That's 4 00:00:26,108 --> 00:00:29,548 Speaker 2: right Wednesday here on GMFB. There's a big, beautiful graphic 5 00:00:29,748 --> 00:00:33,108 Speaker 2: called the tournament. With eight teams left in the NFL playoffs, 6 00:00:33,108 --> 00:00:35,788 Speaker 2: two games on Saturday, two games on Sunday. Those are 7 00:00:35,788 --> 00:00:38,468 Speaker 2: the teams that remain. Those who do not remain, there 8 00:00:38,508 --> 00:00:41,228 Speaker 2: are a lot of head coaching vacancies, coordinators to a 9 00:00:41,268 --> 00:00:44,828 Speaker 2: couple of GM spots, which means decisions and interviews have 10 00:00:44,948 --> 00:00:47,908 Speaker 2: to be made. NFL Network insider Ian Rappaborg joining us 11 00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:51,348 Speaker 2: now to help us fully understand the big picture rap 12 00:00:51,348 --> 00:00:54,468 Speaker 2: sheet and the big picture Today starts with not only 13 00:00:54,628 --> 00:00:58,188 Speaker 2: not even twenty four hours after the Pittsburgh Steelers and 14 00:00:58,228 --> 00:01:01,148 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin came to an agreement yesterday about their future together. 15 00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:03,628 Speaker 3: That's so sure was an agreement. It was more Mike 16 00:01:03,668 --> 00:01:06,868 Speaker 3: Tomlin singing know what it is? Time to move on? 17 00:01:06,988 --> 00:01:09,828 Speaker 3: Walked into a team meeting two pm. Seemed to catch 18 00:01:09,828 --> 00:01:12,188 Speaker 3: at least some members of the Steelers organization. 19 00:01:11,748 --> 00:01:12,588 Speaker 4: A little bit off guard. 20 00:01:12,628 --> 00:01:15,428 Speaker 3: Despite all of the rumors that had been ongoing, walked 21 00:01:15,468 --> 00:01:18,268 Speaker 3: into a team meeting, told his players it was time 22 00:01:18,308 --> 00:01:20,628 Speaker 3: for him to step aside. My understanding, as the meeting 23 00:01:20,708 --> 00:01:23,748 Speaker 3: was brief, Tomlin said what he was going to say, 24 00:01:23,788 --> 00:01:27,148 Speaker 3: matter of factory, and then really hung around for the 25 00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:30,628 Speaker 3: players to congratulate him and say goodbye, and then stayed 26 00:01:30,628 --> 00:01:32,188 Speaker 3: in the building and said goodbye to all the people 27 00:01:32,228 --> 00:01:34,868 Speaker 3: that he'd been working with for the last eighteen years 28 00:01:34,988 --> 00:01:38,068 Speaker 3: or so. Toma now expected to not coach in the 29 00:01:38,148 --> 00:01:42,268 Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixth season. If he decided he wanted to coach, 30 00:01:42,548 --> 00:01:44,348 Speaker 3: these Steeers would own his rights. They would have to 31 00:01:45,908 --> 00:01:48,188 Speaker 3: trade him, essentially get compensation for him to coach. My 32 00:01:48,268 --> 00:01:51,228 Speaker 3: understanding is does not want to coach and wouldn't be 33 00:01:51,268 --> 00:01:54,348 Speaker 3: surprised to be landed in TV. Meanwhile, some of the 34 00:01:54,388 --> 00:01:56,788 Speaker 3: coaches who do play into coach the twenty twenty six 35 00:01:56,828 --> 00:01:59,468 Speaker 3: season will start with John Harbaugh, who's been the bell 36 00:01:59,548 --> 00:02:01,668 Speaker 3: of the ball in the coaching world, has not yet 37 00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,828 Speaker 3: done an official interview, which I'm not really that worried about, 38 00:02:04,868 --> 00:02:06,988 Speaker 3: to be honest, because he has spent a long time 39 00:02:07,268 --> 00:02:10,028 Speaker 3: talking to a lot of teams. Giants, the Titans, the 40 00:02:10,068 --> 00:02:13,108 Speaker 3: Falcons seemed to be the most in focused. Now the 41 00:02:13,228 --> 00:02:15,308 Speaker 3: Giants it sounds like to me have been among the 42 00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:19,148 Speaker 3: most aggressive, including and in person media, including phone conversations 43 00:02:19,148 --> 00:02:22,268 Speaker 3: with general manager Joe Shane, who is running the search. 44 00:02:22,588 --> 00:02:25,188 Speaker 3: The Titans have made a push as well. The Falcons 45 00:02:25,228 --> 00:02:28,468 Speaker 3: also sort of interviewed him, although I'm not sure it 46 00:02:28,468 --> 00:02:32,188 Speaker 3: really counts as an interview there anyway, Harbaugh very much 47 00:02:32,228 --> 00:02:34,228 Speaker 3: in focus. Wouldn't be surprised if he is the first 48 00:02:34,308 --> 00:02:37,388 Speaker 3: coach of Domino to fall and then Heevin Stefanski is 49 00:02:37,428 --> 00:02:41,588 Speaker 3: another big one, very very high on seemingly everyone's list. 50 00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:45,988 Speaker 3: Recently interviewed with the Miami Dolphins for their head coaching job. 51 00:02:46,068 --> 00:02:48,148 Speaker 4: That interview was on Tuesday. 52 00:02:48,188 --> 00:02:52,988 Speaker 3: Also has met with the Titans, Giants, Falcons, Ravens. Stefanski 53 00:02:53,028 --> 00:02:54,508 Speaker 3: has been in a lot of places, talk to a 54 00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:57,228 Speaker 3: lot of people. I expect him to be among the 55 00:02:57,348 --> 00:02:59,268 Speaker 3: first to get hired as well. 56 00:02:59,588 --> 00:03:01,628 Speaker 4: Thanks, Rep. She appreciate you. Listen. 57 00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:03,988 Speaker 2: I'm scratching my head over here about what is going on. 58 00:03:04,508 --> 00:03:05,748 Speaker 2: It's the GM carousel. 59 00:03:05,908 --> 00:03:07,028 Speaker 4: It's the coaching carousel. 60 00:03:07,348 --> 00:03:11,628 Speaker 2: Two gms let go in season two vacancies. There six 61 00:03:11,788 --> 00:03:15,868 Speaker 2: head six coordinators offensively, four coordinators defensively, but that number 62 00:03:15,948 --> 00:03:18,668 Speaker 2: nine looms large with the head coaching vacancies. Here they 63 00:03:18,708 --> 00:03:22,868 Speaker 2: are on the touch screen, nine total. Some started in season, 64 00:03:23,028 --> 00:03:25,148 Speaker 2: others happened as late as yesterday. 65 00:03:25,188 --> 00:03:27,548 Speaker 4: So when I go to. 66 00:03:27,788 --> 00:03:30,788 Speaker 2: Stands out on this list, man, say will start with you. 67 00:03:31,228 --> 00:03:33,428 Speaker 2: Of the nine availabilities, who's out there? 