Speaker 1: So that's when a happy new year to you. What's
Speaker 1: going on, Frankie? What's a happy new year to you?
Speaker 1: And everybody at home watching and listening. Very excited to
Speaker 1: that funk a little football, have a little fun. Latest
Speaker 1: from your guy Dave Gettleman coming out with a big
Speaker 1: press conference right now, the season ending press conference. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: nice little uh, nice little season cap here from your
Speaker 1: boy d G. And it's nice, I mean there's some
Speaker 1: things that are just I'm not being since here at all. Great.
Speaker 1: I know, I know there's some things that are here
Speaker 1: that are ridiculous where he's singing like, oh I did
Speaker 1: my perception of the team was totally right last year.
Speaker 1: I made no mistakes like what oh yeah, that's exactly
Speaker 1: what you want from your from your GM, Greg no uh,
Speaker 1: no accountability. I would do the see Kuan pick over
Speaker 1: and over again. And you know, to the general fan
Speaker 1: right like you look at what se Kwan did, like
Speaker 1: there's no doubting the talent, like you're you're right about
Speaker 1: the talent, like he he is a generational talent, touched
Speaker 1: by God. Two thousand yards from scrimmage. Is a rookie,
Speaker 1: third player ever to do that in NFL history. He's awesome.
Speaker 1: Giants won five games. Great. So to sit there and
Speaker 1: say like I would do nothing over again, like you
Speaker 1: would not draft a quarterback and given you know Josh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to reach out a quarterback. Rosen hasn't
Speaker 1: looked great yet, but the offensive line was, you know,
Speaker 1: a mess with the Cardinals this year. He didn't have
Speaker 1: much going on with him. He went through a coordinator
Speaker 1: change between Sam Donald, Josh Allen LaMarche action, Like you
Speaker 1: have all these guys who at least have shown some
Speaker 1: promise this season, and you know at least those those
Speaker 1: teams are somewhat set up for the future, like they know,
Speaker 1: like we have something at the quarterback position. And for
Speaker 1: him to sit here and say, I wouldn't do anything different,
Speaker 1: wouldn't commit to Eli. You don't have to go out
Speaker 1: and search for a quarterback. You can't force these kinds
Speaker 1: of things. And what are you doing? Greg? The thing
Speaker 1: is so he basically came out and said, listen, take
Speaker 1: on Barkley, the man football player, the person I would
Speaker 1: draft him a hundred percent of the time. I had
Speaker 1: a hundred chances, I would draft them all hundred times.
Speaker 1: You don't want to risk a quarterback, you don't want
Speaker 1: to do You do that and you get it wrong.
Speaker 1: You're doom the next ten years, Sam Donald, really wrong?
Speaker 1: Like do the Jets feel doomed for the next ten years?
Speaker 1: And I don't think so. I think they're building this
Speaker 1: thing in the ground up. As a Jets fan, having
Speaker 1: me the third overall pick again, you feel pretty good.
Speaker 1: You got your quarterback and now you have a hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars in caps, makes like you're feeling good, and
Speaker 1: that's why people are talking about the Jets head coaching
Speaker 1: vacancy as very popular. Yeah, I would say, honestly, the
Speaker 1: Browns are number one. You might put the Packers up
Speaker 1: there at number two because they have Aaron Rodgers obviously,
Speaker 1: and the number three it's probably the Jets, right just
Speaker 1: because you have a quarterback who has has shown some
Speaker 1: flashes here and given the limited offensive weapon around him
Speaker 1: for him to be able to do what he did
Speaker 1: and kind of flash towards the end of the season.
Speaker 1: You take that into next year with the fact that
Speaker 1: they have what the second or third most cash space
Speaker 1: in the NFL to spend. You give that to uh
Speaker 1: to a head coach and see what Mike mcaddan can do.
Speaker 1: And you have the third overall pick. You don't have
Speaker 1: a second round pick because you use that to trade
Speaker 1: up last year, but you have two third round picks.
Speaker 1: That's why people are talking about the Jets and the
Speaker 1: Browns vacancy as two of the top ones, because they
Speaker 1: already have that quarterback, so we think of the future. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and you know it's that's why the Browns top head
Speaker 1: coaching job, as you said, Jets top head coaching job,
Speaker 1: as you say, Packers have that coaching job, as you said,
Speaker 1: because the quarterbacks are in place, Denver not so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: trying to find the quarterback is the last piece, right,
Speaker 1: Like it's kind of a catch twenty two though, Gregg,
Speaker 1: because don't you don't you want to kind of have
Speaker 1: all the pieces in place. A lot easier quarterbacks there
Speaker 1: when the quarterback is there. But if you can find
Speaker 1: the quarterback, right like the Seattle Seahawks did with Russell Wilson, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so it's so much easier said than done. You
Speaker 1: can find a mid round guy, right like Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: the first couple of years looked like he was that
Speaker 1: mid round guy that they found. And you know, the
Speaker 1: jury is still kind of out on Dak Prescott. WI
Speaker 1: see what he does in the playoffs. But and then
Speaker 1: the playoffs two and the three years he's been the
Speaker 1: quarterback then yah, rookie contract. Right, that's what we like
Speaker 1: you've talked about that. A lot teams want that because
Speaker 1: once you have to pay that quarterback, it makes it
Speaker 1: hard to do everything else. We're seeing that now with
Speaker 1: like teams like the packers, who have you a Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers as much as they do. It will be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what they do many um the the week's
Speaker 1: seventeen outcomes, none of it was surprising. The only crazy
Speaker 1: thing is Baltimore almost blew this thing again, like they
Speaker 1: were blowing Cleveland out of the water in the first half.
Speaker 1: Cleveland comes back in it, and there was fourth and
Speaker 1: ten again, and you know, every Ravens fan had flashbacks
Speaker 1: to Andy Dalton a year ago. Unfortunately Baker Maybiella couldn't
Speaker 1: make it happen, but it was very, very exciting. It
Speaker 1: was good stuff. And how this weekend of playoffs, man like,
Speaker 1: all four games are good games, and we don't say
Speaker 1: that often. I know, like last year, even though Tennessee
Speaker 1: beat Casey in the first round of the playoffs last year,
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's like looking forward to that game.
Speaker 1: But I think all four games this weekend are good games.
Speaker 1: None of the spreads are more than the touchdowns, So
Speaker 1: it should be a pretty good weekend of football and
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. I already have my pool.
Speaker 1: We sign up for it. I can send it to
Speaker 1: you if you want. Frankie, I told you I would, um,
Speaker 1: it's hard. I'm trying to make my latup as we speak,
Speaker 1: and it's hard. It's hard. Yeah, sending that my way. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll throw it out there if any like
Speaker 1: listeners are viewers, definitely, I guess if you want to
Speaker 1: give more details about it. It's crazy the Houston Texans, right,
Speaker 1: it seems like every single playoff year in the wild
Speaker 1: Card Verse can't play that Saturday game then in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Well this year it's a little bit different, right, Like
Speaker 1: we're not getting ready watch t J. Yates or Tom
Speaker 1: Savage or anything crazy, right like that, Right, if Tennessee
Speaker 1: would have won, we got. We don't get ready for
Speaker 1: blading Gabbette and this game open, I believe with with
Speaker 1: the Texans lane two and a half and now it's
Speaker 1: down to one. So a lot of people are buying
Speaker 1: in on the Indianapolis Colts, and I think there's I
Speaker 1: think there's a pretty good reason why too. Like you
Speaker 1: look at what's the what's the weakness of the Texans defense? Right,
Speaker 1: it's their past defense, it's their secondary. Andrew Luck is
Speaker 1: gonna be able to light them up. One thing I
Speaker 1: will say about Andrew Luck, which I think is kind
Speaker 1: of like the X factor for this game. And we're
Speaker 1: gonna break down these games like throughout the week. Let
Speaker 1: me let me actually not be there before you do it,
Speaker 1: little scheduling type of notes like today we're gonna go
Speaker 1: over all the ladies and coaching and in the coaches, uh,
Speaker 1: and the changes and who we think ends up where
Speaker 1: and why anti Brown news to Antonio Brown News. We're
Speaker 1: absolutely gonna get into and break that down. Uh. I want,
Speaker 1: I want to do that. We're gonna do some some
Speaker 1: blind stats from this week. We have our our blindfolds.
