Speaker 2: has hopes of a Super Bowl win holding up the

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Lombardi Trophy. Mitchell, I know you feel great about your

61
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions in that NFC North, and I feel good

62
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: about the San Francisco forty nine Ers and the Seattle

63
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: Seahawks this year with new coach Mike McDonald and the

64
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: scheme that he's been drawing up. There's a lot of

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: excitement and a lot of energy coming out of that

66
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: training camp. How you feeling, Mitchell.

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Richard fired up? I for one am going to the

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: game Sunday night. Matthew Stafford returns back home to Detroit again,

69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: where he was met with a chorus of booze during

70
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: that playoff win. No surprise there being in Detroit of

71
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: this Detroit city wants wins, especially in the playoffs. We're

72
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: not used to them. Let's just start out by you

73
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: your territory, the NFC West, where our listeners love to live.

74
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: Let's take it down the line. Vegas has some predictions

75
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: out there. They got the Niners at over under eleven

76
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: and a half, the Rams that over undered eight and

77
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: a half wins, the Seahawks over under seven and a half.

78
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: That might be a little light and then the Cardinals

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: at six and a half. Richard, what are your thoughts

80
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: of the NFC wes. Who's taken the crown this season?

81
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: Well, Mitchell, it's gonna be It's gonna be a dog fight,

82
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: much more than it has been the last couple of years. Obviously,

83
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: the Rams surprised a lot of people last year with

84
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: how well they played. Sean McVay raheem. They did a

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: great job with that team, very young team, pooking the

86
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: cool came out of nowhere. They played really well defensively.

87
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: But now you know, you're not gonna have Aaron Donald,

88
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna have Stafford another year older. You know, how

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: was Cooper Cup's health? He had a down year ish

90
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: last year. Can pook in the cool repeat? Kyron Williams

91
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: was a was a revelation last year. Can he continue?

92
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Those are the questions they need to answer if they're

93
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: gonna have success in this conference. I got him right

94
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: around what Vegas has them that Mitchell eight eight and

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: a half wins, you know, eight wins, nine wins just

96
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: over a winning season, maybe sneaking to the playoffs at

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: the end. Sean McVay obviously is gonna draw it up Well,

98
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna have a good good chance, but starting out

99
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: in Detroit is gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough

100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: to go out there and win with the way Detroit

101
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: is built, the way Dan Campbell has built this team,

102
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: this culture, the way this community has gotten behind them. Mitchell,

103
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: there's a lot of positive energy coming out of Detroit,

104
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: and they have a really good team. Let's not let's

105
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: not say it's all good energy out to winning these balls. Okay,

106
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 2: they have a really good team. They're paying their guys.

107
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: I'm and Ross Saint Brown got paid, Piney Sewell got paid. Defensively,

108
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: they filled some holes with Carlton Davis at the corner spot.

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 2: They drafted well, Branch will be better, Hutchinson will be better.

110
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a really tough

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: out for anybody going to Detroit or playing them on

112
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: the road either way. But I do think the San

113
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers have a really good chance to

114
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: win this division. Again, I think the Seattle Seahawks are

115
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: going to give them a run for their money in

116
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: a dogfight, especially with the scheme that Mike McDonald has.

117
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: They had a lot of trouble with it when he

118
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: was in Baltimore. Obviously, this is a different place, different personnel.

119
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: But one thing the Seattle Seahawks have done is they

120
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: have invested in that defensive line a ton. They got

121
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: Leonard Williams, they just drafted Byron Murphy. Draymont Jones is

122
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: playing in his more natural position on the end in

123
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: a You know, it's hard to say three four four

124
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: to three. You know, it's all gonna look pretty blended

125
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: at this point. But they got Jaron Reid, who's gonna

126
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: be a monster within this scheme. It's gonna be really

127
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: fun to watch. Boye Mafe has been a menace. It's

128
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: gonna be really fun to watch that lineback in court.

129
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: It leaves a lot to be desired at this point

130
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: in time. I look forward to seeing what they can do.

131
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: I try to tell people, hey, you need to keep

132
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner. People say, oh, you're crazy new blood. Knew this,

133
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: knew that well. I got high hopes for your dog

134
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: and we don't see. But in the secondary, they're going

135
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: to be fantastic with Devin Witherspoon. I think Tarik Wooland

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: had that shoulder injury last year, but he's poised to

137
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: return to the upper echelon of cornerback play and to

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: be one of the best corners in the National Football League.

139
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon is going to be an all around great player,

140
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: especially playing that nickelback role, the role Kyle Hamilton I

141
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: think played last year. I think Kobe Bryant, not the

142
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: late great, but the Kobe Bryant who moved from nickel

143
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: to safety on this defense is going to have a

144
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: great impact. I think that's a phenomenal move for him.

145
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Jordan Love is going to be continued to be a great.

146
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: But the San Francisco forty nine ers have gotten Trent

147
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: Williams in the building. I believe, you know, reports reports, reports,

148
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: I can't confirm. I'm not there. I wasn't on the

149
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: plane with him. I'm not seeing any Instagram updates. But

150
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they got him in the building just

151
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: in time to get ready for this game. I believe

152
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: if anybody else was gonna come in this late into

153
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: the process, I'd be like, I don't know if he's ready.

154
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: But Trent Williams, at thirty six years old, played the

155
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: best left tackle in football, and I think that's been

156
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: pretty unanimous. I think he's gonna come in ready to play.

157
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna come in ready to do his

158
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: job at a high level. They got the New York

159
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: Jets at home on Monday night, a Rodd's return again.

160
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: A Rod has not historically played well against the San

161
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers. I think they're gonna be able

162
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: to come out of that game with a win. I

163
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: know it's been a tumultuous offseason for him, but I

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: still think they have everything that it takes. I look

165
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: forward to seeing Nick Sorenson and what he can do

166
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: with this defense. It's gonna be consistency. It's gonna be letting,

167
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: the pass rush, rush, the coverage cover. I think Charvarius

168
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: Ward and Diamador Leonor are gonna help elevate this team.

169
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: Talanoa Hufanga, Oh, I love to hear that he's back.

170
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: He's questionable obviously for Week one, but he's back in

171
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: the fold. I think this is gonna be a fun

172
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: year for this team. Nicholas John Bolsa, everybody knows is

173
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: gonna have a really great year, a huge impact. Javon Hargrave,

174
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to play. What are they gonna do

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: without Eric Armstead. Can the guys that they replaced him

176
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: with by committee be able to replace his impact? Because

177
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: he his impact was much bigger than the stat sheet

178
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: could ever show, And that the offensive line this preseason,

179
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: we saw what they could look like without Trent Williams.

180
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: Now that he's back in the fold, are we gonna

181
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: see a little bit more continuity there? Are we gonna

182
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: see a little bit more Consistentcye, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel Brandon, Ayu,

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: Ricky Purcell. Parcell just got shot, but he was in

184
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: the weight room the other day, Mitchell, I respect the kid.

