00:00:00,000 -->
00:00:04,920
Hello sports fans welcome on in this is down and dirty and we are down and dirty today
2
00:00:04,920 -->
00:00:12,560
I'm in I'm in Park City, Utah on my way to Detroit, Michigan. I'm moving to Michigan. Of course Herman. He's already there
3
00:00:13,000 -->
00:00:15,120
We're gonna hang out together for a while here
4
00:00:15,120 -->
00:00:19,160
In fact, if we pan back behind me, you can see I'm towing a U-Haul
5
00:00:19,280 -->
00:00:25,920
I've got all the most important things in my my vehicle Herman. I've got my fishing poles. I got my
6
00:00:26,440 -->
00:00:30,879
Guns I got my memorabilia. I got all the stuff that's important
7
00:00:32,279 -->
00:00:35,820
Did you bring the inflatable pool? Oh, of course. Well
8
00:00:39,400 -->
00:00:45,840
It's it's a vinyl cover or just a liner that I have in the back of the pickup truck like any good redneck
9
00:00:45,840 -->
00:00:51,520
I know how to make a portable swimming pool. In fact, it's warm enough that it's actually a hot tub right now
10
00:00:51,720 -->
00:00:54,840
Yeah, well, I'm laughing cuz I'm looking at you man look like you're on the run
11
00:00:54,959 -->
00:00:56,959
so
12
00:00:58,119 -->
00:01:02,000
I feel like I'm on the run. Look we got too many important things to talk about
13
00:01:02,000 -->
00:01:06,919
I don't really have the ability. I don't know. I think I like my hair. I think it's okay
14
00:01:08,040 -->
00:01:14,720
Man, you listen. Listen, you're coming. You come to Michigan man. You're gonna be just fine. I'll fit right in with the way I look
15
00:01:16,239 -->
00:01:21,559
Saying that I'm just coming back to the place where you already know. I know I'm really excited
16
00:01:21,559 -->
00:01:25,360
I really am. I'm very excited to come back there. We're gonna have a lot of fun
17
00:01:26,120 -->
00:01:32,199
More I mean, we're having fun now, but man, it's gonna get it's gonna get down and dirtier here in just a little while
18
00:01:32,199 -->
00:01:40,239
Okay, a lot of great stuff going on in the sports world and nothing bigger than Myles Garrett gets traded to the Los Angeles
19
00:01:40,760 -->
00:01:46,400
Rams and and they give up a first this year a second next year and a third the year after that
20
00:01:46,839 -->
00:01:51,959
So it's it's it's some draft capital, but it's not not the end of the world but a huge trade
21
00:01:52,559 -->
00:01:58,680
It's I kind of scratched my head. Maybe the maybe the Browns just say hey, we're in total rebuild
22
00:01:58,800 -->
00:02:03,720
We don't really have a quarterback. Well, you we don't want to waste Myles Garrett. So let's get rid of him
23
00:02:03,720 -->
00:02:07,839
I don't know. Just what are your thoughts on Myles Garrett going to the Rams? Well one I think that
24
00:02:09,440 -->
00:02:14,600
Cleveland's not gonna all of a sudden get better overnight because of this and they're not gonna get better because they got these draft picks
25
00:02:14,759 -->
00:02:16,759
And I think that
26
00:02:16,919 -->
00:02:21,440
Whoever the younger talented players are that they they think that are on their roster right now
27
00:02:21,600 -->
00:02:24,399
they're gonna have to give up some years of productivity and
28
00:02:24,679 -->
00:02:25,759
and being
29
00:02:25,759 -->
00:02:32,320
potentially moving into their prime or development years where they really explode and it's gonna have to be held to you know to decide for
30
00:02:32,320 -->
00:02:37,440
Now because Myles is going somewhere where they're ready to win right now. And at first, you know, I'm thinking, you know
31
00:02:37,440 -->
00:02:42,320
Did they give up too much with this this pick because any we always know players can get injured
32
00:02:42,440 -->
00:02:47,520
But you know if you're ready to win now and you already have a roster that doesn't have a lot of holes in it and
33
00:02:47,919 -->
00:02:54,199
You're coming fresh off of you know, another great year. So why not right? Why not go ahead and
34
00:02:55,759 -->
00:02:59,759
Go ahead and increase your roster stock right there and you've bringing a guy like Myles
35
00:02:59,759 -->
00:03:05,679
I think that puts them back in contention immediately for a chance to have you know, maybe get back to the Super Bowl this year
36
00:03:06,199 -->
00:03:08,240
See I here's what I think
