Welcome to Good Morning Football, 3 00:00:26,348 --> 00:00:28,948 Speaker 1: presented by Old Trapper. We are live here in New 4 00:00:29,028 --> 00:00:32,308 Speaker 1: York City. It's Labor Day. It's Monday, September fifth. Thank 5 00:00:32,308 --> 00:00:34,748 Speaker 1: you for joining us. I'm Jamie Urdo, alongside Kyle Brant, 6 00:00:34,748 --> 00:00:38,788 Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, and a Super Bowl champion father of three, 7 00:00:39,068 --> 00:00:44,668 Speaker 1: GQ model Jason mccourse Stependix surgery. You know, it has 8 00:00:44,668 --> 00:00:46,868 Speaker 1: been a wild offseason for sure, and between the league 9 00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:49,788 Speaker 1: altering trade some of those records, setting contracts, there are 10 00:00:49,828 --> 00:00:51,788 Speaker 1: some topics that we just couldn't get to. I mean, 11 00:00:51,788 --> 00:00:53,508 Speaker 1: there's not enough hours in the day. You think that 12 00:00:53,548 --> 00:00:55,188 Speaker 1: there was, I'm Good Morning Football, but there is not. 13 00:00:55,508 --> 00:00:58,108 Speaker 1: So it just three days until kickoff. We have one 14 00:00:58,228 --> 00:01:01,028 Speaker 1: team that we have been thinking about. We just we 15 00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:03,628 Speaker 1: got to give them their air before the season begins. 16 00:01:03,668 --> 00:01:05,988 Speaker 1: We haven't been talking enough about them. So who is 17 00:01:06,028 --> 00:01:09,988 Speaker 1: that team for everybody? Jason? For me, we've talked about 18 00:01:10,148 --> 00:01:14,188 Speaker 1: players on this team, the Baltimore Ravens. The conversation has 19 00:01:14,228 --> 00:01:16,948 Speaker 1: been about Lamar Jackson. He's gonna get as gonna get 20 00:01:16,988 --> 00:01:19,108 Speaker 1: a contract done, and we don't know is dwindling down 21 00:01:19,148 --> 00:01:21,788 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But we haven't talked about how good 22 00:01:21,828 --> 00:01:24,708 Speaker 1: this football team can be. A ton of starters returning 23 00:01:24,748 --> 00:01:27,268 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, signed some guys 24 00:01:27,268 --> 00:01:30,668 Speaker 1: Marcus Williams drafted Kyle Hamilton born in Kyle Fuller to 25 00:01:30,788 --> 00:01:33,308 Speaker 1: kind of show up the secondary where they struggle last year. 26 00:01:33,428 --> 00:01:35,548 Speaker 1: But on the offensive side of the ball, we know 27 00:01:35,588 --> 00:01:37,508 Speaker 1: what Lamar Jackson can do with his feet, We know 28 00:01:37,588 --> 00:01:40,108 Speaker 1: how electric he is, we know how Mark Andrews has 29 00:01:40,228 --> 00:01:44,468 Speaker 1: number one guy. What about Rashad Bateman and Devin DuVernay. 30 00:01:44,748 --> 00:01:47,148 Speaker 1: If those guys can come along and they can take 31 00:01:47,148 --> 00:01:49,628 Speaker 1: the next step and they can open up this Ravens 32 00:01:49,668 --> 00:01:53,428 Speaker 1: passing game, this team can kind of move past what 33 00:01:53,548 --> 00:01:55,948 Speaker 1: they've struggled with the last few seasons. They haven't been 34 00:01:55,988 --> 00:01:59,068 Speaker 1: able to win in the playoffs. They've been amazing in 35 00:01:59,108 --> 00:02:01,828 Speaker 1: the regular season. Well, Lamar Jackson's been healthy, He's been 36 00:02:01,868 --> 00:02:04,708 Speaker 1: an MVP. This has been the best team in the AFC. 37 00:02:04,868 --> 00:02:07,708 Speaker 1: We've talked about at different points over the last few seasons. 38 00:02:07,988 --> 00:02:11,548 Speaker 1: But can they get over the hump? Can they win 39 00:02:11,588 --> 00:02:13,868 Speaker 1: that playoff game? Can they get there and be able 40 00:02:13,908 --> 00:02:15,628 Speaker 1: to get the ball down the field. Can they come 41 00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:18,308 Speaker 1: back from behind? We saw Lamar Jackson do a verse 42 00:02:18,388 --> 00:02:20,908 Speaker 1: the Colts, but we haven't seen it enough. So I 43 00:02:20,988 --> 00:02:23,788 Speaker 1: want to see Bateman Duvernet, Bateman being the guy to 44 00:02:23,868 --> 00:02:25,908 Speaker 1: get the ball to DuVernay, being able to open an 45 00:02:25,908 --> 00:02:28,708 Speaker 1: offensive up stretch it downfield, the gadget guy. I think 46 00:02:28,708 --> 00:02:31,068 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, we haven't talked much about them as 47 00:02:31,108 --> 00:02:34,228 Speaker 1: an overall team. They can take that step. Maybe makes 48 00:02:34,228 --> 00:02:36,388 Speaker 1: the money. They've had Hollywood Brown, since Lamar's got, the 49 00:02:36,548 --> 00:02:38,708 Speaker 1: had Sammy Walkers, they've had Michael Crabtree, and everyone's like, 50 00:02:38,748 --> 00:02:40,988 Speaker 1: they just need a receiver. It's either receiver they got. 51 00:02:41,268 --> 00:02:43,468 Speaker 1: What makes these two suddenly? These are the guys that 52 00:02:43,588 --> 00:02:45,548 Speaker 1: Lamar is gonna suddenly hit and the receiver is gonna 53 00:02:45,548 --> 00:02:47,908 Speaker 1: be a part of it. The receiver position is not 54 00:02:47,948 --> 00:02:49,788 Speaker 1: a big part of the Ravens offense there, it hasn't 55 00:02:49,788 --> 00:02:52,348 Speaker 1: been since Lamar got there. Why are these two guys special? 56 00:02:52,428 --> 00:02:55,028 Speaker 1: DuVernay and shot Bateman is the first round pick? Yeah, 57 00:02:55,148 --> 00:02:57,468 Speaker 1: Bateman flash, I should have started off hurt, but kind 58 00:02:57,508 --> 00:02:59,388 Speaker 1: of showed what he can possibly be in from me. 59 00:02:59,508 --> 00:03:01,668 Speaker 1: It's these two guys with their talent level, but it's 60 00:03:01,708 --> 00:03:04,268 Speaker 1: more about opening the offense and allowing for them to 61 00:03:04,508 --> 00:03:06,748 Speaker 1: have a passing game. You can't just go to it 62 00:03:06,788 --> 00:03:08,708 Speaker 1: when all right. Next thing you know, we're down fourteen 63 00:03:08,828 --> 00:03:10,708 Speaker 1: zip in the third quarter. Now we've got to do 64 00:03:10,788 --> 00:03:13,708 Speaker 1: some things, but no developing it. We've watched Lamar Jackson. 65 00:03:13,788 --> 00:03:15,348 Speaker 1: He can throw the ball. It's not a thing where 66 00:03:15,348 --> 00:03:16,828 Speaker 1: it's just like, oh, all he can do is run. 67 00:03:16,908 --> 00:03:19,748 Speaker 1: I think it's more about them coaching, coordinating style of 68 00:03:19,828 --> 00:03:21,748 Speaker 1: being able to open this off and something giving him 69 00:03:21,748 --> 00:03:23,308 Speaker 1: a chance to get the ball down the field in 70 00:03:23,308 --> 00:03:24,988 Speaker 1: the air. We're all talking fantasy drafts right now. The 71 00:03:25,028 --> 00:03:26,708 Speaker 1: draft that I've done. Richard Bateman is that guy who 72 00:03:26,788 --> 00:03:28,348 Speaker 1: just sits there and no one takes him, and he 73 00:03:28,348 --> 00:03:29,948 Speaker 1: goes round after round. There's so much I known. A 74 00:03:30,028 --> 00:03:32,268 Speaker 1: Raven's wide research looks kind of strange. But let's do 75 00:03:32,308 --> 00:03:34,948 Speaker 1: an experiment here. You want to see Peter's eyes glaze over. Yeah, 76 00:03:35,988 --> 00:03:39,628 Speaker 1: let's talk some Tennessee Titans. Let's go, let's talk sometimes. 77 00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:43,108 Speaker 1: Come on, Peter one seeing last year, Well, that's the problem. 78 00:03:43,188 --> 00:03:45,028 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about the Titans, but 79 00:03:45,268 --> 00:03:48,028 Speaker 1: something about this era of their football. It puts people 80 00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:50,468 Speaker 1: to sleep. They don't have a buzz when you talk 81 00:03:50,508 --> 00:03:53,108 Speaker 1: about them in the media. There's not this big reaction. 82 00:03:53,388 --> 00:03:56,468 Speaker 1: There's not this social media reaction. I've done it before 83 00:03:56,508 --> 00:03:59,228 Speaker 1: at the table and everyone's falling asleep. We're talking about 84 00:03:59,468 --> 00:04:01,108 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to figure out why. Because they have 85 00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,748 Speaker 1: a seminal player and that guy who is unbelievably watchable. 86 00:04:03,908 --> 00:04:07,188 Speaker 1: They have a very fiery, entertaining head coach who was 87 00:04:07,228 --> 00:04:09,228 Speaker 1: the reigning Coach of the Year. They've been in the 88 00:04:09,228 --> 00:04:12,068 Speaker 1: playoffs three straight seasons, and yet you talk Titans on 89 00:04:12,108 --> 00:04:16,908 Speaker 1: TV as anyway? Is it because of Tannehill exclusively? Ryan 90 00:04:16,948 --> 00:04:19,988 Speaker 1: Tannehill is not a terribly charismatic person, but it's a 91 00:04:20,028 --> 00:04:22,148 Speaker 1: comeback player of the Year. And don't tell me his 92 00:04:22,188 --> 00:04:25,828 Speaker 1: playing style is boring. He runs, he takes hits, he's acrobatic. 