1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're starting our official campaign

Speaker 3: What up?

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 4: I keep sinking?

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: Your chair is sinking or just the just like psychologically?

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: Oh okay, it is that time of the year.

10

Speaker 1: We will give our award picks the Associated Press votes.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: We're already due on Monday, so we might as well

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: give our choices. We don't have a vote, though. We'll

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: also do a little bit of news and then, most importantly, Colleen,

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: what do you have next to your chair?

00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: I have a pile sack of Christmas cards. Yes, from

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,120

Speaker 2: And you delivered basic shows.

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, do Christmas content around Christmas? The cool ones

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: who want to extend it out because there's so much

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Christmas stuff around Christmas do it after like a week

21
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: into January.

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,200

Speaker 5: New Year's and as someone who works a lot on

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 5: those days and the surrounding days, I need to extend

00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 5: my holiday season. I still have gifts wrapped under the

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 5: tree that have not been given out yet.

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Wow, it's still up. I just took mine down last night.

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: But we also missed on the show. Yes, so happy

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: birthday College, thank.

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 5: You, thank you so much Townny on exactly find the

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 5: break is so excited.

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Yes, you want to tire month celebrate by talking about

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: firing coordinators getting fired. So if you're just joining us

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: this week, we had a show on Monday afternoon myself

38
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: and Nick Chuk going through all the head coaching changes,

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: we only have a few coordinated updates. Let's start with

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the commanders the rumors. The report from Diana Rossini over

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: the weekend ended up being true. Cliff Kingsbury out after

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: two years with Dan Quinn as the offensive coordinator. Joel

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Witt Joe Witt, the defensive coordinator, also is out that

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: one less of a surprise, he lost his play calling

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: during the season, Connie, are you surprised? Like a day

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: after Jane and Daniels kind of speaks up about how

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: much he likes, you know, Cliff Kingsbury and his mom

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: sent some things out on social how much she likes

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Cliff Kimberry that they got rid of Cliff Kingsbury.

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 5: Well, I did find it surprising that the endorsement came

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 5: from Jane Daniels, and then it was like, wow, that

52
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 5: doesn't really matter. And we talked so much about consistency

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 5: in the league and how important it is for especially

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: a young quarterback, and we saw what Jane Daniels was

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 5: able to do last year, and without his playmaking ability

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: on the field, of course, the offense is going to suffer.

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 3: They actually were pretty good.

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 5: At running the ball like that, that wasn't an issue.

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: If they had Jayden Daniels available, I think things would

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 5: be a little bit different.

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: But I was a little surprised that they let them go.

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 6: There was also some rumblings and murmurings about some tension

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 6: between himself and the front office, Adam Peters specifically. This

65
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 6: was also in Adam Peter's press conference recently where he

66
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 6: talked about, hey, I do think that myself and Terry McLaurin,

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 6: for example, would have liked to get this deal done sooner,

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 6: sort of admitting to a couple of mistakes that he made.

69
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 6: Cliff Kingsbury is a former head coach in the NFL

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: and he also was pretty aware that he would be

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 6: in demand for some of these other teams. I think

72
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 6: that if you're going to make your wishes known potentially

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 6: within an organization of the direction that you want to

74
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 6: take things, you're either going to do that when you

75
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: know you have nothing to lose, or there's a chance

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 6: that they listened to you. And in this case, it

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 6: was more likely to me that changes were going to

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 6: happen regardless.

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think think based on the reporting in Washington

80
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: from the different reporters, they're reading between the lines dan

81
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: Quinn and there actually is a quote when he's asked

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: about the hurry up offense that Cliff Kingsbury had because

83
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, offensively, they ran way more like hundreds of

84
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: plays more in hurry up than any other team. And

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: dan Quinn you know, talked about the slow already. Yeah,

86
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: like kind of the downside of that for his defense,

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: which has not played well. And if you watch the

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: whole Jade Daniels media availability and they talked about the offense,

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: he did also say though he wants a voice in

90
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: any future offense and how it's run, Uh that like

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: we can best maximize so who knows like it in

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: the end like it sounds like dan Quinn wanted someone

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: based on the reporting and the athletic and Washington locally,

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: Washington putslake who runs the damn ball a little more.

95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: And the problem I have with that is just that

96
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: the commander's offense was clearly the positive of this team

97
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks.

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: But he's not gonna get another.

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: Chance to be a head coach again, dan Quinn, and

100
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: he probably can't survive another season that bad again. So

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: you got to go out with who you want, and

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I think they might have a specific idea of who

103
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: they do want.

104
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: I agree with that because if you also look at

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: a firing that happened today, they commanders fired their offensive

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 6: line coach as well, and so this to me means

107
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 6: that they're going to go throw the bag at somebody

108
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 6: who is going to re establish the line of scrimmage

109
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 6: in a way that gives dan Quinn's defense the benefit

110
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 6: of more ball control on the offensive side. Because that's

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 6: what you mean when you're talking about if you're a

112
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 6: defense and you run this type of like bend, don't

113
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: break defense that dan Quinn wants to run, you already

114
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 6: know you're going to be on the field a certain

115
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 6: amount of time. You need enough sustained drives in a ball,

116
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 6: control way, time of possession, those types of things from

117
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 6: your offense in order to and you just aren't going

118
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 6: to do that passing the ball. I think also this

119
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 6: is Cliff Kingsbury. We know loves the spread and he

120
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: loves the point and shoot, tell the quarterback what to

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 6: do kind of kind of system. I think he evolved

122
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 6: a little bit with his usage of tight ends as

123
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 6: well over the last couple of years.

124
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: I think that bodes well for him overall.

125
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 6: But it just seemed like a philosophical shift and perhaps

126
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 6: a personality shift between the front office and Cliff.

127
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 5: And I wonder too if for dan Quinn if he's

128
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 5: going to retain the play calling like calling the defense,

129
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 5: or if he's going to bring some money in to

130
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 5: specifically do that again too.

