Most of the games are going to be really exciting. New, we’ll see some veterans going at each other and some new people that never been to the playoffs for the first time favorited or maybe not favorited. And to to iron this out. We got Kyle Borden straight from New York City. Welcome back to the sports cast. Thank you. Kylie Borden 2020 divisional playoffs. This weekend sounds pretty exciting. Lot of intriguing matches. Let’s start off with the Ravens versus the Houston Texans. No sorry, the Tennessee Titans. Of course Tennessee Titans come are coming out from a big win against the Patriots. Can this momentum carry them and neutralize the Baltimore Ravens?
Caillou Borden
I think it’s gonna be hard I think the watch Murray is obviously a lot better i think i think the play the game last week for me to tie ins when he stopped living in the bowline I think that was very important play. It could have been a two score game which would have made obviously harder for Ryan to enter a comeback. They were able to hold himself field I think that was the play the game a lot of things about how the type of weapons that Braden have, but let’s remember it like we got to give credit a lot of credit to the Tennessee Titans. The same came with the game plan. They are Ryan only has 72 passes. But we had to make girls and 38 he was able to make those throws. Derrick Henry had a hell of a game last game. He will it’s gonna be a lot tougher to run against a ravens team which is gonna be a lot tougher to comment and running. It’s a ravens team, but I’m not sure that they would be able to stop Lamar Jackson. I think it’s gonna be very, very close. But Lamar Jackson time to sensational Yeah, I think he’s probably know he’s going to win the NBA this year. So it’s gonna be more tough from a game plan to stop them because Tom Brady’s not a mobile quarterback, so I think it’s going to be more tougher to stop Lamar Jackson, but I can see them keeping it close. However, I think the Ravens should be able to win this game.
Santiago Leon
announced today. Mark Ingram will be appearing this weekend in the game. I’m not sure he will be starting but he will be active. Do you think they’ll make a
Santiago Leon
huge difference for the Ravens?
Caillou Borden
Yes, I think it does make a huge difference to them because I think that they really rely on in their run first football team Lamar Jackson can make throws but their hosts is predicated on on running the football. So I think that Tim Martin GM playing is definitely a good thing for them. And I’m not shocked at all like, but I’ll be watching I’m not shocked because most players unless they have like a major injury like a broken bone, they can’t play or they can’t walk. Most players seem to play in the playoffs. So I’ll be interested to see what type of what type of shape is he is that game, but that mobility able to run it
Santiago Leon
is the Titans have a chance to win this game where they have to rely a lot on Derrick Henry, or Ryan tannehill.
Caillou Borden
If the Titans win that game, they’re going to have to muck it up like they did cemetery. The Patriots keep it low scoring, they can have to stay within a touchdown, they can’t get in the shootout, that events gonna have to hold on less than 24 points, because I don’t think they were trying to innovate again the shootout and they went it’s going to be their defense got the play really, really well. I think the second key for them is going to be right to can’t turn the ball over. Isn’t that to make a defensive feature despite having only 75 passing yards, he was able to make that throw in 38. He ran the ball. So when he has, so when he was able to make plays when he had to, so I think that’s gonna have to happen. Similar to what I said with Derrick Henry didn’t happen. They’re turning the ball over 30 times can be tough against that ravens front, but they have to get the board there can be over 30 times it has to protect the football. And they have to give Mark Jackson at 24 points. And at no point in the game, can they be down by what seven points because then that’s gonna make a lot tougher for Ryan, Daniel, because then you can’t go 6040 run. If you’re down by two touchdowns, you gotta tend to throw the ball more. So I think that’s going to have to be those things they got to protect the football. Keep them 224 points to the entire game. And then no point be down by one. seven points
Santiago Leon
is a tough, a very tough battle for the Titans. It would be way more tough into the pages of course that we play in Baltimore. This Saturday at 8:15pm is the later game the early game is the Vikings versus the niners the niners that are you know who who who We have won the NFC regular season and Vikings coming out a strong win against the saints. Will this big game be closer than you think?
