00:00I feel better and better about this matchup as the week goes along, to be honest.
00:03I like that they're underdogs.
00:04I like that people still kind of believe in Aaron Rodgers.
00:08I like that Vrabel, when asked the question about winning back-to-back games,
00:13is like, look, I'm not a part of any of that.
00:15I kind of like the whole way he's approaching it.
00:17And the further we go along this week, the better I feel about this matchup.
00:20I think they're going to win again.
00:21Yeah, and maybe it's because they did look offensively so good against Miami last week.
00:27So we're still thinking just a few days ago, Drake May having nearly like a perfect game.
00:32I mean, he had very few incomplete passes.
00:34He had two touchdown passes, a touchdown run.
00:37It just felt like he was more comfortable in the offense.
00:39The offensive line was really good.
00:42And even though the game was close and it was against a very bad team in the Miami Dolphins,
00:46I don't know, there's a ton of confidence to have coming out of that game.
00:49And then you combine that with Pittsburgh getting off to the start that they've gotten off to,
00:54meaning they've given up a ton of points and a ton of yards to Justin Fields and to Sam Darnold.
01:02Who, I'd take Drake May over both of those guys right now.
01:05The Pittsburgh defense has been, and we've tried to hammer this home all week.
01:08I don't know that Patriots fans fully realize it.
01:11And the Pats defense hasn't been great either.
01:12No, no, no.
01:12Yeah, nobody's throwing them a break.
01:14But the Pittsburgh defense has been atrocious for two weeks.
01:17It's just under 400 yards of offense in each of the first two games.
01:21And then over 30 points both times.
01:23So as much as, you know, a lot of week one, the talk was, oh, Aaron Rodgers is against the Jets.
01:28And he kind of stuck it to the Jets.
01:30He threw four touchdowns.
01:31They won by a field goal.
01:32They barely won that game because the Jets offense, which nobody loves, was able to put up over 30 points.
01:39And then this past week, Seattle took it to them.
01:41And teams are doing it.
01:42They're throwing on them.
01:43They're running on them very effectively.
01:44And that's another reason why I have confidence.
01:46Because if the Patriots run early and have success doing that, it's going to make the day a lot easier for Drake May.
01:52You can look at the last two weeks as an example.
01:55Raiders stopped the run, kind of stopped the whole thing.
01:57The Dolphins never really stopped the run.
01:59And it allowed Drake May to do and the Patriots offense to do pretty much whatever they wanted,
02:04which I think is what's going to happen this Sunday.
