And I understand the criticism sports is a distraction. 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: I think that we've approached it that way, that we 13 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: tried to be that distraction for you during this pandemic, 14 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can continue to be that for you 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: an outlet. You can watch news, you can watch analysis 16 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: on the news, you can find all those things that 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: you want, and hopefully we're a safe haven for you 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: that you know what you're going to get when you 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: tune in Today might be a little bit different. You know, 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: we watch games for a living. We're not constitutional experts, 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: but we're human and I think everybody was affected by 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: what they saw yesterday. And I'm not trying to divide 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: anybody in this job. I try not to play the 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: political game here, but there are times when you have 25 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: to speak up. You should speak up. I have the 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: platform to speak up. I try to unite people. We 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: bring them together with that common thread of it's us. 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: And that's the way I still approach this, and I 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: will always approach it that way. You know, we root 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: against each other's teams, but we're still in it together 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: because we love sports. I mean, that's the beauty of this. 32 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: You know, there is more that's discussed in sports than 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: there is in any other walk of life when you 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: think about it. We've talked politics, we've talked religion, we've 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: talked race, we've talked violence, we've talked you know, players 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: being active. We've talked about all of those things when 37 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: we need to talk about those things. But the events 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: in DC yesterday were historic, they were profound, they were surreal, 39 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: they were ugly. And I would love to talk about 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: the NFL playoff matchups or Bradley Beale's sixty point game 41 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: last night, but it would be disingenuous to start the 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: show and act as if hey, it's just another day, 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: because it's not. This will be a tough show to do. 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Not that you're looking at degree of difficult for me, 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: but these are shows that I do not look forward 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: to doing because there's a delicate balance and it just 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: feels like there's some raw emotion. That is, it's on 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the surface, and yesterday was troubling. That was that was 49 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: tough to watch. But you know, the very fundamentals we 50 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: hold deer that makes sports possible their threat, and I'm sorry, 51 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: just to stick to sports doesn't feel like a relevant statement. 52 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't think for anybody. Today. We'll do our best 53 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: and hopefully you'll have patience with us to understand that 54 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: it's three hours, this is live and we react to 55 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: whatever the news might be. Hopefully today is a whole 56 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: lot better than yesterday, which is not saying a whole lot, 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: but we together with what we do every single day, 58 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: with your involvement, whether you call, you email, you tweet, 59 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: or you just listen or just watch. Now, I know 60 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: what my job is today and I'll try to do 61 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: it the best that I can. Eight seven seven three 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: d P Show email address dpit dan Patrick dot com, 63 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp's show, the sports headlines no more 64 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: positive test for the Browns. We mentioned yesterday that Trevor 65 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: Lawrence is going pro. Bradley Beale scored sixty points last night. 66 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: The seventy six I think are now seven and one. 67 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers has done a wonderful job. I did want 68 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: to bring this up and I thought it was important 69 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: with the context of what has happened here in the 70 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: last eleven or twelve months. And you know, there's been 71 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, there's social unrest, there's protests, there's activism, 72 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things, and we have discussed as 73 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: best we can and giving both sides. Doc Rivers had 74 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: some pretty powerful comments, and Doc has had some pretty 75 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: powerful comments throughout all of this, and he had a 76 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: press conference yesterday, the seventy six ers head coach, and 77 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was worth bringing back here's Doc Rivers. 78 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: I'll say it because I don't think a lot of 79 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: people want to. Could you imagine today those were all 80 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: black people storming capital and what would have happened? You know? 81 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: So that to me is a pitcher that's worth a 82 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: thousand words for all of us to see and probably 83 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: um something for us to reckon with again. You know, um, 84 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: no police dogs turn them people, no billy clubs hitting people. 85 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: People peacefully being escorted out of the capitol. So it 86 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: shows that you can disperse the crowd peacefully, I guess 87 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: would be the one thing. Um, but it's a sad 88 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: day in a lot of ways. It's not good for 89 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: our country more across the borders that people see this. 90 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: But it's um, it's it's part of what we are 91 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: and so we have to solve them. That's Doc Rivers 92 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: before yesterday's game with the Wizards, and I started to 93 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: think about this. In our world in sports, we have 94 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: a winner, we have a loser. We have the numbers 95 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: that back these you know, outcomes these games. Whereas in 96 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: the world of politics, you know, it's left in doubt, 97 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: or we can cast doubt on it, we can make 98 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: it gray. There's no real clock that's ticking, and it's 99 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: just you know, hey he says he won, Hey he 100 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: says he lost. We don't do that in sports. It's 101 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: like you did win and you did lose. It'd be 102 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: like mac Jones going, you know what I think, Yeah, 103 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: I like to you know, let's check those votes there. 104 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: I think I might have won the Heisman. Here it's 105 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: we have in our world. We have results. It's right 106 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: there in black and white. We got the stats. We 107 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: have it. That's why it's so foreign. Sometimes when you're 108 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: going in in other walks of life, we don't know, 109 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: or we act like we don't know, or we cast 110 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: doubt on something. In sports, we don't I mean, we 111 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: might go, did the Knicks really win the Patrick Ewing Sweepstakes? 