Speaker 1: NFL Game de View is a production of the NFL
Speaker 1: in partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome to Game Debut Present about Mercedes, Vince Patrick, Claibahn.
Speaker 2: Estatic to be here with my dear friends, Greg Rosendalt
Speaker 2: and Cynthia Freeland. I say dear friends because last week
Speaker 2: did not go well for almost anybody. Congratulations to everybody
Speaker 2: who won your Survivor pool. Sorry to everybody who's are
Speaker 2: It's all over. We're trying to find something different to
Speaker 2: do Greg for the rest of the early season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I don't want to talk about last week.
Speaker 3: We're on to Cincinnati proverbially.
Speaker 4: But also some people realistically, if you were the team
Speaker 4: that's playing them on Monday night, you know out somebody
Speaker 4: is on to Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: In a little We will move on, but first because
Speaker 2: we're honest, because we value your input and want to
Speaker 2: show you sometimes things don't go as planned. Well say
Speaker 2: that other than that, Miss Lincoln, how was the play?
Speaker 5: I don't know I can think about it. Is that
Speaker 5: I'm wearing someone else's pants. I don't know I think
Speaker 5: about right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got someone else's pants, which pant? Sometimes you
Speaker 3: just got to go with the show that you got.
Speaker 2: Essentially, what happens is when you get picks wrong, somebody
Speaker 2: comes and removes pants from you, and so we're pants.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try to earn pants back. All of this,
Speaker 2: I get picked up a game. Hey guys, So me
Speaker 2: and Cynthia one game behind Greg Rosenthal who still has
Speaker 2: the crown. But I will give you a little bit
Speaker 2: of advanced notice. We had a lot of similar picks
Speaker 2: last week. Yep, that is not the case. Good Icy,
Speaker 2: Let's talk some ball. If you knew coming into the
Speaker 2: season the Saints would have one of the hottest offenses
Speaker 2: in the league after two weeks, I'd be shocked. One
Speaker 2: and two, I'd ask for some advice. New Orleans scored
Speaker 2: ninety one points in two games, which is tied for
Speaker 2: the second most in NFL history, forty five points a game,
Speaker 2: ten points higher than the next team. Right now, So
Speaker 2: the Saints playing host to the Eagles on Sunday, Philly
Speaker 2: one Saquon Barkley one field goal in the first half
Speaker 2: away from being two to zero. Who has the edge
Speaker 2: in this big matchup?
Speaker 6: So I think the Saints do.
Speaker 3: It's a classic case where you're talking about do you
Speaker 3: trust the first two weeks of the season or the
Speaker 3: data from last last year in the history. I trust
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, one of the best running backs of his generation.
Speaker 3: I believe it is going to be a Hall of
Speaker 3: Famer someday. My eyes told me the last couple of
Speaker 3: years he still had it, but.
Speaker 6: The team around him didn't have it.
Speaker 3: Now you look at the blocking that is just opening
Speaker 3: up huge holes from great cohesion in terms of their
Speaker 3: outside zone running scheme, and what if the Eagles struggled
Speaker 3: with the last couple of weeks their run defense, They're
Speaker 3: just getting pushed around on the edge.
Speaker 6: That's where the Saints win.
Speaker 3: When they get a lead, they just give it to
Speaker 3: a k This Dome is going to be rocking. I
Speaker 3: trust the first two weeks. This data matters to me.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty three, twenty twenty two is over.
Speaker 2: These are new Saints, Yeah, new Saints, but the old
Speaker 2: talented Saints getting involved in a new system. I like
Speaker 2: the Saints as well. It's a three point win for me,
Speaker 2: New Orleans getting to win twenty three to twenty because
Speaker 2: speaking of days of old, I've seen the Eagles pass
Speaker 2: rush here in twenty twenty four and it's a rough
Speaker 2: situation closing moments of the game. Look at Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 2: Nobody at his feet, nobody around them. This is with
Speaker 2: under two minutes to go in the game. The Eagles
Speaker 2: have every opportunity to get the Kirk Cousins. I think
Speaker 2: of that BG rush against Tom Brady and the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: There was the rush that knocked out Rock Party in
Speaker 2: the game from Hassan Reddick. In the NFC Championship game,
Speaker 2: no pressure on Kirk Cousins all the way till that
Speaker 2: last throw. I think, considering how improved things are upfront
Speaker 2: for New Orleans, Cynthia, I think the Saints score points.
Speaker 4: Well, we're rolling out of the gates here with a
Speaker 4: prime number. I have the Philadelphia Eagles by one point
Speaker 4: twenty six to twenty five.
Speaker 5: Play that noise, Play that noise. It's so great. I'm
Speaker 5: looking at something.
Speaker 4: Interesting about Derek Carr and I love this stat. It's
Speaker 4: interesting when you watch it because it's been eighty percent
Speaker 4: of plays have either been a run or using play action.
Speaker 5: That's where they've had success. The thing is is we
Speaker 5: don't know what happens if they're not playing with the
Speaker 5: lead ninety one points you don't need to worry about it,
Speaker 5: but they need to worry about it.
Speaker 4: Watching Derek Carr here and I love what I'm seeing.
Speaker 4: It's very fun. I like the swagger. It's fun to
Speaker 4: watch Alvin Kamara. But I'm looking at the football facts
Speaker 4: and saying, the Eagles are going to take this one,
Speaker 4: look at the data, and they're going to stop their run.
Speaker 5: That's the choice they're going to make.
Speaker 4: And then what happens when the play action isn't working
Speaker 4: as well and the run game isn't working as well?
Speaker 4: Are you going to have those past concepts? Is it
Speaker 4: going to be the same model? Says one point win
Speaker 4: in favor of the Eagles.
Speaker 2: Well, I like it. We got different picks, so finally,
Speaker 2: finally we enjoy fun. We got more fun in our
Speaker 2: next game. A couple of teams they were able to
Speaker 2: get it done in the closing moments Monday Night. Yeah again,
Speaker 2: Kirk o Chains looked so much better than he did
Speaker 2: in Week one, ultimately finding Drake London for that game
Speaker 2: winning seven yard touchdown. Well comes next to the defending
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champs Sunday Night in Atlanta, also blinking the
Speaker 2: physiological requirement, We will blink but can the dirty birds
Speaker 2: keep the champs from rolling on undefeated? Grip?
