What do we got? 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: It's still five questions twenty four hours ahead of kickoff, 16 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: Like I still have things we need to know. We're 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: gonna go through them real quick. The Commissioner Roger Goodell 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: sam on TV left night at the US Open, his 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: last fix of another sport before he hits the tour 20 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: and he goes to all these out but he was 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: at the open Watchers and Tennis. Get it out of 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: your system, Commission Football. I was there Monday and all 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: I could think about was football. I'm sitting there and 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh a crowd, oh normalcy. All I could 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: think about was getting to a footfall stadium for a 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: regular game. And that's what we have in Tampa tomorrow. 27 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Night's time to leeve Bluck. It's doing our long way. 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: It's almost over. That's rights. We've got action between the 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Buccaneers. So we've got to get delayed 30 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: us from both squads. Let's start with Jin Slater with 31 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Sarah walshdown and Tampa with a defending champs 32 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: Thank Kry Well as the Cowboys and myself depart for 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: Tampa this afternoon. They are going to need their defense 34 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: to unpack all of that work that they've done this offseason. 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: They certainly feel like they have a clearer vision of 36 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: what's expected of them under new defensive corded or Dan Quick, 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: and on paper at least, this team is certainly a 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: lot more talented, and that starts their first round pick, 39 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: linebacker Micah Parsons. I did ask around and say, how 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: does this rookie stand out for you? Because there's a 41 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of hype that come with these guys, but he 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: has been making immediate plays and I was told he 43 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: reminds them of Clay Matthews when he was a rookie. 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, he was all over the place for 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay and the Packers, so pretty nice comparison there, 46 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: And I did think it was interesting ahead of their 47 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: final preseason game here at AT and T Stadium, Parsons 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: was getting a lot of work in with the defensive line. 49 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: That's because we're expecting to see him and a couple 50 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: of pass rushing situations. For more on this game and 51 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the Bucks, let's go to Sarah Walsh. Thanks Jane. Tom 52 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: Brady can certainly relate to some of what Dak Prescott 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: will be feeling Thursday night coming back from a season 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: ending injury. It happened to Tom Brady back in two 55 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: thousand and eight when he tore his ACL in Week one. 56 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: I asked him about that and what it was like 57 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: to make that return, and he said it really gave 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: him a different perspect because players, he said, feel like 59 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: they're invincible and something like that happens, and you learn 60 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: that you're not He said. He also learned this that 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: he would rather play and lose than not play at all. 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: Bruce arians told us that he expects to see the 63 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: very same Dak Prescott that they all saw before the injury. Okay, 64 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: back to you, and that's the one we'd love to see. 65 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: Thank you so much to Sarah and Jane. Obviously, a huge, 66 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: big ticket match of a start off the season, Tom 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: Brady up against America's team, who talked about it a 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: lot this week starting Monday Tuesday. Now we're at Wednesday. 69 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm curious if anything has changed with you guys. It 70 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: seems like the vibe is especially given to Zach Martin 71 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: news it's a bit of an uphill battle for Dallas 72 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: against the team bringing everybody back and healthy. Complete the 73 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: sentence for me. Let's make it simple like that, and 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: my crowd will start with you. The Cowboys will win 75 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: Thursday night if they take the ball away from Tampa Bay. 76 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: More importantly, hold on to the football as well. But 77 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you saw when Dak Prescott was a quarterback 78 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: last year, they had eleven turnovers in those first five games. 79 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: So they cannot turn the football over. But dan Quinn's defense, guys, 80 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: it's predicated off taking the football away from opposing offenses. 81 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: That's a lot easier said than done. Right, they have 82 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: to be in the right position, they have to be 83 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: in the in their spots. And dan Quinn, when he 84 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: was the defensive coordinator in Seattle, I think we have 85 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: a board that I want to show you. Guys, he 86 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: his defenses understand how to take the ball away. Look 87 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: at twenty thirteen we won the Super Bowl. They only 88 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: gave up gave up fourteen points, two seventy three yards 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: total number one in the National Football League, one hundred 90 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: and seventy two passing yards. Look at twenty fourteen. These 91 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: are the two Super Bowl squads. Okay, they played tough 92 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: nosed defense. They took the ball away. You can't win 93 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: in this league if you don't have the football and 94 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: you know you look at Tom Brady and the Tampa 95 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. They had about seventeen turnovers last year almost 96 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: won a game. He doesn't turn the football over much. 97 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: This game is gonna come down to if the Dallas 98 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys could take the ball away, it might be easier 99 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: had than done as you noted yesterday, we're watching Hard 100 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: Knocks and it's DeMarcus. We're talking to Michael Parsons and 101 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: where it's like I was even a veteran in the 102 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: league and Brady would just do tricks with me. Like 103 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: you can't be fooled by him. How hard of an 104 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: assignment in your first NFL game is being a linebacker 105 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady undersenting? Oh, I mean, it's everything. I mean, 106 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: it's the subtle movements you saw DeMarcus. We're talking to 107 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons about it. It's the subtle movements. He may 108 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: point at you, may remike you. You may think something 109 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: is going on and something may not be going on. 110 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: He may do a play action pass. You're all looking, 111 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: you know, up in the line of scrimmage. You got 112 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: a tight end screaming behind you. You just have to 113 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: know your assignment. If Michael Parsons and this defense can 114 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: know their assignment, they'll be fine. They'll be fine. You'll 115 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: be fine. This is a defense that was historically terrible 116 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: last year. They're gonna be fine against Okay, we'll have 117 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: another day to talk about it. Good luck, Dan Quinn. 