Speaker 1: And uh, it's not often we get big news at midnight.

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: We're nine o'clock here in Los Angeles, but we have

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: that the first domino of the coaching cycle is set

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: to fall. Adam Schefter reporting this just moments ago, Gonna

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: give you his tweet right off of social media that

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: maybe the most sought after guy on the head coaching

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: market has found a partner.

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 4: This from nine minutes ago.

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh and the Jet John Harbaugh and the Giants

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: are working to finalize an agreement to make him New

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: York's next head coach, and, barring a setback, a deal

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: is expected. Multiple sources tell ESPN the deal is not

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: final and contract numbers still are being negotiated. One source

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: said quote there is still a lot to work through,

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: but barring any setbacks, Harbaugh is ready to accept the

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Giants deal and the Giants are expected to hire him

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. John Harbaugh and the Giants, a

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: match we thought was going to happen early on, looks

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: like it is. Harball was meeting with the Giants today.

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: I saw the headline of New York Post was don't

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: let him out of the building. He doesn't leave the

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: building without signing a contract. And then we heard that, Hey,

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go meet with Tennessee. Wait wait, really, I

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: thought you were you were discerning who are you're meeting with?

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna go meet with Tennessee, You'll meet with the Titans. Real,

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go get some Nashville hot chicken

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: or what. Hey, you don't give me that contract, Giants,

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: I'll go meet with the Titans.

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's not get crazy. Let's not get crazy, hang on,

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: hang on, hang on.

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: Okay, well that means I have extra time during my

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: interview with the Titans because they're talking to everybody.

46
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: But you said you're only gonna tell you you were

47
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: gonna be really you're gonna weed teams sharing, Yeah, you know,

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: very selective. If you're talking to the Titans, you're talking

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: to everybody.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: So you're saying you're not talking to the other twenty

51
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: three twenty two teams plus the Ravens about their about

52
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: their jobs, right, because there's only nine available.

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is uh, this is not how uh it

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: normally goes. When you are that sought after, you don't

55
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, you don't meet with the Titans and sorry

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals and the Raiders. But again, nine openings.

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: You need to create some leverage. But it turns out

58
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: didn't need to because the Giants are gonna get that guy. Look,

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter is not tweeting this out unless the Giants

60
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: are getting John Harbaugh, right and and whatever his demands were,

61
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: twenty million dollar a year control over personnel. The money,

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: look doesn't matter, right, money doesn't matter because it's not

63
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: salary cap contingent. It's what the best coaches in the NFL.

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: It should be the next benchmark for them to start making.

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Eventually they'll start treating treating college NFL coaches like college

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: football coaches, where the big ones make inordinate amounts of money,

67
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, money that they should be doing. They shouldn't

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: make it more earlier, but they'll get it. The whole

69
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: part of control over the roster. I don't know that

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Joe Shane's real happy with it, but I know that

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: he also has a choice at this point, because hey,

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: you kept your job. But the thing is, Joe Shane's

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: done a good job of bringing talent in, right. I mean,

74
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: you could say, okay, hey, you know you want to

75
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: blame Brian Dable. Yeah he's a guy coaching the guys

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: on the field. But uh, you know, Joe Shane's a guy.

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Hey listen, I'm just packing the groceries and buying him

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: for you're the one cooking the meal. So I mean,

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: I bought all the right groceries. I got the right

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: I got the right ingredients. I got ones on sale,

81
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: I got organic. I got stuff that's gonna stay fresh.

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: I didn't buy milt it's gonna go bad in two

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: days now. I got all the great groceries. Man, I

84
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: got you Jackson Dart, got your scataboo in the fourth round, Right,

85
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: got you? Elak neighbors, you know, made something out of

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: Wandale Robinson, Theo Johnson, right, the defensive line. Maybe Abdua

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Carter really gets it, becomes a superstar, right, We've hey,

88
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: I've given you great groceries. But so that's the one

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: part that's a little weird. But outside of that, look,

90
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: I give the Giants credit because they didn't let him

91
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: out of the building. And the big takeaway is the

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: Giants got John Harbaugh for one very simple reason. They

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: have or had the best opening of any of the

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: nine teams in the NFL. The Steelers is a great

95
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: opening because you know you're gonna get time. You're not

96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna get fired right away. And if, boy, if you're

97
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: the next Steelers head coach, he gets fired right, just

98
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: think about that like you make it two years of pitswall, but.

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: Just say coach terribly because that's one thing Tomlin never did.

100
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 5: Right.

