The players, the prospects are going to 27 00:01:37,428 --> 00:01:39,628 Speaker 1: be speaking today, but also we have several head coaches 28 00:01:39,668 --> 00:01:42,068 Speaker 1: and general managers still speaking. But it's been a whirlwind 29 00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:44,268 Speaker 1: of news since we last spoke. Well, let's spin it 30 00:01:44,348 --> 00:01:46,988 Speaker 1: forward today. Tom I'm looking at the schedule here one 31 00:01:46,988 --> 00:01:49,748 Speaker 1: o'clock PM. Eric da Costa, the Ravens GM is going 32 00:01:49,748 --> 00:01:51,748 Speaker 1: to address the media your thoughts as we set the 33 00:01:51,788 --> 00:01:53,828 Speaker 1: table for what the days ahead. We haven't really heard 34 00:01:53,868 --> 00:01:56,668 Speaker 1: a whole lot from the Ravens brain trust since that 35 00:01:56,828 --> 00:01:59,788 Speaker 1: postseason press conference where John Harbot said there's a two 36 00:01:59,868 --> 00:02:02,508 Speaker 1: hundred percent chance Lamar Jackson's going to be the quarterback. 37 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:06,548 Speaker 1: Eric da Costa, while certainly also spoke optimistically about getting 38 00:02:06,548 --> 00:02:09,028 Speaker 1: a deal done. Yet here we are it's March first, 39 00:02:09,188 --> 00:02:11,068 Speaker 1: we are less than a week away from the franchise 40 00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:13,388 Speaker 1: tag deadline. There are no signs that they are close 41 00:02:13,428 --> 00:02:15,788 Speaker 1: to a long term deal with Lamar Jackson, which brings 42 00:02:15,788 --> 00:02:17,588 Speaker 1: them to focus something that we were talking about back 43 00:02:17,588 --> 00:02:19,588 Speaker 1: on Super Bowl Sunday, which is, if they can't get 44 00:02:19,628 --> 00:02:22,108 Speaker 1: a deal done, their plan is to tag Lamar Jackson. 45 00:02:22,188 --> 00:02:24,348 Speaker 1: We don't yet know. Will that be the exclusive tag 46 00:02:24,388 --> 00:02:26,388 Speaker 1: where no one else can talk to them and potentially 47 00:02:26,388 --> 00:02:28,148 Speaker 1: they could take trade offers on them, or is it 48 00:02:28,188 --> 00:02:30,748 Speaker 1: the non exclusive tag where they're basically daring somebody else, Hey, 49 00:02:30,748 --> 00:02:32,628 Speaker 1: come do the deal that we can't and then maybe 50 00:02:32,628 --> 00:02:34,028 Speaker 1: we match it, or else we take a couple of 51 00:02:34,028 --> 00:02:36,348 Speaker 1: first round picks. So we'll see exactly how to Costa 52 00:02:36,388 --> 00:02:39,388 Speaker 1: paints the picture where things stand right now with Lamar Jackson. 53 00:02:39,508 --> 00:02:42,588 Speaker 1: There is a scenario in which Lamar Jackson could end 54 00:02:42,668 --> 00:02:45,108 Speaker 1: up being traded for a windfall of draft picks. Here, 55 00:02:45,188 --> 00:02:46,868 Speaker 1: these are all decisions they're going to have to make. 56 00:02:46,908 --> 00:02:48,388 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, in just a few days, 57 00:02:48,428 --> 00:02:50,268 Speaker 1: we're going to see some of those quarterbacks to clear 58 00:02:50,308 --> 00:02:52,508 Speaker 1: a guy and Anthony Richardson, who plenty of people have 59 00:02:52,628 --> 00:02:55,828 Speaker 1: linked as a possibility for Baltimore style of all. Absolutely, 60 00:02:55,988 --> 00:02:58,268 Speaker 1: we see Frank Reich is going to speak today. John 61 00:02:58,308 --> 00:03:00,788 Speaker 1: Harbaugh is going to speak today. Well, have several guests 62 00:03:00,788 --> 00:03:04,388 Speaker 1: on this show. Yesterday, Joe Shane spoke to the media 63 00:03:04,388 --> 00:03:06,188 Speaker 1: the genermager of the New York Giants. As we know 64 00:03:06,268 --> 00:03:09,508 Speaker 1: the backstory of it, Daniel Jones left his first agency, 65 00:03:09,588 --> 00:03:11,908 Speaker 1: came to another agency. There's a number that's been thrown 66 00:03:11,908 --> 00:03:14,188 Speaker 1: around that is very high. Joe Shane addressed the media 67 00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:16,268 Speaker 1: ear takeaway from his talks. I think that it kind 68 00:03:16,268 --> 00:03:18,708 Speaker 1: of reflects what we've been discussing, which is that the 69 00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:21,348 Speaker 1: Giants in an ideal world would not use the franchise 70 00:03:21,428 --> 00:03:23,548 Speaker 1: tag on anyone. You only get one. You can't tag 71 00:03:23,588 --> 00:03:25,668 Speaker 1: two different guys. And so if they don't work out 72 00:03:25,668 --> 00:03:28,068 Speaker 1: a long term view with Daniel Jones or sae Quon Barkley, 73 00:03:28,068 --> 00:03:29,708 Speaker 1: they're going to have a decision to make. Here's what 74 00:03:29,788 --> 00:03:33,508 Speaker 1: Joe Shane had to say about that yesterday. If then scenarios, 75 00:03:33,988 --> 00:03:35,868 Speaker 1: we're going through those. So if it gets out of 76 00:03:35,908 --> 00:03:37,948 Speaker 1: hand and it's it's it's out of our comfort zone. 77 00:03:38,148 --> 00:03:39,588 Speaker 1: You know, we have the tag we have we called 78 00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:41,828 Speaker 1: the to tag one player. We'll use that and if 79 00:03:41,828 --> 00:03:45,108 Speaker 1: somebody's got to walk, then you know, it's it's unfortunate, 80 00:03:45,148 --> 00:03:46,828 Speaker 1: but that's a part of the business and we're still 81 00:03:46,828 --> 00:03:49,188 Speaker 1: building a team, and you know that's important to keep 82 00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:51,028 Speaker 1: in mind. I would love to have them both back. Yeah, 83 00:03:51,068 --> 00:03:52,988 Speaker 1: I think they work well with each other their entire 84 00:03:53,028 --> 00:03:55,108 Speaker 1: careers in the NFL, they've been together. I do think 85 00:03:55,148 --> 00:03:57,348 Speaker 1: they again they complimenting it Joe well and where we're 86 00:03:57,348 --> 00:03:59,748 Speaker 1: trying to We've had again productive conversations with both the 87 00:03:59,788 --> 00:04:02,428 Speaker 1: representatives and you know again that the goal is to 88 00:04:02,428 --> 00:04:06,868 Speaker 1: hopefully get something done. So remember they've spoken all along 89 00:04:06,908 --> 00:04:08,908 Speaker 1: about these two guys being core parts of the future. 90 00:04:08,988 --> 00:04:10,268 Speaker 1: So it is a little bit jarry when you hear 91 00:04:10,348 --> 00:04:12,348 Speaker 1: Joshian saying, hey, if somebody has to walk, they have 92 00:04:12,428 --> 00:04:15,308 Speaker 1: to walk. But that's the reality of the situation right now. 93 00:04:15,628 --> 00:04:17,908 Speaker 1: What does Daniel Jones want to do depending where the 94 00:04:17,988 --> 00:04:20,628 Speaker 1: numbers go at some point, does he take the best offered? 95 00:04:20,668 --> 00:04:22,548 Speaker 1: Does he say, Hey, my downside here is you're going 96 00:04:22,588 --> 00:04:24,708 Speaker 1: to tag me over the other guy. So thirty two 97 00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:27,308 Speaker 1: million dollars for one season and then I'm up for 98 00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:29,748 Speaker 1: free agency or a second tag next year. That's a 99 00:04:29,788 --> 00:04:32,708 Speaker 1: process that Dak Prescott went through with the same agency 100 00:04:32,748 --> 00:04:35,468 Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones just hired and then ended up signing 101 00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:38,348 Speaker 1: it the second year after playing out on one tag. 102 00:04:38,388 --> 00:04:41,028 Speaker 1: It's a fascinating type of discussion. And also remember if 103 00:04:41,028 --> 00:04:43,348 Speaker 1: they get the Daniel Jones deal done, the sae Quon tag, 104 00:04:43,388 --> 00:04:45,388 Speaker 1: the running back tag is only about ten million dollars. 