Caillou Borden
I think Oh yeah. I think this game is going to be very good because I think the Vikings defense the Vikings defense that a tremendous job last week in terms of a deer road rage struggle, and I think we did a lot better job at cat and he got burned one time what the Vikings defense did terrific coming on the road and winning in in New Orleans again as you breathe that a terrific game plan. The Vikings differential I really control that game. They made life a hell of a lot tough for Drew Brees. I was very impressed with Kirk Cousins. He had a bunch of data done. And I was just a terrific thorough coverage. Perfect throw. He really had a great game last week. That was tremendous as well. 94 yards two touchdowns. 20 carries. He was terrific. They Neil hunter and Joseph they really get out there and after like the you can’t really We’ve won the Vikings in that game. I think it’s going to be a defensive battle. The 49 likes to run a football, then I think the Vikings really have a chance to win this game coming into one’s win that game. And I feel proud and Perkins to keep some of that going. And they can keep this out. So a lot of you said that they use three wide receivers, which they haven’t been doing rugby season, but they were able to use it last week against the saints when that game for Perkins was huge. If he can sort of replicate that magically had last week. They definitely have a chance to win this game. Grace was a lot of inexperience as a quarterback that’s also gonna be a factor Kyle Shanahan hasn’t coached in the class so that’s gonna be a factor. Mike Zimmer has been there that coming up that win in New Orleans that think that was really huge to them. A lot of people doubt Kirk Cousins and some religious lot of Washington and some voices for Washington with the Monday night struggles and the Primetime struggles and some wasn’t Bowling Green Bay Athletic Dallas is what he could have done more in terms of NFC north and divisionals on the line. He could have done more in that game, but some verses fault but he was able to rise to the game if kirklands didn’t play well. dalvin cook and that front seven to continue to get after it. That right in front seven is really good and they were really good against to breach last week.
Santiago Leon
They did play this season already. Minnesota beat them 24 to 16 but it was in Minneapolis this time around be at Levi stadium would be the first game of the weekend. But what sounds like you’re sounding like like the like the Vikings pulled this off?
Caillou Borden
Yeah, I think they got I think last year I think I think especially how is Kurt cousins thinking change the play? Well, I think he made a bunch of throws last week Adam dealin in overtime about this at the end of the play was often said I didn’t think it was offensive inexperienced. I thought st stands out a gripe last year when it was to the Rams thousand degrees pricing differences everybody knows but I feel like I smell like champagne got outcoached I might get a couple of couple of questionable play quality decisions. Time to manage. encrypt on the outplayed relaxing In New Orleans did extremely tough and I feel like if he can bounce off that and that bike in front of a Greek restaurant and we got married Jimmy drop never Jimmy drop has never started a playoff game so that’s also experience is also gonna be a factor in that. I think if kirkenes can follow that up in the Vikings they can keep I want I wouldn’t take them to win the game as it rose three game winning the game.
Santiago Leon
Yeah something to definitely look at. It’ll be a pretty exciting game for for the Vikings and the niners Niners first time first playoff appearance, I believe in 15 years or so I can remember the last time Vikings have been around a little bit longer. Kirk Cousins has some playoff experience. He’s going up against his old offensive coordinator, Coach Shanahan so it’s going to be an interesting You know, coming back to and play against his old offensive coordinator next game Sunday the first game of Sunday is the Chiefs versus the Texans. The Texans have beaten the Chiefs before in Kansas City. How like cut it like how do you see this matchup? Kinda
Caillou Borden
like this here, and I’d say like, like a second. Like coaches are trying to lose the game like the Texans have been asked for now 34 days or half time I don’t like that they go so slow start. I think that there you want to rely on a franchise quarterback a lot but I think they’re to watch independent. I don’t like that. I think their offensive line is inconsistent even though Washington does sometimes hold on to block too long. I don’t like their in game coaching as well. Like they fall behind a lot. And the reason it’s horsy has struggled and applause I think Kansas City at home there defense has been playing a lot better since week 14. I like Kansas. They actually like a couple of touchdowns here. And I think that coupled with I think Josh Allen’s inexperienced got the best of them in the second half that thing. I thought he got a tremendous start. I feel like if if the Kansas City Chiefs get off to a fast start early and the Texans fall behind, they’re not getting ready to take advantage of patching homes in eastern assess their home with all the weapons, Andy Reid. I don’t feel like they’ll be as equipped. I feel like they got back in the game because of Josh Allen Turner. And I don’t think that they will be able to do that equate that to basketball that didn’t i didn’t catch him always has more success, along with can see differences been playing well, to the latter part of the season. And I think Kansas City definitely gets it done. And I think Andy Reid, Andy Reid has a really good gene with the difference. Well, well, any re I think, Andrew I think this is Andy Reid’s wrong to like, play the Ravens next week. And in the AFC Championship. I think both teams look to get it done because Andy read about some point he needs to get to the Super Bowl at some point. Nice to like conquer the hill so I think what the difference playing better off the by I think and you read enough come off rush. And I think if they fall behind like they did last against the two bills I could see them take a long day
Santiago Leon
for the Texas to have a chance you’ll you’ll have to see more from Watson
Caillou Borden
right now put it put a second chance I need to see better in game game plan from Bill O’Brien also need to see their defense play a lot better. I need to see them get off to a better start in the first half. Because what happens when I’m laughing as a lab instead of laughing and Josh Allen, they’re not going to be able to count on touching on that inexperienced that phone would add Josh Allen thing and him throwing a lateral backwards at the end of the fourth quarter. That not going to work back homes and Andy Reid and those weapons that they haven’t can see if you get also struggling start in Kansas City like they did and not going to first half of that game. You’re not going to come back to winning a second homes like you did, Josh. That’s not going to have success for you.
