True believers, they know 21 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: those in the know I was thinking about this big 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: picture from an NFL perspective. Um, has this league you 23 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: could say this at started almost every year, but has 24 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: it ever been bigger more popular than it is? There 25 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: was a movement five ten years ago, whether it was 26 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, the Kaepernick stuff or whether it was concussions. Oh, 27 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, we've we've passed apex. NFL like it's 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna start to come off and it will start 29 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: to lose popularity. It hasn't, not at all. In fact, 30 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: it's emboldened, um even more from from what it was 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: in the last five too in years. It is the 32 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: one thing in entertainment that you cannot miss. You have 33 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: to watch it live. The money that's going out, uh 34 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: and coming in rather to the league, from television partners, 35 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: from streaming partners. They're gonna do the direct TV. This 36 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: is the last year of Sunday ticket that will be 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: announce at some point this fall the new deal the 38 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: company's vying for it or Apple, Amazon, Google, have you 39 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: heard of them? ESPN Plus like the this this sport 40 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: is a bonanza and the idea that we don't even 41 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: have a yet legal gambling in the state of Ohio 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: that's only going to give it more juice. Are there 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: issues in the sport? For sure? Absolutely? Is the fan 44 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: experience at stadiums. Is that something that's constantly has to 45 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: be improved upon to meet the at home? Yeah, but 46 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: guess what, People are watching this sport and consuming it 47 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: with incredible passion more than anything else in this country. 48 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: I would suppose the Liga, A Premier League or something 49 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: like that in Europe is probably similar, but there's nothing 50 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: in this country close and to further butchers the point, 51 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: the second most popular sport in this country is its 52 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: feeder system. And it's not particularly close. No, it is. 53 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: It's a behemoth baby, and it's pure joy. It's bad. 54 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna get great football. We're gonna get to watch it. 55 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna track our fantasy teams, we're gonna get to 56 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: pay attention to the scores for those who are able 57 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: to outside of the purview of the National Football so 58 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: you not me, you view. Yeah that's right. What a 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: treat it is. It's like, here's the thing. Football season ends, 60 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: and yeah we got some fun things combine free agency draft. 61 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: Yeah that's fun, but like, let's be honest about it. 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: February March April May. Who needs them, especially in this 63 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: part of the country. Other parts of the country. Sure 64 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: you can have them, because then you'd tell you what 65 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: your second February now I can go be playing golf. 66 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm here in Scottsdale.

Be got you kidding? 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: I what do you mean? If you if you will it? 70 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: It is no dream. Yeah, it's gonna be Tucson, not Scottsdale, though, yes, 71 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: to so much more affordable smart Catalina Foothills. We'll see 72 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: you there. Um. But then you get so starting June, summer, 73 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: summer leads into football season, leads into Christmas. What a 74 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: streak we're on here these final six months. It's gonnaur 75 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: seven actually, if you count June, it's gonna be a 76 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: real treat for us. And guess what we're all only 77 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: we're like the quarter pole right there. We're just getting going. Yeah. Yeah, 78 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: it's a long season. It's a you know, wow that 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: you need seventeen weeks, No, you probably don't. I like 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: sixteen better, but we'll consume all of it. It's just 81 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: hard to put the season into quarters. Yeah, hope when 82 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: you get to eighteen and then you'll be able to 83 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: bed six six six. As you as you think about 84 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: all of the reasons for that is you saw did 85 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: you see some of the ratings for the college stuff 86 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: last weekend? And this this kind of Hammers at Home? 87 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: I like ginormous, huge, huge, juge buck Eyes was like 88 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: ten point nine million was the number on that for 89 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: that game. What was crazy, though, is so Michigan Colorado State. 90 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: Here's one for the kid. Michigan Colorado State played at 91 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: noon on Saturday. And that game was hot garbage, it 92 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: was trash. The Colorado State is nothing. That game did 93 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: four million viewers at noon on a Saturday of a 94 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: holiday weekend. That's crazy. That is that annihilates. You think 95 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,559 Speaker 1: about NBA on Christmas, You think about you know where 96 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: those numbers stack up the baseball game of the week 97 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: on Fox. So there were eleven, eleven or twelve college 98 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: football games on Saturday that did more than a million viewers, 99 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: and the golden number you want is four million. That's 100 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: where you really start to take off. And there were 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: six of those, but there were like ten or eleven 102 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: that were over a million. The Sunday Saturday Baseball game 103 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: on Fox did less than a million viewers. It was 104 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: Guardians and Mary Earners nothing. Zip. Football is where it's at, man, 105 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's the reason that all of this stuff 106 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: is happening. But it's something. It's this, and it's television 107 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: shows that you care about. They're the only things that 108 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: you can't d v R like you will watch it live. 109 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: There's a betting component to it, you acknowledge it. There's 110 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: a fantasy component to it, absolutely, but there's also a 111 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: fact if it's the conversions. And it's now been years 112 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: in the making of the perfect television sport and perfect televisions, yep, 113 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: and it's all perfect. I like that. It's all come 114 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: and it's connected now and it's a dominant force. Now. 115 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: I know that you did, but I hope you've taken 116 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: that on your tour of the state. That line right there, 117 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: perfect television support, perfect television. That just came to me, No, 118 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: I just came to me. Well, good news prepared.

He's pumped about 165 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: the game planning aspect, getting to get back into that, 166 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, the scheming of it against a very good defense, 167 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: a top five defense in the NFL from a year ago, 168 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: and you know, trying to contain a guy in Christian McCaffrey. 169 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: I gotta let me ask you this, is there another 170 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: player in the league that is not a quarterback that 171 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: is worth So he played in seven games last year. 172 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: They went four and three with him. They went one 173 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: and nine without him. Okay, but that's not even to me. 174 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: The craziest thing. He was worth over four points and 175 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: nearly forty five yards of offense to their team. Is 176 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: there another non quarterback that that would be true of 177 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: the only people I could think of? And I don't 178 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: know the statistical analysis to break it break it down, 179 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: because I wasn't. You know, we we didn't do it. 180 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: I wonder what the Titans would look like without Derrick 181 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: Henry and I wonder what the Colts would look like 182 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: without Jonathan Take the Titans still a playoff team last year? 183 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: They were, but I wonder what the difference was with 184 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: them with him and without him. He played I think 185 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: eight games last year, So what did the last nine 186 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: look like without him? Um? From a point differential record? 187 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they played in a bad division, so that's 188 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: part of it too, Um, But that's just a lot 189 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: of points. It's a ton of points. Yeah, I mean 190 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: those are the only two I could think of. You know, 191 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: it's interesting you were talking about that with Um that 192 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about that with McCaffrey. You know, it's a 193 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: similar situation, like and I think a lot of people 194 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: are under value. We're gonna do some NFL picks and 195 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: here's a little lean for you. Like, I think a 196 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: lot of people are undervaluing the Chiefs a little bit 197 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: because the Tyreek Hill situation. No doubt, I think mahomes 198 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: is going to be more than fine in this and 199 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna light it up quite frankly, might 200 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: even be better. And even when Hill was out, like 201 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: mahomester four touchdowns in a quarter without Tyree killing a 202 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: game last year, So like No, I don't think so. 203 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: I think it is so McCaffrey dependent and a lot 204 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: of that too, And it's probably similar to the other 205 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: guys that we mentioned, although we don't I don't have 206 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: the data to back it up. With Henry and Jonathan Taylor. 207 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: A lot of it is predicated on There's just the 208 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: quarterback play was brutal. So he's the whole operation. Here's 209 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: a crazy like, there's no question there. Baker's the best 210 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: quarterback that Christian McCaffrey's played with. Yes, I think that's fair. 211 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, but he was still had a little Cam 212 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: Newton early, like good Cam, but very little because this 213 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: is his fifth fourth year in the league. Started so 214 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: it's his fifth year. He's missed most of the last two. 215 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: His rookie year probably was with Cam. Cam, but that 216 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: already Cam coming two thousand was still when he hurt. 217 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: He hurt his shoulder. We beat them. He will pick 218 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: against us late to I believe gribbles All forty team. 219 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: Damarius Randall can't believe Gripple did that looking back, Yeah, 220 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: it's crazy. He doesn't. It wasn't even right. I think 221 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: that's part of the writing anymore. I think that's part 222 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: of the reason he doesn't right now for sure, but 223 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: that was when he felt clips. So seventeen was probably 224 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: would have been his best quarterback play was Cam Newton 225 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: in seventeen. Um, But you know, this is a crazy 226 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: number he averages for his career. Okay, for his career 227 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: six point two receptions a game since take his rookie 228 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: out because he was somewhat limited that year. But if 229 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: you go from eighteen on, it's six point five. That's 230 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: fifth in the NFL, behind like Davante Adams, Digs Kelsey 231 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins. Like that's the best receivers in the league. 232 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: Six and I have catches a game. Crazy, So it's 233 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna be. There's definitely some challenges for the Browns in 234 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: that regard, but I think it's certainly ones that they 235 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: are they're up for. Um. But yeah, it's this is 236 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. This is going to 237 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: be this is gonna be a great time. I can't 238 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: it's a lot of It's a fun week one. You 239 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: got this one tonight. Our game is speaks for itself. 240 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: The Bengals are playing the Steelers this week. Um. The 241 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: Monday nighter is ross going back to Seattle. Are there 242 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: only Is there only one Monday nighter? Yeah? I think 243 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: so this year. I think there's only the one. I 244 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: don't think he's listening to us, because we have clear 245 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: stuff earlier that he was, yeah, eating, scratching, someting to things. 246 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing. Um, yeah, but I 247 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: think that there's a social media scrolling. To be honest, 248 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: I think he's listening to something. So there are two 249 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: minor there are two Monday nighters next week, not this week, 250 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: not this week. Next week it's going to be the 251 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: Titans and Bills and the Vikings and Eagles. That sounds 252 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: greaty boy, that's strange. We never no, yeah, Bay, we 253 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: had a bunch of great material that you were listening 254 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: to earlier. Rolling.

