00:00Everything is not fine when it comes to the New England Patriots. No

00:03They have suffered their sixth loss in a row, right?

00:07they I think I hate saying it because

00:11chime gets excited but

00:14Seems like to two games in when it comes to Drake may they have found their quarterback for the future

00:19Feel really good about that wiki. I'm sure you do as well. Yep

00:23But the rest of it is an s-show now that I get right team in the NFL

00:27It is it is a it is a it's pathetic and it seems like you pick your word

00:36They're mailing it in they can't tackle there are guys that are giving up. I don't know what's going on when it comes to the

00:44The the play caller on offense the offensive coordinator. I the defense is not good

00:50You would think that Gerard Mayo would be if anything we're gonna be functioning properly on this football team

00:56They would think it would be the defense. So they are just they are awful. Yeah, that's why I said they are everybody else's

01:02We were going in this game to Jacksonville

01:05We thought Jacksonville was the get-right team the team that you play to get right

01:09But it starts this it looks like the New England Patriots and now everybody's team and the NFL to get right game

01:16So if you're like getting ready to play New England, like when did I play the Jets? Is it this weekend?

01:21Yeah

01:24So probably looking like all right, this is I get right team how embarrassing though because that opening drive I'm like, oh, all right

01:29They look good. They look good

01:30But we can't get too excited because it's against Jacksonville and then to end the way that they did it was like everything after

01:36That opening drive was so bad

01:38So it to say that they're throwing the season or they're just they're they're unraveling on purpose

01:43You wouldn't have an opening drive like that. Like they showed that they could do it

01:46But then it just went away because that's because the first 15 the first open and drive is scripted

01:52Right, and so it's a little bit defense doesn't know what you're doing

01:55yeah defense figures it out and you have a head coach and

01:58I'll throw the rest of the staff in there who apparently is unable to adjust

02:03It shouldn't be that big of a follow-up. Oh Alex

02:07It just does not appear to be

02:10a an awful lot of care that goes into

02:14What you do in game when it comes to coaching just just my two cents

02:19That the team sucks

02:21obviously

02:23But I was so wrong at the beginning after week one. I felt like wow, this defense looks amazing

02:30I thought the Bengals were better and I said, well, they're at least playing for the guy and

02:35Now I sit here. I don't think they made a mistake in firing bill

02:39I think they made a mistake in their offseason of building a roster that Gerard Mayo could coach effectively and the whole thing

02:48from my vantage point

02:51Changed when they knew Drake May out

02:56Performed to Kobe Brissett in training camp and you have asked a rod many times

03:02That's the truth and then they didn't start the season with them

03:05Yeah, I just I just you and I are gonna disagree on that

03:07I do think they made a mistake in firing bill Belichick. I think that

03:12They you know, Elliot Wolfe came in here and in February said

03:18we're gonna have less of a of a hard-ass vibe around this place and

03:24Then you end up with what you got yesterday

03:27Which is postgame guys like Kendrick Bourne talking about other guys who are up all night eating whatever

03:35You know, whatever the issue you got Jalen Polk and and his Instagram post you got I mean, it's just

03:44there is a a little bit of discipline that is required in

03:49Every aspect of life and it doesn't seem like in this so far

03:55We're only seven games in

03:57but it doesn't seem like that is

04:00Gerard Mayo's

04:02Forte well is the discipline part of thing, right and I kind of agrees that he comes across as a nice guy

04:09He as a former player and he doesn't really maybe like you said walk the line of discipline

04:15I think their biggest regret and if they could go back now and change it

04:19I think their biggest regret was not starting Drake May in week one

04:23Because I think if you start Drake make Drake May in week one and you win a few games

04:28Which it looks like he would have been able to do now when you get you wouldn't be at this point in the season where?

04:36Guys are kind of checking out because the record is so bad

04:39You'd have a team that might have been sitting there at three and three going into Jacksonville

04:43Completely different mindset than a team that's going into Jacksonville at one and five and a lot of people in the broadcast yesterday

04:50Right on your side wiggy when they were saying I believe if Drake had started this season

04:53You'd be sitting here at three and three so and the mindset would completely change, right?

04:57So if you as a player if I'm sitting on a team and we're three and three

05:02We're right in the mix. My mindset is different versus if we're one in five. We're playing in London

05:09We're like, what are we playing for?

05:12And then if you get behind a little bit or you're not playing as well

05:15You tend to go

05:16All right

05:17Now you start to say see what Antonio Pearce said with the Raiders is you start to make business decisions for yourself?

05:25Making business decisions though

05:27At least when it comes to tackling I'll take one small part of it that they've been making quote business decisions

05:35For many weeks not not, you know

05:38They weren't they were this team was poor when it came to tackling almost from the get-go, right?

05:44but so I so

05:46Yes, where I I'm we are here to argue those points and we can argue them all day long

05:52I just don't know. When is it? When is the time right to ask?

05:58whether Robert Kraft when he when he identified Gerard Mayo as

06:03The guy to be the head coach of this football team five years ago. Mm-hmm when he had virtually no coaching experience whatsoever

06:10When is it the right time to ask whether he made the right decision?

06:14Not today. I mean obviously today, but he won't be making that question today

06:18But I would just say wiggy you were here

06:20You're on the team when Bill started 5 and 13 with the Patriots for people saying woo

06:25But he's instilling a lot of values here that work. No, he's getting ripped up and down

06:30I was with his kids at Foxboro Stadium

06:32We had to go back to the suite because they were being so vulgar about how bad Bill was as a coach, right?

06:38This roster sucks. I don't know why Robert Kraft

06:43empowered grow and wolf

06:46Taekwon Thornton, you know who he reminds me of Jalen Polk second round receivers

06:50You can't catch and it's like this. I I don't understand it and to me. It's just because they're cheap

06:55Yeah, that's the only reason you do that

06:58Yeah, and that's the reason the staff is the way it is because there's a lot of guys that were still under contract

07:03I believe that Gerard Mayo's coaching staff next year will be far different than the one this year

07:09But then it's like why are we wasting all these years? Yeah, and I don't the whole Jalen Polk thing. I

07:14It's hard because

07:17Your expectations of him as a player

07:20He was good at Washington and then he gets here and you know, I've seen it

07:24I'm well, he has the best hands in the NFL. He doesn't have the doesn't have the best feet

07:28No, no, he does have the best hands in the end great social media. Yeah. Well, I would say that I would

07:34Oh my god

07:35Disagree with him, but they like the Jalen Polk situation is and I've seen this before

07:40Some guys and I'm not saying he's at this point yet

07:44but some guys are just not good enough to play in the NFL and he might be one maybe mentally he's at that point where

07:53He can't get over this hump of not being able to catch the ball because he starts to hear everything

07:58He said it wasn't a mental thing. He said I'm you know, I'm great mentally, right?

08:04I have the best hands in the NFL. I

08:06Like I mean, yeah, it doesn't look like it how many what are you three drops?

08:12Yeah, I mean like he's so bad

08:15I I have not had this burning rage for a Boston athlete like I do for him in a very long time

08:22He's just so like everything about him is cringe
