But 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: just seeing her on camera, it's weird, like it released 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: like that oxytocin in your body that you like made 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: to that made you happy, Like just seeing her in something, 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: you know she was always so good and it was 43 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: like a breath of fresh air. And not many people 44 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: could do stuff like that, and and Catherine O'Hara was 45 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: able to do that throughout her career. 46 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you just go through the the IMDb 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 3: list and even just the recent of things. 48 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: I enjoined our Gyle. 49 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: I know that was not a movie that was embraced 50 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: by the masses, but a little departure of her normal character. 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 3: There Beetlejuice the sequel, right, Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice the Last of Us. 52 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 3: So Pedro Pascal had his tribute from hanging out with 53 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: her for a couple episodes, and then she was in 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 3: the studio and gave that was the last you know, 55 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: on camera stuff, But go all the way back and 56 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: all the different film clips from the mockumentaries on down. 57 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: For me, it's it's always that if she's in it, 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: it's gonna get my attention raised, that there's some merit 59 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: or she's doing a favor to someone she believes deserves 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: a shot. 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: And so like Beetlejuice too, all right, I'll do Beatle. 62 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't really need to do it, but okay, 63 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: I'll do it. Yeah, everybody else needs I'll do it. 64 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: And again, to me, that was one of those movies 65 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: that you went in and you accepted it for what 66 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: it was before the opening credits, right, you're just like, 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: all right, I'm e they're investing in this, you know, 68 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: and letting myself be entertained ish for a lot, for 69 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: a lot of it or not, but all of it 70 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: to say, it's you know, it's for pick your actor 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: or actress or director or whatever the case is. You know, 72 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 3: if Bruckheimer's attached, I know I'm getting a throw ride, right, 73 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: I know I'm I'm going on a big adventure from 74 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: his production company.

I 80 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: remember seeing her live doing Sally's Song as part of 81 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: the Nightmare before Christmas with Elfman and the dearly departed 82 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: Paul Rubins on stage as well, So you know, just 83 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: such a part of our filmography, a collective filmography. 84 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: I guess you know, she was so good in the studio, 85 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: right she had that small arc in the Last of Us, 86 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: and I just her career as dotted by so many 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: great things. Right, Shit's Creek was fantastic, and that, you know, 88 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: that really gave her the the you know, another huge 89 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: role like when you're in your sixties, and she hits 90 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: it even bigger with a role like that is phenomenal. 91 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: But the one thing I hope though, coming off of this, 92 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 1: the one thing I hope is that people go back 93 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: and watch the Christopher Guest mockumentary trilogy of Waiting for Guffman, 94 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: A Mighty Wind in Best in Show, because Spinal Tap 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: it's all the attention of Spinal Tap two and all 96 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: those things. I get it. But those three movies that 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: were late nineties, early two thousands, all the Waiting for Guffman, 98 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: the first big mockumentary, A Mighty Wind about the reunion 99 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: of all these folk music acts from the sixties, and 100 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: then Best in Show, which is the mockumentary of the 101 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: west Chester the Westminster Dog and Kennel Show, and Fred 102 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: Willard is unbelievable in it like, she's so good in 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: all of these and they are all incredible actors. And 104 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: I hope that's what gets more of a push now 105 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: because everybody remembers her from what's going on here. But 106 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: go back and watch those three movies.

