00:00it is the great nick costos nick good morning what's going on literally just spilled coffee
00:04all over myself seconds ago oh that's good to talk to you guys yeah that's great it's great
00:09it's great to talk to you how are you how are you wagering this patriots game on sunday i like
00:15the
00:15jaguars a little bit um guy ask you guys i was talking with shy i'm off air about this like
00:19what
00:20is the level of concern locally with with drake may and his play recently like dating back to the
00:25end of last season depends on who you ask yeah i um yeah go ahead wiggy believes he is regressing
00:31uh curtis thinks that the it's uh foundationally shaking uh i believe that it's two games in
00:39and i would like to wait until week five or six to to determine whether there's some major issue
00:45i would say i probably come down greg more on your side of it that i think that he's still
00:51good but i
00:53think the problem with drake and you could say this about a lot of quarterbacks in the league so
00:56i don't even mean this as an insult and just talking to people in the league this week this
01:00seems to be the general consensus on drake may is that if everything's good around him like he has
01:05protection and i don't even want to say the receivers because like the receivers were not great last year
01:10and he was awesome but really if you can protect him he's going to look awesome like he's going to
01:14be really good but if if things are not perfect around him like it might look a little shaky like
01:19it has
01:19you know at the end of last season even in the playoffs when they went to the super bowl
01:22and the first couple games of this season i still think he's really good but you know he has not
01:27played great and i think that's really fair to say and you know i'm going to say something that you
01:31guys may disagree with here and i really don't mean this as an insult to drake may i mean it
01:36more
01:36it's a compliment to trevor lawrence i i think trevor lawrence is better than drake may and i think
01:40drake may is awesome so again like not an insult to drake may i i would take trevor lawrence over
01:45drake
01:45but you're on the greg side like how does that compute i call it a call for grace
01:52awesome what's that i called it a fall from grace from last season to this season like take the
01:56injury out of it with the postseason for drake but like we're only two games in they're one and one
02:00oh my god the two games in yeah that's what we have in front of us i don't know what
02:04else to tell
02:05you well i mean to be fair court like like the competition's been pretty stiff like seattle might
02:10have the best defense in the league the steelers offense is terrible but the defense is nothing to
02:14sneeze at like i do think jacksonville's defense is pretty good it's a tough game to call would you be
02:19shocked if drake may played well on sunday i wouldn't i wouldn't but i'm just saying the first
02:22two weeks that's not the drake may that i was expecting to see get rolled out no i mean like
02:27to be fair you know the schedule was insanely easy last year like i know patriots fans get
02:31really butthurt about that for some reason stating a fact but it was it's been way harder in the
02:36playoffs down the stretch you play the seahawks back-to-back games and then you get the steelers
02:40so i i i land somewhere in the middle with it i do think that he needs to play better
02:45but i do think
02:45he's still really good but again like i'll take trevor lawrence over him i'll take liam cohen over
02:50mike vrabel i'll take the jaguars to win this game on sunday liam cohen over mike vrabel go ahead
02:55so and what i think you make great points costos the other point i would make is eileen moron after
03:01mocking cam newton for saying it was fool's gold and attacking all the national pontificators for
03:06ripping drake may for saying what he accomplished last year wasn't real it's closer to being a mirage than
03:12me expecting him to return to the peak he reached last season right now if that makes sense do you
03:17do
03:17you think like he's not good or no i think he's gonna be good i think he's a good quarterback
03:22i
03:22don't think he's the second best player in the nfl like he was last year yeah i mean like look
03:27like i
03:27said i i think there's probably some credence to it and again it's not an insult to say this you
03:32could
03:32say this about justin herbert you could say it about jordan love after what we saw last night
03:36there were very few quarterbacks in the league like wiki you agree with this right how many quarterbacks in the
03:41league are there where you can say if the situation's terrible around them i'm not saying it's brutal
03:46brutal for drake may but if the situation's not great around them like they may not be good enough
03:51to elevate everybody else like it's mahomes it's josh allen it's lamar jackson it's job there aren't that
03:56many guys that can do that so maybe drake may's in the next tier below those guys i don't think
04:00he's
