You may have 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.200 heard me at the end of last week on things 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.440 like roto experts in the morning on Fantasy Sports today. 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.640 So I do have some stuff that I got right, 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.240 we do have some stuff that I got wrong. Then 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.080 what we're going to do is we're gonna take a 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.120 look at the what was eight and it is now 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.960 down to I believe five coaching op opportunities, vacancies openings, 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.680 here's still in the NFL. And we're gonna talk about 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.120 kind of my considerations, my factors that I think about 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.359 in terms of, you know, what's a more desirable job 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.160 than others. Okay, I'm gonna give you the different factors 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.320 and how I would view some of these openings that 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.600 are still available. And I'll tell you there's a reason 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.440 why guys out of college maybe taking the Arizona job, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.280 maybe why more established names are looking for other jobs. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.000 We'll talk about that a little bit later on, and then, 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.800 as always, we will put the fun and functional sports 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.200 content as we get on into the show.

That's what I'm 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.640 talking about. Dilly dilly to g falls and everybody out there. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.720 All right, let's catch on up. Let's catch on up. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.720 All right, So here's what you'll need to know moving 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.920 into this week. Alright, let's he'll still keep it live 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.400 on what it is that is important alright going forward, 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.120 there are a couple of things for teams that are 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.000 still playing one in Dallas. Okay, they are going to 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.599 be very cautious around Cold Beasley's ankle. You saw Alan 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.839 Hearns go down get carded off, he's gone. Right, you 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.119 saw Beasley though, whatever it was, twisted Spring, Dankle, whatever 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.280 it is, They're gonna be real cautious because there's not 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.680 in left after that, right, what is it Gallup and 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.080 Tavon Austin, you know, after that's all, just be known 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.920 that when you see, you know, tomorrow Cole Beasley not 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.760 necessarily practicing or whatever it is, they're gonna treat him 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.920 with kid gloves because they need him on. I guess 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.720 that's Saturday night against the Los Angeles Rams. What I 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.440 think is huge for this week, the charges have activated 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.400 on to Henry, all right, and I think that is 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.559 an important thing. Listen, We're we're we're not talking about 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.159 fantasy as much anymore, right, Yes, on Thursday, I will 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.400 still give you out a DFS lineup. By the way, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.760 I got a wide receiver for you in DFS this 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.480 week that is the bare minimum on FanDuel at D 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.520 and he's actually the number two wide receiver for a 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.200 explosive offense. I'll tell you who that is at the 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.120 end of the show. Maybe you know in the chat room. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.160 I'll let you know if you are correct. But Hunter 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.080 Henry being activated, I think is a big deal for 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.480 the charges. He's not gonna play sixty snaps. I understand that. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.040 But on third downs in the red zone, basically all 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.599 the times when Rivers looks for Antonio Gates, and you 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.120 even saw that on Sunday against Baltimore, Gates would be 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.440 in for like two plays and Rivers would target him 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.120 on third down. Okay, I do think Hunter Henry is 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.039 going to be helpful third down red zones and they're 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.839 gonna need it up there in Foxboro this week. Also 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.880 a little note on the team that is done for 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.719 the season as of last weekend, DA Marius Thomas says 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.640 he is not considering retirement. You know what, he's gonna 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.560 have to consider a smaller paycheck if he wants to 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.680 stick with the Houston Texans. Remember they're gonna have Little 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.800 Fuller coming back. And I think d hop Fuller and 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.599 dts Marius Thomas would make a very already a nice 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.640 wide receiving room with Hopkins being all around, stud Fuller 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.160 being to take the top off guy, and DT being 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.320 more of the chain mover, the plot or the almost 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.600 tight end of this group. I think that makes a 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.440 great wide receiver room. But DT is gonna have to 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.599 accept less money. Well that happened, I don't know. Um. Also, 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.640 we're gonna start as time goes on after the um 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.040 you know, after the playoffs, and we're gonna start breaking 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.440 down the NFL Draft, NFL free agency, things that that nature. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.159 We'll talk a little NBA as well. But I do 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.280 want to let you know that Dwayne Haskins, the Ohio 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.560 State quarterback who was likely the number one quarterback off 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.640 the board in this April's draft, did in fact declaire, 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.960 Remember Justin Herbert from Oregon is going back to school, 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.560 So it is going to be Haskins, and my humble opinion, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.040 that is going to be the first quarterback off the board. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:52.200 The first five teams of the draft don't really need quarterbacks. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.039 Have their guy, you know, Arizona with Rose, and the 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.080 Jets with Donald. The nine is with Jimmy g you know, 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.560 uh Car with the Raiders and stuff like that. But 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.800 at six you got the Giants, At seven you got Jacksonville. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.240 All right, those are the two teams that I think 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.640 if it falls to them, they'd be really happy to 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.640 snatch up Haskins. The problem is one of these other 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.040 quarterback needy teams, right, whether it's Um, I don't know Miami, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.240 whether it's Washington or maybe it's a supprise. I think 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.440 there may be a surprise in Cincinnati. You need a 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.360 good quarterback. I think there might be a surprise in Detroit. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.040 Um might one of those teams make a trade up 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.160 to two, three or four something like that to leap 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.680 frog the Giants, and the Jaguars will keep an eye 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.200 out on that. All right, here's the other thing we 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.840 got coaching news. Yes we're talking about coaches. Jim Ross 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.960 four now, okay, uh um Dt will be frough gazy. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.040 Maybe Haskins might be as well. But here's the thing. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.679 I listen, Jim, I've said Jacksonville was gonna go with Flacco. 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.480 I said that about two months ago. I've been saying 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.680 he's gonna be the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think what they 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.960 might do, though, is bring in Flacco but treat him 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.320 as a bridge and still draft a quarterback. It won't 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.440 be Haskins, won't be a first round guy. Maybe they 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.200 get a guy like Will Greer in the like second 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.680 or third round, and they try to cultivate him instead 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.240 of what they've done before, which is spending the draft 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.200 capital with you know, Bordal service, and then it set 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.320 their franchise back like five years. I can see Jacksonville 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.520 signing a guy like Flacco or maybe a guy like Tyrod, 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.080 maybe Teddy Bridgewater, those kind of names, but then still 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.080 drafting a quarterback maybe though, if they have that, you know, 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.360 the guy to keep the seat warmed, maybe they don't 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.520 spend their number one pick over at seven or or 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.600 trade up, but they do spend the second round pick. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.880 You know, I'm talking about number thirty eight overall, could 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.160 be a guy like you know, Browning from Washington, Uh, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.160 Greer from West Virginia. Right, it could be something like that. 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.320 What are the Giants gonna do? I think if Haskins 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.760 is there, they'll take him what I think they should do, 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:49.680 and what I think the Jets should do, and what 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.160 I think a lot of teams should do. And we're 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.040 gonna go off on this tangent. Why because the status 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.360 would beat. Cipher is talking about it on the UH 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.120 in the chat room. Right. What I think those teams 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.440 will do and what I wreck commend teams doing this year? 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.920 It's trade down? Okay. This is notoriously known the two 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.679 thousand nineteen class as being kind of light on skill 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.960 position talent. There ain't no stud quarterbacks, there ain't no 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.319 stud wideouts, they ain't no stud running backs, that sort 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.640 of stuff. But this draft class is very deep in 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.400 terms of the trenches, offensive lineman, defensive lineman, that sort 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.320 of thing. So I want the Jets to hopefully have 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.559 one of those teams want to leap frog these quarterback 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.000 heavy teams or needy teams. Go up to three and 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.080 get my Jets pick and let the Jets trade down 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.760 and draft multiple offensive lineman. You know, It's sort of 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.880 worked for the Indianapolis Colts. They took the Jets pick, 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.040 they traded down, they drafted Quentin Nelson, they drafted Darius Leonard. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.600 It worked out for them and turned that team around. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.280 So we'll see about that, um. But yes, in coaching 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.520 news is what we do have. The Packers have hired 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.760 Matt Lafleur. He was the former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinated 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.840 I'm gonna tell you right now, he didn't do jack 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.480 the last year while at Tennessee. That impressed me. Okay, 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.599 the reason the Packers got this guy is because he 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.000 is from the Sean McVeigh and Kyle Shanahan coaching Tree. 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.319 Everybody wants a piece of basically Sean McVeigh and those derivatives, 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.840 right and Shanahan. Everybody wants that, you know, new offensive 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.520 mind that's gonna bring shifts and pop passes, you know, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.760 and all that stuff to the NFL. That's what's hot 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.080 right now, that's what's in vogue right now, and that's 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.720 what um that's what the Packers are doing with La Fleur. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.040 Hopefully he can mix with Aaron Rodgers, because, to be 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.320 quite honest, if Aaron Rodgers saying with you, you're gonna 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.280 be out, just ask Matt McCarthy, Mike McCarthy. Um more 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.440 coaching news today, two other jobs Dot grabbed today. All Right, 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.560 we've got Bruce Arians. He's going to the Tampa Bay Bucks. 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.760 All right, that's been made official. I personally, it hasn't 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.920 been made official yet. I personally think he's gonna turn 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.679 around and hire his former defensive coordinator and the former 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.400 coordinator of my New York Jets, Todd Bowles. I think 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:58.160 he will become ba's defensive coordinator over in Tampa. I 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.040 think it's a good thing. You know, Bruce Arians, they 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.520 throw the ball, he goes down the field, right, And 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.480 I think that's a boost to Jamis Winston. I think 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.680 it's a boost Mike Evans if you want to know 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.480 the truth, Okay, de Shawan Jackson is not gonna be 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.079 there next year. Adam Humfreeze is not gonna be there. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.400 He's a free agent. So we're talking about Mike Evans 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.640 and we're talking about Chris Godwin, and I think both 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.480 of those wide receivers stand to get a little bit 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.040 of a bump. Mike Evans back into back end wide 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.440 receiver one territory and Godwin, quite frankly, is gonna be 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.720 this year's Kenny Golladay. For me, I think I'm gonna 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.120 be real high on him. I think he's gonna be 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.679 a high end wide wide receiver three, if not better 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.080 in a Bruce Arian system. Thinking about when he was 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.760 in Arizona, what they wanted to do with Carson Palmer 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.280 was throw the ball down field. I think that is 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:40.920 what they're going to try and do with Kurt Warner 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.959 as well. The other piece of news, and I think, listen, 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.720 if not now, then when for Jamis Winston. Right, So 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.800 I gotta be encouraged if I'm a Jamis owner in 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.920 a dynasty or something like that, and he's gonna have 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.240 one chance at it. Will the work. If not, Ba's 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.080 gonna move on. Um. The other coaching news that was 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.760 made official today, UM, Cliff Kingsbury, Uh, you know, kind 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.319 of hot shot coach coordinator. He was a coach over 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.320 at Texas Tech. I believe he was at USC as 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.880 a coordinator. Now he will be the new head coach 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:14.120 of the Arizona Cardinals. Okay, I gotta tell you in 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.120 our next segment, we're gonna start talking about these coaching 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.760 openings and the factors to consider and how I would 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.719 rank them. I'm gonna tell you right now, I have 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.640 the cards pretty low, and let me tell you why. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.040 So it is no surprise to me, honestly that the 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.800 cards had to go into the Cardinals had to go 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.440 into the college ranks to get their coach. You know, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.280 Mike McCarthy was not banging on their door. Bruce Arians 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.720 was not, you know, trying to get to Arizona. Back 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.760 to Arizona, you know. And here's why. When you look 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.840 at these things, and I got this pole question up 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:48.839 right now on Twitter as well. My question, you know is, um, 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.800 what are the considerations? What are the considerations that a 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.360 coach needs, you know, to to take a job or 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.920 to take a job as appealing. Um, and and here's 0:12:59.920 --> 0:13:02.280 the options, here's the options. Right? Is it just the 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.000 quarterback that you have? Is just the quarterback that you have? 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.680 Is it? Um? The front office for example, like you 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.720 saw in San Francisco when Lynch and Shanahan got hired together. 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.439 You know, people are worried here in New York or 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.080 maccagan is gonna hire a new coach. But then if 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.760 that doesn't work, he's gonna be gone. Like do you 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:20.560 need to be in simpatico with your owner in front office? Right? So? 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.560 Is it that is the quarterback you have? Is it 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.079 the strength of your division? You know, like you gotta 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.840 win your division first. And if you're in a really 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.760 tough division like the Cardinals, for example, they're gonna be 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.280 dealing with the Rams for the next few years. The 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.280 San Francisco forty nine is are on the come? Would 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.320 Jimmy g The Seattle Seahawks are a blue chip franchise 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.800 as long as Carol and Russell Wilson are there. That's 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:46.640 a tough division to compete in. You know, the AFC East. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.640 When the Dolphins and the Jets opening that might be 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.120 a little bit easier. Yeah, you got Tom Brady there 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.319 and the Pets. But if you're a new head coach 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.240 and you're thinking you're gonna be there for five, six, seven, eight, 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.600 ten years, Brady is gonna be gone into you three years, 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.120 whatever it is, and then that division really opens up 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.079 right in two years. I'd much rather be coaching in 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.440 the a f C East for my path to the 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.120 division title is a lot easier than in the NFC West, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:11.880 while I'm gonna be dealing with the Rams and the 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.720 Niners and stuff like that on the come. Right. So 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.199 those are my four kind of different criteria. If you 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.000 think it's something else, let me know right now. Excuse me. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.120 The last one is like the rest of the non 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.080 quarterback you know, the rest of your assets, your roster, 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.200 your cap space to sign free agents, the draft picks, 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.640 you have that kind of stuff to go reload. From 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.480 a talent aspect, what are the things you think should 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.040 be the primary consideration. Will check in on that pole 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:42.120 a little bit later on in the show. All right, um, So, 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.440 as I mentioned though, those are the big new names 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.360 that are there, uh La, Florida Green, Bay b A. 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.520 Bruce Arians to Tampa and Kingsbury Cliff Kingsbury over to Arizona. 