I 297 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: was thinking about this as we opened tonight with the 298 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: bills and the rams. The bills are certainly the dartling. 299 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: They've been annoyed. They you want to crowd and crownd 300 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: and crownd them. They are crowned. It's it's pretty wild 301 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: they were eleven and six a year ago. Um, I 302 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: think everybody has in the back of their mind that 303 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: game they played against Kansas City last year, which is 304 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: as good as anything I've ever seen. In the end 305 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: fell and so and they add von Miller and so 306 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: you say, well, here you go another year, Josh Allen, 307 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: better and better. But if you go back and look 308 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: at their season last year, if you look at where 309 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: their wins came from, they did beat They beat Kansas 310 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: City in the regular season, I believe. Um. I just 311 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm wondering with them. Are they too much of a darling? 312 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: They feel to me like they are. They feel like 313 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders team a few years years ago, when the 314 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: Raiders were just absolute darling. They had gone to the playoffs, remember, 315 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: and card gotten hurt, so they had to start some 316 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: Gabroni off the corner and they did not win. And 317 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the next year they were 318 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: the ones. They were doing it all and it didn't 319 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: work out that way. However, I think that I think 320 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: that they're a darling for sure. I don't think they 321 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: should be annoyed that. I just don't think you can 322 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: annoyt anybody coming as coming out of the a f C. Now, 323 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: if they do it, it will be incredibly impressive. This 324 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: is the best DFC I think of the history of football. 325 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't know prom with it, but to me, I 326 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: like the Chargers, I know that you do. Um. Yeah. 327 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: So here's last year. So they opened. They lose to 328 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the opener. They beat which is a stunning 329 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: loss at it time. They lose to Miami Football Team 330 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: Houston are they beat all those teams? They beat Kansas City, 331 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: that's the one that was on Sunday Night football. That 332 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: was they want at Kansas City and they kind of 333 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: whipped him. That's one of Mahomes was kind of in 334 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: a fog. Remember that he would hold the ball too 335 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: long and all of that advantage. They lose the next 336 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: week to Tennessee and a shootout on a good one 337 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: was that a that was a Monday night game. It 338 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: was it was a Monday night game. And then Dolphins. 339 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: They lose to Jacksonville, which is stupefying craziness. Um whip. 340 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: The Jets lose to the Colts, get blasted, blasted, go 341 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: through the rest of the stretch here. So they beat 342 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: the Saints. They lose to the Patriots, and Bucks beat Carolina, 343 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots the second time, um, and then they get 344 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: the Falcons and the Jets. I guess my point. Outside 345 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: of the win against Kansas City, there's not a whole 346 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: lot there where you go, well, that's excellent. Now they 347 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: whip the Patriots in absolutely did, and then there's the 348 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: classic game with Kansas City in the postseason. It just 349 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: feels like there's too much on them. There was a 350 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: I saw a graphic today like the ESPN writers like 351 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: eight they were to pick eighteen times to win the 352 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It just feels like group think to me 353 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: in a in a conference you like, you like the Chargers, 354 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: I like the Chiefs. Let's not forget about the Bengals, 355 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: who forget about one eleven games and it got better, 356 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: Russ and the Broncos. It just feels to me like 357 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: there's the consensus. You want to do consensus NFC, like 358 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: take this builds team and put it in the NFC East, 359 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: find consensus win the NFC, not in the a f C. 360 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: I agree with you, I think I don't. That's exactly 361 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: what A saying. I don't think that you can have 362 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: a consensus in the a f C. Because there were 363 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: just too many good teams, and the a f C 364 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: West in particular is so di ficult to diagnose or 365 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: understand because you've got four teams that all feel like 366 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: they can win the Super Bowl. Oh swack, look at them. 367 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Look at that male. Look at this he's got a 368 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: nice bit on the Yeah, you love that, some faret 369 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: gammos or something. It ends with an avowal for sure, 370 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: no doubt. Here's what I would say. And this goes 371 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: to our point on the a f C. Every a 372 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: f C team, in my opinion, except for one, either 373 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: has a franchise quarterback or has recently drafted a guy 374 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: who they could who they believe is the franchise quarterback 375 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: save for two. I think save for two. Can I 376 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: try to guess who the two are? I think there's 377 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: two that aren't sure they got their guy. So you 378 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: would throw, for example, you would throw Lawrence will Pittsburgh 379 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: into that category. They just have to pick up the 380 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: first round so they believe it. So they were four 381 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: for fourign our division, four for four in the a 382 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: f C West, a f C South. It does take 383 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: a guy in the third round. Does Malik Willis count 384 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: for Tennessee. Or is that they're up in the airline. Well, 385 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: they have Tannehill, who's won a lot, so I'm not 386 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: counting them. And they've drafted Wellis who looks good. So 387 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: they feel like they have their quarterback for now and 388 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: they got their quarterbacks of Houston. That's one. But they 389 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: really like Davis Mills. They do, but I don't know 390 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: if that's smoked screen or not. I think they could 391 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 1: be convinced otherwise if there were opportunities. Just remember in 392 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: the trade with US, they opted to have Davis Mills 393 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: over Baker. They that Baker. I don't necessarily think that 394 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of reasons. I don't think that 395 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: that necessarily means what you're suggesting. I don't know that. 396 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: I think they they're trying to potentially be bad and 397 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: draft high. That would be interesting, so that you know. 398 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: The problem, you know with acquiring Baker if you're Houston, 399 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: is you're probably gonna win six or seven games with him. 400 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: I don't love Mills the way they do. Everybody keeps 401 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: telling me they love Mills. I know our guy Albright 402 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: thinks they're like gonna finished second in the South, which 403 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: is kind of crazy. In my view, nothing that he 404 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: said comes through, let's hope. So considering what he said 405 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: about US, Okay, so there's one other team that I 406 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: think that to fly with in the a f C East, 407 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: and that would f be Miami. Miami, that's it, and 408 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: they two US in his second year. That's it. Everybody 409 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: else either has a franchise quarterback or has recently drafted 410 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: a guy that they believe will be a franchise quarter 411 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: It's more loose than the NFC. There's probably five or 412 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: six they're in that situation. But in the a f C. 413 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: And the other thing about the a f C is 414 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: everybody's in their prime. There's not an aging superstar quarterback. 415 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: And the aging superstar quarterback in the a f C 416 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson and then Matt Ryan. That's it. Yeah, 417 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: that's it. That's it the end. Everybody else is in 418 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: their prime. Rocket ship go, it's loaded. It is. So 419 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: the consensus on the Bills I don't. I just don't 420 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: will like them a lot. But when Aaron Rodgers and 421 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: Tom Brady retire, I think with the exception of Matt Stafford, 422 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 1: and then maybe you know, a Kyler, maybe a Tray Lance, 423 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: maybe a dack with the exception. When but when those 424 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: guys are gone, all of the best quarterbacks are gonna 425 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: be in the A. F. C. Watson, Herbert, Alan, Borrow, 426 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: Lamar Mahomes, Mahmes, the six car Russ. We'll see if 427 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: card Card this is to me, if he doesn't become 428 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: elite this year throwing the ball to Davante Adams, Hunter, 429 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 1: Renfro and Darren Waller, He's not going to become elite now. 430 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: I think that his numbers are probably just wanted to 431 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: pull it up because a lot better than people think 432 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: they are. My hunch is that they are um that 433 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: they are better. Let let's see what he's at. So 434 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: the completion percentage isn't great, although he had some good ones. 435 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: So here's his his last four years. Completion in two thousand, 436 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: eighteen four thousand yards, nineteen and ten touchdowns. The interception 437 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: next year to eight four thousand yards sixty seven to nine. Yeah, 438 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: so he's I'll tell you what he reminds what it 439 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: looks like to me, it's kind of a Cousins thing, 440 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: and Cousins has a better touchdown interception, but it feels 441 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: a lot like kind of the Cousins he feels like 442 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: the cousins of the Age's like a sixty pcent guy. 443 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: Four thousand yards a year, twenty you know, mid twenties. 444 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: Touchdowns and low interceptions, Yeah, I man it last. So 445 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: the last four years is ninety touchdowns? Do I have 446 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: that right? Toys on fifty ninety touchdowns one interceptions. Yeah, 447 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: so it's two to one, little more than two. Not 448 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: prolific in the touchdown category, which should change this year, 449 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: I would think. So. All right, we're gonna get some 450 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: perspective behind enemy lines. Ellis Williams will join us coming 451 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: up next.

