Hey, what's up everybody?

Welcome into Tom Carren's Patriots Talk Podcast.

It's Tuesday.

We're still kicking through the Patriots lost. Phil Perry right there.

Phil, you've heard the saying, you can't fix stupid.

Heard that. Okay. Generally, that might be accurate, but in the Patriots case, I think you can.

You know, you just stop with the third down penalties and the first down turnovers.

You stop with the horrendous decisions and the inattention to detail.

You stop missing tackles.

And you stop with in the moment decisions that wind up being disastrous.

Like this one right here, this is Pop Douglas, if we could throw that picture up there for the folks watching at home.

You know, I contend that Pop Douglas on if you could throw that picture up there for the folks watching at home. You know, I contended Pop Douglas on this play was in a position where it made sense to move backwards because he was no way he was going to make. He was going to make the first down. He was right there. He should have borrowed, like you said in the moment after the game. I said he didn't need to borrow. He wasn't in a position to borrow. He could have borrowed. The point remains that you have to fix it and you don't have time necessarily to pull the car over to the side of the road and have 10 days of practice. You've got to keep plowing forward. This is a point that you asked Mike Vrable about on Monday. Just to follow up quickly, I remember it was your introductory press conference. You talked about accountability and how you kind of need to know guys before you can be accountable.

Because you don't want there to be pushed back. No, I mean, I don't know if, yeah. I mean, I think you get to know guys well enough now to hold them accountable right now? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I do. But, you know, I mean, also got to try to balance, you know, winning football games and gaining yards and scoring points and, you know, all those things, right?

So there's a, you know, we just got to get it fixed, right?

And I know there's no easy fix, and the only thing I know how to do is work and we'll work at it.

And if I feel like or we'll work at it.

And if I feel like or we feel like that it's in the best interest to limit those opportunities,

then then we'll have to do that.

Phil, it's a great question.

How do they fix it while and hold people like Remandre-Stevenson accountable or Drake May while still preparing for the next game.

Yeah, I think you can, this is what makes the Stevenson conundrum an interesting one.

As good a player as he can be when he's at his best, Tom, I think you can still compete without him. I do. I think Antonio Gibson gives you
