"The field so that part of it for me has been a little frustrating to watch. Watching the Patriots and Bailey zappy, is it zapier zap? We call them zappy. We're calling them zappy. You can call them. Just call them the best quarterback in football. But we got a young guy that comes in and right away on a third down, takes a shot up to Devon Devante Parker, who goes up and gets it and brings it down, right? And so there's some of these passes down the field that you're not seeing with some of these other guys, Aaron Rodgers, for example, there's a lot of the RPOs and just getting it out of his hand. And some of that's probably trust with receivers, but more down the field shots, man. That's why I'm hoping Jameis plays this week for us on Thursday night because you know he's going to put it down the field. Well, I radically you were a take the shots. I used to hate when the Patriots played you. Because you and Flacco were the two that you just three step drop, just chuck it down the sideline and I'm always the most scared of that as a fan. As if I've gambled on the other team or if I'm a fan, I just feel like there's three outcomes. Basically incompletion, completion or past interference, right? And you saw Baltimore just for 5 years there with Flacco where they were just like, let's keep let's keep going. Let's keep putting the pressure on. And I absolutely hated it. I don't know why the Chargers don't do that with Herbert. To me, if I could change anything in the NFL this season would be like, just run that offensive program. Let them fling it. Yeah. They had a game plan going in, where they were going to attack the guy opposite or sir tan last night and through a couple deep ones on him where they got the PIs, but there can be more of it. There can be more of the quarterback at the line seeing one on one coverage and being able to take advantage because some of these receivers are so impressive and so skilled coming out of college now. In the last 5 to ten years, that's been the crazy thing for me too to watch how skilled some of these guys are coming into the NFL NFL ready because it's a tough position to do that in more and more guys are making that jump easier every year. Well, you had you played with Parker. He's going to be open by 5 yards. He wants to have contact go up in the air and bang off people and go get the ball. Well, and you think we did the bears game and we just started talking about Justin Fields and what he threw to in college. And he really his receiving corps worse than it was in college, no disrespect to the guys he's throwing to, but the one I forgot about. I think Jameson Williams was on that team as well. At some point. But Smith and Jake but who they're saying, you know, is better than a lave and better than Wilson. The guys he was throwing to and the guys, the talent he was throwing against, there's so much separation. And I saw that with tua when he first got to Miami, you take the receivers he had at Alabama and their competition level. And there's just a different, this guy is open in the NFL than there is in college. And I think what some of these quarterbacks are struggling with, the young ones, especially as they get to the NFL. So you just did that bears game. And they don't have a lot of talent, obviously. And I'm more on the side of. I don't know if fields ever makes it as like a top 15 guy because call me nuts, but I love accuracy and completions. It's one of my, one of my thanks for quarterbacks.

"The targets are going to be there on high point phase down the sideline where he's trying to out jump a guy. How many times does Matt Jones really throw that ball to Devante Parker? I don't think it's going to be a hundred plus, right? So I'm not sure the yards will be there. The red zone production, I think, will be there. The threat of him being on the field, I think, is important just as a guy that has some reputation and as some gravity towards him in terms of how they structure your defense or your game plan against the Patriots. I think that will be key. And you mentioned his health, the one thing that he mentioned in many camp that I thought was interesting was about how much he's running like sprinting long distance type running hill running with the Patriots versus what he did with the Miami Dolphins. So my guess is, yes, this is partially just the Patriots program. And that's what they do. But I would also think that they probably got with Parker after the trade and got with his camp his trainers and stuff like that and said, hey, it's mostly been soft tissue stuff. It's mostly been hamstrings, things like that. Here's what we think that we could do to maybe help them stay on the field. Do you guys agree with this method? And I think they have a plan in place, at least hopefully, to be proactive about the fact that he is prone to hamstring poles and things of that nature. But rather than being reactive to it, which is obviously the way that you want to go. And any sport. Well, the other thing too to remember, we did this last year with hunter Henry and then he played a full season. And you've got to remember, not every team handles their medical staff differently and hunter Henry when he was asked at the end of the year about playing a full season. Attributed a lot of that to how the Patriots trading staff kind of shook up his regiment. Yeah. So just because the guy's injury prone in one place, especially like you said, when it's polls and things like that, might not be an issue elsewhere..

