For 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: this episode, we're going to focus on the AFC that'll 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: be out early Tuesday morning. We'll have the NFC episode 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: as well right here on the Action Network Podcast. Let's 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: start with the Buffalo Bills. Came up short again in 21 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: the postseason. They added offensive line Connor McGovern comes in, 22 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: They retain Jordan Poyer, they lose tremain Edmonds. I don't 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: have to give you the particular for every team ray Bam. 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: But looking at a team like Buffalo, folks, figure, can 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: they get over the hump? What do you make of 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: their offseason so far? 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't like very flashy at all. You know, 28 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: they didn't really do anything amazing. I think, you know, 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: keeping those safeties together was big, you know, resigning Poyer 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: to go along with with Micah High. You know, losing 31 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: Edmunds obviously not ideal. But you know, linebacker is one 32 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: of those positions that you don't want to overpay for. 33 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: I still think they need to address a wide receiver 34 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: a bit more. I know McKenzie's gone. They added Deontay 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: Hardy from the Saints and gave him a you know, 36 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: some more money than I thought he was going to get. 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: So I still think they got some work to do 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: at receiver and just to get over that help in general, 39 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: because you look at Cincinnati, you look at Kansas City, 40 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: and I think now you have to look at both 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: of those teams as maybe a step ahead of Buffalo, 42 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: just based on what we've seen these last couple of 43 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: postseasons and the fact that they really haven't done anything 44 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: to massively improve the roster since. 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: Buffalo drafting twenty seventh, and we'll see if they make 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: any fringe moves. They let go of Isaiah McKenzie as well. 47 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: They're still trying to build and keep upward because of 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: the other teams in the division are trying to catch them. 49 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: We'll start with Miami on that front. The Dolphins did 50 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: finish behind the Bills in the AFCAST standings. They get 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey via trade. Big addition there. They pick up 52 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: to his option. That's their future at quarterback. They do 53 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: lose Mike Kasicki, but it just to me, it feels 54 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: like that shuring up their secondary. You talk safety in Buffalo, 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: can talk corner in Miami. 56 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami, they were a good run defense. They were 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: forcing DVA against the run, but the pass was a 58 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: real problem. We know it's a passing league. They were 59 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: just twenty fifth in DVOA against the pass. So I 60 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: think adding Ramsey, you know, even at this stage in 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: his career, is still a big addition. He was still 62 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: a top ten corner in PFF grades. I think he's 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: gonna be a massive upgrade for them. And you know, 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: I think Coohu I'm in the slot was was pretty 65 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: good last year and they still have Xavi and Howard, 66 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: so suddenly this the secondary derry could be with Jit 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: and you know you, KASICKI not a major loss for them. 68 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: You know, they were playing more with durham smythe the 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: blocking tight end. So I think shoring up that defense 70 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: is big. But it's all gonna come down to Tua. 71 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: I know they signed Mike White, you know, as a 72 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: as a potential backup here, but it's really all gonna 73 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: come down to Tua and him remaining on a field. 74 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Yep, and that remains to be seen. We need more 75 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: info to find out about Miami. But I don't think 76 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: that Guy Brady is in a comm out of retirement. 77 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: I think it's Mike White, if it's not too all right. 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: The Patriots finished next in the AFC East. They win 79 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: eight nine. They have reformed, reformatted their offense. They bring 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: the Bill O'Brien as the offensive coordinator. Kasiki to New 81 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: England has connections with Bill O'Brien from Penn State. Jujus 82 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: Smith Schuster at receiver. They lose Jacoby Myers. Still, it 83 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: feels like lateral moves with the Patriots. Doesn't feel like 84 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: they've made any leaps, but they haven't also gone all 85 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: that far the other way with the retirement of Devin 86 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: mccordy as well. 87 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Patriots, I think quietly they've had at least 88 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: a better offseason than maybe the last couple of years, 89 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, making some under the radar but non flashy additions. 90 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: Juju is going to replace Myers. I think that's solid. 91 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: Kasicki at tight end gives him another pass catching option. 92 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: They signed James Robinson at running back. You know, they 93 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: love to kind of go through running backs, so maybe 94 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: they can use him. He's still young, and of course, 95 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, just getting somebody in there that's not Patricia 96 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: or Judge to coordinate the offense with Bill O'Brien. I 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: think some of these moves you gotta look at them 98 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: as a positive. Now they're in a stack division, so 99 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: they're actually last in in division odds at FanDuel at 100 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: seven to one. You know, I do think they have 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: a little more upside than maybe they're given credit for. 102 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: They also signed some offensive tackle depth with Calvin Anderson 103 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: Riley Reeves. So it's really all going to come down 104 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: for the Patriots, you know, can they kind of get 105 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: back right on offense after that kind of really a 106 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: year that stunted Mac Jones's growth. I think now with 107 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: another offensive coordinator, that remains to be seen, But I 108 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: do think they have some upside. If Jones can kind 109 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: of get last year out of his system and kind 110 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: of take a step forward from his rookie year when 111 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: he was quite good, then all these you know, kind 112 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: of as you called him, lateral moves on offense will 113 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: look a lot better. So it's going to come down 114 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: to Jones. But really I think Bill it might have 115 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: been the biggest change for New England here, and. 116 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: We talked so much about year two leap out of 117 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 2: the quarterback position, and for Mac Jones. I think a 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: lot of folks, at least to New England, they're willing 119 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: to give him take year two throat in the trash. 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: This will be the real year two with Bill O'Brien 121 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: in the fold now as the offensive coordinator. So Riley 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: Reeve can't play anymore. 123 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: But yeah, I know, I just know you gotta have 124 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: some depth though. You gotta have some depth though. I mean, 125 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, some of the teams and 126 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk about them, but signing depth is kind of 127 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: an underrated thing. It doesn't look flashy now, but some 128 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: of these teams end up putting all their eggs in 129 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: one basket in free agency, and if that guy gets hurt, 130 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know that that move is knowing void. 131 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: So a team like the Patriots, they're usually not gonna 132 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: be a you know, ever since Brady left, they were 133 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: never going to be a star a star heavy team. 134 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: You know, they were always gonna kind of be balanced, 135 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: and that's that's going to kind of be their you know, 136 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: calling card, you know, And so that that's kind of 137 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: what they're gonna have to outroster these other teams in 138 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: the AFC East because these other teams are going to 139 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: be top heavy. You'll get the Bills with their quarterback 140 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: and something, you know, Stefan Diggs and some of their 141 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: guys on defense. You look at Miami with Ramsey Now 142 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: and Tyreek and the Jets. You know, they may get Rogers, 143 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: they have some stars on defense as well. So New England, 144 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: if they're gonna win, they're gonna have to do it 145 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: by having a solid squad one to fifty three. 