Let's lock in. Oh 19 00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:04,460 Oh 20 00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:14,900 Right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on in the league right now 21 00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:21,660 And it is a lot going on. Yes, the regular season is over with but we still got football to talk about okay 22 00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:28,540 So let's just start things off with the most talked about topic and that is dried male getting fired 23 00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:33,860 Okay, so before I get into any of the you know my opinions of and whatnot 24 00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:37,100 Let's just get into the statement that was put out 25 00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:43,380 With the firing of Jorad male by Robert Kraft. Okay, so and I quote after the game today 26 00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:48,340 I informed Jorad male that he will not be returning as the head coach of the New England Patriots in 27 00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:56,060 2025 for me personally, this was one of the hardest decisions. I have ever made I have known Jorad for 17 years 28 00:02:56,060 --> 00:03:03,140 He has earned my respect and admiration as a rookie in 2008 and throughout his career for his play on the field 29 00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:10,060 His leadership in the locker room and the way he conducted himself in our community when he joined our coaching staff 30 00:03:10,060 --> 00:03:14,020 His leadership was even more evident as I saw how the players 31 00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:17,900 Responded to him when other teams started requesting to interview him 32 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:22,620 I fear I would lose him and committed to making him our next head coach 33 00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:28,580 Winning our season opener on the road at Cincinnati only strengthened my convictions 34 00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:35,380 Unfortunately, the trajectory of our teams performances throughout the season did not descend as I had hoped 35 00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:41,540 Since buying the team I have always considered myself and my family as the custodians of a public asset 36 00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:48,460 We have tremendous fans who expect and deserve a better product than we have delivered in recent years 37 00:03:48,460 --> 00:03:56,380 I apologize for that. I have given much thought and consideration as to what actions I can take to expedite our return to championship 38 00:03:56,460 --> 00:04:00,460 Contention and determine this move was the best option at this time 39 00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:08,380 I am grateful for Jorad's many contributions to the new to the New England Patriots throughout his career and will always be rooting for 40 00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:14,620 His success. I appreciate all his hard work and hope the experiences gained will help him in the future 41 00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:18,580 As I still believe he will be a successful head coach in this league 42 00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:26,540 I wish Jorad and his family nothing but success in the future and I quote now before I get into any of my opinions and whatnot 43 00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:29,940 Let's read another statement that Robert Kraft put out on 44 00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:35,580 What was it Monday? I think either Monday or Tuesday of this week after the firing of draw mail 45 00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:39,300 So this is what he says and I quote this whole situation is on me 46 00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:43,380 I feel terrible for Jorad because I put him in an untenable situation 47 00:04:43,380 --> 00:04:48,140 I know that he has all the tools as a head coach to be successful in the league 48 00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:51,500 He just needed more time before taking the job and I quote 49 00:04:52,060 --> 00:04:56,620 now I'm going to try to be as respectful as possible with this situation because 50 00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:04,700 Situations like these sort of make my blood boil and I'm going to explain why so Jorad may well becomes a head coach for the New England Patriots 51 00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:07,660 Right, you know when he became the head coach 52 00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:12,620 Everybody was under the impression that you know, this was going to be a work in progress 53 00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:19,900 This is going to take multiple years multiple drafts to really build this team to what it used to be right for 54 00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:24,620 To make this decision is very saddening and it's very 55 00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:27,820 you know very disappointing because 56 00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:35,940 You would have thought out of any of the GM's Robert Kraft would have gave someone like a Jorad male someone who has been loyal 57 00:05:36,380 --> 00:05:37,940 to the Patriots 58 00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:44,340 Both as a player and a coach he was loyal to the Patriots and the fact that he turned down 59 00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:46,740 other potential 60 00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:49,340 Coaching jobs with other teams in better situations 61 00:05:50,140 --> 00:05:54,980 Because you told him that you were gonna make him a head coach that is on you Robert Kraft 62 00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:59,320 I'm sorry because you know why we have to be honest here folks 63 00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:06,460 Jorad inherited a messed up situation. Okay, he inherited a team 64 00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:12,380 That was not meant to be competitive for a very long time. All right 65 00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:15,220 Outside of every single position 66 00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:22,420 The only person that you can say right now is a franchise player on the New England Patriots is Christian Gonzalez 67 00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:24,580 That's the only person 68 00:06:24,580 --> 00:06:28,980 Everyone else you can have a you know a fluid conversation about okay 69 00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:35,540 But the fact that you did not give him time and you said it in both of your statements 70 00:06:35,540 --> 00:06:39,340 That you did not give him time to really show 71 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:43,180 Definitely says a lot about you when it comes to this decision 72 00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:51,420 Because you know why it'll be different if this team, you know had you know just maybe one or two holes 73 00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:56,620 It just had to be you know fixed in both free agency in the draft. Okay, fine, whatever 