105 00:04:45,468 --> 00:04:47,828 Speaker 1: It's much more palatable. But again, you've only got one 106 00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:49,188 Speaker 1: of them. They're going to figure it out. We've got 107 00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 1: to pick one of the two or neither at all. 108 00:04:51,188 --> 00:04:53,468 Speaker 1: We go back to New York, where I know Giants 109 00:04:53,468 --> 00:04:56,308 Speaker 1: and Jets talk is in all of the headlines and 110 00:04:56,388 --> 00:04:58,748 Speaker 1: all over the newspapers. Jamie Art All take it away 111 00:04:58,748 --> 00:05:01,388 Speaker 1: with the boys on the Daniel Jones sa Quan situation 112 00:05:01,428 --> 00:05:03,548 Speaker 1: in New York. A Peter, it does feel like you 113 00:05:03,668 --> 00:05:06,508 Speaker 1: still have your strings back here because somehow yesterday we 114 00:05:06,588 --> 00:05:09,548 Speaker 1: led with Jets quarterback talk and now we're doing Giants talk. 115 00:05:09,628 --> 00:05:11,388 Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing. I know you're an indie, 116 00:05:11,428 --> 00:05:13,948 Speaker 1: but we know you have some pull leading the conversation 117 00:05:14,028 --> 00:05:15,668 Speaker 1: down this path. Of course, it's an easy one to 118 00:05:15,708 --> 00:05:18,268 Speaker 1: go down after hearing Joe Shane speak yesterday. Of course, 119 00:05:18,348 --> 00:05:20,908 Speaker 1: Joe Shane hired as the GM of the Giants fourteen 120 00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:23,348 Speaker 1: months ago. So hearing him say, oh, I'd love to 121 00:05:23,388 --> 00:05:25,068 Speaker 1: have both of those guys back, it'd be weirder to 122 00:05:25,108 --> 00:05:26,748 Speaker 1: hear him say the opposite. So I think it's a 123 00:05:26,868 --> 00:05:30,308 Speaker 1: natural thing to say at this juncture, but it's kind 124 00:05:30,348 --> 00:05:33,068 Speaker 1: of a more challenging reality than that. So how did 125 00:05:33,108 --> 00:05:36,548 Speaker 1: the Giants go from here? And is it the best 126 00:05:36,548 --> 00:05:38,668 Speaker 1: bet for them to bring both of these guys back? 127 00:05:38,788 --> 00:05:41,308 Speaker 1: The best bet can be defined so many different ways, 128 00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:43,188 Speaker 1: and I look at this and I say, yes, it 129 00:05:43,228 --> 00:05:45,068 Speaker 1: would be very good for the New York Giants to 130 00:05:45,148 --> 00:05:47,588 Speaker 1: have both of these guys back on the roster. When 131 00:05:47,628 --> 00:05:50,348 Speaker 1: you look at Daniel Jones all last offseason, all we 132 00:05:50,468 --> 00:05:52,588 Speaker 1: talked about was is he the guy or not? And 133 00:05:52,628 --> 00:05:54,988 Speaker 1: we criticize and we look back at his career and 134 00:05:55,068 --> 00:05:57,788 Speaker 1: we talked about, hey, he's had so many different coaches 135 00:05:57,788 --> 00:06:00,468 Speaker 1: in his young career. And the Brian Davil comes in 136 00:06:00,788 --> 00:06:04,788 Speaker 1: and stabilizes Daniel Jones, and this guy takes off career 137 00:06:04,868 --> 00:06:09,228 Speaker 1: highs across the board and passing and rushing touchdowns, all 138 00:06:09,228 --> 00:06:11,348 Speaker 1: of those things. Every statu you can look at, all 139 00:06:11,348 --> 00:06:14,788 Speaker 1: the way to completion percentage, Daniel Jones rolls up the 140 00:06:14,828 --> 00:06:16,908 Speaker 1: board and when you look at that two of his 141 00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:19,668 Speaker 1: best receivers out there was Isaiah Hodges, who comes over 142 00:06:19,668 --> 00:06:22,108 Speaker 1: from the practice squad from the Buffalo Bills, and then 143 00:06:22,228 --> 00:06:25,108 Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, a receiver who's the Giants drafted but was 144 00:06:25,188 --> 00:06:27,268 Speaker 1: kind of written off in the beginning of the season. 145 00:06:27,508 --> 00:06:30,268 Speaker 1: So Vanilla Vic did this without a ton of weapons 146 00:06:30,268 --> 00:06:32,788 Speaker 1: around him and figured out a way to get it done. 147 00:06:32,828 --> 00:06:35,388 Speaker 1: And that's in year one with Dable. So to me, 148 00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:37,748 Speaker 1: the amount of growth that he can make of still 149 00:06:37,828 --> 00:06:40,828 Speaker 1: having him there being with these coaching staff with another year, 150 00:06:40,908 --> 00:06:43,228 Speaker 1: I think it's huge, and it's a big upside opposed 151 00:06:43,228 --> 00:06:45,148 Speaker 1: to bring in a new guy in trying to teach 152 00:06:45,228 --> 00:06:47,228 Speaker 1: him the system and the same goals for say Kuan. Now, 153 00:06:47,228 --> 00:06:49,468 Speaker 1: I know, the running back position is very different. I mean, 154 00:06:49,468 --> 00:06:51,988 Speaker 1: you look at Isaiah Pacheco and him coming in and 155 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:54,468 Speaker 1: taking off as a seventh round draft pick for the Chiefs. 156 00:06:54,628 --> 00:06:57,348 Speaker 1: But the difference is in New York the offense revolved 157 00:06:57,388 --> 00:06:59,748 Speaker 1: a lot around say Quan and everybody kind of ate 158 00:06:59,788 --> 00:07:01,708 Speaker 1: off of him. Where for a guy like Pacheco, when 159 00:07:01,708 --> 00:07:03,988 Speaker 1: you have Mahomes in there, that's a little bit different. Yeah, 160 00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:06,788 Speaker 1: we got the question last night around is this the 161 00:07:06,828 --> 00:07:09,788 Speaker 1: best option? Well, it's not the best option because he 162 00:07:09,788 --> 00:07:12,628 Speaker 1: hasn't been the best quarterback, right, and Saquan has not 163 00:07:12,668 --> 00:07:14,628 Speaker 1: been the best running back because he's been hurt, you know, 164 00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:16,588 Speaker 1: and he's been out a bunch twenty one games. I 165 00:07:16,588 --> 00:07:19,268 Speaker 1: think he's missed so far in his career. So it's 166 00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:21,388 Speaker 1: not your best option. Is what you have at your 167 00:07:21,388 --> 00:07:23,868 Speaker 1: feet right now, and it's one where that has a 168 00:07:23,868 --> 00:07:26,508 Speaker 1: lot of success. Right. The team got to the playoffs 169 00:07:26,508 --> 00:07:29,108 Speaker 1: this year. They won a playoff game on the road, right, 170 00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:32,188 Speaker 1: So there's success in this. They just don't want to 171 00:07:32,188 --> 00:07:34,868 Speaker 1: pay through the nose. And I also like the idea of, hey, 172 00:07:34,988 --> 00:07:37,308 Speaker 1: maybe if we end up having to franchise tag him 173 00:07:37,508 --> 00:07:39,748 Speaker 1: and kind of prove that he can do this again 174 00:07:39,788 --> 00:07:41,868 Speaker 1: in Brian Dable's offense, maybe it's one of those things 175 00:07:41,908 --> 00:07:44,748 Speaker 1: where you know, second year defensive coordinators have a better 176 00:07:44,788 --> 00:07:47,428 Speaker 1: idea what to do against him. They present problems that 177 00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:49,628 Speaker 1: he's not the guy, and they can go look somewhere else. 178 00:07:49,628 --> 00:07:51,788 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't mind a franchise tag here if sae 179 00:07:51,868 --> 00:07:54,428 Speaker 1: Quon goes. We talked about this running backs in the 180 00:07:54,428 --> 00:07:57,508 Speaker 1: New iteration of the NFL. The modern NFL, you can 181 00:07:57,588 --> 00:07:59,908 Speaker 1: find running backs in a lot of different places. You 182 00:07:59,948 --> 00:08:02,548 Speaker 1: look back at Super Bowl champions over the last decade 183 00:08:02,628 --> 00:08:05,828 Speaker 1: or so, they don't have a Bell cow back. It 184 00:08:05,988 --> 00:08:08,628 Speaker 1: hasn't existed. There's been running back by committee. Is what 185 00:08:08,628 --> 00:08:11,668 Speaker 1: won you championships. Your time in New England, you understand 186 00:08:11,708 --> 00:08:13,628 Speaker 1: that specifically you had a bunch of running backs that 187 00:08:13,628 --> 00:08:16,268 Speaker 1: were really good and complimentary to one another. Yeah, definitely, 188 00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:19,388 Speaker 1: and those running backs all played a role in an offense. 