Speaker 1: Zone Pouches. Just watched the you Survive and Advance because

4
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: that is exactly what they did, and that's all you

5
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: gotta do in the college football playoffs. Survive in advance

6
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: and the University of Miami will host the national championship

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: in South Florida. That's pretty cool. Awesome moment for all

8
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, the Michael Irvins and the Ray Lewis's Mario

9
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: Christobal who played with those guys way back in the day. Obviously,

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: huge night for just a storied program who'd fallen on

11
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: hard times and is now rattle off three big victories.

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Survived by the skin to their teeth tonight though they

13
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: were in shambles there for a while. Great night, prideful

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: night if you're an old miss fan. Sucks to lose,

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: but incredible run Trinidad Keewan Lacy. It was fun. So

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that game. The Miami Dolphins fired their

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: coach Mike McDaniel today. I think all signs now it

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: feels like point to John Harbaugh as their next head coach.

19
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: That seems like the most logical move given they just

20
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: fired their coach. On a Thursday. A little weird had

21
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: a Fugazi with the University of Washington quarterback because it's

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: Fugazi Friday. But he's actually not leaving contenders at the night.

23
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: He's he's gonna return. So we'll discuss that as well

24
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,520

29
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: I think Jackson will join me. Jackson went to the

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: game that I just saw. He posts on social media.

31
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: He was interviewing Michael Irvin as they were walking off

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the field, so he's enjoying himself out in Glendale. More

33
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: power to him making that drive. But what a night

34
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: to be there. Cool night to see that game, and

37
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: wherever you listen, we got you covered. So let's dive

38
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: into some football. What a massive moment for the University

39
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: of Miami. This was a program when I was a

40
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: kid in the late nineties, early two thousands. By far,

41
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: I would say, when I was probably like elementary, junior

42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: high going into high school, the best athlete in northern

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: California was DJ Williams. And back it wasn't that long ago.

44
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people the best recruit stayed

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: semi locally. Like if you were a great player in California,

46
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: you went to UCLA, you went to USC maybe went

47
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: to Oregon or Washington. He was so good he went

48
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: to the University of Miami. I mean this was this

49
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: was like two thousand or two thousand and one. And

50
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: I ended up, you know, when high school played against

51
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: his brothers that ended up playing at Cow. But I

52
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: just remember thinking like, that's like an NFL program, and

53
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: they were the coolest thing I would say in America

54
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: when I was young, and even up through high school,

55
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: heading in you know, early on into college in two

56
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: three oh four range, and then they just haven't mattered

57
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: that much. And tonight for Mario to rattle off games

58
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: against two SEC schools and you know, win that game

59
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: last week against Ohio State, that there is no disputing

60
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: his team is built a lot like an NFL team.

61
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: They're fantastic on the line of scrimmage, they have somewhat

62
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: of a game manager at quarterback. It looked like they

63
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: got Tyreek Hill at eighteen years old playing wide receiver.

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: They got fantastic running back. They got an NFL defensive linemen.

65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: I thought that they were working all missed throughout the game.

66
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: The problem was is the score was like seventeen to thirteen,

67
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: nineteen to seventeen, that they could never extend the lead

68
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: they were losing in the fourth quarter. They had they

69
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: dropped four interceptions, They had a bunch of penalties from

70
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, offensive linemen holding from offensive linemen jumping off sides.

71
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Clearly they were gassed from targeting penalties, which nothing grinds

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: my gears more. These guys are eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old.

73
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: The majority of them are not gonna be first and

74
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: second round picks. For most of these guys, this will

75
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: be the pinnacle of their athletic career. Even if they

76
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: go to the NFL. A lot of them might be

77
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: like a practice squad guy or whatever. These guys are

78
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: starting in the final four college football in an NFL Arena,

79
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: wh twenty thirty million people watching on TV. No one

80
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: at this point in time is trying to hurt anybody.

81
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: All these guys are so fast. Everyone knows the rules

82
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: at this point in time. They've been coached from Peewee's

83
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: to not lead with their crown of the helmet. This

84
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: is not you know, John Lynch and Steve Atwater and

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: guys like that, cracking skulls. So I'm not even against

86
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: throwing a penalty. They're the rules. You're trying to get

87
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: rid of the concussions, mitigate these lawsuits. But to kick

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: these young kids, these guys are kids out of a

89
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: game is just it's like criminal activity. To me, it's insanity.

90
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy. I the first year, I understand it,

91
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: But when I watch that, I'm like, you're kicking this

92
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: guy out of the game and he's got to miss

93
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: the first half of the National Championship game. It really

94
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: makes me mad. And some of these to me, like,

95
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: these aren't like blatant, vicious hits. These are just whambam.

96
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: Guys are moving guys, changing body positions. But everything felt

97
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: like it was kind of unraveling for Miami, and you

98
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: look up they dominated the time possession. They were running

99
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: the ball down old Missus throat. But the one thing

100
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: you will say about the running ReBs is there was

101
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: like a cockroach thing to them, like it was hard

102
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: to kill them. It really was. Even early in the game,

103
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: it felt like, could Miami just strangle these guys out?

104
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: It kind of and I was texting some people kind

105
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: of had like a Seattle forty nine or dry feel

106
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: to the game. Like the first five six minutes, you're like,

107
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: one team is just way more physical. They're just gonna

108
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: physically overwhelm them. Then all of a sudden, Kiwan Lacey,

109
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: who he'll be an NFL player one day, he's only

110
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: a true sophomore, takes one seventy plus to the Crip

111
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, you just can't count these guys out.

112
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: And obviously as the game goes on, the best part

113
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: about Miami is the reason I put a decent You know,

114
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: I was supposed to cash out all my winnings from

115
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Mike Parlay, but I got a little gambler in me

116
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: so threw a little on Miami. Problem was I got greedy.

117
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: I didn't take the three and a half. I went

118
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: to four and a half to get better odds. Obviously,

119
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: they only won by four, so that sucked, but I

120
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: didn't deserve it because honestly, Miami could have easily lost

121
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: this game. You can't have and listen, they mentioned this

122
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. There's typically a reason defensive backs play

123
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: that position and not wide receiver. There's a small percentage

124
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: of guys like Dion Sanders or whatever. They obviously could

125
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: have done both. Most of the guys their hands aren't great.

126
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: But like at the highest levels of Division one and

127
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: the NFL, there are certain interceptions that you and I

128
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: should be able to make. In Miami, they dropped four,

129
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: but two of them were ones I think high school

130
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: kids make. I mean, those are ones that in the

131
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: film room the DV coach is gonna look at the

132
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: guy and be like, how does this happen? And it

133
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: can't happen in moments like this because listen, you're in

134
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: the final four, you're playing the ole. Miss is really good.

135
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: That they really are situational football. Their offense is really explosive,

136
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: that their defense is just feisty, their D line, I mean,

137
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: Saban was talking about Perkins the pass rusher before the game.

138
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: He's really talented coming off the edge. It feels like

139
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: they just played much better as a unit than they

140
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: are as like individuals beside him. But I think Miami

141
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be like, we played like shit, we did

142
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: not play well and if we played a team, listen,

143
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: this is why I like Miami a lot. In this game,

144
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: I thought they were just way more talented. They just

145
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: have way more NFL guys, especially on the line of scrimmage.

146
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: The other thing is you could argue Ole Miss's best

147
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: NFL prospect beside Perkins might be Lacy and he he

148
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: got you know, he had a hamstring injury. Hell, he

149
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent in the previous game with the shoulder,

150
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and then today, you know, he puts on the sleeve

151
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: and they're working him out at halftime. They kind of

152
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: used him as a decoy in the second half. But

153
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this is this tournament is

154
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: like the NCAA tournament Basketball survive in advance, so you

155
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: can coach them up, you can figure out the mistakes later.

156
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: You had more points than they did at the end

157
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: of the game. And Carson Beck, who is a very

158
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: bizarre player because he can make individual throws from the

159
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: pocket that are like, damn, that is a great drive.

160
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Throw over the middle, like that is a great just

161
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: let it rip, step up in the pocket. He hit

162
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: a deep bomb to day that was scramble into his

163
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: right kind of you know, step back in to avoid

164
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: the pass rusher, let it rip him and the guy

165
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: who was wide open. But it was it was a

166
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: really nice play. And then he makes other throws like

167
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: on some of these out routes. He doesn't have a

168
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: bad arm by any means. I wouldn't say he's Caleb Williams,

169
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: but some of these out routes and some of these

170
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: down the field throws his like lob touch. It's just

171
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: very bizarrer. I don't know what to make of him.

172
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he showed enough over the course

173
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: of these big games, like he's going to get drafted

174
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: on the third day though, but he came through in

175
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: the clutch when it mattered, made some big throws, has

176
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: made some big runs tonight the previous couple games, keeping

177
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: plays of lives with his legs. They talked about it

178
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: on the broadcast that the OC has been showing him

179
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: NFL film me he's a big and trying to teach him, like,

180
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: you can fall forward and gain an extra yard or two.

181
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: So if you're scrambling on second and five, it can

182
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: be the difference of you falling down three yards and

183
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: gaining that extra two yards and getting a first down.

