00:00We saw Jacoby Brissette, we talked about the offense in that game.

00:03What now, Tom, is the plan for Drake May?

00:06I know Gerard Mayo doesn't want to go there, he doesn't want to give details.

00:10There is a plan for Drake May.

00:12What's your understanding on what that is going forward and

00:16how much time do the Patriots buy themselves with Jacoby Brissette with that week one win?

00:20Yeah, Phil Perry reported during our pregame show that

00:25this past week Drake May did get more than the normal

00:29number of reps that a backup quarterback would get in preparing for a team.

00:36And that's more of an orientation, a weekly orientation.

00:39So whereas you might say, okay, this guy's going to get

00:44eight reps and Jacoby's going to get 14 or even more, 16 and 4,

00:49they're making sure that Drake May gets more reps during practices to see things and to develop.

00:56But I really do think that ideally, I really believe the Patriots would be

01:00quite happy to be five and three with Jacoby Brissette and be able to say, you know what?

01:06Drake can sit all year, just get better.

01:08We'll cross that bridge when we need to with him, and I think that that would be their ideal.

01:14I think that they are fully committed to having him sit as long as slipping possible.
