It's yes, that's the possessive. Yes, 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: in a row is not England. It's not correct in 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: any situation. Right. Uh So this week and Dan Hansas 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: on the in the Dan hands As Power Rankings. Coincidentally, 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: I did a top ten power ranking, did you Yeah, 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: we just had one more segment we have to kill 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: in the pod, and I'm like, well, I'll whip up 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: a top ten, so we'll see how I drive with them. Okay, 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: I think there's a clear ten. After that, there's a 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: clear thirty two. Oh, there's a clear thirty two. Yeah, 24 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: it's been They've been down here for well the last 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: month or two. Now. They're horrible. The Houston Texans are awful. 26 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: I regret yesterday saying that there's this even the slightest 27 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: chance of college team could be an NFL team, because 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 1: there isn't. And I've been saying that my whole life. 29 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: But this is as bad of an NFL team as 30 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 1: I can imagine. And they have a win and a tie, 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: but I mean, they don't even try anything new. I mean, 32 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: and it's making The quarterback change doesn't count like love. 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: He just still runs cover two. I don't know if 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: if if they you know, hey, when he got the job, 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: he said, look, we want to lose as many games 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: as we can for this for one more year, for 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: another year. I don't get to plan unless that we're 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna have two high draft picks and we're 39 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: gonna rebuild this thing, and we're gonna do it right. 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna get we're gonna make sure we get our 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: quarterback and then we're gonna get something else. Smiths had success. 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: But I was listening to some podcasts, like his last 43 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: ten years of coaching, he's winning of his game, including 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: in college. Yeah, I mean, like Illinois wasn't exactly a powerhouse. 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: At thirty one, the Indianapolis Colts down four spots. That's 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: rough that fourth quarter. They were very competitive though before that. 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: If they get the two point conversion, that's a tie 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter, right right, I mean the 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: Wheels came off in an unbelievable fashion for the last 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: ten minutes or whatever. But Matt Ryan turned into a pumpkin. 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: He's pretty bad. I think thirty one is a little 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: rough on them. Okay. At thirty up a spot are 53 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. The Broncos played the Colts. Right now, 54 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Colts. I think I went to a score, right, 55 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: I mean, they Colts have a better offense, can't even 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: like get close to the end zone. No, it's I'm 57 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: honestly shocked, and I'm not wishing it it will on anyone. 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: I thought Hackett would got let go in the last 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. I can't believe that he's still there. 60 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: Unbelievable at twenty nine up a spot. Because of course 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: the Colts fell the Rams. They were more competitive than 62 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: you know if you only listen to these on podcasts. 63 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: They just picked up Baker Mayfield and it sounds like 64 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna play sort of soon. I mean the games 65 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: that the Texans have been competitive and have been their 66 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: division games, Yeah, you played division opponents differently, and like, 67 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: do I think Baker Mayfield is gonna make any bit 68 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: of difference? No, but sort of like the Steelers. I 69 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: give McVeigh and the Rams credit. Hey, we're the super 70 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Bowl champs. We're not going to just lay down, you know, 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: We're at least gonna go down swinging. I don't know 72 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: if they had a choice, but they may not have 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: had a quarterback. That's a good point. Good for Baker though. 74 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: At least he's gonna get a chance and gonna get 75 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: a shot at up a spot. You might get killed too, 76 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: You might get killed behind that line the Chicago Bears. 77 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: I still think the Colts are better than the Bears. 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean, it's just it's justin 79 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: fields and nothing else. The whole offense, and it's kind 80 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: of like what we're talking about. Lamar last time at 81 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: seven up a spot the Carolina Panthers. I want that job. 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: After watching Monday and Football last night, Carolina, if that 83 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: division is going to be just trash exactly. I mean, 84 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: if you had a coach that made two really good moves, 85 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: quarterback being one, you might dominate that division for five years. Well, 86 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons be the favorite going into next season that 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Tom Brady retires, not with their quarterback situation. Yeah, well, 88 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: we don't know what Ritter is. They're a team that's 89 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: the team that's off this week. They should make the move, 90 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: especially now they want a game and a half behind 91 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: the box. Yeah yeah, they might still feel like they're 92 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: in it right right, but they're not doing themselves any favors. 