Speaker 1: We uh, we were up to date with pop culture
Speaker 1: bird Box, Um, I am up to date with for once,
Speaker 1: I am up to date. I'm more up to date
Speaker 1: than Greg in pop culture. Yes you are. I can't
Speaker 1: believe you haven't watched bird Box yet. I haven't watched it.
Speaker 1: Forty seven million Netflix accounts and watched bird Box and
Speaker 1: that's just accounts. There's like ten people sharing each Netflix account.
Speaker 1: So I found out why. For most of the New Years,
Speaker 1: I watched Homecoming the entire season, first season, which is great,
Speaker 1: strong recommendation on that Homecoming during Julia Roberts and Sam
Speaker 1: It's awesome was it worth it to watch that over
Speaker 1: being up to date in pop culture. It's fair question,
Speaker 1: but I really wanted to watch it, so yes, I
Speaker 1: mean they were talking about bird Box. It's like last week,
Speaker 1: I know, and some at home Coming back in October though,
Speaker 1: so I felt bad I missed it, you know, but
Speaker 1: I have had time right, Like we're far behind because
Speaker 1: of football obviously, so much goes into like I didn't
Speaker 1: do anything throughout the football season besides like home lot
Speaker 1: watch fob watch like some highlights and stuff and the
Speaker 1: same before you know what, it's Thursday and there's a game,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like and the more jud much, the
Speaker 1: more juniors in the football. I couldn't even get her
Speaker 1: watch the TV. She's like, I want to football and
Speaker 1: I want to watch I'm just like I I got it.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. So like Monday, she wore the Susman
Speaker 1: household duty is the one who's making Greg watch football
Speaker 1: kind of true. Um Monday she was off, So I
Speaker 1: just like sat home. I watched the end of Escape
Speaker 1: a Jannamura, I started Homecoming, I watched some others like it.
Speaker 1: I caught up a lot of TV. Well. On December
Speaker 1: thirty one, and on January one, last two days, I've
Speaker 1: watched so much TV V I feel good, I mean
Speaker 1: honestly happy to come to work because I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here, I gotta start doing
Speaker 1: my job again. It was it was bad. Um, it
Speaker 1: was bad. I hammered. Were you on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 1: Hammered too? Because so we didn't have the I told
Speaker 1: you terribly yesterday I didn't get out of it. I
Speaker 1: think I didn't go to bed until like five am.
Speaker 1: So I went to bed early, and I think I
Speaker 1: woke up at like two. I woke up at nine,
Speaker 1: but I was like not in the shape to do anything.
Speaker 1: I just like was watching old wrestling clips and watch
Speaker 1: and then I shout out to me Geane absolutely um
Speaker 1: and then eleven am, I was like, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: back and I just watched TV all day. But it
Speaker 1: was so we went out for dinner at ten thirty,
Speaker 1: but we didn't want to We had a prefixed meal
Speaker 1: for like fifty bucks. Um, no alcohol included in that.
Speaker 1: So I had everyone over my apartment at like eight
Speaker 1: to like drink a lot. I don't think anybody drinking
Speaker 1: more than I did. So I was just like taking
Speaker 1: shots like three I P A S. No, no, I
Speaker 1: P s. It was seven. It was seven patron shots.
Speaker 1: Oh this guy. And then she's like he seemed drunk.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh good, I daking a lot of champagne
Speaker 1: too that I ordered whatever. So it was really really fun.
Speaker 1: We got back a like one thirty, cleaned up, went
Speaker 1: to bed, felt terrible. Yesterday I was a successful New
Speaker 1: Year's anyway, schedule wise, what is your favorite tequila? By
Speaker 1: the way, Trone, mine is Daileone. You ever have this?
Speaker 1: Told we have this conversation. You never had it though, right,
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It was expensive. Anybody out there who No,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's actually like I saw the bottle and
Speaker 1: it store. It's like thirty five bucks, like a standard
Speaker 1: sized bottle. Anyone out there you like tequila, get this
Speaker 1: daily one white tequila, beautiful, big d on the bottle,
Speaker 1: awesome of it, like it's sick love. Schedualing notes great,
Speaker 1: casually notes tomorrow Dr ray Um or Virginia will be
Speaker 1: with us in their normal time slot. Will go over
Speaker 1: all the injuries from four playoff weekend and anything else
Speaker 1: kind of lingering NBA stuff as well. Still doing BFF
Speaker 1: contest this week as well. Still doing also tomorrow we
Speaker 1: will I got that's what else to doing tomorrow, but
Speaker 1: I'll let you know tomorrow and then Friday preview. Honestly
Speaker 1: in depth all four games. I had some ideas, we
Speaker 1: wanted to go over, some awards, we had some resolutions
Speaker 1: that we wanted to do. I know, um, and then
Speaker 1: before you know, it will be baseball season. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of my notes. And a lot of people already
Speaker 1: tweeting trying to figure out, you know, when are we
Speaker 1: gonna start talking about baseball and stuff. So it's interesting
Speaker 1: and I'm already starting to like look into stuff. We
Speaker 1: did something out last night, drink. Matt Chapman had a
Speaker 1: hundred run scored last year. Matt Chapman, Did you realize
Speaker 1: that a hundred runs scored? I did. I don't think
Speaker 1: you realize I did? Man, it was crazy. All right, football,
Speaker 1: all right? Back to football before you know, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want interrupted talking about the Coulton Texas. I'm
Speaker 1: just That's basically what I was saying was the textans
Speaker 1: secondary is um their biggest weakness. I think obviously you
Speaker 1: know how good their pass for us is. But the
Speaker 1: Colts can somewhat mitigate that because their offensive line has
Speaker 1: been otherworldly this season. So I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good matchup at all of the trenches there, uh,
Speaker 1: the Texans defensive line against the Colts offensive line. But
Speaker 1: the way to attack the Texans is through the through
Speaker 1: the air, through the secondary. The one thing that I
Speaker 1: think can hold the the the Indianapolis Colts back is
Speaker 1: I'll turnover prone Andrew Luckos. We saw it right like
Speaker 1: that that Sunday night playing game, Like the little jump
Speaker 1: throw thing that he did that was disgusting and I
Speaker 1: don't even know who it was too, was throwing it
Speaker 1: to like the opposing team. It was very bad like that.
Speaker 1: We can't have That's that could be the one drawback
Speaker 1: to the Indianapolis Colts. But the way it's looking right now,
Speaker 1: the Texans opened this up lane two and a half
Speaker 1: down to one. Same thing with the Cowboys and the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Dallas opened up lane two and a half now down
Speaker 1: to one as well. Early prediction. Man, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: in on the Colts. Everybody's in the everybody's in on
Speaker 1: the everybody. Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna have predition yet. Um, but everybody's in on the Holts.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the coaching change before we hit the break.
