Jesse Minder, 10 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: new coach of the Ravens, will be stopping by. I 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: think he's one of the four coaching hires John Harbass, Defanski, 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Robert Salad, Jesse Mintter. Those four I feel very very 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: strongly about everything else Dice roll, So I want to 14 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: start with this. Whenever there's a big, big, big story, 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: a controversy, there's two or three or for columnists in 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: the country or reporters, I lean on and make sure 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: I read their columns for some contextualization. Ian O'Connor is 18 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: probably my most consistent columnist I trust for perspective, and 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: I read his story at The Athletic this morning about 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: Belichick being snubbed in the Hall of Fame, and sure 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: enough multiple sources saying it is spygate. Spygate. Some did 22 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: bring up, according to the article, that he won forty 23 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: five percent of his games without Brady and often was embarrassing, 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: But it was overwhelmingly, according to multiple sources, spygate that 25 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,919 Speaker 1: kept him out for a year. Okay, so once again 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: I will say, nobody kicked Bill out of the Hall 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: of Fame, and nobody is banning him forever. He is 28 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: getting a brief slap on the wrist for not just 29 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: one spy gate. I think many of you have forgotten 30 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: there were two spygates, both times New England had to 31 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: surrender excellent draft picks. Ask yourself this, folks, when's the 32 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: last time your favorite team lost a first round pick 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: or a third or your coach was fined a million dollars? Oh? 34 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: The answers never. The NFL doesn't do that, and they 35 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: don't like to do that to the reigning dynasty at 36 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: the time. But what is amazing to me about yesterday's 37 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: reaction to Belichick? I find this funny. I was at 38 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: the other network for most of the Dynasty. I stopped 39 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: taking phone calls on it. You couldn't take a Patriot call. 40 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: Everybody constantly said you can't trust these guys, and Gate this, 41 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: and Gate that, you can't trust ninety nine percent of 42 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: the people that weren't Patriot fans always labeled them cheaters. 43 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: And yet yesterday those same fans are outraged that the 44 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: voters listened to you and said, we're gonna We're gonna 45 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: punish him, not the whole team, not Brady, not Craft. 46 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: We're got punished Bill, who you know is the CEO 47 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: of the football operation. We're gonna punish him, probably for 48 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: a year. Gotta sleep on the couch. Seth Wickersham, great 49 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: reporter at the other place ESPN, talked about spygate and 50 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: why that was the problem for some of the voters, 51 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: not all. 52 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: Some Look, they were taping it from the illegal location 53 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: for seven years before they got caught. You know, the 54 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: league had sent Belichick three letters warning him to stop, 55 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: and he didn't do it. 56 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: So there was like. 57 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: An entire perception that the league was covering up and 58 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: swept all this stuff under the rug for Belichick and 59 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: for Robert Kraft. You know, we wrote about Bill Pollian 60 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: in the article. You know, those teams that had to 61 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: compete against Belichick haven't forgotten those things. 62 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: Nor would they ever, nor would you. Patriots won a 63 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: lot of close games and had multiple six and seven 64 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: figure finds for the coach lost a first round pick, 65 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: a couple of those, a third round pick. He's going 66 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: to get in. This is not Pete Rose. But can 67 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: we go to this excuse? I heard a lot yesterday. 68 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: Everybody does it. So if you got pulled over on 69 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: the road, you had a couple of cocktails and the 70 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: cop pulls you over, you're a little tipsy. You turn 71 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: to the cop, roll down the window and go hey, 72 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody does it. Would he say be on 73 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: your way? If you were audited by the IRS, a 74 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 1: couple of IRS agents come into your business, open that file, 75 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: cabinet or you know that disc that file and you 76 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: just said, hey, listen, I know it looks a little shady, 77 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: but uh, everybody does it. Would they just walk out 78 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: and go be on your way? Keep doing what you do, folks. 79 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: It was called an illegal an illegal taping operation. That's 80 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: not what I'm calling it. That's what the league called it. 81 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: The everybody does it excuse makes you and I sleep better. 82 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: That doesn't get you past a governing body. A sanctioning body, 83 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: a cop on the freeway after a couple of brus 84 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: past the IRS agents. You know, there's a reason guys 85 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: sleep on the couch. Everybody doesn't pass a smell test 86 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: at home either. It just makes you sleep a little better. 87 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: So when an NFL franchise is levied huge seven figure 88 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: finds and loses first round picks and a third round pick, 89 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: I think it's reasonable. Reasonable. I'm not saying it's right 90 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: or wrong. It's reasonable to push the pause button for 91 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: a year. For the record, Jim Harball was banned for 92 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: an illegal taping operation for fourteen years by the NCAA. 93 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: The everybody does it excuse and I think fourteen years 94 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. And I do think everybody in college to 95 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: some degree does it. The NCAA, that cop on the freeway, 96 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: your wife, the IRS agent, the Hall of Fame voters, 97 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: they don't care. Not everybody ends up in Super Bowls. 