And it's Friday, which means we 7 00:00:40,988 --> 00:00:44,428 Speaker 1: watched live action football last night and beautiful football. It 8 00:00:44,628 --> 00:00:47,428 Speaker 1: was for one team in particular, So we get into 9 00:00:47,468 --> 00:00:49,308 Speaker 1: this cool I think we show because we have so 10 00:00:49,388 --> 00:00:51,068 Speaker 1: much to talk about it. I can't I can't even 11 00:00:51,068 --> 00:00:54,588 Speaker 1: go and direct. Let's go Steady and my friends, defending 12 00:00:54,628 --> 00:00:59,108 Speaker 1: world champion La rams They hung a banner, unbelievable torching. 13 00:00:59,468 --> 00:01:02,228 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey looked lost. There was a miscommunication in the secondary. 14 00:01:02,268 --> 00:01:04,228 Speaker 1: We're going to talk all about it. And the Bill 15 00:01:04,948 --> 00:01:08,708 Speaker 1: poked the champs by three touchdowns on the road to 16 00:01:08,908 --> 00:01:11,428 Speaker 1: start what is supposed to be a very special season. 17 00:01:11,788 --> 00:01:14,428 Speaker 1: One to know in resounding second half fashion, and then 18 00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:17,788 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's energy comes way down and his business face 19 00:01:17,908 --> 00:01:20,268 Speaker 1: gets right on after after the game, after all the 20 00:01:20,308 --> 00:01:23,388 Speaker 1: hip Josh did the Bills really need this win against 21 00:01:23,388 --> 00:01:26,468 Speaker 1: the defending champions to make a statement. No, we need 22 00:01:26,468 --> 00:01:28,188 Speaker 1: to win a game. We need to put our best 23 00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:29,988 Speaker 1: foot forward, try to execute the way we know we 24 00:01:29,988 --> 00:01:31,748 Speaker 1: can execute, and just try to win a game. That's 25 00:01:31,788 --> 00:01:33,428 Speaker 1: all you know, want to know each week is our 26 00:01:33,468 --> 00:01:35,508 Speaker 1: mindset playoff caliber. That's what we're trying to do. That's 27 00:01:35,508 --> 00:01:37,908 Speaker 1: what coach mcgramott preaches, and that's what you know. Our 28 00:01:37,948 --> 00:01:40,068 Speaker 1: mindset mentality is every time we step in our facility 29 00:01:40,148 --> 00:01:42,428 Speaker 1: is what can we do to allow ourselves the opportunity 30 00:01:42,468 --> 00:01:45,188 Speaker 1: to go one to know this week, that was in 31 00:01:45,268 --> 00:01:49,028 Speaker 1: season form for Kyle reading that highlight, it was so beautiful. 32 00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:52,988 Speaker 1: Football's back the Bills. They're on point. They came to 33 00:01:53,068 --> 00:01:55,828 Speaker 1: play last night in Los Angeles. We've got takeaways from 34 00:01:55,868 --> 00:01:58,308 Speaker 1: this huge win at Sofi Stadium for the Buffalo Bills 35 00:01:58,388 --> 00:02:00,388 Speaker 1: to kick off the twenty twenty two season. You guys, 36 00:02:00,388 --> 00:02:02,268 Speaker 1: we have these sheets in front of us. The stats 37 00:02:02,308 --> 00:02:05,908 Speaker 1: are resounding, but the feet, the feel from the game 38 00:02:05,988 --> 00:02:07,628 Speaker 1: was really what you took away from a Peter Yeah, 39 00:02:07,668 --> 00:02:09,948 Speaker 1: that's my big big takeaway, Jamie, is that like it 40 00:02:09,988 --> 00:02:11,708 Speaker 1: looks like the Bills belong. We had a lot of 41 00:02:11,788 --> 00:02:14,628 Speaker 1: questions throughout the last few weeks, like we're getting all 42 00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,948 Speaker 1: this hype, they're crowning the Bills, but have they earned it, 43 00:02:17,028 --> 00:02:19,148 Speaker 1: whether they've earned it in the playoffs or not. They 44 00:02:19,268 --> 00:02:23,028 Speaker 1: looked the part and their swagger last night in Sofi 45 00:02:23,108 --> 00:02:27,148 Speaker 1: Stadium as Jay Balvin's performing and we're to Nach's out 46 00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:30,388 Speaker 1: there with the national anthem and we're lifting the banners 47 00:02:30,388 --> 00:02:32,548 Speaker 1: and we're doing all that. Odell is out there. Then 48 00:02:32,588 --> 00:02:36,108 Speaker 1: you get Jordan Philips back in the lineup. Peace Bookie 49 00:02:36,148 --> 00:02:39,988 Speaker 1: Bashroom is making plays, They're knocking balls around. Let's go. 50 00:02:40,228 --> 00:02:43,468 Speaker 1: This is in the defending champions building parting you watched 51 00:02:43,468 --> 00:02:45,588 Speaker 1: this game, it looked like you were talking about a 52 00:02:45,668 --> 00:02:48,268 Speaker 1: team that had already been crowned something and another team 53 00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:49,748 Speaker 1: that was just trying to fight to stay on the field. 54 00:02:49,748 --> 00:02:51,788 Speaker 1: It said ten ten at halftime. It feels like that 55 00:02:51,828 --> 00:02:54,108 Speaker 1: thing could have been thirty one ten at half, and 56 00:02:54,148 --> 00:02:55,708 Speaker 1: then it was thirty one ten at the end of 57 00:02:55,708 --> 00:02:57,228 Speaker 1: the game. They didn't give up another point. We can 58 00:02:57,228 --> 00:02:58,868 Speaker 1: go through the stats, Jamie. I mean, they didn't punt 59 00:02:58,948 --> 00:03:01,148 Speaker 1: last night. Sam Martin signed last week, never got in 60 00:03:01,188 --> 00:03:03,388 Speaker 1: the field. They went nine of ten on third downs, 61 00:03:03,388 --> 00:03:06,348 Speaker 1: on offense, and every single time Stafford went back he 62 00:03:06,428 --> 00:03:08,908 Speaker 1: was pressured. Seven times he was sacked. And not only 63 00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:11,108 Speaker 1: did they dominate on the field, they looked the part 64 00:03:11,148 --> 00:03:14,348 Speaker 1: They came off the bus ready, they danced, they partied. 65 00:03:14,548 --> 00:03:17,148 Speaker 1: It's only week one, but I'm already thinking did I 66 00:03:17,148 --> 00:03:19,468 Speaker 1: make the wrong Super Bowl choice? Going and zagging from 67 00:03:19,468 --> 00:03:22,628 Speaker 1: the Bills. It looked that dominant and the Rams look listless. 68 00:03:22,628 --> 00:03:23,908 Speaker 1: The Rams are not a bad team. I think a 69 00:03:23,908 --> 00:03:25,548 Speaker 1: lot of teams are going to look listless against that 70 00:03:25,548 --> 00:03:28,428 Speaker 1: Bills team. And they were the complete squad last night. 71 00:03:28,428 --> 00:03:31,548 Speaker 1: And I am humbled by watching that team out and 72 00:03:31,588 --> 00:03:34,388 Speaker 1: you talked about swag, and you showed those defensive linemen 73 00:03:34,588 --> 00:03:37,628 Speaker 1: getting after Stafford, dancing, doing all of those things. What 74 00:03:37,748 --> 00:03:40,948 Speaker 1: allows that sometimes is the secondary play. And we talked 75 00:03:40,948 --> 00:03:43,228 Speaker 1: about leading up to the game, Dane Jackson's gonna be 76 00:03:43,308 --> 00:03:46,068 Speaker 1: starting out there, kayer Eland, but Christian Befford got to start. 77 00:03:46,148 --> 00:03:48,428 Speaker 1: But they had young rookies out there. But the way 78 00:03:48,468 --> 00:03:50,388 Speaker 1: they played. When you watch a game and you didn't 79 00:03:50,428 --> 00:03:54,108 Speaker 1: hear Collinsworth, you didn't hear Tariko talking about, oh, Christian 80 00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:57,028 Speaker 1: Beneford on that play, he has to do that. He 81 00:03:57,068 --> 00:04:00,268 Speaker 1: should be here Kaye. No, those guys were steady the 82 00:04:00,428 --> 00:04:02,948 Speaker 1: entire game. As a dB, sometimes when you don't hear 83 00:04:02,988 --> 00:04:05,228 Speaker 1: your name throughout the game, it's because you're out there 84 00:04:05,228 --> 00:04:08,108 Speaker 1: just doing your job, play in and play out. And 85 00:04:08,188 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 1: for me watching these young corners and then Bill Secondary 86 00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:14,108 Speaker 1: Dane Jackson coming up with a big interception for them 87 00:04:14,108 --> 00:04:16,988 Speaker 1: on Deefenesse. These guys played their butts all and we 88 00:04:17,028 --> 00:04:19,108 Speaker 1: all talked about Bed for getting to start over the 89 00:04:19,148 --> 00:04:22,188 Speaker 1: first rounder. Sometimes it depends upon the scheme you're going 90 00:04:21,788 --> 00:04:24,548 Speaker 1: to can your alam coming from a man to man scheme. 91 00:04:24,788 --> 00:04:27,268 Speaker 1: The Buffalo played a ton of zone. They didn't blitz, 92 00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:31,468 Speaker 1: not one time. A ton of sacks danced around, had 93 00:04:31,508 --> 00:04:34,948 Speaker 1: a great time. That Bill Secondary looked really good compared 94 00:04:34,988 --> 00:04:37,148 Speaker 1: to the ramp Secondary looked like on the other side. 95 00:04:37,388 --> 00:04:40,108 Speaker 1: But Brian Dayball leaving. This is just all gonna fall apart. 