93 00:04:25,868 --> 00:04:27,748 Speaker 1: I mean it's I can't put my finger on why 94 00:04:27,948 --> 00:04:30,628 Speaker 1: other than they left a terrible taste in our mouths 95 00:04:30,668 --> 00:04:33,268 Speaker 1: last year. That playoff game was really disappointing. It was 96 00:04:33,308 --> 00:04:35,548 Speaker 1: Tannahill shirt with the interceptions. But like, you lose at 97 00:04:35,588 --> 00:04:37,388 Speaker 1: home as the as the one seed and you don't 98 00:04:37,428 --> 00:04:39,228 Speaker 1: get talked about for a year, and yet when you 99 00:04:39,268 --> 00:04:42,028 Speaker 1: come around your division picks this year. The Titans are 100 00:04:42,028 --> 00:04:44,628 Speaker 1: in the playoffs every year? Okay, and what because the 101 00:04:44,708 --> 00:04:47,588 Speaker 1: Colts brought in Matt Ryan suddenly are like, I'm out 102 00:04:47,628 --> 00:04:49,348 Speaker 1: on the Titans. I don't know if I'm too high 103 00:04:49,348 --> 00:04:51,108 Speaker 1: on the Colts, Peter, are you talking about I want 104 00:04:51,108 --> 00:04:55,108 Speaker 1: to talk about the Colt I think the Colts out 105 00:04:55,108 --> 00:04:57,068 Speaker 1: of a bunches off season, whereas the Titans I think 106 00:04:57,108 --> 00:04:58,588 Speaker 1: are going to be an interesting thing to watch with 107 00:04:58,668 --> 00:05:01,388 Speaker 1: Treylon Burks is their number two next to Robert Woods. Like, 108 00:05:01,588 --> 00:05:04,028 Speaker 1: the Colts are basically like, we're a good team. Our 109 00:05:04,068 --> 00:05:07,388 Speaker 1: quarter back stunk the last two weeks. Let's upgrade, Let's 110 00:05:07,388 --> 00:05:10,428 Speaker 1: get Matt Ryan, then let's add some weapons. Nick Cross, 111 00:05:10,468 --> 00:05:12,428 Speaker 1: the safety is gonna be awesome. We're not even talking 112 00:05:12,428 --> 00:05:15,188 Speaker 1: about Stefan and Gilmour at all on this show. And 113 00:05:15,188 --> 00:05:16,508 Speaker 1: he was a former Defensive Player of the Year who 114 00:05:16,548 --> 00:05:19,428 Speaker 1: was a Pro Bowler last year in limited action with Carolina. 115 00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:21,948 Speaker 1: And I love the addition of Unique and Goackway next 116 00:05:21,948 --> 00:05:24,868 Speaker 1: to Buckner and next two of course Shack Leonard. I 117 00:05:24,868 --> 00:05:27,188 Speaker 1: think the Colts like we don't all right? Am I 118 00:05:27,188 --> 00:05:29,548 Speaker 1: picking the Colts from the Super Bowl Candid Lee. I'm 119 00:05:29,588 --> 00:05:31,548 Speaker 1: not on this show. We've got prediction week this week. 120 00:05:31,668 --> 00:05:33,548 Speaker 1: I'm not picking the Colts, but I certainly think they 121 00:05:33,628 --> 00:05:35,468 Speaker 1: deserve a little bit more respect than we've been giving 122 00:05:35,508 --> 00:05:37,148 Speaker 1: them the past few weeks, where they're just a team 123 00:05:37,148 --> 00:05:39,508 Speaker 1: that missed the playoffs. Like, they're full of veterans, they're 124 00:05:39,508 --> 00:05:41,348 Speaker 1: full of talent, and they've got guys that are both 125 00:05:41,388 --> 00:05:43,828 Speaker 1: young and old that are merging as one. I think 126 00:05:43,828 --> 00:05:45,788 Speaker 1: we talk a lot more Titans than Colts, and maybe 127 00:05:45,908 --> 00:05:48,028 Speaker 1: there's Henry because of Henry. It because the Titans and 128 00:05:48,108 --> 00:05:50,468 Speaker 1: a lot more success in recent years, and the Titans 129 00:05:50,508 --> 00:05:52,348 Speaker 1: have earned that spot at the table. Well, it's like 130 00:05:52,388 --> 00:05:54,268 Speaker 1: the Colts are, like you think the Titans under the 131 00:05:54,268 --> 00:05:59,028 Speaker 1: season badly. We did outs. I think you go pound 132 00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:02,348 Speaker 1: for pound between you know, Shack Leonard and and of 133 00:06:02,388 --> 00:06:05,228 Speaker 1: course Quentin Nelson and then Jonathan Like I can listen 134 00:06:05,308 --> 00:06:07,388 Speaker 1: names and names and name, like, there's so much talent 135 00:06:07,428 --> 00:06:09,868 Speaker 1: on that roster, and they added Gilmore and Gockway in 136 00:06:09,908 --> 00:06:11,828 Speaker 1: these rookies. I think the Cults might be really good 137 00:06:11,828 --> 00:06:14,068 Speaker 1: this year, not being the Super Bowl, but we'll be 138 00:06:14,068 --> 00:06:16,348 Speaker 1: talked about. Late in December, Jamie had a list earlier 139 00:06:16,388 --> 00:06:18,428 Speaker 1: in the show of teams that just need football to start. 140 00:06:18,588 --> 00:06:20,468 Speaker 1: We gotta stop talking about that stupid game with the 141 00:06:20,548 --> 00:06:23,228 Speaker 1: Jaguars last year, like the Cults and EDA game so badly, 142 00:06:23,268 --> 00:06:26,428 Speaker 1: and then it's all over. I think my third team, Niners, 143 00:06:26,508 --> 00:06:28,548 Speaker 1: Bills and other cults. All right. So I don't know 144 00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:31,028 Speaker 1: if you guys do this with players, but years ago 145 00:06:31,068 --> 00:06:32,788 Speaker 1: I passed a judgment on a player and I just 146 00:06:32,828 --> 00:06:34,668 Speaker 1: kind of put him in this box, and essentially my 147 00:06:34,748 --> 00:06:36,708 Speaker 1: judgment of him has followed him wherever he has gone. 148 00:06:36,708 --> 00:06:38,748 Speaker 1: And I want to apologize to Jamis Winston because I 149 00:06:38,748 --> 00:06:41,308 Speaker 1: couldn't shake this for a while. And finally, when I 150 00:06:41,348 --> 00:06:43,108 Speaker 1: sat down and think about a team that I haven't 151 00:06:43,148 --> 00:06:44,788 Speaker 1: talked enough about and to look at them in a 152 00:06:44,788 --> 00:06:47,228 Speaker 1: different way, it was the New Orleans Saints, and I 153 00:06:47,308 --> 00:06:49,148 Speaker 1: just I want to give him his due for the 154 00:06:49,188 --> 00:06:52,028 Speaker 1: potential to stop looking at what Jamis Winston has done 155 00:06:52,028 --> 00:06:53,828 Speaker 1: in the past, because it has been up and it 156 00:06:53,868 --> 00:06:55,908 Speaker 1: has been down. It has been a roller coaster for him. 157 00:06:56,068 --> 00:06:59,308 Speaker 1: He has found success and he's also tripped up one 158 00:06:59,388 --> 00:07:01,908 Speaker 1: or two times, let's say, But for somebody to have 159 00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:04,228 Speaker 1: five thousand passing yards in a season in two thousand 160 00:07:04,868 --> 00:07:08,188 Speaker 1: is tremendous. What's not tremendous is throwing thirty interceptions in 161 00:07:08,228 --> 00:07:10,388 Speaker 1: that same year. Denny gets injured. Then he goes into 162 00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:13,028 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, which my goodness, to come in after 163 00:07:13,108 --> 00:07:15,428 Speaker 1: Drew Brees and what he has turned the New Orleans 164 00:07:15,388 --> 00:07:17,628 Speaker 1: Saints into to have to play for a coach that 165 00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:20,308 Speaker 1: is now filling the shoes of Sean Payton and Dennis Allen. 166 00:07:20,548 --> 00:07:23,468 Speaker 1: I mean, the dynamic here, I think is one of 167 00:07:23,468 --> 00:07:26,628 Speaker 1: the more interesting ones across the league. And I think 168 00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:28,868 Speaker 1: one of the things that we're getting on Twitter right 169 00:07:28,868 --> 00:07:30,348 Speaker 1: now about our offensive for He of the Year is 170 00:07:30,388 --> 00:07:32,388 Speaker 1: the fact that none of us picked Chris Olabe and 171 00:07:32,588 --> 00:07:36,148 Speaker 1: how he can make Jamis Winson better, he could be 172 00:07:36,188 --> 00:07:38,508 Speaker 1: a star for the New Orleans Saints. And the fact 173 00:07:38,508 --> 00:07:41,388 Speaker 1: that Michael Thomas has a potential to be Michael Thomas 174 00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:44,388 Speaker 1: once again. All of this at the hands of Jamie Winson. 175 00:07:44,468 --> 00:07:47,268 Speaker 1: And really it was on me for putting this on 176 00:07:47,308 --> 00:07:49,868 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints because I just had Jamis wrapped 177 00:07:49,868 --> 00:07:51,868 Speaker 1: into this what I thought he was going to be 178 00:07:51,908 --> 00:07:53,388 Speaker 1: for the rest of his career, and I needed to 179 00:07:53,468 --> 00:07:56,108 Speaker 1: unpack it. I needed to think more about it, give 180 00:07:56,188 --> 00:07:58,268 Speaker 1: him a blank landscape so he can move forward to 181 00:07:58,268 --> 00:07:59,748 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, and so I wanted to give him 182 00:07:59,788 --> 00:08:01,388 Speaker 1: my two minutes and my thoughts on the side. It's 183 00:08:01,388 --> 00:08:04,948 Speaker 1: funny Saints fans watch the show and they are revocal 184 00:08:04,988 --> 00:08:07,028 Speaker 1: about us not giving them enough love and that we 185 00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:09,068 Speaker 1: don't respect them enough because we're just giving the Bucks 186 00:08:09,068 --> 00:08:11,948 Speaker 1: a division. Jamie. The last two weeks since the Brady step, 187 00:08:12,028 --> 00:08:14,428 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of momentum going towards the Saints. 