1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where the show's title kind of

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: overrides the concept of Labor Day. I'm Greg Rosenthal and

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: pleased to be joined by now a repeat guest. Hopefully

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: we can make this as regular as possible. Ali Connolly,

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: who does great work over at the read Optional on Substack.

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: Him and John Ledyard do a great podcast there, renamed

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: and that's gotten.

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: Going for the year. You know him and love him.

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: He was on The.

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Menachim Show last week. Welcome Ollie, Thank you for having me.

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: This is a huge, huge week for the North of England.

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: You have me doing NFL Daily. Oasiss reform. This this

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: big popping off all over the place. And you took

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: off the hat, which like, what were you doing hiding

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: this beautiful let us you got there. You know, forget

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: the Kirk Cousins that you have because he can't rock that.

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Every single comment I see under anything I do mind

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: entire social media feed is all you.

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 4: Like Kirk Cousins.

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to do everything possible to pass the

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: Kirk Coms you pointed out last time. Not an awful

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: comp it could be way worse.

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: No, No, he's a successful man, handsome man, nice family,

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: nice guy. We spent a whole episode talking about him

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: last night, which was which was fun and a coincidence

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: because I didn't know quite how similar you look to

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: him this time. I thought it'd be fun, Ali because

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I've spent so much time, certainly over the last month,

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: but especially over the last week, like going through the

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: league as a whole and predicting and season, and it's like,

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: these games are here, We're at these games, and we

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: really haven't gone through the matchups of Week one, and

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Week one is a very different week in the NFL.

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: You know this because these teams really do prepare for

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: their Week one game longer and more extensively than they

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: really prepare for any other game until maybe the playoffs

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: where you start getting ahead of time. And so yes,

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: we have our previous show coming up on Thursday. I'm

39
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: really excited for that show every week. Steve Wish and

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Clayband are going to be with me on that.

41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: But I thought we'd get to jump on it and

42
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: look a little more just big picture into these matchups

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: we've had this long off season, Olie, and talk about

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: kind of man, what are we looking forward to the

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: most matchup wise? Just like kind of opening up a

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: box on Christmas. Week one because to me, week one

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: is still the best week. I don't know if you

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: agree with me on that or what, Ollie, Because you

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: spent a long time you've been covering soccer. You know

50
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: now you're back to doing American football full time. So

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that.

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, as excited as could be.

53
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: My favorite thing about Week one is overreactions to Week

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: one is two bad teams play each other, and you

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: think one's really good after one does really well.

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: But look, you spend a whole off season. I'm the

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: kind of person.

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: Where as we go through all the drafts, all of

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: fregent transactions, I can be critical of them in the moment,

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: and then two weeks before the start season, I started

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: talking myself and do basically every single team having an

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: appropriate plan, something that could work, some kind of change

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: they've made that may make sense, and I look forward

64
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: to within by week three, week four, immediately going that

65
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: was terrible. I was right the first go around. Everything

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: is ruined. So week one is off first tuns to

67
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: find out kind of where these seems lie.

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it. I might as well start.

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Why not the first thing I thought about. And again

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna just kind of pick out instead of like games,

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: just more concepts or matchups. Part of the matchups, I'm

72
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: going to talk about the egos running game like I

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: just want to see that off the bat because I

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: just think of the trajectory of Kellen Moore. I also

75
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: wanted to hear your thoughts on this, especially that a

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: year ago we were being sold this bill of goods

77
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: that he's going to fix the Chargers running game and

78
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: they actually had a monster week once again Week one

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: can be missed leading. I think they were over two

80
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards in that game, and you know they're doing

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: the under center stuff and the outside zone. He's mixing

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: it all up. It look great, and then they end

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: up having the worst running game in the league. Obviously,

84
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: they were effective when he was in Dallas, but now

85
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: he goes to a team in Philadelphia, which, for all

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: their troubles last year and Jalen Hurts wasn't even one

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent for a good chunk of the season. I mean,

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: they were the number five most efficient running game according

89
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: to DVOA. They were pretty effective the whole season. Obviously,

90
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: Jason Kelcey's there. You have the tush push, but he's

91
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: coming to a group and a system that's been good.

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: Now you add Saquon Barkley, the offensive line is different.

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: You go against this Packers defense, which could be a

94
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: whole nother conversation. But I have heard some reports alim

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: from Eagles training camp that they've had Hurts pretty involved

96
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: in the running game, which I think they were encouraged

97
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: by a little more running backs in the passing game,

98
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: which they talk about every year.

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: But that's exciting.

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: So I just don't know what I'm going to get

101
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: because to me, they're one of the signature units of

102
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: the entire NFL Eagles running game over the last couple

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: of years, and now it's going to be different.

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: Like what are you looking for there?

105
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: I think the number one thing you hit up top

107
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 3: is how involved as Hurts in this rung game when

108
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: they were really rolling with Shane Steike, and that to

109
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 3: me has been probably the best offense in the last

110
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: four or five years. But what all the meta trends

111
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: are on defense, how you would attack them all is

112
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: what kellum, which is what Shane Styking came up with,

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: which was a power spread offense. All five guys can

114
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: pull downhill running threat and then a really talented.

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 4: Accurate deep ball thrower.

116
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: That is like the go to way to kind of

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 3: disrupt what everyone's doing with movement up front, moving on

118
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: the back end. That's the way to get after it.

119
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: Kellen Morris someone I've been pretty critical of in the

120
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: past because he, to me, is a guy who is

121
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: only really interested in the payoff plays. He's not as

122
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: involved in the down to down sequencing of how to

123
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: get those pay of plays. There is an awful lot

124
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: of highlight social media clips, great whiteboard stuff as opposed

125
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: to maybe having a feeling and sense for like the

126
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 3: rhythm of a game itself and how to dig out

127
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: of hole when things aren't going well, which is why

128
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: I think you get moments where he has fifty five

129
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: point explosions in Dallas because everything is just clicking the

130
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: way it was designed, and he can't necessarily get himself

131
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: out of a hole when it's not flowing the same way.

