A highlight from Conor Picks A New Favorite Team
"I don't know if I like that. I I like as a coach like an outlier in appearance like a Like someone who's either very old Not in great shape Like looks battle -hardened. There's something to that for me because Well Vic Fangio is Mike McDaniel's defensive coordinator Now Vic Fangio is still the head coach of the Broncos we'd have and Vic and I are from Scranton That would have been a very well Vic is from Dunmore I'm from Scranton. Let me because he'll correct you when you say that but That would have been an obvious one, but you get rid of Vic Fangio you get rid of me as a franchise So but Vikings are good But again, it's like I like So what I like about them So the wholesome part like Kirk Cousins has got that covered but on top of that, right like I do think like the way they treated their plate like one thing that was very noticeable to me was the way they handled all their outgoing players this year and If you go back and you look like Dalvin cook Patrick Peterson Eric Kendricks All these got Adam feel and all these got Dalvin cook all these guys they offloaded None of them have anything bad to say about the Vikings because of the way they handle those guys on the way out And then what you have remaining? Is maybe the most exciting young player in the game and Justin Jefferson, right? Proximity, New Jersey, that's an easy flight. It's a Delta hub So you have like you can get there really really easily and probably like an hour and a half two hours I feel like the young core there is good. They're very Forward thinking with quasi Adolfo Mensa is their GM who's kind of like a good merger between analytics and scouting. I Think there's a lot there I mean I just think that and I don't think that they're at the level of like the Bears or the Giants where it's like Alright, like that's a hit. That's a team that like has Like it's hard to just join that established fan base You know what? I mean? Like I feel like they're like maybe a notch below that and they're Minnesota nice. They would let me in My problem is I feel like as my kids get older. I need the head coach to be Older than me because like I think Kevin O 'Connell and I are pretty close to the same age We're in the same NFL locker room together when I was a young beat reporter and he was I covered him to Quarterback. Yeah, it's so I think like I would imagine like maybe one day my kids being like Oh the head coach of the Vikings is 40. Why aren't you doing anything? Cool dad? You're you're 40 so that's just something that's kind of the back of my radar, but I do I I Do support moving the Vikings up? to to a hot team Potentially and I do like I like that They're a little earlier in the cycle because it would be a little strange to I think the Jaguars are a very appealing pick It would be strange to become a Jaguars fan and then for the rest of your life people say Oh, how'd you become a Jaguars fan? And you say well, it was Trevor Lawrence's third season They had already proven they could win a playoff game and I said now's a good time for me to hop on the Jacksonville bandwagon Jacksonville just feels like I don't know. It's like too obvious too obvious That's how I feel about Detroit too, which is in this category. We haven't even talked about. Yeah. Yeah No, I'm with you Detroit's too obvious and part of this is gonna be You know, I want a fan base that handles success. Well, I think on this list a lot of teams that got punished Are teams whose fans when they achieve sudden success? Just collectively become like the largest group of douchebags on the planet and is that how you feel about Eagles fans? People would describe Patriots What I like about Eagles fans, I will say this you're getting dangerously close to early Bill Simmons era Boston and A Boston Red Sox Boston Celtics where you're making it a lot about you and I think you are over rating The struggle that's what I would say and it's there's a very theatrical Element to all that we had to go through in the empty stadiums at the link and oh The fellowship what we called it up here was right before they like the championships started here They called it the fellowship of the miserable up here But it's theater, right? It's acting some of it is Yeah, I mean like the whole like going to your you know Great -grandfather's grave site the day after the Red Sox won the World Series. There was definitely some of that Okay, I can see that to one up that I will say the morning of the Super Bowl this past year I saw videos from Philly where people were at their grandparents grave sites tailgating And they had run like they were tailgating with their dead relatives I remember walking into the stadium in Arizona being sent these videos Wait a minute Can you imagine like driving by a cemetery and seeing like an RV parked in the middle of it and just like a half dozen people hanging out But that's also part of why I'm weary about Philly like there's always there's already this established fan Subculture and then to be able to fit in I would have to be so extra beyond what I am now And so I think that there's a little bit of pressure there to be there's a high barrier to entry to be a fanatical Eagles fan I think yeah, I also think Philly is a very strong 4 -4 kind of city and I know there are others on the list I'm not saying that's exclusive to Philly But I think it it is Particular there where it's like the diehard Eagles fans are tend to be also diehard Sixers Phillies fans It's not an easy city to sort of pick and choose one team a la carte and have other interests It feels like everyone's very much dialed into all of the teams I know there are other four for four cities people probably listening to the saying or cities like that, too But it feels it feels like some very passionate fans as I know and I think it would be a tough place to just sort Of hop in as just an Eagles fan it would it would anybody else have a candidate to bump up from maybe teams So we're moving the Vikings up right moving the Vikings up Okay, I'm gonna have to you know, the Kevin O 'Connell thing is a me issue.

