  Speaker 1: Bias Sean O'Connell show, you were home of the best
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: inside of your yeats. Let's get back to OC from
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Murdoch Chevrolet studio of the ESPN seven hundred yet
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: ninety two to one a f M.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of great football weekends in the year.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if any are better than this one.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Starting last night, college football playoff semi final, tonight, another
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: college football playoff semi final, this weekend NFL playoff games
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: that you can hear right here on ESPN seven and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: ninety two one FM. And joining us to talk about
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: those things. Sean sayed from Summer Sports at say Ed
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Schemes on Twitter.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Sewan, welcome to the show. How are you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great. As you mentioned, you know, this is
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: going to be a really awesome weekend at football. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: think sometimes in a while for a weekend, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: it can be a little bit disappointing. But I am
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: pretty psyched about all six of these games.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Which one sparks your interest most?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: The Bill Jaguars one is It's fascinating to me. Look,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: I think there's a decent argument that either of these
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: teams could win the AFC, and for them to have
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: to play in round one where Josh Allen of course
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: is going to get the narrative of all the like
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Lamar and Mahomes. All these guys aren't in the playoffs.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Brow isn't there either. It's got to be your chance.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: But to watch Jacksonville sort of grow this year after
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: really trading for du Kobe Myers, who I think people
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: don't think of as this like top end receiver in
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: the league at all, But to have him unoff the
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: offense like I need it now, I really really wouldn't
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: be able to watch it as soon as possible.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Jags are the higher seed, but right now the Bills
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: are the betting favorite, very slight betting favorite, and this
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: game is in Jacksonville.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Does Vegas have it right or wrong?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: You know? I feel like there's a reasonal life. You know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Vegas has all of these beautiful casinos and all these things, right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: like they they get to just take everyone with somebody
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: for all these I'm glad that I think it builds
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: one and an half right now. Like that I think
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: does make a lot of sense to me. I feel like,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: not getting that agadvice, I kind of lean towards the Jaguars, though,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I just think that the way that they have played
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: defense this year, where they're able to create these explosive
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: you know, turnovers, are able to get fats, the linebacks
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: are playing at a high level, and even when the
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Jaguars offense, I think they haven't been able to run
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: the ball that well, which that's where I think the
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Bill's defense really struggles. I've really enjoyed Liam Cohen for sure,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: head coach there. Well, he's put together on that offense.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: So I think they're kind of lean towards the Jags
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: a little bit there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the biggest there's a lot of games that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the spreads very very close here. What's the biggest mismatch
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: in this wild card round for you?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I mean it's easy to say the Rams versus the Panthers,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: like that does really feel like a big, a real,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: real big one. I think there's a bunch of ones
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: where it's like, like the Texans defense versus Steelers offense.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: That feels like a mismatch to me where we will
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: get DK Metcalf back, So I think that should open
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: things up at least a little bit for the Steelers.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: But Texans defense is absurd like they are a crazy,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: crazy unit. And the way that Aaron Rodgers has wanted
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: to play this year is cat small, get it out.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: He wants to keep things moving as quick as possible.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: It feels like, you know, there is a chance that
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the Texans defense can just really overwhelm the Steelers offense.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: When we talk about Texas the Texans defense, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: there's the team versus the scheme, and obviously a lot
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of your presence, a lot of what you do. You're
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: very good at breaking down schemes and figuring out the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: tactical matchups and things like that. Of course, coaches will
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: always tell you, yeah, x's and o's matter, but players
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: matter even more. How much of their defensive skill, prowess,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: dominance comes from the personnel versus the scheme.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: It's certainly a good amount from the personnel itself. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: do think the personnel allows you to play a scheme
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: where look, they do get, you know, some funky pressure looks,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: but a lot of times they're going to be playing cover.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: They're going to have forty defenders, they're going to have
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: three underneath defenders. They're going to be able to blitz
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: you with or just not cast the Blizzy, We're just
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: four pass rushers are going to be able to get
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: after you. So I think because their personnel is so good,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: they can play a specific scheme that I mean, they
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: trust their cornerbacks so so much as they should because
