Is Power Ranking Day Tuesday 34 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: in in season and of course we as we do 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: every week, we'll take a look at Dan Hanss's power 36 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: rankings on NFL dot Com. We're going two to one, right, 37 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: thirty two to one, as we do every week. More positive. 38 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: Who would have thirty two? There's there, it's a fierce battle. Yeah, 39 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: I think I'd go Houston. That's who he has because 40 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: it's tough to get them out of that last spot. 41 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they're just mean, they don't really have any talent. Yeah, 42 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: it's important they're going to trade away some of the 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: talent that they do have. But I mean they even 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: cut Whitney Merciless and you guys that can play. If 45 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: they had a defensive tackle that was worth anything, yeah, 46 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: he'd be a good call, you know, Yeah, you make 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: that call. This one draft picks, they just don't have anybody. 48 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here thinking them and the Jets are 49 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: really bad right now. However, that's interesting because they're thirty one. 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: That makes sense. Do you agree with me that there's 51 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: a chance this is kind of a fantasy nugget. Once 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: Flacco gets his feet under him there, their offense might 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: be better with him than Wilson. And that's not even 54 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: saying Joe is any good anymore. At least at least quarterback. 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: He knows where to go, you know, yeah, right right, 56 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: I mean Wilson swimming. Yeah, it might even be good 57 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: for Wilson did not play for a month too, and 58 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: just go watch. That's the problem that I had with 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: what they did the entire time. There nobody backing him up. 60 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: They should have kept Flacco. Got something, you know, Josh 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: McCowen or Matt Shaw or somebody somebody could talk in 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: his ear and say hey, here's what you need to do, 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: or when he makes a mistake, here's what I saw. 64 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: Was he learning from on that staff exactly? I mean 65 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the coaches are great, but it's nice to have a 66 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: go between two the left, which the Gradkowski. I mean, 67 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: all those type of dudes are valuable and for people 68 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: don't realize that when the ball was snapped opening day, 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: the Jets didn't have a quarterback that had attempted to 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: pass in the NFL. Like, that's bad, that's not a 71 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: good it's not a good play in for your young Wilson. 72 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter about trying to win this year. 73 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: Get somebody in there that who's taken NFL snaps, who 74 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: can talk him through some stuff. And I don't know 75 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: if Joe is the greatest mentor or whatever, but at 76 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: least he's been this point. He probably is. He realized, 77 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: like when he was in the Baltimore and he was 78 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: that that guy for Lamar probably wasn't the best. Not 79 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: exactly stylistically similar either. Not only that, but the guy 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: came in specifically to take your job, ye, and it's 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: been your job for a decade. And he's lightening up 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: practice and doing things you can't do. And you know 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: right now at this point, hey, he's been a backup 84 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: for a few years. He just wants to the paycheck 85 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: and just stick around for a few more years. So 86 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: you do that mentor job. Yeah, exactly. I mean frankly, 87 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I would think the Crowders and Corey Davis 88 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: is in the world. They'll probably get the football on time. 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: It won't be he's gonna make plays. He's like extend things, 90 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: but they'll know where to go with the ball and 91 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: what coverages you see and that kind of stuff. But 92 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: they should both be in the thirties. At thirty is Detroit. 93 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: They played hard. The only winless team in the league 94 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: is not at thirty. I think they're better than those 95 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: other two. Well, I mean they almost beat the Ravens, 96 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: They almost beat a lot of the almost they almost 97 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: beat the best thing you can say about them, right, 98 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: but haven't beat anybody. It's twenty nine holding steady. The Dolphins. Okay, 99 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: they could easily be the worst team in the league. 100 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 1: They're really bad. Yeah, they're really bad. Um, they played 101 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: Atlanta tough. They've had a miserable year. I think they're 102 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: better than those other teams though, they just the more 103 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: talent spiraling on them. And I know they just lost 104 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville across the pond, but I still think Jacksonville's 105 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: worse than them. That's as good as it can get 106 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: for the Jags. Now I'm lost the Washington football team. 107 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: It's gotten that bad. I mean, they're worse than the Giants. 