"I do wonder if he was maybe bench for a practice. You know, but a Belichick said that yesterday all the abscesses were excused. It wouldn't be the first time that Belichick sort of wasn't absolutely revealing to the media. So I'm not saying it's the case. I'm just wondering, you know, maybe build to teach Kendrick and some of the other newer guys that this is, this isn't the way we do things here. Maybe he was told to stay inside yesterday. And then he was back out there today, so I'm doing air guitar, you know, being as usual infectious self. It looks fine on the field, didn't stand out one way or the other, but good to have 84 back out there. He's one of those morale guys that you need on the field. Doing the Hollywood Hogan out there on the practice field. I'll say about born. It goes back to the Shanahan stuff. Let's not forget. Where was he before? He got to New England. Yep. And, you know, maybe that played a role. Maybe Belichick wanting to maybe move a little bit towards that offense and seeing how born fit in. Look, I am excited for Kendrick born this year. I am probably irrationally excited for Kendrick Bourne given that Devante Parker is now part of this team and, you know, he might not get as many looks or touches as I would hope. One thing that stood out to me, Greg, I want to ask you about born. I was reading our guy Mike Reese over the weekend. And he mentioned, you know, he's talking to born or whatever. And one of the things that born said, was that he was running, that the Patriots were using his running more. Could we see he's not the same size as deebo. He's not the same player, but could we see Kendrick Bourne getting some touches out of the backfield? Maybe even a little bit more than you might have thought, 'cause I thought some of that might have happened last year, but is that going to be more part of this offense?.

"Going to, you know, they trade no snaggle or then devonte Parker who we know is injury. History gets hurt week one. We're all going to be talking about the Aguilar Aguilar Aguilar. So I think they're going to stick with that group. Again, I think it's also a thing where it's early, right? And I agree with you, Parker does need the reps. I still think those for you need four good receivers to get through a season. And they have those for. Like, do you kill Harry's out of this right? I think Christian wilkerson as high as I was on him last year, like maybe he makes a team as a special teams guy. I don't think he's really a major factor at wide receiver, trade Nixon would have been cool, but we'll see what he does in camp, but it feels like he's got a long way to go. Yeah, so I think they stick with those four guys. Unless, again, like you said, Thornton starts really coming on strong here. And then it kind of becomes what happened last year with Sony Michelle and mongering Stevenson where we're madre had such a good camp. They had to get him on the field. It made Sony Michelle expendable. They moved him on the last year of his deal. Like to me, that's what has to happen for them to move on from Aguilar's Thornton has to have that kind of summer. It's really tough to see them move on from Aguilar in less Thornton is really coming on because you can not count on Devante Parker for it to play the entire season. Can't count on him and I think the worst part of the Devante Parker experience speaking to some people down in Miami reporters, especially down in Miami is he always comes out of the gate hot. He's always starts the season really strong and the only year, of course, as we all remember in 2019 is the only where he actually ended on a high note as well. With that game against Stephon Gilmore and the season finale, but for the most part what Devante Parker, he's great in September. He's a great September player and then a hamstring or an ankle or something usually the hamstring pops up on the injury report and then he's inconsistent throughout the rest of the year. They need to have a reliable backup plan for Devante Parker and if taekwon Thornton's already, then Nelson Aguilar is going to be that guy..

"The Boston pro sports and look it's a great time, right? The bruins marching towards the playoffs sell its external playoffs, Red Sox, season starting. There's a lot happening right now. The off season with football, we got the draft coming out. We still have a lot of free agents out there, akeem hicks, Trey flowers, honey badger, people are still out there, things can happen aside from all of that good information that you can get. You also get with a membership. A ton of video analysis that bedard does in the coach's film and bedard wrote about devonta Parker this week and broke down some film. Davis next. Oh, there you go. How about that? And you got direct access to him in weekly chats as well. Jackie treehorn has a question. Greg, is there a reason to think? Joe judge will be coaching wide receivers, as opposed to Troy Brown. So this was a question that came from my Devante Parker breakdown and I talked about the number one job for the wide receiver coach and I mentioned Joe judge and I wasn't, I wanted to answer this question just because I wasn't really thinking. I mean, I was more thinking about Parker. In my mind, I'm like, Joe judge was a wide receiver's coach. Last time he was here. But from what we know, the pieces that we know, Joe judge is probably going to coach quarterbacks or be involved with the quarterbacks. He might be from what I hear, Nick from the owners meetings, and we didn't talk about this last week. From what I heard. The scuttlebutt is Joe judge is going to be the pass game coordinator and Matt Patricia is going to be the run game coordinator. Offensive line, run game coordinator, Joe judge is going to be either quarterbacks or wide receivers slash pass game coordinator. So I just wanted to make that point to everybody and get that out there. Very interesting. Joe judge pass game coordinator. Patricia run game coordinator. I don't know how I feel about this. If somebody told you that ten years ago, or they say 6 or 7 years ago, they're going to be like, in 2023, you're going to have a second year first round quarterback. And guess what, Matt Patricia is going to be the run game coordinator Joe judge is going to be a pass game coordinator. You'd be like, what? Depending on what happens over the next week. I think next week, let's just kind of keep this in mind. I think drilling down on the offensive staff and Mac Jones. And I know Dan orlowski, we don't have enough time to get to it today, but in Alaska, he talked about how it's his biggest worry and the NFL's biggest concern this year is who is surrounding Mac Jones and I'll just say this. There have been quarterbacks in the past that have had to go through a lot of different change and have still been able to remain successful and take a step forward. Now, as Matt going to be one of those guys, I don't know. You know, that's more the anomaly. You would like to have a coaching staff and consistency and play calling and all of that stuff for a young quarterback..