Now, Ellis, 464 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: thank you so much for the time. Good checking up 465 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: with you again, my friend. Let's just start with the 466 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: obvious and Nathan I were talking about this earlier in 467 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: the week. There is a w W E field to 468 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: this because Baker is down there. You've been around him 469 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: much of camp. What have you seen from Baker and 470 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: obviously you were here when he was here as well, 471 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: what what have you seen different from him from the 472 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: time he was here versus the time he's there. Is 473 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: it very similar? Would that make Baker the baby face 474 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: in this steel cage match? Let's call it. Think it 475 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: depends on the perspective. Brother. Listen, the true heels always 476 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: believe that they are right, that they are the baby faces. 477 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more so to answer your question, I 478 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: think I'm seeing shades of Baker at times in Cleveland. 479 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: Meaning let's go back to the start of the season 480 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: when he had a year in that Kevin sa Fanti 481 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: system and he felt very comfortable and in command. And honestly, 482 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: COVID has a lot to do with this kind of 483 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: the unfolken thing like these past two off scenes have 484 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: been so distorted by the limitations of the and for 485 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: good reason of the COVID nineteen policy. But we saw 486 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: just hone into that Kevin sa fancy offense, at least 487 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: in the preseason and training camp, right, and then we 488 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: all know how week one and Week two and then 489 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: toward Labraham until on and so forth. But just from 490 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: how he's operating, it took him a couple of weeks 491 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: to get used to this Ben McAdoo system. And I'm 492 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: sure he sells a long way to go. We're going 493 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: to figure that out soon, but I'm just seeing a 494 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: loose and ready to go Baker. Mayfield was keeping it 495 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: light with his teammates. They are buying into his leadership 496 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: style and all as well here in the Carolinas. But 497 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: that's what most teams would say. I feel like in 498 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: week one, right, no doubt, and and right now that 499 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: there have been no games played, there have been no 500 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: clutch situations faced, and neither accomplished or failed from that respect, 501 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: and that's going to define how the team goes beyond 502 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: that you mentioned the Ben McAdoo system, How would you 503 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: describe it to us? What are the Panthers going to 504 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: try to do on offense? That's the big mystery, right 505 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: But from what I've observed throughout training camp, you're gonna 506 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: see this offense try to get the ball out of 507 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: Baker's hands quickly. They got guys who can run a 508 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: lot of wonders, as in shallow crosses, those deep overs 509 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: across the middle of the field. He's gonna zone in 510 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: on the spot receiver Jarvist Andrew was this guy most 511 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: of them running there in Cleveland. There's a star receiver 512 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: here that if I say his name, no one's probably 513 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna know or care, but Baker is gonna look for 514 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: him on critical downs. Ah. Then there's this running back 515 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: named Christan McCaffrey that I have not seen play live yet. 516 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: Um one because of his injury history too, because of 517 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: when I got to Charlotte last year, and three because 518 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: they kept him in bubble wrap all preseason. He did 519 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: not play a single snap in the preseason and for 520 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: good reason. Christians the ultimate next factor these unguardable I 521 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: really don't care what anyone says. There's not a defender 522 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: and football that can go one on one with Christian 523 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: McCaffrey and he'll be the ultimate queen on the chessboard 524 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: in this matchup. And then you look across the line 525 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: and Miles Garrett is the ultimate equalizer. Yes, certainly, as 526 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: I think the McCaffrey part of it. You know, we 527 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: had a Nathan and interesting stat we were talking about 528 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: the first segment here where it's like a four point 529 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: differential with when he plays and when he doesn't um, 530 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: and so he is that You say he hasn't played 531 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: the preseason, which we know, but you have seen him 532 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: in camp. Does he look like himself for what himself 533 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: used to look like to you? Yeah, hunter percent, he 534 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: looks fresh. He his feet just moved faster than everyone's 535 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: if you think of him like like pistons and an engine. 536 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: And I'm no mechanic, but this is just something I've 537 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: been told before. They just fire off the ground quicker 538 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: than everyone else. If he touched the ground more in 539 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: the same amount of yards than any other defender, um 540 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: in multiple third and fourth down got to have its 541 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: situations in Cleveland during the joint practices when they weren't 542 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: fighting each other. Christian McCaffrey was the guy who would 543 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: make the reception to continue the drive. UM, I hope 544 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: anyone listening has picked Christi McCaffrey first overall or paid 545 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: the seventy dollars in fantasy auction money, because he's well 546 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: worth it and he's healthy, and until that changes, he's 547 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: going to be putting up the numbers that he's always has. 548 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: When you mentioned this offense, you know D J. Moore 549 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: has been an absolute model of consistency. He really is 550 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: the number one. Then you look at last year he 551 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: had more receiving yards than all the other receivers combined 552 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: in Carolina. Who and I know Robby Anderson's got a 553 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: thousand yard season under his belt two years ago. Who 554 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: else is going to step up? We know those two 555 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: you you mentioned a slot receiver earlier. I'm curious who 556 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: are the other guys are gonna step up in this 557 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: passing game beyond more Anderson and Christian McCaffrey. That's kind 558 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: of a mystery here, which is the fun part of this, 559 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: especially if you enjoy the receiver position in just offing 560 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: in general, which is probably most people. UM, I'll go 561 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: turbo fast here. They got a second year receiver and 562 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: Terence Marshall, who is currently like fifth in the rotation 563 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: but could pop at any moment. They're just waiting for 564 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: him to find his groove. The slow receiver, I was 565 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: mentioning a shy Smith. He'll be out there in eleven 566 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: personnel and the Browns will see a lot of him. Um. 567 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: There they traded for Vis. Vis should know who has 568 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: learned a lot in the eight days he's been here. 569 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: And that might even be generous, um, but you know, 570 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: it sounds like they've got some packages ready for him. 571 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: And then the name y'all may be waiting for is 572 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: Shard Higgins. And the beauty of Hollywood is His situation 573 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: right now is exactly how I remembered in Cleveland. He 574 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: might not be active on Sunday, or he could catch 575 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown. That's just how Hollywood is. And 576 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: we all know what Baker and him have and what 577 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: they're capable of. The rapport it's still present. He caught 578 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: one of the best balls in training camp, a fifty 579 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: yard posts that made a little stir because of what 580 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: happened afterwards. Ah, but this receiving corps is there's a 581 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: lot of unknowns, but there's also a lot of potential, 582 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: but all of that is gonna fall on Baker Mayfield 583 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: and then how Ben mcadood calls this thing. Now, Listen, 584 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: as we switched the other side of the ball when 585 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: Matt Rule was was hired there and given the big contract, 586 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: and then if you look at their drafts early, it 587 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: was defense, defense, defense, and I think probably in the 588 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: view of some pay there's fans maybe to a fault, 589 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: they went all in on that side of the ball. Um, 590 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: And I look at the defense now and it does 591 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: feel like and obviously it's gonna be a limited Brown's 592 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: team in terms of the way it's going to go 593 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: about its business, probably be very familiar to the Browns 594 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: teams you saw with Baker in terms of the approach. 595 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: But the one thing they do have is battering ram 596 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: running backs. And I'm wondering what you think Carolina's planned 597 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: will be to slow down that run game. That's a 598 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: great question, right. We We asked Phil snow that this morning. 599 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: They're they're defensive coordinator, Um, and you're talking about slowly 600 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: down the Browns run game, right, yeah, correct, correct, So yeah, Um, 601 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: He's had a lot of coach speak and he made 602 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: a lot of really good coaching points, but a lot 603 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: of it is the impossible right the assignment sound every 604 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: single play to be aware of the Nick Chubb cut 605 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: back and know that it takes multiple defenders to tackle him. 606 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: Good luck. And that's just how this just works with 607 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. You gotta make sure the Browns are in 608 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: third and long so that Nick Chubb didn't have his 609 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: way with the one person sticking down and then he 610 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: didn't even have time to get into Kareem Hunts. He 611 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: said that the Browns have three of the most counted 612 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: backs in the league. Forgive me, but I'm not even 613 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,479 Speaker 1: sure who that third back. He's a Ford, that the earnest, 614 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: the earnest Johnson. Yeah, by the way, exactly exactly so. 615 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: And then of course he mentioned that the best offence 616 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: of line of coach in football and Bill Callahan the 617 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: two guards in Joe Betonio and Wyatt Teller. He any 618 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: he complimented the center in the sense that the guards 619 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: are going to make sure he's doing okay. Um, he 620 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: just was complimentary across the board, which makes me think 621 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: that they probably have a plan, but you won't know 622 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: until there's live books. Ellis want to ask you about 623 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: defensively real quickly, and then one question about the offense defensively, 624 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: and they're both on the lines. You lose the son Reddick, 625 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: he leads the team with eleven acts, your gross mottos 626 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: is expected to step up. Have you seen any indication 627 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: that he can fill those shoes of Reddick and be 628 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: that compliment to Brian Burns? Not yet, And if I'm 629 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna be honest, I would keep an eye on a 630 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: linebacker named Frankie Lulu before the tour. And that is 631 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: more in the sense that they're probably gonna do this together. Right, 632 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: You're not going to replace the son Reddick with just 633 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: one cookie cutter player. That would be the dream scenario, 634 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: and perhaps it's possible, but they're going to give a 635 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: players a chance on that outside, depending on down a distance, 636 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: depending on the front. You guys know all this work. 637 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: So Brian's the guy. He's got a Simultaneously, they need 638 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: to find another number two rusher. While Brian Burns proved 639 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: that he's a number one rusher, and I don't mean 640 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: any disrespect by that, but he'd be the first to say, 641 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's yet to even hit double digit sacks. 642 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: And I say even like it's easy to do. But 643 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, if you're if you're an elite guy, you're 644 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: hitting twelve thirteen four team. So simultaneously, the pant his 645 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: pass rush has a lot to prove, but everyone in 646 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: the buildings topping and they will, all right. And then 647 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: on the other side, one of the Achilles heels for 648 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: this team was that offensive line. They moved Brady Christiansen, 649 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: who played tackle last year and was the third round pick, 650 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: into left guard. You got the centers. They brought in 651 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: Bradley Bozeman and I'm not sure about his injury satisfies 652 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: ready to go, signed former Brown Austin Corbett. And then 653 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: they draft obviously Equano in the first round out of 654 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: NC State. How do you see this line jelling? And 655 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: also can it become you know, good enough for this offense? 656 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: That's the goal, right Like in Madden, I'd be comfortable 657 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: being the Panthers and dropping back and doing what you want. 658 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: But when it happens, that remains to be seen. Who 659 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: has a huge welcome to the NFL moment in front 660 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: of him, Miles Garrett on one side, Davy and on 661 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: the other, y'all can deploy Um however you want. It's 662 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: gonna cause it's gonna disrupt football. That's that's the point. 663 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: I think this team will successfully run the football. I 664 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,479 Speaker 1: would hold I'm gonna be holding my breath just from 665 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: an observation standpoint whenever they dropped back the path because 666 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: we all understand what Miles is capable of and in 667 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: coming out he was a a plus rated run, run 668 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: blocker and past protector that needed work. He needs to 669 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: be refined and that takes time. He just doesn't have 670 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: anymore because it's weak one and this is the reality 671 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: of being in the league. Brady Cutchinson and left guard. 672 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: They believe in him. But you know he played all 673 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: over the place last year and then Austin Corp. But 674 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: you guys know exactly what he was. He remade himself 675 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,919 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Now let's see. So it makes sense 676 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: on paper, but this is gonna be the first true test, 677 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 1: and it's it's a heck of a one.