108 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: And is not good. He's not good. You know, He's 109 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: just a run around, play make or type that doesn't 110 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: really play in rhythm or anything. Yeah, and maybe the 111 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: defense will get better, but they deserve to be there. 112 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: I guess a down two spots. The Philadelphia Eagles, they're 113 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: pretty bad. They're pretty bad. I think Washington wins a 114 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: series against the Eagles. I think very well could. Yeah, 115 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: they may have a better quarterback. I mean we were talking, coach. 116 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The Flacco trade now elevates Minshooting too 117 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: that it really excites me. I think Minho's gonna start 118 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: games this year and soon maybe soon. Yeah, I mean 119 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: I'm predicting this. Minshew could be the Steelers next quarterback. 120 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: I think he'll be one of the thirty two next year. 121 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: That's my prediction on Minshew and show it a little 122 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: bit this year, down six spots. The Carolina Panthers. They're 123 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: miserable right now. I mean even their defense that was 124 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: good is not playing well. Quarterback keeps turning football, right. No, 125 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: they they've earned it. The Eagles would be my last one, though, 126 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: of those three twenty four up three spots. The New 127 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: York Giants. They did some things. Yeah, it's about as 128 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: good as it's gonna get for them to holding steady. 129 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears, they're pretty miserable too. They're bad. Teams 130 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: are really bad, right, I mean again we always thought 131 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: with this, you folks who think the Steelers are gonna 132 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: lose out and get a top five pick. I mean, 133 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: like all these teams we mentioned are not close to 134 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: the Steelers. These are bad teams. Awful. This is the 135 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: worst bottom of the league that I can remember this history. 136 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they're all there. There's four of them deserving 137 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: in the first round, first overall pick, and I mean 138 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: that's a battle for that that honor at twenty two 139 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: holding steady. The Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, I don't know the 140 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Seattle beats Washington or the last two games they battled. 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: They battle, Yeah, I mean they don't don't have a 142 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: lot of talent either, And we were texting back and 143 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: forth to Gino's no good, he's off. Yeah, I mean 144 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 1: he awful for as long as he's been in the league. 145 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: The mental errors and things like as soon as the 146 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: pressures you know, down to distance, forget about it, you know. Yeah. Um. 147 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: Actually Pro Football for or Pro Football Talk last night 148 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: had a story up that said Justin Fields is on 149 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: a record setting rate for sacks or something like that, 150 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: and I took the headline and after that game was 151 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: over and said, Geno Smith's hold my my beer on 152 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: that because he doesn't feel it at all, you know, right, No, no, 153 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: he's not a good player. You got you got dk 154 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: Metcalf on the outside. In crucial situations, it's you need 155 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: to get down at least get a field goal to 156 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: extend the game. And he takes consecutive sacks and then 157 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: runs around and throws you know, right back to back. 158 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: Sat you don't even take a shot. You don't take 159 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: a shot, right, and they don't have much he just 160 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: ignores lock it right, yeah, and probably can can you 161 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: not see him? We were texting this too watching that game. 162 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: Was Everyone's gonna play too high and let you run 163 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: and don't let I mean, I know d K got 164 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: loose because he's an animal, but I mean in general 165 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: that it was like the only points of the night too. 166 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: I mean him and Lattimore are fighting out there, and 167 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: you know they don't have very good at players at 168 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: twenty one down a spot the Denver Broncos, that's where 169 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: they belong. I am a little excited about them, not real, 170 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: but Bridgewater is a lot healthier. I guess now Judy 171 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: is playing this week. I just read, so maybe they 172 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: turn it up a little. But the defense stilln't have 173 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: any linebackers. No, they don't. They're a team that should 174 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: be on the phone like with somebody trying to get 175 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: an inside line, get somebody that can play. Their guys 176 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: are all out for this year. These are like major injuries. 