Introduction with Nick Fitzy Stevens
00:00:01
Savage Boston
All right, guys, welcome back to the Savage Boston podcast. We're here tonight with a very special guest, friend of the pod, host of the two to six hour hours on WEI in the afternoon, ah aptly named the WEI afternoon show.
00:00:17
Savage Boston
ah We're here with Nick Fitzy Stevens. How are doing?
00:00:20
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
What up, guys? Good to see you as always. Savage, a.k.a. the great and mighty aggregatorious and, of course, Snoot Doggy Dog in the house as well. What up, Snoot?

Come on. Meow.
00:00:36
Snooty
Love it.
00:00:37
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Meow. I got to listen. ah One thing I always promised just because I'm on the radio for four hours every day talking Boston sports doesn't mean that a I don't have a podcast on my own that I have to maintain as well.
00:00:49
Savage Boston
like that
00:00:50
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Six rings and football things. But on top of it, whenever anyone's kind enough to say, hey, our podcast, we'd love to have you on to talk about the things that you talk about. Twenty five hours, at twenty five hours the rest of your week.
00:01:01
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I always never am am I going to come in jaded. Never am I going to like work at a pizzeria and then come over to your house and you'll be like, oh, we're having pizza. I'm not going to sigh. I'm not going to walk out. I'm going always bring energy. I'm always going to be excited because you asked me in your house.
00:01:16
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
So, ah you know what? I'm bringing a seven layer dip and 15 pieces of flair, baby.
00:01:21
Savage Boston
And you know what? When you love pizza, you love pizza. um All right, man.
00:01:26
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Exactly.
Patriots' Recent Performance Analysis
00:01:27
Savage Boston
We'll get started. you know And yeah obviously... we're all pretty ecstatic that we actually a game. I think to to preface this, I mean, this is, this doesn't have to be like a circle jerk podcast, but like, you know, I think the fandom in general is, is, is elated because it felt like a game that truly we, for some reason couldn't win as if this team literally forgot how to win, which is how it's felt for a couple years.
00:01:33
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yes.
00:01:47
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Mm-hmm.
00:01:52
Savage Boston
Like they, they just, they knew how to lose. And, and I think this is the whole culture piece that Vrabel is getting after is like, you know, getting rid of literally all six captains from last year is like,
00:02:03
Savage Boston
I think variable felt like this group knew how to lose and he's trying to correct it and keep this team in it. And just like this past weekend, they're in a dog fight, you know, the, the return, the kick return after the punt return. Like that's, that was crazy shit. I was standing up. i was what the fuck's going on?
00:02:19
Savage Boston
Like, it felt like this, it was a ridiculous turn of events and it just was, and don't know. They just found a way to win the game. So I guess fits. You want to just give me your first impressions on, on the game? How how did it, how it have you feeling?
00:02:30
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, see, that's at first I thought it was the most entertaining Patriots game since Tom Brady returned in that mutant creamsicle and pewter uniform that he never should have worn in the first place back in the fall of 2021.
00:02:35
Savage Boston
Oh, yeah.
00:02:45
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
That was the most electric Gillette Stadium has ever been in a non-playoff environment. That said, this was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. And I found myself getting more and more wrapped into it because I ended up having to watch these games in kind of a clinical capacity.
00:03:02
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Not that I don't allow myself to become emotionally invested, but I'm making notes and I'm reminding myself about key plays to talk about because not only is there the radio show every day, but we have to hop right on afterwards and do two, three hours of post game on WEI as well.
00:03:17
Savage Boston
Mm-hmm.
00:03:17
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
But that said like i i was able to sort of like extract you know you know nick fitzy stevens working media professional and just get right back into good old-fashioned foxborough fanboy fitzy form this game like it like it's like what's the name of the character that uh uh what's his bill hater does on on snl sebastian This game had everything.
00:03:42
Savage Boston
so
00:03:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
It had, oh, this game had, this game had punt return touchdowns. Pedro Pascal, the punter out kicking his coverage had kickoff return touchdowns. Steph digs, first downs, rodeo clowns to a, you a gonna do a, oh my God. It was just absolutely unbelievable.
00:04:00
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I mean, like that, how, what else would you want? Like this is the, this is the Maximus meme.
00:04:03
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:04:05
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Are you not entertained? And your point, Savage about the idea that this team knew how to lose and the biggest thing for them. I mean, the biggest takeaway was seeing Drake may play his best game to date by far.
00:04:19
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Come back, throw half as many passes as he did the week before, but be way more efficient, throw from almost as many yards as well. Three touchdowns, no turnovers, which was massive.
00:04:31
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
um The, you know, the absolute um Brady statue erection play of the day was Drake May to Ramondre for 56 on that busted up little wheel route thing. That was awesome.
00:04:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
But yeah, I don't even think those captains that Vrabel let go. I don't think though that none of those were bad guys. None of them were shitty leaders. None of them are bad
00:04:51
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:04:51
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
bad humans or bad football players. It's just, ah it's a culture refresh. And yes, all they knew how to do was lose. And whether it is Miami giving you the game, you finding a way to win or both, it doesn't matter because a win is a win.
00:04:58
Savage Boston
yeah
00:05:05
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And We all know every talking head, you know, it is hard to win in the National Football League. I will tell you that, Molly. I will tell you that. I've spoken to several people that would tell you to your face with words coming from their mouth, Molly, that it is hard to win in the National Football League.
00:05:24
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
We know that. We get it. But now the Patriots taught themselves how to win, and they did it with Josh McDaniels dialing up a beautiful West Coast style game plan with a little sprinkle of Shanahan shows he's evolving and learning.
