16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: we're here, justin Frossburg. Some tough news about Justin. I

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: want to tell you he may may not be in tonight.

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: He may or may not be in for the next

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: few nights. He sent me a text not too long ago.

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: He is on Melrose Avenue right now buying new Nike

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: Air Force ones.

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: With his new offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel.

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: Oh right, sweet.

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: It may wind up being like a bucket list kind

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: of a couple of weeks for him, where Frostburg and

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: McDaniel are just doing their own thing around La together.

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: I think.

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel put a picture up on his Instagram account

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: he and Frostburg buying Capri pants together. Fantastic, so they

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: might even troll bills fans together.

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this is now like I don't know, like

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: I don't know when. Oh why wait he's here. Oh

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: he walked in, he walked, Oh hey, Prosburg. How's it going, man?

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: How you feeling?

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: I can't hear you because I'm stomping in my air

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: Force ones.

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Ah can't be cold enough for him, man, let's go.

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: Oh great?

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: Is that?

40
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Dude?

41
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. This is okay. This

42
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: is good and bad. It's it's good because this story

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: is really good for the Chargers. It's bad because I'm

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: more excited about teams hiring offensive and defensive coordinators than

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I am hiring head coaches. That's how bad around it is.

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: Like this move that just came in Mike McDaniel, former

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: Dolphins head coach who was fired, pulled out of the search,

48
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: pulled out of the interview process, to become Brown's head coach.

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: So think about that.

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather be in oc with the Chargers than a

51
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: head coach of the Browns.

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but still that kind of I think there's

53
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 5: a lot to say to it, though. Right, you just

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: finished this coaching run. You're gonna try to get yourself

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: re established as the guru, maybe find your love of

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 5: things again, because I gotta imagine the last year had

57
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 5: to be difficult to deal with, all right, the benching

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: of Tua, some of the injuries, the Tyreek Hills situation.

59
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 5: Like you add it all up, it was a pretty

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 5: miserable slog through a seventeen game season. Now you get

61
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: to reset, go back, and now you've got a bunch

62
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 5: of toys to operate with. You got a coach, and

63
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh that he gets to be the quirky guy

64
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 5: at the news conferences, and you just get to go

65
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: back to the lab. And then you come back and

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: you can re emerge and guess what, Like we just

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: said with Dante More, the Browns job will be there

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: in two years, the Jets' job.

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: Will be there.

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: It'll always be there.

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 5: It's in perpetuity, what I mean, Those jobs are going

72
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: to be there. Whereas I could go be out in

73
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, maybe rehabilitate some of my reputation, get away

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 5: from the toxicity of what just went down, and make

75
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert that guy, because if you can get him

76
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 5: to the level that Jim Harbaugh thinks he's already at,

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: you're a hero.

78
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: He took tu to the playoffs, We're going to the

79
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: super Bowl, dude.

80
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Honestly, I love this move, like as down I was

81
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: on the Chargers after that loss, because boy, you saw

82
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: across the board, really how far away they are? Not

83
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: just about hey, we have to go get more offensive

84
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: linemen and go in with four guys every position for

85
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: next year. Make sure Joe Walt is healthy. But the

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: running game wasn't what you thought it was. Maybe Herbert's

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: not what you thought he was because it's not like

88
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: he was under pressure the entire game. He missed some throws,

89
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: he missed the place certainly. Yeah, and you know the defense,

90
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: you can only ask him to do so much. You

91
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: can't just run it back next year. Maybe the weapons

92
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: are and as good Lad McConkie's not used at all.

93
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: He's pissed the end of the season, as bad as

94
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: it was for the Chargers. This is this is the

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: best way to flip that narrative. I mean, Mike McDaniel

96
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: was probably my favorite hire of the off season. When

97
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: someone's gonna get him as their offensive coordinator, and it

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: turned out to be the Charges.

99
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: This is a phenomenal move for them.

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.

101
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 5: As we look at the landscape, there's a couple of

102
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: those jobs that stand ahead and shoulders above and where

103
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 5: you've got quarterbacks and whatever rumors start swirling about in

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: Baltimore and you look at what the Buffalo job is.

105
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 5: After I think all of the social media backlash, they

106
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: finally put together that highlight video for McDermott. Oh yeah,

107
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 5: we didn't hate him that much. Here here's a video.

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 5: But like there, you have quarterbacks everywhere else.

109
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: It's the same.

110
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: Run in the mill kind of thing, right, Yeah, Pittsburgh, Baltimore,

111
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 5: they're different jobs because they don't come open with that

112
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: level of frequency. Buffalo that was nine years, so everything

113
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 5: else is in the spin cycle.