04:01in that top tier and you know and if the jaguars with trayvon walker and josh heinz allen and company
04:06are able to get a pass rush on him like i don't think it's going to go well for drake
04:10may on sunday
04:10oh wow all right so you're you're picking the jags do you pick them to cover uh minus three i
04:17think
04:17probably like yeah like i i think they're gonna win so i would lay the three i think they'll win
04:21by
04:21at least three points so i do like jacksonville wow that is what you know that is very uh interesting
04:27nick because i i did a lead the other day of like trevin lawrence and like i agree with you
04:32it's
04:32my opinion it's josh allen it's lamar jackson and it's patrick mahomes that can elevate
04:38you know people around burrow in that category burrow's like the next step down it's very
04:43difficult because he has jamar chase and t higgins and then there's the other guys that
04:48prescott trevor lawrence jalen hurts uh brock purdy brock purdy justin her but they're all in the same
04:53group and then i jones um to be fair but back jones is awesome you're right about that and then
04:59and
04:59then with drake i kind of have him in the like the caleb williams jayden daniels like the jury's still
05:03out and it's very interesting to oh man oh you don't think caleb's better than drake may i would
05:11say like i said the jury's still out on those guys like i i i think that talent wise caleb
05:17william has
05:18more talent but the jury's still out to see which one of those guys could be better now let's also
05:24you know like let's see what happens when aj brown comes back this will probably look a lot better like
05:29if and when that happens and look travion henderson was explosive last week we said that last week
05:33right in the spot they need the explosive running from travion henderson you got that last week and
05:38you know and also like to be fair to drake and look it's a criticism and it's also like making
05:42excuses for him like at what point can josh mcdaniels and company feel confident enough in
05:47will campbell in this offensive line that they're not running like this gimmicky offense to protect the
05:51offensive line where they feel good like the offensive line can actually block and hold up for drake may
05:56so there's like a lot going on here it sounds like i'm insulting drake may really what i'm saying is
06:00is i don't think the situation around him is great right now and i don't know if he's special enough
06:05in the way like mahomes is or josh allen is to be able to overcome potential bad infrastructure around
06:11him it doesn't mean the patriots are bad i still think they're a playoff team but i think jacksonville's
06:15a playoff team also jaguars are home i'll take jacksonville nick uh let's let's go down to rio real
06:21quick what do you make of this ravens cowboys game because i think both of these teams have had moments
06:25where they look amazing and moments where they look like idiots and i don't know what to make of
06:30either of these teams through two weeks and the line's like three and a half so you'd have to deal
06:33with the hook where are you at with the cowboys and the ravens well i'm in i'm in lovely beautiful
06:38scenic staten island right now staten island new york and nor'easter's coming and it's gray and the
06:42wind is blowing i would love to take a trip down to rio get me the hell out of here
06:46please um so something
06:48that was pretty important for baltimore so they flew yesterday to brazil zay flowers was on the flight
06:53um and i feel like if he were not going to play he missed last week's game the loss to
06:57new orleans
06:58with a hamstring injury my sense is is that if he were not going to play they would not have
07:02put him
07:02on this flight like a 10-hour flight there and a 10-hour flight back to brazil and i think
07:06he matters
07:07a lot for the ravens now there's like a deeper conversation to be had about baltimore and like
07:11the lack of depth that is presented when players like zay flowers have to miss games so shyme i'm going
07:16to give some pretty surface level analysis here but i think it's accurate if zay flowers plays let's keep
07:20this in mind in week one zay flowers was going to threaten flipper anderson's single game receiving
07:25record 336 yards he had 150 yards with like five minutes to go in the first half and left with
07:30a
07:30hamstring injury he matters a ton for this ravens offense if he plays like there's no one on dallas
07:36can cover him i think the ravens are going to score 35 points and i think baltimore will win and
07:41cover
07:41the spread if he doesn't play there's a real case to be made for the cowboys so i want to
07:46wait and see
07:46if zay flowers is going to play if zay plays give me baltimore if he doesn't probably no bet on
07:51the
07:52game for me all right nick here's a game i'm still like they were they they were the team i
07:56had in the
07:57super bowl um rams at denver what's your thought process there so puka naku is i don't think is going
08:03to play on sunday night um and like the rams were able to get away with it against my horrific
08:08job
