00:00Jacksonville in London in two weeks
00:03remember how embarrassed the crafts were by
00:05The Germany game cares way more about the international game than he probably should so yes
00:09I guess you could make a case that that'd be a reason to wait and start Drake May in that game
00:13But start him the game before get his feet under him
00:16So it's not a clown show against a very beatable
00:19Jacksonville Jaguars team on a national stage that whether or not you care about it as a fan
00:23I don't give two crafts about it
00:25Robert Kraft cares about it. It is a standalone Island showcase game for his franchise
00:31Internationally in front of the world, and he doesn't want Jacoby Brissett out there like that he and Jonathan
00:38That's why I think it goes higher than just Robin if yeah
00:41And you might you might be right, and I think it could be one of those things
00:43I think we asked current about it. Maybe a few other pager reporters about it where craft might not say guys
00:49You're making this move, but he could pop into the old coaches office to be like so
00:54What are we feeling about Drake may you know like classic?
00:57It's your idea
00:58But you can kind of know how I feel about it
00:59And I think that sort of helps speed up the process a little bit if this game on Sunday was in Houston
01:05Do you think Drake may start so yeah?
01:07I think the back-to-back home games, and then it's the London game, and then they're back home again
01:11So I feel like that's a big against a team
01:13He's already faced in the New York Jets and a team that stinks a lot worse than I certainly thought maybe others going into the season
01:18Thought so you know this Houston team is a really tough team
01:22But Jacksonville stinks the Jets kind of stink. I think I mean
01:26I'm not gonna be I'm not upset at all or I can't question that they finally went to him however
01:33How do you not go to him last week? Okay? So I?
01:36Totally fit why now is it only fair second guess what took so long?
01:39I thought you had a plan that you were sticking to and you're already blowing it up. I'm happy he's playing
01:43That's what I'm saying. I don't want to freak out too much
01:45Oh, I did get what I wanted, but like this don't tell me this was the plan no you should have started them
01:50Week one, but okay that got thrown out the window
01:52Then you should have started them against San Francisco because they were down
01:55I had a long week to prepare because you had the Thursday game against the Jets and if you didn't do that you should start
02:00Me it's Miami because that team stinks right now. Okay, so this is how I feel too
02:03So it's like I'm not gonna cry about it. No. I'm happy. He's in obviously confetti's everywhere in this studio like we're happy
02:09He's in yeah, but but don't lie to me and tell me this is your plan that it was week six all along
02:14And this is the plan
02:15Obviously there are outside factors the other rookies playing well
02:18How bad the team is struggling empty seats booing at the stadium like a business aspect and the the international game loom?
