00:00Is there any scenario you think where Gerard Mayo could be out and Alex Van Pelt could stay?

00:07No, no, I don't. Well, I just, I think it's been, I've actually been talking about this for a while

00:14and you and I have texted. I think he's been gone for like for two months. I legit think.

00:19What about his relationship with the quarterback? It was almost nothing that was going to save him.

00:21What about the relationship with the quarterback? The quarterback loves him. You have a young

00:24quarterback. That's the most important thing in the organization.

00:26It should matter, but I just don't think it's gonna. I would be surprised if there's a change

00:33of heart, but I really feel like the die has already been cast. Well, if that's the case,

00:39these last three weeks, are they meaningless? I mean, is there anything that can be done?

00:44How do you see these three weeks going first of all? And if they

00:47are as bad as everyone thinks they're going to be, is this it?

00:50Well, I don't think they're meaningless for, for Gerard because while I still think that he is

00:55likely to return, you know, whatever the number is, maybe 85% that I've, I've sort of

01:00continued to stay at, like again, if they go and throw up on their shoes, like they did this past

01:05weekend, three more weeks and maybe they get, you know, just absolutely croaked by Buffalo and then

01:12turn around and have the Chargers at home in a standalone game, which I don't think too many

01:17people are all that psyched about in Foxborough. I think they wanted to kind of slide this,

01:21the rest of the season under the radar. And now, nope, if you want to watch pro football,

01:27that's the game. So I don't know, like, can, can he continue to step in it? Not only

01:34at the microphone, but also with the way his team looks at how they prepare, what, what have you?

01:38Like, I, that's where, like, you can't close the door completely on it. But like I said,

01:43I'm still leaning in the direction of, you know, he's coming back.