Speaker 1: I want to do that one in Antonio Brown as well. Now,
Speaker 1: coaching change wise, I'll started your team, Frankie with the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Now, the Jets one of the more
Speaker 1: attractive openings. We think. You've heard their name, you've heard
Speaker 1: them A linked to Mike McCarthy, you've heard them linked
Speaker 1: to UM, Eric biennin me, you heard them Todd Monkey,
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. UM, that covers it right, I'm missing anybody
Speaker 1: in Minish. Meta just tweeted out I don't sleep when
Speaker 1: Matt rule as well college coach Matt Rule at Baylor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about Matt Rule, but offensive line
Speaker 1: coach with the Giants, I believe interesting. UM. Rural World
Speaker 1: actually has uh this their daily dose up where they
Speaker 1: kind of have have it laid out with each team
Speaker 1: and who they have scheduled to meet with. Alertie. So
Speaker 1: as of right now, the Jets are scheduled to meet
Speaker 1: with Chiefs O C. Eric Bienimi Box O C. Todd Monken,
Speaker 1: Cowboys defensive assistant Chris Richard very interesting name out there
Speaker 1: right now who's getting a lot of a lot of buzz.
Speaker 1: We didn't go with another another defensive guy, I don't want.
Speaker 1: I mean there I've seen people on Twitter kind of
Speaker 1: clamoring for him already and like you can't dispute anything
Speaker 1: that he's done in terms of like with secondaries. So
Speaker 1: I think just like from a personnel perspective, him working
Speaker 1: with Jamal Adams would be awesome, and like kind of
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to rejuvenate Tremaine Johnson because Tremaine Johnson,
Speaker 1: the second highest paid cornerback in the NFL, was just
Speaker 1: not nearly as good as he needed to be this year.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he would tell you that himself as well.
Speaker 1: The work that Chris Richard has done with secondaries. Just
Speaker 1: look at the Cowboys for example. This is the guy
Speaker 1: who with with the with the Seahawks throughout the Legion
Speaker 1: of Boom. I mean, he was part of the guy
Speaker 1: who made them. Obviously, like Richard Sherman is awesome, we
Speaker 1: know that, but he was part of the reason that
Speaker 1: they were as good as they were. And there's no
Speaker 1: denying what the Cowboys just did this year with Byron
Speaker 1: Jones and shadowbi A Woozier. They've been amazing in the secondary.
Speaker 1: So yeah, shout out to uh, shout out to Chris Richard.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna get a lot of buzz um.
Speaker 1: But they're also linked to like Jim Caldwell, Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Cliff kings Kingsbury is something that uh you
Speaker 1: tris you. I really do think that they're going to
Speaker 1: go some kind of offensive route. It wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: if they try to do like the Kingsbury thing. He's
Speaker 1: like the hot college name right now from like Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: He's the o C I know, but he he was
Speaker 1: with Texas tex He also coached Patrick Mahomes, so like
Speaker 1: he you know, he runs the whole spread offense thing,
Speaker 1: and everyone's trying to find the next coach who can
Speaker 1: incorporate like r p O s. I know Todd Monkin
Speaker 1: does a lot with r p os and you know,
Speaker 1: I heard Gabe and Corey kind of like bashing Todd Moncat.
Speaker 1: I don't really know much of his background, so I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here. You know, I looked into him
Speaker 1: as like a college head coach. He was not good
Speaker 1: as a head coach in college, but you can't argue
Speaker 1: with what he just did with the Tampa With Tampa
Speaker 1: based offense, their offense was not the problem. The defense
Speaker 1: was abysmal. But if you look at their offense, third
Speaker 1: in yards per game, third in yards per play, wealth
Speaker 1: and scoring, Ryan Fitzpatrick led the NFL, you know, small
Speaker 1: sample sizes. He didn't start every single game. He led
Speaker 1: the NFL in yards per attempt. And Ryan Fitzpatrick is
Speaker 1: just gushing about the guy in terms of his creativity
Speaker 1: and what he could do and these concepts and r
Speaker 1: p o s and stuff. So again, I don't know
Speaker 1: much about him as like a head coach at the
Speaker 1: college level. But what I've seen the results this here
Speaker 1: from the Bucks offense. Godmancin did a good job with them.
Speaker 1: So that's that's just all speak to you, Tom Monk. Now,
Speaker 1: Eric Piannini is the hottest coach of course on the
Speaker 1: this cyclic thing. He's kind of on the fence for
Speaker 1: me because he he has like a running back he's
Speaker 1: like a running back coach background, and he did great
Speaker 1: work with Kareem Hunt, but he's never called plays before.
Speaker 1: And I know the Andy Reid coaching tree has done
Speaker 1: wonders for other teams. Matt Naggie does Peterson. But again,
Speaker 1: this is a guy who has never called his own place.
Speaker 1: If he does become a head coach, I think calls
Speaker 1: on places, does he also hire an oc Never? Really? Uh,
Speaker 1: I've read a really cool tweet over the weekend about
Speaker 1: why head coaches should call their own place. Actually, let's
Speaker 1: talk about that and where beginning is not headed. We'll
Speaker 1: do that next. Daily Rhodo dot Com Learn from the

Speaker 1: you mean that means you're gonna help me more? Is
Speaker 1: that your resolution? Like you're gonna help her in the
Speaker 1: house more. I'm like, no, my resolution is that you're
Speaker 1: gonna stop yelling at me. That was great? Did you
Speaker 1: take She like smiled laughed about it. She's like, you're stupid,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing That's good. Like my resolution was kind
Speaker 1: of similar where I was gonna say I was gonna
Speaker 1: have more patience around the house, like and not let
Speaker 1: little things like I didn't realize. I think I don't
Speaker 1: want to call it O C D. But like a
Speaker 1: little more O C D than I realized when when
Speaker 1: I first realized that with Judy right, like sour shower,
Speaker 1: we have like a little I guess I don't think
Speaker 1: having it. It puts a little thing in the shower
Speaker 1: where you put like your shampoo is open. What up
Speaker 1: shelf is what I was looking for with a little shelf, right,
Speaker 1: And the shelf is like only this big or so,
Speaker 1: so we can fit only a certain amount of things.
Speaker 1: If it doesn't fit, I just put it like the
Speaker 1: side of the shower along the wall, when you just
Speaker 1: put it down. Whatever we deal. But Judy, he consistently
Speaker 1: he just tries to squish it in there, so it's
Speaker 1: like hanging off the sides and it's like not properly placed.
Speaker 1: And then she puts things like the shampoo like upside down,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, why is it upside down? I
Speaker 1: understand the shampoo upside down thing because when it's starting
Speaker 1: to run out you wanted to do different stories. Fine,
Speaker 1: but not when you first buy it, and definitely not
Speaker 1: when you first buy it, right, you gotta wait until
Speaker 1: it's you're halfway yeah, like a quarter, I would say, fine,
Speaker 1: no issue, same with the upside down over the new
Speaker 1: toothpaste immediately the next morning upside down brand new. So
Speaker 1: my O C D self has to turn it back,
Speaker 1: has to make sure everything's like right side off. And
Speaker 1: I never realized it's about myself, and I would get
Speaker 1: really angry and frustrating. She's like, it's just not that
Speaker 1: big of a deal, and you know what, You're right,
Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal. Patient Craig, New Year,
Speaker 1: New Greg. I don't want to say that go that far,
Speaker 1: but like more patients with like things that don't matter,
Speaker 1: that's all New Year's resolution. We're gonna get Greg into
Speaker 1: backstage wrestling reporter shape. I don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: but that means google what micro roome looks like, and
Speaker 1: you'll say, Mike Rome. If you guys to wage your

Speaker 1: That would be the first step of you to backstage
Speaker 1: w w E reporter shape. So hopefully we can make
Speaker 1: that hat. It seems unlikely, all right. Before we hit
Speaker 1: the break, we were talking about Cement the head coaches.
