1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: The volume. This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What 2 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: is up? Straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire 3 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: for Friday, August fourth. We had our first football game 4 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: last night. Whoa Football's Back? Baby? But it was Zack 5 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: Wilson starting, so nobody is taking anything at all away 6 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: from the game. I'll just say this. We're gonna talk 7 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks from Zack Wilson's clash shortly. And it's 8 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: staggering how already in year three it feels like put 9 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: up or shut up time for all of them, Yes, 10 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: including you, Trevor Lawrence, who seems to be anointed by everyone. 11 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: We'll get to them shortly. I do want to announce 12 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: I will be out of town next week. No podcast, 13 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: final trip slash vacation. I don't know. I saw well. 14 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: I've seen various definitions of the word trip versus vacation. 15 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: This will be a vacation. I will not be bringing 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: my computer. I will not be on Twitter. I'll probably 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: be on the Gram because I love the Gram. I'm 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: not on TikTok, so it's gonna be almost exclusively screen free. 19 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: I love those vacations. Do it before football. I'll do 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: some more reading on football. I'll come back. I think 21 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: I have a target date for my quick parachute into 22 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: Vegas to place my season long bets. Oh, by the way, 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: if you missed yesterday's podcast with Adam Turnoff, it was spectacular. 24 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: I not only recorded it with him, but then listen 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: to it again driving into work on Thursday. Turn Off 26 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: is good man. I had to start digging into some 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: of the stuff he was saying. It's just awesome. He's 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: really good, and I think you got to go back 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: and listen to it if you like NFL and gambling 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: for sure, and there's some fantasy tidbits in there if 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: you listen closely enough. Also, later in the pod, we'll 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: be breaking down, Yes, the AFC East finally got to 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: that division. The NFC was the last month and now 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: we're starting with the AFC East. Also programming, note your 35 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: boy is excited for Taylor Swift this weekend. I haven't 36 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: been to a concert a minute. We talked about this yesterday, 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: but I am very fired up. My wife and daughter 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: are trying to get me to wear some sort of 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: sequin shirt and I don't think that's gonna happen. But 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm a game time decision on that, So we'll leave 41 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: it at that. All right, Let's start with what I 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: think was an interesting under the radar story this week. 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: So we all know that Mac Jones had a rocky 44 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: second year. First year has been ballyhooed as this guy 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: was a great franchise quarterback. Mac Jones got to the 46 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: playoffs as a rookie. Trevor Lawrence did not, Trey Lance 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: did not, Zack Wilson did not. Mac Jones he's the 48 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: best quarterback from this rookie class. Everybody gave him the 49 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: rubber stamp after that first year. Then you start to 50 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: drill down and you're like, wait a minute, how many 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: backup and rookie young bad quarterbacks did they be? And 52 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: how many game winning drives fourth quartercombacks that Mac Jones have? 53 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: Huh okay, all right, got it? And you start thinking like, 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: maybe mac Jones is not all that, And again it's like, oh, 55 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: he made the playoffs. They're good. Second year comes around, 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels is now gone and the offense is anemic 57 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: and unwatchable, and Mac Jones gets benched, yes, benched for 58 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: the immortal Bailey Zappie. I'm almost certain This was during 59 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: the Bears game in prime time. I don't have it 60 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: in front of me, but I think it was Bears 61 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: game because I I mean, listen, I was all over 62 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots of my Survivor league in that game. Survivor 63 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: it was like week eight ten something like that, and 64 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I was like, come on, Patriots at home against a 65 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Belichick's got this. It's a layup. And of 66 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: course the Bears smoked them, and I got bounced from 67 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: my Survivor league, big money on the line. Disappointing. Mac 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: Jones eventually gets back to the starting job, but him 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: and Belichick have friction. So this offseason, the big talk 70 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: was where they got to get Mac Jones some weapons. Now, 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: they got him an offensive coordinator, Bill O'Brien, and look 72 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, Juju Smith Schuster, somebody Belichick loved 73 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: like five years ago. And you're like DeVante Parker, and 74 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: they'll look at the running back situation. You're like, huh, 75 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: they don't have much here. And then and then you 76 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: get to