00:05:27
Snooty
Thank you.
00:05:37
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Drake was great. Mondray was awesome. And when you needed him, the $104 million million dollar Milton man, ah a.k.a. the milkman, came through in the end. It was awesome.
00:05:48
Savage Boston
Big
00:05:48
Snooty
Yeah, no and one one of the things you kind of touched on, it one of the things that kind of pissed me off yesterday and today is the amount of fans are complaining about, like, oh, the defense still isn't great. I'm like, dude, they won eight games in two years.
00:06:01
Snooty
Like, who cares? They won. And they won in a place that they never win.
Player Injuries and Recovery
00:06:06
Snooty
I saw a stat. They're 17 and 45 in Miami all time. That's astounding.
00:06:10
Savage Boston
big win yesterday. big one yesterday
00:06:12
Snooty
That's crazy.
00:06:12
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yes.
00:06:13
Snooty
That's including Brady. And he's got a he has to account for most of those 17, right? Yeah.
00:06:17
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yes. That is a great point. Kayshawn's snooty. That's.
00:06:21
Savage Boston
That's your new K-Shun's movie. That's a good one.
00:06:24
Snooty
I'll take it.
00:06:25
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I just that one just came to me about five seconds ago.
00:06:26
Savage Boston
You have to change the Twitter for that one.
00:06:27
Snooty
Mm-hmm.
00:06:27
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
i was like, I like this one. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Kayshawn's snooty. ah That's that's a great point. This was also all this wasn't done in. ah Yeah, Cleveland. This wasn't done in Jacksonville.
00:06:41
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
This was done in the South Beach House of Horrors. This like they hadn't won since the Antonio Brown game. Not it wasn't like the Antonio Brown game where he like went off. It was the the only game that he played for the Patriots in 2019.
00:06:52
Savage Boston
Mm-hmm.
00:06:53
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
They don't lose there, whether it's the heat, the humidity, if it was built, ah you know, if it's a Bermuda Triangle on an ancient Indian burial ground, whatever it was, they don't win there.
00:07:02
Snooty
Mm-hmm.
00:07:03
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Tua had never lost. You had every stat, every little stupid trivial nugget going against you this week. Tua, 7-0 as a starter. ah You know, the Patriots not doing well there as well. Vrabel, no win.
00:07:15
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And you're also coming off. Savage, you're now you're a season ticket member just in time for me not to be the jackass on the Jumbotron.
00:07:21
Savage Boston
got to come down. Tailgate 2000.
00:07:22
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I know.
00:07:23
Savage Boston
Come down.
00:07:23
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
That's it. Like energy couldn't be the same thing. You know, they say scientifically, it's a principle I stole from TimeCop. The same matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
00:07:32
Savage Boston
I'm coming.
00:07:33
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
So unfortunately I, you know, I had, I had to leave, but now you're there. So we know the LFG mojo is represented.
00:07:37
Savage Boston
but Oh, yeah.
00:07:39
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Um, but, uh, yeah, like that, that first week was the ultimate wet fart out of a sad trombone of a game. Like it was like, it was three hours in a, in a veterinarian's office with a leaky ceiling.
00:07:52
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like it was and crying children. It was awful. It was such a bad game.
00:07:56
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:07:57
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Nobody was on point. Um, and, uh, Snooty, the that your other point ah is also like people need to remember the defense is still getting to know each other.
00:08:09
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Robert Spillane has missed more tackles than he's made. He'll figure that out. And you don't have a defensive player of the year candidate and inarguably your best defender on the field yet. I can't tell you when he's coming back, but just think about how much better that's going to make the secondary and how much easier that's going to make life for everyone rushing the passer or defending those, you know, unclogged middle lanes.
00:08:31
Snooty
and And the other thing about
00:08:31
Savage Boston
So just to hold on, let me, let me chime really quick about the Christian Gonzalez injury thing. Again, just to preface it. So people who out there who know, and I say this often, I practice physical therapy.
00:08:42
Savage Boston
I'm a physical therapist.
00:08:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Mm-hmm.
00:08:43
Savage Boston
Okay.
00:08:43
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
That's right.
00:08:43
Savage Boston
So we stop.
00:08:43
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh, great. Oh, yes. let Bring us in.
00:08:46
Savage Boston
I don't talk about it that often because people generally don't want to hear about it, but like for injury stuff, there's either one of three options with Christian Gonzalez. Okay.
00:08:54
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yep.
00:08:54
Savage Boston
Option number one is he was misdiagnosed. Okay.
00:08:57
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Mm-hmm.
00:08:57
Savage Boston
They told him it was a great two hamstring. It's going to take four weeks and, it was a much worse grade two hamstring and it's going like an eight week, eight week thing. Okay. Number two is he's a slow healer.
00:09:08
Savage Boston
That's an option you don't want. Don't like that.
00:09:11
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Mm-hmm.
00:09:11
Savage Boston
If someone says this should be a four-week thing, it takes eight weeks. Don't love that for the future. You can talk about his contract situation in the future as much as you want. I'm still signing him, whatever. And option three is he had a setback, which again, like out of those three options, I would say probably the most likely is that he had a setback somewhere.
00:09:22
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:09:28
Savage Boston
it was theorized. Maybe it was in Minnesota he had a setback, but ah but it's only one of those three things has to be true. Okay, because
00:09:36
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Slow healer, misdiagnosis, or the setback. And that's what, that's what like Bedard and Breer and Giardi all sort of were intimating that like, because they, because yeah, yeah.