Speaker 1: Frank and you had an interesting stat you wanted to read.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a stat, It was a tweet from someone.
Speaker 1: It might have been like Nick Menzio of Rural World,
Speaker 1: And I've never really thought about it. It's it's actually
Speaker 1: really pretty normal, like anyone could have figured it out,
Speaker 1: like it's it's not like rocket science. But having a
Speaker 1: head coach who calls his own plays creates continuity from
Speaker 1: year in and year out because everyone's stealing. So like
Speaker 1: you have a great offense and you have an offensive
Speaker 1: and they and they steal him away. Next year, you
Speaker 1: have a new offensive coordinator, and yes, it's still like
Speaker 1: your system, but if you're not calling the plays, then
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a new voice inside of the the
Speaker 1: helmet of your quarterback or whatever. So basically, it's like,
Speaker 1: if you have a head coach who calls his own plays,
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about him getting poached year
Speaker 1: and a year out and like replacing a new offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: So it's a very basic concept, but I don't know
Speaker 1: that enough organizations think about it like that, Like I'm
Speaker 1: sure like they're very into like we need to find
Speaker 1: a perfect candidate, like we're not gonna worry about this
Speaker 1: and that. But it actually kind of makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. Totally makes a lot of sense. Now, there
Speaker 1: are some obviously downsides to that um number one, like
Speaker 1: Adam Gaye got for this, while Sean McVeigh gets lauded
Speaker 1: for it. Obviously with the team's on defense, he's on
Speaker 1: the bench going over plays, talking to the quarterback, not
Speaker 1: paying attention to what's what's going on. Right, That's what
Speaker 1: Gates got crushed for it. McVeigh has got beloved for it.
Speaker 1: So you need the right defensive coordinator though, because McVeigh
Speaker 1: has waited Philip who has so much head coach, without question,
Speaker 1: without question, you gotta put your staff together. Rex Ryan's
Speaker 1: another one, right. He called all the plays on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball and the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. His channel was not even turned to the
Speaker 1: offense right like, and that was too or for the
Speaker 1: on the offense too. And it gets like Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: and Gino Smithy, They're terrible. They were awful, and you
Speaker 1: didn't have a head coach set and what to do
Speaker 1: with him because he was a defensive guy. And that's
Speaker 1: obviously why we all lean towards offensive playmakers or offensive
Speaker 1: coaches right now. Um, and everybody wants the next Sean McVeigh,
Speaker 1: and everybody wants the next Matt Neggie. And I think
Speaker 1: that's where you see a lot of the top candidates.
Speaker 1: We mentioned Eric Bianini, who are He said, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna interview with the Jets and gonna interview with the Packers'
Speaker 1: gonna interview with the Browns. Yeah, I'm good on Arizona.
Speaker 1: That's what he said. I get which is interesting, right,
Speaker 1: because he has a running back coach background, and of
Speaker 1: all the teams, they probably have the best running back,
Speaker 1: don't they and David Johnson. So I find it interesting
Speaker 1: because quarterback I can tell you running backs don't matter
Speaker 1: to win quarterbacks and he doesn't believe in Josh person
Speaker 1: That's what it really says. Yeah, I mean I still
Speaker 1: think that the Again, like the evaluation someone said in
Speaker 1: the chat, the evaluation process for quarterbacks last three to
Speaker 1: five years at least. I mean it could it could
Speaker 1: go further than that. Like sometimes you have to wait
Speaker 1: until the end of the career to to realize, like
Speaker 1: was that pick. Was it worth trading up and mortgaging
Speaker 1: draft picks in order to get this quarterback? Was it
Speaker 1: worth it in the end, So that it takes a
Speaker 1: long time to evaluate these things. You know, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna just completely bury Josh Rosen after
Speaker 1: one season where he changed his offensive coordinator. He had
Speaker 1: Michael mc boy, who's the most vanilla offensive coordinator of
Speaker 1: all time, and then he had Byron Leftwich, who was
Speaker 1: calling place for the first time in his career. The
Speaker 1: offensive line was one of the worst in NFL history.
Speaker 1: There are stats that back that up that it was
Speaker 1: actually that bad. They're running David Johnson into the back
Speaker 1: of the their offensive line over and over again when
Speaker 1: he's clearly not that type of player. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: hold it against shoshows and he you know, he has
Speaker 1: some weapons and Christian Kirk for the future. We'll see
Speaker 1: if Larry Fitzgerald comes back. I still do think that
Speaker 1: they need to add like one more wide receiver. But
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and David Johnson very nice starting point for
Speaker 1: the offense for whoever comes in. So all right, beanimy
Speaker 1: doesn't want to come here. I still don't think it's
Speaker 1: like the worst situation of all time. They still do
Speaker 1: have a quarterback too. Other hot offensive coordinator names young
Speaker 1: guys in the NFL. I'm not talking about Cliff Kingsbury
Speaker 1: um or not rule or Matt Campbell from college UM.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna mention Zach Taylor, who we saw this
Speaker 1: coming right quarterbacks coach with the Rams, uh the facto
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator if you will, with Matt lafleur um in
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Sean McVeigh really doing his say. Mat lefore
Speaker 1: is the other name I want to mention, but Zach
Speaker 1: Tayler obviously getting a ton of love right now in
Speaker 1: coaching circles, and it's a surprise because he is young.
Speaker 1: On pedigree is really good work with Belichick and work
Speaker 1: with mcveigh's. It's a good combination, but not much experience
Speaker 1: calling plays there either. Yeah, this is an interesting one.
Speaker 1: And for him to be getting head coaching buzz, right,
Speaker 1: this is just someone you're trying to to pluck every
Speaker 1: last piece of that Sean McVeigh offense that you possibly can.
Speaker 1: We saw Matt Lafleur this year with the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: and I killed Lafleur a couple of weeks ago. Greg,
Speaker 1: and you told me, you sat there and you said,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be head coaching um interest in Matt Lafleur.
Speaker 1: And I was right, And to this point there has
Speaker 1: been actually so that was that was the correct call
Speaker 1: by you? I don't I still don't know that objectively speaking,
Speaker 1: is that the right thing? Because I think the Titans
Speaker 1: offense was not good this year. It took them this
Speaker 1: long to figure out to use Derrick Henry. We didn't
Speaker 1: see much improvement from the quarterback position. I know Mariota
Speaker 1: has been hanged up, but didn't really get a lot
Speaker 1: of the Corey Davis like the offenses wasn't good. So
Speaker 1: I don't really I don't really understand the hype behind
Speaker 1: Matt Laflour, but yeah, worth mentioning Zach Taylor another another
Speaker 1: name that's being thrown out there. He has a few
Speaker 1: people that are already uh interview him. Arizona is one
Speaker 1: of them. Cincinnati is one of them. I could see
Speaker 1: it like a team like Cincinnati taking that shot, assuming
Speaker 1: they don't give it to Hugh Jackson or bands Joseph
Speaker 1: who they're the favorites are are friends of Marvin Lewis,
Speaker 1: are very bad coachious this franchise. Apparently they're big on continuity.
