Ah, that's rude. The countdown 18 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: is on not to my birthday, but to NFL had 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: and NFL teams coming together as one as we have 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: one less vacancy in the NFL as we did at 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: this time a day ago. Welcome in, hit Mancy up 22 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: at Monte Belanos. You can find me at Dan Byer 23 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: on Fox. Jason Stewart's here, Iowa Sam is here, Chris 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: burfettis here. John Harbaugh is not here because he is 25 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: the new head coach of the New York Giants. Word 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: broke late last night, and we'll get to the insider 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: portion of this, but word broke last night that the 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: Giants and Harbaugh were finalizing a deal. We knew that 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: he was meeting with Giants brass yesterday in New Jersey 30 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: at Giants headquarters, and ultimately the first domino falls as 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: John Harbaugh is out of work for about a week 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,639 Speaker 2: and has now landed on his feet in the Big Apple. 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, the story quickly changed. 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 4: He was there all day, they were trying to woo him, 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 4: and then the reports of he is officially left back 36 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 4: to go home on the private jet. This was around 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 4: seven thirty Eastern and then the next report he is 38 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 4: supposed to meet with the Titans on Thursday, that is 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 4: his next scheduled appointment. Then not long after that, it 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: was oh no, no, no, they're already actually finalizing a deal. 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 4: I mean, if you really want we've talked about this. 42 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: There is no greater feeling than wanting to be wanted. 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 4: Feeling wanted. Yeah, and if you really if the Giants 44 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: wanted him, that bad. 45 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 3: Good for them. You're not gonna go talk to nobody else. 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: You are not going anywhere else. 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: Correct, And there is no worse feeling than being not 48 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: wanted right that there is. It is a huge, huge 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: polar opposite. And John Harbaugh was wanted by a lot 50 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: of teams. He had the right to be picky after 51 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: his eighteen years with the Baltimore Ravens. Even told Jay 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: Glazer over the weekend, I'm gonna speak with three, three 53 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: or four teams. It was interesting to try to figure 54 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: out which team they were. And as it came down 55 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: to Moncy, he didn't even get to three or four. 56 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: He got down to two, but he did interview with 57 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons ultimately chose to go to the New 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: York Giants. And I think when you look at how 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: the National Football League has looked over this coaching search, Monzi, 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: I think that the Giants job is thought to be 61 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: one of the better jobs available. Now I've seen people 62 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: trying to make a case for the Raiders job to 63 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: be good. It's a bit of a stretch, but people 64 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: are trying to make it look good. People have told 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: us that the Tennessee job is good because of cam Ward. 66 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: But I think if you really looked at it. The 67 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: two jobs that are the best jobs available were New 68 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: York and they were Atlanta, and John Harbaugh did interview 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: with Atlanta. They just hired Matt Ryan to be their 70 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: president of football Operations. He's going to be looking for 71 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: a GM. And with the criteria that we had heard 72 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: Moncey that John Harbaugh wanted, is he wanted to say 73 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: in the general manager. He wanted to pick his GM. 74 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: Arthur Blank, I think is an owner that many players, coaches, 75 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: anybody would want to work for in the NFL. And 76 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: that's not to say people wouldn't want to work with 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: the mayor or Tish families with the Giants, because they 78 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: absolutely would. The history with the Giants, the relationships that 79 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 2: they had. But the Giants already had a general manager. 