00:00John, the trade deadline, does it bother you they didn't add someone?
00:03Oh my gosh, yeah, I thought this was the key, part of the key, to what we were trying to
00:11do here and that the first half of the season would have proven to this front office, okay
00:17here are the areas of need, clearly we need to go get some bolstering in the pass rush
00:22department and now there was a deadline, it came and went.
00:28It feels like something must have been swiped out from under us in order for it to come
00:34and go with nothing happening, the Preston Smith of the Packers, Preston Smith is now
00:41a Pittsburgh Steeler, the Browns, no I'm talking, the Packers, I'm sorry, Preston Smith of the
00:47Packers is now a Pittsburgh Steeler, the Z'Darrius Smith of the Browns, as Jimmy mentioned, is
00:57now a lion, a team who is atop the NFC, the best team in the NFC is making moves, they
01:06made a move that not only made them a lot better because Aiden Hutchinson went down,
01:11they needed it, it made us worse because we needed it too, we needed a pass rusher to
01:17aid what we got because it's just not good enough, Bryce Huff, it's still, he was asked
01:24about yesterday, Bryce Huff is missing just a no man's land, Nolan Smith is kind of, if
01:33they don't block him maybe he'll get in there but I don't have a lot of faith he's going
01:37to get in there with consistency if they account for him, that doesn't feel good in any way,
01:43we should have gone and gotten better, I'm sure that was part of the plan and we didn't
01:51get it done.
01:52I think I know, that's right, so here's what I'll say, it's definitely in the past been
01:56part of the plan when Howie really believes in the team and there's a need, so 2022 they
02:03were so stacked, I honestly I don't remember what they did but I don't think they added
02:07anyone of note, you can make the case there was no need, I mean they were crushing fools,
02:12but 2017 when Darren Sproles had gotten hurt, it did help to bring in J.I.
02:17Commanders went out and got better against us, they added Marshawn Lattimore, a cornerback,
02:24a guy who makes it easier for them to cover our, really it's a weapon, think about that
02:32convoy of wide receivers coming in to get you, Marshawn Lattimore now helps the commanders
02:38who are ahead of us.
