14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: training camp episode. Here to break it down with me

Speaker 1: one of the most accurate rankers and projectors in the game,

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: one of the sharpest betters in the game, the odds

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: maker Sean Kerner.

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Sean, what's going on?

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,400

Speaker 3: Man?

23
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: Knocking out these pods.

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: This is we're reporting back to back, so be sure

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: to check out our AFC episode. We ran through each team,

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: hit on a key question or two for each. We'll

27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: do the same with all sixteen NFC teams on this episode.

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: So let's jump right in the Dallas Cowboys. My question

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: looking at Dallas is the offensive line is going to

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: be significantly younger.

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: You know, they let go of Tyron Smith and b

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: a Ace.

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: They have Tyra Geiton around one selection Slady to start

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: at left tackle. You got Cooper beieb who is a babe,

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: is a Round three pick. He's probably going to be

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: in the mix on the interior, y'all. So have Nathan Thomas,

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: a seventh rounder, you know, so a lot of guys

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: outside of Tyra Smith, a lot of newness on this line,

39
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: and the running game take a step back, even though

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't great last year. You got you know, Ezekiel

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Elliott and Rico Daubele atop the depth chart. So is

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: there gonna be kind of too much pressure on Dak

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: considering you know, the O line in the run game.

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there could be.

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: And I never thought about combining you know, the what

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: potentially are some offensive line issues with you know, bringing

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: back Zeke to be your starting running back. I didn't

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: think of it that way, but that that is a

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: good point. It's gonna put a lot more pressure on Dak.

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: I think you can handle it. But now you know

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: we're seeing Ceedee Lamb hold out. I'm sure that'll sort

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: itself out. But that's just another wrinkle that you know,

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 4: could pose problems down the road. But yeah, I think

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: oftentimes these kind of things with just the offensive line,

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: maybe the individual players, you know, step up, but it's

56
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: always nice to have continuity. And it does take time

57
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: for an offensive line to gel even if they're they're

58
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 4: good players. So this could be an issue that I

59
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 4: think the market is potentially overlooking.

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean you do have two very good

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: interior linemen in Smith and then Zach Martin, so you know,

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't hurt Zeke too much, but you got

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: questions at center, you got questions at both tackle spots,

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: so you know there there is some downside here. You're

65
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna put a lot on Dak and you know, Ceedee

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Lamb is responsible for so much of that passing offense too. Uh.

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: You know, Tolbert is looks like he's gonna have to

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: step up in that number three roll. So there's a

69
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: few moving pieces for this, this Dallas offense. So it

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: might not look quite as smooth as it did a

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: year ago, and as it has for you know, much

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: of the last two years, especially when Dallas is at home,

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: they put up big numbers almost every week.

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: The Giants, uh, you know, they are the feature team

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: on hard Knock. So we've gotten some kind of insight

77
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: into you know, Joe, Shane and Dabo and how they're thinking.

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: What question comes to mind when you look at the

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: New York Giants into twenty twenty four.

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so my question is just, you know, following Darren

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: Waller's retirement, who's going to step up at tight end?

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: And I think that you know, Daniel Bellinger is the

83
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: default starting tight end after Waller's retirement. You know, he

84
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: was their fourth round pick in twenty twenty two, but

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: he's yet to really like impress as a pass catcher

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: or as a blocker in his first two seasons. You know,

87
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: he's just the slightly blowout average type of tight end.

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: So I think that they took Theo Johnson the fourth

89
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: round kind of knowing that Waller was going to retire

90
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: and they're hoping that he can step up as soon

91
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: as this year. But THEO Johnson's a pretty raw rookie.

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: He's very athletic. He was the most athletic tight end

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: from this class, but he just wasn't that as productive

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 4: as you to spec de pen say. He wasn't even

95
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: the most productive tight end on his own team. So

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: that that's just like concern and as we know, the

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: tight end positions one of the toughest to transition to

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: from college NFL, so it could take a player like

99
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: Theo Johnson, you know, a few seasons to really pick

100
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: up you know, the NFL at the speed of the game.

101
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: And things like that.

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: So you know, he's a player I'm gonna be watching

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: very closely in camp preseason, but he has a hip injury,

104
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 4: so he might actually miss quite a bit of camp,

105
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: maybe not even playing the preseason.

106
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: We'll see.

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 4: So that's that's a pretty big setback because behind him,

108
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 4: you know, the depth charts pretty weak. They have guys

109
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 4: like Jack Stole, Chris Manhertz. They also have you know,

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: Lawrence Cager and Tyree Jackson who converted a tight end

111
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago from various positions. So it's

112
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: all looking great, but as of now, I think their

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 4: hope is that Theo Johnson can adjust quickly step up

114
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: as a rookie, and if not, you know, Daniel Bellinger

115
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: is the safer option, albeit not a great one.

116
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

117
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough with the with Johnson going on the

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: the pup and missing time because that you know, for

119
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: tight ends that that really, you know, hurts. So I

120
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: think what they're they'll probably have to just make do

121
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: with Bellinger and use him mostly as a blocker. You know,

122
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: they have Neighbors at receiver, and you know that's really

123
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: the strength of their offense at this point. It's not

124
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: a great receiving corps, but neighbors could kind of transform it.

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: And you know, compared to the offensive line, compared to

126
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: pretty much any other position group on the offense, I

127
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: think the receivers have the most upside.

128
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: So that's probably what they'll feature. Uh.

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: They kind of telegraph that by you know, not re

130
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: signing sa Quon Barkley. So yeah, I think it will

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: be Bellinger this year, just because you know, he's been

132
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, the the guy. You know, he's been involved

133
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: since Dable took over. You know, even with Waller on

134
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: the squad, it was you know, he was spent a

135
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: lot of time hurt. So yeah, I think I think

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna unfortunate we be Bellinger for most of this

137
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: year and Johnson barring like a quick quick recovery, Uh,

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: probably probably a year away from being you know the

139
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: guy that's going to be truly a difference maker the

140
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. You know, they change coaching staffs here. Ron

141
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Rivera is finally out and you have a you know,

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. I think that's interesting. He's the offensive coordinator

143
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: for the Washington Commanders. So Dan Quinn, you know, the

144
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: head coach. You know, he struggled at times at the

145
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: end of his Atlanta tenure. So my question is, I

146
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: mean a lot of new pieces, but I think Gayden

147
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: Daniels can he be transformative for this offense under Kingsbury

148
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: Because if Daniels, if they hit on Daniels, you know,

149
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: everything else will kind of fall into place.

150
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: I think he's a high upside prospect, has a ton

151
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: of rushing upsides, so maybe if he's not there quite

152
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: yet as a passer, he could still lean on that

153
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: kind of what we saw like justin Fields in Chicago.

154
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you know.

155
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 4: He's kind of compared to Lamar Jackson. He does have

156
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: you know, really good rushing up side. But I think

157
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: that he's really hard to find a comp to. But

158
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: I think that Deshaun Watson when he was on the Texans,

159
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: not the shitty version of the Browns we were talking

160
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 4: about last pod, but when he was on the Texans

161
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: could be like his upside. He does have a pretty

162
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: big arm, has more rushing upside than Watson did for

163
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: the Texans, So I think he could, you know, be

164
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: a hit. He's by no means a slam dunck, but

165
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: I think just given his rushing up side, it could

166
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: overcome his shortcomings as a passer potentially as rookie. And

167
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: I do like the pass catchers that they have surrounding him.

