00:00 Your thoughts on miles garrett winning defensive player of the year t.j. watt
00:03 Coming in second, which is definitely well deserved if he came in third i'd be like this is unbelievable. Um
00:09 last night at the nfl honors
00:12 Yeah, I think it was a little
00:14 Frustrating like I know it doesn't matter in a whole like in the grand in the larger scheme of things like
00:20 Tj's got one like if tj didn't have one. I think I would be
00:24 More like I would be a little more annoyed about this. I would think it'd be a bigger deal. Um, but
00:30 I mean, it's just
00:31 the record's always gonna
00:33 You know
00:33 Like the record books are always just going to say miles garrett was the best defensive player in the nfl this year and I just don't
00:38 Think that was true. And it's frustrating because you can't like
00:41 You point to the stats you can make some really, you know, some longer arguments about it
00:46 but it's just gonna be frustrating when the only response that anyone has to has to ever give is
00:51 Well, tj
00:53 Was the best defensive player in the nfl?
00:54 Why didn't he win defensive player of the year, you know?
00:56 And it's just like that's gonna be the entire thing for the rest of time
00:59 uh, it's just that miles garrett is gonna be able to hold on to this and and browns fans are gonna be able to hold
01:04 on to it the browns are gonna be able to hold on to it and it just
01:07 Didn't really make sense to me. It was built on hypotheticals like
01:11 Oh, if there was a play to be made here miles garrett would have made it. Um, yeah, but you know
01:16 It was tj wad who was making all of those plays. Um,
01:18 like my
01:20 And I just I don't
01:22 I don't know we we went over this we've talked about this
01:25 Ad nauseum, but like
01:27 the predictive stats are fine in some in some context, but
01:30 at a certain point it's got to be about what you actually did on the field not what you might have done if
01:36 You know the ball came your way or something like that
01:39 like yes some point you just gotta you got to make the plays and the counting stats have a have a place in
01:44 In modern football. So like why are we why are we abandoning those so quickly?
