Simon Hunter, Hello, Siman, Hello, Hot, Chad. True, 31 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: really no off season, it really is. It feels like 32 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: every year the off season gets smaller in the NFL. 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: Now it might be down to one week after the 34 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and that's kind of it. It's just so 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: much QB drama, so many moves. It really does never 36 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: end out, which I love because I just love football. 37 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: The NFL is so fucking greedy they cannot give any 38 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: other leads. It's attention. I mean, the NBA is coming 39 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: down to the end of another exciting season. Major League 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: Baseball has players going to the World Baseball Classic, and 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: it's super fun for the players who can actually survive 42 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: a game.

Simon and 72 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: I've been talking about the Bears. I bet the Bears 73 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: at one hundred to one to win the Super Bowl 74 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: the day after the Super Bowl. You've decided to join 75 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: the bandwagon. Welcome to the club, Welcome to the podcast. 76 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, and yeah, I love the Bears 77 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: this year. I mean, you look at this team and 78 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: you got Justin Fields. I don't think there's any quarterback 79 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: in the di vision that's gonna be significantly better than him. Obviously, 80 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: you know you have Cousins. You know, Goff when he's 81 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: at home. But this team not only improved their roster 82 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: drastically in free agency. I mean every player they signed 83 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: was you know, near the top of you know, essentially 84 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: in their prime that they signed. You know, Nate Davis 85 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: was the top twenty guard. You have DJ Moore, Deyonce Forming, 86 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Walker, Billings, Tremain, Edwins, TJ Edwards. I mean, these 87 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: guys were all playing very well last year, so if 88 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: they can carry that over, that's just gonna be a 89 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: massive talent infusion. And then you still got ten draft picks, 90 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: four in the top sixty four. You got the most 91 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: cap space in the league. I really like this Chicago 92 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: Bear team, especially because you look at Green Bay, They're 93 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: not gonna be the same. Minnesota was a bottom six 94 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: team in terms of overall DVO. They won a lot 95 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: of one score games those that usually regresses from one 96 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: year to the next. And then you got Detroit, and 97 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: I think Detroit will be good as well, but Detroit 98 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: is already priced up. You know, everyone's expected I'm gonna 99 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: win a division already, So give me some Chicago all 100 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: of the futures. But I like their Division odds at 101 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: three to one. I really think they are in play 102 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: this year. I think they're set up for now and 103 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: they're set up for the future. Sweet Home Chicago, Simon, 104 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm just giving you a chance to dip, brother. That's 105 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: that's all it is. So tell me you're thinking, because 106 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: I do. I have a very specific question for you 107 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: and for Matt Mitchell, Buffalo Bill superfan Matt Mitchell about Edmonds, 108 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: who Raybund just mentioned, who the Bears signed from the 109 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. But give me your take. Yeah, I'm I'm 110 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: all in on them. I just we when the season ended, 111 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: I knew the Bears were going to be a team 112 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: that the Lion was going to run on, just because 113 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: the pros were going to be all over it. Like 114 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: the public, they're stupid, they'll never kind of understand what 115 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: we're looking at here. Where the same thing as the 116 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: Jags last year? Did I really think the Jaguars are 117 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl when they were at one 118 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one. But me and Chad talked about 119 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: it's all about taking a position of a team that 120 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: we thought they had a good chance and win the division, 121 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: which means they're gonna be a four seed or better 122 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: and they'll be at home in the playoffs, which is 123 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: a great position to hedge on. So it's the same 124 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: thing in the Bears. Here. It's not that it's all 125 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: fallen into place chat, but it's it doesn't get much 126 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: better than it's gone this offseason. You got the MVP, 127 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer Rodgers leaving your division, getting a 128 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: replaced by an unproven kid in Jordan Love. You have 129 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings won the division. Now they're got to play 130 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: a first place schedule. I mean they're losing guys left 131 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: and right as well, the Vikings. So this Bears team, 132 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: everything they've done this offseason has been a positive. They're 133 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: one of the few teams that you know, most teams 134 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: are gonna have a couple nags. They're gonna lose a 135 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: couple of guys. You guys really have anything to lose, right, 136 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: You kind of have had been bare bones, you'd stripped 137 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: everything down, but you had to keep piece and the 138 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: key piece was a rookie that's talented on the rookie 139 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: pay scale at your quarterback position. Now, do we know 140 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: how good of a thrower justin fields is? No, we 141 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: don't well, you know, he's incredible one one aspect of offense, 142 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: which is running, so right there, that was a huge 143 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: advantage for us. And the fact that they've now gone 144 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: out and added a guy like DJ and more chat. 145 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: It's I don't know how Bear fans are taking it, 146 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: but as someone that loves watching DJ Moore's tape, he 147 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: could easily be a top five wide receiver in football. 