00:00He has been a wildly productive player in the NFL.
00:03Like, when he's on the field, he's productive.
00:05And you could talk about, you know, how long he stays with the team
00:08or just the overall team success or whatever you want to talk about.
00:12But even as a rookie, he breaks into the league, has 720 yards receiving,
00:17and up until last year, where he only played half the year, that was the low.
00:22That would lead the Patriots in receiving every year for the last, like, five years.
00:25Seriously.
00:26Like, that's a great number, and that's half of his production when he went to the Bills.
00:29Right, since Edelman's knee went to smithereens, it's easily the best receiver they've had,
00:35assuming any health.
00:36And that was a guy that started nine games and was a rookie, whatever he was,
00:40fifth-round pick, I think he was, coming out of Maryland.
00:42So there wasn't even a ton of expectation around him.
00:45That's the low mark.
00:47So it is coming off.
00:48Like, I think it's more the knee than anything else, right?
00:50When you say, like, can you trust the guy?
00:51Like, he has been this kind of personality, this character his whole career.
00:55And those teams, maybe they have their headaches, right?
00:59They see him.
01:00They've got to control him, yelling at quarterbacks or whatever.
01:03But he's yelling at a quarterback while he's catching 100 balls for 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns.
01:08So as long as the knee is okay, now that's the question.
01:12Like, he's going to be 32 in November.
01:13So is he going to be closer to the really good wide receivers that joined the Patriots late in their careers
01:21that didn't really do much?
01:22You know, like the Joey Galloway, Torrey Holtz, Reggie Waynes.
01:26Now, Wayne was much older when he came here and didn't even make the team.
01:29But, like, guys like that that they took a shot at and then didn't make it.
01:33Or is he going to be productive?
01:35Does he have a couple – one year?
01:37Like, we don't even need to talk about the whole contract.
01:39Does he have one year in him where he can be a number one receiver?
01:43I think yes.
01:43I mean, maybe that's just me being too positive.
01:45I think he does.
01:46I think he has one more year at least of that.
01:47So can you depend on him?
01:49My answer would be I'm now back to where I started with him.
01:52Like, I think I've forgiven the both thing.
01:55Like, I wasn't sure all last week how that was going to play out and was he going to show up.
02:00The fact he was here yesterday, I'll tell you, I don't think he looked perfect.
02:03I won't go as far as Hart did yesterday.
02:05He's got a hitch in his giddy-up, and he doesn't quite look right, and he's limping around.
02:08Yeah, no, he was down on it.
02:09I thought it was, like, promising considering the guy tore his ACL
02:12on Halloween.
02:12I'll be honest, that video looked a lot better than I thought.
02:15So, like, now I'm more open to the idea that maybe he will be ready week one.
