Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 6: Why automatically are you you brought up what you said?
Speaker 2: You have the part theme song?
Speaker 5: So she wasnt Loo Colleen, because you're feeling the girl

Speaker 5: that rams practice wrighting features.
Speaker 4: You know you were off, but it's over. I was
Speaker 4: Summer County's over. You're here, listen.
Speaker 2: I was working as well, trying to get a flight home,
Speaker 2: trying to get out of there. I got stuck there,
Speaker 2: and it's my fault because I was late. It's not
Speaker 2: like something bad happened. I just didn't time it correctly.
Speaker 7: But as it turns out, Uber is illegal in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2: Oh and where I was staying.
Speaker 7: It was about a three hour drive to the airport,
Speaker 7: and I that the front desk messed up the transportation
Speaker 7: to the airport, so I had to take an illegal
Speaker 7: Uber by myself, which is fine, but they prefer you
Speaker 7: sit up front, and I was like, okay, So I'm
Speaker 7: sitting up front with the Uber driver who he doesn't
Speaker 7: really speak any English. I don't really speak any Spanish,
Speaker 7: but we both know enough and it turned into a
Speaker 7: three hour tutorial for both of us.
Speaker 2: However about like I don't know.
Speaker 7: A half hour in he starts asking me in broken English, uh,
Speaker 7: like if I have any.
Speaker 2: Friends that live there? If I'm single? Like, how how
Speaker 2: do you?
Speaker 7: And how do you? How do you say beautiful woman?
Speaker 7: And I was like do you have a gatto?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Uh, do you have a cat?
Speaker 6: Is?
Speaker 2: What about a dog?
Speaker 4: A peto?
Speaker 6: Is? That?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 6: It?
Speaker 7: Trying to remember just very basic words. So everything was fine.
Speaker 4: Didn't got something, you know.
Speaker 2: Notebook, Everything was in the back.
Speaker 7: Uh so it was just me and my phone and
Speaker 7: the driver. But he was cool and we made it.
Speaker 4: Well, you're here, she is here.
Speaker 2: She made an adventure.
Speaker 4: Do you do that trip again? You know? You also,
Speaker 4: you know, remarked that you were.
Speaker 2: I won't even try and drag me for this.
Speaker 4: Hey, there was a lot of rain. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you were staying in.
Speaker 2: The rain, all right, I know right, Listen, this was
Speaker 2: a race to that joke.
Speaker 7: I was making fun of people next to me the
Speaker 7: first night who were complaining.
Speaker 2: About it raining in the rainforest. I get it. I
Speaker 2: just after five days of raining, I would have loved
Speaker 2: to see a little bit of sun.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, I'm back, and you know what, I want
Speaker 7: to talk about?
Speaker 2: Football?
Speaker 4: There we go. Yes, I thank you.
Speaker 1: I am very excited, not only because this is our
Speaker 1: first Wednesday shoe like this together, but we actually have
Speaker 1: a game to preview. We're going to preview the Chiefs
Speaker 1: and Ravens football game, and very soon we have a
Speaker 1: fun game where we're gonna let loose the things we
Speaker 1: believe in the most strongly, and we're gonna stand on
Speaker 1: the table for it. We're actually gonna stand on a
Speaker 1: tiny table. You're going to see the tiny box stand
Speaker 1: on a tiny.
Speaker 3: Table as nature and God intended.
Speaker 1: Exactly, and or that we're going to do some news.
Speaker 1: And I do want to say, like Colleen, we bend
Speaker 1: over backwards for your big time star. You're not even
Speaker 1: where in a headset today because we didn't want to
Speaker 1: mess up with your hair.
Speaker 7: It's because I have to do a show later on
Speaker 7: on the network. And I said, yeah, I can we
Speaker 7: figure this out to streamline the day because the cans
Speaker 7: on the hair kind of leaves some marks sometimes.
Speaker 4: It's a problem. So I get it, Like you don't
Speaker 4: want to.
Speaker 1: Be bring me a microphone like Glowly podcasters and like
Speaker 1: Jordan and I, so you can see the setup. If
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube, this show is actually also going
Speaker 1: to be on television on those the fast NFL networks
Speaker 1: Chanel if you if you watch on Wednesday, you can
Speaker 1: figure out where to find that. Let's do some news
Speaker 1: before we get to the phone. All right, Let's start
Speaker 1: with a serious story that happened since we last tape.
Speaker 1: Ricky Pearsall suffered a gunshot wound to the chest during
Speaker 1: a robbery attempt. You know, if you're an NFL fan
Speaker 1: you probably followed this story, which has a relatively happy ending,
Speaker 1: is that he is feeling well. His mother, Aaron sitting
Speaker 1: in a social media post, initial that a bullet entered
Speaker 1: through her son's chest and exited out his back.
Speaker 4: He was a victim of a robbery.
Speaker 1: The San Francisco Police Department say a seventeen year old
Speaker 1: is in custody and will be tried in juvenile court.
Speaker 1: But the great news is that Ricky Piersall is healthy
Speaker 1: and he was placed on the NFI list, the non
Speaker 1: football injury list, just as a housekeeping measure. But John
Speaker 1: Lynch there GM spoke about it on Tuesday.
Speaker 8: You know, I wanted to touch on you know, at
Speaker 8: the time of all this going on, we had a
Speaker 8: team party that was schedule. When I got to the
Speaker 8: hospital and visited with Ricky, is one of the first
Speaker 8: things he said, mister Lynch, what's going on. You know,
Speaker 8: I would really like everyone to go to that party,
Speaker 8: and I'd also like to talk to some of my teammates.
Speaker 8: I said, Ricky, you take care of yourself. But you know,
Speaker 8: kind of a cool moment, we were able to pipe
Speaker 8: Ricky into the party and he facetimeed the entire group,
Speaker 8: and man, that show of love and respect was a
Speaker 8: real special moment for our team.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: And what can you say about this other than just
Speaker 1: you're happy that he's okay, their first round pick. If
Speaker 1: you didn't know that wide receiver for the team Jordan
Speaker 1: And yeah, Jonallyn said in that press conference he actually
Speaker 1: expects that Pierceau will be able to play football this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can come off.
Speaker 6: I mean obviously want him to get well, and thank god,
Speaker 6: you know it didn't turn out worse than this, this
Speaker 6: really scary situation. He can come off, you know, the
Speaker 6: reserve non football list after four games and the forty
Speaker 6: nine ers, just as a technical point, they'll have eight
Speaker 6: opportunities to do this. They might not need all of them,
Speaker 6: but that's one of eight that you can activate off
Speaker 6: of these designations through the course. I thought the really
Speaker 6: cool thing Colleen was like the people stayed the night
Speaker 6: with him at the hospital, you know, in lieu of
Speaker 6: parents maybe being there able to be there in the
Speaker 6: immediate after effect, and it sounds like his mom got
Speaker 6: there for the update as soon as possible.
Speaker 3: But that's really scary.
Speaker 6: Sounds like not just John Lynch, but several members of
Speaker 6: the front office and coaching staff were able to be
Speaker 6: there with him at the hospital.
Speaker 2: My heart like just this story when I first heard it.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 7: I just thought that maybe a bullet had kind of
Speaker 7: grazed him or something, because I just started seeing the
Speaker 7: push alerts coming to my phone, and I didn't initially
Speaker 7: think that it was.
Speaker 2: He got shot in the chest and it went through
Speaker 2: his chest. And just watching the video.
Speaker 7: Of him walking to the ambulance and how visibly shaken
Speaker 7: he was, which obviously if you have a gunshot wound
Speaker 7: to your chest, and the stories from the police officers
Speaker 7: that helped him out. The one officer said that Ricky pearsall.
Speaker 7: He looks at me and he's like, am I gonna die?
Speaker 2: And I just said no.
Speaker 7: And she said, I took my hat off because I
Speaker 7: wanted to make eye contact with him and I wanted
Speaker 7: him to hear me. And I said, listen, look at me.
Speaker 7: I know you don't know me, but I want you
Speaker 7: to trust me. It's not your time. And she was
Speaker 7: applying pressure to the gunshot wound with her with her
Speaker 7: right hand. She said it was her strong hand and
Speaker 7: just an absolutely insane thing. I think to go through
Speaker 7: to see whether you're a teammate, whether you're him, whether
Speaker 7: you're his family, whether you're the doctors. I mean, and
Speaker 7: police officers and doctors see stuff like this unfortunately all
Speaker 7: of the time, but for the most part, we're not
Speaker 7: talking about things like this. We're not talking about near
Speaker 7: death experiences. Because if the first responders didn't get there
Speaker 7: when they did, if it was a different angle at all,
Speaker 7: this story could be so tragic. And the fact that
Speaker 7: we just heard John Lynch talking about Ricky Piersoll saying
Speaker 7: that he wanted his teammates to go to this party
Speaker 7: and Jordan you're saying that they stayed overnight with him
Speaker 7: because his clothes, people in his life couldn't be there
Speaker 7: right away. I mean, this is I don't want to
Speaker 7: say it's a feel good story, because it's not. But
Speaker 7: the way that this kind of twisted and turned is
Speaker 7: really unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Well, the response from the first responders all the way
Speaker 6: through to people who have showed support to your point,
Speaker 6: I mean, that's just it's extraordinary work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and his mom, who is really updating the public
Speaker 1: on a lot of levels about just pointing out how
Speaker 1: fortunate in some ways they were that it missed Vital Organs.
