00:00But I do think we need to dedicate some time to pass rush.
00:04And John, they won the game.
00:05Needs to be said.
00:06It was good enough that day.
00:08Will it be good enough if they don't make a move?
00:12It'll be good enough against most opponents.
00:16And you go down the list of the Lions opponents.
00:20So will it be good enough against Tennessee?
00:22Yeah, sure.
00:23Will it be good enough against the Texans?
00:26They're having a hard time protecting C.J. Stroud against even marginal pass rush.
00:32That's a TBD.
00:34Against the Jags, the Colts, yeah, I think those teams you're looking at, okay, it's
00:39good enough.
00:40But the goal for the season isn't to beat the Jags and the Colts and win 10, 12 games.
00:43The goal is to win a Super Bowl.
00:45Right.
00:46So when you play the Packers, most likely when you play the Texans, when you play the
00:49Bears.
00:50The Bills.
00:51The Bills.
00:52The Niners.
00:53The Vikings again.
00:54Kansas City.
00:56Kansas City in the playoffs.
00:57Anytime you play a playoff opponent, you're going to have to have better pass rush.
01:00So yes, I do believe they have to add someone.
01:06Question is, after that game, do you believe that they have to pay the price tag for, and
01:11I'll just throw out the two names, Max Crosby or Miles Garrett, or can they go for that
01:17next level down?
01:19Some of the guys that we've been talking about, Harold Landry, you brought him up this morning.
01:21I brought up Zedaria Smith last week.
01:24TJ last Monday brought up Aziz Ojalary.
01:28Those are guys that you could go to.
01:30Hassan Radek is off the market.
01:32Fine.
01:33Redid his deal with the Jets.
01:34I don't believe he's going to be traded.
01:36So there are some guys that you could kick the tires on.
01:40Do due diligence because like I said, against Tennessee, I don't think you need that extra
01:45pass rush to win against Tennessee.
01:48But I do want the acclimation process to start sooner rather than later to give that person
01:52the best chance to get a foothold.
01:54And if they barely play against Tennessee, fine.
01:56I want them ready to go against Green Bay.
01:59Exactly.
02:00So some urgency would be nice.
02:01And I know there's going to be this, this, this temptation to, Hey, we won.
02:04We're good enough.
02:05We don't need to.
02:06They do need to do something.
02:07I, of course, I want the best player possible.
02:09I'm not afraid of giving up first round picks, plural.
02:11I want the best player possible.
02:13I don't know that they're available and I don't know that Brad's going to do it, but
02:16it's not an excuse to do nothing just because they won this week.
02:20They had 27 rushes out of their edges without a blitz.
02:24So a true soloed up one-on-one.
02:27They used everybody on the damn roster at the edge position.
02:30Three of the 27 rushes generated pressure.
02:34That's terrible.
02:35It's not, it's not the pass rush rate.
02:37That's going to win you a Superbowl, a Superbowl playoff games when it matters most.
