Yeah, it 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.920 toss being It's like, well, surprise me Reek wooland chasing 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.680 down a ball carrier of this past week hit twenty 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:55.360 two and I know that's supposed to impress me, and 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.320 it does. Beautiful athlete that Greek Wolan go from tuerk 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.520 two Reek, it's offseason. I missed that and then everybody 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.880 started doing it. And now this was my first maiden 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:05.679 voyage of Riquel. 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.240 Why does it annoy me? It's it's his choice. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.240 But it's like how many players are going to change 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.600 their names, Like when I start to understand who they are, 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.880 then they go in another direction, down a different scenam. 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.319 Nineteen ninety two. I was twelve years old and I 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.640 had gone by Danny Hansis to that point wow, and 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.279 I went to made the shift. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.800 I went to my mom, I said, Mom, I think 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.119 I want to go by Dan and she rubber stamped 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.880 it and I'll always love her for that. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:32.679 So you were twelve? 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.960 But was it hard at school? Did they not catch 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.759 on for a while. I don't remember the branding being difficult. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.920 I feel like it happened. It's a campaign, you know. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.319 I got to get the teachers involved. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.039 My dad still hasn't really gotten well. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.960 My family any any My family didn't transition, but they 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.440 don't have to do that. But my point is, twenty 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.920 two miles per hour is great. I want to see 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.600 somebody with the ball in their hands at twenty two 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.040 because it's different. I think you're right well out sprint 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.520 chasing down You're right is impressive. I like, do you 0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.360 keep it back to me? 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.280 You keep issuing new demands, like we understand that when 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.560 that happens, you'll need twenty three. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.480 When Jon Robinson and maybe has to be on a 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.200 different team hits the open field on a breakaway and 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.200 he's going twenty two. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.440 Are you impressed they? Are you impressed that Greg runs 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.600 twelve miles an hour? Yes, for a man of his. 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:18.320 Age, that's great. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.000 I mean he saw me on the softball field. That 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:22.440 was very quivers pretty fast. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.799 I think one of the reasons why the Shield was 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.799 so successful is we had many types of players which 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.600 every roster, no matter the sport. And Greg was that scrappy, 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.160 pesky slap it through the whole take the extra base. 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:36.800 Yeah, it was the jack of all trades. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.160 Defensively, you were You were a value add for us 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:40.920 and I thank. 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:41.080 You for that. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.760 It's a great one year signing, right, I believe it 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:44.840 was a one year deal. 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.000 All right, This is like I said, the Draft edition 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.000 of Around the NFL Week five already and let's get 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.560 to it. The first overall pick is presented by Draft Kings. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.720 I'm gonna surprise you guys because it's not It's not 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.480 a ker of a week in terms of matchups. There's 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.840 no Bills Miami here. Good job by Gregy with the 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.799 way things fell for him, he was able to take 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.520 a no doubter or So I'm looking up and down 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.240 this list and I'm saying, what's the game that I 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.760 most want to watch? And this is gonna be a 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.799 surprise because one of the teams barely squeaked out their 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.040 first win last week. But the first overall pick will 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.519 be Chiefs at Vikings. And I'm gonna tell you, Okay, 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:26.440 I'm gonna tell you why. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.920 First of all, I always have a soft spot for 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.079 the Vikings and Kirk Cousins. I just enjoy watching them. 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.840 They may not be good, but they're never boring. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.720 And you have a Chiefs team coming off a battle 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.040 here against the Jets on Sunday night where and you 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.960 saw the on social media it was floating around there. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.440 That was the first game ever where Patrick Mahomes was 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.440 outplayed and they had different metrics for what that means 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.680 to be outplayed, and with Zach Wilson, so you know Mahomes, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.760 it doesn't sit well that that was the stage he 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.480 was on and that's how he performed. Even though they 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.600 won that game with some hope from the officials. My 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.480 analogy here the Vikings and by the way, this is 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.480 a Chiefs laying four and a half and a fifty 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.360 three over under. And that's part of my point here. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:21.000 The Vikings are like a big dumb golden retriever. They're 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.679 cute and they they're fun to play with, and they're 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.440 and in general you like to hang out with them. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.200 But they also do stuff like relieve themselves in the house, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.240 or chew up things when they're bored, and and and 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.800 make bad decisions. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:37.080 Run away a lot. 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.760 And it's just like, oh my god, this thing is 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.599 so dumb. But it's it's it's cute and it's fun 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.200 to have around. And the Chiefs are like this professionally 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:50.719 trained German shepherd and it's it's been through battles, that's 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.360 been tested. It knows when to attack and knows when 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.640 to behave it's it's beautifully trained. I like the idea 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.640 of the Chiefs going into Minnesota, into this environment where 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.200 you have this big dumb retriever running around all over 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.640 the place and drawing out some a little bit more 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.760 excitement out of the trained German shepherd and let let's 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.720 have some fun and let's throw the ball around the 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.479 yard and let's have a nice shootout in Minneapolis between 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:16.480 the Chiefs and Vikings. 