Speaker 1: Okay. Instant reaction on the Rams hammering the Minnesota Vikings, Well,

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold had a chance at some point to be

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: a fifty million dollars quarterback, and he'll probably now get

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: closer to a Baker Mayfield contract, which will be in

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: the thirty millions. I might kind of take away the

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks is I think Minnesota is going

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: to move off Donald and go with JJ McCarthy and

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: back up with Daniel Jones. I think it was I

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: think for the most of the season that you couldn't

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: do that. I think you you know, I think all

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: of us watched through the course of the season and

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: thought you can't let Sam go. But this is the

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: way the league works. I mean, coaches get fired because

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: of bad back to back games at the end of

43
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: the season. And I think it's that simple. I just

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: think the last couple of weeks you could see the

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: frustration Kevin O'Connell. And by the way, tonight was mentor

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Hersus student McVeigh against Kevin O'Connell. I mean McVeigh with

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: extra prep time, they looked really good. But I think

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell's frustration on the sideline, he's, you know, very

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: authentic and when he's angry and his frustration with Sam

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Donald and listen, I like Bo Nicks, I like Sam Donald,

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: I like Justin Herbert. They all played poor football. They

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: all fell behind early in the first half, and they're

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: trying to make plays and you know, last game of

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: the year, you're trying to make plays. And frankly, the

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Rams defense has gotten so much better. I mean, the

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Rams are really an interesting story. They have not missed

57
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: on their defensive draft picks. They've missed them some offensive

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: draft picks two two at well, second round receiver never

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: been as good as they thought. Logan Brus kind of

60
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: a miss interior O. Ligneman, second or third round guy.

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: They don't miss on defense. Jared Verse is incredible. That's

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: a ten time pro bowler. I mean there are his

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: speed and power for his size. He was chasing down

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Darnold at the end of the game and you're like,

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: get two hundred and sixty pound guy, shouldn't run like that.

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: He is a bull had a touchdown on that fumble

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: recovery in the first half of the game. I think

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: when you look at the Rams, they had eight sacks

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: in the first month of the season. They had eight

70
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: sacks tonight and Greg Cosell said last Thursday on the

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: show and I asked him, I said, I'm kind of

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: go either way in that game, and he stopped me

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: and he said, the Rams defensive line, if you look

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: at the film, is going to be a major problem

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: for the Vikings and it will decide the game. And

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: that's why I picked the Rams. I said that with

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Chad Bilman on Sharper Square. Greg co Sell he does

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: as a HANDFLT times during the year he feels so

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: strongly about something and he just said, DRAMs d line

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: will decide the game and they just haven't missed. Kobe Turner,

81
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Jared Verse Young from a couple of years ago, Braden

82
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: Fisk Florida State. I mean they just all those guys

83
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: can play, and their back end is more mid round guys,

84
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: but really well coached. You get nothing free over the top.

85
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: They're a combination of a young, athletic, twitchy team getting

86
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: better every five to six weeks. You lock up and

87
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: you think, Okay, this team is better than they were,

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, in September and October, and they're gonna give

89
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia a real game. Now Philadelphia played so poorly. I

90
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: think they'll be really focused. But this Rams d line,

91
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: it won't be muted by Philadelphia's on line. I mean

92
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: they'll they'll pressure. They'll pressure Jalen Hurts to some degree.

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: And Hurts hasn't played, you know, from concussion on. We'll

94
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: see what we get. Generally, when quarterbacks get concussions, they

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: can be fuzzy for a couple of weeks. I think

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts will play much better football against the Rams

97
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: than he did this past week against Green Bay. And

98
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: I like Philadelphia in that game. I thought the Rams

99
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: for about three quarters played perfect football tonight. But you know,

100
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: going back to Sam Darnold, I think Donald And this

101
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: is what's great about the NFL is that you know,

102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: after Buffalo lost the Rams, I'm like, oh boy, Buffalo

103
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: is not good enough defensively, and then they go on

104
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: a run. And as I've often said with kids, the

105
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: days are long, the years fly by. The NFL week

106
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: to week, you don't know exactly what you're getting. But

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: over the course of a year, great coaches with great

108
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks win a lot. So if you look at the AFC,

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes and Andy Reid has left, John Harbon, Lamar Jackson,

110
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Josh Allen and Demiko Ryans and CJ. Stroud.

111
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: You look over in the other and you know what

112
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: a shock is. Stafford and McVeigh once again are ready

113
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: to go. You've got the great Detroit staff and Jared Goff.

