker. He's playing more than
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: he should have to. But last week he had a
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: really impressive tackle and spased on Kyler Murray. So I
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: figured it's probably gonna be those two guys. But the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen career arcic. Really he's kind of similar to
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. It feels like where now they built around
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: him so he doesn't have to be Superman all the time.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: You'd like to be able to lean on your ground
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: game and not ask him to constantly do all these
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: crazy things, because yeah, they can do it. But if
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: you ask any quarterback to play outside of structure that consistently,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: it's a.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Tough place to live.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: And with Mahomes, it was the whole Andy Reid like, hey,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: first two and a half seconds, my play buddy. After that,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: do what you want, and Mahomes learning, Okay, I you
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: know I need to play with instructure, but when I
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: need to put the capon, I'll put the capon. And
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I could be that guy with Josh Allen, obviously, the
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: discipline was the thing that was really holding him back.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: But now you're finally seeing, Oh, he's taking all the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: easy stuff, and then when he has to do crazy
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen stuff, he can also do crazy Josh Allen stuff.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: He just doesn't have to do it to survive. He
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: does it, and it allows the Bills to thrive.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing where the Bill's offense got
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: into so much trouble, even like, you know, I think
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: people saw Brian Dables Bill's offense through like rose colored
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: glasses once he left, because there was some when he
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: was here, there were so many people who were just
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: yelling at Dable.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: All the time for like the Bills offense.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: And then I think, I, you know, so I think
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: he got you know, I think people were too positive
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: about him on his way out and too harsh while
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: he was here. Dorsey, I think just got too much
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: hate overall. But both Dorsey's offense and gables offense. You know,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: my joke for a lot with Eric in the film
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: room was just like if you open up the Bills playbook,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it was just a picture of Josh Allen like doing
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: different things, Like there weren't plays. It was just a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: picture of Allen doing different like athletic or like cool things.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Now there is more structure and semblance to the offense.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: And you know, whether it, you know, ironically ties into
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the Mahomes trajectory or not, it's so hard to like,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it's so hard to ignore that given like how the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Chiefs went from being like this big explosive play team, like,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: now we're gonna trade Tyreek Hill and just throw for
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a low average depth of target. We're gonna use twelve
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and thirteen personnel, We're gonna run the football. And then
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: then the Bills are like, you.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Know what we're not.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go a lower average depth of target, We're
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: going to use more tight ends, and you know.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: We're gonna run the football. And then the rest of
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: the NFL was like, yeah, we think we're gonna do
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: that too.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: And then the Ravens are like, we've been doing that
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: for years with like pat Riccard and wild stuff, and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: nobody pays attention to us or gives us credit, but yeah,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: it's just an The way I think my biggest thing
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: with Joe Brady is the way the Bills offense moved.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: And this is gonna sound like I'm not giving credit,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: but the way the Bills offense moved this year. It's
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: just the way football is trending, and it's just like
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: embracing that trend and going with it, like heavier personnel,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: getting into more condensed formations, motion leverage, speed of motion,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: rate of motion, different kinds, having a run game, the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: versatility and run game diversity with it and play action
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and marrying all of it and just yeah, watching a
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: click has been really, really very impressive.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: So you've given your first two points? Correct am I
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: correct in that? I never know.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I never order them because I'm like they're all equal.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: And then I did I say this every time I
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: do a show, I'm always like I'm gonna do all right,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this next one. So the Bills defense
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: got hou is from a point's perspective against the Lions.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I put this out on Twitter earlier today. I did
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the whole I don't know where it's from initially, but
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the like the picture of like the guy standing up
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: and it's always like you caption it with something like
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you're standing up for and mine was like, I actually
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: liked a lot of what the Bills did schematically and
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: with several individuals against the Lions, even though they got
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: forty two points hung on them. It was fourteen points
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: through pretty much the end of the third quarter and
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: then just a wild explosion in the fourth.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: In a lot of ways, but what.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: You saw from the Bills defense a lot of fun
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: like they're doing, you know, and I'll get into some
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: of the schematic stuff in a bit, But what you
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: saw still at the end of the day against the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Lions and against the Rams, from a points standpoint, not great.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: And then if you look at it from an advanced
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: metrics standpoint, the last two weeks, the Bills defense their
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: last in EPA per dropback, They're twenty ninth in dropback
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: success rate, They're thirty first in overall EPA per play.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: And again I think they did better against Detroit than
