Will the run game be sustainable for a 17-game season? Is Brissett having trouble throwing the ball downfield? Would Maye fix the deep ball issue?

00:00This is, this is Cotto from Boston.
00:03Cotto.
00:04Good morning.
00:05Morning, how's it going guys?
00:06What's up?
00:07Hey, so I called in a few days ago about how I thought that
00:11obviously like over 17 or 18 games,
00:14the run game wasn't going to be sustainable with injuries coming up
00:17and whatnot.
00:18And, you know, it's just something you, you know,
00:20that ends up happening.
00:22And to Wiggy and Chimes' point is I do think that Drake Mays should be
00:26starting because I think he'd give us more, more for our receivers.
00:31But at the same time, you know,
00:33we've talked all off season about how the offensive line is a problem.
00:37And no, I don't think that they're great,
00:39but if they're giving a quarterback six seconds to throw the ball,
00:42I think the quarterback should be finding a target.
00:44And I do, just to play devil's advocate for everybody saying that,
00:49what makes you think Drake Mays is able to do it?
00:52Well, what makes you think that Drake Mays isn't able to,
00:55to do the same as Brissette, if not better?
00:59And wouldn't it?
01:00The answer to that is we haven't seen Drake Mays do it.
01:03So we haven't seen Jacoby Brissette do it either.
01:06So what the hell's the difference?
01:07I know.
01:08Listen, to me,
01:09the strength of the run game that you bring up is another reason why you can
01:15put Drake Mays in there and not worry about it as much.
01:20Exactly.
01:21But if you have receivers that are getting open consistently,
01:25and, you know,
01:26Shine brought up the point the other day about Jalen Polk being a top
01:30receiver to get separation.
01:32It's, you know,
01:33you need somebody in there if you want to win games because this season,
01:37you know, a lot of people are saying that it's a rebuild year,
01:39but in reality, we have a good enough team to make, you know,
01:43make the playoffs.
01:44We have a good enough team to,
01:45I'm not saying we're going to win the Superbowl,
01:47but we have a good enough team to compete.
01:48And they showed that against the Bengals.
01:50They showed that last week.
01:51And if you get a better option at quarterback who can get it to your
01:55receivers, then you have even more of a chance to win.
01:58So I just,
01:59I don't see the negative in bringing in Drake Mays,
02:02giving them the experience and in the long run as a Patriots fan,
02:06it should be what you want because he is our number three pick and he's
02:10going to be our quarterback for a while.
02:11So get them in now,
02:13get them used to our young receivers.
02:15All of our receivers are young, except for, you know, Hunter Henry.
02:18It's just Curtis and Wiggy can relate to this,
02:23maybe more so than, than Courtney and chime.
02:27But we are in like,
02:30we have somehow arrived at a point where we are like Carolina,
02:36where we are hoping and praying that we made a pick in the draft,
02:42that quarterback that is somehow going to lead this franchise.
02:45Yeah.
02:46But we didn't leverage our future in order to do it back to glory.
02:49Like it is.
02:50It's it's bizarro world.
02:52Like when you think about the 20 years of incredible success here,
02:55but Greg removing my emotion and the bitterness of the past.
02:59Okay.
03:00When you have a quarterback that can win championships,
03:05the onus is on the coach and Robert craft specifically to maximize that
03:11window, not to find a way to shove him out the door.
03:14And that's what was so frustrating about the end here in new England,
03:20where they didn't maximize it because the odds that Drake may is anywhere
03:24near what you had is slim to none.
03:26See, I don't even really trip about that.
03:29It's like, you're, it's like, you're 16 years old and your crush,
03:32all of a sudden you live in Boston, your crush moves to California.
03:35It's like, yeah, your heart might be broken, but it's time to move on.
03:39I'm in the world of time to move on. I love what Brady did.
03:43I love what the organization was able to do in the time him and bill was
03:47there the same way I've moved on.
03:48Do you want to waste a whole nother season without knowing what Drake may?
03:52I don't, I think that's what they're going to do.
03:55I think it's stupid the same way.
03:57I think the Carolina Panthers are stupid for sitting Bryce young play
04:01Bryce young, see if he can get any better.
04:04And then after the season, you re you reevaluate.
04:07If it's time for us to look to see if we can get a free agent quarterback
04:10or maybe have to trade them.
04:11The Panthers are too trigger happy.
04:13Like they, they just flip on the dime immediately.
