00:00It just was not copacetic.
00:02Like, they were not talking the same language.
00:04And it almost felt like Dex did not want anything to do with the New York Giants.
00:09At which point, I don't know if I said this on air or if I said it in one of
00:13the chats.
00:14Good riddance.
00:16Send them out of here.
00:17Can't get them out of here quick enough.
00:19Anytime a new coach takes over a team, I saw this only once in my professional career when Tom Coffin
00:25came and took over for Jim Fossil.
00:29That coach needs to get his type of player into the clubhouse.
00:33And I think sometimes when you don't do that immediately or at least within the first year or so, you
00:39end up having all of these weird connections and voices and direction.
00:44And you can't control it.
00:46Things start to go off.
00:47I think, honestly, that's what happened with Dave in his first couple of years.
00:51He needed to turn over the roster and he didn't.
00:53We can win with what we have because, look, we got to the postseason.
00:56And ultimately, his type of guy never got into the building.
01:00Right.
01:01I think John Harbaugh making a very quick determination.
01:04This is with Joe Shane and Donald Ponte, obviously, that Dexter Lawrence did not want to be the Giants.
01:09They kicked them out of the door as quickly as possible.
01:11And it's the best thing that they could have done.
01:13And I said this two weeks ago.
01:16Dex, by the way he played, having nothing else, no other input, by the way he played, started to make
01:23himself a villain last football season.
01:25He was just dogging it.
01:27You could just see it.
01:28Carl Banks called him out.
01:29We played that audio a couple of weeks ago as well.
01:32When it got to the offseason and now he's holding out, he's demanding a trade, he's just being malcontent with
01:40this team that has paid him, helped him become a star in this league.
01:44Giant fans fully turned him into a villain.
01:46And so, trust me, no Giant fan is going to miss him.
01:52Now, are they going to miss him on the field?
01:54Well, that's different.
01:55100%.
01:55He's not replaceable.
01:57It's not like you're going to go find a 320-pound elite all-pro who gets an 8-9 sacks
02:05a season type of detail.
02:07You're not replacing him.
02:09But I think him not being here is probably the best thing that John Harbaugh could have done.