98 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: So we were talking to the staff this morning. It 99 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: was kind of funny. We were talking about Sam Darnald 100 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: wins his Super Bowl. You know, everybody always likes to 101 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: do tiers and lists for quarterbacks. Hell do you do 102 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold? So of the many quality things about him. 103 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: Good guy, tough, big arm, athletic, still only twenty eight 104 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: team friendly deal, not much of a cap hit. The 105 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: other thing is he stays healthy. Joe Burrow doesn't. Rock 106 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: Purty doesn't. Lamar Jackson's missed an entire year of games 107 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: in his career. He is almost always healthy. What's funny 108 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: about the quarterback position? If you take out Josh Allen, 109 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: Just take out Josh Allen, superman six six, two fifty, 110 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: unbelievably mobile, huge arm. Is there any quarterback in the 111 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: league you're absolutely sure is going to win double digit 112 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: games next year? I mean, I love Drake May He's 113 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: got more turnovers and touchdowns in the playoffs so far. 114 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: He's still learning on the job. I love Caleb Williams. 115 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: What's his career completion percentage? He's still growing. I mean again, 116 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, what about him? He's going to be a 117 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: massive cap hit. He misses games regularly. He and Harbaugh 118 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: apparently had a riff, and let's be honest. Without big 119 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: cap hit, Baltimore's roster is going to be as thin 120 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: as it can be. So I'm thinking about Sam Darnold. 121 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: If you tank Josh Allen at Well, what about Mahomes? 122 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: What about him? He's not in the playoffs? The old 123 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: line and run game weekend? Well, what about Joe Burrow? 124 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: Not in the playoffs? War not in the playoffs? Justin 125 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: Herbert performs badly in the playoffs. I love Matt Stafford. 126 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: So do you turns thirty eight in a week? Not 127 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: mobile zero playoff wins in Detroit thirteen years. I think 128 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: the truth about Sam Darnold is the truth about this 129 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: position is that we look up, we worship, we make 130 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: him into Superman. Outside of Josh Allen, you're as good 131 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: as your coach, your coordinator, and your supporting cast. I 132 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: love Drake. May you think he's in a super Bowl 133 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: if he goes to the Jets. I love Sam Darnold. 134 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: You think he's here if he goes to Cleveland? Now 135 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: we've already seen him with the Jets. Here's Jimmy Johnson 136 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: on Donald the ascension and what we know about him now. 137 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: He doesn't have to carry that team on his shoulders. 138 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: At Carolina, he had to carry that football team. He 139 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: couldn't do it because he turned it over. Now he 140 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 4: knows he's got a great defense. He knows that he 141 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 4: can be patient, take his time, take the checkdowns, you know, 142 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: throw it here every now and then, take a shut 143 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 4: down the field. So I think the experience that he had, 144 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 4: and the team that he's with and the coaching that 145 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: he's getting allowed him to be a great player. 146 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's crazy to say that Sam 147 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: Darnold hoists a trophy. You gotta put him in the 148 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: top ten. If you think I'm wrong, consider this. The 149 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: Vikings were seven and ten before he arrived, fourteen and 150 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: three during and mediocre again this year at nine and eight. 151 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: The Seahawks had no playoff wins for eight years. Donald 152 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: arrives with the second youngest roster, They're in a Super Bowl. 153 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: They had a middle of the pack offense. It's now 154 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: top three. I can give you his last two teams 155 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: kind of average or below average before he gets there, 156 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: not great offensively before he gets there, amazing when he's there. 157 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Seems like to me, hoisting a trophy in about ten 158 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: twelve days. Have to reconsider where we put him. J 159 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: Mac jesse mentor stopping by in Greg Cosel there. You 160 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. You hinted on the Yawnie deal, 161 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: which is becoming a massive deal. And you know in 162 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: this coaching search there is one a crazy story going 163 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: on in Philadelphia. Yeah, where they can't find they cannot 164 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: find the coordinator. 165 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think we talked about it. 166 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 6: Who wants to work for Sirianni when that guy's gonna 167 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 6: be on the hot seat all season? I know you 168 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 6: want to make it about Jalen Hurts. I'm very excited 169 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 6: to hear that, because you know Jalen Hurts. Last year 170 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 6: Colum won the Super Bowl was a Super Bowl MVP. 171 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 6: I don't recall hearing any top ten chatter out of 172 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 6: you after Hurts last year. 173 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: Well, you can't see over the middle of the field. 174 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,119 Speaker 1: There is an issue. 175 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 176 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: and Noone Easter non a em Pacific on Fox Sports 177 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app. 178 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 7: Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben 179 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 7: Maller with me and a lot to have you joined 180 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 7: us on our weekly auditory journey.

Listen to the 187 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 7: Fifth Hour with Ben Mather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple 188 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 7: Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. 189 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: You're now entering the No Bull Zone sponsored by Credible 190 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: Great Rates. None of the bull. There's a headline by 191 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter today, Nick Serianum and the Eagles have a 192 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: backup planet. They can't find an offensive coordinator worthy of 193 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: the job. So this is the downside to having a 194 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: hyper aggressive general manager. Howie Roseman, Why would you move 195 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: your family cross country? You could get whacked in a year. 196 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: I mean, when you're an OC for the Eagles, you 197 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: either get a great head coaching opportunity or you get fired. 198 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: Most of these guys are married with kids. You want 199 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: to pull your kids out of school? You want to 200 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: move them cross country to Philadelphia. Don't know, get ripped. 