00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.319
With the regular season coming to a close and

00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:04.879
the playoffs on the horizon, I decided to start

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.259
a new series called Stack or Shed. Now in this

00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:10.339
series, we're going to be discussing all the

00:00:10.339 --> 00:00:12.140
teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:14.560
so far, and we're simply going to answer these

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.899
simple questions. What went wrong in their season?

00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.940
What do they need? Stack or Shed, which essentially

00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:22.640
means do they continue to build with what they

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.399
have right now, or do they just scrap everything

00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.239
and start all over again? Their draft picks.

00:00:28.699 --> 00:00:32.020
One move I would do in their cap space as well

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:34.460
as their free agents, okay? Now, the first two

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:36.600
episodes would be fairly lengthy because there's

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.920
a lot of teams. But after that, we're going to

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.039
transition into just doing one team per episode.

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:44.079
So in this episode, we're going to do the AFC.

00:00:44.259 --> 00:00:46.179
And then the next episode, we're going to do

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:48.240
the NFC. So let's start with the Titans, okay?

00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:51.299
What went wrong in their season? And I would

00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:53.380
venture to say it was the lack of playmakers

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:56.270
and inexperienced coaching. Now, at first I was

00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:58.609
going to say bad coaching, but I don't think

00:00:58.609 --> 00:01:01.770
Brian Callahan is a bad coach. I just think he

00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:03.770
bit more than what he can chew. And the reason

00:01:03.770 --> 00:01:06.409
why I say that is because a lot of times these

00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:09.049
first time head coaches, when they go into these

00:01:09.049 --> 00:01:13.010
situations like the Titans or the Giants or the

00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:15.569
Jaguars or the Cardinals, you know, teams that

00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:18.569
are going through hard rebuilds, it's a lot to

00:01:18.569 --> 00:01:21.150
take on. And a lot of times you're not going

00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:23.950
to be the answer on why that team changes and

00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:26.170
becomes better. A lot of times you're going to

00:01:26.170 --> 00:01:28.450
be the sacrificial lamb. And that's exactly what

00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:31.269
happened. Not to mention, we can all agree that

00:01:31.269 --> 00:01:34.510
under Brian Callahan's tenure, the Titans did

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:37.510
not improve. And in some ways you could say they

00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:40.670
were stagnant. So we can't say that he's either...

00:01:40.909 --> 00:01:43.790
a bad coach or a good coach, but instead we can

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:45.670
just say that he's a coach that walked into a

00:01:45.670 --> 00:01:47.769
situation that he couldn't overcome. And that's

00:01:47.769 --> 00:01:50.189
okay. Now, the other problem that derailed the

00:01:50.189 --> 00:01:52.349
Titans this season was the lack of playmakers.

00:01:52.769 --> 00:01:55.609
Now, granted, Tony Pollard and Tajay Spears and

00:01:55.609 --> 00:01:58.310
Elick Umanor were doing their thing, but... This

00:01:58.310 --> 00:02:00.849
was more of a group effort. This wasn't just

00:02:00.849 --> 00:02:03.390
one person being dominant. Here's the stats of

00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:05.870
all their playmakers this season. Tony Pollard,

00:02:05.989 --> 00:02:09.349
228 rushing attempts for 1 ,034 rushing yards,

00:02:09.530 --> 00:02:12.490
4 .5 rushing yards per carry, 5 rushing touchdowns,

00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:15.889
and had 30 receptions for 189 receiving yards.

00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:20.030
Tajay Spears, 69 attempts for 265 rushing yards,

00:02:20.210 --> 00:02:23.069
3 .8 rushing yards per carry, 2 rushing touchdowns,

00:02:23.069 --> 00:02:26.610
and had 38 receptions for 255 receiving yards.

00:02:27.469 --> 00:02:31.969
Aquanu. 74 targets for 54 receptions, 558 receiving

00:02:31.969 --> 00:02:34.909
yards, and two receiving touchdowns. Elick Ayumanor,

00:02:35.069 --> 00:02:39.430
79 targets for 38 receptions, 465 receiving yards,

00:02:39.509 --> 00:02:41.810
and four receiving touchdowns. Chamiri Dyke,

00:02:41.969 --> 00:02:45.969
70 targets for 45 receptions, 396 receiving yards,

00:02:46.069 --> 00:02:48.629
and four receiving touchdowns, as well as 18

00:02:48.629 --> 00:02:51.550
rushing yards, just to put that out there. Gunnar

00:02:51.550 --> 00:02:55.889
Helm, 55 targets for 44 receptions, 357 receiving

00:02:55.889 --> 00:02:58.590
yards, and two receiving touchdowns. Van Jefferson,

00:02:58.789 --> 00:03:02.389
52 targets for 29 receptions, 350 receiving yards,

00:03:02.449 --> 00:03:04.270
and one receiving touchdown. touchdown. Calvin

00:03:04.270 --> 00:03:07.949
Ridley, 36 targets for 17 receptions and 303

00:03:07.949 --> 00:03:10.930
receiving arms. Now, granted, if it wasn't for

00:03:10.930 --> 00:03:14.090
Cam Ward being the distributor that he is, I

00:03:14.090 --> 00:03:15.810
think these stats would have been a lot worse.

00:03:16.009 --> 00:03:18.490
But Tony Pollard and Tajay Spears were doing

00:03:18.490 --> 00:03:20.949
their thing in certain games. Elika Uminor was

00:03:20.949 --> 00:03:23.810
showing a lot of promise. So I think there is

00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:26.650
some promise, but at the same time, you need

00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:29.250
more playmakers. Now, am I saying that you can

00:03:29.250 --> 00:03:31.569
go out and you can get a dominant wide receiver?

00:03:31.810 --> 00:03:34.270
No. Because most likely, they're not going to

00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:36.050
want to go to the Titans because the Titans are

00:03:36.050 --> 00:03:38.250
going to be winning a lot of games anytime soon.

00:03:38.370 --> 00:03:40.810
But instead, I think it would be better if you

00:03:40.810 --> 00:03:43.810
just draft one. Now, with that being said, let's

00:03:43.810 --> 00:03:46.189
talk about what do they need. And that is new

00:03:46.189 --> 00:03:49.110
coaching staff and more playmakers. Now, here

00:03:49.110 --> 00:03:50.789
are just some of the head coaching candidates

00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:54.250
that may be available this offseason. Van Joseph.

00:03:54.810 --> 00:03:58.050
Chris Shula, Jeff Halfley, Matt Nagy, Joe Brady,

00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:00.810
Robert Sala, Jesse Minter, Clint Kubiak, Arthur

00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:04.370
Smith, Kevin Stefanski, maybe even Mike McDaniels.

00:04:04.370 --> 00:04:07.590
Now out of those candidates, realistically speaking,

00:04:07.789 --> 00:04:10.289
who would you really want? Because me personally,

00:04:10.409 --> 00:04:12.949
I would say maybe Clint Kubiak or maybe Kevin

00:04:12.949 --> 00:04:16.050
Stefanski, maybe Arthur Smith, because right

00:04:16.050 --> 00:04:18.230
now you need an offensive head coach for Cam

00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:21.300
Ward's development. I understand that Van Joseph

00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:24.839
has done well this year, Chris Shula, Jeff Halfley,

00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.860
Joe Brady, Robert Sala, Jesse Mentzer. I understand

00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:30.860
they've all done well, but I want Clint Kubiak.

00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.779
If you put Clint Kubiak with Cam Ward, I guarantee

00:04:34.779 --> 00:04:37.379
you this offense will look a whole lot better

00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:39.519
next season than what they have been the last

00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.600
two or three years. And if you don't believe

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.279
me, look at the Bears. This time last year, the

00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.680
Bears offense was either the worst or close to

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.300
being the worst offense. Now look at them. You

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:52.899
could consider them to be a top five, maybe a

00:04:52.899 --> 00:04:54.939
top three offense in the entire league right

00:04:54.939 --> 00:04:58.480
now. And that's from just making one move. If

00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.600
you're the Titans, that's all you need to do.

00:05:00.740 --> 00:05:03.800
You get Clint Kubiak, I guarantee you things

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.920
are going to be a whole lot better. You're going

00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.899
to see production out of people that you wouldn't

00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:10.180
have expected. Now, with that being said, the

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:13.019
question we all need to ask ourselves is stack

00:05:13.019 --> 00:05:16.620
or shed? Now, me personally, I said stack. And

00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:19.079
the reason why I say that is because you have

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.160
some pieces. All you have to do is continue to

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.060
build off of it. And you can continue to build

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:28.540
off of it by making the most important decision

00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:31.139
that you need to make, which is hiring the right

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:35.079
head coach. If you do that, I guarantee you everything

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.540
else will fall into place. Now, with that being

00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:39.680
said, you have nine picks in next year's draft.

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.579
You have your first, your second, your third,

00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:43.420
your fourth. You have two fifth round picks,

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:45.660
two sixth round picks, and a seventh round pick.

00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:48.319
Now, the one move I would do is draft a wide

00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.240
receiver. Now, I know there's a lot of people

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.420
that are already turned off, but just hear me

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:55.120
out for a second. I understand that most people

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.060
will say, oh, the Titans need to draft Arville

00:05:57.060 --> 00:06:00.040
Reese or Sonny Stiles or this high -end pass

00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.019
rusher. No, you need to surround Cam Ward with

00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:07.769
weapons. productive weapons to be specific. You

00:06:07.769 --> 00:06:10.189
can get someone like a Makai Lemon or Carnell

00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:12.970
Tate, a Denzel Boston, just to name a few. I

00:06:12.970 --> 00:06:15.050
think if you add one of those wide receivers,

00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:18.370
this offense goes from being a mediocre offense

00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:21.329
to a really good average to slightly above average

00:06:21.329 --> 00:06:24.209
offense. And I think that's good. Now, when we

00:06:24.209 --> 00:06:26.250
look at their cap situation for next year, they're

00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:29.259
going to have 114 .9 million. which is fairly

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:30.920
good. I feel like they could probably have a

00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.240
little bit more if they make a few different

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.639
moves, maybe get rid of Calvin Ridley, maybe

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:36.699
restructure a few deals and whatnot, maybe some

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:39.019
extensions, who knows? But when we look at their

00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:41.579
free agents, you have Kevin Zeitler, Arden Key,

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.240
Sebastian Joseph, Van Jefferson, Brandon Allen,

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:47.139
Johnny Hecker, Morgan Cox, Jihab Ward, Joey Sal,

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.420
James Lynch, just to name a few. So honestly

00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:52.680
speaking, could you bring back some of these

00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.480
free agents? Sure. Are you in a rush to bring

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.980
them back? Not really. I mean, Kevin Zeitler,

00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:00.000
I don't know if he still wants to play. If he

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.800
does, you can bring him back for a cheap deal.

00:07:02.139 --> 00:07:04.519
Same thing with Arden Keyes. Same thing with

00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.060
Sebastian Joseph. Van Jefferson, you can just

00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:08.959
let him walk. Brandon Allen, you can let him

00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.519
walk. Johnny Hacker, you can let him walk. Honestly

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.759
speaking, there's certain parts in this team

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.920
where you can get cheaper. and then there's other

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.660
parts where you may have to invest a little bit

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:20.019
more money now am i saying you gotta just you

00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:22.100
know spend a boatload of money in the first round

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:24.959
of free agency no but at the same time if there's

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:26.959
somebody that you really prioritize that you

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.680
want to make sure that they don't hit free agency

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.579
just lock them up right now now on to the colts

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:33.860
the two things that i believe that went wrong

00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:36.699
in their season were injuries and losing too

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:39.100
many games Because there was a point in time

00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:41.220
where I believed that they were the best team

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:43.360
in the entire league. Because they were just

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.779
killing teams left and right. Defensively, they

00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:48.839
were dominant. Offensively, they were putting

00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.759
up crazy numbers. Jonathan Taylor at one point

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.720
looked like an MVP or Offensive Player of the

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.279
Year candidate. And there were even points where

00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.600
I believe that Daniel Jones probably could have

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.759
been an MVP as well. Now, I know I could have

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.620
been, you know, drinking from the cup a little

00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:06.120
bit, but that's how dominant they were playing.

00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:08.920
And then to just see them just fall off a cliff

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.019
like how they have been the last few weeks is

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:13.680
just crazy to me. But at the same time, this

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.279
is what happens year after year with a lot of

00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.339
these teams. They come out guns blazing. And

00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:21.720
then once we get to the key points of the season,

00:08:21.860 --> 00:08:24.339
they just fall off. It happens all the time.

00:08:24.750 --> 00:08:26.569
Now, with that being said, when we talk about

00:08:26.569 --> 00:08:29.350
injuries, however, I know injuries is a part

00:08:29.350 --> 00:08:32.649
of football, but it's key injuries that I believe

00:08:32.649 --> 00:08:35.409
that caused the team not to win as many games.