00:09:39
Savage Boston
her one of those three things.
00:09:46
Savage Boston
There could have been a snapback.
00:09:47
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Cause they all had him penciled in for week one. So I think the plan was bring him out to Minnesota, continue the rehab, uh, not play him against the giants and that absolute disaster on the infamous, uh, rats in the building night down and in the Meadowlands.
00:09:50
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:10:02
Savage Boston
Mm-hmm.
00:10:02
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Um, some something must have, he must have retweaked it along the way. Like maybe they didn't think it was significant as it was. They accelerate the timetable.
Strategic Changes and Improvements
00:10:11
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Then there's a setback.
00:10:12
Savage Boston
I just, but but if that happens, why wouldn't, if he retweaks something, right, why wouldn't that get reported?
00:10:12
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And so now here we are in the middle of it all over again.
00:10:20
Savage Boston
Like, why are we sitting here, like, theorizing this?
00:10:22
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Being cagey about, I don't know. i don't like i don't I don't understand why people won't just, is it because the organization doesn't want the egg on their face?
00:10:24
Savage Boston
Like, know what I mean? Like,
00:10:31
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Is because they don't want to deal with the embarrassment of like, oh man, you guys can't get anything right. You barely won a game where Miami's running back stepped out of bounds and now you've misdiagnosed your best player's hamstring injury.
00:10:41
Savage Boston
I would have thought that would come out in like the national way. Like someone's like, like especially from, let's say Christian Gonzalez is like agent, right? If you're Jordan Schultz and you're talking to agents, cause that's, that's what he does. Right. He talks to people's agents and you Jordan, Christian Gonzalez ends up looking bad.
00:10:50
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:10:53
Savage Boston
Cause he, everyone's saying he's soft and he's a slow healer.
00:10:57
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Right.
00:10:57
Savage Boston
Why wouldn't Christian, Christian Gonzalez agent reach out and say, actually ah he just tweaked it. it had a minor setback. That's what's taking longer. Like, wouldn't that be in his best interest, so to speak, you know?
00:11:08
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, i like the same way, like the like how did we find out that Jalen Polk was going to have surgery? It was probably either Jalen Polk, um Jalen Polk's agent, or Elliott Wolfe who leaked it out because all of them would have reason to have leaked it out.
00:11:18
Savage Boston
or
00:11:23
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Of course, now he's somebody else's problem.
00:11:24
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:11:26
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And what a deal it was. Really, what it what just where were you when the Jalen Polk era came to an end?
00:11:29
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:11:31
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh, God.
00:11:31
Savage Boston
Oh man. With a, yeah. Not with a bang, but with a whimper, but yeah, that was an angel gets there.
00:11:34
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Every time Ladd McConkie catches a pass, I cry. And ain't yeah, and exactly. A cat loses its whiskers.
00:11:40
Snooty
Yeah.
00:11:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
God, that's freaking sucks.
00:11:42
Savage Boston
Yeah. Yeah. Um,
00:11:44
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
um Yeah. But so I don't know about the Gonzo thing. Like when he comes back, it'll make life so much better for the Pats.
00:11:50
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:11:50
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
But as of now, I don't know, like we'll find out Wednesday. I don't think he's going to practice. I would not be surprised if he's not out there.
00:11:56
Savage Boston
agree.
00:11:59
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And then if he ends up missing four games, guys, why the hell? Then they just put them on IR in the first place.
00:12:03
Snooty
yeah
00:12:04
Savage Boston
And that shows you, well, that in itself actually is a great demonstration of um the miscommunication or an error on behalf of either, again, Gonzalez with his communication or the medical staff.
00:12:18
Savage Boston
And it's very possible the medical staff, because things aren't aren't perfect. They're going to come in and they MRI is hamstring. They say, hey, here's the damage.
00:12:23
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Right.
00:12:24
Savage Boston
It should heal at this rate, blah, blah, blah, week one. And then if Gonzo can't, like, it's such an explosive position. If you can't go at 100%, you can't go.
00:12:31
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
um you
00:12:34
Savage Boston
It's not David Andrews wrapping his fucking wrist or something and then go, you know what mean? Like, if you can't explode at 100%, you get shit on.
00:12:39
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
right
00:12:43
Savage Boston
Like, he would have gotten smoked against Tyreek Hill. So you have to be, it's rapid desperation.
00:12:45
Snooty
Yeah.
00:12:45
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. And he's been great. He's been great against Tyreek Hill. Like Tyreek Hill used to put him in his, he put his free, he put, you know, Christian Gonzalez and his Instagram stories more than he did his own kids. And he's got a ton of those, uh,
00:12:59
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
ah Yeah, it's not like a shoulder or something where you can just like Micah Parsons with like the back thing where he obviously must have gotten an epidural or got like a cortisone shot to help him mitigate the pain for a few weeks or tore it all or whatever the hell else everybody gets.
00:13:05
Savage Boston
Yep.
00:13:13
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like if your hamstring is pulled, your hamstrings pulled and that's that like you're not getting you're not going out there.
00:13:16
Snooty
Yeah.
00:13:19
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
So. Now, caution and prudence are the play, but everyone wants to see him out there because we every Pats fan was just as excited as as the next, you know, chicken wing eating buffalo chips, smearing Bud Light drinking, you know, son of a gun in the parking lot, listening to Crazy Train.
00:13:35
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like, this is awesome. I can't wait till this
Upcoming Games and Challenges
00:13:38
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
guy comes out there, locks it up and gets paid $35 million dollars a year for four or five years next year. Like, this is going to make all of that a mess. But first things first, just get his ass back out there.