80 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: They had it in Joe Shane. He was told that 81 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 2: he was going to stick around when they fired Brian Dable, 82 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: that Joe Shane would be the one picking the next 83 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: head coach. And we'll get into the process and all 84 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: of that. But the information we heard over the last 85 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: week about what John Harball wanted was he wanted to 86 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: maybe have his own say in a GM. And Atlanta 87 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: doesn't have one. So all signs pointed to Atlanta that 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: maybe that would be a destination for John Harbaugh. But 89 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: he ultimately picks the Giants, which many people predicted that 90 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 2: he would. But I think the reason why he picked 91 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: the Giants Monci is not because of ownership, because I 92 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: think it's good on both sides. I don't think it's 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: because Joe Shane in place because we thought that he 94 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: wanted to pick a GM I think ultimately John Harball 95 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: looked at the landscape of the NFL and said, I 96 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: know people think the NFC South stinks because teams are 97 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: eight to nine and eight and nine and eight and nine, 98 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: But I'm not sure the NFC East is any good. 99 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 2: Philadelphia is making a change in offensive coordinator, they seem 100 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: to crumble. Who knows how long Sequon Barkley as who 101 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,559 Speaker 2: knows how long Jalen Hurts has. Do we really believe 102 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: in the Dallas Cowboys and that Jerry Jones can put 103 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: together a championship team And if things go bad for 104 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: the Commander's next season, dan Quinn's likely going to be 105 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: out of a job. I actually think John Harball looked 106 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: at the NFC East and said, with a talent we 107 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: have here winnable. I can win here. It's not that 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: he couldn't win in Atlanta, but that he can win 109 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: in the NFC East. I actually think he looked at 110 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: the NFC East and said, yeah, I'd rather be here 111 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 2: than the NFC South. 112 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if I totally agree with you. I 113 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: see what you're saying. 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 2: Don't agree with me at all. Let's be real. I 115 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: know it's my birthday, Eve, but you don't have to sugarcoat. 116 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: It because I see what you're saying. 117 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 4: And maybe maybe the truth here is that the gap 118 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: between the NFC East and the NFC South is not 119 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 4: as big as maybe some people have thought. Because the 120 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: NFC South, I mean, if you look at the record, yeah, 121 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 4: eight and nine teams across the board except for the Saints, 122 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 4: who went it on in a good note. But then 123 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 4: on the East, yeah, the Giants only four and thirteen. 124 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 4: The Commanders though five and twelve. You don't think the 125 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 4: Commanders are gonna get better next year? 126 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: Like for me, there's no one knew they were gonna 127 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: get worse this year. These were gonna go as well 128 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: as they did two years. 129 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: Correct, But I feel like they're gonna take a step up. 130 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: I can only imagine that the Eagles make a move 131 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 4: here and there, maybe shift aj Brown somewhere else, and 132 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the Eagles are maybe back in it. 133 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 4: The Cowboys, I feel like, yes, I know they're low 134 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 4: hanging fruit to make fun of because Jerry Jones, but 135 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 4: I feel like there's no reason to think that the 136 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: NFC East is more gettable than the NFC South. I 137 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 4: think he picked the Giants for other reasons, one of 138 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: them being Jackson dar He's going to Atlanta and is 139 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 4: where the question marks surrounding the quarterback. 140 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: That is not the ideal situation. There is hope and 141 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: Jackson Dart. 142 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: You have Camp Scattabow, you have a young team on 143 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: the Giants that should that should be able to compete. 144 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: Also, it's New York, not Atlanta. 145 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: I've never been to Atlanta, and as my headphones get 146 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: stuck in my hair, I'm good, though, guys, I'm good 147 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: to buy. 148 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: So you're and you're talking to someone who, by the way, 149 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: loves Atlanta. I absolutely love Atlanta. It's one of my 150 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: I would say, honestly, if I had the rink, one 151 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: of my top five cities in the US. I love 152 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: it for I don't know if it's because of the 153 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: sports of Atlanta, because of the South, because of the city, 154 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: because of the food, or what it is. But I 155 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: am an Atlanta fan. I love Atlanta. 156 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 4: I'm not even I've never been. I want to go, 157 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 4: and I agree. I think there's a lot of things 158 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 4: that I would do sports wise if I went to Atlanta, 159 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 4: and it is on my on my bucket list to go. 160 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 4: But a lot of people have told me, have you 161 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: been to Atlanta, don't worry whenever you go, just get 162 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 4: out like that. 163 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: I can never get out fast enough of Atlanta. 