Speaker 2: How are My People Doing?

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night, after the forty nine Ers beat the Giants

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: to go to three and zero and while establishing themselves

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: right there with the Cowboys as probably the best team

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL, the Giants struggling at one and two,

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: with a tough stretch of football actually coming up, we

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: will dive into could get ugly before it gets better,

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I'll say you that much with the New York Football Giants,

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: but you know, semi entertaining football game that we will

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: dive into as well as the Dallas Cowboys have a

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: devastating injury at practice today. We will talk about that

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: and a certain coach that if they lose come Sunday

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: might be fired by Monday, and I think many of

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: you probably know who that is. But talk about must win.

23
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: In late September, the Chajas better figure out a way

24
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: to beat the Vikings come Sunday morning, so we will

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: talk about that as well as my man's Stucky talk

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: a little gambling picks for this weekend college football incredible slate,

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: probably better in the NFL. So we talk of any

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: some of the bigger college football games and the lines

29
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: as well as his favorite plays. Come Sunday. You want

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: to get your gamble on. I was kicking myself last

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: week when I didn't hammer hammer the Florida Gators over

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee and the cruise to a victory stuck. He knows

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: where he talking about when it comes to college football

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He's five and three right now, so

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: my man's starting strong. So you want to make some money.

36
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: Listen to Stucky. Let's rock and roll baby before we

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: dive into the game, because I got some takes on

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: the game. Do you want to go to a game,

39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: an NFL game, a college game? You want to go

00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: see Primetime? Do you lift somewhere on the West coast

Speaker 1: you want to see Dion Sanders. Well, here's what you do.

Speaker 1: the game time app promo co John twenty dollars off.

58
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I was diving into Thursday night football. And I've been

59
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: born and raised in Northern California. Dad was a diehard

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: Niner fan. The overwhelming majority of people growing up where

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: I grew up, forty nine er Land, they are the

62
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: equivalent of the Yankees where I'm from. And you know,

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: I came into my own as a sports fan in

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: the early nineties. I missed Joe Montana though I ran

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: into him one time on the street. And if you

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: ever run into a super famous person on the street

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: and you know about their kids, bring up their kids,

68
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: they'll talk to you. Joe's kid at the time was

69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: playing at Washington. Gave me a weird look when I

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: said something, and then I said, how's your son doing?

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: He started bsing with me for like fifteen minutes. It

72
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: was sneaky highlight of my life. But I don't remember

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Joe Montana. I grew up on Steve Young, and I say,

74
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: to this day, the best team I've ever seen, at

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: least that I was definitely rooting for any sport besides

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: maybe the Durant Curry Warriors was the ninety four to

77
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. And you know, speaking of Deon Sanders,

78
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: they signed him for the one season and they dominated.

79
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: They had like fifteen Pro Bowlers. I mean, I think

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: legitimately they had twelve Pro Bowlers. They had like ten

81
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: or eleven All Pros. They had Deon Sanders in the

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: peak of his powers, as well as Steve Young who

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: won the MVP, and they cruised at the Super Bowl.

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: They finally beat the Cowboys. That's the best team start

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: to finish I've ever seen, especially with the forty nine Ers.

86
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: And I've been watching this team very very closely since

87
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: I got out of the league in twenty twelve twenty

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: thirteen range right when Jim Harbaugh took over, and I

89
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: think this is the best iteration of the modern day

90
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers right clearly the only question mark this

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: team has. Christian McCaffrey is freaking incredible. Their defense is awesome.

92
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is probably one of the most unique players

93
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. George Kittle is still really good. Brandon

94
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: Auchtniven play tonight eventually, brand and Ayuk's gonna get ae

95
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract. They have seventh round wide receivers

96
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: in Juwan Jennings and Ronnie Bell, who are good. They

97
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: have Trent Williams, who's a first ballot Hall of Famer

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: at left tackle. This roster is stupid loaded. They have

99
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: one question mark, and it's the quarterback. And listen, he's

100
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: gonna get nitpicked because that's the only thing you can nitpick, right.

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be like, well, you know, uh, Nick

102
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Bosa could be a little quicker of Fred Warner. His

103
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: angles as a tackler could be a little better. No,

104
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: the only thing you have to question is brock Purty, who,

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: last time I checked, does not lose when he starts

106
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: and finishes the game. Obviously, the Eagle game is the

107
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: only time that he's ever started that the team has lost,

108
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 1: so they are still in the position right a little

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo, though brock Purty is much better than

110
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. And listen, brock Purty's not a top ten

111
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, but neither was Jimmy, and they

112
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: were rattling off NFC championship games every single year in

113
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, and then they went

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo. This guy's better

115
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: now if you watch tonight, he does leave some things

116
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: to be desired and to win. In this conference, there

117
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: are three teams that are on a completely different level

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: than anyone else, and I think we would all acknowledge

119
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: if there is not some combination of Eagles, Cowboys forty

120
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: nine ers in the NFC Championship, something fucking nuts has

121
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: happened like that feels inevitable.

122
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: It would take like seventeen injuries for that not to happen.

123
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: Held the New York.

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: Giants, who like the Pittsburgh Steelers, I was banging the

125
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: drom like I think they're gonna be better this year.

126
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw the Cowboys and forty nine Ers

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: play him.

128
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: The score was a lot too little when you combine

129
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: the two, and I would expect the same thing with

130
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles.

131
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: I thought the talent was gonna be a little closer.

132
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: It's not. They're on a completely different level.

133
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: And when the dust settles, the Giants still probably win

134
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: eight nine games or competing for a wildcard spot, and

135
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: they're not that much different than the majority of these

136
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: wild card teams. But I think when you look at

137
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, it's just gonna come down to

138
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: brock Turty and we're gonna get to see in a

139
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: couple weeks. When they played the Dallas Cowboys what it

140
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: looks like. Listen, it was a struggle last year. I've

141
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: said it over and over. It's why I have a

142
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: lot of respect for the Dallas Cowboys because they came

143
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: into that game in at Levi Stadium ready to win it.

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: Defensively, they had a championship defense.

145
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: Just like last year the forty nine Ers didn't go

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, they had a championship defense. It

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: comes down to your offense, right, And in that Cowboy game,

148
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: Dak threw two picks ruined him. In the Niner game

149
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, Brock Purty ripsish elbow.

150
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: In It's over.

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: It's all gonna come down to which quarterback I don't

152
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: think even plays the best, plays the most efficient between Brock, Jalen,

153
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: and Dak. If you're not throwing picks, you're gonna win

154
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: the majority of your games, right. The Cowboys win that

155
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: game against the forty nine Ers. If Dak doesn't turn

156
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: the ball over. You see tonight party who struggles at times,

157
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: who looks like relative to like top quarterbacks. I think

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: the expectations because the team.

159
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: Is so high. He doesn't turn the ball over.

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: So if you're not going to throw interceptions, like I'm

161
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: looking a stat line, I actually think a stat line

162
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: looks a little bit better than his game. And a

163
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: lot has to do with their personnel, because I think

164
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: the way we judge the forty nine ers is their

165
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: team is so well balanced and it's true, but you go, well,

166
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles have the best two wide receivers or the

167
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins have the best two wide receivers, because you would

168
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: say Debo and IU aren't as good as that crew.

169
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: But that's not how I look at it, because really

170
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Deebo is the crew. And I would put

171
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Debo against anybody like they can go with

172
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: AJ and Devonte Smith or Waddle and Hill, because while

173
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's a running back, he can basically at any moment

174
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: flex out in place lot corner, and I think it's

175
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: fair to say now with Nick Chubbs, you know it's sad,

176
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: but his knee, you know, chopped in half. McCaffrey's the

177
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: best running back currently in the NFL. And Deebo is

178
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: really unlike any player, right, It's just he's not a

179
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: normal player. He's basically a hybrid running back wide receiver

180
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: who catches. I mean half his catches are coming on

181
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver screens like it's college, but he takes like

182
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: a third of them forty yards and then he can

183
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: take a slant. He can break like six tackles, do

184
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: a three sixty round. A guy He's just not a

185
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: normal player, right. And he was in a crew of

186
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: guys like two years ago when they all wanted contracts.

187
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, and Deebo Samuel all got paid.

188
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: AJ Brown and DK Metcalf are true outside wide receivers,

189
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: Deebo is a hybrid right, and Christian Kinda is two.

190
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: And they also have George Kittle, they have Brandon Ayuk.

191
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Their offense is just elite. And I was thinking about

192
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: it today and listen, I'm though Bill Belichick historian, and

193
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: trading in the NFL has never been like the NBA

194
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: or Major League Baseball, where star players have consistently been

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: traded in season. It's happened forever in my life in baseball,

196
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: right a CC Sabathia of Verland or whoever get traded

197
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, either their team knows

198
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: they can't resign the guy, or they just get the

199
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: prospects or whatever. It really happened probably in the last

200
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: half decade. That has been very consistent quote unquote star

201
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: players get traded in the middle of the season that.

202
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: I can remember.

203
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: Von Miller because of the outcome, you could argue, arguably

204
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: one of the best trades of all time.

205
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: They traded for a pass rusher.

206
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: I think they gave a second and a third they

207
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, broncos ate a bunch of money and he

208
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: had a sack week seventeen in every playoff game and

209
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: they won.

