Speaker 3: in the week that is the Buffalo Bills. So last

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: Saturday they have a second half lead, aren't able to

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: hold on to it, force it overtime, questionable catch not

00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,119

25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: to an end. Monday, the Bills fire head coach Sean McDermott.

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: Then on Wednesday we hear from ownership Terry Pagoula and

27
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: the new president of football Operations with the Buffalo Bills,

28
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: the recently promoted general manager, Brandon Bean. And if you

29
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: forgot what happened Wednesday, here was here was a little taste,

30
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: and somehow Keon Coleman was catching a bunch of strays.

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 5: Yes, can I interrupt, I'll address the Keon situation. The

32
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: coaching staff pushed to draft Kon. I'm not saying Brandon

33
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 5: wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice.

34
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 5: That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice

35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: of his coaching staff.

36
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: That was Wednesday, and now today we have come to

37
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: find out that the Buffalo Bills, with Josh Allen having input,

38
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: are interviewing Philip Rivers for their head coaching vacancy. That's

39
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: the week that was in Buffalo. As we throw it

40
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840

43
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to see where you were going to take

44
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: it outside of Philip Rivers of course.

45
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: Did you have any idea what we because you're.

46
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: A pro, you're a pros pro, Dan, and I wanted

47
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: to listen to more of you because we're unprofessional around here.

48
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you what.

61
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: It is all right there we do.

62
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, two to three hours before we get

63
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: in here, every single day since Dan brought up what's

64
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: going on in Buffalo and Philip Rivers Taylor, do me

65
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: a favor, please put this on the poll. If you

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: were hiring someone to help Josh Allen get over the hump,

67
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: would the last person you'd hire be Philip Rivers. He

68
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: is a guy who is notoriously known for not being

69
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: able to get over the hump. What do you mean

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: it's unfair to him as a quarterback, but you haven't

71
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: seen him do anything as a head coach. I have not,

72
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: No one has, because he's never been a head coach

73
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL before, only in high school.

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 6: I mean, so what gets you more excited?

75
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 7: I Philip Rivers, who's been a quarterback for years and

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 7: years and years but not been a head coach or

77
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 7: a halflee.

78
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: That's a great point, probably Philip. Yes, yes, the unknown

79
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: to me is better. Well, they're both unknown to answer

80
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: your question, but the unknown and the big name.

81
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 4: Of Philip Rivers.

82
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: I'd rather have that than like Kevin Stefanski, Right, Because.

83
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 7: What in the end, like, if we've learned much from

84
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 7: you know, the John Harbaughs of the world, what do

85
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 7: the head coaches do their best at organizing.

86
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 6: Their best at keeping things together. They're best at.

87
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 7: Making final decisions that is best for the organization, and

88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 7: they're you know, doing the thing on game day. But

89
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 7: in terms of being a specialist on one side or

90
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 7: the other, they don't have to be that.

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: You're right, I have to follow the faces of Mikeya here.

92
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: That's why he's on the zoom every single day. So

93
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I can follow his face because when we say stuff

94
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: and he disagrees, he has no problem.

95
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: But me know, what is going on with you, mikey A.

96
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 8: Kevin Stefanski's a two time coach of the Year. Philip

97
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 8: Rivers couldn't do anything anywhere. He can't even win his

98
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 8: high school champion.

99
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 6: But could Stanski play quarterback?

100
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 4: That's a good question.

101
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 8: Well, but that's that's Kevin Stefanski's problem. My question is,

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 8: how is Philip Rivers going to coach the Bills? Why

103
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 8: still play quarterback for the colt.

104
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: And would he be the Bills back up if Josh

105
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: Allen went down? How about that? Think about it? Uh?

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 6: Would you have to right? A?

107
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 7: I can still play clause into Phillip rivers coaching contract,

108
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 7: like will he say hey, hey, if somebody needs me

109
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 7: could be you guys, could be somebody else. But if

110
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 7: somebody needs me, that's my top priority. I'm doing that first,

111
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 7: just not the Chiefs.

112
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 8: It also depends on what the insurance is like as

113
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 8: a coach versus a player.

114
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: Right, it's so interesting, is he? How do you?

115
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: And now the report was and I think Dan talked

116
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: about this as his update that they are consulting Josh

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: Allen on this. Josh Allen is well aware and he

118
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: has signed off on them. Speaking to Philip Rivers, who

119
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: again was a high school coach for his son's football team,

120
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: he was thirteen to one this year.

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 4: Not bad thirteen to one, honestly, if I'm being honest.

122
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: But that is a guy whose job it would be,

123
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: if he got the job, okay, to get Josh Allen

124
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: over the hump. And I don't know how you coach that.

125
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: And go back to your experience as a player when

126
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: you were a guy like Josh Allen who was unable

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: to get past some of the great and get himself

128
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl.

129
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 7: So we're to believe that Josh Allen was not important

130
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 7: enough to the organist, to the organization to have a

131
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 7: say on whether they get rid of Sean McDermott. But

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 7: the next guy, Yeah, they are absolutely consulting him in

133
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 7: this situation.