Speaker 1: So yeah, God speeds to Ricky pearsall getting better. We'll
Speaker 1: be tracking his progress. And it comes at a time
Speaker 1: when there's so much on field football stuff with the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers coming back together. Literally, Brandon Ayuk is
Speaker 1: on the field practicing on Monday and he spoke with
Speaker 1: the media and so you know, so Brandon Ayuk is
Speaker 1: back on the field. They have their guys Juwan Jennings,
Speaker 1: who's not as big of a name, but as their
Speaker 1: number three receiver who also got a nice contract this offseason,
Speaker 1: been hurt throughout Trane Camp. He returns to the field
Speaker 1: on Monday, and then even bigger news for them, Trent Williams'
Speaker 1: is holdout is ending on the path to San Francisco.
Speaker 1: His agent sends out a tweet that you know, they're
Speaker 1: they're working towards the deal. So it didn't it didn't
Speaker 1: exactly finalize, although he was like in the plane when
Speaker 1: the agent sent it out. But everyone is confident now
Speaker 1: that Trent Williams is returning. And if you had to
Speaker 1: guess when it was going to be, it was gonna
Speaker 1: be sometime last week or early this week. We are
Speaker 1: seeing this now, and Trent Williams' situation is different because
Speaker 1: it was about money and we'll get the details. He's
Speaker 1: one of the best tackles of all time. He's certainly
Speaker 1: one of the best tackle in the league right now,
Speaker 1: and he'll get paid for But there is something about
Speaker 1: these veterans that just don't want to do training camp.
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett spoke today. He's a receiver for the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: of course, and he returned to the field and they
Speaker 1: were like, oh, yeah, what were you dealing with when
Speaker 1: you weren't practicing?
Speaker 4: All came He was just like, oh, just maintenance. I'm
Speaker 4: just older. Right, He's working out. Believe me.
Speaker 1: They're like, they're working out. He's britt Streeka. They gave
Speaker 1: him camp off. So Trent Williams got camp off and
Speaker 1: they're all back. And we spent all this time on
Speaker 1: this stuff. This is the part of the show where
Speaker 1: every year we're like, hey.
Speaker 4: Next year. At this time, it's like, we shouldn't spend
Speaker 4: all that time on it. But I don't know what
Speaker 4: else are we going to talk about?
Speaker 2: Well, Ratt Williams, this cause have a huge deal.
Speaker 7: Like, I mean, he's a huge guy and he is
Speaker 7: so important to this offense. I would argue that this
Speaker 7: is more important than the Brandon Ayuk deal getting it
Speaker 7: done because of the way that Kyle Shanahan runs everything,
Speaker 7: because he's able to do so much, He's so important
Speaker 7: to the run game.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've used him in motion too as a
Speaker 2: tight end before. Like it is.
Speaker 7: I think, just yeah, sure, we spend so much time
Speaker 7: talking about these things. And Jamar Chase, he's still not
Speaker 7: done well, but this I never had a doubt would
Speaker 7: get finished before the season began.
Speaker 4: Well, you brought it up. Let's talk Tomar Chase.
Speaker 1: Actually, Jamar Chase that this one is a little more
Speaker 1: up in the air. And you can say that because
Speaker 1: he went back to practice at one point then he
Speaker 1: was back out of practice and he's like kind of
Speaker 1: a practice And Zach Taylor, their coach, just doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to know whether he's going to suit up four week
Speaker 1: one at least as we tape this against the page exact, we'll.
Speaker 6: Just take a day to day.
Speaker 3: Do you have to put together a game plan that
Speaker 3: arouse him and not him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're always ready.
Speaker 6: You know, there's always injuries and things you got to
Speaker 6: deal with.
Speaker 4: So we're adept with that.
Speaker 9: To do a full sat of I mean.
Speaker 7: It's impossible for me to say with one hundred percent conviction,
Speaker 7: but I feel good about the shape that he's in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a coach who someone in the front office
Speaker 6: was like, hey, man, walk back what you said a
Speaker 6: couple of days ago and maybe just go.
Speaker 3: With the day to day approach on this.
Speaker 6: Obviously absolutely crucial to have Jamar Chase back in the fold.
Speaker 6: This is kind of one of those where similar to
Speaker 6: Trent Williams, actually, I mean I was more worried about
Speaker 6: the Brandon a Au deal not necessarily getting done than
Speaker 6: either of these two. Trent Williams and also Jim Chase
Speaker 6: getting done. He's so crucial and everything you hear out
Speaker 6: of Bengals camp with Icy Joe Burrow this summer is
Speaker 6: that he is ready to go.
Speaker 3: He's ready to go on a bit of.
Speaker 6: A injury revenge tour.
Speaker 3: I guess that he's feeling good.
Speaker 6: There was the cycle of features that sort of came
Speaker 6: out on him over this last week about really what
Speaker 6: he has been working on and how he's approaching the
Speaker 6: position and really his legacy at this point. And so
Speaker 6: you you need to have Jamar Chase his favorite target.
Speaker 6: The rapport is undeniable, the chemistry, the production he is
Speaker 6: where he's twenty five percent of their target share and
Speaker 6: sixteen yards even without Joe Burrow, and he does he
Speaker 6: does everything zero point three to five epa per target,
Speaker 6: and he's running a third of his routes or inbreakers,
Speaker 6: which means he's producing as a quarterback friendly target, as
Speaker 6: like a quarterback helper.
Speaker 4: He made Jake Browning look like Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's.
Speaker 7: Why it's going to need him back. And if not,
Speaker 7: so what you're gonna be. I mean, it's not bad
Speaker 7: to be relying on to Higgins, but that's going to
Speaker 7: be your de facto number one. And of course he
Speaker 7: had the down year, his worst year because of the
Speaker 7: rib and the hamstring injuries. Last season, he though, I mean,
Speaker 7: had back to back one thousand yard seasons in twenty
Speaker 7: one and twenty two, so you can rely on him.
Speaker 7: But not having Jamar Chase for any point of time
Speaker 7: is not a great thing for the Bengals. I think
Speaker 7: about Chris Jones last year sitting in the luxury box
Speaker 7: watching the Chiefs and the fact that they could not
Speaker 7: get a pass rush going whatsoever, and Chris Jones was
Speaker 7: just kicked back relaxing.
Speaker 1: The difference is the Bengals play the Patriots Week one,
Speaker 1: They'll probably have like CBS's number six broadcast team on
Speaker 1: that game. They do not need Jamar Chase in Week one.
Speaker 1: And it's a situation where he's only making a million
Speaker 1: dollars in base salary this year. His fifth year option
Speaker 1: doesn't start till next year, so he's still got two
Speaker 1: years left on this contract, so he could sit out
Speaker 1: if he wanted to, because he's not giving up.
Speaker 4: Some massive check.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is all going to be out
Speaker 1: of date the time we tape our preview show or
Speaker 1: our Thursday night recap show.
Speaker 4: Jordan, you are doing too much.
Speaker 1: So no, ever, No, we're doing a rotating guest on
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night show. But Jordan is kicking it off
Speaker 1: in fine style, so we'll see. I think that'll get
Speaker 1: taken care of, all right. I want to get to
Speaker 1: our our segment, but just quickly, a couple items of news.
Speaker 4: I'm just going to roll through. A Dory Jackson signed
Speaker 4: with the Giants.
Speaker 1: I had him ranked apparently way too high on my
Speaker 1: top one to one free Agents by like fifty five
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 4: He was still unsigned. Why are you making a face?
Speaker 2: Just listen, I'm just wondering.
Speaker 3: Just ask me questions.
Speaker 4: You guys even know each other? Like no, I'm just
Speaker 4: saying like.
Speaker 1: You immediately yeah for the listeners, like do you know
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: What is the Jordan Colleen relationship? We're getting to know agent?
Speaker 3: When we're on Quarterback Island together, you'll find out.
Speaker 4: Okay, I want to do that in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: A Dory Jackson had two really good seasons for the Giants,
Speaker 4: and he's only twenty eight or twenty nine years old,
Speaker 4: and he had a disastrous season where it looked like
Speaker 4: he might not have been trying his hardest at the
Speaker 4: end of last year, maybe making some business decisions. But
Speaker 4: that's a big signing for them at their absolute worst position.
Speaker 4: Tom Brady cannot go into.
Speaker 1: Facilities as the Fox broadcaster because he's trying to buy
Speaker 1: a piece of the Raiders. I kind of think he
Speaker 1: has to make a choice here, but we'll see, like
Speaker 1: he should choose to either buy the Raiders or be
Speaker 1: the broadcaster.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's giving up the broadcasting.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to probably buy the raiders.
Speaker 1: Okay, well he's probably gonna do both and just not
Speaker 1: go and meet with teams ahead of time.
Speaker 6: I think about like the logistics though, you have to
Speaker 6: you have to go to practice, you have to be
Speaker 6: in the production meetings unless you're getting secondhand fed information,
Speaker 6: which that's what it is.
Speaker 3: It's a thing though.
