  Speaker 1: Patriot's Unfiltered. Paul is a pain in the ass sometimes,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: but now he has a pain in the ass well
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: as hard as the Patriots had it in Buffalo. I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody's got a harder than Paul's doctor right
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: about now, the oceanographers are there. It's like we have
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a boa. We're all going to be there sooner or sooner.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: They've all got a year in the program. Now, let's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: let's give it a little bit more time before we
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: rush to start cutting people. People are just way too impatient.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It just rubs me the wrong. Yeah, you know, not
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: really Grimes kind to try to find a Paul Cadence
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to do this with. So, yeah, last week we all
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: had a pretty good week, some of us more than others,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and it was not a pretty one for the entire proof.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We've got in first place a three way time overall.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: By the way, a blendie who actually keeps the right
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: score confirmed that in the regular season. Of course, Eric
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: did win a game. Somewhere. Paul is shaking his fists
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: this is Patriot's Unfiltered fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to Patriots Unfiltered. It's Tuesday here at Gillette's Stadium, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Patriots Nation is is a lot of consternation. I had
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: us tight. Yeah, no, Blundie head me up by one. Anyway, Yes,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of consternation in Patriot's Nation because what they
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: witnessed over the weekend and by the way, a great
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: weekend of football. Awesome made up for the weekend before.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But we don't have that. We want that, Yeah, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and I think I think, um, it made people realize,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: like in terms of that level of play from the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: quarterback position, we had a long way to go. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: well I don't know. I mean, I don't know if
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you could ever get there what those guys do with Max.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Now it's not that mac Jones can't win, but those
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: guys are special. Yeah. I thought it was more in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: terms of just to the level of play. Now obviously
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a quarterback is I mean, Alan and Mahomes just right
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: through Haymakers for the last two minutes of that game
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: were insane. Those are the best two teams in the league,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, And it's it's shame that they had
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to play in the division around, But you're right, friend,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they have four games go down to the very last
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: play of the game, one after another. Right, Yeah. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was just surprised how much you can't break the NFL.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's it's unbreakable. It was. It was especially after last week.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: There weren't there were a lot of bad games, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it just it was awesome into but it was a prelude. Prelude. Uh.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And I was surprised that I found myself rooting for Buffalo,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Like I don't really try to think about it too much,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: but as I was watching the game, when they were
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: making them like let's go. I mean, I probably not alone.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of Patriots fans don't want to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: see Kansas City win again, but but I was. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was legitimately invested in the I'm trying to win that game,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so I was a little bit to I I was mad.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I was. I was mad at the Bill's defense, Like
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you can't play defense for thirteen seconds after what your
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks just it was embarrassing. I mean, well, that's that's good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: One thought it was over. Like I said it, Tyson,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: when I was watching it, you said it too, that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that everybody wasting time is there's thirteen secons And like
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I told Mike, I had like three different text chains
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: going at the time. Like the only thing I did,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: which I try very hard to do all of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: time on those weekends, I stayed off Twitter. Um, but
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I had like all kinds of interactions going on, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: everybody there was like eleven different people thirteen seconds. Mahomes
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you never know, like nobody counted them out. And there's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: only to me two guys it's Brady and Mahomes that
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: people would have acted like that. Yeah, everybody else thirteen
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: seconds you would say the game is over. And as
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: good as the quarterback play was, the defense is off
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: weren't good. I mean that Brady game twenty seven to three,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I mean that was like a meltdown. Well that was
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: played great. Yeah, their offense keep really good, but it
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was a meltdown to allow Brady to get back into it. Yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I mean four fumbles in a missfield goal and basically
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a half. It was a half and a play. Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: just unbelievable. And then the green Bay game, I just
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: think I don't know what was going on with green
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Bay's offense, but it just seems like throughout the game,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Rogers was pouty and just didn't want to go to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: anyone except you know, Monteana. It's just like there's other
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: guys you can go to, and I don't you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not buying it was the cold that oh no, no, no,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: no way. Yeah. I mean the conditions didn't help. I mean,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: obviously it's harder and bad conditions, but I mean he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: played in that, yeah, absolutely, yeah, So I don't know
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: what was going on there. You know, he's I don't
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: think he's long for Green Bay, but I don't know Otherwise, like,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you know, getting this back to the Patriots, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of Patriots fans were like, holy crap,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what it was a lot of that,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that's what you have to do to win now. Oh yeah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And I get it. But I also think, like I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: watched it, and I said, all these guys have two
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: awesome weapons, you know, and it's not like seven different guys,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's two guys. So I mean, you know, at one hand,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I know it's hard to get those guys. And we
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: talk about it sixty percent of the time on the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: radio show of How To get that kind of player
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: into the system. But you know, I think that there's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a clarity of that, And then I also think coming
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: out of it, you're like, do we even try on
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: defense anymore? Like what's the point? You know, like nobody
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: can do anything anymore? Obviously that I think when you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have two guys like Alan and Mahomes who were that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on throwing and then willing to run, I don't know
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: how you stop that and it didn't like the weapons
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: thing to me is of far less significance as that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: just quar What do you like when you do cover them,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: they just run for the fret Like the first the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: first possession of the game, Well, the Bills went down
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the field and score. Then Kids of City gets it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and it's like a third down. He runs up the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Mahomes runs up the thirty five yards. It was like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: where is everybody? Like, like to your point, like can
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you even play defense anymore? Yeah? So you know, job
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: number one I think for the Patriots this offseason is
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: how do we how do we, in Bill's words, keep
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: up with Josh Allen in a game? But Paul wrote
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the story last week, you gotta get fast, you need speed. Yeah,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: but I mean, overall, we're not going to We're not gonna,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, have an offense that's as
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: high powered as them, you know, whether it's Kansas City
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: or you know, even Cincinnati or Buffalo. So we've got
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to win in a different way. We've got to blend it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You know, We've got to figure out how to make
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a couple stops throughout the game and keep up that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: way because you know, when all of a sudden, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Matt Jones isn't going to become one of those quarterbacks.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We're not going to get a Tyree Kill all of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a sudden. You know, we're gonna have to figure it
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: out another way. Well you could, I mean to do
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: this point, you could get a Tyree Kill all of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a sudden, like if he's available in free agency, like
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you get somebody like that, or you draft somebody. Now
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you've got your two offensive you know, our houses to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: complement the quarterback. I mean that's easier to do that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I think to rebuild a defense and get at speed
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: over Tyree Hill is the number one, Like that's speed
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: at a different level. But you need to get some
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: guys that are faster. Yeah, So when the game. You know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: so when you're when you're playing in a game like that,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you can throw a crosser to a guy who can
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: do what Tyree Hill did at the end of the game.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: By earlier in the game, he threw a little screen
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to Nicole Hardman, who took a meaningless little flip and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you know, went twenty five yards for a touchdown just
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: by scooting by everybody. The Patriots don't have that ability,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and that would I mean, all quarterbacks would benefit from
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of playmaking. Yeah, And I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: think also too, you know, talk about the Bills Bennefit
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the running game, you know, I think, I mean, I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: still think that you talk about beating the Bills, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: still think you need a running game. If they're gonna
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: stick with their kind of defensive philosophy, you can't lean
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: completely on it. And I don't really I'm not trying
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to say that they should continue down the road of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: we're gonna power, run, we're gonna tap, you know zig
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what everybody's acting. I don't buy that. But I think
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that if they have just a little bit more speed
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and ability to have big plays, they got to think
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: more about the past. It might open stuff up for
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Harrison Stevenson, and I think those are two good running
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: backs that you can you know, produce with and and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: potentially get Buffalo out of their game. But and the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and then the other thing that emerged from the weekend,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you know, because another team other than the Patriots lost
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: uh in overtime in you know, one possession fashion, So
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: we got to change the overtime rules now, you know.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm open to suggestions, you know, I just
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I don't really understand the Patriots role in this. If
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Patriots had been victim of this, no one would
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: care about changing the rules. But any other team that's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: victim too. So the last time this became a big deal, right,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Kansas City lost? Right? Right? Did they change it? They
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to, but they didn't know, but Kansas City petition
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the league to change it. Right, But now we're happening again.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: What did this have to do with the Patriots? So
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a Patriots team that lost. So again there's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: an uproar. We have to change it. I don't I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: not saying they will, but they have to change I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: think it's just that it was it was a shame
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that the Bills lost the way they did, and people
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: are saying that one would say stretch. And what I'm saying, Eric,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is if it was the Patriots, they wouldn't say it's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a sham. Of course they would, No, they wouldn't. They would.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: First of all, the Patriots would never lose a coin toss.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, let's call it what it is. If
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, I mean, if the Chiefs had won the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: coin toss against New England and gone, and that would
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: never no one would care, No one would care, people
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: would care, they'd be happy. I love these rules. It
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: didn't get the Patriots a chance every every time, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: overtime ends on the first drive. This happens regardless of
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the winners. Yeah, it wouldn't have happened anyway, it does.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And knows what I'm saying. Since they change, since they
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: change over time, since they that's a good cru of you. Hey, sorry,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Mike um. Since they change the overtime rule, the coin
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and for the playoffs is ten and one, which because
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the regular season it's much more even. By the way,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the winning percentage does not calculate. Did you see that text.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: They're ignoring the ties, they're counting the ties as lost. Like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I have a proposal. Do you want to hear it? Yeah,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I mean very complicated proposal. It's it's not too complicated. Um,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So every both teams get a possession. So if the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Patriots go down score touchdown the offensive possession. Yeah, if
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously turnover defensive score, it ends. But Patriots
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: go if they score, no matter what touchdown, field goal,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the other team gets a possession. If at the end
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of two possessions it's still tied, you play out the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: quarter no matter what. So not sudden death. You play
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: out the quarter, and whoever's winning at the end of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the quarter wins. If the quarter ends and it's still tied,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you go back to the start coin and you play
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the quarter. You play it over from as if it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: started over time again. I might have no problem with that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I would just play another quarter and just have it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: be a time. Gotta be a thing, just like Bill
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Belichickson another thing, you know, I regular football. Another thing
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm in agreement with Bill on I just don't really
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: know how why it's so hard to just play a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: quarter of football so you're seeing the player, Like if
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you want to keep the regular season
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the way, it is fine because you don't want them
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to play that much more. What the windows, Yeah, you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that stuff in the playoffs.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But you're saying, keep playing full quarters in the playoffs
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: until if it's tied after two possessions, each possession, play
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the play out the quarter. I'm okay with Fred's thing there,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: but I would just say, we're going to play a quarter, right,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and whoever has the most points after this fifth quarter wins.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But if it's the fifth quarter, then you play, We're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: put play another quarter. Yeah, right, but that's a lot
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of football. I would take them the extra thirty minutes, Paul,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: let's go what I don't under saying, what's the difference. Well,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: there have been plenty of double overtime playoffs. I know,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I know, but like if it's tied after one quarter,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you're guaranteed to play another quarter. That's a lot. I mean,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: just score and how many times would that happen? I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't like the idea of the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: coin toss being such a such an instrumental part. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: listen was the only mistake Josh Allen made. It still
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: would be because you still would have the advantage. If
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you get the ball first, m you still would have
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that advantage. But so in overtime he wants the ball.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But if he didn't, yes, because the game ends if
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I score. I'm just teasing. God. What if what if
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the coin toss someone someone didn't defer this weekend and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: got black. I forget someone, I forget What if the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: coin toss was replaced by the team that had the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: lead for the most amount of time in the game
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: gets the choice? Uh, other than a coin toss, I've
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: never considered that. How about rock paper scissors? Yeah? Yeah,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm not and I'm not a huge I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: don't have a huge, huge problem with a lot of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the alterations that people have had. But at the same time,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think we talked about enough of Buffalo in
