00:00quarterback changes a big theme in a lot of spots on this Sunday slate in week number

00:08six let's start with the rookie the third overall pick for the New England Patriots

00:14Drake May makes his NFL starting debut on Sunday at home in Foxborough against the Houston

00:23Texans it's a six and a half point spread in favor of Houston on the road the total

00:29is minimal 37 and a half fluid I'm not sure there was ever a spot this year that you could

00:37point to for Drake May to get his first start for the pass and say yep perfect he's gonna

00:43go out there and excel I just know I don't think this is a very favorable starting debut

00:49for May against Houston yeah I'm with you on this one that I think they were gonna pull

00:55the band-aid off as at some point but as Joe and I have had an opportunity to watch

01:02Jacoby Brissett way too many times this year it isn't really all on him but there was a

01:08key play last week where they had third and long late in the game there's a one score

01:13game and he like threw it away I'm like I don't know that this is the kind of play that

01:19we want is somebody just surviving until the next down we're trying to actually win the

01:23football game so I hopefully Drake may could be a little bit more of a playmaker he's obviously

01:30more mobile than Brissett so maybe he'll be in a position where he can flush get flushed

01:35out of the pocket and and run a little bit he's not Jaden Daniels clearly but he might

01:40be able to make more plays in that capacity that said I think the only way that I would

01:45play this one is taking the Patriots under it's 15 and a half I understand it's low but

01:52I think they're going to send the house at him with him being a rookie and he's going

01:57to be able to he's going to have to make plays with his legs because this receiving core

02:02isn't really much for him I look for him to probably be checking down to tight ends Hunter

02:06Henry and that crew for the foreseeable future because the offensive line is as big a problem

02:13as Jacoby Brissett was probably a bigger one.
