Patriots Unfiltered 12/2: Full Breakdown of 33-15 Win Over Giants, 10-Straight Wins, Playoff Picture · Patriots Unfiltered

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: And I just felt like it had been a long week.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: And you know, with these home night games, right, we
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: have a let's say Saturday, we were excuse me, Sunday,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and then we are done with them, and they go
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to the hotel and then you know, Monday morning meetings
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and then they leave and they go home and they
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: get some rest or whatever it is that they're going
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to do to prepare themselves for the game. And I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: just felt like I wanted to remind them that it
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: was important to have an attacking mindset and aggressive mindset
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to continue to find the joy throughout our team with
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: each other, playing, watching each other, feeding off each other,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the all three units, and just I think that's they
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: appreciate it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I think that they.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You know, I've said this after the game, the strength
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of our wide receiver unit is in the unit. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I know that that's hard for a position, especially that position.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: But everybody's catching passes, everybody's catching touchdowns, they're trying to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: block when they don't have the ball, and I understand
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and I think that that and I appreciate that, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: so I remind him of that. And it can't it's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: not going to be just one guy getting fifteen or
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: sixteen targets every week.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I just don't think that that's what this is.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And I appreciate their unselfishness, and I think that that
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: is just a small microcosm of what I want our
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: football team to look like and feel and be excited
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: when when Kyle catches a touchdown or when kay Sean
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: catches a touchdown, or whoever it may be that gets
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a big third down conversion for us. So that's all
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we're trying to do. In Christian Ellis, I think embodies ad.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: He's a great teammate. His teammates care deeply about him.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: He cares about this football team. He's got great relationships
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: throughout the building with his coaches and obviously with his teammates,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and that's another special group, you know. The linebacker and Christian.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Christian got us going. And again, there's nothing illegal about
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: anything that he did. There's nothing dirty there. It's it's
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: him playing football and whether it's covering kicks, and he
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: takes a lot of pride in that unit and also
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on defense.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: After getting us to go back.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: And watch the film, how do you think it's the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: less side of the offensive line.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I thought that they were excited about playing. And I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: think that that is probably the thing that pleases me
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the most is that they wanted it. Ned Verdarian wanted
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to go out there and play and compete and block,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and Ben you know, fought and battled and I know
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: he had a holding call, which you know, I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was was close.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, they called it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I got to stay inside out, but I don't.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen worse. There was worse yesterday, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that's what they called it. But but they were excited
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: about playing, and then they were prepared and they were
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: ready to go. So you know, that's kind of what
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you have to do with this time of the year
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: or anytime in the National Football League is is be
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: ready to go. No different than they or Munford coming
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: in there from Cleveland and helping us and being being
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: ready and going out there and helping us, and his
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: opportunities and we know what happens there. You probably get
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: more opportunities from his speed.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: What allows Marcus to just see things a way to see.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: That, well, I think that that's a great thing for him.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great question for him. What do
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you see? And I think the easiest way for me
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is whether he's fitting to run on defense as a
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: nickel or he's blitzing. As I said, just I guess,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: try to pretend like you have the football in your
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: hand and you got to weave through traffic and you
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: got to make these guys miss. And I mean, he
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: thinks he's six four, two hundred and fifty pounds, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: so I always tell him to run like you don't
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: have to hit these guards and you don't have to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: run into him on a run like you can slip
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and duck and dodge and do whatever. So I think
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: it's a mentality, it's a mindset to be able to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: do that, to run through the smoke, you know, days
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: of thunderstyle. And I think he got great effort from
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the guys blocking for him. We took care of the gunners.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: You know, Miles got to the second level. Tay did
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a great job setting up in a great in the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: location that that they talk about, and you know, got
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: it started. And then you know he did the rest,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Like did you.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Know just from watching Marcus's tape that he might be
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: a fit for what if you wanted to build here?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: How soon did you know it?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We didn't take long in the off season just from
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the personality, just from the the person the way that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he practiced the embodied I would say, the identity, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they just knew, you know, he was an elite punt
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: returner and so you know, we have to continue to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: make that a weapon and and force teams to to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: punt and and being in fourth and long to where
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you know, we have those opportunities to to double you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the gunners and things like that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It's you know, fourth and three, it's hard to double
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the gunners. And you want to be sound on everything.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Like when I did to.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: See Julie uh break down the huddle of team but
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: also was a game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Captain too, he was yep, yep.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Again, these these guys have built a bond that I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: want to try to just help nurture and help grow
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: throughout the team. And and Jilani is somebody like that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You see everybody reaching out and karen for each other,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: not just him, but uh, you know, it was great
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to see him out there play defense, help us on
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: special teams and you know, made some plays and contributed
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to us winning.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: Like you said that, this team has really earned this
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: bye week as late as it is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: What would you want your message, if you can share
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: with us, to the team as they go into the BI.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Week, to be well, we're not done, We're not satisfied.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I think champions are never satisfied. I think you can
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: appreciate where you are, but at the same time never
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: be satisfied or complacent. And the fine line between rest
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and recovery and you know, just being sedentary. So there's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: there's a fine line of what we have to do
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to be able to come back here. Understand that just
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: because you have a buye, that doesn't mean you're guaranteed
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: some victory the next week. In this league, you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: teams are sixteen and twelve coming off of bye this year,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: so obviously the buye doesn't guarantee anything other than we
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: should get some guys back that we didn't have last night,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and we'll see where that goes throughout the week. You know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: give them some time to reconnect with people that they
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: care about and then also be ready to focus on
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: football and us finishing this thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I explained, didn't The heaviest.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: DELI last year was that just a conscious decision You're
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to ye in a game that did a.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Little bit more in your frenship.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I mean I think that just playing everybody and you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: know where we are in the season, and Harold was
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: in that category as well, so you know, we got
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of trust in everybody that that's here and
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: be ready to go and just try to get everybody
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: ready for this next week.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Here says something last night about momentum reset. Momentum resets
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: every game and after the football.
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: Game, given that, like you get in went ten Street.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Puts the check.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, people went through moving forward.
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: Even though you guys are going into the.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Buy well, I think you focused, you know me staying consistent.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It has been something that we've tried to do with
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the message and you know, try to enhance the things
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that we do well and improve the things that were
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: maybe just okay at and then still finding ways to eliminate,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: eliminate the things that get you beat and then we'll
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: get back in on Monday and start that momentum for
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the week. I think confidence is something that potentially can carry.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I think you build momentum through the week and the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: way that you practice and the way that you correct
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: things and see things come together.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And you know, we'll we'll do it all again on Monday, like.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: You mentioned a couple of times in zero, continuing to
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: find joy, protecting your joy during the course of the season.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Obviously that's important, but I'm curious if there's anything top
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: of mind you're trying to guard against when you share
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: that message with the team.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: M I don't just appreciate what we do, where we
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: do it, and who who we do it with. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: think is important. Winning helps, but let's be honest, like
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: this is the National Football League. You're you're gonna have
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to go through some tough times and you're gonna lose
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: games whenever. That is that, you know, I mean, that's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: not our goal. But the goal is to just embrace
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and enjoy coming to work. Provide an environment for these
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: guys to have confidence in what they do and learn
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and figure out the game plan and how they can
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: help us win, put them in spots to do it,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and then try to, you know, glorify those efforts in
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: front of the team and in front of our fans
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and everything else.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I know you couldn't resist at Monday Night football into December,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: but November, what does that mean to you?
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: And that might cause my cleats to be.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Able to do that well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: First of all, I appreciate what our players do outside this.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Football team and in the community.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It's important that they take their platform and their gifts
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that they've been blessed with and share that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: With other people.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I do know that that's something that's important to a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: lot of guys on this team. So for them to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: be able to do that, I think is a great
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: thing on Monday Night, to bring awareness to the things
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that are important to them. I was able to share
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: in that and bring awareness to men's health and.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know, not a spring chicken anymore. So we all
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: have to focus on.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Being around for our families and providing for them and making,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you know, great decisions to take care of our bodies,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: take care of our health. And I appreciate to letting
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: everybody allow me to bring awareness to that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Like how important has it been to the success of
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: your offense?
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: The drake is really seemingly willing to throw to anybody.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: I'm just thinking of the touchdown to Kyle last night.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: That's a connection that hasn't worked, you know, necessarily one
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: hundred percent at the time this season.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: But he's still They're.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Never going to be one hundred percent. No connection is
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: going to be one hundred percent. Don't come me off, Phil,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: nobody's going to be one hundred percent. I've said this
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to you and a Drake and everybody else. The quarterback's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: job is to throw to the person that's open in
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the progression when they're open, because if you don't do that,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: then you wait things out and you complain about stripsacks
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: or you complain about getting hurt. And that may be
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: a five yard completion and a drop step and a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: knife for eight or nine yards, and if we're lucky,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: it's a first down. But I think he's done that,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and I think that what I talked about with the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: receivers of just saying, hey, go run my route to win,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and I may be on the front side of the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: route or I may be on the backside. And I
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: think Todd's tried to do a good job downing of
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: explaining to them, hey, you've got some time. You're not
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the fourth read. Like he doesn't say they're the fourth read.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: He says, you got some time because you're going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: be backside on this and the quarterback is going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: progress through and if nobody's open through the progression, well
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: then this is where we want you.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And This is where the quarterbacks trying to, you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: find you.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And if somebody's open earlier in the progression, then we
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: need to throw them the football so that bad things
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: don't happen. And I just sometimes when you wait things
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: out for one particular guy, bad things can happen. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: to answer your question, it's great to see the trust
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: being built and that happens through practice and then when
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Kyle gets an opportunity or Pop gets an opportunity or
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Poop down the seam or whoever it may be, that
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the quarterback has trust in them to throw the football
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and put it where it's supposed to go. Like coaching
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: receivers does not sort of rushing kits to think a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: lot of guys want the ball, and we want them
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to want the ball made good. I think Todd is
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: very knowledgeable. I think he builds great connections with his players.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: He makes it there's a lot of trust there. Does
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: he gives them exactly what they need, what each individual needs.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Matt Collins is different than Steph, and Pop's different than Booty,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and that's just the personalities of every player on this team.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And the vision that I had for it is what
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: it is, and again, we've got a long way to go,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: but I do having coached quarterbacks, I think that that
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: was an interesting transition, is to be able to explain
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it in the eyes of a quarterback so that the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: receivers know, hey, this is what the quarterback's being told
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: on this particular pay And if I don't have spacing,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: or I don't have a separation, or I don't have
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a stem, or I don't whatever the quarterback's looking for
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: an indicator or whatever it may be, then I'm probably
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: not going to get the ball. So I do feel
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: like that's been been a positive way to approach that
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: coach in that position.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you guys.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: All right, that was Mike Rabel and this is Patriots Unfiltered.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: A little bit of a different start with Rabel going
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: at noon. But here we are on a Tuesday after
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: a Monday night game. A rare kind of quick pu
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: after a game. We don't get to do these, like.
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: An extended post games.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Like we never left. It's Paul, it's Stuce, it's me Evan.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Will he be by lady? I think he'll stop through.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: He's shooting now. He's very busy. He's very busy, very busy.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: He has a lot of chance to grind the tape
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: in the way that he wishes he could.
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: He hasn't been in the lab yet.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: He hasn't been in the lab. He can't come in
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and you know, share his insight with us yet. So
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: hopefully he'll he's doing a film breakdown. But I think
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I might run to the locker room briefly, just get
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: a vibe check and I'll come back if you guys
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: are all right together. If that's that's okay to see you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Do you need to go in for mole No great job,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: morales high.
• 13:56
  Speaker 12: But sometimes for the buye. You want to make sure
• 13:58
  Speaker 12: that they stay on the straight.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: And they don't want to see me, you know, they
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: just want to get get going.
• 14:05
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they're going to get a little bit of an
• 14:06
  Speaker 12: extended break here.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this will be it. So they'll be gone after
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: today until Monday. Get a little little rest, relaxation, Be safe,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: be smart, Paul, And I saw Jared Wilson this morning
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: walking in maybe off the rehab field. So maybe he's
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: one guy that I don't know how many you can hope.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, Mill Williams, Will Campbell not going to be back.
• 14:24
  Speaker 13: They can't be I would say, Tonga in Wilson, the
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: two guys you know, and Rabel. You know, we just
• 14:30
  Speaker 13: heard from Mike as Fred said, he said that, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 13: there's a chance to get some guys back, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 13: when they get back from the by I would say,
• 14:37
  Speaker 13: those are the two guys that I would have my
• 14:38
  Speaker 13: eye on.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let Landry get maybe maybe his knee gets a
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: little healthier. We'll see.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: So we're coming off a thirty three to fifteen win
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: over the Giants. Patriots are eleven and two. Now I
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: heard this, and maybe you guys can correct me. When
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: they come back, they'll be playing the Bills. If they
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: beat the Bills. Is that a hatt and T shirt game?
• 15:00
  Speaker 12: Absolutely?
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: That clinches the a f C East. If they beat
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the Bills.
• 15:04
  Speaker 13: Correct, they'd be up three with two with three left
• 15:08
  Speaker 13: in the tie break.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: And the tiebreaker. So again, we were marveling at where
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: we are compared to where we were just even hoping
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: to be when the season started. And we're talking about
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: a possibility of clinching the AFC East with three games
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: to go.
• 15:27
  Speaker 13: I'm more surprised at that, and I'm surprised that they're
• 15:31
  Speaker 13: eleven to two. I'm not trying to pretend, oh I
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: saw just come.
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: I didn't.
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: You know, I'm sure you know Christian in La will
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: call and yell at me again like you did last night.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: But the fact that that that is a hat and
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: T shirt game I did not see coming.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: I think I kind of mocked you Fred in the
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: Buffalo game. In full disclosure, I think when we talked
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: about the first Buffalo game, you know, and I said,
• 15:55
  Speaker 13: you know, it'd be a blip in the radar. Well,
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: it wasn't a blip in the radar. It was a
• 15:59
  Speaker 13: changing of the guy. Yeah, yeah, you know, at least
• 16:02
  Speaker 13: for twenty twenty five.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: We touched on a little last night, like for me,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: they gotta win the division, Like they got to win
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: the division. Yeah, Like, it's just that I don't know
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: how the season is going to end, but to at
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: least come out of this season with an AFC East title,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: to take that back from Buffalo, I mean that to
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: me is mind blowing. But now I'm just I feel
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: like I'm savoring this. Now, I'm savoring eleven and two.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I'm savoring this win streak and everything that's happened. And
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: then I think over the next week. I'm just going
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: to try to throw it out and be like, Okay,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: let's just look at this team anew four games. Where
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: do they end up in the seed? Did they get
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: the division? And what's the path look like for him?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: You know, and that I think, you know, reveling in
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the success a little bit of just what a surprising season.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just I never would have thought that
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: when we walked out of that Pittsburgh game they turned
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the ball over five times, Ormandre's coughing it up, Drake
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: looks like he's going to be up and down all year.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: And they never lost again.
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the Pittsburgh game was disappointing, but I think you
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: could make it an argument that it showed you that
• 16:56
  Speaker 13: they would be how much better they were so play
• 16:59
  Speaker 13: that slow and still have an opportunity to win the opener.
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: When I was walking with you, Mike in the parking
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: lot and the opener, I said, this is another you know,
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: I was thinking, you know, maybe six or seven wins,
• 17:12
  Speaker 13: But I did not envision this kind of turn on.
• 17:14
  Speaker 12: They were not good. Think about how bad the Raiders are.
• 17:18
  Speaker 13: The Raiders are a terrible football team, and the Patriots
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: were not really on par with them that day. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: mean it ended up being a touchdown game. The Raiders
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: were the better team for the vast majority of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: sixty minutes. They couldn't stop Geno Smith, Drake May couldn't
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: really get anything going offensively. But now thirteen games, like
• 17:39
  Speaker 13: you know whatever, thirteen weeks later, like you're the best
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: team in the AFC.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: What do you think the turning point for the season
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: was has been so far? Was it the Buffalo game?