118 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: I think it's the other side of the ball. I 119 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: think there's like all these different matchups, there's only one 120 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: where it's clear cut to me, this unit has an 121 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: advantage over this unit. I think the Dallas wide receivers 122 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: are really good. I think with Ceedee Lamb and with 123 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: a Maury Cooper and with Michael Gallop, they might have 124 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: an advantage over the cornerbacks on Tampa. I know it's 125 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: a team defense, but that's where we are. We look 126 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: at it the tail the tape, like, all right, I'll 127 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: take those wide off. And I think Ceedee Lamb needs 128 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: to just be amazing. Really. I think Ceedee Lamb needs 129 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: to dominate tomorrow in a way that we have not 130 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: seen him dominate yet. Him and Dak together, they only 131 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: had a few games last year. Ceedee Lamb didn't really 132 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: get going towards the end of the season. I think 133 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: he needs to just absolutely steal the show and be like, 134 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: here's why there's been so much hype on me all summer. 135 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: Here's why they're talking about me as the number one 136 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: over Mariy Cooper. Here's why I can do this. I'm 137 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: talking like two hundred yards. I think we need one 138 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: of these. Randy Moss against the Cowboys National coming out party. 139 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a I'm a bona fide superstar again 140 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: hard knocks. I watched it last night. Ceed says, like 141 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: last week he had COVID and could not taste anything, 142 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: could not smell anything. So it was worst week of 143 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: his life. He's twenty two years old, and he says 144 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: he's so grateful now to be over that and to 145 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: be over that hurdle and to be now being able 146 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: to play in an NFL game. Look, I came out 147 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: with that breakout players list a couple of weeks ago. 148 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: If you watched the show, if you don't, here it is, 149 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: this is the breakout player that I couldn't put anyone. 150 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: Look at number one. I put him as a number 151 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: one in the entire league. I really feel that way, Mica. 152 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: This is not your opinion. It's space large on what 153 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: you hear. Yes, and that like Summer was amazing, he 154 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: was coming on strong again last season, and that those 155 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: teams that took Rugs and Judy above him last year 156 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: are going to regret that. As if it's those teams 157 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: who took Turbisky or anyone else over Mahomes Like I 158 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: feel that strongly about a CD if I'm going to 159 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: back my words up on the national showcase against Tampa. 160 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: This guy needs to put on a show. So call 161 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: us a salute to arms, if you will. This needs 162 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: to be the cd LAM game if they are going 163 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: to compete. I think so, and the numbers back it up. 164 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: When he's a small sample size, when he's out there 165 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: with Dak, there's a serious connection. I think they're gonna 166 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: have to get him the ball quick, man. I think 167 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to take the ball and run with 168 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: it over especially to get Dak comfortable. Man. The Randy 169 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: Moss comparison is apt, you know. It's it's poetic as well, 170 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: because Randy Moss was the one the Cowboys passed on 171 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: them up and then here we are all these years. 172 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: You think he can go for like two thirty and 173 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. No, I don't think he can go for 174 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: two thirty and three, Peter, but I think he could 175 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: have a big night and my thing all week and 176 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: will continue to be. I'm not here for the well 177 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: the Bucks have a better team on paper, and then 178 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys don't sow the Bucks are gonna win by thirty points. 179 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm not It gets too strange, It gets too unusual 180 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: Week one, and the Cowboys win this game if Tom 181 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: Brady forgets to pass and if the Cowboys study the pass, guys, 182 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: let's do it. Four years to the day from today, 183 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs go up against the world champion 184 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: New England Patriots and Tom Brady coming off the twenty 185 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: eight to three comeback and Alex Smith burned Gillette Stadium 186 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: to the ground. Demetrius Harris Kareem Hunt in his first 187 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: football game, first Harry ever it took off. Let me 188 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: look at these beautiful plays. This is the world champion 189 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: pas oh missus Brady hanging the band or oh my god, 190 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna they got crushed in this game. With Patrick 191 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes the sideline watching for the Kansas City Chiefs. Guys, 192 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: this things can happen. You want the Amari Cooper game, 193 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: or you want the Cee Lamb gain a Kareem Hunt 194 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: game happened that you didn't see coming. And meanwhile we 195 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: got a clip of Tom and Giselle shooting something in 196 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: their car going home and she's angry and he's angry. 197 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: They were shocked. No one if we had done the 198 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: show that day, we were probably sitting there on that 199 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday and being like, well it's it's Brady and it's 200 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: Alex smit. No no, no, no no, no no. They got shocked, 201 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: their asses kicked that night in their own stadium. It 202 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: can happen tomorrow. I'll tell if it will happen, But 203 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying today it can. I like that There's there's 204 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: different takes at the table. We've been talking about every 205 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: which way. I'm with Shriggs. I think there's no way 206 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys can stop the Bucks. My thing is this, 207 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: you just people have to understand, like this team wouldn't 208 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: meant to be a three or four day They didn't 209 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: have the personnel last year. Four defense that puts you 210 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: out of place, that put guys in places they're not 211 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: a customed, but to some of those that the Cowboys 212 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: defense cannot stop the books. So if the facto, I 213 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: think on the other side, it's going to be CD lamp. 214 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: So this is one of those things. To me, Dak 215 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: Prescott's gonna have to have a four hundred yard, three 216 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: touchdown game for this one. It's him versus the go. 217 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Can he outduel him. I think it's going to be 218 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win if Dak can put the entire team 219 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: on his shoulders. Unfortunate person, a lot of press and 220 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: with that defense, I'm in life's up there. I just 221 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: think that that's how Friday morning with highlights. Of course, 222 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: we'll be here with you Monday through Friday, seven to 223 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: ten am Eastern, everybody watching joining us all over the place, 224 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: even across the pond. As we welcome in in Ravenfort, 225 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: our NFL insider, let's head to the AFC North and 226 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: welcome to the show. How are you get to see 227 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: what's the latest with the Steelers