131
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: So that's something to watch man.

132
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: Things changed because Addy raheem Moore.

133
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking for the exact quotes for Jaden

134
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Daniels when he did say like, well, you know, we're

135
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: going to have to evolve and grow as an offense too,

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: and this is sort of like more of a college

137
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: unique style of offense and man, the social media not

138
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: as big on Adam Peters and Dan Quinn right now

139
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: as they were twelve months ago when they were like

140
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: the toast of the town. People are hating on Adam Peters,

141
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: who doesn't have a lot of draft picks right now,

142
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: and it just goes to show like how quickly things change.

143
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 6: But Cliff's now being paid by three separate organization.

144
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And uh and.

145
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Back getter, you probably will get a job. This is

146
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: how you know he's friends with all the insiders like

147
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: in Washington or depending on whose reporting, it's like Cliff

148
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: got fired, but the insiders it's all mutually agreed to

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: part ways.

150
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: Uh and uh, I'm sure he'll get another job.

151
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: And it really sounds like that people inside, uh, that

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: that ecosystem there covering the team think that they've got

153
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: Brian Dable circle. Jonathan Jones of CBS had a comment

154
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: from a coaching agent who said, wait till you see

155
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: who they get as coordinator. It's going to be better

156
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: than some people's head coach options. And I'm like it's

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: a very small group of Yeah. It was like, yeah,

158
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: first of all, it's one of your clients, Like, no

159
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: one really fits.

160
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: That I love this time of year so much. I

161
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: genuinely love it.

162
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: It's good, it's it's Brian Dable. There's no one else

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: that fits that requirement, and I get it all right.

164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see that the Cowboys fired Matt Eberflus.

165
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't think there's much more to talk about that is.

166
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: He's out, He's getting paid for a couple more years.

167
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see if the Cowboys really do try

168
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 1: to throw the bag at Brian Flores if he doesn't

169
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: get a head coaching job. Aaron Shotts at FTN Fantasy

170
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: had the Cowboys as one of the five worst defenses

171
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: I think of the last twenty five years, which is

172
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: crazy that they were that bad in terms of DVOA.

173
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: So Eberflus has gone. And then finally some Falcons news.

174
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: This was from Field Yates that Kirk Cousins modified his contract.

175
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: Too long to go through all the details, it sounds

176
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: like it just makes it easier for them to cut

177
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: him before the start of the season without as much

178
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: salary cap pain. So it sounds like he'll be cut,

179
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: but I guess the final decision might be going to

180
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: team president Matt Ryan. Now this is not official that

181
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, but rap Sheet in Rapaport says

182
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan is believed to be the favorite for

183
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: the newly created title of president of the Atlanta Falcons. Yes,

184
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: they're creating the title for Matt Ryan. Like it's the

185
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: most shameless like just pay the Rooney rule. Fine, I think,

186
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: like because they're going to have to go through interviews

187
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: to satisfy the Rooney rule. But they're literally creating a

188
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: job for Matt Ryan to be in charge of football

189
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: operations more or.

190
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: Less like when awards are created and fake metals are

191
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 5: given to people, right, but this is a.

192
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Real deal job. You know what I respect is Now

193
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: we're hearing after a differing report also from NFL media

194
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: earlier this week that no, Matt Ryan will not be

195
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: trying to work for CBS. At the same time, it's like, yeah,

196
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: this sounds like a full time job, like.

197
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: As you should do if you're going to have such.

198
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: A job, right like Tom Brady that I think that's

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: the biggest problem. It's not the conflict of interests. I

200
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: mean that's there's a lot of it is what it is, Yeah,

201
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: that their conflict of interests. There's a lot of those,

202
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: and I do think that's a problem. The bigger problem

203
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: is he's treating it like his fourth job, Tom Brady,

204
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: and he's not doing very well at it. Whereas Matt Ryan,

205
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: I guess it's just got to be like running the

206
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: show now in Atlanta.

207
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, unless it's like more of an ambassador situation.

208
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: I doubt it.

209
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 6: I doubt it very much because he was the last

210
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 6: sort of ascension to glory of that franchise, and I

211
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 6: know that that group over there. One thing that is

212
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: important is that this doesn't turn into the situations with

213
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 6: quarterbacks who have gotten involved in the organization only to.

214
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: Have that go very sideways.

215
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 6: Elway and Marino is not really a big factor in

216
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 6: decision making.

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Marina at his moments, they had, they had a run,

218
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: they won a super Bowl.

219
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 6: But yes, in terms of being involved in the front office,

220
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 6: not really being a huge factor in the decision making there.

221
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 6: So I think they want Matt Ryan to come in

222
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 6: and absolutely run the organization from a president level, which

223
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 6: to be clear, is very different from running the organization

224
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 6: like as a GM or as a head coach. It's

225
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 6: a very much over the top role, whereas other people

226
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 6: within that organization are going to focus more unlike the

227
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 6: soccer team and like the other business holdings. It's like

228
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 6: getting another person in there whose focus is football.

229
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: He'll have that title, but.

230
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: He'll basically hire the GM and the coach. I mean,

231
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: the owner will certainly have a big say. But you know,

232
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, like, what else are you doing unless you're

233
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: a key person for that.

234
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 6: Nobody's saying that he's not going to have a big say.

235
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 6: I'm just saying it's a tailor. It seems a tailored

236
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 6: role to specifically get involve him involved in the football

237
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 6: operations of the team less so some of the they

238
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 6: reassign multiple executives, including John Rich McKay, to focus on

239
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 6: other areas of the team.

240
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: This is all football.

241
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 6: We need somebody who's been a part of this franchise

242
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 6: as at its peak to actually go in and run

243
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 6: the football operations in a way that's not necessarily interfering

244
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 6: with the GM.

245
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: That he probably will.

246
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Handpick more just I find the tweet funny that he

247
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: will interview for the job that they created for him,

248
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: and then Ian says he's considered the favorite. All right,

249
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: we have a very calling for you. Short segment before

250
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: these wars.