But it's time for a pretty big 127 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: bold prediction for next year. Why Well, today Todd Munkin, 128 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: brand new head coach of the Cleveland Brown's, former Ravens 129 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, met Shador Sanders, pro Bowl quarterback for the Browns. Now, okay, 130 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: at Shad Door Sander's really gonna be the quarterback? What's 131 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: going on? The Browns are an absolute mess? But uh, 132 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: this is the first meeting that cameras were there for 133 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: when Monkin met shador A Chadur walked into his office. 134 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: Take a listen, we'll go in. Oh yeah, puc them 135 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: back to the state helping man. 136 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: Then, we tried to draft your ass last year. 137 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 5: It's all worked out. 138 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: Todd Munkins saying, we tried to draft your ass last year, 139 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: Remember which the whole story that Dion didn't want Shador 140 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: to go to the Ravens because they had Lamar Jackson 141 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: even though they could have been a big landing spot. 142 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: I love the fact that Monkin brought that up. We 143 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: tried to draft your ass last year. But now it's 144 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: all worked out, right, It's it's all worked out. He's 145 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: here in Cleveland. I'm gonna guarantee you this right, just 146 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: seeing this meeting here, Monkin sounds overly positive about Shador, 147 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: and I will bet you opening week of this year, 148 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders is the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, 149 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: right for a couple of reasons, not just because suddenly 150 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders is great. But here comes Monkin. He's a 151 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: new head coach. All right, Well, they're gonna get their 152 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in the draft. There's nobody to get, right, you're 153 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: not getting anybody. You're getting you're getting in a Chador 154 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: Sanders Dylan Gabriel kind of way, where you're taking a 155 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: chance on someone who might need a little bit of seasoning, right, 156 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: because the only guy going really high in that draft 157 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: that's gonna play right away is for Nando Mendoza. Everybody 158 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: else is gonna sit a little bit. Ty Simpson, whatever 159 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: he goes, he's gonna sit. So the best thing the 160 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: Browns are gonna do is go get a quarterback like that. 161 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: So Shador Sanders is gonna have a leg up on 162 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: the competition there. There's a desire to see him play 163 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: when now he has the focus and the attention of 164 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: entire offseason being the number one guy. Before you turn 165 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: the page on Shador Sanders, you want to make sure 166 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: he can't do it. And the Browns it's an easy 167 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: year for them, right, Okay, we'll draft a quarterback of 168 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: the future later on. Right, well, we'll get somebody or 169 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, but hey, Chador this year, or hey, if 170 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: Shador stinks, hey we'll get back in the quarterback market 171 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: a year from now. But he's gonna get the first 172 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: shot at being the quarterback when you think the draft 173 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: options aren't great, he will try to fend off someone 174 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: like himself, which is great news. He'll be the starter. Now. 175 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: The tough news is that this is his last chance. 176 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: If he doesn't have a great start to the year 177 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: or a great year, he's done and the Browns will 178 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: be moving on a quarterback. So he's got this year 179 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: to be his proven year, his second year. But the 180 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: good news is for a fifth round pick to come 181 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: in and say, yeah, you're gonna get the first shot, 182 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: and you're gonna walk into campus the starting quarterback and 183 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna get every chance succeed in. As long as 184 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: you don't blow chunks and a guy comes in out 185 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: of knowwheer and beat you out. Guess what You're gonna 186 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback of the Browns opening day this fall. 187 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: That is absolutely going to have for all the questions. 188 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: You see Monken coming in, how excited he was to 189 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: meet Shador Sanders. There's no other way this offseason is 190 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna unfold the way the way where that's not gonna 191 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: be the case. 192 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 5: Right. 193 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: They're not gonna suddenly make a big tra for Kyler 194 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: Murray and say, hey, thanks, but we got Kyler Murray. No, 195 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: if they're doing anything, he's gonna want to go get 196 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: his quarterback of the future in the draft maybe next year. 197 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: Trust me, Shador Sanders number one quarterback of the Browns 198 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: opening week this year. 199 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: See, I would have loved to have been a fly 200 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: on the wall once that door shut and they started 201 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: having the real conversation. 