00:00you want a silver lining, you want a potential bright spot, it's time to go to Drake Bay.

00:05Really?

00:06It's 10 days.

00:07Really?

00:07I know it's the Niners, it's time.

00:11Part of the reason the team looked so bad last night

00:14is they knew they had no chance once the Jets were rolled.

00:16They couldn't keep up.

00:17There was no answer.

00:18Offensively, you weren't going to get first downs.

00:20You weren't going to make plays.

00:22You were just going to beat Jacoby Brissett into a pulp.

00:25I will play Mayo here in a moment.

00:26I want your thoughts first, but Mayo made it pretty clear to me.

00:30The door is open.

00:30He's going to speak at 11 o'clock.

00:32I think we'll go to the podium live to hear from him,

00:34just in case there's any updates there.

00:35He made it pretty clear the door is open.

00:37Brissett didn't sound thrilled after the game.

00:40May made it clear he's ready if the Patriots are going to make the switch.

00:44Now's the time.

00:44We were all thinking week five or week six at home.

00:46You have 10 days to get Drake May in there,

00:49and I think that's the one big thing that we're going to be debating, discussing.

00:54We have already been discussing.

00:55Oh, for sure.

00:56We're going to be doing that all week going into the Niners,

00:58and I think the right move is to do it now.

01:00You think play Drake May?

01:01Yeah.

01:02What if he gets tackled?

01:04Jones, what if he gets hit?

01:06He did last night.

01:06What if he goes on the football field and gets bumped by somebody?

01:09Yeah, well, it would be the first time in the history of the sport.

01:11Like, I hate this, and we'll get into it as the show goes on,

01:13but there's a lot of people that are, and maybe some of you, and that's fine.

01:16We can talk it out, and you guys can call in, but the,

01:19oh my God, he's going to get killed.

01:20You can't play him.

01:21It's football.

01:22It's football.

01:23Guys get hit.

01:24They're also, they can't get Joe Theismann anymore.

01:27You can't grab a quarterback's head, twist it around, and have it not be a penalty.

01:30You can't dive into their knees.

01:32Guys get hit.

01:33Everyone's going to show the one replay from last night where a guy was on his legs.

01:37He looted him, and then he got like speared or like rock-bottomed or whatever.

01:40Guess what?

01:40He hopped back up.

01:41He kept going.

01:42He had the one semi-functional drive they had all night.

01:45So of course I want to play Drake May.

01:47I think it's comical that people don't.

01:49I think it's comical that people are like, oh my God, if he gets hit,

01:52he'll never be a good quarterback ever.

01:54It'll break him.

01:54He'll get physically, mentally, and emotionally.

01:56He won't be able to take it.

01:58Well, then all right, then.

01:58Maybe he's just not that good.

01:59I say play him.

02:00The rest of the guys on the team, as untalented as many of them are, still deserve to have

02:06the best chance to win.

02:07It's one, you're one and two, right?

02:09You'll put them out there early.

02:10You don't need to drag this out any longer.

02:12You and I both wanted him out there week one.

02:15For whoever, Elliott Wolfe or Alex Van Pelt made the decision to go with Percet.

02:19So fine, you have Percet for three games.

02:21Not even all of three games, right?

02:23Drake May comes in, makes his debut week two, or I'm sorry, week three.

02:27Josh Allen made his debut week one, his first start week two.

02:30Justin Herbert made his first start week two.

02:32And those guys never looked back.

02:34And so I would absolutely go with Drake May.

02:37And I also don't think the Niners are this 85 Bears, 2,000 Ravens.

02:42They just lost to Sam Darnold.

02:43Yeah, yeah.

02:43So before the season began, that looks a little bit more daunting than it is.

02:47It's also the mini bye week, if you will.

02:49So it's the perfect time to go from 30% of reps to 100% of reps.

02:53A couple extra practices.

02:54I think it's a no-brainer.

02:56He should start week four.
