00:00This is Drake May making a good impression so far down at training camp.

00:03Peter Schrager talked about how great Drake May has been so far

00:08to start the off-season workouts.

00:11I hear Drake May is absolutely wonderful so far also.

00:15Again, it's early.

00:16These might not be surprises, but when you get year two leaps,

00:19it means they spent the off-season working.

00:22And they spent, this is the Pop Douglas here.

00:24I'm telling you, the juice out of Patriots camp right now

00:27about Drake May is very real.

00:29And they'll bring it down because it's back to that old-school style.

00:32It's Vrabel, it's McDaniels, it's a lot of those guys.

00:34And they're not going to pump up their quarterback.

00:36But Drake May came ready to play.

00:38Drake May came ready to work.

00:40And I would just say don't be shocked if we see a year two giant leap from Drake May.

00:45Okay, Curtis, the ten wins that you have on the table sounds doable for this football team.

00:51More than doable. It should be expected.

00:55Chimes' six are getting worse and worse.

00:56I literally never said six.

00:59Stop making this up.

01:01False narrative.

01:02False news.

01:03To be fair, you just said six.

01:05I never said they'd win six, Curtis.

01:08How many...

01:08We had the receiver discussion briefly during trending,

01:12but how many do you think they keep?

01:13Five or six.

01:14Depending on if they feel like they're going to go a little bit more receiver-heavy,

01:18they maybe keep six.

01:20But if they feel like they might be a little bit more of a too-tight-end team,

01:24then they keep five.

01:24Generally, that's what teams usually keep somewhere between five and six.

01:29I just don't know.

01:30I'm not down there enough to see how many four wide receiver sets they run.

01:33Yeah.

01:34You know, we can get deep into the weeds.

01:36Diggs.

01:37Diggs.

01:38You got Diggs.

01:38You got Pop Douglas.

01:40You got Booty.

01:41You got Kendrick Bourne.

01:42Kendrick Bourne.

01:43Kyle Williams.

01:44Kyle Williams.

01:45Baker and Polk and Hollis.

01:48And I asked Shime this during the break.

01:50Matt Hollis is on.

01:51Hollins, excuse me, is hurt.

01:53And they gave him three and a half million guaranteed money.

01:57So I wonder and I look, could he be a guy that they might say,

02:03well, you know what?

02:05These other guys are performing better.

02:07We're going to cut our losses.

02:08Because he only signed the two-year deal for $8 million.

02:11So it's not like they invested a ton of money in him.

02:13My guess, Wiggy, though, is just because he's so familiar with the McDaniels offense,

02:17having played in it before, he would stay on.

02:19They'd keep him around even if he's injured, just kind of helping the other receivers get ready

02:26and get better in this offense, is kind of my thought.

02:29And so, like, they'll keep him probably on Pup to start the season

02:32and then eventually either pull him off or cut him later midway through.

02:36But isn't that what Kendrick Bourne's for?

02:37Kendrick Bourne is super familiar with this offense.

02:40Pop Douglas is familiar with this offense.

02:42But I don't know that they want to keep Bourne.

02:43I think there's a reason they signed Matt Collins in the offseason

02:46and, you know, and Bourne is technically on the bubble.

02:50If I had to say, I would probably agree.

02:52If I had to say the three guys that I would say is safer, Diggs, Pop, and Kyle Williams

02:56because Kyle Williams is a third-round draft pick.
