I would have thought New England initially preseason would have let Mayo
00:04
Learn right. They knew it was his first time as a head coach. They've had him in their building for a long time and
00:10
I thought if they would have moved on from Gerard Mayo then maybe they wanted to try and shake things up
00:15
Maybe a Ben Johnson, maybe they couldn't get Ben Johnson, but they've made their move very quickly here
00:20
So it looks like the idea is still the the Patriot way
00:24
So what could that mean for their ensuing offseason? They currently hold the fourth overall pick
00:31
Yeah, so a couple things here
00:32
first of all with Mike Rabel there were other teams involved that the Patriots knew if they wanted they had to act fast and
00:38
That's that's the big reason why they did it plus they know him
00:40
This guy's a very successful for a while a head coach for the Titans a former coach of the year
00:45
They know what they were getting because Kevin as you know, he was in their building for many years as a football player
00:50
So they're looking to
00:52
Sort of duplicate that success now, let's let's go forward
00:55
What what can we expect out of Mike Mike Rabel?
00:57
So a coaching source who?
00:58
Worked with Mike for a number of years told me that despite his reputation for being run first and win with defense
01:05
Well, they had Derek Henry for Tennessee
01:07
Had Rabel not been fired
01:10
They were they were not going to be moving on with Derek Henry
01:14
Derek Henry was going to be gone as they understand no matter what if Rabel he was going to come back to the Titans
01:19
So what what what Mike has told people at least he did then his last coach of staff was
01:24
He wanted to be more forward-thinking
01:25
I'm not it wasn't going to be a pass first guy
01:28
But more a little bit more of balance stop coming out just try to run the ball establish the run which is kind of a
01:33
Fallacy Kevin and try to be more forward-thinking so that could happen here now Drake may
01:38
The one thing that the coaching agent told me this week was before they had the agreement with Rabil today
01:44
Is that you look at Drake may that's the one ace in the hole that they have they have their
01:49
Quarterback, they have to continue to develop them, but he's got enormous arm pretty athletic
01:53
He's a little bit more ahead of schedule when people thought yes
01:55
They have to help them and that's where I'm going next year Kevin the Patriots have a bottom five roster
02:01
They need much more talent at receiver remember they try to get Brandon. I you they try to get Calvin Ridley
02:06
They've admitted clearly that they know they have to upgrade at the Robert Shearer position
02:10
They have to get younger and more athletic at tight end. They have to improve their offensive line
02:14
They have a bottom half of the NFL clearly
02:17
Difficult offensive line and they need more playmakers on defense so there's a reason why this team was it was bad wasn't that Mayo?
02:24
Struggle a little bit he did but the roster is clearly poor and that that's why this is a rebuild
02:29
But a rebuild not needing quarterback
