I don't know how people have ever 39 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: feel about me being the voice of buck Eye Nation, 40 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: but I'll take it. I'll take it, dude. 41 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 7: Do we have any concerns about just the offense? I mean, 42 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 7: it's they got to a slow starvers Ohio University. I 43 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 7: know how how he was one of the better MAC teams. 44 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 7: But any thoughts on the offense? 45 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I no, I think I said last week, didn't 46 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: I did didn't that take all you to cover last week? 47 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: I think that's right, right, johnas you the one who 48 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: keeps track of it. 49 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, I believe he did. 50 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: Yes, I did. I took him to cover last week, 51 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: so I guess, I guess. I guess I was ahead 52 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: of that one. Yeah. I mean, I think the red 53 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: zone offense has been an issue off and on the 54 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: last few years, so I've got a little concern there. 55 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: But you know, maybe you get that freshman running back 56 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: a little bit more run and we'll be okay. So 57 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: I feel okay, Yeah, I mean, he looks like he 58 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: can really play. I guess he was hurt as a 59 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: senior in high school and so maybe he wasn't rated 60 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: and I think he was still like top hundred in 61 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: the country or something like that, but like maybe he 62 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: wasn't rated the way he should have been. But he 63 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: looks awesome, So so yeah, no, I I have I 64 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 2: have mild concerns about the red zone offense, but that's 65 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: just sort of like PTSD lingering stuff from the last 66 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,279 Speaker 2: few years. 67 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 6: Maybe I'm curious because we were kicking this around earlier. 68 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: I know that's how you guys are bringing me in 69 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: to break down the Buckeyes. 70 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, thanks for joining us out for That'll be it. 71 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: I actually dowed out too much. 72 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 5: But I'm just I'm curious because we're kind of kicking 73 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 5: this around earlier, the potential of this happening, even though 74 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 5: it's two and a half weeks into the season, because 75 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 5: it's a Thursday night game. 76 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 6: If things go. 77 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 5: Really bad for Miami tonight, what are the chances we 78 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 5: could be talking about a coaching change already at some 79 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 5: point this weekend in Miami. 80 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: I mean, are we talking about it or is it happening? 81 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: Because if it goes bad, and I think we're all 82 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: going to be talking about it, whether or not it 83 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: happens is probably another story. You know. I look like 84 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: I think there's a there's a few things that works here. 85 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: Number one, like they're like over the course of the offseason, 86 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: there's a lot of noise about, like what was a 87 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: messy situation internally there, And you know, really, I think 88 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: a huge part of it comes down to the way 89 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: star players were treated the last few years. There were 90 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: players in att locker room and felt like there was 91 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: a double standard, so they tried to make some changes 92 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: to kind of get the culture back. This off season 93 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 2: one of them was trading away Jalen Ramsey. Then I 94 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: think on top of that, they're they're going through a 95 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: natural reset, slash rebuild, whatever you want to call it. 96 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: And you know, like, so toront Arms has gone, now, 97 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: Ramsey's gone now, you know, and I think they sort 98 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: of felt like, and I think they're right about this, 99 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: that they've kind of maxed out with that group that 100 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: they brought in, that they built aggressively while two was 101 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: still in's rookie contract. So they're going to be going 102 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: through a little bit of a retooling over the next 103 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: year or two anyway, And generally when you're in that spot, 104 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: you know, an owner is going to ask big picture 105 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: questions like do I have the right people in charge 106 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: right now? And so you know, you add that those 107 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: two things to the fact that they're own to now. 108 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: The first game was a complete notion show. The second 109 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: game wasn't a no show. I think the effort was 110 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 2: better in the second game, but there were still a 111 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: lot of like operational issues. And so now you've got 112 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: like this Thursday night game, which I mean, we've seen 113 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: the way these things go, like the way the volume 114 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 2: gets turned up and standalone games and the way people 115 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: sort of talk about things differently because it's the only show, 116 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: it's the only game on and yeah, I mean, I 117 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 2: think if if Buffalo comes out and it's you know, 118 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: which could happen, if it Bubble comes out and it's 119 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: twenty four to nothing in the middle of the second quarter, 120 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: then every single one of us is going to be 121 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: talking about how much longer does this last? With Mike 122 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: n Daniel, I don't know whether or not Steven ros 123 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: has the appetite to pull to plug this early. I 124 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: think if he did, it would probably relate to wanting 125 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: to get a look at Anthony Weaver as a potential 126 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: head coach and get him an audition. I still think 127 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: it's early for that, but you know, I certainly think 128 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: some of the conversation around it. I think Mike's a 129 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: really good coach, but I think some of the conversation 130 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: around bit is certainly is certainly you know, something that's warranted, 131 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: and because I do think it's something that's going to 132 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: be happening internally over the course of the year, things 133 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: will turn around. 134 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 7: Albert we kind of talked about this earlier in the week, 135 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 7: like what good does this really do? For the Dolphins. 136 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 7: I mean, even though you could say, oh, it gives 137 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 7: you a jump on the head coaching search, so what 138 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 7: we know other organizations that are back channeling why they've 139 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 7: got a guy in place that they know they're going 140 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 7: to fire, So like why why now? Like this just 141 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 7: takes the entire season. 142 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I always ask that question too, Brady, And I 143 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: think it's I think it's the right question to ask, 144 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: like because you know, it's like last year with the Jets, right, 145 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: like Robert Sala hadn't lost that team like that. That 146 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: situation was the owner wanting his time to flesh, the 147 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 2: owner being on social media and taking too much attention 148 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: to what was being said in the tabloids, and you know, 149 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: the owner Like like, I think in a lot of cases, 150 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: it can be the playcate of fan base. It can 151 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: be to it can be it can be in an 152 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: overreaction to you know, public sentiment. You know, and I 153 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: and I and I don't know. I wouldn't say that 154 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: that that that Stephen Ross is overly prone to that 155 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: sort of thing, although he has you know, gone through 156 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: a mid season firing before, so I think it would 157 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: have to be to me, it be it has to 158 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: be one of two things. It's either Mike McDaniel has 159 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: lost the team to the point where it's becoming a 160 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: poisonous environment for the rest of the players, and you 161 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: don't want your younger players developing in that environment the 162 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: rest of the year. I don't think that's necessarily the case. Now. 163 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: I don't think do I think every single player in 164 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: that locker room is walked in on every word? Mike 165 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: McDaniel says no. Do I think the the the environment 166 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: has gotten to the point where it's poisonous. I don't 167 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: think it's there yet. The second reason to do it 168 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: would be you think so much of someone on your 169 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: staff that you want to get that get a real 170 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 2: look at them as a potent, actual head coach. And 171 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: they love Anthony Weaver, you know, like I. You know, 172 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: I I think the locker room, the defensive players really 173 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: like Anthony Weaver. So like I do think I could 174 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: get to that point. But do I think that you 175 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: need to see like fourteen games of him and risk 176 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: a lot of other things going wrong? Probably not like 177 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: you probably you know, get a shorter sample size on that. 178 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: So those would be the two reasons to do it. 179 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: I think those two reasons can be valid to do 180 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: it this early. But you know, I just again, like, 181 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: I don't think we're at that point on either front 182 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: with the Dolphins. 183 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: But yet I'm gonna shift gears from this game and 184 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: ask you about what's going on with Tom Brady. It 185 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: would be and just all the murmuring and discussion points, 186 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 4: does this does this bubble up into something big enough 187 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: where there actually has to be a real conversation one 188 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: way or the other. I would assume there's no going 189 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 4: back once you're approved as as someone that's the owner. 