Eddie Bravo getting a shout out on the Rich Eisen show is insane.
Nearly spit out my drink when i heard Rich say his name.
I thought the same thing lmfao
Giants is literally same situation as Denver. I want to see him have a chance
Falcons would be the best situation for success
How many times can the Seahawks sack Russell like they did Daniel Jones?
denver is a better team overall without the QBs. Especially minus barkley.
Falcons over Steelers?@@joshramirez7
There’s something to be said of NYC being a better market for Sierra to live in too.
The shade on Newark is classic. But showing up on commercial is the real deal.
I'm sure Dallas, Philly, and Washington, support having Wilson at quarterback of the New York Giants too.
Speaking for us all, we do
I hope u guys get that wish
He would immediately be the best QB on the team, so it's nice that they would root for that.
Ohhhh the NFC East. All bark and no bite.
@@lucasmartinez5703 Good one!
Newark truly is a test of will
It makes sense because his wife is mostly in New York. A few years back, didn’t she get mad for having the travel to Seattle all the time. So this make perfect sense for him and his family.
Shoot, u know any team Russ goes to next will be in the top 3 or 4 of the market. Count out Cowboys cuz they gonna hope & pray Dak plays to earn his keep....
Rich..a rising star in the ‘sit down comedy’ arena!🤓
Rich is a Delusional apologist for Wilson, Watson and Lamar!
The league isn’t set up for an aging QB who relies on his ability to escape to hide his flaws. DL/DE is too fast now. His inability to complete intermediate timing throws led to terrible sacks, and will always be the reason why he won’t make it back to a SB.
Quick Stat: In total sacks, Denver’s OL was ranked top 5 in the NFL, responsible for 70.1% of sacks. Russ was ranked 1st (for QBs), responsible for 24.3%.
He had a great career in Seattle, but that old Russ doesn’t exist anymore.
Nailed it. Couldn't run a cutdown version of Payton's offense which relies on timing. Too many look at the stats and think he played well.
It was either checkdowns or hail Marys with little in-between
Denver’s OL isn’t close to a top 5 OL in reality. Yea, Wilson might of been responsible for 25% of his sacks but his supporters would argue that with a pocket QB Denver woulda gave up FAR MORE sacks than they did with Russell, that he avoided a lot of sacks avoiding far more than he gave up , but that Denver is just horrific in pass protection and Sean Payton’s play calling did nothing to help Russ out.
I think "that old Russ" is definitely the one that currently exists
@@K1forMVP Wilson was sacked a ton in Seattle as well, perhaps its a coincidence or not..
We’re still talking a vet-min deal here. Find me a better QB you can get for even 3x that price
I don't think people are taking into account that Pissburgh is a blue collar town, and Russ IS NOT a blue collar QB. I don't see it working there.
We gotta add the Newark rant to the list. Maybe not the best but most definitely one of the most out of the blue funny
Rich, you are the man! I flew through Newark Infernal Airport frequently and I feel your pain. It has all the charm of dog vomit. The layout is somewhere between chaotic and non-existent. Love the rant.
I like the idea of Russ with the Giants. They then can re-sign Saquon and focus on receivers and the O-line in free agency and the draft. Tyrod Taylor is underrated, but I think that Russ might be even better. Daniel Jones is at best a competent backup. No dishonor in that. He was just drafted too high.
I think Barkley is done with the Giants
NYG are a 1-16 team in 2024
The Vikings defense made Daniel Jones look good. It was an illusion.
I'll speak for all NJ residents, we all hate Newark Airport
2004: Giants released Kerry Collins, signed SB winning QB Kurt Warner and then traded up for Eli
2024: stuck with Jones one more year, possibly signing SB winning QB Russell Wilson and there’s even talks of them trading up for a QB
I live in NJ and I and I never fly out of Newark. Rather fly out of Philly.
As a Giants fan I would rather have Russ and Jones than reach for a QB in the draft.
