Let's cap the week with a 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: strong one. One hour from now. We have had a 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: very very strong year in the blazing five fifty eight 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: percent guys in the desert, and I'll be watching in 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: one hour. 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: Jmac. 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: It's inevitable when a young quarterback flourishes, Everybody's like, well, 16 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: is it the coach or is it the quarterback? We 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: always got to give everybody credit. We've got to figure 18 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: out who gets the credit. So that's all I'm hearing 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: this morning. Well it is it Mike Vrable or is 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: it Drake May? And this is an easy one, folks. 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: All you have to do is look at the Washington commanders. 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: Why are they so bad this year? Because Jayden Daniels 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: got hurt? Did Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury forget? How 24 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: to coach. No, Jayden Daniels is hurt. The team stinks 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: in college football at seventy thirty, coach matters more than quarterback. 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: He's head coach, GM and therapist in the NFL. 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: Flip it. 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: Look at Mike Tomlin when he had prime Big Ben 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: super Bowls, old Big Ben Playoffs, but couldn't be good 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: teams now yikes. So the colt Shane Steichen was he 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: a bum last year? No be upgraded at quarterback to 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones Andy Reid's entire career. He's very good coach 33 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: now he's a legend. Why he gets smarter Maholmes. If 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: you're looking at last night, eighty percent of the NFL 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: winning games comes down to your quarterback making five, six, 36 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: seven throws or decisions, high level execution that wins games. 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Mike Frable's not winning that game last night with Justin 38 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: Fields as his quarterback because it was a reasonably close game. 39 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: But Drake May made six or seven decisions and throws 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: that are incredibly high level. That kid is so good 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: on first down it's amazing. He had a jump pass, 42 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: couple sideline throws. That's the difference. I mean, Mike Vrabel 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: certainly elevates him. Mike Frabel made Ryan Tannehill a number 44 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: one seed. Remember that in Tennessee. Who did Frabel get 45 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: beat by that year in the playoffs at home as 46 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: a favorite, Zach Taylor. That's not who beat him. Joe 47 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Burrow beat him with a much worse roster. And Frabel 48 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: knows that. I mean, and Vrabel, like Belichick, understands that 49 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: a lot of times, just give it to the coordinator 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: in the quarterback. It's a little harder to do when 51 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: Drake May's young butt Belichick largely, Tom Brady and Josh 52 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: McDaniels ran the offense. They were on the phone constantly. 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: So Josh McDaniel's probably the best offensive coordinator in the 54 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: league last decade. I guarantee you he and Drake May 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: are running most of the offense. And that's not a knock, 56 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean, but I mean, you watch the Jets offense, 57 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: it looks like a service academy. They run on third 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: and eight. That's like Jurassic That's awful. But I watched 59 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: that game last night. There's another one of his throws 60 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: right there. He just made about six or seven big 61 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: plays in a reasonably close game. There's another one. You know, 62 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: back of the linebacker, in front of the safety. That's 63 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: what the kid does. And you know, again, I am 64 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: not saying that Reed doesn't deserve credit for Mahomes. In college, 65 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: Mark Few is gonzagabasketball. Nick Saban was Bama football. They recruit, 66 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: they develop, they're the therapist, they're the GM, they work 67 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: the cap, they do the international stuff. They make every decision. 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: That's not the way it works. Rabel doesn't want to 69 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: make every decision. He's trying to build a culture. You 70 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: see this thing he does when he's ever, he'd been 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: doing this for years. 72 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: That's culture building. 73 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: He is a player's coach and he wants to You 74 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: can't do everything. You can't do that coach the offense, 75 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: the defense, do the cap. That's what Belichick tried to do. 76 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: Old Belichick tried to do that. He took over personnel. 77 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: He was terrible at it. He was a great culture 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: builder and a great defensive coach. So Rabel's absolutely a 79 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: huge part of this. But in the NFL it's always 80 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: felt like to me, it's sixty five thirty five, seventy thirty. 81 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: You gotta have the guy that can execute at a 82 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: high level. Intellectually, physically, emotionally, and that is a potential 83 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: MVP Drake May. 84 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 4: Drake, how's it feel to get those MVP chants? 85 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 5: To just have people recognize the way you're playing right now? 86 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? 87 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 6: Maybe in a Travion tonight him he scored three touchdowns. 88 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 6: So no, I think it's your friends have you know, 89 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 6: been great with you know me says I got here, 90 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 6: so I got drafted, And I think just appreciate them 91 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 6: for you know, embracing me, just trying to embrace the 92 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 6: city and you'll give these fans in this team and 93 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 6: you know, just myself, just leave it all out there 94 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 6: and give them everything I got. 95 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing about Drake May. He's unbelievable on 96 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: first down. He completes seventy eight percent of his throws 97 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: on first down. Last night he was nine for eleven. 98 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: That is the highest completion percentage on first down since 99 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: they've tracked it. And that they're always ahead of the chains. 100 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: What did Belichick say about Brady? When they asked Belichick 101 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: about Brady his greatest thing, he didn't say his arm 102 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: or you know what he said. He didn't go backwards, 103 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: no pre staff penalties, didn't take a lot of sacks. 