202 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 4: It's like, you know, you could have had a year. 203 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: A learning already and you probably would have played some 204 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: substantive time because well, Lamar got hurt. But you have 205 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: the situation now, and I love how that was conveniently 206 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 3: forgotten by folks, particularly you know, the ex playing dopes 207 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: that always want to you know, shie, the media folks 208 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: and other talkers like no, no, you forgotten about the fact 209 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: that they wanted him in Baltimore a year ago and 210 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 3: that Monkin made Lamar Jackson I don't know, an MVP 211 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 3: along the way and go back to what he did 212 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: at Georgia, highly decorated run, a lot of stops, no 213 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: question about it, but a lot of sas culminating in this. 214 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: It's sad to whatever the relationship and however it ends 215 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: with Schwartz on the other side of the field. But 216 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 3: for now you've got a guy with a pedigrea, guy 217 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: who's clearly excited to work with you. Because I have 218 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: no doubt if you go back into what they were 219 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: doing for ahead of the twenty five draft, Mounkin was 220 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: a guy going, hey, this guy could help us out 221 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 3: right that he would have been pro Shador Sanders coming 222 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: on board, recognizing the need to learn and acclimate to 223 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 3: the NFL. Instead, you go to Cleveland, you play trial 224 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: by fire, and you post what you did. A couple 225 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: of big spots, a couple of big plays, but for 226 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: the most spot part, scattershot and some of the worst statistics. 227 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 4: Ever, even if you did end up in the Pro 228 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 4: Bowl games, so. 229 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: You give it a shot, and at worst you're still 230 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 3: the Browns and you're back up near the top of 231 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: the draft in twenty twenty seven. 232 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, tell me there's another solution that 233 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: stops the from happening. I mean, there's not. If they 234 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: were a team that hey, we're a quarterback away from winning, well, yeah, 235 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: then they're going into free agency and then they're training 236 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray or getting Kirk Cousins. But they're not. 237 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: They're starting over. And that's gonna be a very common 238 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: theme for most of the teams who's stunk in the 239 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: NFL this year is that, hey, we're starting over next year. 240 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Next year's year to get a quarterback. So, okay, whatever 241 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this year, we're gonna do it. You 242 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: already have a guy who played well in Spurts, and 243 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: now he's going to get an entire offseason as as 244 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: reps with the ones and and go in as the 245 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: as the unquestioned starter. So yeah, I mean, there's no 246 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: there's no scenario I can see this not happening. I mean, obviously, 247 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: barring an injury or but like of normal NFL offseason 248 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: stuff like he's gonna be starting Week one like that. 249 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: That's how it's going. 250 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: Well, just as we sit here and you start bringing 251 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: up the other names when you talk about to Uh 252 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: and Murray and Cousins and whomever else, that they would 253 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: be viable options if you already weren't in salary cap. Hell, right, 254 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 3: even with announced estimated three hundred and two million dollars 255 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 3: another twenty million dollars plus bump to the cap, there's 256 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: only five teams in a worse position as we sit 257 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 3: here today in terms of where their moneys are for 258 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, which means a lot of roster changing, 259 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 3: but doesn't suddenly afford you the ability to go and say, Okay, 260 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: maybe this guy would be our fix to go along 261 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: with that defense, which probably doesn't include the guy that 262 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: was running. 263 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: It last year. 264 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: So lots of change inevitability there in Cleveland. 265 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders, get ready your number one quarterback in Cleveland. 266 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: Week one exit out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome, 267 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios, 268 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: facing a peak season, looking for a new team member, workforce, 269 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: solutions from Express Employment Professionals make hiring easier with an 270 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: expresspros dot com to find an office and see how 271 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: Express can help you higher, smarter, and faster well Coming 272 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: up next.