Speaker 6: I remember this when you know the buildings were shut
Speaker 6: down and everything during the early stage of the COVID
Speaker 6: nineteen pandemic, and it was like bathrooms were a big question.
Speaker 6: It's like Tom Brady can't be in a facility. Does
Speaker 6: he have Is there like a special Brady bathroom that's
Speaker 6: like outside of all these builts. Like that's a long
Speaker 6: Those are long days for production teams. If you're you can't.
Speaker 4: Well he can go on yet he won't be able
Speaker 4: to go in.
Speaker 3: So he can't go inside. But you could pass some information.
Speaker 2: Where there's I mean he could he could do zoos.
Speaker 2: He's showing games zoom a man and like he'll have
Speaker 2: a porter.
Speaker 4: I know he can't. He can't talk to him. It's
Speaker 4: a whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's on my radar that Tom Brady who makes
Speaker 1: all these speeches about like, hey, it's all about you
Speaker 1: have to earn your spot, and it's all about how
Speaker 1: hard you work, and it's all about like this and that,
Speaker 1: and it's like, instead, he's flying in ahead of an
Speaker 1: Emmy winner Greg Olsen, who's probably much better at him,
Speaker 1: and he's admitting right off the bat, I can't do
Speaker 1: my job as well as like everyone else who does
Speaker 1: this job because I'm trying to buy the Raiders. But
Speaker 1: it's fine. I'm Tom Brady, so that's on my radar.
Speaker 1: And then finally Mike McDaniel had to squeeze that into
Speaker 1: the show. I don't like it goes. It's like he's
Speaker 1: the Drew Bledsoe in this scenario. Wow, and and Greg Olsen,
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 4: He should choose. I should choose.
Speaker 3: It's kind of irresponsible to honest, I agree with you.
Speaker 3: He has to check.
Speaker 4: People are like, oh, this, it's not that big of
Speaker 4: a deal, like.
Speaker 6: It's going to become an it's talking to hey, Tom,
Speaker 6: here's here's a free idea for you, you know, turn
Speaker 6: it into a Netflix show.
Speaker 3: Mom's choice the decision.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, as someone who prepares an unbelievable amount Tom Brady,
Speaker 7: you would think that he this would be like not
Speaker 7: even an.
Speaker 1: Issue, and he will prepare for the job. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to try to do a good job. All
Speaker 1: that I'm wrong. I didn't even think he would end
Speaker 1: up taking this job. But the main thing is he
Speaker 1: also isn't allowed to criticize officials if you're a if
Speaker 1: you're a team owner.
Speaker 4: That to me was the key one.
Speaker 1: So he literally can't criticize officials as part of the
Speaker 1: game broadcast. Finally, Mike McDaniel was extended through twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Always smart for the coaches to get extended before a
Speaker 1: season starts, so if there's some ups and there's some downs,
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's guaranteed through twenty twenty eight. That makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. This Dolphins organization looks better than it
Speaker 1: has for a while, so do we. Frankly, Week one,
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a new polo, I'm wearing some makeup. We're
Speaker 1: looking great, and we're to stand on some tiny tables
Speaker 1: right after a quick break, sign a table.
Speaker 9: Every five minutes, someone in the broadcasting community loses a
Speaker 9: half inch of volume in their perfectly plumped hair. In
Speaker 9: the Chris Westling podcast studio, that someone could be Colleen
Speaker 9: Wolfe unless you step into help. Only with your support
Speaker 9: can we protect the locks of the tiny box. It's
Speaker 9: on all of us to save Connie's hair.
Speaker 2: Paid for by the game Game Morning producers. Let's face it,
Speaker 2: Colleen's most important show. Okay, I'm sweating.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, listen, we must protect the hair at all college.
Speaker 4: It's important.
Speaker 7: And yeah, you know today this is the first time
Speaker 7: in maybe eight years that I didn't do my hair
Speaker 7: and make up myself.
Speaker 2: So this was a big deal.
Speaker 3: And we commemorated it accordingly.
Speaker 2: Here we are volume and all.
Speaker 1: We see where we are in the pecking order, but
Speaker 1: we accept it. And your hair is a natural resource.
Speaker 1: And I do want people to thank you. I understand that,
Speaker 1: like the NFL Daily, isn't just like a show about football,
Speaker 1: it's about standing for some.
Speaker 2: That's that's exactly right.
Speaker 7: I really appreciate that I have long been a crazy
Speaker 7: person about my hair, as someone who cut it all
Speaker 7: off in seventh grade and then never had a boyfriend
Speaker 7: again until I went to college. So yeah, I mean
Speaker 7: this is and must be protected.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I'm sure that hasn't come up with your
Speaker 4: therapist at all.
Speaker 1: That's very Ah, I'm so excited for Colleen to be
Speaker 1: able to do this show, for us to have figured
Speaker 1: out a work around, and believe me, it's a heavy
Speaker 1: production value show. If you're watching on YouTube or or
Speaker 1: on our fast channel, you can see that we have
Speaker 1: a tiny table on our desk with the NFL Daily
Speaker 1: insignia and what we wanted to do in this show.
Speaker 1: We've done so many shows already, daily shows since July,
Speaker 1: so you kind of have a feel of what my
Speaker 1: takes are on most things. And we've heard a lot
Speaker 1: of Jordan's I'm waiting to hear more and more colleens.
Speaker 10: Yeah, she was busy, busy doing my hair, but like,
Speaker 10: what do we actually we have to give opinions on
Speaker 10: every team, but what do we feel like the strongest
Speaker 10: about what will we stand on the table for?
Speaker 1: And Jordan and I were talking, we haven't run this
Speaker 1: by you, Colleen. We want to put some steak on
Speaker 1: this too. Maybe at the end of the year, we
Speaker 1: were thinking we could do like a chore for each
Speaker 1: other or something.
Speaker 4: We were thinking. She thought maybe she would do your
Speaker 4: dry cleaning, like if you win. I hear it here.
Speaker 7: The other day left the sho for two weeks, didn't
Speaker 7: even know, brought it in, put it on the chair,
Speaker 7: and then left.
Speaker 4: Maybe whoever loses, uh does Colleen's dry cleaning.
Speaker 2: I thought, you're gonna do like actual steaks.
Speaker 4: Okay, that that would be fun too. I was sticking
Speaker 4: in the chore, like you guys, you know, someone has
Speaker 4: to wash.
Speaker 7: I don't want to have anyone do anything like steaks
Speaker 7: immediately what you want to in the kitchen.
Speaker 4: This was Jordan's idea. All right, So here's what we're
Speaker 4: gonna do.
Speaker 1: We're gonna stand on the tiny table and we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell you what we feel most strongly. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a triumvirate in the back who decides at the
Speaker 1: end of the year who won, who is right. So
Speaker 1: you have to be nice to these three people all season.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Eric Roberts, Randy Chavez, and Christie Stapleton.
Speaker 2: They were That's just a reminder for yourself who.
Speaker 3: Should be nice to know?
Speaker 4: Anyway, of course we would be.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, if there's any bigness, they decide
Speaker 1: who is best in terms of the take. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna stand on the table and this might
Speaker 1: be a little bit awkward. Oh, I'm finally this is
Speaker 1: one of my fantasies. It would be to beppy.
Speaker 4: This tall and look. I could stand here on the table.
Speaker 1: And avoid the Royal blue elephant in the room, the
Speaker 1: vintage Royal blue elephant. I could stay silent, and I
Speaker 1: could pretend you know what's brewing in the Pacific Northwest,
Speaker 1: like isn't happening, but like let's let's be reading.
Speaker 4: But you're biased. They say, Greg, We're.
Speaker 1: Gonna stop quote unquote listening to your podcast if you
Speaker 1: keep talking about Gino Sith.
Speaker 4: I don't care, like I don't need you, and I
Speaker 4: really believe it.
Speaker 1: If this is gonna be a Gino Smith season, it's
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. There's only gonna be one time that
Speaker 1: Ryan Grubb is coming into the NFL and is a
Speaker 1: first time offensive coordinator and is dialing up plays that
Speaker 1: people aren't gonna be ready for. It's gonna be the
Speaker 1: last time I think Tyler Lockett is with DK metcalf
Speaker 1: and Jackson Smith and Jig. But it's gonna be the
Speaker 1: first time Mike McDonald's going up against this division time
Speaker 1: after Tim. I think they're a low I believe in
Speaker 1: this team. I believe in this quarterback in this year
Speaker 1: more than ever. I think they're winning the division. I
Speaker 1: think they're going to the playoffs. It's a Seahawks year.
Speaker 1: I'm standing on the tiny table.
Speaker 6: Oo wow, Greg, some heat coming from a great height.
Speaker 6: It is, it is, it's trickling down.
Speaker 1: I think we decided, you know, before the show, that
Speaker 1: we'd stay standing on the table for maximum awkwardness.
Speaker 4: But now that I'm still here talking to.
Speaker 2: You, how's that going?
Speaker 4: It feels pretty awkward.
Speaker 3: Hold buddy, hold on.
Speaker 1: They're making the playoffs. That's that's you know. I want
Speaker 1: it to be definitive, but they are making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I do truly believe that this is going to be.
