the hell are these people? We've got nearly 33 percent turnover,
in one offseason. So today's draft
the new head coaches in the best situation to win
or whatever in 2022 Peter. You get the first pick.
I'll take Nathaniel Hackett.
He's a mad scientist
with quarterbacks.
Russell Wilson has wanted
unimaginative
coach to challenge him and to be able to bounce ideas off
him. I think the marriage is going to be very good and
you're walking into a team with a better offensive line than
Russell Wilson, left in Seattle.
And with the top, 10 defense
II mean
the I'm not The sky's the limit there in the toughest division
in the 20-year history
since the NFL went to 814 divisions.
This is the toughest division there ever was.
So I don't know what the final record is going to be, but
the Broncos are going to be a lot better.
The only caveat on the entire Broncos experience. Now,
especially with the new head coach is we don't know who
the owner is going to be looking for an owner. And that's
a dynamic that's fairly significant that is going to
potentially change things at some point
this year. And
I like I it's not it's not necessarily going to be a bad
thing. It's just going to be different and we won't know
until we know who it is and how that person is going to run
the team. I'm going to start with Todd bolts
because
look, he's got Tom Brady. He's got a team that's brought back,
most of its players. It's clearly a contender in
a watered-down NFC, they should be able to run that division,
that division has
coaches who have been there
fewer than four years. Each mat rule is the dean as someone
pointed out this week. It was Albert Breer. He's the dean of
the NFC South now. So
I'll take Tom Brady.
I'll take Byron Leftwich and I'll focus on the defense
and I'll be the head coach on game day
and life could be pretty good. At least for 2022 in Tampa.
You know, I'll pick a little bit of a weird one. I'm going
to pick Maddie brief loose and the reason I'm going to pit
mat. Pick Maddie brief loose in Chicago. Is that sometimes you
simply need somebody to come in.
Who is a breath of fresh air?
That's all sometimes. You just need a change. Mm. A debrief,
loose is coming in. Everybody said, oh my God, why you
picking a defensive guy?
Because when Ryan poles did his interviews, the one thing he
was looking for is the best. Of men
and I don't think I've told this story but Ryan poles.
What's interesting about this and I don't mean to take up too
much time.
But Ryan polls after when he had to sit down and decide what
he was going to do,
got back into his office. And somebody said hey, Tony Dungy
is looking for you. Can he call you?
You know, I'll give him your phone number. Yeah, of course,
so he calls him and he said hey said
pick the guy who you
You think is going to be the best guy.
Don't listen to the outside world about saying, who you
should pick, whatever pick the guy who you want, pick the guy
who can lead your team.
And,
and Ryan poll said it was like heaven sent. You know, that
that that happened because I kept thinking about that. You
have all these people saying how here's who you should pick,
here's who the favorite is, get an offensive guy to help Justin
Fields.
He picked the guy who he thinks is going to be the best leader
for his team. And right now, I I think starting over is
exactly what Justin Fields needs.
I will go with Mike McDaniel the new Dolphins coach. I think
he's awesome. He's a breath of fresh air for the NFL. He's
very real. He's authentic and he's different in a good way.
And he's got Tyree kill, and he's got Jalen waddle, and he's
got
that. Kyle Shanahan offense.
That is going to make the Dolphins who have managed to
put together back-to-back winning seasons, even though
them got into the playoffs. The defense is still in place. Josh
Booher. The coordinator is still there.
You bring in Mike McDaniel. It's,
it's
kind of like
the flip side to what the Buccaneers did when they
brought in. Jon Gruden,
you know, yeah. Well, not you bring in a guy. That's really
going to get it's not the flip side. It's the exact same. You
bring in a guy who's going to kick the offense in the ass at
a time. When you got a pretty good defense.
The offense needed a kick in the ass.
Mike McDaniel is going to supply it if the defense holds
where it was this team can be pretty damn good right away.
Peter.
Micah for my last one. I'm going to pick Josh McDaniels
with the Raiders.
He got a lot better
at a lot smarter
and will be a lot more successful
because of two things that happen within 30 hours of each
other in the month of March.
They signed Chandler Jones. So now it's going to be Chandler,
Jones, and Max Crosby to
top 10 Edge rushers playing together
in 2022.
On a defense that needs to get a lot of pressure in a division
with great quarterbacks. And then obviously, they got
Davante Adams.
And in my opinion Davante, Adams and
and and Derek Carr going to make beautiful music together.
So I think that the Raiders are going to show up show very,
very well
in Josh, McDaniels
rookie, second rookie year as a head coach, it gets very
difficult now because
jobs become available
for a reason.
Because the team isn't very good, but I'll go with Dennis
Allen in New Orleans. This is a guy who had been strangely
overlooked
in the hiring process, even though he's done a phenomenal
job with a defense that was in shambles when he arrived 2015.
I believe the year was he's quietly been, they're
putting together a very good defense. We saw what he can do
last year on a Sunday night when Sean Payton was
unavailable due to covid, protocols, Dennis Allen, and
the Saints show. Out out. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers nine
to nothing in prime time. So
Alan
who's going to draw a great hand with the Raiders.
Mike? Shanahan didn't draw a great hand with the Raiders.
Plenty of people would fail
at various points, given the dysfunction that is generally
in golf that team for the past 20 years or longer, but
I think that Alan
with so much continuity.
With Mickey Loomis in his corner,
you know, they've got
it's kind of like what they, what they did in Tampa. They
just did it earlier. They did it in January, not in March. So
even though they have to deal with the Bucks, I think Dennis
Allen's in great.