68 00:03:33,508 --> 00:03:35,548 Speaker 5: Well, the number one that stands out on my list. 69 00:03:35,588 --> 00:03:37,348 Speaker 5: If I'm a head coach and I'm looking for an 70 00:03:37,348 --> 00:03:40,268 Speaker 5: opportunity to go open there and win now, in my opinion, 71 00:03:40,268 --> 00:03:42,188 Speaker 5: the best team that can win now to me is 72 00:03:42,188 --> 00:03:45,068 Speaker 5: Atlanta Falcons. I mean, you're talking about a team that 73 00:03:45,148 --> 00:03:47,748 Speaker 5: has an offense that has a generational talent at the 74 00:03:47,788 --> 00:03:50,468 Speaker 5: running back position in be John Robinson. You have Michael 75 00:03:50,508 --> 00:03:53,348 Speaker 5: Pennix Junior, which seems like their franchise quarterback. You have 76 00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:57,108 Speaker 5: a wide receiver like Drake London Kyle Pitts, and then 77 00:03:57,548 --> 00:04:00,428 Speaker 5: a defense, a young, young defense that can get after 78 00:04:00,428 --> 00:04:03,388 Speaker 5: the year the quarterback and a secondary that can cover. 79 00:04:03,588 --> 00:04:05,828 Speaker 5: So if I am head coach and I'm looking at 80 00:04:05,828 --> 00:04:09,548 Speaker 5: all nine of those those teams, if there was one 81 00:04:09,668 --> 00:04:12,188 Speaker 5: that I thought that I could come into and they 82 00:04:12,268 --> 00:04:15,068 Speaker 5: just needed some glue to bring all those fifty three 83 00:04:15,108 --> 00:04:17,748 Speaker 5: pieces together and to win games, it would be a 84 00:04:17,788 --> 00:04:19,068 Speaker 5: bad line of Falcons, Mike gi. 85 00:04:19,508 --> 00:04:22,188 Speaker 6: The Cardinals stand out to me. I see that graphic 86 00:04:22,268 --> 00:04:23,788 Speaker 6: up there, and the Cardinals stand out to me. Kyle 87 00:04:23,828 --> 00:04:26,908 Speaker 6: Branch just did a what Mike. They stand out to 88 00:04:26,948 --> 00:04:31,308 Speaker 6: me for not great reasons, honestly, because if you're if 89 00:04:31,308 --> 00:04:32,988 Speaker 6: you're the Cardinals and you were one of the first 90 00:04:32,988 --> 00:04:34,708 Speaker 6: ones to fire a coach, Jonathan Ganning, you think, all right, 91 00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:37,188 Speaker 6: this is gonna be like five six openings something like that, 92 00:04:37,468 --> 00:04:39,068 Speaker 6: We'll get our guy, and then all of a sudden, 93 00:04:39,108 --> 00:04:43,628 Speaker 6: it's like bang, John Harveall Ravens is open Bank, Steelers 94 00:04:43,668 --> 00:04:47,428 Speaker 6: is open Giants. Like you look at some of these openings, 95 00:04:47,828 --> 00:04:50,948 Speaker 6: You've got yourself a quarterback situation that's extremely messy. 96 00:04:50,988 --> 00:04:54,388 Speaker 7: So to the Dolphins, you have middle of the road 97 00:04:54,468 --> 00:04:56,908 Speaker 7: cap spaces. It's okay, it's not great. 98 00:04:58,068 --> 00:05:00,628 Speaker 6: You also have and this is a reputation throughout the 99 00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:03,988 Speaker 6: industry as a team that won't necessarily pay very well 100 00:05:04,028 --> 00:05:06,988 Speaker 6: when the to head coaches and assistant coaches. You may 101 00:05:07,068 --> 00:05:10,228 Speaker 6: have to break that this time around, because you've got 102 00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:11,588 Speaker 6: to find a way to stand out if you go 103 00:05:11,668 --> 00:05:13,588 Speaker 6: through I mean, everybody's doing their We've done them too 104 00:05:13,628 --> 00:05:19,108 Speaker 6: as well. Ranking the openings versus based on what's most attractive. 105 00:05:19,428 --> 00:05:21,988 Speaker 6: Cardinals are going to be last, if not next to last, 106 00:05:22,548 --> 00:05:25,428 Speaker 6: because the Dolphins also have a messy quarterback situation as well. 107 00:05:25,988 --> 00:05:28,908 Speaker 6: If I'm the Arizona Cardinals, every job that opens behind me, 108 00:05:28,948 --> 00:05:31,228 Speaker 6: I kind of go a little bit like, how are 109 00:05:31,228 --> 00:05:32,428 Speaker 6: we going to stand out here? How are we going 110 00:05:32,468 --> 00:05:33,828 Speaker 6: to get ourselves to stand out? How are we going 111 00:05:33,908 --> 00:05:35,668 Speaker 6: to be able to find our guy? They'll find somebody. 112 00:05:35,668 --> 00:05:38,548 Speaker 6: It's one of thirty two. I'm not saying that, but 113 00:05:38,788 --> 00:05:40,468 Speaker 6: is it going to be the guy that you ideally 114 00:05:40,508 --> 00:05:41,588 Speaker 6: would like to have had? 115 00:05:41,868 --> 00:05:42,668 Speaker 7: I don't know. We'll see. 116 00:05:42,828 --> 00:05:45,668 Speaker 8: That's a tough year to have the vacancy. I look 117 00:05:45,708 --> 00:05:48,508 Speaker 8: at the headline grabbing the Steelers. To me, it's such 118 00:05:48,508 --> 00:05:51,028 Speaker 8: an interesting dynamic with the Steelers head coaching gigs. So 119 00:05:51,428 --> 00:05:54,748 Speaker 8: it's not terribly appealing for the traditional reasons or the 120 00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:57,828 Speaker 8: superficial reasons. I don't mean superficially, I mean headline. I 121 00:05:57,828 --> 00:06:00,748 Speaker 8: don't know who the quarterback is. I don't know who 122 00:06:00,988 --> 00:06:02,588 Speaker 8: my veterans are, who are going to stay, who are 123 00:06:02,588 --> 00:06:03,228 Speaker 8: going to keep playing. 124 00:06:03,268 --> 00:06:04,908 Speaker 4: I don't have the great. 125 00:06:04,788 --> 00:06:08,948 Speaker 8: Draft pick, and yet if you get the Steeler's job, 126 00:06:09,148 --> 00:06:11,708 Speaker 8: you may do it for twenty five years, like they 127 00:06:11,948 --> 00:06:14,388 Speaker 8: you know that ownership will back. You know, the last 128 00:06:14,388 --> 00:06:16,068 Speaker 8: thing they want to do is replace the head coach. 129 00:06:16,268 --> 00:06:18,068 Speaker 8: And they'll only do it if you decide to step 130 00:06:18,108 --> 00:06:22,908 Speaker 8: down yourself or nothing. That's really the only reason that's 131 00:06:22,988 --> 00:06:24,028 Speaker 8: the There is no or. 132 00:06:24,508 --> 00:06:27,828 Speaker 4: So it's also this, like who do they hire? I'm 133 00:06:27,908 --> 00:06:30,468 Speaker 4: so interested in this. I mentioned this earlier in the show. 134 00:06:30,748 --> 00:06:34,908 Speaker 8: The Steelers cannot afford to hire someone, and with other teams, 135 00:06:34,948 --> 00:06:37,388 Speaker 8: other franchises will hire someone on fire him after two 136 00:06:37,468 --> 00:06:39,988 Speaker 8: years or one year. The Steelers, that is, that is 137 00:06:39,988 --> 00:06:42,548 Speaker 8: their nightmare. They never want to do that. So if 138 00:06:42,588 --> 00:06:44,508 Speaker 8: you look at the hires that they've made, and all 139 00:06:44,508 --> 00:06:46,388 Speaker 8: the guys we can look at are really Tomlin and 140 00:06:46,428 --> 00:06:51,388 Speaker 8: Bill Cower. You want someone who is probably defensively oriented, right, 141 00:06:51,548 --> 00:06:54,548 Speaker 8: You want someone who is I don't know, an alpha 142 00:06:54,588 --> 00:06:59,188 Speaker 8: type like aggressive, like very strongly spoken, and then probably 143 00:06:59,228 --> 00:07:02,228 Speaker 8: someone who's young. So I don't think that they're going 144 00:07:02,268 --> 00:07:05,108 Speaker 8: to hire like put John Harbaugh on a vacuum, even 145 00:07:05,148 --> 00:07:07,188 Speaker 8: he wasn't the Ravens coach. I don't think that John 146 00:07:07,188 --> 00:07:09,548 Speaker 8: Harbaugh is their type. He's a little bit older, he 147 00:07:09,708 --> 00:07:12,428 Speaker 8: is maybe not as fire and Brimstone as some other guys. 148 00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:13,548 Speaker 4: Who is that guy? 149 00:07:13,628 --> 00:07:16,588 Speaker 8: I don't think it's Kevin Stefanski also in the division. 