190 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 4: But that does that make it a more intense conversation 191 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: for his employment with Fox? 192 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's an interesting conversation 193 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: because I do think it touches on some things that 194 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: people aren't really talking about right now. The strategic stuff. 195 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Like I think that like you 196 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: have to be careful is that if you're one of 197 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: these games right like, so obviously in the Raiders play 198 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: the Commanders this week, Brady had the Commanders two weeks ago. 199 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: Brady has the Bears this week. The Raiders have the 200 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: Bears next week. So there are those things where you 201 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 2: have to be careful and you have to be smart. 202 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: I think if you're a coach or a player on 203 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: one of those teams, and I certainly think it's fair 204 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: to be concerned about, Like you put a younger players 205 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 2: in one of these production meetings, and like he idolizes Brady, right, 206 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 2: so he gets comfortable talking to Brady and does he 207 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: let some things slip because like it's important for him 208 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: personally to have a relationship with Brady. Like, teams are 209 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: going to have to be careful about those things, no doubt, 210 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: Like I think that that's a fair thing to worry about. 211 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: I actually don't think like the game strategy thing is 212 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: a big deal though for me. I think what like 213 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: owners would be more concerned about as far as just 214 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: from a competitive advantage standpoint, is the ability to access 215 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: players and coaches on other teams in a way that 216 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: would be tampering for the other thirty one. Right, In 217 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: other words, like is Tom Brady able to kind of 218 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 2: like get a character assessment on players from being around 219 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: them through his broadcast job. That's going to help inform 220 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: the Raiders' decisions on free agency and trades going forward, Right, 221 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 2: So he has a chance to say they have the 222 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs three times, and I don't know, pick a free 223 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: agent for the Chiefs, the guy from the Chiefs who's 224 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: going to be a free agent next year. Right, Well, 225 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 2: now Brady actually has had the opportunity to sit down 226 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: and be around those guys and talk to other people 227 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: in the organization about that guy three different times. And 228 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: now he has all this background on a guy who 229 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: might be signed fifteen minutes after free agency starts. So 230 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: none of the other teams are going to have the 231 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 2: opportunity to do that sort of thing. Same thing I'm 232 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 2: coaching front right Like, so like, let's say the Raiders 233 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: aren't happy with one of their coordinators. Now Brady got 234 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: to meet, you know, let's say it's defensive coordinator. Brady 235 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: got to meet five or six linebackers coaches over the 236 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: course of the of the season through his Fox job, 237 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: and he was standing on the field and got to 238 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: meet them that way, or he got to meet them 239 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: in a production meeting. And now like he's able to 240 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: hit the ground running and be aggressive and going and 241 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: getting the guy he wants while other teams are still 242 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: going through the process of getting to know all these guys. 243 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: You know, early in the offseason. There are those sorts 244 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: of things that I think are very real competitive advantages 245 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 2: for the Raiders from a team building standpoint, And I 246 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: think that's the stuff that people aren't paying attention to, right. 247 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: I think it's the coaching players. Yeah, go ahead, Brady, No. 248 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 7: I'm just going to say it, but like, come on, 249 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 7: these coaches, no other linebackers coaches they have that works. 250 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 7: I mean, this is the league, but that well, Albert, 251 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 7: I'm just saying, like, honestly, like it, it's no different. 252 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 7: We said this earlier, like the side stealing thing with 253 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 7: kind of talians, Like everyone makes a big deal about it, 254 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 7: and reality, what was the actual impact that had on games? 