148 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: And he's young as hell, So that's what I mean. 149 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: There's just you guys have done so much. I think 150 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: Chris nailed on the head of name and all the 151 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: guys you've added this offseason, the defensive side as well 152 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: as the offensive line. It's just all good chat. And 153 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: you still have money to spend. That's the craziest part. 154 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: You still have a couple more moves than make even 155 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: before this draft even happened. So we've seen, like Chad 156 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: talked about, we got them at one hundred and one, 157 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: we got them at eighty to one, we got them 158 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: at seventy to one. They're down in most books now 159 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: have forty to one, thirty five to one to win 160 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And I could still see it keep 161 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: dropping if they keep adding a good piece years. So Hey, 162 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to kind of trying to keep chatting line here, 163 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: but holy shit, the Bears are just killing it right now. 164 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: You don't know how Bears fans feel. We're fucking losing it. 165 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: Like I am trying so hard not to increase expectations 166 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: because I do want to remember, Justin Fields is only 167 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: in the second year of this offense, and the truth 168 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: is they didn't even start implementing the kind of offense 169 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: they're playing in the latter half of the year until 170 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: after that. I think it was weeks six or seven 171 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: against Washington, and so Ann Fields was banged up at 172 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: the end of the year. So he's barely played in 173 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: the offense that they're going to be playing in when 174 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: the year begins. But I will contend that Josh Allen 175 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: was not Josh Allen until he got Stefan Dix. And 176 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: so if to me, Josh Allen is the analog for 177 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, they say Justin Fields is inaccurate, but who's 178 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: he throwing too? And so you give him a top 179 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: flight receiver like DJ Moore, and I think all of 180 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're changing his trajectory and increasing his ability 181 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: to be accurate because you're getting a guy who can 182 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: catch the ball. His catch radius is greater. He's going 183 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: to get to more balls that otherwise would not have 184 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: been caught. So the downside, if I may ray bound, 185 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned Tremaine Edmunds all week. I've been getting that 186 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: from Simon and from Matt Mitchell. This Tremaine Edmunds. Can 187 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: you believe he's only twenty four, He's been in the 188 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: league for ten years already. Blah blah blah blah blah. 189 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: Do you think he's a good player, Yes, yes, he's 190 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: a good player. Now he's a linebacker, and you know, 191 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: live backers are a little tougher to judge sometimes. But 192 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: I think he really took a step forward last year. Now, 193 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: I thought last year was his best year. I didn't 194 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: think he really had a great year until last year. 195 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: But I mean, I think his coverage, his past coverage 196 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: really improved last year. You know, I think he can 197 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: do it all now and if you look at you know, 198 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: and obviously this is not the end all be all, 199 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: but you know, something like PF grades, he was a 200 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: top five linebacker last year, you know, right there, you 201 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: know him and t J. Edwards are both top ten 202 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: guys in their grades, and Tremay and Edmonds had never 203 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: had a grade. I don't even think he was average 204 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: before last year. So a little bit of a one 205 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: hit wonder. But you know the talent is there you 206 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: and you know the tools are there, so you always 207 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: kind of expected him to come into his own. But 208 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of the case across the board for everyone 209 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: the Bear signed. You look at how they graded out 210 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: top of their position, you look at how they were 211 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: playing on tape last year, top of their position. And 212 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: let me just say, why stop with Josh Allen. Why 213 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: don't we compare justin fields to somebody who actually made 214 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: it to a Super Bowl. Jaywen Hurts wasn't Jaywen Hurts, 215 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: So they got a j Brown? So WHOA? Now? Ravens 216 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: just throwing shade at Matt Mitchel and the Buffalo Bills. Look, 217 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: I will contend that the Buffalo Bills window it's closed. 218 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,359 Speaker 1: Like God, they are. They are third in that conference 219 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: behind the Chiefs and the Bengals. Right now, I think 220 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are nipping at their heels. I would be 221 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: very worried if I were a Buffalo Bills fan right now. 222 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell, all I'm seeing right now in the zoom 223 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: as we record this podcast is Matt Mitchell smiling picture 224 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: of photo and I'm very curious to know, like what 225 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: his face looks like for real, but he won't come 226 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: on the video. Simon, you can you laugh when I 227 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: said that about the Buffalo Bills. But I'm down on 228 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: this team right now, and I'm high on Tremaine Edmonds. 