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: they get credit for. They really emphasize shutting down the run,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: like from the get go, seven eight, nine guys in
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the box, they're run blitz in, they're attacking, they are
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: coming forward there. Everything was about, you know, putting the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Lions on the back foot a little bit, even something
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that they never do.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Early on.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Lions go condensed, Kyri Elam and Christian Benford are both
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: in press alignment on the number one receiver on each
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: side and they run a double corner blitz. The running
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: back picks up Kyrie Benford comes free and it's a sack.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: They do not run double corner blitz like ever. They
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: don't blitz a ton in general. But they were just
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: playing on the forefront four foot I think I don't
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: know how much of it was Detroit specific versus Detroit,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: and the RAMS operates similarly offensively, and they were like,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: we got legitimately killed against the Rams. That's not gonna
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: happen again. We're flipping the script and attacking. They were,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: so they shut down the run. They blitzed. They utilized
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: multiple fronts like they're using that. They use the type
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: front on multiple occasions, which you do not see. Everything
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: is pretty much four down, four to three over. You
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: kind of know what you're gonna get. They're utilizing multiple fronts.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: They're covering the center up on a lot of stuff
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: to create five zero man on man protection, and then
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: they're blitzing and dropping guys like two things that I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: thought were really cool. They they used the tight front.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, you know you have
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: a four eye so basically you have a GUYE line
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: up on the inside shoulder the offensive tackle. That's the
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: that's the you know, the four eye. You've got a
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: guideline head up on the center, that's your zero tech.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: And then you have another guy line up on the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: inside shoulder of the offensive tackle, so a four eye
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: zero four ie. They do it once where it's all
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: defensive linemen typical. Right, the next time they do it,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you have a defensive lineman as a four eye. You
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: have Ed Oliver as your zero Terrell Bernard is lined
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: up as the other four eye. Just so creative pieces
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: what they're doing, what they're leaning into like I did,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: like what they did against the Lions.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: They utilize multiple fronts, They attack protections.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: They were running stunts, twists, games up front, you know,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: games between they usually if they run stunts, it's just
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: like typical tackle tackle end stunt or end tackle, so
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: your typical stuff. They were running twists between the zero
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: tech and the linebacker behind him. They're running twist between
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: both defensive tackles. They were getting after it, but obviously
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: gave up the forty two points. Legitimately got housed by
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the Rams. The Rams had their way with them on
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the ground early and then that led to a lot.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: Of single high coverage and the Rams eight in the past.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: But I say all that to say this, the Patriots
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: offense has had some struggles this year, but last year again,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just my paranoia. That first game against New
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: England in New England horrible. I remember sitting here with
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: you and having this conversation and we were just going
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: over all these metrics, like whether it was mac Jones,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: whether it was the Pats offense as a whole. Everything
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: was like, the Patriots offense is terrible, The Patriots offense
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: is terrible. They go to New England, the Pats hang
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: twenty nine on them, including the game winning touchdown drive
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: after the Bills take the lead, and mac Jones just
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: moves him down the field as if he's frigging Brady.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: They gave up twenty nine to an abysmal Pats offense
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and made it look like mac.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: Jones was the Prince that was promised.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Drake May full time starter since Week six, nineteenth over
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: on EPA per play fifteenth and success rate tenth in
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: completion percentage over expected. His numbers and his play on
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: tape are significantly better this year than what mac Jones
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: was last year. When the Pats beat the Bills, But
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: does Drake may look like.
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: The prince that was promised? Like can the run game
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: get going a little bit? Like?
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: How much of these Bills defensive vulnerabilities that we've seen
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: are game script specific, matchup specific, team specific or is
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: there something that's been found out a little bit? And
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: do we continue to see the interior get displaced against
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the run? Do we see teams get downhill and gouge
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: them in the spine? Do we see teams go condensed
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: and be able to attack them outside the numbers with regularity?
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: How much does game script matter and getting teams away
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: from the run and taking that aspect away. So that's
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: my big number two. Like these Bills defensive I guess
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I'll put them in quotes vulnerabilities. How much of them
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: are here to stay or how much of them were
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: matchup or opponents specific the last two weeks? Given that
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: how the Lions and Rams operate schematically naturally gives the
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Bills problems because of their motion and the way they
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: attack with leverage, and then they also have really good
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: offensive minds and really good players on top of it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that kind of leads into my third point, to
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: be honest.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: So for me, the Patriots do have to stay on schedule,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: and that's like, yeah, nope, duh, that's kind of how
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: you win in the NFL.
