15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: late window was decent.

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: Now Bill's got to win. I'm wearing some Buffalo Bill's

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: colors today.

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Just for you Cowboys tonight, you know, with their favorite

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: now by three and a half, with Kyler playing a role?

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: Is that a soft benching? By the way, what is

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: that kind of isn't it? Is he healthy?

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: No?

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: I think he is.

24
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: I thought he was a first as quarterback. All right,

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: here we go on Monday. Colin Wright, Colin Wrong plenty

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: of both. Where Colin was right, I said, when Sam

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Donald gets drafted, I said, he's not Andrew Luck, but

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: he's like eighty eighty five percent of Andrew Luck. Tough, athletic,

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: big arm. PFF has him number one third in the

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: passer rating. Nobody can work with a Jets. That's Siberia.

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looked one hundred years old with the Jets.

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: Look at him now. The bottom line is Sam Donald

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: needed a better fit. He's just too damn talented to

34
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: not make it in this league. And he was sixteen

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: for sixteen in the first half. I said, not Andrew Luck,

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: but his comp is somewhere close to Andrew Luck, and it.

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: Looks like it. Where Colin was wrong.

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: I thought Kansas City was the best team in the league.

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: But it's weird when these two teams play. I feel

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: like what happened in the game. Before the game, they're

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: playing ten times, they've met, they're five and five, gave

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: up four hundred yards, could not protect mahomes. It felt

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: like from the first series on, Buffalo had better energy,

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: better focus, and a better game plan.

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: That's all. Okay, I've been saying this.

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Stop telling me about the Steelers defense. Who cares, it's

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They can't run the ball, the offensive line,

48
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: pass protections rated very mid. Everybody wants to tell me

49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: about this defense. This team's going as far as Aaron

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to take him. Nine different guys caught

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the ball tied for third and touchdown passes. I'm telling you,

52
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: he has not played this well in my opinion, since

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: his MVP season. He is moving way way better than

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: he did in New York. This team is Aaron Rodgers.

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: It's not Tomlin, it's not the defense. It's Aaron and

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: right now he's playing like a top ten.

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: Quarterback where Colin was raw.

58
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: I love Matt Lafleur, but this team in Green Bay

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: has no identity, and that's on the coach. They're fifth

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: in rushing attempts, but twenty fourth in yards per carry.

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: They want to run, they're not good at it, and

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: now Tucker Craft's gone for the year. I always worry

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: about teams and when they don't have an identity, They've

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: just got a bunch of good players. I mean they've

65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: lost to Cleveland, Carolina and ty Dallas. This isn't a

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: lack of talent, it's a lack of knowing what they

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: are and that's hard to create, sometimes harder to maintain.

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: But I do.

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: Feel like the compass is off and Green Bay's offense

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: is a little lost right now.

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: Where Colin was right.

72
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: I said this before Game six and seven. Yoshi is

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: worth every penny because the Dodgers starters there was a

74
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: lot of injury. So he started thirty five games this year. Yeah,

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers starter, their ace is worth three

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: hundred twenty five million dollars. He's an unbelievable talent, four

77
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: and known the World Series, and everybody gets worked up

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: with all the money the Dodgers have, but they're starting

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: pitching this year. I mean they had injuries everywhere Glass

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: now Snell. So the difference between thirty five million, you

81
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: go four and O in a World Series and went

82
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: back to back. He has mostly paid for himself. Where

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Colin was right, Howie Roseman GM and the Eagles does

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: it again. He just landed Jalen Phillip from Miami, good

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: edge rusher for a third round pick. Now he's a

86
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: pending free agent. If he leaves, they'll get a compensatory

87
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: third round pick. So I've said for years aggressive wins

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: in sports, and everybody's talking about the Philadelphia offense. They're

89
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: twenty third in sacks. This is what separates Philadelphia from

90
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the Cincin.

91
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: Of the world. They are willing.

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: They are on call three hundred and sixty five days

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: a year to make a deal. And this is a

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: deal the day before the deadline, and it solves an

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: issue that nobody's talking about. You better get the stafford

96
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: if you want to beat him, You better get to

97
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: golf if you want to beat him. Philly Howie Roseman

98
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: goes out and makes a deal where Colin was raw.

99
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: I like the commander's direction. I had him winning last night.

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: I had him as a playoff team. I keep waiting

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: for the juice and they don't have it. One of

102
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: the things that worried me. They're the oldest roster in

103
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: the league, the opposite of Seattle or Green Bay. Old

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: rosters get beat up. They're just not very good and

105
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: they're not deep. I think they're much more in a

106
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: rebuild than they wanted to admit coming into the season.