189 00:08:19,468 --> 00:08:21,348 Speaker 1: But I think the difference in New York is this 190 00:08:21,428 --> 00:08:24,028 Speaker 1: is the best option because sae Quon Barkley doesn't play 191 00:08:24,068 --> 00:08:27,068 Speaker 1: a role. He is the star there and Daniel Jones 192 00:08:27,148 --> 00:08:29,188 Speaker 1: is a star. And we're talking about the New York 193 00:08:29,388 --> 00:08:33,308 Speaker 1: Football Giants. This is where legends are made. Yesterday, Eli 194 00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:35,788 Speaker 1: Manning's on the show. We have Sean O'Hara on the 195 00:08:35,828 --> 00:08:38,788 Speaker 1: show yesterday and just conversations I talked about Justin Tuck 196 00:08:38,828 --> 00:08:41,788 Speaker 1: and Michael Strahan, like this is what the New York 197 00:08:41,828 --> 00:08:43,988 Speaker 1: Giants football is made of. So we look at the 198 00:08:44,068 --> 00:08:47,348 Speaker 1: records over the last few years. This year twenty twenty 199 00:08:47,348 --> 00:08:50,508 Speaker 1: two they go nine and seven and twenty one, four 200 00:08:50,548 --> 00:08:54,988 Speaker 1: and three, twenty six, and ten thirteen, four thirteen, Like, 201 00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:58,108 Speaker 1: we look at these records. No one wants that in 202 00:08:58,148 --> 00:09:00,828 Speaker 1: New York. They want a team that wins. So you 203 00:09:00,948 --> 00:09:02,948 Speaker 1: bring the Brian day ball. People are like, you know, 204 00:09:03,068 --> 00:09:06,308 Speaker 1: let's give him some time. He'll figure out right away. 205 00:09:06,348 --> 00:09:08,308 Speaker 1: You just said it, Ryan, we go to the playoffs, 206 00:09:08,628 --> 00:09:11,148 Speaker 1: we win a playoff game. So now, if I'm a 207 00:09:11,188 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 1: New York Giants fan, I'm excited. This team is ready 208 00:09:14,628 --> 00:09:17,268 Speaker 1: to go. So even maybe there's a chance that's not 209 00:09:17,308 --> 00:09:20,548 Speaker 1: your best option per se, but what's your next option? 210 00:09:20,628 --> 00:09:23,068 Speaker 1: Do we want to be stuck here and saying like, 211 00:09:23,108 --> 00:09:25,388 Speaker 1: oh man, we gotta hope this guy pans out. We 212 00:09:25,508 --> 00:09:27,988 Speaker 1: got to see how it goes. The Giants are tired 213 00:09:27,988 --> 00:09:30,508 Speaker 1: of wait till next year. Man, I'm telling you, in 214 00:09:30,508 --> 00:09:33,068 Speaker 1: two years we'll be fine. They want to see wins. 215 00:09:33,148 --> 00:09:35,388 Speaker 1: They want to see wins now. And that's what happens 216 00:09:35,428 --> 00:09:37,788 Speaker 1: when you're in New York. Joe Shane's job is the 217 00:09:37,828 --> 00:09:41,348 Speaker 1: business of the Giant, since putting all the money together 218 00:09:41,388 --> 00:09:43,828 Speaker 1: and the players and crafting the best rosters the best team. 219 00:09:43,828 --> 00:09:46,988 Speaker 1: Brian Dable's job is best football, best product on the field. 220 00:09:47,148 --> 00:09:49,388 Speaker 1: I'm curious in Brian Dables first year as a head 221 00:09:49,388 --> 00:09:51,828 Speaker 1: coach in New York, he did some gutsy things, let's 222 00:09:51,868 --> 00:09:54,228 Speaker 1: say early at Tennessee, some of those like two point 223 00:09:54,268 --> 00:09:56,188 Speaker 1: conversions he was going for. You're like, man, this guy. 224 00:09:56,228 --> 00:09:58,468 Speaker 1: I almost think that Dabele arrived and said this is 225 00:09:58,468 --> 00:09:59,828 Speaker 1: how I want to coach. This is the kind of 226 00:09:59,828 --> 00:10:01,428 Speaker 1: team that I'm going to have, and then they kind 227 00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:04,108 Speaker 1: of stumbled into some wins. Maybe even he wasn't expecting 228 00:10:04,148 --> 00:10:06,508 Speaker 1: with the guys that he had, He's like, well, dang, 229 00:10:06,508 --> 00:10:09,028 Speaker 1: maybe I can do I'm really curious what Brian Dabele 230 00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,508 Speaker 1: wants to do with this offense. Are these his two 231 00:10:11,548 --> 00:10:14,228 Speaker 1: best options for his vision for this team? Because Joe 232 00:10:14,268 --> 00:10:16,068 Speaker 1: Shane is going to say things like this. He's gonna 233 00:10:16,068 --> 00:10:17,548 Speaker 1: say I want them back, of course, but it would 234 00:10:17,588 --> 00:10:19,508 Speaker 1: be the headline if he said I didn't want them 235 00:10:19,508 --> 00:10:21,468 Speaker 1: back yesterday. I always trying to think of the reverse. 236 00:10:21,548 --> 00:10:23,788 Speaker 1: But what does Dabele want? Where is the direction that 237 00:10:23,908 --> 00:10:26,548 Speaker 1: dabel is taking this team? Is this the identity or 238 00:10:26,668 --> 00:10:28,668 Speaker 1: is it no? I need more wide outs. I'm gonna 239 00:10:28,708 --> 00:10:30,828 Speaker 1: go running back by committee. I'm gonna where is the 240 00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:32,868 Speaker 1: money going to be invested from Dabele's perspective. That's what 241 00:10:32,908 --> 00:10:34,588 Speaker 1: I'm most curious and I think too, when you talk 242 00:10:34,628 --> 00:10:37,548 Speaker 1: about best options, Daniel Jones hasn't been the best, but 243 00:10:37,628 --> 00:10:40,108 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, what's available? Derek car is available. 244 00:10:40,148 --> 00:10:42,148 Speaker 1: Do we think if we bring Derek Carran is at 245 00:10:42,148 --> 00:10:45,828 Speaker 1: an instant upgrade over Daniel Jones. Sa Quon Barkley? All right, 246 00:10:45,988 --> 00:10:48,428 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs is a free agent as well, but he's 247 00:10:48,428 --> 00:10:50,708 Speaker 1: probably going to costs more than a sa Quon Barkley. 248 00:10:50,708 --> 00:10:52,708 Speaker 1: So I think when we say best to your point 249 00:10:52,948 --> 00:10:55,148 Speaker 1: by committee, you can go out and get some other 250 00:10:55,148 --> 00:10:57,548 Speaker 1: guys at Kareem Hunts a free agent and Dante Foreman's 251 00:10:57,548 --> 00:10:59,708 Speaker 1: a free agent, so you can find ways to mix it. 252 00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:03,108 Speaker 1: A one hundred percent more receivers in there as weapons 253 00:11:03,148 --> 00:11:05,708 Speaker 1: around him, but best options to me, if I'm the Giants, 254 00:11:05,908 --> 00:11:08,148 Speaker 1: build off of what you were able to do last year. Peter, 255 00:11:08,228 --> 00:11:11,148 Speaker 1: you mentioned that Daniel Jones changed agencies, and now the 256 00:11:11,268 --> 00:11:14,268 Speaker 1: number that people are hearing that he requires matches up 257 00:11:14,268 --> 00:11:16,868 Speaker 1: with probably the market for quarterbacks right now. How do 258 00:11:16,908 --> 00:11:19,028 Speaker 1: you think the Giants should proceed here? Number that was 259 00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:21,268 Speaker 1: thrown out early was forty five million, which would blow 260 00:11:21,268 --> 00:11:23,428 Speaker 1: out the market for quarterbacks, and I think a lot 261 00:11:23,468 --> 00:11:25,028 Speaker 1: of giants hands rolled their eyes and said, if he 262 00:11:25,068 --> 00:11:26,988 Speaker 1: wants forty five million dollars, go find it, Like I 263 00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:28,588 Speaker 1: don't know where you're gonna find it. And I think 264 00:11:28,588 --> 00:11:31,268 Speaker 1: that when you change your agency at this point, six 265 00:11:31,348 --> 00:11:33,748 Speaker 1: days from free agency, it tells you that maybe he 266 00:11:33,828 --> 00:11:35,948 Speaker 1: wasn't thrilled. Now what Tom mentioned, which was really interesting, 267 00:11:35,988 --> 00:11:38,668 Speaker 1: said he's hired the same group that represented Dak Prescott 268 00:11:38,748 --> 00:11:42,268 Speaker 1: through his recent contract