134
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 6: None of that makes sense to me.

135
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: I believe that Josh Allen knew that Sean McDermott was

136
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: going to be fired, signed off on Sean McDermott being fired.

137
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that.

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm okay with him having a say in who the

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: next head coach is going to be for the Buffalo Bills,

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: because in all honesty, it's Josh Allen's head coach.

141
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: It's not the Buffalo Bills head coach, it is his

142
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: head coach.

143
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 9: Yes, Taylor Is, You're a Dolphins fan and the other

144
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 9: person interviewing for the job today is Mike McDaniel. As

145
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 9: a Dolphins fan, who would you rather see coaching that

146
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 9: Bills team next year? Philip Rivers or Mike McDaniel.

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 7: You assume that as a Dolphins fan that I hate

148
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 7: every other organization As a Dolphins fan, I actually keep

149
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 7: other organizations as potential teams to root for because my

150
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 7: fandom with the Dolphin it is so shaky. But in

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 7: terms of Mike McDaniel, who I never thought should have

152
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 7: been fired. I thought he should have been given a

153
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 7: chance with another quarterback. I'm not entirely frightened by him

154
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 7: potentially running the Bills. I don't think the revenge factor

155
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 7: of being in the same division as the Miami Dolphins

156
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 7: is going to elevate his coaching ability.

157
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 6: But I do think that he has got.

158
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 7: More innovative offensive ideas than I've seen I think Josh

159
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 7: Allen ever play in and that's without you know, what

160
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 7: we've seen from Mike McDaniel is without having a mobile

161
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 7: quarterback because Tua was the opposite of that when he

162
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 7: was on the movie, could not make a play ever,

163
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 7: just to be clear, ever, And so I think having

164
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 7: Josh Allen to open up his playbook, I mean it

165
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 7: would probably would probably see.

166
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 6: Things we've never seen before from Mike McDaniels.

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 7: So would I be scared, No, because they're going to

168
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 7: beat the Dolphins anyway. But would I be intrigued by

169
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 7: how Josh Alla would look with a little bit more

170
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 7: innovation to his offensive coordinator.

171
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would be.

172
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: This is how good Josh Allen is and this is

173
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: how attractive Josh Allen makes that job. Mike McDaniel just

174
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: signed with the La Rams. He lives in Los Angeles,

175
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Chargers are the Chargers. Excuse me, he lives He lives

176
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles.

177
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: I was thinking of Philip Rivers.

178
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers played for the San Diego Chargers, still lives

179
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: in San Diego. These are very very nice places. Buffalo

180
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: is not. And these two guys are willing to drop

181
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: everything and move their families across the country from LA

182
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: and San Diego to Buffalo.

183
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 7: If you are a Chargers quarterback, yeah, Justin Herbert and

184
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 7: UK all right, I've got Mike McDaniel, he's my offensive coordinator.

185
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 7: Oh wait, he's gonna go flirt with Josh Allen for

186
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 7: a second and then maybe back to me when obviously

187
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 7: he sees Josh Allen.

188
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 6: As the better option here. I don't know if I'm

189
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 6: gonna like that.

190
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm going to accept him with

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 7: big giant Justin Herbert arms when he comes back after

192
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 7: flirting with Josh Allen.

193
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 6: Stu.

194
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 9: You mentioned that Philip Rivers was thirteen and one this

195
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 9: season at Saint Michael Catholic.

196
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Cardinals.

197
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 6: Ah, the Cardinal.

198
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 9: Do you think the guy who beat him that one?

199
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 9: The Jackson Aggies who beat him in the state playoffs,

200
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 9: is like wait, why am I not getting an interview for.

201
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: This, Jess?

202
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: I do think that, and I think he's thinking that,

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: and he should get an interview. If Philip Rivers is

204
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: gonna get one, why not the guy who beat him?

205
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: I mean put that on the Paul Taylor should.

206
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: The guy who beat Philip Rivers also get an interview

207
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. And I do

208
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: believe Josh Allen is conducting the interviews, is he?

209
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: It is so crazy? What a crazy coaching carasel.

210
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 6: You know, it's crazy.

211
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: It just won't stop.

212
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 7: It's crazy that Josh Allen cries and everybody's like, oh,

213
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 7: Josh Allen, he tries so hard.

214
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 6: He should cry.

215
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams cries in college and it's like what a child, Yes,

216
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 7: a baby that gets made.

217
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: Fun of, right, But he can cry as much as

218
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: he wants moving forward, because Caleb is proved, I don't.

219
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 7: Think he can cry. He can paint his nails and cry.

220
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 7: I think he would be under too deep of an attack.

221
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: The last person to be hired is a full time

222
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: NFL head coach without any prior college or pro coaching experience.

223
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Norm Van Brocklin. The Dutchman nineteen sixty one. I mean,

224
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: how about that for sure?

225
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: I am sure. Well, Jeff's Saturdayday, the Colts try all these.

226
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 9: Full time, full time.

