00:00
So, uh, as far as, uh, Sam in the future, because McCarthy's had two knee surgeries
00:10
and is there a plan to just go to him because I'm hearing, Oh, Sam Darnold's going to have
00:15
15 job offers.
00:17
What is the Vikings plan for the future?
00:21
I know they're worried about right now, sitting where they are in the position they're in
00:25
the postseason is right around the corner doing pushups, but let's face facts.
00:29
Uh, there's people talking about him playing back here in New York.
00:35
Well, if it was a gun to the head situation for the GM or the head coach right now, I
00:41
would imagine they probably have a great feeling as to exactly what they want to do moving
00:47
in the off season.
00:48
You know, they, they've done a really good job with reclamation projects.
00:51
Scott, uh, Sam would be that we got this defensive lineman, former first round pick, uh, I believe
00:56
by the chargers named Jerry Tillery.
00:59
We considered him a bust.
01:00
He's having the best season of his career.
01:02
We Jonathan Bernard, Blake Cashman, Andrew Van Ginkle, they're Byron Murphy, Jr.
01:07
They're all having the best seasons of their career at bank ankles, V bomb.
01:15
So with that said, uh, you know, Sam, um, I don't know what they're going to do.
01:22
And working with the team yet doing a radio show, it obviously has some tricky balance
01:27
to it.
01:28
But over the years, I've just learned when to push and when not to push.
01:33
And that's not a question I'm going to ask on the inside right now, when the season's
01:38
over, I'm quite positive.
01:39
I'll have the answer.
01:40
Uh, if I were to use discernment, um, putting a franchise tag on him at $38 million and
01:46
moving from there seems, seems to be the right business way to do it.
01:51
Right.
01:52
Um, you know, because if he's really going to get 35 a year and some cousins ask a hundred
01:56
million promised, I just don't see it happening here because we have another reclamation project.
02:01
By the way, you know who he is.
02:03
You're based in the NYC, uh, Daniel Jones and, you know, darn old, like Jones, a former
02:08
first round pick those Daniel.
02:11
Now that I've gotten to know him a little bit and watch him on the practice squad and
02:14
practice.
02:15
Okay.
02:16
He's skilled.
02:17
Everybody knows that.
02:18
And he made a lot of mistakes.
02:19
Everybody knows that.
02:20
But I just think he needed to chill and just get away from that situation for a little
02:25
while.
02:26
Take, take a deep breath and then work with these hot Kevin O'Connell probably is going
02:31
to be coach of the year.
02:32
He's favored and he's gone favored the last three weeks.
02:35
So you know how that works.
02:36
Those are a lot of dimes rolling in on my Steelers and giving, giving your coach an
02:42
award that the Steelers coach is going to get signed.
