There's the lineup. This is our 21 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: final preseason pod. Brandon and He've been on a bunch 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: of these awards. 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,639 Speaker 4: Always a fun time when we get to talk about these. 24 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 4: We're going to start with Offensive Rookie of the Year. 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 4: For most of these, if not all, Brandon is going 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 4: to give us the general criteria, the landscape as to 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 4: who normally wins this award, and Brandon's going to lay 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 4: that out right now, starting with Offensive Rookie of the Year. 29 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the historic profile is important helps us 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 5: narrow the field sometimes, so for Offense Rookie of the Year. 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 5: We love quarterbacks here. Quarterbacks a one for the last 32 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 5: eight seven to fourteen, ten of twenty, like consistently fifty 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 5: percent of Look we saw the draft, this is the 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 5: year of the quarterback. 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: Six of the top twelve picks we're quarterback. 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: I think we probably want a quarterback here only for 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 5: the last fourteen winners here won ten or more games. 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 5: You don't need to win games win Rookie of the Year. Now, 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 5: if your quarterback wing five hundred or better, your golden 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 5: we're probably giving it to you. But over half of 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 5: our winners last fourteen years finished sub five hundred, So 42 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 5: we don't need wins. 43 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: We need stats. 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 5: Quarterback four thousand yards thirty touchdowns. That's a pretty good measure. 45 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 5: Running back and receiver. You need a big year. You 46 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 5: need like thirteen hundred yards ten touchdowns on average, and 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 5: a key thing here this will be the case with 48 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 5: both Rookie of the Year. It matters where you got drafted. 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 5: Seventeen of the last twenty Rookies of the Year first 50 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 5: round picks, sixteen of the last twenty top twelve picks. 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 5: That narrows the field dramatically. Now a little bit less 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 5: this year because literally the whole top twelve was on offense. 53 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 5: We've got a few more choices there, but even really 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 5: forty percent, we're just top three picks in the last 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 5: two decades, so we want someone near the top. It 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 5: makes sense, right these are the best guys. You're probably 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 5: getting playing time right away. One other things, Speaking of 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 5: playing time, eleven out of thirteen winners in the last 59 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 5: thirteen have played at least fifteen games, so be careful. 60 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 5: We got guys like Drake may not starting yet. You 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 5: might want to bet them. But if they don't get 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 5: in the lineup really quickly here history has not really 63 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 5: been in their favor. And then one important note too. 64 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 5: This will be different in other awards, but for offense 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year favorites do not tend to win here. 66 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 5: Actually last decade, only two guys with odds shore than 67 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 5: plus eight hundred at the start of the season won 68 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 5: the award. So that's interesting because we got a big 69 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 5: favorite this year. 70 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: Caleb William's your favorite at plus one twenty number one 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 4: overall pick, of course, and Jayden Daniels files in next 72 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: at plus six hundred. The receiver component in this rookie 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: class is fascinating. As you said, the first twelve picks 74 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: were all on offense. But you've got Malik Neighbors Giants, 75 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison Junior Cardinals, rollm of Doonzay. I know he's 76 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: in a crowded receiving room with Caleb Williams. Those two 77 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: kind of go hand in hands. That one's a tough 78 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: one to kind of pick apart and decipher. So there's 79 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: your field, and like you said, good notes there on 80 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 4: Drake May We know bo Nix is going to start. 81 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: McCarthy's out for the year, Michael Pennix will be on 82 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: the bench behind Kirk Cousins. It wasn't long ago though, 83 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: going back to the draft when Pennix was one of 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 4: your long shots, and that number has shortened going back 85 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 4: way back now after the draft Brandon came on and 86 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: gave his whiplash picks on the awards market. 87 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: So where are you. 88 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 4: At right now leading into the week into the week 89 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: one slate your pick for offensive Rookie of the Year. 90 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 5: So Caleb Williams, I think is the right favor. Right, 91 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 5: he is entering an offense where you've got three stud 92 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 5: receivers DJ Moore, Key and Allen Roma Dunza. You got 93 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 5: Shane Waldern there to leave the offense. I think that's 94 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 5: an even bigger addition than the receivers. Seattle's top ten 95 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 5: in DVOA passing the last two years with Gino Smith 96 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 5: and Gino put up about four thousand yards twenty five touchdowns, 97 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 5: Like those are the right numbers here, and we get 98 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 5: get maybe a couple more touchdowns for kle Williams on 99 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: the ground that counts toward that number as well. And 100 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: he's done that pretty well. It's a very easy narrative, right, 101 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 5: we got the number one to pick push for five 102 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 5: hundred in a big market. You got the personality Brendon. 103 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 5: If he throws for four thousand yards and thirty touchdowns 104 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 5: this year, that would not just win Rookie of the 105 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 5: Year in all likelihood those are Chicago Bears all time 106 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 5: franchise rerecor. No quarterback has ever done either one of 107 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 5: those things. Like the narrative is obvious. However, defensive line 108 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: not good at pass blocking. That I think is going 109 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 5: to be an adjustment here. We've seen him in the 110 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 5: preseason do the mahomesy and the thing right. We see 111 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 5: him hold the ball, scramble around, try to hunt the 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 5: big play. That looks great when it works, it also 113 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 5: can turn to sacks in interceptions and mistakes. Start out 114 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 5: the season against Denard Wilson's defense in Tennessee, that's a 115 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 5: Baltimore defense style. Then Demico Ryan's defense with Houston. It's 116 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 5: a tough start for a new rookie. 117 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: I think Kile Williams is the right favorite. 118 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 5: However, he's not the right favorite to bet at plus 119 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 5: one fifty forty percent implied it's just way too short. 120 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 5: I can't get behind putting my money on someone effectively 121 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 5: kill Williams against the field in the deepest offensive rookie class. 122 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 2: I can't get there. So what do you think about 123 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams as is he the right favorite? To you? 124 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: Is plus one forty two much? 125 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 4: I think when you consider the division he plays in. 126 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 4: So no, don't I don't think I think you're onto it. 127 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: I think forty percent implied does not make a whole 128 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: lot of sense for Caleb Williams. They also, and this 129 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: is a theme for all of these young quarterbacks in theory, 130 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 4: when you're drafting that high or on a bad team. 131 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: We'll do this again, and I should get this out there. 132 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: We're going to Brandon's building the portfolio for all of 133 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 4: these awards. So when we get to week eight, week nine, 134 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 4: maybe even earlier, there are going to be opportunities to 135 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: bet these award markets to capitalize something I think about 136 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 4: with quarterback and brock perty with someone we discussed last 137 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 4: year for sure, or maybe going back a few years now, the. 138 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: National TV windows. 139 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 4: These quarterbacks don't have those windows to capitalize on those spots. 140 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: So that kind of fits under that entire umbrella. But 141 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: you're on it. Though Caleb Williams has even. 142 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 4: Just a slightly above average year, He's the biggest star 143 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: in Chicago. He's the biggest star in Chicago. It's him 144 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: and Angel Reese right now. Caleb Williams overtake as the 145 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: best athlete in Chicago. 146 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: Sports since Michael that's not crazy to say. 147 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 5: I think so again, he is the right favorite, but 148 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 5: he is not the guy you should be betting because 149 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: of the odds. So you mentioned the other guys here, 150 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 5: Harrison Neighbors, I think you're buying. 151 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: Peak hype, peak value here. 152 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 5: We saw them both go asso in the preseason. Like 153 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 5: Neighbors is going to be in a run heavy offense, 154 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 5: Daniel Jones, that's not a guy I want to invest, 155 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 5: And that's not a situation I want to invest in. 156 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 5: Harrison Junior. I like that better. I like your Petsing's offense. 157 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 5: He's getting drafted in fantasy football as a ten receiver 158 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 5: right now. Like that, that's just too much hype for 159 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 5: guy that has yet to play. Go forget Phukanakua. Last 160 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 5: year one hundred and five catches almost fifteen hundred yards, 161 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 5: didn't win. 162 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: He got two out of fifty. 163 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 5: First place votes because we just wanted to give it 164 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 5: to a quarterback. So I think it's you're the quarterback. 165 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: I don't need Drake May he's not playing yet, no 166 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 5: offensive line like maybe later if the if the number 167 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 5: gets long, I certainly don't need to bet Bonecks Captain 168 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 5: check down noodle alarm. If he takes my money, go congratulations, sir, 169 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 5: you may have it. 170 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 4: Well I want and doesn't that become more about Peyton 171 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 4: in his case for out Coach of the. 172 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 2: Year, Right situation, quarterback right? Yes? So to me, it's 173 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: those top two. It's Kayleb Williams as Jane Daniels, and 174 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: I like Jane Daniels. 