6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: Wednesday Morning Podcast, the Great American sports storyteller Dave Wantstat,

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: former Bears coach. We're gonna we're gonna talk some Justin Fields,

8
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: some Timmy Tebow speaking to Tebow. People not in the

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: media often like to lecture me on how to do media.

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't tell my doctor how to do

11
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: my proctology exam. I don't tell a landscaper how to landscape.

12
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't want into a restaurant and tell the cook

13
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: how to cook. They like to say, why do you

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: waste your time on Tebow? And I like to respond,

15
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: why do you waste your time asking me? I talk

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: Tebow because he's newsworthy. No, he's not there. You go

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: lecturing again. We have a handful of people in news

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: who whenever they do anything, we talk about it, Athletes, politicians,

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: TV stars, singers, and they do something big like return

20
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: to the NFL. Reunite with your legendary college coach who's

21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: now coaching in the NFL. Yeah, that's what we call newsworthy. Listen,

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: when Kanye West said he was running for president and

23
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: starting an actual campaign, we're going to talk about it

24
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: because we look at the Google numbers and you're interested.

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Jake Paul YouTuber, I'm gonna fight. Then he keeps winning fights,

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: and then his pay per view numbers are substantial. That

27
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: tells us that you're interested. Before Donald Trump ran for president,

28
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: he was newsworthy. Divorces, controversies, bankruptcies, successes. He wasn't newsworthy,

29
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: all you conservatives. If it wasn't for the media talking

30
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: about a candidate nobody gave a shot to, he wouldn't

31
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: have been president. Do you know that in twenty nineteen,

32
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: the most googled person was an athlete. No, it wasn't

33
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Tiger Woods. It was Antonio Brown. When

34
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: people say Tebow's not going to be a super important player,

35
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: it's not always the best or most important player that

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: you find newsworthy. In twenty fifteen, the most googled person

37
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: was an athlete. It wasn't Lebron or Roger Federer, it

38
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: was lamar Odom. You made him Newsworthy. Newsworthiness is a business,

39
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: and there are a handful of people out there that

40
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: drive interest. Virtually nobody can name the fourth tight end

41
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: on the Jaguar's depth chart. Most people can only name

42
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: a handful of people on the entire Jack's roster. We

43
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: all know Tebow because he's interesting. Don't blame me for

44
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: talking about him. Blame him. If Tebow had more self

45
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: awareness and understood that, you know, leaving a sport for

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: nearly a decade and then coming back to try a

47
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: new position is really kind of silly. I wouldn't have

48
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: talked about him. I was done talking about him. In fact,

49
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: years ago, at the end of his NFL career, I

50
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: said he probably should go give the CFL a try.

51
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: He really fits that style. I was told. Tebow laughed

52
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: at such a suggestion. Don't kid yourself. This is business

53
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: and this is ego. He's a human being, humble at times,

54
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: very much driven by the brand of Tebow, which pays

55
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: him well other times. Listen. The only reason Europe upset

56
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: that I talked Tebow because you don't like the way

57
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: it ended. People always say that I don't like you

58
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: talking Tebow. Let me ask you if he'd have made

59
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the team. Should I have ignored it? Interesting, Colin, stick

60
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: to sports. I always hear that from conservatives because I

61
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: tend to kind of lean left on social issues. Stick

62
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: to sports. And then once I put Will Kine on

63
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: my podcast, I got nothing but credit. Tip of the cap.

64
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: My man loved that podcast. You like politics from me

65
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: when you agree with them. I talked Tebow because I

66
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: find him interesting. I was done talking Tim Tebow. If

67
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow never tries to be a pro athlete again,

68
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever talk about him. But he's

69
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: interested sometimes in himself and his impractical dreams. When he

70
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: wants to stop, I'll stop, all right. Dave Juanstat, former

71
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: coach of the Bears and Dolphins, dal us defensive coordinator

72
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl twenty seven win, coach college football too.

73
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: You're having bourbon as we talk right now? What kind

74
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: of bourbon? I'm only allowed to drink one? Terry Bradshaw bourbon? Yes?

