All of that demands a little 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: odd episode today in that this is the rare Thursday 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: episode that is not live and not happening on Thursday. 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: It is still going to be released on Thursday. However, 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: we are doing this episode right now. It is Wednesday, 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: which means we are firing into Sunday lines during the 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: gambling portion of our show, all the way on Wednesday. Now, 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: there's only one game that is a total stay away 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: because of that, and that's the Niner game, because we 14 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: don't know who's playing quarterback, but you know, he could 15 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: up the degree of difficulty. We are doing that because Thursday, 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: when you guys are hearing this, we will be I 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: will be probably taping first things first. That is also 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: always live, except it won't be Thursday because Thursday we 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: are flying to Kansas City. So I tell you guys 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: that on the front end in case there's any late 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,279 Speaker 1: breaking news, in case the NFL decides there's another player 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: they want to suspend for a game, but not suspend 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: him for a game. We're not gonna have that information 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: you get listen. In fact, I'm just starting there before 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: we even get to anything. Here's here is did you 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: read the NFL statement? Did you read those Did they 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: say two games? 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: Do they say it was a one game suspension? 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: No? What they said is he is suspended and he's playing. 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: That's what the NFL said. The NFL said that Jalen 31 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: Carter is suspended, but he's playing. And so listen, I'm 32 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: gonna read you the NFL's self basically ludicrous statement, and 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: then we will discuss it briefly before we get to 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: the actual game. And by the way, I wasn't calling 35 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: for Jalen Carter to be suspended, but this is an 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: absolute farce. What they wrote. The NFL wrote. Here is 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: the first line of the NFL statement, and I quote 38 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's Jalen Carter has been suspended by the commissioner for 39 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: one game. However, his suspension will be considered served and 40 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: he will be eligible to play in week two. I 41 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: am simply asking America if this can finally break the 42 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: Chiefs get all the breaks fever that has gripped the country. 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: We saw as my long standing belief that the refs 44 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: don't favor the Chiefs. The refs just aren't that good, 45 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs playing a lot of standalone games right now, 46 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: you guys watch Vikings Bears Monday night, a standalone game. 47 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: Sure felt like a couple truly awful calls really hurt 48 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: the Bears in that spot, all right, where the refs 49 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: all the ref's in the bag for JJ McCarthy. No, 50 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: they're just not that good. Friday night, we saw ty 51 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: your Tart punch Travis Kelce in the face not be 52 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: thrown out of the game and then go ahead. 53 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: I think they take it was a technicality because he 54 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: didn't close his fist. 55 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not. But here's the thing about technicalities. Technicalities 56 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: technically need to be in the rule book, and there 57 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: is nothing about open hand versus closed fist in the 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: rule book. Also, it is that would be a ludicrous 59 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: technicality because if people are wearing helmets, you you're better 60 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: off going open hand at that velocity than closed fist. 61 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: But again, I'm not complaining about that because I'm not 62 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: a whiny loser that whinds about refs but I am 63 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: saying if the tire Tart or Jalen Carter thing, it 64 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: was Chris Jones, If Chris Jones in week one spit 65 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: on Justin Herbert and then the NFL announces Chris Jones 66 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: has been suspended and he'll miss zero games. Don't tell 67 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: me if it was the don't And again these aren't 68 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: apples to apples, But imagine if the NFL had said, hey, 69 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: Rashid Rice is suspended six games for the car wreck. 70 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: As it turns out, he's served him last year when 71 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: he missed the fourteen, like, give me a break, get 72 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: and it is the NFL is really trying to have 73 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: its cake and eat it too with the since he 74 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: never played a down, I maybe maybe Demanse can accept 75 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: that if if in fact not, maybe I would accept it. 76 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: If you got to ejected from a game for something 77 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: that happened pregame, if the game has not started and 78 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: you get in a fight and they say, okay, you're 79 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: rejected in the NFL, well then you were suspended. Something 80 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: happened you didn't. You weren't a part of the game. 81 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: That game had started, and the NFL is trying to 82 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: act as if because he that no, he didn't, but 83 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: the game had started. He was not suspended the end, 84 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: So again, I don't care. I said on the TV 85 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: show that I thought the NFL would look at the 86 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: first game as kind of a de facto suspension and 87 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: just find him. That's fine, It's fine with me. I 88 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: don't think spitting on a guy gets you two games, 89 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: and they're saying it got you one. That is, honest 90 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: to