The drama is. 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: It's about the teams that did not. What was supposed 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: to be an underwhelming week for the NFL turned out 20 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: to be one of the more exciting weeks in recent memory. 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: Final week of the regular season you saw upsets, Jags 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: knocking off the Colts, t J. Watt tying Michael Strahan's 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: single season sack record, and one of the better Sunday 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: night football games of the year. Raiders and Chargers both 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: went into the game with a chance to make the playoffs. 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: There was even that scenario that they could both make 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: it if the game ended in a tie, but both 28 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: teams were planning to win, at least we think so, 29 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: and it made for some pretty exciting football. Thanks to 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: a Daniel Carlson field goal late and overtime, the Raiders 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: are now in the playoffs. But the conversation has to 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: do with the Chargers and Brandon Staley, their head coach, 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: calling a time out and giving the Raiders an opportunity 34 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: to run ten more yards getting in better field goal position. 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: But it's been a crazy year for the Raiders when 36 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: you look at everything this organization has been through interim 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: head coach Derek Carr, with what he's done, everything that 38 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: happened off the field, and I guess you could say 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: this has still been a successful season for the Raiders. 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: There was a moment last night, and I love when 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: you get an honest moment from broadcasters because a lot 42 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: of times you're trying to be fair, be down the middle, 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: but when the timeout is called. Last night, the Chargers 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: called the time out. Here's Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: reacting in real time to that call. This would be 46 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: a thirty second time out. What Yeah, the Raiders were 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: playing to get it down to either a field goal 48 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: or just let the clock brought out, and the Chargers 49 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: took the time out. I'm trying to process as much. Wow, 50 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: I know that started social media for hour ago. Mmmmmmmmmm. 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: Now how is the play by play guy? Your color 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: analyst might go mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Not sure about that. And then 53 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: Collinsworth jumps in as well, and then we have our 54 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: controversy because Brandon Staley does bring out people who either 55 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: love him or hate him with his philosophy and hates 56 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: his strong word, but he was trying to get his 57 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: defense set. Do I think the Raiders were playing for 58 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: a tie so both teams got in, thus knocking out 59 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: the Steelers? Did Brandon Staley think the Raiders were playing 60 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: for a tie? Rich Besachia, the Raiders head coach, on 61 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: that topic, At what point would you have decided to 62 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: just play for the tie and not try and field goal? 63 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: You know, we had conversations about it the whole, you know, 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: towards that end there. But if you remember, we ran 65 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: the ball early, they didn't call time out, so we thought, 66 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: probably they're doing the same thing. So we thought, if 67 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: we can have a run in there that probably possible 68 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: could get us in field goal position to win it. 69 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: We were going to do that. That's what we do. 70 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: So would you have kind of if you hadn't got 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: that big run, I don't know, it didn't happen. Here's 72 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, the Chargers head coach, on calling that time out. 73 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: I understand the criticism. We felt like we could get 74 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: the run. We felt like the personality grouping that they 75 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: had out there, they weren't in the goal line defense. 76 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: We felt like we had a plenty good enough you 77 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: know play call for that, and they took away the advantage. 78 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: Look and it just thn't go down for us tonight. Yeah, 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: you know what I'm watching in real time, I'm thinking, 80 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: why would the Raiders gift something to the Chargers A 81 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: team in your own division, why would you help them 82 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Also, if I'm the Raiders and I'm 83 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, I don't want to play the 84 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, who have blown us out two times 85 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: earlier this year. I'd rather take my chances against the 86 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Sinnati Bengals. And if I'm Brandon Staley, so why am 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: I thinking that they're going to take a knee? Because 88 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: if I think that they're going to take a knee, 89 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: then I'm not going to call time out and change 90 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: my personnel. Now I can probably nitpick on the personnel 91 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: that he brought in, or maybe the formation, the defensive formation. 92 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: But the Raiders got the first down, Jacob's runs for 93 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: ten yards, and then everybody wants to second guess. I 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: think people the old school has a problem with Brandon Staley. 95 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 1: The Chargers became the first team in the last thirty 96 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: years to convert on fourth down six times in a game. 97 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: They forced overtime, They scored fifteen points in the final 98 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: four and a half minutes a regulation, a game tying touchdown, 99 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: and the pat with no time left on the clock. 