Speaker 1: So like anyone who's worked with Marvin Lewis, like, as
Speaker 1: the upper hand here, you've done nothing under Marvin Lewis.
Speaker 1: Why would you want a bunch of people who have
Speaker 1: worked under Marvin Lewis? You've done nothing with him. You
Speaker 1: made the playoffs a bunch of years. Did they ever
Speaker 1: make it out of the first round? Now, Marts never
Speaker 1: want tof you never want a playoff game. So you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, you know the the players, the personnel of
Speaker 1: the staff. They might know assistant who have worked under
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis. So let's bring those guys in so we
Speaker 1: have some kind of continuity. Maybe you don't need continuity
Speaker 1: in the bank those organization. Maybe you need to reset
Speaker 1: everything because it hasn't been working for a really long time.
Speaker 1: So Zach Taylor interview there as well. And then the
Speaker 1: other team is the Denver Broncos. So three teams that
Speaker 1: he's lined up. It's gonna be crazy when this team
Speaker 1: hires huge acton like, oh, one win in two years,
Speaker 1: Like I don't yet it, man. And what's crazy is
Speaker 1: when he was fired Greg, I told you, well, we
Speaker 1: all knew it. I was like, dude, he's gonna the
Speaker 1: NFL is like a revolving door. Miaem McCoy is gonna
Speaker 1: be somewhere calling plays next year. It's crazy. Adam Adam,
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze not as much love as we thought he
Speaker 1: would leave in Miami, you thought quickly, has not happened yet.
Speaker 1: I woke up when was it either New Year's Eve
Speaker 1: or New Year's Day? And they're talking about Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: as as a why you'd be a perfect fit with
Speaker 1: the New York Jets and big media outlets talking about
Speaker 1: this Greg like Ian Rabbitport talking about the quarterback whisperer. No,
Speaker 1: you know, you want to know who a quarterback whisper is?
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanhan's a quarterback whisper. Who could say
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Who could take Nick Mullins, who you know
Speaker 1: doesn't even have the check mark next to his name
Speaker 1: on Twitter and turn him into an NFL worthy quarterback
Speaker 1: at least? No. Now, now Nick Mullins being talked about
Speaker 1: a name that people could trade for Greg a trade candidate.
Speaker 1: You want Nick Mullins as your starting quarterback next to
Speaker 1: year Greg? It's not outside the remo possibility. Why because
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is a quarterback whisper. Adam GATEE, I know
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has been hurt. What does Ryan Tannehill do? Like,
Speaker 1: come on, dude, Adam, Yeah, Adam Gates would work well
Speaker 1: with Sam Donald's He's gonna he's gonna get the most
Speaker 1: out of him. Yeah. He really had the most out
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins offense and they're passing attack. They
Speaker 1: were in the fewest plays in the NFL. This year
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't even give their best player of the
Speaker 1: ball and Kenyan Drake. We'll get me start with Adam
Speaker 1: Gaze Man. That guy. I mean, he's got to like
Speaker 1: reset somewhere, Go somewhere, boc being assistant, go to college,
Speaker 1: do something. If he goes straight from the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: head coach to another head coaching job, Greg, I will
Speaker 1: lose my mind. Same Evan's Joseph Man, It does it
Speaker 1: make sense? Like what are we missing this? We always
Speaker 1: talking about when it comes to like why are things
Speaker 1: so easy for us to see? But like for NFL executives,
Speaker 1: they overthink things so much. Greg, Yeah, we see players
Speaker 1: who are clearly popping off the screen. But oh, let's
Speaker 1: keep bringing back to Sean Jackson and starting him over
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin when Chris Godwin is clearly an NFL competent receiver.
Speaker 1: We see it over over again. Why is Kenyan Drake
Speaker 1: not being used more? The only thing I can think
Speaker 1: of is they're trying to keep him healthy. They're thinking
Speaker 1: he can't handle a workload or else he's gonna get hurt.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that I could think of. What
Speaker 1: if a player or a coach is popping off the
Speaker 1: screen and doing things correctly. Why does it take front
Speaker 1: offices in NFL so long to figure it out? Now, again,
Speaker 1: you don't know the inner working is necessarily what's going on. Um.
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Um, but
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's get to play this player
Speaker 1: because he's getting paid a certain amount of things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy was a first round pick, second round pick.
Speaker 1: We have to play him. Stuff like that. There were
Speaker 1: a couple of defensive there were a couple of defensive coordinators.
Speaker 1: Um that showing some love. Frank mentioned Chris Richard earlier.
Speaker 1: He's done a really nice job in Dallas, coming over
Speaker 1: from Seattle where you got surprisingly fired. Um, he's done
Speaker 1: a nice job. Comes from that tree. I know we
Speaker 1: haven't exactly had a ton of luck there as Gus
Speaker 1: Bradley was terrible. Dan quinn I did make into the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Um, but struggled. But Chris Richard a hot name.
Speaker 1: He's interviewed with a couple of teams on Sunday after Dallas'
Speaker 1: first playoff game. Um, and you want to note that
Speaker 1: Atlanta fired both of their coordinators, Marcus Manuel and finally
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkesian. But of course who did the interview Dirk Cutter.
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of in on that. Craig. Really he
Speaker 1: was terrible as his own officsive coordinator. From from a
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, right, we talked about with Matt Ryan is
Speaker 1: how he struggles under new y coordinators. He already has
Speaker 1: that familiarity with Dirk Cutter. And yes he's under Kyle
Speaker 1: san And and under Steve Sarkasian. Matt Ryan struggled in
Speaker 1: the first season. If you look at his first season
Speaker 1: with Dirk Cutter, he threw for thirty two touchdowns. So
Speaker 1: that was the first year offensive core nator where he
Speaker 1: actually did perform well Matt Ryan. So I think for
Speaker 1: the Falcons offense, and I know Dirk Cutter has taken
Speaker 1: a lot of heat. He was brutal as head coach
Speaker 1: of the Tampa Bay Bucks. But if you're looking for
Speaker 1: a continuity, that familiarity that the Falcons offense already knows
Speaker 1: so that we don't have to suffer from a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 1: I actually think Dirk Cutter going back to Landa makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Fair enough, fair enough, um Ryan
Speaker 1: Flora is the name being being thrown Josh McDaniels again,
Speaker 1: Josh mc daniels with the you know where I think,
Speaker 1: and we've been kind of pooh pooing the defensive coordinator, like,
Speaker 1: how can you have a defensive minded head coach in
Speaker 1: this day and age. I think there's one place where
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense, Craig green Bay. And
Speaker 1: because because Aaron Rodgers, what do you need out of
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator? Aaron Rodgers is your offensive coordinator? Those Seriously,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because I think a guy like
Speaker 1: Chris Richard, and I know he's not even like slated
Speaker 1: to meet with the Packers as of right now. What
Speaker 1: has been the biggest weakness why? Like, all right, Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: Everyone pooples him for being vanilla Playcoller or whatever, so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. Aaron Rodgers, But their defense. Look
Speaker 1: at their defense throughout Aaron Rodgers career, it hasn't been good.
