00:00You think about the offensive line as constructed right now,
00:02Mylotta, Dickerson, Juergens, Johnson.
00:08Are these guys going to be unhappy right now because of this?
00:13So the first thing that comes to my mind is, is Johnson going to be here?
00:18That's something that still needs to get sorted out.
00:21We know that he didn't play through the bad part of the season
00:24because of a Lisfranc injury.
00:26He's got deep ties to Stoutland,
00:28and he hasn't signaled one way or another yet whether he is returning.
00:32So maybe he does, and that would be obviously great for the offensive front,
00:36but I don't know that we know that for a certainty.
00:38That's the first thing that they have to work through.
00:40Is there a domino effect that comes with the exit of Stoutland
00:44that also leads to possibly the exit of a right tackle
00:49who's one of the best to have ever done at Hall of Fame caliber?
00:52Obviously it would set you back in a big way from there.
00:54As far as how the other guys respond,
00:56the way that the offensive line, Ricky, talks about Stoutland
01:01is in a very unique way as players talk about their coaches.
01:06There is a deep respect and reverence to the point where the guys get emotional
01:13when that subject gets brought up about him.
01:16So there's obviously really deep ties there.
01:19They're professionals, so whoever comes in,
01:23I'm sure it will be a good offensive line coach
01:25and knowing the way that those guys are built,
01:28they'll respond and they'll play and they'll do their jobs.
01:34But will the connection ever be like it was with Stout?
01:36I mean, that's a different question.
01:38So there's a lot of other people who want to hear,