You know, we don't know what 702 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: to expect when you're getting ready, are you, because you 703 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: guys have to account well, I think is the staff. 704 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: We were definitely in tune with how we operate here 705 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: and that's been the easiest transition there is, knowing how 706 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: each other's works, knowing what to expect, knowing the rhythm 707 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: and the cadence of a work week. Um, you know 708 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: that that's been a good feeling to not have to ask, hey, 709 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: what do we do on Thursdays? Say what's Wednesday look like? 710 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: So we we have a good feel for how we 711 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: operate now in year three, right everything what's at the 712 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: top of your this week? Well, when you have a 713 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: lot of time to prepare, it's a lot of things 714 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: really right, but not really concerned, just excited, excited to play. 715 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,439 Speaker 1: I know we're prepared. We worked hard to get ready 716 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: for these guys. Big challenge for us, very good defense. 717 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: Do a lot of good things schematically, Um, there's a 718 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: lot of defense on tape. They play a lot of 719 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: different things, So just having to prepare for a lot 720 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 1: of different scenarios. Obviously, I don't think we'll see everything 721 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: they've done in last season, you know, in one game, 722 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: but when you have that extra time, it makes you, 723 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, dig a little deeper in your preparation. But 724 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm really excited for the challenge. Um. You know, obviously 725 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: have concerns, but you know, a guinta coach, you're always 726 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: going to be concerned. But we feel good about where 727 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: we are. We have a good feel for who these 728 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: guys are on defense. Um, we got a lot of 729 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: respect for him as well. It works, Um, which sounds 730 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: a little weird when you might think it's gonna be 731 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: a run oriented offense, but do you see that? Well, 732 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: how can you see that potential? And so far, you know, 733 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: I feel good about it. I did look at the 734 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: Maria's comments. I feel the same. We're a good group 735 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: on offense. I really like our men that that are 736 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 1: that we have. They work hard, a bunch of spark guys, 737 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: talented guys. Um. You know, it's hard to come out 738 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: and predict where we'll be, but we feel pretty good 739 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: about who we have in the room and where we're 740 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: heading in what direction we're in. You know, we obviously 741 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: established that we were a team that can run the football. Um, 742 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, we know that's something we can hang our 743 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: hat on. And it all starts with the run game. 744 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: About the passing game, but you guys have three maybe 745 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: four backs that can be explosive runners. Is that kind 746 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: of part of it? That's fireworks to me? Man one 747 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: of YRD plus runs. I think we led the league 748 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: in that those are pretty cool fireworks. It might be sparklers, 749 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 1: but they're there's still fireworks. You know, we'll take it. Now. 750 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: What have you guys seen from Ethan Cosa the last 751 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: few weeks episodes Nick went down, really just stepped in 752 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: and and the next man up mentality, didn't really miss 753 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 1: a beat. Really was impressed by him. Even back to 754 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 1: that game where we lost Nick, he stepped right in 755 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: and the first thing, you know, we said as the 756 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: staff after the game, as Wow, like Ethan stepped up 757 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: and played and we were were excited about having him 758 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: as a backup now as a starter. Yeah, Jack Jackson, 759 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: I mean he looks good and he looks really good. Um, 760 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: I know he's he's been here the whole time, he's 761 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: grinded through the rehab and now he's just back out 762 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: on the field looking good in practice, doing some good things. 763 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: Had a really good practice yesterday. I'm not sure where 764 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: that's going right now, but I know he's progressing each week. UM, 765 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes down to the end of 766 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: the week. But really happy and please before he's at 767 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: mar today and it's about Schwartz and fighting and dropping 768 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: out him, how was the coaching staffer guys helping them 769 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: and still have that confidence. He kind of turning around. 770 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: We know he can. You know, even um, in the 771 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: last ten days of practice, he's turned it around and 772 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: he's not put a ball on the ground. He's caught 773 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: the buck streaming well with confidence. And you know, sometimes 774 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: you go through little slumps in your in your career 775 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: and he's gotta find a way to get him out 776 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: of it. And I think he's he's found a way 777 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,800 Speaker 1: to get himself out of it as well. James adds 778 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: to your tight end room and just where is he 779 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: at as far as getting him up to speed to 780 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: where he can go out Sunday. Good thing about Jesse's 781 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: played a lot of football UM in the league, made 782 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: a lot of plays in the league, caught a lot 783 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: of touchdowns. UM. So he's been productive. UM. The other 784 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: thing is he's a smart guy. So as soon as 785 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: he comes in, UM, already you could tell he's gonna 786 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: be able to have a you know, a feel for 787 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. May not use him a ton, 788 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: but he'll definitely be available. And I feel good about 789 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: him knowing what to do and how to do it. 790 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: Return this season is going in Week one. But for 791 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: for you, you've seen him on the offensive side of 792 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: the ball. What do you see from him leading up 793 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: for this that makes you confident in his in his 794 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: versatility for both phases of the Yeah. The first thing 795 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: I got to say about Demetric is when you talk 796 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: about him, you just say he's a football player. The 797 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: guy can play, makes plays on the football. You know, 798 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: he's got a good skill set as a runner after 799 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: the catch, as a returner, as a receiver. Um, there's 800 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: a lot of things he does really well. UM, just 801 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: finding ways to you know, enhance his skill set and 802 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: and help him be productive. Really excited about where he's come. Um, 803 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, from a late round draft pick into a 804 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: guy that's going to potentially play a lot of snaps 805 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: for us on offense and on special teams. But he's 806 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: another guy just comes in and puts the work in 807 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: us really very coachable and does try to do everything 808 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: we asked him to do. Woods had enough time to 809 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: catch back up to be able to be utilized plus 810 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: play this weekend. I hope. So I like Mike, I 811 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,839 Speaker 1: think you know, the hamstring hurt him, um as far 812 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 1: as his development. Um, But he's a guy that that 813 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: a big guy that that creates separation at the top 814 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 1: of the route and has really good hands. Um. Hopefully 815 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: we get him back and you know, get him into 816 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: the mix here and he could be productive force. We 817 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 1: have a good young receiver room, you know, so hopefully 818 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 1: he'll be able to come in and contribute. All right, 819 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: there's a VP at the podium. Time for the matchup 820 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: the Browns offense versus this Panthers defense and doctor Z. 821 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 1: There are some advantages now we have boards. What a 822 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: treat all right, So let's just start with some of 823 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: the facts. Last year they were ninth in the NFL 824 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,919 Speaker 1: with thirty nine sacks. They were fourth against the past 825 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: a hundred ninety two a game. They were second in 826 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: total defense five point nine a game. Rush defense not 827 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: as good. They were eighteen. They gave up a hundred 828 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: fourteen yards of game four point one yards of carry, 829 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: twenty four points a game, twenty first in the NFL. 830 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: So how do you get there and you're not giving 831 00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: up yards? How do you give up a lot of 832 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 1: these points? Because decent on third downs? There were the 833 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: number nine third down defense. Well, go to the red 834 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: zone thirty five touchdowns on fifty two red zone trips 835 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 1: last year in the NFL, twenty touchdowns on twenty four 836 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: gold to go opportunities in the NFL. So they were 837 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: the worst in scoring situations. Gone from their thirty nine 838 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,879 Speaker 1: sacks a year ago. Hassan Reddick, he had eleven of them. 839 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: We already heard you tour Grossmato's not looking great. From 840 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: the book of Ellis Frankie Luvu also a guy he 841 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 1: last he's got seven a half sacks in his career. 842 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 1: He only had one and a half last year, and 843 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: he's touring thirty five pounds. They put him out there 844 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 1: on the edge. We are going to run the ball 845 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: right down his little le woo throat. So this is 846 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 1: a team that does have talent. Brian Burns, pro bowler 847 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: last year, the loan Pro bowler on the defense from 848 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: a year ago. He's got backback seasons with nine sacks. 849 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: You have Derrick Brown, the three technique first round pick 850 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: in seven overall, he's had a great preseason, but really 851 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 1: it has not materialized for him yet in the NFL. 852 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,800 Speaker 1: And then they brought in Matt Iannitas, who was last 853 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: year one in two sixteen games he had two and 854 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: a half sacks with the Washington Football team. Comes to 855 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 1: this year to the Carolina Panthers. But if you go 856 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: back his best two years two thousand and eighteen and nineteen, 857 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: he had sixteen sacks combined in those two seasons as 858 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 1: an interior disruptor. Big injury in twenty. Wasn't the same 859 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 1: guy last year. Um, so we'll see there. That's kind 860 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: of the guys of note upfront. That's really it. There's 861 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 1: nobody that had monster numbers, monster seasons that the most 862 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: sacks from a backup was Marquis Haynes, a defensive and 863 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: who had three a year ago. Gross Tomatoes himself had 864 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: three and a half. He was a second round pick. 865 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: In linebackers, they got two very good ones Shack Thompson. 866 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: Uh Last year he had a hundred four tackles, his 867 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: third straight season of a hundred and more tackles. He's 868 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: the second longest tenure Panther other than their long snapper, 869 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 1: former first round pick in two thousand and fifteen. They've 870 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: got Damien Wilson who they brought in from Jacksonville, who 871 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: had a career year last with the Jags hundred eight 872 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 1: tackles um and so he was a guy who also 873 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: was the starting mike for Kansas City when they won 874 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in nineteen. So those will be your 875 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: primary two linebackers. They brought in Corey Littleton, who's far 876 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: from his Pro Bowl days, but the strength is on 877 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 1: the back end. You got j C. Horne, who only 878 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: played three games last year, but as a stud eighth 879 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 1: overall pick in twenty one, broke his foot, but he 880 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: can play outside, he can play inside. I'm curious to 881 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: see if they have him follow a Marii Cooper. You've 882 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 1: got two very good safeties. Jeremy Chin back to back 883 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: seasons of over a hundred tackles, was second in the 884 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: Defensive Rookie of the Year voting back in two thousand 885 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: and twenty. And then they brought in Xavier Woods, former 886 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy, former Minnesota Viking who had a hundred eight 887 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: tackles last year in a career high three picks, ten 888 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: pass breakups. So those will be the safeties Horns one corner, 889 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: the other two Dante Jackson, their second round pick in 890 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen, and then C. J. Henderson, who 891 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: was the ninth overall pick in twenty Florida by the Jags. 892 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 1: They traded him to Carolina last year and he struggled 893 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: a little bit last year with Caroline seventy completion allowed 894 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 1: against them, quarterback rating allowed when targeted. That's the guy 895 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 1: that the Browns are gonna go after. They're gonna go 896 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: after him. Dante Jackson you can go after a little 897 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 1: bit as well, and he's not a great tackler in 898 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: the run game. If they end up with Miles hearts 899 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: Field on the field, he's there, nickel and a safety 900 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,319 Speaker 1: type guy. He struggled last year too, So this was 901 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 1: a pass defense that benefited from a lot from the 902 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 1: pressure generation generated by Reddick and Burns. You lose Reddick, 903 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: how does that impact this team? And one other thing 904 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: to note really quickly is they blitzed thirty seven percent 905 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: of the time all downs, fourth most in the NFL. 906 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: On first downs on third downs, both fourth most in 907 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: the NFL as well, so they are going to try 908 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: to manufacture pressure. If we can pick that up, there 909 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,839 Speaker 1: will be man to man opportunities for us to hit 910 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 1: chunk plays. They play a lot of Cover three. They 911 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,919 Speaker 1: let play a lot of Man one. They don't play 912 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: as much quarters as we do. We lead the league 913 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 1: in quarters, so that you can hit big plays down 914 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: the field them and I think the Browns are gonna 915 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,880 Speaker 1: want to run the ball right at those defensive ends 916 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: on the edges. Brian Burden is only two pounds Lavoo's 917 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 1: two thirty five grossromatos is to sixty. You can push 918 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,280 Speaker 1: them on the ends, and their corners are not great tacklers. 919 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 1: Chin is a baller. I'll watch out for Jeremy Chin. 920 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: But I think this is we can take advance of 921 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 1: those linebackers and coverage. If we can isolate the right 922 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: corners and coverage, I think we could do a lot 923 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: of work there. And I think we should be able 924 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 1: to run the ball, particularly on the edges against this team. 925 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: So I'd look for outside zone power, pulling the backside guard, 926 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: pulling the center out onto the edge, and maybe even 927 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,760 Speaker 1: getting the receivers in the jets and reverse motions getting 928 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: them on the edges as well. Alright, great job out 929 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: of you will do the Browns defense versus the Panthers offense. 930 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,439 Speaker 1: You'll hear from Joe Woods coming up next. You list 931 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:52,359 Speaker 1: to Cleve the Brown's Daily and Cleveland Cleveland Browns Daily, 932 00:48:53,840 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 1: ESPN Cleveland.

