00:00Yeah, look, Greg, it's pretty simple. I mean, uh, Drake May is really good.
00:04And, yeah, there's some mistakes. That very last interception, too, what I think a lot of people don't realize
00:09is everybody's like, oh, that was Bailey Zappi-esque throwing into double coverage.
00:12Actually, it wasn't double coverage. It was never supposed to be.
00:15That, uh, that safety was never supposed to be there.
00:18However, if you watch the replay, uh, Kendrick Bourne fell flat on his face running his route,
00:23which would have helped the safety down lower, and that pass might have actually been completed.
00:27But, because Kendrick Bourne fell flat on his face, Amani Hooker could come off that route,
00:31work his way back up the field from out of Drake May's vision into Drake May's vision as soon as he threw the football.
00:37And, so, look, he still put it 60 yards on a rope to ask him to throw it, you know, 15 more yards downfield.
00:44That's a high ask of just about any quarterback in football.
00:47And, uh, without him yesterday, you have no offense.
00:50He accounted for all but 15 of your total yards yesterday.
00:54Yeah, he over, like, over 300 yards, basically, himself.
00:57Yeah, he's one of only two quarterbacks, Greg, in the NFL this season to have thrown for 200 yards and run for at least 90 in a single game.
01:05The other guy, of course, being Lamar Jackson, uh, who did it in the opening game and has only done it once.
01:10And, so, like, Drake May is fantastic.
01:14Unfortunately, with Ben Brown all of a sudden, you know, two weeks into his, uh, Patriot career,
01:19getting holding penalty after holding penalty.
01:21Jeffrey Simmons was eating his lunch yesterday.
01:24Uh, you were losing out on big plays.
01:27Drake had a couple 20-plus yard runs called back due to holding.
