8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin, third Fox Sports, NFL and college football analyst,

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: eight years in the NFL Heisman Trophy winner.

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: We love having him on the show, and he's joining us.

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: After a wild, wild weekend for the two best quarterbacks,

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: Dante More and Fernando Man doesn't. We'll get to that.

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: We will get to that. I want to I want

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: to start with the Brian Dable firing. What I don't

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: like about it is Jackson Dart is your guy. They

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 1: have a great relationship. Just let it play out. You're

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: not a playoff team. Let it play out for the year.

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Then you know if it's Kafka, if it's Mike McCAT whatever.

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: Your takeaway on firing a coach now with a very

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: sub optimal roster. Scataboo's hurt, neighbors can't stay healthy. What

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: do you or you know, Matt Hasselbek said, bring Cofkin

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: for six games, seven games, lat let him trial run.

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: Where do you land on that?

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they need to get rid of everybody.

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: I don't love the fact that they fired Brian Dable

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 4: at this point in the season.

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 5: You're two and eight.

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 4: Normally when coaches get fired in season, it's because you

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: already know the guy that you want to go get

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 4: and you want to get ahead of that, or you're

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: thinking it's going to spark the team. This team is

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: out out of the playoffs essentially, like you're not going

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: to turn this around going if he did on the

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: stretch and find a way to sneak in.

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 5: So I don't love that part of it. But what

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 5: I what I.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: Really hate is that they attached a rookie quarterback to

38
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: a head coach.

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 5: And a GM there on the hot seat again.

40
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 4: And I watched this with Chicago and I brought this up,

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 4: and I caught a lot of flak for it, Colin

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: because I said that I didn't I think that the

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: bear should connect Caleb Williams to Matt Eberfluss, who is

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 4: a head coach on the hot seat, because then you

45
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: put your young quarterback in a situation where he's gonna

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 4: have his second head coach and his second play caller

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: in his second year.

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,279
Speaker 5: The biggest thing for young guys is stability.

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: So now you sit here and I didn't know what

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: the Giants are doing in the offseason when they brought

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 4: in Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston and then went.

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 5: Drafted Jackson Dart. But here we are, So I.

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: Think the only rightful decision for them to make now

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 4: is to go hire Lane Kiffin as head coach because

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: that's the only guy that knows Jackson Dart better than

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 4: any other coach in the NFL and is going to

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: be able to get the best out of him to

58
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: where Dart isn't going to have to now go into

59
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: a new situation and learn a whole new terminology and

60
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: a whole new way of doing things.

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 5: Kiffen knows him better than anybody.

62
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: Also, you know, that's a great idea I had Keifvin

63
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: in Miami, but Lane's been a head coach usc Ole

64
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Miss NFL. When you try to go, it's to be

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: a head coach to go to New York and be

66
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: a first time head coach. I mean, the talk radio,

67
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: it's the fans. It's hard, so.

68
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: That that is really that's a great idea.

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Caleb has been the opposite

70
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: of JJ McCarthy. Caleb's great late j JJ on the

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: first drive.

72
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: What do you what is your.

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: Takeaway on Caleb's performance during this winning streak kind of

74
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: it unlocks later in the game. Are you okay with that?

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 6: Uh?

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: I am okay with it because it's really about Caleb

77
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: and Ben Johnson finding a way to win.

78
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: And you know, I listen to what.

79
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: All these guys say because you can hear how they

80
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: really feel in what they're saying. After the games, and

81
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams talked about Ben Johnson and he said, you

82
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: know what, we're like a two punch tandem, and the

83
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: trust of the guys in the locker room and the

84
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 4: coaching staff has been a real big thing for them.

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: He talked about how Ben Johnson's information that he's providing

86
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: him and giving him helping him in preparation has gone

87
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: a long way with him to be effective at the

88
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: end of games. And what that is to say is

89
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: if you remember last year, there's the article came out

90
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: about how Matty Eberflus and the staff weren't really teaching

91
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams how to study in the NFL, how to

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: break down NFL defenses, and how to do those different things.