We're the new host of Chasing Sleep, a podcast from iHeartRadio and mattress firm back for season two. There's so much research about sleep. Sleep affects your physical and mental performance, your family dynamics and your quality of life as you grow older. Sleep can even affect intimacy. And yet there's a lot we still don't know. Speaking of, is it OK to sleep in a different bedroom than your partner? Really? And will sleeping on the job like really at your job job actually make you more productive? We have questions. So many questions. Yeah. Like what about supplements? Like magnesium. Yes. What about magnesium? Is it too late to rename the podcast? What about magnesium? Yes. Yes, it is. We're going to talk to the experts who will help everyday people like us explore the mysteries behind our own sleep. So join us every week starting May 23rd and listen to Chasing Sleep on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. We start to look at a bigger story. OK, the Dolphins offense or the Broncos defense. And of course, the Dolphins had over 700 yards of offense and scored 10 touchdowns in a 70 to 20 shellacking of Denver down in South Beach. This past weekend, the Dolphins were the first team since 1966 to score 70 points. The record in the game. Seventy three points in the Bears beat the then Washington. Now, I was going to say Washington. Nineteen forty. Nancy Todd again. One seventy three. Nothing. The Dolphins could have at least tied the record. Decided to just kneel down in the game. But all all and all an incredible outing by Miami. And while I want to ask what the bigger story is, the Miami offensive or the Denver defense in keeping ties with losing a room. Let's start with Denver. Denver has a coach who comes in, mocks the the former coach, Nathaniel Hackett. Basically says, hey, look, it's his fault. They stunk because of him. Your team just gave up 70 points. Do you think he's already lost the room in Denver? Is this salvageable or is this something that maybe is already off the rails in an irretrievable fashion? No, he just got there. So, you know, I guess a 50 point beat down will probably test you and say, hey, do we believe in this guy? I think his resume being a Super Bowl winning head coach, you know, buys him some time. But it's just a bad look. But the more the way I see it more, Matt, it's like, you know, this guy was talking a lot of. Can I say crap? Yeah, crap. There you go. About Nathaniel Hackett and the different coaching staff, things you don't normally hear a coach say about another coach. And he pretty much just said, all right, man, we're going to be so much better than whatever the heck they had last year. We're going to raise the bar here. Russell Wilson, man, you know, he had a bad thing going on there. And then after that, like, OK, anything bad that you do, if you're sloppy out there, if the offense can't get going, then that's going to look bad on you for calling out a different coach. And then you go and lose by 50 points. You allow 70 points. You allow over 700 total yards, like you mentioned, 10 touchdowns. Nathaniel Hackett never did that. So now you're probably asking yourself, you're in that locker room to your question here, man. It's like, man, like we were never embarrassed that bad. Like this guy might be worse. And last year was awful. Maybe we shouldn't believe in this guy. So I don't know if players are doing that just yet. So it's September. So and again, his resume does help. But this really like was it was it was a Garibose, the one that said, man, I've been here seven years. I'm tired of losing. We stink. I'm fed up. So guys like that. And it makes me it makes me wonder, too, like I get Sean Payton is very competitive. And if you're a head coach, you've got to be confident yourself. And he won that Super Bowl a long time ago. You know, so he's going to hold it, you know, hold on to that one. But he they spent money for agency. I get it. You want to spend money on the offensive line. Mike McGlinchey, Ben Powers, you go get Zach Allen on defense. And I'm like, when you spend money like that, that tells me you believe in this roster. You believe in making it work with Russell Wilson. And at some point, maybe it should have been like, OK, we should look for the future. We'll play hard this year. We're not going to tie in a bunch of our cat space already on the we already tied up with Russell Wilson contract. So that that was kind of a misfire there, like this roster. The one thing we learned at the annual hack, it had a terrible roster a year ago and sold the Sean Payton this time. So Sean Payton definitely has a lot of time to get get things going. They trade a first round pick for this guy. You know, I just remember that. So that's not a good look either. So I think at some point you got to look yourself in the mirror. And if you're Sean Payton or if you're George Pat and say, all right, it's time to rebuild here. We might as well be sellers of the trade deadline. And everybody, but maybe Patrick Sertan, you're staying. Everybody else you could leave, we'll trade you. Jerry, Judy, guys like that. And it makes me question like, you don't have a lot of talent, actually. Not a thing about it like this roster has been very misleading. Hey, Corlin Sutton, you're doing something. Go get traded. Guys like that. So besides Sertan, I think it's time to be a seller at the market. I couldn't agree more. And I don't want to be this guy, but I'm going to be this guy for about 30 seconds. I've been screaming from the hilltops since like February. They're not that talented, especially on defense. Sertan is awesome. Simmons is a very, very good safety. Who else is the guy who you're like, that guy's a perennial pro ball type player? Who is it? It's not Randy Gregory who got paid $70 million and came into Denver with, I believe, 15 and a half career sacks. It's not, at this point in his career, Frank Clark who's a good player, but not a guy who you're going to go out and say, oh, he's great. And unfortunately, he's been hurt. And even before he got hurt, he was very rotational for them. Bradley Chubb is gone. Von Miller is long gone. Who are the guys? Who are the guys on this team? Kareem Jackson? Who are the guys on this team that you're like, that guy's a problem? If you're an offensive coordinator, you're circling Sertan and you're circling Justin Simmons. And not one other guy on this team. There's nobody on this defense. The offense has some talent with Sutton and Judy and Javonte Williams. Sure, I'm here all day for that. Defensively, I have been baffled by this for six months. Who are the guys? And I thought Ejiro Ivero, who now is the coordinator in Carolina, did a hell of a job with that team last year. He did a great job. And I also add, it's different defensively. When you're on a team that can't score a point on offense, as frustrating as it is, you're going to have better defensive rankings. Because teams playing you are not going to ever try to take a chance. They're not going to push the ball down the field. If you're playing the 2022 Denver Broncos last year, you're playing conservatively. You're playing the field position game. You're not going to throw some ball that might get picked off. For what? Punt the ball, you're going to get it back in three plays anyway with a fresh set of downs, right? So when you're playing on a team that can actually score a few points, and this offense has scored a few, it hasn't been great for Denver, but it's been okay, then your defense is going to get tested more. Vance Joseph, I think, is a good coach and a good man. But look, when you come over and you're playing single high safety with a lot of blitzes in the AFC, you're going to get lit up at times. You're just going to. And I went back and watched the all-22. I put out a piece on Wednesday here at Sports Illustrated where I went back and looked at three plays from the week. And one of them was the first touchdown from the game with Tyree Kill. It was a two-man route. Tyree Kill's wide open. Denver drops seven guys. It's a disaster, but I'm with you, man. Look, they have some talent that they could trade coming up here. Jerry Judy's a guy, absolutely. I'm moving them, period. End of discussion, I'm moving them. Javonte Williams, I'm open to the idea. You need draft picks. You need somebody to come in. Problem is, after that, Josie Jewell, linebacker, is a pretty good player. You could probably get a pick for him. I don't know if it would be worth trading him, but you could probably get a pick. After that, unless you start getting into the, hey, we'll trade Patrick Sertan or Justin Simmons, there's nobody there. And to meet Sertan, you're not trading unless you get an offer that is just overwhelming, right? I mean, you're talking like two firsts plus, something like that. I don't know that Peyton can recover this specific group because when you give up 70 points, where do you go from there? How do you convince those guys that you're worth following? How do you convince those guys, hey, look, I'm still in control and we still have a plan to win? If you're Vance Joseph, how do you look at your defensive room and go, yeah, look, we're good. We're good. And I got to tell you, I went back and, like I said, I watched that tape. There were a lot of guys on that team that, frankly, the effort was not there. It was business decision you toward the end of that game. It was just like, yeah, I'm not going to make that tackle. I'm not really going to make an effort to make that play. The first touchdown that I'm talking about, there was a part of that play with Kareem Jackson. You watch all 22. I mean, you're getting a pretty wide shot of that field. You pretty much see the whole field. Kareem Jackson is not in the screen. He's not on the screen. It's all 22. The man disappeared. It is horrible football. We're going to get into Broncos-Bears in a little bit because I guess we're all just here for some pain and torture. But let's talk Miami. Seventy points. First two weeks of the year, they average 30, scored 36, 24. Then they score 70. They win by 50 over Denver without Jalen Waddle, I might add. Is this an offense that you expect? Look, I'm not saying that they're going to continue to score 70 again. Nobody thinks that. Are they going to come back to the pack here somewhat, or do we think we're looking at an offense that might be somewhat historic? Yeah, it's tough to call anything historic. Last week I thought the Cowboys defense was special, and here we are. They lost to the Cardinals. Yeah, especially franchise records. They'll break that. The reason why I will give you kind of a safe answer, I think it could be his story because I think Mike McDaniel and Frank Smith finally got the part where they could run the football at will whenever they want because this offense a year ago was like, all right, let's get too comfortable. Let's build off of Waddle and Tyreek Hill and just take a bunch of shots downfield in a very creative way. Obviously, they're going to keep doing it, but you've got to be creative. They got that down. Now we've got A-Chain and Raheem Mostert. What year has Raheem Mostert been in the league? He's been like seven or eight. Usually they kind of taper down around this point here, and he's been inside a bunch of injuries. Pretty much they just said, you know, we're going to build the team of track stars. We're going to just do a bunch of motions, creativity, spread it out. We're going to beat you in two ways, and they've figured that out now because we kind of just forgotten that Mike McDaniel, he was the brains behind the Kyle Shanahan running scheme. He was the one that was laying the foundation. He was the one doing all that work for Kyle Shanahan, and we all expected a similar offense. Okay, run first because you have 2-0. He can't throw the ball down the field, and he said, F that. We got Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. So as a coach, that was pretty impressive to build a scheme that suits your guys in Miami, and now what you're good at, the expertise, the running, the football, they got that going, and that could be pretty scary. So I will go that way. It could be an offense that breaks a lot of records, and Matt watching that beat down to the Broncos, I'm still stunned that I saw 17 points. I stopped watching after a while. I got other things to worry about. Let me watch that game and that game, and I hear Scott Hansen from Red Zone saying, they just dropped 70. I'm like, what? I got like a double take, like 70 points here. So that was very impressive all around, and the thing that came away, Matt, was like, I am so excited for this Bills game because the Bills have a good offense, a good defense, but when you're playing Miami, if you don't have at least a lot of firepower in offense, like the Chargers did in week one, or a very stout defense, like the Patriots in week two, just leave. Don't even go to the game because the Broncos had neither offense or defense, and you saw what happened. So you better have one of those things in the top ten or top five of the NFL. 100%, 100%, and look, this is going to be a great game we're going to get into here in a minute.

"Investigators determined that alcohol impairment racing reckless driving in speed when significant were significant contributing factors to that crash. Now, there's nothing that says attaches Carter to alcohol. I don't know what is blood alcohol level was. They don't have that in the report here, but Jalen Carter was scheduled to meet with the media and that was going to be a ten 30 eastern. Yeah, Pauly, according to a couple of reporters who were at the combine at ten 30 a.m. eastern. They were going to have Jalen Carter in a number of different draftees with little podiums and do take questions. It's almost like a media night media day. And no one has come out yet and it might be on hold for a little bit. I would think so if I'm Jalen Carter that I need to gather, I got to get my agent on the phone and perhaps a lawyer here and you're probably not going to be speaking to anybody. I would assume that. One of the other topics going on at the combine, really with the NFL, is the quarterback push play. And the eagles were very successful in the playoffs, certainly in the Super Bowl, the general manager of the eagles, Howie roseman was asked about that play. Yeah, I think it's a better question for coach cherry. All I know is everything we're doing is legal. And it works and just because people do something that's really good, doesn't mean it should be outlawed. I don't have enough money to get found. Okay. Nick cerioni, the eagles head coach. And it starts with this question. What are your thoughts on the possibility of outlawing the push play? Yeah, you know, obviously you look at that and you think, I think some defensive coaches are bringing that up right there. But we'll play whatever rules that they have. I think it was obviously a very successful play for us, right? And you guys would know the numbers a little bit better and I haven't hit myself scout stuff yet. But very successful play for us. But it wasn't the only thing we were doing off of it, right? And I think we had some exciting plays that came off of it. When the defense was trying to stop the play that they thought was coming. And that's kind of what football is. The dolphins head coach Mike mcdaniel was asked about the push play. I mean, I'm pretty