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the last thirteen seconds. I just don't understand. I don't
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: understand what they were doing, as your guys say, Red
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: asked McDermott. Is he um culpable for any of that?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He's the head coach? Oh? Yes, yeah, I think the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: bigger the bigger problem was the defense. Yeah, and I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: have to I mean, you can make an argument that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they called time out so McDermott had to be on
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: board with whatever they were doing, right, But I put
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it on Leslie Fraser. Those two plays. I thought they
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: had nobody jamming the receivers, they had no pressure on
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the passer, they had all of the coverage sort of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: focused outside the numbers. I didn't think anything as if
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: they had no end timeout anything. I didn't think anything.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They can do whatever they wanted. It. Didn't think anything
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: they did made any sense. Yeah, in addition to not
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: kicking the ball off properly, like they should have made me,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that's the least of it. Yeah, I think Kansas City
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: they should have made. Kansas City returned it to try
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to take a play away. I can understand the thinking
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: behind what they did on the kickoff, because you do
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: run a risk, however small it is, that the guy's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: going to return. I think you could make an argument
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that there was a better chance that they're going to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: be returning the kick for a touchdown than what happened happened,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: or even that they return it like close enough to midfield.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So it's only one play, right, So I can understand that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But if you're gonna do that, you need to play
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: some defense that makes sense, like Paul said, they like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: if you're not going to rush mahomes, then drop nine
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: or ten guys and flood the zones and don't give
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Kelsey and Andy right not force them to use that timeout,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and like now they you know, they're incrementally trying to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: move up and then time runs out on them, Like
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you can't do it they did. I just don't get it,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and that's why I was. I was really mad because
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I felt like they wasted the tremendous one of the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: most tremendous efforts I've seen a quarterback in what in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: what Josh Allen did, especially like the circumstances, like every
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: time Kansasy scored they had to respond, they responded, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it was like long drives the score. But the first
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: drive that they they took, the first drive that they
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: took the lead on that they ended up scoring on
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: fourth and thirteen, Like that drive was unbelievably clutched the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: place that Josh Allen made on that drive, and then
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you know these people like, oh, the defender fell down.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Did you see how he fell down? Because he was
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: scrambling around and makeing he just gave Davis went down
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the field broke to the outside and cut inside and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: made the guy. He broke the guy's ankles. If that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: play happened on the what what what what are we
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: doing here? If that play had happened in the NBA,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: esan would have suspended all operations and just ran that
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: play for like twenty four hours straight, because whenever a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: guy like breaks down someone off the dribble in the NBA.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That's what he did with the absolute game on the line,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and no one even talks about it. But I thought
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you were talking about Josh Allen's big plays and I'm
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: not even talking about his throws, like to escape the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: pressure in the pocket. He made some incredible moves to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: get away from pressure on several of those throws, including
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the two point conversion and uh and that poor defensive
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: back that he ran over its line on the field, Like,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, the game itself was unbelievable, and I know
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that purists probably looked at it and say, well, Chiefs,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you know there was no defense at all, and you're right,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't. But you know, anytime you get twenty five
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: points scored in the last minute, fifty whatever it was,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I can watching like this is I can't believe what
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing. Yeah, you know, not not not necessarily related
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to the last thirteen seconds though, But do you feel
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: like at any point the NFL is gonna change and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: give the defense back a little bit? It just seems
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: like right now that that we're seeing more and more
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: defenses that just can't don't anything. Because we think about
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: how exciting people were about this weekend, why so the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: offenses no one talked about them, no one. No one
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: talked about the Packers, right, But to be fair about it,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I mean Alan and Mahomes are rare to ruins. Yes,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I mean there's not gonna be like a slew of quarterbacks.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: They can do what they can do. I mean, forget
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: about the running, which is amazing, just the angles that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: they can watch passes away. We're all we talk about
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: like the last two passes that Mahomes did you know
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the thirteen seconds and how bad the defense was. Watch
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: where the ball goes to Kelsey on the last play
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and watch how he hits him. Yeah, absolutely perfectly in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: stride and evidently that was an ad lib Kelsey. Yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to have him be that in tune with his guy
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and put it because if he has to like stop
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: turn that's probably going to give the guy time to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: tackle them. The route was an ad libby sent Yeah. Yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they like work something out before, not usually what they do. Yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and he just puts it right on him. He didn't
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: make him slow down at all. It's not the fastest
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: guy in the world, Kelsey, It's not Tyree Hill. So
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: we had to give it to him so we could
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: get up the field. And the other thing that really
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: struck me. And I know a ton of guys had
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: these videos yesterday, and I think Glowski had a great
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: breakdown just you know, you contrast this with what Dallas
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: did the week before, and everybody knew exactly what to do.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: This lineman, the rookie center running down the field on
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the Kelsey play going like this like the center is
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: calling time out. Everybody knew exactly what they had to
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: do where they had to go. The Rams game the ROMs,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: they go forty four yards down the field and were
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: able to spike the ball with ease, like they were
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: over the ball to the point where Stafford was waiting
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: because he knows if someone isn't aligned properly, or if
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: someone makes a movement, that's a ten second run off.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The game's over, well over time it would have been,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: but they had plenty of time, and he waited and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: waited and waited, snapped it and spiked it with four
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: seconds left. Right. That's that's one of the sickest moves
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: every He just fell down. If I'm telling you, if
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: this was the NBA, he looked like I would show
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: bad play in perpetuity. Yeah he doesn't. He looks like
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a sniper shot him. Yeah. Yeah. You know who got
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a bad too. Was one of the Patriots defensive backs
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: last week against josh Awens. Remember that, Yeah, And I
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: remember I said I am absolving him of all responsibility
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: on that said, I can't, I can't make he comes
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: up on the practice squad for like a half hour
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and as that happens, to rust it for that situation. Um,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: then you know our quarterback on lease Brady? Um, you
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: know on lease Freddy? Did you just thinking that? Yeah?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: That was good twenty seven to three, And yes, you
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: know he was allowed to come back in that game.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't all Brady that did it, but but there
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: was a guy who's gonna do it, you know, like
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's Brady. And that's another one Michaels was saying
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: it like in the first half, right, you know, you
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: think you think Brady's going to have a conversation with
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: his teammates, say, I remember being done so twenty seven,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. I was ready to go on another round
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of tease. I'm telling him just unbelievable. But then some
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: comments after the Um, you know, just just this last week, Um,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I think lended more toward retirement than anything I've ever
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: heard him say. So I'm gonna read it because he
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: had it on his podcast last night, the Let's Go Podcast.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah Jim. He was asked some times about it, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: he said, um, and I care a lot about what
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they're trying to wish as a team, and I care
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a lot about my teammates. And the biggest difference now
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: is that I'm older, and as you know, and I
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: have my kids now too. You know, when they care,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I care a lot about them as well. They've been
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: my biggest supporters. My wife is my biggest supporter. It
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: paints her to see me get hit out there. And
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: she deserves what she needs for me as a husband,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and my kids deserve what they need for me as
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a dad. And I'm going to spend some time with
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: them and give them what they need, because they've really
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: been giving me what I need the last six months.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: So I can go out and do what I love
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to do. I said this a few years ago. It's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: what relationships are all about. It's not always about what
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I want, it's what we want as a family. And
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to spend a lot of time with them
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and figure out the future, figure out in the future
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: what's next. So Fat to me is as close to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: me has ever been. So ifon Tampa, I'm like, okay, great,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: what are you doing because we need to plan for
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three or two. You know, what are you doing?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And you got to tell us sooner than later as
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: we got free agency in the draft and everything. And
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I think Rogers had the same sort of honest response
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: when he was asked about his situation, and he said, look,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a little bit of time, but then
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: when I get back, I'm going to talk to the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: people here, meaning Green Bay, and you know, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: figure it out and work. And he said, I'm going
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to do it before free agency or any of that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: stuff starts. So like he's already like said like I'm
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: gonna make a decision so that it doesn't affect the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: fortunes of the team, which hopefully he is a man
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of his word when he's going because and he's honestly
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: again he said, I don't want to be a part
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: of a rebuild, and that's where they're headed. They're gonna
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: they gotta turn it over to the new quarterback, and
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: they gotta find a way to have life after Rogers
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and Adams because Adams is going. So you know, when
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you think about it, Brady and Wilson and Rogers and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: there's there could be more movement of star players this
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: offseason than we've seen in a while. You know, do
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you think about that? Oh God, do you think Brady
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: plays anywhere else? Is there a chance next year Tampa
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Tampa retires the reasons he quits or the reason he
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: leaves Tampas for what he said, then no, right, I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: think I mean, why is it any different if you're
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in San Francisco than Tampa. I think there's a chance.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But I'm with friend, Yeah, he's really fraudulent if he
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: just wants the place. I think Florio kind of speculating
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: them where, like where would the where we see San Francisco,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, depending on what if. Yeah, I mean San
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Francisco's perfect because you got a guy who the rookie,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: who could use another year sitting on the bench watching,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you know, just like Garoppolo did here. And you know
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: who better to watch than Tom Brady, you know, so
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: that would make sense if a lot of teams. Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I know, that's why. That's why I ask. And you know,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I mean tampa Is still has a lot of good pieces,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: but you know, it's just it's you can tell and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: starting to come apart a little bit a lot. Well,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I see, that's part of what. I think he's tired
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of coaching in playing and I'm not talking about being
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the GM. I think he'd do that forever. I think
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he loves the ability to pick and choose the players
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: he wants to play with. I think he loves that power.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: But I don't think he wants to say, guys, you
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: can't jump offside, right, really, guys can't do that, you know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what he has to do. Come on, yeah, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I think he has to do everything. He doesn't patience
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: they suffer from, as my brother likes to say, terminal stupidity. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And what happened with Arians hitting somebody? I like, I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: saw you got wild card even somebody. Oh I don't
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: think he deserved anything. Come on, he slapped the guy.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: The only the only difference between that and what he
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: hayes is he's he smacked a guy on his own team. Yeah,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that's the only difference. Like, Tan ain't all right for me.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: If someone hits me like that, I'll tell you that
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: somebody who made a mistake slapped him. Oh yeah, he was.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: He was. There was like a pile. Yeah, there was
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a pilot. I don't remember if it was a fumble,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: but there was a guy, you know, and it's a penalty,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: like you started taking guy. You know. He didn't he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: didn't really do it. He was just kind of an Arians, like,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: as my brother says, the red face dummy. He just
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: comes running out onto the field and wax him in
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the side of the hit like not cool, not cool,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: like the three stooges out there I am. I mean
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: he sounds like Arian sounds like a great guy to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I sit down at the bar with and just talk
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: about crap for like a half hour. But I wouldn't
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: want him as my car. Yeah, I think he's kind
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of he's kind of losing it. When it goes it's hard.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It's hard for him to when it's good, get everybody
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: back on the straight and narrow. And last year everything
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: kind of was pulling and a lot of people feel
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: like that that was a big part of some of
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: their issues. Now Brady's so good it didn't matter and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: he still won thirteen games. But even this last play,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you know, they they went zero cover blitz on the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: last play, right, And instead of like sort of saying
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that might have been a little more aggressive, he puts
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: it on the players, but some of them, some of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: them didn't get the call right, And basically he's calling
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: out Lavante David because everybody's sort of going back and
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: looking to see what they may he may have been
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: taught talking about like that. That doesn't endear you to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you to your players. It's not the first time he's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: done that. He did it to Brady the first game
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of Brady's career, right, Yeah, So Brady, obviously, you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: really you're gonna do that to me, like, but for
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: others it's like, to me, that's a different It's yet