251
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 6: Yes, emphasis on short and it has been emphasized to me.

252
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: This is no, that's not true. But you know, we

253
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: thought we'd have some fun with it. Jordan has some

254
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: GM deep dive tidbits, but we're going to really.

255
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: Chust she's cracks right now.

256
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: Her broadcasting concision abilities, and we're going to put a

257
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: clock on this. We're putting sixty seconds on the clock.

258
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Eric is back there. Welcome to Jordan's GM tidbits. Start

259
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: the clock.

260
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 6: Okay, I want to start with Miami because I want

261
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 6: to get a little bit closer into the layers that

262
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 6: these candidates have with the front office in general and

263
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 6: the executive group that Stephen Ross is leading in this search.

264
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 6: Alec Halaby has been Howie Roseman's longtime right hand man

265
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 6: for forever, but also has a previous relationship with Stephen Ross,

266
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 6: members of his family and members of that executive team.

267
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 4: Trica Mott and r J.

268
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 6: Gillener two really respected talent evaluators in San Francisco, and

269
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 6: Mike McDaniel has worked directly with them on team building

270
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 6: and scouting, especially in the past. Josh Williams was a

271
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 6: big time favorite for that Jacksonville Jaguars job.

272
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: A lot of people thought that he was getting that job.

273
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 6: James Gladstone came in at the final moment and just

274
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 6: blew the ownership group away. Josh Williams, I think is

275
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 6: a favorite for this job, as well as Alec Halliby.

276
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 6: He's also worked with Mike McDaniel very closely over the years.

277
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 6: John Eric Sullivan, respected executive, been with the Packers his

278
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 6: entire NFL career, knows the system Mike McDaniel runs really well.

279
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 6: I would think that this is also an opportunity for

280
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 6: the Miami Dolphins to ask John Eric Sullivan.

281
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: I think Matt Lafleur might be available this offseason.

282
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 6: John McKay is the dark horse, but his success out

283
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 6: of Los Angeles recently includes Brad Holmes and James Gladstone.

284
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 6: John McKay is very respected in league circles, especially scouting

285
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 6: and pro personnel.

286
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: That's Miami.

287
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: That was good. If I was giving you some feedback

288
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: on how to get in that sixty second forget the

289
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: build up. You got to get right in there. This

290
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: is all right, Let's get into the Miami thing. You

291
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: gotta just like die right in. Yeah.

292
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: Barry Jackson Barry Jackson.

293
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: Guys, I think the show is amazing and I'm already

294
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: ten out of ten.

295
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: All yeah, Miami.

296
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: Harold reported that Mike McDaniel will not be in on

297
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: the GM interviews as previously reported, But there are six

298
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: people involved in the Zoom interviews. Steven Ross the owner,

299
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: and two of the others are Troy Aikman and Dan Marino,

300
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: which just as funny that there's a seven box Zoom.

301
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's do the awards.

302
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 6: And in Atlanta, I would call Ian Cunningham the favorite.

303
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I've now.

304
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how that all like, how does well,

305
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't even want to get into it. How does

306
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: that all get out? Because like I've now seen that

307
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: in four or five places, I guess. But is like

308
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: in Matt Ryan had no saying that it all just

309
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: seems kind of all backwards. But maybe they've been planning

310
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: this for more than a month. Obviously, Raheem.

311
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: If a search for is brought in with four or

312
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 6: five weeks left in the regular season, they've already made

313
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 6: their decision and they're setting up the pieces of how

314
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 6: to move on and then into the next phase.

315
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't know it's that it was there,

316
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: but like a week ago at this time we were

317
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: saying the Rams win that that is going to be

318
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: meaningful in that building, and now it's a week later

319
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: they had already Yeah, they had already picked it.

320
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: I had a dream last night that Les Snead was

321
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: in the grocery store with me.

322
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: That is so weird.

323
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: You just reminded me that could totally happen.

324
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: What did you get.

325
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Ordering?

326
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, less.

327
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: Have you ever run into him? Just out and about.

328
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: I feel like you're relatively close, uh area of town.

329
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, I haven't, Okay, okay, strange MVP.

330
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: So we've talked a lot about m VP.

331
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: We've did a whole show on Coach of the Year,

332
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: like we could spend a whole show on any one

333
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: of these awards, but we got to get to those

334
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: holiday cards. So we're going to go through pretty quick,

335
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: just like who we want and who are our final

336
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: choices for all the big awards. It's actually time for

337
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: delivering results presented by Uber Eats. When football makes you hungry,

338
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: order Uber Eats. They get the cream of the crop,

339
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: the best award. We will decide our MVP picks right now.

340
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with the MVP conversation. Okay, Colleen,

341
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: who did you land on?

342
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: Well?

343
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 5: I was between Matthew Stafford and Drake May, and I'm

344
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: giving the award to Drake May.

345
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: Okay, And he gets the award because.

346
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 5: Obviously leading the league in EPA per play, but his

347
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 5: efficiency was just unbelievable. He led the league in passerrating

348
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 5: completion percentage. Only Tom Brady and Kurt Warner were quarterbacks

349
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: to do both of those things. Finish the year leading

350
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 5: both of those categories and taking a team that had

351
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 5: three wins to a team that now has fourteen wins,

352
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 5: won the division, was almost the one seed in the AFC.

353
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 5: This is he raised the ceiling so high, and he

354
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: did it with a supporting cast that is nowhere near

355
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 5: what Matthew Stafford has. So for me, Drake May is

356
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: the MVP, plus the the dual thread ability, how mobile

357
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 5: he is. What he added on the ground as well,

358
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 5: he was able to third in long situations like he

359
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: just he played at a rate that I don't think

360
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: a lot of people expected him to.