114
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: Immediately give it two years. Hey, we're looking for a

115
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 3: new coach.

116
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: You want in so for Mike McDaniel to get off

117
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: the carousel and just say, you know what, I'm gonna

118
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 5: go to a job where we've got some stability.

119
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got some pieces that need to be fixed.

120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 5: As you said, talk about the tackles getting healthy, maybe

121
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 5: figure out how to make Mconkie that guy again, but

122
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 5: also really bring up these other weapons around.

123
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

124
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: It's a nice reheabit and it's great for us.

125
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: He won't talk to the press as much. No, so

126
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: we don't get that same level.

127
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: It's gonna be too bad.

128
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: So he's gonna have to surreptitiously just record him so

129
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 5: that we get some great sound bodies.

130
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Well, he just put it.

131
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: He just put a note on Instagram, Frostburg Mike McDaniel,

132
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: and he said, he said, Hey, meet me in bolt

133
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: Smooth because that's justin on Twitter Bolt Smooth. Meet me

Speaker 5: Wait a minute, are you booking things for Frostburger for McDaniel.

139
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's putting stuff on social media that's.

140
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: Out going to stand online like it's the opening night

141

Speaker 3: of Star Wars. Full cause play like Mike McDaniel. H right.

142
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the other big story in the NFL that's broken

143
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: in we'll have more on this with Jason Lockin for

144
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: coming up in a few minutes. The other big story

145
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: that's broken in the last hour revolves everybody's favorite quarterback

146
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: that we forgot he was this ornery Baker Mayfield. De

147
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Orlando Ledbetter with the Atlanta Journal Constitution put out a

148
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: column today about new head coach Kevin Stefanski, and part

149
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: of his lead for the column was Falcons. Kevin Stefanski

150
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: had a dumpster fire at quarterback in Cleveland, Baker Mayfield

151
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: and to show on Watson failed, which started a chain

152
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: reaction to eleven other starters. Now he goes on to

153
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: talk about and you know, hey, it's different here, and

154
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: this is what Kevin Stefanski had to deal with in Cleveland. Well,

155
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield proving that, well, you know, you can't go away, Fred,

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you can hibernate for a while, but hey, eventually

157
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come back out and here he is boom

158
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: like a ninja. I'm jumping out. He quote tweets this

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and says failed is quite the reach. Pal still waiting

160
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: on a text slash call from him Stefanski after I

161
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can't wait

162
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: to see you twice a year, Coach. I like the

163
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: insertion of the pal. Yeah, hey, Pal, that's.

164
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: It, Pal.

165
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I got a couple of things. First

166
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: of all, I missed this Baker Mayfield. As much as

167
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: I've given him credit for maturing over the years, he

168
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: had a phenomenal year last year, all the time. I

169
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean, I you know, I think it's

170
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: a uh you know it, I do do say.

171
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: I missed this version of Baker.

172
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: I miss where hey, I want to get into would

173
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like, you know, it's the good

174
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: old days, like hey, we're back in twenty twenty one

175
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty two.

176
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: Hey, the good old days are back now, all right, eh.

177
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 5: I think he got needled by his buddies that he

178
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: needed to get back to having an edge to him

179
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 5: that he'd lost on all of that as the good

180
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 5: family man, and everything else, even though all had gone right.

181
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: And you look at his Tampa Bay years four thou

182
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: forty five hundred and thirty six ninety three, the touchdown

183
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: to interception ratio is high forty one and twenty four

184
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: twenty six this last year. But maybe he needed to

185
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 5: get that saltiness back.

186
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: I like that I missed the salty again. I feel

187
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: like it's the good old days.

188
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: Hey Baker, by right, Big Baker Mayfield trying to fight

189
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: with authors and writers and radio hosts. Hey Baker's back, man, Hey, alright,

190
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: but I have you ready for this is I'm gonna

191
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: shock you. I have a non hot take about this story.

192
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: No non hot take.

193
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: Because sometimes what's that what's that show that Duf mccagan

194
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: does Three Chords in the Truth? Yeah, Like, I feel

195
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: this is one of those three chords in the truth.

196
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: And I could play a song for you, but I

197
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: can also just tell you the truth about this story.

198
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

199
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: Okay, still waiting on a text call from him after

200
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Okay,

201
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: let's understand that you were not shipped off like a

202
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: piece of garbage. Everybody's got to take a little bit

203
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: of responsibility in their life, and Baker Mayfield has to

204
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: take a little bit of responsibility that he had two

205
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: good years in Cleveland and two average to below average ones.