"I don't know if they're all going to be number ones, but they're banged up. So what this does is it allows the Patriots. Let's say they like matchy. But they said to themselves, we don't want to rush him back. We don't want to lack any kind of development. We can draft somebody like matchy. We deal Nikhil Harry for a 5th round pick or a 6 round, whatever they do. We bring mechi in. And now we can cultivate him. We can grow him within the system. And by next year, now he's popping. And then you also have next year's draft that you can also address the wide receiver position if you feel the need to. So I think it keeps their options open. And Greg, you've done a really good job of addressing this in the past about Belichick and how, you know, the first 15, 16 years of his tenure in New England, he was always ahead. He was always ahead. He always had contingencies. He always knew what was happening in the future and to try to be ahead of the curve. And I think he's doing that with receivers, especially, especially if they draft a receiver or two over the next year or two. He's getting ahead of this and he's giving himself an staff some time to truly develop the young receiver that they bring in and they don't just throw them into the fire. So I think they're absolutely open to looking at drafting a receiver. Let's look at 2019, Greg. Devonta Parker, his best season as an NFL receiver. He had Ryan Fitzpatrick that year. He hasn't been necessarily great with what do you make of all of that? How much is on Parker? How much is on the quarterback situation? And one more thing I'll throw in there. That people might not be keenly aware of is not only look at the quarterback, but you look at the offensive coordinator position. And I've made this joke before I'll make it again. You know, when Brian Flores was head coach in Miami, he changed OCs like he changed his underwear. He went through Chad O'Shea. Then he went to Chan gailey. Then he went to the two offensive coordinator system. It was always all over the place. So when you look at Parker and you assess him, how much of that other stuff do you think affected him and maybe impacted his production? Well, I'll say this. I think that when I evaluate receivers, I'm not looking at production and things like that. I'm looking at, can he get open? Can he catch contested passes? How does he do after the catch? What's his route running like? And that doesn't really, it's not really affected by who the quarterback is. So I think his assessment, if he was coming off 2019, I wouldn't say anything different about devonta Parker. I mean, I do think he's a little slower. I mean, he's 29 with a lot of soft tissue injuries and that was one of the concerns I have a pretty good source with the dolphins and I asked him about Parker and he was he had a lot of praise for Parker, but the soft tissue injury stuff is real with him and I don't think he's quite as explosive as it used to be. The biggest thing I'll say about 2019.

"They're like this guy's good, then agal or becomes expendable. Because of the cost. But as of right now, as of today, I think Aguilar has a place on this team. And I think, you know, you and I have talked about it before that. I think that, and I don't blame the Patriots for taking this approach. I like it in we talked about it when they signed all those free agents last year. I'm a little bit worried how much it's going to mess in year one. It's normally better in year two. And I think that a guy like Aguilar stands a chance to be much better. I do think the arrival of devonte Parker. Helps Aguilar get some better matchups and things like that. But to me, Aguilar still, the outside speed element on this team. As of right now, that might change with the draft. And I think like you said, Kendrick Bourne is the more gadget, quick sort of sort of guy. But to me, I think as of right now, I think Parker and Aguilar are almost, if you go with two wide receivers, they're almost your quote unquote starting receivers because they're two different receivers. Aguilar is more of a deep guy. Devonte Parker is more of a power forward type of guy. Then all of a sudden you get born and Myers into the mix and, you know, so I agree with you. I like their mix. I still, I still think Aguilar has a place here. I think that they'll be able to move him around a little bit more to sort of take advantage of matchups and that sort of thing. But yeah, I think that I like the group that they have. They're all different. And it'll be interesting to see if they do anything in the draft to sort of accentuate that. Yeah, and of course, I didn't forget about Jacoby Myers. He's out there as well. He has proven himself as kind of a big bodied slot receiver somewhat. And I think when you have those four guys, if they can stay healthy, it is an interesting mix. You just brought up the draft, Greg, if you're Bill Belichick and you're looking at this roster right now and you're thinking, what are we going to do?.