Speaker 3: No, the Chiefs are going to get to three and
Speaker 3: oh twenty four to seventeen. Sometimes you just got to
Speaker 3: go with greatness. Of course, maybe the greatest quarterback of
Speaker 3: all time, Patrick Blumbs and one of the greatest tight
Speaker 3: ends of all time, Travis Kelsey. Let's just look at
Speaker 3: all of his pastic plays. Kelsey such a key part
Speaker 3: of the Chiefs offense. But wait, are all these plays
Speaker 3: from twenty twenty three? Yes, they are, because we haven't
Speaker 3: seen any plays in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6: What is happening?
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey had won cats for like four yards last week,
Speaker 3: didn't really do anything in week one when I asked
Speaker 3: for a highlight package for this season that there is nothing.
Speaker 3: At some point Travis Kelcey has to crank up those
Speaker 3: old bones and get it going. I think this is
Speaker 3: the week to get it done. The linebackers for the
Speaker 3: Falcons are not strong Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 6: They hear people talking that he might be a little
Speaker 6: past his prime. They're gonna get the all.
Speaker 5: Do you crank up old both? I don't know, anyways,
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this when I have the same winner,
Speaker 4: the same score for the Chiefs, but I have a
Speaker 4: little bit closer game. Twenty four to twenty one is
Speaker 4: my final score. Remember last week we were like, if
Speaker 4: only Kirk Cousins would manage to use play action. Well
Speaker 4: he did, he did eight times, and guess what happened?
Speaker 4: Not a lot when five of eight fifty two yards
Speaker 4: no touchdowns like okay, and then without play action was
Speaker 4: where all of.
Speaker 5: The action happened. So we were wrong. I was wrong.
Speaker 5: Craig was wrong.
Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't really move outside the pocket at all.
Speaker 3: I still think it's not a great thing when you're
Speaker 3: and you're.
Speaker 6: Picking the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: I'm picking the Chiefs, and I'm also telling you that
Speaker 4: it's a really good week for Kyle Pitt's touchdown just
Speaker 4: because of some tendencies for the Chiefs defense. But I'm
Speaker 4: saying on the other end of it, the Chiefs end
Speaker 4: up victorious in this matchup.
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts was open for a touchdown last week, and
Speaker 2: Kirk threw it to Mike Trout in the back of
Speaker 2: the zonne For some reason. I like that score so much, Cynthia,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take it as well. I've gotanked twenty four
Speaker 2: twenty one Kansas City Chiefs as well. I understand the
Speaker 2: Chiefs were dealing with injuries and there's that spot in
Speaker 2: the regular season where they historically have a little bit
Speaker 2: of a lull occasionally. But here's the Falcons defense. Yes,
Speaker 2: the Eagles are a good offensive line, but through two weeks,
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons defense are number thirty two in pressure
Speaker 2: rate in the NFL. I need you to be better
Speaker 2: if you're gonna play against Patrick Mahomes and try to
Speaker 2: get a win, preferably with four people. Maybe send somebody
Speaker 2: else if you want to. But that's dangerous with Mahomes
Speaker 2: that it makes it tough for me to pick the I.
Speaker 5: Know something funny, guess who's thirty one?
Speaker 2: Who's that the Chiefs? Oh points for everybody, Kirk Patrick, congratulations,
Speaker 2: I gotta have some opportunity. Let's check out some player
Speaker 2: props on this one, Patrick Mahomes. Looking at that one
Speaker 2: and a half passing touchdowns, seventy two and a half
Speaker 2: rushing yards for Jon Robinson, and almost seven catches for
Speaker 2: Reshoot right, I.
Speaker 3: Mean forty eight point five receiving yards? Is that for
Speaker 3: Kelsey on the season? So far, he's not even there.
Speaker 2: Get him, Greg, go? Greg is all about the old boats. Oh,
Speaker 2: Travis Kells, get that carbon rator, crank up those old bones.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Ravens and the Cowboys. Dallas shockingly
Speaker 2: boat raced by the Saints last week while the Ravens
Speaker 2: just playing a shocked by the Raiders. Which team rebounds
Speaker 2: on Sunday?
Speaker 4: Since your team does Baltimore winning this one twenty six
Speaker 4: to twenty for I like a lot of things about
Speaker 4: this game, but specifically Derrick Henry to overcome what will
Speaker 4: likely be something that takes a little bit of time.
Speaker 4: That's the fact that three of the offensive linemen for
Speaker 4: the Ravens are different this season. That's sixty percent. That's
Speaker 4: for you right there, Greg. But ultimately, what do you
Speaker 4: do when you have pressure? Old coach bek, you run
Speaker 4: right at pressure. Raw so run right at Micah Parsons.
Speaker 4: With Derrick Henry, I think they did not bring him
Speaker 4: on this team not to use him, so we saw
Speaker 4: it kind of get going last week against the Raiders.
Speaker 4: I think that continues against a Mike Zimmer defense that
Speaker 4: I'm still confused as to what we're going to see
Speaker 4: you throughout the season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't Mike ap Parsons as good.
Speaker 6: Though I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I just don't think Mike Zimmer has the players like
Speaker 3: the they're bringing in defensive tackles off the free agency wires.
Speaker 3: Some are going to injured reserve Lynn Val Joseph is there.
Speaker 3: I got the Ravens winning this game for much of
Speaker 3: the same reason I like it when Cynthia and I are.
Speaker 6: On the same page.
Speaker 3: I got him winning by a touchdown, and it's because
Speaker 3: of that run defense.
Speaker 5: Fisty.
Speaker 3: You want to know where they are according to Next
Speaker 3: Gen stat against inside runs where bed last in the
Speaker 3: entire NFL. You know where they are in red zone
Speaker 3: defense against the run.
Speaker 6: Dead last, Ben last.
Speaker 3: You know who's pretty good running inside, Derrick Henry and
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, by the way, and it feels like, you
Speaker 3: know who's the best red zone weapon I've ever seen
Speaker 3: that quarterback Lamar Jackson, who's great in the red zone,
Speaker 3: it's Derrick Henry. Like, I just don't think the matchup works.