74 00:06:56,620 --> 00:07:02,380 I'm not gonna argue with you about that, but the fact that everyone knew that he was 75 00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:05,980 inheriting a bad team a 76 00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:13,860 Team that have multiple holes that need the offensive line to be rebuilt that need better receivers that need just 77 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:17,140 They just needed a whole makeover on both sides of the ball 78 00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:20,260 You knew that and you went and 79 00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:26,540 Hired to Rod Mayo and you made him the head coach and you didn't give him enough time 80 00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:33,780 And that is what angers my soul because why in the world would you do it if you knew that you weren't gonna give him a chance 81 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:35,780 and for you to say 82 00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:43,580 That you think that he will be able to get another head coaching job after what just happened 83 00:07:44,060 --> 00:07:48,460 No, it's gonna be twice as hard for him to get a head coaching job 84 00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:57,620 I don't know if people realize this but the one sore spot when it comes to the coaching carousel or as I call it the 85 00:07:58,060 --> 00:08:04,500 coaching carousel cage match is that most likely if you are a black candidate 86 00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:08,220 Whether that be for offensive coordinator or for a head coaching job 87 00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:13,340 Most likely you're going to be overlooked. I don't care who you've coached 88 00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:19,300 I don't care who you've turned into an all-pro first-ball Hall of Famer. Whatever 89 00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:26,140 You are going to be overlooked. I don't care what credentials you have. I don't care 90 00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:31,140 What have you done? You are always going to be overlooked 91 00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:32,900 and 92 00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:36,380 Especially for someone like a Gerard Mayo and an Antonio Pierce 93 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:41,220 It's gonna be hard for them to get head coaching jobs because you know why 94 00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:48,020 Everyone's gonna look at what happened in both of their situations and say no, we don't want that and 95 00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:52,580 So now most likely Gerard Mayo is gonna have to be 96 00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:58,980 Either a defensive coordinator a linebacker coach or defensive assistant 97 00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:04,700 It's gonna be three times as hard for him to get a head coaching job 98 00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:09,340 Now I would have thought that Robert Kraft would have gave him 99 00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:16,060 You know at least two more years if you if you give him two more years and you still haven't gotten anywhere 100 00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:20,060 Then it's time for you to you know have a real honest conversation 101 00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:26,500 But the fact that you just let him, you know, just let him go willy-nilly after one year 102 00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:31,620 Where you literally had the same record as you did last year 103 00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:34,180 I'm sorry. That's just wrong 104 00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:40,980 That's that that is very wrong. I would have never expected this from someone like a Robert Kraft who always 105 00:09:41,780 --> 00:09:47,040 Gives people the benefit of the doubt every single time from every player 106 00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:54,900 Coach whatever he always gives them the benefit of the doubt and the fact that you did not do this for someone 107 00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:58,980 That's you say that you have known for 17 years 108 00:09:58,980 --> 00:10:03,740 It's very disrespectful and I know the Boston media 109 00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:10,500 They were things and saying about this situation in that situation and that's just nasty 110 00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:16,500 That's nasty because you know why it's gonna be hard for that man to get a head coaching job 111 00:10:17,140 --> 00:10:21,940 Because you know why because all of this smut that is being put out on Gerard Mayo 112 00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,580 And granted I get it 113 00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:29,580 He mishandled a few situations most first-time head coaches do 114 00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:31,820 That's the learning curve 115 00:10:31,820 --> 00:10:37,220 That's the bumps in the bruises that come with it when you are a first-time head coach 116 00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:42,180 But that doesn't automatically say you have to get rid of them 117 00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:47,780 No, that means that you have to work with them. That means that you have to surround them with 118 00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:56,620 Adequate people who have different experiences that can help them and mold them and shape them into being a better head coach 119 00:10:56,980 --> 00:11:01,100 Not just kicking about the wind, you know kicking about the window and just say thanks 120 00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:04,260 We appreciate you for you know for the moment 121 00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:08,500 That's unacceptable Robert Kraft. That's unacceptable for the Patriots and 122 00:11:09,340 --> 00:11:12,980 I really have some you know legitimate questions because 123 00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:18,300 Most likely we all know Mike Vrables gonna get the job now. I know there's people that are saying well 124 00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:24,940 They interviewed Byron Lefwich and they interviewed Pep Hamilton. Let me tell you something. I'm gonna be really honest with you today 125 00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:31,500 The only reason why they interviewed those two was to satisfy the Rooney rule. That's it 126 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:33,820 It is not because they consider them 127 00:11:34,420 --> 00:11:37,020 You know candidates for their head coaching job 128 00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:44,740 It is to satisfy a rule that was put in place to increase the likelihood of black and other 129 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:51,540 Minority, you know coaches to get possible head coaching jobs. That's all what it is 130 00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:54,680 It is not because they are you know 131 00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:01,420 Candidates that the Patriots have their eyes on it is none of that is just to satisfy a rule. Let's be honest here 132 00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:04,220 We all know that Mike Vrables gonna get a job 133 00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:08,380 We know that he's going to get the Patriots job. Now the question is this 134 00:12:09,540 --> 00:12:11,540 Will Robert Kraft fire? 135 00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:17,080 Mike Vrables if he has at least two seasons like what Joram May was at 136 00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:20,220 that's the question I want to ask if 137 00:12:21,060 --> 00:12:26,620 The team has not really progressed anywhere and the team is actually regressing 138 00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:29,420 Does that open up the chance? 