You know, we have a pop. 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: There's actually, well it's an unwritten rule kind of in 13 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: sports media, not just Fox or ESPN, but like you 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: can't take vacations in the fall, Like you can't. I mean, 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: it's a great time to travel because the summer crowds 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: are gone, but September through the Super Bowl, I can't. 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: There's like no days off. And I think the smart 18 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 2: move is at the end of August power down, get 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: one last. 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: You know. 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: I saw something online about something called a forest bath 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: where you basically I mean it's essentially hiking but going 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: in the forest and just chilling out. You don't have 24 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: to do it for a night or two days or anything, 25 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: just to walk around and distress and all that fun stuff. 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: So it'll be it'll be a busy, fun week for me, 27 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: and then we'll return the final week of August.

And what's also interesting is that's like the 32 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: final week, the final week of August is leads up 33 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 2: to Ohio State versus Texas and then the following weeknd's 34 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: NFL and then we're off and it's honestly locked in 35 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: for seventeen weeks. 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 4: Plus the playoffs. 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: As my wife likes to remind me, you know, her 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: birthday is during the NFL season, and it's tough for 39 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: your boy to get away at any rate.

I know what sports 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: fans want, but for everything he doesn't. He knows a 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: guy who does. 64 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 5: Let's just say, I know a guy who knows a 65 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 5: guy who knows another guy. 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 3: All right, let's welcome back to straight Fire, one of 67 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: the foremost NFL voices out there. Gambling is his thing, 68 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: building models. His previews are spectacular and must read. 69 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: Warren Sharp, Warren, how you doing. 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: Man, I'm doing great best time of the year to 71 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 5: be talking ball my opinion, because we've got a little 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 5: taste of the preseason. Two more games left to go 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 5: for each of these teams, but we can start talking 74 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 5: about preseason. We have a little bit better at picture 75 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 5: as to how these teams are going to perform. So 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 5: it's a great time to be a football fan. And 77 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 5: I'm certainly happy to have the book writing process in 78 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 5: the rearview mirror and not have to worry about that 79 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 5: right now, because that is an absolute nightmare to put 80 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 5: together each year. But it's a lot of fun when 81 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 5: it's over. 82 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. 83 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: I see it as five hundred and eighty six pages, 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 3: so more And basically you don't get a summer, do you. 85 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 5: I don't know. And the thing is, I have very 86 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 5: high standards for myself when I'm writing this each year, 87 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 5: because I know that a lot of important people read it, 88 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 5: including people in front offices, including people on the analytics 89 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 5: departments of various different teams. Some of them ask me 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 5: for hard copies, some of them just want a complimentary PDF. 91 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 5: So like I'm supplying it to those teams, I every 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 5: year put very high standards on myself to come up 93 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 5: with in sites that most other people aren't already discussing, 94 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 5: or the real reason why I think these teams performed 95 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 5: well or poorly last year and how I think they're 96 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 5: going to do this year. So we start working on 97 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 5: it in late February, and then this year I came 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 5: out with it at the very end of June. So 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 5: it's a lot of work, but it really helps me 100 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 5: get set up for the season and has given me 101 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 5: some success from for like a future's betting perspective as well. 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, I gotta say some of the 103 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: stuff in here, the schedules and the drafts, like these 104 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 3: are breakdowns that are everywhere. So I do want to 105 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: start with a team. They're interesting, the Detroit Lions. So 106 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: you have them as having the third hardest schedule in 107 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: the league. It looks brutal, but there are elements of 108 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: it that are super beneficial. And again, I think the 109 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: larger discussion you know on box, ESPN everywhere is like, oh, 110 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: lines are going to regress, they lost their OC and 111 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,679 Speaker 3: DC period, and that's where a lot of people stop. 112 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: But your depth on their schedule and how yeah, the 113 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 3: schedule is tougher Detroit, But like the Bears, Bengals, Chiefs, Steelers, 114 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 3: and Eagles are playing them on Monday Night the week before, 115 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: so that's a huge edge for the Lions. Do you 116 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: actually think is there a worl where the Lions are 117 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: a little underrated Warren coming into the season. 118 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 5: It really, to me just depends on what we're going 119 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 5: to get and we didn't get the chance to see 120 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 5: it yet from John Morton with these starters, I'm just 121 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 5: so fascinated, Jason by how much play action they're going 122 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 5: to incorporate into the season because it really made a 123 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 5: big difference for the passing attack. Like we know that 124 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 5: they lost a little bit on the offensive line, but 125 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 5: and that's going to impact the wrong game. That could 126 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 5: impact the passing game as well. But the real key 127 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 5: for me is just the strategy, the play calling. How 128 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 5: are they going to execute They're going to be aggressive 129 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 5: on fourth down, which is going to give them an edge, 130 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 5: we already know that, but how are they calling these plays? 