100 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: If you want to nitpick that, you know he calls 101 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: time out sorr he goes for it or what. I 102 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: don't understand all the criticism. I would have had a 103 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: problem if the Raiders were playing for a time, like 104 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: if the Raiders were taking a need to help a 105 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: divisional opponent, I'd have a real problem with that. And 106 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's talking about that. I guess 107 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: because it didn't happen. But the fact that they were 108 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: considering taking a knee to tie and you're gonna help 109 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: the Chargers, not the old Raiders. They wouldn't do it, 110 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: but I guess the fact that it was on the 111 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: table is really surprising there. But I don't have any 112 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: problem with Brandon Staley. Now I don't like the analytics. 113 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: I'm not a big analytics guy, but I understand you 114 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: trust your team, you're gonna go for it on fourth down. 115 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: They were successful six times. But it feels like her 116 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: felt like earlier this year. I think it was after 117 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: the Kansas City game. Is basically that the old school 118 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: doesn't understand what we're doing and they turned on him. 119 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: And I think that it's almost the I'm smarter than 120 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: you tone that maybe some of the writers, reporters, analysts 121 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: have taken away from him. I don't have any problem 122 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: with that. I have a problem I don't get to 123 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: see Justin Herbert playing the postseason. That's my biggest takeaway 124 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: from that. I want to see Justin Herbert play. But 125 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: it feels like we're guilty of piling on Brandon Staley 126 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: because he took a time out. If I'm the coach, 127 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm not thinking you're going for time Who goes for 128 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: a tie like you want to win? If the Raiders 129 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna go for a tie, then why are you 130 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: passing the ball? Paulli? Do you have the plate chart there? Yeah, 131 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Four minutes left, the Raiders had the ball 132 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: and they got it down field. But after the two 133 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: minute warning, After the two wine warning, the Raiders ran 134 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: for a minus one yard and then seven yards to 135 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: set up the third down. Some people thought in that 136 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: moment that the Raiders not passing on second down to 137 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: try to get in field Gollatory meant that they're shutting 138 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: it down. That's what some people are saying is at 139 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: that second down run, even though it's seven yards, Oh, 140 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: they're not trying to get the get in field.

Also, Carson Palmer will join us a 145 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: little bit later on as well. Colts, Chargers, Browns, Ravens, Saints, 146 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: All Out, Raiders, Steelers, Eagles, Niners. In every year, it's 147 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: normally four in and four out from the previous year. 148 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: So if I said, hey, you know what, at the 149 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: end of the year, these teams are going to have 150 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: this in common. Colts, Chargers, Browns, Ravens, Saints Out. Ravens 151 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: were one of the top five teams for the Super Bowl. 152 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: Odds wise, Saints won thirteen games. Last year, the Browns 153 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: Browns were to go to the AFC Title Game. Colts 154 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: had seven Pro Bowl players. The problem is they have 155 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz and that's a big issue because you gave 156 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: up a lot, You took that contract off the hands 157 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: of the Eagles. How do you have seven Pro Bowl 158 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: players and you're not in the postseason. And then you 159 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: have the Chargers. You know the Chargers tease they I 160 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: mean for years I always looked at the Chargers to go, Man, 161 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: that's a that's a team that could win the Super Bowl, 162 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: and every year they gave you that. Man, they are good, 163 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: they're dangerous, they're interesting, they're fun, and they're all of 164 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: those things. But they're still the Chargers. And you saw 165 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: that last night. They they just tease you so much. 166 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: And I love the quarterback. Uh you know the fourth 167 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: quarter comeback? Is that? I mean, that's that's what you want. 168 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: There's no quit We're gonna make the playoffs. You know, 169 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into overtime. I don't have any problem 170 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: with Brandon Staley. I don't. I would have the fact 171 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: that the Raiders were considering taking a tie, I have 172 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: a problem with it, but I found that out after 173 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: the game. But you can hear Chris Collinsworth and Al Michaels. 