00:13:46
Savage Boston
Fast.
00:13:47
Snooty
I'm still not entirely worried about the defense yet. In part because Gonzalez has to come back. But then, like, Miami, I know they're not a good team. They have a lot of weapons and a lot of skill on offense, though.
00:13:58
Savage Boston
asked
00:13:59
Snooty
They're very, very fast. That's still a good scheme that's still that can score points and score points quickly. And if two is in rhythm and he gets the ball out on his first read, then you know they put up points. they They frequently put up points against the Patriots.
00:14:13
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:14:13
Snooty
I'm not going to use that as the game where you know I'm going to lose my mind over. And then the Raiders, yeah, they shit the bed against the Raiders.
00:14:21
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Straight up.
00:14:21
Snooty
but Straight up, it just happened.
00:14:22
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Good old fact.
00:14:23
Snooty
Yeah.
00:14:23
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
That is just a good old fashioned country bed shitting right there. Call of snooty.
00:14:28
Snooty
Right. So I'm not going to freak out yet.
00:14:28
Savage Boston
I got nervous in that game only because when I felt like that was the first game where, and I know they changed the offense pretty dramatically from week one to week two, changed what they were doing, ran a ton more motion, less shotgun.
00:14:30
Snooty
Yeah.
00:14:40
Savage Boston
Like it was way different.
00:14:41
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh, the numbers on the way that McDaniels tweaked the offense this week, he was under center more than half the time, whereas he was in shotgun like 75% of the time week one way more motion as well.
00:14:50
Savage Boston
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:52
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
12 personnel all the time.
00:14:53
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:14:54
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like, Yeah, Drake ran the ball more and more efficiently this week. Like everything you wanted to see, it was it was it was definitely McDaniels with a heavy splash of Shanahan.
00:15:06
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And that shows me, A, that he invited, I mean, people say that that stuff has always been in the McDaniels playbook, that it's a very significant playbook as well that can go a million different ways, hearkening back to the old, what kind of offense does Tom Brady run? He runs the game plan offense. They'll do whatever they need to do that given week to beat you, whether it's running, passing, or both.
00:15:26
Savage Boston
yeah
00:15:26
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
But that he's adapting accordingly and that he's playing to his quarterback's strengths, not just doing what he thinks he should be doing. So that's team over scheme to me, which is a great development, a great step in the evolution of this team.
00:15:43
Savage Boston
I want to give Drake May just like some of his due because like is this the player that you envisioned him becoming? You know what I mean Like like a guy who can play within a scheme, be accurate, still get out of the pocket, ah be a little creative.
00:16:01
Savage Boston
I mean, like the way he was moving in the pocket was was like really great.
00:16:06
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
it was go it was it was gorgeous
00:16:06
Savage Boston
I mean, it was almost Brady-esque, you know, like stepping up with that Ramond or a dime, you know?
00:16:07
Snooty
Yeah.
00:16:11
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
yeah you know who he reminded me of actually uh we were talking about it on the radio today how he was running all of the uh those like naked boots and the you know the waggles and he would fake the handoff and run around um he It reminded me again, going back to Shanahan style football.
00:16:29
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
um not any you know I think he's a he's a bigger guy and I think ultimately he can be better than this guy. It reminded me of Jake the Snake Plumber.
00:16:40
Savage Boston
Jake Plummer.
00:16:41
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, remember old Jake? That's right.
00:16:42
Savage Boston
Well, the Broncos were a tough squad there for like a hot minute, you know?
00:16:42
Snooty
Mm-hmm.
00:16:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. that's right yeah He was good. Remember that was the the famous game with the champ Bailey interception and everything.
00:16:48
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:16:50
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like he gave the Pats fits. He was not a bad quarterback at all. I think Drake may is more talented than him, but I sort of had visions of that.
00:16:55
Savage Boston
Mm-hmm.
00:16:56
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like, Oh yeah, that's right. That ah offense used to always be a pain in the ass to stop. Cause they could run and he was so smooth in the pocket. Like I loved it. I like, if you get that version of Drake may,
00:17:11
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
every week or some version, some semblance of that version, they're going to win more games than they're not going to. Now, maybe the defense will cost them a few. They still need to, you know, we're going to figure out what they're doing with all the wide receivers.
00:17:24
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Hollins had one catch. Pop Douglas had one catch. ah You know, booty had one catch as well.
00:17:30
Snooty
Mm-hmm.
00:17:30
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like the wide receiver, you know, and I'm fine with where Steph digs is right now. He's got 10 catches on the season. He's going to hit all of it.
00:17:37
Savage Boston
That's
00:17:37
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
If he keeps it up, he'll hit all his reception and all of his yardage props. And dad, he's to have a very good Christmas.
00:17:42
Savage Boston
fine.
00:17:42
Snooty
like you
00:17:42
Savage Boston
Mm-hmm.
00:17:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
um
00:17:43
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
But like, you know, the running backs are the strength of this team right now, followed by the tight ends and then the wide receivers. But, The quarterback made a made a dramatic statement on Sunday saying, now I'm about to show you guys who I really am and what I'm capable of. And the funny thing is, i was thinking like, oh, shit, the Steelers game is going to be tough. They got Jalen Ramsey, got Joey Porter Jr. Jabril Peppers is going to want to pay the Pats back.
00:18:09
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And then I looked, it was like, oh, wow. They averaged giving up 400 yards a game. Like that Steelers defense is not what it used to be.
00:18:17
Savage Boston
They got shredded by the Jets.
00:18:17
Snooty
No. and
00:18:18
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
No.
