Otherwise, 50 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: I would just like take the summary and cut and 51 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: paste the summary into an Excel doc, you know, just 52 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: so I had those hyperlink there or whatever you call 53 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: that to be able to pull that up.

You may you may have an epiphany 57 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: de side. You know what, Maybe I want to go 58 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: back to writing reports, new reports and submit that critical 59 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: Factors audio. 60 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: I want to go back and read my Hakeem Nicks report, 61 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: like I don't have that urge has never got to 62 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: me there, No. 63 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: No Hakeem Nicks. Don't want to go back and talk 64 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: about Keem Nicks. Now, I'll talk about don't think his name. 65 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: The other day he mentioned his name of the day 66 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: when we were talking. 67 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: I think he wore four XL gloves like big, big 68 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: old mits. I mean, I think the wide receiver room 69 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: in North Carolina may be named after Hakkeem Nicks. He 70 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: donated a little money to the model. 71 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, some of that giants, some sweet sweet giants cash 72 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: there nicely done today on the show, we are going 73 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: to we're going to talk about bottom feeders, but we're 74 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: going to do it with a positive twist. We're going 75 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: to take the offense and defenses in the NFL last 76 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: year based by points per game of points allowed per game. 77 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: We're going to have a draft buck and we're only 78 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: going to allow ourselves to pick from the bottom sixteen. 79 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: So the teams that finished up there in the top 80 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: last year, they're off limits. We can't touch them. So 81 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: it'll give us an idea of some teams we think 82 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: are going to make a leap, are going to make 83 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: a jump based off the offseason they've had. Maybe it's 84 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: a return to health with some guys or what have you. 85 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: But I thought that would be kind of a fun exercise, 86 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: just to you know, we always talk about all this is. 87 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: A team that's going to take a leap, this is 88 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: the team that's going to be improved. 89 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: Well, let's look at just those bottom half teams and 90 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: see if we can't identify teams we like to make 91 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: a nice jump this year. But before we get to that, 92 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: this is the time of year where I love these 93 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: little fun projects. So I was like, you know what, 94 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go watch all Tyreek Hills explosives. Just I 95 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: need like a little like a little sweetener, right, a 96 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: little sweet taste there. So yeah, I popped that on 97 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: buck In and then after that I watched a few 98 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: more guys like Ceedee Lamb and some others of their explosives. 99 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't are we fully appreciating what Tyreek Hill is like. 100 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: He looks so different when you I mean, and to 101 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: the point where they move him all over the place 102 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: in that offense. And obviously the different motions that they'll 103 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: utilize with him, including the new one that they busted 104 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: out last year. But you never you never have to 105 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: hunt for the number, you know, used to when we're 106 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: scouting black who has the towel, who has a different 107 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: color cleats like, No, I don't have to know. I 108 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: watched them come off the line of scrimmage and I'm like, well, 109 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: there he is. I mean, from the All twenty two, 110 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: it's he moves differently than everybody else in the entire league. 111 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: I think kids ascension as a wide receiver one is 112 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 2: one of the more remarkable things that we have seen. DJ. 113 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: You talked about someone who is really a running back 114 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: kick punt returner that Andy Read kind of made a 115 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: bold move when he did it to make him the 116 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: number one receiver that first year in Kansas City. He's 117 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: the gadget guy, he's the trick guy. He's kind of 118 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: in the backfield and doing a bunch of things. Andy 119 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: Reid was like, Nope, I'm put him on the outside. 120 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: He's gonna play wide receiver. And he is just become 121 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: an all timer in terms of what he's able to do. 122 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: He is someone that just wins with speed and power 123 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: and explosiveness. He has mastered the art of the speed cut. 124 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: I mean there is no slow down in his game. 125 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: He is rolling in going and I would just say 126 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: we've seen speed receivers playing this league. Like Dashawn Jackson 127 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: was an excellent speed receiver. He was a big play machine. 128 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: But what Tybreek Hill does in terms of not only 129 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: taking the top off the coverage, but his ability to 130 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: take these things on the move, running across the field 131 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: at short intermediate range, I don't know if I've ever 132 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: seen a more explosive, a more dynamic playmaker on the perimeter. 133 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's nobody like him. You know, we 134 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: can go back to young be Moss in terms of 135 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: what he did in this league and Randy Moskin. He 136 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: can do things that Tyreek Hill couldn't do just because 137 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: the sheer size and then the ability to go play 138 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: above the rim on those balls down the field. But 139 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: speed wise, it looked similar, you know, of just him. 140 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: He just looked like he's on a different level than 141 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: everybody else out there on the field how fast he is. 142 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: And they do a great job, Mike mc daniel is 143 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: a great job of final ways to isolate him. And 144 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: then I mean, it looks like to me, not knowing 145 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: how they've designed it, but it looks like to me 146 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: they give him a lot of freedom too. On some 147 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: of those option routes down like deep down the field. 