  Welcome to episode 45 of three guys 6 balls NFL podcast.
• 0:18
  I'm your host Joel and I'm here with my two usual Co host Will
• 0:21
  and Avery. It's a great day.
• 0:23
  I'm having a great week because the Philadelphia Eagles are no
• 0:26
  longer in the playoffs and the Philadelphia Eagles fans are the
• 0:30
  ones who are idiots, not me. The Philadelphia Eagles will not
• 0:34
  be in the Super Bowl this year. Sorry Eagles fans, how you guys
• 0:37
  doing today? Do you feel better now?
• 0:40
  I feel great. I feel great feels.
• 0:42
  Like you've been holding on to that for a while.
• 0:45
  They've been calling me an idiot and a moron for saying that the
• 0:48
  Eagles want to go back to the Super Bowl all season, the
• 0:51
  entire season, and they lose in the first round of the playoffs.
• 0:54
  It could not have gone any better.
• 0:56
  Just seeing the Eagles lose is fantastic.
• 1:00
  I could not be happier right now.
• 1:02
  Could not be happier. The wild card round is over and
• 1:06
  we're going to move on to the divisional games today to break
• 1:09
  those down. But before we get started with
• 1:11
  today's episode, what we're going to do is I'm going to go
• 1:16
  over our fantasy rankings, continue our fantasy rankings,
• 1:19
  give ourselves our scores for our pre season fantasy rankings.
• 1:23
  And today we're doing wide receivers and tight ends.
• 1:26
  If you guys didn't listen, last week we did the quarterbacks and
• 1:29
  running backs. And so the current score is
• 1:32
  myself, I'm at 16 points and Will and Avery are tied at 12.
• 1:37
  So today we're going to give ourselves the scores for the
• 1:39
  wide receivers and for the tight ends.
• 1:42
  And just so you guys know, they're all awful.
• 1:46
  They're all just bad. So All right, so we'll get
• 1:50
  started with the wide receivers. So the actual top ten wide
• 1:55
  receivers in fantasy football this year. 1 Puka Dekua, 2 JSN,
• 2:01
  3 Almonra St. Brown, 4 Jamar Chase, 5 George
• 2:04
  Pickens, 6 Crystal Lava, 7 Zay Flowers, 8 Nico Collins, 9
• 2:10
  Devante Adams and 10 Michael Wilson.
• 2:14
  Because everybody would have had him in the top ten, right?
• 2:18
  So Will's preseason top 10 go like this.
• 2:22
  So one Jamar Chase, 2 CD Lamb, 3 Amanara St.
• 2:26
  Brown, 4 Justin Jefferson, 5 Tyree Kill, 6 Malik Neighbors, 7
• 2:32
  Brian Thomas Junior, eight A.J. Brown, 9 Drake London and 10
• 2:37
  Nico Collins. So Will had a total of four
• 2:40
  points because he had Jamar Chase, Amanara St.
• 2:43
  Brown at 3 and he was the actual third ranked receiver, so he got
• 2:47
  two points there. And then he had Nico Collins in
• 2:50
  the top 10, so he got 4 points. So Avery's top ten, he had Jamar
• 2:55
  Chase at 1-2, Justin Jefferson three, CD Lamb 4, Tyreek Hill 5,
• 3:00
  Drake London 6, Amanara St. Brown 7.
• 3:04
  Pukunukua 8. A.J.
• 3:05
  Brown 9. Brian Thomas Junior 10 Nico
• 3:09
  Collins So Avery got 4 points as well to stay tied with Will
• 3:13
  because he had Jamar Chase, he had Amanar St.
• 3:17
  Brown, he had Pukunukua and Nico Collins in the top 10.
• 3:20
  And then my top ten was 1 Jamar Chase, 2 Justin Jefferson 3
• 3:25
  Amanora St. Brown, 4 CD Lamb, 5 Malik
• 3:28
  Neighbors, 6 Pukanakua, 7 Brian Thomas Junior, 8 Drake London 9.
• 3:34
  Nico Collins 10 A.J. Brown.
• 3:36
  So I got a total of five points because I had Jamar Chase,
• 3:39
  Amanra at 3:00. So I got 2 points there.
• 3:42
  I had Pukanakua and Nico Collins and then moving on to the tight
• 3:47
  end rankings. This is even worse.
• 3:49
  If you saw the fan, the wide receiver rankings were bad.
• 3:51
  This is even worse than the wide receivers.
• 3:53
  Oh cool. So the actual top ten tight ends
• 3:58
  for fantasy this year was one Trey McBride, 2 Kyle Pitts
• 4:02
  'cause we all predicted that 3 Travis Kelsey, 4 Tyler Warren, 5
• 4:07
  Jake Ferguson, 6 Herald Fan and junior 7 Dallas Goddard, 8 Jawan
• 4:12
  Johnson, 900 Henry, 10 Dalton Schultz.
• 4:15
  So Will's actual top 10 was Brock Bowers at 1-2 George
• 4:20
  Kittle, 3 Sam Laporta, 4 Trey McBride, 5 TJ Hawkinson, 6 David
• 4:26
  and Joku, 7 Travis Kelsey, 8 Tyler Warren, 9 Colston
• 4:31
  Loveland, and 10 Mark Andrews. So Will got a total of three
• 4:35
  points because he had Trey McBride, he had Travis Kelsey
• 4:39
  and Tyler Warren in his top ten. And then Avery's top ten goes 1
• 4:44
  Brock Bowers, 2 George Kittle, three Trey McBride, 4 Sam
• 4:48
  Laporta, 5 Mark Andrews, 6 Travis Kelsey, 7 Evan Ingram, 8
• 4:53
  Colston Loveland, 9 Tyler Warren, and 10 Chig Aconquo.
• 4:59
  That one didn't turn out too great, but none of these did.
• 5:03
  None of. These did none of these, no.
• 5:05
  Regards. Yeah, so Avery got a total of 3
• 5:09
  points. And then my top ten goes like
• 5:12
  this. 1 Brock Bowers, 2 Trey McBride, 3 George Kittle, 4
• 5:17
  Travis Kelsey, 5 TJ Hawkinson, 6 Sam Laporta, 7 Evan Ingram, 8
• 5:23
  David and Joku, 9 Jake Ferguson, and 10 Zackerts.
• 5:28
  So I got a total of four points. So right now the total score is
• 5:33
  myself with 25 points and Will and Avery are still tied but at
• 5:39
  19 points this time. So going into the final round,
• 5:42
  there's a tiebreaker for 2nd place between Will and Avery,
• 5:46
  and I'm sure Avery's kickers are going to put him over the top in
• 5:49
  the next round. You mean under the under the
• 5:53
  basement? I went by names.
• 5:55
  I didn't even, I don't even think I looked at the rankings
• 5:57
  for those. I'm sure that's that's going to
• 6:02
  be good when we do those next week.
• 6:04
  All right, I will. I will not be able to keep it
• 6:07
  together. Just I remember his kicker list.
• 6:10
  I'm going to lose it. I'm going to have to go up on
• 6:12
  mute. There's just no way I can be
• 6:15
  professional as we read these names except for Board of
• 6:20
  Cannabis. The good news is, is that we're
• 6:23
  never professional on this podcast, so.
• 6:24
  That's for sure. All right.
• 6:28
  Well, as I mentioned today, we're going to talk about some
• 6:30
  divisional round matchups for the NFL playoffs.
• 6:32
  And then after we do that, we'll break down some coaching
• 6:36
  positions, like which coaching position do you think is the
• 6:38
  best available? And then at the end, I don't
• 6:41
  think we're going to rank our top five coaches, but I think
• 6:43
  we'll just talk about some coaches that you guys think
• 6:46
  would be maybe the best fit for maybe certain teams.
• 6:50
  So to start off, we'll go ahead and breakdown some of these
• 6:54
  divisional round games. So we'll start with the we'll
• 6:58
  just go in order. So we're going to start with
• 7:00
  Bills at Broncos. So will give us some thoughts on
• 7:03
  Bills and Broncos and let us know who you have winning this
• 7:05
  game. Oh, you know what?
• 7:08
  In my brain, In my brain, you said we were going to breakdown
• 7:11
  these games. I was ready and mentally
• 7:14
  prepared to go over the round that just happened.
• 7:18
  So when you said Bill's at Broncos, it threw my brain into
• 7:20
  an entire spiral. But anyway, I was.
• 7:22
  I was honestly thinking that too.
• 7:23
  I was like, wait, that game didn't happen?
• 7:25
  That's nice. Those are Broncos.
• 7:26
  Bill's didn't play Broncos. Bill's played dead.
• 7:28
  And I was ready to complain about the end of halftime thing
• 7:32
  there. I was ready for it.
• 7:35
  I said divisional. I You think I know what the
• 7:38
  rounds of the NFL playoffs are called?
• 7:41
  You think I'm that kind of nerd? Anyway, look, this Broncos team,
• 7:47
  I, I will be legitimately the most shocked if this Broncos
• 7:52
  team comes away with a win over the best.
• 7:54
  If the Broncos win I, I and spoiler alert, I also see the
• 7:58
  Texans sneaking and win out over over New England.
• 8:02
  I don't think we. Can talk about the other two
• 8:04
  games. Too, while you're at it.
• 8:05
  Yeah, I will. I will.
• 8:06
  I will. Don't worry, We'll get there.
• 8:08
  I don't think New England played well.
• 8:09
  If it is the Broncos, their offense is bad right until the
• 8:13
  fourth quarter and and the the Bills are just consistently
• 8:17
  tripping away at people. Look at the way they played the
• 8:19
  Patriots in the regular season. The last time they played, Josh
• 8:23
  Allen put the whole team on his back.
• 8:24
  And I just don't think, I don't think this Broncos team has the
• 8:29
  capability to stop the run game of the Bills.
• 8:33
  I don't think the Broncos offense is good enough to to
• 8:37
  win. They're not good enough to stand
• 8:38
  in their own and win a game. Like I think Josh Allen and that
• 8:41
  and James Cook are I, I just don't see this going well for
• 8:45
  the Broncos. They're going to be they're
• 8:46
  going to be just like the last time Dallas was the one seed.
• 8:49
  Actually. There's a lot of teams to get
• 8:51
  the first round by sit a week and then just lose because they
• 8:54
  sat a week that their opponent comes in playing a hard fought
• 8:57
  game. And this game versus
• 8:59
  Jacksonville that Buffalo just played was a hard fought game.
• 9:03
  I, I think Jacksonville was the only team that had a real shot
• 9:05
  to beat the Bills in the playoffs.
• 9:06
  And they didn't do it. It was close, but they didn't do
• 9:09
  it. And so, yeah, I I don't see this
• 9:12
  going well for the Broncos. Avery, what do you think?
