You're going to have a ton of money to spend.
0:01
Why not put it in one of the top three offensive players in the
0:13
league? We're going to be looking at
0:14
Aaron George and saying that he can't win the big game, Michael
0:17
Jordan said. I played 82 games.
0:20
You don't see LeBron doing that. A game where you got to go
0:23
before I told you giant feet. Saquon Barkley, at this point,
0:28
say 631-672-3108 is the number to
1:39
call. You're listening to Jabba and
1:44
the mouth. My name is Errol Marx.
1:46
My Co hosts are Mr. Flamethrower himself in a new year.
1:52
He's hanging, he's dangling, hopefully not dangling in
1:56
different areas. Ladies and gentlemen, Java
1:59
Chamberlain and the one they call Speedy.
2:03
Hopefully he's not hiding in his pants or hiding somewhere else
2:08
under the damn table. His legs are together and
2:11
hopefully not squeezing. You know what, Mr. Speedy PD,
2:16
you heard? I'm executive producer Mr. Aaron
2:18
Fish Fishman and on the board Mr. Tommy.

2:47
gentlemen, it was a bloody Black Monday in the NFL today as 4
2:54
head coaches were fired. Interesting one in the Browns.
2:58
But the Browns, the Raiders, the Falcons, the Cardinals join the
3:01
Titans and the Giants as teams that have head coaching openings
3:06
this offseason. The Browns fired Kevin Stefanski
3:09
after 6 six seasons with the team but have kept general
3:13
manager Andrew Berry. Stefanski won Coach of the Year
3:17
twice with the Browns in 2020 and 2023.
3:22
The Raiders moved on from Pete Carroll after only one season.
3:26
Reports say that the minority ownership and Fox Sports
3:30
broadcaster Tom Brady will have a lot of say in the Raiders next
3:35
head coaching choice. Bill Belichick, who knows the
3:38
Cardinals fired head coach Jonathan Gannon, who thought he
3:43
was safe earlier this week after the Cardinals disaster of a
3:48
season and a three and 14 record, Arizona will keep GM
3:53
Monty Oxford to pick their next coach.
3:58
The Falcons, after missing the playoffs for the eighth straight
4:02
year, fired both head coach Raheem Morris and general
4:05
manager Terry Fotnu after going 8-9.
4:09
Despite losing records, the Bengals, the Bucks and the
4:12
Dolphins are expected to keep to keep to keep to keep their
4:17
coaches Zach Taylor, Todd Bowles and Mike McDaniel who were all
4:22
on the hot seat this season. And to recap the regular season
4:28
league leaders Matthew Stafford led the league in passing yards,
4:32
4707 yards. GSN LED the LED in receiving
4:37
yards 1793 yards. James Cook led the rushing yards
4:42
1621. Miles Garrett set a new single
4:46
season record with 23 sacks. I'm not surprised on any of
4:51
these coaches except Kevin Stefanski.
4:55
Kevin Stefanski is a coach that is very well respect, very well
5:00
respected around the league. The Browns have not been a very
5:04
good offensive team. They've had backup quarterbacks
5:07
fill in for starting quarterbacks.
5:08
Deshaun Watson has really not done what he was expected to do
5:12
under Stefanski because he can't stay in the lineup because of
5:15
injuries and some of the back back end stories.
5:19
You know the rub and tug and all that other stuff with Deshaun
5:23
Watson. But I, I, I don't know if Shidor
5:26
Sanders was the reason why they had to fire Kevin Stefanski.
5:30
I don't believe Kevin Stefanski wanted Shidor Sanders.
5:34
As a matter of fact, I could believe that Stefanski never
5:37
wanted to start Shidor Sanders until he was forced by
5:41
ownership. Now Shidor Sanders, his jersey
5:44
is one of the highest sold jerseys in the NFLI.
5:47
Think it was 4th or 5th in all of the NFL.
5:51
But here's the facts guys, and I think you need to understand
5:53
this. They have never drafted right at
5:56
the quarterback position. Does anybody remember Tim Couch?
6:00
Tim Couch was a great college quarterback and he was a fairly
6:03
decent NFL quarterback. He wasn't good and we could go
6:07
down the list of quarterbacks over the years that they drafted
6:10
Baker Mayfield. They got it right with Baker.
6:13
They let him go after two or three seasons.
6:16
They let Baker go after the one season that he had where he was
6:21
one game away from going to an AFC title game against Kansas
6:24
City on a trick play by Andy Reid.
6:28
There was no surprise with any of Jonathan Gannon should be
6:31
gone. He should have been gone last
6:33
year. Raheem Morris.
6:35
Raheem Morris should have never been hired.
6:38
It should have been Bill Belichick.
6:39
Well, we could think. Well, I I think the Atlanta
6:42
Falcons in the organization should think Robert Kraft on
6:45
that move. I mean, Bill Belichick would be
6:49
the coach right now for the Atlanta Falcons.
6:50
Maybe the Atlanta Falcons would be in the playoffs today.
6:55
I was surprised that Todd Bowles still has his job.