255 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 7: Probably not as much, especially considering everyone knew about it. 256 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 7: Everyone was changing their signals, everyone was was actually helping 257 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 7: other teams that went against Michigan prepare by giving them 258 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 7: their signals. Like the whole entire thing to me was 259 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 7: a little bit overblown. And in this sense, it's like okay, 260 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 7: but like everyone knows everyone in the league, and like 261 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 7: are there new linebackers coaches that they're unaware of? Like, well, 262 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 7: tampering rules are effect because you don't want to try 263 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 7: to obviously, have a guy who's currently hired somewhere else 264 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 7: be talking to another team elsewhere. Like that's why tampering exists, 265 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 7: Like it's a moral in that sense. It's not because 266 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 7: they're worried about the relationship. I mean, like, do you 267 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 7: think Tom Brady right now is free time? I mean, 268 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 7: given that he's probably the most eligible bachelor that is 269 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 7: out there, is more focused on who that next hot 270 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 7: linebacker coaches that they're gonna hunt. 271 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: But I think, but but I think anybody who's been 272 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: around Tom knows how ultra competitive he is and knows that, 273 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: like and look like this is Tom's personality, like I 274 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: and I'm not saying he's doing I'm. 275 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 7: Not even saying this is he doesn't want to skinner 276 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 7: situation to happen, you know, off the field. 277 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: I mean, like, so he's got the Bears and Cowboys 278 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: this week. Let's just say, you know again, like he's 279 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: in a he's in a production meeting with carry Von 280 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: Diggs and Trayvon Diggs gets cut after the year. Well, 281 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 2: like and the Fox crew is probably going to like 282 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: that crew is probably gonna have the Cowboys five times 283 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: this year. Right, so now Brady has like such like 284 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: it has has had intimate knowledge of someone else of 285 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: the guy. Somebody else is, you know, cutting, and the 286 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 2: Raiders have a hole at corner. So now all of 287 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: a sudden, the Raiders can hit the ground running because 288 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: they know the guy is. The background work is done 289 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: and they can aggressively move and value. 290 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 7: Okay, but then then why allow him to do both 291 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 7: in the first case? 292 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 6: Like this goes back to. 293 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: The initiative side. Now here's why. That's the interesting part 294 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: about it, right, Like to me, like, that's that is why, like, 295 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 2: and I don't want to make this just about Fox. 296 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: I know we're on a Fox platform here, but like 297 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: I like, I think it's like ESPN paying Joe Buck 298 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: and Troyman eighteen million dollars a year piece. Right. The 299 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: reason why ESPN did that, and both those guys are 300 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: phenomenal at what they do, so this is like a 301 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: credit to them, right. But the reason the SPN does 302 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: that is because ESPN wanted to get into the into 303 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl rotation and the NFL. It basically signaled 304 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: the ESPN, your broadcast on Monday night right now does 305 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: not steel big enough. It does not is not it 306 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: does not elevate the game enough for us to give 307 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: you a super Bowl really and that was it. Yeah, 308 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: So they go and they they go and they bring 309 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: in Joe and Troy because they want they because ESPN 310 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: wanted into the super Bowl rotation. And after they get 311 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: Joe and Troy, what happens. They're into the super Bowl rotation. 312 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: The reason I'm telling that story is because the NFL 313 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: their concern is, I'm making every game seem as much 314 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: se seem like as much of an event as they 315 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: possibly can, to build it up as much as they 316 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: possibly can, and having Tom Brady on the broadcast helps 317 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: them build up Like the games that Tom Brady's on like, 318 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: it helps build up those games. And so it's in 319 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: the NFL office's best interest to have the highest procliud 320 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: guide possible who can make the game feel the biggest 321 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: in the boost. Right, it's like the John Madden effect, right, 322 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: like every game when you were a kid, every game 323 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: that John Madden and Pat Summer I'll call when we 324 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: were kids was like felt like a massive game. Right, 325 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: that's the premise. And so like the feeling is the 326 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: bigger the name we have in the booths, the bigger 327 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: the game field. And so the NFL is going to 328 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: bend over backwards. Is the NFL league off. It's not 329 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: the owner, it's not the thirty two, but then the 330 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: NFL league off league off. It's well, yeah, we're going 331 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: to bend over backwards because we want the games to 332 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: feel as big as possible. Brady will help us do that, 333 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: which ultimately will help make the broadcast packages as valuable 334 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: as possible and help us make the most So like, 335 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 2: I think that that's why Brady is like that they 336 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: wanted this is like typical. The NFL wants this cake, 337 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: wants to have its cake and eat it too, right. 