00:00What did you see out of the Patriots? What are you hearing about the Patriots, about how they looked in week one?
00:04So I'm just not sure what they do well. Can you guys answer that?
00:07No, yeah, that was the thing the whole offseason is, no, I can't tell you one thing they do well.
00:13I just don't know. They blitz really well. They're great at sending guys.
00:17That's about it.
00:17Are you calling a blitz or executing a blitz?
00:20Calling, calling, calling.
00:22That's the only way they were able to get to the quarterback for a while.
00:25I thought the pass rush, to me, that might have been the most alarming thing.
00:29It's like, when I went back and watched the game, how many times?
00:31They can't get home with four.
00:33Well, no, and then they would send six, and the Raiders would have six guys in the block, and they wouldn't get to Geno.
00:38Yep.
00:39They would send five, and the Raiders would only have five guys in the block, and they wouldn't get home.
00:44Yep.
00:45And I just, you know, okay, so you invested all this money in Milton Williams.
00:50Now he's getting doubled.
00:51Well, Christian Barmore should be making the Raiders pay for doubling Milton Williams, and that's not happening.
00:59I think the pass rush was a huge problem, and I don't know at this point what they do well, and I think that that's the thing is, like, what do you hang your hat on?
01:11Like, I also, like, with Drake, I thought Drake looked robotic.
01:15I thought it looked like he could see the wheels in his head turning.
01:19I just think they have to find a way to get him into a position where he can go and cut it loose and be an athlete out there.
01:28And I just look at the way the quarterbacks are developed now, and the way Josh Allen was developed, and the way Patrick Mahomes was developed, the way Lamar Jackson was developed, and it's almost always with these guys, when they are this age, then they're year one, year two, year three, you lean into what they do well.
01:48And you help them build confidence, and you get them playing fast, and then, over time, you teach them to play from the pocket.
01:58You teach them to read the defense.
01:59Is that why, like...
02:01But you can't throw it all at them at once.
