00:00We're four games in, they're 1-3, that might have been expected.

00:03My big hope for the team this year is that the offense would take a step forward.

00:07Has not.

00:08I wanted them to be at least, you know, middle of the pack in scoring.

00:10I didn't need top 10.

00:11No.

00:12Didn't need them to be great.

00:13Where do they rank?

00:14They are 31st in scoring.

00:15You know who's 32nd?

00:16Dolphins.

00:17The Miami Dolphins.

00:18Patriots are 13 points a game.

00:21What?

00:22Dolphins are at 11.3.

00:2313?

00:24Yeah.

00:25Not great, Bob!

00:26Oh my God.

00:27That's worse than last year.

00:2813?

00:29I think Georgia averages that at a quarter.

00:31I was hoping.

00:32Alabama?

00:33They would be middle of the pack.

00:34In terms of passing yards per game, the Patriots are dead last.

00:37112.3.

00:38It hasn't gone great as far as the passing game.

00:44So this was my big hope, and that to me is the biggest failure.

00:47I wanted a competent offense.

00:50Don't have one.

00:51They're nowhere near competent, and that's where you hope the switch to Drake May comes

00:55in.

00:56Oh, what's he going to do that's going to be any better?

00:57I don't know that.

00:59More than 112 yards a game?

01:00More than 13 points a game?

01:0232 and 31 respectively?

01:04I don't know.

01:05That would be my hope.

01:06The post-Tom Brady era in New England has been really remarkable to watch, and there's

01:11been a variety of quarterbacks, a variety of offensive coordinators.

01:15Here's where they ranked in the league in scoring.

01:17They were 27th the first year without Brady.

01:20That was the COVID year with Cam.

01:21They were 27th.

01:23They were 6th with Josh McDaniels and Mac Jones.

01:26That is shocking.

01:27That is shocking.

01:28But they spent a crap ton of money that year and really upgraded their weapons.

01:32I'm not saying they were perfect.

01:34Nelson Aguilera stunk.

01:35They loaded up.

01:36They ran it up.

01:37Jacksonville and New York, they scored like 100 points combined or something.

01:39But whatever.

01:40That counts.

01:41They were 6th.

01:42Give them credit for it.

01:43They were 6th.

01:44Definitely counts.

01:45Then the Matt Patricia year, as much as we clown on the Matt Patricia year, 17th in points.

01:4817th in offensive scoring.

01:50And I think we ran pretty well that year.

01:52For all the crap we gave them in the running game, they actually ran the ball pretty well

01:54that year.

01:55I think Ramondre was good.

01:57Ryan, 31st.

01:58Alex Van Pelt, 31st.

02:00Nice.

02:01Wow.

02:02Look out below.

02:03There are 32 teams, as a reminder.

02:0432 teams.

02:05There is room in the basement.

02:07They were 30th in yards last year.

02:08They're dead last in yards this year.

02:11So if you want to break the tie with them being 31st, they are actually worse this year.

02:14And they're dead last in passing again.

02:15Would you go over to 112 passing yards per week?

02:18This is not a triple option offense.

02:20No.

02:21This is not the Wildcat.

02:22No.

02:23Although they did run the Wildcat once.

02:24They did.

02:25They scored a touchdown out of it.

02:26What's your Wildcat team?

02:27I would...

02:28You know what?

02:29Call up Ronnie Brown.

02:30What's he up to?
