All right, gentlemen, let's kick things off 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.720 here with what's going on since last we left this division. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.000 The Houston Texans added some wide receiver help, which they 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:58.320 needed because Tank Dell. Unfortunately his career is in jeopardy. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.440 That's for sure. We have, of course, Stefan Diggs has 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.360 moved on, and they've brought in Jayden Higgins via draft, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.480 Christian Kirk via free agency, and Jalen Nole via draft too. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.760 They traded Laramie Tunsel, the one good offensive lineman they had. Sure, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.480 why not. Look, the offensive line hasn't been good basically 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.720 since C. J. Stroud got there, So Torell, I don't 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.440 know at this point if we should be worried about 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.120 it or not, because it's never been any good and 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.160 yet they've still been a pretty good team. Stroud did 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.000 regress a little bit in year two, but that was 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.920 bound to happen. Sure, the offensive line was a big 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.720 part of that, but they did have a fantastic winning 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.880 the playoffs. So where the Houston Texans reloaded, restocked and 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.120 ready for twenty twenty five. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.280 I mean, I would love to say a clear cut yes, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.160 but it's really just a yes because everybody else looks horrible. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.639 Like you understand, you know those group of people that 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.040 just hang around with a bunch of people that bring 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:56.959 them down. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.959 So that they look elevated. That's what the Houston sect 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.640 since look like here. They look like the. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:06.040 Pretty chick that's standing around with a bunch of sixes, 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.600 maybe some fives, and she's really only a seven point five, 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.239 maybe that, but she looks like a ten, and the 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.839 Texans look like a ten, even though the offensive line 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.600 has so many question marks, so many question marks. Trent Brown, 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.600 Cram Robinson coming in, but they traded Lambretzonsel, their best 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.440 offensive lineman, and now there's question marks on all five positions. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.320 Like regardless, if they figure it out and if CJ. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.400 Stroud is able to move on into year three with 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.920 playing behind a bad offensive line, I really do think 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.040 that the rest of the division being this bad is 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.000 really the only saving grace for the Texans. 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.920 All Right. I love Jadon Higgins. I like Noel too. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.680 Jadan Nole is a nice player. I think that they 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.840 did a good job of bringing in more help at 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.120 wide receiver, but you need time to throw the football. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.200 That's still the thing that I'm shocked that they didn't 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.240 do more this offseason to really improve the offensive line. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.560 I like the defense of the Texans. The head coach 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.400 ericson what'd you make of their offseason? 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.760 Well, they fired Bobby Slick, which I think was the 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.280 right move to make, and they made an in team 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.200 higher across the offensive line, someone that comes from Cool 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:17.520 Popovic coming from the New England Patriots, so I think 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.880 that or he has stems from the Nicle Patriots. Was 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.360 the assistant offensive line coach last season. So I think 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.440 there's really nowhere to go us but up when it 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.720 comes to the offensive line, Like you guys outlined two 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.440 years ago, it was they were all injured and that's 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.920 why they were bad. Last year, they stayed healthy, but 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.760 there was no creesiveness with it, so they were just bad. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.360 So yeah, for the worst offensive line again, well it's 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.520 been the case the last two seasons and the Texans 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.840 have won games and gone to the postseason and won 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.920 the division. So I think that you guys kind of 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.040 make a great point where this division is just really 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.680 weak and they're the best team in a weak division 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.760 and the defense is still really good. Yeah, like that's 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.760 the thing that has kind of I think that's kind 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.480 of what helped them last year overcome the offensive issues. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.720 Now I think that we should expect the defense kind 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.080 of maybe take a step back, that won't be as 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.520 good in terms of creating turnovers, creating pressure. But at 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.239 the same time, I just think that schematically, Nick Hayley 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.479 coming in as the offense ave coordinator coming from the Rams, 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.560 again also stemming from the New England Patriots getting Sky's 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.760 connection with Donte Karnakia like the offensive line king. So 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.400 I think that that just even if the personnel doesn't 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.360 look great, I think that's schematically it's going to be better. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.599 It's going to give Shrouds more time. Even though there's 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.200 an average offensive line. I think it's going to do 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:28.000 a lot to help them. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.039 Yeah, look, you still got Hunter, you still got Anderson, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.000 you got pass rush there. You know you got Stingley, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:32.960 you got you got a lot here. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.159 The CJ. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.560 Gardner Johnson there came over last year. I still think 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.200 that defense. I believe in them. The Jacksonville Jaguars another year, 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.480 another head coach. That's how things go in Jacksonville. Usually 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.920 Liam Cohene comes over from the offensive coordinator job in 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.880 Tampa takes over for the Jacksonville Jaguars as their new 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.479 head coach. They draft the two way player Travis Hunter, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.240 They draft bas Shell Tuton. Is that enough of a 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.800 change to really change the stars for the Jaguars Andrew Erickson. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.480 Would you make of the Jags offseason? 