• 0:46
  Speaker 1: very well, and Fred kirshbing frank Wich decided to fire
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: himself by potentially not playing the quarterback that was healthy. No,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: we killed the coach too. I'm not going to try
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to speak in like Evan's voice, but I'm like nobody can.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They had the vikings as twenty ninth, late and close,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and Paul was Paul that that didn't sit right? Doesn't
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Are you sure he filtered it correctly? I filtered it now.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I think I'm right in the fact that we're still
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: taking calls about Bailey's Abbey is just it's because here's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the thing of just because you and I think one
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: thing doesn't mean we're right the best at his position,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: but it's also easily the biggest douche on the field.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And Travis Kelsey, Kelsey, what time do you have to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: be in the bus well? It was supposed to be
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: twelve thirty. This is how he shows it, like do
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know who I am? They just chill showing gobble gobble, Hey,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Pats fan, this is Patriot's Unfiltered fueled by Duncan. All right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: welcome to Patriots Unfiltered. And so, after entering the fourth
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: quarter in a tie, Day walked all over my open intro.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He likes to do his intro. Let us go ahead, pause, No,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that, miss Friday on a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Tuesday before Thursday game. But go ahead. I apologize a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: thousand times. That was very very rude of me. It
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: broke good to say. No. Now it's come on, I'll
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: get to it. I'll definitely now he's gonna play. I'm
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: playing the opposite. I'm throwing myself on the sword. I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was very rude. Now I'm intrigued. You were now about
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the late the late thing with Minnesota. It just says
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the update, the update of Knocket. They've they've now dropped
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a thirty second after entering the fourth quarter in a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: tie game and outscoring the Patriots tend nothing, they've now
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: dropped in the ratings in lat and close. It still
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: makes no sense. Yeah, how does that work? Anyway? What
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: are you referring to? Because it's something that Mike had
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: off of d v O A, right, Yeah, and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I had texted Paul later, which you know, I mean
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it obviously had no bearing on the Patriots game because
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they were the better team late and close. Um, but
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the chart I couldn't make heads at two. But basically
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: fine is like they just were terrible until like the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: last five minutes of the fourth quarter. And you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just in terms of port point differential, right, So isn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that the definition of Laton close be really late? So
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you go, they go down. I just thoughtways thought the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: idea was to win games. Maybe you're holding the paper
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: upside acting too. That could be too. I'm not anyway,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like any other stat about Minnesota that you want to nitpick.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm all here for because, as you know, I'm I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a little more convinced I was wrong about Minnesota. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have to say, I mean, they played better than I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: thought they would. But I still see a ton of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: flaws in that team, and I don't think they're that good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: But they're nine and two. So yeah, yeah, so we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: still need to tell you know, seem like a long
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: time ago. Um, but we're going to talk about the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Minnesota game. What what can we learn from that? Is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: there any thing hopeful that came out of it? Anything
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that got you less hopeful? Uh? And then of course
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we'll turn our attention to the Bills because we've got
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: them coming up on Thursday. And I think that's a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: huge game for both teams. Huge yes for both teams
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in a rare moment of complete agreement. Yeah with Fred Kerchy. Yeah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But so going back to Minnesota, and you know, we
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: do need to talk about it. I was very confident
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: going into that game. I really thought that the offense
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: was going to show signs of life. I think they
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it did, but I thought the defense would get two
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: cousins more than it did. And to me, that's the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: big thing that I didn't expect is really he was upright.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Except for the late Luche sack, he was upright for
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: most of the game, and I think they had a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: decent game plan coming out Minnesota to keep him clean.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I thought they Kevin O'Connell I thought impressed me. Yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think I think to you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just i'd give credit to Kirk Cousins. I thought he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was excellent, just with the pressure closing around him. I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: agree with your points about the pass rush wasn't good enough,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But I also thought that there were times where they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: were getting pressure and he was hanging in there and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: delivering some really good balls. Um, you know, with the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: pressure closing in on him, pinpoint tough throws. I mean,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: how did he define those with Justin Jefferson, You put
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it in his zip code and he was coming down
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: with it that night. But I thought he played well.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But I agree, I think that the pass rush it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: was disconcerting. Um, you know they had that they did
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: have the one interception that was kind of thrown right
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to them, But you know, you go back to the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: week before McCardy had one interception dropped through right to them,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: didn't have any takeaways. You get one takeaway the only
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so that's you know, it's it's it's these things that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: happened in the last couple of years of the defense
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to start to dry up the pass rush, the takeaways
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Um. You know, it wasn't as
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: bad in this game. They were, they were in it,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and they did get some stops near the end. But
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the offense, as everybody is confirmed, yeah great in the middle,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: showed some signs of life. As everyone likes to say. Um,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: but everybody has had, including Hunter Henry yesterday with the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: refrain of it's got to be better late, like we
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: have to. I mean, they turned back into the offense
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that we thought they were in the fourth quarter, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: well they did. Yeah, you know, I want to get
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to the offense you know, uh in a second. But
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know, going in again, I thought the defense would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: play a little bit better just in terms of getting pressure.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And you wonder, at one point do you say, Okay,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they've got our number when it comes to stopping our
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: pass rush. They've they've got an answer to that. When
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: do you like, say okay, let's rush three, drop everyone back,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: let's change it up. And they've done that against other
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you know, in the past two teams where they've only
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: rushed two or three and then dropped everyone back and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just tried to confuse the quarterback. They seem to always
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: be rushing four if not more. They never gave up
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: on that. Um So, I don't know how much adjustment
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was actually made. It didn't seem like a lot to me.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But that was the that was the thing. And but overall,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people said, oh see, Patriots
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: defense got exposed. They finally, you know, played a competent
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback and a team with weapons, and they got exposed.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And yes, they had a lot more problems against this
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: team than they did against the Jets and and other
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, and uh, you know, other you know, sam
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: ellingers of the world. And they did, there's no doubt
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: about it. But at the end of the day, they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gave up twenty six points, and you can make the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: case that they had some stops, and you know, if
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you take away the dumb mistakes, it could have been
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: nineteen points. You know, Like they didn't play terribly. They
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: didn't play terribly. I didn't you know what, I'm just
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: handing away first downs, three personal foul penalties. Yeah, I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: mean that's terribly that's terrible play. And I start with
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the coaching. If we're gonna we want to start with defense.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: We want to start with the bad instead of the good.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I start with coaching. I think, um a couple of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: weeks ago during the Patriots by Week, the Vikings played
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: at Buffalo and Justin Jefferson had nine catches for one
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety yards and a touchdown. And if I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: heard it once, I heard it four thousand times Sean
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: vic Turmos allowing Justin Jefferson to beat them. Patriots would
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: never do that. Patriots would never do that. Patriots would
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: never do that. And they came out and they say
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that that was the narrative, when like, where, what's your
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: source here? Who's saying this? Do I have to like
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: expose one guy in particular because he's a member of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the show, Evan Lazarre. Okay, he said Patriots won't let
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that happen, and it was all over the radio, all
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: over all the analysts, all over Twitter. Patriots don't let
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that happen. And then he goes out and he says,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Jones, you take him. That's not a good plan.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That's not a good plan. It looked to me like
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: they were more concerned with Dalvin Cook, which is completely
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of a game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: If you want to prevent the other team from scoring
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: points well, and then it goes counter to the strategy
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that they've had in the past, where you know, if
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: they want to run the ball, you know, to a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: certain degree, let's let him do it. Move down the field, Ben,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: but don't break, but don't give up the big play
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and don't misunderstand. That's the opposite of kind of what happened,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and don't miss understand. I'm not making fun of the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: people who thought I was one of those people. I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: said to myself, how can Buffalo continue to let this
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: guy make these catches? That's all they're doing. It's throwing
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the ball to Justin Jefferson. I was saying the same thing.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not calling out the people that said the Patriots
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do that, because I've grown accustomed to watching the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Patriots play and seeing that they don't let that happen.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: They make you do it another way. They make you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: play quote left handed right. And they started that game
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: just having Jonathan Jones cover him. They eventually moved to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: some different coverages, some zones, some doubles. It did. None
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of it worked because the other guy was better than you,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a guy that should have been the focal point of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: your defense. To me, Wow, Like, I don't understand how
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you go into that game and not say we have
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to do something about him. Well, he's the problem. I'm
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: encouraged that you believe there was something that could be done.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't a total it wasn't a total disaster
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: on defense. I I I, you know, they got beat
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: by a better team, but I think that it wasn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a complete disaster, and I think that there's hope there
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: for the defense against better offenses. Uh. So you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that's what I want to say about the defense. You know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Disappointed they didn't get more pressure on Cousins, Disappointed they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: didn't adjust when they saw that the Vikings had a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: good answer to that, because you know, remember after the game,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I forget which player it was, but you know they said,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know, Matt Judon, you know, the league leader in sacks.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So when they say that after the game, you know
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that that was a point of emphasis before the game
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to not let him beat us, for sure, you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And I I just you know, early on they were
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: playing the edges really well. Cousins was getting the ball
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: out and neutralizing the pass rush. And then later in
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the game. You know, I saw Jude On trying to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: do his little games where he you know, come on,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: they were ready for the he would he would just
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: run into traffic for him to go. I thought they
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: were prepared. They were prepared, you know, and so, but
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of adjustment. Like I said, on
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the Patriots defensive. Once you realize, okay, we're not gonna
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: bully these guys, you know, we're gonna have to change
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. Tamara and uh, Evan. So
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I want to before we continue, I just want to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: say what I just said to Evan in about justin Jefferson.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Do you remember after the Buffalo game. Yeah, we all
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: kind of snickered, myself included, I throw myself in this. Sure,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Patriots will never let that happen. They're never gonna let
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: one guy beat them like that, right, Yeah, and you did.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I sort of assigned that to you. So I want
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to make sure I'm being fair about it. I would
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: say I definitely felt that way. I think Jefferson beat
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: them against Buffalo. Against Buffalo, they it was nine catches.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: It was nine catches for one hundred and ninty yards. Yeah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And I said, there's no way the Patriots will let
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that happen. They did. They didn't, though, Oh they did.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: They don't win that game without Justin Jeffs Well, yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: one thirty six and a touchdown. Like, I just don't
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: understand how you can go into that game a touchdown. Okay,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: all right, I was wrong, and I guess you're not wrong.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I just I mean, they had one. They had one
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: thing on offense, It was Justin Jefferson. I just Stalen
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: had a lot of catches. They're tight end. They were
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: far more considered with Alvin Cook than anything else. I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: don't understand. I just don't understand why you would try
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to stop a running back over a passing game. It
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't make I agree. I tried to single cover one
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of the best receivers in football, failed to say it
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: was and then they changed and couldn't do anything about
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to say it was just Jefferson. That's it was just Jefferson,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that's all it was. Okay, all right, I mean we
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: could pretty it up and pretend that that didn't happen
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to us, but it did, at least against Buffalo. We
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: had to make insanely ridiculous catches. He didn't make any
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of those in this game. They were all in. Think
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the one between John Jones and Devin mccorreon catch half
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: so could catch that landing in his hands like it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: gets Buffalo always like going up, you know, with one
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: hand on fourth and forever and coming down with a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: one handed catch in traffic. Like he didn't make any
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: catches like that. It was was pitching catch for most
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of the night. I thought that they did way way
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: more to try to take him out of the game
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: than Buffalo you could even imagine, honestly, compared to how
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the Bills planned it. But then I lose all the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: faith if you think that they tried more things to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: take him out and just just couldn't do it. No,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that. If that, I mean, if he's right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I mean they had a few bracket calls in there.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They were trying to jam him at the line of
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: scrimmage when he was inside. I thought that they'd tried
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to take him out. But I honestly, I if all
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you gave up was nine for one thirty five and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a touchdown to Justin Jefferson, then you win the game
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: like that. It wasn't like he went for two hundred
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: yards against them well, and also in the second half,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: didn't his production go way down, but had the one
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: big catch in the second half of one set up
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the game winning touched him, but he had one catch.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: But and I think my Minnesota and Couzin spread it
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: out to other people. Yeah, I saw other people making plays.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that hurt them and that game,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: honestly was overreacting to Justin Jefferson. I mean, on the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: game when he's got three guys on him and nobody's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: over on the other side to help Jalen Mills and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Jalen Mills after the play is kind of looking around
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: like guys, like the whole defense ran with Justin Jeffers.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is that I come away from
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that game worried that if you're gonna go up against
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the guy, to Paul's point, if you're gonna go up
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: against the guy like Justin Jefferson and you have to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: double cover him because you don't have a guy like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a prime Gilmore reevs In twenty fourteen or somebody that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: can just go toe to toe with him one on one,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and the only way that you can slow him down
