1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 2: The Giants already get a victory. They won the press 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 2: conference apparently yesterday with John Harbaugh. Harball was introduced as 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: the new head coach. And it's weird, how if we 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: looked at the Giants, Let's say Brian Dable was back 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: next year, we would look at the Giants and go, Okay, 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: there's potential. All of a sudden, you bring in John 9 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: Harbaugh and we're going, man, he can maybe turn it around. 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: Like Mike Rabel. Maybe you got the similar situation there. 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: And Rabel, who is not as charismatic as his brother, 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: had this to say about ready to win John, how 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 2: do you build a winning culture? And how long will 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: it take for this team to win? 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 3: The second part's impossible to say, but I'm planning on 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 3: day one. So that's what we're we be shooting for, 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: that's what we're working for and fully expected to happen. 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: All right, I'm ready to go. Giants gonna turnaround. Feels 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: like we have one or two of those teams every year. 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: And he's also very excited to coach Jackson Dart. 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 3: I'm excited about Jackson Dart, you know, and you build 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 3: your team around your quarterback. I like the way he plays, 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 3: mal like his talent, skill set, all things he accomplished. 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: But more than that, I like who he is and 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: what he's about. 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 4: To me. He's about football. I mean, this is this 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 4: young guy loves football. He wants to talk football all 28 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 4: the time. 29 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 3: And that's kind of what I like doing too. So 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 3: I think we're gonna have a lot of great conversations 31 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: and I can't wait to get started with him. 32 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: All right, channeling a little Jim Harball there. He liked football. 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: I like talking football. We're gonna talk football, yes, seton. 34 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: How do you know that he met him two days ago? Well, 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: maybe that's all they talked about was football. He liked football. 36 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: I like football. We're gonna talk football. It feels like, 37 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: and let me rephrase this, he is. He's not a 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: character like his brother. He's got charisma, he's just not 39 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: a character like Jim is. But great head coach. But 40 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: all of a sudden you look at the Giants differently. 41 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I think because John Harball, Well, because they're going to 42 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: talk football, they're going to win football. That's what they do. 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: By the way, Jim Harball hired Mike McDaniel, the former 44 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: Dolphins head coach, or at least he's going to Mike McDaniel. 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: Now the headline is going to read differently than I'm 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: interpreting this, and that is Mike McDaniel turned down an 47 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: opportunity to interview for the Cleveland Browns job. I think 48 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: what he did is he took his name out. You know, 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 2: sometimes you're not going to get a job, but you 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: want to take your name out before somebody hires somebody 51 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: and then you realize you weren't getting the job in 52 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 2: the first place. I don't think they were going to 53 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: hire Mike McDaniel in Cleveland. They've had a couple of 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: candidates coming in for a couple maybe their second interviews. 55 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: Mike would have been a curiosity. You know, hey, come 56 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 2: on in, what do you think of our quarterbacks here? 57 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: What would you do with this offense here? And I 58 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: think the Chargers did a great, great hire bringing in 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: McDaniel to help Justin Herbert and Mike McDaniel was coveted 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: as an offensive coordinator. I think that's a great hire. 61 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: And he goes to the Chargers. Brown's still searching for 62 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: their head coach. But you know, you still start with 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: Buffalo because these Bills fans are not letting it go. 64 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: They're looking for every angle. Is there a new angle 65 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: with that interception? There's gotta be NFL films put out 66 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: an angle. It's not any different than what we saw 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: over the weekend. 68 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 5: What Paul Dan not according to Bill supporters. 69 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: Well, okay, Bill supporters need to have this realization. Your 70 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: best player didn't play his best and he cost you 71 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: that game. Because if he makes a couple of plays, 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: you win. That's it. You win. It doesn't come Don't 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: blame the officials. Blame Josh Allen. Start there. He did 74 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: not have a good game. A couple interceptions, an overthrow 75 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: that would have won the game or put him in 76 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: a position to win the game, a fumble at the 77 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: end to the first half. That's on him. It's not 78 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: on the officials. And it's easy to blame, and it's tough. 79 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: It's tough to sit here and go, why aren't we 80 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: playing this weekend? We are better than Denver, and maybe 81 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: you were except for Josh Allen didn't play like Josh 82 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 2: Allen normally does. That's the reality of this. There's no 83 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: other way to spin this. You want to blame the 84 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: officials and is it a tough call. Yeah, in the moment, 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: I thought there's no way that that's an interception. When 86 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: they called it an interception, I said, there's no way 87 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: they overturn it. And even Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow hasn't 88 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: tweeted since August, Joe Burrow said, hey, get over it. 89 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: The call was correct. 90 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, Pauline, Joe Burrow's tweet was the amount of people 91 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 5: that don't understand what a catch is in the rule 92 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 5: book flabbergasty. And it's not the officials. The two plays 93 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 5: yesterday he talked about the one in the Bears game 94 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 5: in the Bills game were not difficult calls and they 95 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 5: got him bold right. 96 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 97 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: So if I'm a Buffalo Bills fan, it's tough to swallow. 98 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: This was your year. It cost you your head coach. 