00:08:36.009 --> 00:08:38.870
Specifically, Daniel Jones. Once Daniel Jones

00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:41.409
went down, their season was essentially over

00:08:41.409 --> 00:08:43.850
in my book. Because I believe no matter who they

00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:46.149
bring in, they're not going to be able to replicate

00:08:46.149 --> 00:08:48.309
that same momentum that they had with Daniel

00:08:48.309 --> 00:08:51.289
Jones. They couldn't use Anthony Richardson because

00:08:51.289 --> 00:08:54.679
he was still in IR. Riley Leonard is not proven.

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:57.740
Who else could they go to? Ah, I know. They're

00:08:57.740 --> 00:09:00.059
going to call Phillip Rivers. The same Phillip

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:02.299
Rivers that hasn't played football in over five

00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:05.039
years. Because they believe that by getting Phillip

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.500
Rivers, he's going to bring stability back into

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:09.720
this team. Which I don't blame them for because

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.940
at that time, they still had a chokehold within

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.080
their division. They were one of the best teams

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.240
in the AFC. He's familiar with Shane Stuyton's

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.240
system. He's familiar with some of the players

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.779
on this team. So it's a no -brainer. However,

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:25.139
this move was done at a time where they were

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.580
going to start facing a lot of their tougher

00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:28.480
opponents on the schedule. They were going to

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.740
start facing teams like the Seahawks and company,

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:33.860
who you know have really dominant defenses. So

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:36.580
I don't hate the Colts for making the move. It's

00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:39.940
just, it sucks to see that they made all of these

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:42.440
moves this offseason and they were off to a really

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.039
good start just for them not to make it in the

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.700
playoffs. But at the same time, this isn't a

00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:50.600
race. This is a marathon. With that being said,

00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.440
I believe the Colts should continue to stack.

00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.720
And the reason why I say that is because right

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.779
now you have a lot of good pieces on your team.

00:09:56.899 --> 00:09:59.139
There's no need for you to get rid of them. You've

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:01.840
already made a significant investment at corner

00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.940
by giving up two first round picks to get sauce.

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.379
So there's no need for you to just get rid of

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:09.100
people. All you have to do is just address the

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.679
few holes that are on this team. And I guarantee

00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.159
you, you're right back into being playoff contenders

00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.179
next year. Guaranteed. Because let's be honest

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:20.779
here. If Daniel Jones doesn't get hurt, I guarantee

00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:23.080
you they would have at least fought to the end

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.440
to possibly make it into the playoffs. With that

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.419
being said, I believe the Colts should continue

00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:29.720
to stack. And the reason why I say that is because

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.720
you have to continue to let this thing play out.

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:35.379
Because for all intents and purposes, next year

00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:37.059
could be the year where they make that crazy

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:39.700
playoff run. Or better yet, win the Super Bowl.

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:42.960
They're not in a bad spot. All they have to do

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.039
is just address the few holes that are on this

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.019
team. And they're right back to being playoff

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:49.539
contenders. Now, with that being said, they have

00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:51.879
five to seven draft picks, depending on, you

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.320
know, comp picks and whatnot. So, of course,

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.059
they don't have their first. They have their

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:58.519
second, their third, their fourth, fifth, sixth,

00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:01.100
and seventh. Now, with the draft not being an

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:04.419
offensive heavy draft class, I think the Colts

00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:06.659
could possibly trade up into the first round.

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.080
Because I believe, and this is just my personal

00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:10.659
opinion, and I know I have to talk about it,

00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:12.679
and I probably will either do a full episode.

00:11:13.309 --> 00:11:15.830
or at least half an episode talking about the

00:11:15.830 --> 00:11:19.029
draft and my views about the draft. But I truly

00:11:19.029 --> 00:11:21.289
believe that a lot of teams are going to trade

00:11:21.289 --> 00:11:24.870
out of the first round because 26 is the draft

00:11:24.870 --> 00:11:27.210
class that people need to be worried about. It's

00:11:27.210 --> 00:11:31.289
27. Because in 27, you could possibly have Archie

00:11:31.289 --> 00:11:34.590
Manning, Lenora Sellers, Jeremiah Smith, Ryan

00:11:34.590 --> 00:11:37.029
Williams. I could continue to go down the list.

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.299
You could potentially have five to maybe seven

00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:42.919
quarterbacks that may be drafted within the first

00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.720
three rounds. Now, I understand that the draft

00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.360
is a coin flip, and I understand that there's

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.039
a chance that a player might do great or bad.

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.220
But at the same time, I heard a lot of people

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:57.559
going into this season say the 26 draft class

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.879
is going to be really good because Drew Howler

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.039
is going to be there. Lenora Sellers might be

00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.240
there. Archie might be there. The list goes on

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.049
and on. But in actuality, it hasn't panned out

00:12:08.049 --> 00:12:10.649
well. A lot of people have either hit the transfer

00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:13.909
portal or just gone back to school. And a lot

00:12:13.909 --> 00:12:16.330
of people haven't played well. So when you factor

00:12:16.330 --> 00:12:20.009
all those things in, 26 is not the draft class

00:12:20.009 --> 00:12:23.190
you need to be worried about. It's the 27 draft

00:12:23.190 --> 00:12:26.809
class. Look at what the Rams, Cowboys, and Jets

00:12:26.809 --> 00:12:28.529
are going to do. Keep your eye on that because

00:12:28.529 --> 00:12:30.309
we're going to be talking about that moving forward.

00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:33.129
Now, one move I would do if I was the GM for

00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:35.710
the Colts, I would draft a right tackle. Now,

00:12:35.730 --> 00:12:37.389
I know there's a lot of people that are probably

00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:40.009
saying, why are you so obsessed with the offensive

00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:43.690
line? Offensive line this, offensive line that.

00:12:44.190 --> 00:12:46.950
Offensive, offensive, offensive line. Hear me

00:12:46.950 --> 00:12:50.169
out, okay? Braden Smith is going to be your free

00:12:50.169 --> 00:12:52.909
agent. Are you really going to bring back Braden

00:12:52.909 --> 00:12:55.850
Smith when his market value, according to Spoltrak,

00:12:55.929 --> 00:12:58.799
is $13 .8 million? When you know you're going

00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.059
to have to give a big deal to Daniel Jones, and

00:13:01.059 --> 00:13:02.480
you know you're going to have to pay Michael

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.440
Pittman Jr., and you know you're going to have

00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.919
to pay Jonathan Taylor a lot of money, no, you're

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.279
not going to do that. You're going to go cheap

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.200
at right tackle. Not to mention, there's a few

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.600
good prospects at right tackle. Spencer Fonu,

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:18.120
there's a right tackle from Miami. You could

00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.679
have some potential really good right tackles

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.230
that come out of next year's draft class. I would

00:13:23.230 --> 00:13:26.929
make that move compared to just paying Braden

00:13:26.929 --> 00:13:29.710
Smith a boatload of money. And this is no shot

00:13:29.710 --> 00:13:32.730
at Braden Smith at all, but sacrifices are going

00:13:32.730 --> 00:13:35.070
to have to be made. Now, with that being said,

00:13:35.110 --> 00:13:36.850
when we look at their cap for next season, they're

00:13:36.850 --> 00:13:39.929
going to have $54 .2 million. Now, can they create

00:13:39.929 --> 00:13:42.250
a little bit more? Yes, of course. Anybody can

00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:45.110
do that. They can do some restructures, cut a

00:13:45.110 --> 00:13:47.590
few people, move some money around, you know,

00:13:47.649 --> 00:13:49.570
same old, same old. Okay, so I'm not really worried

00:13:49.570 --> 00:13:51.549
about that. Now, when we talk about their free

00:13:51.549 --> 00:13:53.529
agents, like I just said, you're going to have

00:13:53.529 --> 00:13:57.269
Braden Smith, Daniel Jones, Samson Abukam, Quidi

00:13:57.269 --> 00:14:00.549
Pei, Mo 'Ali Cox, Danny Pinter, Alec Pierce,

00:14:00.750 --> 00:14:02.950
Jermaine Pratt, Neville Gilmore, Nick Cross,

00:14:03.269 --> 00:14:06.149
Jacob Phillips, just to name a few. Now, out

00:14:06.149 --> 00:14:09.009
of all of those names, realistically speaking,

00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:10.809
who do you think they're going to bring back?

00:14:11.629 --> 00:14:13.409
You know they're going to bring back Daniel Jones.

00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:16.029
Alec Pierce is most likely going to come back.

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.620
Nick Cross, maybe Quiddipay, maybe Mo Ali Cox

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:23.559
for tight end def. They don't have a lot of top

00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.559
end people that they have to pay a lot of money

00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.309
to. But at the same time. There's a chance that

00:14:29.309 --> 00:14:31.669
Jonathan Taylor may want more money. There's

00:14:31.669 --> 00:14:34.029
a chance that maybe this person may hold out

00:14:34.029 --> 00:14:36.769
or that person may hold out. So only time will

00:14:36.769 --> 00:14:39.269
tell. But I do believe that the Colts are in

00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:41.029
a really good spot. And I do believe that they'll

00:14:41.029 --> 00:14:43.509
be back to being playoff contenders next season.

00:14:43.629 --> 00:14:46.269
Now let's talk about the Raiders. So what went

00:14:46.269 --> 00:14:49.590
wrong in their season? Bad coaching, lack of

00:14:49.590 --> 00:14:52.389
talent, and bad roster construction. So let's

00:14:52.389 --> 00:14:54.820
start with bad coaching. I understand that Pete

00:14:54.820 --> 00:14:56.620
Carroll is a player's coach and I understand

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:59.460
there's a lot of players that love him, but I

00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:02.080
never believed that the Raiders players bought

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.480
into what Pete Carroll was trying to sell them.

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.340
Now, if this was a few years ago, oh, this Raiders

00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:11.019
team would be all in on what Pete Carroll is

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:13.779
trying to sell them. But nowadays, I feel like

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:16.480
Pete Carroll's message has gone stale. I believe

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.860
that just the very aura that Pete Carroll used

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:24.019
to have. has withered away, and that's okay.

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:27.740
But what you can't do is bring in Chip Kelly

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:29.940
and make him your offensive coordinator and think

00:15:29.940 --> 00:15:31.480
this is going to work. It wasn't going to work.

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.779
It was not going to work, folks, okay? Let's

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:37.360
really be honest here. Did you really think that

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.080
Chip Kelly was going to be this innovating mastermind

00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.179
for this offense? No. Let me just read to you

00:15:43.179 --> 00:15:45.740
some stats just to back this up, okay? They had

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:49.669
the 32nd ranked offense, and they averaged 14

00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:54.009
.2 points per game, 247 .8 yards per game, 4

00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:57.149
.5 yards per play, and 25 touchdowns. Now, if

00:15:57.149 --> 00:15:59.549
you break that down by passing offense and rushing

00:15:59.549 --> 00:16:02.750
offense, they were 27th in passing offense, and

00:16:02.750 --> 00:16:05.889
they averaged 172 .8 passing yards per game,

00:16:06.029 --> 00:16:09.110
5 passing yards per play, and 20 passing touchdowns.

00:16:09.230 --> 00:16:11.909
They were dead last in rushing offense, and they

00:16:11.909 --> 00:16:16.110
averaged 74 .9 rushing yards per game, 3 .6 rushing

00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:19.500
yards per play, and 5 rushing touchdowns. Five

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:23.100
rushing touchdowns. They just drafted Ashton

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:26.440
Gentry, and all you could do was get five rushing

00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.899
touchdowns. Put a bookmark on that for a moment,

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.519
okay? When we go a little bit deeper with some

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.559
advanced stats, okay? Their offensive explosive

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.799
pass rate was 12 .7%. Their offensive explosive

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:44.120
run rate was 8 .6%. They have 108 red zone plays

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.559
for 18 red zone touchdowns. Now, when we look

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.299
at their defense, okay, they allowed a 14 .6

00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:54.419
% defensive explosive pass rate. They allowed

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:58.460
a 9 .8 % defensive explosive run rate. They allowed

00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:03.159
214 red zone plays and also allowed 37 red zone

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.440
touchdowns. Could you blame this on the players?

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:07.559
Yes. Could you blame this on the coaching staff?

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:10.480
Yes. But I feel like a lot of the attention needs

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.720
to go towards the front office because what you

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:17.210
have built is not sustainable. And what you have

00:17:17.210 --> 00:17:20.170
currently needs to just be shredded. Now, I understand

00:17:20.170 --> 00:17:22.009
Raiders fans probably don't want to hear that

00:17:22.009 --> 00:17:23.730
because you're tired of going through rebuild

00:17:23.730 --> 00:17:26.130
after rebuild after rebuild after rebuild, but

00:17:26.130 --> 00:17:29.470
you really need to just scrap with what you have

00:17:29.470 --> 00:17:32.210
because what you have right now is not sustainable.

