00:00Hello, Ty Law.
00:01What's going on, guys?
00:02How you doing?
00:03Happy birthday.
00:05Happy birthday.
00:06How old are you?
00:0752 years young.
00:0852, that's it?
00:09I thought you looked older.
00:11I mean, that's great.
00:13Everybody say I look good, like I can still play,
00:15even though I know they lying.
00:17They're just trying to make me feel good.
00:18I'd be on the wrong end of the highlights right now.
00:20Could have used you.
00:21Like them.
00:21Could have used you on Sunday.
00:23I could have did that.
00:23No, I couldn't because Christian Gonzalez,
00:25he played his butt off, man.
00:28He did.
00:28I mean, he's the real deal.
00:30I mean, he's the top two, three corners
00:32in the National Football League.
00:34The defense, we talked about it yesterday,
00:36zero, really zero issues with the defense.
00:39I mean, they gave up some yards on the ground,
00:43but defense was fine.
00:47Explain it to me.
00:48We were talking about this earlier.
00:50Explain it to me like I'm five,
00:53why they were unable to pick up those blitzes
00:56throughout that football game.
00:58Well, the simplest answer I can give you
01:01is belt to ass.
01:03That's what happened.
01:05Seattle Seahawks put a belt to the Patriots' ass
01:07and they couldn't do nothing about it.
01:09When you're talking about picking up a blitz,
01:11a simple blitz, especially from a DB,
01:13a lineman, you're supposed to stick your hand out
01:15and knock him down.
01:16You're getting pressure not only from DBs,
01:19but the front four.
01:20It's like, I mean, Will Campbell, that's not a good look,
01:26but he's a rookie.
01:27So I guess you can give him somewhat of a pass
01:29because he's young,
01:30but they need to get Dante Skarniecki back in the building
01:33and the offensive line needs help.
01:35But that was just a total mollywap, slicing.
01:39I mean, you can use so many adjectives to describe
01:43the lack of aggressiveness, performance, adjustments,
01:48you know, from the, I don't know if you say
01:50from the coach's side,
01:51but you still have to go out there and play
01:53and they played with no physicality.
01:55They were absolutely,
01:57they didn't have an answer for the Seattle defense at all.
02:00You know, and I'm thinking by the time you go into the halftime
02:02with adjustments and everything,
02:03because we're known for adjustments around him.
02:06Josh, he'll figure it out.
02:08He couldn't figure it out this time.
02:10There's two reasons why you don't pick up a blitz.
02:12First one is because the other team confused you
02:14and you just were confused.
02:18Or the other reason is they bring more than you can block.
02:21But that wasn't always the case though, Wiggy.
02:23Sometimes it's one-on-one.
02:25If you can't win a one-on-one battle,
02:27that's a new problem.
02:28Yeah, that's a one-on-one.
02:28But I'm saying when you're letting guys run free,
02:31when they're blitzing, then there's either you were confused
02:34and you have-
02:36Well, how are you confused when the wide receiver
02:38is pointing it out?
02:39Listen, you-
02:41I gotta say, it's-
02:43I mean, it comes down to the player at some point.
02:46Right, the one that the wide receiver was pointing to,
02:48Pop Douglas was pointing to the guy,
02:50that's one on Drake because they brought more
02:53that they can block,
02:54so you have to have a hut route built in.
02:57And Drake, Pop was on his left, pointed him,
03:00and then at the snap of the ball,
03:03Drake looked right.
03:04It felt like that at that point though,
03:06because that was what, second half?
03:08No, that was early in the game.
03:09That was early in the game.
03:10It was like the second drive.
03:11Second, okay, but he had started spiraling by that point
03:14already in my mind.
03:15Like Drake may consider-
03:17For me, Drake all season never let anything rattle him,
03:20even if he wasn't playing well.
03:21It seemed like after that first series,
03:25he was rattled and there was no coming back from it.
03:27And even in-
03:27Once you got to the second half,
03:29he looked like he had given up.
03:31Like it looked like to him,
03:32he knew that there was no coming back from this
03:34and he had no answers for what the defense was throwing at him.
03:37And I think he lost,
03:39maybe lost a little bit of faith in himself
03:41because he lost faith in his offensive line.
03:44He knew that his timing was off.
03:45He knew that he was not getting protection.
03:47I don't know what he's seen out of his guys in that huddle,
03:51but you know what?
03:52Something was off.
03:53And you have to be able to protect the quarterback.
03:55I think I've said it all week prior to the game.