112 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: Like that's our big one. Do you think the commissioner 113 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: knew which hard was the Knicks? That's as close as 114 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: we get. I had news yesterday and Paulie and I 115 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: had a good discussion yesterday because what was going on. 116 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: I got some news about the National Title game, and 117 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: I said, look, I have this news. I don't care 118 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: if somebody beats me to it. You know, I don't 119 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, do these scoops or breaking news. That's not 120 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: my job. But if I get the information, I always 121 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: pass it on to you the audience. And when I 122 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: got the information, it was right after the show, and 123 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, we were glued to our TV sets and 124 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: just like, what is going on? And I just put 125 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: it to the side because I didn't want to come 126 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: off as disingenuous or wait, you're gonna put out some 127 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: breaking news story and this is going on like the 128 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: national title game. Just it wasn't important yesterday. And so 129 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: Paulie and I called him and I said, hey, look 130 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: I have some information. I got a little more information here, 131 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: and and then he said, now we got to wait 132 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: till tomorrow. Got to wait till tomorrow. And the more 133 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: I thought about it, the Morena was right. I didn't 134 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: want to do it last night. I just didn't want 135 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: to do it and go, hey, this is going on 136 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: because it wasn't important. I mean, it is important, you know, 137 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: as we move forward to crowning a national champion, but 138 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: it's sports important, not our country's importance. And I just 139 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: I didn't want to seem like I had no idea 140 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: what was going on in the real world. And I go, hey, 141 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: got this information from a source here, and so let 142 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: me let me tell you what I got yesterday because 143 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: I was curious a couple of things, and that is 144 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: is Ohio State planning on playing in the National Title Game? 145 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: And I asked my source, I said, is Ohio State 146 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: planning on playing in the National Title Game this next Monday? 147 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: And my source said, Ohio State is very close to 148 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:14,359 Speaker 1: the availability limit right now, especially at the defensive line positions. 149 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: And then my source said the Big Ten is advocating 150 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: for Ohio State to be able to postpone the National 151 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: title game. Now. I don't know if it's an official request, 152 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: this is what I have. It just says team hit 153 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: hard by COVID, especially the defensive line. Ohio State is 154 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: close to the availability limit for the game. Big Ten 155 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: advocating to postpone for a week. We've heard some rumblings here. 156 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: I did ask about justin Fields and my source said, 157 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: let me see banged up but ready to play, or 158 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: banged up but will play because I didn't know if 159 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: let's see. Yeah, my source says fields banged up, will play. 160 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: Big Ten trying to get a postponement. Defensive line and 161 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: the team hit hard by COVID and they're approaching the 162 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: availability limit to be able to field a team that 163 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: the Big Ten would be advocating for moving this. It's 164 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: not Ohio State. From what I'm told. The Big Ten 165 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: is saying we need to have a what would be 166 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: a legitimate national title game, and COVID is still now 167 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: Alabama and Ohio State aren't transparent with their numbers. They 168 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: haven't been, and apparently they don't have to be. They're 169 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: also governed by different you know, medical rules in their conferences. 170 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: The SEC and Big Ten approach this differently, so trying 171 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: to get the information there has been hard to find 172 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: out exactly how hard hit they are with COVID, but 173 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: it sounds like they're inching closer to the number of 174 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: players they need to have available for this national title game. 175 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: So that was the information I had yesterday. And you know, 176 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: there there have been pockets of information like this out there, 177 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: but from what I was told yesterday, the Big Ten 178 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: is advocating for postponing this a week. Not Ohio State 179 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: and Justin Fields, from what I'm told, will play. Ohio 180 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: State is planning on playing. I just want to make 181 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: sure that we underline that Ohio State is planning on playing, 182 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: but the Big Ten is advocating for Ohio State, who 183 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: is close to the availability limit, to be able to 184 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: postpone this game for a week. That was the information 185 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: I had yesterday. All Right, we'll come up with a 186 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: pole question. Play of the day. Stat of the Day 187 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky from ESPN. I always love when he joins us. 188 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk some football here. Look, we're gonna tiptoe through 189 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: this day. We are. I'm sure you have a lot 190 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: of opinions that I you know, I think we all do. 191 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: But I'm here to cover the sports reaction to this. 192 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: If there were games that we're going to be impacted. 193 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: Last night, there were you know, signs of unity protest 194 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: taking a knee. We saw that last night. But I 195 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: said to Fritzie, you know, if you're looking for somebody, 196 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: only if a game is canceled or a game is 197 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: in jeopardy, if you know, Washington's football game this weekend, 198 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: if there would be something that would affect that, That's 199 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: that's the job that we have today. That's what we're 200 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: trying to do. I don't want to give speeches, and 201 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: I don't want this to turn into that kind of discourse. 202 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't because it's not what we do. And you 203 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: can find that elsewhere. And hopefully we can provide information, entertainment, 204 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: the things you've come to expect on this program.

Well, 217 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: this is the first time I've ever felt the need 218 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: to call. Uh. We're so fortunate to live in a 219 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: country where sports is a by product of our of 220 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: our good fortune. You know. I just I'm so upset 221 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: that we can't come together. We're so divided politically and 222 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: racially that nothing good can happen until we come together. 223 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: And I want to thank you for making a good 224 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: balance of the news and sports, because really I've been 225 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: listening for about a year now, and every day I 226 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: look forward to hearing you guys make jokes, and but 227 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: this isn't a day for jokes, and I just wanted 228 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: to thank you for taking the time to do things correctly. 229 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, Ricky. Look, I don't have a game plan, 230 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: there's no map to do this, and I think you've 231 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: trusted me that we approach this in the professional manner. 232 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't troll you. I'm not trying to incite anybody. 233 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm not playing a political game. I try not to. 234 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: I try to do what my job is, and that 235 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: is we do sports, we do entertainment. Sometimes you do 236 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: sports and entertainment. But that's the goal today as it 237 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: is every day. And if there's something that comes up 238 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: that I think, Warren, you know, coloring outside the lines, 239 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: then we'll do it. But until you know something sports 240 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: related is impacted by this, we saw it, we felt it, 241 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: it hurt, it bothered, we had a reaction to it, 242 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: and we'll try to move forward today.