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: But there are some.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: Teams that score more points than your opponent.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know, just simple things like that. They're
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: kind of important football games. But for the Patriots, they've
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: actually done a pretty good job because if you look
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: at going back to Week ten, all the efficiency numbers
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: in like the EP pay per play really not explosiveness,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: but if you look at consistency, they've been one of
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: the best offenses in the NFL.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: They have the ability to move the ball.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of that is because the run game's starting
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: to get going where Antonio Gibson, if you look he
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: doesn't get a ton of opportunities, but if you look
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: at like a per play basis, he's been one of
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: the most efficient backs in the NFL over the past
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: month and a half. Romandrie Stevenson's not making people miss
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: quite as much, but it does seem like he's getting
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: some positive momentum going basically just run behind Mike and
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: went Who and whoever's around Mike and Wan Who, and
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: it's usually a pretty good strategy. They've been able to
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: do that in the past few weeks. That's really helped them.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Drake May, like we talked about earlier, the Patriots receiving
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: corp doesn't really scare you, but they've got guys like
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, to a degree, Kendrick Bourne, where
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: there are at least pros. Now, Kendrick Born makes a
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: lot of mistakes, so sometimes when I use that pro moniker,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's not totally true. But you also
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: do see that he just has more experience than the
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: other guys when like plays breakdown or what have you,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: it just seems like he and Drake May are a
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: little more on the same page. So the receivers don't
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: really scare you, but Drake May can maximize the guys
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: around him, which was obviously what you hope from him.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Coming out of the draft, because he's gonna put it
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: on the money.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: You just got to actually make the catch, which Patriots
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: receivers haven't always been doing. It's led to his last
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: two interceptions both went off his receiver's hands. But so
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: I say all that to say the running game has
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: been pretty good. It's been there for you, it's inconsistent.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: There are times where it just falters. That literally the
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: worst times, like you know, at the four yard line
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: on third and one and then fourth and one, or
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: you know against the against the Colts when you really
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: need a conversion in scoring territory and you don't get it.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Like those times, the run game falters, and that's really unfortunate.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: But they've mostly been good, but the offensive line continuously
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: puts this team in bad positions, whether it's penalties, whether
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: it's completely blown assignments, whatever, it's low snaps. Last week,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Ben Brown, their backup center, put it on the turf
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: two times. It went down as fumbles on the stat sheet.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Like every time they're gaining momentum and doing something good,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: some ridiculous usually mental error happens and then they end
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: up getting behind the eight ball and they're not good
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: enough to live in that kind of world. Drake may
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: can get them out of it every once in a while,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: but they just can't do it on a consistent basis.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: So the big thing here is, like.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: You can move the ball finishing drives, that's gonna be
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: another area.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: Where they need to have a strong emphasis. But they
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: punch it in two or three times last week.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Fully you can continue to build on that, but stop
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: shooting yourselves in the foot with these penalties if you're
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: the Patriots, because if you do that, you are going
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: to put yourself in an impossible position against Obviously, you
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: know the Bill's defense is struggling to a degree, but
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: as you mentioned, they're doing a whole lot of stuff
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: that's really interesting schematically, So they're not the same defense
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: you've seen. And obviously Josh Allen, James Cook and that
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Bill's offense are what they are. So just don't hurt
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: yourself offensively, and I do think they can maybe keep
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: this competitive.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: It's funny how our points keep weaving into one another seamlessly.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: That ties imperfectly to my third point. Real quick, I
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to pull some stuff on the Patriots O line.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: It's not great per sorry, per it's not that's fine
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: per PFF. They have the lowest pass blocking efficiency score
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: on the year. For reference, the Broncos are first at
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: ninety one point eight. The Patriots are last at seventy
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: eight point five.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: So that is that's significant drop right there.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Power success from FTN Fantasy, which something that I really like.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: It is the percentage of runs Basically on third or
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: fourth down, two yards are less to go that get
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you either a first down or a touchdown. It also
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: includes first and goal or second and goal from the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: two yard line or closer. When you look at power
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: success rate, the Patriots are twenty seventh.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: In that regard.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: And then another one that I like to is stuff percentage,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: which is just percentage of runs where the running backs
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: tackled at or behind the line of scrimmage.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: Higher like the higher percentage, the worst. That is.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: The Patriots are eighteenth in the league in that regard.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: So they're not too crazy or too bad with that,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: but you look at a lot of the metrics and
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: where they stand from an offensive line perspective, you want
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: to put it together. Even without the tape, it's not great.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: And then they also have the second highest quarterback pressure
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: rate on the year at forty point eight. Yeah I
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: on the offensive side. Yeah, they're only behind the Titans
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: at forty point nine. Sorry, I'm I'm not I'm I'm
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: not trying to be mean. I just wanted to know
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: these women homes.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: It's mandatory that we have at least one section where
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: you haze me with bad people.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no, Okay.
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: It's okay. They're bad.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: It's not your fault. It's not my fault. They're the
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: ones putting up the stats.
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: You got to inform your listeners. I just got to
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: sit here and be a good sport. I'm crazy.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing it to be mean. It's just part
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: of the conversation, just part of the conversation. I'm also
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: very wary because this is very similar to.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: How the conversation went last year for their first game,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Like we we you and I both talked about just
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: how bad the offense is on tape and schematically, and
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: then yeah, they come out and hang twenty nine. So
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I just I want to keep putting it out there
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: before we see the Bills get like no pressures and
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Drake maygo for like four hundred yards and four touchdowns
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and everybody's.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: Like, you said their line sucked, you said they would
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: be able to do anything. Yeah, like just what crazy
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: things can happen?
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: But they all right.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: The piece that you said ties really in our ties
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: really well into my third point long title here Ford
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: for me, how much schematic variety do we see from
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: the Bills on either side of the ball slash. Do
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: they need to use schematic variety to beat the New
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: England Patriots? Again, I touched down in a little bit
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: offensively and defensively, but we really saw the Bills against
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Detroit get into a lot of looks defensively and offensively
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: that they traditionally do not do.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: They are very much even for the offense.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: For as successful as it's been, they really just spam
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: several run concepts. Depending on the matchup, that'll spam several
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: you know, pass concepts. They might you know, tweak the presentation. Okay,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do it out of you know type, We're
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: gonna do it out of spread and motion A guy
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: in and then we'll run smash and we'll switch who's
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: the corner in, who's the china, and who's the underneath
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: like that kind of stuff, like little tweaks here and there,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: so you can't just completely key in. But it's not
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: a ton of like you pretty much know what you're
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: gonna get on both sides of the ball. And again
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: just I don't know, I'm gonna say this game because
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I do think it's important. I don't know how much
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: schematic variety we saw against the lions, Like would that
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: have happened all?