00:18:20
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. Shredded by the Jets. How about also shredded by Sam? It's like, it's like, yeah, they got shredded by it. It's been nothing but former quarterbacks paying the Jets back so far this year between Sammy square jaw, the Lego QB and freaking discount double check the first week.
00:18:36
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
It's kind of fun actually. like
00:18:38
Savage Boston
Yeah, they I mean, I think honestly, I think people are right on that take. You know everyone just says they just looked at the the Steelers name and Aaron Rodgers made the assumption that it was going to be um the Steelers had to win the game for some reason.
00:18:45
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Hmm.
00:18:49
Savage Boston
And like, I don't know. There's no reason why the Patriots couldn't win on Sunday. Like, I'm like, that's that's how I put it. Like, I don't know.
00:18:56
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
No.
00:18:56
Savage Boston
Like, there's what's the case that they they can't win?
00:19:00
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Well, who's, I mean, what do they have? The Jalen Warren for a lead back doesn't throw fear in the hearts of many men.
00:19:06
Savage Boston
I mean, Rodgers can still sling it a little bit.
00:19:06
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Uh, Rodgers can definitely sling it.
00:19:08
Savage Boston
You he's older, but he can sling it, you know.
00:19:09
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh, yeah. And they have they
Special Teams and Player Evaluations
00:19:11
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
have good receivers, too. Well, I mean, DK Metcalf without Christian Gonzalez is going to be difficult. that may have to result That may have to result in a double team, which is going to leave Marcus Jones or Alex Austin.
00:19:24
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Hell, we don't even have DJ James anymore. i don't know the hell else plays cornerback for the Pats. It's going to leave some guys on islands against Roman Wilson and against Calvin Austin. Like, not to say these guys are world beaters, but...
00:19:36
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
it makes life a little more tough. And if it's a zone, then Rogers will just cut it up all day long and it'll be death by a thousand well spiraled paper cuts.
00:19:44
Snooty
Yeah, I think.
00:19:44
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Uh, yeah, but the Pats can, the Pats can and should be able to score against and Don't forget 14 and four this century against the Stellars.
00:19:52
Savage Boston
Yeah,
00:19:53
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Uh, I'm sure a lot of those were McDaniels coach game snooty. So, uh, I, you know, there's a reason for them to be confident. They win this game Sunday.
00:20:04
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Watch out there. There may forecast might call for a hundred percent chance of Pat's nation insufferability next week.
00:20:10
Savage Boston
real bad.
00:20:10
Snooty
That's right.
00:20:11
Savage Boston
Oh,
00:20:11
Snooty
especially with the Panthers on deck after when you're, then you're already talking three and one and we're going to the playoffs, you know?
00:20:15
Savage Boston
man.
00:20:17
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh no.
00:20:17
Snooty
Yeah,
00:20:18
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh, it's, it's so, it's, it's so, it's so on. And have you guys looked at the, the schedule for October?
00:20:25
Snooty
it gets easier, right?
00:20:25
Savage Boston
um
00:20:27
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Uh, it's not so. Okay. So, so if they beat the Steelers on Sunday, you take down Ginsburg to go to two and one, you definitely beaten the Panthers. I don't, you know, I don't care how feisty Dave Canales, the former sex addict and his Panthers are no chance.
00:20:44
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
All right. You lose in Buffalo. Okay. You know, got to give it up. You know, Josh Allen is an American superhero. And, uh, this is my hottest, worst taken Pats nation right now. The Buffalo Bills rivalry uniforms are the best ones.
00:20:58
Savage Boston
i don't I don't disagree with you. I know that people got – like it was funny. So your colleague, right Andy Hart.
00:21:02
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Just say it. Just say it.
00:21:05
Savage Boston
So Andy Hart, right, your your guy, he got crapped on all over the because he just was saying he's like – he didn't like the uniforms, right? Like he just wasn't into the Patriots uniforms, right?
00:21:15
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
ah he No, no, he actually kind of likes them. i I don't like, I thought they were okay.
00:21:18
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:21:19
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I like, I'm fine with them. They're just like a smoky Carolina. You know, it's, it's, I know what went into it.
00:21:24
Snooty
Yeah.
00:21:25
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like, oh it's the perfect storm, the nor'easter, the blue of the sky, the ocean.
00:21:29
Savage Boston
i don't love I don't love the color scheme.
00:21:29
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
yeah
00:21:32
Savage Boston
Honestly, like I don't love that it went away from the traditional color scheme.
00:21:32
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. Not my favorite.
00:21:34
Savage Boston
like I like the traditional color scheme, so people can get mad.
00:21:35
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Right.
00:21:37
Savage Boston
i don't really care.
00:21:38
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
The Buffalo one, though, like, dude, when they're out there in that iced out uniform with the ice numbers and the iced out bill, and it's like, that's kind of sexy. That's kind of hot.
00:21:47
Savage Boston
but I'm going to watching the game and be like, who the fuck am I watching? It's going to be like, you know, snow white and like and and gray.
00:21:50
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Right. Right.
00:21:53
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
right
00:21:53
Savage Boston
And I'll be like, what the fuck are we watching?
00:21:54
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Well, the Pets don't wear theirs until November against the Jets.
00:21:58
Savage Boston
Oh, right.
00:21:58
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And the Jets, actually, yeah, they don't they don't get to both wear them.
00:21:58
Savage Boston
So they're not wondering what they're going to do. So the build's where I'm against us?
00:22:01
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
The home team gets wear them. Yes. And then we wear them against the Jets.
00:22:03
Savage Boston
Okay. Okay.