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Was that the game where it turned the seat like, Okay,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: we're a good team, or was it another.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I think so? I think so. I mean it's just
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: hard to pinpoint a moment because really I think it's
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: about Drake and then about how he's playing, and you
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: saw him have some moments of those first few weeks,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: and then when you got the Buffalo and you went
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: toe to toe with Josh Allen and it's I mean,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: you know, Sunday night game audience, the whole thing, and
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: to see some of the throws he came, that's where
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: it felt like, man, this this seems something special could happen.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: That validated it. To me, The Buffalo game was the
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: one that stands out.
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: I think for them, Freda. Was that Pittsburgh loss. Yeah,
• 18:20
  Speaker 13: just I think it showed them this is all on us. Yeah, Now,
• 18:25
  Speaker 13: this isn't about the other team. It wasn't because it
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: wasn't Pittsburgh wasn't like taking the ball away all the time.
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: I mean they forced, you know, a fumble or two,
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: but like they were a lot of self inflicted wounds.
• 18:35
  Speaker 13: And I think they looked at each other and said,
• 18:37
  Speaker 13: you know, this is on us. If we play the
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: way we can play, we're gonna win these games more
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: often than not.
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: They've won ten in a row.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go take a quick vibe check. I'll
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: be right back. Okay, don't worry.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: See how the boys.
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: I do worry, Michael, and you know I do.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: I'm not here.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: My song will come. Be ready for the glass break?
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: All right? All right, okay, all right, So Mike stait
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: to bring me a pepsi back when you're coming off
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: to the locker room. It's gotta see his guys.
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: He does, Yeah, he does, but it is money, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 13: And I like a lot of times, you know, you
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: and I will bicker when you stopping. Well, you know
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: you didn't see this, And I was like, yeah, you
• 19:12
  Speaker 13: kind of like no one, no one saw it. Like everybody,
• 19:16
  Speaker 13: even the people that thought that they were going to
• 19:18
  Speaker 13: be really good, I don't think they envisioned, you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 13: ten in a row.
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: Top of the conference.
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: People were like, you know, they might be able to
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: give Buffalo a run for the division, but they're probably
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: going to be a wild card. This is like it's
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: all in front of them right now. I agree with Mike.
• 19:34
  Speaker 13: The division to me should be a formality. Yeah, the
• 19:38
  Speaker 13: number one seed is there for the taking. And I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 13: not dismissing Denver. They've played really well too. They've won
• 19:44
  Speaker 13: nine in a row. So there's a lot, there's a
• 19:48
  Speaker 13: lot still to be you know.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Obviously Buffalo has to play this week therebye, they've already
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: had their bye and things can change. But man, that
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: game coming up into that's going to be a wild one.
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: Well you think it should be a blowout because you
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: think Buffalo stinks.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I think the windows closing they're not as good as closed.
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: You've said it closed, okay, you said I think you
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: said last night.
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but the foundations are built with some kind of
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: a cocta.
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: You know, construction is replacement window.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know that you just I don't.
• 20:22
  Speaker 13: Want to hear you tell me about this is going
• 20:24
  Speaker 13: to be a ward. I think it's going to be
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: a blowout.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: No, I don't. The Bills are going to I don't.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: The Bills are going to come in as a desperate
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: team and they're going to be playing hard, and it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be a heavyweight out.
• 20:38
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I'd be curious to see what they look like
• 20:42
  Speaker 13: this week.
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: Again said they played the Bengals.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing.
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: I don't know if they got enough left in the tank.
• 20:48
  Speaker 13: I think they've lost. I think they've lost a lot
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: of players. I don't know who's playing this week. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: don't know what the status of some of their guys is.
• 20:56
  Speaker 13: But at some point, you know, even the great teams,
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: And I'm not saying that Buffalo has been a great
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: team because they I just think they've been.
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: A good team. Yea, at some point game for me, at.
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: Some point, there's there's like one of those years. And
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: I think you're seeing that in the AFC. I mentioned
• 21:13
  Speaker 13: this last night. This is why I think expectations are different,
• 21:16
  Speaker 13: and I think you and I agreed on this part.
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: Just like you have a chance to have Mahomes, Alan Jackson,
• 21:22
  Speaker 13: and Burrow not involved in the playoffs, right when everybody
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: looked at it as if they were a playoff team,
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: and a lot of people I'm not. Just because I
• 21:30
  Speaker 13: didn't think they were a playoff team doesn't mean no
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: one else did. A lot of people thought this was
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: the Patriots were a playoff team because of the schedule,
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: they thought that they could be a wildcard.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: But you thought, if if they get a.
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: Wildcard, you then have to deal with in some combination
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: of those quarterbacks and they might not have to.
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: Really see any of them.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: It's increading.
• 21:49
  Speaker 13: Maybe one of them, you know, maybe Lamar Jackson, you
• 21:54
  Speaker 13: know in Baltimore hasn't hasn't played great really all year.
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: But they've been very inconsistent all seed.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: But their benefit fitting from a week conference week, division
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: week division I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean.
• 22:04
  Speaker 13: They're five hundred and there they're at top of the division,
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: you know, whereas you know, Buffalo's eight and four and
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: they are, you know, two games back.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Right right, So it's it's incredible, Like Mike said, you know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: savor it for now, but this there's still work to
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: do and this game coming up with the Bills, like
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: we said, just amazing. To think that you win that
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: game and you clinch the AFC East with three games
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: to go, just just incredible. But you got to do it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: You can't just hope to do it. You got to.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: You gotta get it done. And they're going to come
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: in here, the Bills, and they're gonna be.
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: A lot that can happen in the next fourteen days.
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: But I think right now, if you're asking me, I
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: think that's going to happen. Wow, I don't see the
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: Patriots losing at home coming out of the bar like
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: to a banged.
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: Up Bills team.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 13: And I know the Patriots are banged up a little
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: bit too, but yeah, not like these other teams.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Now, your guys, Steven a this morning had his power rankings.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: Who do you think he had as the number one
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: team in.
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: The whole NFL?
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Whole NFL?
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: Rams, Nope, I'm not really interested.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Then the Seahawks. Who do you think he had number two?
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: The Rams? Nope? The Patriots? Okay. And I think that
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: was more like, I'm sorry, you know, for doing what
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: he said, said they break may.
• 23:20
  Speaker 12: The Patriots have been too in those rankings.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: This is just Stephen a Smith's ranking.
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know what what what show is he on?
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: I have no idea. No, it's they all blend together.
• 23:31
  Speaker 12: That was being ironic, I know what you I was
• 23:34
  Speaker 12: pretending to me.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: They all blend together because they're all on each other's show,
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: So who.
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: Knows power rankings.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: They're just fun, just fun.
• 23:42
  Speaker 12: I agree.
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: I missed doing them. I used to do them, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: in the notes, I just because they you know, there's
• 23:48
  Speaker 13: no stakes. Yeah, you know, it's not a poll. It's
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: not like college where it kind of matters.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: It's all recency bias. It's all who's hot at the moment.
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: Well, that recency bias is so true.
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: Like I was listening this morning at one of my
• 24:01
  Speaker 13: shows when I was driving in, and it's like Matthew
• 24:06
  Speaker 13: Stafford's no longer MVP, the Rams are no longer any good.
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: Like the Rams lost to Carolina, right, you know, Pitt,
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: It's like, wait a minute, the Patriots lost to the Raiders.
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: Like everybody has one of those stink bombs. And for
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: some reason, because the Patriots happened so long ago, it
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: like didn't exist, you know. And that's the way I'm
• 24:27
  Speaker 13: listening to it. It's like geez, I mean, I don't
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: know if you watched any of that Rams game, you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 13: Stafford had gone like I don't know, six or seven
• 24:35
  Speaker 13: weeks without a turnover. All of a sudden, he throws
• 24:38
  Speaker 13: a pick in the end zone that gets deflected. He
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: tows a pick six that would be down in scoring
• 24:42
  Speaker 13: range again, and then late in the game there in
• 24:44
  Speaker 13: field goal range to tie the game, and.
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: He gets strip sacked.
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: Three specific turnovers that took points off the board for
• 24:50
  Speaker 13: them and put points on the board for the Panthers.
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: Like, that's the.
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: Difference in the game. You lose thirty one to twenty eight.
• 24:55
  Speaker 13: You know, even the good teams, like the Patriots learned
• 24:59
  Speaker 13: against Pittsburgh, even the good teams can't just hand the
• 25:02
  Speaker 13: other team the ball and expect to win.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: No, So to me, that does not knock him down
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: from the MVP race. I think he's to me, he's
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: still the leader.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't really.
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think May has been strongly and I told
• 25:18
  Speaker 13: you I would make an argument for May anyway, just
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: because of how much less he's got to work with
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: than scorer does. But the Rams to me, are still
• 25:26
  Speaker 13: the best team, best balance. They had a bad game.
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: They played a bad game yep against Carolina, and Carolina,
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: for whatever reason, is one of these jekyl and high
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: teams that every other week they look really good and
• 25:37
  Speaker 13: then really bad. They're able to rise their level occasionally,
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: but you know, we saw them play here and they
• 25:44
  Speaker 13: look terrible. We see them play, you know, against San
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: Francisco last week, they look like they'd never played before.
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: You know, brock Perty's throwing them interceptions all over the
• 25:55
  Speaker 13: place and they couldn't move, they couldn't get anything going.
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: The next week they beat the Rams or as how
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: does any team in football?
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's it is a week to week thing.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: But the Patriots have been one of those teams that
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: have been consistent. Ten games in a row, ten games
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: in a row.
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: I was doing Denver play this week.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Yeah, I was doing the math. And
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: you know, if the Patriots keep winning all the way,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: that'll be seventeen in a row, and then next year
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: you need five to break their own record of twenty
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: one games in a row. Okay, so I'm really thinking
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: of head Paul. All right, all right, eight five to
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: five past five hundred is the Hotline podcast at Patriots
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: dot com is the email address. You know, we just
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: came off two hours of the postgame show, so we
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: said a lot then. And you know, so I know
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: some of you probably weren't up with us, so we
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: want to get people involved as soon as.
• 26:53
  Speaker 13: Possible as I think this was as impressive a performance
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: as the Patriots have had. This was, you know, the
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: seventeen nothing in the first quarter game set match. You know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: I thought the energy that they played with, the physicality
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: they played with. You mentioned Christian Ellis, Yeah, I thought
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: he really stood out. You mentioned him last night on
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: your good list. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was as
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: completer performance as they've had in all three phases.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say, and you know, Rabel kind of
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: confirmed it that. You know, he reminded them you got
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: to bring the energy. You know a lot of people
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: would have said, well, you can understand, like if the
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: Patriots had come in not one hundred percent energy wise,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Oh you can understand, they're little banged up, you got
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: the buy coming up. They just wanted to get through
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: the game. But instead Rabel reminded them to you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: you're out there playing football. Bring the energy. They made
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: I think the concerted you know, commitment to be the hammer,
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: not the nails.
• 27:45
  Speaker 13: So I totally agree with that iron Sharpen's iron. I'll
• 27:49
  Speaker 13: just throw them all in there for you. But I
• 27:50
  Speaker 13: also thought Rabel made a really good point that kind of,
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: you know, it was overlooked. I think a lot of
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: people are like I kind of expected them to look
• 28:00
  Speaker 13: at the you know, the buy coming up at thirteen weeks.
• 28:03
  Speaker 13: But he made the point that there were guys playing
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: in that game. They haven't played right, and they wanted
• 28:07
  Speaker 13: to play right. They were looking forward to getting their opportunity,
• 28:10
  Speaker 13: and those guys were a big part of that win
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: last night.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 28:13
  Speaker 13: Some of those guys, you know, Corey Burden, who's out
• 28:16
  Speaker 13: there a little bit, Ponder who's out there making plays,
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: Josh Farmer, you know, Vederian Lowe and Ben Brown who
• 28:23
  Speaker 13: haven't had a ton of playing time, you know, on
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: the offensive line, Thayo Mumford is out there is that
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: the you know, the extra tight end. So I think
• 28:31
  Speaker 13: those guys are fresh. Yep, you know, so I think
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: they you know, and elis even it's been sort of
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: like a part time player has been in and out.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Gibbons is taking some of his reps he missed a
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: couple of games.
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: Some of these guys that are flying around a little bit,
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: you know, I think we're looking for an opportunity and
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: they took advantage of it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Yep, good stuff, all right, eight five five pats five hundred.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Where do we go? Let's go to d C where
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: herm is on the line. What's up herm.
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: Going on?
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 29:02
  Speaker 15: Quick comment and a question. So watching yesterdays game, that
• 29:08
  Speaker 15: gives me even more confidence to proclaim that the floor
• 29:13
  Speaker 15: for this team is the is the championship? I mean,
• 29:15
  Speaker 15: between Ravel's coaching and I think Josh McDaniels, in my
• 29:22
  Speaker 15: first opinion, has a underrated role this. The entire thing
• 29:26
  Speaker 15: is obviously with break maybe the NTY candidate, I think
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: he has less to do with it. So between Ravel's
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: coaching and doctor Daniels, but I mean this drag may
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: he's he will not roll in a high leverage moment.
• 29:44
  Speaker 15: So between those three components, obviously the defense and playing
• 29:47
  Speaker 15: the city, that just gives me a lot of confidence
• 29:51
  Speaker 15: that that is championship is okay?
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 29:56
  Speaker 15: The question for you guys is Marcus Jones, right, So
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: what is it about him that? And it sounds like
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: a simple question, right, But why is he so dangerous
• 30:09
  Speaker 15: in the punt return game? Is it that he just
• 30:12
  Speaker 15: knows how to have these blocks?
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Is it is his speed?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: I don't know how A team scared of him so
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: they play kind of pimid that he takes advantage of them.
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: Right, So what is it about hands?
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Specific good?
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: I mean, this kid is Yeah, you be on standards, right,
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: So yeah, the question is what will makes.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: So what makes him that good? Yeah? I hear you, herm.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: It's a good question. And you know, I would say,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: like it's a good question to ask of any of
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: these great punt returners, Like what separates the really good
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: punt returners from just you know, the average punt returners.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: You mentioned a lot of it. Yes, he's fast. I
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: think the other thing is fearlessness. I think you just
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: got to just be willing to just get up there.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: And then the third thing I would say is is
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: just vision and just make the right move at the
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: right time. Now, the one he returned last night, the
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Giants had just terrible Like they when you play special teams,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: this is the thing the coaches, you know, stay in
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: your lane, stay in your lane. And there were just
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: too many gaps on the field, and when you got
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: a guy with speed and vision and fearlessness, he's going
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: to take advantage of that, and he certainly did. He
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: went untouched. Really, I don't think anyone.
• 31:25
  Speaker 13: The only guy he had to make miss was the punter, right.
• 31:28
  Speaker 13: I would say that the things that you said, I
• 31:30
  Speaker 13: would agree with, and I would just say he has
• 31:32
  Speaker 13: elite decision making. Yeah, and you know, there are times
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: that he has really impressive and I listen, I have
• 31:39
  Speaker 13: a crush on Marcus Jones, and I have since the
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: first time I saw Army return a punt. You know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: I think he's electric in that department. I think he's
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: one of the best I've ever seen, and I'm not exaggerating.
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: But there are sometimes that he makes plays on fair
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: catches or running up ten yards and catching one in
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: traffic that they're so underrated and do not happen with
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: every and there's a lot of guys around.
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: The league that can do it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 13: He's not the only one that does that, but he's
• 32:08
  Speaker 13: elite at understanding when that yardage needs to be saved.