132
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: So for me, he's walking into an organization where he

133
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: should just ask them all for the playbook from two

134
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: years ago.

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 4: Hand it to me.

136
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: Good stuff, Let's get rolling. That's still the best way

137
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 3: to approach this thing, and it's just getting Jalen Jalen

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: hurts a downhill run as involved as possible.

139
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so a few things there, and I can't remember

140
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: because one of my favorite things you would hit on

141
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: on your podcast, and again like, if I can do

142
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: one thing today, it's to point people towards the read

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: optional Ali's substack. I've been paying for this podcast last year.

144
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I do like the coordinators you get on for being

145
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: too flashy that they there's some that you think it's

146
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a look at me coordinators versus

147
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: having an overall smart scheme. I can't remember if Kellen

148
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Moore was in that category.

149
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: He might be the post a child of the flashy

150
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: I go viral. People write nice profiles about me because

151
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: I do interesting or cool things that draw attention, but

152
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: is it really helping the offense move?

153
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: Is it efficient enough?

154
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: And he's got some unbelievable numbers though he has worked

155
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: with incredible talent. The thing for me was he goes

156
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: to the Chargers and everyone was saying, Wow, this is

157
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: gonna be incredible just in her, but with Keller Moore,

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: and once again it becomes look how clever Keller Moore

159
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: is rather than is this thing effective?

160
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Mm and yeah again, we'll see what the difference of

161
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey not being there.

162
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a difference. But they've been

163
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: ready for this moment with Cam Jurgens.

164
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: Also, that came is on Friday night in Brazil, so

165
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: one of the best NFC games of the season. Like

166
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: it just I can't believe this is all happening, but

167
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. I'm looking forward to doing a recap of

168
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: that show. We're having Adam Lefko, who I'm a big

169
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: fan of and is an Eagles guy, who's gonna gonna

170
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: join me after the show, So he's either gonna be

171
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: bummed out or happy. Why don't you you get me

172
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: going with your first one?

173
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: OLLI.

174
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 4: My big thing is the state of the Ravens defense.

175
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: We don't have very much data on you know, defensive

176
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: football year to year fluctuates so much, it's so volatile.

177
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: These kind of new breed of we sim a bunch,

178
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: we roll a bunch in the back end. We doesn't

179
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: have much date on how those perform year to year.

180
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: So you have a first time coordinator who's not been

181
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: coaching football for a long time, with a team that

182
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: relied so much slashly on one guy in the middle

183
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: of the field being an absolute monster, and Kyle Hamilton

184
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: being the most unique player in football on the back

185
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: end and playing all three levels, going against the best

186
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: staff in football, the best player in football in primetime.

187
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: To me, it's the number one thing of I don't

188
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: expect him to, you know, find a way to confuse

189
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: and befuddle Patrick Mahomes, But it's more finding out is

190
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: he just going to run the same system as Mike

191
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: McDonald or does he have his own identity and imprint

192
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: he wants to put on the team which may be

193
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: more reliable, sustainable as the year goes along.

194
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious too.

195
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: I'll just pick that one next, which is what Mike

196
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: McDonald's going to do. But sticking on the Ravens, You're right,

197
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: it used to be a cliche. You do these shows

198
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: long enough, you find yourself repeating yourself. And there was

199
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid Week one thing going for a little while.

200
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: I feel like that's calmed down a little bit. It

201
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: definitely peaked in the Week one where Kareem Hunt just

202
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: went crazy on the Patriots in Foxborough. But he would

203
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: always come up with some stuff that you just hadn't

204
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: seen before. In Week one, Mike McDaniel does that too,

205
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: And thinking about that versus a brand new coordinator in

206
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: zach Or, I'm not as I'm not worried about their defense,

207
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: but yes, I'm curious how it's going to look. I'm

208
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: excited to see what the secondary is going to be

209
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: with Nate Wiggins, Like, that's an interesting Week one guy.

210
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: I do just put some faith, and maybe it's too

211
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: much faith that zach Orr is a great coaching prospect

212
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: just because the Ravens chose him. They apparently had four

213
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators on their own staff last year and Mike

214
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: McDonald left, and so they chose zach Orr out of

215
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: the other three. And so I guess I'm going to

216
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: give it to John Harbod that he's going to make

217
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: a smart choice, but it's hard to guess like exactly

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: what that's going to look like.

219
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think if your kind of predominant blue

220
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: chip thing, isn't that we have one or two top

221
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 3: tier pass rushers. Yeah, that to me is a thing

222
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: that's sustainable. I love the sim pressure world all the

223
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: dorky stuff.

224
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 4: I get it. I just don't know how reliable it

225
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: can be. Years.

226
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can't teach Kyle Hamilton, you can't teach

227
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: Roquan Smith. All those guys might a week I think

228
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: will still be as good as he was.

229
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: Like, well, they're still there, though they're not going anywhere.

230
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: Everyone's still there. But I just don't know.

231
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: If you give people that long to take a look

232
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: and review things and you're coming in week one, you

233
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: imagine he's going to default to the things that he

234
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: thinks worked best last year and then over time kind

235
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: of blending how he've used the game. Right, That's what

236
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: I would assume what happen Robin trying to tear it

237
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: up what was a great unit last year, and so

238
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: they've had, however long to prepare with the best player

239
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: in football, the best offensive mine of football. That's the

240
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: thing for me, And it's one of those ones. Way

241
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: it would not surprise me if it didn't look that

242
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: great in week one, and try not to overreact to.

243
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 4: It, but I do think it's something worth watching.