Speaker 3: I don't think they got the players at linebacker or
Speaker 3: defensive tackle for Dallas.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm so glad that you guys are confident, because
Speaker 2: I was not confident in making this pick, although I
Speaker 2: will take the Baltimore Ravens by one point twenty one
Speaker 2: to twenty because of what Cynthia mentioned, there's real issues
Speaker 2: up front and at some point at oh to two,
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens are going to need to figure out
Speaker 2: the terrier of that offense a lot of specifically on
Speaker 2: the right side. But then I'm thinking about what the
Speaker 2: defense is dealing with. And Dallas, whether through personnel or
Speaker 2: also schematically play calling was feels too, have just punted
Speaker 2: on running the ball, making running the ball an afterthought,
Speaker 2: making things a little tougher on back in the offense.
Speaker 2: For those unfamiliar with Next Gen stats and the expected
Speaker 2: yards per carry, They've got years of data on where
Speaker 2: players are located on the field. You hand off and
Speaker 2: then see where the player has the handoff, and they
Speaker 2: give you how many expected yards that you will have
Speaker 2: on a particular play. Dallas has negative sixty one yikes.
Speaker 4: Negative sex Negative is bad, okay for a defense, negative
Speaker 4: is good.
Speaker 5: For an offense, negative is bad.
Speaker 3: So I've also got next Greg stats and I've been
Speaker 3: doing this show a while. We've been watching football a while.
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a John Harbough team go oh
Speaker 3: to three. When you see a team as talented as
Speaker 3: good as the Ravens, do you think Lamar Jackson's ever
Speaker 3: going to be owing three? Sometimes you don't have to
Speaker 3: get like too smart about it. They're just not going
Speaker 3: to be oh and three. That's not a bad way
Speaker 3: to pick games.
Speaker 2: I hope we never see that moment of Greg saying
Speaker 2: that again. I would not like to have to revisit that,
Speaker 2: considering the options that are available. We're just getting started
Speaker 2: here on game debut. Coming up, a battle of undefeated
Speaker 2: squaring off in Minneapolis. It's Shroud versus Sam Darnold. Two
Speaker 2: potential future Hall of Famers are picks for Texans Vikings.
Speaker 2: Coming right up after this quick break, it's time for
Speaker 2: the Drive to Excellence presented by Mercedes Benz. The Charge
Speaker 2: and Steelers in Pittsburgh, both teams sitting at two and O.
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert dealing with an ankle injury. Who gets to
Speaker 2: three and oh?
Speaker 4: Cynthia the Pittsburgh Steelers get to three and oh with
Speaker 4: a twenty two to nineteen. When I love a good
Speaker 4: twenty two because everyone seems to be so excited about them.
Speaker 5: Why because of TJ. Watt, of course TJ.
Speaker 4: Watt, who's had three pressures and exactly three pressures in
Speaker 4: the past two games. When you're watching what come off
Speaker 4: the edge, it's just a nightmare for any quarterback in
Speaker 4: this situation. And I know Joe Alt's been Grady's four
Speaker 4: pressures allowed in fifty one drop backs, which is wonderful,
Speaker 4: but let's be fair, what is a different animal. He's
Speaker 4: the hardest to defend for even the most seasoned of veterans.
Speaker 4: But lining up across from a rookie, like you know,
Speaker 4: they have that like welcome to the NFL moment, that
Speaker 4: is this is going to be his welcome to the
Speaker 4: NFL moment.
Speaker 5: Hey, rookie, wasn't that the show? Whatever?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is gonna be fun.
Speaker 5: Thanks are gonna be great.
Speaker 2: So you got a three point win. I've got a
Speaker 2: two point win for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's still a win, though,
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking back to the early days of picket
Speaker 2: to Pickens and it's like, oh, we're having all this fun,
Speaker 2: and there's the literation and now it's like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: was that just George Pickens? This is what he does
Speaker 2: and justin fields and he are leaking up and making
Speaker 2: a lot of plays even if they're not showing up
Speaker 2: in the stat but sheet. We've had a couple of
Speaker 2: long DEPI calls. They were going right at Patrick Swutan
Speaker 2: a week ago. Since the start of last season, he
Speaker 2: leads the entire NFL in yards where the expected completion
Speaker 2: percentage was less than fifty percent.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: I think this is a game where big plays can
Speaker 2: swing it, and our trusts the Pittsburgh Steelers can make
Speaker 2: those plays. I don't know if the Chargers are gonna
Speaker 2: make big plays in this one.
Speaker 6: Great well, they've made big plays in the running game.
Speaker 3: I look at these two teams and only one of
Speaker 3: them can run the ball.
Speaker 6: That's the not the San Diego Chargers, the.
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Right, they got two great coaches, but only
Speaker 3: one great quarterback in Justin Herbert. As long as he plays,
Speaker 3: I like the Chargers to win this game seventeen to fourteen.
Speaker 3: Now I go through why the Chargers are better, and
Speaker 3: I can hear you all the way from Pittsford, but
Speaker 3: the Steelers have the great defense. So to the Chargers,
Speaker 3: these are the top two defense in the league right now.
Speaker 3: Joey Bosa is having one of those seasons. When you
Speaker 3: watch him this year, you realize, oh yeah, when he's healthy,
Speaker 3: one of the very best players in the NFL.
Speaker 6: Khleio Max still getting it done.
Speaker 3: Pass rush from the interior, and in terms of their depth,
Speaker 3: it's been fantastic. I like their secondary. So to me,
Speaker 3: it's two great defenses. It's two offenses that haven't been
Speaker 3: so great through the air, but one team that can
Speaker 3: run the ball. That's the Chargers, not the Steelers. Let's
Speaker 3: just Greg it up. I just s gregged you a
Speaker 3: win Steelers in Week one. Now I'm going against you.
Speaker 3: It's a just Greg revenge game.
Speaker 2: Greg, giveth and take it away? How does Greg feel
Speaker 2: about your team? Find out next week the.
Speaker 5: Third person talking against me every time.
Speaker 2: We're gonna see if this is a trendy Greg going
Speaker 2: back and forth on the Pittsburgh Seels. Another team has
Speaker 2: jumped out to a two and zho start, the Vikings
Speaker 2: so far, no Kirk Cousins, no problem for Kevin O'Connell's squad. Indeed, Texans,
Speaker 2: Vikings both undefeated. It's stroud. It's the Darnald Hove buzzing
Speaker 2: in all of our ears. Something's got to give here.