148 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: I think of option routes I've always just think of 149 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: underneath you know, third and four. We get a little 150 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: tight end lot the option like this, this is down 151 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the field, and it looks like he's got the liberty 152 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: to say I can cut this inside or I can 153 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: run a twenty yard out down here. 154 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does look like some of those times he's like, oh, 155 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: you have the option. You can either take it all 156 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: the way over across the field, or you can take 157 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 2: it about halfway, didn't bend it back to the corner, 158 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: and it's just it's a nightmare because his speed changes 159 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: the way that you have to play. I mean, just 160 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 2: the fear factor that he creates one on one on 161 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: the island, and when they move him into the third position, 162 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: because we always count wide receivers from outside end, So 163 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: when they move him to basically the slot where there's 164 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: that speed on three, where they can match him up 165 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: and zone against Mike linebackers or it's a clear declaration 166 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: of man coverage night night. He is putting people to 167 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: sleep because that speed is real. And look even into 168 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: his thirties like he is just I mean, I know 169 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: he's talked about retiring like at the end of his deal, 170 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: but unless he just falls off a cliff, I just 171 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: can't imagine him walking away from the game. 172 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: At the end of that There is a there's and 173 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: you watch them, when you watch all the explosives, you'll 174 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: see the different things people tried to do against them. 175 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: And the Philadelphia game was hilarious. They tried to bracket 176 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: him and tried to and tried, so they've got their 177 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: funneling him inside to the help, right, Buck, You've got 178 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: the safety in the middle, in the middle of the field, 179 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: he splits them and then beats the safety to the 180 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: ball on a go ball, and I'm like, what are 181 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: you supposed to do with that? They dedicated three guys 182 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: to him on that play and none of them stood 183 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: a chance. Like it just I don't know, I don't 184 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: know why. I was just in a curious mode and 185 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: I wanted, like I might just see all these explosives 186 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: and how they're using him and what they're doing. And 187 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: the thing wasn't I didn't come away with a takeaway 188 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: even of like how creative it was and to it, 189 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: I was just like, this guy is just different than 190 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: everybody else out on the field. 191 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: And it changes the way that you have to play. 192 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: It changes the way that you not only have to 193 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: defend Jalen Waddle on the other side, but now you 194 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: can't commit anybody extra to the box. That leaves huge 195 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: lanes for Rahie Mustard, David a Chan all those guys 196 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: on the inside. You can't deal with them because you're 197 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: so worried about him on the perimeter. Truly tilts the 198 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: field in the Dolphins favor, and as long as two 199 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: A teg Abolo it has him in Jaalen Waddle. Their 200 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: offense is going to go. Because we've talked about him 201 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: being a bla at the casino table. He's he can 202 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: get it out and when he gets it out, he 203 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: gets into the hands of a playmaker. That is unbelievable. 204 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's It's one of the cool things about 205 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: this time of years. You get, let's get a little 206 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: tickle your fancy here. What do you want to watch? 207 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: What do you want to jump into? Him's like, all right, 208 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm just going to peek out a little bit of that. 209 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: The other thing I would say is that Ceedee Lamb 210 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: like matches with what the report was coming out in 211 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: terms of the toughness and the run after catch stuff 212 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: like he's he'll slant you to death. And then it's 213 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: just kind of ironic seeing it with the eighty eight 214 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: in Dallas and seeing you wearing people out with slants. 215 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a tradition as old as time. 216 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: Oh ya doing that? 217 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, all of them. You think about Michael Irvin, dez Bryant, 218 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: then Ceedee Lamb, they all have been able to go inside. 219 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: They all have a physicality to their game. It gives 220 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: them an advantage. Ceedee Lamb is unique, and I know 221 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: everyone saw that. The numbers. You know, as much as 222 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 2: we talk about justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamber, Ceedee Lamb's numbers 223 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: are right there are I mean, they're right there. Every 224 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: dollar day he wants is warranted because you can say, look, 225 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: I put up the same kind of production as a 226 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: guy that we are saying is the number one. Ceedee 227 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: lam is a good case. I feel bad for Jerry. 228 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: Big checks, a lot of big checks to write, and 229 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: I just don't know how you build the team after 230 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: you write maybe three big checks to Ceedee Lamb, Dak 231 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: Prescott and then Michael Parson. 