    Been listening for several years and love listening to Phil on here and Currans Patriots Talk Pod.

    Only gripe is that lately the compression on your voice is making it harsh to listen to. It’s very punchy and perhaps the attack is too quick or the ratio is too high.

    Hate to be that guy, but it won’t keep me from listening!

  • Question

    Love your podcast! Do you think there’s any chance that Thayer Munford Jr could possibly break into one of the best starting 5 offensive lineman for the patriots this year? I know he’s a tackle, but wondering if left gaurd could be a possibility for him so we could move Wilson back to center? That would leave a stating 5 of Campbell, Munford, Wilson, Onwenu, and Moses. Would make it so Bradbury could become a good backup instead of a just OK starter.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why the Patriots have a RARE specimen in Gabe Jacas
Q: How does James White compare Jacas to players the Patriots have had, and what makes Jacas a good fit for the team?
White likens Jacas to a modern, high-effort edge with a strong run defense mindset, capable of setting the edge and contributing in both pass rush and run defense, which aligns with Patriots' defensive philosophy.
Why the Patriots have a RARE specimen in Gabe Jacas
Q: What was Bret Bielema's reaction when he saw Jacas drafted by the Patriots in the second round?
He expressed excitement and saw the fit, noting Jacas's leadership, work ethic, and the potential for him to contribute in multiple ways on defense.
Draft picks the Patriots HAVE TO consider with Todd McShay
Q: So what is the big picture for the Patriots in this draft?
McShay emphasizes that the Patriots are in a good spot not needing a quarterback, with a deep group at tackle, edge, and receiver, but the challenge is balancing best player available with positional needs given the depth and drop-offs in the class.
Mock Draft Extravaganza: Mike Vrabel Chooses VIOLENCE
Q: What are the Patriots' plans at tight end in the draft and free agency?
They added Julian Hill for blocking and versatility, retained Hunter Henry, and see potential in further upgrading the position through the draft, possibly adding another receiver/tight end hybrid depending on how the board falls.
Patriots camp superlatives: Drake Maye, TreVeyon Henderson LEADING THE WAY
Q: Is Ramondre Stevenson still a viable fantasy option with Henderson in the mix, and how might their roles shake out?
Stevenson remains a playable asset but is likely to see reduced workload and receiving work compared to previous seasons. Henderson's presence is expected to shift Stevenson toward a more limited, volume-dependent role, lowering Stevenson's overall fantasy value.