99 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: Head coach reportedly had issues with the roster with their GM, 100 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: and I think that that's a bigger issue where ownership 101 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: in GM probably got together and said, well, wait a minute, 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: that this guy didn't like what we're doing and we 103 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: need to move on from him. Non paraphrasing there. But 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have fired Mike. I wouldn't have fired Sean McDermott. 105 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: It's really hard to be consistently good in the league, 106 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: and he was consistently good. Now you can say, is 107 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: he going to be good enough to get us to 108 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl? I didn't think the roster was great. Well, 109 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: who built the roster? Your GM did. But we blame Oh, 110 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: we didn't get to the next level. Well, who are 111 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: you blaming? It's usually the coach and we're in a 112 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: a day and age where man, what have you done 113 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: for me lately? Huh? Kind of been good for a 114 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: decade here. Yeah, but you know we had some fumbles 115 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 2: in some interception. Yeah, but I didn't do that. Yeah, 116 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: we got to blame somebody here. But FLO fans may 117 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: not like it, But don't be blaming the officials. Blame 118 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: yourself because you easily could have won that game. 119 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, Pauling, I don't think it's going to go that 120 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 5: way for the Buffalo fans. I think they're gonna latch 121 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 5: onto this video and this play and this bad call 122 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 5: in their mind forever until they win a Super Bowl 123 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 5: like Dallas with the des Bryant thing more than a 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 5: decade ago. The further they get from the Super Bowl, 125 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 5: the bigger. This play will stick in their cross. 126 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: Well, is this the modern day Scott Norwood missed field goal? Now? 127 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, but you could blame it on somebody else. 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. 129 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 5: I just think it's gonna stay for. 130 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: A long long time. 131 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it shouldn't. It shouldn't. It's unfortunate though, but 132 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: you know, with Sean McDermott, I mean, that's an impressive resume. 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: Who's coming in? Who is your guy coming in? Because 134 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: he has to get to the FC title game? Right? 135 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: Who's coming in in Baltimore? You got to get to 136 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: the AFC title game. I think the expectation level is crazy. 137 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: Even Pittsburgh, you got to make the playoffs unless there's 138 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: an announcement of hey we're going to renovate here, we got 139 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: to retool here. But Pittsburgh's not going to do that. 140 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: And the Chiefs, you know, Mahomes will be coming back eventually, 141 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: so you're still gonna have to deal with him. Joe 142 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: Burrow and the Bengals might stay healthy. Is Jacksonville for real? 143 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: Denver is going to be there, Chargers coming back. There'll 144 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: be an outwire that you go, wow, that team is 145 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: on the rise here. But these coaching. You know, when 146 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: you start to point fingers, man, it's tough. Yeah, Ton, And. 147 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: If the league just recycles or recirculates coaches that just 148 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 5: had a job, who is left that's so juicy. 149 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: That is the answer. In Buffalo. If they're not going 150 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 4: to find some hidden character, hidden candidate that we haven't 151 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 4: really already mentioned. 152 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: Well you might find somebody, But you go in and 153 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: what's the expectation level. You know, Robert Sawa is taking 154 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 2: over Tennessee, what's the expectation level? Five wins? Six wins, 155 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: that's about it. But if you're taking over a team 156 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: like Baltimore with Lamar Jackson, a team like Buffalo with 157 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: Josh Allen, we are making the playoffs? And how far 158 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: are we going in the playoffs? Even Pittsburgh, Hey, you 159 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: wanted Mike Tomlin out. All he did is win, got 160 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: you to the playoffs. Maybe overachieved this year. But and 161 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: for the life of me, I don't know why the 162 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: Steelers would say, hey, we're open to bringing back Aaron Rodgers. 163 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: Shouldn't that be up to the head coach who hasn't 164 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: been hired, So now all of a sudden coach comes in, 165 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: he'll be the bad guy, when really the front office 166 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: shouldn't be saying anything about Aaron Rodgers or just saying, hey, 167 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: there's you know, we're open to possibilities here. But but 168 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: the head coach and the GM should have that, you know, 169 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: make that decision. You can't put that on a guy 170 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: who hadn't even taken the job yet all of a sudden, 171 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: Brian Flores goes in. First question is what are you 172 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: doing with Aaron Rodgers? I don't know, not bringing him back? 173 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: And if you are bringing him back, what's that say 174 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: about you know, your immediate future? Like, what are you doing? 175 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: It's just the deep end is where the great teams are. 176 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: You're in the kiddie pool. You're in a pool. You're 177 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: just not where you need to be. And you bring 178 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: back Aaron Rodgers, you know that doesn't I don't have 179 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: a rush of confidence when I go, yeah, Aaron Rodgers 180 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: played okay this year, probably better than a lot of 181 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 2: people thought. But if I'm Pittsburgh, I want to know 182 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: what is our future here? Who is our future here? 183 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 2: And maybe you get Brian Flores in there, maybe Mike 184 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: McCarthy in there. Okay, First thing I want to know 185 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: is what are we doing like we're old, who's our quarterback? 186 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: What are we doing with TJ? Watt? Can we trade 187 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: anybody here? What did we want in the draft? Needing 188 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: the draft? So there's all these questions, but it just 189 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: feels like ownership, front office. They're quick to move on. 190 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: There is no patience and some of the greatest coaches 191 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: in history, they could have easily gotten fired into in 192 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: today's landscape after two or three years. Like you go 193 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: back to Mike Krushchevski a duke, it's like he would 194 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: have been fired because nobody knew Mike Ryzhevski and it's 195 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: after what three years at Duke, you'd be like, I 196 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: think we can move on from him. But having that 197 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: patience to be able to see who that guy is, 198 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: what that guy is, that's the hard part here. But 199 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 2: some of these coaching candidates going in it's tough enough. 