244
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I think you point out in terms of

245
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: the edge rushers, of course, Genevian Clowney's not there after

246
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: he had a good season. Odafe Oway has gotten a

247
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: little better every year and certainly could have a good season,

248
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: but after that, like they're starting Kyle van Noy in

249
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty four. I know Kyle Vanoy's played

250
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: well for the most part the last few years, but

251
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: that's a thin edge group. Absolutely. I do like the secondary.

252
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: It's fun, so that that's a good one to look

253
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: forward to. I might as well go to my Mike

254
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: McDonald one. It's not that deep, but it's just, you know,

255
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: what does his defense look like without a Roquan Smith

256
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: in Seattle? Because to me, their off ball linebacker situation

257
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: could be a total fiasco. I think there's some concern

258
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: about people who have watched them in training camp because

259
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Jerome Baker has not been healthy. Interroalde Doddson, we'll see

260
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't been one hundred percent either. They actually traded

261
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: for a rookie who's going to be a backup at

262
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: off ball linebacker, and so what does that look like now?

263
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: If you look at the preseason, which I guess does

264
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: tell you something. They were the leader, you know, in

265
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: stunting in the preseason percentage wise by a good amount,

266
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: and they were running a lot of sim pressures. So

267
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: for as much as people say, like the preseason doesn't

268
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: tell you anything, like Todd Bowles was the one running

269
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: the most blitzes, Mike McDonald's the one running the most stunts.

270
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they kind of do what they do even

271
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: if it was in the preseason, and I think they

272
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: have enough talent overall to make it work. But I

273
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: do love the matchup Week one, that they're going against

274
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: bow Nicks and this hype machine in Denver. That's a

275
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: little out of control and I have to stop myself

276
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: from just pushing against the fans because it's not Sean

277
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Payton or bow Nix's fault that the fans think bo

278
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Nicks is this awesome, but it does annoy me ally.

279
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: Well, Mike McDonald has the chance it's like win Week

280
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: one by closing down Bonix and a misbegotten high train

281
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: and then people saying, look, how smart might McDonald's being

282
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 3: one of the great Week one overreactions before they get

283
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: their heads club for the next five six weeks. That's

284
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: definitely in play. My big concern with I think the

285
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: linebacker stuff, the way Mike McDonald approaches things. They really

286
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: play in a pretty limited plane. You're not asking an

287
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: awful lot of people. It's pretty vertical and north south

288
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: that there's not an awful lot going on there for

289
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: those guys, So that is something you can pick up with.

290
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: I mean, he had great ones last year, and I

291
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: understand that, and that is a true cheat code. The

292
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: big thing for his defense is then Nickel has to be,

293
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: if not the best player on the unit, in the

294
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: top three, and he's only not the best one because

295
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: of the two guys are such freakazoids. That's like the

296
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: go to thing for that defense. They blitz it so

297
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: often it is crucial to the run scheme. I don't

298
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 3: want to bore people too much with the details. I

299
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: love Devon Weatherspoon. I thought he was the best corner

300
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: in that class. I'm not sure for that role where

301
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: a big part of the responsibility is being a wall

302
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: defender versus the run. The guy who hits, who comes down,

303
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: who flies around, but he doesn't scream out to me

304
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: as a guy who can like drive someone off the

305
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: ball plant and shift the blocker. It is more driving

306
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: downfield and clothes lining someone and trying to create a turnover,

307
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: So that to me is the concern that they've got

308
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: a lot of talent on the back end. I think

309
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: because of the young guys, I'm not sure that necessarily

310
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: a line to what he wants to do, which then

311
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: means he might have to switch things up and put

312
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: more pressure on the linebacking group if he can't figure

313
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: out with the secondary. So I just don't know if

314
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna get the pure uncook McDonald's right away.

315
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: I think we're going to be at least a year

316
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: away from.

317
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: It because Devin Weatherston in that defense, you know, just

318
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: from a basics point of view, it's like, oh wow,

319
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: it's hee a sneaky defensive Player of the Year candidate

320
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: or an All Pro candidate, And I am buying. There

321
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: are some preseason stories I buy, and cornerbacks are so

322
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: up and down that I am buying, like the Reek

323
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Woolen rejuvenation because he understood what went wrong on some

324
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: level last year that he'll be at least a quality

325
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: corner All it took for me, I'll were like a

326
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: few reps where he embarrassed Calvin Ridley and joint practices

327
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: and a few podcasts from Michael Shan Dugar, who does

328
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: a great job of just saying he's looked awesome, and

329
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: so I'm into that. There there's a lot of talent,

330
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: and I think way more talent than the Broncos offense.

331
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: And so that's one week, one game. I'm just curious

332
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: to see. I guess if I'm right, and if they

333
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: can dominate in that game, all right, you give me

334
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: one more and we'll take a break after that.

335
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: It's gotta be Caleb versus the Tennessee defense. Is is

336
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: this Titan defense going to be good? Do you think

337
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: they could be sneaky good?

338
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: I would tend to know. That's what I'm I'm going towards.

339
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: It's weird one because as I go through them, it

340
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: does feel like I don't know me playing Madden and

341
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: like the signing guys I've heard of in two years time.

342
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: So I understand that.

343
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: But once you look at the secondary in particular, I

344
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: do think X actually a decent amount of talent. Then

345
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: obviously the best receiving core is could be really overwhelming.

346
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: Caleb is such an unusual player and can extend and

347
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: create plays, and I get the concerns with the front seven.

348
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: I love the uns Jones pickup.

349
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: I think that can that can have an impact, and

350
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: they may not be a top twelve in DVOA type defense,

351
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: but I don't think this is anywhere near like a troubling,

352
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: dumpsterfire type unit. So I'm interested to see what that

353
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: looks like in Week one.

354
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's the same coaching trades in Ard Wilson.

