00:00This is where I have to give light and air to something I don't want to do and a conversation
00:04I don't want to have because when you hear I you know how this goes if you're saying five if
00:11you're
00:11saying four wins and I'm saying five wins all right and we're still kind of all I don't know
00:16where everybody else is I don't know they change from hour to hour but you're saying four I'm
00:20saying five wins that's not a great season all right and I think it's not a great season because
00:25of one position I think that there's other places not only that I'd say that they're very they're
00:31very thin in a lot of areas too plus new ed coach new coordinators well that's very young okay that
00:37normally is a blueprint for a lot of losses but there's a lot of things there that I can actually
00:40understand when I when I just sit there and I watch them during practice and see some of the other
00:45things I'll explain that here in a second but because of what Todd Munkin just said if you can
00:51see the anger you can see the pressure starting to build not anger yet well there were plenty of
00:58people angry last week but you could see the pressure starting to build and the agitation
01:02starting to build you know you said you didn't watch him on tape now I don't believe that and
01:07no coaches are going to believe that no coach is going to believe that Owen is Owen doesn't believe
01:11it you're a media guy you don't believe it so coaches immediate I just I flat out I don't believe
01:15him there's no way unless he just wanted to be a head coach so bad he's just like closing his
01:20eyes and and poking his fingers in his ears to make sure he doesn't see anything because he just
01:24wanted to be a head coach which if that's the case then what John Fanta said yesterday ends up
01:30bringing more and more true this is what I hate because I did I I heard it yesterday Anthony I
01:36love
01:36John we all love John I rolled my eyes because I don't want to have this conversation I think it's
01:41asinine to have it now but when you say things like like you didn't see the quarterback that nobody likes
01:47that's a pariah you didn't watch him on tape before you took the job
01:53you lead me to start to think things and I don't want to get mad at John for telling me
02:00what just
02:00might be a truth that I don't want to hear here's Fanta yesterday afternoon you put up two stinkers to
02:07start the year eventually somebody cracks whether that's Watson again whether that's the coach let's
02:13be real Todd Munkin's on a one year here I like Todd I don't know if he's a guy for
02:19them that's
02:19staying past this year I don't know the answer to that question I think there's a world where if he
02:25breaks which he's already shown signs like losing effects people you start to say the wrong thing
02:31and you start to say things that don't align with leadership and you start to allude to the fact that
02:36maybe you didn't have full control of the quarterback competition and maybe there wasn't one I'm just
02:41throwing out the hypothetical then they could choose to remove you and if he doesn't align with
02:46what they want after 15 games and his football team through 15 games is 4 and 11 then he could
02:52lose his
02:52job because Andrew Barry will convince the owner we should draft a new quarterback and we should bring
02:57his coach along with him and let's get somebody that Peyton thinks is fun and let's get arch I don't
03:04know all I'm saying is this can change quickly with the Haslams they've tried to practice this patience
03:10only reason why is because their money's been tied up with this QB1 there's a term that we've used you
03:16and I on this show where it's not wrong it's just early I go back I remember I think it
03:23was LeVar
03:23Arrington who had said a year before Belichick was gone at the beginning of the year he could be fired
03:30and people went crazy and then at the end of it it was time for Belichick to go he wasn't
03:37wrong he was
03:38just early and it bothers me to hear what John says but that doesn't mean I have to sit here
03:44and
03:44discredit John because I look at this roster Anthony and yeah they're thin and I've said I don't think
03:50they're going to win very many ball games because I think they're thin in the secondary they're still
03:54thin at linebacker the guys that are good in the secondary who are who are not starters they're
03:59rookies they're young they're raw guys who are excited about you know you have an offensive line here
04:04I see the reasoning behind it you know Elton Jenkins has played every position on the offensive
04:10line and right now he's the center and then when you are ready to put Parker Brailsford in there
04:14you could bump Elton Jenkins over to guard Austin Barber was a tackle in college you have a guy now
04:19that can play right guard playing right guard for you you have Spencer Fano who's going to be your