177 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean even like Avery Williamson deal from last year, 178 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: typing move for them that somebody that's played at twenty 179 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 1: up five spots the Atlanta Falcons. I was asked today 180 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: on my podcast, they're not good. They're not good. Could 181 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: they make there? Three wins have been against junk junk? Yeah, 182 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: I was asked, can they make the playoffs? You know, 183 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: and I immediately said that. But the NFC, are they 184 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: going to play the Jets? Are they going to play 185 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: the Dolphins? Are they going to play these teams every week? No, 186 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: they're not gonna. Offense is good. Are they gonna beat 187 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: a good football team? No? And I don't believe they 188 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: can make the playoffs. But the NFC is goofy. They're 189 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: gonna be like a six win team. They'll beat the 190 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: really bad teams on their roster or on their spot. 191 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: Ryan's playing well enough, and the offense is good. Defense 192 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: is bad, but their defense is just awful. Uh at 193 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: nineteen down two spots? The San Francisco forty Niners. Yeah, 194 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: I feel like they should be lower, but all the 195 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: teams you just mentioned are worse. Your boy Jimmy g 196 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: I think he's really good. Don't you think he's really thinks? 197 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: I can't. They need Lance to get healthy. Just give 198 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: him the ball. I mean, it's not even all Jimmy's fault, 199 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: but he has not playing. He's not good. I could 200 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: see them giving Jimmy one more start. I can't remember 201 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: who they play. They got a I think it's an 202 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: easy one coming out. Um, I can't remember who it's 203 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: against but it's their favorite. I forget it's maybe the Bears, 204 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: not the Bears. Yeah, the Bears, I think maybe, right, 205 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: Ye are right? I mean so they could. That's a 206 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: winnable game to them. If they win the game, they're 207 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: in the in the mix for that, you know, six 208 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: or seventh. But once they're out of it, you just 209 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: go to the kid. Here's one of the more mind 210 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: boggling things I've heard in a while. Mike Singletary, remember 211 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: his work with the Niners, has a better winning percentage 212 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: as the Niners head coach than Kyle Shanahan. The genius. 213 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: He is a great play caller, but he may not 214 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: be great at anything Else's he's a great play caller. 215 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: I think he's a great designer of offense. Yes, I 216 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: don't know that he's a greatnipulator of defenses. And okay, 217 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: I'll give you that. But he bungled up that Super 218 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: Bowl pretty badly. He did, he sure dide. What's crazy, though, 219 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: is like they trade up for sermon and remember he 220 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: loved Joe Williams, and they all get in, they all 221 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: get in the doghouse. Dante Pettis, Like all these guys 222 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: end up in the doghouse. Yeah, it's weird. Eighteen up 223 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: three spots. The New England Patriots, they're they're better than 224 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: all those teams we just mentioned. If they played the 225 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: Falcons right now, I don't know who I would pick 226 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: because they they've both done the same thing. They've beaten them. 227 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: They've beating the crap out of the bad teams that 228 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: are on her schedule. I mean, the Patriots have three wins, 229 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: they've beaten the Jets twice, maybe the Jet twice and 230 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: Houston in Houstons it would be I don't know if 231 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: they're any good or not. I don't know. I don't 232 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: think they are any good. I think there are six 233 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: or seven win team. I agree with all that. I 234 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: still would have them ahead of every team you mentioned, though, 235 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: because I'm like high. I mean, there's a lot of 236 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: bad there's some bad stuff going on with those teams 237 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: you brought up, though. I mean, if Atlanta is right 238 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: behind you in Chicago, their quarterback came and come complete passes. Yeah, 239 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: it's seventeen down a spot the Pittsburgh Steelers. So I 240 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: was about to say before you mentioned that that I 241 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: feel like there's gonna be a line now of these 242 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: teams aren't bad. You know, those eighteen in a row. 243 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: We're bad football teams, and they're well below average. I 244 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: don't know that the Steelers are the worst of the Yeah, 245 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: I don't say I'm curious who's ahead of them. But 246 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: it's sixteen, the Colts up two spots. I can see 247 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: moving them up there, trending in the right direction. Colts first, 248 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: Steelers is a is a conversation at fifteen down a spot. 249 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: The Vikings. They're like Steelers, they sat at home and 250 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: lost ground. But meanwhile they're the They're probably the seventh 251 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: seed in the NFC right now. I mean they are, Yeah, 252 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: at fourteen down five spots. The Kansas City Chiefs, Yeah, 253 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: that's right. I mean if they played the Vikings or 254 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers or the Patriots, they're favored by a lot. 255 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if they'd be favored by a lot 256 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: of this well, probably because Vegas is trying to get 257 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: the I mean that people, but they haven't. They haven't 258 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: been that team for the last year. So many things 259 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: wrong with them. Yeah, they really do. I mean, that's 260 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: what we talk about it yesterday. They got all those 261 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: big spreads last year and we're way below against the spread. 