206
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: He was the number one overall pick in the draft

207
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: and your last year turned out to be your worst

208
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: year when they had to make a decision on you

209
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: so decided to let you go.

210
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, first and third years were great, second and fourth miserable.

211
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: It's not like It's not like you were great for

212
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: four years and there was a personality conflict and Stefanski

213
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: said you're gone. You were up and down. You were

214
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft, and a couple

215
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: of years you were okay, and a couple of years

216
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: you weren't. So shipped off like a piece of garbage.

217
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: No judging by your career. Now, would you become the

218
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: quarterback that you are in Tampa without the time in Cleveland.

219
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, because sometimes adversity makes you into

220
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: something you don't know that you could be. He was

221
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: not on a path to continue to be a great quarterback.

222
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: He was not busting out. He was someone who this

223
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: is kind of who he is. He gets involved in

224
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: everybody's personal business.

225
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: He's he's very.

226
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: Much, a very big, fiery quarterback that has a lot

227
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: of attitude with him and come follow me to Hell.

228
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: I'll take you through.

229
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: But in the end, you gotta win football games, and

230
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: you have to be a quarterback that plays in the

231
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: top half of the NFL, especially when you're a number

232
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: one overall pick. So so the thing is the reality.

233
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: The non hot take is, dude, just take a little

234
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: bit of responsibility, because I don't know that he's ever

235
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: taken responsibility for anything that's gone wrong. It's you know,

236
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: oh this, this is what you know. Hugh Jackson. It

237
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: was his fault in the beginning. Now it's Kevin Stefanski's fault. Dude,

238
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: take some responsibility for your own career. You've won, right,

239
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: you've won because you went to Tampa. You got a

240
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: big contract. As long as you have a decent year

241
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: next year, they'll give you another good contract, because hey,

242
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: life without a quarterback is can be miserable and up

243
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: until your receivers really started getting hurt and the defenses

244
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: figured out, hey, well without some of the best receivers

245
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Baker Mayfield can be had. Yeah, you

246
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: struggled a bit, You struggled down the end. Okay, you're

247
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: coming into a year now, your contract will be coming

248
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: up soon. You have another good year and you're gonna

249
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: get paid again. But you went and you won, But

250
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: just take a little bit of responsible. I got shipped

251
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: off like a piece of garbage.

252
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: Dude. If you won more games and you played better,

253
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: you would still be there.

254
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: Now a couple of things. I'll go the hot take

255
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: route for you here.

256
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: It's like, I know Stefanski's the shiny new toy in Atlanta,

257
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: but we're gonna carry water for this guy.

258
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what Ledbetter's doing here.

259
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: It's like, well, it was all the quarterbacks like everyone,

260
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 5: were they all great? No? Did they get hamstrung by

261
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 5: that deal with Deshaun Watson, Absolutely, no question about it.

262
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: It changes how you can build your roster and whatever else.

263
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 5: And he can go and fight with the brass with

264
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 5: Barry with Hasle until he's blue in the face.

265
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: But the guy's down in Atlanta.

266
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 5: I mean this is just a hey, all, hail the

267
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 5: new conquering hero kind of column that you're fighting up

268
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 5: as this guy has his introductory prescott.

269
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 3: Well he all had all trash there. Yeah, Now he's

270
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: got an aged.

271
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins, you gotta make a decision on and a

272
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 5: guy with a with one leg that's running out on

273
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 5: a field coming off his third az l Okay.

274
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: So all of that is yeah, I love, I mean,

275
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: look how great he was.

276
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 5: It's finally no, no, no, they built some pretty good rosters.

277
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: For as much as we want to Barry and deservedly so,

278
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 5: he and haslam for for what the Deshaun Watson contract

279
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 5: was and what it it wrought on the rest of

280
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: how much you could tweak the rest of the roster.

281
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 3: They did a pretty good job in the draft.

282
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 5: They did a pretty good job to retain players. You

283
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 5: had Miles Garrett who could have gone anywhere. Well, he

284
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 5: had a lot of a lot of money that that

285
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 5: spoke to him to stay, but he chose to stay

286
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 5: right because he could have gone and gotten pretty much

287
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 5: the same money elsewhere if he really wanted to fight

288
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 5: the issue. So all of that to say, you're carrying

289
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 5: water for this guy and trying to try to get

290
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 5: on kevin'st He's good side. Yeah, Like I'd love to

291
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 5: know what the reality was and the relationship between him

292
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: and Baker Mayfield down the stretch there, because all of

293
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 5: this is coming from one side.