Speaker 2: Cynthia who walks away from this game undefeated.
Speaker 4: The Houston Texans walk away undefeated twenty four to twenty.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at my college friend Brian Flores.
Speaker 5: He's just a lot old with me. Just kidding, he's
Speaker 5: just a little with me, but he loves the blitz.
Speaker 4: Since he entered being their defensive coordinator, no team has
Speaker 4: blitzed more than his. When I'm watching this team and
Speaker 4: then I watched c J. Stroud, I would recommend to
Speaker 4: him because I know he's watching our show.
Speaker 5: Maybe don't blitz him so much. Because CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud is very good against the blitz. I understand perhaps
Speaker 4: without Joe mixing, things could look a little bit different.
Speaker 4: I don't care. This is not an opportunity. His splits
Speaker 4: are ridiculous against the blitz, so maybe find another option
Speaker 4: in this matchup.
Speaker 5: The trend is not your friend in this case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a four point win by the Houston
Speaker 2: Texans as well, twenty three to nineteen. Pressure, of course,
Speaker 2: being a key theme in this game. In one place
Speaker 2: the CJ. Stroud is able to go when the pressure
Speaker 2: amounts is to Nico Collins, who was having a great
Speaker 2: start to the season. I'm just a general great start.
Speaker 2: Great when CJ is under pressure. He's been targeted five
Speaker 2: times this season. He's caught every single one of those
Speaker 2: passes for one hundred and thirty five yards and a touchdown,
Speaker 2: including one that he finished emphatically in the end zone
Speaker 2: against the Chicago Bears, which was one of my favorite
Speaker 2: plays from last week, far and away eclipsing the rest
Speaker 2: of the roster in that stat They're both very good.
Speaker 2: I think they could score more. I've got the Houston
Speaker 2: Texans Greg.
Speaker 3: I struggled with this pick. I went back and forth
Speaker 3: all week because I think st J. Stroud's outstanding. My
Speaker 3: son Walker is now a Texans fan somehow.
Speaker 5: Wasn't he a Jags fan?
Speaker 6: No, he was never a Jackson.
Speaker 3: But I'm going Vikings in this game twenty seven to
Speaker 3: twenty four. Look, I think the Texans are going to
Speaker 3: have a better season, have a better team overall. But
Speaker 3: I can see it on Monday morning us asking how
Speaker 3: are the Vikings three and know how are they doing it?
Speaker 3: With their linebacker play and this defense and Brian Flores
Speaker 3: that I just think cooked up a very similar offense
Speaker 3: in the forty nine ers and Brock Purty and it's
Speaker 3: a challenge that CJ. Stroud and this offense has not
Speaker 3: yet seen. And there's just something going on with this
Speaker 3: team early. Like I said, I think the Texans have
Speaker 3: a better season. But look at the linebacker Blake Cashman
Speaker 3: flying all over this field. It's a Blake Cashman revenge game.
Speaker 3: He did great for Demiico Ryans last year, and yet
Speaker 3: Brian Flores is using him in all sorts of creative
Speaker 3: ways as a pass rusher, in coverage, in terms of
Speaker 3: his run defense, this defense, to me, has a chance to.
Speaker 6: Be really special.
Speaker 3: They're really smart, and I just think Texans go about
Speaker 3: thirteen and four and this is one of those four
Speaker 3: vikings get the win. Let's just scrag it up again
Speaker 3: twice in a row.
Speaker 2: Not just Cashman. We got Daniel Hunter in a revenge
Speaker 2: game as well. Jonathan Grenard a lot of revenge in
Speaker 2: the air in this one. So per the early picks
Speaker 2: on the show, at the very least, we're not all
Speaker 2: gonna have a bad week. At the same time, von
Speaker 2: Wiga Football, let's look at some of the highest over
Speaker 2: unders coming up in Week three. The Lions and the
Speaker 2: Cardinals number at fifty one and a half following up
Speaker 2: on the Eagles and Saints and then Raven's and Cowboys
Speaker 2: at forty eight. So let's dive right in to that
Speaker 2: matchup at the top Vegas expecting plenty of points. Kyler
Speaker 2: and company obliterating the Rams last week, did they keep
Speaker 2: it rolling against Cynthia's Lions grit?
Speaker 3: Not exactly, but I think Kyler Murray keeps it rolling.
Speaker 3: I have the Lions winning this game thirty three to
Speaker 3: thirty one. So that big number we saw fifty one. Ever,
Speaker 3: I feel better about that number getting obliterated than I.
Speaker 6: Do either of these teams winning. They're both fantastic.
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray is playing quarterback at a level that maybe
Speaker 3: no one else is matching right now in the entire league.
Speaker 3: He can make the plays inside a structure, he can
Speaker 3: make the plays on the move, and he's certainly making
Speaker 3: plays outside of structure. One of the most special just
Speaker 3: talents in terms of his running and his passing ability.
Speaker 3: We've been waiting for a season like this from Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3: I think it can last throughout the course of the season.
Speaker 3: There's been hot stretches before, but I think the foundation
Speaker 3: of this offense and what Drew Petsig is doing can last,
Speaker 3: and I think they're gonna be one of the top
Speaker 3: five offenses in the league.
Speaker 6: But it's not enough to beat your li.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is how you know I pick with
Speaker 4: a model and not my heart, because as a Lions fan,
Speaker 4: I'd be superstitious and be like, they're not gonna win.
Speaker 5: I don't even care if I lose whatever.
Speaker 4: I have Detroit winning twenty seven to twenty three this week.
Speaker 4: And I want to alert you to some people that
Speaker 4: maybe you don't know as well, and that is the
Speaker 4: linebacker level of the Detroit Lions defense. We know about
Speaker 4: Alex Azeloni. He's got some great blonde hair, he's wonderful.
Speaker 4: He may or may not be playing. So may I
Speaker 4: introduce you to Derek Barnes and to Jack Campbell. Jack
Speaker 4: Campbell's the guy who was drafted in the first round,
Speaker 4: and I me Cynthia Freelan was like, Oh, they.