164 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: So there's New York and it's just kind of like 165 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: they're like New York seems like the cool table in 166 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: high school, Like the cool kids are there where I 167 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: look at Atlanta. 168 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: New York's can always win. 169 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: That's but not just New York with Jackson. 170 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: They look fun, they look like a breath of fresh air. 171 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: All of that is saying New York. I feel like 172 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: the hype is there with Atlanta. It's like you have 173 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 4: a good team, but what about your quarterback? And I 174 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: feel like that's such a big issue. But there's all 175 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 4: these other things, like I really don't think it's a division. 176 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it's a closer gap. 177 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 2: Well, here's what I would push back and saying, who 178 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: wouldn't want to coach b John Robinson, right, who wouldn't 179 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: want to coach Drake London? Yes, Michael Pennick. 180 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: Has just coached Derrick Henry, just coach Derik Henty. 181 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: Sure, So just like these gots camp Scadboo Molie neighbors 182 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: all of this young talent on the Giant side that 183 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 4: looks fun. 184 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: I think that the Falcons are fun. The question is 185 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: is the health of Michael Pennocks junior coming back next season? 186 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: And so I don't think it's as clear cut that 187 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: the Giants that think have more pieces on defense that 188 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: you would like. But offensively, I think they can go 189 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: toe to toe with what the Giants provide and actually 190 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: are better because I think Bijon is magnificent and Drake g. 191 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: London if he's healthy, it's just a question of the quarterback. 192 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: So while you think it's a slam dunk with the 193 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: core of the players, I'm not saying the Giants don't 194 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: have a nice core, but I think that Atlanta could 195 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 2: rival that as well. And I'm just surprised that Harbaugh 196 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: would want to take on the New York media in 197 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: all of this, the pressure cooker that is New York, 198 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: where if you did go to Atlanta, maybe a little softer, 199 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: softer landing, you're not as much under the microscope. So 200 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: that was another twist, Like if you had to compare 201 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: the two, there's the New York media to deal with. 202 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: Maybe that's something that Harball wanted to bring on. But 203 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: I thought it was I just thought it was I 204 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 2: don't think that the jobs are that different, and so 205 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: trying to find the real reason. Why was it? Money? 206 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: Was it this? Was it that? And I actually think 207 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: maybe it's the actual road to having success. Jason Stewart, 208 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: he's our executive producer, He was not as enthralled with 209 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: this hire as Maazi and i Aron. Looking at the 210 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: different angles, would enthralled be the right way to put it. 211 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 5: Jason, Yeah, I don't know what the word is. I 212 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 5: guess enthralled, but like he's definitely the best candidate on 213 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 5: the market. But every single year there's going to be 214 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 5: the best candidate on the market. So that's why you 215 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 5: gotta make a big deal out of this. My question 216 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 5: for you guys is this is this a big splash 217 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 5: hire because in my mind, it's the safest hire. The 218 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 5: Giants are going to be celebrated for getting the best 219 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 5: candidate available. I think that he's probably going to eventually 220 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 5: make you a stable, winning franchise. That there's nothing sexy 221 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 5: about that, right. So when in my recent I guess lifetime, 222 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 5: the big splash hires to compare this to would be 223 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 5: John Gruden returning to the Raiders. We made a huge 224 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 5: deal out of that. It was a big deal. I 225 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 5: would even put Jim Harbaugh as a most recent example. 226 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 5: Does he raised to that level or is this just 227 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 5: a very safe down the middle higher. 228 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: For you guys. I think it was the easy higher. 229 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: I think that if you're Joe Shane and your job 230 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: is on the line, I think it's the easy higher. 231 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: I also don't think that he made the higher, to 232 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: be honest with you, I think ownership made the higher. 233 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 4: That's the way it seems if you read between the 234 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 4: lines of the details of how this all went down yesterday, 235 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 4: I agree. 