They got the Ravens and Titans 252 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: Wildcard game at one Eastern on Sunday, Dan and the 253 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: rest of the NFL Live crew and you can check 254 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: that out. The traditional telecast will be on ESPN and ABC. 255 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: Do you think that this is a we'll get back 256 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: to you at some point, Eric b Enemy or the 257 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: Texans aren't interested in interviewing the Chiefs offensive coordinator. Yeah, 258 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: I would imagine that they're not interested, which is moronic. 259 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,479 Speaker 1: You know, the fact that they should have hired him 260 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: after that playoff debacle last year. They should have said, no, 261 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: we're done with Bill O'Brien, the Enemy come in. So, 262 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think like that the Texans job 263 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: is that much about Deshaun I mean, it's really get 264 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: out of the way. He's such a special player. It's 265 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: more so like, can you find a way to rebuild 266 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: the roster with absolutely no assets. That's the biggest challenge. 267 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: So it's like the fact that they haven't interviewed Eric 268 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: b Enemy or that he's not at the top of 269 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: their list is just a very small kind of viewpoint. 270 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: Into how dysfunctional the Houston Texans are run right now, Yeah, 271 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a great job. And if you 272 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: were going to rank these jobs, where would you start 273 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: with number one? Opening the Chargers easily, mainly because the 274 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: Chargers have a general manager that's proven. It's not just 275 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that Herbert's there is amazing, but 276 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: Telesco's put together a really good roster, and I think 277 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: that's like one of the hardest things to do in 278 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: the NFL is find really good consistent general managers. Second, 279 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, I know everyone points to the Jags because 280 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: they have the number one pick, but I would be 281 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: a little bit hesitant hearing Shad Khan come out and 282 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: say he wants some form of roster control, you know, like, 283 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: and you don't know who the general manager is there. 284 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: If you look at the Jets job, at least I know, 285 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: at least I have one year of Joe Douglas as 286 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: the guy and go, okay, he had three really good 287 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: picks in his first draft, or at least two that 288 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: look really good with Mims and Beckton. Some third rounders 289 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: had some promise, So like, I've got a guy that's 290 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: got fifteen plus years in Baltimore as a front office 291 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: guy who we know Baltimore is fantastic, and I have 292 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: proof that like he can draft good, good players, and 293 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: they got so many picks moving forward, I could sit 294 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: here and tell, in my opinion say, I think the 295 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: Jets job is better than the Jags because of the 296 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: guy taking the picks. Yeah. I've always said when people go, oh, 297 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 1: they got all these draft picks, and I say, who's drafting? 298 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: Who's who's using those picks. The Browns had all these 299 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: picks all these years and they didn't do well. So 300 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: Baltimore makes use of whatever picks they have better than 301 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: anybody does. What is just you know, when let me 302 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: ask you this question, because I've asked this to Daniel Jeremiah, 303 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: that you could have Trevor Lawrence or you could have 304 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. Right now, I would say Justin Herbert. And 305 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: that's a big jump for me because I was a 306 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: huge Trevor Lawrence fan and I'm still am. But the 307 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: two things. I think. The thing that stands out the 308 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: most to me is when Herbert's back was against the 309 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: wall and he really had to like kind of takeover 310 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: games this year, he did like he took over games. 311 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: I understand the offensive line wasn't great and some receivers 312 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: were down, and he still played really well. As much 313 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: as I loved Trevor Lawrence and as much as I 314 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: don't like the scheme that he played in at Clemson 315 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: and that they were kind of okay talent wise, this year, 316 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't rise up when his back was 317 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: against the wall, and that would be something that I 318 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: have to figure out why that was the case the 319 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: last three times he's played in those big games when 320 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: the team across from him was pretty darn good and 321 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: he had to become like the dude, the difference maker. 322 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: He didn't do it. And that's a little bit that 323 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: gives me pause. But if you look at Justin Fields now, 324 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: with what he did, how he played, got, you know, 325 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: hit pretty hard, the toughness there. He had some great 326 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: deep throws over the middle, and now you have the 327 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: National title game. Is there a way that he could 328 00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: somehow come out of this as the quarterback in the draft? Oh? Yeah, absolutely, 329 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: I'd say two ways? Why? Two or reasons why? If 330 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: if urban Meyer takes the Jacksonville job, I could absolutely 331 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: see him liking Justin Fields and then two, if you 332 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: go out and whoop up on Nick Saban's defense, that's 333 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: a big deal to the NFL. I mean, NFL coaches 334 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: value in evaluators value Nick Saban as a coach. If 335 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: you go out in whoop Venables and whoop Nick Saban, 336 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: you can absolutely see him jumping Trevor Lawrence. If you 337 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: were the Jets, what would you do? So if I'm 338 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: the Jets and I sit there and I go, you 339 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: know what, I think, justin Fields or Zach Wilson is 340 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: as good as Sam Darnold, or in three years is 341 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: going to be as good as Sam Darnold. I take 342 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: one of those young quarterbacks because I'm resetting the financial clock, 343 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: you know, as a quarterback where if you decide Sam 344 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: is going to be an exponentially better player, fine, but 345 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: you got one year to figure that out because it's 346 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: next After next year, you've got to make the decision 347 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: on the fifth year for him, and then he starts 348 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: becoming expensive. And so that's the challenge for Joe Douglas 349 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: is trying to