201 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's like being a political candidate in a 202 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: major city. Get ripped every day on radio. Family goes 203 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: through that kind of stuff. So that's the downside to 204 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: Howie Roseman. I mean, you could be a one year, 205 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: nine month coordinator. The second thing is, you know Nick 206 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: Sirianni is one of those rare head coaches with a 207 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: winning record but not necessarily a winning reputation. Is that 208 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: when Jim Harbaugh opened up his offensive coordinator job, everybody 209 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: in the league calls, you get big, strong, mobile, accurate 210 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: justin Herbert, and you get Jim Harbaugh. Philadelphia, which makes 211 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: a habit of winning Super Bowls and winning playoff games, 212 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: even if Nick Foles is your quarterback, they can't find one. Well, 213 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel was the number one offensive coordinator candidate. Harbaugh 214 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: took the job because of Herbert. Mike McDaniel took the 215 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: job because of Herbert and hardball, and the Eagles can't 216 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: find a coordinator. And I think a lot of it 217 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: is people don't necessarily trust Nick Sirianni to get out 218 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: of this mess. You have aj Brown drama. You know 219 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: Herbert's issues last year, he needs healthy offensive tackles. Jalen 220 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Hurts issues the last couple of years. He can't see 221 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. There is a sense that 222 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: some of his issues are not correctable. So offensive coordinator 223 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia Eagles is one of those sounds great jobs, 224 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: but you know, do you want to move your family 225 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: cross country to a market you don't know to probably 226 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: the hardest job in football. I mean again, offensive coordinators 227 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: the good one in this league. You know, they're kind 228 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: of thirty four, thirty five, thirty six defensive guys, Vic Fangio. 229 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: They are defensive coordinators that are older guys. A lot 230 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: of the top OC's. You know, you're Clint Kubiaks, Kyle 231 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: Shanahan several years ago. They're the young guys right that 232 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: RAMS coach. It's interviewed in Cleveland for a while. They're 233 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: like kids. So I think it's a high intensity, high pressure, 234 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: little payoff. And by the way, if they do win, 235 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: Sirianni gets the credit. You don't get it. Here is 236 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni talking about them not landing in OC still yet. 237 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 8: As the head coach, you always have to be oversight 238 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 8: of everything. And again this year obviously I did. I 239 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 8: got involved more in the offense as the end of 240 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 8: the season came because that's what I needed to do 241 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 8: as the head football coach there. And so yeah, again, 242 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 8: many different ways to do it. You know, I know 243 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 8: that I want to be the head football coach. You know, 244 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 8: I think it's best for the football team when I'm 245 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 8: the head football coach. 246 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: Well, Also, when you did call plays early on, it 247 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: didn't work. It worked when Shane Steiken arrived and Kellen 248 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: Moore arrived. So this is an organization that is very 249 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: coordinate or dependent. The Rams aren't, the Niners aren't. Philadelphia 250 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: is highly coordinator dependent, at least on the offensive side 251 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: of the ball. Usually, when you have an offensive coach, 252 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if the coordinator leaves. I mean mcveigh's 253 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: run through them. It doesn't matter Kevin O'Connell, Zach Taylor, 254 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: they leave, you're fine. So Philadelphia is in a weird 255 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: space where they have an offensive coach who usually is 256 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: dependent on the defensive side to get the coordinator right, 257 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: he's dependent on the offensive side. Jmack with the news. 258 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: No, no, no, turn on the news. This is the 259 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: headline news. 260 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 5: All right, let's start with the Raiders, Colin. 261 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 6: They are still searching for a head coach, and according 262 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 6: to a report, they're going to have a second interview 263 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 6: with Seahawks OC Clint Kubiak on Saturday. Kubiak also in 264 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 6: the mix of the Arizona Cardinals head coaching job. 265 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 5: Obviously you can't be. 266 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 6: Hired until after the Super Bowl, which implicates matters. 267 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 5: So one of these teams is kind of going to 268 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 5: get shafted. Cardinals or Raiders. 269 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: Well, I mean the Raiders is a better job. 270 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 5: Yes, I would agree with you. 271 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 6: I think Kubiak probably picks the Raiders tougher division. But 272 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 6: you get Mendoza, you get a lot of cats. 273 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: They I don't know if it is a tougher division. 274 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: I think that it's the two toughest divisions you're either 275 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: going to face, you know, Sean McVay, right, Mike McDonald, 276 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan or Jim Harbaugh, Andy Reid and Sean pay 277 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: Those are the two best coach divisions. So but the 278 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: difference is the Raiders, if Colton Miller comes back at 279 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: left tackle, Brock Bauers, Ashton genty. Remember last year with Spytech, 280 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: the new the new GM, they had a boatload of picks, 281 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: and I think they really liked some of their defensive picks. 282 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: So you're going to add Mendoza, and remember they've got 283 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: multiple picks at the top of rounds, they can move 284 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: back and accumulate more picks. I actually think that if 285 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: if you're giving me, I've told you before, Harbaugh is 286 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: the best higher I do think Jesse Mintor, Robert Sala 287 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: and Stefanski eventually work where they land. This feels pretty 288 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: promising to me. This would give me a passing grade. 289 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: There's a couple I don't like. This feels pretty solid 290 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: to me. 291 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: I would agree. 