229 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: But why are you and Matt Mitchell giving me such 230 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: a hard time about the Tremaine Edmunds signing? Well, I'll 231 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: just bush your balls because it's just so much money 232 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: to give to the kid. I mean, I'm agree. I 233 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: agree with Chris. I think last year was a great 234 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: year for him, but they're paying him if he's gonna 235 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: be an all pro, so now he needs to be 236 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: an approach and that's that's high expectations for the kid. 237 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: But I'm complete out with you on the Bills. I 238 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: think the Bills they're still in the window to me, 239 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: they still got all the key pieces there. Josh Allen 240 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: was hurt, like that's why people are taking a lot 241 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: of shots to Josh Allen from last year. You can 242 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: go back and watch the film. He changed his throwing 243 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: style just because he was laboring on that elbow. So 244 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: the Bills. If this is how a lot of people 245 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: feel like Chad does, this is the dream. If you're 246 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: a Bills fan, Like last year, I should on mL season, 247 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: not because I wanted to, just because of no world 248 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: should they have been the favorites to win a Super Bowl. 249 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: They're an unimproven team that the public just fell in 250 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: love with because they felt like they were unlucky. This 251 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: is even better. You want the public to be add 252 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: on them. So as someone that wants to bet the Bills, 253 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: I hope the public feels like that like the Chad does, 254 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: and maybe they start owing two and I can get 255 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: them at fourteen to one or fifteen to one to 256 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and that tough AFC. So to me, 257 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: the Bills, that will be a buy low if if 258 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: people feel this way, because I'm with Chad. The people 259 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: like the New Toys and the Jets. When they get Rodgers, 260 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: they're going to be the all hype team. I mean, 261 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: we're seeing there at fourteen to one now the Jets 262 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: are fourteen to one. So that's just one of those 263 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: things where the public is really stupid. They kind of 264 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: like the New toy and the Jets in that division, 265 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna be the new toy. And I'm again I 266 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: don't want to shoot on the Bills too hard, but 267 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: Chad's not too far off. Their window is closing very 268 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: quickly here, so I think this year, maybe next year, 269 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: maybe they will be when the window closes. But I 270 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: still think they're tolling out of I still put them 271 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: as a top three, top two team in the AFC. 272 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: What do you think of my Bill's hot take, Raybun, 273 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: I think that when you look at the Bills a vacuum, 274 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: you say they didn't get better any off season. But 275 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bengals got better. I think the 276 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: Bengals got worse, and I think the Chiefs got worse. 277 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a wash there. And then you 278 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: got the Jets. But first of all, the Jets are, 279 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: like Simon said, they're already way too over priced. I mean, 280 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: I went back and looked at the Packers odds entering 281 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: the season after Rogers was coming off his MVPs over 282 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and they were twelve to 283 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: one and twenty to one. So the Jets of fourteen 284 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: to one and Aaron Rodgers coming off pretty much his 285 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: worst season of the last ten really pretty much of 286 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: his career. I mean, I think last season was worse 287 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: than even some of those ones in the you know, 288 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: before he won the MVP, he was kind of falling off. 289 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: So I think the Jets are way over priced and 290 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: just going back, you know, with Evans and the money 291 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: they're paying them. You could do that when you got 292 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: your quarterback on a rookie deal and you got the 293 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: most cap space in the league. You know, linebacker is 294 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: not a premium position, but if you want to make 295 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: sure to you know, to to that that you're good 296 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: at that position, you could throw money at it when 297 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: you got a quarterback on a rookie deal and and 298 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: kind of what the Bears have. So they're kind of 299 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: a unique situation where I don't think some of these moves, 300 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, would work for another team, but for the Bears, 301 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: I think they work a lot more. When linebackers get 302 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: to Chicago, they transform into monsters. That is just the 303 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: way it goes. That is history, fellas. Let the old 304 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: guy teach you a little bit about history. Treman Edmunds 305 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: will be in All Pro this year because he will 306 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: be the latest in the pantheon of the monsters of 307 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: the Midway? Are we not even We're not even going 308 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: to give any love to uh to Edwards a better 309 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: linebacker the two. I mean, as good as Edmunds was 310 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: last year, Edwards is. You know, he's been doing this though. 311 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: I'm so excited about Edwards. Like to me, they have 312 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: in one fell swoop and expensive swoop, the Bears have 313 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: rebuilt their linebacking corps and solidified the middle of their defense, 314 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: and I think it's outstanding. I think Edwards was a 315 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: phenomenal player for the Eagles last year, a great leader 316 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: player like Simon. You watched him more than I did. Yeah, 317 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: biggest jump by far of anyone the Eagles defense. He 318 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: was kind of a guy that was like, Okay, we'll 319 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: bring in Dean here, we'll draft the kid out of Georgia. 320 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: He'll probably step in some We'll have Edwards just like 321 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: cover linebacker. He was already one of our best tacklers, 322 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: one of the leaders on defense. So I'm glad you 323 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: got paid. I think you guys got him on a 324 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: good deal. Like I think he still was getting paid 325 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: as if you know, prove it again, do it again, 326 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: kind of deal. I love that signing for you guys 327 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: again to two really good linebackers. That should solidify.