188 00:08:14,428 --> 00:08:15,868 Speaker 1: And I think you're right. I think the Saints have 189 00:08:15,908 --> 00:08:18,188 Speaker 1: a really good team this year and if it's on, Jamis, 190 00:08:18,188 --> 00:08:20,388 Speaker 1: But are you willing to be the Saints supporter on 191 00:08:20,428 --> 00:08:22,548 Speaker 1: this thing? As we were all talking Brady and drooling 192 00:08:22,548 --> 00:08:24,668 Speaker 1: Oliver Bready, are you the Saints boys at the time 193 00:08:24,708 --> 00:08:26,748 Speaker 1: of the Saints. I'm gonna have to think about that. Good. 194 00:08:26,788 --> 00:08:30,308 Speaker 1: It's a good answer. Trusting Jamis is a big thing. 195 00:08:30,708 --> 00:08:33,228 Speaker 1: It's a big deal. He's very talented. But I was 196 00:08:33,228 --> 00:08:36,028 Speaker 1: reading this really interesting article about he essentially said like, 197 00:08:36,228 --> 00:08:38,588 Speaker 1: I want to pay respect to what Drew Brees did 198 00:08:38,628 --> 00:08:40,148 Speaker 1: and everything, and I know that I'm going to have 199 00:08:40,188 --> 00:08:42,788 Speaker 1: to win to be loved here. To me, that's a 200 00:08:42,948 --> 00:08:46,828 Speaker 1: very excellent understanding of what the Saints fan base demands, 201 00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:48,428 Speaker 1: of what they want from the New Orleans Saints. And 202 00:08:48,468 --> 00:08:50,468 Speaker 1: who set that standard. It was Drew Brees. I just 203 00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:56,468 Speaker 1: won't drink Damis. You know it is prediction week, not 204 00:08:56,508 --> 00:09:00,348 Speaker 1: only here on Good Morning Football, but a cross NFL media. 205 00:09:00,468 --> 00:09:02,508 Speaker 1: You go to NFL dot com right now. There is 206 00:09:02,548 --> 00:09:07,148 Speaker 1: a great article. That article that determines which teams are 207 00:09:07,188 --> 00:09:09,828 Speaker 1: going to win the Super Bowl from all of our colleagues. 208 00:09:09,908 --> 00:09:12,668 Speaker 1: Twenty five of our NFL Network colleagues have already made 209 00:09:12,668 --> 00:09:15,708 Speaker 1: their selections. You can find this article on NFL dot com, 210 00:09:15,748 --> 00:09:19,748 Speaker 1: and five of the twenty five have the Los Angeles 211 00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:24,788 Speaker 1: Chargers hoisting the Limbardy con February Arizona. A fifth of 212 00:09:24,828 --> 00:09:28,788 Speaker 1: our colleagues chose the Chargers, yet not one chose a 213 00:09:28,908 --> 00:09:33,428 Speaker 1: defending AFC champion Bengals. Here's my statement for a segment 214 00:09:33,428 --> 00:09:35,788 Speaker 1: we call we in or we out? The Chargers are 215 00:09:35,828 --> 00:09:39,108 Speaker 1: a safer Super Bowl fifty seven pick than the Bengals. 216 00:09:39,228 --> 00:09:41,908 Speaker 1: Are we in or we out? Jason mccordy, You know, 217 00:09:41,988 --> 00:09:49,028 Speaker 1: schedules come into play here, but you are safer, maybe sexier, 218 00:09:49,308 --> 00:09:51,828 Speaker 1: more free game. If I picked the Chargers and they 219 00:09:51,868 --> 00:09:54,108 Speaker 1: win in I look like an expert. I picked this team. 220 00:09:54,108 --> 00:09:56,428 Speaker 1: I didn't make the playoffs, but that's a hard thing 221 00:09:56,508 --> 00:09:58,588 Speaker 1: to do, not making a plus. And this is a 222 00:09:58,628 --> 00:10:01,428 Speaker 1: team what a ton of talent last year, justin Herberts 223 00:10:01,468 --> 00:10:04,308 Speaker 1: there to receivers, everything they have gone on, Yeah, a ball, 224 00:10:04,628 --> 00:10:06,428 Speaker 1: some guys on defense. The Charges are going to be 225 00:10:06,508 --> 00:10:09,068 Speaker 1: an improved football team. A better football team may make 226 00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,948 Speaker 1: the playoffs. We'll see later on this week, but I'm 227 00:10:12,068 --> 00:10:14,428 Speaker 1: definitely not going with them as a safer pick. The 228 00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:17,508 Speaker 1: Bengals have done it. Joe Burrows there, they have the guys, 229 00:10:17,508 --> 00:10:19,508 Speaker 1: they've shown they have the pedigree to do it. It's 230 00:10:19,508 --> 00:10:21,108 Speaker 1: gonna be hard for the Bengals to do it and 231 00:10:21,148 --> 00:10:23,388 Speaker 1: get back. But if I'm going with a safer pick, 232 00:10:23,508 --> 00:10:25,508 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Bengals on this mone to win 233 00:10:25,828 --> 00:10:28,228 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah, win the Super Bowl. I'm so 234 00:10:28,268 --> 00:10:30,348 Speaker 1: far out on this set. I should be doing this 235 00:10:30,468 --> 00:10:33,668 Speaker 1: answer from the hallway. It's the Bengals, and I get 236 00:10:33,668 --> 00:10:36,308 Speaker 1: it there, everyone's everyone's down on the fact. They're like, oh, 237 00:10:36,388 --> 00:10:38,668 Speaker 1: there's no team that loses the Super Bowl that comes 238 00:10:38,668 --> 00:10:40,308 Speaker 1: back and they're in the Super Bowl and they're Super 239 00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:43,948 Speaker 1: Bowl hangover blah blah blah, No, thank you, not the Chargers, 240 00:10:43,988 --> 00:10:47,428 Speaker 1: not five of twenty five. There's just so many incredible teams. 241 00:10:47,508 --> 00:10:49,828 Speaker 1: I just can't believe there's more peanut butter effect. If 242 00:10:49,868 --> 00:10:52,028 Speaker 1: you will, of how those answers were spread out for 243 00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:54,068 Speaker 1: our colleagues at the NFL. If you can tell me 244 00:10:54,068 --> 00:10:56,188 Speaker 1: that ridiculous stat about teams that have that can't go 245 00:10:56,188 --> 00:10:57,748 Speaker 1: on to the Super Bowl after playing and one you 246 00:10:57,868 --> 00:11:00,548 Speaker 1: can find me one that's ridiculous from the Bengals from 247 00:11:00,548 --> 00:11:02,868 Speaker 1: the season they went to and then to jump from 248 00:11:02,908 --> 00:11:04,788 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty one and what they did do you 249 00:11:04,828 --> 00:11:07,388 Speaker 1: can spin stats any which way you want. And this 250 00:11:07,468 --> 00:11:09,548 Speaker 1: one about the Bengals not being back because they were 251 00:11:09,548 --> 00:11:12,028 Speaker 1: just in the Super Bowl ridiculous. Maybe more ridiculous than 252 00:11:12,148 --> 00:11:15,788 Speaker 1: five of twenty five. Picking the Charger's crazy. I'll go 253 00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:18,428 Speaker 1: thumbs up. There's something that happens. It's very very difficult 254 00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:21,388 Speaker 1: the next year. Psychologically, I think the injury luck isn't 255 00:11:21,428 --> 00:11:22,908 Speaker 1: there like you had at the year before. The schedule 256 00:11:22,948 --> 00:11:25,388 Speaker 1: is harder. That's all very practical, But never mind the Bengals. 257 00:11:25,628 --> 00:11:27,628 Speaker 1: I'm invested in the Charges as well. I'm also gonna 258 00:11:27,628 --> 00:11:29,508 Speaker 1: make a pledge on this show, as pertends to the 259 00:11:29,548 --> 00:11:31,348 Speaker 1: charge we're gonna talk the Chargers a lot. I pledge 260 00:11:31,348 --> 00:11:33,948 Speaker 1: and I vow that I will not talk ratuitously about 261 00:11:33,948 --> 00:11:36,708 Speaker 1: the Chargers past. Why not, that's go to stuff for me. 262 00:11:36,868 --> 00:11:39,908 Speaker 1: That's nonsense. All right, Listen, you want to talk about 263 00:11:39,988 --> 00:11:42,228 Speaker 1: last year seven of twelve games, last year, the last 264 00:11:42,308 --> 00:11:44,508 Speaker 1: year's fine, Last year's the same quarterback coach. I don't 265 00:11:44,548 --> 00:11:48,708 Speaker 1: want to hear about Marty Schottenheimer, Marlon McCree, Philip Rivers. 266 00:11:48,828 --> 00:11:51,268 Speaker 1: That is nonsense. It is so lazy, and I've done 267 00:11:51,268 --> 00:11:53,468 Speaker 1: it before too. Has nothing to do with the guys 268 00:11:53,468 --> 00:11:55,508 Speaker 1: who were there now And if you take all that 269 00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,908 Speaker 1: stuff out, which really justin Herbert was like in junior 270 00:11:57,988 --> 00:11:59,908 Speaker 1: high for that stuff, there's nothing to do with it. 271 00:11:59,908 --> 00:12:02,508 Speaker 1: It's an investment in their future. They're seiling their potential, 272 00:12:02,548 --> 00:12:04,508 Speaker 1: their talent, and I have a lot of respect what 273 00:12:04,588 --> 00:12:06,028 Speaker 1: it likes to what it sprits to get back in 274 00:12:06,108 --> 00:12:09,868 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And it's very difficult, I think, mostly psychologically. 