262 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: They don't rush the pass or they don't cover. Their 263 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: line is a run blocking line, and they don't run them. 264 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: They can't run the ball right right, I mean they 265 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: got a lot of problems that they're in great, great shape. Yeah, 266 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: it's terrific at thirteen holding steady the Cleveland Browns. It's 267 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of generous for the Browns for where they're at 268 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: right now. I guess they're a little healthier than that 269 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: Thursday night game, you know, that little break. I think 270 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: that's given Case Keenan a little too much credit. If 271 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: any other team was down to their backup quarterback at 272 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: this point, they would be because he's looking at this 273 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: based on what they are right now. Yeah, that's the 274 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: right here you have to do. It's just I mean 275 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: the teams are grouped with like I think the Vikings 276 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: are probably better than the Browns right this minute. Yeah, 277 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: I mean Cousins versus Kingdom is not closed. Yeah. Um, 278 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: I think Vegas agrees that the Steelers are a three 279 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: point hunderdog in the game this weekends, which tells me 280 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Vegas is they're even teams. Yeah, I mean that whole 281 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: group you mentioned, starting with the Steelers are all the 282 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: same tier. Like I don't think the Patriots are on 283 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: that tier. But those four or five teams you mentioned 284 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: are all about the same. My bed isn't the ones 285 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: you start mentioning now, I would say, yeah, they're better 286 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: than the Steelers. Number twelve is the Saints. I think 287 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: they're better than Steelers. Don't know what they are that offensive, 288 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: That offenses garbage. Defense is great. The defense is great, 289 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: but the offense, I don't know if the Yeah, I 290 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: don't know if the offense is better than the Steelers offense. 291 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: And the Steeler's offense is not played well, I don't 292 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: think it is. I think the Steelers is better, Yeah, 293 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: I really do. Right now, I do think their offense 294 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: is better. I think that the Saints d is better. 295 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: I think that it's in the conversation for the best 296 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: deal in the league this year. I was really impressed 297 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: with it. That's a terrible Seahawk team and you can't 298 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: count this, but I think Michael Thomas coming back could 299 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: do wonders for that team. When that's going to happen, 300 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: right right, I mean that's a side note. You can't 301 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: might be Week nine, that's not what they have right now. No, No, 302 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't count for they don't have any receivers. The 303 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: receivers are bad. They don't have any anything. They just 304 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: lost Andrew's pete probably for the year. Like, yeah, it's 305 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: not great. I would put them ahead of the Steelers 306 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: though without much hesitation. But they are a hard watch. 307 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: I mean last night's game was a hard walk, that 308 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: one to sit through. Yeah, at eleven up four spots. 309 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: They hold the number two seed in the a f 310 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: C right now, the Las Vegas Raiders. Are they getting 311 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: too little respect? No, because I mean we could figure 312 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: out who the top ten are, and I bet I 313 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: would put all of them ahead of the Raiders, but 314 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: they should be ahead of the Saints. I mean, my hunches, 315 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: I would have the Raiders at eleven. Okay, I mean 316 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: I'll be shocked if one of these teams, I think 317 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: it is worse at ten holding steady the Tennessee Titans. 318 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: Let just beat the Chiefs and the Bills back to 319 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: back at your own at your place. We we just 320 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: talked about the Chiefs not being a very good football team, right, 321 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: but you did beat the Bills the week before. I mean, 322 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: do you think Tennessee is better than Vegas? Right. Yeah, 323 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: we'll see if we think they're better than any of 324 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: these teams that are ahead of them. At nine down 325 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: a spot, the Chargers, Yeah, I mean they're three teams 326 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: on by all went down, you know. And I know 327 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: this is how it works because I've been the power 328 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: rancor before and sometimes it recency by as somebody has 329 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: to move up, you know, I mean Chargers coming off 330 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: a bad you know, bad taste in your mouth. Though 331 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: at eight down, three spots the Baltimore Ravens, that might 332 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: even be a little rich for them, I understand. You 333 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: have to put him ahead of the Chargers because they 334 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: just the Chargers. That was the outlier. We talked about 335 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: this a little time Power Ranking Tuesday. To like whatever 336 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: algebra we were taught, A is greater than B, so 337 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: B must be greater than see or whatever. You know, 338 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way. This is the problem with 339 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: right where did the game take place at? Right? You 340 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: know that that to me matters as well. They played 341 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens. If the Ravens had to go to Los 342 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: Angeles right now, would they beat the charge I think 343 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens are a bad matchup for the Chargers. Yeah, 344 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: because they're gonna run it on their throat. But that 345 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're a better team. Yah. You know, if 346 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: you're ranking them, I don't think the Ravens are. We 347 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 1: went over that schedule yesterday. I don't know that they 348 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: might struggle to get to ten. You might be a struggle. 349 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: They did their reputation and Lamar and their record, and 350 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: those are important things, great organization, but what they've put 351 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: on the field is not the tenth best you've got. 352 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: You've had three games were given up more than five yards. Yeah, yeah, 353 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: and that's just in the last month. I mean, if 354 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: Tucker's kick doesn't go in in Detroit, this is the 355 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: last month, the last month. Yeah, if that sixty six 356 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: yard or hits the upright and doesn't go in their 357 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: fifteen funnel list, it's seven up four spots. The number 358 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: one seed in the FC, Cincinnati Bengals. I can't have 359 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: him in the top three or four. I mean, with 360 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: all respect, I mean they're going the right way. I'm 361 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: really impressed. I would put him ahead of Baltimore. I 362 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: can't put him ahead of Buffalo. I can't. There's five 363 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. They're all better than the Bengals. Well, 364 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: number six is Green Bay and they've got issues right now. 365 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: I think they're in trouble Thursday. They're in deep trouble 366 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: Tuesday or Thursday, I should say. And you know, they 367 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: could end up getting smoked in that game. They could. 368 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: There's a real good chance of it. I think it's 369 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: in Arizona. Yeah, I'm not pausible on that. It is. 370 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: It's a road matchup with the undefeated Cardinals. Davante. We'll 371 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: see about Davante Adams. He said he's he's vaccinated. He 372 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: could get the clearance in two days and be able 373 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: to pay. We still have time. Yeah, I mean that's 374 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: as big. But there's other guys who were you know, 375 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: it was an assistant coach to test the positive and 376 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: other guys had contact with him. I don't know if 377 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: the last show has dropped on that one yet. Interesting 378 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: and terrible timing on a short week. I've been impressed 379 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: with them though. I mean, what they've done on the 380 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: field doesn't blow you away, like, boy, they beat this 381 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: team by fifty, They just win. They just win, Yeah, 382 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: I say, and they did it six times in a 383 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: row after a horrible week one. If that doesn't incur 384 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: there too, that's why you pay the money for the quarterback. Yeah, yeah, 385 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback. That's the thing about it goes back to 386 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: our quarterback. The quarterback can put you in position to 387 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: win the super Bowl, to get into the playoffs, win 388 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: games you win, and you shouldn't do things like that. 389 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: The quarterback alone can't win you the super Bowl. You 390 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: need to have the pieces around him, without question, and 391 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: that's a balancing act when it comes to contract time. 392 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: Right at five, the Los Angeles Rams. These top five 393 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: I think could probably be in just about any order, 394 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't complain about it, So I'm cool with that. 395 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: I guess the Rams kind of get the short end 396 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: of the stick in terms of those five, But if 397 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: they had them at one, I'd be like, yeah, I 398 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: get it. Yeah. At four the Dallas Cowboys, but pretty 399 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: down good I would have the Rams ahead of the Cowboys. 400 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: I think I would too. Cowboys will probably be my five. Yeah. 401 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: At three, Cowboys versus Packers, um right now? Yeah, I mean, 402 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: if it's this week without Davante Adams, I'm taking to 403 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys all day long. I mean they only have one receiver. Yeah, 404 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: that's the problem with the way they built UM. At three. 405 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Another team that was off last week drops the spot. 406 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills. Okay, I mean they didn't do anything wrong, 407 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: but um, other than losing the Titans the last time 408 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: the last time we saw him didn't help their cause either. 