8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: voice here. That's a that's a bold statement, hands hands down.

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: If I had his voice, I wouldn't be working. I

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: would be at home countryside place in Italy all the

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: way to the TV. Yes, a little little little town

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: outside Palermo. That was me for BIA actually, and I

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: made it all the way here. Well, listen, Matt money Smith,

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: we don't pay him anything for that, by the lab,

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't free. Seriously, if I had his voice, I

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: would be one of those guys that it like the

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: ten seconds of v O a day in his underwear

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: in the studio in the basement and then cash the checks.

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: Do have a pretty manly voice that that world. You're

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: you're very kind, thank you, But his voice, I mean,

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: I might have made a couple of All Star Games.

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: He is going to Canton. Don't sleep on the old

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: juicer here. Listen, I'm working my back. I'm trying my hardest,

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: but you could go to sleep on it. But you know,

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: give me a few years. Like Matt money Smith, he

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: must been training underground multiple hours a day. Like one

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: year into the podcast, I came home one night, and

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: we've told this story before, but my wife was just

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: like I. Finally she listened to a show. Her only

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: comment was Dan's voice voice, what excuse me? I'm also

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: on the show. Well, Simone and I have a very

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: nice relationship. All right. This is the Around the NFL podcast.

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: You know you'll see you can watch us on YouTube.

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: By the way, all two or of the three episodes

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: a week are on YouTube. You could search the NFL

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: channel and then around the NFL playlist, so you could,

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: like right now, if you're wondering, like Andrew's dressed like

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: a like a hot young uncle right now, so you'd

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: be able to see him wearing and realize that we

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: were actually on camera. Yeah, so where where dressed? West

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: is wearing his Homer Simpson outfit. It's just always the

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: same polo shirt every day. By the way, we do

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: have three shades of blue of the NFL, and I

44
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: work Nike, three different shades have aler demanded it. It's

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: the only thing Sessler has ever asked for from the

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: company that he got right away. I didn't get delay

47
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: on anything else. Yes, this is our big Week one

48
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: preview show. There are some first of all tonight the

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: season begins, of course the Patriots and the Steelers, but

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: we also have fifteen games after that. Because Greg there

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: are thirty two teams and he divide that sixteen games.

52
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: Bang nailed it. H So we're gonna get into each

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: of the Sunday games. We're gonna preview all those. Uh

54
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: and that is the big chunk of the show. But

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: we got some news to get to and and of

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: course we're also gonna play Litle We're gonna mix it

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: a little, one of our favorite games. What's more likely,

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: Andrew is gonna be hanging out with us for the

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: top of the show. To Andrew, who is, by the way,

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the host of Around the NFL, the TV show. It's

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: a little confusing. I don't know who came up with

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: all this, but we are was on the TV version today?

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Well Bury the lead. Good job, Andrew,

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: and and he brought jokes, did a great job. It

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: was great because it was Greg. We're gonna get into

66
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Greg's QB index also today, and and it was Greg Verse,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Solly Wolcotts and uh Willcott's former NFL player Verse not

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: he spent well. They were smart to keep us apart.

69
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: I was in the news room, he's in the studio.

70
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: Because if you put me next to him, I can

71
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: be a little intimidating. Yeah, maybe be an unfair matchup.

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Put it this way, like for the first half of

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: the segment, Solomon was looking at Greg like you never

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: played it down in your The funny thing is that's

75
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: actually true. But I thought you made some good point.

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: We'll get into the QB index, and I did like

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: I was getting. You know. We posted on Twitter images

78
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: and video of this, and someone said that you look

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: so tan that you had rolled in some deritos. I

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: did get a lot of comments on the TANF you

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: get the free haircuts, you know, it's you're throwing people

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: under the bus here, people that you love. What did

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: I do? I don't know. Well there, I mean not

84
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: not to go too deep inside the makeup room, which

85
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: is a great show. By the way, if you were

86
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: to have a show with just the makeup room here,

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: that would be the best show here. But different makeup

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: artists can give you more of a tan than others.

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: Everyone has kind of that's true. That's two inside baseball.

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: But it's all it's all part of the whole synergy.

91
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean around the NFL. The show, we're gonna be

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: trying to be a little more part of it. You know,

93
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: they're talking about our content more. It's great to have

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: Andrew here. It's like it's all coming together. This NFL

95
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: one big mish book. Bottom line, the Boss looked relatively

96
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: foxy on this show. I thought he made some relevant points.

97
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: So home run. Behind the glass we have the great

98
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: t D wearing his red arsenal jacket. I plugged into

99
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: football men match United, Sir right, w said, Hey, Man

100
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: United Seahawks. I got it all I'm all about you're

101
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: only allowed to root for e p L teams that

102
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: are owned by NFL. I'm all about Man City because

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm mad for it. That's right. So what do we

104
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: what don't we do? Some news buddy all right, excited

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: a new news animation. Let's do it? To look at that. Alright,

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: this is the news portion of the podcast, and you

107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: know we have its extension. Mania on the eve of

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: a new season will start with Eli Manning, the New

109
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: York Giants quarterback. NFL media insider Ian Rappaport reported Thursday

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: Day that Manning and the Giants are close to finalizing

111
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: a four year, eighty four million dollar extension that could

112
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: be signed as soon as Friday. Uh. This would give

113
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Eli who I know, we've had many a conversation about

114
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: where he fits in the hierarchy of quarterbacks, but this

115
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: would give him an annual salary just below Aaron Rodgers,

116
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: only one million dollars below annually in terms of salary.

117
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: And it is very similar in terms of the structure

118
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: of the deal to the ones that Russell Wilson got

119
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers got. So Eli Manning, you know his agent,

120
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: I guess put it out there. I want to be

121
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: the highest paid quarterback in the league. He got pretty clause. Greg,

122
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't like that these quarterback contracts. Of course, you

123
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: just have to give it to him. You have a

124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, but with someone like Eli Manning, your paying

125
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: for past performance. Well, what are the odds that Eli Manning,

126
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: as he gets later into his thirties, is close to

127
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: is a top ten quarterback. Well, Greg, he's been on

128
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: the borderline of a top ten quarterback better because he's

129
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: throwing Odell Beckham. Now that's fair. And they win the

130
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Undercauflin every five years, and that fifth year

131
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: is this season. So they're they're for the past, and

132
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: what's going to happen in February? Your argument would have

133
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: been stronger. I am, oh, five years ago, but now

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: we got all these guys in their late thirties that

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: are performing well well into their thirties. Well, what do

136
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: you like? You said, what do you? What are you

137
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna do? He's you are paying for past performance. Here's

138
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: what I do. But which, by the way, the quarterback

139
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: position or Eli Manning is not unique in that regard.

140
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Plenty of players, plenty of athletes, and all kinds of

141
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: sports get paid for past performance. Now, Eli was paid

142
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: well certainly leading up to this. He's getting seventeen this year.

143
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: But that's the going rate, and so you lock him in.

144
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: And the better question is if if let's say you

145
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: wanted to let him walk, you can let him walk

146
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: and you tear the whole thing down. But who else

147
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: are you gonna go get. Here's what I'd considered doing.

148
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Let him play out this year. See what the team

149
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: still looks like in a year. Is the same offensive coordinator,

150
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: the same coach is going to be there? Is he

151
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: like going to have a good year and you franchise

152
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: tag him or you work out a new deals next

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: And what's the franchise tag next year? Twenty too, He's

154
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna be really high, so you pay him a lot

155
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: for one year. I'd rather play twenty two than sixty

156
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: five and guarantees or whatever it's gonna be. I think

157
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Eli is a unique case because I don't think he's

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: in the same class as Philip Rivers or even Tony

159
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Romo or Russell Wilson moving forward. I don't think he's

160
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: in that level. He hasn't been throughout. He is a

161
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: guy that hasn't missed a game. I mean, a lot

162
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: of teams that suffer it's because your quarterbacks aren't durable.

163
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: He's done that. He's one you two super Bowls. It's

164
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: not that we love Eli manning on the field from

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: game to game, but I guess they're not that high

166
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: on ryot now, but they're not actually and it's right

167
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: if you've got anyway start over. I mean, that's two

168
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: more years for you like Manny, and then you see

169
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: where you're at the end of And this isn't a

170
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: shot against Gregg as a GM, but you'll be very

171
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: cut throat guy. You're not factoring in how much Eli

172
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: means to the Giants organization. You're looking at it purely

173
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: that he's thirty four and maybe isn't as good as

174
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: ten other quarterbacks or twelve or other quarterbacks. But the

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: bottom line is he has some big time history in

176
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: this organization. Is paying part of the salary? Is that

177
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: whether or not that smart pain like top three quarterback

178
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: throughout his career because he was the number one, Because

179
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: he was number one. I see, I think we get

180
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: caught I know we're doing your list of the quarterback

181
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: rankings later and not to take away from that list,

182
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: and I mean that, but I think we get caught

183
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: up with well as quarterback A better than quarterback B,

184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: because quarterback A got this much money and quarterback B,

185
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: now he's gonna get this much money. It doesn't matter.

186
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: There's a group. Let's say you're ten there's a group

187
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: of ten quarterbacks, maybe twelve, where you say, these guys

188
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: are worth it, whatever it is, whatever the going rate is,

189
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: these guys get paid. Then there's maybe your middle tier,

190
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: maybe your Dalton tier, and then there's everybody else, and

191
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: there's kind of three tier of quarterback and we could

192
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: argue who's better, we could argue whose elite. We can

193
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: compare the number of rings and Super Bowl trophies and

194
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: all this. But if you're in that group, that's what

195
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: you're going to get paid. The Giants have a franchise quarterback,

196
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: and you pay whatever it takes. If you have a

197
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. I think, because you look, I mean, look

198
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: at across town. Do you want to be the Jets.

199
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I think we'll look at a couple of years and

200
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: it'll be questionable whether Eli is in that first group.

201
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: But aren't you the one that always says that you

202
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: have to pay these quarterbacks and listen, bottom line, If

203
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: if Eli Manning melts three years from now, okay, then

204
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: you then you look back and you say, for a

205
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: decade plus you had a franchise guy on the back end.

206
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's that just burning John

207
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: Mayer's money go ahead, John Mayer singer song about that guy. Yeah,

208
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: there's some money in that family. It's not it's not gonna.

209
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: And other extension news, Luke Kickley, the linebacker for the

210
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, has agreed to a five year, sixty two

211
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: million dollar extension. This according to NFL Media's Ran Getlin.

212
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Big deal there. And also Marcel Darius, the defense attack

213
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills, has signed a six year, one hundred

214
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: million dollar deal with the Bills. So he's locked in.

