00:31Let's start with a couple of headlines, Gregg, that stood out to me.

00:35First Gerard Mayo comes out on Sunday after a brutal game against Jacksonville in London

00:40and calls his team soft.

00:42Then he goes on the Gregg Hill Show less than 24 hours later and says, well, we're not soft,

00:46we're just playing soft.

00:48What's going on with Gerard Mayo and these press conferences and can he help himself?

00:53No, he really can't.

00:56I think, Nick, he's getting into it worse and worse seemingly every week.

01:04What he said on Sunday after the game, you just can't say it.

01:08And I understand he said that to the players before that, but publicly he cannot say that.

01:17There's nothing worse as a football player than being called soft.

01:21And I know he wasn't individually talking about it and I'm sure, you know, he meant

01:25it collectively.

01:26Obviously, we're a soft football team because, you know, we can't run the ball, we can't

01:31stop the run, we can't cover kicks.

01:33You know, I understand all that.

01:35But you can't say that publicly.

01:41You know, it's yes, you said it to the players and that's fine.

01:44And that's one thing.

01:45And I also think there's a problem with that.

01:48Basically what Gerard needed to do, he needs to take ownership of what's going on with

01:52this team.

01:53He's the freaking head coach of the team.

01:56If his team is soft, if they can't run the ball, if they can't stop the run, if they

02:00can't do any of these things, it's on him.

02:04If you have a soft football team as a head coach, you are soft.

02:07He needs to come out and say, I'm responsible for this.

02:11Obviously, it's not going well.

02:13I am going to figure out the answers.

02:15I'm going to give them the solutions and we'll go from there.

02:20But you know, Nick, after watching the film, and to be honest, like I had a hard time getting

02:25through the defensive film.

02:27I was so disgusted with what I saw.

02:29And it wasn't, here's what I would say.

02:33After watching the film, I would not call any of these guys soft.

02:36I wouldn't even use that word because it's not for a lack of effort.

02:41It's two things.

02:42Number one, they're undermanned.

02:45On offense, they're undermanned at the two guard spots.

02:48Michael Jordan, who had been a bright spot, was terrible in this game.

02:51I don't know why.

02:52I don't know if he was sick.

02:53I don't know if he was hurt or he just turned into a pumpkin because he really is a backup

02:57type guy.

02:58That's what he was here.

02:59Siddy Stowe, into the game, was terrible.

03:02So when you have, when your two guards get their lunches handed to them all game, you're

03:06not going to be able to run the ball.

03:09Defensively, up front, this has been a criticism that we've had going back to the offseason

03:16about not doing more, especially in light of moving on from Lawrence guy.

03:20Like, all right, well, what are you going to do to replace him?

03:23Who are you going to bring in?

03:24Like you can't just let it go and bring in all these undersized guys, Jeremiah Farms

03:30and Daniel Ekowale and all this stuff.

03:32What happens if Godchild get hurt?

03:34What happens if Farmore gets hurt?

03:36What are you going to do?

03:37And they're getting, they're getting a little bit exposed, but that's not, that's not the

03:41issue.

03:42So yes, they're undermanned.

03:43The bigger problem to me, Nick, is they have a coaching staff that doesn't know how to

03:49come up with solutions.

03:50Every team is shorthanded in some area or multiple areas, but it's on the coaches to

03:56come up with a plan to say, all right, we're deficient here.

03:59This is how we win this week.

04:01What I saw on film, I mean, just constant gaps.

04:05No one's in gaps, Nick.

04:07Like there's not anybody there.

04:09Christian Ellis is going out with Ingram.

04:11Well, who has that gap then?

04:13Nobody has it.

04:14Jags run right through it.

04:15There's blown coverages.

04:16There's two guys covering people like they looked completely unprepared.

04:22They look horribly coached and you combine all that.

04:26That's what happens on Sunday.

04:27And like, to me, I've just, I was, it was, it was a rough watch.

04:32I was offended for the players.

04:35It's it's on Gerard Mayo and his coaches and they need to come up with solutions or else

04:41this is going to get worse and worse every week.

04:43I thought I spoke volumes that Devin McCourty went out publicly on Sunday night and said,

04:49quote, the first thing I think of is toughness isn't a skillset.

04:52You don't need to be fast to do anything special, to be tough.

