  Speaker 3: He's got something going on with his stomach, and we

  Speaker 3: told him to get the hell out of here because
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I can't get sick. Patriots still drove the field three times,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: made three great plays to score touchdowns.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It's not like the Texans completely shut them down.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: So that's really not correct Nationally with the conference title games.

• 1:01
  Speaker 3: fare ass with a Patriot's logo on it, because that's

  Speaker 2: I'm so glad that you're finally with me.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: You're really like, got that out of nowhere. We're just

  Speaker 3: didn't say it's gonna be easy, but we're doing it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: We're gonna bring home that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I'll be coming home at all
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: because it's snow, but that's another story. But yeah, it
• 1:56

  Speaker 4: have an extra press conference Conference Championship week, so Mike
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Rable extra day, he's going to try to do some
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: of that. He says he's going to try to come
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: you know, pull a deuce and come back in deuce.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: By the way, it continues to not handle Championship week.
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: Well, Deuce texted me today. Important message, he said, to

  Speaker 4: at the end.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Same, So the Duce is still suffering from some kind
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: of stomach bug, but carry on.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: He actually he told me he got in his car
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and got about halfway here and there was just like,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I can't do this, and he went back.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those things can be debilitating.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: And no one wants him here if he's really in
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: all seriousness, if he's really feeling that badly, that's.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Right, Like affect your own house, right, don't infect ours?
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Not even I think his wife has him in.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: They have a little in law suit in the back
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: with its own entrance in bathroom.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think he's quarantined.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well let's get to it. Patriots of
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: course preparing to play the Denver Broncos local time three
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Eastern time, three o'clock on Sunday, and we had our
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: second participation report yesterday. Does anyone want to fill me
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: in and what what?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: That was the first Oh, that's right, Today's Thursday.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So week is going slow.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Harold Landry and Mady Mapu did not participate in practice yesterday.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: It's kind of been with Landry has been doing missing
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: some practice time. We clearly isn't he's not He isn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent healthy. The good news is Carlton Davis,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: as Mike Rabel told us during his press garments, was
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: going to be limited as he continues to make his
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: way through the concussion protocol.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Hunter Henry and Morgan Mo's is rest veteran, rest veteran.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Rest Chevy and Henderson who kind of got banged up
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: with the shoulder game full participant, So that's a good
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: sign for him. Explain same thing, hands now, yeah, hand now,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: thumbs up, bro, but also a full PARTICIPANTEA.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna you know, I thought he
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: would react.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: To that, but he's he's a serious guy. He's a
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: serious guy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: As he's telling us, he broke his thumb in the game,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: which I thought was kind of odd, but yeah, so
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: kind of runs the gamut there for the Patriots, The
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Broncos got some good news as well. Even though they're
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: without their quarterback, it looks like they're going to have
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: a chance to get some of these guys that Evan
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: was talking about yesterday. They'll have a chance to play
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin, the two receivers. Bryant was
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: also limited with you know, concussion, Franklin with a hamstring,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: and then JK. Dobbins was Listen, there's a limited participant
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: as they try to get him off of IR with
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the foot injury that he's been out since early November
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: with and Luke Wattenberg their center also trying to come
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: off of IR. He was a full participant, so I
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: would expect him to be starting at center. So there's
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: a lot of injury stuff in this game to track,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: and we'll get the next update later today.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so you know, not terrible news. Would
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: be nice to have seen Matt Collins back out there,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: so I I would have guessed that he's probably not
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: a candidate to play this Sunday.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: That would be my guest too. I feel like, yeah, he.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Seemed to just really shut it down in the press
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: conference for the.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Week, and I would think that if he was going
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: to be able to get off of IR, he would
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: practice the full week.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see what happens today. Maybe it'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be different.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, So what else we got and you know there's
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a lot going on that I want to get into.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, we have all the finalists were announced for
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: all the AP Awards. Oh yeah's a lot of Patriots presence.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you have to have, Alex, you have the list.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I don't have it.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: But off the top of my head, Drake May obviously
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: m VP and Offensive Player of the Year, Mike rabel
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Coach of the Year, Josh McDaniel's Offensive as System of
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: the Year, digg's Comeback Player of the Year, and Travon
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Henderson Rookie of the Year.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And also May is in the category for Offensive Player of.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: The Year, which is why that Alex said, which VP
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: and offensive?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I don't understand why Stafford isn't in Offensive Player of
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the Year.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you can make an argument for that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Those are tricky and you and I do not handle them. Well, no,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: in full disclosure, friend and Paul do not handle the
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: NFL awards.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Well, why not fill me in because people don't do
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, the voters, because.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: We're smarter than ever.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: But I think you can make an argument that May's
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: running ability has made him more of like a productive
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: offensive player than effort, whereas m v P you could
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: make a different argument for I think it's kind of
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: circumcising the mosquito, as Jerry Jones likes to say. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: don't really find a whole lot of difference with those.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: But May is a finalist for both. Stafford is only
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: a finalist for MVP.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Trick should get both.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I think you should get m v P. I don't
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: think you should get Offensive Player of the Year. I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: think that should be Pooka and Nakula.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: But if Puka is an Offensive Player of the Year,
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: that just totally diminishes Stafford's m v P.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why I picked May for m VP, because
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: he's don't with less. That's my whole life.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: We're preaching to the choir here, Did you want an argument?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Because we can do I could change.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: You, guys, I could change I hope I got a
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: good one today.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Why you know you you're hurting for material this week? Well,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Fred thinks it's going to be a tough game. We'll
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: argue about that later.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not looking for material. I think we have plenty.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: We're in the Asty Championship this weekend.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I wonder why.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Evan always gives me some fun material.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Will be good.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was wondering why you were looking for an
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: argument then for fun. Usually that's you know, for fun.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: So this email just came across the transom in I
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: don't know if this is accurate or not, but it's Jeremiah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You know, he's a frequent emailer. He says big decisions
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: this offseason for Denver having to figure out what to
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: do with Bo. According to Broncos players and a legendary
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: QB coach, Stidham is equal to, if not better than,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Drake's best play this season. Hope they ship Nick somewhere
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: that will he will thrive since they have a potential
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: MVP as his backup. Is this Brady and Bledsoe all
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: over again? Also, how is the Patriots playoff wins being
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: easy talked about more than the Rams playoff wins? Anyway,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: forget about the last line. I have not heard of
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: somebody saying that uh Stidham is as good as May's
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: best play this year.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: I saw at this morning.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: In cheek or what he didn't say that Jordan Palmer.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: First of all, that guy that email was tongue in
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: cheek because of what Jordan Palmer said.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, what if Jordan Palmer say he.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: He said, if Drake May and Jared Sidham both play
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: at their best.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: There's not much of a difference.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: I really think that's a verbat him if I remember correctly.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's I think Alex nailed it. That's exact
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: basically what Jeremiah said to He said that he said
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that is better than Drake May at his best. Yeaheah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that's not what Okay, that's not what he's saying. Do
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you think it's even equal? I mean that they're both absurd.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: I mean Jared Sidham would be a starting quarterback for
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: a different team.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: What are we going to argue about this?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, but what Jordan Palmer is saying. I totally
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: disagree with Jordan Palmer.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: As you know.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think this game is going to be overly
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: difficult because of the fact that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Jared Sidham is starting it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, I think what Palmer is trying to say is,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: if Stidham plays at his best, he has the ability
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: to match Drake May. I would disagree with that. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: don't think he is as talented as Drake May. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: don't think it's really even close. But that's what like.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: He's not suggesting that Stidham is a better player. He's
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: saying he has the ability to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: But if they're the best, replace May with Josh Allen.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: If Steadham plays at his best, he has the ability
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to match Josh Allen. How would you feel about that statement?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that would be rational what you May
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and Allen?
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: No oh, you said, I don't think it's rational.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: With May.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Stidham has that kind of a
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I can see that. No, no, no, I'm saying that's what
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Jordan Palmer.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Romantics are kind of important here, I think, because it's
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: not if Stidham plays at his best it's similar. It's
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: if both Drake May and Stidham plays.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: He's claiming ability.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Is the same as well.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm saying it's absurd because if Stidham plays it
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: his best and May plays average to what he's been doing,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's still absurd.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Same. But hey, these people are.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: About the game.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Then if you think Stidham could play and you can't
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: compare with a bunch of.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Other people on that team besides the quarterback. That's why
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I'm nervous, because it's not it's the quarter because I
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: think it's a good team with a good coach, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I think it's a type of teams can overcome sometimes
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: when they have a backup quarterback.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: No, I know that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: But if you don't think that he could play at
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: his best and even be like match, May's media mediocrity.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Like I don't think he can, but I think there's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: other aspects. So the only way the game can be
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: close is if May really stinks.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: No, they can run well, they can play defense well,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: jam us up.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: But it's not going to matter if Stidham can't even
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: be as good as a mediocre man.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: If it's if it's ten to three going into the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: fourth court, or it's a game, well, so, now May
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: wasn't mediocre. If it's if it's ten, what about their
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: defense being really good?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Way, Well, listen, we didn't know our defense was as
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: good as it is until the last two games.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: What if they were. That's why I don't think this
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: game is going to be.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Defense rallies and say, you know, we've we lost our
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: starting quarterback.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: We have to win this game. And they play lights
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: A path, Yes there is, and it's May playing poorly.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: That's the power.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: It's their defense playing lights out and the rest and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: their offensive line playing really well and running well and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: keeping the time of possession in their favor and shortening
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the game. There's a million paths to it being a
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: tough game.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Not if May play as well. Okay, May has to
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: play poorly for all those things.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I think you could just play average, and that could happen.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: He'll put too many I've watched football for a while.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I you know, I kind of have.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: You know, you're trying to convince yourself that if you
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: think it's going to be easy.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You're going to the team. That's I'm basically can't talk about.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Basing this on you know, fifty years of watching football
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: and knowing that teams rise up, especially teams with really
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: good coaches, which I think Denver has.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: I'm not expecting Denver to roll over. I'm expecting to
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: show up to a gunfight with a knife. That's what
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I'm expecting. They're not going to have the tools to
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: be able to compete. Listen, if they're going to try.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: If May plays at his best, I agree with you.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: But I do give Denver's defense a lot of credit
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: going into this game to keep him from just you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: going nuts.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: In this game.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: But from the past two games, we can see that
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: that can happen, and we can still be confident because.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Of the great thing about the Patriots is that they
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: figure out ways to win, you know, whatever type of
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: game they find themselves in, however the game declares itself,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: they figure out a way to win. So that's Listen,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I think we're going to win, but I don't think
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: it's going to be easy.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Definitely not.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: But to say that Stidham is all of a sudden
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: just going to turn out and be not just like
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: an NFL starter caliber quarterback but a really good.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: One, yeah, I don't know.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Like, listen, show me what he looks like the first
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: time Milton Williams is running at him.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Sure, and let me let me say this to kind
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: of clarify my stance. The reasons why this game could
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: be tough has nothing to do with Jared Stidham.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Let's put it that way, right, And that's kind of
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: where we started. This whole thing was what I thought
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: was kind of.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Silly hyperbole by Jordan Palmer, like to suggest that a
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: guy who hasn't really played in seven years is capable
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: of playing like the MVP.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: That's a that's a big, big drink man, Jared Stidham
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: both play at their best. I don't think it's much different,
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: he said, I.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Don't both play at their best. That is a ridiculous state.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's much different.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: So he that May's best is only a little better
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: than Stidham, right, I'm sorry, I can't.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: That's a ridiculous thing to me, is trying to strip
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: him of his credentials, crap out of him.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Later, his brother, what did he ever do? He was
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: like a jaggy quarterback I think at Vanderbilt. Maybe I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: don't know. That might have been Rogers's brother. I don't know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: but whatever.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't like to kill people for opinions because
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: everybody has them, and I just.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Went stupid, Okay, entitled to your opinions.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I disagree with the opinion, but you know whatever, Maybe
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: I'll be wrong because I don't think this game is
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: going to be difficult, so I could be right.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I hope you're right, and if you are, I'll be
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: like Paul, thank god.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: But it's the AC Championship. They're a good team. They
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: didn't get here just because of bon Nicks, and they're
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: gonna make it tough without him.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: How many comebacks did Bonnicks have this year? Vet a
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: ton seven at least?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You know, you could make an argument that they wouldn't
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: be there without Bonus.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Oh that's true, but maybe they'd have more points if
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: they had a better quarterback.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: But Jared Stidham isn't that. He isn't that. I agree.
