1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. We

3
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: are back here with Matt Williamson and it's time for

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: power rankings and as we always do, will take a

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: look at what Dan Kansas is doing on NFL dot Com.

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: Uh Man, the shake ups this week. Forget about it.

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Forget about it, especially the a f C. As we

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: mentioned the last segment. One thing I will say going

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: into this past week, and I know it's only one week,

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: but still I underestimated just how bad Houston and Detroit are.

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they were unbelievably non competible. I think I

12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: heard today that Houston has scored I think seven touchdowns

13
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: since Davis Mill took over in Week two. They had

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: six touchdowns in Week two with Tyrod Taylor quarterback. They

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: have seven in the five or six weeks since, and

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: it's almost all been in garbage time. I would say

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: that rams game. I mean, we know McVeigh doesn't play

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: his guys in preseason. He's the first guy to rest everybody.

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: He rested everybody in the fourth quarter and that's when

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: every point came. I mean, that was the least competitive

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: game of the weekend. It doesn't look like it in

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the box score. Well, there's their thirty seconds. There's no

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: fans or butts about that. I think Detroit competes, but

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: I would definitely have them thirty. Detroit's offense a lot

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: better than Detroit. However, is thirty first they've they've done

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: the spot. Those are by the Eagles. Those are the

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: two worst teams in the league. Yes, I think that's

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: very true. At thirty Jacksonville. Jacksonville was really disappointing to

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: because Lawrence was playing better. No Russell Wilson. I watched

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the fair amount of that Seahawks Jags game. God, why

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: would you have done that? You know? And not only

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: are they not talented, they blew a lot of coverages,

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: And I mean you gotta have that stuff buttoned up

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: to at least compete. I mean, you're not good enough

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: to give anything away. I mean bad, bad, bad at

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: holding steady the Miami Dolphins. Okay, so the Jets are

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: better than the Dolphins. I mean, I get it. They

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, and I had a good win this past week.

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm actually seeing a little bit of signs of life

40
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: with Miami though, Like I think they're a lot better

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: than those bottom three teams. Well, they were everybody. You know,

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: they were a team that was picked as at playoff team,

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: right right right. I didn't see it. You didn't see it. No, no,

44
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: but you know they won some games last year, and

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: so you know, everybody looked at them as well, they're

46
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna they're they're moving in the right direction. No, they're not.

47
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: They they're gonna win four games this year. They're win

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: four games. We'll talk about maybe someday in the off season,

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: but just look at their personnel moves since Flores and

50
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: really the new GM took over because they've had so

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: many good picks and money to spend and they have

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: squandered it. Yeah. Yeah, I still think they beat the

53
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: Jets in a series. Down the spot is Washington. They're

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: a pretty bad team, and that Denver Washington game, it

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: was another one's hard to watch. I mean, there's two

56
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: bad teams at up four spots. Are those Jets. I

57
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: mean I guess that there there two wins are more

58
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: impressive then maybe any other team other than like the Titans,

59
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: who they beat, right right right, that's pretty good. And Mike,

60
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: I think a couple of quarterbacks on Sunday, some backup

61
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks dressed up for Halloween as starting quarterbacks and they're

62
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: going to turn into pumpkins here soon. But White was very,

63
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 1: very good. I mean he was highly efficient. First read

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: wasn't their second one read was their boom, get it out.

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: You know a lot of after the catch. You know,

66
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: he had four runner in five passing yards and it

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: wasn't like three coverage bus and he got lucky. I mean,

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: it was moving the ball down the field, but it

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: passes to the backs and Crowder and yeah, short guy.

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: You absolutely they play the Colts this week, They'll mean

71
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Leonard will be all over picking up the Colts defense

72
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: to play against them, because you know, the Colts will

73
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: will take all that you That's the thing when you're

74
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: starting a backup and nobody knows anything about right right, right,

75
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Now the books out, I mean, you're right,

76
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: a discipline Colts defense, come out, tackle, smack that stuff

77
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: throws some things out of he hasn't seen, you know,

78
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: great game. It will probably the best game of his career.

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting about Mike White, and really

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: about this a more of a statement about the league.

81
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: He's now done enough to probably be in this league

82
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: for ten more years as he's not chased it, you

83
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he'll get a shot somewhere,

84
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: he'll make millions. He had one good game at holding Stead.