"As always on Thursday. The take lord Steven Ruiz is here as well. I'd like the new nickname. Yeah, it was good. I just came up with it right now. You've been doing QB rankings for us every week on the ringer. And you're wrestling on a fellow show, a bunch of things. I want to talk about QBs. To start with. It's been a topsy, turvy year for a guy named tua. Who I think if you made the YouTube video of his throws to share that we're almost intercepted, how many how many throws would be on that clip? I take at least, I think it's getting close to 20. You said 20 earlier in the week, I don't think it's quite there yet because you missed like 18. It's definitely double digits at this point. What do you think bell against the Chargers? 18, Ben? Yeah. Let's see, we had at least four in the Steelers game. So if you just assume there's an average of two per game, yeah, we're looking at double digits. There was at least three in the first patch game. He's also like, I think he might lead the league in two defenders colliding into each other who both thought they were going to get the pick. Those ones, which that's a specialist. Kiwi, but on the other hand, he's thrown like 20 of the best deep balls and 30 yard passes of the year. So they're playing buffalo. Bad weather, 7 point dogs, and I don't know. Is it more likely Miami misses the playoffs or makes the playoffs at this point? Because you could make a case both ways. What do you think, Stephen? Well, I really think it comes down to how to adjust. I know a lot of the talk this week has been like, there's a blueprint out. There's a book out on this dolphins offense and how is Mike mcdaniel going to adjust. But I think this is a situation similar to the one in Los Angeles with McVeigh and Goff when golf got not golf when mcvay's system kind of got found out by the Patriots in that Super Bowl. Mcvay couldn't go to a plan B and it wasn't his fault. It was because his quarterback just wasn't capable of it. And Sunday Night, there were guys open. I don't put it on mcdaniel. Two it just wasn't processing. He wasn't going through his reads. He was locking onto his first read and whether he was open or not. He was throwing it. So I really think it comes down to and whether he is this quarterback that he was hyped up to be as this sharp processor, this accurate guy who could throw it into tight windows. We're starting to see that starting to see pushback against that. We're starting to see that to show up on film over the last two weeks. And I think it's because defenses are starting to figure him out and starting to figure out his pressure points and like what he doesn't like to see and the types of coverages he struggles with. So I really think it's on him. And if the answer is no, he can't adjust. I would not be surprised if they miss out on the playoffs. So unlike solax eagles where nobody can figure them out because it's such a juggernaut. They're just like, oh, you're gonna do this, watch this. We'll score 40 points this way. What do you think? Have you seen anything in the tape so luck with tua that you think that teams have stumbled on? Yeah, so the blueprint aspect of it is tricky, right? Like Steven said, is there a blueprint that mcdaniel has to respond to? Schematically, it's okay, two or three to the intermediate middle, the field more than any other quarterback in the league. He had a 50% more attempts than second place. He had missed a few games. They just hammered ten to 20 yards down the field between the numbers. So the 9 or sweep that away with Fred Warner, the Chargers took it away with bodies. They took it away with ski. They took away with the dropping safety and with thinking linebackers and just saying, we are going, they played their corners with inside leverage. We're like unbelievable, insane. You don't see this inside leverage. Daring order to throw a call outbreaking routes and then daring to it to throw them and just the offense was it was a Django piece in a tower, right? You pulled out that intermediate middle and there wasn't enough structure around for the offense to stay sustainable. So okay, there's your blueprint. Take away the middle of the field, run some press coverage. That'll help disrupt the timing. There you go. There are schematic solutions to that. They try to outbreakers, they're going to try to run the football more like those exist. The coaching job for mcdaniel is less about the schematic answers, and more about the individual player that tua is. Like, what his character is, what is confidence is. Because there are on the niners film and the Chargers film. A litany of open receivers. Available check downs. One on one matchups that should be taken, clean pockets that he escapes out of time that he doesn't buy. Tua is a snowball quarterback man. I mean, when he starts hitting throws, he's extremely confident he'll whistle something in there. When he starts missing, when this offense doesn't immediately catch fire in quarter one, he just gets really under confident, especially if you start hitting them. And you start accelerating that internal clock. I can't think of another quarterback in the league who has such a precipitous drop off. Once you start getting hit and start struggling like two it does. And so for mcdaniel, the coaching challenge isn't so much about the ski aspect of it, as is about managing the individual. This is a guy who has just been like fraught with like a very traumatic career in terms of the injuries and the ops and the downs and like all the visibility on him and in Miami and Brian Flores and everything that's going on with you have to manage individual. You have to find a way to get him confident, keep him confident, even when you have bumpy games to start. Mcdaniel said that at the beginning of the year, he said so much of his improvement was just like getting him confident. And I feel like he's lost that confidence. You can see it on film, you can see him not being confident in his reads the way he was. He's not getting rid of he's still getting rid of the ball quickly, but it's not as quickly and as confidently as it was over the first 13 weeks of the season. Ruiz, you had him ranked 16th in your latest QB rankings. You had a behind Derek Carr who I think has been pretty lousy this year. Compared to last year and beyond cousins, you haven't been on Kyler Murray, who's not even playing anymore. Yeah, I'm behind Watson. That's not kyla's fault though. Yeah, bench. Well, you haven't been on Watson. I haven't been impressed by. Lawrence, who's been up and down. Et cetera, et cetera. When you you've been pretty hard on two in these rankings, the two of fan base, they're a handful, they're probably the number one craziest affection for a player fan base that we have right now.

"This is modernity versus tradition. This is the future versus the past. This is an offensive coaching staff and Joe Lombardi, who came up in the NFL nucleus who came up with the hegemony. The decided to thought of what an NFL offense should operate like. So he runs West Coast, traditional stuff, gets to the correct read, distribute the ball. One to two to three. And then you have Yale Mike mcdaniel gamer over here who's like, I'm gonna throw it to only two players. All the time on early downs after play action after motion moving around in the backfield turn around this way, run to grass, air raid, we're gonna steal this, just you have creativity against total calcification. And so while the Chargers on paper could hang with a team like the dolphins, their offensive coaching staff has decided preemptively that they're going to neuter their star quarterback and not let him do so. I think that dolphins run away with this. I have dolphins team total overs. I think this is a big win for the dolphins because that Joel embark is gonna get laughed. He's gonna get lapped by a machine that is using parts that's using technology that he's never seen before. And that's why the Chargers, you know, off season, need of the consider moving on and updating their offense. It's sounded like you were talking about bad Patricia. It's floppy disk stuff. These were the prevailing ideas back in the 90s. This is what I, oh, I watched the Peyton Manning and Tom Brady adjust the call at the lines. That's what I want to do now. You don't need to do this anymore. We got better things in the world, man. Race to 30, you could do Miami minus one 96. Total touchdowns, dolphins, over three, what was the scoring? What's their line for actual points? Team total, I want to say it's like 28 and a half? Yeah. Oh, I got it. 27 and a half for the dolphins. And dolphins team total has hit you as killed you twice. Past couple weeks. I know except I've been on it. And two totally different ways. It was 30 and a half against the Texans. They scored third in the first half and then did not score the rest of the turtles. I remember. And then it was 20 against the forty-niners. And they scored 7 in the first minute, the first 30 seconds. And then they couldn't push the football down the field for the rest of the game. The reality is that this team is so high flying. They're so explosive, that they have the ability to pour points at any time at any down distance from anywhere. This is as high octane and offense as you can find. So the ability for like weird covers and for backdoor stuff and for alternate lines, like it's all a little bit haywire because of that. But I think you can set your clock to is just the team putting points on the board and defense that we don't know what they're going to be. Games here, we don't know what they're going to be, but generally they're going to be worth, I think like that three touchdown line makes sense. I think that that 27 and a half line makes sense. So you're thinking the over under for that game is 51 and a half. If there's any chance for the Chargers to win that game, it would be because they outscored Miami and in high scoring game. So that would be plus one 50 plus the over. And that's their only chance. They have to score like 40 points. And if they're going to be there, you know, obviously taking it for now is kind of reading into the Mike Williams Keenan Allen health situation. If you're going to be on that, I'm going to get there by Sunday Night.

"He is just, he's escaping things in the backfield. He's making things happen. And I guess they are designing some cool stuff for him. And they are making things happen with Chase claypool and Darnell Mooney, which is, it's not a lot. He's more comfortable, too, as a passer. The outer structure stuff is awesome. But you can't live on that, but some of the instructor stuff. It's a lot better than it had been even back in September. So man, it is the error on him is certainly pointing up and I might, I think Tyree kill was the guy who put in the MVP conversation among the non quarterbacks like holy crap. The other thing I'll say is, I think Jalen Johnson's a fine player. I think it'll be a lengthy career as sort of a quality cornerback in this league. If you didn't know who the opponent was and you just watched Jalen Johnson this game in comparison to the people he was trying to cover and you were like, what do you think that guy's 40 time is? You'd be like, I don't know, it looks like a 7 6 7 8 type of guy right here. Oh my God, like, just a miserable day for him. The only thing I was saving them was the under throws. But man, tyreek hill is unguardable right now. And when you put all your resources into guarding them, they have Jalen waddle to go to. The bears game a lot of his own looks. That's no good. I mean, the stress that speed puts on a zone defense, it just immediately obliterates it. So, boy, it's cooking right now for the dolphins. And, you know, we'll see what happens as the year goes on. I do wonder, yes, if tyrique has like a soft tissue injury, that's a huge issue. I do also wonder as team C more and more of what this might be Daniel offense is with this caliber of sweet. Does it speed just forever overwhelm? Or will teams find a way to counter that and adjust, I don't know if we have that answer yet, but it's working. The defense isn't very good, but it's working. It was funny. Mike mcdaniel said today that Justin Fields was as fast as any skill position player that he's seen in the league. I'm sure he's obviously leaving out tyreek hill there who is on a different level. But speed is, we always used to make fun of Al Davis for stockpiling fast players and it was never successful for the Raiders, but that it wasn't that wasn't the NFL back then, right? And it wasn't spread out and there wasn't as much space to work with on the field. Now, I think speed is really the last, it's that last trait, right? That is not unstoppable, but is the thing that separates you from anybody else. I think that's why Heinz from Indianapolis, for example, was why he had offers at the trade deadline just because I think it's just, it's the one thing that if other teams have it and you don't, there's nothing you can do about it. And I'll make like a weird comp to think when the royals won the World Series. Do you remember what I'm talking about? It was like 5 years ago.