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: He's getting that now from Ben Johnson, and it makes

94
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 4: it to where he trusts what he sees when he's

95
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 4: on the field. Sometimes when you go into an environment

96
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 4: that you don't really know Colin and you don't really

97
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: know what you're supposed to be seeing, it's really hard

98
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: to pull that trigger. Caleb is doing that, especially in

99
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: critical moments. So I really believe that him and Ben

100
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: Johnson are winning. And I know that the teams that

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: they've beat over the last six weeks then they've won

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: six of the last seven have a combined record of

103
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: fifteen thirty three and one.

104
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 5: But in the NFL, you never apologize for winning games,

105
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 5: and winning games is really hard.

106
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: So they're building their relationship by winning the games in

107
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 4: front of them, And I couldn't be happier for him.

108
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I said earlier today, I said, I figured out every

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: team in the league. It took me ten weeks except Pittsburgh.

110
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: I don't know what I get. I don't know what

111
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: I get week to week half to half.

112
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: Clawber New England drop.

113
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: The Colts lost to the Bengals blown out by the

114
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: Chargers Green Bay. If you've ever been on a team,

115
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: usually you get a sense what a team is. Now

116
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: everybody has a stinger, but you kind of get a

117
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: sense of what a team is. What does it tell

118
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: you that Pittsburgh week to week is a totally different team,

119
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: energy focused, production, performance.

120
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 4: Why yeah, Colin, It's the first time I've ever felt

121
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: like the Pittsburgh Steelers don't have an identity.

122
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Why right.

123
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 4: Normally, when you think of the Steelers, you think they're

124
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 4: going to run the football and they're gonna play great defense. Well,

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: they can't run the football, and on defense, they're ranked

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: thirtieth in the NFL against the pass, so their defense

127
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: isn't great. They don't have a consistent identity weekend and

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: week out, And part of me thinks it is because

129
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: there might be a little bit of conflict in the

130
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: play calling. I watched them on fourth and goal and

131
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers through that back shoulder fade or what looked

132
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: like a fade to DK Metcalf, and it looked like

133
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 4: he said, signaled that to him or was the decision

134
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: that he made, but he had Pat Fryermuth coming wide

135
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: open right around the first down marker, which would have

136
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: put them at first in goal, but he didn't go there.

137
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: And when I watched some of the tags that they run,

138
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: Rogers notorious for adding tags to run plays and being

139
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: able to have the flexibility to do what he wants

140
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: in those situations. I don't know if there's a complete

141
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: trust there between Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers when it

142
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: comes to the play calling and how they're executing the offense.

143
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: And that's a problem because Rogers said he needs to

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: play better. He knows that he's a hall of They

145
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: brought him in there to study the ship. But if

146
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: they don't have an identity offensively on how they're going

147
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: to attack defenses weekend and week out, they can never

148
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: build on anything, and that's why they're having so much inconsistency.

160
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: Away, that's why we bring you on the show. That

161
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: was really good.

162
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: I got to ask you to college things because you

163
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: were a Heisman winner. They're certainly an argument all these

164
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: guys should come back. But I'm watching Mendos make those

165
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: throws on that last drive on the road, Robert, those

166
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: are Sunday throws. That kid is a big kid with

167
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: a big arm, And if you're going to be the

168
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: number one pick, you probably got to come out. And

169
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: then Dante more in terrible Iowa Weather is making a

170
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: throw at the right sideline. You're like, just let's talk.

171
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk both those guys. I think you have to

172
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: come out if you're the first or second pick. I agree,

173
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: let's talk Mendoza first and then Dante Moore. What do

174
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: you see from those two?

175
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, first thing I see from Fernando Mendoza is his

176
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: ability to command a room, like when this guy talks,

177
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 4: you know, I think this past weekend he said.

178
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: I'm willing to die on the field for my teammates.

179
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: Okay, well tell me an offensive lineman or a coach

180
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: or a GM that's not going to hear that and

181
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: be like, I.

182
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: Don't want that guy.

183
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: They would all want that guy because he seems to

184
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: be all about ball, and I was. The drive was

185
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: super impressive in his ability to make those big time

186
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: NFL throws at pressure in his face, But I was

187
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: even more impressed with the last one for the touchdown.

188
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: I know it was an amazing catch by Omar Cooper Junior,

189
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: but the fact that Mendoza made that throw in that

190
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: moment literally getting you know, his face knocked off and

191
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 4: just gets up and walks off like it's nothing. That

192
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: to me, it was his Heisman moment one hundred percent.