174 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: I think they were under the impression the Raiders were 175 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: playing for a tie. But I just wonder how the 176 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: rest of the NFL would have reacted if the Raiders 177 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: played for a tie last night. I would love to 178 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: have seen a camera, you know, when we have March Madness, 179 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: when you have this smaller school and they're waiting to 180 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: find out who they're going to play, and we have 181 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: the camera on them. If you had the Steelers in 182 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: an auditorium and you had a camera on them as 183 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: they're watching that game because they know that if there's 184 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: a tie, they don't make the playoffs, and then Ben's 185 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: career is over with. I would love to have had 186 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: a camera there just watching them watch the game. And 187 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: then you go to that fourth down call or you 188 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: go that you know, all of a sudden, they're gonna 189 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: run it after a timeout, Yeah, Pauli. The whole Steelers 190 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: team jumps out and starts screaming, and Ben goes, oh yeah, 191 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: let me get up here. Yeah, gonna take me a 192 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: little while to get up there with you guys. Oh yeah. 193 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: So Colts, Chargers, Brown's, Ravens, Saints out Raiders, Steelers, Eagles 194 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers in Oh, by the way, National title 195 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: game coming up tonight Georgia and Alabama. Here's here's the 196 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: analogy I'm gonna use now. I'm gonna watch it. Okay, 197 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: it's my job. But have you ever had this happened before? 198 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: You have a huge lunch and you get done, and 199 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: then your wife goes, what do you want to do 200 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: for dinner? And you'll go, I just had lunch. Well, 201 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: we just had lunch. Over the weekend, a big lunch. 202 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: We had football on Saturday, we had football on Sunday, 203 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: Sunday night, go back to work, and then it's a man, 204 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm still full. Hey, national title game coming up tonight 205 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: and this is gonna go after midnight. I'm sure that 206 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: there's analytics TV analytics that hey, you got the standalone 207 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: Monday night game. But this feels like this game should 208 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: have already been played, and by the way, it has 209 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: already been played a month ago with Alabama roughing up. 210 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: George Fritzie is doing the honors of the poll question 211 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: because nobody else wants to do it. Will do you 212 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: do you have a couple of poll questions? We do 213 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: have a couple of polls. Okay, all right, most disappointing 214 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: NFL team this season, including the Browns, Cults, Ravens, Saints, Seahawks, Vikings. 215 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: That's one. Okay, hold on, hold on. Now you have 216 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: w H I s H. Do you see that on 217 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: your poll question? Wish road team has the best gents 218 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: to win their first round game? It does say wish 219 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: should I Okay, just if we get to that one, 220 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, I get it. We would have to correct 221 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: the spell and I did win a spelling being third grade, 222 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: I should have caught them. Yes, but you cheated, didn't you? Well? 223 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: I said capital asked for Saturday when my friend just said, 224 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: say so, that was kind of a weak way. Okay, okay, 225 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: so um, I like that poll question. The most disappointing 226 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: team is that what we're going on with? Okay, run it, 227 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: run down the options again, Grounds, Colts, Ravens, Saints, Seahawks, Vikings. 228 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: Most disappointing NFL team this season? Yeah, we forgot about Seahawks, 229 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: but they've been eliminated. It felt like, you know, six 230 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago. I mean, there's some teams that are really yeah, 231 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: I mean the Giants are never a punchline, rarely a punchline. 232 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: They're a joke. And I said this a couple of 233 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and I think your guy's reaction was what, 234 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: I think the Jets have a right or future than 235 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: the Giants do. And first of all, that's not hard 236 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: to do. But the Jets, I at least feel like 237 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: they have a little more promise. I'd like to see 238 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: a little bit more from their quarterback before giving a 239 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: definitive answer on his future and their head coach. But 240 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: watching the Giants yesterday, and I'm not sold on Joe. Joe. 241 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: Judge watched too many movies of you know, football coaches. 242 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: In fact, he would be good in a in a 243 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: role as a coach in a movie, but not in 244 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: the NFL. Like they ran a third down like a 245 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: victory formation in third down inside their ten. It was 246 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: third down in nine, and I went, what do you do? 247 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: This will surprise them? My guys, what are we doing? 248 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: What are we doing? Then the previous week he went 249 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: on eleven minute rant talking about that you're not you know, 250 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: a joke and yes, it's a total rebuild. Yeah. Patrick 251 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes just said that he thought one of his players 252 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: was gonna pull a Daniel Jones and Fallow. I know 253 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: that's not big of a joke. They are. Yeah, yeah, 254 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: Polly growing up again. I'm not from New Jersey, but 255 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: Giants are one of those tough tickets and sports. To 256 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: get New York Giants home games are impossible. They have 257 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: season ticket lists, all that stuff. And when the Washington 258 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: football team comes to town, that's a good game for 259 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: the Giants. There's empty seats at Giant Stadium last night. Yeah, nutty, Yeah, 260 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: all right, A lot to talk about your phone calls 261 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: are welcome. We'll get to those coming up.

