Drake and Josh escalating new expectations? #NFL HoF Ty Law  joins!

Transcript

00:00So, Ty, I mean, this team has surpassed, I think, most expectations so far.

00:07If we were going to be nitpicky, and since you played on that side of the football,

00:12the defense gets off to slow starts in these games.

00:16Yes, very slow.

00:18And I think because of the greatness of Josh McDaniel

00:23and who we have as our quarterback right now is covering up a lot of things

00:27that they're going to have to get better in, especially when it comes late November, December,

00:31when you're trying to make that playoff run in for positioning.

00:35So, you can't start off slow because other teams are going to get better too.

00:38But, again, the offense is so good right now.

00:42It covers it up.

00:43It covers it up, but you can't start like that.

00:46You know how it is when you get later in the season, Wiggy, then you get, you know, injuries.

00:49You're hurting a little bit more.

00:51So, you got to start off strong and fast.

00:52And I think I know that Mike Vrabel is probably pounding that into their heads, you know,

00:57hey, we can't start off like this defense.

00:59You know what I mean?

01:00We got certain players out there.

01:01You're making a lot of damn money.

01:03I ain't trying to call nobody out because, man, we all get beat.

01:05Well, what about Carlton Davis?

01:07Okay, making a lot of money.

01:09You got to play.

01:10You know what I mean?

01:10Not living up to it in your mind.

01:12I mean, not to the contract or as far as, like, you know,

01:15not saying that he's not a great player.

01:17I mean, he earned his contract elsewhere.

01:19Don't be afraid.

01:20No, I ain't afraid he ain't whooping my ass.

01:23You know, I ain't never scared, Wickey.

01:25You know that.

01:26But, again, I think he has to play better because there is a standard,

01:31especially when it comes to it.

01:32And it's pressure.

01:33It comes along with it when you're the big time and the big name cornerback.

01:37You know what I mean?

01:37Because right now, you're getting paid more than the actual number one,

01:41you know, which is Gonzalez, Gonzo.

01:43You know what I mean?

01:43So, you're getting paid that type of money.

01:45You got to go out there and perform.

01:47And right now, he's just not playing up to the standards of the contract

01:51or who he was coming in as a free agent.

01:53Yeah, you can't be making $20 million a year and getting cooked out there.

01:57Looking back at free agents, like, I feel like they did a pretty good job.

02:00Like, Milton Williams, to me, is fantastic and has been fantastic.

02:04Milton has done a good job.

02:05I think Harold Landry is seeing a lot of double teams.

02:08I'm seeing him get chipped and stuff like that.

02:09That's why I'm so big on hopefully they add another pass rusher,

02:13take some of the pressure off of Landry because he started off good.

02:16But now it's like, all right, we now need to know where this number –

02:19I think he's wearing number two or something like that.

02:20People figured it out.

02:21Yeah, we need to find out where he is.

02:22And now if you don't have somebody on the other side who can get after it as well,

02:27now they can just focus on you.

02:30And unless you're Miles Garrett, double teams are going to take most guys

02:33out of the pitcher.

02:35So, that's why I'm hoping that they add another edge guy

02:38that will take the pressure off of Landry.

02:40Who's available?

02:41Well, Trey Hendrickson is available.

02:44Well, I don't know if he's available, but there were trade talks.

02:47And Kayvon Thibodeau, one of the Giants defensive linemen.

02:50Yeah, because Brian Burns, they're paying him a ton of money.

02:53They drafted Abdul Kata, what, number three?

02:56So, two.

02:58Number two.

02:59So, that means – and they drafted Thibodeau number five.

03:01Number three, you were right the first time.

03:02Travis Hunter went two.

03:03And they drafted Thibodeau, I think, maybe number five a few years ago.

03:07So, one of those guys is going to be the odd man out.

03:10So, it's ultimately –

03:10So, if they drafted him five a few years ago,

03:13was he's not living up to expectations?

03:15Not as what they want him to be living up to.

03:18And then you pay Burns a ton of money.

03:20So, you're not going to move on from him.

03:23And you know how it is.