03:58He has to be protected.
04:00That is going to be where they win and lose the game.
04:03It's going to be with the offensive line.
04:05And that's exactly what happened.
04:06Do you have questions like Curtis does perhaps about him going forward?
04:11No, I don't have any questions about Drake May.
04:13And again, he's a young guy.
04:15It was the second youngest quarterback ever to start a Super Bowl.
04:19So I think we're all disappointed.
04:22I think the team is disappointed.
04:24They don't want to hear this.
04:25But the reality is the season is not a failure.
04:28It's a failure because you went to the Super Bowl and you lost
04:30because it was right there in your grasp.
04:32But no one expected the Patriots to be anywhere near the Super Bowl.
04:36For those guys to flip a season, you can look at this as a success.
04:40So how do you build off this?
04:42How do you get better if you're ever in this position again?
04:44And I think that they're going to address it in the offseason.
04:46They need to get, again, Dante Skarnick, if you're listening,
04:50get your ass up off the couch and come on and help these boys.
04:54They need somebody else in there to help them.
04:57They're going to drag him off the pickleball court.
04:59Exactly.
05:00But the season is a success.
05:03But now the issue becomes the expectations before the season are going to be,
05:09you need to get back to the AFC championship.
05:13So I think that's going to be the thing that it's going to be interesting,
05:16how they deal with that type of success now moving forward and losing.
05:23Because let's say you don't make it to the playoffs or a perfect example.
05:27What was it like?
05:29Because I was in 0-2 after you win the Super Bowl
05:32and then the next year you don't make the playoffs.
05:34Weren't people like, what the hell is going on?
05:36Yeah, you're like, what's going on?
05:38But at the same time, you got a Super Bowl.
05:40You won a Super Bowl.
05:41When we lost the Super Bowl, I think the expectations was
05:44we were going to go back again the next year.
05:46Yeah.
05:46You know, we were going to go back again.
05:48And we were fortunate.
05:49I always use the story of Dan Marino, one of the greatest to ever do it.
05:53He went his rookie year.
05:54Who wouldn't think that you're going to go back three, four more times?
05:57He never went back again.
05:58So nothing is promised.
06:00But you look at this team, the way it's constructed from the top down,
06:05they're going to have more chances.
06:07But when you get in this situation, come on, Wiggy, you got to let him hang, bro.
06:12You got to go out there and play ball.
06:13Christian Gonzalez, we ain't got to worry about him no more.
06:17I was sitting there really saying, is he going to go out there and follow,
06:20what's it called, NBJ or Jackson, Jim, Jim, or whatever.
06:24Yeah, Jackson Smith and Jim, hey, man, he did his thing.
06:28So we know we got something on that defense right now.
06:31Offensive line, that has to be addressed.
06:33I don't know, from a talent standpoint, a cohesion standpoint,
06:37they have to be on the same page as a quarterback.
06:40You did not want to make Drake may have to run the ball,
06:43and he didn't use his legs as well as I thought he would.
06:46So the lights were a little bright for him, but he has a bright future,
06:51and I think that they're going to be a great team,
06:53and we have a lot to look forward to here in New England.
06:55We got a lot to look forward to, guys.
06:57It's not over.
06:57We're disappointed, but I'm excited about the future.
07:00Yeah, to me, I'm hoping this.
07:03And this is what I'm hoping the future brings.
07:06I think you have to address a legitimate playmaker in the wide receiver group
07:11that defenses have to go, all right, we need to know where this guy is all the time,
07:15and at times we might have to double him because it'll make it easy.
07:18You're going to have to address the offensive line issue because I agree.
07:21Don't you have to address that first?
07:24Like, what does having a legit playmaker do for you if your quarterback is, you know,
07:32running for his life and getting killed?
07:34You can't blitz.
07:35If you got a legitimate playmaker, it's very difficult to blitz because I might have to put two guys to cover this guy,
07:41and I can't blitz the way I want to blitz because I don't want to leave this guy on an island.
07:46But what about the Seattle team who didn't blitz all that much?
07:49Like, they pick and chose where they blitz, but a lot of the pressure came with four guys.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Well, then that's guys getting cooked up front.
07:57Right.
07:57I mean, football is pretty simple.
07:59I like to challenge people say, what is the most important play in football?
08:03I know Wiggy, no.
08:04What would you say, Coco?
08:05What would you say?
08:05The most important play.
08:06The most important play in football.
08:09I'd have a hard time answering, Curtis.
08:11Come on, Curtis.
