Speaker 5: get hit. There's no question about it.
Speaker 4: Very cautiously. The third overall pick out of North Carolina
Speaker 4: got the start after Jacoby Brissett was bench for his
Speaker 4: one and four starts. Fans where they may make them
Speaker 4: a little more hopeful that the Pats can natch a
Speaker 4: couple more wins this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be improvement.
Speaker 4: I guess more compelling to everyone was the fact that

Speaker 4: is more exciting than a career journeyman um a little bit,
Speaker 4: you know, definitely brings hope. You know, it's the unknown,
Speaker 4: opportunity unknown. Still, virtually everyone I talked to was concerned
