00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: Now you're hurting feelings. The third one, well, I can

161
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: cook an outland. When you have cell phones. I will

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: call in every Friday football feast. I'll probably fly in

163
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: a couple of times. Some gray duck can move Move along,

164
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: get out to the be Dubs and Odale one of

165
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: my favorite spots if.

166
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: You located relocated, where would it be? Love Love the

167
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: middle part of the country.

168
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: Because I have to have four seasons, I can't do

169
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: the Arizona, the Texas, the Florida bit where it's just

170
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: warm year round. I'm too miserable for that. I need

171
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: to have some change. I could do northern Alabama probably,

172
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: what's all about North Carolina Tennessee.

173
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 6: You could get all the seasons on the north side

174
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 6: of like New Mexico and Arizona.

175
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Sound actually get.

176
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: A little wild, like ay from gray Duck to a

177
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: meth lab you go to, you saw was a charges there,

178
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: So that's out.

179
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: I think he hates it. I think so too.

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 6: Go by five thousand acres.

181
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: You can host people to do some l cons in

182
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: various I don't know, man.

183
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: I apparently I'm married though, And there's the two opinions. Yeah,

184
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: if you and I were married somehow, that would be

185
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: a great plan.

186
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: But the current situation, yeah, okay, let's get serious. It

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: looks like Flores is back on a new deal with

188
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Viking, so it doesn't look like he is

189
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 4: Well what if he gets Yeah, that's her tenter, Yes, yeah,

190
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: jesse Mentor, Baltimore's out, Pittsfurg's still in, thank you, Yeah,

191
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh still in. Yeah, it's not a one hundred percenter there,

192
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 4: it's quite close.

193
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: He came in over the top with that Don's grandkid,

194
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: Don Sula. Yes, okay, three two.

195
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: So that's a little distraction related warmth during these chilly days.

196
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: So how just how important is it to the team

197
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: that that that it looks like he will be returning?

198
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Just truly?

199
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean we've talked a lot about it, the defense

200
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: saving the show at certain times last year, everybody's catching

201
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: strays this week, Flores Evan Stefanski from Baker, Charlie Bold

202
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, they're just all I mean, but just

203
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: how truly important is this? I think it's big. I

204
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 3: mean for stability of the organization. You look at it

205
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: from top down. You look at the questions we have

206
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: with the roster, with the drafting situation last year. Now, Ron,

207
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: I'm no, seriously, I don't want to be sick this weekend.

208
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: Well I'm sorry you invited.

209
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: You invited me, right, but yeah, Hey, I've worked with

210
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: you for decade and a half. Are you have no

211
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: problem declining? Okay, that's never a problem. Let me turn

212
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: my chair, hold on a second. Okay, now we're better.

213
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, looks sick this week. I think he works

214
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: with his fingers man. I think stability that in the

215
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: organization is huge. And you lose this guy went potentially

216
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: losing your second guy. Who who you would hire for

217
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: the defense coordinator job. It's just a lot of change,

218
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: a lot of up people. In a situation of an

219
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: offseason where we have a really good roster and have

220
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: a chance to be really good next year, signs a

221
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: couple of positions, we have a lot of question works

222
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: on a chance to reach you know, GM to come

223
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 3: through another draft cycle, try to hit some dubs here.

224
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: I think it's important to keep him. The moment we

225
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: had to finish the season was huge. You've got to

226
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: build off of that. You have your personnel for the

227
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 3: most part in place, at least the direction of your

228
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 3: personnel and where you want to go defensively. Otherwise you

229
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: got to bring in maybe another disciple, let's take a

230
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: different direction. You want to kind of put your own

231
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 3: spin on it, because you can't just come and say

232
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: we're gonna do what he did. You're gonna do what

233
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: you want to do, and that might look different from

234
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: personnel standpoint. I mean, we all know we have host

235
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: of fill there, but I think just helps us check

236
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: one of those big.

237
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Boxes and say, Okay, we have our guy.

238
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 6: You know.

239
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

240
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: I'd say among the conversations this offseason, it was can

241
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 5: you keep Brian Flores?

242
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: And what's going to happen at quarterback?

243
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 5: I mean, is that important on the laundry list of

244
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: things this team has to do? The question I'd posed

245
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 5: to you is like how many defensive minds in the

246
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 5: NFL would you take over Brian Flores?

247
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: And the answer to that question stamps cements.

248
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 5: The importance of being able to keep him here from

249
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 5: a defensive coordinator standpoint. The players obviously are tailored to

250
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 5: what he likes to do. He adapts in game, he

251
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: knows personnel, Kevin O'Connell knows how he operates. That's an

252
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 5: important facet. So just for them to get it done.