Um pretty interesting moves by the Bear defense, 330 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: especially now if Carter might drop Allay down to ninth, 331 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: you get that guy in the middle.

The Bucks got a 339 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. You know, they got a top five 340 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: pick mid first round.

Speaking of the draft, the 375 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: latest mock I saw that was on Action Network dot com. 376 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: By the way, CJ. Stroud number one, Bryce Young to 377 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: Will Anderson three, Anthony Richardson for Will Levis at seven 378 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. I'm glad to see at least one 379 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: mock draft that has CJ. Stroud as the number one 380 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: overall pick, because it is absurd to me that Anthony 381 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: Richardson or Bryce Young would get love as the number 382 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: one pick. It's not fucking peewee football, okay, and it's 383 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: not a developmental league. So go with a guy who 384 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: you've at least seen enough film on to be able 385 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: to say, oh, yeah, this guy's a legitimate quarterback, and 386 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: I think he's got enough upside here. So I'm like 387 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: that CJ. Stroud is now getting some love at number 388 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: one from the Panthers, Simon, and you're shaking your head 389 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: in the affirmative or the negative. Well, I agree with it. 390 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: I've finally moved CJ at my number one spot. I 391 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: did have Bryce there for a while, then once I 392 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: got into this offseason, I moved him quickly to the 393 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: second round, just because I talked about I don't think 394 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: he has the body for the NFL. So I've I 395 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: kind of moved CG up to one. I've been flipping 396 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: back and forth with him and him and Anthony and 397 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: I agree CJ should be the number one guy. He's 398 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: got the body, he's got the arm, he's got the mind, 399 00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: he's talented. My only knock is, you know, it's just 400 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: there's a couple of things you talk about where you 401 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: don't I get where you're coming from, Chab, but you 402 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: just don't want to finish product. That's the biggest thing 403 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: is you want you want that piece of clay, but 404 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: you want to mold it in your own way. And 405 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: the reason I love Anthony richards Is so much is 406 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: that this kid, he's got everything right now except the brain. 407 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: And a lot of these coaches, once they get your hand, 408 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: their hands on these guys, even if they don't have 409 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: the brain, if they have to have this. I mean 410 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Yes, you could say you went to Duke. 411 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: The kid might be an idiot for all I know, 412 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: but I saw once he got a good coach, the 413 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: coach could take advantage of that athletic ability. He built 414 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: that offense around him. Daniel Jones just had a career 415 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: year and just got paid a shit ton of money. 416 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: And that's what I'm kind of thinking with Richardson where 417 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if Richard is gonna be great in 418 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, but I do know is a kid can run. 419 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: And I knew That's why, you know, when I pitched 420 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: you him at whatever that was fifty to one or 421 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: whatever to be the first pick, I didn't really think 422 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: he was gonna be the first pick. I just thought 423 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: this kid is gonna have an athleticism that's gonna really 424 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: shine in these drills. And it's gonna move up the 425 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: draft board now the team i'm consulting with, I can 426 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: tell you this much. When I pitched him in well, 427 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: whether that was early February, I thought I was gonna 428 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: be fired on the spot. These people looked at me like, 429 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: who the hell is this ter Brownie talking about Anthony Richardson. 430 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: And that's completely flipped where I think now that I've 431 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: talked to these guys were often I think more people 432 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: are coming to this side, and that's why you've seen 433 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: him shoot up this draft board. But if I was 434 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: still if I had the first pick, if I'm trying 435 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: to be safe, right, if I'm if I'm my guy 436 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: like Frank Reich, who's you know, he's dealt with a 437 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: lot of BS over his early coaching career and now 438 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: he's in Carolina, I'd played safe agost CJ. But if 439 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: I was a team like Houston that needed to make 440 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: a big splash, an AFC that has we can say, 441 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: five really good young quarterbacks, it's got to be Richardson. 442 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: He's got the highest upside of anyone in this draft. 443 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: So to me, I still think he should be the 444 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: number two. The only thing with Houston that sucks is 445 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: I think of Houston, the owner's gonna be making that 446 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: decision there. I don't think it's people are gonna be 447 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: pitching to this guy. But I think in the end 448 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: it's it's his decision. And right now, from everything I've heard, 449 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: it seems like it's going to be Bryce. So I 450 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: think that's the wrong way to look at it. I 451 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: think he's looking at like you do, Chad, where you 452 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: want to finish product. You want the guy you know 453 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: that's gonna be good. I do agree Bryce would be 454 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: good in the NFL. I think he can play. I 455 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: just don't think he has an upside of ever being 456 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: a top five guy. He just does not, to me 457 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: have that upside where Richardson does. So it has been 458 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: NonStop back and forth with people with this draft season. 