175 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 5: This is my pick plus six hundred. Jane Daniels. I 176 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 5: think that he is a very similar case to Caleb Williams. Now, look, 177 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 5: the situation's worse. The offensive line is worse, maybe bottom 178 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: of the league. The weapons are worse. Our man, Cliff 179 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 5: Kingsbury is worse than sh Waldron. That's for Dang shaer 180 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 5: at running the offense. But Cliff Kingsbury was the offensive 181 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 5: coordinator when Kyler Murray won Rookie of the Year. Kingsbury 182 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 5: was a coordinator for ten or top ten Fantasy season 183 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 5: three times for Kyler. So we know Jane Daniels is 184 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: gonna run. We want stats. I don't really care if 185 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 5: Jane Daniels is good. I just want numbers. Last three 186 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 5: seasons at LSU and elsewhere, he averaged seventy yards a game, rushing. 187 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 5: Last year, Jane Daniels averaged ninety five yards a game 188 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 5: running last eight games one hundred and eighteen yards a game. 189 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 5: So we have a real shot here to get to 190 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 5: like seven hundred yards. That's fifty yards a game fourteen games. 191 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 5: We don't need a whole season of that. We could 192 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 5: get to one thousand yards. Only three quarterbacks ever have 193 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 5: done that. Even you add in what two hundred passing 194 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 5: yards and a touchdown a game that doesn't seem like much. 195 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 5: You basically just created a Lamar Jackson season. Those are 196 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 5: the Lamar Jackson stats, and that is a two time MVP. 197 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: So I like Daniels. He has a health risk with 198 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 5: his running style. He's not gonna win a lot of games, 199 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 5: so we don't get that upside. That's why I would 200 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 5: prefer Caleb Williams. Straight up. We're not betting. 201 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: Straight up, we got to take the odds. I get 202 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: a four x. 203 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 5: Payout on Jane Daniels versus Caleb Williams. So again, don't 204 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 5: love either favorite here because we don't want to invest 205 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 5: too much in the favorites at the award. But Jane Daniels, 206 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 5: he's the guy for me. Plus six hundred Rookie of 207 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 5: the Year. 208 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I think. 209 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: And we've talked about the commander's schedule in the early 210 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 4: part of the season on several episodes. Some of the 211 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: fronts they're facing early in the year are daunting, so 212 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 4: how he adjusts week to week early in the year 213 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: super important. A couple of long shots for this category 214 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 4: Offensive Rookie of the Year. 215 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, So if you want a long shot, you want 216 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 5: a running back, because only Dak Prescott and Kun Bolden 217 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 5: have won from outside the first round Rookie of the 218 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 5: Year in the last three decades. Running backs can do it, though, 219 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 5: running backs they're just opportunities. So I'll get two running 220 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: backs for you. Blake Korum from the Rams eighty to 221 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 5: one odds. I honestly thought his odds would be way 222 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 5: shorter than this after a lot of the preseason buzz. 223 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 5: The big news this week Kyene Williams is returning punts. 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 5: Oh no, what if he gets hurt? What are they doing? 225 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 5: It's probably nothing? But what's not nothing? What if Koram 226 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 5: is actually going to be the lead of running back 227 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 5: and Kyne is maybe more of a guy that they 228 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 5: use as a receiver. As a punt returner. The Rams 229 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 5: have an awesome intier offensive line. They run duo so well. 230 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 5: This is the Sean McVay theme. They have been awesome 231 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 5: running the ball. Korum is perfect at that, just running, 232 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 5: taking what's there. If he gets the usage, it's a 233 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 5: great fit. And in my real long shot long shot 234 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 5: on this pod today, Kamani Vadal of the Chargers two 235 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty to one. It's situation, Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman, 236 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 5: I know you are running the football, Los Angeles Chargers. 237 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 5: You've got Joe Alt, top five tackle, possibly top tackle 238 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 5: duo with Rayshawn Slater. Kamani Vadal is behind Gus Edwards 239 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 5: and JK. Dobbins, like the leftovers of leftovers from the 240 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 5: Ravens Now. I know those are Romans guys, but maybe 241 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 5: Vadal will be Romans guys a pretty similar style. Sixteen 242 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 5: hundred and sixty one year fourteen scores at Troy last season. 243 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 5: I don't even know who this dude is. He's a 244 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 5: running back in the Chargers. I'll take him at two 245 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 5: hundred fifty to long. That's up injury history too. 246 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 4: With those two running backs, Edwards and Dobbins, just a 247 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 4: disposable Razors right, and maybe you catch lightning in a 248 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 4: bottle with Wadell excellent. A little bit of a longer 249 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 4: category with offense and the receivers. 250 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 3: I think it was worth spending time on this award. 251 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: You've been consistent on in terms of how you find 252 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 4: the correct profile and correct me if I'm wrong. The 253 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: profile is pretty short. It's not a long profile. It's 254 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 4: way short of the offensive Rookie of the Year. That 255 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: would be Defensive Rookie of the Year last year. Best 256 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: bet on this podcast Will Anderson of the Texans at 257 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: plus five hundred, a. 258 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: Multi unit bet from Brandon. 259 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 4: We also discussed on the Best Bets pod, which will 260 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 4: be coming out every Friday morning during the season. 261 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: We discussed late in the year. 262 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 4: I think it was the first week, second week of December, 263 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 4: Jalen Carter had that strip. 264 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: Fumble return for a touchdown. 265 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: But ever since he's playing time went down, the Eagles crumbled. 266 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 3: And here come to Texans. 267 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 4: Will Anderson twenty five to one was a live play 268 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: during the season, so it's obviously not Will this year. 269 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: Who stands out with again you mentioned it not a 270 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: whole lot of defense drafted at the top in the 271 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 4: NFL Draft. So where are we finding the best value 272 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 4: for defensive rookie of the year. 273 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's start with a profile. This is one 274 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 5: where you do want the favorite. Eight of our last 275 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 5: twelve winners started plus nine hundred or shorter. So that's 276 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 5: why we wanted Will Anderson last year. We're gonna look 277 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 5: at only favorites. I got no long shots here, you 278 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 5: know me. I love my long shot. So if I 279 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 5: have no long shot, you know we want favorites. We 280 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 5: want a pass rusher. Seven of our last ten winners 281 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 5: had at least seven sacks. This is just flash. We 282 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 5: just need some flash plays. Give me a flash play. 283 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 5: You mentioned the fumble recovery. Will Anderson had seven sacks 284 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 5: last year. Give me flash, and again give me draft position. 285 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 5: Twenty one out of the last twenty four of this century, 286 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 5: defensive rookie of the year first round picks, twenty of 287 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 5: them top fifteen. Hey, Brandan, we only have one top 288 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 5: fifteen defender this year, so that's a little bit short there. 289 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 5: I'm gonna count like a few guys after that, but 290 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 5: that's really cutting it short. Ten out of twenty four 291 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 5: just to top five picks there, So there's not a 292 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 5: lot of options here. We don't need to win games. 293 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 5: We actually like if we joined bad defenses. Our last 294 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 5: seven guys that won this award joined a bottom six 295 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 5: team by points per game allowed and leapt into the 296 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 5: top eleven. So that's Washington, Arizona, Philly, Carolina, India and Denver. 297 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 5: And one of those two teams is we've got co 298 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 5: favorites here. So I think, really we need to talk 299 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 5: about the co favorites, don't you think, Brendan I would agree. 300 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 4: A lot too out of Indianapolis right around plus four 301 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 4: hundred and the Dallas Turner of the Minnesota Vikings plus 302 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 4: four to fifty, big drop off to Jared Verse of 303 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Rams. 304 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: It's a good point. 305 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 4: You don't necessarily now it worked out for Will Anderson right. 306 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 4: Winning team on the division certainly helped, I think for 307 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: the Stroud argument as well, wined at their sales to 308 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: get voters to be even more convinced a winning program 309 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 4: after the year the Texans had back in twenty twenty two. 310 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 4: But I think for these two, I mean, Indianapolis could 311 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 4: be good in the South, who knows in with Minnesota 312 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 4: seeing that Sam Darnold's our quarterback for the foreseeable future. 313 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: Who knows offensively really fun division. So who do you 314 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: come away with here? I mean, if you're telling me 315 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 4: it's the favorite, it's law to or Turner, who is it? 316 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? 317 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 5: I wouldn't even remind honestly, if you just take both 318 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 5: of these guys and just be. 319 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: Done for the year. 320 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 5: To your point on winning, eight of our last fourteen 321 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 5: rookies of the year were five hundred or worse, but 322 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 5: five of the last seven did win at least ten games, 323 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 5: So maybe we do prefer winning. 