04:54The second part of that is why Gerard?

04:56Why is this team not tough?

04:58When you hear a team isn't tough and they are soft, you think, what is the head coach doing?

05:02How is he getting them ready to go?

05:04Mayo and that staff have a lot of questions to answer going in the next week.

05:08That's Devin McCourty.

05:09That's a guy who is friendly with Gerard Mayo, uh, who liked the hire and he's going

05:15out there national television saying what he said.

05:19And I think that tells us an awful lot.

05:21It's the coaching right now.

05:23It is absolutely hands down.

05:25The coaching.

05:26We'll get into it a little bit more deeper in a minute, but I did want to ask you about

05:29Bill Belichick because of course Belichick sees what Mayo said on Sunday and he's licking

05:34his chops to feast on those words.

05:37Your thoughts on Belichick, uh, defending the team being soft and going after Gerard

05:42Mayo the last couple of media appearances.

05:44Yeah, I look, I don't love that.

05:47Um, he doesn't say anything when they win or when they won in week one, um, you know,

05:53just try to be consistent.

05:54Um, if he would have said if he would have given Mayo and the coaches their flowers after

05:58week one, and then he did this, I'd be fine with it.

06:00But to, to all to do this at this point, uh, I think it reflects poorly on bill.

06:06That being said, I will say, Nick, I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm in the

06:10middle of a movie right now.

06:12It's like, uh, like crimson tide or toy shoulders or something like that.

06:17You have the deposed dictator who's been exiled, who's out of the building, but he's sending

06:22like messages to his guys, like, you know, if you rise up and there's an insurrection,

06:28then, uh, you know, it's just like, that's, that's how I took where he's like calling,

06:33you know, John Jones isn't soft and Keon white and Kyle Duggar, like all these guys

06:38and you could just see them all being like perking up like a, like a, he, they heard

06:42the whistle.

06:43They heard the, the, the siren call from the deposed leader.

06:46And they're going to be like, you know, storm the castle or something like that.

06:50It's just, uh, I don't, it, the thing is, Nick, we're not even halfway through the season

06:55and they're weeks away from the bi-week like, holy hell.

07:01Uh, the Belichick stuff, just a couple of quick thoughts.

07:04I mean, it's not that he's lying, uh, and what he says.

07:10Okay.

07:11But it is a little bit rich and look, I understand the, the history and I appreciate it.

07:16We always have to throw the caveat out there because people will lose their minds.

07:20He won six Superbowls.

07:21I'm well aware, but it is kind of rich a guy who was like what, nine games or whatever

07:26under 500 post Brady is out there just throwing, you know, Mayo under the bus for some things

07:31and the team not playing well.

07:32It's like, well, bill, it's your defense played well last year, but you did have a four win

07:36season last year.

07:38So I don't know how much I'd be puffing out my chest.

07:41Uh, the other part of it is, you know, the Belichick Saquon Barkley thing.

07:46I mentioned this on Twitter, what he said about Barkley during Monday night football

07:51about, oh yeah, the, the New York giants, uh, yet they don't keep one of their best

07:56players in house because of a couple of million dollars, they go out and pay a guard instead.

08:01And that drove me up a wall.

08:03And I had people on Twitter who look, it's my fault.

08:07I'm looking for people to, to, to use critical thinking on Twitter.

08:11That's my fault.

08:12That's not their fault.

08:13They are who they are.

08:14I'm not comparing Jacoby Myers to Saquon Barkley.

08:18If anybody is thinking that with, with no critical part of that element, okay.

08:24What, what, what drives me crazy is that's so hypocritical from bill.

08:27Like you let Jacoby Myers walk over $1 million a year when he was your best wide receiver

08:32in that room.

08:33You decided not to pay DeAndre Hopkins a couple of extra million that would have brought DeAndre

08:38Hopkins onto the team.

08:39Instead, you spent that money on giving Devante Parker, a guy who has now retired extra money.

08:45You sit there and you kind of besmirch the idea of spending money on a guard when you

08:50went out and spent a first round pick on Cole strange because you completely mismanaged

08:54the position bill.

08:55Like it's just, it's this, it's this delusional world that, that he's living in, that he's

09:00able to just throw these barbs out there.

09:02And it's like, I get it.

09:03I understand Rex Ryan does the same stuff.