"Way to bet all of your favorite sports, G money, we start with Devante Parker and I want to go question by question here, right? So let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Let's look at this analytically. Let's look at this from every aspect that we start with the deal itself. The Patriots trade a future third round pick. They could get Devante Parker, a 5th round pick in return. Your thoughts on the deal parameters and what the Patriots gave up here. Yeah, I thought, you know, look, basically what the Patriots gave up a future third. So next year's third is basically the equivalent of a fourth round pick this year. And they get a 5th back this year. I mean, really, you're talking about, I mean, they really got them for free, almost. I mean, there's not a huge difference. And I think when you talk about that compensation plus that Devante Parker is under contract for two more years at a very manageable salary at like $6 million a year. To me, it was a number one, it was a, it was a no brainer for the Patriots. I mean, I do kind of question and this is one question I didn't put down. I don't think, you know, why the dolphins would do this. Why would they, you know, basically allow the Patriots to get a starting caliber receiver, and we can debate on how good he is. But he's a starting caliber receiver. In your division, for not much compensation and it's not like you're saving a ton of money if you're the dolphins. So I think that you put all those aspects together. I mean, I like the deal overall for the Patriots, just the deal itself. It's kind of a no brainer. For me, I question it from a dolphin's perspective on exactly what are they doing? What's the aim here? And we'll probably get into that as we talk about Parker, the player. But yeah, I think it's a good deal for the Patriots. Yeah, I'm fine with it. I mean, I like the deal. I like it a lot just from the value standpoint..

"For other three hours that I'm sitting there. But just as a sports fan because you're not just a football fan, you are a sports fan. This is the greatest of all time on the biggest stage, we're turning after two years off. He's a year removed from a car accident which he nearly lost his leg. I'm not talking about Tiger. I'm just talking about incredible theater. Again, like I said to you earlier, if it's the back 9 on Sunday at Augusta and Tiger Woods is a shot off the lead. I'll have it on my TV. Until then, I don't need Thursday. Saturday. It's getting there. It's the process of getting there. That's the journey. It's the journey. I know that sounds cheesy, but that's what it is. No. It's not. You hate fun. You're not going to get it. I shouldn't have expected to get it. I just can't. I can't do it unless it's the end of the tournament. And there's real stakes. I just can't, I can't get up for it. I just can't. I understand people that like it. I just, I don't know. I can't figure it out. All right, Thursday, I'm actually going to run along with Alex, the Patriots draft board. So if you want me in the room, or you don't want me in the room, you can still figure out what you do in the draft on Thursday for our third mock draft of the year. Of the off season here, first one, we got, I think the first two did not go particularly well. It's going to go better. I'm going to take a different strategy on this. I'm going to let Alex for sure make the pick in the first round. I think Alex, you tend to stick more at 21 than I do. I'm like, we're getting out of here, right? There's nobody good left trade out of here. We got to take a pick at 21. And we have to be able to find somebody at 21 that's worth it. That's my goal in this draft in this mock draft. If it doesn't work out again, I'm going to be a little bit upset because we haven't been able to just stick at 21 and take a good player. So on Thursday, mock draft three live here on patriots pizza come see us then and you can tell us how awful or how good or whatever you want to do about running a draft board we are. And by the way, you're not allowed to get mad at me for making trades that are too convoluted, not after that eagle saints trade. That vindicated me. When I saw that trade and I saw all the draft picks exchanging hands, I was like, somebody smarter than me, that's better with Matt, is telling me if it's fair or not, and that's all I care about, right? Like I just don't care. They keep turning Carson Wentz in the first round picks. It's really impressive. Shout out to them for that. All right. All right, so we'll see you guys on Thursday mock draft three. We're looking forward to it so you guys then. And thanks so much for watching until then signing off for Alex barth I'm Evan Lazar. We'll see you next time, everybody..

