On the Clock: Finishing the Patriots Offseason

0:00He feels the digs roll man like that's you know the big hole here You're reliable inside outside when in the short intermediate parts of the field He can work the middle. He's also really good on outs digs There's a million reasons why he's gone the primary of which is that he's owed like 27 million dollars this year That's a big hole. He was really important and his production certainly declined as a season went along And I'm sure that contributed as well to their comfort moving on from him But they needed to replace that player in their offense and they did I really believe they did in dobs. I put out a stat on intermediate routes So 10 to 20 yards dobs and digs were tied in yards per row Like exactly tied exactly. I know level of things like that. We're good It's just like all right cool. Let's take him. Let's go younger. Let's slide him in I'm not even saying he's necessarily as good as digs really not digs at his prime It was such a need to me. It does not prohibit them from looking to upgrade Size speed perimeter whatever Whether it's a Have that brown trade or in the draft But the reality is they were not going to get a top

1:00High noon jones and keith w e e i Meena kimes Things Romeo dobs kind of a one-for-one step digs replacement in fact on intermediate routes They had similar advanced metrics. How about that younger player Nick has said Nick has said he thinks dobs this year is going to out produce digs this year Not digs what he did a year ago a thousand plus yards doing But this year dobs will have a better year than wherever digs winds up Dogs with this target share that digs got last year might have been close to a thousand yards Because he add more yards per catch than digs did last year So if you average that out he might have been a thousand year receiver with digs is workload Where do you think digs goes? I'm thinking we can't city But have you seen one thing about him? No mean either like he was officially released this morning Was it oh I got the I thought seven thirty in the morning. No, I thought the Patriots They had it with an email we got yeah, I thought they had to do it at like four o'clock Like and then now the Patriots are officially released digs I think for three fifty nine. I think they had to get all those

2:01Serious of transactions yesterday. Yeah, we're not cc'd on this nafteen nick Patriots didn't send you an email their nick because I got the same email as keep ragged for about that for a couple of years Yeah, yeah, we get we're on the emailless brag the headline Patriots make a series of transactions. You got a time stamp on that. Yeah, Pellicero Maybe Pellicero should get cc'd on this too. I got it yesterday at four 15 p.m. Yep Doing them Patriots announced today that they have released water severs stuff on digs linebacker amphanage And linebacker jolani to vi in addition the Patriots traded center Garrett Bradbury the Chicago bearish rate 2027 fifth round draft pick by the way if you're getting if you're getting emails from Kathleen Jones don't click on those if you guys Yeah, why are you get that email in box don't don't click on those. She's victim of a 50 oh she's inviting me to a party Click phone blows up. Yeah, don't I guess Curtis was talking Curtis got one of those as well. I got don't don't click on them If you got a if you got an email from Kathleen Jones stay far away from that. So what was she doing to get hacked? God knows you don't look into that cool. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say whatever it is Quilt Conn is up the root of this somehow. I don't know But whenever she's victim of officially. I've changed every password. I have that's two of her tickets online

3:04They got her that way. Oh, yeah, oh the Quilt Con. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is they get your hooks in you She's probably getting her tickets for next year's quiz. She's like I had such a good time at Quilt Conn sell out quick She's now been she's now been fished. They were really the ones that can't reach bill max Yeah, so good a good point there But anyway, that is Meena Kimes on the Patriots and their off season We can circle back and grade the off season for the pads But every Thursday at high noon gif we go on the clock. We're going to complete The Patriots off season in just 60 seconds each. I have a plan you have a plan going forward We're both fans of the off season at this point, but they can improve it If you want to weigh in with plans to complete the Patriots off season six one seven seven seven nine seven ninety three seven key if you have first up Okay, let's put them on the clock Nick All right, I feel like it's already been a pretty good off season for the Patriots but here's how you make it even better You wait out the Philadelphia Eagles who are not going to bring back AJ Brown and you eventually strike on a deal Where you trade your second round pick this year and maybe you offer a sixth as well because the Patriots have four of those