Santiago Leon
So did it definitely look at it’ll be a big game do you think it’ll be closer you think it’ll be a good margin for Kansas City?
Caillou Borden
No, I think it’s gonna be a good margin at return off of by really really good and you’re really coming off a buys really really good. I think he’s got to get to a halt and this is what the defense plan better late with a different plan better of late and achieved really shrinking at the right moment. I think they definitely go win by teaching especially especially in this in a two in the two wins that bill O’Brien’s one or buffer is correct is the Connor cook about the quarterback and he’s the Josh Allen there jot down think I’d like to build different play really well enough to win that game. And Josh Allen, you know, the moment really got too big for him in the first half in the second half. Like he played really, really well in the first half. But the moment just got too big for him and I think he has a really, really good future. But I even saw in the regular season game against the Patriots. There was a threat he could have made on first and go he overthrew him, and he took a sack he took to question was set for life. Glad game he took one third and goal of forefront 27 with three timeouts. The bills coaches decided to go for it when they could have punted the ball. I feel like that was not good in game. I don’t think that they without experienced coach and Andy Reid and packing homes I don’t think that the sessions will arrive at a rely on inexperienced and I’ve definitely seen the Chiefs winning by two touchdowns
Santiago Leon
that game will be a thrill 5pm this Sunday second game of that day. The game that has the most experienced quarterback said no that bids the playoffs before Seahawks was Packers. Aaron Rodgers vs Russell Wilson tyloo what’s gonna happen in Green Bay.
Caillou Borden
I really like this game because the packers and it’s not team so I think the Packers win this game. I think a lot of them made of all the backers not having a bye and I think a lot of made about the Packers offensive struggles this year. And I think four points per game standpoint. The packers are like similar to last year. They’re a little worse on down but I think the fact is running game is very the fact that get more pressure and I think we’re gonna have to see more from that look. Well I want to be interested to see how he performs in his first playoff game at home. greenways really, really good at Well, I’ll be interested to see how I think Green Bay wins this game. I think Green Bay in 2014 NFC Championship day I think it’s a chance to to get some revenge of that. I think they Boston off like a the guy brand bossing so the block and say went for the ball. And he fumbled the ball. We lost the ncrc game I didn’t Green Bay looks too dangerous. The only time that they have had his last questions that Aaron Rodgers can add a championship to his resume. What do you be better? I think he would be better off I think Green Bay definitely wins this game. I think it’s close. Green Bay doesn’t blow anyone out. Seattle doesn’t blow anyone out. I think this game is close to Hall of Fame quarterback. I think this game is called Seattle. Seattle is still a lot of injuries. And I think Green Bay should definitely see that with you. home. What a first year coach. I think Green Bay should definitely win this one at home. Would you give all the
Santiago Leon
benefit of the doubt? For Russell Wilson?
Caillou Borden
No, I think I think a lot of like I said like the NFC like, like I started coming in regular season when I said like the NFC stat like I could see the Vikings win at the saints. And they did. And he was 16 when I think and they did. I could also I could see I could see teams in the NFC the lower she’s winning because that’s just how competitive it’s been all year in the NFC. So I can definitely see what the NFC teams definitely winning these lower seats.
Santiago Leon
Yeah, definitely the only upset I see from these predictions so far is Minnesota over San Francisco.
Caillou Borden
Yeah, I can definitely see that like you said because you know content is inexperienced grop have never been there. kirklands is coming up with a really good win. And they have with travelers which is there defect and they are running him so
Santiago Leon
quite interesting that match up. Seahawks and Packers at 6:40pm in the cold in the tundra of Green Bay, tough place to play. But the Seahawks, you know, we’ll see what happens. I’m not going to overlook the Seahawks. They usually have some tricks up their sleeve. What do you think about beastmode performance this past weekend?
Caillou Borden
I thought it was fine. He had a touch I thought is fine. I didn’t. I thought I thought I thought it was fine. He acquitted himself well.
Santiago Leon
dk Metcalf Is he a threat?