210
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl.

211
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: But the difference of him and Christian McCaffrey, who tonight

212
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: ties a forty nine er record for twelve straight games

213
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: with a touchdown. The guy that he tied happens to

214
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: go by the name Jerry Rice. So McCaffrey as a

215
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: forty nine er has been a Hall of Fame level player.

216
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he just has, and everyone would agree. I'm

217
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: not saying he's a Hall of Famer, but as a

218
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: forty nine er, it doesn't get any more elite than

219
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: he's been. And the difference between the von Miller trade,

220
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: which did net them a Super Bowl. Von Miller when

221
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: the season ended went to Buffalo because they offered him

222
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: fifty plus million dollars guaranteed. Christian McCaffrey is not only

223
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: was under contract.

224
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: For several years.

225
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: And listen Kyle Shanahan, who's gone on record his favorite

226
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,239
Speaker 1: player as a kid was Christian McCaffrey's dad, Like Christian McCaffrey.

227
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: Whenever he does come up for free agency. We can

228
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: talk shit all we want, and trust me, I'm guilty

229
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: of this, and guilty is probably.

230
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: The wrong word.

231
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: I feel good about the evidence when I I don't

232
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: even want to say talk down, but support teams for

233
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: not giving big contracts to running backs. That will not

234
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: be the case with Kyle Shanahan and Christian McCaffrey. I'm

235
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: not saying it'll be the right move in a couple

236
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: of years. Whenever he pays him, he will pay him.

237
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, if he's healthy, is not going anywhere Kyle Shanahan.

238
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: If Christian McCaffrey was cracked, Kyle Shanahan'd be a crack addict.

239
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: I texted about five people that tonight because.

240
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: Kyle said last week he didn't even realize McCaffrey never

241
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: came out of the game. Now he made a conscious

242
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: effort tonight to rotate other backs in That guy's addicted

243
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: to Christian McCaffrey, and rightfully so. I mean, I since

244
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: I've got out in the league, I just have opinions

245
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: on players. But I watched a ton of college football,

246
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: and when I, you know, say something about a guy.

247
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: For the most part, I've watched them play a ton

248
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: of games, and I watched Christian McCaffrey's college career, and

249
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: I underestimated how good he was gonna be as a

250
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: running back. I thought, you know, I think he'll inevitably

251
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: be in kind of transition to be more like an

252
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Edelman Welker, like an elite slot receiver than a true

253
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: between the tackle running back. And one thing, and listen,

254
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: I've talked to this guy several times about this. He

255
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: won on record the moment he was coming out and

256
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: he pounded the table forever. And it was David Shaw,

257
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: who has an NFL background, who's been around, you know,

258
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: pro style football players for decades, said, I think people

259
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: underestimate how good McCaffrey is as a true between the

260
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: tackles running back, and he was right. I thought about

261
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: it tonight. I don't think the Panthers because I thought

262
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: they were kind of crazy. Wait, you're gonna take this

263
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: guy at eight. You're gonna draftskin top ten.

264
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: And again, I didn't think he was like a fourth

265
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: round pick, but I thought, like, you know, mid twenties

266
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: or something, and they took him an eight, not that

267
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: it was that controversial, but it was definitely a pretty

268
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: bold pick. They nailed it.

269
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Now it didn't totally work out for them because of

270
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: injuries and Cam fell off a cliff, but tough. That's,

271
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, an elite player. I mean, he's a Hall

272
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: of Fame level talent and he's come to the forty

273
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: nine ers and he's completely changed them, like they were

274
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: damn good without him. They're elite with them because their weapons,

275
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: like they're missing Brandon, I you tonight, who cares, doesn't matter,

276
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: don't even notice. And he's not just some random player, right,

277
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Him and Debo are an unstoppable combo. And you factor

278
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: in George Kittle, and then you factor in how good

279
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: their defense is. And let's face it, I don't blame

280
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: and I supported Bosa for holding out right though I

281
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: do think hold ends can be more effective. But listen,

282
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: when you're talking the amount of money these guys were

283
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: talking your business tactics.

284
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: You gotta do what you gotta do.

285
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: But it was pretty clear, like early this season, you know,

286
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: there's a clear high hierarchy, like in quarterbacks of the

287
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: elite guys. It's Parsons, it's Miles Garrett, it's TJ. Watt,

288
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: it's Nick Bosa. Like those guys on any given game

289
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: could have like five sacks. They could just not only

290
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: take over the game, they could go.

291
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Is that I don't like the best player I've ever seen?

292
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: And early on in this season, Michael Parsons looks like

293
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: LT from the mid eighties.

294
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: TJ. Watt looks like JJ Watt in his prime, and

295
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: Nick through the first couple of games didn't look that great.

296
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: And now you're starting to see him just like you're

297
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: starting to see it a little bit, which is understandable, right,

298
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: you miss that much time in training camp. I don't

299
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: care what you're doing on your own in the gym.

300
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: You can't replicate football. You can take VP against Pedro Martinez,

301
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: you can play five on five with nine other NBA guys.

302
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: You can't play football without being with the football team.

303
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: And that's what's scary about this forty nine or team

304
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: is within a month, Nick Bosa is gonna look like

305
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: those other guys.

306
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: It might not even be in a week, it might

307
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: be mid to late October, but it's coming. Well. They

308
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: have one of the best players in the league that

309
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: hasn't really.

310
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: Looked like himself, which makes sense because he wasn't around

311
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: till Week one, so that's coming on. I think the

312
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: Niners listen. The NFC has a bunch of undefeated teams, Washington, Atlanta.

313
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: I think we all know this thing's a three horse

314
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: race unless there's a catastrophic injury with one of the teams,

315
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to watch them all play each other,

316
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Cowboys in a couple weeks. Buckle up,

317
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,120

329
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: of the NFL with code John joy ten. The crown

330
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: is yours. I would say the Giants were my NFC

331
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: version of the Steelers. I was very bullish on them.

332
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: I thought coming into the season they would be better

333
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: than they were last year. There'd be more substance behind it,

334
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: and though their record might look pretty similar nine to

335
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: ten wins at most, they would be a better team

336
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: and they would be closer in their division where they

337
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: just there was a gap last year with the Cowboys

338
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. That's clearly not the case. And listen

339
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Andrew Brandt, who worked for the Packers for

340
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: a while, tweeted something out tonight that Perty's making like

341
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: seven hundred and eighty k and Daniel Jones is making

342
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: forty six million. They're paying them a lot of money,

343
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: and the expectations when you get paid a lot of

344
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: money are really really high, especially when the expectations for

345
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: your team given your previous year are also high. So

346
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: it was gonna be the pressures, no joke. In New York, listen,

347
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: I think the Northeast, Philly, New York, Boston, those are

348
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: intense places to play, especially NFL football when your team

349
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: is viewed as a playoff team, because it's not like

350
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: you get nitpicked, like you're held to a high standard.

351
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: And you feel that watching them play tonight right where

352
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: they were ten point underdogs. And listen, when the season started,

353
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: even if you pick them to win ten games, you

354
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: would have circled this one as an l They just

355
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: played at Arizona. They stayed out here on the West Coast.

356
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: I think the problem though, is wasn't tonight, it's the

357
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: next three games. They're one and two. They got destroyed

358
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys. They had an incredible comeback to not

359
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: be on in three. They placed Seattle in ten days.

360
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: And listen, if you watch Seattle week one, maybe see

361
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: I was coming back to I watched him last week

362
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: against Detroit.

363
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: I love them. This week against Carolina, that's gonna be hard.

364
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: And the reason it's gonna be difficult is see their

365
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: defense is nowhere near the Cowboys or the Niners. That

366
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: offense is legit man from Kenneth Walker to the first

367
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: round pick from Ohose State Jackson Smith and DK Metcalf

368
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett.

369
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: Like they can score.

370
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: And they're gonna get to twenty five plus points. And

371
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: my thing with the Giants right now, Sakwan, who knows

372
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: he's obviously out this week, he's probably gonna be out

373
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: next week, is to take a miracle maybe miss a

374
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: week after that. Where are they getting their points from?

375
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: Darren Waller is a fucking baller in theory, You're like, God,

376
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: this guy is six ' six and this kind of

377
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: why bit it in the Giants?

378
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: He fooled me again. It's like, you know, he's one

379
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: of the quicker players at his positioned in the league,

380
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: might be the fastest. Him and Kyle Pitts. He could

381
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: run all the routes, great ball skills, and then he's

382
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: always injured. You know, he just always is.

383
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: Was like that with the Raiders after his first couple

384
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: of years and he got paid and got paid, he

385
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: was kind of a shell of himself. And I wanted

386
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: to be sweet because he's a fun player to watch,

387
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: but he's just not that dependable. So if they don't

388
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: beat Seattle, which I think is going to be very hard,

389
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: and when the dust settles, assuming Seattle doesn't have a

390
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: bad injury this week, I think that line is probably

391
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: like a pick them. Then they go at Miami at Buffalo,

392
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: so it is going to be very, very difficult. The

393
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: Giants could play well in two out of three of

394
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: those games and be one and five. And let's face it,

395
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are unless you're like the

396
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers of the Cowboys. It's hard to get

397
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: nine to ten wins starting one to five. So I

398
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: think the Giants have major, major issues. They already have

399
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: impact injuries with star impact players, big time, tackle out,

400
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: start running back out. They had players go down to night,

401
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, struggling to get off the field, and then

402
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: the pressure just.

