00:00This is Adam. Adam, good morning.
00:03Good morning, guys. Love the show.
00:06Thank you so much, Adam.
00:07Oh, you're welcome. I don't mean to burst your guys' bubble, especially Shine,
00:11but I don't know if you heard on the pregame show yesterday
00:14that Albert Breer was reporting that their plan is to centric May for the whole season.
00:19And there's no really anything he can do in the preseason for that to change.
00:23Yeah, I can't wait to ask Mayo about this on Monday.
00:27I've heard that Devin McCourty was on this show on Tuesday or Wednesday
00:36saying essentially the same thing. And I don't know. I mean, maybe we are looking at it
00:43with the wrong eyes. Maybe what we saw from Drake May last night does not look the same to
00:49Alex Van Pelt, Gerard Mayo, Elliott Wolfe. I don't know.
00:54Sitting Drake May for an entire year would be a massive organizational failure.
01:00Yeah, I go back to Robert Kraft in the aftermath of Mac's rookie season,
01:06where they lost in the wild card round to the Bills going ten and eight.
01:11And he said, it's been a while. It's been too long since we have won a playoff game.
01:18Yeah. Now you're going to get here and you're just going to basically,
01:22if you don't play Drake May this year, the rebuild doesn't even start until next season.
01:27Right. Well, but then Courtney brings this up, and I think she's spot on.
01:32It was interesting when Robert Kraft was on this show a week ago on Friday
01:40and said several times that he didn't know what you could expect from this season.
01:48Well, that's even more in a almost in a, you know,
01:52take the under the worst kind of way. But that's like he's preparing everybody
01:59for a negative diagnosis. But that's even more of a reason to play play Drake May,
02:05because it's why else would you watch this year if you're Robert Kraft and it's just
02:10strictly business? Why else would you watch this team? Would you want to watch the Kobe
02:15Brissett get happy feet and throw a pick in the red zone? Like, nope, no, I just.
02:20Ramondre Stevenson is a good running back. David Andrews is a very good center on when
02:25he was a great guard. Hunter Henry's a decent tight end. They are OK at receiver. Their defense
02:31is top ten. Like if they have Drake May, there are going to be blowout losses. He's going to
02:37have three to four pick games are going to be ugly, but you're at least building something.
02:42Right. With with you, Kobe Brissett, I have no I gain literally nothing. What you get with
02:48Drake May by playing him this year is like no one expects him to go out there and you're going to
02:53have ten wins. But what you get is a guy who now when he steps in in the offseason, he has a full
03:02year under his belt of playing, seeing everything. So imagine where his confidence level is going to
03:08be next season. I would buy that. Maybe the plan going in was that Drake May wasn't going to play
03:15this season. I am hoping that what he has done in training camp and in situations like last night
03:23will change their mind. And we can ask Gerard Mayo about that on Monday on this show at eight,
03:29I believe. I am on Monday. You will join us Monday at eight.
03:34It's time for Larry Bird's not walking through that door. Fans would not say that I'm Mona Lisa
03:40Vito of football world day. I want you to cook the dinner. At least they ought to let you shop
03:45for some of the groceries. Said it. Wake up. Maybe I'll do it in a day. Said it. I'm just
03:52going to say. All right. Time for a quick back and forth on what they said yesterday in sports.
03:57Where do you want to start? Chime? Well, Greg, it's funny. We've been talking about
04:02Drake May versus Jacoby Brissett because Gerard Mayo talked about it a little bit in his post-game
04:07comments yesterday after the preseason game. Here is what he said about if Drake May could beat out
04:14Jacoby Brissett for the starting job. I was wondering, would the offensive line ever be an
04:18impediment to maybe considering him as the starter or maybe, you know, not giving him as much time
04:22if you don't trust the line? Yeah, for me, we always talk about competition and that's at all
04:28spots. So even if Drake, you know, beats out Jacoby, I mean, he earned that role and we don't
04:34really take that into consideration when he's ready to go. And if he's better than Jacoby,
04:37then he'll play. He'll start. It's the way it should be. That's the way Bill would do it. You
04:41know, that's the way any coach should do it is your draft. Bill did it with Mac. Yeah. Right.
04:47And Bill loved Kim. We remember those days. I mean, it really, we were surprised because
04:54everybody at training camp said Mac was out playing Cam. And then you remember, I mean,
04:58it was an organic, nice moment. Fans were chanting for Mac at a preseason game. Last night had that
05:04feel. 978 text from Canton, which says Hasselhoff to sit Mac. Hasselhoff. Don't sit him. Start him.
05:15Start him. All right. What's next? Well, let's hear from Drake May. Alex Van Pelt incorporated
05:20some of the stuff Drake May did in college. And Drake talked about that in his postgame presser.
05:26Yeah, I think that's the great thing about this offense with what AFP does. We do a lot of
05:29different things. We can spread it out and empty. We can get 12 personnel, 13 personnel on the
05:33football. So we do a lot of different things. We got keepers, we got kind of the whole nine yards.
05:37So I think a lot of the stuff that kind of translates from college, other than getting
05:42in the huddle and using the cadence, it all translates. So I think that's a good point.
05:45And also we go through kind of a list of plays you've liked before going out there. We're not
05:50just going out there. Just kind of know what's going on. So we got a little bit of idea of,
05:53hey, it's third medium. I think this call is coming. This is what I told him I liked.
05:57So he does a great job of kind of understanding our feedback from all four of us and just kind of
06:02calling what we like. So that's an awesome kind of way for us to connect.
06:07Let him play. Let the kid play. Yeah. And that's good by a coach. You should have an offense,
06:12but your offense should be able to adapt to what that player does well and what that player likes.
06:18Because at the end of the day, they're all like, every offense is the same. It's just
06:23what, how you, what, like what words you use, the verbiage, exactly. But every,
06:29a go route is a go route. You know, a corner route is a corner route.
06:32Greg loves a button hook. Yes, a button hook is a button hook.
06:36I don't know if anybody calls it, but a button hook, hey, it is what it is. We know what it is.
06:40Sometimes the buttons have been popping of late and I'm working on it.
06:44You look good. You look great.
06:45Oh, thank you. Appreciate that. All right. What's next?
