DJ, Bucky, 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Rhett Buck. We made it to uh, we made it 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: to the full slate of games here. 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 2: You're ready to roll. I mean, I'm ready to go 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: another more exciting than the first weekend of the NFL 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: season because everybody believes they still have a chance and 8 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: they do so far. 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel I mean, in terms of 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: confident love, I think I'm gonna win the rookie draft. 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: I feel confident. Wow, we're gonna We're gonna get to 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: these slate of games here. So we're gonna jump into 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: some of our favorite games and that's gonna get me 14 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: to this. It's time for Hot or Not, brought to 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: you by Wabi Hot Cloud Storage, and my favorite game 16 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: of the entire weekend. I'm gonna go Ravens Bills Boys. 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's that's where it ended uh 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: last year for the Baltimore Ravens, and that's where I 19 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: want to start this year. I think everybody seems to 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: be on the Ravens train. Buck, did you did you 21 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: jump on that train? This is the year the Ravens 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: get over the hump. 23 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: No, I haven't fully jumped on board, like I have 24 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: a ticket. Okay, I have a ticket, but I don't 25 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: I'm not getting on on the initial thing right out 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: the station. I may pick them up midway. I may 27 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: jump on when they kind of take a little pit 28 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: stop and may jump on. Then I just need to 29 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: see this team display what I call the emotional maturity 30 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: to be a champion, meaning that they keep everything in 31 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: check or whatever. And the problem is we won't really 32 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: get a chance to see that during the regular season. 33 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: They've been terrific in the regular season the past few years, 34 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: but in the postseason there's a different version of the 35 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: Ravens that shows up. Can they learn from all of 36 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: those hard lessons, those heartbreaking losses to be a team 37 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: that exhibits what I call that championship mindset all the 38 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: way through and then they carry that on into the postseason. 39 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: So I have a ticket, but I'm not on the 40 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 2: train yet. 41 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: Man, you got the two front runners for the MVP 42 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: last year that ended up going to Josh Allen certainly 43 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: could have made made an argument for Lamar Jackson. But 44 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: these two teams will be in play at the very 45 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: end of this season. So I think it's fitting that 46 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: they opened the year this way is to kind of, 47 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: you know, give us an early barometer of what this 48 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: thing really looks like. 49 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: I think we're going to see. 50 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: I guess I'm curious to see the maturation of a 51 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 3: couple of targets for Josh Allen and whether that can ultimately, 52 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: you know, elevate their offense even more. You know, does 53 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: Keyon Coleman become a more reliable piece for Josh Allen? 54 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: You know, this year obviously they love which Khalil Shaker 55 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: brains that paid him in the offseason. He's kind of been, 56 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: you know, that reliable wide receiver target. Let's not forget 57 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 3: about Josh Palmer coming over. I know they were excited 58 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: about that, but can Kayden Knox you know, kind of 59 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: operate as as heavy targets in that offense as well? 60 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: I mean, and then James Cook, uh, you know, got 61 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: got paid, you know also, and so seeing the evolution 62 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 3: of the run game there, I think we were all 63 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: kind of curious. One Stefan Diggs left town, you know 64 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: what Josh Allen was really going to look like. And 65 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: it just felt like this offense found a better form, 66 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: you know, without force feeding, you know, stuff on the ball. 67 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: But I think it. 68 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: Could use another outlet, and I think Kean Coleman can 69 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: become that. Seeing that in training camp and in the 70 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 3: preseason in person, I mean, he was the walking embodiment. 71 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: Still of fifty to fifty. Like he made three of 72 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 4: the best plays. 73 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: Of the day from what I watched on one of 74 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 3: those days, and then made two of the you know, 75 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: two of the ones you'd most like to have back 76 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: with obvious drops for what would have been big games. 