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: We don't know, but the theory has not truly been

102
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: tested in a very very long time.

103
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: Just think when Adam Gase gets that gig and he

104
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: gets fired at all. To so so, Steelers is a

105
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: good because of that. Steelers is a good job because

106
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get time. But bottom line is

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: this is a team that's starting over at quarterback. You're

108
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: starting over to a lot of positions offensively. Your defense

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: is good, right, defense is always good.

110
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: Aging.

111
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but agent DJ Watts, right, Heyward and all these

112
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: guys might come back.

113
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: But they're all aging.

114
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: From a security standpoint, Okay, that's a good job. But

115
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: from a success standpoint, no job is better than the Giants.

116
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: They are set up to succeed. Again, the guys we

117
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: just talked about, these are all players at any look.

118
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: This is why when the Giants opening came about, right

119
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: when Dable got fired and you saw that Jackson Dart

120
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: was the real thing. Scat of is is a little

121
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: bit more than a cult here, probably a guy that

122
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: needs to split time in the back of the.

123
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah you have you had that you had a third

124
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 4: and seitary like you.

125
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Were okay, yeah, you're good when you see when all

126
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: the groceries are there for a phenomenal meal. This this

127
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: is this is a job you leave where you are for.

128
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: This is a job where you should be able to

129
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: go out and get the number one coaching candidate. Now,

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: I felt Harbor is a better fit with the Falcons.

131
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: We've talked about that, but I can't say the Giants

132
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: got it wrong. They went out and got the number

133
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: one guy out there who has a cachet, who's won

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, that that knows what it's like to

135
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: deal with with a big set, with big salaries and

136
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: big personalities in a in a in a in a

137
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: big market type situation. So okay, But the Giants got

138
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: John Harball because we had the best possible landing for you.

139
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: And that's when you look at all these other teams

140
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's like, boy, they're all really struggling.

141
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: Even you know, I got some big, big name openings there,

142
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: but nothing was better than the Giants. You you should

143
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: be and now it's it's hard for her. He's got

144
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: to walk in. They expect results right away, like you're expecting, Hey,

145
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: we're in the playoffs next year. We got Jackson Dart,

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: a healthy scoataboo with healthy neighbors, like we are in

147
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs next year. But Harball's not a guy that's

148
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: coming in with a system to take taking He's a

149
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: guy he's a CEO type head coach that will bring

150
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: in the players and bring in the coaches he wants, Hey,

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna run here, this is how

152
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. And he's always done a great

153
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: job of being that CEO type head coach. The Ravens

154
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: have always been in contention. They won AFC North no

155
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: matter what situations they are, whether they had weapons at

156
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver for Lamar Jackson, whether they didn't have weapons

157
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, whether they had a good running back

158
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: or they didn't have a good running back, they still

159
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: found their way to be there. So for the Giants,

160
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: it's a ready it's a ready made solution. And for

161
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: a guy like John Harbaugh to come in and where

162
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about building anything or signing

163
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: anybody crazy and free agency, it's all there. Just do

164
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: it like this is as close to being set up

165
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: for success as you're ever gonna have in the NFL.

166
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: Well, you also go to massive market and what was

167
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: once and can be again one of those organizations that

168
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: stood among the stable and the great and all of

169
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: those you know, hyperbolic you know terms that you would use.

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: You know, you looking at it from a Jets fan,

171
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: you've always hated them. Well, now you may have your

172
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 4: opportunity once again. With Harbaugh. I mean he was there

173
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: in Baltimore since two thousand and eight rookie year of

174
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: long time, long time Joe Flacco. Well, yeah, and they

175
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: came in together. Yeah, and well and Mark Sanchez, Well yeah, no,

176
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: he was, he was on nine. He was on nine.

177
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: He was the next year. Oh, that's right, he was

178
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: on nine o eight. It's Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco,

179
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: and Joe Flacco was elite. But all of that to

180
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: say one hundred and eighty and one hundred and thirteen.

181
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: And with the Giants, what you've had for the last

182
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: few runs is you've had several coaches who you kind

183
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 4: of liked. They got their their their legs under them,

184
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: and then just that quickly it went away. Look out

185
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: look the term of Brian Dable, right, he was the

186
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: hot thing and everything was working offensively, and then you

187
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: had a bunch of question marks as to how he

188
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: handled some of the talent that has been assembled. And

189
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: you've got a roster, got to figure out whether the

190
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: abdul Carter is get him. And there's been a lot

191
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: of rumblings of his work ethic, et cetera. But when

192
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 4: there were times on the field, they're like, yeah, that's

193
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: the guy you drafted in the first round, they traded

194
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: up to get Jackson Dart like Joe Shane for all

195
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: of the laughing stock, And we've talked about this a lot.