85
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles good. I'm glad nobody blew too much

86
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: smoked their direction. I mean they're not good, they're not good.

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: They at least ran the football in that game. In fact,

88
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: if you're a team that's located on the East coast,

89
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: like right along the East coast, who's the best team

90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: on the East coast? Miami, Carol I'm just going Atlanta

91
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: an East coast team. Okay, so you got Carolina, Miami, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Carolina, Philadelphia, Washington.

92
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: Does New England count that kind of inland? Aren't they

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo cow? No, they're definitely upstate. I guess maybe, I

94
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: guess you could say Baltimore is on the East coast,

95
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: so they would be easy there. The number one and

96
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 1: then the rest of his blicky my geography coming giants stink.

97
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: If you can get to the Atlantic Ocean within an hour,

98
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: then you cut your team. Blows bad unless you're Baltimore.

99
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: For something to the down a spot the New York

100
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: Football Giants. Yeah, that game was there for the taking

101
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: for them too. I texted you at one point before

102
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: the penalty, before the taunting penalty, right right right, the

103
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna win this football game. And then they

104
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: get the taunting penalty. It's like, are you what are

105
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: you doing? I forgot to tell you. I thought it

106
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: was kind of a cheesy taunting penalty, but I thought

107
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: it was bad. Yeah, I did too. I blew you off.

108
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: I didn't write you back because I had to pause

109
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: and go get my daughter and some Halloween party, so

110
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: I was not I was avoiding all texts and all

111
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: contact from the world when I got home and watched

112
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: it all and fast forward. But the game was there

113
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: for them to win. That was there from the whim.

114
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: And I'm curious where Kansas City fits in because they're

115
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: not They're not a good football Agreed with the stuff

116
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: you're texting me last night. I just couldn't write you back.

117
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: But at the time I got to it was late

118
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: down a spot twenty four. Those Chicago Bears. How in

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: the world are they three and five? Yeah, it's pretty

120
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: look at their stats and it's like the defense is okay.

121
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's not great now, clue Max not arou ound.

122
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's fine, but they're on the field a lot.

123
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: We talked about their passing numbers. Two touchdowns and scored twelve. Yeah, right,

124
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: like you. I mean again, I've been you've given up

125
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: almost twice as many touchdowns as you've scored. You should

126
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: not be three and five. Yeah, it's a little crazy.

127
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: And they beat the Bengals, they're not all. They didn't

128
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: beat Houston three times at four and four last year,

129
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: yeah right, not this year at twenty four or twenty

130
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: three down two spots despite a win the Denver Broncos.

131
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they're good, and they don't think they're good.

132
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: They trade von Miller. You know, right, this might be

133
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: where they're at. There's so much bad that that's where

134
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: they come in as twenty three, Like are they going

135
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: to go lower than that? Maybe? Who are they worse

136
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: than the Bears, the Giants, the Eagles. I think they

137
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: found their water mark. Because it's funny. I mentioned I'm

138
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: doing an a f C Power Ranks, and I started

139
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: from the bottom up, and I have all the teams

140
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: we mentioned, and then I went Denver and then I

141
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: drew a line and said, all the a f C

142
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: teams from here on up might be playoff teams, and

143
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to them, obviously, But Denver's a little better

144
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: than the garbage one other team I can't put in

145
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: that converse. No, okay, New England. There are four and

146
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: four or five and four, whatever their record is. Yeah,

147
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: they've beaten mostly the direct at the bottom there and

148
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: one good win does not getting They beat the Jets

149
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: twice in Houston one and they beat the Chargers. I

150
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: don't have them high on my They don't get to

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: play the Jets again, you think, I mean, we'll get

152
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: to again and they're Miami's win, right. That doesn't well,

153
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: So you think the Colts are better football team and

154
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots? If the Colts played the Patriots right now,

155
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: I picked the Colts, okay, I mean they were my

156
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: next two. I had the Colts than the Patriots, but

157
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: they're not my final ranks yet. I don't scribbled on

158
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: the napkin next to my on my bar. I mean

159
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: the Colts just have more I don't. Yeah, the way

160
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: Wentz played this past week, though, you know it's the

161
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: first time I'm getting that from him as a Colt

162
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: two down, two spots. The Falcons yeahs and no, no

163
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley moving forward that we haven't talked about that,

164
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: I know. I mean I feel bad for the young man.