God, fine with me. What I am saying is, 91 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: if there is any honor or honesty left in the media, 92 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: including my dear friend Mike Flourio and a lot of others, 93 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: they have to acknowledge that if Chris Jones had spit 94 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: on Justin Herbert gotten thrown out. And then the NFL 95 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: said Chris Jones is suspended and it is the first 96 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: suspension ever where he'll play the week he's suspended. The 97 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: articles and tweets and commentary about all once again, the 98 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: league that is given it to the Chiefs would be 99 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: through the roof and everyone knows it. I will add 100 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: to it. The weird pretty dumb if you ask me. 101 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: Conspiracy from over the summer that the NFL was not 102 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: suspending Rashi Rice for the early part of the season, 103 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: which they ended up doing because of the ratings for 104 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: the early part of the season. Chief Slate that same 105 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: exact logic would apply to this jail and Carter non 106 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: suspension suspension, So just don't give me that nonsense. The 107 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: league office at times is not all that consistent. The 108 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 1: referees are consistently inconsistent. It is not for one team 109 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: versus another. Now we can get to the actual show. 110 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: How are you, Demanse doing great? 111 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: Puffs? 112 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: We have another thing actually, before we get to the 113 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: actual show that you and I have to address. We're 114 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: going to address it in the straight voicemail segment not 115 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: making the show. Mike McDaniel, listen, he knows dead man walking, 116 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: he says. The good news and positive is I don't 117 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: see how could get worse? Oh, he can get worse. 118 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: Luca Skinny, Luca nominated for Best Defensive Player at euro Basket. 119 00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: And now there's this is Demanse trying to turn himself 120 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: into a tout And this is of course straight to voicemail, 121 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: brought to you by boost Mobile. All right, demons, I'm 122 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: not really on Instagram that much.

Venmo made twenty dollars to initiate the conversation. 127 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm told you then raised the price. Yeah, two one 128 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. 129 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: Up to two hundred. 130 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Did you get any takers? 131 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: Yeah?

I 138 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: don't I don't post on. 139 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: My story often enough for people to kind of understand 140 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: my humor. 141 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people took that seriously 142 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: and like like, well, yeah, because there's a lot of 143 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: scammy touts out there. Yeah, and I know you're I 144 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: know you're not. And this is this is a learning 145 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: moment for the for you and the show. You're now 146 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: a legitimate public person, and our reputations are too closely 147 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: tied together for you to make that type of joke 148 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: and have it be open to miss to misinterpretation, the 149 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: like just the no harm done here. But I don't 150 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: I really don't want the just scrolling Twitter and come 151 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: across awful announcing and see the headline. You know what 152 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: I mean is demands from the What's Right podcast selling picks. 153 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: I I don't want that. So we're just gonna tighten 154 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: it up a bit. We're done at all. I knew 155 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: you weren't actually selling picks. And by the way, we 156 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: provide a free service to the public, like we just 157 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: all we ask is for you to like, rate, subscribe, review, 158 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: I actually sidebar real quick and then we'll we'll get 159 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: into the meat of it. I had a business opportunity 160 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: from a company. I don't want to say the company 161 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: because I just don't want to where they wanted. Essentially, 162 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: the idea behind it was, hey, have a have a 163 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: community that gets exclusive access to your picks. They can 164 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: track it with you, your bets whatever, like a social 165 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: network type thing. And I was like, yeah, I'm I'm 166 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: not opposed to that, and they're like, yeah, so you know, 167 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: we would pay you money, you know, to be a 168 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: part of the team. But then also where the real 169 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: money would come in is you, you know, to be 170 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: a part of your community. It would be like, you know, 171 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: a dollar a month, or two dollars or five dollars 172 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: a month. I was like, gold on a second, you 173 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: want me to charge people like to be able to 174 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: see my picks early. They're like, yeah, well that's you know, 175 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: that's how people make money on this thing. I was like, 176 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I might you know, do something 177 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: with you guys, if you guys can set the entry 178 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: fee to join my community at zero dollars. And they, 179 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: by the way, they said they were to their credit, 180 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: they said they would. It's just didn't make sense for 181 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: me to do it at the time. But I'm not 182 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: the and again I'm giving you a hard time. I 183 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: knew you were kidding. I do not like the I 184 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: totally understand the Patreon or substack or model or whatever 185 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: it is for a lot of things, and that makes 186 