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: they're awesome. But I think if you ask the coaches there,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I think everyone knows that, like, you're able to do
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: this because you have multiple All pros on multiple levels
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: in this defense.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So I'm a forty nine ers guy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: They start with the Eagles and they're the injury attrition
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: that they've experienced. It's not just a lot of players,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: but it's a lot of really really good players. Did
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers have a shot against this Eagles team?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, they definitely have a shot. Like I don't
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: want to say that, oh this is this is like
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: an easy tas win, just because the Eagles offense has
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: struggled a lot in situations that they should not have struggled,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and I love the Eagles defense. I also love watching
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Kyle shanahand draw things up on offense. So just because
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: we all watch, you know, the Seattle Sea off field
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: to totally shut down the Sam Desco forty nine Ers
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean, the Eagles are going to be able to
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: do that. Now. I do think that the Eagles are
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: going to win this game. I would be a little
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: bit surprised if the forty nine ers are able to
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: pull up this kind of upset, just because, as you mentioned,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I mean that defense, like you're online after like six
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: seven and eight, You're pulling out people from the practice
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: squad for a huge, huge playoff game at the Link
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: in Philadelphia. I think it's a tall, tall task. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: could see a pass to it, and if that happened,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: then I'm in the conversations at Philadelphia. There there are
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of ones that are going to be had.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I'm always curious about that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, we know it's a tough sports market
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: from a fan perspective in Philadelphia, and it wasn't so
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: long ago that everyone was like, Sirianni got to get
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: him out of here.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Well, then he wins you a super Bowl.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: People didn't fall in love with Jalen Hurts, but then
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he's a Super Bowl MVP. And it feels like even
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with those accomplishments, there are folks in that group that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the city's not sold on yet. How why, I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you've when they've delivered the ultimate prize. How greedy the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: can you get as a fan?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Like I love the city of Philadelphia, I have to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: admit that to you. I spent a lot of time
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: there during my life. I enjoyed talking to people. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: enjoyed talking to the fans. It is it's kind of awesome,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: like for you to kind of expect this greatness over
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: and over and to be so spoiled with all these
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: playoffs appearances back to back to back to back, seemingly.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: No matter what.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: And I will say, like, the defense is so good,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and with vic Fango there of course at kind of
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: the later part of his career, I just don't want
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: to see the defense wasted and like, Okay, look, you
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: know we both watch teams every week where team have
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: no chance like that is going to happen just based
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: on the roster, based on situations. But the ego Bofman's
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: just like the most high the highest paid offense in
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: all of football, Like they are extremely talented. I think
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: it's more an expectations thing where you don't have to
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: be offense number one, but for you to be like
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: league and outside the top ten with dat grub, with
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: hur At the Super Bowl NDT with Brown or awesome
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: receiver with Devonte Smith who for a lot of teams
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: would be a number one receiver one of the most
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: talented offensive lines in the league. I think it's like
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: almost an expectations thing. But yeah, you know, I can
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: tell my friends that Philly, yeah, don't forget you got
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: that a super Bowl last year.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Sean say it is our guest here on the Sean
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: O'Connell Show talking this upcoming weekend of NFL playoffs, So
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you know it as well as I, probably better than I.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Quarterback play is everything in the sport of football, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you've got an interesting little mix here with this playoff field.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: You've got guys that are already considered among the best
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in the league but have yet to win their Super Bowl.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You've got a couple of veterans who have won Super
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Bowls and are kind of the elder statesman here. You
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: got a smattering of young quarterbacks who haven't really really
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: been here before.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be kind of a prove it thing.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: When we talk about the quarterback play specifically, who is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: going to shine?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Who do you worry about?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: We just talked about the Eagles and I'm curious, what
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: you know, do we get the jail and hurts just
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: like the playoff runs that he had last season. The
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Chargers Patriots game, that's an interesting one for me because
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: those are two quarterbacks that I mean, I just love
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: watching them play football. Like Drake May has played so
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: well this year. To me, he's the MVP of the
