00:00It's kind of like a luxury item, like, because I feel like there's something is something can easily happen to Brissett
00:08Easily he can get hurt right and now
00:11Your backup to Drake May if he gets hurt is Joe Milton
00:16right
00:17It's oh, there's there's a value to having Bailey Zappi
00:21If he doesn't cost you a lot of money if you can still do the developmental thing with Milton
00:26He can still be a practice squad who knows and you're not and you don't need to worry about protecting him like there is
00:32Bailey's got some some
00:34He's got some he's got some value there, right? There's some sleep at night juice with him. He has value
00:40Here Oh here only because of the situation there is because I do think other places probably like now
00:46We're good with all our guys, you know, we're not really worried about it, you know, and or maybe they say, you know
00:51He ain't worth it
00:53But I've just seen these situations with
00:55Teams with that have the same issues that the Patriots have where the starting quarterback gets hurt
01:00Now the backup quarterback is Drake May with absolutely zero and he and they're squirrely as it is
01:06Well, do you think that Bailey Zappi would get snagged up on someone's roster right away?
01:10So that if that did happen you still would have the ability to bring him back. I do think Bailey Zappi
01:16Will still be in the NFL. I don't know if it'll be with this team
01:20But based on the fact that he has starting
01:24Experience in the NFL. He's won games in the NFL. He worked under bill
01:29I do think there's value there. I do think somebody will be like I will take Zappi
01:33he's almost like he's a low-level replacement, but he you want him to be like the
01:38You know veteran guy that comes in there like just keep it clean
01:42Well, I think too once we start to get some injuries in these preseason games because it's gonna happen there
01:48There's gonna be a war of attrition. You can control it a little more in practice
01:52But whether it's joint practices, which are now just starting to crank up or these preseason games
01:58There's gonna be a QB that's gonna go down or more importantly
02:02There's there's more than likely to be one or two backups that go down because this is where those guys are actually gonna have a chance
02:08To play so maybe that would open up a spot for the Patriots to be able to just get something conditional for Zappi
02:15Again, if if they go down that road