Today, Bears have fired Matt Nagee, The 297 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Vikings have fired Mike Zimmer. That was during the commercial break. 298 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Vic Fangio has been fired by the Broncos. I don't 299 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: know who Joe Judge, I guess is on the warm seat. 300 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a hot seat. Matt Rule 301 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: is going to be brought back in Carolina. Anybody else 302 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: waiting on their fate? Paulie I don't know. But Schefter 303 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: posted about Matt Naggie being fired in Chicago. He didn't 304 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: put breaking it's nine. It was like he's writing a sentence, yes, 305 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: it's not breaking. Mike Zimmer's breaking news. Bears fans I 306 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: think probably got up this morning. He's like, wait a minute, 307 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: he hadn't been fired yet, Like what are we waiting for? 308 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: But so the Bear's opening and you've got an opening 309 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, which job would I want to have? You're 310 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: also now, are the Raiders going to fire their head coach? 311 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: If you make man boy? If it's true that Jim 312 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: Harball might be the guy now, I'm also hearing that 313 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: the Dolphins would be interested in Jim Harball as well, 314 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: But it feels like it's more Raiders and Dolphins if 315 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: Jim Harball wants to leave, not the Chicago Bears. But 316 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't know who. If the Bears are going to 317 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: make a run at Ryan Day at Ohio State, but 318 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: I was told yesterday by a sours you know, Harball 319 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 1: will be in demand because there aren't a lot of 320 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: great can it's out there now. Todd Bowles maybe gets 321 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: a chance. Dan Quinn is probably going to be the 322 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: leading candidate in Denver, And I think that's what's interesting 323 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: to watch is whoever gets that job, who's the offensive coordinator? 324 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: Because if you're truly going to make a run at 325 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you've got to do something that is going 326 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: to be appeasing to him. If you're going to do that, 327 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: And maybe the Broncos aren't, maybe they're going in a 328 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: different direction. But I was told yesterday by a source, 329 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: dan Quinn will be the leading candidate for the Broncos job. 330 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: But keep an eye on who would hire the offensive 331 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: coordinator there, Yeah, PAULI. With Zimmer being fired Vikings, that's 332 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: gonna be really frustrating. Four years ago, you're a couple 333 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: plays from the Super Bowl and they had the tenth 334 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: best offense in the league under a basically a free 335 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: case Keenum. He didn't cost anything. They decided that to 336 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: keep them an upgrade air quotes to Cousins, they had 337 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: the fourteenth ranked offense in the league and all they 338 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: had the number one ranked defense. Four years ago, they 339 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: couldn't sign all the guys because they spend it on Cousins. 340 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: Now they have the twenty fourth ranked defense. That's wild. 341 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: You know, this is where numbers lie because if I 342 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: look at Carson Wentz this season or Kirk D. Cousins, 343 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean they're good, they're good numbers, but they're just numbers. 344 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: You want to know if you're a quarterback with a 345 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: game on the line, he'll win that game for you. 346 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had twenty seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. That's 347 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: great on a running team. That's great, it's complimentary. Kirk 348 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: Cousins had thirty three touchdowns and seven interceptions. That'll get 349 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: you into the Pro Bowl. But does he feel threatening? 350 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: See that's that's the thing with these numbers. How many 351 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks do you go? That guy, that guy we got 352 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: to worry about. He can beat us and I I 353 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: you know, Kirk D. Cousins doesn't. Is not threatening Carson Wentz, 354 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: how do you have seven Pro Bowl players and the playoffs? 355 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: Let's bringing Lewis Riddick. He was on the call for 356 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win over the Eagles, and he'll once again 357 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: be alongside Steve Lee b Bryan Greasy. First ever Monday 358 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: Night Wild Card game Cardinals Rams kick off a week 359 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: from today at eight fifteen Eastern on ESPN, ABC and ESPN. 360 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: Do you want to start with the firings here, Naggie. 361 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: In Chicago you got Mike Zimmer getting fired Vic Fangio. 362 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: Out of those three jobs, which one is the most attractive? Wow? Man, 363 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: you know, I think Chicago obviously, because they have a 364 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: young quarterback in place that everyone will say, Okay, well look, 365 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: I mean every coach, right, Dan, You know that they 366 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: go into situations going and well, I'm gonna be the 367 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: one who builds it from the ground up, and I'm 368 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the savior, I'm gonna be the next thing. 