150 00:07:17,148 --> 00:07:18,708 Speaker 8: I don't know who it is, but I know what 151 00:07:18,708 --> 00:07:20,908 Speaker 8: they like, or at least I know what they've liked 152 00:07:20,988 --> 00:07:22,268 Speaker 8: for the last forty years. 153 00:07:22,548 --> 00:07:24,308 Speaker 4: And it's a very specific type. 154 00:07:25,108 --> 00:07:26,828 Speaker 8: Who has to walk in and be like, yeah, we 155 00:07:26,828 --> 00:07:28,988 Speaker 8: have no quarterback really and we have this no that 156 00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:30,948 Speaker 8: it's a tough gig, but I get to be the 157 00:07:30,948 --> 00:07:33,108 Speaker 8: Steelers coach and I'll see. In twenty forty five, there. 158 00:07:33,068 --> 00:07:34,548 Speaker 7: Was when they hired Mike Tomlin. 159 00:07:34,948 --> 00:07:38,028 Speaker 6: Russ Grimm was a strong contender, internal candidate, and then 160 00:07:38,148 --> 00:07:40,148 Speaker 6: Tomlin came in and wowed them in the interview. It's 161 00:07:40,188 --> 00:07:42,948 Speaker 6: called the Rooney rule for a reason because the Rooney 162 00:07:42,948 --> 00:07:46,068 Speaker 6: family and Dan Rooney helped to establish that the Steelers 163 00:07:46,108 --> 00:07:48,188 Speaker 6: will go through the interview process and put a lot 164 00:07:48,188 --> 00:07:50,748 Speaker 6: of weight on the interview process, and Mike Tomlin was 165 00:07:50,748 --> 00:07:53,108 Speaker 6: able to win the job through the interview process. So 166 00:07:53,148 --> 00:07:55,308 Speaker 6: I don't even know if he asked the Steelers today 167 00:07:55,348 --> 00:07:57,148 Speaker 6: who they're going to hire, and then in ten to 168 00:07:57,188 --> 00:07:59,108 Speaker 6: fourteen days or whatever it is, they hire somebody. 169 00:07:59,188 --> 00:08:00,628 Speaker 7: It might be two different names. 170 00:08:00,668 --> 00:08:03,548 Speaker 6: It's going to be heavily based on what they experienced 171 00:08:03,588 --> 00:08:06,228 Speaker 6: through this process they see face to face. Can there 172 00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:08,388 Speaker 6: be another timely? Can there be a guy that maybe 173 00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:10,468 Speaker 6: the average fan hasn't been talking about, is that Nate 174 00:08:10,508 --> 00:08:13,628 Speaker 6: Shieldhouse with the Rams, who is a young, impressive guy. 175 00:08:13,628 --> 00:08:15,228 Speaker 6: That's the other thing too, If you want a guy 176 00:08:15,308 --> 00:08:18,228 Speaker 6: Manti to coach for two decades, he'd better be young 177 00:08:18,548 --> 00:08:19,988 Speaker 6: right now and be able to do that. So maybe 178 00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:21,428 Speaker 6: one of these guys is what's going to stand out 179 00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:21,708 Speaker 6: to them? 180 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:24,428 Speaker 5: Yeah, when I when Kyle was talking about the Steelers 181 00:08:24,428 --> 00:08:26,668 Speaker 5: and I'm gonna go over her by Jamie, when Kyle 182 00:08:26,748 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 5: was talking. 183 00:08:26,988 --> 00:08:30,228 Speaker 2: About the Steelers, such a stand over here. 184 00:08:30,668 --> 00:08:33,268 Speaker 5: It's I look at the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. 185 00:08:33,308 --> 00:08:35,668 Speaker 5: And in our first hour of the show I talked 186 00:08:35,668 --> 00:08:37,588 Speaker 5: about something I wouldn't do twice is the roller blades. 187 00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:38,988 Speaker 5: One of the things that I didn't like to bought 188 00:08:38,988 --> 00:08:40,948 Speaker 5: the roller blades is like when you put them on, 189 00:08:41,068 --> 00:08:43,268 Speaker 5: you can tell that it's somebody else had. 190 00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:43,828 Speaker 4: Worn it before. 191 00:08:44,188 --> 00:08:45,988 Speaker 5: If I'm a head coach and I'm going to those 192 00:08:46,028 --> 00:08:49,428 Speaker 5: two franchises, it's like you have a shadow of Jim 193 00:08:49,468 --> 00:08:53,268 Speaker 5: Harborough Mike Tomlin just over you. The whole time, and 194 00:08:53,268 --> 00:08:55,028 Speaker 5: I would want to go to a place where I 195 00:08:55,028 --> 00:08:57,788 Speaker 5: could make my indent and my imprint on a on 196 00:08:58,148 --> 00:09:01,628 Speaker 5: a franchise. And so I look somewhere like Tennessee. I 197 00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:04,828 Speaker 5: look somewhere like I mean, to my gee's, I would 198 00:09:04,868 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 5: look at the Arizona Cardinals, because that's somewhere where I 199 00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:10,068 Speaker 5: could go there and be like, listen, there hasn't been 200 00:09:10,108 --> 00:09:13,068 Speaker 5: a big enough impact here that I can make a 201 00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:15,748 Speaker 5: name for myself. But if you're willing to take upon 202 00:09:15,828 --> 00:09:19,148 Speaker 5: somebody like the Baltimore Ravens, like the Steelers, or even 203 00:09:19,188 --> 00:09:21,548 Speaker 5: the New York Giants, who has that type of label, 204 00:09:22,148 --> 00:09:23,708 Speaker 5: I mean, good luck. 205 00:09:23,828 --> 00:09:26,948 Speaker 2: I'm reminded of a quote by one Kyle Brandt to 206 00:09:27,068 --> 00:09:29,628 Speaker 2: Vana White one time, who says she was the problem 207 00:09:29,748 --> 00:09:32,228 Speaker 2: he wanted to solve. Is this is the ultimate problem 208 00:09:32,268 --> 00:09:34,788 Speaker 2: that all of these teams have to solve. If