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.000 I think it was pretty positive in terms of who 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.479 they added. Adding Travis Hunter kind of fixed two team 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.920 needs they had. They needed another receiver and they really 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.760 need to need a defensive back, so they got two 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.480 positions with one player. So we'll see how things kind 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:15.920 of shake out with him, especially when we get into 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.479 our wild card bets. When it comes to Travis Hunter, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.080 I think it's just really you gotta have some action 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.320 on Travis Hunter this season in some ways some form, 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.560 because he's too fun of a player to not bet 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.600 on him to do something great as a true unicorn 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.880 in the NFL. But I think that bringing in Liam 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.120 Cullen just like what he did with Baker Mayfield. But 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.760 Trevor Lawrence, maybe he'll never live up to what he 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.000 was supposed to be coming out of Clemson as a 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.520 number one overall pick. But I mean, I can't say 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.400 that he's ever really been put in a situation where 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.599 it was a wheels up like this is the perfect 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.360 spot for him to succeed. I think William Cohen showed 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.280 last year with Baker Mayfield that hey, he can put 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.360 players in positions to succeed, So I would expect them 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.280 to be better than they were last year. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.960 I don't think anybody's down in in Liam Cone is 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.040 a good offensive mind Terrelle. I'm just not sold in 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.680 the fact that he's a good he's a head coach 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.240 or ready for that sort of job. I'm not. I 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.000 wasn't impressed with press conferences that he had. I wasn't 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.160 impressed with some of the the layouts of what his 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.320 plans were for the organization. I thought it was a 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.680 surprising hire, to say the least, to be honest with you, 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.720 especially when you see guys like Brian Flores, you know, 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.760 floating around who have head coaching experience, you know, great 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.640 defensive background. You know, maybe you can you know, get 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.600 you know tighter as an organization, maybe a little bit 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.920 more discipline because discipline is kind of lacked in Jacksonville 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.880 for many, many years. So what do you make of 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.480 Cohen and when you make of the draft? Here? Took 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.960 Touton's an exciting player, we know that. But Travis Hunter, 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.680 can he withstand the season as a two way player? 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:36.520 That's the big question. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.640 Yeah, and shout out to my guy to in former 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.360 North Carolina A and c Aggie Aggie Pride. You know, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:43.920 I got to show a little bit love for my 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:48.280 alma mater there. And there's a whole defensive side of 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.000 ball that I haven't heard anybody talk about this entire offseason. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.960 And we're just gonna expect the Jags that have it 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.880 figured out there, Like is there a legit plan? And 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.160 I understand they took a few guys in the draft 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.000 on defense and I help try to build out some 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.600 depth there, but I just don't trust that they're going 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.640 to be legit on the defensive side of the ball. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.520 And then if Goldie Lots gets out there and starts 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.160 turning the ball over crazy, I just don't know what's 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.160 gonna happen. Like there's the wheels could fall off for Jacksonville, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.280 Jacksonville's pick near the top of the draft. It feels 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.560 like every year the past five seasons. I just don't 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.360 know how much more they have to give. And I 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.239 think they did rush to Cohen higher. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.120 I don't don't. I don't know. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.080 I felt like I felt like there was more due 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.319 diligence that could have been done. And I'm just very 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.400 very interested to see what the changes are on the 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.040 defensive side of the ball. Yes, you're a good offensive mind, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.000 but there's two sides of the ball here, and you've 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.000 got to be able to play defense in NFL. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.080 Yeah, I'm skeptical, to say the least. The Indianapolis Colts. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.240 I'm also skeptical. Man. I had high hopes for the 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.600 Colts last year. This was kind of my sleeper team 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.640 that I will take in l on because I like 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.199 Change Sichin as a as a football mind, and I 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:55.960 still do. I think it's been in a weird situation 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.160 here with Anthony Richardson. They brought in competition in the 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.920 one Jane Daniel Jones, your old friend from the New 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.640 York Giants there who worked in Minnesota for a short time, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.440 and now he is, I guess, competing for the number 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.360 one job. If Richardson falters, if he gets hurt again, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:15.920 it's Daniel Jones. They drafted Tyler Warren. Charvari's Ward was 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.960 brought in to help out a little bit at corner. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.640 So that's kind of the major moves. Like Warren is 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.880 a huge talent out of Penn State. I think everybody 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.280 thinks he can be a great player, but you know, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.320 you got to be as good as the guy throwing 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.240 in the football. And that's been the problem here for 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.120 this team the last two years. Who's throwing the football? 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.520 How consistently and how's that working. We know the raw 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.240 athleticism of Anthony Richardson Turell, we know what it is. However, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.280 we haven't seen him develop into a quarterback. I don't 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.520 doubt the kids work ethic. I just doubt the amount 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.120 of reps he's been able to get between college and 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.719 the NFL. I kind of almost wish NFL Europe was 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.400 a thing where he could go out there and play 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.520 there for you know, a summer, and like figure things 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.679 out and maybe come back and get some more reps. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.559 But that's the problem. It's like you're right into the 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.719 fire again with Richardson. So is he gonna sink or 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:58.440 is he gonna swim? 0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:58.880 This year? 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.520 This is the rock in a hard place because you're 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.600 deciding between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, and you chose 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.920 to make this decision to have to pick between the two, 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.880 like you chose to put yourself in that situation. The 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.760 Colts are a dumpster fire. I'm gonna just go ahead 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.840 and say it. I have no idea what the Colts 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.760 are gonna do because you have to give the ball 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.520 to Richardson and you got it. At least see what 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.800 you have there, because everybody knows what you have in 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:30.439 Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones has been under different coaches, albeit 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.360 he still played for the Giants. He's been under different coaches, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.920 He's been under different offensive schemes, and it has not translated. 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:38.160 He's not good. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.079 And so if Anthony Richardson is not able to go 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.200 in there and make that leap and you at least 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.520 hey try by fire and play through them and see 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.200 if it works that. If it doesn't work, then all right, 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.560 we're gonna move on as a staff and figure something 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.520 else out. That's gonna be what the Colts are gonna 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.040 have to do this season. Are you gonna be ready 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.960 to move on enough? And I don't think they are. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.800 I think that they're gonna take this and it's gonna 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.760 be Richardson, Jones, Richardson Jones, richards and Jones, Richardson Jones 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.440 all season and that's gonna kill the morale of the scene. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.080 Yeah, Look, it's it's trying to figure out like if 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.439 you're setting the table Ericson, And you've got like this 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.079 fine china and it's really elaborate and decorative, but it's 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.760 super fragile, and you know, maybe it's not big enough 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.800 for all the food you want to eat on it, 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.199 and you're not sure if it's gonna hold up. And 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.760 then there's Daniel Jones, who's the opposite of the Anthony 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.760 Richards in China. It's that he is like the you know, 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.160 the Dixie paper plate, like you kind of know what 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.280 you're getting there, but you know that's kind of flimsy too, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.360 and you go to the cookout and you fill it 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:32.760 up too much. Next thing you know, it's starting to 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.480 flip over a little bit. It's not good. It's not 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.679 the Dixie get you gotta get you to get you 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.719 a second one, or you gotta get like the real 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.400 good brand. So Dixie's like the good one. It's like 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.319 the store brand paper plates at the cookout. That's kind 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.800 of what I feel like you're doing with Daniel Jones. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.240 So Ericson, who plays more games at quarterback this year 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.400 for the Colts? To me, that is the question that 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:52.840 informs your wagering decisions. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.480 Man, that is a tough question to answer. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.640 Who's gonna play more games, because it could really depend 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.480 on who stays healthiest because both these quarterbacks have dealt 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.959 with a lot of injuries throughout their NFL careers. I 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.480 think it's going to be I think it'd be close 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.280 down to a split. I think would be eight for 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.400 one guy and nine for the other guy, and maybe 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.360 it's eight all in a row and then the other 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.080 guy takes the second half of the season, or it's 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.000 more of a flip flop like Trail kind of outlined. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.120 I just think with the Colts in general, they're a 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.480 team that's going through an identity crisis. Where are we 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.199 trying to build Richardson up as our franchise quarterback because 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.160 he's still super young, and or we're trying to win 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.560 games with Daniel Jones because the GM and head coach 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.439 are on the hot seat. So you have these two 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.679 conflicting things going at it. And that goes to the 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.400 problem of having these two types of quarterbacks, because if 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:41.920 the Colts win with Daniel Jones, at the end of 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.520 the season, what are we winning? Okay, now you got 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.880 to pay Daniel Jones, Like, oh, that's great, We're feeling 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.040 to be fantastic firsus, Well, we should really get the 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.880 best to look with Kennon Richardson, and then you lose 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.199 all these games, but then the coach and GM get fired. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.439 So it's really hard. And to Trell's point about them 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.920 being a dumpster fire. When I did their win lost projections, 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.719 I was not kind to the Napolis Colts, thinking that 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.199 this could be disastrous. The one thing I will say 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.800 that works in their favor, and this is something that 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.480 I kind of looked a little bit more deeply at 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.839 as they're probably the one team in this division actually 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.600 has a good offensive line that you can actually feel 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.480 pretty confident in, so they were ranked fifth by PFF. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.559 They have two really good Star Wars players, specifically on 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.679 the left side at left tackle left guard. So I mean, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.240 if the quarterbacks just feeding Jonathan Taylor and that's how 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.280 they're winning games, then maybe you could see, Okay, maybe 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.600 they make some noise, but I think I just leaned 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.280 towards the ladder of I think that this is going 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.280 to be probably more ugly than pretty at the end 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.040 of the end of the season. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.000 Your responses, both of you to any question regarding the 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.760 Colts both were met with long pauses, which should tell 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.760 everybody if you're wagering, you should have a long pause 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.640 before you wager on the Colts because it's unknown, because 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.959 it's tough to invest in. This is look, this is 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.839 real shows about investments. At the end of the day, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.000 you want to invest in the Colts, you want to 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.040 invest in the Ravens. You know what I'm saying. I 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.520 think that's a question you got to ask yourself. And 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:02.880 I don't want to invest in the Colts because I 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.240 don't think there's enough value even to invest. Now, the 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.319 Tennessee Titans, they're turning the keys over to the car 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.720 to cam Ward number one overall pick in the draft, 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.800 l like a omanor also coming in their wide receiver. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.720 They brought in Tyler Lockett this offseason. So the Titans 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.640 trying to remake the offense, the will Lewis experiment hopefully 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.560 is over Look. You got Pollard, you got Taj Spears ericson, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.360 you got some talent on the offensive side of the football. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.840 The defense, I think, you know, we have some questions 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.600 about where they're going to be in terms of in 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.440 terms of talent level and productivity. It's you know, still 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.800 working their way into this new regime. From last we 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.000 left them. So what do you make of the Titans 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.560 offseason and the rookie taking over at QB and cam Ward? 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:49.720 I think Kim Ward's kind of exciting. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:51.800 I think that he could be a player that could 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.760 potentially win games for the Tennessee Titans, but I think 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.400 they'd also be a player in somewhat of a Will 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.400 Levis fashion, can also lose games for his teams with 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.840 stupid turnovers, which we know Brian Callan was not a 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.960 fan of. I think my issue with the Titans and 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.320 not be able to back a okay first overall pick 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.120 rookie quarterback. 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:07.920 Does he have a CJ. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.240 Stroud type of impact that jayde Daniels have of impact 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.720 in year one? Again talking about teams that go from 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.360 fourth to first in their division, the Titans are one 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:16.840 of those teams that you kind of have to at 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.120 least consider because of how weak this division is overall. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.360 But it goes back to me with Brian Callahan and 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.760 just how bad last year was. So do you guys 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:27.680 remember what the. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.760 Titans record against the spread was last year for Brian Callen. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.920 I don't think it was only three. I think that 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:33.600 only one three. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.000 They were two and fifteen. Oh it was two two 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.760 and fifteen against the spread, including which was a win 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.360 over the Patriots in overtime. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.720 And you know what, but turnovers will kill you, and 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.800 there was a ton of turnovers last year with Leve 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.920 was trying to force balls everywhere. It was no good. 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.520 I mean, Terrell, Oh, go go ahead, I guess. 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.520 To my point is the Titans, it was pretty clear 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.280 that they were a dumpster fire last year and that 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.120 was that was we knew about this every single week. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.240 His team is a dumpster fire. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.440 And they still couldn't cover the spread, Like they were 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.800 unable to meet like ground level expectations, and they weren't 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.280 able to meet those. So, yes, cam Ward is now there, 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.920 but I just still don't know if Callahan has necessarily 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.240 the you know, if he has the what it takes 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.160 to be an NFL high coach. 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.440 Look, Terrell, when you look at cam Ward, I think 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.120 you see a guy who could be a future starter 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.800 in the NFL. There's no doubt about that. I like 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.480 the kid, like, I think he's serious, which I really like. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.000 He's very focused, you know, in a lot of ways, 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.840 opposite personality of a Shador Sanders, which is I think 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.720 why teams fell in love with cam Ward in the 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.720 process and why they fell out of love with schanor 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.800 Sanders in the process. So is it enough. I don't 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.520 think so. On where ericson is. I just think the 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.120 Titans are still gonna be a bottom feeder team in 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.000 the NFL until further notice, because I think a lot 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.640 more has to change besides just cam Ward. 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.440 Yeah, and I think the Titans go as far as 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.480 cam Ward can take them. So if cam Ward can 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.160 adjust to the NFL really, really fast, then I think 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.480 the Titans, you know, might actually end up being a 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.680 good team. But my thing is, I don't expect to 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.840 see a quick adjustment, and it's just because how cam 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.000 wod plays football. Cam Ward and Will Levis actually are 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.000 more similar than people want to give them credit for. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.280 And it's just that cam Ward is direct TV and 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.080 Will Levis is basic Cable and cam Ward when he 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.240 makes those hero ball making decisions and he tries to 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.760 put the team on his back, more often than not 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.399 he's come out on top and he's been able to 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.960 get it done. But we see the moments where it's like, ooh, 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.280 if you do that in NFL, that that might not 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.560 be a good kid, that's gonna be a rough one 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:34.920
