00:00I don't think Jarrod Mayo's a lot to be back, I don't think Elliot Wolfe is a lot to be back,

00:03and I will give you what I think is tangible evidence that people there are nervous.

00:08Covington's name getting thrown out two weeks ago, Tyler Hughes's name getting thrown out right now.

00:12People are pointing fingers. Could be Van Pelt, could be beneath Mayo, could be beneath Elliot

00:15Wolfe, but to me that's a sign that people in the organization are going to pay for this disaster

00:23with their jobs. Which I think will happen, but I don't think it'll be Mayo until that point,

00:27so I think you could get into next year, and Alex Van Pelt again I think is going to be at the

00:33center of this, and it's going to be about how Drake May is playing, but Tyler Hughes to Marcus

00:37Covington, oh my god, I wouldn't bet on those guys coming back. I think Mayo does come back,

00:43but he only comes back if you claim to make all these other big changes, which how big are they?

00:48Like the head coach is still here. And I feel like Van Pelt has gotten safer. Tell me if you

00:52agreed this. Week one, and maybe you still think Van Pelt won't be back, but from week one until now,

00:58has Alex Van Pelt increased or decreased his likelihood of being back? Increased. I think

01:04so too. He has a much better chance of being back. And so now it's like the guy who I think

01:07was ready to be a scapegoat looks a little safer, and someone's gonna have to pay for it. I mean

01:12there's still eight more games, you know, and... The good news is there's a lot of options. Like

01:16if Kraft wants a scapegoat on the coaching staff or the front office, there's a lot a lot of people

01:19he could choose from. Plenty of guys. No, I know. More than on the ballot yesterday. Yesterday,

01:24you had... No, there was a pile of names on there. Who are these guys? I haven't seen their ads. They

01:29could do you a favor and put the Republican and Democratic candidates, just group them at the top.

01:35Yeah. I don't need it to be alphabetical. Like I get a little thrown off and I'm like,

01:38Jill Stein's up here? I'm like, I guess I'll vote for Jill Stein. She's pretty high up there.

01:42So yeah, no. Her level of commitment though is unmatched. He's got more choices, I feel like,

01:46realistically, than the ballot yesterday to scapegoat somebody if he'd like to.