4:07Or if you really want to sweeten the deal a fourth round pick which the Patriots have two of so at max I think you give him a second and a fourth from this year's draft you get AJ Brown I also am going to upgrade the tight end position and sign David and joku. Oh David joku's still out there You could add him to Hunter Henry and you have a great one-two punch at tight end This leaves you needing an edge rusher. I know Max Crosby's still out there I think that ship has sailed So you're going to go get a pass rusher in the draft So you wait until the draft get them at number 31 overall And then of course the other big thing you still have to do is sign Christian Gonzalez You have to give him more money than Trent McDuffey who's making a hundred million dollars So you offer Gonzalez 110 guaranteed and hopefully get that done that would check off all the boxes for the team and you're back in the playoffs Oh right on time. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you right now. I rehearsed them. I like your plan a lot. Maybe too much This is we run into this sometimes I like I like your plan so much Keith You may you may hear some more all of those bullet points Yeah, good taste. It's a really good plan for the offseason

5:10Nick throw me on the clock I don't want to finish off the Patriots off season off season in just 60 seconds I start by paying Christian Gonzalez the price has already gone up Trent McDuffey Four years 124 million 100 million guaranteed top that 100 million guaranteed and do it before Seattle Extends to Von Witherspoon because that number only going to continue to go up I also like the top-signing. I like booty. I like Mac Hollins But you need an alpha number one receiver in that room for Drake May So go get AJ Brown send Philly pick number 31 for AJ Brown and give Drake May a true number one But don't stop there you need more weapons in the passing game Have you heard of David in the joku? I have a number two tight end. He could be even better than Hunter Henry You now have weapons galore for Drake May last year's MVP runner up. Maybe now he's the MVP in the draft I get an ed rusher at 63. I think they're still talent there And then I show up the offensive line in the middle rounds you do these moves You will win the division you will go back to the plan

6:13Very similar how about that wow we even talk about this that be no, maybe we should have in hindsight Maybe we should have I could have sworn you were going to go back cross I said that every week. Yeah, well, we just we don't really talk apparently actually had some pretty diverse top fives recently We used to have a lot overlap in the top five drop by Friday. I was I'm surprised you don't have cross Be in your plans. I was thinking about crossby, but then I was I Really would like the Romeo dobs signing way more if they got a j brown We're like really invest in offense for Drake May I like the secondary so much because Byrd would have been part of my plan. Have they not just already signed them So I think your defense is better The offense is more debatable right because you have Vera Tucker, which is like a boom or bus type of player He might miss a lot of games and then you have been brown and then maybe your offensive lines actually slightly worse than it was a year ago And then at receiver we're hoping for similar production from digs I don't think it will be a thousand yard season from dobs So then I did I went back to brown also. I feel like at this stage The cost of max crossby has probably come down a little bit

7:16But I think you could probably get a j brown for still even far less. Have we talked about this today? Do you believe the max crossby tweet where he's like I'm a rater? No What what I don't know why he did that. What was the giffy blasted out there? That's a wrestling gift. Who was that? Oh was it um Was it an undertaker one? I don't know. I'm not. I'm not Twitter or just on Instagram. Uh, I see it on Twitter Everything happens for a reason believe oh yeah, is it the undertaker believe nothing you hear and half of what you see I'm a rater. I agree with that. I'm back run that. Let's call it crap. Yeah Uh bald eagle and then a skull and crossbones pirate flag about the eagle He also sent it himself. I went a hard ass. He's like put a little Astros for the eye Thanks, bud. There's kids watching But yeah, it's an undertaker coming out of a coffin giff not the one that you normally see where he's like sitting up This is the one that's standing straight up and it's on fire. Yes, bearded taker. Yeah, it looks like that's when he returned He gets Randy Orton. Oh, that's exactly what that is. Okay. Uh, I don't believe he's a rater. No, I don't either

