00:00I like Shyam, I have kind of a Patriots-Drake-May lead, but you know,
00:03Mayans is more in the other direction. Where I look at the Drake-May thing is,
00:09yes, I want him to be the week one starter, but I don't believe he will be because there's too
00:15much coming out of Patriots camp that leads me or shows me like, all right, for whatever reason,
00:23they still don't want to put him out there or give him, and I know he says it's a competition,
00:29but a true competition is when you're getting the same amount of reps as the other guy with the
00:36projected starters in there. And he's not. He's not, you know, based off of what they're saying.
00:41Even over this weekend. Even over this weekend. Even after Thursday night, and I think he
00:46impressed a lot of people Thursday night, he still isn't. Yeah, and I think that really
00:51leads me to believe. So are they just trying to keep him healthy? Like, is this an offensive
00:56thing? I have no idea. It doesn't make any sense, Greg. Honestly, I mean, not to repeat most of what
01:03Shyman-Wiggy has said over the last couple weeks, but Brissette, it'd be one thing if he was playing
01:08great. And it was clear that there were things Drake-May was able to learn from his, you know,
01:13quarterbacking. What is he going to gain from watching him? No. So you're either going to see
01:19September 19th or September 29th at New York or at the 49ers. Now,
01:25let's talk about baptism by fire for a rookie quarterback. Well, why don't you think he'll
01:30start at home? Well, because I think the opening game is in Cincinnati. I don't think they'll
01:36pull Jacoby Brissette that quick. So like, even if he struggles a little in Cincinnati,
01:41they'll give him the home opener. But then after the home opener, if he struggles again,
01:46I think they say, all right, that's probably it. Or they give him one more chance against the Jets
01:52on the road. I heard from Andy over on Saturday morning in a stunning development, Ken wasn't
01:57here. And he was telling Andy Hart was saying that he thinks that they want to start Drake-May
02:03at home in his first start. So like Robert Kraft wants the buzz of the debut coming at Gillette
02:10Stadium. Really? Yeah, I mean, I could buy that. I could buy that conspiracy theory. You can go
02:15down that road.