236 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: I think that it's a way of instead of taking 237 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: a risk on a young coordinator or a different coordinator, 238 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: something that they have done in the past. If you 239 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: were to look at at who had previously been there, 240 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: not even coordinators, just of other assistant coaches, of getting 241 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: someone with this track record, Veer's it's Tom Coughlin has 242 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 2: been the name that has been brought up a lot 243 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: by NFL inside saying that the Giants are looking for 244 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: that Coughlin stability and Kaughlan had a successful run with 245 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars, not eighteen years worth as John Harbaugh, 246 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: but I think that they were probably fed up with 247 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: going coordinator assistant coach sort of route, and this allowed 248 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: them to not only not go that route, but when 249 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: we have the report cards coming out after this coaching cycle, 250 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: I think more grades than not, we'll say the Giants 251 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: got an A because they have a Super Bowl winning 252 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: head coach. 253 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's like you said, the easy hire. 254 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: It's a win win for both. 255 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 4: The Giants again are going to get the credit for 256 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 4: getting Harbaugh. And then Harbaugh goes into a situation that 257 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 4: seems like it's ready to take off. If you went 258 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 4: somewhere else, the expectation is like if you let's just 259 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 4: say you went to the Titans and it didn't work out, 260 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 4: would be like you failed Cam Mordan the Titans. 261 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: There would be a different narrative if he. 262 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 4: Picked another team that had maybe not the pieces as 263 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 4: well as well set up up as the Giants or 264 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 4: even the Falcons, because I agree, I think the Falcons 265 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 4: are a good team. 266 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 3: This is if you went somewhere else, it would be 267 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 3: more on him. 268 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: Like this, He's going into a situation where you almost 269 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 4: can't fail. 270 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: Yeah if they if they lose, you just say, like, ah, 271 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: that's the Giants and Joe Shane. They can never get 272 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: it right, Like John Harball was a victim of the Giants. 273 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: If he went to Atlanta and they didn't win and 274 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: he had to say and who the GM was, then 275 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: you're saying John Harball has lost his fastball. Right. So 276 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: maybe it was easy for both. Maybe in that way 277 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: it was it was easy for both. But I do 278 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: think that he looks at the NFC East as a 279 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: path that maybe isn't as daunting. I mean, when Arizona 280 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: may not hire a coach until June, considering what the 281 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: Cardinals are gonna have to go up through in that division, 282 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, he was gonna, Oh, we get Sean McVay, 283 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: Kyle shanahan and Mike McDonald, Thank you very much, Sam, 284 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: you might as well apply, Like, like, who in the 285 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: world is gonna want that job? Somebody'd be like, there's 286 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: only thirty two of them. Yeah, but that's one like 287 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: like right now, like you can think of worse timing 288 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: for organization. 289 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: That's not what you want to walk in. 290 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: No, no, But when the report cards come out, it's 291 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: going to be an a from the New York Giants. 292 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: And this probably is you know, easyps for both sides. 293 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: It really is, it really is. 294 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 4: Again, it just seems like he's walking into an ideal situation, 295 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 4: and yeah, the others aren't. 296 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: But for both win win, I. 297 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: Think it would be good. We just disagree on the 298 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: reasons why, and the Giants end up being the pick 299 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: of John Harbaugh. But I think also Jason's right, it's 300 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: almost like this coaching search is greater on a curve 301 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: because of who is available and the names that are 302 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: out there. I mean there are names that are I 303 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: mean Jason Garrett on an interview right like, I mean, 304 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: that's that's where we're going in all of this. There 305 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be a war between two teams. People 306 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: are already finding their avenues of what team, what player 307 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: they like. Going here and what player they're like going there. 