459 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: It's been really fun because you have such polarizing quarterbacks here, 460 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: and you know, I might die in a hill here 461 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: with Auntrew Anthony Richardson. But to me, it was more 462 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: about me just taking a position, like it's not an 463 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: easy hedge. Now if I want to take CJ, I 464 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: can take him now. Whatever it is minus two hundred 465 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: or minus two fifty, you be the first pick. That's 466 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: an easy hedge. If you had richardson a foty to 467 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: one or greater or even ten to one, it's still 468 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: an easy hedge. So to me, that was my whole 469 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: love for him. But I mean, I'm interests here what 470 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: Chris's view is because you know, we just we have 471 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: not seen an Ohio State quarterback workout chat. I don't 472 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: want to shoot on Justin Fields. It just has not 473 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: happened in my lifetime. Now, you could say Joe Burrow did. 474 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow wasn't nothing until he went to LSU. Once 475 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: he got that confidence at LSU, that's what kind of 476 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: changed Joe Burrow, Like, that's what changed his whole playing style. 477 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: That wasn't Ohio State Joe Brow. So that's my big 478 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: weird here chat is just Ohio State. They always have 479 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: a Marvin Harrison junior wide receiver that makes these quarterbacks 480 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: look incredible. Well, I don't know how good these quarterbacks 481 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: really are. So like Justin Fields, I think the kids 482 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: got all this talent in the world. He sister hasn't 483 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: proved in NFL. That's my only paulse the CG. I 484 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: think CJ has got all the talent. I just they 485 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: don't have the history, Like the Ohio State just has 486 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: not produced winning quarterbacks in the NFL and anyone's lifetime. 487 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: Literally we got one hundred years in the NFL here 488 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: and there ain't one Ohio State guy I can think of. 489 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: So that's my biggest pause right now. This Ohio State 490 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: quarterback going one in this draft. Yeah, I mean I'm 491 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: higher on Iceton. I guess you are. I think I 492 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: think he has a high floor and a high ceiling. 493 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean, how many times when people written off guys 494 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: because of their because of their size or whatnot, you 495 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: end up getting some guys that end up being like 496 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame caliber Drew Brees, Russell Wilson at least 497 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: until you know, the last couple of years. So Doug Flutie, 498 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: you know now, So I don't mind Bryce Young at 499 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: number one. It's a good point about the Ohio State quarterbacks. 500 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, especially you know, as the 501 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: game is starting to change. I think it's I think 502 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna start change. I think Justin Fields, you know, 503 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: we talked about how much we love Chicago. Obviously, you know, 504 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is gonna have to play well, and I 505 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: thought he did. You know, I thought he took a 506 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: big step in and just watching him, I mean, you 507 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: could tell get this guy some weapons. I mean, let's 508 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: not forget his wide receivers last year were I mean, 509 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't even remember it was an Ecuonymius, Saint Brown 510 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: and oh man, I can't even name these guys right now, 511 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: like it was mad Byron Pringle, um Nikkill Harry, you know, 512 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: outside of Mooney, it was bad. So um. You know, 513 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: I think I think with you still, you know, if 514 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: if Carolina, I think Carolina might actually go Bryce. Um. 515 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: I think Richardson stilln't play for them as well. But 516 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, whoever gets CJ, I think, you know, the 517 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: team around him is obviously going to be important. I 518 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: think the development is going to be important. But you know, 519 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: looking at Frank Reikan and Carolina, you know, he had 520 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and then it was taken away from him, 521 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: and then ever since then, he's just been playing the 522 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: quarterback roulette. And so I think a guy like Bryce Young, 523 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: a high floor guy, probably is going to appeal to him. 524 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: A guy that you know, kind of like Andrew Luck 525 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: can come in there and and give you some semblance 526 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,719 Speaker 1: of a floor not be as much of a developmental prospect. 527 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: So that's why I think Carolina may actually be leaning 528 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: uh young over Richardson or Stroud. That's just my opinion. 