185
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: He's getting a lot of street credit, Mitchell's he's walking

186
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: in that locker room. You know, play many men got

187
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: which death upon me? Blood and my dog? And I

188
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: can't see, like, Mitchell, you get shot and two days

189
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: later I'm in the weight room. This is dedication. This

190
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: is dedication you like, I can't wait to see it.

191
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: It's wild, Richard, It's an absolutely wild story. I mean,

192
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: this guy, like you said, getting shot, coming back two

193
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: days later, that says a lot about him. And I'm

194
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: sure he gained a ton ton of respect in that

195
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: locker room.

196
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: Richard.

197
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: The Richard Sherman podcast brought good fortune to the San

198
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers right after we wrapped our segment

199
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 1: last week the big story of the off season with

200
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, and we were talking about it last week,

201
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: and then I think the Richard Sherman Podcast might have

202
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: brought some good fortune and good luck to San Francisco

203
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: forty nine er land because right after we wrapped, we

204
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: got news that Brandon Ayuk has signed his mega extension,

205
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: which is huge, and Richard, I got a feeling just

206
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we might bring more good luck and good

207
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: fortune to the folks out in San Francisco that Trent

208
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: Williams might be signing his extension right after we wrapped

209
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: this up as well. Richard, with that being said, with

210
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: the off season issues of Ayuk and Trent Williams now

211
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: hopefully behind San Francisco, are you worries about this team decreased?

212
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Do you think that they come out of this division victorious?

213
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: Well, my concern level without Trent Williams in the building

214
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: was a nine point four, Mitchell very concern with him

215
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: back in the building. With Brandon Ayuk situation resolved, I'm

216
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: very happy for Ba. He deserved every penny. He deserves

217
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: what he gets. He's a tremendous teammate, tremendous guy, tremendous player.

218
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: Happy for him and his family. Another guy in the

219
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: volte but again the San Francisco forty nine ers or

220
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: on a timer Mitchell times ticking like it has to

221
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: be now, it has to be now. It's a lot

222
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: of things, a lot of tough decisions happened last next year.

223
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: Obviously it started this year. They lost Eric Armstead. That

224
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: was a tough decision. I don't care what you say,

225
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: I don't care what you think. That's a very tough decision.

226
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: The guy's playing his whole career there, done a great

227
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: job for this team, and now they're playing without him

228
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: because it was financial, you know, the salary cap is

229
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: what it is. That cap hit was too big and

230
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: they had to move on, which is I think every

231
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: each side understood. Eric got paid in Jacksonville. But I

232
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: feel really good with Trent Williams back in the building.

233
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: I think he solidifies this team. I think he's an enforcer.

234
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: I think he's a leader. Obviously one of the best

235
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: football players in the National Football League, and he helps

236
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: his team tremendously. I think I feel really good about

237
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: them being a one or two seed in the NFC

238
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 2: this year. You know, with fingers crossed, you know, great

239
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 2: health for the team, but you know everything. This is

240
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: why people love football, because anything can happen. Any given week.

241
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: Your season could be in jeopardy. One guy sprains an ankle,

242
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: and now you know he's out four games and we're

243
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: talking and having a whole different conversation. But I think

244
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: they're gonna do well, and I'm excited for BA. I'm

245
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: happy for Trent, him getting his money. Has the best

246
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: tackle again. I don't know how the tackle market got

247
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: so far away from the receiver market. That's another question

248
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: for another day. But it's gonna be fun. It's gonna

249
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: be fun this season. I think it's gonna be a

250
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: very competitive NFC West. I do not see the Arizona

251
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: Cardinals doing a lot. I'm sorry, Phoenix fans, Cardinal fans.

252
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 2: I don't see a lot of talent on either side

253
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: of the ball. Obviously, Marvin Harrison Junr. Is gonna be fantastic,

254
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: even though they can't sell his jersey yet and he's

255
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: in a lawsuit with fanatics. You know, that's a whole

256
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: different story for a different day. But Kyler Murray, you know,

257
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: I think he's on the hot seat a bit. You

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: got to figure out if he's gonna be a franchise

259
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: quarterback or not. And I think it's a legitimate question.

260
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: You know, he came in, he came in, played okay

261
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: last year at times, obviously dynamic as a runner. But

262
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: can they win with them? Can they? They gave him

263
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: a huge weapon in Marvin Harrison Junior. Obviously he's or

264
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: he's a rookie, but can he win? And he has

265
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: to show what this year are They're gonna have to

266
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: be some hard conversations about moving on from it. It's

267
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: football season and you can now get almost anything you

268
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: need delivered by Ouber Eats. What do we mean by

270
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: you can't get baby back ribs delivered. A strong defense

271
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: that's enough, But a strong deodorant that's a yes, A

272

Speaker 2: six pack of abs definitely not. But a six pack

290
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: More excited for this conversation, Richard, I was just reading

291
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: an article. Bill Simmons came out with his NFL hierarchy,

292
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: the pyramid, if you will, and alone on that pyramid

293
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: was none other than my hometown Detroit Lions. I never

294
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: thought this day would come, but here we are. Vegas

295
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: loves the Lions over under eleven and a half wins.

296
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: They've got the Green Bay Packers nipping at their heels.

297
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: They obviously, you know, anytime you strike gold three times

298
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: in a row, quarterbacks, and now Jordan Love taken over

299
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: there in Green Bay, and then the Bears. I mean,

300
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: there's so much talent in Chicago with Caleb Williams, with

301
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, roma Dunes that they bring in

302
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift.

303
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: The list goes on.

304
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of name value in Chicago. Richard, Who

305
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: do you like coming out of this division?

306
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: Uh? Obviously I like your Detroit Lions. I think they're

307
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: the class of division. I think what the Green Bay

308
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: Packers showed last year gives their fans some optimism and

309
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: gives everybody a bit of Paul's because can they do

310
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: it again? You know, it's one thing to surprise people,

311
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: sneak up on them. Hey, they don't understand. You guys

312
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: are young, and you guys snuck up on them. But

313
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: it's another thing when people are looking you dead and

314
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: I and you gotta show it again. They're prepared for

315
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: what Jordan Love brings. They have a year of tape

316
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: on him and everybody always says, oh your tape, and

317
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: they can figure it out, But the greats continue to

318
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: elevate even after they've did you jout? And so can

319
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: he do that? That'll be a question they have to

320
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: answer defensively, Jay r Alexander in that defense, Preston Smith,

321
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 2: those guys, will they continue to elevate with Hafley? They

322
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: got Jeff Hafley as a decordinator. Now he'll bring a

323
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: very consistent scheme like we did in San Francisco in

324
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and I'm sure they'll respond well. I'm sure

325
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: there'll be a top ten defense offensively that young receiving core.

326
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: Can they continue to be healthy? That's gonna be a

327
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: big thing for them. They showed by committee they're a

328
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: really talented group that can get it done. But who's

329
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: gonna be the one for them? Who's gonna be the

330
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: number Is it gonna be Watson, Is it gonna be Read?