139 00:12:29,420 --> 00:12:34,900 For Mike Vrables if he was to be the head coach for the Patriots does that open up the chance for him to be fired 140 00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:41,880 I want you to think about that leave it in the comments on this video on the YouTube as well as on Instagram 141 00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:46,980 because I really have a problem with owners that want to make these type of 142 00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:53,940 Emotional decisions as I call them because if you know the team is going through a rebuild 143 00:12:53,940 --> 00:13:00,700 And if you know that you're hiring a first-time head coach, you have to exercise a level of patience 144 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:05,220 Okay, you know that this is going to take at least three to five years 145 00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:12,220 Maybe depending on how you hit on your you know draft picks and free agency signings, you know, it's gonna take you some time 146 00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:18,300 Okay, so if you know that then you have to be patient with the first-time head coach 147 00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,380 Now you're gonna go through some you know 148 00:13:21,380 --> 00:13:24,420 Some bumps and some bruises some ups and some downs 149 00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:27,100 You're probably gonna lose a lot of your fans 150 00:13:27,580 --> 00:13:29,740 You're not gonna sell a whole lot of tickets 151 00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:36,820 Unless it's you know against a really good team that you know the other fans from that other team is basically gonna you know 152 00:13:37,340 --> 00:13:42,700 I'll do with what the current fans that you have you know that and that's gonna take some time 153 00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:45,660 But you know that outside of the rebuild 154 00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:50,300 You know that you know you're gonna prepare your team to be competitive and 155 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:56,180 You cannot have your team to be competitive if you're making decisions like this 156 00:13:56,340 --> 00:14:03,140 May I remind everybody that the Patriots have been dominant for almost 20 plus years 157 00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:09,660 They have won six titles at some point. You're gonna have to go through rebuild and that's okay 158 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:15,860 But when you go through the rebuild that means that you are signing an agreement an invisible agreement stating 159 00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:19,580 That whatever happens with this rebuild 160 00:14:19,580 --> 00:14:26,220 You know, just know the team is gonna be in a better position afterwards. Okay now. Let's move on to another 161 00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:29,540 Owner in another situation that is also 162 00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:36,140 Gravitating a whole lot of attention and that is with the Giants. Okay, so John Mara has basically put out a statement 163 00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:38,620 I'm talking about you know 164 00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:45,060 His his reinforced support for both Joe Shane and Brian Dabel, but he also 165 00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:52,100 You know let it be known that he is starting to lose patience with the progress of the team 166 00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,580 Okay, so this is what he says in that quote 167 00:14:55,220 --> 00:15:01,280 Just came to the decision that staying with both of them is the best course of action for us right now in 168 00:15:01,540 --> 00:15:06,300 Brian's case. He is the coach of the year two years ago and that didn't disappear all of a sudden 169 00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:13,160 I still believe he can do that again in Joe's case. I thought we had an outstanding draft class this year 170 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:19,180 I thought we had a really good free agency period and I really like the stuff that he's put together and built 171 00:15:19,180 --> 00:15:25,100 I think that they're the right two guys to lead us going forward. I understand believe me 172 00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,700 That's not going to be the most popular decision in Giants land 173 00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:35,060 But we believe it's the right decision for us going forward. I appreciate the fact that fans have hung in there with us 174 00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:40,660 I get your frustration. I feel your pain, but I still believe this is the right decision for us going forward 175 00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:44,180 The results are not even close to what we want them to be 176 00:15:44,220 --> 00:15:48,700 They're going to have to get better if we're going to move on to year four 177 00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:54,860 It better not take long because I've just about run out of patience and quote now 178 00:15:55,220 --> 00:16:02,420 This is what I will say about this situation. This one is a little bit more unique than the Patriots situation because you know with them 179 00:16:03,180 --> 00:16:06,500 You can sort of see where the Giants are trying to go 180 00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:13,180 But you do realize that they have hit, you know another roadblock in their path to greatness 181 00:16:13,180 --> 00:16:19,940 Okay, now under the Brian Dable and Joe Shane, you know regime they are 1832 and 1 182 00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:26,980 Okay, now that's probably not a really good record. I definitely get that but at the same time here folks 183 00:16:28,060 --> 00:16:35,380 Some of this really does fall more on Joe Shane's shoulders than Brian Dables because Brian Dable 184 00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:41,540 Wanted to draft a quarterback. Remember, let's look at hard knocks again. Brian Dable wanted a quarterback 185 00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:46,340 Joe Shane didn't want that Joe Shane wanted to stick with Daniel Jones and 186 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:48,860 Eventually what happened? 