Speaker 1: It's never been good. Aaron Rodgers is one of the
Speaker 1: top five best quarterbacks of all time, top ten maybe whatever,
Speaker 1: you should have won more with him. I understand that.
Speaker 1: So that's why Mike McCarthy was fired. Ultimately, what the
Speaker 1: defense has always been bad, specifically the secondary. Every single
Speaker 1: year we're talking about pickup this wide receiver, playing him
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Pack. Their secondary is terrible every
Speaker 1: single year. I think a defensive mind to head coach
Speaker 1: would actually make sense. I think you need someone that
Speaker 1: he's gonna coach of the offense and need more creative
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. That's why I think you have somebody.
Speaker 1: It's young. I knows what they're doing on the offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Of course, Mike McCarthy, he'll another
Speaker 1: retraid that will get a head coaching job somewhere or
Speaker 1: the Brown For Baker's sake, we're taking a break. We'll
Speaker 1: be back hit a minute. If you're someone that needs

Speaker 1: this weekend stuff as we get closer to the games
Speaker 1: obviously Wednesday, we have Thursday and Friday to go before
Speaker 1: this weekend. We'll break it down as we're practice. News
Speaker 1: comes out and we kind of dive in a little
Speaker 1: bit more. Dr A and Virginia will be with us tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But the big story coming out of this week, outside
Speaker 1: of the head coaches and outside of the season ending
Speaker 1: press conferences with a guy like Dave Gentleman, is what's
Speaker 1: going on? Just getting killed by Fantasy Twitter destroyed? It's okay, UM,
Speaker 1: gettlement on Eli Manning. He can still make NFL throws.
Speaker 1: He's still got it, Adam Leavittan, We'll tweeted it. Eli
Speaker 1: Manning was PFS number twenty six QB among thirty qualifiers
Speaker 1: this season. Still got it? Greg? Problem? Is this no
Speaker 1: better option anyway? Um? You mean Nick Mullins over Eline? Sorry, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm I don't want to do that, Lady Bridgewater trade
Speaker 1: for matt Staffords, hey Bride or in the Manning can
Speaker 1: you can you cut Eli Manning? Or does he have
Speaker 1: like you cut him and save money or do you
Speaker 1: have to like money but you have the dead money,
Speaker 1: but you would save a lot of money by cuttinghim. Well,
Speaker 1: if you have that money, at least look into the
Speaker 1: possibility of trading for Matthew Stafford. I would honestly do that.
Speaker 1: I don't think they do that. I think what is possible, though,
Speaker 1: I really do believe the Oakland winds up cutting Derek Carr.
Speaker 1: I think that becomes an option. I do. Do you
Speaker 1: think so? Because Mike Mayock came out over the weekend
Speaker 1: obviously new Raiders Jim and said that he had a
Speaker 1: first round draft grade on Derek Carr. So I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they will kind of, they're kind of.
Speaker 1: I don't want them to cut him because I want
Speaker 1: Haskins to be there at six, so you know, I
Speaker 1: feel good. Then they're locked into six the Giants. Giants
Speaker 1: are at six, Oakland's at four. At three. You want
Speaker 1: to trade up, baby, so they need to because Oaklands
Speaker 1: at four they're keeping Derek car they're not gonna get
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You have to worry about someone jumping in.
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand. And then I don't know how
Speaker 1: much hype throw will be about Twayne Haskins. And then
Speaker 1: Tampa's at five. He seems to be like the only
Speaker 1: real first round talent quarterbacks, like everyone else was going
Speaker 1: to go in the first round. It's like those classic
Speaker 1: Da Cabbage Jake Lockers of the world, guys like Drew
Speaker 1: lock Who's who's you know being mocked in the first
Speaker 1: round right now? The duke quarterback. Everything that I've heard
Speaker 1: is like, these guys are not first round word of
Speaker 1: the quarterback happens. He's a first round worth of the quarterback.
Speaker 1: Is he like a top ten like slam Dunk? Probably not,
Speaker 1: But I've seen people have first round grades for Dwyane Haskins.
Speaker 1: Feel better. The only team I can see them jumping
Speaker 1: the Giants really as the Jaguars. We've been right before
Speaker 1: the jump right after the Giants because they need a
Speaker 1: quarterback also, So hopefully they don't do that. I hope,
Speaker 1: we hope, we hope. All right, But the big story,
Speaker 1: of course, is what's going on in Pittsburgh and with
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. He had a knee injury this past week,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't really a knee injury. You gotta an
Speaker 1: argument with Ben Roethlisberger, something about like a hot route.
Speaker 1: Um that he got pulled four and he got ticked
Speaker 1: off and slammed his helmet and walked off. Didn't show
Speaker 1: up the practice Thursday Friday, Um, didn't show up the
Speaker 1: walkthrough on Saturday, showed up to the game on Sunday
Speaker 1: and said all right, I'm here and they said, well
Speaker 1: you're you're not playing. Of course, every Beat reporter had
Speaker 1: this story. Jesus lack Canni Forward came out and said
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown requested a trade. That was kind of debunked
Speaker 1: very quickly with all the other reporters around the situation,
Speaker 1: saying three different reports basically saying, hey, he didn't demand
Speaker 1: a trade or even requested. He just said, if you're
Speaker 1: not gonna use me, trade me. And that was the
Speaker 1: quote unquote request that wasn't really a request. Uh. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: in his radio appearance, Fed Roethlisberger downplayed the incident and
Speaker 1: saying listen, he had an argument all the time. Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown still want my best friends in the world. This
Speaker 1: wasn't a big deal, got overblown. Mike Tomlin just came
Speaker 1: out big enough deal to get benched. Mike Tomlin just
Speaker 1: came out in his in his season ending press conference
Speaker 1: and said, it was my bad for not communicating to
Speaker 1: the A B. You know, it wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 1: I got overblown. I understand what Mike Tomlin and what
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger are trying to do and trying to downplay
Speaker 1: the incident as something that it wasn't. It is a
Speaker 1: big deal. They mentioned him in the game to potentially
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. They benched their best player and they
Speaker 1: barely won that game. That's a big, big, big deal.
Speaker 1: And if I by doing this what you're doing, he's
Speaker 1: saying what Antonio Brown did was okay, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's been a baby all year,
Speaker 1: that's throwing tantrums, that's had fake injuries, that's been arrested
Speaker 1: days before games like this. Is these are issues, and
Speaker 1: again they've downplayed them. They've continued to enable Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: I'm not making this about the Giants, has has something
Speaker 1: to do with them. But Odell Beckam gets a lot
Speaker 1: of crap, and rightfully so. He deserves it, but his
Speaker 1: teammates love him, and it's clear his teammates do not
Speaker 1: love Antonio Brown. I think it's a major issue. It's
Speaker 1: brewing in Pittsburgh, and I thought the reason they didn't
Speaker 1: make the playoffs obviously, but it's not a good look. Frank,
Speaker 1: you really believe that the Steelers teammates don't like Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: I think them voting jujuice shoos to the team. Mv
Speaker 1: pss a lot about Antonio Brown, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: and I think that's something that he can kind of
Speaker 1: hold onto it and use as like I want to
Speaker 1: be treated like you don't value me the way that
Speaker 1: like I've value me. It's me, me Me. It's a
Speaker 1: big like. You know, I look forward to the days
Speaker 1: where the best wide receiver in the league isn't a diva,
Speaker 1: Like if we could just crown DeAndre Hopkins the best
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the league unless he does things that
Speaker 1: I don't know about besides wearing like really stupid shirts
Speaker 1: when he shows up to the game. Uh, DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: to me, has been a great sport. I don't you know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hear a lot about Deander Hopkins
Speaker 1: being a diva whatever, Like he plays through injury. He's
Speaker 1: awesome pound for pound, might be the best wide receiver
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But you know, dating back to the
Speaker 1: days of you know, Randy Moss and Torello and it's
Speaker 1: like you just go through the cycle of diva wide receivers.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with Antonio browne. I was
Speaker 1: gonna throw this back at you, Greg and asked, like,
Speaker 1: what kind of compensation do you think would be required
Speaker 1: to trade for Antonio Brown? Because I brought this up
Speaker 1: to you. You know, we're talking a lot about the
Speaker 1: Jets and Giants, other teams. Can any team can use
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown? Like we can scroll through and I have
Speaker 1: I say this Jets, Twitter obviously, oh my god, oh
Speaker 1: my god, let's trade for Antonio Brown. Let's let's be
Speaker 1: the Steeler from three years ago. Whatever, Sam Donald, it
Speaker 1: would be great, But it's also going to take a
Speaker 1: lot of compensation to get a guy like Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: away from the Pittsburgh Steelers. You will never get proper
Speaker 1: value teams that come to like the San Francisco forty Niners.