75
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: Is any good? All? I know? It's one hundred and

76
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: four proof. It's strong. Normal bourbon is about eighty eight.

77
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: This is one oh four Terry Terry doesn't mess around.

78
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Dave Wonstat and I are going to

79
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: dinner next week in Chicago because he has a place

80
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: there and I recently bought a little tiny place there,

81
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: and so he's going to show me all his hangouts

82
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: and introduced me to all his kind of favorite haunts

83
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: with his beautiful wife jan and so I can't wait

84
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: for that. Let's dive into a couple of things. So

85
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: you're one of those people that I text from time

86
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: to time if I have a question. And when Tebow

87
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: first signed with Jacksonville in the ninety man roster, I said,

88
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: what do you think? And you pose the question, does

89
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: he understand how hard it is to block? Forget forget

90
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: the catching passes thing. You said, there's no way he

91
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: can come back into the league and block at a

92
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: high level. So you're probably not surprised by his struggles

93
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: in that department. No, I saw some highlights of the game.

94
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: I watched some of it, and you know that. I mean,

95
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: think about it. The guy not only has he been

96
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: on the league, but he's played a quarterback position. He

97
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: does have the size and strength, but he's lining up

98
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: against two against Khalil Matt that's the guys. He's trying

99
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: to block the defensive ends, and I never thought that

100
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: that would happen. And he's really not athletic enough, in

101
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: my opinion, or fast enough at this point in his

102
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: career to be one of those tight ends that you

103
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: move out wide and he's going to be the safety

104
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: one on one. So I think I think it was

105
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: a great effort he was, but he was in a

106
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: tough spot. He really was. He should be an assistant

107
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: coach for Urban mart That's what he should do. Bourbon's

108
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: trying to help the culture in the locker room. Higher

109
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Tebow is an offensive assistant. Let him get starting coaching. Yeah,

110
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those things. Dave. I was

111
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: talking to Mark Schlareth about this, and he said, people

112
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: don't understand. There's a lot of people in the stands

113
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: that could catch a football or throw it, but there's

114
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: very few people in the stands that could go up

115
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: against the two hundred and seventy pound defensive end and

116
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: block him. In your career, who Mike Ditko was a

117
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: legendary blocking and catching tight end. Yeah, but most great

118
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: blocking tight ends they've got a nasty streak. I mean,

119
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Gronk could be a tough guy. You know, George Kittle,

120
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: tough guy. Those guys could be pro wrestlers. They just

121
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: like contact. When I looked at the Tebow footage, Dave,

122
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: he didn't like the contact. He's a quarterback. He's never

123
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: hit anybody, right, right, no, it, you're right. All those

124
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: tight ends that you mentioned, that's the stereotype complete tight end.

125
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: When we were scouting, we used to say, Okay, is

126
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: the guy receiving tight end? Is he a blocking tight end?

127
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Or is he complete tight end? And the guys that

128
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the Grounks of the world, were complete tight ends.

129
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: And obviously Tim Tebow does not follow that category. So

130
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: it was a good effort. But I'm glad they did

131
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: this early. Now he can move on and start, you know,

132
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: getting his offense and Trevor Lawrence and company ready to go.

133
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: So you know I said about the Bear situation is

134
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton's always been as good as his supporting cast.

135
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: I think Justin Field's going to be really successful. Here's

136
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: what I worry about. They're rebuilding their offensive line. You

137
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: know the end of the year eight and eight in

138
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: Chicago and they were really bad down the stretch. So

139
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, Okay, they'll solve some of their

140
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: problems in free agency. They didn't. They'll solve some of

141
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: their issues in the draft. They only had two picks

142
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: in the first four owns, so they didn't get one

143
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: of the four or five best offensive linemen. My issue

144
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: is offensively, I don't think this is very talented. I

145
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: think Justin Fields is going to have to carry them

146
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: at times, and that's what I worry about. How I mean,

147
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: how talented do you think the Bears are offensively? Well,

148
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's happened, And for our viewers, our listeners,

149
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: I was up in practice and I'm pretty close to

150
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: this situation. I do a lot of shows for him

151
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: here as you know, in Chicago. And two things happened