253
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 5: Obviously we'll see how Pittsburgh plays out. But my expectation

254
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 5: with Pittsburgh as they're gonna wait to see the Rams

255
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: either went all the way through and then interview Chris

256
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 5: Shula and probably hire Chris Shula, and at that point

257
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: it'll be more cemented.

258
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: But it just massive for them to get it done.

259
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: And I expect he got paid a lot of money.

260
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: What does the decorder get paid these days. Just off

261
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: that playbook and this got a couple of playbooks. I

262
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: look like spo tracked.

263
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 6: I report Vic Fangio was making I think like four

264
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 6: and a half million.

265
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: That's that's the high.

266
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: I will be back next year. I can go find

267
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: this DC job somewhere. I get to get back in

268
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: the game.

269
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: You kidding me.

270
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: Gotta get your voice back before you get that defensive coordinator, honey,

271
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: I'll get some honey players with a voice like that.

272
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: It'll come back around. What kind of a coach would

273
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: you be? What kind of a defensive porters would you be?

274
00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: Why does that wright?

275
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: You would just run the Tampa two get ripped on

276
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: social media in the last two years.

277
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: Ben but Ben, but don't break. Just get wins. Go

278
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: get draft yourself with Jared Allen and Kevin Williams. It'll

279
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: be fine. Yeah, I think it will work out just fine.

280
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: I would definitely go towards the Zimmer route.

281
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I would.

282
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 3: I like playing that system a lot more, that scheme

283
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: a lot more. I loved I loved I loved making

284
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: the offense play on their heels.

285
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: You gotta have good man corners, right half.

286
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: You can't you can't get your corners at seven eleven

287
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 3: and you can't do that.

288
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: You gotta get your You gotta be dudes. Alec doesn't

289
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: know that it was.

290
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 4: It was a zimmer stray against the cover two defense.

291
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: Many years ago, somebody pushed him on, like what type

292
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 4: of corner to play a certain defense, Like I can

293
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: get cover two corners at a seven the best?

294
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: He said, oh, absolutely right.

295
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 4: Even and before that, when when Chad was was with

296
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: the Vikings with Brad Childress, you know, he got tired

297
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: of people peppering him about Dante Culpepper rehabbing some injury

298
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 4: in Florida. So Breath was like, I don't know, he's

299
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: outside of some strip mall next to some Chinese restaurant.

300
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him in a week.

301
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: I just think it's a more it's a more fun

302
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: style to play. I mean, from a how kind of

303
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: coach would I be? I have no idea, right, I mean,

304
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: I think you're you're just kind of this idea of

305
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: like you know, the Dan Campbell like old school mentality

306
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: and approach with a little bit less meat head.

307
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: That's probably what i'd be. It's coaching.

308
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 5: The thing about coaching is I mean the the those

309
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: guys who are whether your position, coach or what have you.

310
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 5: I mean that job is for a special breed of

311
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: person who wants to work at a level that is

312
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: I just I don't know how that's sustainable necessary.

313
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: By the way, former Wants Corner Terrence Newman, he was

314
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: he DB's coach, or he took he took a job

315
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: with zimmer yep. And I mean it's like you know,

316
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: in the office at four thirty five, five thirty, you're

317
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: out at seven, seven thirty, nine, nine thirty. Uh, Terrence

318
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: was in one year, out the next. And if for

319
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: show though, like being there that much, it all depends

320
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: on your head coach. If your head coach is there,

321
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: you're there. You never leave before the head coach goes.

322
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: So if you're putting much time and after extra effort

323
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: and you're going to be there doing the same thing,

324
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: just look at the same stuff over and over, rehashing

325
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: the game plan, over thinking in a lot of cases

326
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: what you're trying to do. And I think, but you

327
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: also have to think you're looking ahead two games your

328
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: parent was coming, because you don't have enough time in

329
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: that moment to put a game plan together.

330
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: I think you have to.

331
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: And here's one of the main reasons beyond having four

332
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: kids that wanted to raise and be there all the

333
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: time and have you bounced around, was I didn't love

334
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: the x's and those enough at that point to want

335
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: to be involved and stay involved at that level because

336
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: I knew the time, commitment and what it was, what

337
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: I was going to give up was not worth it.

338
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: And that's that's when the rubber me at the road.

339
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: For me, it was like, okay, you know, even like

340
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: having them some opportunity to go to go call games, Yeah,

341
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: go out to LA and you know, interview with Fox

342
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: and CBS to call some games. Sounds fun, except you

343
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: travel every weekend, You're gone three days and you got

344
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: four babies at home.

