the other parts of the comments that really stood out to me with Gerard Mayo talking about Drake May in the quarterback room was a New England Patriots head coach was asked a direct question about a thought process on a roster decision and we got an answer Devin like we got a detailed answer you know what I'm saying Devin what we're getting I I know exactly what you mean I think it's what's up those media people up in New England they don't they don't know how to really react I think I think they're just like he's answering questions let's just ask more and more questions Mayo he has been very open in discussing things and been I think at sometimes like brutally honest and maybe too honest for the liking of some of the people in the building but um it I think he's Paving his own path he's not trying to be like Bill he's not trying to be like anybody he's just being himself and I think I think the players will see that and they'll really want to play for him they'll want to really buy into what he's bringing um that's the kind of guy he's been you know when I share the locker room with him as a player then as a coach he's been very open he's been just a straight shooter and tell you exactly how it is and I think guys will respect that and you know I think he'll still manage and learn you know the things he wants to say and doesn't want to say and I think he'll be calculating I think he does a little bit at already so I'm excited to see you know he's obviously a good friend of mine so I'm excited to see him just perform this year as a head coach and and kind of really take over those re and really get comfortable in that position yeah your first year in the pros was his third and then you played six seasons with him and then obviously he was on the coaching staff in New England until you you retired so what's your best guess on what's going to be his biggest difference what's going to be the biggest difference between and bich this year Devin yeah I think for this team right now I think what'll be his opportunity to really relate and try to push these guys in a direction that I don't necessarily think we'll see the results maybe right away or all the time but I think his ability to really get these guys to understand we have to get better day by day week by week and we have to progress to something down the line I think will be his kind of selling point I think the difference is when you're you get to New England you play under a guy like Bill bich there is no progressing to possibly be good next year like when Bill bellich is your head coach it's all about how do we win as many games this year and have a chance to win a championship because that's that's what he that's what his Aura is that's everything he's about it's what he's established in this league so I think I think with geran and his ability to really get to know these players and you know a lot of these players are already there under him especially on the defensive side they already know him they know how he operates so I think he'll get this team to really see the future and I think it it very similar to Arizona with John G in last year like yeah they didn't win a lot of games but when you watch that team play each week they were out there playing their butts off they were looking better they had some big upsets you talk about Dallas and Pittsburgh some big wins in the season even though the season didn't work out the way that they wanted to I I know they're excited going into 2024 because of what they established the year before and I think Mayo will'll try to have that same type of energy and attitude with this team this year catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12:00 to 3 Eastern for free
