" joining us on the phone lines is the -- former head coach of the ravens led -- to the -- I think we get the XX XB 35 at legal was. He's now the National Football League game analysts on fox and I suppose we can officially put the title author next to Brian -- and good morning Brian how -- You stretch. It could and yeah of the -- 5000 eagle and a bit we can we can do that. My my my guess is that deriding a new book it's called more than a game glorious present an uncertain future of an appellate wanna talk you about that. Is a little easier than coaching in the National Football League but also a Little -- shouldn't be an analyst on television will where they stack up in terms of degree of difficulty Brian."
" Well that's with the district are very good Alaska state this outlook -- that a little bit but it would strip Mike McCann virtual book. America's -- as not strong. And it's great history the league act which captures your emotional growth for this week. Ports last year and insert you know what we're it would really be great to its open where -- basically critical time. In the evolution of the actual owe a lot since coming into play obviously it can be clicked -- on top. A dramatic change in ownership profile billionaire owner which -- acted the way we do distance actual. And think happy on the field cheap coached profile quarterback situation this just ask any time the future of the national football. Which is the biggest hurdle for the unifil overcome is that too simplistic to say the upcoming CBS. No I don't think so because obviously labor peace such huge and India shall meet -- hackers as we said that the new profile ownership. The -- principal channel for a long time. Gene Upshaw. Paul Tagliabue. Even though they're on opposite sides of the perhaps you felt like somehow they all do we're. Each of these negotiations. And -- the country shepherd there are constituencies there. Russia itself of course -- one another this circumstance for the term and in you know much more all such ration. In the sense that the -- as -- so well one side but -- always aware of the ownership that. Life has changed in the margins are different. We need a different -- so it's gonna be or it's going to be unfortunate -- church street read but hopefully we go to lock."
" Brian Billick your book more than a game really is an inside look in into the sport and MII found some interesting -- that fascinating. Numbers you have there and and the one that really jumped out at me was the direct correlation. Of how well you draft and evaluate a quarterback. And the -- head coach's job to say security buildings will be job insecurity those two things are tied pretty tightly together -- they're not."
" you probably could human -- structures. In the two games for fox."
" It and that's that at --"
" It's it's up and it's well Arafat mean there's a quarterback prudently can and I will say this we all know there are not started to article cal quarterbacks. Indian felt but this country the world at such -- position. I can't remember -- time where we were just deep equality quarterback play. And this week if you have one that's why I think somebody cheeks really feel like -- a chance to make a lot because if you are one. You got a chance if you don't you pretty much don't and and you know that's a large number two up. All of which for good opposite quarterback driven league and if you don't -- but aren't wanted to try to -- And you're gonna get a chance someplace else."
" you know what Brian you're famous for one we favors for two things that the middle like I mean the course like commercial first ball and also for winning a Super Bowl without. A great quarterback that anytime a team doesn't have a great quarterbacks. Look at the rate ousted. You know they won -- deep offense. Obviously. It it's easy with a great quarterback. And the patriots have won here. In your mind other other many ways to India have to have a great team -- have to have. You know a Ray Lewis -- win a suitable."
" Well confidential secure approach first -- to play good picture on the exit and that's formed facts matter is that there's. We want a cap that they want to read charts. Reporters. The sort of we were at a different time -- or court clips of the greats of the game and you know Troy a speed you know. Chip Kelly they were transition -- it was treated -- transitioned -- we can we show that talked about it's deep. Were -- position so it's a different topic and I'm not -- that is good formula but. Alaska should -- that that you can -- And so can -- what should. Operated detect fatigue that field scored just got to be -- Eli -- He took his team. As good as the Pittsburgh steeler -- that's -- Lester they were actually top. It took a federal Hotspur in the last -- it apple ever was to try perhaps -- became so yes. Right good potential on the ball is huge but my contention is -- the time. Where your one should be that perhaps it --"
" And clearly that the patriots took a step back defensively. Obviously -- where Bruschi retired and now Seymour has been traded. Did -- a mediocre defense here -- or maybe not even mediocre cannot hold up enough. And allowed Tom Brady to carry them to another Super Bowl."
" You put it if you had to choose and -- came onto -- source. You're talking about it has so well and because peace. But if you had to choose in today's game. Part oracle should you since you commute executions will make things happen not structure that if you had to choose you would take the Dominic. Quarterback. And not a that the instructor all he can't he can't you know over com a terrible obstacle with which -- great. But it -- QB middle right deep sense solid not spectacular. And talks like quarterback I think that's probably the better question."
" We're talking with Brian Billick former NFL head coach now NFL analyst on fox and the NFL network and an author of a new book. Called more than a game a bright morning of all the stories is -- start to unfold tonight and for the next four months plus. What are all those stories interest you were fascinates you the most you know old quarterbacks in new places where the -- farm or new quarterbacks in new places Sanchez or Stafford. Or new coaches into places or something else other than what I've mentioned."