"I mean, the running backs all makes sense, right? Mike mcdaniel, Jeff Wilson, they've worked together. They know the offense. I think that's a good trade. Great moment for the running back position. Yeah. This entire trade deadline. That whole thing makes sense to me. Bradley Chubb, I have no problem adding another good pass rusher. I feel like any chance time you get the opportunity to do it, you should do it. But there's a lot of, I mean, I guess you saw the forty-niners getting good, right? So you think it's gonna be a late first round pick anyway. I'm not gonna get a good pass rusher at that point and that's what we need so you go get it. Makes sense. Is chub the guy that you feel comfortable trading a first round pick for? I mean, every one of these moves is a gamble. This doesn't feel like nearly the sure thing that a lot of people I felt like thought it was a sure thing yesterday. The one thing that I can't really get a handle on is how good is Bradley Chubb. Right. We have no idea. Yep, I think he's good. I don't think this is a matter of getting a guy that you're going to be like, oh, wait, he's like our fourth pass structure. No, I mean, he's a starter. He's probably a quality starter. I don't know how good though. I don't know if he's necessarily different making. But the thing it presents as an option now for the dolphins who I mean the dolphins are so blitz heavy and that's in part by necessity because you have Jalen Phillips and you really don't have a whole lot else as far as sort of just natural edge rushers go. So now you have two and I think Jalen Phillips probably has a higher long-term ceiling but I think right now for the sake of laziness, I'll just say Jalen Phillips and Bradley Chubb are probably too like, you know, B plus type of type of pass rushers. You have one on each side, maybe that means double team for one and not the other. And then that guy can do some work in singled up situations, but they kind of, they're so, they've been hit hard by injuries in the secondary. And I think they do need to figure out a way to do this without having to send a 5th rusher constantly. And this theoretically gets them closer to being able to do that. I don't know if it's gonna be enough, though. It's weird like he wins a lot. I mean, you also have like, you have Mark Ingram there. Like, you know, or Melvin Ingram, sorry. So, you know, it could work theoretically. Like, I think, right? But he wins a lot. Especially this year, but does not draw a ton of double teams. And I thought that was interesting in Denver. You know, Randy, you know, did you did you draw more after Randy Craig? I didn't see the split exactly there, but you know, he's not a guy that you feel like you have to double team from the jump. And so that to me, personally, is the first round pick threshold, where it's like, is he gonna mess up what they have to do from a blocking perspective? That's at least how I kind of think about it, or is it like, is it a guy that you stick your left tackle on and it's like, okay, you know, big boy time, let's see if you can handle it. And I feel like that's sort of more, I think chub is right on that threshold. Now maybe Mike mcdaniel Boyer, they unlock something in him, which is totally possible, by the way. I think the tools are there and he's a gigantic human being. And I think this could. And with von Miller, you see that he took some of those moves from him. Like he really does, he has the moveset. So maybe it's all there. Raw materials, and this is a gamble on, hey, we're going to make this work and he's going to stay healthy. Yeah. Yeah, and the other thing that's really interesting to me is just speaking more broadly about where the dolphins are right now. When we were coming into the season, it was kind of like, okay, well, they got tyreek hill and now they get to see if two a tongue of ilo it is going to be the answer there at quarterback. And it looks like the answer is probably yes at this point. Now the question is, all right, well, you know, we're not we're not making a move at quarterback. There's not even one available to us. Should we should we decide to? They have a window. I just don't know what the team sealing is. But this might be the ceiling right now because I don't want to overstate this. But there's something of a tyreek hill window that they're looking at. And people age differently than they used to. So we can't say anything in definitive terms, but tyreek hill does not profile as a guy who will age well. And he might be a soft tissue injury away from really being far less effective than he's been to this point in 2022, which has been, I mean, he's been a superstar. He has been as valuable as any non quarterback in the league. So far in his dolphins career, but when that goes away, it just feels like, again, it's a, you know, relatively limited what you can do offensively. It's called Ron's gonna be so upset. Clip it. It's relatively limited with what you're gonna be able to do offensively. And when Tyree kill is no longer Tyreke Hill, have you know, were you basically walking this tight rope and now you've kind of fallen off the tightrope and instead of being top ten to 12 offense, now you're like a top 20 to 25 offense and your defense is kind of middling and all of a sudden you're whatever, you're in 7 and ten to 9 and 9 and 8 type of range there. So it's like it's a window, I just don't know what the window is, like, I don't know what's opening to. Yeah, it's like, well, one of the saw movies that I saw, I can't maybe saw three. Do you ever see any of the saw movies? No, but I know what they are. They're saws and you have to saw your body parts offer whatever to escape. Is my impression. No, but so, I mean, you know, this guy kidnaps everybody and throws him in a house and you gotta do scary things to get out and then, I mean, I'm not explaining it any better than you are. But sometimes they're like, oh, well, let's just leave the door that we came in and they open it and they open the window and then it's bricked over. So maybe the dolphins are just like, we went on this secure circuitous journey to like fix to a tongue of eye Lola and illegally tamper and try to hire Sean Payton and get Tom Brady and then we're gonna run around and get tyreek hill and then we open the window and we still can't get out 'cause we're the Miami Dolphins and we're gonna finish 8 and 9 in Rohan's never gonna stop texting us about the dolphins. They also, as you mentioned early, they got Jeff Wilson, which as he said, it makes sense. And you find him, you can drop him in there and he was expendable for the forty-niners with Tricia McCaffrey in there. And yeah, he knows the system and he and Mike mcdaniel reunite. Indeed.

"And that's by design. Let's start it off with a lot of intrigue and a lot of shocks and teams and uncomfortable situations. And that division games too. We have like 5 division games, including that Bengal Stewart's game that I really like the Bengals this year. I'm a little nervous. Yeah, I want to see exact line higher. It's trubisky. Why is that line 7 and a half? The Bengals are good. They're just kind of lingering. So it's time. It's underdog parlay time. You make the case because as people know in this podcast, I'm extremely worried about this patriot season. Peter schrager looks at it as the opportunity for the perfect sack. Patriots three and a half in Miami. Everybody is just kicked dirt on the season. I've even I have some dirt on my shoes. I got to admit. Very, very concerned all the way around. About this team and the dolphins on the other hand, the two of PR campaign has been masterful. Masterful. It's been really the opposite of the Olivia Wilde movie. By the time the season started, I fully expect him to throw for 5000 years. He went for $2. His backup and one of my options, yesterday. You see a zag here, explain the zag, arbitrage is the word. I see the Patriots winning this game outright. I see Bill Belichick being Owen three against tua tunga via loa, having an entire off season to prepare. In those games, that tua and the dolphins have won against them. 22 points, 17 points, 19 points. That's not you don't win games that way in the NFL. You go on even more. I'm concerned about tua. I don't know if two was good, Bill. And I think this will be meme, then this will be freezing cold takes when tua wins the MVP and that's fine. I'm not so certain that they in Miami are a 100% like to us the guy for the long term future. I think Belichick and why were they going after deshaun Watson for 9 months? Why were they going after Tom Brady? Obviously they didn't totally. Two different players that they went for. I'm not certain that tua is this like no brainer. You know, all the weapons they need to accurately get the ball to those weapons. Like, it's great to have tyreek hill. You gotta get the ball to tyreek hill. And jaylen waddle last year led the league was rookie receiver. It was great. There was not many huge deep splash plays. A lot of that was manufactured. Let's get jail on the ball. You prepare for that. It could be a little different. And as for the Patriots, I know it doesn't look pretty in preseason. And I know when you watch them against the Raiders number two defense and they can't get anything going because of this new zone scheme running attack that they're trying to employ that does not seem like it's ever been done. And they've got two offensive coordinators. Neither one of them necessarily an offensive guru. I get all that. But on offense, they're mostly the same as last year, and they were very efficient last year, okay? And I would imagine that would continue. And obviously losing McDaniels is the wild card, but they didn't lose Belichick. Belichick's there and he had time to prepare for this and he's like, did Belichick suddenly say, okay, this is the year I'm going to go three and three and 14 and it's just not worth it. I'm just going to do the lazy thing and hire two old friends. I think that Belichick's confident that this team can compete. I don't know. The offense will be efficient. You'll play the Mac Jones strength. Tua, I'm not sold on. And the New England pass rush is really good. Good safety is in a good pass rush. The linebackers, who knows. Fine. If you look at Vegas, the over under for Miami and New England is both 8 and a half wins. Come on Vegas has them as even. Yeah, and they went down there on a Tuesday, okay? To prepare for a Sunday game, they're not going to show up there and be like, oh my gosh, it's humid. They've been there. They're practicing. And I think this Miami dominance over New England is just weird. And I don't think Belichick's going to stand for it. And I love Mike mcdaniel. I have them going to the playoffs. I just think week one, I don't think Mike mcdaniel is going to embarrass Bill Belichick in a football game. I just don't see it that way. I test wise too as just never passed it for me. It's okay to say that. It's okay. It's okay to say that. But it hasn't. I would love to dive into the why are people so sensitive about this? So sensitive. Sports. We're supposed to have a, we watch games, and then we have opinions on what we watched. And he could be a lovely certain people. Tebow is like this too, where there's certain people that transcend this and it becomes like if you're talking about Beyoncé or somebody. With tua, I just saw a team that very carefully managed how they used him during the whole season. They never made him do anything he couldn't do. He never rolled out. He didn't seem that athletic to me. And he didn't sit in that accurate to me. And then people can cut these clips of like, oh, he nailed this 50 yarder there. And slow motion. From Instagram. I get it. Hey, when they needed him most, a couple of years ago in a huge game, he was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick. And last year, when he got back and here's what I will say. I've gotten to know mcdaniel quite a bit and he's never been the main dude. He's never even been in the offensive coordinator. He's never called really plays. But everywhere he's been. He's gotten the very most out of his quarterback. Whether that be in Houston with Matt shaub, whether it be with Robert Griffin, whether it be with Kirk Cousins, you go through it. Matt Ryan. He was with Jimmy Garoppolo. If tua can't succeed in Mike mcdaniel's offense, which is so quarterback friendly. And make sure these guys maximize their abilities by giving them great looks. Then they'll know, they'll know that this guy isn't the guy and next year with multiple first round picks, we'll have to, you know, or maybe they lost the first round pick. I'm not sure what the latest Brady thing. But now we'll know. We'll know that he's not the guy, but for everyone to dislike me so defensive and be so slam dunk that tua is the guy. I don't know. We watch a lot of football. I have an open mind and you ask people around the league like it's okay to question whether or not he is the guy for the dolphins long-term. Pats are plus three and a half, they're plus one 44 on FanDuel. Plus one 44 is what we'll be using for the underdog parlay.

