This, what are you doing that stupid trickery crap for?

Is Felger and Mass?

The continued issue, uh, on 985.

Unbelievable.

The Sports Hub.

All right, Murray, finish up.

All right, so with the Texans, he gets, uh, Brian Horrie gets that job by default that year. They started with Ryan Mallet for like the first five games. Then they went back and forth between him and Brandon Whedon, but he gets it towards the end because he was the least terrible option of those two. But more importantly, that 9 and 7 Texans team that year, did you know? Because I looked this up to help my argument. Their defense, of their nine wins, six of those, they held their opposition to 10 points or less that year. So their defense was like, you know, it was J.G. Watt, obviously, who actually had a healthy season. They were out of their minds and playing in a terrible division because some of those were, you know, six points. They're holding the Titans to a couple of times, the Jaguars. Jim. James. I'm still taking him over C.J. Bethard, Brock Osweiler, Colt McCoy, Deshaun Kaiser, Mason Rudolph at this time, Lamar Jackson at this time. I'm still taking him over all those guys. Well, this is why. I don't care how good the Texans defense was.

This is why if a forward-thinking organization wanted to hire me as a GM, they would be right. Because I'm right with this list. You were wrong. I think he's a fine backup quarterback. I think you're in decent shape there. I mean, look, I always liked Hoyer as a backup. I don't think he's a starter. but I also think there were some good young quarterbacks in the league now

that are intriguing as backups, and I'll take my chances there. And there are some other guys that I'd even put ahead of him. You'd think a nine-year... Where's Chad Henney, for example? Is he still Jacksonville? No, he's somewhere else. Kansas City, maybe? Is he behind own? I think that's a good backup. Henning's a good backup. Tom Savage, good backup. Like, you know, guys like that, you know, to me, Hoyer has slipped some here a little bit. But that said, you know, the Patriots are in the upper half. Have you taken a really good look at some of the backup quarterbacks on the league?

Oh, my God.

It's unbelievable. Oh, my God, they're wretched. Some of her absolutely god-awful. I mean wretched. Okay, but I think the actual starting quarterback situation in the league is fine, trending to, like, really interesting. And I want to get to that later on in the show. But it's a reentry Monday, so we can do whatever you want.

Red Sox, we'll get to later this hour.

You can call us on it.

We have thoughts in the show. But it's a reentry Monday, so we can do whatever you want.

Red Sox, we'll get to later this hour.

You can call us on it.

We have thoughts on the golf.

As always, you can call us on that. We started with Patriots, and so we will continue with your thoughts on the Patriots. Here's Sean and Marble. Go ahead, Sean. I had two thoughts on Sony and Michelle.

So there's a trend where running backs are becoming more prevalent in the game,

ones that can run, catch, and block guys like Todd Gurley, Levy on Bell.

Like, you're seeing runbacks, and rather than finding guys off the scrap heap

and keeping them for a year or two and having to find four guys every year hoping one works out. This might just be Belichick looking at it and say, you know, let's bring a guy in and see if we can keep them cheaper than Todd Gurley at $16 million or leave me on Bell at what he's going to be at. That's one thought. The other thought is, what if Belichick looked at the team this year? Looked at Brady being a diva. Looked at the offensive line losing your left tackle. Looked at the defense and not having linebackers. And what if you just said, I need a running back or else this season's just going to be absolutely miserable because we won't be able to control the ball all year. We'll get our brer ends kick all season. If he felt that, I think he's wrong.