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: People are telling me that, really, like it's been Jared
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: Sidham the whole time, just behind bon Nicks, and he's
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: going to have his coming out party and well there's.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: A narrative that's been going around, and it's true that
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: even as a backup, he's sought after backup. I think
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: he's the highest paid backup in the league.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I and I give credence to Josh McDaniels.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: He was here when we drafted him, and then he
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: wanted him again in Vegas. I don't and then apparently
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: we wanted him again here this offseason, so I give
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: credence to that, but it's still just not enough.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And did I hear it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was Robert Kraft who said it,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: but while he was here, teams had made inquiries to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: get him.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't see that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: But so can I just say the whole Josh McDaniel's thing,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Sure you can say it, say it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I don't think that joshon I don't think Josh McDaniel's
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: looking for Jared Stidham as his backup as an indication
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: that he thinks he's like superb. He has a guy
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: that he knows, knows his offense and is a backup yeap. Like,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I think it's as simple as that. Like, if you
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: have your choice between bringing in Josh Dobbs from outside
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: the organization who has never been in this system, or
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Jared Stidham, I could understand why Josh McDaniels would have
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: wanted a guy who was already familiar with his system,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: who is a backup he's not going to be necessarily
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: pushing to play, like the whole Joe Milton situation. I
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: think it's as simple as that. It's a guy who
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: fit the suit. He knew the offense, and he knew
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: and Josh knew him. I don't think this was because
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: they think this diamond in the rough that no one
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: else understands. But Josh McDaniels and Sean Payton, those are
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the only two guys that know how good you know
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: what I mean. I don't think it's that him game.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: You know you've heard a lot. I mean, I give
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton a lot of credit. He's really being a
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: good leader if you ask me, the way he has
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: been handling this and talking about he's one of the
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: better best thirty two and he's trying.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: He's trying to convince his team that we can do this.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: And I applaud that that's what he should be doing.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: But I don't necessarily think the fans should have to
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: go along with him, like the fans of the Patriots, like,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: we shouldn't have to be extra nervous because everybody's talking
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: up Jared Stidham.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Well, i'd be nervous if bo Nix was playing as well.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: You know it's going to be a tough game.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I would be nervous if bo Nix was playing, all right, so.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: So that so that email is accurate for the most part. Uh,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: And that's a really bad take by Jordan Palmer.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I agree. I I just like, I think that what
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the hell I think to suggest that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: The the only thing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: He said he knew him as because he worked with
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: him and stuff like that, Like there you go. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: think it's a really bad take. Emailer who wrote in
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: that was a really good like.
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: Kept secrets most of the unknown high quality player. Insert
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: other line that makes sense and is congruent with those statements.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: But I don't think anybody knows until this weekend how
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: good Jared Sidam is.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, so he needed Do you I remember when Sam
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Bradford was coming out Gil Brandt, I guess lived across
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: the street from me. He was really playing them.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Because he knew the kid. He's stunk, you know.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so sometimes sometimes you're biased when you have a
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: personal relationship with a player, and I get that, but
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to come out public, do.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: You think sam Bradford stunk?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Well, He's light years better than Yard's did.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, And if sam Bradford was playing.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: It, you know, like I'd be nervous if Sam Bradford
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: was playing. He's a competent NFL quarterback. Jared Denver's gonna
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: make this game tough. And it's not going to be
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: because of Jared Stidham. It's going to be everything else.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be everything else, All those other things still exist.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: I am just expecting the Patriots to play well, I think,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: especially offensively, because they haven't done it yet. I think
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: they do Okay, So maybe it's more faith in the
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Patriots than anything about Jared Stidham.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good stuff? All right? What else? What else?
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: What do we got? We got?
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: So just remind everybody in Denver Saturday night, starting at
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: four point thirty local time at Jackson's Leado, there is
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: a fan rally, followed at five o'clock by a live
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Patriots All Access show from five to six, and then
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: the rally continues after that. Adam Vanity will be there, Yes,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Ann Stone, mother of God, Adam Vanity will be there,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: David Andrews will be there, cheerleaders, pat Patriot giveaways, all
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: this stuff.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: So, if you're in Denver and you're a Patriots fan,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: you want to head down the Jackson's and LEDO. Probably
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: get online now it's going to be banged out, so
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: we'll see you there Saturday night.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: I got to talk to Ann right before.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: She's the greatest good good, so that that'll be uh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: that'll be good. And I just I always get nervous
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: with these fan rallies because I see the fans and
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I just want the Patriots to win so much for them,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: you know, like when we were in London most recently
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: with a rally and we ended up playing.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Like ass that game Germany too, Yeah, you know Germany
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: that week the year before.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Like, I just feel bad for the fans that come
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: out and put their heart into it and then you
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: lay a stinker. So I just hope the Patriots win
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: for the fans.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Germany, especially because we couldn't even square Oh that.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Was that was dreadful. That was dreadful. You know, that
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: passed by Mac Jones and close to the red zone.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Any anyway, Okay, this this Buffalo thing, you know, I
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: finally heard yeah, actual quotes. So when you're basically he's
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: saying that a nine year head coach you fired him
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: because of one game, the results of one game, which
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: he's lying that can't be the case.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: But the stuff of the players coming out is the
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: most I don't know, all I could think about yesterday
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: seeing all this Bills stuff play out, and it also
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: is confounded with you guys. I don't know if you saw,
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: because it's like football mode right now. But Baxter Homes
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: came out with a piece about the Lakers downfall.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And the turmoil, and the bus didn't read it, but it's.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Phenomenal, great read, but not important.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: But it just all I kept thinking about with everything
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: I was reading yesterday about the Bills and the Lakers
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: was Mike Rabel's quote, It's not like this everywhere else,
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: And I just kept thinking about, like Stefan Diggs and
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: the reputation he had leaving in the stuff he kind
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: to said about that Bill's front office, like maybe people,
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: oh Diggs an apology for when he left.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: I don't know. It was just I love the dysfunction.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yep, I do too. I love it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: You know it's fun to make fun of your your
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: rivals for sure. Yeah all right, well, okay, so that's
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: going on. H Baker Mayfield also had some harsh words
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: about the Browns. Great said I was traded like a
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: piece of garbage.
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: About Fancy specifically, yeah, he said to see you twice
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: a year, coach, Like, damn, the.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: League is better with him minute.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Hell it really is, helly Yeah, on and off the field.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I love the drama.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Okay, so let's let's get right into it
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: because Rabel could be coming up in about seven minutes
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: his day press conference this week because it's the AS Championship,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: So we'll go to Rabel as soon as he goes live.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So let's let's get right to people and what they
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: have to say. See if they're as fired up as
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I am. We'll start with Dan and Tampa.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Dan?
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: Can you guys hear me?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we can hear you.
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, I just wanted to chime in on a
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: couple of years takes. First, take the whole Buffalo Bills
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: with Sean mcgerlad.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: That was a disaster.
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: Every network is literally going after being in I agree
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: with with ESPN said he should have just kept it
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: to a short statement and just left it as that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 10: He looks like he looks like how the Patriots did
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: when Belichick and Craft were going at it when they split.
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: It looks it looks terrible. He just made himself, He
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: embarrassed himself. So that's the first take. The second thing
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: I would say is, I don't know if you guys
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: heard some talk that there's been some new rumors about
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: Josh McDaniel's possibly, you know, with the Cardinals. I don't
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: know if you heard that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I did not see that now. I haven't heard that way.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Did you hear it? Is it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Or Jordan Palmer?
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: No?
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: This this is some stuff that I guess it was Darling.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: I don't know if you know Jeff Darlington.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's reputable.
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so that's yeah, so.
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: That that there could be possibly there, So I would
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: want to see him. I want to I want them obviously,
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: we all want.
• 25:14
  Speaker 11: Josh to stay.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that part continuity, and then.
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: The last part I was gonna mention on is that
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: the whole Jared Stidham thing. I'm over talking about this guy.
• 25:27
  Speaker 10: I mean, uh, I don't know if you guys saw
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: the interview with uh with Sean Payton. I just watched
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: it this morning. I mean, Sean Payton credits Josh Neils
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: a lot, and I like stid him too, but I
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: don't think he's just all worlds guy like Paul was saying,
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: like people need to stop talking about this guy. He's
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: a freaking backup quarterback. Brok right out loud. And then
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: the last thing, Paul, did you see what your guy?
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: Bertane and Zulac we're talking to Kraft at the stadium
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: the other day about how Kraft was mentioning. Uh. He
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: praised how well the team doing, and he even mentioned
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: that he took a huge financial commitment firing draw staff,
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: which no one talks about. He's still paying Draw and
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: all those other coaches that were on the fire staff.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no one talks about him now.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: That was talked about Dan for sure because it was
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: mentioned earlier in another interview that he did.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean yeah, when coaches get fired, you have
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to pay their contracts. It's talked about incessantly. Yeah. Dan's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey. What's up Dan?
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Sorry?
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: And not another Dan, but anyway, oh okay, I wondered
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: if if he can change things up a little bit,
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: can I talk to a little Patriots Broncos eighties trivia?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 26:44
  Speaker 13: Sure?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Why not? Always here for that?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: Otherwise known as Stump Paulie, So Stump the Paul as
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: you know, Stump the grump right, as you know we're
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: owen for right, in Denver in the playoffs. But going
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: back to that first one January eighty seven, who was
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: the Patriots defender who allowed the game winning, game winning
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: touchdown on the last play of the third quarter?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: What was the question? I'm sorry, On the last play of.
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: The third quarter there was a pass from Lway forty
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: eight yards and that's that put him up I think
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: seventeen thirteen or twenty thirteen. Who was in coverage on that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say Ronnie Lapet, but it's just a guess.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: Tim Fox Well, Ronnie was. Ronie la Pett was at
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: that game, and Ernest.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Gibson, Ernest Gibson and Oka Deerness Gibson.
• 27:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and you might recall he was have good coverage
• 27:42
  Speaker 11: except the pass was underthrown and he just kept going
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: and Vance Johnson didn't and caught it in the end
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: zone on that same play. One thing that was interesting,
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: we had a a lineman off side. Do you remember
• 27:58
  Speaker 11: who it was?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: It was a free play, Daron Verius, I think it was.
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: No, I think it was Don Blackman.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Yeah, it's not really in the spirit
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: of trivia. Yeah, well, I don't think I don't like this, Yeah.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Freddy's being mean. Just because I didn't know them doesn't
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: mean it weren't. They weren't. Trivia know, that's really granular.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Who was off? Well, I mean, I know a lot
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: of random crap. Yeah, I know you do.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Dan, appreciate the call. Uh, let's go to Tommy
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. What's up, Tommy? That's what's up Tommy?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You're in l A. Tommy? Is it Brady?
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's going on? All right, you guys?
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I was listening.
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: You guys really already kind of beat it to the nail.
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: As far as the whole Sedum conversation. My only fear
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: really is I just want to know what you guys
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: think of how we're going to approach them defensively. I
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: hear he could really air it out, and I know
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: Sean Payton is an offense of Guru. So if you
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: guys are on the defensive side of the ball, how
• 29:09
  Speaker 14: are you guys wanting to start it off? It's the
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: last game potentially of their season. They can come out
• 29:14
  Speaker 14: really just not care about him throwing picks or anything,
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: just really airing us out.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: So all right, well we'll get to that after Rabel.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: I'll put you on hold if you want to stay,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: but you can hang up a weekend answer, but I'll
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: put you on hold in case I had any kind.
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: Of relationship for interactions with Sean Payton, and how do
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: you see his team as a reflection of him?
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: Uh, yeah, I have had interactions with Sean and very
• 29:42
  Speaker 15: successful football coach. Tough to defend for, you know, tough
• 29:48
  Speaker 15: to defend against. I think he does a great job
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: with his personnel and his scheme and the guys that
• 29:55
  Speaker 15: he had in New Orleans and how they use those guys,
• 29:59
  Speaker 15: and then certainly how.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: He's using the weapons offensively.
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: Uh in Denver, And I think you have to prepare
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: for a lot and uh again, it's not like they
• 30:13
  Speaker 15: they do too much to where they're you know, they've
• 30:15
  Speaker 15: got rules for everything, they've got protections for everything. You know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 15: good mixture in the run game. You know, there's some
• 30:23
  Speaker 15: there's some r p O with some big people personnel.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So it's like it. I think he's had his core
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: concepts that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: He's had for a lot of years, and then he's
• 30:32
  Speaker 15: just continued to add onto that, you know, as some
• 30:36
  Speaker 15: of the game has changed and some of the ideas
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: and and the schemes have have evolved, and so I
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: think that that's.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Pretty unique.
• 30:43
  Speaker 15: I think he's got plays for certain guys that he
• 30:46
  Speaker 15: wants to to try to find ways to get them
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: the ball. You know, his record clearly speaks for itself,
• 30:52
  Speaker 15: and so you know, tough challenge. You know, he's he's
• 30:59
  Speaker 15: he's a proven winner in this league.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Like what's your h A lot of talking about Yard
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Stidham obviously coming in here, but what have Josh Dobbs,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Tommy Debido been like for you all season long?
• 31:10
  Speaker 15: They prepare as a starter every week and you know, Dobbs,
• 31:14
  Speaker 15: he's had to go in there a little bit. I
• 31:15
  Speaker 15: think Tom has really improved in our system and what
• 31:19
  Speaker 15: it is that we're asking him to do and how
• 31:22
  Speaker 15: he would need to operate.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So again, those guys have been great.