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.680 And you got Tony Romo on the call. That adds 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:20.280 a little I. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.680 Like that too, Nanson Romo with Tracy Wolfson, and it's 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.680 not a surprise to me. Romo on Patrick Mahomes. That's 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:27.600 a new concept. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.880 But the thing about the Chiefs is they're quite different 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:32.520 though this year. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.839 So I find that compelling. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.240 I know you like, for instance, Mark the Rams are 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:39.840 like they have a different feel to the Rams and 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.599 they've had the best packers. I know the Chiefs aren't 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.320 quite there because it's Mahomes and it's Andy Reid, but 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.960 they are rather different. I mean, the receiver issue is 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.279 an issue. Travis Kelce has had a relatively slow start 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.560 to the season. I think their most dynamic wide receiver 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.560 is a gentleman named Rashie Rice, who on a team 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.320 like mine Soda would be the number four receiver. So 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.320 it's like they're really not that talented in terms of 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.400 their wide receivers. But their team, their fans really think 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.320 this is the best defense we've ever had. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:11.719 Are they though? 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.720 I mean they weren't great last week, Like this is 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.800 a good test for them against a good Minnesota offense 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.400 and more importantly, I think long term for the Chiefs, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.880 I really love the way they ran the ball against 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.040 the Jets, the way they've run the ball the last 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.240 couple of weeks. We know the offensive line is good, 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.240 and seeing the Chiefs be able to run the ball 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.200 in key spots is a little different with Pacheco than 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.360 they have been throughout the course of the Mahomes era. 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.960 I know Pacheco was a big factor last year. He's 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.039 even bigger factor this year. And I think that's where 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.000 you can get after this Vikings defense, which is improved 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.080 this year. They're not the total sieves that they were 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.360 a year ago. Yeah, you're right. 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.760 I mean, like, so the Chiefs have six players with 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.719 one hundred plus receiving yards from one side one pov. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.240 It's like, well, they're versatile, They're spreading the ball around. 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.280 They've got a lot of different ways to move it 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.760 from another angle. It's like this is kind of part 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.520 two of the post Tyree Kill world, where last year 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.960 they deserve and received a ton of credit for figuring 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.480 it out winning the Super Bowl, and it was it 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.760 was without a true star wide receiver. It was like 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.920 a patchwork a group of guys. It feels a little 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.560 less effective through the air this time. I mean, I 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.800 thought he threw a terrible interception last week Mahomes, but 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.880 then everyone like freaks out when that happens. It's like 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.440 he's still allowed to do that. And I think they 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:22.960 can work their way through the mistakes, and I think 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.000 they'll probably look a little different even a month from 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.440 now than they do. I like the Golden Retriever thing. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.560 The Vikings vibe that way to me. I don't think 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.080 that Bryce Young felt that way when Harrison Smith was 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:33.840 coming at Hi about one hundred and sixty two miles 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.760 an hour and blew him up three times. Hey, Bryce, 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.480 you know feel it? Well, that's a different guy. They 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.239 don't know. Team in the league blitzes more than the Vikings. 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.360 But I don't think that matters against Mahomes. He's proven 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:43.680 that time. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.920 I'd be that against Mahomes. But aggressive, that's who they 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:48.440 are on the floor. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.840 So I really do think this defense has a different 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.800 kind of energy to it. They're attacking, this is a 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.760 this is a matchup that doesn't help in that situation. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.280 It helps against Bryce Young with a terrible offensive line 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.840 and he can't see the it's not so helpful when 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.040 Patrick Mahomes, who I think in the last two years 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.440 has added like he's always he always was a good scrambler, 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.760 but what we've seen in the last last season in 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.560 to start this year, his work on the ground is 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.080 like this whole other level up aspect of Mahomes that 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.520 makes them so dangerous, like especially on third and long, 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.320 especially in the red zone. It's like he's getting better 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.440 really well. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.360 I don't think they planned on this, it's just been necessary. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.960 But you're right, he's the most valuable rushing quarterback in 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.200 the league right now according to QBR and I get 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.120 it because every time he runs the ball it's a 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.320 first down and that's part of how they measure it. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.199 But his yards per game, it's way higher than it's 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.600 ever been. And I know it's against Carolina who's had 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.600 some struggles defensively, but I was really encouraged by the 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.240 way the Vikings blew open holes in the running game. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.720 Wow, they looked really. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.000 In sync last week and Madison ran well and Akers 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.839 ran well, and they added some new elements to their 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.480 running game. And I think that's the way you can 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.360 slow down the chief. So if that's consistent, and this 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.360 is a pretty good offense at the Minnesota Vikings. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.920 I think you got a good We knew that right, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.800 like we knew this is we know they were going 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.959 to repeat last year running game. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.880 I was starting to have my doubts in last week. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.120 They really they I think they were like six seven 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:13.840 yards per carry. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:14.560 They were really good. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.400 Yeah, and I'm with you, like the idea that Kansas 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.400 City's defense is way better this year. I'm kind of 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.000 into your theory you've been kind of putting out there 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:24.720 the last couple weeks. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.640 Greg. Like defense, it's so much up. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.439 The dependent and like a quote unquote good defense or 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.640 a well coached defense with skilled players, they're gonna make 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.960 average and bad teams look terrible and then make your 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.720 defense look great. But let's see what the case defense 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.320 looks like against Kirk Cousins when he's locked in and 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.400 Justin Jefferson and Madison get loose and these wide receivers 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.319 that are doing things besides Justin Jefferson and t J. Hockinson, 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.000 who's such a great fit for their offense. I love 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.960 this game. Can't wait to watch you guys before we 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.880 move along. Yeah, Hey, Eric, hey, everybody, I'm a done. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.439 By the way, it's doing good. I was talking to 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:00.960 you the other day about it. It's the human body 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.120 is pretty crazy. Yeah, it is growing back normal, it's 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.719 but what about the sci fi aspect of. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.240 Nothing gnarly, nothing too crazy. It's kind of upsetting. I know, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:10.520 it feels a little weird. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.280 Have you caught anybody you know their eyes drifted? 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:13.640 No? 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.360 No, because I mean just based on what it was 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.400 like to start. You saw the picture how yeah they 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.280 look mangled. I mean it just looks like. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.240 You know how people talk, like when the word was 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.599 trickling through the office that yeah, oh yeah, Eric, you 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.120 know he works with the podcast team. Great guy, you know, sneaky, 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.920 good looking. Yeah, and all this like, uh did you 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.120 see you hear about his stumb? He lost half his hand, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.760 like you know how the people talk. So have you 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.800 noticed anybody kind of just No, I think news is spread. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.120 That's like, hey, he doesn't have a nub, so I'm 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.280 not as cool anymore. But before we move along in 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:46.920 the draft, guy, wait a minute, good check out. 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.600 But if human beings changed, like you're you literally are 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.280 a human where your thumb is growing back, I've never 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.280 heard of this before, Like I did Van Go's ear 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.240 grow back, like there's a lot of examples of like 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.760 losing body parts. They're not like, Oh, then suddenly two 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.520 months later, ears returned, Like I don't I want to 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:01.120 I need to see it. 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.280 I think I had enough of it remaining to kind 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.079 of just make up for the lack. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.240 Of casting doubt on Eric's story. I I it's an 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.920 area where I'd like to have an eyewitness, like you. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.560 Know, I mean I have had some good picture. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.480 I have a picture I can show you. Well, we'll 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:15.200 deal with that off. 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.839 I think I think on Bounce and Go chopping off 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.360 his ear was good for his career, and we probably 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.280 don't leg there's no medical follow up. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.200 He got a lot of pop. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.200 Yeah, not the worst, not the worst thing for Eric. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.080 I don't think it's I don't think he was in 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.520 a great place when he did that, Mango. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.520 But that's fine. You're right, it was a nice career move. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.120 But okay, yeah, before we move on in the draft, guys, 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.360 that's what we're doing. Yes, we do have somebody else 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.120 who wants to weigh in on this. Chief Vikings game. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.520 Has he come out of the darkness? 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:40.880 Hello? 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:46.680 Heroes with the Showman Nick starting us off zero and 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.000 two on the season. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:55.120 We decided to guess what, No. 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.000 Eddie, they're not lockable at this point. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.480 Now back he's sitting over here with his Tom Brady jersey. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.720 On Ah, I love it. I think this week we'll 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.040 go with the new goat. Here are we going with Mackie? 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.079 The Jeeves, Patrick Mahomes the new goat? 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:20.839 Lock it up? All right? So Nick cast out, Well, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.400 big chair, it's a performance related business. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.840 Wow, Phil and his great son Mackie. We're in a 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.800 fantasy that our kids are in a fantasy league with him. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.160 And uh wow, Mackie. I think he's only about twelve 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.320 or thirteen. I'm not sure how old Mackie is at 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.200 this point, but he was giving me the business uh 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.120 on text this week, giving me grief, saying he that 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.000 his dad can't pay the rent because of the old 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:43.640 rain maker. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.680 Well, we've been warning you about that is a real 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.480 Now let's come now, it's you know, come home to roost. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.040 Have you thought any more about little bucktooth Susie? 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.520 You know that's He also said, how come Nick got 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.920 a code for NFL Plus and we didn't. I mean, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.000 he comes with the hard question and we're working on 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.480 everybody looking for handouts these days. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.280 That was the game of the Week presented by Draft 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.600 King sports Book.