345
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, I'm not doing that.

346
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: One during during the pandemic, So it was the twenty

347
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: twenty season where they had the aggressive bio reference truck,

348
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: BANI trailer whatever right outside the player's entrance, and like

349
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 4: I didn't, I didn't have to get swabbed as much

350
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: as team employees. But nevertheless, during the season I had

351
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: to get there two times Monday after a Sunday game

352
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 4: make sure everybody was hunky dory, then Friday into a weekend.

353
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: So when I would roll up there, like the things

354
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: started at six point thirty maybe seven, and I got

355
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 4: nine to noon, so I would get there early, and

356
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: feeling always was in his car, just like sitting in

357
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: the players a lot.

358
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: But you know, so I'd roll up to him if

359
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: the weather was good and say what's up.

360
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 4: And a couple of times he would have the surface

361
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: the tablet like sitting in his car waiting to go

362
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: into the aggressive bioreference thing with the functioning swabaholics.

363
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: And so therefore he was always watching film.

364
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: So like you know, I asked him a question or

365
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: two and then he would like show me something. And

366
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: the level of excitement that he would come up with,

367
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: and let's magnify it with coaches. Let's just amplify it

368
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: with coaches. Where he finds something with a corner who

369
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: has a little l to him, who just keeps repeatedly

370
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 4: making the wrong turn or doing something wrong with the hips,

371
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 4: and he's full speed guy, top of the route, full

372
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: speed shack the shoulders. I mean, that's it's one of

373
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: the great route runners in the history of the team.

374
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: And and just the level of excitement because you know,

375
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: either a coach put him on it to look at

376
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: it and figure out how we're going to do it,

377
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 4: or he found it and you know he's like, hey,

378
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 4: I know you know this, but can we consider this.

379
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 4: So when you say the x's and o's and stuff, man,

380
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: I mean from a coaching standpoint, you know, whether it's

381
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: quality control people providing them stuff early in the week

382
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: and hey we got this, and we got this and

383
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: we got this. But like when you're super smart like

384
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: O'Connell with his middle zone attack, when you can throw

385
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: in the middle of the field, okay, three two, it's

386
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 4: when you when you find things that you know you

387
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: consist can consistently expose and you're ruthless and cold blooded

388
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: like some of them. I mean, that just has to

389
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 4: be a highlight of the job, right height to the job.

390
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: You found something, you were able to be patient in

391
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: your play calling and hit it at the right time

392
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: to get that third and eight when you had to

393
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: have it because you you had that baby put away

394
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: on Tuesday when you watch film. But then also to

395
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: Zimmer was the did not hide his emotions well when

396
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 3: he got beat when somebody got him all really because.

397
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: When his players were in the right spot.

398
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: So he got got yeah, got got like just just hey,

399
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 3: didn't have you prepared for that?

400
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Look, they got us on that one.

401
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: And what I loved about that as a player is

402
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: within our locker room, he owns that to us. So

403
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, Like, as a player, you want to

404
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: do right by everything you do. You want to be

405
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: maked a mistakes, you know, blah blah blah blah. When

406
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: the coach does that too, like it just means more

407
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: because he's like, I'm in this with you in the trenches.

408
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: And I think when you do that, it hurts them

409
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 3: more to get God than it is to go get

410
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: somebody else.

411
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: It's interesting, Yeah, just because they get, they get out

412
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: game planned, they get they get beat.

413
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: That's in the same fishball as the losses always feel

414
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 4: worse than the winds feel good always.

415
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: I think the other thing, especially this time, find you

416
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: a gotcha in here by the way this time of year.

417
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 5: The thing I've thought about when I watch all this

418
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 5: coaching movement, the position coaches and who these head. For me,

419
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 5: it's it's as much about Okay, we're hiring this guy

420
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 5: to be our head coach. What kind of staff can

421
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 5: he build beneath him, and what relationships does he have

422
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 5: and how.

423
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: Far is he willing to go to hire those two

424
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Because I.

425
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: Think it's the coaching tree and the budget he's gonna

426
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: get be given today in today.

427
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: I think that's a part of it.

428
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 5: But good position coaches I've I mean, the more I've

429
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 5: covered the league, the more I feel like it is

430
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 5: so critical to hire the right people in those jobs

431
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 5: who have those direct.

432
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: And nepotism is very real in the NFL and hiring.

433
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 3: Friends because what you need. Hey, we came up together.