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. But if you have a corporation 187 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: paying you then trying to also on the back end, 188 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, get a little extra money out of your 189 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: out of folks, I'm not into. Which also why I 190 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: never felt comfortable with the cameo thing. It's like I 191 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: the you have, well just one actually, okay, are you on? 192 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't really a cameo. I just took 193 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: a video on Snapchat and sent it to it and sent. 194 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: It to somebody because they asked you to. You know what, 195 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Given everything I said, I still though you're in a 196 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: different spot than me. I kind of like the idea 197 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: of you having a cameo account like ten Bucks, a 198 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: video and they'll just see who hits it. I mean, 199 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what is Yeah, exactly, wish you happy 200 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: birthday and ounce fancy draft whatever it is. All right, 201 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: probably time to get to the show. Go ahead. 202 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: So, yeah, we remember how the super Bowl went, so 203 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 2: we've got that rematch coming up this weekend, and they 204 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: are both coming off of underwhelming divisional performances. The Eagles 205 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: obviously won, but they probably did win in the fashion 206 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 2: they would have liked, and the Chiefs lost. How close 207 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: to the super Bowl? How close to the super Bowl 208 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: game do you think this will be? 209 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: Oh, I don't listen. I do not think Kansas City 210 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: is going to get blown out. I will if Kansas 211 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: City gets blown out, I will be concerned. Okay, I 212 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: also spoiler alert don't think Kansas City is going to lose. 213 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: And I think that the Chiefs being home dogs with 214 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: Patrick being healthy is a slap in the face, especially 215 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: because I do think it's fair to say Philly did 216 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: not look overwhelming in Week one, you know what I mean. 217 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: Philly looked fine, but they looked kind of lucky, not lucky, 218 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: but fortunate to get out that game with a win 219 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: against a Dallas team that there were no expectations for. Okay, 220 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: So I I also think that those of us that 221 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: have been hoping for or planning on, you know, the 222 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes light show as Brew calls it, to come back, 223 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: going to have to wait some more time because obviously 224 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: they knew they weren't gonna have Hershie Rice in this game, 225 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: but now they also won't have Xavier Worthy in this game. 226 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: And so I think it's gonna be a lot of 227 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: ball control, a lot of short intermediate stuff, and a 228 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: lot of you know, Mahomes makes some magic. But I 229 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: think you have a pissed off urgent Patrick Mahomes, and 230 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: I think he will deliver. I'm going to add to 231 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: it that where my where my concern comes in this 232 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: game is is Jalen Hurts going to have four seconds 233 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: to throw and that chief secondary not be able to 234 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: hang in there. Now, I know Jalen threw nothing but 235 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: short except for the one bomb and had nothing but 236 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: time against Dallas, But I also know that Justin Herbert 237 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: had nothing but time and carved up the chief secondary. 238 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: The part of the Week one game that was most 239 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: dispiriting and most concerning to me Demanse was how the 240 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: overall pass defense for Kansas City looks Now? Will Philadelphia 241 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: take advantage of it? Okay, like, will Philadelphia lean into 242 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: that part of their offense? I don't know. I mean, 243 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: aj Brown went fifty eight minutes in Week one without 244 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: a target and they they still moved the ball and 245 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: Jalen was brilliant scrambling. But that's another piece of this 246 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: game that does con me designed pass plays. Jail and 247 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: drops back, they wait, they wait, no one the times 248 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: the coverage holds up, no one's open. Jalen's able to run. 249 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: So I think Philly will be able to move the 250 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: ball if they lean into the passing game. I think 251 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs run defense has been one of their underrated 252 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: factors the last couple of years, and even in that 253 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl when the Chiefs got annihilated. The run defense 254 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: was obviously really impactful, or I did a good job. 255 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: I should impact those the wrong word did a good 256 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: job against Saquon. The story of the Super Bowl was 257 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: the disastrous offensive line play from Kansas City. And now 258 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see it because the Chiefs upgraded a 259 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: left tackle obviously, and the Eagles don't have the edges 260 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: they had last year. Now they still do have Jalen 261 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: Carter in this game. As we talked about, he is 262 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: suspended for this game, but he's playing in this game. 263 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: And how will those matchups look. If Patrick has even 264 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: a modicum of time, I believe he will be able 265 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: to make Hay against this Eagle secondary that I believe 266 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: is going to be a work in progress throughout the year. Obviously, 267 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: Degene is very good and Quinyan Mitchell is excellent, And 268 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: maybe I should call Degene excellent and Quenya Mitchell very good. 269 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: But they're both at the very least very good players. 