• 1:01
  Speaker 1: says Gotham City Football Club. You know, I don't know

• 1:14
  Speaker 1: length yesterday. No, And I don't want to like turn
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this into a crusade that I hate Josh Uja, but
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you're getting tired of. I'm just This is Patriot's Unfiltered
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome to Patriots Unfiltered. It
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: is Thursday here at Gillette Stadium, and Deuce is here,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Alex is here. Thanks for coming, Alex. Yeahs nice to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: see Yea. We haven't seen her in a while. Paul,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: both Evans in Arizona. Yeah, so living the dream? Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: well is that what they call it? I know he
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: said it was nice there though. But Um talked to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Uja yesterday and then he called up the trainer on
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the spot that Uja mentioned and yesterday's interview and got
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a little interview you out of the trainer that Josh
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: had worked with during the off season. So yeah, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he'll get there. Yeah yeah, yeah, good job. Yeah out
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a boy. Yeah. Uh So we're talking Las Vegas Raiders
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and we had our first injury or practice participation report yesterday. Um,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: some good news, I think Myers. Yea, Um, that's critical. Yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I think he's as close to what Binkie as as
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones has and it's good to have him back
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: if if he in fact does play, he's limited, Yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but sounds like he'll be back. And then Barmore, Barmore, Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: clocks started. He didn't know if he had traveled yesterday,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: but apparently he did. Um, and he's out there on
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the practice field. Yeah. Hopefully, hopefully it translates to being
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: ready in the game. And I mean the Raiders doing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the same thing. They activated Waller and Renfro. But you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: listening to Josh talk yesterday, I mean, I'm sure he's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: obviously going to play close to the vest, but you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I said, we haven't seen these guys in a while,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so we're just gonna get him out there today. But
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of expecting at least one of them to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: go kind of both. I know, the Patriots, they might
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have been on the report, so probably go time. Yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I think for those two. Yeah, well I looked at
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the stats too. I thought this was interesting. You know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we talked. I mean, they've had all three of those guys, Adams, Waller, Renfro,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for forty three of their eight hundred and fifty snaps
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: on offense. So nothing nothing really. You know, last time
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: we talked about the amount of time that certain players
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: spent together, it lasted three plays. So we'll see what
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: happens Sunday. That's true. I mean, you know, Josh Jacobs
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and Adams alone are enough to give you an ice
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: cream headache. But yeah, just to add those guys into
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the mix, it's, uh, it'll certainly tested. Yeah, we depth, Yeah,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing is how does this defense
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: battle that? How do they approach that? And it's just
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: every every phase of the defense has to play complimentary.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, and just hope that you you know, they
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: screw up a few times and because they there's a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: talent gap, they more talented on offense than we are
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: on defense. And I'm not insulting anybody by saying that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's you know, we don't have a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we don't have a shutdown corner. Um well, especially with
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the injury problems. Yeah, like I think there's a little
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: concern in the depth with um. You know, Mills hasn't
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: played for a couple of games. He's limited. Jack Jones
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: left the game. He didn't practice yesterday. Um, you know
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: so that there's some concerns with your depth in the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: secondary and I you're right, Fred, I mean like if
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you have a healthy Adams Waller renfro and then mac
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Hollins is like fourth or fifth on the list, Josh Jacobs,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and then Josh Jacobs you don't have. Yeah. Yeah, so
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that's why I like I sort of you know, you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: like to talk about the round table that DU sends
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: out every week. Fred. And I want to thank you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Fred for sharing all your interest with with the whole
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: calls reply all. Thank you very much. I wanted to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: give you guys some help this. Yeah, and I actually
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: know why I had he sent my in in because
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that's the first thing I do, otherwise I'll forget it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because you know, see you what about the inca I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sent mine in. I'm sorry, we can't all speak exactly
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: perfectly like you do. Um. How was Defred McCurdy Was
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he okay? Was he part of that? Um? So anyway
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: mine mine? UM, I had already sent in. But I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: did appreciate reading Freddy's because he yells at me because
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I don't usually read them and I don't know when
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: anybody else said, so I made sure I Readferend's interest
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that anyone you need to worry about, right. I think
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is a guy that really should be the focus,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: because not because I think he's better than DeVante Adams
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: or worse than anybody else, but I feel like the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: road to victory, the road to slowing down that offense,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to me, starts with Derek Carr. See what I did there,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the road with car keep car stuck in neutral um.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you can at least neutralize Jacobs,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: then you put more on cars shoulders, and I think
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's with him. Stakes might come if you can do
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: what Fred said and get some pressure on the passer.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I know that was your answer, complimentary pass rush. With
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the way Oocha and Juda have been going, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get some heat on him. But if you put it
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: all on the raiders, like once it was all on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Colt McCoy, that's when the pass rush turned it up
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Monday night, right, Like, they didn't get much pressure on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: him early, but late they got a lot of it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: because they had a throw. And I think if you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: shut down Jacobs and make them throw, you can get
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: some pressure enforce mistakes. I agree. I think like the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Raiders obviously weren't impressive to start the season, but as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they've kind of gained momentum, Jacobs has really emerged for them.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So it seems like he's kind of leading it all.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: He's leading. I mean, he's leading the league in rushing,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know it's I mean, and he can catch the ball.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't even know where to start. Well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you don't offense. It just seems like you just gottas
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and in the defensive meetings, I know, I give up
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of guys. I don't even know
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: where the stars. I mean, I was looking at some
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of the touchdowns. I mean, you know, Adams has got
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: nine touchdowns twenty five plus yards. I mean four of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: them are forty plus artists for him or thirty plus,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know. I just, I mean, I agree with what
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Paul saying. I also think, though, if you give up
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: big scoring plays that you're just you're never getting out
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of that. I can't do that. That's you know, so's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you can say this, you can say that, and then
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on the flip side, you can say, oh, by the way,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I think the Patriots offense suddenly needs to find a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: gear that we haven't seen yet to keep pace with
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you know what I think Oakland's doing, But Oakland Raiders.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I just I look at a four and eight team,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but I still see a team that like, well, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: don't want to characterize the last four games of the season,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: like I want to say these are the Iron of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the AI, but they're not. They're not. You know, they're
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: not that good, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Close.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I just have no confidence that the Patriots are going
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to be able to expose any of these, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: weaknesses you see statistically like red zone like we saw
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it last week that that was a terrible red zone
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: defense too. It didn't really matter, no I did. We
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: got two red zone touchdowns? Yeah, yes, so true. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: mean we need to have an intervention. It's never good enough,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Josh Uche, I'm tired of getting sad. Red zone was
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: just as funny today as it was Yester. Well, you
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: know probably you know they did they stopped him. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: mean they were able to score twice in the red zone.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't go from like oh for seven
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to like five for five, like it usually doesn't work.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That week, there was progress. Last week they had two
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: red zone touchdowns. Alex tell Kevin he doesn't listen to me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Kevin as broke like six tackles got it and on
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: one play that was like the first play, did we
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: throw it into the end zone? Really hard? Why do
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you get oh style points? Fisk. It's got to be
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a say, now you know what you're no longer allowed
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to do. You're no longer allowed to make fun of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: me with my boys felgerd Mass because you are a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: want to be Felger in Mass. You want to find
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: something to pick out now. I they had to come
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: from twenty eight three down. I mean they didn't. They
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: didn't throw the ball into their They got red zone scores,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but they didn't throw it into the league right away
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. It's unacceptable. I demand dominance and excellence.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I'm perfect, yes, wow, and and perfect uniforms too. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Bill's got to pick the right hood either. I forget
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: about that. Man, you're demanding. I never thought but he
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: would be like this. He's very demanding. Yeah, I know, no,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you're you're I mean, you're right. I was being a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: little bit harsh. Um. They did have some success in
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the red zone last week, but I don't, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, I don't know if that's gonna be enough
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: this week. You know, I think they got They're gonna
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: have to be more. And I don't know why that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just assuming that the Raiders are going to just
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: give us their absolute This is what the Raiders should
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: have been game. But that's what I'm expecting. I'm just expecting.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But much like we said, if Kyler Murray doesn't get hurt,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if twenty points offensively would be enough
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to win. I would say the same thing this week,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you know, assuming that guys don't drop the third play
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: into the game, I don't know if twenty offensive points
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: will be And we have to talk about Josh's knowledge
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of Bill and his tendencies and Patricia's tendencies. And I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: don't think Josh knows anything about our offense because it
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: didn't exist when he was here, and I don't think
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you can I don't think. I do think he knows
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: our tendencies on defense. I mean, he coached a against
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: our defense in practice for a long time and saw
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: what the tendencies are. And it's still Bill, and you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: growd and all those guys were here when he was here,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and so that's the thing. He knows our defense. Yeah,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a plus for him. Well, I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: mean I would tie it to Tom watching the latest
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: episode of Hard Knocks. It just came out last night
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that featured the Patriots game. Not a ton of good stuff,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but same kind of thing. We're listening to Josh yesterday,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes I think we you know, we're
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: on the outside. You hear what the actual football teams
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, and the amount of attention that both
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals pregame and Josh kind of mentioned yesterday is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: just how hard it is not knowing what you're going
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to get from the Patriots defense. And I mean you
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: heard all of the coaches on the Cardinals hitting this
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: point of we can study this, but it's not going
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to be what they're gonna do to us. They're gonna
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: attack our players, And this is not one of the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: coaches said, this is not that they just do what
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they do kind of team you know what ever happen,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and this isn't something that we like really highlight or
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: talk about all. I mean, yeah, we all know they
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: say that they're a game playing defense. But you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: just for me listening to the NFL locker rooms, what
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the coaches are telling the teams of how difficult this
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: makes things. And I mean, I grew up in being
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a football fan, slash fan, analysts, whatever you want to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: call me, just with the Patriots, just study, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: really love defense and studying the Patriots defense, and it
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: always seems so complicated to me. And that's why I like,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, when I look at other defenses, I'm like Jesus,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: seems pretty simple. They just run kind of a form
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in front with two linebackers and you know, five dbs
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in behind him, and that's you know, and that's what
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it is. So I think, you know, and I want
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to say spoiled, but in some ways my view of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it is kind of skewed. But when you get that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: kind of outside perspective, you realize it really does make
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: things difficult on them. I don't I don't know if
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they have that. You know that the horses to you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: match up with with all the weapons. It's just it's tough.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to stop Josh Jacobs with probably five
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: six guys in the box, you know, and that's, you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: part of what Evan wrote about and kind of his previews.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So many teams are just you know, playing two deep
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: safeties to protect them against Adams. It's still hasn't totally
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: neutralized him. But at the same time, you're gonna have
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to stop with a light box. You're not going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: be able to pack everybody in or else you're gonna
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: What are the Raiders average points per game? We don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have that. I think they're right now, I have it somewhere.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Hold on, I thought I saw that sixth Please, but
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: what's that number? Is it? Yeah? What do they have?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: The points per game? They're they're they're eleventh overall in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: points points four, um, But I don't have the number.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Twenty one point two, twenty one point two yeah, okay,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: so many stats yea um. But again, you know that's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: just if they've been doing it with mac collins and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and Adams and that's pretty much been their duo. No,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that's wrong. No, sorry, they didn't have it. They just
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: give you the Patriot rankings. That's the Patriots twenty one
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: point two. Okay, Uh, they are twenty three point seven,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: twenty three point seven, So basically twenty four points a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: game for them, that's that's a challenge even even at
