6 Rings and Football Things

Justin Turpin joins Rich & Ken w/ Ted Johnson (RKT) on WEEI to talk Patriots-Jets. Turp explains why he still leans toward A.J. Brown sitting Sunday with a short week before the Bears, who could lose a roster spot if Brown is active, and what Brown's return would mean for Kyle Williams and Romeo Doubs. Plus: why the Jets' blitz-heavy defense could play into Drake Maye's hands, Eli Raridon's breakout, two straight strong Patriots draft classes, how the pass rush can get after Geno Smith, what it would take for the Jets to pull off the upset, Josh McDaniels on using analytics, and where the Patriots stand in a wide-open AFC.