196
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: The Saquon Barkley move only looks terrible because you had

197
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: your owner come back over the top, going boy, I

198
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: really hope he doesn't go to Philadelphia, and then he

199
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: does and they win. Okay, fine, they're in the reset.

200
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: We talked about it last hour of what may be

201
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: going forward there, Jalen hurts, Nick Sirianni and company. But

202
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: Dallas plays well enough but can't get out of their

203
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: own way. Washington's in a bit of a rebuild mode.

204
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: Maybe they've got out their quarterback and things situated, but

205
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: you got a lot of question marks of the rest

206
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: of their roster. But for the Giants, yeah, they're trying

207
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: to get back to stability. And what did John Harbaugh do?

208
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: He was there forever he and Mike tongueould they face

209
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: off like forty four times or something like that before

210
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: they both exit, uh stage left. So the Giants are

211
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: looking to get back to being one of those marquee

212
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: franchises that everybody talks about their stability winning, et cetera.

213
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: For Harbad. The only question is I mean Greg Roman's available,

214
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: does he bring him back? Just Frostt's gonna come, He's

215
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: gonna fight. You know, he's gonna fight. He's not his

216
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: problem anymore anymore. I know, I know, I know. Maybe

217
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: Brandon Stalley comes back. You know, why did you do

218
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 4: that to him?

219
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm just going through former Chargers head coach. I'm just

220
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: going to former Chargers coaches.

221
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 4: Former coaches. Yeah, yeah, guys that were head men and

222
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: coordinators and whatever. But but yeah, for Harbaugh, I mean,

223
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: GoF guy, he's gonna interview in other places. But but

224
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: does he stays there? Oh? C You know, there's a

225
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: lot of questions that go through. How do you devise

226
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: a system whereby you get Jackson Dark to say, hey,

227
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: I'd like to play another down as opposed to ending

228
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: up in the tent. Well, and you've got and that's off.

229
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: That's what John Harbaugh's strength is, right because you think

230
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: about what what he did so well for so long,

231
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of it was Hey.

232
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 4: You know, look, coaching is people.

233
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: People forget sometimes that coaching is not always about the

234
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: x's and o's. It's the Jimmy and the Joe's right,

235
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: you've heard that, and we get caught up a lot

236
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: and head coaches that, Hey, what kind of system are

237
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: you bringing? What kind of system are you running? How

238
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: is it you're taking advantage of this system? System, system, system?

239
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's it's the coaching is so much as

240
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: hey getting lamar Jackson, Hey play this way a little

241
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: bit more right, trying to guide you to make you

242
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself you can be. So for

243
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: that part of it, Yeah, is is John Harbor the

244
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: guy to tell Jackson Dart, Hey, dude, this is how

245
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: you need to play. You got to run around to

246
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: stay around. Okay, you can't. You can't do that because

247
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: you're not helping us off the field. And when John

248
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: Harbaugh is telling you that a guy that's won Super Bowls,

249
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: been to two super Bowls, won what he's got, you

250
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: tend to listen to that more than Hey, here's Mike

251
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Kafka saying, if you could.

252
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: Not get hurt, so I could keep the job. After

253
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: Brian Dabele's getting fired like there was no once Dable

254
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: got from Northwestern? Is that why you did that?

255
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: Now he's doing the pimply faced guy from a Simpsons

256
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: mister Simpson. But just think about Jackson Dart the end

257
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: of the season. He was talking and carrying himself like

258
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm running the team, Like he's got a lot of

259
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: Brett fav Bravado in him and that, but like he's

260
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: not the guy that should be, Hey, I do this,

261
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: I do this. No, you have a strong head coach

262
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: in he doesn't say stuff like that, and he starts

263
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: to understand, I can't play that way.

264
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: Well, what a guy would sweat and I want that

265
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 4: part of him, right, I recognize that, right, And we've

266
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: talked about that a lot. When you look at Lamar,

267
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: you look at Josh Allen, go back to Cam Newton

268
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: and what'd you get eight nine years of Pete Cam.

269
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: That's the guy he is. But you've got to be

270
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 4: smart about when when to slide, when to get out

271
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: of bounds, when to not test. Hey is this guy

272
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: gonna run through me if I try to steal the

273
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: extra yard? Jackson Dart hasn't learned that. I'd like to

274
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: think as he revisits the twenty twenty five season in

275
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: the dark room, because that's how he has to watch

276
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: sure film review in the dark room, that he sits

277
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 4: there and recognizes you know what, I probably should have

278
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 4: gotten down. There's another one. Probably shouldn't ended up to

279
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: the tent because he played really well in some big games.

