The Packers lost Christian Watson 29 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: for the playoffs. Now I'm watching this game, and I'm 30 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: watching this in real time, and you can tell when 31 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: somebody gets hurt and they know they're hurt, and it's 32 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: not just hey, I got banged up, it's this is serious. 33 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: And you solved his reaction and then I knew. I said, 34 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: he probably tours ACL and that's what it turned out 35 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: to be. This is one of those Wow to me, 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: people aren't talking about the Packers. The Packers have a 37 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: good defense, they can run. You got Jordan Love. Now 38 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: you lose watching that's a big loss, big loss, and it's. 39 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: Probably being underplayed here. 40 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: But I think everybody's been focused, certainly on the Lions, 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: and I'm looking at point spreads. So DraftKings sent me 42 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: some point spreads. These are hypothetical matchups. The Vikings would 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: get three and a half against the Lions. In a rematch, 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: the Rams would get six and a half against the Lions. 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: The Packers would get three and a half against the Lions, 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: the Ravens would get one against the Bills, the Vikings 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: would get four against the Eagles, Chargers four and a 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 2: half against the Chiefs, Texans get seven against the Chiefs, 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: and the Buccaneers would get six and a half if 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: they face the Eagles. The Eagles situation is also something interesting. 51 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: This is being under sold as well, and that's Jalen Hurts. 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: He's been in concussion protocol and that's why I was 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: all for sake one Barklay not playing in that last game. 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: What I'd like to see him break the record. Sure, 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: but you have to have a bigger goal than an 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: individual goal. And you can't say, well, you can get 57 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 2: hurt in it every game. You can't get hurt in 58 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: the game you don't play in. I want to make 59 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: sure my quarterback's in concussion protocol. Is he going to 60 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: be available to play? I don't know that. But here's 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Nick Siriani being very evasive about the health of his quarterback. 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: As you put the game plan together, is it with 63 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: the intention of jaelling is the starting quarterback this weekend? 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 4: I have no new information for you guys, like I 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 4: said yesterday, progressing through the protocol. 67 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 5: Are you able to say if he's in the building today? 68 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: I got no new info for you guys here today. 69 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Wait, you can't confirm he's in the building? 70 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: Nikes, where's shifty when you need him somebody outside spying 71 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: on a grassy knoll to see if it's that hurts? 72 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: Yes? 73 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 6: See, what is the huge benefit to holding back that 74 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 6: bombshell information unless he's. 75 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: Not in the building and that he's at a hospital 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: or wherever you go for concussion protocol. I think what 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: Nick has done is he's made it worse. I can't 78 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: even tell you if he's in the building or not 79 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, I'm really curious. But this 80 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: is Nick Siriani who doesn't handle the media very well. 81 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: And in this situation, you know, if he's there, there's 82 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: nothing wrong with saying that he's not here today. 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: We expect him tomorrow. Like you can move around these things. 84 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: Sometimes these coaches try not to tell you something while 85 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: in the process really telling you something. All right, poll 86 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: question to start out first down? Or is going to 87 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: be what seeden most attractive opening? 88 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: Right now? 89 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 6: Wow, Bear's Jaguars, Jets, Patriots sings. 90 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: Okay, by the way, I had a source say, hey, 91 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: keep an eye out on the Colts Monday. 92 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: They may be blowing this thing up. Well they didn't. 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: They brought back their coach and GM, but they fired 94 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: their defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley. I don't know if that's 95 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: really detonating anything here, but somebody had to pay the price. 96 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: So Gus Bradley was fired with the Colts. But the 97 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurt situation that bears watching here practice coming up 98 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 2: tomorrow will certainly get a better indication if Kenny Pickett 99 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: is going to be the answer. You don't like the 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 2: question if you're a Philadelphia Egle fan. North Dakota State 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: they won the FCS title. The Bison they win again. 102 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: I think that's ten national championships, and we were thinking, 103 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: if you win the national championship in FCS, can we 104 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: schedule something where you get to play the team that 105 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: wins the national championship. 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: Let's say Ohio State. 107 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: Wins and Week zero you get North Dakota State against 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 2: Ohio State. Now it's not going to be on a 109 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: neutral site because Ohio State wouldn't do that. But you 110 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: get North Dakota State, big moment. Now, granted, the team 111 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: that won the national championship won't be the team that 112 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: takes the field next year. That could be a problem, 113 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 2: but that'd be nice because I'm all for legation. I 114 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: think that would be awesome if we eventually get to 115 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: my playoff picture, my landscape for college football, which maybe 116 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: the top fifty schools, maybe sixty, split them up in divisions, 117 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: and you have an NFL style model. 