403
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: Grows and grows and grows.

404
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: On Daniel Jones. And listen, is he better than probably

405
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: people talked about before last season even started.

406
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.

407
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: If Daniel Jones played for Kyle Shanahan the last couple

408
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: of years, would we even be discussing him like we do?

409
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: Probably not.

410
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: But he plays on the Giants and they gave him

411
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: forty five billion dollars a year after fifteen touchdowns, and

412
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: it's win loss at doesn't directly correlate with the quarterback,

413
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: right It's like they're not.

414
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: A tennis player or a golfer.

415
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: But most good quarterbacks win a lot of games and

416
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: if you're going one to five, it's got to be

417
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: a little reflection of the quarterback. And I'm not some

418
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: anti Daniel Jones guy, but I think this thing could

419
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: get ugly just looking at their schedule. So Niners, I

420
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: don't even want to say role. They actually kind of

421
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: struggled tonight at times, but relative for them, they then

422
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: win by multiple touchdowns.

423
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: It looks like they're.

424
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: Cruise into a thirteen fourteen win season and they're at

425
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: the point now. And I think the Cowboys are in

426
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: this and the Eagles are as well, where they're just

427
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: going to be judged on the times when they play

428
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: each other, and we get that here in a couple

429
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: of weeks. And the Giants, I think they're already fighting

430
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: for their playoff a lot in Week four. It's crazy

431
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: how fast things happen in the NFL. When you start

432
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: slow because you start slow in your schedule. All of

433
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: a sudden you realize you play two sweet teams. You're like,

434
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: we better fucking win this game or audios to our season.

435
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: The other news of the day that is just that

436
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: is just beyond shitty. Listen, Guys get hurt in football.

437
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: And I say this all the time.

438
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: Right.

439
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: You can get hurt in football in April training on

440
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: your own, like you can pull in achilles at the

441
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: gym with your trainer, let alone at OTA's in a

442
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: non contact injury, let alone in training camp when the

443
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: pads come on, and obviously in the games in the

444
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: regular season. But I think once the regular season starts,

445
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: losing a star player in practice, there's nothing worse. There

446
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: really isn't, because at least at during the game, like

447
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: the guy, I don't know, I don't even know how

448
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: to describe it, I personally think. And when I was

449
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, we signed Nom Diassimwa, who was terrible, but

450
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: I remember he got hurt in practice and everyone thought

451
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: he blew out his knee, which looking back, would not

452
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: have actually mattered to anything. But at times like this

453
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: guy's blew out his knee in practice, and it doesn't

454
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: happen that often. Remember a couple of years ago, I

455
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: think Deshaun Watson tours ACL in practice, and Trayvon Diggs

456
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: today with the Cowboys towards ACL in practice.

457
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: I think their center got hurt as well. But Diggs

458
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: is clearly out for the season.

459
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: And you know it's well documented how many plays the

460
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: guy has made since he came in the league. I

461
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: think he has eighteen picks. I saw a stat today

462
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: on PFF. So far the season, he's you know, he's

463
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: been awesome. Now, granted they've dominated two games against the

464
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Giants and the Jets, but that sucks and that hurts.

465
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: I don't think it derails their chances to be a

466
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: NFC champion or to be a Super Bowl contender, but

467
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: that is a big blow. And you know, every team,

468
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the forty nine Ers, and the Cowboys specifically

469
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: have a core group of they have more of them

470
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: than everyone else, you know, eight to ten like easily

471
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: could be legit Pro Bowlers, not the fake Pro Bowl.

472
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: Not not like Tyler Huntley Pro Bowl because some dudes

473
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: in Maui with his family. Like no, I went to

474
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl because I'm the one of the best

475
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: players at my position. And the Cowboys, Niners, and Eagles

476
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: have a lot of them. And when you lose guys

477
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: like that with torn packs, torn acls, whatever, for the season,

478
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: it's one thing to roll in. Guys get hurt, right

479
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson got hurt last year. I used hurt right now.

480
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: It happens.

481
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: It's another thing to lose. The guys like he's not

482
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: coming back, and a guy like that who's just such

483
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: a playmaker, and I know it was. I think two

484
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: years ago they just paid him a bunch of money.

485
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: I think they gave him forty million dollars. Guaranteed he's well

486
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: worth it. I'm a big believer at corner and playmakers.

487
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: Right.

488
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: Not everyone's gonna be Deon Sanders or Durell Reeves. They'd

489
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: be like, oh, they're just gonna shut the guy down

490
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. That's not most guys. Most guys, even

491
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: the good players, give up plays. Remember a couple years ago,

492
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: was like, well, he gives up a lot of plays. Like,

493
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: he also has seven turnovers, Right, he has eight picks,

494
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: four of them are picked sixes. I live with playmaker.

495
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: I think the same thing with quarterbacks. It's like, well

496
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: he has eleven interceptions on the year. Well, he also

497
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: has forty touchdown passes. So I will take the good

498
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: if there's a little bat and Diggs brought a lot

499
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: of good, and I do think there's something. There'll be

500
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: a rallying cry and they'll be fine. I mean who

501
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: they play. They played the Cardinals this week, but that hurts,

502
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: and I can't even imagine that vibe at practice. I

503
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: think Dak Prescott told like Edwarder before the news became official,

504
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: like we're just we're praying for him, like they know

505
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: and sometimes remember it happened to Kelsey a couple of

506
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Goes down in practice and by the next

507
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: day Schefter had been right. I had been tweeting like

508
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: they had feared that it might be a season ending injury.

509
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: No one's sleeping, well, this one happened pretty fast, and

510
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: they had the news, And this this hurts, It really does.

511
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: And listen, a lot of people love to hate the

512
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys and always push back. They haven't made the NFC

513
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: Championship in twenty five years, and facts are the facts.

514
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: But this team, and I even thought last year is

515
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: a fun watch, Like if you like football, and I

516
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: grew up hating the Cowboys, I'm kind of indifferent now,

517
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm sorry Mike McCarthy's their head coach, Like Micah

518
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: Parson's one of my favorite players, Like I find Jerry

519
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Jones entertaining, but I get if you're an Eagles fan.

520
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: Even most Niner fans I know are kind of don't care. Actually,

521
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: the Packers kind of became the Niners rival. I totally

522
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: understand it with the Eagles and the Giants, but I

523
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: do think this cowboy team, if you are a fan

524
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: of football, is an enjoyable watch. They have an old

525
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: school vibe to them. They fucking destroy people when they

526
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: tackle them, and they make a ton of plays on defense.

527
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: And call me a sap for like nineteen ninety and

528
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty football, but I still enjoy watching defense. I

529
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: don't want to watch every single game be thirty eight

530
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: to thirty four and losing a guy like this, it's

531
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: just hard to come back for it. And one other

532
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: thing for Sunday, the Chargers play the Vikings and not

533
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: in a million years. And I've said this the last

534
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: two seasons. I said, listen, I'm not going to pick

535
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: this team to win the division, though they have the

536
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: capability because of their head coach. But I'm never gonna

537
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: act just because I think their head coach is terrible

538
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: and a complete phony and a fraud that they're gonna

539
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: win four games. I understand the way the sport works.

540
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks too good. The talent around on defense as

541
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: well is too good. This team can just walk to

542
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: ten eleven wins and two years ago they lost to

543
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders on Week seventeen where they should have won

544
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: that game. And then last year, obviously they made the

545
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: playoffs and blew a terrible second half lead to Jacksonville.

546
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: But not in a million years what I said, Yeah,

547
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers aren't gonna make the playoffs, and not even

548
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 1: just not make the playoffs. But it's just like a

549
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: six win team, and it shows you the impact of

550
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: a head coach.

551
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: And I'll talk about it with Stucky. I talked about it.

552
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: I think last week, if you could flip flop the

553
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: two coaches Mike Vrabel and Brandon Staley won just on

554
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: the entire season, I think a lot of people would

555
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: pick the Chargers, especially if the Chiefs are just kind

556
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: of up and down this season, to win the division,

557
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: like they'd win thirteen games, the Chiefs will win twelve. Instead,

558
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna roll to the AFC West and

559
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: the Titans, who listen, God love them and I kind

560
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: of rote them off.

561
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: They're just gonna be around.

562
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: Why they have a superstar head coach and the Chargers

563
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: aren't just zero and two. I think if they were

564
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: to lose this week, which is definitely on the table

565
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: because anytime Brandon Staley is your head coach, you could

566
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: play the eighty five Bears or you could play the Hugh.

567
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 2: Jackson Browns, you might lose.

568
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: And I think if they lose and they go oh

569
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: to three to the Minnesota Vikings too, if it'd be

570
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: one thing, it's like, hey, you're playing the Chiefs in

571
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City, You're playing Minnesota, who is oh and two.

572
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: But also it feels like they're destined to not be

573
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: that good this year. I think he gets fired by Monday,

574
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: and I think you have to fire him by Monday

575
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: because one most oh and three teams and a lot

576
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: of these stats now oh and two oh and three teams.

