Welcome and everyone to be on the beat with 32 beat writers. My name is Zach Haiduk and today as you can see it is just me our friend Matt is down on some tropical island sipping some pineapple or coconut

flavored drink of some kind. He's got the week off this week at least as much as we could give it to him over here and you just get me today. So we're going to keep it a little bit short and sweet. We're going to go through a couple of bits from the

beat just to give you some information heading into the week here before your

fantasy match-ups on Sunday so we're not going to hit every bit of news if you want a large

comprehensive list of shows that you can listen to earlier on in the week especially. Make sure to check out the player profiler feed of

podcasts where you can find us now located as well. Happy to have you in here. We are

live today so if you have any questions, please do feel free to put them in the comment section.

Thank you to the Harry Snowman, who has already got us started here.

Yes, indeed, welcome to the party.

So if you got anything else, please put it down in the chat.

All right, let's just go ahead and get started here.

We'll start off with our main segment,

trying a new sound effect until we find what we like here.

We got some bits from the beat.

So let's go ahead and start with the most obvious thing here that

y'all might be wondering about and that is Patriots. Quarterback Drake May is

starting now the Rookie 3rd overall pick. Obviously this was reported widely in the national

media as well, but according to Evan Lazar, I wrote a, or I wrote, I read an article that he posted just today. You should go check that out at

Patriots.com by the way Evan a friend of the show very very good at what he does.

He wrote about kind of what we can expect from that offense with him involved in Alex Van Pelt the offensive coordinator there

I'll just say this

I've talked at length about the Patriots and all of you know that I'm a fan and so I do try to not talk about them too much