165
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we're here to talk about football. I hope

166
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: he gets well. But what we saw is Carolina. I'm

167
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: not sure they're good either. Carolina Falcons kind of reminds

168
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: me of Washington Denver, Like I'm not sure I want

169
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: to pick any of these set Like there, I wanted

170
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: to pick against all of them. But for example, you know,

171
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: now the Ridley's not there, Carolina took Stephon Gilmore. You're

172
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: playing man coverage on Pitts all day long. You know,

173
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: like that's a lot to ask from a rookie tight end.

174
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: You know, a one up, four spots. Those Carolina Panthers.

175
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: Do you have faith that they could get better? McCaffrey

176
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: comes Backffrey comes back. That makes things a little bit easier.

177
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: The defense is still pretty good. I think they have

178
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: a defense, and they've traded for these two corners. You know,

179
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: I mentioned Gilmore, but Donald's been bad for a month.

180
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he needs to play. He's been bad since

181
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: they lost McCaffrey, right, and the old line gets exposed,

182
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: and and you know he tries to do he looks

183
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: like the Jets, I mean, being able to throw a

184
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: ball to the flat and that guy gets you know,

185
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: twenty yards and everyone has to honor it. Yeah, you

186
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: have to honor it. It goes you know, tell me

187
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: that running backs don't matter, right, right, It's another perfect example, right,

188
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: that guy makes that whole team better. Booker played fine

189
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: last night, but they win that game with a kuan Yeah,

190
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Another example. You know, um

191
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: at twenty down four spots the Indianapolis Colts, Okay, I

192
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: mean we just talked about him. Yeah, at nineteen down

193
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: four spots the Minnesota Vikings. I don't want the Colts

194
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and Titans are any different, but you have to have

195
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: a Titans at anyway. I'm sorry, who's Viking? They missed

196
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity? Oh they blew it? Yeah the Clockwell at home,

197
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: you lose that game when you look back and say, boy,

198
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: we were the eight seed instead of sevens, that's the

199
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: one you're gonna kick it. And you lost Daniel Hunter too. Yeah,

200
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: that's that's a big blow. I think they're the most

201
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: average team in the league. At eighteen up four spots

202
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. I can't put the Seahawks ahead of

203
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I can't either. They just beat I means

204
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: right now, the Vikings beat Seattle. Right maybe you get

205
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson back in a couple of weeks. The season

206
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: is not shot. Yeah, they they're still in it. I

207
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: mean I think Wilson's closer the Pins out or whatever,

208
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: and I mean I guess he's closer and that win

209
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: will help them. But they're not good right now. Yeah,

210
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: they come back from their buying week ten. You know,

211
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: maybe he's back. Then we'll see if they played the

212
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Colts ten times, they lose seven of them. Yeah, the

213
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Cults are are better team. It's seventeen up two spots

214
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Things are slowly getting better for him. I

215
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: can't put the fourteen and there's ahead of the Colts.

216
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: So because they just beat him last week in the

217
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Colts just beat San Francisco in San Francisco two weeks ago.

218
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: That's where the recency biass has to come in a

219
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: little bit. You should at least pay attention to that.

220
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we always talk about this team maybe team

221
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: B so teams. He's better than me. But we just this,

222
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: this is this isn't the beginning of the season stuff.

223
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: This was two weeks ago. No, and this isn't like, oh,

224
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the Jets should be ahead of Tennessee because they beat

225
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: him one teams three and four one teams three and five. Yeah,

226
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: the team is three and five. Beat the team. You

227
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: know you've got them three spots behind. I'm sorry, No, No,

228
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: I do think things are trending up for them a

229
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: little getting a little healthier. Kittles on the horizon is

230
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: actually on the field. Jimmy g at quarterback? Right, what

231
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: do you think him? You think he's pretty good. Thing

232
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: is he played well enough this past week that I

233
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: don't think we'll see Lance for a while now. Like that,

234
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: this postponed it. It's sixteen down three spots. The Cleveland Browns.

