Let's start off with the recap 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:57.600 of the off season here, and let's start with the 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.080 forty nine ers parties back, Kittles, warners back. Everybody got extended, 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.880 well maybe everybody for the forty nine ers, but they 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.240 did get a little pillaged in free agency. They lost 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.440 sixteen players. They traded Deebo, Samuel Terrell, Firman Junior. Is 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.319 a lot of turnover in San fran after a disappointing 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.080 Super Bowl loss and even more disappointing twenty twenty four seasons. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.679 So can the forty nine ers regroup with all of 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:21.440 this turnover? 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.440 Well, I mean, I hate to throw you a question 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.200 to you, but you tell me, I feel like we 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.160 would only be doing our listeners a disservice if we 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.400 didn't let the number one forty nine ers hater go first. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:35.920 In this preview. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.600 So you tell me, Joe, matter of fact, I wish 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.600 like if I could control the boxes and everything, I 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.679 just moved me over into your spot and move you 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.600 into my spot. Joe, what do you think about the 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.720 forty nine ers get just completely rifled at free agency 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:49.160 this year? 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:50.640 I don't love it. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.560 I mean, football is a game of continuity, right, I 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.120 think football football is a game of continuity, and the 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.440 teams that have continuity with coach and personnel tend to 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.400 succeed more often than not. Kyle Shanahan's always been a 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:05.760 coach that I think is a little too cute for 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.200 his own good. Sometimes that's just a fact, you know. 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.160 Sometimes some simple, bs boring ass football would win you 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.480 more playoff games. I think if you go back and 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.600 look at some of the tape, I think a healthy 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.959 Christian McCaffrey is really what this team either becomes or 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.079 doesn't become. And my problem is the same problem Bogman 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.720 has when the forty nine ers, which is I don't 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.320 trust them when they tell me injury news. Therefore, I 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.640 find it very difficult to invest in them. I like 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.120 some of the individual talents. I like Kittle, I'm curious 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.799 about Pearsol Juwan Jennings had a really good season. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.680 I'm concerned about Ayuk a little bit. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.280 I think brock Purty is a system quarterback, and sometimes 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.920 that term gets thrown around a little too much for 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.799 my taste. But I think if the shoe fits here, 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:51.239 brock Purty's definitely wearing the system quarterback Nike shoes here today, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.280 and I think that overall there's potential here for the 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.760 forty nine ers to get back on track and win 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.720 this division. I think division isn't super strong outside of 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.920 one other team. So yeah, I think they're a playoff 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.400 possible team. My problem is, Andrew, in your opinion, do 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.560 you think that once again, is the turnover a good 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.720 thing because they had some roster issues and some injuries 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.960 and some age, or do you think maybe it's just 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.840 too much of a refrash year over year. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.519 I think it's tough for the defense in particular. I 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.560 think that was one of the things where because it 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.560 with Shanahan, you expect, Okay, he's going to make this 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.480 offense work like this is an above average offense, as 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.400 long as they can at least be healthier than last year. Again, 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.160 that was one of the reasons why we were fading 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.119 the forty nine ers the froudy nine ers last year 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.120 was because they were really healthy twenty twenty three. And 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.320 we see this every year. The healthiest team does not 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.560 repeat as the healthiest team two years in a row. 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.440 And last year the forty nine ers, I mean it 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.400 was awful. I mean all their guys were getting banged up, 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.280 and I do think that looking at the team this year, 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.480 especially on the offensive side of the ball, they are 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.240 leaning on a lot of their older player. I mean, 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.680 Trent Williams is thirty seven years old and he's their 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.520 best offensive lineman, and when he misses games, they run 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.640 into issues. George Kittle again not super old tight end, 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.160 but still an older player above the age of thirty, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.840 and he's going to have to play a big role 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.520 because there is no there is no debo. Samuel Brandon 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.040 Ayuk is coming off a major knee injury, so there 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.320 are some question marks there. And I think two with 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.440 the forty nine ers, even though they got Robert solid 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.919 back now he's the defensive coordinator, they did invest in 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.640 the defensive line in the NFL draft. Added Bryce Huff. 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.640 I think that one of the things is from a 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.760 betting and value perspective, it's all kind of already baked in. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.560 Their win total is already really really high. People are 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.080 expecting it to be a bounce back. So I agree 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.599 that they will bounce back, but is there a value 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.839 proposition even though they have like the easiest schedule in 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.960 the NFL. I'm excited to kind of break it down. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.640 That's a good point. The schedule helps, Terrell. I'm gonna 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:42.320 put to you this way. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.159 I think Christian McCaffrey is good for a three to 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.320 four game swing. Would you agree with that. If he's 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.800 healthy and he plays every game, you're looking at a 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.920 twelve ish win team. If he doesn't, you're looking at 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.400 a potentially eight or nine win team. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.080 Do you think that's too much of a hotache. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.960 No, I don't. You might be not selling it enough, honest. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.080 I think Christian McCaffrey in tandem with the fact of 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.200 them having the easiest schedule in the NFL, it makes 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.480 us a lot easier to at least be a double 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.279 digit win team despite all the turnover that you have. Now, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.120 Christian McCaffrey will help that go up as far as 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.240 he may, because it's going to make the offense so 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.560 much easier, like it's going to look a lot better 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.039 even though the pieces aren't there in place. So no, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.680 Christian McCaffrey is a big part of this for me. 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.440 But it's also what Ericson just said. They do have 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.279 an easy schedule, and if the team's in front of 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.800 you, you can't do anything with the football, then does it 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.080 really matter if you've lost this much. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.400 No, it's certainly something to discuss, and we'll discuss how 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.960 would back to their win totals in just a moment. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.000 The rams big offseason acquisition was clearly DeVante Adams, which 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.760 I absolutely love. Adams says a lot left in the tank. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.480 Clearly he's an ageless wonder. We saw that last year 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.120 with the Jets, and Pokinaku has been a little fragile 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.159 at times, which means Dvanta Adams can step up and 0:05:58.160 --> 0:05:58.800 be that number one. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:05:59.119 Plus. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.159 I think when you talk out Jared Verst and some 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.479 of the other pieces and that defense last year Andrew, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.000 to me, you're looking at a Rams team that really 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.560 started to figure things out last year kind of got caught, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.160 you know, in the bad weather, in the snow in Philadelphia, 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:13.679 in the playoffs. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:14.080 It's like the. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.200 Last place and situation a team from LA wants to 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.120 be in, and unfortunately things didn't go well for them 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.200 to finish the season. But I think a lot of 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.640 people like me have high expectations for the Rams this year. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.479 What did you think of their offseason and what do 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.800 you think of where they're positioned currently in twenty twenty five. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.599 I still wish that they invested more into their defensive secondary, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.560 but I said the same thing last year and it 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.320 didn't make a difference because they have one of the 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.159 best defensive lines with edge rushers all over the place, 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.120 and that's something that they continue to invest in. We 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.880 want to be upfront, rush the passer, and we'll worry 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.440 about the back end, and if we have to get 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.360 into shootouts, we'll get into shootouts and win those games. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.120 I think just comes down to, you know, Stafford and 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.760 Sehn McCay, are those guys hitting on all cylinders, because 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.880 when they are on, I mean, this team can go 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.840 toe to toe with any team in the NFL. So 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.600 I understand why you want to be bullish, especially we 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.960 add a guy like Devontae Adams who is a double 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.120 digit touchdown machine. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.520 Yeah, and insurance policy. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.960 I think that's really the key because last year when 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.480 Puka went down, Cooper Cup could no longer pick up 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.440 the slack like that was very clear Terrell. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.800 So this is a team that has a lot of 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.360 continuity year over year. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.320 This is a team that all of a sudden turned 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.440 over the page and got younger on defense in twenty 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.320 twenty four and now I feel like they're poised to 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.840 really challenge for the top of this division. I really 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.520 like the Rams this year. To me, I think they're 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.200 the biggest threat to the Eagles in this conference. But 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.080 what's your take on the Rams offseason into the regular season. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.880 I think that I'm very excited, especially on the offensive 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.480 side of ball. I mean, we already kind of know 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.080 how that's going to go, and that can be better 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.400 and they're going to look solid. But the defensive side 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.400 of the ball here, I'm ready to see what does this 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.239 new defense look like under Chris Shula. And then also 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.200 is Jared Versus and Kobe Turner really the real thing? 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.920 Like they've been really, really good really for. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.520 Like the past couple of seasons, honestly, and now you 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.400 have life without Aaron Donald. You have a defense without 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.040 Aaron Donald. You're giving them an identity rather than just saying, hey, 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.920 go out there and play NFL football games. They actually 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.239 are starting to build an identity here. So I'm interested 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.800 to see how this defense plays out throughout the whole year, 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.280 if they get better throughout the year, they figure it out, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.800 if it all comes together, Because if it all comes together, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.480 then yes, the Rams could be one of the best 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.840 teams in the NFC, but right now they have the 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.720 same question mark on defense that I have for the 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:32.320 forty nine ers. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.000 Right now, all right, let's take a look at the 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.079 Seattle Seahawks. 