09:05All former coaches do it, but it just kind of makes me laugh.

09:08It's like, uh, do you look in the mirror and see your last four or five years running the

09:12Patriots?

09:13Because it certainly wasn't always butterflies and roses there, Bill Belichick.

09:17So that's the stuff that kind of irritates me.

09:20One last thing, KJ Osborne goes on social media, shares a message that he had with his

09:27agent after the touchdown celebration against the Jaguars, where he does the whole call

09:32me motion.

09:33Uh, then you have Jalen Polk with the peace sign emoji via social media, which he deleted

09:38later, Greg, I'm sure you agree with me.

09:43But man, oh man, the wide receivers, they got to calm the hell down with this kind of

09:46stuff.

09:47Yeah.

09:48And, uh, you know, what's, what's interesting, Nick, and, and I don't know if we've talked

09:51about this and I mentioned it on TV on Sunday night, but I go back to a conversation I had

09:56with somebody in the off season, NFL source who, who knows Tyler Hughes, who's the chief

10:02wide receivers coach, Taekwon Underwood is the, the assistant wide receivers coach.

10:07And they were looking at some of the people they brought in, especially Javon Baker, um,

10:11who we all know had had issues.

10:13Um, remember we talked about, you know, I wrote that, that's that column on the character

10:18risks that this front office took more than normal.

10:21And, you know, Jalen Polk, you know, um, I was surprised that somebody, and I couldn't

10:27get specifics and I readily admitted that, but there was a, a, a front office executive

10:33who said, yeah, Polk's kind of got a red flag too, but I couldn't figure out what that was.

10:38I mean, maybe is it maturity now in hindsight, maturity, dealing with adversity, but that,

10:44that NFL source was talking about the wide receiver room and he's like, Hmm, this should

10:48be interesting.

10:49And I was like, what are you talking about?

10:50And he's like, you know, Tyler Hughes, wonderful man, family man.

10:55Um, he's from what I understand what he, what the source told me he's Mormon, which, you

11:01know, fine.

11:02I don't care what religion you are, but they were just using as an example of like, he's,

11:06you know, he's very, uh, he's very religious, very, um, straight and narrow and stuff like

11:12that.

11:13They were like, Hmm, should be interested to see how he handles that room.

11:16That room is a little bit out of control, but this is why you bring in a Taekwon Thor

11:21Underwood who, uh, was a player, um, who, you know, is an impeccable character, um,

11:28who's in my opinion, some, somebody that these guys can look up to, but, um, yeah, they got

11:32to get that straightened out.

11:33Cause it's a freaking disaster.

11:35We'll get to Drake man, the offense, but quickly, Greg, tell the fine people about prize picks.

11:57correct picks.

11:58I didn't hit this week mostly because DeMario Douglas, like all of a sudden decided to get

12:04sick and, uh, you know, barely played.

12:08Um, but like I told people, I said, I picked it wrong on hunter Henry.

12:12I said, go over on the fantasy points.

12:15And that turned out to be correct because he was a monster in this game.

12:37What'd you think of Drake May's performance, Greg?

12:40I was, uh, I was impressed with Drake May in this game.

12:44And this is an example of why you have to be honest when you're grading these players.

12:50So you can see like where they are making progress.

12:53And for all the people who got mad at me last week, because I gave Drake May a C minus and

12:58he didn't grade out way or well for me, I do not take that back at all.

13:04And in fact, Drake's performance on Sunday reinforced exactly what I thought in week

13:09one.

13:10I thought he was, I thought he was much improved.

13:13I thought he, I only had him leave in the pocket early once, um, look, was it perfect?

13:19No, he still has some accuracy issues.

13:22Um, you know, I, I thought his decision-making was better.

13:25I love his, he's so straight line, um, in terms of his emotions.

13:31Um, he, he can handle, uh, he can handle adversity.

13:36He can handle curve balls.

13:38He can handle, uh, the bullets from the other team, which is great.

13:42And it's only his second start and he's doing this, the throw to, uh, Keishon Booty was

13:48just incredible of a big time throw.

13:51He cut down on his errors.

13:53Yeah.

13:54He had two near interceptions, um, and which I marked them down for because those should

13:58have been interceptions.

14:00Um, but for the most part, I thought he played really well.

14:03And in fact, I would go so far as I thought with what was going on in the game.

