1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Welcome into the tailgate. I'm Chris Welsh. I've got Andrew 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Erickson and Derek Brown with me. As we are going 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: to be looking at twenty twenty six, last twenty twenty 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: seven dark horses for Super Bowl contenders in the NFL. 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about that here a little bit. 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna be using some odds with betting pros and 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: we're going to be seeing, Yes, all the favorites are awesome. 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: We love the favorites. We don't want to bet the 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: rams and stuff, but are any of these dark horse 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: candidates really viable? And that'll be the discussion. Plus, there 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: is a bunch a bunch of NFL news going around, 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: because boys, the preseason is around the corner. I can 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: I can smell the cut grass, I can smell I 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you can smell the helmets smashing, but I 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: can kind of smell it. And it brought up something 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: very important to me. As the Hall of Fame game 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: is roughly like a week away, we've got week one 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: coming around. I instantly went to thinking about the preseason goats. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about like the goats of the 20 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: like NFL or anything like that I'm talking about the 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: dudes that come out of absolutely nowhere, like hard knocks 22 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: or something will like prop up a player, and you'll 23 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: see these guys with these incredible stats and then poof 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: off off They're gone. We never hear from them again. 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: And you know, the first person that came to my 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: mind was Thomas Clayton running forty nine er. He was 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: a forty nine er. I think he was a cardinal. 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: He's like a totally random but I was thinking Thomas 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Clayton went ballistic. And then I had another in vision 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: of Zach Zenner, who led the entire NFL in three 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: D rushing yards one hundred and eighty three. And he 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: also this is a fun stat I found he had 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: ten first downs in the preseason, which led everybody. This 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: is in twenty fifteen. And then I had the other 35 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: one from a name perspective, Sincere McCormick was just a 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Again, another like forty nine er 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: that was floating out there. You just get these guys, 38 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: and that's what we're about to get Ericson. We're about 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: to get a player that will never exist again except 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: in this little, little tiny part of our brain that's 41 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna come up in like six years when you're sitting 42 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: around with your buddies and you're just being like, I remember, 43 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: give me a couple of your member berries from the preseason, 44 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: because I know you got to have some good ones. 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: Well, if you're a Patriots fan, you definitely remember this guy, 46 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: Zach Suttfeld, a tight end that had a monster preseason 47 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: performance that people were convinced, oh, Gronk coming off this injury. 48 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: Gronk, who we don't need Gronk. We got the next 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: Gronk here, and Zach. 50 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: Suttfeld's a good one did not amount to anything whatsoever. 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: I think that he actually ended his career on the Jets. 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: So again, whether that was four or after he was 53 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: a Jet remains to be seen. I'm here Abdula. He 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: was another player where during his rookie year, I think 55 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: I remember it. 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: I remember the long run. 57 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: Everyone remembers where they were when a Miredula ripped off 58 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: that long preseason run in whatever year it was his 59 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: rookie season. I remember at the time, I was working 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: in retail at Dick's Sporting Goods and I'm just laying 61 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: out there. I'm restocking the shelves It's Friday, Saturday night. 62 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: The preseason games aren't in the TV, so clearly I'm 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: not doing any work. I'm just watching him like, man, 64 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna draft this a miredula guy. And I had 65 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: the same thought as basically everybody else watching that game. 66 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: And Abdula is still kicking around the NFL. I think 67 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: that he's on the Colts. 68 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: What team is here? 69 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: Sure? I don't know. 70 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 4: No, I think he's actually on the Jaguars. 71 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Jaguars JA, He's in the AFC South. So we narrowed 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: it down by the chicken. 73 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: We'll play chicken, like, what team is he? Quite on? 74 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: Will raise you your Jaguars, the. 75 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: NFL, but obviously the Jags, but has not amounted to 76 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: what that preseason run. I need to look that up 77 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: actually after the show and just like relive the hype 78 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: of that preseason run. 79 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: Fun fact, I used to work for sports Authority back 80 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: in the day, so that's like my then. Oh we 81 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: were totally rivals, but low key. One of the greatest 82 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: things about working at like a sports like place like 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: that is the athletes that came in. I remember my 84 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: my fondest member, I had a couple of them baseball player, 85 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: Jason Schmidt came in and I talked with him a 86 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: couple of those. Levon Hernandez was a pitcher, came in 87 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: and bought out like ten thousand dollars worth of stuff 88 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: and sign things for us. But the greatest one was, 89 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: and this will be relevant to this show. We're about 90 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: twenty minutes from closing. A jeep rolls up to the front, 91 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: doesn't park, jumps out the car comes in to Jared Allen. 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: Jared Allen of the Vikings at the time, comes in 93 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: and he needs I don't know what he needed to do. 94 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: Whatever you want, take it whatever, whatever you need to get. 95 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: Brother Whack can help you with. And he came in 96 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: and he was it looked like he just got done 97 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: hunting or something. And this is out Arizona, so low key. 98 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: The cool thing about working at those that's my member 99 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: Barry is Jared Allen there, But Debro, I absolutely know 100 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna give us a banger member Barry from the preseason. 101 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: Dude, I'm gonna go on the wayback machine for my 102 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 4: first guy. Does everybody remember where they were in twenty 103 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 4: fifteen and watching Jeff Channis all is the Jeff Janis 104 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 4: high baby like dude, Like a guy that had like 105 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: seventy two receiving yards, had one hundred and forty nine 106 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 4: receiving yards in the preseason, was just crushing it for 107 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 4: all the preseason. 108 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: Uh. 109 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 4: I mean now, now it's kind of a thing. In 110 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, preseason DFS and betting was the thing. So 111 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 4: I have my own list of heroes of the last 112 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 4: few years. But a guy I definitely had the shout 113 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 4: out with all of this, dude as well as Fton 114 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: Hism Oh excuse me, Fton Chisholm, who decided that to 115 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 4: be anything last year, and I remember all the hype. 116 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: Only one year did he do anything. 117 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: I remember all of the new. 118 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: England Patriots slot wide receiver stuff and all the throwbacks 119 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 4: to Edelman and Welker.

It just popped 133 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: in my mind. 134 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: Remember the meter or like the insane boost we saw 135 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: from Marquez Callaway after he had mon and his a 136 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: DP was it was skyrocketing. 137 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: This is like absolutely insane and then he just obviously 138 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: of course what team was he on him like that? 139 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 4: Oh he was on the side that was the year 140 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 4: Saints value guys.

