00:00all right good morning so i was thinking about this and i said i'm gonna ask the room a question
00:06take out drake may remove him from your answer who when you look at this football team now that
00:15we have otas today and you know a lot of people were kind of getting back into football who's
00:19the one guy that you have huge expectations for this season for this team to go to where it needs
00:26to be okay because i know like a big step forward or a guy that you thought was going to
00:32be great
00:32already no i got the guy that you just look at and you go he needs to have a big
00:38year for this team
00:39to really take that next step will campbell i i have two but i my first was going to be
00:44curtis
00:45so i was going to say will camp okay like need it you know you got to protect drake may
00:49you got it
00:50drake needs to you removed him but he needs to stop fumbling the football needs to be able to
00:56hold on to the football but also i have high expectations for what travion henderson can
01:01that's the guy i had on my list i was gonna say yeah i travion henderson for me and i
01:06wrote that
01:07down is the guy that i think really will take this team obviously to that next level because we know
01:15the importance of this offense when they have a player that has the skill set that he has and how
01:22valuable that player is whether it's james white whether it was you know kevin falk when i played
01:27whether it was deon lewis we saw danny woodhead like there's just so many guys that who have that
01:33skill set and travion henderson i think when you took talk about athleticism is at the top of that
01:40list when compared to those guys that we talked about name wise just physical ability to me he is
01:48the guy this year that i think has to take that major step for this team to you know get
01:54over
01:54that hump and and obviously that offense being taking that next step to that next level i think
02:00that entire 2025 draft class is going to be fascinating because in the immediate aftermath
02:05everybody was like what a great draft class mike vrabel coming in has made all the difference
02:12and a lot of those guys obviously will campbell travion henderson like left a big mark on the
02:19super bowl run that they had and so i wonder when we look at them this season if we feel
02:25like those
02:26guys are going to take another major step forward i know a lot of eyes will be on will campbell
02:31because of the playoff performance and injury that he had right but even like kyle williams i think
02:36kyle williams is up so you already discount him i i think because and when i look at the wide
02:42receivers my expectations are or like craig woodson like some of these guys they're gonna look at and
02:48say we still need like really meaningful contributions the three guys that i look at is gonna be jared
02:53wilson because now they're moving him to center as obviously you talked about will campbell you brought
02:57him up travion henderson i think kyle williams is if you get aj brown he becomes just like all right
03:04there's no real high expectation fit kyle williams if he performs well great but if he doesn't he's a
03:11third round pick no big deal he might be a developmental guy because you're gonna go aj brown
03:16romeo dobbs and then matt collins pop douglas and then okay but wait wiggy just from your perspective
03:23how long can a guy be developmental as a wide receiver in today's nfl not very long because he was
03:30developmental last year right but i think if you're if you're going out and getting an aj brown you
03:36went out and got a romeo dobbs i think the expectation is okay he was developmental last
03:42year we don't have faith yeah maybe we don't have much faith but we'll give him one more year to
03:47see
03:48if he can take another step up or take another two three steps up and then let's see what he
03:53looks like
03:54going into that third year when we're probably going to maybe move on from a matt collins or
03:59we're trying to figure out what's going on where will where does he fit into the offense faith rejoin
04:05from limp biscuit maybe tom for me i thought he was gonna say george michael i mean aj brown seems
04:11like a done deal i we've been talking we've been talking yes it does i'm so tired i know brown
04:16let's
04:16just get let's get him once he gets here then it's a done i mean don't you think they would
04:20have taken a
04:21wide receiver in the draft if they weren't so confident that they were getting him no because
04:26i think they went with romeo dobbs like i think it was like oh we'd love to have aj brown
04:31we don't
04:32know what the price tag is going to be when it comes to draft picks but i think you do
04:36know you're
04:36gonna have to come up a first round draft pick question is whether or not you want to do that
04:40and then i think they're looking at it do we want to do that come off that that draft pick
04:46have to pay some money or do we think romeo dobbs can give us more than what we got from
04:54steph diggs
04:55because he's younger but don't you wonder if the reason why booty is disgruntled is because he
05:01basically has been told that they're getting aj brown i i don't think so because what if another
05:09i think it's related no no i think the real i think it has to be related i think it's
05:13related
05:14because he he hears the the aj brown stuff and he sees the romeo dobbs if you're just hearing it
05:22you're kind of a dumbass if you're not going to show up at any point and show a little bit
05:26of
05:26interest in participating in team activities well he's trying to he's trying to shoot his way out
05:31of here yeah once they sign romeo dobbs and then he has the whispers about aj brown i think he's
05:36like well let's say a team like the rams goes all right we'll give you a we'll give you a
05:41better
05:41offer do you think the patriots is still going to get aj brown i it just seems like the giant
05:50cacophony of voices they're saying it's a done deal are are correct about it but i i don't know i
05:56mean
05:56we have to wait till yeah the only voice i heard is adam schefter well we got one coming up
06:01uh during
06:02they said it and i think a lot another one and i think a lot of these voices are only
06:06making the
06:06connection because vrabel coached them in tennessee you think that's all it is i'm not hearing anybody
06:12else even talk about it like there's a team every once in a while there's speculation that somebody's
06:18interested and then they're no longer interested it's like compare it to what is going on with
06:24yannis right now like every team in the east is apparently in on yannis you open up twitter x or
06:31whatever and it's like guess what miami's on yannis boston does yannis wants boston but does
06:36boston want yannis yannis may be a nick like we it's every team compared to like aj brown yeah
06:43the only updates we get is another week goes by and it goes still looks like a done deal for
06:48the
06:48patriots yeah i agree with you i i i definitely agree with you you think it's just that they work
06:54together in tennessee you don't think that there's been actual conversations that they they've come to an
07:00understanding that the second it's able to be done he's coming here i mean we talked about it
07:04yesterday philly went out and and stocked up on wide receivers yeah i think philly's moving on
07:09from him like i know philly is moving on from i'm just saying if there's another team who decides
07:13to come out of nowhere that gives you a better offer that team will get aj brown what would prompt
07:19that do you think well i think there's like like a rashie rice situation with the chiefs for like a
07:25day
07:25maybe uh maybe over the weekend or last week it was like okay chiefs are in on them but then
07:31they're not anymore so i don't i just don't think it's i think the patriots have i mean i want
07:38to
07:38believe all these we need some kind of a signal on monday morning from gillette stadium like can you
07:43affix some kind of a batman light to the uh lighthouse the new lighthouse smoke that comes out of the
07:48chimney yeah like when they have a new pope like we just need to know monday morning 6 a.m
07:53we need a
07:53signal from can you arrange that with stacy james i will maybe some kind of a siren right that goes
07:58off and the entire region is aware that aj brown is a new england patriot we need somebody to tap
08:04back into the seaport and see what's going on with the the crib him and his i can't do that
08:08i have
08:09no sources in the seaport