96 00:04:40,188 --> 00:04:42,628 Speaker 1: Remember remember when we start about that the Bills they 97 00:04:42,668 --> 00:04:46,748 Speaker 1: couldn't possibly handle these expectations and so far and the 98 00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:52,188 Speaker 1: Banner McVeigh has never lost an opener. Those young corners, Jason, 99 00:04:52,188 --> 00:04:54,588 Speaker 1: they're just gonna get picked apart. And now they torched them. 100 00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:56,748 Speaker 1: Not only do they not punt, it's a second time 101 00:04:56,748 --> 00:04:59,228 Speaker 1: in three games. The Bills as true all right, like 102 00:04:59,268 --> 00:05:02,228 Speaker 1: they don't really punt. And here's the thing, what is 103 00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:03,908 Speaker 1: the cross section? That's how good they are as a 104 00:05:03,948 --> 00:05:06,348 Speaker 1: team as what is the cross section between a team 105 00:05:06,348 --> 00:05:09,308 Speaker 1: that has four turnovers which they did and wins by 106 00:05:09,508 --> 00:05:12,108 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. It's very difficult to do that. You have 107 00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:14,868 Speaker 1: to be amazing as an organization to do that. They 108 00:05:14,868 --> 00:05:17,108 Speaker 1: didn't play a great game. There was a lot of mistakes. 109 00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,268 Speaker 1: There was messy there's a stupid fumble by the rookie 110 00:05:19,388 --> 00:05:21,508 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Threw one bad pass all night. It was 111 00:05:21,508 --> 00:05:23,708 Speaker 1: picked off over the middle, Peter. This was not the 112 00:05:23,708 --> 00:05:26,548 Speaker 1: warm up game against the Jets. This is the World champs. 113 00:05:26,548 --> 00:05:29,308 Speaker 1: And Donald was there and McVeigh was there. They're all there, 114 00:05:29,428 --> 00:05:31,828 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is there. And they torched them in the 115 00:05:31,868 --> 00:05:34,148 Speaker 1: second half like it was like, stop the fight, throw 116 00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:36,828 Speaker 1: the towel. If you were worried that the Bills are 117 00:05:36,868 --> 00:05:39,028 Speaker 1: not going to live up the expectation or don't belong 118 00:05:39,228 --> 00:05:40,948 Speaker 1: or they suddenly it gets too big for them, I 119 00:05:40,988 --> 00:05:43,788 Speaker 1: would say a very popular phrase these days, don't worry, darling, 120 00:05:44,068 --> 00:05:45,868 Speaker 1: we are going to be good. I don't know if 121 00:05:45,868 --> 00:05:47,948 Speaker 1: they're one of the Super Bowl or not, but oh 122 00:05:47,988 --> 00:05:49,708 Speaker 1: my god, this we got a juggernaut. You know, they 123 00:05:49,748 --> 00:05:52,668 Speaker 1: lost to Pittsburgh week one last year the Jaguars in 124 00:05:52,668 --> 00:05:54,468 Speaker 1: a weird game, like do you think they got that 125 00:05:54,468 --> 00:05:56,308 Speaker 1: out of their system? Last night was something different. It 126 00:05:56,428 --> 00:06:00,588 Speaker 1: was spectacular and again Josh Allen afterwards locked in there's 127 00:06:00,628 --> 00:06:03,668 Speaker 1: no look, I'm the man. Yeah, just gonna win a game. 128 00:06:03,868 --> 00:06:05,548 Speaker 1: That is how he rolls all year. I was so 129 00:06:05,668 --> 00:06:07,828 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you brought up Brian Dable because credits 130 00:06:07,828 --> 00:06:11,108 Speaker 1: to Ken Dorsey for having the humility on a stage 131 00:06:11,148 --> 00:06:13,388 Speaker 1: like that in Week one to not make it seem 132 00:06:13,388 --> 00:06:15,268 Speaker 1: like this is my offense now, I want to put 133 00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:17,508 Speaker 1: my thumb print on this. You have twenty games to 134 00:06:17,588 --> 00:06:21,148 Speaker 1: do that, sir. On the back end in late February weekend, 135 00:06:21,228 --> 00:06:24,348 Speaker 1: regale you with stories about how you implemented something that 136 00:06:24,428 --> 00:06:26,828 Speaker 1: was special that made it a Ken Dorsey offense, not 137 00:06:26,908 --> 00:06:29,148 Speaker 1: a Brian Dable two point zero offense. He didn't have 138 00:06:29,148 --> 00:06:30,548 Speaker 1: to do it in Week one, and he didn't. The 139 00:06:30,588 --> 00:06:34,228 Speaker 1: play calling I think was spectacular. The execution by Josh 140 00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:37,108 Speaker 1: Allen with his wide receivers was unbelievable. I'm sorry, this 141 00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:40,428 Speaker 1: isn't hit numbers. This was to drop a ball in 142 00:06:40,428 --> 00:06:45,428 Speaker 1: in a such particular spot. At times it was unbelievable 143 00:06:45,628 --> 00:06:47,948 Speaker 1: point guard play. And then I got to check some 144 00:06:48,028 --> 00:06:49,988 Speaker 1: of the Bills wide receivers because were they put an 145 00:06:49,988 --> 00:06:52,988 Speaker 1: olive oil on their jerseys and their arms because these 146 00:06:53,708 --> 00:06:57,028 Speaker 1: cornerbacks and the safeties for the Rams were sliding off 147 00:06:57,028 --> 00:07:00,588 Speaker 1: of the past catchers. It was buffalo wing sauce and 148 00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:03,428 Speaker 1: it was slippery, and it just Stefon Diggs catch a 149 00:07:03,468 --> 00:07:07,628 Speaker 1: ball spin moved three guys with extra couple of yards. 150 00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:10,748 Speaker 1: Every time I tweeted this jip, that was people just 151 00:07:10,828 --> 00:07:12,868 Speaker 1: going through a fence post and it was just like, 152 00:07:13,068 --> 00:07:14,748 Speaker 1: that is what the Bills look like to me last night, 153 00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:18,428 Speaker 1: just constant head forward. This is gonna be their whole season, 154 00:07:18,748 --> 00:07:21,828 Speaker 1: just straight through and that's just that was their whole 155 00:07:21,868 --> 00:07:24,148 Speaker 1: mentality last night. And I loved it. And it's funny 156 00:07:24,188 --> 00:07:27,108 Speaker 1: you mentioned just sliding through tackles. The Rams don't play 157 00:07:27,108 --> 00:07:30,348 Speaker 1: anybody in the preseason. You don't tackle in practice, so 158 00:07:30,388 --> 00:07:32,108 Speaker 1: when you get out there in Game one, there's already 159 00:07:32,108 --> 00:07:34,508 Speaker 1: gonna be a ton of miss tackles because guys haven't 160 00:07:34,548 --> 00:07:36,388 Speaker 1: done it for four quarters. But when you get out 161 00:07:36,428 --> 00:07:39,428 Speaker 1: there and you haven't tackled anybody since February, and the 162 00:07:39,508 --> 00:07:41,828 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is gonna be a lot of old slipping, 163 00:07:41,868 --> 00:07:43,828 Speaker 1: all of miss tackles. All one team looked like they 164 00:07:43,828 --> 00:07:46,828 Speaker 1: played in preseason. Yeah, and just look one last head 165 00:07:46,868 --> 00:07:49,068 Speaker 1: like the Vontom Miller thing was crazy, was so good, 166 00:07:50,028 --> 00:07:52,468 Speaker 1: so gooked like he was twenty four years old, totally 167 00:07:52,508 --> 00:07:56,468 Speaker 1: refreshed fast to is like slow, like he like well 168 00:07:56,468 --> 00:07:58,828 Speaker 1: Sacket's old friend Stafford. It it's like that. It's a 169 00:07:58,948 --> 00:08:00,988 Speaker 1: very cool like you're gonna see it a lot another person, 170 00:08:00,988 --> 00:08:02,988 Speaker 1: We're gonna see a lot of season. Ian Rappaport, We're 171 00:08:02,988 --> 00:08:05,708 Speaker 1: gonna check in now they're enfal nowhere Insider. We saw 172 00:08:05,748 --> 00:08:08,348 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald get his first sack of the season in 173 00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:11,028 Speaker 1: a losing effort for the Rams last night. It was 174 00:08:11,068 --> 00:08:14,108 Speaker 1: impressive in that one moment, but there was a moment 175 00:08:14,148 --> 00:08:16,628 Speaker 1: also in the off season that this star player was 176 00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,268 Speaker 1: close to hanging it up. Tell us how close he was. 177 00:08:19,468 --> 00:08:23,188 Speaker 1: Fascinating situation surrounding Aaron Donald this entire offseason, right, we 178 00:08:23,188 --> 00:08:25,148 Speaker 1: saw him on the field last night looking as dominant 179 00:08:25,188 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 1: self one. Sacket, of course, was one of the big 180 00:08:27,228 --> 00:08:29,948 Speaker 1: stories of the off season, ending up with the three year, 181 00:08:30,108 --> 00:08:32,948 Speaker 1: ninety five million dollars new contract with a forty million 182 00:08:32,948 --> 00:08:36,828 Speaker 1: dollar raise. But how he got here is simply eye opening. 