6:59
Todd Bowles has not been good. His team has went from one of
7:04
the better teams in the NFC and one of the best one of the worst
7:08
divisions in all the football and fell out of the playoffs
7:12
with I know they didn't have Mike Evans and Godwin.
7:15
It can't stay healthy, but Ibuka has been one of the best rookies
7:19
in the league. I I know they lost their running
7:21
back, but injuries happen. Your defense, what you're known
7:25
for your defense. You're you're known for your
7:27
blitz packages. Why did your defense play up the
7:30
par this year? Why was your defense one of the
7:33
worst defenses in the NFL this year?
7:36
That has something to do with coaching and I know both his
7:40
offensive coordinators and Cohen went to the Jaguars and Canalis
7:43
went to the Carolina Panthers who both both teams are going to
7:47
the playoffs. Both teams looked very, very
7:49
good in certain aspects of their game this season and you could
7:53
see what type of coaches they were for Baker Mayfield.
7:56
There is no excuse for the lack of play and and really
8:01
regression of Baker Mayfield in the second-half of the season.
8:07
Baker Mayfield was not good in the second-half of the season.
8:10
As a matter of fact, there he made a lot of mistakes that you
8:13
wonder if bet why we were you talking about Baker Mayfield
8:17
being an MVP candidate at any point of the season.
8:21
In the first five games, Baker Mayfield was one of the
8:23
favorites, so is Dak Prescott. Remember that we were all
8:26
bragging how how good Baker Mayfield look looked.
8:30
And then in the second-half, I mean, injuries do happen, but
8:34
that that doesn't make any excuses.
8:36
I can name a bunch of quarterbacks that dealt with
8:38
injuries all season long, but found a way to put up numbers,
8:42
found a way to win. So there's no excuse.
8:46
So when you look at the list, Pete Carroll's old.
8:49
He's an old man. He should have never got this
8:52
job. But nobody wanted the Raiders.
8:55
Nobody wanted the Raiders. Now we'll see.
8:59
They have the number one pick and I think that was the reason
9:02
why they they decided to tell some of their players to sit
9:06
out. Brock Bauer sat out.
9:11
Crosby sat out. I think the main reason why was
9:15
this was going to be they wanted to make this an attractive
9:18
destination. And if you have the number one
9:20
pick and you're the coach and you get to pick who you want
9:23
your quarterback to be, well, that could probably draw a coach
9:27
to want to coach there with the Raiders, maybe.
9:32
But I'm not surprised. And by the way, Raheem Morris
9:35
has a ton of weapons. London Robertson, We've seen
9:41
Kyle Pitts this year. What you could do with Kyle
9:44
Pitts when he's in the open field, The size, the ability,
9:47
the speed that this man has. Romney Raheem Morris couldn't.
9:53
He found a way to use Kyle Pitts, but that's about all he
9:56
could do this season. Their defense they made, they
10:00
traded up. Remember in last year's draft,
10:03
they gave up what the next two years first round draft picks
10:06
for to move up in the first round to draft these two guys
10:10
and they were up and down all season long and that's it.
10:14
To me. Atlanta was reaching all season
10:17
long in a very bad division. Carolina.
10:20
This is the first time and what since I, I, I guess I, I think
10:24
it was the Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay Buccaneers that an 8 and nine
10:28
team wins a division. Think about that.
10:33
They were two, no, I'm sorry, 38 and 9 teams.
10:37
The Atlanta Falcons were 8:00 and 9:00, the Tampa Bay
10:40
Buccaneers were 8-9 and the Carolina Panthers were 8-9.
10:43
And the only reason why the Carolina Panthers made it in is
10:46
because, I guess because of how many times they beat both teams.
10:51
Carolina is not a good team, but I wouldn't be shocked if Canalis
10:55
shocks the world and knocks off who they matched up.
10:58
The Rams. The Rams?
10:59
Who knows? The Rams sometimes don't show up
11:03
to games. Sean McVay is a great offense of
11:06
mine. He's a great head coach.
11:07
But there are games just like Kyle Shanahan that he doesn't
11:10
show up. His play calling isn't good.
11:13
And I will say this about Carolina.
11:15
Carolina's defense has been as good of a defense as any team in
11:20
the NFC in the second-half of the season.
11:23
But I I'm not surprised with any of these moves.
11:26
I was surprised Zach Taylor still has a job and I the only
11:30
reason why I would think they kept Zach Taylor is for one
11:33
reason they want to keep Joe Burrow happy.
11:37
Joe Burrow and Zach Taylor have a good relationship they look
11:40
like they get along. Zach Taylor does what Joe Burrow
11:43
wants. I would believe that Zach Taylor
11:46
is Joe Burrows bitch. So I think that's why Zach
11:50
Taylor still has a job because out of any guy besides Raheem
11:54
Morris on this list and Gannon, this is the guy that should have
11:57
been fired. Zach Taylor should not have a
12:00
job. I don't care that a couple of
12:02
years ago they played in a Super Bowl, they didn't win, they
12:06
lost. OK.
