15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. We talked about it last night,

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: and I wonder how much this dealers listen to the show.

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: So Mike Tomlin resigns. We are a big deal in Pittsburgh.

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: We're kind of a big deal.

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: Well kind of a big deal up and down that corridor,

20
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: no question about it.

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: Look the big NFL news of the day. Mike Tomlin,

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: after nineteen years resigns as head coach of the Steelers,

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: and every single NFL analyst was very sure to say,

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: this is him resigning. He didn't get fired, as so

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: many want to make sure you know, he didn't get fired,

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: not misappropriated. He's resigning. Okay, he's resigning, resigning, residning, resigning

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: his fam consciously uncoupling. Uh, well, yeah, that was a

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: very conscious uncoupling. This is like when I take the

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: thing out of the train, like in the in the

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: TV show where it's like the bomb could go off

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: on the train. What do we have to do? Well,

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: you have to let the end of the train go

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: and save the other people. So the guy goes out

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: and the train just kind of goes down. We gotta

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: go fifty five miles an hour the whole time. We

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: gotta do that. We didn't they do the consciousuncupling.

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: It.

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: That was a really good the That was a great movie.

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: The Denzel Unstoppable with Chris Pine was good one. I

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: think it was in Pittsburgh. I want to say it

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: was in Pittsburgh. Denzel is a longtime train motorman operator,

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Chris Pine is new They work together and a train

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: gets out of control. Uh, and they both have to

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: work to stop it. They're on the train, they have

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: to stop it because they can't. It's a really really

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: good movie. Yeah.

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: It was Towns in Pennsylvania, filmed across West Virginia, New York, Ohio,

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: and Pennsylvania using the real railroads.

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Very under Probably one of my top five, well maybe

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: top three Denzel movies. I mean, that's how good it was.

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: That's how good it was. I'll go Training Day Glory

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: and I'll go that. Yeah. Chris Pine star Trek into

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the Woods. Ye, well, he actually plays Captain Kirk in

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: the movie. Yes, he gets beamed down to the train,

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: sees there's a problem, but they can't beam him back up.

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: But they send down a couple of you know, the

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Chris Rock. They send down Yeoman Johnson and a couple

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: of other people and they wind up dying right away. Right,

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: that's where it goes the Red Shirt. You're gonna die,

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: guys in the Red Shirts, Yeah, you're gonna die. Uh So.

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has resigned as head coach of the Steelers. Look,

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: we talked about this last night that what do we

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: say the future was gonna be firm? Right after the

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Steelers lost last night. It was I guarantee you this

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: is how the offseason is gonna go. They're gonna sit

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: down with each other and the Steelers are going because look,

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers needing to understand if they replace Mike Tomlin,

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: who clearly has hit his expiration date with the Steelers,

69
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: they were going to have to understand that the guy

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna go out there and get is gonna be better,

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: potentially could be better. Not a lot of guys are

72
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: gonna be better because Tomlin's still for his faultse the

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: last ten years. You know, still you win the division

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: almost every year, you go to the playoffs, you play

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game. That's how it works. So it was

76
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a sit down, like, hey, if you come back,

77
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: you have to understand that we need a modern offense.

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: We got to treat the NFL twenty twenty six like

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: its twenty twenty six. We can't run the offense like

80
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: it's nineteen eighty seven. And look, I love nineteen eighty seven.

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Guns n' Roses came out with that petit for instruction.

82
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: The METSA just won the World Series. I mean, eighty

83
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: seven was a great year. I was watching Tony Katain

84
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: dancing on White Snake's card like seventeen different videos. I

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: mean eighty seven, I love eighty seven. Eighty seven was awesome.

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: But this is how Mike Tomlin likes to run his offense,

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: so that the conversation would be, if you're up, you

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: gotta be up for a franchise quarterback, a different way

89
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: of doing things instead of, hey, the quarterback is a

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: necessary evil, and we're gonna load up on defense. We're

91
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna run the football as much as we have to.

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: We'll throw the football and we have to. We win

93
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: clutch games. That's how Mike Tomlin wants to win. If

94
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: you are on board with the big changes, great, If not,

95
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: maybe we consciously uncouple. And it happened really fast that

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: Mike Tomin resigned as head coach. And honestly, as much

97
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: as this is a breakup where hey, it's nobody's fault,

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: it's nineteen years and both sides need to move in

99
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: different directions, this is way better for the Steelers because

100
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers value success differently than any other team. Right,

101
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I'd be more than happy to have my team be

102
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: some and that wins nine to ten games a year.

