We got you only for another hour. We are the pre-game show. Patriots at the Lions night, the third preseason game. Beetle and Gasper got your coverage starting at four and then Sosie and Zoe, obviously, with the call starting at 7. Hurley, what interests you tonight in this game? I want to see Mike Gillisley in the offense because they got him, they went, you know, offer sheet him, stole him from the bills, the poor bills can't keep anyone that they want. And it's just sort of been assumed that he'll be able to step in, pick up the offense, and be the guy that they need to carry the ball. And you kind of got to, you want to see it. He was absent for a couple of weeks with the hamstring injury and, you know, let's see it with the starters with with what that offense kind of looks like because i know how much you

love the game of their offense. If you go to buy the carries last year, Blunt had $2.99. The next is Dionne Lewis with 64.

So it's a big role. I don't think they're going to ask Gillesly to just swap in and do what Blunt did. He's going to catch the ball more than Blunt did. But, you know, I want to see how that works, how that fits and how it looks, you know, even just a couple series. Yeah, fair enough. What else? Well, that's the big one.

I mean, I want to see how Mountain Butler.

Don't, don't.

Please don't.

Let's get into the fifth guard. No, I want to see Malcolm Butler's response because this is a guy who's entering his fourth year, right? Yeah, fourth year. He's been paid about $50 so far, and he's due to make $25 million if he has another good year. And, you had one bad night last week it happens but he was he seemed pretty upset about it and I want to see how he does whether he gets Golden Tate or what's his name? Marvin Jones. I don't know which one he's going to get but let's let's see that kind of bounce back because the corners are supposed to be a strength of the team and obviously And obviously it was a tough one last week for Butler. Joe, you got anything? Yeah, I actually, Malcolm Butler is somebody I'm truly interested in. I think he's going to struggle against taller receivers. Last year, Logan Ryan, he handled that very well. Well, now it's a flip side. You know, Gilmore is now on the other side covering the best guy, Butler on the other

side. But for me, it's Jimmy Garoppolo. It always will be with preseason football games.

You know, that bad turnover last week got pulled from it. I want to see, you know, mentally,

how does he bounce back from that? That's what I want to see tonight. And does he play with the

ones? Is he going to play with Brandon Cooks, who I want to see a little bit more of?

I just want to see how he bounce back after that mistake. I'd rather see Bill put in Brissette after Brady. Just to jab Jimmy a little bit. I'm just curious, just general, overall, if Bill has a feeling about the team through the first month of camp, you know, and if he doesn't love where they're at. We're going to see him a lot tonight because I just think he does that when he, or I've seen it in the past anyway, where when they haven't been in the right spot or they haven't, you know, progressed the way he would have liked, he'll play him in the third preseason game into the second half, he'll play him in the fourth preseason game. And I think tonight will be a tell because it's from the outside, it's been hard for me to really tell.

They had a mediocre camp?

You know, like I... the fourth preseason game. And I think tonight will be a tell because it's from the outside, it's been hard for me to really tell.

They had a mediocre camp? You know, like, I wonder, like, I sort of get that sense at times. But then, you know, on the other hand, it's just Bill could totally be managing them because they're coming off a late season and they're just taking it easy and they don't need to have a good camp. I don't know. So I just think overall how Bill handles all the reps tonight,

will tell me something like that.