187 00:16:48,860 --> 00:16:55,500 Daniel Jones got released and now you're basically stuck with you know time to ban Drew Lock. No disrespect to them 188 00:16:55,500 --> 00:17:00,420 But you know you have you have whiffed on a few major decisions 189 00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:07,540 You let say Kwan walk say Kwan could have easily broken Eric Dickinson's, you know rushing record this year 190 00:17:07,540 --> 00:17:14,300 Had he not decided to just you know not play the last season of the regular season like 191 00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:18,140 I'm sorry, but I need to see a clear 192 00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:22,820 Blueprint on exactly what are you going to do to make this team? 193 00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:29,980 Competitive because as of right now the Giants are not competitive and it also makes things worse because 194 00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:38,140 The free agency quarterback class horrible the quarterback draft class horrible both of them are horrible 195 00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:46,700 So exactly what are you going to do because let's be real here last year? They should have drafted their quarterback. You had Drake May you had 196 00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:52,420 Jaden Daniels you had Caleb Williams, of course, it wasn't gonna get Caleb Williams 197 00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:58,660 But you had Jaden Daniels and you also had Drake May okay, and you could have you know done something 198 00:17:59,220 --> 00:18:01,220 But right now 199 00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:06,420 Cam Ward, I don't know about that. Should door Sanders. I don't know about that one either 200 00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,740 Like let's be real here both of those quarterbacks 201 00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:13,900 You could low-key talk yourself out of drafting both of those quarterbacks 202 00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:19,300 And then if you wanted to take the free agency route, you're gonna have to probably give Sam Darno 203 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:22,500 At least 45 to maybe 50 plus million a year 204 00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:27,780 Depending on how the playoffs go with the Vikings you're gonna have to give him a whole lot of money 205 00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:34,380 Are you willing to give him a whole lot of money when we know that they need to go and they need to get? 206 00:18:34,660 --> 00:18:39,140 You know another receiver they need to you know work on the offensive line 207 00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:42,380 They need to do a lot for both sides of the ball 208 00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:47,580 So again, Joe Shane, what is your illustrious plan? 209 00:18:48,060 --> 00:18:51,820 Because as of right now if I am the owner for the Giants 210 00:18:51,940 --> 00:18:56,780 You would have been going by now, especially with the Saquon situation. You would have been gone 211 00:18:57,380 --> 00:19:03,860 Because you allow him to walk you didn't even try to fight to try to see if you could get him 212 00:19:03,860 --> 00:19:05,860 He told you where he wanted to be 213 00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,460 So that should have let you know okay? 214 00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:15,340 Let's try to see we can find some common ground come to an agreement and then try to build this team and make this team better 215 00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:22,820 But instead you let him walk and then you said oh we can find somebody that can do you know just as much as what as what he's doing 216 00:19:22,820 --> 00:19:26,660 No, you can't no you can't there's not a whole bunch of Saquon Barclays walking around 217 00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:32,900 I'm just gonna be honest with you and so Brian Dable if I'm him honestly speaking 218 00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:34,940 I'm throwing Joe Shane under the bus 219 00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:39,540 100% I'm throwing him under the bus and the reason why I say that is because I 220 00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:47,460 Was the one who was saying we needed to get Jaden Daniels. I was the one you didn't want to do it 221 00:19:47,460 --> 00:19:56,060 So guess what now that you had your fun messing up the quarterback position let the real experts do it and let me pick my guy 222 00:19:56,740 --> 00:20:00,700 Give me that power to do it not him. Let me make that decision 223 00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:07,340 Because he messed up on the book on the decision. He whiffed on he let the decision actually walk 224 00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:12,820 So now let me do what I have to do. What's best for this team? 225 00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:18,020 Otherwise, we're gonna continue to go in the same circle of what we're going in now 226 00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:22,380 Let's talk about the trouble that is brewing right now in Miami. Okay, so 227 00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:24,900 Todd Rick Hill is basically said he's out 228 00:20:25,580 --> 00:20:29,980 Okay, he threw up the deuces and said hey it's been nice 229 00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:33,420 I like Disney World. I like this, you know 230 00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:37,860 Sunshine every day, you know nice warm weather 231 00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:42,580 But I like to win, you know, that's why I came here because I like to win 232 00:20:42,580 --> 00:20:49,700 And so this is what he said after game and I quote this is the first time I haven't been in the playoffs 233 00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:55,740 For me, I have to do what's best for me and my family if that's here or whatever the case may be 234 00:20:55,740 --> 00:21:02,900 I'm going to open that door for myself. I'm opening the door. I'm out 235 00:21:03,020 --> 00:21:06,860 It was great playing here, but hey, I've got to do what's best for my career 236 00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:14,220 I'm too much of a competitor to be just out of here. Inquil. Yes, Tyree kill wants out. Okay 237 00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:22,740 Man, oh man, did that instantly create a firestorm on Twitter? Okay. Now, let's talk about Mike McDaniels 238 00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:24,700 comments 239 00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:31,140 About Tyree kill and him wanting to open up the door. Okay, and I quote 240 00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:34,660 I was informed that he was unavailable right before drive 241 00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:40,140 I was not informed that it wasn't a new injury and I think at that point in time 242 00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:45,380 My focus was on the players and I didn't take the time to go try to figure out 243 00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:51,020 More into that just if there was guys in the field that were competing 244 00:21:51,020 --> 00:21:57,740 We were trying to win again. What in the world this don't make no dad on says, you know, I'll forget about this 245 