107
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: And I like them based on the hype some confirmation bias.

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: They're not a very good.

109
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: Team where Colin was right.

110
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: I've always loved the Miami Hurricanes, but they're not a

111
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: national brand. And Mario christabal I said earlier this year,

112
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't trust Carson Back. I didn't

113
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: know if I trusted him. Mario Christoval is four and

114
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: eleven in November and later in Miami, and they lost

115
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: again this weekend, this time to SMU Listen. They have

116
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: a small fan base, no home field advantage. If you're

117
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna win national championships, those late season games playing at

118
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: home matters. I love watching them play. But christaball at Oregon,

119
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: his teams were wildly inconsistent, often struggled as favorites or

120
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: near favorites on the road, and this was a.

121
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: Clunker where Colin was right.

122
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Finally, the Philadelphia seventy six ers are five and one

123
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: and not building around Joe lmb. I think I've been

124
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: on this for three years. You can't build a franchise

125
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: around an often injured big. Instead Tyrese Maxi, who J

126
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Mack would confirm. I said it three years ago. This

127
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be a one. He's averaging thirty four

128
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: a game. VJ Edgecombe on fire. They are led by

129
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: their back court. And by the way, the Warriors had

130
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good dynasty led by Theirs. I never bought

131
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: into Embiid. He didn't deliver in the playoffs, he was

132
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: off an injured. He struggled even fitting in with the

133
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Olympic team. I preached it for years. He can be

134
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: a great player, he can't be the centerpiece of a

135
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: championship team.

136
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: Where Colin was right, Where Colin was wrong? On a

137
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: Monday and be sure to catch live editions of The

138
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: Herd weekdays and noon eastern nine am Pacific on Fox

139
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: Sports Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app. Here we

140
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: go on to Tuesday heard Hierarchy. Now go the top

141
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: ten NFL teams according to College number ten.

142
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: My coach of the year is Kyle Shanahan. He's winning

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: with peanut brittle and baling wire and duct tape. They

144
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: have no healthy players forty nine ers or five and

145
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: two with a backup quarterback. Third down offense despite a

146
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: bad offensive line, is top three in the league. Basically,

147
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: the offense is Christian McCaffrey and cross your finger. This

148
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: is one of the great coaching jobs you'll ever see.

149
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: They play the Rams this weekend, who are fully staffed

150
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: and ready to go, and yet it's only a field

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: goal spread. Niners at ten, number nine, Detroit don't always

152
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: loved their coach, lost two of their last three games,

153
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: but they're five and zero when they rush for over

154
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, So it's pretty clear. The key to

155
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: this team when Jared Goff's got an extra beat, when

156
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: they've got the run game. Detroit's a solid franchise. Are

157
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: they a super Bowl winning team? Not as long as

158
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: McVeigh and Stafford are in the NFC and Howie Roseman's

159
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: running the Eagles, in my opinion, Detroit nine number eight.

160
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Listen the Patriots. They're on a six game heater. Drake May,

161
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: my concern, has been sacked twelve times over the last

162
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: two games. That is a problem up front. He's not

163
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: getting great protection. But when Christian Gonzales plays their corner,

164
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: super athletic kid out of Oregon, they are six to oher.

165
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: So there is certainly a way they need to play

166
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: to win, but they're doing it.

167
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: I have him at eight, number seven the Bucks.

168
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna get Bucky Irving back, They're gonna get Chris

169
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: Godwin back. Now, they've got a tough schedule coming up.

170
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: They got the Patriots at Buffalo and at the Rams.

171
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: But they are a team that's living a little bit

172
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: on that borrow time stuff. They have four game winning drives.

173
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't love the way they're winning, but I like

174
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: their swagger and they've been able to win all beat

175
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: up and now they're getting healthier. Tampa at seven, number six.

176
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: I put Kansas City at six. They're all in four

177
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: and one score games. They've got to get Josh Simmons

178
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: is now back after a four game hiatus.

179
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: That will matter a lot the.

180
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Way to beat Kansas City's clear super Bowl or not

181
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: pressure Mahomes. When Mahomes gets hit over seven times this year,

182
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: they're not a good football team. He got to hit

183
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: fifteen against Buffalo. So they rank second in big plays.

184
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: They still have an elite top four red zone offense,

185
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: the best quarterback and coach in the sport. They need

186
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: to solve left tackle. I think with Simmons now will

187
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: don't sell your stock.

