Will check in with Paul Feinbaum, 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.000 he has spend college football analyst and great radio host 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.720 Voice of the SEC. We'll talk about two A Tongaviolo's 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.560 decision to go pro, which I understand. I'm just not 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.920 sure if I'm ready to risk a top five pick 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.720 on two of and that's the same, you know, I 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.400 feel this way like Joe burrow Is has been great. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.280 I just don't know how that translates to the NFL. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.240 And some really really smart football people have been on 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.919 this show and told me how great he is going 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.840 to be. Rick Neuheisel, who is as smart as anybody 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.120 on that position and that topic, said that he looks 0:02:55.120 --> 0:03:00.280 like a more athletic Tom Brady. I mean that's somebody 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.000 who has no doubts about Joe Burrow, but you know, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.840 maybe going to the Cincinnati Bengals will change a little 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.880 bit of that. And then Tuah, if he goes to 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.240 the Dolphins or the Chargers or maybe the Raiders. You know, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.520 he got Herbert from Oregon, who I'm still not sold on. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.200 I think he's got a lot of talent, but he 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.799 might be this year's Josh Allen. Yes, mclovin, but he's 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.400 tall with a huge army. You know, even with the 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.560 episodes on Short Guys, that's Josh Allen. So in seven, 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.800 I know, I know, and I see what people and 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.360 scouts and GM's coaches fell in love with With Josh Allen. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.680 There's a fascination there of what he could be. I 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.800 don't know if he ever gets there, but there is 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:47.560 that fascination that we love potential and Tah, it would 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.040 concern me because I just don't know if the injuries 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.280 are reoccurring. I don't know if he's going to have 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.160 trouble throughout his career if arthritis sets him. Look at 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:59.640 Todd Gurley. Todd Gurley, I mean he was Brandon Roy 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.080 with the Portland Trailblazers. Like these guys started off and 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.480 you're going, oh my god, these guys are unbelievable. I 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.280 mean Zion. We don't know about Zion Williamson. I think 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:15.160 is the third heaviest player in the NBA, and he's 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.280 not going to get smaller. And that's why I would 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.400 not have him come back and play this year. He 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.440 may one two. I would not have him come back 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.279 and play this year. It would be just welcome to 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.560 the NBA. Get acclimated, get used to travel, being around 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:34.440 the team, rehab, get ready for next year because I 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.320 don't know if that's going to be. And this is 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.719 his plant leg when he goes up to dunk, and 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.840 that's what his game is centered around. But you know, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.320 just these injuries and trying to figure that out. And 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.720 they're young athletes too. I don't know what Zion's going 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.120 to be. I don't know what you know, to a 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.479 tongue of elo is going to be. But if he 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.240 is a smart football player and he patterns him self 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.160 after Russell Wilson, then I think that you know, he 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.880 could be a very very productive quarterback. I don't know 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.400 if he's a great quarterback, but I think he's certainly 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.920 somebody you'd want as the face of your franchise. I 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.440 do believe that, and I hope that he's able to 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.160 recover fully from it. And judging from the interviews yesterday, 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.479 it sounds like he thinks he is. Here's two talking 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.680 about the injury and how they're viewing this as sort 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.480 of a knee injury, not a hip injury. A lot 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.880 of the guys, you know, the general managers, the owners 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.040 that I've got to talk to, said the same thing, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.960 and they kind of look at this injury as like 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.599 a knee injury almost, although it's not, you know in 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.360 a way that Okay, we're going to take a chance 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.000 on this guy, or would he be able to possibly 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.479 do a pro day before the draft and whatnot. And 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.279 really the biggest thing they want to do is just 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.960 see that we can, you know, move and we can 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.440 just be back to how we were playing prior to 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.040 the injury. It's like a knee injury, but it's not 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.360 like an injury. It's a hip injury, and it's tricky. 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.760 And the only other athlete we look at with a 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.400 hip injury is Bo Jackson. Where you go, oh, and 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.159 that didn't end well, but can he have a pro day? 