00:00So you're not concerned about his availability in the Super Bowl?
00:04No.
00:05No, I'm not concerned about his availability.
00:07I'm wondering about his level of performance.
00:10That's what I would be wondering about.
00:12I think he'll be able to play State in the game.
00:15He's got 10 days, but, you know, it's his right shoulder, and he's a quarterback.
00:19So.
00:20If he was dealing with something now, my understanding was whatever he was dealing with wasn't so significant.
00:25That it was limiting him in practice before the Denver game, or it was limiting him.
00:30In games, in terms of, you know, needing time.
00:33But there are.
00:35Throws on his record now, and I don't know this, nobody's told me this, but over.
00:40The course of this postseason, there have been throws that I've looked at and said, ooh, that's a.
00:45That's a throw he usually makes.
00:46That's odd that he missed that throw into the flat short.
00:50Or, you know, there were throws in the Denver game before and after he got.
00:55Where he was just sort of missing low.
00:57Now, the weather was awful, right?
01:00So that's part of it, too.
01:01The defenses are good.
01:02Maybe he's trying to protect receivers, but, you know, it's hard to.
01:05It's a pruder film every single throw and say, well, oh, clearly his shoulder's bothering him there.
01:10I don't know that, you know, could be footwork, could be weather, could be whatever.
01:14So.
01:15Oh, could be bad route.
01:16Guy runs a route a yard short.
01:18So.
01:19So.
01:20But if you're not able to put whatever RPMs you're accustomed to putting.
01:25Putting on the football against a defense that's as good as Seattle's.
01:28That, to me, would be a problem for the Patriots.
01:30Patriots offense.
01:30So let's see.
01:31But then he threw the flea flicker perfectly to Hollins, right?
01:34And then.
01:35Like, two plays later or whatever, he tries to.
01:37I don't know how long it was after, but his next throw was to Keyshawn Booty on.
01:40An out route, and it was very clearly short.
01:42Yeah.
01:42So.
01:43The flea flicker is more.
01:45More of, like, a lofted high arcing throw.
01:47The throw to booty was sort of a throw that had to be driven.
01:49Like.
01:50You know, again, now we're getting into, like, the weeds here, and I'm theorizing, but.
01:55If he can't spin it the way that he's accustomed to spinning.
02:00And against the best defense in football, not ideal.
02:03Safe to say.
02:04Yeah.
02:05And you wonder how much 13 days off improves that.
02:10You know, we're under this assumption, well, I got two weeks off.
02:13Like, everything will get better.
02:15And again, with these, if you have a weakening in your arm or, like, you're, you don't have.
02:20The power you had to have, it doesn't sound like 13 days, everything's going to heal up and get back.
02:25And you're going to get the strength back, but we don't know what it is, so we will see.