193
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: But it was also the moment that every NFL scout

194
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: is going to look at and say, that's my quarterback.

195
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got all the measurables, he's got all the intangibles.

196
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. And Dante Moore played in lousy weather. He moves better, Yeah,

197
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: he to me, he again He's just slick.

198
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: He moved.

199
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: He is a twenty twenty five NFL quarterback and he's

200
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be the nicest, most humble kid.

201
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: What do you see with him?

202
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think for Dante Moore, it's uh, everything that

203
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: Mendoza has that that that Dante doesn't, he makes up

204
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: for with his playmaking ability. I think Mendoza's got the

205
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: big arm, the big body, the frame, and he's and

206
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: he's got the toughness. Dante's got all that and a

207
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: little bit of a smaller package. But when I watch

208
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 4: him throw, because I'm calling their game this week with

209
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: Jason Bennetti in a Lex Atlanti story against Minnesota, when

210
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: you watch him.

211
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 5: Throw, it's just like the ball always gets to the

212
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 5: right place.

213
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say this, and maybe people might get

214
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: mad at me about it, but he reminds me of

215
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: if you put Dylan Gabriel and Sear Sanders in the same.

216
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 5: Body, that that is what he has.

217
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 4: Because for Dylan Gabriel there in Cleveland right now, there's

218
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 4: a little bit of like what's missing. I think Dante

219
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: has that he has that special playmaking ability inside of

220
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 4: him and he doesn't unleash it. All the time, but

221
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: you saw it on like a forty yard run against

222
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: Iowa this past weekend.

223
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: By the way, you've been joined by somebody behind you

224
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: the couch. Who is the uh it's one of your

Speaker 7: All right, let's go to the Buffalo Bills. Colin brutal

236
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 7: loss for them to my on the road.

237
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: Now.

238
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 7: The report's coming out that Josh Allen was down with

239
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 7: the South Beach flu, so maybe this.

240
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: Should be excused. He was quite bad the brutal red zone.

241
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 7: Pick the fumble, My guy, James Cook did not Cook

242
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 7: had a bad fumble. It was just an all around

243
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 7: letdown performance, which shouldn't surprise people.

244
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: We try to.

245
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 7: Educate the folks, don't we call him Hey, you beat

246
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 7: the Chiefs, They're probably is going.

247
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: To be a letdown against Miami.

248
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: Anyway.

249
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,119
Speaker 7: Here's Josh Allen on his team's gross performance.

250
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 8: They came ready to play. They wanted it obviously a

251
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 8: little more than us. I gotta be better. I'd be

252
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 8: better in the protection game, in the past game, in

253
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 8: the wrong game, all of it. You know, it's anytime

254
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 8: you turn it over three times two in the red zone.

255
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 8: Really you could count that last one, you know, driving

256
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 8: kind of going into the red zone. So that's that's

257
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 8: a recipe for disaster.

258
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 7: It was ninety degrees in Miami, a little hot into

259
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 7: the collar for Josh and company.

260
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Well, I you know, I get that. I mean I

261
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: do get the Northern teams come down and it's hot,

262
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: Like I do get. But it's just to me, they

263
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: no energy. I mean, you have to account for that.

264
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: Like if you know, guys, it's gonna be hot, we're

265
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna wear out. Then you have to have a great

266
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: first quarter. You got to just sell to your team.

267
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: We got to come out. We're gonna have twelve scripted plays.

268
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: We gotta be dialed in because we're gonna fade in

269
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: this weather. We don't plan this weather, we don't practice

270
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: in it. But to be just out man sixteen nothing

271
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: at half with Josh Allen and James Cook, that's not

272
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: good enough.

273
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: They didn't have ninety yards. They zero for six on

274
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 3: third down in the first half.

275
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: Ninety total yards against Miami's d.

276
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was weird.

277
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 7: Now, I'm not excusing the Bills, but again, this is

278
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 7: a week to week league.

279
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: You know that, Colin.

280
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 7: I'm seeing reports that they were down by at the

281
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 7: end of the game as many as five defensive starters,

282
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 7: and Tua looked good other than two arm punts. Tua

283
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 7: looked pretty good. Wata looked pretty good. I gotta ask you,

284
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 7: Tampa Bay at Buffalo this week, Buffalo laying five and

285
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 7: a half at home.