Speaker 4: A fun year.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: I have Seattle as a playoff team. I have them
Speaker 6: edging into the playoffs. I don't have it as definitive
Speaker 6: as perhaps you do. I just think that this is
Speaker 6: going to take some time, and I think that this
Speaker 6: division is so tough. The NFC West, with the forty
Speaker 6: nine ers now going to be at full strength. Right
Speaker 6: Christian McCaffrey started practicing again this week.
Speaker 7: Is still standing on the table, still on the table,
Speaker 7: feeling weird about us, I do, I feel really.
Speaker 4: I am an I next.
Speaker 1: So I'm getting flashbacks. I mean, first of all, this
Speaker 1: is great, I'm getting flashbacks to the horrible best man
Speaker 1: speech I made at Dave Bennett's wedding. Oh, I feel
Speaker 1: bad about that locking legs Dave. He said, He's like,
Speaker 1: now it's fine. You know, you got a lot of
Speaker 1: heart in it. But like, that's where I feel right now.
Speaker 3: I do think that you're on the right track. Yeah,
Speaker 3: with the Seahawks.
Speaker 6: I don't know that it's going to be as definitive
Speaker 6: as you think it is, however, because I do think
Speaker 6: that this offense will still need some time to figure
Speaker 6: itself out. First time coordinator. He is a great coordinator.
Speaker 6: I believe in this offense. I believe that the defense
Speaker 6: will come along. I think it'll take maybe a little
Speaker 6: bit more time for this defense to sort itself out
Speaker 6: in live action as well. But back half of the
Speaker 6: of the year is when the Seahawks team, I think,
Speaker 6: does edgen and make a push to edge ind at
Speaker 6: the playoffs. I don't know that I would go as
Speaker 6: strong as right especially right out of the gate, because
Speaker 6: the offense to me is kind of an enigma at
Speaker 6: this point, I don't know what to expect from.
Speaker 3: You don't know what Ryan Fox to put it in.
Speaker 4: I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't know what fought talent though, and I think
Speaker 1: this is the perfect offen for Gino. I've actually held
Speaker 1: back talking too much Gino and Ball on the show
Speaker 1: because they know it can be a lot. But this
Speaker 1: is an offense that is asking him.
Speaker 4: To do a lot.
Speaker 2: Still talking like Smith.
Speaker 1: That's asking him to make all the decisions at the line.
Speaker 1: That's like to me, it's taking advantage of what he
Speaker 1: can do best, which is win from the neck up.
Speaker 4: I feel absolutely great about it.
Speaker 1: I feel great about this segment, and I think it's
Speaker 1: time to pass the Tiny table over.
Speaker 3: To Jordan's regret everything.
Speaker 4: Jordan's dog, Tiny is so cute.
Speaker 6: This is the techie table all, okay, and I hopefully
Speaker 6: my zuppers done. Okay, Okay, thanks, Okay. My take that
Speaker 6: I'm willing to stand on the table for, especially after
Speaker 6: I went to Houston and watched the Texans in joint practice.
Speaker 6: I am standing on the table for this Houston Texans
Speaker 6: team not only to make a deep playoff run, but
Speaker 6: to be in the Super Bowl. They are building around
Speaker 6: to a Bronz CJ. Stroud on this cheap rookie deal.
Speaker 6: They are outstanding and well coached on both sides of
Speaker 6: the ball. You're two of this defense, and they added
Speaker 6: pieces including Daniel Hunter, who's gonna come off the edge
Speaker 6: with Will Anderson. I think that is an absolutely crucial
Speaker 6: one two punch.
Speaker 8: C J.
Speaker 6: Stroud might have three one thousand yard receivers this year.
Speaker 1: Well, you said they will according to the graphic. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like the Super Bowl and have three. That's very specific, and.
Speaker 3: I am clear on that.
Speaker 6: Stefan Diggs has has had what six consecutive seasons of
Speaker 6: one thousand plus yards. Nico Collins obviously is a thousand
Speaker 6: yard plus receiver, and I think Tank Dell has a
Speaker 6: real shot at being the third one thousand yard receiver
Speaker 6: and he was at seven hundred yards last season. And
Speaker 6: I think Bobby Slok knows how to spread the field
Speaker 6: out and get multiple targets the ball. They've got some
Speaker 6: really solid blocking and Dalton Shoults extending him this offseason.
Speaker 6: That's gonna help Joe Mixon find his legs a little
Speaker 6: bit again. You know, I know he's not Joe Mixon
Speaker 6: of a few years ago. But he looked great at
Speaker 6: these joint is this team. I'm telling you, guys looked professional,
Speaker 6: they look physical, they looked deep, they looked massive.
Speaker 3: I'm picking the Texans to be in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Are young.
Speaker 6: They're they're young, they're run, they're feeling themselves, but they're
Speaker 6: not unprofeud Like. Going there, you felt like, these are
Speaker 6: these are things perfect. These are grown ups going about
Speaker 6: this task that they know is like right in front
Speaker 6: of them. That was the entire vibe from that practice.
Speaker 2: Those Seahawks Texans.
Speaker 4: They're just like.
Speaker 3: I'm still standing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, They're They're at this perfect moment in time right now.
Speaker 1: They're like they're like Leo and Kate Winslet in Titanic.
Speaker 3: They're just everything is perfect and that hurts.
Speaker 4: Well, not the dead part.
Speaker 1: I just mean more in real life, but just for
Speaker 1: you know, made that mode, you know, more like in
Speaker 1: real life making them.
Speaker 6: That's gonna be, that's gonna be C J. Stroud's receivers
Speaker 6: catching the ball for them. They're not gonna drop that.
Speaker 6: They're not gonna drop the Bible.
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh yeah, they we spent a whole
Speaker 1: week practically on the Texans, like two or three weeks ago.
Speaker 4: I feel like, if it's.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's okay that a lot of people I know,
Speaker 1: I've rethought maybe we'll sit down while we have the conversation.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I like, how awkward do you feel?
Speaker 4: All right? I want to hear colleens.
Speaker 6: All right, Okay, I'm passing the tiny table off to Colleen.
Speaker 1: We're doing it a few times, all right, So these
Speaker 1: are important. Remember, at the end of the year, the
Speaker 1: Triumvirate will decide, well.
Speaker 7: If the best part is getting back you know this
Speaker 7: that like there were going to actually be some steaks here.
Speaker 7: I maybe would have changed some things up because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 7: I've talked too much about the Falcons winning the division
Speaker 7: this year, and like, I think the Colts are going
Speaker 7: to be right, that's fine whatever, You're.
Speaker 3: On the Colts again.
Speaker 2: I lost this for you.
Speaker 4: I can never.
Speaker 2: This is going to be the year. Honestly, that can.
Speaker 4: I throw them into the speed round.
Speaker 6: It's fine, all right, hold on, and I think she
Speaker 6: is getting on the table.
Speaker 4: It's a little trickier because she hasn't.
Speaker 3: Rare the tucky tiny table.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on a second, No, we want you
Speaker 1: to actually stand on the table.
Speaker 4: No, I have cops on.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 4: Oh you are okay.
Speaker 2: I'm on the table, don't Colleen.
Speaker 6: That's a bad joke, Colleen right now, average person?
Speaker 2: hYP wait, I know what now? I am like, I
Speaker 2: don't know?
Speaker 3: This is Should I lower my chair? I lower I Guys,
Speaker 3: you're seeing up here.
Speaker 2: This is pretty good. I can see the top of
Speaker 2: everyone's head. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: I suddenly like had a feeling of like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is what it was like for all those like Swedish
Speaker 1: two lane tennis players.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, she just pulled out the mic.
Speaker 2: This is better this way. Right here we go. You
Speaker 2: guys still got me back there?
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 2: All right, great? Perfect, honestly I feel better. All right,
Speaker 2: Well I broke the mic, but it's fine.
Speaker 7: So guys, it's been a long time coming, but we're
Speaker 7: finally here.
Speaker 2: We have made it.
Speaker 7: And for me at least, I am basking in the
Speaker 7: absolute glory of a prediction that will come true. And
Speaker 7: so it might as a shock to some of you,
Speaker 7: but it shouldn't. When the Bills actually run the.
Speaker 2: Football all year long.
Speaker 7: Okay, I love it when they do the thing that
Speaker 7: they have been promising us for so long. Don't be surprised,
Speaker 7: don't be shocked, because it's going to happen. Sure, Joe
Speaker 7: Brady has a predilection for the run game anyway, but
Speaker 7: this approach is born out of sheer necessity. The Bills
Speaker 7: need to utilize the run game because of their liabilities
Speaker 7: that they now have in this defense. The safety position
Speaker 7: is a troubling department at this point, with the injuries
Speaker 7: that they've had trying to replace Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde,
Speaker 7: Matt Mulano leaving a huge void in that defense. They
Speaker 7: need to play ball control and we already saw it
Speaker 7: in its nascent phase last year Week eleven, when Joe
Speaker 7: Brady took over We saw how that offense operated. He
Speaker 7: made James Cook a focal point of the offense, and
Speaker 7: you have a quarterback that is so good when he's
Speaker 7: able to play free. This offense is so much better
Speaker 7: when they're able to get in rhythm, run the ball,
Speaker 7: and then open things up downfield. This is what they
Speaker 7: will do this year, and they're built for it. So
Speaker 7: I don't want anyone to say it's not going to
Speaker 7: happen and maybe draft one of their running backs early
Speaker 7: for your fantasy team.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, this season is starting soon. You've probably done
Speaker 4: your fantasy draft.