183 00:08:36,908 --> 00:08:40,068 Speaker 1: My understanding is when talk stalled, and of course, you know, 184 00:08:40,108 --> 00:08:42,708 Speaker 1: we heard the rumors of potential retirement really from the 185 00:08:42,708 --> 00:08:45,668 Speaker 1: Super Bowl on. So when talk stalled in May, his 186 00:08:45,788 --> 00:08:49,348 Speaker 1: agent Todd France, sent a letter to the RAMS saying 187 00:08:49,348 --> 00:08:52,828 Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald had decided to retire. The instructions were 188 00:08:52,908 --> 00:08:55,508 Speaker 1: very simple, turn it into the league, and he has done. 189 00:08:55,508 --> 00:08:58,468 Speaker 1: He's accomplished everything he needed to accomplish. Multi year Pro 190 00:08:58,508 --> 00:09:01,468 Speaker 1: Bowl or multi year All Pro, three time Defensive Player 191 00:09:01,468 --> 00:09:03,988 Speaker 1: of the Year, nearly thirty years old, made so much money, 192 00:09:04,068 --> 00:09:06,868 Speaker 1: hit up. He had simply arrived at peace and he 193 00:09:06,948 --> 00:09:09,388 Speaker 1: was done. The RAMS said, okay, we understand, we want 194 00:09:09,428 --> 00:09:11,548 Speaker 1: to honor you. Let's talk about that. Let's just wait 195 00:09:11,548 --> 00:09:13,908 Speaker 1: a day. Maybe we'll talk tomorrow. We'll see what happens. 196 00:09:13,948 --> 00:09:16,428 Speaker 1: The two sides talked again the next day, and then 197 00:09:16,468 --> 00:09:18,708 Speaker 1: the next day, and then talks for a little encouraging 198 00:09:18,748 --> 00:09:20,588 Speaker 1: and they're like, you know what, maybe we can end 199 00:09:20,668 --> 00:09:23,708 Speaker 1: up doing this new deal. And June sixth, the deal 200 00:09:23,788 --> 00:09:26,708 Speaker 1: came together and he got his huge, huge, new contract, 201 00:09:26,788 --> 00:09:30,068 Speaker 1: but man Aaron Donald was very very close to hanging 202 00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,788 Speaker 1: it up for good this offseason. Ian Rapport, thank you 203 00:09:32,828 --> 00:09:35,188 Speaker 1: so much. Interesting to offset that with what we saw 204 00:09:35,268 --> 00:09:37,668 Speaker 1: last night with the La Rams. Appreciate you all right. 205 00:09:37,828 --> 00:09:41,068 Speaker 1: Time for Mad Minute, presented by Draft King sports Book 206 00:09:41,068 --> 00:09:43,188 Speaker 1: Week one officially kicked off last night, and we've got 207 00:09:43,188 --> 00:09:45,388 Speaker 1: a great slate of games coming up on Sunday, so 208 00:09:45,428 --> 00:09:47,588 Speaker 1: we're going to break down some of the best matchups. 209 00:09:47,668 --> 00:09:50,268 Speaker 1: We will have sixty seconds on the clock to break 210 00:09:50,308 --> 00:09:52,588 Speaker 1: down what we are most excited for in each game. 211 00:09:52,668 --> 00:09:55,188 Speaker 1: So we're gonna start in the NFC South, the divisional 212 00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:58,788 Speaker 1: showdown between the Saints and the Falcons in Atlanta. What 213 00:09:58,828 --> 00:10:01,508 Speaker 1: are we looking for in this game? Number particular? All right, 214 00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:04,308 Speaker 1: Jamis versus Mariota. This is the first and second pick 215 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:06,668 Speaker 1: of a draft several years ago. There now on new 216 00:10:06,748 --> 00:10:09,508 Speaker 1: teams and for Mariota's sake, the third team. Very curiously, 217 00:10:09,548 --> 00:10:12,028 Speaker 1: what we get from Marcus Mariotte here Arthur Smith put 218 00:10:12,068 --> 00:10:14,468 Speaker 1: his eggs in the Mariota basket, knowing him from Tennessee. 219 00:10:14,508 --> 00:10:16,348 Speaker 1: I remember we have these visions of this guy won 220 00:10:16,348 --> 00:10:17,868 Speaker 1: a playoff game in Kansas City. A couple of years 221 00:10:17,908 --> 00:10:20,548 Speaker 1: ago can still move, and I think he's gonna be very, 222 00:10:20,708 --> 00:10:23,428 Speaker 1: very very tempted to do an upset special here against 223 00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:25,708 Speaker 1: the Saints, especially at home. The Falcons I consider one 224 00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:27,788 Speaker 1: of the nobody loves us group. I don't think see 225 00:10:27,788 --> 00:10:29,668 Speaker 1: a single person who picked them to make the playoffs 226 00:10:29,668 --> 00:10:31,868 Speaker 1: as a wildcard or otherwise. And I'm trying a social 227 00:10:31,868 --> 00:10:34,348 Speaker 1: experiment this week. I'm picking all of them as underdogs. 228 00:10:34,348 --> 00:10:36,988 Speaker 1: I think this game I got the Falcons went home 229 00:10:36,988 --> 00:10:38,668 Speaker 1: all right. Speaking of teams that no one's picking, how 230 00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:41,548 Speaker 1: about the Cleveland Browns. They had to Charlotte to take 231 00:10:41,588 --> 00:10:44,348 Speaker 1: on the Panthers in the highly anticipated in Baker Mayfield 232 00:10:44,388 --> 00:10:48,428 Speaker 1: revenge game in Carolina. Deshaun Watson's not on the other sideline, Kyle, 233 00:10:48,468 --> 00:10:50,108 Speaker 1: what do you got mad? Minute? Let's go. The Cleveland 234 00:10:50,148 --> 00:10:52,148 Speaker 1: Browns will need to win this game. As an organization, 235 00:10:52,188 --> 00:10:53,948 Speaker 1: as a city, as a fan base, as everything. I 236 00:10:53,988 --> 00:10:55,268 Speaker 1: think it is one of the most I think it 237 00:10:55,348 --> 00:10:58,348 Speaker 1: is a top three most important Cleveland Browns game of 238 00:10:58,388 --> 00:11:00,228 Speaker 1: this decade. The other there are two playoff games, and 239 00:11:00,268 --> 00:11:02,228 Speaker 1: guess who started those playoff games for the Cleveland Browns. 240 00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:04,908 Speaker 1: The Panthers quarterback don't let Baker Mayfield throw five touchdowns 241 00:11:04,908 --> 00:11:06,708 Speaker 1: on you and say what he's gonna say after the game, Cleveland, 242 00:11:06,748 --> 00:11:08,388 Speaker 1: you need this one without a doubt. He said he's 243 00:11:08,428 --> 00:11:10,868 Speaker 1: off the leash. Myles Garrett needs to grab that leash 244 00:11:10,908 --> 00:11:12,988 Speaker 1: and put it back on him because this is the 245 00:11:13,028 --> 00:11:14,748 Speaker 1: type of game that you just said, he's gonna be 246 00:11:14,788 --> 00:11:17,268 Speaker 1: fired up. But Ken your Kobe Prisette coming there and 247 00:11:17,388 --> 00:11:20,828 Speaker 1: ruin the whole Baker Mayfield headline and go out there 248 00:11:20,908 --> 00:11:23,068 Speaker 1: and get a win for the Cleveland Bryann. So let's 249 00:11:23,068 --> 00:11:25,468 Speaker 1: see Christian McCaffrey. What is happening? There was like a 250 00:11:25,508 --> 00:11:29,068 Speaker 1: shin tweet yesterday he got cut on the shin by 251 00:11:29,148 --> 00:11:31,948 Speaker 1: a teammate. But for a second, I thought shin issue, 252 00:11:32,148 --> 00:11:34,028 Speaker 1: and I thought I'm one, Hey, he is not my 253 00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:36,348 Speaker 1: fantasy team. I know everyone almost pulled their hair out 254 00:11:36,388 --> 00:11:38,828 Speaker 1: yesterday when they saw anything related to Christian McAffrey and 255 00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:41,028 Speaker 1: did not practice heading into Eave one. But he's all good, 256 00:11:41,228 --> 00:11:43,708 Speaker 1: and I just need him to be Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, 257 00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:45,748 Speaker 1: I read it was just it was a cut, but 258 00:11:47,468 --> 00:11:50,108 Speaker 1: panic can sue. I swear everything will be fine. Yeah, 259 00:11:50,108 --> 00:11:52,828 Speaker 1: Eagles are headed to the Motor City to take on 260 00:11:52,908 --> 00:11:55,348 Speaker 1: the line what intreagues you in this game? Peter, what 261 00:11:55,428 --> 00:11:57,908 Speaker 1: you got? Douce staleyball du gets to go. I guess 262 00:11:58,028 --> 00:12:00,628 Speaker 1: now that's a good like seven storyline. The truth of 263 00:12:00,628 --> 00:12:03,148 Speaker 1: the matter is a lot of hype on Eagles. Let's 264 00:12:03,188 --> 00:12:05,348 Speaker 1: see if they can actually deliver, especially with aj Brown 265 00:12:05,428 --> 00:12:08,068 Speaker 1: and Jalen heard so much about their friendship and how 266 00:12:08,108 --> 00:12:10,268 Speaker 1: they've been to each other's kid's birthday parties. Okay, well 267 00:12:10,308 --> 00:12:12,348 Speaker 1: now we need to actually do it. And this defensive 268 00:12:12,508 --> 00:12:15,388 Speaker 1: backfield for the Detroit Lions, they they're not famous necessarily, 269 00:12:15,428 --> 00:12:17,668 Speaker 1: it's a lot of internal confidence that they can do 270 00:12:17,708 --> 00:12:19,868 Speaker 1: some things in this game. Rookie Defensive Player of the 271 00:12:19,908 --> 00:12:22,708 Speaker 1: Year Aiden Hutchinson, this is his debut. He was real 272 00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,628 Speaker 1: nice in preseason, but as James Cook found out last night, 273 00:12:25,628 --> 00:12:27,548 Speaker 1: they hit a little harder in the NFL in Week one. 274 00:12:27,628 --> 00:12:30,028 Speaker 1: So Aidan Hutchinson, you got this man. It's my two 275 00:12:30,148 --> 00:12:33,668 Speaker 1: favorite head coaches in Week one. I love Serrianni and 276 00:12:33,708 --> 00:12:35,508 Speaker 1: I love Campbell. I hate that one of these guys 277 00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:37,948 Speaker 1: is gonna lose because they're gonna be so upset about it. 278 00:12:38,028 --> 00:12:40,268 Speaker 1: First team all miked up on the sideline. I want 279 00:12:40,308 --> 00:12:43,268 Speaker 1: some major NFL films miked up packages after this. Never 280 00:12:43,268 --> 00:12:45,268 Speaker 1: mind the players for a second. Two most entertaining head 281 00:12:45,268 --> 00:12:46,788 Speaker 1: coaches in the league right now, just tune indus to 282 00:12:46,868 --> 00:12:50,948 Speaker 1: watch those two guys. Meanwhile, guys, AFC North, Yes, no 283 00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:55,468 Speaker 1: hesitation to start the schedule. Steelers Bengals battle in Cincinnati 284 00:12:55,548 --> 00:12:59,388 Speaker 1: right now. What has you excited about Pittsburgh versus Cincinnati? 