324 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: Now. 325 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 5: You got to keep an eye on these trends as 326 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 5: they develop. I like Dallas Turner plus four fifty. I'm 327 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 5: gonna start with law too, and why I'm not picking him. 328 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 5: I think he is a very strong case. He's the 329 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 5: top defender on the board. He's their only top fifteen pick. 330 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 5: We love that he's in a great D line too. 331 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 5: He's gonna not necessarily get a lot of double teams 332 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 5: because he got Grover Stewart, DeForest Buckner, great tackles, quit 333 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 5: he pay. It's a good it's a good pick. He 334 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 5: had thirteen and ten a half sacks. He gets a 335 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 5: lot of pressures in college. I think he'll be good. 336 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 5: Dallas Turner is basically even odds depending on your book. 337 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 5: With law two, Dallas Turner was supposed to be the 338 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 5: top pick in the draft. Defensively, he's a top pass rusher. 339 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 5: He's only the third defender. He's number seventeen. I'm gonna 340 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 5: count that as our top fifteen. Given the way the 341 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 5: draft played out this year, you mentioned Will Anderson, that's 342 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 5: our guy. This is a very similar profile. You look 343 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 5: at stats bomb really similar on what their strengths and 344 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 5: weaknesses are. Will is a better run defender. I think 345 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 5: that's why Dallas Turner slipped a little bit. But I 346 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 5: get some deja fu here, right we got last year 347 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 5: Houston takes the franchise quarterback and then trays a whole 348 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 5: bunch of stuff to go up and get their defensive 349 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 5: minded coach, a star pass rusher who they then play 350 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 5: next to Jonathan Grenard all season and he wins Rookie 351 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 5: of the Year. 352 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: So Minnesota franchise quarterback. 353 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 5: I certainly hope as a Vikings fan, they trade a 354 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 5: bunch of stuff, they go get Dallas Turner, former Alabama player, 355 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 5: they play them next to who Jonathan Grenard? Who Minnesota 356 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 5: signed this offseason. Why not go ahead and win Defensive 357 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year as well. Now, I think a 358 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 5: law too slightly fits my profile better. But here's my tiebreaker, 359 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 5: Brian Flores. Brian Flores had three hundred and forty eight 360 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 5: blitzes last year, twenty one percent higher than the next 361 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 5: closest team. To remember, we want sacks, we want flash plays. 362 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 5: So Dallas Turner we did night of the Draft. I 363 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 5: got him at plus seven to fifty. I still like 364 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 5: him at plus four fifty slightly over a lot too here. 365 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 5: I think he is the better play. 366 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm glad you brought up Flores because I think 367 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 4: since he's left New England he's turned loose a bit 368 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 4: right as far as like letting guys go after the 369 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 4: quarterback a little bit more. They can freelance a little 370 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 4: bit more, which freelancing wasn't allowed in. 371 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: New England during the dynasty. 372 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: Okay, there's Defensive Rookie of the Year. This next one 373 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 4: fascinates me because just to kind of set the scene, folks, 374 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 4: think of how many starting quarterbacks got hurt last year 375 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 4: in the National Football League and the amount of quarterbacks 376 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 4: we had to see play and it oftentimes may have 377 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: pissed us off and ruined our viewing experience on Sunday 378 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 4: night Monday night, those standalone games, especially when one of 379 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: the quarterbacks just absolutely stunk, but it does set up 380 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: for a fascinating comeback player of the year discussion. Brandon 381 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 4: did add Joe Flacco, which I forgot you did that 382 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: mid season two hundred and fifty to one last year. 383 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: Of course, the Deamar Hamlin thing, I think was as 384 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 4: a sensitive subject, but that was certainly the favorite going 385 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 4: into the season for reasons I think most of you know. 386 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 4: But I'm interested, Brandon, this is a year with and 387 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 4: I want to get the names out there now, just 388 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 4: to remind the audience. Aaron Rodgers got hurt four plays 389 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 4: into the season last year, Joe Burrow early season injury, 390 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins Achilles not even he's not even on the 391 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 4: Vikings anymore, different place, sending a big contract. And then 392 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson of course, one of the marquee first round 393 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 4: quarterbacks coming out of the draft. I mean that it 394 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 4: really doesn't sound I mean, Daniel Jones was hurt last year. 395 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: If the Giants have any sort of hope, and I 396 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 4: know this NFL Hard Knocks thing doesn't look really good 397 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 4: for Daniel Jones. They're crapping all over them there in 398 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: New York. But I mean, it's unbelievable the amount of 399 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 4: quarterbacks that are coming back from injury. So set us 400 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 4: up with the profile, and I'm curious as to what 401 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 4: this kind of field, how it factors into your thinking. 402 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, like, the profile is pretty easy here, right. 403 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 5: We want a guy that is a quarterback on a 404 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 5: winning team recovering from a major injury. Eleven of our 405 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: last fifteen winners are quarterbacks. Notably, we've not had a 406 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 5: running back winner here since two thousand and one. I 407 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 5: think that makes sense. Running Backs, you get your big injury, 408 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 5: you might never be back again, like you might never 409 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 5: reach that level again, So be careful with your running backs. 410 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 5: You love a quarterback here. Fourteen of those fifteen made 411 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 5: the playoffs, So you need to win. You can't just 412 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 5: come back and like exist on a team somewhere. You 413 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 5: got to actually make a winning impact. And an important 414 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 5: note for this year, because of our guy Joe Flacco, 415 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 5: the voters have been specifically struck did this year. This 416 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 5: is an award for comeback from quote injury or illness, 417 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: no more. Joe Flackell coming back from your couch, no more, 418 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 5: Gino Smith coming back from sucking. That's the last two winners, 419 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 5: So be careful. Sam Donald, he's pretty high on the 420 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 5: odds here. Sam Darnald Aine hurt. Sam Donald just stinks 421 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 5: and got a new chance. Russell Wilson he's not really 422 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 5: been hurt lately. Bryce Young only missed one game last year. 423 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 5: Don't get to come back from sucking. You've got to 424 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 5: come back from an injury. And I think some do 425 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 5: suck and get hurt. Of course you can come back 426 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 5: from both things. But I think especially I think folks 427 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 5: again sensitive subject. 428 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 2: I think folks feel a little. 429 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 5: Bit guilty about not giving this to DeMar Hamlin last year. 430 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 5: So I think we're going to get a pretty straightforward 431 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 5: look here. So I think it's just one of those 432 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 5: guys you mentioned. I don't know, but Anthony Richards said 433 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 5: like he barely even played. Ye, you can really come 434 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: back when you have barely been a professional. So I 435 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 5: think Rogers, Burrow and Kirk Cousins, those are three very 436 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 5: strong candidates. We know these guys, we know who they are. 437 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 5: They all make sense. Kirk, I'm gonna rule out because 438 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 5: he's got the same achilles injury that Rogers had, but 439 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 5: his is more recent. That's bad. His is on his 440 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 5: plant foot, that's bad. And his team is worse, so 441 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 5: that's bad. So I'm ruined. Kirk Cousins out Joe Burrow, 442 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 5: I think makes more sense is what's out is his 443 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 5: team worse. 444 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: You better believe it because we're gonna talk about the Jets. 445 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 4: Watch Yes, this, I know where you're going with this, 446 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 4: but man, you are in on the jem the Falcon. 447 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 4: If the Falcons have loaded up Brandon like they've got, 448 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 4: they've finally got a guy who can throw the ball. 449 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: I understand the concern, but. 450 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 5: I think the Falcons are are five hundred team in 451 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 5: a bad. 452 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: Division, the same wind total. They both have nine and 453 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 3: a half win totals. 454 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 5: That's We're gonna make a lot of money off of it. 455 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 5: Brandon all Right, Burrow half injury. Wrist injury like these 456 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 5: are not as exciting injuries to come back from. 457 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 2: And this is a narrative award. 458 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 5: It matters that you're coming back from a wrist ligament injury. 459 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 5: Here's the thing, Joe Burrow one Comeback Player the Year 460 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one. We don't get repeat winners here. 461 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: We have one ever, Chad Pennington. I was ready to 462 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 5: go Rogers Burrow together here. I think Burroll's not going 463 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 5: to win this the second time he came back from 464 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 5: a bigger injury before. I think it's Rogers look forty 465 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 5: year old coming off an achilles stare playing in the 466 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 5: New York media hype on a playoff contender. Come on, like, 467 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 5: what easier comeback player of the year can you get 468 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 5: than that? Plus two hundred? I think he's the pick here. However, 469 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 5: this will not be the last to hear from me 470 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 5: on Aaron Rodgers on this podcast. 471 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 4: A quick reminder, if you aren't an Action Pro subscriber, 472 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 4: you are missing out.

