00:00He's the guy you would, I would want the most.
00:02I agree.
00:03Does everybody agree with that?
00:04617-779-7937.
00:05Ben Johnson, greater than everyone on the board, greater than Vrabel.
00:09I agree.
00:10You agree.
00:11Do you all out there agree?
00:12No.
00:13I know that they don't.
00:14I was even seeing it on Twitter yesterday.
00:15We've seen it in the Twitch chat today.
00:16Some of the text lines.
00:17And I think people are a little gun shy of a first year head coach because of how bad
00:21Gerard Meyer was as a first year head coach.
00:23I would just say there are noticeable differences between the two, noticeable, notable, both
00:30He's a coordinator at least.
00:31Gerard Meyer was never a coordinator and people kind of brush past that a little bit.
00:35Then he took over and you're like, man, this guy was really only in charge of inside linebackers
00:40and now all of a sudden he's in charge of the entire thing.
00:41And he ran a few meetings during the week.
00:43He never called plays.
00:44Nope.
00:45So like, he didn't have like one thing to really hang his hat on as a great skill set.
00:49Whereas Ben Johnson has been, he's still young, right?
00:53He's I think 38 or whatever.
00:55He's right around the same age as Meyer.
00:57But this is his third year as being full on offensive coordinator of the Detroit lions.
01:02And everyone's like, oh, he's got great players.
01:03He's got great players.
01:05Well, he wasn't the OC Dan Campbell's first year where they went three and 13.
01:11They had Gerard Goff.
01:13They had Amon Ross St. Brown.
01:15They had some of the other guys that were on the old line.
01:17They were the 25th offense.
01:19Ben Johnson takes over the next year where they have Gerard Goff, Amon Ross St. Brown,
01:24and a lot of the same guys, fifth ranked offense, fifth ranked offense, this year,
01:29best offense.
01:30It was a slow start, but meaning his first year in Detroit, but they waited that ship
01:33by the end of the year.
01:34They were awesome a year ago.
01:35Now they, I believe for the first time in franchise history are the one seed in the
01:40NFC and they won 15 games.
01:42And you're right.
01:43Like, I'm not going to ignore the fact that, you know, Sonic and Knuckles are great.
01:47And Sonic was a first round pick.
01:49And what did we say the other week?
01:51Four-fifths of their offensive linemen, I believe, are first round picks.
01:55We might've been talking about that off the air actually, but sorry, say it again.
01:57I was just reading some news.
01:58Their offensive line, four out of five are first round picks?
02:00Yes, yes, yes, yes.
02:01Like they have studs.
02:02I get it.
02:03And so if he comes here, he doesn't have all that, but to put Drake May in the hands of
02:06Ben Johnson and to match him up with a guy who you don't have to be afraid of losing.
02:11That's the problem when you have like a really good offensive coordinator and he's matched
02:14up with the quarterback.
02:15Well, all of a sudden he becomes the head coaching candidate and he's gone.
