00:00I give him credit for getting the win.

00:02I do, and I'm super happy we got it.

00:05Don't get me wrong.

00:07But I just, if we don't do it this year without Burrow in the playoffs,

00:11without Mahomes in the playoffs, probably, without Lamar in the playoffs,

00:16Josh Allen and probably Drake May are your two best quarterbacks in the AFC.

00:22And if your defense, Sean McDermott, your defense,

00:26regardless of who's out there.

00:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:30You cannot do regardless of who's out there.

00:32You can't have it.

00:34Why?

00:34Because players matter, man.

00:39Of course they do, but he doesn't get it done every year.

00:42Every year he struggles in the playoffs.

00:44Johnny, if you're mad at McDermott and you just want to be on McDermott on a Monday,

00:48just say it.

00:50Don't try to pass off no matter who's out there.

00:54In what world could anyone agree that no matter who's out there is a reasonable standard to hold for literally any coach?

01:04Look, I get what you're saying.

01:08I get what you're saying.

01:09I do.

01:09We have enough talent on that defensive line.

01:13Are you sure?

01:14Have you seen the defensive line?

01:16Oh, come on.

01:17Like, is Greg Rousseau that ineffective?

01:20Is A.J.

01:21Epinesa that ineffective?

01:22Our corners look great.

01:24I don't know, man.

01:24They got like five sacks combined for the year.

01:27How good are they supposed to be?

01:28I understand.

01:29Guys, I understand.

01:31And we'll get, look, we're going to get Bosa back.

01:33Oliver could come back in the playoffs.

01:35We're going to get some reinforcements.

01:37And we've seen this defense make some good plays against some good quarterbacks.

01:41And you're right.

01:42It does matter who's out there.

01:43It 100% does.

01:44I was wrong in saying it doesn't matter who's out there.

01:48But with this defense, the talent that we have out there, yes, we are less talented than other rosters.

01:54Most other teams, right now, they are less talented on defense.

01:58Than a lot of teams.

01:59They've got Benford, Bishop, Hairston, Shaq Thompson has been great for them.

02:05Terrell Bernard, if he's out there.

02:07Like, you do not have a cohesive, put-together defense.

02:10Your defensive line has been Jordan Phillips.

02:14I mean, he makes a play for you.