168
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: You know, Terry mclaurin's very good number one wide receiver.

169
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 4: He has some you know, a veteran tight end and

170
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: Zach Ertz who can help out. And you know, Austin

171
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 4: Eckler is a good pass catcher by the back to

172
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: I think it will be critical for Johan Dottson. I'm

173
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 4: not sure what happened last year is really a disappointing

174
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 4: season for him. You know, he was a first round

175
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 4: pick a couple of years ago. If he could bounce

176
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: back and have a good season, I think that's going

177
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: to be part of what, you know, helps elevate Daniels

178
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: and the rest of this offense. But I think Daniels himself,

179
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: you know, could be a good fit here, and I

180
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: think he has enough qualities to be a successful rookie quarterback.

181
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: How good that is remains to be seen, but I

182
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: think he does have a ton of upside.

183
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and right now he's around six to wonder and

184
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: win Rookie of the Year. Cable Williams is, you know,

185
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: the odds on favorite, but Jaden Daniels goes higher than

186
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: than Williams in a lot of fantasy drafts, especially you

187
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: know on sites with the Sharper ADPs, so you know

188
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: that says, hey, he's going to put up a better

189
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: statistical season. So I think Daniels is a nice Rookie

190
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: of the Year pick, and you know, any type of

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: positive buzz in camp, I think that those odds will shortened,

192
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: so that that's something to look out for with Washington.

193
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm bothsh on Daniels. I think, you know,

194
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: forty touchdowns and four picks last year, throwing the ball

195
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: over eleven one hundred yards, running the ball, he can

196
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: do it all.

197
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: So it might take some time, but I do think.

198
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: He's better than a guy like Justin Fields. So I'm

199
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: optimistic about Daniels. But now we have the Philadelphia Eagles.

200
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: Really things really started to come apart last year after

201
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: that ten and one start, you know, the coaching staff

202
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: seemed to be in flex, a lot of brain drained

203
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: the year from the year before with you know, them

204
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl and getting their coordinators coach.

205
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: But now you got Kellen Moore as the new offensive coordinator.

206
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: No more Jason Kelcey at center, though, but you do

207
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: have Saquon Barkley.

208
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: What are you thinking?

209
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: What is your question when it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles.

210
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to go with just will we see

211
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: any changes to the tush push in twenty twenty four?

212
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: And you know, it's an infamous play formation that's become

213
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: part of their identity, and in a good way. It

214
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: had a ninety three percent success rate last season. It's

215
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: really become a cheeko that only the Eagles have been

216
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 4: able to kind of figure out. I think the Colts

217
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: it played around with it last year, but it does

218
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: give the Eagles a sneaky advantage weekend and week out.

219
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: And I'm on the assumption that it's gonna stay the same,

220
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: It's going to be just as successful and Jalen Hurts

221
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: will be the main ballcarrier. But there's some moving pieces

222
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: here where we could see some potential changes to it.

223
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: Who knows, but you know they Jason Kelsey, the center,

224
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: is retired.

225
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: He was a huge part of the Tush push.

226
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: They have a new offensive coordinator in Kell Moore, and

227
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: now they have one of the best running backs in

228
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: the league in Saquon Barkley. So I'm just wondering if

229
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 4: we could see some wrinkles, like Barkley becoming the main

230
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: ball carrier or maybe some variation. I know, I think

231
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: at one point they kind of experimented with like pitching

232
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: it back to the running back, throwing defenses off guard

233
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: even more. But I'm just wondering if kell Moore has

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 4: any ideas of like varying it or just sticking with

235
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 4: it because it's so successful. But that's something that I've

236
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 4: mentioned where if you know, Barkley does start to see

237
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 4: carries from that around the goal line, that's going to

238
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 4: significantly impact how we project touchdowns for Jail and Hurts

239
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 4: and Saquon Barkley. And you know, it could end up

240
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 4: being the same as it has the past few seasons,

241
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: but it could be interesting to say, at least if

242
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: they do work in some sort of variation just based

243
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 4: on the various factors that that could cause them like

244
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: that going into this season.

245
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

246
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, just given that they you know, so much

247
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: turnover you know on the coach and staff, with with

248
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: coming more or a big turnover with coming more coming in,

249
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: I do think you'll see some wrinkles.

250
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: And who knows.

251
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe maybe they're just going to go away

252
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: from it a little bit and just be more play it,

253
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: more straight up with just hand the ball to Barkley.

254
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, maybe when Kelsey retired, they were

255
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: they part of the that was part of the calculus

256
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: for signing a guy like bark We was, okay, you

257
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: know we need a more powerful uh you know back

258
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: and we need to take you know, we can't just

259
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: keep Ram and Hurts in there, especially without our our

260
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: all pro center.

261
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: So I think that's another thing.

262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Just the frequency of the touch push could go down

263
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: as well.

264
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: In addition to the to the wrinkles.

Speaker 1: The NFC West the top over there.

276
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: I'll start with the.

277
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: Niners, and I think the big question is, you know,

278
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Brandon Ayuke, you know, will we

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: be traded? And you know, if he is, how does

280
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: that impact the offense? You know, peer, I mean he

281
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: was kind of pro ready, but I don't know how

282
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: much upside he has, you know, first round pick for

283
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the Niners this year at wide receiver out of Florida.

284
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: What do you think about IU and how this is

285
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: all gonna sort itself out?

286
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 4: This is fascinating, especially if it happens. You know, you

287
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: mentioned Pierceall He just picked up a hamsterring injury, so

288
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: maybe that does impact you know, pump the brakes on this.

289
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: But from what I've heard and correct and if I'm wrong,

290
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: that like the two most likely teams would be the

291
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: Steelers and commanders for you to end up.

292
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that. I think that's I've heard

293
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: that as well.

294
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: I think the commanders are a lot more intriguing because

295
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: you have, you know, rookie quarterback and Daniels Steelers. I

296
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: mean we kind of know what they are and what

297
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, Wilson and fields are for the most part.

298
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: So but but I mean that that could significantly impact

299
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: the Niners pass efficiency. I mean brock Per he has been,

300
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, a nine yard per attempt quarterback since he

301
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: took over the starting role. But you look at Ayuk

302
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: last year twelve point eight yards per target, seventeen point

303
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: nine yards per catch on seventy five catches, and I

304
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: mean he made some amazing catches last year average eighty

305
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: four yards per game. So you know, you still have Debo,

306
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: you still have Kittle, but Recre, I mean yeah, right right,

307
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: So but it would be a I don't think you'd

308
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: be quite as efficient because you know two of those three,

309
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: really all three of those guys, they're better when you

310
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: throw the ball to them underneath, and then you know

311
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: they'll make things happen after the catch. And Shanahan's great

312
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: it kind of scheming that stuff up, but I Yuk

313
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: was you know, the their top intermediate deep to deep threat,

314
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: so I and Pearsall is not the same kind of receiver.

315
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: So I do think you would see a significant downgrade

316
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: in terms of their yards per attempt and an efficiency

317
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: and whatnot if Ayuk was to to move off.

