00:00Robert Mays was on with Jeff and Andy today.
00:03I mean, heat-seeking missiles they are,
00:05and talked about best and worst-case scenarios for Todd Munkin in year one.
00:10The best-case scenario, and I've made this comparison since he got hired,
00:14like I think if you're a Browns fan, the best way that this can work out
00:17is that this is like Bruce Arians 2.0,
00:20where you have a guy that is a longtime assistant,
00:23waited for his chance, and surprises some people
00:26in terms of how good of a head coach he ends up being in his 60s.
00:29The downside of this, and I think the worst-case scenario is,
00:32is this one of those kind of interstitial hires for a bad team
00:37where you're hiring Todd Munkin as a step to hiring your head coach
00:41that's going to be here as you really kind of pull yourself out of the muck?
00:45I don't know which one of those it is.
00:46If you told me that this was a one-year thing
00:48and they're looking for a head coach again next year,
00:50just based on the current state of the roster,
00:52the level of quarterback play they're going to get,
00:54that wouldn't surprise me at all.
00:55But I have enough respect for Todd Munkin
00:57where I absolutely can see the other path working out.
01:01So it's a little while that he's like,
01:03I have enough respect for Todd Munkin
01:05that I'm not going to completely say
01:08he's going to be one and done in Cleveland
01:09and get fired after one year.
01:11Meanwhile, laying out the entire plan for how that happens.
01:13I think if you follow the NFL enough,
01:15the plan does exist.
01:16I think that's what Robert is attaching himself to.
01:18The idea that, and this is almost
01:20the same way Shador fans have to look at Shador,
01:23you've got one year.
01:24You've got one year to show us you know what you're doing,
01:26you understand how to run a team,
01:28and we'll go from there.
01:30And yeah, you do have to have a little bit of results
01:31in the meanwhile.
01:33That's got to be part of the idea
01:35because anybody can go out there
01:36and win two games and call it a year.
01:38It's just really, really rough
01:39if we're talking about the Browns
01:42playing for a quarterback in 2027
01:44and everybody thinks they're just stink on crap.
01:47Pete Prisco saying they're the second worst team
01:49and his power rankings in the NFL
01:51to then be like,
01:53Todd only got three wins this season?
01:54What the hell, Todd?
01:55So there is one wrinkle to this,
01:57and the wrinkle would be
01:58if the accepted plan from the Haslam's
02:00all the way down
02:01is that this is in fact a year
02:03that they're just planning on sucking
02:04and there's nothing then,
02:06like Munkin almost gets a preemptive
02:07Peterlin pass from the powers that be
02:09for how this year operates
02:12and how this year goes down.
02:13If that exists,
02:15we're just not privy to it,
02:16if that exists,
02:17then yeah,
02:17you could stink up the joint
02:18and still have a job next year.
02:20I'm just going to plant my flag on this.
02:22If Todd Munkin is one and done,
02:25I don't even know,
02:26like you think of all the meltdowns
02:28that I've had on air,
02:29but here and before when I was at Knights,
02:32and it will all pale in comparison
02:34to my reaction next January.
02:37Todd Munkin could come out
02:39and he could do unspeakable things
02:42at the 50-yard line,
02:44and I'm still going to think he gets a year two
02:46because you don't hire head coaches for one year.
02:49Freddie Kitchens.
02:50Yeah, no, no, no.
02:51I need, I need...
02:53In recent memory with this ownership.
02:55I need Jimmy Haslam
02:56to show me
02:58that he has grown
02:59from the days of Freddie Kitchens,
03:01Hugh Jackson,
03:02Mike Pettin,
03:03and Rob Chudzinski.
03:05I need it
03:05because I swear
03:07on all that is holy,
03:09if we're back to
03:11a new coaching search
03:13every year,
03:14I'm going to start to say things like
03:16maybe it's time
03:17we just move the franchise again
03:18because it is just
03:21cataclysmically stupid.