355
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: You know, we don't know if he's gonna run everything

356
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the same. Actually, the way he's talked in the preseason

357
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: does not sound like he's like running a Mike McDonald

358
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: type of defense. It's gonna be a different a different scheme.

359
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: He's his own guy, and the front could be good.

360
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Devandre Sweat Again, it's camp. I just think he's had

361
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: a very positive camp, a guy that everyone was down

362
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: on and certainly lack of judgment with Dui and his

363
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: weight in everything. And yet everyone that's been at Titans

364
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: camp is like, other than Jeffrey Simmons, he's been our

365
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: most consistent defensive lineman. He's actually shown up and it's

366
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: translated and they could be good upfront. And I am

367
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: a little worried about the Bears offensive line in general.

368
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: I think Bears fans are higher on it than I am,

369
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: but is at a matchup that they could lose Week one,

370
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, that's spicy. I could see them being good.

371
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: I didn't love the Owoozia signing. It's like and he

372
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been healthy in camp. I didn't even love love

373
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: the lagarious Snead outside of Kansas City, not always being

374
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: able to practice because his knee is such a problem signing.

375
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: So that's a big mystery box, a big question mark.

376
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: But you're right, there's a chance there that they could

377
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: improve quite a bit.

378
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I am higher on the secondary than you.

379
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: I really like the safety room. I think they can

380
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: do interesting creative things with those guys. I think Sneed's

381
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 3: are really good. We'll see if you just put him

382
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: in a pure bump and run situations that you've got

383
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: nothing else to do with the rest of the game.

384
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: That should translate. There's no earthy reason why it shouldn't.

385
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: Yet for some reason, this happens every year in free age,

386
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: So these guys don't translate playing the exact same technique

387
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: as somewhere else, and for some reason it doesn't work.

388
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: The front I'm probably more down on from you. I'm

389
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: not a Devandre sweat guy. That is to me, that's

390
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: camp stuff. It's believe it when I see it. It's

391
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: believe it when it's eight straight weeks and it's snapped

392
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: a snap and it's not rotating golf and just playing

393
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: running downs and maybe possibly considering being in shape to

394
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: play football.

395
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: At this level.

396
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: So that that is the thing I will I will

397
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: definitely have to see before I believe it.

398
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's a great point too, because of course

399
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: in camp, like they're not you know, they're in pads plenty,

400
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: but they're not they're not tackling to the ground.

401
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: They're doing it. It's a totally different sport.

402
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: And they're very thin there that I have sort of

403
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: picked up on that, Like they're planning on him playing

404
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: a lot. He's certainly starting, and that's that's a little concerning.

405
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: But if you get close to prime Jeffrey Simmons and

406
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: it sounds like he's ready to go, and Harold Landry

407
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: finished out last season well and I think could have

408
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, is certainly a solid edge like they they

409
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: have guys arden Key had that suspension overturn, and so

410
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: that's a fun one. Titans Bears Week one, We're gonna

411
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: come back with a couple more things that we're just like,

412
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: we just can't wait to unwrap week one. We couldn't

413
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: even wait to do the previous show. So we'll be

414
00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: back in a couple of minutes. All right, we are

415
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: back here on NFL Daily and yeah, but the big

416
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: news in the UK.

417
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: Oasis it's back. They're back.

418
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Are you what do you? What's your oasis connection? I'll

419
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: give you a second to think about that, as I say,

420
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: my biggest connection there is the first ever weekend of

421
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: my life that I ever just got drunk for an

422
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: entire weekend because I was either a freshman or a

423
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: sophomore in high school and someone someone had a house

424
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: that was just open for the weekend and I somehow,

425
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, got you know, my parents allowed me to

426
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: sleep over there and I think I spent we spent

427
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: like two or three nights and yeah, that was that

428
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: was That ages me a little bit, but it was

429
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: definitely maybe an oasis lived forever, just basically on repeat,

430
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: like while getting drunk as a fifteen year old for

431
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: forty eight hours straight.

432
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: Well, I live in Manchester, England, as you know, I'm

433
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: from the North of England. People can't tell that from

434
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: my messed up voice of living in Boston for three

435
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: years and having the wolf's most accent. So for us,

436
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: you know, thirteen years old in a park with rock

437
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: and roll star believing and walking and talking like we

438
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: are all Liam and Nole Gallaghans. That is how I

439
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: was born and raised.

440
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: That is awesome.

441
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: I can kind of picture it, but not picture because

442
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: I've never been in Manchester. When I go, it's like

443
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: I always stay in London. This year, I really on Saturday,

444
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: I wanna Saturday usually have some free time. I want

445
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: to like get outside the city. Not that London's not amazing,

446
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: but it's time for me to venture out. Maybe you

447
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: can help me with that.

448
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: Ali.

449
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: Before that, though, let's talk more week one and hmmm,

450
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: where do I go next? Let's call Colt's defensive line.

451
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: I had a lot lay after LAT two was just

452
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: such a fun prospect to me, as fun of a

453
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: edge prospect as there's been in a couple years. And

454
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: in the preseason, the little that we saw he looked

455
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: like the same guy in college. It makes you feel

456
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: a little better that, okay, this is going to translate.

457
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: And then you think about that defensive line in general.

458
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: You know, the question for me is DeForest Buckner and

459
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: Grover Stewart gonna be close to where they have been

460
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: at their peak, because if they're anywhere close, and they've

461
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: been pretty good lately next to lat too, and you

462
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: know you have Quidy pay as the other edge that

463
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: matchup against the Texans week one, you got larm. You know,

464
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's a lot to versus tunsl which is like

465
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, film geek porn there and the whole line

466
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: in general. I have some questions about the rest of

467
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: the Texans offensive line, but that line and some good

468
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: linebackers for the Colts too against this explosive Texans offense,

469
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: and there's some familiar aler arity now between the two

470
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: coaching staff to me that that's a really exciting Week

471
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: one of just like, okay, where are these these two

472
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: sides at especially a lot too versus Tunsil could be

473
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fun.