577
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: We have seven now each conference in the playoffs. So

578
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: the old stats you almost have to throw out the window.

579
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: And we've only been doing this for what two years?

580
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: We haven't been doing this very long, yeah, two years

581
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: because two years ago it was Rams. We've only had

582
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: the Money Night Football game two years in a row,

583
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys Tampa and the Rams Arizona Cardinals. So the stats

584
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: with that, like, I think we have to need a

585
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: larger sample size. Maybe in ten years we go, Hey,

586
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: if you go zero and three, you're this likely to

587
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: make the seventeen playoff. I don't think you're dead when

588
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: you have a Justin Herbert or a Joe Burrow, but

589
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: you don't need to be some Harvard mathematician to know

590
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: it is a major, major uphill battle. The other thing

591
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: is if you're the Chargers and you just invested all

592
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: this money and listen, you know where I stand on

593
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: the owner. You're not gonna pay that guy that much

594
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: money without someone saying to him, we can't go continually

595
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: year after year with an average coach. Eventually, we're gonna

596
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: have to cut someone a check. What's the point of

597
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: any of this? So well, you would have to sniff

598
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: around to the Jim Harbaughs, to whoever whoever, the top

599
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: coaching candidates. That would be very expensive, right, Sean Payton

600
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: would have been that last year. Wouldn't this be a

601
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: great opportunity to give Kellen Moore, who just a couple

602
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: of years ago was viewed as this star offensive coordinator

603
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: who was going to be a head coach, was turning

604
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: him down, stayed with Jerry, got paid a bunch of money. Basically,

605
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: give him a fourteen game sample size, give him a

606
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: fourteen game interview process. So if you tell me right now,

607
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers lose to the Vikings, which sounds crazy even

608
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: saying out loud. The Chargers with Justin Herbert are owing three.

609
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: With Brandon Stale, it is on the table. I think

610
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: he loses his job on Monday. And I think if

611
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: you're Dean Spanos in Chargers, you know ownership leadership, you

612
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a choice. You're paying too many people, too

613
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: much money, you have too much talent on your team.

614
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: You would have to make a change. I think this

615
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: Sunday is must win for Brandon Staley to have an

616
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: office in the facility come Monday. Okay, let's dive in

617
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: to something we like to call the bold take of

618
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: the week. You look at the NFL slate. You know

619
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick the Cardinals to beat the Cowboys.

620
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna pick as I just talked about

621
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers to lose, though I would find that interesting.

622
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: I think Nick Saban's in major trouble. There have been

623
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: rumblings this year about his team as a shell of itself.

624
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: I think they're out of the top ten this early,

625
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: and just in a season for the first time in

626
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: like eight or nine years. Their quarterback position is in shambles.

627
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen doesn't just know Nick Saban, he knows him well.

628
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: He's played now in the same conference with him for

629
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: a couple of years at All Miss. He coached for them.

630
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: And let's face it, this Alabama dynasty, which is a

631
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: legit dynasty, right, is leaking oil. Now it's different because

632
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: players graduate and they leave. We've seen it with the Patriots, right.

633
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: Patriots still don't suck, but they're nowhere near what they

634
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: once were. And if they were a college team, they

635
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: would have been like that team that was always ranked

636
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: three or four or one for twenty straight years. And

637
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: now they're not sniffing the top of twenty five. Not

638
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: quite Nick Saban yet. But hosting Lane Kiffen this week,

639
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: I think Lane not only beats them, I think within

640
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: a couple of days we start hearing, you know, Nick,

641
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: the changing tides of nil of the transfer portal. He's

642
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: seventy two, seventy one years old. Could this be his

643
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: last year he's entertained it Now. I understand you don't

644
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: want to not go out on top, but what if

645
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: there never is going out on top again for Nick Saban.

646
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: I think Old Miss beats Alabama this weekend and we

647
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: start talking. Is this it for Nick Saban? Brought to

Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, my girlfriend's brother is getting married to

663
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: his long long time girlfriend and I guess now fiance. Luckily,

664
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I think the wedding on Saturday doesn't start till five

665
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: and the venue is also like this winery with TV,

666
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna be able to uh not miss much

667
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: action as it looks, I guess Notre Dame. I don't

668
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: plan on missing much, so I will find a way.

669
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see you, and Oregon is earlier in

670
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: the day, so I'll be able to take that all in.

671
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with you. This is a I was

672
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: really quick.

673
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: You can find Stucky Action Network Big Bets on campus,

674
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: go subscribe to the podcast. He I mean, just had

675
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: everyone's sunbelt Billy, He's about to get fired.

676
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: And then Florida absolutely demolishes Tennessee.

677
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I should I was thinking about it,

678
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: and then I ended up going to Arizona State Fresno State,

679
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: who I also was going to put a bet on

680
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: Fresno State, but I was like, you know, this game get.

681
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: Weird, and then they absolutely demolished them.

682
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, that was You saw one of the

683
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 4: probably the worst football games that will we played this year.

684
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: I think that was going to stay is four quarterbacks

685
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: at eight turnover.

686
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was crazy.

687
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: It was bad.

688
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

689
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: I went to that as the the epic Colorado game

690
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: was going on. But I guess let's start with college

691
00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: because this weekend, you know, from an NFL perspective, the

692
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: amount of scouts that are going to be out and

693
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: about at these games is gonna be pretty outrageous.

694
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I was texting around with some buddies.

695
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: I think some of these games are gonna have close

696
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: to like every team have representation at it given, you know,

697
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: especially Notre Dame Ohio State to really, I mean, this

698
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: is an enormous moment for Sam Hartman.

699
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 2: We don't know Chador. I think you know that.

700
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that video that went viral,

701
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: it looked like they were at the Bronco game where

702
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: Dion's like, you ain't you ain't coming out, You're coming back.

703
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: But you know, bo Nicks is a guy, I mean,

704
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: you're an sec country who you know, most people had

705
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of written off.

706
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 2: He's definitely resurrected his career. And there are gonna be

707
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: a lot of eyeballs on that game for sure. And

708
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: while I don't know if there's a quarterback in the game,

709
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: I guess Jackson Dark but Ole Miss and Bamba's got

710
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: to have a lot of pro prospects at other positions.

711
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean college football doesn't get much better

712
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: than this week because the NFL slates, you know, i'd

713
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: call it average.

714
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of big spreads.

715
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 4: There's a couple mismatches out there, but the NFL Sunday

716
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: never disappoints. But yeah, this is especially after last Saturday,

717
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 4: which is very underwe I mean Colt football.

718
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 3: This has this has all the juice, yea.

719
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 4: I mean you have on a Florida State Clemson which

720
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 4: you know obviously acc but national title, cult wall, playoff implications.

721
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 3: The list just goes on and on.

722
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: Okay, let's start.

723
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure you have a stat but it

724
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: feels like Notre Dame over the last decade of the

725
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: of the Brian Kelly era into you know, last year,

726
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: doesn't I don't totally count it. But now that they

727
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: have a quarterback, they just haven't won many of these games,

728
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: obviously in the playoffs and definitely back when they you know,

729
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: went to the National championship against Alabama. I like them

730
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 1: a lot in this spot. I mean, they're getting three

731
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: points at home. I don't know about you, but that's

732
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Saturday and Sunday probably my favorite bet of

733
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: the week, and I think Notre Dame I think has

734
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: a chance to be really really good. I don't know,

735
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: compete to win the national championship, like can they beat Georgia,

736
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: But I definitely think they could beat Ohio State this week.

737
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: If you're getting points at home. That place is going

738
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: to be bananas, I like Notre Dame.

739
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I will be curious to see how

740
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 4: many Ohio State fans show up. They travel really well,

741
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: so then we'll be able to see the gold versus

742
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 4: the Red and the crowd. A couple of friends of

743
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 4: mine who are State fans have already told them to

744
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: their go, and so that's one thing that I'm interested

745
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: in seeing. But yeah, I agree. I mean, these two

746
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 4: teams played last year in the first game of the

747
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 4: year and oh, you know, I actually kept it close.

748
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 4: It lost twenty one to ten. It was an Oh

749
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: they didn't have a quarterback. They're one of their quarterbacks.

750
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 4: They played two quarterbacks last year. One of their quarterbacks

751
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 4: got benched playing for Alabama last week. He threw for

752
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: thirty yards in the first half ag in South Florida.

753
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 4: Their other one, Drew Pine. You went and saw last

754
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: week at Arizona State, one of the four quarterbacks that

755
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 4: can't complete a pass. So they were at a massive

756
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 4: disadvantage from a quarterback perspective because Ohio stay down at CJ.

757
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 3: Stroud.

758
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: So you're talking number two overall pick and two guys

759
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 4: who couldn't throw a birthday party. So you know, now

760
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 4: you look at it, and Notre Name has the better

761
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 4: all around quarterback. I'm not a Kyle McCord guy. He

762
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 4: could prove me wrong last week he went off. He's

763
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 4: got the best receivers in the best receiver room in

764
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 4: the country. Western Kentucky's defense is way down. They gave

765
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: up four hundred yards rushing to South Rna. They lost

766
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 4: a bunch of really good players from last year's team.