and TJ. Watt and 228 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: what's going out the Ravens backfield. We'll start with t J. Watt, 229 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: the star pass roger for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who has 230 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: been a little bit under the radar, holding in the 231 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: entirety of training camp, and this thing now has reached 232 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: a critical point with t J. Watting the Steelers, as 233 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,079 Speaker 1: of course you know they're in long term contract extension 234 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: negotiations has been an incredibly difficult negotiation and Watt has 235 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: barely participated in training camp, but all barely participated in 236 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: practices and head coach Mike Tomlin said yesterday he is 237 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: optimistic that wa will be out there today practicing with 238 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: his teammates, ready to go and preparing to play in 239 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Week one. I am not so sure of that because 240 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: this is one where as of right now, it is 241 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: very up in the air if this thing actually gets done. 242 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: If it gets done, what expected to be the highest 243 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: paid defensive player in football. If it does not get done, 244 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: it is likely because these Steelers do not guarantee fully 245 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: guaranteed contracts past year one. It's unclear at this point 246 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: if Watt is willing to accept that structure. Very very 247 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: big couple days for the Pittsburgh Steelers as far as 248 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: the availability and viability of their star pass rushers. Meanwhile, 249 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: a former Steeler, Levion Bell latched on yesterday in a 250 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: little bit of a different way. He is signing with 251 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens practice squad. The former big time running 252 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: back who a very difficult year in Kansas City last year. 253 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna try to do a little comeback situation thing 254 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: in Baltimore now sign with the practice squad. Probably going 255 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: to be promoted fairly soon. They lost two keybacks, including JK. Dobbins, 256 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: to injury, shared perfect opportunity for Levon Bell to get 257 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: some sort of career restart in Baltimore for the Ravens. 258 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Ian, talk to you in a bit, 259 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald TJ. Walk. Either of them taken home the 260 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: Defensive MVP award this season.

It is 264 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: time for Prediction Week twenty twenty. It rages on here. 265 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: So far we've revealed our picks for Rookie of the Year, 266 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, and which teams will make the postseason. 267 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: Well I didn't see that part, but now I will 268 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: join in this because it's super fun and easy and 269 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: it's just one thing. It is this season's defensive Player 270 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: of the Year. It's nice, it's clean, it's not convoluted. Peter, 271 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: who you got. I'm gonna go with a player who's 272 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: going to also be the NFL's comeback Player of the Year. 273 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: It's a player who last year played in one game 274 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: tour his acl, missed the entire rest of the season, 275 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: and then went on to lose some weight, get better 276 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: and I'm told this summer is tearing up training camp. 277 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty one Defensive Player of the Year will 278 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: be Nick Bosa, San Francisco forty nine Ers. Nick Bosa's 279 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: my pick. This guy missed all of last season after 280 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: Week one and has just been absolutely monstrous this summer. 281 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: He's down from two sixty eight to two sixties, little 282 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: lighter on his feet, and he attacked his rehab like 283 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: no other. I expect not only defensive player of the year, 284 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: I expect comeback player of the year. I think this 285 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: guy is going to be electric. The forty nine ers 286 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: are back and they're gonna have one of the best 287 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: defensive lines in the NFL, as they did in twenty 288 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: nineteen when he showed up on the scene. It was 289 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: basically the best defensive lineman on a squad that was 290 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. There he is, he's back. He's not 291 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: afraid to waive that. I can plant it in your building. 292 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: I'm going, Nick Bosa, can you get both the words? 293 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: I think you can. Yeah, I wonder if it's never happened. 294 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's awesome. That's my PI. That's really cool. 295 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: He got me fun man. Look, it's hard to go 296 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: go after that Nick Bosa. I mean he might be 297 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: technically one of the best pass rushers. I mean just 298 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: technically from the handstandpoint. But for me, I'm gonna go 299 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: to the Washington football team. He won the defensive Rookie 300 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: of the Year last year. Chase Young, Okay, okay about it. 301 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: This dude start is legits. Okay. I had an opportunity 302 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: to talk to him on the Total Access podcast over 303 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: the off season. He's very aware of you know, who 304 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: he is and how teams try to defend the you know, 305 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: try to play against him. Uh. He understands that he 306 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: put on tape a couple of times last year, not 307 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: a lot of effort. I mean he worked on that 308 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: in the off season. This dude is a grown up 309 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: man like he when he gets to you, he gets 310 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: to you aggressively. And he's a franchise player, right. You 311 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: usually don't see defenders as as a guy that could 312 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: be the face of your franchise. Chase Young can definitely 313 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: be the face of the Washington football team. I expect 314 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: this got to be better. Seven and a half sacks 315 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: last year, twelve quarterback hits. I think he's in double 316 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: digit sacks this year. I think it all depends on 317 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: how good the Washington football team does as a team 318 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: whether or not he gets his award. What a starter 319 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: if he does that second year in telling you you 320 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: think Ohio State had a good defensive Harry Johnson nightmares. 321 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: Yeah it is, and it's about to get even scarier. 322 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: Some of my picture crazy, some of them are gonna 323 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: be wrong. I think that's what's gonna be right, don't 324 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: I m just bring up the picture. Here's the defensive 325 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: Player of the Year for twenty two, and bring up 326 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: the damn picture. This is my guy. Bring up that picture. No, 327 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: that's my guy. Very simple. Miles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns. 328 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: It's time he's arrived. He's put in a few years, 329 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's on a contender, and he's talking. So 330 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: the Browns Adjadevian Clowney and Malik Jackson on the defensive line. 331 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: This is a real quote for Miles Garrett. I got 332 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: my Kyrie and my love. I gotta prove I'm lebron Wow. 333 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: And he says that in Cleveland, I have to prove 334 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: that I'm the playmaker at all levels. He needs to 335 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: take over the game defensively, they added some pieces. That's great. 