292 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 6: You do need to see multiple years of success before you. 293 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 6: You know, Robert Sala, we've seen him. He's I mean, 294 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 6: the guy's been awesome for like five years. Kobiac, I 295 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 6: mean it was very good this year, not taking anything away. 296 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 5: Offense, look good. Sam Donald looked like you know your guy. 297 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 6: Sam Donald looked like a stud, a top ten quarterback 298 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 6: thanks to Kobiac. 299 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 5: So overall, hopefully. 300 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 6: The Raiders get him all right, Colin, this next story 301 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 6: is a little troubling. I need you to, you know, 302 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 6: control your emotions here. But there's a rift between bow 303 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 6: Nicks and Sean Payton. This is not good and Denver 304 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 6: fans are panicking. So Earlier this week, Sean Payton talked 305 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 6: about the bow Nicks injury that he suffered at the 306 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 6: end of the Bills game and said the injury was 307 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 6: predisposed and it was just as a matter of if 308 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 6: not when that's that's very weird wording for your quarterback 309 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 6: and an injury. So then yesterday bon Nicks and it 310 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 6: seems like he specifically was upset and let everybody know, Hey, 311 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 6: I want to talk about the injury, and here's bon 312 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 6: Nicks talking to the media downplaying his injury. 313 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 9: Nothing predisposed, nothing that was there Originally I might have 314 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 9: gotten confused, but you know, it's just a simple step 315 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 9: with my foot up in the air. My body weight 316 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 9: came down on it, didn't have any predisposed issues, and 317 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 9: my ankles were filling really good. I don't think he 318 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 9: really should share how many surgeries I've had in the past, 319 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 9: to be honest with you, but because I don't, you know, 320 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 9: he doesn't really even know that. But I think it's 321 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 9: gonna be good, you know, to get back, get to work, 322 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 9: start from ground zero. 323 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 8: Zero. 324 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: He do you think that's a riff? 325 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, bon Nix came out and said, I 326 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 6: don't think he should be sharing how many surgeries I've had, 327 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 6: and he specifically contradicted words that Peyton used. 328 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 5: Predisposed not a matter of. 329 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 6: If not when I mean Peyton's making him sound like 330 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 6: a fragile quarterback who's had a billion injuries, and bo 331 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 6: Knicks is like, that's not me. 332 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 5: Now, some Broncos fans are looking back to like, well. 333 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 6: In high school, Bo Knicks had this and in college 334 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 6: at auburny very bizarre situation. I could just be you know, 335 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 6: Peyton is a dry humor kind of guy. Well maybe 336 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 6: he was trying to be for I don't know. 337 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't think every disagreement is a rift. I don't. 338 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: My take is I try to stay out of guessing 339 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: surgeries because I don't think people have any idea. I 340 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: mean Travis Kelcey said last year, I've had ten surgeries. 341 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: I thought he had one. I mean Mark Schlereth had thirty. 342 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: That's what Mark Schlarra said. I think a lot of 343 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: these NFL guys, especially now, get cleaned up in the 344 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: off season. So I think Sean Payton probably you know, 345 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: they always say they're industries, you know, you you know, 346 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: don't talk about guys injuries. Basically, it's, first of all, 347 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: it's incredibly personal. I mean, there's hippo laws in some businesses. 348 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: The other thing is, I think people get cleaned up 349 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: all the time and I don't even like and I've 350 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: told you this one of the things. There's two things 351 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: about the NFL that I would get rid of preseason. 352 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: College doesn't have one of their kids. You don't need preseason. 353 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: I think it's just bad optics. I think it's another 354 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: chance for people to get hurt. I would get rid 355 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: of preseason. I've said that forever. The other thing is 356 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't announce the injuries of players. I worry a 357 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: great deal if you know somebody's got a bad knee, 358 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: then an outside linebacker is going for your knee. I 359 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: don't think that stuff should be published. I don't want 360 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: my coach talking about any of the injuries on the team. 361 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, the injury reports are huge for fantasy and gambling, 362 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 6: which are major driving factors in the NFL. 363 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 5: I mean, you take those. 364 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 6: Away and it's like, not great, So you got to 365 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 6: keep the injury reports. I just I'm with you, though, 366 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 6: I agree you need to talk about how many surgeries 367 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 6: the guys had, or if he was predisposed for anything. 368 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 6: Now there are seven months before or eight months before 369 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 6: he played. 370 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: Started sixty one college games being tackled, and he's now 371 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: in his second year. I would be shocked if Bo 372 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: Knicks hadn't had two surgeries. I mean, go back to 373 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: his first high school snap until today. He's a professional 374 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: and high end college player. If he didn't have a 375 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: couple of, you know, a surgery or two, I would 376 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: be shocked. And I think, you know, over the course 377 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: of time. I mean Peyton Manning had several. I didn't 378 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: know about him. I knew about one. So I think 379 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: the average NFL player, I think the average baseball player 380 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: is getting stuff cleaned up in off seasons. Once you 381 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: get to like twenty eight, twenty nine. The wear and 382 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: tear pro athletes have on their body, the travel, the intensity, 383 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: the workouts, these guys don't take time off anymore. 