Matt Hasselbeck

Oh, do we have a Monday show lined up for you live in Los Angeles? It's the Herd. Wherever you may be and however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. We got a lot to talk about. Colin right? Colin wrong. Plenty of both topping next hour. Matt Hasselbeck, who's always money. He'll bring the bag. J Ma, I don't know if you noticed, but Sam Darnold next weekend will be playing for the number one seed in the nfc. Oh, by the way, once again slighted Sam Darnold. Why isn't he in the MVP conversation? Am I crazy? He leads in like every category. Why isn't he in the MVP competition? You're right.
- [04:10]
Steve Covino
Brock Purdy was in it last year.
- [04:11]
Matt Hasselbeck
That's right.
- [04:12]
Steve Covino
Sam Darnold's like a carbon copy of Brock Purdy.
- [04:14]
Matt Hasselbeck
So it's amazing. He's been slighted for six years. Let's start with this. For the last six years, I've been mocked, ridiculed, laughed at, and it hurt my feelings. And I still believed. Sam Darnold's got a little bit of Andrew Luck. Tough, relentless, like a linebacker playing quarterback. Coachable, throws a bad pick, follows it up with a great pass. What you're seeing is the Andrew Luck thing, and they're asking him to make big boy throws. He leads the NFL, 60 completions over 20 plus yards. Those are Brady and Mahome throws. No dink and dunk here. 70% completion rate, 26 TDs, three picks in the red zone. He's the league's Most efficient quarterback now. And in the second half of the last seven games, 1,000 yards and a passer rating of 114. Why is he not in the MVP discussion? Hello. Look at all the numbers. Because you've already disqualified him. You made up your mind. And that's what we do in the media. You have decided it's a cute story, but no, no, no, no, no. This roster isn't great. There's no but. Lamar Jackson, Sam Darnold, look at the numbers. Who do you trust more in a playoff game? Are you sure it's Lamar? And I love Lamar. But when I said years ago, I said there's some Andrew Luck here. All you did just took shots. Here's the thing. When you watch him play, you know what you notice how much his coach, his coach trusts him. And don't worry about being liked in life. It's who likes you. And everybody in America was bailing on Sam Darnold. You know who didn't. Kyle Shanahan's like, I think he's good. Kevin O'Connell, McVeigh. Yeah, I think he's really good. Yeah, I'm going to trust those guys. Yeah. A lot of defensive coordinators who are anti risk didn't like him. And by the way, he'll give you an ugly pick. So does Mahomes, so does Josh Allen, so does Justin Herbert. But after his pick yesterday, 9 for 12, 134 passer rating, that is Andrew Luck. I don't think he's as gifted as Andrew Luck. I never have. I said it then. There's some Andrew Luck a little far here. But what you're seeing now, look at what they ask him to do. Anytime you watch a game, when you watch the offense, watch what a coaching staff allows the quarterback to do. In fact, my criticism of Minnesota yesterday was when they let in the second half, I was like, kevin, turn the governor down. Throttle it down. You don't have to have, you don't have to have him throw in the teeth of Green Bay's pass Russian defense. But that's how much confidence they have. And this is not the best the roster will be. They've got cap space. They've got a lot of really, really good young players as Sam Darnold, the Hero 33 of 43 should be in the MVP conversation. Show you a picture of him here going into the locker room. They know what they have in Minnesota. What they have is an MVP level quarterback. It's not just a great story. That was September and October and then in November do we have a great player now? It's like, do we have the mvp? You can't let him go. His, his contract now is 50. It's not a 40, it's a 50 on the market. Here's Sam after a lot of water.
- [07:41]
Lavar Arrington
Bottles, a lot of water. It was just mayhem. I think I blacked out, you know, when, when Aaron Jones grabbed me and lifted me up. I didn't know what to do with my hands in that situation. So Ricky Bobby style. So it was, yeah, it was an interesting moment, but a fun. And to be embraced by your teammates like that.