188
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: I have them at six number five. I have Denver

189
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: ahead of.

190
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: Them because Denver's got a better offensive line and I

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: love their coach too.

192
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: At Denver's weird.

193
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: They apparently are the greatest fourth quarter team in league history.

194
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: But I will say there's a stat about Denver that's

195
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: really impressive. They have the best offensive line in terms

196
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: of protecting their quarterback from sacks, and yet they lead

197
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: the NFL in sacks. That wears well in cold weather.

198
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: I've got Denver at five.

199
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: Number four.

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Seattle just added a deep threat from the Saints that

201
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: went over Washington. Looked like Ohio State and Youngstown State.

202
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: That was a physical athletic mismatch. Four to NOO on

203
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: the road. Won their last ten road games. Sam Darnold

204
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: advanced metrics. He's the best quarterback in the league this year.

205
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not joking. PFF has them number one two. Their

206
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: defense is young and getting better, three state straight games

207
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: holding people under twenty. They are young, but they have

208
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: an identity. Green Bay's young and doesn't have an identity.

209
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: I like Seattle and Darnold at four, number three. You

210
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: know whoever I put number three loses the next week,

211
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: I'll put Buffalo there. Highest rush percentage in the league.

212
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: I got to give the organization credit. They were too

213
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen reliant. They run the football a lot. I

214
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: think they probably need some help interior d line. They

215
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: have an excellent excellent pass defense, but you can gash

216
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: him on the run. But they took a lead on

217
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Kansas said he forced the Chiefs to throw and Joey

218
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Bosa that's why they acquired him. They've also gotten I

219
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: said this about six weeks ago. I like all three

220
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: of their tight ends. It's a tight end run offense,

221
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: not a receiver offense.

222
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: Number two are.

223
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: The Rams the best coach team in the league. What

224
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: don't they do well? Highest overall grade, highest offensive grade

225
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: by any team according to PFF. Only team to rank

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: top three in virtually everything, the lead penalized team for

227
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: the second year in a row, the number one run

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: blocking team. When you watch them play, it is so

229
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: methodical to watch them play. They do everything well. They

230
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: don't turn it over, And now I love Matt Stafford

231
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: can get a bit reckless now that he's not throwing picks.

232
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I think they are the best team right now in

233
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: the NFC, with one exception. Number one, Howie Rosemans made

234
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: a couple of deals at the trade deadline. I'm gonna

235
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: put Philadelphia one. They're very good in one score games,

236
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: and when Saquon Barkley gets fifteen touches they're undefeated. I

237
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: think the AJ Brown situation kind of gets in the way.

238
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: The only way to puncture a great team is drama

239
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room or a severe injury. So I

240
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: think their last game when Aj didn't play, that was

241
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: their true identity, A power run team. Saquon fifteen touches.

242
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: I think the two best teams in the league right

243
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: now are NFC teams one doing it on roster, one

244
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: doing it on coach and quarterback, and a good defense

245
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Philly one rams two.

246
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

247
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: and noon eastern nine am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app. If you're a Cowboy fan.

249
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Everybody banged on the Cowboys for the Micah Parsons trade,

250
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: and that was the one thing I defended it. It

251
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: gave them flexibility. Just think about this this morning. After

252
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the trade they just did the Cowboys in return for

253
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons got an additional first round pick next year.

254
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Still have two first round picks, Kenny Clark and now

255
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: Quinn Williams. That's six Pro Bowls and less than you're

256
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: paying for Micah Parsons. I said the Micah Parsons deal.

257
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: Do not buy into its devastating. It gives the Cowboys flexibility.

258
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: So Green Bay got Micah Dallas got an additional first

259
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: round pick for this year, so they have two firsts

260
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: and they don't need a quarterback.

261
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: That is huge leverage. They now have Quinn Williams.

262
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: The best rush interior defender in the league, Kenny Clark

263
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: another great guy against the run, and they're paying less

264
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: than they were for Micah. And if you ask general

265
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: managers in the NFL, if you had a choice between

266
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: a dominant interior guy or an edge rusher, you'd take

267
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the dominant interior guy. So now the Cowboys have two

268
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: of them, Quinn Williams and Kenny Clark. Because the interior

269
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: defensive line position is a rare body type. When you

270
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: can get a guy that's six one and a half

271
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: three point thirty and has good feet, God doesn't make

272
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: a lot of those.

273
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good edge rushers.

