00:00how much say like has drake may reach the point where he has some say with the organization when
00:07it comes to aj brown or some kind of a weapon or no uh i i would say not yet
00:13really yeah i would
00:14say you know i think vrabel is the guy like i think vrabel knows until drake may puts it together
00:22year after year after year after year and and vrabel and him get to that point i still think
00:29it's just way too early you don't think they ask his opinion at the very least would you like hey
00:33we're thinking about maybe bringing aj brown and what do you think of the player like you don't
00:36think they even do that uh just to get his kind of like temperature on certain not with aj brown
00:42i
00:42don't think they do that with a player i don't think they're saying hey drake if anything they're saying
00:46hey we're looking at this kid you know that maybe he played with at unc you know a couple years
00:52ago
00:52and i'm not saying that that that would be the to the extent of what they would ask him about
00:57or
00:58unless he trained with some guy in the offseason but i think they're they're still both young in
01:03the sense of vrabel's young in his his head coaching career with the patriots and and drake may
01:10is still got to earn that like brady didn't earn that and till probably you know i don't know when
01:17he earned that but it was probably you know year five six seven when he got to the point to
01:22be like
01:23you know hey bill you maybe you want to do this or you know where where drake would say hey
01:28mike
01:28what about this guy i think he's just still too young and why would you guess that there's more
01:34talk than ever about aj brown's knee being junk at this point because they're probably trying to
01:40save themselves they have to come off a first round pick well did a reporter sleep with someone to get
01:46that information i don't know oh was it was it was it burt who talked about was it juju smith
01:52schuster's exploding knee yeah yeah this is i think this is a burt story too so burt was on uh
01:59tom
01:59current's patriots talk podcast for nbc sports boston and they talked about how whether aj brown's knee
02:07is concerning enough to prevent the patriots from offering a first round pick because this obviously
02:13goes back to when vrabel was in tennessee it's the reason that burt had the info that it is the
02:20reason that they that they shipped him out which everybody knows at this point but that a doctor
02:25told the team in tennessee you can in good faith give him a long-term contract with the degenerative
02:33knee issue that he has of course that bore out to absolutely not be true because he was great in
02:39philly and put up multiple what 1300 yard seasons thousand yard seasons so it's just it does make
02:46you pause though if you're going to be committed to him big dollars for three years or whatever
02:53well i guess you get two great years out of right so i guess the question would become when is
02:58this
02:58that i'm making air quotes when is this knee gonna be at the point where it's not working because to
03:04mego's point i mean he's been a thousand yard receiver pretty much every single he's been a
03:09thousand yard yard receiver every year he's been in the league except for one and that offense last
03:14year was trash and we never like looked at aj brown and go oh he's got knee issues he don't
03:20look the pot
03:20he don't look right and you know he plays in a lot of games you know so there's not like
03:25oh he's missed
03:25a bunch of games because of the knee issue so i guess the question if you're new england or any
03:32team
03:32i believe he has three years left on that deal i'll have to double check it but do you think
03:39you
03:39can like mego said get two solid years out of those three years that is the biggest question
03:45or do you feel like the knee is going to be a problem
