What's up everybody? Welcome into Tom Carver's Patriots Talk podcast. We have Phil Perry alongside. We've got a lot to get to with Patriots Seahawks. How's week two going to look?

Also, we're going to delve into the Robert Kraft Hall of Fame candidacy and the article written by Don Van Nata of ESPN.

You guys all know Phil, you all know me, you all know Gerard Mayo.

And Gerard Mayo has been very, very candid about the offensive philosophy his team will adopt this year.

This sound is brought to you by Shaw's, perfecting the art of fresh.

We're a game plan team overall, and one thing I, you know, Elliot and I agree on is that

Reminders is a very special back. He may not get all the, you know, the publicity and things like that, but this is a guy that can run the ball, fall forward for four yards every single play, catch the ball at the backfield.

Also a very smart football player.

And you want to get the ball in the hands of your best players, and I would say Romandu is one of those.

Here's what he said today when I asked him, what happens when everybody loads a box?

You'll get a chance to talk in a second, Phil.

And then we turn into a pass team.

It's all built off.

So when I say we're going to run the ball, all right, if you want to load up the box, then we'll throw the ball. And this is why I always tell the receivers and everyone else,

run the route like you're getting the ball each and every play,

because the game changes.

It changes.

One thing to sit there and say this is the game playing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,

but we have to be, I talk about mental agility and being able to really change.

We can't be rigid in the way we play.