331
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: Who is going to be the number one receiver for them?

332
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: On a weekend, week out? Basis? Because it was by committee,

333
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: every game you look up and somebody else is the

334
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 2: leading receiver. And that may be how they do it

335
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 2: this year. And it's hard to game plan a team

336
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: like that. Quarterbacks spreading the ball around but I do

337
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: not think they're beating the Detroit Lions for the division.

338
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: I think it's Detroit's division to lose. I think they

339
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: coming second. I think the Vikings find a way to

340
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: come in third. And I think Caleb Wood, I mean

341
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and these these bearers coming forth, but they

342
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: just don't have the experience yet. I think he'll do well.

343
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: I think he'll make some exciting plays. I think they'll

344
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 2: see that there's a lot to be excited for in

345
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: the future. I think he has the receiving core to

346
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: have make games really exciting. I think that defense with

347
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: Montese Sweat Jalen Johnson, they made this defense a really

348
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 2: top ten defense for the last eight games of the season.

349
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: Can they continue on that path, because this is gonna

350
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: be a really competitive division, not that coming and forth

351
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: in his division. They may win nine games and still

352
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: coming forth, Mitchell, they may win eight games and still

353
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: coming forth, or they may be tied, you know, right

354
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: there with the Vikings. I think it's gonna be close,

355
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: but I don't see him doing much more than that. Well.

356
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: I love your hype for the Lions, Richard, and I'm

357
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: gonna jump on board with that. As well. The story

358
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: around Detroit this offseason has been Dan Campbell's approach, you know,

359
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: not not just taking what they did last year and

360
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: being okay with it. Their goal, as Brad Holmes said,

361
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: is to win the Super Bowl, and that's their expectation.

362
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: They've approached this offseason as such. They played all their

363
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: starters and you know, the joint practices they've They've suffered

364
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: a couple of injuries, they've they've dealt with that. But Richard,

365
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: this team, the Detroit Lions team is only elevated from

366
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: where they were last year. A lot of folks have said,

367
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: can they can they get past that next hurdle? And

368
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: I think they can. They brought in and addressed their

369
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: positions of stress last year. I mean, they were starting

370
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: guys that were fresh off practice squads in their dB room.

371
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, this is something this year they're not going

372
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: to have to worry about. When you draft two corners

373
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: back to back in the draft with Terry on Arnold

374
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: and as Reichstraw, and then you bring in a guy

375
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: that you loved in Carlton Davis, and then you solidify

376
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: that a defensive line. I don't want to overhype the Lions.

377
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: But I truly think you're looking at a top three offense.

378
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: You got the best offensive line in football, you got

379
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: one of the best running back tandems. There's question marks

380
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver three. But this Detroit Lions defense

381
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: is where I think this team's going to elevate. I

382
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: believe they're gonna be a pop time defense in this league.

383
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: And what's even more wild to me, Richard, what's even

384
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: more and I know you probably saw it playing with

385
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco and Seattle, is that there's now players aging

386
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: veterans that are wanting that one last shot at a

387
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: title that are now signing with the Detroit Lions. We

388
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: saw Tim Patrick sign with them. We just saw Alon

389
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: Robinson sign with him. This never would have happened in

390
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Detroit before, and it's happening now. Brad Holmes is faced

391
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: with having the good fortune of agents calling him as

392
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: opposed to the Lions calling and begging for their clients

393
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: to play for the Lions. Richard, I love Detroit out

394
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: of the NFC North bias aside, I think they win

395
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: it and I think they are strong, strong Super Bowl contenders.

396
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: Let's take it to the NFC South. The story here

397
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: is really about the Falcons. You know, they've got this

398
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: plethora of offensive talent, and they bring in the veteran,

399
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: the proven winner and Kirk Cousins, who I know you've

400
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: loved for years, Richard. Let's start there. How good can

401
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: this Atlanta Falcons team be with Kirk oh at the helm.

402
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: Mitchro they can be very good. And I think it's

403
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: gonna be really interesting to watch this conference because I

404
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: mean this division, because there hasn't been a lot of consistently.

405
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: See obviously Tampa has won it the last few years.

406
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: Obviously Tom was there, Baker did really well last year.

407
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: The year before you know, it's it's it. Mike Evans

408
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: is an inevitability. The Saints have been kind of down

409
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 2: quarterback situations rocky, but Atlanta bringing Kirk Cousins in brings

410
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 2: a bit of legitimacy to this franchise. I think his receivers,

411
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: these Kyle Pitts, will have a great year. Jery London

412
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 2: will have a great year, but John Robinson will benefit.

413
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: The offensive line will benefit where Heem Morris, the new

414
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: head coach, will benefit them. Bringing in Matthew Judon for

415
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: a third round pick, that's gonna be great for that defense. Obviously,

416
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: Justin Simmons, what was he still doing in free agency

417
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: available for a team like this to pick him up.

418
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: He's going to be a huge addition. You don't randomly

419
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: get all pros just sitting in free agency. I think

420
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: this defense, this team is gonna be legit and that's

421
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 2: why Vegas has some at nine and a half wins.

422
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be really competitive everywhere. I think

423
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna surprise a lot of teams. Kirk is gonna

424
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: continue to surprise a lot of teams. He's gonna be

425
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: very good. But John Robinson will probably make a lot

426
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: of fantasy owners really happy this year. I'm excited to

427
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: see what Kyle Pitts can do with competent quarterback play consistently,

428
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: uh and Pennix will be on the bench. Terry Fontino

429
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: has done a great job just forming this roster, filling

430
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: the holes. I'm excited to see what they can do.

431
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: But again, Tampa Bay is always going to be there.

432
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: I think Baker is poised for another good year. That defense,

433
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: you know, Kyle Bowl, I mean Todd Bowles and that

434
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: defense has I mean, they're consistently an issue and it

435
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: takes people time to figure them out, and if offensively

436
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: they can be as explosive as I expect them to be. Obviously,

437
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: they lost Dave Canalis to Carolina, but they still have

438
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: Mike Evans, and if I know nothing else, I know

439
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 2: Mike Evans since Jesus was a baby, is going to

440
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: have one thousand yards and nobody else in the history

441
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: of this game, outside of Jerry Rice, has had one

442
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: thousand yards as many times as Mike Evans has Mitchell

443
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: in a row. It's this is going on year eleven.

444
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: It's wild. It's absolutely well having consecutive years crazy.

445
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: It's insane. And like you said, the Box are that

446
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: team that I think everyone overlooks, and we talked about

447
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: them last year going into the season.

448
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 2: You liked him.

449
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: I like him. I think Baker is more than a

450
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: capable quarterback and he proved it last year. The Saints

451
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: are always going to be the Saints. You know, we'll

452
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: see if they can stay healthy, if Derek carrk and

453
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: can get that offense, you know, moving in the right

454
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: direction on a routine gaming game out manner. They were

455
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: in games, but they couldn't close them out all the time.

