Great show amongst a sea of internet mediocrity👍👍👍

So I've been trying to find any player he's coached up, or great line hes had, to get me excited about Marrone, but in 30 years the only recognizable name is Cam Robinson, and Marrone was HC for his selection and development, so Im not sure if thats his success, really. Can you point to any offensive line specific win for Marrone in the past 30 years? A past 2nd round oick hes coached up to pro bowl status perhaps, or a top OL?

Good to see Mile and Murph.👍

The Mayo staff was mostly inexperienced. They were forced to move guys around the O-line all season. Wolfe's idea of moving guys from RT to LT being easy was shooting the team in the foot. Wolfe LT draft plan was a kid that had only played RT in college and trading for and paying guaranteed $ to a career RT who was already a bit of a malcontent. I'm expecting Vrabel to manage Wolfe's moves after seeing how he supported 😮Mayo.

Great episode! I don't think enough talk is on the OL is center. LT is a priority but they need a center as well.

Why does dan do these long, slow blinks after every name thats said?

Good analysis, guys. But Dan, you have to stop hedging your words when describing Elliott Wolf. Say it! Wolf went WOKE and all in on DEI hires. It was not “merit based.” There were no good ol’ boys drafted. Something on purpose some think. He went for a “culture.” No cornfed hawgs - None, except Drake Maye. If that’s the continued philosophy, the Patriots go for, they will continue to be “also-rans,” no matter how many coaches they bring in.

Buffalo got railed

Too many chefs, granted their good chefs let’s hope and no groceries. Big problem there.

I agree. If the Rams offer Jackson 14M , the Pats should offer at least 5M more right away.

If the Eagles blitz Daniels a lot they will get blown out. He actually is better against the blitz and man coverage than he is in zone. Nothing cheap nothing deep attack his line with the front four and make him drive the length of the field. Too many quick wrs plus Ekeler out of the backfield to blitz it makes it easy for him.

It's going to be all about this team and the coaching staff to get the right players I believe 🤜🫵👍💯😜🏆🙏

Vrabel and McDaniel will build around Drake 💯👍🫵🤜

If we can get the right wrs coach TE Coach offense line coach we good with this staff this coaching staff is getting real by vrabel no doubt 💯👍🤜🫵🤣🏆😜

Josh is not the same Josh I think he got better 🤔

I wonder about our offense line coach 🤔

I don't think Ben Johnson wouldn't work so vrabel will get us over the hump🏆🤣🫵🤜💯💪👍🙏

I think the patriots just stole the best coach on the market no doubt 👍💪💯🤜🫵🏆🤣

I believe vrabel is the right coach no doubt in my mind 🤣🏆🫵🤜💯💪👍🙏

Wild to me that some fans would actually stick nose up at Mike or Josh-let alone both. Both of em are elite when it comes to situational football. There's always a hot OC or 2 that comes up for hire & it's literally a crap shoot & despite the hype many fail. Vrabel's proven. And so is Josh when it comes to OC. Ones acting like Josh is a dinosaur are severely ignorant. Acting like he called plays in the 60s lmao. All this "modern" OFF talk is silly. Which disappointed me bout far as Orlovsky . He knows full well that these "modern" OCs haven't reinvented the wheel; And def aren't making up crazy new plays never seen before. What they are doing is window dressing, with dif stacks & motions. Which is great & can add some creativity & cause confusion but at end of the day, the plays themselves aren't any dif post snap. Can Josh adapt to new NFL? Hes only been out of the league for a yr, like wtf we doing?! He's perfect hire for so many reasons. Obv qualified; has done it before; and that's important for this team. Especially after this last yr. Find me an OC who's had wild success who hasn't had, at min, a good OL & elite supporting cast of weapons; If not an all-time QB. A QB ya can win with + Elite weapons can make a lot of OCs look good. I'm 1 of the biggest it was mostly Tom guys, but it's a fact that Brady took off with McDaniels as his OC, and his most prolific seasons were with Josh as OC. And Josh & Tom weren't always working with the assortment of skill players either. When most thought Moss was washed, we saw what Brady & Josh did with a true #1 wr. Cassel, Max, a washed Cam, Jimmy, Brissett. And there's only 1 Tom, but some of us think Drake is a QB ya win cuz of. And smart nuf to understand what Josh is capable of with 1 of them 1s

Great listen! I REALLY enjoyed hearing Mike and Tanya’s takes on Mike Vrabel, Josh McDaniels and the Patriots. I agree with your weekend picks too. Bills-Eagles Super Bowl incoming? ?😮 Excellent show!