146 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: So we asked the question if Miami is a threat 147 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: to the Bills in the division. Well, the Jets have 148 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: the second best odds to win the AFC East at 149 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: plus two thirty at Fandel. I think a lot of 150 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: folks at Action have talked about getting the Jets ticket. 151 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: I think the value has now soared. You probably missed 152 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: your chance. Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, Alan Lazard. Now, 153 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: the Rogers thing isn't done yet as we record here 154 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: on a Monday afternoon, late March. I'm just gonna presume 155 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: he's going there. Okay, let's just make it easy, Hackets. 156 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: There is former OC in Green Bay, Alan Lazard? What 157 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: comes to mind when you think of the Jets and 158 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: what it looks like with Aaron Rodgers potentially as their quarterback. 159 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: From the betting market perspective, I see some red flags 160 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: because I think there are already kind of being priced 161 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: in anticipation of this Rogers move. And you know, we 162 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: still don't have it's not official, we don't know exactly 163 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: what the Jets are going to give up. So I'm 164 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: with you, I think there's no real value in betting 165 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Jets futures now. Now, they do have an intriguing squad 166 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: from a talent perspective, but you know, Rogers, first of all, 167 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: he had arguably the worst year of his career. I's 168 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: not certainly the worst one in quite some time, and 169 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: so at his age, you wonder if now he's really 170 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: starting to decline. I know what looked like in a 171 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: couple a couple of years ago, and then he put 172 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: up some you know, back to back MVP seasons, but 173 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, for the first time he started turning the 174 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: ball over more accuracy just wasn't there. So and you 175 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: also said he was kind of ninety percent sure he 176 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: was going to retire before going on his Darkness retreats. 177 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: So Rogers might be the biggest question mark, you know, 178 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: not just the compensation and does he actually get here, 179 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: but how well was he going to play? Because you know, 180 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: by some metrics, he wasn't all that much better than 181 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: what the Jets had. It sounds crazy, but you know, 182 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: QBR wise, he's only a couple of points better than 183 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: their disaster, the disaster that was the Jet quarterback from 184 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: last year. So I think Rogers, uh, it's gonna have 185 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: to play at a high level still because you know, 186 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: it's not just you're you're going uh, you know, you're 187 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: getting Aaron Rodgers. You're getting Aaron Rodgers, but you still 188 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: have to compete with the rest of this division, and 189 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: especially if two is healthy. Uh, it's gonna be a 190 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: tough division. So I think the Jets on paper have 191 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: a lot of talent, but being in the division that 192 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: they're in, I don't think Aaron Rodgers automatically makes them this, 193 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: uh you know, top tier contender. I think there's still 194 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: kind of a cup below. Uh you know, the Buffalos, 195 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: the Kansas City, the Cincinnatis of the world, and uh, 196 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: you know Wizard. I think is a solid signing, but 197 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: you know, Rodgers has to go there, like I don't. 198 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if Lazard has the same success with 199 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: any other quarterbacks. So overall, Jets have some upside, but 200 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: the market has already kind of priced us out of 201 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: really getting much value with any of these Jets tickets. 202 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 2: I would just to remind people too, it took him 203 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: a while Aaron Rodgers to get in sync with Christian Watson. 204 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: They are a young The Jets are talented, but their 205 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: pieces are also really young, not as established that that 206 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: could take some time, and it might be too. You 207 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: can't take your time in the AFC like you can 208 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: get away with the NFC. With that schedule you got 209 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: next year, meaning you got to get off to a 210 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: good start or be in the hunt, and you can't 211 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: play catch up down the stretchers is what they tried 212 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: to do the Packers did this past year. 213 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: And that the offensive line could still be an issue. 214 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you're relying on Mackay Beckton to come back healthy. 215 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: That that old line really was not very good last year, 216 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: and you know Becton hasn't really played, and then you 217 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: don't really you know, Tomlinson was he didn't really live 218 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: up to his contract. So there's a lot of question 219 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: marks on the line. And that's something that's never really 220 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: been much of an issue for Roger in Green Bay. 221 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: So I know, I love Wilson at receiver. Obviously, Wizards 222 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: is great. More they have some town at receiver. Breith 223 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: Haffie comes back, is gonna be a dynamic path catch 224 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: and threat out of the backfield. But the Jets are 225 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: one of those teams, you know, they could look sexier 226 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: on paper than they actually are if that offensive line 227 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: doesn't come together. Defensive line looks great, defensive general looks 228 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: pretty good. But that offensive line with the agent quarterback 229 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: to me is still concerned. 230 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: Okay, out of the AFC North Cincinnati Bengals twelve and 231 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: four found themselves in the AFC Championship Game. This time around, 232 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: they fell short to the Chiefs. So they lose some 233 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: pieces in their secondary. A couple of safeties Jesse Bates 234 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: goes to Atlanta, a couple of offensive pieces gone Hurst 235 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: p Ryan. They do met Orlando Brown from Kansas City 236 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 2: at the left tackle position. Jermaine Pratt re signed a 237 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: point now with with Cincinnati where we could feel they're 238 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 2: gonna be right up there every year. Would you make 239 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: of their offseason? I, you know, I like the Brown signing. 240 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Cincinnati continues to try to address 241 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: that offensive line, and you know, they made some additions. 242 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: Last year. They played better down to stretch, but still 243 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: wasn't as good as they liked. So Orlando Brown was 244 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: was a top twenty tackle in PFF grades among eighty 245 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: one qualifiers and they gave him four year sixty four mil. 246 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: I think that was a good signing for them, but 247 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: I am concerned about the losing both safeties. I mean this, 248 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: they're essentially gonna have to potentially be a shootout team 249 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: this year. You know, maybe Dax Hill takes a step forward, 250 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: they're relying on him. But right now, you know, just 251 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: given that it's such a passing league and a quarterback league, 252 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: I do worry about losing your entire starting backfield. I 253 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: know the second level was still good good at linebacker, 254 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: but you know that and Woozia probably comes back. He 255 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: still got Hilton, but I do worry about that secondary. 