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: is if you double him, then good offensive coordinators or
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: good play callers like Kevin O'Connell are going to make
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you pay in other areas of the field. And I
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: thought that's exactly what ended up burning them more and anything,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: was the fact that Delon made that play at the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: end of the game against single coverage like that, That's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with this team coming in on Thursday night,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: is if you pay that much attention to Stefon Diggs,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: he'll beat your throwing to Gabe Davis and Isaiah mckenzilla
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: like he has no problem doing that. So I think
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this overreaction of you gotta take away the number one
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: guy and then having all these eyes on one player
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: on the field when these passing attacks can spread the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: ball around. I thought, that's really I think. I think
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I think their plan would have worked had they gotten
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: some type of pass rush. Yeah, it's a complimentary game,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and they didn't have the pass rush to compliment whatever
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the guys in the backfield were doing. Fred That was
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway I think from the game was that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was so comfortable, so comfortable, like he never
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: had a warrior's stress, like I feel like where other
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks have to scramble or they have to get rid
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of the ball quickly or throw it away like he
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: do whatever you wanted to do. And I really thought,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: like I said going in that that's why I felt
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: confident going into this game, is that they were gonna
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: give Cousins trouble and they didn't. They didn't. Yeah, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: honestly I thought that because number one receiver was wide
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: open nine times. I honestly thought that they played the defensively.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I mean I came in here after the Jets game
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and I said, they'll give up forty points against Buffalo
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: if they played defense like that. They came up twenty
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: six against Minnesota, who's a worst team than Buffalo, Right,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And it was the same thing against the Jets. There
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: were open guys on the film. Against the Jets, the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: quarterback stunk, right, The quarterback was awful. And Kirk Cousins
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: in the game on Thursday night, and look, I think
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Mike White had played in the Patriots scored ten points.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: They probably would have lost that game. I think some
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the pressure stats that you see, I like kind
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of do a double taking them, Like really like you
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: think he was under pressure on thirty nine percent of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the dropbacks. But with that being said, they had Kirk
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Cousins under pressure on thirty nine percent of his dropbacks,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but he was thirteen for fourteen under pressure in the game.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: He he carved them up under pressure because there's guys
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: open down the field. So if you hurry the quarterback
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in the pocket. These good quarterbacks and I don't know
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: if Cousins is great, but he's good. And these good
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks even under pressure, if yours open guys to throw too,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is still going to hit the open guys down the field.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I mean the touchdown or they play before the theeling touchdown.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: The big one of Jefferson, Judean's right in front of
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. He lights him up in the pocket and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: he just throws it up for Justin. Jefferson and his
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: guy made a play, and the Patriots two guys didn't
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: make a play. So I think in some respects I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: saw this coming because the Jets had open guys like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: guys were opened in that game. There's a reason why
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson went off after the game in the locker
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: room after they lost to the Patriots and said we're
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: better than that because he was open and the quarterback
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: was just missing him. Now that they're playing quarterbacks like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins or Josh Allen even more so this week,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna miss him. Yeah, see what they do.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So let's turn to the offense, because I think they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: did do some good things. I think, you know, but
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: they faded down the stretch, There's no doubt about it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: You know, when it counted most Mac didn't rise up.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: The rest of the offense didn't rise up. But I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: take some hope that the offensive line didn't poop themselves.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: They played fairly well. Stevenson is Stevenson's he's great. Do
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you think he can do that by himself Thursday night?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Oh of course not, you know, but he's you've got him.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You know, he's good. And you know, I think Hunter
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Henry is getting more and more involved in the offense
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: as of late. You know, I think there's some hope
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: for the offense. I really do. But they just got
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to put together sixty minutes and they've got to just
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: eliminate these stupid, dumb mental mistakes. I they didn't really
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: have a lot of those, honestly, I mean it was
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the defense with two face masks, penalties and unsports milan conduct.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Offense this time wasn't jumping offside Jones
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: getting sacked seventy, but I count like not going out
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of bounds for Hunter Henry. I count Mac Jones not
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball away. Yeah, dumb mentally, definitely questionable. But
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I mean I take all the all the optimism that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you talk about offensively, I'm I'm I'm on board with you.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: That's that's as good as they've looked offensively all year. Yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it was a low bar though, I mean definitely definitely.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: As we've gotten away from this game, I think coming
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: out of it, I felt more encouraged than I do
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: now because just you haven't seen it yet. You haven't
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: seen all the training camp practices. You never saw that much.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And I say use the word consistent loosely, um, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you know that much consistency. But then you look at
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it and you're like, Minnesota's pretty bad. I mean, this
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is a bad defense that they face compared to what
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they've been facing, and when it really counted, they couldn't
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: do it. So how much I mean, I want to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: take the silver lining and feel like, oh, there's something
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: coming here, but at the same time, it's it's basically December.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: We just saw them what put together two scoring drives,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like great, we'll see this week how it looks. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I mean I get it, there's there's something there, a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: little bit maybe that they can build off of. But
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I just I felt less. So you think it's a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: little about like almost the opposite of what we talk
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: about defensively, Like with ev just talked about with well,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: sure you were great defensively because you were facing Zach
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Wilson and Sam ellen Grow and they couldn't get the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: ball to opportunities where guys were open. You think it's
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the opposite when you're playing against a defense that's really tough,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: like the Jets or the Colts. You couldn't do anything,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and their success was really only predicated on well, loosens
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: up a little bit. You're playing his own defense. They were,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They were bad defensively for the first half, but really
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the first three quarters, I never saw so many guys
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: running free over the middle. And I don't want to,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to kill him. I mean
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: that's you know, to this point, we hadn't seen them
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: do that in seven on seven compared to and I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: did think the pass protection, as Fred said, um, I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: thought it was better. I thought I thought he looked
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: more comfortable right from the first series of the game.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna make a bold prediction. But this is
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: an offseason prediction. Bold and the prediction is that Belichick
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: will make changes to the offensive coaching staff. And the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: reason I say this is, Uh, there was just this
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: week they were talking about I think it was Alan
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Siegel brought up penalties. Penalties. You know, it's unlike this team,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, you know very you know, we're up
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: down low when it comes to penalties, and Bill, in
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a rare moment of whatever, said, wellsive not not not
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: defensive penalties. So in that, in my mind, he's like, Okay,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he's got his he's got a bulls eye for the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: offense right now, he's got a bulls eye for the offense.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Only five first downs given defensively, you know, but whatever,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you're gonna see changes made to the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: offensive coaching staff. Yeah, that struck me. I mean, I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: just you talk about Zach Wilson kind of going away
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: from the script, Like why it's just you gotta clean
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: everything up. It's just got to be better, Like why
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: why why didn't we not get that right exactly? So
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it's but I was going to say, oh, no, no,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not no, I'm not gonna say it. Yeah, you
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: know what I'm thinking. I'm not saying that. You try
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to preach to your players. You never want to be
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: us first them when it comes to offense defense. You
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: never want that you want, you know, but it happens,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it happens when one side of the ball
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: isn't holding up their end, when when the top when
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the head coach is thinking. And I'm not saying it's like,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: oh I hate my defense or I hate my offense
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, but when he says something like that,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: that means it's on his mind. That means he's been
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: looking at it. I think it's on his mind. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: just think it's a different reason than you're doing it. Yeah, anything,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: he got out of it on a technicality, but I
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: mean I think, look, it's it's been an issue. I mean,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: we just you know, we just ran down another another
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: game where you can list off a handful of unnecessary
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: mental mistakes within the context of the game that you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: usually the stuff that that they don't do, and I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: hate holding that up is like they always played probably,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: but it's just been consistent for what are we at
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: twelve games now that they play I mean, you know,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it's it's it was consistent last year. I just I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: kind of pushed back on the notion that they never
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: did this right, okay, because I think the part that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: gets me frustrated about the conversation about this team right
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: now is that everything needs to be perfect operationally for
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: them to win a football game, right, totally agree, And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: some point in time, the quarterback has to put the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: team on his back and win the game for you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: against a good teams at some point in time if
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get to where everybody wants them to get
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: to go. When Pierre Strong runs into the punter and
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the defense gives up a touchdown because their gas because
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: they thought they were off the field, the quarterback has
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: to come back and lead a touchdown drive and match
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: it right and go toe to toe, which somebody, I mean,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but that's what Tom Brady
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: would have done, right right. That's my That's my point,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: and Paul, you would remember better than me, because my
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: memory is terror when it comes to these kinds of things.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But there there were definitely games that come to my
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: mind where it didn't go well for three and a
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: half quarters and Brady would pull it out of his
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: butt or stupid stuff like running into the punter would happen,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, like you overcome it, like I made that,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I made the comment, Yeah, it would have been if
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: you went after the punt against the Jets or the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Colts in the previous games, they just would have stopped
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the next three players and made him punt again. Right.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You know, with this team, it's you know, Kirk Kirk
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Cousins is not great, but he is good, and he's
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: a lot better than what they faced in the last month.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: You can't give them along those lines. Like I wish
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I could say the Hunter Henry penalty, you know, not penalty,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: not catch call was the reason they lost. It wasn't.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even reason. It was part of the mentally
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it felt like it felt, but it was another one
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: would have right, they would have overcome that was that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: after the Hunter Henry non touchdown call, the offense fell
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: off the rails. Yeah, it's yeah. And then after years
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: strong runs into the punter, the defense fell off the rails.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So at some point it took yeah, yeah, it took
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: three plays. And then offensively, I would love to come
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: back here and say, hah see, I was right, Like
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Matt Jones threw for three hundred and eighty yards in
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a game against on the road against the playoff opponent,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you know, because he was protected well, because they had
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: a good plan. But the problem that I keep on
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: coming back to is one of the drives Jonathan Jones
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: returns it to the seventeen yard line and you go
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: backwards and you kick a field goal. We call those
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: pick threes. Yeah, pick threes. That's a trademark for hardy. Okay.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: And then in the two minute drill, you had a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: golden opportunity to score a touchdown before the half and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: set up the double score, right I believe, right, Yeah,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: they double score, and that Hunter Henry doesn't get out
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of bounds. Then mac Jones takes a sack in the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: middle of the field for absolutely no reason, and then
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: they throw a goal line fade to Kendrick Bourne. When
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you have DeVante Parker play, I think I could have
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: tried trying to target that. I would try another play
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and I would have run the same play to Parker
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and an end zone fade. It's not going to take
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: six seconds. And the worst part is that if it
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't also rushed, Jacoby runs a slant on the goal
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: line on that play that they threw the fade to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Bourne and he's he dusts the corner and he's wide open.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: So like it was a predetermined read because there's only
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: six seconds left in the half or whatever it was,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and he just has to get the ball out. I
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: think the early injury to Jacoby hurt them a little bit.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was right after that, I agree, Yeah,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And I think there was a play that they ran
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: to him on one of the third downs on one
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of the three and outs in the fourth quarter. Yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: that I think. I mean, it was a tough, tough play,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: but I think one hundred percent Jacoby Myers might have
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: come down with that the contested grab. Yeah, it looked
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: like he didn't have full range emotion with that shot, right. Yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And we were apologist, but Jacoby Myers, that's that is true,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: guilty as charge, But I think he might have had
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: that They had after in the fourth quarter, they ran
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: thirteen plays for fifty eight yards, and forty of them
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: came on the screen to Rumandre Stevens, I'm glad you
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: brought that. So they were. So they had twelve plays
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: for eighteen yards on the other twelve plays in the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: fourth PLA believe he had eighty yards on his last
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: three completion, which basically amounted to nothing. Yeah, it was
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the forty yards screen that you're talking about. That three
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: play three, you know, four plays later they were off
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the field and then two meaningless completely and I took
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I took out the last drive because it was meaningless, right,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and then you get into you know, third down, third
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and nine, and God only knows what Trent's doing. Right,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he throws a cut block for absolutely no reason, but
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: still there's an open receiver, DeVante Parker is opened past
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the sticks, and although Trent shouldn't have thrown a cut block,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: there is a second there to get that ball, could
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: have gotten the ball off. I know a lot of
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: people have written that he's got to throw the ball.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: He's got to throw the ball. And that was the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: one time the entire game where he got happy feet.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: He totally got happy feet he got, he sawed what
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: he saw what happened, right, and he freaked, yeah, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it was like, what the heck is Trent doing? And
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: then he turned That was a cute because now he'd
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: make it a fourth and sixteen and I'm let's face it,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: without a penalty, you're probably not converting that. And I