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.640 A roster on offense. To me, Terrell that resembles the 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.360 team that gets auto picked in your fantasy football draft. 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.680 It's just not very exciting. You kind of looking at 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.000 it and go, oh, this is kind of gross. JSN 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.120 has potential, but obviously Sam Donald now the new quarterback. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.960 They also drafted Jalen Milrow to be hopefully their future quarterback. 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.640 We'll see how much we see him this year in 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.160 twenty twenty five, perhaps in some packages, or if Sam 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.480 Donald looks like the Sam Donald of the very end 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.080 of the twenty twenty four slash twenty twenty five season, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.120 perhaps we see Jalen Milroe a little sooner. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.360 A time will tell. 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.520 Tory Horton and I have some expectations for long term, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:11.959 but I don't know how much he's gonna work this year. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:16.560 Cooper Cup obviously coming over, as well as Marquez Valdez Scantling, Terrell. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.120 This is not a team that I'm super excited about defensively, 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.960 they do have some talent, But to me, offensively, I 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.600 think there's a lot more questions and answers. But what's 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:27.600 your thoughts. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.280 I mean, I'm interested to see if this was too 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.959 premature or not, just kind of revamping the entire team. 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.959 Jackson Smith and Jigma is a player that I think 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.600 the continuity of the offense and everything working would have 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.720 only made him better another year. And now it just 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.839 seems like everything flipped around. New quarterback, new wide receiver 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:53.160 on the other side, new offensive coordinator Clint Kobiat coming in, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.520 and it's just like, is Jackson Smith and Jig but 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.160 gonna make things easier for Sam Donald? Because if he 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.480 does it, then Sam Donald's going to have a really, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.400 really tough go at it. This isn't going to be 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.880 just as easy as Kevin McConnell set it up for him. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:10.319 And so with that, I think we're maybe not at 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.840 Jets Sam Donald, but I think it's a lot closer 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.440 to Jet Sam Donald than what he was last year 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.880 for the Vikings. So with that, I have to say, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.600 like Shark Tank, I'm out. 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.440 Okay, he's out. Andrew Erickson, are you willing to make 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.280 any investments in the Seahawks, and after this offseason. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.280 I am not, and I think we're just going to 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.600 see the emphasis on Sam Donald going from basically the 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.080 perfect environment in Minnesota, you're playing indoors, you have all 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.319 the weapons galore, and it's perfect. And now you're going 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.840 to Seattle where what was their biggest issue last season 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.320 their offensive line. This was terrible last season. Now some 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.560 of that was due to injuries. I did invest in 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.240 grays Abel in the NFL Draft this season, but it's 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.720 still a new offense. Between Kobak coming in from the Saints, 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.040 you know, he did, I think get the most out 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.000 of that unit that a lot of people, include myself, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.160 thought in twenty twenty four the Saints offense line is terrible, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.680 and before Derek Carr got hurt, it was actually holding 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.840 up pretty well. So Donald spent time with Kubiak with 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.840 the forty nine ers in twenty twenty three when he 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.880 was the backup, So there is some continuity with what 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.840 the offense can be. But at the end of the day, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.200 when I look at the Seahawks, kind of feel similar 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.360 about the Raiders, where I think in another division maybe 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.400 I'd feel better about them, But I've seen Sam Darnold 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.120 when he's not in the perfect situation. I mean, we 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.640 talk about he's seeing ghosts, but it's real, like, this 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.839 really happens when the situation is not perfect around him, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.960 he crumbles and Seattle despite their best efforts to try 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.320 to put pieces around him. I mean Cooper cup as 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.880 a wide receiver too, man Like, if he's not going 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.520 to be out there and week by week four, then 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.480 how is that going to help you? So those are 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:43.560 my concerns with Seattle. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.280 Let's take a look at the off season for the 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.120 Arizona Cardinals, which basically consisted of signing Josh Sweat and 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.480 getting Marvin Harrison Junior a bowflex. I think those are 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.600 the two things that we basically found out about the 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.600 off season for the Cardinals. Ericson anything you'd like to 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.440 add here about the Cardinals offseason. I know we have 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.160 a swole Rvin Harrison to look forward to, but I 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.679 don't know, man looks kind of like the same thing. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.160 They're just running back from last year and it was 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:09.800 certainly lacking a bit last year. 