384 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, and remember Bo Knicks played it literally every snap 385 00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 6: of the last two seasons. 386 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 5: Stidham only came down for kneel downs. Yeah, he didn't 387 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 5: come in and throw the ball. So just a weird donation. 388 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: Look, I went and looked at his career. I do 389 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: not see bow Knicks as an I think I defend 390 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Burrow has an injury history. You could argue 391 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's injury prone. I could argue that with Brock 392 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: Purty you can't argue that with bow Nicks. I went 393 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: back and looked at his college when this came out 394 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: four or five days ago. Bow Knicks is a baller, 395 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: gets hit, He's athletic. His faster and more athletic than him. 396 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't think injuries are apart. I've never even thought 397 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: that with bo Nicks, and I've thought that with a 398 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks that I like. 399 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 5: All right, final story, Let's go to the NBA. 400 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 6: Last night, Lebron returned to Cleveland for perhaps the final 401 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 6: time in his career. Yeah, the Lakers lost, but nobody 402 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 6: cares about that. In a moment before the game, there 403 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 6: was a video tribute to Lebron and Colin. 404 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 5: He got like emotional. Yeah, it was actually pretty cool. 405 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, listen, I love you know. I'm a 406 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 6: big Lebron guy. I think he's a great athlete, everything 407 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 6: he stands for. Just the way watching him get emotional 408 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 6: during this tribute, I think it's over. I think this 409 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 6: is going to be his final year unless he takes 410 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 6: a big pay cut. And do you see Lebron taking 411 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 6: a big Bay cut? 412 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's harder than you think. 413 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: I think when I went and watched him the other 414 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: night in Chicago. He bullied his way to twenty points, 415 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: and he could do that for the next several years. 416 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: He is so much bigger and stronger than guards and 417 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: forwards in this league, in almost all centers, and I mean, 418 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, I listen, he has been. I 419 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: know he's polarizing, but by and large, it's it's I mean, 420 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: it's probably his last game in Cleveland. 421 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 6: Wait, I told him how polarize? Yeah, what did Lebron 422 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 6: do to be polarizing? I mean, he's just a great, 423 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 6: phenomenal athlete. 424 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 1: If you if you ever mentioned politics, there was I mean, 425 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: come on. He's also been a little, I would say, 426 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: a little thirsty on social media through the years, a 427 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: little thirsty. But you know again, I think he's the 428 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: I think he does more things well than any basketball 429 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: player I've ever seen, and I've been watching the league 430 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy two seventy three. I think I think 431 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: he does more things well. I think Jordan was a 432 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: more ferocious offensive player. I think Jokic is maybe the 433 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: most versatile guy beyond Lebron I've ever seen. But there's 434 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: I don't Magic Johnson didn't lay that level of defense, 435 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: did not have that physicality, and magic is great. So 436 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: I think, I mean it's listen, when I went to 437 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: the Bulls game, he was the most popular guy in 438 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: the arena. It wasn't really that close. He still commands 439 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: an audience. Jmack with the news. 440 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping. That's the 441 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 2: herd line news. 442 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of that, So about three years ago, if you're 443 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: thinking of trading somebody in the NBA, you're always better 444 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: to do it quickly and quietly. The longer you wait, 445 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: especially for big men, you can get in trouble because 446 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: big men get hurt early and often. So according to 447 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: a story, Jannis from the Bucks is ready to be 448 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: dealt and the Bucks are now ready to listen to offers. 449 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: So we've been on this for three years and Milwaukee 450 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: fans are calling a clickbait. Okay, he's now thirty one 451 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: with several injuries. That's the first thing. Number two is 452 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: he can't shoot. And two years ago, maybe three, the 453 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: league has gone all in on three pointers. There's ae 454 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: hundred three pointer shot in multiple games. 455 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 8: Now. 456 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't like that three four years ago. Also, the 457 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: NBA has become much less transactional because of multiple aprons 458 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: and prohibitive factors to making trades that it was three 459 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: years ago. So you know, it's like asking for a 460 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, a twenty eighteen tax deduction on your twenty 461 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: twenty six taxes. That puppy doesn't exist anymore. So I 462 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: thought a twenty seven, twenty eight year old Yannis before 463 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: the league just became all threes and it was moving 464 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: in that direction three years ago. I think with the 465 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: new aprons, the prohibitive factors, you're still gonna be able 466 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: to sell him. Because the Knicks, because they changed coaches 467 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: and they've struggled. I think James Dolan would pull the 468 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: trigger on a move because he's getting hammered for the 469 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: coaching TIBs to Mike Brown move. And I think the Warriors, 470 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: desperate to finish off the great Steph Curry's career, also 471 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: would give up a ton. But he's having multiple caft strains. 472 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't shoot in a three and D league. He 473 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: is also hyper athletic, and you know, and I know 474 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: how hyper athletic guys Age kd could play for nine 475 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: more years. He's a catch and shoot guy. The other 476 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: thing what's happened in the NBA, and I think there's 477 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: now so much data on it. Who are the four 478 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: best bigs in the league? Embi wemby Jannis Jokic, you 479 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: got about forty years of service and two titles. The 480 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: The NBA does not go through big men anymore. Think 481 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: about how dominant Jokic is. They got they got one ring, 482 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna end up doing fine in Milwaukee. 