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: You know, you look at it fall. He was a
• 32:14
  Speaker 13: ninety four yard part return last night. Some guys would
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: have let it go in the end zone, just taken
• 32:18
  Speaker 13: the touch back, you know, but he sees the space
• 32:22
  Speaker 13: that he had and he understands that, you know, the
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: time and space. I just think it's a combination of
• 32:27
  Speaker 13: his fearlessness and his decision making and obviously has God
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: given ability, you know, and speed and elusiveness and whatnot.
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: But we've seen it a couple of years ago as
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: an offensive player. You know, he gets a little screen
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: pass and he's like, guys, miss, he's gone.
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: And you see that he's the elite runner with the football.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: You see that fearlessness in the run game too. He's
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: not afraid to take out about that today. And let
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: me tell you, Marcus Jones is not a hair over
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: five to seven.
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: No, he's he's small, smaller than me.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: I told these guys, you know, we're on the road.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: I'm in the elevator of doors open. He walks in
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: ice to God, he's right with me, and I'm short,
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: and he he was eye to eye with me. And
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: but he is, you know, he's as solid as they come.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Like Paul said, great athlete, and he's just different than
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: other guys. Yeah, he's just different.
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: And it's been a weapon for them. Yeah, you know
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: that's I mean, that's what three huge punt returns. Two
• 33:22
  Speaker 13: touchdowns now, but three long long punt reach.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: So there was an announcement when he had his touchdown.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: He is the fourth Patriot enfranchised history to have two
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: returns in the same season. Troy Brown was another one,
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: and I forget the other.
• 33:40
  Speaker 13: Trey Brown did in No one I remember that in
• 33:42
  Speaker 13: the Super Bowl year. I think Mikeynes.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Canes probably did it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: I don't know, Yep, Fryer do it.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: But hey, Savage, time to get three.
• 33:53
  Speaker 13: He's averaging almost nineteen yards of punt return eighteen point eight.
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: That's an incredibly high number.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah all right, good question though about Marcus Jones. Let's
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: go to Sean and Vancouver. What's up Sean? Sean? All right,
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Sean has gone. How about we'll stay in Canada. We'll
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: go to Tony. Hey, Tony, Hey.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Guys, what a great game last night. I'm just calling
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: in to congratulate Mike Rabel for winning Coach of the
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: Year this year. No, seriously, what I'm calling about is
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: Rabel and just what in I think when we think
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: about where we were this time last year or the
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: year before, and where we're at now, it's really hard
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: to believe. And I know a lot of people have
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: said good things about Rabel and giving him credit, but
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: I don't think he's actually getting enough credit. And when
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: I say Coach of the Year, I sincerely believe he's
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: gonna he has got locked up but.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Doing a good job.
• 35:03
  Speaker 13: I don't think it's lucked out. I mean, I find
• 35:05
  Speaker 13: it hard to believe that he's not getting enough credit.
• 35:08
  Speaker 13: He's generally one or one A. Yeah, the reasons it's
• 35:11
  Speaker 13: either Drake may or Mike Rabel getting a credit.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Getting a lot of credit, and he's getting a lot
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: of credit nationally.
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Okay, and I'll listen to the show. By one thing
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Rabel said in his first introductory press conference, he said
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: the goals were to win the AFC East, to host
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: playoff games, and to compete for championships. When I heard it,
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: I said, yeah, I believe it, but maybe in two
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: or three years if everything goes our way. And now
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: we're one game away from winning that AFC East game.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: So you got that right?
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Thanks for the show, guys.
• 35:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, thanks Tony, Thanks for Colin. I'll give you
• 35:47
  Speaker 13: one thing that I don't think has gotten as much
• 35:50
  Speaker 13: attention as it should is just how good of an
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: offseason they had. And if that you want to credit
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: Vrabel specifically or Ryan Cowden and Elliott Woolf for their
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: roles in it. But they nailed several free agents. I mean,
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: this is very similar to twenty one like they had.
• 36:08
  Speaker 13: This is even better than twenty one because I think
• 36:10
  Speaker 13: there's more guys that have made an impact, whether it's
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: Milton Williams or Carlton Davis or Robert Spellane, you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: Morgan Moses. They have hit on virtually every one of
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: Stefan Diggs, mac Hollans, Caylevon Chase On, Kyris Tanga. They
• 36:28
  Speaker 13: there's not like a miss in the bunch. And how
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: do you you know people might look at it and say, well,
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: she used They took a full win team. That's how
• 36:35
  Speaker 13: you do it. Yep, yeah, that's how you do it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 13: It's not the same guys.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, now you nailed it, Paul. Great acquisitions. They brought
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: in not just guys, but the right guys who Harold
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Andrey and then and then I would and then when
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: you couple that with good coaching, which I think we're
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: seeing as well, up and down. You know, the director,
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: the staff directory, you know, they're putting him in positions
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: to six and it's just all coming together, folks, it's
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: all coming together. We're talking Bears Patriots super Bowl forty years.
• 37:09
  Speaker 13: I don't think the Bears have a shot in hell really,
• 37:12
  Speaker 13: why because how does they They had good I don't know.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: The record says otherwise. They're the number one seed in
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: the NFC. I know, this is supposed to be the
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: top NFC. That's very so much better than they.
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: Are very consistent, I know, and that's why they're there
• 37:30
  Speaker 13: because the other teams are beating the crap out of
• 37:32
  Speaker 13: each other, and they're beating the crap out of the
• 37:34
  Speaker 13: bad teams.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, but I don't know.
• 37:37
  Speaker 13: They had a very impressive Black Friday win in Philadelphia.
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: That was a big boy win.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:41
  Speaker 13: Now, I'll be curious to see if they can do
• 37:43
  Speaker 13: that to Green Bay and they can do that to Detroit.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Sure, we'll see.
• 37:47
  Speaker 13: I'm skeptical, but listen, if I'm a Bears, that doesn't
• 37:50
  Speaker 13: mean that the track is in the train's not going
• 37:52
  Speaker 13: in the right direction, Ben Johnson, And I know you
• 37:55
  Speaker 13: said this in Tony's call, like Ben Johnson's going to
• 37:58
  Speaker 13: be in that conversation. I don't know it's going to
• 38:00
  Speaker 13: happen with Indy with Daniel Jones's broken leg, but if
• 38:02
  Speaker 13: they can write the ship, Shane Stiken is going to
• 38:04
  Speaker 13: be in that conversation. And by the way, Sean Payton
• 38:07
  Speaker 13: deserves to be in that conversation too. Yep, he's got
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: a second year quarterback just like my trible does you know?
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: But when you talk about Ben Johnson, if I'm a
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Bears fan, I'm as happy with him as Patriots fans
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: are with FEU.
• 38:19
  Speaker 13: I mean, no doubt Chicago's going in the right direction.
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: I'm not sure they worthy of being with him?
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Is Ben Johnson not only is the head coach, but he's,
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: you know, really the defensive coordinator. He's calling the plays anyway,
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: and I would say he's been probably instrumental in getting
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Caleb Williams right.
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah see, I you know this.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: I'm a believer in Caleb Williams's talent. I don't think
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: he's played that great. I think he's been good when
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: he's had to be yes, which is a big plus.
• 38:45
  Speaker 13: In his column, He's been clutch, but I think there's
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: still too much sloppiness to his game.
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: I think this.
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: You know, I'm not a big completion percentage guy, but
• 38:55
  Speaker 13: you really need to be over sixty five percent. He's not, no,
• 38:59
  Speaker 13: but I think many games he's in the fifties.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: I think he's got the clutch Gen.
• 39:02
  Speaker 13: He definitely has the clutch Geen and they and they
• 39:05
  Speaker 13: definitely respond to him right now. So he's done something
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: different in year two to get his teammates, you.
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: Know, behind him.
• 39:11
  Speaker 13: I will give that they're going in the right direction. Chicago,
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: I think is very promising. But if they were playing
• 39:18
  Speaker 13: at Detroit tomorrow, if they were playing home against Green
• 39:20
  Speaker 13: Bay tomorrow, if they were playing the Rams tomorrow, who
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: would you think would win?
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know who.
• 39:26
  Speaker 12: Do you think none of us, Fred, we don't know.
• 39:29
  Speaker 12: The game hadn't played.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: I think those other teams would probably be favored.
• 39:32
  Speaker 12: Right, So that's all I'm saying.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 39:34
  Speaker 13: Whereas I think if the Patriots are playing Denver tomorrow,
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: I think it'd.
• 39:37
  Speaker 12: Be a toss up.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Well, if it's in Denver, they might be.
• 39:39
  Speaker 12: But I think it'd be a toss up.
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: I don't think it would be a toss up if
• 39:42
  Speaker 13: the Bears are playing the Packers in Lambeau tomorrow.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: See the Packers like they've been inconsistent too.
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: So they have been, but they're better players. They have
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: better players than the Bears.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, well listen. If I'm a Bears fan, I'm like.
• 39:56
  Speaker 13: Like Paul, Iams have a nine to three record too,
• 39:59
  Speaker 13: and you know, whatever the tiebreaker is currently has the
• 40:02
  Speaker 13: Bears ahead of them. I don't even think there's a
• 40:04
  Speaker 13: comparison between those two rosters. I don't think it's close.
• 40:08
  Speaker 13: I think the Rims would be favored by like seven
• 40:10
  Speaker 13: in a game that they're playing against against the Bears.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, Paul, mark it down. Patriots Bears forty
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: years from the day.
• 40:19
  Speaker 13: That would be an unbelievable break for the Patriots to
• 40:22
  Speaker 13: play out of that conference, the least talented team out
• 40:28
  Speaker 13: of the seventh playoffs. But I would rather play every
• 40:31
  Speaker 13: if they get to Chicago than any of the other
• 40:34
  Speaker 13: ones they.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Get to the super Bowl. Though, they've done something right,
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: they've beaten all those teams they'll have to have beaten
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: them in the playoffs. They what's up, Mike, Yeah, Paul
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: doesn't think the Bears are any good.
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: I didn't say any good.
• 40:51
  Speaker 13: I don't think. I think Caleb Williams is extremely talented.
• 40:54
  Speaker 13: I do, and I think that. I just to tell
• 40:57
  Speaker 13: you what I actually said is I think that they
• 41:00
  Speaker 13: be tremendously optimistic in Chicago. They're heading in the right
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: direction and they're much better. I think Caleb Williams is
• 41:05
  Speaker 13: making strides. I think he's been really clutched. Fred said
• 41:07
  Speaker 13: he has the clutch gene. I said, absolutely, I agree.
• 41:10
  Speaker 13: I just don't think that he's consistent enough. And I
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: don't think the team it's I think the defense lives
• 41:13
  Speaker 13: off turnovers. I think the defense is kind of mid
• 41:16
  Speaker 13: as you guys, you kids like to say thank you
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: for They live off of forcing turnovers, which is to me,
• 41:22
  Speaker 13: not a way to sustain in the playoffs. All you
• 41:25
  Speaker 13: have to do is have one game. One game, you
• 41:27
  Speaker 13: don't force the turnovers, and you go home. I don't
• 41:30
  Speaker 13: think they're.
• 41:30
  Speaker 12: As good as Philly.
• 41:32
  Speaker 13: I know they just beat Philadelphia, Okay, I don't think
• 41:34
  Speaker 13: there as good as Philadelphia. I don't think they're as
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: good as the Rams. I don't think they're as good
• 41:39
  Speaker 13: as the Seahawks. I don't think there as good as
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: the Packers. I don't think they're as good as the Lions.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: Have you watched Philly lately?
• 41:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they're spirally Okay, they lost the game, Fred, Like,
• 41:48
  Speaker 13: didn't we do this last year?
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you what. Maybe they'll turn it around, but
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I don't. I don't look at Philly.
• 41:53
  Speaker 13: As I'm talking about talent. I'm not talking about how
• 41:56
  Speaker 13: they're actually playing.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Like I'm talking about how the team is playing.
• 41:59
  Speaker 13: Sometimes the talent just wins out, you know. Sometimes Friday
• 42:04
  Speaker 13: it didn't. Sometimes the lesser talented team beat the more talent.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: And sometimes regardless of the talent, the team just can't
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: get it together.
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: Upsets happened, all right. I don't know why, Like you're
• 42:14
  Speaker 12: eight and four, you just can't get it together. Like,
• 42:16
  Speaker 12: I don't like it. It's not they're not three and nine.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: You're not paying attention, all right, Deuce? Yeah, what's going on?
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: So it's a lively locker room today, lively locker room
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: seemed like guys were kind of getting ready to leave.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: But a couple things to report. Oh, it's nice to
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: see Will Campbell. I just I saw Will Cambell and
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: there having laid eyes on Will Campbell last week since
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: he got hurt. He had a big, old, big old
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: knee brace on.
• 42:38
  Speaker 12: I saw Will Campbell on Friday.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: I haven't seen it, so wow, it's just like those
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: old cartoons where the heart like comes out.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: Oh well, he's not dead.
• 42:46
  Speaker 12: But I don't know.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I think everybody, like a lot of people. I'll speak
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: for myself, like when the kid went down, you're just
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: like such a bummer. And he's always so great in
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: the locker room, love hearing from him. So it's just
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: good to see him in a reminder that he's not dead.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: He's still there. You know, his leg is still attached.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: But he did have a brace on, you know, moving
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: as gingerly as someone would with a leg brace on,
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: but not like you know, he's walking and everything. So
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: good sign. I mean, he's just got to continue to
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: get healthy. But but we did talk to klevon Chase
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: on who continues to echo this like this is my
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: favorite team I've been a part of, you know, the
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: just the locker room and and said the before asked
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: the follow up question of you know what, how does
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: that manifest itself? Like why? And he's like, you know,
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: I just think we have belief in ourselves and we
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: also just are really close. If you go to any
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: of the community events. He said, guys are coming out
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: for that showing up. You know, it's not just on
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: the field. So just good vibes from Kaylebon Chase on.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: But you just tell all these guys there's a weight
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: lifted off them for the moment, you know, like Robert
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Splain was gooving around in the locker room. You don't
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: ever see Robert Splain goofing around in the locker room. He's
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: always like locked in getting ready for practice. He's joking
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: around with with Chase.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: Any any word on him, Why.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: No, But that's that's exactly what I was thinking. Freddie
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: seemed no worse for wear, doesn't seem sick.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: Nobody talked to him and asked him.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: Nobody asked him, Uh, at least when we're in there.
• 44:01
  Speaker 13: So, yeah, it's not the best media, you know, it was.
• 44:06
  Speaker 13: It was one hundred percent of the snaps in every game,
• 44:09
  Speaker 13: like half of the snaps, and no.
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: I mean it was.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: It is a little bit of a weird day of
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: guys like coming and going. And right as I was
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: walking out the I side Jalen Hawkins. So I was
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: about to go over and I wanted to see if
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: I could grab him, but he was in.
• 44:20
  Speaker 13: The group of when you going six or seven miles
• 44:23
  Speaker 13: an hour there.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: I was like, why did you try to kill that
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: guy with your head? So it is good stuff though,
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: good vibes in there. Just you could tell this is
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: the bye week and everybody's excited. It's like, I feel
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: like it's one of those things where when the schedule
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: comes out, you're like, oh my god, we don't have
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: a bye till them, but then when you get here,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: you're like, this is great.
• 44:42
  Speaker 12: The real the end of the season.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: By don't players they wanted like middle middle.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: I would think they would.
• 44:46
  Speaker 13: Want it right in the middle. Yeah, but I mean
• 44:49
  Speaker 13: only like one four teams can get it right in
• 44:53
  Speaker 13: the middle. I would rather have it now than like
• 44:55
  Speaker 13: week five.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: I was just you took the words that in mind,
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: I'd rather have it late than early. Yeah.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind the point I was trying to make.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: You know, you first see it, you're like, oh my god,
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: it's not till December. But when you get to December
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: and that's when you really need the rest, I'm sure
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: that you're you're selfishly.