456
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: And then the Panthers. They're the Panthers. We shall see

457
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: about them. But Richard to confirm you like the Atlanta

458
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Falcons coming out of the NFC.

459
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: Norm I like it between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa.

460
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: Let mean, if I got a gun to my head, yeah,

461
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: I take it. I take Tampa because Tampa has been

462
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: proven and they just prove it and I just can't.

463
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of unknowns for Atlanta. They

464
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: have all the pieces where it should work, but they

465
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: haven't done it. And so until they do it, I'm

466
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: not gonna give them all that. Carolina I don't think

467
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: has enough talent yet to go. I think Dave Canali

468
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: starts to get them on the right track, wins a

469
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 2: couple of games, surprises a couple of people, but I

470
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna gonna make any too much noise

471
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: in this conference. Alvin Kamara's contract is up, and they're

472
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: just acting like it's just oh okay, We're like maybe

473
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: on the hot seat. It's just they've just been cruising

474
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: along for the last couple of years since Sean Payton left,

475
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: and nobody's saying anything. What is Derek Carr doing? I mean,

476
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler looked good, So there may be a little

477
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: quarterback controversy late in the season. If they're not winning games,

478
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a lot of noise to plip Spencer

479
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: Rattler in the game and give him a shot. He

480
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: looked really good in the preseason at times. But that's

481
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: my two cents for the South. I like it.

482
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 1: NFC East. Now, this one is always always goes the

483
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: direction that Vegas doesn't think. Vegas thinks the Eagles are

484
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna win the division this year. Ten and a half

485
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: will get games over under Cowboys at nine and a half,

486
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: the Giants at six and a half, and the Commanders

487
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: at six and a half. Richard, let's cut right to

488
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: the chase here. Is it gonna be the Eagles or

489
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys?

490
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: Well, Mitchell, oh boy, We'll start with the Cowboys. When's

491
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons getting paid? Have they got paid yet? No?

492
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: When's Dak Prescott? You know it's There was a very

493
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: odd conversation from Jerry Odd mental conversation with Jerry Jones

494
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: where they asked him about Dak Prescott and he basically said,

495
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: I love Dak Prescott as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

496
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: It's done a great job for us, and that's what

497
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: you need, is a great quarterback in this league. You

498
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 2: didn't say you're gonna keep him, because if you were

499
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: saying you were gonna keep him, you would say, we're

500
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: working on getting this contract done. Just give us a

501
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: sec we're figuring it out, and we expect him to

502
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: be quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys for a long time.

503
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: That's not what he said. He didn't. He didn't give

504
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: anybody confidence that he believes in Dak Prescott or that

505
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott is a long term answer in Dallas and

506
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: that as an outside observant. For all Dak's faults, Dak

507
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: was second team All Pro last year. I don't it

508
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: is very rare you hear about a second team All

509
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: Pro quarterback being talked about like he's just a joke,

510
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: just a jag Minchell, just another guy. And that's the

511
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: way the Dallas Cowboys are treating Dak Prescott. They should

512
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: be sitting signing him up. Trevor Lawrence got fifty five

513
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: million dollars. He's not better than Dak Prescott. He's not.

514
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. There's there's very few quarterbacks that can have

515
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: an argument or a debate about better. Obviously, Maholmes is

516
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: in a mountain, top of the mountain, not a question.

517
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's there with Burrow. They're probably right there. One

518
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: and two. Then then it gets up in the air, Mitchell,

519
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: if you like Lamar, it's Lamar. If you like Dak,

520
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: it's Dak. If you like you know, if you like CJ.

521
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: Stroud to be thrown in that mix, you can like.

522
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: If you like Brot Party in that mix, you can, Mitchell,

523
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: you you you'd be well within your rights to put

524
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: those guys in it. Obviously, Aaron can fall anywhere in

525
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: between there because four time MVP don't don't count him out,

526
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 2: but they're treating him like he's just a bottom tier quarterback.

527
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: And that's ridiculous. And that's why I don't have a

528
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: lot of faith in him, Mitchell, because he doesn't have

529
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 2: a lot of faith in them. So maybe they win

530
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: this division because the way Philly ended last year, all

531
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: day always open. AJ Brown wasn't was hurt banged up?

532
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: Maybe wasn't, I don't know, you know, wasn't playing. There's

533
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: a lot of losing a lot of games in a row.

534
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: I think they lost five or six or something at

535
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: the end. It just didn't look like the team. Then

536
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: you lose Kelsey in the middle, which is a much

537
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: bigger deal than people are saying. It's gonna put a

538
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: lot more pressure on Jalen Hurts, who everything we've heard

539
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: from training camp has done very well with the transition.

540
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: Put a little more pressure on him, a little more

541
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: on his plate, and he's he's handled it beautifully. Uh.

542
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 2: They paid aj Brown, so he's there. He's happy. Uh

543
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: got Art is back, he's healthy. They got Saquon Now

544
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: that's a big deal. Offensive line is still one of

545
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: the best offensive lines in football. But without Kelsey, we're

546
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: gonna see a difference. Just understand that it's gonna be

547
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: different defensively. They Bradbury got injured, and however you feel

548
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: about Bradberry, he's out. Keethy Ringo, who should have been

549
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: a first round pick, you know, fell a little bit

550
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: in the draft. But it's getting his chance to start

551
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: for the Philadelphia Eagles, and I think he's gonna do

552
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: really well. He's gonna be really impressive on the opposite

553
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: side of Sleigh. Obviously, they drafted two corners and neither

554
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: neither one of them could beat him out. That says

555
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: something that's telling as well. They got CJ. Gardner Johnson back,

556
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: who was kind of their minutce back there, and I

557
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be really good for that secondary. I

558
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: think they're gonna get back on track. But Sirianni, if

559
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: if it's not a great season, I think they're gonna

560
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: start being a little bit of heat up under that seat.

561
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: And I'll give it to Philly. I'll give it to

562
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 2: Philly just because I'm not I don't see Dallas believing

563
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: in their guys. You're not paying Michael Parsons. He's been

564
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: two time first team All Pro and you're not paying

565
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: him because you guys aren't winning and you're ready to reset.

566
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: Let Michael Parsons and Dak Prescott go somewhere else, Mitchell,

567
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: and you'll see how much the rest of the league

568
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: values them. If Jerry Jones doesn't value them, I guarantee

569
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: you there's probably thirty other teams that are within the

570
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: show exactly. I think Tennessee Titans will be sitting there

571
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: at Dak's doorstep at twelve oh one am when they

572
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: can with a Brinch truck and everything he needs. You

573
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: need ten Acas in Tennessee, you got it. But I

574
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: got Philly winning that division, Dallas coming in second. I

575
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: think the Commander's coming third with Bobby Wagner, Dan Quinn

576
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: bringing some stability to that franchise, Jade and Daniels kind

577
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: of kind of getting things back on track. I think

578
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: they got a good d line obviously, Bobby Hall of

579
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: Famer linebacker corps. The secondary is gonna have to They're

580
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: gonna have to learn, They're gonna have to trial by committee.