114
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: So this stuff over the course of time, when Stafford

115
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: is healthy and people aren't getting to him, I mean,

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: when's the last time. I mean he hasn't felt pressure

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: in a month. So the Rams are really good on

118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 1: both lines. They just couldn't stay healthy for the first

119
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: eight weeks. But right now now Puka got banged up

120
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: to night, so Kyron Williams. If those guys come back,

121
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: they'll be at full strength against Philadelphia. I think they've

122
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: got a shot again. The McVeigh and Stafford equation, they've

123
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: got a shot. But it looked like tonight when they

124
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: jumped out to that leads it felt like Andy Reid

125
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: off a buy, and I don't think there's any I

126
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: think Andy Reid and McVeigh are the best play designers

127
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: in the league. And I think McVeigh is conn It's

128
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: like the opposite of the Pittsburgh Steelers. McVeigh is constantly

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: updating and adapting and evolving his schemes, his sets. You

130
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: just don't know what you're getting with him. I thought

131
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: he got a little predictable about three to four years ago,

132
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: and he probably thought that too, and now you're never

133
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: quite sure what you're getting. The Rams are a really

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: good team, and I thought Minnesota had an amazing year.

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: But listen, we all kind of thought they were a

136
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: third or fourth place team. And the truth eventually comes out.

137
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: The truth came out with the Broncos. They got into

138
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they were a year ahead of schedule.

139
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: The truth came out with the Chargers. What a great story.

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: They're not a great team. They need more offensive playmakers.

141
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: So the truth comes out the longer and the longer

142
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: any business exists. You know, it's like good football teams.

143
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: There's always been a theory if you have a better

144
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: football team, you want more plays. So you just you know,

145
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State earlier this year, I was I think it

146
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: was Urban Meyer talked about this. They weren't They weren't

147
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: playing very fast, and considering how good they were, they

148
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: weren't producing a lot of plays in the game. Now,

149
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: if you watch Ohio State play, they're playing more up

150
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: tempo and faster, and that's what Ohio They shouldn't want

151
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: to play like they have the best players, and so

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: you slow the game down when you're trying to kill

153
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the clock or eat clock and you don't feel you

154
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: have good personnel. I'm looking at the Rams right now,

155
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're as good as Detroit or

156
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or Buffalo in terms of overall talent. But I

157
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: don't think the gaps. I don't think the GAP's that big. Now.

158
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: They need everybody healthy, So Kien Williams has to play.

159
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: They're not terribly great. Blake korm hasn't done anything this

160
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: year as a rookie. Ronnie Rivers, Fresno State running back

161
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: is a number three guy. If Kien Williams is not available,

162
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: it's not quite. The offense isn't as punchy. But you know,

163
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: I was looking around at some numbers. Let me just

164
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: look real quick. I was talking about Donald. Every Donald

165
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: early sack everyone early. He held onto the ball for

166
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: at least three point two seconds. And again, Joe Burrow

167
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: does that a little bit. Joe Burrow was looking for

168
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: big play. He'll hold the ball just a little longer.

169
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: The difference is Burrow is a more accurate thrower than Donald. Donald.

170
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: The ball can sail. He's not quite as naturally accurate.

171
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: But a lot of these quarterbacks, Andrew Luck did that,

172
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow does it, Donald does it. You know, Big

173
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Ban at times did that. They hold the ball a

174
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: little longer because they want the big play. Sam loves

175
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: to throw the ball down the field. He'd prefer not

176
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: the dink and dunk. He's always been almost to a fault.

177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: He wants to throw it deep. But the thing with Donald,

178
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: he was a great student all year. He just bombed

179
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: the final. It doesn't mean he's a n F student.

180
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: He's a B student, he's not an A student. And

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: there's only about seven of those in the league, or six.

182
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: But I think the teams that were exposed this weekend,

183
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Minnesota got beat up, Denver got beat up, Chargers got

184
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: beat up, Packers got beat up. Are any of you surprised?

185
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, really, it's we went into this weekend. We're

186
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: like Buffalo, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Rams was going either way. But

187
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: after cole Sell said what he told you and me,

188
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: I like the Rams. But I don't think it was

189
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: a terribly surprising weekend. I think eventually you get exposed

190
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: in this league at this level. And playoff football is different,

191
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's such a It's just it's the same

192
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: thing in playoff baseball. It's the same thing in playoff basketball.

193
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Is that it is hard pro athletes. It's hard to

194
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: fake it. You know, you're playing Carolina, it's week seven.

195
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: It's hard. Sometimes people have lives and wives and kids

196
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: and they're banged up and to get complete attention and urgency.

197
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: And the NFL keeps expanding the schedule. You get into

198
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: these playoff games and those coaches those games are often standalone.

199
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: The entire league is watching it. There's a real vanity.

200
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Like Sean McVay put on a coaching clinic tonight. That

201
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: was a flex. That first half was an absolute flex

202
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: by Sean McVay mentor teaching student. So fun weekend. The

203
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: big dogs advance. Now you know there's at least four

204
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: new playoff teams every year, four new playoff teams. So

205
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: I've been pretty good. I've been pretty lucky at predicting

206
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: the four new playoff teams. Teams to keep your eye

207
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: out for. And remember what I said Washington. You guys

208
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: all you were very critical, very hurtful. I'm gonna tell you,

209
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: if they have a good draft and they have the

210
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: most cap room, keep your eye on New England. You

211
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: think I'm crazy. You thought I was nuts for the Washington.

