00:00Start with head coach of your New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel.
00:02He spoke after he talked to you guys yesterday morning.
00:05He went and did a press conference and was asked about the idea
00:08of exploring options at wide receiver with all the injuries.
00:12We can hear the question and Mike's answer.
00:15AJ out in Mac now hurt.
00:17Might you explore bringing somebody else in?
00:21Sure. Anybody that can help us.
00:23We'll go explore in here shortly.
00:26All right.
00:27Okay. So keeping track, Curtis does not want Tyreek Hill.
00:33Shyam does.
00:34Doesn't care about any of the off field stuff at all, right?
00:38Just fine with it.
00:39Okay.
00:40Just want good players.
00:41I want Tyreek.
00:42You do?
00:43Yeah.
00:44Okay.
00:45I just got a text from Ninkovich, which never happens on this show.
00:50And he says it's unfair, essentially, or sends the wrong message.
00:57To Efton Chisholm.
00:59When you got a guy who goes out there and makes a all world one handed grab.
01:05And then you're bringing in Tyreek Hill and you're like, thanks very much,
01:08but we don't need you anymore.
01:09Right.
01:09But I mean, I mean that they don't need him, though.
01:11It just means that they need some help like it to put all.
01:15Do you want to put the hope of when does AJ Brown come back?
01:19Should be two weeks.
01:20Two more weeks.
01:21Right.
01:21Jets game.
01:22I think that's when he's eligible to come back.
01:24Eligible, yeah.
01:24I have no idea what his medical condition is, nor would I ever speculate about anything
01:28that I know nothing about.
01:29You are a doctor.
01:30We're not a doctor.
01:31Anywhere from what, let's call it, what, three to four weeks, Sean, just to play it?
01:34Do you want to put the hopes of those games just on Efton Chisholm?
01:36Do much in a complicated way.
01:39Yeah.
01:39And you're not asking him to come in.
01:40Yeah.
01:41And you're not saying, hey, come in.
01:42You're going to be our number one option every single week.
01:45I also don't think he'd be infringing on Efton Chisholm.
01:47The guy he would be infringing on is Kyle Williams.
01:50And so, I don't know, if you don't think Kyle Williams can step up into that role with
01:55Matt Collins now out, I think Tyreek Hill steps into that role.
01:58Well, do you think he can?
02:00I have not seen anything to indicate that he can.
02:03And so, to me, your receivers would then be, until A.J. Brown comes back, would then
02:07be Tyreek Hill, Romeo, Dobbs, and Efton Chisholm.
02:10Like, because Matt Collins is theoretically hurt, I don't know how long that injury is
02:14going to take.
02:14The guy you would be replacing is Kyle Williams, not Efton Chisholm.
02:17And the thing, that's why I said, and that's the bigger question, because they're as a staff,
02:22they're probably going, do we have faith in Kyle Williams?
02:25And if they do have faith in Kyle Williams, what you'll see them do is just add a receiver
02:30that might just be a depth guy.
02:33If they don't have 100% faith in Kyle Williams, then you'll see them bring in a Tyreek Hill
02:40caliber player.
02:41And when I say a Tyreek Hill caliber player, I don't know, a guy who might be out there
02:46that has had success and that, for whatever reason, maybe he's a little bit older, maybe
02:50he's coming off the injury like Tyreek Hill, that they would bring in.
02:53Because if they have faith in Kyle Williams, they'll just bring in another kid that might
02:58have been there in training camp just for depth, just in case one of those other guys
03:02gets nicked up.
03:03But those are the four guys we're riding with.
03:06Dobbs, Pop, Kyle, and Chisholm.
03:08And we did a...
03:09And this is Mike from Florida.
03:12Hello, Mike.
03:13Hey, good morning, everybody.
03:14What's up?
03:16So I don't understand why people keep talking about Tyreek Hill as if he's like the Tyreek
03:20Hill of old.
03:21I mean, maybe he adds something.
03:23I'm not saying he doesn't, but like, Efton Chisholm wouldn't have anything to worry about
03:29because it's not really the player that he would be, you know, kind of getting into like
03:35that kind of style.
03:36It'd be more Kyle Williams.
03:38But who honestly thinks that after that injury, Tyreek Hill is going to be the cheetah?
03:43Probably more like the Siamese cat where he's a little quick and he whines a lot.
03:48I don't...
03:49He might whine a lot.
03:50That's fair.
03:51But like, at the same time, I don't know.
03:52I keep seeing guys come back from ridiculous injuries.
03:55George Kittle tore his Achilles at the end of the season last year and just ripped off
03:58a 50-yard touchdown just last week.
04:00And he looks fine.
04:01And Patrick Mahomes looks great.
04:02He suffered a knee injury late in the season last year, too.
04:05So like, I don't know.
04:06Maybe modern medicine is just better?
04:08Is Johnny Egan available to drive him to Gillette Stadium?
04:11Probably needs that.
04:12So he does not have any kind of an incident when it comes to speed.
04:14We should check in on that before checking in on Tyreek.
04:16And you're not looking to get the Tyreek Hill of old.
04:19You're just looking to, if he has flashes and where he can make plays for you.
04:25Band-Aid.
04:25Band-Aid to get you to A.J. Brown coming back.
04:28And if you can prevent him from going to the Kansas City Chiefs, I think that's a win as well.
04:32Also, didn't we have this exact conversation when it came to Steph Diggs before last season?
04:36Great point.
04:37Yeah, we kind of did.
04:38And that worked out great for us.
04:39The off-the-field stuff, I think.
04:40And the injury.
04:41And the injury.
04:42Yeah.
04:44This is Rick in the truck.
04:46Rick, good morning.
04:48Good morning.
04:49How are you?
04:49Great.
04:50How are you?
04:51Good.
04:52Wonderful.
04:53I love your show.
04:54We do it every morning.
04:55Thank you so much.
04:56Yeah, you're welcome.
04:58I was thinking Tyreek Hill might not be a great fit.
05:02I'm thinking more along the lines of maybe Jerry Judy, who's miserable in Cleveland, who's only caught like five passes
05:09all year.
05:11I, you know what I mean?
05:12I, I don't know.
05:13So you're saying trade for a guy.
05:16Yeah.
05:17I don't know.
05:17Are they willing to part with capital to get a guy that's going to like help you till you get
05:22Matt Collins better?
05:24Unless it costs you like a, like a sixth or seventh round, like pick swap, the Patriots probably wouldn't want
05:30to do that.
05:30And I don't know why with Cleveland would want to give up depth seeing as they're three and one right
05:34now, miraculously.
05:35So if they continue winning, they're going to want receiver depth.
05:37All right.
05:38Well, Mike Vrabel did say yesterday that they are looking, always looking to add, and they were going to get
05:44to work and see what they could find at the wide receiver position.
05:49So.
05:50So.