103
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Sneaks into the playoffs, loses a playoff game. I'd love

104
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: the Jets that. I haven't a playoff game in fifteen years, right,

105
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'd love that. But the Steelers it's different.

106
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: And the Steelers you can't keep running your team like this.

107
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: You need fresh ideas to come in and run, especially

108
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: offensively like it's twenty twenty six. You need a franchise

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: quarterback that can throw the football all over the field.

110
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: You need to be bold and free agency. You can't

111
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: just say well, we'll go get DK Metcalf where e

112
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: If DK Metcalf was still great, the Seahawks would have

113
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: kept him. I mean they would They didn't have to

114
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: trade him. They didn't have to trade they could have

115
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: kept him. You have a couple of Jags at running back.

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren is okay and Friarmuth is not a great

117
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: tight end. You have nothing offensively that scares anybody. You

118
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: traded it. You couldn't figure it out with George Pickens.

119
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: You Traine Away as a Pro Bowl year with the

120
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. You need something new. This is great. This

121
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: is a great day for the Steelers simply because now

122
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: they can move into twenty twenty six in the NFL

123
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: and as bad new as everybody else. Yeah, because all

124
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: the other teams are saying, yeah, well, you know, they're

125
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: tough thing to play against, but hey, we get them

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we're gonna beat them because they can't keep

127
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: up with us offensively. They couldn't keep up with a

128
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: with a Texans team last night that had their quarterback

129
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: fumble five times and throw a pick. You couldn't keep

130
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: up with that kind of a team where they had

131
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: two defensive touchdowns. You couldn't put enough points on the

132
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: board offensively. You needed something new. Great, you know, big

133
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: I understand the day for both sides, better day for

134
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers.

135
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, come down to it. It's that difficult decision that

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: you make. And we talked about it a lot. We

137
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: talked about it during the course of the year. Right

138
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: when the hot seat, it was Harbaugh was him, it

139
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: was dom Win. It was back and forth. And now

140
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: they're both out, uh, and we get new blood and

141
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: end of an era in the NFL. Now it's all

142
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: nothing but short tenured coaches outside of the Andy Reid

143
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: out there, and who knows how long he sticks around.

144
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: At this point, he think about the AFC nord. Zach

145
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: Taylor's now the last guy stands. He's the only coach

146
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: there's only forget about coach of the longest tenure. He's

147
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the only he just defeated the Kurgan. He's the only

148
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: You want to play a game tomorrow if you're the Bengals,

149
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: because the other teams don't have that coach.

150
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: At least we have a head goat. Yeah, but the

151
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: other team still have better defenses. But okay, so then.

152
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: You have a quarterback that doesn't want to play with you. Okay,

153
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: so the Bengal if you played a game tomorrow, the

154
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: Bengals the way they are now versus the other teams

155
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: without a head coach, doesn't matter.

156
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers could draw plays in the dirt against the

157
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: Bengals defense.

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Well, it can't be you go lung, so you can't

159
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: throw the ball more than one point five areas well,

160
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: and that's okay. He goes short, I'll throw it to you.

161
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: That's okay.

162
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: They have no pass rush, so you got plenty of

163
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: opportunity and he's probably not gonna get hit in the head.

164
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: That leads to a touchdown that I think.

165
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: We were the only people to actually raise our hand

166
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: and say, what the house going on here? Because the

167
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: final score got out of sorts. But for Tomlin and

168
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: the Steelers, one of the difficult parts of it all is,

169
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: and we've quoted it oftentimes, we go back to the

170
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 3: lyrical genius of the song Helter skelter. When I get

171
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: to the bottom, I get back to the top of

172
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: the slide where I stop and I turn and I

173
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: go for a run. You've never bottomed out, You've never

174
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: had that, all right, go get that next quarterback. Okay,

175
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph or whatever. You drafted guys, but they weren't

176
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: guys that were projected to be go to franchise. I

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: hate the term load, the term generational guys. You haven't

178
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: been in a position to go anywhere near that for

179
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: years because you're right on the fringe of the playoffs

180
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: or just inside it. Right, So you're drafting middle first

181
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: round or worse every year. Right now, you're defensive heavy.