- [08:00]
Matt Hasselbeck
Sam has played so well for three months straight. You know, I always do the super bowl bubble. About once a month, every five weeks. Here's my super bowl bubble. Green Bay's out. Minnesota is in. I think the Rams, the Packers and the Chargers are still a year away. Green Bay's disappointed me in the last few weeks. Can't beat Minnesota or Detroit. I'll put Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit. And Darnold has been good enough. This isn't me being a fanboy. Darnold has been so absolutely spectacular. They lost their left tackle earlier this year. Arguably the first or second best left tackle has he lost since. It's not like this is a great defense. Green Bay's got better personnel. So does half the league. Way to go, Sammy. One person in America did not bail on you. Anyway, let's go to Jaden Daniels. So here's. Of the many reasons the NFL is king, this could be number one. It's the League of Hope. Washington was a tire fire because of the worst owner arguably in professional sports, Dan Snyder. And so they just cleaned out the building. They sold the team, new gm And I said, you know what? Snyder had such a stench around him. I think they're going to make the playoffs and I think Jaden's going to be really good. I didn't think he was going to be this. I said, you know, he'll be like Lamar Jackson. Light. I'm not sure if it's light. This kid's insane. And in the NFL, if you get the quarterback right, everything else falls into place. This is not a great roster. But even their defense, last year, worst in the league, total defense, now it's 10. Why is that? Because their defense plays with a lead. A great quarterback is makeup on a blemish. It's an eraser. Everybody's got issues. A great quarterback erases them. And an average quarterback, what Indianapolis has multiplies them. And this, this old line's not Great, but now it's formidable. The defense has issues on the back end, but when you play with a lead, defensive line can pin their ears back. Every unit now, I mean, they didn't make that many personnel changes, but every unit looks better. And I mean, like yesterday is a prime example of what a great player can do. I thought the Atlanta Falcons finally getting a pass rush. Matthew Judon, I thought they had some good coverage. It didn't matter. As good as Penix was, he can't do this. You can add 25 to 35% to a playbook because Jaden Daniels can run. And I love Pennix, but he looked limited in the sand. He's excellent compared to Jaden Daniels, so. And what's really remarkable, it's not just when you're good. The first thing we noticed about Patrick Mahomes and you noticed, I noticed this, by year two, he was actually almost better trailing in games. A lot of quarterbacks with a lead, it's second and three. You got good protection. Cooper Rush can make plays. You trail by two touchdowns. End of the third, they know you've got a throw. You got a banged up offensive line. That was the first sign with Mahomes. Oh, wait, bro, this is different. He may be the best come from behind quarterback not named John Elway ever. Jaden Daniels in the fourth quarter in overtime this year.
- [11:29]
Steve Covino
This again.
- [11:29]
Matt Hasselbeck
This is an okay offensive line. He's got one weapon, has the highest passer rating in the league. That is insane. And remember back in camp when generally when you get a rookie quarterback, like in Chicago with Caleb Williams or Denver with Drake May or New England, Denver with Bo Nix or New England with Drake May. Remember what the coaches always do. Well, he's got a long way to go. Let's slow down. Let's pump the brakes. Cliff Kingsbury and Dan Quinn, every time you put a mic in front of them, they were like, holy, this guy's unbelievable. You're like, okay, this guy's got to be good. That coaches never do that. Kingsbury's been in the league. Dan Quinn's been in the league forever. Dan Quinn during the preseason. This kid's unbelievable. You're like, what are you doing? Doesn't matter. Kid can handle it. I mean, he. I just, I love this kid. No ego, loves his teammates. A couple drops yesterday by his receivers. How many penalties did Washington have? You're pulling your hair out and he's just like, all right, another play. No bad body language. You see that occasionally from a quarterback in New York. No pointing fingers. He's a foxhole guy. Going, gets tough. The kid just head down, no finger pointing. Zach Ertz, a veteran tight end, noticed it in camp.
- [12:58]
Lavar Arrington
It comes down to having a really good quarterback in this league if you want to be a good team. And from the moment I got here, seeing Jaden out there, I continually said, you know, this guy isn't someone that's going to be good. He's good now. He's the most mature rookie I've ever been around. He approaches the game, he loves to learn. And so he just, he exudes such a quiet confidence. He's not out there a rah rah guy, but we all know how good he is and how much confidence we have in him. And so he doesn't need to say anything.
- [13:28]
Matt Hasselbeck
Nobody has delivered in the D.C. area on this level of promise in years. This is a candidate we can all get behind. A bipartisan quarterback. Yes. We're all in on Jaden Daniels and he and I both approve this message. This kid is magic. You're watching Magic. I'm not even sure if he's Lamar Jackson Lite. It's like I see all the same qualities. I mean, I'm watching Pennix last night and I think Penix is going to be exceptional. And Jaden Daniel shrinks him. I mean that, that's how good this kid is. And all the, all the boxes, no ego, selfless, athletic, accurate, hard working, foxhole guy. J. Mac, I grew up in Washington D.C. they used to have a 30 year wait list on season tickets and then an owner came in and ruined it. All the goodwill, that reservoir of goodwill, lost it. You can walk up and buy a ticket to any game. Good luck getting season tickets going forward with the Commanders. This kid is Broadway.
- [14:41]
Steve Covino
Yeah, him and Cliff Kingsbury working some magic in Washington. That offense, unbelievable. I mean, listen, I thought you were going to go the opposite way and take some shots at Raheem Morris for botching that game so badly.