285 00:12:59,428 --> 00:13:01,308 Speaker 1: P Schrod What do they say like this game has 286 00:13:01,308 --> 00:13:05,268 Speaker 1: no chill? Like can we eat? Can ease even to 287 00:13:05,588 --> 00:13:10,268 Speaker 1: Steelers Bengals week ones? Seriously, Bengals, everyone on the Bengals 288 00:13:10,308 --> 00:13:12,468 Speaker 1: train right now, and like Steelers last year went in 289 00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:14,788 Speaker 1: and beat Buffalo Week one. I know that this is 290 00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:17,988 Speaker 1: a big question market quarterback, but it's a divisional round game, 291 00:13:18,108 --> 00:13:21,268 Speaker 1: her divisional matchup, and gosh, like, I'm very curious to 292 00:13:21,308 --> 00:13:23,308 Speaker 1: see how both these teams come out here. Bengals a 293 00:13:23,348 --> 00:13:24,788 Speaker 1: lot of hype. I gotta live up to it now. 294 00:13:25,348 --> 00:13:27,588 Speaker 1: Like you said, there's some quarterback questions in Pittsburgh, but 295 00:13:27,708 --> 00:13:30,588 Speaker 1: not in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow is the guy my fellow 296 00:13:30,588 --> 00:13:33,908 Speaker 1: brother who lost his appendix this presect. I am with you. 297 00:13:33,988 --> 00:13:37,188 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see Joe Burrow back on the field, 298 00:13:37,268 --> 00:13:39,868 Speaker 1: playing in the game getting the ball to those weapons 299 00:13:39,948 --> 00:13:42,468 Speaker 1: all over the field. I want to see what Cincinnati 300 00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:44,308 Speaker 1: has to do. It doesn't matter who's playing quarterback for 301 00:13:44,348 --> 00:13:46,828 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. If you have Naji Harris coming out 302 00:13:46,868 --> 00:13:49,388 Speaker 1: of the backfield, I think that will steady things for 303 00:13:49,428 --> 00:13:52,108 Speaker 1: the Steelers offense. Plus George Pickins, we'll see if he 304 00:13:52,148 --> 00:13:54,628 Speaker 1: can be a star. I think anyone who's under center 305 00:13:54,748 --> 00:13:56,788 Speaker 1: is fine for the Steelers. It's who they're throwing to 306 00:13:56,908 --> 00:13:59,308 Speaker 1: and who there hand the ball off. All right. Finally, 307 00:13:59,348 --> 00:14:02,668 Speaker 1: another divisional matchup going down in Miami between the Patriots, 308 00:14:02,668 --> 00:14:04,068 Speaker 1: who have been there for a month and the Dolphins. 309 00:14:04,428 --> 00:14:06,708 Speaker 1: What are you looking for in this game, Jason beside 310 00:14:06,708 --> 00:14:09,028 Speaker 1: your brother, Yeah for me. The New England pages have 311 00:14:09,068 --> 00:14:11,748 Speaker 1: a lot of old guys. Devin McCarty's thirty five, Matthew 312 00:14:11,748 --> 00:14:14,268 Speaker 1: Slader's thirty six. Nick Folk is like thirty eight. I 313 00:14:14,348 --> 00:14:16,308 Speaker 1: want to super these old guys. Can do they spent 314 00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:19,268 Speaker 1: a week down in Miami, Well they adjust to the heat. 315 00:14:19,388 --> 00:14:21,788 Speaker 1: Are they able to come out with a victory down 316 00:14:21,868 --> 00:14:23,868 Speaker 1: in South Florida? Sometimes old people thrive when they go 317 00:14:23,988 --> 00:14:28,748 Speaker 1: Oh they can freaky and they just retire. One of 318 00:14:28,788 --> 00:14:32,628 Speaker 1: the few remaining Bugaboos, and Bill Belichick's coaching career is Miami. 319 00:14:32,948 --> 00:14:35,388 Speaker 1: It's a terrible history, so much show that I think 320 00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:36,988 Speaker 1: they've been there for about six weeks to try to 321 00:14:37,068 --> 00:14:39,388 Speaker 1: like solve this and get the bad juju out. I 322 00:14:39,428 --> 00:14:40,868 Speaker 1: like Miami and an upset in this one. I don't 323 00:14:40,868 --> 00:14:43,628 Speaker 1: even up. Actually, I think their favorite. I'll double down that. 324 00:14:43,708 --> 00:14:46,388 Speaker 1: I like Miami by double digits. Actually, like you do. 325 00:14:46,548 --> 00:14:49,748 Speaker 1: I feel like everyone has gone so far against the Patriots. 326 00:14:50,068 --> 00:14:52,388 Speaker 1: Belichick is like, how could he be owing three against two? 327 00:14:52,388 --> 00:14:55,908 Speaker 1: A toungua violoa, Belichick, that's a fact. You cannot beat two. 328 00:14:56,028 --> 00:14:58,028 Speaker 1: It's like, let me get the offseason, let me prepare. 329 00:14:58,148 --> 00:15:00,548 Speaker 1: Everyone is freaking out about the offense. Just be efficient, 330 00:15:00,588 --> 00:15:02,228 Speaker 1: you know what. Mac Jones can get the job done. 331 00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:03,948 Speaker 1: I like the Patriots in this one. I wouldn't run 332 00:15:03,948 --> 00:15:06,508 Speaker 1: from the in this game just yet. Coming up Cowboys, 333 00:15:06,508 --> 00:15:11,668 Speaker 1: But Sunday Night Football that is absolutely musty TV plus 334 00:15:12,868 --> 00:15:14,388 Speaker 1: are We're still going to talk one more time about 335 00:15:14,468 --> 00:15:16,508 Speaker 1: Lamar jackson contract and he says he's not going to 336 00:15:16,548 --> 00:15:18,548 Speaker 1: discuss it in the season. Lamar, the season is in 337 00:15:18,628 --> 00:15:20,388 Speaker 1: less than forty eight hours. We got to get into 338 00:15:20,428 --> 00:15:23,148 Speaker 1: this thing. A few more questions, Nack, Peter, there's five 339 00:15:23,308 --> 00:15:40,468 Speaker 1: burning questions after this at twenty twenty two. NFL season 340 00:15:40,508 --> 00:15:44,028 Speaker 1: officially kicked off last night, and yet I still have 341 00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:46,508 Speaker 1: some burning questions for the games that haven't been played. 342 00:15:46,788 --> 00:15:51,668 Speaker 1: Five burning questions. Number five. Let's go out to LA 343 00:15:51,748 --> 00:15:53,668 Speaker 1: where the game was played last night, and I might 344 00:15:53,668 --> 00:15:55,308 Speaker 1: have some question about the Rams this morning, but I 345 00:15:55,348 --> 00:15:57,628 Speaker 1: also have some questions about the Chargers, and that's whether 346 00:15:57,668 --> 00:16:00,708 Speaker 1: the Bolts can actually live up to the hype. Guys, 347 00:16:00,748 --> 00:16:04,028 Speaker 1: the Chargers are loaded everywhere. Their quarterback might be the 348 00:16:04,108 --> 00:16:06,548 Speaker 1: MT key. You look at every position on the depth chart, 349 00:16:06,788 --> 00:16:11,268 Speaker 1: and they've got a superstar. And yet can they live 350 00:16:11,348 --> 00:16:13,548 Speaker 1: up to that? Take a look at what happened at 351 00:16:13,548 --> 00:16:16,388 Speaker 1: our NFL media world. Here we have an NFL dot Com, 352 00:16:16,468 --> 00:16:19,868 Speaker 1: we've got an NFL network. We asked everybody who's going 353 00:16:19,908 --> 00:16:22,068 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. The Bills were the overwhelming favorite, 354 00:16:22,068 --> 00:16:26,108 Speaker 1: and they showed the part. The second most picked team 355 00:16:26,188 --> 00:16:29,068 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl this year by our colleagues 356 00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:33,068 Speaker 1: are the Chargers. Chargers. They make the playoffs last year, 357 00:16:33,588 --> 00:16:36,388 Speaker 1: Charges they make playffs here before that. In fact, Chargers 358 00:16:36,468 --> 00:16:41,188 Speaker 1: last eight seasons missed playoffs, missed playoffs, miss plaffs. They 359 00:16:41,228 --> 00:16:43,428 Speaker 1: made the playoffs and they did pretty well. You're telling 360 00:16:43,468 --> 00:16:45,708 Speaker 1: me that they have missed the playoffs in seven of 361 00:16:45,708 --> 00:16:48,028 Speaker 1: the last eight years, and everyone's just putting their chips 362 00:16:48,028 --> 00:16:50,868 Speaker 1: and on the Chargers saying they're Super Bowl champions. It's 363 00:16:50,908 --> 00:16:53,428 Speaker 1: a lot. It's a lot when you haven't done it before, 364 00:16:53,868 --> 00:16:56,388 Speaker 1: and I think they can do it. That guy is 365 00:16:56,468 --> 00:16:59,548 Speaker 1: that good and this team is that good. Question is 366 00:16:59,588 --> 00:17:02,708 Speaker 1: can they live up to that hype? If the Chargers 367 00:17:02,708 --> 00:17:04,348 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs this year with all that they have 368 00:17:04,628 --> 00:17:06,468 Speaker 1: going on, it is one of the great failures that 369 00:17:06,468 --> 00:17:08,988 Speaker 1: we've seen from a preseason hyped up team in the 370 00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,428 Speaker 1: history of the league. Can't happen again. They've got to 371 00:17:11,468 --> 00:17:14,108 Speaker 1: put the deal together and they've got to get to January. 