00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,680

00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: are on vacation, but not us. Buck still working hard here,

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: still working added ahead of a holiday. Um, yeah, she's

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,400

00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: on though. Yeah, we've got plenty of good topics. We'll

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: get you here in a second what we're talking about

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: on today's show. But Buck, when you're taking off for

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the opening, I know you've got the opening coming up here,

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: the big high school American event. I am actually taking

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,479

Speaker 1: morning and it's on. Get a chance to see all

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: those Todd rank high school recruits, some of the college

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: guys have come through and some of the pros. I

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: think Antonio Bryant, Antonio Brown should be one of the

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: guys that comes through. Now, knowing how competitive you are,

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: and I know you've been wildly successful coaching the teams

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: up there. You have a big seven on seven uh

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: tournament takes place, and so a lot of the coaches

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: are guys we've known forever, Guys that you've played with

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: or against you, Guys like Ryan Clark's up there coaching.

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: A lot of guys like to run their mouth a

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: little bit about their teams. But I know you've had

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: a lot of success, So knowing how competitive you are,

28
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: just be honest with me. Have you have you like

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: watched some somewy guys yet I haven't have in the past,

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: not yet. I do know the quarterbacks. My quarterbacks are

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Dylan Moses. Tell me it's Brian Ouer. Uh No, not Brianer.

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: I got two. I got to his younger brother as

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: my other quarters. Yea. So so it starts at quarterback

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: and then it kind of works the way. I got

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of kids actually from California. So Michael Pittman,

36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman's younger brother that plays at Calabasa's High School.

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: He's one of receivers. And then Joseph Delgado, who I

38
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: think played at St. John's Bosco. He is also one

39
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the guess, so we'll have a little bit of a

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Kelly connection. I normally do well when I have Kelly

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Doos on my squad. UM, so we'll see, we'll see

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: what we have some fun. I'm looking forward to hearing

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of that camp when you get back.

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Save all the good stories for me. I want to know.

45
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: It should be fun. What went down there? Uh is uh?

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: So Seaways involved again? Yeah? Sea Way withther MCGUINNISUM trying

47
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: to figure out who else we have, Chris Claiborne, who

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: has a squad of local fame, UM, some of the guys.

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: Napoleon Coffin who I played with with the Raiders is there. Yeah, yeah,

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: we got some. We got some guys. Keith Bullock is

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: is helping out. Natun Means is one of my partners

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: on the squad. So it should be a fun time

53
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: dealing with these high school dudes. And I tell you

54
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: they only get bigger, faster, stronger, So we'll see if

55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: we can contain them. But moving it to Dallas at

56
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: the Star, the guys will get a first class experience

57
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: being into cowboys practice facilities, seeing kind of how they

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: do it in Texas. It should be a really really

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: exciting time for everybody. The little taste of the NFL

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: for these high school kids. I love it. On today's show,

61
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: we gonna talk worse to First, there's a video series

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: you can watch on NFL dot com where all the

63
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: different podcasts go through and make the case for each

64
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: team that finished in the seller in their division how

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: they could make the lead all the way up to

66
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: to take over the division. So we'll kind of go

67
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: through our own version of that and just kind of

68
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: see if it is at all possible how that could

69
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: get done for the teams that finished in the last

70
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: place in each division. Then we're gonna do something just

71
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: to have some fun. This is the way, way way

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: all caps, way too early. Week one preview, just gonna

73
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: look at a storyline for the opening week of the

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: NFL season for each game. Way too early, but what

75
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: could be the kind of the thing we'll all be

76
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: watching for in these individual games? Get ahead of ourselves there,

77
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: have some fun and do the same thing, uh for

78
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: a couple of the marquee games in the college football

79
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: slate there in Week one, So a lot of ground

80
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: to cover, buck. But before we get to the football,

81
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: have you even following what's going on with this NBA

82
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: free agency? Yeah? So did Lebron Lebron evidently texts k

83
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: D talk about maybe going to l A just checking in,

84
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: just kind of checking you know, what's up, what you doing.

85
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: My my son sent me and my son's fourteen, he

86
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: sent me a text message with that like screen grab

87
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: that Lebron it had texted k D. I mean, this

88
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: is the all ages. People are totally into what's going

89
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: on in the NBA. And it got me thinking, as

90
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: much as I think that the NFL draft is far

91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: superior to any other draft anither sports, it's not even close.

92
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: But with free agency, I don't know, Buck, I think

93
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: I might have to give the nod to the n

94
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: b A just because you don't see marquee players like

95
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: this like Kirk Cousins this year. And we can argue

96
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, what as top seven, ten, twelve quarterback in

97
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: the league. I'm talking about in the NBA, like four

98
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: or five of the top ten to fifteen players in

99
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: the league, it seems like they have an option to

100
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: leave their free on a yearly basis. Yeah, it's kind

101
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: of crazy how that works out, but the players certainly

102
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: exercise uh their power created a CBA that gives them

103
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: an opportunity to kind of get out and have some movement.

104
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Player movement is good. It increases the interest in the sport.

105
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of people kind of waiting with

106
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: bated breath to see what Lebron James does because he's

107
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: the big domino to follow. Where where he goes, some

108
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: other guys may follow. So it's really exciting. I will

109
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: say this what we have done in our league. We

110
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: have free agent frenzy. But with all of the mechanisms

111
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: that teams have at their disposed of franchise tag, transition

112
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: tags and some of the other things, they can retain

113
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: their top players. And you see that teams really go

114
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: to the table early. That's why we've seen guys like

115
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: Daniel Hunter and some other guys get locked up to

116
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: these big deals. Typically the marquee guys, Yeah, they don't

117
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: get on the market like that. I think one of

118
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: the reasons it's different is because on the end the NBA,

119
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: you're more than willing to kind of gamble on these

120
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: one year deals. Are these two years with the player

121
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: opt out after one year, because there's not quite as

122
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: much risk of injury as the NFL. The NFL, you

123
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: get presented with the five to seven year. I take it. Yeah,

124
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: take take what you can get there. So it is different.

125
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: But give me some NFL names here, because right now

126
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: we've got Lebron and Kevin Durant could leave. Everybody says

127
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: he'll stay there in Golden State, Paul George can just

128
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: opted out, so he could leave, Chris Paul I believe

129
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: could leave. And then we're talking about Kawhi Leonard being available, Uh,

130
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: probably via trade. Those are five elite level players. And

131
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: so give me some NFL names. Like, if you're an

132
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: NFL fan doesn't follow the NBA, what would this kind

133
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: of be like in the NFL world. Well, I'm saying

134
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about these guys who their contracts are

135
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: coming up there maybe uh poised to take a fifth

136
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: year option, or they may play on the fifth year option.

137
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: But for me, Lebron James, the equivalent would be Aaron Donald.

138
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald's a twenty seventeen defensive Player of the Year.

139
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they've been trying to get this deal

140
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: done but they haven't been able to get it done.

141
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: If he hits the market, I think we could say

142
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: he is the best defensive player in the game. Uh.

143
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: He ranked the like the top defensive player in the

144
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: game on our NFL network top one hundred. So I

145
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: think he's the Lebron equivalent. I think hands down, people

146
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: know and appreciate his talent and what he brings to

147
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: a team, and I just believe if he hit the

148
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: open market. Man, you're talking about opening up the coffers,

149
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: people have to really really get out the big checkbook

150
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: to stroke a check for him. And to me, you

151
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: look at guys like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, you're talking

152
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers type talents. Um, I don't know who

153
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: else you want to put in there. To me, left

154
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: up there with Kevin Durant kind of like a score

155
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: and assassin. Uh, you have an opportunity to get a

156
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: guy like that, like he kind of completes the package

157
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: because not only are you getting a running back one,

158
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: but maybe you're getting the wide receiver to a guy

159
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: that his combined touches is going to bring a lot

160
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: of production and a lot of points. You can't go

161
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: wrong having scores. We saw Kevin Durant was able to

162
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: be a two time m v P. He has to

163
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: open market. Everyone is trying to get to him. Kawhile Leonard,

164
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, what is that like a Julio Jones level

165
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: of players? Yeah, I mean like I'm shoot good gracious, Yeah,

166
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean these are these are that What I'm getting

167
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: to here is I think it would be fun in

168
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: the NFL as as as NFL guys. It would be

169
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: fun in the free agency period. Now, the teams of

170
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: general managers wouldn't like it because they want to control

171
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: their guys and control their assets and and keep some continuity.