- [14:53]
Matt Hasselbeck
I've come to terms with coaches in the NFL. Is anybody, now that Belichick is retired, is anybody good with clock management? Zach Taylor drove me nuts.
- [15:04]
Steve Covino
Oh, gosh, don't start.
- [15:05]
Matt Hasselbeck
Raheem Morris drove me nuts. But I, but I, I've come to the conclusion that nobody's great at it.
- [15:11]
Steve Covino
Does Raheem Morris think you can take timeouts home? Like after the game? You could just bring them home, wrap them up, put him on.
- [15:16]
Matt Hasselbeck
We both had Atlanta, so it was. I just, I know.
- [15:22]
Steve Covino
I like you being positive. Jaden Daniels was exceptional.
- [15:25]
Matt Hasselbeck
Oh, the kids just.
- [15:26]
Steve Covino
He's spectacular. We need, you need to do a new top 10 quarterback list.
- [15:30]
Matt Hasselbeck
He's.
- [15:31]
Steve Covino
How's he not.
- [15:31]
Matt Hasselbeck
I know. It's one of these. Well, you know how sometimes people say, hey, you're, you're confirmation bias. Yeah. I thought he was going to be really good. Or it's recency bias, folks. When you get to the end of an NFL season and Sam Darnold's been great for 14 weeks or 13 of the 17, that's not really recency buys. He's having a great year. And when you watch Jaden Daniels, I can argue his best month was September. Remember, in September, we're like, whoa, okay, this can't last. And then he had your usual problem and now he's restarted it in the last three to four weeks.
- [16:05]
Steve Covino
That rib injury seems like he's past that. There was the hiccup of like three weeks.
- [16:09]
Matt Hasselbeck
He does take some shots.
- [16:11]
Steve Covino
He did take a big shot at the goal line. Yeah. 127 yards on the ground. I mean, they locked up McLaurin, right? He had one catch for five yards. And Jaden Daniels, like, okay, I'll just do this myself.
- [16:21]
Matt Hasselbeck
Atlanta should have won that game and controlled big portions. The only reason they didn't is Jaden Daniels. I mean, Atlanta controlled the first half. Atlanta should have called timeouts and gotten the field goal. Jaden Daniels is the only reason you win again. A great quarterback is an eraser. Every team has issues. An average quarterback is a multiplier. Little things become big pains in the. You know what? This kid just erased a really bad first half where Atlanta controlled it. Don't forget calling right. Calling wrong. Top of next hour. Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd, weekdays at noon Eastern, 9am Pacific, on Fox Sports Radio, FS1 and the iHeartRadio app.

Matt Hasselbeck
Both are now vocally publicly denouncing the team. Garrett has leaked it, or somebody has that he didn't want to play with Aaron. That's a problem. So, and I've said this before, I think Aaron's smart, he's interesting, he's complex and we've all got issues, but he leans into being enigmatic. His documentary, which, by the way, he approved, is called Enigma. He approved that. That's not what quarterbacks want to be. You can be an enigma. Don't double down on it, okay? Don't lean into it. You're a leader. And this is what I've said for years. When the going gets tough, Aaron tends to distance himself from it, give you some sort of word salad throughout the week, like a politician, and to sort of project that he is above it and he'll solve it. And hey, this stuff is tough. Let me tell you how this works. But he's not the solution to it. I'm not saying Aaron's the only problem, but he was never the solution to the jets dysfunction. It's not his personality. I've said this for years. He is a Baylor, not a baller. He's not a foxhole guy. He's just gifted and smart and talented and kind of interesting. And I don't care where he stands on vaccines. I really don't. But this jets organization needs a culture changing coach and an infusion of leadership at quarterback. Not just talent, but they're trapped because he is talented. Talented. He played well until yesterday. But great leaders don't lean into being difficult. They don't lean into being an enigma. That's his documentary and he approved that message. And that's my issue. This team needs somebody to put out fires. No word salad, step forward, definitive opinions, put in the extra time in the offseason. And at this point, that's just not what Aaron is. But he's the best in a bad quarterback draft class. And Sam Darnold, I can't believe the Vikings would let him hit the market. My guess is get a coach. He's your quarterback. And here he was after.
- [25:27]
Lavar Arrington
It's kind of like the season just.
- [25:28]
Matt Hasselbeck
Got away from us, that too many.
- [25:29]
Lavar Arrington
Games got away from us. This game got away from us. You know, we're moving the ball well.
- [25:33]
Matt Hasselbeck
And then we just hit a wall.
- [25:34]
Lavar Arrington
And that's kind of in the season.