318
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

319
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, because last year, remember at this time of year,

320
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: there was some hype that, Wow, he's looking really good,

321
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: He's gonna break out, and it's just like we've kind

322
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: of heard that before. But he he looked like one

323
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: of the best receivers in the league last year.

324
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he looked that dominant.

325
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: So while they do have, you know, a ton of

326
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: other weapons, I think he definitely would be a significant

327
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 4: loss this year. Piers All might step up eventually, but

328
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: nowhere near the level of Brandon Ayuk.

329
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean that it's yeah, I don't there's

330
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: no comparison between those two guys. Say, piersaw might not

331
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: even be a factor, you know now he's missing time

332
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: yep and can't wait injuries.

333
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: Uh what about Seattle? What do you think of it

334
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: with Seattle?

335
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: They you know, also make a change at their head

336
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: coaching position. Pete Carroll out after you know, very long

337
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: and successful tenure. Now you got McDonald, the former Ravens

338
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. What are you thinking when it comes to

339
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks heading into camp.

340
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's stick with some wide receiver discussion here and

341
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 4: can Jackson Smith and Jigba make a year two leap

342
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: in this offense? And you know, he was the first

343
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 4: wide receiver off the board in last year's draft. Then

344
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: I compared his landing spot to Ceedee Lamb back in

345
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 4: twenty twenty when the Cowboys took him when they already

346
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 4: had two solid wide receivers and you know Amari Cooper

347
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 4: and Michael Gallop at the time. So it was always

348
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: gonna be tougher for Jsen to draw targets, you know,

349
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 4: with both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett on the field.

350
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: But you know, it was kind of frustrating how they

351
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 4: did use him. At the beginning of last year, he

352
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: was a very low a hop player, so he was

353
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: getting a lot of screen passes, a lot of shorter passes.

354
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: Weeks one through ten, his average up to the target

355
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 4: was his four point four, but Week eleven on, you know,

356
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 4: it almost doubled and he saw his A dot to

357
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: eight point two. That's that's probably right about where it

358
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 4: should be. And he he didn't really get to break

359
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: out because both Lockett and Metcalf were healthy for most

360
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 4: of the year. Only Metcalf missed a game last year,

361
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: and you know, JSN went four catches, sixty three hours

362
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: and a touchdown, So he kind of saw a glimpse

363
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 4: of him being you know, at least a top two

364
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 4: receiver in this offense. But you know, going forward, he's

365
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: only going to get better. I compared him to having

366
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: similar you know, upside as like an Aman Ross Saint

367
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: Brown type. Probably needs a lot of targets to be

368
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 4: relevant and fancy, but he definitely has a skill set

369
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 4: to do it. So just unfortunately, as long as Metcalf

370
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 4: and Lockett are in the mix, it's going to be

371
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 4: tough for him. So well, he's you know, completely different

372
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: type of receiver than Ceedee Lamb. I think we see

373
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 4: a similar career arc where it maybe takes him you know,

374
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: three to four years or if you know, Metcalf or

375
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: Lockett miss excented time for him to truly break out,

376
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: but I think it'll happen. We're kind of seeing that

377
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: now with Ceedee Lamb Like he's you know, arguably the

378
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: best receiver in the league right now that he's the

379
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 4: alph in the offense.

380
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: So I think with JSN, the.

381
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: Talent's there, just he might not have the opportunity until

382
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: potentially next year or the year after when they move

383
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 4: on from Lockett or something. So he's a guy that

384
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 4: you definitely don't want to sleep on. The talent is

385
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 4: still there and his time will come. Whether or not

386
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: it's this year remains to be seen. But he's a

387
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: guy I'm still very very high on.

388
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I'm actually cautiously optimistic about him

389
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: for this year because I think the key with the

390
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense is that, you know, there's a whole regime

391
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: change going on, and their new offensive coordinator is Ryan Grubb,

392
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: who was previously the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and

393
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: quarterback coach.

394
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: At Washington University.

395
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: So this is a guy who's spent you know, the

396
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: last couple of decades in a college ranks. This is

397
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: his first NFL job, I believe, So you know, there's

398
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: a lot there's a reset, right and you know, I

399
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: think the offensive line could could be really bad. It's

400
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: ranked number thirty one in PFF's rankings right now, you know,

401
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: not not a lot there, A lot of the younger

402
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: guys didn't take you know, steps forward that that we

403
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: would have hoped. But you know, if that's the case,

404
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: you know JSN operating kind of underneath intermediate more. Uh,

405
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: they that might be necessary, you know, because that offense,

406
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: if that offensive line isn't good. But you know, new

407
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, new coaching staff, maybe they finally, you know,

408
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: maybe what Lockett takes a bit of a step back.

409
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: You know, they did get rid of, you know, their

410
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: blood of tight ends now looks like it's pretty much

411
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: just no a fan, no Kobe Parkinson and will Dislee.

412
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

413
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: You know that the the running back rotation could change

414
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: between Sharbonne and Kenneth Walker. So you also got Howell

415
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings that if Gino uh is you know,

416
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't play well.

417
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: So a lot of moving pieces here.

418
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: But given that JSN is you know, youngest guy, the

419
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: guy with the most kind of most space to grow,

420
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I think he's going to have a

421
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: pretty decent season. I think, you know, the danger is

422
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: kind of just projecting the Seahawks usage based on you

423
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: know the last few years where it was Shane Waldron

424
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: at offensive coding over the last three years, which is

425
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: with this current crop of players he's been he's been in,

426
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: so we could see some some drastic changes, you know

427
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: with grub in just in terms of the snap rates

428
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: and the scheme and whatnot. And then the offensive line

429
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: could also factor in. But yeah, I'm coutally optimistic on JSN.

430
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Rams, you know, surprise playoff team last year.

431
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Somehow a bunch of guys he had at Google on defense,

432
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: but Aaron Donalds still held it down. They end up

433
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. But the defense number twenty two in

434
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: DVO way, can they hold up now without Aaron donald

435
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: or is that going to sink their playoff chances? Because

436
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: we know the offense can get it done. We've seen

437
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: Stafford do it. You know, Cupp is healthy, Robinson's a

438
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: nice third option, got Tyn Williams and Korham in the

439
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: run game. Parkinson should should be solid replacing Higbee. But

440
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think of this Ram defense?

441
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: Well, we thought that they were going to take a

442
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: huge step back last year and they kind of overachieved.

443
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 4: So it's hard to see how they really overachieve again

444
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: losing you know, a first Bell Hall of Famer like

445
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald. But they did, you know, attack it in

446
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: in the draft. You know, Jared they took Jared Verse

447
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 4: in the first round. So they've been they've been making

448
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: moves to to help at least and you know, when

449
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 4: you look at their their secondary should be pretty solid.

450
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: You know, they brought in Tredervous White and you know

451
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 4: they still have the pieces and maybe the coaching to overachieve.

452
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 4: But I don't know how you lose a guy like

453
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 4: Aaron Donald and and improved. So I think it could be,

454
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 4: you know, they could take a step back. And that's

455
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 4: kind of why I've been hinting at I've been investing in,

456
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: you know, the Rams offense. It goes out saying, but

457
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 4: you know they're they're loaded on offense, but they might

458
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 4: need to throw a bit more this year because they

459
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 4: might be conceding more points. So yeah, I think losing

460
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: guy like Aaron Donald, it's gonna be hard to overcome

461
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: that this year.