529 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: I know he's never coached, he's never killed your quarterback 530 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: under six three though, Frank Reich, I mean, yes, that 531 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: is true, But I still think Frank Reich is gonna 532 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: look at like height is one variable, right, It's one 533 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: piece of data, right, you know that size is one 534 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: piece of data. There are a lot of you know, 535 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: pieces of data. Every quarterback class is unique. I just think, 536 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, when faced with the choice of these three guys, 537 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: I think that's who he will roll it. I could 538 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: be get wrong, but that that's just my you know, 539 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: early lean as of now, I think Wright goes with 540 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: kind of safe guy and just rich was kind of 541 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: a safe, you know pick for Carolina, even as a 542 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: head coach. I just think that's kind of the route 543 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: they want to go. I don't think they want to 544 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to play games. And like 545 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, with on his pick after they just uh 546 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, traded on his draft capital. So that's just 547 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: my opinion, and I'm not saying it's even right, you know, 548 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's correct, but I'm just saying that, 549 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: knowing Frank right and knowing this organization, I would actually 550 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: have money on Young going to Carolina. I feel like Simon, 551 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: the whole hype thing for Frank Reich, that's a bullshit 552 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: stat Like, how many times has Frank Reich in his career? 553 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: You got to pick a new quarterback every year for 554 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: like four years? Yeah, but but as an assistant coach, 555 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: as a coordinator, as a head coach, he's never been 556 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: in a position to control the players on his roster. 557 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: When he was Yeah, I just told you. He was 558 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: in the Colts. Every year he got to pick his quarterback. Okay, 559 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: but there's there's there's only so many quarterbacks that are 560 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: short anyway, So it's right, like it's just I get 561 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: what you're saying, but no, no, I agree, I agree. 562 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: I agree with that. But what I'm saying is you can't, 563 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: because there's a lack of short quarterbacks in general, just 564 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: you can't necessarily just say, well, because I'll send you 565 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: a of a short quarterback, he will never have one. 566 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: Because the odds are for you could take anybody in 567 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: the league. The odds are they're not gonna have a 568 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: short quarterback because there aren't many of them, Like Frank 569 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: Reich was not in a position to get like Drew 570 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: Brees or Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray. You know, it's 571 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: like there's only so many short quarterbacks in the league. 572 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: I'll send you the clip of him talking about where 573 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: he was. Basically it was him talking about Carson Wentz 574 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: and why he likes that kind of that big body 575 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: because he was the OC when they drafted Wentz and 576 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: he's basically the sole pitch was you want a guy 577 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: that can take the hits because I need a guy 578 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: that can stand in there and make the throws. Do 579 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: you really think Bryce Young can take these hits guys? 580 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I like, I'm trying to shoot 581 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: him the kid too much, because I'm with you, he 582 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: has a ton of upside. It's just we've gone too 583 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: much the other way where it's like this kid who's 584 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: weighing in at one eight eighty five plane weight, it's 585 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: over like three hundred three twenty five laying on top 586 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: of Bryce Young. It's over. So to me, that's why 587 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: I think CJ is a safe pick. It's like I 588 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,959 Speaker 1: don't I hate shooting on Bryce Young because I'm with you, 589 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: Like this kid's tape. He is so good and he's 590 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: so smart. But it's just the body. It's like Hurch 591 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: had the lower body, Wilson had the lower body. This 592 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: kid does not have the lower body in any way. 593 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: I just think we're overthinking it. It's like all these guys, 594 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: like it's not even just a quarterback position. All right, 595 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: but let's go back to some of these other guys 596 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: who we've questioned because of their size, like uh again, 597 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Like these guys, 598 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: Tyler hasn't held up Lamars and held up but okay, okay, 599 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: but but these guys they held up enough for them 600 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: to be getting you know, uh, you know, upers of 601 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar offers. Like it's a relative thing. 602 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: It's like like there's there's about twenty four franchises, twenty 603 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: six franchises in the league that would love to have 604 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray apparently not though apparently not 605 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: my guy. So that's all. It's just in the NFL, 606 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: I think they shifted where they're like, yeah, we want 607 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson type, and now they're kind of moving 608 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: back where it's like do we want that? Like is 609 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: that the future? Because again I just think it's these 610 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 1: hits man availability is the key to football. It's I 611 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: am all for Bryce Young. I think he's gonna be 612 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: a good pro. It's just for me personally. I wouldn't 613 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: touch him because of that. It's just like I just 614 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: have no faith this kid holding up. I don't care 615 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: how much weight gainer he's eating before these combines. He's 616 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: not gonna be playing at two oh five. That's just 617 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: not natural bodyweight for him. So that's my biggest pause 618 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: for them. Again, I hate shitting on the kid. Who 619 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: the fuck am I shitting on a kid who's about 620 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: to be the second pick or first pick in the 621 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: NFL draft. But that's just part of my job where 622 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: it's like I'm pitching to this team right now, please 623 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: stay away from him, and the owners looking at me 624 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: like I fucking like, Bryce Young, who the fuck are you? 625 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: So it's tough. It is really tough where it's like 626 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: I can't predict the future, but I can go back 627 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: in time and try to tell people. It's like Miami 628 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: taking too. It was a huge mistake. They should have 629 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: took Herbert. Herbert had the body for the NFL too. 630 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: It didn't That to me would have flipped it right 631 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: there because both them had the same cred entrance coming out. 632 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: They're both really a high level talent the two. I 633 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: got the bump because he was so special on the 634 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: National championship. Herbert really did do much right in Oregon. 