They were 180 00:07:45,108 --> 00:07:46,948 Speaker 7: giving it up, especially in that first half, you saw 181 00:07:46,988 --> 00:07:49,308 Speaker 7: them moving. Now, if it wasn't for the Miskicks, and 182 00:07:49,388 --> 00:07:52,188 Speaker 7: it wasn't for obviously, you know, Kirby Joseph and those 183 00:07:52,228 --> 00:07:55,108 Speaker 7: two interceptions, you know, we're looking at a different situation. 184 00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:58,548 Speaker 7: I'm just saying it's just one to bring concern. Like 185 00:07:58,668 --> 00:08:01,388 Speaker 7: I like the Detroit Lions. I have them going to 186 00:08:01,428 --> 00:08:03,748 Speaker 7: the super Bowl, I have them winning the NFC, but 187 00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:06,628 Speaker 7: there is a real concern and a real feeling that 188 00:08:06,748 --> 00:08:10,388 Speaker 7: I believe that they enter into the playoffs at the 189 00:08:10,468 --> 00:08:13,508 Speaker 7: five seat. I really do think that the Minnesota Vikings 190 00:08:13,508 --> 00:08:15,588 Speaker 7: are going to come into this game next week and 191 00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:17,388 Speaker 7: I think they're going to win this game. And I 192 00:08:17,428 --> 00:08:20,188 Speaker 7: look at what they can put up offensively production wise, 193 00:08:20,228 --> 00:08:22,188 Speaker 7: and then I look at what they're going up against defense. 194 00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:22,988 Speaker 4: That's very hard. 195 00:08:22,988 --> 00:08:25,468 Speaker 7: When you've got starters out there who have only been 196 00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:27,908 Speaker 7: played like a couple of weeks. You're going up against 197 00:08:27,948 --> 00:08:31,508 Speaker 7: an offense who has an offensive tackle from a practice squad, 198 00:08:31,668 --> 00:08:34,028 Speaker 7: and you guys still couldn't dominate in a way in 199 00:08:34,268 --> 00:08:36,348 Speaker 7: that type of way. So I'm just throwing that out there, 200 00:08:36,588 --> 00:08:38,868 Speaker 7: you know, for the Minnesota Viking fans, not hating on 201 00:08:38,908 --> 00:08:41,188 Speaker 7: the Lions because I believe in the lines, but I 202 00:08:41,228 --> 00:08:42,508 Speaker 7: think that they're going to be the five seed. 203 00:08:44,748 --> 00:08:47,588 Speaker 6: Listen, the last night was a demonstration of a lot 204 00:08:47,588 --> 00:08:49,268 Speaker 6: of things that we already know, all right. The Lions 205 00:08:49,268 --> 00:08:51,188 Speaker 6: have defensive issues. We know that they got a lot 206 00:08:51,188 --> 00:08:54,308 Speaker 6: of injuries. The first three possessions for the San Francisco 207 00:08:54,348 --> 00:08:56,988 Speaker 6: team that circling the drain were touchdown, just touchdown, touchdown. 208 00:08:57,028 --> 00:08:58,788 Speaker 6: I was like, oh my god, this is the line. 209 00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:00,308 Speaker 6: I thought the Linons were the best team in the NFL. 210 00:09:00,428 --> 00:09:02,748 Speaker 6: We already know that, we know the offense is spectacular, 211 00:09:02,788 --> 00:09:03,948 Speaker 6: we already know that they put. 212 00:09:03,828 --> 00:09:04,308 Speaker 4: On the show. 213 00:09:04,508 --> 00:09:06,708 Speaker 6: I'm into the point now where this Lions team, whether 214 00:09:06,788 --> 00:09:09,348 Speaker 6: they get the one or they don't. They're gonna have 215 00:09:09,428 --> 00:09:11,348 Speaker 6: to just be perfect through the playoffs. They're gonna have 216 00:09:11,428 --> 00:09:13,428 Speaker 6: this is five times they've had forty points and no 217 00:09:13,508 --> 00:09:15,628 Speaker 6: turnovers this year. It's amazing. I think they're gonna have 218 00:09:15,668 --> 00:09:17,228 Speaker 6: to do it three or four times in the playoffs. 