1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back,

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lilly here with Matt Williamson. It is time

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: for the Power ranking. Look here today we look course

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: as we do every Tuesday, we'll take a look at

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Dan Hansis's power rankings on NFL dot Com. And I

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: would not want to do this more so than the

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: other week. We say that every week. Though this is

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: the worst one. It's definitely the worst one. This is

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: the worst one three weeks stretcher, so where it's like whoa,

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean want it starts the top of the bottom

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: because we know what the bottom looks like. Okay, all right,

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: so the Texans are still last. Okay, I mean alliance

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: can't be now, so yeah, that makes it even more clear.

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: The Jets are now thirty one. The Mike White train,

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: by the way, smashed. It didn't stop the station and

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: went off the tracks and into the river and gone

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: forget about it. So Wilson's gonna be starting this week.

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: By the way, they have two good winds though two

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: good wins. This this's just the show goes to show

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: what the league is this year. There are two wins

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: have come over to good teams that we're not gonna

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: mention for a while, right, right, right, I guess they'd

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: be thirty one though, Yeah, I mean when they lose,

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: they lose, they embellish it. The Lions bump up a

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: spot to thirty Okay, I mean watching them play this

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: past weekend, I wouldn't say, Wow, they're really turning the corner.

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: But they did something good this week right, um bat

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: as much as they did against the Ravens. You know, physical, Yeah, there,

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: they will get after you. They'll have good lines of

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: scrimmage before and long. By the way side, note, I

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: don't nobody wants to hear this around here, and nobody

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: ever gives the opponent credit. Detroit's offensive line is pretty good. Yeah,

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: and they played very well. You know once in while

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: the opponent can get a pad on the back around here. Yeah,

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: that never happened. Down two spots to twenty nine are

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: the two and seven Jaguars. Yeah. A couple of these

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: teams don't necessarily show it with their record, but some

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: of these young coach quarterback combinations I think are starting

40
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to figure things out. Like the Eagles are a good example.

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: You know they're okay, this is what it takes to

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: win in this league. I mean, so, I think it's

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: a pivotal point for some of those teams, and the

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Jags are playing more respectably. They're not winning a lot

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: of games, but I think they're showing life up a

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: spot only one spot. This week the Miami Dolphins, see,

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: I think they've turned the corner. I'm gonna bump them

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: up a little bit more based on what they did

49
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: against Like if you're gonna give Baltimore the kind of

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: respect that Hans has has given Baltimore, right, you have

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: to look at that game. I know it was a

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night, Like you bumped the Lions up a spot

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: for tying the Steelers. You had this who he had

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: like I think sixteen last week somewhere in that race Steelers,

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: right you. Ravens is a top ten team in Miami hands.

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: They didn't just win that game, they handled them right.

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: Say what you want about to it. I mean, he's

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: not the Marino, probably that, but they're three wins now.

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 1: They've beaten the Ravens. They also beat the Patriots absolutely,

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: and I think things are coming into clarity there too.

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: They're a well coached team, they have some weapons. Um,

62
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: some of the guys are getting healthier too, was an

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying he's the answer,

64
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: but he's he's good. I mean, he's he's not bad.

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: The defense can cause problems. I would have them higher

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: to I know, Washington just one giants who are kind

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: of out of sight. But I think Miami is probably

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: better than those types of let's see where we put

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: it down seven spots. The Atlanta Falcons they're bad now,

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: I believe they're bad. I mean, now the Cordurell Patterson's out,

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, like if the Dolphins played the Falcons right now,

72
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Dolphins. Oh yeah, I mean I think

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: New England's gonna squash them on Thursday. Matt Ryan's playing fine.

74
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, there's highlights on it right now, and it's

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: digs and Latin more and all these top corners are

76
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: on pits. They're just treating them like a wide receiver.

77
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna go so far with hundred seventeen

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: yards hundred seventeen yards losing the whole time? Yeah, are

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: you gonna go so far with the zakkis Is of

80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: the World or whatever his name is. You know they're

81
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: short on talent. Uh at twenty six, up two spots, Washington,

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: big win, big win, biggin. You know, do you have

83
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: to bump them up higher? They beat the They beat

84
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions convincingly and put them away.

