00:00this was my lead this morning about will levis and like you go back to his his rookie season he

00:06played in he started nine games took over for ryan tannahill who's not a career backup ryan

00:11played behind ryan tannahill for a considerable amount of time for like eight weeks yeah okay

00:18he also wasn't a first round pick the argument the argument might be that that it's very similar

00:24but who would you rather have ryan tannahill or jacoby percet honestly i'd rather have ryan

00:29tannahill okay and available by the way yes and chimes right he um and cordy was kind of spot on

00:35with it uh will levis was a second round pick and drake may is the third overall pick i would ask

00:41all these but hold on can i just finish because they decided to go with him he gets hurt now

00:45and he has mason rudolph who seems like he can take care of business and help the titans maybe

00:50get a few wins under his belt because he has more experience than will levis and he has a coach

00:55that's saying no will levis is our future we're going to go with him if he's healthy because we

00:59want to know what yes can be well i would ask all those people out there who don't want to see drake

01:04may because they're afraid something's going to happen then they disagree with gerard mayo and

01:10gerard make it mayo making him the backup because i asked gerard mayo this on monday um i worded it a

01:16little bit differently so i didn't really jump down his throat i know i'm still got to work on

01:21my puff puff questions i asked mayo hypothetically if something was to happen with joe colby brissett

01:30do you have confidence in drake may and he said that's why he's the backup yeah so i would ask

01:36all these people what happened what do you your recommendation then if if brissett gets hurt

01:42you would say don't put percent in the game well listen i didn't play the game you did

01:46yes matt chadham did yeah rob ninkovich did they did so i mean we have as much experience

01:52on the offensive side of the nfl as matt chadham does nailed it are you able and i'm an offensive

01:58guy are you able to see enough about what drake may could be when you when when he's a guy who's

02:05getting 30 of the reps in practice no no i you know when i get to see what drake may could be

02:12is when he actually starts playing in games stop playing in games when this when the situation's

02:19not controlled and practice everything's controlled so how he is in practice is irrelevant yeah because

02:23everything the the practices are not controlled i mean the practices are controlled real games

02:28are not controlled i would put him in and i said this the reason why here's my pros to why i play

02:36drake may this year for all these people who say don't play him and i'm gonna listen i wasn't a

02:42quarterback in the league matty ice was matt ryan and the reason i would play him is because

02:50he gets all this experience and then you know what it does for me next year excuse me from the front

02:56office standpoint it allows me to look and go what do i need to put around him for year number two

03:02do i need a veteran office isn't that clear you need and you need uh an offensive lineman right

03:08but do i need a veteran or do i get a draft one maybe maybe i could say okay i can get a veteran

03:14offensive lineman and draft a high wide receiver or maybe i could go veteran offensive lineman and

03:20draft the pass rush and you're not going to know that until you see what he actually is right in

03:25game you're either getting better or you're getting worse you're either building something

03:30or you're taking it down and the patriots by not placing the next quarterback in actual game

03:38action are punting the future they're waiting to see what they have because they're afraid of what

03:44they will see with what they've built around him when the whole purpose of taking a quarterback in

03:49the top five is that you believe they will elevate a roster that was bad enough to be

03:53drafting in the top five in the first place text from rhode island where we will be friday for a

03:59flex friday road show at the audrain automobile museum in newport for you curtis and for you wiggy

04:07which says tom brady the goat uh-huh said sit him he did not what what the wtf more do you need he

04:15did not he said when asked about this that they have dumbed down the offenses so as to get these

04:23guys to play sooner and he prefers the time where they actually learned the offense and had practice

04:29and were able to get experience but he said the nfl has changed but isn't that what they're doing

04:35theoretically with drake may is giving him that time to learn the alex van pelt offense what is it

04:42step back and throw the ball doesn't look very complicated right and if it's actually step back

04:48ignore a couple wide open receivers and and then take a side and take a sack right but to brady

04:54and maybe one strip sack oh yes but to break all on your own fumble to brady's point if they dumped

04:59it down then they made it easier for guys to play right away because if the offense is dumbed down

05:04then guess what it's easier for you to play right away yeah this is nate morning nate hey good