Speaker 1: I know they were talking about in the Morning show.
Speaker 1: I think someone tweeted out a picture of like Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown wearing a forty Niner jersey. That's a name that
Speaker 1: I think would make a lot of sentia trade him
Speaker 1: to the NFC West. You're like, almost never see him
Speaker 1: playing against the Steelers, So I think that would make
Speaker 1: a lot of sense to Jets. Even like the Bills
Speaker 1: came to mind, because obviously, again, any team can use
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. The likelihood that he gets traded probably not
Speaker 1: that Like, what do you think it would take? What
Speaker 1: kind of trade capital? I don't know, man. I think
Speaker 1: the last time we've seen a position player this good
Speaker 1: a skill position skill, I mean, Clil Mac Khalil Mack
Speaker 1: was like, what did they get for Khalil Mack in
Speaker 1: the first first round picks? That's what Antonio browns in
Speaker 1: the cost so and different. Pass rusher is different than
Speaker 1: wide receiver, That's no, I agree with you. I think
Speaker 1: universally around the league, the best pass rusher is valued
Speaker 1: much higher than the best wide Golden Tate was traded
Speaker 1: for a third rounder, right, Yeah, and he's kind of
Speaker 1: like middle link compared to Antonio Brown. I think it
Speaker 1: would probably take at least one first round pick plus
Speaker 1: at least one first round pick. It might happen for
Speaker 1: just one first round pick. Seriously, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think it's more Jets aren't given up the third
Speaker 1: roll pick. They're not right now, And I'm kind of
Speaker 1: in on that Josh Allen Josh Allen draft pick after
Speaker 1: I know I wasn't watching the game, but I believe
Speaker 1: you have like three sacks and he's good a final
Speaker 1: Bowl game, he's goodlos. Basically, there's a top two and
Speaker 1: Nick Boson and Quinnin Williams from from my research, and
Speaker 1: then third could be anyone from Josh Allen to at
Speaker 1: Oliver or the two popular names I've heard at three
Speaker 1: at Allen flan Farrell as well as like a pass
Speaker 1: rusher from Clemson. I haven't heard about that, but Jonah
Speaker 1: Williams is like the top off. I wouldn't mind if
Speaker 1: the Jets took him either. That's and they're not gonna
Speaker 1: take Dwayne Haskins. Let the Giants take this guy for sure.
Speaker 1: Probably won't because there idiots. Yeah, it's like they they
Speaker 1: don't need any more skill posistion players, but maybe they
Speaker 1: can find a way greg like they've used their past
Speaker 1: first round picks on like Odell Beckham, Evan Ingram and
Speaker 1: take Kwon Barkley really need any football just updated their
Speaker 1: their new mom maybe they can. They have the Jets
Speaker 1: taking They have the Jets taking Josh Allen at third
Speaker 1: as a kind of predicted. And what I really liked
Speaker 1: to is after the game he does just oozing with confidence.
Speaker 1: He's like, if I'm not the number one overall pick,
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is and that's awesome, Like
Speaker 1: and it's different than you know, someone like Nick Bosa
Speaker 1: who he hasn't played right, he hasn't played it for
Speaker 1: a while, and he get hurt and then and and
Speaker 1: that's a big back and forth, you know, like ethics
Speaker 1: and whether you want to be there for your teammates
Speaker 1: versus you want to make your money if you're gonna
Speaker 1: be the first role pick. Like I don't want to
Speaker 1: get into that, right, I agree, Um, what do you
Speaker 1: think the w Pittberg is handling all of it? I
Speaker 1: do agree with you that it's definitely a bigger deal
Speaker 1: than they're leading on. For Mike Tom going to come
Speaker 1: out and basically say like, oh you know, I you know,
Speaker 1: I mishandled the situation like it kind of seems like
Speaker 1: they're downplaying everything you spoke about Big Band. He's like,
Speaker 1: we still have a great relationship you have. Why didn't
Speaker 1: he play? Then? That's what if everyone's downplaying it, like
Speaker 1: why didn't he play? And I understand, Like you want
Speaker 1: to hold people accountable, that's fine, but then don't downplay it.
Speaker 1: Be like no, like, stick by your decision. We benched
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. We're sticking by your decision. Whatever he did,
Speaker 1: he like threw a quarter I threw a football at
Speaker 1: Big Ben in practice something like that. That's what I
Speaker 1: all reported, Like, all right, well he violated the team rules,
Speaker 1: we're benching him. Stick by yourself, I mean, don't downplay
Speaker 1: it now. And they tried to blame it on an
Speaker 1: injury too, which like makes it even worse. And they're
Speaker 1: gonna get a call from the NFL because he can't
Speaker 1: do that. That's not all that happens all the time, though,
Speaker 1: They make a phantom injury so that, oh we make
Speaker 1: this guy an act of course. Ever, Yeah, Geno Smith,
Speaker 1: nurturing quarterback, dealing with a back injury, whatever inactive happens
Speaker 1: all time. M hm, okay, all right, Frank, we got
Speaker 1: a minute or so left on YouTube. We wanted to
Speaker 1: do Um, we wanted to do this that game today,
Speaker 1: bird Box or bird Box. Indeed, do you want I
Speaker 1: don't want to rush it. No, I don't rush it.
Speaker 1: We'll do it tomorrow's time. Are you sure all right?
Speaker 1: Because we had a fun idea. We're doing blindfolds the
Speaker 1: biggest thing right now everywhere, Like everyone's tweeting out me
Speaker 1: bird box and basically I tweeted yesterday drink. The part
Speaker 1: of the movie is basically what happens when you draft
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. Great, draft Sammy Watkins and just close your
Speaker 1: eyes and hope for the best. When you open them,
Speaker 1: is he gonnas because he's not on your team anymore? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just I couldn't see it was banging the microphone. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really interesting. I thought about this too, right, Like,
Speaker 1: if we're blindfolded, they're they're good blinds. We're gonna forget
Speaker 1: where the where the microphone? You can't see right, talking right,
Speaker 1: you can't see anything right, that's good. We're easy. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: has about Sammy Watkins. You're gonna play. Yeah, Sammy Watkins
Speaker 1: is one of those players who there's a there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of these players too, right where I've always wanted
Speaker 1: to share because I've never had them. I feel like
Speaker 1: other people might be able to relate. Especially for fantasy.