Caillou Borden
I’ve been really eye on mehcad since a job I think he’s really really good when they get them out go and you could see the vertical threat. I liked them since a lot of people made a lot of you made about about his when he had the draft me so that really Rick? I really liked him since the draft. I think he’s performed really, really well for the entire block I think. I think Russell Wilson him really have a good rapport.
Santiago Leon
Good, good chemistry there and it’s still coaching news. Joe judge who was the special teams coach for the Patriots is going to the New York Giants. This kind of a surprise. What were your thoughts when you first heard it?
Caillou Borden
When I first heard it, I actually didn’t know you was in the process of like learning more about it either. But like in the press? Yeah, in the press conference, I really liked the highest compliment. Normally, the press conferences are scripted, but it was really interesting to see him just talk about his philosophies, not really about what he said, because often I say wins and losses, of course is going to determine how successful he is. Some of the things he said was basic, typical coach speaking. So let’s just go off the like, what I really liked it. Some of the things I liked about him was his his personality, I thought was really confident and something that stood out to me that other coaches haven’t had as much access as him. If he really said he’s not trying to be like Bill Belichick and Nick Saban. That was important to me because most of the time coaches leave New England and they leave Nick Saban, they try to be like Nick Saban and they’re not themselves and that’s what end up working to their downfall because you can’t be Nick Saban Bill Belichick so most of the coaches and and leaving the South try to emulate their personalities, you got to take the philosophies from there and, and apply it to what you’re actually going to do at your new place. Something that was important, to me also is going to be served by wins and losses. So we’ll see what type of you know what type of candidate he is. I think they gotta give them time at the young roster. They gotta, you know, you gotta have a lot of draft picks, I think is going to be determined by time. I think giants fans, if he’s four and 12, he could still be the right hire, you’re gonna have to see over time you need to have your roster. You’re in a tough division. Now you have Mike McCarty, who I thought was a really, really solid hire. You got Ron Rivera and you got Doug Peterson. So the coaches that he’s gonna be coaching against, you got to give it time with the roster. It could also be 12 and 14, you’re not sure he’s a good coach because it can be you know, due to circumstances. So you got Johnson they’re gonna have to give You know time.
Santiago Leon
Of course, Joe judge, as Kyle mentioned, worked under Nick Saban and Bill belcheck, two championship coaches. But we’ll see if things translate on the field for the giants. Matt rule coaching will be the coach of the Panthers Kylo was this a good pick for the Panthers?
Caillou Borden
I thought that I thought I thought it was a really good pick for the Panthers and actually thought my role is going to go to the giants, I thought was a real surprise that he went to the Panthers and I first saw it, and I was like another Miss candidate by the giants. I was I was more surprised by the amount of years that they gave them. It was seven years I was a little I know he had to give more years because they had to pay Baylor and you got to pay bill are fine. I was a little surprised by the money years that he got with with the Panthers. I was more surprised by that. So it’ll be interesting to see who he hires was that in a more interesting question is if you know what the seven figures they have, they keep Cam Newton or they drop in or correct yourself. Not really surprised that he got per se for that job, just smart see what they would do with that pick this up big or it’s going to keep Camden and what kind of staff these coaches hire because you know what kind of staff these coaches hire ultimate determine what type of coach that I mean
Santiago Leon
that is a question should they keep coming up and obviously he’s going to be injury prone as of late to the pick him or get a another quarterback like Jake from?
Caillou Borden
I think I think honestly Personally, I think they might I think person which I think it’s like 19 I think it’s 1920 minutes, I think they should keep them for another year and hope they grow that the quarterback. I think if you take a quarterback, it depends like if you take a quarterback that needs time to grow, I think you should keep him doing or maybe you have a system that role maybe depend on what type of quarterback you take. Maybe the quarterback, the fast learning could pick up the system, you know, immediately or maybe he needs a mentor. I think it depends on who taken that position. If you take a quarterback and he needs time that thing maybe he could bennifer up with Cam Newton or if he’s ready to right away, maybe you can get rid of cam depends how they feel about the quarterback gets taken before him and Joe Burgos number one defense he is there for them. If they feel like the quarterback can learn right away, then you you put them in and they don’t. I can see them keeping Kevin know for another year maybe girl behind cam maybe they don’t want the court maybe Matt world doesn’t want the quarterback to start right away. And I could see because they have a new owner and Dave tempers so depend how patient he is and who’s on the staff. I can see them. Maybe I want to be pacing maybe they want to pay cam new or maybe they just want to go fresh to rebuild the jack McCaffrey there so maybe they feel like the young quarterback and Bennett love McCaffrey and they don’t really need Cam Newton. So
Santiago Leon
now if you tell the audience Matt rule, like obviously came from Baylor Can he translate that victory? I mean, like of his success from Baylor to Carolina.