• 45:09
  Speaker 13: I like it earlier because you can do something the
• 45:12
  Speaker 13: weather's conducive, you know, Like you know, I don't think
• 45:14
  Speaker 13: anybody's doing anything, by the way, it's like twinking of
• 45:17
  Speaker 13: doing something.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: So I came in a little late today because I
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: slept in a little late.
• 45:22
  Speaker 12: But and you have a long time.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: I was looking at our old friend big heads Andy
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Hart's rant on the social media about how he's paying
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: like six hundred dollars for Christmas.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: That's ridiculous. I just went and got a tree for
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: one hundred bucks down the street.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: What's he buying?
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Like I think they see him coming
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: and they know he's a big landowner, and so they overcharge.
• 45:45
  Speaker 13: Him afternoon drive money now and they know they can
• 45:47
  Speaker 13: take advantage of it.
• 45:48
  Speaker 12: They got a fish on the hook.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: But but like, I don't know what he's like. I
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: got like, you can't. I'm gonna go get the tree
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: this morning before they jack up the prices. And one
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: hundred bucks it's reasonable if nowadays.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Anything more than like a hundred bucks. If it was
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: two hundred bucks, were like, no, I don't think we're going.
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: We wouldn't have Christmas.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: He's a tree, a tree down in the woods somewhere.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there's a tree about to get a rest.
• 46:14
  Speaker 12: You just go to a place.
• 46:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah, go to a place that's already like you know,
• 46:17
  Speaker 13: so they put the net on keeping place right, so
• 46:21
  Speaker 13: like you're not a tree stop. I think Andy is
• 46:23
  Speaker 13: like one of those, like we go in the off
• 46:26
  Speaker 13: season and we mark a tree. Yeah, we pick it out.
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: He lifts his leg and peas on it.
• 46:31
  Speaker 12: This is his mind, yeah, marking it. I think he's
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: a bit of a tree snop.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: I think that's why he's paying six hundred dollars to
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: get walking around with his chainsaw.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: It's better be somehow of a tree, I know, a
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: real tree. Yeah, yeah, we still do. I kind of
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: floated the idea of fake tree. This is I'm a
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: costco guy now, so we have the costco they get
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: the fake trees, which aren't inexpensive. But I just that's
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: such a I looked.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: At those online at Bwesome Hill. I guess they had
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: the good one seven hundred bucks.
• 46:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but you can get him for a lot less
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: than that. But yeah, you can spend a lot of
• 46:59
  Speaker 13: money on a fair tree. Beth just found a great
• 47:03
  Speaker 13: deal on one.
• 47:03
  Speaker 12: So yeah, we got a new one.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: You got a guy.
• 47:06
  Speaker 12: Now we got we got to We'll have one for
• 47:07
  Speaker 12: upstairs and one for downstairs.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: You guys.
• 47:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we'll have one up for you.
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: Know, decorative purposes upstairs where everybody can see it, and
• 47:16
  Speaker 13: then we'll open the presidents downstairs.
• 47:17
  Speaker 12: There's more room to spread out.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Right now, I wouldn't be against it. I like the
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: smell though, of the trees.
• 47:21
  Speaker 12: See, that's why I hate real trees.
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: You don't like the smell.
• 47:25
  Speaker 12: Messing the smell, No, I don't like it.
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: I love the smell.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: That's the only reason why I wouldn't get a fake tree.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: Love the smell.
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: Just right into Like Jerry Seinfeld, It's like I love
• 47:38
  Speaker 12: the smell.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: Who doesn't love the smell?
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: I love the dree. Yeah, we're gonna have to deal
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: with that soon though. It's always a.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: So what what were we talking about before I interrupted?
• 47:49
  Speaker 12: Chicago?
• 47:50
  Speaker 13: I think Chicago was really good. I think they've gotten
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: a lot better. I don't think that they're worthy of
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: being the number one seed. I think the Patriots are
• 47:56
  Speaker 13: more worthy of being the number one seed in the
• 47:58
  Speaker 13: a f C than Chicago.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: Is an I was telling Paul Stephen a came out
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: with his personal power rankings today. Who do you think
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: he had his number one?
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: Kansas City?
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: No, not even closed. And guess who was number two?
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: Rams?
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: The Patriots? Really? Yeah?
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, yeah, I saw somebody say not a
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: bad guest though, Deuce. Now, but m where are they?
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: They lost, they lost. I don't know if you know
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: they're yeah, they're no more, no more, Matthew Stafford m
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: v P right, All right, back, thanks, anything else might
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: from the locker room. No, that's about it. Good, good
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: media contingent. Uh did not see Evan. I think he's
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: still working on getting ready for board, his big board thing.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: So big day for Evan it is? It is all right?
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Uh eight five five, pats five hundred. Let's get back
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: to it. DJs and Arizona. What's up? DJJ?
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up? Everyone?
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: What up?
• 48:51
  Speaker 16: I really do love this channel.
• 48:53
  Speaker 17: I've been tuning in for about two weeks now and
• 48:56
  Speaker 17: been tuning in every single day.
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: Y'all talk about the great stuff.
• 48:59
  Speaker 17: Now, I will go over two things really fast that
• 49:03
  Speaker 17: Fred mentioned last night. Now, Paul, please don't get mad
• 49:07
  Speaker 17: at me for what I'm about to say.
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: I make no promises, I know you don't, No, I
• 49:14
  Speaker 12: got you. What do you got?
• 49:16
  Speaker 16: I really do think.
• 49:17
  Speaker 17: Now this is just a thought, but I think Hawkins
• 49:20
  Speaker 17: was going for that ball. It was stupid of him, yes,
• 49:23
  Speaker 17: to go straight head forward the way he was going,
• 49:27
  Speaker 17: because when you look at his hands, they look like
• 49:30
  Speaker 17: they were going for that ball. Now, granted he did
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: make the foul, so it was not a good play
• 49:36
  Speaker 17: in the end, but his mind was in the right place.
• 49:40
  Speaker 17: If he would have gotten that interception what they have
• 49:42
  Speaker 17: called it a penalty, I don't know. The second thing
• 49:46
  Speaker 17: is really quick. I think this team has to win
• 49:50
  Speaker 17: it all this year because we have so much going
• 49:53
  Speaker 17: for us. All these quote unquote good teams of the past,
• 49:56
  Speaker 17: they're playing so bad. They're doing so many small things
• 49:59
  Speaker 17: that that they that normally would allow them to win.
• 50:02
  Speaker 17: That's not allowing that this year. I'm not saying in
• 50:05
  Speaker 17: the future we won't win again, but we can capitalize
• 50:08
  Speaker 17: now because we have so much in our favor NF
• 50:11
  Speaker 17: and AFC base yep, and I.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: Hope you have a blessed all right, thanks DJ.
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: I agree with that last part.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I hear what he's saying about. There's a huge
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: opportunity in front of the Patriots right now that you
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: want to take advantage of. But this whole fear about
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: if they don't do it this year, then there's no
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: I'm not going there. I don't know what's going to
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: happen next year. Maybe will be much better. Yes, the
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: schedule is going to be better, but maybe it will
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: be much better. I don't know. I'm just worried about
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: this year. I hear too much about it. If they
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: don't do it this year, they won't be able to
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: do it next year.
• 50:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah. I wouldn't say that.
• 50:47
  Speaker 13: I wouldn't say they won't be able to do it whenever.
• 50:49
  Speaker 13: But this is a you're never going to have a
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: better opportunity in this.
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: Absolutely focus on this year. Don't worry about.
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: Good teams are all in trouble except us.
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: We're a good team.
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: That's not going to happen every year.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Yep, Well I said I did to Paul on our
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: TV show. It's been kind of the big four in
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: the AFC quarterbacks, you know, Mahomes, Jel Lamar, Josh Allen,
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: Joe Burrow. You know, is there an opportunity out for
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Drake May to enter that conversation of you know, I
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: think any one of those quarterbacks you have a lot
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: of respect for. I know the Bengals are down this year,
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: but the Bengals were in the playoffs. He had to
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: face Joe Burrow it had something and be like, oh,
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: no problem. I mean, you know, but can Drake get
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: into that conversation this year? And the thing about is
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: the thing the Drake May? You got Drake May next year?
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, well, the thing about the big four in
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: terms of the quarterback, they've all either won it or
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: gone deep in the playoffs, you know, to the AFC
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: Championship game, and Drake hasn't done that yet. Ye once
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: he does that, okay, he.
• 51:42
  Speaker 13: Looks like Stroud And I do think May has entered
• 51:46
  Speaker 13: that conversation.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:47
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, And I had looked out like I mean, I
• 51:49
  Speaker 13: have Stroud firmly in that conversation I have for two
• 51:52
  Speaker 13: years now after the rookie year we had three years ago.
• 51:55
  Speaker 13: And I think that you looked at Houston this way,
• 51:57
  Speaker 13: looked like a different team, Like suddenly they're moving the
• 52:00
  Speaker 13: point I'm telling you go with that defense, They're a
• 52:03
  Speaker 13: team that you have to reckon with.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: They're playing good football both sides of the ball right now.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, them and them in Denver. When you just think
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: about potential matchups going, you know, Drake against their defenses,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: I mean both those defense Really.
• 52:16
  Speaker 13: I'm much more concerned about the team with a good
• 52:18
  Speaker 13: offense than I am with I'm not worried about Drake May.
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: I'm really not.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: And I'm not worried about Josh McDaniels when it comes
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: to Denver's defense. I think he's got enough in his
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: tool belt with May and you know Hunter, you know
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: the tight ends, and I think there's enough to deal
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: with Denver. Now. It's probably gonna be in Denver because
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: even if the Patriots have the higher.
• 52:40
  Speaker 12: Seed, that's a good point.
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're gonna have to deal with that.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: But well, you have the teams that the quarterbacks terrified.
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think beat a good defense.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, c J. Stroud, all due respect,
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: doesn't terrify me yet. But you know, you have a
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: couple of teams with really good defenses. You probably have
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: some other teams that have some quarterbacks Indianapolis maybe a
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: run game with Jonathan Taylor that you really have to
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: think about. We'll see what Daniel Jones looks like. But
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: you know, just getting a sense of the different matchups.
• 53:06
  Speaker 13: I just feel like it's offense based, and I know
• 53:09
  Speaker 13: that I'm in the minority in this, and I know
• 53:10
  Speaker 13: people are going to throw different teams at me, and
• 53:13
  Speaker 13: I would just counter back. You know, even last year
• 53:17
  Speaker 13: Philly in Kansas City, both teams brought elite defenses to
• 53:21
  Speaker 13: the Super Bowl. One offense played at an elite level
• 53:24
  Speaker 13: and won the game going away. I know everybody's talks
• 53:27
  Speaker 13: about just the dominance at the line of scrimmage, and yeah,
• 53:31
  Speaker 13: one offense played well, one offense didn't.
• 53:34
  Speaker 12: That's how you win.
• 53:35
  Speaker 13: And I have confidence that Drake May is not going
• 53:39
  Speaker 13: to get shut down by a good defense.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 53:42
  Speaker 13: Maybe I'm you know, maybe Fred's right, he hasn't done
• 53:45
  Speaker 13: it yet in the playoffs. Maybe I'm putting the cart
• 53:47
  Speaker 13: before the horse. I have a lot of confidence in
• 53:49
  Speaker 13: Drake May. I would much rather see a Denver defense
• 53:53
  Speaker 13: or a Houston defense than just the clicking on all
• 53:58
  Speaker 13: cylinders Patrick ma Homes Kansas City offense or of Josh
• 54:02
  Speaker 13: Allen Buffalo offense, like operating at extreme high level. And
• 54:08
  Speaker 13: now it's thirty eight thirty four. I don't want to
• 54:11
  Speaker 13: see that, but I'll take it if if you know
• 54:15
  Speaker 13: boat Nicks is playing and the Patriots only have to
• 54:17
  Speaker 13: get to twenty four. Yeah, I have all the confidence
• 54:20
  Speaker 13: in the world that Drake May is going to do that.
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: What's up, Todd?
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I just want to shoot a nasty rebuttal
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: to the guy up in Edmonton. He's just salty because
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: in the CFL, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, my team where I
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: grew up, won the Great Cup. And you know they
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: call in and complain about everybody from the gap.
• 54:41
  Speaker 18: That's just what they do.
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: Onto the game.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: What is the game?
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: I was a little bit nervous because, yeah, it's the
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: it's the province that is between Manitoba and Alberta. They
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: call us gappers. We fill the gap between the two
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: provinces of what we do. Like anyway, what I saw
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: was I saw Gunzalas a couple of times grab his
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: leg and I'm just curious, do you guys think that
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: he might still be dealing with some issues there because
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: he seems, I don't know, a step slower than normal.
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: He did a great hit, but I just I just yeah, if.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: Someone mentioned he got up a little slow after one play,
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: but I don't know.
• 55:22
  Speaker 13: I didn't really notice it, but it wouldn't surprise me
• 55:25
  Speaker 13: Todd if he would deal with the hamstrings. That's why
• 55:27
  Speaker 13: people hate those injuries so much, because they're really hard
• 55:30
  Speaker 13: to get rid of, especially for you know, skilled guys
• 55:34
  Speaker 13: that rely on their speed.
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: Now, thanks Todd, Let's go to Cole in Iowa. Hey, Cole, Hey, can.
• 55:43
  Speaker 19: You get your mirror?
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 55:45
  Speaker 19: Hey, I just want to start off saying thank you
• 55:48
  Speaker 19: guys for you know, staying up late last night with
• 55:51
  Speaker 19: the postgame show and then turn around and we get
• 55:53
  Speaker 19: a show again today. You guys are doing great work.
• 55:57
  Speaker 19: I hope you can take a little bit of time
• 55:59
  Speaker 19: this next week and bye. We can rest yourselves as
• 56:01
  Speaker 19: well and get ready for the postseason.
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: That's right, We've got to take care of ourselves too.
• 56:06
  Speaker 13: Mike and I were thinking about getting away together a
• 56:08
  Speaker 13: little bit, and we don't spend.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: Enough time to induce on vacation.
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, maybe a podcast.
• 56:20
  Speaker 19: Just the comments that I had was this, this team
• 56:24
  Speaker 19: just seems different, and I feel like we've seen it
• 56:27
  Speaker 19: now for quite a few weeks. All the guys are.
• 56:29
  Speaker 12: Just so tight.
• 56:30
  Speaker 19: They talk about it, how they're close with each other,
• 56:32
  Speaker 19: how this team fights for each other, and it has
• 56:37
  Speaker 19: to be Vrabel. Rabel's you know, thumb print on this
• 56:41
  Speaker 19: team is how much he's helped bond these players and
• 56:46
  Speaker 19: somehow he is a disciplinarian who is also like a
• 56:50
  Speaker 19: big brother to every single player on the team. I
• 56:52
  Speaker 19: think it's absolutely amazing and I am super thrilled. I
• 56:57
  Speaker 19: know that this team has probably one a few more
• 57:02
  Speaker 19: games than we expected at this point in the season,
• 57:06
  Speaker 19: but I think it's going to continue. And I think
• 57:10
  Speaker 19: they have to have the first round buy for one
• 57:13
  Speaker 19: reason and one reason only, and that's because the DVDs
• 57:17
  Speaker 19: are three games to glory, not.
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: For That's right. That's right, That's how it works. Thanks Carl,
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: appreciate the call. Let's go to Patty and Agoam. What's
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: up Patty?
• 57:30
  Speaker 16: Well, what's up, gents?
• 57:31
  Speaker 20: How are you doing this morning? I'm sorry this afternoon.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: Good? How are you Patty? You recovered from last night?
• 57:38
  Speaker 16: Yeah, well I didn't.
• 57:39
  Speaker 20: I'm not doing any drinking until Christmas Eve because I
• 57:41
  Speaker 20: need to lose a little.