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: twenty and they've been disappointing. Yeah, right, like with with that,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, then they've been very up and down. They
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: got shut out one game, and they average twenty four
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: points a game. Yeah, they've only broken thirty three times only. Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: it sounds like a lot around here, right, um, But yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's just I don't know what the disconnect is, but
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to come in, you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: wanting to set the stage a little bit. I don't
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: think anybody wants to say that they're out of the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: playoffs yet. They probably are, though, but I think that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: they're you know, has something to prove. I think still,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, that you know, hey, this is
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the team that we wanted to have, and you know,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: let's show them what it would have looked like. Have
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: we had our full contingent of a huge that's Fred.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Fred and I were on it on Tuesday. You know,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: what kind of motivation do they have coming into this
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: game because their season ended and that collapse uh last
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, So what kind of motivation do they have?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I think you're right, I think they have enough guys
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that will probably feel this game is important to the coach,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and the coach probably hasn't alienated people yet. You know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to do it that quickly. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: my guess is they'll put their best foot forward, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I put a lot into this game. I would just
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: hope that the Patriots do as well. I mean, this
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: is you know, like like I just I don't want
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to see the Patriots get out energied by the Raiders
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in this game. I mean, you're in a playoff spot
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: right now. It's a very narrow path. You gotta you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: every game is critical at this point. So I would
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: just hope that the Patriots come out with that already
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to match any intensity that the Raiders kind of bring
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to to please something. The last time they were out
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: there for an extended period, they came into that game
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and they were they were tired, but they had had
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you know, joint practices and all that stuff. There's really
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: no excuse. I mean, they should be kind of rested actually,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: because they didn't travel two times across country. They you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they stayed in a nice place and you know, U
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: really didn't have to, you know, move around a lot, so,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: especially after the last stretch of games. We've had the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: last three weeks just two Thursday night football games, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it's been a crazy week for all of us. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: can't imagine being someone actually playing and practicing. I don't
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: know what day it is, still like, I'm still behind
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and even you know, and get screwed up next week too,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: when you know when they're playing Saturday and then everything
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: gets moved up. You know, a day it never we
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: got that to look forward to it again. Fred will
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: be yeah, you know, telling you what today, but it's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: really yeah, I guess Wednesday. Yeah. The question is he
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: going to give him a day off next week? I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: hope So they don't. They don't want it, they don't
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: need it. Yeah, harder. What do you think of as
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a total aside? So the majority of the slate is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve and it, but they do have games
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. Ye. Why do you think they move
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the slate off of Christmas Day? If they're gonna happen
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: like I could see if they put all of the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: games on Christmas Eve just to not play on Christmas
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Day's split, but they I think there's three there's I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: think two games on Christmas Day. That's it? Yeah, Yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I think I think rather than have like everybody on
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: every team having to work on Christmas, they minimized it,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: kind of like what the NBA does on Christmas Day.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: The NBA goes full bord. I thought it was only
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: like it's like it's like five national Yeah, it's like
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: five national games, right, but not the whole league, right, No,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: they had marquee games, yeah, like, but it's it's certainly
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: not too so we have three so they can spend
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: time with their family. Packers Dolphins at one, Broncos Rams
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: at four thirty, and Bucks Cardinals at eight twenty coolie
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: games flex that Cardinals game out not with McCoy play yikes,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and then charges Colts on Monday Night. Yeah. I just
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: think it's odd, Like I could, I would totally understand
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: if they said, you know, we're gonna just play all
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the games on Christmas Eve, yeah, instead of Christmas Day
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, but they don't. Yeh. It's kind of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: damage control. I think maybe it's a ratings thing, Paul.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You know, they know everyone's gonna be at home, so
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: let's just have everybody watching one game and just I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: don't know I like it. I mean I hadn't even
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it hadn't even occurred to me until you said it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And now it's like, oh, that's that's nice. You can
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: throw some football on, you know, after you do your
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: presents and stuff, right, eat your food? Yeah, you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: absolutely not great games, but I mean I guess the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Dolphins want to be probably worth worth watching. That should
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: be a good game, right, Dolphins Bills, Packers Dolphins Packers?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: So who would you what would you rather? You know?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: As Christmas Christmas question? Here? Would you rather have to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: work on Christmas Day? Or Christmas Eve? Eve? O? Christmas Eve? Yeah?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a Christmas Day person, but it kind of depends
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: on your family and what you guys do. Why I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: would if it's all the parties and stuff, I'd much
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: rather have Christmas Eve off than Christmas. Why what do
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you guys do that's different? Nothing. I just enjoyed the day.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: You don't enjoy Christmas Eve? Does something happen in your life?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I just think Christmas Day usually he never got a
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Red Rider eving here? How did that make you feel?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Down the rabbit hole with me? Now? I think you
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you get gets triggered by no stuff stocking. First of all,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Christmas is far and away my favorite holiday, so I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: don't ruin this for me. But anyway, Um, you get
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: up in the morning, you do the thing, especially you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: with the kids, and you open all the presents and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: stuff and that that's kind of like you have that
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: like anticipation and it's and then really exciting. Then you
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: get to play with you today, right, and then it's like, Okay,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I got nothing else to do, I might as well
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: go to work. You know. That's the way I would
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: look at it. Presents Christmas Eve at midnight, Oh you do.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: That's how it's like almost always been with a big
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: family party Christmas Eve, all the extended cousins too, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: everybody's up at midnight. The one day I could stay
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: up till midnight. Okay, that's we never did that the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. Yeah, I think I think it depends. Yeah,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: for sure. I know it's standard in Portuguese, like there's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a bunch of seafood dishes for Christmas Eve that you eat.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I think Italians do the same thing. Yeah, but I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: started a thing can't confirm about. You know, my family
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: didn't take but I don't know how many ten years ago.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I get shrimp cocktail clam chowder for Christmas Eve. That's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: all you got for Christmas Eve? You got presents, okay,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Oh no presents on Christmas Eve? Oh no presents on
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. Presents are under the tree because Santa brings
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: them and there's no way that he can possibly have
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: them on Christmas Eve. So the family presents are Christmas Eve? Correct?
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Do you get a couple of presents from Santa the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: next morning and then you're not opening presents all morning
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Eat Christmas Day because you have to rush
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to shower and clean the house for people to come
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: over and all this stuff. So yeah, that's one thing
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I missed about when we had to merge our Christmas
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: traditions was like mine was the same thing, like family
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: presents are out, but you go to bed, there's not
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: really anything under the tree and then you wake up
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and every Santa has come. And we kind of went
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: with my wife's model, which was just the presents are there,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you know, and were I think, I think the kids right, like,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: your traditions immediately have to take a back seat. Oh
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we had, we we balanced, There was there was some
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I have no balance the other one I ed in,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: like was that uh that day I think I said,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: where they would like take their presence and just pull
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: everything out under the tree and divide it all up,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and then everybody just kind of sits there and you
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: do still go around, right, but you kind of know
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: what's there, and I like, like someone play Sanna and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you don't really know right when your last presents coming
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: or how many there are left, and all, here's one
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: for you. This one's mind, you know, um that kind
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of thing. So I do miss it, but you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you gotta make like what if you know, someday, if
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you get married and you have somebody that's like, I'm
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: not standing up till midnight, we get up in the morning,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and then you know you're gonna have to make some
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Well I'm the mom's side, so the mom's side always prevails.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it is true that fact, and that's it. Yeah, right,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: why do you do it like that? Because that's what
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I said, Well, yeah, you probably do all the work too,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: so like, oh, no question. So that guy's like, sure
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that does everyone who does the shopping, who does the rapping, rapping,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget just coming home from my dad it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: my dad's side that does the big things or the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: big Christmas Eve. And then coming home like one in
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the morning and my mom is up and only started
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: rapping presents and she's gonna be up till three. I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: oh man, she's crazy though. Yeah, all right, people are like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: what are they doing? So we're talking about we're talking
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: about football. I was talking about would you rather have
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: this game on Christmas Eve? Be on Saturday or Sunday.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually thankful that it's Christmas. If it was
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a road game, I'd be okay. Well not for I'd
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: still be on the road. It's not for you. I'm selfish.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: It's the best excuse to be like, sorry, I can't
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: take enough of my family. My family's too much right now. Sorry, guys,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I gotta go work. Have to go work. You don't
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: have to do that. You are working, you don't have
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: to quote. Yeah. I'm hoping that we can get out
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of here um quickly, and that everybody else is thinking
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the same way. I am, like, let's get up out
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of this. It's the Bengals, so it might be a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: long show, Paul, we might have a lot to talk about.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You got an hour and us for the post Maybe
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: we go three. Maybe we just extended a little bit
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: shut you at a Barbie dreamhouse to build. So take
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that into a count friends an hour hour fifteen, you
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: come down with your regressive classes in college that you
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: guys can track Santah while you're doing that, why don't
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: we put it that went you know how that went? There?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: The subtlety you guys can track Santa doesn't sound like
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: fred AND's aggressive glasses are coming down for a postgame

• 22:17
  Speaker 1: just run Bill and Mac on a loop and we'll
• 22:19

• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to see Joe Burrow play and chase that, Oh, I'm
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: looking forward to the game. That is the funny part.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Is I am really looking forward to because that's not
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a team we see a lot. Yeah, and I'd like
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to see them in person and see if it looks
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: as good you know when you when you watch it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: But I am concerned about the stupid traffic. Oh yeah,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I hope everybody says it's Christmas Eve. We got to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: get out of here, though, I mean Christmas Eve, it'll
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: be oh yeah, I'm being in this. There's nothing worse
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: than everything. You're looking forward to getting out of here,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and then you get it on like ninety five, it's like, shoot, yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that's the worst, especially when weekly because it's like three
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: hours later and they're like, why is there still traffic
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the postgame part party? Yeah not me, all right? Eight
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: five five five hundred is the Ace ticket hut line
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: web radio at Patriots dot com is the email address.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: We've got picks later. So with a hurry, let's get
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: people involved now. Um see what they have to say
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: about this game coming up? FedEx the sheet from Arizona
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to Mike. He forgot it again. I know Evan's listening.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Bring down my sheet. I forgot it again. All right,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: let's go over to the Ace ticket hout line. Sean's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver. What's up, Sean? Sean? Seannie? Oh? I thought
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that was Evan with your sheet. Sean, vancou and Vancouver
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: callback if you want Mike's and Vermont. What's up? Mike?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I always wondering whatever I think about hopefully Tom coming
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: back next year. I don't think just much of a
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: shot of that, and I'm not really all that interested. Yeah, no,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think you'll probably get Jools too if you
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: get to him. Yeah, I mean maybe Torry Brown. That's
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: what I'd like to see is Tom grown and Edelman
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: come back. Gives for one season. Now let's move on.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: We've got to move on. Yeah we okay, all right,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Well you guys have fun. Okay, Thanks Mike, Thanks Mike. Yeah,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not as and I get it. I'm just not
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: as enthusiastic about going backward for even if it's a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: year of success. I don't think you're going to win
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl with that. So for the record, I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: would welcome Tom Brady back. Yeah, I'm not going to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: tell him, no, you're not welcome here. I just don't
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: think that's the best for the team in general. Right, Well,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: does he want to come back here? Yeah, I've heard.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think he wants about how much he hates us.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think he has any interest in playing for Beligim. Now,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: if there's a change, then that's different perspective. I don't know. Yeah,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: if anything, I think it's been solidified. It wasn't I