Speaker 1: But you're right, I need late. I'm glad you mentioned
Speaker 1: that because I was just checking that. I recommend it
Speaker 1: to my daughter to take James cooking, So that was, yeah,
Speaker 1: first one of her.
Speaker 2: First Well that's how I know that you also believe
Speaker 2: in this.
Speaker 4: I really do.
Speaker 1: I we did the AFC preview last week. I did
Speaker 1: it with Nick Wright. We will absolutely take a break
Speaker 1: after this defense. I can figure microphone and she.
Speaker 3: Can fix him.
Speaker 1: I would I would stand on the table for this too.
Speaker 1: I would stand on the table for like the I
Speaker 1: picked the Bills to go to the Super Bowl. I
Speaker 1: have the Bills winning the Super this year. Now, how
Speaker 1: I do you have to pick someone and they're the
Speaker 1: team I like the best who beating the Lions in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: That's my super Bowl. But I don't need to stand
Speaker 4: on the table.
Speaker 7: Guy.
Speaker 1: I've been doing it all all month. And I think
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's going to be an MVP. Can he can
Speaker 1: be part of this running the ball? And I absolutely
Speaker 1: believe what you said that James cook is going to
Speaker 1: be the guy to help make Josh Allen look even better.
Speaker 6: There's gonna be There's been a lot of questions this
Speaker 6: offseason about, like, you know, especially with the departure of Stefan.
Speaker 3: D's and oh you know, who's Josh Allen gonna throw to?
Speaker 6: And I kind of point to the increased tight end
Speaker 6: usage that we're going to see. But then also, what
Speaker 6: does lady being in a heavier personnel do for your offense? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could run the ball.
Speaker 6: And I think that when people are curious or concerned,
Speaker 6: and I've heard this in the zeitgeist right that people
Speaker 6: are concerned about the bills, maybe falling off a little
Speaker 6: bit or tripping over themselves, if you can run the
Speaker 6: ball when it gets cold, you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 3: You will not implode.
Speaker 6: In fact, it'll fortify you, especially if you're already in
Speaker 6: those heavy personnel sets.
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought we were going to have to take
Speaker 1: a break to fix Colleen's microphone, but we're just gonna
Speaker 1: go through.
Speaker 4: Is a star amazing.
Speaker 7: I'm rewiring electric at my house. She used the word
Speaker 7: in pred election as her as she was holding.
Speaker 4: I need the tiny table.
Speaker 1: We had a feeling this would be a little and
Speaker 1: it was thank you for the tiny table. Yeah, look, Colleen,
Speaker 1: we could use a colleen around our house to do
Speaker 1: some electric work, to.
Speaker 3: Do some and we have a we have a stool
Speaker 3: for you to.
Speaker 1: The only like notable skill I have in the world
Speaker 1: is making absolutely correct football predictions over and over, picking
Speaker 1: the games, picking what's gonna happen, picking when things are
Speaker 1: going to be good, picking when things are going to
Speaker 1: be bad.
Speaker 4: And this year it's going to be really bad for
Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Like we've danced around this, but I do want to
Speaker 1: put this down for posterity. They are going to collapse
Speaker 1: this year. This is this is the year it all
Speaker 1: goes bad. Let's just look at the like the rock gear.
Speaker 2: Never sounded better for Let's look at the roster.
Speaker 1: I know, you know what's funny is at first I
Speaker 1: had a really lame one where it was like either
Speaker 1: the Eagles or the Cowboys. No, if you're gonna stand
Speaker 1: on the table, you got to make a decision, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be the Cowboys, all right. First of all, let's
Speaker 1: just quickly go through the roster. Running back, major questions,
Speaker 1: offensive line with a bunch of new rookies, major questions,
Speaker 1: wide receivers after Cede Limb, major questions, the linebackers. What's
Speaker 1: got him killed last year? Still major questions? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Eric Hendricks is gonna save you? When has that worked?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: And then let's go talk about the coaching staff and
Speaker 1: everything else going on. Okay, Dak Prescott, we know that's
Speaker 1: a strange situation. Mike McCarthy playing out of contract here,
Speaker 1: that's a strange situation.
Speaker 4: You know. What put me over the top was this
Speaker 4: bizarre Mike Zimmer profile in the Minneapolis Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Speaker 4: which I signed up for a one day subscription for
Speaker 4: just to read. Great job by by the reporter there.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: And Mike Zimmer, who I understand has gone through a
Speaker 1: lot personally, has gone through a lot of personal strategy.
Speaker 1: I feel for him as a person as a man.
Speaker 1: But the way he talked about the Minnesota Vikings when
Speaker 1: he left there with absolutely no accountability, burying a bunch
Speaker 1: of his old players and making fun of them and
Speaker 1: taking no responsibility for what he did, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: that's that part of Mike Zimmer to me is a
Speaker 1: sad way to live. And are we sure that Mike
Speaker 1: Zimmer is going to be good at this because here's
Speaker 1: how I would describe the Minnesota Vikings the last couple
Speaker 1: of years when he was their coach.
Speaker 4: Ineffective on defense. He's a defensive coach. They were below
Speaker 4: average back to back years. They were twenty fifth one
Speaker 4: year in DVOA on defense. And here's what the Dallas
Speaker 4: Cowboys were at the end of last season on defense. Ineffective,
Speaker 4: Like they gave up thirty five to the Seahawks, they
Speaker 4: gave up a ton of the Packers. They were not
Speaker 4: playing well. I don't think the personnel is there.
Speaker 1: I think all the storm building around them is going
Speaker 1: to collapse in on them, and Dak is going to
Speaker 1: be like deuces and so long.
Speaker 6: I was thinking when I that that's the kind of
Speaker 6: and it was really a well done interview and story
Speaker 6: by the reporter. That's the kind of interview you do
Speaker 6: when you just go all in on the record like that,
Speaker 6: when you know that you've got kind of a free
Speaker 6: space this year because nothing is certain after this year
Speaker 6: for the Cowboys, so you're kind of Normally, a defensive
Speaker 6: coordinator is not going to sit there and draw that
Speaker 6: kind of attention to himself. But if you if you understand, hey,
Speaker 6: it's this is this is a year, and who knows
Speaker 6: what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: But Well's build is is he career he.
Speaker 2: Or is he?
Speaker 7: Just like, you know what, I don't know what's going
Speaker 7: to happen this year. I don't know what's going to
Speaker 7: go on with this team either, And hey, I have
Speaker 7: an opportunity right now to take down some people on
Speaker 7: the way out.
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 4: And the weirdest thing he said in that entire and
Speaker 4: he said a lot of weird things.
Speaker 1: I'm still on the table. He said a lot of
Speaker 1: weird things. But the number one weird thing was when
Speaker 1: he talked about the playoff win they had in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: which you know, if our listeners don't remember, I didn't
Speaker 1: either all those Viking seasons blending that was kind of
Speaker 1: a down year for the Vikings, but they into the
Speaker 1: playoffs and they were heavy underdogs and Kirk Cousins won
Speaker 1: his only playoff game in a really kind of desultory
Speaker 1: game in New Orleans. They were huge underdogs in that
Speaker 1: game and that saved Zimmer's job and Zimmer said, I
Speaker 1: love Zimmer for this. He was like, yeah, I messed
Speaker 1: I messed around and won that game. He's like, because
Speaker 1: if I didn't, he was probably gonna get fired and
Speaker 1: he was gonna get the Cowboys job because Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: wanted Mike Zimmer, and so Zimmer said, that probably didn't
Speaker 1: work out for me in the long run because I
Speaker 1: didn't get the job that went to Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 4: Who I'm now working for. That's just a mess, they hinted.
Speaker 4: There were reports that like, Jerry Jones wanted Mike Zimmer,
Speaker 4: but McCarthy didn't.
Speaker 1: Like, it's just a lot. It's happening. I'm off, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm off the tiny table.
Speaker 7: As you're saying this, it's reminding me of what's happening
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia with Nick Sirianni.
Speaker 3: Are you want the table mirrors each other?
Speaker 4: No, No, you're up next, you're up.
Speaker 2: I'm going to break some things first.
Speaker 3: This is looking a little bent here.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: Oh that felt good. Break it to tough, felt good.
Speaker 4: That was good.
Speaker 2: You yourself.
Speaker 4: No, I will talk. No, I love the tiny table.
Speaker 6: Okay, this kind of goes hand in hand. Your your
Speaker 6: Cowboys take goes a little bit in hand with one
Speaker 6: of my other ones that I have a take that
Speaker 6: I am willing to stand on this fine, slightly bent,
Speaker 6: tiny table, I.
Speaker 2: Actually break it.
Speaker 6: No's oh, I'm gonna have to tell my dog about
Speaker 6: your shenanigans later, but maybe maybe we.
Speaker 2: Can figure out a deal. I don't want him to know.
Speaker 6: I think that at least one starting quarterback is going
Speaker 6: to get traded before the trade deadline this year. That
Speaker 6: is the take that I stand on the tiny table for.