280
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: Yeah right, because that's the thing in twenty four. But

281
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: he wasn't beating up on cream pumps too. He was

282
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: he was going toe to toe against some of the

283
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: better teams in what was a weird twenty twenty five season.

284
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: But he played well in those spots, even with Malik

285
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: Neighbors already sidelined. So now you've got the opportunity he

286
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: comes back. He had another weapon. Wondell Robinson finished with

287
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: ninety two catches. Oh got some guys to work with you,

288
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 4: THEO Johnson. You mentioned him. He was a guy that

289
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 4: had a couple of really big games. We talked about

290
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: him a lot for fantasy purposes. You've got guys. Now

291
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 4: you've just got to rally it together. Remember when Harball

292
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: got hired by the Ravens. It was out of the

293
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: box thinking by Bishati because he wasn't an offensive or

294
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator. He was a special teams Yeah.

295
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, when there's all different kinds of specialties

296
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: that head coaches are specialize in, this is stuff like

297
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: that with Harbaugh and Jackson Dart. That's the number one

298
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: thing he's gonna get. Jackson Dart play a little bit smarter, X,

299
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Y and Z and you're gonna see. I mean, he's

300
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna have an impact on the team right away. So

301
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,239
Speaker 1: that is the big news at this hour. John Harbaugh

302
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: expected to finalize an agreement with the Giants, Adam Schefter

303
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: reporting that just a few minutes ago. Coming up next,

304
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: we have more on this big story. Harbaugh to the Giants,

305
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: what should the next coaching domino to fall be? I

306
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: got the team, I got the coach. That's next right here,

00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: Big News, Big News, Cuckoo.

324
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 4: Your selfish bastard. The Jets are number two, Stille. I

325
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: just went all dukes of hazard in your jumping cuckoo, cuckoo.

326
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: The Jets have always been number two pile of all

327
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: the teams. I root for the second best teams in

328
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: the market, right poop, And they're.

329
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: Picking number two. And that guy decided he doesn't want

330
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: any part of you, and it's all good.

331
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: By the Let me just say this right, okay, because

332
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: clearly this will make Frostburg happy. If k supposedly the

333
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Mets are waiting for Kyle Tucker's decision tomorrow right from

334
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, fifty million dollars a year now they've gone

335
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: up to a fourth year, according to reports. If Kyle

336
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Tucker has a four year, two hundred million dollar contract

337
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: on the table from the Mets, okay, and he's got

338
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: a longer term contract on the table from the Blue Jays,

339
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: which is probably for less aav but somewhere in the

340
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: vicinity of a seven or eight year, three hundred and

341
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollar deal something like that. Right, if

342
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: he's got both the short term big money contract that

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: he wants and the long term big money contract that

344
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: he wants and he hasn't signed with either team, this

345
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: tells me he wants someone else, likely the Dodgers, because

346
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: it supposedly be is down to these three teams for him.

347
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: So if he if he hasn't taken the Mets offer,

348
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: and he hasn't taken the Blue Jays offer, he wants

349
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: the Dodger And right now is a frantic fight to

350
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: the finish of can the Dodgers get close to what

351
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I want? Want? That's where I want to be. If

352
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers get close, he'll go there. If not, he'll

353
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: pick somewhere else. But it's clear to me that the

354
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: Mets and the Blue Jays are running second and third

355
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: to whoever his preferred destination is, and it's probably the Dog.

356
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean it's only three hundred and thirty million

357
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: Canadian Yeah, that is true. It's basically basically why would

358
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 4: you even sign it? I mean, why, yeah, you got

359
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: you gotta pump that up a bit. But but yeah,

360
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: the fact that the Mets are now extending to Ford,

361
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: It's like I watched the second half of that year.

362
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 4: We chronicled it, what happened with he and Pete Carr,

363
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: Armstrong and the rest of that squad. I'm not giving

364
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 4: that guy seven seven years. He's already in what year

365
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 4: ten or eleven of his career, Like, no chance, I

366
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: want the back end of that.

367
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Uh So, we have an update on the John Harbaugh situation.

368
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reporting about twenty five minutes ago that the

369
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: Giants and Harbaugh are working to finalize an agreement to

370
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: make him the giants next head coach, and, barring a setback,

371
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: a deal is expected. Now, there's still some teas to

372
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: cross and eyes to dot, but barring a setback, it

373
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: is expected.