Speaker 5: Over drafted a linemack.
Speaker 4: That's okay, it's working out for them right here. This
Speaker 4: is going to be a big deal in this matchup.
Speaker 4: You talk about why Kyler Murray is so great and
Speaker 4: why this offense could be so great. Well, Number one,
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray's always a threat to run the ball. And
Speaker 4: number two, they're using thirteen personnel really really trickily, so
Speaker 4: three tight end sets. And one of the ways to
Speaker 4: counteract that is to have a really good linebacking cord
Speaker 4: to say, I see you're thirteen.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna get beat by me.
Speaker 2: I'm looking over at the offense. It's unanimous. I have
Speaker 2: a Detroit win twel oh no to twenty six.
Speaker 6: Though thread in the dah.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought about I thought about changing this, but
Speaker 2: then I thought about what happened last week. The Detroit
Speaker 2: Lions out gaining, doubling up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in
Speaker 2: terms of yardage, but still losing the game. And right
Speaker 2: at the end of the first half, the kicking teams
Speaker 2: coming out on the field, the offense is trying to
Speaker 2: get going. They're trying to get the ball spike Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2: Immediately as soon as the halftime interview comes up, he says,
Speaker 2: that's on me. I messed up. I callst our team.
Speaker 2: I'm not taking this from a motivational standpoint. The Lions
Speaker 2: have had to play two teams that they just beat
Speaker 2: in the playoffs this year.
Speaker 5: There's so much familiarity to Cardinals, and.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be so much attention to detail. After Dan
Speaker 2: Campbell himself acknowledges his mistake, I think the team picks
Speaker 2: up and I think they run the ball pretty well. Again.
Speaker 6: I'd like to see you try to mimusk Cardinals fans.
Speaker 3: Let's go, well, yeah, what it means, somebody switch it.
Speaker 5: I don't want that, like nothing against the.
Speaker 2: Cardinals, but now if it helps, Cynthia, we're not going
Speaker 2: to determine the game. Let's get some quick fix here
Speaker 2: on game deview. The Packers and Titans in Nashville. Green
Speaker 2: Bay taking care of business last week, No, Jordan Love.
Speaker 2: Now they got to go and win on the road, Cynthia.
Speaker 2: Do they do that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: They win twenty one to twenty.
Speaker 4: I want to point out something that maybe we've forgotten here,
Speaker 4: and that's the Green Bay Packers defense leads the league
Speaker 4: in interceptions.
Speaker 5: And we know one thing for certain, and that's that
Speaker 5: Will Levis. He's a high stakes poker player.
Speaker 4: He's either going to hit you a home run or
Speaker 4: he's striking out. And I think in this case that
Speaker 4: doesn't match up well with what we've seen from this
Speaker 4: Jeff Halfley defense another area where I was like, I
Speaker 4: didn't know what we're going to see.
Speaker 5: Turns out we're going to see a lot of smart.
Speaker 4: Risks and a lot of the ability to take the
Speaker 4: ball away being in the right spot. Interceptions can be fickle,
Speaker 4: but placement is a good deal.
Speaker 2: Greg Jess work it up, Bi Gregor Dolphin Seahawks in
Speaker 2: the Great Northwest. Skyler Thompson's starting for the Fins while
Speaker 2: Tua's out. Does he get a dune grin?
Speaker 3: I love the Seahawks in this game twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 3: Gino Smith is playing outstanding football so far this season,
Speaker 3: right there with Kyler as one of the best quarterbacks
Speaker 3: in the league. And that's the spite get seeing a
Speaker 3: lot of quick pressure in his face. That might happen
Speaker 3: on Sunday, but both of these offensive lines have been
Speaker 3: giving up a lot of quick pressure. The difference is
Speaker 3: Skyler Thompson is starting at quarterback for the Dolphins.
Speaker 6: It's gotten a little lost in this shuffle.
Speaker 3: The Dolphins offense did not look right when tuatungue of
Speaker 3: Ilo was out there, and that's only going to get
Speaker 3: worse with their backup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all in the Seahawks last one Jacks Bills
Speaker 2: on Monday Night. I've got the Bills maintaining their win
Speaker 2: streak and this one twenty four to twenty two. Jags
Speaker 2: have been in every single game this season. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's out of the range of expectations for them
Speaker 2: to come up and win this game. But early season,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's were taking care of the ball. The Bills
Speaker 2: are in top five and turnover differential. Jacks have made
Speaker 2: a ton of mistakes. I can in good faith pick
Speaker 2: them to go up to Buffalo and get a win,
Speaker 2: but I'll do I do think it's closer than some
Speaker 2: folks might think. As we look at the forty nine
Speaker 2: Ers and the Rams. The first touchdown score odds Jordan
Speaker 2: Mason leading the way with Kylin Williams right behind him
Speaker 2: Brandon aut Because some folks were playing for the forty
Speaker 2: nine Ers, Dwan Jennings and DeMarcus Robinson. That game gonna
Speaker 2: take place about eighty seven feet behind Cynthia next door
Speaker 2: at so Far Stadium. Sand Friend trying to rebound after
Speaker 2: last week's lost to the Vikings while the Rams are
Speaker 2: just trying to save their season. Who comes out on top.
Speaker 4: Cynthia Niners come out on top twenty four to fifteen.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna give love to Fred Warner here. Why well,
Speaker 4: number one he's playing so we can talk about him,
Speaker 4: and number two. I don't know if people understand just
Speaker 4: how good he is. So if you're looking at wind
Speaker 4: share at his position, he is like a full like
Speaker 4: probably one of the bigger. It's hard because it's not
Speaker 4: a very big number in general, right, like wind share
Speaker 4: for quarterbacks only five. So like when you're talking about
Speaker 4: the difference between a tenth of a wind share point
Speaker 4: that is massive even though it doesn't seem.
Speaker 5: Massive, but it is asked by a lot huge.
Speaker 4: Difference between the next closest guy in the run versus pass.
Speaker 5: Like he's a huge difference maker. We just love Fred
Speaker 5: Warner here.
Speaker 4: And you know, it stinks that there's so many injuries
Speaker 4: in this game, but I love watching Fred Warner.