14:08And then this is another example, Nick of the coaching staff, not, not adjusting, not

14:13having solutions to what's going on in this team, especially in real time.

14:18Um, I would have let, I would have let Drake sling it around, um, especially in the second

14:24half with what was going on.

14:26You know, I, I didn't have a huge on rewatch.

14:28I didn't have a huge problem with what Alex van Pelt did other than that one drive with

14:33the hasty run from minus one, the Hunter Henry screen from minus four.

14:38Like that was, that was a horrible series, but the big problem was they only had one

14:43possession in the third quarter.

14:45And by the time they got possessions in the fourth quarter, the game was largely over.

14:48So, uh, I, I was very impressed with Drake may, I would say I would have him in the B

14:53range in this game, but this is what you want to see.

14:58Nick, we talked last week.

14:59I said, he was making plays.

15:01You want to see him maintain that or get a little bit more, made a few more plays in

15:05this game, check Mark.

15:06You want him to see the, the, the mental errors that those decisions, the minus plays

15:12go down, check Mark.

15:14Uh, and so, and he took care of the ball better in some respects.

15:19Uh, so to me, I thought it was, uh, it was a great step forward for Drake.

15:23May showed a lot of improvement.

15:25Steve varsity and how he handles it stood out to me again for the second straight week.

15:29You've got no run game, absolutely zero run game.

15:32Uh, your offensive line is shuffling again because you lose Leighton Robinson early in

15:37the game.

15:38Uh, your best receiver who would have been an absolute great matchup against this

15:43Jaguars defense, Jaguars, the worst defense in football heading into the weekend against

15:48slot receivers.

15:49Now you have a limited pop Douglas, the one guy that you feel like, all right, we can

15:53get the ball to him and he did great last weekend.

15:55So limited pop, no run game, shuffling up the offensive line.

15:59First game in London, you're, you're in, you know, your internal clock is a little

16:03bit off all that adversity stuff for him to overcome.

16:05It is impressive.

16:07As far as AVP, I got two problems with AVP, actually three.

16:11Number one, from the, from the scripted plays to the rest of the game, there's a

16:16huge difference.

16:17Screams to me of a guy that goes into the game with time to plan and prepare for the

16:23first 12 to 15 plays and has a clear idea how he wants to utilize his talent, make the

16:28most of his quarterback situation, et cetera, et cetera.

16:32Then when the game is, as you said, real time and he has to adjust within the game, I

16:36think he's been mostly brutal.

16:38I thought on Sunday against the Jaguars, look, I understand the run game was an issue

16:42because of the offensive line.

16:44My problem with Van Pelt is that he didn't do anything creatively to get the run game

16:49going.

16:50He kept doing the same thing over and over and over again.

16:52For the most part, I'll give you an example.

16:54There weren't any toss plays.

16:56There weren't any pitch plays.

16:57There weren't any jet sweeps.

16:58There weren't any designed runs for Drake May that I saw.

17:01There weren't bubble screens to wide receivers saying, Hey, look, we can't run the

17:04football in early downs.

17:06So let's replace the run game by throwing a bubble screen.

17:09Like we did the Kendrick Bourne against the Texans to try to get some good momentum.

17:13There was absolutely none of that.

17:16And that's on him.

17:17Like you keep running into a brick wall and you expect the brick wall to crumble.

17:22It's not going to crumble.

17:24So do something.

17:25How about pony formation with both Gibson and Stevenson in the backfield?

17:30How about you try?

17:31I know we had at least one snap, maybe a couple snaps in the pistol formation when you

17:34have the running back directly behind Drake May.

17:37How about doing that?

17:39The lack of the idea of we're going against the Jaguars who have been God awful

17:43against mobile quarterbacks and you don't really, you know, call any designed runs for

17:47the quarterback.

17:48That's an egregious mistake by the offensive coordinator, especially when you're trying

17:52to run the football and you can't get it going.

17:53How about you use your quarterback to get going?

17:56His knee was obviously fine.

17:57He was off the injury report.

17:59He was scrambling around.

18:01So why don't you throw a couple of designed runs by the quarterback at the defense to

18:04try to shake them up a little bit?

18:06It's like, no, we're just going to continue to do what we do and it's not working.

18:10It's insane to me.