275 00:12:10,068 --> 00:12:11,748 Speaker 1: That's why I'm gonna go with the Chargers. You write 276 00:12:11,748 --> 00:12:13,068 Speaker 1: something on the way up, and I think they're on 277 00:12:13,068 --> 00:12:15,268 Speaker 1: the way up. We shout out the names because we 278 00:12:15,308 --> 00:12:17,548 Speaker 1: do names here, Tom Blair, an editor over at NFL 279 00:12:17,628 --> 00:12:20,068 Speaker 1: dot com, Kevin Patraw, one of our great writers, Mark 280 00:12:20,188 --> 00:12:24,428 Speaker 1: Sessler of the ATN crew, Matt money Smith, and Ladanian Tomlinson. 281 00:12:24,468 --> 00:12:28,428 Speaker 1: Those are your five detect on biases there. Peter likes. 282 00:12:28,868 --> 00:12:31,308 Speaker 1: So Tomlinson is paid by the Chargers. Matt money Smith 283 00:12:31,348 --> 00:12:33,468 Speaker 1: is their radio guy paid by the Chargers. Maybe three 284 00:12:33,548 --> 00:12:36,308 Speaker 1: of the twenty five who we should be talking about. 285 00:12:36,468 --> 00:12:39,348 Speaker 1: That's it. Let's get to the next one here. Fantasy 286 00:12:39,428 --> 00:12:42,108 Speaker 1: drafts are wrapping up over the next few days, and 287 00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:45,348 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of owners in your leagues. But there 288 00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:47,788 Speaker 1: are two that keep on coming up over the last 289 00:12:47,828 --> 00:12:49,988 Speaker 1: few weeks, and they approach all of us on the show, 290 00:12:49,988 --> 00:12:52,628 Speaker 1: and you know them at home. They are the following. 291 00:12:52,828 --> 00:12:57,468 Speaker 1: Number one, I play in five different fantasy leagues. Let 292 00:12:57,508 --> 00:13:00,548 Speaker 1: me tell you about them. And number two, let me 293 00:13:00,588 --> 00:13:02,588 Speaker 1: tell you about my fantasy team every single week and 294 00:13:02,628 --> 00:13:04,148 Speaker 1: who I'm starting and what I have with it. So 295 00:13:04,188 --> 00:13:07,428 Speaker 1: here's my statement, the I play in five fantasy leagues. 296 00:13:07,548 --> 00:13:10,428 Speaker 1: Person is more tolerable then they let me tell you 297 00:13:10,428 --> 00:13:13,228 Speaker 1: about my fantasy football lineup this week? Person, are we 298 00:13:13,308 --> 00:13:16,348 Speaker 1: interwe out? Kyle? It's a lot I play in five 299 00:13:16,388 --> 00:13:19,148 Speaker 1: fantasy les person is worse and the European generals. I'm 300 00:13:19,188 --> 00:13:21,708 Speaker 1: in nine leagues. I'm no, you're not. That's impossible. The 301 00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:23,708 Speaker 1: person might let me tell you a roster that's a classic. 302 00:13:23,748 --> 00:13:25,788 Speaker 1: It always will be a classic, but usually it's accompanied 303 00:13:25,828 --> 00:13:27,868 Speaker 1: by you telling them your roster because you're kind of 304 00:13:27,868 --> 00:13:30,188 Speaker 1: into that. The I play in five leagues thing is 305 00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:32,748 Speaker 1: it's this group of people who are like, I don't 306 00:13:32,748 --> 00:13:35,708 Speaker 1: watch TV, I don't own a TV, I CrossFit, I'm vegan. 307 00:13:35,948 --> 00:13:40,748 Speaker 1: You know, I read like they're I do my cross 308 00:13:41,548 --> 00:13:44,348 Speaker 1: and have my twelve different fantasy leagues. Like they're so 309 00:13:44,428 --> 00:13:47,068 Speaker 1: excited to tell you that. And I also think it's true, 310 00:13:47,148 --> 00:13:49,668 Speaker 1: like we love the fantasy here, we support fantasy. If 311 00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:52,028 Speaker 1: you're in nine fantasy leagues, like, there's no way because 312 00:13:52,028 --> 00:13:53,708 Speaker 1: you don't know that any friends, Like, there's no possible 313 00:13:53,748 --> 00:13:55,788 Speaker 1: way that happens. Three I think should be the max. 314 00:13:55,828 --> 00:13:58,828 Speaker 1: If you're one of these fantasy people. Four you're sending 315 00:13:58,908 --> 00:14:03,068 Speaker 1: five rosters every Sunday, order five waivers to make a 316 00:14:03,148 --> 00:14:06,308 Speaker 1: path to the bathroom. Your fantasy rosters, like in Hoarders, 317 00:14:06,748 --> 00:14:10,268 Speaker 1: come on U nine leagues. So you are sit down 318 00:14:10,268 --> 00:14:12,148 Speaker 1: at the airport bar next to the following guy, and 319 00:14:12,188 --> 00:14:14,068 Speaker 1: he's gonna say one of those two things. I'm in 320 00:14:14,388 --> 00:14:16,828 Speaker 1: on the guy having five rosters more than I am 321 00:14:16,868 --> 00:14:18,668 Speaker 1: in talking to the guy that has one roster. And 322 00:14:18,748 --> 00:14:21,108 Speaker 1: here is why. At least when you have five teams, 323 00:14:21,188 --> 00:14:23,468 Speaker 1: I can derail the conversation to say, like, what are 324 00:14:23,508 --> 00:14:25,988 Speaker 1: your team names? What are the different leagues that you're in. 325 00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:28,908 Speaker 1: I don't want to actually talk about how you're going 326 00:14:28,948 --> 00:14:31,788 Speaker 1: waiver wire tied tight ends in weeks eight and nine. 327 00:14:31,988 --> 00:14:33,708 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about why you had to 328 00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:35,388 Speaker 1: pick this defense because your cousin was going to pick 329 00:14:35,468 --> 00:14:37,588 Speaker 1: him before you. I don't want to hear the execution 330 00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:39,508 Speaker 1: of your roster, and frankly, Kyle, I don't want to 331 00:14:39,508 --> 00:14:41,348 Speaker 1: share mine either, because it's just not how I want 332 00:14:41,348 --> 00:14:43,708 Speaker 1: to make discussion. So I will take the guy that 333 00:14:43,788 --> 00:14:45,828 Speaker 1: has five teams because at least we could talk about 334 00:14:45,908 --> 00:14:48,668 Speaker 1: the dynamics of five and not the actual guys playing, 335 00:14:48,668 --> 00:14:51,348 Speaker 1: because I don't do you want to hear about his 336 00:14:51,388 --> 00:14:56,228 Speaker 1: team lamps? You know, I'd rather hear about Kelly he 337 00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:59,028 Speaker 1: probably tweeted the fantasy name generator, and then at least 338 00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:01,468 Speaker 1: we could talk of circle full back to Kyle over it. Yeah, 339 00:15:03,228 --> 00:15:05,268 Speaker 1: we're looking ahead some of the best matchups in Week one. 340 00:15:05,308 --> 00:15:07,668 Speaker 1: Who has the edge between the Chiefs and the Cardinals. 341 00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:12,788 Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down next. I love that game Twitter, 342 00:15:12,828 --> 00:15:28,548 Speaker 1: I want to reply, we are just days away from 343 00:15:28,588 --> 00:15:30,988 Speaker 1: the games that count, and we can't say it loud enough. 344 00:15:31,188 --> 00:15:32,948 Speaker 1: Let's focus now on a pair of teams from the 345 00:15:32,988 --> 00:15:36,348 Speaker 1: AFC and NFC West. The Cardinals host the Chiefs this Sunday. 346 00:15:36,388 --> 00:15:38,508 Speaker 1: We're gonna dive deeper into this matchup and we're gonna 347 00:15:38,508 --> 00:15:42,308 Speaker 1: fill in the blanks. Ready, yeah, blank, this team will 348 00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:44,708 Speaker 1: win if blank this happens. You got to pick your 349 00:15:44,748 --> 00:15:47,868 Speaker 1: team between Cardinals and Chiefs and tell us how a 350 00:15:48,028 --> 00:15:51,708 Speaker 1: lot of games going there. I know the Chiefs will win. Win. 351 00:15:52,148 --> 00:15:57,108 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes throws three touchdowns this Cardinal secondary. Are you 352 00:15:57,108 --> 00:16:00,788 Speaker 1: talking about Antonio Hamilton's earlier and now he's out? Now 353 00:16:01,028 --> 00:16:04,028 Speaker 1: they trade it for treyvon Mullin. They have Marco Wilson, 354 00:16:04,548 --> 00:16:07,428 Speaker 1: a lot of question marks. Patrick Maholmes has done this 355 00:16:07,708 --> 00:16:11,308 Speaker 1: multiple times games with three plus tds. In those games, 356 00:16:11,308 --> 00:16:14,908 Speaker 1: he's twenty one and seven. I like those percentages. I 357 00:16:15,028 --> 00:16:17,788 Speaker 1: like those odds. On top of that, the conversation has 358 00:16:17,788 --> 00:16:19,908 Speaker 1: been who's he throwing the ball to? Tyreek? Hill has 359 00:16:19,948 --> 00:16:22,588 Speaker 1: gone this and that and blah blah blah. A guy 360 00:16:22,628 --> 00:16:24,508 Speaker 1: that I feel like is going to step up and 361 00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:26,748 Speaker 1: he's gonna catch one of those touchdown passes and it's 362 00:16:26,788 --> 00:16:30,308 Speaker 1: gonna be a reliable receiver from him as Juju smith Schuster. 