the really interesting point. The New England Patriots 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: to play one of the four toughest schedules in the 78 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: NFL this season. Mac Jones, You're in trouble, buddy. According 79 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: to the men in the desert who set lines and 80 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: rake in boatloads of cash, the New England Patriots are 81 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: favored in a whopping three games this season. That's it. 82 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is in some trouble. People don't want to 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: you know, people don't want to give me credit for this. 84 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: I was early. I did not love Mac Jones. Now 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: you know who did love Mac Jones's Kyle Shanahan and 86 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: the Niners. Remember that for about three minutes from now. 87 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: So interestingly this week, that's all precedent for what went 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: down this week. First of all, Mac Jones was asked 89 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: how his relationship with Bill Belichick is, and mac Jones said, 90 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: I think we're good. And I remember this because I 91 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: went on air and said this with Cowherd and he 92 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: was stunned that I was parsing the word think, and 93 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: I think I talked about this on the pod. But 94 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: I'm like, if somebody asked me, hey, Jason, you work 95 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: with Colin, how are things, I would never in a 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: million years say I think we're good. I'd be like, oh, yeah, 97 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: it's great, man, he's awesome. We text, we talk, we 98 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: hang out. Like, it's awesome. Now. I know, I don't 99 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: expect to coach in the quarterback to hang out, but 100 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: think about this, when was the last time you thought 101 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: about I don't know, someone at your work and someone 102 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: was like, how's it like working there? And he said, 103 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: I think we're good. It's instantly like, oh, this seed 104 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: of doubt has been planted. And so Belichick was asked 105 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: this week by the media, Bill, you know, is Mac 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Jones the starter? Blah blah blah, something along those lines, 107 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick said, everybody's out here competing. He refused 108 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: to commit to mac Jones as the starter, and you know, 109 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: all this undercurrent rumblings in the media about Mac Jones 110 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: versus Bill Belichick. Mac Jones, I don't want to say titled, 111 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: but he is a little arrogant. He's nickname is Macenroe 112 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Jones because he's known to yell and throw a fit, right, 113 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: little hissy fits. And you just gotta wonder, like Mac 114 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: Jones is going into a proven year. Bill Belichick is 115 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: not a spring chicken. He's not sticking around for another decade. 116 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: Belichick needs to win now. He has zero playoff win 117 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: since Tom Brady left oh in one ah. I'm sure 118 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: you guys saw the win total seven and a half, 119 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: and you look at this mac Jones situation, and then 120 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: you look at the Patriots and you look at the schedule, 121 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: and I would say the odds are better that mac 122 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: Jones gets benched at some point this season than mac 123 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: Jones leads the Patriots to the playoffs. This is a 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: turbulent situation in New England. And I don't know that 125 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: Belichick is willing to commit to mac Jones long term. Now, yes, 126 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: he liked Cam Newton and hyped him, and now we 127 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: are in year three with mac Jones and he's not 128 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: hyping mac Jones. It's like, what's going on here? And 129 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: then you start thinking about that twenty twenty one draft class. 130 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: It was a year after COVID Trevor Lawrence was anointed. 131 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: He was the guy I'll never forget my Jets, just 132 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: bricking on the tank job and they win a meaningless game. 133 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: I think it was the Rams. I think it was. 134 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent. I think it was the 135 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: Rams late in the season and they end up get 136 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: drafting second and they settle in Zach Wilson aka the 137 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 1: Mormon Mahomes one of the best nicknames that took flight, 138 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: except that the Jets never took flight with Zach Wilson. 139 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: And then after that, after Zack Wilson going second, the 140 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, here's the Kyle Shanahan part. The forty 141 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: nine ers trade up and everybody's like, oh, they're going 142 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: to get their guy. And the early reports were including 143 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: from Chris Simms, who is close with Kyle Shanahan. Chris 144 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: Sims of NBC, he was on the pod last year, 145 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: maybe we can get him again this year. Chris Sims 146 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: said he's going up to get Mac Jones, who fits 147 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: his system perfectly. Mac Jones is the ideal quarterback for 148 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: the Kyle Shanahan offense. And then there were the rumors 149 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: that waighed, wait a minute, they liked Trey Lance and 150 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: it was like, well, huh, if they traded up to 151 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: get mac Jones, why are they pivoting to Lance? And 152 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: apparently there was some dissension among the ranks. Forty nine 153 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: Ers fans don't want to hear any of this, but 154 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: it's very clear, and I think it was Michael Lombardi, 155 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: who's been on the pot a couple times. Michael Lombardi 156 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: was pushing no, no, no no. He wanted Kyle Shanahan, 157 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: wanted Mac Jones. So now you've got Trey Lance third overall, 158 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: giving up a lot of draft equity to get Lance. 