00:00Big three. How about that for an intro? Let's go.
00:04So week one in the NFL, I thought this stat was telling.
00:09If you had a positive turnover differential, 13 and 0.
00:15Wow.
00:16Every team with the positive differential 1?
00:18Yep.
00:19So the negatives were 0 and 13, and then the evens were 3 and 3.
00:24So it literally highlights, to me, the importance, especially in week one when teams aren't operating it.
00:34First thing Christian Gonzalez said, we didn't get the ball. We didn't turn it over.
00:38So that amplifies why those interceptions and their inability to create turnovers to a lesser degree.
00:48Or dropping one. Christian Gonzalez had a clear shot at one and didn't reel it in.
00:53And Mike Frabel, right out of the gate, was mentioning this post-game.
00:57He said, we turned the ball over, we didn't get enough turnovers.
00:59We didn't get our defense to turn.
01:01He was putting blame on a defense that felt kind of off at the moment.
01:06But he's not wrong.
01:08Yep.
01:09I like that.
01:10So that's it. That's number one.
01:11And I feel like it's pretty simple and straightforward as to why the Patriots lost their last in the league
01:17at minus 3.
01:18And to go back to what Mike Frabel said when he first became Patriots head coach, he said, we've got
01:24to eliminate bad football.
01:25I'm paraphrasing, but it was eliminate bad football, and we've got to take advantage of bad football by other teams.
01:32That's right.
01:32Which is a big part of how he coaches and what he expects.
01:35He says the good, the bad, and the bleep that gets you beat.
01:39You know, and sorting through that.
01:41So number two is with Drake and just his mentality this week.
01:48I listened to him yesterday on the radio, and he said, we're on to Pittsburgh.
01:56Oh.
01:57He didn't say it like I had the dramatic.
01:59He buried the football too.
02:00I had the dramatic pauses there.
02:02But I think 24 years old, had a tough fourth quarter, felt like he let the team down, said after
02:09the game, long 10 days, like Zoe said.
02:12So you learn about how a young quarterback responds.
02:17And I think he's saying, and I do believe doing in terms of turning the page and moving forward, the
02:23right thing.
02:24But now it's like you've got to go prove it on Sunday against the Steelers.
02:30So I think that's an, you know, the turnover differential number one, Drake number two.