581
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: I think the receiving corps solid. Obviously Scary Terry's been there,

582
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,719
Speaker 2: he's been consistent. Hopefully Jadon Daniels brings them up some

583
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: more energy, but I don't. I don't see them winning

584
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: that division. But they could surprise. They could. Maybe Jason

585
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: Daniels has a CJ. Stroud like season and elevates that

586
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: franchise to the Promised Land and they upset Philly in Dallas.

587
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: That's not out of the cards. But the New York Giants, Mitchell, Mitchell,

588
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going, Mitchell, I feel bad for the fans.

589
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you. I feel frustrated. I'm

590
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: out because you let Sakwan y'all when you look at

591
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: your team and you're like, we got Daniel Jones, Like,

592
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: but then you like how we got say Kwon Barkley.

593
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: That that makes me feel a little better. We got

594
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: one of the best player running backs like you got

595
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: you got Malik Neighbors, one of the best receivers in

596
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: the draft this year gonna be dynamic. Who's your running back?

597
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. Got two good tackles, you know, two

598
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: really good tackles, which is what you need. Defensive line,

599
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: you got a really good defensive line in they brought

600
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: your Dory Jackson back into the fold to be on

601
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: the opposite side. The defense will probably be solid. But

602
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 2: you got Daniel Jones, Mitchell. No matter what you do,

603
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: you come back and say, we paid Daniel Jones. And

604
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: I know, no matter how much Giants fans want to

605
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: ignore that fact, it is glaring every single week. You

606
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: saw in the preseason he had another blunder play where

607
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: you're just like, geez, little wiz, this is their starter,

608
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: this is the guy.

609
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Oh, they've brought it up and the HBO is hard.

610
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: The offseason. I don't know how much he had time

611
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: to watch that, Richard, but they brought it in and

612
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: they basically said, hey, we're willing to draft a quarterback here,

613
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: and we're willing to trade the sixth overall pick and

614
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: a couple picks next year too to move up three

615
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: spots to get that quarterback. That shows you what they

616
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: think about Daniel Jones Richard. But back to the Commanders,

617
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: like you said, this is a dark horse team for

618
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: me in the NFL as a whole, because if Jayden

619
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: Daniels can come in and he showed it at Arizona

620
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: State and at LSU, he can take teams and elevate

621
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: everyone around him, and you've already seen it with Commanders,

622
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: they have playmakers on the outside. If they can get

623
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin going and Jayden Daniels has a similar season

624
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: in the CJ. Stroud, this could be a team that

625
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: sneaks into the Wildcard and makes some noise, much like

626
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: the Houston texas As did last year. While we're talking

627
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: about the Texans, I want to talk a little bit

628
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: about the AFC South. Let's take it to the other

629
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: conference the AFC. THEFC South projects the Houston Texans to

630
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: win this Vegas projects the Texans to win this division

631
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars, Colts, and Titans followed behind Richard. How

632
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: much do you love CJ. Stroud with this offense? They've

633
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: added Steph Diggs, They've added Joe Mixon. Can this Texans

634
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: team elevated to the next level? What are your thoughts here?

635
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: Very high hopes Mitchell I have.

636
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: I think in that AFC Championship, the final four of

637
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: the National Football League, I expect him to be there.

638
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: I'd be very surprised if they're not there. They're well coached,

639
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: Tamiko Ryans has done a phenomeno job offensively, defensively, schematically.

640
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: They are ready to take the next step. I think CJ.

641
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: Stroud is the real deal. I think Nico Collins. I

642
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: think getting Tank Dale back in the mix off of injury.

643
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: I think adding Stefan Diggs and hopefully he understands his role.

644
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: You got three good receivers, so the baul is gonna

645
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: get where it's gonna get. Dalton Schultz is also gonna

646
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 2: get his touches. They have a really good old line.

647
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: The Jeremie Tunsil outside of Trent Williams is one another

648
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: one of the best tackles in the National Football League.

649
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: On the left side. Defensively, Derek Stingley is making his

650
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: case that he's the top five corner of the National

651
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: Football League, if not top three. Uh they have. They

652
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: got is Z's al Shair from this AF well from

653
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. Now he's back in the fold with Demico.

654
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: That's gonna be great. Will Anderson is gonna be a

655
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: problem with Danil Hunter now in the mix. Who's who's

656
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: walking ten sacks every single year, Jalen Petree, Jimmy Ward

657
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 2: opposite side, Kamari Lassiter from Georgia who they drafted in

658
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: the second round. They're saying he's one of them. They're

659
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 2: saying he's one of them. Mitchell, he beat out your boy,

660
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: Jeff Akuda. You know who was the top three pick.

661
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: You know who's who's had a resurgence, who's had a

662
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: resurgence in his career and none better. But he was

663
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: beat out by the rookie, and that says a lot.

664
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna make a lot of noise. I

665
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: think Joe Joe Mixon is gonna be a big, big

666
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: time player. Their offense is gonna be good, their defense,

667
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 2: they're gonna be a tough out. I got them at

668
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 2: twelve thirteen wins.

669
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you one bit. And then the

670
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: question becomes, I know you're not a huge fan of

671
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, but the Jags were hot at portions of

672
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: the season both last year and the year before that.

673
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: They just couldn't keep that consistency going. Can the Jaguars

674
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: challenge them or are you just writing them off at

675
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: this point?

676
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to write them off because they

677
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: have talent offensively, but can Trevor Lawn stopped turning the

678
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: ball over? Canny stop? Because their defense is getting turnovers

679
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: at a historic rate at times. That's why they get hot,

680
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: because their defense gets a lot of turnovers and if

681
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: they don't, they don't have success. And that's true if

682
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: you just look at the stats Trevor Lawrence, when they

683
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: don't have a turnover and all their defense doesn't get

684
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: a turnover, he's one and eighteen. So it's really based

685
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: on what the defense is able to do. They have

686
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 2: to get turnovers. They have to give him the ball

687
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: back consistently, and he has to stop turning over so consistently.

688
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: If he can do that in Dug Peterson's offense, I

689
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 2: think they you know, Travis Etn is really good. They

690
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: got some good players that can get the ball. Christian

691
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: Kirk has had some really good times. I think they

692
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: can be a competitor. I do not think they can

693
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: take the division from the Houston Texans, but I think

694
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 2: they can make the playoffs and be a solid team.

695
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be on that defense causing turnovers and

696
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence limited them.

697
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the Colts. I mean, this is a

698
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: team Anthony Richardson finally healthy. Hopefully the Colts could be

699
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: another one of those teams at the dark horse. Anthony

700
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: Richardson's really got to come out and prove himself this division.

701
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's up for grabs because

702
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: I know Houston. I believe it is going to come

703
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: outvictorious here. But the Indianapolis Colts is another team, much

704
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: like the Washington Commanders that are a bit of a

705
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: dark horse right now. If Anthony Richardson can come out

706
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: and be dominant, look out for the Colts, Richard, look

707
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: out for the Colts. Let's move it to the AFC West.

