Brian opens with some thoughts on Bill Belichick’s recent track record with the Pats and whether he could be interested in coaching another AFC team. Then, he takes stock of the Boston sports scene and discusses why Jayson Tatum is poised to be “the guy” in Boston (0:35). Next, he chats with NESN’s Zack Cox about the Patriots, reasons for their 0-2 start, silver linings thus far, and the upcoming Pats-Jets game (31:40). Brian and Jamie close out the show with some mailbag questions (1:12:30).
