  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a slum lord.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That's that's one of the many, many hats that I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: like to wear.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Mike, Yeah, it's been a while. How are you?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I know, man, I know, I dude, I've misworking with you.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I always had a blast, you know. It's I always
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: appreciate the invite to come.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: On and chopping up with you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: So things are good. It's so busy because you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you're on the precipice of the Super Bowl week. I was
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: just down in Dallas for the East West Shrine Bowl.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Lander Barton, by the way, a guy who had some
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: good practices who I think the fan base, certainly in Felt.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Lake City will be familiar with him.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: So that was good to see. I was likeways, brings
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a smile on my face when it's some you know, well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I say, packed twelve.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I know Utah is not there anymore, but you get
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: my point.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: They'll always be that way in my heart.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: It's just, you know, it's it's been a busy time,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: you know. By the way, it's also.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: It was nine degrees in Dallas and Sean you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I live in Socow now it's been twelve years in
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the state of California. I don't handle the cold like
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I used to, and I lived in the Northeast, so
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a different vibe. But honestly, man,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's great to be with you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this Super Bowl matchup. The
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks are I think they're one of these teams
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: where when you look at how they have played, it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. If you just look at the roster
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on paper and you look at a relatively new head coach,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you're like, how the hell did these guys get here
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: with this group? Because it's not this like megaflex superstar
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: driven roster. When you see the how and why of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Seattle got there, how do you explain it?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's really impressive. Number One, I think was there eight
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: total vacancies this offseason at the head coaching spot, And
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think all eight of those teams.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Whether they have their coach or they're still looking.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: For the head coach, are all hoping for the type
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: of impact that Mike McDonald have had on Seattle a
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: very short period of time. Like I would also make
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a case for Ben Johnson. I think there's now and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: once again i'd almost make a case and sometimes these
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: are outlier situations. Mike Rabel as well. I do think Tennessee,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: for example, as a team with Robert Salad, that's going
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to look a whole lot like like what we saw
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: from New England. I'm not saying they're going to go
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to the super Bowl, but I think the amount of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: spending that New England and was impressive. But getting back
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to your original question on Seattle, what Mike McDonald was
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: able to accomplish as a coordinator in Baltimore, and we
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: saw what happened when Zach Word took over the last
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: couple of campaigns didn't necessarily look the same. I think
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: injuries this past season part of that with the Ravens,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: but a different type of culture that was set.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: And it's not a knock on Pete.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Carroll, who I think is a future Hall of Fame
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Hall of Famer in his own right and did a
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: remarkable job. I mean, the guy won the Super Bowl
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: with Seattle like he knew what he was doing there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: But John Scheider, their general manager, the roster construction has
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: been nothing short of spectacular. You can point to different deals.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: The one that certainly is really paid dividends is Rashid Shaheed.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I think there's teams that hope and pray at the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: trade deadline if they pulled the trigger on a move
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: that they get that type of impact from the player
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: that they go and acquire. I think, you know, looking
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: back at that San Francisco game, that return for a
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: touchdown that was your part. That was like a tsunami,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and I felt like San Francisco never got an opportunity
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to come up for air. I mean, it was a
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: title wave in their direction and it didn't it didn't
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: go their way.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: But to me, this is as impressive.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: A year as you're going to see. They have been
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: a dominant football team. They've won different ways, whether it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: special teams, their defense. When Sam hasn't played well, their
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: defense is stepped up. You know, at times when he's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: had to make critical throws. I think there's people that
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: still probably doubt his ability to do so, and yet
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: he's been able to win them some games. So this
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is this is a very very complete team, and I
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: don't think anyone should be surprised right now that they're
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: playing for a championship.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: What lesson should we the NFL football fanler, maybe other
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: NFL teams, What lesson is there to learn from the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold trajectory, and I guess, to a lesser extent,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the Mike Rabels trajectory as well. But but Sam Darnold specifically,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: for now, what should we learn from what we have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: seen from him? Jets more pointedly, for me, Vikings move