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Was that the plan already or did they bust out
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: more of that because of how bad the RAMS game went, Like,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I want to know how much of the schematic variety
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: we saw on both sides was like, Hey, we cannot
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: lose this game.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: We need to win this one.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Let's pull out some of the stops and or we're pissed,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: let's come out and boat try and boat race these
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: dudes at home, like we're going out swinging, or again,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: was it just like no, this was this was gonna
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: be the game plan regardless, And you know, here's what
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: it was, because again, they just got into so many
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: looks offensively and defensively, the tight front stuff like the
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: five zero protection and man protection stuff they were creating,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the blitz looks, all the heavy boxes that they were
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: going with, and then offensively, just the way they were
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: going to counter and the way they got into dart
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and the presentation with the motion and the personnel and alignment.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: All of that really was it was fun and it
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: was good to see, but a lot of it was
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: stuff that they very rarely or never press the button for.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: And so I wonder how much we see that in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: this game, and I wonder how much they need to, Like,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: is this a game where it's tied in the third
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: quarter and they're like, you know what, we have to
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: keep pace with the Chiefs. We want that one seed.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Let's bust out some stuff a little bit. Or is
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: this game decided as the second half starts and they're like,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna run duo and then just play you know,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: quarters and cover three and that's it and go home
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: and stay home and that's it. Like how much do
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: they need to use it? How much do they use it?
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: How much does the matchup dictate it? Because yeah, I'm
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: still very like that's my biggest takeaway from that Bills
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: and Lions game, just how much variety we saw on
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: both sides of the ball that we traditionally do not see,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Like things that it was like, oh like they might
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: do this here and there that they did a bunch more,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: or things that they never do that they did. They
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: really feel like they were kind of like empty in
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: the clip a little bit and worked out especially offensively
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: and a little bit more on defensively than I think
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: it's getting credit for it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: I think defensively it would be a good idea to
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: have some variety and show some different things because I
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: think Drake May it's the kind of quarterback even already
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: where you need to spend the dial on him because
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: if he knows what's coming pre snap, he's locked in
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: and he does a pretty good job exploiting things offensively.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: For the Bills, I think, do you need to get
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: fancy and you know a lot of window dressing and
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: all that, I don't think you do. I just don't
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: think this is a talented enough defense where realistically they're
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to stop the Bills from doing whatever
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: they want to do on a pretty conticipate basis outside
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: of maybe throwing whoever Christian Zalez is covering. That's gonna
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: be the one thing that they are gonna do very
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: well as they're gonna take that person away. But I
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: don't think you need a lot of again, you know,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: fanciness on offense. Now that's said, if you do, when
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: incorporate like some emotions and things where just looks a
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: little bit different, kind of throws you off your keys.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: I think that's where you can make the Patriots defensive
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: really bad because the games where they have been flustered
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: were the Rams and then the Dolphins, like all that
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: motion and all the different things that those guys do
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: to disguise their looks and kind of just create confusion.
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: It worked. It worked to a t.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: So again, I think the Bills will be fine if
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: they just kind of do what they do. But if
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: they say, hey, no, like we want to make sure
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: that we make a statement in this win, like we're
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: not taking any chances because we do want to get
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: our seating and we want to make sure that Josh
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Allen doesn't have to play the next time with Patriots
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: and the Bills face off, then yeah, you can incorporate
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: some things to maybe really capitalize on the fact there's
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: not a lot of experience on the Patriots defense and
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the guys who are experienced are banged up, so it's
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: like one false step ends up turning into explosive play.
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: It feels like every single week.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very fair. I was surprised this game got flexed.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: It made me think like the NFL knows something that
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: we don't, or the scriptwriters were like, no, this is
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: going to be a banger. We're putting in a four
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: twenty five, Like there's something going on like, I think.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: It's so I knew. I think I think we talked
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: about this when the schedule came out. It seemed like
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: the last month was them banking on Drake May's starting
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: because you had Marvin Harrison Junior and Drake May the
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: you know, the top picks, and now it's the two
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks that Drake May was compared to in the entire
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: draft process, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert.
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: Both of those games got flex. I don't think that's coincidence.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I think the league just wants to people to be
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: able to see Drake May and Josh Allen. I just pray,
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: pray that the defense doesn't embarrass them and just make
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: it so that you can't even enjoy Drake May. Like
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: last week where Drake May does some really cool stuff,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: has an awesome a couple of awesome scoring drives at
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: the end of the game, but we barely talked about
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: it because the defense was absolutely hute.
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: True, So we'll see.
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: It's fair, very fair. One question here from the chat.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: You know we talked earlier about high level stuff. Yeah,
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: the chests chants fantastic.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Charles wants to know what the vibes are on. Uh,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you know, coach Mayo first year, no more Bill Belichick.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: Obviously big big, big, big, big, big change in the guard.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: We talked, I can't remember things are bleeding into one another.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I can't remember if you said it on this or
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: on your show before we did this show. You know,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Mayo just saying some foolish things in the media a
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: little bit, which is big time opposite of Bill Belichick,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: who is very much just like We're going to play
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: the game and try and sco more points and the
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: other team.