All Right, 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:21.760 you are right. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.200 It's an interesting landscape and I kind of like it 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.559 because I sometimes reached with my pick and then it's like, oh, 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.040 it's a bad draft pick. Look, it's like it's the. 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.680 Game I want to watch. So what's the other measuring stick? 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.960 Okay, we got it, all right. Anyways, I am going Carolina, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.280 who are getting ten points in this game against Detroit. 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:38.600 I'm on. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.480 I want this Lion's team. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.200 I told you last week, like I choose when I 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.679 become organically interested in something, and it's not when I'm 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.120 told to. And a year ago I was sort of, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.880 you know, we're making this thing, and it's like, I 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.600 appreciate it was a logical team of atl pick, but 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.240 I like them now Now I like them and they're 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:56.920 interesting to me, and I love who they are. They're 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.360 a team to me from another generation on some level. 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:01.360 Well welcome. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:06.520 Yeah, yeah, it's like once actung babyk Okay, I know, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.400 I know, I know, I know the two of you 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:09.960 will spin it in a way that you can walk 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.120 around the hallways giggling at. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.400 But it's like, I literally am just there. 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.360 I like them now because I like them, and I 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.640 love the fact that like they've changed a lot uh 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.560 to me on defense especially. I mean they are a 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.200 team that is allowing sixty yards per game on the ground, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.040 best in the NFL. That tells me, right there, checkulator Panthers. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.880 There's no way out for a low octane Panthers offense 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.200 that looked completely lost last week against those Vikings and 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.960 made the Vikings defense look like a monster. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.680 I mean they punished Bryce Young uh left and right. 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.000 I never thought David Montgomery, I never liked the what 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:47.760 they did with their with their backfield, to be honest, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.720 when they got rid of Swift and like the rest 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.480 of the crew, and you bring in Dave Montgomery, who 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.040 I never was as big of a fan of as 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.160 like some of our people in the building here, and 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.000 like he was Hughes used like thirty two times last 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.000 night last week for a twenty one yards, the single 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.520 biggest workload of the season. It works. They can run 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.520 the ball, they got a great offensive line. Jared Goff 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.800 right now is PFF's number three quarterback. I think that's fair. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.800 I think it's like we talked about it yesterday with 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:14.840 Nick Chuck and Key Index. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.120 Yeah, nothing braggy there. That just makes sense. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.360 It's it's a little it's a little escalated from I 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.160 think who I think the player is, but like you 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.200 got to base it off his actual performance this year, 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.960 and it's like he's always fit in this offense and 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:28.440 I'm all right with him. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.280 It's like any Dalton was like number five for them 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.160 last year, which is I think those types of quarterback 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.120 pretty well with PFF. Guys that don't make mistakes and 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:34.800 they throw. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:35.760 Gough doesn't make. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.160 Gough not did not make mistakes down the stretch last 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.840 year and he's not made and that was sort of 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.080 his calling card. Under pressure, he'd start to see ghosts 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.920 and create chaos. And I just don't see how the 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.080 Carolina Panthers right now, Like I watched them last week 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:47.400 and it's. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.800 Like the they. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.600 Seem to be going in the wrong direction, and in fact, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.920 I think, like, I don't, I know you want to 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.560 I know you want to like grow Bryce Young, I 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.800 be I'm concerned about where Bryce Young is at this point, 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.160 and I think Andy Dalton would give him a better 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:00.680 chance to win. But that's not what we're doing it. 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.160 Bryce Young on passes of under ten yards has a 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.240 ninety nine point two like rating. Okay, yes, like that's 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.120 what their offenses like a massive amount of their yardage 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.280 and their completions are behind or at the line of scrimmage. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.280 On throws of ten plus yards, is rating dips to 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.520 twenty five point one. He's struggling downfield. They don't got 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.720 a great cast of weapons, and I just don't see 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.560 how you stop a Detroit team that right now feels 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.320 like they're just a rock rolling downhill. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:26.920 I thought that was Bryce Young's best game. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.920 I did go back to watch that one to see 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.240 on the coach just from just like where's this guy at? 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.320 And look, I don't think they were dominated. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.920 They had four drives of over ten plays ten eleven, 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.840 fifteen to fifteen, and it just shows how unexplosive they 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.720 are that they're working so hard, like at the end 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.800 of the game, they need to score a touchdown and 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.040 they go on a seven minute drive to get in 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.560 position for it. That ends horribly, where Bryce Young did 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.760 absolutely look like a rookie. But I'm not that worried 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.440 because I think he makes pretty good decisions. He looks 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.840 comfortable in the pocket, and the situation around him is 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.240 so bad that I think that's been a little underrated. 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.800 They are dead last in the NFL and run block 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.520 win rate, maybe the worst running team in the NFL. 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.040