If you can come with a banger member, 155 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: Barry of a preseason player that just balled out and 156 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: then just vanished, we want to know about it. We 157 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: want to highlight it right here on the tailgate. All right, 158 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: let's get into the news and notes, because boys, there 159 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: are news and notes, because not only is the preseason 160 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: right around the corner, camps are opening up, which is 161 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: going to provide tons of great information, but it is 162 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: also going to provide unfortunately, usually camp is going to 163 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: give us more negatives than it is positives. Outside of 164 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: all those guys running this great great it's the injuries 165 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: and we have a devastating one. Especially for me as 166 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: a forty nine er fan it's running up to potentially 167 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: be that and for Debro as someone that is hyped 168 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: up on this player. But it is being reported that 169 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers wide receiver Ricky Pisol is dealing with 170 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: knee swelling and the team has concerns. They are saying 171 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: that all options are on the table, but the belief 172 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: is that it is stemming from the PCL injury he 173 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: previously dealt with. There's a lot of Twitter doctors out 174 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: there that are calling for injury Deebo, why don't you 175 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: start You've been a big Ricky piro Saw guy. I 176 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: think this is devastating, especially if they're openly talking about 177 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: the concerns. There's a couple other pieces that are floating 178 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: out here. Christian Kirk also got a little bit banged up, 179 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: and there has been so much hype over the last 180 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: week or two about Deshaun Stribling that now he vaults 181 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: himself into the potential two spot. It's a little bit 182 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: more of a fantasy a goal. But there's so much 183 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: in this little tiny bucket here. What's your level of 184 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: concern hearing this with Ricky pier Saw and do you 185 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: think Stribbling is going to be one of the biggest beneficiaries. 186 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: Due this absolutely freaking sucks. Pearsall just cannot stay healthy, man. 187 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 4: And it's kind of like with the PCL stuff. It's like, dude, 188 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: like you're working out in the off season. You can't 189 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 4: tell me that, like this is the first time you're 190 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 4: like heavily working out running routes and your knee just 191 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 4: like all of a sudden swelled up. And he didn't 192 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 4: do this at any point in the offseason, so it's 193 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 4: kind of like I don't understand, and it's like, get 194 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 4: these things addressed, so hopefully you can come back in 195 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 4: and be fully healthy finally, and I mean it's Banker 196 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 4: break time for Ricky pearsall. It's like, that's all we 197 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: saw the forty nine ers go out and drafts dribbling 198 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 4: like regardless of like the rest of the are aging 199 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 4: and now quickly getting old roster. This this really sucks, man, 200 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 4: because I was hoping he was gonna have his breakout 201 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: monster year because if you look at every Pro Route metric, 202 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 4: he was awesome last year. I'm gonna drop him in 203 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 4: the rankings. I'm gonna bump up Stribbling massively. Ericson. I 204 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: know we were talking about this, but before we kind 205 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 4: of turn the cameras and the mics on here, I 206 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: know Stribbling is gonna get a lot of steam and 207 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 4: a lot of people are gonna be very excited for him. 208 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: I don't think that it's going to I think it's 209 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 4: gonna have a hard cap. Basically, if you looked at 210 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 4: that from a fantasy angle, but like the Kirk injury 211 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 4: as well, Plus Kittle is still not one hundred percent 212 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 4: to be looking at to be playing like in Week one, 213 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 4: So what we get from him early in the season 214 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: returns This is a whole lot of mess, and I 215 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 4: think it kind of leads me back to just more 216 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 4: Mike Evans right now as far as like him being 217 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 4: the clear one in so many different ways for the 218 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: passing attack assuming he stays healthy. 219 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: Said, yeah, it's the substation doesn't get him or something. 220 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: But it's funny you say that because I just I 221 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: just put out a short we do on Fantasy pros 222 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: on the Fantasy pro side, and I had marked that. 223 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: I still think, even before knowing any of this, Mike 224 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: Evans is an undervalued wide receiver. He's like wide receivers 225 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: twenty five off of that board and he's just criminally underrated. 226 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: This more speaks to it. Ericson My question though, is 227 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: do you think this is going to be really damning 228 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: to Ricky Pearsall? Obviously there's things you don't know, but 229 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: if you had to dig down into your gut, do 230 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: you think this is going to be something that is 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: going to take pearsaf from us, and it is going 232 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: to vault someone else in that offense. Obviously Ricky Piersol's there, 233 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: but someone like a stribbling or I don't know, maybe 234 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: you have another take on it, but do you think 235 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: this is going to be a huge, huge blow to 236 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: Ricky Piarsol here in this news. 237 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: When I saw the news come across the timeline, I 238 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: immediately retweeted it, reposted it with the grant that the 239 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: auto gift of yeah, here we go again with Rickey Pearsall. 240 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: So so very very sad, especially with my wide receiver 241 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: breakout article coming out today. 242 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: Luckily they didn't pears highlighted in it. Yeah he was highlighted. 243 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: He was year three guys. 244 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: Luckily Kelly Kirby was ahead of the curve de put 245 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 2: Washington on the cover of it, not Ricky Pearsall. So 246 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: we did get saved there, We did save some face. 247 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: And again there's a lot of other options. If anything, 248 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: it just narrows the pool down of year three wide 249 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: receivers are going to take the leap. It's probably not 250 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: gonna be Rickey Piersoll if his injury is as bad 251 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: as this news suggests. And this is what happens sometimes 252 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: when you have players that suffer injuries and then they 253 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: it doesn't go away all entirely and they overcor over 254 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: compensate in certain areas. So the fact that he's been 255 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: dealing with his PCL injury, it affects the other parts 256 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: of his leg and his knee, So that is obviously like. 257 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: The what do you think this does though for Jean 258 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: Stribbling though, because I think that's like the immediate thing 259 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: you guys had. We're having a fantasy discussion for the show, 260 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: But like, what do you think that ultimately does in 261 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: this offense Kirk? We don't know Kirk is going to 262 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: miss like significant time, but like that's obviously something to 263 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: watch for. He's gotten Shribling has gotten rave reviews for 264 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: some of the footwork and obviously the separation and just 265 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: you know overall ball skials. Brock Party has talked really 266 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: positively about him. Do you think this is going to 267 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: lead to an uptick for Stribling, opportunity for him to 268 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: really take or is this going to be just a 269 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: little bit more over hyped based on what the forty 270 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: nine ers do. They could easily by the way, see 271 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: all these injuries and go all right, bet we're just 272 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: going to run more, and that's what they do, and 273 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: they just lean more on Christian McCaffrey in the early weeks. 