232 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no interesting, interesting decisions ahead, But I do think 233 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: that deal eventually gets done. There. He's too good. All right, Buck, 234 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: Let's jump into this offensively. First, here, we've got the list. 235 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: I'll read off the list of the teams so that 236 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the listener can know who we're talking about here. But 237 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: these are the bottom offenses in points per game, so 238 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: we'll start from the very bottom. And then I'll give 239 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: you the teams that are available to be selected in 240 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: this draft. For getting ready to do so last in 241 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: the league. Last year, you had the New England Patriots, 242 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, the Giants, the Jets, the Steelers, the Titans, 243 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: the Falcons, the Commanders, the Cardinals, the Raiders, the Vikings, 244 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Bucks, the Broncos, the Bears, and the Seahawks. 245 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: So the Seahawks would be like the number one seed 246 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: in this tournament here because they average the most points 247 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: of all the teams we just mentioned. They averaged twenty 248 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: one point four points. But that is the bottom half 249 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: offenses and points per game last year. Buck, and I 250 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: am going to give you the I'm going to give 251 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: you the first pick here of the teams that you 252 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: would draft here looking for a market improvement to get 253 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: up higher on this list. 254 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Dan, We're not going to do like the NFL 255 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: Draft where Commissioner Goodell makes us way through full a 256 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: lotment of time before we send the pick in. I'm 257 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: gonna say right now the Chicago Bears. Chicago Bears gonna 258 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: be the top pick in this They're gonna be the 259 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: top pick because Hayley Williams comes over, gives them a 260 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: franchise quarterback. We gun slinker capabilities. You think about the 261 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: upgrades they've made on the perimeter first, Keenan Allen. Then 262 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: you have rome A Doonsay to go with the cole Comet, 263 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: you have DJ Moore, you have Gerald Everett also in 264 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: the house. They can attack you in a variety different ways. 265 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: And I didn't even talk about what is in the 266 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 2: backfield with DeAndre Swift and crew. This offense is drastically different. 267 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: That's why I believe they have to be the first 268 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: offense to go off the board. 269 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: All Right, So you're gonna go with the Bears with 270 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: the first pick. 271 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: I like that. 272 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: And again, they were second on this list in terms 273 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: of where they were last year, behind Seattle. So they 274 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: are just barely in the second half and you could 275 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: make a strong case, as you just did that they 276 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: leap up. I've got a bunch of teams and eyeball 277 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: in here, but I'll tell you what. I'm going to 278 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: go with the Atlanta Falcons with my first pick. Buck Oh. 279 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: I like that because I think when we've looked at 280 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: them and it's been this way for a couple of years, 281 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: just missing the quarterback, you know, they've got a solid 282 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: offensive line, the skill position players. Obviously, they've invested heavily 283 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: in that. They need somebody to unlock all those guys, 284 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: and I think they're going to be able to do that. 285 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: So I and I think Kirk Cousin's coming into an 286 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: offense that he's already familiar with, you know, coming off 287 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: that injury. I don't really see it as a big 288 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: of a deal for him. A pure pocket passer, I 289 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be using his legs to 290 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: scramble too much and get out and get loose. They 291 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: can protect them, They're going to be able to run 292 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: the ball. I don't think. I don't think the division 293 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: is a world beater. So I think they're capable of 294 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: making a massive improvement on their number that what were 295 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: they They were like eighteen point nine points per game 296 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: last year. I think you see a sizeable leap there 297 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: with the Atlanta foulons. 298 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. I think that was fairly obvious. 299 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: The two teams. We talked about the two teams to 300 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: head the biggest quarterbacks that they were required. We talked 301 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: about Kurt Cousins being the gym of the free agent market, 302 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams being the gym of the draft market, and 303 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: we know it. The offenses go as the quarterback goes. 304 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: So that brings me to my pick. And look, I'm 305 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: really rolling the dice. I'm rolling the dice on an 306 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: older player coming back from a serious injury and Aaron 307 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: Rodgers hoping that he can and being surrounded by a 308 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 2: bunch of older players with freakyy knees and all kinds 309 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: of stuff that he can get the jets up and going. 