118 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 3: But could you have that last. 119 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: Day, that last game, those last games where they mean 120 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: something where you better win or you're going to FCS 121 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: or if you win, you're going up to FBS, you 122 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: get to play, and the money is going to be 123 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: a lot more. I think it would be fun to 124 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: watch that. I don't know how practical it is, but 125 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: I think if you had that, just like with the 126 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: Premier League, like sometimes you'll have those last days where 127 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: you're like, uh, oh score differential, gold differential, Oh my goodness, 128 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: we're in trouble. 129 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: Now you're going to be relegated. No, not the R word, 130 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: You're relegated. 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: Eight seven seven to three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick 132 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: dot com, Twitter handling DP show operator Tyler sitting by Yes, Paul. 133 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 4: Based off that North Dakota State would be promoted to 134 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: maybe the Big twelve, and unfortunately this year Kent State 135 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: would drop down to FCS Kent State one. 136 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: No, I think Kent State probably should be relegated, even 137 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: though there's no relegation. They lost every game, but I 138 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: think over thirty points like they weren't even they like 139 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: winning was a rumor for them. 140 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: Maybe not even a rumor for that. 141 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: All right, let's see a couple other things here, some 142 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: facts that you might be interested in. Bo Nicks is 143 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: twenty four years, three hundred and twenty two days, and 144 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: that will be on Sunday. That's how old he will be, 145 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: the second oldest rookie quarterback to start an NFL playing 146 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: playoff game. I could give you a hundred gain, I'd 147 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: give you a thousand guesses. You aren't going to guess 148 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 2: the oldest rookie to start a playoff game in NFL history. 149 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: It did happen in twenty twenty two. If if that's 150 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: a hint for you, I'll give you his college, which 151 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: would probably give it away. I believe he played at 152 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: Kansas State, and he takers here not Michael Bishop. That 153 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: was Marvin you were going, there were Skuyler, Thompson. 154 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: Paul Tooley. 155 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 7: Just like stat of the Day, Sat of the day, 156 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 7: that passed out of the day, stat of the day, 157 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 7: here comes that what stand. 158 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: Out of the day? All right? 159 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 2: So the best opening West Devin mccordy, about that, with 160 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: the openings that we had, you had Robert Kraft. I 161 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: can't say this was a press conference. It was just 162 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: he addressed the media yesterday and he kind of fell 163 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 2: on the sword where he fired drowd Mail after one year, this. 164 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 5: Whole situation is on me. 165 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 8: I feel terrible for Girard because I put him in 166 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 8: an untenable situation. It was very hard because the personal 167 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 8: relationship I feel for Girard and the human being he is, 168 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 8: and I felt guilty I put him in that position. 169 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 3: Okay, yes you did. 170 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: You know, everybody's a genius when you got Belichick and Brady, 171 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: and then when you only have one, not everybody's a genius, 172 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: including the genius. And then when you don't have either, 173 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: then it falls back to who's running this team. And 174 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: the Crafts have been running this team, not Bill Belichick 175 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 2: the last five years and maybe longer Okay, you have 176 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: Gerrod Mayo, who is a coach in waiting. Now Belichick 177 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: didn't know apparently that they had already put this in 178 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: his contract that he was going to be the coach 179 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 2: in waiting. That's the first problem. You have to let 180 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: Bill know because and Bill may say, hey, then I 181 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: don't want to be around and you may have to 182 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: eat that one. But you can't do that to Belichick. 183 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: Where you go, we're going to put this in the 184 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: language in your contract, you're the coach in waiting, and 185 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: then tell me that after five years of being the 186 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: coach in waiting, he's not ready to be the coach 187 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 2: after waiting five years. 188 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: See, that's embarrassing. Now. 189 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: I think what this came down to was not necessarily 190 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: the performance on the field as much as maybe handling 191 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: yourself as a head coach. And I think Drodmeyo failed 192 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: with those responsibilities because I think he wanted to be 193 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: the antithesis of Bill Belichick. When he went to a 194 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 2: press conference, he was actually going to say something. Maybe 195 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: he was a little more confrontational with his players, not 196 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: that far removed from being a player himself, and I 197 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: don't think he handled himself the way maybe the Crafts 198 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: wanted him to handle himself as a head coach. I 199 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: don't know what they expected because you didn't spend any money. 200 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: You have a quarterback, you kind of have a running back. 201 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: You were supposed to have a really good defense. The 202 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: last part of last season. You were one of the 203 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: better defenses in the NFL. Now you're going to bring 204 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: in who Brian Flores, You're going to bring in Mike Rabel, 205 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson. But I don't know if you make that 206 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 2: move unless you know, like, what if they whiff on 207 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: Vrabel Ben Johnson. 