85
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: They ran the ball well, their defense was strong. It's

86
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: not like they kicked the last second field goal to

87
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: win this and we're trailing the whole game. The entire

88
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: way they gave Brady problems. Now you could look at

89
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: that and say, well, yeah, but they now have no

90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: sweat and no young. I agreed to the defensive ends.

91
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Are you know a problem? I don't know. I think

92
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: I'd have them higher though. It's a big injury though

93
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: too for Chase Young having it this late in the season,

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Like is he gonna be ready for the starting next year?

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: What would you put Washington versus Miami? That's an argument.

96
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: It's an argument a team like the Giants didn't do

97
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: anything wrong. I mean, Miami's healthier, Miami's healthier. Yeah, I'd

98
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: give them the quarterback edge. How about this one? Down

99
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: two spots they were on by this week, Chicago Bears.

100
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: What did they do wrong? That's not how power ranks work.

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: That always bothers me, Like, how could you move them

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: down after they win? I mean, like you're still gonna

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: put them in order. I get it, I get it,

104
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: but especially because the NFL is so tumultuous right now,

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I think being on a by could hurt your power,

106
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: can help you, or it can be like the one

107
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: you sent around and did nothing and moved up. We'll

108
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: see that later in here, like guarantee of the Bengals

109
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: have moved up a bunch of spots and they done. Chicago.

110
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that bad though? No, I don't think they're either. No.

111
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think the arrow is going up with

112
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: that team. But this way, would you have them righted

113
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: the head of the team's number twenty four? The Giants? Yeah,

114
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: they were on by two, right, they run by two?

115
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: They moved down to spots. I get that because the

116
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Washingtons of the world I know are below them did well.

117
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: We haven't mentioned Seattle. Seattle is bad. You just get offered,

118
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, disrespect, because we won a lot of games

119
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Wilson's back, like, you

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: can't move them up they play. They played with garbage.

121
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: Their offense was as bad as the Lion, Steelers, Falcons,

122
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: whoever you want to point to this past week, down

123
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: six spots at three the Denver Broncos. I think that's

124
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: fair they move. They made that big jump last week

125
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: because they beat the Cowboys. Now they go back down

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: again because they lose the Eagles. They were they were

127
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: down three offensive linemen. I was picking now, and I'm like,

128
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's gonna win that game. Read defensive line or three

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: offensive lineman against that defensive front and we'll get the Eagles.

130
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: But Eagles have a no line too. They're finally running.

131
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: By the way, I traded for Miles Sanders today, you slick,

132
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the move. Um. Denver is a tough one,

133
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're in the playoff race at all.

134
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if I told you you're putting a buck down,

135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: who's gonna lose the West, I think they're the easy

136
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: answer last place. Same thing maybe with Seattle, who's at two.

137
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: They could figure things out. But if we're talking about

138
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: how good they are right now, they're not good. They're

139
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: three and six right now. They can probably finish around

140
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: eight and nine, nine, and eight. If things go if

141
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: things go really well, but I don't I'll take the

142
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: under on that. I don't know that that will still

143
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: be last place in that division. Wilson probably should have

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: played last week. Uh at one up five spots the

145
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: four and six Eagles. Yeah, I think that's fair. I

146
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: don't think they're in the next tier. But they're getting better.

147
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: They're finding out how they can win. Hurts hasn't hurt them,

148
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: and he's playing better, But I don't know that he's

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: ever gonna be good running the ball now and so much. Hey, Jalen,

150
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: go out there and throw thirty five passes and run

151
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: the ball fifteen times. Yeah right, I mean even if

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: it's offense. I am interested to see when Sanders comes back,

153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: because he's better than Jordan Howard and you know, the

154
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: guy they've been used. They give him the ball times

155
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: a game. Okay, a little bit more results. Yeah. Uh

156
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: at twenty down five spots the Raiders. They're in a

157
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 1: bad spot. Yeah. Their defense is bad. It's it's turning

158
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: south on them. I'm not sure the Raiders are much

159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: better than it's their typical autumn swoon. They don't come

160
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: in like a like a on them wind anymore, the

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: autom wind blows them away. Two pretty rough losses in

162
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: a row, and I mean they've had a very tough year.

