00:00Here is New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex
00:05Van Pelt about about Drake. It definitely I think he made a big
00:09jump last week from the game in through practice. He's had
00:11really good couple days of practice. You know the the
00:14footwork and the timing you start to see it pay off and
00:17some of those throws, especially the third down
00:19conversion to Baker. You know we we rep that in practice and
00:22it showed up in the game and it's it's what it's supposed to
00:25look like so he's making strides making strides. I say
00:30this and I don't think this is any sort of hot take
00:33whatsoever, but any any team that has a quarterback
00:36controversy any team that has a quarterback battle any team
00:39that hasn't figured out who they're starting quarterback is
00:41yet y'all not making the playoffs. Every single one of
00:45them.
00:48Name him name the team that has a quarterback controversy
00:51right now that you think is going to make the playoffs. I
00:53think Pittsburgh can make the I think Pittsburgh can make the
00:55playoffs. They make the playoffs last week. Can you pick it and
00:58he was awful? No, they run the ball. They play defense. Yeah,
01:02but they're but they they got a running back. They're not good
01:05at it and they got better running backs already hurt.
01:07Baltimore is not very good. Anyways, they're not making the
01:10playoffs. So they had all that last year with the worst
01:13quarterback situation. I mean, can we was there a quarterback
01:16you say it's the worst. Yeah. It's the worst quarterback
01:19situation. So okay. That's great. I'm glad y'all feel
01:21that way. Do either of you two think Kenny Pickett is better
01:25than two guys? They got no not not really but the quarterback
01:29situation though was different because now we have a situation
01:32now is worse, right? It's because now they have a they
01:34have a veteran guy who's making very little money from their
01:37team who hasn't been very good and they're probably they
01:40they've already anointed him the starter and the backup guy
01:43who's younger and has more upside probably should be
01:46playing but it's as if they promise this to Russell Wilson
01:49to even get him to show up. To me, there is a lot of
01:52dysfunction in the Steelers quarterback situation and they
01:54lost their second best receiver. So with New England, their
01:59situation is they have a Band-Aid guy. Jacoby Berset is
02:03nobody's starter meaning, you know, listen, Jacoby Berset and
02:07Gardner Minshew. That's why these guys weren't given 45 or
02:1050 million dollar contracts because they're not starting
02:13quarterback guys. They're guys that can start for a little
02:16while and hold on for a little while until your rookie is
02:21ready to go and in the case of Gardner Minshew, I don't think
02:23he has to worry about Aiden O'Connell the way that Jacoby
02:25Berset would have to worry about Drake May but
02:27organizationally, I don't think the Raiders look at Aiden
02:30O'Connell the way the Patriots look at at Drake May.