434
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: If I get a job, I got you. If you

435
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: get a job, you got me. Let me see if

436
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 3: I found a Gotcha was Zimer's coach. Third and goal

437
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: from the two behind Dalton hold On Cowboys, twenty twenty

438
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: November of twenty twenty. Third and goal from the two

439
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: Elliott's behind Dalton Seedee Lamb in motion to the left,

440
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: now back to the right, play action for Dalton Pastes

441
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 3: caught man wide open touchdown Dallas. It is Dalton Schultz

442
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 3: with the old gotcha play. There was nobody near him

443
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 3: and Dallas has taken a thirty to twenty eight lead.

444
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a gotcha right December Hayden Hurst Falcons game.

445
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: Oh Nordo right when the audio played?

446
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, was that Nordo?

447
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 5: Was?

448
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: That was?

449
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 6: That was?

450
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: They knew exactly what he's playing.

451
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: The Hayden Hurst bit Raheem Morris takes over I think

452
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 6: for dan Quinn in twenty twenty teams oh and four

453
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 6: and oh and five. Uh, it's friends and family affair

454
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 6: at us Bank Stadium because of the rona and uh

455
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: and he gets us with this. Hayden goes here, the

456
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 6: entire Vikings defense goes the other way.

457
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: Fourth and one from the thirty five Ryan from under

458
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: center passes left uncovered. Hayden Hurst twenty fifteen gen touchdown

459
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons, a thirty five yard touchdown Austin Bryan to

460
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: Hayden Hurst on fourth and one. Matt looked right. All

461
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 3: of Minnesota went that way. Hurst soul alone on the

462
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 3: other side of the field, And that's ridiculous. My guess

463
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: is we were a man gotcha. My guess is we

464
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: were in man coverage and the guys took his eyes

465
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: off his man on the past fake or some action away.

466
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: From him and just gonzo two touchdown there Julio.

467
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 5: There the tone with Hayden Hurst, Hayden Hearst, it's crazy

468
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen. You're right, you talking about like the nepotism

469
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 5: with the position coaches. I mean there is some of

470
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: these coaches who get jobs are just hiring people who

471
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: they like and they've had drinks with at the combine

472
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: and they and I and and then there are other

473
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: coaches who can build real staffs of talented younger coaches.

474
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 5: And there is a big discrepancy in my opinion, of

475
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 5: what it looks like when you when you're that second

476
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 5: path and you hire really good people to do those jobs.

477
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, this window, right, you get hired, say it, say

478
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: you get out, like when you're talking to say you

479
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: hire Shula, and you know next week when they get

480
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: beat out, whatever happens, you have you have no time.

481
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: Everybody else has a job. So now your pool of

482
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: hiring candidates is very, very small. You're a younger coach

483
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: with not as big of a you know, yes, he's

484
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: an NFL name, he's been in the league forever, he's

485
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: known these guys.

486
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: But who do you owe a favor to?

487
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: That's your first call, not like who's the best coach like, hey,

488
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: he gave me this opportunity. He said, if you get

489
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: a job and I'm on the street, please call me.

490
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: Well, if I'm an owner of the team and I

491
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: know that, then I'm like, really, that's all They all

492
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: know it.

493
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: It's crazy and that's why like this, this last couple

494
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 5: of weeks for me, in just talking to people has

495
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 5: really crystallized how much that is the process. And you

496
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 5: talk to certain people and they're like, yeah, no one

497
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 5: talks about it, but that's kind of how it goes.

498
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: And ago A step further is how much different schematically?

499
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: And the answer is not that much.

500
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: Is he going to be compared to somebody else you

501
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: could hire, Yes, you have different scheme, maybe different front.

502
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: It's about the players.

503
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 3: It's about the coach's ability to motivate and want those

504
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: players to play for him. And in a league where

505
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: you have everybody playing for multimillions of dollars, where do

506
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: you find the motivation to set the ego aside play

507
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: for each other and this common goal.

508
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: That's where leadership comes in. That's where a guy that.

509
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 3: Keeping like b flow matters when they you know, we've

510
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: heard I'm sorry, no, we've heard different stories about players

511
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: opinion of him. They want to be here, they want

512
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: to play for him, to excited to play him. They

513
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to make a bunch of players and

514
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: have a bunch of stats and get money.

515
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: They like that.

516
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 4: But wasn't last year with what you're saying. I mean,

517
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: it wasn't just a whole arising perfect example. I mean,

518
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 4: it's up you. I've said this ten times, but they

519
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 4: mostly knew they weren't going to the postseason with three

520
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: major holidays in front of them, and that's never good

521
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 4: for business.

522
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.