Now let's hear from our defensive coordinator, 944 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: Joe Woods from the podium. Um, what do you did here? Persons? 945 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 1: You know, I feel like we've seen you know, this 946 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: goes your practice against him? You know with o t 947 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: a training camp UM during the season, so definitely feel 948 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: familiar with what he's done when he was here. I 949 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: really try to focus on what he's doing in Carolina 950 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 1: because it's a different scheme they're gonna try to use 951 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: with them. Jeffrey, where does he specifically stressing the defense 952 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: and what he does now? McCaffrey definitely stresses the defense everywhere. 953 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,839 Speaker 1: John care if he's running it, if he's getting out 954 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,279 Speaker 1: on passes, um, if they aligned him outside as a receiver. Um, 955 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: he's an elite athlete capable of doing anything excuse me, power, quickness, speed, 956 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: all that. So definitely gonna have a plan for him. 957 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: If you're starting a rookie left tackle, but you're pretty 958 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: much go into every game thinking that Miles is gonna 959 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,879 Speaker 1: get double team, triple team, chipped, whatever else. And how 960 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 1: does that? How do you adjust to that? Definitely you 961 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: have to have a rush plan. Um, he's always on 962 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: the edge. They know where he's at, so we don't 963 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 1: want to We know he's good out on the edge, 964 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,479 Speaker 1: so you want him to be do what he does well, 965 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you want to move them around, 966 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: try to create matchups, try to make it hard on 967 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 1: them to find them in terms of what they're trying 968 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: to do with protections. So when you when you think 969 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 1: about Baker, is it possible that you can almost not 970 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: too much about him and know him too well and 971 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 1: and overthink it. How are you approaching it from that standpoint? 972 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 1: You know what? That's we the whole week when I 973 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 1: talked to the defense, I know that we all know Baker, 974 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:13,959 Speaker 1: he was here for a long time, but we really 975 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,240 Speaker 1: treat him like any other quarterback, you know, week to week. Um, 976 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,839 Speaker 1: we weren't talking about him and he different way, you know, 977 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: making it more than it is because they have you know, 978 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,799 Speaker 1: different players. You know, they have good receivers, they have 979 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 1: um good running back, you know, so they're talented. So 980 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: we have to worry about trying to stop everything they do. 981 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,760 Speaker 1: And he's just a part of it. He said, you know, 982 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: does he look different to you, um, Catlin than what 983 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,959 Speaker 1: you know of him from the earth. No, not really 984 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: from from my eyes, you know, And I'm not out 985 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: there studying quarterbacks in practice, you know, kind of worried 986 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: about the defense trying to make adjustments, but just from 987 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: general knowledge, he looks like the same guy. Um, we 988 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,879 Speaker 1: know he has the arm strength, he can make all 989 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 1: the throws. Um, we know he has escapability in the pocket. 990 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: You know, you've seen that in the preseason. And we 991 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 1: know that he can read defenses. So those are things 992 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: that we're familiar with with him being here, and those 993 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,320 Speaker 1: are things that have showed up with him in the preseason. 994 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Walker's name the starter, and Kevin said, Jacob is 995 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: still gonna play a bunch, So how do you go 996 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,800 Speaker 1: about figuring out how are you going to rotate those guys? 997 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: That's what we've always done, you know, for our three 998 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 1: years here, we've always rotated you know, a different positions, 999 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,839 Speaker 1: obviously d line, but the linebacker. That's what we've done. 1000 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: So we feel comfortable with that. And really, you know, 1001 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: you say eleven starters, but I feel like we have 1002 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 1: more than that. If you're out on the field, you're 1003 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,880 Speaker 1: good enough to be a starter for us, certain packages 1004 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: for each guy or is it just like serious or serious? 1005 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both, Yeah, a little bit 1006 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: of both. With multiple linebackers wrinkles into the defense this 1007 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,360 Speaker 1: year that you couldn't last year because you had so 1008 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,240 Speaker 1: many new guys and injured guys. Will we see a different, 1009 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: different brand of Joe Wood's defense this year for sure, 1010 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: and that was a positive. This We had more guys 1011 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 1: coming back, you know, our whole back seven, We had 1012 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,720 Speaker 1: our whole our linebacker crew Um and then the defensive 1013 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: vans a couple of tackles. So for the first time, 1014 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:07,880 Speaker 1: I felt like there was a lot of continuity in 1015 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,320 Speaker 1: terms of guys coming back. So they have more understanding 1016 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 1: of the system, which is going to allow us to 1017 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: add more. We don't want to do too much, but 1018 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: I think there's more things that we can do this 1019 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 1: year for see. For sure, Joe Woods. You know it's 1020 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,479 Speaker 1: funny there's so much talk about Baker. Well, let's remember 1021 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: Joe Woods is a pretty good scouting report of Baker 1022 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 1: from the last two years. And you've got a defense 1023 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: that's probably pretty hungry too. I think this defense just 1024 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: big picture buddy, before we get into the breakdown, it 1025 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: feels like this defense is well aware of what's going 1026 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 1: to be asked of it at the verse eleven games 1027 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,319 Speaker 1: and is up for it. It feels like they're feeding 1028 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 1: off of it. Yeah, and I think they are up 1029 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: for it. I think they believe in their ability to 1030 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 1: deliver on on what will be asked of them as 1031 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 1: an elite defense here for the Cleveland Browns in two 1032 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: and helped kind of carry this team through the Jacoby 1033 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 1: Brissette era until Deshaun Watson makes his return. So here's 1034 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: what you need to know about the Carolina Panthers. On offense. 1035 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: Ben McAdoo was taken over as the offensive coordinator now 1036 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: in the past, and this is what he showed in 1037 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 1: the preseason as well. The passing game is pretty much 1038 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,919 Speaker 1: straight dropbacks and quick game, not a lot of play 1039 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,360 Speaker 1: action as you would see in other systems. Uh. And 1040 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 1: he typically does not chip for his tackles. That is 1041 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 1: not something that was a staple of what he's done. Now, 1042 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 1: will he change that when you're starting Keem Equanu in 1043 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: his first ever game against Miles Garton Clowney, Yeah, maybe 1044 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 1: he will change that. I think you would, all right, 1045 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 1: So throw everything out. They were dreadful last year, bottom 1046 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: three offense in the NFL. You know, you only had 1047 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,880 Speaker 1: McCaffrey for seven games. You did not have good quarterback 1048 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,600 Speaker 1: play Sam Donald. They obviously hoped that an unleashed Baker 1049 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: Mayfield will be an improvement upon Sam Donald. Right there, um, 1050 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: So Baker last year sixty point five percent completions three 1051 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: thousand and ten yards, seventeen touchdowns, thirteen picks, eighty three rating. 1052 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: His best year was sixty three percent completions, sixty three yards, 1053 00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns, eight picks, and a ninety six quarterback 1054 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 1: rating twenty nine and thirty as a starter, and the 1055 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 1: picks well, fifty six of them. Since he's coming to 1056 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,839 Speaker 1: the league, most of any quarterbacks since two thousand and eighteen, 1057 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 1: and it's kind of linked to how well he performs 1058 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:17,279 Speaker 1: in his twenty nine wins, fifty two touchdowns, fifteen interceptions, 1059 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: thirty losses, forty one interceptions, forty touchdowns. When he's good, 1060 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: he is very good. When he is not, that's when 1061 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 1: you prey on him. And for the Browns, the way 1062 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,759 Speaker 1: to prey on him is to get him under pressure. 1063 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 1: And so last year under pressure and really for his career, 1064 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,400 Speaker 1: he's been at the bottom of league under pressure completions. Now, 1065 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,760 Speaker 1: twenty nine percent of the pressures generated against him last 1066 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:47,399 Speaker 1: year resulted in sacks. The league averages around like he 1067 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 1: was that was the highest in the NFL. Pressure is 1068 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 1: becoming sacks that was behind our line. Now. Pro Football 1069 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: Focus will break out for you who's responsible for sacks. 1070 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,720 Speaker 1: Baker was personally responsible for pressure at the second highest 1071 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 1: rate of any quarterback last year, and even was great, 1072 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: he was personally responsible fourth most. So he is directly 1073 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 1: responsible for top five in terms of Saxon Now behind 1074 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: a bad line, who will be responsible enough for their 1075 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,360 Speaker 1: own right in some of those sex They've got a 1076 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,479 Speaker 1: new starter at left tackle. They've got a new starter 1077 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: at left guard who was a tackle in college, Brady Christiansen, 1078 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 1: who's only played one game at guard in the NFL, 1079 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: and he struggled mightily as a rookie. Uh, They'll either 1080 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 1: have Pat elf Line, the former highest state Buckeye, or 1081 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 1: Bradley Bozeman, who had been a four year starter with 1082 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens at center. Corbett and then Taylor Moton, 1083 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 1: who's probably their best offensive line skill wise. What do 1084 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: you need to worry about? Two names? F three three 1085 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: d J. Moore the receiver. We talked about him. He's 1086 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,959 Speaker 1: got eleven hundred yards three straight seasons receiving um, never 1087 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 1: been the Pro Bowl, never more than four touchdowns in 1088 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,280 Speaker 1: a season, though, which I find to be very interesting. 1089 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 1: They will move him in and out. They'll be all 1090 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 1: over the formation to try to get matchups. Robbie Anderson 1091 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,399 Speaker 1: is the other receiver of note. Five nineteen yards last 1092 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: year only nine point eight yards per carry a reception. 1093 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry both career lows and last year more as 1094 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 1: we mentioned many times had more receiving yards in the 1095 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 1: rest of the wide receivers on the roster combined. Now, 1096 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: Anderson went from a thousand, ninety six yards in twenty 1097 00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 1: to five nineteen last year. But he is a vertical threat. 