00:00it is our pleasure to have charlie weiss back on the show this morning hey charlie
00:06good morning how is everyone doing up there in lovely boston we are we are great how is florida
00:14uh toasty like every day toasty is pretty much the same you wake up
00:21go for my morning bike ride before before the heat gets you know really bad
00:27um the same thing every day it's groundhog day wiki's been uh on a bike of late around here
00:35yeah electric bike though that's most of the work yeah yeah you think hold it wiki
00:42stopped exercising when it was about 25 so well um wiki we were talking a little bit ago
00:53uh about the quarterback situation here and wiki believes that gerard mayo is making a mistake
01:01when it comes to coming into camp and identifying jacoby brissett as the one and when it comes to
01:10reps uh and the fact that he is uh getting more of those than drake may where do you stand on that
01:17this morning well i don't think it's close i think that jacoby clearly is number one you know
01:24i think that drake let's face it when you draft a quarterback high in the first round
01:29he's going to be your starting quarterback but i mean jacoby is just not just a guy i mean jacoby
01:36is a legit nfl caliber quarterback you know he might not be a quarterback that'll win you a
01:43super bowl but he's a he's a quarterback that can lead your team and you know where drake may
01:50probably has more talent than jacoby you know i think that the knowledge base the experience
01:57basis so there's such a wide discrepancy that i think that you're not forced to throw drake may
02:06to the wolves and just put them in there right from the start well how important is it nowadays
02:11charlie especially with the turnaround when it comes to coaches that you have to show that you
02:17can win early but how is important to have a guy that you draft number three overall and make a
02:23decision to put him and sit him down knowing that your future as a coach you know could be very short
02:30if you don't win maybe they're not going to sit him for long i mean they're just going to set them
02:38the start then see how it goes i mean i don't think i think that males in a unique situation
02:46where where where he could ease him in when the time when they think the time is right
02:53sometimes you know you you get a situation a rare situation like how cj stroud played
03:00now everyone wants to look at stroud and think well that's that's the rule let's face it that's
03:06the exception not the rule i think that i think that the patriots in a good situation in the
03:13quarterback quarterback because they're not forced they're not forced to go ahead and and play drake
03:20may right from the start and when they feel the time's ready they put him in there charlie we've
03:25been talking a lot though about maybe baptism by fire like get him in there get the get him
03:32acclimated to the league and have him figure it out what is the downside to that
03:38well he's going to get that it's just you don't need to start out like that i mean you don't have
03:44to just put them in right from the start i mean right now everyone everyone's got not in new
03:52england everyone outside of new england has the patriots peg for fourth in the division
03:57so from my perspective you put jacoby in there and see whether or not your team is significantly
04:04better than everyone thinks it is and if it's not significantly better than what everyone thinks it
04:10is then you put them in there and you'll still have plenty of time in this first year to get his
04:18baptism under fire accomplished you just don't need to start off the first game that way charlie
04:25charlie when you when you look at this situation is it is there any familiarity when you talk about
04:31like whether to sit a rookie at this high or whether to play because you were in new england
04:38and you were there for the bledsoe draft correct i was and so and drew was a guy and i it's been a
04:47while but when he came in did he play right away or was it something that you and uh and when you
04:54sat to think about what some of the situations with him and uh parcels were to kind of sit him a
05:01little bit well he played right he played right away for for two reasons one he was so much better
05:09than the incumbent number one and then two the team was terrible so i mean the no no one expected
05:20the team to be a playoff caliber team that first year so when the team is terrible and no one
05:27expects him to be a playoff team in the first year it's a little different than i mean right now if
05:34i'm i'm in a patriot building i'm not throwing in the towel on this season before the season's even
05:40started because tell me in the afc's who the favorite is well they're they're under charlie
05:46they're they're under they're underdogs in every single game i mean i yeah but i can't even tell
05:51you who the favorite in the division is i think it's the jets but i you know okay well maybe
05:58buffalo i mean buffalo buffalo miami the jets all three of those teams are being talked about in
06:06different in different capacities so until i know that we're we're going to be fourth in the division
06:14or looks like we're battling for not for a playoff spot but just trying to get somewhere
06:21near 500 until i know that's the case i'm going to go into the season figuring we have a fighting
06:27chance at that time we came in we inherited a team that won what one game one or two games i forget
06:35what it was when blood so came in but the team it was coming off either a one winner or two win
06:42it's a totally different scenario from my perspective charlie just we've been having