182
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: Now you're starting to age out and you'll get away

183
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: from some of these contracts fairly fast. But that's the

184
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: the other dirty little secret to all of this is

185
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: that you've never had the opportunity for a full organizational reset.

186
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: Even as you go into twenty twenty six, you're not there.

187
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 3: And if you look at the quarterback market, what the

188
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: hell's there that has you excited? Yeah, you get your

189
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: choice of Kyler Murray or Tua that you have to

190
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: go give up assets for. Yeah, let me get on

191
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: board that, or or at least if you identical, because look,

192
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: the Steelers do a good job identifying talent. If you

193
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: identify someone that, hey, we think Ty Simpson is our guy,

194
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: we think garrettnus Meyer's our guy, you identify taking a

195
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: quarterback of the future in the first couple of rounds. Sure,

196
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: but but it's the point of you know, we we

197
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: go in, we get that guy that might be that

198
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: top of the line starter. Say what you will about

199
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger, there was a long period of time where

200
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: he was in that you know, if we did the

201
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: four horsemen kind of thing, that he's still playing meaningful

202
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: football and he was tough enough to drag down that

203
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: he was gonna make a play on you. He didn't

204
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: have to like it, he didn't have to love it.

205
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: They had a good ground game here. You've got enough

206
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 3: to be dangerous on any given Sunday, but also less

207
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: of an offense to where Arthur Smith you were hamstrung. Right,

208
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: they still played one more game than George Pickens and company.

209
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: Just so you know.

210
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so in the end the Steelers can still say

211
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: we won. Uh sure, sure they can't. Yeah, because George Pickens.

212
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: There's no guarantee he's staying in Dallas either.

213
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: You know. But just think if you had the George

214
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: Pickens from this year in Dallas this year, Yahn Pittsburgh,

215
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: if George Picketts wanted to be that guy, he would

216
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: have been there.

217
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: The one thing you got to get by Tom with

218
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: credit for is he put up and condoned or maybe

219
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: even cajoled some of that that level of lunacy with

220
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: the wide receiver and running back position until it was

221
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: no longer required for their continued support of Steelers athletics

222
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: and move them on. But it's always tough in these

223
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: circumstances because you can't say he did a bad job

224
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: like most of these other jobs. You guys get bounced,

225
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: you're like, hey, it's gone, it's just it's just stay.

226
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: You're just running in place. And it's only appropriate. And

227
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: we talked about it yesterday, right, tying our besting Marvin

228
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: Lewis in terms of most consecutive oustings in the first

229
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: round of a first of a playoff run, because Marvin

230
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: Lewis was the same thing. Took the bangles from the

231
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: dregs and got them to the where they were stable,

232
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: but they never got over, so eventually got to move

233
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: a with Mike Tomblin. You're just running in place at

234
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: this point. You're not even running up that hill.

235
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: Right and now here. Don't break, don't stop stop, were

236
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: not play.

237
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: I know?

238
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: He said nothing. Harmon said, nothing that you need to

239
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: worry about. Plateaued and wait wait, take that and play

240
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: that one back. Harmon said, nothing you need to worry about. Uh. Sure,

241
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: but here's the thing about Tomlin. Right to go from

242
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: from the Steelers to Tomlin, Right, great day for Tomlin

243
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: and a great day for the Steelers for Tomlin. Yes,

244
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: he's a terrific coach. However, whatever winds up this year,

245
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: maybe it's a couple of years. He's doing television already.

246
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Marshan is a big business reporter, a sports business reporter,

247
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: said he's gonna have his pick of different networks, and

248
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: Fox maybe would be in the lead for Tomlin service,

249
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: He's he get a multimillion dollar offer to do TV.

250
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: Is he gonna jump right back into be a coach now?

251
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Maybe not. I would think Tomlin after this is gonna

252
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: wait out and pick the job he wants. More in

253
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, that seems more because right now it's like, Okay, suddenly,

254
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: is Tomlin gonna be in the list in New York?

255
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: Does he want to go to Atlanta? I mean it's

256
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: it's late in the game for him for this year,

257
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: but a year of because he's still young, a year

258
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: off to go wait and come back and do it.