200 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: You walk in and it's like, all right, better be great. Uh, okay, 201 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 2: just got here day one. Huh. That's tough. But that's 202 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: what Baltimore's done, that's what Buffalo has done. Pittsburgh, you know, 203 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: that's Mike Tomlin stepping down. So that's different. But man, 204 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: it's fascinating, fascinating times for these coaching candidates and these 205 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: teams and the expectation level. All right, see what's poll 206 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 2: question for hour one on the program. By the way, 207 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: the Giants with a win already. They won the press 208 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: conference yesterday. Oh yeah, that's great, good for you. 209 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 210 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 6: Would you rather be the coach of the Browns or 211 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 6: an offensive coordinator somewhere else? So? 212 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: Would I rather be the Charger's OC or the Browns 213 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: head coach? Any offensive coordinator? 214 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: Gig? 215 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Mike McDaniel needs to not reinvent himself, 216 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: but I think kind of disappear and do what he 217 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: does best as an OC. I don't know, do you 218 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: want to walk into the Browns situation? Do you want 219 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: to walk? 220 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 7: I mean. 221 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: The Dolphins might have done him a favorite. By the way, 222 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: did you see where the story actually came out? When 223 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: I got in from you know, a source said ownership 224 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: came in and fired Mike McDaniel right in front of 225 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 2: another player. Darren Waller was doing an exit interview and 226 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: Steven Ross came in and interrupted that to fire him. 227 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 2: And my sores told me that, and Darren Waller finally 228 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: came out on a podcast and said, yeah, I was there. 229 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: I saw it, Like, really, can you wait two minutes? Yeah, Paul. 230 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 5: If Mike McDaniel joins the Chargers, there has to be 231 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 5: a Hard Knocks or some type of TV show Harbor McDaniel. 232 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 5: It's like a guy from the nineteen fifties hires a 233 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 5: guy from twenty twenty and they're working together. 234 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: Could be fascinating just listening to the conversation. They are 235 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: an interesting duo. Yes they are. That's a lot of 236 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: personality right there. 237 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 238 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: Todd called it the NFL's version of Stranger Things. You know, 239 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: it's the upside down, like weird and weirder, but I'm 240 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: loving the dynamic of what's going to happen. Then who's Vecna? 241 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: Who's Vecna? See you watched Stranger Things throughout? Did you 242 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: watch all of it? I? 243 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: Did you? 244 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 2: Okay? 245 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:46,239 Speaker 4: Yeah? 246 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I stopped like two seasons ago. 247 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 6: I watch because I made it this far and I 248 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 6: was just like, I'm just going to see it out. 249 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 6: You know, I didn't really care for the last season 250 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 6: all that much, but they had a phenomenal season like 251 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 6: season four I think maybe was really really great. 252 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 2: So then that kind of kept me through. Is either 253 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 2: three or four of us really good Beckna. 254 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 255 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 256 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 257 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 8: Hey is Covino and Rich from Fox Sports Radio Now. 258 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 8: In addition to hearing us live weekdays from five to 259 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 8: seven pm Eastern two to four Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, 260 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 8: We're excited to announce a brand new YouTube channel for 261 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 8: the show. 262 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: Yup, that's right. 263 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 8: You can now watch Covino and Rich live on YouTube 264 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 8: every day.

We were just 270 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: talking about painful moments, you know, Buffalo Bill's fans having 271 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: a hard time getting over that intersect. And you were 272 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: the coach of the Cowboys for the des Bryant play, 273 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: I was is that your toughest play? That like that 274 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: still stays with you of all the plays when you 275 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: were coaching or a player. 276 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 7: You know, I would say two plays. 277 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 9: The des Bryant play would be one, and then the 278 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 9: other play was a couple of years later in the. 279 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 7: Divisional Ral when when Aaron Rodgers rolled left and made 280 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 7: that amazing throw. 281 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 9: So yeah, we had we had a couple of interesting 282 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 9: ones at the end of games, you know, with a 283 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 9: chance to go to the NFC Championship game and they 284 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 9: go right to the end of the end of the 285 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 9: game against the Packers and Aaron Rodgers. 286 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: But the des Bryant call. What were you told in 287 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: the moment and were you okay with what they told 288 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: you about that non touchdown? 289 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 7: Well? 290 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 9: Uh, I feel like I'm an expert in this area 291 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 9: because I've talked about this a lot with a lot 292 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 9: of people through the years. 