215
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: That's almost in time and consume money. Chris Westling, your

216
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: thoughts on these two signings. I was surprised how much

217
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: Darius got up front. Yeah right, it sounded like forgot

218
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: that suspended and something right. And the guy who's have

219
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: multiple potential Yes, well, I mean let's say this. If

220
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: he's suspended here for a game, that means he is

221
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: quote unquote in the program. That means that there is

222
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: a possibility with another test. And again I'm not trying

223
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: to get into his business nor breach the confidentiality of

224
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: that program, but he could be looking potentially with another

225
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: misstep at another suspension. So clearly the Bills are comfortable

226
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: that mony're comfortable. I think Greg's made this point point before.

227
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: When Rex comes into your building, he gets the general

228
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: manager to do things for him. That is absolutely true.

229
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: And I don't think he wants to enter the season

230
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: with Marcell Darius all hacked off at him and as

231
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: great as their defensive line is, Mario Williams paid a

232
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: lot of money. As he gets further into that contract,

233
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: we'll see, like how long he's there. Kyle Williams is

234
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: in his mid thirties. He's still great, but he's not

235
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: the guy you're giving. Rex thinks they're gonna win a

236
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl now that they're gonna beat the Cold Sunday.

237
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I don't think it's actually have

238
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: you guys, I know we're getting ahead of ourselves. Have

239
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: you guys seen the Colts offensive line? You're gonna get

240
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: to Costanzo here, right, Anthony Costanzo, and there's another one

241
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: four years and forty two. He's the only guy myself,

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: he's the only guy trust for that's been happening to

243
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: the cults for years now, right, So I know Tan

244
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: Tangent here, everyone's picking the Colts for the Super Bowl, right, everybody,

245
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: everybody on the television, regardless of the network, is picking

246
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: the cults for the Super Bowl. I am not in

247
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: any way buying colts. That's it. Move on, I'm sorry

248
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: hands by the way I can. And Polly has been

249
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: suspended as well, just a little bit of bills. How

250
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: does that work? You're not allowed to play, but you're

251
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: suspended anyway. I think that's been a fantastic way to

252
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: be suspended, because normally you'd be losing game checks in

253
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: the practice. Guy, do you get paid like sixty five

254
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: hundred bucks a week or something like that? Call that

255
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: the gray Farmer suspension thinking discount for uber something crazy.

256
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: And finally in the news, Cam Chancellor, of the Seahawks

257
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: safety star safety has been holding out, wants a new deal.

258
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Pee Carl told reporters on Wednesday that he won't be

259
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: playing and Sunday's opening against the Rams. Then Cam Chancellor

260
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this I wonder if this

261
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: stuck it to Ceciliano a little bit. Cam Chancellor reaches

262
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: after Dan Helly, hell you know what, Cam and I

263
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: are both Virginia natives, Maryland native. I you know what,

264
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: Dan got the scoop? Dan Helly starts texting with Cam Chancellor,

265
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: who has not been speaking to the media a lot

266
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: about this. Uh. And Cam tells Helly that the two

267
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: sides are less than a million dollars apart. He doesn't

268
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: want new money, just wants some money moved from seventeen

269
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: to sixteen, just like in advance. And he says that

270
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: this whole thing should not be it should never have

271
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: gotten this far. He calls it petty. So Cam Chancellor

272
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: not in the mix. Uh, Mark, how big a loss

273
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: is that for the Legion of Boo. I mean their

274
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: their secondary's banged up to begin with. And if you

275
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: look at what Chancellor and Earl Thomas mean to that

276
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: cornerback group, I think it's proven that Richard Sherman. Part

277
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: of the reason that Richard Sherman is Richard Sherman is

278
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: because he lines up on the same side of the the ball,

279
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: and you've got Earl Thomas going from boundary to boundary

280
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: and can Chance are one of the best hard hitting

281
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: run stoppers in the league. If I'm making a list

282
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: of important Seahawks, though I don't know if Chancellor he's

283
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: not on the top, might not be in the top

284
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: seven or really you know, I found and I know

285
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: this a little off topic, disrespectfully, I disagree. Fascinating in

286
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the dow Yer Job Show, which was great on NFL

287
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Network and I'm sure they'll be replaying it forever. First

288
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: of all, why wouldn't you. First of all, they showed

289
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick's name for a solid three seconds article. I

290
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: was so proud for Kevin Patrick coming at you. But

291
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: the other thing would really interesting. The number one point

292
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: that the Patriots had going into the Super Bowl in

293
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: terms of their defense was to stop Michael Bennett. That

294
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: was that was the one player they were really worried about,

295
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: and they thought Michael Bennett is the guy that makes

296
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: that team going. And it didn't work at all. Ye,

297
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: I agree, Michael Ben it is a huge but top five,

298
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: top seven. Here's how Cam has been described to me.

299
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: With a defense full of tough guys and occasional knuckleheads,

300
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: right which every good defense has their fair share of

301
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: the above mentioned. One of the Cam Chancellor is the

302
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: alpha dog that keeps them all in line. He is

303
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: the policeman, the leader of that defense, and they're gonna

304
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: miss him. I'm not when I know we're not picking

305
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: games here, but no, Cam Chancellor, Earl Thomas has one arm.

306
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: This game is fascinating to me at least, and the

307
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense beating them there with Kellen Clemens and Austin

308
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: Davis or they're close with Austin. I think they can.

309
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: They beat him last year there with all the triation teams,

310
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: special teams, John Fossil and Jeff Fisher. But here's the camp.

311
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: Chancellor is already the highest paid player at his position,

312
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: and he is asking for money just to be moved

313
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: around something seven months just doesn't quite add up to me.

314
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: So I want to hear John Schneider's syne something. They

315
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: just don't want to set a president there. That's what yes,

316
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: I and I believe reported that that they're afraid if

317
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: Chancellor does that, then the other guys will and Wagner

318
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: comes in and says, wait a minute, I got Michael,

319
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: it's already done the same thing. This doesn't happen on

320
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. This happens when you've been to multiple

321
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and people want to get paid today. All right,

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: So that's what's happening in the news. And uh, now

323
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: we will move on and discuss a little bit about

324
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. You write the QB Index. It is one

325
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: of our most popular pieces on NFL dot com. I

326
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: believe as of press time, over six comments because Gregg

327
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: moves the needle, whether it's in front of the camera.

328
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Is that how you guys? Like people determined popular comments?

329
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: Terrible metrics are through the roof. I would guess as well, Yeah,

330
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: he's probably haven't checked out the meic. No, comments aren't

331
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: typically a great indicator. What kind of person comments on

332
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: a story online? Yeah, there's there's social media, and then

333
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: there are people that say I'm gonna read a story

334
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: and then scribble a comment on the bottom of the page.

335
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: It's a cess pool. Well I get a sessler pool.

336
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: It's many, many of them under the age of fifteen,

337
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: just trying to get their comments and opinions out. That's

338
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: an age when no one listens to Did I just

339
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: step in for good reason? Did I somehow discourage in?

340
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: Actually let me clean it up. You are a listener

341
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: or viewer of the Round the NFL podcast and you

342
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: comment on our stories. I'm sure you are thoughtful and

343
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: well mannered and decent human beings. Does work? And the

344
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: apostrophe usage and modified I disagree with Dan what's that

345
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: you want to get? I don't think they're respectful or

346
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: smart at all? And good all right, So here we

347
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: go cub index one to thirty two, and um, you know,

348
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of ways to dig ins this,

349
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: but I will just first of all laid out there.

350
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Aaron Rodgers is in a class of his own,

351
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: according to Greg a number one all by himself. Why

352
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: is Rogers that much better than and let's say two

353
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: through five, you of Roethlisberger, Luck, Brady, and Matt Well.

354
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: The criteria here is if you were, if you were

355
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: for this year, only, if you just picked the quarterback

356
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: to run your hypothetical team, who would you want? And

357
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: I think the gap between Rogers and I had been

358
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: number two is bigger than the gap between Ben and

359
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: probably the seventh or eighth or ninth person in the list,

360
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: just because I feel so strongly that he is one

361
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: of the greatest of all times, squarely in his prime,

362
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: whereas the other guys, I don't think you can say that.

363
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: I think I think Andrew Luck at his best can

364
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: be as good as Aaron Rodgers. Maybe he'll pull that

365
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: off this year. I think the fall off after Brady

366
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: and well Greg is head over heels Twitter painted for

367
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Apparently this is ridiculous. Well, I'm predicting a

368
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: good season. Essentially. I think he quietly was amazing. Line.

369
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: That's where you are right now. It's not a career

370
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: referendum or any of that. Yeah, exactly, it's not. Peyton

371
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Manning is down at number ten and that's and that's

372
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: what we talked about with Solomon Wilcott's on the show,

373
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: and he only did was list a bunch of accomplishments. Well,

374
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: that's that's not it. Well, if you would really rather

375
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: have Peyton Manning this year than Matt Ryan, I don't

376
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: know that. Andrew and baldis takedown of exactly. Well, yeah,

377
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: let's let's get to that. Because we had Brian Baldinger

378
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: on what I think what's today? I've lost track of days.

379
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: It was during the week. I don't even know what

380
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: day it is anymore, but week we looked at him tape.

381
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: The genesis of this was I'll tell you this, I

382
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: had three different former NFL players, all had different degrees

383
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: of success, but three guys who played in the league

384
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: all last week say to me unsolicited, Oh my lord,

385
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: did you just see that throw that Peyton made. This

386
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: is during a preseason game. It was the Niners game

387
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and they all unsolicited saying

388
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: he can't think of mine. Yeah, the one to da

389
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas where he had him open for the touchdown,

390
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: one of the out routes, which I believe was also

391
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: to Thomas. I mean he this preseason Solomon was talking about,

392
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, he couldn't drive the ball last year because

393
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: his leg was injured. His legs was the last week.

394
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: He cannot drag it. He cannot drive the ball right now, No,

395
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: he can't. He got Look he he pulled the quad

396
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: on the scramble in San Diego in December, and then

397
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch they said he couldn't push off. I'm

398
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: willing to accept that. Who am I to Barry Peyton Manning.

399
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. But again, those three

400
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: different players looked at three different plays unsolicited and said, wow,

401
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: he can't throw. Another one was a dig. It was

402
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: a seven yard dig and he threw it to the

403
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: guy's knees. Everyone has bad days, including in the preseason,

404
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: and when he gets to the regular season. I still

405
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: think I asked you about the stats on the air, Greg,

406
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: he is a thirty yard thirty plus touchdown guy because

407
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: that's the way modern offenses go, and he can still

408
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: do that. But are you asking me do I think

409
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: he's going to the Super Bowl? I don't because I

410
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: don't see him getting to January and this team still winning.