256 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: Bates was was playing at an all pro level for 257 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: much of his tenure in Cincinnati, and Von Bell was 258 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: very good last year as well. So that's what I 259 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: really worry about for them. You know, guys like Hayden Hurst, 260 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: samaj p Ryan, those pieces you can kind of those 261 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: are replaceable pieces, but those safeties, especially in tandem and 262 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: that and you have your best corner coming off of 263 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: an ACL. I just worry about that secondary, and I 264 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: think they could be in a place where they're relying 265 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: they you know, that offensive line better protect Joe Burrow 266 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: because they might be in more shootouts than they've been 267 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: a year's past. 268 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 2: And that's the irony of it, right Borrow had some 269 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: turtle problems down the stretch, and if you turn the 270 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: ball over because you don't have as much protection, which 271 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: that's fine, but can your defense then bail you out? 272 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: And that is where in a passing league having a 273 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: depleted second could be a cost for concern, but they 274 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 2: could put up points and make it not matter that 275 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: OLS is good enough. Baltimore Ravens the non exclusive franchise tag. 276 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I didn't know much about that until 277 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: this particular offseason. Lamar Jackson, I don't know. I mean again, 278 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: we could be doing this right now, Ray Bond. It 279 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: might not mean squat by Friday. Like, I don't know. 280 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: I don't know what to say about Lamar. Is he 281 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: playing for Baltimore? Is he going elsewhere? Is someone going 282 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: to match a lucrative offer? He's tweeting out contracts he's 283 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: been offered. He doesn't have an agent. What's your lead 284 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: take on the Ravens and the Lamar Jackson situation. 285 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: I've always felt that he was going to end up 286 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: back in Baltimore. I feel like, you know, they're non 287 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: exclusive tag was a you know, the negotiations are obviously 288 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: very very tough for both sides, especially with Lamar represented himself. 289 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are kind of just like all right, 290 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, go see what you can get, and they 291 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: knew that, they know they have the opportunity to match it. 292 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: So I still think he'll be back in Baltimore. You 293 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: know that thirty two MILI would be about fifteen percent 294 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: of the cap. So you know, this team, if you 295 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: look at the Ravens, I mean, what do we say 296 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: every year? But they need to do at a receiver. 297 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: They still haven't added receiver. So the Ravens, same issues 298 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: that they've had in the past are still there. And 299 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: now you have this big kind of question mark with 300 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Now I still think the defense will be 301 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: very good. But you know, we talk about their offense. 302 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: You know what, what was their big signing so far? 303 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: Resigning Justice Hill got. 304 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 2: Me literally, I have a rundown goal for us here 305 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: to take folks behind the curtain. I've got nothing for 306 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: the Ravens. I don't know what else to talk about. 307 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have one line in my notes it's Lamar Jackson. 308 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's really there's not It's kind they're kind 309 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: of in limbo, right, And I just worry because you know, 310 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: the longer you go in free agency, you're not really 311 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: getting your choice of any of these wide receivers, and 312 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: I think I think Baltimore, you know, at some point 313 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: they just really need to make a splash at that position. Uh, 314 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, even you know, regardless of who's the quarterback. 315 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this team, you know, you have an amazing 316 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: pass catching tight end and Mark Andrews, but you don't 317 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: really unlock the benefit of that if you if you 318 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: have these below average receivers. I know Bateman should be 319 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: back and he should be solid, but I still think 320 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: you need another guy to know you want to rely 321 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: on Duvernet proche. You know, maybe they address it in 322 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: the in the upcoming draft. You know, if they lose them, 323 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: are they get they get a couple of first round picks, 324 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: But right as it stands, they have the number twenty 325 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: two overall and then they don't pick again til round 326 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: three at pick at pick eighty six, and they only 327 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: have five picks in this draft. So you start wondering, okay, 328 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: like how exactly are you're going to improve that offense? 329 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: And if you lose them all and you take the picks, 330 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: I mean, your your offense is not looking good at 331 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: all even with those two first round picks. So I'm 332 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, this team, there's a lot of volatility in 333 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: a wide range of outcomes I think as to what 334 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: this offense could look like. But I still worry about 335 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: that wide receiver position regardless of what happens at quarterback. 336 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers nine to eight, another over five hundred season 337 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 2: for Mike Tomlin. They do release Miles Jack, they lose 338 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: Cam Sutton in free agency. They add to their defense 339 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: Patrick Peterson. I'm not sure all that much he has 340 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 2: left in the tank, but he comes over from Minnesota 341 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: and Cole Holcombe the addition at linebacker. So it's like 342 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: classic Pittsburgh, right on brand. They're adding to their defense 343 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: and they're gonna run the ball, and it's just they're 344 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: good moves. But I think they're trying to They're just 345 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: trying to stay strong defensively. It would be by theme. 346 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Peterson, you know, I think a lot 347 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: of sixty six point eight passer rating last year that 348 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: was number fourteen of one hundred and thirty six. Now 349 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: Kenny continued to replicate that, you know, into his you know, 350 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: well into his thirties. Now with a new team, we 351 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: will see, because Cam Sutton was pretty good as well. 352 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: I do like the Holk m signing. They also signed 353 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: a Landon Roberts, but they did lose you know, essentially 354 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: their entire linebacker card I mean, splane Jack Bush. So 355 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: for me, it's gonna come down to yes, that Pearson signing. 356 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: But really, how does Kenny Pickett look in year two? 357 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: You know, him growing with what has now become a 358 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: pretty young offense, you know across the board, a talented one, 359 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: but a young one. The line got better last year 360 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: and they signed guard Isaac Ciamulo, who was a tenth 361 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: of seventy seven guards in PFF grade. So you know, 362 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: they their offense could take a big step forward. And 363 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, they made some good moves 364 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: on defense, you can't really poke holes in anything that 365 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh did. They were nineteenth in past, so they do 366 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: need to take a little bit more of a step 367 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: forward there on defense. 