77 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 3: So can you eliminate that, find more consistency and I 78 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: think you see an elevated version of his bills offense 79 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: that will put them ahead of the Ravens in this game. 80 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: All Right, I need coincaid to start coming through for me. Yeah, man, 81 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: I just I put such a big grade on him 82 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: and had such high expectations and there's been some injuries 83 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: in there and some inconsistency. He just hasn't been what 84 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: I thought he would be. So I'm hopeful maybe this 85 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: is the this is the year that you kind of 86 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: see him take off on the On the Raven side 87 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: of things, they have put an emphasis in their building 88 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: on explosive plays, and when with the run game they have, 89 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: they should be able to hit a bunch of home 90 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: runs and play over the top and big, big plays. 91 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see, you know, with what Jay 92 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Flowers continue to grow and develop and develop. We know 93 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: the skill set he has. He's a pristine route runner, 94 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: especially when he's working back to the quarterback with Bateman. 95 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: Bring over Nu Hopkins in there, throw him in the mix. 96 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: But I need to see those first two guys. I 97 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: need to see some explosive plays. I need to see 98 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: them get over the top. You're gonna have so many 99 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: good looks with their run game with Derrick Henry to 100 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: get over the top. 101 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, ye have plenty of opportunities to push about the 102 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: things down the field because ultimately you run to win, 103 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: but you got to throw the score, and they need 104 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 2: those explosives to be able to put points on the board. 105 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: So unless they want to depend on Tyler lup be coming, 106 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: the guy that is the main points score, they're gonna 107 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: have to be able to generate some of those explosives 108 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: in the passing game. 109 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: So I'll just finish this up real quick, and then 110 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 3: I want to get us to another game that I'm watching, 111 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 3: if we're good with that, I want to see Isaiah 112 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: likely and I know that you know, he's still coming 113 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: back off the footage or he didn't practice on Monday 114 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 3: Monday early in the week, and so you know how 115 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: that ends up progressing there, I think will be a 116 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 3: big key as this offense, you know, kind of develops 117 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: within the season as it moves forward. How much did 118 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 3: they get out of jay r Alexander on the defensive side, 119 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: You know that was kind of ballyhooed. Is quite a get, 120 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 3: but you know, as a reason why he's no longer 121 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: with the Packers, could stay on the field and he's 122 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: been battling a the issue there. So trying to figure 123 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 3: out what's going on on that front, because you'd be 124 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: a real nice boost for that defense in the cornerback 125 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: depth there in Baltimore. All Right, we want to get 126 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: you to another game. Obviously, one that I think is 127 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: is just on the marquee for Week one. It's part 128 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: of the late Windows slate on Sunday, and it's in 129 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: SOFI Stadium, Rams and Texans, and I think for a 130 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 3: number of reasons, but I think we all want to 131 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: see what Matthew Stafford looks like, you know, if he's 132 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: got to take the first couple of hits that we 133 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: haven't seen. 134 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 4: Right, He's been back. 135 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 3: At practice all week, as Sean McVay said, as you know, 136 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: every confidence said he's going to be there to play 137 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: on Sunday. But what happens when Daniel Hunter and Will 138 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 3: Anderson get loose, because you know, he's still kind of 139 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: trying to work Aleric Jackson back at left tackle for 140 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: the Rams dealing with that blood clot issue, which is 141 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: kind of you know, goes back and forth, and obviously 142 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: you hope that that that doesn't become an issue at all, 143 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 3: and same for Stafford. But I think that's one of 144 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 3: the big you know, intrigues here as you get ready 145 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: for this game is now how that team holds up 146 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: physically on the offensive side with two of their you know, 147 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: big time players that they're going to be counting on, 148 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 3: obviously Stafford and Jackson. And then I mostly like, I 149 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: just I want Stafford to be there so I could 150 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: see what DeVante, Adams and Pooka really look like in 151 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: a game situation together, because we haven't seen that other 152 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: than you know, and even when we saw it against 153 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 3: the Cowboys and that joint practice, it was Jimmy back 154 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: there not not Stafford. So I think that's curiosity number 155 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 3: one for me in that Texans Rams matchup. 