I agree. Daboll would surely enjoy working with Russ. He would get so MUCH out of him.
The team is in criminally bad shape, we would be winless without Barkley.
@@morenewyorkgiantsplease I mentally punted on next season it's a wash. Just hope it could be entertaining.
Giants should push to pickup Flaco! Wilson and Jones are Bust in 2024.
My thoughts as well. I'd be content with RW, DJ and Tommy for the Giants QB room in 2024.
Bruh. Literally sitting at Newark airport listening to this as my flight is delayed. Lol.
If winning is his top priority then Pittsburgh is the easy choice.
I'm from upstate NY. I *try* to fly out of Newark to avoid NYC. I would have said the pre-renovation LaGuardia is how you describe Newark, but LaGuardia is nicer now.
Russ to Steelers would be the best move for him. Kenny Pickett it's just like kordell Stewart all hype.
Stewart took the Steelers to an afc championship. Pickett can't hold Stewart's jock strap. Are you high?
@@vincentbonner3453 Very True, Those tiny Hands ain't holding that 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You are a very wise man!~ playing for rivals won't work out well, in my opinion. I've been noticing a pattern here. But will it be Russell's decision?... Especially if you are married to an Entertainer who sings.... You know where I'm going with this.... Right?..
True Tomlin Good Coach better Job for Wilson. But still 9 win team. Wilson is Toast and Pete in Seattle knew it!
Dude, Kordell was awesome. Yeah, he was turnover prone, but the guy took us to the AFC Championship. Kenny can barely get us a TD drive right now.
This show is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.
Russ mentioned SB's and you're suggesting the Giants would be a better fit - hahahahaha I didn't know Rich was a comedian!
Here just for the Newark comments 😂
The Garden spot of the Garden State.
Imagine this impossible scenario.
Giants
- pick up wilson
- keep barkley
- draft malik nabers
- keep waller
- keep tyrod as backup
Suddenly you have a squad worth mentioning!
No squad without a good o- line though
Love It! Love It! Great Vid! Thank You Sir! : )
If you think that the city won’t burn if they force Kenny down our throat. You’re crazy. The fans have had enough. They say they don’t care but they will when it gets loud. They did with canada and the Mason chants.
Calm down
Rich fails to mention that both Tommy Cutlets and Tyrod missed time last season due to injuries... Jones sacked 30 times in those 6 games...Every QB who played behind that line got hurt, and was sacked at a record rate...
rich! You're now Persona Nongrada in the Greater Newark Area, oh man
Rich was really pulling at threads here to get a full story. The show could use more special segments or actual analysis during the off weeks
Whats the point? The giants letting Saquon go clearly shows that they're not trying to do anything this year, so why throw more money away on Russ ?
If they trusted Pickett they woulda played him over Rudolph after his ankle healed & with NYG no way he’s winning a SB or 2 next five years there in PIT with the offensive weapons/Defense you have a chance
lol other side of the flying commercial argument is, the giants clearly don't think much of him if they aren't bothering to arrange transportation.
Probably a courtesy stop on his way to Pittsburgh. And it's a MUCH better look for a guy accused of being aloof than flying private.
@@disqusrubbish5467A Private jet would be a bad look. I’m sure he flew first class though!
I think should ride with the young kid and sign a solid rb, there's plenty available
@disqusrubbish5467 yup. And Russell Wilson went out of his way to make sure that everyone knew about it.
As a Giants fan I would be happy to have Russ but I want him to have a chance to win a ring and his best chance is in Pittsburgh
Which really isn't much chance at all, just like the Broncos the Steelers need more than a qb...
Am I the only person who has doubts that a 35 year old who is half a head shorter than some guy in an airport can star again in the NFL?
Well, here's something...
2023
Patrick Mahomes - TDs 27, INTs 14, Passer rating 92.6
Russ Wilson - TDs 26, INTS, 8, Passer rating 98.0
It didn't stop Doug Flutie and his 5'10 frame with the Bills even though he got shafted by Wade Phillips for Rob Johnson.