523
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 3: Yet, despite who they were facing the rest of the way,

524
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: and there's some pretty pretty good quarterback related stock in

525
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 3: that mix, the defense played like it was playing to

526
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: get the one seed in the NFC, and that you

527
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: know that that inherently comes back to leadership from not

528
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: only the players playing, as you know, but the man

529
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: leading it and calling the shots. I think that's my

530
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 3: opinion of the head coach. Of hiring head coaches is

531
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: not hiring a coordinator. Who has to be the coordinator. Huh,

532
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 3: You're you're the leader of the team. You're not the

533
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: leader of the defense. You're not the leader of the offense.

534
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: You hire a CEO to manage a team, to get

535
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: everybody to do their jobs. Everything comes back to you

536
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 3: as the head coach. But hiring the right coordinators who

537
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: you try us to take care of that side of

538
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 3: the ball. I've been offensive cocording for twenty years. Can

539
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: I give up the play countries? Those guys have a

540
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: hard time. That's how they got the job. Of course,

541
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: so I understand that. But I can tell you through

542
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: my eleven years the amount of bad position coaches I

543
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: either had.

544
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 5: On that that's why I went there without Navy names

545
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 5: or so that's in my room.

546
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: I mean, twenty twenty six is the year of the stray.

547
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: It's just a year. It's year the year of the truth.

548
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: It's a year of the stray. Let's get the truth

549
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, that's stray.

550
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: Stavanski called from Baker was completely uncalled.

551
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: That was uncalled for all right.

552
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 6: Currently trying to find a list of chag Greenway's linebacker coaches.

553

00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: I've played a lot of games in my in my career.

592
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, from my hostility standpoint, a physicality standpoint,

593
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: it was, by foreign the toughest game I've ever played

594
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 2: in based on those two components. It was loud, it

595
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: was chaoti, I mean it was. I mean, it's hard

596
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: to be settled down and relaxed. I don't think I

597
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 2: ever got to that point.

598
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: I told Percy that's Brett Farr, former Vikings quarterback. I

599
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: told Percy, hands on it, what was it? Pats on

600
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 4: the grounds? Pants on the ground? I told Percy. Brett

601
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: Farv has a podcast as in order to point it

602
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 4: out to yours.

603
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Truly, it doesn't last evening. Brett Farav has one now.

604
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: And in two thousand and nine, the Minnesota Vikings played

605
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: in the NFC Championship game against the Notland Saints.

606
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: Chad's team.

607
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: Jack Greenway was on that team, also involved in a

608
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: very controversial one of I'd say maybe five to seven

609
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: super controversial plays in the game. Liber also was involved

610
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: in one in overtime with that tight end Dave Thomas.

611
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: But but ears Jack Greenway. Very late in the game,

612
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 4: Pierre Thomas goes leaping over the crowd. I think it

613
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: was fourth down to try to get a first down,

614
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: fourth and short, fourth and short. Greenway meets him at

615
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 4: a top. I mean they're both they're both in the air,

616
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: and Greenway stopped him, and Greenway smacked him, and I

617
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 4: think the ball came out and then there was like

618
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if there was replay or whatever, but

619
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: it took forever and then Saints keep the ball and

620
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 4: it was super.

621
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: Negative and a first down should have been respotted by

622
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: first down vikings. The way we go, we needed a

623
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: virtual games over there, Yes, and that that was part

624
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: of a very It's you know, like if people ask me,

625
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: like what's your favorite game that you've called or been to,

626
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: or like favorite call or whatever, they think it's going

627
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: to be like Minneapolis Miracle, which was memorable, Greg Lewis

628
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: Game three that season, the the and I think I'm

629
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: speaking for you too here. That was a professional experience,

630
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: whether you're playing, calling, watching or whatever.

631
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: The fans never sat down.

632
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: It's the consistently loudest I've ever heard. It never stopped

633
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: with the with those aggressive umbrellas they had and the

634
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: voodoo dolls and everything, and they were just all nasty.

635
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 6: It's like, were they rocking vuvuzela's back then if you

636
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 6: remember now that was World Cup twenty ten right in

637
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 6: South Africa when those became popular.

638
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: But you saw those bounts in a round them, so yeah,

639
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: it was.

640
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: It was an incredibly memorable day, sadly for Vikings fans

641
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: of those who played in the game on the negative side.

642
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: But the single biggest play from that game was when

643
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: Brett Barr went rolling out to the right, he threw

644
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: across his body and Tracy Porter picked him off and

645
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: the Vikings were one step one made field goal by

646
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: Ryan Longwell, who was nails from getting to the super Bowl.