"They're going to make them very exciting. Rohan super jacked about a left tackle that has played zero full seasons in the NFL. But no, I am with you. I want to believe I like Mike mcdaniel. I met Mike mcdaniel at the combine and he shook my hand and he said, Conor orr, what is your favorite boat propulsion device? And then because my last name is fantastic. Yeah, I love it. So from that moment, I was like, sold. This guy is very cool. I hope he was by far the number one interaction that I've ever had from meeting a new head coach, which is great. My concern, I think, so I think that Mike mcdaniel was sort of the, what's the completion of the metaphor I'm looking for here? Who is the best kind of pop culture man behind the man? You know, like the guy behind the curtain pulling all this through. Kris Jenner? What's that? Yes. Okay, yes. So he is the Kris Jenner of the Kyle Shanahan offense. I think that he is the mastermind of how all of this fits together. My hope is that he can make that work in Miami long enough to kind of solidify himself there before the outside zone gets stoppable. You know what I'm saying? Does that make sense? Because now 40%, I think, was the estimate I heard the other day of the NFL is running some version of this offense. And I know that's offensive. That would be like the number one psychology professor at Yale and the psychology professor Pomona community college being like, yeah, we both teach psychology. It's like, no, I don't, you know, what Arthur Smith is doing. I mean, Atlanta. I laughed at that joke, but I just like to say I'm not condoning an shout out to Pomona. I'm sure it's a great Pomona is great. I'm not condoning the shade goner has been throwing. Yeah, what's a college I could actually share? Just make fun of northwestern. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, be like northwestern being like, we have a journalism school. Okay guys, yeah. Hilarious. But yeah, that would be like Arthur Smith saying I run outside zone and Mike mcdaniel saying I run outside zone. Two very different things. One guy kind of copied the system and cribbed it. One guy sort of invented the modern version of the system, right? So I have faith, my hope is that it comes to fruition. I think we need more head coaches like Mike mcdaniel, who are personality forward who are not afraid to say things, yes. Yeah. It's all good. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's great. Just the organization needed a vibe shift. And I'm not saying that that's, but again, tua is going to have to prove it this year. Everyone's in agreement on that. They've obviously even stockpiling lots of draft picks. I think frankly, in the event that they need to move on from two, I don't think that's a secret, but the fact that they've given him a coach that actually wants to play him a competent offensive line, competent weapons, those are things that he did not have. And I just want to double down on something I saw, shout out to Jason McCourty, who I think said this on NFL network the other day, but, you know, I've seen people say, you know, this quarterback doesn't need that or, you know, how many years did Russell Wilson complain about his offensive coordinator in Seattle or he had someone like Doug Baldwin not to mention the defense he had early in his career. How much more did Josh Allen improve once the bills got Stefon Diggs? I think Anthony Lynn gets criticized for maybe some of the in game management. He had in San Diego, but was an up and coming offensive mind when Justin Herbert was drafted. There are ecosystems that young quarterbacks need. And I think it's long overdue for two and a half this kind of support system around him in Miami. You wanted to see me miss swinton?

I think this looks like it's going to be a disaster. It's like wow. It's just like an uncanny valley situation. It doesn't look right when he's in the uniform. Why is he so thick now? Like, when did he get so thick? A little bit on the heavy side. A little bit on the heavy side. I'm getting just veered very weird off putting just feelings coming off from that entire situation. I don't know what he was thinking. I mean, not that Pete Carroll is like Don Shula or something, but I don't know why it didn't work out there and I'm not getting a good feeling about this Bronco situation. Interesting. Wow. What's the conventional do people? I understand that he's I think he's a fantastic quarterback in the level of consistency he's obviously had for a long time is remarkable. At the same time, he has struggled now for stretches of the last couple seasons of the United States at the injuries, but I'm curious what the conventional wisdom is about him these days. I would say, I'm excited the Broncos new head coach Nathaniel Hackett was, I guess I can say Sports Illustrated's number one head coach in candidate last year and we profiled him before the season. I have a lot of that's another one that's curious to me. He was the guy who he was in Jacksonville for a little bit, right? And brought Blake bortles to the brink of a Super Bowl, which is like, did he really do that? I have some doubts about a guy who I don't think that Jaguar's offense was ultimately very good. And now he's like, it's like when the dolphins hired Joe philbin and it's like, let's go get the guy who co chair and Rogers. And then maybe you find out that Aaron Rodgers, maybe you find out that Aaron Rodgers had a little bit more to do with it. I'm not saying that Hackett can't be successful and it helps to have Russell Wilson in place already. I'm just I'm not sold on a guy with his resume. Man, we got the dean of Pomona college put us on a list now Nathaniel Hackett's gonna put us on a list. And this is like those Jaguars, that Jaguar seem ultimately proved to be very bad, like it was clearly a fluke playoff run. So how do we really judge his quote.

NFL Says All Teams Must Add Minority Offensive Coach
"NFL is now requiring every team to have a minority coach in a key offensive role. According to the NFL, turns out that recently the head coaches in the NFL have come from the offensive side of the ball and there is in the view of the NFL and insufficient number of minorities occupying these kinds of positions. Aside from the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, there is one other black coach, his name is lovey Smith, Texans just hired him. And the dolphins hired a man named Mike mcdaniel, who is biracial, one of his parents, it's white, one of his parents is black. And the NFL has now an equity measure to require each team to have a minority assistant coach. In a significant role on its offensive staff.

"And here's the, I will say this without being as smart as I was at the beginning of this take. The Shanahan offense, which Mike mcdaniel had a large part in creating, right? I mean, Kyle took everywhere. Mike has basically created all of what Kyle understands about the running game. And he's going to bring all that to Miami. However, the system has rules. And there's a reason that Trey Lance is in playing right now, right? You have to read things the way that Kyle reads it or in this case, two is going to have to read things the way that Mike reads it. If I had to guess, who is going to be able to do that faster and I don't think the dolphins are behaving like a team that's like, oh no, we can wait 8 weeks for you to figure this out. And what would be very surprised to not see a transition at some point this season? Oh my God. Okay. First of all, I'm not going to besmirch. Not going to besmirch. Miami native teddy Bridgewater, great to have him back home. This is what just bothers me about the NFL. There's just like, there's no patience in this league. Whatsoever. It's like, first of all, do people expect this guy to come out and be like, oh, I'm stoked to be a backup quarterback. I can't wait to be a backup quarterback. I signed in Miami. Of course he's not gonna say all those things, okay? In fact, I want him to be a competitor I want him to want the starting job. Secondly, the fact that teddy Bridgewater is a known quantity. I mean, that's the point, right? That's the point. You take a chance on someone like two of because as Gary mentioned, perhaps there is more upside. I'm with Connor, right? They're making wind now moves. I get that, but to me, it's like, for as bad as tua is, as much as you guys want to dump like all these things on his feet, you make it sound like he's never won a game in the NFL. They haven't had success with him on the field. You look at The Rookie, The Rookie years of guys like Zach Wilson, or Trevor Lawrence, okay? Some of the stinkers they put up. To us never had an NFL game that bad in his life. As someone's the multiple interception games, those guys have had. To me, they face nowhere near as much scrutiny. And you look at what two is dealt with. An ownership group questionable how incentivized they are to win. His rookie year, he has an offensive coordinator who had to pull out of retirement just to work with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Last year, they had two offensive coordinators, no one even knows who's calling the plays most of the season. Are you saying the degree of difficulty has been so high for him? And again, this isn't to say that he's proven that he's going to be great. He's definitely going to be good..

