00:00I get the sense on Bean that this is something we talked about in the preseason.
00:05The failures of the defense, if the defense fails them.
00:09For a long time, those were laid at the feet of Sean McDermott,
00:12and now you can't do that anymore, right?
00:16And you don't want to probably do it to a first-year coordinator in Jim Leonard
00:19who's coming in and trying to turn into a new defense,
00:21and you certainly don't put it at the head coach.
00:23So for better or for worse, if the defense is bad,
00:27it'll be Brandon Bean that gets the calls to our station.
00:31It'll be Brandon Bean that gets a lot of the,
00:33can you believe this team is still bad on that side of the ball?
00:36There's a reason to say why it would happen if they're going through this scheme shift,
00:39but I don't know.
00:40The scheme shift doesn't have to be a total whatever.
00:45It doesn't have to completely explain away.
00:47It's not tanking to the bottom because we decided we're going to change our scheme.
00:51They also, it's very different from last year.
00:56Like, what do you want to put at the feet of the GM?
00:59Last year, they ended up having a defense where a bunch of old guys had to come back and save
01:05the day.
01:05Like, is that on the feet?
01:06You could say that's at the GM because where are all my guys that I'm invested in?
01:12Where are all my young players?
01:14Where are all my draft picks?
01:15This year, you could do the same thing, but for a different reason.
01:19Listen, the draft picks are out there.
01:21Like, who on this team that's a day two pick, at least, starting on defense?
01:27It's Bishop, it's Hairston, it's Igbenosin, it's Dorian Williams, it's Terrell Bernard.
01:32Like, these are all guys, the guys that are letting you down, which are in that back seven,
01:36are all guys you've basically spent at least a day two pick on.
01:40Right.
01:40And that's a different type of blame, but I think it might even be a stronger version of it
01:45because you've invested in these players that are out there, and they're not getting the job done at all.
01:52That said, Deion Walker is about to be the next, he got this guy.
01:56Right.
01:57And, you know, if you tell me you got Deion Walker in a draft and the rest of it was
02:01meh,
02:02I think it's a good draft.
02:03If he's as good as he looks to be so far.
02:05Well, I think it's a good draft.
