00:00Uh, let me give you this quick. Cause look, I like Malik neighbors. I think he's a very

00:07talented player. Um, but to be fair, he's, he's played like 10 games in the league.

00:14I would expect maybe something like this out of more of a Jamar Chase or Jamar Chase has

00:19had some press conferences like this. So Justin Jefferson is somebody who's really established

00:24themselves as one of the top five receivers in the league. I like Malik, but maybe a little

00:29bit too much here. Right there. First, second quarter. Don't get the ball. Start getting

00:34targets at the end. I mean, can't do nothing. Start getting the ball when it's 30 to zero.

00:40That's what I'm going to do. Why in the first half are they not looking at you? I don't

00:44know. Talk to Dave's about that. Talk to Dave's. I mean, they know. They come up to me asking

00:56me what phase I want. Yep. No, it's not. I don't know. Chewing that gum pretty good

01:05too, Joe. You like him chewing that gum in that spot. Um, now, you know, I wish he got

01:12the ball yesterday too. Believe me, I was dying for him to get the ball, preferably

01:16in the end zone and it didn't happen. I get he's not wrong, Joe, but there's the whole,

01:22this guy's a rookie. What are we doing here? It kind of goes to what you were saying. Lots

01:27of problems in the locker room along with on the field. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and again, it's,

01:33you would like to see it from somebody maybe in the league, uh, more of a leader, but at

01:38the same time, you can't keep telling us everything is fine and dandy. At least he's got the fire

01:44in there and say, listen, we're soft. I don't know why I'm not getting the ball. I mean,

01:49I can't be getting the ball looking when we're down 30 to nothing. So losing does that

01:54a lot in locker rooms this time of year, doesn't it? Brian Burns said the same thing. Uh, another

02:01guy who's the first year on the team. So Burns and neighbors who haven't been on the team

02:04before this year, both said it was soft yesterday. And that's very telling for guys who haven't

02:10been around for a long time, uh, with this group. Uh, so that's even another thing that

02:15just another notch, uh, on things not going well for Brian day. Well, by the way, Daniel

02:19Jones did clear waivers just about 20 minutes ago, Joe, although, uh, all the insiders like

02:25Ian Rappaport, et cetera, say that he's going to take his time deciding. He's got a lot

02:29of offers. Apparently he's going to take his time on deciding where he'd like to go next.

02:34Uh, I thought you had, uh, some good ideas. I don't think you should just jump to the

02:39next place where he can start on, you know, Sunday. I think that there's some coaches

02:43that he should get underneath, you know, and maybe try to learn from some of them,

02:49the rebuild. Uh, he's got to rebuild not only his game, but his image and perception in

02:55the league. So you can only do that under a handful of coaches who also happen to need

03:00quarterbacks right about this time of year.