274 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: Do you think Stribling is going to be a true 275 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: beneficiary to a Ricky pirocell injury. 276 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so because it just opens up more 277 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: opportunities for him to see the field sooner rather than later. 278 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: They drafted him thirty third overall, so clearly they are 279 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: high on his talent, and they made sure everyone knew 280 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: that after the fact, saying that no, well, we weren't 281 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: the only one that had Stribling ranked this high. We 282 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: all had him ranked this high. Again, remains to be 283 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: seen how well he translates to the NFL. I thought 284 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: that he was interesting as a prospect when I thought 285 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: that he was going to be project as a more 286 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: of a round three, round four type of player. So 287 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: I do think that there is some talent to his game. 288 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: It's just a matter of the price. In Dynasty, I 289 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 2: felt like it was overvalued and redraft will see where 290 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: it goes. But right now he's still very very cheap 291 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: across the board. I think there's still enough skeptics about him, 292 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: and I have a little skeptical two of what his 293 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: true ceiling can be, especially as a rookie in an 294 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 2: offense that isn't always you know, just pick it up, 295 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: you know. O Shanahan has had a lot of rookies 296 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: go through the ringer over the years where they have 297 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: not delivered when called upon, especially early in the season. 298 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: So again, I think it's more Mike Evans just catching 299 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: a boatload of touchdowns in this offense. And maybe another 300 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 2: player that could see an expanded role is Jake Tungus. Right, 301 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: we're all talking about every team wants to run twelve personnel. 302 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: We don't know when Kittle's going to be available, if 303 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 2: he's going to miss the start of the season. I 304 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: believe he started. He's on the pup right, so there's 305 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: still a chance that he's not available to start the year. 306 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: So maybe Jake Tungus is actually a player that everyone's 307 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: looking at the next receiver when I mean you look 308 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: at the actual target pecking order. Oh, we really like 309 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: what we saw from this tight end last year. I 310 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: believe that they gave an extension or are they re 311 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: signed him d because if he's a restricted free agent, 312 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: so they did pay him a little bit after performing 313 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: well in Kittle's place last year, So I think that's 314 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: something interesting. Look gat too, and also Jordan James fracture 315 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: rib So we're how many days into forty nine ers 316 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: training camp and we're already down like three guys. 317 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: I mean, substation's getting just absolutely no rest here. Nick 318 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: storyline continues. 319 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 4: To the point of all of this too and going 320 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 4: back to your original kind of setup of this, Welsh, 321 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 4: I think this is massive for stribbling because the biggest 322 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: thing for rookies is we don't need him buried on 323 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: the depth chart, not getting any time with the ones 324 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 4: and running with the twos and threes. Kirk hurt pearsall 325 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: dinged up and he's obviously not going to be practicing 326 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 4: for the next few days. We'll see when he comes 327 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 4: back and what that looks like. But stribbling in two 328 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 4: wide receiver sets right now, like, that's massive for him 329 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 4: in the learning curve of being a rookie and getting 330 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 4: that type of work right now at the very beginning 331 00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 4: of camp. 332 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a very interesting video that was out there too, 333 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: or des Bryant for whatever you think was like breaking apart. Yeah, 334 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: but as a wide receiver though, he was breaking apart 335 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: stribbling a video about his separation. I just thought it 336 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: was interesting seeing anybody start like really breaking him down 337 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: and taking it upon themselves to put that out there 338 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: and talking about like, well, he's got to get his 339 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: front foot in there. So what I'm what I'm getting 340 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: at there is is like I hope they rarely are 341 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: having a hyper focus on him and being able to 342 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: make him make those transitional changes so when he has put, 343 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: if he has put into two wide receiver sets, he 344 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: can succeed because unfortunately he does look like Ricky Piersol 345 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: might be down for some Hopefully we'll look for some 346 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: good news that's floating out there. 347 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 4: Personally, I'll take any des Bryant analysis for a wide 348 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 4: receiver that can never separate that well in his career. 349 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: He's more just a catch point bully with a grain. 350 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: Of salt, all right, You said that, not me. There 351 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: was another one, another injury a little bit lower though, 352 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: and I'm going to go back to ud Bro because 353 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: I know you were on this one. We won't spend 354 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: as much time as Ricky piersoll wan, but the Panthers 355 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: last third round pick or may have lost for an 356 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: extended period of time in this practice. Chris Brasel suffered 357 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: some apparent knee injury in practice, but the thing that 358 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: we're focusing on is he was carted out. That's not good, 359 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: all right, we have like the slacks and stuff behind 360 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: the scenes. Very funny watching YouTube go back and forth. 361 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: I think Erickson was like, all right, you're gonna have 362 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: to rank Savi, you're Legett now, But just your quick 363 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Brasel injury depro and what does this 364 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: mean for the Panthers offense? 365 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 4: It freaking sucks, man. I mean, like when they're trying 366 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 4: to put more weapons around Bryce hung and again going 367 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: back to like just the overall complexion of this offense, 368 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: it doesn't help them to want to throw the ball 369 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: more if Brasel is out, if he's like, let's just 370 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 4: play the worst case scenario. If this is a torn 371 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 4: acl and he's out, then we're talking about a passing offense. 372 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 4: That goes back to and Erics and I were joking. 373 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 4: Erickson was like, well, just when you think you don't 374 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 4: have to rank xavierly Get for Fantasy, and I'm like, no, 375 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 4: that's fine. You still don't have to just bump Jaien 376 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 4: Cocher up the ranks. But this isn't good for Bryce 377 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 4: Shung and obviously this offense, like less weapons is not 378 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 4: a good thing. I think you're looking at a team 379 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 4: that has told us very loudly they want to run 380 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 4: the freaking ball and run it all the time. 381 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 3: That doesn't help. 382 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 4: Like as far as if you're looking at passing volume 383 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 4: for the Carolina Panthers and the upcoming season of brasl 384 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 4: is out for the whole season, we'll see what you 385 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 4: know where the news takes us. But also to that point, 386 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 4: this becomes a more consolidated passing attack. So while we all, 387 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 4: like I think everybody collectively is looking for take another 388 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 4: jump in year two as the clear leader, this is 389 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 4: also another like as a feather in the cap for 390 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 4: Jalen Coker Man, he's the clear number two target in 391 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 4: the passing attack, and he's gonna get more volume than 392 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 4: maybe like would have chipped off and gone to Chris 393 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 4: Brasel at certain aspects, Coker is going to see a 394 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 4: few more targets weekly, assuming that this is like a 395 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: full season injury and what have you for Chris Brassel. 