What's up everybody?

Welcome into the next Pat's podcast.

I'm Phil Perry coming at you from Gillette Stadium where the Patriots are fresh off.

A massive 17 to 3 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Of course, I'm kidding.

This game doesn't count, but it does matter.

That's what Gerard Mayo likes to tell his team ahead of the preseason.

Apparently, it doesn't count, but it does matter.

And so let's treat it like it matters, especially here on the next Pat's podcast for young Patriots players, primarily their first and second year, guys.

And we have to start with Joe Milton.

It was the Bazooka Joe show late in the third quarter, into the fourth quarter.

And so let's spend a little bit of time breaking down his game before we get to some stock up, stock down, a little bit of stockwatch, the podcast version for you here later on the podcast.

But you have to start with Joe Milton when you're talking about player of the game or takeaways from this game, especially for the young players, four for six for 54 yards with a touchdown, no picks,

a massive 134.7 quarterback rating, obviously a small sample,

but he also carried the ball five times for 22 yards.

And there are three plays in particular that are worth discussing from Joe Milton's night.

Number one, where he's able to show off the obvious, the athleticism, the instincts,

the playmaking, panache that he brings to the table, where he must have covered about 60 yards on the ground.

He only picked up 12 on the play.

I'd say only.

It was about as impressive a 12-yard run as you'll see in week one of the preseason in the fourth quarter.

Right?
