1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Going to head out to the KWA Common Spirit Health 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Highline and bringing our NFL network insider Ian Rapaport Power 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: by Chevron. Chevron the Human Energy Company committed to our 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: local communities and safely delivering affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy. 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: Ian Good afternoons or how are. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: You what's going on? How are you guys doing well? 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: We're doing fine. Obviously we're you know, so victory Monday 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: is even if it was kind of a weird game 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: in London? What did you think about that game? And 10 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: then I guess my follow up is do you think 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Justin Field's will hang on to the starting quarterback job 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: in New York? 13 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean TVD on Fields, He's got to play 14 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: better and looks, I think the Broncos had a defensively, 15 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: they did a great job and that pressure, you know, 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 2: it's like, look, Field gets criticized for not delivering the ball. 17 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: He gets criticized for the nine sacks, and for sure 18 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: some of those are on him, but part of the 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 2: reason he wouldn't deliver the ball was he didn't know 20 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: what he was seeing. You know. I think one thing 21 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: we've learned as advanced Joseph is a pretty good defensive coordinator, 22 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: and sometimes the offenses look bad because the Broncos defense 23 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: is good. Now, I thought the Jets did a nice 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: shop defensively too, So it's like, you know, they made 25 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: Sean Payton's offense. If you're gonna look not as good, 26 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of an ugly win. But they 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: all count the same, So I think Denver probably should 28 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: be pretty happy with it all. 29 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: Right, So a lot of news around the NFL. There's 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 3: gonna be a new coach down and with the Tennessee 31 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: Titans and Milake McCoy, former Denver Broncos as coach off 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: asive coordinator, is stepping in. Is it safe to say 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: that the Tennessee Titans right now at this point, they 34 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 3: really don't have any type of direction as far as 35 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: we're coaching. 36 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: And with their quarterback, well, I think with their quarterback 37 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: at least they have a guy. And you know, if 38 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: you're a future head coach of the Titans or someone 39 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: certainly willing to you know, wanting to come in there, 40 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what you want, is you want 41 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: a guy now? You know, did it hurt his development 42 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: from the O'Brian Callahan for a year? Maybe but there 43 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: is precedent that a new good coach can come in 44 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: and help things look better. Patriots, who they're playing this year, 45 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: they just did it right. I meaned Drake May with 46 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: Drod Meyo last year was a mess, and then Mike 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: Brabel and Josh mcganie's come in all of a sudden. 48 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: They're foreign to and looking a lot better. So you know, 49 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: you get a good coach in there, I think it 50 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: can be okay. A couple of names to watch. I 51 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: would say Matt Naggie, who is with Mike Burganji and 52 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: Kansas City did a really good job as the offensive 53 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: coordinator there. Arthur Smith, former Falcons coach, former Titans, those 54 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: who would be another name. You know, there's gonna be 55 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: some good candidates to watch, no doubt about it. I 56 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: mean I would say, you know, especially kind of where 57 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: they are in their development, that's a that's a pretty 58 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: good job for someone to take on. 59 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable though, and it was pointed out by 60 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: multiple people today about how first overall pick quarterbacks have 61 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: really had a tough time hanging on to their head coaches. 62 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: You talked about Urban Meyer with Trevor Lawrence, frank Reich 63 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: with Bryce Young, Matt Everflusen, then of course Brian Callahan, 64 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: now with cam Warden. It's an interesting thing because you 65 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: want to develop and give these guys continuity, but then 66 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: simultaneously the rug gets pulled out from underneath them. Most 67 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: time in the rookie year. 68 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's hard to be bad, and this 69 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 2: is you know, part of the problem is like people 70 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 2: are like, you know, I want to build the right way, 71 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: and it's like, okay, well to build the right way, 72 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: you got to kind of be a little bit bad sometimes. 73 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: I mean, the Texans are a good team, they got 74 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: a good foundation, They're obviously going to be the records 75 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: will be better this year, but I think everyone would 76 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: say they're stable. 77 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: Well, they had. 78 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: Went through a couple of coaches before Jamiica Ryans and 79 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: a couple of bad seasons where they collected really good players. 