• 9:14
  Do you agree? Yeah, same thing I think, I
• 9:17
  think the Broncos are probably one of the more overrated 1
• 9:21
  seeds I've ever seen. I think they get bailed out a
• 9:24
  lot by their defense. And I think, I think the Bills
• 9:28
  win like purely because of Josh Allen.
• 9:31
  I think I think he's enough of a game changer where in the
• 9:35
  playoffs, in the moment, he could overcome this Broncos
• 9:38
  team. So I think the Bills take it.
• 9:41
  Yeah, I agree. I have the Bills winning as
• 9:43
  well, mostly because of Josh Allen.
• 9:45
  He's the best quarterback in this game and in the playoffs.
• 9:48
  So I have the Bills winning also.
• 9:51
  What? He's the best quarterback once
• 9:54
  in the playoffs. You think, Matthew Stafford, I
• 9:57
  know you. Those are fighting words for
• 9:59
  Will. I know you think Matthew
• 10:00
  Stafford is the best quarterback because he's going to win MVP
• 10:03
  this year. Honestly, Will do you think that
• 10:07
  Josh, do you, do you think that Josh Allen is a better
• 10:11
  quarterback than or that do you think that Matthew Stafford is a
• 10:14
  better quarterback than Josh Allen?
• 10:16
  I think they are two separate style of quarterbacks, so it's
• 10:20
  hard to compare them as your straight quarterback to
• 10:22
  quarterback. But if I were going to go back
• 10:26
  in time and pick one of them, let's say they came out of
• 10:29
  college at the same time and pick one of them, I think I
• 10:32
  would pick the better ball thrower over over the scrambler
• 10:38
  playmaker because I want my quarterback to stand back there
• 10:41
  and throw the ball and let the playmakers do the thing.
• 10:45
  There's too much injury and too much risk.
• 10:47
  I mean, Josh Allen took shot after shot in his Jacksonville
• 10:51
  game. He got beat up and it's because
• 10:53
  he has to run the ball so much because they don't have the team
• 10:55
  around him. Whereas Matthew Stafford had the
• 10:58
  chance to run for a first down in their divisional game, chose
• 11:03
  throat and it was incomplete pass.
• 11:05
  He's he is the last guy that's going to be out there running
• 11:07
  the football. Now.
• 11:08
  It could be because he's getting up there in age wherever, but I
• 11:12
  do think as a pure ball thrower, quarterback Matthew Stafford is
• 11:16
  better than Josh Allen. As a pure thrower, yes, I stand
• 11:21
  by what I said, though. I think Josh Allen is a better
• 11:23
  overall quarterback than Matthew Stafford.
• 11:25
  I'm not saying Matthew Stafford's bad because he's
• 11:27
  great. He's calling him old dude.
• 11:29
  If you put Josh Allen on the Rams, that's fine.
• 11:32
  Put put Josh Allen on the Rams and tell me what you think would
• 11:35
  happen. Would the Rams be better or?
• 11:37
  Worse, they would be more dynamic.
• 11:42
  Yes, right. Yes.
• 11:45
  Which is why Rams win the Super Bowl this year.
• 11:49
  They trade their two ones and either get Justin Herbert, who
• 11:52
  doesn't want to play for another offensive coordinator, whatever
• 11:55
  the heck they got going on and in LA, or for Joe Burrow, and
• 11:58
  then we have a whole new offense and let's do it.
• 12:01
  What? About Shidur, you only need to
• 12:07
  trade for Shidur. 2 ones. 2 ones.
• 12:09
  You only need to trade 1/5 rounder for that anyways.
• 12:13
  The way I see this Bills and Broncos game is very similar to
• 12:15
  how I saw the Bills and Jaguars game.
• 12:18
  Because the Bills have the best rushing offense in the league.
• 12:20
  The Broncos have the second best run defence in the league, but
• 12:24
  last week they played the Jacksonville Jaguars who had the
• 12:27
  best rushing defense in the league.
• 12:29
  And although they didn't do super great on the ground, they
• 12:32
  still found a way to beat that defense.
• 12:35
  And so I'm taking the better quarterback in this game, I'm
• 12:38
  taking Josh Allen. So moving on to 49ers at
• 12:41
  Seahawks. So these two teams are one and
• 12:43
  one against each other this season.
• 12:45
  Neither team has scored more than 17 points in either
• 12:48
  matchup. So, Avery, who do you think's
• 12:51
  winning this game? I don't like saying this, but I
• 12:54
  think the Niners are going to take this.
• 12:55
  I don't like that, but I'm not going off what I want.
• 12:59
  I'm going off what I think is going to happen.
• 13:01
  Why do you think they're going to beat them?
• 13:04
  Just a feeling. Vibes vibes, dude.
• 13:08
  I've got a vibe about the whole. Playoff I I can, I can.
• 13:11
  I had already put down what I think is going to happen based
• 13:14
  off. Will you share it with us?
• 13:16
  Yeah, I'll do it real quick. Ready.
• 13:18
  Yeah, OK. 49ers beat the Seahawks, Rams beat the Bears,
• 13:22
  Patriots beat the Texans, Patriots beat the Bells, Rams
• 13:26
  beat the Niners and Patriots beat the Rams doing the Super
• 13:30
  Bowl. Clip it.
• 13:32
  Patriots. Yeah, I, I, I'm not going off
• 13:36
  what I want. I'm going off what I think is
• 13:37
  going to happen. I could have said, I could have
• 13:40
  said Oregon's going to get their cheeks clapped by Indiana.
• 13:44
  Like I knew that was going to happen, but I had hope and faith
• 13:48
  misplaced faith that it wasn't going to happen.
• 13:51
  But destiny, destiny arrives all the same.
• 13:57
  So it like it with Miami. I wonder is Crystal ball just
• 14:01
  watching just being like, let's get this over with, you know,
• 14:05
  like I I don't even know. It doesn't even look like they
• 14:07
  have a shot If Miami wins that game.
• 14:09
  I know I've drifted a little bit.
• 14:10
  If Miami beats Indiana, like everyone will be so shocked and
• 14:16
  confused. They'll be like, what happened
• 14:19
  like this look like a formality. Like, I've seen online little
• 14:23
  sketches of like, Indiana coming in as some big bad bully and all
• 14:28
  the other Alabama, Oregon and Miami being like.
• 14:32
  And it's like, yeah, I mean, kinda no one else is even like
• 14:36
  kind of showed up in that game. Anyway, yeah, I think Patriots
• 14:39
  take it but. All right, Will, what do you
• 14:41
  think about this 49ers Seahawks game?
• 14:43
  Who's taking it? So I'm actually getting given
• 14:48
  now to the Seahawks here. The 49ers are so beat up
• 14:51
  offensively and defensively. There were thoughts of Fred
• 14:54
  Warner might be coming back this week.
• 14:56
  They designated him to return from practice for next week, not
• 15:00
  for this week. So in hopes that they win this
• 15:02
  week, he's able to come back to the game next week.
• 15:04
  I actually don't think it moves the Eagle that much.
• 15:06
  Fred Warner, very good player, probably the best linebacker in
• 15:10
  the game right now when he's healthy and able to play.
• 15:12
  But being gone for the whole year, not that there's really a
• 15:16
  consistent defense on the Niners to match with.
• 15:20
  He would be out of out of sync with that team.
• 15:22
  Bob Sala I will talk about this later, but he's got the 400
• 15:26
  defense buzzing and has earned himself chances to get back in
• 15:29
  the head coaching from that. But I think that I I think that
• 15:33
  the Seattle I think the Seattle wins this one at home in front
• 15:38
  of their fans. Anything the atmosphere of the
• 15:40
  crowd, the I don't think it'll be I don't think it'll be
• 15:45
  pretty. I need to be a really ugly game.
• 15:47
  Real low scoring like 13 to 10 Seattle win.
• 15:50
  I think the defensive line for the Seahawks, we get to Brock
• 15:52
  pretty. He when he's off the spot has
• 15:55
  not been very good. And I know that's going to get
• 15:58
  so much crap. Look at these two stats right
• 16:01
  here. Yeah, OK, cool.
• 16:03
  But I I just think that you get him off the spot, he's not going
• 16:07
  to do as well as you want him to.
• 16:09
  Cato's gone, so Seattle has one less person that they have to
• 16:13
  really worry about. I just think that that that the
• 16:16
  Seahawks defense is tuned up too well and they will make up.
• 16:20
  I think Sam Darnold probably throws 2 interceptions, maybe 3
• 16:23
  interceptions. It's a bad game for Donald, but
• 16:25
  the defense makes up for it. OK, yeah, I know you mentioned
• 16:30
  that the 49ers have beat up specifically on defense, but I'm
• 16:33
  more worried about the offense for the 49ers in this game.
• 16:37
  The last time the 49ers offense couldn't do anything, they
• 16:40
  scored three points. But as I mentioned, but as I
• 16:43
  mentioned, neither team has scored more than 17 points in
• 16:46
  their two meetings so far this year.
• 16:47
  So I fully expect the 49ers and Seahawks game to be another low
• 16:51
  scoring game. It's a tough divisional matchup.
• 16:54
  I'm taking the Seahawks in this one because of their defense,
• 16:57
  but I do expect it to be a very close game.
• 17:00
  The 49ers are going to fight to stay in it like they've done all
• 17:03
  season long despite all the injuries.
• 17:05
  But I am still taking the Seahawks because I just think
• 17:07
  that their defense is significantly better.
• 17:11
  Just all season long, they've proved that they are either the
• 17:14
  second best or best defense in my opinion.
• 17:16
  And so I'm taking the Seahawks because of their defense in this
• 17:19
  game. Let's move on to Texans at
• 17:21
  Patriots Will. What do you think?
• 17:24
  Who's winning this game? I like the Texans to upset the
• 17:27
  Patriots here. I do too.
• 17:30
  I don't think, I don't think that Drake May played very well
• 17:36
  against the Chargers. I know the score may say, well,
• 17:38
  yeah, but they beat them by 13 points.
• 17:42
  Sure. They only scored one offensive
• 17:44
  touchdown. And it was at the very end of
• 17:46
  the game. Hunter Henry, how much time was
• 17:48
  left in the game? And that happened 9:45 left in
• 17:50
  the fourth quarter. The game was already over.
• 17:52
  That Chargers offense could do nothing.
• 17:55
  That was basically the nail in the coffin.
• 17:57
  Put it to 2 scores, although the Chargers didn't have them to
• 18:00
  score a touchdown anyway. I think that's Houston Texans
• 18:02
  defense who scored two touchdowns by themselves last
• 18:06
  week. They scored almost as many
• 18:08
  points as the Patriots did last week.