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter, right for all the injuries that the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers have, And it sounds like George Kittle also
Speaker 3: probably out of this scheme. They still have great players
Speaker 3: like Trent Williams and Brandon Nyuk and Brock Purty, but
Speaker 3: how about the role players like Juwan Jennings stepping up.
Speaker 3: You talk about season the moment. Who grabbed Juwan Jennings
Speaker 3: off the waiver wire this week? It was me and
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have the best month of his career.
Speaker 3: There's a reason why they gave Juwan Jennings a big
Speaker 3: contract this offseason. Yes, he does all the dirty work
Speaker 3: in the blocking game, but he's a very talented catcher
Speaker 3: of the football over the middle where Brock Purty likes
Speaker 3: to throw the ball. They have great chemistry from their
Speaker 3: three years together, and I think he's gonna have a
Speaker 3: big target Shair. Brandon Nyuk is really not quite himself yet.
Speaker 3: Juan Jennings, why Jenniver one, Let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like every third down Brockberty is gonna throw
Speaker 2: the ball to Juwan Jennings. I've got to San Francisco
Speaker 2: win as well. Twenty three to twenty. My main hope
Speaker 2: with this football game is that everyone's okay after this,
Speaker 2: because the total feels a little bit high with everybody
Speaker 2: going down with injuries. Greg and I were in the news,
Speaker 2: were completing with Sean McVay late in the game against
Speaker 2: the Cardinals to just take Matthew Stafford out of the game.
Speaker 2: He was pressured on thirty seven percent of his dropbacks,
Speaker 2: sacked five times. Those Niner injuries are on the offense.
Speaker 2: Defense remains mostly intact, including Fred I'm gonna take the Niners.
Speaker 3: You'll note, though, Patrick and I both have them covering
Speaker 3: this spread here. This is a great rivalry where the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers almost always come out on top, and
Speaker 3: it's always really competitive, even for some bad Rams teams.
Speaker 6: I think they keep it close.
Speaker 2: So Ramley meme away. We hope the Rams all come
Speaker 2: back healthy. That was seized the season presented by Caesars Sportsbook,

Speaker 2: or older c Caesars dot Com backslash promos in order
Speaker 2: for to get the full terms. The Bengals just one
Speaker 2: play away from upsetting the Chiefs in Arrowhead last weekend.
Speaker 2: Forty eight seconds left, fourth and sixteenth, Dejon Anthony gets
Speaker 2: called for this pass interfere. It's al Rashia Rice giving
Speaker 2: Casey a first down. A few plays later, Harrison Bucker
Speaker 2: nailed a fifty one yard game winner. So now because
Speaker 2: of that, since he sits at zero to two, they
Speaker 2: play host to Jaydon Daniels and the Commanders on Monday
Speaker 2: Night Football. Do Burrow in company finally get the ship
Speaker 2: right at here?
Speaker 6: They absolutely do.
Speaker 3: Not only do they win, they put a thirty burger
Speaker 3: on the board.
Speaker 6: Is that a thing?
Speaker 3: Thirty three to twenty three? So they get over the
Speaker 3: seven points because Joe Burrow is back. It got lost
Speaker 3: in the penalty at the end of the game. That hey,
Speaker 3: that quarterback of the Bengals we were a little worried
Speaker 3: about coming out of week one.
Speaker 6: He looked like the old Joe Burrow in week two.
Speaker 6: T Higgins might also return in this game.
Speaker 3: But the most important thing is that Joe Burrow looked
Speaker 3: confident in his wrists, was throwing the ball deep.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 3: Again, I think this is one of the worst defenses
Speaker 3: in the league. If I had to rank who has
Speaker 3: the worst cornerback group right now in the league, it
Speaker 3: might be Washington. So that is a huge mismatch against
Speaker 3: this wide receiver group and Joe Burrow a lot of
Speaker 3: points for the Bengal I have.
Speaker 4: Twenty nine to twenty in this matchup in favor of Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: One way to counteract maybe the passing game on your
Speaker 4: defense being not as great is to run the football,
Speaker 4: especially between the tackles.
Speaker 5: Somewhere. We saw last game Brian Robinson.
Speaker 4: He had one hundred nine yards between the tackles on
Speaker 4: ten rushes. Can you do the math, it's ten point
Speaker 4: nine per rush. Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 5: There we go.
Speaker 4: But ultimately the point is is between the tackles has
Speaker 4: been a source of strength for the run game. So
Speaker 4: if there's an area that you would like to target
Speaker 4: the Bengals, I sat in these seats and said, I
Speaker 4: love that they picked Chris Jenkins to kind of help
Speaker 4: the DJ reader whole, But you know what, he hasn't
Speaker 4: played yet, so ultimately they're still missing some of that
Speaker 4: run stopping defensive power that we're looking for, which means
Speaker 4: Brad Robinson Junior is a full send for your fantasy needs.
Speaker 2: I like this matchup as well. I think Jane Daniels
Speaker 2: in the offense are going to score points. The trouble
Speaker 2: is that defense, the Washington Commanders that we're talking about
Speaker 2: it's a three point win, I've gotta have having a
Speaker 2: mc fearson field goal to make it twenty seven, and
Speaker 2: then the command to get some points late. Perhaps you
Speaker 2: could consider them garbage time points, but ultimately look at.
Speaker 6: Why projecting garbage times?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because look at what the first two weeks have
Speaker 2: been like. If you're Malik Neighbors or Mike Evans, you're feasting.
Speaker 2: How some of the best games receivers has had this
Speaker 2: entire season through two weeks, we've only had two weeks
Speaker 2: their number thirty two in passing efficiency defense to make
Speaker 2: it worse than the number twenty six team in terms
Speaker 2: of pressure rate. For those who are concerned about Jamar
Speaker 2: Chase early on in twenty twenty four, I think this
Speaker 2: is an opportunity for Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow to
Speaker 2: get things figured out. So it's a meme fest for
Speaker 2: the Bengals. Let's get into some more picks the Bears
Speaker 2: and the Colts. Caleb Williams Smith most of his time
Speaker 2: last week running for his life against the Texans Indies
Speaker 2: still looking for win number one on the year. Do
Speaker 2: they get it? Greg?
Speaker 6: You know what, they're not looking for a running game
Speaker 6: they've had it this whole time.