37
00:03:08,240 -->
00:03:14,240
I think if there's a position player that can have a huge impact. It's a defensive lineman
38
00:03:14,240 -->
00:03:20,360
It's it's a game-changing defensive lineman. I think outside of a really good quarterback. That's the position
39
00:03:20,360 -->
00:03:25,520
I think that can have the biggest impact on a team if you have the ability to rush the quarterback and
40
00:03:25,839 -->
00:03:31,080
And play coverage behind it and you're so far ahead of the game where you don't have to blitz
41
00:03:31,080 -->
00:03:35,860
You don't have to bring extra defenders to get that pressure and it's huge and that's one side
42
00:03:35,860 -->
00:03:37,820
So if you're gonna get a plate Myles Garrett, man
43
00:03:37,820 -->
00:03:39,820
he's like at the top of the food chain of
44
00:03:39,899 -->
00:03:43,860
players that you want to get the other thing that I really like about this is
45
00:03:44,259 -->
00:03:48,380
It's it's what the what the organization is saying to all the players
46
00:03:48,860 -->
00:03:53,740
We're in this to win right now. Like we got a quarterback. It was the MVP a year ago
47
00:03:53,740 -->
00:03:59,339
We've got a lot of talent where we were very close. We were right there and we're not sitting on our laurels
48
00:03:59,339 -->
00:04:05,080
I I know I know how I felt like this when we were in Detroit and it's like, you know
49
00:04:05,720 -->
00:04:11,759
You know the Dallas Cowboys were always getting guys in trades the the 49ers were always getting, you know
50
00:04:11,759 -->
00:04:15,720
The Packers were and you always felt like those organizations were doing the things
51
00:04:16,000 -->
00:04:21,799
They're getting those great players to add to a really good team. And so inside the building with the players they go
52
00:04:21,839 -->
00:04:28,399
Hey, they're serious about this and we got a real shot and I think it gives everyone like a boost of confidence
53
00:04:29,239 -->
00:04:34,320
Tom Brady going to the back of the Buccaneers a few years ago was everyone in that building goes
54
00:04:34,920 -->
00:04:39,760
We can win the Super Bowl now even the guy that's the janitor like it sweeps up the you know
55
00:04:39,760 -->
00:04:41,440
The the locker room goes man
56
00:04:41,440 -->
00:04:42,480
We're going you know
57
00:04:42,480 -->
00:04:48,760
We're going to the Super Bowl with and they did and they won and so I think Myles Garrett could have a massive impact
58
00:04:49,200 -->
00:04:53,040
On on the Rams and I like what the Rams have been doing, you know
59
00:04:53,040 -->
00:04:59,839
They've been aggressive through the years, you know getting guys and and really making you know, making a difference in the moment
60
00:05:00,440 -->
00:05:04,600
Well, I don't I don't doubt anything you just said here's a problem I have though when you say you know
61
00:05:04,600 -->
00:05:10,359
what the quarterback and the defensive end in this day and age you think are those two most critical players and
62
00:05:10,839 -->
00:05:15,959
I agree that they are part of the pie. All right, they're part of the solution
63
00:05:16,160 -->
00:05:19,760
There's 11 guys. You still need all you have to have is one leaky player
64
00:05:19,760 -->
00:05:23,359
You have to have one player that's not able to hold up there in and they get
65
00:05:23,519 -->
00:05:28,440
Dominated by another player and all of a sudden it doesn't matter if I can double team miles
66
00:05:28,440 -->
00:05:33,640
But I can't you know, take care of something else on the other side. I can't I can't you know cover and
67
00:05:34,200 -->
00:05:36,799
It all depends. I think the teams are smart enough
68
00:05:36,799 -->
00:05:41,079
They know how to take these these single players and be able to offset them a little bit
69
00:05:41,079 -->
00:05:43,079
And if you are a smart coordinator
70
00:05:43,200 -->
00:05:48,040
You can actually have some of their aggressiveness or some of those players and the things that they do work against them
71
00:05:48,079 -->
00:05:53,359
So I'm not I'm not gonna just go in and say because this one player goes over there all of a sudden it
72
00:05:53,760 -->
00:05:55,359
Gives them a boost. Yes
73
00:05:55,359 -->
00:05:59,480
Does it does it solve a problem in terms of being able to be to rush the quarterback?