"To the league salary cap numbers, but they're just never right. And they're never updated. Jason it over the cap does the lord's work. It actually puts in the effective cap space, so we don't have to sit there with, you know, calculators for half of our day. So God bless you, Jason. Thank you. But yeah, Miami is really interesting to me because Mike McDaniels, their new head coach, is Kyle Shanahan's run guru and has been forever and is sort of the secret sauce behind that outside zone offense. I think there's a big reason why you saw the forty-niners run out and get Anthony Lynn who actually was a running back in that offense to try to replace him and get some of that institutional knowledge back. But here's what I'm looking for and I'm curious kind of your take on this, like when we saw Kyle, when we saw Kyle going to San Francisco, they were super aggressive in free agency, but in weird places, right? Like they needed Kyle used check, right, to make everything work. When we saw Matt Lafleur go to Green Bay, they wanted guys like marcedes Lewis. And there's all these very specific players that they need that are extremely important. Like if marcedes Lewis got hurt, the packers would have been SOL. And if Kyle used check got hurt, in addition to George kittle, the forty-niners would have won like four games last year. And I think that there are these players that they desperately depend on to make the outside zone work and I'm really interested to see now because Nathaniel Hackett's got a job somewhere. Mike mcdaniel's got a job somewhere. Like, half the league is running this offense now. And the other half is trying to still figure out how to run it without any of the guys to run it, basically. It's like you can go back 6 years and look at what happened to the Seattle defense. You know, getting those long cornerbacks who weren't necessarily burners, but the long arm guys were kind of the market inefficiency. They had found with that covered three style defense that they played. And then as we move through kind of the late 2010s, everyone kind of wanted those guys, not literally everyone, but most teams wanted those guys. Now that's a little more broad because cornerback is just sort of a purely reactionary position and being being a big guy is helpful anyway. But it is really interesting because there's, I mean, and I guess that's kind of the problem with picking off the coaching tree. You want to do it, but at the same time it's like, okay, well, now we have to get those kinds of players in here, and there are only so many of them. There are only so many Kyle used chicks. There are only so many. I mean, even the offensive lineman who, you know, they need those quick nibble offensive linemen. The forty-niners have kind of a loose sort of metric analytics sort of approach to what they're looking for as far as size and some of the testing numbers in their offensive lineman. And there's only, there's only so many of those guys out there. Yeah, and what's really interesting to me, I mean tight end is so it's so central to this whole thing, right? And I'm looking at you look at the free agent list that you have so artfully put together for our website. And the best, I don't know. I mean, where are the great, where are the great blocking tight ends on this list? I mean, Dalton Schultz, but other than that, you know, I don't really know where you're going. And that is something you have to have. So I'm thinking about like mcdaniel and David and, not really a blocker. Either. So I don't know, you're going to spend, you can plunk $14 million on the table for Dalton Schultz. Are you going to CJ uzama is probably someone that I like as a blocker and absolutely destroyed some people in the Bengals backfield this year. But other than that, there's no, it's hard to come from George kittle, who basically revolutionized the position. And I'm not saying that Mike mcdaniel is not going to be able to figure it out. But I'm just saying you do need these certain guys and are all these guys going to be bidding against one another for the sort of the scraps on the market. What was the Moneyball, the movie? What was the guy who threw funny, the reliever, the submarine reliever? Oh, I should know this because his actual baseball. And I used to know baseball back then. But I didn't know it. Bradford? Oh, Chad Bradford, yeah. Chad Bradford, yeah, so now we're all looking for Chad Bradford. Instead of just having a bunch of Chad Bradford's lying around, you know? Oh man, it's not a good band name. It's good album name though. We're all looking for Chad Bradford. Just like a morose woodsy cover, you know. But I don't know, 'cause this team needs a lot of work, right? Just taking a look at the roster, you're an awful. I mean, Brian Flores got blown up during this whole thing, but like Chris Greer could not put an offensive line together in 7 years. This is a bad offensive line. It's not a good offensive line. It's still not a good offensive line. You're okay at wide receiver. You're pretty decent on the back end of your defense, but that was also because Brian Flores was your coach. And the half of your defensive line is pretty bad, you know? Half of it's pretty good. So, but if I'm Mike mcdaniel, it's like, okay, well none of this works if we can't run the ball. So that's like one and one a is like we have to figure out how to make this happen. Yeah, it's gonna be a really interesting there. And it is a good point with the defensive line. I mean, they held together pretty well defensively last year, and they are keeping Josh Boyer there, but gosh, a lot of this was sort of Brian Flores in his creativity and the way they sort of worked around the fact that they don't have dynamic guys. I mean, it's a page read style defense. They didn't invest big money to get sort of the game changing superstar type of pass rushers that you have in a lot of spots. So you have to come up with different solutions there. And we'll see what happens defensively. But yeah, that offensive line is just circled and starred and highlighted and however else you want to do it because they've just they've with time and time again in the draft. And now you probably got to go out and shop in free agency or this is supposed to be you're trying to get a read onto a tongue of Iowa before you have to decide to commit or not commit and they're committed to them for this year..

"To know that. I like that he's not offensive coach, but the one thing I love and I know it's gonna be fun at minimum. He's gonna give really fun, interesting answers that press conferences and I hope just lean into his personality. And I'm like, look, train record not whatever happens here. It's going to be entertaining. And that really, really excites me for Mike McDaniels. It might be Daniel. No S, Mike mcdaniel. Being the new head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Now, we have a question about this. Noah writes in and says, Noah writes in on Patreon as you can do Patreon dot com forward slash scholar. Noah says, hi Zack, I've been watching for over a year now. But this is my very first time writing, and thank you, welcome. This is a two parter at the end. I'm a dolphins fan and we just hired forty-niners offensive coordinator Mike mcdaniel. I'm not sure how I feel about this one, but one thing I'm interested in is how this will impact jaylen waddle. We saw what mcdaniel did with Devo Samuel this year, making him a focal point of the offense in the second half of the year in San Francisco. Do you think he could do something similar with Jalen waddle? Not necessarily utilize in the same fashion. They're not the same type of athlete. But having the offense go through him as opposed to a quarterback or running back and having special plays and or formations. Here are my questions. Number one is that something mcdaniel could try and do. And two could that work? So I don't think you're going to see Jalen waddle used exactly like debo Samuel. They're not the same athlete. That would be a fool's errand. But what's really encouraging about Mike mcdaniel coming to Miami is that what we saw with him in San Francisco is he found a way to best utilize the personnel they had. He got the best out of everybody there. He used debo sandbo like running back because debus Samuel basically is a running back who can catch and he's just crazy hybrid of a receiver and a running back. Jaylen waddle is really good with the ball in his hands and I don't think they're gonna use him running between the tackles up the middle. Certainly not at all. But they're gonna use him outside stretching. I think maybe more similar to the way tyreek hill is used in Kansas City. A lot of fly sweeps, a lot of stuff out wide. Get him in space with the football. And yeah, I think they're going to lean heavily on him. And even if they don't, what I'm trying to say here is that it's just encouraging. They're going to use Jalen waddle a lot, get the most out of him, but also might be gain as a smart dude who if he can get the most out of debo Samuel, it gives me confidence he can get the most out of everybody else in Miami as well. And man, I'm just really, really excited to see what happens. And I think he's going to get the most out of tua, the most out of Jalen waddle, and I am excited to see how the draft and what they do, but I just think that what Miami has not had for quite a while. It's a really good exciting offense. And I am so very much hoping that Mike mcdaniel can bring that to Miami. Okay. Let's talk about the senior bowl..

"I don't think we have a relationship where if I ever was critical, I'm sure if that in fact, if I ever was like, hey, Keith and had two really bad interceptions that are terrible, Keenan would probably agree with me and go, yep. Got to play better and this moment in that moment. So I just want people to know, I always try to be as objective as I can within reason. Like I have an opinion I will tell you my opinion, but I try to be very fair. And I'm not a Homer in any stretch of imagination. I don't hate anybody. I don't hate any team. And so that's some of the stuff behind the scenes behind my approach to the show. Let's talk about some big news in the NFL. I'm wearing a shirt today that should indicate a little bit where I'm about to go. The lead story of today's podcast. The dolphins have hired a new head coach, Mike mcdaniel, who used to be last year, the forty-niners offensive coordinator. And there's not a lot to be said here necessarily. I think it's a good move. Really what they need in Miami is a coach who can, frankly, help to try to save to a tongue of a lower their young quarterback. If you look at it from like wins and losses and I think tua has done pretty well, he's actually gotten better as time has gone on. Like he's tua could be a train wreck, and he's certainly not a trained wreck that's hopeless, but he's going to have to get good coaching. He's going to have to take a step forward and I'm actually excited because Mike mcdaniel is a guy who could do that. Mike mcdaniel, you never know. I mean, I think I at one point thought Adam gases me good head coach. Adam Gase was a guy who worked with a Manning for years, offensive coordinator in Denver, came to Miami and was horrible. So just because you're hiring an offensive coach, does not necessarily mean they're going to be good or a home run or work with tua. However, it feels good and I think that it's better than them hiring someone like I don't know. My Zimmer, who's a defensive coach, like I'm glad Matt ebert Matty bruffey said quarterback or the head coach of the Chicago Bears. When the bears hired him, I was kind of like, it's a bit weird. He had a young talented quarterback Justin Fields. He's going to need a coach who can work with Justin Fields to develop him. And instead of hiring an offensive coach, you hired someone who is on the defensive side who isn't going to work as directly with Justin Fields to develop him. So what the one thing you can praise about Miami heroes, they did really, really lean into. We got to work with our quarterback. We have to fix our offense. And they hired a coach, Mike McCain, who reflects that need, and I really, really like that. Also, by the way, one thing that is, I don't know, this isn't necessarily going to make him a better coach. In fact, it really has no factor at all. But one thing I love about Mike mcdaniel is that he is hilarious to listen to an interview. He's got a good personality he's fun to listen to. He's got a he has a lot of fun at the podium. And I don't know, again, whether or not he's going to be gray head coach. It's way way way too.
Patriots Beat