274
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: There's not many Chris Jones and Aaron Donald's and Reggie

275
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Whites on the planet.

276
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: Ever. With that, Julian Edelman.

277
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: Sundays on Fox NFL Kickoff, All right, trade deadline is interesting,

278
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: So let's revisit this. So a team like the Colts

279
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: get Sauce Gardener, Sauce gout. Jalen Ramsey can be a

280
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: little moody. Things go south, He goes south. But in

281
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: the next six weeks, next five weeks, they faced Drake London, Nicocollins.

282
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: You know they're facing all these number one wide receivers.

283
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: How do you think Sauce Gardener hopefully solving a Colt's weakness.

284
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: What does that new to the chemistry and the room

285
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: in Indy.

286
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: I think the corner positions the one position you can

287
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: bring in and just say, hey, you're gonna guard this guy,

288
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: and I think it's going to benefit them. Sauce coming

289
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: from the environment he was in in New York, probably

290
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: very unmotivated. Yeah he's rich, he's got money, but it's

291
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: tough to lose weekend and week out, year after year.

292
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: And that's what he's experienced his whole career.

293
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: And we've seen flashes of really good corner Now you

294
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: put him on a team that's buying for you know,

295
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: pretty much number one seed, a playoff spot, I bet

296
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: you his attitude changes completely. It reminds me when we

297
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: brought in a key to lead from Tampa Bay.

298
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: I think it was in twenty eleven or twelve.

299
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and instantly made an impact on our team. And

300
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: if he didn't get hurt in thirteen, I think the

301
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: year that we brought him in, we probably would have

302
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: beat the Broncos in that AFC championship. Like, that's how

303
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: big of an impact he had on our team. And

304
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: I think corners, you know, a really good corner. All

305
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: you got to say is hey, buddy, cover three or

306
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: it's cover one. You cover him, And I think he's

307
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: gonna have a great impact.

308
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: On that team.

309
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cowboys when they made the Mica move, My

310
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: take was always Jerry's a deal maker and he's been

311
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: trapped for two years.

312
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: He has no flexibility.

313
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: Quinn Williams, Kenny Clark, and they still have two number ones.

314
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: That feels like, I mean, it's it, you know, this

315
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: jewels to get two elite interior defensive linemen huge.

316
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: I mean that we wouldn't have been the New England

317
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: Patriots if it wasn't for Seymour or will Fork.

318
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: That's right, we had And there's a.

319
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: Bunch of other guys branch And and there's a bunch

320
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: of guys, but the interior part. If you got a

321
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: guy that can take away two gaps, that's tough on

322
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: the run game. And once you start to make a

323
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: team one dimensional and they can't run the football, then

324
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: you can dial up better you know, coverage for your

325
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: secondary and you can get more creatives. So I think

326
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: you know Jerry Jones, he's been in this league for

327
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: a long time and he's put out a competitive product

328
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: pretty much, you know, as long as I've been around. Yeah,

329
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: they haven't won a Super Bowl, but like you said,

330
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 3: he's got a lot of flexibility.

331
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: Now they got some first rounders.

332
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: Quinn Williams is going to be in that same category

333
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 3: as Sasce Gardner where he's probably gonna up his game

334
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: now that he's a cowboy and he's got a quarterback

335
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: like Dak and he's got an offense that can score

336
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: like their play is gonna raise.

337
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: So I think that's a win win for them.

338
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: So Sam Donald and the Seahawks gave up a couple

339
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: of midpicks for Rashid Shahed, meaning they can move JSN.

340
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: At Ohio State, he mostly played slot because they had

341
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: good sideline receivers, So now they can move JSN mostly

342
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: to the slot where he's you know, I mean, the

343
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: kid's unbelievable. So your takeaway, how long does it take

344
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: for a Donald and Rashid to like connect? He is

345
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: an over the top threat sideline guy, no doubt about it.

346
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: When you've got a guy that can stretch the field,

347
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: the happiest guy in that locker, he's got to be JSN.

348
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you got.

349
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: Another because all the coverage right now is going to JSN, right,

350
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: you know. And once you have a guy that can

351
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: blow the top off, it's gonna take one big throw

352
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: from Sam Donald to Rashid Shiheed over the top and

353
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, that intermediate pass game with

354
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: a bunch of their tight ends that they have and

355
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: Smith and Jigbook is gonna eat all day. I mean,

356
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: that's the number one thing you want. And now that

357
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: you have Smith and Jigba, who could you could put

358
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: him everywhere? So you could have a guy like he's

359
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: kind of like the Rashi rice piece over at the

360
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: Chiefs and then you got Xavier Worthy who's stretching everything

361
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 3: and that's going to.