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: think he gave a good effort. I thought that was
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a good ballie through gave agil Or a chance to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: run it down. But that's a very low probability play.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I also, I wouldn't I think that they thought the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: defense was gassed at that point, and that's why they
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: would have went forward on fourth down. I wouldn't have
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: hated a punting it there either. We were talking about it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Because we talked about it, they couldn't run the ball
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, And what they ended up doing is
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: they changed the play calling because that we didn't go
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: We didn't go over this in the postgame show. We
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: dropped the ball. M Evans I think has a really
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: good point here. They'd allowed them to just mindlessly hand
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the ball off three times to Dalvin Cook, knowing that
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get stopped and we're just gonna punt it,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna make them go eighty five yards. They're
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: not doing that. There's no way they're going eighty five
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: yards with no timeouts in a minute. But if you're
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: on your own fifteen, Yeah, and you know, God forbids sixty,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: maybe on your own five. If your punter actually can
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: punt the ball for a change, which they haven't been
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: able to do all the year. Now they might have
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to throw because they might say, we have to get
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: a first down. We can't just give them the ball
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: on their forty right and expect them to not score
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: like that changes the whole complexion. I think they completely
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: took the pass out of the equation by giving them
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the ball where they gave him the ball. Yeah, And
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I think Kevin O'Connell did the right thing. Normally, I'm
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: a you gotta throw the ball to get that first down, guy.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Not in that situation, they weren't moving the ball. They
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: weren't going to eighty five yards, So just run the ball,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: run the clock, make them take their timeouts, and played prevent. Yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I would love to gloat about mac Jones. He throws
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a very career high and passing yards in the game
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and everything looked a lot better. I think they have
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: found an explosive play element to this offense over the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks from the buy Even against the Jets,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: they made some big plays, so I think that they've
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: found that a little bit. I thought he saw the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: field significantly better than he has all year in this
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: game against Minnesota. But it's still not good enough. Over
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: three in the red zone, three for ten on third down,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: poor situationally before the half, horrible in the fourth quarter. Like,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it's still not good enough. And I think everybody always
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: throws the defense under the bus, like you guys like that.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: That's why we lost. We lost because Pierre Strong ran
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: into the punter. We lost because the defense gave up
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: twenty six points. Like, twenty six points, you can't win
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the game. The fact that they're all ten with twenty
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: five or more. Yeah, like you gotta be able to win, Yeah, right,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I agree with I think the offense has to be
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: able to score. I think the untimely penalties definitely were
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: like a huge factor in their loss, and it did,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you know, change the momentum of the game, including Hunter
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Henry's non catch situation. But I still think the offense.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: When they got the ball with four minutes left, I
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was like, this game's over. There not scoring, like I
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: started writing, it was over, They're just They're just not
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and it's like, I hate to be the next I
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: hate to be a negative Nancy. And I said that
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: out and Paul was like, they still have time and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I just I just have no. He
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: was like, Paul's like, you're making me mad. I'm like,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I did you did? He said, well, I don't think
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: he is playing well, Maddy. He's like, he's playing well, yes,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: but he can't finish this. I can't. He has one
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: game winning drive in two years. He has one game
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: winning drive and needed a highly questionable roughings and one
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter comeback, both in the same game, both against
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Houston last year. And that's it. Every single time they
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: have to come back, every single time they have to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: score more than thirty points to win a game, they lose,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and then we everybody comes in the next day and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: blames the defense. I love your point about that punt though.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: On that fourth and sixteen, I thought it was an
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: interesting contrast watching Trevor Lawrence down the stretch because this
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: was kind of that game for him a little bit him.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I was happy to see him coming out, but leading
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: up to that, in that game, he yea. One of
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the reasons they had such a hard time was because
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: he made a lot of it and and I would
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't see or No, I didn't say who would
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you rather? I know you you like, but I'm saying,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: what game would you ra of course I struggled, and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: then with a game on the line or great and
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: then struggles, You'd rather have my guy rising, which is
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: what Trevor Lawrence did. I didn't see pick it up,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: pick it two coming back last night. I mean another
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: one I didn't. I didn't see as much as that comment.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Didn't see. Yeah, I watched that. I have to say.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: One of the great things about an indoor stadium with
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: an open press box is that it's very loud and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I can yell. Usually in a press boy you have
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: to be really quiet, but like Evan like, we were
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: all spread out. It's a huge press box, so we
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: basically had and I heard there was nobody there ton
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: of space, right, so I was able to say and
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: do whatever I wanted, And I remember several times going, oh,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: come on, I was just like a fan. I've never
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: seen you when they had the Hunter Henry, So that's
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: like the Hunter Henry thing. I I don't like playing
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the math game like, well, they lost by seven and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: that would have only been a four point like that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: changes the scope of the game. And listen, I understand.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I don't need anybody to explain the rule to me.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I understand that probably by the letter of the law,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: it's incomplete. I just hate it. And I thought they
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: fixed this. I thought that they sort of. First of all,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why a guy catches a ball clearly
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: has two feet on the ground, twists quote to make
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a football move, crosses the plan and that's not a
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: touchdown right then and there, and he's being touched at
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the same time, Like I don't I don't understand why
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: he has to go all the way down to the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: ground and then the ball can't move. And I tell you,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I saw, I watched I got a full dose or
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: red zone. Yeah, I saw like eight or ten plays,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: not the same but similar. Well, everyone's showing the Kelsey
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: play that they called. Oh no, I'm talking they were
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: all incomplete on Sunday, like Chris a Lobby. It caught
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: like a deep crossing route, catches it in stride, takes
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: two full steps, gets tackled, and then when he goes
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: to the ground, the ball pops out. That's downe by contact.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Like that's what I thought, Hunter Henry was right down
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: by contact and since he's in the end zone, it
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: should be a touchdown, right, So why can the ground
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: not cause a fumble but the ground could cause any
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: complete pass. It's stupid. Yeah, I also think that Okay,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the ninety seven yard return for a touchdown on special teams,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: that could have been the difference in the game, like
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the Patriots score, and then you allow him to just
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: there's a lot this a lot strong penalty was as
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: big as any play in the game. Care Yeah, it's
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: win a game, quarterback. Yes, And I'm with you. Believe
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you said if it has to be perfect, then they
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: can perfect. They can only win with one script. One
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: script only the defense dominates. They play from the head,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: they have a cushiony offensive performance like this is how
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it's been for two years. They can only win one
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: way and that's but that's the only way he wanted Alabama,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Like everything was perfect all the time. Well, yeah, perfect,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't even close though. Yeah, but I think everywhere. Yeah,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I think too, right, I mean, I get a little cook.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I could throw twenty out. Yeah.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I just think that he's never had he's never had
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: like the experience with like pulling his team to win
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: from behind. So you guys are doing a great job
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: of taking away my enthusiasm that I wrote in my
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: notes about the offense, because I saw looked at it
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: as to say, like if you had said before the game,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna allow twenty six points, I don't know how
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you guys would have felt, but I would have said,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: they got no shot. They're gonna lose twenty six to ten,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: twenty six to thirteen. Like That's how I would have
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: thought about it, even though they were playing a bad defense.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I just didn't have any faith. I thought, at least
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I saw a life, at least I saw a hope.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: He saw the field great. I thought he threw some
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: really accurate passes down the field. The deep ball through
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: to DeVante Parker was one of the best deep balls
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: he's thrown in the NFL. Yeah, that was a great throw,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and he made some really good plays on third down
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: on the couple conversions that they had. He made a
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: great play to Myers over the middle, or a pump
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: fake to move the linebacker then hit him on the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: other side. Like little things like that, I just feel
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: like he wasn't doing before. Pocket manipulation, you know, coverage
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: like looking guys off or pumping into get guys off
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the route he's trying to go to, you know, seeing
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: leverage and like the safeties and where they're pointed and
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, it was a two high
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: coverage against DeVante Parker, but the safety jumped the crossing
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: route and he saw it and he hit the deep ball.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: So like there was little things like that I thought
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that he was doing in this game that he was
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: not doing before. But it just, you know, the third
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: down play really bugged me because like that's been him
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: all year is as soon as he sees pressure, he's
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a different guy. And in that instance, you know, just
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: standing there, stare down on the barrel and make a
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: throw to Davante Parker. And in some of these games,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: let's face it, he's gonna he's gonna face more pressure
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: than he did Thursday night. Yeah, I mean, I know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I'm happy that they're playing the Bills. I'm actually happy
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: because let's get it overwhere. Let's get it overwhere. I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: do think let's get to that in a second hour.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Or I do think that they're catching the Bills at
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: a good time because of Buffalo situation. But you know,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the whole twenty five point thing, like, I don't know
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: what the weather is going to be like in all
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: these games. It's gonna be windy by the wayday night,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: but I don't know what the weather is going to
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: be like in all these games. They have six games left,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what the injury situation is going
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: to be. Like, let's just say for argument's sake, the
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: opponents and all six games for the Patriots are reasonably healthy,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: their quarterbacks play, and the weather doesn't impact the game
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: like it did in that Monday night game at Buffalo.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: If you don't find a way to win a game
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: when allowing more than twenty five points, you have a
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: good chance of going ohen six. Yeah, No, it's true
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: down the stretch because I don't I don't know how
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not telling you that, without question, unequivocally,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: every team that they face is going to score at
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: least twenty five points. But if you're asking me right now,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: will Buffalo Sco Twenty five Thursday night, will Arizona School,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: will Vegas, I'm gonna say yes. I don't know about Arizona,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna but I'm gonna say yes, that's the only one.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: That's the only one I can I can make a
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: case in my head right now of they should. I
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: think they can and should get that one. But after
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that they may out coach that to the point where
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: they were able to hold him down. But if DeAndre
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Hopkins and the rest of that cast is healthy and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is healthy, most importantly, because if it's Colt McCoy,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: they won't score twenty five points. That's gonna be a
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: hard task. That offense is broken. The only way that
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: they scored a lot against the Patriots, I think is
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: if they let Kyler run, which they haven't really been
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: doing much this year. So when I mean it would
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: say run, I mean like design design runs. But he
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: can still scramble. He can scramble. But I and I
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: saw someone yelling at you on Twitter, and you know
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: that's how they got him hurt, Like yeah, okay, well
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: you paid him two hundred and fifty million dollars to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: be a guy, and he's if if you're it's like
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: paying Lamar Jackson then being like, we're not gonna run
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: you at all, Like you're just gonna be a pocket pack.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: You're not. He's not good enough from the pocket to
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: say we're not going to design any runs for him anymore. Right,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: they had they had two last week. Uh, you know,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: he's got like twenty on the year design run keepers
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and if they do that with Kyler, but offensively they
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: look good for good stretches of that Chargers game and
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: then they just went It was kind of like the Patriots.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: They just went completely in the tank. I think they
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: had three three and ounce in the fourth quarter. It's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: just their drop back passing game is terrible. And if
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: you can get them out of design run play action stuff.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: But if you have Hollywood Brown and DeAndre Hopkins and
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: that Greg Dortche guy who's played really well for them,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Rondel Moore and James Connor with Kyler, that that's I
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: could spread you out. Problems that can spread you out.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: That's the formula because it's not just one one guy,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: it's different guys and a quarterback that can move now,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I think Cliff Kingsbury. I mean, from what I saw
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: from Kevin O'Connell, like, the biggest thing to me was
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: they were ready for what the Patriots had been doing
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: to every team with their rush package all year. And
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not breaking it down x's notes, but like the
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: little stunts and swims and things that they did up
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: front were they were ready for with an offensive line
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that was going into the game quote overmatched, And I
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: think it takes a good offensive mind to patiently say,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I know we're not going to be able to go
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: anywhere with Dalvin Cook in this game, but it's important
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: that we keep giving him carries because we can't let
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: him drop back forty five times. He will get strip sacked,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: he will get hit. And they threw it thirty eight times.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I think it was thirty seven passes, one sack, which
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: is probably a little higher than they wanted. But they
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: kept running Dalvin Cook even though he wasn't getting anywhere,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: and that allows the offensive line to protect Cousins enough,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: and the rest was on Cousins, who dealt with the
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: pressure better than as Sam Ellinger was going or Zach
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Wilson's all right, eight five five past five hundred is

  Speaker 1: have won it. Thirty three twenty six. All right. Back
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: here in Patriots on filter at eight five five past
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: five hundred is the A Sticket hot line web radio
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: at Patriots dot com is the email address. Deuce is here, Evan, Paul, myself, Matt,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: what happened to tomorrow? She eating lunch? But you know
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: what your jackets here? You know we didn't get to
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: what Evan's back from practice? Oh is that where you
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: came from? Let's do it practice and has done, has done?