474
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a GC one. I wish I really like

475
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: that line. I don't mind them playing a four down

476
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: and go situation. They've got the dudes, they can just

477
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: fire off the ball and make some Hey. I do

478
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: kind of wish he was with someone over them. Gous Bradley.

479
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: Not to dump on Gus Bradley particularly, but you just

480
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: went through it right. We've got this guy, this past

481
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 3: rusher who is an unusual type play. He doesn't win

482
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: in normal ways pass rushers play football. I've described him

483
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: for as like an MMA fight. Do they just like

484
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: let loose on the football field. It's a weird hand

485
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 3: movement and uncoordinated body stuff. It's not really fire off

486
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: the ball and dip around the edge or run through

487
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 3: someone's chest. I mean, he can do that stuff, but

488
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: he's at his best kind of levitating in the air

489
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: and doing unorthodox kind of TJ. Watt type things. So

490
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 3: you look at the Texans line, you say, let's just

491
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: plant this guy over the center, let him loose, and

492
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 3: we'll get like ten to fifteen pressures. Everyone else can

493
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: come screaming con and we all high five, what a

494
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: great day. There's no need for him to be caught

495
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: up in the Laramie tunsil hurricane of just the speed

496
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: and the power and a guy who is who will

497
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: be laughing if you try and hit him with some

498
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 3: weird like Bruce Lee moves and then you just wind

499
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: up in his arms. It's not gonna work. So that's

500
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: not a great match to my thinking for a lot

501
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 3: do week one. If he's going to come and try

502
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 3: and do his typical things, which I think can make

503
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: him a really, really good player in the league, I

504
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: would like to see him moved around and maybe Bradley

505
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: spent you know, six months away hanging out in the lake,

506
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: get a bit frisky and deciding to change up things

507
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: a little bit front.

508
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: It is kind of wild to think about the run

509
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: that Gus Bradley's had. I don't know if he's had

510
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: a single season where he hasn't run a defense since

511
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: he started running a defense.

512
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, he has the reputation.

513
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: You can tell me if it's changed in your eye

514
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: in any recent years of Yeah, he's gonna line him up,

515
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the four linemen, he's gonna do what

516
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: he does. I mean, he's mixed it a little bit

517
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: on the back end maybe before, but he's a little

518
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: more static and a little more just like our players

519
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: are going to be ear players more, yes, coordinators.

520
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: It's really static and it's all about which is fair

521
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: enough to the NFL. It's really hard. You got guys

522
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: rolling now injured right practice squad guys. It makes a

523
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: ton of sense to say, you get me players, I'll

524
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 3: teach them technique, will go win games. It is still

525
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: for all the fun stuff about rotations and sim pressures.

526
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: It is still sixty forty a man coverage single highly

527
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: That's what it is. So that's what he made in

528
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: him getting frisky was adding in a dose of Tampa

529
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: two and being like, hey, look at me, guys, kind

530
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 3: of getting out there over here, look at me. So

531
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be a wacky situation

532
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 3: on the back end, but he's now been given these

533
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: pieces where he could do interesting things them. It could

534
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 3: be more Niners like where it's at least an overload

535
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: front and we're trying to do something a little bit

536
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: different to get after people in the past US game.

537
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: Because he's now he's got the pieces, there's not really

538
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: an excuse I don't think for them to be one

539
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: of the best pressure teams in the league.

540
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, Deo Adigmbo is still there. Sampson Abakom just a

541
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: little update. I had mentioned he was out for the season,

542
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: we believe with an achilles. They put him on designated

543
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: to return. There was a Terrell Suggs Achilles tear ones

544
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: where he returned by the end of the season. So

545
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: if they're you know, I think they can be a

546
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: playoff team. I put them in the playoffs in our

547
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: AFC preview with Nick Wright as one of the wildcard teams.

548
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: So just something to keep an eye on that maybe

549
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: he could return. But they're fairly deep, especially on the edge.

550
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: They have Taekwon Lewis. It's a it's a fun defense.

551
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: It's a fun off. I mean, it's just a fun division.

552
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: Why don't you go with the next one?

553
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: For me, it has to be the Dallas defense. I

554
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: have no idea what this thing is going to be.

555
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 3: We get zimmer Bag. I don't think people quite understand

556
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 3: last year how corrupted they were by design for long stretches.

557
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: Because dank Quinn is considered a great coach. He had

558
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: the two really good years and he gets a head

559
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: coaching job, so he gets a job promotion, which I

560
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: think people think means he did a great job. But

561
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: structurally they were a disaster for like large chunks of

562
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: last year. And I've made this point before where it

563
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: just because you had that one by year, it doesn't

564
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 3: mean dan Quinn can't be a good head coach elsewhere.

565
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: That could be what happened in a job interview can

566
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: run a programmer's done the job before. But if he

567
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 3: just went in without any of the background stuff and

568
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: it was just a tape by tape who had a

569
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 3: good year of the year before, there is no chance

570
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: he's getting any kind of job. And so you bring

571
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: Zimmern and they do absolutely nothing. They get Eric Kendricks,

572
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: who is just like Scotch taped together as please give

573
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: us a chance. They say they're not going to run

574
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: all this three safety stuff. They're betting on Marsie Smith

575
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: and these guys to show internal development. They lose a cornerback.

576
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm pretty worried that they're not going to be anywhere

577
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: near the level people would assume they would be the

578
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: thing they've got going in their favors. I'm also not

579
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: quite sure about Deshan Watson the Cleveland Browns offense. And

580
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: we may get one week where Mike Parson sparkles and

581
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: we still think that they're a really effective group.