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: think his rings would disagree. Five year. I mean, well, no,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: but he already has early thirties. I would say yeah,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: but he's not come well. Well, I don't think Gronk
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: is playing. But the Brady thing is the one that's
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: it continues to be in the news. That's why Mike called.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I would say yeah, because his kid's going to Deerfield.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: There's rumors of him looking for property. I mean I
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: think that that would I mean, obviously it would work.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, would I'd rather have mac Jones or Tom Brady?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I mean, I don't. I don't really feel
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: like that's a hard question to answer, but I kind
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of agree with Fred. I just think you need to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: kind of move on, even if it makes you better
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: next year, it might not be the best thing for
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: all involved in. I just don't think there's any chance
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that Belichick and Brady are going to be together again.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: What if we get to a point though, where maybe
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: God forbid that we decide after this season we're moving
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: on from mac Jones? Nothing really next year? Why not? Hell?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: You forgot about Bailey's app bridge the gap. I think
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: he's going to San Francisco, right like, I mean, the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: thing is I think a better chance he doesn't play anything.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So Brady comes in, You're, you know, another boring twelve
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and four D and you're drafting at the bottom of them.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: We don't want that. We don't want any more of
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: those twelve might you know? So you really started, You're
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you're doing a one year thing and then you're starting
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: over again. Yeah. I mean, I I do think if
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: there wasn't the amount of static involved in it, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: would be able to embrace the bridge thing that Alex
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: is talking about. But I just don't see it working neither.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Like Belichick said, you're too old at forty two, but
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I'll take you at forty six. I mean mostly, I'm
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: just mad that Jeff how feels like through something against
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the wall and now everyone thinks it's a possibility. Jeff
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: took like two separate interviews that they each respectively did
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that was moderately complimentary of each other. It's like, oh
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: my god, they like each other again. You got you
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: guys are better than I. I didn't even waste my
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: time reading it. I don't know. The Greg Hill Show
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: was sent out a tweet. The first time I came
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: across of it was a tweet from the Greg Hill
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Show that was like calling it a report from Jeff Howe.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, this is a report or an opinion piece,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: so I had to look into it. That's pretty big show,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: though I know I think so too. Oh, I didn't
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: even think of that. That is impression. She's hate hate listening.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I support Coco hate listening. Um Ali and Tennessee writes
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in at web radio at Patriots dot com. Assuming Madre
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: is not at one hundred percent, which rookie quarter running
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: back would you hypothetically start in your fantasy playoff game?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Who will get more carries? Harris is strong, You have
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to have a better option on the waiver wire a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and also if you really want, like go go and
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: look and see who's available in the league, like you're
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: gonna put all your eggs and trying to pick the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: one who's going to score a touchdown. Like I mean,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: last week you would have gotten lucky. You know, you
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: got a touchdown either way, but you went fantasy. I
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: was thinking you were saying, no, I'm real hats, need
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to go to the real waiver Wow, find somebody like
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, no, no no, I'm talking about
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: for his nookus again. No, those two guys did fine.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Last week. You know, actually in real football, they you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: know that they did fine, But he's talking about his
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs. If you lost Stevenson, I think you need
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to get somebody off the waiver wire or you don't
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: want to replace them with. But if you had complete
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: total unknown, maybe Harris. I mean, I don't know. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: just think if they got any goal line, he probably gets.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Running backs are the demographic of running backs I would
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: avoid at all costs because it's just historically And I mean,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: how about Damian Harris, Like, you know, we could really
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: use him to come back this week. I mean, I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: think that's he's been practice. He did he did practice, Yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: but he did practice. If you're at the Patriots, do
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you try to shorten the game by establishing the run
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and run as much as you can. That doesn't mean anything.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, which the record and teams have the time
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: of possession advantage, well, you know, doesn't mean minimize the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: amount of time that the Vegas offenses on the field. Yeah,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean I would just say
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: generally for the Patriots offense to continue to try to
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: sustain drive and you know, I mean that that's been
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: one of their weaknesses this year. They're you know, not
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of drives that go ten plus plays, there's
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you know, six, and they have a penalty and a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: big play kind of mixed in a little bit. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I just I think this game, and I don't want
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to like get ahead of myself because I think they're
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: gonna need similar efforts for the next three games. But
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I just I think they need their best game. They
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: need a I don't want to say perfect game, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: probably pretty close to a perfect game. And they're probably
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: gonna need a perfect game pretty much for the Cincinnati
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and Buffalo for sure. This one, I think is a
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: bad defense. I think you can stay on the field,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: like Fred said, against this defense. I just guess the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: way I'm coming at it is, I'm expecting that, Yes,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I think that they can have some success against the defense,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: but I think they need a lot of it. Like
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna need to put up thirty points
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: plus and you know, so it's one thing to say, yeah,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: we canna have some success and score twenty points, but
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: can we get to thirty four? Can we you know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: get up into the thirties. And I think they're gonna
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: help them wrong. I think they're gonna have to throw
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the ball to do that, not just because of the injuries,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: but I think you need to you need to score
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the way you're talking about, You're not going to score
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: those kinds of points if you're just running the ball,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: especially if you're missing Harris and Stevenson. Now again, Harris
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: practiced yesterday, so maybe there's a chance that he's back
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: in there. I don't know, if you had to the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: fantasy thing, I think Mike says, you know, like the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the goal line carries will probably go to Kevin Harris
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: if if it was just Harrison and Strong, But I
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: would make an argument for Strong in terms of being
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: probably more productive, more opportunity to maybe have three catches. Yeah,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, I don't know exactly what they
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: would do if both of those guys weren't playing. But
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I think Damian Harris I think has a chance to play. Yeah, Stevenson,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I'm watching about him. We need him. Michael from Texas,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: if you had to choose one of the following for
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season, which would it be A
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Keith mac is a starter? Coaches stay the same, We
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: lose agil Or Parker and Bourne, but give up three
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: first round draft picks for Davante Adams or B B.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Zappy is the starter. Players stay the same, we get
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a new OC and Edelman comes back, however Remondri is
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: out for the year, or see Brady comes back. All
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: players and coaches remain but the same, but we have
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to give up Max, Zappy and Remandre. I'll take a hey, yeah, yeah,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I guess so yeah, Davante Adams here, believe me, that
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: would be I'm glad they're all really realistic. I just
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: liked the games. Fred, I don't know. I like to play.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I like to play Justin and Texas. Another Texas emailer,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: you guys hit on something yesterday with the coaches making
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: mistakes versus the players. Mattie p will be back next
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: year because I think Bill thinks the players just aren't executing,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: rather than Mattie Pe being totally inept at his current job.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Hope they bring in a young mind, but I just
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: don't see it. Yeah, I don't know, man. It's it's
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: as much as I'm totally on board with with what
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: we been talking about with getting an influx of new perspectives. Offensively,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to say it. But I mean,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I think if things are just allowed to continue as
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: they were, that they are going to try to run
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: it back, and you know, maybe they try to upgrade
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the personnel. But I don't know. I just I get
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: a bad feeling about unless it's kind of comes from
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: an edict on high of what needs to happen. I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, I do. I do think that they think
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: if we could just get them to do what we
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: want them to do, they'd be fine. But I think
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: most of the people now are like, no, no, they wouldn't,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: like you don't know what you're doing. Travis from Collierville, Tennessee,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: writing in about the Paul and Evan beef, idn't know.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't know we had one. Well at the close
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: of Thursday show, I guess last week y'all were debating
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: draft positioning and Evans said there is no Jalen Waddle
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in this coming draft. Paul talked himself into his argument,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: but refers to Evan's argument, Well, you're a Simmons guy
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: from USC Paul, were you calling out Evan's bad sports
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: media education? Or is in decisiveness by picking all sides
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: of the argument um? We had Eric for so long,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Please elaborate on the background of your swipe at Evan
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: so we may better understand him in any dating life updates.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but I don't really
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: know what any of it means. Yeah, I think Evan
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is really high on a receiver from USC. I think
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: his name is Simmons. This is a kid that transferred
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: from pitt to USC. So did he think that he
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: went to Simmons College? I don't know what he thinks.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: But we had no beef because I think we were
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: talking about the same thing. Yeah, the beef was like
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: three or four was actually longer than that. That that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: about two what kind Oh I thought you're gonna say,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: what constitute's going off for? Justin Jefferson? That was Oh yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that was a beef. That was That was a disagreement. Yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I mean they held him under wraps, you know, four
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards. You know that that to me
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: is a disagreement. Is who that dating life is? I
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: think that's barth right because it doesn't even make fun
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: of Alex for you know, just watching college football rattles
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the cage all the time in like in front of
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: people too, like in the best best true. I'm like,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: go easy on for Alex here. Wow. I try to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: go easy on the newcomers, so I don't want them
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to be completely frightened off. Fred Fred my target. At
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: some point though, we'll have to take the gloves off, right,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah with Evan. Yeah, I'll let you guys do that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get fired. Oh come on, no,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it's fun. Yeah, he gets he gets like pissy, you
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: know it's good. Yeah. Sorry, Well that's why Fred, you
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: were saying. I think Eric came up and you're like, oh,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it used to be fun to be able to rattle
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: cage you like that and something. And I said, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught it, but like I
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: was like, well maybe he'll be able to do it
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: again some day soon too, And I caught it. Evan
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: does not like oh no, but he'll kill chirp backs.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: That's why. That's why it's not fun. That's why it
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: is fun. See. I think Fred enjoys the back and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: forth like I, which I said this a million times.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You've never seen Fred in his element the way he
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: used to go at Felger when Felger one hundred years ago.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: You used to do Patriots Fridays on the old ESPN
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: raiwar pay to see that. Fred absolutely relished it, and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I think Fred likes doing it, like the back and forth,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: you know, the spring. Fred enjoy it. But if you know,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: he gives me that sideways smirk in the middle. But
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I am kind of a bully, like if you show
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: me that it's getting to you, that gives me encouragement.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: An agonizer. Yeah, and that's why by the time I
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: arrived at the show, Fred had like a collection of
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: things with Eric where it would just be like what
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: are we wearing today? Or like you just saw it coming, Like, oh,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I guess Fred, you're going with the waffle weave under
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the That's a weird look you this big animal rights guy.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Yet those are nice leather shoes you've got on that
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: The cat the cat one when he going on his
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: cat about not getting his cat taking his cat to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the vet, well, he's so ambiguous about like is it
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: a stray cat that you don't let in or is
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: it your cat? Now you know, he just won't give
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: you an honest answer. He's he's guarded funny, and then
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: he would just have to like consent and give you
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: what you wanted, because he kept badgering him about it. Yes, cat,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: what was the cat's name? Through him? What the cat's
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: name was? Meg? That that did not make that? Was
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that the name or was that the charity? I don't know.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: It's both both. I don't know. I don't know. Poor Eric,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: he's not even here to I was good. I wouldn't
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: say not even here to defend himself because he wouldn't
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: his legacy live, you know. Oh yeah, he carved out
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a niche by getting that we all want to have
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: as a legacy. Right, he's got one, right Snoop guy
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: on ESPN looks like Rich Keith. Yeah, a little bit.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: He's still like that. He's like the head of the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: taild Murphy. That's a little bit eyebrows on both of them. Yeah,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it's one on the top two. I like Randy Scott.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: He's funny. Um to him. He was at Nes did