00:17:32.670 --> 00:17:35.009
Now, I understand that's probably not the best

00:17:35.009 --> 00:17:38.650
move, but it's the most necessary move. Now,

00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:40.569
the good news is you're going to have a lot of

00:17:40.569 --> 00:17:42.930
picks. You could potentially have eight to 10

00:17:42.930 --> 00:17:45.329
picks depending on the comp pick system, all

00:17:45.329 --> 00:17:46.980
right? So, of course, you're going to have your

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:48.859
first, your second, your third. You're going

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:51.460
to have two fourth round picks, a fifth, a sixth,

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.420
and a seventh. Okay, which is good. Now, the

00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:56.460
one move I would do, and I know Raiders fans,

00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.220
you probably have all said this as well. I'm

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:02.079
moving off of Max Crosby. I understand that the

00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.079
fan base loves him and he loves the fan base,

00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:07.339
but this relationship isn't working. They haven't

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:09.759
gone anywhere since he's been with the team.

00:18:10.250 --> 00:18:12.670
Now, sure, they've had a few different spurts

00:18:12.670 --> 00:18:14.849
where the team is playing really good ball and,

00:18:14.910 --> 00:18:16.789
you know, they're making some noise and whatnot,

00:18:16.950 --> 00:18:19.910
but they don't have that consistency. They'll

00:18:19.910 --> 00:18:21.769
have a team that's good for maybe two or three

00:18:21.769 --> 00:18:24.029
seasons, and then guess what? They're going through

00:18:24.029 --> 00:18:26.109
the same cycle all over again, which is what?

00:18:26.390 --> 00:18:29.170
Being in the top five or top 10 range for every

00:18:29.170 --> 00:18:32.289
single draft. Now, according to Spoltrak, if

00:18:32.289 --> 00:18:35.710
a team trades for Max Crosby, he only has guaranteed

00:18:35.710 --> 00:18:39.430
money in 26, and that's only 30 million. However,

00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.759
his money in 27 becomes fully guaranteed on March

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.519
13th. Now the Raiders would take on a dead cap

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.359
this upcoming season of 5 .1 million, which they

00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.619
would save 30 .7 million. So either way, this

00:18:53.619 --> 00:18:56.900
is a win -win situation for both sides. Now the

00:18:56.900 --> 00:19:00.000
question is this, what's Max Crosby's value right

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.160
now? Because I believe that his value has diminished

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.400
a little bit. He's still worth a first round

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.420
pick. It's just, you could have gotten two first

00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:10.430
round picks for him. if you would have done this

00:19:10.430 --> 00:19:12.849
in the offseason. Now, the question is this.

00:19:13.089 --> 00:19:15.630
Who would be willing to trade for Max Crosby?

00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:18.769
Would it be the Ravens? Would it be the Eagles?

00:19:19.349 --> 00:19:22.069
Would it be the Cowboys? Because he has a market.

00:19:22.390 --> 00:19:24.769
Make no mistake about that. He has a market.

00:19:25.289 --> 00:19:28.289
The question is, will the Raiders be willing

00:19:28.289 --> 00:19:32.549
to entertain teams? And if so, how long would

00:19:32.549 --> 00:19:34.869
it take for them to make this move? Now, of course,

00:19:34.970 --> 00:19:36.609
they're going to have a lot of cap space because

00:19:36.609 --> 00:19:38.430
they essentially have nobody on their books.

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:42.220
They're going to have 121 .2 million, which,

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:44.960
I mean, that's not bad at all, right? But when

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.160
we look at their free agents, you're going to

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.799
have Kenny Pickett, Eric Stokes, Landon Roberts,

00:19:50.099 --> 00:19:52.720
Lonnie Johnson, Raheem Mostert, Dylan Parham,

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:56.480
Jamal Adams, Tyler Lockett, Devin White, Zamir

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.579
White. These aren't really big contracts that

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:01.539
you would have to give them, honestly. A lot

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:03.940
of these people are either going to retire or

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:06.799
just go on to another team, honestly. Would you

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.480
want to bring back maybe Kenny Pickett? Maybe.

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.759
Do you want to bring back Jamal Adams or Devin

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.700
White? Maybe. But I don't think this isn't something

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:19.380
where, oh, we have to do something now or we're

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:22.480
going to lose him. Like, no, trust me. Now, the

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.420
question is this. If you're a head coach candidate,

00:20:25.660 --> 00:20:28.069
would you take this job? Now, I know a lot of

00:20:28.069 --> 00:20:29.990
people will say, hell yeah, I'll take this job.

00:20:30.150 --> 00:20:32.690
This isn't Madden, okay? This isn't something

00:20:32.690 --> 00:20:34.849
where you can just pick this person and pick

00:20:34.849 --> 00:20:36.730
that person. You can just add them to your team

00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:38.390
and everything's going to be a -okay and whatnot.

00:20:38.690 --> 00:20:42.490
No, this is life, okay? But really ask yourself

00:20:42.490 --> 00:20:45.190
this. Do you believe that if you was to bring

00:20:45.190 --> 00:20:47.829
in your coaching staff, that you guys would be

00:20:47.829 --> 00:20:50.289
able to turn this thing around? And then ask

00:20:50.289 --> 00:20:53.029
yourself this. How quickly can you turn this

00:20:53.029 --> 00:20:55.789
team around and how quickly can you start winning

00:20:55.789 --> 00:20:58.460
again? Now, I'm not saying you have one really

00:20:58.460 --> 00:21:01.240
good season where you're probably like 10 -4

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.480
or you make it to the second round in the playoffs

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.900
or whatever. No, I'm talking about consistently

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:11.720
winning year after year after year. Okay, now

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.000
let's talk about the Jets. So what went wrong

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.400
in their season? Inconsistent quarterback play,

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:19.420
a stagnant offense, and an inconsistent defense.

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:22.960
Now, when we look at the stats, okay? They had

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.700
the 28th ranked offense and they averaged 18

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:30.420
.3 points per game, 272 .4 yards per game, 4

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:34.160
.5 yards per play, and 25 touchdowns. Now, if

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.119
you break that down, they were dead last in passing

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.440
offense and they averaged 145 .8 passing yards

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.539
per game, 4 .4 passing yards per play, and 14

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:46.460
passing touchdowns. They were seventh in rushing

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:50.140
offense and they averaged 126 .7 rushing yards

00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:53.079
per game. 4 .7 rushing yards per play, and 11

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.519
rushing touchdowns. Now when we look over to

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.460
their defense, however, they were 23rd in the

00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:01.900
league and they allowed 29 .3 points per game,

00:22:02.099 --> 00:22:07.160
348 .4 yards per game, 5 .5 yards per play, and

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.599
51 touchdowns. They were 16th in pass defense

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.579
and they allowed 213 .4 passing yards per game,

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.940
6 .7 passing yards per play, and 32 passing touchdowns.

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:21.819
They were 27th in run defense and they allowed

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:26.359
135 rushing yards per game, 19 rushing touchdowns,

00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:29.680
and 4 .4 rushing yards per play. Now this is

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:31.859
how the Jets matched up statistically against

00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:34.920
the league, okay? So they were 29th in success

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.859
rate at 40 .5%. They were 29th in pass EPA at

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:44.380
negative 0 .182. They were 25th in rush EPA at

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:48.259
negative 0 .61. They were dead last in red zone

00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:52.299
touchdown rate at 38 .5%. They were dead last

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:56.640
in explosive pass play rate at 10 .4%. They were

00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.259
seventh in explosive run play rate at 12 .2%.

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:03.660
They were 28th in third down conversions at 34

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:07.420
.6%. And they were fourth in pressure rate faced

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:12.220
at 44 .9%. Now defensively, they were 30th in

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:16.369
pressure rate at 32 .8%. They were 28th in explosive

00:23:16.369 --> 00:23:21.210
pass play rate allowed at 18 .1%. They were 22nd

00:23:21.210 --> 00:23:24.569
in explosive run play rate allowed at 11 .9%.

00:23:24.569 --> 00:23:29.250
They were 14th in success rate at 43 .5%. They

00:23:29.250 --> 00:23:31.970
were 16th in passing yards allowed per game at

00:23:31.970 --> 00:23:37.170
211 .1%. They were 27th in rushing yards allowed

00:23:37.170 --> 00:23:41.470
per game at 127 .1%. And 30th in points allowed

00:23:41.470 --> 00:23:45.349
per game at 27 .5%. Now, with that being said,

00:23:45.390 --> 00:23:48.150
after reading all of those stats, we can all

00:23:48.150 --> 00:23:50.950
agree that on both sides of the ball, the Jets

00:23:50.950 --> 00:23:54.069
were just bad. Now, offensively, Justin Fields

00:23:54.069 --> 00:23:57.089
was just very inconsistent. Outside of that first

00:23:57.089 --> 00:24:00.630
week, it was just a never -ending rollercoaster

00:24:00.630 --> 00:24:02.549
with him. Now, if you pair that with Gary Wilson

00:24:02.549 --> 00:24:05.349
being inconsistent and the run game being the

00:24:05.349 --> 00:24:08.049
only bright spot on this offense, I don't know

00:24:08.049 --> 00:24:11.140
what else to tell you. Justin Fields is just

00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:13.200
not a good quarterback right now. Now, can you

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.579
blame that on the Bears? Yes. Can you blame that

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:19.039
on Pittsburgh? Somewhat. That's a deeper conversation

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.859
for another day. But the fact of the matter is

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:24.940
he's hurt his reputation more. And at this point,

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.519
if I'm Justin Fields, I'm looking for a backup

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.039
role. And I just want to learn. I want to refine

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.460
myself. I want to become a better passer. And

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:35.460
I just want to become a better quarterback overall.

00:24:36.309 --> 00:24:38.470
Now, defensively, I'm not really surprised because

00:24:38.470 --> 00:24:40.690
they've been inconsistent this entire season.

00:24:41.069 --> 00:24:43.470
There was never a point where the defense was

00:24:43.470 --> 00:24:45.849
just a little bit consistent for maybe like two

00:24:45.849 --> 00:24:48.549
to four weeks. It was one game they're playing

00:24:48.549 --> 00:24:50.849
really good. And then the next two or three games,

00:24:50.910 --> 00:24:52.829
they're just downright atrocious. And it just

00:24:52.829 --> 00:24:55.769
kept on happening week after week after week.

00:24:55.970 --> 00:24:57.890
And it also doesn't help that you trade away

00:24:57.890 --> 00:25:00.859
Quinton Williams and Sauce Gardner. Now, do I

00:25:00.859 --> 00:25:03.779
think this team is in a really bad spot and all

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:06.460
is lost and you just have to get rid of everything?

00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.799
No. You just have to continue to stack this team.

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:13.980
The offensive line is good. The run game is good

00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:16.140
as long as Brees Hall stays, which I don't think

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:17.319
he's going to stay. I think he's probably going

00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.660
to leave. But I think you can bring in another

00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:21.299
running back and I think everything will be fine.

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:23.400
But that's another story for another day, right?

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:26.500
I think you have pieces on this team. I just

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:28.700
think you have to find a way for everything to

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:31.440
fit. And I think once they find everything to

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:33.339
fit, I think they're going to be in a really

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:35.039
good spot. It's just going to take some time.

00:25:35.460 --> 00:25:37.940
You have to replace Quentin Williams' spot. You

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:40.500
have to replace Sauce Gardner's spot. You have

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:42.700
to find a better bridge quarterback than Justin

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:45.440
Fields. Now, all of this can be done, but it's

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.339
just going to take some time. Now, when we look

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:49.180
at their draft picks, you're going to have a

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:51.200
lot of them, all right? We all know you're going

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.039
to have two first round picks. We all know you're

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:54.460
going to have your second, your fourth, your

00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:56.099
fifth, your sixth, and your seventh. Now, you're

00:25:56.099 --> 00:25:57.720
going to have a little bit more depending on

00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.720
the comp picks, all right? Now, one move I would

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.539
do if I was the GM for the Jets is find a bridge

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:06.240
quarterback. And when I mean find one, I mean

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.799
find a bridge quarterback. Don't just go after

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.140
somebody because you like the oohs and ahhs.

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:13.279
Go after somebody that you know that can win

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.339
you a few games. You can get someone like a Jacoby

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:19.079
Brissett. Shoot, you could just give Tyrod Taylor

00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:23.220
an extension. Or you get Mack Jones or maybe

00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:25.259
Kirk Cousins if he wants to join the team and

00:26:25.259 --> 00:26:28.559
whatnot. You have options, okay? but you have

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.500
to find a competent bridge quarterback. Do not

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:34.019
try to trade up to try to get Fernando Mendoza.