• 31:25
  Speaker 15: They've been a you know, a huge support for for
• 31:29
  Speaker 15: Drake and you know everything that we've done offensively, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 15: then you know, running and operate in our show.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Teampating limitations for Christian.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Barmore and y else too.
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: Uh No, certainly something that we we have to monitor.
• 31:42
  Speaker 15: There are some some players that you know we'll have
• 31:46
  Speaker 15: to monitor for for one reason or another. But I
• 31:51
  Speaker 15: don't see any limitations for for Christian.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: In like regarding preparing for Sean. Among the things trick.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Plays big games have all the past last week, picking
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl surprise on sides kick?
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Is that something that you generally just fall back on
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: your fundamental screening keys.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Is there a way to prepare for all the possibilities?
• 32:14
  Speaker 15: I think I've got the surprise on site kick handled. Okay,
• 32:19
  Speaker 15: I was gonna say I got that one covered. You
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: can't really play for you know, they run bubbles, and
• 32:27
  Speaker 15: so the complimentary play is the bubble and go. Now,
• 32:31
  Speaker 15: can't sit there and wait for the bubble and go,
• 32:32
  Speaker 15: because you know eight or nine times out of ten
• 32:36
  Speaker 15: you're gonna be wrong. And so I think you just
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: have to You have to play defense. You have to
• 32:40
  Speaker 15: go and play with a with a certain speed and aggressiveness.
• 32:44
  Speaker 15: And then you know, obviously what's your keys tell you
• 32:46
  Speaker 15: to do, and where you know your read would tell
• 32:50
  Speaker 15: you to go and cover, and so you know he's
• 32:55
  Speaker 15: certainly the timing of when he's called some of these
• 32:57
  Speaker 15: things has been oppressive. And then again when you call
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: those and it's up to the players to make it work.
• 33:04
  Speaker 15: And they've done a good job of making those plays work.
• 33:07
  Speaker 15: But the timing in which some of these things have
• 33:11
  Speaker 15: been called have been good.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: What kind of what I pack?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Do you mindre as a pass catcher for you guys.
• 33:17
  Speaker 15: You know, going all the way back to Miami, you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: we needed to play and he was able to give
• 33:21
  Speaker 15: us one. And you know, I think that that's just
• 33:24
  Speaker 15: something that's part of his skill set. It's been great to.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Have and to use and you know, just another one
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of those guys to spread the ball around.
• 33:33
  Speaker 16: Last week we saw the Bills get a crucial penalty
• 33:35
  Speaker 16: on an underthrown deep.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Ball for interference.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Is that something you guys are going to be looking
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: out for this week? And what are the keys to
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: not getting penalized on those kinds of ways?
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: I think the only I can tell you is that
• 33:44
  Speaker 15: the more that you play the football, the better chance
• 33:47
  Speaker 15: that you have of not getting a defensive you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 15: pass interference penalty. So you know, if you can play
• 33:54
  Speaker 15: the football and make sure you try to turn around
• 33:56
  Speaker 15: and lean and locate, you have a chance. If you
• 34:00
  Speaker 15: playing in football, margin freer goes way down your tailor.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Seems like a pretty good fine for you guys. You know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: what have you seen from him, and what is the question?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Great attitude from day one, came in and.
• 34:13
  Speaker 15: You know, worked hard on those Thursday practices that we
• 34:15
  Speaker 15: talked about and showed up and then had a conversation
• 34:19
  Speaker 15: and that said that as soon as you can you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 15: learn what to do and where to go and what
• 34:23
  Speaker 15: to you know, how to run the defense, we decided
• 34:30
  Speaker 15: he was ready and then he took advantage of his opportunity.
• 34:33
  Speaker 15: So the first was getting recognized in practice and then
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: was learning what to do. Uh, kind of midstream there
• 34:41
  Speaker 15: and maybe he took him a week or so to
• 34:43
  Speaker 15: do that and where we felt comfortable bringing them up.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: You talked about the ability of players to make plays
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: now where they are in these games.
• 34:54
  Speaker 15: From all games, it's always always important for players to
• 34:58
  Speaker 15: make good plays, ton't your perspective?
• 35:01
  Speaker 16: How do you put guys in positions so that they
• 35:04
  Speaker 16: they'd be ready in regular regular season games or pot.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Or postseason games to have success.
• 35:13
  Speaker 15: I think that just comes from practice and learning guys
• 35:15
  Speaker 15: and seeing what they're comfortable with.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, maybe you know, looking at a receiver
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: if there's.
• 35:21
  Speaker 15: A certain route that they run and you know, you
• 35:24
  Speaker 15: feel like it's game ready and their speed to it,
• 35:27
  Speaker 15: there's timing to it. You feel comfortable, so you can
• 35:31
  Speaker 15: kind of check that one off the box. Every player
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: is unique. Every player has a different skill set, different
• 35:38
  Speaker 15: play style, and you know, trying to ask them to
• 35:42
  Speaker 15: do things that they're good at and try to you know,
• 35:44
  Speaker 15: work on improving the things that maybe they aren't as
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: good at. But then you get to a certain point
• 35:50
  Speaker 15: where you probably don't try to force it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 17: What's made of Benido and Zach Allen of such a
• 35:57
  Speaker 17: productive tandem there when they're alongside one by the did
• 36:00
  Speaker 17: they complement each other?
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 36:02
  Speaker 15: Well, I think they're they're talented. I think they're both
• 36:06
  Speaker 15: very athletic for their position. You know, Benito is a
• 36:11
  Speaker 15: his his strength is his speed, his length is ability
• 36:16
  Speaker 15: to bend in corner. And Zach Allen's skill set is
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: a is a bigger athletic interior player who has the
• 36:29
  Speaker 15: ability to.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: To speed to power.
• 36:31
  Speaker 15: But he uh, you know, really where he's making his
• 36:35
  Speaker 15: hay is you know, kind of making guys miss and
• 36:38
  Speaker 15: sitting down bigger players and then you know, bursting on
• 36:41
  Speaker 15: an edge. So they're talented, and then the scheme that
• 36:45
  Speaker 15: they that they put him in is makes them you know,
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: tough like.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: All. Briefly, yeah, I don't remember.
• 36:54
  Speaker 15: Yeah, briefly, I think Tyler was a red shirt, but
• 36:59
  Speaker 15: uh yeah, I mean I think a while ago.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I remember talking.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: With him, seen Cordy Jordan improve as a pass rusher,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And is that an aspect of this game that is
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: surprised you it all?
• 37:10
  Speaker 15: Uh No, I mean I think that he's just worked
• 37:13
  Speaker 15: hard at it. I think that's something that he's focused on,
• 37:17
  Speaker 15: is figuring out what works for him.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not.
• 37:21
  Speaker 15: Built like Zach Allen, that's not he shouldn't try some
• 37:26
  Speaker 15: of that stuff. And you know, you get together with
• 37:29
  Speaker 15: the player clan and everybody else and the coach and
• 37:33
  Speaker 15: kind of figure out a couple moves that that may
• 37:35
  Speaker 15: work for them, and then you go about, you know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 15: practicing those through the week and then coming up with
• 37:42
  Speaker 15: a plan. And so they're not trying things that you know,
• 37:45
  Speaker 15: maybe they're not good at, like John's Hayten.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: The timing that you mentioned of some of those calls,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: is that a case.
• 37:51
  Speaker 18: Do you see him setting things up earlier in the game,
• 37:54
  Speaker 18: gathering information formationally testing earlier drives, and then getting to
• 37:57
  Speaker 18: it later or is it just kind of a knack
• 37:59
  Speaker 18: he's had.
• 38:00
  Speaker 15: I think there's a combination of both, you know what
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: I mean. I think it's uh, you know, forth down, unbalanced,
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: the tackles out, they throw a shot you know against
• 38:10
  Speaker 15: the chargers, you know, for for a big play.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: So that's you know.
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: Something you know that they may have shown some look
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: and thought that it was going to be a certain
• 38:22
  Speaker 15: play and he's able to take a shot. Some of
• 38:25
  Speaker 15: it is that they are, you know, marrying plays and
• 38:27
  Speaker 15: concepts just like you know a lot of other people.
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: And then they you know, have plays that repeat that
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: they're also really good at and if you don't defend them,
• 38:36
  Speaker 15: he just keeps calling him. We've had Christian Nballas go
• 38:41
  Speaker 15: out with the head injury, and this laston Charls and
• 38:43
  Speaker 15: they of us with Charles Woods.
• 38:44
  Speaker 14: How have you seen him mentally.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Stay prepared and just how he rises to the occasion
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: when he has given.
• 38:50
  Speaker 15: Well, we hope that he doesn't rise to the occasion.
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: We hope that he's just prepared and ready to go,
• 38:56
  Speaker 15: which he has been. I think you like you talked about, uh,
• 39:01
  Speaker 15: you know, those are opportunities, you know, when when corner,
• 39:03
  Speaker 15: when you play behind, you know, good players sometimes you
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: don't get a whole lot of opportunity, and then when
• 39:09
  Speaker 15: you do, you have to be ready for it. And
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: you know he has done that. He's prepares as a starter,
• 39:15
  Speaker 15: he's ready to go. You know, it's you know, you
• 39:19
  Speaker 15: don't have a whole lot of notice. You don't get
• 39:21
  Speaker 15: a whole lot of notice when you have to go
• 39:22
  Speaker 15: in there. And so just being able to throw in
• 39:24
  Speaker 15: there and go in there and not be able to
• 39:26
  Speaker 15: have to change the game plan.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: It's nice, Mike. When it comes to Drake, it seems
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: like he's risen to the challenges. The games have gotten bigger.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: What does that mean for this week for you? What
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: are you expecting from Hims?
• 39:38
  Speaker 15: You know, lead our offense, be the conductor and help
• 39:41
  Speaker 15: us handle the environment. Find as many positive plays as
• 39:46
  Speaker 15: you can. Take care to football, own the operation, you know,
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: and then you're gonna have to make some make some
• 39:54
  Speaker 15: big time throws.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have to. That's just kind of
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: how this thing goes.
• 39:59
  Speaker 15: And h no different than what we've expected him from
• 40:03
  Speaker 15: the entire season, what we've expected of him and how
• 40:07
  Speaker 15: he's you know, produced, and you know, it's great to
• 40:10
  Speaker 15: see some not so positive plays that don't affect some
• 40:15
  Speaker 15: things that have to happen later in the game.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: For us to to succeed.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Like the Layers have talked about your four ages, we
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: see you with them in the tunnel after these games.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Where did this kind of new school coaching style come from?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: How did it develop for you?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how new school it is.
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: When I was at Ohio State, I tried to have
• 40:34
  Speaker 15: a great relationship with the defensive lineman that I coached.
• 40:39
  Speaker 15: When I went to Houston, I tried to have a
• 40:41
  Speaker 15: great relationship with Whitney Merciless and Max Buller and Brian
• 40:45
  Speaker 15: Cushing and everybody that we coach down there. And then
• 40:50
  Speaker 15: each step along the way, you know, you become a
• 40:56
  Speaker 15: head coach, and again those relationships probably aren't as the same.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 41:02
  Speaker 15: I want to try to be is be honest with them,
• 41:06
  Speaker 15: be transparent, be authentic.
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing, is just be authentic
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: and don't try to be fake.
• 41:12
  Speaker 15: But we see each other every day. I hope we
• 41:15
  Speaker 15: have some level of care for what they do as
• 41:19
  Speaker 15: people and as players.
• 41:21
  Speaker 19: Like I know, iftividals from your team are not finalists
• 41:25
  Speaker 19: for end of season awards, including yourself.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: What's your reaction to that and what does that just
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: say about your team?
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I hope that they all win.
• 41:34
  Speaker 18: I don't know if there's taken out of context, but
• 41:36
  Speaker 18: coach Peyton was quoted as saying that fans in Denver
• 41:39
  Speaker 18: would have two weeks to rest up after the AFC
• 41:42
  Speaker 18: Championship before screaming their heads off to the Super Bowl.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Do you believe in bulletin board material.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I think we're plenty motivated for the game.
• 41:52
  Speaker 15: I think that our players are continuing to build confidence
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: through the week, So I'm really excited to go out
• 41:59
  Speaker 15: there and play.
• 42:00
  Speaker 17: Like, how would you do with characterize Patrick Surtain's skill
• 42:04
  Speaker 17: set and do they move him around to travel with,
• 42:08
  Speaker 17: you know, opposing top receivers.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I mean he's very and he's targeted infrequently.
• 42:16
  Speaker 15: He's physical, he is great length, can run, he's athletic,
• 42:23
  Speaker 15: he's willing to tackle.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: He plays physical.
• 42:27
  Speaker 15: You know there's a you know, you have to really
• 42:30
  Speaker 15: be convicted when you're gonna go and throw at him.