- [25:36]
Matt Hasselbeck
Every time I criticize Aaron, I make sure to add compliments. I've said this with Baker Mayfield. I thought Tampa should have signed Baker Mayfield. I thought he was a great pick and I think Aaron's the best option for them. But we got like 10, 15 years of this stuff and I've been on it from very early on is that when the going gets tough in the NFL and it always does, even for Mahomes, their offensive line, they're receiving core, it's constantly being reworked. Once you pay a quarterback, he tends to distance himself, be above it, and then project that he could be the solution if other people can step up and help him. That's not leadership, that's enigma, the documentary, which again, you tend to lean into. J. Mac with the news. No, no, no, turn on the news. This is the Herd line news from.
- [26:31]
Steve Covino
One New York team to the other. Let's go to the New York Giants, who ended their 10 game losing streak with a rousing win over the Colts. But in the end they kind of lost. Colin they dropped from first to fourth in the draft order. Just a stunning game. I mean, Indianapolis Colts defense looked, I mean, goodness gracious, could not stop Drew Locke.
- [26:52]
Matt Hasselbeck
They control this football game. Now. Some of it is the Colts aren't very good on the back end. Some of it's coaching bad, tackling in the wrong place often. So again, I think the Colts are one of those teams. If you had Jaden Daniels with the Colts, it would solve a lot of these issues. Yeah, but they're not good enough at quarterback. So therefore it multiplies their problems.
- [27:11]
Steve Covino
It's in a late scratch. Sounds like he may not even play this week. Joe Flacco came in and was in. But the big story is the New York Giants were in line to take Cam Ward or Shadour Sanders. They dropped the four. So the new orders on the screen, Patriots at one.
- [27:25]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah.
- [27:25]
Steve Covino
Tennessee Titans at two. Cleveland Browns at three. And then the Giants at four. Tennessee and Cleveland need quarterbacks. Colin?
- [27:33]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah, a lot of people are suggesting Mike vrabel and Josh McDaniels go to New England, save Drake May, trade down that first pick or get a Travis Hunter. But there's. I can tell you everybody's freaking out in Boston. Let me tell you something. Here's the good news. You have your quarterback. Drake May is going to be really good. You may not have the Coach but for most bad teams in this league and there's about eight to 10 bad teams. If I said well you got your future quarterback and you got the number one pick that is the best place you can be in as one of the eight to 10 bad teams in this league. You have a really good quarterback and you can do whatever you want with that number one pick. I would trade it down and get a boatload of picks. But all is not lost. Now I don't know about Gerard Mayo.
- [28:22]
Steve Covino
I forgot to Saturday the Patriots got embarrassed by the Colt by the Chargers. I'm sorry in New England I mean that game was blowout city.
- [28:31]
Matt Hasselbeck
But the week before they went to Buffalo out played and arguably out coached the Bills. Remember Dan Campbell was 3 and 13 first year in Detroit and 1 and 6 the beginning of the second year. So just one week ago I thought Mayo and Drake may outplayed and out coach Buffalo in Buffalo.
- [28:49]
Steve Covino
So Vrabel and McDaniels to New England to replace. That's.
- [28:55]
Matt Hasselbeck
That's what you're hearing.
- [28:56]
Steve Covino
I hadn't heard that.
- [28:57]
Matt Hasselbeck
That's. So here's my take.
- [28:58]
Lauren Bright Pacheco
Good stuff.
- [28:59]
Matt Hasselbeck
So Vrabel has a good relationship with Robert Kraft and because nobody truly trusts the Bears front office and ownership or the jets ownership that New England may look like a bad job but you have your quarterback, a non meddling owner and the number one pick. So New England. Now look, in my opinion right now this morning I'd argue if it was open New England could be the best job. Kraft Drake may number one pick. You could do a lot worse. Yeah, it's a start over franchise.
- [29:32]
Steve Covino
They don't have a lot else. Now listen, let me nip this whole trade in the bud. This idea that the Patriots could just trade down Colin. I don't see anyone trading up to number one. And the Bryce Young trade is wide. You remember they gave up DJ Moore and future picks the there was nothing left.
- [29:49]
Matt Hasselbeck
Remember though do that and you really.
- [29:51]
Steve Covino
Just sacrifice the future.
- [29:52]
Matt Hasselbeck
But Caleb Williams was considered a, a transformational talent. Shadour Sanders is considered a starting NFL quarterback and promising. But this is not a Trevor Lawrence or a Caleb or a Luck where you're like well you're going to give up four number ones.
- [30:08]
Steve Covino
Yeah. I don't think you trade up for Cam Ward, right? I. I don't think that's the case. I think Cam Ward's probably in line to go to Tennessee now.
- [30:15]
Matt Hasselbeck
I think you're right.