208 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: Let's say Brian Flores the defensive coordinator with the Vikings. 209 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: Now, what are you going to bring in another inexperienced 210 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 2: head coaching candidate, Like you can't whiff Like they have 211 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: to get their person, They have to get Mike Rabel. 212 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: It feels like Ben Johnson. We don't know. 213 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: As I've said many many times, not every coordinator should 214 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: be a head coach. Ben Johnson has done a wonderful 215 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: job in Detroit. 216 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 3: I don't know. Once again, you. 217 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: Can be great at your job, but there are other 218 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: jobs that go with that. How do you handle prescott differences? 219 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 2: It's really important, is Pete Carroll going to get a shot. 220 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: It feels like there's some momentum that maybe he gets 221 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: a shot. I don't know why. Now he's been available 222 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: in the last couple of years. It's one of those 223 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: that it's like, you know, you find out that some 224 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: girls available and you didn't know she was available, and 225 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 2: you're like, well, what happened? I didn't know that Pam 226 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: Anderson's available? Well maybe Pete Carroll is the Pam Anderson 227 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: of the NFL. Nice you know he's available, Okay? And 228 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: the Patriots got cap room. They have I think over 229 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars. Why weren't they spending that before? 230 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 2: If you're not going to spend it now, that'd be 231 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: my first question. If I'm going to be Mike Brabel 232 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: and I walk in and go, why do we have 233 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: a hundred million dollars that we didn't spend? Can we 234 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: can we buy a receiver? Can we can we buy 235 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: offensive line? Can we buy a running back? Could we 236 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: have gotten Saquon Barkley? 237 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 3: I don't know. 238 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: You just asked questions where why are you stockpiling all 239 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: this money? Are we going to spend this money now? 240 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: I'm interestooed in the job. If not, why would you 241 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: take that job? Yes, you got Drake May, but you 242 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: need more than Drake May. You're gonna win four or 243 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: five six games. Okay, that's not the Patriot The Patriot 244 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: way is done. Okay, the Patriot way was Belichick and Brady. 245 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: Let's be honest here, it's not the Crafts. It's Belichick 246 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: and Brady. Because once the emperor has no clothes, it's 247 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: pretty freaking cold. And that's what you have going on there. 248 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: How did it get here? And it happened right before 249 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: our very eyes? Yes, Pauline. 250 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: That being said, even though it was an awkward day 251 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 4: for the Patriots, could it have been the right decision? 252 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 4: Because you have cap space and a quarter of that 253 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: people like on a rookie deal. It's one of the 254 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 4: more attractive jobs financially, not so much talent wise, but 255 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 4: financially you have an open slate, Like if you're a 256 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: new GM, which I'll actually have a GM or a coach. 257 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: It seems like a blank slate. 258 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: But I have to know if they're spending money, how 259 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: involved are the Crafts. That's what I want to know. 260 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: They got more involved, and I think to the detriment 261 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: of the team. 262 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: You didn't spend any money. 263 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: How do you bring in a rookie coach and a 264 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback and don't surround them. This goes back to 265 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: what happened with Andrew Luck. Every team should be reminded 266 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: of that. If you're going to bring in a rookie quarterback, 267 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: get an offensive line, give them a couple of skilled 268 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: position players. If not, then don't use the pick on 269 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: a quarterback if you're not going to protect him, you know, 270 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: like Bryce Young, Hey Bryce, go out there and be 271 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: a savior. That's not the kind of quarterback he is. 272 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: Hey Bryce, sorry, you got to run for your life. 273 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: Hey Bryce, you suck. 274 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: Come on over. 275 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: Andy Dalton's going You didn't help him protect him, and 276 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: New England didn't do that with Drake Man and as 277 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: a result, you get rid of Gerrod Mayo. And maybe 278 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: Mayo wasn't the right guy to begin with. Maybe they 279 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: made a mistake to put in the coach in waiting. 280 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: But now you got to get Mike Rabel. His Rabel 281 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: gives you a culture. And I know that's one of 282 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: those weird words, but Dan Campbell created a culture in 283 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: Detroit like certain coaches create a culture. 284 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: Rex Ryan, you know. 285 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: For the the good and the bad of all of that. 286 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: He had a culture with the Jet. He's still trying 287 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: to bank in that culture, saying I'm the best guy 288 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: for the job. We're not going to let it be 289 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: a country club atmosphere for Aaron Rodgers. 290 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: I go, okay, yeah, Paul. 291 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 5: All right. 292 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 4: Any chance of rabel is the wrong choice because he 293 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 4: reminds everyone of Belichick. He'll probably walk in and say 294 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: I'm gonna do this like it was done five years ago. 295 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: Free agents didn't want to go play there, especially towards 296 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 4: the end. I don't know if Mike Ray will be 297 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 4: attractive to free agents with Atta Kapram. 