Could a minute, I don't think I'm 339 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 5: getting to eleven, let's just say that same thing. 340 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: Could it just for a second, Could it possibly be 341 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: like maybe half of the voters? Could it maybe like 342 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: twenty five people didn't vote for Belichick out of this 343 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: because we don't think it's oh it's eleven or thirteen. 344 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: Could it be twenty five? Could it be more? 345 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 5: It should be? I kind of would doubt that. I 346 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 5: would think I think that he got thirty to thirty 347 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 5: five minimum. And this isn't just be getting ooh knows, okay. 348 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 5: I I think that based on the tone of the conversation, 349 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 5: most people were voting for him, and a lot of 350 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 5: people spoke up on his behalf. So that's just my 351 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 5: read on it. But you kind of never know. Look, 352 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 5: I just have great amount admiration for by Hey Gregorian, 353 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 5: for my chapel for stepping up and saying they didn't 354 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 5: vote for him and why, And again you may disagree 355 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 5: with why, but they had their reasons. And I will 356 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 5: say this I think there's a real problem when the 357 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame puts players in the same category with 358 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 5: executives and coaches, because we look at players differently. Those 359 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 5: of the guys are actually on the field who you know, 360 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 5: they put their they put you know, literally put their 361 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 5: lives and their health on the line for the game. 362 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 5: So I don't have a real big problem with something 363 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 5: wanting to put you know, whether it's Roger Craig or 364 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 5: Kenny Anderson or else Greenwood ahead of Bill Belichick. I 365 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 5: don't agree with it in this case. I think it's 366 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 5: a lot closer. When you talked about like Tom Coughlin 367 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 5: against Elsie Greenwood, that's a really tough conversation, right, and 368 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 5: I think that I would I would say Elsie Greenwood 369 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 5: in that case. Mike Shanahan probably side with Shanahan. Mike Holngrim, 370 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 5: I don't know. But when you get to Bill Belichick, 371 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 5: like there's eight Super Bowl rings in twelve Super Bowl 372 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 5: appearances or thirteen something like that, and it's like, you know, 373 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 5: for the better part of half of the century that 374 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 5: he was in the NFL, the road to the Super 375 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 5: Bowl goes through Bill Belichick. So I just that's where 376 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 5: I think he was the best candidate. I think. I 377 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 5: said this the other night, and I'll say it again. 378 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 5: If you take the five guys in that category that 379 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 5: we voted on, you know, the seniors, the coach, and 380 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 5: the contributor, and you put him together with the fifteen 381 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 5: guys in the player of the modern player category, I 382 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 5: still think Belichick is the best candidate of all twenty 383 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 5: people there. But you know that's just me. So you know, 384 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 5: I don't know what to tell you, but you know, 385 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 5: cheating is not like I think it's an overstated thing 386 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 5: in the NFL, based on the history of how this 387 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 5: league is operated and based on what we consider cheating, 388 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 5: you know, whether that's teds or whether that's you know, spying. 389 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 5: But I think he I think his record overwhelms us. 390 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 5: That's all I'm willing to say about. All right. 391 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: So we talked about this earlier in the week where 392 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: we said, you know, if you're looking for a villain 393 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: from this whole storyline, the villain might be the voting 394 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: process itself, and maybe that needs to be changed. Would 395 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: you say that if the voting process was different, that 396 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: Belichick would have got in, Like like what I said, Like, 397 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: are you seeing like Gregorian who was like, hey, there 398 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: were more people like Gregorian who said, you know, I 399 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: wanted to vote for the players first, or maybe more 400 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: people like Chapel who said, well I had a problem 401 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: with Spygate, Like what was what was the bigger reason 402 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: you think he got he was kept out? 403 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 5: I have no idea, Okay, because you know, I don't 404 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 5: want to get too deep in the discussion. Let me 405 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: just say this that I didn't get a sense of 406 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 5: what was like if you want to put them in order, 407 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 5: I don't have any idea of how to put them 408 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 5: in order, whether it was other you know, senior players 409 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 5: versus five gate versus you know, who knows what reason 410 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 5: you have? Right, I can't order it. It's some conglabortion 411 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 5: of them. But a big problem, this is absolutely true, 412 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 5: a huge, huge problem with both this category and more 413 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 