93 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Just it's time. Yeah, if you could get a month 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: or more of Ritter to at least evaluate and say, okay, 95 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: well we'll draft at the end instead or whatever, you 96 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: know that that would have value for the franchise. At 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: twenty Carolina is the team I would want to be 98 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: the head coach of. Yeah, you know, big picture. At 99 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: twenty six, holding steady the Saints, that whole division right now. 100 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: I bet Tampa's too high when it's also it's all 101 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: they're not good. Um, Saints are of disaster. Just the 102 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: worst division it's ever been in football. I mean, it's 103 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: the hardest to watch awful. Yeah, I mean Atlanta has 104 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: some wins, but they're not good. There's not a good 105 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: offense in the entire division. No, no, And none of 106 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: the teams are in good situations big picture, you know, 107 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: kind of like we were just talking about. I have 108 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: some real questions about all those teams, and last night 109 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: didn't make me feel any better about any awful, really 110 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: awful game to watch at twenty five. Or the Falcons, 111 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: I don't know, they're better than Saints. Maybe they do 112 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: one thing well. They do something well even though they 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: didn't try to do it in the whole the entire 114 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: first half against the Steelers. And we were talking about this, 115 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: just to rewind to the Saints, we were talking about 116 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: this before we went on the air. How is Kamara 117 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: not the feature? I mean it should be Kamara and 118 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: the Lava should get almost all the touches, you know 119 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: what I mean. And he had like twelve rushes or 120 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: something rushes and two catches. Yeah, that's just coaching my practice, right, 121 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's the only thing you got going 122 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: for you. So the Falcons are at twenty five, at 123 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: five and eight all right, at twenty four, down a 124 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: spot the Jaguars. Yeah, that was a disappointing game. That 125 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: one was bad that they'd be really competitive with the Lions, 126 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: and they weren't. They got blown out the bad Yeah, 127 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: the Lins are gonna be moving up. It's twenty three, 128 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: down a spot the Cardinals. That's too nice to them. 129 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're better than the Colts. I they're 130 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 1: pretty bad. They're pretty bad. I mean they're the advanced 131 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: stuff does not do them any favors. At twenty two, 132 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: up to two whole spots two Steelers. M hmm. We'll 133 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: see what's around them, but I would definitely have them 134 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: above everyone we've mentioned. They've won three out of four 135 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: and the one loss was to the Bengals, who I 136 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: had better in the top five. There are my top 137 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: five they should be. Yeah one holding Steady the Packers. 138 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: She was better Backers. Yeah. I feel that way too. 139 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: I think so Packers defense is trash. Yeah, I mean 140 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: it was fine this week, but that wasn't a test 141 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: at twenty down a spot the Browns. That was the 142 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: team I thought of of immediately, you can think of 143 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: the division. I don't think the Steelers the worst team 144 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: in the division. No, I think the Browns are worse. 145 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: In fact, I get I had the conundrum mel because 146 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: I had Jimmy Garoppolo starting in fantasy football. He gets hurt. 147 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: The only other quarterback of my roster is DeShawn Watson. 148 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: Can I possibly start him against the Bengals this week? 149 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw last week away from what the brown 150 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: showed us. I hear you, boy was but he looked 151 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: that way in the preseason when he played resolutely. I 152 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: mean like all their touchdowns were on returns and stuff 153 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: like that. Right they were losing to Houston easily. If 154 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: you said any kind of offense since then, that'll be 155 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: the slam dunk pick of the week. Cincinnati's gonna blow 156 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: the doors off of these guys. They'll crush from you, uh, 157 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: nineteen down four spots the six and six Patriots. That's fair. Yeah, 158 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: Steelers are Patriots. A conversation from me, I think those 159 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: two teams played right now today. I would pick the Steelers. Yeah, yeah, 160 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: I think they're in a better place offensively that offensive Yeah, 161 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: I sent you the stat last night. The Patriots have 162 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: not scored a red zone touchdown in a month. A month, 163 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: a month, and they're a ball controlled, good