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:36.279
You're gonna lose that battle. Instead, address

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.880
other positions of need on this team, and then

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:40.980
in 27, you go out and you get your franchise

00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:43.240
quarterback. And when we look at their cap space,

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.200
they're gonna have 99 .2 million, which isn't

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:48.799
bad at all. So you could be playmakers in free

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.640
agency, but it's gonna be very limited, okay?

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.079
Now, when we look at their free agents, Andre

00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:56.980
Sisco, Tyrod Taylor, John Simpson, Quincy Williams,

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:59.799
Elijah Vera Tucker, Tony Adams, Josh Reynolds,

00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:02.519
Isaiah Oliver, Brees Hall, John Meche, Chris

00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:05.579
Boyd, Stone Smart, Jelani Woods, just to name

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:07.799
a few. Now, you don't have any big ticket free

00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.599
agents, but I feel like you have enough free

00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.220
agents to where you don't have to sign them,

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:15.819
but if you value them a lot, then you can just

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:18.200
bring them back for the love. Just being honest

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.619
here, okay? Now let's talk about the Browns.

00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:23.559
So what went wrong in their season? Inconsistent

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:26.180
offensive play calling and execution, lack of

00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:28.740
offensive weapons, and not winning enough games.

00:27:28.900 --> 00:27:31.339
Pretty straightforward, right? So when we look

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:34.119
at their stats, they had the 30th ranked offense

00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.940
and they averaged 16 .2 points per game, 266

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:41.890
yards per game. 4 .4 yards per play, and 26 touchdowns.

00:27:41.890 --> 00:27:44.690
They were 29th in passing offense, and they averaged

00:27:44.690 --> 00:27:48.990
170 .3 passing yards per game, 4 .7 yards per

00:27:48.990 --> 00:27:52.250
play, and 16 passing touchdowns. They were 27th

00:27:52.250 --> 00:27:55.670
in rushing offense, and they averaged 95 .7 rushing

00:27:55.670 --> 00:27:58.349
yards per game, 3 .9 rushing yards per play,

00:27:58.430 --> 00:28:00.869
and 10 rushing touchdowns. Now, from a play calling

00:28:00.869 --> 00:28:04.089
perspective, Kevin Stefanski has nobody to blame

00:28:04.089 --> 00:28:07.269
but himself. Because there were points in games

00:28:07.269 --> 00:28:10.609
where you could have easily won the game, but

00:28:10.609 --> 00:28:13.210
you decided you wanted to make a boneheaded move.

00:28:13.470 --> 00:28:15.789
And a lot of times, it costed you that game.

00:28:15.910 --> 00:28:18.009
There was a point, and I forgot what game it

00:28:18.009 --> 00:28:20.670
was, where they kept on running the same play

00:28:20.670 --> 00:28:23.529
over and over again with Quenshawn Junkins as

00:28:23.529 --> 00:28:26.819
quarterback. Why? I don't know. So it's those

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:28.940
type of things that are going to cost you games.

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:31.539
And I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns fired

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:33.980
him this offseason because let's be honest here.

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:37.539
He hasn't done a good job this year. Now, I understand

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:40.900
everyone can, you know, have the conspiracy theory

00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:43.500
that, oh, he doesn't like Shador and all these

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:45.720
crazy. Shoot, there was even something where

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.700
someone trying to make a connection where his

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:53.900
wife is apparently. The daughter of the reporter

00:28:53.900 --> 00:28:56.839
who Deion Sanders threw water on like back in

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.660
the day or whatever. Something crazy, right?

00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.140
It didn't make any sense. But the fact of the

00:29:01.140 --> 00:29:03.859
matter is the play calling was very inconsistent.

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.359
And that's probably one of the reasons why they

00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.799
didn't win as many games. Now, from the execution

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.079
standpoint, you could put some blame on the quarterbacks.

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.990
But at the same time, they're rookies. My expectations

00:29:14.990 --> 00:29:17.609
for them are fairly low, but at the same time,

00:29:17.670 --> 00:29:19.930
they could have executed a few plays a little

00:29:19.930 --> 00:29:23.730
bit better. But we all know that after one offseason,

00:29:23.930 --> 00:29:26.250
they're going to be a whole lot better. Now,

00:29:26.289 --> 00:29:28.910
from the lack of weapons perspective, you have

00:29:28.910 --> 00:29:30.970
to blame that on the front office, okay? Harold

00:29:30.970 --> 00:29:32.970
Fannin Jr. has been probably one of your most

00:29:32.970 --> 00:29:35.450
productive offensive weapons outside of Jerry

00:29:35.450 --> 00:29:38.410
Judy. The offensive line has essentially aged

00:29:38.410 --> 00:29:41.470
out. Your running back room is fairly young.

00:29:41.609 --> 00:29:43.789
That's not a lot to really hang your hat on.

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.059
And they have a lot of things that they're going

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:48.160
to have to address in this offseason. You're

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:49.940
going to have to rebuild the offensive line.

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:51.880
You're going to have to bring in more weapons.

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:54.660
You're going to have to do different things just

00:29:54.660 --> 00:29:56.420
so you can make this team a little bit better

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:59.380
because... The defense isn't a problem. It's

00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:02.140
just the offense. If you can find some stability

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:05.559
with the offense, I guarantee you this team will

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:08.500
be in a better place next season. Now, if you

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:11.099
want to compare Shador's stats to all the other

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:13.420
quarterbacks in the league, here they are. He

00:30:13.420 --> 00:30:16.559
is 15th out of 40 quarterbacks specifically in

00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:19.640
passing yards. He is 35th in completion percentage.

00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:23.059
He is tied for dead last in passing touchdowns.

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:25.539
He is tied for the fourth most interceptions.

00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.700
He is tied. for 25th in yards per attempt, and

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:32.240
he's 35th in EPA per play. Now, can you blame

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.559
that on the lack of weapons that he has? Sure.

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:37.359
Can you blame that on the late calling? Sure.

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:39.200
Could you blame that on a plethora of different

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.019
things? Yes. But some of the things that Shador

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:44.859
did, he didn't need to do. The stuff where he's

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:46.980
trying to roll out of the pocket multiple times,

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:49.339
he don't need to do that. But at the same time,

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:51.960
I know that after one offseason, he's probably

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.059
not going to do that anymore. A lot of times

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:57.650
after that first offseason, players tend to drop

00:30:57.650 --> 00:30:59.670
bad habits. Now, if they continue on with those

00:30:59.670 --> 00:31:02.650
bad habits, hey, that's just you and the coaching

00:31:02.650 --> 00:31:05.069
staff that you deal with, okay? Now, the not

00:31:05.069 --> 00:31:07.210
winning enough games part, that's pretty self

00:31:07.210 --> 00:31:09.309
-explanatory. You just have to win more games.

00:31:09.369 --> 00:31:12.410
That's it. And honestly, that's more directed

00:31:12.410 --> 00:31:14.890
towards the offense to the defense because the

00:31:14.890 --> 00:31:17.089
defense has been holding their own this entire

00:31:17.089 --> 00:31:19.630
season. It's just the offense that are hit or

00:31:19.630 --> 00:31:22.569
miss sometimes. That's all. Now, what do they

00:31:22.569 --> 00:31:25.410
need at this point? Of course, more offensive

00:31:25.410 --> 00:31:28.569
weapons, a better O -line, and better play calling

00:31:28.569 --> 00:31:32.549
and execution. Now, do they stack or shed? I

00:31:32.549 --> 00:31:35.109
would venture to say stack. And the reason why

00:31:35.109 --> 00:31:37.829
I say that is because you have a foundation.

00:31:38.130 --> 00:31:40.690
And I think it's a foundation that you can build

00:31:40.690 --> 00:31:44.109
off of for the next few years or until you feel

00:31:44.109 --> 00:31:46.190
like you may want to take a quarterback in 27.

00:31:46.529 --> 00:31:48.109
Because I feel like that's what they're probably

00:31:48.109 --> 00:31:50.930
going to do. Now with the draft picks, all right,

00:31:50.930 --> 00:31:53.349
you have eight to nine draft picks. We all know

00:31:53.349 --> 00:31:55.589
you have two first round picks. You have a second,

00:31:55.690 --> 00:31:58.130
a third, a fourth. You have three fifth round

00:31:58.130 --> 00:32:00.670
picks. You have a sixth and two seventh round

00:32:00.670 --> 00:32:03.170
picks. You have a pretty good amount of draft

00:32:03.170 --> 00:32:05.289
picks that you can use to really build this team

00:32:05.289 --> 00:32:08.029
out. So you could address the offensive line

00:32:08.029 --> 00:32:10.390
with two or three picks. You can get a few weapons.

00:32:10.529 --> 00:32:12.769
You can do a plethora of different things. Now

00:32:12.769 --> 00:32:14.890
one move I would do, now this may be controversial,

00:32:15.069 --> 00:32:17.309
but just walk with me, all right. The one move

00:32:17.309 --> 00:32:20.710
I would do. It surrounds Shador with a competent

00:32:20.710 --> 00:32:22.970
offense. Now, I know that's very controversial.

00:32:23.269 --> 00:32:25.650
You probably stopped listening to this. Thank

00:32:25.650 --> 00:32:28.289
you for listening, okay? But just walk with me

00:32:28.289 --> 00:32:32.089
for a moment, honestly. I think Shador Sanders

00:32:32.089 --> 00:32:34.690
has shown enough that you have to ride with him.

00:32:34.970 --> 00:32:37.089
I understand Dylan Gabriel showed you a little

00:32:37.089 --> 00:32:39.789
bit of promise, but there's something in Shador

00:32:39.789 --> 00:32:42.450
that you just have to give him a chance. Because

00:32:42.450 --> 00:32:45.109
let's be honest here, the only reason why he

00:32:45.109 --> 00:32:48.529
fell was because of his mouth. If him and Deion

00:32:48.529 --> 00:32:50.950
Sanders didn't say anything, he would have been

00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:52.789
drafted in the first round guaranteed. Because

00:32:52.789 --> 00:32:55.009
there were teams that had him on their board.

00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:57.859
But because they said, oh, we're not going to

00:32:57.859 --> 00:33:00.579
go to this team or, oh, we're only taking interviews

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:02.960
if you're drafted at this point and whatnot,

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.880
everybody was turned off. And they wanted to

00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.700
prove that, listen, you are not bigger than the

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:11.660
Shield. The Shield will always be bigger than

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:14.619
any other player, whoever you are, whatever your

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:17.359
accolades are, whatever your last name is. Now,

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:19.680
with that being said, yes, you still want to

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.710
keep Dylan Gabriel, of course. But if you believe

00:33:22.710 --> 00:33:25.049
that Shador Sanders is going to take this team

00:33:25.049 --> 00:33:28.170
to the next level, roll with it. But if you don't

00:33:28.170 --> 00:33:31.309
believe it, in 27, whatever you need to do, you

00:33:31.309 --> 00:33:34.329
trade up or you tank or whatever it is, and you

00:33:34.329 --> 00:33:36.170
get your quarterback, whether that be Archie

00:33:36.170 --> 00:33:38.970
or Lenore Sellers or whomever. Now, when we look

00:33:38.970 --> 00:33:42.380
at their cap space, 5 .4 million. Yes, I know

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:44.200
that's not a lot, but they can do some restructures,

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.559
move some money around, cut some people, trade

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:48.180
some people, and they'll probably have some cap

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:50.220
space. Because they've been doing this for, I

00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:52.019
don't know how many years now, with Deshaun Watson's

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:54.240
contract. And when we look at their free agents,

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.319
Joel Betonio, Wyatt Teller, David Njoku, Cam

00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.140
Robinson, Ethan Pokich, Shelby Harris, Devin

00:34:00.140 --> 00:34:02.920
Bush, Tevin Jenkins, Jerome Ford, DeAndre Carter,

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:05.960
Jerome Bakerson, Rashawn Jenkins, Martin Emerson,

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:08.820
Cam Thomas, Kendrick Green. Now, out of all those

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:11.530
people I just listed, I'm only bringing back

00:34:11.530 --> 00:34:14.590
a handful. Tevin Jenkins comes to mind, Devin

00:34:14.590 --> 00:34:18.050
Bush, Shelby Harris, maybe Jerome Ford, maybe

00:34:18.050 --> 00:34:21.750
David Njoku. But outside of them, everybody else

00:34:21.750 --> 00:34:24.809
can just go. Test your market. If you go to another

00:34:24.809 --> 00:34:27.130
team, okay, cool. If you come back, okay, cool.