298 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: Players didn't want to play for Belichick. They wanted to 299 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: play for Belichick and Brady because that meant you were 300 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: going to get a chance to play in a Super Bowl, 301 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: plain and simple. Like the last four years, did you 302 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: hear players go, you know what, before I retire, I 303 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: want to play for the greatest coach of all time. No, 304 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: they said, even defensive players, Hey, I'll put up with this, 305 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: but I want to go and play with Brady. I 306 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: got a chance, Chris Long one year to play for 307 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: you play in a Super Bowl and he won one. 308 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: They weren't going to play for the greatest coach in history. 309 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: They wanted to play for the greatest coach with the 310 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: greatest quarterback. The Patriot Way. Devin mccordy was part of 311 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: that Patriot Way.

They 343 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: will open up the season against Oregon. How about that, 344 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 2: we were talking about the winner. That'd be great if 345 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: the winner of North Dakota State got to play the 346 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: winner of the FBS Ohio State, And granted it would 347 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 2: be in Columbus, but that's okay. Also, let me clarify 348 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: with Kent State. They went zero to twelve. They lost 349 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: by an average of thirty points per game, but they 350 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: did have two games where they lost one by two points, 351 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: won by six points, but they did have consecutive losses 352 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: to Tennessee and Penn State by combined one hundred and 353 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 2: twenty seven to nothing. 354 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 10: Statup to day statup to day status day status to day, 355 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 10: the status to day status day status day statue. 356 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 2: He is Devin mccordy, NBC Football Night in America studio analyst. 357 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: He was on site with the Sunday Night Crew vikings 358 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 2: and the lines worst loss you ever had in college 359 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: was what. 360 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 5: My freshman year we lost to Louisville fifty five to 361 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 5: like five. We had a safety that was sprinkled in there. 362 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 5: It was something like that. 363 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: What's that feel like? 364 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 5: You hear the song that they play on kickoff a 365 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 5: lot throughout the game, and I still remember it was 366 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 5: a young jeezy song and they would always play Boom 367 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 5: Boom clatt And we heard that a lot that night. 368 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 5: So you used to hearing that song when you get 369 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 5: blown out. 370 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 3: What was the atmosphere like in Detroit? 371 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: Oh? 372 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 5: It was awesome. You know, I think even in pregame 373 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 5: warmost of each kind of wave of guys that come out, 374 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 5: you know, first the returners come out, the crowd goes 375 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 5: and then the skill positions, and then ultimately Jared Golf 376 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: came out and they went nuts. And what I love though, 377 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 5: is every time somebody from the Vikings came out, it 378 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 5: was just NonStop booze, and I think like you could 379 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 5: feel it before the game started up, the impact that 380 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 5: crowd was going to have in the game. 381 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was curious about. That they have 382 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: home field advantage throughout in the NFC, But how much 383 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: of an advantage is it to Detroit. Is there any 384 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: other place that compares like Kansas City that home field advantage, Yeah. 385 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 5: Kansas City. I think Buffalo like those teams that, for one, 386 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 5: your fan base is intense, they're loud. But I think 387 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 5: they get an advantage too of playing in the cold 388 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 5: depending on who comes there, like we saw last year 389 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 5: when Miami had to go to Kansas City and playing 390 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 5: that historically cold game, but you don't have a shot. 391 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 5: And I think Detroit's advantage is being in that dome. 392 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 5: That dome gets loud and it gets rocking, and those 393 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 5: people are intense. I just talked to Mike Florial on 394 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 5: Pro Football Talk on the podcast they went and did 395 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 5: their podcast Monday morning, him and Chris Simps. They still 396 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 5: could smell the beer like those people had a great 397 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 5: time in there. So it's a tough place to play. 398 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: What's it like to play in a quiet stadium. 399 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, you hear all the checks. You know, you think about, 400 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 5: you know, defenses, and you know, honestly, it's fun for 401 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 5: defense when you're out there and you can hear with 402 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 5: the offense checks and you can hear yourselves usually like 403 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 5: if you're at home and those kind of big time 404 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 5: matchups in the crowds going crazy making it hard for 405 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 5: the offense. You have to remember, as a defense, you 406 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 5: got to get used to making your calls and stuff 407 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 5: with that noise. But when you're out there and it's silent, 408 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 5: the energy's tough sometimes, but you get the advantage of 409 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 5: really hearing everything the offense is trying to check and 410 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 5: get to. 411 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: I guess there's usually one surprise firing every cycle. I 412 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: thought Gerrod Mayo was a surprise. I don't know how 413 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 2: you felt, but one and done in New England. Your reaction, Yeah, I. 414 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 5: Got the opportunity to go up to the press conference, 415 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 5: and I remember being in that moment of how special 416 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 5: it was a guy I got an opportunity to play 417 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 5: with a guy that I think for that franchise as 418 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 5: the number ten pick, came in and did so many 419 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 5: things and ultimately was a great leader for the organization. 