has this question for is Paul could Kirk Cousins and Jim
Harbaugh coexist in Minnesota.
Well, I've had I think they could because
Kirk and Zimmer coexisted. All right, and you know, when Kirk
did they, when did they will
they, will they coexisted? I mean that's that's about best
way to put it but it into the season, man, you remember it?
Because I think we even argued about it on the radio a little
bit when Kirk
made the decision not to vaccinate.
All right, that that made Zimmer pear-shaped,
but see and then like fans were killing curse.
Also
selfish narcissistic, you don't get it the whole thing. But see
here's the fraudulent nature of fans because then
Kirk plays like an MVP
and he's helping your fantasy football team and you're all
cash in bets because of him. So then we can't find you with
a Searchlight,
but then it gets bitten front of the Green Bay game and and
the season's over well now all of a sudden, he's the devil, so
they're just it just
outside of you. I mean you were consistent the entire Her way
with your stance because you didn't have an agenda but a lot
of people have agendas with things like this and and
whether I mean it Kirk and Jim Harbaugh cannot coexist. He's
an offensive mind. Who was a quarterback. He has
a gregarious
personality. He's not crotchety from what I understand, but he
has an opinion.
Honestly. I don't care. I mean, because I just don't care if
corking can exist with him, coexist with him. Out of these
are it has to happen because Jim's high end.
They got one year left on his contract with Kirk Cousins
the way. It's set up. It'll be very difficult to franchise tag in
for next year. I think they need to make a decision one way
or the other up or out with Kirk Cousins. They either
extend him or they move on and you know, how I feel about Kirk
Cousins.
You give a clean pocket, you give a clean pocket, he'll
slice and dice, you know, bet the minute The Walls Start to
close in and the minute The Walls Start to close in. He's
not my home's, he's not Josh out and he's not Kyle Armory,
but you
got to be able to. You got to be able to make chicken salad
when the play that's called falls apart.
Unless you're going to block the guy better and they don't
block for him as well as they need to. They had a guy in Case
Keenum who was able
to make things happen with his legs and extend plays,
horizontally and find somebody open. They didn't want that.
They wanted the guy who'd stay in the pocket. As long as
the pocket concept works. It's fine.
The moment. It doesn't work.
It's over. That's the problem. He can put great stats
together, but big games clutch moments. Take away the Run
game. How many times we see? The Run game gets stifled
and cousins collapsed.
When they can t off on him, that's the problem.
Michael. It's layered are
our first-year offensive line coach Phil Rauscher.
I mean, he did such a good job in a weird spot because
Dennison wouldn't vaccinate. I mean, that's that's a master's
in engineering from the Kubiak tree
with four. Super Bowl rings. Okay. I mean that's high-end
offensive line coach, but high-end Run game coordinator.
So the guy who replaced him Phil Rauscher, he's different.
I mean,
fill in his first year, he
Reaches in and get your soul,
and did a wonderful job with the Vikings offensive line.
What? He got out of Ezra Cleveland at left guard, and so
on, Dara saw, when he was playing, so this is not
an affront on on Phil,
but part of the reason our running game fell off is because
because of the dentist and situation.
So now Denison's going to be Consulting guy, right?
I mean, I didn't hear one time all season.
Anybody Zimmer's be home in anybody
praise Dennis. And for the work, he's doing consulting.
Because he probably wasn't Consulting.
So I am in that that feels like
it. Might be crotchety head coach being like
bleep. You if you're going to do this and be here, then we
are going to use it. I can't say that for sure. But if I'm
crazy adobo Mensa,
the new general manager, get gonna quarterbacks
that like my egg topic right now
is figuring out if gal, Monde can play,
because I got so sick last year behind the scenes and being
a practice and stuff.
Of hearing people say k can't play Kellen can play and then
simmer childishly assassinated in verbally after the Green Bay
game that was ridiculous
how he treated that
and okay, Kellen might not be able to play
but but you can't. You cannot ascertain that point off,
watching him as the scout team quarterback, mimicking every
quarterback. We're going to face every week. So
they used a third on him.
You know, I got other people around.
The league before the draft who I respect telling me that is
not the greatest pick in the world, but it still doesn't
mean it can't work specifically with a guy like Harbaugh who
again with Kaepernick, but you know, much more highly touted
out of Nevada Reno
and he's bigger and he's thicker than Kalin
but Kellen can run a little Colin could run a lot.
So you got to figure out. If there's something you can do
with Kalyn, whether Kirk is here or not, you with me.
I'm with you and I think it makes sense and we'll see how
it plays out. I'll go back to a point. I've been making for
the last week and this applies to the Giants, the Bears,
the Vikings. Now the Bears in the Vikings of the Bears and
the Giants, excuse me, have their coaches. But you hire
your GM. Presumably to go out and get the coach and a do
fomento seems to be on board with Jim Harbaugh. Will see if
ownership
is on board with it. I like the leverage play angle
for Kevin O'Connell. Maybe that's what they're trying to do.
Maybe it's leverage for Harbaugh. Ah
with Michigan or maybe once Miami come to the table, we'll
see how it all plays out. They are Millie interviewing that
what wouldn't they are bomb, made more money at Michigan.
He agreed to take a pay cut. He took a pay cut last year
because he hadn't been getting it done.
Now. He had that one year. I got it done
and he's looking for greener pastures.
Yeah, but you know what man,
I mean, I'm not I'm not disrespecting or disparaging
the the coaching ranks in college football. Okay?
Recruiting you got kids who deal with different Worms,
you can't pay em, or you can kind of pay him or whatever it
is. You're right about it all the time,
but it's a different Beast here in the NFL ma'am and it can be
Steely
and Jim ain't leaving that that Nookie blankie for a 1 million
dollar raise
that? That's the end of the story and
I mean, if Zimmer on the buyout, you know,
Zimmer on the buyout is deal, was guaranteed.
So that was a fat number now over two years. So now that's
two years.
You know, at whatever it was each year a dish 8 and change.
So if I'm Jim, I start there. I mean you want me to leave this
where I can stay here forever.
And you want me to come in there work with a quarterback
on a one-year deal? And you're telling me that danil Hunter
might not be on the team because of money and injury.
And you're telling me bar might not be on the team and you're
telling me Patrick Peterson. Who by the way, is a freaking
stud. My God. Was he good last year?
You're telling me Patrick will only be here if Todd Bowles as
the coach. Wow, I need eight
and I want say over Personnel.
It's my call one who we draft, and that's how it's going to
work. And I know Quay. See and I'm going to work well, with
Gracie and whomever else you hire, but it feels like
an eight. So
now you got what four years of AIDS, or eight nines and tens,
and then you just gave quazy three and change your paying
off Zim.
Whatever it is. You're paying off Rick, whatever it is. Whoa,
they got it though, you know,
hey,
Throw it out. They got it. We won't. We won't need to have
a bake sale for the wolf's. Trust me on that.
I got to let you go.
Like I let you go.
But I have to compliment you. I have to call my me on one thing
first time. First time, the words, beast and Steely
have been used in the same line
since the Eagles Classic Hotel, California of the late 1970s
the song with which I'm sure you are very familiar. They
stab it with their Steely knives, but they just can't
kill the Beast. You got
Beast in front of Steely. I'll still take it. Thank you. As
always, don't wreck your you go. Be careful. What did you
think of? I gotta go
food
Valley, hoods. Okay. I'll give it a 4. I give it a 4. Maybe
a five. I want to do. All right. Hey, thank you here today. I'll
talk to you later.
I like your hair everyday. Mr. Einstein. I love you.