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: league this season. I think that it's a chance for
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: him to be able to like, if you win the MVP,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: he makes a little bit of a run in the
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: playoffs in a year where you know, people I think
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: me as they thought maybe you could win some games,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: but didn't really see you as a contender. To me,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: like this, this could be the Drakes Bay playoffs, which
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: is crazy, Like this is a year or two and
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: first year it went Rabel for the Patriots who was
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: seeking the spoiled franchises. You go from Tom Brady obviously
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: for such a long time, yet you have a few
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: rough years. But now you have a guy in Drake
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: May who has impressed me so much and how he's
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: matured in the way that he plays in the pocket.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: He is a super super athlete, but he looked so
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: clean and so polished just being a year or two.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just love watching Drake Mett, so yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: that's the spot that I'm looking at. And do they
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: get bounced on? So I don't think they'll lose to
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: the Chargers, but could be a fun one going through
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the playoffs this year.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: What do you expect from the Steelers and Aaron Rodgers?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I expect the first round loss for those guys. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: just think it's it's I mean, obviously very appos to
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: that that they won the division, like that is a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: great accomplishment, But their offense, it's like, well, we need
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: to get the ball, so it can be a low
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: time to throw offense, where like the ball's out right away,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: you're not able to get kind of every part of
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: your offense, like the run game. Yeah, I think it
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: had a pretty good game at times against the Ravens,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: but I don't think it threatens people in the same
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: way that you would hope for it to be as
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: kind of the core of your offense. So, I mean,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I feel like a first round exit and doesn't have
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: kind of any ramifications or implication. I don't know. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: think there's a real estate chance that it doesn't and
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: then we kind of you know, you run it back
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: and then you're in a similar situation where it's like, hey,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: we're kind of nine and eight fighting for the division
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: kind of like almost has a lifestyle for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You don't think that Tomlin feels any heat for that,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: or I guess you would feel it, but you don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: think it makes there's a change made. If Mike Tomlin
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: gets ousted in the first round.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Again, I wouldn't.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I guess I'd be surprised if there was a change
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: because like that, to me, it feels like what happened
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: in Baltimore, Like I think similar things are happening right
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: where It's like is like do you just need a
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: new voice? Like is everything kind of connecting? But like
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: okay to me, like do you want to be kind
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: of a year late or a year early on this?
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sure. I think that's for
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you to choose. I wouldn't be curious just to just
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to see Tomlin in a new environment or just to
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: see someone else kind of with that Pittsburgh Steelers group,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: like what does it look like? You know Tomlin, he
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: always has his guys ready to play, So that is
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: one thing where you know, if they do find a
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: way to beat the Texans, I guess I'll look like
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: a fool, but I'll feel like, all right, I mean,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: he just keeps on doing it, so I think maybe
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: he feels a little heat. But uh, I guess because
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: it just hasn't happened yet, I'm like, all right, Well,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: he's just going to be there until the end of time.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Are you a believer in the Chicago Bears?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Sean So, I love the Shivers offense. I will say
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: that I think that I'm excited about how Caleb Williams
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: has grown, asking Ben Jnson is one of the ones,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: like he is a special special play designer and play caller.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I think though, that the way that they've won so
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: many like not just close games, like crazy close games,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: like the closest of the closest of the closest kind
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: of game going down to the wire, and their defense
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: has really been able to play well by creating turnovers
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: and turnovers. It's just not always predictable, Like I can't
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: always predict Hey, in game number two, you're gonna get
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: three passes that just deflect off for receivers hands and
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: end up in your hands. So I could definitely see
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: them winning in Week one. I'm not personally buying in
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: to the Bears because I think the fundamentals of their
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: team tell me that, hey, this is this is a
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: really strong team. But for them to make a run,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I think it might be a little bit kind of
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: against what we've seen so far this season. I kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: of hope they win, though, but it would be fun
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to just keep Boston Ben Johnson call plays.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: All right, we know that what the playoff field looks
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: like now, but how many teams are actual super Bowl contenders?