767
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 4: They're gonna get carved up by any good offense, just

768
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 4: a complete talent mismatch. And by the way, the Ohis

769
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 4: State offense looked very undwhelming against Youngstown State Indiana before that.

770
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, I had the home dog here

771
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 4: with the better all around quarterback, the experienced quarterback going

772
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 4: up against you know, a kid who's getting his first

773
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: dose of a real defense in a hostile environment. And

774
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 4: if look the Ohio State receivers, boop Marvin Harrison Junior

775
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 4: is going to be ridiculous in the NFL, they're great.

776
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 4: But Notre Dame has one of the best cornerback duos

777
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 4: in college football in Morrison and Heart, and last year

778
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 4: they actually held Stroud in that passing attack in check

779
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 4: and that was Morrison's first ever start in college and

780
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 4: heart was banged up, wasn't a hundred percent healthy. So

781
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 4: I think from what I've sad, you know how, it's

782
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 4: gonna be able to get a push. They have a

783
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: really good offensive line outside of one guard spot, which

784
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: is leaky, but they're gonna be able to push up up,

785
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 4: so they're gonna estimate company.

786
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: We're be able to run the ball a little bit.

787
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 4: That's gonna set up the Hartman deep shots. Just something

788
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 4: they didn't have last year. They couldn't throw it downfield

789
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 4: at all. And I think they noted that defense will

790
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 4: force McCord into some mistakes. Obviously, the receivers are gonna

791
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: make some plays. I think the defense is a little

792
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 4: bit improved under Jim Knowles for Ohio State. But uh,

793
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: this is a very veteran Notre Dame team that I

794
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 4: think is ready for this test, and mainly it's because

795
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 4: of the quarterback play and they have the edge here

796
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 4: against Ohio State and not many times in recent district

797
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 4: can you.

798
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: Say that it's funny Beside all the hooplah last week,

799
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: everyone before that started had circled this little stretch for

800
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: Colorado once they won those first couple of games at

801
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: Oregon USC. You've seen that game next week against you know,

802
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is the Fox Morning kickoff game nine am.

803
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Ten million people just watched last week. Dion is just

804
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, a rocket ship of interest right now. This

805
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: line's weird, right, not even weird, It's just it's enormous.

806
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's three touchdowns on the road, which historically

807
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: for US out west is probably the closest thing that

808
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: you have to an sec environment. When that place is rocking,

809
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: it's really loud. This has been one of the best programs,

810
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: probably the most consistent. I mean, Utah has had a

811
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: little run here, but over the last decade and a

812
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: half beside that little stretch from Stanford once Pete Carroll left.

813
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: You know, this is I don't really know this probably

814
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: stay away from me. It seems like a lot of points,

815
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: but I've seen teams get in there. If Oregon's Rolling

816
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: bow Knicks is on, they just might just have more

817
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: NFL players top to bottom, especially on defense. But this

818
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: is a fascinating matchup, and this is another one. If

819
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Shador's making sweet plays, I mean, we're gonna start talking

820
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: about this guy as if he came out this year,

821
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: would he you know, go right there with Drake may

822
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: to be.

823
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: The number two pick. If he returns, I would say

824
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 2: he would definitely be circled as a guy that would

825
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 2: be the number one pick next year. So this is

826
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: this is a pretty big moment for him, who's already

827
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: had a bunch of really big moment.

828
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's look what Diana is doing is amazing and

829
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 4: this just this momentum early in the season, and when

830
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 4: Colorado is good, it's better for collegeotball too. But just

831
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 4: this momentum's building right now. He already was going to

832
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 4: attract so many top end for cruits and transfers by

833
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 4: the way, which is going to be massive. But now

834
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 4: after starting for you know, the interest is even going

835
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 4: to be higher. But I think they're up against it here.

836
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 4: I think this has Oregon, Yes, fifty eight to twenty

837
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 4: one written all over it. Something bad. I mean, look,

838
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: if you look at what Colorado has done and Travis

839
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: Hunter is not going to play, he's a big loss.

840
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 4: One of the things is Colorada team, they have a

841
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: pretty talented you know, starting eleven outside of the offensive

842
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 4: line is a problem, especially going into Eugene. And for

843
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 4: what it's worth, over the last thirty years, the most

844
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 4: profitable home favorite in conference play is Oregon, and to

845
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 4: your point, and the offensive line is going to be

846
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 4: a problem here. The defense is not that good. They

847
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 4: have a couple of stars like a hunter, and they

848
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 4: make some plays, but this Oregon offense is on another

849
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: level and the Colorida of defense just isn't very good

850
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 4: right now. If you look at what Colorado has done,

851
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 4: you know, they came out, they've obviously assembled us assembled

852
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 4: a much more talented roster than they had.

853
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: Last year where they were just pitiful.

854
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 4: But they got the benefit of coming out against TCU,

855
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: and TCU had no idea what to expect from that offense,

856
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 4: right like, they were just like what is going on

857
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 4: and kind of just got shocked by it. And TCU

858
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 4: scored scored at will against the Colorada defense. The next

859
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 4: week they played Nebraska, and Nebraska basically just fumbles the game.

860
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 4: I mean Colorado and Sanders did his thing, but I

861
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 4: mean they were going up against someone who couldn't snap.

862
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: The ball, and then when he did, he was quarterback.

863
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Quarterback was a joke.

864
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 4: It was one of the worst performances I've ever seen.

865
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 4: Then the next week you played Colorida State team. It

866
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: was just lost by forty to Washington State a couple

867
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 4: of weeks before, and you can't stop them because the

868
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: quarterback was decent enough. It was his first ever start,

869
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 4: and they were just going up and down the field.

870
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: I don't see how that won't happen here. Colorado will

871
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 4: put up a fight. But the other thing is that Oregon,

872
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 4: and it'esrobably just when you're laying a big number, the

873
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 4: back doors always open. But like what you know, Dan Lanning,

874
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 4: the head coach Forgan, he came out and like had

875
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 4: some some words about Colorado leaving the PAC twelve. And

876
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 4: I mean, even though they're leaving to who knows all

877
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 4: this politics stuff, he wasn't.

878
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: Wrong though, Yeah, well he was saying that before the

879
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: dance stuff that Colorado had been irrelevant.

880
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 4: Agreed, And no, I'm just saying everyone is gonna just

881
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 4: trash everyone and everyone's gonna leave. But I get what

882
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 4: he's saying as well. But and then you know Dion

883
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 4: is out there. They're three and oh, and Dion likes

884
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: to talk to talk. So some of these coaches in

885
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 4: the PAC twelve, when they're gonna get a chance to

886
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 4: run it up a little bit before.

887
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: For Colorado is still a little beatable, They're gonna do it.

888
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 4: And this is like bo Nicks Heisman season had all

889
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 4: eyes on so I think he could have a huge game.

890
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: I just don't think the colored offensive line can hold up.

891
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 3: Sants be running for his life.

892
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 4: And on the other side, I just don't see how

893
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: it this Colorado defense is gonna get many stops. And

894
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: the one thing I will say that I disagree with

895
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 4: what Dean did it and he build up the momentum

896
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: of the program, but I don't think you might will

897
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 4: do it in the future is that every game has

898
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 4: been this massive like build up, and they played you know,

899
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: three teams that could have beat them, and every it's

900
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 4: just this massive build up of energy and that's a

901
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 4: lot that's exhausting everything they've done. Meanwhile, you know, Oregon's

902
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 4: beating teams by fifty and they put up eighty and

903
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 4: their sleep on Portland State. But Colorado, these kids have

904
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 4: gotten up and up and up, like how much they

905
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 4: have in the tank. They own a lot of depth

906
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 4: and Oregon's gonna put up a ton of points. So

907
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 4: that could come back to Biden. You could see this

908
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 4: the Dan break in the second half.

909
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: I was texting with someone yesterday when I was I

910
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: was outside barbecuing and just you know, like us degenerates

911
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: thinking about college football, Colorado's bound to lose a game

912
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: this year to like Arizona or Arizona State or Stanford

913
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: just because, like you said, one, these are nineteen twenty

914
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: year old kids.

915
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: That's why last week wasn't that weird?

916
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: It's college football, Like Alabama sometimes gets pushed last year,

917
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Missouri pushed Georgia. Weird shit happens. Weird shit happens in

918
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,479
Speaker 1: football in general, but in college for sure, because we're human.

919
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: Like they're bound to be like a ten point favorite

920
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: against one of these other Pac twelve teams coming up

921
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 1: and they lose, like that's classic, and they're also bound

922
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: to do the opposite. Maybe they upset one of these games,

923
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: like maybe they beat USC in some crazy shootout, because

924
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: woudn't you say that on paper, with the way they're built,

925
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: they match up better against USC than they would Utah Oregon,

926
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: with like NFL bodies everywhere on defense that might be

927
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: able to neutralize their power offense.

928
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Utah is two physical and Oregon has, like Oregon

929
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 4: now is a pass rush which is gonna be a

930
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 4: big problem for Sanders and that offensive line, which then

931
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 4: they've been lacking that department. But yeah, USC that you

932
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 4: can win that game in like a finesse, just complete shootout.

933
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: Back in what's the what's the over under on that

934
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 2: game gonna be a hundred?