420 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 5: So when when he was named head coach, I was 421 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 5: so excited. I thought he would get an opportunity to 422 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 5: really grow into that role. Not much experience in coaching overall, 423 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 5: but I thought he would get the opportunity to grow 424 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 5: and he didn't. And for me, it was a reminder 425 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 5: of this league of I don't care how awesome the 426 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 5: story is, the personal relationships and all that. When you 427 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 5: get in and you're a head coach, they're looking for 428 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 5: a certain thing. They're looking for wins, they're looking for 429 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 5: the alignment and what the vision looks like. And ultimately, 430 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 5: the Crafts felt like it wasn't there and they moved 431 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 5: on from Jiraw. But you know, I think down the 432 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 5: end it didn't. It wasn't surprising. But if I think 433 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: back to the beginning, no way I thought that it 434 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 5: would even be a thought of him being one and 435 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 5: done as a head coach. 436 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: But how can he be the coaching waiting for five 437 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: years but not be ready for this moment. According to 438 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: Robert Kraft. 439 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean you look at that press conferences and 440 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 5: he said, I think he has all the skills to 441 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 5: be a great head coach someday. And that to me 442 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 5: was why you named him head coaches. You thought somebody 443 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 5: else would get to take advantage of that, and they 444 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 5: only give him one year. I think it's really tough, 445 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 5: you know, And I think back to Jimmy Johnson spoke 446 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 5: to our team my rookie year and he said, the 447 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 5: NFL is not about fair. You're gonna get opportunity and 448 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 5: that's all you can ask for. And you know, honestly, 449 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 5: it wasn't fair for Draw Mayo to think he would 450 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: have everything button up in year one. But that's the 451 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 5: reality of the NFL. 452 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: Devin mccordy Football Night in America Analyst and wild Card 453 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: Weekend NBC and Peacock will bring you the Commanders at 454 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. Better season turned in by Jaden Daniels or 455 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield. 456 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 5: Oh, I think you gotta go Jaden Daiels just because 457 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 5: a little bit of what Baker's doing was expected, you know. 458 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 5: I think Baker in Tampa has been a beautiful fit 459 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 5: and he showed that he can be you know one 460 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 5: of the top quarterbacks in the league. Jade and Dais 461 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 5: took over a Washington team that we thought, even with him, 462 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 5: they would struggle this year, and you look up and 463 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 5: they're in the playoffs. They're going to be in the 464 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 5: playoffs playing an opportunity advance that just wasn't expecting. And 465 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 5: the truth is it's all because of Jayden Daniels as 466 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 5: their best player. 467 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: The Eagles situation is interesting and I think it's being 468 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: under sold. And that is Jalen Hurts and concussion protocol. 469 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 2: Here have you ever been in concussion protocol? 470 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 5: Actually, my first time being a concussion protocol, I don't 471 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 5: want to say it was the same, but it was 472 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 5: similar into what Jalen Hurst is going through of and 473 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 5: the process was a little different. But I had passed 474 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 5: certain tests so I was able to practice, but I 475 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 5: didn't pass a test yet to be able to have contact, 476 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 5: so I had got a concussion missed the last week 477 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 5: of the season. Then we had to playoff bye week, 478 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 5: so I didn't practice the last week of the season, 479 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 5: but the playoff bye week, I was cleared to be 480 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 5: able to practice, but still was non contacting. The Ultimately 481 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 5: to get out of protocol. I had to get an 482 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 5: MRI of my brain to be fully out of the 483 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 5: concussion protocol. So it was a whole process, and more 484 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 5: of a process than normal when we think about concussion protocol. 485 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 5: So I felt a little bit of what he's going through. 486 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 2: Now, if you were Mike McCarthy and you had an 487 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: opportunity to leave the Cowboys, let's say the Bears job 488 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 2: is legitimate, you know, he's going to be a free agent, 489 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 2: and I don't know if there's any rush for Jerry to, 490 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: you know, sign him. 491 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 3: They could have done this. 492 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: He's been a lame duck coach, but it's hard to 493 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: pass on being the Cowboys head coach. But sometimes you 494 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: want to get out from underneath Jerry Jones and that 495 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: that star. 496 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 5: That Cowboys head coaching job. It's hard to turn down 497 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 5: until you've been in it for five years. And I 498 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 5: think Mike McCarthy knows exactly what it feels like and 499 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 5: what it is to be in that job. So I 500 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 5: think it'll be telling if he does want to go 501 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 5: on these interviews that he is seeking to see what 502 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 5: it feels like and what it could look like somewhere else. 503 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 5: And the Bears, they had to see it firsthand when 504 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 5: he was coaching the Green Bay Packers, So there might 505 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 5: be a little bit of an infatuation of Mike McCarthy 506 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 5: and what he was able to do, and he might 507 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 5: want some breathe and room from being on that kind 508 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 5: of soap opera box that the Cowboys give you every 509 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 5: year you're in that position. 