- [30:16]
Steve Covino
Now I think you're right Question becomes Cleveland and Deshawn Watson. You Saw they restructured his deal over the weekend. They left DTR in the game yesterday. When he is. I mean, there's a lot of stats to say he's one of the worst quarterbacks this century in the NFL. Okay, is there where Cleveland takes Shadour, has him sit for a year behind Deshaun Watson. But would Dion say, you're not going to Cleveland?
- [30:40]
Matt Hasselbeck
What is the only way if you have a horrible quarterback contract to get out of it drafted? You land a starting quarterback. Denver. Oh, the Russell Wilson deal for two years. Dead cat money. You're not paying Bonicks anything. So I. If the Patriots don't move, I think they'll probably take Mason Graham, the defensive tackle. I would. Or Travis Hunter. I think the Titans get a quarterback. And I. If I ran Cleveland, I would take a quarterback.
- [31:06]
Steve Covino
I don't know that Travis Hunter fits the Mike Vull mold of like.
- [31:10]
Matt Hasselbeck
Well, he's an unbelievably talented A1 overall. Come on. Again, I think New England would trade out, but I don't know if these quarterbacks are good enough to give up multiple ones and twos. I don't, I don't know if they are.
- [31:23]
Steve Covino
My jets, you see lingering there at 7. We, we'll. We'll get to them. Don't worry. The Philadelphia Eagles, Colin, how about their nice win over the Cowboys yesterday? So I'm watching this obviously, Eagles and no sweat cover and it's the fourth quarter of a 30 point game and they're feeding Saquon Barkley. Yeah, you know, not a huge fan of that. However, Saquon became just the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Here's Saquon and the accomplishment and the chase of Eric Dickerson's regular season mark.
- [31:53]
Lavar Arrington
To, you know, reach a milestone and put myself up there with eight other backs that I respect and, you know, some of them I grew up watching definitely means a lot. If, you know, his mindset is, you know, we'll go out there and try it and I'll go out there and try it. But his mindset is let's rest and get ready for, you know, this run, then I'm all for that too. And you know, I'm not just saying that because a camera's in my face or a mic's in my face. I really mean that. I came here to do something special and obviously breaking a record special, but I want, I want to be part of. I want a banner up there. And I think we all do.
- [32:26]
Matt Hasselbeck
Listen, record or not, he and Christian McCaffrey, when Christian's healthy, they're the two best backs in the league. I mean, he just. Listen, I know everybody gets caught up in records. You don't need records to validate what a good guy this guy is, what a great player he is, and how he's elevated everything. We don't even like the coach. And, And. And we're not even sure if Jalen is dependable in the pocket in big spots. And they had good offensive and defensive lines last year. Saquon, it's just amazing to me. Can you imagine? It's just crazy to me that you would let Saquon go if you're the Giants to your arch rivals who already are stacked. I mean, it's not like they gave you. It was a massive trade. It's just you walked across the street. Oh. Oh. It's an all timer. It's an all timer.
- [33:15]
Steve Covino
Here's my thing. So you watched the game and Kenny Pickett was in for Jalen Hurts.
- [33:19]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah.
- [33:19]
Steve Covino
Thanks. For Jalen Hurts missing the fantasy football championship that I needed badly. Anyways, so Kenny Pickett takes a shot inside the 20. I think Micah Parsons hit him. Kenny Pickett instantly is like, I'll just break a rib. What the heck? Leaves the game out. I'm just telling you. Saquon Barkley had 31 carries.
- [33:36]
Matt Hasselbeck
Colin, that's. That's a lot. That's like 1978 NFL football.
- [33:40]
Steve Covino
They're not getting a buy. Okay. Almost impossible to get right. I mean, they like 17 things to happen.
- [33:46]
Matt Hasselbeck
I.
- [33:47]
Steve Covino
Is Dick. Is he going to really chase the.
- [33:49]
Matt Hasselbeck
Record in week 18, the two most interesting teams in the playoffs? I'm not saying best interesting. Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. There's a ton of pressure. And Philadelphia. I mean, think about this. Like, if Buffalo lost early and they won't, but if they did. Sean McDermott Heat. What if Philadelphia can't get to the conference championship?
- [34:11]
Steve Covino
I. I think Sirianni's in trouble. I. I just. This idea that, like, regular season records mean anything. Pop quiz.
- [34:20]
Colin Cowherd
Who.
- [34:21]
Steve Covino
Who's the regular season record for quarterback passing yards in a season? No. Who knows?
- [34:26]
Matt Hasselbeck
Who cares? That's baseball.
- [34:27]
Steve Covino
That stuff is forgotten. Yeah, baseball. Exactly. Wide receiver record.
- [34:30]
Matt Hasselbeck
I don't know.
- [34:31]
Steve Covino
Interception record. It doesn't matter. Saquon, you had an amazing season.
- [34:34]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah.