152
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: about two or three weeks ago. They signed Jesse James,

153
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: a big six six tight end, and they got rid

154
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver, Miller. That kind of turned a

155
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: light on and I said, oh, this is going to

156
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: be interesting. Then Matt Naggie comes out and says we're

157
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna play everybody in the preseason. Last year two years ago,

158
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: that was a no no. We weren't going to take

159
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: a chance we were. You know, it gave you a

160
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: soft mentality, at least me. So now they're gonna play

161
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: Khalil Mac play in the opening game, Okay, everybody plays,

162
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: and then I look at the stats twenty seven passes

163
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: and twenty four runs. I really think if they can

164
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: stay that balanced, that defense is going to play fifty

165
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: five plays a game. They've got a top ten defense,

166
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: they've got an excellent kickers and the special teams, and

167
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: you've got you know, the best thing that an offensive

168
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: lineman can do, or the easiest thing if I had

169
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: a lot of these type of guys that weren't as talented,

170
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: is the competition. And if you asked every one of them,

171
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: they would say, coach, let us run the ball. Running

172
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: the football is easier for an offensive lineman that's not

173
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: as experienced, that's not as talented as compared to the

174
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: other side. So now the Bears, if they come out,

175
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: let these young, inexperienced offensive lineman run the ball with Montgomery,

176
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: who I think it's a narrated player that's going to

177
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: take a lot of pressure off of Dalton or Fields,

178
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: and that's going to give that defensive chance. You know,

179
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: something's telling me deed done that, whether it was McCaskey

180
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: talking to Matt Naggie or him reading a book, or

181
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: it was Ryan Pace, the general manager. But the light

182
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: has gone on. There's different things happening at the Chicago

183
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: Bears this year that have not happened since he's been there.

184
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: Is Cole Commet a good blocking tight end. He's the

185
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: complete tight end, exactly what you were referencing earlier. Cole

186
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: Commet is six six and he can run for eight

187
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: four nine, and he can block with the best of them.

188
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: He's a complete tight end. This guy's a star. And

189
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: they got boxed in a little bit because of signing

190
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, you know from Green Bay and New we

191
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: all know Seattle, and Jimmy's a veteran guy. So I

192
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: think they helped commit back a little bit. That's not

193
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen anymore. So if they are going to become

194
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: a power offense, yep, you would go with justin Fields

195
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: to start game one? No, I would not. I would

196
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: start Dalton for this reason. And when I was at practice,

197
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton throws a simple little curl route and I'm

198
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: standing there in the sidelines. There's probably five hundred thousand

199
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: people a practice. Nobody moves five plays later Justin Fields

200
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: because in there and throws the same play, same receiver,

201
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: he catches it. A thousand people are under feet screaming,

202
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, the point is that this

203
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: town is so hot for Justin Fields that it's gonna happen.

204
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: And Andy's being paid a lot of money. He's a

205
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: vetter and he's saying all the right things. I'd let

206
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: him start off. I would have Justin Fields say you're

207
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: gonna play in this first game. I don't know how much.

208
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens, though. If the worst thing they

209
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: could do is put this kid in there, and if

210
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: he fails and fails early, boy, quarterbacks can lose their confidence.

211
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: And now the locker rooms looking around, and you got

212
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: all those issues. So I would go with Dalton to

213
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: start off. I would play Fields in the first game,

214
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: and it's gonna take care of itself. Matt Naggie cannot

215
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: listen to the fans if he makes a decision, because

216
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: with the fans want there's an old expression, you listen

217
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: to the people in the stand. Sooner or later you'll

218
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: be sitting with them. How many snaps are they sharing

219
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: first team snaps because that's crucial. You know the other

220
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: day when twa and we'll get to him in a second,

221
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: because you coach the Dolphins, ta played the Bears. Two

222
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: has taken all the first team snaps in Miami. Justin

223
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: Justin Fields isn't. Yeah, two is a starter. Yes, I

224
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: mean he starts fields is not right now? And I

225
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: think you think about this and Matt Nagee kind of

226
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: fish Tier a little bit on this the other day.