• 57:42
  Speaker 21: Bit of weight.
• 57:44
  Speaker 20: I'm just a little bit, you know, a little bit
• 57:47
  Speaker 20: weary because I didn't get much sleep because I stayed
• 57:49
  Speaker 20: up and I fell asleep to the postseason show. But
• 57:52
  Speaker 20: just a quick question. Do you think one of the
• 57:54
  Speaker 20: things that Brabile took away from playing for Bill Belichick
• 57:59
  Speaker 20: is the season starts after Thanksgiving? And do you think
• 58:02
  Speaker 20: that he's related that to the players, because if he has,
• 58:05
  Speaker 20: I mean, I can't wait for the spreads front pick
• 58:08
  Speaker 20: it off. There, you guys thank everything.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, all cool coaches kind of say that Belichick
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: got it from Parcels, and Parcels got it from whoever
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 58:19
  Speaker 12: You know, going back to Cole's call.
• 58:22
  Speaker 13: In Iowa, I couldn't agree more about the credit that
• 58:26
  Speaker 13: ghost of Rabel for bonding this team. I've said this
• 58:29
  Speaker 13: a few times now, and it just becomes more and
• 58:32
  Speaker 13: more apparent just how connected they are as a team.
• 58:35
  Speaker 13: Every you know, Mike came in and they talked about
• 58:37
  Speaker 13: Chase on today in the locker room. It's the most
• 58:40
  Speaker 13: funny he's had on a team. It's most you know,
• 58:43
  Speaker 13: the community service work that they do that doing it together.
• 58:46
  Speaker 13: Rabel mentioned on his press conference today how excited everybody.
• 58:50
  Speaker 12: Is when someone else makes a play.
• 58:52
  Speaker 13: It's Kyle Williams catching a touchdown last night, and it's
• 58:55
  Speaker 13: the whole receiving core and the whole team being just
• 58:58
  Speaker 13: as excited as they would be if they are the
• 59:00
  Speaker 13: ones they caught the touchdown. I don't think all teams
• 59:03
  Speaker 13: are like that. Fred brought up a point about when
• 59:06
  Speaker 13: we were talking about the NFC thing with Chicago, Philadelphia
• 59:09
  Speaker 13: might be spiraling a little bit. Some of the problems
• 59:11
  Speaker 13: that Philadelphia has is related to that. Oh yeah, they're
• 59:14
  Speaker 13: not as connected as they they were, certainly in the
• 59:17
  Speaker 13: Stretch Driver and in the playoffs last year. And it
• 59:20
  Speaker 13: shows that's when the talent isn't necessarily getting, you know,
• 59:25
  Speaker 13: fulfilling its potential.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: Yep, it's what is Its just been the most interesting
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: see with Mike Freber. We knew him as a player,
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: and I loved him as a player, and he was
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: but he was a hard ass and a jerk to
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: play against. And I love that about him that he
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: just had this edge to him. And when he got here,
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: the way he talks about the players off the field,
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: the family members that the players value, and it's just
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to say surprising, because I
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: didn't really judge him, but you just think, like, oh,
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: he's kind of a hardcore football player. He's going to
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: come in as a coach and kind of be a
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: little bit more on the parcels end of the you know,
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: don't want to cross him, and he's got a sharp tongue.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: And but the side of him that he's shown of
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: caring about his players as people. I think that to
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: me has just been something that right from the get go,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: when he got here talking about his parents being teachers
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: and that educator part of him that just comes through.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: I just that that, to me has been completely unexpected.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: I really like the tough guy that he is and that,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: but we didn't.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: See that part of him when he was here. We
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: saw that the smart ass, the tough guy, the guy
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: that would get under your skin, always needling and everything
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: like that. But we didn't see, you know, let's face it,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: the softer side to him, the caring about, you know,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: your brother side of him. And you know, one of
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: the things he said here when he first came is
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: not only get to know each other, and you get
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: to know everybody in the building because they're all here
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: to help you. And he made that point like on
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: day one, and it's I don't know, maybe all coaches
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: You don't hear it though, No, Well, it feels real
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: to me with him like it never felt forced. I
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: mean he talks about carry about the players, or even
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: when he talks about real football, like when he gets
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: into what he knows, like you could just tell he's
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: very comfortable with it. And I just I don't find
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: it surprising that football players respect him because he did
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: it as a player, and he's a tough guy, and
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: he's got a sharp tongue and you know, he's funny
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: and he can get you laughing. But at the same time,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: I think everybody acknowledges that he seems to really care
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: about these guys.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: All Right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back,
• 1:01:26

• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: I are you great?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: How much did you and the team just kind of
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: feed off the energy? You guys came out with a
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: lot of energy too.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: Well where did that come from?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: And what was that like? To watch all three phases
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 5: kind of take it to them from the start.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 9: Think it's start with coach saying, no naps, you don't
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 9: want to come my airp and star fast. And we
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: know this team has been up in a lot of
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 9: games and they have good players over there, they have
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 9: some good talent and we wanted to try to get
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 9: on fast. And you know Marcus helped us with that.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: You know, what a what a what a return for him?
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: And you have the kickoff return, I mean kickoff coverage.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: I mean, I think just all phases of the game
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 9: showed up at different points. And I still think offensively
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: in the second half, we got to put some more
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 9: drives together to he'll put the game out of reach.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 5: Great Drake.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 13: Coach Rabel just said that you're realizing what you can
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 13: be and the impact that you make on the offense.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 12: What is that to you?
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 9: Shoot just trying to be trying to be the face,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: trying to be the conductor, he followed, the conductor of
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: the offense. You're trying to be the face of the offense,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: trying to you'll want to want the want the pressure,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: you want to you know, the ball in my hands,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: and I've he'll try to show that all year and
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 9: and throughout my career. So that's what you know, I
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 9: kind of feel like and I know they feed off
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: of me and feed off my energy and feed off
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 9: of you know, what I say to those guys, and
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: what I say you'll mean something to them. So just uh,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 9: you'll know me when aversity hits, you know, I got
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: to respond and from there, I just got to be,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 9: you know, the same guy, the same guy every day.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: You know, don't try to change and just be my elf,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: that's what the guys you like the most.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 25: So ert solo, I was just gonna stay on coach Rabel.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 12: You hear those MVP chants a lot, whether you hear
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 12: them or not, they're there.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: Do you think he's mounting maybe a campaign.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 25: For Coach of the year.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he also promised to shave the mustache.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 12: Are you happy or said about it exactly?
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: I thought it was good.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 9: I think it was for a great cause. I think
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 9: he uh man, I think you know the awards the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 9: probably say the same thing. He's worried about each and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: every week, and that stuff will come. But you know,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: he's got my vote, and he's got a lot of
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: people's vote. He's everybody's vote. You know this organization, and
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 9: you know in that locker room and I'm sure across
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: the league.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 26: Por uh your coach reference, they hit the other quarterback
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 26: got and playing through the whistle, and he intimated that
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 26: that that might have been a subtle reminder to you
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 26: on certain plays on being careful about being taken down hard. Uh. So,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 26: I guess two quick questions, Uh, did that resonate with
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 26: you in any fashion? And was there any winking or
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 26: right contact from your coach after that play.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 9: I think it's uh, you know something that that's been
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 9: across the league that showed up with with quarterbacks near
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: the boundary or near the sideline, just kind of relaxing
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 9: and and uh, I think I learned last year the Chargers,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 9: I had one of the same sideline over there.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 12: I got smacked on the sideline.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 9: So just be smart and know you almost got to
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: accelerate or get down or you know, do something over there.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 9: But I think you know, Jackson h makes some good
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: plays at his feet, so he's tough to he's tough
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 9: to handle.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 26: Your coach didn't look at you and give you one
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 26: of these or anything like that.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think you needed I don't think you
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 9: need to.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: You heard the hit sideline, so I think everybody in
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 12: the stadium knew.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Andrew Callahan on the left, Hey Drake, Uh, excuse me.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: Just as far as tonight, you know what went as
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: planned and what might have surprised you if anything, I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: think starting fast.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: I think starting fast when is planned, that's what we
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 9: wanted to do. I think, uh, you have some play
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 9: designs that that coach had and uh, we practiced all
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 9: week that that worked and you know, I think that
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 9: that's the biggest thing is that you knew they had
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 9: the new coordinator calling it for the first time, so
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: they're gon bring something, some stuff that we didn't expect.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 9: And I think we tried to handle the guys up front.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 9: They got a great rush, great players up front. I
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 9: thought the guys did that all night. The one sact
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 9: we had was my fault, and I think from there,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 9: I think this coach saying no naps, I think we
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 9: need to do a better job and second half of uh,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 9: you know, living that and you'll put them out of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 9: reach and getting in across midfield and putting the drive together.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 12: Score touchdown.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: Hey, Drake, backups today left tackle and left guard.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 26: What was the key for you guys on offense to
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 26: kind of minimize that impact?
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: I guess to full faith them.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 9: You know, we got a lot of reps last year
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 9: of dropping back and you'll trust those guys. And I
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 9: think they're great players and they've stepped up. Like I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 9: said in pre game, I think they stepped up all year.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 9: You know, anybody's been thrown in the fire, and.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Just proud of them.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 9: Proud of them for you working hard and learning this offense.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 9: And you know, staying on the same page and be
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 9: on the same page all night and doing a great
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 9: job tonight.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 27: Well seagull Drake sort of a two prime question. How
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 27: cognizant were you guys of the buy and wanting to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 27: win going into the buy and can they How much
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 27: of a need is this game in need of this
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 27: buy for both the physical and mental standpoint.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you'll want to win before the bye
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 9: You're trying to you know, want to win every game,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 9: and I know it's uh maybe you know, kind of
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 9: don't want to leave off on the buy on the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: back foot with a whole Monday night game. So I
• 1:08:17

• 1:08:19
  Speaker 9: Monday night and you know, shove up for for our fans,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 9: and you know, it was a game that we didn't
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 9: want to take lightly, and I think the guys did
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: Dad probably those guys for that. And then, uh, you know,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 9: bye week's huge. It felt like a long time coming,
• 1:08:29

  Speaker 9: this locker room issoriation that that play, you know, a
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: big role in us winning games and should just like you,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: you know, showing up every day and making funny off
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 9: of being in the locker room on a Friday asking
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 9: us questions at the practice. You know, these guys are
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 9: the same thing. They show up every day, and you
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: know they want to get better. And I think it
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 9: was proud of the guys from this team we have
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 9: and I love being around them.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Your five question, Yeah.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 9: Drake, they score to make a two possession game, so
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: it was already discussion going into your final drive just
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 9: to ice the game. Yeah, it was, Uh, it was big.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 9: You know, it was big in the in the second half.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 9: You knew that they got a you know, a good
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 9: offense and you can move the ball. So we had
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 9: to put a growd together and put one down at
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: the end of your field goal. And like I said,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: we won't be satisfied with that. You got to try
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: to punch it in. You'll get the game really out
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: of reach. But you know, defense has been made big
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: stops in the fourth quarter all year long.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: And you're just proud of these guys.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 9: And like I said, and you know, good Lord is
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 9: uh the tree is right and we got to keep going.
• 1:10:27

• 1:10:39
  Speaker 29: and you know, get your whole Brady right touchdown you know,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 29: fourth quarter you're up like fourteen or saying that touchdown, touchdown,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 29: like ah no, like here.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: And that's what he's done to so many teams.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 29: And you understand how maddening it is when you think
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 29: you got them the whole game and then all of
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 29: a sudden, it just clicks and it's like, oh, they
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 29: just want berserker mode and you can't stop them.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 12: This cracks me up. I just don't want to have
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 12: a lead and have him break my heart.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: I don't want I don't want to go through another
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 5: twelve season.

  Speaker 5: All right, okay, yeah Doorbusters, what are your friends? No,

  Speaker 5: I mean, I certainly didn't go anywhere, but I did
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: a little online stuff.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 12: I got a couple of little things.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, find the deals usually kind of hold up, Like,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I haven't seen a lot of just
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: for Friday. It seems like, like you said, like now
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: it's like Cyber Week, and you know it kind of
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: drags on beyond this with you. Well, I don't feel
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: the same pressure.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: I tell you it's always happened, but it's getting worse
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: than ever. Is these stores jacking up the price only
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 5: to put it on sale at what it should be
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 5: or a little bit more than what it should be.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: I won't name the store, but I caught them red handed.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I saw a video of somebody catching them
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: red handed. Like the TV. There's like a TV with
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: a over it.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: They had to stick upon that you no, no, no,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 5: I know. This is when I personally saw you know scam.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 5: It was a clothing store, so anyway. But I think
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: that's CRAPCMA.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it's all generally crap, which sounds like, uh,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: somebody pointed out the coffee thing to me. Now, like
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: the coffee cups, if you stick your finger under the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: coffee cup, it goes up a lot farther now, like
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: you're just you're getting like the chicken breasts. Used to
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: get three chicken breasts in a pack, now it's two.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: Like I just feel like you're getting less for more now.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and you go to buy little things like that,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: that's how they're getting I mean, I know, I saw
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: the numbers from last week where yeah, spent more spending,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: but people are getting less stuff. So it just feels
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: to me like across the board right now that everything
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: you're getting.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: Less for more everywhere getting screwed.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah it's a pizza time, they give you more.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, Back to the phone, S eight five
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 5: to five PATS five hundred is the hot line. Let's
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 5: go to Chris with a T, I A N. What's
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 5: up Christian?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 14: Hey guys, this is just incredible. I mean, you know,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 14: and and I think the biggest thing for me when
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 14: I when I look at the team, whether it's free
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 14: agents or draft picks. Almost everybody that they have acquired
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 14: is contributing and making a play one week or the
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 14: next week. And I you know, and I know that
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 14: you get that year um bump as all Paul always
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 14: says from the free agent signings and that it's really
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 14: like year two or year three where a lot of
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 14: the guys kind of fall off. But in addition to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 14: just everybody buying into the program, which they clearly have,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 14: it's so much fun to watch this team every week
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 14: because I'm waiting for like another guy to make a play,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 14: Like Kyle Williams has done more with two touchdown catches
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 14: than like all the high receivers of Patriots were drafted
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 14: in like the past decade and just two plays. And
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 14: so it's just so exciting. And I think whanted to
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 14: get your thoughts on this. Is this the most team
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 14: speed that the Patriots have had in a long time,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 14: because it seems like they got a bunch of guys
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 14: that can fly. And I'll take it off there, Okay.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 5: Thanks, team speed both sides of the ball.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 14: I do.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 13: I do think they have increased their team speed significantly.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 13: It kind of reminds me of what they tried to
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 13: do in that draft class that they just hit on
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 13: any of them.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 12: But they you know, the.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 13: Taekwon, Thornton, Pierre Strong, you know that a lot of
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 13: fast guys in that draft. They just didn't hit on
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 13: any of them. This team is Christian's right, This is team.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 13: This team is significantly faster.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Yea.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: It shows up to me on defense, just more attacking style.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: And they just even if they're not faster, they look
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: faster because they're not doing as much too gapping and
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 4: that kind of thing. But just the linebackers on the
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: second level with Spallane and Elis and you know even Gibbons,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: like those guys, they really rally to the ball. I
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: think that that's to me where I see them the
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: most speed difference. But offensively I didn't. Offensively is a different.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 13: I think the guys you know, like you know, Diggs
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 13: is so quick, Yeah, Kyle Williams obviously is fast. Pop
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 13: Douglas is so quick, you know, And those guys have
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 13: been the the ones that have been standing out to me,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 13: you know, after the catch that you know that they're
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 13: making you Travon, yeah Henderson as they probably Yeah, they've
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 13: increased the team speed no doubt, it's good observation from
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 13: Christian just.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: The quick strike downfield. I mean, whether it's Henderson with
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: the big plays that he's had a few times, or
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: as we can't stop talking about Drake's uncanny ability to
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: throw the ball down the field and just how much
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: that completely changes the dynamic of the offense. It's just
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: not something that you could have really predicted, but it's
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: really offset a lot of their issues I think that
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: they've had, and I just the level of confidence that
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: Drake plays would throw in those deep balls. It's it's unbelievable.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: I just I've never seen anything quite like it.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: Darius from Louisville says he was doing some research and
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 5: was wondering if we all knew that we've been to
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: a Super Bowl once every decade since the seventies, so
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 5: according to the universe, we should make a Super Bowl
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: within the next four years. Well, we weren't in the seventies,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 12: Eighties nine, these two thousand, in the.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: Then right pretty much every other year twenty years. But
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: he's right, I've thought about that, you know, in that
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: the Patriots have made some playoff runs in each decade
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: and he gets kind of overshadowed by the success of
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: two thousand and one to two thousand and you know,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: eighteen nineteen. But they have, they've they've made some Super
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: Bowl runs. They were kind of due. I mean this
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: this even getting to this year. When Vrabel came here,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: I was like, this is year five of this decade.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: Is this going to be a lost decade in terms of,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: you know, playoffs? Because even those bad Patriots seems that
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: bottomed down and around nineteen ninety ninety one they still
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: on the other side of that had some success.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: Yep, here we go, Here we go, Bear's Patriots forty
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 5: years that'd be crazy. Let's go to Caesar in Brazil.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: What's up? Caesar? Caesar in Brazil? All right, well, Abracado.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 5: Eldred's in North Carolina. What's up? Eldred?