219 00:09:17,268 --> 00:09:20,788 Speaker 6: It reminds me of one of these, like Mike D'Antoni 220 00:09:20,908 --> 00:09:22,948 Speaker 6: basketball teams, like we got to get one hundred and 221 00:09:22,948 --> 00:09:23,468 Speaker 6: thirty points. 222 00:09:23,548 --> 00:09:25,628 Speaker 2: We're not blocking eight shots. We're not gonna ay rebounds. 223 00:09:25,708 --> 00:09:27,948 Speaker 6: We're gonna Mark Stodomyre and Steve Nash and Sean We're 224 00:09:27,948 --> 00:09:29,428 Speaker 6: just gonna go up and down the court. Was it 225 00:09:29,628 --> 00:09:31,828 Speaker 6: ten seconds in shoot or something like that? Oh yeah, 226 00:09:31,908 --> 00:09:34,268 Speaker 6: seven seconds to shoot. The Lions are not going to 227 00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:36,668 Speaker 6: win a playoff game twenty six to twenty like, and 228 00:09:36,708 --> 00:09:38,668 Speaker 6: that's fine, and maybe they'll win the super Bowl. But 229 00:09:38,748 --> 00:09:41,948 Speaker 6: I also think at this point next week kind of 230 00:09:42,108 --> 00:09:43,988 Speaker 6: is their super Bowl. I can't think of a team 231 00:09:44,028 --> 00:09:47,308 Speaker 6: that needs to buy years more than this team needs 232 00:09:47,308 --> 00:09:50,148 Speaker 6: to buy. You're gonna pull this thing off, and you're 233 00:09:50,148 --> 00:09:52,268 Speaker 6: gonna beat this Vikings team that has not lost in 234 00:09:52,308 --> 00:09:53,268 Speaker 6: almost three months. 235 00:09:53,708 --> 00:09:55,268 Speaker 4: You gotta go deep, dude, and. 236 00:09:56,788 --> 00:09:58,268 Speaker 6: You know the guy like he said, as he saying 237 00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:01,028 Speaker 6: that the well is deep, the well, he's got to 238 00:10:01,068 --> 00:10:03,628 Speaker 6: go whoever, whatever that bucket goes through at the bottom 239 00:10:03,628 --> 00:10:08,148 Speaker 6: of the well, bring up Lineman passes double triple reverses. 240 00:10:08,228 --> 00:10:10,108 Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of what's the Remember in the 241 00:10:10,188 --> 00:10:12,948 Speaker 6: ring the girl that crawls out of the well samoraw 242 00:10:13,148 --> 00:10:15,108 Speaker 6: and she's got her hair in front of her and 243 00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:17,628 Speaker 6: she gets up and she's just she's like crawling. 244 00:10:17,308 --> 00:10:18,588 Speaker 2: Out of the well like that. 245 00:10:18,588 --> 00:10:20,908 Speaker 6: That's gotta be Ben Johnson against the Vikings, and you 246 00:10:20,948 --> 00:10:24,748 Speaker 6: gotta just be freaking out coming out of the TV Samaras. 247 00:10:24,868 --> 00:10:27,548 Speaker 6: That's how well the deep goes, because we goes. 248 00:10:28,028 --> 00:10:29,228 Speaker 4: There's Ben Johnson right there. 249 00:10:29,308 --> 00:10:32,308 Speaker 6: What absolutely disgusting, terrifying with the hair in front of 250 00:10:32,308 --> 00:10:34,628 Speaker 6: his face. Ben Johnson, you don't have a defense right now. 251 00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:36,828 Speaker 6: Aaron Glenn is coaching his butt off. It's not working. 252 00:10:37,348 --> 00:10:40,068 Speaker 6: We need every Don't be saving anything for the title game, 253 00:10:40,068 --> 00:10:41,668 Speaker 6: because if you do, I don't know if you're making 254 00:10:41,668 --> 00:10:45,268 Speaker 6: the title Don't be saving squat reinvent new stuff once 255 00:10:45,308 --> 00:10:46,428 Speaker 6: you make the playoffs. 256 00:10:46,668 --> 00:10:48,468 Speaker 2: That is the Samara I think that's her name. 257 00:10:48,508 --> 00:10:49,428 Speaker 4: I hope I'm getting right. 