293 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 7: Uh I was. 294 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 9: I was bothered by the call for a couple of 295 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 9: different reasons. The number of times I had heard prior 296 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 9: to that play. 297 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 7: You know, how long do you need to catch the ball? 298 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 9: And there was always this idea of hey, all you 299 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 9: need is time enough to make a football move. And 300 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 9: the officials who would tell me this, they would say, hey, 301 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 9: he doesn't have to make a football move. It's just 302 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 9: time enough to make a football move. And look, if 303 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 9: you look at the dead Brian play, you know he 304 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 9: catches the ball just outside the five yard line. It 305 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 9: was one of the most amazing catches I believe in 306 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 9: the history of football. He catches it and he switches 307 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 9: hands with it. He gets one foot down, two foot down. 308 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 9: The third he lunges, so he's switched hands. He's gotten 309 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 9: the feet down. Lunge is a football move. He has 310 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 9: the ball here, he extends it. These are all football 311 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 9: moves over the course of five yards. So he's essentially 312 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 9: running with the ball to get himself down there to 313 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 9: make that extension. And you know, for them to come 314 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 9: back and say he needs to survive the ground, this 315 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 9: thing that seemed to trump everything else. 316 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 7: You know, like, how many times have I heard from 317 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 7: you guys. 318 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 9: He doesn't even have to make a football move, he 319 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 9: just needs time enough. And literally he made seven football 320 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 9: moves over the course of five yards. And then the 321 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 9: other part of it is it was ruled to catch 322 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 9: on the field by a guy who was standing right there. 323 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 9: And so for them to come into it afterwards and say, 324 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 9: you know, it's indisputable that this is not a catch, 325 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 9: it was really a. 326 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 7: Hard thing for me to comprehend. 327 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 9: And if you remember after that, it started with Calvin 328 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,239 Speaker 9: Johnson and then it was the des play, and then 329 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 9: for about three or four years after that, every catch 330 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 9: or non catch was viewed through that same prism, and 331 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 9: they completely screwed up what. 332 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 7: A catch was. 333 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 9: I mean, guys are running down the field stumbling and 334 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 9: they have it for ten yards, but he falls down 335 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, that's not a catch. And 336 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 9: so a little bit like the tuck rule, took him 337 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 9: about five years to quiet try to change it. But 338 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 9: I think we're kind of back to that same place, 339 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 9: and I think it's frustrating for a lot of people. 340 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: What did you think in the moment of the interception 341 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: in the Broncos Bills game. 342 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 7: I still think it's a catch. 343 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 9: I do you know, a hundred years ago in football 344 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 9: you had to tackle a guy and lay on top 345 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 9: of him and keep him down. If you look at 346 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 9: the old films, they tackle him and the guy keeps 347 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 9: getting back up, Right, that's rugby. 348 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 7: We're not playing rugby, right, We're playing football. 349 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 9: So for him to make that catch, secure the ball, 350 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 9: go to the ground, be touched, and then have the 351 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 9: defender rip the ball out when they're on the ground. 352 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 7: What are we doing? You know, it's a catch. 353 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: I thought it was a catch in the moment, and 354 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: the more I looked at it, the more it felt 355 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: like the defender was getting his hands on the ball 356 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 2: before they hit the ground. I was first of all, 357 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: I was surprised that they called it an interception, and 358 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 2: I knew they weren't going to overturn it. If they 359 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: called her to catch, I don't think they would have 360 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: overturned it either. 361 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, and again that's what takes me back to the 362 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 9: des Brian play. It was called a catch, and to 363 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 9: say indisputable evidence overturns it. You know, I have a 364 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 9: regret about that play Dan afterwards in the game, you 365 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 9: know it as a head coach, who're always preaching no excuses, 366 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 9: and you know, I talked to our guys about, Hey, 367 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 9: that was one play. We had fifty six minutes before, 368 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 9: We had four minutes afterwards to win that game. So 369 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 9: we're not gonna We're not going to rely on officials 370 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 9: to make the right calls. It's our job as players 371 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 9: and coaches. Having said that, something I wish I should 372 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 9: have said was in the moment, I get all that 373 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 9: there's no excuses. 374 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 7: We had our opportunities. 375 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 9: But Tony Rollmo made an amazing throw and Dez Bryant 376 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 9: made one of the greatest catches. 377 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 7: In the history of National Football League. 378 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 9: And for me as a coach, as a former player, 379 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 9: and as a fan of football, this play should have 380 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 9: been in the lower of Bradshaw to Swan over Mark 381 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 9: Washington and the Super Bowl falling stumbling down. There should 382 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 9: have been Roger Stauback to Butch Johnson, all of those 383 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 9: amazing plays in the history of the game, and somehow 384 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 9: it got caught up and officiating. And I thought about 385 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 9: this the other day because coming out of that game, 386 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 9: what did we talk about? We talked about a catcher, 387 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 9: no catch or an interception, and then we talked about 388 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 9: the past interferences on the following drive. Right, They let 389 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 9: the players play a certain way the whole game, and 390 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 9: then all of a sudden, we're calling these plays at 391 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 9: the end. 392 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 7: And I have nothing against Denver. 393 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 9: They did a fantastic job all year long, but I 394 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 9: hate as a fan of football that officiating in these 395 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 9: big games is what the conversation is. 396 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: What was it like to interview for the Tennessee john. 397 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 9: A great experience really like Mike Worganzi their general manager, 398 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 9: Dave Zigglers, their assistant general manager, Reggie McKenzie's there, Chad Brinker. 