03:23Two years
03:24is not long enough
03:25for any head coach,
03:26let alone
03:27a first-time head coach.
03:28One year,
03:29you basically hired the guy
03:31and it's the
03:32Max Crosby,
03:34Eric DaCosta situation.
03:36You had immediate buyer's remorse,
03:38which means you probably
03:40screwed up more
03:41than that guy did.
03:42Well, and so here's
03:42the other wrinkle on this too
03:43and this kind of works
03:44in favor of like
03:45what we're talking about
03:46with Mendoza in Las Vegas.
03:47Clint Kubiak
03:48was a very highly sought-after
03:49head coach
03:50and so you think about it
03:51like if you end up
03:52in a spot
03:52where you all of a sudden
03:53have Arch Manning
03:54because you're the number
03:55one overall pick
03:55and Arch Manning
03:56has this fantastic year,
03:58guess what?
03:58You get a bump up
03:59in people that want to come
04:00be your head coach then.
04:01Like this is part of
04:02the wrinkle of all this
04:03and then, I don't know,
04:04let's keep the train
04:05rolling down the tracks.
04:06Let's say Andrew Barry
04:07gets fired after this season.
04:08New GM in place
04:10also doesn't lead well
04:11for Todd Munkin
04:12keeping his job for...
04:13Like I just...
04:13I don't think it's
04:14an impossible scenario
04:15where he only gets
04:16the one season.
04:17Would I bet on it?
04:18No, I wouldn't bet
04:19your money on it.
04:19But is it an impossible scenario?
04:21I don't think so.
04:22So I don't think
04:23it's impossible
04:23which is why I'm getting
04:24heated about it.
04:25To me, it's like
04:25Deshaun Watson
04:26playing this year.
04:27It's like there's just
04:28enough credibility to it
04:31that when I really start
04:33to think about it,
04:34it really enrages me
04:35in a level even if
04:37the probability of it
04:38happening at this point
04:40is low.
04:40Now, if you said
04:41of all the head coaches
04:43hired this year,
04:44who's got the best chance
04:45to be one and done?
04:46Well, I gotta go
04:48to Cleveland Browns history
04:49and say it is Todd Munkin
04:50despite the fact
04:52he deserves better than that
04:53or if you're gonna grade him
04:55like you did
04:56with Kevin Stefanski
04:57and I guess it was
04:58or wasn't on wins and losses,
05:00the least you can do
05:01is take a real swing
05:03at a significant
05:04starting quarterback.
05:05I mean, I like that
05:06you got the loyalty
05:06to Munkin.
05:07I don't have that yet.
05:08Like, I'm just,
05:09I'm not there.
05:09I think it's loyalty
05:10to logic.
05:11You just don't hire
05:12head coaches to coach
05:14for one year
05:15and then go,
05:15oh, he can't do this.
05:17You don't know.
05:17Like, with Freddie Kitchens,
05:19you knew.
05:19Todd Munkin isn't out there
05:21doing what Freddie Kitchens
05:23was doing.
05:24Like, Todd Munkin
05:25is a serious coach.
05:26Todd Munkin
05:27is a respected coach.
05:29You treat him
05:29like Freddie Kitchens
05:30and like...
05:32Well, at least we know
05:32they gave him
05:32a five-year deal, right?
05:34And so...
05:34So he'll be getting paid
05:35for a long time
05:36after the fact
05:37and he'll at least
05:38sleep well with that,
05:39which I would imagine...
05:40Munkin didn't...
05:41See, Munkin had no leverage
05:42in any of this.
05:43Like, they didn't even
05:43have to do a five-year deal
05:44for him.
05:44That was almost like
05:45an in-good-faith gesture,
05:47we'll give you five years.
05:48They could have said,
05:48we'll give you two years
05:49and he still would have
05:50taken the job
05:50because he wanted
05:51to be a head coach.