258 00:10:49,828 --> 00:10:52,748 Speaker 6: Offensive coordinator for the lines, probably the most important figure 259 00:10:52,828 --> 00:10:54,588 Speaker 6: in the NFL right now, going to that, and we're 260 00:10:54,588 --> 00:10:55,028 Speaker 6: gonna talk. 261 00:10:54,948 --> 00:10:57,948 Speaker 7: About it all week, show us how deep the well goes. 262 00:10:58,348 --> 00:11:00,188 Speaker 7: She might as well have thrown the Exorcist up there 263 00:11:00,308 --> 00:11:00,588 Speaker 7: or something. 264 00:11:00,668 --> 00:11:00,868 Speaker 4: Right. 265 00:11:00,908 --> 00:11:03,548 Speaker 3: Goodness, the irony is that, like the way Samaraw looks 266 00:11:03,588 --> 00:11:05,308 Speaker 3: at the screen and she doesn't ever hear him for 267 00:11:05,388 --> 00:11:06,788 Speaker 3: her face because she's kind of like looking at you 268 00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:09,508 Speaker 3: with these dead eyes. Like that's how defensive coordinators feel 269 00:11:09,548 --> 00:11:11,708 Speaker 3: after they deal with Tomorrow. So like it has kind 270 00:11:11,708 --> 00:11:12,988 Speaker 3: of a two edged sword here. 271 00:11:13,268 --> 00:11:13,588 Speaker 4: Kyle. 272 00:11:13,868 --> 00:11:15,988 Speaker 3: That was very agile of you to get on the 273 00:11:16,108 --> 00:11:17,668 Speaker 3: desk and climb towards the camera. 274 00:11:17,788 --> 00:11:19,948 Speaker 4: Proud of you, Jamie. Give us some Samorrow. I don't 275 00:11:19,948 --> 00:11:21,548 Speaker 4: have the hair. How do you do it? You put it? 276 00:11:21,908 --> 00:11:23,548 Speaker 6: Should Ben Johnson approach the game? 277 00:11:23,908 --> 00:11:30,548 Speaker 2: They go, yeah, I'm crawling into the Vikings defense. 278 00:11:30,828 --> 00:11:36,188 Speaker 3: Rychol All right, Tom Pellisero, good morning to you. Do 279 00:11:36,228 --> 00:11:39,628 Speaker 3: you have any parallels to make two terrifying films that 280 00:11:39,668 --> 00:11:42,068 Speaker 3: have come out in the last twenty years or do 281 00:11:42,108 --> 00:11:43,948 Speaker 3: you just want to go right to the quarterback position 282 00:11:43,988 --> 00:11:45,308 Speaker 3: and injuries from around the league. 283 00:11:45,708 --> 00:11:47,668 Speaker 11: No, I just think it's fitting that Kyle said that 284 00:11:47,708 --> 00:11:50,388 Speaker 11: Ben Johnson is coaching his butt off. Meanwhile, I think 285 00:11:50,428 --> 00:11:52,588 Speaker 11: I saw Kyle's but he got up on the desk there. 286 00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:54,708 Speaker 11: That sweater was riding up a little high. May not 287 00:11:54,788 --> 00:11:57,068 Speaker 11: want to rewind it. Don't use your TVO. Don't go 288 00:11:57,188 --> 00:11:58,428 Speaker 11: back and look you might. 289 00:11:58,268 --> 00:11:58,548 Speaker 4: Have had it. 290 00:11:58,908 --> 00:12:03,348 Speaker 2: Venmo Tom on Good Morning Football, got the only fans pay. 291 00:12:03,428 --> 00:12:05,948 Speaker 4: You gotta pay for this content. Man, We've all gotta 292 00:12:05,988 --> 00:12:06,668 Speaker 4: do what we gotta do. 293 00:12:06,988 --> 00:12:09,708 Speaker 11: All right, Let's talk about the quarterback of the forty 294 00:12:09,788 --> 00:12:11,708 Speaker 11: nine ers who was not able to finish that game 295 00:12:11,788 --> 00:12:14,988 Speaker 11: last night. Brock Perdy banged up his elbow late in 296 00:12:15,028 --> 00:12:17,548 Speaker 11: the game. You saw him on the sideline, frustrated he 297 00:12:17,588 --> 00:12:21,068 Speaker 11: could not throw the football after getting hit. Kyle Shanahan 298 00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:24,068 Speaker 11: referred to it as a nerve issue. Perdy himself said 299 00:12:24,068 --> 00:12:27,028 Speaker 11: it felt like his elbow was on fire after this hit. 300 00:12:27,428 --> 00:12:29,908 Speaker 11: Purdy also said he got tests on his UCLX he 301 00:12:29,948 --> 00:12:32,428 Speaker 11: had that injury a couple of years ago. All came 302 00:12:32,468 --> 00:12:36,028 Speaker 11: back clear on that. My understanding is this is like 303 00:12:36,148 --> 00:12:39,028 Speaker 11: a funny bone type of a situation