399 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 9: Really good guys went down there. The interview was supposed 400 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 9: to be like I think from nine to twelve. We 401 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 9: went from about nine to fifteen to close to three o'clock, so, 402 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 9: you know, plenty of time to talk about football and 403 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 9: a vision for the team. 404 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: But are you thinking the long team the longer it 405 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: goes that, Like, you know, if it's only going to 406 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: go three hours and now it goes close to six hours, 407 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: in your mind, are you going you call your wife 408 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 2: and you say, man, I killed it? 409 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 9: You know, not so much that More than just I 410 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 9: love talking football, and I really like the guys they 411 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 9: put together there, some former general managers coming together, and 412 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 9: I think they have shared values and how to build 413 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 9: the team in a lot of ways. There's a blank 414 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 9: canvas down there, a really good young quarterback, an elite 415 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 9: defensive player playing defensive line for him, so he's awesome. 416 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 9: And it was just fun talking ball and sharing your 417 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 9: vision for what the team can be, and a really 418 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 9: good experience. 419 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 2: Talking to Jason Garrett NBC Football Night in America, studio analyst. 420 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: If you're coaching the Broncos, how do you use Jared 421 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 2: Stidham And are you using him in a way that 422 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: you are wouldn't be using bon Knicks. 423 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 9: You know, I think Sean will do a great job 424 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 9: with him. I played for Sean for three years. I 425 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 9: think one of his great traits is creating a comfortable 426 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 9: environment for quarterbacks, and I. 427 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 7: Think he'll do that. 428 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 9: I think Stidham's skill set is actually pretty similar to 429 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 9: bo Knix's. They both do a good job with movement plays, 430 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 9: play action type stuff. 431 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 7: Certainly capable for throwing the ball from the pocket. 432 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 9: You know. The concern is Jared Stidham has started four 433 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 9: games in the NFL, so he does not have that 434 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 9: much experience. So even though he's played in the NFL 435 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 9: for a while, he hasn't taken these game snaps, certainly 436 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 9: not in the AFC Championship game. So I think Sean 437 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 9: will have that in the forefront of his mind. He'll 438 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 9: get them comfortable in the game. Run the ball, movement plays, screens, 439 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 9: those kinds of things. Get them some completion. You know, 440 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 9: the guys at NBC hear me say this all the time. 441 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 9: Get them five completions before he even knows he's out there, 442 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 9: you know, And I think that's a big thing. As 443 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 9: a coordinator, that's always what you're trying to do for 444 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 9: your quarterbacks, certainly in big moments like this. So I 445 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 9: think their skill sets are the same. I don't think 446 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 9: they'll have to change that much, but I think Sean 447 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 9: will be mindful of how much he hasn't played. 448 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 7: I think I'll try to get them comfortable. 449 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: I'm wondering about these coaching vacancies, the pressure. I mean, 450 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: normally you don't have, you know, playoff teams, changing coaches. 451 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: You go into Buffalo, you're expected to go to the 452 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 2: AFC title game. I'm guessing you go to Baltimore, you're 453 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: expected to go to the AFC title game. You go 454 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 2: into Pittsburgh, you're expected to make the playoffs. This is 455 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: in Arizona, this is in Tennessee, this is in Cleveland. 456 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: I can't remember where you had vacancies where the pressure 457 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: was this, you know, ratcheted this high. 458 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no doubt. 459 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 9: And those are really good coaches who had coached for 460 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 9: a long time and build amazing programs, and to replace 461 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 9: those guys and then you know, like you said, racket 462 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 9: it up, take it to the next level. Those are 463 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 9: not easy things to do. I do think they're really 464 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 9: good organizations. Steelers is a great organization, Raven's great organization, 465 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 9: So Buffalo really good organization. So I do think that 466 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 9: they have some things in place there that you like 467 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 9: in all those spots. There's no question about that for me. 468 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: You know. 469 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 9: The other thing, you know, some of those teams that 470 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 9: have not been as good. You know, all of a sudden, 471 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 9: you're looking at what Mike Vrabel did in New England. 472 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 9: Hey they won four they don't won four games last 473 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 9: year and then the AFC Championship game, So all of 474 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 9: a sudden, there's an expectation there that you're supposed to 475 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 9: flip it around in year one, and I think ownership 476 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 9: in those spots needs to be careful. I think those 477 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 9: are exceptions go back in the history of football. It's 478 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 9: hard to turn things around. And then even if you 479 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 9: look at a team like Washington, dan Quinn did such 480 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 9: an amazing job in year one and now that they've 481 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 9: kind of fallen back to the mean, if you will. 482 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 7: So I think you want to build. 483 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 9: It the right way regards of where you're coming from 484 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 9: and if you go into those places, you got to 485 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 9: be careful about trying to copy the guy who was 486 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 9: there before. You better be yourself. I think a lot 487 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 9: of mistakes are made when guys try to copy what's 488 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 9: been there. Be yourself and get yourself going. 489 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 2: It feels like we're not going to give Seattle credit 490 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: until we see Seattle winning a super Bowl. Like it 491 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: just felt like regular season, Okay, I mean toughest division, 492 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: and it almost feels like people are rooting for the 493 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 2: Rams because the Rams look like, you know, hey, I 494 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: got Stafford there, and I got Pookinakua and Sean McVay. Like, 495 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: Seattle's just played great football. I just don't know if 496 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 2: we've acknowledged the great football that they played from start 497 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 2: to finish. 