00:00But I do think we need to dedicate some time to pass rush.

00:04And John, they won the game.

00:05Needs to be said.

00:06It was good enough that day.

00:08Will it be good enough if they don't make a move?

00:12It'll be good enough against most opponents.

00:16And you go down the list of the Lions opponents.

00:20So will it be good enough against Tennessee?

00:22Yeah, sure.

00:23Will it be good enough against the Texans?

00:26They're having a hard time protecting C.J. Stroud against even marginal pass rush.

00:32That's a TBD.

00:34Against the Jags, the Colts, yeah, I think those teams you're looking at, okay, it's

00:39good enough.

00:40But the goal for the season isn't to beat the Jags and the Colts and win 10, 12 games.

00:43The goal is to win a Super Bowl.

00:45Right.

00:46So when you play the Packers, most likely when you play the Texans, when you play the

00:49Bears.

00:50The Bills.

00:51The Bills.

00:52The Niners.

00:53The Vikings again.

00:54Kansas City.

00:56Kansas City in the playoffs.

00:57Anytime you play a playoff opponent, you're going to have to have better pass rush.

01:00So yes, I do believe they have to add someone.

01:06Question is, after that game, do you believe that they have to pay the price tag for, and

01:11I'll just throw out the two names, Max Crosby or Miles Garrett, or can they go for that

01:17next level down?

01:19Some of the guys that we've been talking about, Harold Landry, you brought him up this morning.

01:21I brought up Zedaria Smith last week.

01:24TJ last Monday brought up Aziz Ojalary.

01:28Those are guys that you could go to.

01:30Hassan Radek is off the market.

01:32Fine.

01:33Redid his deal with the Jets.

01:34I don't believe he's going to be traded.

01:36So there are some guys that you could kick the tires on.

01:40Do due diligence because like I said, against Tennessee, I don't think you need that extra

01:45pass rush to win against Tennessee.

01:48But I do want the acclimation process to start sooner rather than later to give that person

01:52the best chance to get a foothold.

01:54And if they barely play against Tennessee, fine.

01:56I want them ready to go against Green Bay.

01:59Exactly.

02:00So some urgency would be nice.

02:01And I know there's going to be this, this, this temptation to, Hey, we won.

02:04We're good enough.

02:05We don't need to.

02:06They do need to do something.

02:07I, of course, I want the best player possible.

02:09I'm not afraid of giving up first round picks, plural.

02:11I want the best player possible.

02:13I don't know that they're available and I don't know that Brad's going to do it, but

02:16it's not an excuse to do nothing just because they won this week.

02:20They had 27 rushes out of their edges without a blitz.

02:24So a true soloed up one-on-one.

02:27They used everybody on the damn roster at the edge position.

02:30Three of the 27 rushes generated pressure.

02:34That's terrible.

02:35It's not, it's not the pass rush rate.

02:37That's going to win you a Superbowl, a Superbowl playoff games when it matters most.