where he got 304 00:12:39,068 --> 00:12:41,828 Speaker 11: hit in the exact right spot. He said it felt 305 00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:44,428 Speaker 11: like it was on fire. But this is not something 306 00:12:44,428 --> 00:12:46,388 Speaker 11: that is of high concern. They are going to check 307 00:12:46,428 --> 00:12:48,188 Speaker 11: it out. They are going to run tests, but at 308 00:12:48,228 --> 00:12:51,268 Speaker 11: least the initial exams would indicate this is nothing long 309 00:12:51,348 --> 00:12:53,268 Speaker 11: term for brock Party at a time that, of course, 310 00:12:53,308 --> 00:12:56,308 Speaker 11: the forty nine ers are out of the playoff picture. 311 00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,828 Speaker 4: In other news, Cowboys. 312 00:12:58,308 --> 00:13:01,988 Speaker 11: Coach Mike McCarthy was asked by reporters about his future 313 00:13:02,068 --> 00:13:05,188 Speaker 11: in Dallas on Monday. McCarthy said, partner need to make 314 00:13:05,228 --> 00:13:07,948 Speaker 11: sure I'm doing exactly what I'm asking everybody else to do. 315 00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:10,988 Speaker 11: We need to finish the race so they have time 316 00:13:10,988 --> 00:13:13,548 Speaker 11: to talk about that next week, which also is what 317 00:13:13,868 --> 00:13:17,308 Speaker 11: Jerry and Stephen Jones have said consistently. The unique part 318 00:13:17,308 --> 00:13:19,468 Speaker 11: of this situation, though not too unique to Dallas, is 319 00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:22,068 Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy's contract is up. 320 00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:23,148 Speaker 4: Dallas went down this. 321 00:13:23,148 --> 00:13:26,068 Speaker 11: Path with Jason Garrett on multiple occasions. Back after the 322 00:13:26,108 --> 00:13:28,708 Speaker 11: twenty fourteen season. They gave a new five year contract. 323 00:13:28,748 --> 00:13:31,468 Speaker 11: When that contract ran out, they announced the week after 324 00:13:31,508 --> 00:13:34,468 Speaker 11: the season, we're not going to renew him. Big difference 325 00:13:34,508 --> 00:13:38,188 Speaker 11: between McCarthy and Jason Garrett is when McCarthy becomes a 326 00:13:38,188 --> 00:13:40,508 Speaker 11: free agent, which will happen after the season if. 327 00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,148 Speaker 4: The Cowboys don't immediately do a new deal. 328 00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:45,468 Speaker 11: There is a real possibility that he has interests elsewhere. 329 00:13:45,508 --> 00:13:48,548 Speaker 11: He interviewed with the Jets years ago before they hired 330 00:13:48,588 --> 00:13:51,668 Speaker 11: Adam Gase. He also had a history in the Saints building, 331 00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:54,348 Speaker 11: was an assistant coach there a couple of decades ago. 332 00:13:54,668 --> 00:13:57,348 Speaker 11: Some moving parts in this situation. 333 00:13:57,308 --> 00:13:57,788 Speaker 4: But we do know. 334 00:13:57,828 --> 00:14:00,468 Speaker 11: If Jerry Jones has been effusive in his praise of 335 00:14:00,468 --> 00:14:02,988 Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy and his staff about the job they've done 336 00:14:03,028 --> 00:14:05,988 Speaker 11: amidst a slew of injury, he's being able to at 337 00:14:06,068 --> 00:14:09,188 Speaker 11: least continue to play competence football and stackson wins with 338 00:14:09,188 --> 00:14:12,828 Speaker 11: Cooper Rush at quarterback. Meanwhile, the Jets head coaching search 339 00:14:13,108 --> 00:14:16,828 Speaker 11: is officially kicking off this week. First man up, Good 340 00:14:16,868 --> 00:14:21,508 Speaker 11: Morning Football's own Ron Rivera, who is slated to interview 341 00:14:21,588 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 11: for the head coaching job in the coming days. For 342 00:14:24,628 --> 00:14:27,668 Speaker 11: Vera thirteen seasons between Carolina and Washington, he went to 343 00:14:27,708 --> 00:14:30,228 Speaker 11: the playoffs several times, including a run. 344 00:14:30,068 --> 00:14:31,588 Speaker 4: To Super Bowl fifty. 