286
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: What's the lean there? Remember week to week league, Tampa,

287
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: by the.

288
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 7: Way, got smashed at home by the Patriots nys early.

289
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: I shouldn't put you on this.

290
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: I Buffalo's my play here, Yeah, yeah, Buffalo's my play now.

291
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: We got to see the injuries.

292
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 7: Obviously, they're gonna need their defense because Baker, Abuca and Baker,

293
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 7: they've got some like mind meld going on. That's really good.

294
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 7: But I think Tampa's a little overrated and I think

295
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 7: Buffalo Bounce is back strong.

296
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: Don't write them.

297
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Off yet, folks.

298
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: Next up the Ditch de Troit Lions.

299
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 7: I can't tell if people are making too much of

300
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 7: this or not, but let's get into it here. So

301
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 7: before the game, there was a report from NFL Network

302
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 7: that Dan Campbell might be calling the place. Well, Campbell

303
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 7: takes over the play calling. However, there's some dispute as

304
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 7: to when it happened. Was a full game, was it halftime? Anyways,

305
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 7: here's Dan Campbell talking about calling plays instead of his

306
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 7: OC John Morton.

307
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 9: I know what I want to do, I know how

308
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 9: I want to do it. Now that being said, this

309
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 9: is a collaborative effort. Now it was honest. It was.

310
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 9: It was he and I and we were good. And

311
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 9: it's like I told, man, I need you, you know

312
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 9: I need you, and but I feel like, you know,

313
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 9: this is something that I'm going to do. And listen,

314
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 9: John Morton's all team man, that's all he cares about.

315
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's not ideal.

316
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 7: Well listen, you know at halftime something seemed to change.

317
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 7: Our staff is hot on the idea that Jamison Williams

318
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: somebody got the memo at halftime. Maybe Dan Campbell that

319
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 7: Jamo was unhappy he was force fed in.

320
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: The second half. Did you see him kind of go off? Yep,

321
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: absolutely to a point. You know, they need Jamis and

322
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: Williams to develop.

323
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 7: We know Willaporta and Amarah Gibbs Montgomery, but they could

324
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 7: use Williams to in the postseason against some of the

325
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 7: elite teams. I am curious, though, this was against a

326
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 7: Washington team that.

327
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Is total crap.

328
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 7: They've given up so many points and yards in the

329
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 7: last four weeks. They've lost each of those games by

330
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 7: twenty one or more points.

331
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: So are you ready to crown Dan Campbell or do

332
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: you need to see it next week against I don't

333
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: know the Eagles before we say yeah, Dan Campbell knows

334
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: what he's doing. Well, he knows what he's doing.

335
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: I just think I think your bigger issue is you

336
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: lost the best OC in the league and now you're

337
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: taking over duties. You can put as much makeup on

338
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: that story as you want. That's not ideal, that's not

339
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: what you want.

340
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 7: And Minnesota, you know, Brian Flores had a good game

341
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 7: plan last week and kind.

342
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: Of bodied them. I don't want to overreact here.

343
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 7: If I'm Detroit, because again, Washington team is rotten Colin Day,

344
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 7: there's a lot of quit on that team. I think

345
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 7: Detroit scored on their first seven possessions well to start

346
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 7: the game.

347
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: Just up and downsfield.

348
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Washington's the oldest team in the league. Pittsburgh's the second oldest.

349
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: They're both fading fast.

350
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a nice hot take.

351
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: Or will Pittsburgh bounce back? I mean, like, I feel

352
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: like Washington it's over.

353
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: It's over.

354
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh could come back next week and win by fourteen.

355
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: I don't know what they.

356
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 7: Are so I only made one bet last night, Washington,

357
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 7: do you want to hear about their game this week?

358
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 7: So after that bludgeoning at home where they were boot

359
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 7: off the field stands for empty in like the fourth quarter,

360
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 7: Washington goes to Madrid to face the Miami Dolphins.

361
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: But after Madrid, Washington has a bye week.

362
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 7: So I wonder if the wives and girlfriends are like, hey,

363
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 7: let's just make it two weeks in Europe. Let's stay

364
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 7: away from Washington. I think Washington's totally done. I think

365
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 7: Miami's decided this week. It's a little early to talk.

366
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 7: But when you're hot, you're hot. And he thoughts Miami Washington.