294
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: Baker call on in eight seven seven.

295
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: Just take I mean it.

296
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: Just takes some responsibility and don't just hey, it was

297
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: entirely other people's fault in Cleveland than mine. Oh so

298
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: your twenty one interceptions and twenty two touchdowns? Second, that

299
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: was that was the coach's.

300
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 4: It was bad.

301
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: He was bad that fourth years.

302
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: And then he goes to Carolina and has a shot

303
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 5: and plays badly, right.

304
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: And then then he goes and looks like he's gonna

305
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: restart his career and be the air apparent in La

306
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: to Matthew Stafford. But he hate as much as he plays,

307
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: learns how to play quarterback in a better way. Parlay

308
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: is that into Tampa forty one touchdowns last year? Last

309
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: year he was fantastic. Just understand he was up in debt.

310
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Take some responsibility. Hey, you don't have to say, hey,

311
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: it's all it's all my fault, but say, yeah, you know,

312
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: there's things I could have done. I could have been

313
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: a better player there, because it could have been he

314
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: could have been a better player, but he wasn't. But

315
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: in the end you look down and say, hey, you

316
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: had a record over five hundred once right, you had

317
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: two good years and two not so good years. Own it,

318
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: just own that part of it. It's not always the

319
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: head coach's fault. I mean, as much as I want

320
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: to blame Mike Harmon for the Bears losing and me

321
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: not being able to monetize Cameracle, I mean I can't

322
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: really blame you.

323
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 5: I still got a salty, still got a salty about

324
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 5: it all. I think people have gotten over this loss

325
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: way too fast.

326
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,400

361
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: move against the reporter and Kevin Stefanski. The Chargers have

362
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator? What are we gonna see in Pittsburgh?

Speaker 4: Happy Tuesday, gentlemen, hope you well?

372
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hey, listen, I'm doing better than whatever. Writer

373
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield decided to go crazy on earlier today by

374
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: saying that, hey, Kevin Stefanski can't wait to see him

375
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: twice a year when he shipped me out of Cleveland

376
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: like I was garbage, Jay, I just like Baker Mayfield

377
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: to take a little bit of responsibility that the time

378
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: in Cleveland wasn't always the head coach's fault.

379
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's kind of a weird thing. I

380
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 4: mean I think it was deer Orlando Lenetter really jumped

381
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 4: on who everybody loves, who was just you know, kind

382
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: of whatever Yeah, I think Baker golf brot ESTs too much.

383
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: There's plenty of blame to go around and how things

384
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 4: fell out there, and I think there's been a little

385
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: bit of mythologizing about exactly what took place, you know,

386
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: once Baker made some course corrections and got some things

387
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: squared away. But I think Baker still has obvious limitations

388
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 4: as an NFL quarterback. And I know it was certainly

389
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: banged up this year and then had something to do

390
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: with it. But yeah, I think it's good for the

391
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 4: NFC South, like it's good for the league. It adds

392
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: a little bit of poppin' pos as to a division where,

393
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 4: let's face it, I mean, I guess balcon things is

394
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: kind of like the most visible I'm using rivalry, I'm

395
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 4: doing air quotes rivalry, you know, in that division. So

396
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: this certainly adds some spice to Atlanta Tampa and so

397
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 4: long as Baker's there, which might only be another year

398
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 4: or two also, But yeah, I mean, look, I think

399
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: Stefanskis are very capable NFL head coach, and when you

400
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 4: have a cycle like this where ten dudes are going

401
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: to be fired I'm sorry, hired well, and they've already

402
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: been fired. I dare say there won't be even five

403
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 4: of those tens who actually proved to be capable and

404
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 4: competent NFL head coaches.

405
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny in this cycle we have the three

406
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 5: long standing jobs that suddenly become open, the latest of

407
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 5: which was McDermott finally got his video highlights and everything

408
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 5: from the bills, but after another collapse, out he goes,

409
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 5: and depending on which way the winds blowing, folks either

410
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: really excited about it or really despondent.

411
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: And how unfair it all is.