156 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: Look, I think the Rams are a team that many 157 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: of us have talked about being a viable contender, and 158 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: one of the reasons are there's so balanced on both 159 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: sides of the ball. Like offensively, DeVante Adams coming over 160 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: to really give them. I'll say this in surprising the 161 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: upgrade over Cooper Cup given what Davante Adams brings as 162 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: a route runner and playmas and Phokinakua should be terrific. 163 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: But at the running game, being able to sign Karen 164 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: Williams keep him in the fold. At some point Blay 165 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: Corner is gonna get into the mix, but being able 166 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: to control it running it and then defensively, man, they 167 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: just have a bunch of like energizer bunnies that can 168 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: get after it, and their ability upfront to win creates 169 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: opportunities for takeaways in the back end. This Ram team 170 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: is as thorough as you can find from top to 171 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: bottom in terms of a roster that isn't celebrated, but man, 172 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: they can get it done at a high level. 173 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 4: It's two of the best fronts defensively in the league, right, I. 174 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: Mean the rugged two rugged fronts. I mean there's no 175 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: secret of what they're doing. I mean they play with 176 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: an edge, and they are fast and they are physical. 177 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: And that's why to me Ursery, the rookie left tackle 178 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: for Houston's gonna be under the spotlight to see how 179 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: he does against Probably, I would say probably. I think 180 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: you could make a case that the the best pure 181 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: power rusher right now in football is number eight for 182 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. So Jared versus coming, you better 183 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: buckle it up, man in your first start, because you're 184 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: getting ready to see some serious speed to power that 185 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: he brings to the table. So I like that choice, right, 186 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you lump that one in, by the way, 187 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: with our hot segment here, because that's gonna That was 188 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to you by 189 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: a Sabi hot cloud storage.

There's a lot of other games to choose 192 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: from here. I've picked one, Reetz picked one. Is there 193 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: is there one you're cooking on here? Is there one 194 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: you're looking at and saying, all right, this is this 195 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: is one. I'm uh, I'm gonna be perked up a 196 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: little bit to see what happens in this particular contest. 197 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: How about Detroy green Bay. I mean, you talk about 198 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: the big blockbuster trade, Michael Parson's coming over. They put 199 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: him in number one, which I can't remember a packer 200 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: weighing number one. So he has everything. So they not 201 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: only pay him, but they put the target on his 202 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: back with the number one thing. I want to see 203 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: how he fits into this defense. So much of the 204 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: conversation when it comes to the pack beas is now 205 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: they're title contender. But Jeff Afflee has a tough job 206 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: in terms of trying to figure out how do I 207 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: maximize his talents without disrupting the rest of the defense. 208 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: And I'm having to do it on the fly. I 209 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: don't have a full off season or training camp to 210 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: kind of pick and choose what Micah does well so 211 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: we can fit it around the rest of the thing. 212 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: How does this defense look in transition? And then offensively, 213 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: We've talked about Matthew Golden coming over and how they look. 214 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: They broke the code, They don't take receivers in the 215 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: first round, so he's an exception to the rule. What 216 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: does he look like the number one receiver from the 217 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: gate or does he look like the rest of the 218 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: guys on the committee? And then for Detroit is man 219 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: new coordinators on both sides of the ball, Like it's 220 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: been a magical it's the last two to three years 221 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 2: with the renaissance of Detroit. But now you've got different 222 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: voices in the front of the room. Does that change 223 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 2: what we've seen from the Detroit Lions and can they 224 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: retain their mystique as the biggest and baddest bullies on 225 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: the block in the NFC North. 