104 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: We always had second and five, second and four, second 105 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: and six. I mean justin fields. You don't know what 106 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: you get by second down. With Drake May, you're ahead 107 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: of the chains. That opens up the playbook for Josh McDaniels. 108 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: It opens up the playbook the culture for Mike Vrable. 109 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: So so much of what Drake May does is what 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: Brady does. 111 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 3: Now. 112 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Now he's a more athletic version of Brady, and he's 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: not right now pre snap as good as Brady. But 114 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: Brady was so good on first down you were never 115 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: playing behind the sticks. That's exactly what Drake May does. 116 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: It's a gift. He's great at it. 117 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 7: You know. 118 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: I said they were gonna double their win total from 119 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: last year. My bad, They're gonna triple it. Okay, so 120 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City's at Denver. They are a favorite, but they're 121 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: at Denver. And I made a bold proclamation before the year. 122 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: I said the dynasty's over. I did not say Kansas 123 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: City would fail to make the playoffs. I said they'll 124 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and they're gonna win another super Bowl. 125 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Mahomes may win another super Bowl, but 126 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: this going to the AFC Championship every year, going to 127 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl every year. That's done, and they'll be good. 128 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: There'll be a playoff team, but you're not going to 129 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: get four more trips to the super Bowl in five years. 130 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: And if they lose to Denver, they're five and five, okay, 131 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: and four games behind the Broncos. So only one team's 132 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: ever started five and five and won a Super Bowl. 133 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: The reason I made this proclamation was, Mahomes is really expensive, 134 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: Chris Jones and Kelsey are really old. It gets harder 135 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Andy Reid sixty seven. But mostly I said Jim Harbaum, 136 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: Sean Payton in division, you're not going to win this 137 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: thing going away. You're gonna have to get int as 138 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: a wildcard team. One of the great advantages Brady had 139 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: very early, I think in his career. Peyton Manning was 140 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: in the AFC East and they moved into the AFC South. 141 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, they re aligned the divisions. So Tom just 142 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: got buys and Tom got home playoff game. Tom struggled 143 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: to the very end when he had to go to 144 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: Denver and play in the snow, but Tom was in Foxboro. 145 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: Tom was at home. Tom was comfortable. Tom got an 146 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: extra week of prep he got the buy. Those days 147 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: are over for Kansas City. You're not getting that number 148 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: one seed anymore. Not with Peyton in the building. Say 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: what you want about bo Nicks. Not with Harbaugh Herbert 150 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: in the building. You're not getting that number one seat. 151 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: And so I've said this before. So much of Saban's 152 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: run was the incompetency of the rest of the SEC. 153 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: So much of Lebron's dominance in the NBA was the 154 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: incompetence of the NBA's Eastern Conference. It's very, very hard 155 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: once Kirby Smart Texas get into the SEC and Nick 156 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: Saban's like, get me out of here. Urban Meyer dominated 157 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: the SEC, then Nick Saban arrived, Right, It's hard to 158 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: be a dominant golfer skier team when you got an 159 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: all timer. 160 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: Breathe them down your neck. 161 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: And so Sean Payton and Jim Harbar arguably the second 162 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: and third best coach in the league, and Andy maybe 163 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: the first. It's just a natural progression. Mahomes is getting 164 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: older and he's a little more expensive, and then you 165 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: can't miss on his many draft picks, and every good 166 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: GM misses on draft picks. You can't miss on him 167 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: now because you don't have the ability to go buy players. 168 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: When your quarterback costs what Josh Allen does or or 169 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: Herbert does or a Mahomes does, you can't. So I 170 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: think the I think the game is it is not 171 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: in my blazing five. I said, you know, if it 172 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: was only minus three, I think I would take Kansas City. 173 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: It's three and a half. So it's a stay away 174 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: for me. And here's here's Patrick on facing the rival Broncos. 175 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 8: I think you understand this game is important. I think 176 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 8: that that's that's the biggest thing. I mean, it's a 177 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 8: divisional game, and they're always important, but with them having 178 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 8: the lead and this needing to go out there and 179 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 8: win to have a chance to win the division, I 180 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 8: think guys understand that if you lose this game, it's 181 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 8: gonna be with them having the tiebreaker and the would 182 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 8: that be like four games ahead of us, it'd be 183 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 8: it'd be tough to go back and get that one. 184 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 8: But all you can do is just handle this week 185 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 8: and that's why you can really worry about And we 186 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 8: still play a lot of great football teams. But like 187 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 8: I said, I feel like if we play our best, 188 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 8: we can beat anybody. 189 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: So I said, when I said the dynasty's over. The 190 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: reason I said that also is look at last year 191 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,479 Speaker 1: they were eleven to zero in one possession That was impressive. 192 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: But what wasn't They were in eleven one possession games. Oh, 193 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: that's because Jim Harbaugh arrived in the division and Sean 194 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: Payton was in year two and had his quarterback in division. 