"Even to Eric king, who ultimately transferred coming out of Miami and he met with the Patriots, Houston just had a massive culture shift. They were, you know, a fringe mid major team, not mid major, a group of 5 team. They're now moving to the big 12. They just had a great run. The other one, Evan, you're going to laugh at me. And this is maybe more next year than this year, but there's a couple of guys from this team in this draft coastal coastal Carolina. I love watching coastal now. This is sort of something that I like to do a little bit in the off season is watch teams whose schemes are just way ahead of the curve in college because more so when they add McDaniels, but even now, they'll probably dip into some of those college offenses to try to pull some things. It's not like they're going to reinvent their whole offense around a team like coastal. But coastal scheme wide open zone run based, obviously, but a lot of the things that they do at coastal is all the trends, right? That's like what all the nerds want everybody to do is what coastal's already doing. They're really ahead of the curve type of team and type of program. It's a really fun team, especially on offense to watch them play. So again, what I'm saying, like, and I know we're kind of off the rails here, but this is what we like. This is the best content on the show. And we get into the theory of how teams are built or how schemes are built. I think that's when we're really in our bag on this show. So there's, I think, three coasts, I'm trying to pull up. There's three coastal players in the draft here, Isaiah likely, who's a local kid, by the way. Jeffrey gunter, who's a day three edge rusher, I can't pronounce his name. They have a wide receiver who's supposed to go in the 7th round. Next year,.

"I mean, those are the two options that you have. My guess is though, is that Bill Belichick probably thinks that wide receivers don't matter to a degree. And things that all of it's overrated. But I do think that in today's game you need to keep up a little bit. Sure. Yeah, and again, it's some of it's the way the board falls too, right? You know, just because you take a wide receiver in the first round, doesn't mean he's going to be that guy. Right. And I don't know what the momentum they built last year. I don't know that this team can afford another Nikhil Harry situation, where they can afford to miss. So let's say they like a lobby, they like Williams, those guys are gone. Should they force John Dodson if they don't believe in them? Just to get that guy. That's again, right? That's the benefit of the Devante Parker trade to me. Is that if you're not a 100% convinced that the guy that you have are thinking about taking is going to pan out for you and I know you're never a 100% convinced, but you know what I mean? If you're not really confident about it, now they don't have to reach on a wide receiver because they have enough NFL talent on the Ross or to not have to reach. But if Jameson Williams is there and Chris alava is there, if you get into the second round and you're on the clock at 54 and sky more is there or you feel great about John metchie and his health and his evaluation. Now you can find the right marriage between the board and what you're looking for and line those things up, but you got to take some stabs. You can't just sit back and not do not do it at all. It doesn't have to be in the first round, but you've got to start to take some bites at the apple here. So again, and I agree with you. But there's a fine line between that and it's just forced like picking players for the sake of picking them without going off the evaluation. That's why you get and I think day two early on day three is the spot to go. And for all of their issues with receivers, big picture, they've been okay with slot guys. Granted a lot of them were undrafted, but they Edelman's, I guess his own thing. If you want.

"The idea of because I've talked about this before like they would run matchy just vertically out of the slot at Alabama and Mac was great with that. Mac was great, 'cause it's covered differently. It's a little more maneuverable as a quarterback. Take Nelson Aguilar, put him in the slot inside devonta Parker, have Parker use his size to come over the mid like this is, you know, kind of a basic example, but Parker slants over the middle, that clears out you shoot Nelson agler up the scene like that, like that's the kind of stuff they're doing at Alabama, goes big receivers come over the middle and use their size and traffic, you take the quick receiver, you run them up the hashes where he's dealing with a slot corner of safety, not a boundary corner, like that's where max success at Alabama cut came from. It's where two are like, that's the Alabama offense. That's when they're at their best. That's what they're doing. They didn't really have that option in the slot. Myers a good slot receiver, but he doesn't have the speed. He doesn't have the speed to play that way. If Nelson Aguilar can start taking some snaps out of the spot out of the slot, that could be big. That could really change the way things move. Yeah, because I think a lot of us make sense. No, yeah, I think a lot of us have been this is where I was going with the next honestly. I wanted to talk about Nikhil Harry too, which we'll get here in a second, but this speed slot role that Nelson Aguilar could potentially play now that they have a true outside guy on the boundary and he doesn't have to do that. It's a big part of this trade in my mind as well because like you said, if you watch Alabama, whether it was waddle, a smithy, whoever it was, Matt Jones had to have had, I don't know the exact number. I mean, 50 plus completions off of over routes, right? Crossing routes going over the middle of the field. And like you said, it's a different route because what you're doing really is you're attacking the safety in the middle of the field. And you're trying to stretch. A lot of teams will play it single high, especially against teams that run the ball well, and you get that over route going against a single high safety, and you can run into a big pocket of space on the other side of the safety. And that's a big part of that offense. When you look at it and you say, okay, well, why does throw that ball well? That route, as much as it's not the timing Julian Edelman Wes Welker option route over the middle, you have to pace it out, right? Because the receiver is moving from left to right. And you have to be able to hit the spot with the ball. You have to be able to throw it to the landmark that coal receiver and quarterback are on. So that timing and accuracy is really important in order to make that route work..