184
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: He's doing a pretty good job of that. He's clearly

185
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: a pretty tough guy, but he made some big plays

186
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, like it'll be

187
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: a very memorable moment in the history of I don't know,

188
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: one of the more sacred programs of this great sport

189
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: of him running that ball in at the end of

190
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: the game. Now, part of it is old missus completely gassed.

191
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: They had been on the field. I think the snap

192
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: before they said eighty eight snaps so close to ninety snaps,

193
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: and that you took advantage of it. They did a

194
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: good job on that final drive, scored a touchdown with

195
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: only eighteen seconds. Because the other thing, even if the

196
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: other team doesn't have timeouts in college football, unlike the pros,

197
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: the clock stopping when you get a first down is

198
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: really can shorten the game. It's also why like when

199
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Trinidad threw the touchdown, I think there were Miami got

200
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: the ball back with three minutes and thirteen seconds. Well,

201
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: they also had timeouts that might as well be six

202
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: or seven minutes when you factor in the clock, stopping

203
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: at first downs, like the college game just goes a

204
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: lot slower that way. So I don't blame Trinidad at

205
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: all for letting it rip. I mean they went sixth

206
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: plays seventy five yards in a minute fifty one seconds

207
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: to gain the lead twenty seven to twenty four. You

208
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: can't nitpick it at that you're just trying to score.

209
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: But they left him a lot of time and Miami

210
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: did a good job. And part of it is because

211
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: they can run the ball of you know, driving down

212
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: the field, mixing in some runs and scoring with eighteen

213
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: seconds left. And even that being said, Trinidad had a

214
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: pass with six seconds left, you know, from forty yards away.

215
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: So I do think that it was a fun game.

216
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: It was extremely entertaining, partly because Miami kept him in

217
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the game by doing stupid shit, part of it because

218
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Ole Miss stays in the game because that's who they are.

219
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: And the other thing is this eighteen year old kid,

220
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Tony the number ten for Miami. He is a special player.

221
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: It's different. But remember last year when we saw Jeremiah

222
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Smith in every game you'd watch Ohio State, and he's

223
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: playing with at the time a Meccha a Buka, who

224
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: was a first pick. Tate is going to be a

225
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: first round pick. I mean, he's playing with elite talent.

226
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of other guys are gonna get

227
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: drafted him his whole team. He played on an NFL team,

228
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: He's like, that guy's the best player on the team.

229
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: That's what I felt like, especially to night. I mean,

230
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: they obviously Messador and you know Bain is a top

231
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: ten pick, but they didn't do that much tonight. In

232
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: terms of the pass rush. I don't remember Trinidad really

233
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: getting pressured by them very often. I don't remember Baye

234
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: on Trinidad in the backfield at all from a pass

235
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: rush standpoint. The best player on the field tonight from

236
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: Miami was the running back Fletcher, who's I mean a

237
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: big time player. He's he's really good. He had twenty

238
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: two carriacster for one hundred and thirty three yards. But

239
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Malachi Toni's five for eighty one do not do justice

240
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: what we just witnessed. His presence on the field, the

241
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: catch he made that was out of bounds. I don't

242
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: know if he's quite as fast because Tyreek is. I

243
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Besides, like Randy Moss or Deon Sanders, like

244
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: one of the fastest players in the history of the

245
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: sport of football. Tony's play speed though, is elite. And

246
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: some guys and this is what to me makes special players.

247
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: When we talk about the all time great players, you

248
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: can go position by a position. There's like an instinctive

249
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: quality to their ability. They're just like, this guy was

250
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: just born to play football. And when you watch ten,

251
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: you're like, this guy was just born to play football.

252
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: He was a three star recruit. Now, sometimes you can

253
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: get you know, undervalued in certain areas for whatever reason,

254
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: which is crazy being a kid from Florida. But he

255
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: is he's elite. I mean, he had ninety five catches

256
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: this year. If they are able to get their version,

257
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean people have been like, well, can they get

258
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith, who's also from Florida, get him a transfer.

259
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: That's probably not happening. But find another guy who can

260
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: just be you know, a draft type pick right a second, third,

261
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: fourth round or to go along with him, they will

262
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: have an unstoppable wide receiver corp because he is gonna

263
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: be right there with Jeremiah Smith next year. Is the

264
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: best two wide receivers in the country. He is a dominant,

265
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: dominant player. I've been from the jump. When they played

266
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and he was a true freshman. He played

267
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: and he's like, God, this guy's pretty good to where

268
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: he's at now, Like, I'm the best fucking player on

269
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: the field. You guys are the best team in the

270
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: SEC right now. I'm gonna run circles around you guys.

271
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: And he feels like he's getting open NonStop. Their scheme

272
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: in plays for him, that sweet CFL play when they

273
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: ran him on that on the motion and he got

274
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of depth and he's beat the guy to

275
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: the side. You're like, God, this guy is this guy

276
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: is sweet. So that was really really fun to watch him.

277
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Him and Fletcher tonight were just we're pretty special for

278
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Miami because defensively, like they weren't as good as the

279
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks that they simply weren't and some

280
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: of that could be maybe ole Missus tackles clearly held

281
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: up better. Trinidad gives much more mobility then Ohio State's guy.

282
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: If olemiss was able to pull this off. It's not

283
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: apples to apples because before the transfer portal, this never

284
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: would have happened. These schools didn't have personnel departments funneling

285
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: tape to coaches to just look at all these kids

286
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: at playing at all these schools, you know, from D

287
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: ONEAA to D two. It just this guy never would

288
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: have ended up in the SEC. But I still don't

289
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: think that diminishes what an incredible accomplishment it is for

290
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: this guy to go Division two and a year later.

291
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: It's one thing to even just get an offer to

292
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: go to the SEC, then end up starting and be

293
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: on a team that had a lead in the final

294
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: four with under four minutes to go against a team

295
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: with probably ten to twelve starters that are going to

296
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, like going to get drafted. That and he's

297
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: every bit as good as anyone on the field. I

298
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: mean that final drive in really all night. He's always

299
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: looking to go deep. He's really accurate on the move,

300
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: he's tough as shit. That there were points in time

301
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: in this game when clearly Lacy's banged up. I mean

302
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: he only had eleven carries, and if you remove the

303
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: seventy yard run, he only had ten carries for thirty yards,

304
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: So it's not like Old Miss could really run the ball.

305
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: It really fell on his shoulders and he had to

306
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: make plays against you know, multiple guys that are gonna

307
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: get drafted, a bunch of front seven guys that can

308
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: fly and hit. It's like, yeah, I'm every bit as

309
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: good as these guys, and it looked like that. So

310
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: it's weird, right if you're Old Miss, You're thinking we

311
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: had a lead to go to the National Championship with

312
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: under four minutes to go. Yet at the same time,

313
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: it's like that was a miraculous season and when Lay left, you,

314
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: you know, it became this kind of crazy story and

315
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: rightfully so clearly everyone thought you were gonna be too Lane,

316
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: but after that, like it was gonna be over. Not

317
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: only was it not over, you beat Georgia, you easily

318
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: could have beat Miami. It's one of those I think

319
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: they're probably the one team of the four that if

320
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: you lose this game, you'd kind of hold your head high. Right,

321
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: If Miami lost this game, it would have been devastating.

322
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: It would have been tough to shake. For Mario, It's

323
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: like you dominated on the ground, pretty sure, you dominated

324
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: time was time possession forty to eight, forty one to eighteen.

325
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: It would have been you know, Mario's team had ten penalties.

326
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: It's like you dominated the game. Should have had four picks.

327
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: You had the ball for forty minutes. Somehow you had

328
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: six more penalties in them and honestly, it felt like

329
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: fifteen more penalties. This would have been one for Mario

330
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: where even Sez fans would agree. You've got the better team.

331
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: You are physically dominating them. How do you lose this game?

332
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: But no one can say shit, It's part of surviving events.

333
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: You win. I'm in the Natty playmaker ray Lewis Edger

334
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: and James Reggie Wayne, fire up that PJ and we'll

335
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: see you down. Where's this game in Miami. It's gonna

336
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: be a huge home field advantage for those guys. I

337
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: was much more confident on my I thought Miami might

338
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: blow them out. I almost I was looking at some

339
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: alternate lines. At like nine and a half, you get

340
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: like plus two twenty five. I'm like, that's a little bold.

341
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I just went to four and a half. But there

342
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: are points in time, like if they just get a

343
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: touchdown here, like they take an eleven point lead. You

344
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: can kind of smother them, but that's not really Miami.

345
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna blow out the good teams.

346
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna play in games. I mean all three of

347
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: their games have kind of looked somewhat similar. They're all

348
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: really close. If a bounce goes here, bounce goes there,

349
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: it could go the other way. And some of that's

350
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: Mario And listen, I'm not saying he's not doing good job.

351
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: He's doing fantastic. He's resurrected this program. But he kind

352
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: of felt them getting tight there for a little bit.

353
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: Maybe there was a little fatigue the offensive lineman part

354
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: of it. You run the ball so much. But if

355
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: Miami had lost, it would have been devastating. Like that

356
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: crew of all the legends, it would have been tough

357
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: for them to hit the town to night in Scottsdale.