368 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 2: But overall this. 369 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: Team does have some upside, and they didn't make any 370 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: moves that you kind of scratch your head or or 371 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: kind of you know, fail to make any moves. I 372 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: guess either that that we've just scratched in your head. 373 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: And they do have three picks in the top fifty seventeen. Overall, 374 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: they have the thirty second and then the forty ninth picks, 375 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: So Pittsburgh's actually you know, obviously they have a great 376 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: coach as well, So I think I think Pittsburgh's actually 377 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: in a decent spot, you know, you know, even though 378 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: they're with the last odds in that in the longest 379 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: sides in that division had about six to one thins 380 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: in a decent spot and has some webside. 381 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, George Pickens and kind of came on at the 382 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: end of the year, and it's a classic Pittsburgh. They 383 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: trade Claypool mid season or for the deadline, and then 384 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 2: you watch Pittsburgh's gonna draft somebody else in like the 385 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: third or fourth round, and they're gonna fit right in 386 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: third or fourth on the depth chart, and you're gonna go, oh, 387 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh out of it again, gonna second round pick for Chase Claypool, 388 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: will plug someone else in and we'll make it work. 389 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: At least the track record. That's what the track record 390 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 2: tells us. 391 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they could go you know, I mean, the 392 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: three top fifty picks, they could go to defensive players. 393 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: Even with the first two. I mean, if if they 394 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: could just get you know, one more receiver to kind 395 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: of replenish what they lost with Claypool. You know, they 396 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: still got Johnson and picking with Friar Moose, they get 397 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: one more receiver. I think the line is in decent 398 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: shape if they just kind of get that defense from 399 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: average to very good again, I think they're undervalued in 400 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: the market. 401 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns are plus four thirty. That the key with them, 402 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: as we see, we'll get to Sean Watson we think 403 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: for a full season, but some additions and subtractions both 404 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 2: on defense defensive end. They bring in Tomlinson at defensive 405 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: tackle from the Vikings Thornhill the safeties in addition, John 406 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: Johnson Jadavion Clowney both released any other for Cleveland are 407 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 2: they Are they undervalued right now? Or do you need 408 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 2: to see more? Do you like the surrounding cast for Watson? 409 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: I mean Watson himself, you know that was a head stretcher, 410 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, because they don't have Dacobe Brissett anymore. 411 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: So who was better, by the way, who's better than 412 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson for them? So this was a very good 413 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: offense under Bersette. It was not a very good offense 414 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: under Watson. You can only hope that he kind of 415 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 1: regains his form. If he does, I think you're in 416 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: good shape. On offense, you obviously have Chubb, you still 417 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: have a good old line, you have two good receivers 418 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: and a good tight end. On defense, I think Tom 419 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: Winson was big. They also signed Tristan Hill Maury's Hirst, 420 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: so they not they got the big splash sign but 421 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: they also signed depth at defensive tackle, and they really 422 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: really needed guys on the interior. I mean they were 423 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: just getting pushed around, you know, inside last year they 424 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: were bottom five team in terms of run defense, So 425 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: I like those Thornhill was the top twenty safety last year. 426 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: They also signed u Obi o'curonquo from from from Houston. 427 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: I believe it was he He was a pretty good 428 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: edge player. So up front they've improved. Uh you know, 429 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: I like the Thornhill signing, and the offense depends on Watson, 430 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: so another team could be a little bit undervalue. But 431 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's tough to kind of project Watson. Now, 432 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, was that just because of the long layoff 433 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: or you know, is this gonna be kind of what 434 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: are we not going to see that dominant player that 435 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: we saw in the past. I think that's the question. 436 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: But this team does have a lot of upside because 437 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: if Watson pans out, uh, you know, and given you 438 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: know their signings up front, they're not going to have 439 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: many holes across this roster. 440 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: Let's go to the AFC South Jacksonville Jaguars, your division 441 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: winner last year. They came on in the second half 442 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: of the season. Trevor Lawrence made that leap, Christian Kirk 443 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 2: emerged as a great receiver at TN running back. Actually, 444 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: they've got pretty much the whole crew back. But they 445 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: did lose their right tackle, Jawan Taylor, to free agency, 446 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: and that was kind of expected. I think like the 447 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 2: Chiefs cut them. Of course, the Patriots were connected, so 448 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 2: a bunch of teams are connected to him. He's a 449 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: great player. What about the offseason though, to get better 450 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: and kind of establish Jaguar I just I don't know 451 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 2: if there's enough confidence. I don't have enough confidence to 452 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 2: say at minus one forty five right now to win 453 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: that division. The Jags are definitely winning the division again 454 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 2: next year, even though they probably should. 455 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they didn't do much and then they're talking 456 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: about building through the draft this year after they had 457 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: the big free agency last year, and I think that 458 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: is a sharp thing to do. I still think their 459 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: all line could be better. You know, Sheriff obviously didn't. 460 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 1: I don't think he played as well as they had 461 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: hoped last year. You mentioned, you know, them losing Taylor, 462 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: so I do think the old line could still be 463 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: a little better. Maybe they'll address that. But in terms 464 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: of the skill positions, I think they're set with Calvin 465 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: Ridley come back, Christian Kirk. You still got Evan Ingram 466 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: so etn as you mentioned, so I like that side 467 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: of the ball. And then defensively, you know, obviously you 468 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: got to get better there, so you talk about building 469 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: through the draft. I think you need to get more 470 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: help at cornerback. You know, Tavon Tyson Campbell, excuse me, 471 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: it was very good last year, but you need to 472 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: get him some help. And I think you need to 473 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: get better up front as well. So that's what they 474 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: need to address in the draft. But I think they're 475 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: a bit overvalued here just because all these other teams 476 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: in that division have you know, draft capital, and they're 477 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: just kind of a wide range of outcomes in terms 478 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: of what could happen with the quarterbacks. For each of 479 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: those teams, and until we know what's going to happen 480 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks of those other teams, it's hard to say. Okay, 481 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are the prohibited favorite. So you know, I 482 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: think last year was the year to buy low on 483 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Now they're kind of priced appropriately or maybe 484 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: even a little overvalued. But I think the value in 485 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: the futures market is going to be on these other 486 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: teams who, you know, we really don't know exactly what 487 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: their roster is going to look like at some key 488 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: positions just because of what they're going to do in 489 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: the draft. 