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: All right? I missed that. I missed the jingling a
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: little bit. It's been it's been been a little bit
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: a hot minute. It s been a minute. Yeah, it's
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: been a minute. Another practice in another day without Damien Harris.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: So Damien Harris not at Patriots practice. He was the
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: only player missing from Patriots practice. So Isaiah win can there. Well,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: he was there yesterday, well and the day and Sunday. Yeah,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: but a DMP on the injury report, which has happened
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of times this year. So I think that
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: there's maybe mental reps going on or something like that
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: for guys when that happens. But remember dugger Kobe Myers.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I think when he had that knee injury, was out
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: for the media portion and then ended up being a
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: DMP on the injury report. So I don't expect Isaiah
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: win to participate, but he was there and David Andrews
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: still practicing. I was limited yesterday. They think he's gonna play.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: So he's telling Mark Daniels sounds like he's yeah, all right.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Jacoby also told us that he was going to play
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: before Green Bay I want to say it was, or
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: whichever game that was, and then they pulled him back.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: So I mean, look, he traveled the team to Minnesota,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: and I think that the cooler heads prevailed in that
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: situation and said, hey, you know, let's let's give it
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: a week. But good news on the other side, the
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: whole school got the flu. What Buffalo had five guys
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: not practice yesterday because of going around. Yeah, it's going around.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins is the big, the big one. I mean,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: he's an injury though, but you know that's one to
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: monitor again. Last week, Yeah, the same thing with Aissau
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and the Vikings. Can the Patriots take advantage of the
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: backup left tackle this week? I don't know. We'll see, right. Um.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Other than that, were they in pads today or no? No, no,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: they haven't been in pads all week, I think because
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: of the three games and twelve days and the quick
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: turnarounds and stuff like that. So yeah, no pads, no pads. Um.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of media didn't go to Minnesota. Yeah,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: they're where. They're back to the usual size information today. Yeah,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I would say most of the mostly you know, Bill
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Bill this morning draws draws a crowd most of the time.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, there there was a good amount of media there.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, very small Condigon in Minnesota. Yeah, I noticed
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: that as well. Mike blew us off, Well, a friend's
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: call because I thought was more important than Bill and
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: my understanding, Well, he's not at eleven o'clock, right, We've
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: got to make sure the coaches not getting sick, right right. No,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: But seriously, though, I'm not surprised to hear that a
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of Bills had illnesses because it is going around.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Well you kind of mocked me, but like they had
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: that road game that should have been a home game.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: So you're back and forth in Detroit twice in five
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: days and you're dealing with an incredible amount of snow
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: at home and it's not ideal for the Bills. And
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not giving them an out to lose. They should.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: You know, let's face it, the Bills are a better
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: team in the Patriots. They should win the game. But
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you're dealing with the left tackle being down now.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Their secondary's been in shambles all year. They lost another
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: player on Thursday and Christian Benford who's was put on
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: IR with an oblique injury. They've they've had a lot
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: of a lot of problems in the secondary. Do you're
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Dan Jackson bit o Dan Jackson's kind an illness, He's not.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: He's one of the guys sick, but he needs to play.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Do you think he can exploit him so bad? Well,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I mean he's like the corner. He's like they went
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: after Shelley on the Vikings. He was like a practice
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: squad guy. That they called up. That's that's Dan Jackson.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: But but for thee Yeah, I'm monrails Saint Brown put
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: him in a blunder for four quarters that game. I
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: did mention, um weather, it does look like it's supposed
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: to be windy Thursday night cold. I thought it was
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: reasonably mild, but it could be win wind wind. It's
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. I mean is that that's kind of
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: bad for us. I feel like, yeah, usually used to
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: be an advantage, right to be good luck to come
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: up here, but right, uh Jelanni Tavai to resigning and
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: probably the most predictable move of the last year two
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: year extension. I know we did a little thing when
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: you were Gonfred. Why why did they do that? Running
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: because he's cheap and does what they like, plays all
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: four down. I don't know. Don't forget his contract was
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: is that why? Sorry I missed that was literally said
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: that he was pending free agent contractor Jacobs is about
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: to expire? What about him? To him? That's called real night. Yeah,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: two years for four million extensions. So just I mean,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: he's such one of their guys, and I still think
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: they'll need to get more athleticism at the second level,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: but I think he does check a box for them.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: As far as depth, it's been much better than I
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: expected he has. He's made some He was really really
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: bad in camping in the preseason, and he looked like
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: a different guy the second we got They saw something
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: in him. Obviously, he's played well. Yeah, he's played well.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: I was critical of the role that it looked like
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: he was going to have coming out of camp, but
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: he's played well. Yeah. I mean, if all those guys,
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Mack Wilson, Rake Wanaman, he's played the most, he's done
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the most. So a little bit of a surprise. But
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: all right, five five past, five hundred days, ticket out long.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: We've got some people that have been patiently holding on,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: So let's go to them. Mike's in Connecticut. What's up, Mike,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks for holding on? Yeah, how you guys doing good? Mike. So,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: just to jump at something that was at the top
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: of the show, I think Paul, you and Evan are
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: both right. I think in the end it doesn't really
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: matter because Jefferson did what he did. But what I
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: interpreted Edvan saying with Buffalo was that they just left
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: their garbage corners on Jefferson and then did nothing to
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: try to adjust, at least from what I saw and
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: what you get to talk about, they haven't they done
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: what went from They had about four guys on that
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: on that fourth found play, Buffalo definitely hurt them. But
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: I think that, you know, like again, it's moved because
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Jefferson did what he did, but I think it's a
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: little different than what Buffalo did because they just kind
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: of let their corners die. No, I get it, there
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: was rising Buffalo, did I get it? Um? And then
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: the last thing before I got to go and I'll
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: take it off air, is what do we do now
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: that Damian Harris is likely to miss some extended time,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: maybe because we haven't really seen strong Kevin Harris has
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: not really done anything. And then the only other guy
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: that Wemember talked about is J. J. Taylor. He got
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: released from the practice squad and I don't think that
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: he got signed back. He's done a practice squad. He's back,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: So I guess what I mean That backfield is kind
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: of steven since and it really has been um, you
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: know he I think there was the one game, the
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Jets game where Harris broke a couple of long runs
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: and he had the more production, but the carries have
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: gone to Stevenson. Yeah, I do feel better if Harris,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Damien Harris was available. Not to go all bill on you,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: but it's good to have all of that, right, you know. Yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: I mean I definitely feel better with both. But I
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: don't think it's a disaster. Don't only have Stevenson. Yeah,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: but he's just that You've got nothing out of those
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: other guys. JJ Taylor continues to just kind of be
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: persona non grad. I don't know what they're doing, and
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: they can repromote him. This week, he seemed like the
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: next guy up. Hard to see Pierre Strong getting a
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: vote of confidence going out there this week and Kevin Harris.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's I just I'm worried here.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: We there's still six games to go. Is Stevenson gonna
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: be able to make it and carry the load because
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: right now with Damian Harris, really just worry about So
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: was this an another thigh injury that you know, season ending,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: but he might be able to play in two weeks now.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: This one seemed a little bit milder. He was on
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: crutches on Thursday, So we'll see, but I think it.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: I think you could see some empty I do. I
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: think you could see some empty I think that you
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: could see some some different wrinkles where they don't necessarily
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: emphasize the running back as much. They've ran some empty
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: successfully at times this year already, so it's gonna be
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: a Remandre And then there might be stretches where where
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: they try to do some different things from shotgun to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: make sure that they're not making Remandre carry the ball
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: thirty times for six straight weeks. I think that's gonna
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: be I do think this game is like interesting because
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: of the illness running through their locker room in addition
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: to their injuries. Because most of the illnesses on the defense,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of safeties out. Um, but Jen Jackson's
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: got to play yeah, um, And so I'm interested to see,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: like what type of Bill's defense the Patriot's offense is
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: going to play to begin with. Yeah. I mean, it's
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: honestly markable that they're third in the league in DVOA
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: and they've had like nine of their guys have been injured.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: It's amazing, Like I mean, just in one like everybody
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: gets a lot of injuries, like in NFL teams, but
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: there's have been concentrated in the secondary like from the start,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, maybe for their you know, on their side,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: like Trey White got about ten or fifteen snaps I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: think on Thanksgiving. Maybe that was sort of his little
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: sort of seems this morning sounds like he's going to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: put the ramp up for him to play, you know,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: the full way, which would help to keep Evans. Guy,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: don't I don't want you looking at their receivers you
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: go over there. But you know, kier Elam has been out.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: I told you the other rookie, Benford, was placed on
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: i R after the Thanksgiving games. So those are two
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: guys that were playing you know, big minutes. Um. They're
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: trying to resurrect Xavier Rhodes, right, they brought him off
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the practice spot and had him active. And you know,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: is it Toronto Taran Johnson, he's their best player in
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: the secondary? Yeah, I mean he Um is one of
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: the only guys on the depth chart doesn't have a
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: little like red Q or O next on them. So
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: and it's like on their injury report yesterday, Hamelin safety illness,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: Jackson CB illness, Johnson safety illness. It's like literally yeah,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: and then the tight end of the wide receiver illness illness, Yeah,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: they obviously have something running through the locker. Hamlin's they're
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: starting safety right now because Mica Hyde's been out, So
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: they haven't had Micah Hyde, they haven't had Jadavious White.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Their corners have been a mess, and player has been
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: in and out. Player has been in and out, and
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: they're still the third best defense in the league. It's yeah,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: it's a great system really, And what they do is
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: they run a lot of bodies up front. You know,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: von Miller's the centerpiece. Obviously they got him for a
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: very specific Yeah he's out, but they run you know,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Epanessa and Rousseau and you know these guys even at
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Oliver for an interior guy's a good pass rusher is
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Jermaine Edmunds, so and he's been out, you know. So
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: like a lot of that front seven, they use a
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: lot of different bodies, which is why they've been able
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: to get away with it. To Evan's point, because I
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: think they get some pressure. They're normally playing from in front,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: so they can get after the passer. But you know,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: at some point you lose enough guys and it's going
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: to make an impact. The Von Miller thing is huge
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: because Von Miller against Yanni could just is that is
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: as big of a mismatch as you could possibly have,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: and the fact that they don't have to deal with
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: that is gonna be big for them. And that really
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I think the secondary and Buffalo survived because of that.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Pass up the passers has been a phenomenal all year long. Miller,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Oliver Rousseau, all those guys have been getting after the quarterback.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: So taking Von out of that equation is definitely a