18:11It's absolutely insane.

18:13And the final thing I'll say is lack of creativity, Greg.

18:16I mean, we talked about it before the game.

18:18This defense in Jacksonville is very undisciplined.

18:22No trick plays, no nothing.

18:24No, again, outside.

18:26I thought the first drive, the first couple of drives and I tweeted this, I thought they

18:29were really good.

18:31And I thought Van Pelt on the third down, first third down of the game, he actually

18:35helped both tackles on the play.

18:37Good job, Alex.

18:38Good job.

18:39But then after the first 12 to 15 plays, they fall off a cliff and he looks like a

18:43dude who's playing Madden for the first time, searching through the playbook, having

18:47no idea what he's going to do.

18:48So it's an issue and he better get better over the next couple of weeks because I'm

18:54about my wits end with with Alex Van Pelt.

18:57But there's more because the defense also has to be talked about and Demarcus

19:00Covington. But first, Greg, we'll tell you about game time.

19:03NBA season is upon us.

19:06And by the time you probably listen to this, the, the Celtics have already raised the

19:09banner and Nixon going crazy, you know, raising his own mini banner.

19:15Celtics at Celtics shirt today.

19:17I'm ready, Greg banner night, baby.

19:20And I'm sure at some point this season, Nick's going to be there in person because

19:24to really experience the NBA, you got to be there in person.

19:27All the sites, sounds, celebrities, all that stuff.

19:30Green teamers, and you got to get the game time.

19:33Game time is the best way to get to the game.

19:35They have a feature called game time picks, filters out all the fluff to show you only

19:39incredible deals on great seats.

19:40So you don't have to waste time searching through thousands of tickets.

19:43I love the all in pricing toggling.

19:45This feature shows the total up front with no surprise fees at checkout.

19:50They have panoramic views right there from your seat.

19:52So you could check it out.

19:53That's a must for me.

19:54I won't buy a ticket without it.

19:57Take the guesswork out of buying tickets.

19:59Take the guesswork out of buying tickets.

20:00And remember, we told you, if you want to go see the Celtics, maybe in Washington,

20:05really good deals on there.

20:06Just take the train down, go see the Celtics, whoop them, and

20:09then come back home on the train.

20:11Take the guesswork out of buying tickets with game time.

20:25What time is it game time?

20:27We know the problems on defense.

20:29They can't stop the run and they got almost no pressure on

20:33Trevor Lawrence in London.

20:36Greg, what could Demarcus Covington do as you sit there?

20:39You talked about real time, lack of adjustments.

20:41Just give some, give the people out there listening, watching an idea as to what

20:45Covington could try to do to try to fix some of these problems.

20:51Well, the first thing that I would do, Nick, and we, I think we sort of talk

20:55about this on offense, but, um, uh, they need to simplify what they're doing.

21:01Um, I know they're getting down there in depth.

21:04I mean, you know, for example, like, you know, they're getting run on and, you

21:07know, Marte Mapu's out there, like faking, like I'm going to be here, but

21:11then dropping into coverage, like, what the hell are we doing?

21:15Go play freaking defense, just getting the four, three or the three, four, or

21:19what have you, and just go play football.

21:22And when that was happening, the 17, 18 straight runs, you know, as a coach,

21:29Gerard Mayo needs to get on the horn and say, look, enough's a freak enough.

21:35All right.

21:35Getting goal line.

21:37If they want to throw it, they throw a touchdown.

21:39I don't care.

21:40They ain't running anymore on us.

21:42You know, there are things that you can do.

21:43You can shoot gaps.

21:44You can call run blitzes.

21:46You can get into the bare front, you know, the 46 and say, this

21:49is where we're going to play.

21:50And they're like, if you have confidence, this is what I don't get.

21:53Like, you know, with their cover guys that are good, Gonzalez and the Jones

21:57boys, and we've talked about this before this, like, why don't they get into

22:01more, you know, zero coverage and just start sending people, um, you know,

22:06this, the biggest problem, Nick, with this team is they don't, this

22:11coaching staff has no answers.

22:12They have no solutions to what's going on.

22:15Um, and, and it's, it's leaving the team doubly short.

22:20I mean, and look, Mayo is responsible.

22:24I mean, he should be insulted.

