00:00Let's pivot into the AFC title game.
00:03Jared Stenum game, isn't it, in this AFC title game?
00:06All is going to come down to him.
00:08Yeah, 2019 fourth-round pick for the Patriots drafted by Bill Belichick.
00:14This is what I'm told by a scouting source.
00:16You like the size, pretty smart kid, can move around enough,
00:20but he's got accuracy issues.
00:23And the thing that is a problem is,
00:25because he hasn't started a game in nearly three years,
00:28yes, he got the ones this week.
00:29He took all the first-round first-team reps in practice,
00:32but that's three practices, Dan, and a walkthrough.
00:36You worry about the timing.
00:38Now, Denver, though, their defense is elite.
00:42You don't want him dropping back a lot, obviously.
00:45If you can limit his pass attempts under 30,
00:47that'll probably tell you where this game is going.
00:49If it's 25 or less, they're probably going to win this game.
00:52If it's 35 pass attempts or more, they're in major trouble.
00:57On the other side, we've got about a minute here on the AFC title game here.
01:03Do you think that the Patriots defense has been underrated going into the playoffs?
01:09Oh, yeah, absolutely, because it's funny.
01:12If you talk to the Patriots, I think they would tell you that.
01:15They don't want to say the overachieve, but the team has probably had a schedule.
01:19I think it's probably the best way to look at it.
01:20Milt Williams coming over from Philly, pressure rate has been fantastic.
01:24Not a big sack guy.
01:25Christian Gonzalez is one of the best corners of the league.
01:27I actually voted for him to be an All-Pro, or what we call one of the best corners
01:32in the National Football League for Pro Football Writers Association.
01:35Yeah, by the way, for the record, I do like the Patriots to win this game.
01:38I am surprised, Dan, that the number dropped from 5.5 to 3.5.
01:42Patriots still a favorite.
01:43I know, it's incredible to sit there, and I saw the number, too, and I'm like, wait a minute.
01:49I mean, this quarterback hasn't thrown a pass in a couple years, and the number ends up going down.
01:56I mean, obviously, too, and I love Drake May.
01:59Drake May's spectacular, no?
02:02He has been way better than probably people thought coming to that draft two years ago.
02:06He had accuracy issues, processing issues.
02:11Remind me a little bit of Josh Allen, wild thrower, very athletic, big arm, good size,
02:16but Josh McDaniels, my vote for assistant coach of the year for Pro Football Writers Association,
02:20our awards.
02:22Josh McDaniels, what an absolute great job he's done.
02:26Not a good head coach, but an outstanding coordinator and coach of quarterback.
02:28Josh McDaniels, what a great job he's done.