647
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: The mission was Miami, Miami in January, February, Holy Cow

648
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: and Tracy Porter then of course ran down the field,

649
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: he got tackled by John Sullivan and then he looks

650
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: at the Vikings bench and he mimics the Jared Allen

651
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: calf rope bit. Why because early in the game, when

652
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: the Vikings scored the first touchdown of the game, Sydney

653
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: Rice mimicked the Darren Sharper Sharper shake and they never

654
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: forgot it was one of those games. But with what

655
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: Brett did, you know, it was a talker for quite

656
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: some time about whether he should have thrown it to

657
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: Bernard Berry in, should he have just run or whatever.

658
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: And here's what Brett Farv on his podcast had to

659
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 3: say about that moment.

660
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm more concerned about what I didn't do. I wish

661
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: I would have ran on that last play. I don't

662
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 2: know if I could have. Is he grind That's the fact.

663
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: No, you know, I.

664
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: Certainly trusted my legs and my capability even at the

665
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: end of my career. Maybe not as much at the

666
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: end of my career as early in my career, but

667
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: I definitely didn't feel confident I have told do anything running.

668
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: But as I look back, I wish I would have

669
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: certainly done that first, or given that a try.

670
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: Pete Bersage, analyst for the Vikings Radio Network, is and

671
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: the Elite Football play. Here's at the end of the call.

672
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 4: Pete Bursage said in two thousand and nine what Brett

673
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 4: farb just said in twenty twenty six.

674
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

675
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: Brett Farp goes back to pass, he pumps, now he

676
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 3: fires over the middle intercepted. I can't believe what I'm

677
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 3: seeing right now. It was intercepted by Tracy Porter near

678
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: side to the forty and John Sullivan runs him down

679
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: at the forty seven yard line.

680
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding me.

681
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: I can't believe what.

682
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: I just saw looking at that plate. He should have

683
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: just held onto a call. He should have he.

684
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: Could have easily have gotten five or six yards if

685
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 3: he would have just pulled that thing down until forward.

686
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: Why do you even ponder passing?

687
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you can take a knee and try a

688
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: fifty six yard field goal.

689
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: This is not Detroit, man, this is the Super Bowl.

690
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: The analysts saw that so clearly, and that was the

691
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: That was the game that led to the Sean Payton

692
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: suspension and subsequently the vitriol from this market and everything

693
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 4: and the high lows with Bobby McCrae and Aching Adell

694
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: or the other adell and and and BERSI said you

695
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: should have just run, man, And now in twenty twenty six,

696
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: Far finally lets everybody rest.

697
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: And says I should have run on that.

698
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: A couple of things there. That is not an entertaining podcast.

699
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: Does he have a co host? Can you imagine this?

700
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a guy asking him questions. We fired

701
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: that thing.

702
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 6: Can you imagine if background music yourself? If he I

703
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 6: think it's the Parkinson's, I mean he is not. He

704
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 6: did not look like he was comfortable communicating much at all.

705
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 6: But can you imagine if he and Chris Carter did

706
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 6: a podcast together? Oh my, the way they both pause

707
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 6: and then they start talking you.

708
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Play adds in between the passes. Yeah, so far. The

709
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: best thing you said there in that idea.

710
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: The best thing you said in that call was that

711
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 3: John Sullivan ran down Tracy Porter. Yeah, that's actually a

712
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: pretty impressive John Center, I think. And then he ran

713
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 3: down was a cheeseburger man. And he didn't rang nobody down.

714
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: He must have fell. What's going on with the great duck?

715
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: Oh man? Just it is what it is. I mean,

716
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: we're all going to be inside today. It is what

717
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: it is. What a great advertising slogan. Yeah, we're it

718
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: is what it is outside.

719
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 3: We're going to be inside, probably hanging out with some friends,

720
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: maybe enjoying the weekend. You can't do anything outdoors. If

721
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 3: you do, you're gonna want to warm that soul up.

722
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 3: Get yourself a little hot toddy, throw some gray Duck

723
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 3: in there. If you're indoors with friends, staying out of

724
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 3: the cold, pour yourself a nice little crisp.

725
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a bloody tomorrow with gad duck.

726
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course there are you know what have to

727
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: glean crisp flavor. It is what it is. I should

728
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: sing today. I should lay some tracks down later.

Speaker 4: ever I've ever listened to. He's He's at the super Bowl.

Speaker 4: into winning in Lincoln, Nebraska with the transfer portal and

783
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 4: nil and things like that. So there are two undefeated

784
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 4: teams in the country. I know one of them is Nebraska.

785
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 4: I don't know who the other one is. Is it Alabama?

786
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 4: Is it Miami of Ohio? It's they're too undefeated. You're

787
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: supposed to know that you're an elite college sports mind.