195 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: So I mean, the Raiders are non competitive, They're a mess. 196 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: But I said before, I'm not sure there's ever been 197 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: a division in football that has had a Jim Harball 198 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid and to Sean Payton. That's as good 199 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: as coaching gets. I mean the Rams, you think, yeah, 200 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: they should win their division every year. Well, Kyle Shannan's 201 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: in division and now Mike McDonald's in division, so it matters, 202 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: it really does. I think that's gonna be a great game. 203 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: I like Kansas City, but I don't love them for 204 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: the obvious reasons. Denver at home and Sean Payton in 205 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: spots like this is really good, really good. So Jmack 206 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: blazing five one hour from now the best game of 207 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: the year probably, and sometimes it doesn't work out that way. 208 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: But Seattle to La to take on the Rams, that 209 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: is one of my Blazing five picks. I like Seattle 210 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: in that game. I gotta tell you what's fascinating about 211 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: that game is is there an argument that Mike McDonald 212 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: is the defensive version of Sean McVay. I mean that 213 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: he's literally a culture changer six minutes in the building. 214 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 215 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: in noon eastern non am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio 216 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app. Fox Sports Radio is 217 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: taking over YouTube and you can be a part of it. 218 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: Just go to YouTube and search Fox Sports Radio, hit 219 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: that subscribe button and smash that notification bell and catch 220 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: all the videos from your favorite shows.

If you can 229 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: hire an offensive coach, do it. But Snyder would argue 230 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: he did find Sean McVay the defensive version in Mike McDonald. Handsome, fit, smart, intense, 231 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: a culture builder, pro player, but tough on players. That's 232 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: Sean McVay on defense. So remember that Washington coaching tree 233 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: when they had Lafleur, McVeigh, Shanahan, Mike McDonald. Well, Mike 234 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: McDonald he did the Harbaugh tree. He was with the 235 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: Ravens and John Harbaugh and then Jim Harbaugh needed a 236 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, called his brother and he went to Michigan 237 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,599 Speaker 1: and he crushed in both. So and it's really McVeigh. 238 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: Minute he walks in the door, he's got a presence. 239 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: That's what I've said about Mike Kafka with the Giants. 240 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: I hear he didn't have much of a presence. This 241 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: guy walks into a big chest, handsome, fit, smart, intense, 242 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: looks like an athlete. Players by endo him. And that's 243 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: the thing is McVeigh. Instantly the Rams offense with all 244 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: the jet sweeps, it just looked different Seattle. The minute 245 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald walk in, three things became very clear. Number one, 246 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: they were going to be a physical team running the football. 247 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Number two hyper aggressive. It's why he loves Sam Darnold 248 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: as the quarterback. Sam loves to let it fly down 249 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: the field. It's why he just made the GM just 250 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: made a rashid saheat deal from New Orleans. More deep balls, JSN, 251 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: more deep balls. 252 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: So. 253 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: And the third thing, it's very obvious is special teams 254 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: means a lot. Seattle special teams are excellent. So and 255 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: I always say this, Pete Carroll, old school left Seattle 256 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: and he was a defensive guy. Literally a month in 257 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: the defense was better with a new school guy defensive 258 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: head coach. So everybody wants the next McVeigh. They found 259 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: it just on the defensive side. And you can see 260 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: poor coaching Jets and really smart coaching. McVeigh takes over 261 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: the Rams. McDonald takes over Seattle. You can see it instantly, 262 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: mostly by identity. 263 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: What are you right now? New England? 264 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: Unbelievable on first down? Tough, better defense, don't make a 265 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: lot of mistakes. That's that Seattle. Greg Cosell talked about 266 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: it yesterday. They're hyper aggressive defense. How it stacks up with. 267 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 9: The Rams you're dealing with the two defenses that stunt 268 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 9: the most of any team in the league. They don't 269 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 9: necessarily blitz a high percentage, but they're very aggressive with 270 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 9: their multiple stunt concepts. And they've got a lot of 271 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 9: defensive linemen up front who are very good at that, 272 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 9: whether they're penetrators where they're loopers, and that's how they 273 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 9: generate pressure. And they're very aggressive. And I think an 274 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 9: overlooked player is the rookie for Seattle, nick I Minwari, 275 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 9: who's being used by Mike McDonald kind of the way 276 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 9: he used Kyle Hamilton in Baltimore. 277 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's back end of the front. Seattle is the 278 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: real deal. They've been a bit less efficient, a little 279 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: more reckless because they take a lot of shots down 280 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: the field. 281 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: You know, Pooka doesn't go down the. 282 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: Field deep that often JSN does, So Seattle takes a 283 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: few more shots down the field and they're gonna have 284 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: a few more turnovers. But you can see it, man, 285 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: you can see an identity. Minute he walked into Kirkland 286 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: and Seahawk camp. 287 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: J Mack with the news. Turn on the news. 288 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: This is the herd Line News. 289 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 5: All right, Colin, let's get started with the Eagles. And 290 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 5: the AJ Brown saga. I think we're calling it a 291 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 5: saga now, well we're advanced advancing the story because Sequon 292 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 5: Barkley has chimed in. He is backing his teammate embattled 293 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 5: wide receiver. 