372 00:17:14,108 --> 00:17:16,988 Speaker 1: All right. Number four, Can Jalen Hurts me a long 373 00:17:17,108 --> 00:17:19,828 Speaker 1: term guy in Philadelphia? I'm back to questioning. All right, 374 00:17:20,188 --> 00:17:22,548 Speaker 1: let me take that proder in this hot segment and 375 00:17:22,668 --> 00:17:26,628 Speaker 1: just kind of poke at people. Jalen Hurts looked apart 376 00:17:26,668 --> 00:17:29,588 Speaker 1: at times last year. Got them to the playoffs? Is 377 00:17:29,628 --> 00:17:32,788 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback? The Eagles did not even entertain a 378 00:17:32,868 --> 00:17:35,708 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. The Eagles didn't even entertain one of these 379 00:17:35,708 --> 00:17:38,428 Speaker 1: free agent quarterbacks. They didn't go after Matt Ryan, they 380 00:17:38,468 --> 00:17:41,348 Speaker 1: weren't in the Mariota the hunt. They didn't look at 381 00:17:41,348 --> 00:17:44,268 Speaker 1: any of them. They were like, he's our guy, but 382 00:17:44,388 --> 00:17:48,908 Speaker 1: he's on a second round contract, still in his rookie deal, 383 00:17:49,588 --> 00:17:51,668 Speaker 1: and you look at it, they've got two first round 384 00:17:51,708 --> 00:17:54,108 Speaker 1: picks next year. Jalen Hurts is a chance to be 385 00:17:54,188 --> 00:17:57,228 Speaker 1: undeniable this season. If the Eagles fulfill the expectations and 386 00:17:57,308 --> 00:17:59,228 Speaker 1: take care of the NFC East and get into maybe 387 00:17:59,228 --> 00:18:01,388 Speaker 1: the Divisional round, or even if they look good in 388 00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:03,868 Speaker 1: the wild card round, it's enough for Eagles fans, and 389 00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:05,708 Speaker 1: the Eagles asked to be like, we got our guy. 390 00:18:05,868 --> 00:18:08,588 Speaker 1: But there is a good young crop of quarterbacks coming 391 00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:10,388 Speaker 1: out of the college game. They are going to be 392 00:18:10,468 --> 00:18:14,868 Speaker 1: free agent veteran quarterbacks available in March. Jalen Hurts not 393 00:18:14,948 --> 00:18:18,228 Speaker 1: a slam dunk to be the long term guy in Philadelphia, 394 00:18:18,228 --> 00:18:20,068 Speaker 1: and yet he has a chance to do just that 395 00:18:20,148 --> 00:18:23,348 Speaker 1: this season. Number three, My question, who's gonna be catching 396 00:18:23,348 --> 00:18:25,868 Speaker 1: passes from Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay? We don't know yet. 397 00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:28,988 Speaker 1: In fact, there's a huge emphasis right now that it's 398 00:18:28,988 --> 00:18:30,388 Speaker 1: going to be the running backs and the type some 399 00:18:30,508 --> 00:18:32,228 Speaker 1: receivers have to step up. Take a look at the 400 00:18:32,268 --> 00:18:36,588 Speaker 1: receivers on this team in last year's receiving yards. Lazard thirteen. 401 00:18:36,708 --> 00:18:39,188 Speaker 1: Is he playing on Sunday? We don't know? Three ninety 402 00:18:39,188 --> 00:18:41,868 Speaker 1: four for Sammy Watkins on a different team. Cob of course, 403 00:18:41,988 --> 00:18:44,028 Speaker 1: good underneath guy. Is he gonna be a number one? 404 00:18:44,508 --> 00:18:46,828 Speaker 1: Amari Rodgers the rookie last year of forty five and 405 00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:50,468 Speaker 1: limited action. Then you've got three rookies. They didn't go 406 00:18:50,548 --> 00:18:52,988 Speaker 1: and take a big swing. DeVante Adams left and it 407 00:18:53,028 --> 00:18:55,588 Speaker 1: wasn't like they were rushing to fulfill those yards with 408 00:18:55,628 --> 00:18:58,188 Speaker 1: an individual player. Amari Rodgers going practicing with the running 409 00:18:58,188 --> 00:19:01,068 Speaker 1: backs as the running backs wearing a single digit Amari 410 00:19:01,188 --> 00:19:05,308 Speaker 1: Rodgers very interesting situation took the Packers to go to 411 00:19:05,348 --> 00:19:07,668 Speaker 1: the super boat. Yeah, I think the Packers are gonna 412 00:19:07,708 --> 00:19:10,788 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know how, Like, I don't know 413 00:19:10,868 --> 00:19:13,228 Speaker 1: how they're gonna do it. I just have them because 414 00:19:13,228 --> 00:19:15,628 Speaker 1: of Rogers and Lafleur in the defense. But like at 415 00:19:15,628 --> 00:19:18,588 Speaker 1: some point, Romeo Dobbs has to make a huge play 416 00:19:18,628 --> 00:19:21,188 Speaker 1: on third and seven, and Christian Watson's got to take 417 00:19:21,228 --> 00:19:23,428 Speaker 1: the top off of the NFL corners and say, oh, 418 00:19:23,468 --> 00:19:26,628 Speaker 1: this is our guy. Big question mark here, who's gonna 419 00:19:26,668 --> 00:19:29,628 Speaker 1: be catching passes? And how many? Like is Alan Los 420 00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:31,868 Speaker 1: are gonna have a hundred catches? I'm very fascinated he 421 00:19:31,908 --> 00:19:33,988 Speaker 1: had this plays out Week one. We'll see against the Vikings. 422 00:19:34,348 --> 00:19:37,348 Speaker 1: Number two. What a wait? Tills in New England? Are 423 00:19:37,348 --> 00:19:40,548 Speaker 1: they like going to be bad this year? I don't. 424 00:19:41,428 --> 00:19:42,988 Speaker 1: I've confused. None of us took them to go to 425 00:19:43,028 --> 00:19:45,708 Speaker 1: the playoffs, which is shocking, and they've gone just about 426 00:19:45,708 --> 00:19:49,028 Speaker 1: every other year. But preseason in training camp, there are 427 00:19:49,028 --> 00:19:50,548 Speaker 1: a lot of question marks. I always point to the 428 00:19:50,548 --> 00:19:52,668 Speaker 1: local beat reporters when you got a guy like Mike 429 00:19:52,668 --> 00:19:55,348 Speaker 1: Giardi who's so entrenched there or Tom Curran who's so 430 00:19:55,548 --> 00:19:58,748 Speaker 1: entrenched there, and they're being openly honest and critical about 431 00:19:58,748 --> 00:20:00,708 Speaker 1: things that are going on, and the Patriot coaches have 432 00:20:00,788 --> 00:20:02,948 Speaker 1: to respond to that, like it tells me that it's 433 00:20:02,988 --> 00:20:06,228 Speaker 1: not just made up hysteria, that there actually might be questions. 434 00:20:06,268 --> 00:20:09,148 Speaker 1: Joe Judge, he's now in an offensive role. Patricia's nowt 435 00:20:09,148 --> 00:20:10,708 Speaker 1: of it, like the head to think McDaniel is going 436 00:20:10,748 --> 00:20:14,308 Speaker 1: to leave at some point. The chosen offensive minds are 437 00:20:14,428 --> 00:20:17,548 Speaker 1: Judge in Patricia, two guys who are x NFL head 438 00:20:17,548 --> 00:20:21,428 Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL, like I don't see the Patriots 439 00:20:21,468 --> 00:20:24,748 Speaker 1: going five and twelve, but based on what how we 440 00:20:24,828 --> 00:20:27,348 Speaker 1: talk or like, let's just see how it goes. What's 441 00:20:27,348 --> 00:20:28,828 Speaker 1: going on in New England? How do you beat that? 442 00:20:29,708 --> 00:20:33,748 Speaker 1: Number one is Trey Lance. As we entered this season, 443 00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:35,908 Speaker 1: I cannot wait for this Bears Niners a game. I 444 00:20:35,908 --> 00:20:37,868 Speaker 1: just want to see if, like Trei Lance is good, 445 00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:40,148 Speaker 1: Like I'll see this tray Land is good enough to 446 00:20:40,308 --> 00:20:44,188 Speaker 1: take the forty nine ers further then they went last year, 447 00:20:44,188 --> 00:20:45,588 Speaker 1: because that's all you're in it for. If you're a 448 00:20:45,628 --> 00:20:47,388 Speaker 1: nine Ers player, you're like, are we getting to the 449 00:20:47,388 --> 00:20:49,348 Speaker 1: super Bowl or not. I don't care about Trey Lance's 450 00:20:49,388 --> 00:20:51,988 Speaker 1: development this year, Like I am a veteran and I 451 00:20:52,068 --> 00:20:54,148 Speaker 1: look at this. This is alarming to me. This is 452 00:20:54,268 --> 00:20:56,228 Speaker 1: some of his second year quarterbacks. I went with these 453 00:20:56,308 --> 00:20:57,988 Speaker 1: three because they were the big famous ones. The other 454 00:20:57,988 --> 00:21:01,748 Speaker 1: two from college, right Trevor Lawrence Pros started bes about 455 00:21:01,788 --> 00:21:03,628 Speaker 1: every game last year and then had the college career 456 00:21:03,668 --> 00:21:07,908 Speaker 1: Clemson fifty three career starts. Justin Fields Georgio, Ohio State 457 00:21:07,988 --> 00:21:10,268 Speaker 1: got in midway through the season with the Bears thirty 458 00:21:10,268 --> 00:21:15,228 Speaker 1: two starts between North Dakota State and the Niners. Trey 459 00:21:15,308 --> 00:21:18,388 Speaker 1: Lands only his nineteen career