361
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: No. I'm reminded of Nick right giving me grief. I

362
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: think on our show that we had Drake May before

363
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: the season ranked around fifteenth or sixteenth overall in the

364
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: NFL already, and he was like, He's like, well, doesn't

365
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: he have to prove it a little more first? And

366
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I thought he already kind of did

367
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: to be fifteenth or sixteen. Now we're talking about MVP.

368
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: I never saw that coming to you would have Stafford

369
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: second your choice, I.

370
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 6: Flip it because I've been Matthew Stafford MVP all year.

371
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 6: I'm sticking with Matthew Stafford MVP. Drake May is a

372
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 6: very very close second. I think Drake May will win

373
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 6: the MVP. I don't really, but I'm going with Matthew Stafford.

374
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: I think the highs are unconsciously high. The floor he

375
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 6: raised the floor of his play. You know, sometimes he'd

376
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 6: be streaky. He was a little bit in a couple

377
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 6: of weather games this year as well. Carolina looms large.

378
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 6: But I think for with Matthew Stafford. He also didn't

379
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 6: have Pukin Akoua for part of the season. He also

380
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 6: hasn't had DeVante Adams. They're making it work with like

381
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 6: this Frankenstein's Monster eleven personnel with a rotating third receiver

382
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 6: constantly and then this thirteen personnel that you can't get

383
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 6: these tight ends. You can't maximize these like truly kind

384
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 6: of middle level tight ends in the past game without

385
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 6: a quarterback like Matthew Stafford. He makes everything go in

386
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 6: this offense. This offense is tricky. We all know this.

387
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 6: Even with a you know, boy genius play caller in

388
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 6: Sean McVay, I would argue that.

389
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: The kids, now, I don't know if it can call

390
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: a boy, I would argue.

391
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 6: I would argue that that Matthew Stafford has actually made

392
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 6: Sean McVay better. Oh yeah, in so many ways. And

393
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: I just he's the MVP to me.

394
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: Grown man genius.

395
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, I'm just saying, your kids now and he's hitting,

396
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: he's hitting forty soon. I think I don't know when

397
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: his birthday is, but I believe he's a nine years.

398
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 4: Mister Gundy always said, once you turned forward.

399
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm a man, you're a I think it's I think

400
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: it's May. But they're a strong one too. Talked about

401
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: it a lot. I saw one tweet which Cap captured

402
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: it in a funny way that I appreciated it, but

403
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: I pretty much agreed, which, like stats guys say, it's

404
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: May by a mile because because he's first in uh everything,

405
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: completion percentage, yards persent, he's he has like the biggot

406
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: for someone with that higher completion percentage. His yards pretent

407
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: are higher than anyone in NFL history success right completion

408
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: percentage over expected.

409
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: Uh you know, it's crazy like that.

410
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff is the highest since you've ever

411
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: measured and pass rating QBR all that. But to me,

412
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: it's like the running that kind of puts it over

413
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: the top. That's it's a pretty big deal to me.

414
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: So when it's when I think the passing is close, uh,

415
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: then that just gives him the edge. But yeah, the

416
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: tweet was like stat's guy have made by May May

417
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: mile film guys have May but just by a little bit.

418
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: But the TV analysts are like my dear friend Matthew

419
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: Award and that is why I think he's.

420
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 4: Gonna get Matt staff Yeah, I try to impression.

421
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: I love that one.

422
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think I think Drake May is gonna

423
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: win MVP.

424
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 6: But I don't because the people old none all season

425
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 6: for Matthew Stafford.

426
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: And that's what I got to do here. Consistency.

427
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 3: We love it.

428
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: I love it and he's a great choice too. You

429
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: could vote top five for for m v P. So

430
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: I have seen, like, I don't know, there's a lot

431
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: of TV people with with the awards now they changed

432
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: it up. Inside. I got some inside information this week.

433
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: What well, when I noticed so Kyle Brandt has an

434
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: award because he's been talking about it on Good Morning Football,

435
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I didn't think NFL media was

436
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: allowed to have the awards because that had been the

437
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: case in the past, and they changed that rule this year.

438
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: And there's a few that were in and your moment,

439
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: well it should be. I've had it on information that

440
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: my name was brought up as a possibility, but I.

441
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: Didn't get it. You know, I don't know who else.

442
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: There's a few others in NFL media that also have

443
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: it too, and great, great for them. I'm gonna I

444
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: think that's a wise guest.

445
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 4: Angry will you be if I get one before you?

446
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: No, that's I'm not going to be mad at the people.

447
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: It's not their fault. There are a few outside of

448
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: our company that I've noticed them that have it that

449
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: I am upset about. But Radar really, we really, we

450
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: really support the Associated press here. We We appreciate the

451
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: process because we're beginning our year long campaign to get

452
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: a vote for next season.

453
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: Vote get Greg a vote.

454
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 5: Because you know, we would have people we should have

455
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: the listeners write letters.

456
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know if your.

457
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 6: Pivotal piece in improving the voting as even minus a vote.

458
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: I've always wanted them to have more of the voting,

459
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: and so I would include some people I feel like

460
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: that don't get enough votes, and to my top five,

461
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: because you get top five for MVP. Would be Stafford's second.

462
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: I think I would vote Miles Garrett third, like why not,

463
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: just like no one's going like just do it, and

464
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: I would have Herbert fourth. And then it was between

465
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Max. It was not mac Jones or

466
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: rock Perty. It was his teammate, though I thought, for

467
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, the word valuable gets people caught up and

468
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: it is kind of nebulous. But because of that word valuable,

469
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to c MC. I think like they have

470
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: one of the very best offenses in the league, and

471
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: he carried it because he was there, So I would

472
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: go fifth for him. And that was delivering results presented

473
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: by Uber Eats. When football makes you hungry, get game

474
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: day deals on Uber Eats, the official on demand delivery

475
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: partner of the NFL order. Now I'm gonna try. We

476
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: got it, we got an off season to do it.

477
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do this.

478
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: Let's take a quick to genuinely deserve it.