483 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: I think they would have done much better two years ago. 484 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: And the other thing is, I can like a player, 485 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: but culture's change. How valuable is he now? You say 486 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: to yourself, well, he's still great. Three years in a row, 487 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: first round exits in the East. The East is bad. 488 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: I mean the East outside of Detroit. I mean the 489 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: Celtics without Tatum aren't the same team in the East. 490 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: Three years in a row bounced. So in the West, 491 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: what does that even mean? Is that? Is that making 492 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs in the West? So I mean, I will 493 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: say this, Oklahoma City is a small market, but Sam 494 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: Presty takes big swings around corners. They operate like a 495 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: big market team. Oklahoma City plays much bigger than the 496 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: market size. Milwaukee feels like a small market, terrified to 497 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: lose their guy, terrified to lose their star. So I 498 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: think they've waited a long time. Miami's interested, Golden State 499 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: is interested, the Knicks are interested. I don't believe at 500 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: this point Jannis gets you titles. I think he'll make 501 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: the Warriors better. I think he's better than Kat for 502 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: the nixt He may actually New York's probably the best 503 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: place because Brunson is a very ball centric player who 504 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: can hit from the outside. Jannis won't need the ball 505 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: quite as much. He'll take care of the inturn interior work, 506 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: and Yannis is a much much better defender. Brunson's not 507 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: a good defender. He's a great, great leader, he's a 508 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: great scorer, He's a great finisher. I love Brunson, my 509 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: favorite Nick next to you in you know, in the year. 510 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 1: I love Brunson, but he's a liability on the defensive end, 511 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: so is Kat. You can pick and roll those guys 512 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: to death. So Jonathan New York makes a ton of sense. 513 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: Golden State. What do the Warriors have that I want? 514 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, you know, he keeps telling me on 515 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Kaminga. The Warriors can't get rid of them. Fast enough, 516 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: so I don't know what you have. The Cleveland Browns 517 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: have a new coach. Jesse Mentor is the Ravens new 518 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: guy that this feels like to me one of the 519 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: jobs that works. I think Sala and Brian Dabole in 520 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: tennessee's really really good. Harbaugh obviously, I don't know if 521 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: he wins immediately. Kevin Stefanski in Atlanta feels like it's 522 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: gonna work. Jesse Mintter going back to the organization that 523 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: he succeeded at, it feels like it works to me. 524 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: And he's next to Herd. 525 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 526 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: and neon Eastern non a Empacific. 527 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: Well, I think, I don't. I I can't speak for women, 528 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: but I can speak for guys that most of us 529 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: have role models in our life. It could be your father. 530 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: When I was a young broadcaster, I wanted to be 531 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Bob Costas or Al Michaels. And our next guest is 532 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: a young guy who has worked with Jim Harbaugh and 533 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh and Mike McDonald. And there's a lot of 534 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: people to glean information from. His name is Jesse Mentor, 535 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: and he turned the Chargers defense around in about forty minutes. 536 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: He is the new coach of the Baltimore Ravens, And 537 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: first of all, congratulations, that's a pretty good gig. I've 538 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: said this before, Jesse. I think the Ravens, there's an 539 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: argument it is the best run organization in the NFL. 540 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: So you got yourself one heck of a job. If 541 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: I said to you, Jesse, I'd never seen a Jim 542 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: Harbaugh team, and I said, Jesse, I've heard about this guy. 543 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: What is the one guiding principle that you take from 544 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and go man? Jim Harbaugh does this exceptionally well. 545 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think Jim empowers the players really well to 546 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 10: create an identity of team football, and so you know, 547 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 10: he kind of allows the players to be themselves, but 548 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 10: there's this understanding that we're all after the same thing, 549 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 10: we all have the same goals, and so we're willing 550 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 10: to kind of put some things aside sometimes and play 551 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 10: as a team and do things like that. I think 552 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 10: that's definitely the one identity that I'll certainly try to 553 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 10: take from Jim. 554 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: Okay, John Horball, they're similar, but they're also in some 555 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: ways dissimilar. Is there something from John Harball that was 556 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: different than that that you appreciated. You know. 557 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 10: I think John when when I first got here, maybe 558 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 10: different because I was in a different role, but he 559 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 10: really empowered a lot of a lot of the coaching 560 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 10: staff and even younger guys on the staff like I 561 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 10: was when I first got here, and so there was 562 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 10: just an ability to grow, an ability to be forward thinking, 563 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 10: an ability to be creative amongst the staff. And I 564 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 10: really look forward to kind of being that type of 565 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 10: head coach where you're really you're always trying to find 566 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 10: better ways to do things. You're always looking for the next, 567 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 10: the next great thing, and research and studying and doing 568 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 10: things like that. 569 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 5: So learned a lot about. 