159 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: And then he looks a little spotty coming in as 160 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: a rookie. He gets the start, the nod to start 161 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: second year, he looks bad in the monsoon in Chicago 162 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: and he ends up breaking his leg in pretty much 163 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: grows fashion. And in steps Brock Purdy, who goes undefeated 164 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: as a starter in games he started and finished, and 165 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: they go to the NFC Championship game, and then Perdy 166 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: gets injured there against the Eagles and he has the 167 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: offseason surgery. So coming into the preseason right now, by 168 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: many accounts, the forty nine Ers quarterback depth chart is 169 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Brock Purty, followed by Sam Darnold, followed by Trey Lance. 170 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: So we got Zack Wilson, who I don't even think 171 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: we really need to go into it right. Zack Wilson 172 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: has been by all accounts, just an absolute bust with 173 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: the Jets. I was wrong, I take it. I was 174 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: way wrong. Allow me to be excited about my team. 175 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: Like Zack Wilson comes in, he's making these flick throws. 176 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah guest here on the podcast. He's raving about 177 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: some flick impossible throws that Zack Wilson did it as 178 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: pro day, Zack Wilson's been terrible. You know, they go 179 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: out get Aaron Rodgers and Zach Wilson's like backup quarterback. 180 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: I would assume he's gonna be featured prominently in a 181 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: very positive light on hard Knocks as he tried to 182 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: up his trade value and ship him out of town 183 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: and get whatever they can and return. So you look 184 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: at that twenty twenty one draft, you have Zack Wilson, second, 185 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: Trey Lance third, Mac Jones fifteen and don't forget Justin Fields. 186 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: Justin Fields to the Bears, and Justin Fields is now 187 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: five and twenty as a starter. You know, I believe 188 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: the arrow's pointing up Chicago. They are on their second 189 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: offense and Fields has taken over as quarterback. I do 190 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be much better this year with the 191 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: addition of Dj Moore, a full season in Chase Claypool. 192 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: They've got weapons now around Fields. Second year in the offense, 193 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm a believer that Fields will end up the second 194 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: best quarterback in this class the first they're twenty twenty 195 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: one class. Use it, prove it or lose it. This 196 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: year's Trevor Lawrence. And again I love Lawrence. Everybody love Lawrence. 197 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer love Trevor Lawrence. What's not to love? So 198 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: bad as a rookie, Meyer gets fired before Christmas, Lawrence 199 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: and the Jags are hideous and they end up picking 200 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,359 Speaker 1: first overall again the year after Lawrence, which is almost unprecedented. 201 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: Teams don't really ever pick back to back first overall. 202 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: And then they start three and seven and it's like, oh, 203 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: maybe Trevor Lawrence ain't that good. Then they rally, it's fine, 204 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: I get it. Lawrence starting the light bulb went off 205 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: in the Peterson offense, and they got good. At the 206 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: end of the year, Lawrence probably will be the best 207 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in this class. I mean it should be a certainty. 208 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: They add Calvin Ridley, they got Ridley, they got Christian Kirk. 209 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: I think Evan Ingram still the tight end there. So 210 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: they got some talent around Lawrence. Travis y t and 211 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: I like in the backfield. But you've got to wonder, 212 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: what are we to believe that Trevor Lawrence the second 213 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: half of last season or the first half of the 214 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,119 Speaker 1: season when he was just not great. A lot of turnovers, fumbles, interceptions, 215 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: Lawrence not great. They needed some luck. Like, I think 216 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: it's okay to say I like Trevor Lawrence a lot. 217 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be the best quarterback 218 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: in this class. It's still TBD. When they were all 219 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: drafted Lawrence for sure. After the rookie year, everybody went 220 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: mac Jones. After last year, everybody's back on Lawrence. I'm 221 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: now on Fields. I'm off Lance. I was never really on, 222 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: but I'm off Lance. I'm way off Zach Wilson. And 223 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: if I had to ask you, like, which of these 224 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: five quarterbacks is definitely the starter in two years, Trevor 225 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: Lawrence is the only one you could say for sure, 226 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: because right now Zach Wilson's probably on his way out 227 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: to another team after this season. I think Trey Lance 228 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: is probably done in San fran would not be shocked 229 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: if they traded him in the preseason. Mac Jones is 230 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: interesting because he's in that proven or lose it year, 231 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: where again, I think he's got a better chance of 232 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: getting bench this year than he does make in the 233 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: playoffs and Belichick ain't gonna be long for Mac Jones. 