212
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: You thought I was nuts to the Rams before Mike Frable,

213
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel. If they go by a T. Higgins hit

214
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: on another running back, shore up the old line, keep

215
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: your eye on New England. That's my surprise team next year,

216
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: and not just because I like Mike Vrabel. So we

217
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: headed too. The next weekend of games, I'll tell you,

218
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: starting with Notre Dame on Thursday, over Penn State until

219
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: tonight Rams kind of hammering the Vikings. That was about

220
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: as good to five day stretch of football as I remember.

221
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: The games weren't all great, but and I hope you

222
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: know this. I'm so grateful for what I do and

223
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: so thankful for this I get to sit and watch

224
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: football and then shoot the you know what on this thing.

225
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk if I could, about Dion Sanders

226
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys. So I got a text tonight

227
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: from Jordan Schultz and he reported Cowboys owner Jerry Jones

228
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: has spoken with Deon Sanders regarding the possible job, and

229
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: there is some mutual interest here. Coach Prime is considered

230
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: a top candidate, though the Cowboys plan to interview other candidates.

231
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was very interesting talking to Matt Moseley

232
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: today on my show. And Matt's been covering the Cowboys forever.

233
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: Whenever you see a Cowboy press conference after a game,

234
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Matt's the one with the dark sunglasses. Very very funny guy.

235
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: Baylor guy, funny guy, really like him. Does the Doomsday

236
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: podcast with edwarder Boy also like and you know, he

237
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: said something today, He's not going to hire some young

238
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. What really bothered Jerry. This year was empty

239
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: seats and the apathy around the Cowboys, and that really

240
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: bothered Jerry Jones. And that's why Dion. You know, first,

241
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: I think that's not going to happen. Deon Sanders is

242
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: going to sell tickets. Is he the best candidate? I

243
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean we were all surprised how well

244
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: they did at Colorado. Colorado was like a bottom three

245
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: college football program when he arrived. He was getting like

246
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: five star athletes. So so I think I think Deon

247
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: Sanders could build a good staff. But this is Jerry.

248
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's be honest. Name another coach. But

249
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: in fact, I don't think there's another coach you could

250
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: hire that would create more buzz than Dion Sanders. I

251
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: don't think Belichick would create that buzz. We've seen Belichick.

252
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: We saw the last several years, grumpy Bill Belichick. You know,

253
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it would be interesting. I think

254
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders would be sort of a revelation and people

255
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: there'd be a lot of mystery. Mystery fascinates people. That's

256
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: why conspiracy theorists on podcasts. I mean, one of the

257
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: things that really gets attention for people with small audiences

258
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: in you know, the podcasting space is a conspiracy theory.

259
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: People are interested. It's it's the mystery, it's the unknown,

260
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: and that's why magic's so popular and we all know

261
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: it's fake. But it's like, oh, how did you do that?

262
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: And I think Dion Sanders has a how will he do? Quality?

263
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Rable's gonna win in New England, right

264
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: like Harball was going to win with the Chargers. I

265
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: mean that's Andy Reid, Kansas City, a lot of Dan Quinn,

266
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. They were going to do just fine in Washington.

267
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how Diane would do as a pro coach.

268
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's a better football coach in college

269
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: than I would have guessed. There's not that many former

270
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: star players that make good coaches. You need patience, you

271
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: got to be a grinder, and a lot of star

272
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: players are just naturally gifted. You know. It's like, how

273
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: many all time great baseball players are great baseball managers.

274
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Doc Rivers was a pretty good player. A

275
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: good player wasn't a great player. So I mean Jason

276
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: Kidd has been successful, that's Jerry West, but Jerry West

277
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: didn't like coaching. He liked gmming the late Jerry West.

278
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: So I think Dean would be fascinating. And I think

279
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: when Matt Moseley said that today that the apathy around

280
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys really got Jerry's attention. And there's a sameness

281
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy. He's a very good coach. He's not fascinating,

282
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: he's not captivating. He didn't have a vibe. He's not cool,

283
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: he's not alpha. Mike McCarthy's just a nice guy, good

284
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: football coach. So I think McCarthy's going to go and

285
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: light it up. If he goes to Chicago, I think

286
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: he'll do really well. Or with the Steelers or with

287
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: the Jets. Bears is where I think it fits best.

288
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: I think Dion to the Cowboys. Listen, I'm in the

289
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: interesting business. Wouldn't you watch? You know? My take on

290
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Dallas is I just Troy Aikman said this on ESPN today.

291
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a great job. I think New England.

292
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: I think the Charger's job with Herbert was a great job.

293
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Had your left tackle had a couple of good pass rushers,

294
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: had Derwin James had a good draft pick like that

295
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: was a good job. I think I think New England's

296
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good job. The roster's not very good. You

297
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: got Drake May and Robert Krafts. He has stability and

298
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: ownership and the quarterback of the future. I don't think Dallas.

299
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: I think you just have to navigate around an outrageous

300
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: contract to a quarterback who got worse after his first

301
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: injury and now he's recovering from a second. So I

302
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's a great job. You know, Deon would

303
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: make it, however, a captivating and that's what we're all

304
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: here for. The volume