defense, good 164 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: specialty a month. And it's not like they're hitting eighty 165 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: yarders left and right. Like if you heard the Chiefs 166 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: didn't do that, you'd be like, man, they still probably 167 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: thirty or because they're getting they're getting thirty yard touchdown past. 168 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: Patriots aren't the one that no. Wow, Yeah, they're in 169 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: a bad place. I don't know if Mat Jones a 170 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: hit either. Yeah, I can't hold it. We kind of 171 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: we talked about this in the preseason. We talked about this, 172 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia is not an offensive coordinator. You've got a 173 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: quarter You've got a second year quarterback with no co 174 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator at all. Yeah. I know people are piling 175 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: on Matt Canada in Pittsburgh, but at least he's run 176 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: offenses before. Right, he was like, yeah, right, he wasn't 177 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: head coach of the Lions in a defensive line coade. 178 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: It's amazing. Uh at eighteen down six spots the Chargers, Yeah, 179 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: they're in a bad place. I think he should be 180 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: very very much on the hot seat. Absolutely. Yeah, they've 181 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: had injuries, and I get that, but they should be 182 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: better than that. I mean, give me that quarterback. You 183 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't be this low with that quarterback. They can't stop 184 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: anybody running the football and they're even remotely Their protection 185 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: is terrible. Their blitz pick up is awful. I mean 186 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: things like that that are correctable. You know, it's seventeen 187 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: up three spots. The Lions. I think that's fair. I 188 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: want them to get in the playoffs. I much outher 189 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: to see them than the Giants. Yeah, they're at least 190 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: a fun young team. And if I were them, I 191 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: know they have two first round picks, I'd think about 192 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: letting golf be my starter. I mean, I don't know 193 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: that I trade up for Bryce Young one shot, though 194 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: it might be your shot to get one because if 195 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: you think, if you think, if you think you're gonna 196 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: be good long term, which they probably would be with golf, 197 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: maybe not good enough, but they'd be okay, right, Yeah, 198 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: you do you want to start that over with a 199 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: new quarterback. I know I don't know this class well enough, 200 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: but I mean it is Levice or stroud Worth the 201 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: fourth pick or whatever, or would you make a ridder 202 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: like move draft a guy in the second round and 203 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: develop them, or you know, I don't know if it's 204 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: quarterback or bust? Is my point? At sixteen up, two 205 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: spots the Buccaneers. No, No, But if the Lions played 206 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers right now, yeah, I would say. I'm not 207 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: fond of the teams we just mentioned. I mean, I 208 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: think the Steelers are favorite over the box. They've already 209 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: beating him. The Patriots favorite over the box, Yeah, it 210 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: might be. I mean, who knows Brady and his limitations 211 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: at this point better than Belichick. Didn't play well last night. 212 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: He's awful, right if the Saints don't screw it up 213 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: and give him another chance. You know, here's the thing 214 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: about that, and this bothers me, and it's so last year, 215 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: all we heard was that Ben Roethlisberger was done, He's shot, 216 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: he can't do anything terrible. Should just you know, retire 217 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: mid season. They should replace him with Mason Rudolph, They 218 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: should do whatever. Seven fourth quarter comebacks last year, last 219 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: year at Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady does it last night 220 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: and all Brady magic. If Anger would get the first down, 221 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: or not run out of bounds, you know, I mean, hey, 222 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: Brady's an icon. I get that. I mean I get 223 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: it too. I mean that must even compare them the 224 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: bat him, he's an icon. But and it was nice 225 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: to see. Hey, if you're gonna get a gift, he's 226 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: gonna make you pay. But he's not that guy. He's 227 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: this season remarkably better than what Ben did last year. 228 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: Not really, you look at the overall numbers. Okay, he 229 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: hasn't thrown the interceptions, but the rest of it and totality, 230 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: he's not that hard to play against, you know, Like, 231 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: and he he deserves every benefit the doubt, but a 232 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: lot of people making excuses for him. He doesn't have 233 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: gronk anymore. They've had to go through three left guards. 