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Actual championship contenders in your mind?
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Both the one seeds are are real contenders. I think
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks more than the Broncos in my mind. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: think the Rams are a serious connender. I think the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Eagles are a serious contender. And after that, you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: it gets a little like the Bills and the jag
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: They have to be I think Ralph contenders too. So
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I do think it's It's like a part of me
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: and when I'm watching they are looking at the schedule,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: it's like, well, all these teams could legitimately make the
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: super Bowl, and I kind of think that's true. But
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: then you look at our there is a cure break
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: here where you of course have like the a team
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: like the Sea Offfs, the Rams, the Eagles, I think
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: on the NFC side, the Bills of Jaguars on the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: ASC side, and the Broncos. That's where I think. You know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: my head starting to lean.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: So you're, if I'm reading you correctly, you think it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: an NFC winner eventually.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: You know, I've thought about that too hard, But I
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: think so. It's hard for me to bet against Josh Allen,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Like I still kind of don't want to do that,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: but you know what, I'll say now, and I will
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I will reserve the right to maybe change my mind
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: before the game starts tomorrow. But I think so, Like
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I think the Eagles, if they figured anything out of
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: offensive I've been saying for eighteen weeks and really for
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: three years, like, I think that they still have the
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: ability to get there. And I think maybe if the
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Rams and the Seahawks play again, the winner of that game,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I feel like I trust the Rams a little bit more.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I know Sam Barrel's improved. I'd be curious just how
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: his run goes through the rest of the season, even
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: with having an awesome defense, so I think I'm leading
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: towards the NFC.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean said for another couple of minutes here he's
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: from sumer Sports SAIAD Schemes on Twitter if you're not
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: already following, all right, the the offseason stuff is equally fascinating,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and some teams are firmly into their offseason now with
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a need to hire new coaches. A full fourth of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the NFL is without a head coach. And I've been
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: asking all of our NFL guests this. Somebody calls you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and says you can have any one of these jobs.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Which one you're taken? Which is the best available job?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: This is fantastics. I think you're gonna ask me which
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I head coached it. I don't want to, but in
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: the right spot, the Ravens like the opportunity to work
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: with Lamar Jackson is is thrilling, like I think it
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: has to be that before they felt a little bit harder.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna remove the Ravens for guests a second, because
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: part of me thought, all right, well, the Falcons are
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: going to be competitive for that division every year, no
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: matter what the Giants like in a situation where they
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: do have a bunch of pretty good players on that
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: team and a good draft picker. I'm not sure you
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: have one hundred percent buy into Jackson Dart, but I
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: feel like maybe you know you have the roster that
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: can be either in Tennessee. I do like camp Ward,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: so I think from the ones that are available right now,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, I am I am tripping over myself. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: am calling my agent's agent to call every single person
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: in the state of Maryland about that Ravens job. Thinking
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: about the organizational the infrastr for that is built and
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: so strong there and yeah, you start to hear the
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: words coming out about Lamar here and there. The guys
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: went to MVPs like I can do worse than a
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: quarterback that had two MVPs.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that'd be all right because you picked
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the Ravens job. Look, we were speaking with a couple
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of former Ravens and they're like, Dude, Harbaugh, he's such
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: so hard to replace.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Do they go with like a scheme guy?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Do they go with one of these Wunderkin type play
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: callers or a Jesse mintor type that's more of like
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the culture type guy. What do you think Baltimore does
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: with that vacancy.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: You know, I would like them to go with Mintor,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: like I really would, because I just I really love
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: what Jesse Minterer does talking to people that have you know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: have learned from him and have been taught by him,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: and in the way that he looks at defense, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I think that he is the combination of a scheme
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: guy and an organizational type guy where I think his
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: rolodex is going to be pretty big in terms of
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: the people that he'll be able to bring in on
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: your that when I look at like his defense and
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald's defense, to me, Mike McDonald is a little
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: bit more or Kennedy like, more showy I think at
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: times in terms of like his fanciness on in the
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: scheme world. But I lean a little bit more towards McDonald,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: even though I really liked minterest as well. So I
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: would like to see that. I would like to see
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: that with Mike McDaniel as the offensive coordinator, because we
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: talked about Mike McDaniel and Miami with TUA and you're
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: not able to do this or not able to do that,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Mike mc daniel with Lamar Jackson designing the run game.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm getting excited. You know, I may have
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: to I may have to put some some more thoughts
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: out into the world where it's Minter and McDonald are
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: sign McDaniel together in Baltimore.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Who's going to hire John Harbaugh?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Because it seemed like, well, I mean hilariously, right after
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: he was separated from his duties, the report came out
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that there are currently six vacant seasons. Seven teams have
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: reached out to John Harbaugh already.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Who's going to hire him?