• 42:32
  Speaker 15: You better be very convicted and there better be a
• 42:34
  Speaker 15: good route and you better have the ball in a good,
• 42:37
  Speaker 15: good spot or it's gonna be a turnover or a
• 42:40
  Speaker 15: PBu So, I mean I could just remember going and
• 42:43
  Speaker 15: seeing him at Alabama, you know, whether I was at
• 42:47
  Speaker 15: the clinic or a prode or something. You know, just
• 42:49
  Speaker 15: the presence of him, you know, I mean, his dad
• 42:53
  Speaker 15: was a fantastic player, and you know, just his presence
• 42:58
  Speaker 15: in the way that he carried himself as a leader
• 43:00
  Speaker 15: and as a person.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: A lot of respect for him. All those lines with
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: out there trying to get entertained, Mr Wall, have.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: You done that with Christian Avals this year and trying
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: to get him for the ball to pay for more plays?
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean we're I'm all for Gonzo making as
• 43:20
  Speaker 15: many plays as possible and being active. And he doesn't
• 43:23
  Speaker 15: get targeted, you know, as much either. But you know
• 43:28
  Speaker 15: there's times where he travels, there's times where he's in
• 43:31
  Speaker 15: different locations.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: And it was great to see his.
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: Ball production last week, even the ball that they caught
• 43:37
  Speaker 15: on him, you know, the hammer that he had that
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: it was close to being a fumble.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: You said before that Drake was one of the reasons
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: that attracted you to this job.
• 43:46
  Speaker 20: Just in your year working with him, What has maybe
• 43:49
  Speaker 20: surprised you the most about him?
• 43:51
  Speaker 15: You don't want to know what my other reasons for
• 43:53
  Speaker 15: company was I had a joke teed up, it's going
• 43:57
  Speaker 15: to be the media, but.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you, You're welcome. Only you.
• 44:06
  Speaker 15: He just continues to grow, and again, I think I'm
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: excited for for these guys to to be in this
• 44:13
  Speaker 15: environment and to uh to see all their hard work
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: payoff and and be able to play.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: In a game like this. That's you know, I think
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of growth from this.
• 44:23
  Speaker 15: Football team over the course of the off season, the season,
• 44:27
  Speaker 15: and uh, you know, just another opportunity for us to
• 44:30
  Speaker 15: to show that this week.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks guys.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: All right, that's Mike Rabel thoughts Mike with the jokes,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: any uh typical typical stuff.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: You know, I think there was, you know, one mildly
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: interesting thing I hadn't really thought about Christian Barmore in
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: his blood clot situation, going out to den, going out
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: to the high altitude, you know, something that I guess
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Rabel said that they've taken into consideration. Obviously not going
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: to put someone in harm's way, but you know a
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: lot of just regular stuff.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: I would think, Yeah, I sense a just.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Kind of a calmness, a quiet confidence. Yeah, you know,
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: and I think they should be a confident they ainate.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: No on the road, they're playing a team with their
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback, and I think they they fully expect to
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: have success.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: And I think when your defense has been playing as
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: well as it has the last two games, that to me,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: that gives me confidence.
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I said it yesterday.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: When I watch a game in the Patriot's defense is
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: handling their job, their business, I get confident.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more, you know, So yeah, I share
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: his confidence that way. Yeah.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: I was, you know, Evan and I because I had
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: a sub in for for Mike this morning when we
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: did a little game preview and when Evan and I
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: were walking back and we were talking about just that, like,
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: you know, the way the defensive line is played, this
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: would be a tougher test because it's not a banged
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: up offensive line like you've seen the last two weeks.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: And it's better. But you know, and I said, yeah,
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: and you'll know right away like that first quarter. You know,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: if Denver goes comes out and they have like the
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton thing where you know the script is working
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: and they go right down the field and they score,
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: I might change my view. I might say, Okay, it's
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: game on, like they came to play offensively, whereas the
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: opposite has been true in these two playoff games. The
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: Patriots defense has just completely dictated it right from the
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: opening kickoff right and you look and you say.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: They're not allowing a lot of points today. You could
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: see it in the first quarter.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: They were not going to allow a lot of points
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: unless the Patriots scored it for them, score it points
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: for the opponent. And again, as long as the offense
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: protects the ball, I have faith that they will move
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: it and score it more than they have in the
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: first two playoff games.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Anthony says the only reason US fans are saying the
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Broncos have a shot is simply to prevent the jinks.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Paul's right.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Also, it's absolutely a knife to a gunfight, and we
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: got Drago. We're back. Wake up, Fred, That's what he
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: says to me.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: I like when they chastise you and not me for
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: a change. That's fun.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: But Kevin in Ireland says, I agree with Fred that
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Denver has a few paths to victory. I don't think
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: this will be an easy game because Denver should give
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: one hundred and ten percent the danger. I think is
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: not necessarily whether may struggles. I think the key is
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: the Patriots mindset. If Stidham is serviceable, there's always a
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: decent chance that he gets a win. Not probable, but
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: distinctly possible. The likelihood of it hinges on the Patriots
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: maintaining the same intensity.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Yep. Intensity.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: So again, if the path to a victory for Denver
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: involves the Patriots not taking the game seriously and whatnot, yeah,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I expect Denver to go into the game
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: believing it can win and putting everything that they have
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: into the game. I expect the Patrie just do the same,
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: right Yeah, yep? Like this is you're playing to go
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: to the super Bowl.
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: It's not a regular season game against a trap quarterback.
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: It's the AFC Championship. How many of these players have
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: never even sniffed this game?
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: I just I can't again if I'm not telling you
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: that this game is not losable. Anytime you play poorly
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: in an NFL game, you can lose. Yep, you know
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: the difference, you know, Like Fred, you made the point,
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: like the Broncos have a lot of other things that
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: are pretty I agree. I think ultimately it's gonna come
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: down to can they score enough points to win? And
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: I think no because of their situation. But I don't
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: expect Denver to roll over and make it easy for
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: the Patriot.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: Nathan says, huge break with bow Nick's out of the lineup,
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: which has led much of Patriot's nation be overconfident. I've
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: been hearing a ton of banter about who the Patriots
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: fans would rather play in the Super Bowl, completely overlooking
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: the Broncos. We have not won in Denver in the postseason,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: and the way that Drake May has played these last
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: two games may not be good enough, regardless of who's
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: playing QB for Denver. Will Campbell is at the top
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: of my concern. Drake holding onto the ball as another one.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: And lastly, pressure against the Broncos o line may allow
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Stitty to hit receivers that Herbert and Stroud couldn't m legitimate.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: It's all, yeah, those are possibilities. And again he started
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: the whole thing with if May keeps putting yes, right,
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: you don't think he will right?
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: I have some faith that we've seen the worst of May, right,
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: and fortunately for the Patriots, they were able to overcome
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: it because of a couple of factors, not the least
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: of which I think Rabel alluded to in his press conference.
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: They were able to mitigate bad plays that didn't come
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: back to haunt them later in the game because they
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: recovered some of the fumbles. Yeah, but if May puts
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: the ball on the ground four times and throws a pick,
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: You're going to be in trouble.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not expecting that.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Todd and Gnner, I'm gonna need help with this one. Finally,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: I heard someone make Drake's nickname something worthy of comment.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Thing.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: A young girl, maybe a tweener, called into Fitsie and
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Heart to dedicate a song to Drake May Silento's whip
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Nee Nee. I don't know that the song her vocals
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: were watched the Drake watch the May May probably need
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Alex or maybe Evan to properly appreciate her effort. Seriously,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: you should see if you can get a hold of her,
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: especially if the Patriots win. Patriot's thirty one, Horse's thirteen.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I've never you know Cilento? Do you know who Silento is?
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know who Sonto is, but I think I
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: know the song.
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know the song the copyright, but no, I
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: just see two kids write like more of like a
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: folky country song about Drake.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: It was actually like the bluegrass kids.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. Wow you didn't like it?
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: No, I mean, I'm not like listening into in the car.
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: I'm like by myself to a jam. But like I
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: could appreciate it, and I thought it was good.
• 50:55
  Speaker 12: I thought it was good.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I listened to. Maybe it's not the same one because
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: the one I saw was like, how about a little efforts?
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: They were good?
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were They were really good.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: It was like you said, it was like a blue
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: grassy folk It was good stuff.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: There was guys playing guitar stuff from North Carolina.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: I'll have to look at it. You can, we can
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: show it to me.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe I missed.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: I missed Chester's in Portland. What's up Chester?
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: Hey, what's up guys, it's been a minute. I wanted
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: to chime in on this excitement. You know, to me,
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: winning in Denver is never a given. You know, I
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: remember losing the Bronck Osweiler. You know, it was a
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: November game and it kind of swayed the momentum going
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: into the playoffs for us. That's kind of the loan
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: thing that sticks in my mind with this did a matchup,
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: but you know I'm with Brandon then I think this
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: game could be tough sledding against this defense if we're
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: not careful. And you know, the key is the is
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: the sant long drives and try to cast these guys out.
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: They play with a lot of energy and a lot
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: of intensity, just like our unit. And you know, Houston
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: might be a tougher defense overall, but this defense, this
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: Denver defense, if they get hot, you know, if we
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: got a key on stopping Nick Bonito. And the key
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: to this game is all about attitude, just like that
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: email or just said, and an.
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: Execution of course.
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: You know, if the pass can continue with this level
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: of aggression and toughness, I love our chances of winning
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: big and running away with it. But you know that said,
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: if we keep a minute, you know who knows and
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: you know something weird can happen on special teams or turnover.
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: You know that said, it's time to get Denver. I'm
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: ass kicking this week. I'm thinking twenty four sixteen ish,
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: you know, if we can just try to stay ahead
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: and keep that but let's get it, Let's get a win,
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: and let's get back to that Super Bowl. Baby, I'm
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: fired up by apparel passination.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Let's get it.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Let's go, let's go buy a peril by your AFC
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: Championship apparel.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Absolutely I like this email DARPin in New York City. First,
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: the trivia question for Paul, who is the winning is
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: QB and Patriots history? Hopefully that has broad enough and
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: not too granular. For Fred, it's a good whow, but
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: it's for you, all right. The real reason I wrote
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: the sins of the father are to be laid upon
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: the children is a quote from the Merchant of Venice.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Is that why the broader NFL media keep picking against
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: the Patriots, keep questioning how good they are, keep questioning
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: their victories. This is a really humble, awesome and lovable
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: group from head coach to the players. So my hope
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: is they could stop having to carry the burden of
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: the sins slash winning from the dynasty days and can
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: be appreciated.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: For who they are here here, just to like set
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: the record straight, everybody picked the Patriots against the Chargers.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: There was a handful of people who pick Houston, but
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: like literally they had like handful dozens of people, But
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: the people on NFL live.
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: Correct.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Almost everybody else is on the Patriots and that get
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: now listen. I think it's great that we used it,
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: like we should be using your stuff like we had
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: it on the on our post game show.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right away we had the whole graphic and it
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: was funny, like the all five of them, I'll pick
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Houston and then you kind of get a little peek
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: inside of it when they start talking about it and
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: they're like, we didn't. I kind of thought I was
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: gonna be the only one to take you. So they
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: don't even pick what they can now I know it's
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: like they picked just to try to like what you think.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Have those picks come out yet from the described.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but hopefully there's a few that picked
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: Denver so the Patriots can win.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: I will bet you that there will be some picking
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Denver just to be like, you know, look at me and.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: I just say like, yeah, the whole picking thing bugs me,
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Like I don't mean, I don't mean the fact that
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: people pick it, the.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Fact that like people give credence to it, well they
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: get mad at it, like yeah.
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: Man, so we're tribal creatures.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you don't respect us. But that's not hate.
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: Like when if you think one team might win a game,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: like that's not like a referendum on what you think
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: of that team, do you know what I mean?
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Like maybe maybe it is okay.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: You know, it is a referendum if if you pick
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: against the other team, you think the other team's better.
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: I don't think if one or two people picked Houston
• 55:21
  Speaker 7: first last week it would be a big deal to
• 55:24
  Speaker 7: the fact that everyone did, like it was just.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think everyone did. I think everyone in NFL
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Live did well.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: They put their name to it. That's but my point is.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that like they don't think the Patriots
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: are any good.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Maybe they thought Houston was really good and they thought
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: pick that Houston was going to win the game. Like
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: it This is like the Sins of the Father. You know,
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: this is not hatred from the Patriots right now. It's
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: kind of a love fest for the Patriots.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: The ESPN people can't stop gushing about Drake May and
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Mike grayble Now.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: Listen, I know that if with Patriots do go to
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, whoever they play, oh those teams, probably
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: either one of those teams will be favored over the Patriots.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: But I know that there's a large population in this
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: country that don't want to see the Patriots win another
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: And that's just I just really haven't seen it. Now
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: if the.
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: Graphics people are making where it's like the whole Patriots.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: Fans doing it, Yeah, like I see, I see Patriots
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: fans accentury accentuating stuff that really, in my opinion, doesn't exist.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: I don't think people hate Kansas City outside of New
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: England like they're talking about, like everybody wanted to see
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: someone other.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Than Kansas City City didn't have the success of the Patriots.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: If Drake May does this for ten years, two three
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: years in yes, you're going to get the same kind
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: of hatred. Oh I'm tired of this team. They're always
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: here right now. It's I think it's an extreet I'm
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: with Alex.