411
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: I just factor two that you're talking about where we

412
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: are right now. It's gonna take more than the next

413
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: couple of days for Peyton Manning to learn this offense.

414
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: He did not look completely comfortable running the show in

415
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: the preseason. But I think he'll get it. I think

416
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: he'll get it. But he had the same offense other

417
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: than the first couple of weeks in Denver when he

418
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: came to the Broncos and Mike McCoy blew it up

419
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: and said, forget it, we're going back to what he

420
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: knows and they surged down the stretch. So you wait

421
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: till he's thirty nine years old to change the offense.

422
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: That to me is perilous because you've got to get

423
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: out to a good start. If you're the one thing

424
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: that Greg said both in your piece, I believe you

425
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: called you called him a super charge chat Pennington and

426
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: know a rich man well, and the piece was super

427
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: charge and he went to a rich man's Chad Pennington.

428
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Sally Wilcott's head almost exploded. Really said that, and you

429
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: know what, that is not an insult, And I know

430
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm the president of the chat Pennington's Pennington's arm was

431
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: stronger than Peyton Mannings is right now at the point

432
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: they won ten games the year, you want comeback player

433
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: of the Year with the Dolphins, Chad Pennington. The ball

434
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: took a taxi, all right, and he's trying to pull

435
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. They called a cab and

436
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: then that Cabby drove the ball. I think to credit

437
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: to Peyton Manning that at thirty nine years old, that

438
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: he could be a top ten quarters without without much

439
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: of an arm. It shows how incredible a player he

440
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: is that he's able to overcome this physical limitation. But

441
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: it's there. I mean, you don't have to be a genius.

442
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos are actually, you know, if truth

443
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: be told, I think John Elway seriously contemplated blowing this thing. Yeah,

444
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: and that wasn't just because Peyton's got a shelf life

445
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: that's expiring soon, but just there's a lot of people

446
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: to pay well, because when is Brett Farves two thousand

447
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: and ten season coming versus what we saw here before.

448
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: That's the thing I'm not ready. Yeah, I don't think.

449
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll ever play that point. I didn't

450
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: think far would play that poorly. Here's the next level.

451
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: Here we go, and this it always cuts a little deeper.

452
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Who ends up being number eleven, top ten but Cam

453
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: Newton at eleven, uh Flacco, Stafford, Tannehill Eli at fifteen,

454
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: got Cam ahead of Flacco like Sam Brady's sixteen, Carson

455
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Palmer at seventh, Teddy Bridgewater at eighteen, the head of

456
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, who just barely stays Kaepernick made the list

457
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: tier you. I think Kaepernick is one that I immediately

458
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: believe can outplay that and make that look bad. They

459
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if he had a comeback season, but

460
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: based on what he was there at last year, and

461
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: kind of you say that this list is about projecting

462
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do this year, and am Newton is

463
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: throwing to a bunch of number five receivers I even

464
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: mentioned in there. I almost wanted to put him that

465
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: high before all the lousy receivers and offensive coordinator and

466
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: offensive line ruined him because it says, I'm I'm taking

467
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: a team that I'm starting with from scratch, so I

468
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: don't have the Panthers offensive line. I think the team

469
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: around him is going to make him look bad and

470
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: make him get bregg more careful with his Panthers comments

471
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: and things. Number One, you guys know what Kaepernick was

472
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: in the preseason top of your head? Uh five? The

473
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: thirteen for forty yards in three games. Trent Dilfer said

474
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: he saw a genuine improvement. Mechanical, they showed nothing. Trent

475
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: knows more than I do fifty times over, and plus

476
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: that he was running for his life the entire preseason

477
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: with the old line. The other thing is, here's a

478
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: question for everyone. Have you ever seen an NFL team

479
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: rollout wide receivers like Ted Gain and Philly Brown as

480
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: starters on opening Day? The Browns last year? Dwayne Bows

481
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: Dwayne bow is the first round pick he's had. Wait wait,

482
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a Dwyne Bow fan, and clearly they're not either.

483
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: After this, I do we know he's even starting? It

484
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: wasn't Andrew Hawkins the number one receiver in week one

485
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: last year, but your Josh Gordon was suspended. Ted Ginn

486
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: has been a fourth receiver his entire career, including one

487
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: of his best seasons in Caroline. And he's a nice player.

488
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: He's a nice I have a bunch of rule players

489
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: stretched as number one. Philly Brown dropped four passes in

490
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: one game three weeks ago in the preseason. I'm happy

491
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: he's Stilly Brown again. Oh yeah, I gotta get that

492
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: mojo back. Let's move on, Let's check out the next year.

493
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: Stuck in the middle, and this was cute. Greg. You

494
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: have five names here and you got Andy Dalton right

495
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: in the middle of twenty two. Alex Smith, j Color,

496
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Blake Bortles High, l I agree, I was

497
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: picking boarders rising up this year. Bards High that Dalton

498
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: space is actually an act of mercy until now in

499
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: this for two years straight, in this calm, it's always

500
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: been after Dalton is really is the is the category

501
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: you know after But at a certain point it almost

502
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: feels like we have a you know, bullying But asked

503
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: this question, like I always say, if Peyton Manning were cut,

504
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: there'd still be ten teams fighting design. Of course, if

505
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton were cut, how many teams would be fighting

506
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: to three the bottom five? I mean the rounds rounds?

507
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: How much better would I would feel a lot better

508
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: if I had Andy Daltons. No, potentially your next category.

509
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: NFL would actively want to sign Andy Dalton. I don't know.

510
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that saw. No. I think it's

511
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: the bottom six teams list or five even because Derek

512
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: Carr is on there and they wouldn't trade him, They

513
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't trade about trading. What about I don't know, what

514
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals? Wondn't they be interested? What about the arians?

515
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: Like guys who can throw them? You're saying as a backup,

516
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about as a starter. No, I mean, you

517
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: know somebody that's gonna take over for a four year

518
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: old quarterback? Well, so that you're projecting that we're saying

519
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: today though, who's gonna scramble for any Dalton? I would

520
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: agree that the bottom part of this list that's a

521
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: cape on for Alex Smith there. But you guys all

522
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: seemed fine about it. He's so boring. That's good. Yeah, alright,

523
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: you have the Sorry Alex, you gotta throw the ball

524
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: at past ten yards. Let's finish up this list the rookies,

525
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: he is too optimistic. You pop them together Winston May six,

526
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: and then question right, you got Winston over Marioda. Well,

527
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: that was how I felt really going into the whole thing.

528
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want to just change it based on it.

529
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm the other way around now. But again, I think

530
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: you know the fact that any of us is changing

531
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: an opinion after what's That's how I felt as reivers

532
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: and then question marks which seems like a kind subhead

533
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: for these guys. Twenty seven Derek Carr, which you know

534
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: he's that should be higher, twenty eight Kirk Cousins, twenty

535
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: nine fit see thirty Tyrod Taylor, and then thirty one

536
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: and thirty two the last two Browns quarterbacks in the

537
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: last two years, Josh McCown and Brian Hoyer. Michael Berger,

538
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: steam producer of Around the NFL on the TV side,

539
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: asked about an hour ago, just out loud rhetorically, I

540
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: believe has anyone ever started a quarterback on opening Day

541
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: as randomness? Tyrod Taylor that was early Friday, got traded.

542
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: How about Glenn fully dropping four hundred yards on somebody,

543
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: but Charlie Fry was in his second season. Yeah, I

544
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: got another Kelly Holcombe who dropped about four hundred yards

545
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: on the cheeks. But that was due to Kelly Holcomb.

546
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: If if not for that dropped by h Dennis north Cut.

547
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: Dennis Brown's history better than that. It's north Cut on

548
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: third down. I got my revenge years later on dinner. Yeah,

549
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: Cessler is trying to give up on their brown I

550
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: had to go to Mark. By the way, I'm sorry

551
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: Cecily quit the Browns over the week. I'm taking It's

552
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: it's a trial separation. That's all I need to say.

553
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: By the way, you're a coward. Whoa whoa? First of all, anybody, anybody,

554
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: I've been there for thirty years. Anybody can root for

555
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: a winner. Okay, anybody can. It takes care of whatever

556
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: to reach Listen, you are preaching of the choir. I

557
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: this is a They think this will last for two days.

558
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: We'll see how long it lasts. The reason andrews right,

559
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: by the way, because you and I have been brothers

560
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: in arms as a Jets fan in his Browns fan,

561
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: and now you're going to take a year off and

562
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: your team stinks, and I'm stuck with a eight and

563
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: eight outfit at best. Probably I'm not going to quit

564
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: on the Jets. You've called the Jets the best team

565
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so you must say about fortunes. I

566
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: always believe it. I'll never quit on my team, the Browns.

567
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: I admire the Browns will beat the Jets. And also West.

568
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: I like that. I kind of agree. West quit on

569
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: his team, quit our team. They quit on me. I

570
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: did this to stop taking it in the jaw day

571
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: after day from you guys, and I'm still going on.

572
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: And I didn't know. I didn't even think that it

573
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: would have been kind of depressing and telling that I

574
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: did come to you to help me with the end

575
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: of the QB index. I got some experience with you

576
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: to breakdown McCown or Hoyer. Who is who is the

577
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: worst quarterback? That's the tough, that's tough. I went with

578
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: McCown just because I I feel that he from an

579
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback standpoint, offers you a little bit more. But

580
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: they're thirty one and thirty two. What separates I like

581
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: Josh McCown and I want to say I like meaning

582
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: I think he's okay, He's not gonna hopefully lose the

583
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: game for it. Just remember this though about Josh mccawn,

584
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: Mike Martz once converted him to wide receiver. Oh yeah,

585
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: I remember that. That's great. Is there any other starting

586
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: quarterback Sunday that was once converted to wide receiver at

587
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: the pro level. We've seen Terrell Prior try to go

588
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: the other way? Got cut today, right, we didn't we

589
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: didn't have time. Right, Actually, the same way. Whatever. So

590
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: how many more QB indexes do we get? Well, you

591
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: know the rest of the regular seas every week, this

592
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: got him on NFL network. He's not gonna quit now,

593
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna do it every day. So yes, make sure you

594
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: check out. You have a vanity. You are off. I

595
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: don't think I don't know it gets to the boss

596
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com slash the bosses, big project, last quarterback

597
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: in the last Why not a ticket to the big times?

598
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: I have to google it all the time. I think,

599
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: I think the vanity roll would be a good idea.

600
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: And I noticed you threw that in there. I don't

601
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: understand your little vanity. You are a little bit of

602
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like digital talk when I when

603
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: I do long forms like the Ohio River Office, it's

604
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: just NFL dot Com slash Ohio River offense. Yeah, you

605
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: make a special name dot com slash pain rankings. You

606
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: might remember that summer series then by the old suser,

607
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 1: the old all right, Andrew Siciliano, thank you very much

608

Speaker 1: of working that copy in when you could tell the

626
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: host has no interest in getting there. Yeah, that's an art.