He actually nailed two of these 488 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 4: the last two years. He had Christian McCaffrey last year 489 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 4: at fourteen to one and Justin Jefferson going back to 490 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 4: twenty twenty two at fifteen to one. So Brandon, give 491 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 4: us the profile on who wins Offensive. 492 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,479 Speaker 3: Player of the Year. Gets a little tricky, right, It's 493 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: not just quarterback per se. 494 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 5: It's definitely not just quarterback. It actually has kind of 495 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 5: filtered through the positions. We'll come back to that. But 496 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 5: really what you want here is just outlier stats with 497 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 5: one exception. You need crazy outlier stats, but you need 498 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 5: to win too, which I think is important here. So 499 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 5: the stats quarterbacks last decade average of forty six hundred 500 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 5: yards forty four touchdowns for Offensive Player of the Year. 501 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: We are not talking. 502 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,479 Speaker 5: About a good season this is like you won your 503 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 5: fantasy league because this guy's on your team. Sort of 504 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: season running back last ten years, if you won two 505 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: thousand scrimmage yards fourteen touchdowns, that's the average receivers, here's 506 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 5: your average season, one hundred and forty catches, eighteen hundred yards, 507 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 5: eleven scores. So I don't love to bet this one preseason. 508 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 5: Right now we're shooting at nothing, like, how do I 509 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 5: know what the outlier stats are for these guys until 510 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 5: we start getting some stats. So I have a few 511 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 5: guys here, But to me, this is one to bet 512 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 5: a little safer on and play and add more to later. 513 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 5: So just setting up that way. In one note too, 514 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 5: so I mentioned the winners ten straight Offensive Player of 515 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 5: the Years have won ten games or more all but 516 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 5: one eleven games are more, averaging twelve wins. So it's 517 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 5: not just amazing stats. You do have to win. Now, 518 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 5: those things make sense together. If you're that good or 519 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 5: putting up these sort of num is, you're probably gonna 520 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 5: win some games too. But I think it's important to 521 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 5: marry the crazy stats but also with the winner. And 522 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 5: then the last thing is we often talk about this 523 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 5: award like, oh, well, whoever doesn't win MVP. This is 524 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 5: a consolation prize for them. That's not necessarily true for quarterbacks. 525 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 5: The last four Offensive Player of the Year quarterbacks also 526 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 5: won MVP, so this is not necessarily like, well, who 527 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 5: could win MVP but not quite, so I'll give them 528 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 5: this award maybe running back and receiver. To me, this 529 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 5: award has become quarterbacks are winning our for MVPs. Let's 530 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 5: let a running back or receiver be the Offensive Player 531 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 5: of the Year. And I think that's where we look 532 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 5: here now. 533 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels a lot like how Netflix comes out 534 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 4: with quarterback and then the receivers are like. 535 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: We matter too, so give us our own show. And 536 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: that's what this kind of award feels like. It's kind 537 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 3: of the same thing. 538 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 4: All right, Sure, we'll give you the receiver doc and 539 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 4: we'll talk about all you you divas and all the 540 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 4: prep you put into it. 541 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: It actually wasn't really compelling TV show, to be honest, Okay, 542 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 3: So here's what we're working with here. 543 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 4: As far as a field is concerned, Tyreek Hill is 544 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 4: your favorite at plus seven to fifty. McCaffrey down to 545 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 4: plus nine to fifty in comparison. No, I know, injury concerns, 546 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 4: but getting a fourteen to one price last year pretty good. 547 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 3: Newly paid Ceedee Lamb eleven to one. 548 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 4: Jamar Chase who knows is he asking for a contract soon? 549 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: Twelve to one, Justin Jefferson twelve to one, Bijon Robinson 550 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: at sixteen to one, new offensive scheme, Robin Ross Saint 551 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 4: Browns sixteen to one, Brice Hall's sixteen to one. There's 552 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: a whole lot jumbled there. There's a lot of similar pricing. 553 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 3: So who emerges? Are we gonna get one pick? Two picks? 554 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 3: What do you got? 555 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 5: So let me first start by I got Jill's pick 556 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 5: for you here. He's our two time defending champ. He's 557 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 5: beating me both years on this one, so I'm gonna 558 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 5: give his pick out for him. Jamar Chase twelve to one. 559 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 5: That's his pick here, that's not mine. 560 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: I like it. 561 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 5: He can have a big season. I don't want McCaffrey 562 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 5: or Justin Jefferson. We have not had a repeat winner 563 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 5: on this award, and I don't mean like back to back, 564 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 5: I mean ever winning a second time since Marshall fall 565 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 5: two thousand and one. Jefferson one already, mccaffree one already. 566 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: Again. 567 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 5: The whole point is crazy outlier stats. Once you do 568 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 5: it once, it's not outlier anymore. You gotta just be 569 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 5: that awesome again. So I'm ruling them out. I'm gonna 570 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 5: rule out Bajon and Breeze. I don't want a running 571 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 5: back here. I'd rather have Bijon than Breese Hall. Running 572 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 5: backs one ninety six to two thousand and three every 573 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 5: single year, then the next decade, seven out of the 574 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 5: ten went to quarterbacks. 575 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 2: I think it's a receiver's award. 576 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 5: Now three of our last five winners here have been 577 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 5: receivers after no receivers since Jerry Rice nineteen ninety three. 578 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 5: So I've ruled out most of the names. I have 579 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 5: two receivers left. It's kind of chalky. But again, Jill's 580 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 5: beating me here. I gotta catch up. I'm gonna play 581 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 5: two receivers here. I'm gonna play his guy, Ceedee Lamb, 582 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 5: who had one hundred and forty catches seventeen hundred fifty 583 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 5: yards last year. And if you just start a week 584 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 5: six forward and pace out over the season, when he 585 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 5: kind of made that leap mid season, he paces to 586 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 5: almost two thousand yards on one hundred and fifty six catches. 587 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 5: He scored a touchdown at least once in nine of 588 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 5: the last eleven games. He would be my one pick 589 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 5: if I had to make one, but I can't not 590 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 5: include Tyreek Hill. My man is seventeen hundred yards two 591 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 5: straight years Miami is my number one offense. Tyreek has 592 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 5: been Top four Offensive Player of the Year twice already. 593 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 5: I frankly think Tyreek should have won one already, and 594 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 5: I kind of think CD should have won it last year. 595 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 5: So I just had to pick the guys that knowing 596 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 5: to produce and haven't won this yet. Tyreek plus seven 597 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 5: to fifty, CD plus eleven hundred. I play those two together. 598 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 5: I give them at plus four hundred, So I think 599 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 5: that's a good position to start here. Gives me some 600 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 5: options to have almost certainly one guy in the mix, 601 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 5: and then we can add on. 602 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: A little bit later. 603 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 5: And I got a couple of long shots as well. 604 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 4: I love those two as well, because I think the 605 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 4: perception too is as you've hit on like, perception matters, 606 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 4: what are the voters thinking. I think these two particular players, 607 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 4: Hill and Lamb elevate the quarterback now Hill more so 608 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 4: than Lamb because I think there's a general respect for 609 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: Dak Prescott since he was drafted fourth round pick has 610 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 4: worn that star in the helmet pretty respectively. Considering the 611 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 4: side show that is the Dallas Cowboys oftentimes off the field, 612 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 4: but newly paid. And also you mentioned it, you want 613 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 4: to be on a winning team. These teams are in 614 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 4: that nine and a half ten and a half win 615 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 4: range where you're gonna be in the hunt and being 616 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 4: you're gonna be an impact games against really good you know, Dak, 617 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 4: Dak and CD have to play against Philadelphia. 618 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: Those are often national TV spots for sure. 619 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 4: And then also of course the AFC East with the 620 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 4: Jets and the Bills, that's the competition for Miami. 621 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 3: So I like the I like those. 622 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 4: Two looks for sure, Tyreek being the favorite in ceedee 623 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 4: lamb now happy and paid. 624 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,239 Speaker 3: Long shots. Please, what do you got? 625 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: Player of the year, A couple of guys for offensive 626 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: play the year? Long shot? 627 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 5: Another Jet here for you. I think Breis Hall is 628 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 5: the wrong Jet to be favored. I like Garrett Wilson 629 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 5: better thirty to one for Garrett Wilson. Aaron Rodgers loves 630 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 5: to lock onto his guy, and I think his guys 631 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 5: can be get Wilson, which you saw it in the 632 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 5: preseason last year. They had pretty good chemistry. They had 633 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 5: a nice back shoulder touchdown. DeVante Adams his last season 634 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 5: with Aaron Rodgers one hundred and twenty three catches, fifteen 635 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty yards and eleven scores. The year before that, 636 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 5: eighteen scores. We've seen in Aaron Rodgers receiver. He put 637 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 5: up huge numbers. I like that one and in that division. 