10th play of a drive to begin

A born deep in Patriot territory.

Jones after the first down run,

punks and escapes into a slide.

Yeah, and one of the, he looks a little gimpy here, getting up with that brace on.

I think that gave him some problems last week.

We have to keep an eye on that one.

He's slow to get up there, sliding on that left side.

Absolutely.

So there's that play we were talking about with Mac Jones non-contact, just very labored getting up.

I wanted to give him a little bit of the benefit of doubt that when he said during the week that that knee brace was preventative.

Oh, Mike, come on, you know better.

Well, Brady used to do it, and I think they had Garoppolo do it. That plant leg, that left leg is the one that's susceptible to roll over kind of hits, and it's how Brady tore it in the first place. And so I know they encourage it, but so I wanted to say 10% this might be true, but, you know, probably not, given the fact that he may have gotten up limping when he scrambled in week one,

and he definitely got up gingerly there.

So that all goes back to, again, Mike Lombardi, the week he was drafted two months ago when Lombardi said, I think, you know, this is a redshirt year for Mack Jones, if I had to guess.

And the first thing they have to do is get him a GPS to the locker room, excuse me, to the weight room. They got to get him a GPS to the weight room. And he's got to develop his NFL body. And so that, that I think, I'm just going to guess, was their assessment of him from day one and is a big consideration. Cam Newton's NFL ready and like, you got to factor that in there. Do they think Mac Jones can handle the 17 weeks and the,

because most rookie quarterbacks at start, Ted,

are either big guys, you know, Josh Allen,

or they can run like crazy.

Rathusberger was a rookie and beat us and he's a big S-O-B.

NFL ready body, right?