374
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: That's boring though.

375
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Schefter just put this out a minute ago. Okay, John

376
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's with the Eagles from ninety ninety eight to two

377
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: thousand and seven before taking the Ravens head coaching job

378
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight. Okay, that's great bio for him.

379
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: But here's the big thing. Harbor with the Eagles from

380
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: ninety eight to two thousand and seven before taking the

381
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: Ravens head coaching job and now returns to the NFC

382
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: East to take over as the Giants head coach. So,

383
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: without saying so, Schefter in the last twenty five minutes

384
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: has gone from they're working to finalize it barring a

385
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: set back, and now I'm following up by saying he

386
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: returns to the NFC East to take over as a

387
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: Giant's head coach. So this is much closer to the

388
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: finish line than was exped Look, he's not putting his the.

389
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 4: Word choice there would return versus returns. Well, w h

390
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: now returns the NFC's to take over, not where he

391
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: would take over now, because look, Schefter knows what he's

392
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 4: tweeting and what he's not. So this this tells me

393
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 4: that without saying the deal is done, the deal is done.

394
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 4: And maybe this is something where the Giants called him

395
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: and said, hey, you got the story, we gave it

396
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: to you or whatever it was, we gave it to you,

397
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 4: but we're gonna announce it tomorrow morning. Okay, great, So

398
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 4: this is Schefter's way of doing it because the Giants

399
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 4: want to announce it but but clearly this is I mean,

400
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 4: we look, Schefter's not tweeting this out unless it's happening. Yeah,

401
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 4: it's too bad, though, I really wanted some chaos here. Well,

402
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 4: but what do you want on a box? Thinking here

403
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 4: by the Giants and talking to ian Ian Roddy uh producer,

404
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 4: I watch flex and he goes, you know, they they

405
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 4: had that Joe Judge Higher that was the Special Teams guy,

406
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: so he had a mini John Harbaugh. And now they

407
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 4: actually have a real thing all these years later. I mean,

408
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: think about it, since Tom Kaughlin, Ben McAdoo, Spagnolo Shermer,

409
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 4: Judge Dable Kafka. Yeah, John Harball, Yeah, it's that I

410
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 4: wanted something different though, I wanted Giants to give me

411
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: more chaos.

412
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: This is the thing where the Giants have gone from

413
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: head coaches they've hired that were really anti Giants hires

414
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: for a long time, because the Giants always went, hey, strong,

415
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: leader strong, you know.

416
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't know why they got a wait,

417
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: they went.

418
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Parcels Super Bowls to Coughlin Super Bowls and then it's

419
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: as you read, it's that cast. The characters they've run

420
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: through the last ten years, like those are such anti

421
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: Giants hires.

422
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: You had that run of Jim Fossil. Yeah, like like

423
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: it was years, but yeah they were still plus five

424
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: hundred sure, but yeah, long tenured, stable franchise was what

425
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 4: they were. And then they became synonymous and linked in

426
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: the unfortunate terms with the Browns, Jets and Raiders in

427
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 4: terms of the revolving door of coaches.

428
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: So I really it's it's it's a big step, and

429
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: it's a big swing for the Giants, and it's and

430
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: it's the right look. It's to get John Harborough. Like

431
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: I've said that Kevin Stefanski was the better call quarterback

432
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: wise for Jackson Dart. But it's not like hey, no, no,

433
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: don't go get John Harball. But Harball going here now

434
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: answers all the questions that the biggest like I said,

435
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is now, it's not gonna be Hey,

436
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: let's kind of be competitive next year. Let's not finish

437
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: with the third next year. It's gonna be playoffs next year.

438
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: I maybe division title because the Cowboys got problems, the

439
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: Eagles got problems. Nobody likes each other, commanders got problems. Hey,

440
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: this is what to expect and this is not just

441
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: what expects from the fan base. This is fan base,

442
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: this is front office, this is roster wise. John Harbaugh

443
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: comes in, we are expecting playoffs and potentially division title

444
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: next year.

445
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: Anything less is.

446
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: An absolute disaster because this is that's the one thing

447
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: is that there's gonna be no coming in where hey,

448
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: new coach, new culture, new everything. We're gonna give you

449
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: a little bit tight. No, this is we expect big

450
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: things next year. To the point, really, I mean playoffs obviously,

451
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you there's gonna be a there's gonna

452
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: be a lot. A big part of the Giants front

453
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: office and the tea we got to we should win

454
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: the division next year.