234 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: Really good quarterback class coming up. We'll get college football 235 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: guys on here after I'm back from a little trip 236 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the quarterback class. It's massively deep. 237 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: And I know we say this every year, the quarterback 238 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: class is deep, and then you know, by what October, 239 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: a couple names of folding off, and then by Thanksgiving 240 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: you're down to like five guys and then bowl games coming, 241 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: you're like, well, there's really two or three guys in 242 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: the class. That's usually how it happens. We'll see what 243 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: happens this year. Quarterbacks are older. Remember, due to the 244 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: COVID year in college football, you got a lot of 245 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 1: more twenty three twenty four year olds. No more this 246 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: like Zach Wilson, young kids. You know, Mac Jones sat 247 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: forever started and was thrown to Devonte Smith and Jalen 248 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: Waddle like he's not gonna get those weapons with the Patriots. 249 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: So interesting year and justin fields, by the way, there's 250 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna be the year Like I mean, if they're five hundred, 251 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: are you picking up his extension? I guess you could say, hey, 252 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: we were awful. Last year we were three and fourteen 253 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, it was maybe three or four wins. Yeah, 254 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: we'll give you another year, but we're not picking up 255 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: the extension. Maybe like if they go to the playoffs, yes, 256 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: maybe Fields is your guy. But there's also a world 257 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: where they're like a six win team and then it's 258 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: like time to draft a quarterback again. So you really look, 259 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: and I think four of the five from the twenty 260 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: twenty one draft class are wide opened. Who the hell 261 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen. All right, So I've been previewing 262 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: divisions in the NFL, and I'm finally my favorite division, 263 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: the AFC East, And I know that the Jets are 264 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: gonna be better, but I'll I'll just be I'm gonna 265 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: keep it real. The Buffalo Bills will win the AFCs. Now, 266 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: obviously this is injuries penning. If one of the quarterbacks 267 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: goes down, who the hell knows what can happen. That 268 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: being said, I have some concerns about Buffalo. I've outlined 269 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: them with Audam Turnoff. I think with Kevin Clark, we've 270 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: outlined them on the pot. If you're not listening all 271 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: the time, sorry, I can't catch up the speed on everything. 272 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: But bottom line is I have some issues with Josh Allen, 273 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: and you guys can minimize all you want. The breakup 274 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: of the girlfriend of five years and moving on from 275 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: her to go to like some actress. That's not nothing, guys, 276 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: that's more than nothing. Okay, there's like, that's a life change. 277 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: That's significant. Okay. The situation with Alan last year in 278 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: the elbow, the situation with Digs, the questions about Dorsey 279 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: and the offense, the absolute meltdown in the playoff game 280 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: against the Bengals that churnoff referenced where essentially the Buffalo 281 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: offense had no second pitch, the Bengals knew what was coming, 282 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: and Buffalo could not pivot. The inability to pivot, Like, 283 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: is Dalvin Cook's little brother gonna be like a bell 284 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: cow now in the offense? Is that like that we're 285 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: gonna pivot from Alan running around, We're gonna give it 286 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: to James Cook. Like, I don't know a lot of 287 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: questions for the Bills. There's just ultimately there. The schedule 288 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: is difficult, and everybody in this division plays a tough schedule, 289 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: but the Bill's first play schedule and you know that 290 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: opener against my Jets is gonna be big, because I 291 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: want to remind people last year's season opener, Bill's Rams 292 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: Rams defending Super Bowl champs, and the Bills smashed them. 293 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: It was thirty one to ten. They sacked Stafford seven times, 294 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: hit him sixteen times. Guy was a pinata back there, 295 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: and that was the moment where you're like, oh gosh, 296 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: this Rams offensive line is terrible, and that set the 297 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: tone for the season and you gotta play Sam fran Twice. 