227
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: But the one thing that I will say about Matt,

228
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: and I know him and Ryan Pace in the McCaskey family,

229
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: they are people of high integrity, and they told Andy Dalton,

230
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: you come here and you're gonna be the starter. I

231
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: just think that that's part of it that they want

232
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: to hold to their commitment of this kid. And I

233
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna happen. They open up Sunday night

234
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles against the Rams, so it's gonna it's

235
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. I don't know, if I put

236
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think there's a quarterback in

237
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: the league that would want to start under you know

238
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, right, No, they wouldn't. There's a reason FanDuel

259
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: so you and I are on the same page. I'd

260
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: start Dalton against the MS. I'd have some, you know,

261
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: I'd have some. I don't know what i'd do. I

262
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: would have a series of maybe six plays. I'd let

263
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: him watch learn and just let Andy take one for

264
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: the team. And then I know this, when Justin Fields

265
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: comes in, I want him taking all the number one

266
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: snaps that week. I don't want these guys sharing snaps

267
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: throughout them. I think you have to go with Dalton,

268
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: and then if it works and you win, you go

269
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: with Dalton again. You don't pull him out. But my

270
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: takeaway is, don't split snaps. Whoever starting gets all of

271
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: them right. And you know what it caught me about

272
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: the Bears game. People have to realize how big Justin

273
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Fields is. And when he breaks the line of scrimmage,

274
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: he's six two sixty three two twenty five. I mean,

275
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: there's not many defensive backs that really want to come up.

276
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: And he's gonna make a lot of big runs because

277
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, the way guys tackle, I

278
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: think he's gonna run past and through a lot of

279
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: those secondary he gonna make a lot of play for him.

280
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: I thought that I evaluated all these quarterbacks last weekend.

281
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: We can get into that. I thought Fields, I thought

282
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: that Zach Wilson was the best. I was totally. I

283
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: had never seen this kid play much, and I'm watching

284
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: him at the Jets game and I said, wow, I mean,

285
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: I was he caught my attention. I thought, just accuracy, Uh,

286
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: this quick decision making. The ball came out and he

287
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 1: was completing. To me, he was converting third downs and

288
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: there was a full speed pass rush coming at him.

289
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy got my attention. I thought that

290
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence were about the same. You know,

291
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: Trey Lancer, I thought he was He's got the farthest

292
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: way to go. I did not see Mac Jones play

293
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: in New England. I missed that game, but I saw

294
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: the rest of him. And I'll tell you the kid

295
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: at the Jets as a player, well, I mean, listen,

296
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: we knew this about him. You know, he had his

297
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: two comps or Aaron Rodgers and Johnny Manziel. He's got

298
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: a good feed, he moves well, and he's got a

299
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: very very quick release. He's got a better arm than Manziel.

300
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: And the one thing I liked about Zach Wilson is,

301
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Beckton, they have a left tackle. Darnold

302
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: never did, and then Elijah vera Tucker. Now they're going

303
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: to have, you know, arguably the best guard in the draft.

304
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: So one of the things I liked about him, despite

305
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: being a smallish quarterback, he's six two two ten. That's

306
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: that's that's smaller than you'd like. Aaron Rodgers is six

307
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: two two twenty five, thicker, big calfs, big wrists. Aaron's

308
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: a thicker athlete. But I thought Zach stood in the pocket.

309
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: And Trent Dilford told me this years ago. He goes

310
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: some guys Colin they don't like defensive lineman barking at him.

311
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: They don't like it. They get nervous. I thought Zach,

312
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: as a smaller quarterback, just stood as the pocket kept

313
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: closing and closing, and he just stood there. That's something

314
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: to me that there's a certain inner confidence. That was impressive.

315
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I would agree totally. You know, it's amazing all these

316
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks are playing well and all of the there's

317
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: so many teams right now that are talking about going

318
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and they want to anoint these

319
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, you know, I mean they want to bless

320
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: them already. I would just take you back. And we

321
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: went to Dallas with Troy aik went our first year,

322
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: and I think we might have been three in one.