05:51When we had Albert
05:52on yesterday,
05:53Albert Pereira,
05:54if you missed me,
05:54it was at five o'clock.
05:55You can use the rewind feature
05:57to listen back to that.
05:59But Albert talked about
06:00the 2026 positioning
06:02from the quarterback perspective
06:03with the Cleveland Browns.
06:05I don't know if there was
06:05a ton of sense
06:06in cutting Deshaun Watson.
06:08We might as well
06:08see what the guy's got.
06:09I don't know if there's
06:10some great hope
06:11that Shador is going to be
06:12the future of the franchise.
06:14And I actually would agree
06:15with the idea of, like,
06:16punting if you don't think
06:17that the guy
06:19that's going to be there
06:19for you is a franchise guy
06:21and not forcing him.
06:22Like, I think the worst
06:23thing you can do
06:24is force a first-round pick
06:25on a quarterback
06:26or force something
06:27and quarterback
06:28that really is going to
06:30not help you in the long term
06:32and maybe keep you
06:33off the market
06:33and looking for one
06:35in the short term.
06:36And it just feels to me
06:37like all of these teams
06:38are sort of keeping
06:39their powder dry
06:40for next year.
06:41So I think it's really interesting
06:42if you put that
06:44and then juxtapose it
06:46to what Albert said
06:47about Malik Willis
06:48signing in Miami
06:48where he was basically like,
06:50well, you have to sell
06:51to the locker room
06:52that you're at least trying.
06:53And it's like,
06:55okay, these things,
06:56I mean, you can look
06:57at the Tua situation
06:58and the Deshaun situation
06:59and they are in lockstep
07:01with each other
07:02about dead cap.
07:04And I just,
07:05I kind of look at it
07:06and go, well,
07:06if you're going to punt
07:07on 2026,
07:08you could at least
07:09absolve the Browns fans
07:11of their biggest quagmire,
07:13which is,
07:14am I going to have to
07:15watch Deshaun play again?
07:16Well, yeah.
07:17And so that,
07:17that kind of brings
07:18that poison pill
07:18that we've talked about
07:19for last year
07:20entering this season
07:21or really entering
07:22last season,
07:23it kind of brings it
07:24into play.
07:24The Malik question,
07:25I just find fascinating.
07:27And I thought the answer
07:29then from Albert
07:29was just as interesting
07:30and not one I expected.
07:32I mean, when you,
07:33when we asked the question,
07:35hey, so why are they
07:36signing Malik Willis?
07:37Why are they signing
07:37this quarterback
07:38that they think
07:38could be good
07:39to that type of contract
07:40if you're basically
07:41jettisoning everybody off?
07:42And the answer is,
07:43well, you have to
07:43at least give an attempt
07:44to the players
07:45in the locker room
07:45that you're trying,
07:46that you want to win.
07:48You have to give
07:48that frontal face gesture
07:50that you're trying.
07:52Like, do you really have to?
07:53Like, I, I, I just,
07:54I don't know
07:55that that's true.
07:56And I look at some
07:57of the other teams
07:57you mentioned,
07:58like is signing
07:58Geno Smith for the Jets?
07:59Is that,
08:00or is Garrett Wilson
08:02looking at that
08:02and saying,
08:03well, boy,
08:03they're, they're really
08:04giving it my all
08:04for 2026.
08:05No, he's like,
08:06all right,
08:06we don't have a plan
08:07for this year.
08:08I think Garrett,
08:09well, players tend
08:10to talk themselves
08:11into things.
08:12I think we've learned
08:13that with like,
08:14when Joe would come
08:15out every year
08:15and he's like,
08:16I think RG3
08:17is really going
08:17to have a chance.
08:18I don't think Joe
08:19was ever lying.
08:20I think Joe Thomas
08:21and I think the locker room
08:22believed in that plan
08:23because they didn't
08:24really have a choice.
08:25Like, are they just
08:25a bunch of coach,
08:26coach Riz's out there?
08:27Is that the idea?