• 18:11
  Just the the Texans defense. I think this is going to be
• 18:14
  another. I think we got very lucky in the
• 18:18
  wild card round of the playoffs because this divisional round is
• 18:21
  going to be a swab. It's going to be ugly game after
• 18:26
  ugly game. There are four teams here.
• 18:29
  Excuse me, 6 teams remaining right.
• 18:31
  That's how that's how the math works.
• 18:34
  Three games. Nope.
• 18:35
  Four yeah, eight teams remaining.
• 18:36
  I can do math, guys. 8 teams remaining and. 4.
• 18:42
  Excuse me? Six of these eights are built on
• 18:45
  defense and the other two are the Rams and Bears.
• 18:48
  And the the Bears have a very good defense, high turnover
• 18:51
  ratio. But if they're not any
• 18:52
  turnovers, they're not that good otherwise.
• 18:55
  And so Bills, Broncos, Bills have have kind of lived off
• 19:00
  their defense and Josh Allen, Niners, Seahawks 2 defensive
• 19:04
  teams, Texans, Patriots say what you want, this Patriots defense
• 19:08
  very good over the season. Texans best defense in the
• 19:11
  league. So we're going to see some real
• 19:13
  ugly games in the in the second round and I think this Patriots
• 19:17
  Texans game is going to be real ugly up there in Foxborough.
• 19:21
  It's cold. I I just don't think that that
• 19:23
  the Patriots have have it in them to hang on.
• 19:27
  I think I think the the Texans defense will outlast the
• 19:31
  Patriots offense. Yeah, I agree with you.
• 19:34
  I think the Texans are going to win this game because of their
• 19:36
  defense. If you look at what this Texans
• 19:38
  just did to the Steelers, I know the Patriots are a better team
• 19:41
  than the Steelers overall and Drake May is a lot more mobile
• 19:45
  than Aaron Rodgers, but that Texans defense is scary.
• 19:49
  I'm worried about the Patriots offensive line in this game
• 19:51
  though versus that Texans defense because the Patriots
• 19:54
  allowed 48 sacks during the regular season, which is seventh
• 19:58
  most in the league. In the wild card game against
• 20:00
  the Chargers, they allowed five sacks.
• 20:02
  There was pressure on Drake May. The Chargers defense made it
• 20:05
  tough for the Patriots offense. So not only do the Texans have a
• 20:08
  great pass rush, but their secondary is better than the
• 20:11
  Chargers secondary. If the Patriots don't find a way
• 20:14
  to limit pressure on Drake May, the Texans are going to win this
• 20:17
  game. They have to find a way to limit
• 20:20
  that pressure on Drake May. And if they don't, then I don't
• 20:23
  I don't see a way where the Patriots are going to win this
• 20:25
  game if that happens. So Avery, what do you think?
• 20:28
  I know you have the Patriots winning because you have the
• 20:30
  Patriots going to the Super Bowl, but give us some thoughts.
• 20:34
  No, I, I just think, I mean, there's times where like, I
• 20:39
  mean, you'll see like what Will was saying Drake May taking on
• 20:42
  the Chargers and he didn't look that great, but you know, the
• 20:45
  Texans have a great defense. But I think I've just seen too
• 20:49
  many teams play to the strength of the other team, Meaning like
• 20:55
  there's as an example, I've seen some Oregon games where like you
• 20:59
  got this, like you only beat this team by like 3 scores and
• 21:02
  then they'll play a really good team and they'll beat them by 4.
• 21:04
  And it was like, OK, I feel like you guys just matched the energy
• 21:08
  with, you know, who you are playing.
• 21:10
  And so I just think they're going to be able to find their
• 21:12
  way to edge this out. My whole thing with with these
• 21:15
  predictions has very little to do with, you know, how they've
• 21:20
  done in the past or, you know, even necessarily like home field
• 21:24
  advantage. I feel like these games are
• 21:25
  almost always near a coin toss, like as far as like who could
• 21:31
  win? I mean, it, it, it this isn't
• 21:34
  like, you know, Seahawks versus the Raiders or something.
• 21:37
  It's like, dude, it's the playoffs, this stuff happened.
• 21:40
  Like any team can win, especially at this level.
• 21:44
  I but I just think the Patriots will edge it out.
• 21:47
  I think them being at home helps.
• 21:49
  I didn't think the Seahawks being at home helps.
• 21:52
  I just think the Niners are going to beat them.
• 21:53
  I just don't see the Seahawks making it pass.
• 21:55
  I don't know why, but yeah, I, I, but I'm confident in this.
• 21:58
  I'm confident. So for any people on TikTok that
• 22:01
  are watching this, go ahead and call me out.
• 22:04
  And then, you know, I'll take my lashings if I'm wrong, but if
• 22:08
  I'm right, bend over. You know Avery, something funny
• 22:16
  with that is I posted it was yesterday before the game, the
• 22:20
  Steelers and Texans game I posted you saying that the
• 22:23
  Steelers reminded you of the movie semi pro and I were like
• 22:28
  we will win 4th place and then Steelers fans were commenting
• 22:31
  like I'm keeping receipts and after the game I commented back
• 22:35
  and I said I don't think you're going to need those anymore.
• 22:37
  They. Did get 4th place, yeah.
• 22:48
  I love, I love the Internet. It's so good Internet.
• 22:51
  'S awesome it's awesome all right let's move on to the final
• 22:55
  game here this is the game of the divisional round not just
• 23:00
  because will is a Rams fan but because will also hates the bars
• 23:04
  so so I. Know I've had this.
• 23:07
  Thought Will, I'm going to ask you to hold your bears hate in
• 23:10
  for a second here. I'm going to have myself and
• 23:12
  Avery go first on this one Avery, why don't you start us
• 23:15
  off here? I know you already said you're a
• 23:17
  winner, but give us some thoughts on this game I'll.
• 23:20
  Be honest, part of the vibes comes directly from Will.
• 23:25
  I like the Rams and I really don't like the Bears.
• 23:29
  And The thing is, is it's not even like before it would have
• 23:34
  been like, I think you're a joke kind of thing for the Bears.
• 23:37
  But now it's like, I mean, OK, you're in, you're in the
• 23:40
  divisional round. You're not a joke.
• 23:42
  I think. I think you are funny.
• 23:45
  I think there are jokes in the organization.
• 23:48
  But I mean, you're the number two seed.
• 23:50
  I still think you're going to lose though.
• 23:52
  I just think, I think the Rams will play it much better than
• 23:56
  Lafleur, who just played not to lose like the last.
• 24:02
  Last. Like 40% of the game was, I was
• 24:05
  like, oh, so we're just like hoping the Bears don't bother to
• 24:10
  score the last quarter. That's that's the game plan.
• 24:12
  We're just thinking maybe they think the game's over and we'll
• 24:15
  all just run the clock out. I remember watching that
• 24:19
  Seahawks Panthers playoff game back when I think it was the
• 24:22
  year the Panthers went to the Super Bowl and the Seahawks were
• 24:27
  there and the Seahawks just played not to lose and they lost
• 24:31
  anyway. Yeah, I, I think the Rams will
• 24:33
  beat them. I I don't think they'll give
• 24:35
  Caleb Williams an opening like Joel mentioned last time.
• 24:38
  Just giving him that opportunity and just isn't a great idea.
• 24:42
  And I think the Rams will be able to close it out.
• 24:47
  OK, so for this game, much like I did with the Packers and Bears
• 24:52
  for this game, I did one key for the Rams and one key for the
• 24:54
  Bears going into this game. So one key for the Rams.
• 24:58
  Learn from the Packers mistakes and don't take your foot off the
• 25:01
  gas. If the Rams get out to an early
• 25:04
  lead, they have to keep going. They cannot take their foot off
• 25:07
  the gas in this game. Learn from the mistakes that the
• 25:10
  Packers made, which I don't think they would do anyway
• 25:12
  because Sean McVay is a better coach than Lafleur.
• 25:16
  But learn from what the Packers did against the Bears and keep
• 25:19
  your foot on the gas. You do not want to have another,
• 25:23
  you know, Caleb Williams comeback opportunity in this
• 25:26
  game. So just keep your foot on the
• 25:28
  gas. The key for the Bears, if the
• 25:31
  Bears want to win this game, they have to get off to a faster
• 25:33
  start on offense. They cannot get off to a slow
• 25:35
  start in this game because in their last four games, the Bears
• 25:39
  have been down going into the fourth quarter every single
• 25:42
  time. They're two and two in those
• 25:44
  games. Yes, they've been able to
• 25:45
  complete some comebacks, but there's also two games where
• 25:48
  they haven't been able to. So overall this year, the Bears
• 25:51
  are five and five when they're losing entering the fourth
• 25:53
  quarter. The teams as they've beaten the
• 25:56
  Packers twice, the Giants, Commanders and Raiders.
• 25:59
  The teams that they've lost to the Packers, Ravens, Lions
• 26:02
  twice, and 49ers. I don't think that the Bears can
• 26:07
  go into the fourth quarter down 21 to 7 in this game or down 24
• 26:12
  to 7 or whatever it is. They have to start faster.
• 26:15
  The Bears cannot get off to a slow start in this game because
• 26:17
  if they do, the Rams are not going to let them back in the
• 26:21
  game. I'm not saying Caleb Williams
• 26:23
  can't bring them back because we've seen him do it a bunch of
• 26:26
  times, but I am saying that it's going to be a lot harder to do
• 26:29
  against the Rams than it is against the Packers.
• 26:32
  As I mentioned before, Sean McVay is a better coach than
• 26:35
  Matt Lafleur, and this is against probable MVP Matthew
• 26:39
  Stafford. It's against one of the best
• 26:41
  coaches in the NFL, if not the best coach in the NFL.
• 26:43
  It's against Pukka Nakua and Devante Adams.
• 26:46
  This is not the Green Bay Packers.
• 26:48
  You cannot let yourself go into the fourth quarter being behind
• 26:52
  because if you do, I don't think you're going to win this game.
• 26:55
  The Bears have to start fast if they want to win and they have
• 26:58
  to keep it going throughout the entire game if they want a shot
• 27:02
  to beat the Rams here. All right will give us all your
• 27:06
  Bears hate. You know, I think that their
• 27:08
  bears have a fair shot. I think they're a good team.
• 27:11
  I think that the the bears might actually no, the bears fucking
• 27:14
  suck. Pardon mentally we sorry, I had
• 27:16
  to I had to drop the that's. A.
• 27:18
  That's a double. Sorry right there.
• 27:20
  We have to put an. Explicit thing on the podcast.
• 27:22
  Now we do. Anyway, and I I tried to hold it
• 27:26
  in and I just couldn't listen. Caleb Williams went 50%
• 27:30
  completion percentage through 2 picks and but he did have two
• 27:33
  touchdowns. So they threw the ball 48 times
• 27:36
  and he only completed 24 of them.