Caillou Borden
I think I think he’s going to be a tough division. He’s coming with the saints and the Panthers and that st than the Falcons. I think that’s definitely a tough division. I think a good translate, I think some of the qualities I don’t know about if he will be able to translates under seven. So I think some of the quality leads they had temple and Baylor I think some of those like he’s a great leader like he was in the big 12 I think leadership qualities, it’s going to be a lot different relating to men versus children that’s on scholarship. I think that’s a huge difference. Can you relate the guys they’re gonna be guys they’re older and getting you on a roster can have Can you perform a guys again played $25 million, and they can’t play for you. I think that can be a factor. I think his leadership I’ll eat his presence in the locker room. I think some of that he’ll be good at but I think he can translate somebody just that as long as you’re able to relate to one to 53 and the guy see that you can teach things the NFL, and, and and not run like a college like, if not where I’m like, you know? Yeah, I think he can do it if like if he’s relatable to one to 63
Santiago Leon
Well, his first decision be cam or not. That’s probably his first big decision.
Caillou Borden
Yeah, I think that this is a long one hire new staff and such as for expand and conduct Those means connecting to Jacqueline really going to be I think who I think the coaches the coaches are best like a lot of people always talk about Sean McVeigh and then being a quarterback group but I think one of the reasons why he’s so great when he first guy because he I Wade Phillips, who was much older them who’ve been in legal done before adding a lot of his success with his people skills more than his actual quarterback Nick has on his concepts was nothing that people haven’t seen before was more the fact that he’s able to relate to 153 and who you hire is that I think that’s more what I look to the coaches about who do you hire you staff that’s going to determine another hire
Santiago Leon
cowboys hired Mike McCarthy was that a good hire or bad hire?
Caillou Borden
Not think there was a tremendous hire for the Cowboys other than Mike Tomlin Bill Belichick I think my party gets a lot of the I think McCarty was great. If you watch the piece that Tom I can’t remember his last name but Tom he works with NFL Network, NFL Network nfl.com. He did it too. rific thing on McCartney McCartney went 125 and 77 and two in Green Bay knife laughter branches and 13 seeds. I think McCarty’s ragi a lot of people like to make his rodeos to be what it was in Green Bay. I think a lot of people it wasn’t all McCartney and I think it was he wasn’t only blameless. I think a lot of people made do his relationship in Green Bay. I think he had a tremendous time, Aaron Rodgers, and yet the end goal is great as it wants to, but I think every relationship isn’t meant for it to last for 20 years. I think him and Aaron Rodgers had a lot of success. And I think some of these at the end, Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone. I think McCarty great. I think he’s going to be great. I think he’s a great leader. I think he won’t be too high and too low after wins. I want to see if he has as much control in Green Bay. I think some of the different GM and Green Bay and they in Green Bay. The fans have stakes in the team. I think something that in Green Bay, which we all know as a as a Packer fan. I noticed Green Bay draft really well but up until last year, they didn’t really Spend a lot in free agency. I think that’s going to be a plus working for the Cowboys. ownership. I think in Green Bay it is stakeholders setting that’s a plus ownership. You have a clear owner even though jerry jones talks about ownership create urgency. I think. I think the Cowboys are ready to win now. I think he’ll be more disciplined. And McCarty’s can some more discipline. So on 31 they won’t get that offsides called McCarthyism. no nonsense, they won’t get that. I think McCarty also wants the job. There’s something to be said for a guy who wants the job. So I think that’s also a plus the dumb and i think i think a lot of its going to be determined by it like his coaching staff. I don’t I don’t think he was forced to keep killing more because their offense ranked number one last year. I think McCarthy shuhei his own staff. I think I’ll be watching that to see if McCartney they will hire his own staff. I think that’s gonna be important for me, but I think McCarty can have really good success of the Cowboys, nine clever branches, 13 years. It’s not everyone’s flat tire or one one. demagogues in hire Urban Meyer, but I think it’s a safe fire inside insult the mccartey if you thought the word is safe and think it’s bad, ready outside of Mike Tomlin and champion and Bill Belichick. In the last 10 years, it’s hard to find a better coach than than McCarthy. If we take out Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, and Mike Tomlin, I don’t think you can find another better coach than McCarthy. So I think it’s a really good hire. I think you’ll definitely improve that Prescott, the last year, he was improving the analytical staff. He’s been getting a lot better with that at his house setting. He’s been getting a lot better with that. I think you’ll be more disciplined for them. I think he’ll be better with the media after wins and losses. He’s a grown up skills ever talk to the team, everyone on the team? I think you’ll get along with that. I think you’ll get along with Dr. Smith. I think you’ll get along with Jerry and I think it’s I think it’s I think it will really work in Dallas with them. If they’re patient. I think it’ll work.