358
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: That being said, Scottsdale better watch out because the Playmaker

359
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: and that crew they're coming. So the clubs in Old

360
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: Town buckle up, and honestly, the runn of Revs probably

361
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: coming too, and they should. It should be celebrated. Pete

362
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: Golding and what he was able to do with all

363
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: the guys leaving was pretty incredible and the fight and

364
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: the heart this team showed the last couple of weeks.

365
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: I mean last week they were down nine points a halftime.

366
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: This week that will scorse seventeen to thirteen and a half.

367
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: It was seventeen thirty at half in Miami. Their kicker,

368
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: who feels like Adam Vina Terry or Justin Tucker in

369
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: his prime, missed a kick, had another one that goes

370
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: off the uprights. Miami's got missed a kick two. This

371
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: field can be a little weird. I mean, clearly it's

372
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: it's not great. Honestly, I hate everything about this stadium.

373
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: It's out in BFY and Glendale, paying the ass to

374
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: get to it looks pretty good on TV, but I've

375
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: never the field always feels just not great. Remember a

376
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: couple of years ago with the Eagles and Chiefs, they

377
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: hated the field. I do think there's some some situation

378
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: there with the owners kind of cheap. I mean, he's

379
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: probably getting cheap grass, refusing to pay for water. But

380
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: from an entertainment standpoint, it was really entertaining and Trinidad

381
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: is one of the coolest stories in college sports in

382
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: a long, long time. Division two to starting at quarterback

383
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: for a team in the Final four college football and

384
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: that team's not Alabama, that's ole Miss. I mean, I

385
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: had people texting me like, how do you do this?

386
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, the starter that replaced Jackson Dark got injured.

387
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: Then he came in, they started rolling and he just

388
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: never pulled him out. And clearly his running and he's

389
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: got a big arm. I mean, he's not very big,

390
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: but his touch on the move is just his elite

391
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: he was. He's really really fun to watch and clearly

392
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: he's trying to get another year of eligibility because one

393
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: of the years at fair State, I think one year

394
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: he read shirt in the other year he was injured.

395
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: So he's fighting it. We don't have clarity there. Hopefully

396
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: for an entertainment standpoint, he gets it, because I do

397
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: think that'd be pretty cool. You know, Lacy's already committed

398
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: to come back. Kickers committed to come back. Trinidad is

399
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: committed to come back as long as he gets it.

400
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if ole Miss is back in this spot,

401
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: but if Trinidad gets granted another year of eligibility, they're

402
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I mean, Lacy's clearly one of the

403
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: best running back in the country. Trinidad is clearly one

404
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the country. You just play

405
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: in a lot of close games when you're in the

406
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: big tanner of the SEC. They have this weapon, a kicker,

407
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: so I mean their coach. One of the cool visuals

408
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: in the pregame was Pete Golding, Like when he got

409
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: hired at Alabama, he just had this brown, curly hair.

410
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: Now he just I mean it's all gray. Shows you

411
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: what the SEC will do to you. Meanwhile, you look

412
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: at Mario, he looks fantastic. But that was fun, really

413
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. I hope tomorrow's game is just as

414
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: entertaining close, even if it's some penalties and some interceptions.

415
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: I mean, the one interception on Carson back was not

416
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: necessarily his fault. The ball gets tipped and they catch it. Meanwhile,

417
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: miamim he's got to be like, how do my dbs

418
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: can't catch? And the answer is, yeah, they can't catch

419
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: because some of these are just like Willie May's dropping

420
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: in their hands. They're dropping them. I mean, the one

421
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: deep bomb that Trinidad threw that bounces off the dB

422
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 1: and the wide receiver to twenty four literally right in

423
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: his hands, and it's not like it's flying. I mean,

424
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: it's just it's a little lob right into his hands.

425
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: It just hits the ground. That was by far the

426
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: worst one. Now granted that would have been at like

427
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: the ten or five yard line, but still that was rough.

428
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: But Miami's in the National Championship. We'll see how they

429
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: came out health wise. Messidor got injured, but he came

430
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: back in the game. They lost Loft in the tight

431
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: end when he got smashed across the middle. There there

432
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: were some big hits in this game. Miami was laying

433
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: the wood. Ole Miss was was hitting. Ole Miss was good.

434
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, I think I was guilty of being like,

435
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, Ole Miss is kind of like the little

436
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: engine that could. They have a good offense, but their defense,

437
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: the defense not bad. Their front pretty good, pass rush linebackers,

438
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: tackle well, even though they missed some tackles to night.

439
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: I think miss tackles has been a problem for him.

440
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: But they're also I mean, look at the teams are

441
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: playing and their defensive like their safeties hit corners, try hard,

442
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: they play their ass off. So that that was they

443
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: earned a lot of as someone that bet against them, tonight.

444
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: I leave that game with a lot of respect and

445
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Miami makes me nervous. They definitely have the high end

446
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: talent to win the national championship. There is no disputing that.

447
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: When you can run fifty times for two hundred yards,

448
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: control the ball on the on the ground. Obviously it

449
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: will be more difficult against Indiana or Oregon, especially Indiana,

450
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: but that's what they're gonna do. Like they're going to

451
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: run the ball and both. I mean, Fletcher's really good,

452
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: but the backup running back was running his ass off.

453
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: Like that's that's their formula. Run the ball, control the clock,

454
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: play like an NFL team, play like Seattle, play d So.

455
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: I just think at home, it's going to be a

456
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: crazy home game. Very very cool night for you know,

457
00:25:54,040 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: once very proud program. Today's show is brought to you

458

487
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: we had some breaking news today that Stephen Ross I

488
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: assumed just because everyone that covers the sport was like, Yeah,

489
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's coming back, and then Monday goes by, Tuesday

490
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: goes by. By the time you get to Wednesday, you're

491
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: not even You're like, yeah, I just think he's coming back.

492
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even think they were gonna announce it. They

493
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: were just kind of out of side, out of mind.

494
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: And then to this morning when the news breaks, everyone goes, WHOA,

495
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: what does that mean? And then you realize, like, yeah,

496
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna want John Harbaugh and Steven Ross has tried

497
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: for a long long time to get big name coaches

498
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: to take his job for a long time, specifically Jim

499
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: Harbaugh multiple times, and has never been able to land him.

500
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: And his advantage now over all these other teams. He

501
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have a general manager because well before he fired Mike,

502
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: he fired his GM in the middle of the season,

503
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: so he has a clean slate. It's the only organization

504
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: that can offer that because the New York Giants, which

505
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: feel much more like John Harbaugh, right, they feel much

506
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: more presidential, buttoned up. I mean they haven't been buttoned

507
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: up on the field, but in terms of the weight,

508
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh has some like Tom Coughlin type vibes. But

509
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: here's the problem. When they fired Brian Daboll, they didn't

510
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: fire Joe Shane and if anything, they've doubled down like

511
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Joe Shane's or got Now. Part of it is the

512
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: owner has cancer and I think he's in the middle

513
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: of treatment right now, so firing him maybe would make

514
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: things a lot more complicated if you trust him to

515
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: run the process. But at sixty three years old, John

516
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: Harbaugh has the opportunity now because of the leverage he possesses,

517
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: he can say no, I don't want to work for

518
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: that guy. Help. Last year, Liam Cohen told the Miami Dolphins, yeah,

519
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm not working for Trent Balky. Now here's where the

520
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: Jags realize, Okay, Trent to see. You don't think the

521
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna do that, though I think they should

522
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: if you could get John Harbaugh and listen, I'm not

523
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: wanting to like just give all the power to the coach,

524
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: but John Harbaugh wants to go tandem with another guy

525
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: from the Ravens. And there is not another organization in

526
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: the league that I trust more their scouting department and

527
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: the guys that have learned under Ozzy through DaCosta than

528
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: that organization. And John's smart. He's at a front row

529
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: seat for eighteen years how to run a personnel department.

530
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: And he's not gonna work for Joe Shane. So unless

531
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna fire Joe Shane, he's not gonna

532
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: be there. I googled John Harbaugh's resume because I was like, obviously,

533
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: he's been in Baltimore for eighteen years, and he was

534
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia before that, and I never crossed Bass. He

535
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: was gone before I got there, but he showed up

536
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia in nineteen ninety eight. So from nineteen ninety

537
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: eight till Tuesday, he has spent his entire professional life

538
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and Baltimore. I forget. I mean, I've made

539
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: the drive before, but it's not very far apart. And

540
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Baltimore is actually a little colder than Philadelphia.

541
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: Both of them miserable, freezing winners. Not an enjoyable experience.

542
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: I wonder if Miami, when you're sixty three years old,

543
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: when you've made a lot of money, think how many

544
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: people over the last decade twenty years migrate from New

545
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: York area, Philadelphia area, Washington area down to Florida. Why

546
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: has some advantages? One winners or paradise. Two you don't

547
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: have to pay any taxes. Three for him in Miami,

548
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: kind of just a chill job. Not that much pressure.

549
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: When you take the Ravens job, it was winter, go home.

550
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: When you take the Eagles job, it's winter or go home.

