Adam Schefter, NFL Network

And steel ones are well out of chapter of NFL network is joining us on the AT&T hotline eight TNT. You were world delivered animal have an -- point which visitor has the best shot this weekend. And.

Well first of almost happy new year -- Jerry and you know -- Looking at the games we can what do you like about Baltimore going into that Baltimore if you remember it Hurricane -- Basically had -- unexpected bye in week -- the Ravens have now played. Seventeen straight weeks without a rest seventeen straight weeks now. I think they're good lip -- suck it up for three more and could be able to beat and it -- you're going to ask me to pick one team. That are the best chance to win. This week we're tickled -- at Philadelphia. To me. Resembles last year's Giants last year people realize that in. And then he regard in the playoffs people are subject ebony since come back ever. Court accomplice had let your partner retread this year last year Philadelphia or Giants got an area five or 61 in Tampa. Although -- to expect and let the last moment that weren't Minnesota. I'd understood that Philadelphia. When you look at it they've won in New York this year already. I think they get a chance doesn't relate well but that to newbie who want -- to -- having the best checked we're discrete number.

Let's go the other side of the coin which of the two warm weather teams is likely to get killed the most Arizona at Carolina or San Diego at Pittsburgh.

Errors are no question and and shown they've shown nothing back east not to. And can be when you're going up against looking to run the ball like Carolina -- there's quite as well Carolina has done stretched. You know I may mileage I don't GR so what do I don't sit you.

Now know all none of fact I was just saying that the break. A much better would be of Oklahoma Florida was Saturday night that could be like the big game of the weekend and considered Carolina Arizona. I'm I'm sorry this is going to be something better on TV set in.

He'd say oh well publicity he Jerry barber years that -- a year. But Carolina is playing at St. Louis and it is Saturday night's game an update -- up. Well executed game at at but I was a great game element that Carolina it Arizona North Carolina shut down that is what that game by. Agassi. -- north haven't used but in general but I got to see eight. --

One more game San Diego obviously that was a nice win an upset at home over Indianapolis we note on -- does not plan. Do you give them a shot going into Heinz Field. And.

shot that the Cardinals. But certainly less of a shot in the Ravens or the Eagles. And I think that San Diego they're one better in the attic or see them if you Colts. LTB Duff and their record rookies and throw the ball -- Paris rolls I think -- back and revisionists here that's really -- the situation yes and it -- that it used to Darren Sproles. Wrecked yet the big errors that charges and need on the ground when he and the.

I think the aboard ship the -- as the starting starter for the day and keep LT on the sideline and you know hobbled a.

yeah. I don't think he'll usually are okay they're they're not going to get anything happens we -- into the -- British or whether he -- or not an -- BQ well. Nokia did not factor --

Now out of my sources tell me that you were on your way that Mangini press conference in lovely Berea Ohio is that true. Well I'm going --

My studio in and the city right now. New York City Q. Cap whatever broadcast the -- pressure on Michael to realize my third national union rep Davenport.

We -- surprised that he was so impressive in his in his view. -- jumped at the chance to hire a guy we can they -- it work again at least three year period. Not beat prospect no we've got to mcdaniels and about all he beat out all the hot guys that TO.

What you know here's a surprise it -- or person almost none of the -- you -- coaches. Of opened fire under previous job so technology that. Usually -- or better what they've been fired a coach could divorce brain they bring their perspective of the -- street. So that -- what which apparently here. Is that. Is it in Cleveland that really went after what seemed to go after Scott pioli berry art at the outset you the first that there won't after. For whatever reason that he'll does not get Doug Scott pioli did not go to the look and sure you make that decision the Browns is the conscious decision. Two aren't open your franchise. Eric Mangini ahead of Scott pioli right now. I don't know what they're they offered that Scott and it turned out whether whatever yes or. -- No one knows that I can say unequivocally it yet it would happen between those 2 and -- and you are -- opulent. In -- St. all week you know it at that he'll didn't get stuck and it's not getting got so. What was it that make Cleveland this shot because ultimately ready Murton would -- you watched that. It's franchise is better movement or what Eric Mangini leading if it's duck hill at that -- that chart.

I guess from the reports were reading appear Adam is that that. Pioli made a price himself out of that particular market with both -- demands and his demands for control but even that if he even if that. Is the obvious reason the appeal is not there. Is it still bass backwards to hire a coach before you get -- general manager there.