"If you don't have a box safety or a linebacker that can run with tight ends, if you don't have an inside defender that can hang with two good slot receivers and born and Myers, they might not have the best receiving core on paper. They might not have tyreek hill, they might not have devonte Adams, but they have a bunch of different guys that can do different things and are good in different ways. And I think that that's kind of what they're going for here with this Devante Parker trade. On the one hand, I do have reservations because he's not that route runner that we've seen work here in the past. This is not Julian Edelman. This is not less Welker's is not Deion branch even, right? This is a true big outside receiver that wins at the catch point. That's not typically what they do well. And you mentioned that 2019 season with Ryan Fitzpatrick, the one difference I would say, I would agree that Mac is obviously a better quarterback than Ryan Fitzpatrick. But Ryan Fitzpatrick is a Yolo quarterback. He's somebody that is a gunslinger, that's gonna be willing to throw those jump balls down the field. And willing to push the football outside the numbers. Is that going to ever be a high volume role in this offense? Does Mac Jones gonna give a guy like devonta Parker 40 contestant targets a year? Because that's how you produce in that role is if you have volume and then you turn that volume into a 50, 55% catch rate and now all of a sudden you have good numbers. Is that ever going to be a big enough role in their offense or are they really looking at Parker as more of a niche guy that when they wanted to use that role when they get that one on one backside when they are in the red zone potentially down by the goal line they want to throw them a fade or have them box out in tight quarters is he more of a niche guy or is he a volume guy for the Patriots moving forward? I think is something that remains to be seen with this trade..

"You know, Lou Jordan Humphrey isn't gonna get the release Devante Parker did. So I think if the states really wanted to commit to that, bill would just put 7 in the box, play one on one man across the board and force Taysom Hill to put the ball in the window. Because he's not going to do that. At least not regularly enough to score touchdowns, right? You're going to end up picking them off or sacking him or whatever, like. It's still more effective in bursts than it isn't a long term. If I'm the saints and I look at this matchup, especially if I look at what Belichick did Zach Wilson last week, I worry about Jameis because Jameis can be a turnover machine. Even in that everybody said, oh, Jameis is he's less aggressive now, right? He's learning from his not really. That game against Carolina last week was the same old jamis, right? I mean, throw it up to arm punts to the defense, to interceptions that looked like that interception that Devin mccordy had on Zach Wilson last week, right? Right. Nobody around him. Throw it up in the air and have the defense catch it and return it like it's a pun..

"I think this office is going to be something. We're glad we have pieces of in time. I just think they're September. Onboarding could be kind of slow. I think they could be maybe at two and 21 and three teen To start the season because back isn't really in sync yet. The offensive line isn't where they want it. It's going to take some time to get that offense clicking on all someone you mentioned McLaurin. I'm gonna ask you about him real quickly. I think I asked you about fits maybe last week. Brian Fitzpatrick is such an interesting one, because I don't know that I've ever thought to chart how often a quarterback throws to their their a receiver, their number one guy, but that's something you can do with fits because he's been to so many different teams, so Um, it won. Do You know that to be true, and is Ryan Fitzpatrick worth streaming this year? If you can stream him at quarterback? My guess is he'll put up numbers like he has the last few years. He's been getting better with age. Yeah, I'm interested in Fitzpatrick. The only one thing I will say is, if you're in the league like I dropped the league last night where we just we pick every there's 20 teams. We all picked 20 players, but there's no transactions. And in that league I was a little leery on picking Fitzpatrick only because I think if he does slump Is, of course 39 remember? Hi. Nikki played pretty well at the end of last season. They signed him. To not an insignificant contract. So I think if Fitzpatrick were, of course, have an injury issues at 39, which is always a concern, or if you have any kind of a slump, I don't think will be a quick hook with him. I can see a case for maybe we, You know Washington's disappointing year or Fitzpatrick really hit the skids in the middle of the year. Maybe we'll see. Hi, Nicky. Um, again. I thought he was, interestingly, the one quarterback that I thought was interesting last year. It's certainly Alan wasn't good. Haskins wasn't good. The Alex Um come back was wonderful, but he was really didn't have a lot left. But I think Fitzpatrick. I would I don't. I don't have hard data that can point to, But I think your your instinct on him being good for his number One receiver is certainly correct. Remember, He's the guy who got Devante Parker's career going in Miami and also remember this from McLaurin. They brought over Curtis Samuel and he was going to be another kind of malt the feet and eventually he will be. But he said just about everything go wrong. He stops and starts in the summer. He had another injury pop up this week. Not sure he's going to be ready to go. So McLaurin is finally going to get. I think a heavy target share that he's been deserving probably for three years, and Fitzpatrick doesn't need you to be open to throw him the ball. He'll throw you some of those YOLO balls. You only live once he's going to throw some of those two McLaurin say, make a play area and you're not really open here. But I think you can Help maneuver you can high point the ball, whatever it is, so I think McLaurin who's already been plenty good. I drafted him proactively. If you still have a draft, I would third round auto pick for me. Even in late second round if everybody who I wanted if you like the DK back after the world were gone, the Justin Jefferson of the world were gone. The AJ Brown's of He's another guy you worry about with injury and also Julio Jones. Tennessee is kind of a fascinating team, but I think the WFP wins that division. I think McLaurin has his best year yet I'm a big Antonio Gibson fan. Even the Logan Thomas Loss of blatant his career and his 30 B 38 shortly, so it's aged 30 season. I still think he's one of the top 10 tight ends. It's going to be a fun team. I'm looking forward to watching that team all year..

