Transcript

00:00how good can this team be this year i think they can be solid i think they could be certainly

00:05light years better than they were a year ago and i do kind of put a lot of like the win total thing

00:12on the schedule and because i know that the argument can be made the other way where well

00:17when the raiders and the steelers and the panthers and the browns and the titans play the patriots

00:22they're thinking all right here's our chance for a win so like i'm not saying they're this world

00:26beater team i kind of think they're closer to like the 2021 patriots where they can have a solid

00:33regular season maybe you know mike rabel and his defense can sort of beat up on some of the bad

00:38quarterbacks they play they somehow grind their way to the playoffs and then they're the team every

00:44year there's one or two teams that you're like they're quote-unquote a playoff team but they get

00:48demolished in the playoffs yeah like the 2021 patriots tomlin steelers for the last five years yeah i

00:53think it could be that like i could see them getting into the playoffs then it's like all right here's

00:56lamar jackson you're like damn like well it was a good year you made it we don't have yeah yeah

01:01like i still have high hope and i know like listening to the uh like heart and and ted yesterday

01:06they're like taking wins away by the minute they're like this team's way worse than than we thought

01:11that it was although andy hart also thinks they're going to win more games in october than the red

01:14sox so that's maybe so is he down on both it's a neat trick he's trying to throw the needle on

01:20both he wanted chapman to win mvp yesterday so oh i i saw cy young votes he wanted mvp he wanted mvp

01:26votes i'll throw him a vote yeah i get 10 i get 10 right 10 votes i think that's how it works yeah

01:30you get you get 10 names on a ballot you'll give them one of yours i'll give them one of my 10 i

01:34gotta as of right now the season's not over these yeah these mvp votes are fluid yeah similar to tears

01:40i'm gonna see how roman anthony finishes then i'll change it but no maybe maybe this is going to come

01:45back to bite me and they're going to win six games but i just don't see it i think they're going to be

01:49smarter i think they're going to win games on defense i think they are going to be able to run the ball

01:53i'm a little worried that with a team that doesn't have a huge room for error i don't have

01:58a lot of confidence in the kicker not to go full kicker talk but i said this yesterday you're like

02:02they're going to lose a game because of the game and that stings because you you they're you're going

02:07to play a lot of close games right like uh mayo is even puffing his chest out about the close games

02:11you know they lost almost every close game i think they win more of the close games than they lose

02:16but that is sort of a a part of it that i'm not super confident