638 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 5: I like a Chan at Miami. I think he is 639 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 5: a fantasy league winner this year. Potentially. This guy averaged 640 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 5: seven point eight yards of carry as a rookie, So 641 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 5: even if that drops to a more normal number, you're 642 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 5: going to get like thirteen carries a game, six and 643 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 5: a half yards a carry. You get to thirteen hundred 644 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 5: plus yards. You add some receiving yards. He's a dual 645 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 5: threat and you can get some touchdowns. You can bust 646 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 5: along play if you're going way off the board sixty 647 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 5: to one. He's my favorite super long shot here for 648 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 5: just a possible league winner type guy. 649 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,239 Speaker 3: I love that dude. A Chan. 650 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 4: I think most Hurt's got injury history as well. A 651 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 4: Chan definitely got some work early in the season. Love 652 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 4: that look as well at sixty to one excellent. There's 653 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 4: your offensive Player of the Year. Breakdown on to Defensive 654 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: Player of the Year. We'll spend a couple minutes on 655 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 4: this last season, this very episode, same time of year, 656 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 4: we recorded Brandon hit on Miles Garrett at plus eight 657 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 4: hundred as one of three players that he played last year. 658 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 3: So you hit on Garrett. 659 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 4: I'm curious who your darlings might be this year, But 660 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: first let's get the profile. 661 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 662 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 5: So again, defense, you'll want the favorites. This is the 663 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 5: most predictable NFL award I think. And you want pass rushers. 664 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 5: Eight of our last ten defensive Player of the Years 665 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 5: had eleven sacks or more. So that is a pretty 666 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 5: high bar average at sixteen and a half sacks for 667 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 5: those guys. You want guys that have been here before. 668 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 5: We want guys who are recognizable, Like guys don't come 669 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 5: out of nowhere and win this award. So six of 670 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 5: our last twelve winners, half of them got at least 671 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 5: one first place vote the year before. That's a very 672 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 5: narrow fear. This four guys. It's Miles Garrett, It's TJ. A. Watt, 673 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 5: It's Parsons in Dallas, and it's Deron Bland in Dallas, 674 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 5: but he's out because he's injured right now, so it's 675 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 5: really three guys left there. Another thing too, ten straight 676 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 5: winners in this award have been anywhere between age twenty 677 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 5: five and twenty nine. The last guy thirty years or 678 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 5: older was Charles Woodson in two thousand and nine. So 679 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 5: thirty is a bad number, especially this year. Listen to 680 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 5: some guys who turned thirty this year. Chris Jones, an 681 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 5: incredible defender for the Chiefs, Danielle Hunter, big signing in Houston. 682 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 5: I've seen him given out for this award, Son Reddick 683 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 5: if he plays this season. 684 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: Accordingly TJ. Watt. 685 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 5: On the other end of the age spectrum, Adan Hutchinson 686 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 5: not quite in this age range, Jet Will Carter and 687 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 5: Jalen Carter. Sorry, Will Anderson and Jalen Carter not quite there. 688 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 5: So it's a pretty narrow field here. It's not necessarily 689 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 5: a team award. The guys over the last decade have 690 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 5: averaged eleventh in points per game defensively ninth in DVAA like, 691 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 5: that's good, but it's not like you have to be 692 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 5: look in the NBA, you would it be in like 693 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 5: a top three defense to win this award. 694 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 2: Not so the NFL. You just need a lot of sacks. 695 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 5: Really, they do all win nine games or more. Everyone 696 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 5: in the last decade has average eleven wins. 697 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 2: So does a team awarden that you need to win. 698 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 5: But mostly you just need to be a really good 699 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 5: defensive player that we all know exists, and then we 700 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 5: just pick you to win. Like this is how awards 701 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 5: should go, Brandon. We're like, who's the best defensive player? Hey, 702 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 5: let's let's let you win the award. So that's why 703 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 5: I like this one. It's easier predict. 704 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it makes a lot of sense why TJ. 705 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 4: Watt's name is always here every freaking year because of 706 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 4: the Tomlin five hundred season thing that's been going on 707 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 4: for a while now. It's also just seeing all these 708 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 4: pass rushers at the top speaks to where the league 709 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 4: is and where the priorities lie. When you build your team, 710 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 4: whether it be the draft or free agency. You got 711 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 4: to get the quarterback right, got to get the line 712 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 4: play right, got to get weapons. Okay, defensively, let's go 713 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 4: get to the other quarterback and then we'll worry about 714 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 4: or about the secondary later because it's an offensive league now, 715 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 4: so we'll allow a receiver to have a big night, 716 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 4: can we get to the quarterback and throw them off 717 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 4: a step? So it makes sense why that's your historical context, 718 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense as to why these guys. 719 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: Always like t J. Watt, Miles Garrett at the top 720 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 3: of the board. They are, they are. Those two are 721 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 3: not the favorite though, MICHAELH. 722 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 4: Parsons your favorite at plus six hundred, Watt at plus 723 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 4: seven hundred, Garrett plus eight hundred, Max Crosby of the 724 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 4: Raiders at ten to one, and Nick Bosa ten to one. 725 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 3: So I full disclosure, folks. I see the doc. 726 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 4: I see how Brandon puts these in and then we 727 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 4: get this right before we start, and uh, explain this 728 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 4: to me how you're you're gonna go about picking this. 729 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I need I need you to listen up closely, 730 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 5: dear listener, because this is my favorite pick on the podcast. 731 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 5: This is the one you need to bet. But it's complicated, 732 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 5: So I'm gonna I'm gonna lock you through it. So 733 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 5: start with those five guys, and I'm like, oh man, 734 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 5: that's the right five. Even then mostly in the right 735 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 5: order like that how do we find how do we 736 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 5: find some advantage for us if these are the right 737 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 5: five guys. Well, it turns out there is advantage on 738 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 5: all these guys because the odds are priced incorrectly because favorites. 739 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 5: When this award so last year, here's what we did 740 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 5: on the pod. You said that we've won with Miles Garrett. 741 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 5: That's true. I also gave out tg a Watt and 742 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 5: I gave out Micah Parsons. We bet all three of them. 743 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 5: Those three were ore bet. That was just those three. 744 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 5: They finished first, second, and third. 745 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: It's so easy. 746 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 5: It's so easy to just pick the favorites on this award. 747 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 5: We bet a unit each. Garrett was plus eight hundred, 748 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 5: We finished plus six units. We're doing it again. Slight 749 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 5: change here. There's five guys you just mentioned. Miles Garrett 750 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 5: twelve sacks four years in a row. At least he's 751 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,439 Speaker 5: my number one defense defending winner. We love repeat winners here, 752 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 5: he's in. I need him. Micah Parsons. If I only 753 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 5: got one guy, he's probably the guy. Year four, age 754 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 5: twenty five. That is a bullseye on this award. Top 755 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 5: three defensive player of the year all three seasons. He's 756 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 5: playing in the league. I gotta have him. Nick Bosa 757 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 5: fourteen point eight sacks a year the last three. He's 758 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 5: a little bit down last year, but I like Nick 759 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 5: Sorenson the new DC there. I want him in my position. 760 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 5: He's a good age range. I need him. 761 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: TJ. Watt. 762 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 5: Now this is tricky. I mentioned him because he turned 763 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 5: he turned thirty this year. 764 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: But TJ. 765 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 5: Wat has led the league in sacks three of the 766 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,959 Speaker 5: last four seasons, and he was hurt the other year. 767 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 5: He averages a sack a game since his rookie season. 768 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 5: He's finished top three in this award four to five years. 769 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 5: He was hurt the other year. All time players get 770 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 5: their own rules sometimes on these I need TJ. 771 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: Watt. 772 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 5: I've got four guys already.

That was I forget 811 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 4: where I was. Definitely was doing something I shouldn't have 812 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 4: been doing, which was driving.