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts here on mister Mayo, as mister
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Mayo makes me laugh to this sounds like mister Mayor,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: and that's not from anything.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: It just makes me laugh. What are your thoughts on him?
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Early returns on him in this first year as Patriots head.
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: Coach not good. I observed to make a fan base
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: among reporters.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I know we're frustrated because like I'm newer to the beat,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: this is my second season.
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: But the older heads who've been here for you.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Know, the dynasty, and they've seen the excellence, They've been
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: upset because the standard has fallen off so dramatically.
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Belichick's obviously a big part of that, like Belichick needed
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: to be replaced.
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: There getting really bad.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: But even still, the whole cultural change that Jod Mayo
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: was supposed to bring was it's a little bit less
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: hard ass, which was the new organization's words. Lookally elliot
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Well said they were gonna let be as hard asked
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: as they were before. And you know Kip player's ownership,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: da da da dah. Well, sometimes you've got players saying
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: things that they wouldn't usually say. It doesn't have been
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: a ton, but especially among the wide receivers, we've gotten
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: some comments where Belichick I think would have knitted in
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: the bud pretty quickly. Grod Mao used to work in media.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: He's a really gregarious guy. He wants to be respectful
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: of us and he wants to have a good relationship
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: with us. But his attempt to be transparent and be
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: himself has turned into every week, multiple times we're having
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: to deal with some quote that he said where he
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: phrased it poorly or said something because he was upset.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Like I asked him a question a couple of weeks
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: ago and he brought up the Super Bowl win against Seattle, which, like, dude,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: you weren't the coach, you have.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: No right to bring that up.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: And he had to apologize for it the next day,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: and he had to apologize for something this week, and
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: now Mondays are just becoming a joke where, oh, it's
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Mayo walk back Monday, you know, because he keeps saying
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: the wrong things that hey, if he was winning, no
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: one would care.
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: It's like Nick Sirianni. He gets to fly under the radar.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Because the Eagles are winning, right, and no one really
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: kind of digs into the fact that he's a weird guy,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: and it feels like everyone else is doing things right
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: around him and he's basically just trying not to get
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: in the way.
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: And then when the Eagles.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Start losing, he's at the forefront and you see all
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: the stuff he does and everyone's like, oh my god,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: this guy, like they need an adults in the room
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: because he's just so immature. That's what's happening with Mayo.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: If he was winning, I don't think people would care.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: When he was winning, all of his personality, all of
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: those things. After the opener, people are like, oh my god,
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: he's getting the players to play hard, da da dada.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: But when you're losing, people look at everything and everything
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: is gonna get picked apart and even worse, He's like
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: supposed to be this CEO type head coach. But he
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: made his bones as a defensive player. He was a
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: middle linebacker in Bill Belichick's defense for years. They called
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: him Baby Belichick. He then was the the facto defensive coordinator,
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: but now he's removed himself from the defensive side of
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 56:57
  Speaker 6: For DeMarcus Covington, who I was.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Excited in the system for a long time, players are like, hey,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: he knows the defense front to back. I'm thinking, hey,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: maybe he'll bring a new spin on things.
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: The defense has been terrible for the most part. They've
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: been really really bad, and injury in talent is a
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: huge part of that. He did not inherit the defense
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: that Bill Belichick was coaching last season, Yes, but there
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: have been far more fundamental layers. Players don't seem like
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: they're very well prepared or as aware as they used
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: to be, which in experienced all that is one thing,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: But it felt like under Belichick, and obviously it's an
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: unfair comparison, but because that is the natural comparison, players
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: really rarely looked like they didn't know what was coming.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: It felt like they were always a step ahead and
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: now they're not. And obviously that reflects on coaching, and
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Mayo continues to be the CEO head coach and is
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: not involved on defense, but in his CEO role, I
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: don't know what he's doing that brings you know, that's yeah,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: he's not There's no innovation, there's no exceptional level of resilience.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: They've shown resilience at times. It was why he gave
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Mayo some benefit of the doubt. Rookie head coach, you
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: inherited a bad roster, It's gonna be tough. What I
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: saw against the Cardinals was the first time where I
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: was like, this is really bad, to the point where
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: people talking about him getting fired his first season. If
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: this keeps happening for the next two to three weeks,
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: I think that that's a realistic possibility because they just
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: they seem so unprepared coming off of bye week. They
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: lacked I think energy for a lot of it. And
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: then the way they finished the game too. They were
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: decent towards the middle, they were just allowing field goals, bending,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: not breaking. Then you allowed two touchdowns. One was tough
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: because it was coming off an interception, but like both
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: times James Conner walks into the end zone. And there's
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: been other games where they played poorly but then tightened
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: up at the end, and you're saying, Okay, just get
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: better players, and maybe this is this is a little different,
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: get healthy or whatever. But I keep bringing myself to
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: the question of what does Grodmeo bring to this football team.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: I can't answer you, and I can say what he's
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: been doing poorly. I can say what the team has
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: done poorly. I can't acknowledge that. Yeah, times they've gotten
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: better and they've shown progress after bad losses, but now
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: it's starting like things are snowballing, and it's getting to
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: the point where I know it's your first season, and
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: I know this is not an ideal situation. Yeah, but
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: I just you expected more from someone who spent so
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: much time under Will Belichick, who's being groomed by Bill
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Belichick not to take over. Bill didn't know about that part,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: but you know he was being put in position there,
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: so exactly, So what do you do here? Is basically
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: what I'm just consistently asking Rod Mayo when I've not
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: been getting many answers of late.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I really do think you're like you're
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: spot on, Like that's my outside perspective and you are
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: much much much more inside than I am. It just yeah,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: seems like okay, if you're not doing the schematic stuff,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: like I can understand one way or the other faltering
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: like Okay, well, you know he's not doing the CEO stuff,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: right because he's so in the weeds coaching this one
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: side of the ball or like you know, yeah, he's
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: not great with the x's and o's, but he's a
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: CEO type of coach.