788
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. College basketball has faded in my purview

789
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: until maybe the NCAA tournament. Yeah, SEC tournament.

790
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 5: In NCAA tournament, I mean I followed Texas A and

791
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 5: M because I know the coach, but yeah, all.

792
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: Texas A and in basketball.

793
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, your guy, your friend is the basketball coach,

794
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 4: not the football coach.

795
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: No basketball?

796
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 4: Oh Bucky what Bucky McMillan, Holy cal Let's rip off

797
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 4: the best seven minute interview we've had in the history

798
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: of nine to now, and it is Mike Sando, very

799
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 4: well respected in NFL circles. I learn more about him

800
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 4: and follow him if you're so inclined via ex at

801
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 4: Sando NFL. It's his twenty eight season covering the National

802
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: Football League and he's a writer for the Athletic Mike

803
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 4: gets Paul Allen here with your cohort alec Lewis. Thank

804
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 4: you very much for helping let's start here. What do

805
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 4: you think about the way the Bills handled the Sean

806
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 4: McDermott dismissal and good morning.

807
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad to be here. Sorry for the short

808
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 7: show today. For me, I have good brother things going on,

809
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 7: but I would miss this. I would say that it's

810
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 7: super easy to pan it and just make fun of everybody,

811
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 7: But I totally get the owner being in the locker

812
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 7: room and seeing a deficited team and just realizing what like,

813
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 7: I don't know, Sean McDermott's eight and eight in the

814
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 7: playoffs and it feels like nine those eight losses were

815
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 7: the most excruciating losses in.

816
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: League history, you know, and just.

817
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 7: Needed deciding to want to change it now, promoting Brandon

818
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 7: Bean and all of that. I think there's a lot

819
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 7: of things handled clumsily, but this isn't really to me

820
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 7: whether Sean McDermott deserves to be fired. I feel like

821
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 7: they they felt like they needed to go in a

822
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 7: new direction emotionally, and I get that.

823
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: Do do Yeah?

824
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 4: I mean it's tough to speak for other people, but

825
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 4: you're an elite football mind. Do you think Harbaugh and

826
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: or Stefanski wish they had waited just a bit longer

827
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 4: to take a run at Josh Allen's team?

828
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 7: I would say not necessarily. I mean maybe Stefanski, I

829
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 7: don't think so.

830
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: For Harbaugh.

831
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 7: Like to me, Harbaugh probably had a great connection with

832
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 7: the Giants and wanted to go there.

833
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: That would be my guess.

834
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 7: And as far as Stefanski, you know, Buffalo is its

835
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 7: own place.

836
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different, so.

837
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 7: You know, I don't know that it's for everyone, but

838
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 7: from a football standpoint, you would think, yeah, I would

839
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 7: think at least Stefanski would love to be considered for it.

840
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 7: I do think that you tend to accept the jobs

841
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 7: that get offered. You know, it doesn't mean the Buffalo

842
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 7: would have offered.

843
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 5: Him, right, Mike, thanks for hoping on. I appreciate it.

844
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 5: As always good to talk. I'm curious just because you've

845
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 5: you've covered and observed so many of these. Is there

846
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 5: anything or what about this coaching cycle has intrigued you

847
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 5: the most just observing it?

848
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

849
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, So usually there's seven openings a year. We got

850
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 7: ten because three that were not necessarily you know, the

851
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 7: typical types of openings came open, the super long term

852
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 7: ones did. So that's that's interesting to me. And then

853
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 7: the second part is look at these teams that don't

854
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 7: know what they're doing. They're hiring. They got Tom Brady,

855
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 7: Troy Aikman, and Matt Ryan, that's who they're leading line.

856
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 7: Great guys, great quarterbacks. I'd love to have him be

857
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 7: my quarterback. Yeah, and really listening to them for some

858
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 7: sort of advice, Hey, no problem. But like I think

859
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 7: Steve Vashatti, who is a good owner, was like, yeah,

860
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 7: Lamarlo Jackson's got a voice. You don't have any power. Yeah,

861
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 7: you know, And I think when you're turning to when

862
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 7: you really don't know what you're doing, you hand it

863
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 7: over to Matt Ryan to me, and so that that

864
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 7: is weird. Doesn't mean the other teams know what they're

865
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 7: doing way better, but that's just weird to me.

866
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: Who why would you do that?

867
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's it's I mean, it has been very

868
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 5: interesting and it's it seems like it's becoming more and

869
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 5: more common. This is Viking specific and I know, I mean,

870
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 5: you you follow it closely from Afar because of our conversations,

871
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 5: But I mean, what is your perspective on how the

872
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 5: quarterback situation played out this past year? And I guess

873
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 5: tangentially related, what do you think about the quarterback situation

874
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 5: here moving forward?