00:34:27.210 --> 00:34:29.550
That's it. Because let's be honest here. With

00:34:29.550 --> 00:34:31.590
multiple players on the defense making a lot

00:34:31.590 --> 00:34:33.820
of money, you want the offense to be cheap. And

00:34:33.820 --> 00:34:36.440
the reason why I say that is because take a page

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.019
out of the Eagles playbook, right? They've invested

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:41.559
a lot of money into the offense, but what do

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.420
they do with the defense? They kept it cheap.

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:45.719
They haven't invested a lot of money into it.

00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:47.940
Now, I understand that they have to pay Jordan

00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:50.400
Davis soon and Jalen Carter and this person,

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.920
that person, but out of all those people that

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:54.940
they're going to pay, are they really going to

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:58.539
pay the market value? Most likely not. Some of

00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:00.300
them, they're probably going to get traded. Some

00:35:00.300 --> 00:35:01.480
of them, they're probably just going to let them

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:04.750
walk. So I would do that exact same thing if

00:35:04.750 --> 00:35:07.730
I'm the Browns. Surround Shador Sanders or whoever

00:35:07.730 --> 00:35:10.050
the quarterback is going to be with young, cheap

00:35:10.050 --> 00:35:13.750
talent and just let them grow. Because the defense

00:35:13.750 --> 00:35:15.489
is going to be the reason why you're going to

00:35:15.489 --> 00:35:17.969
continue to win games and possibly go on a playoff

00:35:17.969 --> 00:35:21.289
run. The offense is just there to maintain whatever

00:35:21.289 --> 00:35:24.130
lead that you have. Now, I know I could be wrong,

00:35:24.230 --> 00:35:26.619
but... That's just how I view things. Now let's

00:35:26.619 --> 00:35:28.659
go to the Bengals. So what went wrong in their

00:35:28.659 --> 00:35:31.199
season? Bad roster construction, the lack of

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:33.699
defensive playmakers and execution, and inconsistent

00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:36.619
offensive play. Now when we look at their stats,

00:35:36.739 --> 00:35:39.159
okay, they had the worst defense in the entire

00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.900
league, and they allowed 29 .5 points per game,

00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:46.579
392 .2 yards per game, 6 .3 yards per play, and

00:35:46.579 --> 00:35:50.059
51 touchdowns. They were 27th in pass defense

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:53.559
and they allowed 243 .3 passing yards per game,

00:35:53.699 --> 00:35:57.300
7 .2 passing yards per play, and 33 passing touchdowns.

00:35:57.300 --> 00:35:59.960
They were dead last in run defense and they allowed

00:35:59.960 --> 00:36:04.300
148 .9 rushing yards per game, 5 .2 rushing yards

00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:06.699
per play, and 18 rushing touchdowns. Now, are

00:36:06.699 --> 00:36:10.110
we surprised at these stats? No. Because they

00:36:10.110 --> 00:36:12.190
don't have Sam Hubbard, they don't have Trey

00:36:12.190 --> 00:36:14.429
Hendrickson, and they don't have a lot of playmakers

00:36:14.429 --> 00:36:17.150
on that side of the ball. DJ Turner is probably

00:36:17.150 --> 00:36:20.230
the only bright spot on that defense. Outside

00:36:20.230 --> 00:36:22.909
of him, who else can you say is a playmaker?

00:36:23.150 --> 00:36:25.750
Miles Murphy? Jamar Stewart? You know, the person

00:36:25.750 --> 00:36:28.090
that held out the entire offseason for a contract

00:36:28.090 --> 00:36:30.710
and then finally gave in? No. Demetrius Knight?

00:36:30.969 --> 00:36:33.679
No. Who else? But this is what happens when you

00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.059
allocate the money the wrong way. I understand

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:38.420
that your three best players are on the offense,

00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:40.760
but at the same time, you still have the defense.

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:43.360
You still got to put some money there. And you

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.019
didn't do enough on the defensive side. And clearly

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:48.280
it shows statistically. Better yet, let's go

00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:50.500
a little bit deeper, okay? They allowed the most

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:54.360
total yards per game at 392 .2. They allowed

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:57.679
the most passing yards per game at 254. They

00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.500
allowed the most rushing yards per game at 148

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:03.440
.9. They allowed the worst explosive pass play

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.639
rate at 20 .1%. And they allowed the worst run

00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:09.840
play rate at 13%. I'm sorry here, folks. The

00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.199
stats say it all. That defense is historically

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:16.559
bad. And I understand they had some spurts when

00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:18.139
they were playing some really good ball and they

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:19.980
were doing their thing. I know the Steelers game,

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:21.400
we're not going to talk about that, right? But

00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.840
the fact of the matter is this. If you're the

00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:26.840
Bengals, you have to start making some investments

00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.400
into the defense. Because if you don't, guess

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:31.239
what's going to happen? Joel Burrow is basically

00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.099
going to throw his arm out every single season

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:36.699
just so you guys can win five or six games. Now,

00:37:36.739 --> 00:37:38.519
that doesn't mean you have to invest a lot of

00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:40.559
money into that side. You can keep it cheap by

00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:42.460
just start hitting on your defensive draft picks.

00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:45.059
That's it. Now, here's the crazy thing. The Bengals

00:37:45.059 --> 00:37:47.900
defense actually did better without Trey Henderson

00:37:47.900 --> 00:37:50.639
this year. You don't believe me? Here are the

00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:53.800
stats. They were four and five without Trey Henderson,

00:37:54.019 --> 00:37:59.110
and they allowed 27 .8 points per game. 378 .7

00:37:59.110 --> 00:38:02.769
total yards per game, 245 .2 passing yards per

00:38:02.769 --> 00:38:06.190
game, 146 rushing yards per game. They had two

00:38:06.190 --> 00:38:09.769
sacks and a 59 .7 defensive success rate. Now

00:38:09.769 --> 00:38:11.730
with Trey Hendrickson, they were two and five

00:38:11.730 --> 00:38:16.030
and they allowed 31 .7 points per game, 409 .6

00:38:16.030 --> 00:38:19.670
total yards per game, 265 .3 passing yards per

00:38:19.670 --> 00:38:23.789
game, 152 .6 rushing yards per game. They averaged

00:38:23.789 --> 00:38:26.590
one and a half sacks a game, 12 .1 pressure.

00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.780
per game and a 55 .1 defensive success rate,

00:38:29.860 --> 00:38:32.820
which is promising, but there's still room for

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:34.780
growth. Now let's shift things over to the offense,

00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:37.500
okay? Here are some stats that show the Bengals

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:40.019
offense with Joe Burrow and without Joe Burrow.

00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.420
Now with Joe Burrow, they were 5 -2 and they

00:38:42.420 --> 00:38:46.260
averaged 28 points per game, 335 yards per game,

00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:50.099
87 rushing yards per game, a 44 .7 % success

00:38:50.099 --> 00:38:53.760
rate, a 58 .6 pass play percentage, and a 26

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:56.599
.6 red zone touchdown percentage. which isn't

00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:58.880
bad. But here's the stats for the Bengals offense

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.860
under Joe Flacco. So the record was four and

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:04.860
five, and they averaged 29 .1 points per game,

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:10.280
356 .9 yards per game, 267 .2 passing yards per

00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:14.340
game, 102 .2 rushing yards per game, a 47 .7

00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:17.960
success rate, and a 62 .5 % pass play percentage,

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.920
as well as a 26 .7 % red zone touchdown percentage.

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:24.239
Now, I know a lot of Bengals fans are a little

00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.039
butthurt right now with all the stats I just

00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:28.940
read. But the fact of the matter is this. You

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:31.920
can make a strong point to keep Joe Flacco just

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:34.980
in case Joe Burrow gets hurt again. Because I

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:37.599
would venture to say, if you keep Joe Flacco,

00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:39.840
this team will stay afloat. We saw what he did

00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:42.039
with the Browns. We saw what he did with the

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:44.260
Bengals when he first got there those first maybe

00:39:44.260 --> 00:39:46.920
three or four weeks. Hell, we saw what he did

00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:49.599
against the Steelers on Thursday night. You don't

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:51.219
think that's promising? You don't want that as

00:39:51.219 --> 00:39:53.369
your backup? If it was me personally, I would

00:39:53.369 --> 00:39:55.210
give Joe Flacco 10 million just to sit on the

00:39:55.210 --> 00:39:56.570
bench. And I know that's a little bit excessive,

00:39:56.769 --> 00:39:59.730
but he has something that can't be taught. And

00:39:59.730 --> 00:40:02.429
that's experience. And I think with his experience,

00:40:02.730 --> 00:40:04.769
I think it'll make someone like a Joe Burrow

00:40:04.769 --> 00:40:06.530
a whole lot better. Not saying that Joe Burrow

00:40:06.530 --> 00:40:09.769
is bad. Bengals fans, don't come in my DMs. Don't

00:40:09.769 --> 00:40:11.250
come in the comments and say, oh, you don't know

00:40:11.250 --> 00:40:13.900
anything about football. No, just listen to me,

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:16.420
okay? When you look at that generation of quarterbacks,

00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:18.900
right? The pace of the game for them is completely

00:40:18.900 --> 00:40:21.280
different. The way that they're able to manipulate

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.119
defenses is completely different. The knowledge

00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:26.739
that they have against different defensive coverages

00:40:26.739 --> 00:40:28.920
and different defensive coordinators and whatnot.

00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.260
I would pay a boatload of money just to have

00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:34.559
someone like that on my team because that can

00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:36.900
help you with the preparation for a lot of games.

00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:39.559
Now, with that being said, we have to talk about

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:41.639
the run game because this is just my personal

00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:43.679
opinion. I could be completely wrong, but ever

00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.199
since Joe Mixon left the Bengals, their run game

00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:48.659
really hasn't been the same. Like when Joe Mixon

00:40:48.659 --> 00:40:51.139
was with the Bengals, that was another person

00:40:51.139 --> 00:40:53.219
that you had to worry about, not only in the

00:40:53.219 --> 00:40:55.760
rushing game, but in the receiving game as well.

00:40:55.900 --> 00:40:58.769
And since his departure, I mean, sure, you have

00:40:58.769 --> 00:41:01.130
Chase Brown. He's done a good job. Sure, you've

00:41:01.130 --> 00:41:03.989
had Samaj P. Ryan. Sure, you've had Taj Brooks.

00:41:04.230 --> 00:41:06.650
You know, you've had different people, but they

00:41:06.650 --> 00:41:08.969
don't replace what Joe Mixon did. So I decided

00:41:08.969 --> 00:41:11.550
to compare the stats of Joe Mixon's last year

00:41:11.550 --> 00:41:14.190
with Chase Brown, Samaj P. Ryan, and Taj Brooks.

00:41:14.670 --> 00:41:17.980
So Chase Brown this year. 219 rushing attempts

00:41:17.980 --> 00:41:21.300
for 947 rushing yards, 4 .3 rushing yards per

00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:23.880
carry, and 6 rushing touchdowns. Tomaje Piran,

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:27.360
76 rushing attempts for 340 rushing yards, 4

00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:30.199
.5 rushing yards per carry, and 3 rushing touchdowns.

00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:33.679
Taj Brooks, 16 rushing attempts for 45 rushing

00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:37.159
yards and 2 .8 rushing yards per carry. Joe Mixon's

00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:41.920
last year. 257 rushing attempts for 1 ,034 rushing

00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:45.000
yards, nine rushing touchdowns, and had 4 .1

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:46.880
rushing yards per carry. The proof is in the

00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:49.599
pudding here, folks. They missed Joe Mixon. Now,

00:41:49.619 --> 00:41:51.619
I understand that Joe Mixon is a different running

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:53.699
back than those three running backs, but what

00:41:53.699 --> 00:41:56.219
I'm trying to get at is that the Bengals need

00:41:56.219 --> 00:41:58.079
to get back to having a really good run game.

00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:00.119
And the reason why I say that is because that

00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:03.320
eliminates Joe Burrow having to drop back 35,

00:42:03.619 --> 00:42:07.219
45, maybe even 50 times a game just to put up

00:42:07.219 --> 00:42:11.489
25 or 26 or 32 points. I think if the run game

00:42:11.489 --> 00:42:13.909
is good, you can control the pace of the game,

00:42:14.030 --> 00:42:16.769
control the time of possession game, and you're

00:42:16.769 --> 00:42:19.510
able to wear down on defenses. But if you continue

00:42:19.510 --> 00:42:22.550
to just throw darts at Jamar Chase and Mike Gusecki

00:42:22.550 --> 00:42:24.710
and Tee Higgins, the defense ain't going to get

00:42:24.710 --> 00:42:26.710
tired. You're going to get tired because every

00:42:26.710 --> 00:42:29.170
single time that you score, your defense isn't

00:42:29.170 --> 00:42:30.829
going to do anything and you have to go right

00:42:30.829 --> 00:42:33.519
back on the field. You don't believe me? Look

00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:35.719
up the stats. Now, what do they need to do? For

00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:37.440
starters, you have to start drafting better.