172
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: But man, it would spice up the offseason if we

173
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: did see uh and maybe it comes to the next

174
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: c B A but a way to kind of give

175
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: these players a little bit more freedom so we could

176
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: talk about this kind of stuff and the lead up

177
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: to free agency. Players of this aliber, of this magnitude

178
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: being on the open market would be fun. Yeah, a

179
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: little more movement, a little more movement would certainly increase interests. Man,

180
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: you talked about the ratings pop if the UM something

181
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: that would be musty TV. You think about the shows

182
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: that we do right around free agent frenzy. UM got

183
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: imagine if some of the names you know, you had

184
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Hit the open market, you had an

185
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers hit the open market. A lot of intrigue,

186
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: uh was surround those those teams when I was in

187
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Philadelphia the year the quote unquote Dream Team. You know,

188
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: all those guys came in, but a lot of those

189
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: guys on the back ends of their career, out of

190
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: their prime. I mean, NBA, it's different just because these

191
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: guys are are still right in the middle of their prime.

192
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: So it does make for a fun off season there

193
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Will look forward to seeing what happens

194
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: there during the World Cup. We've got the NBA, but

195
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: we still have some football to get to buck And

196
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier that worst to first series you

197
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: can find at NFL dot com. When you say we

198
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: go through the divisions and just give me the likelihood

199
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: that a team could make the leap from worst to first,

200
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: and then tell me if they did, how the heck

201
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: it would happen. And now to give you the challenge

202
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: of all challenges here number one, because I've got the

203
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: a f C North and the Cleveland Browns. Oh I

204
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: love this. This is a great challenge. I'm saying the

205
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: division comes back to the Browns. They able to win

206
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: it because one they have a talented roster. Tyrod Taylor

207
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: does a great job of finding a way to get

208
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: this team to the playoffs coming off of his experience

209
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills, and really they will win the

210
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: division if their defense plays at a championship level With

211
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, they have the pieces in place Myles Garrett

212
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: this season ago, they believe Emmanuel ad But can be special.

213
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Den's Award has gotten good reviews in terms of being

214
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: a cover corner. You then add in a high pressure

215
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: system that is poised to generate turnovers if they are

216
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: top two three, and the turnover battle with Tyrod Taylor

217
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: taking care of the ball. I think the Cleveland Browns

218
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: could be a backdoor team to kind of sneak their

219
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: way to the FC North. Yeah, maybe you have to

220
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: have an injury to something like a Ben Roethlisberger and

221
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh UM, but I think this team could could end

222
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: up being the second best team in the division, as

223
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: crazy as that sounds. Have won one game two years.

224
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: But you mentioned to me the formula run the ball,

225
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: play defense, protect the football. The formula has kind of

226
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: been out there for what the Jags did last year.

227
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, team have been picking up there over and

228
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: over and over again. Finally you're human enough of those

229
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: elite assets, you're aggressive in free agency, and all of

230
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, it looks like it almost happens overnight. But

231
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: it's really been kind of a building process here for

232
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: this team. I think you could see them take a

233
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: massive leap. I'm skeptical they can scale them out and

234
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: get all the way to the top of the division.

235
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: But if they've ended up having a uh A nine

236
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: and seven year I don't know. That totally shocked me

237
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: as crazy as that silence for a team that won

238
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: one game in two years. But the rosters in pretty

239
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: good shape. Yeah, the roster is in pretty good shape.

240
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: They have done a good job of kind of putting

241
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: some things. Dude, We'll see if they can get the

242
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: ball to bounce their way. It hasn't the last couple

243
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: of years, but it'd be interesting to see if Hugh

244
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: Jackson can kind of find a way to now take

245
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: a team that has a little more experience and a

246
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: little more talent, see if can getting them to the

247
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: winter Circle with more frequency. Alright, Jets, Jets trying to

248
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: make that move and the a f C East, can

249
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: they do it and how does it happen? I think

250
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: at all is about their young defense. Um. They've been

251
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: putting together to pieces on defense for the last few years.

252
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: We've seen Leonard Williams come in, Jamal Adams, uh, Marcus

253
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: May some of the other guys that they've added. Uh.

254
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: You bring in the Tremaine Johnson to go with um

255
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: Moclayborne on the other side. So defensively, they're looking like

256
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: an outfit that can be pretty good. I think the

257
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: X factor for the New York Jets is their rookie

258
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: quarterback Sam Donald. Can Sam Donald make enough place. I

259
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: don't believe this is a super talented team on offense,

260
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: but his ability to be a gun slinger, to be

261
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: a playmaker, to make some things happen off the script.

262
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: I think that could be the difference with the defense

263
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: that is playing at a high level. You mentioned that

264
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars and the way that defense was able to play.

265
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: With the defense that's able to play like that in

266
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: New York, maybe Sam Donald can make a player to

267
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: a game to get them to the winner circle. Maybe

268
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: they can somehow find a way to string together nine

269
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: and ten wins and find their way to the top.

270
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: If for whatever reason, the New England Patriots decided that,

271
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: you know what, this year, after wading over the division

272
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: for fifteen years, we decided we're gonna play nice and

273
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: list someone else have a chance at the type. Yeah,

274
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: I would have to be a situation where the Patriots

275
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. They're not be going downhill. They

276
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: have to fall off a cliff to lose their their

277
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: grip on this division. To me, the X factor is

278
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line, whether it's Sam Donald, Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater.

279
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: If that offensive line can can protect them, help them

280
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: run the football, take some pressure off the quarterback position,

281
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I think you can see a drastic improvement here with

282
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: this team. I do like the young pieces on defense.

283
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: I think a little underrated out there on the outside

284
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. They've got some good young options there.

285
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they can consistently protect whoever's

286
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: playing quarterback. That would be the reason. I think it

287
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: would be a big challenge for them to try and

288
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: make that leap. Oh absolutely, I mean it does come

289
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: down to the ability to protect, the ability to run

290
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: the ball. Who's going to be the guy to do it?

291
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: I know you're a guy they've talked about quite a

292
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: bit Ela McGuire. Maybe he can be the star and

293
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: then making that kind of comes out of nowhere and

294
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: becomes a big time player. But someone has to be

295
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: able to be the Bill cout. I just don't know

296
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: who the offensive are is the guy that you kind

297
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: of build around offensively. Maybe Sam Donald is able to

298
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: elevate the players, some of those guys that are in

299
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: the hotel. We'll see what happens there. In the a

300
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: f C. Storry, this might be the easiest case to make.

301
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: It seems like there's two arguments pretty out in the

302
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: open here a f C South. You've got the Colts

303
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: and the Texans. How do they make that leap? Obviously

304
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: you start the quarterback position for both teams. You started

305
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback position for both teams. For the Coats, I

306
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: just don't see how the Coats can can do it.

307
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: I just don't see a team that is talented enough

308
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: uh to climb their way to the top. If it

309
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: does happen, it's because Andrew Luck plays like the Andrew

310
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Luck that we expected when he came out of college,

311
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: a guy that is able to put this team on

312
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: his back. He plays at a high level. He throws

313
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: for yards, maybe puts up forty five to fifty touchdowns,

314
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: and they find a way to become an offensive machine

315
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: with Frank Wright kind of dialing it up on offense.

316
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: For the Texans, it is all about DeShawn Watson. If

317
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Deshan Watson comes and duplicates and replicates what he did

318
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: a season ago, I think they certainly can do it. Offensively.