490 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're really not that good like the other 491 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: teams in their division. 492 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: They're not. Yeah, but you don't always need much to 493 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: in the AFC South that you know the Jags. You know, 494 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: the Jags could could be in nine to eight team 495 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: again depending you know, we got to see what they 496 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: do in in in the draft. But at the same time, 497 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, maybe now you know, year two under Doug 498 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: Peterson Trevor Lawrence, I think could take a major step forward. 499 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: I think Ridley is going to really help. So that's 500 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: what you're kind of banking on. But I would like 501 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: to see that defense get a little better before I 502 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: crown the Jags. 503 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 2: Tennessee plus two eighty. So you go from minus one 504 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: forty five Jacksonville, you jump all the way to plus 505 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: two eighty next team in that on the FanDuel sportsbook, 506 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: Tennessee loses guard Nate Davis. That they lose Robert Woods, 507 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 2: who wasn't all that productive upon his arrival there. What 508 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 2: about I don't know. I don't know what to say 509 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: about the Titans. Do you have something you can tell me, 510 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: because I don't know much about what with what they've 511 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: been up to the spring winter, they've been. 512 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: Mosing a lot of offensive linemen. I'll tell you that. 513 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't justin Nate Davis. It was Ben Jones, 514 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: who was the top ten center last year, Taylor Lwan, 515 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: a long time tackle. Now they did add Daniel Runskill 516 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: from San Francisco, UH and Andre Dillard from Philadelphia. You know, 517 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: on defense, they made some additions arden Key Aziz al Shire, 518 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: but they lost David Wong. They lost the Marcus Walker, 519 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: so they're essentially losing good players and replacing them with 520 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: good players, you know, on defense in the front seven 521 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: and across the offensive line, but still have holes at 522 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: receiver and there's still you know, there's still some uncertainty 523 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: about like they say, hey, we're going forward with with Tannehill, 524 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: but we're still hear in trade rumors. You know, they 525 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: got the new GM Ran cart On. Uh, you know, 526 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: draft wise, I mean they only got six picks, they 527 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: got the eleventh overall. But you know, it looks like 528 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: this team. You know, Mike Rabel is always able to 529 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: work magic and you know, especially with that defense. But 530 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: I mean the offensive cupboard, they're gonna really like the 531 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: cupboard seems pretty bare on offense. Uh, you know, at 532 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: these skill positions, they're gonna be relying on a lot 533 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: of young guys. I mean, I guess you're going with 534 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: Traylon Burks and maybe hoping Phillips can can can kind 535 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: of cold continue to grow and become your slot receiver. 536 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: And and and I do like the tight end uh 537 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: Chego Conco. But I just you know, I just don't 538 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: see this passing game they got it. They got to 539 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: get back to when you know, that that level when 540 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: they had a J. Brown and and you know, Traylon 541 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: Burk's gonna have to take a big step forward for 542 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: that to happen. But at the same time, this is 543 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: a well coached team and you know it might not 544 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: look flashy, but it's one of the reasons why I say, hey, 545 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, don't crown the Jaguars, because the Titans make 546 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: a you know, the right moves on offense. If they 547 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: if they can hit on their picks, and they're going 548 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: to have to, then they could be right there. Then 549 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: they could be back, you know where where we've seen 550 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. But I think it 551 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: really is gonna come down and hitting on their picks 552 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: because you look at what they've done and it's just 553 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: really been kind of lateral moves for them. In free agency. 554 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 2: When they played Kansas City Week nine on the road, 555 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: Malik Willis like freezing cold. They like, that's the kind 556 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 2: of game they still want to win unless they have 557 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 2: a more competent passing game and that draft picks Tannehill 558 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: or Willis will find out. 559 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: That's not I don't think it's gonna be Willis at 560 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: this point. I mean, they benched him for Josh Doabs 561 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: that the Willis experiment might be over. I mean, I 562 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: don't know if they would say that. 563 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 2: But well maybe they're in on Lamar Jackson. 564 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we never know. I mean that's what 565 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: I say. You know, again, there's so much uncertainty with 566 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback position is essentially open, you know, in a 567 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: way in some senses for all three of these other teams, 568 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: which which is interesting. I know the Titans are saying 569 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: they're going to move forward with Tannehill, but a lot 570 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: of trade rumors and I'm sure that you know, if 571 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: they had, you know, maybe Lamar Jackson is still on 572 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: the table so tightened. They're a team to watch. And again, 573 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 1: I think their defense will be fine, and you know, 574 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: their offense is just about you know, if they can 575 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: if Bert's takes a step forward, if they can add 576 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: another receiver, suddenly you know they're they're back to being 577 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, an average, average kind of team that could 578 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: in the right in the right year, win you know, 579 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: nine ten games. So I wouldn't count the Titans out 580 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: just yet. To have a lot of respect for Mike 581 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: Vrabel and that coaching staff. 582 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: I agree Colts are also connected to Lamar Jackson, thank god. Well, 583 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: the only person who might be upset about Matt Ryan 584 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 2: departing is Jill Gallant. So we can't take a perception 585 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: prop anymore next year. But Matt Ryan has not. Matt 586 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 2: Ryan has not officially retired. He's just not there anymore. 587 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: He got released. Steph Gilmore is gone. He's in Dallas now. 588 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: They've lost a little depth at linebacker. They have a 589 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: new head coach, Gardner Minshew was there assigning at quarterback. 590 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: They get that Niners defensive end. I think who can 591 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: commit and be an impact player the Colts. We said 592 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: this last year too, and I still feel the same way. 593 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: Ray Baugh. You tell me they've still got pieces at 594 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: individual positions. I just got to see. We got to 595 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 2: see how it can all mesh and come together. What 596 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 2: do you think so far at the Colts? 597 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is a team that they have pieces. 598 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: But for me, when I look at the coach, I'm 599 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: looking where's the stars? You know, who are the stars? 