226 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: I feel like they're almost kind of I almost say disrespected, 227 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: but kind of almost forgotten a little bit with the attention. Yeah, 228 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, I thought the Packers are 229 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: maybe kind of that team, and then obviously Parsons comes 230 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: in and they're right smacking the spotlight. We've talked so 231 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: much about Chicago throughout the entire offseason, Minnesota breaking in 232 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, and it's like we're almost kind of like 233 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: the poor little Lions, you know, like that they don't 234 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: have their coaches anymore. You know, how are they going 235 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: to be. It's still a really really gifted group. And 236 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: I could see them coming out and saying, look, we 237 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: got all these flashy toys. We're gonna come out with 238 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: our backs. Then we're gonna try and run the ball 239 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: down your throat. 240 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be a lot of that. Now, 241 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of run. It's a lot 242 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 2: of old school stuff. Jamiir Gibbs should be the focal 243 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 2: point in the run game. And I know David Montgomery's 244 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: a solid player, but the explosiveess did he brings. I 245 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: want to make sure he gets more touches. 246 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna we're gonna take a break, We're 247 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: gonna come back, gonna go rapid fire through some of 248 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: these other games, and I'm gonna go just the one thing. 249 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Let's say one question you'd like to get answered with 250 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: the remainder of these games, so we'll run through these 251 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: right after this. All right, guys, I'm gonna go. I'm 252 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: gonna go rapid fire. I'm gonna pick one of you. You 253 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: don't even know who's you don't even know who I'm picking, 254 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: So I'm putting you on edge. Here, Rhett, I'm gonna 255 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: start off with you Bucks Falcons. What is one thing 256 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: you hope to learn from Bucks Falcons? 257 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: Have the Falcons close the gap on the Bucks at 258 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: the top of the division? Like, is this is this 259 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: the year that somebody knocks the Bucks from the pedestal 260 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: at the top of the NFC South And can Michael 261 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 3: Pennix in year one as QB one. 262 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 4: Really get that done? I am no longer asking the 263 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 4: question can he get the most out of Kyle Kitts. 264 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 4: I'm just going to let that one live. I'm just 265 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: gonna let that one unfold, you know, just let that 266 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 4: one be and we'll see what happens with that one. 267 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: But with Jean Robinson back there, I think Michael Pennix 268 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: is set up for success and a home. 269 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 4: Game against the Bucks. 270 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 5: They played well against them, you know, a year ago, right, 271 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 5: So can they get this thing started off on the 272 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 5: right foot and find a way to you know, knock 273 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 5: it from their perch atop. 274 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: The NSC side. 275 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll piggyback that and just say, on the Buck side, 276 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: Liam Cohen's gone, So what does that look like? Offensively 277 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: curious to see from the Buck side of things, all right, Buck, 278 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: you are up next Bengals and Brown's what are you 279 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: looking to get answered? In that ball game? Being with defense? 280 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: Was it look like Al Goden coming over from Notre Dame. 281 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: They got a bunch of young, unharrowed no. 282 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: Names on the defense. Can't he fix it? Can this 283 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: defense just get to where they're playing what we rank 284 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: the middle of the pack, where they just don't give 285 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: up points on every drive. They can get a handful 286 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: of stops that might be good enough because this offense 287 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: looks like an arena ball offense in terms of their 288 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: potential to be prolific. With all the points scores that 289 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: they had, Jamar Chase t Higgins, Joe Burrow is the 290 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 2: consummate point guard. They can throw it all over the 291 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: yard defensively, can they get enough stops? And look, it 292 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 2: should work in their favorite against the Browns. This is 293 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: a nice opponent for them to start at. But I 294 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: need to see that defense play better. 295 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll flip it over to the Brown side 296 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: of things, like who's going to be a part of 297 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: their next good team? I don't think this is going 298 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: to be a good team. But to me, this is 299 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: a discovery year discovering who can be kind of on 300 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: this bus as we go. We're already like we already 301 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: having already having those discussions. 