22:25He should be embarrassed that it's the biggest problem on this team right

22:29now, because of what Drake may is doing is the defense that it's the

22:33defense is the middle of the defense.

22:35The defense is his baby.

22:37He used to be an inside linebacker, like that's his position.

22:40And now they are getting an embarrassed because of it.

22:42And all Mayo does is point at the players and call them soft.

22:46Like it's not going to go over well.

22:49Evan Lazar wrote about this, but their base personnel is getting

22:52murdered and, uh, they continue to stay in their base personnel.

22:55It's on, uh, what are we doing?

22:59What are we, Covington was supposed to be the coordinator

23:02that was ready for this.

23:04What are we doing?

23:06Uh, I know you got to run to Felger and Maz in a couple of minutes here, Greg,

23:09but let me ask you this first quickly.

23:13Yes or no.

23:14Do you know if Gerard Mayo has been involved with the defensive side, uh,

23:20going into like last weekend, first six, seven weeks of the season, has he

23:24been involved more on the defensive end or has he been doing the whole CEO thing?

23:30Uh, I don't know that answer.

23:32Um, I, I will know more by the end of the week, I think, but my inclination

23:38is to say that, um, he's, he's been taking the scenic route that he has been,

23:44uh, contracting out everything on this team has not dug into the details.

23:49And that's what we're seeing on the field.

23:51I mean, because like, no, look, Nick, we talked about it after the dolphins game.

23:55You know, he, he said, there's no question.

23:58We're tough defense and special teams played well enough to win.

24:02And we talked about it.

24:03I said, what the hell game is he watching?

24:05They just got run on by the dolphins.

24:07The dolphins ran seven straight times to score against you with Snoop

24:10Huntley, a quarterback, and they, they played crappy on special teams.

24:14They played crappy on defense.

24:16Like he's not, he, he, he doesn't know what's going on with his team.

24:19And now three weeks later, now he's calling him soft.

24:22No, if you knew what was going on, if you weren't just, I don't know.

24:25I mean, does he watch the film?

24:27If, if you cared about your team, you would have said enough's enough right there.

24:31Like he would have been real about his game.

24:34Like he would have been real about his team and gotten a fix.

24:37Then he has no solutions.

24:38That's why they're a mess.

24:40Is it time for him to take more responsibility on the defensive side and

24:43give, and give McAdoo and AVP and say, that's your offense.

24:47I'm not going to be more involved defensively.

24:49Yep.

24:50I, yeah, I mean, I, he needs to be involved in everything, but.

24:55Uh, you know, if he wants to get, if he wants to get fired, he'll

24:57keep doing the CEO report, you know?

25:00And, and I do not think that he is assured of year two.

25:03It better get better by the end of the season or he could be in trouble.

25:07So that means he, if he needs to step in, he needs to step in.

25:12That's interesting because I've gone off the thought of Robert

25:15Kraft will never get rid of him after one year because he has way too much.

25:19Uh, to prove and the whole Belichick stuff, but that's interesting.

25:22All right, before we get to Greg, uh, who stood up, who stood out and who didn't,

25:26uh, check out BSJ 50 bucks for the year, but Dargi already, they do a great job

25:29with the Patriots coverage, of course, Corrales gets it cranking

25:32with the Celtics tonight.

25:33You also want to download the prize picks app today.

25:35Use code CLNS, get 50 bucks instantly when you play five and then take the guesswork

25:39out of buying tickets with game time.

25:41Again, that code is C L N S for 20 bucks off your first purchase.

25:45Who was good?

25:45Who wasn't Greg?

25:48Uh, let's go three up on offense.

25:52Uh, Hunter Henry.

25:53That is great.

25:54Drake may number two, DeMontre Jacobs PFF killed him with four pressures.

25:59I didn't have much for him in this game.

26:01I also thought Ben Brown was good.

26:03I'm not good on offense.

26:05I mean, the whole defense you can put in there.

26:07I mean, the, the linebackers to Vi, um, Christian Ellis, Devon, God,

26:14chow Marte map, who they stunk city.

26:17So, and Michael Jordan were horrible.

26:19And of course you have Jalen Polk.

26:23It's like groundhogs day.

26:24This, this podcast this season so far, hopefully it all changes.

26:27Uh, Greg and I will be back later in the week.

26:29He's going to run the Felger mass until next time.

26:31Be well.