298 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: They had to face Dallas Tampa some nasty defensive lines 299 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: and the Rams just got pushed around and Stafford is 300 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: cooked by like Halloween, and that Bill's front was nasty. 301 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: Then Von Miller goes down. It doesn't sound, by the way, 302 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: like von Miller's gonna start the season, which is huge 303 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: for the Jets. And I'm just a little worried obviously 304 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: listening to yesterday's podcast about the Jets offensive line holding 305 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: up against that Bill's rush. That's gonna tell a lot, 306 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: because you know what we two the Jets go to 307 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: Dallas and face Michael Parsons and you start thinking about 308 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: that and you're like, oof, that line better hold up. 309 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: That line, better hold up against the Bill, so we'll 310 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: know a lot about both those teams. And the Jets, 311 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: by the way, did cover both times last year against 312 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: the Bills, won out right once and I think Zach 313 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: Wilson started both games. So second in the AFC East, 314 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: I've got my New York Jets. Sorry, you can't talk 315 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: me off of it. I'll make an argument for the 316 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: Dolphins momentarily, but I have the Jets in the playoffs. Listen, 317 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: no team got better offensively in the NFL this offseason. 318 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: In the Jets, they added a Hall of Fame quarterback. 319 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: Period end the story like they got significantly better. And 320 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: if you're trying to tell me that Aaron Rodgers isn't 321 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: worth say three or four more wins than Zach Wilson 322 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: and Chris Streveler and Joe Flacco and Mike White, I don't. 323 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: I probably could not have a football conversation with you. 324 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: And yes, Rogers was terrible last year. Again, look at 325 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: all the other stuff happening in Green Bay, the issues 326 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: with the contract, the new young receivers DeVante Adams shipped 327 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: out of town, like a lot of weirdness in Green Bay. 328 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: And you know Rogers hadn't gone on his darkness retreat. Yet, 329 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: so I think when you add a guy like Aaron 330 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: Rodgers to an elite defense, and I get it, defenses 331 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: may not carry over year to year. Everything lined up 332 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: for the Jets last year. I think they beat three 333 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks. I get it. I don't think they need 334 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: to be a top five unit now that they have 335 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers because they can actually score. They didn't score 336 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown in their final three games of the season. 337 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: I'd be willing to bet you significant money that that's 338 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: never happened in Aaron Rodgers' career when he's been healthy 339 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: and played football, that his offenses have not scored one 340 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: touchdown in three straight games. Remember, the Jets should have 341 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: beat the Patriots both times. Zack Wilson gave away one 342 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: game and then the other game. It was just an 343 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: abject disaster giving up a punt return for touchdown at 344 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: like the end of the game, and that was the game. 345 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: I believe Zack Wilson came out afterward and said all 346 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: this he was very defensive and then he ended up 347 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: getting benched and that was it. But as long as 348 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: the offensive line holds up, the Jets should win ten 349 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: eleven twelve games. Now, if the offensive line is getting 350 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: torched and Rogers is getting knocked around, Jets are in 351 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: trouble undeniably. But they have resources to put into the 352 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: offensive line. They're gonna need Dayne Brown to be thirty 353 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: seven and show up. They're gonna need mccai Beckton to 354 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: play his ass off in hopes that he gets a 355 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: new contract. But the defense, Aaron Rodgers, there's no reason 356 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: the Jets shouldn't be first or second in the division 357 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: I have and second. Now, the Dolphins are the toughest one. 358 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: And we've talked about this a little bit. The Miami 359 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: Dolphins range of outcomes. Tua gets hurt, Jalen Ramsey's out 360 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: the first ten weeks, and they are, you know, six, seven, 361 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: eight win team. The opposite is to h is healthy, 362 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line finally plays to their potential, and they 363 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: win twelve thirteen games. That's how lethal this team team 364 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: can be. I saw the stat the Miami Dolphin in 365 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: games to Us started and finished for eight and three 366 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: with him healthy. Pretty damn good. Questions like the Jets 367 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: about the offensive line, I think maybe slightly fewer questions 368 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: than the Jets the defense with Fonngio will be very 369 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: different and he's well respected defensive coordinator. That Ramsey lost 370 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: his big it sounds like the young kid from South Carolina, 371 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: the rookie Cam Smith is probably going to start. That 372 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: can be difficult, and Howard a little bit of a 373 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: drop off last year, not as elite as before. But 374 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: the Miami offense with two a healthy should keep them 375 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: in games. So when I do go to Vegas, and 376 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: I've talked about a lot of bets, I'll probably outline 377 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: them on social. I believe that the Miami Dolphins will 378 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: be one of those alt win total overs on the 379 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: off chance two is healthy. I don't see why they 380 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't be like an eleven win team. Now, the drawback 381 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: for Miami is the schedule they opened with the Chargers, 382 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: and if you remember last year in a big time game, 383 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers in Staley really confounded Miami did a great 384 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: job and won the game. Miami has to play arguably 385 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: the three best teams in the league a total of 386 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: four times, the Bills twice, the Eagles and the Chiefs. Okay, 387 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: down the stretch, if Miami is like touch and go, 388 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, final four games, Let's say Miami is seven 389 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: and six and they're trying to get into the playoffs. 390 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: Here is their schedule. Miami faces the Jets, the Cowboys, 391 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens, and the Bills to try to get into 392 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Those, by many metrics, are four of the 393 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: top eleven teams in the league. I mean, we got 394 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: guys putting the Cowboys in the Super Bowl, Bills are 395 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender, Ravens that offense could be nasty, and 396 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: the Jets, you know, divisional rival, and we'll see if 397 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is still standing. So the schedule is the 398 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: only reason to not love the Dolphins. Pulling up the 399 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: rear the New England Patriots and Mac Jones, the aforementioned 400 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. This is unbelievable. This stat is kind of unbelievable. 401 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: But they are favored in a grand total. The New 402 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: England Patriots are favored in a grand total of three games. 403 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: So the market is telling you this ain't great. And 404 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: I had to look this up because it's unbelievable. Mac 405 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: Jones has been a starter basically for two full seasons. 406 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: Mac Jones has one fourth quarter game winning drive in 407 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: his career, one fourth quarter comeback win. That's it. This 408 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: is a team that if you hit him in the 409 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: mouth and you take a lead, they cannot come back 410 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: on you. They're just not built to rally from big deficits. 411 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: Their offense is not dynamic, it's not explosive. They can't 412 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: come from behind. Now what they can do is get 413 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: the lead and ride that defense, which is good and 414 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: maybe a little underrated, but there's just not a lot 415 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: to like about this New England Patriots offense. And it's 416 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: really really tough. It's becoming increasingly difficult to win with 417 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: your defense in the NFL. In twenty twenty three, case 418 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: in point, the Eagles had top three, top four, maybe 419 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: the best defense in the league statistically last year, and 420 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: what did Patrick Mahomes do to them in the Super Bowl? 421 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: Just just eviscerated them. Now you could say, well, Jay, 422 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 1: what about the Niners. Well, they're facing like, you know, 423 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: a guy that was in street clothes at quarterback because 424 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: party went down. And then the week before that they 425 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: faced the Giants. Come on, the Giants are garbage. Eagles 426 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: own them. And then you know, during the regular season dynamic, 427 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: but then late Dak and the offense kind of exploded, 428 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: and then you look down a little bit and you're like, 429 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: oh wait, Gardner Minshew started you had a pick six. 430 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: There were some wonky stuff happened there. But just you 431 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: start to look at the Eagles defense and you're like, 432 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: how good are these guys? I mean, Mahomes I think 433 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: literally missed one pass in the second half of the 434 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and the Eagles couldn't do anything. Now, you 435 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: could argue that they're powerless. It's Patrick Mahomes who could 436 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: stop Mahomes. But I just I do have some questions 437 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: about trying to win with defense, and I don't think 438 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots are gonna be built to do 439 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: that this year. All right, folks, that's another division down. 440 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: We have three to go. Will continue to do them 441 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: on Fridays leading up to the season. No podcast next 442 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: week and go back and listen to the old episodes. 443 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: Any questions about the pod or gambling, I will try 444 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: my best to answer them while I'm sunning on a beach, 445 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: drinking a boat drink and then dipping my toes in 446 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: the water and try my best to not look on 447 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: social media. Talk to you then
