00:00Nope, I'm gonna talk about potatoes. Yeah, of course. I'm gonna talk about Drake May like this is this is everything

00:06This is officially the turning point, right?

00:09This is the moment you you'll be able to look back on and does it seem a little knee-jerk reaction by the organization?

00:16Absolutely, should they have probably done this last week when he would have been able to go up against Miami first?

00:21Absolutely, but regardless of that fact they clearly

00:25Their plan all along had nothing to do with Drake May

00:29It was entirely about the offensive coordinator liked to Jacoby Bursett was comfortable with Jacoby Bursett and was like, alright

00:35We're gonna drive him until we literally cannot drive this car any longer and after the Miami game

00:41That's when they realized Wow Jacoby Bursett's that bad

00:43He is the only other quarterback in all of football that's playing as poorly as Jacoby Bursett is Deshaun Watson

00:49Do you think they they being Elliot Wolfe Gerard Mayo Alex van Pelt, etc

00:55Thought Jacoby Bursett was going to be better. Yes. That's exactly what they thought you do. Yeah a hundred percent

01:01Well, that's not a good sign for Scouts

01:03No, it's not great. But my my hope here is to is like look

01:09Drake May is not gonna come out and light it up for three hundo and three touchdowns on Sunday

01:13I just don't think that's gonna happen. That's unrealistic to ask of a rookie quarterback making his first career

01:19No, no, but I'm telling you you're gonna see signs of what makes him great

01:24you're gonna see glimpses of it and it's just gonna get better and more consistent and more frequent with each week and I am so

01:32Unbelievably excited to see him finally hit the field. They've already listed his touchdown prop for Sunday

01:38Oh, Mary Proppins, Mary Proppins is in the building

01:41It's over a half a touchdown Courtney lock it in is my mortal lock of the century. I'm going with that

01:47Give me Drake May over a half a touchdown because I just I need it inject it directly into my veins

01:52Who's on the receiving end? Is it prop Douglas?

01:57Okay, all right Greg off and run it today Jalen prop

02:11Jump on the train very funny in your own right

02:15You have to try to do better unless it's not trying to do better Greg, I think you're a little insecure there

02:20We all know wiki gets parlayed every weekend

02:25It's just jumping on the train sometimes this is like a movie you just sit back and enjoy your popcorn

02:35Okay, so

02:36Looks like we should go the over you think he's gonna at least have a touchdown and this team

02:43I mean all you needed against the Dolphins was 17 points

02:46So you should be able to muster that up and like everybody's throwing out this whole like Houston dominated Josh Allen

02:52Yeah, but they also got absolutely destroyed by Sam Darnold

02:55So like who looked totally mortal by the way in London against the the against the Jets

03:01So like let's let's take a step back is D'Amico Ryan's a good play caller or defensive coordinator

03:05Yeah, but I think Drake may is a good quarterback, but this is gonna be a lot of fun. I'm it's here. Okay. All right shine

03:12Thank you Curtis. Good morning. Good morning

03:14Yesterday was the latest and greatest example of the Boston sports media scene thinking way too highly about themselves

03:23Flipping out does this have to do with the Peppers arrest and look at this over here

03:29There never was a play

03:30How dare they inform players through the media when Gerard Mayo was said multiple times on the morning show on Mondays that he talks through

03:37the media

03:38Who gives a damn when you hear news if it's good news, you're happy if it's bad news

03:41You're mad. It's not how they broke up with you. It's that they did deal with it

03:45and

03:45I'm watching this yesterday and watching everybody

03:49Breathlessly react to the timing and the manner in which the Patriots did something all those very same people were clamoring for them to

03:56Do in the first place. I am so excited for the Drake May era

04:00I don't know how he's gonna do none of us really have any clue

04:04But if he's a great player the timing and the opponent he begins his career against has

04:11Nothing to do with it

04:12It is an opportunity for this organization to try and change it up and you know

04:17The reason it's the same connection to the Jets Woody Johnson our Aaron Rodgers and Robert Sala

04:24These owners are all horned up about looking good overseas

04:28It's bizarre

04:30But Robert Kraft reportedly said I'm done with him

04:33Regarding Bill Belichick when they lost in Germany last year to the Colts the Jets move on from Salah after Aaron Rodgers bitching

04:40Continued following the loss in London and now the Patriots get one

04:45Rehearsal for their starting quarterback of the future before playing the Jaguars a week from Sunday in England with Drake May it's bizarre

04:53It's weird, but it's part of their whole thought process in this. Yeah, I'm excited

04:57I don't really care how that how or when they did it

04:59We get a game to watch with the quarterback that can throw the ball down. Yeah, and

05:04Curtis you you believe there was no plan. There's never been a plan

05:08Of course not if somebody has a plan they'll tell it to you

05:11well, you said what the plan was at the beginning when you said you believe their plan was that

05:18Jacoby Brissett was gonna be better than he was which would have gave given Drake May a little bit more time

05:23Yeah to kind of sit on the bench and whatever they call it developing but that didn't work out

05:28That was their plan. Yeah

05:30Well, I also thought I think Mayo thought they were somehow gonna be able to tell everybody that we're gonna be a run-heavy team

05:36And we're just gonna run the football at you

05:38And that that was gonna be successful week after week after week when everybody knew that you were just running the football and that didn't

05:44Work either. So, all right Curtis great lead