294 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: You never gonna play perfect game, and we know that. 295 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 10: Don't know the way we played on Monday, more times 296 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 10: than now we played game. 297 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 3: I think that's a lot of teams you're want to lose. 298 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 3: But that's why you have to have comment football. And 299 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: the defense came out played big. 300 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: For us, but we know we got to improved and 301 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 4: that's what I say. 302 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: So whether it's we score ten or whether we score forty, you. 303 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 10: Know AJ's not saying anything wrong. 304 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 5: We always looking from Rome to. 305 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: A three standalone game, big standalone game. 306 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: You better feed the ball to a J. Brown? 307 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 5: Oh stop it, what do you mean feed? You can 308 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: stick to your game plan. If he's going to be. 309 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 4: A petulant little child like, let him as. 310 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: Long as you're winning. I don't want to hear the junk, right, 311 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 5: wouldn't you agree with that? 312 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: I agree it was a joke. 313 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: I think the worst thing you can do is a 314 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: peace and force the ball like they did at the end. 315 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: Of the game against Green Bay, do your thing? Players unhappy? 316 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: Who says everybody in the locker room is gonna love 317 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: the coach. 318 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: It's not the way to. So there's always somebody unhappy 319 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 3: in pro spour. 320 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 5: And you look at the Detroit secondary. I know Branch 321 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 5: is pretty good on the back end, but their corners 322 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 5: are not great. 323 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: This could be a nice AJ Brown game. 324 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: Doesn't look like weather's going to be a factor in 325 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 5: Philly Colin for this one. I like the Eagles here 326 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 5: favored by two and a half or are you going Lions? 327 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 10: No. 328 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: I think Philly's the play. I think Green Bay's defense 329 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: is pretty good, and I think it's hard to play Lambeau. 330 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: You know that was a tough night for both offenses. 331 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: I think they'll get unleashed here. And also there's some 332 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: key injuries to Detroit Fine sewell Sam Laporta. Did they practice? 333 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: Will they play? So the offense may not have the 334 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: same zip. And it's also cold weather. You look at 335 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: the weather when it gets under fifty degrees, when it 336 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: gets cold. Jared Goff, he's okay as a road quarterback. 337 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: He's not a very good cold quarterback. 338 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, let's move to the Buffalo Bills. 339 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 5: They had a you know, let's just say, not a 340 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: great effort against the Miami Dolphins. It happens sometimes, Colin, 341 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 5: you know, the great teams don't show up. They scored 342 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 5: just thirteen points and did not have one hundred yards rushing. 343 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 5: So that prompted the media to ask Sean McDermott whether 344 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 5: Buffalo is still finding its offensive identity. 345 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 4: Silly question. Here's what he had to say. 346 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 11: Finding ourselves a little bit again. The mention of different 347 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 11: wide receivers in there and this and that, and some 348 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 11: guys out due injuries, some not, and it's it's and 349 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 11: that's that's it's not what you want, but it's okay. 350 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 11: We just we got to continue to find our best combinations, 351 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 11: if that makes sense, Mike, right with who gives us 352 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 11: the best chance to win? And you know where can 353 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 11: we find the rhythm in the passing game? 354 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: Man? 355 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: A good luck. I I like Buffalo. 356 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: I think if there was one game that could start 357 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: a bit of an inferno this weekend, it would be 358 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: Tampa going up to Buffalo and winning. 359 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: Well. 360 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: Our Monday lead would be Sean McDermott, can he coach Buffalo? 361 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: That's the one game on the board. I mean, if 362 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Detroit beat Philly, it's not the end of the world. 363 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: If the Seahawks upset the Rams, if Kansas that he 364 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: beat Denver, I mean, most of this stuff. But Buffalo 365 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: comes home now. They went from one hundred degrees in 366 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: the humidity. Now they're back to their kind of weather 367 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: and they play a warm weather team up north. Advantage Buffalo. 368 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: But if they lost, that's your lead. On Monday at 369 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo can't get right on track. 370 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 5: If the Chief slews, that might be a bigger story. 371 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 5: But that being said, Colin, I gotta ask you, like 372 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 5: this does feel like I must win. The weather looks 373 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 5: like it's going to be very bad, which should give 374 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 5: Buffalo an edge Tampa's beat up. Can I ask you 375 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 5: about Dalton kin Kate. You know when Buffalo they're starting 376 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 5: to call him Dalton first Aid because he's always hurt. 377 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 5: The guy can't stay healthy. 378 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 4: And when he's off. 379 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 5: The field, the offense it's not as dynamic because they 380 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 5: don't have that middle of the field. 381 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: He's there. He's their best tight end. He can he 382 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: can block, he can catch. I mean, he's there. 383 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 5: Frankly, I think he's a better weapon than any receiver 384 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 5: they have. I take him over at Keon Coleman as 385 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 5: a factor. 386 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: He was a first round tight end for a reason. 