363 00:16:30,588 --> 00:16:32,388 Speaker 1: This is a guy that we've seen do it for 364 00:16:32,468 --> 00:16:35,028 Speaker 1: the Steelers. He was a thousand yard receiver, as guy 365 00:16:35,148 --> 00:16:38,708 Speaker 1: was talked about all over the league. He's doing TikTok dances, 366 00:16:38,788 --> 00:16:41,628 Speaker 1: He's doing everything you love from a wide receiver position. 367 00:16:41,828 --> 00:16:43,868 Speaker 1: And I think Juju Smith Schuster is going to be 368 00:16:43,868 --> 00:16:47,668 Speaker 1: the guy early on for the Chiefs to step up 369 00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:50,948 Speaker 1: and make plays as other guys come along and build 370 00:16:50,948 --> 00:16:53,348 Speaker 1: that relationship. I'm looking forward to see him Ahomes throwing 371 00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:58,308 Speaker 1: touchdown passes and Smith Schuster receiving him. Grateful is really good. 372 00:16:58,588 --> 00:17:02,068 Speaker 1: I would say the Chiefs will win if they miss 373 00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:05,788 Speaker 1: Tyreek less than the Cardinals miss DeAndre Mots. We got 374 00:17:05,828 --> 00:17:07,588 Speaker 1: a little what did they call the control and the 375 00:17:07,668 --> 00:17:10,828 Speaker 1: variable and so like that, right, we're taking the variable away. 376 00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:14,548 Speaker 1: We're taking for based on reasons of trade and suspension. 377 00:17:14,668 --> 00:17:16,188 Speaker 1: The number one guys are going to be out there, 378 00:17:16,308 --> 00:17:19,668 Speaker 1: and we have spent much time talking about Tyreek and 379 00:17:19,668 --> 00:17:21,268 Speaker 1: how much the Chiefs will miss it. I think Mahomes 380 00:17:21,308 --> 00:17:23,228 Speaker 1: is gonna be Malomes. I think it's gonna be spectacular. 381 00:17:23,268 --> 00:17:25,828 Speaker 1: I mentioned in the Kyler factor because we've gone way 382 00:17:25,868 --> 00:17:27,908 Speaker 1: down the thing that when Kyler was not the same player, 383 00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:29,948 Speaker 1: when DeAndre Hopkins was out last year. I think I 384 00:17:29,988 --> 00:17:31,468 Speaker 1: think Mahomes is gonna get it done. He still got 385 00:17:31,508 --> 00:17:34,028 Speaker 1: Kelsey as is bread and Butter. Who exactly is gonna 386 00:17:34,068 --> 00:17:36,148 Speaker 1: be Kyler Murray's bread and butter because I know it 387 00:17:36,228 --> 00:17:37,988 Speaker 1: was DeAndre. Both of them are not going to be 388 00:17:37,988 --> 00:17:40,748 Speaker 1: out there. It's like these two missing punches in the attack. 389 00:17:40,788 --> 00:17:42,428 Speaker 1: We'll find out who misses the other one more. The 390 00:17:42,468 --> 00:17:45,428 Speaker 1: offenses here are so electric. The quarterbacks are fantastic, but 391 00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:47,348 Speaker 1: you have to disrupt them at some point. And if 392 00:17:47,348 --> 00:17:49,308 Speaker 1: you think Patrick Mahomes is going to have three plus, 393 00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,188 Speaker 1: I think Buddha Baker and the rest of that defense 394 00:17:51,268 --> 00:17:53,828 Speaker 1: they have to go to work if the Cardinals will win, 395 00:17:53,868 --> 00:17:56,028 Speaker 1: if they have two takeaways from the Chiefs in this game. 396 00:17:56,188 --> 00:17:58,308 Speaker 1: Huda Baker had a couple of seasons early on, where 397 00:17:58,308 --> 00:18:00,788 Speaker 1: did you have any interceptions he had two two years ago, 398 00:18:00,828 --> 00:18:03,628 Speaker 1: we had three last year. He is ripe, he is roaming, 399 00:18:03,868 --> 00:18:07,748 Speaker 1: he is to disrupt any defense. But week one you 400 00:18:07,788 --> 00:18:09,988 Speaker 1: could really get under the skin of a Patrick Mahomes 401 00:18:10,228 --> 00:18:12,468 Speaker 1: the chief The Chiefs are seven and six when they 402 00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:14,868 Speaker 1: turn this ball over two or more times, two or 403 00:18:14,868 --> 00:18:17,228 Speaker 1: more times in the last two years, so two takeaways 404 00:18:17,268 --> 00:18:19,028 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals will take it. That's the magic number 405 00:18:19,108 --> 00:18:21,748 Speaker 1: you gotta get. Okay ye, fun matchup here. I mean 406 00:18:22,028 --> 00:18:25,428 Speaker 1: Kingsbury plucked Patrick Mahomes at a white House Station high 407 00:18:25,428 --> 00:18:27,308 Speaker 1: school where known had heard him. It wasn't a recruited guy. 408 00:18:27,308 --> 00:18:30,308 Speaker 1: And Kingsberry's like, I'm giving you the castle at Texas Tech. 409 00:18:30,508 --> 00:18:34,548 Speaker 1: And I think the Cardinals win if if Cliff can 410 00:18:34,588 --> 00:18:37,068 Speaker 1: out do Mahomes and he's got the guns. I mean, 411 00:18:37,148 --> 00:18:40,268 Speaker 1: he's got the guys. You look at the offensive weapons. 412 00:18:40,268 --> 00:18:42,748 Speaker 1: Will there it be Kyler at quarterback? But I like 413 00:18:42,868 --> 00:18:45,428 Speaker 1: Rondel Moore, I think Hollywood Brown, I think James Connor. 414 00:18:45,428 --> 00:18:47,948 Speaker 1: They've got some weapons out there in offense. The Cardinals 415 00:18:47,948 --> 00:18:49,948 Speaker 1: will only win this game if they put up the points. 416 00:18:49,988 --> 00:18:52,108 Speaker 1: They can't. They're not winning this game seventeen thirteen. They're 417 00:18:52,108 --> 00:18:54,868 Speaker 1: winning this game thirty seven, thirty four. That's gonna be 418 00:18:54,908 --> 00:18:57,788 Speaker 1: Cliff drawn it all up and out doing his former protege, 419 00:18:57,868 --> 00:19:00,268 Speaker 1: mister Patrick Mahomes. Are the Cardinals one of those teams 420 00:19:00,268 --> 00:19:02,588 Speaker 1: that without DeAndre Hopkins like they're going to benefit from 421 00:19:02,588 --> 00:19:04,108 Speaker 1: it for a couple of weeks because they're gonna have 422 00:19:04,188 --> 00:19:06,628 Speaker 1: some yeah, because then you know we're getting them back 423 00:19:06,668 --> 00:19:08,468 Speaker 1: week seven, and then it's like, let's go and do 424 00:19:08,508 --> 00:19:10,228 Speaker 1: this now. But we already know we've gotten the reps 425 00:19:10,228 --> 00:19:12,108 Speaker 1: from these guys, and I think Hollywood Brown is going 426 00:19:12,188 --> 00:19:14,668 Speaker 1: to be special for them. Absolutely. Oh man, it's so good. 427 00:19:14,668 --> 00:19:17,628 Speaker 1: It's gonna be so great. Good. Prediction Week. The twenty 428 00:19:17,748 --> 00:19:20,588 Speaker 1: twenty two season picks off on Thursday, and we could 429 00:19:20,668 --> 00:19:23,708 Speaker 1: not be more excited. So before any regular season action 430 00:19:23,748 --> 00:19:25,268 Speaker 1: goes down on the field, we're going to pull out 431 00:19:25,308 --> 00:19:28,628 Speaker 1: all of our biggest predictions for this season every day 432 00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:31,028 Speaker 1: this week. And what has been done Prediction Week a 433 00:19:31,068 --> 00:19:32,748 Speaker 1: lot of pressure because you want to be right. You 434 00:19:32,748 --> 00:19:35,628 Speaker 1: want to be right seven months from now. It's it's intense. 435 00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:38,268 Speaker 1: Earlier in the show, we shared our picks were offensive 436 00:19:38,308 --> 00:19:42,788 Speaker 1: Frookie of the Year already and no overlap. Two wide 437 00:19:42,828 --> 00:19:45,828 Speaker 1: receivers are running back in the New York metro area 438 00:19:45,868 --> 00:19:49,068 Speaker 1: and a quarterback in the and two stealers, two Steelers. 439 00:19:49,068 --> 00:19:50,348 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, 440 00:19:51,588 --> 00:19:54,668 Speaker 1: and essentially one of us will benefit if the other 441 00:19:54,748 --> 00:19:56,108 Speaker 1: one is good. So I kind of like that we're 442 00:19:56,108 --> 00:19:58,268 Speaker 1: tethered together. I had a bulletick. I didn't even pick 443 00:19:58,268 --> 00:20:03,508 Speaker 1: a starter. I said, I don't know if a right exactly. 