510 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna have a road team, at least one road 511 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 2: team win this weekend with these games. Give me the 512 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 2: surprise this weekend, the surprise, I would say. 513 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 5: And I know it's a little harder because of Jordan 514 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 5: Love's injury and Christian Watson being done, but I just 515 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 5: think the Green Bay Packers they're one of those teams 516 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 5: that are a little inconsistent. You don't always know what 517 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 5: you're gonna get. But if they can get hot and 518 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 5: they can get going, they have a Jeff Afleet or 519 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, has different kind of looks and disguises that 520 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 5: they can give you. They're gonna play Eagles team that 521 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 5: comes off a week where they're resting, so they might 522 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 5: be a little bit of a slow start getting back 523 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 5: into the field of things that I think green Bay 524 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 5: could surprise Philadelphia. I think Philadelphia is a better team 525 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 5: and should win, but I wouldn't be surprised if Green 526 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 5: Bay could get it going at Philadelphia. 527 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh has problems with Baltimore. 528 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 5: Why, I just ultimately, I think Baltimore is a better 529 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 5: football team. I think we fell in love with what 530 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 5: Russ was able to do took over Pittsburgh that went 531 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 5: on a little winning streak. But I think what we 532 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 5: saw what Baltimore is able to do over these last 533 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 5: few weeks, that's their team and I think they're playing 534 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 5: their best ball right now. And I think Pittsburgh they're 535 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: just not the inabilities of the offense to get the 536 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 5: ball down the field consistently, to be able to pick 537 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 5: up short gains and drive and have ten to twelve 538 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 5: play drives, like that's not what they do well. So 539 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 5: when you're relied on the deep ball non stop, and 540 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 5: if Pickens doesn't come out and have a big game, 541 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 5: then that just leaves you so handicap that I think 542 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 5: Baltimore has so much firepower that you can't really play 543 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 5: that way. But I will say these two teams, they battle, 544 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 5: and each time they play, it seems like the game 545 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 5: goes a different way. So it's a scary game a 546 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 5: little bit for Baltimore playing a division opponent in the playoffs. 547 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 2: What if Bill Belichick called you and said, would you 548 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: join me on my staff at North Carolina? 549 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 5: I would ultimately think about it, and I would second 550 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 5: I would think about my wife killing me, so I 551 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 5: would have to I would have to say, Bill, I 552 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 5: love you, respect you so much, but coaching is just 553 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 5: not going to be about future. 554 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: Okay, what advice would you give if Bill Belichick said, 555 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: come down and talk to my players. 556 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 3: I'm not going to be in the room. What would 557 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 3: you say. 558 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 5: I would tell them, prepare for something that won't be easy, 559 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 5: but prepare for a chance to be one thing, a 560 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 5: champion in college, but ultimately an opportunity to be the 561 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 5: best football player you could be. And for some of them, 562 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 5: that's going to be in the NFL. You're going to 563 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 5: learn things about the game of football that are going 564 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 5: to travel with you far after your career. I mean, 565 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 5: I'm doing TV primarily because I sat in team meeting 566 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 5: rooms for thirteen years and heard the most brilliant mind 567 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 5: and Bill Belichick talk about the game of football. I 568 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 5: know about situations that I've never known. Offense, special teams 569 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 5: defense because of all the things he hit about, you know, 570 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 5: over my thirteen years in football, and for those young 571 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 5: guys like that won't leave you. There's life lessons in there, 572 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 5: There's everything. So I think ultimately you want to be 573 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 5: a winner and be the best version of yourself. Get 574 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 5: an opportunity to play for Bill Belichick. That's going to 575 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 5: give you that. 576 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: Did you ever want to punch you? 577 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 5: I mean, how many times would you be? The question? 578 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 5: I remember we went my rookie year. We went nine 579 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 5: straight days of full pads in practice in training camp. 580 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: Can't do that anymore, but that like, that's what we 581 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 5: did my rookie year in training camp, like we were 582 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 5: ready to go by top seasons started. 583 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: Good to talk to you again. Have fun in the postseason. 584 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 2: Thank you, Devin. I'm talking to Dare Devin mccordy.