270 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: But there isn't a single other person in that secondary 271 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: that you trust I as far as demands, you know, 272 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: will you panic? Should I panic? If the Chiefs are 273 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: zero to two? I The answer to that is unequivocally known. 274 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: And here is the thing that it is frustrating is 275 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: the wrong word, but annoying that folks don't see folks 276 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: speak with authority and don't have the memories. I guess 277 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: that I do on what the Chiefs have actually been in, 278 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: you know, the Mahomes era. In twenty twenty one, the 279 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs started three and four, three and four, coming off 280 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: getting blown out in the Super Bowl by Tampa. They 281 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: started the next year three and four and then found themselves, 282 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: as they always do, at the absolute worst in overtime 283 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: of the AFC Championship Game in twenty twenty three. The 284 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs in November to December lost. They had stretch where 285 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: they lost one, two, yeah, five out of eight, including 286 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: within that stretch where they lost four out of six, 287 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: and in that where they lost three out of four 288 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: and the only win came against the woeful Patriots, where 289 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: they didn't even look that good. And they responded to 290 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: that by winning the Super Bowl, the idea that they've 291 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: never had that had just been seen and even last year, 292 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: even though they never lost games, people hated how they 293 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: looked at various points in the regular season and they 294 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: found themselves in the Super Bowl again, So it is 295 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: just flatly inaccurate to say they haven't faced any regular 296 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: season adversity or downswings during this time. It's just that 297 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: the baseline is so high that they have been able 298 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: to obviously more than overcome it. But I so I 299 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't panic. I will come on here, you know, Tuesday, 300 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: if not before, if they get manhandled by an Eagles 301 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: team that I don't think as good as last year 302 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: as Eagles team, it is time for real concern, not panic, 303 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: but concern. If it's a really good game and they 304 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: end up coming up on the short end of it, 305 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: I won't panic at all. But I think Kansas City 306 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: is better than Philadelphia. And I also think this, and 307 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: this is the. 308 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: With like without the. 309 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: Without without Rice and Worthy. Well, so here's the thing 310 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: on that I think that when Rice and Worthy are back, 311 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: Philadelphia will be better than they are right now because 312 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: I think Philadelphia's defense so many new pieces, it's going 313 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: to be a you know, a work in progress, so 314 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: to speak. I also like here is and again, people 315 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: can disagree with me. People can say that I'm you know, 316 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: uh waving pom poms as Bruce says sometimes and the 317 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: you know with the pomp poms when I wave them, 318 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: all I see is you've been right every year. But 319 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: I firmly believe that given how Philadelphia played in Week one, 320 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: that had they been playing the Chargers, they lose similar 321 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: fashion the Chiefs do. And given how the Chiefs played 322 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: in Week one, had they been playing the Cowboys and 323 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: that defense, there's no concerns about the Chiefs offense right now. 324 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: Like I don't think Philly or Kansas City should be 325 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: happy at all about how Week one went. Now, I 326 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: know Philadelphia is one to zero and Kansas City's oho 327 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: and one, but it feels to me like both the 328 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: those teams had to be pretty uneasy about their performances. 329 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: The only thing Philadelphia I thought did really well in 330 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Week one was Jailen. I thought Jail and Scrambles were 331 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: just elite, you know what I mean. Jalen's ability to 332 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: make something out of nothing was phenomenal. And the only 333 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: thing the Chiefs did really well in Week one was 334 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: the Mahomes kind of magic, broken play craziness. Like nobody 335 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs or the Eagles outside of their quarterback 336 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: should feel great about Week one and so we'll see 337 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: how they both respond. But to your point, demon's about 338 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: without Rice and Worthy for Kansas City. If if Kansas 339 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: City wins the game without Rice and Worthy, that is 340 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: a shot in the arm. Well, I listen, I think 341 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: Philadelphie's got the infrastructure in the too much time. I 342 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: don't think, like there's not a lot of panic that 343 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: should happen in week you know, in week two if like, if. 344 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: Your top competition and they don't have like two of 345 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: their best offensive guys. 346 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: So here's the thing, though, I don't this is for 347 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: Philadelphia or Kansas City. I simply don't believe in cross 348 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: conference rivalries in the NFL, And I don't believe in 349 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: your top competition ever being someone in the other conference, 350 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: like because it has to be such a perfect storm 351 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: for you guys to play in a game that matters. 