• 27:38
  Now I know what's going to be said.
• 27:40
  Well, Matthew Stafford only completed 24 passes.
• 27:43
  Sure he threw for 42 of them. He also sprained his index
• 27:47
  finger in the game stayed in and it had a visible effect, an
• 27:52
  absolutely visible effect on on the way that game went.
• 27:56
  I just don't think so. It was Devante's first game
• 28:00
  back. They had Stevens pieces, one of
• 28:03
  their one of their secondary pieces, last name Leigh, kind of
• 28:05
  remember the first name, his first game back Quinton.
• 28:10
  Quinton, right? I thought you were a Ramsay and
• 28:12
  will come on. Yeah, well, first year, show me
• 28:15
  some slides. I'm new to this.
• 28:17
  Thank you. Appreciate that.
• 28:18
  Done. I just think it's their first
• 28:20
  game back as I said about Fred Warner and they've had one game
• 28:23
  with their belt to try to mesh together.
• 28:25
  I just don't think it's going to be the same thing.
• 28:28
  I also think that just kind of like everyone, me included,
• 28:32
  well, not really kind of me included.
• 28:35
  No one really took the Panthers seriously.
• 28:37
  Oh, well, the Panthers are cute. Rams are going to win.
• 28:40
  And so they kind of win in with that mindset, like, OK, we're
• 28:43
  just going to kind of win. And then the Panthers went, hold
• 28:45
  on. We made the playoffs.
• 28:47
  We're here to play football. And kind of just like like we
• 28:50
  noted exactly as I said, it happened.
• 28:52
  The Rams in there is bad. It's going to come down to it.
• 28:55
  And then the playoff experience going to play into fact here.
• 28:59
  I think we're going to be in the same way, although I think the
• 29:04
  the Panthers did a better job scheming for Bryce Young who
• 29:08
  wants to stay in the pocket and throw the ball more then I think
• 29:12
  not. Not that Ben Johnson doesn't
• 29:13
  scheme well for Caleb Williams, I just think Caleb Williams
• 29:16
  plays more skiddard. I think that as soon as that
• 29:19
  defensive line for the for the Rams gets in, Caleb starts
• 29:22
  scrambling around. And when he starts to scramble
• 29:24
  around, he did make that one very beautiful throwing 4th
• 29:28
  down. But the amount of throws you can
• 29:30
  go watch where he's just scrambling around and throws a
• 29:33
  completely inaccurate ball is very high.
• 29:36
  So they're going to keep the pressure on him.
• 29:37
  Nate Landman, Puna Ford, Byron. Excuse me, Byron Young, The
• 29:43
  other boys down in the middle there.
• 29:44
  Turner Ford Young verse Jared verse headed for Jared.
• 29:49
  It doesn't matter. We're moving on.
• 29:51
  I think they're going to keep the pressure on him as we saw
• 29:54
  he's grown a lot with Colston Loveland and so if you take away
• 29:57
  their safety blanket, they get a lot less comfortable.
• 30:00
  I don't I don't like the Bears chances in this, but I also
• 30:05
  could definitely see them winning because as as we saw,
• 30:08
  you know, them hang around Caleb Williams will make it happen.
• 30:11
  And the Rams don't have a good enough defence.
• 30:14
  Yeah, the Rams don't have a good enough defense to not let it let
• 30:18
  it happen. And they have to stay foot in
• 30:19
  the gas, start hot. It's like they started hot in
• 30:22
  the Panthers game, but they have to stay on it the whole game.
• 30:25
  They can't let Matt Stapper get a sprained finger.
• 30:28
  Tests were negative, not broken by the way.
• 30:30
  That's good. That's good.
• 30:31
  That that is good. Very good.
• 30:35
  All right. Do you guys got anything else to
• 30:37
  add about the divisional round? I'd just like to reiterate, if
• 30:39
  you're expecting the same football, same level of football
• 30:42
  that we got in the wild card round, you probably should dial
• 30:45
  it back. I mean, there was the record was
• 30:47
  set for lead changes in the fourth quarter for the whole
• 30:51
  playoffs in the first round. I think we're going to get a lot
• 30:54
  more games like the Patriots, Chargers and the Texans,
• 30:57
  Steelers. So they're going to be slow and
• 30:59
  methodical field goal games. I mean, how many of the Patriots
• 31:03
  Super Bowls were won by an ad inventory field goal?
• 31:07
  Like you're just, you're just hoping, you're just hoping for
• 31:10
  the end. You got 2 great teams playing
• 31:13
  each other at this point. We've got 8 great teams left in
• 31:15
  the, in the league or in the in the race here.
• 31:18
  And everybody wants to win. And, and this is where defense
• 31:20
  really steps it up hopefully. And so if you're expecting fun
• 31:25
  shootouts, you come to the wrong place.
• 31:28
  That's the College Football Playoffs.
• 31:30
  Wait, Will, did you just call the Bears a great team?
• 31:33
  I I mean, they made it to the division around the playoffs.
• 31:35
  They're better than your team. What did I say?
• 31:38
  Huh? Who's that?
• 31:41
  You know what's funny is is on social media, but like for
• 31:44
  example, again with Avery's post about the Steelers, everyone is
• 31:47
  like, oh, they're better than your bucks, They're better than
• 31:49
  your Bucks. They say that like they say that
• 31:51
  like the the team that you're a fan of either qualifies you or
• 31:54
  disqualifies you to talk about NFL.
• 31:57
  I know. It it's stupid.
• 32:00
  Anyway, let's talk about some head coaching positions.
• 32:03
  So right now there are 9 head coaching jobs available.
• 32:08
  There was 8, but Mike Tomlin decided to step down as the
• 32:12
  Steelers head coach finally. And so now there are 9 open head
• 32:16
  coaching jobs. And so we're going to rank
• 32:18
  these. Do you guys want to go from 1:00
• 32:20
  to 9:00 or do you want to go 9 to one, nine to one?
• 32:24
  OK, let's go. I disagree actually.
• 32:31
  I do too. I need to put the Raiders.
• 32:33
  Let's start with Avery. Let's start with Avery, and
• 32:36
  we'll just go in the loop. So we'll go Avery, Will and then
• 32:38
  myself, and then we'll just keep going Browns.
• 32:43
  Why the Browns? I mean to that I would say
• 32:49
  anyone who questions that give me one reason why they should
• 32:53
  not be the lowest on here and then I will consider put it
• 32:58
  moving them up a spot or two. Because the Tennessee Titans are
• 33:01
  on here. No, no, no, no.
• 33:03
  I would much rather be with the Titans.
• 33:05
  Titans, Titans are Titans are coming up.
• 33:07
  Titans are coming up. They're getting a new stadium in
• 33:09
  like 2 seasons, are getting a little.
• 33:11
  Bit more cash I think. Oh, they're going to be, they're
• 33:14
  going to be, they're going to be hot commodity.
• 33:16
  They get, they get another variable again and don't fire
• 33:19
  him this time. They're going to be, they're
• 33:22
  going to be close to mediocre, which is more than I can say by
• 33:25
  the Browns. The Titans have a quarterback
• 33:28
  who threw less touchdown passes than games played.
• 33:31
  The Browns have. More.
• 33:33
  Quarterbacks than the they also. Have an elite defense.
• 33:40
  Where were they in the playoffs again?
• 33:45
  Yeah, the Browns. Every time I hear.
• 33:48
  About them, it sounds like it sounds like Real Housewives of
• 33:50
  the Browns. It's just like what's going on
• 33:53
  now? Who like who's making a fuss
• 33:55
  now? Baker Mayfield acted like it was
• 33:58
  he got out of the last chop out of nom like it.
• 34:00
  It sounds like it's just like the the jet sounds bad.
• 34:05
  The Raiders are just bad, but the Browns sounds like it's like
• 34:08
  no, this will suck your soul. Like this is like if you're a
• 34:12
  coach, if you're if I was a head coach and I could go to the
• 34:16
  Browns, like I'm going to be I'm going to be a meme if I don't
• 34:21
  win at least half games, I'm going to be a meme.
• 34:23
  If I go to the Titans, at least I'm going to be in like the
• 34:25
  background. If I go to The Jets, at least no
• 34:27
  one's going to expect me to do good.
• 34:30
  But the Browns, just at least there's Miles Garrett.
• 34:36
  That's like the one thing And I I don't even know how much
• 34:39
  longer he's going to be able to take it.
• 34:40
  I think it's just because he's got his own little Kingdom and
• 34:43
  he's like, look, I just show up to work.
• 34:45
  I collect my massive paycheck and I go back home and I watch
• 34:48
  anime with my wife. Like that's all I do.
• 34:50
  I don't get involved in anything else.
• 34:55
  Oh, OK. All right.
• 34:56
  Will which head coaching position do you think is the
• 34:59
  worst? My worst head coach job has got
• 35:01
  to be the Las Vegas Raiders. It's got to be.
• 35:04
  You have the number one pick this year and it's not going to
• 35:07
  help. You're going to take Mendoza
• 35:09
  most likely, and that's not even your problem.
• 35:12
  You traded away Jacoby Myers, you only have Brock Bowers,
• 35:16
  you've got Ashton Gente, but you don't have an offensive line.
• 35:19
  You cannot protect anybody back there.
• 35:21
  You have one pick, you're going to pick a quarterback.
• 35:23
  It's not going to fix a darn thing.
• 35:26
  People come to Las Vegas, they get distracted by the city, by
• 35:29
  the lights, by the everything. It's a very transient town.
• 35:33
  Las Vegas is the worst. It's it is just a bad situation
• 35:39
  and it's not going to get better anytime soon.
• 35:42
  Your stadium is always full and that's great.
• 35:44
  You got a new one that's great. But it's full of people who are
• 35:47
  in Vegas and oh, while we're here, let's see a game just like
• 35:51
  the three of us did. Oh, hey, while we're there,
• 35:53
  let's see a game you don't have. And I'm going to tell you they
• 35:56
  were loud in there, I'm sure, but I just this team you've got
• 36:02
  Max Crosby, who I mean you, you put them on IR and in the very
• 36:07
  next day he splits an Instagram video out of him jumping on a
• 36:11
  trampoline shooting basketballs proven I'm not actually injured.
• 36:15
  These guys are just messing with you.
• 36:17
  I just don't think this Raiders team is it it's in a bad way and
• 36:22
  it's not going to get better anytime soon.
• 36:24
  I'm. Going to go with the Tennessee
• 36:26
  Titans, obviously. I think their offensive line
• 36:29
  sucks, Their wide receivers can't catch.
• 36:31
  You have a quarterback who threw less touchdown passes than he
• 36:33
  played in games. I don't think Cam Ward is very
• 36:36
  good. I don't think he was very good
• 36:37
  going into the draft. Jackson Dart is clearly better.