387 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: He came out of Utah. He was a good blocker 388 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: right out of college, which most tight ends aren't. 389 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, So the Bills, this is kind of a tell here. 390 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 5: They signed me, cole Hartman and Gabe Davis to the 391 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 5: practice squad. Okay, that usually means something's going on with 392 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 5: the wide receiver room. Do love the vibes in Buffalo, 393 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 5: but I am on them in this one final story, Colin, 394 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 5: you know, we have to talk about Caleb Williams every 395 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 5: day now. He's your guy, your new man in Chicago. 396 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 5: Caleb Williams in Chicago six and three. Things are absolutely rolling. Hey, 397 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 5: how about this. Caleb's sack numbers, which are ghastly a 398 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 5: year ago, have dropped from thirty eight through ten games 399 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 5: last season to just fourteen. Here's Caleb addressing those lower sacks. 400 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: Huge. 401 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,239 Speaker 7: Partly, you know, the part of it is is the 402 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 7: guys I got up front, they've been They've been awesome 403 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 7: for me and for us, and so you know, kudos 404 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 7: to them and love those guys up front. And then 405 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 7: the other half of it is. You know, I think 406 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 7: I think coaches emphasis on me getting the ball out 407 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 7: and then you know when it's you know when it's 408 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 7: time to go make a play, make the plays, and 409 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 7: you know it's time to throw it away, throw it away. 410 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 7: And so I think just doing a better job with 411 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 7: that overall this year, and I got to keep getting 412 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 7: better with that and try and lower the sacks. 413 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: By the way. 414 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: First thing Sean Payton did in Denver fix the old 415 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: line for you know McVeigh. First move in La get 416 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Andrew Whitworth left tackle. What's the first thing Ben Johnson did. 417 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: He went to Ryan Poles and said, get me an 418 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: elite center and Joe Tooney and Jonah Jackson. First thing 419 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: offensive coaches, head coaches do when they take over place, 420 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: fix the O line. That that's where all of it starts. 421 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: Joe Tooney, Drew Dolman, Jonah Jackson. That is an elite trio. 422 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: Sean Payton did the same thing. He took Denver's messy 423 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: O line to like eleventh and the seventh this year. 424 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: I think they're one or two. 425 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: So they got the right coach and he puts the 426 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: priority on the right stuff. And we said before the year, 427 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: I didn't care about wins. You got to cut the 428 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: sacks by fifty percent. That was number one, and they've 429 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 1: done it by seventy percent. 430 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 5: You know again, I think we touched on this this week. 431 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 5: This this idea, when you got the quarterback on the 432 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 5: rookie deal, you can spend anywhere. They chose to spend 433 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 5: on the offensive line, which was great because Ben Johnson's 434 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 5: DNA is running the football and Colin it's working out great. 435 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 5: I don't I kind of want of vikings here. Huh 436 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 5: are the Bears getting three? Caleb listen, you know Flores 437 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 5: is going to dial up some pressure and he kind 438 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 5: of flustered Lamar and Jackson. Lamar was not great last week. 439 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 5: We saw what he did a couple of weeks ago. 440 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 5: To Jared Goff, I think they had something like seventeen quarterback. 441 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: The problem with Minnesota right now is Brian Flores can 442 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: do everything he wants. When you're three and out, when 443 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: you don't extend drives, you keep giving teams like Baltimore 444 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: better field position, better field bit. After about eight to 445 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: nine drives, you cash in at least get field goals. 446 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: Chicago should win the field position game because they'll move 447 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: the ball enough to win that battle. So Caleb's going 448 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: to start on average with better field position over his 449 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: twelve drives than JJ McCarthy. 450 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 4: How about this. 451 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 5: If JJ McCarthy goes two and OHO against Caleb Williams 452 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 5: this week, we have to put a cap on Caleb Williams' 453 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 5: stories next week. 454 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: Never Jmack with the news, Well that's the news, and 455 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by the. 456 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: Herd Line News. 457 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Well, whenever it's college or pro. And this is why 458 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: I've always defended Lincoln Riley. I always say, with a 459 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: new coach, does he at least get his side of 460 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: the ball right? USC's offense since Lincoln arrived top two 461 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: or three in the country. Aaron Glenn got hired by 462 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: the Jets as a defensive guy. 463 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 3: Dude, Robert Saul. 464 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: His last three years in New York, top five defenses 465 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: all three years, Aaron Glenn has destroyed, has newked the 466 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: Jets defense. It's now terrible. Forget the fact he can't 467 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: handle press conference, this basic press conference. It was fighting 468 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: with me. Forget the fact the offense looks like a 469 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: service academy. I mean, it's just it's embarrassing. Their defense 470 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks against the Jets this year have eighteen touchdowns 471 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: and no picks. They have one takeaway all season. Second 472 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: worst in the league is six. I mean, it's like 473 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: the guy took over McDonald's and he can't even get 474 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: the French fries right. Didn't ask for new menu items. 475 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: I didn't ask for the milkshake machine to work at McDonald's. 476 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: It never does. Just just keep the fries great. We 477 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: didn't ask him to do a lot. Just keep the 478 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: defense good. Duch defense has no identity. It's bad. They 479 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: don't take the ball away, the pressure's inconsistent. I'm not 480 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: going to beat up on it for the media stuff 481 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: which is embarrassing or the offense that's not his side 482 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: of the ball. But you got to get the defense right. 