310 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: But if I'm a bet on someone, I'm a bet 311 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 2: on the four time MVP. I' musa say that he 312 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: finds a way to make Nathaniel Hackett's offense work because 313 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: he has all the answers to the test and if 314 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 2: he's available, this offense is going to be improved because 315 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: he is the guy that is the maestro, the one 316 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: that can orchestrate it all that make it work. 317 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were on my list. I had starred them 318 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: as a team that I was going to keep an 319 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: eye on. If they can run Aaron Rodgers out there 320 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: seventeen times, they're going to be marketly improved because they 321 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: have weapons. He'll be able to tap into that. And again, 322 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say they're running Hacketts offense. I mean 323 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: this is Aaron Rodgers' offense. Yeah, Yeah, he's going to 324 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: have all the juice and all the pull and all 325 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: the power there. Although did you see, by the way, 326 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: no not as we've recorded this. We don't know why, 327 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: but they said unexcused. He had told the Jets ahead 328 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: of time he was not going to be here for 329 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: this mini camp. Had an engagement he wanted to get 330 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: to it. Maybe as you're listening to this, this has 331 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: come out and you know why he wasn't there. 332 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: But I was a. 333 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: Little bit surprised by that for a guy who'd had 334 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: almost I think he had perfect attendance there in the 335 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: off season. You care doesn't matter, does it? 336 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: I mean it does, but it doesn't. It really doesn't matter. 337 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: But it's just another story that you have to have 338 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: around what has been a bit of a circus over 339 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: the last year. But we'll see, because the only thing 340 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: that matters is how they start. They got to get 341 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: out the gate fast because if they don't get out 342 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: the gate man, everybody is going to come down on 343 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: his team. It doesn't matter, but you would like him 344 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: to be there. 345 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go with my next pick, and 346 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: don't hit me with the homer call, but I'm gonna 347 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: go with the Chargers. They did not have Herbert healthy 348 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: all of last year. Obviously, the season completely got away 349 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: from him. I know people have looked at it from 350 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: the standpoint of Mike Williams, Keenan Allen gone to new 351 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: receiving corps. I think Georgie's done a good job of 352 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: getting a collection of solid options there. I am a 353 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: believer in Lad McConkie. I think he's got a chance 354 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: to hit the ground run in there as a rookie, 355 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: but the offensive line is better. You can score it 356 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: on the ground as well. 357 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: That is allowed. 358 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: So if we're looking at offense that are going to 359 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: take the lead, I think that protecting Herbert. I think 360 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: he's such a special talent that he's going to elevate 361 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: these guys around him. He's going to be protected, They're 362 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: going to be able to run the football. I think 363 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: the Chargers are an improved offense, even after losing their 364 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: top two wideouts. 365 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because you're talking about that team. That 366 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: team really wanted to commit to running the football. I 367 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: think that is going to be a theme with my 368 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: pick the Pittsburgh Steelers. They don't run the football, and 369 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: in running the football with a quarterback and Russell Wilson, 370 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: and or maybe justin fields. You have a guy that 371 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: is a perfect compliment to a run heavy offense. And 372 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. We've seen this movie before. We saw how 373 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: this movie was early in his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks. 374 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: They ran the football, he made plays, he closes it 375 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 2: out in the fourth quarter. He's talking about someone with 376 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: thirty nine game winning drives in his career in Pittsburgh. 377 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: To me, it's kind of the recipe. I think we've 378 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: talked about it. We talked about that Stillers recipe and 379 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: formula when they had Ben Roethlisberger was a run it 380 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: played the defense in the fourth quarter. We need a 381 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 2: little magic from the quarterback. The same thing is now 382 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 2: true with Russell Wilson. If Russell Wilson can knock off 383 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: some of the rust and just kind of bring back 384 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: that magic, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be a very, 385 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: very difficult team because they have weapons galore on vern 386 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 2: and in the backfield. 387 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Pittsburgh Steelers kind of remind me of a 388 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: group that's had some top hits, like some some some 389 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: top ten on the Billboard Shart hits. 390 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: Oh, so boys to Men like me. 391 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: They then they kind of got away and tried to 392 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: do like a different genre, like they tried to change up, like, hey, you. 393 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 2: Know, whatever we do is gonna work. 394 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Let's and then they we didn't really didn't sell as 395 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: many albums on that one. Let's go back to kind 396 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: of what we know. 397 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 2: Who we are, you know what I mean? 398 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: On the matching outfits, the matching hats, and let's uh, 399 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: let's go out there and do our thing. So that's 400 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: your boys to Men reference there with the Pittsburgh Steelers, 401 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: I like that one. All Right, we'll go We'll go 402 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: four picks a piece here, So this would be my 403 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: third um. Looking at a couple of these other options here, 404 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Minnesota Vikings as a my 405 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: my continuation to not quit Sam Donald, I'm not I'm 406 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: not quitting them, And I just think with Justin Jefferson 407 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: with with a play caller and Kevin O'Connell with Aaron 408 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: Jones added into the mix. Who by the way, when 409 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: we were doing our consistent Player episode, we didn't get 410 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: to the running backs. But in terms of what he's 411 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: done through his career, he's been a very consistent player. 