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: I think it's a friendship.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: I think Rabel present me Drake May. I think Rabel
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: presents well.
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: Whereas the former Code get up there and just bitched
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: about everything all the time and grumbled and mumbled at
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: all the questions. It was completely like just rude to everybody,
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: and that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
• 57:12
  Speaker 6: I think Chrisma just alpha guys.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Guy, he's kind of a good guy. And I don't
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: think they got the same kind of vitriol they did,
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Like Philadelphia does get that, you know why because Syrian
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: he's kind of a dick and and they have like
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: the whole security guy there that that's like whiter than life.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Why does anybody even know this guy?
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: I think what hurts you know, I heard what hurts
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: the Eagles as well as their fans. Yeh, No, we're
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: not violent.
• 57:41
  Speaker 6: No, people don't like you know, we have cousins, cousins,
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: but we have.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: An inferior I'm not talking about violence now, we have
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: an inferiority complex.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: We're very sensitive that way. But we really we don't like.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: Throw stuff that you know, we're not We're not violent.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: We're not violent.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: We're not.
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: That's that's Philly like is they did like vikings fans
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: that Super Bowl like throwing rocks at Grandma's and stuff.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I agree, like, you know, we're not throwing snowballs at
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Santa Claus.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: We're very sensitive England because but don't but.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Don't pick against the Patriots and expect not to hear
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: about it from every one of.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Them because We're very sensitive. We're very sensitive.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: I like that's why people nationally Okay, I don't like it.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: I hear that, I hear it, but but at least
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: we don't we're not violent. James the most interesting caller
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: in the world.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: What's up? Uh?
• 58:37
  Speaker 20: A couple of points before I start calling you a
• 58:39
  Speaker 20: frul Fred, because you are a fool, so thoughts and
• 58:45
  Speaker 20: solidarities of Mike. So I'm trying to put through. Secondly,
• 58:48
  Speaker 20: spirit of trivia. I've never heard like strong, relatively well traveled,
• 58:52
  Speaker 20: so I'm going to be easing spirit of trivia if
• 58:55
  Speaker 20: that works.
• 58:58
  Speaker 21: So the reason I think you're a fraud.
• 59:00
  Speaker 20: Is I got a question for you, Fred, would you
• 59:02
  Speaker 20: be more or less worried if Mac Jones was playing
• 59:06
  Speaker 20: quarterback for the Broncos.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: I'd probably be as worried as I am right now.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think Matt's that.
• 59:12
  Speaker 20: Good, and I refuse to believe. Do you realize the
• 59:16
  Speaker 20: difference in see, you probably don't know what mac Jones's
• 59:20
  Speaker 20: record is this year, but the fact that you will
• 59:22
  Speaker 20: think that mac Jones is the same level as Jerbs
• 59:25
  Speaker 20: didn't It makes me insat anyway. So I'll try and
• 59:28
  Speaker 20: calm down about it, but the only way we lose.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: But you're missing my point. You're missing my point, James,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: Now now listen, you're missing my point. I'm not worried
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: because of Jared's Stidham. I'm worried because the Denver is
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: a good team with a good coach.
• 59:43
  Speaker 20: Listen to Fred. Listen, Fred, Josh McDaniels and Mike Rabel
• 59:49
  Speaker 20: will not let Drake May throw three pick sixes, which
• 59:53
  Speaker 20: is the only way we lose this game.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Did they let them last? I mean they have, you know,
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: some control over that, but not total control.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 22: But this is what it's going to take.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 20: It's going to take three schools from their defense, and
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 20: the pick six is different from just a pick.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: I hope you're right. I hope you're right that.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 20: I mean, Jared Stidham is not a comparable quarterback. I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 20: understand that the dender do have a good defense, but
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 20: we have a good coach too. We can manage that.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 20: We've proved that we can win ugly and win ugly
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 20: ugly ugly. I mean, that's what we've done so far.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 20: And I'm not worried about Jared Stidham. You know, Jared's
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 20: Sidham is going to give us opportunities to score on.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: Our defense or are moving on Fred?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 20: I deep down there, you don't believe.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: But see James, I'm not worried about jared' Stidham either.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not worried about Jared Stidham. I'm worried about everything else.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: So how do they score? If the quarterback isn't anything
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: to worry about.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: They may not score a lot of points, but they
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: may keep us from scoring points too, And then you
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: have to play that, and then it comes down to
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: a bad ref call or turnover, a fluky play.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: I don't want it to be close. I don't want
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: to be entertained that way.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 20: Great, listen, I guarantee you when Fred's gonna go. Patriots
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 20: forty seven, Last one for Mike get home, Last one
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 20: for Mike get home. I think I've found the official
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 20: bar for the Patriots in Belize. Of all people, bradmil
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 20: Shan's cousin was running a bar here and he's decided
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 20: to set up his own bar. So when he comes
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 20: down he may have to be opening a bar. And
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 20: secondly he's trying to get a stop on the Belizean
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 20: professional pull circuit. It's very Dodgy, but I said, I
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 20: donated trophy so we can give to the Fred Kirsh
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 20: Cup or the Fredkerch Trophy to the winner of the
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 20: Belizean Thing. So that's for an off season. We're definitely
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 20: going to win this game, No way we lose it.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: All right, Thanks James adcast.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Can I just tell you that's like the most football
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: centric call that James has ever No, I riled them up.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: I did, But again, I'm not worried about jared'st Diidham,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: worried about the rest of their team, which I think
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: is pretty good. Tommy's in Los Angeles. What's up, Tommy.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Tommy's been holding on Tommy. I forget the question now, Tommy.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: I remember the question.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: It was about how we play them defensively, has good
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 7: receivers if I remember.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: Long shots about long shots, I just.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: Remember hit him calling and me thinking, I like our secondary.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly how they'll come about it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Early.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: I think Evan and Mike think they're going to be
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: aggressive and going after Stidham. I kind of think you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: should sit back and make him prove that he can
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: pick you apart first before you expose yourself. Heard from
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: a guy yesterday in Denver who has respect for the
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: Broncos offensive line but thinks it might be a tad overrated.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: So maybe I'm giving too much respect to that offensive line.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Maybe you should just go after it and prove and
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: make them prove that they can block it up. But
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: my feeling is you you confused them a little bit.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: And how can he not get confused? He hasn't seen
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: this stuff.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: And that's what they've been doing. Like this guy's name.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: They confused Herbert Coverages Androud, you know.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, I get that fair enough. One more email
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: and then we're going to take a break. Marty and Reno,

• 1:06:45
  Speaker 19: it got a lot of mental reps in there. Got
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 19: to get going a little bit. But are you working
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 19: on loud?
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: A lot of sound?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 19: You already know, you already know there's speakers going everywhere loud,

  Speaker 19: weeks even blessed to play at home and had the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 19: great crowd here.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, definitely preparing for some noise there. Evin mentioned vibes.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: With the AFC Championship coming up, do you notice anything

  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 19: I think you know everyone's excited for the AFC Championship, right,

  Speaker 19: far ahead and you know, focus on you know, it's
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 19: a football game at the end of.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: The day and you know it's winner and go home.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 19: So just kind of bring a positive vies, but also
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 19: bringing those focused vibes, you know, to make sure that
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 19: you know we're ready to go on Sunday.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 13: I wanted to ask you about the drive in the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 13: fourth quarter last week where you guys ran the ball
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 13: off your own goal line and.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Through a couple of good blocks in there. I saw,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: and that was good to see.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 13: Just what's that like to you know, get that those
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 13: calls in the huddle, knowing you guys are just going
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 13: to try to run the ball and being able to
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 13: come through.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it's awesome, you know, especially for me, Like I
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 19: love blocking. I love anytime I get to, you know,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 19: get out there on that field, and you know, I
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 19: think blocking has helped me get out there, you know,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 19: kind of earn a roll a little bit. But so
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 19: I take pride in that. And you know, me and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 19: Booty were laughing about it kind of in the hole
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 19: during the game. You're like, you already know what play
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 19: is coming, so we line it up just kind of
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 19: knowing that, you know, we got to get some yards
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 19: to run this clock down and win this game.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: You got Petrio on one of them.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 13: He tried to come through get a tackle for loss
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 13: and you got him, reminder, danced around him. Just take
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: me through that play because it seemed like he blitzed
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 13: at the very last second.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's a great player.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 19: You know, we kind of knew going into a week
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 19: that he was going to try to do some of that,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 19: and he actually got me like three plays earlier on
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 19: that almost the same play, and you know, I'm glad
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 19: we came back to and I.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: Hit him there and Remondre, you know, made a play.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: How much has Mac Collins helped you in the blocking game?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 19: Huge, you know, especially just getting to watch him the
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 19: first couple of weeks and how he did it, his
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 19: mentality going into it about like man, just don't let
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 19: my guy make the play in the ball carrier. Continue
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 19: to finish the effort. It's always there, you know, it's
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 19: on the tape, you can see it. And then when
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 19: he when he got hurt. Just getting the opportunity to
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 19: sit down and watch clips of me doing it now
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 19: and he's coaching me up, you know, after practice.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 19: So that was super helpful. You know, he's been there
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 19: for me, you know, since I got here. But yeah,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 19: he's definitely he's a leader in the room and on
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 19: the team. And then his blocking is just tremendous. I
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 19: love watching it.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, you.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 13: Guys have been pretty close and kind of followed his
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 13: lead a little bit. How has that continued since he's
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 13: you know, obviously been on injured reserve, Like you're still
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 13: doing the same routine that, yeah, you doing and everything.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're still sticking to it.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 19: Definitely, his routine changes a little bit with trying to
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 19: trying to get healthy, trying to get right, trying to
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 19: get back for us.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: But you know, we're still watching. He's running the meetings.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: You know, we're watching the post post game meetings with him.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 19: You know, he's always got great coaching points for all
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 19: of us, top down, and you know, it's just it's
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 19: cool when you got vets in the room that hold
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 19: everyone accountable, not just the younger guys, you know. So
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 19: he's holding Steph as accountable just as much as me.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 19: So it's pretty special.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: So It seems to me like every time you're called
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: upon you make the play, how do you keep that
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: your mind ready to go, you know, with the limited opportunities,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: but when you get at it, you put you execute.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, Coach Rabes, Coach Rabel always talks about,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 19: you know, preparing as a starter. You know, I really
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 19: take that, take that to heart and try to do
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 19: everything can throughout the week. Even early on the season
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 19: when I wasn't playing as much, you know, I was
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 19: trying to know the game plan inside out so if
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 19: something did happen. You know, we talked about our in
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 19: our room being a shoelace guy, so if someone needs
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 19: the shoelace or something, just plug and play getting there
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 19: and you know, take advantage of the opportunity. So I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 19: just felt like I try to do that each and
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 19: every day, and every practice is it's a new practice,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 19: you know, so just trying to take advantage of those
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 19: opportunities like.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: That last one.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 13: For me, I watched you pregame a lot with Tommy
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 13: and you guys go out there and throw and you
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 13: also do this thing with tennis balls with some of
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 13: the other receivers. Just how did that kind of start
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 13: and what does that kind of help you guys with So.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 19: Like going out there with Tommy, I just kind of
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 19: like seeing, like you know, how it looks in the sky,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 19: just with the different lights, night games, stuff like this,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 19: kind of getting used to the atmosphere that way. And
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 19: then the tennis balls. I don't even know how it started.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 19: Just one day pre game, I think uh coach TD
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 19: had on movers like started throwing around and turn into
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 19: a game. And now all of a sudden we do
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 19: it every game.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: So I saw somebody throwing rugby balls out.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Josh Jobs.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 19: I'm not sure if the other quarterbacks too, but I
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 19: know Josh Dobbs, he likes formed out.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: I guess if you can grip a rugby ball, you
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: can grip a football.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 13: Right, You guys get pretty into the tennis ball game.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: But we get into it.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 19: We get into it because you know, there's you only
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 19: get like three or four minutes doing it, so we're
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 19: trying to compete and win a little bit.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: Well, thanks for coming by, We really appreciate it.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks good luck on some thanks for having me all right.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 12: The heaviest metal credit card of all time wielded it
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 12: Business Dinners like a samurai sword. It's a classic corporate
• 1:11:43

• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: I got the neighbor that burns everything, plastic everything.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: Now that's now that that's bad.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's even even I would say, But I don't
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: get mad.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: That's that must be an awful smell. Is horrible when
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: he does it. It's always the guy that burns the
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: leaves too, and it's up. I don't mind leaving, but
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: it ends up with like a blaze and the ashes
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: are coming into my yard. Though when he's doing well,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: you're not supposed to burn leaves.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: You can burn brush and stuff, but not leaves, you know,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: but people burn, I know, they burn everything.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: I got a guy across the street, it's dope smokers.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: He's got he's got his main driving his paved but
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: then he's got this back road which is all dirt,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: and he could. He keeps putting down woodships and every
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: time it rains, the wood ships just drain right out
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: into the street.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: He doesn't get it. It's like, it's not gonna work.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: How many times you gotta do this?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: He keeps doing it.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: It keeps just running right out.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: Just keep it dirt or painting something sounds like but
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: ali like first time, first time you look at it, Oh,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: that didn't work, and you don't do it again.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: He keeps doing it. That's another great moment.