396 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 4: But again we're kind of like discussing this and dealing 397 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: with this in the fallout of this kind of in 398 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 4: the dark, because all we have is that, you know, 399 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: knee injury. It seemed like, at least from the report, 400 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 4: I saw a non contact and he was unable to 401 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 4: bear weight and he was cartered inside. So I think 402 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: we're all collectively kind of assuming the worst and hoping. 403 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: Actually, do you think this is another one? This is 404 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: going to be one of those season long blows and 405 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: what does that do for the Panthers offense in your mind? 406 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: So, the latest I got from Joseph Pearson is that 407 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: he's expected to miss eight weeks after suffering an LCL 408 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: tear in. 409 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: His home news news So that's the. 410 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: Last I got. So that was around fifteen minutes ago. 411 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: So that kind of tells you he's going to be 412 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 2: on the IR for the Panthers and then IR designated 413 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 2: to return at some point. 414 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 3: I think that. 415 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: It it lessens the excitement about the Panthers passing attack 416 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 2: because Brazil looked like a player that Okay, he is 417 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: going to be this vertical field stretcher and really opened 418 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: things up for Tetaroa and for Jail and Cocher to 419 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: really eat inside. Now you're taking that player out of 420 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: the equation. Does Leget go back into that role? And 421 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: clearly they were not pleased with what Laguitt did last 422 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: year because I went out and drafted Brazzle to kind 423 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 2: of a fill into that potential role. So again losing death, 424 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: losing a key contributor that they were excited for. You 425 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: don't love that, especially with a player like Brasel. But 426 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: if he does return at some point, maybe he gives 427 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 2: this Panther's passing game a boost in the second half 428 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 2: the season, especially if he has a limited route here, 429 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: which is like no man life, You're just running go 430 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: routes and so maybe less cutting. Maybe he can return 431 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: from this injury. But obviously a devastating blow for a 432 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: rookie again, you know, first time player. 433 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Camp, Monsters, we got a couple of things I'm 434 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: going to burn through, but one more I really want 435 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: to touch on. Cardinals Camp has been pretty fascinating out 436 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: here locally, as I was actually thinking about going to it, 437 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: but then after I made my zero to seventeen comments, 438 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: I was like, maybe I shouldn't get any tickets to 439 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: go over. 440 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: To help have people tell you why you're wrong. Look 441 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: at the sky at you. Finally, actually, I. 442 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: Thought, here's the bit I thought about going to do 443 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: is taking a mic walking around because they do it 444 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: in stadium because it's like one hundred and fifty two 445 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: degrees out here in Arizona, so you can't do it outside. 446 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: They do it in the stadium. I was going to 447 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: walk around and be like, how many you think the 448 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: Cardinals are gonna have this year? And then as soon 449 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: as they say anything but zero, I'll be like wrong 450 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: and then just walk away. But I decided not to 451 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: do that. But the fascinating side of it was twofold 452 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love the comments right out of the first camp. 453 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: First off, they had Algier running with the ones. I 454 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: think one of the first days of Love Love is 455 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: like moved around with it, but he was running with 456 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: the threes. But and then to the comments that he's 457 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: quote definitely a rookie. I'll also is a side throw 458 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: out that there's some really negative stuff about Marvin Harrison 459 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: as well. He's dropping passes. Confidence looks really bad. You know, 460 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: this is the type of stuff we're getting. But that 461 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: camp specifically has a lot of like fantasy owners and 462 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: just like people in general, just kind of tripping out 463 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: about like what do we do here? Ericson how much 464 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: in the world of coach speak are you buying the 465 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love is really a rookie and that Tyler or 466 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: that Algier takes away from George from Love this year. 467 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: If the Daniel Hackett has his hands in any type 468 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 2: of deployment of these players, then I have reasons to 469 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: be concern because he is shown at time and time 470 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: again that he's not gonna set up things the right way. 471 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 2: So I get that he's not the play caller. He's 472 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: still just offensive Cordier. We're still gonna see the flour. 473 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 3: Call the plays. 474 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: But look, when I'm on drafting fantasy teams and I 475 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: see in Arizona car and I'll see somebody else, I 476 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: always seem to gravitate towards the other player on a 477 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: team that I just again, we talked about it last week. 478 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: This team could go open seventeen. How many good fantasy 479 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: players can come from a team that goes own seventeen? 480 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: Will will go owen, we will go seventeen. 481 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: You guys are like, so this is right. 482 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the perfect rundown, especially when you 483 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: forecast in twenty twenty seven. Okay, we're gonna get finally 484 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: get tomorrow to break out because he's gonna have Archie 485 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: Manning throwing him the football. In twenty twenty seven, you 486 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 2: get the Archie the Manning combination. Harrison, you know, you 487 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: couldn't write it any better. And how do you get there? 488 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: You go open seventeen. So I think for me, it's 489 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: like Jeremiah Love from a season long fantasy perspective, I 490 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 2: do think that there's a chance he still fishes the 491 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: top twelve running back traditionally guys that have gone as 492 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: high as he's in the draft. 493 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 3: But I think it's. 494 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 2: Gonna be backloaded, and I think that's gonna be really 495 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 2: annoying to start the year and they're gonna be like, yeah, 496 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: I want to use alas year here, you know, before 497 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: James Connor, whether he gets cut or whatnot. 498 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it's gonna be annoying, and. 499 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: You're gonna want to have someone like Jeremiah Love in 500 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: the second half of the season when they really are 501 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: leaning more into their rookies. Again, Carson Beck might also 502 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: be starting, so you have to keep that in mind. 503 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 2: But Jeremih Love is as good as advertised. I think 504 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: he'll deliver in the second half. So for me, I 505 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: see him kind of falling in fantasy drafts, but I 506 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: view him more as a maybe I'll trade for him, 507 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: you know, as the season journals, as we start to 508 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: see this Cardinals offense actually live, that's kind of the 509 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 2: angle I'm looking at it. But yeah, I'm not optimistic 510 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: about trying to go out of my way to draft 511 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals players. 