498 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, Seattle was really really good middle of the year. 499 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 9: I went out there and I interviewed Sam Darnold and 500 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 9: got a chance to spend the day there watch practice, 501 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 9: be around the meetings and walk throughs and stuff, and 502 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 9: I just love I just love everything about their team. 503 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 9: I think they've built it the right way again, created 504 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 9: a great environment for their quarterback. Jsn is an elite 505 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 9: player on offense, but but for me, you know what 506 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 9: separates them as their defense on all three levels. These 507 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 9: guys are really really good, and I think they're head 508 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 9: coach and defensive genius. Mike McDonald is fantastic, and you know, 509 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 9: I have a good story about him. I've gotten to 510 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 9: know him a little bit over the last couple of years. 511 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 7: And so we're. 512 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 9: Talking about, you know, building, you know, everyone talks about 513 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 9: building culture and all of that. And I said, you've 514 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 9: done an amazing job here And I said, you know, 515 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 9: what have you done? And he was so honest and humble. 516 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 9: He said, last year, I had no idea what I 517 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 9: was doing. 518 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 7: He said, I have no idea. You kind of dive 519 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 7: into it. You just are reeling. 520 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 9: But he said, after after the season, got a chance 521 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 9: to sit down and really think about what you want 522 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 9: to build here. And you know, Pete Carroll had done 523 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 9: a great job building a certain culture there and and 524 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 9: and I asked him, I said, hey, is this just 525 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 9: like you, you know, trying to replicate what happened in Baltimore, 526 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 9: that that's your experience. And he said yeah, in some 527 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 9: ways because I was there for so long. But he 528 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 9: said I also pulled back and said, you know, this 529 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 9: has to be our culture in the environment we create. 530 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 9: So keeping some of the good stuff from Pete Carroll absolutely, 531 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 9: some of the stuff from the Ravens absolutely, some of 532 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 9: the stuff from our players and coaches, things that they 533 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 9: think are important. 534 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 7: Absolutely. And then at the end of it, he says, 535 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 7: you know, if. 536 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 9: The culture was all about my personality, we'd be really boring. 537 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: So we don't. 538 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 10: We don't want to be that, you know. 539 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 9: And so to me, he's so he's so good at 540 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 9: what he does, but he's so humble, and I think 541 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 9: what he's created there and what they've created there, John 542 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 9: Schneider a great job with the personnel. 543 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 7: I love their team. 544 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: Jay's good to talk to you again, Thanks for joining us. 545 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, enjoy the game this weekend. 546 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: That's Jason Garrett, NBC Football Night in America studio analyst. 547 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 548 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: the nation.

He's starting to play 559 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: a little bit better basketball, right. 560 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 10: I absolutely agree. 561 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 4: But before we get to that, Okay, doctor Theodore, since 562 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 4: you're being a therapist, Okay, I kind of want to 563 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 4: talk about the moment seat and bro because trust me, 564 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 4: I have a million of them, but things that stick 565 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 4: with me and I just want to talk about this. 566 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 4: And while I'm talking about this, Poly can probably pull 567 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 4: this up. Nineteen ninety four, We're in the conference finals 568 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 4: versus the Knicks. This is coming off Game five, the 569 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 4: twenty five point quarter. 570 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 10: My beloved Pacers go up. 571 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 4: Three to two, coming home to Indiana to close out 572 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 4: the series. It could be a trip to the NBA Finals. 573 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 4: Our first, you would think home court advantage. I felt 574 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 4: that we have broken the wheel of the Knicks. The 575 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 4: start of that game, the Knicks get off to a 576 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 4: great start. I mean they're by as many as fifteen 577 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 4: to twenty points on us. We scratch, we claw our 578 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 4: way back in. We have a big third and fourth quarter. 579 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 4: We crawl all the way back into this ballgame. Being 580 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 4: down double digits, I get fouled. We're down two. I'm 581 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,239 Speaker 4: going to the free throw line in our building. And 582 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 4: you know this, Theodore. Being a shooter score, it's sometimes 583 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 4: just breaking the will of your opponent because you can 584 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 4: tell you can look at in your opponent's eyes and 585 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 4: you know when they're about ready to crack. I feel 586 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 4: if I make both of these free throws and we 587 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 4: go up one with about two three minutes left, I 588 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 4: will have broken them. This is it because they were 589 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 4: ready to fold anyways. But they had played great all 590 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 4: the way up to this point. I go me, I 591 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 4: go one for two, and it's a tie ball game. 592 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: And Dan, you know this. There's a difference between tied 593 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 4: and being up, because all they did was exhale is. 594 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 4: They didn't get the lead, and they went on to 595 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 4: be just in game six and we lost game seven. 596 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 4: So to answer, it's that moment that keeps me up 597 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 4: because I should not miss free throws, especially in a 598 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 4: moment like that, because they were ready to fold. 599 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 10: Like a chair. 600 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 4: I had them on the precipice of being broken, and 601 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 4: I let them off the hook. So if there's something 602 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 4: that haunts me a moment, it's that damn free throw. 603 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: That's why it just kills me because it kills me. 604 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 4: One of the best free throw shooters ever in the NBA, 605 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 4: I miss a free throw in that moment, it kills me. 606 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 4: It really kills me because they were ready to be broken. Okay, 607 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 4: what do you want to know about the NBA? 608 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: What about the Knicks now? Like they're talking about trading 609 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns. I thought that Mike Brown and we 610 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: got to get rid of TIBs and no, no, this 611 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: is a team that can go to the NBA Finals. 612 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: What's wrong with them? 613 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 10: And they still can go to the NBA Finals. 