369 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the guy. Well I mean, And most 370 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: times they connect that with having a young quarterback who 371 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: they feel as though they can take to the kind 372 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: of levels that really are, you know, commensurate with being 373 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: a championship caliber football team. And I think a lot 374 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: of people look at justin fields like that. I think 375 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: the issue in Chicago will be how do they revamp 376 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: the front office? Do they revamp the front office starting 377 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: from the level right below ownership on down, and how 378 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: do they stock it with football people? So to speak? 379 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: Although I don't like necessarily using that term, let me 380 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: just put it this way, that people who really do 381 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: understand what coaches need in order to be successful, what 382 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: front offices need to be successful, do they do that? 383 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: If they can do If they do that, I think 384 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: everybody will be lining up at the door to try 385 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: and get that job. In Minnesota is stocked. I heard 386 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: what you were just saying. This is a good football team. 387 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: That's some really good players that has they have a 388 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: system in place there in terms of the style of 389 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: players that they have that they that they've acquired. On 390 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: the offense, that's a zone running team, real good running back, 391 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: all world young wide receiver, a quarterback who can play 392 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: winning caliber football. But you're right, there's going to be 393 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: some people who go, but can Kirk really be that guy, 394 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: that whole seasoned guy that can make that it can 395 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: allow me to win games at the highest level, which 396 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: is ultimately what coaches need to do. Defensively, they got 397 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: banged up this year, but they still have people who 398 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: can rush the passer. They got young, they got fast, 399 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: aggressive linebackers. They need to revamp the secondary. That's probably 400 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: right there. That's probably job number two. The third one, 401 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, being Denver right now, the issue there is 402 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: they have no quarterback, zero winning caliber defense. Still need 403 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: to continue to build out the offense, but no quarterback 404 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: at all. But in a great city, a team that 405 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: right now is undergoing Obviously it's some changes from at 406 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: the ownership level, which will scare off some people too 407 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: because you just don't know how that's going to transition. 408 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: But I think that's how it would stack them Chicago, Minnesota, 409 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: Denver in terms of coaches who probably are looking for 410 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: a situation where they can really build it from the 411 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: ground up. Those are That's how I would probably prioritize. 412 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: And then you throw the giants in there and maybe 413 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: they stay with Shoe Judge. I mean, I'm not here 414 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: to lobby for somebody to be fired, but if you're 415 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: going to replace the GM, it just feels like that 416 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: coach could be in a tenuous situation there, and I wonder, 417 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, say Quon Barkley, Daniel Jones, Gettleman, your GM, 418 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: Joe Judge, it feels like that might be one big 419 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: broom that you use there with the giants your thoughts. Yeah, 420 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: I've always thought then that's the way you should go 421 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: when you're doing those kind of things, when you when 422 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: you're okay, when you're trying to reset an organization and 423 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: you're trying to get your get your footballation operation back 424 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: on track, it's really hard to discern. Okay, well, whose 425 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: fault was it that I need to now make a change? 426 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: Was it the coach? Was it the GM? Was it 427 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: the scouts? Wasn't the offensive coordinator? Was it the special team? Like? 428 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: What's going on? It's hard man, And see right now, 429 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: everyone excused my language here, but everyone's in ask covering 430 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: mode right now. So the GM's going to point to 431 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: the coach. Coach is going to point to the GM. 432 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: Coach is going to point the offensive coordinator, offens accordinate 433 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: is going to put point to the defensive course. And 434 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: you know what that, to me is how you erode culture. 435 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: That's how you erode the concept of team. And honestly, 436 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: when you're resetting a place, you should reset the whole 437 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: thing and say this GM and this coach, you guys 438 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: are together, because when it comes to building out a 439 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: football operation, Dan, look, you know that it's about it's 440 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: about it's about scouting and evaluation. Then it's about acquiring 441 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: that valuing that talent and acquiring it, and then it's 442 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: about development and utilization and all three of those things. 