00:00Adam Calvin is our NFL insider, and you can follow him at Kaplan NFL on X for free, which
00:09is beautiful.
00:10He's been covering the NFL for almost 30 years, and he set the standard here on SportsGrid
00:15across the board to catch him on coast to coast regularly.
00:18And we've got preseason football tonight, a pair of games.
00:23Hope it's better than that Hall of Fame game that got canceled because of weather.
00:28Yeah, the last one, the first one last Thursday, after 41 minutes, they called it.
00:34And I know people were pissed that they couldn't cash, cash their tickets in.
00:37So yeah, tonight now in Foxborough, right, Panthers are visiting the Patriots.
00:42It's not supposed to rain during the game.
00:46Now here's the story.
00:47Let's go to the Panthers.
00:48Bryce Young is not going to play tonight.
00:50You're going to see undrafted free agent, not Jake Plummer, but Jack Plummer out of
00:54Louisville.
00:55He's got a decent arm, but he was an undrafted free agent.
00:58Jake Luton, who's a young journeyman at quarterback.
01:00So you're not going to see Bryce Young.
01:02And by the way, though, they're happy with this progress.
01:04They've added a lot of qualified, talented pass targets.
01:08They're looking to take their offense to the next level.
01:10And with the Patriots, they're going to play.
01:12They're going to give Drake May an extended look.
01:15The Patriots will quarterback the first-round pick.
01:17And one of the sensations at training camp, Joe Milton, okay, Joe Milton, who's a quarterback
01:22out of Tennessee, who I saw at the Senior Bowl, has the strongest arm for the draft,
01:26has major issues with accuracy.
01:28But this guy is a gunslinger.
01:30You're going to see him tonight, for a Patriots team that's looking to kind of rebuild here.
01:34And remember, as we talked about earlier this week, they're in on the sweepstakes for Brandon
01:39Iyuk.
01:40It's not going to happen.
01:41Iyuk doesn't want to go there.
01:42But the bottom line is, as I put out three months ago for Pro Football Network, the Patriots
01:47are looking for wide receivers.
01:48They're looking to improve.
01:50They want to build around this quarterback.
01:53It's going to be Drake May eventually starting.
01:55We know that Kobe Brissett right now is almost starting to start week one.
01:58But at some point, Drake May is going to take over the season, and they need to help him.
02:02Well, I think that's the only thing interesting about, frankly, tonight's game is watching
02:09Drake May play to see what he's made of.
02:13I want to ask you, before we talk about this next game, you mentioned Brandon Iyuk.
02:20But it is beyond me how long this has taken.
02:25I mean, this is every day now for a month.
02:30For a month, we have talked every day about Brandon Iyuk.
02:33And yesterday, the Steelers allegedly reengaged these negotiations for a trade.
02:39They want a receiver.
02:40I think it's Austin that they want.
02:43And all I know is it just never budges.
02:46It never moves.
02:47Nothing ever happens.
02:48Like, I give up.
02:49I don't care anymore.
02:50All right.
02:51Let me explain this to you.
02:52First of all, I'd be very surprised if the Niners would take back Calvin Austin.
02:57He's a talented guy, but he's smaller.
02:59They like bigger receivers, six foot or taller.
03:02They usually don't like the smaller receivers.
03:04And if you're the Steelers, they've got Pickens, right?
03:10We've talked about Pickens and how great George Pickens is.
03:12He had a very quietly, a really good season last year.
03:14We're not trading him.
03:15No, I know.
03:16I know.
03:17No.
