And Welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. I am 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.600 your host, Travis Wingfield. On today's show, We're back Baby. 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.800 I made a trip out to Orlando for Disney World. 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.640 I watched a lot of football this weekend. We're gonna 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.760 talk about all of that. We're also gonna talk about 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.400 what has worked, what has not worked for the Miami Dolphins, 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.520 and take a look at what's to come post bye week. 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.320 As we are here, we have gotten through these first 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.800 difficult six weeks and we have twelve more to go. 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.160 The stretch Run from the Baptist Hill Studios inside the 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:03.080 Baptist Hill Training Complex. This is the Draft Time Podcast. 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.920 I think the big news of the day comes from 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.679 head coach Mike McDaniel's press conference when he did say 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.399 that we will see the return of Tuatunguavailoa at some 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:13.319 point this year. 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:13.560 Now. 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.160 Adam Schefter has been reporting and other guys of what 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.679 as well that it sounds like he'll be back for 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.679 the Cardinals game. I think every single Dolphins fan collectively 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.880 shares this thought that I've been telling my friends and 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.240 Coharts and all those things people we talked about this 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.560 game and this team and this sport, is that if 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.840 you can beat Indy, find a way to beat Andianapolis 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.520 and get to a back for the Cardinals, kind of 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.000 feels like maybe season back on at that point, right. Otherwise, 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.120 if it's two and four, he doesn't come back to 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.080 the Cardinal game, you get the Bills on tap. Like 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.360 these next couple of games are gonna kind of tell us. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.199 I think how the final part of the season goes, 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.320 and that will be what today's show is about is 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.480 kind of about how more now, more now so than ever. 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.600 Like the early part of the year is all about 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.920 like what it does to your win lost total. It's 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.160 not very informal about what teams are. I think we're 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.960 starting to get that clarity. I think that clarity will 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.760 crystallize as we go forward. But then you also get 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.960 injuries because every year, I you know, I do the 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.400 NFL schedule predictor and even when you try to do 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.800 them in week thirteen or we like they're always off, 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.280 So this game is impossible to predict. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:19.200 I think you have. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.880 Someone asked me today what happened? What's going on with Jacksonville, 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.239 And it's like, it's a good roster, it's plenty of 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.200 good players in that team. Sometimes just doesn't work. And 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.880 I don't really know what to tell you. I mean, 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.679 you did hear Andre Cisco say that he fiels that 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.360 there's a lot of quit on the Jags team, and 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.240 you got Doug Pears I'm talking about how they have 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:36.880 to change the culture in October. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.639 That's not great. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.519 So I guess I've just spent a lot of time 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.200 this season, you know, absent a Dolphins game or absent 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.280 Dolphins wins over the last five or four or five 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.200 weeks here besides the Patriots game. That just kind of 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.000 trying to like see how I view the league in general. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.079 And that's why you're getting these kind of you know, 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.320 extended monologues here about about the league and the sport 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.880 and the podcast and all that stuff. 0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:01.919 So I do want to kick off the show with this. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.760 I saw plenty of comments on me socials, whether it 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.440 was Instagram, DMS, or just flat out telling me on 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.720 Twitter that you guys were very happy that we actually 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.480 did get out to Disney World, and I really appreciate 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.960 those comments. We did end up going. I had to 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.839 have the conversation on Wednesday with my daughter. We ripped 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.880 that band aid off and the little face she makes 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.800 where the corners of her mouth go down to the 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.000 jawline and just kind of that poudy face, Like you 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.360 know how kids kind of react to your emotions more 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.360 so than the information you give them. Like she knew 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.720 we were being somber and was just sad about the 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.920 fact that we were being somber. I don't think it 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.960 really hit her that we were not going to the 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.800 Princess Castle, as she calls it, because she was happy 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.000 the rest of the like the next twenty four hours. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.880 But then and after I made a tea time on 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.840 Friday morning with actually Adam Beasley and. 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:49.920 Chris Perkins here on the beat. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:55.240 Woke up on Thursday and there was no wind in 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.000 South Florida and it was supposed to be like windy 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.200 all day long, and I'm like, hey, I don't think 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.440 it's going to be a problem driving up there. And 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.840 we you know, we had a connection to Disney that 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.320 got us into the park, and he was like, they're 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.280 going to open on Friday. They're not gonna open Thursday, 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.240 but they'll be open Friday. And best the best part 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.000 about that is you're probably gonna have a less than 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.560 crowded park because people aren't gonna get out there for Friday. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.800 And so we were looking at that. We're looking to 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.080 possible drive up. The hotels were not booking rooms for 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.200 the most part on Thursday, but eventually, after my wife 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.560 spent lots of time on the phone and looking at 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.960 through different websites, we got a hotel. We stayed at 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.800 the spring Hill Suites on Palm Parkway there right by 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.880 the park, and like beautiful hotel. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:35.440 Loved it. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.320 They had the game room downstairs, they had you know, 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.120 happy hour from mom and dad. Just a really cool spot. 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.080 We got out there and got to tell her on Thursday, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.240 Hey we're going to Disney World today, and it was 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.520 just fantastic. Got a chance to meet up with a 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.279 long not long lost, but a buddy of mine. You 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.400 guys probably see him comment on the podcast No What's 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.120 Up my Man? He made the recently made the move 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.559 from the Seattle area back down to his home turf 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.880 down in the central Florida area, had dinner with him 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.400 on Thursday, and then got to the park on Friday. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.680 And let me tell you, when you feel that cool 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.279 breeze that you feel from the Pacific Northwest on a 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.240 October morning in Central Florida, it. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.400 Was like, WHOA, that's pretty great. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.960 The hurricane apparently took the humidity with it out to 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.280 the to the Atlantic Ocean. So Friday was elite man 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.320 Hollywood Studios Park, went to Epcot and I tweeted about this. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.560 The beer at Epcot is delicious. It reminded me of 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.159 that scene. And it's always sunny when their rival bar 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.600 across the street or whatever, or one of the rival bars. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.640 It's not not the not the flip cup one, but 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.000 the other one. When they are they're enriching these beers. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.560 That's an enrich beer. They are putting enriched whatever in 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.159 their beers. Do you think there's a pirates lives in 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.920 that room back there? I see a door marked Private Charlie. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.640 That's what reminded me of. Those beers were delicious. I 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.200 had one at the UK Place, one at the Mexican 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.600 Place like a Mexican like a Mexican logger was delicious, 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.839 and then I got one later on too after And 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.240 let me tell you, Travis doesn't do a lot of 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.039 drinking anymore, So three beers fill pretty good walking around 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.560 Epcot and what a cool spot to just kind of 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.599 walk in people watch. So that was a great day 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.360 Saturday to Magic Kingdom. Woof, dude, freaking woof. First of all, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.600 going with a kid that kids that can't do any 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.680 of the fun rides, that's the whole payoff of going 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.039 to Disneyland, right besides seeing your kids just light up 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.720 the whole time. But we were in long lines, it 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.240 was hot as hell. We couldn't get a spot for 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.000 the parade because Cameron just refuses to be like contained 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.279 within a small space. Caroline can handle her stuff, Cameron cannot, 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.400 and so we couldn't reserve a spot on the curb 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.839 and I had to throw Caroline up on my shoulders 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.320 in like real field ninety eight degrees and stand there 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.480 for twenty minutes with her on my shoulders. It was 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.240 it was a struggle. And this was after a fifty 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.880 minute wait going into the Haunted Mansion, which probably a 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.839 mistake to take a four year old to the Haunted Mansion, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.599 but it's like my childhood, like nostalgia kicking in. Had 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.200 to get to that ride. And my two year old 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.880 son had a one of those bubble machines because that's 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.279 all they saw throughout the course of the park, and 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.599 they got it on Saturday morning and he was playing 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:57.880 with that thing and we had to take it out 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.520 of his hands in the line because you can just 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.400 going to the ride with bubbles, and for thirty minutes 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.800 he proceeded to just lose his mind. But then also, hey, 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.080 adults that go to Disney World that get mad about 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.680 kids crying? You doing with your life? What are you 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.080 doing with your life? We had a woman tell Cameron. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:16.320 To shut up. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.920 It's Disney World, lady, you're the weird one here. So 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.720 Saturday was a struggle, but I will say Caroline's face 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:29.040 lighting up seeing all the princesses, all of the experiences. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.880 You know how kids will will lie to you and 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.040 just tell you whatever they say. Like I'd made sure 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.760 to ask her several times, what was your favorite part 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.120 of the day, what's your favorite part of the trip, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.560 And she kept saying getting pictures with the princesses. We 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.960 have pictures with Ann and Elsa, a picture with Ariel, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.920 picture with Cinderella, a picture with Mawana. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.680 She is just giddy about it. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.280 In fact, she's probably telling all of her friends right 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.560 now at school about the great weekend she had. So 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.600 that was fantastic. Sunday went to the Animal Kingdom. The 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.760 Safari was awesome. I think that's the best park in 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.760 the entire park for me, the best part of the park, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.520 I should say God. Spend just the half a day 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.200 there because wanted to get home and you know, get 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.520 our kit ready for the week. Got a chance to 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.200 just watch Sunday Ticket while my drive wife drove us home, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.080 which that never happened, so that was great to see. 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.960 And we finished the weekend with Caroline throwing up all 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.480 over herself right around Palm Beach in the car seat 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.240 on the way home. So a very eventful weekend. We 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.080 got to go to Disney World and it was just 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.360 a weekend worth of memories made and I'm so thrilled 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.280 about it. Got a chance to I pulled my phone 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.880 up and went through all the photos put on the 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.280 TV for a slide show on Sunday night, and they 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.360 watched that and it was just really special. Man, So 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.160 highly recommend it probably wait until your kids are like 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.520 in the your youngest at at four years old. Because 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.520 Caroline was good, Cameron not so much at the park. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.160 So that was the weekend at Disney World. But uh man, 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.760 speaking of Sunday, some bad football. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:45.800 Huh. 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.080 This whole too high thing, and it's more than that. 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.720 It's not just playing too high prevents high scoring games. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.040 We've covered that at length here on the show. But 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.319 you really see the lack of explosiveness dictating or a 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.440 lack of explosive plays, I should say, dictating a certain 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.320 type of game. Like I feel like so many games 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.280 now and I say this on the heels of a 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.480 Bucks in Saints game that was what was it, thirty 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.240 one to twenty seven a half time, But I feel 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.080 like so many games are like seven to nothing with 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.080 five minutes to go in the second quarter, or seven 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.640 three up against a two minute warning, or six to three. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.640 The Ravens and Commanders game was like three to three 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.480 late in the second quarter, and if the Giants could 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.240 do anything against the Bengals at all, Cincinnati is one 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.760 and five right now. That's why I'm kind of leaning 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.280 into this idea that even going back to like the 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.600 last couple wins before this one. I kind of think 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.480 that the the Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson pairing in 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.480 the backfield for the Ravens is gonna put them into 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.240 the super Bowl this year. I think that's gonna finally 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.120 get him over the hump to beat the Chiefs in 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.600 the playoffs. We shall see, but I think the Ravens 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.719 have really really carved out their position as the best 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.160 team in the NFL right now. That's how I view that, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.160 even at four and two, even over the Vikings and Chiefs, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.400 who are both unbeaten. I think the rookies have given 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.880 you this really fun inflection of new quarterback blood in 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:58.240 the league, and I think NeXT's going to be the 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.360 exact same thing. But you know, Jaden Daniels, I told 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.439 you guys when I saw him here, like this guy. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.359 We know about the physical traits, and I was apprehensive 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.280 about his game because of you know, I saw it 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.640 at Arizona State and he was terrible in Arizona State. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.360 But he matured, he developed, he became a technician, an 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:19.480 actual quarterback to pair with that athletic ability. Nothing bothers him. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.160 He's so calm and I'm just so impressed by his game. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.439 He's already a top ten quarterback for me. I think 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.080 Caleb Williams can get there. I think we saw more 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.240 on structure the last couple of weeks in addition to 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.640 all the playmaking that he does. But getting two really 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.120 dynamic rookies into the game or into the league is nice. 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:34.640 As we see. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.720 You know, a lot of quarterbacks fall off and maybe 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.480 not as being replaced them. So a quarterback in the 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.640 league has kind of been down. I think this year. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.520 I'm not sure I see it with Drake May. I 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.640 know he threw for what was the three touchdowns, But 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:46.840 the thing is with him is if he does develop, 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.040 it's probably gonna be too late in New England, right 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.040 Like that team is that is such a bad football team, dude, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.760 Oh man, they have a long way to go. So 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.640 by the time they get things built around him as 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.280 he in year like three, four five, maybe you know that. 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.719 Can you know, look at Sam Darnold, I mean like 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:07.600 they can do that. Bo Knicks, Nope, don't see it. 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.520 There are some flat out awful teams. I mean I 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.080 mentioned the Patriots. The Raiders are the Raiders are headed 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.080 that way. They're one of those teams that you know, 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.880 like rememberhen the colts Hire Jeff Saturday and they got 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.839 that one win bump and then it was just like, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.959 can't even perform the rest of the season. I think 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.679 that's gonna happen to the Raiders this year the rest 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.720 of the way. The Jags are headed that way, Trevor Lawrence. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:27.439 Whoa wo. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.360 But then there's also, like you know, we talked about 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.400 this the last couple of weeks, that nine and eighteen 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.880 that squeaks in and you get the one percent chance 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.600 according to ESPN FPI to make the super Bowl. When 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.040 you do make the playoffs, it's the twenty sixteen Dolphins 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.560 is who I'm talking about. I think my biggest change, 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.079 and you know I always try to alter my perception 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.040 of the league or take in new information and use 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.200 that for my perception going forward in this league over 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.600 the last five years, maybe even just the last two, 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.760 is this realization that those teams are not a whole 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.840 lot different than the six and eleven teams. And like 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.440 I remember, I used to be like, oh, Dolphins went 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:04.520 nine and seven, what do you mean they're not a 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.200 good team? Went to the playoffs? Like, Nah, that wasn't 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.800 a good team. And I say that earnestly, and I 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.400 think if you can, you can see a ton of 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:11.439 these teams around the league. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.080 You know, in fact, let's go ahead and do this. 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.560 Let's go ahead and power rank them, because I think 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.040 that's a good way to kind of tell you what 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.000 I'm talking about. So this first category here is like, 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.640 for lack of a better term, like dumpster fire, cannot 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.040 win a game unless some type of crazy break happens. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.040 And I know these teams have wins against some decent clubs, 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.280 but that was early on. And this is how football 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.120 goes right. The early part of the year is kind 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.000 of weird. It becomes more and more concrete as we 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:39.079 go along. And speaking of that, we are currently thirteen 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.360 and oh on the week, six picks. I have never 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.440 had a perfect week before, so go Bills. I guess 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.160 to get to fourteen and oh on the week, I 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:47.720 don't know because it's one of those games where I 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.480 can't really root for either team. Normally, I am so 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.480 happy to just root for whatever's best for the Dolphins. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.000 That's that's all I care about. I don't that's my 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.600 main reason for watching football. But I don't know what 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.720 is better for the Dolphins because are we fighting for 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.040 the division or for a wild card spot? I tend 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.960 to think it's gonna be more wildcard spot even if 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.200 we get above a threshold that we haven't shown this 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.360 entire year. So that's like down the road. All that said, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.400 I feel like the bottom of the barrel in the 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:19.600 NFL is smaller than it's ever been. But the impact 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.959 of that is there's all these teams in this middle 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.200 portion that just are not good football teams, but they're 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.640 good enough to not be like tear it down operations. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.120 To me, there are three of those right now. They 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.120 are the Jaguars, the Raiders, and the Patriots. And that 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.000 was actually in the wrong order. Patriots, Raiders, Jaguars. Where 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.360 where I put those teams? Or no, sorry, the Panthers 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:47.400 are also in that category. Start over, Patriots, Raiders, Panthers, Jags. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.760 I think everyone else can give you what the Giants 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.680 did against the Bengals on Sunday night or like that 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.720 Chargers Broncos game. I think both of these teams in 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.520 our next category, or both these teams in our next category. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.120 With the teams you know, I suppose you know the 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.360 Saints without car that kind of fit tracks too. Maybe 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.840 even with him can hang around and keep a game close. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.920 But did I ever feel like the Bucks would lose 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.280 that game against the Saints. No. So the next grouping 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.160 to me is I put the Giants off the top 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.800 in here. I just I mean Dangel Jones struggles so much. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.120 I got the Browns next. They are just their offense 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:27.920 can't do anything they got. They got to move off 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.840 to Shohn Watson. It's about time. Titans, Saints, Broncos. I 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.440 just cannot watch those offenses operate and be like this 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.480 is I just you can't trust them. It's gonna be 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.240 a thirteen sixteen, drag them out game. Dolphins are next. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:43.560 This could obviously change like massively, it's going to change 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.120 big time. But until they get to a back and 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.840 that all happens, then I'm gonna keep them in this position. Cardinals, Rams, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.000 and the Rams are more of an injury plague situation 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:58.560 right now. Colts, Bengals, Cowboys, Jets, Steelers, Chargers. Like you 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.200 look at the Giants and the botb netlist in the 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:01.680 Charge at the top of that list. In fact, the 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.080 Seahawks are in there as well. The Giants just beat 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.240 the Seahawks perfect example of that. Like, some of these 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.280 teams are better than other teams, but like, what does. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:11.760 It really mean? 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.520 Like nine to eight versus seven and ten, that's what 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.120 it really is, or you know, six and eleven. I 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.520 just don't think any of those teams are good football teams, 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.040 and they make for bad products to watch. And I'm 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.000 not sure this next group is a lot better than that. 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.240 I think it's a group of teams that would handle 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.680 the dumpster fires, but would probably play a close game 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.200 against that other category as like three and a half 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.240 four point favorites going in. I'm talking about the Falcons, Eagles, Bears, Bucks, Commanders, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.760 and Packers, and even all of those teams have like 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.120 fatal flaws that I don't believe in. So to me, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.080 there are seven teams that stand out from the rest, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.840 those teams that will never lose a game to those 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.200 first two categories. It's just not gonna happen, even though 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.640 we already have had that happen. But from here forward 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.440 and will probably beat the team in the previous tear 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.400 pretty tier, pretty comfortably, and then compete with each other. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.720 These are the teams that have Super Bowl aspirations. In 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.560 my opinion as of today, the forty nine ers are 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.480 still in there even though they're three and three. They're 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.520 gonna get back, They're gonna get healthy, They're gonna be fine. 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.520 The Buffalo Bills, I know they have their own issues. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.680 They've lost too in a row. They've got some defensive concerns. 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.000 Their quarterback gets hurt and doesn't ever miss games, but 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.680 he gets hurt like every game. The Vikings, despite being 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.520 five and zero, I have him in this position right here. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.520 I just think it's going to not go that way 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.320 the entire year, but I think they'll make the playoffs. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.200 The Texans to me are right in there as well. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.600 I think that the defense, that quarterback, that could just 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.760 all really good stuff. The Lions to me look like 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.000 the class of the NFC, which is Wow, what a 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:32.600 world return. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:32.960 Huh. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.040 Then the Chiefs are next, and I have the Ravens. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:35.160 Man. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:36.880 I just think the Ravens are equipped to win in 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.440 this style of NFL. I think they've overcome the fourth 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.120 quarter like collapses they've been showing you, and I think 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.800 they'll get over the hump in the playoffs this year. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.800 That's my first segment. Let's go ahead and take a pause. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.360 Come back and talk about the Dolphins and how this 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.840 all impacts them. Next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:56.760 brought to you by AutoNation. Let's talk about Monday Night 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.760 football here a little bit. This podcast might come out 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.200 today morning, it might come out Monday night, so forgive me. 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.760 I wanted to get ahead of it and just record 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.960 the podcast for you guys, But it might come out Tuesday. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:08.880 I'm just not sure yet. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.280 But either way, that's I want to prepare you for 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.520 that because this next part is going to be presumptive 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:19.040 about the about what's going on here with the Dolphins 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.720 and then the Bills and the Jets. So game tonight, 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.280 a Jets win would create the following standings. Buffalo and 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.600 the Jets would both be three and three, and the 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.520 Dolphins would be two and three, a half game behind 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.240