234 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: Oh my god, well geez, real world problems. Right, he's 235 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: gonna throw to Godwin in Evans every time. Poor guy. 236 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: They went out and signed like seventeen veteran wide receivers 237 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: from the throw to right he's got like his supporting 238 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: cast is terrible. Yeah whatever, at fifteen up two spots 239 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: the Raiders. I think that's granted. I give him credit 240 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: for turning that thing around. And they finished thought last 241 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: year they get the ball to Adams and Jacobs and 242 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: our conversation about the Saints. You have two good guys, 243 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: get them ball. What did the Raiders do? That's all 244 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: they do. It's all they do. I mean, and I'm 245 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: not impressed with their defense, and I'm not even sure 246 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: that they're better than Steelers. Don't get me wrong, but 247 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: that whole neighborhood is foggy. Yeah, at fourteen, up two 248 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: spots the Giants. I don't think so. They stink. Yeah, 249 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: I think they're closer to twenty was have they won 250 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: a game in the last month, tied one and they 251 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: were off the week before that. I think, Yeah, it's 252 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: just like this is more. Hey, oh we really thought 253 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Washington turned the corner here and they tied Washington. So yeah, man, 254 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: they have a good record and all that stuff, but 255 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: they're not good above average football team. No, No, they're 256 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna get destroyed by the Eagles. They haven't played They've 257 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: only they haven't played Eagles yet this year. They're another 258 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: one of those teams that plays, you know, two division, 259 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean, don't get crushed. They're gonna get 260 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: destroyed in that game. At thirteen is Washington I would 261 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: have Washington over the Giants clearly, even though they tied. 262 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're a good football team, though 263 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: I think they're playing. They're playing fine team and a 264 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: little bit over expect most years. They're like eighteen nineteen somewhere. 265 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: They better than New England, New England. Tampa really such 266 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: a message. It's really bad. We even mentioned the team 267 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: that just fired their GM. Right, it's twelve up two 268 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: spots the Seahawks. Okay, see, I did a top ten 269 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: today and my just missed were Seattle in Tennessee. But 270 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: I thought those two were a distant just man, I 271 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: mean it's not there's there's really the halves and the 272 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: have nots. This year. The way I phrased it, and 273 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: we'll get to it is I thought there's five Tier 274 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: one teams and they were really hard to rank, and 275 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: then there was five Tier two teams, and then I 276 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: just missed for Seattle, fifteen teams and then yeah, based 277 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: on who they played and when they played them, yeah 278 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: or hot for two weeks and then not hopefully Steers 279 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: aren't that team. Yeah this Tennessee. Next at eleven are 280 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Had the Ravens at ten, so I mean, 281 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: and I did it without Lamar as Corona constructed, they 282 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: were ten. I was just lower on Tennessee because Tennessee 283 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: just got destroyed and every time they play a good 284 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: team they get killed, you know. I mean, I think 285 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens would play the Eagles better than the Titans 286 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: did at ten or the Jets. I was a little 287 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: higher on them. I think they were nine for me. 288 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that he likes Tennessee more than me. Obviously, 289 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: they had the same issues. It's young quarterback problems. They 290 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: got to the Minnesota inside to Minnesota twenty six times 291 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: in that game the other day. Oh right, right right, 292 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: moved the wall, Mike White moving the ball all over 293 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: the place out in the middle of the field. And 294 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: then as soon as you get in the red zone 295 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: there one for six and the red and you lose, 296 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: you lose. And they came back strong and heart and 297 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: good defense and all those good things, you know, But yeah, 298 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: you gotta score points at nine holding steady. The Titans 299 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: think bang them at all for getting crushed in that game. Yeah, 300 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't think they're very talented. They just 301 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: fired their GM today. I mean, like it's a little 302 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: of them. Now two days after A. J. Brown tears 303 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: you maybe that had something they got a lot we're 304 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: talking about on my podcast today and my co host remember, 305 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: he's like, remember how unhappy Rabel was on draft Day 306 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: when that A J. Brown stuff? Really not thrilled And 307 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: it couldn't have been real thrilled Sunday watching him tear 308 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: him up. You know that may have been behind the doors, 309 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: closed doors. Yeah, look, I'm not sure drafting. I wanted 310 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: to keep the