06:48fun offseason conversations and last week we did a where would brady rank among nfl quarterbacks
06:55today if he just came back just curious about where you think he would be at 47 in a couple
07:00days if he decided to if the 49ers called again where would you put brady at 47 among all the
07:06quarterbacks getting ready to play this season are you telling me i'm putting them on the 49ers
07:12yeah yeah well i put them in the top 10 top top 10 the top five you know if it was the 49ers
07:21if he's coming back with the patriots i'd probably say he's more middle of the pack
07:27but he's done though right you don't think there's any shot he gets incentivized to return
07:31no no i think it's i it's one thing getting divorced so one thing is your kids disowning
07:37you the truth i think these kids i think these kids would disown
07:44uh well uh semi semi-retired bill seems like he's living his best life have you
07:50spoken to bill bellichick at all charlie oh i um i'm i'm not touching that baby
07:57i'm i'm i'm not you guys you guys know better than i i might be dumb but i'm not stupid okay
08:04i'm not touching that do you think how soon is he coaching again if he is i'll ask you that
08:11well if he coaches is going to be next year i mean i don't i don't think there's any question
08:17if he wants to coach this time around there'll be a spot for him because there's a couple of
08:24teams that owners have high expectations and if their teams don't deliver i mean what better coach
08:32do you get if you have a if you have high expectations for your organization you know
08:37i don't think bill bill wants to go through a rebuild and i don't think they want him to go
08:42through to rebuild but i think that there's going to be some opportunities out there so if bill wants
08:48to coach he won't be sitting out for long because let's face it what's the one caveat what's the one
08:56carrot that's dangling out there the fact that he's so close to being the winningest coach in
09:01the history of the nfl yeah so so if he wants to coach it he obviously doesn't need the money
09:09it's not about the money i mean you know so it's just a question about if he wants to coach
09:17there'll be opportunities this year and they'll be with teams where the owners
09:23owner's expectation is for the team to win and then tell me who else tell me who was in the
09:28competition if you want to bring somebody in who's been there or done that charlie where do you fall
09:34when it comes to guys sitting out because of their contract negotiations there were a lot of
09:39question marks about judan and um god chow judan's been partaking in in training camp but god chow
09:45seems to be frustrated sitting on the sidelines showing up late to training camp where do you fall
09:51on that i'm not a fan i'm not a fan of players sitting out when they're under contract you know
09:58i'm just i'm just not a fan i understand the player's perspective i do i understand the
10:05player's perspective okay but you know i was groomed under you mentioned it before i was
10:13going under belichick i was growing under parcells and it's all about the team and what
10:19is about the team when you're under contract and you're holding out i mean i don't understand
10:24how in any way that benefits the team all right charlie the four and a half wins
10:33this patriots team are you taking the over or the under this season oh i'm taking the over
10:38i mean i'm not betting and i take it over okay not bad and i charlie last one for me what what
10:46do you think the hardest thing for bill is i would say this year not coaching you know i guess you
10:54know players we go through it when we're no longer playing that first year out and and you know i
10:59believe coaches probably go through the the same thing what do you think that potentially is the
11:04hardest thing for that he might have to deal with not being able to coach you know at least
11:09for this year and that way that might lead him back to coaching next year well this is an easy
11:15one okay because this is a setup question i could tell the hardest thing is his girlfriend right i
11:22mean i think that was such an easy layup i mean why why don't you just give me a bounce i said
11:31he said he said let me get on a jump lead and slam it home charlie he said
11:40he said hardest hardest not hottest but you could answer the same you could answer the same
11:50all right i have one last one if i could sneak it in yes charlie what what let's get back to
11:55football you silly kids um what about what does gerard mayo not know yet about how hard it is to
12:02be in charge of an nfl team well it's easy to sit there and second guess head coach's decisions i've
12:11been in that you know that seat close to the head coach where you why is he doing that why is he
12:17doing that well when you're the one has to make those decisions you know the time management
12:23decisions or the the the ball the decision like do you want to go for it here or do you want to
12:31punt and all the media second guesses you want it when it doesn't work and get and gives you
12:38adulation when it does work it's a lot different when you're making a call than when you're when
12:43when then you're when you're watching the call charlie it is always a pleasure thanks for taking
12:48the time this morning you got it uh tell everyone up in new england that it's still they have a warm
12:56spot in my heart and the heart of my entire family oh all right charlie there he is the
13:02great charlie weiss out on his bike yep getting making his way around florida wiggy yeah it's
