Transcript

00:00Polk and Baker, you know, it's always one of those fine lines

00:03Like how early is too early to call a guy a bust versus just being right and sort of seeing it early on

00:09I just I've been so frustrated with Jalen Polk because it was a second round wide receiver

00:14very productive guy in college thought he'd be a good fit and

00:19It's just been a variety stuff. He says then it's drops and then it's penalties

00:23It's like he can't get out of his own way

00:26But that is still a guy that in the final eight games of the season, I want to see out there

00:31I want to I want to know going into next season just how much or how little I can count on him

00:35Yeah, same thing with Jay Vaughn Baker

00:37I mean, he should be kind of in a tryout situation now, and I hope that this personnel department will have

00:43the

00:45same

00:46Hang and judge mentality that Bill Belichick sometimes would okay. It's not working out

00:50I don't care that took two thoughts in the second round. See you you're done. Bye

00:55It's not working here and if you have to do that with some players do that don't protect your draft picks and say well

01:00He just didn't have enough time. I would also say

01:03relative to Polk

01:05Thornton

01:07Baker

01:09KJ Osborne anybody we need to start looking up

01:13Who's the who's the wide receivers coach names Tyler Hughes?

01:16Taekwon under woods there as well

01:19Tyler Hughes was an assistant in Washington for a year. He was a Patriots offensive assistant for a few years

01:26He has not really had what you would call a decorated career developing wideouts

01:31so if he doesn't develop in this year this changes the conversation because this notion of everybody's going to grow together and

01:38In a couple years, it'll be good. You might have to throw that to the wind because sorry Drake Mays ready already

01:44Yeah, so if you have to say

01:48Everything gets upgraded now. We're not having this kumbaya where everybody moves together

01:52urgency has to enter the equation if you have to say goodbye to coaches who didn't

01:57Sparkle in their first year and replace them with experienced ones

02:01And I'm not trying to fire Tyler Hughes here, but your expectations for all of the coaching staff

02:07Has to be higher because your window is officially open and I believe that to be the case as of Sunday

02:14He's ready. He's good. He's really good

02:17So let's get after it