227
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: That was the key tailor, Yes, full time.

228
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 7: I'll actually asking if you're sure about the Dutchman part.

229
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 7: But whatever, I am sure about the Dutchman part.

230
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: I am. That's the only thing I was sure about

231
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: was the was the Dutchman part is he? It is?

232
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: Just where? What are we doing?

233
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: In what world does Josh Allen, who I believe signed

234
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: off on the firing of Sean McDermott, who's win percentage

235
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: six is fifteenth all time in NFL history among qualified coaches,

236
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: better than Belichick, Parcel's Walls, Tom Landry, better than all

237
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: those guys. And yet the guy that he's attracted to

238
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: they get rid of him, and the guy he's attracted

239
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: to was done none of that. And as a guy

240
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: who was playing quarterback for the Colts a couple of

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago.

242
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 7: I mean, let's be real, what's really exciting about an interview?

243
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 7: If I'm the Buffalop Bills, I want to interview.

244
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 6: This quote?

245
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: Who were talking about Philip Rivers?

246
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 7: I want to interview Philip Rivers a lot. I just

247
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 7: went through three names in my head. I would interview

248
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 7: Philip Rivers. That sounds like a fun interview. I want

249
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 7: to talk to you about all of his kids and

250
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 7: why he came back, and that he can't even throw

251
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 7: the ball thirty yards but he's somehow in the NFL.

252
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 6: I would want to have that discussion, right.

253
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: I do have a top five athletes that canot a

254
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: body of water in honor of Philip Rivers that we

255
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: can get to here.

256
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 6: It just a set in honor of Philip Rivers.

257
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know what went in Rome, and it just

258
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: happened to be on my notes. And you know since

259
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,239
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is in the news today, well it's fitting.

260
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 7: Because we started the week with Ponds from Indiana being

261
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 7: our big hero, right, Danzelo.

262
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: Putt, Yes, that's when Taylor wanted me to get to it.

263
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: We never got to it. We got sidetracked, as we

264
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: often do around here talking about Philip Rivers. I remember that, yes,

265
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: but now I have it and so we can go

266
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: to that here in just a second. Mike McDaniel, that

267
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: would be a great for me. If I'm Josh Allen

268
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, that would be the guy now that

269
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, because of the offensive mind having

270
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback like that. If I'm Mike McDaniel, or if

271
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm Josh Allen and I see Mike McDaniel being able

272
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: to put up seventy points with Tua, okay.

273
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: I would that's the guy I would crave. That's the

274
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: guy I would want because if he.

275
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: Did that with Tua, imagine what Mike McDaniel could do

276
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: with a guy like Josh Allen.

277
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 7: Well, I mean he also somehow head coached a team

278
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 7: that be you know, gave Josh Allen some trouble in

279
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 7: a couple of games. But I would argue that Mike

280
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 7: McDaniel did those things with Tyreek Hill right more than

281
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 7: he did to it. And so if Josh Allen says,

282
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 7: all right, I'll take Mike McDaniel as my head coach

283
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 7: if Tyreek comes with him that, I think he'd be

284
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 7: a lot more excited.

285
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Taylor, do we have the sounder ready for a top

286
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: five before we get to Dan Byer's picks?

287
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: Here? Do we have that double checking? All right?

288
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk it out on the fly, all of

289
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: us together with little organization, because when we started the

290
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: show today. We were talking into blank microphones that weren't

291
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,880

Speaker 8: to push a little old lady down for a loaf

299
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 8: of bread.

300
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,760

Speaker 8: I put your out of the way.

328
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: the news desk, it was no lie that the line

329
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: cut as soon as you tried to talk football. Is

00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: he tried to put you back on the main road.

331
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: This is how it sounded on our end.

332
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks, What are.

333
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 6: You excited about this Cup Championship weekend?

334
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 7: Because I mean that trash tag had to get your

335
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 7: flowing a little bit right.

336
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: I'm trying to know, I'm trying to get there. I am.

337
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 4: It's a weird, weird final four weird Championship Sunday. Then

338
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 4: that was it.

339
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: Can you guys just isolate whatever that digital sound was?

340
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: Can I hear that again? To your best efforts you

341
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: tried and that's all we can ask.

342
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, buddy, all right, I gotta tell you, Dan,

343
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: you do a great job of making me feel better

344
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: about myself.

345
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: That is well done.

346
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: Mark Dominic has spent over twenty years in NFL front

347
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: offices at Scouting, former general manager of the Tampa Bay

348
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: Box and a very handsome man.

349
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 4: He's going to join us right now. Mark, thanks for

350
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: joining us.

351
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: First question here, what are the keys to remaining as

352
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: good looking as you are? Because I think you're a

353
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: year older than me, and you look about ten years

354
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: younger than I did.

355
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know what to say. I don't feel

356
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 10: I feel older than I want to. You know, it's

357
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 10: kind of a crazy thing, right, you actually always still

358
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 10: younger than you actually really are. And you know, I

359
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 10: think it's my three kids and my wife and everything

360
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 10: keeps me moving.