08:28And coach Riz
08:29is just eternally optimistic.
08:30I think the culture
08:31of football,
08:32the culture of locker rooms
08:34is that there is a lot
08:36of just kind of
08:36manufactured belief
08:37because, well,
08:39you're going to have
08:39to play one way or another.
08:40Because then it's really
08:41easy to sell them
08:42in, like, in general.
08:43If that's true
08:44and I tend to believe
08:45you're right on that,
08:46then you didn't have
08:47to try that hard
08:47with Malik Willis.
08:48You didn't because, like,
08:49the Cardinals aren't
08:50trying that hard
08:50with Jacoby Brissett
08:51being thrown out there.
08:52Like, the teams
08:53we're talking about
08:53the Browns competing
08:54with for that number
08:56one pick and that
08:57basically the worst
08:57record in the NFL,
08:59they're not trying
09:00that hard at all.
09:00Well, I think what's
09:01interesting about this
09:02is with Miami,
09:03they're not making
09:04any other move
09:05other than whatever
09:06they're going to do
09:06in the draft
09:07to try and compete
09:08this year.
09:10So, the Malik Willis
09:11thing is just a
09:11complete non-sequitur
09:13to the rest of their
09:13plan, which I feel
09:15is the inverse
09:16of what the Browns
09:17are doing.
09:17Like, when you go out
09:19there and you spend
09:20a lot of guaranteed
09:21money, not that I
09:22really care about
09:22guaranteed money,
09:23but when you spend
09:24a lot of guaranteed
09:24money on veteran
09:25offensive linemen
09:26and high-ticket guys,
09:28you're saying you have
09:29an intention of being
09:30a certain amount
09:31of good this year.
09:32Well, older guys,
09:32too, at that.
09:33Like, it'd be different
09:34if there was a bunch
09:34of 23-year-olds
09:35and they're like,
09:36all right, this is
09:36for two years
09:37down the line.
09:37That's our gift
09:38for our quarterback
09:38later.
09:39Got some old,
09:40old offensive linemen.
09:41Keeping the defense
09:42together and replacing
09:44Quincy Williams with
09:45Devin Bush instead
09:45of just saying,
09:46we'll let the young
09:47guys play and we'll
09:47see if we can find
09:48our linebackers over
09:49the next two seasons.
09:50Like, honestly,
09:52restructuring Denzel
09:53instead of trading
09:54Denzel.
09:55Not trading Miles
09:55a year ago.
09:56I'm not trying to
09:57relitigate any of that,
09:58but all of the Browns
10:00moves have signaled
10:02we're going to try
10:03and do something
10:04this year except
10:05quarterback.
10:06And that's what
10:07I think is really
10:08interesting.
10:09Like, I've made the
10:10case you owe it
10:11to the players.
10:12Why?
10:13Because you've got
10:14a bunch of veterans
10:15on this team.
10:16You have a veteran
10:17offensive line now.
10:18You've got a
10:19predominantly and
10:20ready-to-go defense,
10:21but a veteran defense
10:23that's ready to go.
10:24Like, even
10:26offensively.
10:26Like, people are
10:27panicking about the
10:28offense isn't any
10:28better.
10:29Guys, because they're
10:30going to add a wide
10:31receiver or two
10:32in the draft,
10:34and once you see
10:35the completed
10:35product, you're
10:36going to look and
10:36go, oh man, it
10:37really is just
10:38quarterback that
10:39stinks, or might
10:40stink.
10:41I think that's
10:42what's crazy, is
10:43that the Dolphins
10:44are like the only...
10:44I hope we do get
10:45there, by the way.
10:45I don't know that we
10:46will, but I hope we
10:47get there.
10:47The only way we're
10:48going to appease the
10:49locker room, the
10:50Dolphins are saying,
10:51is Malik Willis and
10:52nothing else.
10:52And the Browns are
10:53saying, we're going to
10:53do everything to
10:54appease the locker
10:55room, but not a
10:56quarterback.