600 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: Who are the guys that against good players are you know, 601 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: you have a lot of guys that are are average 602 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: to good. But you kind of sum it up and 603 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: look at the some of the parts and you know, 604 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: things don't go right and it could be another four 605 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: to four win type of you know, especially you know 606 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: you lose Gilmour who was, you know, probably your best 607 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: player last year. So that's concerning in Bobby Ocaraka was 608 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: a very important because I know they had a lot 609 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: they feel good about their linebacker depth, so I'm not 610 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: going to knock them too much for losing him with 611 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, that's still uh, you know, it's still a 612 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: loss of a guy who's been playing really well for them. Now, 613 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: at least they seem to have fixed their kicker issue. 614 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: Matt Gay ninety four field goal percentage over his last 615 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: two years. Indianapolis kickers just eighty two percent on field 616 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: goals a year ago, so at least at least they've 617 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,479 Speaker 1: done that. But I really think for them, it's going 618 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: to come down to, uh, you know, what do they 619 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: do at quarterback, And it's likely going to come through 620 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: the draft, you know, outside shot. I guess at at 621 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 1: at Lamar Jackson, but I think this team needs, you know, 622 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. And you know, I know they resigned 623 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: Ashton doing they let Paris Campbell go, so I do 624 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: think they need another pass catcher as well, whether that 625 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: player comes at tight end or or you know, their 626 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: third wide receiver, which I think would be preferable because 627 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: I like Johanni Woods at tight end, but his team 628 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: need it, just needs more high upside guys that those 629 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: true true difference makers, which I don't think they have yet. 630 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: But you know, they have the fourth overall pick, and 631 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: they have a bunch of picks on day three as well. 632 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: You know, I think five picks on day three to 633 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: build some depth. But I'm really looking for the star 634 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: power from India. If not, I think I would still 635 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: probably trust the Titans over them just because of their 636 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: coaching staff. 637 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: Two picks ahead of the Colts, the Houston Texans. They 638 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 2: are picking now behind the Carolina Panthers after that big 639 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: trade between Chicago and Carolina. So the number two pick 640 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 2: in the draft, I would call that. In addition, depending 641 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: on what they do with it, likely a quarterback, which 642 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: one I don't know, and we'll save that. That's a 643 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: way of plugging the draft podcast for doing the NFL 644 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 2: Draft podcast myself, Luke Swayne, Travis Reid. Case of these 645 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks. They bringing Noah Brown, Robert Woods staying in division, 646 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: Demiko Ryans as their new head coach for the Texans. 647 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 2: They any interest any interest in in Bryce the Bryce 648 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 2: Young Texans or the Anthony richardson Texans, what you read 649 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 2: on the Texans and how did just if you want, 650 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: if you want to remind the people, how did you 651 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 2: bet the Texans as the season went down the stretch 652 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: in terms of the games they played in? 653 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: I did you bet the Texans? 654 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 2: I don't, Okay, this is a question. I was just 655 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: making sure. Okay, so you didn't, so you stayed away. 656 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 2: I mean I. 657 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: Remember betting them down the stretch like they were playing 658 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: hard for maybe Yeah. So this is the team that 659 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: they'll probably be undervalued on a week to week basis, 660 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: if that's what you're getting at, because there'll be an 661 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: underdog in probably all of their games. I think they 662 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: have some considerable upside because you look at their draft capital. 663 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: They have the number two, the number twelve, the thirty three, 664 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: sixty five, and seventy three, so they have five picks 665 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: in the top seventy three, and then they have you know, 666 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: another handful of picks coming on Day three as well, 667 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: including the you know, the one oh four in round four. 668 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: So they're gonna be able to to significantly improve the 669 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: roster in the draft. It's already a young roster. I 670 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: think Demico Ryans, Uh, you know, the defense should play 671 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: well obviously, it's really the offense I think has to 672 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: make huge strides. Because I like the Jimmy Ward signing 673 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: for you know, at safety, he was a top six 674 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: safety in PFF grades. He is going on his age 675 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: thirty two season. But it didn't show any signs of 676 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: falling off. Sheldon Rankins Uh, you know up the middle, 677 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: Hassan Ridgeway, they had a check on defense, and then 678 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: Shaq Mason to the interior. I don't think Robert Woods 679 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: is gonna move the needle in any. 680 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 2: Type of way. 681 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: But if they can, if they can hit on their 682 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: quarterback and add some weapons, you know, a couple of receivers, 683 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: this team could suddenly be again just kind of below 684 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: average or you know, kind of sneaking toward average and 685 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: and be right there with these other teams. So I 686 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: think the Texans are a team that if I'm looking 687 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: at value in his division, I think the Jaguars will 688 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: probably probably have the least value just based on the 689 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: futures market, just because of how they're priced, and the 690 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: Texans probably have the most, you know, just because of 691 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, you have a new coach, just so much uncertainty, 692 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: new coach, you're going to get a new quarterback, and 693 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: you have all this draft capital twelve picks in total, 694 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: five in the top seventy three. This roster could look 695 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 1: significantly different in about a month and a half. 696 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 2: Let's wrap our AFC episode with the AFC West, the 697 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 2: reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. They bring in Juwan Taylor, 698 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 2: who had talked about Jacksonville losing. Taylor goes to the 699 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 2: Chiefs fills the void of Orlando Brown, so they shore 700 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 2: up their offensive line. Patrick Mahomes did some restructuring of 701 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 2: his contract, but no surprise, they're gonna lose guys because 702 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: of the money they've invested in other positions. So no 703 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: Brown shusters out one Thord Hill's out, Andrew Wiley right tackle, 704 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 2: He's out. I guess this comes back to the confidence 705 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 2: you have and the coach and the quarterback to keep 706 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 2: this train on the tracks and remain a powerhouse. So 707 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 2: look at the Kansas City based on how they finished 708 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 2: and what they were able to retain and what they lost, 709 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 2: are you confident that they can They'll be fine despite 710 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 2: their losses. 