04:16Yeah.
04:17They just do not let things play out.
04:19If things don't go right, then they immediately switch.
04:21I, I think this team is good enough.
04:24I think they have a good enough coach.
04:26They have a good enough tap talent on the defensive side of the football.
04:29I think they can run the football.
04:31Well, I don't know what these wide receivers are because.
04:34Your passing game is anemic.
04:36Now I will say that you drafted one overall and then fired the head coach
04:4110 games into the season.
04:43Like you didn't even give them an opportunity.
04:45Like you didn't even,
04:46you barely gave them a chance on a roster you knew was devoid of talent.
04:49This is because David Tepper is a horrendously bad owner.
04:53That's why bad owners create bad environments,
04:56create bad teams and bad things happen to bad teams.
04:59And Courtney said it,
05:01he has no patience and it's all about hiring.
05:03The right guy has nothing to do with his size.
05:05Cause guess what?
05:06Kyler Murray's small.
05:07They, I mean, looks fine to me.
05:09You look at Baker Mayfield, he's small, fine.
05:12Drew Brees was small, fine.
05:14There's plenty of quarterbacks that are on the size that are able to get it
05:19done in the national football league.
05:21I think it's about, and I, we, we said this all the time.
05:24If you don't have the right coach in place to give that quarterback
05:30some stability.
05:31If the quarterback just doesn't have that it factor,
05:34then it's very difficult to go from one year, one system,
05:39another year, another system.
05:41And that's kind of what's happened.
05:43You did not put the right offensive line in place in front of a potential
05:48break may start like you screwed that up.
05:52But if you look at the all 22 breakdown from chime and your dating site,
05:57the line has given him time.
06:00No, a lot of it.
06:01Like if you go back and look at every single play,
06:04I'm at a stat of what,
06:06what was the middle of the league when it comes to time to throw the
06:09football? Yes. Yeah. All right.
06:11So like Greg and a lot of those pressure numbers can be misconstrued
06:15because Jacoby presets holding onto the ball so long that he's creating
06:19his own pressure.
06:20And outside of Drew Brees who won a super bowl,
06:23how many small quarterbacks have years and years of success in the NFL?
06:26We're also Wilson. Yeah. Russell Wilson won a super bowl. Yeah.
06:30Yeah. It's a bunch. Okay.
06:31With one of the great defenses in NFL history.
06:33I mean, he still had years of success. He said, yes. Okay.
06:36So to, uh, well now we got to go through the list of small quarterbacks.
06:40All right. Let me try to think. I mean, I, I just think, I mean,
06:44Doug Flutie had success. Oh, come on. He did. He was 70. Yeah.
06:49But he had success when he played in the NFL.
06:51Twitch chat says Fran Tarkenton Curtis.
06:56Superstar Fran Tarkenton, the original scrambling quarterback, right? Yep.
07:01One of the original, uh,
07:03endorsers of products, uh, on commercial television, Fran Tarkenton.
07:07Fran Tarkenton underrated could succeed in today's NFL.
07:10And I got to tell you, Russell Wilson is how old? Uh, he's got to be 35.
07:14Boy, he looks good. Better than ever. It doesn't look good now.
07:18Uh, Michael Vick was success. Michael Vick was not under six feet tall.
07:22He was like six feet.
07:24And generally when they say you're six feet, you're smaller than that.
07:27That is true. You know? So let let's, I mean, let's be honest.
07:30I'm just trying to go through the list.
07:32He's not under six feet. He is six feet.
07:34And we're going by what everybody's listed as everybody lies.
07:36It's all the same. So let's say Bryce is what's the difference between five,
07:4011 and six feet, an inch, but an inch means nothing.
07:43It's not like you watch any given Sunday.
07:46The inches are everywhere. I can see if you're going.
07:49All right. Bryce young is five, 11 in this quarterback, six, three.
07:52There's no, there's no Curtis. Do you buy into the Baker Mayfield?
07:55Yes. I'm buying a Baker Mayfield.
07:57You see Baker ripping Brady, by the way.
08:00He said they're finally happy now that he was gone, that they were,
08:03all the players were too stressed around Tom.
08:05Two is short to two is another one.
08:07I mean, the days of the short quarterback are long gone out the window.
08:11The prototype being the drew blood. So six, one for two.
08:14The six, five Curtis well aware of how helpful it can be to get an extra inch.