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: on and then it's like Seattle Bite win a super
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Bowl with him?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: It's wild.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And you know, I made reference to the East West
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: shrinebole and I got an opportunity to talk to a
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: couple of different quarterbacks that were down there. I think
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: maybe the most notable is Kid club Nick, who obviously
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: had success at Clemson. And I've had this conversation Sean.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I think you and I have even talked about this
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on some of the shows that we've worked together on
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: over the years. But you know, some of the other
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: guys that you know have played in the league, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you start doing the evaluations. And I have heard this
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: so many times and I am such a believer in it, and.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: It makes total sense to me.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: But why fit matters for a team, and not just
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: fit at the quarterback spot, but more specifically the staff
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and the coaches that are around you.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: You can't say enough about.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Having a guy.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: God.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I remember I had this conversation with EJ. Manual and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Dowork's at ESPN does a ton of stuff over there,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and he did the combine with us a few years ago.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: That was Bryce Young and CJ. Strouds here at NFL Network,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and I remember having this exact conversation. He said, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I got to a spot and I don't know if
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I was put in the best spot to succeed. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I guess his point was understanding my skill set coaches
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: who a believed in me but also knew how to
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: put me in a position to succeed. He goes, there's
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of brilliant minds in the NFL, and sometimes
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: from a coaching perspective, they're only able to execute with
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a player that can do things their way, and sometimes
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the coaches don't necessarily adapt to the actual player. Now,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I think the case for Sam had maybe that's a
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: part of it. But I also look at an offensive line,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you know, in New York when he played for the Jets,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: that was a revolving door. I don't know how consistent
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that wide receiver group was in his time with the Jets,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and I think once he got a better offensive line,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: once he got a defense, once he got arguably you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the best line receiver in the game, by the way,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and he's played with Justin Jefferson and now JSM. You
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: can make an argument it's like, okay, like he showed
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: everyone what he could do in Minnesota, and that's why
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it's wild that they ended up moving.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: On from him. I do get it because of the
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: business of.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: The NFL and Jajon McCarthy in his draft stock. But
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to me, I think it's as simple as two things
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: fit with an organization and the coaches that are around you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Mike Yam is our guest NFL Networks Mikeyam for end
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of the program talking all things in the league.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So on the other side you have Mike Rabel, who
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: got the coach's treatment that Sam Darnold got as a player,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: basically where maybe blame was misassigned, maybe fit was the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: most important thing.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: No surprise.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I think for many that the place where he has
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: had so much success as a player is also a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: spot where now he's back in the super Bowl, this
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: time as a head coach. But is there a lesson
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to be learned there? I like if I'm a Vikings
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: fan or a Titans fan right now now, I'm watching
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: these two prominent faces that were once part of my
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: organization on their way to a super Bowl and looking
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: at my front office and going, what are we doing
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: making those types of decisions?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really it's wild. And Sean, you were cutting
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: out there, and I know I heard a couple of
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: the names that could dropped out, But.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: What was the team that you were referring to?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: The Titans? Uh?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, because Rabel, right, they had him and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: then he yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but here here's what I'd say about Tennessee. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I threw this out and I kind of name checked
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: them because I think there's a real path for the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Titans to have a similar trajectory next season. And I
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: think there's a lot of pressure right now in the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: front office to be able to do what we saw
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: in New England.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Do I don't know.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: If the story is told enough in my mind about Look,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Rabel deserves credit, but I also look at the Patriots
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: who spent about two hundred and fifty million dollars hit
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: a ton of cap space this past year. If you
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: just compare Rock Rabel aside roster this year roster last year.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: It looks like a completely different team.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that able to deserve credit. He
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: certainly does. And I think we saw that in his
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: time in Tennessee, Like it's a really good football coach,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and sometimes messages don't always always resonate. I think that