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: McDermott said this morning that he liked where Rousseau and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Epinessa were trending, but I don't know if that means
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: they're gonna play Thursday night. Now. They were full participants
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: in practice, but that I don't think everybody does it
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: the same way. I would caution, you know, like anybody
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: who's listened to a full participant and the Patriots, like
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: you can guarantee they're gonna play. I don't think that's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: the taste for everybody else. Yeah, let's go to Sam
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina. Hey Sam, what's up y'all? Hey? Sam,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to take this time to get on
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: pols Pole and had the opportunity too. I like Mac,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: but my god, man, he hasn't done anything to wow me.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Like whenever we get down, you know, I'm still waiting
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: on that miracle to happen, and it just you know,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. So I don't know we're gonna go.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm a pet fan. I guess and go
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: whoever the quarterback is. And I appreciate, Okay, yeah, thanks Sam.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's fair. I mean, Evan laid it
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: out in the first hour of the show of the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: opportunities that they had. They had four possessions in the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter of that game, and and and had two
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: three and outs and a turn off runtdowns and then
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I'll say three possessions of the last one
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't really count desperation mode, but no points. Ye, Eldred's
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina, Hey, Aldred, Aldred, He's gone. Oh man,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: he'll call back. Todd's in North Carolina. A lot of
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Carolina calls what's up? Todd? Hey? You know, Pats fans
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: are everywhere right and in Carolina. I think that Paul
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: used to say, you know, draft Aligneman on your own
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: time type thing, and to say kind of a similar
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: sentiment towards Thursday games. I'm actually quite impressed for a
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: four day turnaround, not at home Thursday game, that they
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: did as well as they did. I was actually expecting
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: them to, you know, get suffocated. I was expecting in
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: them to be dog tired. I expected to score, to
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: be run up, and it really didn't happen. I was
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: I was really waiting, you know, you know, I think,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: and everybody's saying, oh, the Pats are gonna win this.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: It was like, what do you what do you guys
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: seeing I don't know, I don't see it, especially with
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: where our offense was kind of not you know, quite
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: there yet. But I liked what I saw. I think
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: that there's more positives than negatives from this game when
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: you factor in the fact that it was a Thursday
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: freaking game at Minnesota. Yeah. I don't understand why everybody
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: tend to be slappy games, you know. Yeah. Yeah, And
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a much slow except you know, there
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: was a little bit, but there wasn't much. I don't
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: know they had. It's just disappointed because they had an
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: opportunity there, and I mean it was I mean, this
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't like, this wasn't Super Bowl thirty six. I mean
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: there were two and a half point underdog, So I mean,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: I guess I have to eat Crow again. I was wrong,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Like I thought they were gonna win the game. I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: thought going into the game that they would win. I
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: thought I was wrong. I thought so. But I don't
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: think this was one of those games like uh, Tampa
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Bay last year, when you went into the game and
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: you're like, Oh, this is gonna be tough, and then
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: they almost win and you're like, oh, I think it
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: was like when I played the Rams. Yeah, you know,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: they showed us like I didn't really hear anybody pick
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: yeah Minnesota in a blowout. No, I don't think it's
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: that hard in retrospect to imagine a rematch of that
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: game going the Patriots way. You know. I just I
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: think for me, the X factor they said at the
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: top was just Kirk Cousin's ability to deliver the ball
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: under pressure. I mean that that's you know, I would
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: you say thirteen fourteen under pressure, thirteen for fourteen. That's
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: tore him up. It's tough. It's tough. Let's go to
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: William and Fellham what's up, William? What's going on? Fred?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: How y'all doing all right? Question is for the day?
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Um this team? Gee? Um okay, y'all say so Evans
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: and you need you expect, you want man to go
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: out and win a game. So let me get let
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: me I agree with you at the same time, but
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: let me see if you group with me on this job.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: How you spect him? Got to win a game when
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: your coach is messing with your development? Basically okay, and
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: you gotta learn a new scheme, you gotta You got
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: a defensive for a head coach coming from another team.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: You got another coach that was was a special team
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: is basically and coming over. So and then your offensive
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: line is troches. You don't have that receiver that makes
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: the third that makes that big play that you need
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: for third damn play. So how are you supposed to
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: win a game? I mean, how did they put up
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty two yards in the first three
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: quarters of the game? Like you can't you can't have
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: it like both ways right, Like you can't look at
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff. We've done this, the coaching staff, the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: offensive line, all that stuff wasn't a problem for them.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: For most of the night on Thursday night. The line
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: played well. They I thought, got back to a passing
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: script that resembled more of what Mac did in his
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: rookie year, which I think helped him out a lot,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: And they are moving the ball. But and and everything
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: you say, William is absolutely true for an average quarterback.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: But we're asking Mac to be the guy, you know,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: we first round pick. We're asking him to be the guy.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: And if he's the guy, he's gonna figure out a
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: way to overcome everything that you just said, which is
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: all true, you know, and like he hasn't shown signs
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: of doing that yet. I just don't think that Patricia
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: or the line was their biggest problem. And I don't
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: think Mac was a problem necessarily. I just don't. I
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: don't look at it. I didn't say, you know that
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: this was like, you know, the weeks before where I
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: I really took it to Patricia for you know, the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: game against the Jets or the game against the Colts,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: and how just discombobulated they look at don offense. They
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: looked like an NFL offense on Thursday night. At minimum,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: even if you believe, okay, he's eventually going to be
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the guy. You have to admit he's got a ways
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, he's not there yet. But can I
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: say something? Yeah? Can I say something? What y'all just saying?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Y'all want him to be the guy, but y'all need
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: to understand he's not to great? Okay, No, I don't
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: know what Tom Breeve was in a second? Can he
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: be Kirk Cousins? Yeah? Right, Kirk Cousins did it against
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: the better defense? You got me on that one. I
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: can't even say that. Yeah, Like like I always I
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: always said that, Like I'm hoping his ceiling. Mac Jones
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: is like Phil Simms. Well, I would take a Phil Simms.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: William give me a DM offline. I'll teach you how
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: to argue better. Like you can't don't give up. You
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: can't just give up. Yeah, just because someone makes a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: relevant point, you can't you just like Tocktail and high,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: can I get on that email toup of all right,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: thank you? I mean not the data like sort of
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: criticize all that. He doesn't. I mean it was what execution, right,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the show that you could make
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: the plays down. I will say, you know, the red
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: zone has been a humongous problem. Obviously, they're among the
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: worst in football. I do think the O for three
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: this game, it's a special kind of Owen three. Yeah, No,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't what's the worst red zone?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: They're supposed to be the worst. The first trips are
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: to the red zone, inexcusable. That's all on the on
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: the players, the coaches. Everything. A reverse to Kendrick Point
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: that loses seven yards, terrible. The second one there were
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: mental mistakes made along the way. They ran out of time,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: they had to kick a field goal. And the third one,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: I think they get screwed out of a touchdown. I
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: think they unless puts the ball, but the touch down,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: and it's to me, the touchdown in itself should not
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: have been that hard. I get it they scored. It's
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: but it is hard to score touchdowns in the red zone.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: And I think they scored a touchdown in the red zone. Yeah.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be an apologist, like and
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: I always do this, like just so you know where
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm coming from. One hundred weeks ago, in Week four
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: in Green Bay, with about two minutes left in the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: tie game, I thought Aaron Rodgers threw a bomb to
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs in the end zone. He caught it, dove
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: in the end zone, and when he hit the ground,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: the ball came loose. In my league, that's a touchdown.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: It ain't a touchdown in their league. So I'm not
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: trying to tell you like I think the Patriots got robbed.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: That's not where I'm coming from. I think the rules
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: are flawed. Like they say, when the ball hits the ground,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: if it moves a little bit, this it's incomplete. I
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: thought the interesting thing that the Belichick said this morning
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: when he was at someone asked him about the red
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: zone for the hundredth time and he said, you know,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of times on Thursday night, we were able
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: to skipp the red scoard from outside. I was going
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to ask a follow up to that, Yeah, is it?
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: You know when he gets to that, do you does
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: that factor when you're struggling so much? Does that factor
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: into your play calling and you're thinking yourself, let's take
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: a shot. So that's what a lot of teams do,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: right because the red zone. You know, this Buffalo team,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: for examples, had all sorts of problems in the red
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: zone this year against Detroit, I don't know if he
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: was right in the red zone or if it was
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: the twenty or the nineteen right like, I don't know
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: exactly where it is. But they threw a touchdown to
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie that was like a shot play from the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: high red zone or the fringe red zone, and the
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: Hunter Henry touchdown was from thirty seven yards out. I
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: think that there's a lot to be said about that. Yeah,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: I was gonna have to follow up, and then something
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: like the topic kind of change. Then it kind of
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: lost in what was the game might have been against
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: Detroit where mondre Stevenson. It was like third and ten
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: maybe and he scored for maybe thirty yards out. Oh,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: I was a draw against Cleveland. Yeah, he had from
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: like thirty one yards something like that. But that's not
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: necessarily a play designed to score a touchdown US like
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: to Evan's point, you taking a shot into the end
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: zone from the thirty five. They had two thirty plus
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: yard touchdowns in this game, yeah, which is very rare
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: for anybody, but for the Patriots especially. I don't know
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: if you guys caught any of Kansas City you talk
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: about red zone struggles. I mean, it was painful watching
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: one of the best offenses in football try to score
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: against the team that's completely beat up and defeated in
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: the rams. I want I want a lot more twenty
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: three yard touchdowns, Like can we get like touchdowns on
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: that fringe red zone higher red zone area? Because that's
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: what bothered me so much about the Kendrick Bourne reverse
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: was like, you're actually in like the high red zone
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the fourteen or fifteen yard line, Like, let him take
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: a shot at the end zone. Right, But this is
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: where I get a little defensive of the coaches. I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: didn't like the call. I'm with Evans. Why everything Evan
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: just said, I agree with the moving down, Like butter,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: why they weren't they took over that they took over
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: in the red zone? Why getting on this is early?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about early in the Kendrick Bourne reverse. Was
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: the second play after they go first and ten, they
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: run the ball for three yards right, second and seven,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: they run a reverse to Kendrick Bourne and it loses
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: seven yards at second and seven from the red zone.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Like that's a shot play. No, but that was the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: second possession, right, yeah, the first possession they moved down
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: Like but no, but if this is a different because
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: why are you getting cute? Okay, so I'm gonna be
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: defensive of the coach being Sandra Bullet calling up from
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: from the press box. Stop, but why are you getting cute?