614 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 4: But let's be real that Karl Anthony Town's trade demands 615 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: or everyone talking about it, that's nothing new. They were 616 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 4: talking about doing that last year, even before they made 617 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 4: the coaching change. Look, something just isn't clicking chemistry wise 618 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 4: in that locker room and having a chance to cover 619 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 4: a few of their games this year, and I'm surprised 620 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 4: because karl Anthene Towns last year under Thibbs averaged twenty 621 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 4: four points thirteen rebounds, All Star, All NBA Performer this year. 622 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 4: Numbers can considerably down, still good twenty points, eleven rebounds, 623 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 4: but his shooting is atrocious. 624 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 9: Now. 625 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 4: I know it's a new offense, there's more pace a space, 626 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 4: and there's more flow, but he just doesn't look comfortable 627 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 4: under Mike Brown's system. And don't get me started on 628 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 4: the defense, which was fantastic under coach Dibbs. As we 629 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 4: know he is a defensive minded coach. Their defense is atrocious, 630 00:32:54,200 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 4: so chemistry balance, Look, Mike Brown says it was going 631 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 4: to be a while. Look, they've won the Cup a 632 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 4: month ago and everyone was patting them on the back 633 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 4: and they've gone I believe seven or eleven since then, 634 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 4: and they just have not played great basketball on either end. 635 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 2: We were talking earlier about Jimmy Butler's injury and what 636 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: this means for Golden State because they're not going to 637 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 2: be challenging for a championship here unless if you trade 638 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 2: Jonathan Kaminga and you bring in I don't know, Klay 639 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: Thompson or Damar DeRozan or I don't know, but he 640 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: got Steph at thirty seven and you know that window 641 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 2: is really closing here reg. 642 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 4: Halfway closed, and especially now with the injury to Butler, 643 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 4: almost closed unless something drastically happens. Look, Mike Dunley Junior, 644 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 4: the general manager, has gone on record and say we 645 00:33:53,440 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 4: cannot continue to waste these prime golden years of Stephen 646 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 4: Curry and Draymond Green to a certain degree. I mean, 647 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 4: he's thirty five, so I wouldn't be surprised if they 648 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 4: made a subtle move. I like the DeMar DeRozan. I know, again, 649 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 4: another older player, but a proven player and a proven score. 650 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 4: But what do you give up? I know Sacramento all 651 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 4: along has wanted Jonathan Kaminga, And now this is going 652 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 4: to be an interesting dynamic because now if you're Steve 653 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 4: Kerr and the coaching staff and you look down on 654 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 4: the end of the bitch and you see Kamina after 655 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 4: the injury to Jimmy Butler and you're asking him, oh, 656 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 4: now can you come play for us when you haven't 657 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 4: played me at all, I'm not going for that. If 658 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 4: I'm Kaminga, something has to happen. Or if I'm Stephen Curry, 659 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 4: maybe I opened up my roleodex. Wow, and maybe it's 660 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 4: time that I call someone in the Midwest by the 661 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 4: name of Jannis Antetokumpo, say, look, what you've done in 662 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 4: Milwaukee has been fabulous. It's been great. You brought them 663 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 4: a championship there first in fifty years. But the time 664 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 4: is now, You're you're getting older. I'm certainly knocking on 665 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 4: Father Time's door. 666 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: Wait a minute, but how do you pull that off? 667 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 4: Red? I'm gonna know how you do it. You give 668 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 4: up everyone but Stephen Curry and hopefully not Draymond Green, 669 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 4: but everyone else on the roster. 670 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 2: Is I'll give you a Draymond Green I don't need. 671 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 2: If I get Yannis, I'll take my chances. I don't 672 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 2: want to. I'd hate for that to hold up the trade. 673 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 2: If you were gonna get be honest. 674 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 4: If they can get y honest by any means necessary, 675 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 4: that is something Mike Dunman Leavy is gonna have to 676 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 4: certainly think about. 677 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 10: But Jannis has to be open to that as well. 678 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 4: Because the Bucks aren't going anywhere either, right, They're kind 679 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 4: of stuck in mud too, So I think it he 680 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 4: doesn't owe them any favors. 681 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 2: He's done his job, okay, But who's most likely to 682 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 2: trade for Jannis. 683 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 4: I would say in New York. I think New York 684 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 4: probably has more assets. You could throw in Michel Bridges, 685 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 4: maybe og Josh Hart, some picks Carlin. I don't know 686 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 4: if I want karl Anthony Towns. If if I'm Milwaukee, No, 687 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 4: you got Myles Turner there, that's almost the same. I 688 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 4: don't know if I want both of those guys there. 689 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 4: So the carl Anton Towns is not that attractive in Milwaukee. 690 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 4: But I think the pairing of Jannis and Steph that's fascinating. 691 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 4: That is that's pretty fascinating. 692 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 2: Could you see Steph? What Steph ever has to be traded? 693 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 4: No, Okay, I think he's in the same boat as 694 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 4: as Jannis. They will never publicly ask for a trade. 695 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 2: What feels like Milwaukee would trade Jannis. I don't think 696 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 2: Golden State would trade Steph unless Steph said, let me 697 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 2: help you get younger, let me go see if I 698 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 2: can win another championship. 699 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 4: I think if he went to ownership group and said 700 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 4: something like that behind closed doors, I think they would 701 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 4: do everything possible to trade him because right now his 702 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 4: value is high too. You know a parent where I 703 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 4: would love I would absolutely love to see Steph go. 704 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 4: What if Steph teamed up and they have assets. What 705 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 4: if he teamed up with Wimby in San Antonio? If 706 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 4: you could keep Wimby and maybe Castle, but everyone else 707 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 4: is in play and have Steph. 708 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 10: If you had those. 