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.919 This is where the scouts, the gms, they want to 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.920 see the medical records on you. That's why the combine. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.320 I don't drive too much out of it because you'll 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.119 be like, this guy ran a four to three. Okay, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.400 can he play? This guy bench press twenty seven times? 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.960 Can he play? The scouts will tell you they love 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.719 seeing the medical records at the combine. That's really, really, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.080 really important, and the interviewing process is really important as well. 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.240 All Right, If you would like get in touch with 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.839 the program, you can in a variety of ways. You 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.640 can email, dial us up, or tweet. We say good 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.560 morning to our great radio affiliates around the country, numbering 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.320 three hundred and sixty two. We have breaking news. We 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.520 played the breaking news game yesterday at this time and 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.640 this was the Dallas Cowboys and Mike McCarthy. Paulie says, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:03.440 we're ready to play the breaking news game again. Man, Dan, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.600 I want you to finish. A following statement reported by 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:10.440 Pete Famil of Yahoo Sports okay sources, Okay. Baylor head 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:14.080 coach Matt Rule the New York Giants is finalizing a 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.040 deal to be the next head coach of the New 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.280 York Giants. Would anyone else like to guess. Let's say 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:25.320 Brown sources Baylor head coach, former head coach Matt Rule 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.320 is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:32.320 of the Carolina Panther. The report is from Famil and others. 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.040 Wow that he has scheduled to be in Carolina today, 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.080 New York tomorrow, and Carolina didn't let him out of 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.000 the building without the job. I don't know if he's 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.600 an analytics guy mclub, and but I know that new 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.480 owner in Carolina was obsessed with somebody coming in who 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.080 was an analytics guy. Yeah. I think he's down with 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.160 the analytics. Okay, man, what a loss for the giants. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.680 You know, a source told me about because we were 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:01.200 looking at Lincoln Riley, urban Meyer and Matt Rule like 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.280 those were the guy the college guys that might get jobs. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:10.160 This source of mind loves Matt Rule, loves him over 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:15.320 the other two. He said not even close, and I went, goah, really, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.680 he said, yeah, Matt Rule. He thought he thinks he's 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.840 ticketed for stardom in the NFL. Yes, Matt Rule was 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.080 a Temple of Course and then Baylor, but he had 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.440 one year in the NFL twenty twelve. He was a 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.600 New York Giants assistant offensive line coach, and he went 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.559 to Temple Baylor and now the Carolina pan Y big 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.640 DP sho fan. I've heard from many people, well he 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.959 will be now after what I just said about him. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.400 But by the way, a lot of people say that 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.680 who you'd never know if it's I hope it's real. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.360 But this source said, play calling fearless, you know, like 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.000 he talked about him in glowing like you would have 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.520 thought he was talking about Lombardi or something. It was 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.560 just glowing praise. Here. We spent a good portion of 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.640 the first hour talking about Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.440 and love at First Sight, which I've seen, you know, 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:09.560 probably most of Mike McCarthy's press conferences, and I just 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.760 can't imagine him being that charismatic where he's gonna walk 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:17.120 in and Jerry goes, I'm in love. What did What 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.160 did Mike McCarthy say? And Mike McCarthy you'll notice and 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.280 maybe maybe you didn't notice this, Peter King, did Mike 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:29.680 McCarthy a solid man? Because Peter profiled Mike McCarthy and 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.000 you forgot about Mike McCarthy and you were like, oh, 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.080 I try Mike McCarthy, like, he had a pretty decent 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.000 decade there in Green Bay, and Peter did a profile 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:45.040 on him and in Mike McCarthy was strategic in mentioning, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.960 you know, embracing analytics, and I think that that helped 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.560 him get the Dallas Countboys job. I really do, because 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.000 I thought Mike McCarthy was going to the Browns. I 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.560 didn't know that Dallas was going to go this fall 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.880 in love. It's quick. They just got divorced and then 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.600 so that's like you get divorced after ten years and 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.200 then you get married, like you go to Vegas for 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.640 a honeymoon. Like that's it. I'm getting divorced. We're finally 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.120 going to