figure out where are those quarterbacks? And 350 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: I love Sam, but just the financial freedom that you 351 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: get drafting one of those two quarterbacks. So if you 352 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,239 Speaker 1: think they're just as good and they're going to be 353 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: just as good in the next three years, you don't 354 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: see this big gap between them and Sam. You take 355 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: either Zach wilsoners justin fields. Did the Dolphins have to 356 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: do their due diligence with the number three pick overall 357 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: and look at a quarterback. Absolutely not. The Dolphins are 358 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: right on pace with where they should be when it 359 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: comes to rebuilding their roster. Here's the thing, Dan, Like 360 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: the last two years, they took a bunch of assets 361 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: and allocated them to the defensive side of the ball, 362 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: both in free agency and the draft, and they hit 363 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: a bunch. That's why they were a good football team. 364 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: This year. They got to do the same thing on 365 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: the offensive side this year. You know two is not 366 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: a recess style of freestyle type of quarterback. He's an executor. 367 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: He's Drew Breese but with a little bit more athleticism. 368 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: So how do we make sure, Like, here's the thing, 369 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: what's the number one physical asset? I don't care what 370 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback looks like? The number one physical asset? Can 371 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: you be NFL accurate? Tua can be NFL accurate. You 372 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: can't just like cross your fingers and hope that somebody 373 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: becomes that. And so they got a draft either an 374 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: offensive lineman or an offensive tackle, an offensive guard with 375 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: the number three pick. My guess is it's gonna be 376 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: Penna Sul draft that just like the Saints did. The 377 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: Saints in the last ten years of their drafts, in 378 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: the first two rounds took seven offensive linemen. They took 379 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: two wide receivers, like they built their team to protect 380 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback and then they got good players around them. 381 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: That's what they need to do with Tua. Build the 382 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: offensive line, protect him, getting him, get him in an 383 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: offense that is similar to what Drew has been in 384 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: Sean Payton and tool we will be a great player, 385 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: but just getting another quarterback is not the answer. He's 386 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky ESPN NFL Live analysts the Browns without Kevin Stefanski. 387 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: So you don't have your head coach and you don't 388 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: have your play caller. How do you try to substitute 389 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: what can be done? Because we've seen a different Baker 390 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Mayfield here, kind of getting used to that cadence and 391 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: play calling and understanding what your team's identity is here, 392 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: and now you go into this game against the Steelers, 393 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: So what do the Browns do? Yeah. One of the 394 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: strengths of Kevin Stefanski is his opening script. The first 395 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty plays of a game he scripts out and 396 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: so people know, like coaches grind tape all week and 397 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: they figure out, okay, defense is they like to play 398 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: soft early on, so we'll get easy completions, or they 399 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: blitz us, so we gotta have blitz answers, or they'll 400 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: play a ton of man, so we got to take 401 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: shots down field. Like That's what the opening script is about, 402 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: is figuring out how defenses want to start games and 403 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: then attacking that. Well, we know at Kevin Stefanski's really 404 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: got one quarter to impact this football game because after 405 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: their first two drives as an offense, defenses start to 406 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: figure out what you're doing and change, so then you 407 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 1: are in that constant changing mode. Stefanski won't be there 408 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: quarters two, three, and four to figure that out, So 409 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: we know he's got one quarter to really get his 410 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: fingerprints and stamp his imprint on this game. If I'm 411 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, the only way I think we can win 412 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: this game is we get out fourteen nothing. If we 413 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: get to the end of the first quarter, wor up 414 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: three nothing, we can't win because the Steelers have an advantage. 415 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: Then because of that change in him not being there, 416 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm emptying the bag in the first quarter. I'm coming 417 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: out incredibly aggressive and whatever trick plays or gimmick plays 418 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: that I think we've got, that we execute well, that 419 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: we practiced all season. They're getting used and trying to 420 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: figure out a way to jump out fourteen nothing because 421 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: if they jump out fourteen nothing because of that, then 422 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: they got a chance. Okay, they can pound the run, 423 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: they can be aggressive at their defensive line. That's their 424 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: only shot. Because the one of the main changes this 425 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: year is we know is Stefanski, but he's been able 426 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: to impact the game on a first through fourth quarter basis. 427 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: He won't do that this week. He knows he's got 428 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Make them count. Got an upset this weekend? 429 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: Oh man, Do I think that the Chicago Bears can 430 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: beat the Saints? To do? If I'm the Chicago Bears, 431 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing the same exact game plan that the Philadelphia 432 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: Eagles used with Jalen Hurts. You know, Mitchell Drubiski is 433 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: going to have eight plus runs in this game if 434 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: I'm them, because they play so much man coverage, basically 435 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: it becomes one on one out in the open field 436 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: with Mitchell and someone else. And he's athletic enough to 437 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: make guys miss, and so I think that if they 438 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: can kind of allow him to be an athlete a ton, 439 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: which they've done here recently, I could see that happening. 440 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: Could I see Tennessee beating beat in Baltimore. I could 441 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: you know if if especially early on, those two receivers 442 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: AJ and Corey Davis makes some impact and get kind 443 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: of the coverage back Derrick Henry. Here's the thing, Like 444 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: I used to be with Gary Kubiak, and when we 445 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: were with coops and we were playing against the defense 446 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: that had two really good cover corners, Coops would say 447 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: all the time, we're gonna make the cover corners tackle 448 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: early in this game. We're gonna find out if those 449 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: guys want to tackle or they just want to cover. 