709 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 4: Three guys, Dylan Harper, great young player, ship them off, 710 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 4: Blue Cornett champion in Boston, another big guy, Ship them off. 711 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 4: Harrison Barnes who won a championship with the Warriors, Ship 712 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 4: them off. Kelvin Johnson great, Daron Fox, gotta go. 713 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 2: Okay, if San Antonio added Steph Curry, who's the team 714 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 2: to beat in the NBA and is Castle only? You 715 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: can keep Castle? You got Castle in Wemby. You lose Fox, 716 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 2: You're gonna lose Harper, Cornette and probably some draft picks. 717 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 10: They're currently where they are right now. 718 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,439 Speaker 2: I was still they're second in the West, the second 719 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:29,919 Speaker 2: right now. 720 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 4: So they would still be the second best team. 721 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 10: I would because of experience. 722 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 4: Obviously I'm gonna lean to it towards the champs, but 723 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 4: we've seen on a small sample still there are three 724 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 4: one us versus Okay, see this year. 725 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but. 726 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 4: That would be fascinating because you have a proven winner, score, 727 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 4: someone who could face the floor. And you know, I 728 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 4: was watching that game last night between this in the Rockets, 729 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 4: and for the life of me, I just don't know 730 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 4: why they wouldn't run pick and roll with de Aaron 731 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 4: Fox in Wimby almost every single play. How are you 732 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 4: going to guard that? They rarely run that, or even 733 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 4: with Stephen Stefan Castle, why wouldn't they run that almost exclusively? 734 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 4: How would you guard that? Either throw it to the rim, 735 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 4: pick and pop, pick and roll, they go under. That's 736 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 4: Stephen Curry and they go under. Boom, Baby. There's so 737 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 4: many things you could do with a de Aaron Fox 738 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 4: in Wimby. Pick and roll. Fox is just too good, 739 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 4: And to me, they're not using them as most as 740 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 4: they should. It's a shame because offensively they can be 741 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:47,919 Speaker 4: really good. 742 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 2: Talking to Reggie Miller the Hall of Famer and Coast 743 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 2: to Coast NBC and Peacock starting at to eight eastern, 744 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: somebody who's gonna get traded? It feels like this trade deadline, right, 745 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 2: big name. 746 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 4: Look, I think I've read everything too. You've probably heard 747 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 4: this that John Morant has pulled back his demands of 748 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 4: being traded Zion. That'd be a. 749 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 10: Look that's an interesting thing. 750 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 4: Maybe it's time for a change of place and scene 751 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 4: every for him as well. But I think Joe Dumars 752 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 4: kind of wants to see what he has with this 753 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 4: young core. What's the sample size on Zion? I mean, 754 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 4: how many games has he played? 755 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 2: Has He's played twenty nine games this year? But I 756 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 2: don't want Zion or Ja Morant. I don't want Lunch 757 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 2: or LaMelo Ball either. 758 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 4: Look, I think a change of pace for all three 759 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 4: of those guys might be in order. I know they're 760 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 4: all all injury prone, and I know they need the 761 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 4: basketball to be successful, but also they can be a 762 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 4: difference maker on a winning team, on a winning culture. 763 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 10: Maybe I don't know. 764 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 2: You got to see Cooper Flag in person. 765 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 4: He's the real deal, you know, because I wanted to 766 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 4: see how he really seeing it on TV versus seeing 767 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 4: how someone's change your pace, how they warm up, how 768 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 4: they approach the game when you see it in person 769 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 4: and up close for a nineteen year old, and I 770 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 4: give a lot of credit to whoever developed this young 771 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 4: man in terms of his fundamentals and footwork, and coach 772 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 4: Jason Kidd and his staff has done a fabulous job 773 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 4: of allowing him and listen to me carefully when I 774 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 4: say this, allowing him to fail, okay, because the project. 775 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 10: They did of putting him at point guard was brilliant 776 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 10: because at some point in time. 777 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 4: If you can have two or three playmakers on the floor, 778 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 4: and you know, I think I brought this up on air. 779 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 4: Coach K called Coach Kid and said, you know what, 780 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 4: we never thought about doing that. You know, we just 781 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 4: thought he was going to be a forward or though 782 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 4: a ball told me, it's like, this is fascinating, and 783 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 4: yeah he did. It wasn't great, but he passed a 784 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 4: lot of tests and it's only going to make him better. 785 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 4: So by failing, to me, the Mavericks got better because 786 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 4: he developed his game. This young man is going to 787 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 4: be the face of our game in another three to 788 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 4: five years because he has all the tools to be great. 789 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 2: He won't be the face because of Wemby though, and 790 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 2: Wemby's only two years older than him, isn't he Weby's 791 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,919 Speaker 2: Wemby's gonna You know, it's not often when you say 792 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 2: somebody changes the game, but somebody who is that skilled inside, outside, offensively, defensively. 793 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 2: I just think that the league is his for the 794 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 2: next decade. 795 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 4: If that's the case, then he's gonna have to play 796 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,439 Speaker 4: more than twenty eight minutes a game. 797 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 10: I need more Wimby. 798 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 4: I need Yeah, I need a guy that's gonna give 799 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 4: me thirty two to thirty eight and play sixty to 800 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 4: you know, seventy two games. 801 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 2: Your u c l A Bruins beat Purdue and these 802 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 2: students storm the floor. Reggie, this is UCLA. What's what? 803 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 2: What happened to the Bruins? They stormed the floor at home? 804 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 4: I know we got beating a rant team and produced 805 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 4: number one. 806 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 2: No, your u CLA, I know, you know, you don't know, 807 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 2: you're dang.