259
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: But this is the thing, like, like I approach Mike

260
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Tomlin like i'd approach and I would have approached interviewing

261
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Belichick for a job when he was leaving the pay

262
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: when he when he left the Patriots and they decided

263
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: he was he was out. I would say, listen, if

264
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: we're going to give you this job, you need to

265
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: run this team with a modern day style of coaching.

266
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that you need to change who

267
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: you are, but this is the type of team that's

268
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: going to win, and we need a team that is

269
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: dynamic offensively, that can throw the football up and down

270
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: the field, like, this is how we're gonna win. You

271
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: tried it your way and it didn't win. Right. You

272
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: tried the last year's with Roethlisberger when he had no

273
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: air yards at every every ball to Deontay Johnson was

274
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: two yards past the line of scrimmage looking for yak, Like,

275
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: you can't run the if you think if you're gonna

276
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: run the team that way, great, Hey, awesome to meet you.

277
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: It's great, but we're gonna go someplace else. Like, he's

278
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: got to understand that he's got to grow and the

279
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: next head coaching job doesn't have to be his philosophy.

280
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, Yes, we'll do it. I have

281
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: an offense coidator in mind, who's gonna come in. We're

282
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna light up the scoreboard and do all kinds of things,

283
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: because that's how that's what's gonna get him another job

284
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: doing this the last ten years. Hey, it's great, it's

285
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: what he did. We like him, but man, we don't.

286
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: We don't want that kind of offense here. That doesn't

287
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: sell tickets, doesn't excite the fan base, doesn't do anything.

288
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: We guaranteed to win. This is a different era in

289
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, and what we've seen from Tomlin in the

290
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: last ten plus years is that his philosophy as the

291
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: NFL has passed him by. And so if he go,

292
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: if you change, you tell me you change, and I

293
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: believe you, then okay we can do something here and

294
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: you come in to be our coach. But if you

295
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: say I know what wins and this is how to win,

296
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: then I'll say, Okay, we're gonna go someplace else.

297
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: Just go someplace where you have the starter kit that

298
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: includes a serviceable quarterback, which out of those eight teams,

299
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: those are pretty rare. You'd been looking squarely at the

300
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: New York foot Fall Giants, and even then you got

301
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: to make sure Jackson Dart isn't in the tent right now.

302
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: Well, the people who are allowed to see him in

303
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: the tent, yeah they're not. Everybody's allowed to go in

304
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: the tent. And same is he in there? Fake? Is

305
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: he in there? Scato? Can you go in there and

306
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: see if he's.

307
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,240

344
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: every single night. So we talked about the Tomlin situation

345
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, who resigned as head coach of the Steelers

346
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: today after nineteen years. Likely, I'm in theory he will

347
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: take a year off, probably do some TV, and then

348
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: pick his job next year. Yeah, but he said he

349
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't go to the dark side. That's what he called

350
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: the media. Yeah, yeah, we'll see. Bill Belichick went to

351
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: the media. That happened. Sterling Sharp went to the media. Everybody, Oh,

352
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: the media is evil, the media is Oh you know,

353
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm a mean Sterling Sharp wouldn't talk to anybody his

354
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: entire NFL career of fame for a long time, wouldn't

355
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: talk to anyone. And then at the end, Oh you know,

356
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm on TV. I'm gonna talk one of those guys

357
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: all those years ago that I would try to argue with.

358
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: People say, watched him as a packer.

359
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: He was fantastic when he hated everybody. Yeah, yeah, Reggie Jackson,

360
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean, keep on going.

361
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna do that.

362
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: Hey, sure, sure, Oh, Randy john I think he said

363
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: Randy Jackson for a second, he's always been on TV. Look, dog,

364
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: look dog. I don't want to be the head coach

365
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: of the of any team in the NFL. I want

366
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: to sit here and tell Simon Cowley stupid. That's all

367
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: I want to do. Uh so, yeah, I mean everybody says,

368
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Doc said, yeah, okay, Oh, here's millions of dollars to

369
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: go sit and look. Obviously, Fox would probably be the

370
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: favorite because he knows Jay Glazer for a long time. Right,

371
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: Jay's talked to us a lot a couple of times

372
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: where Tomlin's Tomlin Sun was at his house when Jay's

373
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: doing it. Hey, I'm having a party here, got a

374
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: bunch of people here. Tom So that seemingly would be

375
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: the leader. You go and do TV. I'm sure it's

376
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: a Sean Payton kind of timeline where I go for

377
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: a year, the Steelers retain his rights, they will trade

378
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: him to a team uh in a year, and they'll

379
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: recoup some sort of draft stock for him.