336 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: I have to be lebron guys at KC. Week one, 337 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna sack Mahomes versus Houston. Week two, he's gonna 338 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: sack over the hell they put out and versus the Bears. 339 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: Week three, he's gonna sack Justin Fields and it's gonna 340 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: be off and running. I think this is the year 341 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: of Miles Garrett. I don't think twenty sacks is out 342 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: of the question. I don't think Michael Strahan is out 343 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: of the question in a seventeen game season. I think 344 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett this is the takeover, and we are all witnesses. 345 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna be the lebron of the defense. How he 346 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: is right physically, he should have been taken over game right. 347 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: I think it is time to do his thing. And look, 348 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: there's no disrespect to Aaron Donald. I think Aaron Donald 349 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: to me was just the easy picture. We gotta go 350 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: look out, sass Aaron. If you watch it, man, you 351 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: know you'll probably get about that means I pick Aaron 352 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: Donald's right, somebody picks someone has to. I didn't even 353 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: think about it. It's just a it's a given that 354 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: it might be him. But the way I thought about it, 355 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I want to pick Bobby Wagner, but what 356 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: it was all prolet What more can Bobby Wagner do? 357 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: And he hasn't ever gotten this award and he hasn't 358 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: really been in contention. So I went another way, but 359 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: sort of in the same vein. I want somebody who 360 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: does a lot. I thought Chris Jones was it would 361 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: be an interesting pick from the Chiefs. I love him. 362 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: These guys would do different things. But I'm gonna go 363 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams because general wreaker of havoc. If you just 364 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: look at what they did, I mean, I bring up 365 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: the splits all the time. They were not great defensively 366 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: the first half of the season. Second half of the 367 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: season they were the number one defense. Why what was 368 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: the biggest catalyst of that? Right, Well, they changed how 369 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: they used him a little bit, right, let us them 370 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more as a pass rusher. Let's get 371 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: him going. And he racked up eight and a half 372 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: sacks over the second half of the season at safety. 373 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: And I think that's insane, so assuming, and they should 374 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: and they better keep using our friend Jamal Adams like this. 375 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: Tell me he can't rack up a hundred tackles, double 376 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: digit sacks and have some interceptions. The only guy who's 377 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: ever done that in NFL history James Harrison. What you do? 378 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: Took home the Defensive Player of the Year award. It 379 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often at safety, as I'm sure Shrikes 380 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: will tell me, it's a red Bob Sanders. But he 381 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: I think he could joy. He draws comparisons to Troy 382 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: Polamal all of the time Troy took it home. I 383 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: think he very much could do. Love it here. I 384 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: love it especially if Seattle is one of these teams 385 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: that is dominant and they're winning the NFC West. He 386 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: was going to be I think their top defensive player 387 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: who's missing outside of is Aaron Donald Good. It's boring 388 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: television for us to say you you'll probably win it 389 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: and you deserve it. But other than that, you know, look, 390 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: let's see what happens with T. J. Watt like he 391 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: deserves to be on that list. Anybody else come to 392 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: Jones Chandler Jones as J. J. Watton the other side, 393 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: Arizona would have to go to the playoffs, maybe within 394 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: the West to get that. You know, the days of 395 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: us hyping Khalil Mack. I'm so unfortunately he's got to 396 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: blow the ring. The Dolphins fans are screaming, zaving Howard 397 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: has ten picks every year. If you go out there 398 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: and you have one of those type of seasons where 399 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: you have tot of bigger receptions, you got to get 400 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: heart of it. There's always a corner who has a 401 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: bigger Gilmore one in a couple of years ago. True 402 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: at GMF with your thoughts, but it is now time 403 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: to tell you who we think will be this season's 404 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: most valuable slate. Come, okay, okay, yes, I'm kicking things off. 405 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: They put the secunity seat. I can see this white 406 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: and blue yesses. No, yes, I'm gonna go. I'm doing 407 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: it because I feel as though the numbers beared it out. Yes, last, 408 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: your numbers matter when it comes to the MVP. When 409 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: he was out there, when he was healthy, he was 410 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: doing his thing. He would out came off the gates 411 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 1: fly an absurd like unprecedented four hundred and twenty two 412 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: yards per game. Before the injury, he was on pace 413 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: to absolutely obliterate Payton Manning single season passing record. I 414 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: think he's going to pick up right where he left off, 415 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be one of those Oprah stitches. It's 416 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: gonna be like Gallop you get a thousand yards and 417 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: CD Lamb maybe the fifteen hundred yards, and then Amari 418 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Coop where you get told, yes, he's got the receivers. 419 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have to put his team on 420 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: his back. I know, like a Parson is a very 421 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: exciting rookie. We're all trying to get behind dan quinnby 422 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: love you on defense. I'm not convinced they'll be that great. 423 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to put it on his back. 424 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: Will this team into the playoffs? I hadn't in a 425 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: million years. I never thought I would pick the Dallas 426 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys quarterback to be the most valuable player in naske 427 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: Fotball League at this time. But I'm doing that. And 428 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: if he can build off what he started last year 429 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: pre injury, there's kind of no way this doesn't happen. 430 00:20:53,240 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: I think his MVP case would be undeniable. Who good? Okay, 431 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: that was good? That was good? All right? MVP? Okay, 432 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: you guys know I love my Mahomes, right, No, I 433 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: love my Mahomes. I love Josh Allen. I love a guy, um, 434 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: but the MVP twenty one NFL season is going to 435 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: be a player who's about to take the league by storm. 436 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: And finally, finally, Russ Russell Wilson never has received an 437 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: MVP vote, not once. Russell Wilson is going to be 438 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: amazing this year. New offense with Shane Waldron, a different 439 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: type of offensive line and what I love most DK 440 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: another year, locket another year, and Russell Wilson with a 441 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder that is as big as Mount Olympus. 