235
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: This was a team that was top five. There was

236
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: like five going into the season. They're not so good.

237
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: They're in a bad place. Yeah. I don't, by no,

238
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: means that my minimizing the Steelers win. That's a big win.

239
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: They're passing games bad. Yeah, and here's what here's what

240
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: it says. The Browns badly need a playmaker to step

241
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: up and win a huge game against the Steelers. Baker

242
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, Landry couldn't do it. Hooper couldn't do it. Odell,

243
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Come on, now we know we knew Odell wouldn't do it.

244
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: The Browns have too often looked apart of an ordinary

245
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: offense this season. They're especially vulnerable when Nick Chubb gets neutralized,

246
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: like he was against Pittsburgh Stout Front seven on Sunday.

247
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Mayfield's left shoulder injury might be playing a role in

248
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: the passing games general ineffectiveness, but Brown's fans weren't looking

249
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: for excuses this year. They were expecting the team to

250
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: become a conference superpower. It hasn't happened. I mentioned to you,

251
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: I looked at football outsiders h powers around their their

252
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: the d go A and remember when the season started,

253
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Before the season started, they were down on the Browns.

254
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: They were like they had the Browns like sixteen. They

255
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: had some great logic of people getting a home himself

256
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: of this team. You know, right their d v o

257
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: A right now is still six in the league. Their

258
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: offensive DVL as like fifth yea is this not factor? Uh?

259
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Their red zone offense at all into the equation ten

260
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: passing game without a doubt. Yeah, the Steelers had the

261
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: better passing game on Sunday. I think they're a better

262
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: passing game right now. You know, they better weapons. I mean,

263
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are comparable at worst, you know. Yeah, it's

264
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: a problem. They're very one dimensional right now. Yeah, if

265
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: you can stop the run game, they've got nothing else. Yeah,

266
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I keep referencing these a FC power ranks

267
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: because it's all I can think about, and like, boy

268
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: know how I'm gonna do them. I think the Colts, Patriots,

269
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Browns or a tier below these other ones we get to.

270
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: I know, we haven't brought up the Patriots speaking in

271
00:14:51,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: which they're fifteen um at fourteen up three spots the Steelers, Okay,

272
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't have to line a delineation there after. I

273
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: think the Steelers are noticeably better than the three you

274
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: just mentioned. I don't know. I mean, again, this is

275
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: why if the Steelers have a kicker on Sunday, they

276
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: win that game by at least two scores. They probably

277
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: it's probably twenty three to ten or something. Learn that now.

278
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: I thought they were the better team, you know, even

279
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: more than the scoreboards showed. I mean, this is in

280
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Steeler related. The Steelers better than the Chargers Bengals. I'm

281
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: not super impressed with Kansas City or in Vegas. Vegas good,

282
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like the a f C

283
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: is weird. Yeah, it's it's it's very difficult. Uh. At

284
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: thirteen is the Kansas City Chiefs there four and four.

285
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: They moved up a spot based on that, not based

286
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: on anything they did yesterday, but based on these other

287
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: teams dropping down right, They're They're not a good football team.

288
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: We've been talking about him a lot off the air.

289
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: They're not a good football team. The defense is among

290
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: the worst in the league, and it's probably a little

291
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: better than the worst in the league when it all

292
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: settles in. Um, like, if I had to pick, I

293
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: know the games in Kansas City when they play the

294
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: Steelers Christmas, Say it was this week. Yeah, if it's

295
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: this week in Kansas City, I might pick the Steelers

296
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: just because I think that they're gonna play run on them.

297
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: The Steelers are run on them. The Steelers have a

298
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: front four capable of pressuring mahomes by themselves. They can

299
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: drop everybody into coverage, which is what everybody's doing against them.

300
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: If you watched the two high safeties are like on

301
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: the goal line. Yeah they're they're they're thirty yards down

302
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: the field and Mahomes just refuses to check down and

303
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: just take what's there. They actually ran the ball a

304
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: little bit volumeless. They took what they gave them. But

305
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: their backs aren't good. But they still when you when

306
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: you get into the red zone, like even last night

307
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: you saw let's let's throw behind the back pass and

308
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: do this and that. If that doesn't work, they've got nothing.

309
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: Like here's a couple of things on the in the chiefs.