negotiations. Dak Prescott, of course was 269 00:11:42,308 --> 00:11:44,668 Speaker 1: franchise tag for one year and then did sign that 270 00:11:44,708 --> 00:11:47,988 Speaker 1: massive extension with the Dallas Cowboys. In a way, maybe 271 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:49,908 Speaker 1: this is one of those deals where Daniel Jones says, 272 00:11:49,948 --> 00:11:52,148 Speaker 1: I'll take the franchise tag the average of the top 273 00:11:52,228 --> 00:11:55,268 Speaker 1: five salaries, there's be something around thirty three million, maybe 274 00:11:55,268 --> 00:11:56,748 Speaker 1: a little bit higher. When it all comes out in 275 00:11:56,748 --> 00:11:58,948 Speaker 1: the wash for next year, kick the cannon. Then we 276 00:11:59,068 --> 00:12:01,068 Speaker 1: do this all over again next year, and then if 277 00:12:01,068 --> 00:12:03,308 Speaker 1: he wants to be franchise tag again, the number escalates 278 00:12:03,308 --> 00:12:06,428 Speaker 1: even more. He would be the youngest quarterback ever franchise 279 00:12:06,468 --> 00:12:08,748 Speaker 1: tagged at twenty six years old. This is his rookie 280 00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:11,428 Speaker 1: contract being franchise tags so rare that a rookie contract 281 00:12:11,748 --> 00:12:13,548 Speaker 1: isn't picked up on the fifth year option, which was 282 00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:15,508 Speaker 1: what the case of us with Daniel Jones. But to 283 00:12:15,548 --> 00:12:19,188 Speaker 1: your point, Jamie Joe Shane didn't draft Daniel Jones, Brian 284 00:12:19,268 --> 00:12:23,268 Speaker 1: Dable did not draft Daniel Jones. They inherited Daniel Jones, 285 00:12:23,308 --> 00:12:25,508 Speaker 1: and I don't think even them expected the season that 286 00:12:25,628 --> 00:12:27,788 Speaker 1: he had. But at forty five million, no, that's not 287 00:12:27,828 --> 00:12:29,748 Speaker 1: going to be the number for Daniel Jones, is there? 288 00:12:29,748 --> 00:12:32,188 Speaker 1: If some wiggle room is there away, Franchise tag does 289 00:12:32,188 --> 00:12:34,748 Speaker 1: seem like the most likely option, especially with the agency 290 00:12:34,748 --> 00:12:36,908 Speaker 1: that he just brought in. That's a huge cap hit 291 00:12:36,908 --> 00:12:38,588 Speaker 1: though that New York would have to take on just 292 00:12:38,668 --> 00:12:41,108 Speaker 1: in that single season to franchise tag him. But again, 293 00:12:41,108 --> 00:12:43,228 Speaker 1: it does give them one more year of trying to 294 00:12:43,228 --> 00:12:45,468 Speaker 1: figure out what direction they're going in at that position. 295 00:12:45,508 --> 00:12:48,028 Speaker 1: In particular, Shrigs, thank you. I know Brad Holmes is 296 00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:49,508 Speaker 1: going to be joining you soon, so we'll get back 297 00:12:49,508 --> 00:12:52,148 Speaker 1: to you in Indianapolis in a little bit. Will Silva, 298 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:53,988 Speaker 1: of course, is still out on the West coast because 299 00:12:54,108 --> 00:12:56,748 Speaker 1: he holds it down for us in the news department. 300 00:12:56,788 --> 00:12:59,268 Speaker 1: When things go awry, we have will to lean on 301 00:12:59,308 --> 00:13:01,788 Speaker 1: Will What do we need to know this morning in Dallas? 302 00:13:01,828 --> 00:13:04,708 Speaker 1: We know Dak Prescott it is the starting cube, but 303 00:13:04,748 --> 00:13:07,828 Speaker 1: the Cowboys been a lot of changes on offense. When 304 00:13:07,868 --> 00:13:10,828 Speaker 1: it comes to the coaching staff, Kellen Moore is out 305 00:13:10,908 --> 00:13:14,828 Speaker 1: as the OC and Brian Schottenheimer is now in if 306 00:13:14,868 --> 00:13:17,868 Speaker 1: coach mc McCarthy will also call the plays. In twenty 307 00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:21,268 Speaker 1: twenty three, our very old Jane Slater spoke with Stephen 308 00:13:21,428 --> 00:13:26,788 Speaker 1: Jones about the changes the last two seasons. Stephen winning 309 00:13:26,788 --> 00:13:29,708 Speaker 1: record visits to the postseason went even deeper this year. 310 00:13:29,828 --> 00:13:32,388 Speaker 1: Why the desire to change the coaching staff because it 311 00:13:32,428 --> 00:13:36,028 Speaker 1: felt like you were getting incrementally better every year. We're 312 00:13:36,068 --> 00:13:38,268 Speaker 1: not satisfied with where we got to. We've got to 313 00:13:38,268 --> 00:13:40,668 Speaker 1: take the next step. I mean, you know, since I 314 00:13:40,668 --> 00:13:43,348 Speaker 1: guess ninety five, we hadn't been to a championship game, 315 00:13:43,428 --> 00:13:45,468 Speaker 1: and so we weren't good enough this year. We have 316 00:13:45,508 --> 00:13:48,748 Speaker 1: to accept that and we have to improve. So that 317 00:13:48,988 --> 00:13:51,708 Speaker 1: gets into looking at your coaching staff, looking at your players, 318 00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:53,948 Speaker 1: looking and you got to look at everything, look at 319 00:13:53,988 --> 00:13:56,108 Speaker 1: what Jerry and I are doing. Everybody's got to check 320 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:58,468 Speaker 1: themselves out and see why we're not getting it done. 321 00:13:59,268 --> 00:14:02,348 Speaker 1: Back to back twelve and five seasons, reaching the Divisional 322 00:14:02,428 --> 00:14:05,228 Speaker 1: round for the first time in four years. But as 323 00:14:05,228 --> 00:14:07,468 Speaker 1: he mentioned, it's been a long time since they hoh. 324 00:14:07,508 --> 00:14:11,548 Speaker 1: He said that Lombardi Trophy twenty seven years to be exact. Well, 325 00:14:11,548 --> 00:14:13,428 Speaker 1: I'm gonna peel back to Colton a little bit. In 326 00:14:13,468 --> 00:14:17,068 Speaker 1: the middle of that sound, these three esteemed former players 327 00:14:17,108 --> 00:14:18,868 Speaker 1: looked at each other in a way that I'm very 328 00:14:18,948 --> 00:14:21,828 Speaker 1: curious about. Why are y'all making faces about the fact 329 00:14:21,828 --> 00:14:25,348 Speaker 1: that a play calling change is coming for the Dallas Cowboys. 330 00:14:25,468 --> 00:14:27,548 Speaker 1: I like it from Mike McCarthy, like, if I'm the 331 00:14:27,548 --> 00:14:30,148 Speaker 1: head coach and there's always speculation around my job, we'll 332 00:14:30,228 --> 00:14:31,788 Speaker 1: let it all fall on me. Let me call to 333 00:14:31,868 --> 00:14:33,748 Speaker 1: plays and see how we do. But hear and Stephen 334 00:14:33,828 --> 00:14:35,348 Speaker 1: Jones say, all right, it hasn't been good enough. We 335 00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:37,508 Speaker 1: need to get back to a title game, back to 336 00:14:37,588 --> 00:14:40,028 Speaker 1: competing for a Lombardi. I mean they didn't make that 337 00:14:40,068 --> 00:14:42,748 Speaker 1: many changes. I mean, Mark McCarthy is still the head coach. 338 00:14:43,068 --> 00:14:45,588 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn came back obviously on defense, which was huge 339 00:14:45,628 --> 00:14:48,388 Speaker 1: for them as an organization. But I don't really see 340 00:14:48,428 --> 00:14:50,908 Speaker 1: a move that they made where it's just like, all, okay, 341 00:14:50,988 --> 00:14:53,148 Speaker 1: I get it now like now they're going to be 342 00:14:53,228 --> 00:14:54,908 Speaker 1: able to get to the Super Bowl and be able 343 00:14:54,908 --> 00:14:57,228 Speaker 1: to win it and bring that glory back to Dallas. 