00:00plenty of spots in the week six NFL Sunday slate where we saw a

00:07new quarterback take the reins. A couple of rookies, the third

00:11overall pick Drake May for the Patriots, the fifth round

00:14selection in New Orleans, Spencer Rattler, and then a

00:17second year pro once again starting for the Las Vegas

00:22Raiders. A common theme among all three three losses and in

00:26rather large fashion yesterday. Let's start in New England. The

00:30Patriots starting debut for Drake May. The Texans though go

00:36into Foxborough and win big. Forty-one, twenty-one as the

00:40odds makers expected. A six and a half point spread in favor of

00:43Houston. They easily cover. What the odds makers did not

00:47expect ERS. Sixty-two total points over a pregame number

00:51that was low at thirty-eight and a hook. The only knock

00:55against Houston this year off to a five and one start was the

00:59rather non-impressive way they were finding wins but they have

01:03covered in their last two. Now five, eight, and one against the

01:07number as the favored side with CJ Stroud. Joe Mixon returned

01:12for the first time since week two. Had 132 total yards, two

01:16total touchdowns. Okay, Houston goes into Foxborough. They get a

01:20win. That's what was expected. What did you make of start

01:24number one for the number three overall pick, Drake May? It was

01:28better than Jacoby Brissette and I guess that's a starting

01:31point that you can use. I don't know if he's ready to play NFL

01:33football. I know a lot of people, hey, let's give him his

01:35flowers. Now, I did have him in my, you sell me something

01:37yesterday. Throw at least one touchdown pass. He threw three

01:40but he still turned the football over three times which is what

01:42rookies do which is why his QBR rating was a thirty-one despite

01:45throwing for two forty, two forty-three and three

01:47touchdowns. He will get better but the interesting part around

01:50it is now that you're gonna get some film on what he likes to

01:52do and not do. That's gonna tell the tale over the next

01:55couple weeks and also, this is, we're not gonna miraculously

01:58get a superstar wide receiver and a super healthy running

02:01back and a great tight end back in the lineup here to sort of

02:04help the Wingo out. That's not going to happen. The one thing

02:06I did like the ability for him to throw, I enjoyed because

02:09Jacoby Brissette couldn't throw the football. Here might be the

02:12issue moving forward because we're looking at Drake May

02:15yesterday and said again, two forty-three and three scores.

02:17Hey, maybe the sky's the limit. You can freak out of it. Keep

02:20in mind, they were getting slaughtered this entire game.

02:23Defenses play differently here. Just looking to get out of town.

02:25It would have been interesting to me if maybe he threw that

02:27touchdown in the first quarter and made it a close game. That

02:30was fourteen seven at the break. Then, Houston pulled away.

02:32Every time they got a three touchdowns, you sort of see a

02:34touchdown pass here from Drake May. So, I think it's a good

02:37start for New England. Right. He did show me a little bit

02:40yesterday that he could function in the pocket with

02:42limited weapons. So, there's a start that I love it. No, but

02:45anything is better than Jacoby Brissette. So, the New England

02:48Patriots fans wake up, they're like, man, we're one and five,

02:50oh and three at home. Boy, we got smashed by three touchdowns

02:53yesterday but at least the kid can throw a forward pass. So,

02:56there's something.
