Patriots about to get "aggressive" on deals? Where do you believe the Pats should address before the Nov. 4th NFL deadline? Good at RB??

00:00It looks like they're pretty solid with their running back position.

00:03And I believe it was Diana Rossini who said this over the weekend.

00:07The one area where they could be looking, which, you know,

00:11Shyam and I talked about, you know, maybe a week or so back,

00:15is the defensive end position.

00:18And when you look at their defensive line,

00:20they started off pretty hot when it came to getting after the quarterback

00:24and, you know, sacks and those type of things.

00:26Then they cooled off a little bit.

00:27Even Vrabel talked about we got to be more active up front.

00:31And I think when you start to look at this Patriots defensive line,

00:35one of the teams that we all tend to look at is the New York Giants.

00:38And it looks like they continue to lose.

00:41And they're going to probably sell off one of their pieces,

00:43whether it's Brian Burns who was coming off the field

00:46and he had a lot of choice words just for, you know,

00:50the Giants organization and losing that game to the Denver Broncos

00:53in the way that they did, or if it's Kayvon Thibodeau.

00:55So, if you're the New England Patriots, I think if you make this move,

00:59because, you know, I think they're probably set at wide receiver in their minds.

01:03They probably feel pretty comfortable.

01:04You think so?

01:05I mean, you know, it seems that way, right?

01:09It seems like Drake May is elevating and he's continuing to get better.

01:12Josh McDaniels is putting him in the right situation.

01:15And then you guys like Booty who are stepping up.

01:18Did I see yesterday, Shyam, Titans wide receiver wants out?

01:23Am I making that out?

01:24Calvin Ridley?

01:25No.

01:27No, there was a guy yesterday.

01:28I don't remember who, but yes, you are right.

01:30I did see him.

01:30Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:31You're talking about Tyler Lockett.

01:33Yes.

01:33Yeah, but they released him.

01:35I wouldn't want him.

01:36He's available tomorrow, I think.

01:37Yeah, I wouldn't want him.

01:39No, because I think you got to –

01:40I'm familiar with Rabel, though, I'm assuming.

01:43No, no, no.

01:44He came from Seattle.

01:45Oh, yeah.

01:45Yeah, he came from Seattle.

01:47Not worth the effort.

01:48No, and I think he's older.

01:50But I think they're pretty comfortable with their wide receiver group.

01:53We talked to Rabel.

01:53He talks about how they have done a good job,

01:56and Steph Diggs is kind of coming into that role.

01:58Damn, he's 33.

01:59Yeah, yeah.

01:59So that's why, to me, I think the biggest thing is if you can bolster this defense.

02:04Where's the one area that they've been struggling on defense all year long?

02:08It's been – you know, it's more of their past defense, Curtis,

02:11and the pressure and the coverage go hand in hand.

02:15They started off good, but they've kind of slowed down.

02:18So hopefully they will really be in on, you know, a pass rush.

02:22It may be even a guy like Bradley Chubb down in Miami.

02:26That team might sell off some of their pieces.

02:28But if you're the New England Patriots, I'm on board,

02:31and I hope this Diana Rossini report is that they are actively looking for pass rushes.