• 36:40
  When I think of the Titans, I think of like if you think of
• 36:43
  all the teams and like good players, I can think of 1
• 36:47
  actually good player on that roster, Jeffrey Simmons on
• 36:50
  defense and then that's it. Like I don't and nobody else
• 36:53
  comes to mind. I think their roster just
• 36:55
  overall is just bad. So I went with the Tennessee
• 37:00
  science. All right #8 Avery, who you got
• 37:04
  at #8? I got the Raiders.
• 37:11
  A big reason. I just, it feels like after
• 37:15
  having been there with you guys, it just, it feels like playing
• 37:22
  at a bowl game, like, like if you're playing anyone with a
• 37:27
  decent fan base, it's an away game for you.
• 37:30
  And it just feels like, I don't know, it like being there, it
• 37:35
  did not feel. It just felt like, Oh yeah,
• 37:37
  we're from Vegas and that's cool that we got a team.
• 37:40
  We're going to support the team. Then they play Kansas City and
• 37:43
  it's like, oh, is this Arrowhead new stadium?
• 37:46
  Like, I mean, even the Jags had a lot of fans and that was
• 37:49
  before anyone realized they were good this season.
• 37:52
  True. I just, I just, it just doesn't
• 37:55
  seem like they're really on the precipice of anything great and
• 38:00
  history and the the curse that my science teacher sophomore
• 38:04
  year told me about, which I believe because I was young and
• 38:07
  impressionable back then. I just don't think.
• 38:11
  I just don't think they're. Yeah.
• 38:13
  Like having heard that, I'm like, yeah, that is not a good
• 38:16
  job to take if you want to. Win.
• 38:18
  What is this curse for the rest of us that don't know what
• 38:20
  you're talking about? He was saying like he, he, him
• 38:22
  and his like grandma were like were fans or something and like
• 38:27
  his grandma said something or I don't even remember.
• 38:30
  All I remember was that he was had one of those smart boards
• 38:34
  and while he was not knowing how to use it because it was the
• 38:37
  first year and he's trying to figure out and there's those
• 38:39
  four different colored pens. I don't really pens and he's
• 38:41
  like this reminds me like the Raiders are cursed, like they
• 38:46
  something happened and they've never like won a Super Bowl or
• 38:49
  gone to the playoffs since, and that's just going to keep going.
• 38:51
  So and he like told us he's like, if anyone asks you, the
• 38:54
  Raiders are bad and like they're cursed.
• 38:57
  I remember that. I don't remember the whole
• 38:58
  story, but I do remember. I don't remember the teacher's
• 39:00
  name. I remember what he looked like.
• 39:02
  Ish. But like, I remember that and it
• 39:05
  stuck with me. And that tells me the vibes,
• 39:08
  vibes. Not a good job.
• 39:10
  And it hasn't been a good job. So he's been right since 2000.
• 39:15
  What, 8? So yeah.
• 39:19
  All right, Will, who you got at #8?
• 39:22
  I'm in the Cleveland Browns. If we're not paying your phone
• 39:25
  if I'm not paying. Your phone.
• 39:26
  They're not the worst, but they're the second worst.
• 39:28
  Yeah, if I'm not paying the Browns at 9, I'm paying the
• 39:30
  Browns at 8. This job sucks.
• 39:32
  Nobody wants to play for Cleveland.
• 39:34
  I think a big piece here is the city too.
• 39:36
  The at least, at least Las Vegas is a destination city.
• 39:41
  Tennessee, Miami, Baltimore, Atlanta, New York Giants, even
• 39:46
  Pittsburgh's a football town. Arizona, people want to go there
• 39:49
  because the sun's out. Cleveland just sucks.
• 39:52
  It's not even, it's not even the best team in Ohio.
• 39:54
  Like, like Ohio, if you're going to be a fan of a team there,
• 39:58
  you're going to pick the Buckeyes.
• 40:00
  Yeah, you got the Bengals, you got the Browns.
• 40:02
  Cool. But like like you're going to
• 40:04
  pick a team that's going to keep winning.
• 40:05
  There are lots of Browns fans and lots of die hard Browns,
• 40:08
  Browns fans and they're out there week after week supporting
• 40:12
  that team. I just don't think, I just don't
• 40:15
  think it's a good job. They've got what, pick six this
• 40:18
  year and they've got Jacksonville's pick at pick 24.
• 40:22
  So they've got a couple first round picks this year.
• 40:24
  So at least you're stepping into maybe a little bit more help,
• 40:29
  but as we've seen in the past, you're pretty much stuck with
• 40:32
  playing Sdur Sanders or you're going to get fired.
• 40:34
  All right, Kevin Stefanski. So good luck.
• 40:37
  Just kind of how that goes. Good luck all.
• 40:42
  Right. And #8 I've got the Las Vegas
• 40:45
  Raiders. I couldn't bring myself to put
• 40:47
  them any higher than this because Mark Davis's haircut is
• 40:49
  just so bad. I don't understand why you would
• 40:52
  want to go there and look at that haircut every single day.
• 40:54
  So I know you have the number one overall pick, which is
• 40:57
  probably Fernando Mendoza. You have Brock Bowers, you have
• 40:59
  Ashton Gente, but you don't have an offensive line.
• 41:02
  And if you pick Fernando Mendoza without an offensive line, he's
• 41:05
  going to get absolutely murdered.
• 41:07
  I just think it's a terrible job.
• 41:09
  And Max Crosby may or may not be there, but you got to focus on
• 41:13
  building that offense because you're probably drafting
• 41:16
  Mendoza. You have to build the offensive
• 41:18
  line, which allowed the most sacks in the NFL this year.
• 41:21
  But ultimately, why would you want to look at Mark Davis's
• 41:23
  haircut every single day? Like, why would you want to do
• 41:25
  that? Also, why would you want to
• 41:28
  coach in the same division as the Broncos and the Chargers and
• 41:34
  the Chiefs? I know the Chiefs weren't good
• 41:36
  this year, but it's Patrick Mahomes is still going to be
• 41:38
  there for a while. So I don't think you would want
• 41:41
  to coach in that division. All right, Avery, who you got as
• 41:45
  the number 7? I got the Titans.
• 41:49
  You know, I still don't think it's a great job, but I know
• 41:51
  it's better than the Raiders and the Browns.
• 41:57
  I wasn't. Trying to like hype it up, but
• 41:59
  it is, I do think it's better than I don't think it's the
• 42:02
  bottom. All right, Will, what about you?
• 42:05
  I also have the Titans, and it's for some of the things that
• 42:07
  Avery said. They're getting a new stadium.
• 42:09
  They are. They're perpetually bad, sure,
• 42:15
  but they're not. They weren't that bad in recent
• 42:18
  history. Just get the right coach back in
• 42:20
  there. I think there's going to be a
• 42:22
  lot of available quarterbacks. 2 are probably going to be
• 42:26
  available. Tyler Murray probably be
• 42:28
  available. Malik Davis actually available
• 42:31
  after this year. So like, you've got some guys,
• 42:32
  Willis, Malik. Willis.
• 42:34
  Yes, Malik Willis. Excuse me, who the heck is Malik
• 42:37
  Davis? Somebody.
• 42:40
  Somebody my bad. He's watching, he's watching.
• 42:42
  Right now. And he was like.
• 42:44
  Didn't mean to out you like that.
• 42:46
  I actually. I actually think he either was
• 42:49
  or is a running back for the Cowboys.
• 42:53
  That checks out. Just burned my brain.
• 42:55
  Anyway, Millie Willis will be available, and so there are
• 42:58
  pieces you can bring in. You've got a couple good.
• 43:01
  Well, a good young wide receiver.
• 43:03
  Yeah, he was a running back for the Cowboys.
• 43:06
  He just pulled that out of his like subconscious.
• 43:10
  You've got pick 4, which could be better, but could definitely
• 43:14
  be worse too. So I don't know, I think
• 43:16
  Tennessee could be a worse job, but it's not.
• 43:20
  They need to get like a foundational guy in there
• 43:22
  though, and like like somebody who's actually going to build
• 43:25
  their own culture, not just all right, well, I'm just going to
• 43:28
  kind of be here. They look at like honestly, like
• 43:32
  a Harbaugh CEO type who or like a variable CEO type Dan
• 43:37
  Campbell, who doesn't have to call the plays.
• 43:39
  This is my culture, my team here and do it my way or get out like
• 43:44
  how they had Dan Campbell. They let him go, so yeah, yeah,
• 43:48
  get. Dan Campbell back from the
• 43:49
  building. That'll help.
• 43:52
  All right, at #7 I've got the Miami Dolphins.
• 43:55
  And the reason I have the Dolphins is because why would
• 43:59
  you want to play in the same division as Josh Allen and Drake
• 44:01
  May? Why would you want to do that?
• 44:04
  Also, you have Tua's massive contract that they just recently
• 44:07
  gave him. So you either ride it out with
• 44:09
  Tua or you have to deal with the impact of letting him go with
• 44:13
  that massive contract. I just think this whole roster
• 44:16
  needs to be completely reset in my opinion.
• 44:19
  Just trade everyone, get as many draft picks as you can, just
• 44:22
  reset the whole thing. I think they need a lot more
• 44:25
  than just a coach. I think it's going to take a lot
• 44:28
  more than just bringing in a new coach because I think that whole
• 44:31
  situation is just a disaster and their their ownership just
• 44:36
  doesn't really seem to be aware of how to run an NFL team
• 44:41
  properly. So I I know you know, you could
• 44:46
  make the case for another team here, but I just think it's the
• 44:49
  Dolphins just because I wouldn't want to coach in the same
• 44:51
  division as two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
• 44:55
  Hey Avery, you got it 6. You got the Cardinals.
• 44:58
  I think. I will say because it kind of it
• 45:03
  explains my pick, I've got the Dolphins at 5:00, but I just, I
• 45:07
  think the Dolphins edge out the Cardinals a little bit.
• 45:09
  I think I kind of agree with what you're saying.
• 45:11
  I think the two contract is an issue.
• 45:13
  However, I think they've got a lot of weapons there and I think
• 45:17
  at first I was thinking like, I think if anyone should be able
• 45:19
  to get this offense running, it would be Mike McDaniels.
• 45:22
  But I think they still have enough pieces there.
• 45:25
  And I think if you had someone who was competent going in
• 45:29
  there, I think within a year they could turn it around to at
• 45:32
  least a playoff contender. Plus it's in Miami.
• 45:35
  I just think that, I mean, just as far as jobs go, I think that
• 45:38
  would be better than the Cardinals think.
• 45:41
  The Cardinals got some other issues too, but I think the
• 45:45
  Cardinals might even have better potential in their roster than
• 45:51
  the Dolphins right now. Even though it looks like a
• 45:53
  mess. But I still got the Cardinals at
• 45:56
  six. Right will.