131 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 5: How are they sequencing in these plays? With John Morton, 132 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 5: there's been a lot of negativity surrounding the Lions. Obviously 133 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: most of the offseason they were or the Darlings entering 134 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 5: last year. I was on there over last year, a 135 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 5: lot of people were, and they won fifteen games, made 136 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 5: us look like geniuses. But not very many people are 137 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 5: willing to take stabs on there over this year or 138 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 5: really be supportive of the Detroit Lions, even though they're 139 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 5: still a very good team. We just know collectively from 140 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 5: watching this happened to Philadelphia Eagles. When you lose both 141 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 5: coordinators and both sides of the ball have to replace them, 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 5: you're promoting some people, either internally or from outside the 143 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 5: building who aren't like big name guys like John Morton. 144 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 5: I don't know how many teams really we've got to 145 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 5: get John Morton to call offense for us, right, So 146 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 5: I just feel like that is going to be a 147 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 5: big question mark. But for sure you mentioned it on 148 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 5: the schedule side of things, Like if you're looking at 149 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 5: division bets for the NFC North, who's going to win 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 5: that division? Keep in mind that I look at a 151 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 5: statistic called net games with rest edge, so it's you know, 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 5: the Lions have eight, which is the most I've ever 153 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 5: tracked in my database. The Lions play eight games this 154 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 5: year where they have more rest than their opponent. They 155 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 5: only play one game Week four against the Cleveland Browns 156 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 5: where they have less rest than their opponent, so they're 157 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 5: plus seven. They have seven games with a rest edge. 158 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 5: There's not a single other team in the entire North 159 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 5: that has a single game with a rest edge. Net overall, 160 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 5: the Green Bay Packers are at zero vikings minus two, 161 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 5: Bears at minus three, so that is inevitably going to 162 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 5: help the Detroit Lions. Of course, they play the third 163 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 5: toughest overall schedule. That's not going to be easy either, 164 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 5: So to it's interesting because a lot of people are 165 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 5: giving the Packers love. 166 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 4: Now this is before the Jordan Love situation here. 167 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be fine, but you know, the 168 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: injury narrative around him is getting interesting. The Packers seem 169 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: to be getting a lot of Super Bowl love. 170 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: Are you buying that? 171 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 5: By the way, I think the Packers are a really 172 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 5: interesting team because I really liked what their defensive coordinator 173 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 5: did with them last season in his first year in 174 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 5: the building, Jeff Hafley, and I think they're talented on 175 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 5: that side of the ball, and then you look at 176 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 5: the offensive side of the ball. They had the number 177 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 5: one highest drop rate of any team in the NFL 178 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 5: last year in terms of the EPA that was lost. 179 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 5: In terms of players with receiver error, it was the 180 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: worst rate for any quarterback since twenty twenty one. Was 181 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 5: the receiver err that the Green Bay Packers' receivers were 182 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 5: delivering to Jordan Love? And then keep in mind that 183 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 5: Jordan Love was injured for over half the season. Now, 184 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 5: he was a warrior, he played through it. That impacted 185 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 5: his statistics. But when he was healthy and playing within 186 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 5: this offense, especially with Josh Jacobs out there running the football, 187 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 5: this team was extremely good. But the fact of the 188 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 5: matter is Jordan Love played through a lot of injuries 189 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 5: last year. So Jordan Love doesn't get the national recognition 190 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 5: for being a very elite quarterback. And I don't know 191 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 5: that I would consider him to be an elite quarterback, 192 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 5: but I do think he possesses a lot of factors 193 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 5: that are elevators for a football team, and they're going 194 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 5: to help the Green Bay Packers win games. So it's 195 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 5: a matter of like, I think they're definitely making the playoffs, 196 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 5: and at that point in time, it's just what's the 197 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 5: draw that they're going to get. How many games might 198 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: they get at home? Do they have to be the 199 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 5: team that goes to Philadelphia and play the Eagles on 200 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 5: the road in the postseason. Like, there's a lot of 201 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 5: factors that are going to play into that, but I 202 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 5: certainly think they're worth being in the discussion of being 203 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 5: the NFC representative for the Super Bowl. 204 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 4: Every year, people love to pick these underdogs. We know, 205 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 4: the worst to first. 206 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: Story happens every year in the NFL. There's like two 207 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 3: or three or four new playoff teams, maybe more than that. 208 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: If you take both conferences, I'm taking a flyer on 209 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: like Denver winning the division, Atlanta winning the division. In 210 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: reading your preview, it doesn't appear as if you agree 211 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 3: with either of those. 