708
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: The Chiefs back to back Super Bowl champs, can they

709
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: realistically three peat this year?

710
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: Richard, I don't put anything past them. Last year was

711
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: your chance. Last year was your chance, Mitchell. Last year

712
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 2: was your chance if you were going to beat them.

713
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: They were having an off year. They went in as

714
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: a wide. They didn't have home field advantage throughout the

715
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: entire playoffs. They have to go on the road in

716
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 2: the playoffs. They had to go to Baltimore. Did they

717
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: have to go to Buffalo? Yep? Like that was your chance?

718
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: They got to go to you Buffalo January at home? Yeah? Hot,

719
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: they're there. You know they're they're vulnerable offensively, more vulnerable

720
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: than they had been. You didn't know who their stars were.

721
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: You know where she Rice was was having a solid season.

722
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: But they were just by committee. Obviously, Travis Kelsey's always there.

723
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: He's an inevitability. You gotta worry about him. He's gonna

724
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: be there. But now, Mitchell, they're getting They've gotten better.

725
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 2: They got their deep threat again, they got their speeds

726
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: sturing worthy, their defense. I mean, you saw him in

727
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. They play really well. Spags Is is

728
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: drawing it up better than ever. I don't know, Mitchell.

729
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: I think if you were gonna get them, you had

730
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: to get him. Last year they were having an off year,

731
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: Mahomes was having a non Mahons year. They didn't get them.

732
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: So yes, I think they can repeat. Mitchell, I think

733
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: it's gonna be again. I think San Francisco forty nine

734
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 2: ers meet them there again. I think they're emotionally drained.

735
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: I think they're tired. I think they're I think they

736
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 2: can do it, like they can beat them. They play

737
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: them in a regular season, regular season game will not

738
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 2: matter at all. San Francisco can beat him by forties,

739
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: the Chiefs can beat him by forty. None of that

740
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: matters if you meet again. But I it happened last

741
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: year was a very missed opportunity for a lot of people. Mitchell.

742
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: That was a missed opportunity for Buffalo and his missed

743
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 2: opportunity for Baltimore and Lamar Jackson MVP season at home,

744
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: great defense, Mike McDaniels. Now Baltimore has a new DC,

745
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: it's different, there's a little bit of transition in there.

746
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 2: But we'll see, Mitchell, Well, we'll see how they can do.

747
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: But I think you had to get them last year.

748
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: So with all that said, I think they have a

749
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: great chance. I think the Chargers will be better I think.

750
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: What are your expectations of Hardball entering year one after

751
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: a hiatus and a national championship at U of M

752
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: last year.

753
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: I think he does well. I think he goes old school,

754
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: which is how he's won every level that he's played.

755
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna run the football, even with even with Herbert

756
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: as the quarterback, He's gonna run the football. He's gonna

757
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: play action, he's gonna play to their strengths. I don't

758
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: know who they have that receiver right now, Mitchell that

759
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: can do it without Keenan Allen. They still have Mike Williams, right,

760
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 2: but without Keenan Allen that's been a guy.

761
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: And Mike with the Jets, they got Josh Palmer and

762
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: McConkie from Georgia and then they also signed h DJ Shark.

763
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: So that's who they're dealing with out there right now.

764
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: Rich that's it, and so you don't have a go

765
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: to so now justin Herbert is gonna have to figure

766
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 2: it out. But again, Hardball has done a lot with

767
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: a little in terms of building it. I don't think

768
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: they win the AFC West this year. I do not,

769
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 2: but I think they come in second because they'll run

770
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: the ball. He'll get the most out of that defense

771
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,479
Speaker 2: because they'll play the time possession game. Joey Bosa says

772
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 2: he wants to be relevant. Well, you guys are as

773
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: relevant as it gets right now, and so I think

774
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna have a really good chance to do as

775
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: he That's why he's had success. They brought Greg Roman in,

776
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 2: who's the running the football savant they're gonna I'm telling you,

777
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: he can draw it up for however you feel about

778
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 2: him coordinating offenses. In terms of run game, He's as

779
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 2: good as he gets and I'm not gonna not gonna

780
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: debate that. That's why he brought him in. I think defensively,

781
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna get maximized that talent finally, really good players.

782
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: I look forward to to seeing what they can do.

783
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: And let's take it to the AFC North. This is

784
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: probably one of the most competitive divisions in football. The Ravens, Bengals, Steelers,

785
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: and Browns all projected, you know, eight and a half

786
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: plus wins by Vegas. Let's start with Cincinnati because last

787
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: year was an interesting one for them without Joe Burrow

788
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: and winning consistently without your your star quarterback is very

789
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: difficult and we saw the backup come in and really

790
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: keep that team competitive. How much of an impact does

791
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow have on this Bengals team? Can he get

792
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: him back into the AFC Championship Game? Can he get

793
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: him back into the Super Bowl.

794
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 2: We're about to see. We're about to see exactly how

795
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: important Joe Burrow is because Jamar Chase says he's not

796
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: playing until he gets one penny more than his LSU brethren,

797
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson and I do not think that Mike Brown,

798
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 2: being the penny pincher that he is, is gonna do it,

799
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: and he hasn't done it yet. Games in five days

800
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: has not done it. I don't think Jamar Chase has

801
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 2: played or practiced yet. I could be wrong, but I

802
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,479
Speaker 2: don't think he's played a practice. And if he doesn't

803
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: play in his game, they can still win. But if

804
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: he doesn't play the first couple games of the season,

805
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna see how important Joe Burrow is. Can he

806
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: have that success without Jamar Chase? Is it's the chicken

807
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: or the egg who's more important. We've had to see

808
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase without Joe Burrow. Obviously for times he's had

809
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 2: his ACL he went out last year with the thumb injury.

810
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: Can Joe Burrow consistently win without Jamar Chase or can

811
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: they get Jamar Chase paid as the top receiver in

812
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: the National Football League, which is what he's looking for.

813
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: That's the question. In Cincinnati. I don't know what they're

814
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: gonna do with their defense. I think their defense is

815
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: kind of taking a hit that there. You know, it's tough.

816
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: It's a very tough division. It's become Baltimore's division again,

817
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 2: and I think that's gonna be the case again this year.

818
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: I think Cleveland will make some noise, but if they don't,

819
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: the Deshaun Watson conversations get even louder because they were

820
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 2: able to to go on a run last year with

821
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 2: our guy, well faithful. Joe Flaggle took him on a

822
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: run last year, took him on a fun ride to

823
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You know, it petered out, but it was

824
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: a fun ride for those fans, and they don't see

825
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: the same kind of production with the guy they're paying

826
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 2: millions and millions and millions of guaranteed dollars. I think

827
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 2: a tough conversation is gonna start to occur for Stefanski

828
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: and uh, because they got a lot of talent and

829
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: then they picked up Jerry Judy. Uh. You know, I

830
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 2: think I think their receiving corps is really solid. They're

831
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: gonna be able to Chubb's not gonna be back for

832
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 2: the first four I think, but once they get him back,

833
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: they're even more solid. A five Miles Garrett is a monster.