Well it can't be but I think that. They've spoken to Eric Mangini clearly about direction -- GM they're going to go your receipt George -- yes or they're going to go talk packer. And I'm sure Mangini onboard with old man. And ready to go Balkman combo would Mangini sorts all systems go up you don't hire George coaching decision you that you really get. I'd rather. -- bridge the gap is question. If you're playing -- roster will it didn't we just -- it and we just bring it up all of our deep prejudice just beat coach -- England and they are -- Balt more did we do that how that worked out.

Maybe feels like -- Well what what why is learn so enamored of Mangini do you think.

Well I I think that they in his league that are not a coach you spray it didn't want to go or somebody. -- didn't Patrick -- sports you look back and look at each new Cleveland Browns and their turns believable. Who will be their coaches course offer no college experience put it there's no doubt that -- coaching spreads. But in at the level on record on the way the coaching experience. And I continued determined. To go around in -- more at a spread you what you're an adult. Take a while Carter somebody that did not have expert.

And out of are your sources telling you that Woody Johnson in New York is taking just the opposite -- because we've heard from a couple people who said. Rumor has it scuttlebutt in around the Jets organization as he is looking for one of these fresh face never been a head coach in the NFL -- guys before.

Well I think look at stricter -- we make our -- practical and that would also -- The Jets -- will be either Bryant shot -- course you expect a lot going to be one of those two I think it. So neither one of them has been -- before. Both had chance to become a coach -- sport but -- for the Dolphins job few years ago it'd take it. He's Greg dole could become any coach last year but watched cricket W didn't do that so I think one of those two guys were locked up it at staples the pure --

Out of if you -- a Josh mcdaniels and let's just say all the jobs that are left. Scratching Cleveland out of the -- are available through you which one would you find the most attractive if you're this young upcoming first base coach.

It's not even a comparison. That -- have -- job out there are no more obscure reasons according broke don't. Mobile quarterback receiver adjustment in what can do it back so what do you do it Jay Cutler you a better organization that -- They're very good over the years apple has tremendous honor. I mean look it forward to the owners that are still out there and what was is. Uncertain ownership situation Detroit it's quite. -- who are not going to go mcdaniels. So waters out to sort out there. The Dodgers St. Louis Detroit and about it.

Bread. -- like just with over the list. -- What is it about the incident -- in Kansas City -- talked an appeal of the not going to strap -- if he takes the job with with Herm Edwards thing.

You know departed singers now I think I'm going to be done about what is Mike York but the funny thing is. I got also a bite your year you guys are there. I had gotten calls. Three or five times today every day for the last week about Scott pioli and its future all. It -- not always not secret yet -- Beckett addiction we know he's not. But he is not -- get it -- to -- knuckle that she's. I've never -- more scuttlebutt about somebody and what I expect we're I didn't know what led to the point. That some -- wore pink polish straighter whatever it's called the Chiefs magazine says Scott pioli took the job with the Chiefs and I gave up opposite like. Not choked and luckily it but it happened. My guess straight -- you understand you know I look at my best guess but the -- that -- it now but there's been more. It's appreciate about in -- you know long department the information on one day at one under one day. Always seems to contradict information that another time another pointer that put the thing is we don't ask I don't -- but right now basically you didn't like lord. Might get -- ultimately. An episode that look at. If you look --

an easy explanation here Adam is that he is the outlaw all these teams eyes he's the guy they'd like to have but the ones that -- and kicked the tires cost a little bit more than a Chevrolet is going to cost like the Rolls Royce so.

In order it would you know it's not going to the regulation easily -- coach is the cradle organization to -- quarterbacks. You know elected apartment situation. -- and everything why shouldn't he.

Tennessee probably makes we were guests in like a million bucks a year and they're offered -- four million that's a good reason isn't it.

That's a good -- but you know what is to bring your opinion million dollars and I I had and I hope it over the course like real make a million dollars I -- I. I think -- by the billion dollars a year so you.

Sure but it's easier to -- four million. It what are -- five or six. But I don't. Believe he believed if the situation is perfect. In its not -- fall back position which is to not move at all and sabathia but here's the thing out of his 43 -- chance to lead in the past. He has that in the back was my -- they can. I'm not going to have these chances every year for the rest of my.

W a lot of the -- that is going to -- authority to -- over Asia and of course he's the quarterback. He's going to -- is going time. These subjects are more that you -- not born here after I -- window. The bunker shot. Ones Tom Brady is done and they're not a solution at quarterback position -- it. And they -- different without all that quarterback shall pick it that you're -- without all our quarterback's biggest St. it to me. You -- want you -- he had -- or Seattle doesn't by the -- in check your jacket you know -- indoor. Yet the ship may be lead you're not noticed were expected to Cleveland and working in the city and -- good neither of them awaited -- Kansas City. And again not accurate but he wouldn't go next year and a team reps whatever that is it's just it's gotta be -- At all you barely got recruited his decision making process here.