212 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: Well, I actually really like both of those teams. You know, 213 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 5: the Atlanta Falcons, there's in my opinion, a lot to like. 214 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 5: And I was, you know, I work with a lot 215 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 5: of guys behind the scenes, talk to them about some 216 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 5: the bets, work with some of the betting groups, and 217 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 5: I pitched the Atlanta Falcons as a team that I 218 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 5: thought has a higher ceiling than most other people. Obviously, 219 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 5: their win total is only seven and a half. I 220 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 5: don't think that a lot of people realize when they like, 221 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 5: just look at the Falcons and what they did last year, 222 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 5: and this is in the preview that they I think 223 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 5: Zach Robinson did a brilliant job managing that roster and 224 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 5: that offense. You know, he's coming into this thing thinking 225 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 5: that Kirk Cousins might be okay. They don't know when 226 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins is coming back from this Achilles injury. Kirk 227 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 5: Cousins shows up, he can't do anything in the pocket, 228 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: like he remember that Week one game against the Steelers. 229 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 5: The dude is a statue taking every step from shotgun, 230 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 5: not moving get rid of the ball. All of a sudden, 231 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 5: you know, Zach Robinson's like, crap, we have to pivot. 232 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 5: We have to make a bunch of changes here to 233 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 5: the offense that I wanted to utilize because now I'm 234 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 5: dealing with Kirk Cousins. And yet they still performed fine 235 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: last season in my opinion. Obviously, Kirk Cousins threw away 236 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 5: a lot of games late in the fourth quarter with 237 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 5: a bunch of interceptions. You got Michael Pennick Junior. That's 238 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 5: one of the biggest questions on offense, just his downfield accuracy, 239 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 5: his performance under pressure, Like how great of a quarterback, 240 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 5: can he be? The O line, though, is solid, The 241 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 5: receiving court is solid. Obviously we know the tight end 242 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 5: question marks, but the running back corps is solid, So 243 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 5: I have confidence in all those other levels. The biggest 244 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 5: pushback I got on the Falcons was their defense might 245 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 5: be the worst defense in the NFL. Personnel wise, their 246 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 5: defense might be the worst defense in the NFL. If 247 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 5: that ends up not being the defense is viewed as 248 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 5: a very poor defense and they're playing a brutal schedule. 249 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 5: I show them playing the third toughest increase in difficulty 250 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 5: for any defense in terms of the offenses that they're 251 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 5: going to play, of any team in the NFL. They 252 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 5: played the twenty fifth easiest schedule last year to play 253 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 5: the seventh toughest schedule this year. But if you go 254 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: around and like rank the front seven specifically, my staff 255 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 5: ranked the Atlanta Falcons front seven and literally ranked them 256 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 5: dead last in the NFL. So if you disagree with that, 257 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 5: then that obviously boosts the Falcons and should give you 258 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 5: even more confidence because I think their offense is good. 259 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 5: They've got a top seven offensive line, number three best 260 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 5: running back corps, top eleven receiving Corps quarterback is unknown. 261 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 5: If Pennix is fine and you think the defense isn't 262 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: one of the worst in the NFL, absolutely the Falcons 263 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 5: are worth a you know, long shot flyer in terms 264 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 5: of doing something in the postseason, but certainly winning that 265 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 5: NFC South, which I think there's a couple of teams 266 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 5: that could win that. I think that there's one that 267 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 5: certainly will not is the New Orleans Saints. But yeah, yeah, yeah, 268 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 5: Well the Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos a lot. 269 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 5: I like the Broncos a lot. The tough part for them, 270 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 5: of course, their schedule. But we know that Bonnicks exceeded 271 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 5: expectations last year. We know that they've figured out a 272 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 5: way to manage him really well. They had one of 273 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 5: the most underrated offensive lines in the NFL last year. 274 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 5: Javonte Williams made it look a lot worse than it 275 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 5: really was. They've replaced him with RJ. Harvey. I'm not 276 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 5: getting the right vibes in camp though about RJ. Harvey 277 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 5: that I thought I was going to get. So that's 278 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 5: still a question mark. But they did bring in you know, 279 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 5: another running back there that is JK. Dobbins, obviously who 280 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 5: should be able to help in the run game, even 281 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 5: if Harvey takes a little while to come around. But 282 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 5: I'm fine with their receiving corps. Like, I think this 283 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 5: is a really good team and they might have the 284 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 5: best defense in the entire NFL. So I like a 285 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 5: lot about the Denver Broncos, and I'm certainly not selling them. 286 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 5: I'm certainly not taking their under, but they've just gotten, 287 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 5: you know, propped up like the New England Patriots have, 288 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 5: like where it's like, how much upside is there in 289 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 5: these futures because there's already a lot of love for 290 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 5: this team in the current marketplace. 291 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: Interesting. Let me go back to the Falcons real quick. 