Speaker 3: They're gonna win this game by doing what they've already
Speaker 3: done twenty four to twenty.
Speaker 6: The Colts are not going zero and three. They're too
Speaker 6: talented for it.
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor and Anthony Richardson have and getting it done
Speaker 3: on the ground.
Speaker 6: This whole time.
Speaker 3: We expected a great offensive line. It's been great. Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 3: After a Week one where I didn't quite see the
Speaker 3: explosion that I wanted, I thought ran very well in
Speaker 3: Week two.
Speaker 6: Let's build the whole plane out of this running game.
Speaker 3: I know you don't want to run Anthony Richardson fifteen
Speaker 3: times a week every week, but how about this week
Speaker 3: against the Bears, who really aren't built to stop the run.
Speaker 6: They're not that effective stopping the run.
Speaker 3: They're fantastic against the pass, and the Colts are a
Speaker 3: little erratic that way.
Speaker 2: So this is a game.
Speaker 3: Just run the ball, get this win, get to one
Speaker 3: and two, and everyone's happy, at least everyone that picked them.
Speaker 2: Like me, Well, you've got a four point win. I
Speaker 2: agree in the standpoint of the Colts winning the game,
Speaker 2: but we're taking completely different routes there because I don't
Speaker 2: think it's running the ball. I think it's the big play.
Speaker 2: The big play from Anthony Richardson helps them score the points.
Speaker 2: And on the other side, the Bears have a real
Speaker 2: issue in protecting Caleb Williams. It is significant time after
Speaker 2: time again against the Houston Texans, he was getting smashed.
Speaker 2: The Bear offensive line surrendered twenty three pressures on forty
Speaker 2: eight dropbacks and the math has been done for me.
Speaker 2: That's forty seven point nine percent. She was doing it
Speaker 2: in her head while I said that. Eleven quickly press
Speaker 2: lines as well makes it very, very difficult. I've got
Speaker 2: the Colts twenty to seventeen.
Speaker 5: So hey, have you guys been reading the injury report? No?
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I have Chicago winning this game twenty two
Speaker 4: to twenty one.
Speaker 5: Why because when you can't stop the run, it all
Speaker 5: becomes much more difficult.
Speaker 4: I've seen Forrest Buckner, he's been on okay report and Leatu.
Speaker 6: Latu that's an issue.
Speaker 5: That's also an issue.
Speaker 4: They're also just absolutely let Joe Mixon and Josh Jacob's feast.
Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift good pick for fantasy this week. I think
Speaker 4: that's going to be a very smart way to get
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams out of some of the trouble we've seen,
Speaker 4: especially on third down.
Speaker 5: Their down's been an issue. Not gonna lie, I'm not
Speaker 5: gonna pretend it hasn't. But in this case, I think
Speaker 5: we get it. Maybe it's a DJ.
Speaker 4: Moore first touchdown through the air for Caleb Williams. I
Speaker 4: don't feel strongly about it. It is a one point win,
Speaker 4: but I do think that I see the path and
Speaker 4: I understand. I understand my own maths.
Speaker 2: As it turns out, there is well between the Colts
Speaker 2: not stopping anybody on the ground and the Bear's not
Speaker 2: getting something going. Something has to give between these two teams.
Speaker 2: The Bears actually a third game of the year against
Speaker 2: the third AFC South opponent of the year. They'll wrap
Speaker 2: that up on October thirteenth when they get the Jags.
Speaker 2: Look at some more quick picks here on game debut
Speaker 2: quick Fix presented by Zillo. The zero to two Broncos
Speaker 2: against the unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker's been balling. Does
Speaker 2: he keep that going? Great?
Speaker 3: He does, because his defense got to keep it going
Speaker 3: against bow Nicks. It's tough to watch this Broncos offense
Speaker 3: right now. The Bucks win this game twenty three to seventeen,
Speaker 3: because bow Knicks has no time to throw. Sean Payn's
Speaker 3: asking him at the line of scrimmage to make a
Speaker 3: lot of the protections and identify free rushers, and.
Speaker 6: He's not really doing that well with it. He's a rookie.
Speaker 3: Count on your offensive line to do that. Maybe help
Speaker 3: him out a little bit, coach, because he doesn't look comfortable.
Speaker 3: And when you're not comfortable, the last defensive coordinator, defensive
Speaker 3: play caller you want to see is Todd Bowles, who's
Speaker 3: just gonna send all sorts of crazy pressures at bow
Speaker 3: Nicks and probably cause a.
Speaker 6: Lot of turn on.
Speaker 4: I mean, they've been having creepers at the highest rate.
Speaker 5: They've been doing all these advanced things.
Speaker 4: But also know Mike mcglinchy along the O line for
Speaker 4: the Broncos, that is a massive problem.
Speaker 3: I was being generous giving the Broncos seventeen points here,
Speaker 3: so I just.
Speaker 2: Wanted to say that, Yeah, Greg is always generous.
Speaker 5: That's what we think about.
Speaker 1: Greg.
Speaker 2: Let's go to our next game, the Giants and Browns
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. Hopefully the g Man have found a kicker
Speaker 2: that they plan on allowing to kick the football. How
Speaker 2: do you see this one playing else.
Speaker 4: To think Cleveland wins this one twenty four to seventeen.
Speaker 4: I want to talk about a guy that we haven't
Speaker 4: gotten a chance to talk much about this year, and
Speaker 4: that's Amari Cooper. This is the Amari Cooper turn it around.
Speaker 4: Let's see the end zone. Big game for Amari Cooper.
Speaker 4: I love the injury report this week that says that
Speaker 4: maybe the tackles are going to play, because that has
Speaker 4: been the problem for this Cleveland offense.
Speaker 5: They've just been under a ton of pressure and just
Speaker 5: let my guy, Amari Cooper get the ball.
Speaker 4: Well, it's so fun to watch him be good, and
Speaker 4: this is a great defense to match him up against
Speaker 4: to kind of get back on track again, especially if
Speaker 4: the starting tackles are playing.