00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: It's an art, is the king if you're gonna get

628
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: paid fifty million? I'd learned that are two next the

636
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,640

00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: we will throw it to Thursday night. By the way,

641
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: Greg and Wes hanging around working late, Mark and I

642
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: not around, but you guys gave us a little recap

643
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: of the big season opener Steelers Patriots get to our boys,

644
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: all right, thanks Dan, Let's tack on sometime to this

645
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: show and we're gonna preview all the games a little later,

646
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: but this is gonna be the longest show and around

647
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast history, And you know what, it's worth

648
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: it because we had a great kickoff game game, you know, good,

649
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: great atmosphere there in Foxboro, two great performances by the quarterbacks,

650
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: and the Patriots come out on top of the game

651
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: that on the field felt very familiar to me. One

652
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: Chris Wesseling, you're here with me, just the two of us.

653
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: What we what were your big takeaways after you watch

654
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: this game? To start? But the Steelers should shut up.

655
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: They talked about jamming Rob gronkowskiet the line of scrimmage

656
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: and blue coverages against him all game and had people

657
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: like what was the guy's name, George Gervan, I believe

658
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: some NA star, some linebacker who's not even in the

659
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: regular rotation covering him one on one at the goal

660
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: line and got abused. They had no prayer of stopping Grunkow.

661
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: He was wide open a couple of times too, where

662
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: they just weren't lined up right, and Chris Collinsworth pointed

663
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: it out that happened a lot throughout the game, not

664
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: just when the Patriots were in the hurry up, which

665
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: is like always effective. The second Brady went to that

666
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, that's when they got their first touchdown.

667
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: They weren't lining up correctly. It looked like a poorly

668
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: coach team. And it's interesting to think about. I talked

669
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: about I wonder what the difference of Dick lebo leaving

670
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be not good on the opener. Well, I

671
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: don't think that their defense played much better last year.

672
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: But it's it's a problem. I don't see the Steelers

673
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: as a contender with the secondary unless they unless they

674
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: get some infusion of talent. They're not good enough on defense.

675
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: They have a pass rush. They were playing Tom Brady,

676
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: they were playing against the offensive line with what three

677
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: rookie starters yea, and didn't get much of a pass rush.

678
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: Very interesting how Belichick rotated the Patriots offensive line throughout

679
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: the night. But we're burying the lead here, which is

680
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady had four touchdowns after a rough preseason.

681
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, forget the preseason. I don't know why I

682
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: cared at all about that. Looked very sharp, and Rob

683
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: Gronkowski reminded me, I don't know why I need this reminder,

684
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: but that he is one of the most eminent players

685
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: in the NFL, one of the most dominant tight ends

686
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: in history, and in a way, he's just as as

687
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: important as Brady because if you don't have one of them,

688
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: like they're not gonna win the Super Bowl, they're not

689
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: a true title contender. But with him out there, you know,

690
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: he's a difference maker. He's the offensive version of J. J. Watt.

691
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: I mean, he's that kind of built in a lab

692
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: kind of player. And he's already fifth on the all

693
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: time list for career tight end touchdowns and he's twenty

694
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: six years old. Well, Bill Belichick pointed out when he

695
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: was asked what's the difference between the teams that lost

696
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in two thousand eleven through two thousand

697
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: thirteen and the team that won it in two thousand

698
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: and fourteen, He said it came down to two factors

699
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: are defense primarily being more consistent, and number two Gronks availability.

700
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: If Gronk is available, Belichick and Brady can figure out

701
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: the rest. Although they did, and this is why it

702
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: was familiar to me as a Patriots fan. We had

703
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: a totally random, unknown running back having a big game.

704
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: Although not random if you listen to Chris Wesselaid on

705
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: the podcast a couple of days ago saying, play him

706
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: in your fantasy like he was in my starting lineup.

707
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis goes over a hundred yards from scrimmage. He

708
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: has already set his single season high uh in yards

709
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: from scrimmage. And he looked good. He was elusive, broke

710
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles after the catch, and I think

711
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: he's that Kevin Folk, Danny Wood hit Shane Verene guy.

712
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: That's asking a lot. But he did look great. I mean,

713
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: for a guy that's he looked better than Verne. He's

714
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: barely played in the NFL. He was drafted in two

715
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: thousand eleven. He hasn't had a snap in two seasons,

716
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: and he didn't play when he was on the was

717
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: out the league last year, freely available to a lot

718
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: of teams. The Colts cut him. He I mean, his

719
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: movement was terrific, and it seems like he really picked

720
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: up where to go in the passing game and does

721
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: those hips locked like Kevin Folk, here you go and

722
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: and And it's all about the option routes. If you're

723
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: smart enough to pick up what Tom Brady wants you

724
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: to do. You can get a lot of yards in

725
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: that office. I think he's going to play a huge

726
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: rule all year. So he that was familiar to me,

727
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: the random running back, and then you have Gronk. Of course,

728
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: you have Tom Brady just going absolutely crazy before the

729
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: game with them giving him a huge racus ovation that

730
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: was familiar. But a little you know, a little bit

731
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: of an edge tonight and then the bend but don't

732
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: break defense even didn't really look that good. You said,

733
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers aren't a contender, you know, with their secondary,

734
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: but not like the Patriots secondary looked much better. They

735
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: gave up four hundred and sixty four yards three fifty

736
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: through the air to Roethlisberger. But after a while, it's

737
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: just a skill they have is that they give up yards,

738
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: but they don't give up a ton of points. They

739
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: also have on paper, what should be a good front seven.

740
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: It hurt that Dominique easily went out with a hip

741
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: injury early and didn't return. He looked great in the preseason.

742
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: That could be a big loss. I noticed Jabal Seared

743
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: had a very good game, and I think that was

744
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: a good signing, But the rest of their front seven

745
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: didn't particularly play well. Malcolm Butler tried as hard as

746
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: he could against Antonio. That didn't it didn't work out. Brown.

747
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: Everybody knows he's got this thirty three consecutive games with

748
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: five receptions and fifty yards. He's now his twelve consecutive

749
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: games with seventy receptions and seven seven receptions and seven

750
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: to your It's pretty impressive player. I was surprised as

751
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan how relatively easy this game was. There

752
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: were there were moments where Pittsburgh had a chance to

753
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: get back in there. They didn't convert when they're inside

754
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: the ten yard like scope Mr two field goals, and

755
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: then Darius Heyward Bay's lack of awareness It basically cost

756
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: him an easy touchdown when he his foot was on

757
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: the end zone line and it didn't have to be there.

758
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: They could have had a lot more points. So I

759
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: was surprised how easily the Patriots moved the ball. Maybe

760
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: that said more about the Steelers defense. I mean it

761
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: had a special feel to it. With Brady out there,

762
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: they're chanting where is Roger. That's probably the part of

763
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: the night that I'm gonna remember the most. The Patriots

764
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: fans asking where is Roger Goodell. Of course he was

765
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: at home watching the game, but it feels like more

766
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: of the same that you get an opening night victory.

767
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: They're want to know Steelers are oh and one and

768
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots move on to what will be a tougher game.

769
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: I think in Buffalo next week. That's it for Chris

770
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: and I were the Thursday Night crew. We're going to

771
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: send it over to Dan and everyone else, including ourselves.

772
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, you guys can take a listen

773
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: to some of the around the NFL Cruise highlights from

774
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: the Preseason'll come with the number one. Come with the

775
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: number one. The tam At Bay Buccaneers offense is toxic

776
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: for fantasy purposes. Can any of these Panthers catch a pass?

777
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: It's wide receiver Mark Tavis, Bryan smoking. Are you still

778
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: they're testing my patients? Can you pull over? Get off

779
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: my back. Dan will go along with anything if it's

780
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna make the podcast good. It's like soft tissue summer,

781
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: but a quote significant gap remains in negotiations. Learned to

782
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: be proso pro excellent work behind the glass, TD and

783
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: the entire team. Uh look back at the preseason, but

784
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: now we're looking forward to the regular season and week one,

785
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: and so let's go through each of the games on

786
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: the schedule of the remaining fifteen games, and we'll start art,

787
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: Uh with the Baltimore Ravens going to Denver to take

788
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. Is our first game we're gonna look

789
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: at right here, and uh, you know, two playoff teams

790
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: of a year ago and Mark Sessor. What should we

791
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: be looking for here? Well, a call back to our

792
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: quarterback conversation. You know, I didn't realize this is what

793
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: I asked, but it's what I asked, and I'm gonna

794
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: ask it again. It is Peyton Manning a threat to

795
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: produce a Far Circle two thousand ten campaign. And will

796
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: we see a little bit of that? Right now? Where

797
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: do we still buy into this guy? I think if

798
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: you watched Brian Bolderer this week, it's very likely that

799
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: I think it's likely we are going to see a

800
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: Far two campaign. I don't trust Peyton Manning. We're just

801
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: talking about this game though, right We're not tally no,

802
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: but I mean against the Ravens, We're gonna find out

803
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: right away what's going on. Yeah, you got Dooomerville and

804
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: sucks coming off the edge. Can CampaignOn Manning move. Oh,

805
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how good this Ravens defense are gonna be.

806
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: It should be okay, I just because just because Peyton

807
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: Banning might struggle this year and not be as good

808
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: as he was. I don't think he's going to have

809
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: a I don't think you could ever have a disastrous

810
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: season like you're talking about that Brett Farve had, because

811
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't need the mental mistakes. At very worst, he's

812
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: gonna limit mistakes and just kind of keep the ball

813
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: going like he's not gonna be worse than Alex Smith.

814
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: This is not gonna happen, you know what I mean?

815
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Like that Farv was a disaster. I don't know why

816
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. Let's talk about the game

817
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: though he was pretty good. We keep on talking abou

818
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's season. He's gonna play in this. Why do

819
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,479
Speaker 1: you think the Ravens defense isn't good? I think they're okay.

820
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the secondaries fine, the safety position is. They

821
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: are really good defense last year and now they have

822
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith healthy. I don't know. Like on the flip side, though,

823
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco with an offense that does not have a

824
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: lot of weapons right now. I do like Mark Trustman

825
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: as a coordinator, but Denver's defense, I think we all

826
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: believe in they could be fantastic, and this is gonna

827
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: be a tough matchup. The last two opening days for

828
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: Flacco or the two times in his career is thrown

829
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: sixty passes. They've got to get off that trend in

830
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: Week one, and they will because they're not going to

831
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: have the ball that long. I mean, Wade Phillips comes

832
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: into teams and he takes them from second that the

833
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: Broncos are already a top five defense, and I think

834
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: they are a top two or three in terms of

835
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: just pure talent, and I think it's gonna be a

836
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: very tough matchup. I know the Ravens liked their offensive line,

837
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: but they did not look particularly good in the preseason.