you 209 00:09:34,828 --> 00:09:38,588 Speaker 2: look at this entire board, though every single quarterback situation 210 00:09:38,708 --> 00:09:41,748 Speaker 2: is this concerning except for Baltimore. I actually think you 211 00:09:41,788 --> 00:09:44,348 Speaker 2: could put the Giants right behind them in terms of 212 00:09:44,428 --> 00:09:47,828 Speaker 2: promising and the Titans as well promising young quarterback play. 213 00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:50,908 Speaker 2: But guys down the street from where you sit right now, 214 00:09:51,148 --> 00:09:53,548 Speaker 2: the Giants' job is open, Mike Carfalo, it is. 215 00:09:53,548 --> 00:09:55,708 Speaker 6: Open right now, and they're making a strong push for 216 00:09:55,788 --> 00:09:58,828 Speaker 6: John Harball. They've got Kevin Stefanski and the Crosshairs as well. 217 00:09:59,628 --> 00:10:02,828 Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy is also a strong candidate. They're potentially going 218 00:10:02,868 --> 00:10:05,428 Speaker 6: to get themselves and experience it's candidate here. They did 219 00:10:05,508 --> 00:10:07,668 Speaker 6: interview with lou Anarumo, who has not been a head 220 00:10:07,668 --> 00:10:09,908 Speaker 6: coach before. I'm told he did extremely well yesterday in 221 00:10:09,948 --> 00:10:12,828 Speaker 6: his interview as well. But let's throw that back up, 222 00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:15,068 Speaker 6: go back, because now I'm going to play the role 223 00:10:15,068 --> 00:10:16,668 Speaker 6: of John Harball and I'm going to look at this 224 00:10:16,748 --> 00:10:20,748 Speaker 6: because other than the Ravens, I could potentially punch my 225 00:10:20,828 --> 00:10:22,028 Speaker 6: ticket to any one. 226 00:10:21,828 --> 00:10:23,588 Speaker 7: Of the other eighth there as well. 227 00:10:24,388 --> 00:10:27,428 Speaker 6: So if I'm Harball and I'm looking at this, what 228 00:10:27,468 --> 00:10:30,228 Speaker 6: am I looking for. I'm looking for a place where 229 00:10:30,228 --> 00:10:31,708 Speaker 6: I can have significance. 230 00:10:31,228 --> 00:10:32,028 Speaker 7: Day number one. 231 00:10:32,268 --> 00:10:34,668 Speaker 6: Money is part of the process, but not the number 232 00:10:34,708 --> 00:10:38,628 Speaker 6: one overall thing. I'm also looking for some cap space 233 00:10:38,908 --> 00:10:40,508 Speaker 6: so I can do what I need to do with 234 00:10:40,548 --> 00:10:42,668 Speaker 6: the roster. I'm looking for young talent. I'm looking for 235 00:10:42,748 --> 00:10:46,188 Speaker 6: draft picks. The Giants have a lot of that. Certainly 236 00:10:46,708 --> 00:10:49,948 Speaker 6: they have themselves a quarterback in Jackson Dark. Don't discount 237 00:10:49,988 --> 00:10:52,148 Speaker 6: the Tennessee Titans as well, And I mentioned this on 238 00:10:52,188 --> 00:10:53,308 Speaker 6: social media the other day. 239 00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:55,068 Speaker 7: The Titans are firmly in the mix. 240 00:10:55,148 --> 00:10:57,228 Speaker 6: The Titans got all that and a new stadium on 241 00:10:57,348 --> 00:11:01,268 Speaker 6: the way in a year as well. The head coach 242 00:11:01,308 --> 00:11:04,628 Speaker 6: and offensive coordinator candidates that I've spoken to a out 243 00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:07,188 Speaker 6: cam Ward. I said, you know you're watching film because 244 00:11:07,348 --> 00:11:09,228 Speaker 6: you need to know is this a job I'm gonna take? 245 00:11:09,228 --> 00:11:10,548 Speaker 6: And what am I going to say in the interview. 246 00:11:10,948 --> 00:11:14,348 Speaker 6: I've heard repeatedly this kid can be great. They see 247 00:11:14,348 --> 00:11:17,628 Speaker 6: the potential there for him. So the Tennessee Titans are 248 00:11:17,668 --> 00:11:19,028 Speaker 6: firmly in the mix for John Harbaugh. 249 00:11:19,028 --> 00:11:20,548 Speaker 7: I'm not saying that's where he's gonna wind up. 250 00:11:20,948 --> 00:11:22,948 Speaker 6: I'm just saying for a lot of reasons, they are 251 00:11:23,028 --> 00:11:23,908 Speaker 6: high on his list. 252 00:11:23,988 --> 00:11:24,748 Speaker 4: Do you do you. 253 00:11:24,748 --> 00:11:27,588 Speaker 8: Feel like that John Harbaugh is still the bell of 254 00:11:27,588 --> 00:11:30,668 Speaker 8: the ball, like he's the number one pick of these coaches, 255 00:11:30,988 --> 00:11:33,268 Speaker 8: like the guy who you get no matter what I do, 256 00:11:33,708 --> 00:11:35,508 Speaker 8: I feel like he is like an Andrew luck Er, 257 00:11:35,748 --> 00:11:37,828 Speaker 8: like an Eric Fisher, number one overall pick, like the one. 258 00:11:37,868 --> 00:11:40,108 Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, because I would just throw out, like, 259 00:11:40,748 --> 00:11:43,028 Speaker 8: what if let's take a breath. In a few days 260 00:11:43,028 --> 00:11:46,388 Speaker 8: from now, we start hearing from Mike Tomlin's reps or 261 00:11:46,388 --> 00:11:47,948 Speaker 8: sources that he wants to get back in the game 262 00:11:47,988 --> 00:11:49,948 Speaker 8: next year. Yeah, and they want to make that happen. 263 00:11:50,028 --> 00:11:52,428 Speaker 8: I know that there's a transactional deal with him. Does 264 00:11:52,508 --> 00:11:54,588 Speaker 8: he jump in front of John Harbaugh as the most 265 00:11:54,588 --> 00:11:56,748 Speaker 8: desirable one because I remember, for one a hot minute, 266 00:11:56,788 --> 00:11:58,508 Speaker 8: it was Kevin Stefanski was the most desirable one that 267 00:11:58,588 --> 00:11:59,308 Speaker 8: Harbaugh jumped in. 268 00:11:59,308 --> 00:11:59,828 Speaker 4: How do you feel? 269 00:11:59,988 --> 00:12:01,708 Speaker 6: I think it's one in one a And it depends 270 00:12:01,708 --> 00:12:04,588 Speaker 6: on your flavor, and it depends what you want from 271 00:12:04,588 --> 00:12:08,028 Speaker 6: a culture standpoint, what you want from a defensive standpoint, 272 00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:09,868 Speaker 6: because Tomin's going to come in with a certain idea 273 00:12:09,908 --> 00:12:11,388 Speaker 6: for how he wants to play, not only on that 274 00:12:11,428 --> 00:12:12,868 Speaker 6: side of the ball, but the offensive side. 275 00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:13,148 Speaker 4: Of the balls. 276 00:12:13,228 --> 00:12:15,908 Speaker 6: Well, the Steelers have been primarily a team that has 277 00:12:15,988 --> 00:12:17,828 Speaker 6: run the ball because that's what Tomlin likes. 