00:00Adam, we've seen a nice little uptick pretty much for three straight weeks here with the Patriots offense.

00:05If you kind of ignore the turnovers in the Steelers game, they moved the ball really well, made some plays.

00:10And I'm wondering, do you think that is Drake getting comfortable in Josh's offense?

00:15Or do you think Josh might be getting more comfortable with this new age quarterback that he has

00:21that is a lot different than some of the guys he's had in the past?

00:25Well, maybe it's a combination of both.

00:26You know, I don't know if I've said this, maybe I have, and forgive me if I have,

00:30but I'm in two fancy football leagues, and the quarterback of both my teams

00:33and the quarterback of my daughter's fancy football team is Drake May.

00:36So, you know, the Schefters believe in Drake May, for the record.

00:39And we're happy to see this uptick in production, and we certainly are rooting for more of it,

00:46especially Sunday night in Buffalo.

00:49But I just think it's a combination of him getting comfortable in Josh's offense,

00:53Josh getting a better feel for him.

00:55And when you talk to the people in that organization, you know,

00:58the sense I've gotten is that, you know, they feel like he has the chance to develop

01:02into a special quarterback.

01:03He's young.

01:04It's just starting out.

01:06It's early, but he's got a chance to be really good.

01:09And he's played well.

01:09He's played well.

01:11But he's got to keep building upon that and get better and better.

01:14And I do think Sunday night is one of these big stages that he'll have an opportunity to have

01:20every now and then.

01:21And, you know, the Patriots are like the designated one-o-clock team.

01:24But they're on a Sunday night.

01:25It's a rare, maybe the only, primetime game for them right now.

01:30And it's a chance for Drake May to show the whole country, hey, you know,

01:36you're warranted to pick me up on both your fantasy teams.