319
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: They we're putting up over thirty points a game, thirty

320
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: four and a half points a game, I think when

321
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: he was at the starter. And then the return of

322
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: their defensive stars J. J. Watt, Winnie Merculus, those guys

323
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: give them an opportunity to play with Honey Badger coming

324
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: in man in the middle. Defensively, they can do it,

325
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: particularly with Jadavian Clown he kind of coming into his own.

326
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: They have the pieces in place. It's all about the

327
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: young quarterback getting hot and maintaining a hot streak as

328
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: they go through the year. Yeah, I'm with you on

329
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: both counts here. I think the Colts are gonna have

330
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: a big challenge. Look Andrew Luck, I still haven't really

331
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: seen him, you know, and what he can do coming

332
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: off that injury. If he can revert back to for him,

333
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big mystery. And even if he does,

334
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: there's still so many other holes on this roster. How

335
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to rush the passer? You know,

336
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: Candice offensive line come together. I do think that this

337
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: is probably the best group of five they have upfront,

338
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: UH and quite some time there. So they have invested

339
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: in the offensive line. I think they'll be better there.

340
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: But to me, I just defensively, there's too many holes

341
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: there for them to make that leap. I think the

342
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Texans do make the leap. I'm not gonna sit here

343
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: and try and make the case of if you know X,

344
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Y and Z, all these things have to aligns simple

345
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: you keep Deshaun Watson healthy for the entire season. I

346
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: think they have. They have a real legit shot to

347
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: win this division. I'd be tempted to say they're the

348
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: favorite to win this division. And I know what Jacksonville

349
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: has done in the past. We saw it last year,

350
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: a team that's as talented as any team in the

351
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: league and and kind of just went rough shot UH

352
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: through their schedule. I still think they're on equal footing

353
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: with the Texans. When Deshaun Watson is playing at the

354
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: level he was early last season. I think it's a

355
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: pick them. I think it's a picking between the Texans

356
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: and the Jags inside that division. So absolutely they could

357
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: make that leap, especially if if Blake Bortles doesn't kind

358
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: of springboard off the success he had in the postseason,

359
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: if he kind of reverts back and has some issues,

360
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely the Texans could end up winning this division. Oh no,

361
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: no question. They have the talent in place, and we

362
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: saw the excitement that Deshaun Watson brought to the offense.

363
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: The big thing that I want to see from Deshaun

364
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Watson how does he play in year two? How does

365
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: he adjust to the defense? Is adjustments As the defense

366
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: coordinators have been able to study that offense and they

367
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: make some adjustments to some of the UH tricks and

368
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: gadgetry and up tempo stuff that they were doing. How

369
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: does he respond? And that doesn't even take an account

370
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: how does he feel coming off to injury. He's a

371
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: special player. We saw how dynamic he made that offense.

372
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: What does Bill O'Brien have for his young quarterback in

373
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: year two? That ultimately would determine if those guys are

374
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: the Kings of the Mountain in this division. Yeah, the

375
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: worst the first move I think very possible there for

376
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: the Texans. Now we get out to the a f

377
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: C West Denver Broncos finished last place last year. Got

378
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: a new quarterback though, in case Keenum and if he

379
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: can play like he did last year, Buck Uh, sure you.

380
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: I think you can make the case these guys can

381
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: make that move. I think they can't make the move.

382
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been here in to reports,

383
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: but coming out of Denner, everyone is excited about Bradley Chub.

384
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: They're excited about the pairing of Bradley Chub and Von Miller.

385
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Um you have Chris Harris Jr. Calling Chubb a young

386
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. So if you think about putting Khalil Mack

387
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: opposite Von Miller with what they've traditionally done on defense, man,

388
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: they go back to be in the top flight defense,

389
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: the championship caliber defense. They can win the division on

390
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: that alone. Then you add in the case Keendom. Can

391
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: he continue to play the way that he played a

392
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: season ago. Can he take care of the ball, can

393
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: he make the plays? Can he get to Marius Thomas

394
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders and some of the other guys going

395
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: and then the X factor for me Royce Freeman. Royce

396
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: Freeman could be, hey, man, I gotta go all in.

397
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Gotta go all in. If Royce Freeman can come out

398
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: and be a guy who gives him twelve yards on

399
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: the ground to be able to run the football, play defense,

400
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: we saw, that was their championship recipe. Can they get

401
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: back to that they do, there's a chance that they

402
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: can kind of surge back to the top of the

403
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: f C West. You mentioned the rookie running back. I'm

404
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna go a couple other rookies keep an eye on

405
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: this team. Courtland Sutton uh to me and Dashawn Hamilton's

406
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: if they can get either one of those guys to

407
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: contribute your one. Eventually that torch has to be passed

408
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: down from the Marius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders to the

409
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: next group of guys. We'll see. We'll see which one

410
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: of those guys steps up. I think you got a

411
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: good chance to see both those guys contribute your one.

412
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: Um and I don't know what of all the divisions

413
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: we've gone through so far, Broncos have a legitimate shot

414
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: here to make that move. I'd say more so than

415
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Jets and the Colts, Uh, the

416
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: Texans and the Broncos. I think both those teams in

417
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: the a f C have a chance to make that

418
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: worse to first leap. Yeah, I think the an f

419
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: C West would be very, very competitive. Um with John

420
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: Gruten coming over is going to look a little old

421
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: school and have an old school feel. But anytime you

422
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: have a defense, your defense gives you an opportunity to

423
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: go to the top of the mountain. Chubb and mill

424
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: of that parent is going to be fantastic, but then

425
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: also deary wolf on the inside. I expect this defense

426
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: to be at the top five level. Look for Bradley

427
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: Roby to make major strides. But the guy that doesn't

428
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: get talked about a lot, but may really change the

429
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: course of the franchise, Bill Musgrave the offensive coordinator. Having

430
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: Bill muskgrave um kind of clean up the offense, kind

431
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: of get it together, get case keenom on the right page.

432
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: That may be the difference between the Broncos and the

433
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Charge and some of the other teams that are vying

434
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: for the top. Let's get over the NFC here. The

435
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: Bears in the NF see North trying to make that leap.

436
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: I was asked the other day on Twitter, who's the

437
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: most improved teamer? Who will be the most improved team?

438
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: And I said the Bears, just in terms of the

439
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: of the players. A lot of people said, oh, you know, uh,

440
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy, what does that mean that. Look, he's a

441
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: good play caller. That will help health ridge creativity, that'll

442
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: be great. But to me, this is personnel base. This

443
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: just this team offensively, personnel wise, is so much better

444
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: on paper than it was last year. I can't help

445
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: but think they will be much improved over what we

446
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: saw last season. Much improved. You can talk about the

447
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: personnel moves all day. Allen Robinson coming over at Trey Burden,

448
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Taylor gabriel Um. I think the unleashing of Tarred Cohen.

449
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: We're hearing some of the reports about he has lined

450
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: up all over the formation. I believe that he could

451
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: be the Bears version of Tyreek Hill in terms of

452
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: the way they use him. And then when it comes

453
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff, Matt n Matt Naggi has done

454
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: a really good job of developing quarterbacks. We saw the

455
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: work that he was able to do in Kansas City.

456
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: He now has the perfect pupil and Mitch Trabinsky, and

457
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you can underestimate the arrival of Mark

458
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: health Ridge, the college head coach turn NFL offensive coordinated

459
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: will bring some innovative ideas to the National Football League.

460
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: I think he could put Mr. Bisky in his comfort zone.

461
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: This Bears offense could look different than any offense we've

462
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: seen them tried out in the Windy City. I'm looking

463
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: for big things for the Bears, and it pains me

464
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: as a longtime Green Bay Packer Roquan Smith too. I

465
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: mean that that was the big addition on the defensive

466
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Uh. Now you've got some playmakers

467
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: here at a couple of different levels of the defense

468
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: that will be big for them coming up this year.

469
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they make that leap. I just think

470
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: that division is too good. I don't think they'll go

471
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: all the way to the top of that division, but

472
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a better football team we get

473
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: to the NFC East. It's it's your former team, Buck,

474
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: You've now traded in. You were all Giants all the

475
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: time and traded him in, and you traded in trade

476
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: him in you traded in for the cow there's any

477
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: teams from the NFC East can go to the playoffs?

