Daron Bland

Charles Wood- Mm ... gave up 156.3. Two points from being perfect.

Daron Bland, everybody, 153.3. Tyrique Stevenson, 153.3. And, uh, uh, Keeb, uh, uh, Akeeb, I guess, uh, uh, uh, K- uh, Evans, I don't know where he's from, 142.6.

The Colts gave up- Yeah ... a 2026 first-round draft pick and a 2027 first-round draft pick, and reci- wide receiver AD Mitchell to the Jets for Sauce Gardner.

Mm.

Come and get us defense

... yeah, and it's, it's weird too 'cause DaRon Bland is the ninth highest paid cornerback in football, and, and Bland was on Collins for several of those big plays that he had.

And so you paid this guy to be a top 10 corner who, against a...

I don't know where you put Nico Collins in, in the hierarchy of great receivers in the league.

He certainly doesn't suck, but you wouldn't expect your highest paid guy on defense like that in, in DaRon Bland at, at that position to get abused the way he did.

Freddie Stewart a little bit different probably, coming in off the practice squad, and a guy that...

That's the problem, I think, they had a couple of guys last week that probably shouldn't be in the NFL that played significant [laughs] snaps that were out there.

They were historic in turnovers, like just nonstop.

Micah Parsons, Trayvon Diggs, Deron Bland.

Then once those turnovers disappeared, just like what happened in Atlanta when Dan Queen was the head coach there, it fell apart.

And this is actually a somewhat fear that I have with the Giants right now.

He's not Quinyon Mitchell.

He's, he's a tier below, but a tier below is still two tiers above what you have, 'cause DaRon Bland, God bless him, does a lot of things well.

I just don't think he is a reasonable matchup for the bigger wide receivers in this league who are absolute dudes.

Uh, Bland is not that guy.

It's ...

DaRon Bland's like, "I guess I'm good for my career because I had all those pick sixes and got paid," so ...

It doesn't look like the same guy.

He had it all in o-

No.

No, he doesn't.

Could, could DaRon Bland be a different version of Larry Brown? Larry Brown's happened all in one half of a Super Bowl.

It feels that way.

Yeah.

And it's, it's weird too, 'cause DaRon Bland is the ninth highest paid cornerback in football, and, and Bland was on Collins for several of those big plays that he had.

And so you paid this guy to be a top 10 corner who against a ...

That's the problem, I think.

Like, just nonstop.

Michael Parsons, Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland.

Yeah.

And then once those turnovers disappeared, just like what happened in Atlanta when Dan-

Yeah.

I mean, they purposely tried to get, get him into match-ups against L'Padre Stewart and, and, uh, DaRon Bland.

Bland.

You know, and that was...