935
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 4: It depends on what Colorado does this weekend, how much

936
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 4: they give up and how much they score. USC also

937
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 4: plays Arizona State, so they could put up a number

938
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 4: it'll be. It could be high high seventies for sure.

939
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 4: I think the highest one I've ever seen. Highest total

940
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 4: college football. I think got the eight high eighties before

941
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 4: some big twelve game.

942
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: Back in the day before we dive into the NFL.

943
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: My favorite game right there with Notre Dame. I think

944
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: this week is is Washington State at home getting three

945
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: points against Oregon State. Like, to me, Djonglila, you know,

946
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: he's definitely been a little more under control, but he

947
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: still kind of looks pretty robotic to me, like he's

948
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: not He might have a better season on paper than

949
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: last year, but it's not like he's some different player.

950
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: And I think Washington State. Like, like you mentioned, Colorado

951
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: State might be decent. Maybe they end up going six

952
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: and six. They fucking destroy them. Washington State was decent

953
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: last year. Actually it was pretty good, right they almost

954
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: they easily could have beat Oregon if they wouldn't have

955
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: pulled one of the craziest games out of their ass

956
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: of all of twenty twenty two. Washington State might just

957
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: be one of those teams that like has a chance

958
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: to be in the Pac twelve Championship in three or

959
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: four weeks. You'd be looking up. You're like, damn they are,

960
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: you know whatever? Six and oh seven, And I think

961
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: they're really good. Obviously Oregon State is too, really good coach,

962
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: but at home, I think I've been to Wazoo.

963
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 2: It's got a little you know, I wouldn't say it's

964
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: quite Eugene, but that place can get really rowdy when

965
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: they're good. And I think they're good. I love them

966
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 2: plus three this week.

967
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 4: I think they've covered They have the longest home cover

968
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: streak on the police in the country. Don't quote me

969
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: on that, but I think that's true. Yeah, I mean, look,

970
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 4: the big matchup in this game is Washington State came

971
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 4: into the year they wanted to install a new offense

972
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 4: with cam Warton, and they wanted to be more vertical

973
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 4: and attack more downfield, and was there going to be

974
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 4: ground pains obviously now, And yeah, they exceeded expectations in

975
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 4: Week one. They did it again against Wisconsin. Wisconsin was

976
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 4: coming out trying to avenge a home loss against Washington

977
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 4: State last year, so you know they were coming into

978
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 4: that game fired up. But the offense has looked great

979
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 4: and that's that's what this is going to come down to.

980
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 4: It's like, I agree with you on Dju, He's going

981
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 4: to be a lot better because that offense one of

982
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 4: the best offensive that has one of the best offensive

983
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,479
Speaker 4: lines in all college football. They lean on their ground

984
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 4: game and then it's just setting him up to play

985
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 4: action off of the running game. He's got a great

986
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 4: offensive line, so it's everything's going to be a lot

987
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 4: easier and simpler for him in that system that it's

988
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 4: just all run first and I'll ask him to do

989
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 4: too much. But Washington State with their downfield passing attack. Now,

990
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: the weakness on this Oregon State defense coming into the

991
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 4: year was on the back end. They lost a lot

992
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 4: of talent in the secondary and that could decide this game.

993
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 4: I think I agree with you. I don't have a

994
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: strong feel either way, but I think the winner of

995
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 4: this game is sneaky and just one of the teams

996
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 4: that people aren't talking about that could just slide into

997
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: the PAC twelve Championship game.

998
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: Kay, let's dive into the National Football League. Last week.

999
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: You know you nailed the Bills game. That was the

1000
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: easiest cover the Denver Broncos. I would imagine you felt

1001
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: pretty good at half time.

1002
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 4: So up eighteen, Sean Payton seven was seventy two and

1003
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 4: oh with an eighteen or more point lead in his career.

1004
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 4: The defense is horrifying. I mean, the Broncos scored more

1005
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: points than I ever dreamed of in the first half.

1006
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 4: They're up eighteen. The defense is lost. They advanced, Joseph

1007
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: replaced a really good defensive coordinator and ebros Now in Carolina.

1008
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 4: Then obviously that fanjo before then, and there's a huge

1009
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,760
Speaker 4: drop off. They're just blitzing without any rhyme or reason.

1010
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 4: Sam Howe, they basically came back. They just ran screens

1011
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 4: and Denver never adjusted. Sam Hell went eight of eight

1012
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 4: for one hundred and thirty eight yards on screens. In

1013
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 4: the second half, and the defense has left Denver down. Surprisingly,

1014
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 4: the offense has actually been pretty good. Russ's looked a

1015
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 4: lot better and more play action. And yeah, the Denver secondary,

1016
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 4: they've won really good elite corner and Patricks certain one

1017
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 4: corner who I don't know if he might get cut

1018
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 4: this week. And then their safety situation, yet they lost Stearns,

1019
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 4: was supposed to be a big player this year for

1020
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 4: the season. Kareem Jackson gets thrown out for targeting. They

1021
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 4: bring in a rookie, he gets hurt, they got to

1022
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 4: move a slot back to safety, he gives up the

1023
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 4: what was the game winning touchdown? I write it off

1024
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 4: and then they get a hail Mary bring me right

1025
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 4: back in and then don't get the two point conversion.

1026
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, that was unfortunate. But yeah, I thought the

1027
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 4: Denver defense would be better against sam Hell than it was.

1028
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: They just didn't adjust. And then it's my own fault

1029
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: for trusting Zach Wilson. But I don't even put all

1030
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 4: the blame on him for that game. Everyone knew he's terrible.

1031
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 4: The defense didn't make any big plays. They kind of

1032
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 4: got work, could have been a pick six. Yep, the

1033
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 4: defense was supposed to come in there and step up

1034
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 4: as one of the best units in the NFL. Sauce

1035
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 4: Carter catches that pick six, maybe it's a different story.

1036
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 4: And but also the offensive game plan, like it's you're

1037
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 4: going up against Michael Parson's that pass rush with Zach

1038
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 4: Wilson and a bad offensive line. Move him like roll

1039
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 4: him out, give him simple reads, like do what they

1040
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 4: do with Daniel Jones. He was just dropping back dear

1041
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 4: in the headlights and once they got behind that there

1042
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 4: was never a chance. But that at Denver defense, that

1043
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 4: Dallas defense is excellent.

1044
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 2: Okay, let's dive into your picks. This one surprises me

1045
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1046
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: You like the Browns this weekend minus three against the Titans.

1047
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: I would imagine, you know, if you just pulled the

1048
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: average football fan, they would just say that the Brown's

1049
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: got major issues injuries left and right, star running back out,

1050
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 1: though I think the backup actually looked pretty good.

1051
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 2: But their main issue is this quarterback right now does

1052
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: not you know, look remotely close to what he once was.

1053
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: You know, there are rumors of these got a Burner

1054
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 2: account on Twitter responding to people. I don't know if

1055
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: you saw that one, but this is This seems like

1056
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: a team that you know easily could have won that game.

1057
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 2: It took a couple defensive scores, kind of freaky defensive scores,

1058
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 2: but they happened. It's not like the Steelers, you know,

1059
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 2: were lighting them up on offense.

1060
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: But I feel there's a lot of negativity and maybe

1061
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: you're going against that because the actual, the tangible evidence

1062
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: isn't as bad as I think the perception is.

1063
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look that Nick Chull's one of the

1064
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 4: best backs in the NFL, and he matters, but him

1065
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 4: being out like running backs barely ever even impact the

1066
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 4: points spread, and the backup did look good. They also

1067
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 4: are going to sign Cream Hunt today. And yeah, Watson

1068
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 4: doesn't look great, specifically on his deep balls, which is

1069
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 4: what he was known for in the past.

1070
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 3: But I really like this this Browns team because of

1071
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 3: the defense.

1072
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 4: The defense was I thought was gonna be one of

1073
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 4: the best, most improved defenses in the entire NFL. They

1074
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 4: brought in a new coordinator in Jim Schwartz. Last year,

1075
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 4: they just they were so disorganized. They beefed up the

1076
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 4: interior of the defensive line, added some dudes there, bringing

1077
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 4: jan Thornhill at safety. You already have three really good corners.

1078
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 4: They were just running the wrong scheme. Well, so far

1079
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 4: this season the defense had everyone's talking about the Dallas

1080
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 4: defense rightfully. So the Browns defense has been even better. Statistically,

1081
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 4: they didn't face Zach Wilson. They have they're on the season.

1082
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 4: They're allowing a twenty five percent success rate twenty five

1083
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 4: and twenty seven and back to back weeks. For reference,

1084
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 4: last year five total games were a defense allowed under

1085
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 4: twenty seven percent. A team hasn't sniffed the red zone

1086
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 4: against them. The Steelers didn't sniff the red zone last week.

1087
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 4: The Bengals didn't sniff the red zone.

1088
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 3: That you know. The Steelers have two defensive touchdowns and

1089
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 3: a long touchdown pass. That's it. This defense is really good.

