00:00Burrow might play, I guess.

00:02Yes.

00:03So I asked this early in the season,

00:06but I think it deserves a second question here

00:09over halfway through this season.

00:11I would take everything the same,

00:15Drake May over Joe Burrow from now

00:17until the end of their career,

00:19without hesitation.

00:21And I think if Burrow plays this week

00:24and it'll be a tighter game,

00:25this makes sense.

00:25Shyam and I noted last week

00:27how strange it was

00:28that it was a five and a half point spread

00:30for the Patriots,

00:31given that they're a much better team.

00:33This means Vegas probably had some insight,

00:36but either way,

00:38from now until they stop playing,

00:41without a shadow of a doubt,

00:43I would take Drake May over Joe Burrow.

00:45Is it fair to call Joe Burrow injury prone?

00:49Not at all.

00:50I mean, yes, it is.

00:50It is totally fair.

00:53It's fair.

00:53Yes, I think you said unfair all day long.

00:55And I'm not really tripping about Joe Burrow

00:57because Joe Burrow's best player is not playing.

01:00And so you're getting a guy who hasn't played.

01:02Honestly, I'd rather that Joe Burrow plays

01:05and you win the football game

01:06and then you shut the schedule people up.

01:08Like, enough of the schedule people.

01:10They are constantly calling the show.

01:12They are constantly DMing me.

01:14Their whole entire intent

01:17is to diminish the accomplishment

01:20of this football team

01:21and Mike Vrabel and Drake May

01:23and everything else.

01:23So I'd rather that Joe Burrow plays on Sunday

01:26and you beat him out there with Joe Burrow.

01:28Well, if I had to choose...

01:29Shut everybody up.

01:30If you had to choose Joe Burrow

01:33who hasn't played in several weeks

01:35without Jamar Chase

01:36or Jamar Chase

01:38who's been playing every week

01:40and tearing it up without Joe Burrow.

01:42I would rather face the Joe Burrow

01:44rather than saying,

01:46all right, no Joe Burrow,

01:47it's Joe Flacco and Jamar Chase

01:48because Jamar Chase can kill you.

01:50I think Joe Burrow's going to take him some time

01:52to kind of knock the rust off.

01:54He doesn't have his number one receiver.

01:55So if he plays,

01:57fine with me all day long.

01:58Yeah, and a bit of a cautionary tale

02:00I think on how important it's going to be

02:03for the New England Patriots going forward

02:05to make sure they continue

02:07to shore up that offensive line

02:09because Joe Burrow has not had the advantage

02:12of having a great one.

02:14Right.

02:14And you do not want Drake May

02:17to get hurt at all.

02:19You've got to have,

02:20you've got to continue to invest

02:22when it comes to that offensive line.

02:24And if I'm Joe Burrow,

02:25I probably don't play.

02:27You're three and seven.

02:28The likelihood of you making the playoffs

02:31is probably slim to none.

02:33After this game,

02:34you've got to go to Buffalo

02:35and you've got to go to Baltimore.

02:37I just think like,

02:38I think this is a lot of smoke and mirrors

02:40because, you know,

02:42without Jamar Chase,

02:43it's like,

02:43do you really want Joe Burrow

02:44coming back to a game

02:45where it's like,

02:46you got no,

02:47you don't have his best weapon.

02:48He's coming off injury.

02:50You have no shot of making the playoffs.

02:52I mean,

02:53is it worth risking him for that?

02:54It sounds like it's what he wants.