292 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: So they bring on a new DC and olbricked the 293 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: guy from the Jets, and I thought they kind of 294 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: had a decent offseason. I know people think they overpaid 295 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: in the draft to trade up and get Piers, but 296 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 3: he's flashed in camp. You've got Floyd, who's a new addition. 297 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: I like Jaylon Walker, Jesse Bates, one of the best 298 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: safeties in the league. You got me scared with this defense, man, 299 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: I was gonna hammer the over. I have them potentially 300 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: as like the number one seed in the NFC. Given 301 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: that schedule, is there a world where maybe the Falcons 302 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: win twelve, Eagles pull back and nobody there's no fourteen 303 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: to fifteen win teams like last year. 304 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting when you look at the top six 305 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 5: easiest schedules this year in the NFL, two of them 306 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 5: are from the NFC South, the Falcons and the Saints. 307 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 5: Then you've got the forty nine ers who are just 308 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 5: getting riddled with injuries. And we know that the forty 309 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 5: nine ers, they tend to always be good unless they've 310 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 5: got injuries, and that's the only time when they've struggled. 311 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 5: If but they're already being bitten by the injury bug. 312 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 5: I think you've got the Jags and the Bills and 313 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 5: the Patriots who are over there in the AFC. We 314 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 5: don't have to worry about them for the purpose of 315 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 5: this discussion. The thing that I did like about the 316 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 5: Falcons was that they knew what their weakness was and 317 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 5: addressed it in the draft. Like you mentioned, they go 318 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 5: defense pick one, defense pick two. They moved up defense 319 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 5: pick three with the safety, defense pick four with the safety. 320 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 5: Like all the four of their first round, first four 321 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 5: draft picks, were on the defensive side of the football, 322 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: including two in the first round. They know what their 323 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 5: weakness is, They've made moves to address it. The issue is, 324 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 5: like I think they can definitely battle in that division. 325 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 5: The question is what happens outside of that division with 326 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 5: some of the offenses they're going to play. But here's 327 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 5: the positive you've got. I was just looking at this literally, 328 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 5: I was on a conference call right before we talked 329 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 5: about the possibility of us moving on over seven and 330 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 5: a half and the benefit of playing the La Rams 331 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 5: in week seventy. The talk of the town and this 332 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 5: is out in your backyard, so you might know better 333 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 5: about Matthew Stafford, but is that you know, it's still 334 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 5: a little bit concerning that he's not out there practicing 335 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 5: right now, but the fact that most of these people 336 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 5: think he could start the season, But then how much 337 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 5: time is he going to be there? When's he going 338 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 5: to get knocked out? Well, if you don't play the 339 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 5: Rams until week seventeen, like you might not be getting 340 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford at that point in the season. So that's 341 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 5: a positive for you. And so that's one thing I 342 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 5: think could help the the Falcons a little bit from 343 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 5: a scheduling perspective as well. So I don't mind the 344 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 5: over seven and a half there, but I. 345 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 4: Mean seven and a half feels so low. 346 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm looking. 347 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 4: Well, they do have to face Josh Allen, Jaden Daniels early. 348 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 4: We just don't know what's up with JJ McCarthy in Minnesota. 349 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, we. 350 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 5: Don't know, we don't know. Yeah, we don't know about 351 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy. We don't know about the Indianapolis Colts. Like 352 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 5: who's going to be that quarterback? Which is another team 353 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 5: that the Atlanta Falcons are going to play outside of 354 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 5: their division. Look, Minnesota, I love what they've done with 355 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 5: the offensive line to help shore things up, and certainly 356 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 5: they're going to go through an identity change with a 357 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 5: younger quarterback in there. The thing that I like about 358 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 5: what they're probably going to be doing with the young 359 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 5: quarterback is they've got one of the best play callers 360 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 5: and offensive minds in the NFL in terms of Kevin O'Connell. 361 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 5: The way that he's going to try to make life 362 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 5: easy is going to be very valuable. The key to 363 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 5: them though, as if I'm not mistaken, I'm scrolling through 364 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 5: my preview here, they jumped out to leads in games 365 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 5: last year, unlike most teams in the NFL. And what 366 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 5: that allowed that Brian Floores defense to do is really 367 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 5: stay creative, pin your ears back, make life difficult on 368 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 5: opposing quarterbacks if you are not aggressive with JD. McCarthy 369 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 5: early in the games, like you might have been a 370 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 5: little bit more with Sam Donald and Sam Donald through 371 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 5: a lot of some people don't like the terminology, but 372 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 5: interceptible pass last year that did not get turnover, but 373 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 5: they were turnover worthy. If you don't get those plays 374 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 5: from JJ McCarthy, if he's not pushing the ball down 375 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 5: the field, if you're not scoring points as easily early on, 376 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 5: that's going to make life more difficult for this defense 377 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 5: of the Minnesota Vikings, which is a very talented unit. 378 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 5: And yeah, as I look at it, the Minnesota Vikings 379 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 5: last year scored the number two most points in the 380 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 5: second quarter of any team in the NFL, the second 381 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 5: most points in the first quarter of any team in 382 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 5: the NFL. They led at halftime by the fifth largest margin. 