352 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: Like let's just say for the record, or for example, 353 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: I should say that Philly does blow out Kansas City, 354 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: just annihilates them. It looks just like the Super Bowl. 355 00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: While that would reasonably shake anyone's faith that the Chiefs 356 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: can beat the Eagles, it to me should barely shake 357 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: your faith that can the Chiefs win the Super Bowl 358 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: because like the Eagles would have to get there as 359 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs would have to get there obviously with the 360 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: Eagles would have to get there, you know. So the 361 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: in a weird way like that Charger game and how 362 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: the Chargers exploited what were Chiefs weaknesses was a bigger 363 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: concern than anything that could happen Sunday, because the Chargers 364 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: are direct competition. You play them again, you could play 365 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: them in you know, in the first round of the playoffs, 366 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: like Philadelphia maybe you know has Kansas City's number, but 367 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: the Packers clip. I mean, it doesn't even matter. And 368 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: so that the it is very rare that a cross 369 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: conference rivalry be the rivalry. It has to be almost 370 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: NBA Lebron Cavs STEPH Warriors style, where it's like these 371 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: two teams are just dominating. It's inevitable, right that where 372 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna end up. And that's just not to me 373 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: realistic here. I know you wanted to ask me about 374 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: how I'm watching the game. 375 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, what is what's going to be your plan for 376 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 2: the game? The setup are kicking people out of that. 377 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be back home. I might 378 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: stay in Kansas City for the game, but I think 379 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: I'm going to be back home. There there is a 380 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: chance I stick around and watch the game in person, 381 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's what I'm gonna do. So 382 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't have a I guess a good answer there 383 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: for you, Well, it'd be a home game, like I 384 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: certainly would never watch this a game like this on 385 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the road. And again, if people don't know the reason 386 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: we're recording this Wednesday, the reason all being Kansas City 387 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: is we are doing the show live, the TV show 388 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: live from Power and Light two o'clock Central time on Friday, 389 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: and I would love any and everyone in Kansas City 390 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: to stop by. And again, anyone that shows up with 391 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: a first Thing's first related sign, all bay you a beer. 392 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: And so the logistics or legality of that, I don't 393 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: really know. But I'm just gonna come there with a 394 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: pocket full of twenties and hand them out to people 395 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: who have first Things first signs. So that's the plan. 396 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: It'll be great. There is a level, it would seem like, 397 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: of trepidation from some other folks of how big the 398 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: crowd's gonna be. I think the crowd's gonna be pretty big. 399 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: All right. We'll get to the other Games of the 400 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: weekend and our picks of the weekend.

So both these teams have very high expectations. 431 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: Which of the teams do you think is more bound 432 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 2: to live up to the hype. 433 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: I I gotta tell you, I was really impressed by 434 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: Green Bay in Week one, really impressed. And what was 435 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: your super Bowl pick? Oh? 436 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: I gotta say that this My super Bowl pick on 437 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 2: the the AFC is the Ravens. 438 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: But this game isid wow. 439 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Wow, it's the winner of this game. I'm going 440 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: with for the super Bowl. 441 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So that's I couldn't remember. You didn't actually make 442 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: exactly Yeah, yeah, you the you you picked the Ravens 443 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: to win the super Bowl and to win the AFC obviously, 444 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: but you didn't. That's what I couldn't remember. I was like, 445 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you had one. I The Packers 446 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 1: are now in a spot where they don't need Jordan 447 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: Love to be magical or you know what I mean. 448 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: They don't need Jordan Love to look like a top 449 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: five quarterback for them to beat really good teams. They 450 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: just need him to avoid the what do you do 451 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: in Jordan Love moments would still pop up, you know, 452 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: from time to time, sometimes in a opportune times. But 453 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: a lot of really smart people were really in on 454 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: the Packers before the year. I wasn't. Before the Mica trade, 455 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't one of them. If you remember, I had 456 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: a missing the playoffs, not having a bad year, but 457 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: just being odd man out. And then they got Mike 458 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: and I said, okay, I'll put him in the playoffs. 