338 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: Having Brady with the Raiders was great for the Raiders 339 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: because they helped bring in all these big money guys 340 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: to change these of the franchise. You're Michael Meltman, you're 341 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: Egan Deurb and Tom Wickner's business partner. So that helps 342 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: the Raiders that help survive an iconic brand. And then 343 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: Tom Brady is the broadcast or helped to build up 344 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: the actual games themselves. And so it's a unique situation 345 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: because of who Tom Brady is. And you know, I 346 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: think this again is like, is there a conflict here? Yeah, 347 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: but the NFL is choosing to not worry about that 348 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: conflict and try to have it both ways. 349 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 6: Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Get 350 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 6: him on x at Albert Breer. 351 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 5: I want to ask you about the game that Brady 352 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 5: is calling this weekend, the Cowboys of the Bears, in particular, 353 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 5: Ben Johnson not shy about calling out his own team 354 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 5: me called out their practice habits yesterday to the media. 355 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 5: What are you hearing from people you talked to about 356 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 5: what the real concern is there? Because to me, it 357 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 5: doesn't feel like it's so much about Caleb Williams. It 358 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 5: feels like Ben Johnson's looking around, going we got other 359 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 5: issues here. 360 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think like one of the things like 361 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson felt like walking in there. This is just 362 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: my perception from what I've gathered from people in that 363 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: organization since he's got there, is that there was a 364 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 2: lot to clean up and that they and that, you know, 365 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 2: the way he wanted to build it, it was going 366 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 2: to be hard to get there in that first year 367 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: was gonna be really hard, and we talked about this. 368 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: We talked about this over the summer with Caleb specifically. 369 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 2: But I do think it's like a five across the organization. 370 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: So with Caleb, the whole the whole approach was, you know, 371 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna feed him through a fire, ohs. And so 372 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 2: it's going to look bad early in camp, and we're 373 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 2: going to give him the whole offense and we're gonna 374 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: see what he can handle. We're gonna on them with information. 375 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: Now you can argue whether or not that's the right 376 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 2: way to do it, but the thought was like, let's 377 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 2: see what he can handle. Let's put him through everything, 378 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 2: and then we'll figure out what he's good at, and 379 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 2: we'll narrow it down and we'll lean into what he's 380 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 2: good at as the season goes on. And I think 381 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 2: that that's existing now from a you know, on on 382 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: on a on a global level with the team too, 383 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: where you look at it and you say, okay, what 384 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: can we do too, what can we do? What can 385 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 2: we do to to to jump start this place and 386 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: get this place turned around faster? And so it's being 387 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: hard on people and it's like like let's see who 388 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: survives and let's weed people out, and like let's see 389 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 2: who can who can handle the heat. And this is 390 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: going to be a tough program to be in. And 391 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: you know, I think it's it's it's interesting because I 392 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: don't think it's that different than what Dan Campbell did 393 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 2: in Detroit, right in the way that Dan Campbell built Detroit. 394 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: It's just a message is being delivered in a different 395 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: way by a different person. So it'll be interesting to 396 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: see the way that you see how all of that 397 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 2: turns out. But there's a very i'd say, like to 398 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: what Campbell built in Detroit. There's like a very parcels 399 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 2: and I would say, way about the way the Lions 400 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 2: were built. And you know, I feel like, you know, 401 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: you see a lot of that and Ben Johnson the 402 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 2: way he's trying to build it there. Just the messengers 403 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,719 Speaker 2: are quite a bit different than than than than what 404 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: it looked like with the Lions. 405 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 7: Hey yeah, I've got one more. Uh the Giants obviously, 406 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 7: you know when you look at where they're at the 407 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 7: record at Owen two, you kind of the sense that 408 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 7: there's gonna be people clamoring for Jackson Dart to start early, 409 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 7: start that clock on. It suited that later that being said, 410 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 7: Russell Wilson played phenomenal that the exception of that interception 411 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 7: just take me through the patients that the organization has 412 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 7: and not wanting to turn this thing over to Jackson 413 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 7: Dart and stick with Russell Wilson. 