00:00The Patriots travel to Cincinnati to play the Bengals on Sunday and you know between the schedule
00:05and the emergence of Drake May and Mike Vrabel getting everybody on board things couldn't be
00:10better for the Patriots everything just falls into place uh Joe Burrow coming back from injury
00:16he's not going to be ready until Thanksgiving or afterwards so no problem they're going to be
00:21facing uh Joe Flacco right Dan Orlovsky they don't even have to worry about him right he's a
00:26competitor so yes he's going to start and there's no way that he's practicing fully today what if
00:31he's not going to start on Sunday no Jamar so that's going to be obviously a challenge I don't
00:35think this defense has given up less than 30 since September you know it's pretty much the same
00:39situation as last year is it smart if the medical staff says he's good to go and the player says
00:46I feel good there he's a competitor he's going to go play so Joe Burrow a full participant at
00:52practice yesterday Dan Orlovsky among those who thinks he's going to play okay so here's why
00:58that's interesting to me we talked to a writer from Cincinnati yesterday and for the long haul
01:05Burrow coming back is certainly an improvement on Flacco but the defense in Cincinnati is so terrible
01:11I don't know what that does Hendrickson's not going to play yeah Hendrickson's not going to play
01:16and Chase isn't going to play but look the Patriots are going to be favored the Patriots should win
01:21my only thing is that if Burrow plays that that has to be some kind of bounce for the team right
01:30like that at least has to get their motivation a little bit higher than it would normally be
01:36instead of being a slog in a lost season Burrow coming back gives a glimmer of hope
01:42and perhaps I bet you Chase is killing himself for spitting on that guy and uh it gives them like a
01:49glimmer of hope you got seven games left you're sitting at three and seven if there is that glimmer
01:54of hope think you know what who's to say we can't run the table who's to say we who's to say we can't
02:00or you know maybe finish nine and eight and see what happens well nine and eight in the AFC look if if
02:07Indianapolis beats uh Kansas City on Sunday I mean nine and eight could get you into the playoffs
02:13they have the Ravens twice and Buffalo after the Patriots it's not going to happen right but I'm
02:18just my point is this and I don't think they're going to beat the Patriots my point is this though
02:24is that Burrow coming back certainly makes the game a lot more interesting because just from a
02:29motivational perspective having him back he's got to do something right yeah at this point in the season
02:36if you're Cincinnati you're probably just going through the motions now Flacco has been
02:40for the most part good they've put up points in most of the games he's played not all of them
02:46but their offense has not been a problem in most of these games but Burrow comes back and at least
02:54maybe you're getting a team that's trying a little bit harder than it normally would have been
02:57that's the only thing I can see it certainly makes it more interesting from my perspective
03:02you