00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:00,820 Tyree kills 246 00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:02,540 stats for 247 00:22:02,540 --> 00:22:07,260 For this season. Oh my god. You have to laugh at this folks 81 receptions 248 00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:14,300 959 receiving yards six touchdowns 11.8 receiving yards per reception. That's pretty bad 249 00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:18,420 By Tyree kill standards. That's pretty bad. That's really bad 250 00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:25,340 Now a lot of that has to do with you know, to it, you know being out for a set period of time because they were trying to figure out 251 00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:27,340 What were they gonna do with him with all the, you know? 252 00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:34,340 Concussions that he were having I get all of that but come on bro. Like you just you just let the cat out the back 253 00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:36,340 You just say yeah 254 00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:42,020 Yeah, this ain't the same for me, you know, it was nice, you know, it really was nice 255 00:22:42,020 --> 00:22:48,140 You guys have been nothing but great, but I like to win. I'm a competitor. So yeah 256 00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:50,140 I'm out here, but at the same time 257 00:22:50,780 --> 00:22:58,060 You were the same person that was talking all this smack prior to the season. So where is that same energy? 258 00:22:58,060 --> 00:23:03,820 Tyree kill. I'm just asking where's that same energy? Did you really think you guys were actually gonna do something? 259 00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:08,940 Really be honest with yourself. Did you really think you guys were gonna do something because I did it? 260 00:23:08,940 --> 00:23:13,460 I did it and then not to mention you got Jaylin Ramsey 261 00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:18,780 That's basically, you know, sort of alleging that he wants out as well like who? 262 00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:24,020 This story is just getting better and better and better 263 00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:26,980 Man, oh man, this is 264 00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:29,220 hilarious 265 00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:38,020 Well, am I not surprised? No, but do I think a lot of this has to do with the uncertainty of Tua and just where the team is going? 266 00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:38,660 Yes, I do 267 00:23:38,660 --> 00:23:45,220 But this is what people signed up for when you signed with the Dolphins. There was uncertainty with Tua 268 00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:53,820 I'm sorry. I don't care what weapons they have. I just don't trust to I just don't it's not because of his play 269 00:23:54,180 --> 00:24:01,580 But it's just the simple fact that he continues to sustain these head injuries and the more head injuries that he sustains 270 00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:05,860 The longer that he's been out for and that's starting to become a trend 271 00:24:05,860 --> 00:24:11,620 But only time will tell my guess is he's probably gonna stay in Miami 272 00:24:11,620 --> 00:24:17,220 I don't think they're really gonna get rid of Tyree kill, especially with them giving him an extension this offseason 273 00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:23,660 They're not gonna get rid of Tyree kill. They're just not now if he does most likely he's gonna stay in the AFC 274 00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:28,980 Now will he go to someone like the Chargers or back to the Chiefs or? 275 00:24:29,580 --> 00:24:33,420 Whomever there's a possibility because there is a market for Tyree kill 276 00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:36,740 But at the same time, I don't think the Dolphins would 277 00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:43,260 Realistically entertain any deals for Tyree kill but onto a more somber 278 00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:49,020 Situation that we do have to talk about and that is Black Monday as some people call it 279 00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:51,420 So if you guys don't know Black Monday is basically 280 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:57,900 That Monday after the end of the regular season where a lot of coaches, you know lose their jobs 281 00:24:58,260 --> 00:25:00,260 Okay, a lot of head coaches 282 00:25:00,260 --> 00:25:04,340 Use coordinators assistance you name it. It's clean house 283 00:25:05,020 --> 00:25:09,380 Essentially and so when we look at the head coaches that lost their jobs, you know 284 00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:13,980 Of course Robert Sala and Matt Iberfus that were fired early into the season 285 00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:16,140 But you have Doug Peterson 286 00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:18,340 Dennis Allen Antonio Pierce 287 00:25:18,620 --> 00:25:25,820 Geronimo who we talked about, you know earlier into the episode as well as you know some GM's and even defense of course 288 00:25:25,820 --> 00:25:32,500 Defensive coordinators and offensive coordinators, you know, you have ran car a car for the former GM for the Titans 289 00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:36,940 You have Nick Sorensen the former defensive coordinator for the Niners 290 00:25:36,940 --> 00:25:40,180 You have Gus Bradley the former defensive coordinator for the Colts 291 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:42,700 Lou 292 00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:49,620 Anomero, I think if I'm pronouncing your last name correctly forgive me if I'm not the you know DC for the bangles 293 00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:52,340 You have Ken Dorsey the former Browns offensive coordinator 294 00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:58,620 Andy Dickerson the Browns old line coach Joe Douglas the former Jets GM Shane Waldron 295 00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:02,140 Bears OC Luke Etsy Raiders OC a rich 296 00:26:02,780 --> 00:26:09,420 Scurrangelo Raiders QB coach James Craig Raiders old line coach like a lot of people losing their jobs 297 00:26:09,420 --> 00:26:14,820 a lot of that has to deal with you know the direction of where the team is trying to go and 298 00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:20,940 Who are they're trying to bring in and you know those people that they're that they're trying to bring in as well as you know 299 00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:27,420 They're new head coach and whatnot. So, you know, it's clean house for a lot of people unfortunately, but I think one of 300 00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:30,460 firings that I think really sort of 301 00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:34,300 Call me off guard was the firing of the Titans GM 302 00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:42,080 Red Car Thor and the reason why I say that is because you know the the Titans were a work in progress, right? 