00:22:05
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And, I mean, the Jets ones are awesome. They're, like, all black. So that way, like, Jets players for one night can feel like they actually get to disappear and hide from their fans, which is awesome.
00:22:13
Savage Boston
Yeah. the
00:22:15
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
They're, like, shitty mime uniforms.
00:22:17
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:22:17
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
All right. So you lose to the Bills. good i bet you it would be a good game, 3-2. Then you go on the road to play the Saints. Okay, four and two. Hello.
00:22:27
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:22:27
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Then and on the road for a rematch with the ah for Vrabel to take on the Titans? Oh, come on. That's five and two. And then you play host to the Browns?
00:22:38
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I mean, i you know, I don't want to put the freaking cat before the proverbial Patriot Haas here, kids. But, like, I mean, it might be we might be giving out full-size candy bars for Halloween Savage, if you know I'm talking about.
00:22:51
Savage Boston
yeah
00:22:51
Snooty
Yeah, i mean I mean, and that was the whole thing, right? you just have to survive the first part of the season.
00:22:55
Savage Boston
Also want to throw it out there that it it doesn't stop being easier in some sense.
00:22:56
Snooty
And like...
00:22:59
Savage Boston
Like not to go with everything.
00:22:59
Snooty
know
00:23:00
Savage Boston
Like you have the Buccaneers who are like, have been not actually playing that well. Baker Mayfield, who's usually pretty good, is actually not look great. I know they do not, but he hasn't been that great.
00:23:06
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
2-0. 2-0, though. 2-0.
00:23:09
Savage Boston
And then it's back to the Jets. Then you get the Bengals without Joe Burrow. Okay. No Joe Burrow Bengals.
00:23:14
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Watch out. Yeah, but Jake Browning doesn't stink, and his girlfriend his girlfriend is...
00:23:17
Savage Boston
Browning has played well.
00:23:18
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
if If he plays half as hot as his girlfriend, then the bats are in trouble.
00:23:21
Savage Boston
And then it's the Giants, and then, of course, you've Bills-Ravens back-to-back, which is obviously the toughest stretch, and you end with Jets-Dolphins again. So it's it's really like going through it now, you're like, there is an obvious pathway.
00:23:32
Savage Boston
I'm not saying playoffs. No one go crazy. I'm not saying playoffs.
00:23:35
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Look what one win does to us.
00:23:37
Savage Boston
But it's our path.
00:23:38
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
A one win that they only get. They only get the win because the Miami freaking running back steps on the boundary marker on his way to the six-point house.
00:23:44
Savage Boston
It's my
00:23:49
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Not to say that Drake wouldn't have been able to engineer a quick last 45-second drive that would have led to Boragallus missing a game-winning 51-yarder.
00:23:56
Savage Boston
I
Leadership and Roster Speculations
00:23:57
Savage Boston
envisioned it happening. I was like, and I can't can't do Borg out. I can't do it.
00:24:01
Savage Boston
i literally, I think i you know like I've seen enough cut him.
00:24:01
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
No.
00:24:02
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Honestly,
00:24:04
Savage Boston
And it happened to be like,
00:24:04
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Launch this guy into the Aurora Boragallus.
00:24:05
Savage Boston
morning
00:24:07
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I don't get him out of here. Like, honestly, put him on a Blue Origin rocket ah with half of those female celebrities that thought they were astronauts and just fire it towards the sun and tell it to never return.
00:24:18
Snooty
um um I'm not giving up on him yet.
00:24:19
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Amazon Prime style. Get out of here.
00:24:20
Snooty
I'm not giving up on him yet. and Adam Vinatieri was almost cut by Parcells his rookie year. They had Matt Barr on fucking throwback.
00:24:28
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
That's right.
00:24:28
Snooty
They had Matt Barr on speed dial.
00:24:29
Savage Boston
Hot take.
00:24:29
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Good old Matt Barr.
00:24:29
Savage Boston
Beauty says, plus is Adam Benetari.
00:24:32
Snooty
No, I'm not saying that.
00:24:32
Savage Boston
Hot take. Putting it on Twitter.
00:24:34
Snooty
I'm not saying that.
00:24:34
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Come on.
00:24:35
Snooty
But Parcells basically sat him down and said, you got to make a fucking kicker.
00:24:35
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. Print the t-shirts right now.
00:24:38
Snooty
You're gone.
00:24:39
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:24:39
Snooty
And, you know, he went three for three the next game and the rest is history. Right. So like kickers are weird.
00:24:43
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:24:44
Snooty
I'm not giving up.
00:24:44
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Vinatieri was a cut above though.
00:24:45
Snooty
but Kickers are weird.
00:24:46
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
He was a different cat. ah He was a special animal.
00:24:48
Snooty
For sure.
00:24:49
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Um, what about, um, yeah What about the idea that like Parker, I was down there for training camp for a bunch of for a bunch of practices. like Romo was the better kicker. like I would have let Borg Alice go, signed him to the practice squad.
00:24:58
Savage Boston
Yes.
00:25:01
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Ain't nobody was going to claim him. Gone into the season with the guy that you know cut his own first name off. He was so excited to kick in the NFL again. Because you saw what happened last Sunday. He made all five in place of Young Way Coup and got player of the game and the mic drop on Sunday Night Football.
00:25:17
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:25:18
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Anyway, that you know again, it is what it is.
00:25:19
Savage Boston
No, you're right. You're right. He was the better kicker in camp, though, but he actually was the better kicker. He won the job. Just Vrabel drafted Borg Allis, and he's like, I'm just going to go with him. He's like, um i do my dress it was a sham tryout.