00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:39.559
And I'm talking about on offense and defense.

00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:42.579
And the reason why I say that is because as long

00:42:42.579 --> 00:42:44.860
as you're paying Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and

00:42:44.860 --> 00:42:47.369
Tee Higgins all that money, You have to make

00:42:47.369 --> 00:42:50.050
everything else cheap. And I think as long as

00:42:50.050 --> 00:42:51.909
you do that, you're going to see the fruits of

00:42:51.909 --> 00:42:54.849
your labor compared to just keeping those three

00:42:54.849 --> 00:42:56.570
and just saying, oh, as long as we got those

00:42:56.570 --> 00:42:58.429
three, everything's going to be fine. They're

00:42:58.429 --> 00:43:00.010
going to be the reason why we go to the Super

00:43:00.010 --> 00:43:01.789
Bowl. They're going to be the reason why we're

00:43:01.789 --> 00:43:03.289
going to have this dominant team for the next

00:43:03.289 --> 00:43:05.730
five to 10 years. No, you're not. You're not

00:43:05.730 --> 00:43:07.449
going to go anywhere. The next thing the Bengals

00:43:07.449 --> 00:43:09.929
need to do is find a new head coach. Granted,

00:43:09.969 --> 00:43:11.789
I understand they went to the Super Bowl with

00:43:11.789 --> 00:43:14.389
Zach Taylor. They went to multiple AFC championships

00:43:14.389 --> 00:43:16.579
with Zach Taylor, but... Right now, it would

00:43:16.579 --> 00:43:18.960
be best for both parties to just go their separate

00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:22.119
ways. Because what they have right now is not

00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.300
successful. And honestly, you're going to be

00:43:24.300 --> 00:43:26.760
the scapegoat, bro. So just go somewhere where

00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:29.119
you can maximize your potential instead of staying

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.119
with this crappy team and this crappy organization

00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:33.780
and this crappy ownership group. I'm just being

00:43:33.780 --> 00:43:37.420
honest here. I understand that Zack Taylor gets

00:43:37.420 --> 00:43:40.360
a lot of flack. But we also need to direct a

00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:42.579
lot of that smoke to the ownership and to the

00:43:42.579 --> 00:43:45.739
front office of the Bengals. Because year after

00:43:45.739 --> 00:43:48.280
year after year, they continue to neglect the

00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:50.360
needs of this team and they continue to take

00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:53.300
the cheap way out. At some point, this isn't

00:43:53.300 --> 00:43:55.559
going to work. And at some point, people are

00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.039
going to want to leave. You can already start

00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.599
to feel that Joe Burrow maybe wants a new change

00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:03.599
of scenery. Now, am I saying he's going to just

00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.960
flat out request a trade this offseason? No.

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:08.800
But I wouldn't be surprised if he's thought about

00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:11.820
it. Because think about it. I'm on a team that's

00:44:11.820 --> 00:44:14.039
not going to go anywhere. Trey Henderson is going

00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:16.840
to leave. The one time that I was actually outspoken

00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:19.559
about the organization, they gave me what I want,

00:44:19.659 --> 00:44:21.860
but at the same time, it came at the cost of

00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:24.940
me not showing up, me being hurt again, and us

00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:27.460
missing the playoffs again. So at some point,

00:44:27.500 --> 00:44:30.639
you just need to just admit it. This whole experiment

00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:33.800
is a failure. It was nice in those first two

00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:35.900
or three years where they actually had a defense

00:44:35.900 --> 00:44:38.659
and, you know, the league didn't have an answer

00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:40.699
for Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow.

00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:44.139
It was nice. But guess what? Everybody has caught

00:44:44.139 --> 00:44:46.260
up to them. Everybody knows how to beat them.

00:44:46.460 --> 00:44:48.780
Let's just be honest, all right? Now, the question

00:44:48.780 --> 00:44:52.139
is this. Do they stack or do they shed? And I

00:44:52.139 --> 00:44:54.619
would venture to say stack. Now, I know it's

00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:57.179
probably not the best option, but at this point,

00:44:57.260 --> 00:45:00.199
you just have to stack with what you have. Granted,

00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.519
you have your quarterback, which is great. You

00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:05.880
have weapons. All you need to do is just finish

00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:08.260
what you started. Invest into the interior offensive

00:45:08.260 --> 00:45:11.159
line. maybe get you another running back if you

00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:12.940
want to do that. And the rest of those draft

00:45:12.940 --> 00:45:16.260
picks, flood it with the defense. Whatever hole

00:45:16.260 --> 00:45:18.780
that you have on the defense, use all those picks

00:45:18.780 --> 00:45:21.539
for them. Now, granted, you have six draft picks,

00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:22.980
all right? You have your first, your second,

00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:24.619
your third, your fourth. You don't have a fifth.

00:45:24.739 --> 00:45:26.480
You have a sixth and a seventh. Now, you can

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:28.599
do something with that. Now, the question is

00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:31.739
this. What is going to be your priority? Is it

00:45:31.739 --> 00:45:33.360
going to be the defense because there's a lot

00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:35.969
of good prospects on that side of the ball? Or

00:45:35.969 --> 00:45:37.150
are you going to do something with the offense?

00:45:37.409 --> 00:45:39.369
Or are you going to trade down? They have options.

00:45:40.030 --> 00:45:42.389
The question is, are they going to make the right

00:45:42.389 --> 00:45:44.630
decision? Because it is the Bengals, folks. Now,

00:45:44.650 --> 00:45:47.150
one move I would do if I was the Bengals GM is

00:45:47.150 --> 00:45:49.889
draft a defensive player, specifically an edge

00:45:49.889 --> 00:45:52.190
rusher. And the reason why I say that is because

00:45:52.190 --> 00:45:55.010
Trey Henderson isn't coming back. Sam Hubbard

00:45:55.010 --> 00:45:57.929
has retired. You need somebody to pair with Shamar

00:45:57.929 --> 00:45:59.949
Stewart. Now, you can get David Bailey. You can

00:45:59.949 --> 00:46:03.130
get Arvel Reese. You can get Mason Thomas. You

00:46:03.130 --> 00:46:05.710
get Peter Woods if you wanted to. You have options.

00:46:06.030 --> 00:46:08.389
And I would rather for this organization to invest

00:46:08.389 --> 00:46:11.070
into another pass rusher than to go after a corner

00:46:11.070 --> 00:46:14.070
or safety or inside linebacker because guess

00:46:14.070 --> 00:46:16.369
what? That pass rusher would be the reason why

00:46:16.369 --> 00:46:18.170
that quarterback thinks twice before they hike

00:46:18.170 --> 00:46:20.289
the ball. That pass rusher could be the reason

00:46:20.289 --> 00:46:22.769
why they sealed the game. So for all the people

00:46:22.769 --> 00:46:25.139
that are saying, oh, go. after caleb downs or

00:46:25.139 --> 00:46:28.860
go after this corner go after this inside linebacker

00:46:28.860 --> 00:46:32.920
stop it get your pass rusher shut up and with

00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:35.320
that being said they're going to have 77 .8 million

00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:37.079
in cash space which is really good now they could

00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:39.059
probably have more if they restructure some people's

00:46:39.059 --> 00:46:40.719
deals move some money around cut a few people

00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:42.559
whatnot you already know but when we look at

00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:44.809
their free agents Of course, Trey Hendrickson,

00:46:44.969 --> 00:46:47.909
Joseph Asai, Ted Karras, Geno Stone, Joe Flacco,

00:46:47.989 --> 00:46:50.570
Noah Fant, Cam Taylor Britt, Dalton Reisner,

00:46:50.650 --> 00:46:53.550
Tanner Hudson, Cameron Sample, Isaiah Foskey,

00:46:53.630 --> 00:46:56.150
just to name a few, right? Now, out of all those

00:46:56.150 --> 00:46:58.210
people, who do you think the Bengals are going

00:46:58.210 --> 00:47:00.449
to bring back? It's not going to be Trey Hendrickson.

00:47:00.550 --> 00:47:03.989
It may not be Joseph Asai. Maybe Cam Taylor Britt,

00:47:04.070 --> 00:47:05.610
but I think he'll probably test free agency.

00:47:05.909 --> 00:47:08.750
Joe Flacco? Maybe Noah Fant? I don't know, but

00:47:08.750 --> 00:47:11.070
only time will tell. So let's talk about the

00:47:11.070 --> 00:47:14.559
Chiefs. Yes. The Chiefs. I know everybody wants

00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.179
to talk about the Chiefs. Oh, is the era over?

00:47:17.300 --> 00:47:19.139
And I understand I was one of those people that

00:47:19.139 --> 00:47:21.840
said, yeah, the era is over for the Chiefs. They're

00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:23.739
not going to win any more Super Bowls. But I

00:47:23.739 --> 00:47:25.980
had to take a step back just to rethink what

00:47:25.980 --> 00:47:27.780
I said. And we're going to talk about that. All

00:47:27.780 --> 00:47:30.199
right. So what went wrong in their season? Lack

00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:32.860
of creativity, inconsistent offense and defense,

00:47:33.059 --> 00:47:35.159
and a lack of talent. Now when we look at their

00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:38.039
season so far, they had the 17th ranked offense

00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:41.320
and they averaged 21 .9 points per game, 330

00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:44.920
.2 yards per game, 5 .3 yards per play, and 38

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:47.639
touchdowns. They were 13th in passing offense

00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.320
and they averaged 222 .2 passing yards per game,

00:47:51.460 --> 00:47:54.579
6 passing yards per play, and 23 passing touchdowns.

00:47:54.579 --> 00:47:57.380
They were 23rd in rushing offense and they averaged

00:47:57.380 --> 00:48:00.840
108 rushing yards per game, 4 .2 rushing yards

00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:04.420
per play, and 15 rushing touchdowns. Now, defensively,

00:48:04.420 --> 00:48:06.659
they had the 10th ranked defense and they allowed.

00:48:07.150 --> 00:48:11.690
19 .6 points per game 307 .6 yards per game 5

00:48:11.690 --> 00:48:14.670
.3 yards per play and 32 touchdowns they were

00:48:14.670 --> 00:48:17.809
13th in passing defense and they allowed 202

00:48:17.809 --> 00:48:20.889
.7 passing yards per game 6 .3 passing yards

00:48:20.889 --> 00:48:23.449
per play and 18 passing touchdowns they were

00:48:23.449 --> 00:48:26.250
10th in rushing defense and they allowed 104

00:48:26.250 --> 00:48:29.269
.9 rushing yards per game 4 rushing yards per

00:48:29.269 --> 00:48:32.090
play and 14 rushing touchdowns so with that being

00:48:32.090 --> 00:48:34.610
said let's be honest here over the last few years

00:48:34.610 --> 00:48:37.730
we have started to see a decline in the Chiefs,

00:48:37.730 --> 00:48:40.170
specifically from a talent standpoint. And the

00:48:40.170 --> 00:48:43.050
reason why I say that is because once they traded

00:48:43.050 --> 00:48:45.730
away Tyreek Hill, nobody else has really stepped

00:48:45.730 --> 00:48:47.829
up. Sure, Travis Kelsey is their most reliable

00:48:47.829 --> 00:48:50.869
weapon, but outside of him, who else is taking

00:48:50.869 --> 00:48:53.809
that next step? Is it Rasheed Rice? Is it Xavier

00:48:53.809 --> 00:48:56.730
Worthy? Is it Juju Smith -Schuster? Is it Isaiah

00:48:56.730 --> 00:48:59.510
Pacheco? And the answer is nobody. Let's be honest

00:48:59.510 --> 00:49:02.099
here, okay? Even if they don't have the receivers,

00:49:02.420 --> 00:49:05.280
the one thing that the Chiefs offense can always

00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:07.900
rely on is the run game. And this year, that

00:49:07.900 --> 00:49:10.280
run game was non -existent. Now sure, we can

00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:13.280
point fingers at Andy Reid or Matt Nagy or Patrick

00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:15.400
Mahomes or this person or that person or the

00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.840
janitor that only cleans the third floor on the

00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:20.460
left side, but the fact of the matter is this.

00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:24.019
In order for the Chiefs to go back to being dominant,

00:49:24.219 --> 00:49:27.019
they have to start hitting on their draft picks.