12:09
And what the the Bengals did all season long, first of all, not
12:14
giving Trey Hendrickson until what, but before the season
12:17
started a contract where they gave him a $30 million and, and
12:22
pretty much telling him to go F himself.
12:26
To me speaks volume volumes of where the the Bengals are
12:31
looking when it comes to talent. They're not looking on the
12:33
defensive side of the ball. They want to make Joe Burrow and
12:35
Zach Taylor very, very happy. They could care less on the
12:38
defensive side of the ball. As far as Matthew Stafford,
12:43
Matthew Stafford to me has been the best quarterback in the NFL
12:46
all season long. He should win the MVP.
12:50
He should win with the the way that everything is set up, the
12:53
schedule. I think he's thrown seven or six
12:56
more touchdowns than Drake May and it's between both of them.
13:01
Congratulations to Mikey C being right, not 90% right, but right
13:06
about Drake May that he is going to end up a top five quarterback
13:10
this year. I don't know about next year,
13:12
but congratulations to Matthew Stafford, who I believe is the
13:14
MVP of the NFL. He had 1793 yards.
13:19
Congratulations to JSN and he he was sensational all season long
13:22
and one of the reasons why I believe Seattle is one of the
13:25
favorites of winning the whole thing going into the playoffs
13:29
this year. James Cook was sensational.
13:31
I really thought Derek Henry was going to surpass him and he was
13:36
what I think he was like 30 or 40 yards of passing James Cook.
13:40
And then in the second-half of the game, the the Baltimore
13:44
Ravens didn't touch the ball enough for him to and, and, and
13:47
they fell behind and, and you saw how the game ended up.
13:50
But congratulations to James Cook.
13:52
Very well deserved. Deserved because if you think
13:55
about it, Dalvin Cook is his brother.
13:57
And I remember when James Cook was drafted and I was like, who
14:00
the hell is this? I think Buffalo is reaching.
14:03
They're trying to compare him to his brother.
14:05
I don't think this kid is ever going to be anywhere close to
14:07
what his brother is. I was wrong.
14:10
Dalvin Cook was a great running back.
14:11
I think James Cook might even be better than his brother.
14:15
Miles Garrett is the last guy I want to give a a compliment to
14:19
Miles Garrett. I know they were bad, the Browns
14:22
were bad. But to get 23 sacks, I know he
14:25
played in one more game than, you know, obviously TJ Watt.
14:29
And he played in one more game than or two more games than
14:32
Michael Strahan. Whatever the numbers are, this
14:36
story of Miles Garrett comes back to last season when a lot
14:42
of people were complaining about what the Browns gave him.
14:45
They gave him $40 million as a pass rusher.
14:50
He is not a quarterback, he is not any of that those playmaking
14:55
type of players. He is a defensive minded player.
14:58
He is the defensive lineman. He is a he.
15:00
He is a guy that puts his puts, puts pressure on the
15:03
quarterback. But I didn't think that Miles
15:08
Garrett was going to earn the $40 million a year contract that
15:13
he got from the Browns. And this guy not only is the
15:16
best defensive player I've seen in the last 10 years, he might
15:19
be the best defensive player we've seen since Lawrence Taylor
15:23
and Reggie White. That's how good this guy is.
15:27
That's how dominant this guy is. Michael Strahan is great.
15:30
Miles Garrett's better than Michael Strahan and, and, and TJ
15:33
Watt's great. Miles Garrett is better than TJ
15:37
Watt. This guy is by far the best
15:39
defensive player in the league. He's 31 years old.
15:42
I think he could play another two or three more years at the
15:45
top level of his game because one, he's built like AI.
15:49
Don't know what you call him. I mean, the guy is just like, I
15:53
don't know, he's like Mr. Olympian.
15:55
Not an 8 pack like a 16 pack. The guy doesn't.
15:58
I mean, the guy's not human. I mean, he's 6 foot.
16:02
He's 6 foot 6, 260 lbs of pure muscle.
16:06
He he, it's like he's a comic. He's he's like a superhero.
16:10
I, I've never seen anybody with a a body like this.
16:14
I mean, it's unbelievable. And this guy is athletic.
16:19
This guy can jam on a 10 foot hoop.
16:21
He could do windmills. I've seen him do some crazy ass
16:24
stuff with a basketball. This guy is so athletically
16:27
gifted. So congratulations to Miles
16:29
Garrett on a great season. Yeah, definitely still deserving
16:32
of it. Yeah, the asterisk maybe does
16:34
factor in. But when you look at TJ Watt, TJ
16:37
Watt had an extra game too. And obviously straight hand, we
16:39
talked about it last year. I had the whole controversy with
16:41
Brett Favre. Did he really like fall down and
16:43
give him that sack instead of Gassino keeping the record and
16:46
even the unofficial guys before that too, before sacks were
16:48
recorded in 1982. Still a very good accomplishment
16:50
for a Browns defense that was very good all year because the
16:52
Browns offense was terrible. Unfortunately, it cost Kevin
16:55
Stefanski his job. Do I think he should have been
16:57
fired? No.