00:25:32
Savage Boston
For real, was a sham tryout.
00:25:32
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, it was.
00:25:33
Snooty
No, it was... Romo had to be so much better than Boragallis in order to to get that roster spot.
00:25:40
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, not just kind of like.
00:25:41
Snooty
Boragallis would have had to look like Warwasser, booting the porta-potty from 50 yards away or whatever it was.
00:25:42
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:25:43
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:25:44
Savage Boston
Yeah. Yeah. I think by the way, just to go hot takey and, and then I'll let, we'll let Fitzy go.
00:25:44
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:25:49
Savage Boston
We'll end the podcast. I know if it's, he's been very generous for this time.
00:25:52
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
ah it's Ah, dude, it's always a pleasure.
00:25:52
Savage Boston
Um,
00:25:53
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And this is also like, this is without, I'm trying to like be better behaved and more disciplined in the middle of the week. This is a beverage free podcast for me, which is like,
00:26:02
Savage Boston
We got to get you on the on a beverage pro podcast.
00:26:05
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I know I, next time I was going to say,
00:26:05
Savage Boston
We'll get the treehouse out here. You're somewhere in the south of Boston or something, so you get like vitamin C. Like we're up in treehouse land.
00:26:11
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. Oh, VSV. Yeah. Look, I'm wearing some VSB swag right now. Like, yeah, there was that photo you took with Babs week one.
00:26:14
Savage Boston
There you
00:26:18
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
It was like nine o'clock in the parking lot.
00:26:18
Savage Boston
Oh, yeah.
00:26:20
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And the two of you made up and I was like, Jesus, Mercy and Joseph Savage is taking down a haze for breakfast. Like but that's where you that's where you get your nickname from.
00:26:27
Savage Boston
I am hated. Woo-hoo.
00:26:29
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
damn
00:26:30
Savage Boston
yeah Yeah, that's it like 15 minutes away from me. and I love Treehouse. But, like, yeah, it's – yeah, I don't know. I think um to to not get hot, hot takey, but I think it was Andrew Callahan who's – he's been on the pod, good guy.
00:26:43
Savage Boston
um he said that he thinks it looks like Elliott Wolfe could be on the outs at the end of the season, judging by all the guys they've cut, all the contract extensions.
00:26:43
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yep.
00:26:52
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
It paid for his sins of McConkie alone, that son of a bitch.
00:26:55
Savage Boston
Well, exactly. I mean, and you trade in Polk, like, and I can't agree more.
00:26:56
Snooty
Yeah.
00:26:59
Savage Boston
I actually think there's probably even potentially, and don't know this, but is there something in his contract that says Wolf is there for the transition period for one year? Like, you know what i mean? What's in there?
00:27:08
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
No.
00:27:09
Savage Boston
Because like, it's not Frabel's guy. They're getting rid of every fucking player he signed or drafted. Like.
00:27:16
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
There's one player on the team because, you know, he was heavily involved with Belichick and Matt Groh the last couple of years, and those drafts were utterly disastrous. And that's putting it mildly.
00:27:25
Savage Boston
yep Yeah.
00:27:26
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
He runs ship in 2024. The only guy that is currently on the team and making any sort of positive contribution or impact with all due respect to the living legend of Caden Wallace is the quarterback. You took a three, which was an obvious no brainer. You don't even get credit for that.
00:27:42
Savage Boston
yeah
00:27:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
So like when I, so when we all say, you know, in full office space throat, Elliot Wolf, what would you say you do here?
00:27:49
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like, unless he's just running eyes and ears Intel for the crafts, I don't know, but I can guarantee you that when the time's up, Vrabel will end the charades of this little slap and tickle like, oh yeah, Ellie and I are best buddies and we report back all the time.
00:28:02
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:28:03
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
No, no, no, no.
00:28:04
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:28:04
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
You run everything through stretch and cowden and you don't give a flying, flipping Foxborough about what Elliot says.
00:28:10
Savage Boston
Dude, Matt, throw.
00:28:10
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And I'm sure he's he's very, seems like a nice guy.
00:28:10
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:28:12
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I've talked to him a couple of times. Nice enough guy, does know football, just... I mean, you want to talk about like the guy that when he walks up to the table, you and the rest of the bachelor party are like bet against this guy. Do do not, do not think that he is bringing a hot hand to the table. Like those dice are going to shatter. They're so cold.
00:28:30
Savage Boston
Yeah. I mean, Matt Groh literally works in, like, accounting. Like, I don't know where he – I think he's, like, a like a lawyer. think he's, like, in compliance. Like, I don't know where he is. He's buried somewhere in that building. like Like, I don't know what he's doing, but he's in the building somewhere.
00:28:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Well, his dad was a coach and he's a, and he's a talent evaluator and, You remember his famous line? You want fast people. You want a fast football team. You draft fast players.
00:28:50
Savage Boston
Yeah, and he drafted Patrick Mahomes' number one target.
00:28:51
Snooty
like Yeah.
00:28:53
Savage Boston
He's catching touchdowns now with Patty.
00:28:54
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh, God.
00:28:55
Savage Boston
Just tell him, hey, just go run straight down the field.
00:28:55
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Stop. Oh.
00:28:57
Savage Boston
He runs a four two Patrick will find him.
00:28:59
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Oh.
00:28:59
Snooty
Yeah, Cole Strange is fast, too.
00:29:00
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, there's too much. there's There's too much positive in Pats Nation right now to bathe in a to bathe in all this pain all over again.
00:29:06
Savage Boston
Yeah, we need to go back to 2002 and just shit on the organization.