380
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: It's funny, right because last week we were talking about

381
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: no Harbaugh and as he leaves again no no, no, no, no,

382
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: no no, He's make it very clear.

383
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: We got to it.

384
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 3: Have the fifty five million dollars that are still there.

385
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: They owe him that money or you'll have to pay

386
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: against it very much here with the no no, the

387
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: Steelers have Mike tom Win's right, Yeah, this is not

388
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: a They're not finished at all here in this So

389
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: I love those little details as opposed to all these

390
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: other coaching displacements where he's like, yeah, no, we never

391
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 3: want to see that guy again.

392
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean then look, obviously, would he get a head

393
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: coaching gig in this cycle if he jumped in. Sure? However,

394
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: The Giants seemed to be pretty far down the road

395
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: with John Harbough and Kevin Stefanski. Right what you saw

396
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart in the sideline last weekend saying Harvarsterfanski. It's like,

397
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: oh okay, someone asked him, Hey, what's going on? You

398
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: read him saying Harvarsterfanski. So that's the number one opening.

399
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: The Falcons also is a pretty good opening. But Tomlin

400
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: needs something big market, right, you know? Is he really

401
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: gonna go from Pittsburgh to the Falcons? So I kind

402
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: of feel like it's the Giants or bust for Tomlin.

403
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: And because they're so far downroad, these other couple of guys, Yeah,

404
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna wait a here because honestly, I can't recommend

405
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: going to Tennessee or Arizona or the Raiders. I can't

406
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: recommend any of those jobs.

407
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: But that's the thing when you look around, and this

408
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 3: is where we had our Dante More conversation, it kind

409
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: of applies here. Guess who's still gonna be in the

410
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: coaching cycle The next time you're looking for jobs, it's

411
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: gonna be most of these same spot.

412
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: If I don't take the Raiders' job this year, it'll

413
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: be open again next year, and I can take it

414
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: if I want, either one or two years down the line,

415
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: it'll come back open again. I mean, well, you talk

416
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: about coaching openings, there's a couple, right, because even though

417
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: there's fives, like can you you can't recommend any of

418
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: those places.

419
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I look at Atlanta right where you've

420
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: got a defense front seven's pretty good. H You're in

421
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: a division you can go win, but you still have

422
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: the same.

423
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: Question, who the hell is your quarterback? Yeah?

424
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: Right, you get Bijon, you got Pits if he stays,

425
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 3: and you got Drake London, so you got some building blocks.

426
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: Defensive line wasn't awful, but again that that division is gettable,

427
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: right and before the thing is before we get to Tomlin,

428
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: like this is where you know different point. Mike Florio

429
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 3: had to report on Pro Football Talk earlier today that

430
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: potentially the Giants have already made a big offer to

431
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh in the twenty million dollar range because that

432
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: story leaked this week and that he wants control over

433
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: the roster and twenty million dollars a year. Now, the

434
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 3: money thing is okay because it's free money twenty day

435
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: it's not well, Also, it's not part of the salary cap.

436
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: It's our part of it's an owner can pay. You

437
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: could pay twenty million dollars for a great head coach.

438
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 4: Right.

439
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: Eventually, the NFL is going to start paying their head

440
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: coaches like colleges are. They're gonna understand that you have

441
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: a really good one, you got to do everything you

442
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: can to keep them and not get coached by another

443
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: team or not figure that out. So it's going to

444
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: be a case of hey, twenty million dollars suddenly. Oh man,

445
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: remember we would get great coaches for seven million dollars

446
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: a year, eight million dollars year. Boy, that was great.

447
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be coaches are going to get even

448
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: more money. They're gonna get more with their worth. So

449
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna get the money. It's not again

450
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: if you have to worry about salary cap or some

451
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: kind of of but you don't, so it's it's fine.