163
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm a polling on the Raiders, but I think they're

164
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: in a bad spot. At nineteen up, six spots the

165
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, Yeah, I think that's very justified. I think

166
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: they're going to playoffs really good d Yeah, that's a

167
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: big way. Kim Newton at least knows how to work

168
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: that off It's a different offense, but he knows that

169
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: the skill players. You know, he's gonna get the ballto McCaffrey.

170
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: He knows. I heard some people talking in the know

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: that just kind of talked about Kim's considered a great

172
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: leader and just as a spark plug and an energy giver,

173
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: and that in itself, I think brings something. And I

174
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: promise you he plays better than the second half of

175
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: the season than first half. Carolina quarterbacks. Yeah, I mean

176
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. I don't think he's gonna be great,

177
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be better. At eighteen down four spots

178
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I understand that I might have Carolina over

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I don't know. If I could go there,

180
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: there's a team or two we haven't mentioned that I

181
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: would have below stealers. But I'm impressed with Carolina. Um,

182
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: it's it's seventeen up seven spots. The biggest risers of

183
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: the week, San Francisco forty Niners. Now I'm not ready

184
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: to go there yet. I'm not either. Boy. Your boy

185
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: Debot is really impressive. And Kittle's healthy. He's a star.

186
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: He's a star. Yeah, he's a star. Um. I just

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: saw it today or just on the way to go

188
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: to coffee a minute ago. Elijah Mitchell was a broken finger.

189
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: He's out a while. I mean, they just were just

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: what happens with them. Here's the thing with it was

191
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: a division game. You know those those are different than

192
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: than a nonconference game. They know that. You know their

193
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: entire offseason was spent. I guarantee you. How do we

194
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: beat the Rams? Right? Boy? They got Stafford? How we

195
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: adjusted that? How do we attack the Rams? I thought

196
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: the Rams are very unimpressive. I mean, the Diners played

197
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: their best game, but I would hurt the Rams after that,

198
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: maybe more than I would boost up the Niners. I

199
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: still think the Niners and Panthers have a real shot

200
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: at the postseason though, Well, yeah, because one of them

201
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: is probably gonna go, maybe both both. I don't know

202
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: if both stikes, I don't. I think there's like four

203
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: teams fighting for two spots. Yeah, it's sixteen actually holding steady,

204
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: so they didn't move. Are the Bengals? See, I would

205
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: have the Bengals lower. I would put the Steelers over

206
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals. That's who I was thinking about a little

207
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: bit ago. I have Caroline over the bank. Mean, everybody

208
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: forgets it before there by they were struggling big time. Yeah,

209
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm curious what they look like after the body.

210
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: But they were not in a good place one week

211
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: ago at fifteen, up three spots the Colts. I guess

212
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: that's fair. I still think the offense is inconsistent, not

213
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: bumping you up that because you beat the Jets and

214
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Come on, you beat the Jets and the Jaguars.

215
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: That's what you're supposed to do. Where were they last week?

216
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: They were at eighteen? They where the Steelers are at now? Yeah,

217
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: I would put the Steelers over the Colts. I think

218
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: if they played right now, it would be it might

219
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: go five five. Maybe the Steelers win six, six out

220
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: of same tier. Yeah, they're in the same tier. I

221
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: don't know that the Colts are. Oh boy, they're they've

222
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: they've got they've righted the ship. They beat two teams

223
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: that they should beat. I understand the Steelers didn't. I

224
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: didn't have the quarterback. Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.

