00:00It sounds like they're giving him more reps than normal

00:02They're still not fully sold on Jacoby Brissette, and it's a pretty aggressive plan for Drake May

00:07So if you are like that texter hey unlock the passing game get May in there I?

00:12Still think that's right around the corner assuming they hit a rough patch at any point well

00:17I kind of read it now as maybe the win-loss record doesn't matter as much like maybe they could be a decent team

00:23And they still make the change you know who did that the Dolphins right?

00:27With two and Fitzpatrick or it's kind of butchered that and then you know Fitzpatrick won a couple games later went to Tua then they

00:33Kind of yo-yoed over there some injuries and that really did become quite a bit of a mess

00:37But we don't know exactly what the plan is but they've always referenced this plan that they have for Drake May and maybe it was

00:43Just hey, we're gonna get him ready

00:44We're gonna get him ready during the season as well, and if the rest of the team

00:48I think that's also an important piece if the offensive line isn't a disaster and at least through one week

00:52It wasn't a disaster and Ramadri Stevenson looks great

00:56If you can maybe get some of the other skill guys to play a little bit better

00:59You know you have a good defense

01:01So you're not just throwing them out there into the worst situation in the league which before the year started

01:07It was in the mix it was like

01:08But if you compared their performance as an overall team to Carolina the Giants and some of the other things we saw on Sunday

01:15They're above them. They're better than those teams, so maybe they're like hey Jacoby percent. You can play well

01:21Maybe in your scenario, maybe they're three and two after five games

01:25They could still make the switch. I thought oh my god. They keep winning. That's gonna kind of postpone it now

01:29I'm not so sure if he's getting that many reps

01:31I think they might have a plan like we think we can get him ready for week six

01:35Because they don't have to worry about percent lighting the world on fire

01:38Percent like we're all applauding percent cuz he threw for 120 yards

01:42It didn't turn it over like that is such an insanely low bar, and he's lucky

01:46He didn't turn it over, and he's not Mac Jones right so that is a big bonus

01:49But if he plays like that, and they win these close games the Patriots know Gerard Mayo

01:55You know he's a defensive guy and Alex van Pelt even though. He's a run guy. He knows that

02:00They drafted this guy third overall you do need to be able to throw it even if it's Drake Mayhem in the ball off a

02:05Lot you need that threat to pass you think if they're three and two they could still make the change

02:09I'd so I I would love to believe that I don't believe that if they're three and two and they're winning games

02:14They'll keep their hands at ten and two and they will leave Jacoby Brissett in there