5: so this category that we're talking about, that's the three 414 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 5: senior players with the coach and the contributor, and then 415 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 5: similarly with the modern day players. The fifteen is the 416 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 5: voting system. The math does not work to get guys in, 417 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 5: It works to keep guys out, and that is in 418 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 5: some respects to the current goal of the Pro Football 419 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame when they change these rules that you 420 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 5: know a year ago. This is the second year that 421 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 5: we've done this, and they have wanted to make it 422 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 5: more exclusive because they've gotten a lot of complaints from 423 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 5: you know, guys who were you know, members of the 424 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, you know, and you know, the chief 425 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 5: coulfort of this is Dean Sanders, who had the unmitigated 426 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 5: goal to complain about the process when he's been complaining 427 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 5: about you know, too many guys getting in, right, He's 428 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 5: one of the guys who spurred this change, not not 429 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 5: maybe not directly, but there are a lot of other 430 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 5: guys who sit there and say, you know, who's this guy? 431 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 5: Why is he getting in? Why is he getting in? 432 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: And you know, it's like once you get in that club, 433 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 5: it's like you make you want to make it even 434 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 5: more exclusive than it already is. And I just kind 435 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 5: of look at those guys and go stop. You know, 436 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 5: I mean, the Hall of Fame did make a mistake, 437 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 5: I think, and putting too many guys in one year 438 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 5: when they had that kind of absurd blue ribbon thing 439 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 5: that they did five years ago, I thought that went 440 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 5: over the top and that spurred a lot of this conversation. 441 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 5: But the problem is not getting in modern day guys. 442 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 5: And we do have this thort of backlog of five 443 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 5: or six guys who were in the coaching contributor position craft, 444 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 5: and we just talked about the other coaches we need 445 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 5: to get into the Hall of Fame. They deserve to 446 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 5: get in the Hall of Fame, and instead we have 447 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 5: put up more walls for them. 448 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 3: I'm going to start writing two letters a week to 449 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 3: get my changes done. But since Deonne Sanders screwed this up, 450 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 3: let's talk about something else and screwed up and continue 451 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: that road. As Kevin Stefanski got fired after putting two 452 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: guys in the Pro Bowl games. 453 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 5: J Cole, it is a remarkable year that the Cleveland 454 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 5: Browns had that they you know that they traded away 455 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 5: one Pro Bowls quarterback to start another one and then 456 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 5: fired the coach above. Isn't that? That is like FM 457 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 5: essential Browns, Isn't it? Explained? 458 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: Suns it up Before before the season started, Jay Cole, 459 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: I went to Vegas. I said, I want to bet 460 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: that right now the Browns have not one, but two 461 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are going to make the Pro Bowl on 462 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: their roster. The odds they would have given me. I 463 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: could have bought the Jets. I mean really, I'd have 464 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: made enough money just by betting very ten bucks. I 465 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: could have bought the Jets with the odds they would 466 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: have given me. 467 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 5: You are begging you, you please, you know the best 468 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 5: part of this week is that you know in getting 469 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 5: Frank right, consuming that that goes through, you'll at least 470 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 5: have your next interim coach on staff. 471 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: Yes week six will be the head coach. Yeah, that's 472 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: how it's going to go. 473 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 5: There is no question about that now. I mean, you 474 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 5: were the when it was like, hey, the Browns will 475 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 5: have five starting quarterbacks and that was that was a 476 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 5: pretty good bet. That was a pretty good bet, man, 477 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 5: It really was. Yeah, it was you you're pretty close 478 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 5: and them made the Pro Bowl? Like what an a 479 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 5: certain thing? I mean, like it just is. I just 480 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 5: wish that I wish that Roger would put the Pro 481 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 5: Bowl out of its adventury. It is really like I 482 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 5: shouldn't I shouldn't use that description, but it's a it's 483 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 5: a lame animal. It needs to it needs to just 484 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 5: go the way of the dinosaur. Just name name the 485 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 5: All Star team, have them all stand up before the 486 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 5: Super Bowl. But in the pregame show, everybody wave, here's 487 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 5: the here's the Pro Bowl team for each conference.