478
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: He actually, Giants and the Cowboys can both go to

479
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He actually didn't trade them in. I'll pull

480
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: back to curtain a little bit. We're gonna take a

481
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: worst the first set coming up here shortly that combines

482
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: all the podcasts and Bucky's Bucky picked which which out

483
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: of all the divisions, his favorite was the New York Giants. Yeah. Interesting?

484
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: Is that tie with the tie for the Cowboys songs?

485
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: That hat works? No? No, no no, When you go to

486
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: the Star, When you go to the Star this weekend,

487
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: how many selfies are you gonna take? I'm not a

488
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan. I'm and I don't know, I don't know.

489
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: Might beg to differ. Like see today I said I

490
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna talk about the Cowboys, but yet again you

491
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: bring up a Mary Because team. So here I am

492
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: talking about Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. I'm not talking

493
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: about them going from worst to first. Dallas Cowboys when

494
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: nine and seven a season ago, I think their position

495
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: to go right back. But as we're looking at the

496
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: NFC East, the New York Jason the team that I

497
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: had my eye on, man I am smitten by what

498
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: they could be on offense. Eli Manning returning. Look, he

499
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: he got his way. He's back in place as a

500
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. They get him some help in say Kwan

501
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: bark The Odell Beckham Junior returns Offensively, Evan Ingram, the

502
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: continued Emerges and Stirling Shop. They have everything that you

503
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: you want offensively. They fixed the offensive line. I expect

504
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: they put they they clogged a couple of holes in

505
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: that boat. I think you're still a couple of there's

506
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: still a couple of the holes, and that it's the

507
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: right side of the Linebuck John Jerry Eric Flowers. You

508
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: feel you sleep all at night with that. I do.

509
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: Just run left, don't worry about the right. Just go

510
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: like just drop back. When you drop back, drift drift,

511
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: just drift to the left side. You just stay away

512
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: from it. Don't ask guys to do what they can do.

513
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: Just move, Just move away from it. Good news, bad news.

514
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: Good news is we have maybe the best young tight

515
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: end or one of the best young tight ends in

516
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: the NFL and haven't even Bad news is we're gonna

517
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: have to to keep men. No, no, we let it get

518
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: a littlem out. He has to be a free releaser

519
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: all day. Ball comes out quick. Look, you can't do

520
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: all that blitzing and rush and if you're gonna play

521
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: man to man on Odeo Beckham Jr. Some of those

522
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: other guys, you gotta gotta pick your poison. I think

523
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: the John's would be fine, but I'm really excited about

524
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: what they're going to do on defense. I think their

525
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator, James Beshett, is going to unleash the hounds.

526
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: A lot of pressure, a lot of pressure, a lot

527
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: of blitzes, guys coming from all over the place. It

528
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: could be exciting time in New Year. I heard some

529
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: reports by the way Eli Apple and said, maybe growing

530
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Yeah, you can't throw Eli. You

531
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: don't give up on our first round picks block. You

532
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: get a couple opportunities and you get a couple of

533
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: buys at the Apple and Eli um last year. Last

534
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: year he struggled a little bit, But maybe you can

535
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: bounce back. Landon Collins being the centerpiece, City wants to

536
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: be the captain. So let's see what they do in

537
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: New York. Tough competition, because that division is loaded. I

538
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: think all those teams are viable contenders. You talk about

539
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: the Eagles having the most talented roster in the league,

540
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys coming back, Dak Prescott, Zeke Elliott, and

541
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: then they watching the risk and Is don't get a

542
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: lot of attention. But their team with Alex Smith, it's tough. Man.

543
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a tough division for me. So many

544
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: of my favorite players in that division. I don't know.

545
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: I may not be able to watch the NFC. That's

546
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: that puts you in a bad spot. Bad spot. Uh,

547
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: Let's get to the NFC South and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

548
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: We talked about on the last part with Jamos and

549
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: his whole situation. But if you're trying to make the

550
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: case book, you probably start here with a defensive line

551
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: with Jason Pierre, Paul McCoy, Vita Vea ad Over, Vinny Curry,

552
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: get Noah Spence. Um been running. I mean they've got

553
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: they they've done some things over the last couple of years. Here,

554
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: try and beef up this defensive line. Um. You look

555
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, they've they've gotten physical. When you

556
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: go out and get a Ryan Jensen and pair him

557
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: up with Ali mar pet Uh. You draft Alex Kappa.

558
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: These are these are barroom brawlers that they've got up front.

559
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: So I see what they're trying to do here. They're

560
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: trying to become the physical team in this division with

561
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: all these these hot shot quarterbacks. I see what they're

562
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: trying to do here. Bigger, stronger, more physical. We'll see

563
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: if it can work out for Yeah, they're trying to

564
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: be the rough and rugged team. I think they're gonna

565
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: have to play like Rockham sock 'em robots. They have

566
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: to knock people around. They have to find a way

567
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: to run the ball. The trick that they have to

568
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: establish it. You talked about their defense. I think their

569
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: defense should be light years better. The pressure to me

570
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: is on Vernon Hardgraves. Vernon Hardgraves has to play like

571
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: a number one pick. He has to play like a

572
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: first rounder they drafted and be a top flight corner.

573
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: He has to play like that on the island. Offensively, Look,

574
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: I think this issue with Jamis Winston, either we're gonna

575
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: see the best of Jamis Winston or he's going to

576
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: wash out of Tampa Bay. Jamis Winston will have to

577
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: return with a renewed focus. He's going to have to

578
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: play up to the hype they kind of preceded his

579
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: arrival in Tampa, and I think he has the weapons

580
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: around him. The guy that everyone has to look for,

581
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: Rojoe Ronald Johnson has to be a player. They gotta

582
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: be able to get some balance in that offense. They

583
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: have to be able to run the ball effectively, catch

584
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: the ball out the backfield. If he can make some

585
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: plays from a skilled position standpoint man, they have a

586
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: lot of options, but Rojo has to be kind of

587
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: a centerpiece of that offense because they need to be

588
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: able to run it and control the game. And that

589
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: division with so many high powered offenses that they'll face. Yeah, look,

590
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: they've got some talent on that roster, so I don't

591
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: think it's it's all that crazy to think they can

592
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: make a big leap here. I don't know if they

593
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: can get to the top of the division or that'll

594
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: be a challenge. We get out to the NFC West

595
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: fighting garoppolos um this team buck. I know they've got

596
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: some stra hole still where they are and they're in

597
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: they're building process. But you've got a quarterback, you've always

598
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: got a chance Oh, for sure. You always have a chance,

599
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: And I think it's all about Jimmy G's magic. Kenny

600
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: continue and sustain the magic that he displayed the last

601
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: five games of last season. Undefeated record man. This guy

602
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: was completing almost sixth day percent of his passage, which

603
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: is unbelievable, had seven touchdowns, five interceptions. But what you

604
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: like is he was able to elevate the performance of

605
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: the entire squad. Kenny, continue to do it. I like

606
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: what they've done on defense for just Sherman coming over

607
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: being a leader, trying to help the young secondary grow

608
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: and kind of take on some of the things that

609
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: they were able to do in Seattle when he was there.

610
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: This defense and Jimmy Garoppolo, they didn't still add enough weapons.