367
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, Mike McDaniel a bit of a resurrect. We had

368
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: him fired three or four weeks ago, and he's had

369
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: a couple impressive wins. So remember the coaching staff at Miami.

370
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: The owner in.

371
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: Miami said, GM is gone. We believe in Mike McDaniel.

372
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: So he got Now it's a public vote of confidence.

373
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: But I will say this, by giving the coach a

374
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: public vote of confidence, he still has leverage with players,

375
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: or at least some level of respect. Well, they responded

376
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: so twice since that story came out, Miami's played excellent football.

377
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: They deserve credit.

378
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, final story, Colin is Monday Night football, Micah Parsons

379
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 7: and the Packers hosting the Eagles. We're on opposite sides here,

380
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 7: but we want to remind everybody that Philadelphia made a

381
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 7: push to land Micah Parsons when the Cowboys were allegedly

382
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 7: thinking they would trade Parsons. Of course, Dallas said they

383
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 7: had zero interest in setting.

384
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: Him to a division rival.

385
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 7: According to a report, Dallas did not want him going

386
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 7: to the Eagles so badly they are included a poison

387
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 7: pill condition in the trade, stating that if the Packers

388
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 7: send him to any team in the NFC East, it'll

389
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 7: cost them a twenty twenty eight first round pick. Jerry

390
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 7: Jones really does not want Micah in Philly.

391
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: So that's a fun little supply.

392
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you don't even want to send him

393
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: to an NFC team, and if you do, you're gonna

394
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: make sure he's not going back to burn you in division.

395
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: So for years and years there was kind of a

396
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: rule you never trade a star in conference. So the

397
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: fact that they did that Dallas is like, Okay, we'll

398
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: do it. You're not sending him to the Giants or

399
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles. It's not gonna work out that And so

400
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: I I think green Bay doesn't want to trade him.

401
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't give you all these first round

402
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: picks because they're gonna move him. And he's a very

403
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: good player. He's in his prime for the next five years,

404
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: and I think it's very I think green Bay accepted

405
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: that for a lot of reasons. It's reasonable and they're

406
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: not moving off Micah.

407
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

408
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 7: If I told you today I see green Bay and

409
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 7: Buffalo in the Super Bowl, you would say.

410
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. If I told you it is rams

411
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, you would say, I think the Rams

412
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: pick is good.

413
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 7: I don't know if the case is a playoff team.

414
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 7: Ton I'm sorry they got dead for this week. Favored

415
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,840

Speaker 1: these New York football operations. I mean that the Giants

423
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: looked at the Jets and said, oh, that worked out

424
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: so well. Firing solimn mid season. I think we'll just

425
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: copy him.

426
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: Brother, It's the Herd.

00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,399

Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app.

430
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: So Giants fired their head coach, Brian Dable. The guy

431
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: that will be the interim former NFL player Mike Kofka,

432
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: he's interviewed for several jobs, has not landed those jobs.

433
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: But Matt hassel Back a couple of hours ago on

434
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: Kafka and the Kafka and the move going forward for

435
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: the Giants.

436
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 10: And they're going to do a full search on anybody

437
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 10: on the planet that they think can help get it right.

438
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 10: But they have this guy that this is like a

439
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 10: little bit of an audition. I mean, he's the guy

440
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 10: for the last wedding like three or four years. His

441
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 10: name surfaces every time because they think that he's a.

442
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: Great quarterback whisperer. Let's see.

443
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 10: His personality is completely different than Brian Daball.

444
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: Brian Daball's got it.

445
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 10: Where's his emotion?

446
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: Like? You see it, you know it.

447
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 10: Mike Kafka is not like that. So it's an opportunity

448
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 10: for the Giants to see what they have.

449
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. I mean again quarterback and has a

450
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: connection with Jackson Dart. Let's see how it works. Robert

451
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: Griffin came on. He's got a different.

452
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: Idea for the Giants.

453
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: I think they need to get rid of everybody.

454
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: I don't love the fact that they fired Brian Dable

455
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: at this point in the season.

456
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 5: You're two and eight.

457
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: Normally, when coaches get fired in season, it's because you

458
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 4: already know the guy that you want to go get

459
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 4: and you want to get ahead of that, or you're

460
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: thinking it's going to spark the team.