362
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: Be Rashid Shied.

363
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: So as a guy that ate a lot in the slot,

364
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: anytime you had a guy outside that had speed. Once

365
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: you got one pass on the defense, it changes how

366
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: defenses play you completely.

367
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, people are banging on the Colts for

368
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: giving up two first round picks, one next year, one after.

369
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: It should be noted that thirty percent of the first

370
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: round picks bust. I mean, it's hard to get guys

371
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: right in this league. And even if you do get

372
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: them right, they very rarely hit early. Generally it takes

373
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman or a left tackle, it takes him

374
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: a year in this league. The Colts going for it, though,

375
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: is telling me Daniel Jones is our guy. Now that's

376
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: much easier for me to embrace in Seattle with Darnald

377
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: Donald right now, Analytically, the metrics says the best quarterback

378
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: in the league, Donald looks like a number one. The

379
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: Colts are telling you with this move, we don't need

380
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: a quarterback. We think Daniel is it watching the Colts?

381
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: Do you buy that?

382
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: I do buy that right now.

383
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: I mean the Colts for the last few years have

384
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: been a quarterback way. Joe Flacco had him pretty competitive

385
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: a couple of years back. Then they bring in Jacoby Brissett,

386
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: and you know, Daniel Jones had that little stint over

387
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: in Minnesota, got to learn see how this West Coast

388
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 3: operation goes. And then Shane Stiken has that kind of

389
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 3: same system and that confidence is showing on the screen

390
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: each week with Daniel Jones. And I remember going and

391
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 3: seeing him in New York and it was just a

392
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: walk through type practice.

393
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 2: And you watch Daniel Jones.

394
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: First off, he's a big guy, yes, and you watch

395
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 3: him throw the ball and the ball comes off his

396
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: hand and it's sexy and he looks like a quarterback

397
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 3: and it just you know, and it never just it

398
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: never worked out for him for whatever reason. I mean,

399
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: the pieces around him. And so once you see him

400
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: in your system doing well like Shane Sikin is doing,

401
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 3: you have I mean, that's gonna be your guy. And

402
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: he's got some experience and he's still a young guy,

403
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 3: and so you know, I think the sauce trade tells

404
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: you that they're all in for this year. And rightfully

405
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: so they're playing really good football in the AFC is

406
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: kind of all over the place right now.

407
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

408
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: So you Bill's Chiefs have played ten times, they've split

409
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: it a five. I looked at that lost by Kansas

410
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: City in My take was they trailed by a touchdown

411
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: and had the ball late, and they got worked. They

412
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: got worked in the red zone, they got work, time

413
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: of possession, they got Mahomes got hit fifteen times. Did

414
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: you ever have a rival that beat you in the

415
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: regular season but in a weird way you came out

416
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: of the game flying home thinking, listen, they exhausted, they

417
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: threw everything they had.

418
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: Us, we're the better team. Probably one of those Denver

419
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: or Baltimore teams may have.

420
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: Beat us, and then we always saw them a lot

421
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And with this game shows me, you know,

422
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: in week nine or week eight, is that the Kansas

423
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: City or the Buffalo Bills are just further ahead than

424
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs right now because when they play next,

425
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: if they play next, they're going to be completely different

426
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: teams because of the season, because of you know, a

427
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: couple of players stepping up and creating name from themselves

428
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: in these next three four weeks injuries.

429
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: So we just take from this game.

430
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: Look, Buffalo, last time playing the Chiefs in Old Orchard,

431
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: you know, on a two game skid, they needed this win.

432
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: They're not afraid of playing Kansas City, and they just

433
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: were on their game, and they.

434
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 2: Rushed the ball very well with Cooks, and you look

435
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: at the Chiefs. They couldn't get anything going on the

436
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: offense side of ball, and Patrick Mahomes at his worst

437
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: game of the year.

438
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 3: So this is gonna happen. But by no means do

439
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: I think that this affects the Chiefs the next time

440
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 3: they play, because there'll be a completely different team when

441
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: they play.

442
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Games with Names is his podcast. It's exceptionally He's on

443
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: Fox NFL Kickoff. It's Julian Edelman on a trade deadline Tuesday.

444
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: Great stuff, Jills appreciate it.

445
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Herd weekdays

446
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: and Neon Easter not a Empacific. So here we go.