443 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: When you're building a football operation, the head coach and 444 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: the GM have to be like this. So how can 445 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: you separate it out then and go, well, it's the 446 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: GM's fault, but the coach is not at fault. Or 447 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: it's the coach's fault, but it's not the GM's fault. 448 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: That's a loser's proposition to me, and I think they 449 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: should go, as painful as it would be for the 450 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: marriage and the tissues, to do that again is probably 451 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: what they need to do. We're talking to Lewis Riddick 452 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: of the Mothership. He of course analyst for Monday Night Football. 453 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: Brian Flores just got fired as the Dolphins head coach. 454 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: Oh wow, man, things are happening fast. Man. While I'm 455 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: sitting there talking. I'm a big fan of Brian Flores. 456 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: Then I'm a big fan of his, and I got 457 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: to know him a little bit this year. We got 458 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: to do you know, their game. Just a couple of 459 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago down to New Orleans. They seem promising. But I, 460 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: as I mentioned about fifteen minutes ago, Lewis, I was 461 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: told that if Jim harball, you know, the Raiders would 462 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: have interest, but the Dolphins would be the other team, 463 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: not the Bears. And that's what I wonder now. I 464 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: don't have any information other than a source said to 465 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: me yesterday. Everybody keep talking about Jim maybe leaving to 466 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: go to the Raiders, keep an eye on the Dolphins. Well, 467 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching the Dolphins play and they're beating the Patriots, 468 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, they had a great second 469 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: half here, watta was great. You got to decide on two. See, 470 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: this is where it doesn't become It doesn't really become 471 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: objective at this point. Now, it just becomes about subjective 472 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: and personal desires, wishes, feelings, wants of the owner. That's 473 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: really what it comes down to. You and owners. Look, 474 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: they own, coaches, coach, players play, and when owners own, 475 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: they can do whatever the heck they want. And if 476 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: if they have personal feelings and personal desires to work 477 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: with certain individuals, they'll just they don't have to. Well, 478 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: quite honestly, they don't have to justify to anybody. But 479 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: you don't fire unless you know who you're gonna hire, right, 480 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: I think, right, you know what, Yeah, you would say that, 481 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think in the perfect world, yeah, But 482 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't think quite honestly, I don't think a lot 483 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: of owners really think that way anymore, because, yeah, they 484 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: may know who they're gonna hire, who they're going to 485 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: try and go after, But I don't always think that 486 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: they really think this stuff out really rationally. I think 487 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of this really happens emotionally, and I think 488 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, as human beings, we know that sometimes it's 489 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: just becomes personal. It's just about, Look, I don't want 490 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: to do this any more. I want to go this direction. 491 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: And if you write the checks and you own the team, 492 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: you can do that. And we know that Stephen Ross 493 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: has a connection obviously as being a Michigan alum with 494 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: coach Harball. I mean that that's easy. That's an easy 495 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: connection to make, and he can throw at him whatever 496 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: money he needs to throw at him and give him 497 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: total control to everything. So I'm assuming right now, as 498 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking, Chris Greer still employed the general manager. 499 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: I think right now Ryan Pace was fired as the 500 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: GM with the Bears two minutes ago. See there were 501 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: many see that you know what, though, but that's what 502 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: they needed to do. So now I do believe that 503 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: that becomes job number one that people would want. Now 504 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: we don't know what's happening with Ted Phillips, who's also 505 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: there in the front office, but I think that becomes 506 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: job number one because of justin fields and down there 507 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: in Miami. Look, you'll find people who like too as 508 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: some people who don't. Some people will want to know, well, 509 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: what's going to be the plan as far as that's concerned. 