442 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: I think this guy is about to tell the rest 443 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: of the world. Yeah. I flirted with some other teams 444 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: this offseason. Yeah I'm coming back to Seattle, and yes 445 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm still that guy. Russell Wilson did the NFL Top 446 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: one hundred this year. He wasn't voted in the top ten. 447 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson wasn't voting in the top ten. Oh. It 448 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: irked me that this guy is the quarterback that defensive 449 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: coordinators lose sleepover. He's the quarterback that everyone does not 450 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: want to face. He's the quarterbacking you can't prepare for. 451 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in a year that no one is talking 452 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks and no one is mentioning Russ along the likes 453 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: of Josh Allen and Mahomes and of course our man 454 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or even Dak. I think this is the 455 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: year that Russ looks himself in the mirror and he says, 456 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: you know what, zero MVP votes. How About I take 457 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: all of the VP votes. How About I make it unanimous? 458 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: And I make it unanimous. Russell Wilson leads the Seahawks 459 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, puts up huge numbers, and he is 460 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: finally the league MV pete, let's go. Oh it's my quarterback, right, 461 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Damn Peter. I'm gonna walk this week. Man, I'm gonna cool. 462 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, one past Dak a little bit, Russell last, 463 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: see you over there. I love you, Russell. Now you're 464 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: my quarterback. Let me step on up. I've been here 465 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: for a second. You can already see a little bit 466 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: of my jersey. If you've been watching the show through 467 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: the week, there's no there's no mystery. Who I think 468 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: is the best player in the National Football League. Bills Mafia, 469 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: stand up? Stand up? Oh yeah, Josh Allen John, doesn't 470 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: it look good? I need to jump to a table. 471 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: Look let me tell you something. Look at this guy. 472 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: There isn't a guy physically capable of doing some of 473 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: the things that Josh Allen does. He can run any offense. 474 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: He could be your lead rusher, he's your goal line back. 475 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: He could throw the ball almost a hundred yards if 476 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: you need him too. This is the next step for 477 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen MVP. You talk about 478 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: that jump Peter from year two to year three, Wait 479 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: till you see the jump from year three to year four. 480 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: He's kept the same play caller, he's kept the same 481 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: offensive line, he's kept everybody. And I know y'all gonna say, 482 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: oh that they don't have run gate. Josh Allen does 483 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: it all what you do? Pity? He turned around? Yes, dude, 484 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen. He's gonna carry. He's gonna jump again, 485 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: another job, another jump. He's gonna double dutch it. He 486 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: has so much left in there it could be double 487 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: dutch you know doing this thing. Come on, May, Josh, 488 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: let's go. Doesn't feel wearing that jersey. It feels amazing. Man, Hey, 489 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: Terry Forgoula. I know y'all know Penn Staters like that. 490 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: Hook me up. I just had to say it. I 491 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: had my moment. I had to say, well, great job, 492 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: Mike Restart, it's great in the red three quarterbacks. Yeah, 493 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: And I think we suspected that one was coming. We 494 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: did not expect Dak, We did not expect Russell. I thought, 495 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: we have a Stafford Jersey on, will we expect mine. 496 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: Let's let's take a little walk over here, just in Hearth. 497 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: All right. UM, A long time ago, it was a 498 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: major motion picture. It was called die Hard. He's talked 499 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: a lot about around Christmas. We know that. I remember 500 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: reading the poster as a child. I said, twelve bad guys, 501 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: one cop. The odds are against John McLean. That's just 502 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: the way he likes it. That's a odd It's really cool. 503 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: It reminds me of the twenty one see after die Hard. 504 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: Every movie that came after it was compared to it. 505 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: Die Hard on a bus, Speed, die Hard in a prison, 506 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: The Rock, die Hard on a boat under siege, Speed 507 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: the Rock under Siege. I think that all describes this gentleman, 508 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: and he is about to deliver die Hard on a 509 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: football field. I don't know if he has the help 510 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: he needs. I don't know if his team has the 511 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: health he needs. But I know this. Here's the poster. 512 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: Eleven tacklers, one hero. The odds are against Lamar Jackson, 513 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: and that's just the way. Like said, Oh Jackson, it's coming. 514 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: He's back. He's gonna do it all himself. I don't 515 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: care who's hurt. I don't care who's gone. Lamar is 516 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: back for two MVPs. Yippy, Kaya, It's gonna happen. Ah, 517 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: I love it. I didn't know head it in me. 518 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm wearing the jersey. Row my god, 519 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: he's got the story, he's got the game. He's going 520 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: to do it all himself. I don't care who he signed, 521 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: who gets hurt. I got this and I'm gonna run 522 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: ramp through the end of as North again. Lamar. I 523 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: love it. Oh my gosh, you have it all from fictions. 524 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: Do with them what you will. Here we go. Kay 525 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: Adams takes Dak Prescott, who starts tomorrow night against Tom Brady. 526 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: Peter says Russell Wilson will get all the MVP boats 527 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: done and unanimous, although MicroB in the Beautiful Red Josh 528 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: Allen's jersey says Josh Allen will make another jump. Yes, 529 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: in Hopscotch for the NFL, and I myself, I'm we're 530 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: in the Black Ravens jersey for number eight. Lamar won 531 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: the VV before. I think he's going to do it 532 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: again tomorrow. He thought that was fireworks tomorrow. We wrap 533 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: up Prediction Week twenty twenty one with our picks for 534 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty six.