Speaker 6: You know, I've been pushing this Dak Prescott thing from
Speaker 6: the perspective of the front office.
Speaker 3: This is not reporting.
Speaker 6: When I say perspective of the front office, I'm merely
Speaker 6: putting myself into Jerry Jones's shoes and quickly stepping back
Speaker 6: out again. And I think that if you are a
Speaker 6: front office and you're looking at the situation with Dak Prescott,
Speaker 6: or you're another team with the quarterback and you have
Speaker 6: an incumbent player behind him who you like and things
Speaker 6: start to go wrong, you're really looking at trying to
Speaker 6: recoop whatever you can from other teams and letting those
Speaker 6: teams figure things out. I know that Dak Prescott will
Speaker 6: probably want to hit the market as a free agent
Speaker 6: and really perhaps achieve some new highs there. And I
Speaker 6: think any player of his caliber, of any caliber, should
Speaker 6: want to get as much money as they possibly can.
Speaker 6: But I'm going to stand on the table and say
Speaker 6: that Jerry Jones is going to want to save face
Speaker 6: on this situation, or another front office executive, a general
Speaker 6: manager across the league. I'm looking at perhaps the Saints,
Speaker 6: perhaps the Falcons, perhaps the Steelers. You're going to want
Speaker 6: to save face on this. If it's not the guy,
Speaker 6: or you have an unresolved situation coming up in free agency,
Speaker 6: you're going to try to recoop whatever you can through
Speaker 6: that player, through moving that player from another team, instead
Speaker 6: of letting them leave and taking nothing, or having to
Speaker 6: make a tough decision in the office.
Speaker 4: Like You've gone pretty bold with both ears.
Speaker 6: And I really like that, standing on the tiny table,
Speaker 6: feeling the confidence of my dog flowing through.
Speaker 1: If I was if I was ranking the quarterbacks most
Speaker 1: likely to be traded before the trade lay on, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is fun.
Speaker 6: But if you if you argue, let me let me
Speaker 6: catch you off right there, because I'm on the table
Speaker 6: and I've I've got the high ground. If you are
Speaker 6: always got the high ground, that's true, you always have
Speaker 6: the high ground.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not that high.
Speaker 6: If you are arguing though, that the Cowboys do in
Speaker 6: fact for short, if you're sure.
Speaker 1: I get it, I'm just saying, like it's a drop.
Speaker 1: Jordan's not like some you know, six foot two or anything.
Speaker 4: Let's come down.
Speaker 6: In my brain, in my brain right now, I am
Speaker 6: actually okay. So if you are arguing that the Cowboys
Speaker 6: will in fact implode, if that is true, then it
Speaker 6: is also true that a team with that sort of
Speaker 6: level of implosion without people extended on the backside, including
Speaker 6: their head coach, are going to want to recoup whatever
Speaker 6: they can. So if that is true, then I think
Speaker 6: this is also possible.
Speaker 1: You would be the first person to have this out there.
Speaker 1: You will you will win the NFL this year. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, on this one, they did.
Speaker 4: Extend the trading deadline.
Speaker 1: They pushed it back a week, but it's still only
Speaker 1: after week and ninds it's still so early.
Speaker 4: So it's like they have to be like one, you know,
Speaker 4: they would have to be one in eight or something.
Speaker 6: But you know, if you've had an entire offseason, entire camp,
Speaker 6: like you know, at that point where your team is at,
Speaker 6: if you are any GM, you know, worth a day
Speaker 6: in this in this league, you are absolutely going to
Speaker 6: know the state of not only your current roster, but
Speaker 6: where you have to go next. And I'm not saying
Speaker 6: it's going to be specifically the Cowboys and Deck. I
Speaker 6: think that would be really interesting, And certainly the stakes
Speaker 6: are moving towards Jerry Jones wanting to recoup something out
Speaker 6: of this right knowing watching watching his nature for the
Speaker 6: last several years running this team. But I don't think
Speaker 6: it's just you know, regulated to the Cowboys specifically. I
Speaker 6: think there are a few teams like I mentioned and
Speaker 6: who either they're talking about benching their starter or they're
Speaker 6: talking about potentially moving into the future.
Speaker 1: For Jacobe Brissett count I don't think they would trade
Speaker 1: him anyways, but you know, does that do you win
Speaker 1: this if you get the right But so of the
Speaker 1: names you mentioned I would rank in terms of guys
Speaker 1: that still could get traded, still there still here. I'd
Speaker 1: probably go one Car, two Cousins, maybe one Cousin's two
Speaker 1: Car and then and then Dak and Russ.
Speaker 4: No one's going to want to trade for us.
Speaker 3: No, I think that's fair.
Speaker 4: I think you're even all those saying so I can
Speaker 4: get down, Yeah, those would be launching.
Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap up, Colleen, you're gonna give the
Speaker 1: last full one.
Speaker 4: We're going to take a break and do it a
Speaker 4: speed round after night.
Speaker 7: I gift to you, Thank you so much. I will
Speaker 7: be so careful with it this time.
Speaker 2: All right, hold on, we got some wires we're dealing
Speaker 2: with here.
Speaker 4: Got to move the microphone getting back into that.
Speaker 7: Actually, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and
Speaker 7: take it out again because uh, it's just easier to
Speaker 7: stand on the tape.
Speaker 4: You look like a stand up comic and that would
Speaker 4: be a fun rule for you listening.
Speaker 7: I almost took classes this summer being the keyword. Okay,
Speaker 7: here we go.
Speaker 4: Our friend Rachel Benetta killing it.
Speaker 2: I know she keeps trying to get me to do classes.
Speaker 2: She's so good.
Speaker 7: All right, here we go. Trevor Lawrence has a career
Speaker 7: best season. It's about to happen. The Florida man with
Speaker 7: the blonde flowing locks is about to shine brighter than
Speaker 7: we have seen him shine before. His offensive line is
Speaker 7: so much improved at this point. Now they have the
Speaker 7: addition of Mitch Morrise at center. He has great weapons
Speaker 7: around him, a healthy Christian Kirk. Those last five games
Speaker 7: of the season were rough. Trevor Lawrence was also banged
Speaker 7: up at that point. Calvin Ridley, the experiment is over.
Speaker 7: They'll be able to stretch the field with Gabe Davis
Speaker 7: and Brian Thomas Junior. I mean, look, it's year three
Speaker 7: of Doug Peterson's offense with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Maybe they run I.
Speaker 7: Don't know, a little less out of the shotgun, because
Speaker 7: in that final preseason game, I think it was against
Speaker 7: the Falcons, he was under center a handful of times
Speaker 7: and looked pretty good. Peterson said he didn't really do
Speaker 7: it in college, but he's really grown. He's become more
Speaker 7: confident more, He's just getting more comfortable with it as well.
Speaker 7: And yeah, the Texans, they are the darlings of the division.
Speaker 7: But I think that the Jags are going to take
Speaker 7: a huge step forward, especially after last season. I think
Speaker 7: the offense is going to be better than it was
Speaker 7: two seasons ago when they had ranked so high and
Speaker 7: Doug Peterson had just come in here, and that was
Speaker 7: kind of what I was counting Trevor Lawrence's rookie year
Speaker 7: as because the Urban Meyer year to me just didn't
Speaker 7: even really exactly. But the AFC South is so competitive,
Speaker 7: and I think it's just going to be so much
Speaker 7: more fun than we're used to. Minus the Titans, they
Speaker 7: got to they have a lot of things to do,
Speaker 7: but in general, the Jags are taking a huge step
Speaker 7: forward and Trevor Lawrence is about to go off.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: I've been I hate how much I agree with the
Speaker 1: tiny box and a tiny table because I kind of
Speaker 1: want to just what fire.
Speaker 4: I don't know, it just would be fun. But I'm
Speaker 4: so with you. I kind of think I was listening.
Speaker 3: She just held the bike out that is broken.
Speaker 6: It's like a boom at this point, I uh that sound.
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I think it's his year. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see if the whole rest of the organization can
Speaker 1: stand up with him, but I kind of think they'll
Speaker 1: be good in general.
Speaker 4: But I think it's time. It's time for Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 6: I really like Trevor Lawrence's potential. Yeah, I am less
Speaker 6: sold on the infrastructure from a coaching and that perspective
Speaker 6: around him. I think I would like to see him
Speaker 6: reach new levels in his game.
Speaker 3: I would like to see him kind of but I'd
Speaker 3: like for.
Speaker 4: Those to be cleaned up, Yes, lairs, but just seeh
Speaker 4: him getting some.
Speaker 6: Take the next step forward, getting that support, not just
Speaker 6: you know, with playmakers or weapons, but also with the
Speaker 6: infrastructure of the offense, and you know, you see quarterbacks
Speaker 6: take steps forward around this time. I would like to
Speaker 6: see that from him. He was one of the most
Speaker 6: highly touted prospects in recent memory. I remember watching and.
Speaker 3: Play in college. He was unbelievable. Yeah, and I love
Speaker 3: the hair.
Speaker 4: He's been a very good pro. Yes, he's been a
Speaker 4: very good pro.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been a very good pro.
Speaker 6: I think he's capable of reaching All I'm saying is
Speaker 6: that I think he is capable of reaching that next level,
Speaker 6: that next step. I would like to see the infrastructure
Speaker 6: around him to get him there.