383 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 5: That just makes life so much easier on your defense 384 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 5: and keeps things creative for your play caller. If Kevin 385 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: O'Connell isn't aggressing enough, aggressive enough early in games, They're 386 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 5: not going to be playing with leads as much. Then 387 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 5: there's going to be more pressure on JJ McCarthy to 388 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 5: throw the ball in known passing situations in the second half, 389 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 5: and it's going to make more difficult on the defense 390 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 5: as well. So that's the biggest thing for me is 391 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 5: just I trust the coaching and I'm good with the personnel. 392 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 5: How aggressive is he willing to get and how successful 393 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 5: are they going to be early in these games some 394 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 5: of the game scripts that come into play here so 395 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 5: that they can build these quick leads, And that's the 396 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 5: biggest question, and I'm not sure I haven't answered to 397 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 5: you yet for the vikings. 398 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 399 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 400 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to 401 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: listen live. 402 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: Regarding your gambling chatter with these groups, so we hit 403 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 3: on the Falcons anything any action on first coach fired. 404 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 3: I know Brian Dable is going to be popular, although 405 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 3: some people are backing off now that what's his face? 406 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: Dart looks good, But what about Mike McDaniel in Miami. 407 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 3: Do you think there's a world where they run him 408 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 3: mid season, Because I mean, again, I don't want to 409 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 3: read too much into a preseason disaster of a practice, 410 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 3: but apparently they got boat raced in a scrimmage against 411 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: someone and it was like the worst scrimmage at Miami 412 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 3: just looked ill prepared. McDaniel at the podium is starting 413 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 3: to kind of grab and say, weird stuff. 414 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 4: What's the vibe you're hearing around the Dolphins? 415 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. Here, here's the thing. I honestly went 416 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 5: back Jason after I saw them struggle at the goal 417 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 5: line and this was I was sharing some of this 418 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 5: on social today. I saw them struggle at the goal 419 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 5: line in the first preseason game and they ran three 420 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 5: times and got stuffed each time and turned the ball over. 421 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 5: It's against the Chicago Bears, And so I went back 422 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: and I started watching how they're running out a heavier personnel, 423 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 5: and then I saw that they were the worst team 424 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 5: in the NFL running the football in short yardage situations 425 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 5: last year. In fact, they were the stuff the most 426 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 5: frequently of any rushing attack since twenty nineteen. Is what 427 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 5: the Dolphins offense was doing last year. Even though they 428 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 5: had a Chane who was like great the year before, 429 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 5: this team was struggling a ton last year. And then 430 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 5: I started looking into the personnel groupings that they were utilizing. 431 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 5: And short story, because this could go on for ten minutes. 432 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 5: Be just discussing this because I love talking about this 433 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 5: type of thing. They used the number one highest rate 434 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 5: of runs with a full back out on the field 435 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 5: in short yardage and it's They're at like forty three percent. 436 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 5: The league average is six percent. No other team, there's 437 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 5: only one other team above eighteen percent. But when they 438 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 5: stick that fullback out on the field, they run at 439 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 5: such a high rate in the short yard of situations, 440 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 5: they're telegraphing to the defense, we're going to be running. 441 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 5: You know what the defense is doing on those runs. 442 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 5: They play with seven plus main boxes ninety five percent 443 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 5: of the time. 444 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: Wow. 445 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 5: The Dolphins, as a result, cannot move them because their 446 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: O line isn't talented enough. It's the cheapest offensive line 447 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 5: in the NFL, and it impacts their ability to gain 448 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 5: first downs, which is why they get stuffed so much 449 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: because their backs aren't big bruisers. But when they ran 450 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 5: with the same offensive line with the same running backs 451 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 5: over the last two years out of eleven personnel, three 452 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 5: wide receivers, spreading the field a little bit more. The 453 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 5: defense is playing with light boxes on only thirty one 454 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 5: percent of those downs, and they have more success running 455 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 5: the football. They were the number one most efficient team 456 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 5: running the football out of three wide receiver sets in 457 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: short yardage. And this isn't something Acidine like no teams do. 458 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 5: In fact, the Rams, the Falcons, and the Bucks all 459 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 5: run from short yardage with three wide receivers out on 460 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 5: the field above sixty percent of the time, some above 461 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 5: eighty percent of the time. So I think the Miami 462 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 5: Dolphins need to tweak some things here. And this is 463 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 5: just pure coaching, but it gets to the overall point 464 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 5: that you're making is just like, do we actually still 465 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 5: have confidence in Mike McDaniel to understand once it was 466 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 5: so novel what he brought to the table in when 467 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 5: he first started there with two and they have to 468 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 5: bring they have to get the ball out into his 469 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 5: hands so quickly because the O line is falling apart. 