483 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: You gotta know what you're doing defensively. So and you 484 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: can say what you want about Robert Sala and I 485 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: admit I think Salah should get another head coaching job, 486 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: but SLA's defenses. 487 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 3: Were really good. 488 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: Well, they traded Sauce Gardner and Quintin Williams recently, so 489 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not asking for new items on the 490 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: menu here. Just keep the stuff that was good, good 491 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: that's all I'm asking. So and people say, well, Colin, 492 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: you said this year one with Dan Campbell in Detroit. 493 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 3: No I didn't. No, I did not. 494 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: I said Year one, when they were losing six to 495 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: one possession game about Dan Campbell, I said, I hate 496 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: his press conferences, but god, this team plays hard. They 497 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: were crazy aggressive, crazy aggressive going forward on fourth down. 498 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: He created an identity. The Lions were playing their butt off. 499 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: They just had a terrible defense that was pre Aiden Hutchison. 500 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: You gotta show me something he can't do it defensively. 501 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: So and then he's got you know here, remember before 502 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: the season when and I'm you know, I know Aaron 503 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: Rodgers can be a little difficult. 504 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 3: I'm not denying that. 505 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: But there was a moment, there was a tell Aaron 506 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Rodgers got in his private jet, flew all the way 507 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: cross country because he still wanted to play football and 508 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: he wanted to be in New York jet and do 509 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: you remember what happened. I'll read you the story. He goes, 510 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: it was really strange. I thought we're gonna have this 511 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: long conversation. I flew across the country. Twenty seconds in 512 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: Aaron Lean's in the edge of his seat and says, 513 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: say you want to play football, and I'm like, yeah, 514 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm interested. And he was like, yeah, we're going in 515 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: a different direction to quarterback. 516 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 3: He goes. 517 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: I was shocked, not shocked because I didn't think it 518 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: was a possibility. 519 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: Shot because I just flew across the country. You could 520 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 3: have told me over the phone. 521 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: And when I heard that and I text a few 522 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: executives in the league, they were like, yeah, that's not great. 523 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: You don't want to treat players like that. Word's gonna 524 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: get out just I mean, listen, you gotta treat employees well. 525 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: Professional football players, young or old, they're employees. You want 526 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: to treat them well. If you're the manager, if you're 527 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: the coach, if you're the CEO. So I thought that 528 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: was weird and he can't deal with the media. But 529 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm not going to beat them up for that or 530 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: the offense, which are in nept but the defense is horrible. 531 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: It's got no identity. I was texting with an executive 532 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: last night. I'm like watching, so if we can get 533 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: rid of quarterbacks, if we can one and done quarterbacks, 534 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: can you not do it with a coach? I mean, 535 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: I remember Freddy Kitchens. I was like, Baker doesn't respect him. 536 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: The body language is weird. Freddy Kitchens is not an 537 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: NFL head coach. Remember that in Cleveland. I'm like, yeah, 538 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't work. That's not gonna work. Mike McDaniel at 539 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: least showed signs offensively, and Mike McDaniel's on the hot seat. 540 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: But Mike McDaniels in the first couple of years with 541 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: all that motion, we were like, man, that's a sophisticated offense. 542 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: He may not make it, but you saw things with 543 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel like, Okay, that does work. 544 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: That is smart. 545 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: So I'm not I don't like people going cross country 546 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: getting a new job, but opposing quarterbacks this year have 547 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: eighteen touchdowns, no picks and have a passer rating at 548 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: one oh four. And I remember years ago and I've 549 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: defended Kyler Murray to the end. I have been a 550 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray guy to the point where I get made 551 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: fun of on this show. But there are these little 552 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: tells during job interviews. 553 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 3: My wife used to. 554 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: Be in HR and she'd say, you know, people would 555 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: say things and job interviews and you're like, yes, I 556 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: believe somebody said that in the job interview. You do 557 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: see glimpses on dates. They say men need eight seconds, 558 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: women need eight minutes to decide yes, I'll get intimate 559 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: with that person, right like. Stuff happens very quickly. I 560 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: always said it's American idol. I don't know music. I 561 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: can listen for fifteen seconds and go, that's a hack, 562 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: that's a star, that's a good lounge singer. It's not 563 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: that difficult. And I always said I've been a Kyler 564 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: Murray fan. But remember that interview before he played in 565 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: the NFL with Dan Patrick. Remember that, I'll play it. 566 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: I'll play a little bit. Remember this interview, Are you 567 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: going to the combine? 568 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 3: Uh? Well, Dad? 569 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 12: Is he going to the combine? Dad had no comment there? Late, 570 00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 12: are you going to spring training? Wait, you don't know, Dad? 571 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 12: Is he going to spring training? 572 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: Another no comment here? Okay, so that's weird. You're the 573 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: most verbal position in sports. Quarterback is just odd. Well, 574 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: from that to here, there have been questions about his commitment. 