00:00The only chance Drake May is playing the first month, outside of injury to Brissette, which we're not rooting for,
00:05the only way he gets in there the first month is if Brissette is so bad week one, they get him in against Seattle.
00:11It's the only place now that makes sense. Jets on a short week doesn't make sense.
00:1549ers for your first start doesn't make sense.
00:18Until you get to weeks five and six, the Dolphins and the Texans, or you get to the bye week later on in the year,
00:23week two is your opportunity.
00:25So what am I rooting for? Brissette to go out and stink, couple of picks, doesn't make it through the first week,
00:31meaning he gets benched, and it's exactly how it went with Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen.
00:35That's now officially what I'm, as a Patriots fan, that's what I'm rooting for.
00:38Disaster, clown show, mess, May gets in there and he starts week two against Seattle.
00:44Yeah, so you know what? At least, as a fan, it's just a weird spot to be in.
00:47We dealt with it last year. You're rooting for Chad Ryland to miss that kick against Denver,
00:52and he somehow makes it, and you're like, you're going to screw him there.
00:55So you have to do what's best for the team long term.
00:57You almost feel like you're a GM as a fan watching the team.
01:00And so at least in that scenario where you just want them to get the doors blown off them against Cincinnati,
01:05that's a one-off. So it's not like you're rooting against them week in and week out.
01:08Right. It's not like seven days. Fight the bullet one game.
01:11Yeah, but here's the other part.
01:13If the reason why Brissette is starting over May is specifically because the offensive line is so bad,
01:19and they feel like he can't have any success with that, you need them to get smoked,
01:26but not because they're lining up improperly up front.
01:30If Jacoby Brissette gets sacked seven times and they lose 31-0, guess what? He's still back for May 2.
01:37Right. It needs to be about Brissette's poor play, not the O-line.
01:39He needs to fumble and throw picks, and the offense doesn't move the ball,
01:43but not because it's just Ole offensive line turnstiles.
01:47That would be a key difference.
01:49No, that's fair. So you can jump in on this. What are you rooting for? It's Brissette now.
01:52So now what? You need to root for something? You need to root against something?
01:57When's the spot for Drake May? When's the right spot?
01:59I like week two. I think week two is still in play, but if it's not week two,
02:03you're not going to see him until much later in the season.
02:05You're not going to see him the first month, barring injuries.