838
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: They have a new coordinator. I don't think they encount

839
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: on the running game as much. I think it's a

840
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: very tough matchup in Ravens offense. I'll say this a

841
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of people, and there's a lot

842
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: of doubt in this room about Peyton Manning, but we

843
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: all picked the Broncos to take care of business in

844
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: Week one. Here there's the speed element in the Ravens

845
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: offense on injured. It's in San Francisco, Torrey Smith, and

846
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: it's on the bench with Prasad Praman. Yeah, I don't that.

847
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't trust them to move the ball against the

848
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: defense that I think has a shot to knock off

849
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks as the best was like a poor man's

850
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: Matthew Slater in New England and now he's a starting

851
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: wet seaver for the Baltimore Let's move on to the

852
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. We're jump around a little bit here.

853
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: The New York Giants will head to Big d to

854
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: face the Cowboys West. What do you What do you

855
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 1: seeing here? Is this is gonna be a game where

856
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot of points are scored. I don't know that

857
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: I think it could be because I don't I don't

858
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: trust the Giants defense at all. You've got I guess

859
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: the matchup I want to pay attention to is Dallas

860
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: is backfield between Joseph Randall, Lance Dunbar, Darren McFadden versus

861
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: a Giants defense that just to me looks like could

862
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: be the worst in the NFL. I'd be concerned if

863
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm a Cowboys fan, and they don't come out in

864
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: this game and look very good on offense, probably better

865
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,479
Speaker 1: than they're gonna look in most games, to be honest,

866
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: because what is special about New York's defense, name one guy.

867
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: That's how we felt about Dallas is Defense's true. It

868
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of that that in the best

869
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: case scenario, the Giants can hope to scheme and have

870
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: good effort and good tackling to the point where they

871
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: don't get in the way enough of what could be

872
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: a very good offense. And now they're going up against Dallas.

873
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: Who's who I mean. They're starting Tyler Patman or something

874
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: at their slot cornerback. They've got Maurice Claiborne in the

875
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: starting lineup at cornerback. It's not a very good secondary

876
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: at all. You would think we do like the front seven.

877
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna we're gonna seek Dallas rushed the

878
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: passer in a way they haven't not last year. Gregor's

879
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: your worst nightmare. A talent deficient Cowboys defense or Giants

880
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: evens holding it together, and then it's an entire season

881
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: of Spags talk positive. Well, this is what a great

882
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: job Steve Spagnoll's you know, no no JPP and he's

883
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: been able to hold his team together the game where

884
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: I hope both teams lose, or that it's a ten

885
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: ten tie where somehow they just played terrible football and

886
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: no positives can be games. So your Terrell sucks talking

887
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: about the page. I'm pretty much down on both of

888
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: these teams, so I'm gonna be proven wrong for by

889
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: one of them. Say night. We have all picked the

890
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys to take care of business in this game, and

891
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: I personally feel very confident about that. I don't I

892
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: think the Giants are walking into a bus on Next

893
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: up the Eagles and Falcons. Uh. You know, this is

894
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: a game that we have been all amped up and

895
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:58,479
Speaker 1: the football cognacenti the word of the week, all pumps word,

896
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: wasn't it? He had opted it? I adopted it. I'm

897
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: giving it back eventually maybe after this. Yes, were excited.

898
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,240
Speaker 1: We're very excited about what is the potential Chip Kelly's

899
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: offense with Sam Bradford healthy and potentially uh in line

900
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 1: to thrive. So here we go. We got a great

901
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: chance to see it against the Falcons defense that no

902
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: one is necessarily scared of. Not a great home field

903
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: advantage at at Atlanta. I mean, christ sake, don a

904
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: pipe and sound. They got banged for that, So it's

905
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: not like that place is gonna be going nuts or anything.

906
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: And you know, Greg, you get to see your boy

907
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. But I think in my opinion, that's there's

908
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna be too much Chip Kelly offense with the Falcons

909
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: the handle and they should be worried about an Eagles

910
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 1: defense that's very good. I mean Chip Kelly is talking

911
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: about Benny Logan as one of their best players. If

912
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: Benny Logan is one of their best players, step up

913
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: to the level of Fletcher Cox and Michael Kendricks and

914
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso, the whole linebacker group. I mean that front

915
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: seven is among It feels like there's a lot of

916
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: great front sevens right now, but that's gonna be in

917
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: the mix as one of them. They're all great. In

918
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: September before the game starts and then look at them matchup.

919
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: Where Atlanta's offensive line, I mean, who's starting for them.

920
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: They have to go out and trade for Andy Leavitra

921
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: because they don't have the talent to run Kyle Shanahan

922
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: zone blocking scheme. They're not very athletic. I think it's

923
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a rough year for that. To answer your question,

924
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: there's an individual named Mike Person who should be uh

925
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: that is a real person. Mike Person. They got rid

926
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: of their old starter, Joe Holly, they have a Gino Grandkowski.

927
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: It's more, it's ugly, more likely to be a real person.

928
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: Tom Savage or Mike Person says they've hidden that ghost

929
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: away on I R. It is interesting right at the

930
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: point where we started to consider Savage might be a

931
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: corporeal entity whenever whatever it is that then he disappears

932
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: for the Shanahan took the Cleveland Browns with Brian Hoyer

933
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: to a seven and four record. Suddenly you have Julio

934
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: Jones and Matt Ryan. The line is not as good,

935
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: but I'm not right in the Falcon's offense, it's on

936
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: any level, Mark, it's Julio Jones. Yes, we all picked

937
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 1: the Eagleskevin colem and starting this game. It wouldn't shock

938
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: me if this is a very funny. I think it'd

939
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: be a Love the Falcons in Atlanta. The Falcons Love

940
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles wasn't played in a dome. Greg loves and

941
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: bake noise being pumped in three. By the way, three

942
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: games so far, we've all picked the same winners. That's

943
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna change soon. As soon as right now. The Indianapolis

944
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: Cults are going to Buffalo the Orchard Park the Rex

945
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Premier with the Bills and Greg. To me, this

946
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: has all the markings of a Rex situation where he

947
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: gets super hyper amped up and pumped up, wins the game. Afterwards,

948
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: after the games, he's you know, mounding off of that.

949
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: We're going to the playoffs and then this team is

950
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: better than any other team out there. That's what's coming

951
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: right right. I think it is coming absolutely, And I

952
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: think one part of this game we haven't talked about

953
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: all is what a great matchup for Tylrod Taylor to

954
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: come out there in week one. The receivers are healthy again.

955
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: I know they haven't worked out much together, but this

956
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: is not a very good Colts defense, not a healthy

957
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: Colts defense. I don't think they and rushed the passer.

958
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a perfect match for Tyrod Taylor to

959
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: do what he's gonna do, which is throw seven yard passes.

960
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: Two guys who can break tackles like Sammy Watkins and

961
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin and Charles Clay and run around a little

962
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: bit and get enough points of the guys that haven't

963
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: practiced like that, Greg, that was very good. By the

964
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: way Mark and Connor or both picked the cults. Of course,

965
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I should say Greg is not picking anything.

966
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: Greg has compromised the podcast and his relationship with the

967
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: guys that work for him by on NFL network. Now

968
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to. That's be a part of it.

969
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: That's true. I forgot about that. Why the Colts Mark Well,

970
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: because I I had trouble with this one. But I

971
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 1: went to when I have trouble with the game, who's

972
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: the best quarterback? And that's where I went Andrew Luck.

973
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: And listen, by the way, it's not like Andrew Luck

974
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: he had a good offensive line the last couple of

975
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: years or a very good defense. They've done this going

976
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: on year after year. They won eleven games and all

977
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: three of his seasons. And Buffalo is a tough Buffalo

978
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 1: took Green Bay down at home last year. You gotta

979
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: note that it's gonna be a tough game, but I

980
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: give it to the car know what. You know what

981
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo's move is to win a September game early that

982
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: gets everyone overly excited. Fitzpatrick over the Patriots EJ. Manuel

983
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: with the last minute win. I mean they do this

984
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: every year. Patriots pretty much feel like the Patriots. The

985
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: Bills do this every year. Al right before all right,

986
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: let's take a little break. Now, let's let's introduce tv

987
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: UH a little segment for our preview shows. We love

988
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: playing this game. It's gonna come back. Let's do it. Alright,

989
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: let's do it right now, little bit better, Dan, you're up.

990
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. The New York Giants give

991
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: up at least four hundred and fifty yards on defense

992
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, or Tyrod Taylor has a three turnover

993
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: meltdown against the Colts. What's more likely? I say, Tyrod

994
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: Taylor over three times? Really? Yeah, what makes you think

995
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: that Tyrod Taylor is great at keeping the ball in

996
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: his own hands? Well, he's playing the Colts, who have

997
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: a mediocre to pour defense. I don't think they've really

998
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: been great at forcing turnovers. It's a nice matchup. They're

999
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: going to run the ball a lot, and the other

1000
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: option seems like a slam dunk. Giants defense one of

1001
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: the worst in the league, facing a very good Cowboys offense.

1002
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: Someone should point out to the rest of the country

1003
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: that the Coolts aren't playing the Patriots every game on

1004
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: their schedule, like their defense isn't that bad. The Patriots

1005
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: just make them look bad a couple of times. Hasn't

1006
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: started a game since you played Andrew Luck in college,

1007
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: So it's possible that if you roll them out into

1008
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: an NFL setting Week one, that he's gonna make some

1009
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: mistakes no matter what the defense is doing. And I

1010
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: won that college game Andrew Luck dropped a bomb on

1011
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: him seventeen. I'm actually impressed. Do you do that? I

1012
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: have no idea. I'll just say this. If you're somebody

1013
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: that likes to pick games as well, wait till Tyrod

1014
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 1: Teller hits the road and then take the other team

1015
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: and a tough road venue. Alright, I like the Bills.

1016
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: I can pick the I can pick some games I

1017
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: want Bills are gonna win. I said, pick Mark. Let's

1018
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: move on the next outside of you, guys West, I

1019
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: picked the Bills to him, like their defense swarms to

1020
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: the ball when they play in that stadium. Alright, moving on,

1021
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers head to Soldier Field to face

1022
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: the Bears. And while you would think that, Yes, it's

1023
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: exciting when when the Chicago gets the crowd their stadium

1024
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: and get pumped up. We know what happens when the

1025
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: Bears face Aaron Ryders Rodgers. Is It's a total blood bath,

1026
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: isn't it? Mark? Yeah, because green tan of Aaron Rodgers's

1027
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns last season came against the Bears, a quarter a

1028
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: quarter of the quarter of his touchdowns. And I look

1029
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 1: at this team and I say, is there any reason

1030
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: for hope in Chicago at all? That was the question

1031
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: for the season preview. I'm asking it again because I

1032
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: want to real answer in this game. In this game,

1033
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, we open up with this game and

1034
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 1: we're going to see what the Bears are because they're

1035
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to play tough teams in their own division

1036
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: all season long. I don't trust their defense on any level.

