00:00Calvin Ridley, there's gonna be those comparisons forever. What's Calvin Ridley doing? Should you have signed him?

00:04Was that a a unanswered prayer as Garth Brooks would say that you didn't blow 90 million dollars on him?

00:10He looked pretty good last week though. Yeah last week. He's had a bad year

00:13Yes, he said like one and a half good games

00:15Basically the bulk of his targets and catches came last week after they unloaded D hop working with Mason Rudolph

00:21So it's interesting that he may not be able to play but he was a guy that maybe was starting to pick up steam

00:27I would have honestly liked to have just seen

00:29Christian Gonzalez match up with Calvin Ridley on Sunday shut him down and then have one of your guys go off for like

00:35Seven and one ten and a touch now, it's gonna be Christian Gonzalez against Nick Westbrook Akina. Yeah

00:41I mean for him, it's like what a letdown it feels like every week

00:44He's been going against in a little bit. Don't let it be a letdown game

00:47Then this is okay

00:48Every any which way you and I want to analyze this we can posture it as a different kind of test for the team

00:54You could have if it's Drake may it's Drake may great and he's going up against a team that has an elite secondary when healthy

01:00But now if you've got a money hooker potentially out with the groin issue

01:03If you have Snead not showing up at practice and him potentially out once again as well

01:07now this elite secondary becomes kind of mid at best so it could be a

01:13Good bounce back or get right game for the Patriots passing attack and the wide receivers

01:18That had a viral case of the drop sees last week

01:20Now if you're saying that it almost might be too easy in a lot of ways like who's gonzo gonna cover Westbrook Akina

01:26They don't have anyone else to worry about I not be that cocky

01:29I wouldn't know because because this team is not good enough to win team

01:33This team is not good enough to win

01:35No to win team is good enough for us to be that cocky or arrogant about no like this this

01:40It could turn into it could go from a hey

01:43Let's see who wins the garbage fight between the 1 and 6 team and the 2 and 6 team to hey

01:47The Patriots have no business being three and a half point dogs in this game

01:50Don't fall into the trap get out there and get the job done and prove

01:54That you're a team on the rise as opposed to a team on the bottom

01:57and I would say that exact speech to each and every one of the wide receivers that you are a player on the rise that

02:04You get out there and actually contribute to victory. Hey, and don't just do it for one catch here one catch there

02:10Can somebody find some consistency? I don't really care who it is