08:08what a great week for me as a giants fan and aaron judge is probably not going to play against
08:12the red
08:13one uh but yeah it doesn't look like puka is going to play on sunday night i so the rams
08:19are
08:19basically going to roll out this weird offense that they ran against the giants but the giants
08:23aren't very good right with one legitimate wide receiver and davante adams all these tight ends
08:28and terrence ferguson is the main pass catching tight ends now the giant secondary is bad if you're
08:33the denver broncos how is the strategy not just we're going to put patrick sertan on davante adams
08:38we're taking davante adams out of the game like we are not going to let davante go eight for 195
08:43and
08:43two like he did Monday night against the giants and then like the rams have no speed on offense
08:48like none it doesn't exist and it's just this fleet of tight ends they become easier to defend
08:53with a good defense this is one of the reasons why like i didn't love the rams coming into the
08:57year
08:57is because if you take puka out of the equation like this jenga tower like the offense falls apart
09:01so i would say if puka does not play honestly i'll lean for me towards the denver broncos on sunday
09:06night football uh as a giants fan what do you make of the new york post reporting that they're
09:11interested in jimmy garoppolo yeah i mean well we have a quarter but like richard prior is basically
09:18the quarterback of the giants right now we have like no we have a good sense of humor he really
09:24yeah that's which is great it's like you're watching him on netflix like when he's the quarterback
09:29like i look at it this way it's like if you have like a friend of yours who's a drunk
09:33and you hang
09:33out like once a week at the bar and like the person makes you laugh it's like wow this is
09:37really
09:37great but then you have to spend time with this person all the time and they're wasted constantly
09:41you're like i hate this person like i'm fine with watching jamis winston be the backup quarterback for
09:45another team he said now he's the quarterback for my team i hate it like he and look like it's
09:50not
09:50just that he was bad on monday night which he was he wasn't prepared and and you don't have to
09:54take my word for it take the word of it of people that played in the nfl like like brian
09:59baldinger
09:59my co-host on the best football show he he baldy like never kills players and i mean that in
10:04a
10:04positive way he killed jamis winston after this game look like we're coming off an off season where
10:08jamis is haha yucking it up with burt kreischer on netflix rubbing elbows with thierry on rey and
10:13zlatan ibrahimovic at the world cup what do you think's more important to jamis like slinging touchdown
10:18passes to theo johnson or like his post his post nfl career in broadcasting style this is the
10:23quarterback of my team right now and it's not yeah eat the w that's great it's really fun when you
10:27make people laugh when you're able to successfully complete the forward pass not whatever the hell
10:31that was on monday night so like season's over for the giants like it's done all right well it's
10:37awesome to hear your voice and you can tune in to nick and you can listen to his show and
10:44you can
10:44watch you better you bet you're all over the place nick well we got lots of good stuff going on
10:48uh not a
10:49lot of sleep but you know what we we trudge forward uh wishing yeah wishing everybody minimal sweats
10:53winning bets the absolute very best of luck go nicks all right survive go yankees
10:57survive survive i hope you survive the nor'easter we're we're dealing with it here as well so yeah
11:03is it is it really going to be bad no right i think we're hearing yes what's bad it's rain
11:09i mean
11:09it's a little bit a blizzard it's not a blizzard so i'm not i guess if you're on the coast
11:14you got
11:15high winds and greg lives on the ocean and he's the least scared of all of us i don't know
11:20let's be honest odds are i'm not going to float away yeah uh so can i just say can i
11:25just say one
11:26more thing yeah uh just to say it again go yankees oh all right all right get off get off
11:32our airwaves i actually i actually i actually the red sox are going to beat them but you do
11:36well it's like in three in three you know well is is crochet going to pitch out of the bullpen
11:43probably an inning here for there i'll just say just i i don't think judge should play i think if
11:50he does play he's pushing it and i i fear that he's going to tear his achilles with a cap
11:54injury
11:55if he plays so i'm i'm concerned about this and i do think by the way i don't think the
12:00yankees can
12:01beat the rays without judge but if the red sox beat the yankees there's a strong case to be made
12:06that boston will be the al representative in the world series so i think there's like a ton on the
12:10line coming up in this wild card series all right nick thank you we'll talk to you again next week
12:13pal
12:14go yankees okay that is nick costos and we will be right back