345 00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:34,308 Speaker 11: He's a real candidate for this position, but this is 346 00:14:34,388 --> 00:14:38,548 Speaker 11: just the first of many interviews for the job. Remember, Jamie, 347 00:14:38,828 --> 00:14:42,908 Speaker 11: current NFL assistant coaches anybody under contract cannot interview until 348 00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:45,268 Speaker 11: after the regular season in the first couple of weeks 349 00:14:45,348 --> 00:14:46,228 Speaker 11: are virtual only. 350 00:14:50,748 --> 00:14:52,068 Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show. 351 00:14:52,428 --> 00:14:55,228 Speaker 5: I'm Peter Scheneger and I'm joined by Tom pellisera one 352 00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,588 Speaker 5: of the top NFL insiders in the game, and when 353 00:14:57,628 --> 00:15:00,708 Speaker 5: it comes to the coaching cycle, there might be nobody 354 00:15:00,748 --> 00:15:03,988 Speaker 5: more plugged in than this guy. In less than seven days, 355 00:15:03,988 --> 00:15:05,908 Speaker 5: we're going to have what we used to call black Monday, 356 00:15:05,948 --> 00:15:09,468 Speaker 5: but really it's a time where teams can start interviewing 357 00:15:09,948 --> 00:15:13,028 Speaker 5: new head coaching candidates. So as you're looking at your 358 00:15:13,068 --> 00:15:15,388 Speaker 5: team and three of those teams have been thinking about 359 00:15:15,388 --> 00:15:18,188 Speaker 5: their new head coaches for basically the last two months, 360 00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:20,108 Speaker 5: we figured we'd have a little segment where we can 361 00:15:20,108 --> 00:15:22,788 Speaker 5: empty our notebooks on what we know right now and Tom. 362 00:15:22,948 --> 00:15:26,268 Speaker 5: After last night's performance from the Detroit Lions, everyone's buzzing 363 00:15:26,348 --> 00:15:29,628 Speaker 5: about Ben Johnson. What are you hearing about Ben Johnson 364 00:15:29,668 --> 00:15:32,628 Speaker 5: who has spurned offers the past two years to. 365 00:15:32,548 --> 00:15:34,148 Speaker 2: Make a leap to being a head coach. 366 00:15:35,868 --> 00:15:37,828 Speaker 11: They kept saying Peter on the broadcast last night. He 367 00:15:37,828 --> 00:15:39,948 Speaker 11: was a hot candidate last year. It really dates back 368 00:15:39,988 --> 00:15:42,508 Speaker 11: two years ago when the Panthers were set to fly 369 00:15:42,668 --> 00:15:45,548 Speaker 11: him into Charlotte and he decided the night before. He 370 00:15:45,668 --> 00:15:48,468 Speaker 11: just felt like he had unfinished business in Detroit. He's 371 00:15:48,508 --> 00:15:50,788 Speaker 11: lolled Dan Campbell. He wanted to be a part of 372 00:15:51,028 --> 00:15:53,148 Speaker 11: going to the playoffs, which he had not done before 373 00:15:53,308 --> 00:15:56,108 Speaker 11: decided the state last year. He would have had strong 374 00:15:56,148 --> 00:15:58,868 Speaker 11: interest from the Washington commanders, but it just got to 375 00:15:58,868 --> 00:16:01,268 Speaker 11: the fort where he didn't feel comfortable with the situation. 