starts and all of college 460 00:21:18,428 --> 00:21:21,068 Speaker 1: and the pros, and he's being handed a super Bowl 461 00:21:21,268 --> 00:21:23,988 Speaker 1: caliber team. Jamie. I love that you picked the Niners 462 00:21:24,028 --> 00:21:25,428 Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl last year. It means 463 00:21:25,428 --> 00:21:27,628 Speaker 1: you've got faith and not only Trey, but how they're 464 00:21:27,628 --> 00:21:31,028 Speaker 1: going to support him. I gotta see it first, right, 465 00:21:31,028 --> 00:21:33,068 Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy to question, like people are 466 00:21:33,108 --> 00:21:35,588 Speaker 1: so sensitive about, Hey, what do you mean he gets 467 00:21:35,588 --> 00:21:37,668 Speaker 1: throw it? He's better than Jimmy, Let's see it. It's 468 00:21:37,668 --> 00:21:39,788 Speaker 1: fair to see it. I want to know if he 469 00:21:39,788 --> 00:21:41,868 Speaker 1: could take them even further than Jimmy. That's asking a lot. 470 00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:43,708 Speaker 1: And yet I see the Niners, not only by you, Jamie, 471 00:21:43,708 --> 00:21:44,828 Speaker 1: but a lot of people being picked out of the 472 00:21:44,908 --> 00:21:48,948 Speaker 1: NFC because they're so darned good everywhere else. All Right, 473 00:21:49,028 --> 00:21:51,188 Speaker 1: I feel like I was loaded with a lot of 474 00:21:51,228 --> 00:21:53,908 Speaker 1: skepticism there. Let's take a look at my questions though, 475 00:21:54,428 --> 00:21:57,348 Speaker 1: Trey Lands good enough? What awaits us in New England? 476 00:21:57,548 --> 00:22:00,668 Speaker 1: Who's catching those passes in Green Bay? Janelin hurts, I'm 477 00:22:00,708 --> 00:22:03,868 Speaker 1: not so sure on and then Chargers five of our 478 00:22:03,908 --> 00:22:06,708 Speaker 1: twenty five colleagues chose the Chargers to hoist a Lombardy. 479 00:22:07,428 --> 00:22:10,028 Speaker 1: They are not a perennial playoff team. I tss to you, guys, 480 00:22:10,068 --> 00:22:11,628 Speaker 1: what do you think? Peter? It made me feel better 481 00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:14,628 Speaker 1: that you have this burning question for your Super Bowl 482 00:22:14,668 --> 00:22:16,788 Speaker 1: team and you say, I have the Packers in there, 483 00:22:16,828 --> 00:22:17,988 Speaker 1: but I don't know how they're gonna do it, because 484 00:22:17,988 --> 00:22:19,708 Speaker 1: that's how I feel about the Party Niners. I'm just like, yeah, 485 00:22:19,748 --> 00:22:21,908 Speaker 1: put them in there. I don't quite know. It's the 486 00:22:22,548 --> 00:22:24,268 Speaker 1: quarterback in Green Bay. You don't know what the other 487 00:22:24,308 --> 00:22:25,948 Speaker 1: options are. You don't know what your option is a 488 00:22:26,028 --> 00:22:27,788 Speaker 1: quarterback for the forty nine ers or what he can be, 489 00:22:28,028 --> 00:22:30,468 Speaker 1: but you do know what his options are. It's very interesting, Juxta, 490 00:22:30,948 --> 00:22:33,908 Speaker 1: And we've done this long enough. There's two very dangerous 491 00:22:33,948 --> 00:22:36,148 Speaker 1: things to say in our business. One I'm out on 492 00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:39,868 Speaker 1: the Patriots and two I believe in the Chargers. Both 493 00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:41,828 Speaker 1: of those can burn you. They just burn you, Peter. 494 00:22:41,868 --> 00:22:44,188 Speaker 1: You're asking them time and time again. People do it 495 00:22:44,228 --> 00:22:47,108 Speaker 1: every single year. Is this the year? And Jason, I 496 00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:50,508 Speaker 1: ask you your brother please for the Patriots you played there? Like, 497 00:22:51,308 --> 00:22:53,988 Speaker 1: is there a bit of maybe amusement up there where 498 00:22:54,028 --> 00:22:56,148 Speaker 1: everyone is saying that this team can't get it done. 499 00:22:56,148 --> 00:22:58,388 Speaker 1: Maybe there's a little quiet confidence going on in that room, 500 00:22:58,508 --> 00:23:00,548 Speaker 1: or is this the year they fall fall off a cliff. 501 00:23:00,588 --> 00:23:03,308 Speaker 1: But it's like it's over without a dollar.

It builds characters. It's nice, it humbles them. 507 00:23:19,348 --> 00:23:22,988 Speaker 1: They're about a thousand questions. We'll get some answers on Sunday. 508 00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:25,388 Speaker 1: I'll say this. I had some questions about how the 509 00:23:25,388 --> 00:23:28,228 Speaker 1: bills are gonna show up.

Now hear me out. I've got the 552 00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:27,268 Speaker 1: Chiefs win in the Super Bowl and their defense being improved. 553 00:25:27,588 --> 00:25:30,988 Speaker 1: I think it's a shootout on Sunday. It says Rondale Moore, 554 00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:33,148 Speaker 1: it should say Hollywood Brown, because I don't know if 555 00:25:33,228 --> 00:25:35,868 Speaker 1: Rondale's gonna go to be honest, all right with Hollywood 556 00:25:36,308 --> 00:25:39,148 Speaker 1: Oh for one, on this segment James Connor and Hollywood Brown. 557 00:25:39,188 --> 00:25:40,908 Speaker 1: We'll get him next to week. We'll get the graphic rights. 558 00:25:40,948 --> 00:25:42,988 Speaker 1: That's why we email on the decks, all right. I 559 00:25:43,028 --> 00:25:45,148 Speaker 1: just want to win. It doesn't matter. I just want 560 00:25:45,188 --> 00:25:48,588 Speaker 1: to win carters with the coins. We've got James Engle's 561 00:25:48,628 --> 00:25:52,108 Speaker 1: pair against Peter's pseudo Cardinals pair. Who Amy, Where would 562 00:25:52,108 --> 00:25:56,228 Speaker 1: you play the coin off games? Food workers there now? 563 00:25:56,308 --> 00:25:58,108 Speaker 1: But I used to go to food workers and those, 564 00:25:58,348 --> 00:26:00,788 Speaker 1: um the race car games. You just sit there like 565 00:26:00,828 --> 00:26:02,868 Speaker 1: I didn't even need a quarter. I could just simulate 566 00:26:02,988 --> 00:26:04,868 Speaker 1: driving and crashing off the side of the road. I'm 567 00:26:04,868 --> 00:26:06,828 Speaker 1: like now that I'm apparent, man, I appreciate a place 568 00:26:06,828 --> 00:26:08,268 Speaker 1: so you could just be like you're locked in, you 569 00:26:08,348 --> 00:26:10,348 Speaker 1: can't go anywhere. I definitely wasn't that kid. I was 570 00:26:10,388 --> 00:26:12,908 Speaker 1: running all over the front workers, all right. Isekiel Elliott 571 00:26:12,908 --> 00:26:15,108 Speaker 1: and Ceedee Lamb. There's no connection you can make between 572 00:26:15,148 --> 00:26:16,588 Speaker 1: the fund workers and those two. So I'm just gonna 573 00:26:16,588 --> 00:26:19,708 Speaker 1: say my answer. This is my duo for the Dallas Cowboys. 574 00:26:19,908 --> 00:26:22,468 Speaker 1: They are going against the Buccaneers. This will be Ceedee 575 00:26:22,508 --> 00:26:25,148 Speaker 1: Lamb's first game as wide receiver. One Kenny Brew himself 576 00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:26,708 Speaker 1: and is he because Elliott, you're making all this money, 577 00:26:26,788 --> 00:26:28,748 Speaker 1: Let's show us what you can do. I'm gonna crush you, 578 00:26:28,868 --> 00:26:34,268 Speaker 1: Jack all right, Trash Wisconsin. I would go there in 579 00:26:34,308 --> 00:26:35,988 Speaker 1: the summer. I'm Geneva Lake and I would have go 580 00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:39,188 Speaker 1: to Chuck's Lake Shore in and they had the NBA 581 00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:41,228 Speaker 1: jam machine and I would put it in. I would 582 00:26:41,308 --> 00:26:45,548 Speaker 1: always go Scott Skiles feeding it to Shack underneath his 583 00:26:45,668 --> 00:26:48,028 Speaker 1: dunk dunk Dunan style. I don't rolling people, and I 584 00:26:48,068 --> 00:26:49,308 Speaker 1: will do the same thing here. I don't know if 585 00:26:49,308 --> 00:26:50,828 Speaker 1: you guys have noticed this. I've hid a lot of 586 00:26:50,828 --> 00:26:53,068 Speaker 1: attention to the Panthers Browns game, and I'm gonna pick 587 00:26:53,148 --> 00:26:56,508 Speaker 1: My team is going to be Christian, the Caffree j 588 00:26:56,748 --> 00:26:59,348 Speaker 1: Moore all in. I'm gonna do the thing where you 589 00:26:59,348 --> 00:27:01,428 Speaker 1: don't put in one quarter to play the first quarter 590 00:27:01,428 --> 00:27:03,588 Speaker 1: of the game, put in all four quarters in the 591 00:27:03,668 --> 00:27:05,668 Speaker 1: coin op thing to play four quarters of the game. 592 00:27:05,908 --> 00:27:09,028 Speaker 1: That's gonna be me. McCaffrey seven. Experience, maybe a little 593 00:27:09,068 --> 00:27:13,468 Speaker 1: bit low, but I got my Panthers versus Jamie's Cowboys. 594 00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:16,628 Speaker 1: A nice little NFC battle there, and we're often running. 