447
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: Here's this week's Blazing five. Let's blaze it off, Fire

448
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: it up. It's Collins Blazon Fox Felkins at Colts.

449
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: I like the Colts in Berlin minus five and a half.

450
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: Don't overreact to the Steelers' loss. They lead the NFL

451
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: at six point three yards of play. They haven't lost.

452
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: If Jonathan Taylor just russes for ninety yards, they have

453
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: the number two total offense. And Daniel Jones on the

454
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: road had a stinker five turnovers against Pittsburgh. Even good

455
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have bad weekends. I love the Colts. I love

456
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: what Sauce Gardner does to the locker room. The Falcons

457
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: are on a three game losing streak. They've been out

458
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: gained in all of their games. They're the worst third

459
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: down team over the last two games, so they are regressing.

460
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: I think get to bounce back for the Colts. I

461
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: like Indy here, Atlanta's struggling to score. Indy to win

462
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: and cover thirty three twenty four Ravens and Vikings. I'm

463
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: gonna take the Ravens coming off extra rest averaging thirty

464
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: two a game when Lamar plays. I don't know if

465
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: you've noticed this. Lamar's having an unbelievable year. He'd be

466
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: the MVP if he'd been healthy, and the defense in

467
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: three straight games now healthy, holding people under twenty points.

468
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: Lamar's averaging seventy three completion percentage this year in a

469
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: one to thirty seven passer rating.

470
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: He's on fire.

471
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: The Vikings have been out gained in back to back games,

472
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: including the win over Detroit, and they're allowing thirty a

473
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: game in their last three games, so again, a regressing

474
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: Minnesota defense, which is on the field too long. Lamar

475
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: owns the NFC Ravens win and the Ravens cover. It's

476
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: an urgent week for Baltimore and next week in the

477
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: week after thirty to twenty.

478
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Be more Patriots aid Buccaneteers.

479
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: I like the Bucks minus two and a half coming

480
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: off of buye and their right tackle returns. Their last

481
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: two wins have been by double digits. They're a very

482
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: good home team, twenty eight a game at home, getting

483
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: slightly healthier. My concern, though, is the Patriots, who have

484
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: played the easiest schedule in the league, and I think

485
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: we're a little hot on.

486
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: A young New England team.

487
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: Drake May is getting sacked at an alarming rate.

488
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: Watch out Todd Bowles. JMAK knows this.

489
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: He dials up the blitzes he and Brian Flores as

490
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: well as anybody. So since week seven, Drake May is

491
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: under duress. I like the Bucks at home to win

492
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: and cover twenty seven to twenty three, Lions at Commanders.

493
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever taken four straight favorites. I'm

494
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna take the Lions. Do not panic over the Minnesota loss.

495
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: They had more yards, they were better on third and fourth,

496
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: better time of possession. They've won two of their last

497
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: three road games, and they were really last week in division,

498
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: kind of pushed around. When good teams get pushed around,

499
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: it's an angry, focused week of practice. And they are

500
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: getting to the quarterback second in sacks only behind Denver

501
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: Commander's four game losing streak. No Jews just lost Jaydon

502
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: Daniels and they only pressured Sam Darnold on three of

503
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: twenty four dropbacks. That's brutal, So Jared Goff is going

504
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: to have time to throw. Those interior O line injuries

505
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: have mostly been cleaned up. I like the Lions to win.

506
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: I like another favorite here. Thirty three twenty one comfortably

507
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Steelers at Chargers. I'm going to take the underdog Steelers

508
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: plus three. They're four and oher this year when they

509
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: hold their opponents under thirty. Well, the Chargers don't have

510
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: either Tackle Becton's hurt as well. They have four key

511
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: O line injuries. Aaron Rodgers one hundred plus passer rating

512
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: in four or five games, he's found his rhythm. They

513
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: really we held Jonathan Taylor in check. So the Chargers

514
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: are gonna need to throw the ball to win here.

515
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll run and be overly dynamic running.

516
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: And I don't trust this old line. Justin Herbert's got

517
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: one plus picks in three straight games because he's rushed.

518
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: So I think the Steelers defense against the Colts last

519
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: week they pushed around that old line and nobody had

520
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: all year. I'm gonna take the underdog Steelers so far

521
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: is going to be sixty forty Steeler fans, not a

522
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: home field advantage. Maybe seventy thirty Steeler fans. I got

523
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: an upset twenty four, twenty three Aaron Rodgers and the

524
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: Steelers walk out with a narrow win.

525
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: I don't like a lot of favorites I do this

526
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: week