376 00:16:01,708 --> 00:16:04,788 Speaker 11: My understanding is Ben Johnson's in a much better place 377 00:16:04,988 --> 00:16:07,348 Speaker 11: in terms of thinking about what he wants in a 378 00:16:07,388 --> 00:16:10,548 Speaker 11: head coaching opportunity. It doesn't have to be the perfect job, 379 00:16:10,588 --> 00:16:13,388 Speaker 11: but he does want a place where he's got alignment 380 00:16:13,508 --> 00:16:16,988 Speaker 11: and the opportunity to build something with sustainable success like 381 00:16:17,028 --> 00:16:20,348 Speaker 11: they have in Detroit. The job that comes up more 382 00:16:20,388 --> 00:16:23,068 Speaker 11: than any other is within the division it is in 383 00:16:23,268 --> 00:16:26,388 Speaker 11: with the Chicago Bears. I am told that Ben Johnson 384 00:16:26,548 --> 00:16:29,748 Speaker 11: is intrigued by that job and when it comes his 385 00:16:29,868 --> 00:16:32,068 Speaker 11: time to interview, which the cadence of that is going 386 00:16:32,108 --> 00:16:33,708 Speaker 11: to depend on whether or not the Lions have the. 387 00:16:33,748 --> 00:16:36,148 Speaker 4: Buy, he is going to listen. 388 00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:39,388 Speaker 11: He got a lot to like in Chicago with Caleb Williams, 389 00:16:39,388 --> 00:16:42,068 Speaker 11: the raw talent there, They got a ton of cap space, 390 00:16:42,108 --> 00:16:45,308 Speaker 11: they got extra draft picks, big market they're hoping to 391 00:16:45,588 --> 00:16:48,028 Speaker 11: break ground on a new stadium in twenty twenty five. 392 00:16:48,188 --> 00:16:50,308 Speaker 11: It's not to say that's the only job that Ben 393 00:16:50,388 --> 00:16:51,628 Speaker 11: Johnson would consider. 394 00:16:51,908 --> 00:16:53,988 Speaker 4: But right now, Peter, if you're asking me, where. 395 00:16:53,748 --> 00:16:58,108 Speaker 11: Does Ben Johnson end up if he takes a job 396 00:16:58,468 --> 00:17:00,948 Speaker 11: right now, I would say your best bet in Chicago. 397 00:17:02,268 --> 00:17:02,468 Speaker 6: Yeah. 398 00:17:02,508 --> 00:17:05,028 Speaker 5: And Tom, just to clarify two years ago that he 399 00:17:05,068 --> 00:17:08,388 Speaker 5: was a unc legend, the Panthers are really interest last year, 400 00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:10,428 Speaker 5: I think you would admit and say that you can 401 00:17:10,468 --> 00:17:13,188 Speaker 5: confirm it was all but done with Washington if he 402 00:17:13,268 --> 00:17:15,148 Speaker 5: wanted it, and then he bailed at the last second, 403 00:17:15,228 --> 00:17:17,188 Speaker 5: and there was this feeling of wait, and they end 404 00:17:17,308 --> 00:17:20,228 Speaker 5: up with Dan Quinn. But Ben Johnson was really highly 405 00:17:20,228 --> 00:17:21,188 Speaker 5: considered by that new. 406 00:17:21,028 --> 00:17:21,908 Speaker 2: Ownership group there. 407 00:17:21,948 --> 00:17:24,388 Speaker 5: Okay, I want to mention a name that a lot 408 00:17:24,428 --> 00:17:26,428 Speaker 5: of fan bases all over the country have been talking 409 00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:29,388 Speaker 5: about since the day he was let go last year, 410 00:17:29,428 --> 00:17:32,508 Speaker 5: and that's Mike Vrabel. Rabel spent the year in Cleveland 411 00:17:32,788 --> 00:17:35,708 Speaker 5: as a consultant. If you if you saw him in 412 00:17:35,748 --> 00:17:38,068 Speaker 5: these logos, it's almost like a not New Jersey that 413 00:17:38,108 --> 00:17:40,108 Speaker 5: we do on this show. We're like, wait, Mike Rabel 414 00:17:40,188 --> 00:17:42,068 Speaker 5: and the Browns, what was that it was real. 415 00:17:42,148 --> 00:17:42,788 Speaker 4: It happened. Well. 416 00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:45,748 Speaker 5: His contract expired this week. He is now able to 417 00:17:45,748 --> 00:17:48,908 Speaker 5: go interview for head coaching jobs, and I'm just here 418 00:17:48,948 --> 00:17:52,148 Speaker 5: to say I think he'll have interest from not only Chicago. 419 00:17:52,468 --> 00:17:54,828 Speaker 2: I think New Orleans will have interest. I think the 420 00:17:55,108 --> 00:17:57,788 Speaker 2: Jets will have interest. But a team that I would. 