302 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: We're looking towards next year who are. 303 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: Going to build around God bless them, But that's I 304 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: don't see it. 305 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 2: Man. 306 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: Maybe that maybe they can just pull a rabbit out 307 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: of the hat. 308 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: Bringing it back right the twenty three Joe Flacco just 309 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: throwing it all over the place. 310 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: Let's just let's see, let's see what works out. 311 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: All right, ratt Dolphins cults give me a question. 312 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 4: My fantasy team to victory. There you go this week. 313 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: But no, my question here is is not even its 314 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 3: cults related? And does Daniel Jones showcase in game opportunities 315 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: to consistency that she's check sheenstike and talked about that 316 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: allowed him to win that job over Anthony Richardson? And 317 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: can he remain consistent enough to keep Richardson on the 318 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: sidelines and pilot this colts offense for the duration, so 319 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: minimizing the turnovers and finding his playmakers there consistently is 320 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: the question here. 321 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: I'll flip it over and go, does Mike McDaniel have 322 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: anything up a sleeve? Remember when he brought in literally 323 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: a new motion that we really hadn't seen a couple 324 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: of years ago, and he was the innovator in the league, 325 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: was copying what he was doing. They couldn't get weight 326 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: to get that Dolphins tape. I don't want to say stale, 327 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: but it just hasn't been as exciting and fun. So 328 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: maybe he's got something cooked up. So I'm looking forward 329 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: to seeing what wrinkles he's going to have in the 330 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: first week of the season. Buck, you are up, and 331 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: it's an easy one for you. It's a layup. It's 332 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: Panthers Jags. 333 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: Liam Cohen Trevor Lawrence. Do we finally get to see 334 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: the best of Trevor Lawrence on a new play? Caller? 335 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: Liam Coleen did a great job of helping Baker Mayfield 336 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: take his game up to another level. Now he has 337 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: a chance to work with a former number one overall 338 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: pick in Trevor Lawrence. How does he get Trevor up 339 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: and going, How does he blend Travis Hunter and Brian 340 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: Thomas Junior some of the weapons into it? And can 341 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: he finally get this Jaguars offense to maximize their potential. 342 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 2: My eyes are on that offense because if they can 343 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: get the offense going to have a chance to be 344 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: much better than many anticipate. 345 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, give me Bryce Young and this young offense, all 346 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: these young receivers they're throwing out there. We saw Bryce 347 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: take the steps last year. So to me, you've got 348 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: two number one overall pick quarterbacks in this game. What 349 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: does the future look like for those two guys? Those 350 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: are the excellent points and questions we hope to have answered. 351 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: Rhett Raiders Patriots. 352 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: Man, there's so many different things to assess us here, 353 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: but I think the biggest one for me is, you know, 354 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: do the Raiders show does the Raiders offense show that 355 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: they have more consistent competency? 356 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: I guess. 357 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: I mean, you've got better playmakers at running back, you 358 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: know obviously with Gent you've got a better quarterback, a 359 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 3: stable quarterback situation, And what what do Pete Carroll's fingerprints 360 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 3: on this team? And like they're kind of collective cultural competitiveness, 361 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: Like how does that kind of manifest itself against the 362 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: team and the Patriots that want to be as hard 363 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 3: nosed as any in the league with Rabel leading the way. 364 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: So to me, it's really about, you know, like, does 365 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 3: this Raiders offense put up more points, find a way 366 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: to generate, you know, more more scoring opportunities, and then 367 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: you know, does Brock Bauers catch twenty passes. 368 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: In twenty targets? I bet I'm going to Patriots side 369 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: of things. It's the rookies. Man, they are starting playing 370 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: a ton of them, Will Campbell and Jerry Wilson. On 371 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line, You're going to see Travon Henderson. You'll 372 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: see Kyle Williams offensively. Craig Woodson one of my favorites 373 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: from Cal. He's going to be in the starting lineup. 