00:00Well, what's your understanding?

00:00You mentioned his name earlier.

00:02What's your understanding to Kyle Duggar and his spot on the roster

00:07and why he is now playing with, like, scout team level

00:10and second and third team level players deep into preseason games?

00:14What's your understanding with Kyle Duggar

00:16and how it's gotten to this point?

00:19He just don't move around so good no more.

00:24That's the long and short of it.

00:25But, you know, we saw it last year.

00:30He was a liability, a literal liability for the Patriots defensively, unfortunately.

00:35And we attributed it all to injury because it wasn't in the very distant past

00:39that he was a borderline Pro Bowl player.

00:42But coming back this camp and this offseason,

00:44I'm sure that Mike Vrabel and his staff have looked at this guy

00:47even as he comes back from offseason surgery and said,

00:50yeah, it's not getting any better.

00:52And it's a large contract.

00:56We have players who might fit our scheme better

00:59as opposed to a big something safety.

01:04And it's not working.

01:06So, to me, I look at it and he's just done nothing, unfortunately, for him

01:10to stop the cavalcade of negativity.

01:17I mean, when I said it a couple weeks ago,

01:19who would you keep an eye on on Winnow and Duggar?

01:20Where it was more just based on he's an average safety or at least

01:25but he's being paid like an elite one.

01:27Now he's on an average safety and he's kind of being paid like an elite one.

01:30So, you can't have that.

01:32Are you surprised that he's even still on the team?

01:34Just because they did make so many changes

01:36and so many of the veteran players moved on,

01:38whether it was just not re-signs or whether it was, you know,

01:41sort of retirements or whatever.

01:43A lot of changeover.

01:45And they knew what kind of player he was.

01:46They knew what kind of contract he had.

01:48Are you surprised he's even made it this far?

01:51No, because he should be good.

01:53It was such a rapid decline.

01:55It's really only one year of suck.

01:57So, to me, he should be a good player for them right now.

02:01And they had to confirm that he is in decline.

02:06And maybe it's a temporary decline.

02:07And maybe he bounces back someplace else.

02:09But he's going to be a hard guy to move via trade

02:11because of the size of the contract

02:12unless the Patriots take some of the money back with them.