@@disqusrubbish5467How many interceptions is the Kadarius Toney handicap? [Also how many pick 6's is Toney worth?] I noticed that you neglected to put passing yards in there; but I know why.
This was hysterical...
How come this wasn't being pushed prior, before the media whinning for Pittsburgh to sign Wilson??
😂 shows commitment to the craft!!! 😂
Bo Nix....second highest QB ranking of all the college QBs last year.
Fly through Newark a ton.. Ill take that over Toronto or London any day..
I am from Newark. And I second that motion, Rich!
Was Rusty leading the passengers in calisthenics in the aisles?
If only Wilson - Russ not the cougar hunter - would accept a Robin role to Rodger's Batman.
Even though Russell Wilson can possibly be a backup depending how it goes if he signed to Pittsburgh…
It’s still only the best fit and there are way too many reasons because of some revealed connections Wilson has with The Steelers
Hate the title , watching because it is Rich Eisen , giving facts , pausing to let us absorb info , treating it like everyone deserve respect !,,
I always think of Newark International Airport as Moon-Base Alpha
First off , you get a thumbs 👍up from me for the Space 1999 Reference. I've never been to Newark international airport but if it looks like Moonbase Alpha can it really, be that bad?
Russ was at his best when had LOB and a strong running game. Last year Russ only won one game when Denver’s defense didn’t force more than two turnovers in a game. Russ has and will probably always need to play with a strong defense. He needs to go to Pittsburgh to salvage his career.
"Russ was at his best when had LOB and a strong running game."
Isn't this true of every QB?
I'm Steelers fan since 1972..WE DONT WANT WILSON!
I actually think Russell Wilson wants to go to the Raiders, he will have josh jacobs, rb, Adams wr and a good online with a good defense, but this is the real reason Revenge Russ wants revenge for what the Broncos did to him.
If only the Broncos would treat me so poorly, by giving me $165 million guaranteed
I just hope the team that takes him knows the drama that will follow....
The Giants have had interest in Wilson for years, even before Jones.
Yes they did.
CJ called it!!
He only wants to go where he thinks he can win a Super Bowl. That rules out the Giants.
Please please please NY get him and pay him ALL THE MONEY
Good stuff as always! 😂
OMG what the hell is the new soap opera as the Russ World Turns. Lets talk about how every team is an imaginary fit for Chef Russ. Which team is up next?
What's the over under on Arron getting hurt at home in NJ in the 1st 4 home games in 2024 ?
welcome to Pittsburgh!!
Russell Wilson to the Giants makes sense as the veteran QB presence that Joe Schoen wants for his rebuild. It might not make sense for RW if he wants to win now. The Giants have to get more playmakers on both sides of the ball. I would sooner bring RW here as opposed to trading up for a rookie QB and losing draft capital. It also means the Giants can take all the time in the world to make sure Jones is healthy and ready to come back. No need to rush his healing process. Tommy D gets to watch an experienced championship QB show him differently.
yeah EWR is a dump. I still use it when I go to Manhattan though because it takes forever from JFK unless it's 4am (which I have done; it's really fast with no traffic)
I think we need a new name for that play. The replacement refs will forever be the Fail Mary, Packer vs Seahawks. This should be the Hell Mary because it wasn’t just a fail, it was literally a play from hell.
Packers fans have heard fail mary before.
Nice going, cueball
Danger Witch to the Steelers!!!
I’ll take Russ, focus on building receiver core and the O line as Russ would be basically playing for free. DJ can be a decent back up.
Goes to show you how everyone who came on this show was wrong. Everyone said Pittsburgh wasn't even considering bringing in another QB
yes pls 3:00
richie is just a giants fan and a dream lol reminds me of broncos country about oh 2 years ago or something
2:07 no good fortune for the Jets since 1969
He was talking with the Steelers for hours. I feel like that’s a clear indication he has more interest with the steelers
Yes! Great fit for the Giants!!!
