Speaker 1: York Giants getting thrashed by the Seattle Seahawks. I have
Speaker 1: so many thoughts on this. You know, first of all,
Speaker 1: the Geno Smith story, the Seattle quarterback. It's really unique.
Speaker 1: There's just not a lot of comps bust, bounce around
Speaker 1: reborn pro bowler. It just doesn't happen. And you know
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this tonight. Is that I think
Speaker 1: if you've listened to me for any period of time,
Speaker 1: like I'm just not a romanticist with sports. I just
Speaker 1: don't care about the rearview mirror stuff at all. Like
Speaker 1: I want something that makes me win today. If I
Speaker 1: said to you right now, we all put about Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins in that twelve to thirteenth best quarterback in the league.
Speaker 1: If I said to you now, Geno Smith or Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: Geno Smith is younger, bigger, more mobile, and cheaper. I
Speaker 1: would take Gino Smith. Minnesota's moving off Kirk Cousins. Gino
Speaker 1: Smith passer rating last year over one hundred. This year
Speaker 1: after tonight probably at one hundred. This is who he is.
Speaker 1: He grew up, so he's six three two twenty. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins is about six three, two hundred to two oh five.
Speaker 1: Cousins is not mobile, folds like a deck chair when
Speaker 1: he gets hit. Gino Smith is a big, strong, younger athlete,
Speaker 1: and you're not paying nearly as much for him, So
Speaker 1: his his I mean, it's really interesting to watch him play.
Speaker 1: You just have to erase the first go around. And
Speaker 1: you know, in a lot of people are late bloomers
Speaker 1: in life, generally in pro sports at quarterback, you're just
Speaker 1: not granted that opportunity. A lot of people in a
Speaker 1: lot of careers, you know, they just they come from
Speaker 1: a bad place, a tough childhood. It takes him a
Speaker 1: while mid thirties to find themselves. You know. Unfortunately, professional sports,
Speaker 1: pro football is very cruel when it comes comes to quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: they want you to be mature and ready to roll
Speaker 1: at twenty one, twenty two years old, and Gino Smith wasn't.
Speaker 1: New York just engulfed him. But what a great story
Speaker 1: he is. And again he's he's a really good quarterback
Speaker 1: in the NFC. You know, he's one of those five
Speaker 1: or six guys that you know, big moves, experienced, accurate.
Speaker 1: NFC is pretty weak for quarterbacks. AFC is a different ballgame. NFC.
Speaker 1: You go in playoff games with Gino Smith, you cannot
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, who is now one for twelve in
Speaker 1: prime time oh for seven on Monday Night football. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the NFL and just open
Speaker 1: your mind to this. So Brian Dables trapped, great coach, trapped.
Speaker 1: He wanted the Chargers job. I think deep down he
Speaker 1: wanted Justin Herbert. He was friend with the GM Tom Telesco,
Speaker 1: but the Spanos family chose Brandon Staley. He's trapped. Now.
Speaker 1: You can't get out from under this quarterback contract. They
Speaker 1: can draft a quarterback, but they have so many needs.
Speaker 1: O line wide receiver, tight end, maybe another corner. They
Speaker 1: you know, they can't draft a quarterback to me in
Speaker 1: the first round. They're you know, they're invested in Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones and Brian Dable knows this. So teams move off
Speaker 1: coaches all the time before their contract. If you're Brian Dabele,
Speaker 1: end of the season, resign, call your agent. I know
Speaker 1: a team that would give up a first round pick,
Speaker 1: maybe a couple. Think about a team that has their quarterback,
Speaker 1: has their left tackle, has their center to call the audibles,
Speaker 1: has their rush end or two, has their receivers. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Chargers. They can give up a
Speaker 1: first round pick and maybe a second the following year.
Speaker 1: They have all the big boxes checked. They need another
Speaker 1: corner because the JC Jackson gamble is not paid off.
Speaker 1: They got all the boxes checked on the O line,
Speaker 1: on the perimeter as they've drafted exceedingly. Well, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying Brandon Staley's going to be replaced today, but if
Speaker 1: things don't work out, Kellen Moore, is he really ready
Speaker 1: to be an NFL head coach. He's a tremendous coordinator.
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to look at Brian Dable, go
Speaker 1: to your agent, get me out of here. Teams move
Speaker 1: off coaches all the time. Everything, folks, is negotiable. Everything
Speaker 1: is negotiable. I've had twelve contracts in my life. You'd
Speaker 1: be and I'm you know, I'm certainly not an NFL
Speaker 1: head coach. Everything's negotiable. We've seen it before, trading picks
Speaker 1: for coaches. Because I think Brian Dable is trapped. I
Speaker 1: think he has a great reputation. If he resigned at
Speaker 1: the end of the season, put his name out there,
Speaker 1: oh he would have more than one or two offers.
