00:00So considering the arraignment tomorrow, considering the end of season allegations in or rather the postseason allegations in another another
00:09off field incident, and then considering the drama with the party boat and Cardi B, and he's always in the
00:16headlines, it seems, for as many of the wrong reasons as the right reasons.
00:19I'm still team Diggs, as in I think he would be a net positive for the 2026 team.
00:26If he was such a big part of helping Mike Vrabel establish the culture, if he was such a unifying
00:31element on field, on the sideline, and like Stan just said a moment ago, in the locker room, with this
00:38culture now firmly established, with the groundwork of the 307 days, which Mike Vrabel reminded the media and players alike
00:45as they exited the field following their big loss in Santa Clara on Sunday,
00:49to then say, well, you know, we appreciate that, but we're going to go in a different direction.
00:55We're not really sure, Stefan.
00:56We appreciate you helping us lay the found work and help get the frame of the house up, but now
01:01that the house is built and we're ready to inhabit it, yeah, you don't get to stay here anymore.
01:05I just feel like that would be disingenuous to what Mike Vrabel worked so hard, along with players and tone
01:11setters and culture builders like Stefan Diggs, to have done this past season.
01:15And you think about the way that this offseason operated, how every one of your captains from 2024 was dismissed
01:22either during the offseason or as part of trades as the season went along.
01:26There was so much effort, almost an overcorrection in effort from Vrabel, the coaching staff in the front office, in
01:33order to make sure the right voices were being heard the loudest in the locker room.
01:36And I think that Stefan Diggs' role that we talked so much about here is a direct result of some
01:43of those moves that was made.
01:44So you're right about that from the establishment and the continuance of a strong culture here in New England.