459 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: The people who were dead in on them were saying, 460 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: the only thing that is preventing me from saying they're 461 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: going to go to the Super Bowl. Is it feels 462 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: like they're just they need one star, like a A 463 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: plus player that they have a bunch of BB plus 464 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: players need an eight, and then they get Micah Parsons, 465 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:52,239 Speaker 1: and I think that team is incredibly dangerous. Now, I 466 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: have a confession about Washington. Of all the games this 467 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: past weekend, bottom two attention to a game was Washington 468 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: against the Giants because it was just so like it 469 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: was to me, it was so obvious they were in 470 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: total control and that the Giants just had no ability 471 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: to really move the ball that I didn't ever really 472 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: lock in on it, and I haven't rewatched, so that's 473 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: just you know, I watch everything, but I'm not gonna 474 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: lie to you guys and tell you I've rewatched a 475 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: game that I haven't rewatched, or that I was totally 476 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: dialed into every second of that game. Because of the 477 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: two New York teams, the game that ended up having 478 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: my attention was the Steelers Jets Classic that I did 479 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: not expect that we were going to get. What I 480 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: do know is this though, from just casually watching that 481 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: game and then you know, looking at the numbers. If 482 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: Washington has a legitimate non Jayden Daniels run game with 483 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: Jacrossky Merritt, whose name is JA Cory. But do you 484 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: know what? He goes by Demansey. This is so good. 485 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: His name is his first name is Jacory, his last 486 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: name is uh Crosskey Merrit. But he is instead of 487 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: so first name Jackry, call me Bill. That's true. He's like, yeah, 488 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,479 Speaker 1: I like everyone to call me Bill. His name, his 489 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: name is Jackry and he goes by Bill. So you 490 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: know what more power to you? Kid? Isn't Yeah? 491 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: Isn't Bill like a short? 492 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: What is? What's the big name that Bill short for 493 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: William William? No, you would think maybe Jack. His name 494 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: is j A c o r Y. You'd call me Jack. No, 495 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: he goes by Bill. That I'm sure there's a reason 496 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: for it, but whatever, it's what he wants to be called. 497 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: He he's the reason they felt comfortable trading away Brian Robinson. 498 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: He was I think a seventh round pick that they liked. 499 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: And he goes ten for eighty two, including broke off 500 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: a forty yarder. So if they have a run game 501 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: not Jaden Reliant, that raises their ceiling. My concern with Washington, 502 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: and again I had them winning their division, so I 503 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: didn't have a huge concern. But my concern with Washington 504 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: going into the year was how good is that defense 505 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: going to be? The defense was phenomenal against the Giants, 506 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: But this is one of those eye test games. Eye 507 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: test is the wrong way to put it, but ror 508 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: shark test games. Pardon me, what are we saying? You 509 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Was that about oh Man, Washington's 510 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: defense is better than we expected? Or was that about 511 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: the Giants offense is doa and so we won't really 512 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: know until we see more, you know, more stuff later 513 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: this year. So similarly, like I am really like legit 514 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: worried about the Chief's ability to create a pass rush 515 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: and you know then guard on the back end. If 516 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: in a month Herbert has done that to everyone and 517 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: Danny Parkins is peacocking around everywhere, and you know, then 518 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, moving Joe Alt to the left tackle, 519 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: even though you lost for Sean Slater, it was fine. 520 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,959 Speaker 1: Like that offensive line is just nails. Maybe y'all feel 521 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: better about it. If this weekend, what are the Chargers? 522 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: Chargers play the Raiders this weekend. I think if the 523 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: Raiders who we don't trust their pass rush if the 524 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: Raiders are, you know, getting home on Herbert on Monday 525 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: Night football and I'm be like, oh boy, maybe the 526 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs pass rush even worse than I thought. So that's 527 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: the problem. That's the tough part about week one is 528 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: why are we seeing what I'm seeing? With all that said, 529 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: I think green Bay's got the higher of ceiling of 530 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: those two teams, and I think right now green Bay 531 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: is a real threat to come out of the conference. 532 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: Not my pick, but a real threat to come out 533 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: of the conference. As far as when it comes to 534 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Eagles, the Eagles need to be focused 535 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: on obviously themselves, but Washington in that they need. If 536 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: you're an Eagles fan, you are hoping Washington loses this 537 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: game because home field advantage is not the dire priority 538 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 1: making sure you win the NFC East. You know what 539 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean. You want to start with a bit of 540 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 1: a cushion on Washington. All right, let's go to Tampa 541 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: Bay Houston. 542 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 2: Pell Baker and the Bucks are headed to Houston to 543 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 2: take on the Texans on Sunday. Stroud called out his 544 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 2: team in Week one and said that they didn't even 545 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 2: deserve to win because they came out lolligag, lolligag. Is 546 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 2: there a problem in Houston? 547 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: I'd be worried. I listen the Texans now, they got 548 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: rid of their offensive coordinator, and you know, the hope 549 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: was that that would solve things for them. But dating 550 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: back to last season, this offense has just been a 551 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: slog And you it got papered over a bit because 552 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: they had that great playoff win against the Chargers, but 553 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: that was about Herbert melting down in the Texans defense. 