303 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,780 And we all know that you know when you're going through a rebuild 304 00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:53,180 Whether it be a complete rebuild or you're rebuilding one side of the ball. That's gonna take some time 305 00:26:53,420 --> 00:26:59,340 He got fired not to mention. We also have to you know at at this end 306 00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:03,820 He literally positioned the Titans to get the first overall pick in the draft 307 00:27:04,580 --> 00:27:08,300 So not only did I get you a good head coach? I 308 00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:15,340 Make a crazy blockbuster trade and getting the Jarius need the defense was actually looking really good 309 00:27:15,340 --> 00:27:21,180 They have you know some foundational pieces on the defense. I just really have to worry about the offense 310 00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:26,020 and so this draft they were probably gonna draft their quarterback and 311 00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:33,900 You know really fix up this team and for you to just fire him in the midst of him trying to fix the team 312 00:27:34,660 --> 00:27:42,420 Definitely says a lot about you and granted. I understand if you guys were somewhat competitive and 313 00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:47,780 You were either trying to win the division or you were close to winning the division 314 00:27:47,780 --> 00:27:51,620 But you you know you lost an important game or whatever 315 00:27:52,260 --> 00:27:54,260 Okay, give him some criticism 316 00:27:55,060 --> 00:28:02,180 Move on but the fact that he was still trying to really build this team. He hit on 317 00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:06,780 What was it been Ben Skoronski? I think I 318 00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:11,980 Forgot his name. He was an offensive lineman. I was really high on you hit on him 319 00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:19,620 That's a you know franchise guard then you draft JC Lathan. Okay, cool. That's really good to offense alignment really good 320 00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:25,340 Now all you have to do is really address the quarterback position and they were gonna do that 321 00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:30,540 But guess what now you messed it up, but even then with this whole Titan situation 322 00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:35,620 It's a little bit weird because if I'm not mistaken on their website 323 00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:44,540 Either the person that was working with him or under him like their title was like similar to his like it's it's it's just really complicated 324 00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:50,580 Honestly, but again another firing that did not need to happen 325 00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:56,460 But now that we're done with all the coaching stuff and whatnot. Let's just get into some football 326 00:28:56,460 --> 00:29:02,660 Okay, because that's what we came here to talk about is we have to talk about a game that you know a lot of people are gonna 327 00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:05,980 be talking about this Steelers and Ravens matchup because 328 00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:11,500 This is probably gonna be one of the most anticipated games this entire weekend because 329 00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:16,620 On one side you have, you know fans who are saying we need to get rid of our head coach 330 00:29:16,620 --> 00:29:22,140 And then you have the other side where this team is destined to win a Super Bowl 331 00:29:22,140 --> 00:29:26,620 But all the team has to do was just you know coach a really good game 332 00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:34,500 But even then you don't really know because the coach has made some you know questionable decisions like it's just a lot 333 00:29:35,020 --> 00:29:39,260 For all the Ravens fans most likely you guys are gonna win this game 334 00:29:39,380 --> 00:29:46,180 Okay, I'm calling it the way that I see it the Ravens are gonna win this game now the question is how bad 335 00:29:46,820 --> 00:29:48,820 Are the Steelers gonna lose? 336 00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:55,020 Because if the Steelers lose worse than their last matchup against the Ravens in the regular season 337 00:29:55,020 --> 00:29:59,500 I think it's time for us to have an honest conversation about where the team is going 338 00:30:00,060 --> 00:30:05,180 But if the game is close like their first matchup on the regular season 339 00:30:05,540 --> 00:30:09,220 Then you know it'll be a tough pill to swallow 340 00:30:09,860 --> 00:30:14,500 But I think you know it's just something that that you just have to 341 00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:20,460 Accept and deal with because let's be real here and I really haven't said a whole lot about this 342 00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:24,060 I was gonna you know put out some videos on tiktok, but 343 00:30:24,060 --> 00:30:30,620 I just had to stop myself because I knew that it was going to be more emotion than truth 344 00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:34,500 And so this is what I will say about Mike Tomlin in the Steelers 345 00:30:35,020 --> 00:30:41,740 You guys were in prime position to have the number three seed in the playoffs 346 00:30:42,540 --> 00:30:45,200 You literally had to win one game 347 00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:50,600 Against the Ravens and you would have had the AFC North title 348 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:58,880 On top of that you had a two game lead over the Ravens and you messed that up. You screwed it up 349 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,000 Why? 350 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,160 This falls on my Tomlin shoulders 351 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:12,240 I'm sorry and then not to mention you go on this for you basically lose out of the regular season now granted 352 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,180 I didn't expect for them to win against the Chiefs. I'm just gonna be honest here 353 00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:20,840 I didn't expect for them to win against the Eagles, but it did look like at one point 354 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,600 They were going to try to you know tie things up in that game. So 355 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,880 You know I 356 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,880 Was a little bit on the fence about that game 357 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:36,580 But the bangles and the Ravens those are two games that you could have easily won and the fact that you did not win 358 00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:40,320 Those two games definitely says a lot about where this team is right now 359 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:48,320 This team continues to go in this carousel of just doing just enough and the first part of the season 360 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,200 They're playing lights out. They're doing you know all these different types of things 361 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,600 They're holding teams under you know 20 some points and putting on a good show 362 