323
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: But we were feeling real good about the preseason, and

324
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: we went down to New Orleans and be Justin Fields

325
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: made one comment that makes me a little nervous. He said,

326
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: the game wasn't nearly as fast as I thought it

327
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: would be. Okay, well, it wasn't nearly as fast for us.

328
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: We were driving back. We beat the Raiders, and you know,

329
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: we had never lost at University in Miami. Down there,

330
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy and myself and all the whole crew, and we're

331
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: d him back and I remember saying to myself, God,

332
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: this is gonna be easy. Yeah, what's the big game?

333
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: When we went down and played the Saints in New

334
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: Orleans and we got shut out and the only time

335
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: they didn't score is when they missed the field goal

336
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: or dropped the ball in the end zone. We were terrible.

337
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: We won one game that year, but in the preseason

338
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: we had a whole different feeling. So you know, I'm

339
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: pumping the brake. I love what I see how these

340
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks. But I'm kind of pumping the brakes a

341
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: little bit and saying, you know, it's gonna be a

342
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: different game. Justin fields slowed down, it's gonna be faster.

343
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Trust me, when you play get in that game against

344
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: the Rams and see Aaron Donald and company over there,

345
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot faster. Well, I mean, let's

346
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: be honest. In the preseason, the defense a quarterback seas

347
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: before the snap is the defense. You'll see. They're not

348
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: making their adjustments. They're not They're not hiding that they

349
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: want you to see vanilla stuff. No, if I was

350
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, I'm not showing you Jack squat in

351
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: the preseason, right, you know that? Good point. And to

352
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: add to that, I was talking to Bill Polian the

353
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: other day. I was doing something with him, and Bill

354
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: was an Indie when I was at the Dolphins, and

355
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: we were talking about the same thing. Callin and I said,

356
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, let me tell you about where rookie quarterbacks

357
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: get caught up. And I said, I had Jay Fiedler.

358
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: And Jay Fiedler was an I be League guy. He's

359
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: a smart guy. He was a winner he was a leader,

360
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, but he wasn't Peyton Man and he wasn't

361
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I mean, I got that, okay, but we

362
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: could but we won, you know, ten eleven games a year.

363
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: But the thing that would happen the way the NFL

364
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: is and everybody needs to think about this. These games

365
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: are going to come down to the last to the

366
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, maybe in the last couple of possessions. And

367
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: you don't know how many times Jay Feedler would walk

368
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: over and we would be standing there and I might say, Jay,

369
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, don't force that ball into too deep coverage

370
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: and he says, coaching, they're disguising it. They're really wanting

371
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: to play a three D. I know I can throw

372
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: it to whatever. A rookie quarterback is not going to

373
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: see that, I promise you, and right, and that's what's

374
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna separate guys. And I'm not going to use Andy Dalton,

375
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: but an Andy Dalton from a justin fields the fourth

376
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: quarter of that Rams game, when they start disguising and

377
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: changing coverages and changing fronts, and you've got to check

378
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: out of this and get them into this Andy Dalton

379
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: scene at all, he's gonna be able to communicate with

380
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: the coach and Justin Fields is going to be learning

381
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: and that, and that goes right across the board. I

382
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: used them as an example, but I think it goes

383
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: for every one of these rookie quarterbacks. That's what you're

384
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with. And then what's the situation.

385
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Nagan needs to win this year, you know,

386
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: and you know where the Jets, you know, they they're

387
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach. He's got time. So you got

388
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: to look at each situation and say, every coach has

389
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: a window when it's going to close on you. It

390
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: might be two years, three years, four years. Well, some

391
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: of these windows obviously the new head coach, some of

392
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: these windows are closing, makes a difference. Let's pivot to

393
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. You coach them for years. I really

394
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: think they're well coached. I mean, it's pretty remarkable. Last year,

395
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: in the second year of a rebuild, they were second

396
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: or third fewest pedalties, best third down defense, force, the

397
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: most turnovers. This is in the middle of a rebuild.

398
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: That's remarkable. That's what a veteran team like a Baltimore,

399
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: a New England with a veteran coaching staff does, so

400
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: we know they're well coached. And I was thinking this.