575 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: Is he like baseball? Mor does he put the time in? 576 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's a bad human being, but it was 577 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: a tell. 578 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 3: It's like that. That's weird. 579 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: That's a quarterback. I'm all for quirky not at quarterback. 580 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 1: So the Aaron Glenn, the fighting stuff, the Aaron Rodgers 581 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: stuff is like. 582 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know many. 583 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: But more than anything, Okay, let's just go look at 584 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: the defense. I'm not gonna blame him for media. I'm 585 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: not gonna blame him for arguing with New York Post reporters. 586 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to crush him on the offense. Let's 587 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: just go look at his defense. Awful, there's nothing to it. 588 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: That's why I defend the Lincoln Rileys. USC's offense been unbelievable, 589 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: number one in the nation like three times in four 590 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: or five years. I don't know if he coul build 591 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: a culture, but he knows offense. I mean the Mike 592 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: McDonald for the Seahawks first year took the twenty eighth 593 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: defense to eleventh. I'm like, that guy knows defense. I 594 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be a head coach. 595 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: Now in year two, you're like, yeah, the defense even better. 596 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: So I got to judge on your expertise because I 597 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: know building culture is hard. I know the other side 598 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: of the ball is hard. I know the media can 599 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: be obnoxious in big cities. That defense there's nothing to it. 600 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 5: Well, Colin, it's hard to be a good defense when 601 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 5: your offense can't move the football. I mean one hundred 602 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 5: and twenty one passing yards this week. I think they 603 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 5: had fifty four last week. Well, there's so much pressure 604 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 5: on the defense. But I'll say this. Listen, last year 605 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 5: with the Patriots, Gerrod Mao was a dumpster fire. 606 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 3: We both saw that. 607 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 5: It was obvious. However, they had a man. Oh, we 608 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 5: want Rabel. We're going all into Rabel. 609 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 4: We got him. 610 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 5: I understood that if you want to go one in 611 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 5: Glenn with one and done with Glenn, that's fine. Comm 612 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 5: But I need a name. I need a McCarthy. 613 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: Mike mccarthyl twelve and five, twelve and five, three years 614 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: in Rowan, Dallas. 615 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 4: I'm aware. I like him. 616 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 5: You want to pair him with Mendoza, fine, I'll get 617 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 5: on board with that. But I don't know that McCarthy's 618 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 5: gonna want to go to the Jets. Remember he left 619 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 5: the twelve win Cowboys team because the owner was nutty. 620 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 5: So is he gonna want to get back in What 621 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 5: do they say, out of into the good you're a 622 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 5: Jets fan? 623 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 624 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: I am, isn't it legitimate that at least get the 625 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: defense right. 626 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 5: Well, it's a little harder, you know, it's a little 627 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 5: harder last night when you trade away Quinn Williams and 628 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 5: Sauce car. 629 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 3: But it was bad before. 630 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 4: But it was bad before. They have a solid against 631 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 4: the Browns. 632 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: They've had one takeaway all season. Yeah, I know that 633 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: the whole season. The second fewest in the league is six. 634 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 635 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 5: They did do a good job against Drake. Not Drake 636 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 5: nam Bo, Nick's your guy. They bottled him up and everybody. 637 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 5: Everybody's done a good job against Bonets, everybody. We got 638 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 5: some players, but it's a work in progress. You know, 639 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 5: it's a rebuild. I'm rooting for Glenn, but I would agree. 640 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: Prime example, Eveland has Dylan Gabriel. Dylan Gabriel has not 641 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: done a pick in a couple of games and has 642 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: had multiple touchdowns in the last couple of games. We 643 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: don't think Dylan Gabriel's great, but clearly Stefanski has taken 644 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel and every week Dylan Gabriel looks better. 645 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 3: He's limited. 646 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Dylan Gabriel's Drake May, but you can 647 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: see Dylan Gabriel today and Dylan Gabriel five weeks ago, 648 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: four weeks ago. He's getting better. You got to make 649 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: stuff better on your side of the ball. 650 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, not a lot of progress on the defense. 651 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 652 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: in noon Eastern, not a em Pacific. 653 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 5: Start your Saturday strong as Michigan clashes with Northwestern at 654 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 5: a special venue, historic Wrigley Field. 655 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 4: It all starts with Big noon. 656 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 5: Kickoff at ten am Eastern, live from the heart of Chicago. 657 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 5: Colin Coward is rumored to make an appearance. Then it's 658 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 5: Michigan Northwestern Big Noon Saturday only on Fox. 659 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: So we talked about this yesterday and now it came 660 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: out in the Athletic today, multiple executives saying, I don't 661 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: like any of these quarterbacks in college. Now. The problem is, 662 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: as far as I can count, there are nine teams 663 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: that probably need to draft a quarterback. There's five where 664 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: it's not arguable draft a quarterback with your first pick. 665 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: You mostly know you know those five teams they should 666 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: draft a quarterback. Cleveland, the Jets, the Raiders, the Saints, 667 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: the Steelers draft a quarterback first pick. There's four others 668 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: that need to strongly consider drafting a quarterback, maybe not 669 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: their first pick, but somewhere close Arizona, Miami, LA, and Minnesota. 670 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 3: That's nine. Well, I'm reading this story this morning. 