Briefed in the Sports Talk edition of Saturday, 12 September 2026
What was discussed
Drake Maye's turnovers and decision making2:53
- Jarvis Landryassertion
Drake Maye threw three interceptions that a blind man could have thrown, showing immaturity at the position.
- Leonard Fournetteassertion
The Patriots lost because of Drake Maye's decision making on the next play and the drive that ended the game, not because of Romeo Dobbs' drop.
- Jarvis Landryopinion
Drake Maye went from being an MVP candidate in the first half to the worst quarterback in the NFL in one quarter.
Patriots game plan and coaching decisions4:19
- Leonard Fournetteassertion
The Patriots had a decent game plan using the Seahawks' aggressiveness against them, but they got away from their bread and butter.
- Jarvis Landryopinion
Josh McDaniels should pull the reins back and be more conservative with Drake Maye instead of letting him make decisions that cost games.
- Leonard Fournettespeculation
The Patriots will not make the playoffs if Drake Maye doesn't get his mind right and the coaches don't adjust their play packages.
AJ Brown's injury and impact on Patriots offense12:22
- Jarvis Landryassertion
AJ Brown's ankle injury changes the trajectory of the New England Patriots offense and their identity.
- Leonard Fournettespeculation
If AJ Brown misses meaningful time, New England could fall to third or fourth in the division.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
The goal line pass to AJ Brown was underthrown and should have been an easy touchdown.
Drew Lock's performance after Sam Darnold injury7:51
- Leonard Fournetteassertion
Drew Lock stepped into the game on the fifth play and did exactly what he needed to do, making easy throws and a couple great throws.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
Drew Lock showed you never know when your number will be called, but you have to be prepared.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba's fourth down touchdown9:21
- Leonard Fournetteassertion
Five-star players make five-star plays, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba turned a fourth and one into a 45-yard touchdown.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
The fourth and one pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba shifted the momentum and changed the electricity in the stadium.
Seattle Seahawks defense performance30:18
- Leonard Fournetteopinion
The Seattle Seahawks defense is the number one defense until further notice and will carry the team to wins.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
The Seahawks defense held the Patriots to 10 points, forced three turnovers, and limited them to 3-for-12 on third down.
Patriots running game and receiver depth25:34
- Jarvis Landryassertion
The Patriots running game is not explosive enough and leaves two to three yards per carry on the table.
- Leonard Fournetteopinion
Jadarian Price should be the number one running back until further notice because he looks elusive and fresh.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
Ke'Shawn Boutte's absence showed because he was the number two receiver with a relationship with Drake Maye.
Seahawks playoff outlook without Sam Darnold27:50
- Leonard Fournettespeculation
Losing Sam Darnold changes the trajectory of the Seahawks, potentially dropping them to third in the division and outside the playoffs.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
Sam Darnold is the perfect quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks scheme, and losing him makes the season tougher.
49ers versus Rams international game preview36:24
- Leonard Fournettespeculation
The 49ers will win by 10 because they arrived a week early to acclimate and the Rams just got there.
- Jarvis Landryassertion
Arriving a week early for an international game helps players acclimate, shop, eat, and get their cleats in the ground on slippery stadiums.