• 1:13:22

• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Oh right, you know what I mean, Like, so don't

  Speaker 3: don't look past Denver. We're not We're not, all right,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: I am, Yeah, I a little bit. Paul would have
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: the Lombardes on it and everything.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't do. I wouldn't put that.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: I would be like, ask you guys, what you're looking
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 6: forward to most for the super Bowl?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: We can wait. We can wait a week for that.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: All right, back to the emails and the phone calls. Uh,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: let's get back.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: To the hotline. It's I think is that BJ. I
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: can't see that from Zona in Zona? What's up? BJ?
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 21: What's up?
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: Everyone doing? All right?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 16: Okay, so Fred, I get exactly what you're saying. And
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 16: the people in the YouTube chat are staying the same thing,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 16: like it's not more so about stidim, it's about like
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 16: the fact that they do have other players. But I
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 16: also will say I gotta agree with Paul, like if
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 16: we lose this game, something's up, like something had like
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 16: like Paul likes to say a little smelly look.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I don't think it's smelling. I think it's choky. Yeah,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: that too.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: There could be a choke, Yes, sir, for sure.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 16: But their defense is good, all that good stuff. But
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 16: we just got to protect Drake May and play our
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 16: brand of football and I don't think we'll have a
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 16: reason to losing, honestly. Okay, have a great day and
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 16: I'm taking it up there with that.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks, j all right, I listen.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: I hope you guys are right, and I think again,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: I think we're gonna win, but it's not going to
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: be easy. Raheem is in Georgia.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: What's up? Raheem? Raheem? Hey, guys, Hey, Hey, have y'all.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 10: Have y'all seen this Sean Payton interview where he basically
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 10: guaranteed victory.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I I if you're referring to the quote about
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: our fans will have two weeks to rest up after
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: the game. I've seen that in several places. Yeah, is
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: that what you're referring to, Raheem?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite a stretch that that was a guaranteed victory.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Well kind of he's what say?
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 23: Yeah?
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: And what else?
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 8: Is it?
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: Exactly?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: I saw it?
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 20: They got two weeks.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: I saw it because we need you this week. We
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: need you. You'll have plenty of time to rest. We
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: need you because he thinks they're gonna win. He didn't
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: say I guarantee we're gonna win.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: Say those words, but that's the inference that we're gonna win.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: We'll have two weeks to rest. Yes, he didn't say
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have all off season to rest.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: No, he did not say, right, so we take it
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: as you will. I can't tell you how to take things.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 6: You're going to have plenty of rest after this one.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: No one defends the other.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not defending them. I don't think they have a
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: chance in hell to win the game. If that's defending
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: the other team, then.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Sign me up.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, like if a guy says something
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: I like, the Patriots have to play so poorly on
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: Sunday to lose this game.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: Defensive collapse of epic proportion that we've never seen.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: I'm defending the Broncos so much I give them virtually
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: no chance to win. That how much I'm defending the Broncos.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I did see that raheem, I I uh, I
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: think it should be in every bulletin board in New England.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 9: There you go, there you go, have a good one.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: All right, Thank you, you gave him what he wanted.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: That's all he needed.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: He needed the confirmation we should don't forget too strong.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: The T shirts, the T shirts made.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 11: Link.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 6: We'll have a link in the newsletter so you can
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: buy do strong merch.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: I may have well, we pipped him off there the
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: preview show too. We're gonna get We're gonna have pins made.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 7: Proceeds will be donated, have to doce his medical bills,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 7: the other half to Paul's car.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: In lieu of flowers. You can say, I don't know,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: you know whatever, poor Jews Colin in Kansas City. It's
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: been a magical season. We started by doing something that's
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: historically been difficult for this friend, which I was winning
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: in Miami early in the year, even during the Brady era.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: Why not keep it going by doing something else that's
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: been tough. Winning in Denver in the postseason not tough,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: impossible so far. Personally, I'm not worried about who we'd
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: face in the super Bowl. If you get there, you
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: always have a shot. We've seen firsthand that even teams
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: that look dominant all year can be beaten one anyone.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it just takes a couple of plays to swing
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: the game and send you on your way for this
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: game against Denver. I'm really hoping Drake plays a clean game,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: and more than that, he carves up this Denver defense.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: I love the way our defense is playing, and if
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: we see Drake eliminate the turnovers and get back to
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: MVP form, I think we'd feel a lot differently about
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: this team heading into the Super Bowl and PS two.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: So you're having fun yet.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: Not today, but listen, if all those things happen, Drake
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: plays a clean game, carves up the Denver defense, we win.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Walking away going to Santa Clara, you know, so let's hope.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: So Dilan in South Florida. In AFC title games, travel
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: in the event of a trip to the Super Bowl,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: how is the travel for you guys and other media,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: same plane as a team and staffords or other means. Well,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: for this particular game, some of us had to fly
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: commercial on the way back because there's more people on
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: the plane than usually. But usually, you know, are people
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: that come with me. We travel with the team on
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: every game.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: What about the super Bowl with it just being like
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: super Bowl is a little bit different, like Germany, A
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 6: couple of people on commercial.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, super Bowl those who usually travel during the season
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: will probably be on the team plane. But I'm going
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: to go out early even for the team to set
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: things up so everybody is ready to go when they
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: get there.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: So's there's a lot of different planes on the way back,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: so you just sort of go with they like, I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: assume that we don't have to fight Marshall back.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: Right, we have like four or five charters because we
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: bring down guests and that's usually the way on the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: way back.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: It's like evacuating the Vietnam and.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: I haven't, Yeah, I haven't.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: But yeah, generally there's a lot of different planes that
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: come back, and you'll be informed, Okay, you need to
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: be here at such and such a time so you
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: can go through security and do all that stuff.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: So let's see, David and Maryland got to ask. I'll
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: be that guy that asked the question, if the Patriots
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: lose to the Broncos, is the season still a success?
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, it is? God, how can it not be?
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: Come on, there's a and this is a common question.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: He's like, he's not out speaking out of school there.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: I think there's a huge difference between disappointment and success, right, Yeah,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: I mean I'll be And again I don't tell anyone
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 4: how to feel, but in my view, I would be
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: terribly disappointed. But I would also look at the big
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: picture and say, that was a really, really successful well
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: season and the arrow is pointing straight up right.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the way to look at it?
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: In New York it would suck for a couple of
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 6: days though.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Oh no, And I'm not telling you get over it.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: That was helped. Now it'd be really I mean until
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: you get what, like.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 7: When the season ends, I'm going to go on vacation,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 7: and then when I get there, I'll be like, you
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 7: know what, Like I was sad, but this is nice.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: I'm on a beach and this was a good season.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: I thought we had a Florida trip.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't know about Andrew and Coronado, California.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 6: See Grandma.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: We know we're back.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: Because, as Paul used to say, it always works out
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: for the Patriots, we had the easiest schedule in the
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: history of the universe. Two of the perennial favorites didn't
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: make the playoffs. The two playoff quarterbacks we face decided
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: they didn't want to play football anymore.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: Nick's got hurt and then the super.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: Bowl will likely face one of the biggest choke artists
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: of this generation in Darnold. The national media will say
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: it might be the easiest road to the super Bowl ever,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: and they'll be right. And I couldn't possibly care less
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: LFG and go pats Fred double checked my punctuation.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: What an email toured? The force of an email?
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: There you go, you just hit all your your favorite lines.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: But but I love the part and like and who cares?
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: Give me the banner right? You know, mister Kraft? Where
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: does the banner go? Right next to those?
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: We do?
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: We expand it like? That's that's if as a Patriots
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: fan who cares?
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: Christian Christopher t I a a n Rights and Paul
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: using Bianki's pizza weather guy is so Paul, is he
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: a pizza guy?
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: No, he's that he was an actual's pizza's famous down
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: Revere peach.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: Oh is it?
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I said. I didn't get that.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: That's what I was.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: Assuming he was referring. I didn't get.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't an actual meteorologist that guy Channel nine,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: I guess in Denver. Yeah, I don't know if he's
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: the forecast is right, But that's it wasn't like it
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: wasn't some guy, you know, holding a compass out his windows.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: Seems like, well, it could have.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 7: Been some random guy that actually studied this stuff, watched
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 7: YouTube videos, taught himself meteorology.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: Let's see fifteen degrees that kick off.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're talking about it getting colder and.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: Colder, freaking cold high a twenty, which I.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Don't ye by the way, I don't like that. For
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: the Patriots. My freaking gas bill for last month was
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: out of it's insane.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: I got a pellet stovee I'm done.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: I'm so pissed, like we're getting screwed. We are getting screwed.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 6: A pellet stove.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Get a pellet stove.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 6: Amazing. Yeah, so cheap.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: You knew she'd know.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: Something like, oh listen some outside I'm listening listening.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 6: Cost me like six bucks a bag.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: How many bags in you?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 6: Uh, one gets me through like a day and a half.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: So like, so let's say six bucks a day. Yeah,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: so six times thirty.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: I used to I would do a palette. I would
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: buy the palette of the bags at the start of
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: the season. The palate would last a season. Yeah, but
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: how big a house?
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: How many square feet.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: It's a good question. I don't really you can't heed
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: Fred's mansion.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 6: It's just hitting my unit two a thousand square feet.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 6: Oh my god. That's a good out of context line.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: That's not out of context.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: I honestly don't know whether I should be more frustrated
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: or cautiously optimistic about our offense after this game. On
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: the other hand, it's pretty just depressing that the Patriots
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: offense scored zero points off turnovers. On the other hand,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: putting up twenty one points a normal offensive drives against
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: that Texans defense is definitely something. Regarding Paul's point from Sunday,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: he mentioned that the difference in the game was that
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: the Patriots scored a TD off a turnover the Texas didn't.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: No, it's not what I said, but go ahead.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: Well he said, that's not correct, But looking at it
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: more closely, New England and Houston actually scored the same
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: number of points off turnovers. Houston's only TD came off
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: the May fumble, and the Patriots had to pick six.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying is the Texans had an opportunity to
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: pick up a fumble inside the ten yard line and
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: score a touchdown, and they didn't do it. That was
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: the difference in the game. That's the point that Mike
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: and I were trying to make in the post game show. Yep,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: and when points off of turnovers aren't necessarily the same,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: the Patriots had way more opportunities even though they didn't
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: score directly off of the possession that followed a turnover.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: They got all of those extra possessions. They had six
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: three and outs. If they don't get those extra possessions,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: maybe they only scored seven points. But they just kept
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: getting the ball back, so sooner or later, you're going
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: to score.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: And look what you know. The remarkable individual efforts that
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: it took to score remarkable. No, I'm serious. The Dicks
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: catching the booty catcher not every day.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: Place where it contested catches.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: They're not every day plays like those were remarkable individuals.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: Even the popcatch, I mean it looked was tougher than
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 4: people think.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: Jeff and Canada, the media talking out of both sides
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: of their mouths is driving me crazy. I believe this
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: Sunday in Denver will be a battle. It's a winnable game,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: but no, lock, I hate the narrative that it would
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: be a horrendous loss for the Patriots due to the
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback. Some people said all year Nix is not
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: the reason for the Broncos success, but suddenly it's like
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: they lost Joe Montana. Also, because how can that be
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: if we're four and thirteen team who are only here
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: because we didn't play any good teams by that standard,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: the charges and the detection should be embarrassed to.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: Have lost to us. Well, that's a little bit of
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: a stretch.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: Caught up, caught a bit of the Bills presser today. Man,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: that franchise is a bit of a dumpster file fire
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: being carried by Alan. He might pull Stafford and get out.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: I don't rule that out.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 4: That's a good point, that last part, don't really Yeah,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 4: I agree with you on the rest of it, but yeah,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 4: when you have that kind of just.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: Your coach too.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: And I just keep saying this, like the whole Pagola thing.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: So he made a big deal of.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 4: It being a bad call, right, the whole play in overtime, right,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: And then he says, why did he get fired because
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: they lost to Denver?