Who 536 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: knows one of them might be playing tomorrow Night Bucks Cowboys. 537 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: But that is the end of twenty twenty fiction Week. 538 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: Do not miss tomorrow. So in just a second year 539 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, Bruce Arians became the oldest head coach 540 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. Well, if you can check 541 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: out No Risk It, No Biscuit, where we get a 542 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: look at how coach Arians evolved since the day's coaching 543 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: at Temple University and how he and that staff was 544 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: a very diverse staff. I should mention overcame the pandemic 545 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs on their way 546 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: to raising the Lombardi. But all the Super Bowl champions 547 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: at one point in time we were seven five. I'm 548 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: not real sure we even making the playoff knee help, 549 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: I think it started clicking. If attacking no riskt no Biscuit, 550 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna be all or nothing. Cheers Howie held this 551 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: team together. No Risk, no Biscuit. If all the biscuit 552 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: tastes really good, no risk it, No Biscuit premieres tonight 553 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: at nine pm Eastern on NFL Network. Okay, the start 554 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty one NFL season begins tomorrow night, 555 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: and yet here we are, twenty eight hours away from 556 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: all the festivities. I still got so many questions and 557 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: I still don't have any answers. You thought you'd get 558 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: him in August. No, I thought you'd get him in September. 559 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: Now here are my top five lingering questions twenty four 560 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: hours before the start of the season. So are number five, 561 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: and it goes to the Kansas City Chiefs who were 562 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl losing to the Buccaneers, and all 563 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: officers we heard the Chiefs have rebuilt their offensive line. 564 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: Their chief the Chefs have rebuilt their offensive line. They're 565 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: really great, Yeah, but can they actually protect Patrick Mahomes. 566 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: It's one thing to get new names, but I don't 567 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: think it's as easy as just snap and we could 568 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: forget these images. The offensive line in that Super Bowl 569 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,239 Speaker 1: was horrendous. So what do they do? They went out 570 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: there and they made a change. Take a look at this, 571 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: not just one change the super Bowl offensive line versus 572 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: projected Week one offensive line. There is not a single 573 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: player who started on that Super Bowl the last time 574 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: we saw any football who will be starting Week one 575 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: for Kansas City. Do you want to talk about how 576 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: important continuity is inconsistency? They completely overhauled their offensive line. 577 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: They went and they traded for Brown, They went and 578 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: signed Funy, They drafted Humphrey and Smith and Niang, who 579 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: missed all of last year's he set out because of COVID, 580 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: is expected to start over Mike Grammars at right tackle. 581 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: I have never seen a change like this to a union. 582 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: Not only one player, not moving a player from tackle 583 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: to guard. Five different faces protecting there might be the 584 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: most valuable asset. And you know what, better get it 585 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: right because there's a lot of young guys in there. 586 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: We love Tray Smith, it's a great story. Sixth round pick. 587 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: Is he ready to go seventeen weeks and be the 588 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: We love Creed Humphrey? He is a rookie at center 589 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: with the number one player in all of football based 590 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: on the NFL one hundred behind him. I don't know, 591 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: are we so sure something to watch as the season 592 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: goes on? Number four? So they could that would hope 593 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: they'd be better. It was atrocious in the single number four. 594 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: Does Ben Roethlisberger still have it? And can I say it? 595 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: I know we are not allowed to really ask these 596 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: tough questions, but like, does he have it? Because he 597 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: didn't at the end of last season. He didn't and 598 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: it didn't look good. It was whether it be fatigued 599 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: from the surgery he had before last offseason, whether it 600 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: be the weird scheduling quirks that basically gave the Pittsburgh 601 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: Steelers the only schedule in the league that had no buys. 602 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: They were playing on Tuesdays, they were playing on Mondays, 603 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: they were playing There's a million excuses we can make, 604 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: but whatever it is, the field doesn't live. Ben was 605 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: not the same guy over the last few weeks of 606 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: the season as he was at the start of the season. 607 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: And I take no pleasure in saying this. I love 608 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. I think he's a Hall of Famer. This 609 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: team is going to go as far as he takes it. 610 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: Does he still have it? Because in this past year, 611 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: which our Matt Hamilton's showed the past to Friar Muth 612 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: in the preseason, it looks like Ben so got this 613 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: guy as zip on that. But that's August. How's been 614 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: gonna look in November? How has been gonna look in December? 615 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: They've done everything they possibly could. They brought in the 616 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator that he likes, who was the quarterbacks coach, 617 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: Matt Canada who's calling the place. They got him a 618 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: running back and Naji Harris in the first round, which 619 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: no teams do anymore at all, and they rebuilt that 620 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: offensive line. Ben all eyes on you. I don't know. 621 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: Number three NFC West talked about this load of division, 622 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: but only one team can win. We can hype all 623 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: the teams forty nine Ers, Rams or Seahawks. We pick it, 624 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: we pick it. I don't know. It's so wide open. 625 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: I look at these three coaches. You have obviously Shanahan 626 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: in his fifth year, McVay in his fifth year, and 627 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: then Pete Carroll in his twelfth year. These guys, they're 628 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: killers on the football field. Each one of them is 629 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: a competitor through their You can even throw Kingsbury in there, 630 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: as you want. Four coaches that all have something to 631 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: prove and something they want. But you ask anyone, they're 632 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna tell you. I had love with the ramsmit, but 633 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: the point out it's really good. The Seahawks are the Seahawks. 634 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I'm banking on 635 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: this guy. I don't know if I'm going with McVeigh 636 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: and I don't know if I'm going with Pete. The 637 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: NFC West is wide open this year. I ask you 638 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: fans at home, if you have a better idea, let 639 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: us know. We're gonna be making our picks throughout the season. 640 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers, Rams or Seahawks three point. We know 641 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: what Kyle shannahan runs. We know what Sean mcvayh runs. 642 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: The Seahawks just hired Sean mcvah's top offensive assistant to 643 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: run their offense. NFC West gonna be wide open. I 644 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: don't have a winner yet. I gotta I gotta think 645 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: on this one. Forty nine Ers Rams the Seahawks. You 646 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: tell me number two stay here in New York. What 647 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: you got is Daniel Jones gonna make the year three leap. 648 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: This is not number one for real. I mean it's 649 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: all there now. You got Quon, you got Galladay, Tony, 650 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: you got Rudolph, You've got They've been and they signed 651 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: a Dorry Jackson on defense. They've got the loaded front set. 652 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, We've heard a lot, We talked a lot. 653 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: Are you that guy? Is this the year? Kyle? You 654 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: brought this up? And I really thought those are the 655 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: great full screen. This is the first two seasons of 656 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: their NFL careers. Josh Allen and Daniel Jones had similar numbers. 