452
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: But overall, the fit for John Harbaugh is way better

453
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: in Atlanta than it is in New York. New York

454
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: is New York is the best job. Clearly New York

455
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: is the best job. However, the the chance of success

456
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: is way better from in Atlanta because as you said,

457
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: the division is terrible. I mean, it's not the AFC North,

458
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: which is absolutely terrible, and only as one head coach

459
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: right now, Wade Joe Burrow says, hey, I want to trade.

460
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, hey, we're canceling the AFC. You want it,

461
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: you want us to fire the coach. We're canceling the

462
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: AFC North. Nobody wants to any of these teams. Joe

463
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: Burrow wants out, there's nobody we care. We're canceling the

464
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: AFC North and we're gonna let Lamar Jackson go to auction,

465
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: so uh, just go ahead, bid whatever you think you

466
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: want for Lamar Jackson.

467
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 5: There you go.

468
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of that division entirely. But this

469
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: is a division that's terrible. That what this team is,

470
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: they have a lot of young talent, and what they

471
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: do is they need a situation where you need an

472
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: adult in the room that can, that has the cachet

473
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: to handle what's happening with the question a quarterback between

474
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: Pennix and Kirk Cousins figuring that out, how that's gonna

475
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: work this year, getting the most out of Michael Pennock Junior,

476
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: who has not been great right, figure out how to

477
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: get the most out of an offense when it's revolving

478
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: around Bajon Robinson's the best running back in the NFL.

479
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: Can you get the most out of Drake London? Do

480
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: you want to extend Kyle Pitts? Can you make Kyle

481
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Pitts finally after five years into the guy we thought

482
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: he was coming out of college. These are all things

483
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: that a guy with cashe needs to come in right.

484
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: Because Raheem Morris did a pretty good job there, but

485
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: in the end, his coaching acumen is not. You know,

486
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: with all those young players, he never could get them

487
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: together right now. There's other situations where if you're looking

488
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: to start things over again, you want to start like

489
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris is your guy, right to go in and say, hey,

490
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: we need a guy to get us from A to B.

491
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris is that guy? Now B two C. That's

492
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: a different thing. So John Harbaugh having the cache, who's

493
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: not gonna listen to him when he walks into Atlanta

494
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: and says, look, this is what do you have a

495
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: lot of young talent. You gotta harness and get on

496
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: the same page. Atlanta is has too much talent to

497
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: beat the Bills and lose to the Jets, right Like,

498
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is the type of season

499
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: they had, or this this is Atlanta right like, he

500
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: could have won the division if they had just beaten

501
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: the Jets. Right. So this is where you need someone

502
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: coming in that's got that that that image and the

503
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: optic of what he says we're gonna go do, right

504
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: Like like the big saying about Bill Parcells, I forget.

505
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: One of his players who signed with him in free

506
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: agency says, you know he he's the type of coach

507
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: that tells you, you know, what's your favorite food? And

508
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: I say cheese, And Parcel says, there's cheese on top

509
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: of that mountain, go get it. And I run up

510
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: that mount for him to go get that cheese. Right Like,

511
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: if you tell me there's good cheese top, I will run.

512
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: You would run up that hill, yeah, I mean, depending

513
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: on how big of a hill it is, because I

514
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: don't want to run too much. Run well, I could

515
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: run now, No, I write with you, my new body,

516
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: Now I could run a little bit. Did you up

517
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: that hill a little bit? Now? But like you know,

518
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: that's the type of coach that horrible. He's won the

519
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He is he is, He's an offense. He's

520
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: crafted the team that's competitive every year, that stays in it.

521
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, did his time run the course after eighteen years?

522
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: You have, of course at this But between him and Stefanski, like,

523
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: Okay Stefanski, I feel like he's a better fit for

524
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: the Giants because he's a quarterback guru. He's the guy

525
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: that's I've won and competed in Cleveland, which was a

526
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: train wreck with all kinds. I don't care who you

527
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: gave me a quarterback. We still went out there and

528
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: we either got to the playoffs or my team didn't quit,

529
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: or I got the quarterback to play well, whether it

530
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: was Shador Sanders or whether it was Joe Flakko off

531
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: his couch and and Stefanski going into New York. That's

532
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: what Jackson Dart needs. This is a Jackson Dart driven

533
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: team with all the weapons. You got to make sure

534
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: you are unlocking him. And Stefanski is much more of

535
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: a quarterback guy than John Harbaugh is. So that's why

536
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the Fits, even though the Giants are

537
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: going for John Harbaugh, I feel like the Fits are

538
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: kind of opposite, where Stefanski's a much better fit in

539
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: New York and Harball is a better fit in atlant Yeah,

540
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: I would agree with you.