1098 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 1: He's got ten touchdowns of more than forty yards since 1099 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: he entered the league in two thousand and sixteen. That 1100 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 1: second in the NFL since that period, so you gotta 1101 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,040 Speaker 1: keep an eye on him. Other than that, not a 1102 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 1: lot of guys that you know. Shy Smith. We heard 1103 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:30,919 Speaker 1: he's got six sketches for a hundred and four yards 1104 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 1: of six round pick last year. Maybe he plays in 1105 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: the slot. Lavisca Channald the former second rounder of the 1106 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: Jags back to back seasons over six hundred yards, but 1107 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 1: they traded him for a can of beans, a sixth 1108 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 1: and a six and twenty four and a seventh and 1109 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: twenty three. Very odd how they just dumped him. He's 1110 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: got back to back years, the six six hundred yards receiving. 1111 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, like it's not like he was. He was. 1112 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: He was a great player at Colorado. He's somebody that 1113 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 1: I think if the if the Panthers want to help 1114 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 1: keep Christian McCaffrey fresh, you know, they brought in a 1115 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: power compliment to him in Deonta Foreman as a running back. 1116 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 1: Is the two thirty five big guy out of Texas. 1117 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 1: Should not somebody that can They can line him up 1118 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: in the backfield and run a lot of stuff. They 1119 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: would to run for McCaffrey and keep McCaffrey a little 1120 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 1: bit fresher um then the other guys. McCaffrey, that's really 1121 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 1: that's the offense right there. Right he's missed twenty three 1122 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 1: the last thirty three games. But when he is healthy 1123 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen, nineteen hundred and sixty five total 1124 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: yards and thirteen touchdowns twenty nineteen when he was Pro 1125 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 1: Bowl and first team All Pro, two thousand three yards 1126 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,920 Speaker 1: and nineteen touchdowns from scrimmage both led the NFL. We 1127 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 1: said earlier it's worth four points forty yards of offense 1128 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: last year and a guy who catches it over six 1129 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,040 Speaker 1: a game for his career a hundred and fourteen total 1130 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: yards and one touchdown per game, and he is the 1131 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: only player in NFL history to average more than fifty 1132 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 1: yards rushing and fifty yards receiving a game for their career, 1133 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 1: the only one. Stupefying. Yeah, that a hundred and thirteen. 1134 00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 1: By the way, everybody else who's ever averaged at after 1135 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 1: for total yards for game after five seasons is in 1136 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He's on that trajectory. He just 1137 00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: got to stay healthy and he's missed much of the 1138 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 1: last two years. One thing to note, tight ends have 1139 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 1: often been a Brown's Achilles heal. Nobody really have note here. 1140 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 1: Ian Thomas lad the tight ends with a d eight yards. 1141 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: Last year Tommy Tremble their third round pick out of 1142 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. He had twenty catches for a hundred eighty yards, 1143 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: so not really featured in the passing game. They do have, Hollywood. 1144 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: We mentioned Terris Marshall, who was a guy that we 1145 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 1: both like coming out of LSU. Was banged up, but 1146 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,280 Speaker 1: he's got size and Speedi's but to really struggle. Last 1147 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: year he ever's eight yards of catch, which is a 1148 00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: stunning number for a guy with that That size speed combo. 1149 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: Not a great offense. D J. Moore, Christian McCaffrey. You 1150 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 1: neutralize them, feel like you're gonna be just fine. You 1151 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 1: get pressure on Baker Mayfield, he will give you the football. 1152 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,320 Speaker 1: We know that that's what we've got to do. But 1153 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 1: he can still rip it. You can rip it. You 1154 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 1: can still rip it. You can make a lot of throws. 1155 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: He it's on a hot streak. You can ride it. 1156 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 1: We've seen it, certainly.

That's right, That's right, baby. Fantasy football 1170 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 1: season is year. So who do we want to take 1171 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 1: a look at here in week number one? And let's 1172 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 1: just start with all of our Browns fans out there. 1173 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: Who are we looking for from the Browns in Week one? 1174 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: Who can you get in your line up? I give 1175 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,440 Speaker 1: you three, maybe four in a flex capacity with Kareem Hunt, 1176 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 1: but definitely start Nick Chubb. Definitely start Amari Cooper. I 1177 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: think we have a lot of things cooked up for 1178 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 1: Mr Cooper, and I think he's going to have eight. 1179 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,080 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a nice season. I think 1180 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 1: he's actually gonna be a better fantasy wide receiver than 1181 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people think. Go down, you get Hi 1182 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 1: as a fourth receiver, and I think, and I think 1183 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,919 Speaker 1: at that point, I think he becomes a very very 1184 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 1: good quarterback for you. I mean, i'm sorry wide receiver 1185 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,919 Speaker 1: for your teams, because you're drafting at a point where 1186 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: there's really no risk with where you drafted him, and 1187 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 1: then he gives you the upside to be a very 1188 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 1: productive player for you as well in this offense where 1189 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: he is the clear number one, most will be the 1190 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 1: number one most targeted wide receiver. So that's that's where 1191 01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm at right now. That's what I think about from 1192 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 1: the Browns standpoint. Let's go into some other guys that 1193 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: I like at various positions this week, and we will 1194 01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: start at the quarterback position, and I think, look, you 1195 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 1: should have a great quarterback in fantasy football this year. 1196 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 1: There are a ton of them. I am gonna start 1197 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 1: basically everybody who drafted to be your starter. And that's 1198 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 1: this is a position where you say, okay, yeah, but 1199 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: that's who should be starting for you. If you got Mahomes, 1200 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 1: Alan Herbert Jackson, Murray Burt's, Brady Burrow, Roger Stafford, Russ, 1201 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,919 Speaker 1: Trey Lance. You know, I like Dak I like Derek Carr, 1202 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 1: I like Kirk Cousins. That's about probably where I'd cut 1203 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the list off and things in terms of things that 1204 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with. But that's where you are at the 1205 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 1: quarterback position. Running back, the most important position in all 1206 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 1: of fantasy football. Who were we liking this week? Well, 1207 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 1: you know who you're definitely starting. We know those guys. 1208 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 1: But guys that I also like. James Conner against the 1209 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs to Arizona last year, all those touchdowns gone. 1210 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Is Chase Edmonds. He's the main man there. Canny stay healthy, 1211 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,560 Speaker 1: that's the question. More flyers. Elijah Mitchell against Chicago, I 1212 01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 1: think that the Niners route them. Remonde stevens In is 1213 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 1: becoming a name to keep an eye on out of 1214 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,240 Speaker 1: New England. Will see what his role is in the 1215 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 1: passing game there um. And then I also do like 1216 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: I like Travis e t N. I think that he's 1217 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna have a nice here. And I think Clyde Edwards 1218 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 1: Lair is also significantly undervalued right now. Uh, Damian Pierce 1219 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: as well getting to start for Houston, but how much 1220 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: will he get. I have a feeling that the Indianapolis 1221 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Colts are gonna put a hurting on the Houston Texans. 1222 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,800 Speaker 1: So let's go to wide receivers. And then again, you 1223 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 1: know who your studs are, Guys kind of in the middle. 1224 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Love Hollywood Brown against Kansas City with Kyler Murray now, 1225 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 1: uh big big, I'm on ros st Brown guy, Gabe 1226 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: Davis tonight, I love that guy. I think he's gonna 1227 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: have a very nice here. Darnell Mooney great value there 1228 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: is the number one target for the Chicago Bears. Again, 1229 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: I said, I've already on the record, like in Amari 1230 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 1: Cooper as well. And then if Alan Lazard whenever he's healthy, 1231 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up having a very nice 1232 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: here in Green Bay. Somebody just keep an eye on Stash. 1233 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,640 Speaker 1: And if Michael gallops on the waiver wire in your 1234 01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 1: leagues right now, go pick him up. Go pick him 1235 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,560 Speaker 1: up in just stash him. Looks like he's gonna be 1236 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 1: ready to go in week number one to no surprise 1237 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: for you asked wanted me to draft like Chrysal Lobby, 1238 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 1: like as early as the third round in like, let's 1239 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: just ask let's relax here. We got a good football team. 1240 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Let's not get crazy. He's got a lot of weapons 1241 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: down there to throw too as well, so and they're 1242 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how much they're gonna throw the ball, 1243 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 1: Yeah no, probably not real quickly tight ends. Speaking of weapons, 1244 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,360 Speaker 1: I like Cole Comett. I think Cole Comett has a 1245 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: chance to have a very very nice season, uh for 1246 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,360 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bear. Still looking for his first ever touchdown, 1247 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 1: and he's somebody that I like. I think the Chief 1248 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 1: is not a bad option for you this week as well. 1249 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 1: For the Browns, Um T J. Hockenson, Dallas Goddard, you 1250 01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,480 Speaker 1: know those guys. But I think if you're looking for 1251 01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 1: a guy to start this week, I like Cold Comet 1252 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,439 Speaker 1: against the forty Niners. I think he's a nice little play. 1253 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: Zach Ertz if he's good to go for Arizona against 1254 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City as well, and then Kickers k New York 1255 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 1: Defense Browns, Yeah, I like. I like both of those 1256 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 1: picks as well. Um. In worldly news here within the 1257 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 1: last hour, Queen Elizabeth the Second has died. Um. She 1258 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 1: died at Belmore Castle over there. Um. That's it's an 1259 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 1: interesting thing. So yeah, ninety six years of age. God 1260 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 1: rest the queen as well. So that they lowered the 1261 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 1: flag at Buckingham Palace, and at the time that they 1262 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: did it, there was a rainbow that was captured that 1263 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 1: was right over and then it disappeared shortly thereafter. So 1264 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: it is uh the stuff that is coming out of 1265 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: Buckingham Palace, His Majesty the King. So King Charles is 1266 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,680 Speaker 1: the head of the monarchy at this point. It is Um, 1267 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 1: it will be this way for a very very long time. Now. 1268 01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth was the longest running monarch in the history 1269 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 1: of the British monarchy and and the the other part 1270 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 1: of it now is Charles William and William Marty as 1271 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,840 Speaker 1: a son. So you're gonna you could go three generations. 1272 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,439 Speaker 1: You're going to go at least three generations without another 1273 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: queen after king for all this run fourteen US presidents 1274 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 1: she met with.