421 00:17:57,668 --> 00:17:59,468 Speaker 5: Keep an eye on and an owner that I would 422 00:17:59,508 --> 00:18:01,988 Speaker 5: keep an eye on, having not made a decision on 423 00:18:02,028 --> 00:18:04,828 Speaker 5: their current head coach who has won two straight games, 424 00:18:05,148 --> 00:18:07,228 Speaker 5: but Las Vegas makes a lot of sense if they 425 00:18:07,228 --> 00:18:07,828 Speaker 5: were to move. 426 00:18:07,708 --> 00:18:10,228 Speaker 2: On from Antonio Pierce. Of course, Tom. 427 00:18:09,988 --> 00:18:13,428 Speaker 5: Brady is a new minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. 428 00:18:13,788 --> 00:18:16,868 Speaker 5: Rabel has a very good, very good relationship with Brady, 429 00:18:17,388 --> 00:18:20,788 Speaker 5: and Vrabel is a possibility for that gig as they 430 00:18:20,868 --> 00:18:23,668 Speaker 5: start a new chapter if they opt to move on 431 00:18:24,188 --> 00:18:28,828 Speaker 5: from one Antonio Piers. Tom any insight on Vrabel and 432 00:18:28,868 --> 00:18:32,108 Speaker 5: where he might be considering his next landing spot. 433 00:18:32,828 --> 00:18:35,348 Speaker 11: I would say this peer, every team that has a 434 00:18:35,428 --> 00:18:38,428 Speaker 11: vacancy or is thinking they might have a vacancy is 435 00:18:38,508 --> 00:18:41,428 Speaker 11: doing homework on Mike Brables, because the big question when 436 00:18:41,428 --> 00:18:43,428 Speaker 11: you look at his track record, He's been the coach 437 00:18:43,468 --> 00:18:45,548 Speaker 11: of the Year in the NFL. He went to the 438 00:18:45,548 --> 00:18:49,428 Speaker 11: playoffs three times in six seasons in Tennessee. It's why 439 00:18:49,468 --> 00:18:52,308 Speaker 11: did the Titans end up moving on from them? Why 440 00:18:52,388 --> 00:18:54,388 Speaker 11: was he out last year and didn't draw more interest. 441 00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:57,668 Speaker 11: There's a lot of different dynamics there. Obviously, Mike Brabel 442 00:18:57,748 --> 00:19:00,148 Speaker 11: is a very strong personality in the building. 443 00:19:00,228 --> 00:19:02,868 Speaker 4: He's also one of the smartest guys. Knows the rule 444 00:19:02,868 --> 00:19:03,948 Speaker 4: book better than anyone. 445 00:19:04,628 --> 00:19:08,028 Speaker 11: To find the inefficiencies that he might be able to exploit, 446 00:19:08,308 --> 00:19:10,228 Speaker 11: you just have to know, and there has to be 447 00:19:10,268 --> 00:19:14,428 Speaker 11: that synergy between ownership, the front office and the head coach. 448 00:19:14,508 --> 00:19:17,148 Speaker 11: That obviously became an issue in Tennessee where they felt 449 00:19:17,148 --> 00:19:20,508 Speaker 11: like they wanted a more collaborative type of situation Peter. 450 00:19:20,908 --> 00:19:23,428 Speaker 11: They decided to move on out last year. You saw 451 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:25,828 Speaker 11: in the footage there too, he's working directly with the 452 00:19:25,828 --> 00:19:28,908 Speaker 11: offensive line. That's kind of how things developed in Cleveland. 453 00:19:28,908 --> 00:19:30,748 Speaker 11: He started out with the tight ends in camp, then 454 00:19:30,868 --> 00:19:33,948 Speaker 11: was working hands on on the sideline with the offensive line. 455 00:19:33,948 --> 00:19:36,468 Speaker 11: A very different type of situation. But everything I heard 456 00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:38,708 Speaker 11: in Cleveland was they liked the energy that he brought 457 00:19:38,708 --> 00:19:39,148 Speaker 11: to the table. 458 00:19:39,188 --> 00:19:41,748 Speaker 4: They thought that he was a value at the. 459 00:19:41,868 --> 00:19:46,588 Speaker 2: Mike Verbel Brown's era who knew. Okay, it happened real quick. 460 00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:48,828 Speaker 5: Give me a surprise name that we might hear in 461 00:19:48,828 --> 00:19:51,548 Speaker 5: the next few weeks that really hasn't been batting around 462 00:19:51,588 --> 00:19:52,948 Speaker 5: online over the last few months. 