Get back to your phones in a second.

Spent a lot of time on last night's and Monday night football game, which was fascinating.

I loved.

Very dramatic game.

A lot of stuff to do a sink of teeth in two, so we'll get back to it.

But on the Patriots,

it's heading to the second half, essentially. Biggest issue facing the team, as if I asked you that, what would be your answer? I mean, to me, it's still the offensive line. And I don't think we're going to get an answer on it in the short term because Isaiah win can't play until the Dallas game.

So, you know, we'll get a better understanding of what they might do to mitigate the problem against Philadelphia.

But the fact is that if that doesn't change, So, you know, we'll get a better understanding of what they might do to mitigate the problem against Philadelphia.

But the fact is that if that doesn't change, if they don't get some stability there, because again, you tell me, but I think they are below average.

And they have to get to at least average.

Okay.

So now, how far below average?

We can debate that.

If you go by the, you know, rushing yards per attempt, they're well below. Okay. So now how far below average? We can debate that. If you go by the rushing yards per attempt, they're well below. So to me, major problem. Because the deeper you get into the postseason, the more likely you are to encounter teams that are going to be good on defense, they're more balanced, particularly in the red zone, they're going to give you fits. And so the Patriots got to get that figured out or it's going to undermine them. I do believe that. Like that, that to me is a potentially fatal flaw. So you want to talk about, well, what about their run defense? I don't think those other things, you know, a shortage of pass catchers, the inability to stop the run. Hell, even the special teams play, and I'm talking about the kicking game more than anything. Okay, those things, I don't think that those things have the potential to do them in, like the offensive line does. If they don't get that squared away, they're in trouble. It's without question the offensive line. What were the numbers that Perdard was rattling off about Marshall Newhouse? Oh my God, 31 quarterback pressures. I think he said 31 and a half.

Holy smokes.

I mean, that's just brutal.

And so, like Mass said, for the next couple of weeks, you're still going to have to deal with, or at least this game, because you've got to wait until Isaiah win is available. He can't play against Dallas. and that pass rush has been a little bit better for Philadelphia.