461
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 5: This team is out out of the playoffs. But here

462
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 5: we are, so I.

463
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: Think the only rightful decision for them to make now

464
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: is to go hire Lane Kiffin as a head coach,

465
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 4: because that's the only guy that knows Jackson Dart better

466
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: than any other coach in the NFL and is going

467
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: to be able to get the best out of him.

468
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you strike when the iron is hot,

469
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: and right now on Lane Kiffen, the iron is hot.

470
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: I if i'm Lane Kiffin's agent, which I'm sure it's

471
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Sexton. He's everybody's agent in college. I did the NFL.

472
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: It was a it was old Al Davis and the Raiders.

473
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: You can always go back to college, Lane Kiffin, junk,

474
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: You can always.

475
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: Go back to college.

476
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get a New York Giants offer again.

477
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Right and by the way, Ole miss, this is about

478
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: where it's gonna be. Kaylin de Boor is not going

479
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: anywhere to Alabama. Kirby Smart's not an NFL guy. He's

480
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: got to go to college as go to college job

481
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: or you're.

482
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 3: Gonna have a Georgia. So, Kirby Smart and Kaylen de

483
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: Boor are humming.

484
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: Texas. A and M has boatloads of money and everybody

485
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: loves that coach. Stark's gonna probably make it for some

486
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: time at Texas. So it's a very crowded SCC. Or

487
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: you can go to the NFL. You're gonna make a

488
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: lot of money. You already got your quarterback and you

489
00:22:54,119 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: like him. Now, Matt rule to the NFL didn't work,

490
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: but I didn't necessarily. First of all, that organization and

491
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: that owner at that time highly temperamental, very erratic. The

492
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Mars aren't erratic. I don't know if they're highly competent,

493
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: but they're not erratic.

494
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

495
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if I was Laye Kiffin, I can

496
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: come back to college and Texas A and M's got

497
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: more money than Old Miss. Georgia's got more money than

498
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: Old Miss, and Alabama's got a much bigger brand than

499
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: oll Miss. Well what about LSU the governor runs the program? No,

500
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: thank you, So i'd go pro. I would go to

501
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: Miami or the Giants if I was laying Kiffin.

502
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: Colin, can I throw a curveball at you? Okay?

503
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 7: And I'm not saying that this job is better than

504
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 7: the Giants, But the Tennessee Titans job is open. It

505
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 7: is in a much more winnable division. Hold on, hold on,

506
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 7: because we don't know if the Colts are going to

507
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 7: be good. Let's just be real, do we know Jacksonville's

508
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 7: myer to mediocrity and the Texans seem to be flailing? Okay,

509
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 7: Philadelphia Eagles are not going anywhere and cam Word was

510
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 7: the number one pick overwhelmingly. Are we sure the Giants

511
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 7: job is better than Tennessee Because the.

512
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: GM right now in New York, I don't know how.

513
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 7: The hell he's still employed. He has made blunder after blunder,

514
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 7: extending Jones, moving off Barkley. I mean, I don't know

515
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 7: how he's still got his job.

516
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: I don't know that.

517
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 7: I would definitely take the Giants over Tennessee.

518
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: Well, you would probably have more pull in Tennessee the

519
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: media and Tennessee how are they to deal with?

520
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: That's what I thought.

521
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you go to New York. Those guys

522
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: are rabbit. They want wins.

523
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 7: They think that this is still a franchise that won

524
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 7: a bunch of Super Bowls with parcels.

525
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: Gay, you know what the New York football operations are now,

526
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: and like this is understood in the league. You use

527
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: them to get a better offer.

528
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

529
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: I mean Mike Rabel was rumored to be with the Jets.

530
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: Oh please, he didn't want to be with the Jets.

531
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: He wanted he wanted the Patriots job. And Josh McDaniel.

532
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: That's what people do in this league. Harball was rumored,

533
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: Oh Jim Harball New York. New York football operations are

534
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: used by the top guys to end up going places

535
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: that are better jobs, just.

536
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 7: Like the New York Knicks for years, remember all the

537
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant.

538
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: Lebron all this stuff.

539
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 7: They were never going to go play for Dolan And

540
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 7: now you got Woody Johnson and Lamara family.

541
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: And but honestly, how many wins did.

542
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 7: You say in the playoffs for the Giants in the

543
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 7: last decade?