512 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: I mean, a good thing is when they go you know, 513 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: h and four, there's gonna be no reason to put 514 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: out guys like James Connor and elst Year and just 515 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: have Jeremiah Love, like learn when you're just one of 516 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: the worst teams. But Deebro, do you think that the 517 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love comment is overblown or do you think we 518 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: really might see him be put in more of a 519 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: muted role even into the first half of the season 520 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: based on the comments. 521 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 4: The Thaniel Hacket is dumb, dumb, dumb, and he's dumb enough. 522 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: To do this. 523 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 4: This is go draft a running back in the top 524 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 4: five of the NFL draft. He's awesome, He's a legendary talent. 525 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 4: He's gonna be elite and stuff. 526 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 3: Like that, Oh, but. 527 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 4: He's a rookie, and we're not gonna put Tyler Rozier 528 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 4: was one of the most inefficient freaking running backs in 529 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 4: the entire damn NFL last year. If you look at 530 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: it on a per touch basis, he was a touchdown vulture. 531 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: That's it. 532 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 4: What are we doing here? You're a team that goes 533 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 4: out and you draft a running back and you give 534 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 4: him like the the guaranteed money of that contract, and 535 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 4: then you're gonna like double down and say like, oh, well, 536 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 4: but he's a rookie and Tyler I was. 537 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: Here, then why didn't you draft him? 538 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: They're so freaking stupid that they. 539 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 3: That team. 540 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: Stay, bro, We've got we've got a three year plan. 541 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: You remember we were at the Canton Hall of Fame 542 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 2: and I asked, I was like Arizona Cardinals jerseys. 543 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 3: But that was one thing. The other thing is. 544 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: Too, is they have every team except Pat Telman shot, Oh, 545 00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: you're going to the record. 546 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 547 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, the records of like all these teams and the 548 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals or Cardinals in general, like go back like 549 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 2: the farthest right to like the nineteen fifties, even before then. 550 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 2: And I'm looking I'm trying to figure out because it 551 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: will like highlight these spectacular seasons, and I'm like, there 552 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: are none for the Cardinals. You just have to keep 553 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: going back and back and back, and these seasons just 554 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 2: don't exist and I'll never get It's just like this 555 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: is what happens, and you have bad ownership. Bad ownership 556 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: trickles down to the HighRes that you make in terms 557 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 2: of your coaching, and that reflects on the players and 558 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: the drafts, and yeah, just bad teams stay bad. 559 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: I think of the meme in my head. It's like 560 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: when you guys are talking about this with love, like 561 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: what is the idea between doing this? It's like from 562 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: thinky is it? Big Daddy'd be like, so what's the plan. 563 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: You've got a five year plan? What is it? Don't 564 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: die like that's the plan. They're like, well, we got love, 565 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: but we'll use them like next year and that's what 566 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: we'll go for it. 567 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 4: Dude, I'm old enough to remember when Nathaniel Hackett rolled 568 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 4: out Melvin Gordon over Javonte Williams in a feature role 569 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 4: for most of a season and stuff. So for everybody 570 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 4: that says that this can't happen, it won't happen. Be 571 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 4: kind of rewind. Nathaniel Hackett has done this, and he's 572 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 4: done dumbers stuff than this, So don't never say never win. 573 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: It's hack attack man. And by the way, Marvin's mentals 574 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: are bad. Now just wait till they're oh and seven. 575 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: Wait till. 576 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 4: Across the freaking middle field. Don't worry, We're gonna get 577 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 4: some Brian Thomas Junior yips from him over the middle 578 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 4: of the field when laying him out. 579 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: Are we are we pouring out another Year three wide 580 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: receiver break? Just are we just bearing all these players, 581 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: all the ship, Pierce all done, Harrison done. 582 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 3: No Year three breakouts to be found except Jaalen Coker. 583 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: That's the only one. That's the only one. 584 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: The key winner so far through our twenty five minutes 585 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 2: of recordings. 586 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: Yep, it's such a great it's such a great nickname 587 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: of that group. Just a couple other news and notes 588 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: just to blast past you. Micah Parsons is going to 589 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: be on the pup. That's a week six return, we'll see. 590 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's a little clerical in the preseason, 591 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: but he's both put on the pup. Denzel Ward and 592 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter both got some big contracts floating out there. Also, 593 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams signed a deal, which is interesting. Carter got 594 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: the four year extension one hundred and fifty two million 595 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: over on the Bucks. Baker Mayfield is expected to play 596 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: without a deal in twenty twenty six. That's been kind 597 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: of dominating camp news, while also Videvea has requested a trade. 598 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: So that's kind of trippy and the one that I 599 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: really like because I did this a couple of weeks 600 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: ago before it was popular to talk positively. But Tank 601 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: Dell was cleared in Texans camp. I tell you you 602 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: try not to buy ind all the videos you see 603 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: out there. But I saw him cutting and turning. I 604 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: thought he looked good. There's no I mean, he's best 605 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: friends with CJ. Stroud. There's just no way he was 606 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: going to fade out into the world. So even though 607 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: I'm a Colt sky Over a Texans guy and like Debro, 608 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: tank Dell being cleared, I think is huge news. And 609 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: I believe I saw Noel was hurt as well. 610 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna tell you too, 611 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 4: Welsh to button up with that. Jalenol is dealing with 612 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 4: a finger injury. They said it could keep him out 613 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 4: a few weeks, so I'm guessing he's got a fractured finger. 614 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: Really good news for Tank Dell so just Erickson. Anything 615 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: in that you want to make is any one thing 616 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: that stands out between the Michael Parsons pup, the Baker 617 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: Mayfield playing without a deal, Tank Dell, any of those 618 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: little news and notes stand out to you. 619 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 2: The Mayfield one stands out to me because you always 620 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: want to bet on Mayfield when he has a fire 621 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 2: under his bat, Like, that's exactly who you want to 622 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 2: bet on. Whenever he's an underdog, whenever he's being counted out, 623 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: this is when he always plays his best ball. So 624 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: be higher on Baker Mayfield in any fantasy betting, et cetera. Again, 625 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: it doesn't necessarily translate to wins for the Buccaneers, because 626 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: I do think they have some issues and holes. But 627 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: I think for Baker Mayfield specifically, he's someone that I 628 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: think I'm gonna actually move up in my fantasy rankings because, yeah, 629 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: I want him to be playing without a contract because 630 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 2: he's gonna make everybody shove it because that's exactly what 631 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: he does. So Mayfield for me and then the Tank 632 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: Dell thing, I'll just say one about him being best 633 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: friends with c J. 634 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 3: Stroud. Look, c J. 635 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: Stroud's rookie year coincided with Tank Dell's really strong rookie 636 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: year as well, so I don't think that those things 637 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: are completely different. I don't know if we'll ever see 638 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 2: the same Tank Dell that we did see early in 639 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: his career, but the fact that Stroud will have him, 640 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: I think does matter a lot significantly. 641 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: So do you guys see. 642 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: That videos Stroud walking up to camp where it oh dude, 643 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: it was going into computer science camp, Like that was 644 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: a rough video to watch that did not look like 645 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: he looked like everybody in the millennial generation walking into 646 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: junior high school. Like I mean, just just juxtapose every 647 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: junior because. 648 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 3: He's all bob baby. 649 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: He's not reading his press cupies anymore, is not doing 650 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 2: the tour with Michael Parsons. He is locked and loaded 651 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: because he's like, I gotta get paid. 652 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 4: That'll do when you suck for a few seasons and 653 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: you stop, you know, we'll do that. 654 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: All right.

