00:00This is going to be controversial, and I say it knowing it's going to be controversial, but I do believe it.
00:04Okay.
00:05The quarterback right now is better than the quarterback then.
00:07Yeah, it's true.
00:09Drake May in 2025 is better than 2001 Tom Brady.
00:122001 Tom Brady was kind of a passenger.
00:14Yeah.
00:15He was kind of a total quintessential game manager.
00:18Yep.
00:18Dink and dunk was the phrase that everybody used.
00:20Oh, we're just going to dink and dunk our way down.
00:22He wasn't chucking the ball downfield.
00:24Like, no.
00:25So it's, I would say that's the kind of the, that's the biggest difference.
00:29Absolutely.
00:30I think that's what makes up for their, they don't have the, maybe the defense we had, but they, the quarterback position is, he's more skilled and better than Tom was in his second year on, on that 2001 team.
00:43He's, Drake May is better than Tom was in his second year.
00:45So I want to add one more thing before we get Ted's okay to actually make this comparison.
00:50Right.
00:50The thing we talked about in your Ted talk with Travion Henderson, big play, Kyle Williams, big play, booty, like that team got big plays from all kinds of people.
00:58Like, Oh, David Patton's going to have that three touchdown game in Indy.
01:02Like Terry Glenn had his big games before he kind of phased out of the picture and became an apt Troy Brown, the punts, the special teams.
01:09That team lived off of big plays in sort of all three phases.
01:13All three phases.
01:14And I think this team has a little bit of that, certainly offensively.
01:17And you had the, uh, the big kick return early in the year and the punt return.
01:20So you've gotten some of that.
01:21I think those are some similarities.
01:22So, uh, Ted Johnson, is this comparison acceptable?
01:26Um, kind of, yeah, sort of, you know, a little bit, I think it's, I don't think it's totally too far off, but you know,
01:34What are the biggest differences that you see?
01:36The biggest differences is, I mean, I just think the defense was better.
01:39Okay.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:40The Patriots defense, I think in 2001 was just better.
01:42But the quarterback's better, you said this time.