• 45:59
  I have the Miami Dolphins at six for all the same reason.
• 46:02
  We've already talked about. It's not a great division.
• 46:04
  It's easy to get distracted down to Miami, although it is a good
• 46:07
  destination. I, I just don't really, I,
• 46:10
  they've got good history, good culture down there.
• 46:12
  Well, they had good history, good culture down there a long
• 46:14
  time ago and they're trying to bring it back.
• 46:16
  I just, it's going to take a strong coach who's willing to
• 46:21
  reign in his players because again, Miami's nightlife is
• 46:25
  distracting. People get in trouble down there
• 46:27
  and so maybe that's a draw towards players.
• 46:31
  Older players like to retire in warmer places.
• 46:34
  That's why you saw, for instance, speaking out of
• 46:37
  nowhere, JJ Watt went to Arizona after Houston, right?
• 46:40
  He didn't go somewhere else. He he went to Arizona.
• 46:44
  And so that's the warmer climate will draw on the older players.
• 46:48
  You do have a quarterback on a giant contract and and basically
• 46:52
  no one else. Tyree Hill can't seem to stay
• 46:54
  healthy. You've got to run a chance.
• 46:55
  You have a decent team you're stepping into.
• 46:58
  There's just a lot of distractions down there and I
• 47:00
  just don't. I don't think it's great.
• 47:03
  Right now, number six, I've got the Arizona Cardinals.
• 47:06
  I don't think the Cardinals job is very attractive at all
• 47:09
  because why would you want to coach in the NFC West?
• 47:12
  Why would you want to do that? That division is stacked right
• 47:15
  now. It's a very tough division to
• 47:16
  coach in and there's just with how good those three teams are,
• 47:21
  I just don't think that's a very attractive position for you to
• 47:24
  be, especially when you don't have a legitimate quarterback.
• 47:27
  I think Jacoby Brissett is a baller, but I don't think he's
• 47:31
  going to get you into the playoffs in that division,
• 47:33
  especially with the team that you have right now, especially
• 47:36
  when you have to play the Rams, the Seahawks and the 49ers.
• 47:39
  I just don't see a way where you're going to make the play
• 47:42
  offs. And maybe, you know, probably
• 47:44
  you're going to get a little bit more time to build up that
• 47:46
  roster. But how are you going to do that
• 47:48
  when you can't figure out what you're doing at quarterback?
• 47:51
  And how long is it going to take you to figure out what you're
• 47:53
  doing at quarterback? Because these other three teams
• 47:56
  in the division have that figured out.
• 47:58
  They have that figured out either.
• 48:01
  I mean, I don't know what the Rams are doing with Stafford.
• 48:02
  I don't know what Stafford's doing.
• 48:03
  But for now, since I don't know, I'll just say they have their
• 48:06
  quarterback situation figured out long term and the Cardinals
• 48:10
  do not. So you've got Trey McBride on
• 48:13
  offense, But honestly, with the way things have been going in
• 48:17
  Arizona, I think there's a good chance that they end up trading
• 48:20
  him, whether he requests a trade or they just trade him to get
• 48:23
  more picks and reset the roster. I think there's a good chance of
• 48:26
  that. But I don't think the Cardinals
• 48:28
  job is very attractive at all, mostly because you're in the NFC
• 48:31
  West, right #5 Who you got at #5 Avery.
• 48:37
  The Dolphins, we just got those swapped for the same reasons.
• 48:40
  I, I honestly, I feel like the Dolphins and Cardinals are kind
• 48:43
  of the same type of position. I think those could have gone,
• 48:45
  go to gone either way, the six or five, 5 or 6.
• 48:48
  I do agree with what Will said. I do think as a pro and as a NFL
• 48:55
  player, I think being in Miami might be a little bit of a
• 48:59
  temptation. I mean, I just, I remember just
• 49:02
  that little video of Tyreke Hill, honest.
• 49:04
  I can't remember if he got in an accident or something with some
• 49:07
  altercation outside of the stadium or something like with
• 49:09
  the cops. Oh yeah, he got pulled over,
• 49:11
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 49:13
  I mean, that was just one that's a that's an anecdote, but I, I,
• 49:16
  I do think that could be an issue.
• 49:18
  But I just think the Dolphins job, I think it just has more of
• 49:21
  a spotlight on it. And I think that, I mean, you
• 49:24
  could see it as winning, but also I, I think a lot of
• 49:27
  coaches, I mean it, it comes down to your exposure.
• 49:29
  It's all about the inner you're always interviewing for your
• 49:32
  next job. And I think that Dolphins
• 49:33
  position is just a edges out the Cardinals.
• 49:37
  All right, Will, who you got? I lost my list and now I have to
• 49:41
  figure out who I haven't have not said got it.
• 49:47
  We are at #6 correct. #5. #5 great, perfect.
• 49:51
  Then I'm right on track. I've actually got the New York
• 49:54
  Giants here, man. I I just like the other teams
• 50:01
  better. I think that's where it comes
• 50:03
  down to is that the Giants are lucrative.
• 50:06
  You had a young team, yeah, a young quarterback who seems to
• 50:09
  be OK. The problem is, is everybody
• 50:12
  gets hurt on that team. Everyone gets hurt on that team,
• 50:14
  right? You lost your best receiver,
• 50:16
  gone. Your star running back who
• 50:18
  emerged this year, gone. Spice Jackson Duck didn't get
• 50:21
  hurt the way he was taking hits. Well, he did have like 20
• 50:24
  concussions. Bingo.
• 50:26
  You were supposed to have some All Star great defensive line
• 50:30
  didn't pan out and and things just didn't seem to work out for
• 50:34
  the Giants and it's kind of been that way since Eli Manning.
• 50:36
  What things just haven't quite worked out even with Eli
• 50:40
  Manning, who he finished with an exact 500 win loss record for
• 50:44
  his career was like 271 and 271 or something like that.
• 50:48
  Some of your fact checked out. I don't really care.
• 50:50
  It was exactly 505 hundred though he won the exact same
• 50:53
  amount. So things he, he did win 2 Super
• 50:56
  Bowls. You got 2 semi recent Super
• 50:57
  Bowls there, which is great. And you're trying to get back to
• 51:00
  that. I just, I just don't think this
• 51:02
  job in New York is as lucrative as you want.
• 51:04
  You got the number 5 pick this year and you're sharing a
• 51:07
  stadium, which is fine, whatever, who cares?
• 51:10
  You're also lying about it because your name is in New York
• 51:12
  Giants, your stadiums in New Jersey.
• 51:15
  Let's be real about it, please. I just don't think this Giants
• 51:18
  job is near as tasty as people think You're playing in the NFC
• 51:21
  East is drill life to point out to where it is a bit softer.
• 51:25
  The Eagles have run the division for a while and it seems as if
• 51:27
  if the Cowboys can get healthy next year that they should be
• 51:30
  poised to have a pretty good year.
• 51:32
  OK, and #5 this is where I've got the Cleveland Browns.
• 51:36
  I think the Browns job is actually a lot more attractive
• 51:38
  than people think it is because whoever is the coach, you
• 51:41
  already have a great defense. You've got Miles Garrett, you've
• 51:44
  got Carson Swessinger, you've got some really good pieces on
• 51:46
  defense. So you already have that side of
• 51:48
  the ball established. You do need to figure out what
• 51:51
  you're doing on offense, but you do have some good pieces there
• 51:53
  as well. You've got some good young
• 51:55
  running backs, You've got Harold Finn and Junior who had a really
• 51:57
  good season in his rookie year. You just need to figure out what
• 52:01
  you're doing at quarterback. There's a couple other positions
• 52:03
  too, but mostly at quarterback, but at least you already have
• 52:06
  one side of the ball fully established.
• 52:09
  I think the AFC North is in limbo a little bit right now
• 52:12
  because the Ravens don't have a coach, the Steelers don't have a
• 52:15
  coach. The Bengals suck, their defense
• 52:19
  is terrible. You don't know if Joe Burrow is
• 52:21
  actually going to be there. So right now I think the Browns
• 52:25
  is a lot more attractive because the the division is in limbo.
• 52:29
  None of the teams are particularly good and it's a
• 52:33
  it's a good opportunity to come in to a division where there's
• 52:36
  going to be a lot of changes and you can do your thing with your
• 52:41
  team and potentially win the division.
• 52:43
  I'm not saying the Browns are going to, but there's a lot of
• 52:47
  opportunity there specifically because you have an elite
• 52:50
  defense. You already have an elite team
• 52:52
  on one side of the ball. So just come in, figure out the
• 52:56
  other side, and I think all you have to do is just have a
• 52:59
  mediocre offense and you can win games.
• 53:03
  You don't have to have a good offense, You just have to have
• 53:05
  mediocre offense and you can win games because you already have
• 53:08
  an elite defense. So that's why I have the Browns
• 53:10
  at 5. All right #4 Who you got, Avery?
• 53:15
  You got the Falcons. I think the Falcons are just 1,
• 53:23
  one good coach away from piercing it all together.
• 53:27
  I don't mean that their previous coaches weren't good, but I mean
• 53:29
  like the right coach. I, I, I feel like the Falcons
• 53:32
  are always on the precipice of being a good team.
• 53:37
  They rarely just have garbage players.
• 53:39
  They've always got good pieces, maybe not the best.
• 53:42
  I feel like they're usually just like barely above average, but
• 53:44
  like they just constantly fall short.
• 53:47
  And I just feel like there's just if you just have the right
• 53:50
  guy there to put the pieces together, I feel like they could
• 53:52
  be really good. So I've I like that position.
• 53:54
  I feel like that job in particular is just has enough
• 54:00
  potential to elevate you. So I think Falcons.
• 54:06
  Are full all right, who you got Will.
• 54:08
  I also have the Falcons at #4 I like the roster, I like the
• 54:12
  area. I was, I mean, everybody was
• 54:15
  maybe not everybody. I was a bit shocked that they
• 54:17
  fired their head coach winning four straight games in the
• 54:19
  season. I I don't think it was now fair.
• 54:24
  Who cares, right? You don't have a first round
• 54:27
  pick this year. You gave it to the Rams, but
• 54:29
  again, you finished season 8-9 last year, 8:00 and 9:00 last
• 54:32
  year and on a four-game win streak.
• 54:36
  So obviously your, your culture was hitting, your pieces were,
• 54:40
  were meshing together. And so you're stepping into a
• 54:43
  team that's that is able to win. I mean, so it's just a few
• 54:48
  pieces here and there. Bring a couple veterans.