8:18But I guess I guess I think it's a little more likely he's staying now that he's claiming to stay than I would have felt yesterday But I don't buy that for a second. Do you believe in that though believe nothing you hear and half of what you see So if you see it even then question it and if you hear it forget about it I believe like everything I see I think I've had half of what I hear most of what I hear All of what I see I poor vision, but like even still I kind of believe what I see I believe everything I see actually and like half of what I hear I think did he get the did he butcher the quote? Is that the quote? I don't know. That's what he wrote He wrote believe nothing you hear and half of what you seem like the brightest So maybe you just messed up the quote. He does say I also agree with this and I've heard this everything happens for a reason That's true, you know, I've seen that on Instagram. I've seen it on bumper stickers I've seen people put it in their Instagram bios. Yeah, I was like everything happens for a reason It's like an A message back in the day. Yeah. Yeah, shoot for the moon You know, you go. He's landing the stars that type of thing a hundred percent so backstarts I guess I'm gonna take them. I just I don't know. I just I just assume that would be part of your plan

9:22So basically our plans once again, I'm giving up. I'm paying a little bit more for AJ Brown Then you otherwise our plans are identical You're drafting an edger usher in the first round. I'm drafting one in the second round and joke was just sitting there though Looks promising. Well, I guess and with Mike variables ties with with Cleveland He officially got released this morning too. I guess I thought he had already been available So his market might I was wondering why he hadn't signed. I guess he hadn't officially been released by the Browns until today So that that came out earlier today as well. So maybe we'll we'll move on that market a little bit There's still a Because a concourse sign where the commanders yesterday and likely signed right away with the the giants So those were two of the guys. They have been linked to I think yeah, Joe makes a lot of sense. Yeah Right likely on concu And then other guys are kind of like lower on that list. There's still a decent amount of tight ends available like if you're looking at Not that you'd bring back Johnny Smith Actually kind of does fall off a little bit of a cliff. I suppose I think the guy that the guy out there would be in joku and now that would be a great pickup Good text here Keith and Jones are like Tatum and Brown. They don't talk off the air

10:22But on the year they work great together. That is that is a good point follow up. Which one's Tatum? Which one's Brown? Oh ready Say who you what do you want to be? I'll say who I am. Yes, who you are. Yeah, three two one. Jalen. Yeah, perfect Yeah, yeah, this year Yeah, this year forever Jalen. I might kill these for right now the same as Tatum's this I have no reason for that, but I probably did just as good a shame. Yes Favorite season so far and then yeah, that's me. Yeah, and then if Keith ever got hurt He would he would put together like a docu series about it. That'd be sick. Yeah, put it on the dork podcast You guys could follow my journey there All right, good stuff there. Uh, uh, other texts. Oh my god. Yeah, you guys back. What about Brandon and I you I think that is a different I you guy, but you're right The I you stands right there We did talk a lot about Brandon and I youka year ago. Yeah, or two years ago When was that two years ago? He's two years ago. Yeah, yeah But that was also when he was playing football and he wasn't hiding from the team like where is this guy?

11:25Yeah, it's changed a lot. He could be anywhere If he's just on the scrap heap if and when they release him Is he worth throwing some bucks at maybe I wasn't I wasn't gonna trade for him I throw a dart at it, but you can't like rely on him It is a weird story talk about things that need a documentary. What happened to you? It's true Uh, Jones. I think your wife got scammed By the same person who scammed Taylor Kyle's oh the crypto guy. Yeah, crypto scam could be Kyle's was able to get $150,000 profit and a brand new Mercedes. Yeah, but he had to trade that Mercedes to get his Twitter account back true It's not the end of the day. What's it back? Was it worth it? There's a wash here. You drove it one time. It's probably worth it Got a nice way down Got a nice spin out of that Uh, so those are our plans up now at Jones and Keith Twitter and Instagram You can dial us up as well with your you got a plan 30 seconds on the Patriots. What you want them to do For the rest of the offseason again six one seven seven seven nine seven ninety three seven a reminder tomorrow 10 o'clock sharp The Jones and Keith awards the inaugural