Speaker 1: All right, pass over that table because we're going to
Speaker 1: just do a quick speed round. Stay standing through it
Speaker 1: because there's a lot.
Speaker 2: Of moving parts here.
Speaker 3: Let me put the mic more than expected.
Speaker 1: You know that Trevor Lawrence reminds me a lot of
Speaker 1: the guy. We're just going to throw out the last
Speaker 1: ones just so we have it on the record. He
Speaker 1: reminds me of Kyler Murray because if they weren't both
Speaker 1: taken first overall people would be like.
Speaker 4: Oh, good quarterback, above average quarterback. But the expectations are
Speaker 4: so high. So I've said it on the show, but
Speaker 4: I did want to just have it for the record.
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray is going to have a monster season. I
Speaker 4: say he gets MVP votes to just put it now. Now,
Speaker 4: they vote for five and like, if you look last year,
Speaker 4: like nine or ten guys got votes, but he would
Speaker 4: have to be one of the eight or nine best
Speaker 4: players in the league. Kyler Murray gets MVP votes.
Speaker 6: And the multiple votes not just the sort of the
Speaker 6: one off like multiple.
Speaker 1: No, you just need to like if someone votes him fourth,
Speaker 1: that counts as multiple votes, two votes, Okay, he gets MVP.
Speaker 3: Of just filing it away and then Chriss purpose.
Speaker 4: Chrystal Lobby has a monster season. What success for Crystal
Speaker 4: Lobby season.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go ninety catches, thirteen hundred yards monster year,
Speaker 1: Chris o'lbvey. They might not be in prime time much,
Speaker 1: they might not win many games, but Chryso Lobby physical receiver.
Speaker 1: He can get down the field, he can catch the
Speaker 1: short stop routes. I think he's ready to be like
Speaker 1: the guy where when we're making our preseason All Pro
Speaker 1: team next year, like maybe Chris o' lobby is.
Speaker 4: On that one.
Speaker 3: My question, Yeah, who do you think will be throwing
Speaker 3: to him?
Speaker 1: Derek Carr for most of the season, and then probably
Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler.
Speaker 3: Oh you handed it to me, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: All right, put it at your feet.
Speaker 6: I've got to thank you for laying the tiny table
Speaker 6: at my feet.
Speaker 4: The bills were mine too, But I already said.
Speaker 3: I almost was tabletopped.
Speaker 2: But I almost did that earlier ago.
Speaker 6: All right, all right, okay, I've got to one is
Speaker 6: a little bit longer.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna honk on this for a little while. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think that it'd be round. I got the table
Speaker 6: in the high ground, so I have power. Max Crosby
Speaker 6: I think should be in serious consideration for Defensive Player
Speaker 6: of the Year.
Speaker 3: I'm tired of voter voters.
Speaker 4: He was last year.
Speaker 3: Okay, Greg should should I continue?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 6: And he was I'm feeling too much power. There's too
Speaker 6: much adrenaline coursing through my van. But yeah, I think
Speaker 6: he I think he wins defensive player.
Speaker 4: He wasn't.
Speaker 6: He was in conversation, but I don't think in serious
Speaker 6: enough conversation last year. I think not only serious conversation,
Speaker 6: I think you should I think you should win it.
Speaker 6: Potentially putting Christian Wilkins next to him. You're actually getting
Speaker 6: this man help on the inside.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: It was kind of an insane watching going through next
Speaker 6: Gen on some of these these pressure stats, Harrison, I'm
Speaker 6: tired of voters punishing bad teams with great players on it.
Speaker 6: So seventy nine pressures tied for eighth, fourteen and a
Speaker 6: half sacks type for fifth with less help. So you're
Speaker 6: adding Christian Wilkins. But here's the crazy thing. Teams because
Speaker 6: the offense was so bad, teams were running the ball
Speaker 6: like crazy against this group. So four hundred and ten
Speaker 6: of his one thy thirty seven the most in the
Speaker 6: league of any pass rusher snaps were on run defense,
Speaker 6: which is first by a long shot. And he still
Speaker 6: had ninety tackles, which was first among.
Speaker 3: All pass rushers.
Speaker 6: Once you get this man some help, you will be
Speaker 6: the defensive I love there. And then also I think
Speaker 6: Jackson Smith and Jigba becomes the number one volume receiver, Hurd.
Speaker 3: He really impressed the new staff in Seattle.
Speaker 4: In sato Ooh, that's good. That was a spicy one
Speaker 4: to end with.
Speaker 3: I told you I could do this.
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not awarding points. It's up to you.
Speaker 1: If if you you want any more, you can have it.
Speaker 1: We just wanted to get all our takes out.
Speaker 6: You want a quick speed round, all most takes viewing
Speaker 6: all right on the tiny table, It's fine.
Speaker 2: I might as well just do it.
Speaker 7: Falcons win the division and I think the AFC South
Speaker 7: gets three teams in.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that, and these will all be recorded
Speaker 1: for posterity. Eric, Randy and Chris will decide at the
Speaker 1: end of the year who gets the steaks. I think
Speaker 1: that that was a clever way to do it. That's
Speaker 1: the steaks. Stakes are steaks. We are going to take
Speaker 1: a quick break and when we come back, we will
Speaker 1: bask in the afterglow of what we just accomplished with
Speaker 1: the tiny table segment. No, we're actually gonna preview the
Speaker 1: Thursday night game.
Speaker 2: Chiefs, poor football stuff.
Speaker 1: We are back on NFL daily chairs and the normal
Speaker 1: chair is not on tables.
Speaker 4: Got it all figured out.
Speaker 2: What a what a delight it all figured out, all
Speaker 2: of it really got things under control.
Speaker 1: Here exactly a little bit of news popped up while
Speaker 1: we were taping the show. Cameron Hayward got a nice
Speaker 1: little pay I'm sixteen million dollars in full guarantees a
Speaker 1: three year extension. You know, they put some flowery words
Speaker 1: on it. It's like the most guarantees for someone this age.
Speaker 1: But really they just gave him a little pay bump
Speaker 1: this year to one of the great Pittsburgh Steelers. So
Speaker 1: good news for Camra Hayward. Let's get into the Thursday
Speaker 1: night game. It's Kickoff, It's Ravens, it's Chief. Someone in
Speaker 1: three p forty five Park was like, let's not mess
Speaker 1: around and even put like a B plus a minus
Speaker 1: level team or game here. Let's us go with our
Speaker 1: biggest game of the year right off the bat. I'll
Speaker 1: start with you, Jordan, just like a matchup or something
Speaker 1: about this game that you're excited about.
Speaker 6: I'm going to steal yours from you because I already
Speaker 6: know what yours is going to be. Love that, Illia,
Speaker 6: What are you imagine how I've got bro because I
Speaker 6: was here in July.
Speaker 4: It's like, because I was throwing tomatoes at you are
Speaker 4: were you were? You know what?
Speaker 3: That was great?
Speaker 6: Though I did I did have like a like sort
Speaker 6: of a Monty python Us flashback vision of being you know,
Speaker 6: you're standing on a little stool and someone's throwing little
Speaker 6: tomatoes at you. Like that was greg for me. I
Speaker 6: started stammering, definitely.
Speaker 7: Did sometimes giving tiny tomato.
Speaker 4: Face.
Speaker 2: God mm hmm, okay, So.
Speaker 6: Are the Chiefs going to get more explosive pass plays?
Speaker 6: Are gonna be the ball down the field? I do
Speaker 6: think this is something that really has been a discussed
Speaker 6: ad nauseum.
Speaker 2: Sorry now.
Speaker 7: It's so good, like wingman, I got you, I needed,
Speaker 7: the girls are all here, So yeah, I do.
Speaker 6: I do think that, you know, there's been like some
Speaker 6: buzz and some hype xavier worthy and just some other
Speaker 6: elemental aspects of this offense.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes has talked about it at length.
Speaker 6: He's been asked about it at length of getting more dimension,
Speaker 6: uh those third level dimension back because defenses have totally
Speaker 6: changed of the last couple of years to try to
Speaker 6: literally constrict down over the top of his passing game.
Speaker 6: I also think, though, when you add this much speed
Speaker 6: and I'm curious to see this. This is my hunch
Speaker 6: that I've had all off season, kind of like a
Speaker 6: Dolphins esque approach. When you add so much speed, you
Speaker 6: really are able to use some of these motions and
Speaker 6: shifts to exploit the middle of the field because your
Speaker 6: your players can simply get there faster. Then defenders can drop,
Speaker 6: and their drops are changing, So the movement that they're
Speaker 6: taking from back to front changes because of the pre
Speaker 6: snapt misdirection and because of all of the speed. So
Speaker 6: I'm curious. It's a little bit borrow. You know, Andy
Speaker 6: Reid always is scheming, always as innovating.
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see.
Speaker 6: Not just if they add a third layer to this
Speaker 6: defense or this offense unlike you know with which they've
Speaker 6: struggled with these new defenses, but also I'm curious to
Speaker 6: see whether they add some of that different field and
Speaker 6: space movement.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, they were one of the least explosive offense in
Speaker 1: the league last year, which is crazy, and the Ravens
Speaker 1: were the best defense in the league at preventing big plays.