278 00:12:18,028 --> 00:12:19,508 Speaker 7: I mean, remember he turned it over to. 279 00:12:19,548 --> 00:12:21,548 Speaker 6: Russell Wilson when a lot of people in the building 280 00:12:21,588 --> 00:12:23,308 Speaker 6: said they didn't want to go their day. So it's 281 00:12:23,308 --> 00:12:25,348 Speaker 6: going to depend on the perspective of the team. It's 282 00:12:25,348 --> 00:12:27,548 Speaker 6: hard to sort of rank it across the board. Now, 283 00:12:27,628 --> 00:12:30,828 Speaker 6: I don't when you say, is he more Eric Fisher 284 00:12:30,908 --> 00:12:34,748 Speaker 6: or is he Moore Andrew Luck? I can't predict the outcome, 285 00:12:35,268 --> 00:12:37,548 Speaker 6: but I do know that if you're asking for every 286 00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:41,228 Speaker 6: team their list right now, other than Baltimore, again, it's 287 00:12:41,268 --> 00:12:43,748 Speaker 6: probably consensus that John Harball is the number one of 288 00:12:43,788 --> 00:12:44,308 Speaker 6: all these things. 289 00:12:44,388 --> 00:12:47,028 Speaker 8: Right. But then it becomes interesting because like the Steelers 290 00:12:47,028 --> 00:12:49,308 Speaker 8: are hard in John Harvall, Like you know what I'm saying, 291 00:12:49,308 --> 00:12:50,828 Speaker 8: Like that that's not happens. 292 00:12:50,708 --> 00:12:52,068 Speaker 7: Right, No, maybe not. 293 00:12:52,348 --> 00:12:54,068 Speaker 4: I don't think so either, And I just don't think 294 00:12:54,108 --> 00:12:55,988 Speaker 4: that's going to happen. So like they're off the well, 295 00:12:56,148 --> 00:12:56,748 Speaker 4: I don't know, you know. 296 00:12:56,748 --> 00:12:58,388 Speaker 7: What I mean, I would say this about the Steelers. 297 00:12:58,428 --> 00:13:01,268 Speaker 6: They're not, for the second time in the program, we're 298 00:13:01,268 --> 00:13:03,548 Speaker 6: gonna bring divorce in. Like we're not looking to go 299 00:13:03,628 --> 00:13:06,868 Speaker 6: get the flash the rebound type deal. The Steelers are 300 00:13:06,868 --> 00:13:08,348 Speaker 6: looking to jump back into. 301 00:13:08,148 --> 00:13:09,828 Speaker 7: A long term relationship there. 302 00:13:10,028 --> 00:13:12,068 Speaker 6: So that's why we talk about potentially the young guys 303 00:13:12,148 --> 00:13:13,708 Speaker 6: or maybe even a guy that we haven't talked about, 304 00:13:13,828 --> 00:13:15,708 Speaker 6: because this is a guy that we can grow with 305 00:13:15,748 --> 00:13:17,108 Speaker 6: and this is a guy that can be here for a. 306 00:13:17,028 --> 00:13:18,188 Speaker 4: Long can we see the list again? 307 00:13:18,308 --> 00:13:21,108 Speaker 8: Because I have a theory about all of this, Like 308 00:13:21,308 --> 00:13:23,908 Speaker 8: can we see that wide shot of all those logos. 309 00:13:23,908 --> 00:13:25,748 Speaker 4: I think Jamie and Manty are standing with all right, 310 00:13:25,788 --> 00:13:28,948 Speaker 4: So there's so so, so many thank you. And second, 311 00:13:29,028 --> 00:13:29,228 Speaker 4: Ben A. 312 00:13:29,268 --> 00:13:32,228 Speaker 8: White, I mentioned two in the segment great, great job, Jamie. 313 00:13:33,068 --> 00:13:36,828 Speaker 8: I have my theory and on why there's so many vacancies. 314 00:13:36,868 --> 00:13:40,348 Speaker 8: It is the renovated kitchen theory. When you go to 315 00:13:40,388 --> 00:13:42,788 Speaker 8: a neighbor's house or a friend's house and they just 316 00:13:42,868 --> 00:13:45,988 Speaker 8: completely renovated their kitchen and it's beautiful and it's cabinets, 317 00:13:46,068 --> 00:13:48,868 Speaker 8: encounters and appliances, and like, it's not just your wife. 318 00:13:48,908 --> 00:13:51,028 Speaker 8: You want to be like, God, this kitchen looks so great. 319 00:13:51,868 --> 00:13:55,428 Speaker 8: I think all those logos up there because of Ben Johnson, 320 00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,588 Speaker 8: because of Liam Cohen, because of Mike Rabel, and because 321 00:13:58,588 --> 00:13:59,668 Speaker 8: of how hard. 322 00:13:59,468 --> 00:14:01,708 Speaker 4: The Coach of the Year decision was to make this year. 323 00:14:01,948 --> 00:14:03,708 Speaker 8: And I think these teams are sitting around being like, 324 00:14:04,148 --> 00:14:06,748 Speaker 8: why can't we get those countertops, Why can't we get 325 00:14:06,748 --> 00:14:09,468 Speaker 8: that beautiful dishwasher or that refrigerator that looks. 326 00:14:09,228 --> 00:14:09,788 Speaker 4: Like a cabinet. 327 00:14:09,828 --> 00:14:11,948 Speaker 8: I've always wanted one of those, Like you've seen these 328 00:14:11,948 --> 00:14:14,988 Speaker 8: teams get these quick switch arounds right now, whether it 329 00:14:15,068 --> 00:14:16,948 Speaker 8: be from the young up and comers like the Namconnaba 330 00:14:16,988 --> 00:14:19,988 Speaker 8: Johnson or the Mike Vrabel types who are to established 331 00:14:19,988 --> 00:14:21,348 Speaker 8: brands who are also out. 332 00:14:21,188 --> 00:14:23,108 Speaker 4: There this year with John Hobbarin Mike Tomlins.

Tom Brady, he's won seven Super Bowls, and 442 00:18:53,468 --> 00:18:54,948 Speaker 8: then in the middle of the game and with very 443 00:18:54,948 --> 00:18:57,948 Speaker 8: windy conditions, he did what's very difficult to do. These 444 00:18:57,988 --> 00:19:00,788 Speaker 8: players sometimes do the practical explanations where they get up 445 00:19:00,788 --> 00:19:04,108 Speaker 8: and simulate blitzes and coverage and sometimes it's difficult, and 446 00:19:04,148 --> 00:19:06,388 Speaker 8: then sometimes you just have to hand the greatest ever 447 00:19:06,428 --> 00:19:09,108 Speaker 8: a football. And he has a fantastic moment about throwing 448 00:19:09,228 --> 00:19:09,748 Speaker 8: in the wind. 449 00:19:09,828 --> 00:19:12,868 Speaker 7: Today's lesson how to throw in the wind with Tom Brady, What. 450 00:19:12,788 --> 00:19:13,348 Speaker 4: Do I do with this? 451 00:19:13,908 --> 00:19:15,028 Speaker 7: You as okay with this? 452 00:19:15,268 --> 00:19:15,468 Speaker 4: Yeah? 453 00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:16,988 Speaker 12: So would you see it? And I talk about the 454 00:19:16,988 --> 00:19:18,868 Speaker 12: point of the ball a lot? You see it from well, 455 00:19:18,868 --> 00:19:20,708 Speaker 12: I started in this angle. This is kind of like 456 00:19:20,748 --> 00:19:23,108 Speaker 12: a neutral plane. This is when the poise slightly down. 457 00:19:23,148 --> 00:19:25,108 Speaker 12: When you're throwing into the wind, it has to be neutral. 