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:04,980 But when it comes to the games that matter the most when it comes to December football you flop you fail 363 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,320 You crumble under the pressure and that is not good 364 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:16,480 You cannot can you cannot consider yourself to be a true contender if you cannot go 365 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,240 Mono we mono with the big dogs if you can't hold your own 366 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:28,800 Against the Eagles if you can't hold your own against the bills against the Chiefs or any of these other teams 367 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,960 You can't win the big game 368 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,560 that's it and 369 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:42,640 So I have been continuing to beat on the table and continue to say this 370 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:51,240 We need to expand the coaching staff because right now. I don't like where things are going with this offense 371 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,980 Right now. This is giving me mad canada vibes all over again. It's a very lethargic 372 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,560 very 373 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,200 easy to read 374 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:07,680 Offense everybody knows when Najee is coming in guess what most likely you're gonna run up the middle 375 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:13,040 Or they're gonna do a half-back toss everybody knows when Jalen Warren is in they're gonna try to do something a little bit 376 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,440 Quota quote creative, but even then if we're being real here 377 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:23,600 There's not even half of the creativity that we saw when our perspective was the OC for the Titans 378 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,440 You don't even see half of that over here 379 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,920 Why is that? 380 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:35,000 You have someone like a Justin Fields on your team and you don't even try to utilize him in a creative way 381 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,640 Why is that? 382 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,360 Why I need somebody to answer that question for me 383 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,640 Please leave it in the comments below of this episode on our Instagram football underscore junkies pod 384 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,520 Because right now I do not like where things are going with this team 385 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:57,320 We are wasting the prime years of a TJ Y and Minkafis Patrick and everybody else that we have either 386 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,000 Acquired via draft or free agency. We are wasting their time 387 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,840 Because why we want to be? 388 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,520 Contempt of where we are you cannot do that 389 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:14,800 The only reason why a lot of these other teams are so competitive is because not only do they have great players 390 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:20,600 But their coaching is great and if your coaching is not good guess what you're not gonna go anywhere 391 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:27,320 No, where I'm sorry. Let's just be real here. Let's have this honest hard-to-hard conversation in my fellow football junkies 392 00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:29,280 because right now 393 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,320 The Steelers are wasting time of their great players 394 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:41,760 Because they don't want to make necessary changes. I'm telling you right now if the Steelers get blown out 395 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,040 I'm talking about the windows 396 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:49,880 Though the walls the whole house comes down on Saturday 397 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:55,080 I will in center saying Mike Tomlin needs to clean house or better yet 398 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:02,160 Mike Tomlin needs to go because I'm tired of people saying well Mike Tomlin is you know, it's never had a losing season 399 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,240 Let me tell you something that crap is out the window 400 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:13,560 That'll mean a damn thing at this point because you know why you look at any of the other coaches that we talk about very highly of 401 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,320 They've all had losing seasons and when they lost 402 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:23,120 Those seasons guess what that next season they came back even better. They did something a little bit different 403 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:28,000 They had a little bit more of an edge to them. I don't see that edge with this Steelers team 404 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,200 Mike Tomlin has whiffed on the offensive coordinator 405 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,120 position hire for the last few years and 406 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,720 I think that needs to be talked about that is not good 407 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,160 You need to bring in someone 408 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,600 like a Pep Hamilton like a 409 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,920 Byron left witch you need to bring in some people that can show you a 410 00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:57,080 Different angle of how to attack these defenses on how to be a little bit more creative when it comes to the offensive play calling 411 00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:04,120 Same thing with the defense you need to bring in somebody and have them play the role that Brian Flores did 412 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,960 Because right now Tj Watt is going through a little bit of a drought. I'm not getting a sack 413 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,480 Now you would have you know had but they took that away because of the penalty 414 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,480 But that's another story for another day 415 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,400 But the fact of the matter is if we want to be truly competitive 416 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,800 We have to make 417 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:31,880 Changes not only inches, but we have to make coaching changes right now in my mind. I do not think Russell Wilson will be back 418 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,000 I 419 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,080 Think based off his play with the final games of the season 420 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:42,920 He's