Conversation can kind of go away, 500 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: how dare you? 501 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 5: Well he's elitely wealthy, that's what that's Yeah, there you go. 502 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: All right, so let me let me ask you this 503 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: last one. So today the Vikings fire there GM right, 504 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: Quasy Duffel Metsic gets fired. We hear stories that yeah, 505 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: maybe he didn't get along, and you know, they the 506 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: baddest spotty track record with Sam Darnold in the Super 507 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Bowl and they let him walk out. That's absolutely the 508 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: reason why he got fired yes or no. 509 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 5: I think it was the last straw of being too 510 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 5: involved in the quarterback process. Like a certain point, you 511 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 5: pick out players and you let the coach make a 512 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 5: decision on which ones he wants. He wants okay, and 513 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 5: you can't supersede the coach because he's got to run 514 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,479 Speaker 5: the team the way he wants. And I think you know, 515 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 5: o'conne will definitely wanted to keep Sam right because he 516 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 5: didn't trust what he had. You know, he was still 517 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 5: thinking about you know, he was out there, you know, 518 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 5: wondering about Aaron Rodgers, wondering about Sam. You know, let 519 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 5: him keep the guy if he's trying to win right now, 520 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 5: and let McCarthy sit for a while. I think that 521 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 5: that was he forced himself on that decision too much, 522 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 5: and you paid the price when you force yourself decision. 523 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 5: And that the job of a general manager is to 524 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 5: gather players. You hand those players over to the coach 525 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 5: and he runs the team at that point in time. 526 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 5: I really firmly believe that. And if there's a question, yeah, 527 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 5: you guys can debate it out, but ultimately it's the 528 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 5: it's the coach this decision. Like Kevin Colbert in Pittsburgh 529 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 5: was the best ever at this in terms of understanding 530 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 5: that there's a wall between the two. Right, and I 531 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 5: go out and scout, I go find players. I do 532 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 5: my best. I gather them, I hand them with the 533 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 5: coaching staff. They got to run at day to day 534 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 5: because they're the ones who have to live with these guys, 535 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 5: and they're the ones who have to win with these guys. 536 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 5: This gut messy and he went. He went too far. 537 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: He is Pro Football Hall of Same voter Jason Cole. 538 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no no, it's very good. 539 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: Full circle now you say, Now, listen, I'm haull of 540 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: very good. 541 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 5: Uh, I'm defeated. I'm just I've lost. I can't, I can't, 542 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 5: I can't have the gumption anymore. 543 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 4: I'll send you an extra sandwich right there. 544 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you definitely heard an extra sandwich this week, 545 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: my friend, extra sandwich for you next time.

But let me throw this out 657 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: there for you, when you talk about a guy who 658 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: might be available just because of how badly this season ended, 659 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: and sometimes seasons end so bad, Mike, that it's hard 660 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: to bring a guy back because you're just waiting to 661 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: let him go, right, Like I always I always say, 662 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: when you see a guy miss a couple of field goals, 663 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: big fieldals at the end of a season, or you 664 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: see a guy miss a couple of big field goals 665 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: early part of the season, and the coaches all, we're 666 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: gonna keep you, well, guess what you should move on 667 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: because everybody's just waiting for you to miss another field goal. 668 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: And then we got to cut you, right, so it's like, Okay, 669 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: we know you're just gonna move on, and let's sometimes 670 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: some things are so bad we're just waiting for you 671 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: to stink again and then we're moving on. But after 672 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: how badly this season ended. And he's definitely attractive because 673 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: we have seen him do it just a couple of 674 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: years ago, but the last couple of years not quite 675 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: as good as the years before it. Right, it's a 676 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: Hunger Games like career for this because the first year 677 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: was great, second year not as good as the first, 678 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: the third year not as good as the second, like 679 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: the third Hunger Games movie, not as good as the second, 680 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: which was not as good as the first. But it 681 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: ended so badly this season. I would call the Texans 682 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: and say, what do you guys want for CJ. Stroud 683 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: because this was just this season ended so poorly for them. 684 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: Where they're looking at saying we should be in the 685 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: super Bowl with this defense, we should be in the 686 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Doesn't matter. We don't have a lot of 687 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: weapons offensively with this, dear, we should have beaten the Patriots, 688 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: but we had five fumbles from our quarterback who couldn't 689 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: complete a pass and then you know, the week before, 690 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about or we're talking about the 691 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: five fumbles, the week before, we're talking about the interceptions. 