"Kobe burset, was brought in as the back up. But, you know, he's not really a threat to win a whole lot of games, if it doesn't work out with two is so they, you know, they're putting all their chips onto a home and I think that that might be a little bit of trouble. Now, look, he's going to have a lot to throw to. He's got DeVante Parker, get sick. He's a good tight end. They brought in will Fuller and drafted Jaylen waddle. So there is Talent there depends on how much you believe in will Fuller. I don't believe in will Fuller very much. Just his hamstring is bound to pop at some point and he'll be down for three or four games. He's all about Suspended per week. One for Peds. He has not played more than 11 games since his rookie season. That's a lot to bet on that guy. I will say ninja about the Dolphins. I think their defense is excellent. Even with Josh Boyer as the defensive coordinator there, who I'm not, the biggest fan of that, there's a lot of Talent on that defense on all three levels. They are a little bit leaky against the run and I think the Patriots stealing Davon godchaux from them was key and you know, might weaken them a little bit. But the offensive line in basically we're going to say it for almost all three of these other teams. And this is where I think the Patriots have a big Advantage. I think that they, if you look at all the teams in the division and you stacked them all up, you would say the Patriots are far and above the best offensive line. And now with all the, all the changes they made in the offseason. Yep. Might be the best up front on the defensive line and if you believe in that and I do, that's a good sign for the Patriots cuz I don't think the Dolphins offensive line is very good..

"Then I, I've talked about this since back to free agency since the draft, they don't have enough outside corners. If Gilmore walks, when you face the bills, one of your, you know, one of your starting outside corners is dead. Either Chauhan Williams. Jalen Mills, or Michael Jackson. And I'm not saying those guys can't be good players. I'm saying, we don't know if they are and I said the bills. The Dolphins are weak one. So when you go up against that receive or yeah, DeVante Parker you got Jaylen waddle, you got these guys coming out. You, we want you want. You want you on Williams on Davante? Parker week? One, that's the question, right? And I know they have Joe Jackson. We're going to get to him in a second to hang on. Cuz somebody in the chat said we saw the Patriots Malcolm Moore last year, they had Jason McCourty. If they still got Jason McCourty, it's another conversation. Jason McCourty played 65% of the Patriots defensive snaps last year. He has gone. They didn't bring anybody else in. That's a true outside corner. So that's 65% of snaps. You have to replace in house and I just went off in house options. There is no Jason McCourty in those options. There is no sure thing in those options, you can like, John Williams upside and there is something to like there, but he's unproven, you don't know for sure. And you don't Reserve. I have an insurance plan. The Patriots needs to find Gilmore more than he needs the Patriots, right? So I put up the stat on Twitter earlier today of the Patriots defense with, and without Stephon Gilmore in 2012. And I know that there are some sort of caveats of this, right? First of all, much different front, seven this year compared to last year. So that's going to make life easier on the secondary. I get all that, but last year with Stephon Gilmore, the Patriots allowed, a passer rating of 80.2, which would have been top ten if that had been the entire year. Without Stephon Gilmore, their passer rating, clamp to over a hundred, right. So you're also seeing last year they gave up a touchdown rate of a TD, every six point, like five, percentage of points of throws without with life on Gilmore that dropped 3%. So this is a player that statistically makes a huge impact on this defense. And furthermore, when you watch the tape of this team, You see in Devin McCourty, said this in 2019, when Gilmore was having his Defensive Player of the Year campaign, it all starts with death and what he meant by that was sung, watch the way that they play. They play so much single Hai man-to-man. They play more single Hai man-to-man than just about any team in the league. And if you're going to only play with one deep safety, in the middle of the page, you are going to have to live with the fact that you're outside corners are more or less on the island you have posed, safety help. But for the most part, your one-on-one with your guy out there, and as we walk through the gauntlet of the season and starting a week long with DeVante Parker and Jaylen waddle, if you don't have a lockdown, number one corner in that type of coverage system. Your quarters are going to get exposed, so yeah, the Patriots can change the way that they play. Maybe they play a little bit more off manners, do nor too deep or something like that. To mitigate the fat to Stephon Gilmore is not out there, but if they want to play a game Our bread-and-butter cover one Robber with a one high safety, put another guy in the Box to stop the run, or rush the passer, or do whatever they want to do with them..