479
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: Though great, it's not about deserve it's.

480
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 4: About you would honor the votes.

481
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: I would, and we would make a meal out of

482
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: it on this show too, for the end of it.

483
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying it'd be great.

484
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: It'd be great the end for the community, great, for

485
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: the content.

486
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: It'd be great. I'm watching every game every week. I

487
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: don't know if everyone has votes doing that. But let's

488
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: take a break and let's come back and we'll do

489
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: all the rest of the awards and get to those

490
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: holiday cards.

491
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: Great back on NFL Daily.

492
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: Enough about the conversation, although we will have Patrick Claybon

493
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: update the final standar for the MVB conversation on Wednesday's

494
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: preview show. It felt wrong. He's been working hard to

495
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: make him come into work just for just for that,

496
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: so he'll be here on Wednesday. But we can go

497
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: through the other awards. Defensive Player of the Year. Just

498
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, I went to check like the the

499
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: betting lines for this at some point. I think it

500
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: was last week, and that was like it was off

501
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: the board. You weren't really allowed to do it because

502
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: everyone just knows obvious Miles Garrett is going to win

503
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: the award, So I think we all probably would agree

504
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: with that. If there's anyone else that you would want to,

505
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, just put a name out there that you

506
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: put on your ballot. I could start, or you guys

507
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: could up to you.

508
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 6: It is Miles Garrett. If I were going to do

509
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 6: a ballot somewhere on there, I don't really have the

510
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 6: thought fully formulated on where Cooper dejen I think on

511
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 6: there somewhere has had an incredible, incredible season.

512
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's played so many different positions too. Big

513
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: Fangio has kind of used him all over the place.

514
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: Maybe a little Will Anderson Junior.

515
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: That's my number two.

516
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: So MVP you get to rank five, which I think

517
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: is cool because the reason I think it is especially

518
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: cool is you'll get to see on Pro Football Reference

519
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: Blank came in eighth for MVP that year, which actually

520
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: does tell you something about like the NFL that year

521
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: and how it's all ranked. You know, one, two, three, four, five.

522
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: I think that's cool. For all the other awards, it's

523
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: only three. And yeah, Will Anderson to me, actually was

524
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: my clear number two and uh just does everything for

525
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans and.

526
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 6: One of the most fun players to watch. We were

527
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 6: talking about how much Chris Westling would have loved watching

528
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 6: this emergence of Will Anderson Junior.

529
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: Just like a.

530
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 6: Joyful, violent football player, just incredible.

531
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 4: I love him so much, and.

532
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: I do like having the Texans represented somewhere. Yeah, and

533
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: he's obviously going to be the guy. Daniel Hunter a

534
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: lot of people noticing didn't.

535
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: Even make the Pro Bowl on this a little bit

536
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: further down.

537
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I did.

538
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 3: Would Ryan Burns be anywhere.

539
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: He could be? I think he might get in the mix.

540
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: I think he'll get some votes. I'm definitely a victim

541
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: of the recency bias here, but I started thinking about

542
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: it in that game the other night. Actually, I think

543
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: was a great case for Kyle Hamilton as number three.

544
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, because like that stat different.

545
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: Like and just all season long, it's just a bad defense,

546
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: Like it's a terrible defense if he's not on the field,

547
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: and he was a unique player. Part of the problem

548
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: is there's so many edg rushers that are all awesome

549
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: picks that I just didn't want it to be three

550
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: ed rushers, so I threw Kyle Hamilton is.

551
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 6: I would put Derek Brown on my list somewhere. He's

552
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 6: had the best season.

553
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: Honestly.

554
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 6: Jeffrey Simmons unfortunately is not gonna make crack a list

555
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 6: because of how bad that the Titans were, but especially

556
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 6: watching how well and how much he was dominating through

557
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 6: even deep into the season, where like lesser mortals sort

558
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 6: of just mailed it in at that point.

559
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: Incredible season.

560
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 6: Derek Brown has had among the best seasons of a

561
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 6: defensive tackle we've seen in a while, in my opinion,

562
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 6: just absolute disruptive force.

563
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: I think Simmons has a shot here to get a

564
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: decent amount of votes because actually the case for him

565
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: and had a touchdown. The case for him and Hamilton

566
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: was very similar to me that I realized going through

567
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: the All Pro those were the two positions where there

568
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: was the clearest difference between one and two, Like who's

569
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: the second best safety, who's the second best defensive tackle

570
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: this year? Like there's a reasonable debate, but like there's

571
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: no doubt who number one is and to me that

572
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: would be Hamilton and Jeffrey Simmons. A good shout out there.

573
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Year now sometimes like it's like

574
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: the second best quarterback. Sometimes this is where the skill

575
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: position player comes on. Every voter can choose how they

576
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: want to do it. Colleen, what did you go with?

577
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 5: I went with Jackson Smith and Jig Bow. He just

578
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 5: was so on it this entire year. Averaged over one

579
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 5: hundred yards per game. He was at least seventy yards

580
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 5: and sixteen of seventeen games this year. Dang, Like, this

581
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: is a guy who was the focal point of the

582
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 5: Seahawks offense and he still was able to time and

583
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 5: time again produce numbers and get open and I just

584
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 5: he was awesome to watch all year.

585
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have him as my number one new I

586
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 6: would probably I would probably put Pokinakua second game. And

587
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 6: I just think I think there's a couple aligneman maybe

588
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 6: who wow Offensive Player of the Year recognition.

589
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 4: I would like to kind of get the movement.

590
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: The move Well, that's the thing is if we can

591
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: get a vote in here, you know we're going to

592
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: try to be the change that you want to see

593
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: in the world. The famous Gandhi quote and not really

594
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: a Gandhi.

595
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 4: Quote Aaron Brewer, I think that.

596
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: That would be spicy.