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Look As a former lawer myself, you know, I do
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: love a little wordplay there. We're we're really, we're really,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: We're not even hiding the ball. We're talk you straight
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: up for like, for the fun of it. I would
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: love for him to say a division and goes to
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: the Crowns. I think that would be pretty cool just
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: for him as to play the Ravens all the time,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: because the Giants, it seems like that that is a
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: place where it makes sense. Just because I think you
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: like you're uprooting culture, you are really really changing things
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. I'm curious to sizo. Does
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Harball really want to bring his own general manager. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: think he's probably going to have the ability to do that,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: So that eliminated that might eliminate New York unless they
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: fired Joe Shane and then move Onston and for Harball.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Of course, Cleveland has Andrew Berry in place. Even Tennessee, right,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: you have Worganzi in place there. I don't think he's
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: going to go to the Raiders because I think he
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: has kind of his pick of multiple places, and I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: not sure that's going to be the one that he
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: ends up. So I guess right now I lean towards
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: the Giants think him and Kevin Stefanski are going to be.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: It's going to be really interesting to see where those
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: guys land this cycle.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You mentioned the Raiders. They've become.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: You know, they're one of the close they are the
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: closest geographical proximity NFL team to our market here in
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Salt Lake, and so there's some interest with that. But
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: it looks like kind of a bad job right now,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and one of those organizations, akin to the Browns and
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the Jets, that just can't get out of their own way.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: What's it going to take to turn the Raiders around.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: It's not like they don't have any talent on the roster.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the kind of beauty in the NFL
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: is if you draft a good quarterback, kind of everything
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: solves itself for a lot of points. Yes, you know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: you have to put a lot of other things in place.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Of course, you're gonna have to have so many other
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: things go right for you at different levels to really
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: be able to reach the full potential. But yeah, the
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: first overall pick, you're probably gonna pick fandom and those
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: I assume more more from Oregon, Like if that takes
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: a hit, then I mean that's just like that changes
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: your whole franchise. We talk about the Patriots, right, you
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: get Greg Mayn there, and now it's like, all right,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: look at that jade nails. Even though last season was
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: such a struggle, that first year was so so special.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: So there are thirty two head coaching jobs going to
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: take it. Someone's gonna be lucky to take you that.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: There are so few and yes, there are a ton
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: of hurdles there to climb, but starts with the quarterback
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and ends of the quarterback. In this league, you hit
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: that pick with like you know, unfortunately, just based on
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: the numbers of how things have worked out, that pick
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: is kind of like like like a fifty to fifty
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: coin flot. No matter what kind of who you pick
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: up that spot at the quarterback position, there is a
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: chance that, hey, you're turning things around pretty quickly.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Sean can't tell you how much I appreciate your time today.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Keep up the great work you and everyone over there
• 19:31

• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Football Integration lead, He's got his stats and scheme newsletter.
• 19:51

• 19:53
  Speaker 2: different lenses, makes it really really interesting.