Listen: after the past five seasons, and seeing what the organization has put out on the field. I feel like I finally have a breath of fresh air. Vrabel isn't going to let this team look like a JV high school football team. I hope he brings that winning spirit back to New England. At least get this team to look, and act like an NFL team.

You need to get Murph and Claire on at the same time🤩🤩🤩

McDaniel know how to play call I give that to him 🤣👍🫵🤜💯🙏🏆

I like you guys really keep it 💯🤜🫵👍🤣

We all screamed for Mike Vrabel & Josh McDaniels exactly one year ago. Kraft used a mulligan and we now have Vrabel & McDaniels- Hay Happy New Year

I'm hoping Vrabel will let Josh pick his offensive staff. That being said I don't want Welker as wide receivers coach. I would rather have Saleh as DC

Not surprising , but I am a little bummed. AVP really helped Maye and Milton.

💯💯💯💯💯

Not a bad move, just hoping that he will update his offense make it more modern and easy to understand .

Consistency was one thing that Josh will bring we don't worry about him going to another team as their head coach.

It doesn’t matter if the head coach is not young and filled with ideas on the new way football is played

You obviously spend a lot of time resourcing information and guests for your podcast. Tip of the cap to you, Mike. The Krafts continue to impress me. Obviously, they gave their word to Mayo that he would replace Belichick and he did. The Krafts were not expecting that Bels would fall so rapidly forcing them to elevate Mayo sooner than they had thought. They stayed true to their word and gave Mayo his shot. Clearly, Mr. Mayo wasn't ready for the promotion so the Krafts made the hard decision of letting him go. This is an example of the Kraft family being one of the top team owners in the NFL.

Coach ❌ OC✅

Hopefully he's learned how to make his offense WR friendly!!

😂 josh and bill are worthless with out brady 🤔 did a past his prime brady win a super bowl without josh and bill

What are the odds Pats sign/trade for any big free agents like Ward or Simmons?

Great! Josh is a excellent play caller. I still hope that AVT stays on in some way. Maye and Milton both looked improved over the season.

Keep AVP on staff and give him a new role as the quarterbacks coach. He does really well there.

Respective we have to get winning now we together have two finds way the extended new rolls and their one way to do it we have figured out who gonna leave who gonna stay

Having Steve and Thomas Murphy on your show Mike, makes it the best podcast to enjoy. Rational thinking, relaxed not hyped up n out of your minds, explaining your thoughts , knowledge, and reasoning. I hope you keep it going for the foreseeable future, years to come, hopefully into the good times that may await the Patriots. No guarantees. 50 50 that they get bk to the gd 20 years , or back to 65 thru 2000. A gd season peppered in there once every 7 yrs or so, on avg over 35 yrs. Many 0 to 4 win seasons in that span. Hopefully free agency and the draft will give you the chance to pin some hope on this season. Thank you for your time n show.

Mike you are the best and thank you for what you do!

We have other problems now there’s no more TikTok

Mike reiss best in business deserves a thumbs down. A nice mr politics and nothing more than weekly reader reporter. but, Mike is a great guy but farrrrrrrrrr from tops

You do know the NFL rigs their football games, don’t you?????

Joe Milton's upside is higher than Drake Maye's ... inconvenient truth ..

Maye doesn't need a stud line, Focus on the defense and penalties.

Good insight.

DURRRRRGHHH LOL

These guys lol old man on the right looks uninterested 😂