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: That's not the type of guy he seems to be.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: Falter it both and the media stuff on top of it,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: like it just.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: It really, yes, genuinely, it's yeah, it's really just then,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if I thought more from I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: expected more from him or from the organization as a whole. Yeah,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just very surprised at how how much things have
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: kind of fallen off the rails with him with the defense. Again,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: I know the injuries are a significant part of that,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it's it is disconcerting to the point that like,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: and you said it, like I was already thinking the
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: share I was like, dang, like is is mayil like
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: a fire candidate, Like if things go bad these last
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: three weeks, like if he only pulls out like these
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: three wins and they get away?
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: Was going down the stretch?
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Or is it another like you know it's one year,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: you know, and do they roll with like you know
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you lost June On at the last minute and you
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: know bar More at the last minute.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: You know, we'll kind of build and see where you
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: go from there. You got the quarterback? Or is faith
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: completely lost? Like I think that is a really sneaky
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: kind of interesting one. They don't turn around a little bit,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: like if they just get housed down the stretch? Is
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: it one of those like is he on the hot seat?
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: Like do you think that's a possibility.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: It's got to be a possibility if he gets blown
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: out multiple times to end of the year. Now, it's
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: tough because you want stability around Drake May. But like
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Drake May is the future of this franchise. He is
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: shown and lived up to the investment you made in him. Now,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: on one hand, you don't want to keep changing everything
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: around a young quarterback. It's one of the worst things
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: you can do. But also you don't want to waste time,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: especially in his rookie contract. If Gerard Mayo is not
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: providing anything as a head coach, the one thing you
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: cannot do as a coach, especially as a rookie coach,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: is lose.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: The locker room.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: When that happens, that's when first year coaches get fired.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: When it seems like guys aren't acting like guys are.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: Kind of out of line.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: They're saying things they shouldn't be saying. It seems like
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: they're not motivated. Maybe they're not really defending him now
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: to be their players are still defending Mayo vehemently. That
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: is still a factor, and I think that's why he's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: not actually gonna get fired. I think they give him
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: one more season with the better roster and see what
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: he can do. But yeah, I if this gets worse,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: and obviously if he ends up losing the locker room
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: because things get worse, then yeah, you got a fire
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: and you got to move on because you need to
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: make sure you maximize Drake May's window and also just
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: get an adults in the room because that's been the
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: biggest thing. Is At least now behind closed doors, it
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: seems like Mayo is very different. It seems like his
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: approach works in terms of, you know, the buyback that
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: he gets, the buy in i'm sorry that he gets
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: from players. But on the outside, it just seems like
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: they need more experienced people, like they need someone who
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't keep putting his foot in his mouth or just
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: has a better understanding of how all this works. Because
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: it's just his He reeks him an experience, so you
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: understand that you knew what you were getting yourself into.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: If you're the Crafts, and you might, you're probably gonna
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: have to bite the bullet because it's very especially because
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: Alex van Pelt has done a great job developing Drake May.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: So you don't really want to kneecap the offensive coaching
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: staff makes some change just maybe, but you don't want
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: to just kick Van Pelth out the door because he
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: did a pretty good job offensive coordinator.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: He's fine. Scheme isn't anything new.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: I don't love some of the play action concepts, but
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: like for the most part, like I said, they're moving
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: the ball well enough. If they get an offensive line,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: I think he's fine. But the defense, it's really hard
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: to justify the defensive coordinator and then drawed mail whatever
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: he's doing, so again I'm ranting now because yam me
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: fired up, but yeah, he could absolutely get fired if
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: this continues to spiral.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: That the one that got me, and it was in
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: the preseason.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: It was that quote about like you if you get
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: in a fight, like if you're a starter, you're gonna
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: play the whole preseason.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 5: If you're not a starter, you won't play it all.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: And I remember like hearing that quote and I was
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: thinking like, okay, like that's not bad, but in my head,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, I feel like you have to have
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: some kind of credibility behind you to say something like that.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: And then like cause if you're just some guy saying
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and it kind of looks like corny, and then if
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: you're like team is bad, then it's one of those
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: things like if the Pats were fighting for a playoff
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: spot right now, I think you look back a quote
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: like that and it mid this probably isn't right because
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: it's super hindsight, But you look back at a quote
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: like that and you're like, you know what, this guy
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: set the tone right from the preseason and they've really
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: been able to move forward with it.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I think back to a quote like that and it's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: more just like this guy doesn't know what the hell
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: he's doing, and like you need an adult in the room,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: and like he says things that like you just shouldn't
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: say or he or the message is right, but the
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: way he delivers the message or the word selection isn't right.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 6: And it's like when he called the team soft.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember I heard it, and I was like,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: I get it because I know Belichick's tenants, or you