455
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: We should win the division. But you go four and

456
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 4: thirteen and you look at the way the playoffs have

457
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: worked in the regular season this year. You had some

458
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: dramatic turnarounds. You look at their their schedule for next year.

459
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: Obviously you've got your division games, but you have the Browns,

460
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 4: you have the Cardinals, you have the Titans on your schedule. Yeah,

461
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: you've got some heavyweights along the way and some teams

462
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: that are trying to find their way. But yeah, the

463
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: expectations are that you're going to with that core. Assuming

464
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: Scatterbo is ready for week one and you have that

465
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: sledgehammer the Juggernaut as I call them, right back in

466
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 4: because it's all Marvel, Right, But I got my Instagram

467
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 4: all algorithm today and it was telling me collectibles, action

468
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: figures and superheroes. So I have to go down that

469
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 4: road with the Juggernaut. But you you've got enough talent,

470
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: assuming that you can fill out a little bit of

471
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: your back seven on defense, that there's no reason you

472
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 4: shouldn't compete right away. Not just compete. Competing is not

473
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: no no. I mean, I'm talking competing on the highest level.

474
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: Nine ain't gonna do it man, eight and nine eight

475
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: good eight nine will do it in a lot of places.

476
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Eight nine you just got to do that. Jets Baltimore forever.

477
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: The Jets are eight nine next year, you know happy

478
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,480

00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: Wow, you'll be in suffer if you're eight and nine.

00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 4: You But here's how the Jets will do it. They'll go,

481
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: oh to nine that had that big push the finished strong.

482
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 4: You know how that worked for Raheem Morris. Right, Yeah,

483
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 4: They'll draft a quarterback who will stink. They'll say we

484
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 4: have to you know, Ty Simpson's gotta hit the bench.

485
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: And then like Jacoby Brissett or Matt Jones gonna come

486
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 4: in and say, hey, look he's gonna get cut in

487
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: in March. You're gonna end up with Kirk Cousins. No,

488
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 4: it's happy this time. You was us for leverage once.

489
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 4: Shame on me. There's seven general managers since then. No,

490
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. Everybody knows what's gonna pay him in

491
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: cole bot. I gotta get.

492
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Dude, you know the coals that I can have a

493
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: coals built right across the from the from the practice field.

494
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: I can his career. He can own coal. How would

495
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: you feel?

496
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: And they showed they showed me that in the PowerPoint

497
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: presentation that you know across the street, like right now,

498
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: it's like a Taco bell and and there's like a

499
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: Verizon Wireless or something else, and it's just he shows

500
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: this power point and it's a coals and a Mervyn

501
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: and a Target and a Patagonia.

502
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: And it just says, welcome Kirk on the This is

503
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 4: what you can do for your lunch break. You never

504
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 4: really have to even leave the complex. You can get

505
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 4: food and you get your shopping done and get your

506
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 4: ass back in the film room.

507
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: So understand that's the that's the biggest fear for the

508
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: Giant is the expectations. Now there's no mitigated where take it. No, no,

509
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: it is this is what has to happen. Where it

510
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: is a disaster.

511
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got the AFC South NFC, you got sixth

512
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 4: division games, of course, and then you've got the Browns,

513
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 4: the upstart Saints led by Tyler Shuck. Yeah, Rookie of

514
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 4: the year, Tyler Shuck. Maybe Rookie of the year. Maybe,

515
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 4: how about that? Maybe that would be something. Uh.

516
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: Now, so Harbaugh, the domino has fall well more on

517
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: his aspect than the Giants on this coming up in

518
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: a bit. But now that this has gone, the rest

519
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: of the coaching dominoes should fall in a somewhat more

520
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: orderly fashion because Harbaugh taking this big. You know, nineteen

521
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: eighty three Jackson's victory tour, We're gonna go here and

522
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: here and here. You know that was gonna stop things, right,

523
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: you know that was that was gonna stop the victory.

524
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: I actually just had video of the jack in my

525
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: timeline from their life.

526
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Went to a thousand cities victory tour, right, it was like, oh,

527
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: the victory the yeah, the Victory Tour, in the Springsteen Tour,

528
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: the whole going on. At the same time, It's like, man, okay,

529
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: the Victory Tour is like, hey, we're playing three cities

530
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: in one night, right, That's what it was.

531
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 4: So this victory tour for for John Harbaugh. You like that,

532
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: don't you?

533
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta I gotta explain the millennials, Uh what

534
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the victory Tour was?