225
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Two teams come to mind. Is the most average in

226
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: the league, not good, not bad? Is the Vikes and

227
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: the Colts. I mean, so having them at what seventeen,

228
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm fine with, but there's some teams below them. I

229
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: would have above them at fourteen. Speaking of which, up

230
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: seven spots, the Vikings seven spots. I don't know that

231
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: that's seven. That's that's that's that's time for the biggest

232
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: jump this week based off of one the one time

233
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: that they actually won a close game. How many do

234
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: they how many have they lost? Like, I don't think

235
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: they're a quality opponent or you know, a contender. But

236
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: the last five teams you mentioned, I don't know, we're better. Yeah,

237
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: they're just week to week, very week to week. I'm

238
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: not gonna go crazy without jumping these teams up, because

239
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: if you do that, then these teams in the top ten.

240
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: You better have made some big adjustments with the ones

241
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: that lost. Yeah, but somebody needs to go. But you

242
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: gotta build yeah yeah, and the teams that he's mentioned

243
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: before behind them. I don't know we're better at thirteen

244
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: because there's a couple of teams that are gonna stop

245
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: thirteen that I don't think are particularly good at thirteen.

246
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: At five and four holding steady the Saints, I was

247
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: gonna say that Saints are not right either. They should

248
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: have beaten the Titans. They you want to talk about

249
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: a team that's walking the tight rope, oh man, I

250
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: mean the guys that are touching the football for them

251
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: are no names. They really were not the better team.

252
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: They benefited from a Yeah, that one directly led to

253
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: them winning the game. That should be Like you can

254
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: talk about the Steelers penalty with the Bears the previous week.

255
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean the Bears would have won that football

256
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: game that they were still swing. There were still time left,

257
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: plenty of time left in that game. This one was

258
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: an interception in the end in the final two minutes

259
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: of the game right for people don't know, there was

260
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: a rough in the pass recall that was very suspect.

261
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: It really should be the poster child for reviewing roughing

262
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: the pass recalls because that was a game clinching type

263
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: decided the football game. Yeah, it decided, straight up decided.

264
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: So I know someone's gonna be high on this list,

265
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: and Tennessee I'm sure will be. But I can't raise

266
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: them or maybe compared to their peers because bad teams lost,

267
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: but a good teams lost, but their stock didn't go up.

268
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: For me. This for me, they're finding ways. They're the

269
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Steelers from last year. They're finding ways to win games.

270
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: And you look at me, go, yeah, that's probably gonna

271
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: catch up to it. Probably right at twelve down, just

272
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: two spots. The Cleveland Browns, I'm sorry, they should be

273
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: maybe at eighteen or nineteen. Yeah, they don't have pass

274
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: the game. They have no passing game. Mayfield's hurt. What's there? Yeah,

275
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna get shoved back this week. Okay, great. Yeah,

276
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: they've some defensive injuries now too, though I think Troy

277
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: Hills out for a long time. I think they're in

278
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: a bad spot. I think they are too. They haven't

279
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: played well and I think they finished last in the

280
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: in the a f C North. This year. I do too.

281
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't feel super strong about it because I don't

282
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: know who's good and who's bad in the division. But

283
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: I think if I had to pick someone, that would

284
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: be fourth. They're gonna deal with this Mayfield thing the

285
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: rest of the season. It's going to be a shoulder,

286
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: it's a knee, it's a foot, it's you know. Yeah,

287
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: and the Patriots destroy them, and he looked really bad.

288
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: He looked awful. I'm not saying they should have kept O'Dell,

289
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: but they don't have a number one receiver and it shows.

290
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: They gave up touchdown drives against the Patriots of two

291
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: and eighty three yards. They earned that loss. That wasn't

292
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: just oh way, you know they threw. They threw three

293
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. They a bunch of

294
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: yards a team that's not a great offense. Their offensive

295
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: line got pushed around. It's funny. I was listening to

296
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: a podcast to some some nerdy type film guys on

297
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: my way here, and they were what New England did

298
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: to them was all. It was almost like Hampton, Aaron Smith,

299
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Key Sol. They played old school three four with a

300
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: nose straight up and they have to levon Kirkland like

301
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: linebackers that just bang guards around, and I mean they

302
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: just pushed them around, because who do you fear, because

303
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: they had no fear in the past. The game exactly it,

304
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: you know. And Mayfield they had all these big bodies.