00:29:06
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
But yeah. Right now, let's yeah let's go let's go back to the let's go back to the victory vibes and how much fun Sunday might be.

Savage Boston
Anyway, well, to end the the victory cigar here, i would say brilliant game. love the you know Love getting the win. Tremendous win. It feels really great.
00:29:23
Savage Boston
ah you know We needed it so bad. The whole of relief for Patriots Nation, right?
00:29:27
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Huge.
00:29:27
Savage Boston
Sigh of relief. But I would say, um you know in your opinion, Patriots winning on Sunday over the Steelers?
00:29:28
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Huge.
00:29:34
Savage Boston
You got them winning or what?
00:29:34
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yes, I do. I have i have them winning. not Not by a ton. I don't think there's going to be a lot of blowout. There might be one or two blowouts along the way. I don't see the pain. That's why that's why I figured there would be plenty of defeats along the way as well, because it's a developing team. It's a very young team.
00:29:50
Snooty
Mm-hmm.
Final Predictions and Closing Remarks
00:29:51
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And they're just, you know, obviously still trying to figure out how to win and how to win consistently. Now you've you figured out how to win. Now you've figure out how to win on your terms. You've got to figure out how to win multiple times in a row. But the Steelers are so far from unbeatable at this point.
00:30:05
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And it's not the Aaron Rodgers, you know, reverse Texas rodeo death match like it was for him wanting to beat everybody in the building against the Jets. Like, <unk> I'm sure there I'm sure it'll be a good game, but there isn't a reason why the Patriots can't win this game.
00:30:21
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And then if they win two in a row, they'll really start believing in themselves. I can't wait. I would love, I would love, cause I would love, not only do I, do I love positive callers and positive topics, believe it or not working in Boston sports media, but I love it when the callers call and go, you guys, two weeks ago, you are ready to run Vrabel out of town. and You want to drink me drawn and quartered in the town square. You wanted Cowden in the starcade.
00:30:48
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
God, and Josh McDaniels castrated. God damn it. This team's pretty good. Look at him. Thanks. I'll hang up and listen. I love it. I love it. Let's go, Pats.
00:30:57
Savage Boston
Snooty, what do you got? What's your, you got one and
00:31:00
Snooty
I got them winning, but I think it's going high-scoring game because I think it's two defenses that are going to give up some points, give up some big plays.
00:31:03
Savage Boston
winning?
00:31:05
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
i might but might bet the I might like the over in this one.
00:31:05
Snooty
That's the reach.
00:31:08
Savage Boston
Yeah.
00:31:08
Snooty
Yeah.
00:31:08
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I'm going to take all the money I win. betting ah the bills every single way to put the dolphins into the earth on Thursday night and end the Mike McDaniel era.
00:31:18
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Thus, thus dies the vape crusader where he actually smoked on TV two years ago.
00:31:18
Savage Boston
Yeah. Yeah.
00:31:19
Snooty
Yep.
00:31:24
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
um Yeah, the over, that's a nice call snoots.
00:31:27
Snooty
I think it's going to – the Patriots clearly give up big plays, right?
00:31:27
Savage Boston
yeah
00:31:30
Snooty
And I know not quite the same caliber of receiver and weapons in Pittsburgh as it is in Miami, but think he's a better quarterback. Even at this point, Rodgers better. So I think if the pass rush doesn't get home, I think they're going to give up some points.
00:31:43
Snooty
I think the Patriots are also going to score some points on offense too.
00:31:46
Savage Boston
yeah I got a Pats winning course and I'll be there.
00:31:47
Snooty
so
00:31:49
Savage Boston
Hang out at the tailgate.
00:31:49
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, will.
00:31:51
Savage Boston

00:31:56
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Steelers, one and a half and over under 44 and a half. Ooh, Pat's money line in the over. Talk to me, goose. Let's go.
00:32:04
Savage Boston
Yeah. The order, the over sounds pretty good. I had 44 points.
00:32:07
Snooty
Yeah.
00:32:07
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah.
00:32:07
Savage Boston
I would take you over on that.
00:32:09
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah, I'm get in on that one.
00:32:09
Savage Boston
I think, I think the, I mean, i don't know what's happening with the Patriots defensive coordinator. It's another story that we have little to do with.
00:32:15
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
I know.
00:32:16
Savage Boston
He's another health concern.
00:32:16
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Terrell Williams. Yeah, poor guy.
00:32:17
Snooty
That's, I mean.
00:32:17
Savage Boston
He's having a ah probably – yeah, yeah.
00:32:19
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
now No, one no one knows anything. they That is tightly vested. That is Fort Knoxified.
00:32:23
Savage Boston
I mean, i can you can – yeah, you can get your eyes, but yeah.
00:32:25
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
And as it should be, too, honestly, because, you know, it's obviously a very delicate situation.
00:32:27
Snooty
Yeah.
00:32:31
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
So, you know, even Josh McDaniels, when we had him on the radio last week, was like, first and foremost, I just want to say wish Terrell Williams all the best in this fight.
00:32:31
Savage Boston
Yeah, health concern.
00:32:39
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Like, ooh, fantastic.
00:32:40
Savage Boston
Yeah, it's not good. So we'll see how that goes.
00:32:41
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
and I know.
00:32:41
Snooty
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:42
Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
Yeah. But za Zach, Zach Kerr is learning at the side of Rabel and hopefully he'll be able to hold down the fort if, and when Terrell Williams can come back. um Yeah.

Savage Boston
Yeah.

Nick "Fitzy" Stevens
