00:00Good game coming up this weekend in the NFL 1 o'clock.
00:03You have one of the hottest teams in the NFL, the New England Patriots,
00:05going on the road to take on maybe a rested and ready Buccaneers team.
00:09We're not sure if Bucky Irving's going to be back in that game or Chris Godwin,
00:12but you know Baker Mayfield will be there,
00:14and Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucs are a two-and-a-half-point favorite.
00:19But the trade deadline, Joe Ranieri, was this week.
00:22We got some information from Vrabel on you're either all in or all out at the trade deadline,
00:27but he explained it a little bit differently here.
00:30Are there any deals, and is there any measure of disappointment?
00:34Well, first I would say that deals are like being pregnant.
00:37You either are or you aren't.
00:39There's no like it's either a deal or it's not, so I don't know how close you can be.
00:44I know that everyone worked hard and that we investigated and looked in
00:51and made phone calls and what personnel departments do.
00:55We worked hard.
01:00We didn't make any deals, but here we are.
01:03I mean, you know, something might have happened, but didn't happen.
01:07You got to love Vrabel, man.
01:09Can you tell he played for Belichick in some way, shape, or form there?
01:13He should have just been like, listen, we're on to Tampa Bay.
01:16I don't know what to tell you here.
01:17I can't help you.
01:20By the way, if they win this game, New England, I mean,
01:23didn't they be thinking at the beginning of the year they would be contenders
01:25to the Buffalo Bills?
01:27They are going to be contenders against the Buffalo Bills here.
01:30Now, they're getting points here.
01:31It's a tough spot.
01:32Baker Mayfield's a good quarterback, and they're rested,
01:34but they are down some key pieces here.
01:36You take a look at their schedule coming up at this point and say,
01:38all right, they're going to play the Buccaneers, but then it's the Jets.
01:41Then it's the Bengals.
01:43Then it's the Giants.
01:44Then it's a bye, and then you take on the Buffalo Bills.
01:47And look at the last two teams they play this season, Joe,
01:50the Jets and the Dolphins again.
01:53It is realistic, Joe.
01:55They can win the division because that schedule says,
01:58where are you going to lose?
02:00Yeah.
02:01No, it's very – the only thing you've got to guard against with them,
02:04it's still a very young team, Donnie.
02:07I mean, I think this is a huge test for them to go to Tampa,
02:10who is coming out of a bye with an experienced quarterback,
02:14experienced head coach, quality defense here, getting healthier.
02:19This is a big litmus test here for New England.
02:23If they pass it, great.
02:24The sky is the limit, but I do not think they're going to pass this test here.
02:29Love you for the tour.
02:46Bye.
02:46Bye.
02:47Bye.
02:49Bye.
02:49Bye.
02:50Bye.
02:51Bye.
02:52Bye.
02:55Bye.
02:57Bye.
02:58Bye.
02:59Bye.