Tua Tagovailoa vs. Belichick's Defense: A Challenge
"Get into the Dolphins. Now we have to start with to Greg. I watched him last week and I see a number of very good things from him, you know, the answer the anticipatory throws is great anticipation is accurate and he's really smart and you know football IQ is through the roof when you see him, he's diagnosing what the defense is doing and the first time around you might surprise him. It's very difficult to surprise in the second or third time around very smart guy doesn't have the strongest arm in the world, but he can move around in the pocket a little bit and he's got enough Armstrong. Had a downfield but I mostly pay attention to his accuracy his anticipation in his intelligence. I think that's what would separate too from some of the other younger quarterbacks that we've seen come into the league and so it's fascinating Greg this matchup. I remember we talked about the Justin Herbert matchup Belichick's record his resume against rookie quarterbacks or even just your quarterbacks first time in so we're going to have to who was very football Savvy and has a high football iQ going against Bill Belichick who of course has the Mind against rookie quarterbacks wage. What do you make of to his game in? What do you think the Patriots will try to do on Sunday to Rattle him. I'm looking at I thought you did a great job with your Scouting Report. I thought you know what I agreed on all those points, especially, you know, I think where he shows off to me is the football like you he he sometimes he will hang on to a play a little bit too long. I think that's probably a place. Where they've been working with him, he did that a couple of times against Kansas City, you know, but largely had a feel for what's going on. He knows how to get rid of the ball. I think Chan gailey's done a real nice job with him sort of slowly bringing him along and you know, yes, everybody's going to talk about Bill Belichick and his record against rookie quarterbacks, you know, but one thing you have to keep in my practice, you know, this is this is a rookie quarterback with Brian Flores, you know next to him who's so I assume Brian all week is showing him all Patriots film and say look, this is what they're going to do to you. This is this is what we would do to everybody. These are going to be the calls whatever you see don't trust your eyes before the snap. There's always going to be somebody dropping there's going to be they're going to be doing this song. I think that's going to be a huge asset for them. I think that Ted Karras at Center is going to be a huge asset for them cuz he knows how the Patriots, you know like to pressure cuz he's been here for so long. The Patriots know his weaknesses. Teddy's a pretty good pass protector. He struggles more in the Run game. But I do think you'll see the Patriots try to try to get him to move his feet side-to-side off a little bit slow. So I think you know targeting him with some t e stunts inside and things like that might generate some pressure. But yeah, I think I think that too is pretty good job to see if guys like DeVante Parker and get sick e who who, you know, we're beat up in the last game, you know, whether they'll be able to play because your talent talking about some really talented guys there. I mean God, I can't believe how far gesicki the tight end has come and I know Belichick basically called him a big wide receiver this week, which I think is accurate but he's damn good at what he does in a mash-up. Yeah and the one question and you know, we'll get into our picks and a little bit before we get this n'keal Harry thing you want to talk about and of course we still have the member question of the day on this pod. But you know the weapons right for Miami, we we talked about the weapons about the Patriots all the time. But when you look at the weapons of Miami, I think last week I saw something that too was down at one point in that game. He was down his top six receivers. So including Titan including tight end. So if you know if Grant is out if Parker is out if they're just you know off 60% if you know kasicki is out Myles Gaskin was on the covid-19 this last weekend, that's their guy who they've been running the football with what is it Ahmed salvano salvano, may I forget which way it goes his name, but he's the other running back on the roster. He's been dinged up. So this is a team if they're banged up. I don't know what they can do offensively. I mean, I like to a long shot, but the one thing that jumped out at me watching that Kansas City game and maybe it's just because Kansas City is so full of explosiveness and speed but the one thing that jumped out at me watching the Dolphins offense It's Not Dead. Dynamic like say they don't have explosion and DeVante Parker could be that guy at times but he's been banged up. He's got a hammy so I don't know if he's going to play but they lack if there's one thing they need to add immediately to that Miami offense to help to a is somebody who can be