Speaker 3: Okay, so when we picked these games, we picked the winner,
Speaker 3: but we also picked the spread, and actually the Giants
Speaker 3: plus six and a half is one of my favorite
Speaker 3: picks of the week. I wasn't ready to go the
Speaker 3: whole way because it's Daniel Jones versus this defense, but
Speaker 3: I've watched this Brown Steam enough that they're just not
Speaker 3: good enough to be a six and a half point
Speaker 3: favorite against anyone. I feel like they're seven point their offense.
Speaker 3: Their offense to me is not trustworthy. It just feels
Speaker 3: like a low scoring, ugly game. Every Browns game is
Speaker 3: going to.
Speaker 4: Be like, like, do you think Jerome Ford then is
Speaker 4: gonna be like hey, He's gonna call me and be like, hey,
Speaker 4: that guy, Greg, he's so not generous with me.
Speaker 5: That guy's the least generous person I've ever seen.
Speaker 6: He probably will they'll run the ball with.
Speaker 2: Passing Jerome despite what he says about the offense, Greg
Speaker 2: is generous. This is not maybe debatable. Let's go to
Speaker 2: our last quick pick, Andy Dalton and the Panthers going
Speaker 2: to Vegas to take all the Raiders, and I like
Speaker 2: Las Vegas right here to keep things going, get their
Speaker 2: two game win streak twenty three to nine. In fact,
Speaker 2: we've gone in using technology and got highly edited video
Speaker 2: featuring Andy Dalton starting for the Carolina Panthers, just kidding,
Speaker 2: it's real, it's last year and he lit it up.
Speaker 2: He had two touchdowns, one listening garbage time. He threw
Speaker 2: the ball fifty three times. That's gotta be good for
Speaker 2: at least nine points.
Speaker 6: Is this being Are you being mean to Andy Dalton?
Speaker 5: Just wait, Andy, Dalton.
Speaker 4: I will say one thing, you could potentially play these
Speaker 4: wide receivers in this matchup because they're gonna have to
Speaker 4: throw the ball and Andy Dalton's much better again zone
Speaker 4: coverage than the guy who got bench right. Bryce Young
Speaker 4: had eight interceptions when facing zone. So I you know,
Speaker 4: you could potentially look at some wide receivers if you
Speaker 4: think they're gonna score more than nine points.
Speaker 5: Yep, you don't, then don't play the receivers.
Speaker 2: I lost a whole bunch of games picking the Carolina
Speaker 2: Panthers last year. I'm not making that mistake in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four. Folks, get out your pins and your paper.
Speaker 2: When we return, it's time for write this down. We
Speaker 2: are dishing out bold predictions week three. Stick around like
Speaker 2: ctb's gloves. When we come back, you're watching Game DEVIUT
Speaker 2: presented by Mercedes Bits. The time for write this down.
Speaker 2: As we get to some predictions for week three, start
Speaker 2: us off ground.
Speaker 3: So I'm going with Brian Robinson Junior going over fifty
Speaker 3: rushing yards. And if you've been watching this show closely,
Speaker 3: you might say, didn't Cynthia just talk about Brian Robinson.
Speaker 6: Yes, kids, One of.
Speaker 3: The smartest things you can do in school, find the
Speaker 3: smart person and then like copy them because they're gonna
Speaker 3: be right. The Bengals have nothing in the interior. They
Speaker 3: were bad defending the run last year. Then they lose
Speaker 3: DJ Reader, then Sheldon Rankins gets hurt, then BJ Hill
Speaker 3: gets hurt. I mean, I like the Washington Commanders to
Speaker 3: run all over this Bengals team. Robinson has looked like
Speaker 3: a player reborn this season. I'd put him over one
Speaker 3: hundred yards in this game. Forget about fifty.
Speaker 4: Wow, well just go with fifty, then take that. I
Speaker 4: learned something by not taking it. I'm gonna take my
Speaker 4: medicine here, I said. Brock Bauers touchdown last week. Well
Speaker 4: call me some Martindale here, because I'm going to go
Speaker 4: doubling down with the strategy. I think he's not only
Speaker 4: going to have his first touchdown this week, but he's
Speaker 4: also going to have at least four receptions and at.
Speaker 5: Least forty four yards.
Speaker 4: Last week, he became just the third tight end in
Speaker 4: the past ten seasons to have over nine receptions and
Speaker 4: ninety yards in a game. So it is very conceivable
Speaker 4: that in this matchup they're going to say, sorry, we
Speaker 4: didn't get you that end zone. Look, here's your red
Speaker 4: area of medicine.
Speaker 5: Please take it. It will see you in the end zone.
Speaker 2: It's so funny the tight end coming into the league
Speaker 2: and being like, hey, this guy could be one of
Speaker 2: the best, and then.
Speaker 3: He's already he might be in a mass I'm putting
Speaker 3: bracket number one right now.
Speaker 2: Why not. Speaking of numbers, I've got a number for you.
Speaker 2: It's fifty yards again for Jamiir Gibbs. I think Jamier
Speaker 2: Gibbs is going to go over fifty yards and Cynthia's
Speaker 2: win saying, but I'd be willing to take David Montgomery
Speaker 2: going for over fifty as well. I think the Lions
Speaker 2: are going to run the ball against the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 2: in the desert. Cynthia's look of concern and consternation can
Speaker 2: be wiped away. The Lions are good. It's just hard
Speaker 2: to consistently beat teams that are good, teams that kept
Speaker 2: their coaching staff that you just beat in the playoff. Cynthia,
Speaker 2: it's difficult.
Speaker 5: I'm with you. I'm just it's just very nervous.
Speaker 3: You ever you ever watched this backfield though, and think,
Speaker 3: what what would it look like? We just gave Jamir
Speaker 3: gives the ball a little more.
Speaker 5: I mean it seems like so good, but also like
Speaker 5: Sam Laporta, like can we milk crate? Like I need him.
Speaker 4: He's on a milk cart, and I need him for
Speaker 4: my fantasy team too, Like this is the problem when
Speaker 4: you have teams you're actually good.
Speaker 6: It was better too many good players.
Speaker 2: You see to look on a concern on her set face,
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, it's timed under stream.
Speaker 5: Just helping the book here. Please, I'm getting wrinkles.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: We're gonna help you out. Our picture definitely gonna be
Speaker 2: better or last week. Thanks for watching game debut for
Speaker 2: Zenda Bar Mercedes Bins, for Cynthia and Greg and Patrick.
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week.