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 12: I have a feeling.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 18: I know, hey, fell how y'all doing?
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 16: Hey?
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 8: Man?
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 18: I am shocked, ye I floor. My ceiling was six wins.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: And I mean takes a big man to admit that, Elder,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: because everybody's taking victory laughs right now.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 12: Yeah, a lot of our callers are taking victory.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I guess they are.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 17: Paul y'all cracked me up last night.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 18: But I couldn't get on the phone because this morning. Uh, Fred,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 18: Yeah right, I got disagree with you because I used
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 18: to play deep in the back. That shouldn't have been called.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 12: Wow ho for the ball.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 18: But but but you're, like I said, you're like somebody
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 18: tackling and how they try to go down and load
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 18: the tackle, but the guy slips all sliding down, the
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 18: ye receiver sliding down, just how his head bumped him.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 18: That he was going for the ball shouldn't have been called.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying it shouldn't have been called, but I'm
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: just saying that he was going for the ball and
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 5: was following.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 13: Just running with your palms up, and you're absolved of
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 13: all responsibilities for a headshot.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: I didn't say it shouldn't have been I didn't say
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 5: you said.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 18: That, No, Fred, Paul, I said it because, like I said, Paul,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 18: long gravity, when you're coming down, he's coming down to
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 18: He admitted.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, if the defensive bat was going up.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 18: Jump, I know what I'm saying.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 12: Head first wasn't.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 16: Okay, you was growing up.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 18: The guy was coming down the jump women at the
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 18: same time, it never would have been called okay grand
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 18: mother than that. I'm gonna ride there and I'm like
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 18: everybody else, man, if they look up and go further
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 18: than with Washington did last year, I got my cigar
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 18: and I'm talking trash again. But y'all have a good one.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 17: Love talking to you.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 5: All right, Thank you, Alfred.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 13: For sure we were gonna get an a d Mitchell's
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 13: So so far, is this more remarkable or the same
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 13: or less than what the Commanders did last year? I
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 13: think it's the same the same. It's it's exactly what
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 13: Washington did last year. Yeah, I mean, like out of nowhere,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 13: like four win team, same thing. The only difference is
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 13: Daniels was a rookie quarterback and May is in his
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 13: second year.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 13: So if you want to call there, you know, Washington
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 13: more impressive, I wouldn't.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 12: I think they're the same.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But to me, what divine that season was. They're
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 4: running the playoffs too, you know.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's why I set up to now, Yeah,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: because obviously they got deep into the playoffs.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's something to learn from that too.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: Of you know, leaned on some free agents, had good
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: injury luck, and you know, you just like what I like, and.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 12: I is you don't have to have a soft schedule.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but you have to know you're gonna
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: have to be better next year. But I at least
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: feel really good about the program the Mike Rabel's put
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: in place, and that they have the pieces here now
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: you don't have to worry about establishing the culture. You
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: hope that with all the pieces they have that you're
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: gonna be able to carry that back and you're able
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: to take some talented guys now hopefully some talented rookies
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: and welcome them into the fold and you know, continue
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: to build.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: But they built the foundation. They got the coach and
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 5: the quarter quarterback.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: Quarterback, you know, I mean, Jade Dale has been hurt
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: this year, you know, so you know that that can
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: happen too. But yeah, they got to be ready for.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 5: Kyle and Pembroke. Last night was really fun, especially seeing
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: how upset the Giants tight end kept getting. Was that
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: what was going on there?
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 13: I don't know that he was the one that came
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 13: over and took exception to the LS hit. I didn't
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 13: really notice him being upset any other after other than
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 13: that himself for dropping touchdowns which I saw that when
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 13: he punched the ground after he dropped the touchdown that
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 13: would have made it seventeenth.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: Mikey the not great guy.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 12: I was all over.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 13: Mic and go, yeah, this is the guy that you
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 13: said we should be worried about.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 5: Now that we're at the bye Who is your current
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: Patriots and he's got a couple of questions. Offensive player
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: of the year, who's not may.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: Shoot Hunter Henry.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 12: I would go Hunter Henry.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, probably Henry.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 12: That's a good pick.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: Daily solid.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, although Booty, you know, like big plays. Who
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: is your defensive player of the year for the Patriots.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: I mean I might have said Milton Williams honestly, yeah,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: before he got hurt.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 13: I would probably stay with Milton Williams.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 12: I don't know, maybe Splaine and.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: I was thinkings Splain too just I mean he kind
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: of saw these like really good run defense, every down
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: kind of guy.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: But and then Rookie of the Year.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 12: Probably Campbell.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 13: I don't really like I think that they've had They've
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 13: gotten contributions from from all the rookies. I don't think
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 13: anyone's really stood out. I would say Campbell's probably been
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 13: the best.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: I want to know what the coaches staff say, Like
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 4: what do they really think of Woodston? Like how you
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: know he's just one of those guys that he don't
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: really acknowledge. Yeah, he doesn't you know he's out there
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: or a player who's Yeah.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 5: So assuming that Campbell misses this stretch, and I would
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 5: say that if I had to pick a rookie of
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 5: the year, I'd pick Henderson only because like, they're down,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 5: they were down to two backs and for a couple
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 5: of weeks he was the only real viable back they had.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 5: And like he hasn't blown up the place, but he's
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: been okay, he's got he's held down the fort at
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: the running back position.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, how would you stack the rookie how would
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 4: you stack them up compared to other rookie running backs
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: you've seen come through here over the last twenty years.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 13: I mean it's like, oh, that's hard because Bill never
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 13: let the rookies do anything right. You know, like Port
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 13: Verashwan's Romander Stevenson fumbled in his first game and we
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 13: didn't se him until the middle of October.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, like Ridley right, same thing.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 13: You know, It just I don't know, it's hard to
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 13: compare them to any other, and then a.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: Lot of rookies that came in kind of got red
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: shirt and Sony were here before them that were better.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 13: Soorny Michelle had had a pretty decent rookie year. Yeah,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 13: a lot more opportunities than Henderson had in terms of Tari's.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: But I don't know, would you say, I mean Travon Henderson,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: I mean to the point of that you were making.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: But James White, you know, like James White, great player,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 4: didn't really play much as his rookie year was Bill
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: was young players. Yeah, yeah, interesting.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: He did the same thing to Faren Yeah, Verene red
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 12: shirted too.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I I would like, I said, assuming Campbell's
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 5: gonna miss these games, I would pick Henderson.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think all these guys have have made contributions.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: You know, I think any one of them is valid.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 12: Let's say again, I don't know what's going to happen.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 5: What about Bora Gallis going from the thirties set the
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 5: franchise record for a rookie. You found that crazy.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: I found that crazy. He's like, but you know when
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: he was two thousand and six and then I was like.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 13: I found the prototypical kickers to have a lot of points.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: I had to do some math because it was like, no,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: that was those six and they were kind of bad
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: that year offensively, but then on the next year. I mean,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the point total was the next year,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: but I'm sure Goskowski like probably led the league in
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: O seven with all the extra points he was kicking.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: So I just thought it was interesting. Didn't really occur
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: to me that he had been kicking that many field goals.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 5: But yeah, Mike's in Florida. Hey, Mike.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 21: New Fellows, thanks for taking my call.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 5: Sure, Mike.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 7: So I'm going to preface everything I say with the
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 7: fact that I'm very excited about what Rabel's been doing
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 7: and the energy he's created and how he's gotten everybody
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 7: to buy in.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 16: But I do have a concern.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but are we getting too excited over a win
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 7: over a two to ten team at home?
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 17: Like the Giants didn't.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 7: Have Thibodeau abdu Carter was sat out the first quarter
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 7: for god knows what a reason. There was a coach
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 7: OF's decision.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 21: They said.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 7: Don't get me wrong, but sometimes I feel like we
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 7: read into these wins over bad teams more than they're
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: really worth. Does that resonate with you guys?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 21: Do you kind of agree?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 8: Disagree?
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 7: And I'll take it off the air, thanks Pellas.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, Yeah, I get what you're saying.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I feel like for me, and I
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: think I said it last night on the postgame show.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: For me, it's about the body of work. It's not
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: about Oh, I'm so excited about the win over the Giants.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, I do think the energy they came out
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 4: with last night was really good, and that to me
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: was encouraging that you know that they have another gear
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: to get back to. But for me, really the good
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 4: vibes right now are just taking time to reflect upon
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: a ten game win streak and an eleven and two
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: Stars of the season with you know, whatever you want
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: to accomplish, it's now within your grasp. You want that
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: number one overall seed, it's within your grass. You want
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: that AFC East Division title. It is well within your grasps.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 4: So but I get what he's saying. I mean, you know,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: it's you'd love to beat in the Chiefs and the Bills,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: and you'd love to you know, the.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 13: Reason I was impressed with that win last night is
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 13: because they've played steady stream of those kinds of teams
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 13: and they don't always make those teams look like that.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 13: This was, like, I think I used the word outlier
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 13: last night. That's what impressed me was first of all,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 13: it's the first game of the year that they completely
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 13: just took total control of right from the outset of
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 13: the game. Seventeen to nothing in the first quarter of
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 13: the game's over.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 13: The other the two to ten team is now forced
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 13: to come from three scores down in the last three
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 13: quarters of the game on the road. Not going to happen,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 13: you know, So you very comfortably won a game, yes,
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 13: against an inferior opponent. He's right, But like they played
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 13: an inferior opponent the previous week and they had to
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 13: sweat out the last drive. They played a previous opponent
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 13: in New Orleans that is terrible, terrible, and they had
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 13: to sweat out the last drive. So these things, you know,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 13: they don't always go the way they did last night,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 13: and they went that way because the Patriots were ready
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 13: to go at the start of the game, and they
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 13: they were all three phases they were, they were locked in.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 13: That's to me that that was the big takeaway more
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 13: so than well, why are you puffing your chest about
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 13: beating the Giants. I'm puffing my chest by the way
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 13: the Patriots played.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 5: And like remember the joy about playing and celebrate wins
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 5: and like have fun. This is a this is a
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 5: game you're playing.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 13: Most of the games this year have been one score games.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 13: Last night wasn't.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Do I remember you guys talking about Teddy Bruski
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: and O seven time about the like the weight of
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: the wind streak. He talked about it afterwards, for sure. Yeah,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just I feel like they're avoiding that
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: right now. It's just that doesn't seem like the weight
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: of a win streak is on them.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 13: They avoided it in O seven too. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 13: Fred's right, that was a topic after the loss. Yeah,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 13: but I do think that that pressure mounts. I don't
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 13: feel that right now. I don't feel I think I
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 13: think this is one of those house money kind of deals.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 13: Like no one expected us to be here. Everybody expected
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 13: the seven Patriots to be really good. Now, I don't
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 13: know how many people thought they were going to be
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 13: undefeated except for Santos, right, who told us that in
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 13: the at the Super Bowl.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 12: That he knew.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 13: I saw them, but everybody knew the Patriots were a
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 13: really good team that sort of reset and restocked and
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 13: reloaded and they were going to be, you know, a
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 13: super Bowl contender heading into the seven season.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 12: No one thought that about this team.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Joe writes s and Fred, you were dead wrong.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 5: On the postgame show, Ellis could have easily nudged dart
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 5: out didn't end up happening. But why were we tempting
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 5: a team with nothing to lose in a better pass
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 5: rush to go after your guy?
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah? I don't.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 13: I don't know if you can play that way like
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 13: I don't. I'm not going to hit him because they
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 13: might hit my guy. I don't know if you can
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 13: play like now.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 5: You can't.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 13: I just was trying to make the point, and again,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 13: it wasn't. It was not a penalty, And I I
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 13: kind of think that for as poor as the officiating
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 13: has been all season in a variety of games, I
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 13: think they've done a better job of not calling those
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 13: on the sideline when the quarterback is trying to get
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 13: extra year they've said, yeah, okay, you want to hit
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 13: that at one or two extra yards, you're going to
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 13: subject yourself to a hit that we used to call
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 13: a penalty. They haven't called them a lot this year.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 13: May took one of those in one of the games
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 13: this year and didn't get the penalty, and he was
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 13: in bounce yep.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 5: Sebastian from New Jersey Exit one, p. Fifty three in
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 5: the Parkway last night was, in my opinion, the best
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 5: game from all three phases. I agree, but I feel
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 5: we took the foot off the gas in the second half.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 5: I think we could have maybe should have put up
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 5: forty plus. I'm still waiting to see a complete sixty
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 5: minute game. On the injuries to Spallaine and Gonzo, I
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 5: believe they were more booboos than injuries. There was a
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: run up the middle where the running back got tackled
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: by another defender and they both kind of landed at
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: Splaine's feet. Maybe they hit his shins with their helmets.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: And then on the giants first touchdown, the wide receiver
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: broke through and both Gonzo and Davis were running with
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 5: him into the end zone. Gonzo slipped feet first when
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: the wide receiver rolled in underneath him. Looks like he
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: landed hard on his posterior, getting him a Cox's pad.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 13: And Zalas played every play, you know whatever. You know,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 13: maybe he was, you know, limping or whatever, but.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: He was in the locker.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 12: He was not banged today walking around didn't see Yeah.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 13: To Mike's point, Splaine only played, you know, a little
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 13: little less than seventy percent of the place, sixty nine
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 13: percent of the place.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean Bradberry was in the locker room
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 4: today too, which I just found interesting. Pop up day
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: of a game with the illness and then you are
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: still here. So maybe it wasn't anything major, but I.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 13: Still not the last day they gotta it's their only
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 13: day of work.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: And I don't know. It just something that stood out
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: to me. And maybe, you know, maybe maybe Splain was sickness,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: but maybe he just maybe it was kind of rotation
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: a little bit. I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Ralph and Haiti. What's up?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 4: Ralph is back, y'all.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 16: Listen. I got a couple of points, you know, because
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 16: my I don't know how how much how much how
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 16: much what's the name? I got left with this with
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 16: this phone and stuff like that. But last night I
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 16: want to tell all these Pats fans stop acting like
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 16: we are the two thousand and seven Patriots. We are
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 16: the two thousand and one Patriots, where every winner is
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 16: a brand new thing for us, and we didn't know
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 16: if we was gonna make the super Bowl. To enjoy
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 16: the wild ride, you understand one. Enjoy you know what
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 16: I'm saying.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 5: I got a.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 16: Defense that's laid in the wood, that's making sure that
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 16: they tackle right, they're not missing tackles. Enjoy it. You know, Fred,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 16: you was right about that. You know, Paul stopped playing
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 16: Devil's advocate. I get it, you gotta play the other guy.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 16: But you know, let let my bag Al get some love,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 16: let him get some love.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 12: I'm totally with Fred on Alis.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 13: I thought that was a great addition to the good
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 13: list last night, right right out of the shoot when
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 13: Fred came in, I co signed strongly on LS being
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 13: on that list.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 12: He had an excellent game.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we were arguing about the Jalen Hawkins here, not Ellis.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 16: Yeah, the jailor Hopkins. And I think he was trying
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 16: to get the interception. I think he was trying to
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 16: play it to the drill.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 12: I don't really care what he was trying to do.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: I'm just talking about what he did I.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 5: Know, but Paul, people were saying, it's such a stupid.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 12: Play, kind of was reckless.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 5: No, it was not. I don't want to get it.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 16: When you're coming from but at the end of the day,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 16: I don't enjoy it anyway. You know what I'm saying, Boom,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 16: I gotta get off the air because but all my
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 16: teams in red, white and brew. I went in the Patriots.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 5: You tell him, Ralph, he just made the World Cup.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 16: We are we on fire.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 5: That's right. You tell him Ralph and call again, Paul.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 5: You should listen to Ralph. Just take some joy in life.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 4: Go down to Haiti.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 5: You know, I just don't understand some.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 13: Joy that doesn't take any of the joy away from
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 13: anything that happened last night.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 12: To me, like that, not every single.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 5: Play saying, you know, make lemonade out of lemons, Paul
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 5: makes vinegar out of lemons. I just I don't know
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 5: how how does he do that?