03:24You can't have three pass rushes because only two can be on the field.

03:27Right.

03:28So, I think ultimately that's why you hear his name being thrown around.

03:31So, trade deadline Tuesday.

03:33Yeah.

03:34I know that's the number one need for you.

03:36Is that your number one need?

03:38Or do you want a running back?

03:40No.

03:40Hell, no.

03:41I think we got, you know, the running back by committee.

03:43That's how we had success before.

03:44Even when you talk about Drake May, his stats,

03:47how many times with all the great performance that he put up

03:51that you have a number one receiver.

03:53Usually, you have somebody's getting 100 yards.

03:56He's doing all this where he's spreading the ball out

03:59and no one's getting 100 yards.

04:00But yet, his stats and his QBR is amazing.

04:05So, I would agree with Wiggy saying a pass rusher

04:08because defensively, they playing too much damn zone.

04:12Right.

04:12And if you're going to play that much damn zone,

04:14you need a pass rusher.

04:15So, I agree with you, Wiggy, on that.

04:17Or get up in the face and help your guys out

04:19because the Patriots right now,

04:21they're not getting to the quarterback with four.

04:23You have to get creative.

04:24You have to blitz to actually get pressure.

04:26So, if you bring somebody in, like you said, an edge rusher,

04:30it's going to help those guys out in the secondary.

04:32No concern, though, when the weather gets bad,

04:34when it comes to these guys holding out of the football.

04:36Like, that doesn't concern you at all?

04:39Well, I mean, Travion Henderson had a fumble last week,

04:42and he's been pretty solid.

04:43So, I'm not going to, like, jump the gun on him.

04:46We all know what Ramondre and Stevenson has done in the past

04:49and had some issues.

04:50Because there's always a little concern with him.

04:53Right.

04:54But I think when you start to look at the running back position,

04:57it's where is the best value and who is that guy?

05:01Like, so, who would be somebody you could trade for

05:04at the running back position versus somebody you could trade for

05:06at the edge position?

05:08And where are we going to get more value?

05:10And I think you're just going to get more value

05:11with the guys that are available at the edge.

05:13We've been talking a lot about receivers

05:15and how going into the season we were worried

05:17about the receiver position.

05:18And Wiggy's been kind of on this from jump.

05:20Because now it seems like there's no issue there.

05:22Like, our receiver core is great.

05:24What is the change there in your mind?

05:26I think Drake May, you know, similar to Tom Brady,

05:31he makes good players seem great

05:35because he makes the right decisions.

05:37So, you know, you think about Tom Brady's career

05:40when he finally got a Randy Moss.

05:42And no disrespect to the guys that we played

05:44would have won championships would.

05:46But no one looked at them as,

05:48oh, I got to worry about them.

05:49No, you had to more so worry about,

05:51you know, Tom and the decisions he made.

05:53They're all good players.

05:55But when you play with a guy like Drake May,

05:57guess what?

05:57Some of you are going to seem great.

05:59But if you put him on any other team,

06:00like Booyah, I'd like to say,

06:01he's having a phenomenal season right now.

06:03But does anybody come into the game?

06:06I don't know.

06:07And say, hey, I'm worried about him.

06:09But now you have to because of Drake.

06:11No, I'm saying that, I mean,

06:12you have to worry about the overall team

06:14and the scheme.

06:15And hats off to, you know,

06:16kudos to Josh McDaniel again,

06:18because he's still...

06:18Oh, who?

06:19Yeah.

06:20Josh McDaniel?

06:21Hey, Josh McDaniel.

06:22Because I'm telling you,

06:23if you look at his play calling...

06:25It's absolutely nothing to do with it.

06:26Yeah, you look at his play calling,

06:28you know, the misdirection

06:31and the trickery every now and again.

06:34I mean, he is calling masterful games

06:36and Drake May is playing it to a tee.

06:38So you don't need a number one.

06:40You don't need a Micah Irving.

06:42You don't need a Megatron

06:44when you're playing like that.

06:45Hold that thought.

06:47I got to take a quick break.