Right now, 616 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 6: the Bears have forty six percent of that vote, followed 617 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 6: by the Patriots at twenty one. Jaguars, Saints and the 618 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 6: Jets are in last. 619 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to take the Jags job if you 620 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: have the same GM who's been there for a couple 621 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 2: of head coaches, Trent ball Keys still there. Patriot situation, 622 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 2: I want to know, are you going to spend money, 623 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 2: how involved are the crafts with the decisions. Saints probably 624 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:20,719 Speaker 2: would be at the bottom of my list. I think 625 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,959 Speaker 2: the Jets have the potential, but they've had the potential 626 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: for decades. The Bears is the best situation, I think, 627 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 2: just because you have the best quarterback probably out of 628 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: that group, although you can make an argument Drake may 629 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: was better than Caleb Williams this year. I just think 630 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: get some familiarity, continuity, and you can't have a rookie 631 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: quarterback or even a second year quarterback, and you have 632 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: a coach who may get fired or gets fired. Now 633 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: you bring in another coach, another philosophy, another offensive coordinator, 634 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: it's too much to ask. It's too difficult for these 635 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: quarterbacks to go in learn a system, now learn another system. 636 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: And that happened with Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield has played great. 637 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 2: He's a top ten quarterback. May not want to admit it, 638 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 2: but getting continuity, having a couple of really good receivers 639 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 2: and you're putting up forty touchdowns here. But the Bear situation, 640 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: I think that's a really good situation. I just don't know. 641 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: It feels like they got enough too many front office 642 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: people for my liking there. But you look at some 643 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 2: of these vacancies. The Jags ownership, how involved the Jets 644 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: front office ownership is a disaster. Patriots, what just happened? 645 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: The Saints, they're just kind of, I don't know, neutral bland. 646 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: If you could put a color on these teams, the 647 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: Saints would be opal, not oprah opel. Patriots would be beige. 648 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 3: Jaguars. 649 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 2: Give me a color for the Jags, Fusia like futility. Yeah, 650 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 2: the Bear's color. Bear's color. I'm gonna give them orange, 651 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 2: orange like a traffic cone. Orange like they can protect you, 652 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 2: but there could also be danger lurking there. 653 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, Yeah, the Jaguars. They have the job opening. 654 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 4: No one ever talks about. Is it possible that Trevor 655 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 4: Lawrence never works out? We're four years in, He's twenty 656 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 4: two and thirty eight as a starter, sixty nine touchdowns, 657 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 4: forty six picks, and despite him being injured this past year, 658 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 4: he wasn't good when he was healthy, and he just 659 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 4: signed a five year, two hundred and seventy five million 660 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 4: dollar deal. Here's your quarterback at minimum for the next 661 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 4: two years. Yeah, no one discusses him as a I 662 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 4: don't want to use the word bus but eight underwhelming. 663 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 3: But they don't talk about the Jacks. 664 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 2: Once again, understanding the news cycle, how the sausage is made, 665 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 2: you get no clicks if you're talking about the Jacks. 666 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 2: I mean, let face it, you can go and nobody's 667 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 2: gonna talk about the Saints, Bears you'll get clicks, Jets 668 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 2: you'll get clicks. Patriots you get clicks, Jags, Saints you will, 669 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 2: not the Cowboys you will obviously if Mike McCarthy stays 670 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: or Mike McCarthy goes. That's how it works. It's like 671 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 2: your radio station that plays top forty hits. That's what 672 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: TV and radio has become you just play the hits 673 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 2: because that's what you're told. You have programming people who 674 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: tell you what to talk about, and I understand it, 675 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: play the hits. It just I got into this to 676 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 2: cover sports, not just the top end sports, and I 677 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 2: did this at the Mothership. How many times did we 678 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 2: talk about Duke North Carolina Basketball, Yankees and the Red Sox, 679 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 2: Tarall Owens, Mike Tyson. Now, granted, those are people you 680 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 2: did want to hear about or from, but you just 681 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 2: don't want to lose some of the other like the 682 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 2: Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder are playing wonderful basketball, 683 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 2: Nobody's going to talk about them, and that's unfortunate, but 684 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 2: this is sort of the sports society that we cultivated here. 685 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 3: You're just going to play the hits. People would rather 686 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 3: hear about. 687 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 2: How bad the Lakers are, why aren't the Lakers good, 688 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: or what kind of trade they can make than they 689 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: would Cavalier is a great story in Oklahoma City, a 690 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 2: great story, and it might just ended that, Hey, Okloma City, 691 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 2: great story. 692 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah. 693 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 6: The interesting part of what you're saying, too, is that 694 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 6: for traditional media, playing the hits is very important, but 695 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 6: with like podcasts and social media and everything, you. 696 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 3: Can narrow down and zero in. 697 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 6: On one very specific thing that you're interested in, and 698 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 6: there's probably a dozen podcasts covering just that one thing. 699 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 6: So people, it's weird like, are probably more educated than 700 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 6: ever on certain things, like whether it's x's and o's 701 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 6: or whatever, because you can nerd out hardcore on any 702 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 6: minutia of sport if you want. 703 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 2: But even at my broadcasting school, when students say, hey, 704 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 2: I want to start a podcast, and I always say, okay, 705 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 2: what are you going to talk about? When they say sports, 706 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 2: I go, nope, never make it. You got to be 707 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: really specific. What are you going to give that somebody 708 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 2: doesn't give? And I had one of my students say, 709 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 2: I'm just going to talk about the Cowboys. Well, he's 710 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 2: had a successful podcast because he's talking about the Cowboys. 