597
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: I have Jon Robinson as my number one because to me,

598
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: it's just best player in the If there's a best

599
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: player in the League award, which should be the MVP,

600
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: Like he's a pretty good choice for And then I

601
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: have JSN and Puka same as you guys, as my

602
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: next two. But I think this is an award where

603
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: you should be willing to get creative. Heal, if you

604
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: want to vote Herbert here just for the fun of it,

605
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't mind seeing

606
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: some votes here.

607
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 5: Butjon first eight games, Jonathan Taylor, you could vote yeah

608
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 5: allon here honestly because of the run and pass difference

609
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: that he's made when the whenever the button is pressed.

610
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: I thought of punishing Puka for ruining the RAM season

611
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: when he went on the live stream, but the numbers

612
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: were kind of and just the eye test with Yeah,

613
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: it was kind of undeniable.

614
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 6: So that almost makes him a case for him. Like

615
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 6: when the vibes are bad, how bad the team looked,

616
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 6: it's like, yeah, as that effect and has that effect,

617
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 6: you're right, right.

618
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Don't do stupid stuff. And I like the idea of

619
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: sometimes splitting your votes in ways that are purposeful. So

620
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: I put CMC on the MVP ballot, but then Offensive

621
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: Player of the Year to me is just most outstandings.

622
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: So Bijon gets the Offensive Player of the Year, but

623
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: give CMC some MVP vote and split the baby that way,

624
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: all right?

625
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: Uh, I hate that you use that phrase.

626
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: It is not a good phrase.

627
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: I agree.

628
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: I clock it every time you use where are you with?

629
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 3: Throw the baby out with the bathwater? Same thing.

630
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: Listen, as long as the baby's intact.

631
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: Well it might not be. Let's go offensive Rookie of

632
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: the Year. I've already kind of made said my piece

633
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: on this one, which was Tetero McMillan, so I'm not

634
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: gonna repeat myself. I ended up getting I ended up

635
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: wanting the quarterbacks canceled each other out because I didn't

636
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: want to go Tyler shuck. But it's totally reasonable to

637
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: go Tyler shuck just because he didn't play long enough.

638
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: So then him and Dart sort of canceled each other out.

639
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: So then I went, Uh, I went hipster and went

640
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: armand Membu number two and Traveon Henderson. I went hipster

641
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: number three. This is what I mean. But like armand

642
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: Membu should get some Buka to get some votes.

643
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, he fell off at the end

644
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 6: of the season, but man, that the rookie, his peak

645
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 6: was so high.

646
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: I feel like the top eight guys and I would

647
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: throw Harold Fannin in along with Abuka. I'm not going

648
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: to have a problem with really any order. I don't

649
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: think mcci was my one.

650
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 6: Okay injured, but Quinchan Judkins, yeah, you know, Teed McMillan

651
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 6: was my one. I couldn't decide between Shuck and Dart

652
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 6: for the second what a what a phrase?

653
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so second occurred, Shuck and Dart's fun And you're right,

654
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: Abuka could easily, it could. I thought about going one

655
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: to McMillan Abuka, which would be fine. But in the end,

656
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: like I did, ask around a little bit about me,

657
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: boods up. If you think about it, I think he's

658
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: probably at his level for the position that he plays

659
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: that those guys are or more, and that's hard to find.

660
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: That's very valuable.

661
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: He played the entire season, no injuries all that, so

662
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of love for him defensive Rookie of

663
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: the Year. Why don't you go first, Jordan.

664
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 6: Defensive Rookie of the Year. I've got Carson Sqwestions your first,

665
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 6: but closely followed by.

666
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: Nick m and Wori.

667
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 6: I think that Nick Emmunwori kept turning into I call

668
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 6: the Seahawks defense personnel neutralizers. He's the number one personnel neutralizer.

669
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 6: He is so versatile. He can play this big nickel

670
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 6: buffalo nickel. He could be a hybrid safety. He is

671
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 6: a physical force. He's a really smart player to be

672
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 6: able to take on all of the things that Mike

673
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 6: McDonald has asked him to do. And he is a

674
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 6: key difference maker in that defense that really takes it

675
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 6: from an A plus defense to an A plus plus

676
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 6: nightmare of a defense because they can give you the

677
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 6: same look any personnel that you use. You don't know

678
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 6: how they're gonna play you. Because it's the same players

679
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 6: on the field every single time. They don't need a sub.

680
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: He was like, quite literally almost the missing piece for them,

681
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: like the like the final extra guy that Mike McDonald

682
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: had to add this offseason to get them to be

683
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: the best defense.

684
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 6: In Another extraordinary defense was the Cleveland Browns and Carson

685
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 6: Swestinger was the green dot. That's the most rookie inside

686
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 6: linebacker and like you know, broke tackle records like all

687
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 6: this stuff. He's incredible and took the ball away like

688
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 6: he had some injuries, but like incredible. I think he

689
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 6: is the defensive rookie of the year.

690
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

691
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 5: He impacted the game in so many different ways, whether

692
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: it was with sacks, with interceptions, with tackles, like he

693
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: was in every phase, just kind of all over the place.

694
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: But I feel like as a rookie to wear.

695
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 5: The green dot from the opening week that is so

696
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 5: impressive and to be able to like the game moves

697
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: so fast. And I talked to the players all the

698
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 5: time about this, even just like players that are working here.

699
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 5: So you have like Michael Robinson and Gerald McCoy and

700
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 5: they're talking about when they were rookies how quickly everything

701
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 5: was moving and how they were so awestruck by the

702
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: way that the veteran guys would know and make the

703
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 5: calls and be like, here, just do this, just trust me,

704
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 5: this is what's happening over here.

705
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: And he'd be like, I don't, I just did. How

706
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: did you see that? How did you know?

707
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 5: And for this rookie to be able to write off

708
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 5: the bat just impact the game like this.

709
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: His ceiling is so.

710
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: High, and you get a little extra credit if you're

711
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: a leader, which obviously you are if you have that

712
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: green dot for a great defense. So it's not like

713
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: he was doing it for a lackluster defense. He's doing

714
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: it for one of the best defense in the league.