450 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: And I could see Arthur Smith starting this game for 451 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: Tennessee and going all right, Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey, 452 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna find if you guys want to tackle, and 453 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: if you don't, game is over. Well wait, wait, how 454 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: does that work though, Dan? That yeah, like how does 455 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: the defensive back not tackle? It's a want to. I mean, 456 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: tackling two hundred and sixty pounds is a want to. 457 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: You know. It's in the run game, Dan, Like you know, 458 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: run game is always math, you know, and there's always 459 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: gonna be one person that's left over. And then as 460 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: an offense, your job is to figure out how to 461 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: find who that one person is. You can scheme things 462 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: up there our corner, you're gonna be the one and 463 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: you go, Derek that that's your guy. And you know, 464 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: I've never had to tackle two hundred and sixty pounds. 465 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: I'm thankful, But like that, that's how you do it. 466 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: You scheme up to be Okay, we're not gonna block 467 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: that guy. That's the tailbacks and corners are gonna have 468 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: to come up and dude, it's a physical commitment to 469 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: go like all right, I'm putting my face on this, dude. 470 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: And especially early on in football games, man, we used 471 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: to do it. Like here's an example. We would do 472 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: it with a guy like Antonio Cromarty. Crowe was incredible 473 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: at coverage. We would run at him early in games 474 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: on purpose, even if the play wasn't successful, and the 475 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: back would be like, all right, that's my guy, and 476 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: it would be this violent collision and you would watch 477 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: it and be like, Okay, One was their impact, you know, 478 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: like was their impact? And two does it affect his 479 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: ability to cover? And three if he's not gonna tackle, 480 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna see that all game long. I'm wondering about 481 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. It's hard for you guys to leave the game, 482 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: you know, when you win in you know, John Elway 483 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: couldn't play anymore. So he wins the super Bowl, he's 484 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: able to walk away. Peyton Manning couldn't play anymore, He's 485 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: able to walk away. I can't imagine, you know, Drew Brees, 486 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: let's say he would lose to the Bears. Is he 487 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: more likely than to want to come back because you 488 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: just went out in the first round or he's got 489 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: the NBC job. Yeah, I think he's more than likely 490 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: just to walk away after a great career. I think 491 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: he's he could be honest with himself that he's still good, 492 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: but he's good enough to really kind of, you know, 493 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: be the dominant quarterback that he's been for a long time. 494 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: I also there's the reality that there there's seventy seven 495 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: million over the cap next year. Can they afford Drew? 496 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: Can they afford paying him twenty five or thirty million dollars, 497 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: but also afford the people that are gonna needed to 498 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: be around him to play well. So I think at 499 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's a Hall of Famer. 500 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: He's in the conversation for one of the greatest ever. 501 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: But I don't think, especially with the injury this year, 502 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: like I think that Drew is content to walk away 503 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: and knowing he's got something else and he's joining a 504 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: different team makes it a little bit easier. Who gives 505 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: the Rams a better chance to upset Seattle? As far 506 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: as quarterbacking goes, I don't know if you've ever broken 507 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: your thumb, but yeah, I've done it twice. I've done 508 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: exactly what golf has done. I've done it in college 509 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: or high school, once in the NFL once. One time 510 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: I came back in like two weeks, and then one 511 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: time post surgery, I came back in five weeks. That 512 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: was the NFL time Jared Goff, I would be shocked 513 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: if he doesn't play. This is like golf gives them 514 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: a way better chance to win the football game than 515 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: Wolford does, a way better chance. And if golf feels good, 516 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: especially early on, I think the Rams win the game 517 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: because I don't think beating Seattle is I think it's 518 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: first team to twenty points, right, And if you watch 519 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: those two games back. I actually texted Jared because I 520 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: know him, and I just sent him a note and 521 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: I said, find your freaking checked down, because there's eight game, 522 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: eight times that the checkdown is wide open and he 523 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: just won't throw it trying to do something else. And 524 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: he responded back to me, ha ha ha, um, So 525 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: I think he gets the point. Um, So you think 526 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: he's playing. I think he's playing. I haven't. I haven't 527 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: asked him that question. I try to kind of like 528 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: respect that stuff. If you're saying to him you're checked down, 529 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: you're not talking about next year like you're talking, yeah, 530 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: talking about this week, And yeah, I'm anticipating he's playing 531 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: because I've had that injury and I and I kind 532 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: of know the surgery that he had and know that 533 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: you can come back in two weeks from it. So 534 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: he gives them the best chance. Um, and I as 535 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: of today, and I don't think I'll change. I think 536 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: that they win the game. I think the Rams win 537 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: the game. Uh, let me see if I had anything 538 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: else for you. What's in the fridge, by the way, 539 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: anything good? I mean a lot of kids stuff, just 540 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: because we've got so many stinking kids. But uh, let 541 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: it go over tacos last night. Left over tacos are glorious, 542 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: don't you have Do you have triplets? I have triplets. Yeah, 543 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: nine year old boys that are psychos and then my 544 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: daughter's five.