551
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: You take Miami job, go to the playoffs a couple of times.

552
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: Everyone be happy. Haven't won a playoff game since two thousand.

553
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty six. It's twenty twenty six. I was

554
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: fourteen years old the last time the Miami Dolphins won

555
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: a playoff game. I'm forty fucking one. So if you're

556
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, not that much pressure. And I've been saying

557
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: this theme over and over a lot of these guys,

558
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, part of his brother, this thing that he's

559
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: really chasing. He's trying to win the Super Bowl. Like

560
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: John doesn't really have that hanging over his head at all.

561
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Knock that bad boy out a long time ago. Now,

562
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: obviously he would like to win another one, but you

563
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: can't really argue, like just from a job standpoint, night Listen,

564
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: I get it. If you're him at six three years old,

565
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: when you're as rich as him, you're like, I'm not

566
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: just gonna go and create some relationship with Joe Shane

567
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: when he's proven nothing, Like I'm not in the I

568
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. I don't have to do that.

569
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: But they do have players on their roster. You look

570
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: at Miami, they're gonna have to cut a quarterback that

571
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: is owed a ton of money. Last time I checked.

572
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Their roster is not exactly loaded. The cupboards aren't exactly full.

573
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: So it actually has some I would say parallels to

574
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: what Sean Payton had to do in Denver. Now it

575
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: did feel like Sean Payton again. Also Super Bowl champ

576
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: had this big chip on his shoulder. And listen, maybe

577
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh will pissed off that he got fired and

578
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: will just be driven that division. I mean, Josh Allen's

579
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Mike Vrabel, Drake May, they're not going anywhere.

580
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 1: The Jets might be like a high school team, but

581
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: the other two teams are pretty damn good. Last time

582
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: I checked. They want to combine like twenty five games.

583
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: Drake May probably gonna finish second in the MVP. Josh

584
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Allen is the reigning MVP. Kind of a problem when

585
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback. So it's one of those jobs,

586
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,239
Speaker 1: like it's not easy to figure that out. You can

587
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: always go we will try to figure it out. Yeah,

588
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: great in theory, but it would be extremely challenging. And listen,

589
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe he wants a nice challenge. Well he gets some

590
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: sweet house on the beach in South Florida. Wouldn't blame

591
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: him at all. I hate the cold. I don't know

592
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: how these guys do it. I mean, I get it,

593
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: they're getting paid a lot of money and they get

594
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: to coach sweep teams in the NFL. But I for

595
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: all you guys living in the cold, I mean, it's

596
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: it's like fifty two degrees in Scottsdale right now. It's

597
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: so cold. I can't feel my hands or my feet.

598
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 1: I've never liked it, but I just think that it's

599
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: pretty clear. And I'm Jeff Darlington, who knows Miami pretty well.

600
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: That organization was like, they didn't fire Mike McDaniel to

601
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: just hire John Harball. I mean, come on, guys, what

602
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: are we talking about? They fired him to hire Armasala.

603
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: And I also think this. You know Mike McDaniel, who knows.

604
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some more organizations that I don't.

605
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear. Don't really know what they're doing, but

606
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: he is gonna be extremely coveted, and there are a

607
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: ton of They's already been reported. Dan Campbell's called him, obviously,

608
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: he knows Dan Quinn well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need

609
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. There would be teams lined up to

610
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: hire Mike McDaniel, but he just signed an extension last year.

611
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's I'm just gonna guess nine ten million dollars

612
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, So he doesn't even

613
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: need to worry about money in a weird way. He's

614
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: on a easy street. And that's I've been mentioning this

615
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: theme for a while. I talked to a lot of

616
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: coaching buddies who are a little like position coaches. They say,

617
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: you'd be shocked how often guys like just do not

618
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: give a shit if they're fighting. How many human beings

619
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: do you know they're making this much money. It's like

620
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: most of us are always on edge because, hey, if

621
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: this goes sideways, we're in trouble. Well, if you know

622
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: you got twenty million, thirty million, forty million, if shit

623
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: hits the fan and tomorrow head hits the pillow every night,

624
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: pretty you don't have them with much anxiety. Stress levels

625
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: are pretty low. So it's gonna be fascinating how this

626
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: all shakes out. Wouldn't shock me at all. If the

627
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: Miami and Harball thing, if that's the way it plays out,

628
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of sexier entitled than it actually plays out

629
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: to be, because it's be a challenge to turn that.

630
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: It'd be a massive challenge to turn that around. When

631
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh got hired for the Baltimore Ravens, google some

632
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: of the guys on the roster. One of them was

633
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: at the game to night, same was ray Lewis. Were

634
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: of the greatest players I've ever seen. Ed Reed not bad.

635
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: Terrell sucks like they had dudes on that defense. They

636
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: had to get a quarterback where they drafted Joe Flacco

637
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: right away because they had a high pick. There's no

638
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco in this draft. This quarterback draft sucks. Now.

639
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: You can say maybe next year, maybe a couple of years. Yeah,

640
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: things change, but you never know. There's no guarantee. So

641
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: I guess my if I'm betting man right now, I

642
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: just kind of expect John Harbaugh to go to Miami

643
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: because I don't expect him to work for Joe Shane.

644
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: And if they're not gonna fire Joe Shane, then he's

645
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: not gonna work there. And he's not gonna work at

646
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: Arizona or Tennessee or Cleveland. So and I could see

647
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: one of those type places hired Mike McDaniel, which I

648
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: don't really think is the head coach, but I don't

649
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: blame the guy if someone offers him head coaching job

650
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: for taking the head coaching job, I guess we'll get

651
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: out of here on this. It's Fugazi Friday, and my

652
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: Fugazi was gonna be the quarterback at Washington. His name,

653
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: Desmond Williams was signed a contract for four million dollars

654
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback at Washington last year. But here's

655
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: the thing I've learned this. I guess I kind of

656
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: knew this, but I've watched so many podcasts and read

657
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: some articles. These aren't employment contracts. So if I signed

658
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: a contract as a college football player for a million dollars,

659
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: that's just them giving me a million dollars for like

660
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: my image and likeness. Right. It's not an employment contract

661
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: like most of us have with whoever we're in business

662
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: with or work for. So that's where the gray area

663
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: of like, are any of these contracts binding? And Doug Hendrickson,

664
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: who actually represents a lot of coaches and players, tweeted

665
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: out today and I know Doug a little bit that

666
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: he dropped him. He just like, I'm out of business.

667
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: He also represents jet Fish, so when he did that,

668
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, this thing's going to get really ugly.

669
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: And obviously, if you're Washington, you know in the transfer

670
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: portal you can sign multiple wide receivers, multiple alignment. You're

671
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: only signing one big quarterback, especially at these prices, So

672
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: once you sign your guy, you stop looking at all

673
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: the other guys. And if you're willing to pay millions

674
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: of dollars for your guy. Well, if you didn't have

675
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: a guy, you would definitely be in the market for

676
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: the top guys because you're paying a premium. So they

677
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: were completely fucked, I mean, and they knew it. It's

678
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: why they immediately start leaking out. We are gonna go

679
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: to war, We'll go to court. And the funniest part

680
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: about this is that Lane Kiffin was involved. The kid

681
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: was gonna go to Lane Kiffin, which is hilarious. And

682
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: they were clearly gonna sue LSU sue the kid. They

683
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: were gonna have to. We're gonna have a choice. And

684
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking about today, do you know what's funny

685
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: is like in the NFL something like this happened. It

686
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: never would Teams don't sue other teams because they're all

687
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: business partners. Right. They might hate each other on the field,

688
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: like the Ravens and the Steelers, but when the Roonies

689
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: and the Bashatties they all see each other at the

690
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: owner's meetings, they're all friends, you knowhy because they're all

691
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: getting rich together. That's not the way in college football.

692
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: Because I was thinking, like, do you think LSU Because

693
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: my first thought was like, oh, Lane's gonna be a

694
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: pain in the ass. Real You think LSU's administration, nil people,

695
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: their management gives a crap about the University of Washington.

696
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: You think they give two shits about Jedfish. If Lane

697
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: wants this quarterback and he's able to get this quarterback,

698
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: let's sign him. We don't care what his situation is

699
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: in Washington. And that that's the problem. That's the old

700
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: fugazi with college football. You have these the two most

701
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: important conferences, the big ten in the SEC, that they

702
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: don't even care about screwing each other, let alone inside

703
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: the conference. We've seen with Old Miss and LSU, the

704
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: business is all out of whack because no one's working together.

705
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: And I at first, I kind of wanted to defend

706
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: the kid because I was thinking if I was nineteen

707
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one years old, I would probably and have

708
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 1: people offering me this much money. I would think rules

709
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: didn't apply either. Why would you? I mean, I remember

710
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: getting parking tickets like when I was in college at

711
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I would just throw them in the trash,

712
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: throw them in. I wouldn't even care. You have to

713
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: understand young men's minds. I saw a lot of like

714
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: older big J's like, I understand the chaos that is

715
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: going on, and this is a bad look and embarrassing,

716
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: and clearly the agent was didn't love it. But I

717
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: think we underestimate, like there's a lot of responsibility for

718
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty year old guys to think they were like ramifications.