1037
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: I could see a blood bath in this scenario. And

1038
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 1: on offense, you've got Jake Cutler running the show. So

1039
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: we're going to find out real fast what the Bears are.

1040
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna be surprised. Let me throw

1041
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: this out there. I know everyone's down to Jay Cutler,

1042
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, is there any way that everyone's so

1043
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: down on Jay Cutler that he might surprise us a

1044
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: little bit this year by being a little more proficient

1045
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: than people explained, like eight years into his NFL career. Well, yeah,

1046
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: like being you know, a decent quarterback, you know, posting

1047
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: like a D eight passer rating and has some nice

1048
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: throws and they win some games. I don't think it's

1049
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: that crazy. He's done that. That's what he's mostly done

1050
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: in Chicago. He's been fine. He's he's I think his

1051
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: problems are leadership, it's off the field. It's not being

1052
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. But he's that mid level that we

1053
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: were talking everylier's. Last year, he had eighteen interceptions that

1054
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: led the league. I mean Drew Brees had more than that.

1055
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: I just see I don't see a lot of round

1056
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: him with the way Kevin Wright is not on the

1057
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 1: field to start with, what is what? Why is this

1058
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: the alson Jeffrey might not play in this game. I

1059
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: don't think it's the up yeret No alshon Jeffrey. Potentially,

1060
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: of course, we don't know Kevin White, Brandon Marshall's in

1061
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: New York's. This could be a big year for Martell's Bennett.

1062
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to have a big game for them

1063
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: to have any chance. Next up, get excited, folks of

1064
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: the Detroit Line. Kevin Patrick's favorite team the entire world.

1065
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: He loves them Detroit Lines. They head to San Diego

1066
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: to face the Chargers, and Chris Westling, you are high

1067
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: on the Lions. Are they gonna go into San Diego

1068
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: and win a game? I think they are. I think

1069
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: the Lions are the better team. And the question I

1070
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: want to know. The Chargers draft Melvin Gordon around higher

1071
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: than than the Lines drafted Miro abdulah Abdullah really outplays

1072
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: him in the preseason. Which team has the advantage at

1073
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: running back in this game between the two rookies, I think,

1074
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: all right now, you would have to say Detroit, but

1075
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: you're forgetting the veterans in San Diego who could be

1076
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean, Danny Woodhead is a very good

1077
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: third down back. Brandon Oliver, it's not gonna too excited

1078
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: about it, but he's fine. Throw Donald Brown out there,

1079
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: he's still on the team. Get ready, Donald? Yeah? I mean,

1080
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: if you're asking which of the two rookies, and you

1081
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: want to go on what we've seen in August, which is,

1082
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: you know, precarious. But Melvin Gordon did not look like

1083
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: for round pick. We know that I like Oliver a

1084
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: lot more than some others do. I like Oliver too,

1085
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 1: and I think earlier in the year he could see

1086
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: more carries than milk. I'm excited about this one. I

1087
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: haven't really done the gonna get the assignments yet, but

1088
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: these are two teams that I think could be playoff teams.

1089
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: Be frisky. I think the Chargers are gonna win this game.

1090
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know now. We don't think who you think

1091
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: is gonna win? Greg, you left us you don't. I

1092
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,800
Speaker 1: gets realizing right about now that he has absolutely stepped

1093
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: in it because he's gonna be hearing from Dan for seventeen.

1094
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: It's better than than the alternative. I liked Greg's I

1095
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: like Mark's idea where maybe we just put a bag

1096
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: on Greg's head during these segments. Well it was it

1097
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: was like a Woolen cap that goes like a robber

1098
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: over your entire face. You're not part of the segment.

1099
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: By the way, West, you and I are the only

1100
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: ones that think the Lions are gonna win on the

1101
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: road in this game. Big injury for the Chargers to

1102
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: Ladarius Green is a concussion, which is big because the

1103
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates has suspended that that could come back to

1104
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: the I'm really curious how the Chargers offense kind of luck.

1105
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: I am a general optimist, but their offensive line was

1106
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 1: terrible in the preseason. It's a lot of new pieces,

1107
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: like they couldn't take a little while to get out

1108
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: of the gates. Next up, let's head to Glendale, Arizona,

1109
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:16,240
Speaker 1: which is, you know, a suburb and outlying suburb of Phoenix.

1110
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, we've been there. That's it. That's all I

1111
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: have for this game. Next up, you know, uh, the

1112
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals open their season against the New Orleans Saints.

1113
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: And and for me, I want to see what the

1114
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: Saint's offense is gonna look like. We talked about it.

1115
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: They they they beefed up. They're getting stronger than trying

1116
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: on some level, build a little bit of a bully.

1117
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: They get C. J. Spiller in town. They've got mark Ingram,

1118
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: Kerry Robinson. Maybe Drew Breese throws less or maybe not.

1119
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: Maybe Drew Brees ends up throwing forty passes in this game.

1120
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: For all we know, it's still Drew Brees West. Do

1121
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: you think that there's a chance we may all just

1122
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: get sucked in and they're gonna still throw the ball

1123
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: a lot and Drew Bilees Brees still throws for five

1124
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 1: thousand yards. I don't think he's gonna throw it for

1125
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: five thousand. And I think they're gonna run the ball

1126
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 1: more than a half in the past, But that doesn't

1127
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna be like Tony Romo last year where

1128
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: they only throw us for hundred yards. I do think

1129
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: they want to run the ball more, and they want

1130
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: their defense to play better, and they want those things

1131
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: to go together. And why would they have defense play

1132
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: better or why would we think they're I don't think

1133
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: it will. I think that they went out and basically

1134
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: overhauled the defense, and I see a lot of question marks. Well,

1135
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: that's why the whole run thing could blow up, because

1136
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: if you're giving up as many points a game as

1137
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: they did last year, which is the one the worst

1138
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: defensive tumble from one season to the next in ages,

1139
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: Rob Bryan's responsible for it. And if you're giving up

1140
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: thirty points again, you can't just run the ball day

1141
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: the option. I also want to see how Carson Palmer

1142
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: looks in this game. We've heard good things about him,

1143
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: but yes, this is a thirty six year old guy

1144
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: second a c L. The whole season rides with him.

1145
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: Let's face it, if if he goes down again, we

1146
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: saw what happened last year. They have no shot. The

1147
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: Saints are starting Delvin bro an undrafted guy at cornerback.

1148
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: I forget the name of their nickel back right now started.

1149
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the Keenan Lewis injury was huge because they

1150
00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: have no depth there. They cut their second round pick.

1151
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: They have done a terrible job adding players. They signed

1152
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: Anthony Spencer, who is supposed to fill in for their

1153
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: blown contract Junior Anthony Spencer's now out for the season.

1154
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this defense is about as thin

1155
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: as it gets. There should be a lot of points

1156
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: here old we have. If we still had a hero picks,

1157
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: those are gone now. Connor or would be defending it.

1158
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: But why is there no hero picks? You can't put

1159
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: that on me. Of course, it's a hero pick. It

1160
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: is what it is. By the way, it's gonna be

1161
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: written down because we're we're a rudderless ship. Now we

1162
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: have everything's falling apart of it. I'm here the center

1163
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: cannot hold and still have hero picks. It's the same

1164
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: amount of people picking games five people. Connor has replaced me.

1165
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: He's a younger, he's better looking, he owns a house.

1166
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense. Things apart the center

1167
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: cannot hold exactly. Our next game, the Seattle Seahawks are

1168
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,919
Speaker 1: traveling to putting those hero picks in the written version.

1169
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't care if you guys even recognize that or

1170
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: not cut off the head uh burlot bag. The St.

1171
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: Louis Rams will host the Seahawks, who are back to

1172
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: back FC champions. Greg and you believe Greg Rosal that

1173
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: the Seahawks could encounter some trouble against the eternally frisky

1174
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: at least in the preseason St. Louis. Well, I'm I'm

1175
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: not allowed to give an opinion on who wins anymore apparently,

1176
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: but the Rams did beat the Seahawks in St. Louis

1177
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: with Kellen Clemens. Uh. They lost by five points in

1178
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: an ugly Monday night game two years ago. That was

1179
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: with Bradford. They beat them with their special teams in

1180
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 1: Austin Davis. So I don't think it's that crazy to

1181
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: imagine this Rams front seven. Given the Seahawks offensive line

1182
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: and their offense a whole lot of problems. I say

1183
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: the first one to thirteen points wins this game. I

1184
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: mean this is gonna be an ugly defensive game. I

1185
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: don't think with many offensive touchow. I don't know if

1186
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: the Rams get the Rams have not had a top

1187
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: fifteen rushing attacks its two thousand and one. It's probably

1188
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: not gonna have one this game. They're not. I just

1189
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: don't see this is this is Seattle's knows that it's

1190
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: hard to go into St. Louis and play this team.

1191
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna be more prepared this time. And what that

1192
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: means like they didn't know it last year when when

1193
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: they went in the idea just they just learned it.

1194
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: Let's let's not try this week. Sorry, everyone picked the

1195
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks to win. See I would have had to hear

1196
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: pick tery Mason. Jary Mason is gonna miss this game.

1197
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: Though it's not too late, Greg to get in on this.

1198
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: You have forty minutes. Oh we didn't even mention. We

1199
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: have to get our listeners to sign up for the

1200
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: Around the NFL weekly Pick Them group, even though I'm

1201
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: not picking the other five guys are all picking. It's

1202
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: a cool engage. It's a cool thing. You know. Whatever

1203
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: fan wins, we will send you a sandwich in the mail.

1204
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: How about that. Maybe we'll come up with a better

1205
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: At the very least, Greg, you should buy the sandwich,

1206
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: of course. All right, I'll take the charity and put

1207
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: it on. I think you underestimated how hurt we all

1208
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 1: are by this. You're not hurt? Yeah? Where you hurt?

1209
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's play it again, t D another round.

1210
00:59:55,360 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Here we go, America's favorite. Right, what's more likely the

1211
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints and Cardinals combined for eighty points on Sunday?

1212
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: Or Jay Cutler gets booed at home in Chicago. Cutler

1213
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: gets booed. I mean, doesn't he get booed every game?

