00:00Yeah, I think a guy doing a great job, too, as a head football coach has got to be Liam
00:04Cohn.
00:04I mean, they blew out the Patriots.
00:07If you're Mike Vrabel, you've got to be concerned about what's going on there with the Patriots.
00:10No, because, I mean, that was just really, that was built ass over the weekend.
00:18Yeah, it's been very ugly for the Patriots.
00:20And it goes beyond, a lot of people want to point to Drake May, and he's certainly a massive part
00:24of the problem.
00:25I mean, he doesn't look anything like the quarterback we saw last year.
00:28And it goes beyond just, you know, him not reading the field well, him seemingly lacking confidence.
00:34It's also just his deep accuracy has not been there.
00:37That was his greatest superpower last year, and he's just been off all year.
00:40So he's got to rebuild the confidence.
00:42He's got to, you know, focus on the short passing and just sustaining drives and avoiding mistakes and sort of
00:48build back up from there.
00:49But beyond him, they have to, you know, get more out of this running game.
00:53Their defense has been good for the first two weeks, but against the Jaguars, it really, really struggled.
00:57I know they were a bit undermanned, but the Patriots almost have to find an identity right now.
01:02Last year, it was, hey, we have a really good defense and also an explosive quarterback who can carry us.
01:07Well, that quarterback's not so explosive right now.
01:09So you've got to find a different way to win this game.
01:12I think it's going to have to be with defense and finding a way to run the ball a little
01:16bit more and using Drake May in the short passing game.
01:20I don't know how long it's going to take them to fix that, but things are not looking good for
01:23the Patriots right now,
01:24and they're running out of time to figure it out.
01:26So, Jacob, do you think Zach Taylor's the right guy in Cincinnati for Joe Burrow?
01:32I think he certainly coaches a good offense, but we've seen time and time again these early season disappointments come
01:39to pass.
01:39I mean, he started 2-0 this year to his credit, but that game against the Steelers, it just felt
01:44like things weren't operating the right way.
01:45So, I think if the Bengals endure a bumpier finish than people expect and can't really get to that contender
01:51level this year,
01:52I think you might see a coaching change in Cincinnati.
01:54I think he can get the job done, but it's been a while since we've seen that consistency from him,
02:00which is always key from a head coach.
02:03Absolutely, and, you know, I thought that was a shocker there when you were seeing what the Steelers were able
02:07to do.
02:08Aaron Rodgers, maybe a little breath of fresh air, too, for the Steelers because they get that win 30-27.
02:14And, you know, I mean, they needed that victory, too, because people were starting to say,
02:17where's the offense there in Pittsburgh?