308 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: With that connection, I think a lot of insiders will 309 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: probably be six of eight for their predictions or six 310 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: of nine for their predictions. Now that the Steelers won, 311 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: and if you haven't made it already, then it is 312 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: eight because Harball is already in place. But I think that, yeah, 313 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: it was the the easy higher. It's just I think 314 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: John Harball thinks that the NFC East is easier than 315 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: what some might think. 316 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 5: I haven't been I haven't stopped laughing internally about the 317 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 5: just thinking about how Iowa Sam would be as a 318 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 5: head coach in an NFL team. We too think about 319 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 5: those meetings. So it's like long winded. Uh, I disagree, 320 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 5: And I think players falling asleep and trying to having 321 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 5: to wait, trying to keep it lake, and. 322 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: This is what I think it would be. I think 323 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: like in the film session, it would be Kyler Murray 324 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: like overthrowing Marvin Harrison Junior, and Sam would be like, 325 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: that's that's okay, Kyler, that's okay, that's okay. Those that 326 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: that that sometimes happens. It's football. You sometimes miss it. 327 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: Or Marvin Harrison Junior drops a pass that's Okay, just 328 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: catch the next one. You've caught other ones before, Sam, 329 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: Do you think that would be more on your way? 330 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: Sam? 331 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: Right, I don't know why I'm catching all these. 332 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 3: He's not astray. It's not a stray at all. 333 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 6: I think, first of all, I'd cut Kyler Murray on 334 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 6: my first I would, Uh, I would. I'd rather have 335 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers back in all of his baggage in oldness. 336 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 5: So now I can see the headlines Iowa Sam racist 337 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 5: question mark. 338 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 6: No, he's just you know when he when he sits 339 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 6: down on a curb, his heads, his feet dangle. 340 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: That's all my feet angle, that's Iowa. Sam would have 341 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: the ride arm.

Kevin Burkhard I could say, well, 372 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 2: he wouldn't be doing Arizona Cardinal games, but if he did, 373 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: he would he would be saying.

How are 386 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: you well? 387 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 8: How are you guys doing great? 388 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 2: How great was the hire by the New York Giants. 389 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: We just had a discussion to open up the show. 390 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: Our executive producer, Jason Stewart says, it's not flashy, Manzi, 391 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 2: I don't want to put words in your mouth. You say, 392 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: I understand why he wants to go to New York. 393 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: I think it was an easy hire. How would you 394 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: characterize what the Giants did in bringing in John Harbaugh? 395 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think that they got the best 396 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 9: coach that was on the market, and so they should 397 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 9: feel very fortunate that they were to do that and 398 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 9: that he was that he found them appealing. You know, 399 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 9: when you look at that roster, it's still not complete. 400 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 9: It's a work in progress. But they might have a quarterback, 401 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 9: you know, if Jackson Dark can stop you know, banging 402 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 9: his head into defenders and getting checked for concussions. They 403 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 9: have a talented wide receiver, you know, and they've got 404 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 9: some some pieces on defense. But I think that John 405 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 9: Harball is exactly what the Giants needed. They needed someone 406 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 9: to bring stability, bring credibility and and he is a 407 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 9: strong leader and so uh this is you know, it 408 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 9: feels right, and we'll see, uh who It'll be interesting 409 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 9: to see what his coaching staff looks like, who he 410 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 9: brings with him, you know, and uh, you know, we'll 411 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 9: see where it goes. But they have work to do, 412 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 9: you know. I have some questions about Joe Shane, their 413 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 9: general manager, but he has been accumulating some young talent 414 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 9: and we'll see how much input Harball has about the 415 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 9: roster as well. 416 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: You said something there that just had something pop up 417 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 2: in my head. Is is it risky for teams to 418 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: maybe fire their coach midseason not knowing who was going 419 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 2: to be available, because if if John Harbaugh stayed in Baltimore, 420 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: maybe they're you know, maybe they're rolling the dice, like 421 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: could this be you know, could this be a scenario 422 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: where maybe or a reason why teams don't want to 423 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 2: fire head coaches during the season because they don't know 424 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: who's available. 