00:00
Okay, McDaniels speaking to the media says Steph Diggs is here.
00:03
All right.
00:04
Am practicing today.
00:05
Hell yeah.
00:05
Okay, good.
00:06
I feel vindicated for saying he should have been here last week.
00:08
Steph Diggs in the house.
00:09
Number one, good for him.
00:10
Should be there.
00:11
I'm happy he's out there.
00:12
That is a sign that they're not going to cut him.
00:15
They're not going to move on from him.
00:17
And I'm happy that he's there.
00:19
He should be there.
00:20
Good.
00:20
Great, great, great news on that front.
00:23
Why now?
00:24
So great.
00:25
Give him credit.
00:26
I like that.
00:27
Separate thought.
00:27
Maybe it wasn't an offset response.
00:30
Well, maybe not.
00:31
He's wearing a Pats uniform.
00:32
Why is he here now when he couldn't be bothered to show up last week?
00:36
Did he get busy?
00:36
Did he get shamed into it?
00:38
I don't know.
00:38
Did the Patriots strong arm him into it?
00:40
Did the flood of reporting last week?
00:42
And it was a lot of reporting about they don't owe him this and they could cut him for that
00:47
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:48
Was that a public pressure campaign to get him to show up?
00:51
It's so good.
00:52
I mean, it worked if that's the case.
00:54
But why is he there now?
00:55
Why is he here now when he wasn't here last week?
00:57
I'm curious to that answer.
00:58
But regardless of what that answer is, I'm happy he's here.
01:01
That's good.
01:01
Do you think Diggs wasn't here last week because it was Diggs' decision, Vrabel's decision,
01:06
already a made decision prior to all the stuff that came out?
01:09
He just said, hey, this is one that I'm not going to be here.
01:10
Here's what I think, but I don't know.
01:11
I think it was Diggs' call.
01:13
Chris, this morning, during his lead, said he's heard that Kraft was upset.
01:17
Vrabel sounded very upset.
01:20
I know Breer at one point said last week maybe Vrabel asked him not to show up.
01:23
But that didn't sound like that to me.
01:25
That doesn't ring true listening to Vrabel.
01:27
My real answer is I don't know.
01:29
But my guess is he didn't want to be here.
01:31
And now he's here.
01:32
If you want to read into quotes, which is what we do.
01:35
Yes.
01:36
So Phil Perry wrote just simply that Diggs is here, according to Josh McDaniels.
01:40
And as Phil writes, Diggs hasn't been here for the entirety of the optional portion of the schedule.
01:44
But McDaniels says he's been keeping up on the information he's been given.
01:49
Quote, I'm not concerned about Steph in that regard.
01:53
But does that mean he's concerned in some regard?
01:57
Yes, yes, yes.
01:58
In that regard, I'm not concerned.
01:59
But in some regard.
02:00
But in other regards.
02:02
There's lots of other regards that I'm very concerned about.
02:05
Okay, I like you reading into that.
02:06
I don't know.
02:06
That's interesting.