582
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: It's really interesting and I haven't heard it put that way.

583
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: I think you're right because of the presidence of Parsons

584
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: and just the name of Laurence, so that DeMarcus is

585
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: still a good player. He's not what he was, but

586
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: he's still a plus player to have out there, not

587
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: as much talent. And you're right, I didn't think dan

588
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: Quinn had that bad of a year. I thought he

589
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: had a bad like final six weeks. It was kind

590
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: of disastrous. It reminded me a little bit of Mike

591
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: Rabel getting the promotion to a head coaching job too,

592
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: when his defense was absolutely terrible.

593
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: Here, it's not a bad year. If you go by

594
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: some of the metrics and the measurables, it's not so bad.

595
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that if you are someone who's evaluating

596
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: a coaching job and you sit down with them and say,

597
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: walk me through what you're doing here. They have things

598
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 3: where runfit wise, they don't make any logical sense, and

599
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: it was happening weekly, and you've got you know, they're

600
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 3: playing more defensive backs than anyone else in the lead.

601
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: They got defensive backs fitting B gaps which regularly, which

602
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: is not like cool Brandon Staley stuff.

603
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 4: It's like an error.

604
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: Then they have a bunch of players when it's run

605
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: to the perimeter where two guys are arriving at the

606
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: same spot at once. So that's just either a coaching

607
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 3: issue of feeding it into the players or you've designed

608
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: a poor defense and you don't now have to spin

609
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: your way out of it midway through the year because

610
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 3: you realize we don't have any linebackers.

611
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 4: What have we done?

612
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: And that runs into this is to go and get

613
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: Zimmer and Eric Hendricks. That's the solution.

614
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Kendricks hype and I think think I've said

615
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: this on this show, so I feel bad pileing non

616
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: but this weird thing where I'll listen to Cowboys ANALYSTSS like,

617
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: well we got you know, we fixed linebacker by getting

618
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks. I was like, no, Aeron Kendricks was a

619
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: problem for their last two teams. He's got to be

620
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: a problem for your team. Zimmer coming off the shelf,

621
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: you never know, like could he get a little wild

622
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: or could it be stale?

623
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: Like he's a bit of a mystery.

624
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: Certainly one of the most effective defensive coordinators of the

625
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: last twenty years, and yet yeah, different situation.

626
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: Everyone's on the hot seat. It's weird.

627
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: He certainly is. And everyone loves Mike Zimmer. I love

628
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: Mike Zimmer. I love the tenor and tone of how

629
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: he just used football. I love the commodtioneally style when

630
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: it's kind of this like little genius hidden in there.

631
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: But he's a commercial still good on hard knocks. As

632
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: a decoordinator. It was so good with the Bengals.

633
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: It was fun.

634
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: That is my favorite kind of coach. But I think

635
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: he's a little bit misunderstood in the sense that they

636
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: were never that wacky or inventive. They did some interesting

637
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: things with Harrison Smith, and it was like, well, therefore

638
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: the whole defense must be really, you know, inventive and cool.

639
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: He's very static, it's very cover three. It's pretty traditional.

640
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: It's three linebackers as often as possible. That's why they

641
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: went and got Kendricks. It's like, you wouldn't have made

642
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: that move if that was not the style you were

643
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: expecting to run again, and dan Quinn, to be fair

644
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: to him, really overhauled the entire thing. Became a guy

645
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: who was playing a bunch too deep and rotating a lot.

646
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: It just failed.

647
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: It was just not well designed by the end of

648
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 3: the run there and was bailed out by great players

649
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 3: up front, essentially masquerading, you know, covering up a lot

650
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: of like technical flaws with the defense. I think Zimma

651
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: can at least fix those bear basics, and that is

652
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: a starting point. I just don't know if they have

653
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: that much talent.

654
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're counting on de Moon Clark maybe who knows,

655
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: he might be the fourth linebacker, but they think maybe

656
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: he develops DeMar Vean Overshan maybe improving. That's a third

657
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: round pick from a year ago development there. I've heard

658
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: there's some concerns about Marshawn Neelan and his hip coming

659
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: into the ceiling. I know he's defensive end, but they're

660
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: they're a little thinner, and you're right, just the talent

661
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: isn't quite as good, and certainly Deron Bland's injury doesn't

662
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: help there. I hate to go so Cowboys heavy and

663
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: be basic, but that was my fourth was the offense.

664
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: So I guess I gotta watch this game. I really

665
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: am interested in this game. Plus it's Brady's first game.

666
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: I have to admit as a broadcast head and a

667
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: Brady head, you know, just.

668
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: All of it.

669
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm this is my main game. I'm in Fox. I'm

670
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be like a hipster. I want to watch

671
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: this game. But it is because of the offense for

672
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to me more than the defense that this

673
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: offensive line versus the Browns defensive line. Now they've had

674
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: some injuries in camp, but you know, Miles Garrett potentially

675
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: against Geiton and or whoever they're you know, going to

676
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: have it right tackle there. It was a really effective

677
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: defensive line. I'm wondering if this Brown's defense kind of

678
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: like you mentioned with mac Mike McDonald's defense, in everyone

679
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: getting a year to kind of get used to the

680
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: scheme and everything, what is year two Jim Schwartz in Cleveland?

681
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: Can it be as effective?

682
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: And then all the questions that we have about the

683
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense, specifically to me, the offensive line coming into

684
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: the year and the running game, And I'm just I

685
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: don't really have a hot take of like how it's

686
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna go. I just want to see it and what

687
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: the heck happens. The Browns one is fascinating because that's

688
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: one where we'll know, I think within like a quarter,

689
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: like is the magic still there? They last year played

690
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: like almost a high school kind of defense. It was

691
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: seventy two percent of the time the middle of the

692
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: field is closed. They ran basically three coverages all year.