"So I don't disagree that it's not exactly the most attractive job. Maybe I don't know. I think to the right guy if you have the right mindset to be very attractive. If you're somebody who will pre basically, I'm trying to think of a nicer way of phrases because this is exactly accurate. If you're somebody who appreciates a fixer upper, right? You know, this is going out and buying a 70s 8 Corvette Mustang that's been sitting in some of these driveway and like it's a, you know, it's a 70s sports car. You gotta put some work into it, but the result on the other side is so tremendous. So I think if you're somebody who enjoys the and by the way, I think this is true a lot about how the Patriots just either operation. If you're somebody who enjoys the process more than the success itself, I think this is a really attractive opening because, again, you have this young quarterback, you get to work with a lot of young players really on the offensive side of the ball. You get to work with you really get to make it your own. If you're somebody who just wants to slide in and post off Josh mcdaniel's success, you're not necessarily going to be able to do that. So I think that that's like how I split it up. I would also mention just quickly to wrap it up here. There aren't a lot. I'm just thinking off the top of my head. There aren't a lot of vacant OC jobs available that you can be the primary play caller because all these head coaches are that guy now, right? Just thinking about a Minnesota. It sounds like Kevin O'Connell's gonna get that job with the Vikings. He's gonna call plays. If Mike mcdaniel gets the job with the dolphins, he's gonna call plays. You got guys like dabel and New York. He's gonna call the play. So there's not a whole lot of defensive minded coaches, getting jobs now as head coaches that are then looking for primary play callers on the offensive side of the ball and the Patriots have one of the best defensive minds in football as their head coach and he's also going to allow you to call plays because he's certainly not going to do it. So there are very few jobs out there that don't have that setup where the head coach is the offensive play caller. And if they are, then they usually already have a pretty highly touted OC that has that job already in place. So there's not a whole lot of vacancies. I would argue. So if you're looking for one of those, I still think the Patriots is a decent option. Certainly a.

"And he had the same instinct like, oh my God, everybody's in the niners. It's such a red flag. But he was saying he was bank of Parsons. He might be the best defensive player in 20 years. That's capability. It's like, wow, that's Francesca's seen a lot of football over the years. If he thought Parsons was that good. Better than JJ watt better than von Miller, better than Aaron Donald in their primes. That's what you're saying. And I don't think it's a crazy statement. He's that good. The road map to Dallas this weirdly becomes that nobody believed in us game, even though their favorite Dax spent really good the last four games, at least statistically. I test still doesn't seem a 100% to me. I don't think he looks exactly the same. The schedule is also a little bit easier, obviously. But last four games, 13 touchdowns, zero picks. But 5 of those were last week. I get it. Just pointing out the statistical resume. I really value the last ten games of this season and the niners were 7 and two in their last 9 in Dallas was 6 and four in their last ten. So you almost throw the records out. All the evidence from the last three months is that the niners actually probably have a better football team. Dallas has a lot of blue chippers. It's scary to go against them for all reasons, but what about the playoff history, the fact that a lot of losses and a lot of tough ones really since the mid 90s, some plant manifesto rules, rule number 5, beware of everybody believes in a team we mentioned and then the world number 13 McCarthy has to be on there. I just don't want to take Dallas because I'm trying to zag against everybody else. I don't think that's a good enough reason. Now we saw last week with raiders chargers. You were pointing out all of the reasons to be afraid of the Raiders and you were right on all of those things. Fundamentally, I feel like the coach cost them that game and that was the part I didn't factor in. I was like, I shouldn't have trusted Brandon staley in that game. And that show down rich Versace. We love the pit boss. He's not, this isn't Belichick. This isn't some numbers quant. So it wasn't like it was this great disparity. Say what you want about Shanahan's overall record and we've done that time and time again and you and cousin salad up Walt Michaels and whoever else Kyle Shanahan doesn't waver and he knows every scenario and that guy at the very least, you know, can coach and can look at the thing. And McCarthy's got the Super Bowl ring Kyle does it, but if you're going head to head in just a big spot, that's where you got to make a decision. Who do you trust more? I trust the coaching, the blue chippers in the infrastructure that I understand. And I'll tell you this, it could be packers diners a week from now if it plays out the way it does. I also think we've seen this sometimes. We've seen this even when we've done a $1 million picks on Thursdays. There's that first wave and then things shift on Friday Saturday and we start zag in the other way. That's happened a bunch of times and I think it might happen with this. Cowards on there on a Tuesday talking about how much she loves niners plus three by Friday. He's like, no, I'm actually going to zag the other way. There's too many people on it. And weirdly, that opens opportunity. So I'm just going to go, I think we go 9 or plus three. We can talk about some of the money line stuff with them in a second. But I find I find their running game and I'm sure you could talk more in depth with solac or some of the XS and os X people. I find they're running game a pleasure to watch. And the guy who does it all is this guy Mike mcdaniel who is interviewing for the dolphins head coaching job next week and he's a Yale guy and he looks at the running game like a game of chess and the way they build it off that Shanahan thing like you're going to see debo in the backfield and you're going to see things you've never seen before. And it's every week they find a way to get the Elijah Mitchell runs and to get the use check runs. And the occasional end around to someone else, I just think that this team, they are playing really good football right now and they're doing it in such an unorthodox fashion that Dan Quinn better be ready for his old offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and what he's bringing in because I think that niners are coming. I think the winner of this game wins the NFC. Wow. And I say that in the most talking head way possible. Clip it out. Don't run a website. So you say that just had me go, wow. I really do. I think the winner will beat Green Bay. At some point. But I think I believe in Green Bay less than others because I just don't believe in their defense. Now, Kang jayer Alexander get back in time at full speed. Could that change it? Sure. But I think you can have long drives in them. And this running attack, the niners one, it beat the floor in the regular season on a Thursday. Sunday Night, then in the NFC championship game most it went nuts. And then this year, when they played, remember Aaron Rodgers pulled two amazing passes out of his ass in the last second and then Sunday Night game and it was amazing roger's performance. But Shanahan versus Lafleur, Shanahan's run game, it does do something to that team. Rams cardinals, rams are favored by four at home. They've lost two safety and had to sign Eric weddell who I think is older than the coach. They had now have two guys on the team who's older than Sean mcvay. Arizona, a third harder schedule in the league, four and 6 their last ten. One of the most penalized teams in the league. On the flip side, staff are a turnovers last four games. No Hopkins for Arizona. You can go back and forth, rams for 50 VOA Arizona's tent can make a case for either side..

But, yeah, I would need to lay eyes on his skill set in spring training to give you a much better assessment of where he's at after not being in the banks for so long, Okay, I gotta ask you about the Niners here before we let Ugo Salad goes to the Jets. He takes the floor with him. You got me Go. Ryan taking over his D. C. You got Mike McDaniel taking over his O. C, a couple of shifts on the offensive coaching staff any any deep concerns about the 40 Niners getting poached to some of their talent in the coaching coaching room? Ah, yeah. I mean, if you've got a little floor in the NFL, you wanna keep month staff. I think that that has been well established based on what's happened in Green Bay this year, and with how much credit? Uh, Michael floor got last year, when the mikes were in the room. The 40 Niners offense was coming in 2019. And obviously, that didn't happen this year, and we know for a variety of reasons, but but first off just really happy that Robert solid didn't get passed over this cycle, because deter I think that we have both spoken enough about what we think of his abilities. Scheme wise and his ability get the most out of players. But it's gonna be fun to see him in that CEO role head coaches take on aside from calling the defense Robert Solid is just getting a really solid coach. I truly believe that and so I'm going to follow that yet. I'm gonna watch their games and I'm gonna see what he does try and turn around that franchise because we both know it takes a lot of heavy lifting in that market and a lot of convincing, But his early hires have really impressed me. I got to say that is the highest compliment that you can give a coach. I'm willing to watch the Jets to see how it will go for, But I'm with you. I'm with you, 100%. We're all now Jets fans. What the hell happened to us? What? What a weird world we live in Gary Crowley. Thank you, for the time is always my friend. Thank you. Much theater, one of only Terry Crowley.