470 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 5: Last year, they weren't pushing the ball down the field 471 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 5: in the passing attack because they were I think Mike 472 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 5: McDaniel was worried about Tool getting another concussion on his watch, 473 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 5: and he didn't want to be responsible for having a 474 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 5: guy who's playing behind a battle line. They already know that, 475 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 5: and two is just holding the football. So it's all 476 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 5: this underneath stuff to the tight ends and the running backs, 477 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 5: and it's just not productive enough. So there's gonna have 478 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: to be I'll tell you this, Like there's been most seasons, 479 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 5: Mike McDaniel comes in with like something new, like to 480 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 5: start the year, we saw the short motion one year. 481 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 5: They're gonna have to come out with something this year 482 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 5: because if they come with the same similar offense that 483 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 5: they brought last year, I agree, the offense is going 484 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 5: to struggle and everybody's gonna probably blame it on Mike McDaniel. 485 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 5: And so that's definitely a recipe for disaster. But it's 486 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 5: hard for me to look. I think drafting the quarterback 487 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 5: for the New York Giants does buy Brian da ball. 488 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: Really. 489 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 5: I think I think drafting that quarterback does buy him time. 490 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 5: I don't know when they're going to stick darted. I 491 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 5: actually think that Russell Wilson is going to look much 492 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 5: better in this offense for the Giants than any other 493 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 5: quarterback that Brian Dable has worked with in New York, 494 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 5: other than you know since he came to New York, 495 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 5: since Buffalo, because Russell Wilson works a lot better throwing 496 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 5: from spread personnel. He works a lot better throwing to 497 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 5: wide receivers. And that's what the Giants use at high 498 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 5: rates is eleven personnel, a lot of wide receiver targets. 499 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 5: When he was in Pittsburgh and before that in Denver, 500 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 5: which is the two stops since Seattle where he's looked terrible, 501 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: those two teams use a lot of heavy personnel and 502 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 5: throw lots of tight ends and backs, and that's just 503 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 5: not really where he has his strength. The biggest issue, though, 504 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 5: is going to be the protection up front with that 505 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 5: offensive line. He is horrible under pressure. He thinks he's 506 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 5: the young guy that he once was in Seattle. He's 507 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 5: not the young guy. Happens to all of us. He's 508 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 5: terrible under pressure. He can't be scrambling around trying to 509 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 5: evade defenders. He's just got to figure out a way 510 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 5: to get rid of the football. That could drive Brian 511 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 5: daball nuts. But let's face it, it's still not going 512 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 5: to be worse than the quarterbacks stay Ball has been 513 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 5: working with over the last several years. So I think 514 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 5: Dable's got a little bit of a lifeline with the 515 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 5: Jackson Dark Draft pick. I could be wrong, but Mike McDaniel, 516 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 5: you know something's got to change for Miami, and has 517 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 5: got to change early in the season. 518 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be a real Jets fan if I didn't 519 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 3: ask your thoughts on the Aaron Glenn Higher Justin Fields 520 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: at quarterback. It just feels like a bit of a 521 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 3: stop gap before they get Arch Manning or someone you 522 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: know can actually be a Franchisecoa Bank. 523 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you I took Justin fields rushing yards 524 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 5: over which I definitely think is a good bet. It 525 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 5: assumes his health, right, But. 526 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 4: Wait, you could bet his season total rushing yards. 527 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 5: Yes, you can. I took it. I'm gonna try to 528 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 5: figure it out here future. I took it at I 529 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 5: don't know what it is right now. 530 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 4: I mean, I guess the risk there Warren is that, 531 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 4: like you know, he gets hurt. 532 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 5: Six twenty five yeah, six five yards. There was a quote, 533 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 5: I think it was today I saw on Twitter where 534 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 5: somebody asked a team that was practicing against the Jets. 535 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 5: What do you feel about Justin Fields as a quarterback 536 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 5: going up against in the last two days, And he said, 537 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 5: I really can't tell you what I feel about him 538 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 5: as a quarterback because he spent most of the practice 539 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 5: running around with the football trying to evade the pass rush. 540 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 5: And that's exactly what I sort of think is going 541 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 5: to happen, and that's going to heed to a lot 542 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 5: of these rushing attempts. Last year, we saw how many 543 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 5: times did you see Aaron Rodgers dropping back just dumping 544 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 5: the ball off to Breis Hall underneath because he was 545 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 5: trying to get rid of the ball quickly because the 546 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 5: pass rush wouldn't hold up longer if he's trying to 547 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 5: take long