00:00Do you like that approach, or should the head coach pick who the starters are?
00:06Absolutely not in this particular instance, in my estimation.
00:09The reason, Gerard Mayo has already announced a number of times and acknowledged, hey, I
00:14don't know what I don't know.
00:15I don't know how I'm going to be as a head coach.
00:16I might be good.
00:17I might not be good.
00:18The offense is the purview of Alex Van Pelt.
00:21I'm learning.
00:22He is head coach offense.
00:24Now, five years down the road, seven years down the road, if Mayo still happens to be
00:28the head coach, then he can be more of a big old swing in Richard.
00:31But right now, he should 1 million percent defer to the guy who's been a quarterback
00:35in the league, has been an offensive coordinator, has been installing everything, and has a
00:40better grip, I think, on what he expects from his quarterback in this system than Gerard
00:45could.
00:46So to me, first say goes to Alex Van Pelt.
00:50Last say should go to Mayo.
00:52But in Mayo having last say, Jonesy, it should be, all right, well, we'll go with what you're
00:57doing.
00:58But if it doesn't work, we're going to switch to X if there is a difference of opinion.
01:02Right.
01:03So he could effectively overrule it at some point, which I gather.
01:07But do you think there's any do you think the lack of, you know, uniform decision making
01:13and maybe even the Bursette injury?
01:15I know Mayo said he could have played through it, but we kicked around these ideas earlier.
01:18Do you think those have played into the lack of an announcement?
01:21I know he says not a big deal.
01:22The game's not till September 8th, but they are one of the few teams that hasn't made
01:25the announcement.
01:27Do you think the amount of voices in the room have delayed picking someone?
01:33I think it's a complex decision.
01:36And I don't know if it would be even easy for, you know, with Sean Payton sitting here,
01:42very experienced off as a coach, it's a kind of a complex decision.
01:45Is it doing anyone any favors by having it drag out?
01:49I don't know what kind of damage it's doing.
01:51I don't even know if it's dragging out.
01:53I mean, you have an eight-year veteran and a guy who made 30 college starts.
01:58You have an offensive line that can't block to save its frigging soul.
02:03You've already said you're going to make a project of the kid that you're bringing in.
02:07He's well ahead of schedule as far as I'm concerned, but still he is a project.
02:12And you just ruined a quarterback by shoving him out there and taking all his goodies away
02:17in his second year in Mac Jones.
02:20It's a fait accompli.
02:21I mean, to me, we're kind of waiting on white smoke, but we already know who the Pope is.
02:26It's going to be percent.