711 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 2: You talk about the Laker. I mean, this is how 712 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 2: it works. May not be fair. Nobody said it was 713 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 2: going to be fair. If you're Mike McCarthy, what are 714 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 2: you waiting for? I mean, Jerry Jones is really embarrassing him. 715 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: Mike has won a Super Bowl. He might be a 716 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 2: borderline Hall of Fame coach, maybe as a Hall of 717 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 2: Fame coach, But what are you doing? And if you're 718 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, I think by Thursday he's a total free agent. 719 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 2: And we're going to check in with the Cowboys coming 720 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 2: up next hour, because now we brought the Bears into 721 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 2: the equation. The Bears are going to interview Mike McCarthy. Okay, 722 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 2: And if you're a Bears fan, don't be high and 723 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 2: mighty and go, oh, we can't have him come in. 724 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 2: If he was when he was in Green Bay and 725 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 2: I said you could have him as your head coach, 726 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 2: you would have taken him in his second. 727 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 3: Good coach he is. 728 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 2: His resume is similar to Sean Payton's. Let that sink in. 729 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 2: Because Sean Payton's a genius with a lot of people. 730 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy doesn't get that. Well, he had Aaron Rodgers, 731 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 2: they only won. 732 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 3: One Super Bowl. Well, I don't know. 733 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 2: Sean had Drew Brees, they won one Super Bowl. Mike 734 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: McCarthy's a good coach. I think being in that organization, 735 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 2: you're you're gonna get blamed, You're never gonna get credit. 736 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 2: But Jerry has let you be a lame duck coach. 737 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 2: And if I'm Mike McCarthy. I don't know if the 738 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 2: bear situation is real. I don't know if that's somebody 739 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 2: from Mike McCarthy saying, hey, can you do me a 740 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 2: solid so I can he wants to go back to 741 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. What's Jerry waiting for now? Jerry does love 742 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 2: being in the news cycle. He truly, you get addicted 743 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 2: to this. They want that publicity, they want that attend 744 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 2: You see player o Cho Sinko taroll Owens. When they're done, 745 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 2: they're like, wait a minute, hey, notice me. Well, Jerry 746 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 2: Jones loves the attention. I think that's why hegged he 747 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 2: was dragging out Dak Prescott's contract c D Lamb. Now 748 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: will drag out Michael Parsons. Why you're in the news 749 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 2: cycle constantly talking about your product? And I think that 750 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 2: has got in the way of the Cowboys progressing and 751 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 2: being a really good team again, because Jerry gets caught 752 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 2: up in this, loves it. Probably loves that we're talking 753 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 2: about Mike McCarthy. I'll get around. You know, he's doing 754 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 2: cameos in a Landman series, by the way, got good reviews. 755 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 2: But I think Jerry likes being a star. It's like 756 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 2: the crafts like being a star. Arthur Blank loves being 757 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 2: a star. I want my owner to just let people 758 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 2: do their job, let them be stars. These owners love it. 759 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go down there on the sidelines, bring my 760 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 2: girlfriend down there on the sidelines. We're gonna win a 761 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 2: super No, we're not. Jerry loves being a star. 762 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, pulling By the way, Mike McCarthy in the past 763 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 4: eighteen years has made the playoffs thirteen times. In the 764 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 4: past eighteen years, the Bears that made the playoffs four times. 765 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike McCarthy is a good coach. 766 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 2: I think I think it's the image the you know, 767 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 2: when you look at Mike McCarthy like you don't see 768 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 2: Matt Lafleur. I mean I think that people probably it's 769 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 2: sad to say that, but I think you look at 770 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy like he's not all buttoned up slovenly there 771 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 2: on the side. They did this Andy Reid. It felt like, oh, 772 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 2: Andy Reid. Now we've embraced Andy Reid. But sometimes that 773 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 2: coach like Tom Landry looked like a coach. Don Shula 774 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,280 Speaker 2: looked like a coach. Look at Lombardi out there. Sometimes 775 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 2: you look at that coach, and maybe he's not in 776 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: the image of what you think a coach should be. 777 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 2: And I think Mike McCarthy has suffered from them. I 778 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 2: think we look at Mike McCarthy and you have an opinion. Yes, 779 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel gets that treatment. Yes, he didn't look like 780 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 2: a coach. No, his pants, yes, well he got his 781 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 2: pants pulled up like that. Coaches don't look like that. Yes, 782 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 2: that's a great point, but I do. I think we 783 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 2: look sometimes and somebody doesn't look like a basketball coach. 784 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, who's the most coach looking coach of all time? 785 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 3: Pat Riley? Pat Riley, but you're casting him. 786 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 6: That's exactly who you would catch too slick, too soon? 787 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, Don Shula, Shula did look like a coach. How 788 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 3: about Bill Cower? Bill Cower? 789 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, Jimmy Johnson in there, that fellow looked like a coach, 790 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 6: Tom Landry, what about Bob. We'll check in with the Cowboys. 791 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 6: One hour in the books, two more to go.