Santiago Leon
For us. She’s mentioned that key is technically a free agent, type Prescott should they I mean, obviously if they do resigning, which I think is most likely should the TAM franchise or how much do you think that should get paid?
Caillou Borden
I think that if i think i think i think they should definitely give him over the market value. I think he definitely 3830 3538 whatever. I think it was 3538 who was asking her Genesis? I don’t think they they should give him that. I don’t think it would be wise and again, that because you’ve seen a lot of flaws in weight thing. I think they should still be a running football team. I don’t think they should give him 35 or 38. But I think they should give him like, was to maybe like, as long as they don’t get hamstring. I think the morale. I think Kirk Cousins, I think that 28 I think they should definitely get them over that because I think those seniors do go. So I think they should definitely get them over that. But I don’t think that they should get 3530 I think they should definitely allocate. I think they should definitely give them between 29 and I would say 32 I don’t think they see him once they get over 33 definitely They already can. I heard a lot gonna say maybe a franchise dadgum
Santiago Leon
Yeah, that’s definitely up in debate. I know that loves the, the organization, the team itself. And you know, definitely he’s he’s done well, I mean, I mean for my fantasies done really well, at least. But it’s not about the fantasies about winning championships and that’s what you want, of course, Jason Garrett. Garvey’s the got let go. Do you think he should be the offensive coordinator for the Giants?
Caillou Borden
Absolutely not. I don’t think they do. I don’t think that you want to see Jason Garrett. I mean, we’ve seen Jason Garrett. I mean a different time in time. 2009 his offense wasn’t that special? I don’t think that the I don’t think there’s a giant like this bond with teams and Adam Adam gates. When you when you fight when they fire coach in your division and then an urging within the division turns on at higher I don’t think that’s good iron fighters. I think because you when you’re in a division with team you directly see what our team donia Division, I think that I think the Giants will be better off. Just hiring a younger coordinator we have maybe herder or someone Joe judge is friends with someone who’s worked with. I don’t know how much experience he has with Jason Garrett, and I think you’ll be better off hiring someone that you actually don’t know, then Jason Garrett, because because the evidence that we’ve seen him, Jason Garrett has showed you that he’s not really great offense coordinator. So I think you’d be better off hiring someone or someone like Ben, or someone like Ben and me, the guy from Kansas City, I think you should, they should definitely look to give him a shot. And definitely give an interview because they’ve basically been exploiting the Rooney Rule, which is there to, you know, bring minority candidates and actually definitely think they should look at a guy like that. Instead of hiring someone like Jason Garrett. The Browns
Santiago Leon
are the last team way to hire that will be hiring a new coach. I’ve been interviewing a couple players. The big name that stands out is Josh Donald’s they interviewed on Wednesday. Eagles offense According to Jim Schwartz. Today they interviewed offensive coordinator for the Vikings Kevin Stefanski and they will interview tomorrow Josh McDaniels they’re gonna did. He already interviewed Erica? Eri benami Greg Roman rope, rubber, rubber Scylla who should the Browns hire?
Caillou Borden
I think the Browns are not going to end up with Josh McDaniels. And I don’t I don’t think a lot. I don’t asset go to Cleveland Browns. I think they always wait too long for a candidate. I mean, Matt rule is there. There’s still a lot of great candidates there. And in terms of who they should hire, I think the Browns I think the Browns need to bring someone in. That’s going to give them direction. Jimmy has them as a continue recipe of foreign coaches. I don’t think Josh McGann is going to want to go there. He’s come from New England organizations very stable knowing up into this point. I’ll see what the coaches leverage to judge the win. We’ll see what happens brain can talk about that later. But I think that I think someone should I think someone brown should hire like I think they should hire. I think they need a career. I think they need a direction that they’re going to go in and they want to go defensive. I think they should always hire. I think the browns, perfect. They need a leader and wherever, wherever in that is the best leader and who’s going to that they’re going to keep around for four years. I think they definitely to hire someone who they think could be there for the future. I think they need to bring in someone that’s either going to develop Baker Mayfield or you’re going to have a team around Nick Chubb. I think they definitely need to choose if they want their coach to be defensive or they want to coach the offensive. I think those two days and I think they need to decide I didn’t want a defensive coach, they want to offensive coach, and I think they definitely need to bring a coach that’s a leader that can be there through ups and downs who could control them, because like we’ve seen with Freddy kitchens and Odell Beckham that didn’t work, he got there. He was a running back coach, a positional coach, and he was promoted to fast and nothing against him. He wasn’t ready and the thing that blew up Odell Beckham I want to silence. You could tell that was a recipe for disaster and that’s like the guy who just taken advantage and brought that definitely think they should look Ty or defensive or offensive coach and they need a leader like a mike Tomlin they need a leader. That’s what I said they need him accardi last year because they need they were the most important thing the Browns need is they need a leader they need someone that Jimmy Haslam is not gonna have the trigger to fire after two years on the job because they have more coaches and some thousand 12 than one to remember they need. The most important thing for the brown they need is a leader I mean they have they have talent on their roster. They just need a leader because what that city is a domain with Cleveland those fans are very passionate. They they need they need a leader, someone who’s going to look through the locker room and be able to identify one to 53 Nuggets to hide the lows and someone can hold Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham both accountable. That’s what’s going to be important but

why is it Urban Meyer been mentioned or has an interview with like none of these stamps.