554 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: The Texans defense is excellent. There is no denying how 555 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: excellent the Texans defense is. There's also no denying that. 556 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: And I, you know, I somewhat tongue in cheek point 557 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: the make the line of demarcation when CJ lecturing Caleb. 558 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: But here is the truth of the matter. CJ threw 559 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: in the regular season the first his first year into 560 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: the first two games of year two was I think 561 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: twenty one touchdowns, five picks, and three of those picks 562 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: actually came in one game. Had a gaudy record. I'm 563 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: trying to pull it up right now. Since Week two 564 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: of last year, he is I think seventeen touchdowns to 565 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: thirteen picks and the team as a losing records. That's 566 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: a large sample of that Texans offense not really cooking, 567 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: and so that part is legitimately concerning. Now I'm gonna 568 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: tell you something else about this game, though, Demi Zay. 569 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: If if Baker cooks this Texans defense, then it is 570 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: time to really start the Baker Mayfield can win league 571 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: MVP pipe train. Like, Baker didn't have an unbelievable game 572 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 1: against the Falcons, but he had clutch throws and threw 573 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: for three touchdowns. Just not Yeah, poise and a book 574 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: obviously was awesome. I thought Stafford played really well against 575 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: the Texans defense. They scored fourteen points. Like, this Texans 576 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: defense is legit fantastic. If Baker goes into Houston and 577 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 1: puts up a big number, then like I will keep 578 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: the hype train going on Tampa potentially having the league's 579 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: best offense and that being enough to get Baker in 580 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: the MVP conversation and Tampa potentially to a super Bowl. 581 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: All Right, When you think game day, you might not 582 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: think Wayfair, but you should.

So these two teams didn't start the season 612 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: how they'd like, with Cincinnati coming off that one point 613 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 2: win against the Browns and the Ravens coming off of 614 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 2: just throwing the game. So in week two they've got 615 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 2: an easy one, but just like last year, they lost 616 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 2: to Vegas and one that you wouldn't have expected them to. 617 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 2: But which one of these fan bases do you think 618 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 2: should be more going. 619 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: In the Bengals. Listen, the Ravens looked. The Ravens looked 620 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: for fifty five minutes like the best team of the 621 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: weekend by a mile. And we are now saying the 622 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: Ravens defense, you know, we have a lot of concerns 623 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: about when it looked like they were gonna allow twenty 624 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: five points to Josh Allen and the Bills, like that's fine, 625 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: Like there's no shame in allowing twenty five points to 626 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: the Bills with Josh Allen firing on all cylinders, and 627 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: the offense looked absolutely unstoppable. So yes, you're gonna have 628 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: in the back of your head all year long, like 629 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: are they gonna blow it? How are they gonna blow 630 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 1: at all that? But the Ravens, in large part for 631 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: the vast majority of that game, didn't just look good. 632 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 1: They looked like the best team in the NFL. Cincinnati 633 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: looked awful at everything, at everything that Joe Flackle's moving 634 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field. They needed the 635 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: Browns rookie kicker to miss an extra point and a 636 00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: chip shot and to have not one but two interceptions 637 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: go off of Browns players' hands. It basically handing them 638 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: to the Bengals. They couldn't protect Burrow, they couldn't move 639 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: the ball like that was as far as bad wins. 640 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,479 Speaker 1: That was as bad of a win as a team 641 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: will ever have. And so, I am, I think it 642 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: is totally I know the Bengals historically get better as 643 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: the year goes on. I am it is totally legitimate 644 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: to be highly concerned about Cincinnati, especially Demanse when you 645 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: look at it from this perspective, if we think Baltimore 646 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 1: is gonna win that division, which I think is a 647 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: fair assumption, and you look at the other teams who 648 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: could be fighting for wildcard spots and how they looked. Right, 649 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: So AFC East, nobody looked well, I guess the Jets 650 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: looked okay, but not then. But in their own division, 651 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh looked much friskier than I think expected. In the South, 652 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: I listen, the Colts and Jags looked I think better 653 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: than a lot of people expected. In the West, the Jag, 654 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Chargers looked awesome, and the Raiders looked 655 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: better than expected. The Obviously, now you might be like, well, 656 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: one of those team's gonna win the divisions. The Chiefs aren't. 657 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: That's fine, but go ahead and pencil the Chiefs in 658 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 1: for one of the playoff spots. So like the teams 659 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: that in the AFC that there were real expectations for 660 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: that looked worse than you would have hoped. Kansas City obviously, 661 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: Denver I think did, and the Patriots nobody else. And 662 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: so yeah, I'd be worried if I were Cincinnati, legitimately 663 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: worried if I were Cincinnati. All right, what are the 664 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: follow ups here? 665 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,800 Speaker 2: On Tuesday you brought you uh, you wrote off Bryce 666 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 2: Young and were starting a waiver on Caleb. Why is 667 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 2: your faith still on Trevor? 