462
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not for nothing, but you know you mentioned Verse,

463
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: and you know Kobe Turner played very well last season,

464
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: even as did Bobby Brown, you know, a fourth round

465
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: pick from twenty twenty one. But you know how much

466
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: of that you know was aided by the presence of

467
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Donald because you know, he makes it easier for everyone else.

468
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what I'm going to be watching,

469
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: just you know, what are the reports. You know, defense

470
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: is usually ahead of the offenses, you know in camp,

471
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: So you know, are we gonna see that because this

472
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: is a good offense or is the offense gonna kind

473
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: of be getting the best of them, because you know,

474
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: if if Turner can play as well as he played

475
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: last year, if Brown can play as well as he played,

476
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: and then you add verse to that mix.

477
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: You know Cam Curl at safety. I like him.

478
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: They got him from Washington. You mentioned that the cornerback

479
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: group could be south, so it could be solid defense,

480
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: but a lot it's really depends on that offensive line

481
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and how they play, excuse me, that defensive line and

482
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: how they play without uh, without Donald.

483
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 2: So that's that's what we got to watch for the

484
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals.

485
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: They are in year two of this Jonathan Gannon regime.

486
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: You know, they retooled it on offense. Defense still looking shaky,

487
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: but uh, what do you what are you kind of

488
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: wondering about with this Cardinals?

489
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: What are you watching for them heading into preseason?

490
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

491
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm wondering if you know Paris Johnson Junior

492
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 4: will break out in year two sliding over to left tackle.

493
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 4: You know, last year the Cardinals took him as the

494
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 4: sixth overall pick. He played left tackle at Ohio State,

495
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 4: but they are at DJ Humphries, so you know, they

496
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: plugged him in at right tackle. He played there for

497
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 4: every single one of his one nine stats last year

498
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: and he did okay. You know, he graded as the

499
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 4: fifty ninth tackle out of eighty five on PFF, which

500
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: you know, rookie offensive linemen don't always hit. He did

501
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: allow the most pressures on the team at forty two.

502
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: But again, like they're they released Humphries, they signed Joni

503
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 4: Williams to play right tackle, so they're slighting Paris back

504
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 4: to his traditional position at left tackles. So I'm hoping,

505
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: you know, he makes the year to leap. We were

506
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: kind of expecting this, you know, this rookie season might

507
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 4: be hit or miss just due to the position change.

508
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 4: It's just funny how that works. These guys, they really train,

509
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: you know, to be blocking from guys coming a certain angle,

510
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 4: so it can cause injury, a lack of production. So

511
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 4: I'm just really curious to see if pair Johnson, very

512
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 4: talented offensive lineman, can can really break out and become

513
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 4: one of the top left tackles in year two at.

514
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: His you know, his home position.

515
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that would go a long way because I

516
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: think you know, the Cardinals they found something late in

517
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the year, you know, with the run game, but their

518
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: offensive line you mentioned PFF. PFF has the Cardinals ranked

519
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: bottom five, twenty eighth in the offensive line. So you know,

520
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: Johnson improving, we go a long way to kind of

521
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: shore that up because you got Harrison, you got McBride,

522
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: Michael Wilson's a nice player. I think Connor and Benson good.

523
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: So the skill positions and obviously Kyle are healthy for

524
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: a full off season, so the scale positions on offense

525
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: are there. But you know, this offensive line did not

526
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: great out well last year, so if Johnson doesn't make

527
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: a leap, it could that that could be kind of

528
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: their undoing. In addition to the defense, which I think

529
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: still needs work as well, the NFC South is looks like,

530
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: at least in terms of the Vegas project projections.

531
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: Excuse me, it looks like the weakest division.

532
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: You have the Falcons atop it with a win total

533
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: of nine and a half. But let's start with the

534
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, who I was just talking about the

535
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: PFFO line rankings New Orleans and this is I could

536
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: have guessed this, but they're ranked dead last. And that's

537
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: because I know McCoy is good, you know, in the middle,

538
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: but you got rookie at left tackle, you got potential,

539
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, competition at left guard, and then you know

540
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: Ruiz was bad and Penning was really bad at in ramcheck.

541
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: You know he's not going to play this year. So

542
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: I mean Candice offense. I know, they got rid of Carmichael,

543
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: the long time offensive four nator, and hired Clint Kubiak,

544
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: which should help, you know, more motion and whatnot.

545
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: But canna New Orleans offense.

546
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: With Camara year older, with Carr kind of middling learning

547
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: another new offense. Can they overcome that that that O line?

548
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: Probably not.

549
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 4: They're They're not a team I'm I'm too high on.

550
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 4: And yeah, the offensive line is certainly a concern. Derek

551
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 4: Carr does have some attributes that can kind of overcome

552
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 4: a shaky offensive line. He had the fifth fastest you

553
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 4: know release last year. He has a you know, a

554
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: pretty low pressure to sack rate. I think that's that's huge.

555
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: If if he had above average presser to sack rate,

556
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 4: you know, that would be a bit of a concern.

557
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 4: So I think, you know, they'll overcome it. But last year,

558
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 4: they you know, they finished with what nine wins, but

559
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: they had the easiest schedule. So they're they're a team

560
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: that while I think they were kind of unlucky last year,

561
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: I'm expecting a step back this year. And yeah, just

562
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: offensive line is such a huge part to a team

563
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: that you're they're already starting on on the wrong foot

564
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: with arguably the worst offensive line heading into this season.

565
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think honestly, a lot of those Derek Carr

566
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: numbers are it's kind of paper tiger ish. I mean,

567
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times it just felt like

568
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: he was like predetermining what he was going to do

569
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: with the ball. It's like drawback, look deep, either throw

570
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: deep or like kind of like Russell Wilson, Not not

571
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: to that extent, but it just seemed like there was

572
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: there were things being missed and even though the numbers

573
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: don't look terrible for Car. He did, you know, kind

574
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: of pads the stats with a forty eight to seventeen

575
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: win in Week eighteen over Atlanta. He threw four touchdowns,

576
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: no picks in that game, completed seventy nine percent of

577
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: his passes, so his numbers wouldn't have looked quite as good,

578
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, when things mattered. But you know, way too

579
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: many dump offs to Camara. Seemed like even though Olave

580
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: got his numbers, he wasn't He didn't necessarily help New

581
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: Orleans win as much as he probably should given his talent.

582
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: Uh So I do like Shahied that I think I

583
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: think they need to get shaheda more involved. And you know,

584
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: Shahid actually managed to have success even with Carr kind

585
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: of playing very oddly and not the greatest deep bass rower.

586
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: So he was number five in the league and in

587
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: deep yarded so I do like him. But yeah, this

588
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: offensive line is a big concern, and Car honestly is

589
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: a big concern because you know, we know Carr struggles

590
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: when he's learning a new offense, and he struggles when

591
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: you know he's under pressure and he you know, he's

592
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: got to just kind of get rid of the ball,

593
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: because it's yes, he can get rid of the ball,

594
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: but is it going to be efficient?

595
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: You know, is it going to help them win?