Have you heard the name Jeff check Gusinsky and all your conversations and all the scuttlebutt is his name come up as a as a head coaching candidate. Or even a coordinator at this point.

updated -- into the third and educate it's number one. I got an email from or GM director steered married or assistant GM basically. You've got they reject it and you thinking about -- Herbert GM felt -- but number one coach -- Now also say also that I checked the great people -- Independent people like what you say. Focused versus Seattle coach in the mid west an agent -- the academic bank. Three people three disparate worlds. All said about jet jet you can't keep true or not. In quotation marks. Character issues. Okay and you guys know we got all of our government jet -- he. Okay but I could -- an interpretation from all the people are spoken juridical lot it's great football approach. Character issues whatever that is.

Well -- that are with the character issues are what we were or are of the opinion that for you -- walk away from a million dollar job and not have something else is folly. Our sense was that maybe you'd be the offensive coordinator job at Seattle which against a field yesterday by -- But. It doesn't make any sense to walk away from something. You hit it sold Natalie -- what are our that's our -- Cardinals lineup really didn't he could have stated he didn't -- the Jets and everybody to. Be fired himself he allowed itself to be fired -- it's me it's okay but it's Ellis.

he gets paid and know what you will get another coaching job I assure you that yeah. Okay and I guarantee -- my luck -- should be out -- in my heart should be that. It would not strictly over this that there -- other issues involved between acute side that. That coach had issues with the eight BA BA the other she's the coach. I don't believe. That it simply can doubt the best acting you can very convenient way to tackle -- you'd you'd attribute -- out. You think that it that's your thing.

Will that he'll get another job will will.

Odds are not -- because yesterday you'd be the only issue -- like get --

I think he was disillusioned with the college game that you want to go recruiting didn't want to deal with the missions he wanted back in the NFL. And this was a pretty convenient way does he get fired as you point out he keeps his base salary he gets his name out there he -- at the Jets job that he'll get some job in will be back in the NFL where he wants to be yeah I don't think it was his relationship. The athletic director that that that failed -- did at the end but I don't think that was the reason he wanted to go you -- to -- wanted to go for number of other reasons and that'll be the relationship with people -- was the reason.

And I'll say this might get serious they used to victories -- at number reached as we go and that -- are urged that the football and I. Issues with Jerry could you do well to get it mattered.

Well when he found out it was called around and and and cultivating NFL jobs he was the one called the Jets and other NFL. Team seeing if there were offensive coordinator positions open or head coaching jobs for that matter and and when when that team delight by the way a reporter call the athletic director and did you know your head coach is -- the Jets that's -- we found out that's with the disillusionment took place.

Well again I think Eric -- issues beyond just bet. --

What's your feeling on Pacman will he do we all just overrated include the Cowboys did.

And -- about this how much time that we talked about this guy over the last year or chill and you're talking about a guy who last year was a lot back in the week. We didn't return single park circuit for a touchdown in every single interception that make it shingle contribute tackle why are we talking about hysteria -- over.

One reason is he's a cowboy who was a cowboy and we all we -- we always over hype overreact Cowboys. It's just the way it is in the NFL. Where does he go now does he get another job in the with the Raiders.

Well you know it -- personally going to trial later this month. That stems back from his first incident in Las Vegas and I think get to see how that plays out and at peace. Quality of any. The charges he's patient and get up in the -- And yes I could potentially get that he could be back in the NFL with I don't either the Raiders or the Cowboys at -- Ellis could completely taken -- But again I think it comes Beckett basically. What happens in this -- to a trial and and it became part of his way out of this -- but I think he can -- medical record 800 jail. So I think it is clear driving an extra.

If if if he gets to the trial and is available summoning hires him that I guess that means Michael local B and somebody's camp during the summer.

A data that I feel very -- and I mean they're not teams. That need quarterback Joe leash. And -- couldn't let -- woods. Somebody is going to -- that victory. With certainty.

All right Adams later rounds -- the number one pick is Matthew Stafford do clear ideas that he is he right now. Penciled in at number one.

You know -- I'm in the coaches look right now I know -- guard Gary HO -- I don't actually coach I think a Martinez to cover an element coaching she. And we become iron dread that Albion have more I really couldn't -- educated answer right now at stake. -- Stafford or Sam Bradford or whoever may be at number one but I would actually the wind -- quarterback that I.

He is out of shelter from the NFL network always a pleasure out of we'll talk -- next week. --