711 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: We're always going to be fine with Patrick Mahomes. But 712 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't love. I don't like their offseason. I'll tell 713 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: you that. First of all, Juwan Taylor, you know, I know, 714 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,479 Speaker 1: you know the reputation, but you just look at him 715 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: and compare him to Brown and how they played last year. 716 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: You know, Taylor was sixty fifth of eighty one qualified 717 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: tackles in TFF grades. Orlando Brown was nineteen. So that's 718 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: a big drop off. If Taylor doesn't kind of improve 719 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: his play and he's only played a handful of snaps 720 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: a left tackle over the last few years, and they're 721 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: going to be relying on him to do that, you'll 722 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: lose both of your tackles. And you know, remember what 723 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: happened to the Chiefs when they had old line isshoes. 724 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: You know, they got to the Super Bowl but then 725 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 1: got destroyed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So you know, 726 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,919 Speaker 1: I don't like that. They don't that their offensive line 727 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: looks like it took a step back, because I think 728 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: that was a big reason why they had kind of 729 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: gotten over the hope again, you know, was because they 730 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: showed up that offensive line after that loss to the Buck. 731 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: So I don't love it that they would lose both 732 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: of their their tackles. Uh, you know, go, you know, 733 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: losing Thornhill, I know you got cooked. You're going to 734 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: try to replace them with him, And he did sign 735 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: Mike Edwards, but Mike Edwards wasn't very good last year. 736 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: We'll see if he can improve and inspect Noah's scheme. 737 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,720 Speaker 1: But overall, I think, you know, they lost more talent 738 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: than than they added, and so, uh it's interesting because 739 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: you also look at Cincinnati and that secondary may not 740 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: be as good. Uh, Buffalo didn't you know, didn't really 741 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: get better either, So it could just it could be 742 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: one of those situations where the AFC, you know, those 743 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: are the your top three teams, but a little bit 744 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: more more of a toss up, you know, then we 745 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: think if if these teams can't get better. So yeah, 746 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: I didn't love Kansas City's offseason, but you got my 747 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: homes and you know, they figured they were able to 748 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: weather the storm with the loss of Hill. So we'll 749 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: see how they draft. But as of right now and 750 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: where they stand, they lost more talent than than they 751 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: have gained in free agency, which you know, I guess 752 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: you can kind of expect as a as a championship winner. 753 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: Well that's a that's a good theme I think for 754 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: those three teams too, like they've got to hit if 755 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 2: they want to stay perennial in their conference and in 756 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 2: their respective divisions, they have to keep drafting well. 757 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: And the Chase did that last year. You know, they 758 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: got they got contributions from a bunch of young players 759 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: and that made the difference. So you know, they have 760 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: the thirty first pick, you know, because they were very good. 761 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: So they picked essentially last or right second last in 762 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: each round, so not ideal, but they have shown the 763 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: ability to hit hit on their picks, and they do 764 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: have quite a few picks on Day three, so you know, 765 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: maybe you get another contributor like a Pacheco last year, 766 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: somebody like that. So I'll be paying a lot of 767 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: attention to their draft. I think anyone who's interested in 768 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: kind of betting NFL futures, you know, the drafts for 769 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: these top contenders are going to be more I think 770 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: than they have in the last few years, because I 771 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: do think they need they need to hit on some 772 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: picks to kind of stay stay well ahead of the 773 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: pack or they're going to kind of fall back into 774 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: the pack and you're going to start to see, you know, 775 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: one of these upstart teams. Maybe challenge challenge that top three. 776 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 2: Chargers at plus three point fifty behind the Chiefs to 777 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: come out of the division in the AFC West. So 778 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 2: Eric Kendricks they pick him up at linebacker. There's the 779 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 2: Austin Eckler stuff, which I guess he's he's got permission 780 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 2: to seek a trade and find a partner. So that's 781 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: an incomplete If that happens, that changes a lot. But 782 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 2: what I'm more interested in Kellen Moore comes over to 783 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: be the offensive coordinator. He leaves Dallas to take the 784 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: same job. It's kind of like what we talked about 785 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 2: with New England. But Justin Herbert's really already good at 786 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 2: least overcame a battle line. But does the new OC 787 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 2: give you more confidence? Does it make you stay the 788 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 2: same do you just kind of look at it same 789 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 2: way as it was before with Kellen Moore as the 790 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 2: new OC for Justin Herbert in Los Angeles. 791 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 1: You know, I don't really think a new OC puts 792 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: them over the top. I think I think health puts 793 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: them over the top. I mean, last year, I think 794 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: that was the main issue is that you know, they 795 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: couldn't get Keenan out on the field for for most 796 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: of the year. Mike Williams was in and out of 797 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: the lineup. You know it just you know, they had 798 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,439 Speaker 1: echwhere healthy. But and now if you talk about trading Echwa, 799 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: I mean, what is a running back really getting even 800 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: as good as he is, you know, exactly what is 801 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 1: a running back netting you trade wise? You know, compared 802 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: to just you know, keeping him together with Herbert Now 803 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: and you know, like you know, they seem if Ekwers 804 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,479 Speaker 1: has the potential to get traded, it seems more likely, 805 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, they take a step back than forward. Now, 806 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, health is going to play a bit factor. 807 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: But I think this team has a ton of upside. 808 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: But you know, I echuher I think is worth more 809 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: to the Chargers than probably a lot of other teams 810 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: at this at this point. So I don't think Kellen 811 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: Moore moves the needle. I think this team is always 812 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: going to have a ton of upside, and Brandon Staley 813 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: coaches in a manner that you know it's gonna be 814 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, risk reward. But you know, I still the defense, 815 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know, there's question marks about the defense. 816 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: You know, j C. Jackson was a bust is last year. 817 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: You know, can can you get anything out of him 818 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: or is that a lost cause? You know, can he 819 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: keep both the healthy? But you know Mac is a 820 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: year older. You got to keep those guys on the 821 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: field together to really unlock your defense. And along with 822 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: Derbot Dermam James. So you know, Kendricks is a nice addition. 823 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: He wasn't amazing last year. He's actually a little bit 824 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: below average in terms of his grade and and he 825 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: is a little bit older now at thirty one. So 826 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: I think this team still has the same upside that 827 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: we've kind of been tantalized with in the past. But 828 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: if they trade eck where I mean that even though 829 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: he's a running back, I still think that's that's not ideal. 