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: you guys cross Paul? Yeah? I remember, Um. The name
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: is familiar. But no, Yeah, they didn't let you near
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the talent. No they did not. Actually, there were there
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: were some. There was at least one slime ball. There
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: wasn't there. Yeah, Todds to North Carolina what's up, Todd?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Jared stun him. I was, I was talking with a
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: friend and he's got a really interesting take on this
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: upcoming game as a Mac Jones revenge game for leaving
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: me with these crazy blue Blie leepers. So wait, so then,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: who's who's he gonna do? So, who's who's going to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: sabotage the game for the Patriots? Yeah? Like that that
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a bad thing? Know, I kind of like it. I
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: think maybe if he goes out there and you know,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: some help puts up thirty some points and we squeak
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: out a win, I'd be pretty impressed. Oh, I mean,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I just yeah, I just don't get the revenge, the
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: revenge pos he probably left me. I could I ask him.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I could see him like clinging to Josh's leg as
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: he's walking up. Please don't leave, That's what I was
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: going to say. Like he walks the Raiders sideline, It
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: just sits on the Raiders bench like, what are you?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Bro? You know, after the after
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the first three and out, he goes over to talk
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: to Josh because I was just I haven't had a
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: chance to do this all year. I was just gonna
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: say time out. He goes over to the ra Raiders bench, yah,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: or just like looks over. I think that we're going
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: to win this game. I just think that Mac is
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: going to step it up. Well, you you said we
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: were gonna absolutely lose last game, right or was that
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: pat Well? I don't I shouldn't say that. I ended
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: up picking the Patriots on the pregame show, but I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: had picked Arizona earlier in the week. I don't make
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: fun of anybody for picking the Arizona in that game.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I went, I don't any no one knew that the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: quarterback was going to go down with the twenty acl
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: three plays, I think they would have beat him. Other
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: they might have. They might have, but I mean we
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: will never know. Anybody who picked it didn't get a
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: chance to see their pick, right, That's all I'm saying.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't make fun of somebody for picking Arizona in
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: that game, now that's fair. But my prediction is pain
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: for the Raiders. I'm thinking we're gonna get four to
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: five sacks on him or this game and at least
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: one pick, and that's how we're gonna win. A man,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Thanks Tod, I hope you're right. Well, me too, jeez uh,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: telling her is in the Bay Area, what's up? Telling
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: her to Linger? Tully to Linger, it's tall Linger. Okay, hey,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: thanks for taking about call. Happy holidays to all of
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: you guys. Thank you. I'm actually excited for the game.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I'll be there this week again. I wanted to talk
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: about a possible wide recea re coggition for next week.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I know Paul Lex T. Higgins who was much younger,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: but I think there might be a chance that Mike
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Evans or DeAndre Hopkins might be on the market. I
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw the video that was
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: kind of floating last night on NFL Network where is
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: talking to Bill Belichick and how much he loves him
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: and vice versa. I don't There were some rulers that
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Patriots were interested in trading for him when he got
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: traded to Arizona from Houston and he got traded and
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: didn't trade for him. I know what they was rumors
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: right there they might be they were. They were also
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: interested in him. He was available, so if they were interested,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: they would have gotten him like well, unless they got
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: out bid. Yeah, they want to turn him to the Patriots.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: They want to turn him to the NFC team, Yeah right,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: but I would be interested him. I don't know if
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: you Yeah, I don't know, Like I think the Tampa
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: guys Evans and Godwin are worth um worth discussion because
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I think Brady's gone, and you just wonder if they're
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: going to try to go in a different direction, you know,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: so maybe maybe one of those two veterans is available. Hopkins,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I think is a huge part of the Cardinals. I don't.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's absolutely I mean I think and I know,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: like this was on and I'm not making fun of
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: telling you because this was a big thing on Twitter,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the whole talk. I just think if if you got
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: a chance to listen to the conversations that Belichick has
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: with opponents every week, you think the whole league was
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: about to sign with the Patriots. I'm just, oh, yeah,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I think he has tremendous respect for a lot of
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: different players that he doesn't necessarily talk about with us,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: but you see it on the field. Yeah, you know, um,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: you know, like did he ever express any more like
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: just respect to anybody other more than dread I was
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: just gonna say, and then caught him on the sideline
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: with that. It was almost it was almost like uncomfortable, like, right, man,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: it's so good Patriots, Like I just think that, Yeah,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not telling you there's no chance because like,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: who knows, Like maybe maybe Murray's gonna be out longer
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: than people think, you know, I know, initially people are thinking,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, this should be good enough that early
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: in the season, if not for the start of the
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: season he's expected to be ready. That could change, and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: maybe DeAndre Hopkins says, well, I can't afford to wait
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: around half a year with no quarterback. I want out.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe who knows. Yeah, these things happen. It's but of
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the three and Godwin or Hopkins, which would you take? Hopkins? Yeah,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I would sure. Evans seems like I don't know what's
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: going on with him. I mean him and Brady. I
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's Brady's fallen off, He's fallen off.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: They're both falling up. But it's just they don't It's
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: they don't even look like number one receiver anymore. It's
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: just they look on those same wrong page. You look
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: like they're just not I'd be really interested in Godwin
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: because I like the guy. The year after the town
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Acl yeah, you know, yeah, I think that you get
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit closer version of the old self after
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: some time. Lots of emails coming in. I would take
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: any of those three. However, of course, Hopkins is like
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: made in a test tube for the sole purpose of
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: catching footballs. He's that's deep. He's really good. That's deep.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Eric writes, And I'm road tripping from Colorado with my
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: dad with my debt. No, this is with Ah. He's
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: with his dad's sister brother in law to Vegas for
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the game this week, and we'll be listening to the
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: World's Original podcast while driving the eleven hour trip on Saturday.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you know of any Patriots tailgating or
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: gatherings that will be happening before the game that is
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: not inside the corporate MGM MODELO tailgate area. UM check
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: with Barry. I know. I mean, I've seen it on Facebook.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: They've had a bunch of stuff up of go to
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Patriots tailgate on Facebook and they're you're not hosting anything
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: this week. No, No, they're doing something. I think they're
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: trying to do something on the strip in the morning
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: before the game. I think they're they're At last I
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: saw they were trying. So there's definitely stuff going on.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Go to find Patriots tailgate. Patriots tailgate on face. They
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: have a fan club out in Vegas. Oh yeah, yeah
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: in Vegas. I'm not sure if there's an actual Vegas
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: proper fan like friends. Nie. Oh yeah, Oh wait a minute,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But well Arizona, Yeah, probably heavily, Arizonas too. Yeah.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Where do you say was going down? D's going Denver
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: to Colorado, to Colorado, he says. My game prediction is
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Patriots win, which as of today would
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: be just under the overrunder of forty four and a
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: half seven points for the Patriots coming from a muffly
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: fick flee flicker attempt by the Raiders run back for
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: touch down by Dietrich Wise. Nice, I like the specific Yeah, ps, Fred,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: if you're just ever curious being from Colorado, I know
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: the secret to how Denver only plays home games. I'd
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: let you in on the secret, but then you know
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: what the sharps know. Also just curious. Yeah, yeah, I'm
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: a big fan of that email. No you don't like
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: the email, No, I'm a big fan of that email.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: A lot of subtleties in there making fun of all
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: of us. I like it. Yeah, she's talking about test
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: tubes and whoses, Mike and BOC over time, disrespectful to
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: his I want to make a recommend I want to
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: make a recommendation for the next Patriots OC. Rather than
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: start with his name, I'll begin with his qualifications A
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: game out of the next. This is the greatest show ever,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: So I'll just keep reading at any time you can. Yeah,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: but once you guess, you're yeah, that's it. He played
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: six years in the Patriots system with each of Josh,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: with Josh Daniels and Bill O'Brien. He has had hundreds
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: of passes from both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. He
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: clearly understands how to see the game through the eyes
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback in that's welcome, was the answer. Yeah, Yeah,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: he's down at what Miami's receiver coach right now? Yeah.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Not not a terrible suggestion and not one that I've
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: heard of anywhere anyone. But you talk about Frost, he's
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: doing a great job. I mean, would Belichick ever bring
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Wes Welker on to his staff. You guys probably speak
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: to that more than me. I don't know what what
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: it was like when he left. I know that obviously
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the benching in the playoff was not bent, and there
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: was a whole thing when he left, Like you know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I think his agent said that the Patriots the money too. Yeah,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: they franchised him and didn't expect him to sign it,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and he signed it right away and they got pissed.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's too soon. Yeah, it's uh, it's kind of
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: nice to stick it in Bill's face every once in
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a while. So this this is definitely well, there you go.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: But I who says that as a Patriots player? But
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: have you passed it? Though? Bill wished him good luck
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: in his US Open qualifying Yeah, yeah, a long time ago. Yeah,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell, like grudges or I don't know, Yeah,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: does he still do they feel? I mean it's like,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: give a look of the fundele now, I don't know
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: the US Open store. I wonder how West is as
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: a coach, you know. See again I wish Scout was
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: here because he could go right into a coach impression.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean, Tyreek, just do what you do?
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, no, everything started with either no, yeah
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: or yeah no, super excited. That's grow of my best.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: That's Gronk, that's the best, the best of abilities. Uh speaking,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: freds No says last offseason, I believe both Pepe and
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: the Duce express significant concern regarding DeVante Parker's injury PRONEUS
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: and potential to miss time. I cannot, for the life
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: of me explain their lack of peacocking on the front
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: because I don't find injuries fun. Yeah, like I don't.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I don't celebrate injuries as others do. He said, the
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: next time he plays a full season will be the first.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: You were clearly correct, and therefore are expected to trumpet
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: your rightness with a healthy side of big beefy sniffs. No,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I got a trumpet my wrongness because I was, you know,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: more enthusiastic about anyway. As for this flexed out Vegas tussle,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: neither team can figure it out in a seventeen seventeen
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: bartastic tie for the Ages someways that probably be appropriate,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: But that would be appropriate, probly the only thing that
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: the Raiders haven't done. Tie. But I'm gonna keep that
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Welker thing in my head because I haven't heard anybody
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: say that. Quick correction, it was Woodhead, not Welker or
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: the US Open thing. Yeah, I was trying to Danny Woodhead.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: You know that's why I you know, Mike's looking at me.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, you have a quizzical look. It's like
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know the Welker story. And then after you
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: saw that, I was like, wait, did I misremember it?
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: And I did? Um short Connor says he's from Reno,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: close to Vegas. So, assuming we move on from or
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: reassigned Patricia next season, who on this offensive staff do
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: you want to keep and let go? I mean, who
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: else is there? This is like it's him and Judge
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Troy Brown is the Brown since Billy Yates, Like, I mean,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: these guys are such young coaches. I don't really have
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: any attachment or right, And I'm assuming Nick Tayley is
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: gonna leave me too. I would like to keep him,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: but I'm assuming that's not going to be an option.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: I think they got to bring in coaches this year
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: because if it's lining up like they're gonna lose some coaches, like,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you really gotta stem the time. What do you do
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: if you start losing defensive coaches? Yeah, if you lose
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Mayo or like, right, Matt writes in the Marcus Jones
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: comparison to Tai Kwan is interesting. I believe Jones can
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: make guys miss and is a stronger, faster player. Ty
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Quan is more straight line speed and from the looks
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: of it, doesn't run good routes and is learning. If
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the Patriots believed Taekwon could run those plays than he would.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: The fact that Marcus is coming in the play some
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: snaps to play some snaps, it's very telling to their
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: feelings with wide receivers. With that being said, with Marcus
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: having some success in the slot, shouldn't that tell Bill
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: that we need a dynamic slot receiver to help our offense.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Last point, I don't think Bill will keep the same
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: offensive coaches next year. But if he did, what free
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: agent offensive player is going to want to sign here?