"So you know he didn't even try with with Michaela Flor, and that was kind of the other standing with Robert solid, but I think the idea all along was You know I can. I can allow Michael flirt to leave for a good opportunity because he's going to be calling the plays. God be the you know, in essence, the head coach of the offense there with the Jets, but you can't have both of those guys leave. So they made a commitment to Mike McDaniel to keep him around. And with that title offensive coordinator And already George Kittle has checked in on Twitter. And then so did call. You stick. He sent out a tweet city. Absolutely. Here. Yes, Here's a This is kind of what you're getting with. Likely. Daniel. There was a play. I think it Woz. I think it was a Monday night game against the Browns. I don't know if you remember this. But the very first play of the game was a believer is a map breed a run that like her deal, 65 yards for a touchdown and and and on that play Kyle used check, I believe is is selling a run to one side and then he just sticks his foot in the ground and reverses field. And in blocks is that now the lead blocker going the other direction. And so it's one of those classic I'll use check plays. Nobody does it like him where he has this change of direction and can sell, sell the play going one way. Get the defense of flow going that way and then cut it back. And your map. Brita just runs right behind him. It goes untouched. We'll call you check told me like the Tuesday before that game, So it's a full six days ahead of time. McDaniel calls him up late at night and says You are going to love this run play that we put in. Yeah, it's gonna It's gonna go the distance, you know, he he already knew based on the film study of the Browns, how they how they defend certain looks. That that play was going toe just blow up, and so they use that at the very first play of the game, And if you recall, I mean, that was supposed to be a good game going in. And after that first play, I mean, the Browns never even had a chance. And that was a play that, like McDaniel had Basically Giron upon a napkin six days earlier in hut had already told Kyle use check before they even report to the For the to the facility for the first practice of the week. You are gonna love what we have installed tomorrow when you get in here. Well, listen. I mean, they run the ball beautifully. All the players like him. He's been in the building. It seems like you know, continuity wise, it's all arrow up. I mean, well, obviously see what happens in the fall. But just last one, and now we're sort of running a little bit low on time, but Damico Ryan's a little bit circling back on him. You know the talk was that something gone. He's he's so beloved that some nine are free agents would go with him, Which is there an argument to be made that D'Amico Ryan's is also so well liked. That could counter some free agents to stay. 100%. Yeah, no, I think so. Um, you know, Tameka Ryan does the well respected guy and you know the thing that he has going for him, of course, is it I mean, he wasn't in the legal that long ago. So he is. He's very much like solid. Just a personable, good guy. Upbeat, positive. Um You know, he can relate Well to the players. No, I think that that was you know all the talk about you know, they could hire Dan Quinn. They could hire Gus Bradley. They could, you know, make a run at this guy or that guy and I think just ultimately, there was just no reason not to not just kind of stay young and fresh and And give to Nico Ryans. This opportunity. You know, he'll have some growing pains. No. Yes, you recall Roberts, All I did in his first two years, is four years defensive coordinator. But I think along the same lines, you know D'Amico. Ryan's won't will grow, He'll learn. He'll just get better and better and and, like Kyle Shanahan can stated. I think that Of Jamaica. Ryan's is certainly on the fast track. If this goes well, he's on the fast track to becoming his NFL head coach in that defense plays. Well, That's the thing masala that defense played well. I got him in the door, and then it's the personality. It's the plan. It's the CEO type of, uh, you know that or is that a guy gives off? That's what gets you the job. And so sala. Any time he's gonna interview is gonna have a chance for the job, and I think ultimately to Nico Ryans will be the same way. Great stuff in last one, man. Come on. We've we'd be fined $1000 by the sports radio gods if you didn't ask about to Shawn Watson, they're, um right now. Ian Rappaport came on our show early this morning. And he said, Uh, he said, hunker down. There's gonna be a long one. There's no this ain't happening tomorrow, the same happening Wednesday, the same happening Thursday. Hey, said I was. You know, Houston might not trade him. I mean, you know, just kind of taken sticking, licking your fingers, sticking it out the window. You know, you read the Internet's gonna be rife with trade scenarios. And the most sexy one is Nick Bosa. And draft picks for dish on Where are you at Right now on the dish on 0 M with the Niners. Yeah. I mean, I think that if if that's a possibility, I mean for years have toe I can't say that they got to be all in. I mean, you know, parting ways with Bo said that that's a tough that's a real tough and obviously I would think that you know, with Nick a stereo there. You know, Jimmy Garoppolo would be thrown into the mix. You're not keeping. You know, Garoppolo and Shawn Watson. Um, so I mean, that's yeah. I mean, I agree. I mean, it's something that monitor and I would I would imagine. We'll know by the middle of March when the new league year starts, which way that's going and if the new head coach and In Houston. Can can, you know? Just whether he can Build, rebuild that bridge with the dish on Watson and let him know that that this is a place that he wants.
KNBR The Sports Leader
"mike mcdaniel" Discussed on KNBR The Sports Leader
"Season right before he becomes a free Asian cow. You check fits that Mark and, um you know, it was so few teams looking for fullbacks, you'd think. Okay, the 40 Niners. You're gonna be his best shooter, his best spot by far. It was interesting today. Mike Silver of ESPN had a report that if Raheem Morris got a head coaching job, he would bring Mike McDaniel with him to be His offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel is the 40, Niners run game coordinator and Kyle use check has spoken very highly of McDaniel over the years adores. McDaniel is always impressed by his his game plans. McDaniel went to Yale use check went to Harvard. They've got the Ideally, connection. So I mean, my point is that Yeah, that's kind of follow where some of these assistance wind up. And if Mike McDaniel winds up either with Sala or with Raheem Morris or somebody, um, that team, I think automatically becomes the 40 Niners. Biggest competition for Kyle Use check and call you sick. Um, he said this. I mean, the last time he went through free agency, he was a single guy. Sort of Footloose and fancy free. He's now married. They have their off season home on Long Island. So I think all that plays into his decision, and it's not quite as easy, easy a decision as it was four years ago for him. A lot of business certainly to do in the off season for the whole league. But the first order of business is, you said, is the situation with the coaches and who you know they may take on their staff. And how does that impact free agency in the whole deal? So What's the latest on what we know involving Robert solid? The Falcons did interview him yesterday. He has one scheduled Later in the week with the Lions. We've heard Jacksonville there six openings in total, and I'm trying to come up with a match. We're An owner, or, you know, a couple of these spots. Don't even have a GM in place yet, you know that would make critical calls here are still open, many of them Um, have you got a spot where you think? Is the most likely for scenario for Sala mad because I think everybody thinks he's gonna get a job. He's gonna get a job. I'm not sure he is going to get a job this year. Well, you know, solid. The thing that's always got going against him is that he's a defensive coach. And so most of these teams will want offensive coaches. A lot of these teams air are firing defensive coaches. I mean, look at, uh, Atlanta fired in Ah, defensive coach. Um, you know, several others as well. And and so you often want to do the opposite. You know, you want to get somebody different in their succeeding the guy that you just just fired a Sephora solid. I mean, I would say that The Lions are probably the most likely that that's my guest. Everybody seems to think that Jacksonville wants to go within all offensive coach Urban Meyer has been Prominent name there. Um, but you know, that would be to me. That would be the worst case scenario for the 40. Niners Have Sala wound up in Jacksonville. That's a team with the most salary cap space of any team Salo would bring with him. Probably Michael Flor, the other Shanahan lieutenant. And so, um all of a sudden, you've got a defensive coach in an offensive coach that are looking for their types of guys with scads of salary cap space, so The Jaguars in that scenario would be by far the 40 Niners. Biggest competition for guys like us check for everyone, basically, who's a free agent on this roster? So, um, But I do think that Detroit is probably the best. The best spot for him. I don't think Atlanta it would be a great spot because they just got rid of. Ah, you know, UH, defensive coach Dan Quinn, who has ties to the Seattle system, and that's what Robert Shala is so people would say, Oh, you just kind of replicating the guy that you just got rid of. So I've heard that Houston also will have interest in solid cardinal save filed the paperwork at this point, but that zit possibility as well. Well, that you just mentioned it just kind of go through this. McDaniel could lose your run game coordinator passing him coordinate your defensive coordinator Adam Peters. Obviously, Carolina's They said yesterday is gonna wanna talk to him and John Elway just elevated himself up. And now he needs GM. Peters makes a heck of a lot of sense there. You can use that guy. Martin may use another guy that I mean, they could lose a boatload of guys here. Not that they can't replace those guys. I understand that. But a team that's coming off a six and 10 season to replace all those different coaches and the challenges they have with the cap and signing all these players, as you said, And then the quarterback situation. This is gonna be a crazy offseason, especially if they lose all those guys. Yeah. And then this is the first domino show. You have to find out where these coaches where these G m's goes, and then that's gonna provide a road map for where your competition is going to be in pre agency among the players, So, um, yeah, it's it's strange six and 10 team. Um, bludgeoned by by injuries, he would think that you know, one. You know, the good news scenario is that at least other teams aren't knocking down the door for for the 40 Niners, But that doesn't seem to be the case. It reminds me of 2005. That was Mike Nolan's first year here, and they were terrible that season, and yet they lost Mike McCarthy, the offensive coordinator, toe you know the Green Day. Head coaching job and that kind of set in motion several straight years, like four or five straight years, where it with a new offensive coordinator every year, and they never had any stability at that spot. Alex Smith had no such stability. And so they had one bad season after another. So you never know you can't count on not being pilfered even if you have a rotten season. On. That appears to be the case for the 40 Niners. Battle has always great stuff during the season. I'm sure we'll talk to you throughout the offseason as well. And for the last time Happy New Year always appreciate it. Guys. I'll talk to you soon. Thank you Human. The athletic doesn't awesome job covering the Niners.