834
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 2: Their secondary, their their defense has done fantastic. They played

835
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 2: fantastic football last year and I think that continues. I

836
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: don't I don't know Cincinnati's gonna be above Cleveland this year.

837
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: I think they might be second third in a division.

838
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: Maybe nine wins and depending on when Jamar Chase is

839
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 2: really depending on Jamar Chase's availability. If he's not available,

840
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: that number changes.

841
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: Well that's wild. Do we like the Ravens.

842
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's no reason not like the Ravens. I mean,

843
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: they Dereck Henry, they don't lose a ton, they get healthier.

844
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 2: They lose Mike McDonald to the Seattle Seahawks. But I'm

845
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: sure schematically they're gonna attempt to at least be similar

846
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 2: to what they did last year. Yeah. I see them

847
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 2: comfortably winning this division and being competitive in the to

848
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: be in the final four, they have to show they

849
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 2: can beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Though still they like,

850
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm not putting them.

851
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: In there, because this was a team that looked flat

852
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: out immortal during the regular season and then all of

853
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: a sudden you face the buzz saw that is Kansas City.

854
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: And like you said last year, this team in Kansas

855
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: City was not the same team where you see him.

856
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden in that game they

857
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: were and it's like, can the Baltimore Ravens finally get

858
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: past that last hurdle? They were right and paying Lamar

859
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: he looks like that guy everyone thought he was. We

860
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: shall see I too, like the Ravens out of this division.

861
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: And it was still a few plays that changed the game.

862
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: You know, there's a force fumble, Well he's heading over

863
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 2: the goal line. You know that that I think Lagerius

864
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: Sneed made that play. You know, just still a few

865
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: plays in the ball game. But that's it's a game

866
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: of answeres, that's all. What it always comes down to

867
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: is a few plays here and there. And they say

868
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: they got away from the running game, and that's why

869
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 2: they brought Derrick Henry in. But again, are you gonna

870
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: feed Derrick Henry in the way that he needs to

871
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 2: be fed to be effective, or are you gonna let

872
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: Lamar pass the football? I don't know. They went away

873
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 2: from the run game in the playoffs and critical situations.

874
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 2: That's why they probably didn't win the game. If they

875
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: would have kept unning the ball, who knows where they

876
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 2: would have been. But hopefully they don't make that mistake.

877
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 2: If they don't, maybe they beat Kennas City this year.

878
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 2: Maybe the tides are changing in Baltimore.

879
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: And finally, the afcast probably arguably the division with the

880
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: most question marks going in you get the return of

881
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers finally with the Jets, and then the Bills,

882
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: who lost a ton of talent offensively and defensively for

883
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: that matter. And then you also got to look at

884
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I mean, who do you like the most

885
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: out of those three? Richard? Is it Aron and the Jets?

886
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes it is. I like I want the Jets.

887
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I don't want to jinx him this year.

888
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: I did too much with him two years ago. I

889
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 2: feel like I jinked him. I'm not gonna jinks him

890
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 2: this year. I feel really good about the Jets. If

891
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is healthy. Tyron Smith in a in a

892
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 2: green jersey is going to be different in an adjustment

893
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 2: after being in the Dallas Royal Blue for so long

894
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 2: and white with the Star. It's gonna be different. But

895
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: he's still a really good player and still couldn't hold

896
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 2: his own. Hopefully he can stay healthy for sixteen seventeen games,

897
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 2: because that's what that was. Another achilles heel. Their tackle

898
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: play last year. I think I think they're going to

899
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 2: be really good. I think Garrett Wilson is up for

900
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 2: a career year with Aaron. I'm sure Aaron feels like

901
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: he owes it to the kid. Their defense, I'm sure

902
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: he feels like he owes their defense. Who've been playing

903
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: lights out one of the best secondaries in football. Added

904
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 2: Chuck Clark from Baltimore. They got Tony at Adams obviously,

905
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: Michael Carter and the Nickel Sauce Gardner and DJ Red,

906
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 2: Sauce and Reed, you know, give the Jets everything they need.

907
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 2: They gonna they're gonna make sure they keep a lead

908
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: with Sauce and Red, you know, things of that nature.

909
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: You know, we gotta get Sauce on the pod so

910
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 2: we can continue to come up with different anecdotes and

911
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 2: rhymes and things of that nature. But I think I

912
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: think Miami, I think they come back to earth a

913
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 2: little bit. I think there they'll be good, really good defensively,

914
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 2: offensively Tyreek. You know, I think Sneed showed people a

915
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 2: little bit of something. You know, I think his comfort

916
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 2: level with Tyreek showed people, hey, he can be pressed.

917
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: Now get up there, challenge him, feel him like, be aggressive,

918
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 2: be consistent, be confident, and that there's there's corners in

919
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: this league that are willing to play that way, you know,

920
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 2: play the way Snead uh played him in that divisional game,

921
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 2: divisional playoff game. Uh. And why they're gonna have to

922
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: have a really good season to a tongue of Ailoa

923
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: got his money. Now he's gonna have to show consistency.

924
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,959
Speaker 2: We'll see. They're gonna have to have run the ball

925
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 2: with the way they did with Devin Chain and Raheem Moster.

926
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: They had incredible years last year. They're gonna have to

927
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 2: continue to have those kind of years in order for

928
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: Miami to have success. And we'll see if they can.

929
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: You know, Mike does good job drawing it up. But

930
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: I think they're set for second place in this division,

931
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 2: and I think Buffalo is the third because Josh Allen

932
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 2: is an incredible quarterback, but you're taking his weapons. I

933
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: think Dalton kon Kid has a really good season. I

934
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 2: think Kean Coleman has a breakout rookie year, Khalil secure

935
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: Shakira has a good year. But is that enough? Like

936
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 2: you said, there's been losses on defense. Can Ken a

937
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 2: name that you haven't heard for a while, Ken von

938
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 2: Miller get back to his old form, That'll be a

939
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 2: huge deal for this defense. Ken von Miller make an

940
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: impact this yeason. Can he make have ten sacks? Obviously

941
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: a lot of years in football for von Miller, so

942
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: be what it's fourteenth year. You know he came in

943
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: with me, Mitchell and I've been on TV for three years,

944
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: so let's not get crazy here. You know, to walk

945
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 2: away from the game at this time would be a

946
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, one of the best to ever play.

947
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 2: But can he make that impact? And I think he can,

948
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 2: But I just don't think they have enough offensively, enough consistency,

949
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 2: enough veteran presence to really be competitive in a year.

950
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: They're going to have to be well.

951
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: Richard, that gets us through our division. So we've gotten conclusion.