out of here. Okay, even if he said he was willing to play for less 421 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:49,400 I think you just have to move in a different direction because you are starting to see the same things that we saw 422 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,960 When he was with the Broncos and it's not looking good. I don't care 423 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,960 You know how he addresses things, you know when it comes to the press conferences and whatnot. I don't care 424 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,760 We are about winning if we say that we are a team about 425 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:13,320 Championships then we have to live up to that standard because right now the defense has failed this year because you know why on paper 426 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,640 This is a top three defense 427 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,480 But they have not played like a top five defense 428 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,240 They haven't even played like a top ten defense if we can be real here 429 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,800 Now normally I wouldn't be as super critical about my Steelers 430 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,120 But I have to be because you know why we are failing people 431 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,920 We are failing the prime years of some of our favorite players because we cannot get our head out of our own ass 432 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,120 When it comes to making crucial decisions 433 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:49,720 Now I'm going to save the rest of it for when we have our bigger episode when it comes to the offseason 434 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,040 Once the season is completely over with 435 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,640 By then I may be even a little bit more upset or maybe less upset who knows 436 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:03,000 But back to this game though. I do expect the Ravens to rely more on Derek Henry 437 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:07,800 Rashad Bateman their tight ends and maybe even Tess Walker. I definitely do 438 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:14,680 Because they we all know they was not going to play this game. We know most likely he probably won't be ready until the AFC championship 439 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,240 That's perfectly fine. But I do believe 440 00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:23,640 This team right now is red hot and they know exactly how they are going to beat the Steelers 441 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,360 They know it 442 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,720 Now for the Steelers you have an opportunity to create an upset 443 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:39,320 But you have to be on your peas in cubes the offense. You have to come out faster 444 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,960 You have to be able to put points on the board 445 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:47,880 Otherwise if you do not do that as well as control the time of possession 446 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,240 You're going to be in the same situation that you was 447 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,000 In the last game, which is basically getting dogged 448 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000 By the Ravens offense by Derek Henry 449 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:03,240 Okay, now when we look at the Broncos and bills matchup 450 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:07,720 I actually like this one because the Broncos have been on a tear lately 451 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,520 I don't know people realize this but they really have been on a tear not to mention 452 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:18,200 This is sort of like a coming home game for von Miller as well because you're going up against your former team 453 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,520 So there might be a little bit more, you know emotion involved in this 454 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:29,720 But I think this is a really good matchup me personally. I think the Broncos could upset the bills 455 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,520 I really could I'm just being honest here 456 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:38,760 Bowen X is playing very well that defense is playing very well. They are playing with house money 457 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,640 Let's be real here folks 458 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,280 The Broncos are the team that I think 459 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000 Nobody wants to see in the playoffs 460 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,960 Because right now they have nothing to lose. They are a young team and 461 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,040 What what Sean Payne and Van Joe Joseph is doing? 462 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,120 phenomenal 463 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,360 Absolutely phenomenal. Now when we move things over to the Packers and the Eagles though 464 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,920 things are a little bit more different with them because 465 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,960 We have to wait and see what exactly is going to happen with 466 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,080 The quarterback position with the Eagles because we know that Jaylen Hurst is still in concussion protocol 467 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:19,400 We know that Kenny is still dealing with a rev injury and we know Tanner McKee. I think 468 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,200 Is he injured either? He's injured or he's not injured, but we just had to see what's going to happen 469 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,480 You know when it comes to the quarterback if Jaylen Hurst plays 470 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:34,280 This thing might be a close game, but if not, I do believe the Packers are going to get this win now 471 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:42,280 I do know it's a little bit more difficult for the Packers to win because Christian Watson is out for the season with a torn ACL 472 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:48,120 And Jair Alexander is also out as well. So it's going to be a little bit tough for them 473 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:53,400 But I do believe they can hold in and they can try to maybe get a win against the Eagles 474 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,400 But only time will tell 475 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,000 Now this is what I will say if the Eagles do lose 476 00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,960 I would not be surprised 477 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,600 If that head coach is gone 478 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,560 Just saying I'm just going to leave that there.