635 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: His senior year was kind of a dud. Now we 636 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: look the other way, It's like, yes, Herbert hasn't done 637 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: much in his career, but he's held up other than 638 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: it's getting him crack ribs, he's held up in the NFL. 639 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: And that's my whole thing. It's like these big bodies, 640 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: the reason these guys hold up were the little guys. 641 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: They really don't. I feel you. I just feel like 642 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: there's everyone has the potential to get injured, and especially 643 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. It's hard to evaluate and find 644 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: guys who can play. And I I just know Bryce 645 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: young to play, like I'll figure out everything else, Like 646 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: because I get like we talked about a lot of 647 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: these teams with elite quarterbacks, guys are missing games anywhere, 648 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: so right, that's just my philosophy. I get it, but 649 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: it's just like I can't I can't get I te 650 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: you that a guy like Richesting could play, you know, 651 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: the way I could were young. So that that's just 652 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: how I look at it. You know, if it was 653 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: if it was kind of more of a toss up, 654 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: I would say okay. But to me, I just think 655 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: I just think Bryce is a little bit more of 656 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: a short thing. But it's it's a philosophical difference. But 657 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: I totally understand. Simon said the key phrase overthinking. He said, 658 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: don't overthink it. I think we have to overthink it 659 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: because otherwise, what are we doing here? It's five fucking 660 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: months until the NFL starts again. If we don't overthink 661 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: it now, we're never gonna overthink it. We are bad 662 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: media people if we don't overthink this. And as a 663 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 1: Bears fan, I find it to be such a relief 664 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: to not have to debate what the Bears are going 665 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,280 Speaker 1: to do because we've settled and we're spending our money wisely, 666 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: and we're making good decisions, and we're gonna win the 667 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl. But let's just say, let's just say there 668 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: are other divisions in the NFC in a couple of minutes. 669 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: We got a couple of minutes because we gotta wrap 670 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: this up, Raybon. We've spent a lot of time talking 671 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: about Carolina. Meanwhile, Atlanta quarterback questions, New Orleans quarterback roster questions. 672 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: What do we do with these two teams in the 673 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: NFC South? So I think New Orleans should be a 674 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: clear favorite for that division. But you know, I won't 675 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: spend too much time on now. Let's just go. Let's 676 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: talk about Atlanta because I think Atlanta is your sleeper 677 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: and not Carolina. Because I think even if Carolina makes 678 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 1: the right choice at quarterback with that number one pick, 679 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: I think Carolina is still a year away. A lot 680 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: of the things that we liked about Carolina aren't the same. Like, 681 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: you know, they don't have Wilkes. They're not playing hard 682 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: for Wilkes anymore. DJ Moore's gone, Ganti Foreman's gone, you know, 683 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: arnold'st like it's it's just a whole news. It's a 684 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: whole new team. And a lot of the guys they 685 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: Carolina signed in free agency are kind of average guys. 686 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: I mean, Deshaun Williams, total Hayden Hurst Sanders like you 687 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 1: know few in replacing more like all these there's these 688 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: are lateral moves at best. Um So, I'm not in 689 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: love with Carolina, but I looked at a team like 690 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: Atlanta signed Jesse Bates, you know, got on your Mata 691 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: on the d line, Bates in the secondary, You get 692 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: Kaden Ellis on the edge. You add another you know, 693 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: a better backup or maybe even you know, bridge quarterback 694 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: in Heinike than Mariota, and you have eight picks in 695 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 1: the draft. The old line, it could be very good 696 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: this year. The offense was already an above average offense 697 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: and it was top three in Russian last year. You 698 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: got good young players at the skill position, so the 699 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: defense is wrote issue with them, and I think they 700 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,760 Speaker 1: started to takes. I mean you got Bates and Terrell 701 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: stars in the secondary. Uh So I think Atlanta, in 702 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: this weak division h is live to win this thing. 