" Well script and about the NFL those brokerage torts you know star quarterback just that -- for war and pro war. All wait out to a match -- Mark -- check your Flacco. We constantly changing coaching. In what's become a general managers -- neglected. There's a lot of stars two balls to stand here so I'd like because I think ownership has taken on or solve all of you know what I don't know that we need that that command press -- figure that they're good to your -- general manager. And you've got strict coach Paul can -- record here. You don't have to fix your consideration you'd have to affect their presence just coached ball particles such realistic. And local -- cycle patch cycle right now and they'll be picked that -- about those we of the blues and those solutions said okay did work and held on to the next cycle orders local action to get caught fire at a profit skyrocketed keep since I've got a decent about it opposite direction they go local orchestra which is that. -- support these sorts it just so very copycat circle only."
" Bright it is in that category -- old quarterbacks in new places which one is more likely to end badly Michael Vick waiting on the sidelines while people in Philadelphia -- the first incompletion but McNabb throws or Favre waiting to sort of under winder unravels you get a -- of the season with the jets last year."
" I would -- a little bit more about Michael -- situation. What reason it's just Chile and the candidate blow out portion. I think -- aperture tortured -- picture don't want to wear away from Munich to the problems and -- rarely if ever. Works but it since structure disorders Lester talks -- They've got hatred Peters -- or -- we embrace. Mentality I do not have to be there's superstar there's -- I don't have to -- talks. You'll remember I did art directed via -- Girls -- we can reach six stretched out stint which seeks to and that way and we lurid stroke or alt -- and keep you right there up. Every talks about helped write it what they're -- it. I don't know I think Minnesota's -- cheap I think it's a much better chance of making that stretch were stopped on. -- But if you -- embrace. You know what -- only actual twitch when it talks -- to this team to. Actual -- I don't have to take chances. But that's a lot to ask for a great quarterback as well yourself can look -- 225 -- don't make a mistake. Okay XP careful -- book by the way we need that big play that big touchdown with an air to force."
" Brian Billick gave my information is correct you're going to be doing the browns vikings up for fox on Sunday correct."
" Absolutely look a portrait -- what brought trust parker Thom Brennaman and contests and -- are frustrated sometimes with the Minnesota Vikings seven years yeah it can take your order -- it used to seat number or."
" will bullets go to the other side of the field. Men -- trying to play his cards close to his best. Help hurt or make no difference to try to keep until August yesterday these these secret of his starting quarterback intact."
" How are actually who -- GG there's been enough shelters due to the tradition of -- worker. An actual people -- worked it did the right at the bit in news you'd you'd do it that's the only way people look at it. I I don't quite understand it if I had eight option potential military -- yeah. And -- some ambiguity about it now out I have a climate deep cent support their -- you're ready for that. Now that -- me just like at the outside the pocket picked so I like -- Darden or like -- that pocket passer. But Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson people -- out similar attributes -- wars different strengths we persist for both pocket -- Paris I'm not quite sure. And -- you sending a bad message you can tell your players or do mistress tactical strategic reasons but I'm not sure that people look to that well sir you're not quite sure who is court action speak."
" Brian I know you were like and respect Al Davis but have you ever seen. A more ill advised. Deal than the one they just made trading their future first rounder. Richard Seymour will likely -- even shows up at all likely only spend one season there -- a team that. Clearly is not one player wages got one player and give up a big part of the future."
" Well you gotta give mr. Davis credit for having the passion that say we gotta be good Al Davis external time mr. takes a cease and and and he has absolutely desperate to deter us out as anybody in the profession there's I agree refute. Pockets of -- of a scratch or I'm not sure we have the complete story on that. Now the patriots are not one electorate players go. Whether it's strictly contractual orders to negotiate peace trillion player should look -- He's had on the capital slow so I don't know because Paul Harvey which it will appear to rest of the story on this. -- But you're right I think -- so long line of decisions in Oakland that. Including mr. Davis I caught -- this industry. Tremendous presence and national football week at a and M steady tireless and those sit well he's at a -- he's not shark he can. They're all this guy as sharp as can be I don't -- assist you would get at all right now. But that's probably -- a lot of people -- just not sure -- to be there to stand up to mr. patients say hey this is a good idea."
" Well you know the -- announced the league's of the -- and what recourse in your mind to see more have is there any chance. He just doesn't show up in Oakland."
" Well you are -- choice certainly you can not play. People that that -- court -- every now and then the unlike I've -- a cute actually come to fruition. So at some point. It was situation street war whose anti into contracts should do all we don't try to dispel the -- Brandon Marshall. And polite. What a great this battle. Order just not a constructive for the cheap and raiders can look at it so you know what we do that all the times when it do that maybe Detroit."
" They've run I leave you this question does sure I'm not sure it's a record but it's certainly up there somebody 5000 dollars in fines from the league for a -- let's say saying the things that that -- did what to say is that in jeopardy with Greg tried in the jets this year and -- to take and you."
" Where they cut it you know we're actually all you have to use those challenger corrections that you -- amateur record very little bit of Tupelo and I don't -- I tell you laugh out -- I know what the -- got done shipment script my daughters -- to read. Source or my youngest daughters which got caught up such -- yeah -- secret about teaching mr. Gingrich are you kidding me 75000. Dispatched by the heritage to. Yeah."
" And it's all about accuses its gonna ever gonna give -- that Coors Light money and I know you win that."
" Talk -- you can use our outlook go to Beijing have thirty years procession Super Bowl coach I want to the airport additionally -- A year that -- quite a."
" At a net net net net -- just like one hour days where all that Biden where they Brian straight right.