412
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: Well, I mean there are inherent events just being a

413
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 4: general manager. You know, you sit in the suite with

414
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: the in the luxury box with the owner while the

415
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: other guys freeze them on the sideline trying to hold

416
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: it all together. I think Tyler of Brandon Dean, I

417
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 4: think he's a smart, shrewd guy, but you know, I

418
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 4: also think a lot of their you know, calculated moves

419
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: these last couple of years have not panned out as

420
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: well as they would have hoped. And I think Sean

421
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: McDermott has some limitations as well. But he kept that

422
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: franchise coming and they won games at a record pace

423
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: and he did win eight playoff games, and they we've

424
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: always won a playoff games. And he dealt with a

425
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: lot of injuries on his side of the ball, and

426
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: that secondary which is really his homework. He cut his

427
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 4: teeth originally as a great rising young secondary coach under

428
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: Jim Johnson and throws up the ranks and he's in

429
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: that Andy Reid coaching family trade. And they've had all

430
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 4: kinds of injuries to their second there and Milano is

431
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: always hurt, and a couple of years back, they lose

432
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: both their safety and they keep finding ways, you know,

433
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: to plug things up and do some things pretty darn

434
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: well on their second day now they run the run

435
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: defense stunk, but they also built the defense that was

436
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 4: light in the ass, and that was sort of the

437
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: way they wanted to approach things, and that tended to

438
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 4: bite them in some critical times. Who's going to get

439
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: Josh Allen over the hump? I don't know any Josh

440
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 4: Allen needs to get Josh Allen over the hump, like

441
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if he. Josh Allen needs to, you know,

442
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: win a game over time instead of finding ways to

443
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 4: come up short and in many cases directly contributing to

444
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: them coming up short by missing wide open guys or

445
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 4: trying to do too much or turn the ball over.

446
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 4: So look, I understand why Tomlin's not there anymore, and

447
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 4: why Harvall's not there anymore, and why mcdermot's not there anymore.

448
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean that these baton you know, handings are

449
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 4: going to go smoothly and that the next guy's going

450
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 4: to be and half is kid. It's very easy for

451
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 4: people who sit with the owner to defend personnel decisions

452
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: and point to the guys screwing it up down on

453
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: the you know, down below. It's a lot harder to

454
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: continually find people who can do this job of being

455
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: an NFL head coach, which clearly ain't easy. Jay.

456
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of that, like we've heard rumors maybe Mike

457
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers reunion in Pittsburgh. Are we going

458
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: to get any sexy hires or is it or is

459
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: it going to be well, we're just kind of hoping

460
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: that the young OC's and d season. If your last

461
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: name is Schuele, you're getting a job.

462
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that it's going to be sexy,

463
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 4: because if something was going to happen in the college ranks. Imman,

464
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 4: it either happened or it would be happident a sap

465
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: A lot of these, such as a pretty you know

466
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: down on sort of the the final guys in the

467
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: second interviews and all that stuff. So it's rare that

468
00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 4: a mystery candidate emerges this late and carries the day.

469
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: I don't think there's going to be you know, a

470
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 4: shock in that in that regard. Does somebody leave their

471
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: post really late in the game for a health reason

472
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 4: or whatever in the offseason, and something like that could

473
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 4: always pop up. But I think there's the known candidates

474
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: are pretty much what's what's kicking around, and you know,

475
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 4: I think Jesse Mentor is getting one of these jobs,

476
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 4: and I think it's probably going to be you know, Baltimore,

477
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: like McDermott's going to get one of these jobs. I'll

478
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: be really interested to see, you know, which which one

479
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: it is, you know, Cleveland, it looks like it's going

480
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: to be a young, offensive minded got Buffalo. I think

481
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 4: Davis Webb. I think Brian Flores absolutely deserves one of

482
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: these jobs if it's not Tom Brady, and I'm not

483
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: sure it's going to be Tom Brady. I'm not sure

484
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 4: who it is. I don't see Arizona going back, you know,

485
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 4: to a defensive guy. I mean, I think this is

486
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 4: kind of this is kind of the cycle. You know,

487
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: maybe somebody waits for Clint Kubiak or a Chris Schuler

488
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: or you know, the see House kid in in LA,

489
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 4: but those are that's that's I think kind of where

490
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 4: we are and what's going on.

491
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: One of the guys that had been circulating and certainly

492
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 5: saw him associated baby would be in the next guy

493
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 5: for Lamar Jackson. Well, now he's canted out here, evidently

494
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 5: to Los Angeles, Mike McDaniel to join the fray of

495
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 5: the Chargers and hang out with Jim r Amo a bit.

496
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I like that fit a lot. He's

497
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 4: I think, really at ease on the West Coast. Herbert

498
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 4: is obviously a tremendous athlete, a great quarterback, but somebody

499
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 4: who gets in his own head when it matters most.