16:58
But again, this is what Brown this is what bad organizations
17:01
like the Browns do. And I think I forget who was you
17:03
and Jared. I think we're debating in on
17:05
king of the Hill like who are the worst organizations of this
17:07
century. I would give it to the Browns.
17:08
And it's because they make do stupid things like that.
17:10
They let go of Baker when they have something to go with them
17:11
and let go of now Stefanski when he's been their best coach and
17:14
who knows how long. And now you're going to have a
17:18
destination that, yeah, OK, should or Sanders has.
17:20
Fantasizing doesn't mean a coach is going to want to coach him
17:23
when he's been uncoachable the whole time in college and in the
17:26
NFL level. So good luck trying to get a guy
17:28
that you're going to be able to get a good coach for.
17:30
Atlanta, they're different because I think they have good
17:33
weapons and I think a lot of offensive guys are going to want
17:35
to. Coach Stefanski is going to get
17:36
that. I was going to mention that
17:37
Stefanski, I was mentioning at the beginning of the year could
17:40
be a candidate for them because he has familiarity with Kirk
17:43
Cousins. He coached there in Minnesota
17:44
before he became the Browns head coach and he had a lot of 2
17:48
running back in two tight end sets, which really is a strength
17:50
of what Atlanta likes to do there and I think that would
17:53
actually be a really good fit. Morris was never the answer.
17:55
I know he did some good things with the defense this year, but
17:56
I think it was more their draft and how well their defense play.
18:00
You mentioned the trade with the with the Falcons, but they
18:02
actually had a really good pressure this year.
18:04
I think they were the third highest pressure rate in the
18:06
league and they were their best in franchise history.
18:08
So they've got the edge rushers finally go along with their
18:10
defense. Arizona, they're going to be
18:11
stuck. I don't see them being able to
18:13
get a good head coach at this point because they really don't
18:15
have much upside in that organization right now outside
18:17
of trade. McBride and the Raiders will say
18:20
if they can keep their their stars happy over there because
18:23
we know Tom Brady's gonna have his own ego when it comes to
18:25
this coaching decision. I got to throw some water on the
18:29
Miles Garrett deserves an asterisk argument.
18:32
I want there's something that's more important than how many
18:35
games you played and it's how many snaps you were on the field
18:39
for. Now, would you be believe that
18:42
TJ Watt almost played six games worth more of snaps in his year
18:47
that he got 22 1/2 sacks? Because that dude never came off
18:50
the field. He played like 100% of the snaps
18:53
and it was I had the numbers right here in his in his year in
18:58
2021, TJ Watt had 22 1/2 sacks on 616 snaps.
19:03
In 2001, Michael Strahan, same 22 1/2 sacks, 567 snaps.
19:08
So Strahan's was a little bit more impressive unless you count
19:11
the far thing as being Fugazi. Miles Garrett 437 snaps, 180 a
19:20
179 less than TJ Watt. That's like 1/3 of a season less
19:26
of snaps. That's crazy that he was that
19:29
much better than TJ Watt's season.
19:31
It's unbelievable to me. Speaking of interesting, it was
19:34
a pair of seasons to try to forget for the three and 14 Jets
19:39
and the four and 13 Giants in the Meadowlands.
19:43
However, despite the consistent failure under his leadership,
19:48
Giants ownership announced today that GM Joe Shane will be back
19:53
for 2026 season. Both John Mara and Steve Tisch
19:59
referenced Shane's successful 2025 NFL draft as a reason to
20:06
keep him. Multiple reports that say that
20:08
Kevin Stefanski has emerged as a favorite for the Giants head
20:12
coaching position after being fired by the Browns.
20:15
The Giants are expected to start their head coaching research
20:19
today, which will reportedly include.
20:22
Interim coach Mike Kafka, who won the last two games of the
20:27
season, pushing the Giants back to #5 to the number 5 pick in
20:32
the 2026 NFL Draft. The Athletic at Athletic Zach
20:38
Rosenblatt reports that Aaron Glenn is confirmed to be back
20:42
with The Jets. Despite a lack of a successful
20:45
season. The Jets became the only team in
20:47
NFL history to have 0 interceptions on the season.
20:52
Offensive coordinator Tanner Ekstrand and special teams
20:57
coordinator Chris Banjo will also return, but The Jets will
21:03
need to search for a new defensive coordinator after
21:07
firing Steve Wilkes a few weeks before the end of the season.
21:11
The Jets will pick at #2 in the 2026 NFL Draft.
21:17
ESP NS Rich Simini reports that the Browns defensive coordinator
21:20
Jim Schwartz, Bears defensive back coach Al Harris, and former
21:26
Jet safety and Broncos defensive back coach Jim Leonard are
21:31
candidates for their defensive coordinated job.
21:34
Simini adds that The Jets are likely to part ways with Justin
21:39
Fields after June 1st with which would have would save $10
21:44
million of cap space. The Jets will have approximately
21:48
74.8 million going into the offseason, while the Giants will
21:53
have just over 11,000,000. Well First things first is the
21:58
New York Giants. Joe Shane should not have a job.