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: another example of what happens when the team succeeds. It's hard.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That's been him. It's hard to keep things together. That's
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: his whole tenure. Like he's um, you know, like Matt
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Smith does it great? No sock, I'm b a. No
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: one's gonna told me what to do, right, I'll call
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: me pa, you know, like that's what he is. That's
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: what he is. Yeah, So it's gonna be an interesting
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: off season as always as always, I mean I and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: so if Brady stays, they're a super Bowl contender again.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's you know, we can throw all the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: dirt you want on Tampa. You know, as long as
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Brady's they're quarterback. Much like what's the case here, Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: they'll still be a super Bowl contender. Interesting that Godwin
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was kind of his primary guy. I mean, I know
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: he was still able to do it, but it was
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it was a question of with Evans and
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: even you know Antonio briefly there, but you know, Godwin
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: seemed like his guy. So I mean maybe if he
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: maybe if they go out and get Godwin and bring
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: him back, that might maybe that might grease the wheels
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit with Tom haven't haven't at least him there.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but I again, if what he said it's true,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: if he really means that, that's his out. I could
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: have kept playing, but you know, family issues, and I
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: think that if you just think about the TB twelve dousiness,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it's better if he quits before he's done. Obviously. Yeah,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: so there never can be an answer to how long
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: could he play? You could never You could always say
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he came off one of the greatest years of his life. Yeah,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: of course he could have played at forty five, right
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: or even more. You know, you don't know. There's no
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: definitive answer as opposed to he was slipping and then
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he quit, and then you know the answer. I don't
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: hope Bucks fans feel, but I feel like Patriot fans
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: if he was pulling this here would be very anti Jaizelle,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Like this would be like, oh God should be the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Yoko own Oh yeah, the Patriots. Well, I think a
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: lot of people think of her that way anyway in
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: New England. But absolutely, Mike, Yeah, absolutely, But an unbelievable
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: weekend of no NFL theater at its best. See that
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: some of the numbers for the for the viewers. Do
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: you know that like at the the climax of the game,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the end of the two minute warning and the overtime
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City, they got like a ninety share. Yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: percent of the televisions that we're on, we're watching the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Chiefs build. Somebody said those ten percent they got it
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: wasnt no, it was like it was like two percent.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: PBS that was the one that got two percent. And
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: then it was just like all cable news channels like
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Fox News, it's yet wow. But but PBS somehow was
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a second with two percent. That's crazy. But yeah, yeah,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: And and then we didn't we didn't even talk about that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Guy just said, oh, I forgot the game was we haven't.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about you know, Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. Yeah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I think all Patriots Nation is pulling for that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think he just got sacked the Boles. Actually, I
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: just I don't think how do you get sacked? I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: don't think. Still, I'll never get you guys, I'll never
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: get it. I can only imagine what was going through
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Mike's mind like watching that game, Like how much hate
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: watching he must have been doing with Kansas Buffalo playing. Yeah, No,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I really, I really am not a fan of Kansas City,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and it's and you know, Cincinnati's got like a twenty
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: minute window, like they win this game and he'll have
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: him on the list. They'll be on the list too.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Look at look at the stupid sunglass in the post game,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: look at the jacket. No, I just I don't like
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: how Patrick Mahomes. I don't like his whole qb ensom.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I hate his helmet. I was just like sitting there
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: like just totallympiring him about I know, no, I know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I know. But then you know, of course yesterday morning
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: like his dripe. Look what we did is drip? Yeah
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you have never heard of that? No, I have not
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: your clothes. I was just I wish Megan was you
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: right now? Can we ask the Olds to leave the studio? Drip?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: But you know, you get on social media yesterday morning
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: and that it's like trending Jackson Mahomes and like no,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, don't look and don't look like, don't do it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I want it. I don't want to like. And I
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: know I've asked this question before. How do I avoid
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the Jackson Mahomes stuff that everybody else see me is
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: not only inundated with but bothered to know, like I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: guess than knows you. They listen to you like I did.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I did see the obnoxious fiances or she's white now right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I think they married. I did see. I did see
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: her like spring and all over the crowd, which if
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I was in the crowd, I would have had or
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: arrest it through a beer at her um. But I
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: don't ever see the Jackson Mahomes stuff, which I mean,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I know he appears to be as annoying as everybody says,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: but I never get that stuff in mind. I don't
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: know you guys do it. No, it's not even tick took.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: It was just I just looked at the Twitter trending page,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: you know, when he's on there. I don't know if
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: that's specifically geared to me. I'm not following him, I'm
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: not looking for but it's like that moment I'm like,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I can look and it will infuriate me, or I
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: can put it down. Just when you feel good about yourself,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I want to say, I want to I want to
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: stay ground. Did you see the apology that Jesson wants
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: how to put out because he was like dancing on
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Sean Taylor's like memorial it's like that was like last year,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: wasn't like earlier this year or whatever. Yeah, he's just
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you know, but anyway, so what do you do? There's
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: just a lot doing no no this week, oh this week.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I luckily I avoided that. I think he was just
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: with her when she was well. I don't know why
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: what his commentary was, but so that that's my whole
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Kansas City thing. That's that's it. You know. I get
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend and his brother I love, I don't. I
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: get that they're good, and I don't like them because
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: they're good, I expect how good. I loved watching the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Bills game because whoever lost, I was happy
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they lost, you know, so it was a definite hate
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: watch game. That's another one, just like how do you like?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I just don't know how do you go through? So
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you must have. Really, I don't care who wins. I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: only care that the team somebody. I'll just focus on
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: who loses. So I was like, last the Bengals win
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: has to really upset you. Then, um at yeah, I
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: mean I couldn't believe that, you know, two number one
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: seeds lost. Yeah, at the same time, yea, at the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: same time. That was unbelievable, just like that. I mean
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: times since two thousan ten, I believe, Yeah, was that
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the page? I mean, and I chuck up Atlanta, I
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: chuck up the Titans. Uh to Tannehill being Tannehill. He
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: was terrible, Yeah, he was, he was. That was why
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: they lost. And and a little bit if Derrick Henry
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: not for that the past that borrowed through to the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: back that went right off his hands and got picked,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: if not for that, I think Cincinnati would have won
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that game going away. Yeah. Yeah, because even with the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: nine sacks, I thought they moved the ball well enough
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: to score points and they were in control when that
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: play happened. Yeah. I also thought Vrabel had a tough game.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I don't really understand the two point can version. Why
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: why are you doing at that point? You know, I
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: love I love me some raybel but I just don't
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: really feel like it's a huge balls on the table.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Well no, they I mean they had he did that.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: That was the analytic thing. I mean, like you get
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a yard and it increases your odds of getting it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: But I don't point. Yeah, I just look at it
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: as is there a discernible difference between being up seven
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: six and eight six. I don't think there is now.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I know that, you know, you're another touchdown and you're
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: up nine instead of you know, but I just I
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: don't really see the risk reward. Again. It's like I'm
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have a zero cover blitz to what end they're on?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Like where were they like on their own forty the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: rams for the last one, they clearly didn't have a
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: huge range and field goal kicking they had they come
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: up short on a forty seven yard or earlier. Yeah, Like,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: what's the risk reward? The risk is exactly what happened.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: A pitch and catch, by the way, nothing nothing out
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of you ordinary a great throw in, a great catch
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to a guy who was open and a guy who
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: had time to throw it. So if you get there,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: maybe you sack them. You're going you're going over time anyway. Yeah,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Like what is the what is the reward? YEA, Yeah,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't get it, and I don't get the reward
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of the two point conversion. There's another thing that kind
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: of popped up with analytics that I came across the
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: last few days that I never really had thought about.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: It is the player's perspective on it and so I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: think of that. You know, going for two, you can
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: debate it, but I also think there's something to say.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: When you just kick the field goal, you got seven,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you move on. But when you miss it or you know,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: you end up with six points in stet of seven,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: how does your team react? Like, how does your team feel?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Why are we dicking around with this? Can we just like,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much the players are on this analytics.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: They don't care what are we doing? Why are we
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: got six points and set of seven? Like I just
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I wonder if there's a segment of players that are,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you know, not on board with the analytics. And you know,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: we always just talk about it as the coaches and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the right decision, but I think how your team reacts
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: to those decisions, especially when they don't work. You know,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: maybe a guy like um, you know, like Brandon Staley,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: where it's like, it's what I'm doing, guys, this is
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: what we're doing for better or worse. I'm going forward
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: every time. And I almost respect that a huge huge
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: voter conference from the GM, so did he so you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: at least he's unapologetic about But I think when you're
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: picking your spots it's like you just want to keep
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: your team on the same page of you know what
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: we're trying to accomplish here, and you know what our
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: philosophy is attacking this game. I just think that the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the I think the bottom line is there needs to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more nuanced. I don't care if
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you like. For example, later in that game, the Titans
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: went for a fourth and one. Yeah, I think that
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: was a great idea. I think it was a fifty
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: two yard field goal. Yeah, they got stopped. Um, they
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: had a third and one. Tannehill tried his own read
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and they sniffed it out, made it fourth and one.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: They ran Henry and they stopped it. Yeah. But I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: think that that was a better way to try to
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: win that game than kicking your fifty two yard field goal. Um.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, it doesn't mean that I
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: always think you should go for fourth and one, And
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: that's what I think some of these guys do. Like
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: what and one? It says I'm going to get it
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: seventy three percent of the time, and it never accounts
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: for it in context. It never accounts for you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: for the twenty seven percent of the time that I
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: miss it. And then what happens, like is the game over.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Like the only way that they could lose that game
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: in regulation the other day is what Tannehill did throwing
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: a pick on third down. You know, like that, that's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: like the sort of the risk reward thing there. We
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: talked a lot about, you know, the reb rebuild, the rebuild. Um,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: do you think Tennessee is a cautionary tale for Patriots
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: because they are a team that went out, got a J. Brown,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: You added Julio, You've obviously got Derreck Henry, You've got
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the weapon pieces, but it comes down to the quarterback,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: you know, And I well, I'm saying that they wouldn't
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: we kill to have a J. Brown? And I think
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: that's an offense They're completely predicated on Derek Henry. Well,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: he breaks his foot, he's olf a half the year
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: right right, what you see is what you get. He
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: was nothing the other day he was he wasn't a fact.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: But by the same token, I would say that the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Patriots offense is based on their run game. It's not Derek.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: But I think people anyone thinks like, hey, let's get
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: a cut, let's get a J. Brown on this team,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and then you know, we're cooking with gas. So I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, it's got to go hand in
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: hand with with Max development as well. And I don't
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: ever expect him to be that mobile kind of quarterback,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: but you know, I think there's a lot that he
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: needs to be able to do, even if you get
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: him these weapons which you know talking about, you know
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: before we turn it over to the listeners. Um, you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: in terms of coaching, movement and all that stuff, we
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: are hearing that Raiders are interested in Josh McDaniels, although
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they've with Ziegler. Yes, yeah, and
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Ziegler right, But I think it would be a combination, combination,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if they've actually asked permission. They've
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: not yet asked permission. I think it comes down to
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: if they give the job to Ziegler, then I think
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: that's kind of weird, don't you think, Well, that's what
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: they on the reason you'd like Josh as if no,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I'm saying like they interviewed the GM position first, right,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: That's what I think has happened, and they're going to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: allow GM to make the call, right. I don't know
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: that to be sure. I just saw the same stuff
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: that you did about I think it was Schefter that
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: said that that could be a package deal. Yeah. Florio
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I think has been on that too, So Ziegler and
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Elliott Wolf a kind of in play there. Yeah. But
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: other than that, well, there's one other piece of news
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: that Uh Mayo, who had interviewed with Denver, is now
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: apparently not a finalist. There are three finalists. He's not
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: one of them, right, but Elliott Wolf is supposedly a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: finalist where Chicago Minnesota and Chicago is Yeah, I don't