671 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: Executives in the NFL saying, I don't love any of 672 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks right now. The other one said, nobody's playing 673 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: the position well enough to take over my franchise. Now, 674 00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: I do believe Mendoza, Fernando Mendoza last weekend separated himself 675 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: from all the other quarterbacks. I like Dante Moore, but 676 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 1: he's twenty. Most believe he's gonna come back. I like 677 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: Leonora Sellars, the kid at South Carolina raw again. He's 678 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one years old, not playing that great. He's 679 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: been dinged up. Those are the other two guys. I 680 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: like Dante Moore and Lenora's Sellers. I think Mendoza separated 681 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: himself six', five big. Arm they say he's a great, 682 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: leader really really driven to be. GREAT i think when 683 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: he went To oregon and lit up The, ducks you, 684 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: KNOW i think he's. Separated the winner in this, though 685 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: The San francisco forty nine. Ers so It brock pretty yets. 686 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: Hurt that's bad, news, right but it did give them 687 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: an opportunity to show the world that Mac jones can. 688 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: Play ma's been excellent this year without Having Ricky pearsol 689 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: Or Brandon, Auk he's been. 690 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 3: Excellent so think about. 691 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: This The niners are, old and they're, expensive and they're. 692 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 3: Brittle they need to get. 693 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: Young nine teams need to draft a, quarterback And mendoza 694 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: is not only Separating dante Morn sellers may not come. 695 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: Out so then you're looking at Maybe Ty simpson At, obama, 696 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: like don't love arms O ka not hyper. Athletic It's 697 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: bama their. Quarterbacks you, know a live a different life 698 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: collegiately than a real life in pro. Football SO i 699 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,959 Speaker 1: think The niners have massive. Leverage they could hold out 700 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: for a second or a third round. Pick and you 701 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: think it's, nutty but look go look at those nine. 702 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: Teams you got coaches that don't want to lose their. 703 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: Job Mac jones may not be the Prospect mendoza, is 704 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: BUT i would take him for the next two years 705 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: over the other. Guys AND i mean like The, jets The, 706 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: browns The, raiders The, saints The. 707 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 3: Steelers they don't have a. 708 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: Choice they got to take a quarterback with their first 709 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: or second, pick AND i think The Rams Vikings dolphins 710 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: In arizona should as. Well Here's Albert breuer on the 711 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: upcoming quarterback class and decisions that will be. 712 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 10: Made there are some teams that are already looking at 713 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 10: the idea, of, like you, know what we do in 714 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 10: the off season and could there be Another Sam, Darnold Baker, 715 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 10: Mayfield Daniel, Jones Gino smith type of story out there 716 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 10: to go and seize it pond especially like you, said 717 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 10: with the draft class maybe not looking like what people 718 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 10: had hoped it would be coming into the. Year you, 719 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 10: know Nuss meyer get gets pinched in the middle of 720 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 10: The alabama. Game Drew aller is, hurt, right Like Lenora 721 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 10: sellers maybe going back to. School Fernando mendoza looks like 722 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 10: he's going to go high, up but he may be 723 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 10: the only first rounder at this. Point you, know we 724 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 10: have to let those things play. Out but right, now 725 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 10: it does look like there's going to be more teams 726 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 10: needing quarterbacks that are going to be. 727 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: Available, yeah and that's, big big leverage For San. Francisco 728 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: AND i mean you look at the current draft, Order 729 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: tennessee doesn't need. One somebody's gonna move to that number one. 730 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: Spot tennessee is going to be able to get a 731 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: smorgasborga picks because somebody's moving up to the number one. 732 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: Spot saint to two need, One jets three need, One 733 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: giants four. Don't browns, Do raiders? Do dolphins have a offensive. 734 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 3: Line, needs pass rusher. 735 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: NEEDS i can see The dolphins drafting a quarterback with 736 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: their second or third, pick getting A Leonoris sellars if 737 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: he came out in the second. 738 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 3: ROUND i could get. That commanders don't need. 739 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: One bengals, don't but they should probably draft, one, fourth, 740 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: fifth sixth round burrows healthy. Concern rams don't need one. 741 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: Immediately they have two first round. Picks my take on 742 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: The rams is they're gonna get either a corner or 743 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: a offensive tackle with their first. Pick they'll take A, 744 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: seller's you, know a raw kid that's not, ready quite 745 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: ready to play late in the first, round but. 746 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 3: There's some no doubt about. 747 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: It. TEAMS i don't remember the last year where it 748 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: looks like seven of the ten teams in the top 749 00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: ten could all take a. Quarterback and it looks Like 750 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: Dante more a, lot but he is twenty and that 751 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: was The Sam darnold issue when he came, Out sam 752 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: was twenty. 753 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 3: One he was too. Young twenty is really young to 754 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 3: go into the. 755 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 4: Pros so we both Like, mendoza, Right we like what 756 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 4: we see. 757 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 5: THAT i don't know that he's a generational got a 758 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 5: trade up to get him kind of. 759 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 4: Quarterback we'll see during the, process BUT i don't know 760 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 4: that that's the. 761 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 5: Case Con, so who's offering The titans a boatload of 762 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 5: picks to go up For.
