00:00so i don't know how much speed he has but he is definitely a big physical receiver so i will
00:06give
00:06him jump ball situations or goal ball situations 50 50s yeah i would say 70 30 because of his
00:13his size and his ability but here's where josh can take advantage of it is kind of move him away
00:21from the x and get him more into the slot as an f or a y and get stop it
00:27i know what you're doing
00:29and get those matchups for him where he's in the slot so remember how they utilize gronk but now
00:36you can utilize a guy like aj brown in that slot running some seam routes running some dig routes
00:43you know running some basic routes all those interior routes for a wide receiver we've seen
00:48him run shallow crosses some jerk routes the options that was he's a killer he's a jerk
00:55kraut but that's where i have to have chicken for lunch um that sounds good uh so this team
01:03got to a super bowl last year yes and then added aj brown yeah is the expectation they have to
01:10get
01:10back to the super bowl i think the expectation for me has just a um minimum afc championship game
01:17because what you struggled at last year was your offense in your passing game in the playoff run
01:25you address those issues your defense my opinion still going to be good you actually probably got a
01:32little bit better because you added uh byard who's an all pro uh safety so your defense will
01:39in my opinion get a little bit better and now your offense has made leaps um when it comes
01:47to where they were last year versus this year especially your pass game and that's going to
01:52open up like i said so many other things so your run game will be better and everybody else will
01:56have
01:56more opportunity well wiggie it's interesting you bring up pass rushers and the defense because uh
02:02the rich ken and ted show our afternoon program here caught up with espn's jeremy fowler yesterday
02:08and fowler had mentioned how the patriots might not be done they might be exploring the edge market and
02:15some of the options that may be available to them here was uh jeremy fowler well you know there's
02:20josh sweat is out there a little bit you know cave on tibodeau i think would be a fit you
02:25know
02:25giants aren't really trying to trade him right now but they at least before the draft they looked into
02:29it it would probably require like a second round pick maybe a quality third round pick to get him
02:34if to make the giants at least even reconsider it because right now i think they're rolling with it
02:37but those are names that come to mind i'm just saying it wouldn't shock me if the team tried to
02:42address that position now as a final piece before week one i love it i love it but you're not
02:48worried
02:48about parting with picks like i'm not but i wiki has never not loved to trade yeah i i'm not
02:53i i mean
02:54i want the i want the the known commodity i'm not but i think they might be when you think
03:00about the
03:01patriots they just gave up a first round pick mega you think they're going to be willing to give up
03:05potentially a second round pick i would love it because all i heard at points in this offseason
03:11from people who did not want aj brown other than the knee concern was they're not one player away
03:17it was all about the soft schedule and things going their way in the playoffs in terms of injuries on
03:22the other teams and that's why they got to the super bowl so maybe they're not one player away but
03:27if
03:27you added somebody legit to your pass rush then i think you are super bowl or buff but do you
03:34think
03:34they'll so if they're looking at it that way where they say we are in a legit championship window right
03:40now we are not closer to a rebuild than a super bowl return then i think they will push for
03:45well
03:45i'm asking you do you do you think that based on what we know and how they've talked about draft
03:49picks before do you think they've already given up some for aj brown do you think they'd be willing
03:55to give up more and more being a second possibly a third round pick if you can get thibodeau or
04:01whomever right i would give up a 2027 second round pick for cave on thibodeau today i think that's
04:06yeah because you still have your first exactly you have every pick except your seventh round pick
04:11in the 2027 draft and you didn't even use your first round pick this year you kind of kicked it
04:14down the road so that's why i'm saying like absolutely you should trade a second for thibodeau
04:18def digs ends up back here no i don't think so you don't think i think they i think their
04:24version of
04:25steph digs is romeo dobbs right and so their version is all right we replace steph digs with
04:34romeo dobbs and we added aj brown i don't think aj brown is the replacement for digs i think
04:42he's the addition to what they expect this offense to be he's got like last year digs wasn't
04:50the weekend and week out focal point of this offense this year that will be aj brown and i
04:58think romeo dobbs is going to have an opportunity to really um take advantage of of seeing a lot of
05:04one-on-one coverage i've never interviewed aj brown i can only go off of what we see from his
05:10time most
05:11recently with the eagles steph digs you hear mike reese there talking about how much of a leader he
05:18was in that wide receiver room do you think it's going to be any different with aj brown the dynamic
05:23and we don't even know who the odd man out in that receiver room is going to be i think
05:26everyone
05:27assumes it's going to be kashawn because he's not working with the team right now but you got
05:31mac hollins who's also a real vet in that room like and then you still have a bunch of young
05:37guys with
05:38douglas and williams and chisholm but douglas is not necessarily a young guy any like when i say young
05:44he's not like a first or second year player i think now he kind of figures out knows what his
05:48role is i think if anything with to your kind of point a little bit mego that wide receiver room
05:54is really heavy on a veteran presence you look at romeo dobbs you brought up matt collins who's
06:01another veteran and you add aj brown there are three those are going to be the three guys in that
06:07room
06:07that are going to be pushing the needle when it comes to the passing offense well and for those that
06:12are complaining about what you paid for aj brown you're going to get something back when it comes
06:17to kashawn booty correct if you're moving him so yeah i mean i think you'll probably get a maybe a
06:23fifth six round draft pick i don't think it'll be anything spectacular you think they're definitely
06:27moving him they're either going to trade him or he's going to get cut right who's the odd man out
06:32they usually team carry if you remember like a couple weeks ago i think it was pop douglas said
06:37that he hasn't had any conversations about his deal either so they're but he's there showing up
06:43he's working like he's more of an inside guy where you look at uh kashawn booty he's an outside guy
06:51x or z whatever you want to call him mego no i wouldn't say that he's an outside guy and
06:56so when
06:56you start to look at the outside guys think about how those numbers start adding up you know i would
07:02say like matt collins is more of an outside guy than as a slot guy um romeo dobbs i i
07:09you know i
07:09haven't really done enough deep dive on the all 22 to see where he is but i would say he
07:14might be a
07:15little bit of both um aj brown what we've seen in the past he's more of an outside guy so
07:20i think
07:20kyle williams is an outside guy that they drafted with the third round pick so i think yeah maybe booty
07:27might be the odd man out this is art from walpole hello art good morning everybody what's up hey
07:34greg when i uh when i called a couple weeks ago you kind of steered a little bit at the
07:39fact that i
07:39thought the pats gonna win 12 games this year but when you add when you add aj brown to the
07:45mix
07:45and again i qualified as long as drake may is who we think he's gonna be i think 12 games
07:51with a team
07:52that's road warriors they were undefeated on the road last year i think 12 is a very realistic
07:58number what do you think now that aj brown's in the bowl this team looks pretty loaded on both sides
08:03of the of the ball here greg what do you think well i listen i don't know that aj brown
08:08gets you
08:08another couple wins wiggy thinks aj brown gets you an additional win yeah um i think with aj brown
08:15with aj brown you're the best team in the afc yeah i don't even think there's i don't even think
08:22there's okay so patrick mahomes chiefs uh he's he's back they're you're a better team than the
08:28chiefs you're a better team than the chiefs you got more talent than the chiefs chiefs traded away
08:33one of their best uh defensive backs i we still don't know what the chiefs wide receiver room looks
08:40like travis kelsey i mean say what you want to get about him the guy's washed
08:44you