get it, get divorced, and I'm getting married 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.880 tomorrow because i just had somebody sleep over at my 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.440 house and I'm in love. Yes, I didn't realize he 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.160 was in a bunker studying all these games and plays 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.319 and breaking down all this video all these months, waiting 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.000 for his next gig. So I'm sure that had to 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.599 have impressed him to Mike McCarthy brings postseason pedigree to 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.400 the job in Dallas, got a Super Bowl, ten career 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:40.160 playoff wins, that's tied for second in the NFL since 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.120 he took over as the Packers head coach in two 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.680 thousand and six. So Belichick has twenty. Then it's Pete Carroll, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:52.240 John Harbaugh and Mike McCarthy. Teams with the fewest postseason 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.880 wins since two thousand and six, when McCarthy took over 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:01.040 the Packers the Bills, Bengals, Lines, Dolphins, Raiders, Buccaneers, Redskins 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:08.320 zero wins, Chiefs, Rams, Titans two wins, Bears, Cowboys, Jags, Panthers, 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:14.480 Vikings three wins. Over that spin a couple other things. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.960 I was talking to a source yesterday about the whole 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.920 Brady situation because I thought, because he listens to the show, 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.319 so he says, you know, you think Tom's going to 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.960 stay there or retire, And I go, I just get 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.040 that feeling that maybe Tom wants to put it out 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.320 there that hey, I can go elsewhere. And he said, 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.679 you're making a big mistake here. I go, Okay, what's 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:43.400 the big mistake? Belichick is coldhearted, He's not sentimental. He 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.079 doesn't care about a scrap book. He wants to move on. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.160 If he decides to move on, he's gonna move on. 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.000 Robert Kraft will have the scrap book. He'll be emotional, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:57.040 he'll be sentimental. This is Bill Belichick's call. And he 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.440 goes he said, I'm listening to what he had to 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.760 say after the game, and I think he knows. Bill 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.800 Belichick has seen enough of Tom and wants to move on. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.800 And I go, how could you tell that? He goes 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.520 Tom real and like there was almost this yep, I 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.160 get it. It's over, like almost this resignation, and I went, wow, okay, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:23.200 but not by his choice. This is Belichick. If Tom 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.800 Brady's not back with the Patriots. Now, Brady may say 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.280 I don't want to come back, and I know that 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.520 there's quotes that he didn't have fun this year. I 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.760 don't know if you unless you win the Super Bowl. 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.120 I don't know if you have fun playing for Bill Belichick. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.400 I think it's a job. You go in and you play, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.520 you get paid, and then that's hit. You win a 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.440 super Bowl. Great, it was fun. This couldn't have been 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.600 a fun year for him, obviously, But I was told 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:51.840 Belichick is cutthroat, cold hearted and is not sentiment. And 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.360 I go back to the interview I did with Brady 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.720 at the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, and 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.680 I said, do you think that you'll ever get together 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:06.320 with Bill and Reminisce And he goes, no, he couldn't 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.800 give you a fake hand. No, like it was. It 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.160 was such a great answer because he's like, no, I 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.480 can't see us doing that. Even when Belichick and Parcels 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.440 got down to got together to do that special the 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.920 two Bills, it was so awkward, like they were in 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.640 the same room, but it looked like they were million 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.520 miles apart from each other there. So that was just 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.679 what I learned yesterday about Tuah and how you know 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.080 at least one scout was looking at Tah and wants 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.640 to see the medical records. And then the Brady situation 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.000 as well. Yes, I still go back to a couple 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.520 of years ago. It always felt like Belichick wanted to 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.559 keep Jimmy Garoppolo for just this reason and didn't want 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.600 him traded, and that the trade was done by Robert 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.880 Kraft to get this guy out of there. Well, I 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.600 go back, and I know Tom Cern will probably disagree 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.400 with me, a great reporter for the Patriots, but I 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.760 was told Mom went to Craft and said, you got 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.920 to make a decision here you know me or Garoppolo 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:11.199 and Bill. Bill wanted Groppolo. I mean, that's why he 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.080 handpicked the team to send him to. Remember, he was 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.199 going to go to Cleveland, or we thought he was 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.040 going to go to Cleveland, and then he wanted to 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.240 make sure he was going to go to a team 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.840 with a good head coach or offensive coordinator. And that's 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.440 why he handpicked the forty nine ers. Yeah. Time Now, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.240 even if Tom Brady deep down wants to leave, how 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.400 important is it for him to make it look at 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.880 some way, somehow that he was forced out just from 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.040 his legacy and for the fans that he wants to 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.080 sound like Belichick didn't want him as opposed to he 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.240 wanted to get a fresh start. Yeah, I think that's 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:45.560 a valid point. I don't, but I don't know if Tom. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.760 I'm gonna guess the Patriots fans know what Belichick is 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.640 capable of doing. Yeah, I don't know how sentimental he is. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.240 I mean he said he let everybody go. When you 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:01.120 think about it, just about everybody. He was like, Okay, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.560 in that situation, you can't have emotion. You can't. Now 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.480 Robert Kraft's gonna have emotion because he's the owner and 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.960 what Tom Brady gave to him. Belichick probably think somebody 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.080 else would have given this to me if you didn't. Yeah, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:16.880 that's why I look at a team like the New 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.800 York Giants, and they were emotional by keeping Eli a 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.600 season longer and draft in sae Quon Barkley instead of saying, 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.360 we know the future is not at all Eli manning 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.040 near or long term. Let's pull the bandit off now 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.080 and grab Sam Darnold and move on with it. But 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.280 they were like, you know what he's done so much 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.760 of the franchise, super have a parade from him in 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.320 the squad pack and look at Jerry Jones that he was. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.480 He treated Jason Garrett as his son and much to 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.680 the detriment of that franchise. There at some point you 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.000 gotta be cold, cold blooded. Yes, yeah, but doesn't Tom 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.920 Brady give him the best chance to win by a 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.560 mile next year? That's what I don't quite understand. I 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.600 don't see anybody. I don't see anybody who's even closed. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.000 But if you had Jimmy Garoppolo still there right, No, 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.040 But now when you want to do you want to 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.520 spend because Tom doesn't want to give you a discount, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.200 and he's he looked his age this year, like like 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.200 he beats father time. But father time is undefeated. Like 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.240 he was, he had beat it for a little while, 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.720 longer than any other quarterback has ever beaten Father Time. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.040 But you know, you can't sit there and go, well, 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.040 you know, he needs offensive weapons. When they did have 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:26.080 some weapons, could they use more? I've never met a 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.680 quarterback who goes, man, I'm full, I don't need any 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.480 more offensive weapons. I don't know if Tom goes, you know, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.920 I'm want to stick it to you. Hey, I can 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.320 go to the Chargers. They got a lot of weapons there. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.200 I'll show you what. I don't know. I don't know 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.880 how Ego plays into this, but I did think and 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.840 still think that he will stay with the Patriots for 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120 one more year or he'll retire. Yeah, when they had weapons, though, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.680 pretty sure they went six and oh, I mean they 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.400 started the season off pretty well. I don't know who 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.080 their weapons are exactly. That's exactly the point that they 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.200 show all of their weapons fell off as the year progressed. Right, 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.400 Nobody saw Antonio Brown that happening, But man, they looked 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:04.840 pretty good when he was on the field that but 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.600 That's why you realize how desperate they were to keep 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:13.959 Antonio Brown. They know he's not a good guy, but Brady, 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.639 you know, said to Robert Kraft, look, I want to 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.159 keep him, and I think Belichick did too, because they 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.200 knew they the cupboard was bare, they didn't have any weapons, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.280 you know, Josh Gordon, I mean they took a chance 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:32.720 on him and then Antonio Brown. You know, then it 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.480 felt like that they were going to take another chance 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:39.360 on Antonio Brown. Yeah. Point, I'm going back to I'm 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.600 looking at the coverage. There's there's stories out there the 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.040 Giants could kick the tires on Jason Garrett. Mike Floria 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.959 and others are reporting that no, that he was one 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.760 of the people they were considering interviewing, which is a 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.920 long way from hiring. Yes, but I think that they 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:56.160 liked him a while ago, and that this is ownership 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.959 because Dave Gelman is in there still is the GM. 