719
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: Why would he think there were ramifications. They've never seen

720
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: ramifications in their life. They've dominated football. This guy's offering

721
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: me money. This guy's offering me more money. See you,

722
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: They see it with coaches doing it all the time.

723
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they So obviously it looks like he's going

724
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: back to Washington. He's like, oh my bad, I'm sorry

725
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: back guys. And I also think in this day and

726
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's gonna care. I really don't. It's

727
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: one of those things. It was probably a big deal

728
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: on social media. If he goes back, it'll all be

729
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: forgotten in a couple of weeks and Lane will deny

730
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: it and everyone will just move on. So one of

731
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: the biggest it was gonna be an all time just

732
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: story that feels like it went away. And other than that,

733
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: I did watch F one last night. It was fantastic.

734
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: It was excellent. I don't talk about a fugazi. They say, like,

735
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: age you look worse and get into your sixties. My

736
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: wife looks at me, She's like, how does Brad pittstill

737
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: look so good? I'm like, damn, I don't know. He's

738
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: a good looking dude. I'm like, Maria, how old do

739
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: you think he is? I was gonna guess, like fifty five,

740
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: guy's sixty two. Now I get it. You get work done,

741
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: but he some guys get work done, especially at that age,

742
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: you can really tell, like can't really tell he looks

743
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks like he's like forty eight. It

744
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: looks fantastic, but excellent movie. It's kind of a throwback

745
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: Jerry Bruckenheimer, who did a lot of the Sweet movies

746
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: in the nineties, especially Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise

747
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: back in the day. It's kind of like a twenty

748
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: twenty five version of that with better graphics, just similar,

749
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: kind of better story a little bit I guess, still

750
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: a little cheesy, but it was. It was an excellent watch.

751
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: So I've actually roofman f one seen two good movies

752
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: in the last week. I'd go months without finding it

753
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: to go. I mean, I subscribe to like seventeen services.

754
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: Just looking around, it's like there's nothing to watch, and

755
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: whenever you find a good movie, you feel. Now, this

756
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: is a movie everyone's been talking about, but I would

757
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: highly recommend it. God, I just I will. I'd pay

758
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: good money to look twenty percent as good as Brad

759
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: Pitt on his worst day at forty five as he

760
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: does at sixty two. So congrats to the University of Miami.

Speaker 1: wife's I take that out. I'm like, eh, you know

784
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: my Davil on Miami tonight. And before we dive into

785
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: the question, so many of you guys have fired me

786
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: the video Instagram reel of the video of the conspiracy

787
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: that's going around about the forty nine ers that they

788
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: practice next to this power plant, which the power of

789
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: that plant, the whatever it emits is bad for like

790
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: muscles and tissues and directly correlated with all the forty

791
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: nine ers injuries. This guy went as close to get

792
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 1: used some contraption to get the power of it. It's

793
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: way above the legal limit. It went viral on Instagram

794
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: and went viral on Twitter slash x. Clearly it's out

795
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: there and people have been kind of alluding to this

796
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: for a while. I'm no scientists, got a couple degrees,

797
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: They're pretty meaningless. Never used them a day in my life.

798
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: All I can say is from experience, I've been going

799
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: to practices there since Jim Harbaugh, Vic Vangil Bowman, Willis

800
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: Frank Gore now so, and they've been practicing there I'm

801
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: pretty sure well before I ever got involved in this business.

802
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: I think since like the late Walsh days. So they

803
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: have been situated down in this area of their practice

804
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: facility for decades. Now. They move the stadium from Candlestick,

805
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: which is very very close to San Francisco. I technically

806
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: it's in San Francisco, but like up toward north of

807
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: the airport, and obviously they're practice cility now is just

808
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: right next to Levi Stadium. This video goes viral. My

809
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: only take would be clearly in the last ten years,

810
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: and definitely of the Kyle Shanahan run which started in

811
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, where they've led the league in injuries. You

812
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: would imagine the power, the focus we have in society

813
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: of everything we use has never been higher coming from

814
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: this place. But I can't pretend to know if that's

815
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 1: the reason, you'd be crazy to go. Is this something

816
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: that the forty nine ers have to look into this?

817
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 1: And if they already haven't, they just don't have a choice.

818
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 1: Then they got to look into this. Now what they're

819
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 1: out like, where are they gonna go? Are they gonna

820
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: move their practicacility because of this? I think if you

821
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: could prove that this is the reason or a factor,

822
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd have a choice. You couldn't continue

823
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: to practice there now. And the other thing is the

824
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: forty nine ers practic facilities are not like state of

825
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: the art, right, They're very old. I think they've redone them,

826
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: like updated them, kind of like a remodel. But this

827
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: is not some brand. This isn't the Jets, this isn't

828
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: the Rate, this isn't a brand new facility. Yeah, that's

829
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: my thoughts. There love stories like that, though. Okay, let's

830
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: just dive in mail back question. Not a Giants fan,

831
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: but I'm super impressed after looking at dart stats fifteen

832
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, nine rushing only to five interceptions and a

833
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: couple of fumbles, all without neighbors, a functioning head coach,

834
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: and a run game. I know he's injury prone, but

835
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: what's been your take on him? He reminds me a

836
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of Baker Mayfield in Cleveland with the fire and

837
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: passion he plays with, but a lot more athleticism and

838
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: less turnovers. Interesting to hear your thoughts. I'll be honest,

839
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks the Giants were unwatchable. It's

840
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't even think you can take anything away from it,

841
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: good or bad. Over the course of the last three

842
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: or four weeks in his before he got the concussion

843
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: that knocked him out for a couple of weeks, which

844
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: kind of ended day Ball's career. I think you saw

845
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: everything you wanted to see from a physical trade standpoint.

846
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: I think one key with Jackson Dart is his skill set.

847
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: He's a dual threat quarterback, not like in the sense

848
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson. But let's few now, Caleb is much

849
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: more physically gifted, but he should be playing like that.

850
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: Get him on the move, roll him out, use his

851
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: legs to continue drives. I think the next coach like

852
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: he is not just gonna sit in the pocket and

853
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: dice you up right. That's not really not saying that

854
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: he can, but to me, part of what Ben Johnson

855
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: did and listen, he had to kind of adapt. Sometimes

856
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: he's gotta let Caleb cook. Now, Caleb has proven to

857
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: be pretty durable. The dark thing a part of it.

858
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: One of the concussions came. They were running like quarterback power,

859
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 1: like he's Cam Newton. I think there's a fine line.

860
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: But he is a dual threat player and his athleticism

861
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be a huge part of his game. So

862
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: we'll see. Obviously, there are a lot of rumors with

863
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: coaching potential hires. Looks like John Harbaugh probably more likely

864
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: to go to Miami because they're not gonna get rid

865
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 1: of the GM Stefanski. I do think one thing if

866
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: Stefanski were to get the job and implement kind of

867
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: his version of the Shanahan type offense, is that utilizes

868
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: the athleticism of the quarterback on boots on nakeds gets

869
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: him on the run. Obviously, the running game is gonna

870
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: be huge. Hopefully Scataboo can come back and be fully healthy,

871
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: but they do have a bunch of pieces there. I

872
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: think he's pretty interesting prospect, that's for sure. Now, I

873
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't put much stock into the stats. Their games have

874
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: just been meaningless for a long long time. And like

875
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 1: you said, the coaching turnover, it was hard to even

876
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: watch him and there'd be games where he looked bad,

877
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't really hold that against him. So I

878
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: think I saw enough early on in the season when

879
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: they had some structure that went there's a lot to

880
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: work with there. There's a lot to work with there.

881
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the implemation, the implementation of whatever scheme

882
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: they do for him. If you get the wrong scheme,

883
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: you can make players look really really bad. Look at

884
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: Darnald like they let him move kind of like that,

885
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: like let him use his Like look how good Donald

886
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: is O'Connell with Seattle, Like get him on the move.

887
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: But I don't want him running like he's not Lamar

888
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: and he's not not as smart as a runner as Caleb,

889
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: which coach you think is a good fit for the Raiders.

890
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: Hard boss to Fanski or even Tomlin, congrats on becoming

891
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: a father. Not quite a father yet, but I appreciate that. Technically,

892
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: I guess are you considered one when they're still inside

893
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: the belly. He's getting big. You can feel his head.

894
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: It's kind of it's kind of trippy. I would say

895
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: the thing with the Raiders now that they can move

896
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: on from the Pete Carroll disaster, I mean pretty embarrassing

897
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of ending to his career for Pete, who's alleged.

898
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Pete Carroll, but that that was

899
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: rough is part of the the regret, I'm sure of that.

900
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 1: Higher is like, you got to break this thing down

901
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: to the studs and spy Tech have this thirty thousand

902
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: foot view of this big picture macro version of his team.