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: The Patriots would have to play overpay in order to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: do that and be in trouble with bad contracts. Again,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: love you guys and keep up the great content. That's
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: another really good email, except for I would say, if
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you pay them, they'll come. Yeah, that's what he's saying,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: But he said he doesn't want to pay them. I
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: don't care. I just want good players. So It's one
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of the things I've been thinking about for the offseason
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: is quickness. I don't think they have quickness on this team,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: and that's kind of surprising. Like I mean talk about
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: like speed, sure, like you know, you do have some
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: some speed, and I think Marcus Jones and Tae Kwon
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: at some point hopefully we'll show it. But it's just interesting,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Like I just feel like that's a great fit for
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Max somebody, you know. I'm always looking at those guys
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: in Day two and three of the draft. I really
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: like Kyle Phillips, who you know, has been okay I
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: think in Tennessee. But I just I think quickness is
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: what you gotta get guys that can get open quick
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: because even you know, guys like Thornton, Yeah he's fast,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: but he's not getting open right away from Mac Jones
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: in the face of a blitz. You know. So I
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: for a team that was built with like the Troy
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Browns and the West Welkers and you know, all these
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: guys who just had incredible quickness inside, and it seemed
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: like such a priority. The covers are dry right now,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: there are not There are no guys like that right now.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Who are you know, the proverbial three cone darlings that
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: that they always like seem to like like. I mean,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I just was Myers, yeah, and and and and I
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: like him, but I just, you know, I don't think
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: that he's gonna run that little whip route that that
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: that Edelman used to and leave somebody in the dust
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: with his head. It's like a glaring issue with how
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: much pressure Mac feels or is under. Are useful would
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: it be to you know, have a guy who can
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: ditch somebody and you know, right off the line. And
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just I think that that would be
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: an excellent thing for Mac, you know next year in
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: development that I wish they I wish they had tried
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: to give it to him this year. Kareem and Boston,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: do you think the Patriots are grooming two time Super
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Bowl champion defensive coordinator, a newly offensive coordinaor and Matt
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Patricia to be the successor to Bill Belichick? It would
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: be good for him to no offense and defense as
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: a head coach to America's team. No, no, because as
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: we said, as friend said, they don't get to pick
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: and they don't get to set up the succession plan.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, but I do think that probably the plan
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: and the thought and the idea was that let's hit
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: the reset button with Maddy, p and Mac and make
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: and tie them together and they'll grow together over these
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: next few years. And you know, I just I wonder
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: how much they anticipated it was going to go as
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: badly as it did, like, you know, like, oh, well,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: we'll overcome it. There'll be some growing pains early in
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: the season, but we'll start to find our stride and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: you know, and maybe they will find a little stride here.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's going to make enough
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: of a difference, certainly in the fans minds of can
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: we run it back like that? Spee again says, has
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: it occurred to any of you that Evan is kind
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: of like Eric but with math? Yes? Well, yeah, the
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: difference is Evan likes football. I was gonna say, with
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: football knowledge, Yeah right, yeah, No, I mean Evan can't
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: get enough of it. I mean he is just Yeah,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I can make fun of hold on Eric like everything
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: but football, right, I can make fun of Evan for days,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: but so vastly different, probably too much. Evan had a girlfriend.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot, there's a lot of friend
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: he's got to find that. That's why, you know, that's
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: why he calls himself a bully, because he sees the weakness.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: He'll find it. He'll find it. He's looking for I'm
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: not no, I'm not like you got a girlfriend? Okay,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: cross that one off. What are you wearing? That's okay? Sorry?
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I get a feeling he's playing above the rim. What
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: do you think, hey, most of us he has he
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: has a girlfriend. That's true. He's above the right. Brendan
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: and Edmonton. Do you think Robert Kraft questions Belichick for
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the last lack of success in the last three to
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: four years or do you think he can see what
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: we all see the loss of James Devlin. That's franchise
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: back decade. Thank you so, I guess. Peter King had
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: some more interesting comments that he was at the game.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, he was at the Arizona game. Yeah, okay,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: that lends more credence to his comments. Then he said
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: that he felt like the Crafts feel like this team
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: should be more successful than it has been. This team
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: yeah twenty two version. Yeah, do you agree? Do you
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: think it should be more successful? I think the offense
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: should be better than this yeah. Yeah, I think the
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: record is about what I expected. Yeah, which is like,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: That's what I can't get past. Is like I could maybe,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, I could maybe say I think
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: they should have won the Green Bay game. I don't
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: really think they should have won the Bears game, just
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: because I think that's the one game year where you
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: didn't really have that that team team to play. That
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: game is going to happen almost every year, but the
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Green Bay game, it felt like they're a bad team
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: you probably could have had. But otherwise it's not like
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I can sit here and tell you that this team
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: should have beat Buffalo or you know, like they're kind
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: of the same team. So I just I can't get it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I can't get by that. I think it's I think
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: the record is what Mike says, but I think that
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: they should they should look better than they have. Yeah,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Adam and Lowell, Indiana. Two things. One, I have us
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: winning thirty one nineteen wow. And two any idea if
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: we play on Saturday or Sunday Week eighteen. I have
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: a vacation plan that week, and I need to know
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: if I need to cut it short. Yeah, I don't
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: think you'll know that we won't the week of, Would
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: it be the week of or the week before? The
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: week before? They well, once the week seventeen results are
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: in and they know the situation, that's when I think
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: that they schedule because that's how they determine the last game,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: like the night game. Yeah, it's usually a winner, go
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: home game. It's gonna be like two teams losing records playing.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I'd be like if two NFC Cell teams play in
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Week eighteen, Carolina versus Tampa Bay winners, beautiful. You know,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if they PlayN and t Um
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Bob in Wilmington, North Carolina. He says, I'm telling you
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Bill has him right where he wants him. He gets
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: to play the underdog the next four games. Regardless of
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: winning the next three, who'll be telling everyone about how
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: nobody thinks they can win, nobody thinks they're good, nobody
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: wants to see them back in the playoffs. Well, guess what.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Barmore is back this week, and with Judan and Uche
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: firing on the outside, the opposing quarterbacks are in big trouble.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: The offensive joke from the rookies will inspire everyone. When
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: the Patriots may not lose another game this year. Nobody
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: motivates better than Bill, and the talent on this team
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: is up to the task, no matter how hard Paul
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: tries to talk them down. Patriots beat Vegas twenty nine,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: seventeen seventeen. I mean, I think I agree with the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: point that if they're gonna have a strong finish, it's
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be led by the defensive front and bar
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Moore if he if he comes back, and if he's
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: effective ouch maintaining his level of play wise looking more
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: like he was at the beginning of season, and Jude
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: On being Judeon, you know, I mean, you can see
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: it happening if if they're able to dominate against you know,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any other option really, I
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: mean against Joe Burrow. If you give him all the
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: time in the world, he's gonna kill you. I mean,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: if they don't have an answer for two of finally,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: you know, and the weather doesn't help them out, it's
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: tough to see if you're not getting after him, and
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: we know it's just want to know where the points
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: come from thirty one, nineteen, twenty nine seventeen. I just
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: want to know where the points are coming from. That's
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: why they're gonna keep scoring defensive touchdowns every week. If
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: they do, Bill win, You're totally right. I can't even
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: get to the offense. I'm like, just it's a non
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: starter if the defense doesn't play well, because then you're
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: never getting there. But I just I have to start there.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: And if those guys play crazy and are forcing you know,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: takeaways and you know, keeping the quarterbacks under wraps, then
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: you know, then it's a start, and maybe the door
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: will stay open enough offensively to put up enough points
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: to win. And then you have to protect Mac against
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Max Crosmy get me? So this is this is since
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: late October fourteen, twenty two, twenty six, ten, twenty six, ten,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. That counts all the defensive scores, which there
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: have been many. Yeah, that counts all the defensive points
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: that they've scored. Um. I was in Arizona last week
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: and I met up with some of our biggest fans
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: while I was there, and one of them was by
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Apparel Chester and he's on the phone right now. What's
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: up Chester? Okay, what's going on? Guy? How you doing
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: back in a long time? No here on this show?
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Where you been a new job Monday through Friday, and
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I have met we have meetings like right from ten
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: to twelve on my time zone. Coach just screws the
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: whole thing. I couldn't you get an email or give
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: me a number. I'll talk to your boss. Will these meetings, Yes,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: he'll be he needs to tell you what you know,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: he'll be experienced with ogal weekend or definitely some incentive
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: to start ramping up the calls again. It was a
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: hell of a weekend. And tell your fascination really turned
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: out for this one in Arizona, not that they don't normally,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: but I'd say probably sixty forty maybe fifty fifty in
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: the fan ratio and the stadium, and it was an
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: electric feeling. You know. I had the old Grogan throwback
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: and the neck role going for this one, and uh
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: a good thing. As many times I was looking to
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the sky, I think you made it to TV, didn't you?
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Did you get on TV? What did you get on
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the broadcast? Yeah? And me and the boys got on
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: the little TV right after that Judoon Stack and UH
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: got a chance to get a Dietrich wise a little
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: high five at the end there. Pretty awesome, but you know,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you just a couple points here just to
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: make about you know, just hearing what I was just
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: hearing a while on hold. The biggest reason why to
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: me that this team is regressing from last year. Obviously,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: losing Josh is a big one, but the state of
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: the offensive line is just brutal. And I feel like
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: kind of both sides of the ball, the breakdowns and
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: the trenches just seem to be domino effect week after
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: week after week. And I feel like the defensive line
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't that much better to last year, but it was better.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: It was a little more solid, and uh, I don't know,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: every time I watched these games, it's the breakdowns up
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: front seemed to just just be plaguing us everywhere else,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: you know, aside from the downside and talent um. You
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: know that said, you know, I know there's a lot
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: of doom and gloom fans out there, but there's a
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: lot of us. I still believe that there's a you know,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: the viable nucleus keep growing, and you know, you just
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: gotta hope for steady progress. I feel like the Raiders
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: are a good matchup for us this week. We can
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: stop the rhyme so all right, good one more, see
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: what happens with Cincinnati. All right, Chester, but that's all
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: the great Sea and your Fred Okay, Karen, get to
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: that pro shop and buy apparel by Apparel. Yeah. Ester
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't have his heart in it. I worry about him. Yeah,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: he used to really come. He used to rally the
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: troops and get the buy apparel. Was very very specific. Yeah,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: don't plus them. I'm with Chester. So I also with
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: with with Chester. He was one of the guys. And
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: I told you that I had that snarky tweet after
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: the Rams beat the Raiders last week. I couldn't believe
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: you said that, and I said, you know, down sixteen
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: to three, two touchdowns in the last last three minutes.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: I always thought there was a lot of similarities between
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Brady and Baker, you know. In the vast majority of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: people that interacted about it, literally no, no, they understood
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: that I was being snarky. Chester of all people, says,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: you are right, guy, like I was being serious. Yeah,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: that's just poor to me. You know. He brings up
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the offensive line though, and I think, um, you know,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: not to not to get Paul too much credit here,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, it is just something you
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: were on in the offseas, this is what they chose.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of teams lose their right tackle
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't all of a sudden look napped like
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: this is four fifth so what they wanted. So, you know,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: I like, it's a bigger problem to me of talking
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: about the team building aspect of the position not And
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: I listened to it every week. I listened to these experts,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: you know, that know a lot more about football than
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I do, and they're talking about one of the biggest
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: deficiencies in the league is offensive lineman. And it's not
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: just former offensive lineman. It's not just John Hannah saying it.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of these guys talking about how bad
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: the offensive line play is. So a lot of other
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: offenses are getting by right now. Philadelphia has arguably the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: best offensive line in footballs, you know, so that's a
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: different story. But there are other teams that are finding
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: ways to move the ball with suspect offensive line play.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's just that it's a problem I have.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: I have eyes. Mac Jones has been under more pressure
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: this year than he was last year. I mean, I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: can see that, but I just don't think it tells
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the whole story. Yeah, Jason new Englander in Clearwater, Florida.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: With the defensive line playing so well in recent weeks,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: what sort of impact would you reasonably expect Christian Barmore
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: to have once he returns? And do you think he
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: will this week? I do think he will return this week.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be in that role that he was in.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Hopefully the knee is good and he can use that