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: know which of those two though they were having him
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: back for another talk, I believe I think Chicago. Wow,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that's quick. Yeah, well, yeah, there's I think there's still
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: eight eight there are There have been no Highers. They
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: lost on the coach and Ziegler, right, that's those are
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you know, some pretty big blows to the Josh and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: if Josh would be a huge loss. Yeah, I mean
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: that those three guys, especially when people you know, some
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: of the write ends of Hey, pretty solid draft last year.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: What why you know some new pieces wolf Bill Belichick
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: obviously will still be here, but more collaborative. Do you
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: think there's any whatever that the crafts would say I
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: have an idea. Okay, let's go and get two guys
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: from Nick Sabin school I like him, and then get
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: two guys from Lincoln Riley School because I like him. Well,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: what if we'll be more collaborative about it. Do you
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: think there's any chance that the crafts, you know, look
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: over on the available coaches that are out there head
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: coaches and say, you know, so and so is a
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: guy that we really want and we don't want to
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: let him get away. But Bill's not going anywhere. So
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: let's just say it's Brian Dable. They make an agreement.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: You come in as our offensive coordinator with the understanding
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: that you're going to be the head coach when Bill leaves.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's like even possible? I mean, it
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: could be, but it might not be. You know, it's
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: a craft decision, it's not I don't I think would
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: want to strike. And I also why wouldn't Dable stay
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: where he is? Because if he doesn't know he's going
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to be the head coach in Buffalo but yeah, no
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: one he's gonna be the head coach and the Patriots,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: but they would be a head coach right now if
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: he wants to. I know, but they would say most
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: like yeah, you know, they would say, you're gant We're
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: guaranteeing you this spot when Bill leaves. Yeah, but why
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: would you want that? I don't like I like that.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: You could argue that's one of the worst jobs you
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: could have, ye be replacing Bill Belichick. No, No, it's
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it's fair enough. I mean, that's gonna be tough for anybody.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Somebody's got to do, somebody will have to do, you know.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I could see them going to Josh and saying, I
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: know you, you know you're you're gonna but he's going
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: to be gone in two years and then the job
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: will be yours. I could see five years. I don't
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: think they'll do that. Yeah, I don't think they'll do that,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: But I could see Josh maybe saying, I like it here.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I'm already here. I don't know why someone would come
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: here right for the promise of replacing Belichick down the road. Yeah,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: And that's my completely uninformed speculative take that Josh Musanias
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: will not go to the Raiders just because I we're
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: of similar age. We have kids of similar age as well.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I would never in a millionaires move my kids and
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: my family to Vegas right now. They're literally there's nowhere
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: else I would want to live least than there. Um
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: why right now? But because of where my kid like that,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: like sending my kids to high school in Vegas, like
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: because they're the age of the kids. They don't you know,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: where you're at, don't really have youth hockey there then
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: hockey they got you stripping though, But no, I just
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I visited there. We have family that lived there. Nice
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: place to visit. Party. I can't imagine living there trying
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: to raise children there. They have like black widows and
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Tarantula's rights. Yeah, desert, it's a desert environment, that's what
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: that's what he comes tarantula. Josh, Josh, you gonna take that.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: My aunt lived out there and she was like, you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: in the morning, you have to check your shoes because
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: they like to go in there. And yeah, no, financial
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good because they're not they're not like, oh,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I mean I like Derek makes my shoes. It's not
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: for me having the interview. You make a great offer,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Mark Davids, But the tarantula is just I can't overcome
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: that shoes. Yeah, we'll get your little covers for your shoes.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: It is amazing. No, they have to have all this
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: stuff going on, oh never never never arrest especially this
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: time you were. It's like crazy games. But also just
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: all this potential movement. Is it me though, or does
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: it seem like it's taking all the teams who have
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: vacancies a long time to make hires this year? Well,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's two things. Well, they might be waiting
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: for the other teams. One, I think it's the season
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: got extended, you know, so you are you are like
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: a week behind. But I also think that teams might
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: be finally doing the Fred Paul thing like, don't just
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: rush to find them the first guy WI every winks
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: right right, you know, do a do an exhaustive search.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, as an ancillary thing, um,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the climate I think is also playing a role.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I think teams are also going to be very vigilant
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: and m make sure that they get minority hires and
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: minority interviews. Um, it's a huge spotlight right now around
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the league that there's only Mike Tomlin is the only
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: blackhead coach left right yea, So I think a lot
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: of teams are going to be hesitant to just run
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: out and do something quick and then therefore get yourself,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you know, caught up in I'm not complaining about it.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, I think it's I think it's smart, Fred,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: and I have said this forever, like why do you
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: have to feel compelled to hire a guy while the
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: guy that might be the best candidate is still coaching?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: And I think I think I've said this before too,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: And I wish that there would be a rule kind
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: of like free agency. You know, there's a start date
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: to free agency, so you and you even have like
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: the three days of the you know, legal tampering, fine,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: but there's an actual start time to free agency. There
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: should be a start time to head coach and GM hiring,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: and that should be as soon as the Super Bowl ends,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: like at that point, Okay, now you can start your
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: interviews and do it like make it fair for all
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: thirty two teams. Well, I I hear what you're saying,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: but like the teams that for most of the time,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: the teams that are looking for coaches are bad teams. Sure,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I'm all forgiving them as much a head start as possible,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I want, you know, like as the commissioner.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I want all my teams to be good, you know,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: so if I can elevate bad teams because they identified
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: a guy that they think is great and they want
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: to hire them right away, get a head start the season,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: let them do it, Let him do it. I hear
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: that point too. I don't know, I just feel like
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: it should. It feels like the NFL likes to have like,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: um specific seasons, like specific things like February is combined
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: mind right, Also like like the Draft is in April,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the schedule comes out in May, you got your mini
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: camps in jar should be super Bowl then coaching coaching
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: and yeah, exactly, Yeah, I like that point too. Yeah,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I think I think they should sometimes. I think they
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: should at least put some sort of if you don't
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: want to wait all the way to the end of
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I think there should be at least
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: some grace period where there's no interviewing. Um. But it's
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: never gonna happen, so, I mean, because I also think
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: it's unfair, Like you know, day Ball, you mentioned his name.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that, like, up until this past weekend,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: was still like focused on putting a game plan together
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: in a job like, how can you focus on having
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: an interview and thinking like, oh, my life's about to change.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna become a huge millionaire and I'm gonna have
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: my own team, and oh, but I also have to
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: help my team win here. And maybe that's that's where
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: your agent comes in and says to the team and
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: you can't avoid, but you can't avoid he's interested. Just
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: hold on, right, which is why I think that the
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: league should say to all the teams, hold on, wait
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: till the Super Bowl ends, then do while you're interviewing
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and hiring. Yeah, but that doesn't stop that problem because
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: like Brian Dable, whether you're able to interview him or not,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: is still thinking about the possibilities of being He might
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: be thinking about it, but like if he has an
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: interview scheduled, that takes that's time being taken away from
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the current job that he has. You know, I just
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: think there's something to be said for I'll be having
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: it having that period start for everybody, just like free agency,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: just like the draft. Yeah, I mean, I'd be curious
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: after set out if there was more focus on offensive
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: coaches than defensive coaches. You know, I just a lot
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: of these offenses. Are these you know guys obviously dable,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: he's developed a quarterback and coming off this weekend, it's
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: all anyone wants to talk about, is you know, having
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: that quarterback that you know that that can play that
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: way and you know it's it's not not not to
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: you know, compare him to Draw Mayo. But just as
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you know, a defensive coach example, it's you know, it's
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: you at least as an owner might look at that
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: and say, this guy's gonna get us on the track
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: to winning offensively. Then defense, even if he puts together
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: the best defense in the whole league, we still have
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: to face you know, I don't know. I just I
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: wonder if this is going to carry over in And
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: ideally they wouldn't worry about either one of those things.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Ideally that you just one guy who you're looking for,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: a guy who can command, yes, the presence, can you
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: be a leader? Can you run my organization? And that's
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the thing, Paul, I mean, forget about the XS and os.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: We assume that anyone that's risen to that level knows football.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: It's what do you do at three in the morning
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: when the guy gets arrested? What do you you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: how do you how do you form your organization? How
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: are you gonna you know, build up your personnel department.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: It's all the other, all of those things, all the other.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: You know, how do you get up in front of
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: your team and do you have their ear? Like are
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: they on board? Are they following you? Yeah? And I
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: think that too many of these guys are not ready
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: for that. Now, Like to Mike's point, like you have
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: some good young offensive you know Sean McVay and you
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: know Shanahan. I think that good young offensive minds maybe
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: lafleur in Zach Taylor are like that, But I don't
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: know how well they do all of those things. Yeah.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Now it certainly looks like McVeigh has an idea. I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: mean he's been pretty successful. Yeah. Now, he also has
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of talent at his disposal. And it's not sure.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I mean they've they've sold out, they're they're winning, and
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: it's worked. I mean it worked. I mean, you can't
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: argue with how they built their team. They've they've been
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: a perennial playoff team. They win in the playoffs consistently,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: They've been to a Super Bowl, they were a game
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: away from another one. Now, maybe they'll ultimately fall short
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: and never win one, but it's not because of the
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: way they built a team. Yeah, you know what I mean,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: they've had success. I wonder how many coaches are like
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: McVeagh where heavily offensive focused and not really that involved
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: in the defense, or how much are they involved in
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the defense. You know, it's just he's had he's had
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: in those defensive coaches. Um, he had Wade Phillips, he
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: had Brennan Staley, and now he's got Raheem Morris. I
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: think right, Um, and they've all done a really good job.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's smart on his on his part, like,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: don't try to be something, don't you know, don't hire
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: some college buddy to run your defense if you don't
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: think he's ready. You have to hire a guy who's
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: been aroun a little bit, and you know that's not
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: your Yeah, right, you know. Wade Phillips was a head coach,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: a veteran guy. Raheem Morris spent some time as a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: head coach in Tampa. He's been around, and Staley was
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: obviously highly thought enough after being his coordinator to get
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: a head coaching job. It's funny about Raheem Morris. I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: was just hearing they were talking about him this weekend
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: on one of the talking head shows that might have
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: been Countdown or whatever, and whoever was doing the talking
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: about him said that they had talked to Raheem Morris,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and he admitted that when he had got the Tampa job,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: obviously he took it because you know, it's a great opportunity,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: but he was so young and experienced as far as
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: being in charge of an organization that he looks back
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: on it and thinks, like, oh man, so many mistakes.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I made, so many things I could have done so
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: much better. And like, I think that's a cautionary tale
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: to any of these teams that just think, well, I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: want to get the next shot, hot shot young guy,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and like, okay, he may be a hot shot on offense,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: but does he know all these other things that we
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: were just talking to out because those are important, you know,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Like if you're a hot shot twenty nine year old
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: coach and you know of the raiders and you get
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: a phone call it like you said at three in
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: the morning, and they said, um, yeah, your star wide
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: receiver just committed a real bad thing. What are you
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: gonna do how do you deal with how do you
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: deal with that? Right? Yeah? Yeah? And and Hardbaugh probably
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: the other example of a special teams coach who you
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: know certainly has had good coordinators. Has you know what
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: they've done with Lamar Jackson, whether you believe in it
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: or not. I mean, at least he you know, is
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: able to oversee it and make a significant shift while
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: you know, still being the head figure. It's still a
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: little bit of a throwback, like like Bill is all right,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: M eight five five, pats five hundred. It's the a
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: stick at hut Line web radio at Patriots dot com
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: is the email address. Let's uh hear what the listeners
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: have to say? Reno and Tennessee has been holding on?
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: What's up? Reno? Hey, hey talking to the phone? What's
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: that girl? Uh, you're a little muffled. What's going on? Okay?
