It is a Patriots Monday, and we are at Chalet Stadium as the New England Patriots get ready for the Cincinnati Bengals, no Joe Burrow, and maybe no Jamar Chase.

You're without Milton Williams. We talked a little bit about that briefly with Mike Grable, but next man up, I guess, Wiggy.

And although he certainly has been a big part of why that defense has been so good this year.

So a little bit of a concern there, I guess.

I mean, it's a blow.

I'm not going to say, but I guess when you start to look at bigger pitcher things,

like more of a blow would be, obviously,

Drake May at number one, or maybe like a digs or somebody like that. I think that, you know,

they're not going to be able to replace his production, but the Tonga kid's done a good job,

and I think they've added some, you know, got some other pieces there where, like, they can kind

of hold it together until he gets back. Yeah, I feel like he has been, I think the reason you're here outside of coaching, Drake May, Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams, like, he has been that important to this team, but I don't think these games are going to be ones where they really miss them. They'll probably lose one or two of these.

That's okay.

I think they'll win the next two before the buy. They think they beat the Bengals with or without him, obviously without them. Then Monday night football against James Winston, I don't think that should be a problem. And then is it the bills after the buy? Correct. First game after a buy back here at Gillette Stadium. It does seem like we're going to get a lot of guys back this week, too.

Yeah, which works out well for the Patriots with their next toughest opponent. Yeah. Because they're home with the giant. What's the current flex situation on that Bill's game? Have we decided what they can and can't do? I don't know. I need to make plans. They're on Monday night. You have till 12 days out. I need to make plans. I need to know now. Okay. Lincoln or... I mean, I might throw a brunch or something. I mean, it's a big game. I mean, I feel like we need to know sooner than later on that. So he always tells me. They're on Monday night. Who they're playing Monday night? No. The Monday night game is against the Giants. Oh, okay. All right. So then the following week, all number of following. Then it's by and then it's... Where would they flex them to? Would they flex them on Sunday night? They might flex them to 4 o'clock. So I doubt they'd flex to 4 o'clock, Greg, just because there is a Green Bay at Denver game and a Detroit at L.A. Rams game at 4 o'clock that week. Sunday night, though, is Minnesota Dallas. I don't think they'd flex Dallas on the Sunday night football, but I mean, I guess if Minnesota continues to suck and Dallas

continues to suck, there becomes a chance. But then the Monday night game is Miami at Pittsburgh,

so that one I feel like could definitely get flexed. So they flex them out a whole day, though?

Oh, yeah, they can. After week 12. From week 12 to week 17, you can. And this would be in week 15.

But I'm asking, I'm asking you guys, you maybe, you know more than I do, have they

flexed a team from a Sunday that they were scheduled to play Sunday to a Monday?

Have they done that before?

I don't think it's, I think it's very common.

I think it's part of the new rules.