It's fifty two. Yeah. I 1279 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,400 Speaker 1: enjoyed that show The Crown. That was great.

Yeah, 1305 01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, don't have a light. Normally we crushed 1306 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,560 Speaker 1: the guy. The teams make the playoffs. We've been pretty 1307 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,919 Speaker 1: good about it. I'm not worried about it. I feel 1308 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 1: like the questions last year, but well, I think we 1309 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: all had us to win the super Bowl, So you 1310 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: know that. I'm trying to um you have some interesting questions, 1311 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 1: like like over hyped but doesn't make the playoffs. That's 1312 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 1: a tricky one for me. I'm looking at this that 1313 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: that's a bit of a team that I know where 1314 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 1: you're at. I'm just trying to think about so so 1315 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: that you've you've I like what you've done here. I 1316 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,600 Speaker 1: think this is interesting. All right, Season prediction time, and 1317 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,320 Speaker 1: we'll start with a couple of easy ones. Maybe Offensive 1318 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Player of the Year Bishop. I'm gonna start with you today, 1319 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:56,719 Speaker 1: Nicholas Jamal Chubb wo unleashed nineteen yards touchdowns. My god, 1320 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 1: it's time time carries. It's time to see that. I 1321 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,839 Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna see that, probably not, but sometimes 1322 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 1: you do have to say things. You want to speak 1323 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,720 Speaker 1: it into existence. I'd love to see three carries out 1324 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:16,640 Speaker 1: of Nick Chubby run them up in a in a 1325 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 1: non the other one I think for this because you're 1326 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 1: you're obviously going away from m VP. To me, Jonathan 1327 01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 1: Taylor is going to have he could be right at 1328 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 1: two thousand again very easily. Justin Jefferson. I think he's 1329 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna try to pull off a Cooper Cup 1330 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:36,280 Speaker 1: and win the Triple Crown under Kevin O'Connell. I have 1331 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:40,920 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. Oh god, I hope that gross. It's gotta 1332 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,800 Speaker 1: play us twice, dude. I'm gonna tell you the so 1333 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 1: not not only him, but like for the fantasy kids, 1334 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,120 Speaker 1: talking to my people down there, and I'm most already drafted, 1335 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,920 Speaker 1: but te Higgins gonna have a year. I know I'm 1336 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 1: big on te Higgins. I've got a lot of stock. Yeah, Piggy, Okay, 1337 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 1: few weeks out of the year, they can be Okay, 1338 01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 1: they just can't. They won't do it against us. It'll 1339 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, We're fine. Yeah. I mean, in order 1340 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 1: to win that, you have to get you know, you 1341 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:12,240 Speaker 1: have to be from a receiver standpoint, he'd have to 1342 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,479 Speaker 1: cup it. From a running back standpoint, you it's got 1343 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: to be Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry. You know, you've got 1344 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,720 Speaker 1: to be close to two thousand and twenty touchdowns is 1345 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 1: what it takes. What are Nick's most carries in a season, 1346 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 1: two hundreds. He is the only running back in the 1347 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: history of the NFL, though, to average five yards to 1348 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 1: carry or more in each of his first four seasons. 1349 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 1: The only other player to do that Panther legend Cam Newton. 1350 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 1: Of course, he was a quarterback. Well, what is I'm 1351 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 1: just I wanted to pull up Jonathan Taylor. He had 1352 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,519 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nineteen and he ran for fourteen 1353 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 1: nine four, won the Russian Talk, and eight touchdowns. He 1354 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:59,240 Speaker 1: should have So you said, okay, so Taylor. Jonathan Taylor 1355 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: last year was three thirty two, So it's in play. 1356 01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 1: I want to give you a staff that's gonna blow 1357 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:06,640 Speaker 1: your mind, because the last time I give to you 1358 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: this blew your mind. In eight games last year eight 1359 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had two hundred and nineteen carries, nine thirty 1360 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 1: seven yards and ten touchdowns rushing. He would finish the 1361 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 1: year ninth I think in the NFL and rushing, and 1362 01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 1: he played eight games. You wonder why A. J. Brown's 1363 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 1: doing cartwheels. He would have been on a fifty carries. 1364 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 1: That's right. The year before, three hundred seventy eight carries, 1365 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:38,360 Speaker 1: two thousand, twenty seven yards, seventeen touchdowns. Yeah, alright, guys, 1366 01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: up next in our season predictions, defensive Player of the Year, 1367 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,280 Speaker 1: and I got a feeling we're all going to be 1368 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: on the same page, same same It's a different level. 1369 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Even everything with him, he's just real 1370 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 1: comfortable on off the field, knows exactly who he is. 1371 01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: I think he loves the challenge of it. All of 1372 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 1: the defense is gonna have to be great. Um. Yeah, 1373 01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 1: I think you could get twenty sacks. I think it's 1374 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,640 Speaker 1: in play, all right, Zagura, this one is for you. 1375 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:14,479 Speaker 1: We'll start off with Coach of the Year. This is 1376 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 1: an interesting one, a lot of options. You gotta it's 1377 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: a coach of the year. You you can't be somebody 1378 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 1: who is expected to be good, So you have to 1379 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,439 Speaker 1: come a little bit off the pace in order to 1380 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,560 Speaker 1: pull that off. So I wrote down somebody, Do you 1381 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:32,439 Speaker 1: have somebody? Nick Sirianni Philadelphia Eagles, wrote a town I met. Yeah, 1382 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 1: I wrote these down before I even started. It's because 1383 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,680 Speaker 1: you you have to be somebody. The problem Staley I had. 1384 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Staley is my other one, Brand Staley with the Chargers. 1385 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 1: You like him more than I do. I think you 1386 01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: have to be you have to be a team that 1387 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 1: isn't being talked about and then all of a sudden, 1388 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: you are the fanski second time in three years. Let's go. 1389 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 1: I'd be beautiful, but no, I think Sirianni has kind 1390 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 1: of everything. I think they're gonna win that division. And um, 1391 01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 1: I like the look at that team they were here. 1392 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,599 Speaker 1: They were awfully impressive off the bus. I don't love Hurts, 1393 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,479 Speaker 1: but within that division you might not need to be great. 1394 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Josh McDaniels. I can see that too. 1395 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,240 Speaker 1: I can see them. I can see him having a 1396 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 1: big year, just a tough division up next. For some reason, 1397 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 1: w you said that, I thought you're talking about the 1398 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: guy in Denver because I thought mcause McDaniels was then 1399 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:26,439 Speaker 1: there before I thought he was for some reason, I 1400 01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,960 Speaker 1: handed Denver he's in. He's the Raiders. So I'm not 1401 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: quite as bullish on your pick. I was thinking him 1402 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: or Peterson with Jacksonville. Yeah, because I think Jacksonville can 1403 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:42,720 Speaker 1: only go up. Up next, We'll throw it right out there, 1404 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 1: big matster ball right in the middle, m b P 1405 01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:51,840 Speaker 1: prediction bow Bishop Patrick Mames. I think he balls out. 1406 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm very bullish on the Chiefs this year. Um, I 1407 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,720 Speaker 1: think I don't understand all of the hype that's gone 1408 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:03,320 Speaker 1: to the Bills. I think he could be lights agree 1409 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, I just feel like, yeah, it's weird. 1410 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be better without Hill. I think 1411 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,639 Speaker 1: they have a ton of weapons. I love sky More 1412 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,760 Speaker 1: in that fit. I don't think he's gonna be worried 1413 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 1: about trying to get it to Tyreek Deep. I think 1414 01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:19,439 Speaker 1: he'll take easy stuff. I think he'll be a high 1415 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 1: completion percentage Andy Reid run in the Ships forty eight 1416 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns feels like it's in plays the girl. Justin Herbert 1417 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,760 Speaker 1: gonna die on that hill with the Chargers, aren't. I 1418 01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,559 Speaker 1: think he's really good. I mean I've been listen. I've 1419 01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 1: had a front row seat to see a lot of 1420 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks play this game. And what Justin Herbert did in 1421 01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 1: l A last year with his size, with his athleticism, 1422 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 1: his cannon, the game he had against the Raiders at 1423 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 1: the end when he made every throw you had to 1424 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 1: make over and over and over again. I'm a big 1425 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. I think he is a mega star in 1426 01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 1: the making. Also, Tom Modley's best scouting, the former Secretary 1427 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: of the Navy, best scouting ever that trade the farm 1428 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,479 Speaker 1: for Herbert. Prior to that, Jeff, he did say that 1429 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,960 Speaker 1: he did love him. Remember that. All right, guys, next, 1430 01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:12,280 Speaker 1: who's yours? Both of you? You guys are my homies. 1431 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 1: I just think that there's something that offense like they 1432 01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,559 Speaker 1: see this as a challenge, and Andy Reid I might 1433 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 1: do is find his coaching work yet doing this, I 1434 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: like it? Uh, Division winners time. Okay, do you want 1435 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 1: to do that or do you want to do the 1436 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:35,320 Speaker 1: other two? First surprise team and then the one. Let's 1437 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: do my surprise team though, is not a team that 1438 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,519 Speaker 1: actually in predicting to go to the class, but like 1439 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 1: they would be a surprise, Like that's who I think 1440 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,720 Speaker 1: could be, Like the sleeper team. Is that fair or 1441 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,840 Speaker 1: is actually somebody I put into the playoffs? No, I 1442 01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think it has to be 1443 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,640 Speaker 1: defined that way. So my my surprise will not be 1444 01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,080 Speaker 1: on there. This is a team that's better than you think. 1445 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, sort of my surprise the Detroit Lions. 