Caillou Borden
Why is Urban Meyer I think, I think a lot of people like I think a lot of people like Urban Meyer and they think he’s really good at the collegiate level. But a lot of people have been concerned about i’d how he’s let let these programs he does a lot of winning. And also like people like when you get to the NFL like the NFL is so much different college, you don’t when you get to the NFL A lot of it’s about like who owners are more comfortable with. I think that’s also a factor. And I think in college football, you have more you have way more controlling that. You’re basically in Ohio, in Ohio, you’re basically you could be basically the governor, you’re making more than the governor in Ohio. So I think that’s a lot. A lot of it comes down to who the owners are more comfortable with iron, and also a lot of it in college football, you get way more control. And sometimes you can go on for an interview and you mean what a Jerry Jones? If you mean what a jerry jones Oh, yeah, Jamie has a lot of them aren’t gonna want to give college coaches power unless you’re in that role and you’re coming in and you’re ready. Hi and you’re like you’re 44 years old. A lot of the NFL coaches and owners. They don’t. A lot of the coaches don’t get a lot of power in the NFL. Unless you’re bill Bocek. You don’t get a lot of time yes
Santiago Leon
that’s true really rare and a professional football coach has a lot of you know, become a coach and also a GM it’s it’s really difficult to see that. Talking about Tom Brady, where do you think he’s going?
Caillou Borden
actually have no idea where he’d go but i think that i think a lot of it I would see I think a lot of it’s been defined or what he I think a lot of it’s going to depend on like what he wants personally if he wants to stay dad a lot of trouble this year. I think I think a lot of a lot of it really depends away he wants to go with his family. I mean, take a lot of pickups for the team. He’s been you know, I think a lot of it depends like where he wants to go out he could stand New England he could be afraid and and march alive, it’s going to depend on like what he personally wants. I think alive It’s going to be common to see like what comes in a comment monster. He’s not afraid to march. So a lot of it depends what happens in big Daniels. A lot of it depends on like, how the door belcheck if they decided bring them back, they wanted to give them a deal. They could have gave them a deal. Last thing, double check, try to keep German girl flow. I think that didn’t work, obviously. So I think a lot of it’s going to depend personally about what he wants. He spent a lot of big cuts with a team about what like he personally wants.
Santiago Leon
Yeah, of course. He He has put his house on sale, as well as his trainer. So it’s going to be quite interesting where things are connecting. I be here in charges a lot. I’ve been here in the Colts. I’ve been here the dolphin so we’ll see what happens. I think the charges will be great. So I want to mention like the Raiders I don’t know that which is like today I think that’d be a good pick because I know that the coach of the Raiders does not like his quarterback so we’ll see how things will paint out. This Monday. let’s preview of the college football championship game between Clemson and LSU Who do you think will win that match?
Caillou Borden
I didn’t get i think i think LSU wins. I think I feel like the courage comes in by and Ohio State got robbed. That was a fumble and a touchdown by them. And I also think that Charlie large is able to run for at such young because I think their whole I think the referee said, Ohio State To be honest, I think, because I think a lot of the tone that changed after they were not as physical as they were in the first quarter. And I feel like that play where he lowered his current helmet. I felt like that was a lot to do with the game being less physical and credit guns and then of winning game. I thought a lot of the tone was like set on that play and not being able to be physical. And after that shall wait and they got objects and they weren’t allowed to be physical. But looking forward to like money. I think LSU that’s, like wins this game. I think it was wrong. I think Joe borrows he’s had more right Wednesday team and they’ve been the best team in the nation this season. So I definitely date date, they bring it home. They’re at home. I think they’ll have most of the home crowd. I think that’ll be a good except for this one, and I think LSU completes the story and they win Monday night,
Santiago Leon
given the score
Caillou Borden
um, I could see it being high scoring, I would go 3428 3428
Santiago Leon
pretty high scoring which is the typical college football game and random question what are your 2020 resolutions or goals?