409 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean they were one just two weeks ago, and 410 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: the Titans aren't an embarrassing loss. But yeah, I mean 411 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: they're fine. That would they be your number one a 412 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: FC team? Yeah, me too? Yeah at two up a spot. 413 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pretty good. They beat up on 414 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: bad team, they beat up on bade him, and they 415 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: have some injuries to corner. And maybe if they play 416 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: Buffalo right now, I'm picking I'm picking Buffalo. I would too. Yeah, 417 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: or even if they played the Rams right now, I 418 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: probably take the Rams. What about the Cardinals, I think 419 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: they're real. I'm gonna pick them over the Packers. What's 420 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: crazy is Kyler's like at the top of the list 421 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: as a passer, Like his passing has been tremendous. It's 422 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: get weapons all over the I mean they've done a 423 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: great job surrounding him with weapons. We're gonna get one 424 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: on once all over the field, even if it's a 425 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: J Green or Rondel Moore, who but his credit, he's fine. 426 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: He's identifying it and getting the ball to those He's 427 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: been very, very accurate with the ball. I think what's 428 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: kind of forgotten about them is they're in the conversation 429 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: for the best defense in the league. To the defense 430 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: has been great, it has. They get a bunch of 431 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: older guys on that defense. Things can go south quickly 432 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: in their corner situations a little rocky. And I almost 433 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: put Kingsbury and Taylor with the Bengals together too, in 434 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: terms of there's no Ben there, done it experience, you know, 435 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: like when there's gonna be rocky road ahead. I mean, 436 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: we'll see how those two coaches handling their number one obviously, 437 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: because just like we talked about two years ago, three 438 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: years ago, they had the first pick in the draft. 439 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: You know, two years ago, since I had the first 440 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: pick in the draft, they were the worst team in 441 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: the league. I mean, it's I've read some of the 442 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: long lines that no one's had the first pick in 443 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: the draft and then gone to the super Bowl within 444 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: like three year time frame, and they would be the 445 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: first ones if they were. Yeah, they were horrible back then. 446 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: If the Steelers beat the Browns this week. I don't 447 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: care how if it's ugly, pretty whatever, whatever it happens, 448 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: they win the game, Do they get the bigger Do 449 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: they get a big bump this week? Probably? I mean, 450 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm guilty of this. I think being on 451 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: a bye week hurts your your power week, your power ranking. 452 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: Cause just because you haven't seen them lately. Um, I 453 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: bet they'd go to thirteen ish. See. I look at 454 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: that game last night, and the Saints snuck by. They 455 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: snuck That's an ugly, messy game. You know. Seattle missed 456 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: two field goals in that game. Make up field goals. Um. 457 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: When I look back at what happened in the Steeler 458 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: game against them, that really doesn't count as a win. Well, 459 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: first of all, does nobody? And it was were people 460 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: in New Orleans looking at that game last thing, going well, 461 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: they beat the backup quarterback. They only beat them by 462 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: three points. That that doesn't count out right. It's on 463 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: the road in Seattle Monday night, the game in the NFL. 464 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: We're in a game in the NFL. I don't care 465 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: how you want it. You want um the same, the 466 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: same conversation you have you're having about the Ravens like 467 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: they they're not playing. They're not a great team, but 468 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: they were finding ways to win games without question. And 469 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm breaking any news to Stealer in 470 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: Nation here, but they're not gonna blow teams out and 471 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: win pretty you know. I mean every game is gonna 472 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: be like you gotta ugly, like like last night's game. 473 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm expecting in Cleveland Rivals. And 474 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: maybe it blow Detroit or maybe it blow maybe one 475 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: of those top bottom five teams are by and large, 476 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in seven point games. Yeah, and it 477 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: comes out of the last bounce or you know, a 478 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: big play here and there, that type of thing. I mean, 479 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: that's just the way. That's that's a recipe right now. Yeah, 480 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: I agree completely. Uh, that's gonna do it for this segment. 481 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. When we come back, it's 482 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: time for the Fantasy Football Focus. We will do that 483 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: right after this