541
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: Uh. You know, in the quarterback position, it's always just

542
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: been kind of set it and forget it for Harbaugh

543
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: all those years. So that's something to navigate. We know

544
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 3: that Kirk Cousins restructured his deals, so the question there

545
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: and how quickly in the rehab process will Penix be ready?

546
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: How available is he?

547
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: Like? You still got to navigate that, right because for

548
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh, he had Flacco and goes straight into Lamar Jackson.

549
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: That's pretty good run. Not many teams have been able

550
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: to do that, right.

551
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: We always cite what you did in Green Bay, going

552
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: from Farv to Rogers into what Jordan love is and

553
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: you can decide how much you love or hate him

554
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 3: and Lafleur while you're at it. But for John Harbaugh

555
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: down down in Atlanta, all of that fits to his

556
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 3: personality and the way he's run that squad for a

557
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: load these many years. For Stefanski, to your point, he's

558
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: gotten the best out of a hodge podge of quarterbacks.

559
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: And you're also looking at coming into a pretty good

560
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: defense and being in Cleveland, the poison pens have been

561
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: out right, there's no positivity there. It lasts about three

562
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 3: weeks and then it blows off like you know whatever,

563
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 3: in the next storm. It's that when when Cleveland was

564
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 3: playing well, like even in the Coach of the Year season,

565
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: it was always at arms length, like always looking to

566
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: find waiting for the factory of sadness to show its face,

567
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: and oftentimes it did and he finds himself and the

568
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 3: odd man out. Even though Barry was the guy that

569
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: saddled everything with the contract, you know, at Haslam's urging,

570
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: going back to the Deshaun Watson stuff that ham strung

571
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: them quite often when it came to adding more players

572
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: in Atlanta. The one thing, though, you still do need

573
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: to figure out whether you're gonna franchise Kyle Pitts or

574
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: keep him around or move away from him. But that's

575
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: that's the minute of it for Stefanski in New York again,

576
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: you know the noise, You've got a pretty good defense

577
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: that's already installed. You got a division that's very uncertain.

578
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: We'll get into what Philadelphia did today, but the the

579
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 3: arms length they've got, Nick Sirianni, you look at Dallas.

580
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: They can't get out of their own way, all right,

581
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: And then Washington had that surge for a year and

582
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: and drifted right back down. Now, I'd be remiss if

583
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 3: I didn't point out the fact that right now, your.

584
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Guy, Zach Taylor, my guy? Why is it my guy?

585
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: Why is my guy? Because he's the last man stand

586
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: He's the only he's everybody's guy. He's the Highland. He

587
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: can't just be my He's every He's the only guy

588
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: in that division. He is like set bladder. I am

589
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: the president of everybody. I am that of everybody. Does

590
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: he get a prize for surviving everybody else? I'm the

591
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: head coach of the NFC North, which team the entire division?

592
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: I run everything.

593
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: But right now, Zach Taylor is tied for the fifth

594
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 3: longest tenure of a head coach in the National Football League. Yeah,

595
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 3: you got Andy Reid McVeigh, Shanahan McDermott, and then you've

596
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 3: got Zach Taylor and Matt Lafleur at seven years.

597
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: Everybody else has been cycled out repeated Well, remember Zach

598
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: Taylor has been to a Super Bowl, so remember he

599
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: does have that resume. It's okay, Yeah, you know he's

600
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: got you only get to trade on that for so

601
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: many Why he's the only one left in the Hey,

Speaker 1: how long? How many? How much said is left in

00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: the hour glass?

Speaker 5: Man?

00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: Now wait a minute, Frostburg, you know where he's going.

606
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: You have this information here? Yeah, so everything you guys

607
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: just said about John Harbaugh is irrelevant. Okay, okay, wow, okay,

Speaker 1: I want to hear this. Go ahead. I'm so sure

773
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: But getting post horizon and I love the fact that

774
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 3: there's some u some hatred there, there's some some angst

775
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: and some anger and and that goes out on the court.