657 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,239 Speaker 1: No way you're comparing Josh not Daniel Jones. Hang with 658 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: me here, Okay the year three leap. Everyone says, okay, well, 659 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I don't think people realize what kind of 660 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: leap Josh Allen made last year. Josh Allen went from 661 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: a fifty eight percentage points on completely to almost seventy percent. 662 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: Look at the numbers. He went from three thousand passing 663 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: yards to forty five. To expect Daniel Jones to make 664 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: a year three leap because Josh Allen didn't three years 665 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. Josh Allen is a freak. 666 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is in a different stratosphere, and yet Daniel 667 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: Jones needs to be better. He needs to protect the football, 668 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: he needs to be smarter in big positions, and he 669 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: needs to win games. This is it. This is a 670 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: year three. How the NFL works. When you were a 671 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: first round quarterback, you get three years and then the 672 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: team decides where they want to pick up your option 673 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: or they don't. And then New York last year Sam 674 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: Darnold was a number re overall pick and the New 675 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: York Jets said, Sia, Daniel Jones is in the same market. 676 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, are you that guy? And are you gonna 677 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: make that leap? I don't think anyone can make to 678 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: Josh Allen leap. It's too much to ask you gotta 679 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: be better. Finally got the number one question, and it's 680 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: been the entire offseason. Is Tua Tonga Violoa? That dude? 681 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: What's that mean? Yeah? Is he that dude? This is it? 682 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: Like Dolphins fans are ready and they are in his corner. 683 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: And I know we've spent a lot of time on 684 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: this show talking about but with all the whispers about 685 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson being the desired quarterback before the Watson 686 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: scandal with all the talk about well Fitzpatrick actually held 687 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: to a back and they fire chair or chan Gailey 688 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: moved on and they bring in a co offensive coordinator 689 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: situation with gods and Stoodsville, like the Dolphins had everything everything, 690 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: they should be a playoff team. Is too a the 691 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: guy to lead them? There? Again, sometimes we've got kiddy 692 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: gloves on. Sometimes we like to dance around it. But 693 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: like that's the question in Miami, it's my number one question. 694 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: This season, he was the fifth overall pick, he was 695 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: coming off a crazy hip injury. It was a covid offseason. 696 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: And yet last year when he did go in the game, 697 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: there wasn't this great body of work where we could say, yes, 698 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: two is the guy. The Dolphins are ready, They're just 699 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: ready for someone to take them. Is to h that dude? 700 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: We will know. I think I'll know very early Week 701 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: one against the Patriots. Who I have an idea where 702 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: there is here your top five questions? What is it? 703 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta ask the hard questions, right Like Daniel Jones, 704 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: we want to coddle and too we want to coddle 705 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: and all. The NFL is a tough Biz. Here are 706 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: my questions, Mike, what do you think? Man? I love 707 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: them all because I have those same questions. Man, I mean, 708 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: you get it all right here. I mean, for me, 709 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: the biggest one is Daniel Jones because obviously in the 710 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: in the NFC East, I think Dallas is the most 711 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: talented team. I think Washington has the best defense. Philly. 712 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: I think it is you know, under the radar right 713 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: right now. They play their best when they're you know, 714 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: up against the wall the New York Giants. If Daniel 715 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: Jones makes a small leap, I'm just saying, oh, and 716 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: don't turn a football over a lot, they could be 717 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: the most complete team in NFC East and sneak into 718 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So great job, big dog, great job, man. 719 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: I will say, we're he hearing the name of DeShawn 720 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: Watson swirling around too. And we asked Christian Wilkins about 721 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: what he thought about two to day eight, again similarly 722 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: lead to how guys talk about Daniel Jones. You're not 723 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: you don't get that XS and no stuff, you get 724 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: that room stuff. He's stuff. He's a good So the 725 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: questions are out there and they'll only be answered. I 726 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: will say, let's let you he didn't, whether the DeShawn 727 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: Watson stuff, whether he's not the guy, he's not the dude. 728 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: He deserves a chance to prove that, and hopefully he 729 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: does to starve it this year. For sure, we're just 730 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: in the leap. A lot of it was Josh, A 731 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: lot of it was Stefan Diggs that was a huge player. 732 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: So Kenny Galladay as he had Stefan Dig's potential for 733 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: Peter on the precipice of this season, I'm surprised that 734 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: you bought one thing. Yeah, you go on to say 735 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: the NFC West is wide open. No, it's not only 736 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: included three teen. What is the deal with you and 737 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals? You didn't turn on them and Cliff. We 738 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: could have thrown Cliff in there, but we didn't. Why 739 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: not Kyler? Their offense, I think their offense is gonna 740 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: be really talented. I've questions about that. Arizona defense is 741 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: here in the backfield, and these three teams are such 742 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: perennial powers in that division. Arizona to me, not yet. 743 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: We could see it this season and Kyler can have 744 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: this giant leap. But these two coaches right here, they're 745 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: gonna go neck and neck and then this guy's like 746 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: the grandfather watching over all of it. Cliff has to 747 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: get into that conversation. All these guys have playoff wins, 748 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: Super Bowl berths. Cliff hasn't gotten who did you pick 749 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: the Niners of the Rams to it? I took the 750 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: Rams to win the division, but I have not made 751 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl pick. Yeah, so Super Bowl might be 752 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: a little different than that. Patrick Mahomes, I got to 753 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 1: spend the preseason with the Chiefs on the sidelines, and 754 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: I got to sit down with Patrick Mahomes. I was 755 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: at home in t Rebecca, he was were at the facility, 756 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 1: I do believe, So it was very fun to sort 757 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: of connect with him. Mano Amano ahead of this game 758 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,280 Speaker 1: against the Browns. What a huge, huge game, of course, 759 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: between those Chiefs and Browns. The full interview will air 760 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 