401
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, with it's not going to be

402
00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: the TWA won't win games. The issue with Tua. I mean,

403
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez got to back to back AFC championships. It's

404
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: not about winning games now for a coach, that may

405
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: be the only thing that matters. The question becomes in

406
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: the AFC is at some point in the postseason. This

407
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 1: is the trap of Tuah. They're so well coached and

408
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: he is an accurate thrower who won't make a ton

409
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: of mistakes, and there's a little fool's gold in that

410
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: you can win. You can win ten games, they may

411
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: go eleven and six, and I think he could. But

412
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Maholmes, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert, I

413
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: don't see him as a player who can carry you

414
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: in big spots against elite quarterbacks. So take me to

415
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: the Tua situation. What if he goes? What if he wins?

416
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: But you feel as a coach he is incredibly limited.

417
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: What are the discussions like behind closed doors? Oh, I

418
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: think you tried to do what you can do around them.

419
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: You know we won eleven games a year my first

420
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: two years at Miami and won a division and on

421
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: and on one a playoff game, blah blah blah. Okay,

422
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: and we knew that Jay Fiedler had limitations. Okay, it

423
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: was a free agent guy, wasn't a number one pick.

424
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: So I went out and made the trade for Ricky Williams,

425
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, we are going to

426
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: pick the slack up with a running game. And it

427
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: didn't get us to the Super Bowl. But Ricky led

428
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing and and and and did well.

429
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Uh So I think, when you know, I think it's

430
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: too early to make that determination on two and number

431
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: one and number two. Uh That's what I would look

432
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: at if I was a coach, I would say, Okay,

433
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: what can we do or what do we have to

434
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: do as a team to win and to get us

435
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: to that Super Bowl. I mean there's been a lot

436
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: of teams. I mean when we got eliminated my second

437
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: year at the Dolphins, we were eleven to five in

438
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: Baltimore beat us. They had the best defense in the

439
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: league with Ray Lewis and those guys. They went in

440
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: running the ball. I can't remember the running backs nay

441
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: now from Tennessee. But they were a run team, a

442
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: little bit of play action and play defense. So you

443
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: can do it a lot of different ways. You really can.

444
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: And but I think it's I'm so glad that to

445
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: have had some success because I was so afraid in

446
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: this I called him, you know, microwave NFL Nowadays, if

447
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen quick enough, you're out, and that they

448
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: give him some time now because he had some success.

449
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: I think the guy's gonna be gonna be good. I

450
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: really do. I think he's got the right intangibles. You know.

451
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: It's funny, Chicago is a much more rapid sports town

452
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: than Miami. We know that at Miami's much more transient.

453
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: Is that actually an advantage to tah Like in Chicago

454
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: there's this you know, talk radio, the newspaper. It's big

455
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: city media. They kicked the shit out of you. If

456
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you lose, they want you to. In Miami, you know,

457
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: they got a million other things to do. I always say,

458
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: once you add a beach, it's like adding another pro

459
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: team to a town. People are distracted? Is that an

460
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: advantage coaching? When you coached in Miami, did you feel like,

461
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: you know they don't pay quite as close attention, get

462
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: away with a little more as a coach. Oh, there's

463
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 1: there's no more. I mean, it's so true. There are

464
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: no comparison at Miami. You know, when we played the

465
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Jets and we played the Steelers and the Eagles, they

466
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: would have ten thousand fans there. You're not going to

467
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: see that in Chicago, you know. In Chicago. Yeah, you talked,

468
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: I lived the rabid fan thing in Chicago. Yeah, they

469
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: were talking about it. Impeach Bill Clinton and Dave wants that.

470
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: So I live in the say I might have been

471
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: an airplane. I can't remember. It might have been an

472
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: airplane flight over Soldier fe So yes, you know, they

473
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: are more rabbit here at UH in Chicago. I don't

474
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: know if that really helps you or not. At the end,

475
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they're going to look

476
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: at your record. When when you don't win in Miami,

477
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: you can still go into a restaurant and maybe get

478
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: a dinner with your wife. Don't don't lose in Chicago

479
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: and try to go to R and L, or try

480
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: to go to Gibson's and and expect to sit there

481
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: and have a nice dinner on a Friday night with

482
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: your wife. I mean it could be rough. It could

483
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: be rough. I lived that. I lived that too. Really,

484
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: so when you lost, you just ate at home. Oh

485
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: it's players used to talk about that. They would send

486
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: their wives out to get groceries. I mean it's uh,

487
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was Christmas time. There was a guy

488
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: dressed in Santa Claus. All I want for Christmas as

489
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: a new head coach, Marry Christmas. You know what I mean.