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Probably do something talking to Charlie Brown's parents. Can hear
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: me better? Now? Much better? Yeah? Okay, Hey guys, um,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I have a few comments and then maybe an argument.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe let's see how you guys feel about what my
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: opinion is. Just for him. The first off by saying
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: tomorrow's my birthday. I would love a shout out just
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: so I could show my brother. Okay, shout out to
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Reno birthday. All right, Yeah, and a couple of comment Uh. Actually,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I'll start off with the my opinion that may start
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: an argument. Uh, I know. I I preface this by
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Will saying I think Aaron Rodgers is one of the
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks of all times. I just hate him as
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: a person, at least who he is to the media. Uh,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: he's elite. But can we finally say that he's not
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: clutched enough in the playoffs? I mean evidence would say that. Yeah.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's Yeah, I think that's a widely held belief. Yeah, yep, Okay,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: So like I'm not being dumb or I just thought
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: maybe it's because I was being spoiled by having Brady
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: noms all my life. You're right, he I think talent wise,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: he's unbelievable. He's off the charts many so why has
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: anyone first? Yeah, and the stat against San Francisco is
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: amazing too. Over four against San Franco in the playoffs, right, right,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: It's not like San Francisco came in. It's such a
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: good team. I know, well this one, but he has
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Oh the losses have been in San Francisco. San Francisco
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: was a better team. Yeah, okay, so no argument there
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: arena okay. And the other comment about the overtime you
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: guys talked about it in the beginning. Isn't like, I know,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: people want to change the roles, but isn't football offense
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and defense? Forard Are Isn't the defense supposed to stop
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: him no matter who gets the kick off? Yeah? How
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: did Kansas Cities do? I mean? That's I mean, I
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: get that they're both defense has played lazy, it's really bad.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: And but yeah, I mean a man that can stop them,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the artist. Yeah, I mean, I don't
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: think anybody. I don't think even the most Art and
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Chiefs fan would say if they had lost the coin
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: toss that the outcome would have been yeah, the same. Yeah,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: So I think I think Paul, I think the coin
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: toss winner was going to win that game. Yeah. I
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: think that's the point I think Paul's making is each
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: both defenses were equally bad, but then the coin floss
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: toss becomes such a factor. You know, but what's the
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: pointy continuing on the game, If no matter who gets
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: the coin becomes a game of attrition. Right, Well, well
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: if somebody makes a mistake, maybe maybe someone scores with
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: thirteen seconds left and doesn't allow the other team to
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: score in that thirteen seconds and they win because there's
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: a time. That's true. There's a time eliment, right, it's
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: horrible defense and thirteen seconds that's true. Right? Yeah, all right, Rino,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Uh, let's go to Brian in Indiana. Hey, Brian,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: some shots at Buffalo there? What's up? Brian? Very deuced
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: like hello? Whatever? Ban? All right, great weekend and football. Uh.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I was with Duce with the hate watching. I hate
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: watching two games Green Bay saying Fran and then Casey.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I hate Kansas City, but I hate them because they're good. Yeah,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: but Duce hated both teams equal. Yeah, that's the difference.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: You can take my Patriot Nation card if you want to.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I've been rooting for Buffalo since they came in and
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: passed us in that last game. At some point you
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: have to give it up. I mean, what's the harm
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: we've been you know, it's a legend. Have we been
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: beating these guys for twenty years? It's the harm and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: then winning now, you know? So I've been openly rooting
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: for Buffalo. And I know Fred ain't gonna like this,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: but since Snagi two and I and I can't. I
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: can't wait to listen to Paul Station today, Paul Show.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear grab Bagdar twist itself in
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: the pretzel about how Josh Allen messed this game up.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you my prediction, Brian,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: because I talked about this was my brother, You're gonna
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: come up with something. Part. Yeah, there's gonna be two things.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: He's gonna say. Number one, he's gonna say he didn't
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: win the game. He didn't win the game. Yeah, yeah,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, and you know what, you can't argue with that.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, if that, if that, if he want to
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: make it that simplistic, then no argument. And then he didn't.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: The other part is he's gonna he's gonna rail against
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: how bad Kansas City's defense played and they made it easy.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, that's one of them games I watched enough.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I ain't y'all, I'm not a dog. I don't break
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: down film have y'all have a greater knowledge of that
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: game than I ever have. Because y'all have been close
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: to it for so long. That's one of them games.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: It looked to me like you could have transferred one
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: of them defenses and put the eighty five Bears out.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: There was nothing gonna change. That's that was just a
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: track meet and the that's one of them. As y'all say,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: the game declared himself and he got to the point
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: where no defense was going to stop anybody. That's that's
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the way. That's certainly the way the game ended in
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: that last two minutes. I actually thought there was periods
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: of time in the second and quarter that both defenses
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: did a I mean, you do realize that fourth and
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: thirteen play that takes place with one fifty four left.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Let's just say for argument's sake, Josh Allen overthrows him
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: and it's incomplete or stumbles, because that game ends twenty
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: six twenty one, right right right right right, like you know,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: everything that happened from that playoff made two to thirty six,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: right like it would have ended twenty six twenty one,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: and you would have been like, I actually, you know
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: like that. The offenses were good, but the defenses made
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: some Yes, I mean I thought Kansas City did get pressure.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: They did. Oh, they both teams had pressure on the
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: quarterback the whole game, but they until the last thirteen
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: seconds Buffalo just to side. And that's where like, like
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: I know, like you know, the eighty five Bears were
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: type of defense than you're seeing today, but they could
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: get pressure on a quarterback. And then now they look
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: at even the Ravens of two thousand. I mean, with
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: ray Lewis in this, like, I've never seen a more
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: sure tackling team than that. They never missed a tackle.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I think they would have had, you know, some success.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's funny you bring that up, Paul, about that
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: fourth and thirteen play, because when it was happening live,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: my heart almost went in my throat because he kind
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: of stumbled in the back of the ends on the
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: way he was twisting to make the catch, and I thought,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: oh my god, is he gonna be Is he gonna
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: drop this after getting so wide open? Right, and he
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: kind of kept his feet in bounds, But I was like,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to end it that way would have been just tragic.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I was already thinking, Okay, so there's one fifty four left,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Buffalo still had all three timeouts. I was like, if
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: this is incomplete. They got to find a way to
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: get a three and out and then have one final chance.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: That's the way I would because the fourth and thirteen,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, I wasn't thinking they were going to convert that.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: I just I just can't understand. And white defenses have
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: nothing left in playoff over time games like I just
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: I like, you know, Brady Atlanta, right down the field.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. I mean the field because but
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: those big games, and I've heard like Ted Johnson and
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: other players say this, teams get so jacked up into
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: that game and they just they just spend all their
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: gas early. Then when I think, then you add in
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: like the conditions, like when it's really cold, your body's
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: working harder to keep yourself warm, and you're using more
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: energy than you normally would even if I mean though
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: those are probably science kind of related facts that that
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't argue with and certainly wouldn't argue with a
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: player who's been through it. I just think it's the
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: offenses are generally better than the defenses, and you're only
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: gonna hold them down so long. So the longer the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: game goes, the advantage goes more and more to the
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: offense because they're better. And I think that's what happened
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: in that game, and it happens in a lot of games. Um.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: But I also think do get warned, especially when you're
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: playing against Alan or Mahomes where you're running all over
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the play, I think you get worn down. And I
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: also think that the depth on defense, I think that
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: there's a bigger gap because again, I think the offense
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: is better suited to overcome the loss of personnel because
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: they're better than I know. It didn't really show up
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: until this game, but Buffalo really missed Tradevious White in
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, you know, because they hadn't. They didn't
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: play any good quarterbacks down the stretch, you know, was
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Matt Ryan, mac Jones, mac Jones, mac Jones.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: They didn't play any good quarterbacks down the stretch. So
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: they didn't really get affected by losing their best player
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: on defense on Sunday. They were affected by it. Yeah,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Kansas City lost Matthew early. That was a huge loss
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: to Kansas City. And that's something your boy bring up,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: probably something like that. But I'm gonna I'm almost I
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: almost want to listen just to hear him say, did
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: they win. Williams and Philliam, what's up? William? William fill
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: them up? Will will will yam will I am every
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: time with him. Well, it's you and Hardy, all right,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: you and Hardy have a hard time getting the listeners.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: We'll go from Philadelphia to Baltimore. Rashad, what's up? Quick? Little?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say, I definitely enjoyed the games this weekend.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: But you gotta, I mean, you gotta love the Bills
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: like that you got. I don't. I do I love that.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, I don't like it. No, I don't.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Why you a Bills fan now? Eric? No, I just
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: like I'm I'm a fan of the game. Okay, I
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: like seeing I have to care. I do have to
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: admit with all the bad like the flat out bad
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: guys on Kansas City, I was kind of rooting for Buffalo. Yeah,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: how can you not? Like? You know, like that's it
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: was a very little impact on my dad. I didn't care,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: you know. I found I found joy in watching clenched
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: jaw McDermott on the sideline and then and then when
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: they thought they had won it with thirteen seconds, there
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: was this long haired guy that like jumped on the place.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: That guy was all over the broadcast was like the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: hype man. All I could think about with Steve Bell
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: the whole time, and he was every time they showed
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: the Bill sideline, it was him. Yeah, he's like all
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: over and McDermott's like, you know, get off of I'm
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: gonna get I'm gonna make a prediction assistant special Teams.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: One question, I guess it was about coaching. Y'all talk
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: about Josh McDaniels, but if if he were to leave,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: do you think uh day will go up to Bill
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: O'Brien maybe to come back. Oh, Bill O'Brien could be
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: the head coach of Jacksonville, right, aren't they interested in him?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: He's got an interview something he's in. He's been making
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: the rounds. Yes, I don't know if he's going to
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: get a job, but yeah, yeah, I mean, and I
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: would be if he doesn't get a job, I would
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: definitely be interested in. I just hung off, like my answer, Well,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: that's that's what Eastcall and I were trying to figure
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: out yesterday, was how long the overlap was of Bill
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: O'Brien coming into Alabama and Mac Jones leading. It was like, yeah,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Mac taught him the offense. Yeah, yeah, Mac taught Bill
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: O'Brien the Alabama offense last offseason. I'm thinking Mac had
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: enough on his plate last offseason, like getting ready for
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: the draft. How did it? How did he teach Bill
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: O'Brien the offense? I didn't understand that, somebody wrote One
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: of our colleagues wrote that in one of their weekend columns.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who Patty's an agawam. What's up, Patty? Patty? Patty? Oh? Todd,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, Todd, you're right, Hey, guys, you guys hit
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: my question for the day. I was trying to think
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: of what would be a good all right, all right,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: it was Bill with tires this year out of the blue.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: You have the opportunities to get any coach that's available
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, or any coach in the NFL period.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Who would you go after? Now? My answer was, originally
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: I was thinking John Harbaugh because I just like his
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: coaching style and how he does. But I think I
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: might want somebody younger, like maybe DeMott, somebody I mean McVeagh, McVeigh,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: not him. I would take McVeigh. Yeah, I like him. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: you want I think I'd want an offensive minded coach.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: That's what I would want, you know. And the last
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: question is who which coach currently in the league has
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: won more than two Super Bowls? Which coach in the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: league currently has won as a head coach or just
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: a head coach? Cool? Tomlin's only one? Right? Or did
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: he have two? Does he have tooka had the first one? Okay?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Is that just Bill as to think of? Just Bill?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's the answer, Bill, and not just really interesting. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: because I think it's hard to find really good coaches.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: And when you have it, even if you have a
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: really good coach, you need the really good quarterback. Or
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: you had the Patriots in blocking everyone right at that time,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: I mean you had Tom Brady, the greatest players ever
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: played the game, when you won six titles? Yeah, I
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: got it, got you? Yeah? Yeah, much like when he
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: left all right, became a great head coach. Briefly, Tony's
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: in Yarmouth. What's up, Tony? I have a solution for
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: the overtime do away with the coin flip? Okay, whoever's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: the last team that has the ball? And in this
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: weekend's game, with Kansas City winning on the last play
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: of the game, then they kick off if they have
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: the ball at the end of over At the end
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: of regulation, one team has the ball, just continue on,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: give them some more time outs, but just continue on.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: That eliminates the coin flip. And then then in overtime
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: you have to you do the same rules. If somebody
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: scores a touchdown, it's over. Well, the thing about that,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. The thing about that, I know,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: but it completely changes the way games end because you know,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: now you're you're up against the clock in you know,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: if you know that, hey, I don't have to worry
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: about the clock at the end of the game. It
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: completely changes the game. So I'm not sure that works
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: well if if a lot of these games are ended
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: on the last play of the game, right, Okay, So
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: in this case, Kansas City field goal ties to game,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: they instead of slipping the coin, they would kick off
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: the buffalo. I know, but think about it like this. Okay,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: let's say I'm down by two, or let's say I'm
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: down by five and there's fifty seconds left. Now I
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: have fifty seconds in which to try to score a touchdown.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: In your scenario, I don't oh, no, I'm sorry, it's tied.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: It's tied. So but in your scenario, if it's tied,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I have fifty seconds in which to win the game.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: But I don't now I have all the time in
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: the world in which to win the game, right right.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's fair to the defense. You do
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: you you do have often. I don't agree with his
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: objection to that rule, no, because I just don't understand
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: why you can't just keep playing football. Why I can't
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: you just play I'm with you, like it's the same
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: at the end of the second quarter, But how long
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: are you're gonna keep playing for? I told you one
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: quarter until somebody But that's that's not fair, that's why?
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Is that not even less fair? Until somebody wins? Well,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: what do you mean by somebody wins? Is it sudden
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be timed for a period? Whoever gets
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: more points in a time period fifteen minutes? All? What
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: if he had shortened it? What do we did seven
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: and a half? Because that's one pos you could have
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: one possession seven and a half. That's the thing. Uh,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: just a little news to say. It looks like the
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Vikings and Bears have both found their targets for gm
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, Vikings, Quesse, Adolpho Mensa okay yea, and the

  Speaker 1: It sounds like she sent it off. It's like works. No,

  Speaker 1: Eight five five past five hundred is the Ace ticket
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: hotline web radio at Patriots dot com. Is the email address.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Lots of emails coming in. Uh let's go to Mike
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: and Charlotte. He says, one thing that jumped out at
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: me this weekend is how open some of these receivers
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: were compared to the Patriots. It just seems like our
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: receivers don't have the ability to get separation consistently. Is
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: it me or do you guys agree? I think it's
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: just the offense as a whole. I mean, don't think
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: you know that certainly there they could use some improved athleticism,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: but I mean these are just awesome quarterbacks with elite
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: weaponry and fitting balls into tight spaces and mean when
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: they have to. Yeah, I don't know. I agree with Mike.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's more about what happens after the catch
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: than anything else, you know. I think there's been plenty
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: of examples where the Patriots have been why. I think
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: their schemes are excellent and they get open a lot,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: but not for the dynamic kind of plays that we
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: saw this and some of these guys are wide open.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: But a lot of that is you're so spread out
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: as a defense, and it's so hard to defend. You
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: make mistakes, you screw up coverage, you know, because you
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: have to think so much, so hard where's that guy?