1090
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 4: They're going up against the Titans offensive line that is

1091
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 4: very questionable, probably do without one of their their starting

1092
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 4: guard as well. And then on the back end, Tennessee's

1093
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 4: missing potentially a couple of starters in the secondary. And

1094
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 4: I think Cleveland has enough juice and they're gonna come

1095
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 4: out fired up. This is like an emotion, like you

1096
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 4: lose the Steelers, Okay, we'll coming back home, you know,

1097
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 4: They've already said they're going to dedicate it to Nick Chubb,

1098
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 4: and this will be like an emotional response against you know,

1099
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 4: a Tennessee team that just came off an overtime win

1100
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 4: at home. They played a couple of close games. I

1101
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 4: still I don't like what I've seen from Tannahill. The

1102
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 4: running game doesn't look like it's there. I'm just trusting

1103
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 4: this Browns defense at home. And now this this line

1104
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 4: was four and a half, five probably would have passed,

1105
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 4: and then you're fading. I wouldn't have faded the dog

1106
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 4: god in Brable. But now that it's down to a

1107
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 4: three and I just need to win by a field

1108
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 4: goal or more, I'm taking the Browns. I don't think

1109
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 4: the market is really pricing in how much better this

1110
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 4: defense is. Could be one of the top three to

1111
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 4: four defenses in the entire NFL.

1112
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 2: Well, because Brandon Staleys takes so much oxygen, people aren't

1113
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 2: talking about Khalil Mack is just kind of a guy now,

1114
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: So there when you watch them, most is banged up.

1115
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 2: They don't get that much pressure. I mean they have

1116
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 2: two guys making a ton of money, right, I mean

1117
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 2: both guys are twenty plus million dollars, but Joey's twenty

1118
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: five million dollar guys, and they don't look like the

1119
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 2: Browns defensive line.

1120
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: And like you said, you listen Nagy. Clearly that was

1121
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: an overpick, but they made him look like a JB

1122
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: player last week. Beside the one run where he kind

1123
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: of got lucky cutting it back, I mean he looked terrible.

1124
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked like some teams would cut that guy.

1125
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 3: You know.

1126
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: And the Kelsey Brothers, I saw a clip on their podcast.

1127
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,800
Speaker 2: They played him in the preseason and they're like this

1128
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 2: team and I think one of them, I think the

1129
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 2: Eagles joint practiced against them, and they're like this defensive

1130
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 2: line they go too deep, which just freaks everywhere. Just

1131
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 2: remove Miles Garrett. They got other dudes. They were both

1132
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 2: really really impressed with the line of scrimmage.

1133
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: And as we know, if you're great at the line

1134
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: of scrimmage the Cowboys the Niners, you can just kind

1135
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: of get in the mix and basically the majority of

1136
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: the games you're gonna play if that unit dominates.

1137
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're playing against the quarterback you can't move around,

1138
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's I think it's gonna be a really

1139
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 4: bad day for Tannahill. I think the respond off that

1140
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 4: loss in again they should have won, and I think

1141
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 4: that their defense continues its dominant ways and they get

1142
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 4: this win at home.

1143
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: Okay, you're a Ravens guy, but you like the Colt

1144
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: as of right now. You know, Richardson hasn't passed the

1145
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. He's played two games moving around. He looks fantastic,

1146
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: you know, as a runner, but he's taking a lot

1147
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: of shots. I take it you like him regardless who

1148
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: starts a quarterback with this big of a line.

1149
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like, I'm assuming Minshew's gonna start, Like why,

1150
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 4: I mean, probably you're going to be cautious with Richardsonon.

1151
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 4: From what I've read, he's going to be out, But

1152
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 4: if he does play, I don't mind it. He looked

1153
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 4: better than I thought, but he's still limited as a

1154
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 4: pass He hasn't attempted to pass that has gone more

1155
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 4: than twenty yards downfield, so like there's just there's nothing

1156
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 4: being attempted downfield when he's in the game. Yeah, I'm

1157
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 4: a Ravens fan. I just think, you know, in the NFL,

1158
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 4: when I'm trying to bet, it's it's a lot of

1159
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 4: like when I used to work in the market, you're

1160
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 4: trying to buy low, sell high time that peak of

1161
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 4: teams and buy the kind of the dip on certain

1162
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 4: teams in the market. And the Ravens have looked really

1163
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 4: good lawn jackskin the ball out super quick this year

1164
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 4: under Todd Mulkin. His passing numbers are looking better. But

1165
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 4: this Ravens team, they be in week one either two,

1166
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 4: and oh they've covered both games. In Week one they

1167
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 4: beat a rookie quarterback on the road who was playing

1168
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 4: without his entire offensive line that they just pieced together,

1169
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 4: you know, basically the week of the game. And then

1170
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 4: last week they go to Cincinnati and win. But Burrow

1171
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 4: is just the he can't really throw the ball, so

1172
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 4: shell themselves. So like those two wins are not as

1173
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 4: impressive and Alma Raves and as they as they looked

1174
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 4: on paper.

1175
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 3: So I think you're getting in a plated number.

1176
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 4: Look, and now you're coming back off that since you

1177
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 4: when you got Cleveland next week, a little bit of

1178
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 4: a sleepy spot could be some big weather here wins

1179
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 4: and so this could be an ugly game, but Minshew

1180
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 4: could actually be an upgrade from a downfield passing perspective,

1181
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 4: And the most important thing here is and I I'd

1182
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 4: like the Colt's offensive line, which has been really bad

1183
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 4: the passcal years, They've been good this year. The Colts

1184
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 4: defensive line has looked really good. And that's important because

1185
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 4: the Ravens are still probably going to be without They're

1186
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 4: starting center, they're starting left tackle. Dobbins is out, Beckham

1187
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 4: is probably going to be out. On the defensive side

1188
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 4: of the ball. They last week, they lost their slot,

1189
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 4: they lost away one of their better pass rushers, bowsers

1190
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 4: on ir Marcus Williams, Marlin Humphrey. This seems down ten

1191
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 4: eleven starters able to get away with it against the

1192
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback in the offensive line, able to.

1193
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 3: Get away with it with Burrow firing balls into the ground.

1194
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 4: So but you know, this week of a capable quarterback

1195
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 4: in Minshew team with pretty good lines in the trenches

1196
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 4: on both sides, throwing some weather I think getting over

1197
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 4: a touchdown here, it's a good spot to sell the

1198
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 4: Ravens who were just so banged up. That's all anyone

1199
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 4: will be talking about. If they just didn't find a

1200
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 4: way to go to and oh, just because other circumstances

1201
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 4: kind of broke their way.

1202
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Sunday night football in Las Vegas, and I take

1203
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: it you like the Raiders more in this game because

1204
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: of what you think of the Steelers than what you

1205
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: think of the Raiders.

1206
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1207
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 4: Well, there's in travel spots you used to be able to,

1208
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 4: like twenty years ago, you used to be able to

1209
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: fade teams that went from the West coast to the

1210
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 4: East coast, but that's all been like priced end of

1211
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 4: the market and adjusted. One of the few travel situations

1212
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 4: that I still think does matter is team's going from

1213
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 4: the East Coast to the West coast on a short

1214
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 4: week and playing in prime time. It throws off their bodyclock,

1215
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 4: and the travel in the short weekups to the Steels

1216
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 4: at the two year off of a big win. Teams

1217
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 4: in that situation, for what it's worth, their eight and

1218
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 4: sixteen against the spread over the past twenty years, but

1219
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 4: anything under a field goal, I like the Raiders here.

1220
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 4: I do not like what I came into the season

1221
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 4: not liking what I've seen from Kenny Pickett. I'm not

1222
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 4: a Matt Canada guy. The play calling has been awful.

1223
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 4: They also have some key injuries. Deanfrey Johnson go on

1224
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 4: I are Hayward in the middle is so big if

1225
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 4: you look at their number their run defense numbers, and

1226
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 4: we'll see if Josh Jacobs kin to be run forward

1227
00:58:58,840 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 4: this week.

1228
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: But they're defense numbers are so bad when he's down

1229
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 3: on the field. You saw it last week.

1230
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 4: Didn't matter what back was in there for Cleveland, run

1231
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 4: wherever you wanted to go, just up and down the field.

1232
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 4: And I think the Raiders can do that here. The

1233
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 4: Raiders defense isn't any good. But I just don't trust

1234
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett the play calling. This offensive line na Gie

1235
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 4: Harris like Pickens. But that's about it. So this team

1236
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 4: going on the road after a big wind, kind of

1237
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 4: a sleepy spot. The Raiders, they got smacked as I

1238
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 4: expected them to do in Buffalo. But this is more

1239
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 4: of their speed and this is more of the game

1240
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 4: that Jimmy g can win. And you know, teams are

1241
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 4: coming down and loading the box and Darren Jimmy Git

1242
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 4: to beat it with his arm. He saw some of

1243
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 4: that at San fran That's part of the reason, Jakes.

1244
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 4: I think it's a lot of shape too, but part

1245
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 4: of the reason why Jacobs hasn't gotten going. I still

1246
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 4: think We'll be able to get going a little bit here,

1247
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 4: and I think Jimmy g can attack this secondary, which

1248
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 4: I'm not very fond of, might be without Minka Fitzpatrick

1249
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 4: as well. So I think Adams love a big day.

1250
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 4: I think it's a good spot to back the Raiders

1251
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 4: to bounce back at home. Yeah, I mean, I love Tomlin.