596
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Because last year the numbers looked fine, like league average

597
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: yard per attempt, you know, had some some good games,

598
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: had some touchdown passes, but New Orleans was never really

599
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: super competitive in terms of, you know, challenging for a playoff,

600
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: trying to make a play a playoff run. So yeah,

601
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: I am very concerned about this offensive line, and I

602
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: think that's the reason to you know, Camara, you got

603
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: to kind of think about him as he as he ages,

604
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: and you know, I think people might be a little

605
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: too high.

606
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: And Kendre Miller as well. We don't even know if

607
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: he can stay healthy.

608
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, not not high on on New Orleans either,

609
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: But what else is new?

610
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: Last year?

611
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of not high, I was very low on the

612
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. But this year things looking a little different.

613
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: What are you looking out for for Carolina in year

614
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: one of the Dave Canalis era?

615
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just really ken Bryce Young bounced back and

616
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 4: year two after just a really bad rookie season, you know,

617
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 4: he was the number one overall pick. That's that's already,

618
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 4: you know, a ton of pressure.

619
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: C J.

620
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: Stroud had an amazing season. So just really bad year

621
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 4: for Bryce Young. And you know, obviously he's he deserves

622
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: a lot of the blame, but he didn't have a

623
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 4: great supporting cast, had to endure his head coach, Frank

624
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: Right getting fired during the season.

625
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: You know, we've seen.

626
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 4: Former number one overall picks like Trevor Lawrence just have

627
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 4: a disasters rookie season and the Buns back when they

628
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 4: had a competent you know, coaching staff and you know,

629
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: better weapons around him. So they're bringing in new you know,

630
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: new head coach Dave Kanalis, who has a history of

631
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 4: turning around quarterbacks with you know, Smith Baker Mayfield, and

632
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: they brought in a couple of weapons for him. You know,

633
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: Deontay Johnson's an excellent receiver. Xavier Lagette, well, we'll see

634
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 4: how he looks, but I think it's a pretty good

635
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: pick in the first round. But they all he's trying

636
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: to get him some weapons. Jonathan Brooks was my favorite

637
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: running back of this class. I don't know how healthy

638
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: he'll be this year. But Bryce just has a much

639
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: better supporting cast. So this is really a make or

640
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 4: break year for him, just a show some sort of improvement.

641
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 4: He doesn't need to become like a top ten quarterback,

642
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 4: but he just needs to show some improvement because you know,

643
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: he's running out of excuses. Just based on the situation

644
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 4: heading into this year. I still believe and I you know,

645
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 4: he had a lot of talent. You know, maybe his

646
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 4: size and playing style was you know, tough for his

647
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 4: teammates to transition with him as a rookie. But I

648
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: think that he bounces back and has you know, a

649
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: solid year or two. But this is again, this is

650
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: a really key year to.

651
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 3: You know, part of his development.

652
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm bullish on the Panthers. I was.

653
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been more down on them last year.

654
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: I thought Frank Wright completely lost the plot. I mean

655
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: just watching the end of his tenure in Indianapolis, I

656
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: could I saw that coming from a mile away. But

657
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: number one, they added Robert Hunt, you know, shored up

658
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: that interior line, which is very important for a guy,

659
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: a short quarterback like Young and mentioned it to the supporting cast.

660
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: He added, guys Jontay Johnson can actually get open. He's

661
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: one of the best route runners in the league with

662
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: get I know he's struggling with some injuries, but if

663
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: he can get on the field, I think he should

664
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: be better than the Mingo from day one, and thelan

665
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: was was a thousand yard receiver last year. He's you know,

666
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: he's up there in age, but you know, as a

667
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, third option or something like that. I think

668
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: he's He's solid veteran presence, Brooks, Jatavian Sanders at tight end,

669
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: and then Canallas whose career year from Gino career year

670
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: from Baker Mayfield back to back, and then Gino kind

671
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: of fell off a little bit once Canal has moved on.

672
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm bullish on the Panthers. You know, they're

673
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: eleven to one to win the division.

674
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: I love that bet.

675
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: You usually see one last the first team every every year,

676
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: just over one per year. I think they I think

677
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: they get over their win total. You know, they have

678
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: that last play schedule. So I think there's a lot

679
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: to like and a weak division, you know. I mean

680
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: they can they can. They can beat the Saints on

681
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: the road, they can beat they can beat the Falcons

682
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: on the road.

683
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: They can beat the Bucks on the road.

684
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think this Panther team I'm not saying

685
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: they'll be great, but you know, they might be average,

686
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: and average might you know, like eight, nine, nine and

687
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: eight might be all you need to get it done

688
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: in this division. So I'm gonna be kind of watching

689
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: the Panthers to see if you know that it kind

690
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: of comes to fruition and Young is actually improving or

691
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's just speculation, but I am optimistic on

692
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: Carolina this year. The Atlanta Falcons, I think the big

693
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: question for them is, you know, how explosive can this

694
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: offense be? Now that Arthur Smith is gone, Zach Robinson

695
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: takes over at offensive coordinator, and of course Kirk Cousins

696
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: was acquired to play quarterback.

697
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: He's coming off in Achilles.

698
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: But you know, the lot of weapons Bijon London, Pits

699
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Mooney and Moore, Rondelle Moore from Arizona, so pretty pretty solid,

700
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: receiving foreign skill position group all the way around, and

701
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: they have a top ten offensive line as well. So

702
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: how how explosive do you think that this Falcon offense

703
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: can be? Given that Cousins is, you know, coming off

704
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: an injury and learning a new system and getting up

705
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: there in age.

706
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: But I mean on paper, it looks pretty good.

707
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know.

708
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 4: I think this can be a very explosive offense, really

709
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 4: just setback by poor quarterback play last year Desmond Ritter.

710
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: And if you remember, the first time I actually had

711
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: the courage to bet on the Panthers was Week fifteenth

712
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 4: when they played the Falcons and I watched that entire

713
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 4: ugly game.

714
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: It was in the rain. The Panthers won ninety seven.

715
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: But I remember thinking, if the Falcons had any other

716
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: quarterback under center, they win that game, like Ritter was

717
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 4: the reason they lost that game.

718
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 3: So just having a guy like Kirk.

719
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 4: Cousins, say what you will about him, he's way better

720
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 4: than a guy like Ritter, and he has plenty of

721
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 4: weapons around him.

722
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 3: You know, Bijon Robinson is a real deal.

723
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: I love Drake Lenon. I can't wait to see an

724
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 4: actual quarterback throwing him the ball. And Kyle Pitts could

725
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 4: finally have his breakout. So I can't wait to see

726
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 4: how this offense looks with the new coordinator and with

727
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: a competent quarterback like Cousins under center. And his achilles

728
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 4: is something that you know, watched during training camp.

729
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: But he's not the.

730
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 4: Type of quarterback that really uses legs, you know, for

731
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 4: to buy time or to scramble or anything like that.

732
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 4: So I think that he has a solid chance to

733
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 4: regain his form even after a devastating injury like that.

734
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 4: But I think in this offense, like he's going to

735
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 4: raise everyone ceiling around him, which I can't wait to

736
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 4: see for fantasy and real life purposes.