361
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Right, Just keep moving. That's that's good advice. Yes, have

362
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: you ever seen this is insane? Honestly, Mark, have you

363
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: ever seen a coaching ca hersel like this like the

364
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: one we're going through right now?

365
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 11: No?

366
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 10: I never, In thirty years being in and around the league,

367
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 10: I can't remember anything. And the weird thing was, right,

368
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 10: before we got to the you know, the final weekend,

369
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 10: I thought, you know, it might be four coaches you know,

370
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 10: and this might be the lowest one in forever because

371
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 10: next year will be really bad. And then it turned out, well,

372
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 10: this is ten and that's insane, and so yeah, I mean,

373
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 10: the nice thing is it's a really good pool of opportunities.

374
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 10: The hard thing is is it's a lot of work

375
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 10: for these clubs, and when new people get added to

376
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 10: the mix, you know, it kind of throws the shift off.

377
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 10: And you can also see when you have this many people,

378
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 10: you know, obviously you might think you're getting the head

379
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 10: coach and suddenly they signed somewhere else or they canceled

380
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 10: the visit. So it's it's just very tricky and it's

381
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 10: a lot of work front office wise, it's a lot

382
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 10: of work for gym right now. It's actually you know,

383
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 10: wanting to be focused on you know, the Senior Bowl

384
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 10: and East West Shrine Game and instead camp.

385
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, Mark, I think a lot of people were shocked

386
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 9: that the Bills are interviewing Philip Rivers. You were you

387
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 9: got to Tampa Bay in ninety five, you left in

388
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 9: twenty thirteen. Who's the strangest guy that you brought in

389
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 9: for an interview where it's like, maybe we shouldn't bring

390
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 9: this guy in, but let's just hear him out.

391
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 10: You know, I bought in a couple other college coaches

392
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 10: back in twenty twelve that was, you know, wanting just

393
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 10: to hear them out, and so I thought that that

394
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 10: was interesting because they'd had some success and they were

395
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 10: just different character or different type of personality. So i'd

396
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 10: say that I can't really you know, I don't want

397
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 10: to really say because when we did it.

398
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I put you in a bad spot.

399
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah he did. You really did?

400
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you say it, Mark, Mark, don't be so nice

401
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: around here. We're not professional. I just say, tailor put

402
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: you in a horrible spot.

403
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 10: You're good, But yeah, there was I've done that. When

404
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 10: I did a coach in search, that was like, I know,

405
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 10: I'm not going to hire them, but I just want

406
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 10: to understand what this guy's thinking. The other thing that

407
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 10: a lot of these clubs can do, you know, right now,

408
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 10: is really hard because there's so many people trying to

409
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 10: secure stuff because don't forget, you hire the head coach

410
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 10: and now you got to probably put an entire staff together,

411
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 10: and you've got ten staffs of ten different coordinators and

412
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 10: offensive defense and positional coach.

413
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: I mean it's.

414
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 10: Convoluted right now in terms of the amount of like

415
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 10: who's going where and who's getting what job. But there

416
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 10: are also teams that will use this to find out

417
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 10: information about upcoming unrestrictive free agents. So you know, maybe

418
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 10: you're you know, you know that you like a player

419
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 10: from the whatever, the Los Angeles Rams, and so therefore

420
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 10: you're going to interview one of their coordinators to find

421
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 10: out more information about the free agent. You don't want

422
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 10: to miss and spend eighty million dollars. You want to

423
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 10: make sure you're getting right guy. So there's a lot

424
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 10: of stuff going on besides just the hiring of the

425
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 10: head coach.

426
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 7: There's some retired coach in Iowa somewhere whose highlight of

427
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 7: his career was in interviewing for the Tampa Bay Bucks job.

428
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 7: And now he's listening to his AM radio saying, wait

429
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 7: a second, was that just a cursery?

430
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: Thanks for that?

431
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 6: Taylor Mark did want to ask what.

432
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 7: The actual coaches interviews entail, like what are you looking

433
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 7: for in that timeframe? That says, Okay, this gentleman definitely

434
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 7: is the guy who's going to run my organization.

435
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 10: You know, there's lots of situations you'll put them through.

436
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 10: You'll talk to them about situational football outside of the game.

437
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 10: You'll certainly talk to them a lot about you know,

438
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 10: their their their overall fundamentals of what they believe in,

439
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 10: what's their philosophy, who are the coaches that they know

440
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 10: they can get or think they can get, and what's

441
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 10: how much of the staff is can they put together?

442
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 11: Uh?