Buffalo is around ten to one, Baltimore's 681 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: twelve to one. You've got Seattle at twelve to one, 682 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: sixteen to one for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Chargers 683 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: around seventeen and a half, and the Eagles around eighteen. 684 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: So that's like your top seven in the market. That's 685 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: not what we're here to talk about. We're here to 686 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: talk about where are the big odds and the likelihood 687 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: of some of these quote dark horse teams that are 688 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: not in that top seven or eight. What is a 689 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: likelihood of a real Super Bowl opportunity. So I'm going 690 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: to present to you guys five teams that we've kind 691 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: of collectively, kind of worked through and agreed that these 692 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: are really good teams to hyper focus on, because duh, 693 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: by the way, you go down and be like, well, 694 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: there's Lona Cordnell's or you know, twelve billion to one, 695 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: It's like, that's not the reality here. The reality is 696 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: looking at teams that have viable opportunities to do this, 697 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: and we are going to start from the highest percentage 698 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: here and this is an eighteen to one Detroit Lyons team. 699 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: And Eric's I'm going to start with you because you 700 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: have talked about them before. We've talked a decent amount 701 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: about them. From a team at the bottom of a 702 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: division that's so much talent needing to break through, they 703 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: are a definite division winner, but buy or sell them 704 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: as a real super Bowl dark horse contender. 705 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 2: Buying the Detroit Lions as a super Bowl contender. They 706 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: have the easiest sale in the NFL next year twenty 707 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 2: twenty six. And when you just look at it from 708 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 2: a are they gonna be playing in pristine conditions or 709 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 2: is it going to be outdoored in windy They basically 710 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 2: don't ever play outside. So from weeks fifteen or five 711 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: through sixteen, they play two outside games. One of them 712 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 2: is in Miami in week nine, so we're gonna be 713 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: flowing with the sun. It's gonna be absolutely fantastic. And 714 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: the other day repeat that, wait, repeat that again. How 715 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: many out outdoor games from win to win? 716 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: From week five to week sixteen they play outside twice? 717 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: That's insane, that's insane. 718 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: It ready to pristine conditions for a very favorable schedule. 719 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: They should be playing with leads and the other game 720 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: that's outside is in Germany in Week ten and that's 721 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: an i'min Ros Saint Brown homecoming games. 722 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: So again I think it's my Patriots, which. 723 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 2: Sucks, but I think the Lions probably. 724 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 3: Gonna come away with a w. SO. 725 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: So, the Lions, again, they're benefiting from coming in last 726 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 2: place last year, and that's why it's really interesting because 727 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: this is what the market is expecting. Again, they're compared 728 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: to the other teams in the NFC North. Well, their 729 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: small favorites to win the NFC North despite coming in 730 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: the last place in the NFC North because the final 731 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: win loss record doesn't do a good job of really 732 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 2: projecting the lines moving forward, because they were one of 733 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 2: the most injured teams last year, specifically on the defensive 734 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: side of the football. The offensive line had a ton 735 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 2: of injuries in you know, losing Ben Johnson. I think 736 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: that bringing Drew Petzing is gonna be upgrade from the 737 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: offensive corner John Morton last year. You also have Dan 738 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 2: Campbell as a potential play calling option if things don't 739 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: necessarily hit the ground running under a new oc SO. 740 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 2: I think that the Lions are really set up here 741 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 2: to go from worse to first. We see this every 742 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: single year with teams in divisions, and by just the 743 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 2: way that the weird scheduling happened last year that they 744 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: came in last. I think the Lions are the should 745 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: be the favorites to win the NFC North again like 746 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 2: they did two years ago when they were running the table. 747 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 2: I think is either the number one or number two 748 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: seed in the NFC. They obviously got upset by the Commander. 749 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: So I like the Lions a lotalked about them on 750 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: the Betting Pro Show. I believe of taking the over 751 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 2: I think they're a long shot to win the NFC overall, 752 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: be the number one seed in the NFC. So yeah, 753 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: I'm buying the Detroit Lions all right. 754 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: D bro Buyer cell eighteen to one. Detroit Lions is 755 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: an actual dark horse Super Bowl contender. 756 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 4: All in on it, love it, love this call. I 757 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 4: love it from so many different parts of pieces, like 758 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 4: everything that Ericson laid out as well as right now 759 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 4: per Sharp Football, they have the easiest schedule right now 760 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 4: for twenty twenty six based off of projected wind totals 761 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 4: and just a ton of this stuff is lining up. 762 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 4: The other thing about it and Ericson you love to 763 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 4: point this out all the time, man, So hat tip. 764 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 4: They have been so injury depleted over the last few years. 765 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 4: Eventually this team has to run right on injuries like 766 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 4: nobody has run worse with their defense just getting decimated 767 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 4: year after year after year. 768 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: Well, the. 769 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 4: Forty nine ers can make a case, but when the 770 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 4: entire Lions like defensive line like just disintegrated over previous years, 771 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: the forty inn have had it bad. But I can 772 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 4: also say like that the Lions have had it just 773 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 4: as bad, if not worse. 774 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: Man, So you're not wrong about that, all right? So yeah, okay, 775 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: so you're by you guys are both those are kind 776 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: of easy, Buyson. So let's move to number two. Then 777 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: in Debro, we're gonna start with you, so you can 778 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: kick this one off. This is around a twenty to 779 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: one Cincinnati Bengals team. Joe Burrow's health is obviously the 780 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: key point to this. They got the wide receiver corps back. 781 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: They're kind of running a lot of that back. So 782 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: if the division looks kind of weaker than it's been 783 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: in many years, if Joe Burrow stays healthy buy or 784 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: sell the Bengals as a legitimate dark horse candidate. 