611
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: But I'll say the guy that you have to watch,

612
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: Jered McKinnon, the running back extraordinaire for the forty nine,

613
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: is coming over from the Minnesota Vikings. He did some

614
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: nice stuff quietly and Dalvin Cook's absence in Minnesota. Look

615
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: for him to be a big part of what they

616
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: want to get done. Kyle Shanahan has always done a

617
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: terrific job of getting a couple of running back the

618
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: ball not only as run as, but as receivers. Let's

619
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: see if he can do it With Jerry McKinnon, I

620
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: think this offensive line got a chance to be one

621
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: of the better offensive lines in the league too. You

622
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: out on drafted Mike McGlinchey. Um, you go out and

623
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: pick up a western rich Burg who's outstanding. Lake and

624
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: Thominsons kind of resurrected his career. He just got a

625
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: new contract there at Garden. You've got one of the

626
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: best left tackles and Joe Staley. So uh, they have

627
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: a very good offensive line to protect Jimmy Garoppolo. Whoever

628
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: plays running back in his Shanahan system is going to

629
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: be successful. So Jerick McKinnon, you can expect big things

630
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: from him. To me, one of the I would say, uh,

631
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: under the radar offseason storylines. I don't think we've talked

632
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: about it at all, but their patients to let the

633
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster thing kind of lay itself out, listen to

634
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: the noise because they wanted to see what would happen.

635
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: And now it looks like Ruben Foster is in the clear.

636
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: And make no mistake about it. When Ruben Foster was

637
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: on the field last year, he was dominant, and he's

638
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: got a chance to be an All Pro. He's that

639
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: good in a real tempo setter for this defense and

640
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: a d vents and the team and organization that when

641
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: we go back to their success, their recent success under

642
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: Jim Harball was led by some very very freakishly talented

643
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: inside linebackers. And now I think it's Ruben Foster's turn

644
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: to take things over. I just pray and hope that

645
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: he he stays out of trouble and all this stuff

646
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: kind of will go away. And what we're doing about

647
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: this anymore, uh in the future, because as a football player,

648
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: Ruben Foster is a stud. He is a stud, and

649
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: I think they were wise to take their time to

650
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: kind of let the process play out. They didn't pull

651
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: the trigger too soon. And look, I mean, the guy

652
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: came in with some issues. You knew those issues existed.

653
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: You're hoping that he will mature um and and move

654
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: away from that kind of behavior. But I think the

655
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: thing that you're hoping for, if you're the forty nine

656
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: is man when we get him on the field and

657
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: we kind of get him engaged and get him into program,

658
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: and he has locked and loaded as the leader of

659
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: their defense that he's going to not only respond to

660
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: the at a responsibility, but he's going to thrive. And

661
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: I think with guys like Richard Sherman around him and

662
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: some of the other guys that they have on that side, UM,

663
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: I think he has a chance has to be a

664
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: special player. And if he just plays like he flashed

665
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: last year's going forward on his defense is going to

666
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: be lights out, no question. All right, let's have some

667
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: fun here. This is our way, way, way way way

668
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: too early Week one preview, and this is what I

669
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: want to do. This. We can kind of go rapid

670
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: fire through this buck. We'll end up with two storylines

671
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: per game, so you can lead us off on each

672
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: game and give us kind of the one storyline you'll

673
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: be looking to. And obviously a lot of things is

674
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: gonna change between now in the first week, but I

675
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: thought we had some fun get out in front of

676
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: this thing. H. The first game of the year, it's

677
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: a it's a hum dinger. Uh. The Falcons at the

678
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion Eagles on the Thursday nighter. Here, what's

679
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: the storyline there for that game? I'm gonna be looking

680
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: at the tunnel, uh, And I just want to see

681
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: which guy's going to run out the tunnel. It's it

682
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,239
Speaker 1: gonna be Carson Wentz or Nick Foles. I want to

683
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: know if Carson Wentz is going to be back and available,

684
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: and is he going to be able to return to

685
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: playing at the m v P level that he displayed.

686
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Had a conversation with the coach, a former coach yesterday

687
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: who said, look, man, this dude is the real deal.

688
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: I know that the coaches did a great job of

689
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: elevating Nick Foles, but Carson Wentz is the real deal.

690
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: He's a special player. He's worthy of all the accolades

691
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: that he's received. Uh, let's see if he can come

692
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: out and continue to build upon the momentum that he

693
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: started this season ago. No, that's that's a good one.

694
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'm gonna go the other side

695
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: here and this team. I'm anxious to see one of

696
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: the rookies. I don't know. We haven't talked about him

697
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: in all sense sense of draft ended. How about Calvin Ridley?

698
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: Kind of see how they sprinkle him in and use

699
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: him this explosive player to pair up with Julio Jones,

700
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: Mohammedsan new This offense has a chance to be one

701
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the NFL with all the

702
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: ability they have in their Steve Sarkisian another year here

703
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: to get comfortable. Um, this could be a shootout here.

704
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: As much talent as as Philadelphia has on the defensive line,

705
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: I think we could find ourselves in a shootout here

706
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: week one. Oh, I got my glasses on and I'm

707
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: looking dead as Steve sarkies in. It's all on you, bro,

708
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: It's all on you to get this offense going. If

709
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: we're playing the video game. The Atlanta Founds and one

710
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: of the first teams that I'm going for because offensively,

711
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: they have every weapon that you could ask for. They

712
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: got a big time playmaker Julio Jones. They got a

713
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: big receiver in mohammedsan New you got the flashy new

714
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: edition in Calvin Ridley. Two backs in the backfield. You

715
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: have an m v P level quarterback. Man. If you

716
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: can't play the sticks, you can't play the game with

717
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: these guys. There's a problem. Sarkis in year two, he

718
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: has to find a way to get this team to

719
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: average twenty nine points a game. If they can hit

720
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: those magic numbers, and the Atlanta Falcons could get another

721
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: opportunity to go to the Super Bowl. All right, Bill's Ravens,

722
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: Bill's Ravens, win's number eight gonna play? When is Lamar

723
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: Jackson going to get onto the field? I think it's

724
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: all about Lamar Jackson. Joe Flacco can have a remarkable camp,

725
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: he can light it up in preseason, but everyone is

726
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: waiting to see what are the Baltimore Ravens going to

727
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: do with Lamar Jackson? And it's their own fault. They

728
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't have hyped them up. They've hyped them up throughout

729
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: the off season. Right now, I am sitting here waiting.

730
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to see what Lamar Jackson is able to

731
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: add to an offense that desperately needs some juice. They

732
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: added some playmakers, but man, if you can get an

733
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: exciting playmaker back there in the center running around making

734
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: things happen, that's something that we've never seen from the

735
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. I guess THEA had Cordial Steward, but the

736
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: older Cordis Steward, who couldn't really move around much. I

737
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: picked up Cordill Stewart from the airport and in my

738
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: four accord where the window didn't roll, all the way down,

739
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: and he was he went too pleased about it. I thought,

740
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 1: you knew what kind of contract he was looking at

741
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: when he saw what I picked him up in. Do

742
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: you at least have a uh yeah, no, I had

743
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: a c Okay, that's good. It kind of sucked because

744
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: he couldn't go into all the way up Anyways, he

745
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: did so. I remember he got in the car and

746
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: he said, uh, my favorite color is purple. I think

747
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna work out. Oh, all right, here we go.

748
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: Uh then we go to uh well, actually, I'll give

749
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: you one quick, Josh Allen's. The other one would be

750
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: my other storyline. The other rookie quarterback could be potentially

751
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: starting in that game, name Peterman too. Nay Peterman could

752
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: be the start of the Star of the of the sum.

753
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: In fact, I sat right next to Nate Peterman at

754
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: the last Kings game. I went to nice, Yeah, why

755
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: why is he n l A? He needs to be

756
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: uh working on this game, working out. I guess he's

757
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: working out in l A. They're all everybody works out

758
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: in the West. All right, let's go a little more

759
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: rapid fire here. Let's go Jags Giants. To me, this

760
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: is I'm a jump on this one. This is the

761
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: Jack's d line against this this uh remade Giants offensive

762
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: line that Bucky's already gonna put in the Hall of

763
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Fame right now? See how this? Hey look the thing offensively?

764
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: They don't. They have the potential to light it up.