305
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean their front seven is big and England Mayfield

306
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: can't see, you know what I mean, and there's nobody

307
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: getting open. They like they didn't honor the passing game

308
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: at all. And not every team has that type of

309
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: front seven, but no one's gonna be afraid they're passing game.

310
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Right With chobbed back, it changes things a little bit

311
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: without questions. But still, I mean, that was a bad,

312
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: bad performance at eleven down two spots. Mind you, they've

313
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: lost three of their last four games. The Chargers and Chargers,

314
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know where I put them, but there's a

315
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of team that teams that apply to I put

316
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: them over the Browns. Yeah, yeah, I meant the over Viking.

317
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: You could almost take like you could go from like

318
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: twenty up and just randomly pull out of the hat.

319
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: I know who the bad we know who the bad

320
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: teams are, the really bad ones, and then the top

321
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty it's like, okay, I still think there's five good

322
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: ones though, but they all'll take in turns of losing

323
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: each week, and the Chargers aren't one of them. I

324
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: don't think they are either. At ten down four spots,

325
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: this will come up a lot this week. I don't

326
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: think that's a bad time to play the Chargers. Maybe

327
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: other than some of the injuries that you know, I

328
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: just mean who the Chargers are correct at ten down

329
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: four spots, the Baltimore Ravens. I think that's earned. Yeah.

330
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: I think this is where this is where they probably

331
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: should have been all season long. They were winning, they

332
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: were they were the again, winning some games that they

333
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have won. Now there's an art to that,

334
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: without question much again, much like the Steelers last year,

335
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: much like the Titans this year, you win some of

336
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: those close games, and they're built to do that. They

337
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: have a great kicker. Get with it, you know, get

338
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: to the forty and you're gonna have a chance to

339
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, win that question. But they're not a good

340
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: football They're not a great football team right now. They're

341
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: a good football team, but not a great one. I

342
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: agree with all that. I agree with that their defense

343
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: is not where it usually is that's the thing is.

344
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it you're missing Marcus Peters, but

345
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: you're just missing Marcus Peters. Yeah, he's not. It's not like,

346
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: oh man, they're missing Rod Woodson or Dion Sanders in

347
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: his time and Reggie White. Yeah right, you're missing Marcus Peters.

348
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: Get over. I don't even love Marcus Peters. No, no,

349
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: he has he's all or nothing. That anthony of Rhett

350
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: is he's stinking Yeah, he's waldo. Um. I guess that's

351
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: about where I put Baltimore, though. They would be still

352
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: my top AFC North team and an exercise like this, yeah,

353
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're contender though, At nine down

354
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: two spots the Los Angeles Rams, I think that's deserved.

355
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of hype about O'Dell

356
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: and Miller and it's hard to put new pieces in

357
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: right away. And Odell could, you know, only play a

358
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: handful of snaps. Plus both those guys are coming off injury.

359
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: The thing that showed that I saw though from the

360
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: Rams last two games. They're not very physically and mentally tough.

361
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: They get pushed around, they're a little bit too finesse

362
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: and zone Runney and Henderson's your back, and he's not

363
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna bully anybody. And they might be better switching to

364
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle and letting him a little bit, right, I mean,

365
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: just bring some more physical The Niners took it to

366
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: him and pushed them around the other thing about them

367
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: and uh, Matthew Stafford, as talented as he is, still

368
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: makes mistakes like he's playing with the Detroit Lions. Oh

369
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: he's always going to be a gun slinger, you know,

370
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: right right? I mean, I don't know they're they're just

371
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: he could. They would call it the Odell pick. The

372
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: first one last night, I bet was probably on Odell,

373
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: but Stafford could had two or three more. You know,

374
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: you know that we're risky. Don't make that type of throw,

375
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, um at eight up three spots the New

376
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: England Patriots, that's where i'd be on him. I don't

377
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: know that they're suing. They're not a Super Bowl contender.