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: So what you're saying is because of a right, No,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: it made no sense, and that's why he's not telling
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: the truth. No, of course not. He's not telling the truth.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: People in Buffalo, My sources in Buffalo tell me that
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: McDermott knew he was gone. It was it was kind
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: of an ultimatum, like if they were either going to
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: make a Super Bowl run and he was out, it
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 4: didn't really matter, which to me was kind of obvious
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: after the game when he was as irate about the
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 4: call as he was to the point where he was
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: on the team plane flying home and he was calling
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 4: the writers to like and another thing, you know, like
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: I think he knew he was out.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 6: I mean at that point, yeah, go scorched de Earth.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: Ye Listen, if you're an owner and you have to
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: fire a coach, there's no easy way to do it.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: You just say, listen, it's all based on results. The
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: results weren't good enough.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: We had to move on.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 6: Just own it the villain.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: That's it, as opposed to like.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 6: Don't try to be like a man of the people.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: You're not you never will be.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: Steve Bushatti and Baltimore had this very you know, it's
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: actually even worse because the guy's been there longer and
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: had more success in John Harbaugh, and he was asked,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: you know, if they made the kick, would he still
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: be here? And he said for another week like they had.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: You know, own it, you will you dead. You decided
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: to move on, No one's going to you know, it's
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: your it's your team.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: Just own it.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 6: Just have conviction in your own decision.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: Qus in Atlanta, Hey, Q, not really, You're like you're underwater.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: You're talking into your pillow. Yeah, much better.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 21: Hey, I just wanted to have a schedule talk real quick. Uh,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 21: the Patriots after Sunday will have played every playoff team
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 21: this season except.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: What, Well, they haven't played San Francisco, they haven't played
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: the Rams.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I don't know what does that mean the Jaguars.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 21: The Jaguars are the only playoff team they haven't played
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 21: this season, okay. And the other two AFC teams that
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 21: they haven't played this season were the Chiefs and the Coats.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 21: So I'm trying to figure out where does the easier
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 21: schedules start coming.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: Well, if you have played the Colts earlier this season,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: that has been a tough game.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 4: So forget about the playoffs themselves. Is counting that that's
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: not your schedule? The playoffs are not your schedule. In
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: the regular season, the Patriots played four games against playoff teams.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 23: But.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 21: So who else are we supposed to play at this point.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 4: In the AFC they only played three playoff teams. They
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 4: played Buffalo twice in Pittsburgh, right.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 21: But the only other team.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 4: Contrast that with Denver, who also had, by the way,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 4: a very easy schedule, the third easiest schedule, only one
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 4: spot removed from the Patriots. They played six playoff teams
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 4: in the regular season. So, like, I don't know why
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 4: people can't just yeah, put this together. It's not you opinion.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about the people saying it's an easy schedule.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about it. We beat every team except for
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: three that came our way, and that's all.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: That's all that Patriots were two and two against playoff
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 4: teams in the regular season. They only played four games
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: against playoff teams. That's like, that's not an opinion, that's
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 4: a fact.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 21: No, that's a fact. And the other two teams that
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 21: did beat us the regular season were the two teams
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 21: that we wanted in the playoffs. Was still in the
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 21: in the bill. So I don't think we have false confidence.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 21: I think we have a good team.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: Who's talking about false confidence?
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 6: Like what is everyone?
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so Cam Newton was still giving Cam Newton
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: creedence for.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: Someone is because he's on the air talking about it.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: He was just.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: No, there's a lot of people, a lot of people.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're diminishing the Patriots' success because they had
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: an easy.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: Voices in your heads. I don't know where it comes from.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: I mean didn't who was it?
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: Olavski one of those guys said they should be an
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: asterisk next to the Patriots name this season.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know one of the nations. I'm not telling
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: you that. No one said it. I don't see everything
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: like you guys do.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 6: There with the easiest schedule, and that team never does.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 6: With the Patriots, they always do.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: If you have an easy schedule, that's a great path
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: to the super Bowl.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 7: That someone with the easiest schedule, historically easy schedule.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: No one's ever had this schedule. This is the this
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: is the easiest schedule in the history of the league.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: Like that's another fact.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: When's the last time? Other like the Commanders are a
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 6: good example, but they.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: Did they have I don't know if they had an
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: easy schedule.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: Schedule that year before.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: There's that year, there's was it last year?
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: There have been teams like the the one Rams is uh,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. The ninety nine Rams had the second easiest
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: schedule in history. They won the Super Bowl. That's what
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: happens when you like it's a it's a huge advantage. Yeah,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 4: but I don't I don't.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: Really see you guys.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: Everybody says the Patriots stink and they're only a product
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: of the schedule. I haven't seen that personally, but you
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 4: guys might be right. You got especially Alex is much
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: more in tune with what's going on on the social
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 4: channels and whatnot.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: Like I don't see my girlfriends too, are like, what
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: explain this? Why is there? Why is everyone discrediting us
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 6: about the schedule. It's like my my random girlfriends who
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: couldn't care less.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, they did the same narrative Celtics that year,
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: and guess what, the Celtics.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: The banner is hanging.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous, But no one's going to make you give it back.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: I know, So why does it bother you?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: It shouldn't.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't, That's what I'm saying. Cute, I lovely about
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. I don't. We'll see in San Francisco.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: I don't worry about any of that crap. Fun fact
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: from the account Qbami.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: Since the AFL NFL merger, Hello, sorry, no indoor team
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: has ever won a conference championship game on the road
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: in an indoor in an outdoor stadium own fifteen all time.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: The Rams are looking to become the first to do
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: so on Sunday. Technically, Rams are not an indoor stadium.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: It's an outdoor stadium. Three quarters of it is underground, right,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: but there are no walls and the roof is fabric.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: It's not so it's considered an outdoor stadium. I know
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: the weather's always nice, so it's kind of like it,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: but it's not. It's considered an outdoor stadium. So I
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: don't know if it would go into that if they
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: end up winning. I don't know if it becomes one
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: in fifteen, I'm not sure, but I know for a
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: fact it's not concerned.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, those numbers speak of themselves.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 4: The the dome teams when they go outside, especially in
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: cold weather, do not fare well.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, they don't, which is one of the That's
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 4: another thing going back to what Robert Kraft when he
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: was on with Beatle and Zoe the other day. It's
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 4: one of the things he said, I don't want I
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: don't have any interest in the Dome. The Dome teams
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: don't do well outside, and at this time of year.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: THEO rites in as we as a whole should largely
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: just ignore what the national media has to say and
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: move on with our lives. I saw a clip of
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: a show from before this week, and the guy picked
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: Houston because the Patriot's bread and butter is running the
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: ball and they wouldn't be able to do it against Houston. Sure,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: Remandre has been good down the stretch, but if you
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: watch the Patriots game the season, you know that their
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: bread and butter has been X plays through the air
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: and Drake may playing like an MVP. At the end
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: of the day, it doesn't matter what they have to
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: say because it just isn't important.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: Another great email.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 6: That's how I feel.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 7: Why would you give credence into the national people who
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 7: aren't here every single day. They're just picking up tidbits
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 7: here and there and are forming opinions based on what
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 7: other people are saying.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: Their parent to Tom Brady, yeah, I was here.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: I've seen that too. I've even seen you see what.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: I'll stop it, Paul.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 4: Do you don't think something happened in twenty twenty like
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: he was? You don't think he was ever going to
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 4: be a star quarterback.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: He was never air apparent to Tom Brady.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: I think this is we don't have to get into
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: a semantic argument. Well, that's what she said.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 4: I think he was supposed to replace Tom Brady in
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Something happened in that ota. He went to
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 4: a wedding or something and fell out of favor with
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: Bill and they signed Cam Newton.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: But that was not the plan. Cam Newton playing that
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: year was not the plan. He wasn't the air apparent.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: That's so what is your definition of Ara If he's
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: the heir apparent?
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: He was going to a wedding, really change Bill's mind
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 6: at that?
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: I think that really gives me He's peek into the
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: window of just how incompetent Bill was at the end.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know, or Bill just needed her. I really
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 6: like the kid.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: Bill lost in and people don't want to admit it.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: And we go back to some of the stuff that
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: our college have been taught talking about that brock Osweiler game.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: That's when everybody should have known.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: When he's got a guy on the practice squad in
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: a snowstorm back returning a punt in the fourth quarter
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 4: with a fourteen point lead, that's how you ended up
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: runs in that game.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 3: Christian in La, this isn't Christian in La. It's a
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: question for Christian in LA. It's from Brent.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: He says, do you not Christian?
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: He says, do you not remember calling the team a
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: paper tiger a couple of months ago? I can't keep
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: up with your bipolar takes.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: Can I ask a question that's kind of serious but
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: more like just wondering if I have definitions wrong? Is
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: there a difference between air a parent and replacement?
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, so then he maybe he wasn't the air apparent?
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 6: Air parent is like we're grooming you to take over.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: I was the king and this is my as.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 6: Like your son is your air apparent to the throne?
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: Like he's gonna be great. No, was Jimmy Garoppolo the
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: air parent or Brady? No? You don't think that Belichick
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: drafted him with the thought that he is going to
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: replace Brady? Well, I don't think so.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: Well maybe, but I think only Bill knows that.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: But I can see your argument that there's a difference
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: between Garoppolo and in Stidham. Like Garoppolo air Apparent, Stidham
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: was going to replace him because he was the guy
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: that was left here when Brady left.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: I will I will say either one. I would say
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: Garoppol's I mean he was drafted in the second round.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: They obviously had high hopes for him.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: Or Bill thought he was going to be the guy
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: that replaced Brady.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: So I think I could make the argument that he
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: has not been air apparent wouldn't have been a good one.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: I would agree with you guys.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 4: Then I don't think Stidham was the air If there's
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: a difference between those two things, I don't think Stidham
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: was the air apparent.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: Se Yeah, I'm not that stubborn. I mean, at the end,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: he was just going to be the guy that replaced.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, Cam Newton ended up
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 3: being his replacement.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: He was, but no one would argue that he was
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: the air parent.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: Oh. That was such a crazy year between the COVID
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: and the Cam Newton. Also, thing Stidham got hurt in
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: that and that lead up. Yeah, it was something something
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: with his bag.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think they were buying it though, but yeah,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: I mean they certainly didn't like what they were seeing.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: But I agree with you if if there's a difference
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: in those terms, then I would agree that he was
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: just the guy that was going to replace Brady, not
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: the necessarily the heir apparent.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: Yep, let's see Sean and Freeland, Pennsylvania. I hate to
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: say it, but Denver is a house of horror since
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: I've been a fan seventy nine when Craig Morton was
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 3: a QB in an episode of Mork and Mindy was
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: filmed sunny day to start, then ended in a blizzard
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: literally forty five to ten. Who can forget the l
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: Way years? We know Fred can the Peyton Manning years.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: No explanation needed. Even brock Osweiler had trouble, we had
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: trouble with and hey, who can forget Tebow?
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Never mind we dominated him.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: Point is, it won't be easy, but I think this
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: season is special and I see a thirty one to
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: twenty one win.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, sounds good.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 4: I vaguely remember that snowstorm forty five to ten game yep, vaguely.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you any details about it, though.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: Is Evan coming back? Do we need to wait for him?
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: We only have we only have two. But we should
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: spend some time in recapping though, Yeah, sure should? Yeah
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: all right, so, but I but no, before we do
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: d Is Evan coming back? He said he was, said
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: he might.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: Can you text him say, do we need to wait
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: for you to do picks or not?
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: No, we don't have to wait for him to do picks.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: We always get his picks off the year. Anyway, I
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: know if he if he's going to be here, we
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: might as well give him two minutes. He could be
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: on his way. I don't know what time. Do you
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: say the locker room is closing, Alex?
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 6: Two o'clock?
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll just be staring locker right now.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 7: Drake's standing ten to fifteen feet from Drake's locker with
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 7: probably Taylor and Alex. Maybe he's alone, but he's just
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 7: keeping a close enough distance to make it look like
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 7: he's not staring at Drake. But in case Drake wants
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 7: to say something to him, he's there and within the
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 7: hearing distance.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: This is so perfectly described. This happened. I only go
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: in the locker on.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 7: My round with his hands behind his back and he's
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 7: just looking around, but really like he's not looking at anything.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: He just Drake, if you need me, I'm here to talk.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: He liked that so perfect. I only go in the
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: locker room on Fridays, and I observe this on Fridays.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: He just kind of lingers around Drake's locker, hoping that
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: Drake engages him in some way.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: Drake makes like a straight remark at no One, and
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 6: I was like, Oh, you're talking to me.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: I have the answer to that. Tyler and Ludlow.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: With the Packers releasing Trayvon Diggs this week, it made
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: me wonder about a rules question for teams that have
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: been eliminated from the playoffs. If a team was eliminated
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: from the playoffs and another team had a key start
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: to go down like Boat nicks uh as a player
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: on an expiring contract ever requested to be released to
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: try to get signed by that team. I imagine that
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: teams wouldn't be lining up to sign a player like
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: Jameis Winston for the conference championship. But I would rather
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: my team go down in a blaze of glory with
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: the big play potential with Winston over starting Stidham.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can do that.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't think someone I don't think one of
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 4: the four remaining teams could sign Trevon Diggs.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: Really, what about like Rivers, Oh, he wasn't in the league. Yeah,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know that you could do either.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: But that's that's different. It's different.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: But I think that there is the cutoff at the
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: end of the year in terms of teams because these
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 4: are all procedural moves.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I might I might have that wrong.
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 4: You know, I do not know that for certain, and
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: I know that the waiver process would still you know,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 4: it was in play toward the end of the year.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 4: But I don't think with a guy like Trayvon Diggs specifically,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: I don't think like the Rams could say, well, Emmanuel
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 4: Forbes got hurt last week, we could use a corner.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think they could do that, but I'm not
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not positive on that.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 4: Maybe I can see if I can ask a couple
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: of questions to my cap gurus in the building.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: Tyler also says, if you need a food recommendation for Denver,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 3: illegal Piezz is my favorite place in the city. It's
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 3: like Chipotle if they serve alcohol and cooked with flavor.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, Chipotle, Your prands are like my dad Chipotle.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 6: What is it Chipotle?