80 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: So one good way to get good is to be bad. 81 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: Problem is you have to go through it, and that's 82 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: not fun for anyone. So I think that's one of 83 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: the hard things. You know. It's like you can't just 84 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: flick a switch and be like, all right, we're the 85 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: number one overall. Pick al right next year, we're going 86 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: to go nine to eight, like you know, much harder 87 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: to actually do it, and so, you know, I think 88 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: it's more like if you high are a good coach, 89 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: then you have a better chance with the number one pick. 90 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: Is just people have hired bad coaches. Thank's part of 91 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: the problem. 92 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: So with that being said, how should we look at 93 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: the whole Baker Mayfield store Because we know he was 94 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: the former first round draft choice who had to go 95 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: to a bunch of teams and he seemed to be 96 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: pushed aside as a cast out. But now we're seeing 97 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: that he is revitalizing his career and someone even say 98 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: that he's in the MVP conversation. So well, the Baker 99 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: Mayfield situation change how most teams evaluate quarterbacks from here 100 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: on out. 101 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: I would say he is in the MVP conversation, but 102 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: probably not because I probably not. It'll change because you know, 103 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: what people look at is what's best of them. Right now, 104 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: I mean, very very very few people, very few teams 105 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: in the NFL can look at it and go all right, 106 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: well I'm going through this now. It's bad, but I'm 107 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: just going to hang on and wait because it's going 108 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: to get good. I think with Baker specifically. You know, 109 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: if I remember, if I remember correctly, you know, he 110 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: he had surgery on his left labrim and it messed 111 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: with his mechanics like for a year. I believe that's correct, 112 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: and so I think, you know, had the Browns been 113 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: willing to wait, it would have been probably would have 114 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: ended up okay. The problem was is they eyed a 115 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: new quarterback and they're like, all right, like we're going 116 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: to go trade for Deshaun Watson. And that was that. 117 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: You know, there's not always that option out there. But 118 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: you know, I would say most people don't want to 119 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: stick with anything. I think that's part of the problem. 120 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Last couple here for you Ian always appreciate it. Man. 121 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: So Brian Branch with the Detroit Lions gets a one 122 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: game suspension after last night's altercation with Juju Smith Schuster. 123 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: It's always an interesting thing because it's the second guy, right, 124 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: because Juju saw a cheap shot of him, but then 125 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: he comes in after the end of the game and 126 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: he ends up hitting him in the face. So I 127 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: guess that's the lesson here. 128 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, the lesson is don't don't 129 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: cheap shot anyone and keep you cool. You know it was. 130 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: It was weird because you know, the game was a 131 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 2: little bit chippy, but I didn't think it was that bad. 132 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: Brands gets hit from behind, you know, he comes back 133 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: and sort of retaliates and right in front of the cameras, 134 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 2: you know, right in front of the cameras. They basically 135 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: show him mushing Juju Smith Schuster and that's you know, 136 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 2: once it's there out there, and once there's the president 137 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: of the one game suspension for Jalen Carter, obvious suspension 138 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: was coming. You know, if Brian Brant was contrite, he 139 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: was upset. He believes it's not him. But if that's 140 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: the case, then you've got to figure out a way 141 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: to keep you cool. Of the NFL is going to 142 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 2: crack down, and certainly they they certainly cracked down today, 143 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: and you know, hopefully the service is a lesson for 144 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: a lot of people. 145 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: Well and I see And by the way, kudos to 146 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: you being able to tweet and talk at the same 147 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: time because I cannot do this. That Brian branch is appealing, 148 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: So good job for you to get that out there. 149 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: Man. I mean, I believe me, like I have the 150 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: phone on I was waiting for that news. So I 151 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: have the phone on speaker while I do this. But 152 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: these is you know, Mondays, this is what Monday is like. Sure, 153 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: I was supposed to do TV at six thirty my time, 154 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: and then it moved to six because of the firing, 155 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: and then it moved to a different time because of 156 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: the suspension. It's sort of like you got to stand 157 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: your toes in this world, you know, no doubt. 158 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: Man. Hey, well, we appreciate all that you do and 159 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: thank you so much for the time.