765
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: I think the big thing that I want to see

766
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: is Jalen Ramsey versus Works. That's a little motivation for

767
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: both those guys in the off season. Fight Works. Yeah,

768
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: that should be a phone to watch. And then how

769
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: are the Giants going to use, say Kwan Barkley. I'm

770
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: really fascinated more so by that. A lot of conversation

771
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: is always about Past Sherman. But Mike Shield is technically

772
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. What kind of plan did he put

773
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: in place? I know Past Sherman is going to call

774
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: the plays, but let's see how they featured their young

775
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: running back. Did they use him as a runner, did

776
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: they feat him as a receiver? How did they try

777
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: and maximizes value to make life easy for Eli Manning?

778
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: All Right, divisional game Bucks at Saints Bucks Saints I

779
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: mean fist magic versus that New Orleans Saints um defense

780
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: can continue to play the young and fast. They played

781
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: pretty well down the stretch. Let's see if they can

782
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: continue to get it done on the denist out. I'm

783
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: with you on that one. Let's get to Texans Patriots

784
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: round two. Here, Deshaun Watson let him up? Can he

785
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: do it again? Hey man, it's all about Deshaun Watson.

786
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: Which Deshaun Watson shows up? Um man. He plays so well.

787
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: He's talked about just the matchup and how he gained

788
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: confidence having going uh toe to toe with Tom Brady.

789
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: Let's see what Bill Belichick does the second go round.

790
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: What does he do to make Deshaun Watson uncomfortable and better? Yet,

791
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: what does Deshaun Watson due to counter the tactics that

792
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick brings against him? Yeah, this is kind of

793
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: one of those deals. You give Bill Belichick that much

794
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: time to get ready for somebody. We'll see what happens.

795
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: Although this to me reeks of the Patriots laying an

796
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: egg and losing by like twenty five points and then

797
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: we we we say they're done and this is it.

798
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: It's finally gonna happen, and they rip off like ten

799
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: games and you think you think that goes out. They

800
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: do that at some point and they lay an egg

801
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: at some point in time early in the season, we

802
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: all write them off and then they get hot. Uh,

803
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: forty Niners, Vikings, Jimmy g and Kirk Cousins. How about that?

804
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: Hey man, That's what it's all about. And I think

805
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: the bigger thing the test will be Kirk Cousin reunion.

806
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: There that you thought we could be on the other

807
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: sideline in this game. Yeah, I mean, I think I

808
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: think the fun thing will be, Um looking at that

809
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: matchup take place, but better it. How does Jimmy G

810
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: respond going against a solid defense? You talk about the

811
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: defense that is load of everything, Griffin, Danielle Hunter coming

812
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: off the edges, Anthony Bard. Then you talk about that

813
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: secondary with all those stars. Um, this would be probably

814
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: the stiffest challenge Daddy face And I know that I'm

815
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: saying that knowing that he picked apart of Jackson with

816
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense at the end of the season. But this

817
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: team here, what Mike Zimmer does, how they will attack him.

818
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: We will have a quick opportunity to see how good

819
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Garofolo really. Um, this defense is gonna challenge

820
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: them in a ton of different ways. Big time challenge there.

821
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: How about Titans Dolphins. You've got a couple of quarterbacks

822
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: looking to have big years here more Chris Mariota a

823
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: little disappointing year, although so show some things in the playoffs.

824
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: And you've got Ryan Tannehill coming off injury. That's the

825
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: quarterback matchup. You had a quarterback matchup? Is significant? Man

826
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: the floor? What's he gonna do with Marks Mariota? How's

827
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: Marks Mariota respond? Is he health? Easy, able to use

828
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: his legs? Can he uh continue to evolve as a

829
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: pocket passer? We want to see that. Won't also see

830
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: what Mike Rabel does with a defense. He has his

831
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: guy and plays dean piece as the decordinator. How does

832
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: that evolve? And then for the Miami Dolphins, they blew

833
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: up all the guys that they said we're bad apples.

834
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: It's a culture change. Well, let's see what that looks

835
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: like on the field. You lost a really good player

836
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: in Jarvis Landry, who steps up in the wide receiver

837
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: corps and better yet, can we finally see Ryan Tannehill

838
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: play like a guy that they say that he can

839
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: be a franchise quarterback. Let's see it. He has to

840
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: put it on display. All right, get to the next

841
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: game here Bengals Colts and the will Or Woney Willie

842
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: or won he with Andrew Luck. Obviously that's gonna be

843
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: the big storyline. And then for the Bengals. To me, Buck,

844
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: I I think this team we talked about trying to

845
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: play bullyball, trying to be physical upfront. You go drafted

846
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: Billy Price, you trade for a core to Glenn. To me,

847
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: this looks like a team that wants to run the

848
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: football and Joe Mixon could be the beneficiary there. Yeah,

849
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon wants to football. They want to give it

850
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: to him. They need to hand it to him. I

851
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: thought he was the most talented running back UM in

852
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: last year's class, and that's UM. Even with Alvin Kamar

853
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: and those other guys doing what they were able to do,

854
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: I think this guy is untapped resource in terms of

855
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: what he can bring to this team. I look from

856
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: to be more active, not only as a runner, but

857
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: catching the ball out the backfield. If they can build

858
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: the offense around him with a J. Green as a

859
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: very very nice compliment, those two guys working together as

860
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: one and two in the game play. In terms of

861
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: the priority, I think the Bengals can score a lot

862
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: of points defensively, they have some young guys that they add,

863
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: and I think their rookie class could actually be some

864
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: solid contributors. But really, the big issue, the big question

865
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be looking number twelve, Andrew Luck will have

866
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go canny. Hold up, we haven't seen

867
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: him throw a real football. Maybe you throw a real

868
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: football in that game. He can't play with the college ball.

869
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: Let's see how he throws against what should be a

870
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: better defense. Yeah, that's definitely gonna be the biggest storyline,

871
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest storyline of the entire week one will

872
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,959
Speaker 1: be Andrew Luck and his health and is he ready

873
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: to go? Next, we get to the Steelers at the Browns.

874
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: Are the Browns back? Is this team? Uh, finally gonna

875
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: turn the corner? Tyrod Taylor all this excitement or the

876
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: Steeler is gonna come in there and kind of blow

877
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: out that flame in a hurry. Oh I'm I'm ready.

878
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I know it's early, it's a two early preview,

879
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: but I'm ready to guarantee this one. I'm ready to

880
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: put a guarantee out there. You put the Browns. Oh yeah,

881
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: guarantee the Browns are going to win the opener at

882
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: the Dog New look Browns are gonna win the opener

883
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it's not gonna be close.

884
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: So you've got the Browns in a blowout over the

885
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: over Ben Brown and Bell. That's a lot of bees there.

886
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: I look, but I like blow out. Seven plus points right?

887
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: Seven plus points is a blowout? You do you here

888
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: with that? Ve? Do? I agree that the Browns are

889
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: gonna blow out the Steelers in week one? If I

890
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: would say this, it's possible, It's possible Bell doesn't show up.

891
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to hit that week st Ben Roethlisberger doesn't

892
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: make the trip. U. No, this is not this is

893
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: this Trust me. Having worked for Cleveland, I know how

894
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: this works. The enthusiasm and the excitement. The build up

895
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: is slow and steady, but the fall is quick and sudden.

896
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: And that's to me, what's gonna happen here in Week one?

897
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: All this excitement and I think the Steelers go into

898
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,479
Speaker 1: Cleveland and kind of do what they normally do. Yeah,

899
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm out there. I don't mind. You got

900
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: a new officsive coordinator, new offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh

901
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Steelers leave. Bill probably is going to participate in training camp.

902
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: Takes a while for him to get Look, you go

903
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: back and look, it took him a while for him

904
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: to get his legs. This is a prime opportunity for

905
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns to what's gonna happen. Here's what's gonna happen. Buck,

906
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: And I hate to do this as the Browns fans,

907
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: because I do think the roster is in a lot

908
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: better shape. That got some good players there. But here's

909
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: what the thing. Todd Haley is gonna come runn out

910
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: of tunnel. He's gonna come running out of tunnel, and

911
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna look and go, man, that was my team

912
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: on the right, hm hmm, and I gotta go to

913
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: this team on the left. He's gonna start questioning himself

914
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: a little bit there. And I think he feels good.