00:49:27.550 --> 00:49:30.309
It's time out for going after these shifty small

00:49:30.309 --> 00:49:32.909
wide receivers. You need to start bringing in

00:49:32.909 --> 00:49:36.050
some big body receivers that are good with contested

00:49:36.050 --> 00:49:39.110
catches. I understand that the whole move with

00:49:39.110 --> 00:49:43.010
Tyreek Hill and McCole Hardman and Sammy Watkins

00:49:43.010 --> 00:49:45.469
and this person, that person was cool, but guess

00:49:45.469 --> 00:49:47.690
what? That time has passed. You need to start

00:49:47.690 --> 00:49:49.889
bringing in some big dudes. You need to start

00:49:49.889 --> 00:49:52.210
going after someone like a George Pickens, someone

00:49:52.210 --> 00:49:54.369
like a DK Metcalf. Those are going to be the

00:49:54.369 --> 00:49:56.030
type of receivers that are going to hold up the

00:49:56.030 --> 00:49:58.389
entire season instead of going after that small,

00:49:58.469 --> 00:50:01.130
shifty receiver that can run a 4 -2. You drafted

00:50:01.130 --> 00:50:03.110
one in the first round with Xavier Worthy. What

00:50:03.110 --> 00:50:05.070
has he done? Has he taken that next step that

00:50:05.070 --> 00:50:06.869
you can feel comfortable in saying that he's

00:50:06.869 --> 00:50:09.110
the number one wide receiver? I don't think so.

00:50:09.420 --> 00:50:10.960
I would venture to say he's probably wide receiver

00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:13.440
too in my book. Can you rely on Juju at this

00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:15.940
point? No, you can't. So at some point, they

00:50:15.940 --> 00:50:19.099
have to do something if they want to remain competitive.

00:50:19.380 --> 00:50:20.739
Now, am I saying they're going to have to go

00:50:20.739 --> 00:50:23.699
through this multi -year rebuild and get rid

00:50:23.699 --> 00:50:25.619
of this person, that person, even though I said

00:50:25.619 --> 00:50:27.820
it on the podcast and I'm sorry for that? No,

00:50:27.820 --> 00:50:30.099
they don't. Instead, you need to invest young

00:50:30.099 --> 00:50:32.239
and cheap talent into this team, especially on

00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:34.909
the defense. There's a chance that the Chiefs

00:50:34.909 --> 00:50:37.289
may lose Trent McDuffie in free agency. What

00:50:37.289 --> 00:50:39.969
is your contingency plan if that happens? Are

00:50:39.969 --> 00:50:42.010
you comfortable with Chris Jones right now? Are

00:50:42.010 --> 00:50:44.030
you comfortable with George Karloftis right now?

00:50:44.130 --> 00:50:46.559
Because let's be honest here. If somebody called

00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:48.159
for Chris Jones and they're willing to give up

00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:49.780
a first round pick for him, you're not going

00:50:49.780 --> 00:50:52.059
to take that call? If somebody calls for George

00:50:52.059 --> 00:50:53.599
Kaloftis and they're saying we're willing to

00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:55.699
give up a second and maybe a really good player

00:50:55.699 --> 00:50:57.320
for him, you're not going to take that call?

00:50:57.460 --> 00:51:00.340
Because I would. Because at this point, you need

00:51:00.340 --> 00:51:03.420
to surround the star with young and cheap talent.

00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:05.559
That's the only way this thing is going to work.

00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:07.980
Now, granted, next year's draft class is very

00:51:07.980 --> 00:51:10.480
promising with Patch Rusher. So technically speaking,

00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:12.639
you could go and get your replacement next year.

00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:14.360
Now, am I saying he's going to have the same

00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:17.079
impact? of Chris Jones? No. But what I am saying

00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:19.800
is this. If you want to move off of him, next

00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:21.860
year is the year to do it. Now, with that being

00:51:21.860 --> 00:51:23.780
said, I think we can all agree that the Chiefs

00:51:23.780 --> 00:51:25.639
are going to stack. And the reason why I say

00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:28.179
that is because the foundation is still intact.

00:51:28.619 --> 00:51:31.119
It's just you have to continue to build off of

00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:33.880
it. And sure, that may take some time, but that's

00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:36.400
okay. I think if you're down for like two or

00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:38.840
three years, but then you're back up for another

00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:41.219
five or six years, who's really complaining?

00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:43.989
Hell, the Patriots did it. There was a point

00:51:43.989 --> 00:51:46.070
in time where the Patriots were not going to

00:51:46.070 --> 00:51:48.550
the AFC Championship, let alone Super Bowls,

00:51:48.550 --> 00:51:51.489
for a period of time. It happens. It's a natural

00:51:51.489 --> 00:51:54.570
cycle. But the question is this. What are you

00:51:54.570 --> 00:51:56.809
going to do in that moment? Are you really going

00:51:56.809 --> 00:51:59.170
to start hitting on your draft picks? Are you

00:51:59.170 --> 00:52:01.489
going to refine yourself? Are you going to find

00:52:01.489 --> 00:52:04.530
that edge? Because at this point, and this is

00:52:04.530 --> 00:52:06.989
no shot at Andy Reid, but I think his offense

00:52:06.989 --> 00:52:09.929
has lost that edge, that juice, that creativity

00:52:09.929 --> 00:52:12.809
that we love seeing year after year after year.

00:52:13.449 --> 00:52:16.110
Now, am I saying that Andy Reid is washed? No.

00:52:16.630 --> 00:52:20.489
But whatever he needs to do, do it. Find that

00:52:20.489 --> 00:52:23.869
edge. Find that creativity that gave you an advantage

00:52:23.869 --> 00:52:26.349
over every single defense that you went up against.

00:52:26.789 --> 00:52:28.630
Because that's the only way that you're going

00:52:28.630 --> 00:52:30.960
to go back to being on the mountaintop. Now,

00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:32.280
with that being said, you're going to have six

00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:34.119
draft picks. You're going to have your first,

00:52:34.219 --> 00:52:35.960
your second, your third, your fourth, and two

00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:38.960
fifth round picks. Not bad. Sure, you can have

00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:41.500
a little bit more, but it is what it is. Now,

00:52:41.539 --> 00:52:44.380
the one move I would do, and Steelers fans, this

00:52:44.380 --> 00:52:46.559
is very controversial, and Chiefs fans, this

00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:49.139
is very controversial. So hear me out. I'm trading

00:52:49.139 --> 00:52:52.260
for Pat Fryer move. I'm just going to let that

00:52:52.260 --> 00:52:54.460
breathe for a moment. Good? Everybody's done

00:52:54.460 --> 00:52:57.039
saying oohs and ahs? All right, cool. Good. And

00:52:57.039 --> 00:52:59.960
the reason why I say that is because The Steelers

00:52:59.960 --> 00:53:02.179
are not utilizing Pat Friermuth. I'm going to

00:53:02.179 --> 00:53:04.000
go to a quarterback that's going to utilize me.

00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:06.820
Look at George Pickens. George Pickens with Dak

00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:09.079
Prescott looks like one of the best wide receivers

00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:11.739
in the league right now. I want that. I have

00:53:11.739 --> 00:53:14.780
the skill to do that. So if I'm Pat Friermuth,

00:53:14.940 --> 00:53:18.619
hey, I love you guys. I love Pittsburgh. I love

00:53:18.619 --> 00:53:20.940
my time being here. But to hell with y 'all.

00:53:20.980 --> 00:53:23.579
I'm going to Mahomes. And even when you look

00:53:23.579 --> 00:53:26.159
at his contract, his contract is easy to take

00:53:26.159 --> 00:53:29.840
on. His base salary this upcoming season, $7

00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:34.699
.6 million. His cap hit, $11 .2 million. In 27,

00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:38.420
$8 .5 million for base salary, a cap hit of $12

00:53:38.420 --> 00:53:43.480
.1 million. In 28, $6 .8 million with a cap hit

00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:47.179
of $10 .4. That is the perfect replacement for

00:53:47.179 --> 00:53:50.920
Travis Kelsey. I'm sorry, I'll give up a second

00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.789
round pick for Pat Frymuth. I may even have to

00:53:53.789 --> 00:53:55.369
give him a first round pick for Pat Frymuth.

00:53:55.429 --> 00:53:56.849
Now, I know that's a little bit excessive, but

00:53:56.849 --> 00:53:59.309
the reason why I'm saying go after Pat Frymuth

00:53:59.309 --> 00:54:02.909
is because he's a veteran, he's proven, and if

00:54:02.909 --> 00:54:05.730
you get Pat Frymuth, it's going to unlock something

00:54:05.730 --> 00:54:08.469
in this offense. With that being said, when we

00:54:08.469 --> 00:54:09.769
look at their cap space, they're going to have

00:54:09.769 --> 00:54:12.610
negative 40 .5 million. Now, I understand everyone's

00:54:12.610 --> 00:54:13.969
freaking out. Oh, my God, what are they going

00:54:13.969 --> 00:54:15.750
to do? They don't have no cap space. What are

00:54:15.750 --> 00:54:17.809
they going to do? Look at the Saints. The Saints,

00:54:17.889 --> 00:54:20.190
every single year going into the offseason, don't

00:54:20.190 --> 00:54:22.710
have no cap space. And then they nickel and dime.

00:54:22.949 --> 00:54:25.789
They pinch here. They pinch there. They restructure

00:54:25.789 --> 00:54:27.849
this. They cut this person. They'll sign them

00:54:27.849 --> 00:54:30.070
again. They'll cut this person. They'll trade

00:54:30.070 --> 00:54:31.610
this person away. And the next thing you know,

00:54:31.610 --> 00:54:33.070
they're going to have cap space. It's the same

00:54:33.070 --> 00:54:35.739
thing with the Chiefs. All they have to do is

00:54:35.739 --> 00:54:38.440
restructure Patrick Mahomes' contract, move some

00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:40.440
money around for Chris Jones, move some money

00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:42.239
around for George Kaloftis, and you're fine.

00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:44.179
And when we look at their free agents, of course,

00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:47.519
Travis Kelsey, Hollywood Brown, Jerry Tillery,

00:54:47.579 --> 00:54:49.679
Kareem Hunt, Brian Cook, Juju Smith -Schuster,

00:54:49.820 --> 00:54:52.940
Derek Nardi, Leo Chanel, Deion Bush, Mike Edwards,

00:54:53.179 --> 00:54:55.059
Carter Minshew, Taequann Thornton, just to name

00:54:55.059 --> 00:54:57.659
a few. Out of all those people, who are you going

00:54:57.659 --> 00:54:59.849
to bring back? Because honestly speaking, you

00:54:59.849 --> 00:55:02.230
can upgrade from having Hollywood Brown. You

00:55:02.230 --> 00:55:04.650
can upgrade from having Brian Cook and Juju Smith

00:55:04.650 --> 00:55:07.349
-Schuster and Derek Nardi and Leo Chanel. If

00:55:07.349 --> 00:55:10.570
you're the Chiefs, you can still sign some people,

00:55:10.650 --> 00:55:13.150
but at the same time, like I've said in the earlier

00:55:13.150 --> 00:55:15.650
part of this segment, fill this team up with

00:55:15.650 --> 00:55:20.889
young and cheap talent. Cheap. Talent, if you

00:55:20.889 --> 00:55:23.349
do that, I guarantee you, you'll be right back

00:55:23.349 --> 00:55:24.989
to where you once were a couple years ago. Now

00:55:24.989 --> 00:55:26.710
let's talk about the final team, and that is

00:55:26.710 --> 00:55:29.710
the Dolphins. So what went wrong in their season?

00:55:29.789 --> 00:55:32.480
And that is inconsistent quarterback play. bad

00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:35.300
roster construction, and just inconsistent offensive

00:55:35.300 --> 00:55:37.599
and defensive play. Now, when we look at their

00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:40.400
stats so far, they have the 21st ranked defense

00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:44.199
and they've allowed 24 .1 points per game, 342

00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:47.840
yards per game, 5 .7 yards per play, and 42 touchdowns.

00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:50.440
They were 18th in pass defense and they allowed

00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:54.380
216 .5 passing yards per game, 6 .5 yards per

00:55:54.380 --> 00:55:57.360
play, and 28 passing touchdowns. They were 24th

00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.920
in run defense and they allowed 125 .5 rushing

00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:03.630
yards per game. 4 .6 rushing yards per play and

00:56:03.630 --> 00:56:06.130
14 rushing touchdowns. They had the 25th ranked

00:56:06.130 --> 00:56:09.409
offense and they averaged 21 .1 points per game,

00:56:09.510 --> 00:56:13.530
308 .3 yards per game, 5 .5 yards per play and

00:56:13.530 --> 00:56:16.889
36 touchdowns. They were 25th in passing offense

00:56:16.889 --> 00:56:20.530
and they averaged 184 .4 passing yards per game,

00:56:20.690 --> 00:56:23.710
6 passing yards per play and 22 passing touchdowns.