374 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: So a draft class that I said was the best 375 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: in this last year in terms of the value and 376 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: just the overall number of solid professional football players they 377 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: added in one draft class. I'm excited to see all 378 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: those guys out there on the field. Buck, you are 379 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: up next, Cardinals Saints. Now, I'm anxious to hear what 380 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 1: you have to sell on this one. 381 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm selling the quarterback. I mean, Spencer Rather won 382 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 2: the quarterback competition, So let's see what just looks like 383 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: regardless who's the quarterback. Kellen Moore was given the head 384 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: job because of his offensive prowess, So what can he 385 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: do in taking the parts that he has to assemble 386 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: an offense that's credible, that's a threat in the NFC South. 387 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 2: So what does it look like? It's Spencer Rather is 388 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: the point guard? How did he get the ball out 389 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: of his hands? How does he protect him? How can 390 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 2: he elevate him with his play? Call it? That's why 391 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: I want to see. We've seen what he's done with 392 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: other quarterbacks. What does Kellen Moore do to have Spencer 393 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: Rather look like a great quarterback. 394 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep it moving because I know RHTT 395 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: wants to jump in on the Saints and we'll just 396 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: get bogged down and we just can't. We don't have 397 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: time for that. Rhett Steelers Jets. 398 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 3: I mean, how do you move past the quarterbacks in 399 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 3: this one? 400 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 4: Both? 401 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: By the way, Week one is a theme by the 402 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: way there It is the most important position in sports, 403 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: and that's where the eyes go for the majority of 404 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: these games. Is what do you look like? 405 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 5: Well? 406 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: And there's just so much new about it, right, and 407 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: they're both these these two guys obviously flipped, you know, 408 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 3: flip places. I think the Steelers offense with Aaron Rodgers 409 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: is going to be competent. I am curious if that 410 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: is the case for the Jets because it's not what 411 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 3: we saw this preseason. Now, I imagine we're going to 412 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 3: turn around and try to hand it off, you know, 413 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: with Derek Harmon out for the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know 414 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: they try to hand it off to Breece Hall and 415 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 3: Brayln Allen. But really my biggest curiosity is, like, does 416 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 3: Justin Fields find ways to connect with Garrett Wilson that 417 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 3: we have like because we haven't seen it really in 418 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: this preseason in trading camp, So I want to know 419 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: if he can maximize that connection there with Garrett Wilson, 420 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: and then do they have like just Mason Taylor kind 421 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: of quickly become the second option in the past game. 422 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 4: That's kind of what it feels like. 423 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm going Darnell Washington with Pittsburgh. How much do they 424 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: use him and how much does he play basically functioning 425 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: as a third tackle who's a human billboard he. 426 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: Ch man they throwing passes to Hi. 427 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: I know that's why he's one of the more fascinating 428 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: players in the NFL. I can't wait to see how 429 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: they use him in that ball game. Buck Giants Commanders. 430 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: Giants new Look offense Russell Wilson, Kim Russell direct this 431 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: offense better. Do we have a Cam sketiboo siding? Do 432 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: we get a chance to see him kind of get in. 433 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 2: He only played for a handful of snaps in the 434 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: preseason because the running game is going to be critical. 435 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: We know they have weapons on the outside of elite 436 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: neighbors and others, but can they run the football effectively? 437 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: Brian dave Ball found a way to win eleven games 438 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 2: his first season by playing a ball control offense with 439 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. He did a really good job of protecting 440 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: him and setting Daniel Jones up for success. What is 441 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: the game playning in the blueprint to winning with Russell Wilson? 442 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 2: Understand it? Because they don't start winning, then we start 443 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: calling for Jackson Dart and they don't necessarily want that 444 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 2: to happen, even though I mean selfistly want. 445 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: To say yeah, I think I think most people actually 446 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: do want that to happen. Look, I'm gonna go on 447 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: the Washington side selfishly because I took this dude so 448 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: ridiculously early in my fantasy draft. H Jacorey Krosskey merrit 449 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: Aka Bill. I pulled the trigger on him early I 450 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: think he's ended up being their lead back sooner than 451 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: later for Washington. So I'm anxious to watch the rookie 452 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: out of Arizona Rhett Titans Broncos. 453 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 4: Titans Broncos. 