00:00When they needed to put this game away, on third down, they didn't run the ball.
00:06They said, Drake, you go ahead and throw this one more time.
00:10We'll give you one more chance at this.
00:12It's a third down and a five snap to Drake.
00:14He throws it to the left for Hunter Henry.
00:15He's open to the far sideline, and he slides in bounds at the 40.
00:19The Patriots able to set up a bit of a rough play for Hunter Henry.
00:23He's able to get wide open.
00:24Drake may find it.
00:26That's a ball game.
00:27Drake just babies this one out there to Hunter.
00:29I got a little nervous the way that ball was floating.
00:31But he was so open.
00:33And he stays in bounds.
00:34Game set match.
00:35Bit of a rub play there.
00:36Yeah.
00:37I don't care what it looks like.
00:39However, you in the possession before, you saw him try a swing pass that got batted down.
00:43I mean, he was absolutely in his own head.
00:47So good for Josh McDaniels because all you had to do would run the football.
00:50Atlanta was out of timeouts.
00:51You punted away.
00:52They would have gotten the ball back with, what, 30 seconds left?
00:54Yeah.
00:55And they would have had to gain about 40 yards to get in the field goal range for this kid to try one after he just missed an extra point.
01:01But also, the way they were able to throw downfield and just kind of throw jump balls, I would feel a lot better getting that first down than even giving them 30 seconds.
01:10No, good for Drake May and good for Josh McDaniels to have the trust to let the kid do it.
01:15And in reality, they win the game by one.
01:18It is the best possible scenario for the coaching staff because you won the game.
01:22But there's a lot you can look at on film and go, these are the things we got to clean up.
01:28But I don't know if you can clean up the offensive line.
01:31No, but I guess what I'm saying is, especially for May, who didn't play well and still left the gym on a make, still had that last pass where you can point at and go, okay, I still did that, even though I had a bad second half.
01:45I wonder if Booty not being in the game kind of screwed with him.
01:50And Booty's got a hamstring, so I don't know what that means for him.
01:54As we know, those soft tissue injuries are hard to deal with.
01:59Injuries are starting to happen.
02:00But now Christian Gonzalez spoke after the game, so he seems to be fine.
02:04Yeah, he said if they had indeed not got the first down, they had to punt, and Atlanta got the ball back, he would have gone in for that last possession.
02:12So just, you know, this team is, again, very thin depth-wise, and they've been very lucky injury-wise.
02:23Very lucky.
02:25And so just when Booty's gone, that kind of limits things.
02:29It's like, you can't really afford to lose starters.
02:33And so here we are, the day before the trade deadline, and you know you're thin, and Booty being out, you're right, change the offense a little bit.
02:39But everything people have told us is they're not interested in offensive players, that they're not interested in skilled position players.
02:45Diana Rossini said it again over the weekend, and look at the pass rushers one day.
02:49And then I heard Alex Barr say that they're not really interested in doing a whole lot because they're very well aware that this isn't the year.
02:55I just, I wonder, oh, God.
02:57Yeah, you're 7-2.
02:58This isn't the year.
03:00All right.
03:00Look at what happened in the Washington Commanders this year.
03:04Seasons like this just don't fall into your lap.
03:07And you've got to capitalize on them, especially while this kid's on a rookie contract.