510 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: Are you guys really into Deshaun Watson sweet steaks? Do 511 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: you like to do you like too? Well? Yeah, I do. 512 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: If you were the GM of the Dolphins, you'd keep 513 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: to it. I would right now. Yeah, that would be 514 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: my plan right now for sure. But if you could 515 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: get new Shawn Watson, you know what, I don't. I 516 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: don't know that. Look, there's a lot about that that's 517 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: non football related that for me. Look, I just can't 518 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: brush off and go, well, I'm just going to think 519 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: about this from a football perspective and the and ignore 520 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: all that other stuff. You're going down like an avenue 521 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: there that has so much unknown and I'm just not 522 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: one of those guys who really believes that you can 523 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: just sell your soul just for you know, to try 524 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: and win football games and kind of just put on 525 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: the back burner all those other things. I've never been 526 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: like that. Even in all my years in front office, man, 527 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: I used to have some real heated arguments with people 528 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: about the character of certain individuals as it relates to 529 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: their football ability and whether or not they were good 530 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: fits for what we were trying to do. Really, I 531 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: want to book you for next season the Monday after 532 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: the final rank Alder season game nine twenty turning, and 533 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: then I'll just tell you all the firings in real 534 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: tire you. This has been fun, man, I mean, you're 535 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: breaking who's left. I was gonna have you on to 536 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: talk to you about the Chargers strategy here, but uh yeah, 537 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: I um you know, full disclosure here. I have a 538 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: problem that the Raiders thought about taking a knee and 539 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: and a tie with a divisional opponent, Like I don't 540 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: have any problem with Brandon Staley calling a time out 541 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: to change his personnel because I'm thinking you want to 542 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: beat us, not day Let's just kumbai yah man, handshake tie. Yeah, 543 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: I agree with you there, I agree with The more 544 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: I think about it, the more when I heard his 545 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: explanation as to what he was trying to do, I 546 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: get it. He was trying to win the game. If 547 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: you want to have a problem with Brandon, then you 548 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: should probably rewind the tape and go back to some 549 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: other situations, maybe like going forward on fourth down, backed 550 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: up in your own territory, inside your own funny. I mean, 551 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: maybe you want to get mad at him, getting mad 552 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: at him for that, and plenty of people are Yeah, 553 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: and I can have a problem with that, But don't 554 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: you want a coach who believes in you. Now, he 555 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: might say he doesn't believe in his defense, therefore he's 556 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: always going for it with his offense. But it feels 557 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: like Brandon Staley has rubbed the old school the wrong way, 558 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 1: Like he's bringing in analytics and hey, we don't need 559 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. We have too much of it 560 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: in baseball. Yeah, there's there's no doubt. Look, this has 561 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: become something that has become highly emotional and it's becoming 562 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: us versus them type of thing, which is kind of 563 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: ridiculous because really there is a sweet spot in the 564 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: middle where data is your friend. And it can help you, 565 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: and you do need to be for thinking. There's no 566 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: doubt about that. There's no doubt. And it's not just 567 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: an in game decision making. It's in terms of kind 568 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: of structuring your whole football operation. Data is powerful. It's 569 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: a very useful, too useful tool. But man, people have 570 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: really picked side poster boy like for being the whipping 571 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: boy as far as this is concerned. Right now, yeah, 572 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: I know who should who should make a change in 573 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: the quarterbacking position? The Colds of the Browns. Uh, the 574 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: Colts can't, although they should, but they can't. The Browns. 575 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: You know what, I would ride with this fifth year 576 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: option with Baker right now. I would until I see 577 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: what my next best alternative is. I don't think either. Look, 578 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: the Colts can't make a change, so they're stuck. But 579 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: with the Browns, I would hold tight right now because 580 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: you've got them next year for just under nineteen million 581 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: bucks or for this year and now that we're in 582 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and then you just see how this 583 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: goes in the offseason and whether or not you can 584 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: upgrade the position. Great appearance, Lewis, I appreciate it. This, 585 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: This has been good I mean ast and curious.