- [34:34]
Steve Covino
Go win the Super Bowl.
- [34:35]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah.
- [34:35]
Steve Covino
This is your shot.
- [34:36]
Matt Hasselbeck
I didn't love it either. I didn't.
- [34:38]
Steve Covino
It's an Eric Dickerson record. You know, we work with Dickerson. Nice guy.
- [34:41]
Matt Hasselbeck
I like him.
- [34:42]
Steve Covino
If you get the record Wonderful. If not, no, nobody cares. Eagles just man. And let's wrap up Colin with the NBA big trade yesterday.
- [34:50]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah.
- [34:50]
Steve Covino
The Lakers moving on from DLO M. Angelo Russell shipped to the Brooklyn Nets again in a package for. Wait for it. Dorian Finney Smith.
- [35:01]
Matt Hasselbeck
Excellent defender.
- [35:02]
Steve Covino
Oh he's so good.
- [35:03]
Matt Hasselbeck
Excellent defender.
- [35:04]
Steve Covino
Jake Milton gets some buckets. Apparently the Nets had an offer from Memphis for a protected one but they preferred the Lakers three second round picks. I saw a stat. The Nets have 16 second round picks.
- [35:16]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah.
- [35:16]
Steve Covino
Over the next seven years one or two like OKC.
- [35:20]
Lavar Arrington
Yeah.
- [35:21]
Matt Hasselbeck
He makes him a bit Russell. The Lakers are a better defensive team today.
- [35:24]
Steve Covino
100. It's not even close. This is the fifth time he's been traded in seven and a half seasons. Like at that at some point should be a wake up call to DLO like bro, try give an effort defensively.
- [35:34]
Matt Hasselbeck
I, I just, I've never been. I, I love that line.
- [35:37]
Steve Covino
Milo me, Angela, me Angelo Russell.
- [35:40]
Matt Hasselbeck
I just. Golden State had him in their dynasty for about an hour. Remember that? They had him and they're like no, it doesn't work.
- [35:45]
Steve Covino
Give it a shot.
- [35:46]
Lavar Arrington
No.
- [35:47]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah. Because he's got talent. There's no disputing the town.
- [35:49]
Steve Covino
So of course the Internet went and looked for JJ Reddick comments on Dorian Finney Smith and way back In May of 2022 he Reddick tweeted something like what a great player. How can you not love him that night? Dorian Finney Smith at eight three pointers. This is a perfect stretch.
- [36:04]
Matt Hasselbeck
He's a corner three guy.
- [36:06]
Steve Covino
Oh he's.
- [36:06]
Matt Hasselbeck
He's perfect.
- [36:07]
Steve Covino
Next Anthony Davis.
- [36:08]
Matt Hasselbeck
Yeah. And because Dalton connect your favorite rookie doesn't defend when you have him on the court. You have to have somebody that does defend at a high level and that's him.
- [36:17]
Steve Covino
Plus he hits corner message to Rui Hachimura. Bro, you better defend or you're going to lose your spot.
- [36:21]
Matt Hasselbeck
He's not.
- [36:22]
Steve Covino
We also have to give LeBron a shout out. He turns 40 today. Joining us at 40 years of age, LeBron James. Very exciting. Greatest player.
- [36:30]
Matt Hasselbeck
Happy birthday to LeBron James.
- [36:31]
Steve Covino
Shout out to your book. We should show the video of you hanging out with LeBron at that cabana.
- [36:35]
Matt Hasselbeck
Was hanging out kind of strong. I think bumping into him is more than hanging out with you weren't shooting dice with him or nobody was very friendly. He's always I, I've a couple times. He's always classy, always, always nice.
- [36:47]
Steve Covino
I have yet to officially meet the king and congratulate him on his amazing.
- [36:52]
Matt Hasselbeck
Career, but he's had an amazing life. An amazing American life.
- [36:55]
Steve Covino
Great father to the kids, great husband.
- [36:57]
Matt Hasselbeck
To the white people. Get all political. He's had an amazing American life and he has been a great fan face of the league. He got political. People don't like it. But folks, everybody at work in every office in America has a political opinion. If a basketball player does, I can be. I'm fine with it.
- [37:13]
Steve Covino
Well said.
- [37:14]
Matt Hasselbeck
Jay Mack with the news. Well, that's the news.
- [37:17]
Lauren Bright Pacheco
And thanks for stopping by the herd.