595 00:27:16,628 --> 00:27:20,708 Speaker 1: We cool to cdee LAMB look so great and everything 596 00:27:20,748 --> 00:27:22,548 Speaker 1: about it wouldn't you look to play with them in 597 00:27:22,588 --> 00:27:25,548 Speaker 1: a video game like, yes, no doubt, I feel I 598 00:27:25,588 --> 00:27:27,748 Speaker 1: feel good about my matchup. Tee Higgens is gonna go off. 599 00:27:27,988 --> 00:27:29,988 Speaker 1: Why did you not pick Chase United? You mentioned if 600 00:27:30,028 --> 00:27:32,388 Speaker 1: it like Chase's Chase their games in the past. Last year, 601 00:27:32,508 --> 00:27:35,508 Speaker 1: they did a great job handling Jamar Chase te Higgins. 602 00:27:35,588 --> 00:27:38,588 Speaker 1: That second game over one hundred yards balled out. Okay, 603 00:27:38,748 --> 00:27:43,268 Speaker 1: focus on Chase te Higgins. Let's go the team. Give 604 00:27:43,308 --> 00:27:47,348 Speaker 1: me I'm Steve Smith, give me splid if Levingstone it 605 00:27:47,428 --> 00:27:50,228 Speaker 1: all right? Come up, Josh Allen played like a boss, 606 00:27:50,388 --> 00:27:52,988 Speaker 1: played like a man possessed last night. Did the Bills 607 00:27:53,068 --> 00:27:56,868 Speaker 1: exceed the offseason expectations. It's a shocking question, but it, 608 00:27:57,348 --> 00:27:59,468 Speaker 1: frankly may well have happened. We're gonna talk about it. 609 00:28:15,428 --> 00:28:17,748 Speaker 1: The Bills flew to Los Angeles, they played that game, 610 00:28:17,828 --> 00:28:19,468 Speaker 1: they beat the Rams. They just went straight to the 611 00:28:19,548 --> 00:28:21,788 Speaker 1: Hollywood Walk of Fame, put their hands and feet in 612 00:28:21,828 --> 00:28:23,628 Speaker 1: the cement, and then they went back to Buffalo. I mean, 613 00:28:23,668 --> 00:28:26,028 Speaker 1: that was an absolute show they put on last night 614 00:28:26,068 --> 00:28:28,308 Speaker 1: against the defending champs. The buzz around this team all 615 00:28:28,348 --> 00:28:31,868 Speaker 1: offseason was unbelievable. Three of us picked them to be 616 00:28:31,908 --> 00:28:35,228 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs. But sometimes too much talk is too much. 617 00:28:35,428 --> 00:28:37,508 Speaker 1: But this time it lived up to the hype. So 618 00:28:38,068 --> 00:28:40,548 Speaker 1: is there a possibility that the Bills last night exceeded 619 00:28:40,868 --> 00:28:45,308 Speaker 1: our expectation because let's say we were here. We were here, like, 620 00:28:45,628 --> 00:28:47,788 Speaker 1: is it up there in the lights? Yeah, I think 621 00:28:47,828 --> 00:28:49,748 Speaker 1: it is. It's as high up as it possibly we 622 00:28:49,788 --> 00:28:51,668 Speaker 1: can go. I mean, I'm watching the game last night. 623 00:28:52,148 --> 00:28:55,188 Speaker 1: I text my brother and I'm just like, bro, if 624 00:28:55,228 --> 00:28:58,548 Speaker 1: you want to come join the breakfast, maybe we could 625 00:28:58,588 --> 00:29:01,668 Speaker 1: pull up an extra seat. Because this Josh Alan Guide, 626 00:29:01,708 --> 00:29:05,788 Speaker 1: these Buffalo Bills, this defense, they look unbeatable and you 627 00:29:05,908 --> 00:29:08,708 Speaker 1: have to go against him two times this season, Like 628 00:29:08,988 --> 00:29:12,348 Speaker 1: I'm happy I'm no longer in that division in the afcast, 629 00:29:12,428 --> 00:29:14,628 Speaker 1: but they looked awesome. And you talk about Ken Dorsey, 630 00:29:14,708 --> 00:29:17,668 Speaker 1: like we said earlier, Brian Dable's gone. Ken Dorsey has 631 00:29:17,708 --> 00:29:20,468 Speaker 1: now his show. Josh Allen was getting rid of the 632 00:29:20,548 --> 00:29:23,948 Speaker 1: ball so fast, he wasn't holding onto it. Got sacked, 633 00:29:23,988 --> 00:29:25,868 Speaker 1: but didn't take a lot of sacks, didn't make many 634 00:29:25,988 --> 00:29:28,908 Speaker 1: wrong decisions, had one bad throw that was intercepted by 635 00:29:28,988 --> 00:29:32,068 Speaker 1: Troy Hill. But as you watched their offense, they took 636 00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,908 Speaker 1: everything that the Rams gave him. The Rams were playing 637 00:29:34,948 --> 00:29:37,748 Speaker 1: a softer coverage, playing offense one, and he was getting 638 00:29:37,788 --> 00:29:39,868 Speaker 1: the ball. He didn't have many throws over twenty yards 639 00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:41,708 Speaker 1: in the first half because he was just getting it, 640 00:29:41,948 --> 00:29:44,068 Speaker 1: getting it right to the guy. And you saw Stefan 641 00:29:44,148 --> 00:29:46,708 Speaker 1: Diggs late in that game make a huge touchdown pass 642 00:29:46,868 --> 00:29:49,228 Speaker 1: and make catch us throughout the entire game. And that's 643 00:29:49,268 --> 00:29:51,428 Speaker 1: how you show up. You're the number one receiver, you're 644 00:29:51,468 --> 00:29:54,108 Speaker 1: the guy we're all watching. And he made play after 645 00:29:54,308 --> 00:29:57,428 Speaker 1: play for that Buffalo Bill offense. It was fun to watch. Jason. 646 00:29:57,508 --> 00:29:59,548 Speaker 1: You've been on the show now seven weeks, eight weeks. 647 00:29:59,588 --> 00:30:01,308 Speaker 1: That might have been your most emphatic take, and I 648 00:30:01,388 --> 00:30:03,428 Speaker 1: love it because you're fired up and I feel the 649 00:30:03,508 --> 00:30:06,028 Speaker 1: same way. Think that the Bills come into this thing 650 00:30:06,108 --> 00:30:08,628 Speaker 1: and it's well, Josh Allen's getting all this hype it 651 00:30:08,628 --> 00:30:10,148 Speaker 1: and then it's like they punched him in the mouth, 652 00:30:10,428 --> 00:30:12,308 Speaker 1: you know, like it wasn't a finesse game, it wasn't 653 00:30:12,348 --> 00:30:14,708 Speaker 1: what was like this high scoring Let's just have a 654 00:30:14,828 --> 00:30:17,028 Speaker 1: nice aerial shows like they beat the crap out of 655 00:30:17,068 --> 00:30:19,628 Speaker 1: the Rams last night physically, and I'm talking like big 656 00:30:19,708 --> 00:30:21,068 Speaker 1: places and that could have gone a different way of 657 00:30:21,108 --> 00:30:24,588 Speaker 1: stefans like, you don't usually get four turnovers and still 658 00:30:24,628 --> 00:30:27,028 Speaker 1: win by twenty one points against the defending champion. It 659 00:30:27,108 --> 00:30:29,508 Speaker 1: didn't matter early on in this game when like the 660 00:30:29,628 --> 00:30:31,948 Speaker 1: Bills offense was sputtering a little bit, and like the 661 00:30:32,028 --> 00:30:34,388 Speaker 1: Bill's defense was like, no, no, we got you. Every 662 00:30:34,508 --> 00:30:37,268 Speaker 1: time that the Rams had a chance to capitalize on 663 00:30:37,388 --> 00:30:39,668 Speaker 1: what the Bill's mistakes were, the Bills defense was there 664 00:30:39,708 --> 00:30:41,748 Speaker 1: to pick them right up. That's why they lived up 665 00:30:41,748 --> 00:30:43,828 Speaker 1: to the hype. This was a complete win here. This 666 00:30:43,988 --> 00:30:46,668 Speaker 1: wasn't just thirty one points from the offense. The defense 667 00:30:46,748 --> 00:30:49,748 Speaker 1: held the Rams to ten and made Matt Stafford and 668 00:30:49,828 --> 00:30:52,188 Speaker 1: Sean McVay looked like they weren't prepared for this game. 669 00:30:52,508 --> 00:30:55,468 Speaker 1: It was very one sided and that was with four turnovers. 670 00:30:55,668 --> 00:30:57,708 Speaker 1: What a complete win by the Bills. And Sean mcvagh 671 00:30:57,908 --> 00:30:59,828 Speaker 1: essentially admitted that that he did not do a good 672 00:30:59,908 --> 00:31:02,268 Speaker 1: enough job in preparing this team for that game last night. Yeah, 673 00:31:02,268 --> 00:31:04,788 Speaker 1: first words out of his miss weren't prepared. I actually 674 00:31:04,828 --> 00:31:06,948 Speaker 1: doubt that You're worried that they were prepared and they 675 00:31:06,948 --> 00:31:08,508 Speaker 1: just weren't good enough. And the Bills were that good 676 00:31:08,708 --> 00:31:12,348 Speaker 1: talking about expectations and hype when sometimes they supersede sports. 677 00:31:12,508 --> 00:31:14,948 Speaker 1: And yesterday and I sat here and I played the 678 00:31:15,028 --> 00:31:16,988 Speaker 1: Hollywood card to try to really sum up what we 679 00:31:17,068 --> 00:31:19,668 Speaker 1: were expecting from Alan going into last night. It was 680 00:31:19,668 --> 00:31:22,628 Speaker 1: like this, there's this expectation. It's La, It's Hollywood. I 681 00:31:22,628 --> 00:31:25,068 Speaker 1: always think of the movie Seven when Morgan Freeman and 682 00:31:25,148 --> 00:31:27,268 Speaker 1: Brad Pitt are trying to find John Doe, the serial killing. 683 00:31:27,308 --> 00:31:30,068 Speaker 1: He's built up as this mythical figure, and Brad Pitt says, 684 00:31:30,148 --> 00:31:31,628 Speaker 1: if we catch him and he turns out to be 685 00:31:31,708 --> 00:31:34,868 Speaker 1: the devil, like Satan himself, it might live up to 686 00:31:34,908 --> 00:31:38,108 Speaker 1: our expectations. That's what we're looking for. Josh Allenson, He's 687 00:31:38,148 --> 00:31:43,268 Speaker 1: the Devil's fully the devil. He's the devil. It lived 688 00:31:43,308 --> 00:31:48,828 Speaker 1: after our expectation we had last night. He was raf rage, envy, 689 00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:52,948 Speaker 1: tried as some sort of gluttony at the goal line. 690 00:31:53,228 --> 00:31:56,028 Speaker 1: He had the rams head in a freaking box by 691 00:31:56,108 --> 00:31:57,748 Speaker 1: the end of the thing and making them open it 692 00:31:57,788 --> 00:32:00,268 Speaker 1: and look at it like that. It's he's the devil. 