776
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 3: The fact that this is like the forty seventh time

777
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: they're matching up, yeah, before the end of January is

778
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: a problem.

779
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

780
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: No, it's a uh, it's a hey, they're trying to

781
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: make this rival it's kind of make this rivalry happen. Man,

782
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: watch this. We can't watch this on Peacock. We can't

783
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: make a d and Luca happen. So, uh, you know,

784
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: we gotta do something here. Uh look the other big

785
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: NBA story. I'll have more in this developing stories. The

786
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: night goes on. Anthony Davis is now out for the

787
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: season after a hand injury that he suffered the other

788
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: day just just knocking his hand in, you know, trying

789
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: to trying to break up a play.

790
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: Uh, he is.

791
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: His hand injury is gonna keep out for the season. However,

792
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: potentially could return in the playoffs. Now the Mavericks are

793
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs, you have to worry about that.

794
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: But this is why the Mavericks are continuing to talk

795
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: about trading him because his potential return for the playoffs,

796
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: he could help a team. So even though the injury here,

797
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: he's out for the year, A D says no, AD

798
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: says no, He's okay, And it looked like a pretty

799
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: innocuous injury, like I'm just banging my against your jersey

800
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: and oh man, I'm out now. You know, there's two

801
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: things about this is One is that I can't trade

802
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: for a D because I can't hold my breath every

803
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: time he gets on the court. I can't do it. Man.

804
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: I thought, hey, they got the best trade they could

805
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: for Luca with a D. But now he can't even

806
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: stand in the court. Over a year with Dallas, he

807
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: get when he plays, he's still great, But I can't

808
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: hold my breath. You can't hold your breath for a

809
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: guy you count on so much. So I know they

810
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: want to deal him, and I know somebody's gonna jump

811
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: in and eventually feel you know, hey, I'm getting a

812
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: little antsy here. We need something else. Hey, let's go

813
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: in for a d Maybe it's the next somebody's gonna

814
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: do it. But I can't do it because he's he's

815
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: too big an acquisition to be someone that well, I

816
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: know I'm not gonna have him for the playoff runt.

817
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: I know he's just gonna get hurt. I can't count

818
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: on him. Well, I wouldn't have traded for him before then.

819
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: I mean last year. You can make the argument, all right,

820
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: here's what we need to do. This situation in Dallas

821
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: is untenable. Go find some assets, make him run, and

822
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: see what you can put together. You come back and

823
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: you've got some injury long hint, injury history on the

824
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: veterans on your squad to try to get yourself back

825
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: to whole around Cooper flag. And clearly has it worked.

826
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: And now, I mean he's been in and out of

827
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 3: the lineup much of the year and now you don't

828
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: even know if he's available at all until next fall. No,

829
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's hey, yeah, long ago. I mean, look,

830
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: it goes back to his operation shutdown all those years

831
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: ago when he wanted to go to the Lakers. He

832
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: was raised the eyebrow like all right, eye opening got

833
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 3: what he wanted, played well and had big runs in

834
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, but you're at the point where it's a

835
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: declining asset and for what you have to do to

836
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 3: match money forget about it.

837
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is what makes it even tougher for

838
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Mavericks because not only Okay, you're gonna trade him, but

839
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: how hard it is because Aad is a guy that

840
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: they have to trade, right, because it hasn't worked. It's

841
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: been a year, and he's a daily reminder to the team,

842
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: the fan base, the end that they traded Luca and

843
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: everybody's still mad. Right, you tried to make it work

844
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: for year. He can't stay healthy, So you gotta move

845
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: on from him because he again, he's a walking reminder

846
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: of the Luca trade, So move on. You're building around

847
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: Cooper flag trade, Anthony Davis, Right, I get that, But

848
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: how are you going to How is the team gonna

849
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: make the money work and give up assets whatever they

850
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: are for Ad for a guy that baby can play

851
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: this year maybe maybe he's healthy. I mean, you are

852
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: absolutely stuck. If you're the Map. Yeah, I love that.

853
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 3: The report that he's gotta have surgery. You'all better stop

854
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: listening to these lies. On these apps like that, on

855
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:35,680