22:02
He should not have a job. I I have no idea why John Mayra
22:06
and Steve Tish has decided to bring this idiot back because I
22:11
don't care how good is 2025 draft was the season was a
22:16
debacle and ever since he's taken over this job has the
22:19
Giants won more? They have what?
22:22
One good season? I think one good season.
22:24
One playoff year at 9-7 and one. One good season with Joe Shane.
22:28
After that it was a debacle. He he was the one that decided
22:32
to bring Gable in. He was the one that decided to
22:37
to make some of those moves over the last couple of years in the
22:40
draft that have failed to work. He decided to draft a defensive
22:45
lineman and has failed, I believe, an offensive lineman
22:49
that definitely has failed. And Evan Neal.
22:52
I, I mean, there's a lot of mistakes that this team in this
22:54
organization has made over the last couple of years in drafting
22:58
and bringing in free agents, one of them not signing Saquon
23:02
Barkley, which has cost them. And you could see the Eagles are
23:06
laughing right to the bank because guess what, They have
23:09
won a Super Bowl with Saquon Barkley and Saquon Barkley
23:12
almost broke Eric Dickerson's record last year before the
23:15
season was over. Nevertheless, that the fact that
23:20
you're hearing Kevin Stefanski, I've heard obviously McCarthy.
23:25
I I think Kevin Stefanski is going to have a lot of teams
23:27
interested in him. I don't think, even though the
23:29
Giants are going to be looking at him and and trying to make a
23:31
push for him. Is Stefanski going to want a
23:33
Giants team that has a wide receiver coming off of a torn
23:38
ACL? I don't know.
23:40
We don't know what what type of player he's going to be when he
23:43
comes back. They don't have a running game.
23:45
Let's be honest, I don't care what anybody says.
23:48
They got I, I think they got a good, they have two good number
23:51
twos and we don't know now this is all going to work because one
23:55
of them is coming off a major injury.
23:58
I know you all like Scataboo, but Scataboo is not a number one
24:01
guy. He's a, he's a banger.
24:03
He's a #2. That's what he is.
24:05
They don't really have a #1 running back.
24:08
So Giant fans, calm down. The one thing I could say about
24:12
the Giants, which there's a lot of questions to it, is Dexter
24:14
Lawrence. You're hearing that could be he
24:17
could be traded in the offseason.
24:19
If they move Dexter Lawrence, that could significantly hurt
24:23
the Giants defense next year, which has been their strength,
24:26
their front 7. It's been their strength.
24:30
They have one of the best pass rushers in the league this year.
24:33
They had a rookie that didn't show up.
24:35
The practices didn't show up, the film time who look good in
24:40
certain aspects of the game, but I don't know if he could be
24:43
controlled. And this is an organization that
24:47
has has failed to win since 2011.
24:52
And I told all the Giant fans you all had taken shots at Eli
24:56
Manning year in and year out. We want to get rid of this guy.
25:00
And now that Eli Manning is gone, who do you have to replace
25:03
him? Now?
25:04
I like Jackson Dart. I think Jackson Dart's going to
25:08
be a good player in this league. If you get the right coach in
25:12
place. Stefanski, you bring it.
25:14
Stefanski, has he developed any quarterback?
25:18
Honest to God, Baker Mayfield was good, but when he left Kevin
25:22
Stefanski, he wasn't. It was when Baker Mayfield left
25:26
the Rams is when he transitioned or changed his worth as a
25:31
quarterback. It wasn't Kevin Stefanski.
25:35
So Giant fans, I know everybody is looking at Kevin Stefanski.
25:38
Oh, he was coach of the year. He never developed a quarterback
25:42
with the Browns. And let's go through some of the
25:44
quarterbacks he's had. He hasn't even done well with a
25:49
quarterback that was successful and Deshaun Watson.
25:53
But there is somebody that has developed quarterbacks and Mike
25:56
McCarthy, and I've been saying this over and over and over
26:00
again, if the Giants want to turn Jackson Dart into the
26:04
quarterback of the future for their organization, it is Mike
26:08
McCarthy is who they should be hiring.
26:11
So I know it's a it's a sexy pic and Kevin Stefanski is going to
26:16
make his decision. Do you really think that Kevin
26:18
Stefanski is going to want this job?
26:20
You think he wants to work with Joe Shane, who could be fired
26:23
next year and have to deal with another GM?
26:26
The answer would be no, because if Kevin Stefanski goes to
26:31
Atlanta, he has more say, He has more talent.
26:35
I mean, it makes more sense for Stefanski to go there than the
26:39
New York Giants or Giant fans. You better hope Mike McCarthy's
26:42
the one to be picked now as far as The Jets are concerned.
26:47
Jet fans. I, I'm being honest here.
26:52
Aaron Glenn was not the problem this year.
26:55
He wasn't. The problem with the New York
26:58
Jets is pretty simple. It's Woody Johnson.
27:02
Woody Johnson needs to stay the hell away from this team.
27:06
Let Moji and let Aaron Glenn do their jobs.
27:11
Let them build this team from the bottom to the top.
27:14
This was not Aaron Glenn's team. It wasn't.