500
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 4: And I think McDaniel can be a little bit of

501
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 4: a sense. He's clearly a completely different guy, with a

502
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: completely different vibe and a completely different skill set than

503
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: Greg Roman. You know, I also think they're going to

504
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 4: have to get serious about how they spend out there

505
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 4: a little bit too though, and they need some dude

506
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: to can separate, like, and they got one dude who

507
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: can separate, But it's fifty to fifty one. Who's going

508
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: to catch the ball? You know? I think Gads is

509
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: an interesting piece, but you know Lad mcconti and you

510
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: know Keenan Allen, like, I don't know, I'm a little redundant,

511
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 4: Like the offensive line. Are these tackles going to be

512
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 4: able to come back and be what they were? The interior?

513
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 4: That offensive line has been pretty suspect really for pre

514
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 4: dating even Hardball's arrivals. So it look if they lose

515
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: Jesse Mintter, and I I think they're losing Jesse Mintter,

516
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: then that becomes a big issue defensively as well, because

517
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 4: we saw what Brandon Staley could do with those pieces,

518
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: which is next to nothing, and Winter basically takes the

519
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 4: same defense and turned it in top five, you know,

520
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 4: but beware beware of Brian Daley two point oh. So

521
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: that's gonna be I think a difficult hire for them,

522
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: And maybe there's somebody on staff that they like and

523
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: maybe that'll work. But yeah, I like that fit with

524
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 4: with with Herbert a lot, and I can understand that

525
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: that's where Nick Daniel wanted to be. And you know,

526
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: we'll we'll see what they do here with with Lamar.

527
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: You mentioned, you know, him maybe being a fit with Lamar.

528
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: He certainly could have been a fit with Josh Allen. Yeah,

529
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to have designs on

530
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 4: bringing Kingsbury or Naggy in here with Lamar. I would

531
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: say that'd be pretty sure someone talks about that team

532
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 4: for hours a day. I would be here for it

533
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: because I think it'd be a disaster and they'll give

534
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: me no shortage things to talk about. I mean, I think, yeah,

535
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: I think that bring that on. I dare you, I

536
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: dare you.

537
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: Jason Locking for our guest, the Jason Smiths with Mike Carmon.

538
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: All Right, now, speaking of Baltimore, you add it up

539
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: close with John Harbaugh for the that are part of

540
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: the last two decades. Today introduced as a new head

541
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: coach of the Giants. Today, we're spending too much focus

542
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: on the hierarchy in Joe Shane's job as GM versus

543
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: my input as head coach. He wanted more, saying the roster.

544
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: It took a while to get this deal to go

545
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: down potentially because of the division of power between him

546
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: and Joe Shane. With everything that's gone on, what do

547
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: you make of what's happened with the Giants John Harbaugh

548
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: going forward.

549
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 4: Well, he took the money and not the power in Baltimore,

550
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 4: and he came to regret it. I told him that

551
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: a long time ago when that was happening. You know,

552
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 4: I think he had a chance to see things from

553
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: Eric Tacosta, and instead he decided to just take a

554
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 4: whole lot of money instead and take and keep reporting

555
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: independently to the owner and not push for a bigger

556
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 4: say in personnel. And I know there were various times

557
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 4: when he did push a little bit to bring personnel,

558
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 4: guys who he liked and respected into the building. And

559
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 4: every time he did that, Eric Acosta would get Ozzie

560
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: Newsom and some other people involved and say no, no, no,

561
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 4: you can't bring this person and you can't bring that

562
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 4: person in. And it was territorial. And you know, John

563
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: Harball's had multiple times now to throw a bouquet and

564
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: Eric Tacosta both in the long and lunchy email he

565
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: wrote on the way out of Baltimore. So with emojis

566
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 4: and everything else, and then you know up there in

567
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: New York and he ain't said boo about him, which

568
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 4: I think tells you all you need to know. So

569
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 4: he wasn't going to go through that again with a

570
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 4: young GM who's over his ski and doesn't know what

571
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: he's doing. And the costa's not even young anymore. But

572
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 4: he's only been at GM for four or five years,

573
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: and he should have fired when Harball was fired, said

574
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: he gets to hire his replacement because it's the NFL,

575
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 4: and it's good to be tight with the owner. But

576
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 4: he wasn't gonna, you know, he want to go for

577
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 4: the okidok again. So when you're the hottest guy out there,

578
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: the money you're obviously going to get. But I think

579
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 4: that division of labor and having the checks and balances

580
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 4: where I don't have to go through the GM to

581
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: get to the owner. And yeah, if they're the tie,

582
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: the tie goes in my favorite. Now, good on him,

583
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: he deserves it.

584
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: Jason, last one for you, how big is your over under?