693
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: They had like four changeups. That was the entire defense.

694
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: And then they've got this outrageous pass rush, which is

695
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: just players. It was just four down and go, and

696
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: that is great coaching. It's like, I have really good players,

697
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put them in the best spot. We'll play

698
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: man coverage everywhere. It's really easy. They had really talented corners.

699
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: But when you're losing guys tow injury to just say,

700
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: this is what Belichick always did so well. Why he'd

701
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: always just find a corner by people.

702
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: How does he do that?

703
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 3: Belichick's a genius. He says, you find that guy and

704
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: you run with him everywhere. That's the job for the week.

705
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: We're not doing all cool creative coverage stuff. So I

706
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: think we'll know pretty quickly whether they still have that

707
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: kind of talent. I just don't know if it's easy

708
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: to roll with that year or year and say we're

709
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: going to be the most static, predictable defensive league and

710
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: not just you know, do well, but house people by

711
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: a big distance in terms of precious sacks, TFLs, all

712
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. So I think we'll know quickly,

713
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: and then for Dallas. I just don't trust that staff

714
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: to ever make things. It's like they as good as

715
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: Dak is and I'm a huge Dak believer. It's like

716
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 3: they think there's some kind of like extra bonus points

717
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: for being very complicated and that's how they view offensive football,

718
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: and there just isn't And if he's not got the

719
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: time and he can't create a move as well as

720
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: he has it in the past, then I think they could.

721
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: Be in trouble.

722
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it could be one of those matchup based

723
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: things that both of these units are a little worse

724
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: than everyone thinks. But it's a fun game, it's close,

725
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: it's the national game, and you feel good maybe about

726
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: both sides coming out of it. It's like, oh, that

727
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: was a good match between two good sides. And maybe

728
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: not because to me, Cook Brandon Cooks is is.

729
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: Not what he was. He hasn't been what he was.

730
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: And we'll see.

731
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: They've been high on their third receiver, whom I wanted

732
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: to say Geiton, but Jalen Tolbert, not Jalen Guitton, who's

733
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: had a good camp and everything. Ferguson's a solid, you know,

734
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: but this is a maybe a group you can cover

735
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: with man coverage other than Seee Lamb, who's not going

736
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: to have a ton of practice time before this game.

737
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap up one more pick your best

738
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: one you got remaining, Ali Connolly.

739
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 3: Best one I got remaining is Bryce Young has to

740
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: be Bryce Young? What on earth is this thing going

741
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: to look like? Do you have any idea of what

742
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: Bryson will look like?

743
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 4: In you two?

744
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: Because for me, the big thing is it's like everyone's

745
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 3: already moved on. C J. Stroud is great, we get

746
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, we get Drape May, and it's as though

747
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: an everyone outside of Carolina is like the number one

748
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: overall pick who they traded their entire frenchise to go

749
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: get might just stink and they don't want to say

750
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: it publicly.

751
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: And I hope he's going to be great. The league

752
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: will be awesome.

753
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: If Bryce Young is amazing, that would be I just

754
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: from what they've said, what they've messaged, what they've shown

755
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: in the tiny sample size possible, I'm just not buying

756
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 3: him believing it right now.

757
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: In terms of the camp progress. And you know, he

758
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: had one good preseason drive, but it's hard to take

759
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: too much out of that. I just feel like and

760
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: you can tell me what you think about Canalis that

761
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: it'll make it should make more sense. I just am

762
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: more concerned that even if he plays better, the talent

763
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: around him, is the coaching enough to like, what's the

764
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: upside here, Like, it's the ceiling's still probably pretty low

765
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: even if he plays better. I keep comping him to

766
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: Alex Smith just in terms of like where he could

767
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: go as one of the worst rookie quarterbacks of all

768
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: time to a pretty respectable second year under North Turner

769
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, where I was like, Okay,

770
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: this guy is going to have a career and be

771
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: a decent enough starter.

772
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: That's that's probably the hope.

773
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: But I still think everything around him is probably close

774
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: to bottom five level.

775
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

776
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 3: I mean the offensive line they did improve, and it

777
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 3: was such a disaster last year, but it's one of

778
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 3: those ones where they invested so much money in it.

779
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 3: It's like even if it's just like bad.

780
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Right, maybe Damian Lewis and Robert Hunt, like how many

781
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: people were talking about them as difference makers last year.

782
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, No, I think it's not going to

783
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: be great. The only thing you can buy.

784
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 3: It's like trying to give Bryce Young his second contract

785
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: now by buying other.

786
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 4: Players in the hopes he may be good and.

787
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 3: Then you can make a decision, but at some point

788
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 3: you would have to pay him then at that point,

789
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 3: So it's I think it's a gutsy strategy to basically

790
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: make yourself bad on defense.

791
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 4: We will be old and bad on defense.

792
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 3: To give this guy a hope is to their credit

793
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: of trying to find out what they got with this guy.

794
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: I just don't like the pairing of the coach of

795
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: the quarterback. I think worked to a point of Canalis

796
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: is a really good motivator, confidence builder. I view him

797
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: as more of like a glorified quarterback coach who's also

798
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: the head coach. Where I get concerned from what he's

799
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 3: been messaging and what they've shown so far is that

800
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 3: he will have a hands on role in the actual offense.

801
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 3: That gives me a cause to pause and concerned. I

802
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 3: just don't think that fits with Bryshung the player at all.

803
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: So even if you can build it slightly, I think

804
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: we're gonna end up with this season where it's like

805
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: Bryce Sung's maybe there's something in there, and that isn't

806
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: really a good answer. Either you kind of just want

807
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: to know right by the end of the year. Either

808
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: this isn't gonna work. We've got to pull the ripcorn

809
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 3: and find a way out because we've got to build

810
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: the rest of our roster. We've sunk so much money

811
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: into the offensive line. Now we're gonna have to make

812
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 3: some tough decisions.