I'm having a nice, 573 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: peaceful day trying to navigate through these troubled waters here today, 574 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden we stumble upon Pro Football 575 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: Talk and Paulie goes, hey, click on this. Now. Usually 576 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: when he says click on something, it's something that's entertaining 577 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: or something goofy and then I click on it and 578 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: I go, way, minute, what's Florio saying here on Pro 579 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: Football Talk about Deshaun Watson and maybe starting to hear 580 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: that he wants out of Houston and that contract would 581 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: be tradeable. I said, all right, get Florio on the show. 582 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: We got something to talk about here. So Mike Florio, 583 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: mister Pro Football Talk, joining us on the show. Where 584 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: did this come from? Mike? Well, what happens when you 585 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: do this for a living. You end up talking to 586 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot of different people. You hear from a lot 587 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: of different people. You hear unsolicited things from certain people. 588 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: And when I start to hear something over and over 589 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: again from people in different universes in that broader NFL galaxy, 590 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: or it would be galaxies within the broader universe, either way, 591 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: do you know who we need? Either way? The point 592 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: is when I start hearing the same thing from different 593 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: people who I believe aren't churning the same stuff, that's 594 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: when I start to pay attention to it. And I 595 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: was very careful and how I wrote it. This isn't 596 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: something that has happened, this isn't something that will happen, 597 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: But there is a growing belief that it could happen 598 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson could say I've had enough, I'm out. 599 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: I think the head coaching hire is going to be 600 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: a key piece of this because they've made it clear 601 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: Dan and Deshaun has said this himself. They're asking his 602 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: input on who the coach should be. So if they 603 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: ask his input and he gives it, and then I'll 604 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: hire the guy that he said I'd like to work with, 605 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: that would tend to alienate a franchise quarterback and the 606 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: one thing that fascinates me. Yesterday, Chefty reported that Eric b. 607 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: Enemy has already interviewed for the other five head coaching 608 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: openings and he's not going to be interviewed by the Texans. 609 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: How and the hell do you not at least interview 610 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,959 Speaker 1: the guy who's at the top of everyone's list. I'm 611 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: with you because I want to glean some information from 612 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy of what Kansas City thinks about my team. 613 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: And I mentioned this last hour. You know, this interviewing process, 614 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: it's a fact finding mission for a lot of these 615 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: teams because they'll go to Joe Bray and go, Joe, 616 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: what do you think of the Falcons? You know you 617 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: faced him a couple of times, tell us you may 618 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: not give him the job, but you want that information 619 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: there and at least you know the lowest part of 620 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: this is I'm going to bring him in or I 621 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: can zoom him and he can tell me what he 622 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: thinks of Deshaun Watson, JJ WATD What would you do 623 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: with the defense wide receivers? Will Fuller Like? Those are 624 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: the things you want out of these guys. It's the 625 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: Al Davis approach. That's what he always did when he 626 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: was hiring a coach. Interview as many people as possible. 627 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 1: It's a free opportunity to pick the brains of your competitors. 628 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: You know, the panthers. I've heard somewhere between twenty and 629 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: forty GM candidates they're going to interview for that same reason. 630 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: It's a free opportunity to pick brains. Now, it could 631 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: be this day, and it could be that the enemy 632 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: is a guy that Deshaun Watson would want to work with. 633 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: So if you go too far down the path with 634 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: the enemy, it's harder to say no. So it's easier 635 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: to just never interview him, then to interview him and 636 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: say to Deshaun, well we picked this guy instead of 637 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy. Wow, Wow, I gotta I'm trying to 638 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: wrap my brain around that one, that you're not going 639 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: to bring him in because if you do bring him 640 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: in and then you don't hire him, is Deshaun So? 641 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: Is DeShawn going to be more upset if you don't 642 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: bring him in at all, or you bring him in 643 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: and then you don't give him the job? Is that 644 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: what you're saying? Like? Well, right? And this assumes that 645 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 1: the enemy is a guy for whom Deshaun Watson would 646 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: be stumping. But when you look at what the enemy 647 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: has done with Patrick Mahomes the past couple of years, 648 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: a guy who was drafted two spots before Watson. And 649 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: if I'm Deshaun Watson, I'm looking at Patrick Mahomes, I'm 650 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: looking at Josh Allen, I'm looking at these other young 651 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and saying, I'm as good as them. If I 652 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: was in Kansas City, we'd be the one seed in 653 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: the AFC. If I was in Buffalo, we'd be on 654 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 1: the brink of taking the franchise to places it hasn't 655 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: been in decades. How can I make something happen here? 656 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: And I also think that the aftermath of the Bill 657 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: O'Brien experience, the Patriot connection, the Nick Cassio hire. If 658 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: they hire a Brian day All who's got some Patriot DNA? 659 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: Is that just too much for Watson given what happened 660 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: with Bill O'Brien, the trades that were made, the dysfunction 661 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: that has been left in the aftermath of the O'Brien experience. Again, 662 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's going to happen. And maybe he's 663 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: extra next level and he's just letting it be known 664 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: that he's thinking about it as that shot across the 665 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: bout to get the Texans to take his preference. Seriously, 666 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: it could all work out very well, but it's out 667 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: there and it's a subject of conversation, and I can't 668 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: imagine that teams wouldn't be lined up out the door 669 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: if there was an opportunity to get to Shaun Watson. 