10:56Okay, but is that
10:57Miami looking at what
10:57happened with the
10:58Browns last year and
10:59some other teams
10:59where once the
11:00quarterback situation
11:01was what it was, and
11:03you just didn't get
11:04any production out of
11:04it, you couldn't
11:05evaluate anybody.
11:06And so, is that what
11:07the Dolphins are
11:07thinking?
11:08If Malik Willis, he
11:09might not be in the
11:10greatest situation, but
11:11at least we can
11:11evaluate the pieces
11:12around Malik Willis
11:13if the quarterback's
11:14at least functional?
11:16I don't know anyone's
11:17looking at the
11:18Browns as a model.
11:19No, the Browns
11:20are the ones that
11:21screwed up.
11:21Even like a warning
11:22sign.
11:23The Browns are the
11:23ones that screwed up.
11:24We're looking at
11:25what they did and
11:26say, wait a second,
11:27last year they
11:27couldn't get anything
11:29Do we really know
11:30what Judkins is as a
11:31player?
11:31I have no idea at
11:32this point.
11:33I'd like to believe
11:33he's a good running
11:34back.
11:34I truthfully have no
11:35idea because of what
11:36that offensive line
11:37was.
11:37I lean towards he's a
11:38good player.
11:39I know the stats
11:40ended up, the deep
11:42analytic stats ended
11:44up looking what they
11:45looked like.
11:45He still had a couple
11:46of really good games
11:47in there.
11:47But it was incredibly
11:48hard.
11:48Do I know what Isaiah
11:49Bond is with certainty
11:50as a wide receiver?
11:51I have no idea.
11:51I have no idea of
11:52what any, I don't even
11:53know with certainty that
11:54Jerry Judy was as bad
11:55as he was last year.
11:56Like there's a lot of
11:57that offense that when
11:58you had a revolving
11:59door of quarterbacks
12:00and inconsistent play
12:01at quarterback, made
12:02it really hard to
12:03evaluate what that
12:03team is elsewhere
12:04outside of the
12:05quarterback spot.
12:06And so maybe that's
12:07what Miami's thinking
12:07in this spot.
12:08I really don't know.
12:09So what I will say
12:10about this idea and
12:11impeachment of the
12:12locker room is I do
12:14think the Browns
12:16biggest mistake last
12:17year is they were bad
12:19at every facet of
12:20offense.
12:21They couldn't block
12:22for most of the
12:23season.
12:24It was run blocking
12:25and pass blocking.
12:26They couldn't catch
12:27the damn ball.
12:28They couldn't get
12:29open.
12:29Some of that I do
12:30think was schematics
12:31and what an absolute
12:33joke of an offense
12:33they tried to put
12:34together last year.
12:36Some of it was the
12:37talent.
12:38I do think it's fair
12:39to question Judkins
12:40and Dylan Sampson,
12:41even though I'm
12:41actually excited to
12:42see what they can do
12:43in a real offensive
12:44line.
12:45And then you
12:45couldn't really
12:46evaluate the
12:46quarterbacks based
12:47off what was
12:47around them.
12:48So it became the
12:48ultimate catch 22
12:49of we're trying to
12:50build an offense.
12:51You need to, this
12:52is the thing that we
12:53do.
12:53This is what we do
12:54well.
12:55We either block
12:56well or we have
12:57incendiary playmakers
12:58that score a bunch
12:59of points for us.
13:00Whatever you, we run
13:01the ball incredibly
13:01well.
13:02The Browns had
13:03nothing offensively
13:05to build on.
13:06And I think that like
13:07it's weird to me that
13:09you're like, we're
13:10going, we're going
13:11all in on that
13:12offensive line to
13:13raise the floor.
13:13We're going, we're
13:14going to really chase
13:15some wide receivers
13:16here.