463 00:19:54,868 --> 00:19:57,788 Speaker 11: I will give you one, Peter, keep an eye on 464 00:19:58,028 --> 00:20:00,668 Speaker 11: John Grout. We have not seen group on a full 465 00:20:00,748 --> 00:20:03,308 Speaker 11: time basis in the NFL since. 466 00:20:03,108 --> 00:20:04,988 Speaker 4: Back in twenty twenty one, when he. 467 00:20:04,908 --> 00:20:08,508 Speaker 11: Resigned after offensive emails were leaked to the media that 468 00:20:08,548 --> 00:20:12,548 Speaker 11: he had sent while working as an analyst at ESPN. However, 469 00:20:12,788 --> 00:20:15,708 Speaker 11: he has remained engaged. We saw him on the sideline 470 00:20:15,708 --> 00:20:18,268 Speaker 11: with the Bucks owners earlier this fall. We saw him 471 00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:20,908 Speaker 11: working with the Saints back in training camp last year. 472 00:20:20,948 --> 00:20:24,028 Speaker 11: My understanding is if he had wanted the Saints offensive 473 00:20:24,108 --> 00:20:27,468 Speaker 11: coordinator job last year, he could have had it. He 474 00:20:27,548 --> 00:20:30,228 Speaker 11: ultimately decided he was not going to do that. And 475 00:20:30,308 --> 00:20:31,948 Speaker 11: I can tell you, though, Peter, it's not the same 476 00:20:32,068 --> 00:20:34,148 Speaker 11: for sure that John Gruden will be back, But there 477 00:20:34,148 --> 00:20:37,268 Speaker 11: are multiple teams that have been doing extensive homework on 478 00:20:37,468 --> 00:20:40,388 Speaker 11: John Gruden, the situation, him as a coach, him as 479 00:20:40,428 --> 00:20:43,588 Speaker 11: a person. I would not be surprised at all if 480 00:20:43,588 --> 00:20:46,028 Speaker 11: in the coming weeks you see John Gruden's name popping 481 00:20:46,108 --> 00:20:47,708 Speaker 11: up interviewing for a head coaching job. 482 00:20:49,068 --> 00:20:51,948 Speaker 5: He goes from hanging out with Mincy and Stephen Chay 483 00:20:52,108 --> 00:20:55,148 Speaker 5: and Big Cat to coaching a team in very quick order. 484 00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:58,548 Speaker 5: That'd be awesome, real quick for me. Brian Florenes is 485 00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,068 Speaker 5: the name I'm watching. Obviously, you know the job he's 486 00:21:01,108 --> 00:21:04,188 Speaker 5: doing as a defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings. The 487 00:21:04,188 --> 00:21:06,268 Speaker 5: guy who's got head coaching experience. He has spent the 488 00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:09,708 Speaker 5: two of the years in Minnesota and all business. And 489 00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:11,188 Speaker 5: you talk about this leader of men and stuff that 490 00:21:11,188 --> 00:21:13,468 Speaker 5: everyone want to talk about. This is your guy also, 491 00:21:13,548 --> 00:21:17,388 Speaker 5: and uh, obviously there's a wave towards offensive coaches, but 492 00:21:17,508 --> 00:21:20,148 Speaker 5: Brian flores will get interviews for jobs. He got interview 493 00:21:20,188 --> 00:21:22,548 Speaker 5: jobs the last two years. I would keep an eye 494 00:21:22,548 --> 00:21:24,668 Speaker 5: on him for a team that is looking to bring 495 00:21:24,748 --> 00:21:26,868 Speaker 5: in discipline and also someone who might be a little 496 00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:28,228 Speaker 5: bit different than the last time he was a head 497 00:21:28,228 --> 00:21:30,228 Speaker 5: coach and has learned some things since he was a 498 00:21:30,228 --> 00:21:31,468 Speaker 5: head coach in Miami. 499 00:21:31,548 --> 00:21:33,508 Speaker 2: All right, Tom, I'll see you on Monday. 500 00:21:33,588 --> 00:21:35,908 Speaker 5: We're gonna do this all week long next week and 501 00:21:35,988 --> 00:21:39,228 Speaker 5: of course throughout the month of January.