443
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 10: But a big, the big part of it is just

444
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 10: letting them. They don't have a ton of time to

445
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 10: actually evaluate your team, so you can't just sit there

446
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 10: and go, well, tell me about my team outlooks. So

447
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 10: these guys are running around too, and so it's more

448
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 10: about just the feeling you get. Does the person motivate you,

449
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 10: do you see what they stand for, what they believe in,

450
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 10: and do you have that same fundamental belief And then

451
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 10: you spend as much time in that coaches interview as

452
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 10: you do trying to be on the phone around that coach,

453
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 10: trying to understand the people that have been around that coach,

454
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 10: what's he been like from players, coordinators, assistants, and then

455
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 10: also the success of their program where they've been. You know,

456
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 10: are they developing maybe an NFL. Are they developing players

457
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 10: and keep growing as the offense or defensive coordinator or

458
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 10: the position of coach or same with college. What kind

459
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 10: of the success of they doing recruiting, bringing people through

460
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 10: the system and getting to the NFL. And so you're

461
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 10: looking at all those different things. We're in the middle

462
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 10: of an interview talking about the different players, especially maybe

463
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 10: players from their team that they know so that you

464
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 10: already know, so that way you can kind of get

465
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 10: a sense of where their evaluation tip tendencies are as well.

466
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 9: Mark Fernando Mendoza just declared for the draft today. If

467
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 9: you were the Raiders' front office, what would your level

468
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 9: of confidence be when it comes to Mendoza as a

469
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 9: quarterback prospect?

470
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 10: Well, I think, I mean, I think it's it's almost

471
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 10: to the point where regardless you're taking him, so it

472
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 10: doesn't you know, you want to spend some time with him.

473
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 10: I know he's a quieter guy, but he also seen

474
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 10: you know that he's fit the gamesman and and tries

475
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 10: to do the right thing after every game. Go find

476
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 10: me whether it's the you know, opposing head coach or

477
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 10: he's trying to do everything the right way. You can't underestimate,

478
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 10: you know, what he's been able to accomplish. I think

479
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 10: you're going to spend time with him, but I think

480
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 10: you know, he decided he wanted to be a Raider.

481
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 10: I mean, that's basically what it is. I mean, I

482
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 10: understand why it came out and certainly going number one overall,

483
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 10: but that's your team. You picked the team. There's no

484
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 10: way the Raiders aren't taking him, and so this is

485
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 10: just it's going to be more of pick number two.

486
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 10: But it's exciting to watch Mendoz and kind of get

487
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 10: to learn who he is a little bit more as

488
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 10: where you start to go through the process.

489
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: Mark, if you have a quarterback of Josh Allen's caliber,

490
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: do you bring him in? Because it's clear that they

491
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: have do you bring him in? Is that the norm

492
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL to bring him in on the decision

493
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: making and in terms of who the next head coach

494
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: is going to be?

495
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 10: You know, I don't think so. I don't think it's

496
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 10: the norm, and I don't you know, I think I

497
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 10: would have brought Josh in and set him down and

498
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 10: just talked about the coaches on our staff. I think that,

499
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 10: to me makes more sense than anything else is like,

500
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 10: you know, what do you think of our coaches on

501
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 10: our staff, like specifically obviously on the offensive side of

502
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 10: the ball. I think that, to me is more critical

503
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 10: than thinking that, you know, let's have him be part

504
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 10: of the interview process, that he fits the right guy

505
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 10: fits him or vice versa. I don't think that that's

506
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 10: I don't think that's the best way to handle that,

507
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 10: and so therefore I'm not as big as a fan

508
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 10: and that capacity. I think it's more of the guys

509
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 10: that are on staff. Yes, totally understand that. And if

510
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 10: you want to talk about you know, your offensive coordinator, Josh,

511
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 10: let's have a real honest discussion about that, because I

512
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 10: think that's a real possibility or potential higher for them

513
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 10: because it just makes sense. And so you know, we'll see.

514
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 10: But in terms of hey, once you be part of

515
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 10: the Philip Rivers interview, you know, I just don't I

516
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 10: don't think that I would do that. I think he

517
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 10: could certainly say hi to him, but I don't want

518
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 10: to put him in the room with it, because I

519
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 10: just think that's different just a quick.

520
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 6: Helloh, I love that, Yes, but if it's Mike McDaniel.

521
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 7: Let's just say, and you know, as the offensive minded

522
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 7: guy that he is, that he will be implementing as

523
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 7: much of his offense or trying to find an offensive

524
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 7: coordinator that he could you know, vibe with and toss

525
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 7: a lot of similar ideas that way.

526
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 6: Wouldn't you want your franchise quarterback.

527
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 7: To at least know or at least discuss this so

528
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 7: he could say right off the bat, hey, I don't

529
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 7: think that really works with my skill set.

530
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: I have a difference of opinion then you do.