670 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: You work for NBC Sports Football Night in America, and 671 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,439 Speaker 1: Drew Brees has a job there waiting for him. Are 672 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: you under the impression, Mike that Drew Brees is joining 673 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: the studio team next year? Listen, they only wake me 674 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: up for the unimportant meetings. I don't know what's going on, 675 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: and I personally believe that Drew Brees is going to 676 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: be inclined to play again next year if they have 677 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: another one of these close but no cigars. I think 678 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: it would torment him for the rest of his life 679 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: if he steps out of football after four straight years 680 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: of getting in shouting distance of the Super Bowl, having 681 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: some sort of crazy thing happened that causes them to lose, 682 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: and he believes he's still physically capable of playing. The 683 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: Phil Simms advice to Brett Farve years ago was keep 684 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: playing until they ripped the uniform off of you. So 685 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure Breeze walks away, but I have a 686 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: feeling the Saints are ready for him to walk away. 687 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: That's where it gets a little bit awkward. They've been 688 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: very respectful to Drew Brees. Sean Payton a couple of 689 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: times this year has alluded to the notion that Breeze 690 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: won't be back next year, and it may be the 691 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: decision gets made for him. I got verbally spanked yesterday 692 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 1: by the league office. I had the audacity to ask 693 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: about Kevin Stefanski if there's any way like, what's the 694 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: rule leading up to the game, and he, you know, 695 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: can he be involved. And then the league sent back 696 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: an email saying, why didn't you ask about Daryl Bevil 697 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, you know, And my immediate 698 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: thought was, well, nobody cares about Daryl and it's not 699 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: a playoff game. And then he goes, well the rules. 700 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: You know, we were told by the person pr that 701 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 1: these are the rules. They've been in place. The people 702 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: who coach are there on site in they coach. But 703 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: it feels like there's this ground swell, whether it's in 704 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: the media, NFL circles, because it's the Browns Kevin Stefanski 705 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: and what a shame He's going to miss out on 706 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: a playoff game, their first in eighteen years. So it's 707 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: a big loss here. But if you're Stefanski, what can 708 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: you contribute to help Baker Mayfield once the game starts? 709 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing. This is all information that would have to 710 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: be conveyed via zooma meetings, via discussions before the game. 711 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: There's no rule that allows him to be there present 712 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: with someone holding up an iPad with a FaceTime hook 713 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: up where he's actually talking to Baker Mayfield during the game. 714 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: Those electronic devices are all prohibited for those purposes, So 715 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 1: he's out, he's done. He can't be involved in this game. 716 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: And you know, I argue from time to time that 717 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: a good head coach is worth more financially than a 718 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 1: good player. Last week, when we were going through the 719 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: Jared Goff Willie play, won't he play? How good is he? 720 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: I said, you know, if I'm going to give thirty 721 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: three and a half million a year to Jared Goff 722 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: or Sean McVay, I'm giving it to Sean mcvayh not 723 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I mean Bill Belichick. Whatever he's getting paid, 724 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: Nobody knows what he's getting paid. Whatever it is, he 725 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: deserves more. He's worth more other than a Patrick Mahomes 726 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: a shortlist great player, a great coach is worth more. 727 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: And we're gonna find out on Sunday night, a playoff 728 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: game with Mike prefer a special team's coordinator running the show. 729 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: Who's going to talk to Baker Mayfield after he's rattled 730 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: by something he sees in the secondary and has a mistake, 731 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: throws an interception or almost throws an interception, if he's 732 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: getting chased around by t J. Watt, Who's going to 733 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: calm him down? That's where we're going to see the 734 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 1: value of a head coach. Dan job openings the best 735 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: and worst. Best is the Chargers by far because they 736 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: have Justin Herbert and he's the real deal. Next is 737 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars because they have the right to Trevor 738 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: Lawrence and we assume he's going to be the real deal. 739 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: But I'll always take the guy who shone he can 740 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: do it at the NFL level over the guy who 741 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: we just think can do it. Beyond that, Dan and 742 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: the Jets, I don't really know what to think about 743 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: the Jets. I think the Jets would be number three 744 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: because Joe Douglas the GM is building the team the 745 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: right way in the trenches, build from the inside out, 746 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: not the outside. In the other three jobs, frankly Lions, 747 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: Falcons and Texans, if I'm in demand and if I 748 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: have options, I'm going to wait a year because my concern, 749 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: and this is a real concern among people who are 750 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: candidates for these jobs, it doesn't get talked about nearly enough. 751 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: You've got individuals in the organization. Between coach and owner, 752 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: there's another executive. There's another layer there. It's Rich McCain Atlanta, 753 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,919 Speaker 1: it's Rodwood and now Chris Spielman in Detroit. It's Jack 754 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: Easterby in Houston, who's whispering to the owner, who's undermining 755 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do. I want a straight shot 756 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: to the owner. I want to be able to communicate 757 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: to the owner and not worry about what some other 758 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,959 Speaker 1: executive who doesn't have the same accountability I have, maybe 759 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: saying to the owner when I'm inevitably going through a 760 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 1: rough stretch. Chefty had something yesterday or day before about 761 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. He was on a radio station in Boston. 762 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: But it comes from Chefty. It's not a report, but 763 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: he was saying, hey, I could see maybe where Cam 764 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: could end up with Washington, and most of us had 765 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: the reaction of gosh, I can't see him making that 766 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,720 Speaker 1: kind of money, And then you realize, well, wait a minute, 767 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: here is it news Because it's Adam Schefter saying I 768 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: could see him there. I can't imagine Chefty going, you 769 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: know what, let me just throw the us out there 770 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: without having some kind of backdrop to this. So how 771 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: do you what do you make of that not report, 772 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: but that opinion by CHEFTI well, I don't think it's 773 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: outlandish because of the history between Ron Rivera and Cam Newton. 