dropbacks. And that's one of the things self 548 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 5: preservation mode that Aaron Rodgers has gone into at this 549 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 5: latter stage of his career. He's trying to get rid 550 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 5: of the ball super quickly. That is the biggest delta 551 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 5: for any quarterback change in the NFL is Justin Field's 552 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 5: time to throw versus Aaron Rodgers time to throw. Aaron 553 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 5: Rodgers is one of the fastest in the NFL. Justin 554 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 5: Field is one of the slowest. In the NFL. He 555 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 5: had the highest rate of pass attempts thrown after three 556 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 5: seconds of any quarterback in the NFL last year. And 557 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 5: it's been a bugaboo every place that he's been. In 558 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 5: Chicago he started in twenty twenty one number six longest 559 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 5: time to throw, the next year number three, longest time 560 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 5: to throw, the next year, number one, longest time to throw, 561 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 5: and in Pittsburgh number four, longest time to throw. This 562 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 5: is a feature, not a bug. It's going to be 563 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 5: something that's going to come to New York. It's going 564 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 5: to be very different than what Aaron Rodgers is doing 565 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 5: behind that offensive line. As a result, I just think 566 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 5: there's going to be a lot of pressure on Justin 567 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 5: Fields in the pocket. It's going to force him to 568 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 5: then scramble with the football and run with the football. 569 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 5: And he's different than like a Baker Mayfield or some 570 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 5: of these other types of quarterbacks that will run out 571 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 5: of bounds after getting a first down. Like I think 572 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 5: Justin Fields is playing for his career. He's been given 573 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 5: another lifeline here by the Jets. He is. That's why 574 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 5: I miss like what one practice with his toe injuries. 575 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 5: Right back out there, he's taking this very seriously, as 576 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 5: he should. I think he's going to be a gamer. 577 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 5: I think it's one of his best attributes. I love 578 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 5: the upside that comes from a running quarterback. I think 579 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 5: he's going to be scrambling all over the field. I'm 580 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 5: curious to see how that defense holds up because they 581 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 5: have better talent than what Detroit's defense had, and Aaron 582 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 5: Glenn's got a unique style. I mean, they would be 583 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 5: The thing they remember about this d defense in Detroit 584 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 5: is that Detroit blitz at one of the highest rates 585 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 5: in the NFL. They had a great pressure rate, but 586 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 5: could not get any sacks. For some reason, they were 587 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 5: not registering any sacks at all. He called the defense, 588 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 5: and they were getting after quarterback but couldn't sack them. 589 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 5: If that regresses positively in New York for the Jets 590 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 5: and they're getting after the quarterback and recording those sacks, 591 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 5: those could change the game. I mean, sacks are absolute 592 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 5: drive killers for opposing offenses. That could definitely make life 593 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 5: a lot easier on justin fields. I just don't have 594 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 5: a lot of confidence in his ability as a pocket 595 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 5: passing quarterback to get the ball out on time and 596 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 5: to raise the ceiling of this team. But I'll tell 597 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 5: you I still didn't see enough to make me want 598 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 5: to fade the Jets and bet they're under. So I've 599 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 5: bet nothing on the New York Jets. Right now. I 600 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 5: would probably lean to the under, but I liked Justin 601 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 5: Field's rushing yards over and to that point. Injuries obviously 602 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 5: the number one concern if you're betting a player prop over, 603 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 5: But in Justin Field's case, he just needs this so 604 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 5: badly for the rest of his career that I think 605 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 5: he's not going to be the type of guy who's 606 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 5: just gonna sit out and give it a couple of 607 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 5: extra weeks. He'll get out there as early as possible, 608 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 5: and I think he goes over six to twenty five 609 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 5: minut interesting. 610 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: So I didn't even realize in his second year in 611 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 3: Chicago he had eleven hundred yards rushing and then six 612 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 3: fifty seven the following seasons, And you're right, you know, 613 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: the Jets model were probably could be, Hey, let's do 614 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 3: what they did in Pittsburgh. We got a really good defense, 615 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 3: Let's get after the quarterback, keep it close. 616 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 4: And not make mistakes. 617 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: So Justin we don't want you throw in a ton 618 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: we want you handing off. 619 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 4: By the way, what's the latest with breecee Ho Hall. 620 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 4: You know Breese Hall, Garrett Wilson. Are they vibing with 621 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 4: Fields or not? 622 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: Really? 623 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 4: I know Wilson knows him from Ohio State. 