531
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 10: I think what I would do is to go through

532
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 10: the first round unless the guy's harball and you're like, Okay,

533
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 10: we've got to figure out whether we're hiring him or not. Right,

534
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 10: but the McDaniels of the world or things like that,

535
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 10: I think what you do is you do the first

536
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 10: club interview with ownership and whoever's a part of the

537
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 10: head coaching hiring, and then I think if you're like, Okay,

538
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 10: that was pretty good. You know, he checks our box,

539
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 10: then I think that's when you kind of get you

540
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 10: can bring the quarterback in, especially when you have an

541
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 10: elite quarterback and see how that vibe feels between them,

542
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 10: But I don't think it's round one. I think that

543
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 10: they can know about it or say hey, like I said,

544
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 10: but I think I wouldn't really spend a lot of

545
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 10: time making sure you know that, uh in the first level,

546
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 10: but the second level when I bring the candidate back in,

547
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 10: then I think it's critical that your your quarterback or

548
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 10: whoever is, you know, the big part of that team,

549
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 10: whether it's the defensive you know, linebacker three technique outside

550
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 10: Russier or whatever it is corner, that they would meet

551
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 10: him to kind of get a vibe of how that goes.

552
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 10: I mean I did that when you know, I drafted

553
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 10: my first quarterback I took when we brought him into town,

554
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 10: I brought my offensive line and I had them go

555
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 10: out to dinner with him and just tell me what

556
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 10: you guys think that kind of thing.

557
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: So, how would you handle what is going on with

558
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman right now? And I'm wondering in terms of

559
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: A J. Brown And I'm wondering Mark, how you would

560
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: handle that situation? And how do you think how wee

561
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: is handling that situation?

562
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think when you when you look at this

563
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 10: one and you you you see what the Eagles have

564
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 10: been or what they've been able to do. I think

565
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 10: you're you're trying to really more so look at your

566
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 10: entire roster figure out what can you handle in terms

567
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 10: of this off season, what's it going to be like?

568
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 10: And you know, where's where's our money and what kind

569
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 10: of money? What what do we actually have that we

570
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 10: can spend out there? And then you look at your

571
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 10: own team and you talk about like the fit. But

572
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 10: I think until they get the coordinator set, whether that's

573
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 10: Matt Maggie, whoever it might be for the Eagles, I

574
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 10: think you just play it low key right now and

575
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 10: you just just let days go on. And then I

576
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 10: think when you get if you and how he's probably

577
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 10: going to Singia Bowl, I know scouts will be there,

578
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 10: but certainly by the time you get to the combiner

579
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 10: before that, uh, you know, you find out whether his interest.

580
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 10: That's where you know what I did before I was GM,

581
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 10: I was director of pro and one of my jobs

582
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 10: was to call around to thirty one of the clubs

583
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 10: of the course of you know, especially right around now,

584
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 10: and say, hey, I'm just kind of curious, who are

585
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 10: the guys that are on the market for your team,

586
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 10: Like who's an so I can start watching them because

587
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 10: it's not just free agency, it's also those opportunities, and

588
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 10: I got to think how he's exploring that.

589
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 9: Mark. If you could have one of these final four

590
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 9: rosters from from conference championship weekend, which team would you take?

591
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 10: That's a fun question, I think, you know. The truth

592
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 10: for me would probably be the use of the RAMS

593
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 10: defense is very exciting. My scare is that I don't

594
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 10: know how much more I've got Matt Stafford left comparatively

595
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 10: to all the other rosters. So that's that's a really

596
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 10: that's a hard one for me to not take the

597
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 10: Rams because just there's so many pieces there that I

598
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 10: think are very exciting. I think probably Seattle's probably second

599
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 10: because it looks like Sam Darnold has done everything they

600
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 10: can ask. And I would shout out to John Schneider.

601
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 10: If there's a a GM that knows when to part

602
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 10: with quarterbacks better than John Schneider, I'm not sure who

603
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 10: it is, right, I mean, he obviously got Russell Wilson

604
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 10: and everybody's like, Eh, then he had Genal Smith he's like,

605
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 10: and now he finds Sam Darnold. He knows how to

606
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 10: figure out that quarterback room and boy, that's critical. But

607
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 10: I would say I would say Rams, Seahawks truthfully, Broncos

608
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 10: and Patriots, which is really exciting for Patriot fans because

609
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 10: I think there's still a lot of potential upside there.

610
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: Mark.

611
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: Did Taylor redeem himself or no? It seems like he did.

612
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 10: Oh yes, much better, much better.

613
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 1: Spirit, he's learning, he's yes, yes, and he's so excited

614
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: that you answered with a fun question.

615
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: I have another fun question.

616
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: If you're an owner, I make you an NFL owner,

617
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: who are you hiring to be your general manager?

618
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 10: You know, at this point I would probably go after

619
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 10: somebody that's had a shot but it didn't work out.

620
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 10: And I'm not saying that for any other reason, but like,

621
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 10: I think Joe Douglas is a good general manager. I

622
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 10: just don't think things went the right way for him.

623
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 10: But knowing Joe and how hardy works and what he's about,

624
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 10: he's a guy that he's a boy you know, maybe

625
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 10: just wasn't the cookie with I mean, you look at

626
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 10: Robert Soley, he's got another chance to be head coach.

627
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 10: But yet you know it's like we why wouldn't Joe

628
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 10: Douglas get another shot to be GM, so I would

629
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 10: really probably lean towards Joe first as as I see

630
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 10: he's interviewing, which makes logical sense. But Joe seems like

631
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 10: a guy that I think he just needs a different circumstance,

632
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 10: and I think it might have turned out differently for him.

