00:00I would have thought New England initially preseason would have let Mayo
00:04Learn right. They knew it was his first time as a head coach. They've had him in their building for a long time and
00:10I thought if they would have moved on from Gerard Mayo then maybe they wanted to try and shake things up
00:15Maybe a Ben Johnson, maybe they couldn't get Ben Johnson, but they've made their move very quickly here
00:20So it looks like the idea is still the the Patriot way
00:24So what could that mean for their ensuing offseason? They currently hold the fourth overall pick
00:31Yeah, so a couple things here
00:32first of all with Mike Rabel there were other teams involved that the Patriots knew if they wanted they had to act fast and
00:38That's that's the big reason why they did it plus they know him
00:40This guy's a very successful for a while a head coach for the Titans a former coach of the year
00:45They know what they were getting because Kevin as you know, he was in their building for many years as a football player
00:50So they're looking to
00:52Sort of duplicate that success now, let's let's go forward
00:55What what can we expect out of Mike Mike Rabel?
00:57So a coaching source who?
00:58Worked with Mike for a number of years told me that despite his reputation for being run first and win with defense
01:05Well, they had Derek Henry for Tennessee
01:07Had Rabel not been fired
01:10They were they were not going to be moving on with Derek Henry
01:14Derek Henry was going to be gone as they understand no matter what if Rabel he was going to come back to the Titans
01:19So what what what Mike has told people at least he did then his last coach of staff was
01:24He wanted to be more forward-thinking
01:25I'm not it wasn't going to be a pass first guy
01:28But more a little bit more of balance stop coming out just try to run the ball establish the run which is kind of a
01:33Fallacy Kevin and try to be more forward-thinking so that could happen here now Drake may
01:38The one thing that the coaching agent told me this week was before they had the agreement with Rabil today
01:44Is that you look at Drake may that's the one ace in the hole that they have they have their
01:49Quarterback, they have to continue to develop them, but he's got enormous arm pretty athletic
01:53He's a little bit more ahead of schedule when people thought yes
01:55They have to help them and that's where I'm going next year Kevin the Patriots have a bottom five roster
02:01They need much more talent at receiver remember they try to get Brandon. I you they try to get Calvin Ridley
02:06They've admitted clearly that they know they have to upgrade at the Robert Shearer position
02:10They have to get younger and more athletic at tight end. They have to improve their offensive line
02:14They have a bottom half of the NFL clearly
02:17Difficult offensive line and they need more playmakers on defense so there's a reason why this team was it was bad wasn't that Mayo?
02:24Struggle a little bit he did but the roster is clearly poor and that that's why this is a rebuild
02:29But a rebuild not needing quarterback