Speaker 1: Really respected guy. And I was thinking about the situation
Speaker 1: the Giants are in. So forget the AFC where you've
Speaker 1: got Mahomes and Burrow and Allen and Lamar Jackson and
Speaker 1: you know, Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert. Just think of
Speaker 1: the end, which is the weaker quarterback conference. So this
Speaker 1: morning I was writing some notes down I went and
Speaker 1: found it. So nine teams of the sixteen have a
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Daniel Jones in the NFC Rams, Dallas, Philly, Detroit, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Seattle, Arizona. When Kyler gets back and Gino
Speaker 1: Smith is better, excuse me, San Francisco, brock Purty is better.
Speaker 1: He is than Daniel Jones, I'm sorry you can say
Speaker 1: at Shanahan, whatever he performs at a higher level, Brock
Speaker 1: Purty so far performs at a higher level. We all
Speaker 1: know Daniel Jones was a reach at number six. We
Speaker 1: all know the contract was a reach. So you can
Speaker 1: count San Francisco or not. It's either eight of sixteen
Speaker 1: half the NFC or nine of sixteen. And the thing
Speaker 1: to worry about the bottom of the NFC is much
Speaker 1: worse than the bottom of the AFC. We know the
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to get beat up and not win
Speaker 1: a lot of games, but Chicago Atlanta for sure are
Speaker 1: going to get two of the best quarterbacks, much higher
Speaker 1: prospects than Daniel Jones was, so they'll get like Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: a Drake may A, Michael Pennix, much better quarterback talents
Speaker 1: than Daniel Jones. And those teams for four years won't
Speaker 1: have to pay the quarterback, so they can load up
Speaker 1: on the roster and have a better quarterback. And then
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay could fall in that. So you got at
Speaker 1: least half of the NFC that has a better quarterback,
Speaker 1: and then you have three or four teams at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the NFC, A Chicago Atlanta at Tampa and
Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe somebody else in the NFC that
Speaker 1: can grab a quarterback that's more talented than Daniel and
Speaker 1: load up on their roster. They're in a really, really
Speaker 1: tough spot, the New York Giants. And again this game
Speaker 1: tonight was a blowout. So I counted eight blowouts, and
Speaker 1: with the exception of Burrow losing to Tannehill, the other
Speaker 1: seven blowouts were a good quarterback blowing out a weaker quarterback.
Speaker 1: And as I talked about yesterday, as this league, I
Speaker 1: said this like four years ago, the only downside to
Speaker 1: making this league so offensive is that increasingly there's only
Speaker 1: one way to win. You got to get the quarterback right,
Speaker 1: and then you better have a left tackle to protect
Speaker 1: him right like there used to be boxes you had
Speaker 1: to check. And we all know you need a pass
Speaker 1: rush or a left tackle a quarterback. But what happens
Speaker 1: TJ Wat's great steels got blown out yesterday. Why they're
Speaker 1: not very good on the offensive line, at quarterback or
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. So you know, you start you start looking
Speaker 1: around right now, and you know the Giants are trapped
Speaker 1: with an average quarterback that's overpaid and too many positions
Speaker 1: to fill on offensive line and wide receiver to you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go again for a quarterback. I
Speaker 1: would have no problem with it. They do have their
Speaker 1: left tackle. But my guess is the Giants will win
Speaker 1: enough games in the NFC six or seven that they'd
Speaker 1: have to trade up, give up picks. Maybe they do that,
Speaker 1: but I got news for you. Chicago, Atlanta, and Arizona
Speaker 1: are not trading down if they want to take quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I mean, these quarterbacks are really good prospects. If the
Speaker 1: Giants are behind teams and they're mostly NFC teams, those
Speaker 1: teams are not letting the Giants, you know, unless they
Speaker 1: give them seven picks. They're not letting the Giants move
Speaker 1: ahead of them. You know, a New England would for
Speaker 1: picks and stay with mac Jones another year, but an
Speaker 1: NFC team wouldn't. What a mess. And I got to say,
Speaker 1: Devon Wetherspoon, the rookie for Seattle for years and years,
Speaker 1: pivot back to Seattle for years and years. Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: went from college to the pros and for three to
Speaker 1: four straight years own the draft. Because he had recruited
Speaker 1: so many of those players, he had such an advantage
Speaker 1: on personnel. You know, Belichick's a pro football guy. He's
Speaker 1: not watching college football on Saturdays. And you can see
Speaker 1: it in the draft. Pete Carroll came out of college.