903
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: And he gets Pete, who's like, I win ten games

904
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: a year, I'm gonna win right now. It's like, no, Pete,

905
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win right now with this team. So

906
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: to me, you get a coach. One leadership is really

907
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: key leadership. Like to me, it's less about scheme with

908
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders and get a guy who can lead the

909
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: problem with Pete is pe can lead people like Pete,

910
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: but he can't. Like he's not into the rebuild. How

911
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: could he be seventy five years old and clearly he's

912
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: obsessed with having his kids on the staff, which some

913
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: of these articles come out are just pretty embarrassing for

914
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 1: the family. There's no way around it. And I don't

915
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: even put it. I put it a little on Pete,

916
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: but also like once you get in your forties, like,

917
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: come on, man, it's an embarrassing situation for the family name.

918
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: I think, like to me, if I'm spy tech, I'm

919
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 1: interviewing some of these guys that have gotten a shot

920
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: before because I want a guy that has been there

921
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: and done that. But like Robert Solid, to me, would

922
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. He's a great leader. People

923
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: like him. He's going to get a quarterback because they

924
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: have the number one overall pick. And then you got

925
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: some offensive guys like Matt Naggie, Arthur Smith, who again

926
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: failed quote unquote. Naggy went to the playoffs twice. Arthur

927
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: Smith went seven to nine every year. But like those

928
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: guys have sat in the chair, I think it is

929
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: a tough job to just throw in a first time coaching,

930
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: just with all the I would say the dysfunction that

931
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: comes along with that franchise. Now, once you start winning,

932
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: you and get rid of it. But I think there's

933
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: a huge benefit. Like John Harbo's not coming there, I

934
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: would be very shocked unless there's some connection, like if

935
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was available, he would come there either. But

936
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: I do think some of those guys who have been

937
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: head coaches before. I think a guy like Robert Sala

938
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: would make a lot of sense, I really do, and

939
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: other guys that are. I mean, that's why they want

940
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: Brian Flores right, He's a tough, old school leader I met. Now.

941
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: My issue with that is, I would say I feel

942
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: better like Brian Flores is probably a I would put

943
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: him above Sala when it comes to x's and no's.

944
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: You could argue Flora's as good as it gets in

945
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: the NFL on defense. But I'm sorry, it's hard for

946
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: me to forget the situation with the offensive coaches. And

947
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: I know people in the league that were telling me

948
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: stories about the way that he dealt and treated the

949
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: offensive coaches. I'm not even counting the two things, which

950
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: is public hard for me to get around. That quarterbacks

951
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: the baby. I mean, I don't mean like the treat

952
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: them like a baby. I mean like they're the most

953
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 1: important part of the franchise. Without them, you're fucked, You're done,

954
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: you have no shot. So like it's hard for me

955
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: to get past that point of looking back of like

956
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: that whole situation. And the other thing is the Patriot guys.

957
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: They just struggle to deal with people. There's no way

958
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: around it. I mean, let's face it, they have all

959
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: gotten a ton of jobs, a lot of them multiple jobs,

960
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: and it's been a disaster because they just struggle with

961
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: managing up, managing down that they like try to copy Bill. Now,

962
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: maybe he's changed working for O'Connell. But I thought Josh

963
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 1: McDaniels had changed. Turns out he didn't. They couldn't runhim

964
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 1: out of town fast enough. Congrats on the upcoming baby.

965
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate that we have a girl coming in mid

966
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: to late April, so trying to get ready buckle up baby.

967
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: With funny is my wife was just talking to her

968
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: brother's wife and Emily, who has a little daughter who's

969
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: probably close to six months right now. It's just crazy

970
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: how big they get. And even Maria was like, you

971
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: know what's crazy is I've been so focused on like

972
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: that first month or two I haven't even thought about

973
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: once they get to the age, if they start crawling

974
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: and moving around. I can't even wrap my head around that. Okay,

975
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna grow fast out of all the clothes WEW.

976
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: With Mike McDaniel getting the acts, do you think he

977
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: should look for another head coaching gig or step back

978
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: into the offensive coordinator role at a place like Detroit

979
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: or possibly Philly, depending on how their run goes. I

980
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 1: was just reading an article about Mike and he got

981
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: an extension in twenty twenty four, and that extension kicks

982
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: in next year. He's under contract in twenty six, in

983
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven and twenty eight. Well, let's just say when

984
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins hired him, they gave him five or six

985
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. If you're getting a contract extension,

986
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: I would guess that numbers nine or ten million dollars.

987
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: He has owed a ton of money. And I was

988
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: talking to a younger assistant coach in the NFL, and

989
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: he's like, do you know what's crazy about a lot

990
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: of these guys. They're not afraid to get fired anymore.

991
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: They don't really care. The money is so massive. How

992
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: many human beings do you know? I'm not saying like

993
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: no through the internet. I'm saying no personally that have

994
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: just made forty or fifty million dollars, especially a lot

995
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: of them before they're like fifty that's you know, every

996
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: once in a while you might know a guy that

997
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: built a business and sold it, but unless you know

998
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: a pro athlete or something, you probably don't know many.

999
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: And that that amount of money is changes the way

1000
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 1: you think. If I had fifty million dollars in the bank,

1001
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 1: I would still be podcasting. But it's like, eh, maybe

1002
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: this Thursday night game, I'm not gonna do. It's I

1003
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: don't care who you are, it's human nature. And he

1004
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: was like he was telling me some stories about some

1005
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: like high paid assistance that just don't give a shit.

1006
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 1: It don't don't even take time to deal with other

1007
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: people if they don't like a player, It doesn't matter.

1008
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: Money has im I've said it forever. This league is

1009
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,280
Speaker 1: Wall Street on grass and if you get to the top,

1010
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: you become a GM hell assistant. GMS now make a

1011
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: million bucks if you become a high paid coordinator and

1012
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: definitely a head coach. The money's generational. I think sometimes

1013
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: the media doesn't have a great idea what generational wealth is.

1014
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: They're always like with the NBA, like can he get

1015
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: his max contract and get generational wealth? Like, guys, he

1016
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: just signed a four year, forty million dollar contract as

1017
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: a rookie. I don't know where you guys come from,

1018
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: but that's that's generational wealth. Like that's where it started.

1019
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: So you start making the type of money. I think

1020
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: it also gives you options. So if you're Mike, why

1021
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: would you want one of these crappy head coaching jobs?

1022
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: And the answer as well, money, Well, he doesn't need

1023
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: it because they would it offsets, So it's not like

1024
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: he's getting a race. He would get the same amount,

1025
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: just who pays him. So to me, like, can you

1026
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: resurrect your career? Now? I don't know. I don't know

1027
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: him personally. I don't know what his ambitions are, Like

1028
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: he's dead set, like I'm gonna be a superstar head coach.

1029
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: But there are some awesome offensive coordinator jobs obviously Detroit,

1030
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean they got some serious weapons power. Look at

1031
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: Tampa just fired their offensive coordinator Mike Evans Godwin, the

1032
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving. You know, to resurrect Baker, you get a

1033
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: lot of credit. So I think Sala is a pretty good,

1034
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: pretty good example of a guy that was I don't

1035
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: want to say laughed at because the Jets situation, but

1036
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: like he wasn't gonna become a head coach immediately goes

1037
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: the Niners. His stock comes soaring back. So my guess

1038
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: would be, if you're gonna take the Browns job, then

1039
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: that's on you. But and I get he's worked there

1040
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: before with Kyle way back in the day. I would

1041
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: personally dan Quinn. Do they dan Quinn? He's an offensive

1042
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: court Atlanta, doesn't. I mean, there are gonna be a

1043
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of options for the guy. He would be a very,

1044
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: very in demand play caller, that's for sure. He'd be

1045
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: pretty nasty with Bee John Robinson. What are the odds

1046
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: Garrett gets a head coaching gig? I hope he gets

1047
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: fired so that he won't have so we want to

1048
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: listen to him on sun An Football. I would be stunned.

1049
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: I really would. I would be stunned. I would not

1050
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: expect him to become the head coach of the Titans,

1051
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: which I think he interviewed with, But hell, you never know.

1052
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: Big fan of the pod and congrats advance on the

1053
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: birth of the baby. Have a bone to pick with

1054
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: your good friend Stucky on Caleb Williams the other day

1055
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: when you were stumped by another viewer's question admittingly I'm

1056
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: a bias Bears fan, but isn't it time to stop

1057
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: looking at all these advanced quarterbacks metrics and evaluate the

1058
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with our eyes, with the p DFF stats. Stucky

1059
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: was thrown out there for CW eighteen. You would think

1060
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 1: this guy is playing like JaMarcus Russell, but when you

1061
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: watch the games, that is very obviously not the case.

1062
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: I think using advanced analytics can get tricky when looking

1063
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: at a single season stats due to the extremely small

1064
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: sample size compared to a sport like baseball that heavily

1065
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: uses advanced analytics over a larger sample size. Whatever happened

1066
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: to the good old eye test. The one thing that

1067
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Caleb brings to the table that is undeniable is the

1068
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: big plays. So let's say he has four shitty plays

1069
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: or three shitty plays, an average play and again I

1070
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: don't even know what metrics you're referring to necessarily, and

1071
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: then hits a forty yard bomb of a guy in

1072
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: stride like there is this is the thing with the

1073
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: numbers and the numbers people in general is this is

1074
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: the thing with baseball. They don't believe that momentum pressure matters,

1075
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: that it had bat in a playoff game in the

1076
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: eighth inning Yankee Stadium is no different than a bat

1077
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: in June against the Twins. Like are you high on drugs?