13:16And the quarterback
13:17spot, it's like,
13:18listen, I think we
13:19just got to ride it
13:20out with these
13:20quarterbacks.
13:21That's just, it's,
13:22it's maddening,
13:24maddeningly inconsistent
13:25with what you're doing
13:26across the board for
13:27the rest of it, which
13:28is also probably going
13:29to harm your chances
13:30of getting the
13:31quarterback in 2027.
13:32There's a weird catch
13:3322 thing going on
13:34here.
13:34And it's the opposite
13:35of what's going on in
13:36Miami.
13:37And it's like, I
13:38think if you want to
13:38get to the number one
13:39pick, I think Miami's
13:40doing the thing the
13:41right way.
13:41You're almost like
13:42juggling a lot of
13:42plates and it just, it
13:44makes it hard because
13:45then it's not,
13:46it's telling them to
13:47pick a lane is what
13:48we're trying to get
13:48them to do here.
13:49I don't think they've
13:49gone crazy far in
13:51investing in the
13:51offensive line, but
13:52like even within all
13:54that, you could, you
13:55could have made this
13:55look a lot worse if
13:56you wanted to, you
13:57could have got five
13:58guys just off the
13:59street.
13:59You could have made
13:59it look a lot worse.
14:00They definitely could
14:01have.
14:02And so I don't know.
14:03I did.
14:03It's so odd to me
14:04like they're leaving
14:04a, they're leaving
14:05like the chance open
14:06that Chador is just
14:07awesome at this and in
14:09four games shows him
14:10that, and then they
14:11can go ahead and
14:11actually do something
14:12this season.
14:13It's a very small
14:14crack that they're
14:15leaving open, but I
14:16feel like they're
14:16leaving it open for
14:17that slight possibility.
14:19And then if it isn't
14:20and they don't take
14:21off, then they can
14:21immediately close that
14:22door and just move on
14:23to 2027 and go from
14:25there.
14:25I think the, the
14:26interesting thing about
14:27Chador is I think on
14:28one hand, provided he
14:31does everything he
14:31should, and I don't
14:32have any reason to
14:33believe he won't.
14:34I think he's going to
14:35be naturally better
14:36after a full off season,
14:37even in a new offense.
14:38I think that's going to
14:39be really good for him.
14:40Yeah.
14:40It happens with a lot
14:41of quarterbacks.
14:42You get more
14:42comfortable than the
14:43more you are in the
14:44NFL.
14:45Two, I think if
14:47Chador is the
14:47quarterback, well, you
14:48gave him, I think as
14:50long as they're healthy,
14:53biggest modifier ever,
14:54as long as they're
14:55healthy, I think it
14:55gave him at least a
14:56passable offensive line
14:57and I expect at least
14:59one more weapon here.
15:00So, okay.
15:02But also you're still
15:03going to be looking at
15:03this and going, all
15:05right, but how good
15:05can he be?
15:06Like the, the whole
15:07knock on why he was a
15:09second rounder was we
15:10think he can be
15:11eventually the 16th
15:12best quarterback in
15:13the NFL.
15:14I don't know.
15:15That's like, he can
15:15take a step forward
15:16this year and you
15:17still stall just like
15:19you have just enough
15:20success and he stalls
15:21just enough that he's
15:23still a significant
15:23question mark after this
15:25year.
15:26And also you're looking
15:27at the quarterback
15:28market saying, oh,
15:29there's not a veteran
15:29out here.
15:30We love, oh, and
15:31we're the 15th pick
15:32in the damn draft.
15:33It's definitely on the
15:33table.
15:34Yeah.
15:34And it's the, it's
15:35the part of this game.
15:36And I know Andrew
15:36Barry loves his games.
15:37He always talks about
15:38all the board games
15:38he loves playing, but
15:39it's a part of this
15:40game that I feel
15:41like they're hurling
15:41towards.
15:42And I don't know
15:42that they've
15:43necessarily accounted
15:44for it in a great
15:45detail and way.