785 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 4: Buying it big time, buying it, Like I think if 786 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 4: you're what if you're making I honestly think like all 787 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 4: the five teams, like right now, I'm I'm just going 788 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 4: to tell everybody, go out right now and bet all 789 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 4: these five teams. If you just like toss one unit 790 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 4: bets to all these five teams, you hit one of them, 791 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 4: it's it's it's going to make your season. So I 792 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 4: bet on the Bengals. Man. There's so much good stuff, 793 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 4: you know, the team that happens to be second as 794 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 4: far as easy as schedules right behind the lines, Cincinnati Bengals, Baby, 795 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 4: I mean, so we want to talk about the schedule. 796 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 4: We're going to talk about running it back with the offense. 797 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 4: We know the offense is gonna be good. Their offensive 798 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 4: line is not gonna be a road grader like top 799 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 4: five unit, but they're going to be league average and 800 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 4: at least decent. The improvements they made on the defensive 801 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 4: side of the ball this offseason were massive. Boys like 802 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 4: signing Boy Mafe, trading for Dexter Lawrence, bringing in Jonathan Allen. 803 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 4: Whatever they get out of Miles Murphy and Shamar Stewart 804 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 4: should be counted as a win. Plus they drafted cash. 805 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 4: As how, their linebackers are still got awful. I'm not 806 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 4: gonna talk good about them, but the cornerback room they are. 807 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 4: They signed Brian Cook, they had Dax Hill returning. DJ 808 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 4: Turner is one of the best shut down man cover 809 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 4: corners shadow corners in the entire damn NFL, and he 810 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 4: doesn't ever get talked about that way. But if you 811 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 4: look at the numbers last year, it is a no 812 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 4: flies along with DJ Turner. 813 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: So yes, Bengals to the Bowl. 814 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 4: Baby, I'm in. 815 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: All right, Ericson, I'm actually gonna loosely ask you, are 816 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: you kind of a buy on all these teams we're 817 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: going to talk about, because we can take another angle 818 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: to it if you are as straight by where we 819 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: can order these and ranked these after the fact. But 820 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: I give that to you to say buy or sell 821 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: the Bengals as a legitimate dark horse candidate. 822 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: Also buying the Cincinnati Bengals, I think that you get 823 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: a healthy Joe Burrow and you have a team that 824 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: can beat any other team in the AFC. I think 825 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 2: that that's not going on a limb. We've seen what 826 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 2: this offense can do when he's operating at the peak 827 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 2: of his power. As a matter of him staying healthy. 828 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: The offensive line has had its issues in the past, 829 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 2: and I know part of it is also Burrow likes 830 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 2: to hold onto the ball. He's like, I rather sometimes 831 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 2: just take a sack whatever instead of just like throwing 832 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 2: it away. So that does sometimes treat situations where he 833 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 2: takes more hits. But this has been poured out on 834 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: multiple publications. On the Athletic they talked about how this 835 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: is the first time in Joe Burrow's career that all 836 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 2: five starters are coming back for the offensive line, so 837 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: you're getting some cohesiveness with a unit that can grow. 838 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 2: And I think that we saw a Brandon Thorn, the 839 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 2: offensive line expert over at ETR he really talks about 840 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 2: how the Georgia guys that they have have those are 841 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 2: where you see the upside case for the Bengals offensive 842 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: line to be much more improved. Omarius Mimms stud tackle 843 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: really really young, Dylan Fairchild very very young. So if 844 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: those guys take massive leaps, now maybe the offensive line 845 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 2: goes from okay, can be average, or maybe it actually 846 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 2: can be a top ten fringe unit that's actually powering 847 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 2: this team. They're running the ball more effectively, and then 848 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball. I think Dexter Lawrence, 849 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 2: it's just I think it's kind of being undersold how 850 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 2: good he can be if he's healthy and ready to go, 851 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 2: like the impact that he does at all three levels, 852 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 2: because he's then putting every other Bengals player in a 853 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: more favorable situation. I think that he helps a lot 854 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,959 Speaker 2: of these young defensive players that are on this roster. 855 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,959 Speaker 2: There's a lot of talent. The Bengals have been trying 856 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 2: to improve their defense right, but it just hasn't worked out. 857 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 2: I think there is under the radar talent there. Getting 858 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 2: Dexter Lawrence as the leader of that room on the 859 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 2: defensive side where he's motivated and ready to go. I 860 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 2: think you're going to see this defense plays significantly better 861 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 2: after they were historically bad. It wasn't just bad last year. 862 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 2: It was oh yeah, we give up thirty points per 863 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 2: game every single week bad, and we have no chance 864 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 2: of ever getting out when Jake Browning is gonna pick 865 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 2: six every time he gets the football. So I'm all 866 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: about the Bengals and I don't know if this is 867 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 2: a positive or negative, but the fact that Zach Taylor 868 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 2: is the only returning head coach again going back to 869 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: there is some cohesiveness with the Bengals. 870 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: I think it's a positive. But I'm willing to hear 871 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: the argument. 872 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 2: I no, no, And that's not the angle I'm trying 873 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,479 Speaker 2: to get at. I'm just saying, like cohesiveness. Right, every 874 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 2: other team is doing something new. They have a new 875 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 2: head coach, they have new this, they have knew that, 876 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 2: and sometimes that works out. But a lot of times 877 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 2: the new things just crash and burn, whereas hey, we 878 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 2: were just running back the hits. Look, if Zach Taylor 879 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 2: gets Joe Berr healthy, And to give credit to Zach Taylor, 880 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 2: he did pull the plug on Jake Browning really early 881 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: last year, got Flacco and got the offense back up 882 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 2: in Cocin. Now, I don't know if he deserves all 883 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 2: that credit, but it was way more than I expected him. 884 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 2: I thought that once Burrough went down, I thought the 885 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 2: Bengals team was total crewed, and I think it wasn't 886 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 2: a smart move for them to go and get Flacco. 887 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 2: So I will give Zach Taylor his player Flowers in 888 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 2: that capacity. But besides that, yes, I would agree, he's 889 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 2: been mostly underwhelming by the. 890 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: Way, uh deebro just shared this literally just more timeline. 891 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: Shamar Stewart was just carted off the fields on Wednesday. 