813
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 4: Or Yeah, we got it.

814
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: There's a pathway to stardom here and we can start

815
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 3: building around that. And I think what they're building here,

816
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 3: for some strange reason, in my opinion, is some part

817
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: some kind of Jared Goffian, Baker mayfield Ian Russell wilson

818
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 3: Ian type offense that just is not a fit for Brys.

819
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: Youung the player based on the line.

820
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: Why now, Like why not?

821
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: So you said Canalis being so involved in running the

822
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: offense is almost a red flag for you. Their offensive

823
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: coordinator is Brad Idzick. Just the name Idzick freaks me out.

824
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: It's sort of like the opposite of, you know, Nepo Baby.

825
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: But I guess it worked out for him that, like

826
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: he overcame what happened with his dad with the Jets.

827
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: But why don't you think Canalis and Young fit perfectly together?

828
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 4: Yeah?

829
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: And if you go through the rest of the staff,

830
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 3: these are all his boys from Seattle. He just went

831
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: through the phone book. He brought all his boys to

832
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 3: them Seattle. They didn't go and bring out someone as

833
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: an outside high who maybe would blend more with a

834
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: true spread type style that Bryce Young I think would

835
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 3: be best. And now I've said this in a bunch

836
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 3: of places, so I'm sorry people heard this before. But

837
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: he's such an unusual player. To try and build a

838
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 3: typical offense that constrains the quarterback that is Jared Goffian

839
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: when he doesn't have those skills makes no sense. And

840
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 3: it sounds like I've been smoking when chweed or something

841
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 3: to say, you've got a bill swing no one's ever

842
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: seen before. Man, it's got to look completely different, man.

843
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 4: But I think that's true.

844
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 3: I think you need this is we've never seen someone

845
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 3: with that skill set whose best trait is tap dancing

846
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: in the backfield, right, That's the number one bryising thing.

847
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 3: Can he create and playmate from the backfield so in

848
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: a Drew Brees body, that's who he is. So what

849
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: you have to do is given as many options as

850
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: possible on every single play. You know, constraining him in

851
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 3: a two man route combination offense, whereas you hit the

852
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: deep cross while you check it down. He's just not

853
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: that player. He doesn't drive the ball down the field

854
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 3: like Russell Wilson. He doesn't drive the ball down the

855
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: field like Gered Goff. These guys where it's a point

856
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: and shoot, take that and go. That's not who he is,

857
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: and that's the style they've been running in the preseason.

858
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: It's a whole bunch of concept feed coverage. If the

859
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: concept wins, get rid of the ball. So you're trying

860
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: to make him Baker Mayfield by limiting him as much

861
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: as possible. That's what they're trying to do. When the

862
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 3: point of taking the guy would be he can create

863
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: for us, and you can only create if there are

864
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 3: as many options out in the route as possible, so

865
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 3: that he can move around, bounce and then go find

866
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: people downfield.

867
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 2: Maybe like I'm trying to think, well, what would be

868
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: good for him?

869
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: And you're right, I saw I think people underrate or

870
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: have forgotten about his potential creativity. He didn't have the

871
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: confidence to necessarily do it. Certainly he can throw with anticipation,

872
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: and he showed a little bit of that in that preseason,

873
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: just the way he was moving looked good.

874
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, this guy's in the NFL.

875
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: You realize that I'm trying to think what would be

876
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: good for him is like a like a Deshaun Watson

877
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: and Houston type of thing.

878
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 3: Even then, I mean that was again Deshaun drives the

879
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 3: ball down the field. It's really it's difficult to play

880
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 3: in an offense where you're basically in a three man situation.

881
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: That's a lot of what they do these like levels concepts,

882
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: you call them deep, intermediate, short, that's a lot of

883
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 3: what those offenses are. When your guy can't truly drive

884
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 3: it down the field, it has to be a lot

885
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: of what the Rams have done when they get into

886
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 3: empty is it's a double stack, switch releases, and then

887
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: you can just throw it open.

888
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 4: Swan runs underneath it. That's what you would need.

889
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 3: Now. I think they should be at ten, fifteen, twelve

890
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: percent in empty and just have oz on a podcast

891
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: people writing deep features.

892
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 4: How are the Panthers running empty?

893
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: It by far the highest rate since Brady was really

894
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: cooking in twenty That's what it should be, Noriy.

895
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: But that's where I threw out Watson because if I'm right,

896
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot. I was just trying

897
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: to think who can be a point guard and just

898
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: create and options and they will be fun. That's a

899
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: fun one to watch in Week one. They're playing the Saints.

900
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: I do like Week one games where it feels as

901
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: close to a must win as possible. So on one hand,

902
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: like Saints Panthers is low on everyone's list of probably

903
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: what they're watching first, and yet if that game is

904
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: fifteen to twelve in the fourth quarter, Panthers are leading

905
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: the Saints and that crowd is booing Derek Carr a

906
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: little bit and grumbling, there actually feels like there'd be

907
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: more stakes in that game because the Saints can't lose

908
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: that game to start the season than almost any other

909
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: NFL game out there. So that's fun to me. Every

910
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: game in Week one is a little fun in different ways.

911
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: It was great having you Ali again. If I can

912
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: do anything, listen to this podcast that Ali does with

913
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: John Ledyard and Oli does a great job writing too.

914
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: You can get smarter.

915
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: And so that's over at the Read Option Podcasts and

916
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: we hope to have Ali on throughout the course of

917
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: the season until Tuesday look, I'm gonna have Jordan rodriegback,

918
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: and before the season starts, we're gonna choose what would

919
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: be our ideal roster, almost like a preseason All Pro team,

920
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: but in the fifty three million roster form. It's gonna

921
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: be a fun exercise until then football's back.