737
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, desert Ruter was like if you're playing Madden and

738
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: right when you're about to cross the goal line, you

739
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: just press the lateral button and you just yeat the

740
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: ball like not into the end zone. Like I feel

741
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: like he had like two or three near touchdowns that

742
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: he just completely screwed up and fumbled where it was

743
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: like an inch away from the goal line. It just

744
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: inexplicably somehow did not get it over the plane. So yeah,

745
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: Ridder was not good. But you know the thing about

746
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: these achilles injuries is just they just haven't been that

747
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: many of them, right, So I do think there is

748
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: there's always some uncertainty there just because you know, it's

749
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: there's just simply not many players that tear their achilles

750
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: and then come back, especially guys that are that are

751
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: then counted on to be the starting quarterback for their team.

752
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, you know, we saw like cam Akers really struggle,

753
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: but even he had like he played well at times,

754
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: but clearly you know, hurt him. And and you know

755
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: Marino back in the nineties, I think came back from

756
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: from Achilles just fine. But it's it's rare even we

757
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: don't even have a big sample size, so there is

758
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: some downside risk here. But on paper, everything looks good.

759
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Cousin's health is what I'm really

760
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: going to be looking out for, because if he's healthy,

761
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: then then I think this Falcon team is you know,

762
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: all systems go on offense at least well, they.

763
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: Might have one of the best backups in the league

764
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: now with Michael Pennix taking him eighth overall in the draft, so.

765
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 2: He wasn't supposed to play well.

766
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: If not if Kirk Cousins, if the achilles you know,

767
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: prevents him from playing week one or flares up or something,

768
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 4: at least you know.

769
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: They have a better backup.

770
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

771
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: No, definitely like this and you know the play indoors,

772
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: so this often should be good.

773
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: It should it should be good.

774
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay they make a playoff run, last surprise playoff run.

775
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: Last year, even get a victory over Philly in the

776
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: wild card run. What on your mind as far as

777
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks enter in the twenty twenty four preseason.

778
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 4: Just you know, after Baker's successful debut with the Bucks,

779
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: can he have an encore season here? And you know,

780
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 4: he was formal former number one overall pick with the

781
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 4: Browns and they moved on with him to go to

782
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson and he just struggled to find a home

783
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 4: ever since. You know, he played for the both the

784
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 4: Panthers and Rams in twenty twenty two. Then last year

785
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 4: he put the Bucks and he had a career year,

786
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 4: led them to the playoffs, and you know, wild card

787
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 4: went over the Eagles. So he has a lot to

788
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: live up to here for an encore, but it earned

789
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 4: him a three year, one hundred million dollars and he's

790
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 4: going to be the Week one starter again this year,

791
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 4: So you know, it's just going to be interesting to

792
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: watch that, and especially with the fact that Dave Kanalis,

793
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 4: the quarterback whisperer, is now in Carolina. We saw Geno

794
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 4: Smith have his career with him in twenty twenty two

795
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 4: and then he kind of fell off a bit last year.

796
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 4: So will there be a dip this year. And will

797
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: it be because Canal's is gone.

798
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: Who knows.

799
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 4: But I think that Baker, you know, he should still

800
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 4: be fine this year. He has you know, one of

801
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 4: the best wide receiver duos and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

802
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: I think that's that's a lot of why he was

803
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 4: successful last year. But this this could just be a

804
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 4: pivotal season how people view him going forward. I think

805
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: he's going to be turning thirty next year, so just

806
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 4: you know, if he has another good season, then people

807
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 4: will kind of view him as you know, kind of

808
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 4: finally making it with the Bucks. But if he struggles again,

809
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: that could really you know, derail you know, the rest

810
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: of his career. So I think this is a key

811
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 4: season for him to you know, back it up and

812
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 4: have at least a comparable season was last year. Maybe

813
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 4: not win a playoff game, but still you know, look

814
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 4: like a function NFL quarterback. I think that's that's kind

815
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 4: of what I'm gamming looking for here with Baker and

816
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 4: the Bucks this year.

817
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: I'm kind of watching them as well because I do

818
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: think there's another one of these teams where I think

819
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: last year it was probably the year to invest there's

820
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things from a luck standpoint with this team.

821
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: Like for example, you had, yes, Baker Mayfield had a

822
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: great season, but you look at his pass catchers. Mike

823
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: Evans played all seventeen games, Chris Godwin played all seventeen games,

824
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: Kate Atton played all seventeen games, Trey Palmer played all

825
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: seventeen games. Were Shot White played all seventeen games. And

826
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: you know if those guys, if anybody gets hurt, you

827
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: know there's downside there. They're almost certain we will not

828
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: be as healthy. The interior line, I think is still

829
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: a concern. I still think they'll struggle to.

830
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: Run the ball.

831
00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: And you also had both tackles, you know, Gideki, it

832
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: really took a step forward in here too. But Worths

833
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: and Gadecki also played all seventeen games, So like every

834
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: key member of the offense played, you know, as much

835
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: as they possibly could. So there's going to be regression

836
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: before you even factor in, uh, you know, the loss

837
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: of Canalis. And then you know Baker himself was kind

838
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: of a volatile guy.

839
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you know he can.

840
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: He can play look really good one day and really

841
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: bad the next. So yeah, I'm I'm kind of curious

842
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: to see how this offense is shaping up in camp

843
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: William Cohen, another McVeigh disciple, but you know, it was

844
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: always McVeigh obviously calling the plays. So yeah, a lot

845
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: of moving pieces or a lot of downside I think,

846
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, on this Bucks offense, just based you know,

847
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: compared to their performance last year. All right, let's close

848
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: it out with the NFC North Green Bay. I think

849
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing to me is Joe Barry finally

850
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: got the boot at defensive coordinator.

851
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: Joe Halfway will take over.

852
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: Do you think this means Green Bay will finally stop

853
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: underachieving on defense? They were twenty seven and DVOA. Every

854
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: year they do pretty poorly, but they always have a

855
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: lot of talent on that side of the moll.

856
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna say they have I

857
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 4: would say above average talent. So it has been kind

858
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 4: of weird for them to be unachieving, you know, so

859
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 4: much Rashaun Gary to really turned into a stud and

860
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: they have Jerry Alexander and yeah, like they're one of

861
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 4: those teams. I am very bullish on the Packers. I think,

862
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: you know, Jordan Love was definitely not a fluke last year.

863
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 4: So even if their defense continues to struggle, I think

864
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 4: they'll be more than capable putting up a ton of points.

865
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, like their defense bouncing back and playing up

866
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: to their potential this year is a possibility and could

867
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 4: lead to them being, you know, a double digit team

868
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 4: this year, making the playoffs, winning some games in the playoffs.

869
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that's that's an interesting move that

870
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 4: they made, and I would hope and expect them to

871
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 4: be a much better this year.

872
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they finally stopped playing prevent defense on rundowns. You know,

873
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: they're just it's like, yeah, that's right. It's a line

874
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: up everyone five yards back from the line of scrimmage

875
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: and and let uh kway Walker trying to make you know,

876
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: every single attack like it's just I mean, Joe Barry

877
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: he had he should he.

878
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: Should have been gone well before this.

879
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 1: But you know, you got jyr Alexander, you got McKinney

880
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: from the Giants at safety. You mentioned Gary, like there's

881
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: there's talent over Smith. Uh So yeah, I'm I'm cautiously optimistic.

882
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: I think the offense will be fine. You know, they

883
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: they we know they got talent there. Maybe maybe some

884
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: things to iron out on the on the line, but

885
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: that there's talent there, but if the defense can make

886
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: a jump, that the Packers will be very very serious contenders.