378
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they are either, but they're playing really well,

379
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: and all those teams we just mentioned aren't. I don't

380
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: know if I could put him ahead of the Rams,

381
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: like if they play a a numb a week ago,

382
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: but they play a ten games series with the Rams.

383
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: First of all, if it's in New England, the Rams

384
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: are gonna win them all because they can't win at home.

385
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Rams are a good team, and

386
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: this is the problem with doing this right. Yeah, I

387
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: mean I think you have to ding the Rams for

388
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: the last two losses. Rams verse Patriots is a conversation though.

389
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: At seven up five spots. The Kansas City Chiefs, Yeah,

390
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: they still have the same worts that they had before though,

391
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not especially defensively. The Raiders defense did them

392
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: a lot of favors in that game. I mean, I

393
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: think I mentioned this yesterday. Everyone in the world's playing

394
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: a two high shell or cover four against them. No,

395
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: we do what we do. We're gonna play our cover

396
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: three and yeah, you know, I'm like, well that didn't work, right,

397
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not their only problem. But my homes

398
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: played very, very well. He did, There's no doubt about it.

399
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: The people who are saying that Melvin Ingram is making

400
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot of impact plays for the Chiefs defense, not really.

401
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: He has two tackles and sixty snaps. He's wearing number

402
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: like twenty four to yeah something, two tackles and sixty

403
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: snaps is not a big impact. No, I'm sorry. At

404
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: six down four spots, Tampa Bay, I said, you still

405
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: have to honor them there didn't play well now six

406
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: and three. Yeah, you wouldn't see teams that are six

407
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: and three, six and four like the Chiefs and anywhere

408
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: near the top ten in previous No, not near the

409
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: top five like this either. Here's a side note. We

410
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: had a good conversation big picture last segment about home

411
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: verse road teams and underdogs. I don't know, the bye

412
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: week is a benefit now they they get out of

413
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: their routine, especially a team. Here's the thing, you can't

414
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: you can't do anything. You can't do anything because of

415
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: the c b A right, you get they have to

416
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: buy as a negative and they have to be off

417
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: like Thursday through Sunday. Right, You're you're telling his players

418
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: who are in a routine, get away from here, right,

419
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: especially a Brady lead team, Like all you want to

420
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: do is grind, you know, Like, I don't know, coming

421
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: off of bye is in the positive column when you're

422
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: picking games anymore. Yeah, at five up three spots, are

423
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: the Bills fair enough? Yeah? They're d is really good

424
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: at four down three spots are the Arizona Cardinals in

425
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: a rough spot. I'm not worried about the big page.

426
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: The quarterback play on the quarterback right now. Right, they

427
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: got embarrassed, but I'm not worried about them. They're a

428
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: contender at three up two spots the Dallas Cowboys, now

429
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: they just got embarrassed, and the Broncos and then they

430
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: wiped the floor of the Falcons, and they would be

431
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: a top five for me though the non conference games.

432
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: Team struggling in nonconference games is a real thing. It

433
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: is because you don't see that at all. Right, that's

434
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: that's a fair point. That's good. At two up a spot,

435
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. They're not the second best. They're a

436
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: little bit spoken mirror, but you'd have to honor what

437
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: they've done, finding a way to win and all that stuff.

438
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: And now back up to the number one spot, the

439
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers at eight and two. They were just

440
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: there a few weeks ago. They're gonna lose this week

441
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: and move back down again. I don't even know who

442
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: they play, but that's all. They play Minnesota this week.

443
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: That's a good game. They weren't super impressive against. Their

444
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: defense is better than people think they're playing good team defense.

445
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: You don't have any of their stars right now. They're

446
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: playing good team defense, better than it's been, more fundamentally sound.

447
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: They used to be really up and low, up and

448
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: down on defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they'd be

449
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: one for me too, But I wouldn't bet on him

450
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: right now to win Super Bowl. No, right, right, no,

451
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: I hear you. It's this, this whole exercise. It's kind

452
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,080