• 54:50
  I like to sit on a team. I I'm surprised they're on the
• 54:53
  head coaching search. All right, and #4 I've got the
• 54:59
  Pittsburgh Steelers. I think they have a decent team,
• 55:02
  but it's an older team. You have no quarterback because
• 55:06
  Aaron Rodgers is probably going to retire and yes, will I know
• 55:10
  will Howard is there yes, I know he has no experience as a
• 55:13
  starting quarterback. You don't know what you're doing
• 55:16
  at quarterback. You're going to have a later
• 55:19
  draft pick because they made the playoffs.
• 55:21
  And I just think that, you know, a lot of these guys on defense
• 55:24
  like Cam Hayward and TJ Watt, like they're getting up there in
• 55:29
  H They're I know they're still good players, but they're
• 55:32
  getting up there. They're a little bit older of a
• 55:34
  team. So yes, they do have more
• 55:35
  experience, But I just, I, I don't understand why the
• 55:40
  Steelers haven't figured out what their long term plan is at
• 55:43
  quarterback. And maybe that's the reason that
• 55:45
  Tomlin decided to step down because he didn't know how to do
• 55:48
  that. But I just, I just think that
• 55:51
  this team is, it's an attractive place to go because it's the
• 55:54
  Steelers, but it's not as attractive as some might think
• 55:57
  because that team is a little bit older.
• 56:00
  And so I think you're going to be, you know, you don't have a
• 56:02
  necessarily a long term plan in place.
• 56:07
  All right #3 Here you go, Avery. Got the Ravens at three.
• 56:14
  Yeah, yeah, a little surprise. I think the Ravens have the best
• 56:20
  team currently. I think that if for any coach to
• 56:24
  jump in there, I think they have the pieces there Sounded like
• 56:29
  there was some issue between Harbaugh and Jackson.
• 56:34
  Not really sure what that was or if that's just simply like maybe
• 56:37
  that is the organization being like, hey, we got to, you know,
• 56:40
  let you go, you know, our quarterback doesn't like you.
• 56:44
  But with Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson, I think that you got a
• 56:48
  great chance to do a lot there. So you got them at 3:00?
• 56:52
  OK, what about you Will? I, this is where I have the
• 56:55
  Arizona Cardinals at #3 I think you have, you have a team
• 57:00
  that's, I mean, they were right there in every single game.
• 57:03
  They lost. They, they were kind of the
• 57:05
  opposite of the Broncos this year.
• 57:07
  They put up a lot of points. They just couldn't stop anybody
• 57:10
  from putting up points. They look up, I don't know what
• 57:13
  they're they're point margin differential is, but it's got to
• 57:17
  be one of the worst in the league.
• 57:19
  You've got an offense that's ready to win the emerging star
• 57:22
  Michael Wilson. You've got Marvin Harrison
• 57:24
  Junior, you've got Trey McBride. You've got a rotating core of
• 57:27
  running backs. Take your third pick, either
• 57:30
  trade it, get a good quarterback in that's a veteran that's ready
• 57:33
  to lead the team. I don't think was said that they
• 57:38
  could keep Tyler Murray. Tyler Murray's not your answer.
• 57:40
  I mean, you saw it clearly. You need a quarterback who can
• 57:43
  actually see over the offensive lineman.
• 57:45
  Get one of these guys maybe, maybe you get Malik Willis in
• 57:47
  there and let him lead your team.
• 57:49
  I don't think he's a step up from from Jacoby percent.
• 57:53
  I think he's a sidestep from Jacoby percent.
• 57:55
  Keep Jacoby for that matter. Just bolster that defense.
• 57:58
  It was shown time and time again that Jacoby cancelling the ball
• 58:02
  60 * a game. He's good at it.
• 58:04
  He did it well. They just didn't have a defense.
• 58:07
  I could stop, stop anything. I mean, it was like a civil
• 58:10
  diary. Everything was getting through.
• 58:12
  So most of that defense up. I do think you're right.
• 58:15
  They're into the probably the toughest division of all these
• 58:18
  teams. NFC West beings that three of
• 58:21
  the four teams are in the divisional round of the playoffs
• 58:23
  and the other team is the Cardinals picking at #3 So you
• 58:27
  have a tough Rd. uphill. But if you are, if you hire the
• 58:31
  right people and the Cardinals played, I think that the Niners,
• 58:34
  the the 49ers, the Rams and the Seahawks probably toughest on
• 58:40
  anybody. The NFC West is a a bruised and
• 58:43
  bloody division when it when it's all is said and done.
• 58:46
  I like that job. It's also an enticing place to
• 58:48
  play because you know Arizona and warm and sunshine.
• 58:51
  And just so you know, will the Cardinals have a point
• 58:54
  differential of -133 which is the fifth worst?
• 58:58
  5th worst? Yeah, not the worst, but not far
• 59:02
  off. Right and #3 I've got the
• 59:06
  Atlanta Falcons. I think the Falcons head
• 59:10
  coaching position is very attractive because I think they
• 59:13
  are a good head coach and a good quarterback away from competing.
• 59:17
  If you look at their overall roster, they have a star running
• 59:20
  back, they have a star wide receiver, They have a good
• 59:22
  offensive line which only allowed 26 sacks this year,
• 59:25
  which was tied for the third least.
• 59:26
  They have a good defense that's getting better.
• 59:28
  A young defense to The Falcons were second in the league in
• 59:31
  sacks with 57. They have promising young pieces
• 59:34
  on defense. They barely allowed 200 yards
• 59:37
  passing a game. So their defense is stepping it
• 59:40
  up and they're an overall young defense.
• 59:42
  I think they have a lot of young star pieces that they can work
• 59:46
  off of. They just have to find the right
• 59:49
  quarterback and the right coach. And if they can do that, I think
• 59:52
  that they can actually compete for a playoff spot.
• 59:55
  So I think the Falcons is a very attractive job.
• 59:58
  They just have to figure out what they're doing with Michael
• 1:00:00
  Pennix because he's not it. And Kirko Chains is 37, so you
• 1:00:05
  got to figure that out. But outside of that, I think
• 1:00:07
  their overall roster is pretty solid, right #2 Who you got,
• 1:00:11
  Avery? All right, at 2, I got the
• 1:00:13
  Steelers mainly because I just think that's probably the
• 1:00:17
  cushiest job around. They've had how many coaches
• 1:00:21
  since what, the 60s? Like 3.
• 1:00:24
  Yes, 3. And they were.
• 1:00:26
  They haven't fired a coach in 69 I think.
• 1:00:28
  Did they just ask him? He stepped down in his own.
• 1:00:32
  Quit. I know, but they're like, we're
• 1:00:34
  not firing you because that's not our culture.
• 1:00:36
  You need to step down. Yeah, basically is what?
• 1:00:38
  Happened. I don't think we'll ever know
• 1:00:40
  that part for sure, but that's. We'll never know but you.
• 1:00:43
  Know. Step down.
• 1:00:48
  No, I, I, I just think that's AI think that's a great culture.
• 1:00:50
  I think for the most part, I think a lot more teams should
• 1:00:53
  adopt that that kind of culture. Like look, we're, this is like
• 1:00:57
  the new regime. We're going to, we have trusted
• 1:01:00
  them, we have given them money and access to the team.
• 1:01:04
  We are going to let them like ride with this for a while, you
• 1:01:09
  know, like there will be some probably bumpy roads.
• 1:01:11
  But instead of just swapping it out, you know, I have a best
• 1:01:15
  friend. We got an argument, new best
• 1:01:16
  friend, you know, Oh, we got an argument, new best friend.
• 1:01:18
  It's like, OK, why don't you like work it out?
• 1:01:21
  Why don't you like give it some time?
• 1:01:23
  You don't win the Super Bowl every year no matter what team
• 1:01:25
  you are. So like, just let it chill.
• 1:01:27
  And I think that's part of the reason the Steelers have been as
• 1:01:30
  successful as they have been throughout the years.
• 1:01:33
  So just for that reason, I think the Steelers job is a pretty
• 1:01:37
  sweet job. And I think they take, I would
• 1:01:39
  assume they take more consideration like they are a
• 1:01:42
  little care, a little more careful than other teams in
• 1:01:44
  choosing that because they know that coach is going to stick
• 1:01:47
  around for a while. OK.
• 1:01:49
  All right. Well, who you have it too.
• 1:01:50
  I also have the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 1:01:52
  I think that Pittsburgh is a good spot.
• 1:01:55
  They've got a team built to win. They just make the playoffs.
• 1:01:57
  Just one NFC North or AFC North, Excuse me.
• 1:02:00
  That division is very gettable right now.
• 1:02:03
  As mentioned, three of the four teams have open coaching jobs
• 1:02:07
  and the fourth is the Bengals, so who knows what you're going
• 1:02:09
  to get there. Somehow Zach Taylor made out all
• 1:02:12
  of this. For now, we'll see what happens.
• 1:02:15
  I like the Steelers position. I I don't know, like you said,
• 1:02:17
  it's the cushiest job, right? You know, you know, chances are
• 1:02:20
  low you're getting fired. They're going to fire every
• 1:02:22
  coordinator around you years before they over fired you as
• 1:02:25
  head coach. So yeah.
• 1:02:28
  All right, I've got their division rival at #2 the
• 1:02:31
  Baltimore Ravens. If you want to be a coach with
• 1:02:35
  Super Bowl expectations, this is the team you want.
• 1:02:38
  Because you have two time MVP at quarterback in Lamar Jackson and
• 1:02:41
  you have Derek Kenya running back.
• 1:02:43
  I mean, how can you not want to be on that team?
• 1:02:46
  But if you want to go to a team that you want to build up and
• 1:02:50
  that doesn't have Super Bowl expectations, this is not the
• 1:02:53
  job that you want. Because the moment you step in
• 1:02:55
  as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, you are going to be
• 1:02:58
  expected to make the playoffs, to win the division and to
• 1:03:01
  compete for the Super Bowl. The AFC North is going to be
• 1:03:04
  very winnable because, again, the Steelers don't know what
• 1:03:07
  they're doing at quarterback. The Bengals have a terrible
• 1:03:10
  defense, and you don't know if Joe Burrow is going to be there.
• 1:03:13
  And the Browns are the Browns. All right, Avery, who is your
• 1:03:21
  number one most attractive head coaching position right now?
• 1:03:25
  The Giants baby. It's new.
• 1:03:29
  York. That's I just feel like, dude,
• 1:03:31
  that's a spotlight, man. That's, you know, if you're a
• 1:03:33
  competitor, if you want to win, if you want that top job, you
• 1:03:37
  know, that Alabama job of the NFL, like that's it, you know,
• 1:03:41
  high expectations, high spotlight, But also I think
• 1:03:45
  they've got attractive things right now.
• 1:03:47
  I mean, I'm assuming all of those guys that are injured will
• 1:03:50
  be back next season. Hopefully they can stop them
• 1:03:53
  from getting hurt again the next season.