633
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 7: Before we get you out of here, Mark, you hear

634
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 7: a lot about Lamar Jackson and people getting excited about

635
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 7: him possibly moving. When you see that even as a possibility,

636
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 7: how realistic does it seem. I'm not talking about this

637
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 7: particular move, but I'm saying a quarterback in his you know,

638
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 7: twenty nine thirty year old prime, how realistic is one

639
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 7: of those guys changing teams?

640
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 10: I just don't think it's very realistic at all. I

641
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 10: think when you go down that rabbit hole, you better

642
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 10: have a one hundred percent answer for what you're doing next.

643
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 10: And it's not Cooper Russian, it's not Tyler hunting right,

644
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 10: and it's just it's just not And so in this

645
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 10: draft class is not bringing with young quarterback talent. It's

646
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 10: got quite a few gaps as you go down, and

647
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 10: I think there's really interesting stuff in the third, fourth,

648
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 10: and fifth round, but first and second round it's actor Mendoza.

649
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 10: It's it's pretty quiet in my opinion, you know, so overall,

650
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 10: so I think for the Ravens, to me, it's let's

651
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 10: go another year, Let's get the new coach in here,

652
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 10: let's see how everything feels, and then make a decision,

653
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 10: like if you want to, you know, consider another avenue.

654
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 10: But I just don't think there's anything out there that

655
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 10: really makes sense other than staying with Lamar Jackson.

656
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 7: Because teams don't punt, right, there's no scenario you could say, Okay,

657
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 7: I'll take that great offer, even if it means next

658
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 7: year is going to be just a wasted year. You

659
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 7: try to find the happy medium.

660
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 10: There, right, Yeah, and the grass isn't always greener, as

661
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 10: we all know. And you know, it's so it's so

662
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 10: easy to say, well, just you'll just you know, you

663
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 10: get all these draft picks, you know, draft a quarterback

664
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 10: in twenty twenty seven or whatever. Okay, that sounds all good.

665
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 10: But if your team goes three and fourteen, I mean,

666
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 10: I didn't you know, we saw the head coaches that

667
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 10: got fired. You know, only a couple of GMS got fired.

668
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 10: I think gms are in a lot more trouble next

669
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 10: year than head coaches are just because at some point,

670
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 10: you know that's going to call in the other way,

671
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 10: it's gonna be like, what, let's look at the roster.

672
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 10: So my point in all that is, yeah, you can

673
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 10: have draft picks, but you might not get to use them,

674
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 10: or just because you draft a quarterback, as we see,

675
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 10: you know, not every everyone's going to work out. I

676
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 10: mean this time last year, I think people are all

677
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 10: you know, no one was very very excited about uh,

678
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 10: you know, Drake May, and everybody's like, like, I can't wait

679
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 10: to see more Michael Pennix. And now it's like, well,

680
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 10: now Drake May's got the lead, and so you know,

681
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 10: it's just just because it sounds good on paper and

682
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 10: it seems like, yeah, just draft a quarterback. Okay, he's

683
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 10: got to pan out, and that's that's such a hard

684
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 10: job to play.

685
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 4: One more quick one. We'll get you out of here.

686
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time Mark Dominic with does Mark what

687
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: is uh what is getting rich? Can you explain to

688
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: the audience We're in South Florida, a lot of Dolphin

689
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: fans listening. Can you explain what cutting Tua would mean

690
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins in ways that we would understand.

691
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, I think the main thing when you

692
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 10: look at TUA is trying to, you know, really kind

693
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 10: of work through what that contract implication will be, right,

694
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 10: and how does that all come hitting your club of

695
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 10: financially and and and what's the burn And I think

696
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 10: when you look at what it could be if they

697
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 10: get rid of to A it's a massive hit. But

698
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 10: you know, but his base salary I'm trying to remember

699
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 10: in my mind, I know he's based out. He's almost

700
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 10: forty million dollars right in twenty twenty eighty six, and so, uh,

701
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 10: you know, it's it's a it's it's a heavy number.

702
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

703
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 10: And at the same point, I think it's not fully

704
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 10: guaranteed right now, I think it let me see if

705
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 10: I remember.

706
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: Right, I was by a dead yeah, a dead cap

707
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: hit of ninety nine million dollars of the year, right, and.

708
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 10: Then in the cap the natural cap hit is fifty six.

709
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 10: I mean, it's it's it's to the point where it's

710
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 10: it's Deshaun Watson, you have to move. What you'd have

711
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 10: to do is handle this way that the Cleveland Browns

712
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 10: handled to Shawn Watson, meaning we're going to have to

713
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 10: you know, forward, think a lot of salary cap places

714
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 10: we're gonna have to create, you know, lower as many

715
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 10: players on our team base salaries, replace that with signing bonus.