585
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: Bet on jared'stead of torching the Patriots.

586
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know about torching the Patriots, but

587
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: I want to rewatch. Last night, I did a lot

588
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 4: of work on him, and I do watch the two

589
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: games who started with the Raiders and the two games

590
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: who started for the Broncos, and like, I think it's

591
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 4: going to be keeping simple stupid, you know. I think

592
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: he'll throw the ball to Ingram a Ton. I think

593
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 4: I'll throw the ball to Harvey a Ton. I think

594
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: he'll run more than you probably think he could run.

595
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 4: And I do think he can take that game close.

596
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: I think Sean Payton will have a plan. I don't

597
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 4: think they're going to win the game, and if they

598
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: have to play from behind, I think they could really

599
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: be in trouble. But I suspect they keep the close ish.

600
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: But in the end, bo Nix has an athletic factor

601
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: and an improbable factor in terms of his ability to

602
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 4: kind of make some things happen that I I don't think,

603
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 4: you know, Sinham can hit some of those high notes

604
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: and they don't run the ball super effectively, and I

605
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: think New England probably wins this game.

606
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason Lock and four that is

607
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: at Jason Lock and for one oh five seven the

608
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,680

615
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: Very excited about that happening to see.

616
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not, I'm not really, I'm not really.

617
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 5: I like when you can put up all the comparisons

618
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 5: of the quarterbacks in their years and there's a bunch

619
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 5: of man's.

620
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: It makes it makes it makes it easier for the

621
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: Patriots to win. It's just a while, dar No, it

622
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: may I'm not excited.

623
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: This is where Sean Payton can prove he's the super genius.

624
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: Everybody's told you.

625
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: All right, you're bringing me back a little bit. But still, yeah,

626
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: I'd rather have him.

627
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: Say I single handedly picked bo Nicks out of obscurity

628
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: and turned him into this champion. I'd rather hear that

629
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: because we've gotten that from him for the better part

630
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: of last year.

631
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: I knew he was.

632
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 8: The greatest quarterback you could ever get in the draft,

633
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 8: and that's why I picked Bo Nicks. In fact, if

634
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 8: you gave me a chance between bow Knicks and Tom

635
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 8: Brady at bart Starr, I would pick bon Nicks.

636
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: You want to do a cul de sac fake of.

637
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 5: How you jumped off that for a while and then

638
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 5: you came back, But Jared st did. If it's the

639
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 5: revenge game, man, he was the fourth round pick in

640
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen for the Patriots.

641
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: Let's go exit out by a Fresca exit swalling down

Speaker 3: One eight, one ten.

737
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 2: Maybe the Bulls are gonna be good again.

738
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: It was great when they started out so good. Then

739
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: they have sucked really bad. But now, so here's the thing.

740
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: Only one Chicago team can do well at a time.

741
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: So while things weren't going well for the Bears, hey,

742
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: the Bulls were good, then the Bear started to get

743
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: really good all of a sudden. Well, now the Bulls

744
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 1: got to suck for a while, but now your bear

745
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: season is over. And look at the Bulls winning this

746
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: game by twenty eight points. I think the Bulls might

747
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: be back, so I can abb and flow like the

748
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: stock market. Yeah there's balls.

749
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here we are with Kobe White the bus.

750
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: And then when the market is good, yeah, there is

751
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: when it sucks, right, because the Bulls are good.

752
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: Okay, got it? Got okay? Yeah, okay.

753
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams Pete Crow Armstrong continuing their post sure first

754
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 5: season hangs back to back night.

755
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a it's a Buddy cop.

756
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 5: Show hockey fall by some basketball. But yeah, twenty seven

757
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 5: points for White. He's the guy Kevin Durant keeps saying

758
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 5: is gonna be that guy, whether it's with the Bulls

759
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 5: or he escapes to another, you know better situation. Either way,

760
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 5: it was interesting when the UH Clippers did make a

761
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 5: run to make it a six point game, and then

762
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 5: it got back out to twenty real fast.

763
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, really really quickly, really quick.

764
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Hey, that's because all the Clippers got tired, because everybody's

765
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: forty years old. It's true, we got it to within six. Yeah,

766
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: but that's all we can get. I'm exhausted. Okay, jameson down, Yeah,

767
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna thanks for getting this lead Kintner of the close. Meanwhile,

768
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: uh yeah, the Knicks had a players only meeting after

769
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: getting pasted by the Mavericks last night, which a game.

770
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: Thankfully nobody saw this gameer talked about it because we

771
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: had the National championship game.