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: got to stop the run, run the ball, and covered case,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: that's a tough team.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: I understood what he meant, and I didn't really this
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: was before I really.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Even still I think a lot of what he says
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: gets over blown, but the phrasing of it was bad
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: because the next day he did have to say the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: team wasn't soft, they played soft, and that was how
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: I interpreted it. And also, like his credibility is that
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: he did play linebacker in Belichick's defense, he was a captain.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Like players understand that and they respect him for that.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: But it's things like that where maybe you don't even
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: say that to the media, maybe because he said it
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: to the team. And that was another thing where I'm like,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: all right, you said it to the team. It's not
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: like you're saying it behind their back and they don't
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: know it's the same message. But you could also argue
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: he shouldn't have said it period. That's not a message
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: for the media. And you phrase it like that and
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: it becomes a complete firestorm and like they're covering it nationally.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: As a rookie head coach, you should not be making
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: national headlines because of what you're saying in press conferences,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: Like that's one of the bare minimums and that is
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: one of the most egregious places where it's like, yeah,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: you're losing and you're exacerbating it and putting yourself in
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: the spotlight as the head coach.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he just.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Your point, Like I don't think he's ever said anything
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: super egregious where I'm just like, oh my god, but
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: he just he opens himself up for unneeded criticism, and
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: especially when you are having the year that you're having,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: just you can't waver in any way, shape or form,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Like you can't afford open yourself up at all because
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: you're not you know Nick Sirianni, and you know the
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: team is in crushing and look and look out to
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the Sirianni example, Like anytime the eagles, Falter, the vultures
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: come out.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: For Sirianni and they are no, they are just ready.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: And the only thing keeping everybody at bay. The only
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: thing that's keeping you know, the wolves at the door
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: is the fact that they win. And anytime they lose, yeah,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: they get that dub. And anytime they lose, the door
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: opens and like one or two wolves like pop in
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: and you just can't. You can't put yourself in that situation.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: You can't, Falter.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: It's better to say less than say more. And he
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like he's saying a lot and he's saying
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: it not great ways. Yeah, I'm just man, I'm really interested.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: One a quick question for you. This was actually in
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: my mind and then Joe asked it in the chat
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: and I thought it was fate. Joe wants to know
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: what direction you think the Pats will go in with
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: their first round pick. Is an offensive tackle or bust?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Do they take a flyer on?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: Travis?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Hunter is a two way guy? What are your thoughts here?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: I like, I, you know, just kind of shade it.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: In an ideal world, I think it would be offensive line.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't think there's an offensive lineman. It's gonna
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: be worth like the top three or top five pick.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: My ideal situation is they get one to one and
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: they find some way to trade down. I think getting
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: another first round pick is going to be huge because
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: again they lack talent. I think you need those premium
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: picks and you want to be a draft and developed
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: team one hopefully in free agency or not, you know,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: toxic and people actually want to come to New England.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 6: But really for them, I think the way to go
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: is the best player available with the pick.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: I think if that's Travis Hunter, that's a blue chip player,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: like yeah, no, I think, yeah, you play him at cornerback.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: You give him a package on offense, because he's not
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: even like Marcus Jones, when Marcus Jones is purely a
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: gadget player. He can run a hitch, he can run
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: a slant, he can run a go. You know, it's
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: even actually kind of use him. Obviously, it's going to
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: be tough because you're in different meetings and there's nuances
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: to wide receiver, Like it's not easy to just go
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: out and play receiver for like ten snaps or whatever.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: But I think Travis Hunter is a kind of talent
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: where it's really hard to pass up on him again.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they can trade down, but hard guys say no
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: to if it's Tech McMillan, a guy where the Patriots
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Drake may can make a lot of what he has,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: but you also like a short handed guy who's got size,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: can threaten vertically and is a red zone presence, and
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: you can move him around the field and kind of
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: funnel things through him and then have that movable piece
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: that really dictates what happened in the passing game. So
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: and even I mean Will Johnson, I don't love the idea,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: to be honest, Like Travis Hunter's kind of different, Like
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: he is so good that it's just hard to say
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: no because of the value brings on both sides. I
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: just don't think corner, even with best player available, I
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: don't think you ever go one hundred percent one way.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 6: We've talked about this.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's foolish to say just BPA or just
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: draft her position because you're gonna get yourself in trouble
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: doing too much of one or the other. But Abdul
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Carter like a pass rusher, that's a premium position. The
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: Patriots have no pass rush. I'd be open to that
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: just get a truly rare athlete who can turn into
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: a pro bowler, an all pro because if you can
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: go Christian Tales Drake and then this draft you hit
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: another hole, run like that's where you finally start getting
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: the bluetshit talent that you don't have. But yeah, I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: don't think it's o to your bust. I don't think
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: it's any position or bust. I think you look at
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: the the premium positions, especially where you have holes, and