544
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: Is it one?

545
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 7: Yeah?

546
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: That Daniel Zones went over Minnesota.

547
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just don't think it's as great of a

548
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 7: job as everybody else does.

549
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: Well, no, I think. I mean, I listen, there are

550
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. The job is as good as the quarterback.

551
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: If you have a quarterback that's good in his prime,

552
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: Like when Mike McCarthy got the Packers job, that was

553
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: a great job. Aaron Rodgers late prime, that's as good

554
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: as it gets Yeah, I think Mike McCarthy getting Dak

555
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: that's a really good job. Horball getting her that's an

556
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: a job, but most jobs. And that's why I'm saying,

557
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart in the building and you've coached him for

558
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: three years, Lane Kiffin, pretty good.

559
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 7: Gig Let me ask you can Jet, what's the ceiling

560
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 7: on Jackson Dart? Can he be a top ten quarterback

561
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 7: in the NFL.

562
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: At this current time? He can't stay out of the tent.

563
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 7: So he can't really be. So I don't again. I

564
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 7: know people are gonna be like, you're an idiot.

565
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: That's fine.

566
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 7: I would rather have draft picks galore like the Jets

567
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 7: than be wedded to Well, let's see what Jackson Darts

568
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 7: got for another year.

569
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: I just whoever gets Fernando Mendoza from Indiana that is

570
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: an a prospect.

571
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: I like him a lot. He is a nice drive against.

572
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Stake first of all, brainiac major league size, big boy arm.

573
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not and he can move enough. He's

574
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: an a prospect, like like Caleb was an a prospect,

575
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: Rake May was an a prospect. Jaden Daniels was great,

576
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: but he was spindily and we worried about that. But

577
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: Jackson Darts a B prospect, cam Ward probably a B

578
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: plus prospect. You don't get many a's you can get

579
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: about every other year. Joe Burrow was an A prospect,

580
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was an A prospect. You know, get a

581
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: lot of A prospects. Most of these guys, to me,

582
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: they're all B prospects.

583
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: I like Dante Moore. Mendoza is an A prospect. He's

584
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 3: got multiple years of starting though.

585
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: Mendoza, well, he's also big with an a arm.

586
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: Yes.

587
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 7: More in Simpson, like again, I like Simpson a lot,

588
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 7: but it's one year? Is he a twenty two twenty

589
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 7: three year first super senior dominating him?

590
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: In Ty Simpson When he was at Alabama, he didn't

591
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: play much for three years.

592
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 3: For three years.

593
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: If you were all that twenty nine or fifty five

594
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: with no touchdowns, he was a fifty five percent completion guy.

595
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean he was that duty yeah, yeah, or forty

596
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: eight fIF fifty eight, yeah, I mean he just wasn't.

597
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, now he gets to bore

598
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: the right oh see the right receivers. I'm Mendoz is

599
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: doing it with B level talent. They don't have a

600
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: lot of five star guys in Indiana.

601
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, and here's the best part. If you're the Jets,

602
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 7: not to take it away from the Giants, you draft

603
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 7: Mendoza and you don't like what you see and Aaron

604
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 7: Glenn doesn't work, you just move on. You got three

605
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 7: picks in the first round the following year, So, which

606
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 7: which apparently is.

607
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: A really to draft.

608
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't say this very often. Mendoz is gonna work.

609
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: That's not to think he would.

610
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an NFL quarterback.

611
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: Mendoz is an NFL If he goes draft at number

612
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: one or two, you're like, yeah, that's what that's what

613
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: it should look like.

614
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 7: Can we see him against the Ohio State defense, which

615
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 7: is freaking elite.

616
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: Nobody is gonna move the ball in Ohio State. Well,

617
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 3: I want to see him do it? Can he do it?

618
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: Can he know?

619
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: You don't think he's gonna be able to leave any

620
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: competitive in that game? Competitive?

621
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: Yes, competitive, but I don't think he's gonna move the

622
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: ball particularly well against Ohio State. Ohio State's got one

623
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: of the best defenses the last fifteen years.

624
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 7: If he vomits all over himself, you know, nine of

625
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 7: twenty five seventy five yards passing. I think then we

626
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 7: got some real questions because that defense has some NFL

627
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 7: dudes on it.

628
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,560
