00:00But I think there's genuine interest this weekend to see.
00:03Are the Patriots that much better without Bill Belichick and with a new coach who they
00:06want to play for?
00:08Are they that much better with a career backup in Jacoby Brissett, but somebody who isn't
00:14greater than Mac Jones?
00:15Yeah, 100%.
00:16Are they that much better off?
00:17Are they on to something?
00:19Is this team a better operation than the dysfunctional mess that people didn't want to acknowledge
00:24they were, but the dysfunctional mess that they were the last couple of years?
00:28So I think there's genuine interest in that, and you could really, really snowball that
00:34forward.
00:35And so the question becomes, all right, how do you beat this Seahawks team?
00:38What's the game plan for beating a team like Seattle that got off to a 1-0 start against
00:43Bo Nix and the crummy Broncos?
00:46I don't think it was a great performance by Seattle, as Curran told us the other day.
00:51It took two safeties in the game, for God's sakes.
00:54So I don't think they're a great team.
00:55What's the game plan for beating them, Keith?
00:56I think it's going to have to be, for the Patriots, very similar to what they did last
01:00week.
01:01That's kind of what they have.
01:02I don't think...
01:03Previous Patriot teams, you remember if the team they faced had a bad run defense, they'd
01:07pass all over them.
01:08If they had a bad run defense, they'd run all over them.
01:11They could beat you in a variety of ways.
01:13This Patriot team can't.
01:15So it's going to have to be running game and defense.
01:18And the big key is probably going to be Jacoby Brissette not turning it over once again.
01:24We'll probably say that every week, as long as he's still the starter.
01:27Because case in point, you brought up my guy, Bo Nix, making his NFL debut, threw two picks
01:31in the game.
01:32One of them was atrocious.
01:33One of them was like one of those, like, you can't throw that at the NFL.
01:36So bad.
01:37And I haven't underscored this enough.
01:39He could have thrown like four or five in that game.
01:41But he did throw two.
01:42One was horrible and he could have thrown more, but he only, yes, he only quote unquote
01:46threw two.
01:47Yes.
01:48And so he did not have a very good game.
01:49And yet they had a lead in the second half, meaning the Denver Broncos did.
01:52So the Seahawks had to come back.
01:54They ended up winning the game by six.
01:5526-20 was the final.
01:58But I think the Broncos turned it over three times because Nix had the two picks.
02:03They also had a fumble lost.
02:05So if the Patriots don't do that and play it similar, I think even though, oh, no, no,
02:12no.
02:13He said, as the ball is in the air, he goes, oh, no.
02:17I mean, basically, Nix can't throw beyond like the line of scrimmage.
02:19That's not true.
02:20He can throw five, 10, 15, 25 yards downfield.
02:23He can't do it.
02:24It's very overstated.
02:25He would throw the ball.
02:26It's not overstated.
02:27You hear Archuleta?
02:28It's not overstated.
02:29Well, that was just a bad read.
02:30He shouldn't have thrown it into triple coverage.
02:31I feel like that was a mistake on his part.
02:33But no, it's a similar game plan.