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Like like, you move the ball easily on the first
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: possession you set up? Why why are you getting cute?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: I don't I didn't get it. So, okay, I'm gonna
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: be defensive again, right the coaches. Yeah, when they're doing
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: these little tricky reverses to Taekwon Thornton and Cleveland and
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: he's going in on touch with a touchdown, no one's saying,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: why is he getting cute? Well that but that was
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: a jet suite, I agree, But it's the same kind
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: of concept. It's not a double reverse. Though I hate
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: the call. I hated the Taekwon Thornton call. The only
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: reason why, in my opinion, that worked just because the
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: other team. I just thought it was just too early.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: You're moving, you're doing well on offense, you had done
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: well on off just you're set up north south right,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: just north south, just play like. I don't like the
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: idea in the red zone of going backwards and yeah,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: it's sure they work sometimes, you know, back to the Chiefs.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Kansas seeing does stuff like that all the time. I
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: hate it, like all the dressing that they do, like
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: they have nine thousand different motions and stuff, and then
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: it almost never works. Like even even Tyree Hill when
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: he was like running around the end would be like
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: a three yard run. He dance out of bounds and
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: it would take you know, it would be impressive as
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: hell watching him run. And you know when he goes sideways,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like Kyler Murray. He runs in
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: his hipsco sideways, Like I pull a groin just watching them.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: Like day is a day where I wish we had
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: the camera zone. Everyone could have seen the pall in
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: his chair just yeah, I wouldn't have done that makes
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: some shots baby yet the ball in the end zone,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: yeah they I was thinking to think the chaotic shovel pass.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: It was like a Kansas City thing where there's like
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: where is the but the Steelers are in a shallow
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: pass to Derek Watt there full back last night and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: it was disgustingly, what do we do? I heard that
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: game was not overly esthetically pleasing watch I needed, but
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: like four points from so I watched the whole game,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: by the way, Oh I got him how much? How much? Though?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Did Tomlin want to be Saturday in that game because
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: he was vocal about and not liking that higher. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: there was no way it didn't cover himself and glory
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: then he know, I know he needed that game to
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: be the guy who just came off the street. It's like,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: and I stand with him, not because that's my family member,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: but it's also just like, you're not even giving a
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: chance to have a diverse higher, especially with everything that's
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: gone on with obviously Floras and other things around the league.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: It's like you just go and pluck somebody and put
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: him in a job who really doesn't have any experience.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just, oh no, Like, if you're a coach,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: I could see you being Yeah, you know, I had
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: to pay my dues. And Bradley says, I've destroyed about
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: five franchises. Damn it. I never a chance to destroy
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: a six ye someone in the Bay Area. He says, Look,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: the Vikings were the better team on offense. They have
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: the probably the best wide receiver in the league, good
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: tight end, solid running back. I can be okay with
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: a better team beating the Patriots. What I can't be
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: okay with is the stupid penalties on the Patriots. The
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: roughing the punter penalty was brutal at a critical time.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: If the memory serves me right, the score was tied
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: at the time and the Vikings ended up with a touchdown.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: Another one was a third and long that end up
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: being third and short after an off side. I know
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: there were more dumb penalties that I can't recall off
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: the top of my head, but what happened to the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: situational football and playing clean? I think that's what I'm
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: coming down too. Though. With this season, there's a there's
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of games to be played, and I think,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the games that were most interested are going
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: to happen coming up. But what I'm worried about is
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: this season going to be lost because of two big things,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: which is just overall sloppy penalty play and turnovers like
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean unprecedented amount of turnovers early on.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: They've had two games without him. But I just think
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: this is a Patriot team the way they set out.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: When we talk about what Bill's philosophy is, it's it's
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: now we're gonna you know, put together a balanced team
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: that maybe doesn't have any superstars, but we're not going
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: to beat ourselves, and whenever we go against a team
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: that will beat themselves, we're gonna allow them to do so.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: And I think what I've learned over the last few
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: years is that's worth a lot in this league. But
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: when they don't do that, that's why I worry that
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: they're gonna fall below the line in terms of the playoffs.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: That's what it's going to be. The totality over the
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: last few months of just the untimely, stupid mistakes and
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: the terrible turnovers. The good teams don't care about that
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I'm just I'm not. They've cared about
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: that for twenty years, so I'm not telling you that
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: there's no place for it. But Buffalo, their quarterback leads
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: the league. And interceptions, okay, like they turn over the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: ball at a time like these other teams they have
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: better they have is it mental toughness, I don't know,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: but they're able to overcome these mistakes. Well do you
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: want to those team? Isn't something that's really jarring because
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: I agree with your premise about interceptions, And this goes
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: back to that Tom Jackson thing when he was like,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: he was talking about Brett five one hundred years ago,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: and he said, one thing I've always admired about Brett Farves.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: He's not afraid to throw an interception. And everybody made
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: fun of him because of how stupid that sounds on
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: the surface. But what he's saying is because he's willing
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: to try to make plays, and he makes a lot
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: more plays than he doesn't. But he's not going to
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: get spooked by the mistake when he makes it right.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: And that's what Buffalo is basically doing right now. But
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: do you know that Buffalo has only turned it over
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: one more time than the Patriots. I believe that I
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: like that to me is jarring because one offense is
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: completely pedal to the metal all the time, risking it
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: and pushing it, and another one is really playing the
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: odds and playing it safe. To ask a mediocre team,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: a well balanced medio to play perfect football, that's a
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: lot of stress, it's hard to do. It's it's I'd
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: much rather be a team that does one thing great,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: like whether it's played defense or offense, and then, as
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: we've said, you can overcome those mistakes. You don't have
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: to be perfect because you can always count on that
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: one thing that you do better than the other team.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: I just think the clean stuff, like the no penalties
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. That beats the Jets, that beats
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: the Colts, it doesn't beat Minnesota, it doesn't beat Buffalo
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: because you you have to be able to be better
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: than that. You can't just be the team that doesn't
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: beat yourself. And it's hard in this league to not
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: make mistakes. You know you're gonna make mistakes. And that
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: right there is like the heart of it for me.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: I mean that that is like the whole complaint about
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: how it's been set up right now. And Buffalo believes
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: in their talent. They have explosive pieces on offense, and
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: they feel like if we make a mistake, we got
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: an ad R touchdown in US maybe, you know, like
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: they have that confidence. It's just I think you hear
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: people say it all the time when you watch a
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Patriots game and then you go when you watch that night,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: you watch Kansas City against you know, the Rams last
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: year or whatever, and people say all the time, it
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: feels like I'm watching a different sport. Yeah, you know,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: and that that's been Jarring. I think this year at
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: times like when you watch like the Jets game or
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: the Colts game, and then you know, you maybe you
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: watch a night game and you're like, wow, like this
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: is at such a higher pace. Yeah, like it's it's
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: not a fo you know, Like I'm watching like the
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: green Bay Philadelphia game, which I didn't think was very
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: well played. You know, I watched a good chunk of
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: the first half of that game, and I thought both
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: both teams were really sloppy. I thought, you know, it
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: took green Bay like four possessions before they said, huh,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts probably gonna run the ball, and then they
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: finally did something about it. But so I'm not trying
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: to tell you that's great football, because I don't think
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: it was. But it just like the tempo and the
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: pace of the game, and third and long isn't like okay,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: get the punter ready, he's got a No, it wasn't
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: a four. Even the pat Packers made some plays on
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: third downs, and again, their offense has been terrible all year.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: I just feel like sometimes you watch some of these
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: other games, you're like, oh, yeah, that's right. It's like
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: it's hard for the defense to get off the field right.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: First off, Hunter Henry caught it in the NFL has
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: no clue. We can talk about mac Jones until we're
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: blue in the face. However, all that aside, our weapons
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: are not good enough, he says in all caps, no
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: matter who our quarterback is. We just saw what a
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: first class weapon is in justin Jefferson. Our weapons aren't
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: even business class. We're stuck in, Coach, bring any quarterback
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: in here, and it's not going to look great until
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: that changes. Thornton. Thornton, he's closer than to kill Harry
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: than a good player right now. In fact, I'm ready
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: to call it a bus pick because he's shown us
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: nothing to date future star wide receivers. You see it
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: almost immediately, I see nothing. Finally, the call play to
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: try to block the punt that lost us the game.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: So Bill, are the special teams coach? Why there was
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: no reason for that? It was tie game and we
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: were playing well to that point. Yeah. I asked Keimer
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: mcgron about the call to block the punt. I thought
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: his answer was suspect, to say the least. He said, suspect.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: We're not out there just to get the ball back.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: And I was like, that should be your number one priority,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: Like all of the players that you make on special
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: teams is secondary to getting the ball back, right, whether
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: you return one to the house or you block upon
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: tier there, Like the first most important thing to your
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: unit should be getting the football back to the offense
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: after That's what I think. It's like whoa Evans after
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: that put away the night after that point, If you
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: want to make plays as he put it, or make
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: an impact on special teams, fine, but it can't come
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: at the cost of the game not getting the ball back. Now,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: I thought that, you know, and if indeed that's what
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: they did, like that was a dial and it certainly
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: looked for all you know, it was very similar in design.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: Is so I thought that was really poorly timed into
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: to your point, Fred, you talked about that red zone
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: possession with it Kendrick Bourne reverse, like they had been
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: moving the ball to that point offensively. What have you
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: seen that tells you we need we need to do
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: something to jump start at the offense. The offense was
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: playing well at that time, right, they had like one
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: bad possession where they went three and out to start
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Like, why did you panic and say
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: we need a block punt to score. Yeah. I thought
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: that was a bad, bad time against an opponent. Yeah
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: that you know it take advantage reminiscent of like those
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: old Celtics games where the Celtics started getting momentum and
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Larry would get the ball and he would just stop
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: on a on a fast break and shoot a three pointer.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: And you're like, why not why stop and take that
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: three pointer? Not move the ball? But it was Larry
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: and he knew if I hit this three pointer, I
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: never thought that I put them away. And I think
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: maybe the mentality was, you know, okay, let's let's just
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: automatically change the momentum of this game with one play.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: And you know, I don't like, I know everybody was
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: up in arms with the call to block the punt.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, okay, just obviously is the problem,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: but I just think it was a good time to
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: try to block try three. Okay. This reminds me of
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: the question that Bill was asked today about being too
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: a aggressive sometimes and like how there's a fine line
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: with like being too aggressive versus being cautious, and it's
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: like finding that balance between both of them. I think
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: that play is a good example of It's like you
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: do want to be aggressive on some plays, but in
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: other in other ways, they can't come back to bite
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: you in a situation that if you're a hair too
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: close to the case, still just still run into his legs.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: Listen that the mistake is on Pierre Strong, like that's
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: why it ended up. No, it's on camic Chord. No.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: See well, I mean it's Bill because camic Chord doesn't
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: decide when we're going after a punch and when we're not.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Bill told him, let's dial it up here. But regardless,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's a coaching mistake. And I already,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: like I already explained that I don't think it was
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: a good time for it. But like you just returned
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: to punch in the previous game to win a game.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: Why why why not try to set up a return
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: ye instead of taking one of your vice guys and
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: send them in. See if we could trick him again
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: like we did week. See the way Strong ran into
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: him like he had his legs stretched out. It's like
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like he even off his feet diving. He
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: just like ran into his leg and hit it with
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: his helmet. Down and distance leg fourth and three, like,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: you have to know that if you're going to aggressively
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: come after the punt, that there's a chance that you're
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: going to get the running into the punter. Penalties another
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: underrated play in the game. They had had a false
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: start penalty that's set up like a third in like
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: sixteen or something like that, or fourteen. I think it
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: might have been third and fourteen, and they let up
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: a pass to TJ. Hockinson for eleven yards that almost
