0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome into the next Pats podcast. I'm Phil Perry. We've got a great
0:19.3	guest for you on this week's episode. It's ESPN's Dan
0:23.0	Orolowski. This guy is so good in terms of breaking down film in a way that we can all
0:30.1	absorb it and digest it and understand what's going on in specific moments of specific games,

1:39.4	Mack Jones has set a very, very high standard for himself through 12 weeks of his first NFL season.
