00:00So as a Pats fan, I I'm trying to figure out the direction I know what the whispers are and if

00:07That's the direction. Okay, I can rock with that, you know, I can rock with that, but I still

00:12Need some veteran presence when it comes to helping Drake May, but I'm confused

00:19because I remember

00:22We I don't say we but people killed

00:27Bill Belichick for not

00:30Putting Mac Jones in the boss best possible position to be successful. It killed him. What are you doing? Get him weapons?

00:37He's got nobody to throw it to look at this guy. He's got weapons

00:40Well, that was mostly about Patricia and judge if we're being honest, no, but it was about the weapons

00:45It was it was Lee about the court. It was no Curtis

00:48He had no weapons to throw to people would say if you he had weapons who was his best receiver Kendrick Poland

00:55When an offseason got him Johnny Smith Hunter Henry Kendrick born they invested a ton of money Myers

01:01Was he with you Kobe Myers? Yeah, Kobe Lee's. Oh, he's here. Oh season

01:04I think with Mac, but they put the first season and then it was you know

01:08They know there's no weapons around them and we're doing the same thing with Drake May

01:12We're putting we're putting Drake May in the same position

01:16When it comes to not giving this kid a chance to be successful. You got a good offensive coordinator

01:24You have a good head coach

01:26But yet you're not putting no talent around him to make him be successful

01:32We criticized bill for yes

01:33We did criticize bill about the map Patricia year

01:36But then the Billy O'Brien year when he had a good offensive coordinator, it was well, he doesn't have the weapons

01:42He doesn't have a Steph Diggs. He doesn't have this guy

01:45He doesn't have that guy and we are just rewriting history and doing the same thing with Drake May

01:51But for some reason we are now criticizing which I don't understand the owner on

01:59Him not signing offensive players, which to me is and I criticized the owner before about not spending money

02:06But it seems like they're willing to or at least based on what they've done defensively

02:11They're willing to hand over some money. They still have money available

02:15But why are we not using that money on the offensive side of the football, okay

02:21And we talked about it a lot at the start of the show

02:24But Steph Diggs was here yesterday sign him sign him. You are all over giving him a shot

02:31Yeah, I mean, I know he's coming off the knee injury

02:33But prior to that he had six straight years of 1,000 yards as a receiver sign him. Okay. All right, we thank you

02:41You got it yesterday the NFL shared a memo that

02:46Detailed proposed rule changes from several teams and

02:51It appears that the Detroit Lions

02:54May have the best suggestion ever when it comes to rule changes in the NFL

03:01They would like to eliminate automatic first downs as a penalty for defensive holding and illegal contact

03:11How do you feel about like it because it's a five-yard penalty, right

03:15Just give the five yards, right? You don't have to give them the automatic first

03:18No, what if it's if it's second and ten and you call defensive holding?

03:23Yeah, and now it's second and five because you could call that stuff on almost any player. Yeah, and we see it as

03:30Especially when they get and that's a little bit different, but when you get into the red zone it automatically like, you know

03:37Changes the the outcome of the game if it's like third and ten and you're on the you know

03:4312 yard line or whatever and you get a defensive hold or automatic first down

03:46Ah, I'm all for that. I agree with this is the principle of it Greg, but I am

03:53cautioning you and everyone

03:55This then puts more onus on the ref to call a PI

03:59Where if it's close

04:01Before it would be like, okay, maybe it wasn't catchable, but he held five yards automatic first down

04:06It's not nearly as punitive against the defense

04:09But if there's a big play down the sideline and it's viewed as holding versus PI

04:14You're looking at a 30-yard difference and no first down. So I don't know

04:18I mean, I like it

04:19I think I would prefer that but that could be a an issue with the and I and I know as an offensive player

04:23We do a lot of things that we don't get called for all the time

04:26Especially, you know when it comes to running routes

04:28And I think this is a way to kind of even the balance a little bit because it's it's so difficult to play defense

04:34Especially as a corner because you can't touch guys if you tug a guy you pull a guy

04:38But I like it. I

04:40Definitely like this. And yeah, I mean the the five-yard penalty is less of a game altering

04:47You know result like I mean you give the first down and you're changing the game on something that you could call on every

04:55Single play. Did you read the addendum to it though? No in Sheafs games. It's always a first down

05:01Treat it like an offsides

05:03You know when somebody jumps off sides it goes from you know, third and ten to third and five

05:08It doesn't go from third and ten to first down. All right. Well, those are our leads this morning