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: got the first down. It was like he kind of
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: scored it through a little bit and they able to
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: rally to the ball and they stopped him. Without that,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: the running into the kicker is declined and they probably
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: just take the punt right. So but because it's fourth
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: and three, you could take the running into the kicker
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: and get the first down right when they caught it
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: against the Colts fourth and nine, right, and the fourth
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: and nine, even if you run into the kicker, it's
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: still not a first down, right when you call it
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: on fourth and three and you know that there's a
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: risk that you met you're coming after aggressively after the punt,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: and in a five yard even the five yard variety
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: of running into the punter gets you a first down.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: It's just not the time for that's fair enough. I
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: don't know, And again I thought there was no indication
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: that your offense needed that help. Yeah, and I would
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: much rather, like Paul said, set up a return for
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: Marcus Jones and see if he can return it, because
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: he already returned the kickoff oh to the forty nine
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: yard line earlier in the game the week before. He
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: won you the game and buy himself. So set up
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: the return, try to return the ball back and let
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: the offense go back out there. I thought it was
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: That's why I didn't hate. A lot of people were
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: critical of Marcus Jones returning the punt at the end
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: of the game, like he just let it go in
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: the end zone and get it at the twenty. I
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: was like, no, the guys, I think the guy's special.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: I think he thinks he's special, and I think he's thinking,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: if I have a chance to get the ball in
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: my hands, I like my chances to make a play.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: What if he pops one for thirty five forty yards
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't know. I had no problem with him,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: and it didn't work. They covered it great. They tackled
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: him out like the eleven yard line, and that, for
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: all intensive purposes, was game, set match. But if he
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: lets it bounce into the end zone, you're taking more
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: time off the clock too. Yeah, my market Stone's just
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: becoming quickly one of those guys you want the ball
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: in his Absolutely any opportunity. I have to see him
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: running the open field with the ball, I'm going to
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: take it. If I'm Bill Belichick. That's as good an
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: offense as you have. No, let's strong try to ball. Also, friends,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: back to the you were running the way he said,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: if you put any other like quarterback out there, they
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: still wouldn't be productive with the weapons that we have.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: It's like that's that feels like a stretch. I disagree
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: with that stretch because it's like, Okay, say if you
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: put Justin Jefferson in place of I don't know, Jacoby,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: we'll just say Jacoby put him out there with Mac Jones,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: and that automatically is going to make the offense ten
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: times better. It's like Mac Jones still has to make
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: the decision. It's like the offensive line still has to
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: give him pass protection to be able to get the
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: ball to just well conversely, So it's like, give me
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: any of the top ten quarterbacks and put him with
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: our weapons, and I think the offense is better. Yeah,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: just like, Okay, I know Travis Kelsey's really good obviously,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: you know, understated thinking. Okay, but you're telling me the
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Kansas City receivers are discernibly better than the Patriots, like
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: Juju Smith shoots Valdis scandling Icole hard. But now they
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: have an elite quarterback. That's what I'm saying. So don't
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: tell me that you can you can put any quarterback
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: in the Patriots that No, not any I said any
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: of the no, no, no, He's said you could put
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: any quarterback in with the Patriots weapons and they would no.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: I know you do, yeah, and they wouldn't be any better.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, there's plenty of guys that do
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: more with with less than the Patriots. Happen checked my homes.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: With our receivers, they're gonna be better. Now. I do
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: subscribe to the cliche and admit it's a cliche like
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: of you know, look what happened to Josh Allen when
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: they gave him digs. Look what happened? You know, when
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: you get you know, look what happened to Jalen Hurts
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: when you gave a j Brown, Right. I am definitely
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: a proponent of that, and get a guy a big
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: dog so it makes it easier Joe Barrow, which Joe
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: Barrow was tremendous before we got Jamar Chase. Now he's
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: at a different level when when Chase is in the game. Yeah,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: and from a big pictures standpoint, I agree with the email.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: I've always said this about the Patriots offense and Mac
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: Jones play calling, supporting casts super important. But in that
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: particular game, he threw for four hundred yards. Like, you
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: can't tell me that they didn't have enough guys open
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: to make plays in that particular game. From a big
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: picture standpoint, absolutely, like they don't have that alpha. They
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: do not have a true number one receiver that is
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson or a Jamar Chase or whoever. But against
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: Minnesota they had plenty. Do you have more emails? Yeah? Okay,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: Paul and the colony Fredick changes on the offense, if
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: if changes on the offensive coach of staff are coming
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: next year? What do you think of Frank Reich as
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: the coordinator? Are you aware of any good or bad
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: blood between he and Bill Belichick. Nope, I'm not aware
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: of any good or bad blood with them. You say, Nope,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: you don't want Frank in the same family. He's a
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: West Coast coach. And I don't mean like he lives
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: in California. I mean he's a West Coast offense I
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: think in Annapolis is not West Coast. Yeah, No, he's
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: a he's he's a Peterson Andy Reid disciple. You know,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: he learned in that in that language, completely different, different.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: That would be a true third system third coach in
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: three years per mac right, And he's not Frank, but
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: I do too, and he's not, but he's he's coming
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: in here to run his own thing, right. But nobody's
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: got anything other than Bill O'Brien, right, Like, that's the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: only thing that anybody has right now as a guy
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: who was in the system, who's in the finally that
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: could come back, you know, I mean, are there any
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: off shoots or guys maybe young quarterback coaches that are
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: maybe in it. Yeah, Cliff Cliff, Sean Waldron's too handsome,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: he's not He's not going anywhere. Shane. Is that a
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: great year? Yeah, he's probably gonna get a head coach.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: I actually, well, I wonder if Bill O'Brien is going
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: to get one of the jobs. Yeah, if if that's
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: my question, If he's he seems like he's asserting himself,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: I want to get back in the NFL. There were
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: going to be a number of jobs open, right, head
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: coach jobs? You mean yeah, I mean, I mean, I
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: don't know how many off the top of my head,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: but Carolina obviously, um Denver has a good chance of
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: being open. I mean, would New Orleans. I mean I
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: think Newaoleans would be in play. You know, we'll see
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: what they Houston, Indie, Yeah, I forgot about Indie. I mean,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: I think they go through all the current NFL hot
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinators. Those guys get the priority before you get
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: to like the Bill O'Brien kind of retread. And I
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: wonder if he needs a year back in the NFL.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: And I wonder if, like the whole Sean McVay thing
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: with the Rams, yeah, like he was. I mean I
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: believe that he was close to not coming back. It's weird,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: and he might just look at it and say, like, no,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: I'm done, Like the dick in the head, the Dick.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: Did you see that hard? Yeah, hurt the Dick Vermial thing,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: the way you just kind of get burnt out, you know.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm not telling this is not like see for McVay.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: S No, I think McVay is a really good coach.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: I just wonder if he's done. I know, I'm looking
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: at like Dick vermil And, like he's like eighty years
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: old with like the like Sean mcfay's like thirty five
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: years old. No, the first time when they went to
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, he burnt out very quickly and he
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: was right. Yeah, he took probably ten years off. Good
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: movie by the way, Invincible. Oh yeah. That's the problem though,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: when you have a defensive coach, right when Bill's your coach,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: is that they got lucky that Josh McDaniels stuck around
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: the second time as long as he did. Now you're
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: in this world where if you're not promoting from within,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: and you're not you don't have some farm system of
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: coaches on the offensive side of the ball that you're
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: because all these that's why Nick Kayley was the guy
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of us thought made sense because that would
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: be the next McDaniels. Yeah, I mean all these hot
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinators out there right now are all going to
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: get head coaching jobs. They're not going to make lateral
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: moves to come be the offensive coordinator to the Patriots.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: They're going to move on to be head coaches. So
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: look around the league. I mean, not a lot of
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: defensive guys are getting jobs over offensive guys right now.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: And this is why I wonder if it changes though,
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: with you know, some of the scoring being down, and
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I wonder if that if it's going to
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: evolve at all. I just think that there's only so
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: many guys, even not even from like a design standpoint,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: just from also a play calling standpoint, how many guys
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: are actually good at it? Right? And then if you
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: don't have one of those thirty two guys it's actually
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: good at it, then you're in trouble. So all these
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: all these good play callers are getting head coaching jobs.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: Alex and Raleigh writes in I think the Vikings was
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: another showing that offense can't win games with just number
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: two wide receivers. I don't really care if Mac isn't
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: the guy, or is the guy we really need is
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: a stud whiteout like Marvin Harrison junior. Watching Justin Jefferson
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: get open and make catches made me think we should
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: see if we can reach a new level with Mac
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: leading the offense and having a playmaker. Do you think
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: there is any chance Bill learns his lesson from the
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: last few years and moves up to get a stud
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: wide receiver or does he settle for alignment. Well, Marvin
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: Harrison Junior is not till next year's draft. He's twenty
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: twenty four, first of all, and he's going to be
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: a top five pick. So I'm gonna be controversial on
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: you right now. I don't love them, although I will
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: say the Ohio state receivers have generally panned out. Yeah,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: state wide receivers, you know McLaurin Lave, They've they've panned out.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: That's what I was doing in my head was kind
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: of comparing the Patriots roster to the teams that are
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: in the mix right now. And you look at I mean,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: Wilson for the Jets is kind of their guy, Jamar Chase,
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. I mean, now, all these teams that are
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: in playoff contention right now kind of have that guy,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: except the Patriots preacher to the choir on that one
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: that Yeah, I am fully supportive of getting that, getting
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: that big big dog for you know, the receivers to
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: all settle back. I think what you have is fine,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: but there's no one and I know that Bill doesn't
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: believe in that, but I think it's important. And I
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: loved Garrett Wilson, and I mean it's it's and he
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't even like he's not Megatron, like you don't look
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: at him and think like this guy. But I think
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: just the explosive playmaking ability is what it comes down to.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: What I do. I love it, and he's got on
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: the jets. I know that makes it doubly impressive to
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: be good on the jets. I was wrong about though
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: I wasn't too high on a Loba. He's obviously turned up.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: I actually liked A love it more than than Garrett
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: Wilson um because at the top of the route, a
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: lot of it was a little bit more technical than
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Wilson was. But I might be end up being wrong
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: the other Ohio state guy, and I'll mess up the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: name because I always do. Um This Smith uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: what is it Jackson Smith something. Yeah. He's been hurt
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: for most of the year, but I think he'll be
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: He might. He might this year, but it was hurt,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: so we'll see if he comes back not I see.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: To me, I know it's counterintuitive. The injury would make
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: me go if it was me, like, I'm not going
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: to spend another year where I'm nursing injuries in college.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: If I'm gonna be a nursing injuries, I'm gonna get
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: paid for it. I don't love the receiver class this
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: year from what I've seen and heard of it so far.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: Um I liked last year is a little bit better
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: I have. I haven't obviously done any deep dives into it.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know who's eligible, but the two kids for
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: Tennessee can play Hyatt and I don't the other one's
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: better than him. One of them is eligible, and I
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: don't know which one. Okay, there's another one better than him. Yeah,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: there's some. Here's the Here's the bottom line, though, is
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: what the emailer said, Like, we'll bill not be stubborn,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Like I don't look at it that way. But you
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: can take a wide receiver and I hope that you
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: get you know, the number one guy when you pick him,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: But like, do you not take a tackle. I know.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: So the big one, Jalen Hyatt is eligible. Um, the
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: big one is the guy from TCU, Quentin Johnston. What's
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: the other Tennessee receiver's name who's been hurt, Cedric Tillman him, Yeah,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: he's also eligible. Um. Jackson Smith and Jinba is eligible.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: Jordan Addison from USC he is eligible. Seeing him much,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: he's pretty good. Um. And then oh, that's a kid
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: from Pitt that transferred from Pitt when Caleb Williams and
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley went to I remember has a one two.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: And then Josh down from North Carolina's barth Sky. He's
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: the one he keeps telling me about that him, but
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: he said more of a projected like high second round pick.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: It's just so you know, the level of information that
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: I have right now is all I'm going to bring
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: to the draft podcasts. Um, it's just off of what
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: I see on already established. I'm glad somebody's been watching it.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: Johnson writes in from Porter's Lake, Nova, Scotia. It's a
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: random question, he said. I'm not sure if you saw
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders player Brian Robinson wear a big hat.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: I did a company that Robinson and his friend of together,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: but I didn't know it was I didn't know it
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: was his company, Paula fred over time as Patriots media,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: are there any memories of players wearing weird clothing they