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Where's march? Follow him? And the next thing you know,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: you're in the Rick and Louisville. If the Moron coach
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: for the Bills had kicked it short after taking the
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: lead with thirteen seconds left, we aren't arguing about changing
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: in overtime. Stop whine, or you might be. You guys
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: had every chance to easily leave arrowhead of victor. You
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: want to whine about something, Whine about the little things
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: that you lacked in the last thirteen seconds. If you
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: played the same defense that you played in the last
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: thirteen seconds, you might have been in the same spot
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: because that wasn't going to take up thirteen seconds on
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: a kickoff. So if you did the same thing that
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: you did, you could be in the same spot. You
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: just allow free releases off the line, right, Joe writes,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: in let's face it, they didn't even come close to
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: running out of time. They had three seconds. I know,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't like they didn't even need ten.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable how quickly all that happened. I mean, in fairness,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: he did the same thing to the Patriots in the
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: AFC Championship game in eighteen. I think it was thirty
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: one seconds and they didn't need the thirty one seconds.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: The last fifteen or so of that was trying to
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: win the game, but throws into the end zone. If
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: you recall, Yeah, yeah, Joe says, I always hate watched
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: the Kansas City versus Buffalo game. However, I took great
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: pleasure watching the Bills lose. They played we are the
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: champions last week after beating US, and I guess they
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: thought they had already won their Super Well, I agree, Joe,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: right with you. My question I have is do we
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: think Tom will ever meet or have an offseason work
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: out with Mac? I imagine no, but would be cool
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: if Tom gave Max some pointers in the offense. And
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's happening. How about now, I mean,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: if Mac wants to sign up for TV twelve maybe
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: then then yeah, now you're talking. Yeah, A good point
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: business a little something for Tom, you know. Yeah. I
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: saw a statu over the weekend that the you know,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: the final four quarterbacks, three of them were once the
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: highest paid player in the league, Stafford Garoppolo, and I
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: think Mahomes is currently the highest paid player in the league.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: So for the you can't pay your quarterback crowd. There's that,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: there's Hope kennon New Jersey. There's a lot of talk
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: that the Patriots with Mac Jones simply won't be able
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: to compete with Mahomes, Alan Burrow, Herbert, etc. In the
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: coming years. Certainly this competition is fierce, but the future
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: is so hard to predict. Injuries to scrunt the players,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: coaching changes will have their effect. Let's see what the
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: next two three years. Let's hope bring things changed quickly
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Lamar Jackson was the MVP just two
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, and Antonio Brown wants to go play
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: with him? Do you hear that? I mean, that's supposed
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: to be a point in your favorite Lamar Jackson was
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: the MVP a couple Lamar Jackson got hurt. Okay, it happens.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: But but trends do change in the NFL. You know,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: five six years, is that really what you want to
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: bank on? Like the other teams will all collapse so
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: we can get back to where we want to be?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Is that is that the plan? Hopefully like Kansas City
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: won't be able to handle it, even though this is
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: the fourth year in a row they're hosting the AFC
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Championship Game. Hopefully one of these years they won't be
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: able to handle success. Yeah, that's what we're hoping for now.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: But I don't think it's reasonable to expect that those
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: teams can, you know, stay at this high level. That's
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: you know, that's another thing. I think they've already done it.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: They've Gotta City has already done it. Are they gonna
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: do it for twenty years? Probably not. Andy Reid's not
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: going to coach for twenty years. They're not gonna do
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: it for twenty They've already proven that is wrong. Four
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: years in a row. They're hosting the ANFC Championship Game. Like,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: we can pray that they're gonna fall apart, but it's
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Enrique from Monterey, Mexico. So I always
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: analyze why do other fans hate New England so much?
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: It is hard to see it when you're a fan
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: of that hated team, But now I think I know it.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: In my case, I really really dislike Kansas City, and
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: yesterday it hit me, of course, they hated how we
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: pulled out games out of our rear end Divisional game
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: versus Oakland AFC Championship Game versus Baltimore and eleven, Malcolm
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Butler's interception down twenty eighth three, etc. Kansas City yesterday
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: showed me why the same hate fans had for Tom
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: I feel it from Mahomes. Now I get it. They win. Yeah,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: that's what happens. I don't hate Kansas City. I just
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: hate Patrick Mahomes's look and his girlfriend. I don't know,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: they're a really good team. I just I don't know
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: how you can watch that that game and unless you're
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: a total partisan fan not appreciate just that. Like that's
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: the way. I don't think that people hate the Patriots
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: for a game like what Kansas City did. I think
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: it's like when if you hate the Patriots going in,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: you're predisposed to be rooting against the Patriots and Lee
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Evans drops a pass that would have won the game,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: or Marshawn Lynch doesn't run the ball in from the
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: one yard line and said they throw the ball and
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: he gets picked up. Yeah, it's like Brady, like you know,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, forget Atlanta. I could give you seventeen examples there,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Brady throwing a touchdown pass and you know, to win
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: a game at the end. That's greatness. Like, I don't
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: think people were rooting against Kansas City Sunday and they're
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: rooting against the Patriots, I'm sure, But I don't look
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: at Mahomes and what he did Sunday and say that's
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: why I hate them. No, And I think a lot
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: of people are rooting against teams like Kansas City because
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: they we all the time, right because they want to
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: see something different, and the Bills are something new, something different,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: And which was kind of why I was rooting for Buffalo.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't care. I really didn't. I didn't hate watch,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: I promise you God, No, I was light, I was loving,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: but I was kind of rooting for Buffalo just to
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: see a different team. Yeah, And just like right now,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want it to be San Francisco in Kansas
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: City because we just had that two years ago. Same
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks too, h Dexter and Santa Rosa. For God to
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: fix the overtime rule, I think they should start overtime
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: with these rules. A field goal initiates sudden death regardless
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: of possession order similar to what is now, except not
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: just the first possession. A field goal initiates sudden death. Yeah,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Now, the next rule
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: would make overtime more its sighting and fair. The first
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: touchdowns scored in overtime starts a process where the team
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: has a decision to either go for one or two.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: If they go for two and succeed, the game is over.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to read it. Sorry, I
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: don't why. I don't know why it has to be
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: so complicated. Yeah I did. It's intriguing. The Sophie's choice one.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: Have you heard this one? No? If you flip a
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: coin a line behind the door, you flip a coin, right.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: The winner of the coin flip gets to choose where
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: the ball starts, so they can say the thirty five,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: the one yard line. The other team gets to choose
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: whether they want to start an offense or defense. So
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: it's a sophie like I could say, I want it
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: on the one yard line, Okay, we want to be
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: on defense. Then I want on the thirty five. You know,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit more of a choice there, But
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: that's it's interesting game, the game stuff going on there.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: I don't playing. I just like to play. I mean,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: I'm I am one of these people. That's strange, you Bill,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: I like football, you would bill, right, like the normal
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: flow of the game and the calls, and I like football,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: and I would like to see Yeah, let let the game.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: I've never really liked the college over time. I mean,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: I can be just like everybody else and excited to
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: watch it, but it's not really football to me. Yeah,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: and not the same play. And like, at some point
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: one of the defenses was probably gonna make a play
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: if in that scenario, right, It's like, I don't think
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: it would be sustainable to expect both of those quarterbacks
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: to keep doing that for an extra half an hour.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Let's say, right, at some point, somebody's gonna make a
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: play on one side of the other, and the game
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: is gonna end. But let it be a regular football play.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna do the conversion thing, then do it
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: the way they do it. And if they score a touchdown,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: make them go for two, and then the other team
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: matches it, they have to go for two. And if
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: it stays eight, and then we keep going. But it's
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: real football. It's not twenty five yards right, right, I
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: would just take kicking out so it's even more real football.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, Freddy, we got some problems with them over here.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Why are you on your phone? My email? It keeps
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: coming in and out, so I was just checking the
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: phone email. Yeah. I just liked the idea of playing
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: some semblance of what they did for the previous sixty minutes.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: And that's why I just think if you add a quarter,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: I think at least it's it's the closest replication. Yeah,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: there's nothing perfect. I get it. You're playing for a
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: long time. I don't know. Yeah, I mean hockey does
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: it and they go six over times, you know, like
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: soccer did it for you know, the playoffs. No more
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: golden boot or whatever it is, golden goal. You play
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: the you play the half. But hockey, if someone scores,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: it could be over in ten seconds or it could
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: go three days. Bill and DC. After watching this weekend's game,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: particularly the one involving the quarterback who's going to be
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: in our division for the next decade, I've done a
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: complete one eighty on what the Patriots offseason needs should be.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: Forget spending eighteen million on JC Jackson. He's good, but
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: not great, and better cornerbacks were getting torched all weekend.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: It's time to fight fire with fire and take that
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: cap money. And go after at least one premier receiver
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: and give Mac a fighting chance against the wattles and
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: chases and digs of the AFC. Clearly, offense rules in
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and for the Patriots to have a chance
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: of success, they need better weapons than what they have now.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Right now, we're bringing a knife to a gunfight. Yeah,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: those are I mean two of the three guys are
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: you know, in their first or second year, So you know,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: I think you can do it in the draft. I
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: want I want to get guys that are gonna stick
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: with Mac. I don't want to sign a you know,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: a guy to a two year deal and then you
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: know he's in and out. Like I just I think
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: you signed some free agents last year and they give
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: you kind of a baseline of guys who understand the offense,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: who are gonna be able to work with Mac. Now
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: you build from there, build the draft. You draft somebody
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: now in the first round four years, he's with Mac Jones,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: you know, assuming they get the fifth year offenal quick.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: But Efron says, why is there no talk of firing
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators? Are they worried that Bill Belich might
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: leave if they fire his son, some somebody. Yeah, somebody
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: needs to be held accountable for the forty seven seventeen disaster. Yeah,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. Yeah, I just that's I
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean that's I saw red. What did
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: I read? Just like the whole thing of how much
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: Bills had in the defense and all that, And he
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: came in and he came out and then he went
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: back again. A part of you it was almost hoping that,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: like Mayo gets hired, so we'll just forced their hand
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: to like spin it up a little bit. They're hoping that, yeah,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: to to that way. They don't, you know, it's like
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: their thing of don't do anything till you have to, um,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: but they need to hire somebody, somebody. Just three years
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: in a row, you haven't had a defensive coordinator, somebody
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: you've had aside from last year, you've just the defense
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: has not gotten better. It's it's fallen apart in the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: biggest moments. And I think Nikovich was making that point
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: last week of that like that, we've been saying, you've
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: got to have somebody who's accountable at that spot and
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: know on defense, so someone you can look to some
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: of the all the players can look to and say, Okay,
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: we're taking the orders from him. You know, it's a personality.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Take it on. You look at like Wink Martindale, You're
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: like Brian Pole looks like he's twenty one, a young kid.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: Huh yeah, oh my god. Uh. Robert and Scotstale writes
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: in the problem with games that go down to the
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: wire is they greatly increase the impact of bad officiating
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: flagging a bleeding and irate Brady after they miss. Miller's
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: chin shot was a thirty yard swing. The cuss Tampa
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: at least three points. Meanwhile, Taunting's poster child, Tyreek Hill
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: is allowed a sixty five yard touchdown when the rule
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: was no touchdown. In Kansas City Ball on the Buffalo thirty,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: I don't that would not have been the call. While
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: these might have been a touchdown and a fifteen yard
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: penalty on the kickoff right. While these errors didn't solely
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: decide the games, the purest subjective enforcement of this rule
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: is another black guy for Roger. I hope Tom returns,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: because even with a depleted offense and a one point
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: three winning percentage in the third quarter, the impossible was
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: possible if not for that history Workley awful blitz call.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: No matter what the uniform, He's still Tom effing Brady.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: Well that's for sure. Well, at least the defense was
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: no argument about four fumbles. Uh, let's turn back to
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: the phones. The ACEH ticket outline. Mike's in Texas. What's up, Michael? Hi? Guys? Hey,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: I called him once before, a long time listener. I
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: called Hi into a couple of weeks ago. I think
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I was the one talking about Robert Draft in the
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: twenty years of excellence. This time I'm calling about and
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, Paul, I agree with you completely. It's
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: you take Bill Belichick as the head coach and as
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: the general manager. Right, And so Bill Belichick as a
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: head coach has won six super Bowls. As a general manager,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: he's won six super Bowls. But I know we've had
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: ongoing discussions about the drafts over the last few years
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: and the poor drafting. And it used to be the
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: word was that Bill Belichick was always willing to get
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: rid of a player a year early versus a year late.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: And what we've seen he's bringing bad players that have