412 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: So I believe in Minnesota. I believe that, you know, 413 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: we'll see if he can hold off JJ McCarthy. If 414 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy ends up playing, I think it'll be because 415 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy just blew them away more so than Sam 416 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: Donald not being able to be competent. I think they're 417 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: going to have a good offense. I think they're improved. 418 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna improve. Kevin O'Connell does a really good 419 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: job of building the offense around him. You have the 420 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: number one receiver in plays, Jordan Addison should continue to 421 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: improve in his second year. I mean, it seem is 422 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: pretty good. They're loading and I know, uh, the loss 423 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 2: of Kirk Cousins has kind of taken some of the 424 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 2: shine away from their offense, but they have enough power 425 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: to be able to. 426 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: They didn't have him last year. That's why they're on 427 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: this list, you know, because they played last year without Cousins. 428 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, comparing Sam Donald of Cousins, 429 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: like shoot, forget that, you're comparing Sam Donald what they 430 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: were playing with last year. Yeah, and that was the 431 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: whole Schmorgsborg of quarterbacks there in Minnesota. 432 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I expected the Vikings to be good, So 433 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: I am good with that pick. I'm gonna go. And 434 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 2: it's rare for rookie quarterback to help a team make 435 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: a Major League but we did see it last year 436 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: in CJ. Stroud. We've already talked about Kayla Williams, but 437 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: give me the Washington Commanders in terms of being able 438 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 2: to make a jump. And the reason why is Jaden 439 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: Daniels is going to add some juice and some electricity 440 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: to this offense, dynamic playmaker. We have seen what Cliff 441 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: Kingsbury has done with these types of athletes at the 442 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 2: position before. Cala Murray was an offensive Rookie of the 443 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: Year when Cliff Kingsbury had him, look, he could follow 444 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: the same recipe and formula. They have weapons and Terry McLaurin, 445 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: they have Johann Dawson. They've been able to bring over 446 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: a better in Austin Eckler. There's some pieces in place 447 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: for this offense to maybe make a little jump over 448 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: what they finished last year. So I'm gonna go to Commanders, 449 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 2: all right. 450 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: I like that one. I'm gonna stay with the rookie theme, 451 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with a rookie wide receiver making 452 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: an IMPACTNA, I'm gonna look at Arizona. I still believe 453 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: in Kyler Murray's ability when he's healthy and they can 454 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: run him out there. He is gifted, man, he is. 455 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: He's a dynamic player, one of the most electric players 456 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: in the league, to be honest with you, when he's 457 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: out there and rolling. And I think having a receiver 458 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: like this, he's never had a guy like that at 459 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: this point time in his prime. He got d Hop 460 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: when d Hop was a little bit on the downturn there. 461 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: This is a this is a different animal here with 462 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior. So to me, I think this is 463 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: an offense that could take a step forward. They've got 464 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: some young pieces on the offensive line that just continue 465 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: to grow and get better. I'm gonna go with with 466 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals with my last pick book. 467 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: Oh, Kylin Murray, Kyler Murray. 468 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to go Tampa, but Dave Knalis leaving just 469 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: you know that matters, So that was the only reason 470 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: why I didn't. 471 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: I didn't go in that direction. Yeah, I can, I 472 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: can see that. I think you'd look. I think he's 473 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: he's a really good play Baker has a chance. Baker 474 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: brought out his guy, so the Shepherd brought him all 475 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: around my retirement. 476 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: All right, So you ended up Chicago, the Jets, Steelers, Commanders, 477 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: I ended up Falcons, Chargers, Vikings, Cardinals. So those are 478 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: the teams that we were drafting there in the bottom 479 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: half that we expect to make a little bit of 480 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: elite peer as we go into next season. Let's take 481 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: a break, Buck, we'll come back and we'll do the 482 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: same thing on the defensive side of the ball. All right, Buck, 483 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: Let's let's flip over. Let's go to the defensive side 484 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: of the ball. Let me give you the teams here. 485 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: These are the teams in terms of points per game allowed. 486 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: So we'll start with the best of the group here 487 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: that just made it onto the list. So that would 488 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: be the Jacksonville Jags, your Jags there, they gave up 489 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: twenty one point eight points per game, I believe is 490 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: what it says there. My eyes aren't great, followed by 491 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: the Falcons, the Rams, the Bears, the Bengals, the Dolphins, 492 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: the Lions, the Chargers, the Seahawks, the Saints, the Broncos, 493 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: the Colts, Panthers, the Eagles, the Cardinals and the Commanders. 494 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: So you went first on the offensive side of the ball, Buck, 495 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: We'll go over to the defensive side of the ball. 496 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: And I'm actually gonna take a team that I thought 497 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: they turned the corner last year halfway through when they 498 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: got Montese Sweat. I like the Bears. I like their defense. 