715
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: So he's my choice too. We hit this on forties

716
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: and free agents. By the way, you might have noticed

717
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: in your feed, Daniel Jeremiah and I are back doing

718
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: weekly shows building up to free agency and the draft,

719
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: so it kind of combines the two. I'm excited about that.

720
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: I put Xavier Watson's as my third guy with Emon Worry.

721
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: James Pierce, though, is a very strong heat great one.

722
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: Dan DJ was kind of a fan, and he was

723
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: right to think that it might even be James Pierce's award.

724
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: I have a feeling of be Sweessnger Pierce or Sweasinger

725
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: even Worry Pierce in the final awards, but either way,

726
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: all good candidates. Colleen, your Coach of the Year.

727
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 5: So hard, This one's so hard, like because okay, I'll

728
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 5: just go I'm going to go through my.

729
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: List in order. You got to just make a decision,

730
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: all right or not you want to tack it out

731
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: and then make a decision. That's fine.

732
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 5: I'll give it to Mike Rabel. Okay, Mike Rabel is

733
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 5: the coach of the year. Like the turnaround that this

734
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 5: team saw and everyone thought it was a little fluky

735
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 5: at first. Yes, the strength of schedule maybe wasn't the

736
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: same as some of the other coaches that are on

737
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 5: my list, like Mike McDonald, Liam Cohen, even Kyle Shanahan,

738
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson.

739
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 3: All of these coaches did such a good job.

740
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 5: But I think that Mike Rabel this team, he elevated

741
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 5: them to There aren't many like headliner names on this roster,

742
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 5: and yeah, now they're becoming.

743
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: Headliner names and household names.

744
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 5: But I think that if he had some of the

745
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 5: stars that the other coaches had.

746
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: That maybe he wouldn't be my number one.

747
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 5: But because of that, because of his roster and the

748
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 5: success that they sustained and they were consistent throughout the

749
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 5: entire year, he's my guy.

750
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: Plus the mustache and the red wetter vest combo with

751
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: the old school pat patriot. Who else could actually pull

752
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: that off? Not many?

753
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, and even if he couldn't, you would not dare

754
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 6: say anything.

755
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: No, you wouldn't.

756
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: Everyone go check out there was There's a great social

757
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: clip of him talking trash to Stefan Diggs like during

758
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: the game about how Stefan Diggs never blocks, so that's why,

759
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: like you're not getting the ball or something and they're

760
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: giving it back and forth. Just you can kind of

761
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: see in this interaction him taking the piss out of

762
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs and him liking it, and everyone laughing and

763
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: going back and forth like that. This is why players

764
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: to play for him, which is the big deal. Your choice, He.

765
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 6: Is my number one choice, Rabel and everything Colleen said.

766
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 6: But then also people are easily forgetting. He had to

767
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 6: basically make up for multiple awful drafts and go in

768
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 6: and really put his stamp on the front office as well,

769
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 6: and he had to hire out a complete new coaching staff.

770
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 6: I think being bold enough to bring in Josh McDaniels,

771
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 6: who has a stellar reputation as a schemer and a

772
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 6: play caller, but also a reputation for being difficult to

773
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 6: work with, not that he's a mean guy, but just difficult,

774
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 6: and to bring in players coaches who also know their

775
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 6: stuff all around as like a sort of like bubble

776
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 6: around Josh McDaniels. I think was brilliant. I think it

777
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 6: was a brilliant move to coach the way that he did,

778
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 6: despite I believe it's his defensive coordinator who's going through

779
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 6: a cancer battle to galvanize the team the way that

780
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 6: he has. Listen, there are a lot of really well

781
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 6: deserving candidates for this. Mike McDonald was my second choice,

782
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 6: Ben Johnson, Kyle Shanahan, Liam Cohen.

783
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: We cannot forget crazy. All these are so good at

784
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 4: what they're doing.

785
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 6: There's there's we're seeing a golden and I know you

786
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 6: don't want to put too much do You never want

787
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 6: to put too much on coaching, But like I love coaching,

788
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 6: and like we're seeing a golden era of coaching in

789
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 6: football right now with some of these guys, and Mike

790
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 6: Rabel is at the very top.

791
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: To me, I've talked Coach of the Year a lot.

792
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: We did a whole show on it. So I don't

793
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: want to repeat myself. I'm going to stick with where

794
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: I was at, which was McDonald one, Kyle Shanahan two,

795
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: and Ben Johnson three. But it is crazy to have

796
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: a list that doesn't have Liam Cohen or and whatever reason.

797
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: I punished Rabel a little more for the strength of

798
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: schedule than I do Drake May, because I do think

799
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 1: the coaches were But it's it's silly you you mentioned

800
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: the talent because that goes for me too, Like if

801
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: May wins the MVP, for instance, he'll be the first

802
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: player of all time that wins the MVP without another

803
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: pro bowler on his team on his offense. But that

804
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of makes Rabel's case too, that he inherited a

805
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: team without a lot of top shelf talent, and he

806
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: does get a little extra credit I think for the

807
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: player acquisition stuff too, which he is a big parton

808
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: in which they absolutely nailed Final one. And this is

809
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: where we're getting to the out dorky one Assistant.

810
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year.

811
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 1: I'll lead here, Okay, So I don't think you're gonna

812
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: take mine, not that we can't have the same one.

813
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Broncos offensive line code Zack Streef. Yes,

814
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: why not?

815
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 4: I love that.

816
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: I love you.

817
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: Wait, what's the group that's like everyone kind of recognizes,

818
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're the best offense, They're the best offensive

819
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: line in the league and when you look at the

820
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: names on that group yet Garret Boules, but he's playing

821
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: better than he's ever played. He's like an All Pro. Now,

822
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: they're not super duper stars. It's it's definitely a Sean

823
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: Payton thing where he's had great offensive line. But I'm

824
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: gonna give it to an offensive I always like the

825
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: offensive line coade, so I'm gonna go streat first. I'll

826
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: go Flores second, and uh, I'm gonna go Anthony Kimpanel

827
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defensive coordinator third, because he's got like a

828
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: top eight defense, which if you just look at the talent,

829
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: you could definitely make the case that he could win

830
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: the award. You could make that case with a lot

831
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of great assistant coaches. But those

832
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: are the three that I went with.