310
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: I think stand out is we know the offensive line

311
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: or we know the defense is bad and they're not

312
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: a running team, even though they should be. More and

313
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: back would help them. And I don't think Edwards will

314
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: make a difference, even I'm a little worried that Kelsey

315
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: might be showing age for the first time. Thirty two

316
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: takes a beating, you know, it's a ton of action

317
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: every year. Tyreek looked the healthiest he has in a

318
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks yesterday and looked like a dynamic, scary guy.

319
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: But everyone targets. Everyone d nineteen targets and had nine

320
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: ninety receiving yards, and there was a couple of times

321
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: he was open for the bomb. Let's put it this way,

322
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: when nausea Harris got nineteen targets a few weeks ago,

323
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: he had more than the hundred yards. Yeah, like passing

324
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: game right now. Yeah, and some of those were little

325
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 1: shovels to Tyreke that don't count. But some of them

326
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: were sixty yards too. But everyone's gonna be job number

327
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: one is taking him away. Now used to be which one,

328
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: which one do you do? It's all gonna be Tyreek.

329
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: But even if they could just get the league average

330
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: and turning the football over, they would move up seven

331
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: spots on this I mean horrendous. It's turnovers and penalties. Yeah,

332
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: like stupid penalties too. They're just I mean it's tip balls,

333
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: it's bad decisions, it's not putting the ball away as

334
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: a runner. I mean that the turnovers make me crazy. Yeah.

335
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: At twelve down, three spots the Chargers. Yeah, I mean

336
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: like I brushed the bald One High team, I brushed

337
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: the Baltimore game away. Bad matchup can't stop the run.

338
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: Then they have a bye. Patriots, bad matchup can't stop

339
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: the run, confusing the young quarterback. Well, I mean, where

340
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: are you really? I think other teams are gonna do that. Yeah.

341
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: What's interesting too, is I noticed did some more homework

342
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: on that game. Belichick's big goal on that one was

343
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: take away Mike Williams. You know people are afraid of Williams. Now, Okay,

344
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen will get his but he's not gonna kill you. Yeah.

345
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: Their run defenses don't even try at eleven down four spots.

346
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: The Bengals they reached their high high watermark when they

347
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: were seven last week. Yeah, I think that's a high.

348
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll be the top ten again.

349
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: One thing I've noticed, and it was apparent in this game,

350
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: They're O line isn't fixed and the Jets really dominated

351
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: them up front. Jets also took Chase out of the game.

352
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: They did, and Quentin Williams and those guys. They have

353
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good front. But Burrow is playing above his years,

354
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: protected that line all year more than people think. You know,

355
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean that line is still a liability. I'm not

356
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: saying he should have taken sol Well not Chase, but

357
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's not fixed yet. They also give a

358
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: four D passing Yarns them like white. Yeah, and a

359
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: lot of it was short stuff, you know, I mean,

360
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: and and but he gave it up. Yeah. Uh, they

361
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: gave a twenty one points the fourth quarter. Wilson did

362
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: not have a good game. No, he did not um

363
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: attend the Raiders, I guess. I mean we didn't mention that.

364
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs News you talk about, I'm not making fun

365
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: of anything this year. I wouldn't go to jail. Yeah,

366
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: he could be in jail, and if he's not, he

367
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: doesn't play for me, right right, you know, I mean

368
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: distractions that team has had, some positive, some negative, but

369
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: I mean even just the Gruden stuff, of course, I

370
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: mean things like, um, you know, two players are publicly

371
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: overcoming alcoholism, and you know, the first um gay player

372
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: comes out and said, you know, it's just a lot

373
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: of stuff going on there this year. And they have

374
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: a hard schedule and they're sitting on a buy and

375
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: they've overcome all that. And I don't know if getting

376
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: the big bad Wolf Gruden out the building is a

377
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: good thing or a bad thing. But teams that have

378
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: those kind of distractions or a lot of this stuff

379
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: going on rarely have good years, you know. And this

380
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: is a real bad one. It just happened today at

381
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: nine up a spot? Are the Titans up a spot?

382
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean they're foundational players, not gonna play again this year.