458 00:19:25,308 --> 00:19:27,188 Speaker 12: If the point of the ball is up, any wind 459 00:19:27,188 --> 00:19:29,348 Speaker 12: friction is going to push that ball up over the top. 460 00:19:29,428 --> 00:19:30,868 Speaker 7: So as a quarterback, you. 461 00:19:30,788 --> 00:19:34,228 Speaker 12: Don't really like that you throw underneath because naturally that's 462 00:19:34,268 --> 00:19:36,228 Speaker 12: going to point the tip of the ball up. You'd 463 00:19:36,348 --> 00:19:39,308 Speaker 12: like more of a sea or an inverse a reverse sea. 464 00:19:39,748 --> 00:19:41,588 Speaker 12: That's how you kind of control the point of the 465 00:19:41,628 --> 00:19:44,228 Speaker 12: ball and then you can kind of just snap it off. 466 00:19:44,028 --> 00:19:44,708 Speaker 9: As you throw it. 467 00:19:44,788 --> 00:19:48,508 Speaker 12: But in these windy conditions, you can't be underneath the ball. 468 00:19:48,668 --> 00:19:50,868 Speaker 12: There's too much win and wind surface of the ball 469 00:19:50,908 --> 00:19:51,748 Speaker 12: to knock. 470 00:19:51,548 --> 00:19:52,268 Speaker 4: It off its path. 471 00:19:52,868 --> 00:19:54,428 Speaker 5: I got to tell you that was a signs lesson 472 00:19:54,468 --> 00:19:56,028 Speaker 5: that know, I needed well done. 473 00:19:56,188 --> 00:19:58,428 Speaker 8: That's the vision when Fox hires Tom Brady, that we're 474 00:19:58,468 --> 00:20:00,508 Speaker 8: watching him in riveted by every single word and kind 475 00:20:00,508 --> 00:20:02,628 Speaker 8: of just watching and waiting and waiting, and I'm just 476 00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:05,068 Speaker 8: flashing back to all these playoffs games of him and 477 00:20:05,108 --> 00:20:08,588 Speaker 8: Foxborough and these windy cold conditions. Just zipping that thing 478 00:20:08,748 --> 00:20:11,028 Speaker 8: all over through the secondary was great and he well 479 00:20:11,068 --> 00:20:12,228 Speaker 8: deserves our little ward here. 480 00:20:12,268 --> 00:20:13,868 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, did he say something because all I was 481 00:20:13,908 --> 00:20:17,828 Speaker 6: watching was the rose gold Rolex Landweller on his left wrist. No, 482 00:20:18,148 --> 00:20:22,548 Speaker 6: that's a time piece, a piece, Yeah, yes, I did 483 00:20:22,548 --> 00:20:24,148 Speaker 6: not like the Jacob and Codedy war for the super 484 00:20:24,148 --> 00:20:26,148 Speaker 6: Buzz a little much, but the Rolex Landweller for the 485 00:20:26,348 --> 00:20:29,228 Speaker 6: wild Card game nailed the time all right. 486 00:20:29,268 --> 00:20:30,948 Speaker 7: Now, that's my favorite category of the week right here. 487 00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:34,788 Speaker 6: This is the best commentary, and this is the kind 488 00:20:34,788 --> 00:20:36,548 Speaker 6: of stuff that made Tony. 489 00:20:36,348 --> 00:20:38,508 Speaker 7: Romo a star early on. Here's what's coming. 490 00:20:38,708 --> 00:20:41,508 Speaker 6: You could sip it here is Chris collins work, not 491 00:20:41,628 --> 00:20:44,948 Speaker 6: after the fact, but right in the moment, saying I 492 00:20:44,988 --> 00:20:47,468 Speaker 6: don't know what's happening right here with these substitutions. 493 00:20:47,468 --> 00:20:49,948 Speaker 13: I would not have bayede att substitution right there. You 494 00:20:50,108 --> 00:20:54,388 Speaker 13: just allowed the Patriots defense to change out everybody because 495 00:20:54,388 --> 00:20:57,148 Speaker 13: you brought a receiver on the field and they were 496 00:20:57,188 --> 00:20:59,788 Speaker 13: getting tired. The pass rush was not what it was. 497 00:21:01,348 --> 00:21:04,028 Speaker 14: Fresh rushers off the edge with Harold Landry and affredy 498 00:21:04,108 --> 00:21:08,308 Speaker 14: Jenna and other fresh players bring heat underneath throw for 499 00:21:08,388 --> 00:21:12,028 Speaker 14: Allen nothing doing incomplete great call, Chris. 500 00:21:11,988 --> 00:21:14,188 Speaker 13: You changed the whole dynamic of the game. I mean, 501 00:21:14,188 --> 00:21:16,548 Speaker 13: the whole point is you don't want to give these 502 00:21:16,548 --> 00:21:19,548 Speaker 13: guys a chance to catch their breath because their defensive 503 00:21:19,588 --> 00:21:23,068 Speaker 13: line is whooping your offensive line.

Okay, But 575 00:24:28,268 --> 00:24:30,948 Speaker 2: you're keeping busy with other stuff. You're an executive producer 576 00:24:30,988 --> 00:24:34,468 Speaker 2: of a new film, signing Tony Raven which is out Raymond, 577 00:24:34,468 --> 00:24:35,948 Speaker 2: which is out in theaters on Friday. 578 00:24:36,068 --> 00:24:37,108 Speaker 4: We're going to ask you about that. 579 00:24:37,508 --> 00:24:39,588 Speaker 2: But if you're here, you know, I just want to 580 00:24:39,588 --> 00:24:42,508 Speaker 2: pick your brain about the number one seed of Denver Broncos. 581 00:24:43,028 --> 00:24:44,748 Speaker 2: What are some of the traits of this team after 582 00:24:44,908 --> 00:24:47,748 Speaker 2: you've watched them all season long that gives you the 583 00:24:47,788 --> 00:24:50,308 Speaker 2: faith that they are do this one seed and they 584 00:24:50,348 --> 00:24:51,708 Speaker 2: can do some damage in January. 585 00:24:51,948 --> 00:24:53,268 Speaker 9: Well, first and foremost. 586 00:24:53,828 --> 00:24:58,308 Speaker 16: I would say defense wins championships, and we know that 587 00:24:58,388 --> 00:25:00,508 Speaker 16: they have a great defense. Some ship mant I would 588 00:25:00,548 --> 00:25:04,988 Speaker 16: agree with then, So you know what that said. It's 589 00:25:05,028 --> 00:25:11,268 Speaker 16: really about the offense compliment and that great defense, special teams, 590 00:25:11,708 --> 00:25:14,308 Speaker 16: and they've done that consistently all year. That's why they're 591 00:25:14,428 --> 00:25:17,548 Speaker 16: number one seed. They had high hopes coming into the season. 592 00:25:17,588 --> 00:25:19,908 Speaker 16: I think we sort of just touched on that during 593 00:25:19,908 --> 00:25:24,108 Speaker 16: the break. These dudes had high hopes. They very confident 594 00:25:24,148 --> 00:25:26,188 Speaker 16: in what they could do, and now they have home 595 00:25:26,188 --> 00:25:28,628 Speaker 16: field advantage and there's no better place to. 596 00:25:28,708 --> 00:25:30,348 Speaker 9: Have home field than Male High. 597 00:25:30,468 --> 00:25:33,108 Speaker 16: So I'm looking forward to a good playoff run from 598 00:25:33,148 --> 00:25:33,508 Speaker 16: this team. 599 00:25:33,788 --> 00:25:36,668 Speaker 8: It's incredible home field advantage, man, Nobody knows that better 600 00:25:36,708 --> 00:25:39,108 Speaker 8: than you. You also have a lot of insight into 601 00:25:39,108 --> 00:25:41,988 Speaker 8: Sean Pate. You've crossed paths with him, you know him. 602 00:25:42,028 --> 00:25:44,748 Speaker 8: You're from New Orleans, like, there's nobody like him. There's 603 00:25:44,788 --> 00:25:47,508 Speaker 8: thirty two coaches and there is one Sean Payton. Tell 604 00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:49,788 Speaker 8: us somebody, or tell Broncos fans something they may not 605 00:25:49,908 --> 00:25:52,828 Speaker 8: know about Coach Payton from your experience, Well. 606 00:25:52,668 --> 00:25:55,748 Speaker 9: He's tough, very demanded, perfectionists. 