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 13: I just had the previous caller who's lamenting the second half.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 13: I strongly push back on that. Patriots played an excellent
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 13: second half. When you have a thirty to seven lead
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 13: at the half, that was an excellent second half. Shorten
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 13: the game get out. We have this game won. We
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 13: don't need to score forty points. That's you want to
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 13: talk about taking the joy out of it. That's what
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 13: the seven Patriots would have done. They would have been concerned.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 5: I loved it.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 12: They would have been concerned with nonsense that doesn't help
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 12: you in the lite.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 5: I loved every minute of it.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 13: That team last night was more focused on the here
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 13: and now. We did what we needed to do tonight.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 13: Let's let's move on to the next one and get
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 13: ready to do what we need to do in the
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 13: next one.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: I love to hear the lamentations, right Conan Tawwinder, remember
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 5: Talwinder from the Bay Area? Yah, yeah, it emailed in
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 5: a while. I don't think we all we got we
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 5: all we needed, says. I've emailed you guys a few
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 5: weeks ago predicted we will go fourteen and three and
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: get the number one seed. I still stand by my prediction.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 5: We're gonna be Buffalo Baltimore and the Jets. Then we
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 5: might lose the last game to the Dolphins because number
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 5: one seed will be all locked up. A few other
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 5: predictions Chiefs won't make the playoffs. I'm not worried about
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 5: the Ravens. Buffalo will lose in the playoffs at Denver.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 5: We will host Denver for the AFC Championship on January
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 5: twenty fifth at three pm.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 4: Oh my lord, there you go, tell you guys, and
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: you're looking to god. I always want to go to
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: a conference championship. They got that number one seed in there.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: One game away that would be it would be tense.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 5: Um spiing Fresno. Always seem the bye was mid season
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 5: during the Dynasty years, teams get to voice a preference
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 5: for where they're by falls right. I don't think they do.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 5: I think it depends on not no, because you're asking
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 5: that's changed, Yeah, I mean you're asking for other things. Hey,
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 5: we can't do this weekend because it and then it
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 5: just okay, well now you're gonna have to have you
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 5: buy here.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 13: There is a possibility, like Belichick used to bitch about it.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 13: That's why I say, you don't get a chance, but
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 13: there's a chance that you know, let's face it, he's
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 13: disingenuous for a reason. He maybe was not being completely
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 13: fourthright with that, but he used to bitch.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 12: About not being able to control that. Yeah, because remember
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 12: in the year well.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 5: Then everybody would ask for the perfect placement.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 12: You can't do the year the year that they had
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 12: one really early.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 13: He was particularly salty about, Oh yeah, it's like a
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 13: week four by or a Week five by or a
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 13: late one.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 5: You just got to play him like they fall. Dying
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: Spee says, I always had some trepidation coming out of
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 5: the by, which reminds me not that I'm keeping receipts.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 5: But no one ever called out Paul in twenty sixteen
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 5: for incorrectly predicting that the Seattle game after the Week
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 5: nine bye was going to be a blowout Patriots win.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 5: He guaranteed to win. Paul, do you remember the score?
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 5: Seattle won thirty one twenty four Brady passing yards three sixteen.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 5: Top receiver of that game Marty Bennett with one hundred
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 5: and two. I didn't let you.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 4: I would have called you, apul, but I wasn't here.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 12: Now I'm getting ripped.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: Do you remember that prediction?
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 12: Sorry?
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: Do you remember that?
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 12: No? I remember the game?
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 13: That was a Gronk got hit in the end zone
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 13: kind of it was like Dragos, like, oh the champions
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 13: hurt like he got.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: Was that one? Thomas a little more?
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, And Kansas. I mean Pete Carroll had had
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 13: a faux pas in that game where he, I believe
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 13: when they scored a touchdown to go up thirty one
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 13: to twenty four, he went for two instead of instead
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 13: of just kicking it to make it an eight point game,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 13: he went for two and didn't get it.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: I think he wanted to know what he needed.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 13: And I think Bill looked at It's like, do I
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 13: have the score wrong? Like Bill was kind of confused
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 13: by it, and that allowed the Patriots a chance, and
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 13: at the end of the game they got stopped inside
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 13: like inside the five at the end of the game.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, did you did you clock? In Rabel's press conference,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: it seemed like he knew exactly what the record was
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: for teams this year coming out of the.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 12: By sixteen and twelve.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: Sixteen and twelve?
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: Is that? Is that a reminder of like, hey.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 13: You're not guaranteed to win coming out of the bye
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 13: I don't know.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's not a great number. It would have
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: been better if it was five hundred or belore.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 13: I also like all of those like did teams ever
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 13: face each other, both of them coming out of the buy?
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 5: Good question.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 13: I don't know, like that's twenty eight, right, it's twenty
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 13: eight at the thirty two, So the other four had
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 13: the buy this week.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That's a lot of math going on.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 5: Ted has a quick question, butt fumble or turf kick
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 5: butt fumble? Yeah, that was ridiculous, did you guys ever
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 5: hear what?
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: Whose explanation?
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 13: Well, there was a problem with the hold. He didn't
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 13: feel like that the timing or something was it. But
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 13: like Fred makes a good point about the plant leg
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 13: was really close to the ball. I don't know if
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 13: it's because the ball wasn't in the right place, but
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 13: there was something about the timing of that whole play
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 13: that looked wrong. And I think it started with a
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 13: snap and hold. I would have like, I don't really
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 13: understand why you wouldn't just kick it and then you know,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 13: let the chips fall where they may and the other
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 13: thing that you know, underrated doesn't really matter, but underrated.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 13: You know, the holder gets the ball and he starts
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 13: to roll out and then just throw the ball away.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 13: You save yourself significant field position and an incomplete pass.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 13: The ball goes back to the line of scrimmage, right, Instead,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 13: you're running. So now you're eight yards back at the snap,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 13: you're running like thirteen yards back. Like that's a that's
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 13: a big difference, thirteen yards, don't you think? Yeah, absolutely,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 13: just throw it away incomplete pass.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 12: At least you get the ball.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 13: Whatever the thirty nine yard line or whatever it was,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 13: was it forty nine yard attempt? That probably doesn't even
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 13: go down as a missfield goal?
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 12: Yeah it doesn't.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Max and Santa Barbara. A couple things. First, First, off,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: in and out in California only is far superior to
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: any other burger place in the fast food world. Yes,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 5: outside California it's not the same. But as Paul should
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: be able to tell you, champions Pub and Pee, but
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: he might be the best burger on the planet, very
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 5: very good burger. Really, what makes it good?
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 13: It's just it's just I don't know, it's just I
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 13: don't get them a lot. I don't get them a lot.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 13: They're steak tips, they marinate.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 5: Marinated BURGERM. What makes the burger good.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 13: It's just a good burger. I don't know what makes
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 13: it good. I mean, I don't know, good.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 4: Good good, good beef comes together nice.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 12: It's lean, not not too but not too lean. You
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 12: don't want that like you need a little good. You
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 12: need the good percentage like.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 13: Ninety ten, eighty five, fifteen, can't you don't want the
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 13: ninety five five.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 5: I like going forty percent. Let's go get that, get
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 5: that flavor in there.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 12: Some maybe maybe eighty twe maybe eighty twe.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, Second, you need to get a picture of Rable
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: on the wall. And finally, with the Cowboys and cap
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: Hell next year, do you think the Patriots should make
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: a run at Pickens?
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 13: I do not think that that will happen. But he's
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 13: going to cost a lot of money and he's a handful. Yeah,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 13: that's one of the ones that Mike has been on
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 13: for a while.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 12: I would still like the Patriots.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 13: Now, I would say no, because I think this whole
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 13: thing that they've put together chemistry wise, is working right.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 12: And I wouldn't I wouldn't risk it right, but I
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 12: would have.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 13: You know, I used to disagree with Mike in terms
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 13: of the talent. I would have the Patriots needed a
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 13: number one receiver. Look what he's done, and the guy's
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 13: tremendously talented. Now he's showing you what he could have
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 13: been doing in Pittsburgh if he had someone to throw
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 13: him the ball.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 5: Is Dak Prescott a dark horse for MVP.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 13: If they make a run and get in the playoffs,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 13: he absolutely will be on the fringes of that. A
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 13: lot of people think he's had a great year and
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 13: he's carried that team.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 5: Yep, Zach and Sinsey. Cannot be stated enough the impact
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 5: Doug Marone has had on this offensive line. He has
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 5: the team prepared every single week, and it seems like
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 5: they're improving with every game, even play who everyone wrote
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 5: off look adequate under his coaching. Rabel In the entire
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: coaching staff deserve their flowers. I try to give them
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 5: every time. I there's more flowers than Fred.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 5: I mean we're seeing the difference that good coaching can make.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: Just like to see a little more movement in the
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 4: run game from the offensive line group.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's all. Okay. I don't know if this is
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 5: a strong man article, I mean an argument, But Andre
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 5: writes in I keep hearing people question the Patriots opponents
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: this season, suggesting our record as a product of weak teams.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 5: But let's take a look at the facts.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 12: First.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 5: Many of the teams we beaten are competitive right now,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 5: and their losses have come against strong opponents. Second, if
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 5: you compare where the Patriots were last year to where
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 5: we are today, the improvement is undeniable. You don't win
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 5: eleven games by accident, and you certainly don't win eleven
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 5: games against nothing but weak teams. That's just not how
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 5: the NFL works. Third, everyone keeps talking about the so
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 5: called big teams, yet here we are sitting in the
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 5: first seed. Facts are facts. If we weren't strong, we
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: wouldn't be in this position. It's time to stop down
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: playing this team and hiding behind the narrative weak opponents.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: The Patriots squad is good, very good, and we have
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 5: the roster to beat anyone. Let's start giving this team
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 5: the credit they've earned. Here here huzzah, Andre.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 13: Fred's doing it. He's consistent. Fred says the same about Chicago.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 13: I don't I think schedules are extremely important in the NFL.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 13: I think that there's a reason why a lot of
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 13: the so called powers are really struggling, and because they
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 13: all kind of hit a really, really tough schedule in
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 13: the same year. Kansas City, Detroit, the NFC, the NFC
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 13: North schedules like that's that's tough. That's tough.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, i'd say Buffalo. I feel like they're they
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 4: just have no ability to push the ball down the field.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 13: So, I mean, I think it's not your thirteen opponents.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 13: Nine out of your thirteen opponents have fewer than six wins.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 13: I mean, it is what it is. Six out of
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 13: your thirteen have three wins or less.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 25: Just but how does how much does that actually matter?
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 12: But in the grand scheme of things, zero? No, But
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 12: I mean, like your record is good, that's cares how
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 12: you got you'll.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 30: Know, because I don't know if I'm like as gung
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 30: ho as the emailer was a little bit, but uh.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 12: Lastic, it's an enormous difference.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 13: You don't think that Kansas City would be better than
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 13: six and six with that schedule.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 30: But I don't think it's too relevant to where we're
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 30: going this season.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 13: It's it's completely irrelevant. It's been proven that the teams
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 13: with the easiest schedules make the deepest playoff runs.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 25: So then what's the point in bringing it up all
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 25: the time.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 13: Because he's suggesting that that that's got nothing to do
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 13: with the schedule.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 30: Oh, I mean, I don't know if it has nothing
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 30: to do with the schedule at all.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 13: But I look, now, all you have to do is
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 13: be one or two good teams and you win the
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 13: super Bowl, as opposed to having to go through eight
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 13: or ten good.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 12: Teams to get to the super Bowl.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 13: I'll take the two, right, But then why I always
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 13: say like I would rather, you know, I'd rather avoid
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 13: the monsters. You know, Fred used to you know, used
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 13: to put the big ones on the table.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: I don't care who.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 13: Well, right, I'm he me the easiest road, But do
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 13: you take it?
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 12: You want to give me Chicago in the super Bowl?
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 13: Like Fred says, absolutely, they're by far the weakest of
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 13: the possible NFC Super Bowl contenders.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 4: But are you saying that Kansas City, Baltimore and Buffalo
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 4: business as usual? They just run into a bad schedule
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 13: Kansas City, Yes, and Evan will have numbers to kind
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 13: of they prove that.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 30: The analytics have been saying that Kansas City is underachieving
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 30: relative to how while they're playing all year. But I
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 30: just there's a difference between, you know, what they need
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 30: what Paul is saying, which is the Patriots have cleaned
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 30: up on some easy teams to get to eleven wins, which.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 12: Is just fact, but in the team.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 30: But that also does I think I where the point
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 30: that a lot of fans are at with it is
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 30: that it's irrelevant, like this sensey, but no, it's literally
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 30: it's irrelevant though like once we get to January, it's
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 30: it's irrelevant.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 13: For the twenty twenty five season. Okay, it's not going
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 13: to stop them from getting where we want to go.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 13: I totally agree with you, but they're relevant, like it
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 13: is part of the equation, I guess.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 30: So I just like if you start talking about like
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 30: who's going to come out of the AFC and we
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 30: start really having this conversation about.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 13: The Patriots in Denver have benefited from soft schedules, Okay,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 13: but once we get to the playoffs, Like so you're
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 13: saying now that once we get to the playoffs, it's
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 13: going to be fools gold And one of those two
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 13: teams said, I think the Patriots are a good team.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 25: So then what difference does it make?
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 5: Like what why? Why?
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 5: Because you hy bring it up, you don't think it's
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 5: going to be relevant?