04:24opening day left tackle Spencer Fano by the time it's all said and done not by bad play but by
04:29necessity
04:30could end up being right tackle right guard like there's so many different things you could do
04:34so if they can move in unison it can be better but at the end of it what do we
04:39have at quarterback
04:40we have a guy who's afraid of his own shadow who's a broken QB and we have a guy that's
04:45still not up to
04:46speed yet that's because that's what the Browns are telling you without telling you because one guy
04:50has thrown it better and that's been Shador and the other guy has been just the groundhog on February 2nd
04:57and so if you're telling me that it's operational then we're still going to be bad and that leads me
05:03to think okay maybe John's right because you might end up in a position where all right like let's be
05:09honest we all know who's friends with who and we all know how that family is but I mean isn't
05:14it
05:14I hate to admit it is it pretty obvious that it's a one-year audition and that's what I hate
05:18for the
05:19offense that's what I hate but is it isn't that knowing how crucial having the opportunity to draft a
05:25quarterback in a draft in the top five or whatever it is maybe number one overall who knows
05:29uh that that is such a serious responsibility look at what the Bears did to make sure that they were
05:39not going to squander Caleb Williams they went and got the best guy available I know so do you think
05:44but they waited till year two to do it they still gave old uh what's his uh Matt Eberflus another
05:50year
05:50that was heavily criticized and who knows now maybe they they might have rescued it whatever
05:55even though a lot of the regular season numbers out of Caleb Williams was still was still touch and go
05:59but then he morphed into this all-time big playmaker in huge playoff moments down the stretch of the
06:05season and in the playoffs for Todd if this offense looks even on a bad team some offenses can look
06:12like
06:12they have explosive plays some creativity some ingenuity offensive line gelling when it's completely new
06:18even with some some veterans that have come off injuries but also some young guys if that is the
06:23case and the arrow is pointing up then he's he succeeds he passes the audition even if they lose
06:3013 12 or 13 games that can be the case however if it's the flip side of that and they
06:36are an offense
06:37stuck in mud they can't get plays in the creativity is completely zapped because they're they can't even
06:44get out of the huddle okay they're just going to move on because they are not going to put the
06:50responsibility that they will have over arch manning dante more we've got some other quarterbacks too
06:54we're going to be talking about they're just not going to do that and i don't and i don't think
06:57i
06:57don't think many teams would and i don't want to believe it i don't want to believe it i don't
07:00want
07:01to believe it because they they give the last guy six years and people were calling for his job for
07:05the last two years so you think Todd should just get the job no matter what no no no no
07:08that's not what i'm
07:09saying so why do you say i don't want to believe it i because i just because i don't want
07:13to believe
07:13it doesn't mean it's true i just said i don't want to believe it it doesn't mean it's not true
07:16i didn't want to believe that deshaun watson was going to be the starter again and then the day
07:21todd munkin got hired i had to go it's a possibility it could possibly be true did you lose trust
07:25in
07:25todd already based on that decision no not based on that decision fans but if you go out there and
07:31you
07:31suck up the room and you're telling people that you're not watching tape of a quarterback that they
07:34openly dislike that's going to rub a lot of people the wrong way anthony that's my issue with
07:39it is because these thoughts that are being put out there that people are quietly going oh yeah
07:43now every time he talks you're just taking him less seriously and there is a very fine line look at
07:53the let me just point this out i know we got to go look at the things that bill parcells
07:59said
08:01bill parcells has said wild things in press conferences during his during his career as a head
08:06coach look at the things dick has said wild things in press conferences they're known as colorful
08:12characters they're colorful characters because they're winners you know what freddie kitchens is
08:16known as he's known as a boob because he got one year and he said a lot of colorful things
08:22and they were
08:23fun but when it was time to get serious it was time to get him out and i'm afraid that
08:27that's what's
08:28going to happen here that's what bothers me about it it doesn't mean it's not true it just means i
08:35hate
08:35doing it because already you can see the writing on the wall
08:39you