We can let this one go, so give 845 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 5: us the profile. Obviously, you need to win. You need 846 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 5: to average twelve wins over the last decade. You need 847 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 5: at least eleven. All but one had that many. But 848 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 5: this is a narrative award, so how do we build narrative? 849 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 5: You need to win more than last year and more 850 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 5: than expected so than last year. Last decade average improvement 851 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 5: from six point nine wins the previous year to twelve 852 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 5: point one the following year. So at least or eight 853 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 5: of the ten have won at least four more games. 854 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 5: Seven of the ten started in that like seven to 855 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 5: ten win range. So a team that was around five 856 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 5: hundred last year wins an average of five more games 857 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 5: this season. Now you're in the playoffs, so that's the start. 858 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 5: But sometimes we know who that team is, so the 859 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 5: over under matters here. Also, these these coaches are averaging 860 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 5: beating their over under expectation by over four wins. Also 861 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 5: since twenty ten. Now have to say the last two 862 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 5: years in a row have broken this trend. Brian Gable 863 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 5: only two wins over the total. Stefanski are a man 864 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 5: who stole the award last year, only one point five 865 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 5: with the total. Now, look he had narrative. They started 866 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 5: five different quarterbacks. 867 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 2: I get it. 868 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 5: But nine of our last ten here coaches of the 869 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 5: year started at the win total of seven and a 870 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 5: half to nine and a half, A very narrow like 871 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 5: we think you're a five hundred team, Oh you're your 872 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 5: a twelve win team. Congratulations, you're the coach of the Year. 873 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 5: And the last thing, we love our first year coaches. 874 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 5: Four of our seven winners, our first year guys six 875 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,959 Speaker 5: of the last thirteen, around fifty percent, and we only 876 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 5: have like six or seven first year coaches, I think, 877 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,839 Speaker 5: so that helps to narrow the field as well. Very 878 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 5: open field here for this award. 879 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, so Jim Harbaugh is the favorite. He wouldn't be 880 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 4: considered a first year coach. It's first year in Los Angeles. 881 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 5: Is first year on a new team, is what I 882 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 5: mean by that. So that's good call out. 883 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 3: Okay, very good. 884 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense, first year on a new team 885 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 4: because it's right starting fresh. Can you can you get 886 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:36,879 Speaker 4: this thing back on the track. 887 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 3: That makes sense? 888 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 4: And I guess that kind of alludes to, like, like 889 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 4: Dan Quinn was a head coach in Atlanta, right and 890 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 4: coordinator job a couple of years now he's the headman 891 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 4: in Washington. 892 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 3: Just using another example. 893 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 4: Matti Eberfluss of the Chicago Bears, very public guy these 894 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,720 Speaker 4: days with the new fresh haircut, hard knocks Bears. Raheem 895 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 4: Morris in Atlanta at twelve to one, Matt Lafleur in 896 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 4: Green Bay at thirteen to one. Demiko Ryans is there, 897 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,919 Speaker 4: Shane Steichen at fourteen to one. Sore you go there, 898 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 4: you they're your favorites. So Harbaugh and Eberflus both at 899 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 4: ten to one. Brandon's pick for coach of the Year 900 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 4: for this year is who. 901 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm gonna rule out a couple of guys 902 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 5: for you. Just help direct where you're looking. This is 903 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 5: a tough one, right, we got thirty options. I don't 904 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 5: need Eberflus. If the Bears are good, just back Caleb Williams. 905 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 5: I know it's a short number. I no, we said 906 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,319 Speaker 5: not to you. But if the Bears are good, he's 907 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 5: who wins an award. Don't bet to Miko. I know 908 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 5: everybody loves the Texas this year. 909 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 3: Real quick, real quick, I know. 910 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 4: Just to just to piggyback off your point there, Iberflus 911 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 4: is the defensive mind on that staff. I think offensive 912 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 4: coaches matter too, pending when you're comparing markets. Right, if 913 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 4: Caleb Williams is good, they're gonna give credit to Waldron 914 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 4: and the offensive staff. 915 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 3: And eber Flus is more and more so of a 916 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 3: passenger in their deal. 917 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I agree with that generally, except I 918 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 5: would also argue that Stefanski just won because his defense 919 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 5: led by Jim Schwartz one on the award year ago. 920 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 5: So I'm a little still stung by that one. 921 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,959 Speaker 3: And Stroud and CJ. 922 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 4: Straub is really good last year, and I think Demiko 923 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 4: Ryans is gonna give You're gonna get some credit for 924 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 4: that to having the right program enough. 925 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a good point, but I'm going 926 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 5: to careful with this is not a year for Demiko. 927 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 5: They won ten games, their wintal is nine and a half. 928 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 5: The bar is too high that the odds are not 929 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 5: reflecting where Houston is at here. Dan Campbell too good. 930 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 5: You can't bet a team that already has a win 931 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 5: totll ten and a half or better. That's not the 932 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 5: way to go. This is not just who's the best 933 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 5: coach like defensive player. 934 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 2: That's not it. You need narrative, you need a first 935 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 2: year My guy. 936 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 5: I have one pick here. It's Mike McDonald from Seattle 937 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 5: fourteen to one. We've talked about Seattle, we talked with 938 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 5: him on our previous podcast. I love everything about what 939 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 5: this team is doing. This is my number five defense 940 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 5: heading into the season. I think McDonald is gonna unleash Witherspoon, 941 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 5: the sophomore cornerback. I think he's gonna be the Cal 942 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 5: Hamilton for this team. McDonald's been great, specifically scheming against 943 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 5: McVay and shanahanstyle offenses. 944 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 2: That's the division. 945 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 5: I think that's why Seattle went out and got him. 946 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 5: I love Dodson and Baker, the linebackers they brought in. 947 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 5: I think that that's going to be big for them. 948 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 5: The way that he had Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen. 949 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 5: I think those guys are going to try to be 950 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 5: something similar to that. I love the offense too. We 951 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 5: get Ryan Grubb also, the offensive coach coming up from Washington. 952 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 5: I love all that sets up for Gino bombing of 953 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 5: the receivers. Now, they did win nine games last year. 954 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 5: It's tough to replace a legend and Pete Carroll, but 955 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 5: that also gives us some narrative boosts. The win total 956 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 5: is seven and a half. That's right, that's the spot 957 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 5: I like here. I'm also get a spot to fade 958 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 5: the Rams. We talked about them. Maybe a chance to 959 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 5: fade the Niners a little bit with a lot of 960 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 5: just little things trickling in the injuries starting to pile up. 961 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 5: I like Seattle. I think this is a great way 962 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 5: to bet on the Seahawks this year to win maybe 963 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 5: twelve or more games. So Mike McDonald fourteen to one 964 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 5: would be my pick here. 965 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, But I think just just I'm trying to make 966 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 4: sense of your your profile, right, because the fact that 967 00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 4: they won nine game doesn't that not matter because Carol 968 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 4: not the guy anymore. 969 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 3: So it's an open slate. 970 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 4: It's a new era, right for does that matter or 971 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 4: liked mados now from Bill Belichick. 972 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 5: I mean it matters to me a thinking voter. It 973 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 5: does not matter to my blank slate profiles that are 974 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,240 Speaker 5: like nine wins, that's a little much. That's the only reason. 975 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 5: But you're right, it should be a blank slate, and 976 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 5: I think getting to that level again and batter hopefully 977 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 5: replacing a legend, that should be the narrative that we're 978 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 5: looking for. So I think you can play that to 979 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 5: our favor. We just don't know if the voters will 980 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 5: do it that way, right. 981 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of window of opportunity if 982 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,760 Speaker 4: you're in the same division as San Francisco and Los Angeles, 983 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 4: two very popular teams fan bases everywhere in McVeigh, the 984 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 4: kind of attention he's had at the national level, and 985 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 4: the Rams being in Los Angeles and the Niners just 986 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 4: being in the mix the last half decade. You you 987 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 4: score a couple wins against those teams, that's gonna Intenna's 988 00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 4: go off right, Antenna's start to pop up in Seattle. 989 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 2: Okay? Like it? 990 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 3: And your long shot for this. 991 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, only a little bit longer. 992 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 5: This is actually a team I don't love, but I 993 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 5: think it's a good way to bet them in case 994 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 5: I'm wrong. Brian Callahan of the Titans twenty five to one. 995 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 5: There's just a lot of avenues to go right here 996 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 5: for the Titans. So they won six games last year, 997 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,839 Speaker 5: six point five win total. That is a bullseye. That's 998 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 5: exactly the sort of team I'm looking for. Soft division, 999 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 5: easy window here for them to go things to go right, 1000 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,919 Speaker 5: win that division, just like the Texans did last year, 1001 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 5: just like the Jaguars did the previous year. So I 1002 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 5: don't love these things, but will love us. Not a 1003 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 5: quarterback I like, but I might be wrong. He might 1004 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 5: be really good. He's got a huge arm. He also, 1005 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 5: even though they lost Derrick Henry, I think it's a 1006 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 5: better offense this year. They got in Calvin Ridley, they 1007 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 5: got Tyler Boyd. They brought in Tony Pollard, who's healthy now. 1008 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 2: I think they gave him. 1009 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 5: A lot of appears that spears dude behind good and 1010 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 5: don't forget the bad offensive line. Brought in Brian Callahan's dad, Bill, 1011 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 5: the best O line coach in the league, which which 1012 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 5: I think also helps defense a lot. On defense, they 1013 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 5: got a lot of dudes in Lagerius Snead from the Chiefs. 1014 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 5: They just traded for Ernest Jones from the Rams. I 1015 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 5: don't know much about DENARDA. Wilson, the new coordinator, but 1016 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 5: he comes over from Baltimore. He's got a lot of 1017 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 5: guys to work with on this unit that he picked. 1018 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 5: They changed out a lot of names here. This is 1019 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 5: not a team I like. But sometimes, Brennan, look, I've 1020 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 5: bet a lot of futures. Sometimes you have to say, well, 1021 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 5: what if I'm wrong? Like last year on this podcast, 1022 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 5: I gave out Brock Party for MVP. I was not 1023 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 5: a brock pretty fan. I did not think he should be. 1024 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 2: In that award. 1025 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 5: But what if I'm wrong about San Francisco? How would 1026 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 5: I be wrong? How would that go? I think if 1027 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 5: I'm wrong about Tennessee, a team I'm out on this year, 1028 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 5: this is a way to bet it and give myself 1029 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 5: kind of one out for them twenty five to one. 1030 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 5: There's a lot of paths here where the Titans are 1031 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 5: the surprise team, and look, we're predicting a surprise.