1078
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: Like telling me hitting a golf shot by yourself on

1079
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: a Thursday afternoon, screwing around and then playing in the

1080
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: US Open is the same as a pro golfer. Of

1081
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: course it's not. So his big playability, to me makes

1082
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: up for a lot missing a lot of the layups.

1083
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did that for a long time. Lamar Jackson

1084
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: early on in the career. So I think his big

1085
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: playability this year masked a pretty inaccurate stretch of football.

1086
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not the most accurate guy, but I

1087
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: can live with inaccuracy if you're making big plays. I

1088
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: can live with interceptions if you throw a lot of touchdowns.

1089
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: I know Shuck replaced him and he looks to be

1090
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: the Saints long term quarterback. But do you think Rattler

1091
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: could succeed elsewhere? Maybe in a Vikings offense with O'Connell.

1092
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's worse than JJ McCarthy. He's impressed

1093
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 1: me in his time plan, and I think he could

1094
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: succeed with other systems in the right place. I would

1095
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: imagine they keep him like, I don't see why you

1096
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't want him, you know, shuck twenty five or twenty

1097
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: six year old rookie, but like Spencer Rattler for a

1098
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: guy anyone that watched that Netflix special a long time

1099
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: ago when he was in high school, My first take

1100
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: was what and my buddy Drew that hired me at

1101
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: present State has been at Oklahoma for a decade. They

1102
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: recruited him and they signed him, and he loved him

1103
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: as the player coming out of high school, but the

1104
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes hard to judge a seventeen year old as

1105
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: you get older, but I've watched some of his interviews.

1106
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: He seems like a pretty high level cat. If I

1107
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: was the Saints, I would keep him around. Well, what's

1108
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 1: my rush to get rid of him? So I would

1109
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: keep him both. This is from Josh or Joseph. Congrats

1110
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: on the baby. My wife and I are expecting her

1111
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: first on the nineteenth, so please share any parenting hacks.

1112
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Trust me, I have none question for the back. As

1113
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: a Bears fan, I find it crazy the Packers could

1114
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: let Lafleur go as a head coach. I'm praying it happens.

1115
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: But what candidate would you want over him? Also, is

1116
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: it crazy to say the Bears win two home games

1117
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: and then Darnold gets turnover happy versus the best turnover

1118
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: team to make the Super Bowl. This game's big. If

1119
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: you win this game, to me, you get to free

1120
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: up a little bit and play with house money. There's

1121
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure on this game. You're two and

1122
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: four in the division. You easily could have lost to

1123
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: these guys a couple weeks ago, but the end of

1124
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the game was crazy that all the pressures on you.

1125
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: You win this thing and beat them two out of

1126
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: three times in the last month. I think you have

1127
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: a ton of confidence moving forward. And let's assume Philly

1128
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: beats the Niners like you have a lot of confidence

1129
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 1: against them now going on the road to Seattle, little different,

1130
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: different animal, I would say, especially against their defense. But hell,

1131
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: if you shred Phillies defense in two weeks and the

1132
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Packers defense still solid, yeah, I would say that you

1133
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: would have definitely have a shot to win that game

1134
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: if you were playing Sam Darl definitely have a shot.

1135
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: It is really difficult, and this is why I think

1136
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna take the Packers your

1137
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: defense isn't good. No pass rush can't cover anybody. It's

1138
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: hard to win playoff games with that. It just is

1139
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: so part of the reason, like I'm not that high

1140
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: on the Bears going into the playoffs because I have

1141
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: a philosophical belief that will never change. No defense, no

1142
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: success in big games come January or college football playoffs.

1143
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: You gotta the reasonable miss beat Georgia, you know in

1144
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: the last round was because their defense came through. They

1145
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: had a ton of TFLs. I think they three or

1146
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: four x Georgia on tackles for loss. You got to

1147
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: make plays the line of scrimmage with your defensive line

1148
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: and obviously your dbs. Now your dbs, you guys create

1149
01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of picks. But you also I'm watching the

1150
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: game last week against the Lions, It's like Jamison Williams

1151
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: and Saint Brown looked like Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin.

1152
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: That's that's just gonna be a problem. I mean, I'm

1153
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: so excited for that game. I'm probably as excited for

1154
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: that game. That's the I think that's the most intriguing game.

1155
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: When you factor in the home field, when you factor

1156
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: in at night, when you factor in the history that's sweet.

1157
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm fired up for Bears Packers first off, wishing and

1158
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: praying everything goes well with your baby next week. I

1159
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: appreciate that question for the pot Who do you think

1160
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: should be the Lions next SoC I just saw Mike McDonald.

1161
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel got fired and the Dolphins. I think he

1162
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: should pursue heavy. Do you agree it's funny when they

1163
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: fired Johnny Morton, It's like, well, they fired him three

1164
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: months ago when Dan Campbell took the play calling, and

1165
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: what happens, And I think I saw this happen with

1166
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes with the forty nine ers. The players turned

1167
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: on him. The players go to their head coach and

1168
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: just say this is not working. And it was clear

1169
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: that the players did not think Johnny Morton was good.

1170
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: And the problem for Johnny Morton is he was replacing

1171
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: a guy who was elite, so they know what it

1172
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: looks like. Why Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, they were used

1173
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: to being around Robert Sola and Dimico Ryans and Steve

1174
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Wilkes came in and they just nope, this ain't working,

1175
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: and you know it right away, and players, this isn't

1176
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: a dictatorship like the nineties and the eighties in football,

1177
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: these players have a lot of juice, and once you

1178
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: got elite players making big money, they start going to

1179
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: the head coach. Like this guy doesn't because I remember

1180
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: it was communication. So to me, if you're Dan Campbell,

1181
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna have people interested in this job, right, And

1182
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I think if Mike is willing to be the offensive

1183
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: course coordinator, you should be right near the top of

1184
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: the list. So I now, would Dan want to work

1185
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: with that guy? I mean the last two guys he's hired,

1186
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson he had known from Miami, and Johnny Morton

1187
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: had worked with them. I think at a couple of

1188
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: different places. So will he go outside of his spear,

1189
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: which is hard for coaches to do. Most of them don't, right.

1190
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I just use Kyle Shannonan Kyle Shannon, Robert

1191
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Sala Demiko Ryans he known him from Houston, brings Robert

1192
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: Sala back. I mean, he kind of sticks with his crew.

1193
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: He's got Kubiak now, Sean McVay, who's his defensive coordinator, Shula,

1194
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: who's his good buddy from college. We'll get Andy Reid,

1195
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: like Spags, who he's known for twenty five years, I

1196
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: think these guys like comfort. I do wonder if how

1197
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: bad that season went and Dan was forced essentially by

1198
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: his own players to become the play caller. If he goes,

1199
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't have a choice. I gotta hire the best

1200
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: guy available. Now who that guy is? Know? And this

1201
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: is here's another question. I think Mike should be interested

1202
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: in Tampa because lifelong Bucks fan, they just fired the OC.

1203
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Does the media still realize how insane it is that

1204
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: Baker will now have this tenth OC in ten in

1205
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: eight years? I remember this comvo when he was in Cleveland,

1206
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: but it's gotten way worse. Eighteen Hayley fired than Freddy

1207
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Kitchens nineteen, munkin twenty twenty one, Stefanski van Pelt twenty two,

1208
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,799
Speaker 1: McAdoo twenty two, McVeigh Cohen because he got cut, twenty

1209
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:39,839
Speaker 1: three Canalist Liam Cohen Grizzard. Now, who pretty wild? That's

1210
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: that's pretty nuts. Now. Part of the reason you know

1211
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: Canal is and Liam con like you get credit. I

1212
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: always said this about Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson. If

1213
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,799
Speaker 1: you became their offensive coordinator, you got fired. They all

1214
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: got fired. In Seattle Hall of Fame Quarterbacks there guys

1215
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: get jobs. Baker Mayfield got guys back to back head

1216
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: coaching jobs. Look how many guys got jobs off Aaron

1217
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers or Drew Brees or Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.

1218
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: They should be the ultimate cattle pult to be in

1219
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: the boss and making money, and there are certain places

1220
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: you got to be careful. Now Baker has kind of been.

1221
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, part of the reason is when you're playing well,

1222
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: people come to the good teams. Patrick Mahomes, right, Josh Allen, So,

1223
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore ravens on defense. How many of their

1224
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators over the last twenty five years have been

1225
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: head coaches? Ten? I mean, I mean seriously, I mean

1226
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: going back to Brian Billick through John Harbaugh, their defensive

1227
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: guys have become stars. So it's gonna be an intriguing

1228
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: job because he's proven he can play well. I think

1229
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: the question you would have to ask you'd call Jason

1230
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Light if you're interested in the job, is like, what's

1231
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 1: was he injury last year? Was it just a play calling?