guy and he had to get rid 311 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: of it, right, and then we just get whipped by him. 312 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: And I don't think Traylon Burks is going to be 313 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: the next Justin Jefferson. For the Stefon Diggs trade, Barks 314 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: is fine, but oh by the way, drafting Farley and Wilson, 315 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: the tackle from Georgia not a good look. And they 316 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: had massive, massive red flags and they can't even the 317 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: field for you, and Wilson's in the league. Yeah they were. 318 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: They were eleven for me or twelve. I think those 319 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: last two teams are better when that long ago John 320 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: Robinson was the oh yeah, right, right right, that's how 321 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: quickly that can change, Uh, at eight down, two spots 322 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: or the Dolphins. That's try Adam. Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm 323 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: not a great I'm not a great. Look some of 324 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: that's two others not looking good against a good defense, right, 325 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: big thing there was a problem with them is they 326 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: do so many crossers and stuff. The Seels did a 327 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: good job against that too, But Warner, with his length 328 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: and coverage ability, is like the last guy they want 329 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: to face. And then their tackles are out and both 330 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: says three sacks, I mean brutal. Yeah, at seven down 331 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: four spots are those forty niners? I assume that's because 332 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy g is now out for the year. I had 333 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: them at six, so I'm trying to think who had 334 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: in between. We'll get to them obviously, But yeah, I 335 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: did not have them as a Tier one team. I 336 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: had five of them. I don't. I don't think they 337 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: can win the super Bowl now, No, no rookie quarterback 338 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: has ever won the Super Bowl, let alone the last 339 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. And when here's the thing, when 340 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: when that happened? When parties in the game, He's Mr 341 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: irrelevant in this year's draft. The people who were killing 342 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers for taking a chance, oh right on, con right, right, like, 343 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: that's why you do that. Yeah, they had just drafted 344 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback in the first round last year. Right, it's 345 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: really not much doffer. They had Jimmy g Now at 346 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: the time, they didn't know they weren't gonna be able 347 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: to trade him. They had to have a pretty good 348 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: feeling that nobody's gonna trade for him coming off a 349 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: knee injury. Of course. Yeah again, seventh round, crap shoot 350 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: on a quarterback that might be a late time. That's 351 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: the same reason why everyone's all excited about people people saying, 352 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: why in the world with the Steelers keep ma some 353 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: Rutolf around this year? This is why look at the 354 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: Rams we're talking about Baker Mayfield. This is why Josh 355 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: Johnson is why that guy has played for thirty eight 356 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: teams and there's only thirty two in the league and 357 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: he just got scooped up off the practice squad again again, 358 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, right, And he's why. That is why you 359 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: keep three quarterbacks around so you don't have to start 360 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: bruck pretty Yeah, Stretch, I think he I think people 361 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: think he's a little more purty than he is. I 362 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: think I think once the once the tape is out there, Yeah, 363 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: it's a lot different to get thrown to the game, 364 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: and no one's ever seen to do right, you know. 365 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: Right now, He's got great weapons, and they'll run the football, 366 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: which will help, and they got a great defense. They'll 367 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: be the twenty nineteen Steelers, and they'll win some games 368 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: here down the stretch and and maybe they hold on 369 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: and win that division. Yeah, but they're not even in 370 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: a playoff game. They're not. I don't they're not a contender. 371 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: I thought they were contender. I thought there were six contenders. 372 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: They're not beating the Eagles. No, they're not beating the Cowboys. 373 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: They might not even beat the Vikings. Quarterback the Vikings 374 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: of the team that's probably next. I had the Niners 375 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: ahead of the Vikings. The Vikings are next to six. Yes, 376 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: you had the Vikings. They just keep winning. They do 377 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: keep winning, and I respect them. I just don't think 378 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: there's good as a record. But I think I mean 379 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: calling them seven. It wasn't exactly brutal. No, No, I 380 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: had the Niners out of him. But I think these 381 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: top five are clear, and I had a really tough 382 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: time putting them in order. He's got Kansas City at five. 383 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: I had Dallas at five, okay, and I flat out 384 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: said that sounds unbelievably disrespectful to Dallas. I mean they 385 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: went to Minnesota and killed them, right. I mean they're 386 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: a really good team. I just didn't know to put five. 387 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: I think all five of these teams are really close. 