772
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely terrible.

773
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 5: It helped push it to the side. It was, I

774
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 5: mean like they were not from me because you got

775
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 5: a ball.

776
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: I mean they were losing.

777
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: Seventy five to forty at halftime right like this. They've

778
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: they're two and nine in their last eleven games, and

779
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I mean look, part of me

780
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: would say, surface see, hey, the Knicks are just trying

781
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: to realize how tough it is to repeat, right, to

782
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: go back to back championships. Some tides it a little

783
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: harder when you're thinking, oh, yeah, you sell out to win,

784
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: come on. But I gotta be honest, it's not Mike

785
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: Brown's faults.

786
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: Mike Brown's fault.

787
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Mike Brown is a pretty good defensive coach, and the

788
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: Knicks are terrible defensively. You have too many guys out there,

789
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: and by too many, I mean Jaylan and Karl Anthony Towns, that.

790
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 2: They're giving up big nights to teams.

791
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: That you would have banged up Mavericks team that just

792
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: welcome Cooper flag back and you were never close against them, right.

793
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: I get that part of it is we have to

794
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: go out and execute. But I've seen this next team

795
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: play defensively the last year and a half with the

796
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: same personnel when I'm under Tom Thibodeaux and now Mike Brown,

797
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: and they're just not good, right. I mean, it's a

798
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: collection of five star starters that get paid a lot

799
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: of money that boy, they're really good. But in the end,

800
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a big trade because this is the

801
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: year for the Knicks to get to the finals. I

802
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: don't care what Detroit is, what their record is, this

803
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: is their year to get there. Until other teams start reloading,

804
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: whether you're Boston or at and seeing Boston play well

805
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: and have a better record when they're missing their best player,

806
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that this Knicks starting five is good enough.

807
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: And honestly, I expect a big move by the deadline

808
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: one or two of the high prof prime profile, high

809
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: priced guys. Karl Anthony Towns is gonna wind up getting traded.

810
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the honest, maybe it's something else, but they're

811
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: not gonna get to the to the trading deadline in

812
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks, and it's gonna be Yeah,

813
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: we're good, I know, James don't said we're good enough

814
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: as it is. No, they're gonna need a new mix.

815
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna need something else. They gotta get better defensively.

816
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: Offensively they're gonna be fine, but defensively they really stink.

817
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only problem about Knicks, all right,

818
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: the one problem really stink.

819
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: And Brunston and.

820
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns together it's not great. And Karl Anthony

821
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: Towns has never fit in to be the true one

822
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: a where where he's consistent every single night and he's

823
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: the guy that's gonna bring the most trade value. So

824
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the Knicks make a big move I

825
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: guarantee you at the deadline, and it's gonna be a

826
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: couple new mix of players coming in. They're gonna stay deep,

827
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be another time with the Knick springboard.

828
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fun subplot to it all. To some degree,

829
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 5: you just wonder if it isn't the as Jimmy Butler

830
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 5: posted on his Socials game forty four of eight two

831
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 5: or thereabouts, right where we look at your third in

832
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 5: the standings. It's just a long slug with the short

833
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 5: depth in rotation that you have, So those defensive inadequacies

834
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 5: are just gonna be multiplied at this point in the

835
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 5: schedule as you race to the All Star break, and

836
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 5: then you come back down the other side when you've

837
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 5: got days off and everything. During a playoff series, you

838
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 5: can manage to this right, slow the game down, you

839
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 5: change it up a bit. But for Kat Yeah, he's

840
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 5: back on the back page of the Fish Rap as

841
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 5: the guy to blame in all this players only meeting,

842
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 5: and then every rumor becomes the all right, here's what

843
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 5: this team can offer for cat Yeah.

844
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's it's gonna be a time where

845
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a high profile player, high priced player,

846
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: but you gotta trades up. But they have salary to trade,

847
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: so it's okay. I would assume Brunson and Unbi Hart

848
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: are gonna be the safe ones. The everybody else is

849
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: gonna be out there maybe you know, I don't know,

850
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: maybe the mix Mitchell Robinson something, but it's gonna be

851
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: a new mix because defensively and Mitchell Robinson's great defensive.

852
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to give up one of those Glub guys.

853
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 5: Something happened, but something's gotta give. You can't give this

854
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 5: season away because this is your year. Maybe it turns

855
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 5: out maybe at the end, I'll see maybe last year

856
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 5: was the year. Maybe the ist was they.

857
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the only title you ever celebrate.

858
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, then we're definitely gonna hang a banner on that.

859
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.

860
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 4: Uh.