499 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: I think their secondary is outstanding. I think Sweat gave 500 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: them some pass rush that they sorely needed, and I 501 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: like them to be a I think they have a 502 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: legit shot to be a top ten defense this year. 503 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Bears. 504 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, how about the Bears break them up so both 505 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: of us would with the first picks the Bears. 506 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: I love that. 507 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: That should be a much improved team. Yeah, they had 508 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: to meet dollars. We expect to see them kind of 509 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: make some noise. They're good at mantest. What was a 510 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: huge addition, Uh. I think people should also pay attention 511 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: with it. Austin Booker uh took in the fourth or 512 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: fifth round to get He is a perfect I say, 513 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: one trick pony for that defense. If they're able to 514 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: get the leads like we think with their offense defense, 515 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: that they're gonna be able to kind of create some 516 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: headaches just given the playmakers and pass rushes that they 517 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: have on that side of the ball. So with Chicago 518 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: off the board, I'm gonna do this. They were terrible 519 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: on defense last year in Philadelphia, I mean awful, but 520 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 2: there's something about vig Vangio coming over that leads me 521 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: to believe they're gonna clean all this up. He's gonna 522 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: clean it up, He's gonna look get it, eliminate some 523 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 2: of the mistakes that just led to big plays, demand 524 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: more physicality and tough toughness, better tackling, just cleaning up 525 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: those two areas. We'd give it Egals a chance, and 526 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 2: I would say that Big Vangie gets it done without 527 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 2: even really doing anything with the excellent. 528 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look at what they did in the secondary. 529 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: I thought that was their biggest vulnerability last year. And 530 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: then even in the draft alone, you just look at 531 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: Quinnon Mitchell getting him, you know, arguably the top corner, 532 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: top two corner in this draft, however, just stacked him 533 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: up and looked at him, and then Cooper dejen I 534 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: thought was a gift with him still being there and 535 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: then able to move up and get him in the 536 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: second round. I think that big time improves their defense 537 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: and their secondary, which is going to lead me to 538 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: my next pick because I'm going to stay there with 539 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: using the draft to improve a secondary that needed some work, 540 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: and I'm going to go with the Detroit Lions and 541 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: their defense. You had Terry and Arnold, you had Ennis Rakestraw. 542 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: I think both those guys are really really good players. 543 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: I look at where this defense is also adding Carlton 544 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: Davis to that secondary, So now all of a sudden, 545 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: you go from it being a major weakness to now 546 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: you not only have some talent, you have some depth 547 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: as well. So to me, I look at this group, 548 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: I look at a defensive line that's led by Aiden Hudginson. 549 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: We'll see what they get out of Marcus Davenport. You know, 550 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to stay healthy when he's been 551 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: out there, and he's been you know, physical and disruptive, 552 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: if not productive. But I do like the different levels 553 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: of their defense, and I think they're improved, and I 554 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: think their offense is going to put them in chase 555 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: mode where they're going to be able to just run 556 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: and chase, playing with the lead and really hunt quarterbacks 557 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: and create turnovers, and that's why I like the Detroit 558 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: Lions with my second pick. 559 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 2: One thing that I love and respect about the Detroit 560 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 2: Lines is that they draft and acquire talent to the brand. 561 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: The brand is about grit, It's about toughness, energy, effort, 562 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: all those things that Dancamps talked about. With the guys 563 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: they bring on board, they are high motor, high energy players. 564 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: They can play with for so for ness. Given the additions, 565 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 2: this is a nice team. I just want to see 566 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: how they handle kind of being going from being the 567 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: lovable losers the now a team that points to as 568 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: a favorite. There's a different energy that comes with being 569 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: the champ. They're gonna have to get ready. 570 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: To face that have no doubt. All Right, you're up next. 571 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 2: Okay, So this is one that is It's kind of 572 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 2: tricky because I took a big fan early, but then 573 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: I'm looking and I'm thinking the Seattle Seahawks whould be 574 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: a team that makes a move. Mike McDonald comes over 575 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 2: and part of the reason why this should work. His 576 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: game coming over from Baltimore really simplified everything for the defenders. 577 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: Even though they had layered patterns and all this other stuff. 578 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: What they did is the teaching model allowed them to 579 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 2: be more conceptual and kind of utilize some of the 580 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: positionless stuff that we've talked about in Seattle. I believe 581 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: he and Harris a unit that on paper, individual talent wise, 582 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: they're on part with what the Ravens are. But now 583 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: can he organize it orchestrate it and put it together. 584 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: I'm saying that Mike McDonald can do that, and that's 585 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 2: why I expect this defense to be vastly improved. 