388 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: At four, he has the Bills. Okay. I had the 389 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: Bills at three. At three are the Bengals. I had 390 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: the Bengals at four, which, of course Bengals fans, didn't 391 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: you watch the game they beat the Chiefs. How can 392 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: you have the Chiefs out of the Bengals. Well, because 393 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: my homes and readers three and I get carried, it 394 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they win every time. I have great respect 395 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: for the Bengals. They doesn't mean they're gonna head the 396 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo and beat the Bills, and they might. You know. Two, 397 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: he has the Cowboys. I get it now. He had 398 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: them at four last week. So there's nowhere to go 399 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: but up after you destroy a team within thirty point 400 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarters, and they're really high in all categories and 401 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: they do everything well. And then number one is the Eagles. 402 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: That's who I had one too. I had Eagles Ksey 403 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo reluctantly see Dallas. But I think all five of 404 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: those teams are really really good. Yeah, and the difference 405 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: between one and five isn't much really really good or 406 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: two good. Yeah, Like these are not transcendent, oh, dynasty 407 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: like teams. This isn't Welker and Moss, you know, going 408 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: undefeated type teams. No. But I do think the Eagles 409 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: We're kind of my easiest spot because they can play 410 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: Green Bay and run them down, run down their throat, 411 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: or they can play Tennessee and kill their corners, you know, 412 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: like they just have fewer weaknesses and their run defense 413 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: is really firm enough now too. It's gonna be interesting. 414 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: I think they play the Cowboys here in a couple 415 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: of weeks um. Other than that, they're not going to 416 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: be tested a whole lot. No, No, they're not. Until 417 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: is that they have to be in the same division 418 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: with these guys now they had to, Yeah, right, because 419 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna be. But they'll go to Tampa even if 420 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: they even if Dallas beats Philadelphia in the rematch, they 421 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: still need the Eagles to stumble somewhere else too. I 422 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: don't know what can well, they can within the division, 423 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: but it's I'm football side and then Dallas will go 424 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: play Tampa in the first and crushed them in right, 425 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: But they're gonna be in the road all playoffs, right, 426 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, even though they're the second best team in 427 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: the NFC. Well, I've seen that happen before. I lived that, 428 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: and it is possible. So yeah, that's the that's the 429 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: power rankings for Dan hands. I don't have a huge 430 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: problem with a lot. I would have the Steelers a 431 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: little higher. I get it that they're not. I don't 432 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: envy them. I mean, really, twelve through two it's pretty brutal. 433 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: Maybe ten through might be ten through two, they might be. Yeah, 434 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of parody. Yeah, I mean, 435 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: do you you know, let's say the Steelers happened to 436 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: beat the Ravens this week. Are they getting a big 437 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: bump up? Are they gonna go to eleven? Yeah? Maybe 438 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: went three in a row and today's NFL Today accomplishment. 439 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean to keep bumping the Raiders up. Yeah, if 440 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: the Raiders Washington keeps getting bumped up four and a 441 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: half in a row, who's the Raiders beating in their 442 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: little three game winning streak here? Just beat the Chargers? 443 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: Who problems? Right? And that was a very equal game. Um, 444 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: let me see here. So their wins have come over. 445 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: They lost the Colts, remember Saturday's first game. And they've 446 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: beaten the Broncos, the Seahawks, and Chargers. They're all teams 447 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: in that land. Yeah you know, okay, they're three. Okay. 448 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: People were complaining about the Steelers wins this year. Well, 449 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: they haven't beat anybody, but they did. They did beat 450 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: the Bengals, They beat Tampa Bay, which, whether you like 451 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: it or not, is they're they're gonna go to it there. 452 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: They're gonna be a playoff team. Yeah, they've gotten outclassed 453 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: by Buffalo in Philadelphia, but most teams do, as we 454 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: just saw with the Titans. And I do think this 455 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: version of Steeler is better than that version of the Steelers. Yeah, 456 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: I do as I agree as well. Um, but yeah, 457 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: that's interesting. We're gonna take another break.