27:18
It wasn't Aaron Glenn's team. This was Robert, AKA Bambi
27:23
Solid's team. All break.
27:25
I mean, all gas, no break. That's him, The guy with the
27:29
bald head dancing around and prancing around with the San
27:32
Francisco 49ers right now as their defensive coordinator.
27:36
It's not Aaron Glenn's fault that this season was a debacle.
27:39
But I got news for you guys. I have something for you guys to
27:42
look forward to. Dan Campbell's record, he his
27:46
first season with the Lions, he had three wins, right?
27:50
Speedy it. Was 312 and one I.
27:52
Believe three wins. Aaron Glenn has three wins with
27:56
the New York. I'm not saying he's Dan
27:58
Campbell, but he is a likable guy.
28:01
Bill Parcells said that. And yes, the great Bill Parcells
28:05
has said that Aaron Glenn is going to be a good coach in this
28:07
league if The Jets give him a chance to develop as one.
28:12
He didn't want Quinton Williams here.
28:14
He didn't want George Garner here.
28:16
He made those moves, him emoji, made those moves and saved
28:19
money. The Jets have the third best
28:23
salary cap to spend in the offseason.
28:26
Out of all the NFL teams, they have the most money.
28:30
Only two teams, the Raiders that I forget, the other team that
28:33
have more money than they do, the Titans, The Jets have money.
28:38
Now, they might have to overspend and we'll see how this
28:41
draft falls into their lap. This is a job that can
28:46
absolutely transition next year. Now, I don't know if they're
28:49
going to win more than six or seven games next year because
28:52
they're going to need at least another year with the roster
28:55
they're going to put together in the offseason.
28:57
It takes usually three to four years to put a team together
29:02
that could be a successful championship contending team.
29:06
Go look at all the great teams that have done it.
29:09
But if there's any sport that could there could be a
29:11
transition in one season, it's football.
29:15
And if The Jets make the right moves in the offseason, they
29:18
find themselves a damn pass rusher.
29:20
After 25 years of not finding one and John Abraham was the
29:24
last one, they can actually find one that could get to the
29:27
quarterback. They have an offensive line and
29:29
find themselves a consistent young and up and coming
29:34
quarterback that they can develop.
29:37
I think The Jets are going to be put up in put in a very good
29:40
position. So fans, relax, breathe.
29:45
I don't know if it's going to be good or bad going into the
29:49
offseason as a Jet fan. But what I can say as a Jet fan
29:54
is that if Moji makes the right moves in the next two years in
30:00
the draft, The Jets could be set up very, very well for their
30:05
future. I'll keep it quick because we're
30:07
Bobby in right now, but The Jets I think are set up well when it
30:10
comes to their draft stock as well.
30:11
And they're also going to probably purge a lot of those
30:14
other contracts you mentioned Jermaine Johnson as possibly
30:16
being one they could let go of. I think some of the other
30:18
contracts on defense, I think they have leeway to get rid of
30:21
because they know it was that systems type guys.
30:23
And now if Aaron Glenn brings in a different guy, which I think
30:27
you have a lot of good candidates there already that
30:29
could fit his type of defense of more physical type defense.
30:32
I I think it could make a a lot of sense.
30:33
Al Harris has been a good defensive coach for the Cowboys
30:35
for a while now, doing it with the Bears with a great secondary
30:38
over there. I think that would be a good
30:39
fit. And obviously Jim Schwartz has
30:41
been one of the best in a while. So if they can get one of those
30:42
two, that would be really good. I think the offense is going to
30:45
grow. I think you're going to get, you
30:46
saw some good flash with their weapon.
30:47
I think Eggstran, I think he just needs a more of a pocket
30:50
type of quarterback. I don't think Fields really fit
30:52
that mold of what he did with with Jared Goff and The Jets.
30:55
I think they did the right thing.
30:56
Stop complaining about Aaron Glenn.
30:58
Just they didn't interception and just he's a bad culture guy.
31:00
No, he's not. You don't know that after one
31:02
year. As far as the Giants, yeah, Joe,
31:05
Shane, how he kept his job is beyond me.
31:07
Bad contracts given on the defense, bad contracts given on
31:10
the offensive line that really have not worked out.
31:12
Yeah, OK, Yeah, he had a good draft this year.
31:14
He's had some good day three draft picks over the years.
31:16
But it's not enough to keep his job.
31:17
And this is a bad thing for organizations.
31:19
You always want your coach and GM on the same page.
31:21
And now he's going to try to dart throw and hope to get a
31:23
good coach and Mike McCarthy or somebody like that, good luck.
31:26
But his moves have not. Helped It's a home run with Mike
31:29
McCarthy. I agree, but a home run?
31:30
Is he smart enough to do that? I don't know.
31:33
I I don't know about McCarthy. We've talked about it.
31:35
I'm not going to re hashtag because we don't have a lot of
31:37
time. Just want to talk about
31:38
Stefanski real quick. He only had Baker Mayfield as a
31:41
rookie those first couple of years.
31:42
Yet we all know the story. He was a third year guy with the
31:45
hurt. Show his. 3rd year he got hurt.