703 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: So I love Atlanta. And then and then, uh you 704 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: also go to the West in Seattle. I think it's 705 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: really interesting. Now. Obviously San Francisco's roster is the best 706 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: in that division, but I think it's a rebuilding year 707 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: for the Rams and Arizona as well. Seattle still got 708 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: ten picks in the draft. They got five in the 709 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: top eighty three. They've shown that they can draft well 710 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: in the past, and you know, they already are a 711 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of ahead of schedule, and they have a solid 712 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: roster that you know, if they hit on you know, two, three, 713 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 1: four of those picks and of those you know five 714 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: in the top eighty three, Uh, this Seattle team is 715 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna be looking very good as well. And I think 716 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: they cau be, you know, be a legit playoff contender, 717 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: not just a team that is kind of relying on 718 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: other people to get in. So Atlanta and Seattle are 719 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: two teams that I think are are undervalued in NFC. Simon, 720 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: you have two minutes to respond, Well, I'll just do 721 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: a real quick so I can give ut my picks. 722 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 1: I think it's I think both teams are a fun upside. 723 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: Like to me, Atlanta is a fun upside of division 724 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 1: that we have no clue. Like anyone that comes confident 725 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: they have a clue what's gonna happen in the South, 726 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 1: Who the hell knows? Like that that division is such 727 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: a train wreck. Of course, the Saints should be favorite, 728 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: but I just don't know what I'll do with that division. 729 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are a great sleeper team. It's the forty 730 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: nine is gonna be the darling of everyone. Everyone thinks 731 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: they have three quarterbacks right now that could be the 732 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: starter for that team. So it makes sense we were 733 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: gonna be heavy on them. But Seattle is a fun 734 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: team with a ton of draft picks, and they believe 735 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: in genos. So I love where Chris is coming from 736 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: on those two picks. What are your picks that you 737 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: want to talk about? Just real quick. People are asking 738 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: me for an update on divisional bets I made this 739 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 1: past week. I bet Cleveland at plus four hundred plus 740 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: four fifty to win the North AFC New North. It's 741 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: it's just a Lamar bet. It's honestly a little more bet. 742 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: I think the vibes are so bad now I think 743 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: Lamar might be leaving town or if he stays, I 744 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: just don't like what's going on there with Baltimore and 745 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 1: on the other side of since I think Chris talked 746 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: about earlier in the show that they haven't gotten better 747 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: since it they've actually gotten worse from last year. So 748 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: to me, they're a team that kind of seems like 749 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: taking a step back where the Browns they're gonna have 750 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: that easy schedule, with that last place schedule, and they're 751 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: gonna be in a division now the full off season 752 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: with you know, a guy that I know people don't 753 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: like Watson, but before all this BS Watson was a 754 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: top five guy. So to me, I'm banking on Watson 755 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: getting back to form with an offense put around him. 756 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 1: I just like the value there. And I can't believe 757 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: I'm saying that, Chad, But I like what Dallas has done. 758 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: I like the moves Dallas is made. I think people 759 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: are too in on the Eagles too, and on the 760 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: Giants kind of forget about this Dallas team. I saw 761 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 1: them reached plus two hundred last week and a couple 762 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 1: of books to win the NFC East. That's too high, 763 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: That's way too high. I think the Eagles have gotten worse. 764 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: The Giants had made a couple of improvements, enough improvements 765 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: that they should be, you know, closest to the Cowboys 766 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: and Eagles. I don't know about that. So to me, 767 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are kind of for dead. People have the 768 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: bad takes in their mouth. I'll dak ended the playoffs. 769 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: They don't believe in them. I'm with you. I'm not 770 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: betting them to win the Super Bowl. I will not 771 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: do that. But a plus two hundred to win the 772 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: NFCAST in the division that we just see it every 773 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: year has a turnover. The same team hasn't won it 774 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: in over twenty years back to back. So just have 775 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: plus two hundred plus one seventy five. I would take 776 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: that now in Dallas if you're looking for a nice 777 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: little bed here on anfcast team. Guys, that was spirited. 778 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see who ends up being the 779 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: number one overall. Pick Peter Scronsky from Northwestern. I feel 780 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 1: like that's our long shot and it will just blow 781 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: everybody out of the water. People will not believe that 782 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: a Northwestern tackle was taking number one overall. But listen, 783 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,439 Speaker 1: we all know Frank Wright doesn't like short quarterbacks and 784 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: he you know, wants to mold his own guy. So 785 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: that eliminates Bryce Young and CJ. Shrouds. So you know, Raybon, listen, Raybon, 786 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: We're going to see you this weekend because we got 787 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 1: this big event that Mad Hatter in Hoboken, New Jersey. 788 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: People should go to uh action network dot com.