Sign up at Favorites dot actionnetwork, 1049 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 4: dot com our final Award MVP. 1050 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 2: So obviously we need a quarterback. We had a quarterback 1051 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 2: winner with good stats. That's it. We know what this is. 1052 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 5: Sixteen to the last seventeen our quarterback. So you need 1053 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 5: a quarterback here. I don't even look at any other position. 1054 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 5: It is a team accomplishment. Thirteen out of those sixteen 1055 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 5: quarterbacks were one seeds. All but one of them were 1056 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 5: top two seed. Those quarterbacks have averaged fourteen win pace 1057 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 5: and at least thirteen wins for twelve out of the sixteen, 1058 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 5: and that's before the seventeen game up. Also, so it's 1059 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 5: a big number. You got to win a lot of games. 1060 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 5: You're averaging about forty four hundred passing yards, about forty 1061 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,879 Speaker 5: touchdowns including rushing. That matters because Lamar Jackson and Cam 1062 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 5: Newton in there. 1063 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 2: We love repeat winners, not back to back. 1064 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 5: We don't do a lot of back to back. But 1065 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:44,880 Speaker 5: Brennan seventeen MVPs from quarterback. Fourteen of those seventeen in 1066 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,320 Speaker 5: our most recent group has been five dudes. Aaron Rodgers, 1067 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 5: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Pat Mahomes, Lamar Jackson. Those five 1068 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 5: dudes have been MVP fourteen of the last seventeen seasons. 1069 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,839 Speaker 5: We love to give to the same guys because guess what, 1070 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 5: that's why they're so valid. So that's what we're looking 1071 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 5: at here in season. Keep an eye of the advanced metrics, 1072 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,279 Speaker 5: top two EPA nine of the last eleven winners, top 1073 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 5: to EPA, and completion over expected nine to last eleven. Now, look, 1074 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 5: I have to comment briefly here. I am tweeting Lamar 1075 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 5: Jackson last year as an outlier to my system. 1076 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 2: He did not. 1077 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 5: Fit the profile. I have thoughts. You can read my 1078 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 5: tweets about them. I think it was a flawed field. 1079 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 5: Lamar was missing some of the numbers and the advanced metrics. 1080 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 5: Josh Allen had the interceptions that problem, and he didn't 1081 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 5: get enough wins. Dak Prescott not quite enough wins and 1082 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 5: failed in the marquee spots. Brock Purty we just kind 1083 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 5: of shrugged off because of Cale Shanahan. There wasn't really 1084 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 5: a strong choice. I think actually Lamar was kind of 1085 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 5: the laziest choice on the board. He is the quarterback 1086 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 5: of the only thirteen win team that really does fit 1087 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 5: the profile. We took a quarterback from the best team, 1088 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 5: so that's the setup. Patrick Mahomes is the obvious favorite here, 1089 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 5: and if you want to just be done, just pet 1090 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 5: patdor Mahomes. That's fine. I'm good with that. Best player, 1091 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 5: best team. He's my number one overall seed. You got 1092 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 5: better receivers. He's the right favorite. I think this is 1093 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 5: double what his price should be. I think you want 1094 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 5: Mahomes in your portfolio. It easily makes sense. Now last 1095 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 5: year was the worst year of his career in the 1096 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 5: regular season. Maybe that was just bad receivers. Maybe Travis Kelsey's. 1097 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 2: Falling off a little bit. 1098 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 5: Maybe they missed Eric b Enemy a little bit. I 1099 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 5: will say this about Mahomes. They start Baltimore, then Cincinnati. 1100 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,399 Speaker 5: They're breaking in a new left tackle. I don't think 1101 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 5: I need this now with MVP. We got a long season. 1102 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 5: The narratives will fly. I think you'll want Mahomes in 1103 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 5: your portfolio if you're building it. If you want to 1104 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 5: make one bet now, well never bet again. He might 1105 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,279 Speaker 5: be your guy. But I don't need the plus five 1106 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 5: hundred right now. 1107 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 3: Could call up that's good call out with the schedule 1108 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,359 Speaker 3: earlier in the year. I'm just gonna say something. 1109 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,320 Speaker 4: It almost feels like with this award two for quarterbacks, 1110 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 4: as you mentioned eleven of the previous eleven of sixteen 1111 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,439 Speaker 4: had won previously, it's almost like you're encapsulating it as 1112 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 4: a quarterback comeback player of the meaning like, hey, it's kind. 1113 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 3: Of get some parallels to NBA MVP. 1114 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 4: I guess you've got to be at the top, top tier, 1115 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 4: but that doesn't mean you suck. 1116 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 3: You just might not be. 1117 00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 4: You could be the fifth best guy that year, but 1118 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,440 Speaker 4: and have outstanding numbers. And the other thing too. You 1119 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 4: mentioned laziness as it pertains to last year. Perty and 1120 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 4: Jackson went head to head on Christmas Big Spot and 1121 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,960 Speaker 4: Purty fell on his face. Right, he threw a ton 1122 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 4: of picks and that made it. Now did Jackson play great? 1123 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 2: Now? 1124 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 4: He got short fields and it worked out well because 1125 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 4: the Ravens defense bawled out. Kind of made it easy 1126 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 4: I think for folks to say, well, party was that 1127 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 4: bad that we're just going to elevate Jackson if that 1128 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 4: makes sense. Okay, next here, so as you nail you 1129 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 4: as you map this out, Alan Stroud Burrow or your 1130 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 4: next three guys all in the AFC, so I think 1131 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,720 Speaker 4: it's four AFC quarterbacks are your favorites in this market. 1132 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,920 Speaker 4: There's a drop off from Mahomes to Allen Stroud Burrow, 1133 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 4: and then it's NFC guys Hurts at fourteen to one, 1134 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 4: Jordan Love fifteen to one, Brock Purty sixteen to one, 1135 00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 4: and then you've got guys in that plus two thousand 1136 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 4: to plus three thousand Range, Lamar Dak, Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff, Tua, 1137 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence, Matthew Stafford. 1138 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're you landing for. 1139 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 3: Your pick here. 1140 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 5: So I'm gonna just talk through these tiers a little bit. 1141 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,879 Speaker 5: That first year, Alan Stroud Burrow is all about nine 1142 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 5: or ten to one odds. I think Josh Allen those 1143 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 5: odds are fine. I think you can bet Josh Allen. 1144 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 5: He is my number two quarterback. There's a really obvious 1145 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 5: narrative Stefan Diggs is gone. We got nobody left. It's 1146 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 5: just Josh Allen doing everything. Top two fantasy quarterback four 1147 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 5: years in a row. The problem is the interceptions fifteen eighteen, 1148 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 5: fourteen in the last three years, and he always has a 1149 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 5: few of those clunker games. You get the wrong one 1150 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 5: at the wrong time. 1151 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 2: We saw what. 1152 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 5: Happened last year to Dak and the Party. I think 1153 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 5: you want Josh Allen in your portfolio, but I think 1154 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 5: you wait. Here's the schedule starting out first six games. 1155 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,320 Speaker 5: He goes at Miami, at Baltimore, the Jets, and plays 1156 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 5: the Texans in that stretch. I think you wait, you 1157 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 5: get him later. But I do like the pick here. 1158 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 5: I do think there are value to the odds here. 1159 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 5: I have them about fifteen percent. We're implied ten percent. 1160 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,319 Speaker 5: Now in that tier with Josh Allen is Joe Burrow 1161 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 5: and CJ. 1162 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 2: Stroud. I don't mind Burrow. I think his odds are 1163 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 2: a little inflated. CJ. 1164 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 5: Stroud is the worst bet you can make on the board. 