- [37:19]
Matt Hasselbeck
Law J. Mack is stumping for candidates. Every time down the hallway I put up with it. So I gotta say this about Joe Burrow. He can still make the playoffs, which is insane, how talented he is. And I just think we, we need to say, okay, what you're watching is what a franchise quarterback is. Their defense is awful. 29th. Their O line is 30th. They're the cheapest owner in the sport. Arguably they have major clock management issues at head coach. In, in the overtime, they tried to briefly take the ball out of his hands and just kick a chip shot. Field goal doink. That didn't work. They're 29th in rushing, O line, run game, defense, none of it. And he's got this team potentially in the playoffs. Denver's got a better roster. Denver's got a real defense. He shredded it. He shreds everybody. So this is a 314 team without Joe Burrow. And you know what it's reminding me, speaking of LeBron James 40th birthday. It reminds me of LeBron in Cleveland the first time where he's there for seven years and finally he goes to like the Olympics. And LeBron's like, oh, this is what it's like to play with really good players. I remember LeBron in Cleveland. And by the way, Burrow got to a Super bowl and lost. LeBron got to a finals and got run out of the building. Four straight by San Antonio. And then LeBron finally realized ownership, front office, I'm wasting my time here. And LeBron felt bad. He eventually came back. But I mean folks, what Joe Burrow is doing right now, I think there are five quarterbacks in the NFL. Five quarterbacks in the NFL that have separated from everybody else. I think it's Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Lamar and Patrick Mahomes. And I like a lot of other quarterbacks, but we're not going to pay much attention to Joe Burrow. The other four Mahomes, Lamar, Justin and Allen have support, coaching support, a decent O line. Good God. Justin Herbert now has Harbaugh two Big time tackles. Joe Burrow's running for his life. No run game can only win in a shootout. I mean, at least Zach Taylor, the head coach, appreciates it. I don't know that anybody can stand on a field and watch Joe Burrow and say he's not the best player in the world. The clearest thing I can say is I would not trade Joe Burrow for any player in the universe. And so to me, that's, that's MVP to me. I don't want to hear that your left tackle got hurt or that you're on your third running back or your secondary is not good. Nothing around Burrow is good. Nothing. Run game, defense. I don't think Zach Taylor's awful. The Internet disagrees with me. I think Zach Taylor's got some promise. I think everybody you're working for an ownership group that just doesn't make moves. Moves. A front office that's reluctant, reticent to take any swings. They're the opposite essentially of Philadelphia. They take no swings. Sometimes Philadelphia over swings, they take none. But what Burrow's doing is insane. I don't want to hear about your if quarterback. Well, if McCaffrey was available, this guy's got nothing except two really good receivers and one of them won't be here next year because they won't pay for him. This, this, this is what a franchise quarterback is, not elevating what he already has, hiding what he doesn't, which is everything. Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd, weekdays at noon Eastern, 9am Pacific.

Matt Hasselbeck
Give me izzo. Okay so you know, here's some great advice somebody once gave me. Sometimes you just got to get out of your own way. Jim Harbaugh was offered a head coaching job by One Team. One Team. Jim Harbaugh is like that movie director Christopher Nolan. If you let him direct your movie, you'll have a hit. It always works. And quickly. Jim Harbaugh wanted the Bears job. Kevin Warren, the president. He and Jim don't get along. He didn't get an interview. It's amazing to me. Yes, like Christopher Nolan, you'll have to surrender some control and increase the budget a little. But you'll be great immediately. In fact, he is now the first coach in the super bowl era to take over two losing teams the first year make the playoffs. I always thought Bill Parcells was the greatest turnaround coach ever. Harbaugh just surpassed him. And Parcels is a top five coach in my life. But what I'm really happy about is Justin Herbert who for years was like the A plus student that had a really bad teacher or the excellent employee with really bad bosses. And then he got Jim Harbaugh and now he's putting up numbers. I saw one this week go weekend where he's literally now getting into an Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady class. Herbert has 400 plus pass attempts and three or fewer interceptions. It is now one of the three greatest, most efficient seasons ever for a quarterback. That's insane. And you know, it's funny about. I want you to think about this for a second. There's a lot of things that matter in coaching, but one of them is squeezing every bit of juice you can out of the roster. So when Harbaugh won a Natty at Michigan, he only had two five star players, two five star recruits. The Alabama team he beat had 18. The Georgia team that won the Natty the year before had 15. He had two. In fact if you look at composite recruiting rankings, Michigan had the lowest for a national championship in forever. And this Charger team needs another running back in the draft, needs another tight end in the draft, needs another receiver or two in the draft. Lad McConkey, I love him. He's more of a 1A or a 2, not a 1. They're doing it. They're dropping 40 this weekend, and they're kind of in an offensive rebuild. They've got good offensive tackles and could mostly use help everywhere else on offense, an interior alignment, another running back, another tight end and a couple of receivers. Defense is fine. Not great, but fine. He's made it great, but no coach ever has ever squeezed more juice out of his roster, whether it's the Niners, Stanford, Michigan or here with the Chargers. And here's Justin Herbert on why the team loves him.