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.320 Well, I think that you're not giving enough credit to 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.000 the other defensive provement. So you said Josh Sweat, but 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.439 they drafted all defensive players in the NFL draft. That's true, 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.000 was on defense. So they were very clear going in 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.440 and be like, Okay, offense, we feel good about our 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.720 personnel that we have. Everybody just has to improve. Marvin 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.320 Harrison entering year two with Kyler Murray, he can get better, 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.360 he can improve, he's bulked up. But they Walter Nolan, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.360 I think that he's a potential home run pick if 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.880 he has his head on straight. Will Johnson, he was 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.400 viewed as potentially the cornerback one in his draft class, 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.559 had not been for injuries. They also added Dalvin Thomlinson 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.880 defensive tackle in free agency. Darius Robinson, their top pick 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.240 from twenty twenty three. He only played six games last 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.200 year because of an injury. So I think that this 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.000 front seven is going to be way better than it 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.520 was last year because I think last year it really 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.000 was one of the biggest attacking points for the Zara 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.439 Cardinals defense. I think Jonathan Ganda now has the pieces 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.800 that he wants to get more from this front seven 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:09.360 because it was terrible last year. And I think that 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.640 an underrated signing is actually Klais Campbell. You know, bringing 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.920 him back to the team that he started his career with. 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.520 And yeah, he's thirty nine years old, but I think 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.360 that the younger players seeing a guy like Klayis Campbell 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:21.960 in that locker room and being like, this guy has 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.360 been like a legends at the defensive tackle position, and 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.120 if he's out here gutting it out in the fourth quarter, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.920 like I'm a twenty one year old, twenty two year 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.920 old defensive alignment, like, why am I not gutting it 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.280 out too? So I think that he's going to help 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.520 get the best out of this front seven. And the 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.600 other thing with the Cardinals I like too is they're 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.600 playing in all indoor games, most indoor games of any 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.640 team in the NFL in twenty twenty five thirteen games, 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.960 and two of their road games are in forty nine ers, 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.319 So that's in Week three, so you're expecting decent weather. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.080 And then one of them is in Tampa Bay later 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.880 in the season, which should also be decent weather. So 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.480 really they're going to be in very favorable conditions for 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:57.040 their offense. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.400 Klayas Campbell is almost enough to be Walter Nolan's dad, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.080 I mean, just looking at the age numbers there, all right, 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.000 so they did go all in on the defensive side. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.760 But Terrell, do you think they came away with the 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.839 right personnel to make a big difference in the big 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:09.600 leap this season? 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:10.800 I think I did. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.080 I think they do. Like I think that this Cardinals 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.760 team is just I think they have a realm of 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:22.360 possibilities that puts them right there about five hundred and 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.520 that's gonna be enough to get over the wins total. Like, 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.760 I think that they actually could be Okay, the one 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.080 defensive piece that I was looking at that I thought, Hey, 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.320 if this guy goes out there and does everything that 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.040 everybody else has told me he's gonna do, then this 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.920 defense is going to be very much improved. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:37.840 And that's Will Johnson. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.000 It coming over from Michigan, he's a guy that was 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.640 a clear cut first round talent. A lot of people 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.160 told me that, you know, I'm not one of the 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:47.160 Michigan Glazers. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:48.800 I'm not, but they told. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.640 Me that he's a really, really good cornerback and if 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.000 he's healthy, he's gonna make that leap really really quickly 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.800 in the NFL. And I think that, you know, health 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.600 being the only thing that's concerning about him and why 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.280 he fell in the draft that it was a steal 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.560 for the Cardinals. So I think defensively they're gonna be 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.000 a lot better. And this is going to be up 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.320 to again in year three to prove, Hey, I'm a 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.400 defensive head coach, and you give me some very talented pieces. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.560 I can make them all chel and put them together. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.240 The offense, well, we'll see. They'll go as far as 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:18.920 Kyler Kyler Murray wants to take them. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.560 To be honest, that is usually the rub there. Let's 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.720 get into the Arizona win totals.

Over eight and a 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.840 half is minus one twenty. Under is plus one hundred. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.400 I think the under plus one hundred is my favorite 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.320 of these totals. Andrew Erics, let's start with you, Arizona Cardinals. 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.120 Where do you want to live here with the win total? 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.200 I'm gonna take the over over eight and a half 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.240 wins at minus one twenty. Furman hit on it with 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.640 the Arizona Cardinals being around a five hundred team that's 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.440 Kyler Murray. For his NFL career, He's been around eight 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.080 wins every season of his NFL career. That's really been 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.920 his average. So it's gonna come down to the wire problemly. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.920 But the thing with the Cardinals that I like the 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:58.920 most about I think that this is a team that 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.440 you should bet now now because when you look at 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:06.680 their opening schedule Saints, Panthers, forty nine Ers, Seahawks, Titans, Colts, 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.440 and Packers, that's very favorable. And when do we see 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.679 the Cardinals win the most games with Kyler Murray, it's 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:12.920 like September and October. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:13.840 Like this is a team that. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.680 Usually starts fast and then they fall off a cliff 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.480 and that's what happened last year because I bet the 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.440 win total of the Cardinals last year, and I remember 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.239