444 00:20:03,548 --> 00:20:05,148 Speaker 1: So now we're going to to the other side of 445 00:20:05,148 --> 00:20:07,748 Speaker 1: the ball for our defensive Rookies of the Year and 446 00:20:07,828 --> 00:20:11,068 Speaker 1: Peter once again all the honors staring us off. Do 447 00:20:11,108 --> 00:20:14,588 Speaker 1: you guys know the sport water polo? Yep. I'm going 448 00:20:14,628 --> 00:20:18,188 Speaker 1: to take a young man who played water polo at 449 00:20:18,188 --> 00:20:22,028 Speaker 1: a high level before ever learning anything about football. He 450 00:20:22,068 --> 00:20:25,028 Speaker 1: was born in Athens, Greece, spent his first thirteen years 451 00:20:25,028 --> 00:20:28,188 Speaker 1: of his life perfecting the game of water polo, and 452 00:20:28,268 --> 00:20:30,508 Speaker 1: has now become a boiler Maker and is now a 453 00:20:30,628 --> 00:20:36,188 Speaker 1: Kansas City chief. I am taking chiefs pass rutter George Carloftis, guys, 454 00:20:36,948 --> 00:20:42,268 Speaker 1: my defensive rookie of the year. The early returns are incredible. 455 00:20:42,388 --> 00:20:46,868 Speaker 1: Carloftis has been dominant in these preseason games and in practices, 456 00:20:46,908 --> 00:20:49,668 Speaker 1: has really shown, and I think on that defense with 457 00:20:49,668 --> 00:20:53,508 Speaker 1: Frank Clark and Chris Jones and national prime time games, 458 00:20:54,028 --> 00:20:55,428 Speaker 1: he is going to be a name that we are 459 00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:57,188 Speaker 1: going to hear plenty of. And you'll hear that water 460 00:20:57,228 --> 00:21:02,508 Speaker 1: polo story not five times, not ten. Oh when when 461 00:21:02,748 --> 00:21:06,068 Speaker 1: Jim nance goes into the water polo story week one 462 00:21:06,108 --> 00:21:08,828 Speaker 1: against they love the Cardinals, You'll be like, Oh, I 463 00:21:08,828 --> 00:21:10,788 Speaker 1: heard it on Good Morning Football on Monday, And I 464 00:21:10,828 --> 00:21:14,668 Speaker 1: don't blame Jim Natz. There's a lot to love about George. 465 00:21:14,748 --> 00:21:17,868 Speaker 1: Carloftis the Greek freak, is what they called him in Purdue. 466 00:21:18,108 --> 00:21:19,988 Speaker 1: He is going to bring that to Kansas City. And 467 00:21:20,228 --> 00:21:21,988 Speaker 1: if you watch our show, you know how much I 468 00:21:22,028 --> 00:21:24,388 Speaker 1: love Nick Bolton on that defense, how much I love 469 00:21:24,428 --> 00:21:27,348 Speaker 1: Lagarius Sneat on that defense. They got They got rid 470 00:21:27,388 --> 00:21:29,068 Speaker 1: of a lot of veteran players over the last couple 471 00:21:29,108 --> 00:21:32,308 Speaker 1: of years. Carloftis a first round pick. Big George how 472 00:21:32,308 --> 00:21:36,148 Speaker 1: to Purdue via Athens, Greece. Carloftis defensive rookie the year. 473 00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:41,028 Speaker 1: Let's go Peter for me, I'm going to Duval County 474 00:21:41,228 --> 00:21:46,908 Speaker 1: and with Trey Vam first overall, yes, yes, first overall, 475 00:21:47,108 --> 00:21:49,348 Speaker 1: and a lot of that reason is because who was 476 00:21:49,468 --> 00:21:52,428 Speaker 1: on the other side of him as well. Josh Allen, 477 00:21:52,668 --> 00:21:54,908 Speaker 1: a guy who had ten and a half sack his 478 00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:58,828 Speaker 1: rookie year and has already said he thinks mister Walker 479 00:21:58,908 --> 00:22:01,828 Speaker 1: can be the guy to break his rookie sack Rucker 480 00:22:02,028 --> 00:22:03,948 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of attention will be paid 481 00:22:04,108 --> 00:22:07,348 Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, which will allow tray Vonn Walker to 482 00:22:07,388 --> 00:22:10,428 Speaker 1: be able to have a huge impact for this jag 483 00:22:10,588 --> 00:22:13,348 Speaker 1: Wars defense. And we saw glimpses of it in the 484 00:22:13,428 --> 00:22:16,748 Speaker 1: preseason first one, but he's just driving people out of 485 00:22:16,788 --> 00:22:19,068 Speaker 1: the way. And yes, he is the first overall pick 486 00:22:19,148 --> 00:22:22,068 Speaker 1: and they drafted him there for a reason. So I'm 487 00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:24,788 Speaker 1: excited to see this guy's a physical freak. I'm excited 488 00:22:24,828 --> 00:22:26,708 Speaker 1: to see what he's able to do and how he's 489 00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:28,588 Speaker 1: able to go up there and dominate for the Jacksonville 490 00:22:28,628 --> 00:22:30,708 Speaker 1: Jaguars this year. So I'm on, man, that's a fun pick. 491 00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:32,628 Speaker 1: I love seeing the number one overall. Got to get in. Yeah, 492 00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:34,668 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look what happened last season for one of 493 00:22:34,668 --> 00:22:36,828 Speaker 1: the last time year before we kick off. There are 494 00:22:36,868 --> 00:22:39,548 Speaker 1: certain brands within the NFL that are supposed to be 495 00:22:39,628 --> 00:22:41,548 Speaker 1: right that we hang our head on the Steelers have 496 00:22:41,588 --> 00:22:43,868 Speaker 1: to have a running game, all right, the Niners quarterback, 497 00:22:43,908 --> 00:22:46,028 Speaker 1: it just means something. And I also look at the 498 00:22:46,108 --> 00:22:48,588 Speaker 1: Ravens defense, and with respect to the Bengals lash and 499 00:22:48,628 --> 00:22:51,028 Speaker 1: all the incredible things they accomplished, it was almost a 500 00:22:51,268 --> 00:22:54,668 Speaker 1: shame seeing the Ravens defense get lit up, up and 501 00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:57,628 Speaker 1: down the field by the Cincinnati Bengals, just leaving scars 502 00:22:57,628 --> 00:23:00,428 Speaker 1: and gashes in the Jamar Chase. And the Ravens obviously 503 00:23:00,428 --> 00:23:02,108 Speaker 1: felt the same way because they went out and got 504 00:23:02,108 --> 00:23:04,748 Speaker 1: themselves a rookie safety named Kyle Hamlet, who will be 505 00:23:04,788 --> 00:23:07,668 Speaker 1: the defense rookie of the year, the Notre Dame guy. 506 00:23:07,868 --> 00:23:10,268 Speaker 1: They said, not on this the franchise. We are not 507 00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:12,668 Speaker 1: gonna sit here for the next twelve years and watch 508 00:23:12,708 --> 00:23:15,388 Speaker 1: the Joe Burrow Jamar Chase experience. We're gonna fight fire 509 00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:17,948 Speaker 1: with fire. We're gonna bring in a versatile, hard hitting 510 00:23:17,988 --> 00:23:20,108 Speaker 1: safety in a ballhawk. Here's the thing. You're gonna win 511 00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:22,548 Speaker 1: the defensive Rookie the Year as a safety. You're making plays, 512 00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:26,188 Speaker 1: you're scooping and scoring. You're pick sixteen, you're in the backfield. 513 00:23:26,228 --> 00:23:28,988 Speaker 1: Maybe I understand that the Ravens off the playoff full season, 514 00:23:29,028 --> 00:23:30,628 Speaker 1: but There are two games that will jump off the 515 00:23:30,668 --> 00:23:33,068 Speaker 1: schedule in Kyle Hamilton's rookie season, and it is Week 516 00:23:33,148 --> 00:23:36,788 Speaker 1: five against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week eighteen against the Bengals, 517 00:23:36,788 --> 00:23:38,748 Speaker 1: potentially with a playoff spot on the line. It is 518 00:23:38,788 --> 00:23:40,828 Speaker 1: my belief that in those two games he will win 519 00:23:40,868 --> 00:23:42,908 Speaker 1: the Defensive Rookie of the Year more than any other. 520 00:23:42,908 --> 00:23:45,468 Speaker 1: I like this guy. I love the Ravens took him definitive, 521 00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:47,708 Speaker 1: and it is so helpful to pinpoint the moment that 522 00:23:47,788 --> 00:23:49,748 Speaker 1: you think he will be convincing the people. I want 523 00:23:49,788 --> 00:23:52,468 Speaker 1: to make sure I get this straight. Hey, hey, Aiden Hutchinson. 524 00:23:54,468 --> 00:23:57,148 Speaker 1: Hutchinson is gonna be the defensive Rookie of the Year. Kyle, 525 00:23:57,148 --> 00:23:59,548 Speaker 1: are you okay that you didn't pick your Hard Knocks? 