08:12You're usually coming with it.
08:13I'm usually coming with it.
08:14Most important play?
08:15Yes.
08:17A dive, a run down the middle.
08:18No, first down?
08:19No, the quarterback center exchange.
08:21Can't do nothing without that.
08:22You can't do nothing without that happening.
08:23And then the second most important play, to get that going, you got to block.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Because guess what?
08:29It ain't no Tom Brady.
08:30It ain't no Ray Lewis.
08:31It ain't no Ty Law, Jay Rice.
08:33Nobody getting those stats if that play don't work.
08:35You don't play football.
08:37And after that play has worked, the offensive line has to hold up so it can develop.
08:41And so the most important things, that's what happened with the Patriots because they
08:46are not blocking and they can't run their plays.
08:48Yeah.
08:48Would you move Will Campbell to guard?
08:52That would be something to consider.
08:54But again, he's a rookie.
08:55I mean, he got drafted that high for a reason.
08:59Of course, we don't see it right now.
09:02Yeah.
09:03Right.
09:03But again, I'm not an offensive line, so I really can't critique it like that.
09:06Wiggy, you played on offense.
09:07I think he's got one more year at left tackle.
09:10And if he struggles again, where he's just getting...
09:13Because there was plenty of times where he's just getting beat one-on-one.
09:17And if you can't hold up one-on-one at left tackle, then...
09:21Well, they need to get Matt Light down there to give him some tips or something.
09:24Could it be, though, that he played much differently after the injury?
09:27Like him coming back from that injury, he would never look the same.
09:30Yeah, but there were plays where he was getting cooked from the jump, so it wasn't even the injury.
09:34He got absolutely torched on one play by Devin Witherspoon.
09:37Everybody saw the blitz coming.
09:39He was prepared for it.
09:41Came off, and Devin Witherspoon just shook him out of his boot.
09:43And it has nothing to do with the injury.
09:45Like, you know, when you're getting...
09:46I'm just saying, like, maybe mentally, like him coming back, it just wasn't the same.
09:49He seemed like a different player before the injury after.
09:52I mean, that could be, like, because confidence is key, right?
09:55He seemed nervous, didn't he?
09:57I mean, you saw him walking in there yesterday.
09:58He looked like he was seeing ghosts before they even...
10:01Because his confidence was shaking.
10:03His confidence was shaking.
10:04But, dude, you could see the difference in him, the way he's moving,
10:08and then the athleticism of the guys that he's going against as far as with the power and the speed.
10:12So, I don't know if that's the right position for him.
10:15But we ain't going to use no damn injuries right now, and the Super Bowl is no excuse.
10:19We don't talk about it after you hurt.
10:21If you're out there, damn it, you got to play.
10:23Did it bother you that he wouldn't talk afterwards?
10:27No, because I wouldn't talk.
10:28I wasn't even trying to hear nobody talk after that performance.
10:31I see it, and he...
10:33First of all, who the hell want to hear him talk after that performance?
10:36Well, I think a lot of people.
10:37What could you say that's going to make us feel better about what happened after what we've just seen?
10:43Nothing that you can say.
10:44We already seen it.
10:45You can't tell us nothing.
10:46I don't know.
10:46You got Drake out there showing his heart the entire time.
10:50Drake was out there showing his heart the entire time, you know, answering all the questions,
10:53and that must have been tough for him.
10:55Yeah, but that is the quarterback.
10:56That is a part of his job.
10:57That's a part of the contract with a quarterback.
11:00Don't nobody give a damn, and it's unfortunate because there's some great offensive linemen
11:04that just don't get the recognition that they should, and don't nobody want to talk to them
11:09any other time when they don't give up any sacks.
11:11So when you do, now they want you to step to the mic, but he was at a no-win situation
11:17because he would have stepped to the mic.
11:20Man, we don't want to hear anything you got to say.
11:22He would have been like, I'm trashing me.
11:23Yeah, exactly.
11:23That's it.
11:24I was absolute ass on them.
11:26Exactly, exactly.
11:27Now, if he would have came out there and said that, we wouldn't have been like,
11:30oh, that's the way, man.
11:32He stood up there like...
11:33It's the last show.
11:34It's the last show.
11:35It's your birthday.
11:35You get one.
11:36All right, yeah.
11:36There we go.
11:38We got to take a break.
11:39Oh, yeah.
11:39But Ty Law is here on his birthday, and we'll be right back with more from Ty Law
11:44on a Ty Tuesday at WEI.