490
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: It's oh, yeah, they're there that they're good fans because

491
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: they get it, and they they're Bear fans. You know.

492
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a fourteen thou waiting list right now

493
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: to get a Bear season ticket. That's great. Now, did

494
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: jan your wife? Did she prefer when you were a

495
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: coach of the Dolphins or Bears? What did she prefer?

496
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: Just a family perspective. You know what's interesting about her?

497
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: I was I coached in nine places college, you know,

498
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, Pitt, usc My and all the NFL jobs,

499
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: and she would always say, including Buffalo. She would say.

500
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: The one would say, how do you like living in Buffalo?

501
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: And she would say, this is the best place we've

502
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: ever lived. And if you look at where you're at

503
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: For anybody out there that's listening, that's made job moves.

504
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Remember this. There's always something really good and special about

505
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: a place. It doesn't matter where it is. And to

506
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: this day, I get texas and invites from people to

507
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: own restaurants in Buffalo, New York, and I was there

508
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: two years. I was invited over to the house in

509
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: Christmas Mike Janet I. So my point is that she

510
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: had the attitude that wherever we were at, you know what,

511
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: this is the greatest place we've ever coached. And that's

512
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: been the difference. My wife was in hr for a

513
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: restaurant chain and she had to go to all these

514
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: northeastern Midwest cities, the Cleveland's, the Minneapolis, the Chicago. She said.

515
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo had the nicest people easily, the Principurgh people there.

516
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: It's it's uh yeah, absolutely the best fans and great

517
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: people and good restaurants. And no De Paulo's restaurant, that

518
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: was my spot up there. Absolutely. Dennis Depolo still a

519
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: good friend, stayed at my place in Naples a couple

520
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: of years ago. Well you you are friends to everybody. Okay, one,

521
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: I gotta do one cowboy question. Oh no, I want

522
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: to do a Patriot question. I gotta say this about

523
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I was in Canton last weekend with Jimmy

524
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Johnson and Jerry Jones put on a party for Drew

525
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: Pearson and Cliff Harris, the Three Jimmy, the three Cowboys

526
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: and Jerry who was there? J and Jerry and I

527
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: thought he was fantastic. And Tony Dorsett was there, who

528
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: I blocked for. Tilly and I were teammates at fifth

529
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: and I got to see two tall and the whole

530
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: event was fantastic and Cowboys were well represented. Okay, go

531
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: on to New England. Well, I love that, you know what,

532
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: because I think Jerry, I think, as you age and

533
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: you can send your mortality, I think you want to

534
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: clean up your messes, and I think Jerry wants to

535
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: clean up the Jimmy thing. Yes, absolutely, yeah, And I

536
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: look for Jimmy to get his Hall of Fame ring

537
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: this year and he's gonna I think I believe he'll

538
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: get into the Ring of Honor this year, and I

539
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: think it'll all happen at the same time live in Dallas.

540
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: That's my predictions. Great, Yeah, Okay, you're you're the coach

541
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: of the Patriots. I can make two arguments. Now, let's

542
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: both agree that New England is fairly limited in terms

543
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: of speed and weaponry on the perimeter. Offensively, they don't

544
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: have at Nelson Agilars. Okay, you know he drops a lot,

545
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: but he's a fairly big play receiver. But they don't.

546
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of guys. You don't have

547
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: to roll your coverage over. You know, if you were

548
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator watching film, what you worry about is

549
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: their trap game, their screen game. It's not the deep threats.

550
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: So I could make two arguments. Cam gives us a

551
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: playmaker and we don't have many. Or I could make

552
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: the argument Mac Jones, we're not talented enough to overcome mistakes.