31:48
His third year he got hurt and played through it and then you
31:51
know, it was bad and they let him go.
31:53
And after that, these are the quarterbacks.
31:54
He had Deshaun Watson off of that.
31:58
I mean why they gave him the guaranteed money when he should
32:01
have been basically in jail and had this public humiliation.
32:04
He never played anywhere close to the level the Texans had him
32:07
at. I don't think you can blame
32:08
Stefanski. He turned Joe Flacco into
32:10
comeback player of the year that year.
32:12
If you don't remember, he didn't.
32:14
He first of all, his career. Joe Flacco everywhere.
32:17
You're wrong and you have a love fetish for Stefanski.
32:19
I got news for you. Well, you're not the guys.
32:22
You had where DT are not getting Winston and Dylan Gabriel and
32:25
why would. Stefanski want the Giants job
32:28
when he go to. The because Jackson Dart is a
32:31
legit please #1 how do you want no.
32:34
League, and he has. Because he's clearly hasn't had
32:37
a really good #2 for Rookie of the Year in Vegas.
32:41
OK. He's the second best rookie this
32:43
year on offense. You're going to tell me Michael
32:45
Panic, Michael Pennix isn't a legit quarterback?
32:48
Not even close. Get out of here.
32:49
Not get out of here, Michael Pennix.
32:52
Not even close. Michael Pennix is much to the
32:54
film. Get out of here.
32:56
A lot of money here on Jack. Your typical Michael panic.
32:59
Typical giant fun. Typical ladies and gentlemen,
33:03
because panics might never play with the third ACL.
33:06
Out here, get out of here the. 3rd ACL So what?
33:09
So what third ACL Michael Pennix will be back, and Michael Pennix
33:14
is a better quarterback than Jackson Dart I.
33:16
Completely. Disagree.
33:17
Well, I disagree with you. You want to compare.
33:19
That's fine, but Dart has better tape and he had a better season
33:22
than Pennix. Oh, really?
33:23
So yes, he did he. Wasn't any good he was.
33:26
Sensational. Ever been good?
33:28
He was knocked down a million times.
33:30
All he could do is move outside of the pocket and use his legs.
33:33
He didn't throw the ball enough. Give me a break.
33:35
You think Jackson Dart has more than enough?
33:38
More than enough film? You're a. 100% Jackson dart all
33:41
right is is for real and most attractive job in the entire
33:46
offseason you're at anyone you're at Atlanta is run by a
33:48
guy who doesn't know what. Are you are you an era at least
33:51
guys, are you listening to this guy?
33:53
Kidding? This guy thinks that the Giants,
33:55
the Giants are the most attractive job in all of the in
33:58
the NFL, you are on drop. It's being said all over
34:01
television today. It's being said everywhere.
34:04
So to think that this is not a common sense, I don't think that
34:08
you have a real quarterback. Disagree.
34:10
Cam Ward isn't on that list. I disagree.
34:12
For rookie of the year, and he was taken one overall.
34:15
Jackson Dart should have been number one overall.
34:17
Doctor Cam Ward, I disagree. That's what we learned this
34:19
year. I disagree.
34:21
I just love the Giants, man. I'll tell you this though, I
34:23
don't know why Shane is back. Shane, look, I guess the draft
34:26
was good, but I man, he didn't take credit for that pick of
34:30
Dart. That's why I don't want Shane
34:31
back. He's like, well, that was
34:33
Dabel's pick and now all of a sudden it's Shane's pick and
34:36
I'll leave it at that. I don't trust Shane.
34:39
I'm very concerned with them taking somebody.
34:41
I hope Stefanski is the guy. I hope he can figure it out.
34:43
I will say this, if Joe Shane chooses Stefanski, well
34:48
Stefanski could be 1 and done because Joe Shane could be fired
34:52
after this coming season and then Stefanski will be going
34:56
because they're going to be bringing in AGM and AGM that's
34:59
going to want his own coach. So I don't know if Stefanski is
35:02
going to want this job knowing that Joe Shane could be on the
35:06
hot seat and honest to God, out of all the teams to say that the
35:09
Giants are the best team out of all the teams that are
35:12
available. I disagree.
35:14
That's just I I look at both the Atlanta has much more to.
35:17
Probably got the best roster as far as defense, the Giants
35:22
defensive Ross. Dexter Lawrence there There are
35:24
stories coming out that Dexter Lawrence don't want to be there,
35:27
and the giants might be willing to.
35:28
Trade him. He's under contract for five
35:29
years. Well, good.
35:31
The offensive line stinks. They're the.
35:33
Offensive line's top five in running the football in the NFL.
35:36
They're offensive line. Yeah, we're.
35:38
Completely wrong when Thomas is the Giants old lines really
35:41
good, could you? Pop out for a second so I can
35:43
finish my day because I, I, you interrupted my take and told me
35:46
I was wrong. Well, I am the host of the show.
35:48
Of course I'm going to interrupt your take and I, I'm going to
35:51
tell you something when Thomas is not in their offensive line
35:54
stinks. So if you want to bet they
35:56
stick, they stick. They stick.