1252
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 4: You gotta love their edge rushers. They who knows they

1253
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 4: could make They could score another touchdown and they'll then

1254
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 4: they'll probably win this game. But outside of that, I'm

1255
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 4: just not a pick a guy until he proves to

1256
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 4: me otherwise, and the play calling certainly isn't helping him either.

1257
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: What's funny is a Steeler fan texted me the other night.

1258
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: He said, defense fourteen points, offense twelve points. I mean

1259
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: it's it took two scores from both those two guys

1260
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: and just.

1261
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 3: Dominate, I mean and barely held on.

1262
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 2: Liked him. I liked him coming in. I drank the

1263
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 2: kool aid.

1264
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: I let the preseason influence me, and I regret that

1265
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: one because that this is a team that looks like

1266
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: they're going to struggle to get to nine wins.

1267
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 4: Yep, Yeah, you're tom Win will steal a couple of

1268
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 4: wins and like the type spots and the defense will

1269
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 4: come out and make a couple of plays.

1270
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 3: But Hayward's a big loss.

1271
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 4: And especially if the Fitzpatrick, he's really like the the

1272
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 4: only guys you would trust back there. We'll see just

1273
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 4: got he got out of the house the other day

1274
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 4: with a chest injury. So yeah, this this Steelers offense.

1275
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 4: I also think they're not doing any favors. I mean, look,

1276
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 4: losing Johnson, they didn't draft the right running back. The

1277
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 4: offensive line still isn't great, so Pickett's not in the

1278
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 4: best situation. And then the play calling for Matt Canada,

1279
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 4: who just runs such an outdated offense. There's like no

1280
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 4: play action, there's a lack of motion and all these

1281
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 4: things that you know have been born from the Shanna

1282
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 4: entry that every successful offense is utilizing, not the Steelers.

1283
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: The game I have circled before we get out of

1284
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 1: here is Seattle minus six at home against Carolina. I mean,

1285
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: I think Carolina is really really bad. I went for

1286
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: a walk when it was twenty to nine because the

1287
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: other game was at halftime, and I came back and

1288
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: somehow I was twenty seventeen. I rewatched the drive. I

1289
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: mean they hit like a fourth down play. Obviously the

1290
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: two point play was kind of lucky. I mean, I'm

1291
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: just not buying into Carolina. I actually think rewatching week

1292
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: one the Seattle Rams game, that Gino wasn't as bad

1293
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: as his numbers, and then obviously week two, I thought

1294
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Gino looked pretty good. They clearly have a lot of

1295
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: offensive firepower. Now Seattle's defense isn't exactly you know, twenty

1296
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: fourteen version, so that that you know when you when

1297
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: you're giving up basically almost a touchdown Michel. But I

1298
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: think that place is going to be loud, you know.

1299
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I think getting a win like that kind of re

1300
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: energizes the fan base. Uh, they made the playoffs last year,

1301
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: so it's like people are into it so that I

1302
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: don't know if it'll ever be what it was, but

1303
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a tough spot for.

1304
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: I love Seattle minus six this week.

1305
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a really strong feel there. I

1306
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 3: have a lot of respect for.

1307
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier, even though the defensive coordinator for Carolina

1308
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 4: was previously no he's good.

1309
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 3: He's good.

1310
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 4: He can scheme up a lot of confusing looks and

1311
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 4: maybe force Gino into a mistake or two here, because

1312
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 4: Carolina games are going to be ugly. I mean, you

1313
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 4: saw that last week that they should ban them and

1314
01:02:55,560 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 4: the Jets and from prime time. But the yeah, I

1315
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 4: don't have a strong feel, but it's hard to back

1316
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 4: Carolina right now. I will tell you that it'll be

1317
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 4: a game where we will learn a lot about Bryce Young.

1318
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 3: Because you're going up against defense that isn't great.

1319
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 4: And it's a defense that doesn't generate a ton of pressure,

1320
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 4: so you know, and he's a bit undersized and a

1321
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 4: bit yeah so, but now so if he's gonna be

1322
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 4: in a pocket undersized right on the road, he's got

1323
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 4: two starts under his belt now in theories feel a

1324
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 4: little bit more comfortable.

1325
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 3: What will he look like?

1326
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 4: Will you look poised? Will he hit the throws? Because

1327
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 4: he shouldn't be under much pressure. So I don't know

1328
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 4: if I'll get I probably won't have a bet there,

1329
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 4: but I will be watching Young because I think it's

1330
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 4: a game where you'll learn a lot and you can

1331
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 4: probably take something from that and be like Nope, this

1332
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 4: isn't it or Okay, I can kind of see it working.

1333
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 4: So I'll definitely be watching it closely. Don't don't mind

1334
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 4: your side, but I'll probably be on the sidelines.

1335
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: When I was looking at the board at you know,

1336
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to miss the Chargers, you know, getting a

1337
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: point on the road at Minnesota.

1338
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Be like, how the hell am I gonna trust this

1339
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 2: team and this coach right now? You can't. You can't.

1340
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: That's games to stay away to me, But you're tempted.

1341
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: You're like God, justin Herbert at the offense, be like,

1342
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: no fucking way.

1343
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 4: Just I mean, if anyone out there is live, BET's

1344
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 4: just live. Bet the team that's down like fourteen at

1345
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 4: one point, because I'll probably come back and win.

1346
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the team.

1347
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 4: This is the Vikings regression monster is out for revenge.

1348
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 4: Like last year they got every bounce, won every close game,

1349
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 4: and they weren't that good and won thirteen games. This year,

1350
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:38,959
Speaker 4: they've been playing batter. They should have beat the Bucks.

1351
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 4: Arguably they should have beat the Eagles. I think they've

1352
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 4: They've lost like eight fumbles or negative not. I mean,

1353
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 4: every bounce is going against them, and all that regression

1354
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 4: that was due is hitting them now. So you have

1355
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 4: this team that is all the regression is hitting versus

1356
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 4: a team that finds ways to lose, so like regression,

1357
01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 4: gods versus find ways to lose.

1358
01:04:59,520 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1359
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 4: It should be a fun watch. There should be a

1360
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 4: lot of points. And the most disappointing thing is Brandon Staley.

1361
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 4: So like he has his his issues with his head coaching,

1362
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 4: but his specialty is defense. And this defense right now,

1363
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 4: you go buy a couple advanced metric sites dead last

1364
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 4: in the NFL, dead last, and you know, it's not

1365
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 4: the best defensive unit as far as talent's concerned, but

1366
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 4: there's some talented god on the defense.

1367
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 3: It should not be anywhere close to the doors.

1368
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 4: And this is supposed to be you know, his forte

1369
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 4: and that was my you know, at least I would

1370
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 4: always you know, say Staley has all these shortcomings, but

1371
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 4: he can scheme defense.

1372
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 3: He's not even doing that anymore. So Yeah, I have

1373
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 3: no idea on this game.

1374
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 4: Just if whoever's down live bet them, and then when

1375
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 4: they go up live bet the other team. It's probably

1376
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 4: gonna be probably good Forred to good overtime maybe overtime, yes,

1377
01:05:58,160 --> 01:05:59,439
Speaker 4: but that one should be a fun watch.

1378
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 3: I have no idea what's gonna happen there.

1379
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: I think if Staley loses, there's a chance that he's

1380
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Gonzo come Monday morning, because they need a spark. They

1381
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't write off the season just yet. And maybe they

1382
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: give basically Killen Mora whatever a fourteen game interview.

1383
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 2: Essentially, that's my that's my I could see.

1384
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, predicting them to lose.

1385
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: I got no clue what's going to happen. Wouldn't shock

1386
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: me either way. I mean, I can see Cousins throwing

1387
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. I could also see the Chargers beating him

1388
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns. Yeah, it's hard to Yeah, it's this

1389
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: game is probably the biggest wild card of the weekend.

1390
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say that the if you look at

1391
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 4: if you start Owen three, Yeah, if you don't get

1392
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 4: a spark in the AFC, it it starts to get

1393
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 4: ugly and scary quick. And I mean, oh and three,

1394
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 4: I think teams could start oh and three. I think

1395
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 4: of two percent have made the playoffs over the past

1396
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 4: ten years. And then you're you know, you have all

1397
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 4: the teams in the IFC North and someone from the

1398
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 4: FC South is gonna make it.

1399
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 3: And then you look at either the chief.

1400
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 2: The Dolphins, and the Dolphins, and the Chiefs are in.

1401
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're probably gonna have Ravens Browns. We'll see

1402
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 4: where the Bengals go. But you look at the Chiefs.

1403
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 4: The chief schedule coming up, Bears, Jets, Vikings, Broncos and

1404
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 4: then home against the Chargers Broncos. Again, Hey, they don't,

1405
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 4: they don't. The only team they play with will win

1406
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 4: over the next eight weeks is the Jets, who no

1407
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 4: longer have a quarterback. So the Chiefs are about that

1408
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 4: they might clinch my Halloween. Yeah, yeah, they're they're about

1409
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 4: to run out here on uh on the division. So

1410
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 4: you got Ozero and three and you don't get a spark,

1411
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:41,919
Speaker 4: it's over and then it gets real ugly.

1412
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, stuckey, Uh, let's let's have a weekend. Let's Saturdays