344 00:14:57,228 --> 00:14:59,388 Speaker 1: All yes, for McCarthy, let it all fall on me. 345 00:14:59,428 --> 00:15:01,668 Speaker 1: I'll fall on the st on my own, merit. But 346 00:15:01,748 --> 00:15:04,548 Speaker 1: at the same time, this isn't the same Cowboys scene. Well, 347 00:15:04,548 --> 00:15:06,588 Speaker 1: I always think it's funny because you see, he said 348 00:15:06,908 --> 00:15:09,108 Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. So when it's not good enough, 349 00:15:09,148 --> 00:15:11,068 Speaker 1: what do we do? We look at the coaching staff 350 00:15:11,108 --> 00:15:13,148 Speaker 1: and we look at the players. Well, you guys are 351 00:15:13,188 --> 00:15:16,148 Speaker 1: making the decisions. Do you ever say, like, maybe we 352 00:15:16,228 --> 00:15:19,628 Speaker 1: should talk, you know, maybe we need to figure this out? Hey, man, Like, 353 00:15:19,908 --> 00:15:22,628 Speaker 1: should Dad fire me? Like as that what's going? Like? 354 00:15:22,908 --> 00:15:25,948 Speaker 1: I'm always interested. I think it's so funny in all 355 00:15:25,988 --> 00:15:29,108 Speaker 1: of these situations, it's always usually the head coach. And 356 00:15:29,108 --> 00:15:31,868 Speaker 1: if the head coach coaches offense or he's an offensive mind, 357 00:15:32,068 --> 00:15:35,148 Speaker 1: then it's the offense's problem, or fire your defensive coordinator 358 00:15:35,228 --> 00:15:38,148 Speaker 1: or the quarterbacks bad. Like, sometimes we're not making the 359 00:15:38,268 --> 00:15:40,828 Speaker 1: right decision at the top, and that's the reason we're 360 00:15:40,868 --> 00:15:42,588 Speaker 1: not back in the title game. Yeah, I love both 361 00:15:42,588 --> 00:15:44,708 Speaker 1: of you guys's thoughts here. I love him taking on 362 00:15:44,748 --> 00:15:47,268 Speaker 1: the ownership because I've been really critical of Mike McCarthy 363 00:15:47,308 --> 00:15:48,988 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. I really feel like 364 00:15:49,028 --> 00:15:51,268 Speaker 1: he was the liability a lot of the times and 365 00:15:51,348 --> 00:15:53,748 Speaker 1: game management and things like that. I think it all 366 00:15:53,748 --> 00:15:55,508 Speaker 1: got put on Kellen Moore, and I'm really happy as 367 00:15:55,508 --> 00:15:58,388 Speaker 1: a Chargers fan that he's in Los Angeles. By the way, 368 00:15:58,468 --> 00:16:01,308 Speaker 1: thank you Cowboys. And to your point, what's the common 369 00:16:01,948 --> 00:16:05,068 Speaker 1: denominator in the last twenty, you know, thirty years or 370 00:16:05,068 --> 00:16:07,868 Speaker 1: what it's been, right, it's been the Joneses. Are they 371 00:16:07,868 --> 00:16:10,068 Speaker 1: taking a real honest look in the mirror? You know 372 00:16:10,188 --> 00:16:12,548 Speaker 1: that's still I loved you guys points on that. It 373 00:16:12,668 --> 00:16:14,828 Speaker 1: is the Cowboys and we'll see what happens with it. Yeah, 374 00:16:14,828 --> 00:16:17,508 Speaker 1: you know, information is power. You can't wait for another 375 00:16:17,548 --> 00:16:19,588 Speaker 1: season of us trying to figure out if this is 376 00:16:19,588 --> 00:16:21,588 Speaker 1: the right answer, and if it's not, we'll be here 377 00:16:21,668 --> 00:16:24,388 Speaker 1: next year. We'll have this exact conversation and we'll be like, well, 378 00:16:24,388 --> 00:16:27,508 Speaker 1: they made this one tiny change and like twenty twenty 379 00:16:27,548 --> 00:16:29,748 Speaker 1: four will be it. It's a ride. It's a ride 380 00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:31,628 Speaker 1: with the cow I do think they need a true 381 00:16:31,708 --> 00:16:34,068 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. I think the loss of Amari 382 00:16:34,108 --> 00:16:36,468 Speaker 1: Cooper last year was felt, you know, or of how 383 00:16:36,508 --> 00:16:38,708 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb played this year. He played great, but he 384 00:16:38,708 --> 00:16:40,868 Speaker 1: can be better if he's put in the slot predominantly 385 00:16:40,908 --> 00:16:43,228 Speaker 1: allowing a number one guy on the outside. I just 386 00:16:43,468 --> 00:16:45,428 Speaker 1: I think that makes them more dominant. I don't think 387 00:16:45,428 --> 00:16:47,748 Speaker 1: they expected to maybe struggle with that in and out 388 00:16:47,828 --> 00:16:49,868 Speaker 1: until he had a bigger game down the stretch. Speaking 389 00:16:49,908 --> 00:16:51,588 Speaker 1: of dominance, a team that came on in the back 390 00:16:51,628 --> 00:16:53,668 Speaker 1: half of the season, or the Detroit Lions, everyone was 391 00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:55,348 Speaker 1: pretty fired up to talk about them. A little bit 392 00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:57,308 Speaker 1: of a disappointment the fact that they did not make 393 00:16:57,348 --> 00:17:00,308 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Maybe next year, and we know Peter Schegger 394 00:17:00,388 --> 00:17:02,948 Speaker 1: will talk to Lions GM Brad Holmes about that and 395 00:17:02,948 --> 00:17:07,148 Speaker 1: what they're focused on ahead this upcoming season, especially at 396 00:17:07,188 --> 00:17:10,148 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, which is kind of a curious case. 397 00:17:23,948 --> 00:17:26,228 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Good Morning Football. We're live here at 398 00:17:26,268 --> 00:17:28,748 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, and I am 399 00:17:28,828 --> 00:17:31,588 Speaker 1: joined by the general manager of the Detroit Lions, Brad Holmes. 400 00:17:31,588 --> 00:17:34,108 Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Morning Football, my friend, Thanks for having me. Peter. 401 00:17:34,228 --> 00:17:36,628 Speaker 1: I'm looking at your shirt. It's got a Lion's logo 402 00:17:36,788 --> 00:17:40,428 Speaker 1: and it says villain. You're laughing, but there is something 403 00:17:40,668 --> 00:17:43,348 Speaker 1: fearsome about that sweatshirt. As we're here in thirty one, 404 00:17:43,388 --> 00:17:45,268 Speaker 1: other teams are looking at the GM saying, what is 405 00:17:45,268 --> 00:17:47,268 Speaker 1: that all about? What is the statement and what is 406 00:17:47,268 --> 00:17:49,508 Speaker 1: the mindset? You know? Um, this is something that we 407 00:17:49,588 --> 00:17:52,068 Speaker 1: kind of came up over time just withinside of our 408 00:17:52,108 --> 00:17:55,348 Speaker 1: personnel and scouting department, just about what we're all about, 409 00:17:55,388 --> 00:17:57,708 Speaker 1: what we're trying to find and just you know, the 410 00:17:57,748 --> 00:18:00,308 Speaker 1: guys that fit our culture. So I can't give up 411 00:18:00,348 --> 00:18:03,628 Speaker 1: too much. But yeah, something that's that's that's within our 412 00:18:03,668 --> 00:18:06,348 Speaker 1: building and it's on our walls, and it's something that 413 00:18:06,388 --> 00:18:08,188 Speaker 1: we believe in. I think it's a great mantra and 414 00:18:08,188 --> 00:18:09,708 Speaker 1: it's a great way to look. You put yourself with 415 00:18:09,788 --> 00:18:11,588 Speaker 1: the black hat on, You're no longer this like fun, 416 00:18:11,668 --> 00:18:13,828 Speaker 1: feel good story. Like now we're coming in and we're 417 00:18:13,828 --> 00:18:16,228 Speaker 1: gonna make some noise. I think Week eighteen was a 418 00:18:16,268 --> 00:18:18,708 Speaker 1: statement to not only the National Football League, but to 419 00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:21,068 Speaker 1: the rest of the country. Technically nothing to play for. 420 00:18:21,348 --> 00:18:23,908 Speaker 1: Go into Lambeau, knock those guys out of the playoffs 421 00:18:23,988 --> 00:18:25,708 Speaker 1: and make a statement. How do you guys feed off 422 00:18:25,708 --> 00:18:27,588 Speaker 1: that and keep the ball going? That was a big 423 00:18:27,628 --> 00:18:29,508 Speaker 1: game for us. You know, we wanted to end the 424 00:18:29,628 --> 00:18:31,868 Speaker 1: season on a winning note, you know, and we knew 425 00:18:31,908 --> 00:18:34,028 Speaker 1: the implication in terms of if we could know if 426 00:18:34,028 --> 00:18:35,828 Speaker 1: we're going to the playoffs or have a chance or 427 00:18:35,868 --> 00:18:37,588 Speaker 1: you know that we're we're out of it. But at 428 00:18:37,588 --> 00:18:40,028 Speaker 1: the end of the day, our football team would Dan 429 00:18:40,348 --> 00:18:42,908 Speaker 1: how Dan leaves our team. Those guys play hard, man 430 00:18:43,028 --> 00:18:45,388 Speaker 1: and it's regardless, And that was a playoff game for us. 431 00:18:45,468 --> 00:18:49,188 Speaker 1: But it was cool to show the world on national 432 00:18:49,268 --> 00:18:51,988 Speaker 1: TV what we're all about, and you know, we're heading 433 00:18:52,028 --> 00:18:54,828 Speaker 1: the right direction. I'm really glad for our players who 434 00:18:54,868 --> 00:18:57,348 Speaker 1: did a great job. And you know, I'm really happy 435 00:18:57,388 --> 00:19:00,068 Speaker 1: for our city, the city of Detroit, because they've been 436 00:19:00,108 --> 00:19:01,868 Speaker 1: through some tough times for a long time. But just 437 00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:03,908 Speaker 1: to hear the optimism here, the hope that they have 438 00:19:04,068 --> 00:19:06,428 Speaker 1: right now is cool. But we still got work to do. Yeah, 439 00:19:06,588 --> 00:19:09,068 Speaker 1: we still got to keep working, you know, continue to 440 00:19:09,108 --> 00:19:11,268 Speaker 1: build this roster, do it the right way. But you know, 441 00:19:11,308 --> 00:19:13,268 Speaker 1: we're not done yet. You look at the roster and 442 00:19:13,428 --> 00:19:15,308 Speaker 1: a year ago he would have called it the Stafford trade. Well, 443 00:19:15,308 --> 00:19:17,428 Speaker 1: now it's the Stafford Golf trade, because I think golf 444 00:19:17,588 --> 00:19:19,188 Speaker 1: had this great year and it's Hey, we can look 445 00:19:19,188 --> 00:19:20,628 Speaker 1: at these guys as equals, but we also have the 446 00:19:20,668 --> 00:19:22,708 Speaker 1: Hockinson trade that you made mid season. I'm looking at 447 00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:24,668 Speaker 1: your draft picks. You have a sixth overall pick and 448 00:19:24,828 --> 00:19:28,428 Speaker 1: eighteenth overall pick, multiple second round picks, a third round pick. 449 00:19:28,588 --> 00:19:30,228 Speaker 1: This is going to be a very important draft for 450 00:19:30,228 --> 00:19:32,028 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. How are you approaching it. We're just 451 00:19:32,028 --> 00:19:34,228 Speaker 1: saying to continue the same approach that we've always had 452 00:19:34,228 --> 00:19:36,628 Speaker 1: and just want to add good football players that fit 453 00:19:36,668 --> 00:19:39,708 Speaker 1: our culture and guys that we love and guys that 454 00:19:39,748 --> 00:19:42,348 Speaker 1: are truly fits in I've talked about about free agency 455 00:19:42,388 --> 00:19:45,428 Speaker 1: about you know, we're always strategic and selective and finding 456 00:19:45,468 --> 00:19:47,868 Speaker 1: the right guys will We'll continue the same process and 457 00:19:47,948 --> 00:19:49,988 Speaker 1: the draft, and I think in the past it's like, 458 00:19:50,028 --> 00:19:52,028 Speaker 1: you know, it's part of a free agency. Can we 459 00:19:52,068 --> 00:19:54,708 Speaker 1: get guys that can really fit our culture, or do 460 00:19:54,788 --> 00:19:56,828 Speaker 1: do guys want to come to Detroit and all that, 461 00:19:56,868 --> 00:19:58,508 Speaker 1: But when it comes to the draft and when guys 462 00:19:58,508 --> 00:20:00,268 Speaker 1: that fit our culture, that's when we're gonna get the 463 00:20:00,308 --> 00:20:02,268 Speaker 1: best football player for us. Yeah, And you're looking at 464 00:20:02,308 --> 00:20:04,068 Speaker 1: some of the drafts you guys had in recent years. 465 00:20:04,628 --> 00:20:06,988 Speaker 1: You had Aiden Hutchinson, but you also get Houston the 466 00:20:07,028 --> 00:20:09,468 Speaker 1: pass rusher. You also bring these defensive backs that not 467 00:20:09,508 --> 00:20:12,108 Speaker 1: everyone had heard of, the young core. How happy are 468 00:20:12,108 --> 00:20:14,708 Speaker 1: you that they're developing and they're coming together as well? Yeah? No, 469 00:20:14,908 --> 00:20:17,468 Speaker 1: that was exciting to see. You know, obviously we have 470 00:20:17,588 --> 00:20:20,548 Speaker 1: some approvements to doing defense as a whole, but I 471 00:20:20,588 --> 00:20:24,628 Speaker 1: will say we drafted six defensive players and last year's draft, 472 00:20:24,708 --> 00:20:27,748 Speaker 1: and five of those six end up being core pieces 473 00:20:27,908 --> 00:20:30,948 Speaker 1: of our team. So those guys had to grow together. 474 00:20:31,268 --> 00:20:33,068 Speaker 1: You know, you take a little lumps early on, but 475 00:20:33,188 --> 00:20:35,228 Speaker 1: those guys learned how to win and those are cool 476 00:20:35,308 --> 00:20:37,628 Speaker 1: maturation process see with all those guys. Yeah, I want 477 00:20:37,628 --> 00:20:40,788 Speaker 1: to ask about the quarterback because in Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft, 478 00:20:40,828 --> 00:20:43,868 Speaker 1: which is the bible here on NFL Network, with that 479 00:20:43,948 --> 00:20:46,868 Speaker 1: eighteenth pick, there was a quarterback selected. Jared Goff had 480 00:20:46,868 --> 00:20:48,868 Speaker 1: this great year, but we do know his contract number 481 00:20:48,868 --> 00:20:50,348 Speaker 1: and all that. Is there a scenario where you could 482 00:20:50,348 --> 00:20:52,828 Speaker 1: see a young quarterback selected by the trade Lions and 483 00:20:52,908 --> 00:20:55,468 Speaker 1: the first two picks. Yeah, you know, it just has 484 00:20:55,508 --> 00:20:58,188 Speaker 1: to make sense. You know. Obviously we like Jared, he's 485 00:20:58,228 --> 00:21:00,748 Speaker 1: our starter, but we don't have a lot behind him, 486 00:21:00,868 --> 00:21:03,628 Speaker 1: and so we're kind of going sliding into home plate 487 00:21:03,708 --> 00:21:05,948 Speaker 1: at the very off a training cam, trying to find 488 00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:08,508 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback and able to get in Nate suffeld 489 00:21:08,508 --> 00:21:10,268 Speaker 1: and did a nice job for us, you know, And 490 00:21:10,388 --> 00:21:13,468 Speaker 1: you know we've had these open, transparent conversations about we're 491 00:21:13,508 --> 00:21:15,668 Speaker 1: half with Jared. He's our starter, but we need to 492 00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:18,868 Speaker 1: add some pieces in that room overall. So rather it's 493 00:21:18,908 --> 00:21:21,788 Speaker 1: in you know, free agency or you know, in the draft, 494 00:21:21,868 --> 00:21:23,628 Speaker 1: you know, we just got to get somebody to continue 495 00:21:23,668 --> 00:21:25,148 Speaker 1: to vote. We could talk about the players and in 496 00:21:25,228 --> 00:21:27,188 Speaker 1: the roster, but the coaching staff had a major win 497 00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:29,548 Speaker 1: this offseason two. When you see both Aaron Glenn and 498 00:21:29,668 --> 00:21:32,348 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson the defensive and offensive coordinator too, the hottest 499 00:21:32,428 --> 00:21:34,828 Speaker 1: names in coaching both come back and in Ben's case 500 00:21:35,068 --> 00:21:37,348 Speaker 1: taking his name out of head coaching interviews, saying, no, 501 00:21:37,468 --> 00:21:39,508 Speaker 1: thirty six years old on the hot name, I'd rather 502 00:21:39,508 --> 00:21:41,348 Speaker 1: be the offensive coordinay of the Lions and even interview 503 00:21:41,388 --> 00:21:44,188 Speaker 1: for head coaching jobs. What that's say about him, but 504 00:21:44,348 --> 00:21:46,308 Speaker 1: also what that's say about what you guys are building 505 00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:48,508 Speaker 1: in Detroit. Yeah, Zach, you hit it on the head. 506 00:21:48,948 --> 00:21:51,588 Speaker 1: It's a testament of our culture. And you know, Dan's 507 00:21:51,628 --> 00:21:54,468 Speaker 1: done a great job keeping continuity, but you have to 508 00:21:54,468 --> 00:21:56,748 Speaker 1: have a good coaching. Guys want and guys had to 509 00:21:56,788 --> 00:21:59,068 Speaker 1: want to come back, and we saw that with Ben 510 00:21:59,268 --> 00:22:01,268 Speaker 1: you know, luck, we saw that with a g and 511 00:22:01,388 --> 00:22:03,028 Speaker 1: to be able to get those guys back in. I 512 00:22:03,028 --> 00:22:05,828 Speaker 1: think continuity is so important, you know, and especially you 513 00:22:05,828 --> 00:22:08,228 Speaker 1: know you asked about the quarterback position. You know, as 514 00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:10,908 Speaker 1: good as Jared was, well, how good is Jared going 515 00:22:10,988 --> 00:22:14,628 Speaker 1: to be second year with Ben Johnson and even more comfortable? 