833
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 5: I was between Brian Flores and Jeff Hafley for the too,

834
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 5: but ess.

835
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 4: Go on defense.

836
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 3: I know I love this for us, but I.

837
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 5: Liked I liked Brian Flores for this award just like

838
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 5: I mean the way that they attacked all year long

839
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 5: and everyone they what they led the league in interceptions,

840
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 5: Is that right?

841
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm trying to.

842
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 6: Believe, Well, noah, because I think the Jaguars did. Oh yeah, yeah,

843
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 6: but they're up there, and then pressure rate certainly led

844
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 6: the league. Yeah outside the Texans.

845
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so just no one else looked, No other

846
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: defense in the league looks like him, no preparing for

847
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: any other defense. He's so he's like an author, you

848
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he's an artist. He kind

849
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: of is. That. That's why I put him second, was

850
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: just kind of he gets extra credit for the fact that,

851
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: like there's no one else like him.

852
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

853
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 6: I love that he's totally and I love that he

854
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 6: stayed totally himself. Like he's clearly he's talked about the

855
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 6: lessons he's learned along the way, but in terms of

856
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 6: he throws what he knows in this scheme, and it

857
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 6: is incredible to watch. It's creative, it is, it's confusing,

858
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 6: it's it's a beautiful thing. I'm going to go for

859
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 6: my number one with Houston Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke

860
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 6: because Demiko Ryans turned the keys over to Matt Burke

861
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 6: pretty early on in the season. Matt Burke's been calling

862
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 6: the games for this Houston Texans defense, and I have

863
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 6: to tell you, first of all, he does an excellent,

864
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 6: excellent job. I think, along with Flores in Campanelli probably

865
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 6: gonna get some some head coaching interviews here down down

866
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 6: the stretch.

867
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 4: Just really fundamentally sound, tries.

868
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 6: To put every player in the best possible place to succeed,

869
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 6: and it's really not easy if your defensive minded had

870
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 6: coach is sort of checking your work every single call

871
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 6: and trust you enough to actually bring this defense to

872
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 6: life the way that it certainly has sustained down the

873
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 6: entire season. My second is Clint Kubiak has done an excellent,

874
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 6: excellent job with Sam Darnold with the Seahawks offense, especially

875
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 6: if they can run the ball that the way that

876
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 6: they have running a modern throwback of his dad's old offense,

877
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 6: which I love so much. It just speaks to some

878
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 6: of the football's poetry for me. Brian Flores is my

879
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 6: third I have. I know we can't get four, but

880
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 6: Campanelli would be my fourth.

881
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: That's fun.

882
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 5: By the way, I meant force fumbles, yeah, because they

883
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 5: have eighteen.

884
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 3: It's interceptions.

885
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 5: They only have eight, but the eight's kind of like.

886
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 3: Mixed me up there, so that's yeah.

887
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 4: For them all away like crazy.

888
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 6: It was a good point because they were attacking even

889
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 6: when the rest of the team was a lost cause,

890
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 6: and it was crazy to watch.

891
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: They also were the first team since the eighties to

892
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: go six straight games without surrending a passing touchdown at

893
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: one point. I think that streak ended by the end

894
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: of the season, but that that's just a wild speeed.

895
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: To go like a month and a half without giving

896
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown is crazy, all right, it was fun.

897
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: We did the award season. This will hopefully be the

898
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: last time that it's unofficial. We got to get that

899
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: official ballot, But we would do the show anyways. We would,

900
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: We would reveal the votes. It's time. This has all

901
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: been preamble. We've we've had a month plus to really

902
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: build up get ready. We asked the listeners of the

903
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: show to send in some holiday cards, and.

904
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: Guys, we have a lot, a whole stack of cards.

905
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: A different short of show would have opened them before

906
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 1: the show and like pick the best, but.

907
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: That's not us.

908
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 2: I love us being us.

909
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 5: So what what we'll do is just we'll put them

910
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 5: in the middle then and then we're all just going

911
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 5: to pick one from from this spunch.

912
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: We will open them all in the end this is crazy. Yes,

913
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: we got too many.

914
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 5: Okay, So this one comes from Jacqueline, Andrew, Elvira and

915
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 5: Mac Ready two cute dogs and Andrew's in a kilt.

916
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 3: Look at this love that I know dogs and miss

917
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, so cute. Okay.

918
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 5: So, dear Colleen, Greg and NFL Daily Family, thank you

919
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 5: for another year of laughs and football goodness. I've been

920
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 5: listening to the pod since twenty fourteen, which happens to

921
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 5: be the year I met the love of my life, Jacqueline.

922
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 5: In the years since I started working for Disney as

923
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 5: a ride engineer.

924
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 3: Does that make us coworkers now?

925
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: Question? Mark?

926
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 5: That's great, adopted a pair of pups and married my

927
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 5: best friend this past November. On eleven eleven, twenty twenty five,

928
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: Happy Holidays from a Chargers fan in Florida.

929
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: It is beenred sor right.

930
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna read one. This is care of Colleen Wolf.

931
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: You got to add the E on Wolf, but no, no, no,

932
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: hey here, we love the Simms family and I'm not

933
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: judging Donnie. So if you are the patriarch or the

934
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: mom of this family, but Donnie is probably a guy,

935
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: no hate because I write like a ten year old

936
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: or twelve year old too. But if this is one

937
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: of the kids of the Simms family, I really love

938
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: that because it does look like a childish handwriting, which

939
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,959
Speaker 1: I love. It's Donnie and he's the most die hard