915
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: I think he feels like I think he feels like

916
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: he he jumped off the ship at the right time.

917
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: He's on an ascending squad. He maybe the team that

918
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: he was on was descending. And also he has all

919
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: the intel on your quarterback. You know your quarterback and

920
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: rack this though, make sure we have this racked. We

921
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: can bring it back here. I'm a little like a genius,

922
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a guru. I got this. I'm good. I'm

923
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: good on this one. I know I got this one.

924
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: Um all right, Chiefs Chargers, big game here, uh a

925
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: f C. West. We're rolling out to Ferrari. That's I've

926
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: heard so many people refer to pets Pat Maholls. We're

927
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: rolling them out. We're gonna see um baby bread forv

928
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: in a red uniform against the l A Charges and

929
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: this could be an outstanding debut for him in terms

930
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: of being the fours. I'm started for the Kan City Chiefs.

931
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: I like what they've done offensively, Sammy Watkins, Tyree Hill, Uh,

932
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. They have Kareem Hunt coming back. But it's

933
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: all about the quarterback. Can the quarterback take care of

934
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: the ball, get the ball to the playmakers. We'll see

935
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: the LA Charges defense is lower. Those pastors are coming

936
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: off the edge. But you know, the Charges a notorious

937
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: slow starters. This might be the right time for Pat

938
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes to get him. I'm just saying, keep your on,

939
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. Everyone's talking thing the Pat Mahomes. We're gonna

940
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: be talking about that we're gonna be talking about Tyreek Hill,

941
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about Sammy Watkins. When I look at the

942
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 1: key to this game, just looking at the matchup, way

943
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: way too early. The Chiefs gotta get the gotta get

944
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: Kelsey going, because that's the one who could give the

945
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: Chargers some trouble. We look at the Chargers, they're trying

946
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: to find some weakness on this defense, which is stacked.

947
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you look at that linebacker position, being able to

948
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: cover a tight end could could be a little bit

949
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: of a concern there. But you also have to look

950
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: at the fact that, hey, we went out drafted Derwin James.

951
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what he was drafted for. Maybe that's a situation.

952
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna say, hey, Kelsey's yours and we've got three

953
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: four first first game, we're gonna lock him up on

954
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: Travis Latch. Look, this is gonna be two of the

955
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: big storylines and options. How how great this Chargers defense

956
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: could be with what they've done in the talent they have.

957
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: And then the Chief's offense. Man, it's it's good on good.

958
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun to watch. How about Seahawks Broncos

959
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: m hmm, I think I'm gonna take I'm gonna take

960
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks angle. I'm curious to see what this offense

961
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: looks like with Brian Schottenheimer. Brian Schottenheimer takes over everything

962
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: that you're hearing from Seahawks Land. You know, we're getting

963
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: back to bakes as, we're going back to our old identity.

964
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: We're gonna be Give me your confidence level on that

965
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense right now, no matter what the scale is,

966
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say zero. So whatever you put it on,

967
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: one to ten, one, one hundred, I don't have a

968
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: lot of confidence. I just don't have a lot of

969
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: confidence in the play call it because we've seen this,

970
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: like I saw him when he was a play caller

971
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: with the l A. Rams Uh. It's gonna be a

972
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: lot of verbage, a lot of stuff. Did do a

973
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of motion and stuff. But I wondered about the production.

974
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: I also wonder when it comes to being able to

975
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: to turn back the clock and be what they once were.

976
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're built like that. I don't

977
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: know if they're built to be a rugged team that

978
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: can run and kind of mash people. I don't think

979
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: their offensive line necessarily is constructed to do that, and

980
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: then we'll see if for show Penny can do it.

981
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: I liked him coming out of San Diego State. I

982
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: just don't know if he's a Marshawn Lynch type. Let's

983
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: see how they choose to use the toys. But yeah,

984
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the Seattle Seahawks offense and I'm also

985
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 1: worried about their defense because they have lost a lot

986
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: of talent the last few years. I don't know if

987
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: they can be back to that team that wants lorded

988
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: Over Division. We'll see if Ken Norton can find a

989
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: way to get him back. To me, this Seahawks team,

990
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: Bucky is a is a roster. It's a It's a

991
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: six and ten roster with a twelve and twelve and

992
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: four quarterback. So what does that give you? I don't know,

993
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean to me, I don't know. You talked about

994
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: the verbage in the offense is how long does it

995
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: take to say scramble in the huddle? Because that's kind

996
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: of what they're gonna be doing here. I just I

997
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: don't think a personnel is very good. But the quarterback

998
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: is is a special talent and he covers up a

999
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: lot of that so he does cover. Say, I went,

1000
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: would you be shocked to this team at five and eleven?

1001
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: Would you really be shocked? No? I just wrote down

1002
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: on the paper eight and eight like it got me

1003
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: wining and crying back here. Uh, he does you know,

1004
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: let's get let's get to the next one. Here. Your

1005
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Panthers. Uh, the team that doesn't get

1006
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: enough recognition. I'm not gonna talk about I'm gonna take

1007
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: the Panthers team. Uh. It's about Cam Newton and what

1008
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: he does with North Turner. North Turner is intent on

1009
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: making this guy a high percentage pastor can he get

1010
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: him to sixty six? That's something that Cam doesn't really

1011
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: typically do. So how did they change their offense to

1012
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: build around Cam while making it more efficient? They have

1013
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: some better playmakers on the outside. Uh, you think about

1014
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: bringing over a DJ Moore. You have Devin Funch is

1015
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: kind of settling into his road, Greg Olsen is still there,

1016
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: and then you have Christian McCaffrey another year. How did

1017
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: he utilize him out the backfield? It's about Cam Newton

1018
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: making plays, being efficient, being effective from the pocket. To me,

1019
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: this is the first official game of the DAK Prescott Cowboys. Now,

1020
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: I know he started a bunch of games for them,

1021
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: but when you look at what's gone, Tony Romo obviously

1022
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: has gone. He survived Tony Romo. Now you look at

1023
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: team leaders, offensive leaders, Jason Witten, guys like Dez Bryant,

1024
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: these veterans are all moved on. This is Dak Prescott's

1025
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: team and this is his first chance to kind of

1026
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: show off what that team looks like. So I'm anxious

1027
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: to see him what that Cowboy offense. Uh. You know,

1028
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: we you've talked about it a bunch in terms of

1029
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: kind of the no name receiving corps. Can he can

1030
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: he elevate their play? This would be interesting to see

1031
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: what Dak Prescott gives us here against a group that's

1032
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: pretty darn good and the Panthers on the defensive side

1033
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: of the ball, especially Redskins Cardinals, Reskins, Cardinals. They brew

1034
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: the debut of Alex Smith as Smith taken on a

1035
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense. The other thing, the Cardinals defense is going

1036
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: to be pretty good. But the weapons that the Redskins

1037
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: have surrounded around Alex Smith, I think he has an

1038
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to continue to play at the level that we

1039
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: saw last year in Kansas City. Uh, Josh Dawson should

1040
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: be a stud in this league. Jamison crowd of being

1041
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: able to work underneath. But really the focal point of

1042
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: their offense is gonna be the running game in Darius Guys.

1043
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: We're here in good reports from Darius Guys. Uh. The

1044
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: way he's able to run inside and outside, he's gonna

1045
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: be a bell cow. For them to get him in

1046
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: the second round was a huge steal. Um. He is

1047
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: the best running back that they've had since Clinton Porters.

1048
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what the offense looks like

1049
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. I'm excited to see what Steve Wilkes

1050
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: has this team looking like at this point early in

1051
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: the season. First game, are they ready to go? The

1052
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: return of David Johnson. So much talk about who's gonna

1053
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: play quarterback is at Sam Bradford? Uh? Is it? Josh Rosen?

1054
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: To me, the return of David Johnson will be a

1055
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: huge storyline in that game. We got a couple more here,

1056
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: Let's get through him here. Bears Packers, Bears, Packers. I'm excited.