454 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: Can cam Ward be this year's Bonicks or last year's 455 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 3: Bonnicks or this year's last year get it? 456 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: Yeah? They're playing each other in this game. So I 457 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: see what you did there? 458 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think, look, the Broncos, you know, kind 459 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 3: of exceeded expectation a year ago and finding theirself in 460 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 3: finding themselves in the playoffs with a rookie quarterback leading 461 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: the way. I don't think that is the expectation for 462 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 3: the Titans at this point, with the way that their 463 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: roster is constructed. 464 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: But you know, with a you know. 465 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: A really good, you know, offensive mind calling the plays 466 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 3: and head coach Brian Callahan and a player at cam 467 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: Ward who has been QB one since the moment they 468 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 3: filled out his draft card. 469 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 4: Like, do they find a way? 470 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 2: Right? 471 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 3: Do they find a way with Calvin Ridley in company 472 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 3: with the young receivers Jim Ridique and Lago Manor do 473 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 3: they find a way to be competitive enough in December 474 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 3: where they are fighting for playoff spot. I think that's 475 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: my biggest curiosity with this team. 476 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and to me, you look on the other side, 477 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: who's the joker. We've talked so much all off season 478 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: with Denver of who that joker is going to be? 479 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: Is at Evan Ingram, is at RJ. Harvey, Like who's 480 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: going to be that middle of the field mismatch player 481 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: that Sean Payton's been searching for so looking forward to 482 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: see what we figure out that answer buck Niners, Seahawks. 483 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: Look, this is about Sam Donald. They invested heavily in 484 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: Sam Donald, believing that he could continue and pick up 485 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 2: where he left off with the Minnesota Vikings. Does he 486 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: do that? How does Klint Kubiak set him up for success? 487 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: Can they run the football? What does this new wide 488 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: receiver corps look like? DoD jsm become the number one 489 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 2: of this Cooper cups Alid into that role. All of 490 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: those things are major questions. And I gotta say this 491 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: the running game, because the running game is anything. Can 492 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: they finally get Kenneth Walker off, which is sharper Nay 493 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 2: takeover and give them some of that run in that 494 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,239 Speaker 2: they need. So so many questions by the offense. That's 495 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: where my eyes are. 496 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm it's kind of a sneaky good matchup. There 497 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of questions, a lot of 498 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: unknown about those two squads. All right, rtt Lions Packers, 499 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: We've already talked about that, Texans Rams, We've already talked 500 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: about that, Ravens Bills, We've already talked about that, Vikings Bears. 501 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: Have we hit Vikings Bears yet? The last one? 502 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 2: Yeah? 503 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: I mean it's really it comes down to, you know, 504 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 3: the part of the QB class from two years ago, 505 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 3: right J J. McCarthy stepping into the role and Caleb 506 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: Williams trying to, you know, maybe step into a little 507 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 3: bit of a different role for Ben Johnson, right to 508 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 3: try to find that next level in his game, at 509 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: the level we kind of thought that he would be 510 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: at as the number one overall pay but I think, 511 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 3: you know, it's been such a roller coaster ride, at 512 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: least from like public perception with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams, Like, 513 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: can they find some steady right? Can they Can they 514 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 3: find a way just to I don't want to say 515 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 3: the middle of the road, but just to eliminate the 516 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: huge swings here because obviously you love when the arrow 517 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 3: goes up, but like it seems like every time it 518 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 3: does that we're talking about something going back down. So 519 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 3: to me, in Caleb Williams, this game is can he 520 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 3: find more of a steady heartbeat? And then for JJ McCarthy, 521 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: you know it's without Jordan Addison, justin Jefferson. You know 522 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 3: we didn't see him all preseason, but what does that 523 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: chemistry kind of look like with him not having that 524 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: time on task with those guys. 525 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm ready, man. That was just a quick stroll through 526 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: a bunch of games and they're going to be here 527 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: before you know it. As much fun as it is 528 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: to the preview these games, it's more fun.