1232
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: What's going on here? So another thing is you get

1233
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: to run the offense. It's not like Todd Bowles a

1234
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: defensive guy. I think he's I think that's a really

1235
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: good offensive coordinator. Joe divisions, and it's not like the

1236
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Panthers are that good. The Saints still got a long

1237
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: way to go personnel wise. Falcons don't even have a

1238
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: coach with the coaching hires in site. The I can't

1239
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: even read with a coaching hiring cycle in full swing.

1240
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: My question is about coordinators getting poached. Are they not

1241
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: bound by contract? I assume they don't need to be

1242
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: free agents like a player would. The NFL is not college.

1243
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: You can't just steal a coordinator, so like if if

1244
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: I wanted. Part of the reason Brian Flores is so

1245
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: talked about right now, his contract is up. But last year,

1246
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 1: you couldn't take Brian Flores away from the Vikings, even

1247
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: if you were going to double his salary. Happens in

1248
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: college all the time. Penn State took Dan Lynn, Anthony

1249
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Lynn's son, who USC had stolen from UCLA. These guys

1250
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 1: bounced around constantly, right, That's not what happens in the NFL.

1251
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: If a guy is under contract. I'm trying to think

1252
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: of a top offensive coordinator you know that would be

1253
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Let's use defensive coordinators easier, like I couldn't steal Robert

1254
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Salah or jesse Mentor to be my If I was

1255
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and wanted to give Robert Saler jesse Mentor

1256
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: eight million dollars to be my defensive court, I can't

1257
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: do it if they're under contract, so you can't poach.

1258
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: This is not the transfer portal. Okay, we'll end on this.

1259
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: Bills fan Darius Slay said he'd only play for the Eagles. Yeah,

1260
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean picked him up and cut corner JaMarcus Ingram.

1261
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Ingram was claimed by the Texans and Slays and played

1262
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: a game last week. McDermott let first round pick and

1263
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: second best corner Max Harrison in the game while thirty

1264
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Harriston got hurt with nine minutes left

1265
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth and will miss most of the playoffs.

1266
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: The Bills now have his secondary issue thanks to their

1267
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: coach NGM. You've spoken on Bean, but what makes you

1268
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: think McDermott is a good coach. This is the same

1269
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: guy who ran a fake punt in the playoffs against

1270
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 1: the Chiefs with DeMar Hamlin, who technically died months earlier.

1271
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: He's not a motivator and his defense sucks in the playoffs.

1272
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,720
Speaker 1: Average coaches can make the playoffs with Josh Allen, but

1273
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 1: good ones win super Bowls. That's a hypothetical that we

1274
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to. I think, you know, he's

1275
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: a super Bowl level quarterback, but you got to do it.

1276
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: To be a super Bowl winner, you gotta win it.

1277
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: So if we lose before the championship game, both the

1278
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: GM and coach should be canned. Agreed. I gotta see

1279
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: how it looks. You're acting like Sean mcdermot's like Freddy Kitchens.

1280
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: I think he's been pretty damn good. You know what's

1281
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: his record this year? He's ninety eight and fifty. In

1282
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: his career, he's seven and seven in the playoffs. I

1283
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: think five of those losses are the Chiefs. I mean,

1284
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: let's just I know Josh Allen plays a huge part

1285
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: in it, but in this decade he's thirteen and three,

1286
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: eleven and six, thirteen and three, eleven and six, thirteen

1287
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 1: and four, twelve and five. Now, the slay personnel move

1288
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 1: is an embarrassment. You can't cut a guy who is

1289
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: then gonna be claimed by a playoff team to take

1290
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 1: a guy that's not gonna play. You've got to have

1291
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: that information and that to me, whoever someone's responsible for that.

1292
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: Someone pounded the table. Darius Slay's an upgrade, he'll help

1293
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: us out. That's embarrassing. I don't know who that's on.

1294
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: I think McDermott gets somewhat of a bad rap. I

1295
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: think he's been pretty good. Now there's this Jags game

1296
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: would be one of his biggest playoff wins. I know

1297
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,719
Speaker 1: he's technically favored, but they're playing as well as anyone

1298
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: in football. He's on the road. Most people, like you

1299
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: think the team's not that good. I'm with you. If

1300
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: you're gonna fire McDermott, the GM has to go because

1301
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: there's no way you could say the GM has been

1302
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: better than the coach. This is one of those situations.

1303
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: But it doesn't happen that often. Why because these owners

1304
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: get close to the gyms, like how does Davill get

1305
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: fired and Joe Shane survive? Right? And who knows that

1306
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: could end up costing them. John Harbaugh because he wants

1307
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: his own GM, and they're not gonna fire Joe Shane

1308
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: a part of that, right. The owner's sick, So it

1309
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: makes situation a little more complicated. But yeah, I mean,

1310
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: I listen I'm biased. I've known Sean since I worked

1311
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: for Philly. He's always been cool to me when I

1312
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: see him at the Combine. He's come on this podcast before.

1313
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: I think like twenty twenty two. He just came over

1314
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: and came on. He's always been I like it personally,

1315
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 1: but it's a results oriented business. The pressure gets amplified

1316
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: when you have you know, let's face it, John Harbaugh

1317
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: got fired because he couldn't win Super Bowl or get

1318
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. Lamar Jackson, Sean McDermott, if he

1319
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 1: gets fired, it will because he couldn't get to the

1320
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: super Bowl with Josh Allen. So with a great player,

1321
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: it almost becomes like an NBA situation, like if I

1322
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: give you Yokich, if I give you Luca, the pressure

1323
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: on you gets turned up tenfold. That's why I said

1324
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: the other day about the Ravens, it's an incredible job. Organization,

1325
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: the structure, how will they just operate? The owner It's

1326
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: also a pressure pack job. Part of the reason John

1327
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 1: kept it for so long is one of the playoffs

1328
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot you know, I mean, was was just the

1329
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: one seed a couple of years ago. You can't just like, oh,

1330
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: a couple nine and eight years like that shit, it's

1331
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 1: not gonna fly. You will get fired. And I think

1332
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: with the Bills, yeah, I guess I could see them

1333
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: firing him if they're one and done. But my question

1334
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 1: you would be who would they hire? Would John Harball

1335
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: just take that job? Maybe you would Mike Tomlin? Would

1336
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: they want a guy like that? Now? I would say, like,

1337
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: he's been beating those guys. Literally, he's been beating those guys,

1338
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: So you're gonna fire just because they've won a super

1339
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: Bowl a long time ago. That's the thing with Sean.

1340
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: Sean played John Harball last year in the playoffs second round.

1341
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would argue Baltimore had the better team.

1342
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: Sean won. Didn He played Mike Tomlin a couple years

1343
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: ago in the playoffs, Curb stomped him. So it's like,

1344
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: those are the type guys cause you're not gonna just

1345
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: be like, let's hire click Koobiac. You know you cannot

1346
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: risk that, So you would need if you're gonna this

1347
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: thing with same I would say the same thing with

1348
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Lamar and the Ravens. The risk they took with John

1349
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Harball a long time, I don't think they can make

1350
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,679
Speaker 1: right now. They need a guy that unless mentor who's

1351
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: been in their building they know. But I think it'd

1352
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,560
Speaker 1: be difficult to hire a first time coordinator. Excuse me,

1353
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 1: a first time head coach coming from a coordinator pretty risky.

1354
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: So I think Sean's proven to be pretty good, pretty

1355
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: good now relative to his scheme and personnel to me

1356
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 1: that the GM has not done a great job now.

1357
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: He's actively involved in that, clearly, But I just don't

1358
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 1: necessarily agree with the way they've built their team. I

1359
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 1: was talking to a scouting buddy who's advanced them. He's like,

1360
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: they're just kind of small. They look small on TV,

1361
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 1: but they have the trump card in Josh, who bails

1362
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: them out a lot. I mean, the key on Coleman

1363
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 1: thing how many times he been inactive. I wasn't really

1364
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 1: paying attention because that game was a joke. I didn't

1365
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: realize Harrison was in the game at the end and

1366
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: got injured. But I also think it's football those things.

1367
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I think we can nitpick

1368
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: that stuff a little, and I'm guilty too, but I

1369
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: think we act like sometimes Sean McDermott is like everyone's

1370
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: given Kevin Stefanski getting on their knees and be like,

1371
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 1: oh my god, Kevin Stefanski. It's like Kevin Stefanski would

1372
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: sell his left leg to have the resume of Sean McDermott.

1373
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, would give anything Kevin Stefanski. This year led

1374
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,560
Speaker 1: I think statistically one of the top ten worst offenses

1375
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: of like the last thirty years. I think I heard

1376
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: someone say it looked even worse. So I don't know.

1377
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Bills have won a lot of games. They have,

1378
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, that's your job.

1379
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Your job is not to draft, is not free agency,

1380
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: it's not the higher coach. It's just to win and loose.

1381
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: And when you win all that stuff like Tartet nitpick,

1382
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: when you lose, will attack the hell out of your

1383
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: draft strategy or free agency strategy. Who you're hiring. If

1384
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: you're winning twelve thirteen games a year and find yourself

1385
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 1: in the championship game, a lot like what am I

1386
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna say you suck? I can't because you don't Audios.

1387
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:19,959
Speaker 1: The volume