952
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Got the Niners out of the NFC West, the Bucks

953
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: out of the South, the Lions out of the North,

954
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: and then the Eagles out of the Easts. And then

955
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: we go to the Chiefs, the Texans. You like the Ravens,

956
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: and now you like the Jets. So who are going

957
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: to be your wild card teams? We got picked? Give

958
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: me three from the NFC and three for the AFC.

959
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: I want to walk you through your game by game prediction.

960
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: I guess if you will these playoffs. Let's ke go

961
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: who wins the AFC Championship, NFC Championship, and Super Bowl.

962
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: Much get too specific. We're gonna just pick the line

963
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 2: pick the lineups. Rich These teams play before I can

964
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 2: really give you all that nitty gritty.

965
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: Give me something to talk about her, Richmond.

966
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 2: We got NFC, we got one. We got it. We'll

967
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 2: start at the bottom. I got Atlanta making the playoffs

968
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 2: at seven. I think they sneak in there. I think

969
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 2: they find a way. I got Dallas coming in at six.

970
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 2: I think they they you know, they still have a

971
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: really talented team, so they're gonna make these playoffs. I

972
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 2: think the Green Bay Packers at five. They're gonna be

973
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I don't think they beat Detroit. I

974
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 2: think Philly wins the division, but they're they're worse than

975
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 2: the division. So therefore of the division champions. Uh, I

976
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: think Atlanta wins. So there they have ten wins and

977
00:52:54,520 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 2: they're the Bucks. Bucks Bucks ten wins, So the Bucks

978
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 2: are in at three. And then oh boy, I got

979
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,439
Speaker 2: to San Francisco forty nine ers getting the one seat. Again.

980
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 2: Talented Mitchell, They're just too talented. They're too good of

981
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 2: a team for me to put him at a two seed.

982
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: I got the Detroit Lions at the two seed. That's

983
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,720
Speaker 2: my NFC. Wait, did I not put Seattle in the NFC?

984
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: You did not? Hey, I gotta go back, go back.

985
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 2: I'm not taking out Falcons. Just miss it. Seattle's in,

986
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 2: and we'll put them at We'll put them at six,

987
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 2: move Dallas to seven, and we'll keep Green Bay at five. Yeah,

988
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: feel good about that.

989
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:38,280
Speaker 1: Okay.

990
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 2: The AFC, I'm gonna go the opposite way. We've got

991
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs as the one seed. I think

992
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 2: Worthy is just gonna play in that Tyreek role and

993
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 2: give Patrick Mahomes something he hasn't had for a couple

994
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: of years, and that's a lot more space on the field.

995
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 2: Him back in the safeties up some and having a

996
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 2: respect or not back in the safeties up and just

997
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: going over the top of them for a number of

998
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 2: touchdowns is gonna be huge. Uh, Baltimore being the two seed,

999
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: Houston at three, you're gonna make a lot of noise

1000
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 2: at four. I have.

1001
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: M hm.

1002
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 2: The j A t S Jets, Jets, Jets winning the

1003
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 2: AFC East fifth seed. I got the Miami Dolphins, sixth seed.

1004
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 2: I have It's it gets tough. Mitchell had five.

1005
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: It gets tough Rounds, Bengals, you got that's it does

1006
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: get tough, Jags, Bills.

1007
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 2: I got the Bengals with Joe Burrow staying healthy. And

1008
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 2: then I have I'm missing someone.

1009
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: You talk to Bills or the Jags or the Charge.

1010
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 2: I got the Bills, I don't. I don't know about

1011
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 2: the Jags right now. I'll go Bills. I'll go Bills.

1012
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 2: I'll give Josh Allen that that he has enough to

1013
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: get his team over the hump.

1014
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: What do we like in the AFC Championship game.

1015
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 2: AFC Championship, Yeah, I said, Stroud will be in its

1016
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 2: Stroud Chiefs Texans NFC Championship repeat Detroit, San Francisco Super

1017
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 2: Bowl Detroit, I mean San Francisco Chiefs, Mitchell. I'm sorry,

1018
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Look Mitchell, it's hard britt hotel here that

1019
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers are winning the Super Bowl.

1020
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 2: All this turmoil, all this all season drama gets overshadowed

1021
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: by Super Blombardi Trophy. The quester for six ends is

1022
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 2: what I say again, I was really close last year,

1023
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 2: but my goodness, what overtime win for the Kansas City Chase.

1024
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: And then finally, Richard, let's talk about a little forecasting here.

1025
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,959
Speaker 1: Give me your coach of the year.

1026
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 2: Coach of the year is give me go Ryan. I'll

1027
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 2: go Ryan. Coach of the year far and away takes

1028
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 2: this team, makes him really competitive offensively, defensively, has c J. Stroud,

1029
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 2: the MVP race, very strong receiving corps, has them vying

1030
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 2: for the one seed deep into December. I think offensive

1031
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year probably is going to be probably

1032
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 2: Kean Coleman. Just ideal situation, not another true number one.

1033
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna get a lot of footballs his way,

1034
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities, really good quarterback, who's gonna be dynamics,

1035
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 2: scrambling around, hit him deep down the field, put him

1036
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 2: in positions. Joe Brady's gonna gonna do a good job

1037
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 2: with him on the in this offense. Defensive Rookie of the Year, your.

1038
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 1: You got one of Detroit. Easy picking for you, Richard.

1039
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: His name's Terry On Arnold.

1040
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 2: That's easy pick for you.

1041
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: That's your pick, Mitchell, that's ah, that is my pick.

1042
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: Okay. I think Byron Murphy in Seattle is gonna have

1043
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 2: a really good year. Strong bet just with Mike McDonald,

1044
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: the way he's gonna use him, the way they're going

1045
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 2: to pressure, the way they're gonna confuse, offensive schemes, offensive

1046
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,400
Speaker 2: line schemes, blocking schemes, He's gonna have a lot of

1047
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 2: free shots at the quarterback outside of him winning on

1048
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 2: his own accord.

1049
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about the NFL MVP.

1050
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: MVP, It just depends on if they get bored with

1051
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: Patrick or not. If they're bored with Patrick's performances, you know,

1052
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: it's just greatness. You get boring and they get tired

1053
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 2: of voting for the same guy and giving him regardless

1054
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 2: of how well he plays. Unless he's throwing for six

1055
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 2: thousand yards. Jalen Hertzeill put his name in had no rings.

1056
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud will put his hat in a ring.

1057
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. If he has that team and competitive anywhere

1058
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: near the one or two seed, he's gonna be in it.

1059
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 2: Ay Rod A Rod's one four of them. You know

1060
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: he's he's loader long in the tooth. But if he

1061
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: starts playing in low turnover football, high touchdown, that ratio

1062
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 2: gets to to get crazy again, he'll be in it.

1063
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 2: Brock Perty will be in it. Because San Francisco fort nine,

1064
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 2: this will be competitive. H Your boy Jared Golf might

1065
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: make uh now we're talking.

1066
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: Now we're talking.
