Don't you dare think that we think we're superstars?

0:09.9

No, no.

0:10.6

We get kicked in the reality nuts about once a week.

Toucher and Rich, 985, the sports up.

I mean, I think things did get a little sideways, really over the last couple of months. You know, and I think it's going back to the change for Josh McDaniels. Why are we bringing in Joe Judge and Matt Patricia, when Bill O'Brien's sitting out there and potentially we could have made a runner to him? Why does it make sense to have a defensive guy and a special team's guy here? Why are we changing the offense? Why are we streamlining after all the success I had? This is sort of given the coach as an opportunity to send a message to Matt. I don't think they said to Mac, hey, listen, you're good. Don't worry about how Bailey Zappy plays. This is a chance for them to sort of send the message to Mac that you have to do things better. Like you have to, if you trust the offense, look what the offense is doing for this fourth round pick out of Western Kentucky. Watch what Bailey Zappy's doing. He's doing what we're telling him

to and watch how the offense works for him.

1:16.8

More than anything, the Bailey Zappy games have been entertaining.

1:21.7

I mean, just to enjoy three hours on a Sunday instead of just the garbage that we've been sitting through for the first several weeks of the season.

1:37.1

Yeah, I mean, and the entertainment factor has been fantastic.

1:42.6

And it is toucher and rich, and we're taking calls this morning because this is the first time where it's not a silly conversation.

1:43.4

It's a real one.

1:51.8

It's what do you do? Do you continue to ride the hot hand or do you, you give it back to, as I was thinking that the team should do on a perfect game to give it back to Mac Jones on a game against

1:56.6

one of the worst teams in the league so he can get his feet out from underneath him see if he can get

2:01.5

out there and do something and if he blows it against that team then the decision should be made

2:05.6

then you put in bailey zappy and you you let him ride because to be quite honest he's just he's he's

2:12.4

met and exceeded all of our expectations but if you put mac j Jones back in, say Bill Belichick follows your plan.

2:20.0

He puts Mack Jones in a game that the Patriots should win with either one of them, a quarterback.

2:26.1

You can't, and Max screws up, you can't then pull him out again.

2:30.2