1446 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm in baby hard knocks. Let's go. I think they 1447 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,839 Speaker 1: have a chance. Here's one thing that is really troubling 1448 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:13,360 Speaker 1: about them their win total six and a half, which 1449 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you, It feels like they're gonna be over 1450 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,400 Speaker 1: I think they could finish second in that division. I 1451 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 1: think it's in play. Cent of the money is on 1452 01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 1: the over mm hmm highest in the league. Not great, 1453 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:31,400 Speaker 1: not great, not great, But maybe it happens, Maybe it does, 1454 01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,360 Speaker 1: it could who knows. UM. I think, um, I got 1455 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,360 Speaker 1: I got two for you both in the a f C. UM. 1456 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,599 Speaker 1: I think it's funny listening to national people talk about 1457 01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,120 Speaker 1: us as if we're going to be one in seven 1458 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 1: in the first eight, number thirty two this weekend. I'm 1459 01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: seeing that. Come on. I mean, there's a lot of 1460 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 1: just hates. I get it, but I mean, I mean, 1461 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 1: even because had us winning one of our first eight 1462 01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 1: and I thought, geez, because that's aren't for me to believe. 1463 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,560 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be in the mix to be 1464 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,680 Speaker 1: around five hundred, maybe a little better by the time 1465 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,240 Speaker 1: too Sean comes back. I think we have a chance 1466 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:11,360 Speaker 1: of surprise. The other team that I think has a 1467 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,240 Speaker 1: chance to surprise and be really frisky's Jacksonville. I like that. 1468 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,519 Speaker 1: I think they could. I think they're gonna finish second 1469 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,200 Speaker 1: in the a f C South, miss the playoffs, but 1470 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,639 Speaker 1: second in the South. The more I read about them, 1471 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 1: the more I think they're going to be a factor. 1472 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:31,000 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings. We go back to the Norris. I've 1473 01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,680 Speaker 1: got them in the playoffs. Spoiler alert, Yeah, I've got 1474 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings as my surprise. Alright, bust, Yeah, one team 1475 01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,960 Speaker 1: overhyped doesn't make the playoffs Tennessee. I think it's I 1476 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 1: think it's over. I don't have a problem of that. 1477 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,880 Speaker 1: I don't have them in either this year. It feels 1478 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 1: like they've gone over um over hyped. Bust. It does 1479 01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 1: feel like it's possible. It's over in Dallas. Dallas, that's 1480 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 1: my other one. I don't know that anybody thinks that 1481 01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna, you know, win everything or not. We'll see, 1482 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: and I'll give you one more just just weird vibes. 1483 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 1: And I don't I don't necessary. I trust the people 1484 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,519 Speaker 1: that are running it very well. But I do wonder 1485 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 1: about San Francisco with Lance. I'm just curious how that's 1486 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 1: gonna be. They're so good everywhere else. But I think 1487 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,200 Speaker 1: there's more to keeping Garoppolo than just on the surface. 1488 01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 1: You know, even Lance saying that it initially wasn't crazy 1489 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: about Garoppolo being back, like they're just I don't know, 1490 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: it's just weird. I think the way that they handled 1491 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 1: all that was very, very strange. I think they'll overcome 1492 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,599 Speaker 1: it because they're expertly coached and their roster is really 1493 01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 1: really good, and I think that I have them in 1494 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I don't know that. Just kind of 1495 01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 1: curious about that team. By the way, I'd also like 1496 01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 1: to throw in Arizona team that could. They're terrible without 1497 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 1: Hopkins and they're without Hopkins for a while though, Yeah, 1498 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 1: that's true. Still, they have all that talent quarterback and 1499 01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,200 Speaker 1: coach gonna get along or is coach gonna get fired 1500 01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:05,599 Speaker 1: because quarterback draws another temper tamps all right, coaches seat, 1501 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:14,680 Speaker 1: that's the hottest entering twenty two. I think it's alright, So, 1502 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, that was my initial answer, But is it 1503 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,040 Speaker 1: really like, is Jerry going to admit he's wrong? To me? 1504 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: He's the first fired, right, he's got a hot seat. 1505 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,479 Speaker 1: I'll tell you another one, like playing back into your 1506 01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals like Kingsbury. I know they just gave him money, 1507 01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,680 Speaker 1: but I don't know that Kyler's just crazy about him, 1508 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 1: as everybody seems. It seems like they're a little contentious. 1509 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you if it goes off the rails and 1510 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a hot seat for this 1511 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 1: human But like Belichick, like this has gone really bad. 1512 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,479 Speaker 1: Any way, I'm gonna throw them into my bus, Collins, 1513 01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 1: since we're just adding a bunch of teams, start a 1514 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,160 Speaker 1: bust called Patriots. Yeah, it looks like they suck when 1515 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 1: you look at the paper. It does, but you don't, 1516 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:04,719 Speaker 1: you know he's Belo. Who's your hot seat? I'm gonna 1517 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 1: go pile back on again. NFC Championship game, NFC Championship game. Yeah, 1518 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 1: I think I think the true hot seat is the 1519 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,639 Speaker 1: guy we're playing Sunday, Matt Rule, that's the true hot seat. 1520 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,439 Speaker 1: Um McCarthy is very interesting. I just don't know if 1521 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: Jerry Admitti is wrong two years in on such a 1522 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 1: big one, So I'll go that rule. I'm gonna say 1523 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,439 Speaker 1: Cliff just because I hate Cliff. I don't hate, I 1524 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,800 Speaker 1: just don't like him. It's a nice enough guy, I think. Yeah, 1525 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:41,640 Speaker 1: I just don't think you just qualified? Girl. What did 1526 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 1: you have? I had, Mike McCarthy, I've got this all 1527 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 1: on the spreadsheet. Give don't worry, alright, all right, up 1528 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:54,639 Speaker 1: next division winners. We'll start in the a f C East. 1529 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: Uh the Girl Buffalo same? All right? Good Buffalo? All three? Okay? Uh? 1530 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:15,920 Speaker 1: The a f C South Indianapolis Colts same. Who are 1531 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,679 Speaker 1: my other options? Tennessee, Tennessee and Houston. It's pretty awful, 1532 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:27,519 Speaker 1: it is? Yeah? All three? Okay? Yeah? Uh, a f 1533 01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 1: C West Kansas City Chiefs. Same. There's no way we're 1534 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 1: getting all these right. I can't. This will go against 1535 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 1: every I wouldn't think we'd get all these right now, 1536 01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 1: but it's I don't know who knows. Yeah, we'll go same. 1537 01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,960 Speaker 1: I can't believe you didn't die on the San Diego. 1538 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 1: Don't get there. You get they're coming. NFC East, are 1539 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 1: we doing our division? Or no? Philly? We do ours 1540 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 1: last Philly? Philly? Yeah, yeah, yep, okay, the North Green 1541 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 1: Bay Baby, but I don't feel great about it. I 1542 01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:22,919 Speaker 1: do yeah Green Bay? Uh South, NFC South Bucks Bucks bucket. 1543 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,000 Speaker 1: Every year there's the worst of first divisional winner. Who's 1544 01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 1: the worst to first? We don't have that here, And 1545 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:34,200 Speaker 1: the most logical worst to first is in our division, Baltimore. 1546 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,880 Speaker 1: That's the easiest road map, but there's always one who 1547 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:39,880 Speaker 1: is and I don't it's hard to find it. This year. 1548 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:41,439 Speaker 1: Baltimore is the only one that you can talk to 1549 01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: yourself into. What about the Chargers, I don't think they 1550 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 1: were worse Denver Denver Denver was They never would be 1551 01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,680 Speaker 1: a decent worst to first if you believe in that. 1552 01:22:54,280 --> 01:23:01,479 Speaker 1: Uh NFC West Kids, Niners. Course, ram It just Rammit, 1553 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Ramit agreed Rammitt. So we have one disacreement out of 1554 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 1: all of these division winners. There's just no way it's 1555 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 1: gonna happen. But this is what we like, all right, Bengals, Bengals, 1556 01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: the North Okay, uh, let's see. Do you want to 1557 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 1: do other playoff teams? Wild cards, NFC wild card, AFC 1558 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,720 Speaker 1: wild card. I don't know. NFC wild cards. I got 1559 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:37,840 Speaker 1: the Rams, the Saints, and the Vikings. I have the 1560 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 1: forty Niners, the Saints and the Vikings. So we have 1561 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 1: the exact same we both in Dallas missing it. We 1562 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:49,960 Speaker 1: have the exact same NFC playoffs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I 1563 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 1: don't even know. I haven't even thought about that. Okay, 1564 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,840 Speaker 1: all right. In the a f C, I have the 1565 01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 1: three wild cards being the Chargers, the Anco's and let's 1566 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 1: go Brownies.

But they 1573 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:33,760 Speaker 1: have a weird No, they have a bad secondary. Great, 1574 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: They've got two great players up front. Their linebackers are okay, 1575 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:40,680 Speaker 1: their secondary is very average. Their receivers are pretty good, 1576 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 1: their offensive line sucks. They've got a great running back. 1577 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 1: And that's it's a weird possible. Liz Frank does he 1578 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,080 Speaker 1: have one of those that's what. Yeah, it came out 1579 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:54,320 Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, and he's been dealing with some weird 1580 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:56,479 Speaker 1: it's some type of list. When you look at their 1581 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,840 Speaker 1: too deep, you go, what a strange construction? This is 1582 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:05,600 Speaker 1: truly all right? Uh a f C NFC Championship game predictions. 1583 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 1: I've got Chiefs over Bangals, I've got Packers over Bucks. 1584 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 1: Oh in the games?

That's boring. 1599 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,519 Speaker 1: There's there's issues like they may rear their ugly head. 1600 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's Tom Brady and it is not a 1601 01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,160 Speaker 1: good scene there. Rogers doesn't have his weapons. That's how 1602 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I picked Philly. Philly at least is interesting. I don't 1603 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:33,519 Speaker 1: know alright, super Bowl champs, where do you got Chargers? Chiefs? 1604 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,360 Speaker 1: Give it the Chargers?

This is who? 1607 01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,160 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, I don't like anybody in the NFC. 1608 01:26:53,439 --> 01:27:03,720 Speaker 1: Can the winner Kansas have Buffalo beating Kansas?