Hey, @RichEisen my Seattle RW#3 to my bff's DB, to now my Seth Myers PS!!???
My man out here acting like Jesus, y'all know Jesus would've flown spirit just sayan
Russell Wilson is definitely an upgrade over Tyrod behind DJ. They paid DJ to be a starter and he'll start next year if healthy.
Stop off at Primanti Brothers, then come back.
You won a chip in this stadium, win your Respect back in this stadium.
NY.
Patriots should ask to have a chance with Russell Wilson meeting.
Why do people talk about Daniel Jones like he's a starting QB?
Because he's the one with the huge contract..
There are much worse airports than Newark. Charlotte, Atlanta, and SLC come to mind immediately
Wow...i was sooo thinking the opposite way...my thought..WHY DOESNT RUSS HAVE ..HIS OWN JET!?!?
If he goes to Pittsburgh hes the starter.
This Russell Wilson landing talk is hilarious. I don't know what part of having $85 Million strapped to your back isn't a red flag. He can't see the field you guys. Payton tried to coach around this issue, then Russell Wilson would scramble against the plan and....4th down. The 3rd down and red zone numbers for the Broncos offense were terrible. Stink is on point. Good luck.
Seem like Russell's playing for his Rivals?,... Not a good idea. I hope Russell end up in Pittsburgh, I think Ciara wants New York More. And you know what's going to happen.... Hope I'm wrong. Hope Russell does better than ever!. Got to root for the Underdog. Mr. Wilson was done dirty by the Broncos. Glad I haven't watched football much lately. But had to tune in to this news.
Rich literally never just gets to the point
What's so bad about Newark? TBH, i'm from Europe and only have experience with JFK, but i've considered Newark a few times also.
Wilson will not go anywhere that he would be playing in someone else's shadow. Carolina would work for him. He probably wants Miami. Even in Atlanta he would be compared to Matty Ice. Glendale would probably be OK, he could play when Murray goes down, and still be like the star of the show.
Let me add, look at his wife. Think she wants to be in NYC? Absolutely
Russ said he wants a couple superbowl rings. He should join KC and backup Mahomes. Chiefs need to replace Gabbert and with Denver on the hook for his salary, he could sign for the vet minimum.
I still think Pittsburgh is the better choice over the Giants. That or Atlanta. He's an upgrade over Pickett currently even if he has limitations to his game.
No lie Russ to NYG I didn’t think about but it actually seems once hearing might be a cool fit if they still try get a younger qb under him. Because he’s free to choose and not give up draft capital. And they go for a wr weapon or tackle. And move that bum tackle they drafted to guard
And or pay for some decent receivers in free agency
Dabol doesn’t want a rogue QB that only plays hero ball.
Youd think most teams would take wilson if the didnt have a top 5 qb and if he willing to be a back up every team should be down to put him on their roster
How many guys at that age wreck an achilles and play 4 more years? Me thinks it’s unlikely
I don’t hate Russ but I’m glad he’s out of Denver. Let’s tear it down!
This is the day that guy is supposed to call in and admit Danny Dimes sucks
I don't think Russ should go to a team with arguably the worst offensive line in football. He should bide his time and try to pull a Flacco when a talented team loses their starting QB.
Many think Russ is washed or doesn't have the ability to read. Heck, even the "too short" thing might be the case. For some reason (I am a Seahawks fan), I still want him to succeed. I think he might be able too, but the hope is running thin.
Russ and Atlanta could work very well
💯
I don't mind Newark at all, I've always been through quick.. JFK on the other hand
I said this last week but im a nobody lol
Fantasy Team Name: JORDAN LOVE ME
Calm down Rich, just because the jets shot their load on a busted up QB, doesnt mean we will make the same mistake as the jets, you see we make stupid mistakes, but we can always count on you guys forever being Paulie Walnuts to our Silvio Dante.