624 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, Garrett Wilson has said nothing but positive things about 625 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 5: Justin Fields. The big issue with Breece Hall is just 626 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 5: like he feels disrespected because he doesn't get it. He 627 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 5: does another contract. He's going into a free Agenciason after this, obviously, 628 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 5: and they have two young guys that they brought in 629 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 5: last year. Breishall got more playing time than them, but 630 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 5: both of these guys now are coming along a little 631 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 5: bit more, and so they're probably going to be incorporated 632 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 5: more into this offense. And so the question is just 633 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 5: like how much work is there to go around if 634 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 5: you aren't winning games, and you might need to have 635 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 5: Justin Fields drop back to pass a little bit more 636 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 5: because game script reasons, you're not going to have as 637 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 5: many rushing attempts. I agree with you that they probably 638 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 5: are going to come out intent on trying to run 639 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 5: the football. The question is just like how long throughout 640 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 5: the course of a game can they do that? If 641 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 5: they are trailing, and so Breese Hall he's just gonna 642 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 5: have to come out there and make the most of 643 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 5: his opportunities. And the thing is then the leave it 644 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 5: into the offensive coordinator in the play caller's hands, and 645 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 5: the head coach is to who then gets the reps 646 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 5: and moves up the depth chart in the running back 647 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 5: room in the pecking order there and getting some of 648 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 5: those opportunities. Who comes out week one, two, three and 649 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 5: plays the best. And so there's a lot of questions 650 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 5: in the running back room because Braylen Allen is somebody 651 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 5: who a lot of people are high on as well. 652 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 5: So I think they've got a good stable of backs. 653 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 5: But one thing I know is that you saw a 654 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 5: lot of receiving yards from Breecee Hall, and they don't 655 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 5: have Bressee Hall line for receiving yards yet. But if 656 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 5: I could bet an under on Breeze Hall of season 657 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 5: receiving yards, I probably would if that is based at 658 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 5: all on last year's numbers, because he's not just mobile 659 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 5: quarterbacks like that actually raised the floor of the running 660 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 5: back that they're working with from a rushing perspective because 661 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 5: of all the read options and things that they can 662 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 5: do on the ground, but they definitely lower the floor 663 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 5: in terms of targeting those running backs out of the backfield. 664 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers throwing all left and right to Breeshall, that's 665 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 5: not happening this year, and so I would be looking 666 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 5: to bet the under on Brishall receiving yards if they 667 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 5: line that before the season starts. 668 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 3: Man, I don't know who does more homework than you. 669 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 3: By the way, I love the positional spending. I mean 670 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: that was an absolutely great nugget. Miami as the cheapest 671 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: ole line in the league. Jets are up there. I 672 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: do know that that's for sure a lot of young guys. 673 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,719 Speaker 3: But Ward Sharp obviously go grab his football preview. 674 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 4: It's tremendous. Great reading here. With two weeks left, warn 675 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 4: are you going to be entering any of those Vegas contests? 676 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 5: You know, I am probably going to focus a little 677 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 5: bit on the you can bet the regular season wins 678 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 5: at the Westgate contest where you can go through all 679 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 5: thirty two teams and bet the over or under on 680 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 5: the season wins. And it's a I don't know how 681 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 5: many years they've been doing that contest, but that's definitely 682 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 5: something that's right up my alley having researched all of 683 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 5: the teams, and it's something that you don't have to 684 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 5: worry about during the course of the season. Now, during 685 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 5: the course of the season, most of the players and 686 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 5: I've been in those contests for several years. One year 687 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 5: I finished twenty first when they paid off the top 688 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 5: twenty And you know, there's definitely some opportunity. It's a 689 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 5: lot of work to if you're trying to finish high, 690 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 5: but a lot of variance goes into the people that 691 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 5: end up winning that. I like this season win contest. 692 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 5: I'm starting to dig into that a little bit more. 693 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 5: What's the buy and you know, I want to say 694 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 5: it was like only like four hundred or. 695 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 3: Oh that's not back six, No, I wonder if, yeah, 696 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 3: if it's that cheap, I'm sure people will do multiple entrants, 697 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 3: and I would it would You should humor me, and well, 698 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 3: I should humor myself and just go enter and just 699 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 3: pick thirty two unders as one entry, and then thirty 700 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 3: two overs is the next entry, just for fun, just 701 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 3: to see what happens, just that I want to blow fast. 702 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 5: That's yeah, No, I actually I could be wrong. It 703 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 5: might only be two hundred dollars to enter, but like 704 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 5: there were there weren't that many people that entered it 705 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 5: last year. I want to say the number was around 706 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 5: two hundred entrant. So you actually have a decent shot 707 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 5: at winning it because there's not a massive lot of 708 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 5: people who know about this contest, and I think it's 709 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 5: I think it's a lot of fun and you don't 710 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 5: have to worry about it once the season starts. In 711 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 5: terms of trying to come up with additional selection, I 712 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 5: do I do want to throw out there, you know, 713 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 5: my my twenty twenty five football preview, if you go 714 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 5: to sharp dot football, I'm giving that away for you 715 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 5: guys for one dollar if you enter the code five 716 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 5: obviously for one dollars name for one dollar.