774 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: You know, we always assume that if there's a past relationship, 775 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: there's a presumption and a desire by both parties to 776 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:25,439 Speaker 1: continue the relationship. Sometimes the past relationship will cause people 777 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: to say, no, way in hell, sorry, been there, done that. 778 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: Life's too short. I don't want to work with that 779 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: person again. And what I heard yesterday was, and I 780 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: think it got misquoted. I thought Cheft he was saying 781 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: forty to fifty million a year for Cam Newton. He 782 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: was saying forty to fifty million over a two year deal. 783 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: And look, I'd have to know how it's structured. I'd 784 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: be very hesitant to make a significant financial commitment to 785 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: Cam Newton without knowing that he's more like the guy 786 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,240 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen than the guy in twenty twenty. And 787 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 1: you know, whether you do it with incentives per game, 788 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 1: roster bonuses, I would not want to make a huge 789 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: financial commitment to him. Now, look, the Patriots got a 790 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: steal three point seven million for their starting quarterback for 791 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: the full year, even though they were seven and nine. 792 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: That was a bargain. He deserves more than that. But 793 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: between twenty and thirty million, I would want that to 794 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: be based on what he does for me, and then 795 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: he gets rewarded after the fact, not blindly pay him 796 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: that money going in. Yeah, I think Chefty said that 797 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,720 Speaker 1: incentive laden, But I was also wondering this Ron Rivera 798 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: gets there and could have brought in Cam. I don't 799 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: know if because the owners said, no, you're drafting Dwayne 800 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,720 Speaker 1: Haskins and you're going to develop Dwayne Haskins, you can't 801 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: have Cam come in in bigfoot him and say no, no, 802 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 1: I'm the starter, You're not going to be I don't 803 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: know if that was the line of thinking there, Mike, 804 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: but it felt like Ron couldn't bring in Cam if 805 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 1: he wanted to. Well think about this. Ron Rivera arrived 806 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: as the head coach of the Panthers the same year 807 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: that Cam Newton was the first overall pick in the draft, 808 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: and Cam Newton quickly became the face of the franchise 809 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: and in some ways bigger than the franchise. And it 810 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: very well could be that Ron Rivera has decided that's 811 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 1: not the ideal way to build a championship team. Look, 812 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: that's what Bill Belichick wanted to get away from in 813 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: New England with Drew Blood So that's one of the 814 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: reasons why he was already thinking about the shift to 815 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,359 Speaker 1: Tom Brady before mo Lewis blew up Drew blood Sow. 816 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: So you don't want one person to overtake the team, 817 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: and it could be that for both guys, Cam Newton 818 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: and Ron Rivera, nine years together was enough. You got 819 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: an upset pick this weekend that we can make fun 820 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: of on Monday. Rams, that's an upset. The three and 821 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 1: a half point Dogs, I'll say Rams, that's the only 822 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: one I think. I think the other ones all win, 823 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 1: all the favorites win. We had Orlovski on and he 824 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: basically was guaranteeing that Jared Goff's playing. Oh you know what, No, 825 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 1: I didn't pick the Rams. I picked the Seahawks. I 826 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,479 Speaker 1: want to put the scratch across the board. Simms picked 827 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: the Rams. We both went back and forth on the 828 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: Rams and Seahawks. I did pick the Seahawks. And I 829 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: don't care if Goff's playing Goff and John Will, it 830 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Like I said, thirty three and a half million, 831 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: give it to McVeigh, not to golf. I'm still not 832 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: sold on golf. What's his future there? Well, when you 833 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 1: look at the cap hits, and you know a lot 834 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 1: of times teams will double down when they're criticized for 835 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,359 Speaker 1: giving too much money to a guy. I think they 836 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: got a couple more years whereas a practical matter, they 837 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: have to keep him around. But if i'm Sean McVeigh, 838 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: just like Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco, and Shanahan should 839 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: be there right now. I'm looking around at my options 840 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: and McVeigh I think is inching toward that point. Shanahan 841 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers should be there right now. Oh, 842 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: I agree. I've said that since they got Garoppolo, Like, 843 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't get it, but it felt like, you know, 844 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: even their game plan was not to involve a quarterback's arm, 845 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: which is pretty amazing that you guys, Bob Gracie in 846 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, he freaked Shanahan out in the 847 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: second half of the Vikings game when he almost threw 848 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: what would have been his third interception of the day. 849 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: There was only one interception that was ultimately thrown, and 850 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: then they went into the early seventies Dolphins mode until 851 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, where it was let's protect the offense 852 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 1: from Jimmy Garoppolo. What it's and looked. The bigger concern 853 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: I have Dan. He gets injured too often. There's a 854 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: point where you can't say, well, it was bad luck here, 855 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 1: and it was bad luck there. At a certain point, 856 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: it's on you as the quarterback to stay healthy and 857 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: be available to your team. What's the best thing that 858 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 1: you have to drink behind you? This is a wine sow, 859 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: so it's just wine. I'm a big Camis guy. Do 860 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: you like Camus? Yeah, yeah, I gotta, I gotta. I 861 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: got a couple of suggestions for you if you like Camis, 862 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm happy, please please, I'm more than happy to hear 863 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: any suggestions about wine. I'm still an ovice in that regard. 864 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 1: But let me tell you this. It reminds me of 865 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. We had a very enjoyable New Year's Eve. 866 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: It was a two Camus bottle New Year's Eve, and 867 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, you have just on the edge of a 868 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,840 Speaker 1: little bit. I didn't have a show the next morning, 869 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 1: so I could sleep in. I stayed up past midnight, 870 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 1: which gets harder and harder as we get older, went 871 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: to bed at about one o'clock, slipped into a very deep, 872 00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 1: reastful sleep, and at one fifty six am. I got 873 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: a happy New Year text from Todd Fritz let's see 874 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: what are you doing and sound asleep? After a two 875 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: bottle came this night. I was hoping that wasn't going 876 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 1: to make some kind of a noise or vibration on 877 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: your phone that I can quite wait. Are you being serious, Mike, Yes, yes, 878 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: one fifty six am. I don't know what time zone 879 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 1: he's dealing with.

And actually you had spent you 885 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: had spent two hours going through your rolodecks texting everybody 886 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: Happy New Year, and Mikey finally got to you. Oh yeah, 887 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: that's right, almost two hours later. I just made it 888 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,319 Speaker 1: under the two hour.

Whose 894 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: wife do you always text that Joe Buck? Yes, that's 895 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: accidentally because I keep thinking it's Joe's that number and 896 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: somehow it's his wife's and how it all takes us 897 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: one time, but I somehow made a mistake like three times.
