00:00But I want to get your thoughts here, Scott, because I am also fascinated, one of the new
00:05head coaches on the sideline for a team this year, and we just got to watch the former
00:11coach actually in the booth last night there with Mike Tomlin.
00:17Mike McCarthy now on the sidelines there of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:23I'm fat.
00:23Call me crazy.
00:24Aaron Rodgers with knowing this is it, knowing he can take shots at everyone on the way out
00:31the door, I think it's going to be must-watch television here this year.
00:36I just can't figure out what we're going to get from McCarthy that we didn't get from
00:42Tomlin.
00:42I mean, nobody did more with less than Tomlin did.
00:47I mean, is he going to win all of those one-score games, McCarthy, like Tomlin did?
00:52Like, I don't know what we're going to get, but I know this, it's going to be entertaining
00:57as all hell to watch.
00:59Yeah.
00:59I mean, you know why?
01:00Because you're right.
01:01With Rodgers knowing this is probably it, you know, he showed up a lot of players last year
01:06when things weren't going well.
01:08And for the most part, you know, they did go well.
01:11He was still yelling and screaming on it.
01:13If you remember the one play, he wouldn't come off the field when they wanted to kick
01:15the field goal and which game that was.
01:17Then the next drive, they decided to go for it and they wanted to come off the field.
01:22I mean, you know, the dude's got to be 43.
01:25God bless some of us still playing and everything.
01:27He's got to be 43, Joe, you know, in December.
01:31I think this has got awfulness, however you want to say it, written all over it.
01:37I really do.
01:37You're right.
01:38You know, I'm a Tomlin guy.
01:40I know they didn't win in the postseason.
01:41But I think that was just a classic case of he took a mediocre team to playoff level.
01:47He didn't take a playoff team and keep them just a playoff team.
01:50He got the most out of that team.
01:53They weren't favorites in any of those games that they were losing in the postseason
01:57over the last 10 years anyway.
01:59So, and I think that your Steeler fans are going to find that out.
02:02You know, they kind of pushed him out a little bit.
02:04I think they're going to, you know, question that after this season.
02:07I think this has got disaster written all over it.
02:10I really do.
02:12Well, it'll be fun to watch it all crumble or, I mean, who knows?
02:17We'll see if McCarthy can get the best out of Aaron Rodgers and that offense
02:22because they're going to need to do.
02:24Right.
02:24He couldn't win with a young Troy Aikman down in Dallas with all the weapons.
02:28How's he going to win with an old Aaron Rodgers, realistically?
02:31I don't see it.
02:32And a very old defense, too.
02:34That's the other problem with, listen, for Tomlin to leave to go and sit with that
02:39crew last night on television.
02:42And the lawyer, you know, he was done.
02:45Like, he had it up to me.
02:46He's like, I'm not coming back to this disaster.
02:48We can't get a quarterback.
02:50We're paying more money for an aging defense than any other team.
02:54Like, all of this is going to end in flames.
02:56I think he knew exactly what he was doing going, yeah, I'm good.
03:00My time is up.
03:01I'll see you in like a year or two.
03:03I'll come back and I'll pick the team that I want to be with.
03:06But, yeah, right now I am good to go with that.
03:10But also, by the way, they start, they're putting a microphone in Stefan Diggs' face
03:15a lot here.
03:16He's got a new team with the Commanders.
03:19I'm kind of shocked that him and Debo opened up camp without being on teams.
03:24And we know the injury to the 49ers, Debo goes back home.
03:27That's an easy fit.
03:29Diggs with the Commanders, I think, is very interesting.
03:34You know, Terry McLaren is going to be the number one.
03:36Diggs is now your number two.
03:38I don't know.
03:39I mean, Daniels took a big step back last year.
03:43You want to talk about hot seat.
03:45Is Dan Quinn on the hot seat here, Scott?
03:48Yeah, I think so.
03:50You know, this is a strange team, right?
03:52Are you going to get this Washington team from two years ago that surprised everybody?
03:56Or are you going to get the Washington team, you know, albeit with Daniels being hurt,
03:59but that let everybody down, right?
04:01You wonder about Diggs, too.
04:03You know, he had 85 receptions for 1,000 yards.
04:06Not that many touchdowns.
04:07You know, but he was pretty productive.
04:09And I know he had a balloon payment.
04:11You know, they set up the contract where there's no way he was going to be on the team.
04:14But that didn't stop the Patriots from ripping that up.
04:17Diggs from ripping that up and saying, all right, we'll just give you a new deal.
04:20But we want you.
04:21You were productive last year.
04:22So I'm a little surprised, you know, especially with New England's passing game, that they let him go.