692 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: He had nine nine potential turnovers in the final two 693 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Right, yeah, you can't have it's 694 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,479 Speaker 1: hard to have him back after those back to back 695 00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: two game meltdowns. Four interceptions after a five fumble game, 696 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a three year decline for Houston. They 697 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 1: would have beaten New England with lots of quarterbacks, even backups, 698 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: Like if the Texans had Jacobe Brissett, they probably would 699 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 1: have won that game. They probably would wound up beating 700 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Have been playing the Broncos in the AFC 701 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: Championship game. So like you talk about five fumbles, Okay, 702 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: you're lucky to get by because the team you're playing 703 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: is not nearly as good. And then you have four 704 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: interceptions the next week and you really torpedo your way 705 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: of winning that game. Like it's really hard. This wasn't 706 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: just he had a couple of disappointing games. This was 707 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: all time two awful games in a row, where coming 708 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: off a three year decline, you wonder is he ever 709 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: going to get back to be in the quarterback he 710 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: was here and if we do bring him back, are 711 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: we just waiting for him to stink so we can 712 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: move on after this year? 713 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 5: Right? 714 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: There's teams that would say, hey, we think we can 715 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: get CJ. Stroud back to where he was as a rookie. 716 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: You know, hey, let's do something for him because the Texans, 717 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna spend the entire offseason going. If 718 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: we just had slightly below average play from our quarterback, 719 00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,479 Speaker 1: we'd probably be in the super Bowl. 720 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 3: You got one more a year before you have the 721 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 3: option comes up here for your thirty six point three 722 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 3: million dollars twenty seven is the option for him played 723 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: without Nico Collins, obviously a big chip off the off 724 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 3: the board and an offense that, like Tank Dell got 725 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 3: hurt again. But the thought that you were really banking 726 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 3: on him to be a number two kind of fell off. 727 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 3: You got the Eyowa State guys that acquitted themselves nicely, 728 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 3: but still need to take a big step forward. You 729 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 3: still haven't figured out how to put together a starting 730 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 3: five on the offensive line. 731 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 4: So that's not helping anything until you fix that. CJ. 732 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 3: Stroud is back there and he's always going to be 733 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 3: sped up, right that that internal clock's never getting reset 734 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 3: to what we saw his rookie year. I think it 735 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 3: would be worth kicking the tires, but recognizing that you 736 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: have him for one year and that's the that's the investment. 737 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 3: So if you're looking for a project with potential huge upside, 738 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 3: it's there. But maybe I'm wrong on the huge upside. 739 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 3: Maybe he's maybe it's done. Maybe that was an anomaly 740 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 3: that initial season. What if what what? What if that's 741 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 3: as good as a guy. 742 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the first person to peak as a freshman, 743 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. And I know I know a lot 744 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: of people in school that that happened to Mike Carmon. 745 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 4: I mean that was the last It wouldn't be the 746 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 4: last guy. 747 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: I mean really just because it was. It was so 748 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: bad how it ended, and you don't know how you're 749 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: gonna get you you're gonna likely move on anyway, Like 750 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: unless he has an incredible year this year, but I mean, 751 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't been as good as he was since his 752 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: first year. Yeah, at this point, you're not picking up 753 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: that option as it stands anyway, And and some things 754 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: are just said, do you really think that all of 755 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: a sudden, he's gonna get it in the offseason and go, wow, 756 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: all right, I'm sorry, Malik Willis is bad. Oh no, 757 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: he's uh. CJ. Stroud is back, man, let's go get 758 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: I I I don't see that. And I think if 759 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: you can move on from in a in an off 760 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: season where there's not a lot of quarterbacks out there, 761 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: and he clearly would be someone that hey, he's a 762 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: reclamation project for a team, going, we can get you 763 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: back to being that guy that was just a couple 764 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: of years ago. Man, we can fix you. 765 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 766 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: I'd absolutely make that phone call. And I wonder how 767 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: receptive the Texans would be to say, Okay, let's figure 768 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 1: out a way to move on. We love we love 769 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: our defense, We're coming back at it next year. We 770 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: had a couple of weapons. Yeah, let's go. I wonder 771 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: how receptive they be to that phone call. 772 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. As we have the bye week before the Super Bowl, 773 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 3: it's one of the things on my long list to 774 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 3: talk about the mechanics and the filmography of CJ. Stroud 775 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 3: with Greg Gosal Sunday morning here on Fox Sports Radio. 776 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 3: Is he fixable? Is he salvageable? Because at this point, 777 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 3: you're now looking at a guy that's gonna if you're 778 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 3: going to extend him, it's a two hundred million dollar, 779 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 3: two fifty kind of deal. 780 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 4: Are you going that way based on what you saw? 781 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: Probably not exit out about a Fresca exit swelling dome 782 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Carbon again, see Jay Stroud called the 783 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: Texans because you never know how receptive they'd be. Coming 784 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: up next, we get back into a big story out 785 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: of basketball that could affect football all as well. Wait 786 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: what that's next, Jason to Mike Fox