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: invested in? Or is this a new thing with the
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: age of locker room social media? Do you remember Calvin
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: Ridley with the Onesies? Steve Ridley, Stephen Ridley, not Calvin Ridley. Yeah,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley remember the ones I do remember the Onesies.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: Was that something that he I don't know if he
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: invested in him, but he was wearing Onesies for a while. Yeah,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really. I mean there's some interesting attire,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: let's put it back, usually like your own brand, like Edelman.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: I can't think of Yeah, I can't think of anything
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: like seeing I mean the Foundations stuff. We could we
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: could pump up the h oh. Jonathan Jones is going
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: there at the podium. We got the guys coming off
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: from practice here, um trying to think, yeah, we got
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: to cause it might cause my cleat so Tetrick Wise
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: always got his wise up stuff on, among other things.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: But you know that that whole draft thing. To me,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: I would rather have a wide receiver than a tackle
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: in the first round. You guys know me, But that
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean like your problems are solved. Terry is Terry
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: mclaurina free isn't. No, he just signed a deal. They
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: sign him mad and that's why they need to my
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: nigger to need to address the offensive line. Yeah, and
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: with tackles, especially left tackles, but with tackles in general,
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: you really need to get those early, first or second round. Yeah,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: you can't. Like you could plug a guy in and
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: play guard in the sixth round like Michael will when
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: you but it's hard to do that at tackle, especially
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: a long term guys. I mean, look get Solder, look
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: at Matt Light. I mean that's where you got those guys.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: Even Sea Bass was a right tackle you got in
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: the second right, second round for Light, second round for Volmar,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: first round for Solder. You know, And I would even
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: I would even count Mankins like, even though they ended
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: up moving him to guard, he was a tackle they
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: took in the first round. I think that's where you
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: you know, if you want really good ones that you
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: can rely on, that's what you have to do, Michael
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: and Idaho says, can someone explain why the running into
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: the kicker was a penalty. He ran into the kicking leg,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: which from my understanding, is not a penalty. That's why
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: it was only five yards and not fifteen. If you
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: do the plant leg, it's fifteen. So there you go.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: There you go. It's not as much a penalty, right,
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: that's the two five and fifteen on running into the
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: kicker or roughing the kicker, that's the distinction. But he
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: definitely hit the leg. I mean, you can't argue oh yeah,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: I know everybody tried to argue it on Twitter Thursday night. Yeah,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: he didn't touch the leg. Yeah, it was like, I mean,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: the guy sold it well, but which is exactly what
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. Yeah, Like you don't just like
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: let someone bump into your leg and then just like
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: shrug it off like a tough guy. I know. You
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: make sure the referee side. You play soccer, right, shoddy
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: in Houston speaking of soccer, and it's it's a penalty
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: because the kickers vulnerable. Yeah, with with with a foot
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: in the air, you know, four feet high in the air,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: you get hit anyway and that can potentially impact you. Right, Well,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: do you see it on kicks on on on place kicks,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: two on field goals, and extra points, like you can't
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: just let the guy run into the foot. Shoddy wants
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: to know if the Thursday game is a must win
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: game for the playoffs. I think so. I don't. No, No,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta win these home games, don't you.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: I think they need to win four games to make
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I don't think that. I wouldn't say
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: that they have to beat the Bills to do it,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: but if it would certainly help your home games, you
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: gotta win, like you said, four games, unless you think
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: you're gonna sweep the two road games. Well, I think
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna make the playoffs, that's an assess. Yeah,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: you have to win both of those games. Yeah, those
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: are the two easiest games on the schedule. They are.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: I think. I think, like you have to beat the
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: two teams with losing records if you're gonna make the playoffs.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think in theory, yes it is, but
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: I think mathematically no, it's not, and I would be
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get back into the path again
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: this year. You know what about like the mentality? Yeah,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: and that's why. What do you think they have to
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: do to make the playoffs. Yeah, I think they gotta
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: probably win four games. I think they need to go
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: ten and seven. Yeah, So I don't really care which
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: four they win, right. I don't think that this is
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: a more winnable game than than the two after it,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: even though this one's home and the next two are
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, I mean this one might be
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: might be more winnable than the one in Buffalo, But
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's more winnable than Cincinnati, but it might.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's more winnable than Miami. Yeah, you don't.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: You don't know how it's going to turn out. What
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's Buffalo going to be playing for him
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: that last week? Too? But I mean I hear what
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: Paul saying. I think though, like it kind of is
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: like I just you kind of need to make a
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: do you need to make a move? I think it's
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: a huge game for the Pageots. I think it's a
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: huge game for Buffalo. Yeah, and I think Buffalo was
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: on fumes. I think you're getting them at an opportune time.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: I think that they have a chance where they might
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: look at it and say, we had three games in
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: twelve days, all in the road, and we already won
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: two of them. We'll take it. You know, Jonathan wants
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: to know how Brian Hoyer is doing. Haven't heard anything
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: about Brian Hoyer in weeks. He's not even on the sideline,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: is he. I haven't seen him in weeks now, which
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: tells me that that's a significant concussion. I know a
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: lot of people thought he had the hellenic flu. Let's
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: go to the phones, builds an oaklaw. What's up Bill? Hey, gentlemen, good,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: thanks for tecking the call. I need to have a
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: little bit of a count's therapy time. If y'all don't mind,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: and I do, it makes sense in my head. I
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: just want to work shop, but a little bit with
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: you guys. The two things that I always think when
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: I think of a Patriot one is we always take
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: away the number one weapon of the team we're playing.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: And two, we always like to draft or get free
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: agents that have a lot of IQ or EQ. What
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: I saw Thursday night did not tell me that we
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: have either of those things in place. The penalties you
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: all have segued already into the roughing the kicker, those
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: two face masks. I've never seen a Patriots team get
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: two face masks in one game. I know the Sans
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: are iffy, but they hacked with the face mask. Yeah,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: and with that many cameras and in front of the
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: opposed bitch, you're not going to get away with that.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: I I need to face them big time improvement and
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: do they bring in whether it's drafting or free agency,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: because this is such an unpatriate like philosophy that I
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: see translating onto the field and wanted to get your
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: thoughts on them. I mean, I hear what you're saying.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: I just I've seen three years of this, like it
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: hasn't It's not like it's been that different. Like this
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: is what they've been. They've they've been beaten by number
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: one receivers and you know, like that whole thing where
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: they're going to shut just like why are we still
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: thinking that? I mean, they you know, they still have
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: a long way to go. It's just the clutch play
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: for me is the question. And I just I continue
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: to wonder mentally where this team is at because it
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: seems like when they get a little bit of adversity,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: even after they had some success, they kind of cave
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: in within themselves. And you know, I just I don't
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: know what fixes that. And I think that that's part
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: of the problem with all this red zone stuff is
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: just you know, this team doesn't seem like they're all
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: talking about I hate I hate to like harp on, well,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: when Brady was here, But when Brady was here, he
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: raised the level of everyone, not just like on the
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: playing field, but in practice accountability, like like like just
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: the intensity at practice. You know, um, he raised that level.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: He did the exact same thing to Tampa Bay immediately
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: when he got there. They needed a culture change. But
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: that and and I think there's something to be said
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: about that. It's not just all built. It's it's not
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: all Bill but it's but it's also talent. And it's
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: back to what we talked about at the beginning of
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: the show. The mistakes. Yeah, there's probably more mistakes, but
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's as like Tampa Bay was one
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: of the most high highly penalized team in the league
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: where they they won the Super Bowl either out of
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: the next year, one of the two. I mean, and
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: Brady did. Everything Fred said is absolutely true. Brady instilled
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: the culture for the Bucks. But the difference is he
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: can make a play. It's going to allow you to
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: overcome the mistakes that you make. Yeah, right now, they're
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: not talented enough to make a lot of mistakes and
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: still find a way to win the game top to bottom. No,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. That's not a mac Jones question. That's
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: not a mac Jones problem. That's a that's a Patriots
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: problem right now all across the board. And you know
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: the penalties that they've had. This is when you're when
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: you're when you're just an average team. Because I won't
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: call them a bad team because they're average, they're a
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: mediocre team. When when that, when you're like that, it's
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: something different all the time. Yeah, you know, this game,
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: it was five penalties that gave the Vikings first downs, right,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: just really killer penalties. In another game it was because
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: you turned the ball over four times. But they've gone
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: three they've gone three games really without turn They have
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: one turnover in the last three games. The more they've
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: they've cleaned that up. But not another problem. The more
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: talented you are, the less perfect you need to be
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: correct and every time that you do these things. One
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: of the most impressive marks that Brady had when he
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: was the Patriots quarterback was like a winning record with
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: minus three in turnover ratio or something like that. You know,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: it was ridiculous, like, now, can you imagine to be
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: minus three in turnover ratio and even being competitive or
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: the other stat that he, you know, bucked the trend
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: was with a winning record when throwing from time and
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: he won because he did it because he wanted to, right,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: you know, because that was the game other team. Now
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: we're seeing when teams throw a lot, especially the Patriots,
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: usually because he's scrambling back into a game. Isn't there
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: another stat where he has like a winning record when
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: he has a losing score going into either the second
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: half or the fourth quarter. And I'm not sure, but
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's that that kind of stuff. It's just ridiculous.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's always get what you're saying, but
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: it's you know when when when you're a mediocre team,
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: you know, it's you have to play perfect and just help.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: Being mediocre puts more pressure on you, and it's even harder,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: right you know when that's gonna say, when it feels
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: like you realize you're mediocre and you realize like, oh god,
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: the game's hanging by the balance right now, because we're
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: down by seven, and if we let them get that
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: next touchdown, it's probably lights out for us, right, And
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: that's just they play something. You know, we've been there,
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: the three of us have been there at every practice,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: you know, every training camp, and there's no change in philosophy. No,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: they're not, you know, focusing on different things and overlook
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: the details that they still as detail week in the
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: red zone as they ever have been. And it's just
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: like when the players aren't as good as they used to.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: Thanks Bill, uh, Greg's in California? What's up, Greg? You
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: know Mike do So? Yeah? Hey guys. So with regards
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: to the Thursday game last week, I know that's on
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: third and one. We threw three separate times. We ended
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: up converting one of them, but ramondre Stevenson was averaging
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: like five yards of Kerry and I think he only
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: got the ball seven or eight times. So do you
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: have any reason for while we were growing it so
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: much more than running because they were throwing it with
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: such success? Yeah, it would be my guest. The game
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: plan was to throw the ball against the terrible pass defense,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: and it worked. I mean I think three hundred and
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: eighty two yards passing. I just think that they didn't
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: execute when they when the game was on the line
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: backup center, that kind of tackle too, A little bit
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: of that too, I would say, that would be my guess.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I mean Bill hasn't said that, Greg.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: That's just my feeling was they went into that game
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: and they said this is a secondary we can exploit,
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: and I think largely they were right. Yeah, Yeah, I
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: didn't like he and Elle had a complete drought in
• 1:50:31

• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: this one didn't happen a Patriots game to a family Parker. Yeah,
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: somebody came out of the stands something like that. Oh.

• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: got involved in a play. Yeah, yeah, some fan and
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: they didn't cut. I could see Andy Hart doing something
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: like that. That was the thing I thought we were
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: going to with the with Brian Robinson's hat. Yeah, you

  Speaker 1: know that's whatever me too. Everybody hit me for Andy Hart, everybody,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: and good job, my, my, my, my Twitter peeps for
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: pointing that out to me. You know that you have
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: to get the large version of that hat, right. Yeah?
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: What was his hat size? Did you ever get that?
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: You ever see what he is? Like? All I know
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: is that velcro works really hard on those VISs Now
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: it was um seventy three quarters it was big, yeah,

  Speaker 1: I think it was like a ten. Yeah. Like he had,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the visor. Oh yeah, I'm saying, had this
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: orange visor that he'd always wear, and like it was
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: in the last strip of velcro. It was barely hanging on.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: It's the worst thing is big headed people, because you
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: just you don't know when the hats are gonna fit right.

  Speaker 1: And sometimes you just get a hat and you're like