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: sub rusher role, that leverage, you know, because you got
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of weight there and he's he's a strong guy.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: He needs strong knees to you know, get that leverage. Love,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: love us strong finish from him. I mean I think they.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: I think they really need it. And he talk about
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: somebody who can spark the defensive line to another level.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: I think he, you know, he could be it. I mean,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I just hope he comes back fresh and raring to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: go and not like we think he can kind of
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: fight through it at this point, Like, you know, I
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: want him to come back and be what we hoped
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: he was fine. I hope this is just kind of
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: a procedure thing that he's on the injury report, because
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like that I kind of thought they were
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: being safe by putting him on IR, just saying like, Okay,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: he's been trying to play, it's bugging him. Let's just
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: give him full four games off and then he'll come
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: back and he'll be fine. But but if Ramf and
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Waller aren't on, then listed has limited to me. No,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: But but that's the way they would do it. Oh
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: you mean there, that's that's very consistent with the way
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: they would do it. I hope that he is fine
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: and just he's coming off IR, so we're gonna list him. Um.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: And also he wants to know what's the status of
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Marcus Cannon. He's on I R still I think he's yeah,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: I mean it's concussion. He could come back at any point.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's eligible. But him and I mean she's
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer. I mean, I haven't seen Brian talked about
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: a guy getting a concussion. Just a community event you
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: did two weeks ago. Okay, so he's out and about,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: but I mean he must be. He's out, he's having
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: a long conversation. He's clearly still with it. So that's good.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Concussions are tough. Andrew says, did you see the report?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: What was the lighting like in the room that you
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: were talking. It was a vast pro shop, so it's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: kind of dark. I can't lie. It was pretty dark
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: and it was the evening. Yeah, sorry about this. Did
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: you see the report that Godwin Evans, Brady Hopkins, and
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald had been spotted at the Hurts counter at Logan? Yes,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: back with Belichick because Belichick was talking to I love
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: seeing that meme going around with Brady, just because I've
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: gotten got by that meme. Just I've gotten got I
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: got got back in the day. I got it the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: trash Which one of the great Which one did you
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: get got by? Larry Fitzgerald? One the Larry the quote
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: like the famous Larry Fitzgerald at the Hurts counter at
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Logan Airport. You've gotten got by that like originally like
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: years ago. That is back. I think that is one
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: of the funniest ones. That is continue to just stands
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: the test of times. It takes me every time. I
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: think it's our guy Boston Cream. Oh he's he's the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: one that started that. I don't know if he started it,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: but he hats off because that's right, that one has
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: been that's ten years. I feel. I like when people
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: use that meme and they say, you know, like Travis Kelsey. Yes,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: that's how I got got by it. Fred Is. I
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: was like, what are you talking about? The player you're
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: talking about is bald. This man isn't buy someone was
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: followers Now, oh I thought it was a bald shot.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: I did. Okay, I did. Did you order food? No,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: you didn't get garlic bread. I don't know if it
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: was coming. Speaking of food, I wanted to. I want
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: to thank VIP Strippers for Yeah, I didn't mention that
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: he bought lunch yesterday. Yeah, yeah, that was really nice.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you so for all your very important stripping needs. Yes,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: the strippers. VIP Strippers will handle all of those, you know,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: whether it's a corporate event or private at home birthdays.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Bar mitzvahs. I had a bacherette in charleson h Now
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: a man sit over there and say hello on the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: big stage. Dude can make it rain my room. Uh,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: let's see. Melvin wants to know. Is the Patriots record
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: where you thought it would be at this point in
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: the season. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I thought
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: it was going to be eight and nine. It could
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: be nine and eight now, but I thought it was,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: you know, so it's about where we thought it was.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: It never transpires the way you thought, but at the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it all levels pretty close. Though.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: I think you would probably like no one thought they
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: would lose to the Bears, um, and then you just
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: kind of just pick another game that they want, you know.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I think that might be the difference, like with nine
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and eight, eight and nine, that kind of stuff. I
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: think it's going to end up being right around the
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: way a lot of people felt. It doesn't feel like
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: they've gotten one. They weren't supposed to yet though, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: which is which would be nice here. Maybe it's coming up,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: I think they I mean, when was the last time
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: they got one they weren't supposed to? You mean against
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: the team that you felt that was quote unquote better
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: than them. Yeah, last year Buffalotimore, Buffalo's game last year
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: in the in the wind, Yeah, that was a game
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: that you felt the team. That's the thing is that
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: the closest they got is when they almost beat Tom
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: in the Bucks. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't win well Dallas, Yeah,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: you know the actually one no, you have to go
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: yeah twenty it's Cam Newton, It's it's com Newton Um
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Baltimore in the pouring rain here. Yeah, that's but again
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: there's a qualifier, and I know I can't do anything
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: about the qualifiers, but you know we had to play
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: in the rain too. Was it the RAM super Bowl?
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Was it the RAM super Bowl? And they're a running team?
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Um to Fred and Paul, this is from Rick and
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: haverl Um, what is your favorite Bill Parcel's story when
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: he was in New England. I'll leave this to you, Fred,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: because I don't have any Bill Parcels stories. You don't know.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: I wasn't he has one here, I have. I have
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. I mean, yeah, if you've got
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of little quips onselves quips, yeah, a lot
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: of his sayings. But well, you know, like one of
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: my favorites is we I had. I was told I
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: had to hire Drew Bledsoe's best friend for a season,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: so I did. He was this little guy. He looked
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: like Radar O'Reilly from mash you know, and um, he
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: was convinced that he was going to become friends with Parcels,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: like he was gonna like that's lofty goal, right, So
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: back then you could at a different time, Yeah, back
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: then you could ride any bus you wanted on the
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: away trips. You didn't weren't relegated to the last Yeah,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: so we're you know, like I was. No, I was
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: on his bus a lot. But this kid um what
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: was his name, Spike Spike. Spike says meals right, I'm
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: gonna go sit with Parcels. I'm like, no, don't do that.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: He was no watch. So Parcels Alwa was sat in
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: the front right seat. So, uh, Spike gets up and
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: sits there before Parcels gets on the bus. So Parcels
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: gets on and he looks and he goes, huh goes
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: goes get out. So instead of getting out, he moves
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: over one seat and Parcels like Spike, get out, f
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: out and he goes back and go. That worked out
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: pretty well, huh Like yeah, best friends forever. Yeah, that
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: that was funny and was at the end of his pursuits. Yeah,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: that was that was That was pretty much it. That
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: was pretty much. It helped Fred out. Yeah, there was
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: another time when I when he when I first got there,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: like you know, you do the production meeting and at
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: the time, NBC was the AFC network now with CBS,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: but it was NBC, so they would always have the
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: production meetings with them, and and uh, I asked our
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: PR guy at the time, Don Lowry, said, can you
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: ask Bill if I can sit in on the production meetings,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: you know, like with NBC. You know, I'll ask. So
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: he comes back, I said, did you ask? He goes, yeah,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: he said, tell Fred he's not NBC, you know. But
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: at least though, it feels like you can just be
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: upfront and he's gonna just say no, yeah, you just
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: say okay, And then that's when you could ask that
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: same question now and I'll let you know when you
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: get an answer. When I first got there, they said,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we're when to have you meet the coach,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: you know, tell him what you're gonna be doing. So uh,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: they said, you know, be down at the stadium. Because
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: back then I worked in Boston, there weren't there wasn't
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: room in Fox Sports. So be at the stadium at
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: ten o'clock. He's going to meet with you. I get
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: there nine o'clock. He made me wait until like three
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. So finally, all right, he's ready for you.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: So I go down there and he's like leaning against
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: his door and he's like, you're the guy. I'm like yeah,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: because all right, come in so so. So I go
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: into his office sitting across from him. He's got the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: little elephant statues you know that he was famous for.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: And uh, I start telling him, you know what I'm
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm gonna start this newspaper. He's like, I've
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: seen these newspapers that blah blah blah. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I go, this is gonna be a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: legit newspaper. It's you know, people are gonna have to
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: pay for it. We're not just gonna give it away,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: you know, to people. And so he was like okay,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: and then you know, he's like, so where are you from?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: And the story he thought I was Jonathan Craft's boyhood friend,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: that's why they're high. I go, well, I used to
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: live in New Jersey. Oh really, because where I go, Manala,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: because I know where that is. So then all of
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: a sudden everything was okay. Yeah, you know, we had
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: a good conversation. He connected as human being. Yeah, because
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: you know New Jersey. Yeah, you know a little bit
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: of Jersey boys. Yeah, what was the elephants thing? I
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: don't he has, he collects elephant statues, but the trunks
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: have to be in the upright position. If not, it's
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: bad luck. Okay, So all of his elephant statues, their trunks,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: do they have to face the north? No, No, that's interesting. Yeah,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: my old, my old buss Eric he had a bunch
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: of elephants too. And now I'm wondering if, yeah, if
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: it was the same kind of thing, if if I
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if all the trunks are you don't
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: know this sort of stuff, you know. That's why I
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: was going to ask, is does Parcel's practice Hinduism or Buddhism?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: Not just just a good luck thing? I think? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: trunks are always up though. Yeah. But yeah, Parcels was
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: you know, he was He was a character. Oh yeah,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: you know. He he was no different than Bill in
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: terms of giving information. He was just he just did
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: it better. Yeah, he did a bit. He was entertaining
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: when he did it, you know, And every once in
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: a while he'd insult somebody and he'd snapped. Then privately
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: he'd apologized to them. You know, but I never got it.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: I wasn't here when I didn't get a chance that's
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: a dumb ass question. You give me a break with
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: that crap. You don't know what you're talking about. You're
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: a jerker. Yeah, I didn't get a chance. Like the
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: day to day stuff that Fred's talking about. I never
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: you know, when Pete Carroll was the coach when I started.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: It was this last year. Yeah, talk about different. Oh God,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: Pete was just he was tough, though in his own way.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Like it was. It was a lot of like babbling
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: incoherence with with Pete. Yeah, you'd go back and listen
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: to your recording. You were like, what did he say? Yeah,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: he kind of like mumbled to himself. But he was
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: highly competitive, Like he like his practices, like he set
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: up competition. He wanted guys to compete in practice, and
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: you know, he was a competitive guy. Pete, he still is.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's right, but he was completely different. You know.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: He was, you know, the owner's coach and all that stuff,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: whereas Parcels was like, I don't know if I'm going
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: to be here next year, you know, I mean, do
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: you think that that style you know, the owners were
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: conscious of getting away from that style and getting back
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: to a more disciplinarian Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it was
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: a tough guy. Players coach, tough guy. I mean it's
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: always the Crafts. The Crafts really like Belichick right away
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: at ninety six when he came. But they felt that
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: they just could They had to separate themselves from the
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: parcel's tree connections to make right to this. They had
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: to just make a clean break. Yeah, but they like
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: they like Belichick, So that's one. Yeah, you want to
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: do the whole You know what if if they had
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: hired Belichick and Belichick was able to maintain that staff, Yeah,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: they may have won a couple before the dynasty began. Absolutely,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: they got a quarterback. Absolutely see that that's one of
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: those when he's a bully. He's a bully and he
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: knows there are things that will trigger me. He gave him,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: gave me the all right, back to the email. It's
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: just looking for that food. Well I didn't if he
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: needs a break, I just want to know when the
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: brakes happening. Yeah, pizza time, Oh how long ago. It's
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: like it's like a nice yas So there's something going
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: on out there. It was freezing rain when I went
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: out to my car to get my lunch. Maybe zombies
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: have taken over Foxborough. You know, you never know because
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: we're down here. We have no windows. We don't know
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: what's going on out there. You'll be safe in here,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: you guys for now. Yeah, a little wait till we
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: run out of DIAPEPSI, Matt and I are down here,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: you guys. You guys are upstairs, you guys with the
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: pretty people. If there were zombies out there, Paul, would
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: you risk it and go to d'angelo's for us? If
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: what if there were zombies out there? Not for Deangelos now,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: but I'd go to the making the d'angelos if the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: zombies A yeah, I'd go to the North End Delhi FORO. Yeah,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: that's worth it. That's worth a risk, all right, They
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: keep going Jason and Barcelona. A few weeks ago, Max
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: Crosby had ten of the Raiders League low thirteen sacks,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: which was incredible ratio. Their pass rush has picked up
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: a bit more recently, and he now has eleven and
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: a half of their twenty five. I've watched three or
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: four Raider games this season, and he's been very impressive.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: With a NonStop motor, he could seriously wreck what is
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: a horrible Patriots offense, not to mention the shaky tackle
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: and offensive line play in particular. I'll be interested to
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: see how or even if the Patriots can slow him.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: Have you seen much of him in action this season?