1: Sunday on NFL Game Day Morning, presented by Lowe's Here's 761 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: just a little teeth. You're going into twenty twenty one. 762 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: There's a smile on your face. Back to back Super 763 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: Bowls to very different results. Did you take anything away 764 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: from the Super Bowl loss that was helpful? Yeah. I 765 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing that I've took away from it 766 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,399 Speaker 1: was you got to be ready to play every single day. 767 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: Having that blowout loss that we hadn't had yet, there's 768 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: something that will make sure that I'm ready to go 769 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: every single week. But I don't take it for granted 770 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: what it's like to playing on against the best of 771 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: the best. Check it out on Sunday. Cannot wait to 772 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: be part of the game day morning. I've got fantasy 773 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 1: picks for you on Sunday as well as you set 774 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: your lineup, especially daily ones. But as far as the 775 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: entire season is considered, I thought I could take down 776 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: some big swings and just predictions I have looking at 777 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: adp looking at where guys went in drafts after it's 778 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: all been set or done. So here are some fantasy 779 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: big swings for twenty twenty. Let's at Michael. Let's talk 780 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: about another Michael. But I like a lot this year. 781 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman J okay, Yeah, he's my first food. We 782 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: don't talk about him much at this breakfast table. A 783 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: lot of we're shied away from the Colts portion of 784 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,919 Speaker 1: the program, but Michael Pittman, I think we'll have more 785 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: touchdowns than DeAndre Hopkins. Oh, I know, it seems yes, 786 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: it seems a little wild. It's not a slight on DeAndre. 787 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna have catches. I think he has more yards 788 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 1: and absolutely crushes it. But Kyler is going to run 789 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: in you know twelve himself. Let's just be honest about this. 790 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: Pittman six four, he's two hundred twenty three pounds. He's 791 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: an absolute monster or Warriors. Frank Greik actually calls him. 792 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: So if the Wentz Quent Nelson thing didn't draw so 793 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: much attention, I think he would. Michael Pittman Junior, who 794 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: can be the number one on this offense type t 795 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 1: Y Hilton not healthy to start the season. I think 796 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns are a very real possibility from Michael Pittman. 797 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: Jee body got, the guy can fly to him. All 798 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: The question is what the football? You know what I'm saying, Yeah, 799 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: that's the inherent value in this and that's why it's 800 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: a Nix swing. I'm saying he'll have more touchdowns than 801 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Next up, We've talked a lot about rookie 802 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: quarterbacks these past few months, so I had to make 803 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: a prediction about them. My second big swing, Trey Lance 804 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: will outscore Mac Jones and fantasy points this season. All 805 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: things point of course, Trey Lance being utilized heavily. You 806 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,760 Speaker 1: Peter Schrager in this offense, even if he's not starting, 807 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: it's just the length. So it's just the rushing yards. Well, 808 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: I like over a thousand he can do that. He can, 809 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: It's part of his game. So I feel like that 810 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: combined with goal line packages for him. Right, Yeah, he's 811 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: definitely gonna get action. He might get five to ten 812 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: snaps and start and he might take over at some point. 813 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: But Mac is every weekend. Yes, he's every week but 814 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 1: do you see Mac throwing a ton of touchdown Let's 815 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: just be honest, Nae macpen and football, right, this has 816 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: to be a full takeover. This has to be Trey 817 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: Lance starter. Absolutely. I'm not saying like who you should 818 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: have owned, a who you lost your service of a 819 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: week to week. I'm saying, at the end of the day, 820 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: after seventeen games, not week seventeen games, Trey Lance will 821 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: have more fantasy points. Jones. I think it's more defense, 822 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,959 Speaker 1: more running the ball up there in New England. Trey Lance. 823 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: If he takes over by what you say, weeks week seven, 824 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: all right, maybe, and he's involved in the offense, Taysom 825 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: hill Away earlier than that. I think Trey Lance with 826 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: all he can do, well, that's a huge especially because 827 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: you know Trey Lance doesn't have the start things. Just 828 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: think about all of the rushing touchdowns scored in the 829 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: preseason versus the path. Give me the who's he throwing 830 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: the ball to? You're talking about Michael Pittman Jr. Who's 831 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: throwing him the ball? Who's Mac Jones throwing the ball too? Yeah, 832 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: you're right, you got a point. I'm just saying, got 833 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: a point. But Matt Jones, it's so true. Okay, Finally, 834 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: my final big swing for the fantasy season. A J. 835 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 1: Brown will have more Fantasy points than Travis Kelsey's a 836 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: kind of a weird one. This is kind of random. 837 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,919 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. I did a Twitter spaces last night 838 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: with Andrew Hawkins and A J. Brown. Aji Brown ends 839 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: up telling me Michael that he did a fantasy league 840 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,720 Speaker 1: for the very first time with his teammates. A lineman 841 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is in the mix all of it. In 842 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: the first round, he drafted and whether it was auto 843 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: draft or not, Aja Brown took Travis Kelsey, whoever on 844 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: the Titans has a J. Brown and drafted him. Is 845 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: trying to trade like inception, here's Aji Brown. Don't you 846 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: want to be yourself? Don't you want to have yourself 847 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: on your fantasy And Aji Brown will not give up 848 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. So what does that mean? Does it mean 849 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,399 Speaker 1: he's He's like, he gets the ball on every play, 850 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,760 Speaker 1: he could have fifty. He won't give up Travis Kelsey, 851 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: So we're kind of trade him him. Yes, lu has 852 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: a J. Brown and he's like, don't you want yourself? 853 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: Give me straight up? A J. Brown's being a realist guys. 854 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: He understands who little Jones is. On the other side, 855 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm very self aware, but I mean as a number 856 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: as far as numbers are concerned, Like Aji Brown, you 857 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: sneeze at two back to back thousand yards seasons, nineteen 858 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: touchdowns over the past years. One of your favorite guys, 859 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: he'd rather have Kelsey than I wonder if Kelsey would 860 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: rather have J Brown than Kelsey. Yeah, but I would 861 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 1: go with AJ Brown. Kelsey will put up number AJ 862 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: outscore Kelsey by eight point during his rookie year. When 863 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: you're removed from that just saying it is awesome