875
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 7: I think they were all in on JJ McCarthy but

876
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 7: didn't feel totally great about it for obvious reasons, and

877
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 7: that showed in the way that they handled it. And

878
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 7: I think for next season, to me, it would be

879
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 7: hard to just, you know, put all of my money

880
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 7: on JJ to be the guy.

881
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: That leads us there.

882
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 7: That's you know, just from a health standpoint and from

883
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 7: a playing standpoint, even though it's obviously too early to

884
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 7: say he's bad, but I mean, we wish there was

885
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 7: more evidence he was going to be really good. So

886
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 7: I think they're in a little bit of a similar

887
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 7: situation as going into last year, maybe a little bit

888
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 7: of different types of concerns and also different types of options,

889
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 7: you know. I think they had different options last year

890
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 7: that maybe they came were.

891
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: Closer to getting.

892
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 7: Like if they had done Daniel Jones, if they just said.

893
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,760
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, we'll go to eighteen.

894
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 7: I don't know if he would have done it, but

895
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 7: you know, maybe he'd be there and he would have

896
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 7: played half the year and they'd be reshgining him and

897
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 7: saying and you'd have a way to do it. I

898
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 7: think now you're in a little bit of a difficult situation.

899
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: National NFL writer for The Athletic and the Athletic Dot

900
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 4: Mike Sandos, with nine to noon time for two more,

901
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 4: Mine will be how is Sam and that oblake and

902
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 4: and who do you like in the rams Seahawks game?

903
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 7: Mike, Yeah, Well, I think the oblique, you know, can

904
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 7: is fine for a short period of games where they

905
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 7: can use they can shoot it up and that sort

906
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 7: of thing. So I don't think that's going to be

907
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 7: an excuse for a reason if he has a bad game.

908
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 7: And I really think him having a bad game is

909
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 7: you know, there's a there's a decent chance that happens,

910
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 7: and that's the way the Rams can win the game.

911
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 7: But I do think Seattle is the more rested, more

912
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 7: complete team that is playing at a higher level and

913
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 7: is dominating some of these games. Now I don't know

914
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 7: if they're going to do that against the Rams, but

915
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 7: I think they have the potential in the second half

916
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 7: to pull away unless they have a ton of turnovers,

917
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 7: which is always a little bit loud card with them.

918
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 7: They've been a higher turnover team and Darnold I think

919
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 7: has maybe si of his fourteen turnovers or against them.

920
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 7: Seattle and the Rams have basically had an even points

921
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 7: score in two games, and it's been a seven to

922
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 7: one turnover ratio in favor of the Rams. So wow,

923
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 7: My feeling is that even out a little bit and

924
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 7: the Seahawks will probably win a little bit more comfortably.

925
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 5: Mike, obviously, you do quarterback tiers, which is one of

926
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 5: the if not the premiere offseason story I think probably

927
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 5: within the league. I'd be curious just what you've thought

928
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 5: about Drake May in his second year and what people

929
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 5: in the league that you've spoken to have thought about

930
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 5: the leap that he's made and just what it represents

931
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 5: or like why it's been so successful in this second season.

932
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 7: So I would say coming into this year, as much

933
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 7: as it was generally positive on Drake May, it was

934
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 7: really just the absence of negativity.

935
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: I don't think people were.

936
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 7: Just all in, but I think people what he did

937
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 7: last year, I thought it was really tough circumstances. I

938
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 7: thought he would benefit from Josh McDaniels, but did not

939
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 7: think that he would be, you know, in the MVP

940
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 7: candidate race. Now, part of the reason he was is

941
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 7: because Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, you know, and Lamar

942
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 7: Jackson didn't have quite necessarily the types of seasons. So

943
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 7: there's a component to that. But I think that he's

944
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 7: probably well on his way to being, you know, solidly

945
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 7: in that second tier, and we've seen some guys like that,

946
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 7: you know, make that type of a jump. He I

947
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 7: think he seems like the type of guy who may

948
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 7: you know, not have a big regression either, you know,

949
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 7: some of the things about his comfort in the pocket

950
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 7: and decision making seem to be better than they were.

951
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 7: So I think he's taken to the detailed coaching that

952
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 7: you're going to get from a Josh McDaniels, and not

953
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 7: everybody does, but I think it's a great situation that

954
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 7: the mesh between coaching and him seems to be perfect.

955
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 4: Mike enjoyed the games this weekend and we appreciate the

956
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 4: time truncated as it was, and let's stay in touch. Okay, absolutely,