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: I saw the same thing. He's excellent him. Yeah, how
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: do you miss him? That's my biggest worry for this
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: week is him? Yeah, Connor McDermot, you know yea. So
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: here's what I would would ask from Afar though, is
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: they've had a really hard time closing out games and
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: he has been exceptionally good. Happened? Why is Nils up?
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: They have these big leads the other team's got to
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: throw to get back in it. Why is he not
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: coming up with a play when he needs it? Good questions?
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: He coming up with plastic sacks? I wonder. I wonder
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: if it's like Chewton though, where they're giving him attention
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones wasn't producing. So if you're if you're
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: if you're neutralizing him with a couple of blockers, and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: then you know what I'm saying, the end of a game,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: you don't really have that luxury. If you're spreading, you
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: just have five guys and everybody's got you know, what
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, if you're down seventeen in the fourth
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: quarter and you're throwing it all over the place, you're
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: not devoting extra blockers to to Max cross before. Also,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: do you think the main reason for the wasted timeouts
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: and other game management issues is due to Belichick paying
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: more attention to what's going on with play calling and
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Mattie p and not focusing enough on the overall game. Also,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: he's probably lacking any game time input as good as
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Ernie was. And I think that's an interesting issue that
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't really you know, but but like the plays not
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: going in on time is because Bill's paying too much
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: attention to the plays, Yeah, the whole overall game. That
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't make sense that he's paying too much of time
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: to Mattie Peter. Don't know how you can pull one
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: issue as to why they're doing it. They're just they're
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: not executing well. They have an inexperienced play caller who's
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: probably you know, a second or two slow. Yeah, Like,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that's like this massive and DiPT
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: of matt Patrician, right, and he's never done it and
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: they asked him about it, you know, when he did
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: his avail earlier this week, and you know, he said,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you're hoping for a look that you
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: don't quite get and then you know those and he's
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: not as prepared. You know, Oh, let's quick tactic. Wow,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: we didn't get it. So we'll just fall back to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: why do you do something? And more it becomes second nature, right,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: It certainly isn't second nature for him yet. Yeah, you know,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: and that's why I'm not going to make the argument
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: of Matt Patricia deserves year two. But I bet you
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Bill will. I mean, I bet you that you know that.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, there is a learning curve to all this,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: and you know, and there's a certain bar of what's
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: acceptable and what's not. And there's some promise maybe that
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: you feel like, all right, there are elements there that
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: we can build off of. I haven't seen those elements yet,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: but I think that they're you know, if they do
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: run it back with him in this position, that will
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: be that'll be what they say, you know, his first
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: year doing this, we feel like, well, you know, take
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: the offensive line off of his plate, allow him to
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: have a full off season with mac. Sorry making my
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: six myself sick as I'm saying this. But if you
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: had to say, and we have four weeks of games
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: before we get into all this, but if you had
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: to say, if it was up to Bill solely Bill
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: and no one, no one said a word to him,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: do you think it would change? I don't do Nope.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: So I don't think what you're saying is like just
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: this silly talk. I think if I think if there's
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: a different offense recorded in the next year, it's gonna
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: be because there was an organizational discussion and Bill was
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: on board with it. Yeah, yeah, it's got to be
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: even without a discussion. He's got to make some adjustments. Well,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: that's just like he gotta. And I think one of
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: the people that wrote in like is he is he
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: seeing what it is of how bad it is? Of
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: course he is. So I mean I have to imagine
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: he's as frustrated as we are. You know, that they
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: that they can't get it yet, that the offense that
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: they have to like win in spite of their offense
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: still here in week fourteen or whatever. It is, all right,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Paul's foods here, So we'll take a break when we
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: come back. More calls and emails, mostly emails, and then
• 1:18:49

  Speaker 1: but I'm closing the gap. I mean that that crap
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: ain't even close. All right, let's get right into it tonight,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: eight fifteen on Prime Video the nine and four forty
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: nine ers and is Purty quarterbacking, I'm not sure, questionable
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: questionable against the seven and six Seahawks, uh San Francisco
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: by three and a half. That's a tough one. Yeah,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: a battle. Seettle was kind of the darlings early on.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: They've they've kind of come back to earth a little bit.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: Um tough, especially with the issues at quarterback for San Francisco. Man,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with Seattle at home as home
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: dogs up there in Seattle. I know it's a tough
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: place to play, So I'm gonna take Seattle. I took
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: Seattle both ways, similar reasons. I think the quarterback play
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: last week. I don't think they're gonna sustain that this week.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Tough to tell. It feels like that
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: was a really high of highs and now they're just
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: gonna come back down to reality. Yeah. I am going
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: to operate under the premise that Purdy is gonna play,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: and if he does, I will take San Francisco both ways. Wow,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: mister irrelevant makes the difference. Um, I'm gonna take San Francisco.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: I can't have the same faith in Josh Johnson. I'm
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: gonna take San Francisco. I'm gonna take the points though
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: division game, the hook, Yeah you got so. I'll take
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 1: the hook. But San Francisco's defense, you know they're gonna
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: get to Gina del Rio. All right, we have a
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: slight of Saturday games. Super said this week, Um, starting
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: one o'clock. These are all NFL network games unless they're
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: in your area. I think, right, is it the same rule?
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: But these are all on NFL network. I don't need
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: to do the fa COACTA no streaming, that's correct. These
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: are all on NFL network one o'clock, four, eight and one.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Colts are at the ten and three Vikings Minnesota by four.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: You would think by more, but no, Um, yeah, I
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: think Sharps know something. Sharps do know something. I'm gonna take.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Minnesota. Did you get three so they're
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: only favorite by one? Yeah, I'll take Minnesota all other points.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: I took Vikings both ways. I will take Minnesota to
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: bounce back from last week's debacle. Um, both ways. Are
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: you curious though about this spread? Why it's only four
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: Minnesota at home by in Minnesota? Yeah? I think people
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: have had questions. I know about the Jeff Saturday cults.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: That's why they're underdogs by four points. I would think
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: it'd be more, That's all I'm saying. I mean, with
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: the records, I think could be more. But I don't
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: think the teams are all that different. Okay, I really
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: don't all Right, one team has a much better record
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: in my turn. Yeah, Vikings both ways. Four thirty on
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: NFL That work. The nine and four Ravens are at
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: the five and eight Browns. Cleveland buy three three and
• 1:37:20

• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: feel gross. I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick Watson and
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: the Browns. Why do you feel gross? He's just a guy,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: just a feeling. Yeah, I'm like, I don't like picking
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: that got to win games. But yeah, all right, yeah
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: Cleveland both ways reluctantly. Yeah, I'm gonna take Cleveland both
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: ways too. I don't think Tyler Huntley is um. I
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: know he's practicing, but I think he's one sack away
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: from being out of the game. I could see the
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: two situation with this. He got lit up and had
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: a concussion and suddenly he's two days later, he's fine.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: I got Cleveland in this one. Yeah, happy endie for Cleveland. Jesus.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: Eight fifteen on the NFL Network. The eight and five
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: Dolphins are at the ten and three Bills. Big game,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: Baby Buffalo by seven? Come on, Bills, right, we're rooting
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: for the Bills in this game? Yeah, I think we are.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: And they're on a little AFC East revenge tour. Knocked
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: the Jets off, knocked the Patriots off. I think they're
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: gonna knock the Miami Dolphins off as well. I'm gonna
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: take Buffalo, and I think they're gonna win by by
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: more than a touchdown. I'm gonna lay the points. I
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: took Buffalo, but I gave Miami the points. Oh I
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: wrote that wrong. Sorry, what did you say? The number
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: was seven? Seven? No? Hey, huh no. Um, I'm gonna
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: take Buffalo both ways. Yeah. I mean some people might
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: fade this game, but I'm gonna I'm gonna go with
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: the Bills both ways as well. I think Dolphins are yeah,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit all right. Um, now
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: we move over to Sunday. So we got the three
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: Saturday game. Nice, Havn't you know how long is it
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: before the players band together and say no more Thursday games?
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: You know, this is not a type of sport where
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: you can play a game on Sunday and then play
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. I mean, who, who other than the league
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: really wants it? I mean I don't really see the
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: fans clamoring for it. Like I say that because I'll
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: take Saturday, you know, as a trade off. Especially as
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: a non college football fan. I'm happy to watch, can
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: care less about see you know. One o'clock, the five
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: and eight Falcons are at the four and nine Saints.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: Um yeah, because it went way down the list, hetlant
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: at New Orleans, New Orleans by four. Also, my son's
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: car is finally ready. I got good news, um man.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: Two teams not really going anywhere. U Hi, I'm gonna
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go New Orleans at home. I don't
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: really know why, but these teams are done. I'm gonna
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: go Atlanta both ways upset why not. I am gonna
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: play it down the middle. I'll take the Saints to win,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: but I will take the Desmond Riders to cover. Yeah,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: that's the way to go here, Uma, Sat Saints can
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: be tough at home, especially against their you know, Conference
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: A Division opponents, so you got to give them a
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: little there. But the Falcons I think are a better team.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't know. It's it's they're both.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: It's such a weird division this year. One o'clock, the
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: five and eight Steelers are at the five and eight Panthers.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: Panthers buy three showing a little juice here. I'm at
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: the point in the season though it's tough to tell,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: like who's left playing right? Who's playing for? What? You know?