425 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think that they probably you get 426 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 9: an indication of who the top candidates are going to be. 427 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 9: And so look, it was pretty apparent midway through the 428 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 9: year that Kevin Stefanski was going to be fired. You know, 429 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 9: it just was not working there in Cleveland, and he's 430 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 9: a two time Coach of the Year. So if it 431 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 9: hadn't been John Harball, it probably been Kevin Stefanski getting 432 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 9: that job there in New York possibly, But you know, 433 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 9: there's talented assistant coaches that are coming up through the ranks. 434 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 9: So I think that I don't think it hurt the 435 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 9: Giants that they fired Dable with before the season was over. 436 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 9: They had their mind made up. But I do think 437 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 9: that they had probably started evaluating, you know, candidates, and 438 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 9: then when Harball became available, they had done a lot 439 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 9: of you know, they've done interviews, they'd done homework, and 440 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 9: then they were able to spring and turn their attention 441 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 9: to him and move quickly because they had a head start. 442 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 4: Now that this domino has fallen, do you think there 443 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 4: are specific coaches out there that are going to be 444 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: now pushed towards teams, specific teams. 445 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 3: Like do you see this happening now that the first 446 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: domino has fallen? 447 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, now that you know the say, the best, 448 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 9: the top choice everybody, you know, I think it was 449 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 9: six or seven teams, so they were at the time 450 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 9: there were eight openings, and all those teams had reached 451 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 9: out to John Harball. Now he's gone, and so teams 452 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 9: have to go with their contingency plans. And so I 453 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 9: think that, okay, we'll see, you know, a team like 454 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 9: the Falcons, you know, they will go ahead and probably 455 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 9: make a hire very soon, unless the guy that they 456 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 9: want is holding up to see how things play out 457 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 9: with the Ravens, because the Ravens I think are the 458 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 9: best coaching jobs available right now. But I think that, 459 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 9: you know, maybe a team like the Titans who were 460 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 9: planning on meeting with John Harball and now he is 461 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 9: off the market, and then they go ahead and be like, okay, 462 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 9: we really liked Matt Nagie before John Harball became available, 463 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 9: and we were doing our homework on him. Now let's 464 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 9: turn our attention back to mcnaggie and we'll bring him in. 465 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 9: So I do think that some of these teams were 466 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 9: probably waiting to see where Halborro would go, and now 467 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 9: that he's gone, there back to their their first choice 468 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 9: before he surprisingly became available. 469 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: Mike John's joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. She's 470 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 2: Monty Belanios, I'm Dan Byer. I have one more coaching 471 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 2: one for myself. It is with Miami. Because the timeline, 472 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: or at least the the order of events was John 473 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 2: Harbaugh fired by the Ravens, then Mike McDaniel fired by 474 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 2: the Dolphins, and some thought, well, Stephen Ross is going 475 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: after Harbaugh now that he's gone. We know the hire 476 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: of John Eric Sullivan from Green Bay to be the 477 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: Dolphins GM. Does that allow Jeff Halfley then to be 478 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: the front runner for the gig in Miami or where 479 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: are the Dolphins looking? 480 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean we'll see there. You do always try to, 481 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 9: you know, connect dots and like it's such a relationship 482 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 9: driven business. Okay, who worked with who before? And how 483 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 9: do they know each other, because that's what you know 484 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 9: when you look at what San Francisco did. Kyle Shanahan 485 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 9: and John Lynch came in there together and they were 486 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 9: on the same page and they wanted to work together 487 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 9: before they even got there, and you see how that 488 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 9: partnership has played out. Well. So you want a GM 489 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 9: that has input on who the head coach is going 490 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 9: to be somebody lots of times like said who they've 491 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 9: worked with before, and Halfley might make make a lot 492 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 9: of sense there now that you know they know that 493 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 9: they're not in on Harball, I do think that a 494 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 9: defensive minded coach would probably be the direction that they'll go. 495 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 9: It might not be half Lee. I know that they 496 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 9: are interested in Chris Shula as well. And you know, look, 497 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 9: his grandfather was their longtime coach of the Dolphins, and 498 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 9: so that would make a lot of sense for sentimental reasons. 