Speaker 1: And Rokwan Smith was quoted saying this week, you know
Speaker 1: that Ravens linebackers. We want to make them one dimensional.
Speaker 1: We want to take away the run. I was just like,
Speaker 1: whoa that you don't hear that too often? And yet
Speaker 1: like I get it. The Ravens are confident in their secondary.
Speaker 1: They were that good, yeah, in terms of defending the
Speaker 1: past last year with so many injuries. Marlon Humphrey, he's
Speaker 1: one preseason hype story. I'm kind of buying that he's
Speaker 1: like healthier and feeling better. Nate Wiggins, their first round
Speaker 1: draft pick. I'm really excited to see Hollywood Brown is
Speaker 1: not in this game. I should have mentioned the injury update.
Speaker 1: He's the only significant player who's going to miss this game.
Speaker 1: He might be back as soon as Week two or three,
Speaker 1: but he's out. Otherwise, these two teams are really healthy,
Speaker 1: and for the Ravens that's really rare. So Kyle Hamilton,
Speaker 1: this whole group is out there, and can they make
Speaker 1: the Chiefs one dimensional?
Speaker 4: That seems a little crazy.
Speaker 7: I think that, Yeah, they have so much talent on defense,
Speaker 7: but losing their defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, losing their defensive
Speaker 7: line coach Anthony Weaver, losing their DB's coach Dennard Wilson
Speaker 7: is kind of.
Speaker 2: A big deal.
Speaker 7: So this is a massive spot for Zach Orr to
Speaker 7: start in, like really just ripping the band aid off here.
Speaker 7: Let's watch you defend the Chiefs now with all of
Speaker 7: this speed that they have with Xavier Worthy, the way
Speaker 7: that he can stretch the field, this is a massive test.
Speaker 7: I think that, Like I'm I'm going to Kansas City
Speaker 7: tomorrow for the game.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker 7: And I know that it's one of the best places
Speaker 7: to watch a game in the entire NFL. It's so loud,
Speaker 7: so to be there for this matchup somehow you're.
Speaker 4: Going to be on the un and everything.
Speaker 7: No, uh uh, I'm doing something with Alex Smith before. Yeah,
Speaker 7: but and then I just get to hang out the game.
Speaker 3: I love that for you too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna ask a lot about Andy Reid, but
Speaker 7: I just really want to see how the Ravens defense,
Speaker 7: if it looks different, even a little bit at all,
Speaker 7: with just the shift and the movement within the coaching ranks.
Speaker 7: But for the Chiefs defensively, it's going to be all
Speaker 7: about tackling. Tackling with Derek Henry now in Baltimore, tackling
Speaker 7: with Lamar's mobility, and then defensively on the back end
Speaker 7: with all of the rookies that they have in their secondary.
Speaker 4: That's huge.
Speaker 6: I want to talk about something too that goes I
Speaker 6: think overlooked when we see these seasons extend longer than
Speaker 6: ever in history, and a team that has played longer
Speaker 6: into the postseason than any other team in NFL history
Speaker 6: at this point in the Kansas City Chiefs, is if
Speaker 6: you are the opponent going against them in an opener
Speaker 6: such as this, you are looking to make some sort
Speaker 6: of push you around statement that has the opponent reeling.
Speaker 3: For weeks at a time.
Speaker 6: You saw it a couple of years ago when the
Speaker 6: Bills came out and kicked the Rams in the mouth
Speaker 6: and totally disrupted their entire season. You see it when
Speaker 6: a team can play into the postseason and then they
Speaker 6: just get tired and they gas out and they wear
Speaker 6: down down the.
Speaker 3: Stretch you saw with the Eagles.
Speaker 6: The Chiefs so far have not shown necessarily that they're
Speaker 6: not as physical, not as able to really put things
Speaker 6: together during a max stretch. I do want to read
Speaker 6: a graph, a very short graph, from my colleague Nate
Speaker 6: Taylor at The Athletic. His second paragraph in his story
Speaker 6: of how his recent story of how Steve Spagnolo is
Speaker 6: preparing as defensive players, they're all wearing white long sleeved
Speaker 6: t shirts around in the locker room that feature two
Speaker 6: words in block lettering across the chest, rock solid, and
Speaker 6: then the back of the shirt says no toughness, no championship.
Speaker 1: And they know that, okay, and I get it, but
Speaker 1: they haven't come out of the gates swinging that well.
Speaker 1: They lost the opener, as everyone remembers last year, the
Speaker 1: offense never really got it going a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: You remember they started one and two, they started three
Speaker 1: and four. They did win the opener that year, but
Speaker 1: they have had a tendency to start slow, even though
Speaker 1: Andy Reid tends to throw a lot out there. Now
Speaker 1: there's a lot they feel good about. Rassie Rice is
Speaker 1: playing in this game. I didn't mention like he's not
Speaker 1: getting suspended. He's going to be there, obviously. Travis Kelcey
Speaker 1: all that. You mentioned the run game though, and the toughness,
Speaker 1: but they are a team you can run on. Even
Speaker 1: last year, you can run on them. And you think
Speaker 1: about the Ravens, and I did check out a little
Speaker 1: NFL pro. I gotta tell you, it's so fun. It's
Speaker 1: gonna make I use it all the time. Just down
Speaker 1: rabbit hole.
Speaker 4: It's a little much. It's almost to making it too easy.
Speaker 1: But the run game against a team that look struggled
Speaker 1: against the run a lot, and the Ravens are awesome.
Speaker 1: And then it was very interesting to see some numbers
Speaker 1: they had. How Lamar Jackson during the season was the
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league against single high which makes sense.
Speaker 1: And in the playoff game though, against these two teams
Speaker 1: he averaged like five yards per attempt and and during
Speaker 1: the regular season too, the Chiefs struggled at this. They
Speaker 1: they often struggled defensively against play action. The Ravens aren't
Speaker 1: like the highest play action team in the league, but
Speaker 1: their top ten in terms of play action, and they
Speaker 1: were the number one team in the league in terms
Speaker 1: of EPA per play action. So just all the ways
Speaker 1: that they can mess you up with the run game,
Speaker 1: whatever spice they're gonna add. With Dereck Henry and Justice Hill,
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize Justice Hill. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna have a significant part of this offense, and it
Speaker 1: might only be like eight to ten plays, but there'll
Speaker 1: be plays that you're like, Okay, that's such a different
Speaker 1: flavor than Derrick Henry. So between him and Lamar Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry. I just think it's a lot, and
Speaker 1: I do think the Ravens make some hay there on
Speaker 1: the ground against Kansas City.
Speaker 6: It kind of feels like to me, those T shirts
Speaker 6: are another subtle way of saying, remember this team has
Speaker 6: freaking Derrick Henry. Now it's like tighten up, guys, Like
Speaker 6: it's like get it. Get They're walking from.
Speaker 7: Doing the Super Bowl banner unveiling pregame like it's a
Speaker 7: whole thing.
Speaker 1: And they know how that felt last year. To do
Speaker 1: all that and then lose it stunk for them. I'm
Speaker 1: all buzz kill. Yeah, I'm gonna be curious to see
Speaker 1: Kingsley Suamtea, who's their rookie left tackle. Can the Ravens
Speaker 1: confuse him a little bit just mentally as a left
Speaker 1: tackle of like they like to show all the different
Speaker 1: types of pressure and stun sim pressures and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And keep an eye on when Checo runs because they're
Speaker 1: going to try to, you know, run a lot for cancer.
Speaker 1: Just keep an eye on Trent Simpson, who I think
Speaker 1: is going to have a big season. He's replacing Patrick
Speaker 1: Queen as this like run stuff for I think the
Speaker 1: Ravens love Trent Simpson. I think they think they're not
Speaker 1: going to lose anything without Patrick Queen. So that's one
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching. Let's pick this game. What the heck,
Speaker 1: let's start with Colleen.
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: Okay, post one or like, I think it's three and
Speaker 4: a half point spread.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I twenty seven twenty four. If I must give
Speaker 2: a score, Okay.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm taking the Ravens and I'm actually going
Speaker 6: to just completely do the opposite, Ravens twenty seven to
Speaker 6: twenty four.
Speaker 4: Like it.
Speaker 1: I'll take the Chiefs. I don't feel great about it
Speaker 1: by a point. I would take the points, like if
Speaker 1: we were picking versus the spread, but just I've just
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs and been wrong in individual games so
Speaker 1: many times.
Speaker 4: Just seems stupid. Why bother.
Speaker 6: I'm just flying really close to the sun. I was
Speaker 6: standing on the table, the tiny table, and I was
Speaker 6: really high in the air, and I just thought, why
Speaker 6: not go all the way to the sun.
Speaker 4: Yes, I love it. I like it and that way.
Speaker 4: Like listeners who check out Jordan and I, We're going
Speaker 4: to be doing the Thursday night recap right after the game.
Speaker 4: Really excited about that. We're gonna go live on YouTube,
Speaker 4: which is gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: Oh that's news all.
Speaker 4: You NFL Daily listeners.
Speaker 1: We just found out too. We're gonna try it. Wow,
Speaker 1: we want to try.
Speaker 2: H updates from the game.