Speaker 1: You always want to share of a player because they're
Speaker 1: like a big name. You know how talented they are,
Speaker 1: you know what their upside can be. But they let
Speaker 1: people down every single year, but haven't let you down yet.
Speaker 1: So you take the shot that was me this year
Speaker 1: with Sammy Watkins, and it was just a huge letdown.
Speaker 1: What do you think Sammy Watkins goes this year? Because
Speaker 1: I was somebody I was thinking too, because I already
Speaker 1: kind of told myself, I'm out, there's no way I'm
Speaker 1: drafting Sammy. Watching what everyone said that about Jordan read
Speaker 1: Lex here, and then I was kind of in on
Speaker 1: Jordan reading if you're getting Sammy Watkins and like the
Speaker 1: double digit rounds, that's what I would take the drafts.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly and that's exactly where will be right.
Speaker 1: I'll take him the double digit rounds like I would
Speaker 1: take him into double digit round because you still know
Speaker 1: what the town is. We'll see if he falls that far.
Speaker 1: That's the question mark, right, Like it will always be
Speaker 1: little Sammy Watkins Truthers that will like, all right, we'll
Speaker 1: drag him up the draft board. Att bit, I'll take
Speaker 1: him in the eighth round here, just so I can
Speaker 1: get my my share of the Chief's offense, my cheap share.
Speaker 1: Let me sign off a YouTube now because I want
Speaker 1: to get into some New York e things. So let's
Speaker 1: sign off YouTube to do that. Um, so thank you
Speaker 1: for watching Having New Year. Uh, the Fantasy Friends, He's
Speaker 1: up next. Corey Parson Gym Day. Chris Ventures still hungover,
Speaker 1: so he's not here today. Um, but Corey Parson Gym Day.
Speaker 1: They are the Fantasy Frenzy Good Squad is up next
Speaker 1: to listening on the podcast like subscribe right is five
Speaker 1: stars leave a common New Year, New Likes, make sure
Speaker 1: it happens. And if you're listening to Live with the Radio,
Speaker 1: we go another four minutes. Let me do a call
Speaker 1: the New York he things with you, Frankie dou will
Speaker 1: you beat f F like that? I like that a
Speaker 1: lot um joining with a with a Dave good him
Speaker 1: The New York Giants updates, not the Giants at all. Uh.
Speaker 1: The next lost fifteen of seventeen and now we're tied
Speaker 1: to are doing a great jobs. Now, this is how
Speaker 1: you you do a tank job correctly. If you know,
Speaker 1: the Giants should take some notes from from the Knicks.
Speaker 1: You never knew if they were trying to tank or not,
Speaker 1: Like they never went full tank, and then they were
Speaker 1: still kind of in games. If they beat the Eagles
Speaker 1: that game where they're up like whatever it was or
Speaker 1: what were they up, like one to three or something
Speaker 1: like that, you win that game, you actually still have
Speaker 1: a chance to kind of make the playoffs. But they
Speaker 1: go back and forth, and so, honest forth, Nick's doing
Speaker 1: a great job of tanking as long as you know
Speaker 1: what happened. Though, Greg, I think there's a very clear
Speaker 1: top two in the NBA draft this year. I don't know,
Speaker 1: if you you typically watch more college basketball than I do,
Speaker 1: would you agree that there's a consensus top two in
Speaker 1: the NBA draft between Zion and so the Knicks. Now,
Speaker 1: based on a new NBA draft lottery rules, all you
Speaker 1: have to do is finish inside the top the bottom
Speaker 1: three records, and you all have the same percentage chance
Speaker 1: of setting the first, second, or third pick. The Knicks
Speaker 1: will get the third pick. You know, think at that
Speaker 1: point they just rigged for them, I'd hope. So. I
Speaker 1: think they haven't had the numeral world pick. They didn't
Speaker 1: need Phoenix. They don't. They don't want Phoenix to get
Speaker 1: it again. I think they would. I think they're rigged
Speaker 1: for him at that point, I hope, so same all right,
Speaker 1: other and the last point New York, he wise, uh, Frank,
Speaker 1: right before I went to bed last night. I mean,
Speaker 1: the most amazing text they've gotten. And I sell you
Speaker 1: a lot of amazing texts actually, and it is that
Speaker 1: dreams do come true. As a fantasy player, for a
Speaker 1: long time, I was a monstrous Troy to lhiskey fan
Speaker 1: back in Colorado because that that blend of speed in
Speaker 1: power at the time at the shortstop position was on
Speaker 1: match that he didn't get that ever in the first
Speaker 1: round of Fantasy Baseball drafts every year, and it was
Speaker 1: always that that six seven spot, and it was his
Speaker 1: health was always an issue, and it remained an issue
Speaker 1: throughout his career. Got traded into Monster trated Toronto and
Speaker 1: has not played in you know, over a year and
Speaker 1: a half now, July the last time he stepped on
Speaker 1: the field. How to work out in California, UM, the
Speaker 1: Blue Years are paying to a pot all this year. No,
Speaker 1: not good. Blue Jay's paying twenty million dollars and he
Speaker 1: was going to sign somewhere for the bare minimum, and
Speaker 1: he decided to sign with the New York Yankees. He's
Speaker 1: war number two his entire career in honor of his idol,
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. He cannot do that anymore. I can't even
Speaker 1: wear twenty two because the stupid Jacobe Ellsbury he wears twelve.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else on the rosters, well
Speaker 1: maybe I saw Yankees Twitter last night, like just led
Speaker 1: to low ware number two to be fun, and I'm like, NA,
Speaker 1: don't do that. Whatever. Less. This is how I felt
Speaker 1: last year about Andrew McCutchen, because when I first got
Speaker 1: into Fantasy baseball was I was like a junior senior
Speaker 1: in high school. It's like two thousand eight, and Andrew
Speaker 1: McCutcheon was just coming up. He was like one of
Speaker 1: the top prospects in baseball. I remember I had my
Speaker 1: first year playing with History Baseball. I picked up Andrew
Speaker 1: mccutchenon He was awesome, took the lead by storm as
Speaker 1: a rookie, and it was ever since then like I
Speaker 1: fell in love with McCutchen. I have like his player's
Speaker 1: shirt and for last year to see him where pinstripes
Speaker 1: was really awesome. I mean it's from the later stages
Speaker 1: of his career, so we all know Cutch is not
Speaker 1: nearly the player he wants was the same thing could
Speaker 1: be said for Tory Slew Whisky. But I guess a
Speaker 1: fun moment for you and other to low fans, it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter to me. I was just like, don't whatever,
Speaker 1: It's like a cheap deal. He'll play half the season
Speaker 1: until Deep is back and you know what, basically what
Speaker 1: you texted me back. Yeah, he'll be a utility inferior.
Speaker 1: It's fun, but also like the first half of the season,
Speaker 1: the Yankees will have the worst defense in that will
Speaker 1: be history tweam unless they tie Machado, but still a
Speaker 1: new hard too, Low Glaber and Luke Void. That's your
Speaker 1: infield defense. Greg Frenzy's up next. No more to low talk.
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure of that. Staff. I'm Greg songs many
Speaker 1: fantastic evening and we'll see tomorrow. We hope. Does your
Speaker 1: fantasy team suck? Maybe you need us. The Fantasy Sports