499 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 9: And he's also a talented defensive coach. So we'll see. 500 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 4: All right, let's move on to the divisional round happening 501 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 4: this weekend. 502 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers and Seahawks. You know Dan Seahawks here. 503 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 4: How have the forty nine ers managed to stay afloat 504 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 4: with all the injuries throughout the season, and is Sam 505 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 4: Darnold the one under most pressure in this matchup? 506 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 9: The like I was saying, with Kyle Shanahan and John 507 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 9: Lynch working together, I think that what we see is 508 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 9: the result of their partnership and looks so they've been 509 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 9: together I think seven years now, and they've been drafting 510 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 9: and they're on the same page. There's no division, there's 511 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 9: no conflict on what kind of players that they're looking for. 512 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 9: They both know, Okay, a forty nine er hits this criteria, 513 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 9: and so they've been able to draft players and develop 514 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 9: them and then when starters have gotten hurt, they're plugging 515 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 9: them in and they're making meaningful contributions. And that's what 516 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 9: every team's dream is. But very few are as good 517 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 9: at drafting and developing as what the forty nine ers 518 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 9: have been, So that's how they've been able to stay afloat. 519 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 9: I do think that there's a lot of pressure on 520 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 9: Sam Darnold here. You know, they have split and they've 521 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 9: been close games. I think it's a combined fourteen points 522 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 9: of those two games they've played, and we've seen him 523 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 9: when he's under pressure, he kind of makes the mistakes 524 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 9: and turns the ball over. But down the stretch of 525 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 9: the season, we saw him kind of take his game 526 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 9: to another level. He beat the Rams, he beat the 527 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 9: forty nine ers. He did not make any mistakes and 528 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 9: that really hurt his team. He rose to the occasion. 529 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 9: So they are hoping he can continue to do that 530 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 9: now that they're in the playoffs and they are a 531 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 9: game away from their first NFC championship game since twenty fourteen, 532 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 9: So of that matchup, there's a lot writing on him. 533 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 9: But if he can stay within the system, and you know, 534 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 9: he's got valuable weapons wide receiver too talented running backs, 535 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 9: then they could possibly get the job done. 536 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: Mike Jones joining us here on Fox Sports Radio covering 537 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 2: the NFL for the Athletics. She's Monty Belanos. I'm Dan Beyer. 538 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 2: I thought if the Bills could get past Jacksonville, this 539 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 2: train could be rolling. Now it rolls into Denver. Are 540 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 2: they going to get much of the same against another 541 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 2: top defense? They just made it through Jacksonville. Can they 542 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: have the same kind of script that they did against 543 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: the Jaguars to beat Denver? How do you see the 544 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: first game of Saturday playing out. 545 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 9: I think that we're going to see Denver struggle a 546 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 9: little bit. You know, yes to under number one seed, 547 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 9: but they're a young team. You know, Bonix had made improvements, 548 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 9: but downfield accuracy is an issue, and he's going against 549 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 9: a Bill's defense that's top in the league against the pass. 550 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 9: He also, I think that their run game, they should 551 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 9: be able to get that going. James Cook last time 552 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 9: that he played Denver in the playoffs last year, he 553 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 9: really gashed them. So I do I agree with you. 554 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 9: I think that the Bills could get rolling. I think 555 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 9: that you know, Josh Allen is on a mission. It 556 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 9: was amazing the way he kept bouncing back last week 557 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 9: getting hit as hard as he did. And so we'll 558 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 9: see what happens. But I have a feeling that the 559 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 9: Bills will be able to pull this one out. 560 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 2: It should be a magnificent weekend of football. Saturday Bills Broncos, 561 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 2: followed by the Niners and Seahawks, and then Sunday I 562 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: love Texans Patriots. I think got a great one, and 563 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: then the Bears at home of the Rams on Sunday night. 564 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: Football should be a lot of fun. Mike, we appreciate 565 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: the time.