570 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 10: John of just empowering the staff to always really be 571 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 10: trying to find that next great, next great idea. 572 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: So it's interesting. As a defensive guy, I've said for years, 573 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: I've said, listen, if I have a choice, I want 574 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: my coach to be young and preferably offense. But I've 575 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: also acknowledged that Demiko Ryans is great. We heard I 576 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: heard that in San Francisco when he was quality control guy. 577 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: They're like, this guy is going to be a stud 578 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: We heard it about you. We heard it about Mike McDonald. 579 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: How do you, as a defensive guy come into the 580 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: operation in an offensive league where the rules all favor 581 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: of the offense. How do you build the toughness on 582 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: that defense and the culture knowing that it's now mostly 583 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: it feels like a little bit of an offensive league. 584 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, I would just say, look at the two teams 585 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 10: still playing. 586 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 5: Right now, that's sort of how they operate. 587 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 10: When you look at how Seattle's built and how they're playing, 588 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 10: when you look at New England and how they're playing, 589 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 10: I think it's teams that play great defense. It's how 590 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 10: you train, it's how you the process is that you 591 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 10: create to be really good, and the standards that you create. 592 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 10: I feel like we kind of did that defensively in 593 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 10: LA the last couple of years. Yeah, And so it's 594 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 10: about creating beliefs and goals what you're trying to achieve, 595 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 10: and then most importantly, creating standards of how you operate 596 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 10: that match those goals of what you're trying to achieve. 597 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 10: And I still think defense wins championships. I do agree 598 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 10: with you at times it feels like an offensive league. 599 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 10: But I think when you have when you have great 600 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 10: players on offense like we have, and now you can 601 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 10: match that with hopefully the best defense in the NFL. 602 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 10: Think we can do some special things. 603 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: The I mean, you turn the Chargers around immediately. So 604 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is an all time talent. When you have 605 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: a guy like a Josh Allen, Listen, Justin Herbert, Caleb Williams, 606 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: great May where you're like, Okay, these guys can do 607 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: a lot. They can go scripted, they can go off platform, 608 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: they can go off script. What is the balance with 609 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: Lamar to let Lamar be Lamar but play within a 610 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: structure you're comfortable with. Yeah. 611 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 2: I think that's a great point. 612 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 10: I think you want the structured plays to work really 613 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 10: well and to be really an offense that he feels 614 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 10: great about and that he feels like he's thriving in 615 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 10: and that you're making plays comfortable for him, stuff that 616 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 10: he's really good at. And then I think those unstructured plays, 617 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 10: I mean, that's where that's where he's the best in 618 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 10: the world. That's where his instincts are able to take over. 619 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 10: He's able to make throws, runs, everything every which way. 620 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 10: But I really think it's the structure plays that we 621 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 10: need to really make sure we're tight and really make 622 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 10: sure there are things that he's familiar with and really 623 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 10: good at and willing to grow with. And I know 624 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 10: he's super excited about where we're headed on offense, and 625 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 10: I look forward to seeing him driving our offense. 626 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: Whether you play a team or not during a seat 627 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: And you see a lot of teams on film, like 628 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the Patriots. So when when you look 629 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: at our super Bowl, all the film you've looked at 630 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: this year, whether you play a team or you see 631 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: him playing somebody else, you see film of thirty two, 632 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: you see film that everybody. Are you shocked the Seahawks 633 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: and the Patriots got here? If not, why. 634 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 10: I'm not shocked Seattle. You know, Mike's a dear friend 635 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 10: of mine. I kind of know his mentality and how 636 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 10: he's built that team. Took over a lot of really 637 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 10: good young defensive players that are now you know, growing 638 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 10: up and in their second year, and so they have 639 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 10: great talent on that side of the ball. They made 640 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 10: they made, you know, organizational decision with Sam Darnold that's 641 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 10: paid off for them and the type of offense that 642 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 10: they're running. So not surprised at all, and the same 643 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 10: thing with New England. In tons of respect for Mike Grabel. 644 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 10: Josh McDaniels getting him back as the offensive coordinator I 645 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 10: think was a huge, huge development for Drake as a 646 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 10: young player. We played them in the first round, YEP. 647 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 10: And so no surprise, no surprise that those two teams 648 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 10: are playing. Think it'll be a heck of a matchup 649 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 10: for the fans to watch. 650 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: All right, head coach the Baltimore Ravens, it's a big 651 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: boy job. This is a This is a to me, 652 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: a blue blood, gold standard San Francisco forty nine Ers 653 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: Eagles Ravens. This this excellence. I mean, John Harball was 654 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: a great coach and they moved on. 655 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 2: It is a It is. 656 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: A how do you set that culture day one? How 657 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: do you comment, by the way, because the last guy 658 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: was good, this thing's not bottomed out. You have a 659 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: roster that can win a Super Bowl next year? How 660 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: do you How does Jesse Mintor set the culture tomorrow? 661 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: I think there's a couple of things. 