586 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: All Right, I like that one, and I'm going to 587 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: stay on that same tree. I'm going to go back. 588 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: I did it on offense, I'm going to do it 589 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: on defense here. I'm gonna go with the Chargers because 590 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: of jesse Mentor and that defensive scheme. You just talked 591 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: about McDonald. What the Ravens have done, we saw it 592 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: at Michigan. That's what's taken over the league. And so 593 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: this is a this is a check markt a belief 594 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: in jesse Minner. It's also a check mark and a 595 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: belief that this is the year where you're gonna actually 596 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: get Bosa healthy. If he's healthy for the whole year 597 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: with him and Mac and Twee Polotu. That is a 598 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: really good trio. Matt coming off a career year last year, 599 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: big time year. With those three guys, I think they'll 600 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: figure out how to unlock her when James get him 601 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: back to playing at an all pro level. And I'm 602 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: going to give you a name here that's a sneaky 603 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: name for an All Pro candidate this year, and that's 604 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: a Sante Samuel junior with all with all the chaos 605 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: that they'll be able to create with these simulated pressures, 606 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: as well as having pass rushers that can win. With 607 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: those three names that I just mentioned, the ball is 608 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: going to come out and where Sante Samuel might have 609 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: some shortcomings in terms of some tackling issues at times, 610 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: and maybe you could question some of the pure, pure 611 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: deep speed. What he can do is play top down, read, 612 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: drive on the ball, and take the football away. You 613 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: saw it in the Jags playoff game a couple of 614 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: years ago. Buck, we were both there in the building. 615 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: We have three picks in that game. There are tremendous 616 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: ball skills there and I think this scheme, I think 617 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: you'll see him. I think he's going to have a 618 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: monster year. 619 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would expect him to have a monster year. 620 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: And you talked about the scheme creating opportunities. They can 621 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 2: set traps with their simulated pressures. You don't know where 622 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 2: it's coming from. The blitz pattern remains the same, the 623 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: people executing the pattern change it, which makes it very 624 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: difficult for the offense. And it's junior just the instincts, 625 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: the awareness, the natural ball skills to make plays on 626 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: the ball. He's gonna have a chance. He's gonna have 627 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: a chance to do fantastic things. So you talk about 628 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 2: being a homer, I would be a homer. Now I'm 629 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: gonna talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars, and one of the 630 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: reasons why I'm optimistic about the Jags is the combination 631 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator dB coach, past game coordinator Ryan Nilson Christopher Shart. 632 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: Ryan Neilson comes in to clean up a defense that 633 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: fell apart down the stretch. But Ian Harris a front 634 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 2: line that features two guys that does double digit sacks 635 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: and Josh Allen and Treyvon Walker respectively combined for twenty 636 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: seven and a half sacks. He has some pieces to 637 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: play with on the second level and in the secondary 638 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: that will give them a chance to get it done, 639 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: and as Nilsen really puts his imprint on the front, 640 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: christ Rashara can really do a good job of kind 641 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 2: of making sure that this defense, the secondary plays up 642 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: to the standard. Tyson Campbell, you're thinking about Andre Cisco 643 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: some of the other young players that they put out there. 644 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 2: If christ Reshard does but he's always done whatever he's 645 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: gone Seattle, than in Dallas and other places. These guys 646 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 2: are gonna play well if they played with him back 647 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: inn They're gonna be able to hunt a quarterback on 648 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: the front. 649 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that one. I'm gonna I'm gonna give 650 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 1: a nod here to a coach that I believe in 651 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: here and that's Gus Bradley. I'm gonna go to the 652 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts and this is a defense that added the 653 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: best pure pass rusher in the draft when they lat 654 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: to Quity Pays, a really good young player. They have 655 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: speed everywhere, and we've talked about that each and every year. 656 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: I think Gus gets those guys rolling. I think he 657 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: gets them playing hard. I think the offense having the 658 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: quarterback healthy will take some pressure off of them. I 659 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: think Anthony Richardson not only having him as the starter healthy. 660 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: I think with him, even when he doesn't run, you 661 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: have to account for him, which is going to aid 662 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: the running game, which is going to lead them to 663 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: control the clock. This defense is not going to have 664 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: to play as much Buck. I think they're going to 665 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: be fresh, and we know that they're fast and athletic, 666 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: and they've added some pass rush. So my final pick, 667 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Indianapolis Colts. 