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: sala is then a good spot. There was a report,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: and Sean, you know this because I'm from the Northeast,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I'm a Giants fan and I'm ecstatic about Horrball. But
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: there was a moment there was a report that popped
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: up that Harball was going to watch film on Jackson,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Dard and cam Ward. And I think on face value,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: you say, like, really like you, you'd actually consider Tennessee
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: considering that record, considering the lack of personnel that's there.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to sound like a fan
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: like the Giants roster on paper is better than the
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Titans roster, right, I mean you talk about just name
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: value alone. Malik Davors if he's healthy. You got a
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: left tackle in Andrew Thomas, you got really nice pieces
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: on the defensive side like that. Giants roster's not devoid
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: of talent. And I'm sitting there going, well, Hardwell's looking
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: to have tape of cam Ward I love, by the
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: way as a quarterback. I think there's real upside. But
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I think John sat there and said, now, I think, look,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: you pay the guy one hundred million dollars and you
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: know it's a great deal and he's going to have
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: so much control. But for a moment, I said to myself,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: whoever gets that Titans job, like they're going to be
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: in a position to have major success in year one
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: with all the cap space that the Tennessee Titans now have,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: any spending spree could be pressure to go and execute
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: right and like find the right guys that are there.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: But I think beyond just and Sean, you know this
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: because you played, like what's that old adage, It's not
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: just about the x's and o's, it's about the Jimmys
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and joe's. And right now, Tennessee.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Did have a whole lot of jimmys and joe's. Last
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: year's Patriots team didn't have a whole lot of jimmys
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: and joe's.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: So do I think they's been elevated with a guy
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: like Josh McDaniels, by the way, as their offensive coordinator
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: who has worked magic in as an OC versus his
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: time as the head coach. Sure, but I do think
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: that roster has been dramatically elevated from last year to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Which part of the massive spin of this year's coaching carousel.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Has intrigued you or surprised you the most? Which move
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: do you think bears fruit the quickest.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Fool? So all right, I do think I mentioned Tennessee.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: You know how I feel about about the Giants and Harboss,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: So like I'll just say those two. How about just
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: like a surprise in general, And I think that's not
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: just like what happens with you know, a leader of
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: the Raiders, But I also think you know, their general
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: manager in spytech, like what he does with the number
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: one overall pick. Like I would tell you if you look,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and there's a reason why they have the top pick,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and I get that, so it's not breaking news. But
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: if you look at the Raiders roster, like to me,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: it's one of the most intriguing storylines, and you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: maybe it's you know, Kuby actually gets that job, which
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: by the way, I think would be a good fit there.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: But I think there's so many questions, do you believe
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza as a franchise quarterback? By the way, success
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: at the college level does not guarantee success at the
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: NFL level.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: And I'm not saying he's not going to be successful.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying you you're going to put a whole
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: lot of shifts at the center of the table when
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: you have not had success at the quarterback spot. Do
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: you feel the pressure to go and say take Fernando
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: because you need a quarterback. He's what everyone says is
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the best guy. Or do you truly believe that this
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: guy can deliver for this franchise that is really devoid
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: of talent. Like I think you can make a case
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: that that offensive line was maybe the worst that we've
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: seen in the NFL. Ashton Gent heading into last year,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I thought could be your offensive rookie of the year.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: And yet every time I watch one of those games,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: every time he got the ball in the backfield, he
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: was met basically as he was getting the football, like
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: there was no room for him to operate. You know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: like you talk about running back, tight ends and Crosby,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: what else.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Is on that roster?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: So for as much as we talk about head coach,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: and I know that's what you asked me about. I
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: think this next few weeks here, the most intriguing storylines
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: really revolve around what the Raiders do, not only with
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: their head coach, but the decision around that number one
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: pick and keeping it or training down to fill multiple holes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Mike, I know we got to let you go.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I do want to flex a little bit here and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: tell you that I have been invited to do a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: guest lecture for a master's class at Fordham and you
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: are like the only person, You're the only person in
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: my sphere that will care about that at all.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Well are you serious?