- [48:38]
Lavar Arrington
He's been everything. You know, those guys in that lock and respect him so much, and they just want to make right by him and make him proud, you know, the way he cares about, you know, this team, all the individuals as well. He's a competitor and he wants to win no matter what it is. And it definitely shows. And it's the way that everyone fights for him, wants to play for him and respects him.
- [48:56]
Matt Hasselbeck
It is interesting, though. Everybody knows you hire Jim Harbaugh, college or pro. In fact, Jimmy Johnson, to me, is the only coach in the history of American football that was an A plus plus college coach and an A plus plus NFL coach. Harbaugh is the other one. I don't need a Super bowl to prove it. You know what I mean? Like, I. We all know Harbaugh's great, but I mean, nothing against Belichick, who stayed in New England forever with Brady, and nothing against Saban, who stayed in Bama forever. But to me, it's always been a much bigger lift. Urban, Meyer, Parcells, Harbaugh. To go to new places and immediately take bad to a playoff team. And this is in the afc. This is in the division with Mahomes twice a year. He's not doing this in the NFC south or the AFC South. So right now, the AFC playoff picture. Chiefs, Bills, Texans, Ravens, Steelers, Chargers in Cincinnati's hanging on by a thread. Baltimore's got a much better roster than Cincinnati, and Bo Nix is fine. It's funny. Bo Nix was 24, 31 and played fine. Next to Burrow, he just looked like a nothing burger, right? Tells you how great Joe Burrow is. So Harbaugh is just. It's. I say this, I root for Every quarterback to make it. I don't root against any of these kids. But especially it's funny if you watch Justin Herbert's career. So he was at Oregon but because they didn't have good backups, Mario Cristobal didn't let him run until the Rose Bowl. And then everybody went oh my God, Justin Herbert. J. Mac and I have talked about this. You watch the Rose bowl against Wisconsin and you're like oh my God, this guy can run too. And here and with the Chargers this is why we implore Dean Spanos just spend whatever it costs to get hard off. It costs 20 million a year. Whatever you do not want to go to bed at night having never gotten Justin Herbert a great coach. He is just an all time kid and I just couldn't be happier for him. It now, now how about this J. Mac of all the playoff teams because I do believe the Chargers have like four needs on offense alone. I like their kicking, I like their defense, I like their tackles. And Herbert, are they the best team in the playoffs that can't win the Super Bowl?
- [51:30]
Steve Covino
Wait, why can't they win the Super Bowl?
- [51:33]
Matt Hasselbeck
They can but it's Buffalo, Baltimore probably.
- [51:37]
Steve Covino
Not have to gonna go.
- [51:38]
Matt Hasselbeck
They probably have the fifth best roster of the seven playoff teams in the afc.
- [51:43]
Steve Covino
So I'll, I'll.
- [51:44]
Matt Hasselbeck
Philadelphia or Detroit's roster.
- [51:46]
Steve Covino
Right. I'll agree with you that the top three in the AFC see are are stacked. However the path to the super bowl this year I think is going to matter more than ever because there's so many bad teams in the league that aren't in the playoffs. And I feel like every team is kind of like if the Bengals get in, let's say the Bengals are seven.
- [52:03]
Matt Hasselbeck
Can you imagine a Buffalo first weekend? Well first of all you're terrified if you're Buffalo.
- [52:08]
Steve Covino
Man I got to go.
- [52:09]
Matt Hasselbeck
Can you imagine Burrow goes to Buffalo first weekend and Cincinnati's got no pressure.
- [52:14]
Steve Covino
They already won there once in the playoffs. I think it was 27, 10 was the final.
- [52:18]
Matt Hasselbeck
And how tight would Buffalo be?
- [52:20]
Steve Covino
Well that's not great for Buffalo but I also don't think Kansas City is indestructible. I know 15 and 1 and blah blah blah.
- [52:27]
Matt Hasselbeck
I will say this arrest coming up. We I said this before the year. I think we both said it. The the Chargers are the Chiefs A plus coach and quarterback. Really nice defensive pieces. Get a rush great. Got a great player in the secondary. Both can use a little help skill people. It's kind of a work in progress. I think the Chargers are a slightly less version. And by the way, both great head coaches, both great defensive coordinators, both get great coaches, both need more weapons. It's a work in progress. The Chargers had to play the Chiefs again. They match up very well with Kansas City.
- [53:04]

Look at this. I didn't even realize that Pittsburgh's sliding so much. So if the Bengals beat the Steelers, Pittsburgh's 10 and 7. If the Chargers win their final game, they would be 11 and 6. They would then leapfrog Pittsburgh to 5 and then play Houston. I'd rather play Houston than Baltimore, wouldn't you?