516 00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:17,148 Speaker 1: So those are all wins for us, just keeping that 517 00:22:17,188 --> 00:22:19,588 Speaker 1: continuity but still knowing that we got to hold ourselves 518 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,548 Speaker 1: account and will still do a good job. Is this 519 00:22:21,588 --> 00:22:25,308 Speaker 1: thing where we do our show not just September to February. 520 00:22:25,308 --> 00:22:27,428 Speaker 1: We do our show in May, in June and July, 521 00:22:27,748 --> 00:22:29,548 Speaker 1: and Kyle, Brent and I were laughing on the show 522 00:22:29,628 --> 00:22:31,828 Speaker 1: last week. We're like the lions of that team, aren't they? 523 00:22:31,908 --> 00:22:33,748 Speaker 1: And the lines that we're gonna be talking about and 524 00:22:33,828 --> 00:22:36,828 Speaker 1: suddenly the momentum builds and it's the hot team of August. 525 00:22:37,068 --> 00:22:39,348 Speaker 1: How do you keep expectations where they should be and 526 00:22:39,548 --> 00:22:41,268 Speaker 1: how do you not have the players read the headlines 527 00:22:41,268 --> 00:22:43,668 Speaker 1: that hey, everyone's picking us to do something huge this year? 528 00:22:43,708 --> 00:22:45,748 Speaker 1: I give a lot of credit to Dan about how 529 00:22:45,788 --> 00:22:47,948 Speaker 1: he leads our football team, and he made sure the 530 00:22:47,948 --> 00:22:49,948 Speaker 1: message is clear, and you know, we have a culture 531 00:22:49,988 --> 00:22:52,748 Speaker 1: of accountability, and you know, we often say that we're 532 00:22:52,748 --> 00:22:54,508 Speaker 1: trying to do it the right way, but sometimes the 533 00:22:54,588 --> 00:22:56,508 Speaker 1: right way is kind of the hard way, and sometimes 534 00:22:56,508 --> 00:22:58,188 Speaker 1: we got to take the hard road. And all of 535 00:22:58,188 --> 00:23:01,988 Speaker 1: our players understand that entire building is unified in that message. 536 00:23:02,028 --> 00:23:04,708 Speaker 1: So again, we're just got to keep developed in that 537 00:23:04,868 --> 00:23:07,428 Speaker 1: trust in terms of building this ross right, keeping our 538 00:23:07,468 --> 00:23:10,628 Speaker 1: culture intact, and hopefully just keep it forward. Third and seven, 539 00:23:10,948 --> 00:23:14,108 Speaker 1: big play, huge moment in the Lions season, and there's 540 00:23:14,148 --> 00:23:17,588 Speaker 1: Penny Sull going out for a pass. I know you're 541 00:23:17,628 --> 00:23:19,468 Speaker 1: in the front office and you're not there calling the 542 00:23:19,508 --> 00:23:21,348 Speaker 1: plays per se, but I know you're in the building 543 00:23:21,428 --> 00:23:23,268 Speaker 1: when you see that, or you see a hooking ladder 544 00:23:23,428 --> 00:23:25,428 Speaker 1: in week eighteen on a fourth and two, Like, the 545 00:23:25,468 --> 00:23:28,468 Speaker 1: offensive ingenuity of this team was really cool this year 546 00:23:28,828 --> 00:23:31,948 Speaker 1: and that stood out as well. Yeah, well, Pine, you 547 00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:33,748 Speaker 1: know he is uh. I want to say the first 548 00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:36,068 Speaker 1: time I saw that in practice, I was like, I 549 00:23:36,108 --> 00:23:37,428 Speaker 1: was kind of far away and I thought I was 550 00:23:37,428 --> 00:23:39,508 Speaker 1: looking at a tight end. You know, I was like wait, 551 00:23:39,508 --> 00:23:41,148 Speaker 1: who's that big tight end. I was like, wow, I 552 00:23:41,188 --> 00:23:44,788 Speaker 1: think I shouldn't know that. No, he's a very gifted 553 00:23:44,828 --> 00:23:48,068 Speaker 1: athlete and he's a core center piece of our football team. 554 00:23:48,068 --> 00:23:50,308 Speaker 1: And obviously when he did the motion and caught that 555 00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:52,228 Speaker 1: pass and it just I thought that was kind of 556 00:23:52,228 --> 00:23:55,268 Speaker 1: a statement play about you know, what our offense is, about, 557 00:23:55,388 --> 00:23:58,028 Speaker 1: what our players are, about, how Dan likes to lead 558 00:23:58,028 --> 00:24:00,068 Speaker 1: our football team. You know, we like to have fun. 559 00:24:00,148 --> 00:24:02,148 Speaker 1: We want to be explosive, we want to be entertaining. 560 00:24:02,188 --> 00:24:04,148 Speaker 1: And though I think you know the world started seas, 561 00:24:04,188 --> 00:24:06,308 Speaker 1: that's not the same Detroit lawn. Yeah. No, And it's 562 00:24:06,348 --> 00:24:08,788 Speaker 1: cool to watch. They've got that villain label now, which 563 00:24:08,868 --> 00:24:13,268 Speaker 1: is interesting. Um, I'll say Dan Campbell's our favorite character 564 00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:15,268 Speaker 1: in the NFL Hard Knocks was gold for us. We 565 00:24:15,468 --> 00:24:17,948 Speaker 1: like treated it like it was an episode of the Sopranos. 566 00:24:17,988 --> 00:24:19,468 Speaker 1: On Monday mornings, we came in and we were like, 567 00:24:19,548 --> 00:24:22,988 Speaker 1: let's break it down. You worked with McVeigh in Los Angeles, 568 00:24:23,308 --> 00:24:25,348 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell. Here, I'm not gonna ask you who's the 569 00:24:25,388 --> 00:24:27,188 Speaker 1: better coach, because that's not what we do. But I'm 570 00:24:27,228 --> 00:24:29,348 Speaker 1: gonna ask you if you were in an octagon and 571 00:24:29,508 --> 00:24:32,948 Speaker 1: we had a three minute battle a scrap Dan Campbell 572 00:24:33,068 --> 00:24:35,908 Speaker 1: versus Sean McVay and Less sneat they can combine. It's 573 00:24:35,948 --> 00:24:38,428 Speaker 1: two on one. Who's coming out there? Who's winning that battle? 574 00:24:38,668 --> 00:24:40,788 Speaker 1: Oh man, that's a good one. You put me on 575 00:24:40,828 --> 00:24:43,348 Speaker 1: the spot. Dude, you're not involved. You're just an ant. 576 00:24:43,468 --> 00:24:46,068 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be. I wouldn't be. I wouldn't 577 00:24:46,068 --> 00:24:48,228 Speaker 1: want to be in an octagon as close as me 578 00:24:48,308 --> 00:24:51,148 Speaker 1: and Dan are, you know, and we're in close quarters often, 579 00:24:51,348 --> 00:24:53,348 Speaker 1: but if he's in that mode of wanting to like 580 00:24:53,508 --> 00:24:56,668 Speaker 1: really duke it out, which you know, I'm probably exiting 581 00:24:56,708 --> 00:25:00,548 Speaker 1: that octagon. But they're completely different, you know, they're all different. 582 00:25:00,628 --> 00:25:02,668 Speaker 1: So that's my way to kind of dodge that question. 583 00:25:02,788 --> 00:25:04,788 Speaker 1: But I got so much respect for me, they and 584 00:25:04,908 --> 00:25:06,988 Speaker 1: Less and you know kind of like what they did 585 00:25:07,108 --> 00:25:09,508 Speaker 1: and what they've built out there, winning a super Bowl 586 00:25:09,588 --> 00:25:11,428 Speaker 1: in their home state. I mean that's probably about the 587 00:25:11,508 --> 00:25:14,588 Speaker 1: biggest feat as possible. But it does fuel you know, 588 00:25:14,828 --> 00:25:17,108 Speaker 1: me and Dan about you know, like, hey, let's build 589 00:25:17,108 --> 00:25:18,948 Speaker 1: just staying the right way and you know, let's see 590 00:25:18,948 --> 00:25:21,268 Speaker 1: if we can get to horror placed. You guys certainly 591 00:25:21,308 --> 00:25:23,428 Speaker 1: are No comment from Brad Holmes on who would winning 592 00:25:23,468 --> 00:25:26,868 Speaker 1: the site Sean McVay and let's Steed versus Dan campbell Um. 593 00:25:27,108 --> 00:25:29,748 Speaker 1: But awesome comments here, so appreciate you coming on Good 594 00:25:29,788 --> 00:25:32,588 Speaker 1: Morning Football.