535
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 4: All right?

536
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: So Johnny Drama, Hey, Drama just had to see that

537
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: you were weren't that old anymore? So with John Harbor

538
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: now at the Giants, the next domino should fall in

539
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: the somewhat more I don't want to say orderly button.

540
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: It's much more timely fashion than this. Right, everybody's waiting,

541
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: where's John Harbaugh gonna go? Any team that hasn't opening

542
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: is gonna want to talk to him, try to convince him.

543
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: The next domino that should fall is Kevin Stefanski to

544
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons. That's what should fall.

545
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: Right.

546
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: If I couldn't get Harbor, if he couldn't get Harbaugh

547
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: to the Falcons where his cachet would work with the

548
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: roster and getting the young players to play it there

549
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: at their highest level. Stefanski and his quarterback grew ness

550
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: which we'll be able to hopefully figure out Michael Pennock Junior, because,

551
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: let's face it, the guy I mean you consider her.

552
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: Tell me Michael Pennix is the future and he's a

553
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: franchise guy. I have not seen a franchise quarterback in

554
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Michael Penick Junior. I have seen a team that has

555
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: a lot of young talent and it can't be harnessed

556
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: now if you don't have John Harbaugh coming in, who

557
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: is basically the CEO. If Kevin Stefanski can come in

558
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: and look and he's shown being an offensive coach, I

559
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: can build a pretty good defense. I could don't worry

560
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: about that. Man, I got the defense. I can bring

561
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: Micha Miles Garrett with me, right, Okay, right, so I

562
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: can build a pretty good defense. But offensively, you saw

563
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: what I've been able to do with different parts and

564
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: different pieces. Right, It's like it's the you know, the

565
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: doctor trying to make Jack Nicholson look good in Batman.

566
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: But the tools that I have to work with, Kevin

567
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: Stefanski makes those all look like surgeons precisions scalpels and

568
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: forcips and clamps and whatever else you want to talk about.

569
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 4: Been watching a lot of the pit lately, so I'm

570
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 4: on for SIPs and clamps. Mirror so yesday with Jerome.

571
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: Now we're back to the mirror.

572
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: So Stefanski to get the most out of Mike Pennick Junior.

573
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: That's what the Falcons have to think.

574
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Okay, who's out there that we're gonna get the most

575
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: out of our quarterback on because we went all on

576
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: them up.

577
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: We screwed up.

578
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: Our roster by signing Cousins and then drafting Michael Pennix.

579
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: We gotta figure this part out. So who's the best

580
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: guy to go? There's other you know, good offensive coordinators

581
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: that that are gonna be get interviews now because you

582
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: know there's eight openings. But Kevin Stefanski is the guy

583
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: and that should be the domino that falls. Stefanski to

584
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: the Falcon should be next now.

585
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: For off Fox sports dot Com odds courtesy of fan Duel,

586
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: Stefanski the leader in the clubhouse at plus two ten.

587
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: He was just ahead of John Harbaugh. Clint Kubiak was

588
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 4: on the metal stand as the third favorite at five

589
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: to one. Then you get in to Brian Flores, Matt

590
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 4: Lafleur sitting there. He still has a job. The Jets couldn't.

591
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: Keep him as an offensive coordinator. Okay, so I mean

592
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: just understand it, but no, no, but he could be

593
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: a head coach.

594
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 4: Wait what the hell? Still not no?

595
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: No no, yeah.

596
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 4: Said Mike. No no, not not no. You said, why

597
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: did you just go by? Mike? I thought you said

598
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: Michael from the major head explode The Jets had to

599
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: fire him. Okay, So yeah, it's Matt push pushed out

600
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: and then heads over to Atlanta. Okay, and then Mike

601
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: mc wait, give me a second, okay, okay, okay, okay,

602
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 4: and then and then Mike McCarthy would be down there,

603
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel, and then the long shot being Mike Tomlin

604
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: that he would immediately jump to another job. But yes, Stefanski,

605
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: it fits. You got to figure out with Michael Pennis Jr.

606
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: You also have to figure out is he gonna be

607
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 4: healthy to start? Like, what's that room look like? Because

608
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: you got to bring in another guy. Kirk Cousins are

609
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: gonna let walk right, they restructured his contract. He'll be

610
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: released and they'll get out from as much of his

611
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: cap hit as they can, and then you're hoping Pannix

612
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 4: is ready to go for week one, right, because that's

613
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 4: big Domino. Kyle Pittch We talked about it a lot

614
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 4: find the podcast from last night in terms of roster structure.