414 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think, like I I like to me, 415 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: it's like there's there's there's a few different elements here. 416 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 2: It's it's Russell Wilson's the ability to keep the Giants 417 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: relevant in the race, it's Jackson Dart's readiness, and then 418 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: you know, and then then then I think it's like 419 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: kind of the juncture of the season that you're at. 420 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 2: And so like Jackson Dart has from the beginning checked 421 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: every box and he was more ready for the NFL 422 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 2: than people thought. I think the Giants thought. The Giants 423 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: thought coming in that like people understold him, thinking he 424 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: was a little raw coming from Lane Kiffin's offense when 425 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: Wayne was doing some old school West Coast stuff there. 426 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 2: And like it's even he's even further along than they 427 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 2: thought he would be. And so the decision to make 428 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: him the backup I think was very talent just in like, 429 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: we are ready to put him in a game right 430 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: now if we need to. They put him in a 431 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 2: game obviously last week against Dallas, and so like they 432 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: would feel comfortable playing him now, and so like now 433 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: the pressures on Russell Wilson to keep playing the way 434 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: that he played last week, And then you know you 435 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: have the other piece of it, which is like where 436 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: is the team interlations into the playoff race? And they're 437 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: all in two right now. And I don't know if 438 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: you guys have looked at their schedule, but everybody in 439 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: the NFC is this year at the NFC nor and 440 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 2: the AFC West, and so things aren't going to get 441 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: easier on the Giants from here. So like, what does 442 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: that look like in week seven, Week eight, week nine? 443 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: And that's the point where you could get to where like, 444 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: even if Russell Wilson is playing well, what's right for 445 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 2: the Giants is for is for for for Jackson Dart 446 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: to be in there. So there are just some moving 447 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: parts there. But I do feel like it would be 448 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: comfortable playing Jackson Dart right now. And I don't think 449 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: the gap between the two quarterbacks is very big at all. 450 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 4: Abe, real quick, what about Cleveland? I mean, the conversation 451 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 4: being the same, I guess in terms of what my 452 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 4: question would be as it applies to the New York Giants, 453 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 4: what does Cleveland do They have Joe Flacco starting? Yeah, 454 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 4: but they're not off to a great start. What I mean, 455 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 4: when do the conversations get louder? When does the pressure 456 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 4: get become more and what do you do in this scenario? 457 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: Well, speaking of schedules, if you look at the Brown schedule, 458 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: I mean like from here it's Packers on Sunday. I 459 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 2: got it up now, Packers on Sunday at Lions Vikings. 460 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 2: That one is in London at Steelers. So like you 461 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 2: could be looking at Owen six there, you know, and 462 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: then it loosens a little after that, you know, and 463 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 2: that you think you got the Dolphins, the Patriots and 464 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: the vibe. But if you're owing six, I think that's 465 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: where you start to say, okay, like do we need 466 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: to get a look at the younger guys. You know, 467 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: I felt this way from the start. Like I talked 468 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 2: about the gap being small between between Wilson and Dart 469 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 2: and Dart really coming along. I don't know that it's 470 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: that close to en Flaco and the rookies in Cleveland. 471 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: That said, like, you're eventually going to come to a 472 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: point where you know, it's not just about like getting 473 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 2: your veteran players the best chance to compete. It's going 474 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: to be about evaluating your roster based on the schedule. 475 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: How quickly do the Browns get to that point? And 476 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 2: I'm not saying their season is over, but you know, 477 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: right now they're they're zero and two and they're staring 478 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 2: down the barrel of what's a very difficult schedule going forward. 479 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: So you know, I certainly think we could be in 480 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: November at some point and they're in evaluation mode, which 481 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: may mean they want to get a look at at 482 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel and shoud Or Sanders before the end of 483 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: the year, which could help inform what they do at 484 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: quarterback in twenty twenty six when they'll have two first 485 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: round picks. 486 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 5: Get them on x at Albert Breers, senior NFL reporter, 487 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 5: lead content strategists at the MMQB ab we appreciate it. 488 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 5: I asked you about Ohio State, but they're on a 489 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 5: buy this week, so we'll get that. 490 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 2: Bet right there.