• 1:03:55
  But I just think that is just the premier spot.
• 1:03:58
  I think if Jerry Jones wasn't as involved, I think the, the, Oh
• 1:04:03
  my gosh, I'm trying to say the Dallas Giants, the Cowboys would
• 1:04:06
  be the best job. But because Jerry Jones still
• 1:04:10
  exists and still plays that same shit, it's our dad.
• 1:04:14
  I think the Giants are the top, top spot.
• 1:04:18
  All right, Will, who do you have at 1:00?
• 1:04:21
  The only team left, the Baltimore Ravens.
• 1:04:23
  I think if you're a head coach, you want to win and you think
• 1:04:27
  your plan is better than everybody else's.
• 1:04:29
  And so why not step into a team that is built to win right now?
• 1:04:33
  I think they had an absolute shock of the season this year.
• 1:04:36
  Eight wins was well below expectation, but they were right
• 1:04:41
  there at the end. Playing into the playoffs and
• 1:04:44
  your kicker misses a kick in your head, go to it's fired,
• 1:04:46
  right? And so you get a new kicker,
• 1:04:48
  maybe, maybe get some better pieces.
• 1:04:51
  You have to take 14 this year. Bring in an extra offensive
• 1:04:53
  lineman now that one literally never hurt you more help to get
• 1:04:57
  Lamar the ball out of his hands. Maybe other receiver in there.
• 1:05:01
  Maybe replace Mark Andrews. Keep Isaiah, likely get rid of
• 1:05:04
  Mark Andrews even though you just resigned him.
• 1:05:06
  I just think that this Ravens team is built to win right now.
• 1:05:10
  And if you were trying to be a head coach, I heard today in a
• 1:05:13
  different podcast that this is kind of the year of the return
• 1:05:16
  of head coaches. I think that we could see a
• 1:05:20
  strong head coach that is out of the game for now or maybe a guy
• 1:05:25
  who didn't work well somewhere step into Atlanta with a better
• 1:05:30
  team, better scenario. She's not Atlanta Baltimore with
• 1:05:34
  a better team, a better scenario and and then just absolutely
• 1:05:36
  crush it in a good way. I like what they've got going on
• 1:05:39
  there. I think that everything's going
• 1:05:40
  to be great for them moving forward.
• 1:05:43
  Just take the right coach at this point.
• 1:05:44
  I don't think Harbaugh was the wrong coach there.
• 1:05:47
  I also heard that they his message just got stale, right.
• 1:05:50
  You just need to need a need a fresh perspective.
• 1:05:53
  They stole. What I was going to say, I was
• 1:05:55
  going to say in the words of Avery's brother Sater, he was a
• 1:05:59
  piece of stale. Yeah, dog, sorry about that.
• 1:06:02
  Didn't mean to just RIP that from your mouth, in your mouth.
• 1:06:05
  Harbaugh just got stale. I think Harbaugh will absolutely
• 1:06:08
  be a coach somewhere else. I just think that they need to
• 1:06:11
  get some fresh eyes, fresh coach in there and then they'll be
• 1:06:15
  probably winning the North next year.
• 1:06:17
  OK, Yeah, I agree with Avery. I think it's the New York
• 1:06:20
  Giants. I think the Giants have the most
• 1:06:21
  attractive head coaching job right now because you don't have
• 1:06:25
  Super Bowl expectations walking in.
• 1:06:28
  And so if you don't win, then that's kind of what people are
• 1:06:31
  expecting right now anyway. But if you do win, if you put
• 1:06:34
  together a roster and you do win, you look super cool because
• 1:06:38
  the roster's been bad for a long time.
• 1:06:41
  You come with less expectations and you get to build around the
• 1:06:44
  pieces that you already have, which I think are great.
• 1:06:46
  You've got a young quarterback in Jackson Dart who showed a lot
• 1:06:49
  of potential this season. You have rookie running back Cam
• 1:06:53
  Scataboo. I know he got hurt.
• 1:06:54
  You have Malik Neighbors, I know he got hurt too.
• 1:06:56
  But you have some really nice pieces on offense to build
• 1:06:59
  around. You also have some good pieces
• 1:07:00
  on defense to build around, specifically Brian Burns, who
• 1:07:04
  had 16 1/2 sacks this year. You also have last year's number
• 1:07:07
  3 overall pick. And Abdul Carter, I know he
• 1:07:09
  didn't have a great season, but he's got a lot of potential.
• 1:07:12
  So you do have a lot of really good pieces that you can build
• 1:07:14
  around. And also Jackson Dart.
• 1:07:17
  Why would you not want to coach Jackson Dart?
• 1:07:19
  Come on, it's Jackson Dart. All right, so we're running out
• 1:07:22
  of time. We're getting very low on time,
• 1:07:23
  but let's just give who you think is your top available head
• 1:07:26
  coach right now. Avery, we'll start with you.
• 1:07:28
  Who do you think is the top available head coach right now?
• 1:07:32
  I'd say John Harbaugh, like in general, that seems to be the
• 1:07:36
  the main guy. That's who I would want.
• 1:07:39
  Also, I like Robert Sala. I mean, I think he's I do too.
• 1:07:43
  I just, I think with The Jets, I think he did as well as we could
• 1:07:47
  have expected. I think he's doing great with
• 1:07:49
  the Niners and I, I just generally like giving coach
• 1:07:54
  another opportunity at head coach after they've already had,
• 1:07:58
  whether you call it a failed stint.
• 1:08:00
  I feel like every coach has their job was either a failed
• 1:08:03
  stint unless they went up to a head coach.
• 1:08:04
  If you were a head coach and then you weren't, it was
• 1:08:06
  considered a failure, I guess. But I always see it as kind of a
• 1:08:09
  learning opportunity and I like to see those guys get back into
• 1:08:13
  it and kind of learn from their mistakes and go again.
• 1:08:15
  And I just think Robert just seems to have great energy and I
• 1:08:20
  like his vibe. Yeah, also he was with The Jets,
• 1:08:23
  so I don't hold that against. Now that's The Jets.
• 1:08:26
  Nobody does well with The Jets. So absolutely, I agree with you.
• 1:08:29
  I think Robert Sala is one of the top head coaches available.
• 1:08:33
  But Will who do you have as your top head coach available?
• 1:08:36
  I'd like to make an argument that Robert Sala is not
• 1:08:39
  available. He's actively under contract on
• 1:08:42
  a team stealing the playoffs, so I don't have him listed.
• 1:08:46
  So we'd like to go ahead, nerd, nerd.
• 1:08:49
  I'd like to go ahead and call for a recount here.
• 1:08:53
  So there's that. Who's your top?
• 1:08:56
  I don't know that will be. Available.
• 1:09:00
  Sean McDermott, maybe. No, I don't think he's getting
• 1:09:04
  fired. They won the first round.
• 1:09:05
  I don't think he's getting fired.
• 1:09:06
  I don't know, man. Kurt Cignetti, he's getting
• 1:09:10
  pulled out. He's getting pulled out of
• 1:09:13
  college. To coach the Raiders with he's
• 1:09:16
  getting pulled out of. Indiana to go to Alabama.
• 1:09:18
  They're like Caitlin, get out, get out.
• 1:09:21
  We found we found save and reincarnate.
• 1:09:25
  I actually think that honestly though, I actually think there's
• 1:09:28
  a strong chance, like a legitimate strong chance that
• 1:09:32
  Mario Cristobal is an ex coach to the Miami Dolphins.
• 1:09:36
  He moves from Hurricane to Dolphins.
• 1:09:38
  No, I don't. I don't think so, only be only
• 1:09:41
  because of his affinity for Miami Hurricanes.
• 1:09:44
  I don't think it has as much to do with the town like the city.
• 1:09:47
  I think it has more to do with the college.
• 1:09:48
  And that's saying I'm saying that as a coping Oregon fan.
• 1:09:52
  I'm like, if you left us for Miami, you better friggin stay
• 1:09:57
  there, dude. Like, because otherwise it was
• 1:10:00
  like, oh, I'm leaving because this is my, my best, my, my, my
• 1:10:03
  alma mater. And now it's like, actually it
• 1:10:05
  was just because it was a better job and now I'm going to leave
• 1:10:07
  again because I'm just a piece of shit.
• 1:10:08
  Sorry, dad, but he probably agrees.
• 1:10:10
  I'm sure he agrees with that anyways.
• 1:10:17
  I think for me, I'll go with somebody that you guys haven't
• 1:10:20
  mentioned. I think one of the top coaches
• 1:10:22
  that are available right now is Chargers defensive coordinator
• 1:10:26
  Jesse Minter. I think he's a fantastic coach.
• 1:10:29
  He's been the defensive coordinator for the Chargers for
• 1:10:31
  the last two seasons and since he's been with the Chargers as a
• 1:10:35
  defensive coordinator, the Chargers have ranked 1st in
• 1:10:37
  points per game allowing 17.7 and 9th in points per game,
• 1:10:41
  allowing 20, and they've ranked 11th and 5th in total yards
• 1:10:45
  allowed. I think he has come into the
• 1:10:47
  Chargers and he's changed their defense so they've been able to
• 1:10:51
  compete the last two years and I know it didn't make a difference
• 1:10:54
  for the playoffs, but that's not the defense's fault that they
• 1:10:57
  lost that game 100. Percent to pay the offense to 1
• 1:10:59
  touchdown. Yes, they own them to 16 points.
• 1:11:02
  That's very good. So he's been able to come in and
• 1:11:05
  change the defense for the Chargers.
• 1:11:06
  Also, before he was the defensive coordinator for the
• 1:11:09
  Chargers, he was the defensive coordinator for the Michigan
• 1:11:12
  Wolverines when they won the national championship.
• 1:11:16
  Asterisk he had in 2023 he had the best defense in the country
• 1:11:22
  allowing just 10.4 points per game and they were the best in
• 1:11:25
  total yards allowed. And then the year before in
• 1:11:28
  2022, which was his first year, they were 7th best in points
• 1:11:33
  allowed with 16.1 and they allowed the 6th most or 6th
• 1:11:37
  least. Sorry, total yards per game.
• 1:11:40
  So he has been a proven defensive coordinator at the
• 1:11:44
  college level. He's now a proven defensive
• 1:11:46
  coordinator in the NFL, and I think that he would be a very
• 1:11:49
  good head coach, especially if you're a team looking for a
• 1:11:52
  defensive head coach. I think that I would go with
• 1:11:55
  him. I put the asterisk there in
• 1:11:57
  reference to Jim, not your guy. I know, I know, all right.
• 1:12:04
  That guy was just an innocent. It was just a Millicent
• 1:12:06
  bystander. All right, it's.
• 1:12:09
  Just a dumb stick the reference. Well, that's all we got time for
• 1:12:12