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: you try to fill them with the best players.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: Of me, I really really really like Will Johnson, and
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I'm salivating at the idea of like Will Johnson and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Christian Gonzales or even with Hunter, like it, I feel
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: like he's I don't actually this is just me assuming
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: I could be completely wrong.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: I feel like Hunter would want to play receiver first
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: because receivers get paid more, and I feel like he'd
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: want to do that. I would want to put Hunter
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: as a full time corner and then I have him
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: be like receiver for and just have specific package plays
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: in for him, whether he's as a decoy or tendency
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: breaker or stuff for him. But that's fun too, Like
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: the idea of like Travis Hunter and Christian Gonzalez is
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: your corners, Like, man, that's super fun. I mean I'm
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: a defense first guy, so like that's super intriguing to me.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: Like I really don't think you can go wrong with
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of the there. But yeah, it doesn't feel
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: like there's I shouldn't say this because I haven't even
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: I haven't done my tape scouting yet. This is just
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: me watching a ton of broadcast college football, Like I
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody that's like a hard you
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: gotta take this dude, Like I feel like a trade
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: down option might be nice, but again, like I don't know.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: I Dual Carter looks pretty sick, and I like Hunter.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: Will Johnson is such a good technically sound corner and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: he's got the size like Hunter has to thicken out
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit to be an NFL corner like NFL
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: player in general, like his he is like I hate
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: this word gets you so much and I hate it,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: but he literally is a dog like with just how
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: he plays. But he can't play like that at the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: NFL at one hundred and seventy three one hundred and
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: seventy four pounds, Like he is far too physical to
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: sustain that he's gonna break its collar, phone or shoulder. Yeah,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: like that stuff's not gonna play with regularity. So does
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: he thicking out? How does that change like him as
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: a player? Oh yeah, that's a lot of fun, fun
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: conversations they have. Crazy that we're talking about draft stuff
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: for the Patriots in December.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 6: My, how the turn the cover routine these days?
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: I know, it's crazy. If only you had like six
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 5: Super Bowls to fall back on and dry your tears with.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I live in the present and the present sucks.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 6: That's fair.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 5: That's fair.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry. Yeah, it just full of drops to turn
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: around at Drake May.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: It's honestly, last year was way more bleak, and I
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: don't think it was even close when it was Mac
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: and you didn't know what the draft order was like,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: it could be so much worse.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 6: Drake May is better than I could have anticipated. So really,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 6: I gotta stop complaining. It's not that bad.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: No, Yeah, he's uh, he's blowing out and especially considering
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: maybe blowing off too strong. But I think, like considering
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: the level he's playing at schematically, given what's around him
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: and what's happening, like I think it's it's.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: Very fair to be super excited for the future, very nice.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Anything else on your mind when it comes to this
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: matchup before we start to wind out, Uh, I think I.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: Gott it all out of my system. Like my back
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: literally hurts from that man a little Fields.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: So sorry. I think I'm good and is what it is. Man,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 6: I you know I say it on my show. I'm
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 6: just bringing the same energy.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure that you know your amazing
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: fans get the full lowdown on what's going on in.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: Fox for nothing other than Drake Maye to be too
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: worried about in the division.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: At least, well, I appreciate it.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: We are going to start to wind down a bit
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: before we uh Sayarah goodbyes and give some final thoughts
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: on some things. I continue to bring this up from
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: the sponsor one Pi Pizza. You folks know the Drill
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: the best pizza in Buffalo. I don't say that because
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: they sponsored the show. They sponsored the show because I
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: think they truly are the best pizza in Buffalo. Also,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: they named a pizza after the show, which I think
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: is super cool. But yeah, it's pretty awesome. I've never
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: had a pizza like named after me or anything I'm
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: better part of.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 5: So that was pretty awesome.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: But they continue to do their Toys for Tots drive,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: So go in, get some amazing pizza, some homemade blue cheese.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: They also do catering and lots of different like food options,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: but the pizza is you know, the winner there. Get
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: yourself some amazing food and drop a toy off for
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: the tots if you can. I say this every single week.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. I know it's
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: a favorite holiday for a lot of people. It's not
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: for some, and it can be a bad time or
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: not so awesome time for the less fortunate. So if
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: you are able to stop down at One Pie Pizza,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: drop a toy off, get some food while you're at it,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: or even if it's not at One Pie and their
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: Toys for Tots at a church or donation, anything you
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: can do to kind of make someone's holiday a bit better.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's awesome if you do that and so,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: but if that doesn't appeal to you, and the pizza
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't appeal to you, maybe one of these prizes will.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: So every toy that you drop off, you get a
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: raffle ticket to increase your odds of winning one of
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the prizes listed. Their first place is they signed Josh
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Allen custom jersey. Second place is a signed James Cook jersey.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Third place is one free pizza a month for a year.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: That would honestly be my choice because the pizza's amazing.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Fourth place is for free pizzas. Fifth place is one
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: free pizza, So go down to one pie, drop off
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: a toy. Things are starting to wind down the eighteenth.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: It's starting when they start to close some things out
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: and start to go there, So hurry on down, get
