their defense is very good but they play a style and then i think that it'll fit us being able to throw the football down the field they're pretty aggressive they'll play man-to-man on the outside they'll do stuff like that and if we have you know number seven bond totally healthy You better be careful about playing us totally man-to-man like that.
We got guys in a system and a quarterback that certainly can make some big plays down the field. So, yeah, of course I give ourselves a chance to win this game.
I think, yes. I think he's one of the few that could probably make that crossover. One, I mean, he's a quarterback guy. He's an offensive guy. He's had a little history in the NFL. Of course, he worked for Nick Saban, which is as close as you're going to get in the college football level to NFL game planning and detail and preparation.
I look at it and go, he's always got a few little new wrinkles and game plan ideas, so I do think he has that capability, yes.
I mean, it's not easy, as you know, but yeah, offensive game plan designer who's creative and knows how to kind of coexist and bring a quarterback along, I think that's always going to be fancied in the NFL, and yeah, I think he is on a short list of guys that could actually get that done.
what do you make of these reports that quinn ewers might stay in college for a fifth year not at texas somewhere else it's somewhere in the neighborhood of six to ten million dollars as opposed to going to the nfl yeah it's crazy uh i i would actually i would do that if i was him right i i had this conversation a little bit with i think dan patrick about two weeks ago and that that's what i expected they're going to arch manning next year that is not that is not an option
They are super excited about what Arch Manning could be. And they're giving you the signals that they think they can be way greater than they are even now with Arch Manning at quarterback if he gets time to play and gets the reps and all that. Ewers, right, I think if he was like, oh, wait, the NFL views me as a fringe first rounder or maybe a second rounder, I'd go, go, see you later.
But the NFL doesn't view him like that. He's got to make a few more people believers. Just like you said, again, like you saw in the Arizona State game. There's just a few throws and a few plays every game where you just go, wait, you're too good to miss that throw or lob the ball up to let somebody knock it down.
I think he needs to go one more year and kind of work on some things to improve himself, which will then improve his stock in the NFL eyes or the people that are important in the NFL eyes.
I think so. I would expect that. But I would still be, if I'm like, you know, the dean at North Carolina or whatever, I'd be a little worried right now. I would be. You know, I think Bill Belichick first off was, uh, I think he panicked. That would be the first thing. I think he wanted to know or have a deal kind of in place, right? Like wink, wink. We're going to hire you.
We're going to go through the interview process and do all the things that we need to do. But when it's all said and done, we'll be wink, wink back to you. And we're going to hire Bill Belichick. He never got that. So I think because of that, he panicked a little bit and went to college football.
But within that, anybody that knows him or has ever been around him, we all question whether he fits college football, right? For a lot of reasons. I know you and I, we've all discussed this a little bit, but the recruiting, dealing with Jimmy and Johnny's mom, dealing with the fact that he's going to have to game plan way more simple than he ever has in his life.
Is he going to be mentally intrigued by that? Is that going to keep him going when he has to play like, oh, I got to play cover four for nine out of the 10 next snaps here because I got young kids who didn't get enough reps and I can't even do some of the crazy awesome stuff that I can really do.
So there's that aspect and all of that, and let alone relating to young kids and a kid that's different than back in the old days when he grew up or anything like that. You hear Brady and Gronk, none of them thought he would do this or be able to coexist in a college environment. So that would scare me. And yeah, if you made me bet, I would say it's one and done.
And then he hands it over to Steven Belichick to become the head coach. And then he tries to find a spot. But I still would be scared right now because $10 million is chump change to any owner who wants to buy him out. $10 million is chump change to Bill Belichick. I mean, Bill Belichick is swimming in it. He's got more money than he knows what to do with. So that means nothing.
I think in the long run, other than that, his reputation will take a big hit if he leaves right now.
I mean, I think that would be his spot for sure. But I don't know if the Giants would be the place I'd want to go to right now if I'm Bill Belichick, just because the Giants, I think, is a project, right? And we know they're keeping their coach and their GM anyways.
But, like, if you heard anything Mike Lombardi, who's close to Belichick, say, right, the jobs this year are not viewed as that great, right? Usually when you have seven or eight job openings, there's one or two that you look at and go – That team's pretty damn good. The coach was just horrible there and was messing it up. I'd like to take over that team.
I think Chicago was that team in this hiring cycle. I think Bill was trying to get to Chicago because of that. Chicago's really ready. You just need another offensive lineman or two, maybe one more defensive playmaker, and you go... okay, we're pretty good. And now let's just bring this rookie quarterback along.
I also think that's why Tampa was on his radar in a big way because there was Todd holes, maybe retires and gets out. And he's looking at Tampa going, they got a lot of stuff that works down there. Everything else is a little bit of a project or unknown. But to your point, though, if all was equal, yeah, I still think the Giants are a very special place to him and in his heart.