668 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: Ooh, they are fast. They are very very fast defense, 669 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: they get after it, they do it a bunch of 670 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: different ways. Gus Bradley simplicity allows them to be very 671 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,239 Speaker 2: very aggressive, and so I'm for it. This is a 672 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: tough one because really some interesting choices to go on 673 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 2: and Okay, let's go here. I'm gonna go I'm take 674 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: look worse the first Let's go to Washington Commanders. And 675 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: one of the reasons why I'm a bank on the 676 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: Commanders has little to do it at personnel and everything 677 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 2: to do with coaching and culture. With Dan Quinn did 678 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: a really good job of cleaning up the mess that 679 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: they inherited in Dallas. Same approach, same philosophy, and Washington 680 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: can produce better results. I just want to see the 681 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 2: commanders play hard. Like if they play hard, they have 682 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 2: enough talent up front, particularly at the tackles and Jonathan 683 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: Allen de Ron Pain to be able to make things 684 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: challenging for opponents. But we haven't seen them play with 685 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: great effort. That's not going to be the case now 686 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 2: and Quinn are going to demand that they increase the effort. 687 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: More turners are going to happen. So they may not 688 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: go from worse to first, but I certainly can see 689 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 2: this team being a vastly improved team that goes from 690 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: maybe the worst to maybe the middle of the pack, 691 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 2: and that by all account should give them the nod 692 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 2: and an opportunity to be on this list. Is one 693 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 2: of the teams to make the biggest leap and as. 694 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: Their performance, Yeah, I thought Adam Peters in the offseason, 695 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,959 Speaker 1: you know, you have choices, right, you can go with 696 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: the big ticket, shiny object and have one or two 697 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: of those. I thought he did a you know, the 698 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: approach that he took was I'm gonna spread this out 699 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: and we're just gonna add a bunch of depth. We're 700 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: gonna ad a bunch of good dudes, a bunch of leaders, 701 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of veterans, and and that's going to try 702 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: and just just try and take the whole level and 703 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: raise the whole level up a little bit instead of 704 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: maybe being a little bit lopsided one side or the other, 705 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: a little bit heavy here or there. 706 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 2: I thought that was the approach that they took. 707 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: And that's where getting to your point is identity, culture, 708 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, effort, you know, playing smart, those things like 709 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the collective. I think that would raise 710 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: this defense up more so than men this individual player 711 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: that they added or that guy. 712 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe that is that is it just changing 713 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 2: the way that they play, changing their standards when it 714 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: comes to how they get down and what they want 715 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: to do. If they do that, they have a chance. 716 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: And that's look, that's really important. It's really seeing dinificant 717 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: for them. If they make it happen, I expect to 718 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: see this team play at a much much like a 719 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: higher level. 720 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: So I'm looking for teams that made both lists. So 721 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: if we're going to try and find teams that are 722 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: going to make the leap. So Chicago made both lists, 723 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: the Chargers made both lists. Let's see Washington made both 724 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: both lists. Let's see the now Pittsburgh, No, the Jets. No, 725 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta did not make both lists. Minnesota did not make 726 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: both lists, As didn't. So those are the three teams. 727 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: So if you're going to say, according to us, who 728 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: do we see as the three most improved teams in 729 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: the NFL this year, it is the Chicago Bears, it 730 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: is the Los Angeles Chargers, and it is the Washington Commanders. 731 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: So that's uh, that's pretty fascinating when you think about 732 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: it that way, Buck, of teams that we expect to 733 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: be holistically better offense and defense. 734 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, holistically better. And some of that has changed the environment. 735 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 2: Some of that has improved the personnel on both sides 736 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 2: the ball. But a lot of times's coach is a 737 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 2: coach coming in whispering to right sweet nothings to help 738 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 2: his group, his unit play better. And if we get that, 739 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 2: it should be excited. Because every year DJ we see 740 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: four to five new teams make the postseason. Maybe some 741 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 2: of these guys that we're talking about find their way 742 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 2: into the tournament as surprise teams. 743 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be interesting to follow. No, Bill track 744 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: this one, log this one down. If we get to 745 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: the end of the season, we can look back on 746 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: the middle of June when we recorded an episode and 747 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: identified the Bears, the Chargers, and the Commanders as possible 748 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: playoff teams coming off of years where they were not 749 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: as not as well thought of, especially from a numerical 750 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: standpoint offensively and defensively. So those are three teams we 751 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: expect to make a nice leap this year. Buck, anything 752 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 1: else you want to add before we jump out of here. 753 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 2: Now, find conversation, fun project to take on. 754 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I always feel like you learn a little bit there. 755 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: If you have any ideas or projects you want us 756 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: to look at. By the way, some tape that we 757 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: can dig into. This is that time of year. Happy 758 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: to do it, and uh we'll talk about it here 759 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: on the pod. Until until then, though, we appreciate you 760 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: thanks for being part of our community here and we'll 761 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: see you next time on Move the Stats.
