In the newest episode of the Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast with Nick Cattles, Greg and Nick discuss Bailey Zappe being expected to start against the Chargers, taking over from Mac Jones. Bedard offers an in-depth analysis of what this opportunity means for Zappe and shares his thoughts on why he believes Zappe might be too overjoyed. The episode also features a segment where they answer questions from a mailbag session with Greg's BSJ members chat.