887
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: And they were already in a mixed last year. So, uh, Minnesota,

888
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: they just mentioned cousins. They whose cousins? After you know,

889
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: he gets hurt mid season, they draft J. J. McCarthy

890
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: out of Michigan, also sign Sam Darnold. What are you

891
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: watching with the Vikings heading into the preseason?

892
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 4: The question I'm asking who's going to be their number

893
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 4: three wide receiver? And I think with you know t J.

894
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 4: Hawkinson potentially missing the start of the season, the number

895
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 4: three wide receiver could be a little bit more important

896
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 4: in this offense, especially if you know, Jordan Addison ends

897
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 4: up facing some sort of suspension with his off the

898
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 4: field issues and k J Osborne our boy is now

899
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 4: in New England, so that he would be obviously the

900
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 4: number three receiver, but with him gone, it's going to

901
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 4: be a battle between Brandon Powell, Trent Sherfield, and Jalen Naylor. Potentially,

902
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 4: I think that Brandon Powell, you know, might have the

903
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: inside track just because he has the most experience in

904
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 4: the offense and would be sort of the logical replacement

905
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 4: for kJ Osbourne, especially in the slot.

906
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 3: Jordan Adison can.

907
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 4: He can line up in the slot or outside, So

908
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: I guess it does depend on how the vikings and

909
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 4: vision using him in the offense this year as the

910
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 4: number two receiver, and I think you know Sherfield probably

911
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: seems like more of the direct backup for you know,

912
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson or Addison on the outside. But I think

913
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 4: Jalen Naylor could be a sneaky bet to win the job.

914
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 4: You know that the coaching staff does like him. He's

915
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 4: been limited the past year or so just due to injury,

916
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 4: so he could potentially become the number three receiver. And

917
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 4: last year in Week ten, when both Jefferson and Osborne

918
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 4: ro out, Naylor actually led the receiver outside of Jordan Adison.

919
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 4: He led the receivers with the ninety five routes run rate.

920
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 4: Powell just had a seventy eight percent route run participation.

921
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 3: So maybe it just depends on their game plan that week.

922
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 4: But it'll be interesting to see who steps up, because,

923
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 4: like I said, they might be needed more in the

924
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 4: early portion of the season with Hawkinson and maybe even

925
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: Addison out for a few games.

926
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think Powell's probably got the leg

927
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: up just because he's like a natural profiles as a

928
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: natural slot. You know, if Addison missed his time, then

929
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: I think Naylor may come into the mix. I always

930
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: liked him, but he for some reason just never never

931
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: put it all together. But I am in terms of

932
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: my projections. What I am projecting is more heavy personnel usage.

933
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: You got a rookie quarterback and Sam Darnold.

934
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: I think both of those quarterbacks kind of lend themselves

935
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: more to heavy personnel. You got one of the best

936
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: fullbacks in CJ. Hamm even with Hackinson out. You got

937
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver, one of the best blocking tight ends that

938
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: he paid big money for. And then Johnny Munt came

939
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: on strong down the stretches as a pass catcher. And

940
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: then you also signed Bobby Tunyan who is generating a

941
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: lot of camp buzz as well. So you could go,

942
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, you could have Oliver or Hams as the

943
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: blocker and then you know one of the past like

944
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: Tonyan or Month as a as a pass catcher and

945
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: kind of it that way, because I don't think you

946
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: want to force, you know, one to one personnel just

947
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: to play you know, Brandon Powell or or Jalen Naylor,

948
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: whoever it might be, so that that's kind of what

949
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm expecting. But I would say, as of right now, yeah,

950
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: I have I have Powell as the guy uh with

951
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: the leg up there?

952
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 3: All right?

953
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears, oh no wait, let's let's close with

954
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: the Chicago.

955
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to Detroit first. And my question is.

956
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: This past defense? You know it was it was okay

957
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: for half the year, but down the stretch and into

958
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs it started to come apart again. But they

959
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: do add cornerbacks Carlton Davis from Tampa Bay, Terry and

960
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: Arnold's first round pick out of Bama UH and former

961
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: Raider a Meek Robertson Nickel guy. So revamped cornerback corps.

962
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: We know the defensive line is Slad Hutchinson and company.

963
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: But you know, will this pass defense continue to be

964
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: a liability with this new cornerback grou because remember they

965
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,959
Speaker 1: kind of revamped their cornerback group last year as well,

966
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: and you know, nothing came of it.

967
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 2: So how how are you.

968
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: Kind of grading these these additions at corner for Detroit?

969
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 4: It'll it'll still be a liability. I love the Tarry

970
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 4: Arnold pick in the first round. Hopefully he can step

971
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 4: up and win the starting role. But this is the Lions.

972
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 4: Games are just gonna be high scoring games, right that

973
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 4: this defense will still be a liability.

974
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 3: The offense is obviously elite.

975
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 4: I think in terms of betting, one of the funnest

976
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 4: bets you can make is Alex Angeloni over his tackle

977
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: prop whatever it is that week and watch him flying

978
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 4: around tackling all these people, because yeah, the secondary allows

979
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 4: catches things like that, So I'll be looking to do

980
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 4: that again a lot this year. But no, I think

981
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 4: that this defense has a lot of improvement. But as

982
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 4: a team they should be fine this This offense is

983
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 4: perfect cable of outscoring anybody they play, but they will

984
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 4: be a serious, you know, super Bowl contender if they

985
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 4: do get this defense to play you know, above the

986
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 4: average levels. But like I said, I like the Arnold

987
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 4: selection in the first round. He's the guy I'll probably

988
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 4: be watching in camp just to see if he can

989
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 4: win the starting job. And I think he's you know,

990
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 4: more than cable of you know, starting year one out

991
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 4: of the gate, as you know, first round talent.

992
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I actually I think there's some upside to

993
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: this defense. If Arnold hits in year one and that

994
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, first round you know, highly drafted corners don't

995
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: necessarily always hit in year one.

996
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: But you know, you got Hutchinson, you got Davenport.

997
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: There who you know, you know, he's played well at times,

998
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: very well at times in his career. Maybe he bounces back.

999
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: You know, I think McNeil is a great interior guy.

1000
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: And you added Dj Reader former Bengal, another high quality

1001
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. You got Angelonio you just mentioned at linebacker

1002
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 1: along with Jack Campbell. So if you know, Colin Davis

1003
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: has been a number one corner in the past, you know,

1004
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: one of the top corner in this league. He has

1005
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: it played as well the last couple of years, so

1006
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you know, maybe that's it for him,

1007
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: but you know he's at least capable. And then you

1008
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: have a first round pick in Arnold, and then you

1009
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: know when Mik robertson, uh, you know, he's he's a pretty.

1010
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 2: Solid he can do a few things.

1011
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: He can he can kind of blitz from the from

1012
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: that nickel spot and do a few things for you.

1013
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: So just the fact that you have an all new

1014
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: cornerback corps combined with a pretty solid front seven and

1015
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: branch at safety who I really like. I do think

1016
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: there's some upside here if the cornerback group pans out.