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: already been gone and bringing him back, and the team
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: has gotten really old. But I think that part of
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: it comes from build the general manager, and those period
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: where we had you know, uh, poor drafting. Yep. I mean,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: did you're making an argument for that? Absolutely? Yeah. And
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: we talked about it, like, you know, is impatience something
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: that hurt them? And you know, maybe the pressure to
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: get back into the playoffs with so much that Bill said,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: I can't afford to have all these young guys. I
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: gotta get some guys that have been there before that
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: at least. You know, I liked your theory so much
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: I stole it on Wednesday. Oh yeah, last week. Okay,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: I did I agree with Yeah? I just there's there
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: I just there's no balance. You know. He's just you
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: brought exactly the guys back. You brought the exact team back,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: and they did exactly what they did two years ago.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: So no, it's just it's it's the lack of ouch,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: of that not being Oh you know, if Ouch was
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: a hit and you're working him in with these guys
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: and now you're facing high tower free agency, you're saying, well, hey,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: we got a young second round pick who's played a
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: third year. He should be he's ready to go, you know,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't think anybody's making that case for any
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: of those guys on the you know, on the second level,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: with Jennings and Uch and Winivich, etc. Perkins. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: that's so. I think I pull that this year was
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: really a reload, not a rebuild. But I think we're
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: moving into the rebuild period because I mean, otherwise we're
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: gonna have the same result that we've had this past year. Yeah,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: I think they start They started it, but I don't
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: think it's even close to being done. And Mike and
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: I were talking about this this morning. I think there
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: was a lot of work still to be done, and
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: the least of which I mean most important is mac Jones.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Like he needs to be really good if it's gonna work.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: But even if he is really good, there's a lot
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: of work to do to get the roster up to
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: where you see these other teams. And I think the
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: rebuild started as soon as Tom left, honestly, I mean, well, yeah,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: the first step was to comin, like to sort of
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: bottom out and reset. Yeah, and then they went out
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: and spent all the money when they reset, But it
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't going to happen in one season. But well, because
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: they didn't get it right. That's why it's not happening.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: I think they missed on too many guys. But okay,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: do you believe like, because a lot of people think
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: in order to rebuild you have to bottom out more
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: than seven and nine, you have to really bottom out.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: But do you believe that you can keep winning and
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: keep competing and rebuild at the same time. Yes, I
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: don't care about the record, but I said they bottomed out.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: I meant cap wise, like they had to get rid
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: of all of that. And I think that Bill said that,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: But I think a lot of they had to get
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: rid of a lot of money. A lot of people
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: equate rebuild with you know, two and fourteen. Well, Bill's
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: too good of a coach for that. Yeah, well that's
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: the thing, you know, so so, but a lot of
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: people think you have to do that or else you're
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: always going to be drafting middle to the bottom of that.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: You could make an argument that, like signing Cam Newton
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: was not a smart move, okay, because you know, you
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: want a couple of games with his ability to run
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: the ball that maybe you would have lost with the
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: same roster. Everything else is the same. Yeah, Now, you
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: could make that argument, but you're not gonna go too
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: and fourteen with Bill Belichick as your coach. I mean,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: there's always going to be a Jets to beat twice
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: in a Houston to beat, in a Jacksonville to beat. Yeah,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be teams that can't compete with you, and
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: you have the better coach, So you're gonna lose. That's
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Like you can't go, He's not going
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: too and fourteen. But you know, like you know the
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: other phrase you hear is you know, they gotta tear
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: it down to the studs. That's what they did last year.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: They tore it down to the studds. Well in a way,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: but not really, No, they did, Yeah, they did offensively offensively.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: I mean Tayshaun Bauer in Terres Hall like this, this
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: was the front seven, Like this is what I'm saying, Like, well,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: there was the front seven because High Tower opted out
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: and you know there was other conditions that So, I mean,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: what is High Tower were gonna do last year? You
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: guys all want to get rid of him. I'm just
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: saying he would have been playing last year, would have
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: been no. But but there were other guys that were
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: playing because you just had nothing. It was Lawrence guy
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: and nothing right pretty much pretty much. Yeah, I mean
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: that's what you had up front last year. I mean
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: you went out and signed a bunch of guys. I
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: don't know how good they are, but they're like Devon Gotcha,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: I think was not good. But he's an NFL player
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: like Tayshaun Bauer, you know love you mean it works hard,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: tries hard, not really an NFL player like That's that's
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: the difference between what you had last year and this year.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: And Bau was just an example. He wasn't a front
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: line player. He came up and he filled in down
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: the stretch whatever. I know, he was just the name
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: that popped into my head. But still he was one
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: of representative of many of those kind of guys that were,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: you know, over extended, like even teacher wise. I mean
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: he came back, but he doing a ton. They worked hard,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: I think trying to find some young guys that maybe
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: and I think terres Hall is a guy that maybe
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: did impress them a little bit. And I don't know what.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what his injury is, why he was
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: out and seeing him all year, but I do think
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: they kind of liked his physicality last year, so they
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: stripped it. They stripped it down to the stunt. I
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: just want to get it clear on everyone's opinion, it's
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: still possible to compete for the playoffs and rebuild a team.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that's true? I think yeah, yes, in
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: that league, GEO, because I mean, you know, I mean,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just really getting sick of the term rebuild because
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: we get a lot of questions as if people think
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: that like there's just this easy. Well we're in the
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: year two of the rebuilding, but year four it's the
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. Yea button over here. All you have to
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: do is push that, right, you're rebuilding in two years,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: you're retitle. And I hate that thirty time constraints, Like people,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: we get all these emails in our inbox from for
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: SPFWS and the you know, give me a time frame
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: on the number in that league? Can in that league?
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: There is no time frame r Right, it could be automn,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: it could be immedia, right, And there's been how many
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: teams go from from last to first in that league? Right? Well,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: just like the Bengal two years ago, right, And how
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: many teams in the of the thirty two would you
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: qualify as rebuilding, Like, like, you could probably make a
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: case that twenty eight of them are in some kind
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: of rebuild. It's just the way the league is. You're
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: always rebuilding. I just I think every season is its
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: own challenge and trying to just build a team for
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: that season. I agree like long term, but it's all
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: about the draft. It's all about the draft. You get
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones, you don't have all this like money to
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: spend this year. You've got to hit in the draft
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: again this year. I think that's where the focus has
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: to be. But there's no guarantee that any of this
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: is going to add up to bang. You're a see
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: maybe more stout like Cincinnati, they go from two and fourteen,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: They get a quarterback, they get a weapon, they put
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: some pieces in place, and they're in the AFC Championship.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: It can happen like that, but it's it's so floor
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: it happens like some of these other teams, like like
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: look at Cleveland, like they look like, okay, we got
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: our quarterback, we're guys, and all of a sudden circumstances.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: You know, COVID was one issue, but I mean Cleveland
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: had some significant aspirations heading in. But I think I
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: think if there's one lesson we've learned over the last
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: twenty years, not just this weekend, twenty years, if you
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: have a great quarterback, it makes it a hell of
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: a lot ease absolutely everything else a non starter. If
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: you don't have a quarter it's like that is like
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: the bare mimium to get in the party. Do you
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: have a quarter back who can you know, complete some passes,
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: throw some touchdowns, put defenses on their heels a little bit?
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: And I think we saw that at times here and
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: there from Mac in the offense. But they got to
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: be better and I think every Patriots family was reminded
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: of that this weekend watching that game, and everybody's apoplectic.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: But a lot can happen. It's fluid, and you know
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: they've they've got moves to make this year. Uh A
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: sticket helpline eight five five five hundred. Aaron's in Flint, Michigan.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: What's up, Aaron? Hey? What's going on? Voice again? Um?
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: I want to open up with a funny story. I
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: had a Foo Blue TV app during during UH chapionship.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: I mean the visital games, yep, yep, so so I'm
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: watching the game early in the morning. I told the spouse,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting out of bad. I'm gonna watch them
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: ten am to two pm. So I'm watching the network.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: They're talking about the games that's coming on a dove
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: off wake up in the middle of the h the
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: bill being Kansas City Chief game. What I'm cheering and
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: I'm rooting for. I don't want Flow the win at all,
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: so I'm cheering from my home to and now I
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: get into the little the second quarter and realized I'm
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: watching a replay because I was gonna say, you were
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: watching it ten in the morning, you dozed off and
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: you woke up at like eight at night. Yeah, I
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: thought they were playing first, you know. I was okay,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: you didn't realize that it was you still light out.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: You know. It's funny, he said this. I saw it
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: on the guide that they were replaying that game during
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: they did, and I thought to myself, what kind of
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: a weird choice. It's the exact same game that's happened.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody because for a second I was like, wait,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: it's on NFL. I had the same like but they
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: got somebody scrapped. That sounds like the Ferrara story with
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: no hitter, absolutely so so on the Bill Belichick moving
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: forward future. Do you think that and this was after
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: watching Belichick and you know how you guys, you know,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: I listen to you guys long as I've been a
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: Patriot fan. Do you think he's becoming the grumpy old
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: man because he has not changed his game plans and
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: three games now, and that this is just what he's becoming,
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: just a you know, just you know, the grumpy old man. Yeah,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I I hear what you're saying. Like
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: they tried the same thing against Josh Allen. It didn't
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: work the first time. But I don't know if Bill thought,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: like he had many other options, Like as bad as
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: it looked, he probably thought it was gonna look worse
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: if I changed it up, because you know, and I think, yeah,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: I think, I think I think it might have been
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: just an admission that were I loved. I love those
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: We're not suited, We're not suited to beat this guy.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: You know. I just think they threw everything they could
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: at him. They had no answers because they had no
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: players that could win. I agree with you, guys, I
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: just I do. I agree with you, Fred, I think
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: you're right, But I just think it's it's wonderful to
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: be in a position win. No matter what I do,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna say, well, well he did what he
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: thought was best. But but I but now you can
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: blame you know, build the GM for being in that position.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: But I think I go back to when he said
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: we couldn't keep up. It's not just scoring points. They
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: couldn't keep up defensively, couldn't keep up. Yeah, the whole thing,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: both sides. Yeah, and the whole thing. And even if
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: I would put it on personnel and execution, it still
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: goes back to him even you know, I just I
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: just think people complaining about the game plan, that doesn't
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: matter if you don't win. But like the reason I'm
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: pushing back Aaron is, I do think Bill is adapt
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: He can adapt, whether it's within a game or I
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: do think that, like he likes to innovate and he
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: likes to, you know, try things. I don't think he's
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: stuck in his ways. I don't. I really don't. Well,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, but I also think, like after
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: these games against Josh Allen, if there are some interesting
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: moves this year, do you read between the lines and
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: think that that's directly kind of correlating to what they
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: weren't able to do again right right? What he does
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: is this what you know, how how are we going
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: to do this? But I mean, really, I think like
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: having these kind of safety hybrids and you know that
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: that's kind of been his thing over the last five
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: six years. So does it change into something new to
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: deal with this? I don't know. I mean, obviously every
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: defense is struggled on with right now, and I think
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: it's a simple math of eleven on eleven instead of
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: eleven on ten, which is what defenses are used to
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: for most of football. And when you get like thanks
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: for the call, Aaron, when you get like Alan and Mahomes,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: who's so good at running, it's almost like twelve on eleven. Yeah,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: he becomes a passer and a running back at any time,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: extending plays. And how many times did those two guys
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: make plays in the game where they converted a third
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: down with their legs or they did something with their
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: legs that just kept their offense early in the game.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: Mahomes was unbelievable that they had him like three times.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: It was kind of funny because It was kind of
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: like the way Mac had the two plays early in
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: the game against Buffalo, where Mac, you know, had one
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: that he eluded the rush and threw the ball to
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: Henry and another that he ran for the first down himself.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously not the same kind of athlete, even
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: though I know Max faster maybe sub five S five
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: sub five Max faster than Mahomes, I know, but um,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's amazing how you feel like you have the
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: right play. I mean, what do you do on like
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: fourth and three against Buffalo when the big dopey quarterback
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: just takes the ball and says, I'm going to plow
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: over you, right, and you're not going to stop right right?