830 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 2: He's not quite a disposable razor. He's like's not He's 831 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 2: like one of those fancy, like eight dollars ones you 832 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 2: buy Gillette, you know, those ones who have to really 833 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 2: invest in, not the ninety nine cent bag at Walgreens 834 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 2: or CVS. Raiders. They had Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback, they 835 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 2: bring Jacoby Myers, they lose Darren Waller. Raiders. Are they 836 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 2: that much better or their defense is still kind of 837 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 2: not great. So what do you make at Garoppolo reuniting 838 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 2: with Big Daniels. I like Garoppolo. 839 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: I mean he's been good when he's played, but you know, 840 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: Derek Carry rarely missed games. Now you're going to a 841 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: quarterback in Jimmy g who you gotta expect two miss games. 842 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 1: And then y also lost Jared Stidham, who showed promises 843 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 1: a backup and you know probably could have spots, you know, 844 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 1: giving you a couple of spot starts. You know Myers 845 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: I like him as a player, but you always wonder 846 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 1: will he be his do as well outside of New England. 847 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 1: Now he is going, you know, reuniting with McDaniel, so 848 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's he will. But you know, Waller, even 849 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: though he didn't play much last year, I think that's 850 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: still a loss. And then you look at the guys 851 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: they added in free agency. Robert Splaine at linebacker rated 852 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: out as one of the worst in the league last year. 853 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: Brandon facing that corner graded out is one of the 854 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: worst in the league last year. Marcus Epps at safety 855 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,919 Speaker 1: graded out is one of the worst in the league. 856 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: Last year. They lost defensive tackle Andrew Billings, who raided 857 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: out as one of the better defensive tackles last year 858 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,479 Speaker 1: Cleveland Ferrell, who was you know, not really what they'd 859 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: hoped he'd be, but it was about we average. So 860 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: all their moves in free agency outside of you know, 861 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 1: they either made lateral moves or and on defense, they 862 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: didn't really do anything to improve a defense that was 863 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: thirty first in DVOA at least, you know, with the players, 864 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: if the players are going to continue to play like 865 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,760 Speaker 1: they did last year. So I'm still very worried about 866 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: the defense, and I think this could go bad in 867 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: a hurry if Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, suffers another injury, 868 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: which you know he's been known to do. So I 869 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: am this is a team I'm probably staying away from now. 870 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: They do have some some decent draft capital. They have 871 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: five picks in the top one hundred and nine, so 872 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to hit on those. And because they 873 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,360 Speaker 1: need some depth, they need reinforcements all through the defense, 874 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: and they can't really afford injuries right now. So I 875 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: think this team still has more downside than it has 876 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: upside at this point, especially when you're playing Kansas City 877 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: twice a year and now you got Sean Payton potentially 878 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: restoring order to that Broncos team that still has some talent. 879 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: You know, Las Vegas to me seems ticketed for last 880 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: place finish. 881 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fascinated. But we have the NFC episode out 882 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 2: as well, when we talked Derek Carr. If Derek Carr 883 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 2: has a good year with a team that is a 884 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 2: competent defense and it doesn't go well for Jimmy Garoppolo, 885 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 2: who's always had a good defense New England, San Francisco. 886 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 2: I find that whole dynamic interesting because Derek Carr has 887 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 2: a real opportunity to say, see, I just never had 888 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 2: a good situation like Matt Stafford never had a great 889 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 2: situation in Detroit before they started getting players. AnyWho Denver 890 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 2: talk about this. So the Raiders have draft capital, the 891 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos don't, and Sean Payton still decided to go there. 892 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 2: They don't have the fifth pick that belongs to Seattle 893 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 2: because of the Russell Wilson trade. P Ryne's in. They 894 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 2: get Zach Allen on the defense, they added offensive line 895 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 2: as well. But the key here is can Sean Payton 896 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 2: fix Russell Wilson and can they overcome that contract and 897 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 2: how he played last year and can they And I 898 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 2: know Judy and Sutton have been mixed in trade talks 899 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 2: and they might make moves there. But what is Sean 900 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 2: Payton walking into in terms of what they've got going on. 901 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: Well, the defense, you know, should still be good. That's 902 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: so that's a positive. And you know we've seen Sean 903 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: Payton kind of make it work with weird, weird offenses. 904 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'll say that. You know, it's that always pretty. 905 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when he needed to make it 906 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: work with Taysom Mill, he made it work with Taysom Mill. 907 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: What he needed to make it work with the noodle 908 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: arm Drew Brees at the end of his career, he 909 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 1: made it work with him. So I'd give him the 910 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. He's the third most profitable coach 911 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 1: in our bet Labs database, which extends back two decades. 912 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: Against the spread. He's won thirty three, one oh five 913 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: and three fifty six percent. He's also the second most 914 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: profitable coach of one hundred and forty three as an underdog, 915 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,720 Speaker 1: got forty six, twenty nine and two sixty one percent. 916 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: So Peyton tends to exceed expectations. No picks until round 917 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: three really hurts. Uh, you know McGlinchey on the old line, 918 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,280 Speaker 1: I think it was important. He's he's an above average tackle, 919 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: although pass blocking he wasn't as good as run blocking, 920 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: so I think they're gonna need to protect Russ. But 921 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: Ben Powers I think was a nice signing for them 922 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: from Baltimore and the interior. He was the number two 923 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 1: pass blocking guard last year, so overall defense will be fine. 924 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they should trade Judy. I think Sutton 925 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: would be the guy you moved. Just something about these bigger, 926 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 1: bodied wide receivers. I just think the career, you know, 927 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 1: the trajectory for those guys, especially after a major injury. 928 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's as much of a ceiling 929 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: there as as there was prior to the injury. So 930 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 1: but I do think Sean Payton, if this defense is good, 931 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: he could kind of get this team back to respectability 932 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: and and so I wouldn't count him out. But you know, 933 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are still a team to beat in this division. 934 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 1: I think I think it's the Broncos could challenge the 935 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: Chargers for second place if Sean Payton kind of figures 936 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 1: things out. So it's gonna be a competitive division. But yeah, 937 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: I think the I think the Broncos are in a 938 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 1: decent spot, but solely because of their coach at this point, 939 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: because you know, they're not going to be like what 940 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: we see now roster wise. It's great on defense, but 941 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: they're not really going to be able to do much more, 942 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: not picking until the third round, and Westy just you know, 943 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: have an amazing draft and hit on some you know, 944 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: all pro talents in that third round where they have 945 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:21,919 Speaker 1: two picks back to back. 946 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Raybon, good stuff.