383
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: If they don't lose Derrick Henry, they're probably up three

384
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: or four spots. Then I think there the second best

385
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: team in the a f C. Yeah, you know, just

386
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: because of recent development, they still are. According to the

387
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: well in the Baltimore is ahead of them. So yeah, eight,

388
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: which everyone's gonna get exposed with Henry not Yeah, it

389
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: ate up four spots or the Saints. I don't know

390
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: if I could put them there. Star quarterback they're trying to.

391
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: You know, Philip Rivers was called today by Sam Farmer

392
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: the l A Times and asked if he would be

393
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: willing to come back. Well, they haven't called me, but

394
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: I would talk. I would think about it. Yeah, that's

395
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: where they're at right now. They've already asked you breeze,

396
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: you're coming, you know the media has Yeah, I don't know.

397
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: They better than the Bengals and Raiders, though their defense

398
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: is great. It's seven up a spot the Ravens by

399
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: totally default. I mean, if they would have had a

400
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: bad game this week, they'd be down. They'll probably be

401
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: my number two team in the in the a f C. Though,

402
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: who's yours? I mean, who do you pick? I don't know, Yeah,

403
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know, I know it's I know

404
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: it's not them. I know it's not them either, But

405
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who's I know it's not anyone else.

406
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: I know it's not the Titans. I know it's like

407
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: it's it's the Bills that nobody else, like, you know,

408
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of teams, and we'll get to the Bills.

409
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: But you mentioned it earlier off the air. Their schedules ridiculous.

410
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: They played the thirty second rank schedule prior to the

411
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: prior to this week. They've got the twenty nine easiest

412
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: schedule moving forward like they're not gonna be tested the

413
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Playoffs will figure out. They're good. Yea, yeah,

414
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: it's six. I might put all five of the NFC

415
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: teams ahead of the Bills even. Yeah, I know they're good.

416
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: It's six down a spot are the Rams? With the

417
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: Rams down a spot? After that, I think they'd be

418
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: one for me. Yeah, by the way, you said von Miller,

419
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't get moving them down at five down three

420
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: spots and I get moving them down Tampa. Ram just

421
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: wipe the floor with the text, and how do you

422
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: have the Rams at seven and one below the bucking

423
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: or who they who beat there? One of the Yeah,

424
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: they should have no worse than no worse than five

425
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: at four down a spot Buffalo, Yeah, we just talked

426
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: about him. They'd be the easy number one in the

427
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: FC though it's three down two spots. The Cardinals get lost,

428
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean those five and probably would have bumped them down.

429
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: I think they lose a series to the buff I

430
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: think they lose a series to the Bills, Bucks and Rams,

431
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: but they did beat the Rams earlier this year. They

432
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: uh at two up two spots the Cowboys, Yeah, I

433
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: mean I don't have a problem with that. They gotta

434
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: win that. What were they gonna look? But it might

435
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: be their ear And I assume you look at that

436
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: with Doc as a quarterback, because that's not a long

437
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: term thing. Number one up five spots the Green Bay Packers.

438
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I have no problem in week one out

439
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: of the equation because it was so miserable and weak

440
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: ones are weird, and if you do that, they'd probably

441
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: clearly be one. They just wouldn't get my vote. They

442
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: they don't blow me away. I don't think that's a championship.

443
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: But they did go into into Arizona last week without

444
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: Davonte Adams, without you know, with missing a bunch of pieces,

445
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: and they beat the Cardinals more than any team in

446
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: the league. They just take care of business business trip

447
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati boom, you know. And even the Steeler games

448
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: that way, they weren't really in, you know, in trouble

449
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: at any point, just playing, dictating the flow of the game.

450
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: They're they're a card player sitting there knowing they've got

451
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: an ace up their sleep and their faces blankets could

452
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: be and you can't read it, and that a says

453
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers face on it, like maybe even with the

454
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,159

455
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: still an ace. Yeah. I mean, I would not pick

456
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: them to go to the super Bowl though, I mean,

457
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: if they're the one seed, I don't think they're gonna

458
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: they're better than they box and you know, right, but

459
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: their resume is really strong. Their number one right now

460
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: and they might stay there for a while. Now. They

461
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: have some good wins, so intervision is not even and

Speaker 1: you're right. But they're gonna win their division by five games. Yeah. Absolutely,