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.879 I don't know what he thinks of Jason Garrett. But 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.000 do you bring in Jason Garrett? You know, do you 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.200 need Jason Garrett to beat the Cowboys? Do you want 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.600 to get away from four and twelve and get to 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.680 a nice couple of eight and eight seasons to calm 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.800 things down. Didn't they almost hire him at well? Yeah, 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.320 I think so, like he was it like it was 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.639 just him and maybe Coughlin or so. I can't remember 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.440 what the transition was. I don't know. I'd have to 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.399 go back and look, but I do think the Giants 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.159 were close to hiring him many many years ago. I 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.439 also wonder about this with Mike McCarthy when he was 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.280 in green Bay. I think green Bay threw the ball 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:37.480 more than anybody. Now he's in Dallas. Is Dallas going 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.920 to be this passing offense? It felt like they were 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.720 this year, and it felt like at least people thought 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.080 they got off track because they weren't the same Dallas 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.119 team that ran first set up play action. And you know, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.320 now it's dak is going to be the guy we're 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:59.320 gonna load up and go into battle with. And I 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.440 so I wonder about that with Mike McCarthy. What does 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.800 what does the analytics say what he wants to do 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.080 with that offense there? Because that you're bringing him in 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.960 because he's an offensive minded guy. Although I do have 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:16.400 to factor in what Aaron Rodgers said about him, where 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:21.400 he talked about his low football IQ, and I just don't. 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.720 It just seems like they fell in love really really 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.840 fast with Mike McCarthy, Like that would have been one 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.200 where if you said, two weeks from now they hired 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.240 Mike McCarthy, then I'd go, Okay, you did your due diligence. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.479 This guy hadn't coached, and now you bring him in, 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.120 he embraces analytics, and then you fall in love with him. Yeah, 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.880 mcloving remember when he first came in and he rejuvenated 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:47.760 FARV really quickly. FARV was going down fast. Yeah, Mike 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.840 McCarthy was a cutting edge genius. Then he did with 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:51.920 Rogers like this guy is on top of it. Then 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.240 how did he become so passe so quickly? He really did. 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.760 I don't know if Aaron Rodgers neutered him like it 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.080 to the point where Aaron just said, look, I'm gonna 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:03.960 call the places here, or I'm not going to run 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.760 the plays that you want to run. I don't know, 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.520 but it felt like he was emasculated there a little bit. 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.480 I'm also curious, you know, the Panthers hired Matt Rule 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:13.919 as their new head coach. What does that mean for 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:20.919 Cam Newton? Is he getting a fresh start, somebody's going 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.040 to take a chance on Cam Newton, and that could 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.680 be a really, you know, interesting chance, a great chance. 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.480 I would take a chance on Cam Newton if I'm 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:34.560 one of these teams. Let's say New England, just throw 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.040 that out there, New England. Would New England be interested 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.639 in Cam Newton? Would the Chargers be interested in Cam Newton? 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:45.679 Are the Raiders gonna move on? Like, you have the 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.200 draft and then you have a couple of quarterbacks here 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.159 that you still have to factor in. Yeah. Yeah, if 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:52.959 you look at the draft order, since they number one 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.320 takes Joe Burrow Miami at five at the quarterback, the 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.160 Chargers at six are definitely in play for a quarterback. 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.800 Caroline at seven definitely played for quarterback. Then Jacksonville is 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.520 nine and has a few first round draft picks, so 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.679 it could get saucy after the first four picks. But 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:12.000 if I'm the Giants, I'm open for business to trade, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.280 because if the Chargers want to leap Prague and you 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.000 and you decide that you want your pick of Herbert 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:24.360 or Tua and you move up there, that would be 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.680 because Washington has their quarterback, or at least they think 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:32.200 they do, and Cincinnati's gonna get their quarterback. Detroit is 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:38.200 in there. They got their quarterback. So does somebody want 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.080