35:59
Better than The Jets offensive line this year.
36:01
Just like really really. Yes, I disagree, but that's you
36:05
can look at stats all you want, but I'm telling you The Jets
36:09
have been a bad team all season long just because of the
36:11
situations that they've been in all season long.
36:14
So and and by the way, I going back to the New York Giants, I I
36:17
don't have any hatred for the New York Giants.
36:19
I just hate giant fans. I hate Giant fans because Giant
36:24
fans over and over and over and over again will sit here and
36:28
make their excuses when they're bad and then find ways to make
36:32
all these all these, give them all these takes at the end of
36:36
the season that this is the best team of out of all the teams
36:39
that are looking for coaching coaches, the the Giants are by
36:43
far the best. Who's got a better quarterback
36:45
than them? I just told you that you want to
36:47
go to. I just told you the six teams.
36:49
I told you with the Atlanta Falcons, I'm going with the
36:51
Atlanta. Falcons panics.
36:52
He's not going to play next year.
36:53
It's going to be Cousins. Next year, maybe not.
36:54
Maybe not. Michael Pennix could be back at
36:56
the end of the season next year and and I'm gonna, I'm not.
37:00
Going there because the guy's gonna be back at the end of the
37:01
season. I'm going there because the
37:03
talent is better over there. Well, offensively, yes.
37:07
What is he, Bijan Robinson? Kyle.
37:08
But Kyle Pitts isn't going to be there.
37:10
He's going to get a contract from someone this year.
37:12
We'll see. I think they'll if if, if
37:14
Stefanski goes there, he will sign back with them.
37:17
So I and I think Stefanski makes a lot of sense over there.
37:20
We'll see. All right, that was interesting
37:23
as always. I like it.
37:25
It's always. Good.
37:26
You knew it was going to be like that talking about the Giants at
37:28
the. End.
37:29
I know. That's why I like to get under
37:30
your skin as well. All right, my golf clap of the
37:34
day. This deserves a golf clap.
37:37
No doubt. Golf clap.
37:39
Golf Clap My golf clap of the day goes to the Philadelphia
37:45
Phillies ladies and gentlemen. They made the right decision as
37:49
an ex Yankee manager hires another ex Yankee manager.
37:56
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the new hitting coach for the
38:00
Philadelphia Phillies is Donnie Baseball.
38:05
I love it, absolutely love it. Don, Donnie Don Don Mattingly is
38:10
one of my favorite players of all time.
38:11
He was over there with the Blue Jays last year as one of their
38:14
bench coaches. This is this is a guy that is
38:17
falling short for a World Series everywhere he's gone as a coach,
38:21
as a manager, as a player. The guy last year he was in the
38:25
world, he had a chance to win a World Series in and came up
38:27
short as the Dodgers beat the the Toronto Toronto Blue Jays.
38:32
I think this is a great move for the Philadelphia Phillies.
38:35
This is one of the greatest first baseman hitters we've ever
38:39
seen. Before his back injury, this guy
38:42
hit for power, hit for average, and in a five year stand this
38:46
guy was one of the best hitters in baseball.
38:48
So my golf clap of the day goes to the Philadelphia Phillies
38:53
signing my favorite player of all time, the one they call
38:57
Donnie Baseball. Thank you to all the fans on
39:03

40:11
He bought a lot of great stuff. He has a Thursday books for my
40:14
good friend Timmy Witherspoon. He's a two time heavyweight
40:18
champion boxing legend. He'll be coming on at 8:45 PM
40:22
Eastern. Originally it was John Mitch,
40:24
but he can't make it. So my guy Tim Witherspoon will
40:27
be joining. I want to, I want to tell
40:29
everybody, Tim Witherspoon I met when I was a kid.
40:32
I was I was at the Poconos and I was sitting in the hot tub and
40:36
he was talking and he had a conversation with my father.
40:39
I'll never forget it. And he was like, oh, I was the
40:41
heavyweight champion of the world.
40:43
And I was like, who the hell are you?
40:44
He's like, I'm Tim Witherspoon. I was like, I never heard of
40:48
you. I've heard of Mike Dyson.
40:49
I never heard of you. And he laughed and and we
40:52
actually hung out with his family the whole time when we
40:55
were there. So I'm going to mention I think
40:57
he's going to Remember Me because I was the crazy white
40:59
boy. So that's what he called me.
41:01
It's a true story. Yeah.
41:05
I'll never forget. I got into a fight with my
41:06
father That, that, that time that we went to the Poconos and
41:10
I ran through the woods because trying to get away from my
41:13
family and I ran. So the, the, the, if you ever
41:17
been to Poconos, it's all there's a lot of woods.
41:19
I ran through, took a detour and met them on the outside.
41:23
My father didn't know how I got through the woods and got to the
41:26
end of the detour faster than they did.
41:28
So that's a true story. I'll never forget that time And
41:31
I, I did meet Timmy at that time, so I, I don't know if
41:34
you'll remember it, but I, I did.
41:37
His sons were young. It was a pretty funny.
41:39
It was a good time. I, I love the Poconos.
41:41
