00:00How ugly is it right now in New England? It's only three games, but things look pretty rough.
00:05It's not exactly where you'd want to be on October 1st. I'll tell you that much for sure.
00:09And I don't know the report about the rift there. I'm not doubting where that person got their
00:14information, but it doesn't seem like it's accurate when you hear what Mike Vrabel had
00:18to say about Drake May and what Drake May has to say about Mike Vrabel. But you're sitting here
00:22going into week four against the Bills, who have obviously been playing really well this year,
00:27except for the first half of last week. And you're talking about your quarterback single
00:31handedly losing you two games, which is not something you'd think you'd be saying going
00:36into the season. Yeah. Is, could it be possible the riff is like, not even like about, you
00:41know, the two individuals, but about like a specific thing. Cause what I've noticed is it
00:47feels like Vrabel and May when they're asked about the shoulder thing are giving off very
00:51different tones. So I don't know if maybe that could be the source of it, but also, do you
00:56agree with that? That Vrabel feels very dismissive about it in May is more wishy
01:01washy. I do agree with that. And I think Greg May's comments on it yesterday were
01:06pretty interesting as well, because he was asked point blank, whether or not it was
01:09hindering his ability to throw the football. And he said, no, it's not. It's more
01:12decision-making thing. And that's the way I look at it. To me, it seems like it is a
01:16problem with this decision-making. And I think the interception that he threw in the
01:20red zone on Sunday against the Jaguars, when he's throwing an Efton Chisholm, who he
01:24couldn't even see he's covered up by Travis Hunter, who turns around and makes
01:27the interception. That's a bad interception. That's a bad decision. I don't think that
01:31was hindered by his ability to throw the football because of the shoulder. And
01:34I think even going back to week one against Seattle, when they have a chance
01:37to tie the game, instead, he tries to make a throw in the end zone, gets
01:41intercepted and they end up taking the ball off and they lose the game. So I think
01:45it is more of a decision-making thing rather than the physical limitation with
01:49the shoulder. But it is interesting that they keep bringing it up. He did pop up
01:52the injury report yesterday as a full participant. Maybe that's because they
01:56brought it up and it's been a talking point and kind of have to address it.
01:59But I don't know. I don't really buy this whole shoulder thing.