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, in retrospect for the Bill season,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: and I don't know for sure if this is what
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: they did, but you know, I keep recalling the day
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: after Christmas when Mike declared the game over in the
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: second quarter and was right by the way, Um, and
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: we just kept looking at each other and said, how
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: can you continue to ask this guy to do this
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: every game? And now in retrospect, when I look at
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: the entirety of their season, I think that they said
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: we don't want you to do that. Don't do that
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: for ten or twelve weeks. We'll do it when we
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: have to, because I he played the last six weeks
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: entirely different than he played the first ten. You know,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: in my opinion anyway, just from watching from afar, I
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: didn't see him running like that, not with that kind
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: of power. Um, But I think it emerged too with
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: him taking the checkdowns and not dumping as stupid aggressive too.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: I think that was a development. I kind of saw
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit in his game. I meant, you know,
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: and I mean I think a lot of ways those
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: little swing passes to the running that that became their
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: run game and in our game, in our game two,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: like where those problems for him usually happen, or when
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 1: he's under pressure and he's running trying to avoid a
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: you know, well he was never really under pressure against
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. Uh. Some news out of Buffalo. They're gonna
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: be streaming live the raising of the divisional wind banner.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: So I have a I have a developing thought on Buffalo. Okay, Um,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: what do you think of McDermott. I think he's an okay,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: but I think I think he's a little bit in
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: his own head right now, Well, you kind of spurred
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: something for me. Yeah, what do you guys think of McDermott.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: I think he's a good coach. I think he's fine,
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: But I think a lot of other than that is
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: going to dable for developing Alan And you know, I
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: think he's got a good solid defense h McDaniel like Dermott,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: you've dabled a job. Wow, Well that's that would be
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: a good example of the owners saying we can't let
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: this guy out. Yeah, right, And I'm not sure about
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: the guy that I had right right, Like, if I
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: was I wouldn't worry about the guy Levin, if I
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: thought he was great, if I had Belichick, like you
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: know whatever. Yeah, but I'm just wondering if they have
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: some you know, some concerns about, oh you have some
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: Brian Dable head coach, Sean Payton stepping away. Yeah, this afternoon,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: I thought they might have. So that makesning. That's one
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: of those like when you when you watch NFL Network
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: and they're sort of be laboring a topic and you
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: sort of wonder, do they already know this has happened?
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: Kevin James. The Saints are hiring Kevin James to be
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: the head coach playing the part. So now there's another one. Now,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: the problem there is there is no quarterback in place,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: so that needs to be um rebuild. If you're going
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: to be the coach there, you have to have some
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: idea that you're gonna get Wilson or Rogers or Brady
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: or you know or somebody. So here's the thing. Why no,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: so so Crafts say, Okay, Sean, you come in, you
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: be our offensive mcdanzel's leaving, you be our offensive coordinator.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: When Bill leaves, you're our head coach. Sean Payton, Peyton Payton,
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: You think he stepped aside for being a head of
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: beach because he wants to still be a head coach here?
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah at New England. Like again at New England. Better team,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: better ownership, yep, better ownership, quarterback stability yep. Uh No,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton, next head coach of the New England. Page.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I can't even respect mutual even me. Some times
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: I can't argue Jeffson Texas. What's up, Jeff? Hey, guys,
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Enjoy the show. I just
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: want to make a quick comment and then I got
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of um things I want to bring up.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed the weekend games. Unbelievable and I got
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: my wish. The Rams beat Brady in the buck, so
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: baby Brady can retire and Chiefs beat the Bill So
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: I really like that. But yeah, I mean, I just
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: I always want to say I agree with Fred. I mean,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're as far away as um, you know,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: making some of the fixes that we need to do,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: and just be more competitive next year. I mean, I
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: don't know, you know about playoffs or whatever, but just
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: being a better, more competitive team. Um, you know, like
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: in the draft, getting a m you know, a real
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: number one wide out, getting a good cornerback and you know,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: a linebacker. And one thing I I really like, like
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: not far away at the Rams. I mean that Aaron
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: Donald and Von Miller, And I mean that that combinations unbelievable.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: We could just get one guy, yeah where the other
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: the offense has to account for that guy all the
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: time because he's so disruptive. What a difference that makes,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: you know, we never we never got pressure on any
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks. I mean I don't think any games
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: we got pressure on any quarterbacks. I mean that would
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: be huge. Well, I mean I think at times this
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: year they had pretty good prey. It didn't always result
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: in sacks, but I think they were disruptive at times
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: thrust half of the year. The yeah, the first half
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, remember Judo had twelve and
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: a half sacks in a blank him an eye, you know,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: and then and then he and then he fell off
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: right hopefully, yeah, hopefully he can be game. Whatever happened there,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: we don't know, but he stopped playing. I do agree
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: with the other caller about Jase Jackson. I mean, um,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe you know that money could be better
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: spent spread around more. A lot of people feel are
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: agree with you. Now, Yeah, it's amazing what happens if
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: you don't play well in a game, you know, and
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: then I guess you know, and then the other obviously,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: the other things is, you know, Josh McDonald's, does he
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: end up leaving or so the coaching staff. I'm sure
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: there's going to be some turnover there, hopefully, you know,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: for the better, whatever happens there. And then also just
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: you know, hope to see when we get into spring
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: training and everything. We've seen Mac make progression in year two. Yeah,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: that's what I have to say, we're not far away.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: But I do think I think five minute explanation. I
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: think if if Josh leaves, that's gonna be highly disruptive. Yes, yeah,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: I believe alutely. Yeah. How old is Peyton Sean Payton?
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, he's not like Belichick's age,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: he's not sexy. Probably late fifty. He's not. He's not
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: He's not. I was gonna say sixty. So does anybody
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: find it curious why he's deciding to step down? Now?
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: You know, he's got a lot going on. He's one
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: of I don't know, he's just always want to know.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: It's just he's always one of those guys. I feel
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: like that has things going on. Is there some well?
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: I just asked because I wonder if is there some
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: sort of scandal that he's anticipating coming out. I don't know,
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you never know if that's I'm just
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: wondering if he's Kevin James movie. He doesn't want me,
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want to answer for it just feels like
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: there's no chance for him to get a quarterback, and
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: he just figures I'll I'll go now and wait. See
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not as the offensive coordinator, eybody, but he
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: waits a couple of years. Bill point, you don't usually
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: just quit. Yeah, you know, because he's been rumored to
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: be leaving for like five years. Oh yeah, yeah, Okay,
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: that's the only thing Now I think. I don't think
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: it's a little odd. I don't think I agree with Eric.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's it at fifty eight. I think
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: he's probably going to coach again. That's the pets. Okay,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: after Bill leaves, you know, it takes a couple of
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: years off he charges batteries still on the Parcels tree. Yeah,
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: mutual response, Now we like Parcels. I never said he
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: wasn't a good coach. O God, I forget. I never
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: said he wasn't a good coach. Forget he tweeted at
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Paul I wanted to run. He should be in the
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: page Hall of fan That's all I God, who tweeted
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: it today might have been Tommy, But somebody said that
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: Parcels was like the best in game manager of anybody,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: and I want to of anybody who could sideline management,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: it would be Paul Pole was great. I never had
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: a single problem and single thing he did at the
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: end of the day. I couldn't. I couldn't tell you that. No, no, no,
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: it's just something I'd never heard about. Think. I think
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: Bill is largely um outstanding in that regard with clock
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: management and stuff. Now, there's always times that I second
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: guess him, most notably the Super Bowl against Seattle when
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler picked off the pass. I think that was
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: gross negligence not calling timeouts. And he acknowledged like it
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: was a weird thing, like he really thought about it,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: and he was looking over at that other sideline and
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: he saw a little bit of chaos and he said, yeah, anyway,
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great explanation to explain why he
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: didn't call time out when he should have. No, but
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: I know, but you see you have film with him
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: like hands on knees staring across the field when he
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: should have called time out, and he admitted, normally I
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: would have called time I just asked you a question. What, yes, no,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: he never does anything. I want to know what you feel, No, no, no,
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: what what you would feel if on that play they
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: handed off to Lynch and they scored a touchdown, and
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: now the Patriots lost because they didn't have enough time.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: Would you say it was. And then Bill said after
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: the game, I didn't call time out because I looked
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: over across the field and I thought I sent some
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: confusion right on near sideline. How would you feel about that?
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: Explaining guess I was wrong, he was wrong. Instincts were wrong.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: But I didn't ask you whether or not because I
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: think his instincts were wrong anyway. No, but his instincts
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: were right. Just because they threw the ball doesn't mean
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: there was confusion. But whatever reason, like he it's not
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: like he said no, you know, like he brushed off
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: the question. He admitted because it worked out for him.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: That's why he didn't brush it off. But he admitted
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: that calling a time out made sense and that situation
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: I never said, which is an easy thing to admit
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: when it works and you know it. He never said
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: he didn't consider it. He did consider it, right, But
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, play the what if game? Yeah? Play?
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: He would have been Really, it would have been a
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: bad move. He wouldn't have said all the things that
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: he said. Is is number one. He wouldn't have said,
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: I just looked over and saw them in confusion. No,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't have said that I'm just asking you, if
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: he did say it, how you would feel like he
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: thought you thought you should call a time out to
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: give yourself some time. And you looked over and you said,
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: I can read his mind from you know, sixty yards away,
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: and I thought there was confusion over there. That's really that.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: That's the explanation that you've given me. You looked across
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: the field and thought there was confusion on the other sideline.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: This makes sense to and he was right. That's the
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: that's the stuff like I have to like take my
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: chips and leave the table because I can't handle that.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: That's great for the Fitzies, Jerry's and Mics of the
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: world that you can live in this little cult and
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: think that that makes sense because because it worked. I
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: think it was. I think this video evidence to support
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: what he was that he was looking at the other sideline. Yes,
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: this video evidence of that. Yes, there is so. And
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: thank god they did that, thank god, thank god, thank god.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: They threw the ball right and they were all screwed up.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: Thank god they were doing so saw it. They weren't
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: on the wrong page. They did that on purpose. All right,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: One more one more call. Darrell is in San Antonio.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: What's up, Darrell? Hey, guys, thank you for taking my call. Uh,
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: first time caller, a long time listener, you know whatever. Anyhow,
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: just that quick question, um, first, real quick thought. I
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: want to hate the Bills, but I just don't. I can't.
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: I think they are like a really fun team to watch,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: and I agree, I can't really hate him, you know,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: I can't hate him. Uh So yeah, to my point, uh,
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: do you'll think that we might be victims of our
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: own success with our team many that we have an
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: inability to draft high and the draft because of our success.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm seeing the same thing where he is,
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm telling it with this first long time success
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: because of the Big Three, and now we're like in
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: perpetual mediocrity, uh for the past few years because we
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: don't draft high off and we haven't been bad enough
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: that we get a high draft pick. And to that biggest,
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: same thing that will happen to us. You know, we
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: want to still compete. We don't want to we don't
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: want to have a loser, a losing Seaton. But at
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: the same time that puts us in the middle of
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: nowhere being able to draft. You have to you just
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: have to draft. I mean Pittsburgh. The NBA is very
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: hard draft. At the top of you know, you have
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: to have a top three pick. There's plenty of NFL
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: teams that draft uh yeah, you know, really really well
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: without high pick. Yeah, Pittsburgh is a good example. You
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: want to know a team to draft really well without
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: any picks at all. As the Rams, Thanks Darrell. The
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: Rims have a like a laundry list of third, fourth,
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: fifth round guys that play huge roles for them. Yeah,
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: like you can. You can get players like Mike. We
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: keep Mike and I keep talking about this wide receiver thing,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: and one of these years, damn it, we're gonna do it.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get one of these second or third round
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: guys who makes an immediate impact are out there, all right,
• 1:58:17