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: Chipotle?
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, I pronounced her Beyonce.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: All right, did he get back to you?
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 6: He said he's on his way.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: He's on his way walking here or like wrapping up
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 3: with Drake.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: On my way Now.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 7: I think he's just shuffling his way studio in the
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 7: tunnel und a little bit.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he doesn't pick his feet up when he walks.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: All right, So while we wait, one more call, and
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: of course it's Christian in La.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 22: Hey, you guys, Hey, you guys, Hey, you guys.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: I was not even gonna call today, but I heard
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 5: this your Broni joker brand from wherever you're from. Come
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 5: after Christian in La What I said, brother Bren was this,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 5: I was afraid the Patriots were a paper tiger also said.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 10: I also said this.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 22: In week fifteen, that if they proved certain certain things
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 22: and did.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 5: Certain things and accomplished those things that week, they would
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 5: prove to me that they weren't.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 22: And they did. And so I got back to a
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 22: place where I believe in the team can take it
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 22: all the way. Okay, that said, if this team goes
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 22: up to Denver and let a team led by Jared
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 22: Sidham who hasn't a path in nearly two years, eat
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 22: or even compete with them, you better hang your head
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 22: in shame and don't even bother to come home because
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 22: long So.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: Now their paper tip again. All right, thanks Christian, I
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: get it. He's right, he's bipolar, all right, Evan's back.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: So before we get into Picks House the locker room, tell.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: It, I think, so, yeah, we're about to find out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 13: Matt Collins was putting his pads on and looking like
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 13: he might be headed out to practice.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 6: Even seeing him in the locker room, I feel.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I think he might be you know, probably
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 13: still limiting all that good stuff, but it seems like
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 13: he's going out there. And Rabel has said now a
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 13: couple of times recently, especially that Thursday seems to be
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 13: like the real big day for them in terms of
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 13: you know, the most work and uh in pads and
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 13: that kind of stuff. So it looks like Matt Collins,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 13: we'll be back at practice. I mean, I'll be out
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 13: there in half an hour and we'll find out for sure.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 13: But that was the the big news was that he
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 13: looks like he's coming back there you.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: Go, guys, all right, Okay, that's anything.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 13: Else her from Morgan Moses, you know, talking a little
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 13: bit about trying to help out the two youngins on
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 13: the left side and you know, get them ready for
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 13: uh the atmosphere and the altitude and all that good stuff.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 13: And it was, you know, he didn't really say much,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 13: uh you know, to be like, I don't have to
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 13: do a ton to help him, but you know he's
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 13: going to try to do that sort of thing. And
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 13: uh then Kashan Boodie talked a little bit too, so uh,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 13: not not a ton happening. But obviously every all eyes
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 13: and in the media contingent were on Matt Collins' locker
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 13: to see if he was getting dressed or not.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 3: Any of the players wearing the strong T shirts.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 6: No, no, they have, they have.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 13: Like I was going to say, there's something somebody else's
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 13: didn't fight a little bit of a more serious fight
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 13: that they they wear on their jerseys and stuff.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: But yeah, not du du sorry buddy, No, No, okay,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: all right, Paul it's that time of the week. We're
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: down to two games. How did we do last week?
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: So last week overall with the full division round games,
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: Evan and Paul both went four and oh, Mike, Alex
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: and Fred all three and one.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 4: With the spread, Fred went four and oh, Evan and
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 4: Paul went two and two. Mike and Alex went one
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 4: and three.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: I believe that makes me perfect for the pre playoffs.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: You don't like it when people step online.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, and I wanted to give you you a flowers. Okay,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 4: so you hear the current standings. Evan leads the overall
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 4: just picking the games nine and one. The rest of
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 4: us are all eight and two. Express stick my goodness,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 4: ten and oh. As Fred already alluded to ten and oh,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 4: Evan and paula six and four, and then like Mike
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 4: and Alex are five and five. So I just want
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 4: to say kudos to Mike for actually being five hundred. Yes,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 4: at this stage, you know that's not bad. It's not
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 4: bad for him for him, correct, but ten and oh
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 4: for Fred.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: That's that's impressed.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: Bread.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: For all you people out there that have been riding
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 3: this wave, where's my taste?
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: All right? I need a little.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: All right, I need a little so a.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 24: Little what Let's let's start with Sunday at you know,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 24: a little uh, Sunday at three on CBS. Records at
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 24: this point don't matter, but they're the same. It's the Patriot,
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 24: It's at the Broncos crazy.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm a little disconcerted here. You normally skip over
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: the paper.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 4: Oh god, for nineteen weeks, you've skipped over the Patriots.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: That just changed my pick. Well, we have to skip over.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 3: We're not going to do it.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: We're not going to do it.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: We're going to go to six thirty on Sunday on Fox.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm a lot of sorts. I'm a
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: lot of sorts.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: You'll know who to blame if disaster stross blame Duke.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 3: I'm worried about him. That's all that's on my mind.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: He has the stomach bug. He's going to be all right,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: worried about Deuce dou Strong taking. Yeah, he's been.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 6: Lost a couple of pounds.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, back then, good, he's diagnosed with the Brady bug.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 3: He's just sick of fourteen win seasons. So it's the
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: Rams at the Seahawks for the NFC Crown Uh.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks favored by two and a half. You have
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: to lead us off.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: That is not here.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's a that's a reasonable line
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: I would I want to pick the Seahawks.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 13: I think the Seahawks are the better team, but mcva,
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 13: McVeigh and Stafford in this kind of game, I I'm
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 13: going to take the Rams. I just think that the medal,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 13: you know, the championship medal. I don't know if I
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 13: can trust Sam Darnold in this spot. I'm going to
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 13: take the Rams. Okay, I don't like it, though.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take Seattle. I'm going to take the
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 4: home field. But this should be a good game. They've
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 4: played twice. They were both, you know, there were different
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 4: kinds of games. One was more defensive oriented to the other.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 4: One turned into a shootout. It could go either way.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 4: I'm rooting for the Rams, as you know, but I
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 4: think Seattle at home. I think the defense has played
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 4: so well. Basically, the difference to me is the team's
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 4: playing right now. I think Seattle's playing better than the Rams.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to take Seattle.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Seattle kind of was under my radar
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 3: all season, and then I started paying attention to him.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, they're playing good. Yeah they are.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: They're all over the place.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 3: I think for the same reasons that Paul said, I'm
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 3: gonna go with the Seahawks in this game Island. Yeah,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 3: they're just because the way they're playing right now.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 13: They're playing great football in all three phases, you know. Yeah, like, yeah,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 13: I watched a little bit of their defense this morning,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 13: and they they do a great job. They pressure the quarterback,
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 13: they will cover well.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: This McDonald guy, yeah, I.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 3: Mean, everybody's talking about Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel, but we'll.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: Get the job. He's done. Yeah.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 13: It reminds me a little bit of watching Houston's for.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: The finalists, right, yeah, yeah, he was one of the
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: five finalists, so he got in there.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 13: Where they just they don't make they don't make mistakes.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 13: They don't beat themselves defensively, which is a lot of
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 13: the times defensively, it's a it's a coverage bust, it's
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 13: a guy falling down, it's a guy not getting his
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 13: assignment right.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: They don't do that. They may hear and.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: Everybody strikes me as a humble, tough guy, like he's
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: not like Dan Campbell biting kneecaps, but he seems like
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 3: a tough guy but humble about it.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or understated, Yeah, understated tough guys.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 13: I think that, you know, along with Donald being Donald,
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 13: I think the other issue with them is like outside
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 13: of JSN, they don't have a ton on offense that
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 13: scares you.
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: Charbon hurt Yeah, Charbona is out. That really hurts them.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: I know you don't think so, Evan.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 6: That's why I want them to win, because if we
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 6: go to the super Bowl.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think they'll miss him. That does hurt too. Yeah,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 2: that too. You know, that two back approach I think
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 2: is has served them well.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so you's right, they don't have a lot
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 4: of different options.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: You're picking the rams.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just going with the medals are a little tighter
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 3: than McDonald.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just going with the offense.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 13: I'm going with mcveigh's experience, Stafford's experience. This is McDonald's
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 13: first championship game, this is Donald's first championship game. I'm
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 13: just going with the guys that have been there before.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 3: All right, I get it. Now we go back to
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: three o'clock.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: I just hope it's not too late.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: On Sunday, it's the Patriots at Mile High fifty two eighty.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 4: What Fred, you got your wish? Yeah, evidently some money
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 4: on Denver. So it's down to four and a half.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 4: Patriots by four and a half. That was by four
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 4: and a half about a half hour ago, Matt As
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 4: we're talking, if you want to look that up and
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 4: see if it's changed like it did last week. But
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 4: Patriots by four and a half.
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: They've been listening to this show. I got people scared,
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: an enormous road and in this championship round.
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 6: What were our scores on Monday?
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: Do you recall, I believe you said thirty one to ten.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: I said twenty seven to twenty. I know that I'm not.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 6: Really in a little Patriots twenty eight Broncos fourteen.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 13: I'm at the same point total for the Patriots. I
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 13: think they get the twenty eight in this game. I'm
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 13: going twenty eight to twenty. It's a little bit closer.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 13: I think all the money that's coming on the Broncos
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 13: is well on the spot, and you know, the whole
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 13: the spread is big for a road team and playing
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 13: at home and Mile High and all that stuff. But
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 13: I think too that the Broncos right now are doing
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 13: a really good job of hyping up Jared's did them like,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 13: I don't know if they're trying to convince themselves of it.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: Or if the.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 6: Secret I don't know the playoffs.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 13: I don't know, But Sean Payton has come out and
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 13: said some things about you know, effusive in praise, saying
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 13: that he's one of the best thirty two quarterbacks in
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 13: the league. All the players in the locker room are
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 13: saying that he's been tearing it up on scout team
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 13: all year long, like they I feel like some of
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 13: that money is.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 2: Built and Williams evidently has never heard of him.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, taking the cheese a little bit of
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 13: The Broncos are trying to put out at least this
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 13: front that they really believe in this guy and they
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 13: think he can win the game.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I would agree that.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 4: They've done a good job of trying to rally and
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 4: they've doing all they can. If if Jared's didn't was
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 4: anywhere near as good as Sean Payton is describing him
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 4: in the last couple of days, I would look back
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 4: and say, I don't know what, you're starting the wrong guy,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 4: because the guy you have playing hasn't played the level
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 4: that you're talking about stideamatic. So that's a big, big
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: part of my reasoning. But I also am expecting a
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 4: nice bounce back game from Drake May. I can't imagine
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 4: that this offense continues to sort of sputter the way
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 4: it has in these two and I know they've played
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 4: against good defenses, and I know that May has made
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 4: his share of plays. I'm not saying it's been a disaster.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: He wasn't c J.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 4: Stroud Sunday. He threw he did throw three touchdown passes.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 4: I think he eliminates some of the negative plays in
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 4: the Patriots roll. I'll say thirty three to sixteen.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: Role inject that interest, playing the role of Fred Paul Parillo. No,
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: you usually say it's going to be a close game
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: fifty two to ten, but close competitive forty to nothing. Right, Yeah,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: what do you got they're making a pick? Yeah, so listen.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm not afraid of Jared Stidham, but
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 3: I do respect the rest of that Denver team. There's
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 3: a reason why they're the number one seed. They've got
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 3: a great coach, they've got really good casting characters in
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 3: that team. They're at home. It's a tough place to play.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a tough game. You're going to
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: be going into that locker room saying, uh, oh, we
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: got ourselves a game. So but second half Patriots have
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 3: made adjustments. Twenty six to twelve, Patriots twenty six to twelve.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, fourteen pointed it just you could still be a
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: close game.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 4: And I would say the two playoff wins that you
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 4: have were by thirteen and twelve, and I would say
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 4: they were both close games, right, even though at the
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 4: end of the day they were two score wins.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: Pull away, you pull away.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 8: I like it.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: I have faith, and I cannot.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 4: See this being a one score game in the fourth quarter,
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 4: unlike the first two playoffs.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, but.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 13: Years, I feel like that's gonna You know, last week
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 13: we had the screenshots going around of the whole nfl
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 13: I panel taking the Texas girl broke your heart, Now
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 13: that's gonna it. Didn't break my heart because she was
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 13: the only one on the panel that actually said some
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 13: nice things about the Patriots defense on Monday, unlike some
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 13: of her colleagues.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: So I appreciated that very much. No one keeps the
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: no one can seats.
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 6: You could do anything to him and you can just
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 6: keep crawling back. Yeah, you know she hasn't her him.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: I played the ball in his mouth and she's just whipping.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 4: You're determined to have this all go down in a
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 4: heap today, all right, On that note, keeping your unit.
