Obviously, Tom Brady.

When the Bucks were flying high, Brady got enormous credit.

I remember anyone talking about Bruce Arians has really coached this team up.

This was a seven and nine team last year.

Whose quarterback?

Yes, he did pass over 5000 yards and through 30 touchdowns.

There's upside there.

No risk it no biscuit, right, according Toa Arians, but also through 30 interceptions and handed the other team Ah, 112 points.

So everyone knew.

Just put a competent quarterback back.

There's not gonna turn the ball over 15 times.

Your nine and seven Tom Brady.

The over and under was 9.5 games right.

It's got to be at least 10 wins, and then Grok shows up.

And then and then And then Antonio Brown shows up, and now Antonio Brown's had time to be with the team and practice with the team and and Godwin and Evans.

And everybody is available right?

And they're playing a Panthers team, which, yes, their defense looked good early.

I just want to mention the number of points they have given up the last four games.

23 27 25 33.

Not the worst in the world.

But that's not doesn't sound like some fearsome kind of defense.

They're they're okay.

They're pretty good defense.

They're fine.

They're three win team.

Know Tom Brady was given so much credit.

As a matter of fact, what do we all start talking about?

Looked at how already Brady is commanding the offense.

It's changing into a Tom Brady offense.

Not so much.

No risk it no biscuit shots down the field and all that.

It's much more the kind of offense Tom Brady wants to run.

Look at how he's brought this team together during Cove it.

Look at how they responded.

I even said that again, you know, after the mental breakdown against the Bears, including Brady's look at how they responded the next week.

Miss take free football.

They didn't play mistake free football last week.

And by the way, this is a team with an offense with the defense with an embarrassment of riches.

At this point on offense, with all the receivers, including a B one of the greatest whoever did it with a little bit of time under his belt.

Now with the team.

It's not just like three practices.

First week.

It's the second game already.

Yeah, Tom Brady's gotta deliver.

Of course, he gets quarterbacks get disproportional blame and credit.

He's gotten his credit when things went well, including from me.

By the way.

Now, things aren't going well.

I expect a bounce back game, Stephen A.

But he's better.

Have one.

Well, a couple of things.

Number one, Max Kellerman.

I mean, you know, you know, I got to get on you just a little bit here.

You need a shave, brother.

You need a shave.

I want you to make sure that you know you just need to shape because that's my brother.

That's my brother.

That's my brother.

That's my brother.

We know Max.

We know I can't be helped, but there's still hope for you.

You've got to trim the beard a little bit good.

I mean, you got like, that's all I'm trying to say.

Scrag.

You keep it.

It's just a little scraggly.

That's just a little scraggly Friday.

What happens when you leave yourself out there?

I just want to throw that out there.

But listen, at least you don't have on a black tie today, you're improving.

Here's the deal.

Hold on.

Let me ask Charlie.

How's the beard?

Look, Charlie, It's nice.

A little salt and pepper.

I don't mind it.

Ze little dick and scraggly.

That's all I'm trying to say.

Are you e just wondering, That's all.

OK, the thing is here, Max is showing his age.

Just a little bit of Tom Brady showing his age.

What's he Oh, let's get Let's get, Let's get back to what you were saying, Max.

In all seriousness, man, you got You make very valid points about Tom Brady and and I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you.

My focus, however, is on Bruce Areas.

I mean, Ryan, help me out here, man.

I mean, last time I checked, Bruce Areas has been a head coach in the National Football League for the last seven years.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if y'all have noticed, but the last three seasons that he has coached 2016 2017 before he took off, 2018.

Then he came back for 2019 and Tampa Bay, after departing from Arizona.

Bruce Areas hasn't had a winning record and this six and three Now we looked at last week and as awful as Tom Brady Waas, and he was straight garbage for the first time in his career, like straight garbage.

It was awful, okay, but it's Tom Brady.

I mean, eventually, that's gonna happen one day.

Gotta give that to him.

Here's what I'm saying about Bruce Areas.

Didn't we lament the play calling?

Didn't we lament the fact you didn't run the football?

You only ran the football five damn times, didn't we lament Byron Leftwich and Bruce Arians and the kind of game plan that they had that clean that seemed to be ill advised.

And then you combine that with the fact that this dude is a former offensive coordinator, really, really made a name for himself, not just in Pittsburgh, but then when he was in Indianapolis and Chuck Mangano came down with cancer and he had to battle that and Bruce Arians, fielding for the last 12 games and went nine and three and really, really, you know, helped Indian a great in a great way, which ultimately got him the head coaching job in Arizona.

You know, the bottom line is when you look at Bruce Areas.

He is an experienced coach, respected throughout the league.

No one questions his knowledge about the game of football.

We certainly loved his personality.

Well, when you gonna produce?

The fact of the matter is, is that when we look at Tom Brady and we're seeing him and him struggling the way that he's struggling, of course, he cannot be absolved.

All I'm trying to say is that this is not a novice head coach.

This is an experienced coaches obviously experienced enough with enough cash to call out the great Tom Brady.

So why can't he be held accountable for what he's not doing?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the third worst rushing attack in the National Football League.

Ronald Jones is no scrub.

Linda Fernet is no scrub LaShawn McCoy Shady McCoy, even though he's getting up there in age, he is damn sure know.

Scrub the third worst rushing attack in the National Football League when you got Evans and Godwin and Gronk and breaking these boys to throw the football, too.

So people can't load the box, you know, damning you, you know, damning you to throw because they're there.

They're focused on the run.

That's not what they're doing.

The Tampa You should be able to do a multitude of things and not put everything on the shoulders off a 43 year old quarterback.

You got him the personnel, but it's up to you, Bruce areas to know how to utilize it.

We expect that from this man, and we should continue to expect that from that man.

All I'm saying is you can't completely absolve him.

We gotta make agree to.

You have to mention him, and I don't think you have to just mention him.

I think he's under the most pressure.

I think he has to perform because I know understand the prism that Max is looking at this through is his own right that for for him saying that Brady would fall off and then giving him credit for the leadership after the Chicago Bears game.

When they didn't play well when they didn't play disciplined football and really us never looking at Bruce Areas and saying you know what?

Bruce Arians has done a good job.