1165 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:22,760 Speaker 2: CJ. 1166 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,720 Speaker 5: Stroud ten to one is a terrible bet. The defensive 1167 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,879 Speaker 5: line is not good. They're overcommitted to the run game. 1168 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 5: I think defenses will adjust and take away the deep 1169 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 5: ball and force Stroud to go short and beat them 1170 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 5: under pressure, two things he has not been good at. 1171 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 5: And I think Houston has one of the toughest schedules 1172 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 5: in the league. They threw the AFCs this year. That's 1173 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 5: Dolphins and Jets, and Bills. They do the NFC North 1174 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,359 Speaker 5: four good teams and compared to the division, every team 1175 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 5: gets three games that are different than everyone else in 1176 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 5: the division. Here are the three games. The Texans got 1177 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 5: the Chiefs and the Ravens, the other ones division winners, 1178 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 5: and then their NFC division is the cow Boys, so 1179 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 5: they're three variable games. Are Chiefs, Ravens Cowboys? That is 1180 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 5: a rough draw. Do not bet CJ. Stroud. Those are 1181 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:12,439 Speaker 5: soccer odds. Hurts, Love, Purty the top NFC guys. Look, 1182 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 5: Hurts had his chance two years ago. Perty has his 1183 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,760 Speaker 5: chance last year. History says, if you are like second 1184 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 5: or third in the odds one year, that's it. You 1185 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 5: had your shot, you had your outlayer year. You probably 1186 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 5: don't get there again. So I can't get there. I 1187 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 5: would rather pick Jordan Love than these guys. He is 1188 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 5: my fourth most likely guy that doesn't even show value 1189 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 5: here for me at plus fifteen hundred, because I think 1190 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 5: MVP is a top heavy field, even though it's not. 1191 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:37,919 Speaker 2: Priced that way necessarily. 1192 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 5: Jordan Love last year from week eleven forward six and 1193 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,959 Speaker 5: two record on pace for forty six hundred yards, thirty 1194 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 5: eight touchdowns, two picks. Here's the numbers for Aaron Rodgers 1195 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:52,240 Speaker 5: in Green Bay last MVP season forty one hundred thirty 1196 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 5: seven touchdowns, four picks. Jordan Love turned in Aaron Rodgers 1197 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 5: with eight games to go last year. I think he's 1198 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 5: gonna win MVP. 1199 00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 2: At some point. 1200 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 5: He was number two in the dvance metrics. I'm fine 1201 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 5: with him in your portfolio, but I am going to 1202 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 5: that next group down the board, and I got one 1203 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 5: guy for you this year. This is my favorite one 1204 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 5: guy pick of the podcast. I'm all in Aaron Rodgers 1205 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:19,440 Speaker 5: MVP twenty five to one. The narrative is so obvious. 1206 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 5: Forty year old Aaron Rodgers coming off the Achilles leading 1207 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 5: the New York Jets back to the playoffs for the 1208 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 5: first time since twenty ten. Come on, it's just sitting 1209 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 5: there for us. We got two great weapons, Breisse and Garrett. 1210 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 5: He got a way improved offensive line from bottom seven 1211 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,320 Speaker 5: to top seven that, frankly, he's going to get credit 1212 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 5: for because the quarterback gets credit for stuff. He already 1213 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 5: has an elite defense, he already has elite special teams, 1214 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 5: so the rest of the team is going to help 1215 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,439 Speaker 5: him win games. Team accomplishment, Brendan, the team has been good. 1216 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 5: They just needed O line and quarterback. This is my 1217 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 5: number one roster in the NFL on paper. Now, on paper, 1218 00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:59,280 Speaker 5: you gotta stay healthy. 1219 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 2: We might not heal. 1220 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 5: We got a lot of question marks here, but I 1221 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 5: have them just barely ahead of the Chiefs and the 1222 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 5: forty nine ers on paper. Aaron Rodgers has had a 1223 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 5: winning record in thirteen out of sixteen seasons. He's won 1224 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,359 Speaker 5: double digit games ten times. Last season in Green Bay, 1225 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 5: I know it's bad. He broke a thumb on his 1226 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 5: throwing hand, so I'm gonna rule that out because. 1227 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 2: The previous two years he won MVP. 1228 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 5: So the last two healthy seasons he is the two 1229 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 5: time defending MVP. 1230 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 2: I know he's forty. 1231 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 5: Tom Brady had five good years left at age forty 1232 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 5: still and was very much in the MVP mex a 1233 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 5: couple of those times. Aaron Rodgers in his career has 1234 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 5: had ten healthy seasons. He's averaged winning eleven games, and 1235 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 5: he won an MVP four to the ten times, nearly 1236 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,439 Speaker 5: half of his times he's had a healthy season, He's 1237 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 5: won MVP fourteen out of the last seventeen MVPs go 1238 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 5: to the same five dudes. Aaron Rodgers, is that dude, 1239 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 5: Monday Night, Week one at San Francisco. He hates San Francisco. 1240 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 5: They had the number one and they didn't take him. 1241 00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 5: He loves playing the forty nine ers Monday night. We're 1242 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 5: all watching you kickstart against a team that might not 1243 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 5: be ready. Then Tennessee, New England, Denver, Minnesota. Holy easy schedule. 1244 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,680 Speaker 5: The Jets are five and oh, Aaron Rodgers is back. 1245 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 5: He's the MVP leader. This dude has equal MVP odds 1246 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,520 Speaker 5: right now to Jared Goff and Tua TAGOVLOA. 1247 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 2: What are we doing? 1248 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 5: It's Aaron Rodgers. He's behind Brock Purty. I am personally insulted. 1249 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 5: This is my favorite bet of the Awards season. Aaron 1250 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 5: Rodgers twenty five to one MVP. 1251 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 2: Quickly? 1252 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 3: Can he win this award? 1253 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 4: If the Jets just make the playoffs and don't get 1254 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 4: a one or two seed because they know that fits 1255 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 4: your profile. 1256 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 5: You need the top two seed, so you gotta bet 1257 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 5: on to make the playoffs. I do think the Bills 1258 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 5: and Dolphins dropped off a little bit this year, but yeah, 1259 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 5: you certainly need a top two seed. 1260 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 2: Here. 1261 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 5: Let me just give you two names as super long 1262 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:01,840 Speaker 5: shot bombs here. Deshaun Watson crazy. I know, seventy five 1263 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 5: to one achy narrative. 1264 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 2: I got it. 1265 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 5: Great defense, great offensive line that added Jerry Judy, added 1266 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 5: Ken Dorsey on offense. The schedule is good early again, 1267 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 5: sort of like Rogers. He could build some confidence, get going. 1268 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson. The last time we saw him healthy was good. 1269 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 5: I don't think it's in there anymore, but just in 1270 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 5: case I'm wrong, seven five to one is crazy. Gino 1271 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,320 Speaker 5: Smith one hundred and fifty to one. I gave you 1272 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 5: the Seattle case already. The thing Ryan Grubb does best. 1273 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 5: Brian Grubb is throws, sets up the quarterback to throw 1274 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 5: the deep balls to DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jackson Smith 1275 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 5: and Jigba. Gino Smith is the number one deep ball 1276 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 5: thrower in the league by pfif So if Seattle makes 1277 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 5: a push, if we're right about Mike McDonald and we 1278 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 5: get to a top two seed, Gino's got a pretty 1279 00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 5: spicy narrative. Come back guy, guy that we kind of 1280 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,280 Speaker 5: left for dead. He gets some long touchdowns in there 1281 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 5: to boost the stats. I don't think these guys are 1282 00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 5: winn because Aaron Rodgers is gonna win, but I think 1283 00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 5: either to Shaun or GINO. 1284 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 2: I think we get a moment one of them. 1285 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,280 Speaker 5: I think they're in the conversation the quote unquote at 1286 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 5: some point, so I don't mind nibbling them. But it's fine. 1287 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 5: Aaron's gonna win anyway. 1288 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 4: I hate you sometimes because they're so good and really 1289 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 4: compelling and God, and you even put his name and 1290 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 4: Tom Brady the same sentence as Tom Brady. 1291 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:20,480 Speaker 3: I still disagree with a lot of it. 1292 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let's wrap it up, Brandon, quick rapid 1293 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 4: fire from all that we just discussed, really good stuff. 1294 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 4: Best bets Aaron Rodgers at twenty five to one MVP 1295 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 4: and then the other two. 1296 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 2: Please Yeah, Aaron Rodgers twenty five to one. 1297 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 5: That's my favorite single pick and my best position on 1298 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,000 Speaker 5: the pod is that defensive Player of the Year.