607 00:25:57,148 --> 00:25:59,308 Speaker 16: You know when I went to New Orleans for that 608 00:25:59,348 --> 00:26:03,228 Speaker 16: brief time you knew who was in charge, and you 609 00:26:03,268 --> 00:26:05,708 Speaker 16: know he has a way about doing things and it's 610 00:26:05,708 --> 00:26:09,388 Speaker 16: probably unique to him. And you know, there's so many 611 00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:11,708 Speaker 16: different things that you know he's. 612 00:26:11,548 --> 00:26:12,268 Speaker 9: Really good at. 613 00:26:12,428 --> 00:26:15,828 Speaker 16: And one thing he told me early in the all 614 00:26:15,948 --> 00:26:18,588 Speaker 16: season was he thinks this is one of his better 615 00:26:18,628 --> 00:26:20,588 Speaker 16: teams that he's been able to coach, and. 616 00:26:21,068 --> 00:26:23,868 Speaker 9: It's showing up. You see them as a number one seed. 617 00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:25,468 Speaker 9: I don't, I don't. 618 00:26:25,788 --> 00:26:27,668 Speaker 16: I don't know if he's been a number one seed before. 619 00:26:27,708 --> 00:26:30,028 Speaker 16: Maybe down on New Orleans he was, I can't remember. 620 00:26:30,028 --> 00:26:33,308 Speaker 16: But it's been a long time coming. The Broncos haven't 621 00:26:33,348 --> 00:26:36,028 Speaker 16: been in this position in over ten years. So it's 622 00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:39,028 Speaker 16: been good to see the things he predict come to life. 623 00:26:39,188 --> 00:26:41,348 Speaker 16: And I'm proud to say I played for that franchise 624 00:26:41,388 --> 00:26:42,348 Speaker 16: and still root for him. 625 00:26:42,388 --> 00:26:43,948 Speaker 9: So, I mean, he's a great leader. 626 00:26:44,668 --> 00:26:44,868 Speaker 4: Yep. 627 00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:48,468 Speaker 6: Nothing I love more than guys that played the position, 628 00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:51,468 Speaker 6: whatever position it is, at a high level talking about 629 00:26:51,508 --> 00:26:54,028 Speaker 6: guys that are currently playing it, especially when it's the 630 00:26:54,068 --> 00:26:56,588 Speaker 6: same team, right. And so we're looking at Patrick Surtin 631 00:26:56,868 --> 00:26:58,708 Speaker 6: and what he's been able to do with the reigning 632 00:26:58,708 --> 00:27:00,828 Speaker 6: defensive Player of the year. What he's been able to 633 00:27:00,828 --> 00:27:02,828 Speaker 6: do with the cornerback position. Does he remind you of 634 00:27:02,908 --> 00:27:04,948 Speaker 6: Champ Belly? Does you have a different style in your mind? 635 00:27:04,948 --> 00:27:06,668 Speaker 6: What do you see when you look at certain. 636 00:27:06,988 --> 00:27:09,468 Speaker 16: Well, one thing is he's a lot bigger than that was, 637 00:27:09,748 --> 00:27:14,428 Speaker 16: and he stands about six to two, about two hundred plus. 638 00:27:16,108 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 16: I think you know he still has a young He's 639 00:27:18,588 --> 00:27:22,188 Speaker 16: still in his early days of his career, and I 640 00:27:22,228 --> 00:27:24,788 Speaker 16: believe when it's all said and done, he could be 641 00:27:24,828 --> 00:27:27,668 Speaker 16: one of the greatest of all time if he stays 642 00:27:27,668 --> 00:27:28,348 Speaker 16: on this path. 643 00:27:29,348 --> 00:27:30,628 Speaker 9: I got a lot of respect for him. 644 00:27:30,668 --> 00:27:32,908 Speaker 16: I told him last week I'm I'm his biggest fan, 645 00:27:33,588 --> 00:27:35,908 Speaker 16: so he knows how I feel about him. I believe 646 00:27:35,948 --> 00:27:39,508 Speaker 16: he'll be better. You reflect on both our careers. He'll 647 00:27:39,508 --> 00:27:44,108 Speaker 16: be better because he probably have a championship and. 648 00:27:42,908 --> 00:27:45,468 Speaker 9: So you know, I give him a lot of credit. 649 00:27:45,468 --> 00:27:48,548 Speaker 16: Man, the kid is down then he's the most consistent 650 00:27:48,628 --> 00:27:53,908 Speaker 16: player I've seen in the game all positions.

So what does this 677 00:29:15,228 --> 00:29:17,588 Speaker 2: movie shed light on in the current state of college 678 00:29:17,588 --> 00:29:18,308 Speaker 2: football today. 679 00:29:18,908 --> 00:29:23,868 Speaker 16: Oh man, it's the challenges that coaches face trying to 680 00:29:23,948 --> 00:29:27,268 Speaker 16: sign the best kids in the country. And you know, 681 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:30,548 Speaker 16: it's based off a lot of true events, you know, 682 00:29:30,628 --> 00:29:35,388 Speaker 16: in situations, from stories we've heard over the years, and 683 00:29:35,588 --> 00:29:39,148 Speaker 16: I gotta say, man, there are so many different things 684 00:29:39,148 --> 00:29:42,588 Speaker 16: that go into trying to get the best talent, and 685 00:29:42,628 --> 00:29:46,988 Speaker 16: you'll see a lot of that. It's always family, the neighborhood. 686 00:29:47,308 --> 00:29:50,348 Speaker 16: And then you're talking about a small town. This takes 687 00:29:50,348 --> 00:29:55,148 Speaker 16: place in small town Alabama country folks. I mean these 688 00:29:55,188 --> 00:29:58,508 Speaker 16: people everybody knows everybody, so it gives you a little 689 00:29:58,548 --> 00:30:00,628 Speaker 16: insight on I mean, I grew up in a town 690 00:30:00,748 --> 00:30:03,468 Speaker 16: like this where everybody knew everybody, and when there was 691 00:30:03,508 --> 00:30:07,308 Speaker 16: somebody from out of in town, everybody knew about it. 692 00:30:07,348 --> 00:30:09,108 Speaker 9: And they knew why they were there and what they 693 00:30:09,108 --> 00:30:10,068 Speaker 9: were all about. 694 00:30:10,268 --> 00:30:14,068 Speaker 16: In that conversation with Marshawn and Michael Moseley, who plays 695 00:30:14,148 --> 00:30:17,948 Speaker 16: Walt mcfennon, it's the epitome of what you deal with 696 00:30:17,988 --> 00:30:20,228 Speaker 16: as a recruiter going to these small towns. 697 00:30:20,468 --> 00:30:22,468 Speaker 9: And it's a really good story. 