1017
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: So that is something to watch because now if you're

1018
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: if that, if that works, now the Lions are just

1019
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: on another level. I mean now they're now they're I mean,

1020
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: I know they were a game away from the Super

1021
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: Bowl last year, but they're right back there if because

1022
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: like their offense, like you mentioned, is is elite and

1023
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: uh if the defense is above average as well. And

1024
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: I guess they finished they like I think thirteenth in DVA,

1025
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: so they weren't terrible. But really it was a tail

1026
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: of two kind of two seasons because the second after

1027
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: the bye, like I said, the past defense really came

1028
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: apart and allowing a lot of big yardage games. But yeah,

1029
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching closely because I do think there's

1030
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: some upside here.

1031
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, was a.

1032
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 4: Good cult like he'll shore up the run defense, and

1033
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 4: I think, like you mentioned, I think that's a good point.

1034
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 4: Like Gavin Port, if he stays healthy, if he returns

1035
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 4: the form of like his twenty to twenty one season,

1036
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 4: that'll like really unlock Aiden Hutchinson's potential because he was

1037
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 4: double teamed a lot last year, which you know hurt

1038
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 4: his you.

1039
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: Know, stat line.

1040
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 4: But if they can get another competent at drusher like

1041
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,959
Speaker 4: Davenport that'll really unlock Hutchinson, then yeah, this defense could

1042
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 4: be really good.

1043
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean at he's trying right, like you know,

1044
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 2: they're trying exactly.

1045
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: The cornerback group is the is the key here and

1046
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: and they they retooled that and they added a bit

1047
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 1: of help for Hutchinson. So yeah, I'm I think there's

1048
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: just a very nice upside there. But let's close it

1049
00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:03,280
Speaker 1: out with the Chicago Bears, you know, a very buzzy team,

1050
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, with Caleb Williams drafted number one overall and

1051
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: then going Romadonzay, so just really stacking that offense and

1052
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: of course Keenan Allen in free you know from the Chargers,

1053
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: so really stacking up that offense. What are you looking

1054
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: at when it comes to the Bears headed into the preseason.

1055
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 4: Just will Caleb Williams be the quarterback the Bears have

1056
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 4: been waiting for, you know, they they really had everything

1057
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 4: come together in the past couple of years to set

1058
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 4: up this season specifically, you know, they traded away the

1059
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 4: number one overall pick last year.

1060
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 3: They got DJ Moore.

1061
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: And some picks which turned out to be the number

1062
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 4: one overall pick this year.

1063
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 3: So they were able to land.

1064
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 4: You know, one of the top quarterback prospects in several

1065
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 4: years and Caleb Williams while also getting a potentially elite

1066
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 4: wide receiver in Roma Donsay at ninth overall. And they

1067
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 4: brought in her boy Kean Allen, who's just a dream

1068
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 4: wide receiver to have for quarterback. You know, he's always open,

1069
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 4: He's an excellent security blanket, just the perfect type of

1070
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 4: veteran receiver you can have, you know, paired up with

1071
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 4: a rookie receiver. Oh and they still you know, they

1072
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 4: have DJ Moore. They got him with the trade last year.

1073
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 4: So he's just entering an ideal situation for rookie.

1074
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: But that just kind of adds some pressure.

1075
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 4: You know, it's such a good situation, he really has

1076
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 4: to perform as soon as this year. So that's just

1077
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 4: the thing I'll be looking for, is just this perfect

1078
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: situation for you know, a really high end quarterback prospect.

1079
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 4: He kind of has no excuses and he kind of

1080
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 4: has to be good right off the bat, just given

1081
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 4: the situation. So I'll be looking, you know, is Kayla

1082
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 4: Williams going to be you know successful as soon as

1083
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 4: his rookie season?

1084
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's it's really just about as

1085
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: well as he's not bad, like, you know, because if

1086
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: he's just average, he'll the offense will be good. Because

1087
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: about guys like like, we know he has talent, like

1088
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: obviously number one overall pick, but you think about guys

1089
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 1: like who did it succeed right away? You had Trevor Lawrence,

1090
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned you know, Urban Meyer. Uh, you had Tua.

1091
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: Didn't get tyreek Hill until his was his second or

1092
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: third year. Uh, you had Joe Burrow. Didn't even get

1093
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase till his second year and he had an

1094
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: injury in year one. So but but once those guys

1095
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: got kind of their elite receiver Josh Allen with the

1096
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: you know it's Stefon Diggs or was it John Brown

1097
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: before that? You know, like once these guys get you know,

1098
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: upgraded supporting cast, it was when the those you know,

1099
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: highly drafted quarterbacks start to start to take off, you

1100
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 1: know by virtue of you know them being a highly

1101
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: drafted quarterback. Their team didn't necessarily have the resources to

1102
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,959
Speaker 1: build a stack offense like that for them in year one,

1103
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: whereas because the Bears were able to fleece the Panthers

1104
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: and and then you know, trade fields as well. Uh,

1105
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: they had so many assets that they were able to

1106
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: build this, uh, this offense where I mean, guys are

1107
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: going to be running open all over the field. Guys

1108
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to create after the catch, Guys

1109
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to uh, you know, win contested catch.

1110
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: I mean they have it all. You know, tight end

1111
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: commit broke out last year. You added ever it was

1112
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: a good pass catcher. The line is is pretty solid.

1113
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: Uh so as long as Williams is not flat out

1114
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 1: just a disaster, like if he's just an average like

1115
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: if he's just Trevor Lawrence ish uh, you know, or

1116
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: even a little worse.

1117
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: But with this one, Trevor Lawrence or I mean here one.

1118
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence would probably be like an average quarterback with

1119
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 1: the supporting cast, you know. So I mean Trevor Lawrence,

1120
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: what was he throwing to, Like, I don't know it

1121
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: was Marvin Jones in your one or so I don't

1122
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: even remember who it was games that art, Yeah, exactly, yeah,

1123
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: night and day. So I have no concerns about Williams.

1124
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: I still think value wise, the better bet for like

1125
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year and things like that, and you

1126
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: know Fantasy best ball you know is Daniels just because

1127
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: that rushing upside is very tantalizing.

1128
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 2: But Kyle Williams almost he's too big to fail.

1129
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: Like it's it's as long as he is a functional

1130
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,959
Speaker 1: as long as his arm is functional and the ball

1131
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: comes out of his hands and goes in the air

1132
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: and travels toward people on the Chicago Bears who are

1133
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: designated who are you know in routes, that offense will

1134
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: be fine.

1135
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, Bears Bears players, not the other team. If

1136
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 4: he's sawing a killer team, that's bad. But I take

1137
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 4: your point.

1138
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that.

1139
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless he's just has a penchant for picks, that

1140
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the only really.

1141
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 4: Thing, the real thing that he he likes to fit

1142
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 4: in there. He likes to take gambles, so he could

1143
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 4: maybe he's a sneaky most interceptions bet you know, yause

1144
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 4: he is pretty aggressive when he when he's throwing it downfield.

1145
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean that's I mean, hey, if he

1146
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: if he wants to check it down or if he

1147
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: wants to look underneath, he's still got keenan now and

1148
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: command and swift, and you know when he goes downfield,

1149
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 1: they'll have more and a doomsday. So like it's it's

1150
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's tough to see this going too poorly.

1151
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: I know the history of Bear's quarterbacks isn't good, but

1152
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll buck the trend all right, that this

1153
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: is a good one. That wraps it up all sixteen