693 00:32:02,308 --> 00:32:05,388 Speaker 1: What else is there? Lust? I don't even I'm committed. 694 00:32:05,388 --> 00:32:07,468 Speaker 1: I'll commit them all to night. But like he did 695 00:32:07,548 --> 00:32:09,948 Speaker 1: that just in La, I think you did watching Alan 696 00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:14,748 Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, that's a great night. Yeah. I mean 697 00:32:14,788 --> 00:32:17,588 Speaker 1: I had a cigarette after this game's incredible, put on 698 00:32:17,668 --> 00:32:20,988 Speaker 1: some Kenny g Ate, some oysters and chocolate. Oh my god, 699 00:32:21,028 --> 00:32:23,108 Speaker 1: it was so good. Walked down to my kitchen my 700 00:32:23,188 --> 00:32:27,908 Speaker 1: underwear afterwards, ate at the refrigerator. It's awesome. It was incredible. 701 00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:31,108 Speaker 1: Oh what a night. You know that passionate you gentle, 702 00:32:31,308 --> 00:32:33,668 Speaker 1: you know, in the same way I felt like one 703 00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:36,148 Speaker 1: one hell in the combination hands and interlocking. I mean, 704 00:32:36,148 --> 00:32:38,228 Speaker 1: it was like they're getting with my homes. It's a 705 00:32:38,268 --> 00:32:41,868 Speaker 1: beautiful feeling. When the guy actually does the job, you're like, Yes, 706 00:32:42,028 --> 00:32:43,988 Speaker 1: all the hype I gave you you fulfilled and you've 707 00:32:44,028 --> 00:32:46,668 Speaker 1: been the Josh Allen guy. Oh I just responded to 708 00:32:46,748 --> 00:32:49,188 Speaker 1: your segment. Is is the word that I came up 709 00:32:49,228 --> 00:32:51,788 Speaker 1: with thinking about the Bills last night, which is unbothered 710 00:32:51,988 --> 00:32:54,268 Speaker 1: because that bothered me. But like the bills last night 711 00:32:54,388 --> 00:32:57,508 Speaker 1: against the Rams, they just look unbothered. Let's remind ourselves 712 00:32:57,588 --> 00:32:59,428 Speaker 1: what set the stage for the bills. You have to 713 00:32:59,468 --> 00:33:02,908 Speaker 1: fly across country. Your weather people, your meteorologists in Buffalo 714 00:33:03,028 --> 00:33:06,388 Speaker 1: are warning fans about how hot it is in southern California. 715 00:33:06,468 --> 00:33:07,948 Speaker 1: You're there for a couple of days. You have this 716 00:33:08,108 --> 00:33:11,508 Speaker 1: emotional Super Bowl unveiling for the other team that you 717 00:33:11,588 --> 00:33:15,068 Speaker 1: have to witness, and then that is your stage yourself 718 00:33:15,188 --> 00:33:17,668 Speaker 1: as you are entering the season. That is your expectation. 719 00:33:17,708 --> 00:33:19,948 Speaker 1: You have to stare at that as that happens. So 720 00:33:20,228 --> 00:33:23,508 Speaker 1: many heavy things that could have weighed on the Buffalo 721 00:33:23,588 --> 00:33:27,348 Speaker 1: Bills and Josh Allen yet absolutely unbothered. I mean Josh Allen, 722 00:33:27,428 --> 00:33:32,108 Speaker 1: his execution was fantastic. Specifically, I saw a stat about 723 00:33:32,148 --> 00:33:34,068 Speaker 1: halfway through the game that he hadn't thrown a ball 724 00:33:34,148 --> 00:33:36,748 Speaker 1: farther than twenty yards well into the game, and that 725 00:33:36,948 --> 00:33:38,868 Speaker 1: was just setting this team up for some of those 726 00:33:38,988 --> 00:33:41,268 Speaker 1: highlight worthy passes we saw in the second half. But 727 00:33:41,348 --> 00:33:43,708 Speaker 1: he was just saying, drawmin, get the ball out fast, 728 00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:45,868 Speaker 1: so we don't have to deal with an Aaron Donald. 729 00:33:46,028 --> 00:33:47,268 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, what do you have? 730 00:33:47,668 --> 00:33:50,268 Speaker 1: The cornerbacks are floating and floating in and then he's like, bam, 731 00:33:50,468 --> 00:33:53,028 Speaker 1: seventy eight yards, Bam any six yards? Oh me, you're 732 00:33:53,028 --> 00:33:55,628 Speaker 1: gonna go for me? Nope, go go gadget arm extension. 733 00:33:55,828 --> 00:34:00,588 Speaker 1: I mean it's just spectacular, patient, unbothered, and he just 734 00:34:00,708 --> 00:34:03,028 Speaker 1: seemed like that the entire all the way through his 735 00:34:03,068 --> 00:34:07,988 Speaker 1: postgame press conference. It was unbelievable. There was no emotional 736 00:34:08,388 --> 00:34:11,268 Speaker 1: roller coaster, good or bad. And that's exactly what you 737 00:34:11,308 --> 00:34:13,548 Speaker 1: need from a team with this much hype and expectation, 738 00:34:13,628 --> 00:34:15,668 Speaker 1: because you need it to be sustainable. I think that 739 00:34:15,708 --> 00:34:17,828 Speaker 1: builds Out coached the Rams yesterday too. I mean, yeah, 740 00:34:17,868 --> 00:34:20,148 Speaker 1: there was obviously a game plan to throw it really 741 00:34:20,228 --> 00:34:22,108 Speaker 1: quick and really emphatically, and we're not going to mess 742 00:34:22,148 --> 00:34:23,948 Speaker 1: with ninety nine. Got it out of our hands and 743 00:34:23,988 --> 00:34:26,068 Speaker 1: just let's just remember the Brian Dable thing has gone. 744 00:34:26,588 --> 00:34:29,028 Speaker 1: Never mind a step back with Ken Dorsey, What if 745 00:34:29,068 --> 00:34:32,348 Speaker 1: they're better with Ken Dorsey, a younger guy who Alan 746 00:34:32,468 --> 00:34:35,868 Speaker 1: loves like. There was a really impressive offensive performance by 747 00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:38,708 Speaker 1: the coaching staff last night too, Speaking of youthful energy, 748 00:34:38,748 --> 00:34:42,628 Speaker 1: Ian Rappaports joining us week one is just getting started. 749 00:34:42,748 --> 00:34:44,468 Speaker 1: But you have something you have to fill us in 750 00:34:44,548 --> 00:34:47,188 Speaker 1: on the injury front. We are going to see Michael 751 00:34:47,188 --> 00:34:49,348 Speaker 1: Thomas or will we on the field for the Saints 752 00:34:49,428 --> 00:34:52,508 Speaker 1: this weekend. Plus Lamar Jackson is today to day that 753 00:34:52,588 --> 00:34:54,788 Speaker 1: we get a big time extension, new deal for that 754 00:34:54,908 --> 00:34:57,548 Speaker 1: quarterback in Baltimore. Well, what's that with Michael Thomas definitely 755 00:34:57,588 --> 00:34:59,828 Speaker 1: one of the more intriguing players over the last couple 756 00:34:59,868 --> 00:35:03,028 Speaker 1: of years, limited time on the practice field, numerous injuries, 757 00:35:03,108 --> 00:35:05,388 Speaker 1: a couple of foot surgery to try to get him 758 00:35:05,428 --> 00:35:08,108 Speaker 1: on the field just really has not happened lately. But 759 00:35:08,268 --> 00:35:11,188 Speaker 1: it sounds like it's headed towards happening this weekend. And 760 00:35:11,268 --> 00:35:14,148 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen I would say it was cautiously optimistic about 761 00:35:14,188 --> 00:35:16,828 Speaker 1: his star receiver, saying, yeah, he's progressing and basically, if 762 00:35:16,828 --> 00:35:19,268 Speaker 1: he keeps progressing, we'll see him on the field. Michael 763 00:35:19,268 --> 00:35:22,508 Speaker 1: Thomas talking to reporters yesterday basically saying that he wants 764 00:35:22,548 --> 00:35:24,708 Speaker 1: to put the product on the field every Sunday that 765 00:35:24,828 --> 00:35:27,148 Speaker 1: makes everyone know what kind of receiver he is. And 766 00:35:27,268 --> 00:35:30,148 Speaker 1: the question was, Okay, does that mean this Sunday and 767 00:35:30,228 --> 00:35:32,868 Speaker 1: he said that is the plan. So yes, after battling 768 00:35:32,948 --> 00:35:35,788 Speaker 1: a somewhat nagging hamstring injury for much of the last 769 00:35:35,828 --> 00:35:38,348 Speaker 1: couple weeks, it does seem like Michael Thomas has headed 770 00:35:38,388 --> 00:35:41,348 Speaker 1: toward being on the field and reminding us how good 771 00:35:41,428 --> 00:35:44,788 Speaker 1: a receiver he actually is. Meanwhile, the Lamar Jackson situation 772 00:35:44,988 --> 00:35:48,028 Speaker 1: still lingers. He talked about how today was the day 773 00:35:48,148 --> 00:35:51,868 Speaker 1: the deadline for a long term deal, and anything is possible. 774 00:35:51,988 --> 00:35:53,988 Speaker 1: There can be a breakthrough and talks at any moment, 775 00:35:54,188 --> 00:35:57,668 Speaker 1: especially as you get closer and closer to game time, 776 00:35:57,708 --> 00:36:00,348 Speaker 1: as the risk gets greater and greater for any player 777 00:36:00,868 --> 00:36:02,748 Speaker 1: putting their body out there on the field. I just 778 00:36:03,188 --> 00:36:07,268 Speaker 1: I don't sense any momentum TOWARDID deal could happen. Today. 779 00:36:07,388 --> 00:36:09,348 Speaker 1: Is obviously a big David as of right now, I 780 00:36:09,468 --> 00:36:12,628 Speaker 1: just don't get the feeling that a big time mega, 781 00:36:13,188 --> 00:36:17,068 Speaker 1: a hugely guaranteed, fully guaranteed deal for Omar Jackson is coming. 782 00:36:17,348 --> 00:36:19,588 Speaker 1: That has been a fascinating situation to watch, and I'm 783 00:36:19,628 --> 00:36:22,068 Speaker 1: sure more incoming. Ian Rappaport, thank you so much.