05:12morning guys what's up hey i don't want you guys to to see disappointed i think when mayo says

05:19the plan i really think that the plan is to sit this guy the whole season i mean you got i know

05:26it's shocking but so you're not gonna see other than what you saw in the jets game and a similar

05:33four minute experiment you're not gonna you don't think you're gonna see drake may this entire

05:38season you're not gonna see him start a football game yes i agree greg i think honestly i put my

05:44money that you're gonna see joe milton first before you actually see drake may oh okay and

05:48get back get the backup more quick i i know it's a better shot of me replacing joe castiglione

05:53well because joe milton would have gone in instead of drake may in the jets he also would

05:57be named the backup if you're gonna see so you're not gonna see joe milton you're never gonna see

06:00joe milton gets hurt drake so this is good like i said well this is going to be the last step for

06:06jacoby and i think he's going to go off to the sunset and honestly like i said i think they're

06:11going off the numbers based upon throwing a guy in with this with with what you have for a team

06:15like this the percentage is going to show you that they're going to that person's going to fail

06:18and they're not going to make it on the first team that's what it's showing so i think they're

06:22really going to take their time with especially elliot wolf and they don't want to go down the

06:26mac jones route and then he gets burnt out and he goes on to another team wow here's here's why

06:32you play drake may because if you if drake may goes out there and courtney brought this up and

06:37she asked mailed this and she was spot on if he goes out there and he looks good with jaylen polk

06:44for say for example now when the draft comes along and let's say you have another top three pick you

06:52then can go oh we don't need a wide receiver we're going to o-line let's go to o-line yeah

06:58right or so so then or if you go out there and you go oh drake may looks good but he still

07:04needs a legit number one then you go we'll take a wide receiver and we'll get a free agent offensive

07:10lineman right because you'll be able to see all those things based on how he performs during

07:16during this season when he plays when you're sitting him on the bench now what are you doing

07:21going into next season are you saying we take a tackle at number two or three or one or wherever

07:27you end up or i think there's a danger that this is for the patriots a winnable football game

07:34because the dolphins are in disarray absolutely winnable yeah like one of the so that worst teams

07:39of football all that does is delay the arrival of drake may or put him in a in a situation where

07:46he could succeed what a boost of confidence that would be if a rookie quarterback got away yes that

07:52that would be what i would like them to do what i'm saying is that they win this football game

07:57then they're going to look at jacoby brissett and be like all right we can win football games with

08:01him as our quarterback and uh it's going to just delay i just you know you took him with the third

08:08pick in the nfl draft right he should be playing football right he should be starting for your

08:14football team and you're one in three right like i mean like why would a fan of this team

08:22want to keep watching what we've seen the first four weeks it's not a lot of unless you're a real

08:27fan like i watch no i think being a real fan is telling them they suck and turning them off when

08:31they're awful why doesn't the rest of the why aren't all the analysts the experts the boomers

08:38the nincos the chadhams all these other guys why where were they

08:45why weren't they standing on their soapbox saying don't play caleb williams don't play jayden

08:50daniels don't play drake may i think they're gonna don't play jj mccartney don't play bow

08:55necks i think their argument is gonna be that this offensive line is so bad yeah but those

09:00offensive lines weren't good you got the offensive line sucks you got david andrews considering it

09:05seems like surgery no but i'm saying so that's so that done finished right like that's they the

09:13one hope that you had on that line done finished for the season but greg i'm saying going into the

09:19season you had a better offensive pff rating offensive line going into the season than

09:25washington the bears offensive line wasn't that great denver's offensive line wasn't that great

09:30minnesota where were these guys saying don't put these guys in yeah let them sit here hello joe

09:38good morning good morning hey i just want to agree with the last caller i don't i don't think we're

09:43going to see drake may and the reason being is i think mayo is trying to establish his own identity

09:49and they keep thinking about what belichick did to matt jones so it's it's like a situation joe

09:57i appreciate that i i mean if that's what he's doing that's a mistake like you got like you don't

10:04make your decisions in business or in life based on what somebody else did or didn't do that's

10:11ridiculous