1057
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: I should be at that game. It's alumni night for

1058
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: the Packers, the one hundred season of the Green Bay Packers.

1059
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I should be in the building. I want

1060
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: to see them take on the bitter rivals of Chicago Bears.

1061
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: Uh for the Bears, we talked about it early. Worst

1062
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: of First, I want to see this offense. I wanna

1063
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: see what Mr r Bisky looks like against a Mike

1064
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: Petting defense that is poised to be more aggressive, more

1065
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,240
Speaker 1: of an a textile defense that we've seen in Green Bay.

1066
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: How does the young quarterback fair against the defense that

1067
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 1: is intent on knocking him around selfishly? With the Packers.

1068
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: For me, I want to see that this trio of

1069
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: rookie receivers, can any of them get on the field

1070
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: and make some place here? Jamon Moore, Uh, you look

1071
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: at Marquez Valdez Scantling from u University of South Florida,

1072
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: and then Equamenius st. Brown, who's big physical target come

1073
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: out of Notre Dame. I know they've got some other

1074
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: receivers already in the roster. I'm looking for one of

1075
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: those three rookies during training camp to emerge, get on

1076
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: the field and make some play. So I'm exesed to

1077
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: find out which one of those guys steps up to

1078
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: the plate for the Packers, Jets, Lions. This is the

1079
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: first of the double header on Monday night. Man jessin Lions.

1080
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: That's that's that's an interesting game for the Detroit lines. Uh.

1081
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford Uh the continued uh emergence in the connection

1082
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: that he has with Jim Bob Cooter. How can they

1083
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: get this offense going? Can carry and Johnson get on

1084
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: the field and give them a one hundred yard Russia.

1085
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: If they can get any similness of a running game,

1086
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: it will help them and help them so much. Really

1087
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: take the blanket off the passing game, and we can

1088
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: see the Lions kind of be able to play control

1089
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: the action football, meaning they possess the ball, they control it. Uh.

1090
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: They do some things that allows their defense to rest

1091
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 1: up on the sideline. Let's see if they can get

1092
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: just enough from their running game to offset what they

1093
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: need to get done in the passing game to help

1094
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: their defense survive. How about the return of Chucky Jon

1095
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: Gruden on the sideline for the Oakland Raiders. That's gonna

1096
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: be fun to watch. What does this team look like?

1097
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: You talked about um his mission to try and go

1098
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: back in the time machine here and go back and

1099
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: play the game the way it was played a while back.

1100
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: And this team be a physical, smash mouth team. Car

1101
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: gonna look like you know, it's gonna be. There's gonna

1102
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: be a lot of things. This is like this of

1103
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: all the teams in the NFL. Uh, this is a

1104
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: great mystery to me. What the Raider is gonna look

1105
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: like a great mystery because no one has any idea

1106
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: how the Raiders will look. Uh, he's talked about taking

1107
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: it back. Uh, They're gonna bring the full back back.

1108
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: They want to be physical. They're gonna go back and

1109
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: kind of play some two back straight I formation. I

1110
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: want to really watch and see what their relationship is

1111
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: like with him and Derek carr Um, Is he a

1112
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: will to take a young quarterback and do it? Because

1113
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: remember he is psycled through a ton of quarterbacks to

1114
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: win his time, Uh, first at Oakland, then during his

1115
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: time at Tampa Bay never really settled into a young

1116
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: quarterback that he liked, always had a preference for veterans.

1117
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: How does he get along with a younger Dairy carr

1118
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: Can they find kind of dead middle ground that allows

1119
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: them to play? Well, that's that game against the Rams,

1120
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: the second of that double header, and that Rams team.

1121
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: Will Aaron Donald be there to harass Derek Carr will

1122
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: be a big storyline there for the Rams. And then

1123
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: can they take another step? That offense most improved in

1124
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: the league last year with McVeigh doing wonders with Jared

1125
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: Goff and Todd Gurle and company. Is there more room

1126
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: for them to grow? Brandon Cooks comes in there to

1127
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: replace the Sammy Watkins, all those new pieces in that

1128
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: secondary Dominican Sue joining that defensive front. I mean, this

1129
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: is a this is a Rams team to kind of

1130
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: put all their chips in. What do they look like

1131
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: against Johan Gruden's Raiders in that in that Monday night

1132
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: or will be fun to watch? Yeah, we'll be fun

1133
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: to watch. It'll be exciting. Um, A lot of people

1134
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: are excited about what they want to do. Uh in

1135
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: the black hole? Man, I can't wait to see it.

1136
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to see the Rams because I

1137
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: think the Rams is gonna be good. I want to

1138
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: see what Brandon Cooks asked at offense. We've got Jets

1139
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: at Lions. We'll see if sam Donlan starts at quarterback

1140
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: for the Jets. That's gonna be fun. The first of

1141
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: those Monday nighters and then Rams Raiders to finish it off.

1142
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: Gonna be fun, uh to finish up that first week

1143
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: that was our way too early storylines there for the

1144
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: NFL season. How about buck on the college thing? I know,

1145
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: runn out of time? Just give me one game here

1146
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: Week one that early on, uh kind of forecast and

1147
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: looking ahead? Is your favorite Week one matchup? What do

1148
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: you got f Au versus? Oh? You whoa Lane Kiffing

1149
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: versus Lincoln Riley? I want to see what Lane Kiffin

1150
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: has up his sleeve. Look, they are debuting the young

1151
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: offensive coordinated Charlie Weiss Jr. Twenty five years years old.

1152
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: He's not calling any plays. Lane's calling all the plays

1153
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinated titles. Look, they are supposed to be

1154
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: kindred spirits when it comes to the way they look

1155
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: at the game offensively. Um, I want to see if

1156
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: they're able to challenge this OU team with some of

1157
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: the schemes that they tried out. So that's one of

1158
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: the things don't look for. But when it comes down

1159
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,720
Speaker 1: to a real game, a real game that I'm watching,

1160
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: how about Auburn versus you do in Atlanta on the

1161
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 1: first and the reason I want to see this. Jared

1162
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: Stidham is one of the top quarterbacks that we have

1163
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: talked about in the run up to the next draft. Well,

1164
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: let's see what he looks like. The one thing that

1165
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: we know is going to happen from Washington. They're gonna

1166
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: be coached up. Well, they're gonna challenge you in a

1167
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: different way. Let's see how the young guy plays on

1168
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: a big stage. Yeah, that's the marquee game. But to me,

1169
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Michigan Notre Dame. And you made your

1170
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: Bowl prediction earlier calling the Browns shot over the Steelers.

1171
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a Bowl prediction, not necessarily in the

1172
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: fact that they're gonna win. Michigan is gonna go to

1173
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and they are gonna blow the doors. Let's

1174
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 1: go off Notre Dame and this is gonna be. This

1175
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be. It's gonna be an apology after the

1176
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: game is over from a lot of the media that

1177
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: have gone after hardball and said, okay, pick, thank you,

1178
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 1: I love that drop. Uh No, Buck, I went back

1179
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: and watch with Sean Gary. You're watching that Michigan defense.

1180
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys that jump out at

1181
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: you they are going to be outstanding down. Brown is

1182
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: a great job with that group. They're very talent, a

1183
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: lot of people back. And then you look at the

1184
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: quarterback in shape Patterson. I think it's the best quarterback

1185
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: that Jim Harball will have had there at Michigan. I

1186
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: think this is a statement game, I really do. I

1187
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: think they go in their Notre Dame win Bush to

1188
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: me and consistent as a passer going up against that defense.

1189
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: I think they turn it over a bunch, and I

1190
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: think this gets ugly with Michigan winning that ball game.

1191
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm all on the Michigan hype train this year, so

1192
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: I'm what they're gonna be good man. I'm telling you,

1193
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: everybody all over the last year team the year before,

1194
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: I lost everybody, hi them a lot of excitement back there.

1195
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: My god, I'm talking about blowouts. I got up, up

1196
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: and down. That's my call. There are some games though, Alabama, Louisville,

1197
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: you know what, l s U, Miami v. Tech f