The Eagles are a hot topic right now. 600 00:25:46,228 --> 00:25:48,228 Speaker 1: Should this the longer be there? Is this a cheap code? 601 00:25:48,268 --> 00:25:50,268 Speaker 1: What the Eagles doing? Four than one? And just everyone 602 00:25:50,348 --> 00:25:52,348 Speaker 1: just scrums and jail herd.

Stay here. 604 00:26:09,988 --> 00:26:12,868 Speaker 1: So Seahawks had coach be Carroll and their general manager 605 00:26:12,948 --> 00:26:16,548 Speaker 1: John Schneider are currently in Indianapolis for the Combine and Nats. Truly, 606 00:26:16,548 --> 00:26:18,988 Speaker 1: it didn't take long for questions about their former quarterback 607 00:26:19,148 --> 00:26:22,668 Speaker 1: rolling in. Schneider was asked yesterday about the athletic report 608 00:26:22,828 --> 00:26:26,748 Speaker 1: that claimed Russell Wilson went to ownership in Seattle to 609 00:26:26,908 --> 00:26:30,028 Speaker 1: request the firing of both Schneider and Carol. At the 610 00:26:30,268 --> 00:26:33,668 Speaker 1: end of the twenty twenty one season. Instead, Wilson was 611 00:26:33,668 --> 00:26:40,708 Speaker 1: shipped to Denver and John Schneider had the final response yesterday. Honestly, 612 00:26:40,828 --> 00:26:42,948 Speaker 1: like water under the Bridge, we're really proud of our 613 00:26:42,988 --> 00:26:45,788 Speaker 1: culture players when they play for us and when they 614 00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:48,468 Speaker 1: leave and then they come back at a certain time. 615 00:26:48,548 --> 00:26:50,788 Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't have told you that, you know, Marshawn 616 00:26:50,948 --> 00:26:53,228 Speaker 1: would have come back and played for us, but you 617 00:26:53,268 --> 00:26:55,188 Speaker 1: can kind of believe it now. I think they all 618 00:26:55,308 --> 00:26:57,028 Speaker 1: know that at the end of the day they can 619 00:26:57,068 --> 00:26:58,668 Speaker 1: come back there. I was gonna be part of our family. 620 00:27:00,428 --> 00:27:03,548 Speaker 1: Open for interpretation what water under the first means. But 621 00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:06,948 Speaker 1: we're gonna make this our first topic for whiteboard Wednesday. 622 00:27:07,148 --> 00:27:09,948 Speaker 1: Got two rookies on Whiteboard Wednesday. We have these questions 623 00:27:10,108 --> 00:27:12,388 Speaker 1: to fill in the blank and you open for interpretation. 624 00:27:12,508 --> 00:27:15,068 Speaker 1: How you want to represent your answer on your whiteboard? Okay, 625 00:27:15,188 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 1: some pictures are drawn, sometimes freezes anything you want to do? Ready, 626 00:27:18,748 --> 00:27:21,388 Speaker 1: all right? So the headline, because this story we just 627 00:27:21,508 --> 00:27:24,308 Speaker 1: talked about is from last season. So the headliner story 628 00:27:24,388 --> 00:27:27,428 Speaker 1: from twenty twenty two that you think is now Water 629 00:27:27,628 --> 00:27:30,508 Speaker 1: under the Bridge is Jason, you get to go.

Jamie Me and you had 632 00:27:35,228 --> 00:27:37,748 Speaker 1: a lot of discussions about this story. I'm going with 633 00:27:38,388 --> 00:27:40,948 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. They put up three points against the New 634 00:27:41,028 --> 00:27:44,028 Speaker 1: England Patriots and the postgame pressor he's asked like, hey, 635 00:27:44,108 --> 00:27:46,348 Speaker 1: do you feel bad? Do you take on us? On us? 636 00:27:46,468 --> 00:27:48,708 Speaker 1: And it was a simple answer no, and he moved 637 00:27:48,748 --> 00:27:50,268 Speaker 1: on to the next question. It was just like that 638 00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:52,748 Speaker 1: was the end of the press conference and everybody called 639 00:27:52,788 --> 00:27:55,988 Speaker 1: him spoiled Bratt and all of these different things, and 640 00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:58,628 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know what, water under the bridge. 641 00:27:58,868 --> 00:28:01,508 Speaker 1: He was punished, he was taken out of the starting lineup, 642 00:28:01,548 --> 00:28:04,708 Speaker 1: he became a backup. He went through so many different 643 00:28:04,788 --> 00:28:08,348 Speaker 1: things with that happened after this answer in this game. 644 00:28:08,628 --> 00:28:11,588 Speaker 1: For Zach Wilson, Let's move forward. Let's let this guy 645 00:28:11,668 --> 00:28:14,108 Speaker 1: go into the offseason. There's gonna be a veteran as broad. 646 00:28:14,508 --> 00:28:17,548 Speaker 1: Let him move forward and let him progress and learn 647 00:28:17,628 --> 00:28:20,428 Speaker 1: under whatever veteran when they bring in Derek Carr, and 648 00:28:20,548 --> 00:28:23,908 Speaker 1: now we'll move forward. I'm going worder under the bridge. 649 00:28:24,388 --> 00:28:28,388 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Bill Belichick do they hate each other? 650 00:28:28,668 --> 00:28:31,748 Speaker 1: Did we not watch the Let's Go podcast?

Okay, water under 662 00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:13,468 Speaker 1: the Bridge, Brandon Staley, that you chose to start and 663 00:29:13,588 --> 00:29:17,588 Speaker 1: play Mike Williams, Bosa and mister Justin Herbert in a 664 00:29:17,748 --> 00:29:21,988 Speaker 1: meaningless game when your playoff game was already set. I 665 00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:26,348 Speaker 1: was absolutely furious. I think everybody else was. But then 666 00:29:26,388 --> 00:29:28,708 Speaker 1: you went and you saved everything. You went and got 667 00:29:28,828 --> 00:29:33,308 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. You're given my man Justin Herbert life again. 668 00:29:33,468 --> 00:29:36,748 Speaker 1: So that's that's water under the Bridge. Everybody in La 669 00:29:36,868 --> 00:29:39,748 Speaker 1: La Land. Very good that. Yeah, you were hot about that. 670 00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:41,628 Speaker 1: I was hot about the Zach Wilson thing. That was 671 00:29:41,668 --> 00:29:44,628 Speaker 1: a good one. This is actually very therapeutic. I think 672 00:29:44,708 --> 00:29:47,108 Speaker 1: this person hopes this becomes water under the bridge, and 673 00:29:47,148 --> 00:29:49,468 Speaker 1: with a new head coach, maybe it will. Because remember 674 00:29:49,588 --> 00:29:52,468 Speaker 1: when Kyler Murray had an independent study clause in his contract. 675 00:29:52,988 --> 00:29:55,508 Speaker 1: Remember when Cliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray were yelling at 676 00:29:55,548 --> 00:29:57,468 Speaker 1: each other on the sideline of a game. Pretty much 677 00:29:57,508 --> 00:29:59,668 Speaker 1: anything that went down with Kyler Murray last season, I 678 00:29:59,748 --> 00:30:02,508 Speaker 1: think he is hoping becomes water under the bridge with 679 00:30:02,588 --> 00:30:04,948 Speaker 1: a new coaching staff. I can look at that it legit. 680 00:30:05,068 --> 00:30:08,748 Speaker 1: The optics is so rough. Kyler had some really great 681 00:30:08,788 --> 00:30:11,348 Speaker 1: moments last season and some really really tough ones to 682 00:30:11,428 --> 00:30:14,988 Speaker 1: go down. He has a challenging narrative ahead of him, 683 00:30:15,028 --> 00:30:17,228 Speaker 1: I think, to come bounce back from not only his injury, 684 00:30:17,308 --> 00:30:19,988 Speaker 1: but also everything that occurred last season, with a massive 685 00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,308 Speaker 1: contract he was given and then to be told that 686 00:30:22,428 --> 00:30:24,868 Speaker 1: you have to put the work in when it comes 687 00:30:24,908 --> 00:30:27,148 Speaker 1: to the playbook and not your video games. Wolf, I 688 00:30:27,268 --> 00:30:29,548 Speaker 1: know he thinks he wants this to be water under 689 00:30:29,548 --> 00:30:30,868 Speaker 1: the bridge, right, good Jo, Everybody