716
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 10: And what that means is that ownership has to be

717
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 10: willing to write a lot of checks this offseason. And

718
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 10: so like a guy that's making let's say ten million

719
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 10: dollars in our team, you can take him down to

720
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 10: the minimum salary and give him a signing bonus and

721
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 10: parade his contract, you know a little bit longer, and

722
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 10: now suddenly his salar kept slower. You're gonna have to

723
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 10: do with a lot of players to be able to

724
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 10: absorb this. But that means mister Ross has to write

725
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 10: a lot of checks to a lot of veteran players

726
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 10: right now, which makes them a little more guaranteed money.

727
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: All right, Mark, we appreciate the time. This was great.

728
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing it. We hope to have you

729
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: on again if you're willing to deal with Taylor and

730
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: his bad questions.

731

Speaker 6: Now, I gotta rest this conversation.

754
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 7: You don't have to well, I mean, it's just I'm

755
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 7: intrigued what you think of Joel Embi because the guy

756
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 7: won MVP, A guy who yesterday was a two year

757
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 7: anniversary of him scoring seventy points in a game.

758
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 6: Wow, and so yesterday.

759
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 7: He had a triple double, a thirty point triple double,

760
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 7: and they beat the Sixers, did beat the Houston Rockets

761
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 7: in overtime, and needed to come back to do it.

762
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 7: He is saying he is almost back to his, you know,

763
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 7: MVP type of level. Nick Nurse is saying, they're getting

764
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 7: pretty close. That type of game against a good defensive

765
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 7: team like Houston is impressive, right, But I'm curious what

766
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 7: he would have to do for you to believe that

767
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 7: he is back to who he was and he is

768
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 7: somebody that we should even take seriously, because I'll tell you,

769
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 7: I watched every minute of that game yesterday and I

770
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 7: don't care what the final stat sheet said.

771
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 6: He did not look like an MVP. He'd look like

772
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 6: a foul.

773
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 7: Baiting, slow, defensively talented offensive player who happens to have

774
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 7: an MVP candidate next to him in Tyres MAXI. I'm

775
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 7: asking you because I believe you and I have similar

776
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 7: opinions on it.

777
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: Hasn't won a playoff series since twenty twenty threes, twenty

778
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: nine and thirty overall in the postseason.

779
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: Do it in the postseason, win a championship. He's a

780
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 4: generational talent.

781
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 6: He is in a postseason a broken face or a

782
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 6: broken knee.

783
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: I mean, all right, or do that?

784
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, but twenty nine and thirty in the postseason,

785
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: you know what they should do. They should hire Patrick

786
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: Ewing as their head coach to help him get over

787
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: the hump.

788
00:36:54,640 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 7: About that, maybe, Kareem the funny, it's just you know,

789
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 7: I feel for Philly fans, right because here even yet

790
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 7: last night that granted it wasn't over, I mean they've

791
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 7: been just so just.

792
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 6: The Sixers, right, just the six go ahead, They've been

793
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 6: stuck with him.

794
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 7: And even yesterday he played forty six minutes and yes,

795
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 7: again it was a good win. Yes it was a

796
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 7: good performance by him to get that out of him

797
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 7: in the.

798
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 6: Regular season in January.

799
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 7: But do you really believe that you're going to be

800
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 7: able to maintain he's going to be able to maintain

801
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 7: this level of minutes load, get to a postseason and

802
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 7: then be reliable for you in that postseason.

803
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: Why would you believe that you have no proof of

804
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 1: him being able to do so? So why would anyone

805
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: believe that?

806
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 7: And so to me, I would throw I mean, the

807
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 7: Sixers wouldn't do this there in playoff position or what

808
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 7: have you. But if I were in positioned with the

809
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 7: Philadelphia seventies six ers, I would have been looking to

810
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 7: trade him the second he got healthy, the second.

811
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 4: You can last.

812
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, all you need is a let's say, all star level.

813
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 7: You don't need an MVP level. You need a high

814
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 7: quality big to play with those guys. And can I

815
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 7: tell you what Paul George did last night, because this

816
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 7: is it's just a hilarious situation you have in Philadelphia.

817
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 7: Paul George, who was supposed to bring Joel Embat over

818
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 7: the top. He plays thirty seven minutes and has ten points,

819
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 7: only nine shot attempts, while Kelly Ubre is out there

820
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 7: going ten for fourteen and Kelly Ubra and giving you

821
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 7: twenty six. So it's just it feels like things have

822
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 7: turned in Philadelphia, where Joelle just give me something, right

823
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 7: because MAXI and now maybe Edgecombe are gonna take us

824
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 7: to where we want to go. And yeah, because if

825
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 7: you watch him play, he's just you know, he's gonna

826
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 7: let you down again because this version of him can

827
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 7: get you some numbers, but he's not going to be

828
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 7: a dominant force over any long stretch.

829
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 4: Paul George is a sixer.

830
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 7: That's that's the type of buy in that I want

831
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 7: from you in these conversations.

832
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 4: What let's just go to a collin, Let's go to al.

833
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 4: This is a tough one. I have to to say

Speaker 4: very slowly, Al in Albuquerque. Go ahead, Al, it's a