662 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 10: One like knowing that there's a really good foundation, and 663 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 10: especially myself havn't been here knowing sort of how that 664 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 10: was built. Is a is a major positive and then 665 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 10: I have, you know, my own style, and in my 666 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 10: own way, I think we need to become a really 667 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 10: connected team. I think we need to play football in 668 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 10: a style that people are proud of and excited of 669 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 10: on all three phases of the game. And so I 670 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 10: think we're going to create an identity of a really 671 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 10: well connected team that's tough and physical, but also that's 672 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 10: very innovative. We want to be really forward thinking schematically 673 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 10: in all three phases, and I think there's going to 674 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 10: be a lot of excitement when the guys come back 675 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 10: and really feel like. 676 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 2: We're headed in the right direction. 677 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: Jesse, good luck to you. Everybody I know speaks very 678 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: highly of you. It's a gold standard organization, and good 679 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: luck going forward. 680 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 2: Appreciate you. Thanks for having me on. 681 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: You bet Jesse Mentor he turned that Chargers defense around 682 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: in like an hour. Like so there arefore I think 683 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: Harbaugh's going to crush it with the Giants. They're going 684 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: to be a playoff team next year. I really like 685 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: Jesse and Baltimore, Robert sla and Tennessee. I'm not sure 686 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: the quarterback situation in Atlanta with Stefanski. I love the 687 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: hire Arthur blank is dependable, it's not a chaotic organization. 688 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: They've got tremendous skill people. So we're still waiting for 689 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Cardinals. Clint Kubiak sounds like he's 690 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: getting the Raiders job. I like that. Higher with a 691 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: with a team that's got some really really nice offensive talent, 692 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: They'll get Fernando Mendoza with a number one pick. Arizona's 693 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: a bit of as a bit of a shipwreck right now. 694 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing that or and and 695 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: by the way, Raiders Cardinals, those divisions are tough, but 696 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: not all fourth place teams are are equal. The Raiders 697 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: are getting easily the best quarterback in college this year, 698 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: and you can nitpick Fernando Mendoza. The kid is absolutely fantastic, 699 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic. So if I was a Raider fan, Clint 700 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: Kubiak to me, I mean, honestly, if if Clint Kubiak 701 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: may have been outside of John Harball and maybe Sean McDermott, 702 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak could be a perfect fit there. He really could. Also, remember, 703 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak has flourished in Seattle, which is a really 704 00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: really young team. Well, the Raiders Mendoza is gonna be 705 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: a rookie, Rock Bowers, Ashton Genty. They've got a right 706 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: tackle who moved inside. I think he's in year two, 707 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: and they're gonna attack their wide receiver. Last year they 708 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: had a rookie wide receiver. The Raiders offense is young 709 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak, Seattle's offense mostly young. I think it's a 710 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: good fit. I hope Seattle and Sam Darnold can replace him. 711 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: But Jay Mack Jesse Minner to me, feels like it'll work. 712 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. 713 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, definite home run higher. Interesting. 714 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 6: There's some stuff online about how, hey, fifty three percent 715 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 6: of the league is African American and in this cycle 716 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 6: we have had a like only white guys hired as 717 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 6: head coaches. 718 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 5: I don't know how the league deals with something like that. 719 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 6: You know, obviously Robert Sala has a mixed background, but like, 720 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 6: it's just a weird, weird to see that be like 721 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 6: a storyline here when you got some pretty some good 722 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 6: hires a couple questionable ones in there. 723 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna call out. 724 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: I's had no idea how Jeff Hafley's going to do 725 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: in Miami. Yeah, I mean Joe Brady may not be 726 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: as good as Jeff half, but he'd win more games 727 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: because he has John. I don't know what Jeff Hafley's 728 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: going to do as a head coach. I know Todd 729 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: Monkun to me feels eh, Joe Brady feels like comfortable. 730 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy will probably win games. It's it's 731 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,280 Speaker 1: a little flat, it doesn't feel inspiring, and maybe I'm 732 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: out of my mind, but I think Robert Sala and 733 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: Brian dabol That is about as good as Tennessee could do. 734 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: I think if you'd have hired those again outside of 735 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: John Harball, I think those guys are going to crush 736 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,439 Speaker 1: it in Tennessee tons of cap space. I like cam 737 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: Ward Jeffrey Simmons maybe the best defensive lineman in the league, 738 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: and that division is you can win a lot of 739 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: games in that division. 740 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 6: I also think the Stefanski pairing offensive coach with offense 741 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 6: that's got b Jean Robinson, Drake London. I think, you 742 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 6: know Michael Pennix needs to take the next step. Obviously, 743 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 6: I know there's a lot of questions about him, but 744 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 6: I think you know a lot of good hires. Obviously, 745 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 6: some questionable but uh, we'll see what happens with your cardinals. 746 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 6: They're yours. Remember you were at Kyler Murray guy, weren't. 747 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 5: You guys and out at a UFC fight or something 748 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 5: like that, you and Kyler. 749 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: I got nothing against him, but that organization right now 750 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: is going. 751 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 5: Where's the quarterbacking next year? By the way, that's a. 752 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: Good I don't know, I really don't know. 753 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 5: I got a big market for him. 754 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg cole sells around the corner. What did he see? 755 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: What's going forward? New England a four and a half 756 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: point dog to the Seahawks,