698 00:30:22,508 --> 00:30:26,508 Speaker 16: I think it'll resonate with anybody who's dealing with this 699 00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:31,508 Speaker 16: indirectly or directly you'll understand exactly what he's going through 700 00:30:31,548 --> 00:30:32,508 Speaker 16: trying to sign this kid. 701 00:30:32,788 --> 00:30:35,108 Speaker 5: Well, Champ, I'm sure you've been asked this question, because 702 00:30:35,148 --> 00:30:37,908 Speaker 5: I know that I have during a time before Nil. 703 00:30:38,068 --> 00:30:40,068 Speaker 5: I mean, you went to Georgia as an eighteen year old. 704 00:30:40,148 --> 00:30:44,628 Speaker 5: Would you have gone there knowing what this climate of 705 00:30:44,828 --> 00:30:48,108 Speaker 5: Nil looks like? And more importantly, would you have stayed there? 706 00:30:48,108 --> 00:30:50,388 Speaker 5: Because there's this transfer portal thing that it looks like 707 00:30:50,428 --> 00:30:52,828 Speaker 5: one year contracts for these young men that they go 708 00:30:52,948 --> 00:30:55,348 Speaker 5: one school jump to another school. How would you have 709 00:30:55,468 --> 00:30:56,948 Speaker 5: navigated that world back in your day? 710 00:30:57,708 --> 00:31:01,348 Speaker 16: Honestly, I'm not sure right, but I will say this, 711 00:31:01,748 --> 00:31:04,148 Speaker 16: I grew up a dog fan, you know, before I 712 00:31:04,188 --> 00:31:05,028 Speaker 16: eat and thought. 713 00:31:04,788 --> 00:31:06,988 Speaker 9: I could play at Georgia. I grew up a dog fan. 714 00:31:07,028 --> 00:31:10,588 Speaker 16: But also my older brother went to Georgia three years 715 00:31:10,588 --> 00:31:13,588 Speaker 16: before I did, so being able to go to Georgia 716 00:31:13,788 --> 00:31:16,068 Speaker 16: and play with him, and then also had my younger 717 00:31:16,108 --> 00:31:19,668 Speaker 16: brother come and I played with him. So there was 718 00:31:19,748 --> 00:31:22,068 Speaker 16: more of that family aspect of why I went to 719 00:31:22,108 --> 00:31:24,588 Speaker 16: Georgia and being a lifelong fan. 720 00:31:24,828 --> 00:31:26,908 Speaker 9: So I don't know if that would have changed things. 721 00:31:26,948 --> 00:31:29,348 Speaker 16: It probably would have hurt my value because they could 722 00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:30,948 Speaker 16: have underpaid me and I probably. 723 00:31:30,628 --> 00:31:32,228 Speaker 9: Still went, you know, because I. 724 00:31:33,828 --> 00:31:37,668 Speaker 16: But you know, when you throw money into the mix, 725 00:31:37,748 --> 00:31:41,708 Speaker 16: it clouds your judgment. So a young kid coming from 726 00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:46,228 Speaker 16: a small poor town, who knows what the money would 727 00:31:46,268 --> 00:31:48,388 Speaker 16: have done to my mind at the time. So I 728 00:31:48,428 --> 00:31:51,268 Speaker 16: can't say one way or the other. But it's hard 729 00:31:51,308 --> 00:31:53,668 Speaker 16: to take that dog out of me. So I would 730 00:31:53,828 --> 00:31:56,828 Speaker 16: always kind of lean towards Yeah, maybe I still would 731 00:31:56,828 --> 00:31:57,108 Speaker 16: have went. 732 00:31:57,348 --> 00:31:59,748 Speaker 4: I hear that and listen. First of all, always loved 733 00:31:59,748 --> 00:32:00,228 Speaker 4: the Boss. 734 00:32:00,668 --> 00:32:03,748 Speaker 8: Second of all, love that clip of Marshawn's a great clip. 735 00:32:03,748 --> 00:32:05,188 Speaker 4: I was riving at our ready just by that one 736 00:32:05,228 --> 00:32:05,668 Speaker 4: scene alone. 737 00:32:05,708 --> 00:32:07,388 Speaker 8: I want to see when he pulls up to the house, 738 00:32:07,388 --> 00:32:09,388 Speaker 8: if the station wagon is there, Like, I'm completely in. 739 00:32:09,668 --> 00:32:10,908 Speaker 4: I want to see that movie. 740 00:32:11,228 --> 00:32:13,028 Speaker 8: But Champ, I also I want to pivot with you 741 00:32:13,108 --> 00:32:15,948 Speaker 8: because you spent and then the movie does look fantastic. 742 00:32:15,988 --> 00:32:17,708 Speaker 8: That was an excellent clip to show on a talk 743 00:32:17,748 --> 00:32:19,308 Speaker 8: show because I want to see the next scene. 744 00:32:19,548 --> 00:32:19,868 Speaker 7: Champ. 745 00:32:20,028 --> 00:32:21,788 Speaker 8: You spent a lot of time with John Lynch when 746 00:32:21,788 --> 00:32:23,748 Speaker 8: you guys were both on the Broncos, all right, you 747 00:32:23,828 --> 00:32:26,468 Speaker 8: obviously know spent a lot of time with the Shanahan family. 748 00:32:26,868 --> 00:32:29,268 Speaker 8: You know, young Kyle, you knew Mike, Like. 749 00:32:29,468 --> 00:32:31,548 Speaker 4: What do you make of San Francisco right now? And 750 00:32:31,588 --> 00:32:34,668 Speaker 4: what are your memories of young Kyle Man? 751 00:32:34,868 --> 00:32:37,708 Speaker 16: You know, I didn't know Kyl very well, you know, 752 00:32:37,948 --> 00:32:42,508 Speaker 16: just just was around him at times, right, Yeah, But 753 00:32:43,068 --> 00:32:46,388 Speaker 16: I'll tell you what John Lynch playing with him I 754 00:32:46,468 --> 00:32:48,668 Speaker 16: called him in his last three years of his career, 755 00:32:48,988 --> 00:32:52,748 Speaker 16: and what a leader I mean by the way he prepared, 756 00:32:52,948 --> 00:32:56,548 Speaker 16: the way he worked, and you see that result on 757 00:32:56,588 --> 00:33:00,228 Speaker 16: the field because the talent that they accumulate, you could 758 00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:02,948 Speaker 16: tell he knows his stuff, you know. I don't think 759 00:33:02,988 --> 00:33:05,508 Speaker 16: they missed on a lot of guys, and it's funny 760 00:33:05,788 --> 00:33:08,828 Speaker 16: to see them in this position while dealing with. 761 00:33:08,748 --> 00:33:10,428 Speaker 9: All the injuries that they dealt with. 762 00:33:10,748 --> 00:33:13,988 Speaker 16: But the most consistent thing I would say that they've 763 00:33:13,988 --> 00:33:18,788 Speaker 16: gotten right is keeping CMC healthy. Like, as long as 764 00:33:18,868 --> 00:33:21,148 Speaker 16: McCaffrey's out there, they have a chance to win. 765 00:33:21,228 --> 00:33:23,548 Speaker 9: He's so dynamic, and they get it. 766 00:33:23,708 --> 00:33:27,548 Speaker 16: The decision to stick with Rock Party, I mean, that's 767 00:33:27,588 --> 00:33:30,388 Speaker 16: a lot of big decisions to go into a franchise 768 00:33:30,428 --> 00:33:32,628 Speaker 16: and him and Kyle Shanahan, I mean, they've been nothing 769 00:33:32,668 --> 00:33:35,268 Speaker 16: but amazing. So I'm not surprised that they're in the 770 00:33:35,268 --> 00:33:36,388 Speaker 16: second round the playoffs. 771 00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:37,468 Speaker 4: Brilliant stuff, Champ. 772 00:33:37,508 --> 00:33:40,268 Speaker 2: We love hanging with you.