553
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: Mac won't make as many. He won't fumble, he won't

554
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: get hit. He's more accurate, he doesn't run, he's not

555
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: going to get stripped. I could make two arguments. For

556
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback you coach the Patriots, where do you go? Well,

557
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: I was at the Dolphins when Bill had Drew Bletso starting,

558
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady is a backup, and Bill went with

559
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: Bletso until he got hurt. And then that's when Tom

560
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Brady got his opportunity. I look at this situation and

561
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: I probably would go with Mac Jones. Be quite honest

562
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: with you, I really think that this kid, Bill's not

563
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: threatened with his job. He's not in the situation Matt

564
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Naggy is that he's worried about job security. And you know,

565
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Cam is doing everything he can.

566
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a Cam fan, but I don't what's

567
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: his strong suit. It's not thrown. It used to be

568
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: running in athletically, and it's not even out of anymore.

569
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: So I think that Cam is a great backup if

570
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: he's a good guy in the locker room. But I

571
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: would go with Matt and I would not even look back.

572
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. I think it's completely different. I think

573
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Mac Jones is going to be the guy. He's done

574
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: well enough to this point. I put him in there,

575
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: and let you know. I think New England this year

576
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: is going to look like Miami last year, is that

577
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: they could win ten games. Great coaching, defense, special teams,

578
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: don't turn it over much. No. Now Miami this year

579
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: bringing in Jalen Waddle and Will Fuller. Now they've got

580
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: some real speed on the perimeter. But they didn't last

581
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: They didn't really last year. It was Gaseki the tight end,

582
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:32,479
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker. It wasn't a very dynamic, robust, perimeter game.

583
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: So that's where I think Mac Jones has the coaches,

584
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: if they had to raise their hands, you know, let's

585
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: vote on this thing. He will. He'll keep them out

586
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: of trouble, pre snap, no turnovers. I mean, I think

587
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point. What does Cam do well?

588
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: Peter King was on my show the other day and

589
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: he said, go look at the tape. He's not an

590
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: accurate thrower of the football. In his prime, he wasn't great.

591
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Now he's below out Bridge, right, and we knew. I

592
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: played against him when he was kind of in his

593
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: prime down air and when it was fourth and two,

594
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: fourth and three, you know they were going to run

595
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback read and they were going to run the

596
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: power and he was gonna keep the ball and run it.

597
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: Kind of a wildcat mentality with Cam. I mean I

598
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: defended it and because of his size and his strength

599
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: and his athletic ability, it was very difficult to stop.

600
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: Now it's different, and I just don't see it. I

601
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: think I think he's a backup in this league, and

602
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: if you got somebody that you're halfway like, which they do,

603
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: I would go on. I would go forward. All right.

604
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: So I'm coming to Chicago in a week and a

605
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: day from when this airs. So this will air Wednesday morning,

606
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: and I'm coming next Thursday afternoon, and we can't talk

607
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: about where we're going to dinner. But I think our

608
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: wives are going to get along because every time you

609
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: talk about your wife with me, I like how you

610
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: said everywhere we've lived, your wife is like, this is

611
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: the best place. That's what my wife always says. Let's

612
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: just make it the best place. Listen. We lived in cold,

613
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: snowy Connecticut, and we had to be really creative on

614
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: figuring out stuff to do. It's not a real there's

615
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: not a lot to do in Connecticut, right And in

616
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: the end, I was there with Anne for like seven years.

617
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: We had a blast. Yep, we had a blast. No,

618
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: I totally agree, And that's made the difference. I mean,

619
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: we made these moves and we kind of had a

620
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: thing with where I would move and find a place

621
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: where good schools were, and she would stay back and

622
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: sell the house. And she sold and we built three

623
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: or four new houses from scratch and she was behind it,

624
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: so we kind of had a nice little system going. Yeah. No.

625
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: The only problem with that is and ninety percent of

626
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: my moves were good because I wanted to. But when

627
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: I stand up r and I talk in front of

628
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: a group and I list everywhere I coached, I kind

629
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: of give the impression I could never hold a job.

630
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,560