892 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: So that's not the best thing then. 893 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 4: No, But at least the good thing for them is 894 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 4: they've added so much depth. They like he was a 895 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 4: wild card. They weren't counting on him to be like 896 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 4: an every down starter anyway, so at least you know, 897 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 4: it's a depth hit. 898 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: But Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna pair these two together 899 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: because I think they're close, and you guys have to 900 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: pick one that you want to buy on. It would 901 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: have been better if I would have done this with 902 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: the Bengals in this next team, but we're gonna go 903 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos dark horse number three at twenty 904 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: to one, so they're the same as the Bengals, and 905 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna pair that with the Cowboys, who are 906 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: twenty five to one. Again. Health plays a huge role 907 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: in for the Cowboys, clearly the Denver Broncos and what 908 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: bo Nicks did, and you know, I mean I should 909 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: also probably say health, but bringing in Jaln Waddle well 910 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: Ericson will start with you on this one. You've got 911 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: the Broncos and you've got the Cowboys. Twenty to one 912 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: for the Broncos, twenty five for the Cowboys. Which of 913 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: these two is the dark horse that you would buy? 914 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 2: I am going with the Cowboys. I mean, who rides 915 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: the do? I want to beat the horse over with 916 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 2: the one riding the horse. 917 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 3: I'm the rider. Baby. Let's go Dallas Cowboys. That's what 918 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 3: Jerry Jones joke in here somewhere. 919 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 2: Look, the Cowboys are traditionally the most hyped up offseason 920 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,959 Speaker 2: team every single year. And I'm probably just falling hook 921 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 2: line and sinker for this when you look at them 922 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 2: on paper, because they always build really strong rosters and 923 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 2: then just end up running into some type of issue. 924 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott gets hurt every other year. Whether that happens again, 925 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 2: then hey, so be it. It will let it beat me. 926 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 2: But similar to the Cincinnati Bengals, what if they have 927 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 2: an average defense and I think they've put the person 928 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 2: out they were doing it last year? Right, when you 929 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 2: trade Micah Parsons away before the season starts, Yeah, of 930 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 2: course your defense is gonna be terrible because there. 931 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 3: Was no off ramp plan. 932 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: It was okay, well, Dak get ready to throw or 933 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 2: post thirty per game, or else we're not gonna win 934 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 2: any of these contests. So I think that the defense 935 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 2: is gonna be much better set up. Getting Quinnon Williams back. 936 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 2: We saw him have an impact in the second half 937 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 2: of last year. Where Dallas's defense. I remember talking about 938 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 2: a lot of the betting shows where hey, this Dallas 939 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 2: defense is not as bad as it once was to 940 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 2: start the year. Getting Schevon Ravel back, a guy they 941 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 2: drafted two years ago. He was coming off an ACL 942 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 2: injury entering his second season. Now he's fully healthy and 943 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 2: ready to go. So I think that with the cornerback position, 944 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 2: they are seeing upgrades the secondary. They actually have formidable 945 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 2: safeties now that can actually protect the back end. So 946 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: they're just not giving up chunk play. After chunk played, 947 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 2: the Cowboys made the playoffs with three straight seasons when 948 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 2: they had a top ten scoring defense and they averaged 949 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: twelve wins per season. Last year, they led the NFL 950 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 2: and pressure rate, but they finished second worst interceptions and 951 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 2: below average in total sacks. So I think there's a 952 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 2: lot of regression that's going to work positively for them 953 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the football, and with Dak Prescott. Yes, 954 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,959 Speaker 2: I do think that the schedule is gonna be tougher 955 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 2: for them as well. Last year it was really good 956 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 2: for this offense to just absolutely cook. So I don't 957 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 2: think that their offense will be as good in terms 958 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 2: of just like raw counting points in terms of how 959 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 2: many completions, how many yards Toack will throw for. But 960 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 2: there's no reason to think that he's not gonna still 961 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 2: be really efficient with the weapons that he has between Lamb, 962 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: George Pickens, Fergus and Gavonte Williams after a bounce back year. 963 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 3: So I like the Dallas Cowboys a lot. 964 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna flip out one 965 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: thing here. Erickson has picked the Dallas Cowboys of the 966 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Deebro, I'm not going to talk about the 967 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: dark horse of the Denver Broncos of the Dallas Cowboys. 968 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: I am gonna throw the last one on this list 969 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:36,479 Speaker 1: because this last team was for you. At eighty to one, 970 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: I believe is the number the New Orleans Saints. You 971 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: came on here and said they could have an efficient 972 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: rams type of offense they could explode through. They can 973 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 1: win the division. But are they a legitimate super Bowl 974 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: dark horse candidate debro yay or nay. 975 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 4: I think they can be. I absolutely think they can be. 976 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 4: Like looking at not only their schedule, looking at the 977 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 4: division around them. I mean it's really the Buccaneers, Like, 978 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 4: I'm not worried about the Panthers and the Falcons threatening them. 979 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 4: So they can take their division. If somehow they can, 980 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 4: you know, win enough team, win enough games and get 981 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 4: a first round. By then we're that much closer to 982 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 4: the super Bowl. 983 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: Man. And we see this. 984 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 4: Year after year, like with all the offseason moves that 985 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 4: the Saints did, Like they brought in Caden Noll Withstravitcian 986 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 4: David Edwards to an already like solid offensive line. If 987 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 4: that Jael's early this could be a top ten unit 988 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 4: this year, bringing in Christen Miller, Jordan Tyson, Bryce Lance 989 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 4: Oscar deal more weapons for Tyler Schuck in his second season. 990 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 4: And we saw them close hot last year man Like 991 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 4: weeks fourteen through eighteen, they closed the four and one 992 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 4: record twenty four point eight points per game that have 993 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 4: been top twelve offense and Kellen Moore. I think like 994 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 4: a lot of the luster for him is kind of 995 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 4: like he's lost the shine. But I'm like, he's still 996 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 4: the same guy that we were talking about over like 997 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 4: the last few years as being like a rising, hot 998 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 4: shot young coach. It's just like the luster kind of 999 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 4: like went off of him and everybody's like, Oh, well, 1000 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,919 Speaker 4: that's not the guy now. It's like, no, he's still 1001 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 4: a really freaking good coach. We saw this with the 1002 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 4: Eagles before going to the Saints. I think they can 1003 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 4: be in this conversation, and I know people just think, 1004 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,879 Speaker 4: like I'm just being a goofy homer, but like, what 1005 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 4: was everybody saying about the Patriots last year? What were 1006 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 4: the conversations, Oh, they got a crazy easy schedule, blah 1007 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 4: blah blah, they ran it all the way to the 1008 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 4: freaking Super Bowl, man. So yes, I'm in on the 1009 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 4: Saints and just to toss some love here, man, Like, 1010 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 4: I think it's insane, honestly that the Broncos are plus 1011 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 4: two thousand for the Super Bowl for a team that 1012 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 4: if they had Bo Nicks and didn't have Jared's Didham, 1013 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 4: they would have probably been in the Super Bowl over 1014 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 4: the freaking Patriots and maybe would have beat the damn Seahawks. 1015 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 4: So the fact that they're on the outside looking in, 1016 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 4: they still have a stacked roster. They added Jalen Waddle 1017 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 4: this offseason. They were clear like the betting odds are 1018 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 4: wrong on them for the Super Bowl. 1019 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got the Lions, the Bengals, the Broncos, 1020 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and the Saints our five favorite dark horse 1021 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl candidates. Bro, you can only have one.