526 00:23:59,668 --> 00:24:02,508 Speaker 1: My goodness, we get the coach of the number two 527 00:24:04,588 --> 00:24:07,668 Speaker 1: defensive end, Aidan Hunchinson for the Detroit Lions. I'm sorry, 528 00:24:07,708 --> 00:24:10,748 Speaker 1: has anybody else not been watching Hard Knocks? What this 529 00:24:11,028 --> 00:24:14,268 Speaker 1: guy does? Get over here, get down here. It's unbelievable 530 00:24:14,388 --> 00:24:17,508 Speaker 1: with the shirt tucked up and the stomach showing and 531 00:24:17,588 --> 00:24:21,268 Speaker 1: the Billy Jean and his family and he's a Michigan 532 00:24:21,308 --> 00:24:23,628 Speaker 1: guy and he's playing for the Lions. I mean, there 533 00:24:23,708 --> 00:24:26,828 Speaker 1: is nothing more perfect, There is no storyline that is 534 00:24:26,908 --> 00:24:30,748 Speaker 1: already pre written. Just hit period, hit send, and you 535 00:24:30,788 --> 00:24:34,228 Speaker 1: are good to go. Than Aidan Hutchinson winning Defensive Rookie 536 00:24:34,268 --> 00:24:36,908 Speaker 1: of the Year. I felt good. I was nervous. A 537 00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:38,948 Speaker 1: little Bertie told me that none of us had overlapped 538 00:24:38,988 --> 00:24:41,708 Speaker 1: oh perfect and our picks, and I was shocked. But 539 00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:43,868 Speaker 1: I guess you just become so convinced of about early 540 00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:45,948 Speaker 1: on there just you think everybody else is going that way. 541 00:24:46,068 --> 00:24:49,148 Speaker 1: No one picked our guy, Sauce either. I thought Sauce 542 00:24:49,228 --> 00:24:51,828 Speaker 1: Gardner would be a pick, especially from our defensive back. 543 00:24:51,868 --> 00:24:57,908 Speaker 1: But nolot, did you guys read this step that? I 544 00:24:57,908 --> 00:24:59,748 Speaker 1: think it was five of the last six years a 545 00:24:59,828 --> 00:25:02,388 Speaker 1: Big ten player has won Defensive Rookie of the Year 546 00:25:02,508 --> 00:25:04,748 Speaker 1: and an end an SEC guy. It's like two in 547 00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:07,108 Speaker 1: the last ten years of like that. So I stuck 548 00:25:07,148 --> 00:25:09,548 Speaker 1: with the Big Ten and karloftis yeah, I know. Well, 549 00:25:09,588 --> 00:25:11,588 Speaker 1: we always do these these hard Knocks recaps and we're 550 00:25:11,588 --> 00:25:13,628 Speaker 1: talking about the funny antics and all that, but every 551 00:25:13,628 --> 00:25:16,228 Speaker 1: single week we're like, oh my god, Hudson looks amazing. 552 00:25:16,308 --> 00:25:18,748 Speaker 1: Look like he's Reggie White in practice. We'll see I 553 00:25:18,788 --> 00:25:21,148 Speaker 1: think the battle between those two who went number one, 554 00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:25,508 Speaker 1: surprise maybe to some Travon Walton the sure thing. Yep, 555 00:25:25,748 --> 00:25:27,988 Speaker 1: it'll be fascinating to track. But here's my thing about 556 00:25:28,108 --> 00:25:30,108 Speaker 1: I thought about karloftis a little bit, but I thought 557 00:25:30,148 --> 00:25:32,228 Speaker 1: about those the offenses he was going to have to 558 00:25:32,228 --> 00:25:33,948 Speaker 1: go up against in the FC West, and kind of 559 00:25:33,988 --> 00:25:36,708 Speaker 1: considerably the same thing for Kyle Hamilton. Not that the 560 00:25:36,788 --> 00:25:39,228 Speaker 1: NFC North is any walk in the park, but if 561 00:25:39,348 --> 00:25:41,548 Speaker 1: a Hunchinson can have a moment against Aaron Rodgers and 562 00:25:41,628 --> 00:25:44,308 Speaker 1: think tis a rush to pass it, all those those 563 00:25:44,428 --> 00:25:47,428 Speaker 1: they're going to be throwing the ball touch. This thing 564 00:25:47,868 --> 00:25:50,308 Speaker 1: is the Michael Jackson thing. He's gonna be like moonwalks 565 00:25:50,308 --> 00:25:53,948 Speaker 1: after he sax Rodgers and all that kid and everything. 566 00:25:54,068 --> 00:25:56,708 Speaker 1: It's kind of cool. I know. All right, We're gonna 567 00:25:56,748 --> 00:25:58,908 Speaker 1: keep the predictions rolling all week long, so make sure 568 00:25:58,908 --> 00:26:01,028 Speaker 1: you tune in every day to see who we're picking, 569 00:26:01,308 --> 00:26:03,908 Speaker 1: hold us accountable and tell us why we're wrong, where 570 00:26:03,908 --> 00:26:06,508 Speaker 1: we're right. Big categories this season. So tomorrow we're gonna 571 00:26:06,508 --> 00:26:09,348 Speaker 1: break down which teams we think are making the playoffs 572 00:26:09,748 --> 00:26:31,348 Speaker 1: this It's tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day. Okay, it's time 573 00:26:31,388 --> 00:26:35,348 Speaker 1: for Who's in your lineup? Presented by Capital One Auto Navigator, 574 00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:37,948 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers will travel to Chicago in Week 575 00:26:37,948 --> 00:26:40,068 Speaker 1: one to take on Justin Fields and the Bears. And 576 00:26:40,068 --> 00:26:42,708 Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about fantasy is that set your lineup 577 00:26:42,748 --> 00:26:45,668 Speaker 1: and maybe it's a game, maybe you're from Charlotte and 578 00:26:45,708 --> 00:26:47,108 Speaker 1: you but you want to watch that game because you 579 00:26:47,148 --> 00:26:49,308 Speaker 1: care about the guys in your lineup. These Week one 580 00:26:49,308 --> 00:26:52,348 Speaker 1: matchups they have fantasy implications. This one in particular, we 581 00:26:52,388 --> 00:26:55,188 Speaker 1: want to ask which fantasy player in this game do 582 00:26:55,228 --> 00:26:57,068 Speaker 1: you care about specifically? And you're want to be watching 583 00:26:57,068 --> 00:26:59,988 Speaker 1: the closest. It's funny. Two segments goes like, I don't 584 00:26:59,988 --> 00:27:02,348 Speaker 1: really care about your fantasy team talking about people. I 585 00:27:02,388 --> 00:27:05,628 Speaker 1: let talking about my fantasy team. I had my draft 586 00:27:05,668 --> 00:27:09,668 Speaker 1: on Thursday, and quarterbacks are slowly trickling off. And there 587 00:27:09,748 --> 00:27:13,548 Speaker 1: was this decision to make Trey Lance or Aaron Rodgers. 588 00:27:13,948 --> 00:27:16,548 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, who I've never seen win a football game 589 00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:19,548 Speaker 1: or do anything spectacular. Aaron Rodgers was four mbps but 590 00:27:19,668 --> 00:27:22,028 Speaker 1: might not be the statistical guy. And I'm like, gosh, 591 00:27:22,108 --> 00:27:25,468 Speaker 1: we really are as a fantasy industry. Given a lot 592 00:27:25,548 --> 00:27:28,308 Speaker 1: of early respect for Trey Lance, what is he gonna be. 593 00:27:28,788 --> 00:27:30,588 Speaker 1: That is what I'm curious about. Is he really going 594 00:27:30,628 --> 00:27:33,228 Speaker 1: to be this running, whirling dynamo and this guy who's 595 00:27:33,228 --> 00:27:35,228 Speaker 1: gonna throw for three hundred yards? Or is this going 596 00:27:35,308 --> 00:27:38,308 Speaker 1: to be a limited playbook to start in which we 597 00:27:38,388 --> 00:27:41,108 Speaker 1: rely on the running game and the defense to get 598 00:27:41,108 --> 00:27:43,588 Speaker 1: this thing done. The fact that Trey Lance is going 599 00:27:43,668 --> 00:27:46,228 Speaker 1: top ten and a lot of these fantasy quarterback rankings, 600 00:27:46,588 --> 00:27:48,188 Speaker 1: it's really putting a lot of faith in a guy 601 00:27:48,188 --> 00:27:50,508 Speaker 1: who we have not seen before. Here he is Week 602 00:27:50,548 --> 00:27:52,748 Speaker 1: one against the Bears. It's not the monsters of the 603 00:27:52,788 --> 00:27:55,188 Speaker 1: midway rope wand will be out there, We're not sure, 604 00:27:55,228 --> 00:27:57,948 Speaker 1: But if it's like stumbling out of the gates, and 605 00:27:57,988 --> 00:27:59,868 Speaker 1: I think, I don't know if he's worthy of being 606 00:27:59,868 --> 00:28:02,708 Speaker 1: a to QB one in this fantasy world which everyone 607 00:28:02,788 --> 00:28:05,068 Speaker 1: is immediately penciling him in for because of his ability 608 00:28:05,388 --> 00:28:07,628 Speaker 1: with his legs, Fascinated to see what he actually looks 609 00:28:07,628 --> 00:28:09,428 Speaker 1: like at quarterback in a NFL regular season game, and 610 00:28:09,428 --> 00:28:11,588 Speaker 1: if he's gonna be the statistical monster everyone just assumes 611 00:28:11,588 --> 00:28:13,588 Speaker 1: he will be. I don't see it just yet. You 612 00:28:13,948 --> 00:28:16,868 Speaker 1: hit it perfectly. It's don't tell me about your fantasy team, 613 00:28:16,948 --> 00:28:18,348 Speaker 1: but if you want to hear about mine, and I'm 614 00:28:18,348 --> 00:28:21,468 Speaker 1: more than willing to tell you. For me, Aaron Donald 615 00:28:21,668 --> 00:28:23,948 Speaker 1: was Aaron Donald and Burrow in Chase. I don't think 616 00:28:23,988 --> 00:28:26,388 Speaker 1: there was a better player pound for pound down the 617 00:28:26,388 --> 00:28:28,588 Speaker 1: Stress last year than Deebo Samuel. I just don't. I 618 00:28:28,588 --> 00:28:31,708 Speaker 1: didn't see a better football player and fantasy it's so fun. 619 00:28:31,908 --> 00:28:34,268 Speaker 1: And we've spent much of the offseason talking about, well, 620 00:28:34,308 --> 00:28:35,588 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be a running back and he 621 00:28:35,628 --> 00:28:37,828 Speaker 1: wants to be a pure receiver. He's come back and said, look, 622 00:28:37,868 --> 00:28:40,068 Speaker 1: I saw that stuff in the media. None of it's true. 623 00:28:40,188 --> 00:28:41,828 Speaker 1: They're going to use him more than ever. It is 624 00:28:41,868 --> 00:28:44,228 Speaker 1: such a fun fantasy player to have because you might 625 00:28:44,268 --> 00:28:47,668 Speaker 1: have thirty six yards rushing seventy nine receiving in a touchdown. 