1214
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: If they announced the offensive starters, isn't he gonna get food?

1215
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: We'll know this by ten am Pacific time. Every I

1216
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 1: guess my vision of a fifty to forty five, you know,

1217
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Cardinal Saints game skewed. I thought it was somewhat even,

1218
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: but you might be right. The Cutler things every single

1219
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: they're sad. I know, loaves Jay Cutler. Yeah, all right,

1220
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: you guys are jokes. Well, no, I mean I also

1221
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know are the Cardinals going to be like

1222
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: a high octane offense. I'm not being sold on that

1223
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: when adding any team playing this I do. I think

1224
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are gonna be a high Cardinals defense is

1225
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: not giving up thirty five to forty five points. I

1226
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: think they could. They've got one average, two above average

1227
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: player in their front seven class. Cambell named the other one.

1228
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Who was there? Who are all these great players they

1229
01:00:58,560 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: hit on the front seven last year when there was

1230
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:06,439
Speaker 1: shot everyone? Dawn? I don't know it. All right, let's

1231
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: move on. That was that was good. Next up here

1232
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: we go the Minnesota Vikings, a team with a lot

1233
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: of team of a t N buzz head to San

1234
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Francisco to face the forty Niners, who, you know, society

1235
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: has deemed irrelevant in a similar way the way Rhoto

1236
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: world Views by Austin. So my question is to you,

1237
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, are we really, you know, getting down on

1238
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: the forty Niners unfairly? Here? They can win a game

1239
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: at home against the Vikings, Come on there, right, Any

1240
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: home team in a primetime game I think gets points

1241
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: for me. Though, The question I want is what do

1242
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: you expect from Adrian Peterson in this game. We haven't

1243
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: seen him in a year plus. He's the difference here.

1244
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: It's a great nightcap to a great, you know, week

1245
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: of matchups. I love this one because you're not really

1246
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: sure about what these teams are gonna be. I know

1247
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,439
Speaker 1: we liked the Vikings, but we haven't seen this version

1248
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: of the Vikings year year to Bridgewater, Peterson back in

1249
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the mix. I feel we know who Adrian Peterson is.

1250
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: We don't know who the front seven is anymore. I

1251
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: mean that this used to be a brutal matchup for

1252
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: running backs playing the forty Niners. But outside of Navarro bowman,

1253
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: who really scares you? Minnesota is missing it's starting center

1254
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: and it's right tackle that does in fact you know

1255
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: that's going to impact what they can do. And bowmen,

1256
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: please upset of the week for the forty Niners that

1257
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Mod Brooks is playing in this game after the charges

1258
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: that went against him and everything that's happened in San Francisco.

1259
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I was stunned that they are waiting to see what

1260
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: officially happens and they didn't get rid of it. To

1261
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: dance to Dan's point, what if the Niners right, and

1262
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: we've written them off. Everyone says, forget these guys and

1263
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings are this NFC preseason Darling. If you open

1264
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: up the year by taking them down a week one,

1265
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: well we realize we don't know any could be better

1266
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: than we thought, Vicers could be worse than the right

1267
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: in the middle. But I'll give you an answer. Adrian

1268
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: Peterson seven carries for a hundred and twelve yards in

1269
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: one touch. Wow, Okay, that's kind of a letdown a

1270
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Yards per carry, the yards per carry is

1271
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,439
Speaker 1: not great. But he's he's warming up. He gets he's

1272
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:08,919
Speaker 1: a heavy workload. That's how three bills. Whoa. Now that's Mark.

1273
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: You took the Vikings, as did Connor Or and Kevin

1274
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: patcha West and I are very locksteps so far in

1275
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: these picks. And that is a sandwich wager best versus

1276
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 1: the old Zeuser. Before you go my lunch to the Niners.

1277
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: We did, we took. I feel like Tom Schueller is

1278
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna he's kind of nice surprise to bring on the Vikings.

1279
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: There's a Monday headline, Tom Suela favorite for Coach of

1280
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: the Year. Next up one, next up. This does not

1281
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: happen too often, so this is kind of neat to

1282
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: use the nineteen seventies word. The Marcus Mariotta led Tennessee

1283
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Titans the number two overall pick, take on Jamis Winston,

1284
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1285
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Chris Westling our first look at both of these quarterbacks excited,

1286
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: I am. I I'm more excited for Mariota than Winston,

1287
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: just because I there's I I have no faith in

1288
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the Buck's offensive line. I just don't um. But my

1289
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: question is, remember three years ago when the Redskins slow

1290
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: played the entire NFL in the preseason and basically hid

1291
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: their offense in RG three rookie year. Are the Titans

1292
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: slow playing the entire NFL? Are they gonna run? Are

1293
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: they gonna run Chip Kelly's offense? Because they talked about

1294
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: it before they drafted Marcus Mariota. They were already building

1295
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: an offense to emulate the Eagles and the Dolphins. I

1296
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: think I'd like to see some Chip, some Chip offense

1297
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: out here. I did here, and I forget who was

1298
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,919
Speaker 1: by someone who is covering that team closely that they're

1299
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: not showing anything where Mariotta was on the move in

1300
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: the preseason and that is going to be a big

1301
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: part of their offense based on watching them in practice.

1302
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 1: Someone on their defense today also said that they basically

1303
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: even if they used a lot of their playbook this week,

1304
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: it wouldn't even be close to what they possess. That

1305
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: there must be something else staff but used it off

1306
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: But how if you've practiced nothing at all in games,

1307
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: So maybe you roll out a large in general game

1308
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: plan and you don't you use your whole playbook anyways,

1309
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: you only use a portion of your play so it's

1310
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: not that crazy, right. I think that Jamis Winston is

1311
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: the one I'm more excited to see because there's a

1312
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: little bit of everything with him. Some of it's bad,

1313
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: some of it's good. Quarterback play I forgot. I mean,

1314
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he makes some crazy I think he's

1315
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: going to be bad in an overly aggressive way, that

1316
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: he's never going to give up on plays and he's

1317
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna he's like Cutler. Yeah, Mark, just so you know,

1318
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: if we if we still did it, this would have

1319
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: been a hero pick for you. Who did I pick?

1320
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: I did. I'm just realizing this now. This is back

1321
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: to it for a long time. Listeners let's roll with it.

1322
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: Is often surprised by his let's go Tampa, and that's

1323
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: not a crazy pick. I would guess their favorite in

1324
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 1: this game. It's not that's there's a lot of multitasking today.

1325
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't even remember in Tampa. That's not a crazy pick.

1326
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: At let's move on to Uh. You know this is

1327
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: the game. Doesn't get me too excited. But listen, what

1328
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Really? I was going to assign

1329
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: myself this for one PM. I guess no good idea.

1330
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers head to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. Uh.

1331
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: And to me, you know if you want. If I'm

1332
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: looking for storylines to watch, this is a big test

1333
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: for both the quarterbacks getting out of the gate. Of course,

1334
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: we've talked about Newton has all these problems we're talking

1335
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: about earlier in the show. Does has a bunch of

1336
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: number five receivers, and then Blake Bortles, who had a

1337
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: pretty miserable rookie season. We have a lot of good

1338
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: buzz that he might be able to turn around in

1339
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: year two. But I'll tell you what I need to

1340
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: be I need to see it on the field and

1341
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: regular season games account. So this will be interesting to

1342
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: see how Bordles progresses, how Newton deals. Maybe I will

1343
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: assign it to you so you can see it. I'm

1344
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: just selling that. Yeah, I we in one of the

1345
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: four thousand bold predictions we had to make this week.

1346
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: At this point, it's all nothing of it makes sense anymore.

1347
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: But I do remember writing down that Portals would have

1348
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: three yard some three touchdowns and have everyone on fire

1349
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: about him after this week. Now we'll continue. No, but

1350
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I do think that this offense for Carolina is gonna

1351
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: give did remember that that's good? Carolina's offense is going

1352
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: to be a big issue, and they're gonna Jaguars me

1353
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: on the field a lot more than would in another

1354
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: game because Carolina is gonna do a bunch of three announced.

1355
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: I was shocked that we all picked the Jaguars in

1356
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: this game. That is weird. The fans consensus, which is

1357
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: what all the people that log on the NFL dot com,

1358
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: have the Panthers winning. So we go all against the fans,

1359
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: which I always feel good about. I can feel him

1360
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: about to say that. I like he's big on the Jags.

1361
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Give him the bag. Next up the Miami Dolphins. They

1362
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: had to FedEx Field or wherever it is in Washington?

1363
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Is that correct? The Dolphins and the Washington Redskins and

1364
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Greg was it? We're pumped up. I think we're talking

1365
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins could have a top defense at the

1366
01:07:55,600 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: top offense. Are you excited about them? Not really? Thanks

1367
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: for playing along. And they're a mid level team until

1368
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: they prove otherwise. And I do wonder this is a

1369
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: game where everyone really does expect the Dolphins to win.

1370
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be that crazy if the

1371
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 1: Redskins did it. Can Matt Jones and Alfred Morris Jones

1372
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: start showing us that they're one of the best one

1373
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 1: two punches in terms of backfields in the league, kind

1374
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: of control this game on the ground against this high

1375
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: powered Dolphins events line West is cracking up. I don't

1376
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: think that's so crazy talk Gurley and Trey Mason. No,

1377
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 1: that's true. Alfred Morris. What you you have this weird

1378
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: thing against Alfred Morris? You're like, nope, hate those dred

1379
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: yards everywhere. You add some Matt Jones to that. I

1380
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: think couldn't catch a pass to save his life. That's

1381
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: yards per carry average is under four without r G

1382
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: three in the in the line up. You got Matt

1383
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Jones in there to catch some passes, big boy with

1384
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: some Now I like Matt Jones. I think that Alfred

1385
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: Morris is going to be out of Washington next year.

1386
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: You want to talk about an Onion Hayer, Connor or

1387
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: pick the Redskins to win this game? The only one

1388
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: of the group of did well good for con you

1389
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: can call onion hangers old onion hanger or Connor has

1390
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: been drinking since roughly seven am. Let's let's keep rolling

1391
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: with our next segment of what's more likely? What's your turn?

