00:00I'll tell you, yesterday, the way Mayo spoke to the Greg Hill Show and the press conference,
00:05and then you get, you know, Adam Schefter said, oh, the change is soon.
00:08I thought we might have an announcement by now.
00:10Do you still think there could be an announcement sometime this week?
00:13Or is Jacoby Percet going to run it back again on Sunday?
00:16Yeah, I think there could be an announcement this week.
00:20I think there could be a decision.
00:24I don't think that that's necessarily going to happen, but I think that your read on it
00:32is correct.
00:33I mean, Mayo has said, including after the Jets game, we need to support Jacoby.
00:39We need to give him the opportunity, give him protection, give him everything he needs
00:45to succeed.
00:46And then just the obviously very different tenor of what he said Monday is clear.
00:54He is becoming, Mayo is, more evaluative of what Percet is doing.
01:03Is he an impediment to winning right now?
01:05Is he causing them to not lose games?
01:07Are there plays left on the field that he's failing to make, either because he takes acts
01:11too often, he's not accurate enough, not mobile enough, and will it be an upgrade?
01:15So all of those things enter into this.
01:17But to me, what's the most fascinating part of this, and I'm sure to you guys as well,
01:22because it's drama, there's a triangle of authority here, and there's a plan in place.
01:28Everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the mouth, but are the Patriots overreacting
01:32at the first sight of blood?
01:34That I think is what's fascinating to watch.
01:36So you wrote about this at NBC Sports Boston.
01:40It's so early in this process for this group that I would imagine they stick to the plan,
02:01which is, Gerard, it's your football team, okay?
02:03Elliot and I have this feeling, and I would be thinking that that would be an Alex Van
02:07Pelt type of thing.
02:08Gerard, it's your football team.
02:10If you tell me, as Alex Van Pelt, offensive coordinator, you want to see Drake May on
02:14the field, we'll put him on the field.
02:19And maybe Elliot Wolfe is over there shifting restlessly and saying, okay.
02:23But I think that Robert Kraft will leave it alone, because it's so early, you don't want
02:27to take a flamethrower to the blueprint you have of how your structure is going to be.
02:32That would be my inclination.
02:34I think they're all smart enough to understand, if you're going to say this is how it's going
02:37to be, to get five games in and then say, Gerard, no, we're not doing that, would be
02:42a terrible idea.