Caillou Borden
Our goals so I’m just finish high school I’m so choose work on choosing, like work on choosing the best cause for me. And so I’m get into like a successful internship at a fortune 500 company.
Santiago Leon
And there you have it. Kylie Borden is our NFL, NBA college football resident. He’s a hybrid, even covering some women’s soccer at times. So you definitely young kid. Whole World in front of them definitely has a lot of time. A lot timeless hands but not for long. Caillou, what is the best way to reach you talk to you about Ron Rivera, I go into the Redskins.
Caillou Borden
They can reach me on keyboard and swag like Instagram and Twitter.
Santiago Leon
And of course you could reach us at the sports cast net, the sports cast net or on Twitter at the sports cast one will be following the games throughout the weekend, NFL weekend and then of course Monday night the college football championship game games a lot of hires will find out if the Browns will finally get a coach quite interesting. I don’t know if it’s gonna be McDaniels. I just don’t think it’s gonna be here feels like it’s gonna stay or I don’t know why I think he’s hanging like ready either.
Caillou Borden
I feel like I feel like he’s gonna stay because I feel like when you leave when you leave a situation like New England a leave good stability. I don’t think that you you look at the predecessors that was hired before you that’s I think Joe judge is coming from a low bar and a lot of giants fans are happy and good for them. But you’re coming from a such a low bar attack. Schirmer Today, anytime a fan base gets a little bit says that they’re gonna be happy. So I don’t think that Josh McDaniels leave that job. I think if he would have left that if he leaves New England, it’s going to be a bit for a better job coming, because I don’t think that he wants to leave the second time because remember, he didn’t want to Broncos, he wasn’t as successful. It wasn’t successful. And then you get hired by the browns and and you get you get fired in two years. That’s not your second coaching opportunity. There’s only so many they don’t give you and usually after the second coaching job as a head coach, they don’t give you much more you end up being just a coordinator. I don’t see him taking the brown shop
Santiago Leon
and can’t build shake and craft win the Super Bowl without Tom Brady.
Caillou Borden
I think it depends on who the quarterback is. They’re still going to have a strong defense. I don’t think it’s as clear cut because remember Lamar Jackson Gambier planning on getting better. And sooner or later, probably as soon as next year people are going to start taking the bills to win a division and their role is going to get a lot harder, because for the first time in 10 years, they play Walker weekend for first time since 2009. The bill had their first 10 win season since 1999. They were the only team not to have won their division. The bills of ours make it a lot harder for them to win a division. So I think it’s going to depend a lot for them. It’s not gonna be as easy to win their division. The conference is getting harder. So I definitely think it’s definitely going to be a scare road and doing especially if you lose Brady, it’s going to be a lot harder for them to even win their division. Maybe next year, people are not going to pick them the winter division anymore.
Santiago Leon
It feels like it kind of feels like the Patriots dynasty is over.
Caillou Borden
No, it’s over. Because I think
Santiago Leon
it’s pretty solid,
Caillou Borden
I think. Yeah, I think I think it’s over here. And here’s a couple points why I think it’s over because like I said for the first time to 1999 the bills, actually. The bills, actually, you know, one to 10 win season I think Lamar Jackson, they’re passing homes, their divisions improving for the first time you play wildcard weekend, Ryan tannehill went into New England. Ryan Tanner wins Knowing I’ll ask you one again I don’t think teams are as scared going into New England. You always had a lot of scanners when Antonio brown they try to get into enterprise get a workout, even a situational craft early the offseason it’s been such a big you playing Walker weekend now your divisions getting soft and now like a lot of you are talking about dual threat quarterback of the future league and they didn’t have a lot of weapons on the outside and you’re not going to be winning your division so there’s something that is going to take the bills to win a division you played a walker weekend for the first time you know in 10 years, dispatching homes and Lamar Jackson so it’s definitely going to be tougher it on and I think the dynasty is definitely over and let’s see who the dolphins take. You guys obviously finish strong with Brian Flores. So you guys will be building and let’s see Donald look better after what the model after he has the model so the divisions definitely getting better. So I don’t think they’re they’re not even going to be a lot to winter division Nikki. The bill Steven proven and Josh Allen makes those records and he gets better as a thrower. You’re not gonna be a lot to win the division.
Santiago Leon
And there you have it. The tables are turning in the AFC, East and football. We’ll see what happens anyways, Caillou went a little bit over time, enjoy this weekend in the playoffs and also enjoy Monday night. We’ll be back next week to recap all those games. Thank you