It was the 668 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 2: first game on Sunday. Thirty two point eight million viewers 669 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: on average watched the Bills in Jaguars, and then the 670 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: third highest Packers Bears on Prime Packers and Bears beat 671 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. It beat the first game on Fox 672 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: on Saturday between the Rams and Panthers, and it beat 673 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football between the Chargers and Patriots. So all 674 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 2: of our fears or wondering if people were going to 675 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 2: tune in, they got their wish. The NFL did and 676 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: had success with the Packers Bears on the streaming service. 677 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 3: I'm not even that surprised. 678 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 4: We've talked about Prime and how I feel like Prime 679 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 4: is just more than streaming, so I feel like a 680 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 4: lot of people have it. 681 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 3: But also Monday Night Football. 682 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 4: I know it's an isolated game, but I think people 683 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 4: saw the Texans and the Steelers and were like, I 684 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 4: don't need to watch that. So they probably like I 685 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 4: don't need to watch that, so they probably planned around 686 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 4: being able to watch the others. I am a little 687 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,959 Speaker 4: bit surprised that the Bills and the Jaguars were number one, To. 688 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: Be honest, they were. 689 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 4: They were too, they were behind Eagles, and I'm surprised 690 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 4: they were so high. 691 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 2: To be honest, I am not because I think America 692 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 2: loves the Bills and they love Josh Allen. That is 693 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: the sense. In fact, as shocking as it was that 694 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 2: Prime beat out Sunday Night Football beat out Monday Night 695 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: Football and beat out the afternoon game on Fox, even 696 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: though it's Packers Bears. Great obviously great rivalry and even 697 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 2: better now with the Ben Johnson Matt Lafleur rivalry. But 698 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 2: I just think, like I like, Buffalo is America's team. 699 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 2: There are so many people who are rooting for the 700 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 2: Bills right now that I am not surprised. In Manzi, 701 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 2: they played the Jaguars, Yeah, yeah, so this is It's 702 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 2: not like Jacksonville was gonna have this. It's not like 703 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 2: they played the Chiefs. It's not like they played the 704 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 2: Ravens or you know, a team where you would expect 705 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 2: other fans, or the Steelers. It was Jacksonville and they 706 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 2: pulled the second biggest number of wild Card weekend, which 707 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: tells me that that again, America is all behind the 708 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills in this playoff run. 709 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 3: I'm surprised you're saying that. 710 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 4: Maybe it's just my feed, but I feel like there's 711 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 4: a lot of Josh Allen hate. 712 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 3: So are people hate watching Josh Allen? I am rooting 713 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 3: now that the Chargers are out. I am rooting for 714 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 3: the Bills to get it and get there. 715 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 4: Yes, that'll be great for Josh Allen and the Bills, 716 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 4: especially with their history. 717 00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 3: But on my feet, I feel like there's a lot 718 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 3: of Allan. I'm surprised that you think that. 719 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 2: I didn't get any sense of that at all. It's 720 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 2: your algorithm, Jason Stewart, do you think America's I mean, 721 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: you're talking to two guys who went to Buffalo September. 722 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: You know it had to experience the real deal. 723 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 3: So your algorithm is all positive? 724 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is. It's farewell videos to high 725 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 2: Mark Stadium. 726 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 8: Sam knows this. 727 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 5: I take every chance I can to blame the algorithm 728 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 5: for most of the world's problems. I'm guessing that's the case. Absolutely. 729 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 5: And I think if anyone's hate watching anything, people are 730 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 5: hate watching Tony Romo. 731 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I get I'm just surprised it's gotta be my algorithm. 732 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. I yeah, I don't know. If 733 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 2: anybody's like, you got to honey, come over here listening 734 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 2: to this bozo he doesn't know what he's talking about. 735 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 2: Listen to his partner despises him. That's what's going on. 736 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 10: Chris prophett I feel like America's team right now might 737 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 10: be the Bears. I feel like I feel like the 738 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 10: mood around them is But also I also someone made 739 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 10: the point earlier.