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: Like that's why I was four night left spreading. I
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: can't control effort, right, you know what I'm saying. I
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: can't control effort. Tough, tough? Um, Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Pittsburgh on this one. Why not
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: under an underdog on the road. I don't think Caroline
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: is actually that good, but they're playing well. But I'm
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: gonna take Pittsburgh. I went to Pittsburgh as well, both ways.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: I am gonna take Pittsburgh too. I've heard. I've heard
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of Carolina is coming on Steve Wilks, so
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: you could get the job. Like when that starts happening
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: to bad teams and they start getting some attention to
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: steal Fred's frad I fade that team, So I will
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: take Pittsburgh. It got my attention. I'm going with Carolina.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: So the chief stands alone. I guess on this one. Huh,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: big Donold fan. Sunday at one, the twelve and one
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: Eagles are at the three and ten Bears, Philly by
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: noin noine on the road. I saw I saw like
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: an interesting stat that like Philly has lost like no
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: one to injury this year, Like I mean man games
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: lost or whatever that stat is, like they have just
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: had a great run of injury luck. I mean, it's
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: it's so huge in this league. I'm gonna take Philly
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna lay those nine points. They seem like
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: they're rolling Philly, Philly, I'm gonna take Uh. Do you
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: have any information on Justin Fields there? I think I
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: saw he practiced. Let's see see if I can. I'm
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: gonna take Philly both ways. Don't worry about it. I
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: got it. I'll take Philly both ways, all right, first
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: game back, he won't be ready to I don't think
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: they'll have him running around crazy coming off the injury. Anyway,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the points. What the hey, Um, yeah,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: he's off. Justin Fields is off the injury reporter. Yeah,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the points in this game. Uh. Sunday
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: at one the ten and three Chiefs are at the
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: one eleven and one Texans Tennessee Kansas City by fourteen
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: on the road. That's a lot of I feel bad
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: for the type the Texans. They they played a good
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: game last week and deserve to win. Yeah, that's that's
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: why I'm gonna take Kansas City. But I'm gonna take
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: all the fourteen points. I think there's a little a
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: little something Kansas City both ways. Yeah, I'm gonna take
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: Kansas City both ways too, because of what happened to
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: them last week. I will take Kansas City both ways
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: as well. Texans, that was it for them, Yeah, I
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: think they put a lot into the Texas. Yeah, you
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: know they're playing Dallas that you know, they're probably like
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: no one cares about the Texans in Texas, right, everybody
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: cares about the Cowboys, And they probably took that and
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: I took that personally. Speaking of the Cowboys, they're ten
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: and three one o'clock and they're going to the Jaguars
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: who are five and eight. Dallas by foe ooh, I'm
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: gonna take Dallas on the road. I know Jacksonville has
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: been playing better, but I think Dallas is good. Yeah,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: Tyron Smith back too. I give the wind to the Cowboys,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: but I gave Jacksonville the points. I am going to
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: do the same, and I really thought long and hard
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: about making this an upset special, but I think Dallas
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: may have been snapped into reality with how close it
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: was last week. They haven't played great. Yeah, I don't
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: think Dallas. You know, they lost a Green Bay a
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. They lose you know, they really
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: should have lost that game. But I'll take Dallas to
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: bounce back. I'll take the points. Yeah. I just think
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: they get at Trevor Lawrence. I think Cowboys both ways.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: It's a good point their pass rush. As much as
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: I would love to take the Jaguars, I can't do it.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: Sunday at one, six and seven, Lions are at the
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: seven and six Jets, Go Lions, Jets by one, Go Lions.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: It's a sneaky good game here, and I'm gonna go
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: with Dan Campbell and the Lions. I think they can
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: pull it off here. We'll see if if it's for real,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: manifest it Detroit both ways. Yeah, do they have any
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: update on Mike White. I don't know if Mike White
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: plays this game, I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: Jets because I can't. I don't have the luxury. But
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that Mike White plays. If he
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't play, I think Detroit will win will allow you
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: to change it. I will not change it. I will
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: stick with the Jets. I don't cheat. One thing the
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: Lions can do is score points. One thing the Jets
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: can do is play defense. So this is a sneaky
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: good game. But I think the Lions score points and
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: that's all you need to do with the Jets these days.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the Lions, not the Mike White Jets. Yea,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Lions. Now we move to four
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: or five. The four nine Cardinals, fresh off their spanking
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: from the Patriots, are at the three and ten home Broncos.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: The Broncos by three. Here's a game to not watch
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: on red zone. Paul, as we're watching the Patriots, I'm gonna,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm gonna go with Denver since they're
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, Broncos. Yeah, I mean I have to
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: pick the Broncos, two terrible teams. Yeah, but without Tyler Murray,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: I'll take Denver. Yeah. I think you chuck this for Broncos. Yeah. Um,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: four h five yo, So we're gonna skip over four
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: h five the Patriots and we're gonna move to four
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: twenty five. It's the seven and six Titans at these
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: seven and six Chargers. Who do we want to win
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: this game? Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee. Yeah, uh, I'm sorry the
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: lack by three? Wow? Yeah, you didn't care who wins
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: the AFC, self, bread, Someone's gotta win, man, But in
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: terms of wild card, there is no wild card coming
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: out of the AFC self. Okay, sugar man, I I
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: really I gotta go with the Chargers. I think they're
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: gonna win. Um, Tennessee has been kind of collapsing here. Um,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Chargers, even though I don't
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: want them to win. I take the Chargers as well. Yeah,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Chargers to I've seen Rabeill do
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: this so many times that I'm reluctant, you know when yeah,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: when everybody starts doubting them as when they come out.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: But I just don't think they have it this year. Yeah,
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win the division because the division
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: is so bad. But I'll take the Lack. I agree,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Lack. Four twenty five, the nine
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: and four Bengals are at the six and seven Buccaneers
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: Bengals by three and a half. Another one would love
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: to take Tampa here, but I can't. I think Cincinnati's
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: playing well. I'm gonna take them. We'm back and forth
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: on this one, but I'm gonna take Tampa Bay really wow, Okay, yeah,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: I will take Cincinnati, but I am going to take
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: the hook and Bucks will lose by a field goal.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: I am gonna take the Bengals both ways. Of course,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: I'm always rooting for Tom. But things do not look good.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: They do not look good down there eight twenty on Nbury. Sure,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: these seven and five and one Giants are at the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: seven five and one Commanders. This is the game the
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: Patriots were supposed to be in and got flexed out of,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: thank thankfully. Washington by four and a half. Washington, Yeah,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: I think unfortunately, little collapse here at the end for
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: the GM and but I'm gonna go with the Commanders.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: I just something about them. I don't know they're playing good.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: It's weird. I've been successfully picking the Commanders all season
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm not stopping now. So I will take Washington,
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: but I will take the points with the Giants. The
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: Giants seemed to last week, notwithstanding play close games that
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: they have no business being in. I think Washington's better
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: than the Giants. I'll take them to win. Paul has
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: the right play. You take the Commanders, but you take
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: the points. One thing we know, based on the amount
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: of times that Fred has told me I have the
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: right play, means my bad streak will will continue. Monday night,
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: the four and nine Rams are at the five and
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: eight Packer. Uh, the Packers by seven. Man, I'm not
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: believing in Baker Mayfield. I hope not the game they
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: might have thought it was when they made the schedule. Um,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Green Bay at home,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: Packers by seven. Yeah, i will take the Packers to
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: win the game, but I'll take the points the Rams.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: I thought they've played hard the last couple of weeks. Um,
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: with nothing to play for, I'll take the point. This
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: is a game, definitely. The Sharps know what they're doing here.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: You take the Packers both ways in this game because
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: this is a layout. I'm right nice, Okay, it makes
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: me feel a little bit at least like a one
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: coming back. Yet, now we go back to four h
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: five and the seven and six Patriots are at the
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: five and eight Raiders. So when I looked at this morning,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: had the Raiders by one. I'm seeing a lot of
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: Patriots by one in other places. But we're gonna go
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: Raiders by one because we're consistent. Yeah, I wish I
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: could pick the Patriots. I got a bad feeling about
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: this one. I just I think the Raiders are going
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: to come out and play really well. I don't think
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: the Patriots have a perfect game, and you know, a
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: game that where they kind of transcend their issues that
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's what it would take. I got Vegas
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: winning fairly easily. I would say thirty four to twenty.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you did with Mike fred Yeah,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: I wish I could pick the other on an explosion
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: of points. I looked at DraftKings when the Patriots were
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: had the advantage, but that you said, that's not what
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have. No, we're gonna go with the Raiders
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: by one. But I also saw the Patriots by one
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: on DraftKings today, So I believe I'm sadly, given the
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: state of our injury report right now, going to go
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: with Vegas both ways. Thirty four twenty seven. Well, I
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: am also taking the Raiders. I have twenty seven twenty three.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: If you could tell me the Patriots could get up
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: twenty seven thirty in that area, I think they they'll
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: win the game. I don't I don't know if the
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: Raiders will win a shootout going back and forth without
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: making the mistakes. But if the Patriots don't have that
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: kind of offensive game, I could see the Raiders getting
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: in the high twenties to thirty. So that's what I'm
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: going to expect. I can't predict a Patriots offensive explosion
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: without ever seeing it, and I haven't seen it for
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: fourteen weeks. So I'm going to take the Raiders. Yeah,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, you go out west, you know, extended stay,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: you win your first game, you know, can you win
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: two in a row on the road. You got a
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: factor in Josh McDaniels. He knows the Patriots. I think
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: that's a factor two. Fred he knows the Patriots, and
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: I think he hasn't lost the locker room yet. And
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's not just Josh, there's a
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: lot of other X pay coaches there. I think the
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: players know it's a big game for them and they're
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: gonna want to perform. I got to pick the Raiders
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: in this game. I have to pick the Raiders. Twenty
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: seven seventeen Raiders. Yeah, yeah, I feel I mean, I
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: just I wish, I wish it wasn't so, and I
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: hope I'm wrong, but I did. It's funny when Fred
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: goes through the whole thing and it's all pointing to
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: the East picking the Raiders. I just always assume he's
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: gonna say that said Patriots, you know they dig deep
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: and they win. Now, yeah, I mean like if I
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: if I if I thought the Patriots, you know, I
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: had a good chance, i'd pick them. They do have
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: the chance. I mean you, I mean, I don't know
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: about good chance, but they do have a chance. These
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: are two those are two terrible teams that but Arizona
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: and the Raiders are not good. But you always look
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: at the game like, okay, you know, the way I
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: look at it is neither team's gonna turn the ball
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: over or kill or beat themselves. And so given that,
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: I think the Raiders win. But like I didn't think
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: the Patriots had a chance to beat Buffalo, right right,
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: Like that's one No, no, I'm just saying that's one
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: that if you win, you're like, oh my god, no
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: one thought they had any shot to win that game. Sure,
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: I just I don't like we all we're all against
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: the page. I get. I get like that that trigger
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: in all four of us just pick the Raiders, and
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: you know, now it's gonna be like it was our
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: fault for us. We're either right or yeah, we help
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: the team. But you know, I like we talk about
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: I don't like the spot. You know, like either you know,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: I don't like the spot. I don't like the team.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like the players all that much.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: I don't like how team our team has been playing
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: the whole year. And you know, I just I don't like.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think that I don't like Max Crosby and
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, you know, you know, I just I mean,
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: it's it's not a good matchup. It's not a good man.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: It's probably the most talented and and if yeah, I
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: don't like having to rely on the other team playing
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: poor league, right, That's how I feel. I feel like,
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: if if the Raiders play a reasonably good game, I
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: think they win. Whereas you know, if the Colts played
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: a reasonably good game, a few weeks ago. They weren't
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: gonna win. With sam Ellen Gray at quarterback. They weren't
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: gonna win. They would have had to play exceptionally well.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: And hope the Patriots didn't, right, And if for the
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: Patriots to win, you feel like you need to see
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: something you haven't seen for three months to suddenly magically
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: appear out of them nowhere in the middle of the
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: desert after on you know, yeah, staying out there. I mean,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: if you're telling me, if you're telling me the Patriots
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: could possibly be in a track meet, Okay, well, yeah,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: because I because I think that the Raiders will make mistakes. Now,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: the counter of that is the Patriots haven't shown any
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: ability to win a shoot out either. But it's just
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: it's just for the defense. For the Patriots defense, it's
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough, especially if the
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: offense isn't keeping up. You know, if you fall behind
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: by ten in this game, I don't know well, And
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: and that's a I mean, that's a great point, Fred,
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: because I just wonder mentally where this team is at.
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think, like I said in during
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: the early part of the show, I hope that they
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: come out and show, you know, the fight and that
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: they're ready for this kind of game. But I have
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: the same kind of concerns if it starts going badly,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: how much? How many more games is this team going
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: to have any kind of fight when they get into it?
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: And the Raiders do get up in games? Yeah, it's
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: the team that can't come from behind against the team
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: that can't hold a lead, right, but who knows? Yeah,
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: so who wins? But if the Raiders get up like
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: with this offense, do you really see them being able
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: to do what other teams have done? That was almost
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: that was almost my key to the game. Spot the
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: Raiders of fifteen point lead. Yeah, I'm right where we're wanting.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: I hope we're all wrong. All right, that's gonna be
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: it for this edition of Patriots Unfiltered. Stay tuned for