00:56:23.710 --> 00:56:26.409
They were 19th in rushing offense and they averaged

00:56:26.699 --> 00:56:30.380
123 .8 rushing yards per game, 4 .9 rushing yards

00:56:30.380 --> 00:56:32.519
per play, and 14 rushing touchdowns. Let's start

00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:34.539
with the offense. Sure, we know the offense has

00:56:34.539 --> 00:56:37.219
been inconsistent this entire season, but there

00:56:37.219 --> 00:56:39.860
is some promise. And the reason why I say that

00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:42.599
is because when they started to rely on the run

00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:44.699
game, that's when you start to see this offense

00:56:44.699 --> 00:56:46.860
be really productive. But when they started to

00:56:46.860 --> 00:56:48.559
rely on the pass game, that's when you know bad

00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:51.219
things are going to happen. Now, can we put blame

00:56:51.219 --> 00:56:54.280
on Tua? Yes. But we also need to put blame on

00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:56.340
the coaching staff as well as the personnel.

00:56:56.900 --> 00:56:59.739
Because everybody has a hand to play on why this

00:56:59.739 --> 00:57:02.900
offense wasn't good. Sure, we can say Tyreek

00:57:02.900 --> 00:57:05.699
Hill should be on the field. And sure, Jalen

00:57:05.699 --> 00:57:08.420
Waddell needs to step up and do this and do that.

00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:10.519
But that little stretch where they were winning

00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:12.920
games and they beat the Bills and they beat the

00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:15.760
Commanders and this team and that team, it was

00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:19.159
nice. But guess what? They weren't going to make

00:57:19.159 --> 00:57:21.380
it in the playoffs. They weren't going to go

00:57:21.380 --> 00:57:23.760
to the Super Bowl. They wasn't going to go anywhere

00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:26.099
this year. Now, when we talk about the defense,

00:57:26.260 --> 00:57:28.820
however, sure, they were okay in spurts. But

00:57:28.820 --> 00:57:31.519
consistently, they were not that good. And that

00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:33.280
was expected because they didn't have a lot of

00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:35.280
playmakers on that side of the ball. Sure, Mickey

00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:37.739
Fitzpatrick was having a good season. Sure, Bradley

00:57:37.739 --> 00:57:40.219
Chubb was doing his thing. Zach Seeler was doing

00:57:40.219 --> 00:57:42.820
his thing every once in a while. But outside

00:57:42.820 --> 00:57:46.079
of them, and maybe Jordan Brooks, who else could

00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:48.250
you say really stepped up? Who else could you

00:57:48.250 --> 00:57:50.170
say took that next step in the right direction?

00:57:50.389 --> 00:57:53.570
Doc Robinson? Jack Jones? Kenneth Grant? Zach

00:57:53.570 --> 00:57:57.010
Seeler? Eh, they were okay. But they didn't take

00:57:57.010 --> 00:58:00.250
that next step to say, oh man, I can't wait to

00:58:00.250 --> 00:58:02.250
see what's going to happen next season. They're

00:58:02.250 --> 00:58:04.730
showing a lot of promise. I'm okay with this.

00:58:04.989 --> 00:58:06.829
You didn't get that reception from this side

00:58:06.829 --> 00:58:10.210
of the ball. Instead, they were okay. Now, if

00:58:10.210 --> 00:58:12.650
you have low standards, sure, you're okay with

00:58:12.650 --> 00:58:14.610
that. But if you have high standards, you're

00:58:14.610 --> 00:58:17.139
not satisfied with that. Now, can we blame this

00:58:17.139 --> 00:58:20.239
on the coaching? Sure. Can we blame this on Chris

00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:23.940
Greer? Sure. But this team was not going to go

00:58:23.940 --> 00:58:26.039
anywhere this year. Now, with that being said,

00:58:26.179 --> 00:58:28.420
what do they need? For starters, they need a

00:58:28.420 --> 00:58:31.309
veteran head coach. They need a good GM. And

00:58:31.309 --> 00:58:33.250
they need productive players. So with a veteran

00:58:33.250 --> 00:58:35.869
head coach, you need a culture builder. You need

00:58:35.869 --> 00:58:38.170
somebody that has a high standard of excellence.

00:58:38.469 --> 00:58:41.170
Because what you have right now is not sustainable.

00:58:41.610 --> 00:58:44.190
Granted, Mike McDaniel stepped up. He put his

00:58:44.190 --> 00:58:45.849
balls on the table and he said, you know what?

00:58:45.929 --> 00:58:47.670
I'm not going to do this no more. We're going

00:58:47.670 --> 00:58:50.409
to do things my way or the highway. But it was

00:58:50.409 --> 00:58:53.250
too late. You should have had this attitude the

00:58:53.250 --> 00:58:55.289
moment that you stepped foot in the Dolphins

00:58:55.289 --> 00:58:57.460
organization. But you didn't do it. You want

00:58:57.460 --> 00:59:00.619
to try to get along with everybody and be supportive.

00:59:01.059 --> 00:59:03.659
That's okay at spurts. But at the end of the

00:59:03.659 --> 00:59:05.760
day, sometimes you need to get in somebody's

00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:07.699
ass. You need to tell them, hey, listen, you

00:59:07.699 --> 00:59:10.059
ain't been playing well. Either you play well

00:59:10.059 --> 00:59:11.780
or somebody else is going to take your spot.

00:59:11.980 --> 00:59:14.179
Simple as that. Now, some people can handle that

00:59:14.179 --> 00:59:16.559
and other people can't. And that's okay. Now,

00:59:16.699 --> 00:59:19.800
sure, you could probably try, and I don't know

00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:21.480
if this is going to work or not, but you could

00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.000
try to get a Mike Tomlin. You could try to get

00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:27.099
a John Harbaugh if they're available. But realistically

00:59:27.099 --> 00:59:30.440
speaking, maybe Vance Joseph, maybe. I understand

00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:32.699
he's a defensive -minded head coach, but eh,

00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:36.260
maybe. Mike McCarthy comes to mind, maybe, if

00:59:36.260 --> 00:59:38.340
he wants to take that job. I just feel like,

00:59:38.380 --> 00:59:40.519
personally, if you're a veteran head coach, you

00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:42.420
have to think twice before you take this job

00:59:42.420 --> 00:59:45.119
because most likely Devon A. Chan will be gone.

00:59:45.539 --> 00:59:48.219
Jalen Waddell may be on the move. Minkah Fitzpatrick

00:59:48.219 --> 00:59:50.239
may be on the move. You may have to deal with

00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:52.780
Tua for maybe a year. Are you willing to do that?

00:59:53.230 --> 00:59:56.590
Because that's a lot to take on. And on top of

00:59:56.590 --> 00:59:58.610
that, you're not going to have a lot of cap space.

00:59:58.929 --> 01:00:02.070
So when you factor all these things in, do you

01:00:02.070 --> 01:00:04.889
really want to take this on? Because this may

01:00:04.889 --> 01:00:07.369
hurt your credibility. And this isn't going to

01:00:07.369 --> 01:00:10.289
be an overnight fix. This is going to be a three

01:00:10.289 --> 01:00:14.170
to five, maybe three to six year process. And

01:00:14.170 --> 01:00:15.809
that's if you're hitting on your draft picks

01:00:15.809 --> 01:00:18.429
and developing your players well and not making

01:00:18.429 --> 01:00:21.460
boneheaded moves. That's a lot to take on. Now

01:00:21.460 --> 01:00:24.139
with the GM part, you need somebody that can

01:00:24.139 --> 01:00:26.980
build a team. Don't just get the really cool,

01:00:27.159 --> 01:00:30.460
flashy GM that everybody is talking about. Get

01:00:30.460 --> 01:00:33.300
the GM that you know has a track record of building

01:00:33.300 --> 01:00:35.900
some really good teams. Not a good team that's

01:00:35.900 --> 01:00:37.840
just good for two or three years. You want a

01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:40.599
dominant team. You want somebody that's good

01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:43.239
at drafting, that's frugal when it comes to spending,

01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:45.960
and understands and values the right positions

01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:48.019
on a team. Now when it comes to the productive

01:00:48.019 --> 01:00:49.679
player part, you're going to have to get that

01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.320
in the draft. Free agency is not gonna be your

01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:54.639
best friend for a long time because nobody wants

01:00:54.639 --> 01:00:56.360
to come to a crappy team that's not winning.

01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:58.639
Now, sure, you could throw a boatload of money

01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:01.099
at people, but at some point, they're not gonna

01:01:01.099 --> 01:01:02.880
wanna stay there. Some people are gonna value

01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:05.659
championships and winning more than just having

01:01:05.659 --> 01:01:07.840
a fat paycheck. Now, when it comes to stack or

01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:09.820
shed, you're gonna have to shed this thing. And

01:01:09.820 --> 01:01:11.880
the reason why I say that is because the current

01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:14.639
structure that you have right now is not sustainable

01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.280
for long -term success. You need to clean your

01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:20.340
books, which is gonna take some time. And you

01:01:20.340 --> 01:01:22.739
need to get more draft picks. And the only way

01:01:22.739 --> 01:01:25.019
that you can do that is start trading away assets.

01:01:25.380 --> 01:01:28.320
I would trade away Jalen Waddell. I would trade

01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:30.760
away anybody else that has value. And then from

01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:33.559
that point on, you make this team as cheap as

01:01:33.559 --> 01:01:36.539
possible. One move I would do is go after Mike

01:01:36.539 --> 01:01:38.920
Tomlin. And the reason why I say that is because

01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:42.019
we have seen him within the last few years have

01:01:42.019 --> 01:01:44.780
competitive rosters without a franchise quarterback.

01:01:45.239 --> 01:01:47.940
That's a major feat in itself. That is something

01:01:47.940 --> 01:01:50.059
that not a lot of coaches have been able to do.

01:01:50.260 --> 01:01:52.599
Now, granted, we can all get on about the playoff

01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:54.380
success and all that other stuff, blah, blah,

01:01:54.420 --> 01:01:57.179
blah, yada, yada, yada. But how is it that somebody

01:01:57.179 --> 01:01:59.739
without a franchise quarterback has been able

01:01:59.739 --> 01:02:02.739
to beat the Ravens nine times out of 10? Really

01:02:02.739 --> 01:02:05.440
think about that for a second. Since Ben Roethlisberger,

01:02:05.579 --> 01:02:08.650
he's had Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trubisky. Mason

01:02:08.650 --> 01:02:11.369
Rudolph, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and now

01:02:11.369 --> 01:02:14.670
Aaron Rodgers. And he still finds a way to stay

01:02:14.670 --> 01:02:16.929
in the thick of things when it comes to the playoffs.

01:02:17.269 --> 01:02:19.610
Now the question is this. What would it take

01:02:19.610 --> 01:02:22.809
to get someone like a Mike Tomlin? A first? A

01:02:22.809 --> 01:02:25.389
second and a player? A third and a player? I

01:02:25.389 --> 01:02:27.829
would pay it. Look at Mike Vrabel and the Patriots.

01:02:27.889 --> 01:02:30.650
First year. First year. They looked really good.

01:02:30.869 --> 01:02:32.949
You wouldn't want that on your team? Meek Mill

01:02:32.949 --> 01:02:35.230
said it best. Scare money don't make no money.

01:02:35.820 --> 01:02:38.519
So if you're really serious about winning, you

01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:40.719
will make this move. I don't care if you've got

01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:45.199
to call Omar Khan every single day just to entertain

01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:49.059
this idea. Do it. Because I guarantee you guys

01:02:49.059 --> 01:02:51.119
are going to start winning. And let's look at

01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:53.280
their free agents. So they have Afitu Melefanu,

01:02:53.380 --> 01:02:55.980
Larry Borum, Liam Eichenberg, Darren Waller,

01:02:55.980 --> 01:02:58.440
Elijah Campbell, Rasul Douglas, Artie Burns,

01:02:58.699 --> 01:03:01.440
KJ Britt, Willie Gay Jr., Alex Madison, Dwayne

01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:04.320
Eskridge, just to name a few. Now, honestly speaking,

01:03:04.969 --> 01:03:07.230
Who are you bringing back? Because I wouldn't

01:03:07.230 --> 01:03:09.829
bring back anybody. And if you do, it's only

01:03:09.829 --> 01:03:12.409
for competition in the summer. Outside of that,

01:03:12.530 --> 01:03:15.449
I'm just wiping the slate clean. I'm getting

01:03:15.449 --> 01:03:17.989
some young, cheap talent. And I'm just going

01:03:17.989 --> 01:03:20.190
to be on the trash roller coaster. It may take

01:03:20.190 --> 01:03:22.679
me a while, but hey. Hopefully on the other side,

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:24.159
you're going to start winning. But I'm going

01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:25.780