626 00:28:47,868 --> 00:28:50,348 Speaker 1: That's what makes your fantasy Sunday Debo is why you 627 00:28:50,388 --> 00:28:52,748 Speaker 1: show up and set that roster. Trey Lance, we don't 628 00:28:52,748 --> 00:28:54,468 Speaker 1: know what we're getting, Debo. We know what we're getting. 629 00:28:54,468 --> 00:28:57,228 Speaker 1: We're getting innovation, we're getting explosiveness, We're getting a big point. 630 00:28:57,228 --> 00:29:03,428 Speaker 1: The ship two are set in their ways. Let me 631 00:29:03,428 --> 00:29:05,388 Speaker 1: give you a piece of advice. If you want to 632 00:29:05,428 --> 00:29:07,668 Speaker 1: talk about your roster, you have to listen to somebody 633 00:29:07,668 --> 00:29:13,348 Speaker 1: else talking about right exactly. It's sharing, it's communication and 634 00:29:13,388 --> 00:29:15,988 Speaker 1: stearing Justin Fields. And I know a couple of weeks 635 00:29:16,068 --> 00:29:17,708 Speaker 1: or last week, you said the Bears they're gonna win 636 00:29:17,708 --> 00:29:19,428 Speaker 1: a couple of games. They're they're gonna be there, but 637 00:29:19,468 --> 00:29:21,268 Speaker 1: they're gonna be fighting tooth and nail. I think week 638 00:29:21,308 --> 00:29:22,868 Speaker 1: in and week out they'll eat some of those out. 639 00:29:23,068 --> 00:29:24,988 Speaker 1: But the point is they're going to have to rely 640 00:29:25,068 --> 00:29:27,988 Speaker 1: on Justin Fields and his arms and his feet and 641 00:29:28,108 --> 00:29:30,748 Speaker 1: his head and everything that Justin Fields is and why 642 00:29:30,748 --> 00:29:32,548 Speaker 1: they make him good. And you know what that means. 643 00:29:32,788 --> 00:29:34,828 Speaker 1: Fantasy points on top of fantasy points on top of 644 00:29:34,828 --> 00:29:37,508 Speaker 1: face poinds this guy can do it all. And Chicago 645 00:29:37,508 --> 00:29:39,108 Speaker 1: Bears fans have been waiting for him to do it all. 646 00:29:39,108 --> 00:29:42,908 Speaker 1: And fantasy owners, you're gonna see it. Sleeper. Justin Fields 647 00:29:42,908 --> 00:29:45,428 Speaker 1: is a sleeper for you. And if you're gonna maybe wait, 648 00:29:45,748 --> 00:29:48,068 Speaker 1: maybe he's still sitting there. Maybe your draft is Wednesday 649 00:29:48,148 --> 00:29:50,188 Speaker 1: night like mine is. I gotta take a good look 650 00:29:50,188 --> 00:29:51,668 Speaker 1: at this guy. Maybe he's the one that I play 651 00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:53,988 Speaker 1: in a bye week for my starting quarterback because he 652 00:29:54,028 --> 00:29:56,268 Speaker 1: can just rack him up. He will, and at the 653 00:29:56,548 --> 00:29:58,428 Speaker 1: position that the Bears are going to be in every week. 654 00:29:58,588 --> 00:30:00,588 Speaker 1: I think he is right for just trying to fight 655 00:30:00,628 --> 00:30:03,028 Speaker 1: tooth and nail for this team and that produces fantasy points. 656 00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:05,988 Speaker 1: There's a lot of takes. Mike Martz came out of 657 00:30:06,028 --> 00:30:08,028 Speaker 1: his lab recently and he said, I've been looking at 658 00:30:08,028 --> 00:30:10,748 Speaker 1: the Bears offense and it's the least talent I've seen 659 00:30:10,828 --> 00:30:13,908 Speaker 1: on an offense in sixteen lions. He actually really really 660 00:30:13,948 --> 00:30:15,988 Speaker 1: went there, and without due respecting Mike Marks, I don't 661 00:30:15,988 --> 00:30:17,508 Speaker 1: think that's true. I think they have three or four 662 00:30:17,548 --> 00:30:19,668 Speaker 1: really good players, including their running back and their quarterback. 663 00:30:19,708 --> 00:30:21,348 Speaker 1: Who I think is they actually have a really good year. 664 00:30:21,508 --> 00:30:24,548 Speaker 1: Funny you say they're running back. I'm going with David Montgomery. 665 00:30:24,628 --> 00:30:27,388 Speaker 1: Let's go all of this talk about quarterbacks, about the 666 00:30:27,428 --> 00:30:31,228 Speaker 1: wide receiver, which predicated on the quarterback. Hey, let's just 667 00:30:31,308 --> 00:30:33,548 Speaker 1: hand the ball off to a guy that knows what 668 00:30:33,628 --> 00:30:36,028 Speaker 1: to do with it once it's in his hand. David 669 00:30:36,108 --> 00:30:38,908 Speaker 1: Montgomery Reek one. There's always a ton of question marks, 670 00:30:39,068 --> 00:30:41,308 Speaker 1: what is this guy gonna look like? Hey, how are 671 00:30:41,308 --> 00:30:42,948 Speaker 1: they gonna throw the ball? They're gonna get these guys 672 00:30:42,988 --> 00:30:45,348 Speaker 1: on the move, blah blah blah. Hand the ball off 673 00:30:45,348 --> 00:30:48,428 Speaker 1: to the running back. Because they can power through, run around, 674 00:30:48,588 --> 00:30:51,268 Speaker 1: run over guys. The one thing we saw was justin 675 00:30:51,388 --> 00:30:55,348 Speaker 1: fields on the move into preseason. I'm hoping him rolling out, 676 00:30:55,428 --> 00:30:58,468 Speaker 1: moving and doing all of those things, stretches out the defense, 677 00:30:58,668 --> 00:31:02,148 Speaker 1: which will allow Montgomery more yards on the ground and 678 00:31:02,188 --> 00:31:04,508 Speaker 1: putting the ball in the year a little monkey here 679 00:31:04,868 --> 00:31:07,908 Speaker 1: contract year. The Bears are not seeming to be rushing 680 00:31:07,908 --> 00:31:10,148 Speaker 1: to be paying their veterans. This could be his audition 681 00:31:10,268 --> 00:31:12,908 Speaker 1: tape for thirty one other teams and puts up a 682 00:31:12,988 --> 00:31:15,628 Speaker 1: nice fourteen hundred yard season. He'll get paid, and it's 683 00:31:15,628 --> 00:31:17,788 Speaker 1: gonna be hard with that offensive line. But Montgomery's one 684 00:31:17,828 --> 00:31:20,668 Speaker 1: to watch. Something to prove this season exactly cool Week one. 685 00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:23,188 Speaker 1: It's like a cake that you just want. All the layers, 686 00:31:23,228 --> 00:31:27,028 Speaker 1: Fantasy layers. Week one matchups, contracts, injuries up, it's all 687 00:31:27,028 --> 00:31:29,588 Speaker 1: of it. Give it to us. It's prediction week here 688 00:31:29,628 --> 00:31:33,228 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. Here are picks for offensive Rookie 689 00:31:33,228 --> 00:31:35,788 Speaker 1: of the Year. Come on, freest Hall. He could become 690 00:31:35,788 --> 00:31:37,988 Speaker 1: the star of New York. And Kyle and I are 691 00:31:38,028 --> 00:31:40,188 Speaker 1: just ride and dine with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I guess 692 00:31:40,548 --> 00:31:42,788 Speaker 1: all right, and then Jason, I think a little Titans bias, 693 00:31:42,828 --> 00:31:45,428 Speaker 1: but he's going there defensive Rookie of the Year. I 694 00:31:45,468 --> 00:31:47,708 Speaker 1: love that we all had different and we all had 695 00:31:47,748 --> 00:31:51,028 Speaker 1: very different justifications for this. No sauce Gardener, no cave 696 00:31:51,108 --> 00:31:53,228 Speaker 1: on Tibodeau, New York City, very upset with us, Yes, 697 00:31:53,348 --> 00:31:57,148 Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So there we go. It's prediction week. What 698 00:31:57,228 --> 00:31:59,308 Speaker 1: else we have on tap? Coming up? Tomorrow is one 699 00:31:59,348 --> 00:32:02,748 Speaker 1: of the most stressful days of the entire football calendar year. 700 00:32:02,788 --> 00:32:04,788 Speaker 1: On Good Morning Football, we are going to put our 701 00:32:04,828 --> 00:32:07,948 Speaker 1: playoff teams. Yet we talk positively about all thirty two 702 00:32:07,988 --> 00:32:10,188 Speaker 1: teams for about ten months out of the year, and 703 00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:11,708 Speaker 1: now we need to put our money where our mouth 704 00:32:11,828 --> 00:32:15,348 Speaker 1: is and actually put our names on teams. Only seven 705 00:32:15,388 --> 00:32:18,548 Speaker 1: in the AFC, seven in the NFC playoff data nervis 706 00:32:18,748 --> 00:32:22,188 Speaker 1: you you were having a problem with your AFC NFC situation? Yeah, 707 00:32:22,348 --> 00:32:24,468 Speaker 1: some of the some of the divisions are very difficult. 708 00:32:24,468 --> 00:32:26,668 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. The AFC West is very difficult. 709 00:32:26,748 --> 00:32:28,508 Speaker 1: You can't pick them all, and I don't know what 710 00:32:28,548 --> 00:32:30,588 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna be sleep deprived tomorrow. Kids. 711 00:32:30,588 --> 00:32:32,828 Speaker 1: Did we did we confirm that we can pick them all? 712 00:32:32,828 --> 00:32:35,828 Speaker 1: In one of the divisions all but seven teams you 713 00:32:35,828 --> 00:32:37,588 Speaker 1: can and you can't take the Ravens in the Bengals. 714 00:32:37,628 --> 00:32:39,908 Speaker 1: You pick one team from the FC West. If you 715 00:32:39,948 --> 00:32:42,708 Speaker 1: have one, maybe it'll be that. All right, I'm gonna do. 716 00:32:42,788 --> 00:32:45,148 Speaker 1: It's Labor Day.