668 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: Okay, to be clear, I did not write off Bryce 669 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: Young on Tuesday. I wrote off Bryce Young. Years ago. 670 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 1: I wrote off Bryce Young probably when he showed up 671 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: to the combine five to nine bucks seventy. It's like, Okay, 672 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: that guy's not that's not gonna work and so uh 673 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: and the I now, I did say I thought he 674 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: played impossibly bad this past weekend and he's a nice kid. 675 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 1: You feel bad, but it just is what it is. 676 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:56,359 Speaker 1: Trevor showed you who he could be in year two 677 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: with a mediocre roster, when again I'm the only person 678 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 1: that cares about this was seventh in the MVP voting, 679 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: had a crazy playoff comeback and then lost to the 680 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: Chiefs in Arrowhead, Like there's no shame in any of that. 681 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 1: And then the next year, that same mediocre JAG's roster 682 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: was eight and three to start the year and then 683 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: he got hurt and the season went to hell, and 684 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: last year was an awful year, Like there is proof 685 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: of concept with Trevor, there was obviously never with Bryce 686 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: and with Caleb, we just haven't seen enough yet. And 687 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: so that's why. And I'm gonna listen, it's gonna be vindicated, 688 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 1: Like it's just the myke Trevor faith is going to 689 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: be vindicated. All right, Let's get to the Niners real quick. 690 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 2: So the Niners have some injuries in some key spots 691 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 2: with Brock party, we don't know what's going on with him, 692 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 2: Juan and Jennings a little banged up, Kittles out for 693 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 2: at least four weeks. But they have the Saints this week. 694 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 2: So do you think what they're easy schedule, that they'll 695 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 2: be able to withstand their early injuries. 696 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 1: No, Because here's the thing. At some point, your easy 697 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: schedule flips to you play a bunch of bad teams 698 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 1: that look at you and they're like we can beat them, 699 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 1: like you're the team, Like you become the easy part 700 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: of someone else's schedule. And while I don't think that's 701 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: the case for the Saints, that their next handful of 702 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: games given their injuries, particularly Listen, I'm no Brock purty guy, 703 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: but he's better than Mac Jones, particularly if Brock misses 704 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: time the Cardinals are right there with them. Then they 705 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 1: play the Jags, who are better than them. Then they 706 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 1: play the Rams, who are better than them. Then they 707 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: play the Bucks, who are much better than them. Then 708 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: they play the Falcons, who might be better than them, 709 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: and then they play the Texans, who should be better 710 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,919 Speaker 1: than them. So like I understand, everyone's like, oh my god, 711 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 1: the Niners, and it will all now after that Giants, 712 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: Rams again, Cardinals again, Panthers, Browns, Titans there you go 713 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 1: like so that and then Colts, who we all thought 714 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: was gonna be terrible but or at least I did, 715 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: and then Bear Seahawks. But I just the you, the 716 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: entire plane can't be built out of we play a 717 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 1: soft schedule, especially because we don't know. We think we 718 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: know which teams are gonna be good or bad, but 719 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: teams will surprise you and I I don't know how 720 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: the Niners, like at some point we've got to have 721 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 1: a long talk about their strength and conditioning team, Like, 722 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: you can't just always have this many soft tissue injuries, 723 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,240 Speaker 1: like the party thing's different, but that that doesn't playing 724 00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: hard is not hamstring, growing calf and But one of 725 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 1: the things is we were worried is Christian McCaffrey gonna play, 726 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: Like how concerned are we? And then Kyle Shanahan's like 727 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: thirty one touches, like do every Christian do everything we can? 728 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 1: And it's just unbelievable and so uh and you know 729 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: he was one of the only really effective Niners in 730 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: that game. 731 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 2: They go ahead, Okay, they put in the question who 732 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,319 Speaker 2: has the worst injury luck? You think over the over 733 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 2: the league. 734 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: The Chargers historically have dealt with some really bad ones. 735 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: But the Niners, as a team that's a real Super 736 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 1: Bowl contender, has just year after year after year, had 737 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. Some of it's their style of play, 738 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,720 Speaker 1: but it can't all be just that. The Niners also 739 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,280 Speaker 1: had one of their most important players during a Super 740 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 1: Bowl top its achilles, just coming onto the field Like 741 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: that's sickening and so like you know that, I mean, 742 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,879 Speaker 1: that is so crazy that that happened, like not even 743 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 1: during the play.