74
00:05:59,559 -->
00:06:05,720
Yes, but does it make up for other players and deficiencies they may have or areas they may not be as well
75
00:06:05,720 -->
00:06:10,200
Yeah, I can mask it and it can cover it some pot but for a low ball, but it's gonna get exposed
76
00:06:10,600 -->
00:06:16,640
So if they don't cover all those pieces and I get it. It's a passing league quarterback
77
00:06:16,640 -->
00:06:20,679
You need someone to go shut down and put pressure so quarterbacks don't get to hang out in there
78
00:06:20,679 -->
00:06:24,119
But we've seen it man if he's on he can only be on one side of the field at a time
79
00:06:24,119 -->
00:06:29,480
I'm just saying I like I don't buy into this and I'm where we're gonna disagree is I don't buy into
80
00:06:30,160 -->
00:06:37,880
One player. Yes, one player can elevate they can motivate they can they can they can make other players better around them because they
81
00:06:38,640 -->
00:06:41,839
Command other attention and all those things but at the end of it
82
00:06:41,839 -->
00:06:46,000
You still have to have a complete team or you have to have one that's better than your core
83
00:06:49,079 -->
00:06:52,119
But we make a lot out of you know, a player will all of a sudden
84
00:06:52,640 -->
00:06:58,399
Instantaneously make it so a team does X and I just don't believe that I think you still have to bring it all together
85
00:06:58,880 -->
00:07:02,760
No, I don't I clearly you have to have 11 guys on your team
86
00:07:02,839 -->
00:07:08,239
But nobody's gonna sit here and go miles Garrett is a bad choice or like he does
87
00:07:08,760 -->
00:07:13,559
He makes the team massively better. Well, my point my point is not
88
00:07:14,279 -->
00:07:18,720
Yes, you need more because there is this side of it where where you go, you know
89
00:07:18,720 -->
00:07:25,279
You get this one player and you go. Okay. Now the only expectation is winning a Super Bowl and that puts a
90
00:07:26,279 -->
00:07:32,679
Humongous amount of pressure on someone like miles Garrett. He's like, oh man. I got it. I got a really shine
91
00:07:32,679 -->
00:07:38,720
I got a really play and and so then maybe miles Garrett gets a little bit banged up and then he can't quite play at
92
00:07:38,720 -->
00:07:43,959
The same level and then there's all this pressure, you know, they're certainly they could go sideways on it
93
00:07:43,959 -->
00:07:49,559
I just like the aggressiveness. I love the pick and he's a guy that can be a huge impact
94
00:07:50,119 -->
00:07:57,059
For the Rams. So so it's it. I think it's a good thing. No, I'm not negative Nancy in this whole thing
95
00:08:03,640 -->
00:08:05,640
Listen here's the reason why I say that I
96
00:08:05,920 -->
00:08:11,359
Didn't start the question of a player comes in and all of a sudden it perks up the the entire team and everyone
97
00:08:11,480 -->
00:08:17,320
Defensively starts to play at a whole different level then it makes me question. Okay, what was going on before then?
98
00:08:17,320 -->
00:08:23,679
Why can't they play at that same level? Hey, you're right. I know it looked like that that leaf scared you man. I told
99
00:08:26,679 -->
00:08:28,839
Hey Scott, I won't even say
100
00:08:30,440 -->
00:08:36,440
That was the miles Garrett bird that scared the living hell out of Scott Mitchell while he was sitting right there
101
00:08:36,440 -->
00:08:41,520
And he thought he was coming off on the blind side. You're lefty man. That's why you saw him coming
102
00:08:41,520 -->
00:08:45,400
He's coming from your left side. You saw him coming. I thought he's gonna smack into my windshield
103
00:08:45,400 -->
00:08:50,200
Listen, we're on the same like miles Garrett is a huge lift for this football team
104
00:08:50,200 -->
00:08:54,880
I think he's gonna elevate the morale. He's gonna give them a different level of confidence
105
00:08:54,880 -->
00:09:01,500
He's gonna make the entire defense kind of feed off of that new energy because you know when they had Aaron there
106
00:09:01,500 -->
00:09:05,000
No, it was it was that kind of a feel you got that dominant pass rush
107
00:09:05,000 -->
00:09:06,679
You got that dominant defensive player
108
00:09:06,679 -->
00:09:13,479
all I'm saying is it it still is gonna come down to more than just that and I think teams when they know they
109
00:09:13,479 -->
00:09:15,479
Have a player like that on one side
110
00:09:15,880 -->
00:09:18,159
Typically unless you get someone else on the other side
111
00:09:18,159 -->
00:09:21,599
It's no different than when I played you got to have that other wide receiver
112
00:09:21,599 -->
00:09:26,780
Otherwise you get double covered all the time and you can lose some effectiveness if Barry is running the football
113
00:09:26,780 -->
00:09:31,359
He doesn't have receivers and it you know, it starts to gang up. So there's this compliment
114
00:09:31,359 -->
00:09:33,039
So I I would challenge you and say okay
115
00:09:33,039 -->
00:09:38,940
Well the compliment is it gonna come from the secondary or is it gonna come from amongst the defense the additional defensive lineman?
116
00:09:38,940 -->
00:09:44,159
And they'll say the linebackers all that's got to play a part to make him be that that successful player