15:45I think they have, but
15:47I just think it's just
15:49weird.
15:49What's their answer?
15:49They're just in a weird
15:49spot.
15:50What's their answer?
15:50They get to 15th
15:51overall as their draft
15:52selection and they
15:53don't do the job of
15:53getting to a spot
15:55that's good enough for
15:55quarterbacks.
15:56Now, are they just
15:56going to take whatever
15:57quarterbacks there at
15:5715?
15:58Is that the idea?
15:58I think their answer
15:59is we're smarter than
16:00you.
16:00Do you get the fifth
16:01best quarterback off the
16:02board?
16:02I think our answer is,
16:03well, we tried.
16:04That seems to be like,
16:06hey, we have great
16:06verticals.
16:07We have great this.
16:08We have great that.
16:09There doesn't really
16:10seem to be any
16:11accountability or
16:12interchange when they
16:13fail massively.
16:14So I think they're just
16:15comfortable with, hey,
16:16we're going to do this
16:17our way and we think
16:18this is going to work
16:19out.
16:20And the frustrating
16:21thing for me is every
16:22time it looks like they
16:23have an intention, they
16:25miss it by that much.
16:27Right?
16:27Like it was apparent last
16:28year was a year to stink.
16:31And you end up getting
16:32the fifth pick and not
16:33the first pick in a one
16:33quarterback draft, right?
16:35Oh, hey, we're going to
16:35wait for 2026 to get our
16:37quarterback.
16:37And now they're selling
16:38the same thing.
16:40But I think by the end
16:41of the offseason, where
16:42you look at this roster
16:42and go, the roster is
16:44actually better.
16:46So what your hope is
16:47there's seven draftable
16:48quarterbacks next year?
16:49Well, that's also
16:50pleasing the idea that I
16:51think people think that
16:51they're just like these
16:52draft wonderkins now
16:53because of last year.
16:54And I don't know that
16:55that's true either.
16:56Like, so we'll see.
16:56We'll see what they do
16:57in the draft.
16:58We'll see how much
16:58better they're able to
16:59get.
16:59And we'll see what
17:00type of additions they
17:00make.
17:01You can always find ways
17:03to make your team suck
17:05during the season.
17:06We saw them do that
17:07last year.
17:08Yeah.
17:09I just want to find out
17:10if they're giving it a
17:10real chance for like
17:11four or five weeks.
17:12And then if it doesn't
17:13look good, that's when
17:14they all of a sudden
17:15start pulling some of
17:16the shenanigans they
17:17did last season.
17:17I think they're giving
17:19the season a chance.
17:21I think they're giving
17:21the roster a chance.
17:23Because I don't think
17:23the roster outside of
17:25quarterback is that bad.
17:26And I think that's
17:27what it's.
17:28I'm just puzzled by
17:29it.
17:29And I can't tell you,
17:30I can't point to one
17:31thing and say, oh, you
17:32should do this because
17:33this would make you
17:33demonstrably better, right?
17:35At quarterback specifically.
17:37But doing nothing feels
17:39like a punt when you're not
17:41punting everywhere else.
17:43And so I would just love to
17:45hear the internal pitch
17:46meetings to each other and
17:47to Jimmy Haslam of how
17:49you're going to grease this
17:50wheel when you do go 7-10 or
17:538-9 next year.
17:55And you kind of look at
17:56Shador and go, well, he
17:59played.
18:00You know, like you don't
18:01have something definitive
18:02step forward with Shador.
18:03I just wonder if they look
18:04at 7-10 or let's say
18:05whatever, 8-9.
18:07I wonder if they almost
18:07look at that as if it's
18:09some awesome accomplishment.
18:10Because if they're
18:11barreling towards that, I
18:12almost get the impression
18:13that they feel like that's
18:14a good year.
18:15That's a good step forward
18:16in success.
18:17Let's keep what we're
18:18doing and let's keep
18:18going down that road.