And I said 635 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: to my sours that job is going to be open. 636 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: And I was told yesterday if Jim Harball is interested, 637 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: that job will be open.

Have a good date, all right, 649 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: thank you? What was it the Raiders if they took 650 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: the tie, would knock the Raiders adopt the Steelers out 651 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: of the playoffs? Well, I mean, are we going back 652 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: to bad blood with the immaculate immaculate reception? So you 653 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: want the Steelers out, but you would want the Chargers in. 654 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: The Steelers wouldn't scare me, Chargers would scare me. I 655 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't want the Chargers to get in. Now, I don't 656 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: understand that. I don't the fact that you would play 657 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: for a tie and let a divisional opponent in. I mean, 658 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: imagine if the Raiders did that last night and they 659 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: played for a tie, what would what would we be 660 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: talking about today that the Lions had a reason to 661 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: play for a tie they didn't or play for a loss. 662 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: I should say yeah. Season. And there are a lot 663 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: of people on social media, like NFL analyst expert types 664 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: who were like, Neil, you cowards do it like all 665 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: this thing like whoa this in from Jeff Darlington from 666 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: the Mother's ship. While I realize many are assuming Flora's 667 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: departure is tied to Harball's potential availability, I can assure 668 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: you that is not the case. The Dolphins are not 669 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: targeting Jim Harball. Per sources. The decision to fire Flores 670 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: is entirely independent. It doesn't mean he's not a possibility here. 671 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: But I was told that, you know, keep an eye 672 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: on the Dolphins as well as the Raiders for Jim Horball. Yeah. Seton. 673 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: You get the sense too that Brian Flores isn't going 674 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: to be unemployed very long. I like Brian Flores, I do. 675 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: I know that they started off poorly. I think they 676 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: reached on two a tongue of Byeloa. Wattle has been 677 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: great this year at one hundred and two catches. You know, 678 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: it's just a faceless franchise, and I think that's what 679 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: they're trying to get. Do they get to Shaun Watson? 680 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: Do you get a big name coach here? But Flores 681 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: is out. I'm surprised. Terry in New York. Hi, Terry, 682 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey Dan? How are you doing today? 683 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: Good sir, good good.

Look for sol terrific atmosphere. 697 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: But man, those guys have flat laid a goose egg 698 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I think Frank Reich. Frank's got 699 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: to take some of the responsibility for that. I mean, 700 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: you've got the best running back in the league in 701 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, and you've got to throw the ball on 702 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: third and fourth down to get a first down. Good God, 703 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: A mighty I hang hang in there, Tone, all right, 704 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: you've got seven Pro Bowl players and you're not in 705 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs.

Best of the weekend was my football team 708 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: and my dog with nothing to play for. And worse 709 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: of the weekend now is Brian Laura's getting fired. I 710 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: don't like that decision. And then we got a couple 711 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: of Dannetts to have a pie of the face coming. 712 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: We had a bet for JJ Watt over under sacks 713 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: for the season, and he had one who who had 714 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: the bet with you?