615
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 4: But for Stefanski, Yeah, you've got very few places where

00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 4: twenty to thirty miles up now the windy city, of

746
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 4: course because of the politics and the blowhards of Chicago.

747
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: But yes, there are wind tunnels as you get downtown

750
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,880

753
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: The last several hours video of Chicago tonight looks like

754
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: the last season of True Detective where when Jody Foster

755
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: is in Alaska and everything is covered with snow and

756
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: wind and ice and there's all these naked dead bodies

757
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: out on a lake and everything. I mean, I didn't

758
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: see that part of it, but like that, that's kind

759
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: of what I thought. I mean, I said I didn't

760
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: see that part of it in Chicago tonight, and true

761
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: Detective it was there. But I mean, really, I the Rams,

762
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: they they play all year long to not have to

763
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,479
Speaker 1: play in these games, and I thought they were gonna

764
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: avoid it the way they played early in the season,

765
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: but they closed with such a meh that, now forget

766
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: about going to play in Philadelphia like they had to

767
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: do last year and almost pull it off. This is

768
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: this is even gonna be worse. Like I don't know,

769
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how I picked the Rams to win

770
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: this game.

771
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: That's gonna be. The downfield passing game is compromised. The

772
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 4: thicker kicker has he faced this kind of thing, because

773
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 4: we've watched Cairo Santo's play, you know, golf with this

774
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 4: field goal kicking them right, I gotta go ten yards

775
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 4: this way? Yeah, watch it like it's a long Why

776
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 4: are you aiming that way? Just trust me? Just trust

777
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 4: he's gonna come all the way where he hits it

778
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 4: and watch it go all the way back the last

779
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 4: twenty yards as it gets pulled back over the middle.

780
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

781
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 4: So it's it's shaping up to be a very fun experience.

782
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 4: And I can't wait to be sitting outside and shorts

783
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 4: here in southern California.

784
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just a disastrous Well it's a

785
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievably advantageous weather report for the Bears, but

786
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: it's absolute disaster for the Rent.

787
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean the running game will travel obviously Williams

788
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 4: and Korham, but yeah, they're not made to run the

789
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 4: ball like that. The Bears can run the ball a

790
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 4: lot better. Williams plays, yeah, but still, I mean, he

791
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 4: hasn't gotten that soft. His blood hasn't did that past.

792
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: The rams are made for Hey, when we're bailing out,

793
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: it's it's it's Puka Nakua and it's Davante Adams and

794
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: now good luck making that. I don't care how Matthew

795
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: Staffords could actually have to look where he's throwing the

796
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: ball this week. Yeah, no, might not help the no

797
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: look passes.

798
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: I don't know that I would do Bears defense opportunistic

799
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 4: as we've seen, but they do give up a lot

800
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 4: of points, a lot of yards, a lot of opportunity.

801
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 4: But yes, Stafford working downfield could be uh could be

802
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 4: a problem.

803
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: I really I I I want to pick the rams,

804
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: so I want to stick with the team I said

805
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: was going to the super Bowl. But this is you're

806
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: not just talking about overcoming your foe. You are overcoming

807
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: the weather. That's a huge advantage.

808
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 4: Well, you're also divine intervention between Virginia McCaskey and and

809
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: the current Pope. I mean a lot of stuff going

810
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 4: on there and the old and me. Yeah, and the

811
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 4: old insurmountable force. The Pope didn't help the White Sox

812
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 4: at all. Don't know if you can expect help. No, no, no,

813
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 4: but they've got the number one paint, the White Sox.

814
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 4: But he got a good farm system. It's building, no

815
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 4: got it. He got an owner that's coming in. Yinsdorf

816
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: is opening the door, which means the wall it may

817
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 4: open up. Hope could have done more. They might not

818
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 4: just be the mystery team.

819
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Saying the Pope could have done more to help us,

820
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: and he hasn't. Hey, the Pope has done a lot

821
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: for the Bears.

822
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: No, he had, he's got to do. He's done a

823
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 4: lot for the Bears. Right now, does they sit on

824
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 4: the prepose PRESSU of Greatness?

825
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to Chicago Sunday night, boy, and a clear break

826
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: in the weather temperatures in the balmy sixties.

827
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 4: The Rams have all changed back into short sleeves. Boy.

828
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: We had a beautiful crisp night for you here. Should

829
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: really give the Rams a big advantage.

830
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Mike Harmon is in a church going back through

831
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 4: the bad Lieutenant, Why where were you? Where were you?

832
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,879