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 13: Do you think it makes a difference to get the
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 13: number one seed? Sure, when you get the number one
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 13: seed by having the best record, Right, so there's relevance
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 13: to that that does matter.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 12: But still in less game and you're at home in
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 12: the next one.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 5: Right, but you but if you also think you're gonna
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 5: you're gonna be one of the best teams in the playoffs,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 5: then I can see what Evan's saying. Yeah.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 30: All I'm saying is that if we come back and
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 30: look at this in six weeks or eight weeks or
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 30: whatever it is, and the Patriots end up losing earlier
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 30: in the playoffs and we all want them to, then
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 30: the Cam Newton Fools Gold thing is going.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 12: To come up.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 30: But I don't necessarily know if like the fact that
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 30: they're cleaning up against teams like the Giants in the
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 30: grand scheme of things of getting into a deep postseason round.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 25: I'm just not seeing how it's relevant.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what was twenty one was Fool's Gold.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah, remember, because I can't tell you if it's relevant
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 13: because I said this last time, I can't see the future.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 13: I don't know what's going to happen, so I can't
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 13: tell you if it's relevant.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 30: You can say that they are to have eleven wins
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 30: partially because of their schedule. But all I'm saying is
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 30: is that I don't I don't know if that necessarily
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 30: is going to matter, like because the way what I'm
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 30: getting at is people.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 5: Bring it up to say you're not as good as
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 5: you think you are.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 13: Okay, well, I'm saying the other side of it. But
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 13: the Patriots fans say that that's wrong.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 25: Well, it's not about that.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 12: It's a sensitivity.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 25: It's not I know, Michael, Well, it's not a sensitivity.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 5: It's annoying.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 12: It's annoying for admitting it. It's not that it's annoying.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 31: Annoying, it's annoying when people you haven't made an actual
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 31: case for why it matters, Like if you want to
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 31: tell the whole story, because because the games haven't been played,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 31: I don't know what will happen if they play good teams,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 31: I don't know because I haven't seen it.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, but they played one good team.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 30: But my point is is that if you want to
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 30: talk about it in the context of the season of
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 30: how did we get here? It is a relevant talking point.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 30: If you want to talk about it as in the
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 30: Patriots are going to lose in the playoffs because they
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 30: played bad teams and the regulars to do that.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 12: I also just don't think.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 25: That's backed up by history.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 12: But that's what I'm saying. I can't do that. But
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 12: I'm telling you.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 30: Something I haven't seen, Okay, but I'm telling you things
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 30: that have already happened in the past, and the history
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 30: of the league would tell you that a lot of
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 30: teams that beat up on bad schedules go on deep
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 30: playoff runs. The Eagles last year did not have a
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 30: particularly hard schedule and they went on a deep playoff
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 30: run and won the whole thing.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 13: So like, I just like if you told the do
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 13: you think Washington was really good or do you think
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 13: it was a little bit of kind of flukiness to it.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there was a lot of last second win.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 12: There might have been, but that's like the haters.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 30: I'm not They went to the NFC championship game, so
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 30: I understand.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 12: But I think and I think the Patriots could do
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 12: the same thing.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 5: But I think that I think the crowd, Paul, that
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 5: you don't like what they are saying is why you
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 5: keep bringing this up? Why are you doing?
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 13: And I think you had the perfect answer right to
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 13: annoy It's annoying to you're annoyed.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 5: I'm annoyed. But that's why. That's why Patriots fans get
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: their dander up when people keep bringing up, why are
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 5: you doing it? What's the point?
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 12: I mean?
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 5: Are you just say you don't think it's not that good?
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 13: See, I'm not saying that. And Evan keeps asking me
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 13: if what's the relevance. I have no idea because it
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 13: hasn't played out. If the Patriots win the Super Bowl,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 13: it had no relevance. But there's the Patriots loose, we
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 13: just have.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 12: Relevance. I don't know what's going to happen.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 30: We just have so many examples of this happening though
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 30: in the NFL, where teams beat up on bad schedules
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 30: and they still are good teams that still go on
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 30: deep playoffs. For us sometimes it was always like people,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 30: you beat up on a bad schedule, then you get
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 30: to the playoffs and you play Buffalo.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 5: When you get Patriots or in the height of their dynasty,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 5: the haters would say, oh, you have the AFC East
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 5: and you beat up on them every year. Meanwhile, the
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 5: AFC East teams had very good out of division records.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 30: We're not doing that I just don't. I'm I'm with
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 30: Paul on that.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 12: But I did.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 5: That's a bridge too far.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 12: Three the old teams.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 13: I mean, I don't know, Miami made the playoffs once
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 13: in ten years.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 30: Vision It's just like, you're right, the Patriots have had
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 30: an easy schedule, Like, okay, thank you. Tell me why
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 30: it matters. Tell me why that they're not the best
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 30: team in the conference.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 12: I don't have anything to come Paul.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 25: You know what I'm saying. Tell me why it matters.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 12: Tell me why?
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 25: Why is that going to matter?
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 12: If the best team wins the super Bowl every year?
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 5: Not every year.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna be upfront and I'm going to tell you
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 13: a lot of times the best team doesn't win.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 25: Okay, And well they.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 30: Probably had an easy schedule so then got there exactly.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 13: So I'm not telling you that I can't. So I'm
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 13: not telling you that it has relevance. I keep answering
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 13: the same way.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 13: If there's any relevance to it. I don't know, Okay,
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 13: but so if I don't have But you.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 25: Keep on bringing up something that you can't back up.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 30: And then you say not bringing anything up, but but
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 30: this is but this is what your brethren does. You
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 30: keep on bringing my brother you're when you're you're.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 5: Talking, that blows.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 25: That's the case that you're making.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 13: And then you keeping Somebody says that they haven't really
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 13: been tested, has to get mocked.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 5: I think they've been tested. No, because you Britain.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 30: My point is pause that you bring this stuff up
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 30: and then Patriots fans get sensitive about it, and then
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 30: you're Nana Nan and your sensitive like cool goodness.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 12: So that's that's that you're going directly at Felger with that.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 12: I don't, Yeah, I.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 25: Don't, because he does it all the time and it's like.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 5: It's a circular dude.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 25: Like how the Packers doing.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 13: I think there's championships that are won in all sports
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 13: every almost every year that fortune plays a huge role.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 13: And when you see a team, how you get a team?
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 12: What you know who?
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 13: You miss a matchup that maybe you needed to avoid,
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 13: and yes, a schedule giving you a seed that maybe
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 13: you're not quite as talented to have achieved, but you
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 13: achieved it and that made your road that much easier.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of different ways that this can happen.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 13: I just don't know how it's going to play out.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 30: Well, it's a very convenient thing to say when you
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 30: bring it up all the time and then just say,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 30: but I don't know, I don't know how it's going
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 30: to go.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 25: It's just convenient. It's convenient to just have that compound.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 12: It's convenient. What am I saying?
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 30: And I'm not saying you necessarily, but like this whole again,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 30: the whole case.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 12: But you keep saying that I'm not because it's the
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 12: whole thing.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 30: Is like it's easy to say that, like, Okay, I
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 30: don't have a crystal ball, Okay, So then why do
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 30: you keep bringing it up?
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 25: Why do you keep bringing it up?
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 30: Because I have the last couple of weeks brought up
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 30: on a Thursday and in a Monday night, I've been
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 30: able to watch a lot of games across the league
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 30: the last couple of weeks.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 13: You started by saying this might be a bit of
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 13: a straw man, right right, right with the email, right,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 13: I didn't bring it up.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 5: I love it. Andrew writes in He's in Maine. Yes,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 5: we have a soft schedule this year, but capital we
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 5: are also playing lights out consistently on offense, defense, special teams.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 5: Both can be true at the same time. We're about
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 5: to triple our wind total from last year, and the
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 5: team chemistry is through the roof.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 12: And why are so many of the games so close?
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 5: Kudos all over, because that's the NFL. Kudos all around, Rouser.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 5: Even if we get knocked out early in the playoffs,
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 5: we have momentum on our side again and the team
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 5: is fun to watch. As for the hits on Dart
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 5: last night, old school bat ball is back. Baby Dart
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 5: was warned to slider go out and he chose not to.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 5: He took the hit and didn't complain about it, to
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 5: my knowledge. I don't want anybody to get hurt unnecessarily,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 5: but this is football, for God's sake. Not any problem
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 5: with they hit on to see the restaurant straw man.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 4: Well, the tight end from the Giants, No.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 12: That's different.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 5: Well you do that, you have.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 13: No But the tight end protecting his quarterback out of bounds,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 13: that's a different thing. But the fans weren't up in
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 13: arms about the hit that Ellis put on Dart.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 4: I can't wait for next year when the heart schedule
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 4: and we can just pike our heart schedule. What are
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 4: we supposed to do?
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we're talking.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know how it's gonna go, so let's not.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 25: Let's not go there yet, all.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 5: Right, couple couple of calls, you'll be indy, Boston Cream
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 5: has been holding on. What's up, Boston Cream?
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 21: Hey guys, we have to get rid of the all
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 21: we got all we need. We stole that from the
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 21: Seahawks and the Pee Carron the Legion of Boom Days.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 5: Well, other teams have used it as well, so I
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 5: don't know, I I think it really applies.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 21: And second thing, Evan totally disagree with you. Took Tim
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 21: Tebow and Danny Kanal. Those are the quarterbacks we've beaten
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 21: this century in Denver. If you think that has just happened.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 30: Don't even get me started on the Broncos So Austin Cream.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 30: They barely just beat Marcus Mariota in overtime. He had
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 30: a wide open receiver in the flat and if he
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 30: gets the ball three inches higher over at Nick Benino's head.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 30: They just got upset by the Commanders, who are three
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 30: and eight with their backup quarterback preach. And I'm supposed
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 30: to be terrified of this team. I just saw bow
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 30: Nicks throw an interception to old man Bobby Wagner where
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 30: the ball went right to him.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 21: I have put your PFF tablet down, look at.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 12: Thet Oh yeah, dude, six.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 30: I don't watch any of the games, my man, good
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 30: come of stuff.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 25: You guys are getting me fired out.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 30: I came in just that's probably the main reason. But
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 30: I'm so sick and tired of hearing about the Broncos.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 5: Man, Like, I think they're good.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 25: You have a soft spot for the Broncos.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 30: No, I I watched football, so you thought that that
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 30: was a good performance on Sunday, and.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 5: Even good teams have tough times against in a certain games.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 12: Think the Rams are any good?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 11: I think they lost to the Panthers, right, Okay, but
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 11: I think the Panthers canters like they're not the Marcus
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 11: Mariota commanders pretty close, you know they're not.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 12: They're pretty close.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 5: By the way, that is the proper way.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 4: To why is Mario?
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 12: Why is that?
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 5: That's the correct way to Eric.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 4: Redefined it for me when he was like, it's Mariota,
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 4: and now they're saying it's Mario ta.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 13: So I'm trying to say it the right way so
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 13: that every single word we should over pronounce.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 5: The tea that's that's how his name is pronounced.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 13: I understand that that's how the tea is pronounced, but
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 13: we don't really say.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: It like that.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 5: I know, but I don't know.
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 13: That's just I just find it weird that all of
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 13: a sudden, it's like year whatever it is, twelve for
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 13: the guy. Everybody is like over pronouncing the tea in Mariota.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and they're kind of mockingly doing it too.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 30: I feel like Tariko like had it more like it
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 30: was softer, It wasn't as weird.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 25: Collins was like what.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 13: We do in the pregame. I think there were can
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 13: agree on this. I'm absolutely with Evan on this. Every
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 13: came in really up today, like it.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 5: Like, for example, when you say I say Hawaii, that's
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 5: not correct. It's Hawaii Hawaii. So like there's like there's
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 5: actually like.
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 12: An apostrophe between the eyes.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just wish we get it from the get go.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 4: You know, like, what's your name? Say at the beginning,
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 4: it's your name, it's your name.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 13: I think that anybody that has a t you should say.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 12: Not do, but no one does except for Mariota.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Maybe his mother called all the networks
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 5: and said, you're not pronouncing.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll bet you it's something like that Ronnie the
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 4: pet thing that was I mean literally like first three
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 4: seasons he's Ronnie lipp It and then.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 13: But again that's pronouncing his name differently. Every word that
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 13: has a T in it. No one pronounces over pronounces
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 13: the tea like that. We're not asking to Like it's
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 13: not like everybody said it's Mariota.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 12: He really thinks it's mo.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 12: He's just saying you need to ac the T. It's tough,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 12: you know.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 5: But if somebody says this is how you pronounce my name,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 5: you should respect that.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 13: No, I agree, just like if someone prefers to be
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 13: called you know, like josh Dobbs and Joshua Dobbs, like
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 13: he had said, I forget the differentiation now, but he
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 13: when you're right, it's Joshua, when if you're just talking
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 13: to him, it's josh you know, like I respect that,
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 13: Like that's Benjamin Watson preferred to be known as Benjamin.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: All right, A couple of quick calls, We're up against it,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 5: Danny's and Daytona, what's up, Danny?
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 32: Hey, what's going on again? How you guys doing it.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 5: They did good.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 16: I just wanted to say I.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 32: Didn't get to call it last night the pre game.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 32: It was pretty late, but it was.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 10: It was.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 32: It was a great game I can say to Paul, Paul,
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 32: I was surprised you haven't you didn't mention it or
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 32: fred The only thing I was disappointed. I love how
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 32: the defense played, Love how the offense played, and I
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 32: loved how the Beste's played. The only person on special
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 32: teams that pissed me off that he's been pissing me
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 32: off since two thousand Anderst since twenty twenty three, when
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 32: Belichick drafted that. You guys can take a guess, is
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 32: the punter. That guy has been so wildly inconsistent.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 12: He was on the bad list last night.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah he was.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 32: Yeah, I don't know if you mentioned it, Paul. He
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 32: he was wildly inconsistent his first year in the league.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 32: Last year, I mean, yeah, it was a disaster team,
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 32: so he was inconsistent too. And then this year you'll
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 32: see he has punts where he punts and bombs it
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 32: deep and it's perfect, and then he just shanks pumps
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 32: punts that are like twenty to thirty hours.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 13: Freddy even criticized his plus fifty punts. That was fair,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 13: fair cart at the fourteen, right, I didn't we put.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 5: Out that we got more room to put it inside
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 5: the ten and you couldn't do it? All right? Thanks Dan,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 5: appreciate the call. We'll wrap up with Manny in New Bedford.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 5: What's up, Manny?
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 17: What's going on?
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 5: Guys? Hey?
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 28: So I just wanted to dive into that running game.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 28: Nothing stresses me out more than watching us in third
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 28: and short situations knowing we're gonna run the ball and
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 28: we just can't seem to find gap.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 5: What needs to change?
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 28: I'm curious what you guys. I feel like when I
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 28: watch I feel like last year when we watched third
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 28: and long situations, you just kind of side and like
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 28: we're not getting that now. I feel it's third and
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 28: short nowhere running the ball, teams nowhere running the ball,
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 28: and we just can't seem to get two yards.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're just getting beat up front. That's that's playing
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 5: and simple, playing and simple.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 25: But did they did some things yesterday? I think have
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 25: some bones, you know, unbalanced lines.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 5: Well, I heard David Andrews this morning and like he said,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 5: aside from the goal to go runs. He said he
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 5: thought the running game was really good last night.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 13: I thought it started off pretty I thought Reminder had
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 13: some good you know, really six yeah, good six yard runs.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 13: You know, they get a nine yard or in there somewhere,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 13: I thought between the tackles, and then obviously Trevion at
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 13: the end of the game caught.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 12: A thanks Manny had a big yap for a twenty
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 12: six yards.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 4: I think there's.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 30: Running Drake is still on the table and they haven't
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 30: They haven't done that yet, and I think that that
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 30: might be something that they're saving for late in the season.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 5: What do you think about them just flashing that wildcat
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 5: play to remindre.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I didn't care for that if was not happening.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 5: They did it, and they scored a touchdown.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 30: When you when you need to resort to things like
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 30: the wildcat to get yards on the.
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 5: Out there, like okay, let's let's just try this, it's
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 5: kind of think they were resorting to it, like I.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 30: Think they're kind of emptying the clip on how to
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 30: get some short yard.
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 5: And all right, we're going to be back tomorrow on Wednesday,
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 5: Catch twenty.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 25: Two tomorrow at ten.
• 2:02:18
