00:00look romeo dobbs has been the biggest zero addition to this offense yeah i really i really
00:06thought he was going to be a major contributor to this team look the aj brown injury is significant
00:11and i don't think you can just gloss over the fact that the patriots spent the whole summer
00:15building their offense around aj brown and aj brown's now going to be out for another three
00:20to four weeks my problem with where the patriots are right now is that it feels like they can't
00:27lean on anything like your point last year when the offense was sputtering or struggling they
00:32leaned on their defense they were one of the most difficult defenses to run on last year
00:36you can run on this patriots defense sure they have christian gonzalez but on the other side
00:41teams are taking advantage and throwing away from christian gonzalez and taking picking up you know
00:46some pretty good yardage by throwing opposite of him the tight ends are eating against the patriots
00:52consistently and there is no pass rush to speak of whatsoever they can and this was known going
00:57into the year the one spot they did not address was an edge rusher if their defense doesn't play
01:04better i don't know where they're gonna be i mean that that's the offense is one thing and drake may
01:10is a big problem but are you surprised that the defense for the patriots has been lit up the way
01:14it's been lit up for three weeks i was worried about the run defense coming into the season so i'm
01:19not
01:19absolutely shocked by the run defense the rest of it like in the in the fact of like their past
01:26defense out of outside of christian gonzalez has kind of fallen apart carlton davis has been
01:29has been good but he hasn't been fully healthy like he missed one game he was back last week and
01:35he didn't look amazing so you know i i think the defensive fall has been very precipitous and in
01:43some ways surprising and not surprising both in the same breath um the other thing that that i i will
01:50point out here too is outside of the drake may of it all are you happy with the uh the
01:56job mike
01:57vrabel is doing right now i don't did the offseason kind of leak into the regular season no i i
02:04i i gotta
02:05no i i'm not there i i'm not on the diana rossini distraction tip i think this team team's roster
02:12is a problem i think that this is a team that is devoid it's devoid of talent this is a
02:18roster that
02:19was not built to withstand one injury and the one injury was aj brown and it feels like the if
02:26it
02:26feels like the the team just built everything around one guy and then when that one guy went down
02:30they're like uh what the hell do we do right now because the offensive line's been okay it hasn't
02:36been bad something their fault will campbell's not been a problem when he was out so you know
02:41so i i just i the the pass rush their defense has to be where they until this offense figures
02:47itself out and aj brown comes back that's where i would if the defense doesn't play much better
02:52and if buffalo hangs 50 on the patriots on sunday then i think that yeah then i will go on
02:57vrabel
02:57and go you know what you're a defensive guy you're supposed to be on the defense
03:00fix the defense because that's a bigger problem to me even with drake may and all the criticism
03:05and all the hype around him it's the fact the patriots defense is giving up 30 plus points a game
03:09is my is my bigger concern going forward for this team i i don't i don't disagree with a lot
03:15of that
03:15real quick i will agree with the chat and i was going to bring this up in my whole entire
03:18ran here too
03:19you think they'd like to have stefan digs back right now huh i think i think booty i think booty
03:26i think
03:27booty is a bigger concern to i mean digs is great and all but
03:30i i mean stefan digs over the fact that they thought that that dobbs could play that position
03:37that that's my point about talent evaluation and roster contract construction it's like
03:42you chose romeo dobbs over stefan digs why what what did you see what did you think you were getting
03:50when you brought him in over digs is it just the off the field stuff he didn't like what digs
03:55was doing
03:56off the field and that's why because talent wise i'm watching him on the commanders and i'm like
04:01holy crap that's what digs was last year he's just as good if not better after the acl injury now
04:06and the patriots could really use stefan digs like really really use and then and then booty over the
04:12top they have no one taking off the top of the defense and booty was that was part of the
04:17allure of
04:18drake may the deep ball now why did you get rid of case on booty for me okay the because
04:25he wanted
04:25out he wanted out but the other side of that is we can all and this isn't revisionist history we
04:31can
04:31rewind and remember the preseason that kyle williams had that made booty expendable right so again let's
04:39go back to present day where the hell is kyle williams in this office i don't they have they haven't
04:46for whatever reason josh mcdaniels believes that kyle williams actually is going to be a productive
04:51nfl player and the last pick that was thrown but the last pick that was thrown by drake may
04:56kyle williams just stopped running he was running the route and he just stopped and the db undercut
05:02the route and was the the was the third or the fourth pick whatever it was for drake may it
05:06wasn't
05:06drake may's fault it was kyle williams fault and it's like that kid just is not right he's yeah i
05:12don't
05:12i don't know i'm very confused
05:13i don't know i'm very confused
05:13i don't know i'm very confused
05:13i don't know i'm very confused