Speaker 1: These college coaches that go to the NFL first three
Speaker 1: or four years, they have this institutional advantage, right like
Speaker 1: of all this high school college personnel. You know, they
Speaker 1: watch these kids. They watched them in high school, they
Speaker 1: watched them in college. They can find fifth and six
Speaker 1: round guys that they know can play that they recruited.
Speaker 1: And then I thought got too much power in Seattle
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowls. It frustrated John Snyder, who interviewed
Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions. Paul Allen passed away. You know,
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a vacuum of power
Speaker 1: grab and Pete had it because he had the ring
Speaker 1: and the experience and the charisma and the brand, and
Speaker 1: so Pete had a little too much power. So John
Speaker 1: Snyder says, I'm going to go to Detroit, run it
Speaker 1: and have some more power. Finally they came to terms.
Speaker 1: John signed a new deal and has more power now
Speaker 1: in the draft, and they have crushed back to back
Speaker 1: drafts crushed them and so and that's not a knock
Speaker 1: on Pete. You know, Belichick's got too much power, and
Speaker 1: he reads one of those guys that could have power
Speaker 1: and gives Brett Veach the room. He's not interested in it,
Speaker 1: right like. But a lot of coaches they want to
Speaker 1: say in the draft, and I get it, you know,
Speaker 1: Bill Parcells, if I have to make the dinner, I
Speaker 1: want to be able to shop for groceries. So I
Speaker 1: think Seaddle's really got it figured out. See, you know
Speaker 1: you've got the great coach, Pete Carroll with younger players.
Speaker 1: John Snyder now has more control in saying the draft
Speaker 1: and it all works out. So Devon Witherspoon had a night.
Speaker 1: He's the corner from Illinois. There was two great corners
Speaker 1: in the draft. The other was Christian Gonzales to the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Who's tremendous. He's a bigger, stronger. I think, well, he's bigger.
Speaker 1: He got hurt yesterday and the Patriots defense folded. So
Speaker 1: you got to feel good about where Seattle is at.
Speaker 1: Two good backs now Walker and the kid from UCLA
Speaker 1: pass rush pretty good today, pretty lively tonight. The Giants.
Speaker 1: I know you think I'm crazy, suggesting Brian Dabole resign
Speaker 1: and just say anybody willing to give picks up? I
Speaker 1: think plenty would. Dabell's reputation is great. I feel bad
Speaker 1: for the guy. I mean when he goes to the
Speaker 1: sidelines and visibly shows his frustration with Daniel Jones. He
Speaker 1: knows that's on TV, it's New York. He knows that
Speaker 1: that's how frustrated he was with Daniel Jones. A reach
Speaker 1: at number six. Contract was a reach and here you are.

Speaker 1: I thought that, like Josh Allen, a second year with
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele, Daniel Jones. You know, he only had fifteen
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year, but he only had a handful of picks.
Speaker 1: His passer rating went out, his completion percentage. I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: he'll make another leap this year. I didn't think he
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen, but two years with Brian Dable. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you go look at most quarterbacks like Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: got Kyle Shanahan like it a lot of times it's
Speaker 1: the second year they really connect. But instead, you know,
Speaker 1: Boomy hit a ceiling. This is what Daniel Jones is.
Speaker 1: There is nowhere else to go. And I think I
Speaker 1: think Dabell knows it. You know, it's Daniel Jones. Maybe
Speaker 1: a little vanilla ice, you know, it's a not a
Speaker 1: one hit wonder, but maybe a one album wonder. Did
Speaker 1: Vanilla have three or four albums that crushed? I don't
Speaker 1: think he did, so, you know, I thought I thought
Speaker 1: the Giants could battle for a playoff spot. I don't
Speaker 1: think I had him in the playoffs. In the NFC,
Speaker 1: I had Philly, Dallas, Saints, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle and
Speaker 1: the Alliance. And that's where we are today. Atlanta's looking bad.
Speaker 1: Whole division NFC South is all right. Instant reaction on
Speaker 1: a Monday. For the record, my eyes get a little
Speaker 1: red as the night goes on, and I don't have
Speaker 1: any viazine in the house. So a lot of you
Speaker 1: guys make these comments. You think I'm out there, you know,
Speaker 1: with spleef Mary Jane, I'm not. I don't watch games
Speaker 1: and drink. That's what people do at sports bars. I'm
Speaker 1: ready to go and locked in. Uncle Colin gets tired,
Speaker 1: get red eyes. He guys taken shots at me. I
Speaker 1: think I'm running a saloon back here. I had peas
Speaker 1: and salmon for dinner for diet coke. You heard of
Speaker 1: the world's most interesting man. I'm the world's most boring man.
Speaker 1: Watching the Giants in Seattle I'm loving it. That's my
Speaker 1: instant reaction. The volume