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.520 All right, so let's talk about these games. First of all, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.440 on Friday on Roado Experts in the morning. You know 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.800 what I said is my biggest narrative, and this is 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.600 something that Speed's got right know him to say, is 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.000 my biggest narrative. I said, watch these first time quarterbacks 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.680 defecate the mattress. I want to see if any of 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.000 these first time quarterbacks in the playoffs, they don't have 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.680 to be rookies, but their first time in the playoffs, 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.200 if the lights are too bright for them. And what 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.040 do you know, DeShawn Watson had a twenty three point 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.640 for QBR. He went twenty ninety nine, right, he threw 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.160 a pick. He was missing open throws. I think a 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.240 lot of that game for Indie was on Deshaun Watson. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.800 You know about Lamar Jackson on Sunday afternoon, right, he 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:35.080 fumbled like what seventeen times? You know, he literally completed 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.760 one pass at like one thirty pm Eastern time to 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.400 complete another pass for real time for like two hours. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.920 He wasn't ready, He wasn't playing well, right, And then 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.760 Mr Bisky. Yeah, he got three hundred yards. His team 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.440 lost and he had a forty nine QBR. He didn't 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.720 play that well. He missed some wide open things as well. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.040 So I gotta tell you something. One of my biggest 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.600 things going into wild Card weekend was going to be 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.440 are these first year quarterbacks able to hold their own, 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.360 you know, and able to keep it going? And largely 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.120 they didn't. Speed's got that right, So I asked you, 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.880 what does that mean this weekend for Patty Mahomes and 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.680 the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm telling you right now, because 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.080 this Indianapolis team, they are hot and I like them. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.920 They are them in the charges to me, two of 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.280 the most complete teams in the NFL, or at least 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.440 in the a f C right now. I mean Andrew 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.440 Luck was carving them up left and right. He knows 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.200 him and Frank Reich, I'm talking. They said it on 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.040 the telecast. They were talking about it like it was 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.560 Sean Payton and Drew Brees together. Right. Luck is getting 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.000 his strength back. He had that stretch of like three 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.320 plus touchdowns for like seven or eight games, and this 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.640 was against and that offensive line. Okay, that offensive line 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.800 that allowed up quarterbacks to get sacked like fifty some 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.520 hot times last year. They have given up only eighteen 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.680 sacks all season long in now seventeen games, zero sacks 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.960 they gave up. If they can keep Andrew Luck clean, 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.640 there's no reason he can't pick him pop the same 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.240 way Mahomes can. And there's also no way the Colts 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.240 can't run the ball against the team that gives up 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.119 over five yards per rush. The Indianapolis Colts are live, 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.240 my friends. They are five point underballs right now. If 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.080 it gets up to six, you need to run to 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.680 the window that against Mahomes and the Chiefs, who have 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.560 gone three and three in their last six since green 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.919 Hunt has gone, and take those Indianapolis Colts. I'll tell 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.359 you what I think about takeaways from the rest of 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.399 the wild card games and some of those coach openings 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:42.040 when we come back.

I see a 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.000 lot of you guys in the chat room. Gee falls No, 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.720 I would not trade the first round pick for Antonio Brown. 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.399 Here's the thing. Antonio Brown is not the cherry on 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.680 top for the New York Jets. The Jets are still 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.720 a couple of years away. They need to build the 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.560 right way. I said the same thing when all these 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.480 people are talking about Leavy on Bell to the Jets. 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.080 Also know if they were a team that was one 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.480 year away or one piece away, then I would think 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.199 that's great. But I'm not gonna spend the capital the 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.479 draft picks, the signing money to to lock it up 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.560 to get a Levy On Bellow, to get an Antonio Brown. Okay, um, 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.920 when you know he's gonna help me become go from 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.359 a five win to a six win team. If I 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.840 was a different kind of team that was on the precipice, 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.239 then I would seriously consider it. Okay, if I were 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.119 the San Francisco forty Niners, if I were the Cleveland Browns, 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.280 you know, stuff like that, then I would kind of 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.160 think about it. But I think the Jets are too 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.560 far away to go out and try and get that 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.320 one home run thing that's gonna change it. I want 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:26.120 the Jets to lay low, trade down draft lineman, and 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.399 you know, build it so that when Donald's is in 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.719 year three four and Tom Brady is walking away from 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.400 the game, that's when the Jets would then be primed 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.960 to put that cherry on top and then contend. People 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.920 are asking me about the Antonio Brown situation. I don't 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.239 think he's gonna go anywhere. I think there's a lot 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.800 of talk, a lot of smoke. But I saw a 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.760 report that the Steelers would it's gonna take a like 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.760 a twenty million dollar cap hit if they to trade him. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.720 I think this is just you know, crying over spilt milk. 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.399