1392
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 1: What's more likely Cam Newton has fewer than five completions

1393
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to Panthers wide receivers. Or Kirk Cousins gets sacked at

1394
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: least five times by and Dominican Sue and the Dolphins

1395
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: defensive front m That's a frightening photo if you're watching

1396
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,719
Speaker 1: on YouTube, frightening photo of Kirk Cousins. Which is affecting

1397
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: my decision making it? This is it's it's a confusing

1398
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: one to me. My brain hurts because I'm, you know,

1399
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: thinking the receivers. I'm gonna go. Kirk Cousin gets sacked

1400
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: five times against Miami because that seems like a solid

1401
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: over under I basically expect it, and we know, I

1402
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: know he gets rid of the ball quicker. But I'm

1403
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: with you because you've got the Dominican sue, you've got

1404
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: Cameron Wake, and you've got a bad Redskins off. So

1405
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: you're saying Cam, if if it played out that way

1406
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: a it would be like a Cam thirteen for twenty

1407
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: seven type performance. There's not a lot of completions tight

1408
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: ends in running right, Let's say, yeah, then they'll have

1409
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: a few backfield. I mean, I can totally see a

1410
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: thirteen seven from If you ever start a cult, you're

1411
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: gonna want this picture of Kirk Cousins like as your follower.

1412
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: That guy looks like he's just ready to join a colt.

1413
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,919
Speaker 1: That he also looks like the guy from Team America

1414
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,679
Speaker 1: World Police. Remember that, I will say five plus times

1415
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins will get buried in this game because there's

1416
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: no way he's finished in the season. He'll be hurt

1417
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: and four of him. Not a good sement for talking

1418
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: Week one performance by Mitchell. All Right, we've got three

1419
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,560
Speaker 1: more games. Next up, the Kansas City Chiefs take on

1420
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: our hard Knocks boys, the Houston Texans, Mark, what are

1421
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: you watching for in this one? I'm watching to see

1422
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: if J. J. Watt can get an early jump on

1423
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 1: defensive Player of the Year against a team that really, honestly,

1424
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City Alex Smith. I understand, we all

1425
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: know they didn't throw a touchdown last year to a

1426
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yeah, it's the it's the thing. I thought

1427
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: you were supposed to get fined if you mentioned that,

1428
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: well find me. But I just think this is a

1429
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 1: This is a kind of game where you know this

1430
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: is This is a nice opportunity for what to get

1431
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: a big start against Alex Smith, one of the more

1432
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: dull quarterbacks on this This is a nice opportunity to

1433
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: do your dishes or cut your grass on Sunday every week.

1434
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: One game is special. I don't like Dan disparaging the

1435
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Panthers game. I don't like West doesn't like anyone say

1436
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: anything negative about a game. And everyone was a special

1437
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: little flowers. That's true. Watch a game not to watch

1438
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: on rewind all week. Next week it's going to be

1439
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: this one. I would maybe agree with that qualification, but

1440
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: I'll try to watch him. But Mark not only wants

1441
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: to watch this game, he chose it as his early game. Why, well,

1442
01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: he's just like, well, you know stuff, Oh look it's there.

1443
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I didn't really say that, yer, because a false narrator

1444
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: does kind of makes sense that maybe that was what

1445
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: interested It does interest me because they're two very to me.

1446
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Are they just eight and eight teams? Are they something more?

1447
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I want to know? Alright, I assigned myself Chiefs Titans

1448
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: in Week one last year. I remember that. I regret it.

1449
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: It can only get better if I Mark and I

1450
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: both pick the Texans in this game. We'll see what happens, alright.

1451
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: Next up we have the Bengals and the Raiders. Ye,

1452
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: how's my question, how will Andy Dalton begin his boomer

1453
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: bus campaign? Because we talked about this last week. I

1454
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: really think this is a make or break year for

1455
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton Cincinnati. And if he gets out of the

1456
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 1: gates slow against the Raiders team, yes, I understand they

1457
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 1: might be improved, but you know, but if he gets

1458
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: out of the gate still has a bad game and

1459
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders steal game against the Bengals, this could set

1460
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 1: the stage or some ugliness in the perception. Wise, there

1461
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a worse team to come out and drop

1462
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: an it that the Browns. Maybe maybe the brown well

1463
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: it is, but Brown's Bengals his inner division, and that's

1464
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: seen a little bit differently the Raiders. You go into Oakland.

1465
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: But you know what, the Raiders, I think they have

1466
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: a watchable defense like we talked about, and there aren't

1467
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: this automatic two and fourteen team, and I think they

1468
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 1: could give Cincinnati some trouble. But the more talented team

1469
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 1: is Cincinnati. But Dalton has to show we can't just

1470
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: get in the way. Well, and we can see this

1471
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: Bill Musgrave offense that no one's talking about for the

1472
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,640
Speaker 1: first time. I'm running Chips Office offense too. No, he's not.

1473
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: I would be worried that Bill Musgrave holds back what

1474
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: is a more talent wasn't wasn't he Philadelphia's quarterbacks coach

1475
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: last year? Just more talented last year's Raiders. I've had

1476
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: some Raiders fans tell me that there are going to

1477
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: be elements of Chip Kelly's offense. Maybe that's why they

1478
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: hired him. Well, it wasn't in Minnesota when he was

1479
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: coaching those boring Vikings off if we had hero picks.

1480
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: You took the Raiders to explain why you took them

1481
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: r I p hero picks. It's a shame, it's still

1482
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: a hero pick. You are insane. I want to know

1483
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 1: why you pick. Just tell us why you picked the

1484
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Raiders Bangles on the road laying an egg. That's that

1485
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: is the least surprising take. You do think though that

1486
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: since and I agree with you, hasn't vastly more talented

1487
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: offense here? Right up? That's happened? Okay, finally uh one

1488
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: a one pm game on Sunday. And I know a

1489
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't as excited about this game as

1490
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: as I am, or as my or as Mark once was.

1491
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: But I know I could throw to Greg Brown's jets

1492
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: at the meadow ends. You love every game? Tell us

1493
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 1: why this is a great game to watch. Wow, this

1494
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: is a great game because it's gonna bring Mark Sessler

1495
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: back into the fold with the Browns, with this underrated

1496
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: Browns defense and Mike pett and it's not going to

1497
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: be that hard to stop Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Browns defense

1498
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: get an ugly winning Week one, gets Sizzler back on

1499
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: their side. They're just the thing. You're going into New York.

1500
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland could run the ball for twenty five yards in

1501
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: this game against that defense, that's what they want to do.

1502
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: They can't throw no Sheldon Richardson, by the ways, and

1503
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Cromarty going against Cleveland's wide receiver corps. I just

1504
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: they had Cleveland's no pass catching tight end. I don't

1505
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 1: like the matchup for Cleveland's offense on any I don't know.

1506
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: It's it's an odd number year. That's usually the year

1507
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: when Antonio Crimarti absolutely wastes money that the team gives him.

1508
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I could I could totally see this game being six

1509
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: to three or seven to six entering the fourth quarter. Sure,

1510
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: I do not think this is going to be a shootout,

1511
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. Well, but New York has

1512
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: of confidence, my level, my piece scale, No, I mean yeah,

1513
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's a pretty easy Week one matchup. You

1514
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,799
Speaker 1: got the Browns. Hold it on paper? How how confident

1515
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: as somebody that works for the NFL. I do get

1516
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: texts like two a week, especially uh during this time,

1517
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: people who should I take in my um suicide pool?

1518
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: I think they call it a confidence pool now because

1519
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: society deems that suicide can't be said. But I'm saying

1520
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: knockout for driver King the Hill, all that stuff. I

1521
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: think the Jets are a very good pick if you

1522
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: have to use these at home against a bad Browns

1523
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 1: team with um not a lot going for it. I'm

1524
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: very confident that that's the worst advice that anyone's ever

1525
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: given on this show. I mean, that's that's it's a

1526
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: Survivor pool. I love when people are like, oh, let's

1527
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: try to save picks for later. That's how people get

1528
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: knocked out in week one when you pick a game

1529
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: between two bads. Okay, with you talking about Survivor Pool

1530
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 1: picks and your strategy with that, that's that's fine. Picking

1531
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,679
Speaker 1: the games I have an issue with this is fine.

1532
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,839
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is like a coin flip game. Basically,

1533
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: you give the Jets a little bit of it. I

1534
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: think it is. You give the Jets. I think it'll

1535
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: win nine games. They better win it home. Put it

1536
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: this way, like I said, if they blow this game

1537
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: against the Browns, I'm just going for a walk using

1538
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots in my confidence pool, going for a walk

1539
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 1: to your computer where you're gonna write about it. You're

1540
01:16:54,800 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: as signed one last time. Let's do it t dly Mark, alright,

1541
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: let's roll out our final what's more likely. Which team

1542
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,879
Speaker 1: Will it be the Browns that makes a panic induced

1543
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: week one quarterback switch, or will the Texans make a

1544
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: week one panic induced signal callers switch? Answer me now

1545
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: after week one, so well, this way it goes wrong

1546
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 1: in week one where it's in the final couple of minutes,

1547
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 1: or Harley Fried type of situation happens where they trade

1548
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: the week one starting quarterback before week two, which that

1549
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: may never be repeated in NFL. His that led to

1550
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: a ten win season for Cleveland. I'm gonna try that

1551
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: the Texans are more more likely because they have a

1552
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: good backup. And I'm looking at these two pictures if

1553
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: you're watching on video between Hoyer and McCown and you

1554
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,879
Speaker 1: can kind of see why everyone in Cleveland just believes

1555
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: in Josh McCown more a good looking guys, kind of

1556
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: like Captain America. I think he's kind of snowed everyone

1557
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: over with his good looks. And Brian Lawyer looks like

1558
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: the lead singer of Live very much so Ed Koen

1559
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: the point where you can't put them in the same

1560
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: place in the nineties of the same time. Right. This

1561
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: is how I'm positive that I know the answer to

1562
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 1: this that it is the Texans in this scenario because

1563
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: we saw it in Hard Knocks. We were in the

1564
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: room when Brian what's his name, Bill O'Brien, Jesus Bill

1565
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: O'Brien said, listen, hey, bro, you won the job, but

1566
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: it really wasn't a big difference. And be ready Ryan,

1567
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: now it so if Hoyer stinks it out and then

1568
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: you look on the other side of the Browns, if

1569
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: Manzel was healthy, maybe you could talk yourself into it.

1570
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: But I think if he's coming in, it's gonna be

1571
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna need the reps. He's gonna have to get

1572
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: the arm right. I think the Texans. Do you agree

1573
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: with us? I do for exactly the reasons you said

1574
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: it was. There's nothing I can add to that. Well, uh,

1575
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Will said, you could have said you could have saved

1576
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: me on the Bill O'Brien thing. We tried. I thought

1577
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: you were saying, Brian Hoyn you know there was another

1578
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,640
Speaker 1: Brian involved. We didn't want to steer you wrong. So

1579
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: al right, so there we go. Those are our picks

1580
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: and that's our analysis for all the Week one games.

1581
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: We we'll be back on Sunday night for our first

1582
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: Sunday I called our flagship show, or so I don't

1583
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: know your flagship show. The flagship program for NFL Night,

1584
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,200
