Speaker 1: of this time to get you fully ready for the

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: start of the NFL season. Last week we ran down

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: the entire AFC. Oh my god, sixteen teams. We got them,

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: We have wins. You know, who's going to win the division,

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: who will be the wild card teams, who will be

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: matched up in the conference championship game? And today we

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: are going to focus in on the NFC. Monsei wasn't

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: here last week, so we're going to get caught up

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: on her AFC picks, and then we're going to go

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: through this entire NFC ledger here. By the way, I've

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: already looked at like Chris, you know, who is well

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: known to have a certain tie to a team in Detroit.

37
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: He's come with like an encyclopedia of stats already for

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: today's show.

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: Never heard of them.

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Bo also is well prepared for it to because we sorry,

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I just saw it. Threw it out last week, not

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: this week. No, they And by the way we were

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: it was interesting for us last week because for the

44
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: most part you and I were pretty much on the

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: same page.

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: It was so weird because that is not that is

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: not us, that's not us. Normally we can't see et

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: eye on anything, but the versus the control room.

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, then the control and then you too. It was

50
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: like it was so strange.

51
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: Honestly, I thought for sure that my pigs would align

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: more with Bow's and Chris more with Steve's.

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: But it was the opposite.

54
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: It was Chriss and and and Bo, you and I

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: and it was well, I will say this, it does

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: draw like a hard border line, like one of us

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: are going to be very wrong on this side of

58
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: the glass and the group of us on the other

59
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: side of the glass.

60
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be one or the other. There's gonna be

61
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: no fair. Dogs're gonna have.

62
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 5: To lay down some wagers on some of this. Then

63
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 5: go back and look at some of the divides and

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 5: uh yeah, there's humiliation for whoever loses those battleground teams.

65
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

66
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: Now that I've had a week to think about it,

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 6: could I make adjustments to my AFC picks or.

68
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: No, there are no We have plenty of time to

69
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: think about it. The Stone now you you basically, Bo,

70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: being the uh super duper producer that he is, actually

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: kept track of all our picks except apparently you and

72
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: I and are Titans.

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have your Titans win total. Sorry, I

74
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: went everyone fell asleep when you mentioned Tennessee Titans. Tennessee Titans,

75
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: we all take a nap.

76
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: So well, you know what's so crazy is so after

77
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: that show, Yeah, I spent the week going back over

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: my my picks, and I liked, I liked many of them.

79
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I may I may be underrating the Titans a little bit.

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 2: I think maybe we all are, because no, no, no, no.

81
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the Patriots, I would have had

82
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: them solidly right at the bottom of it.

83
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: I have to know what the Tennessee Titans are to

84
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: actually rate them. I mean, and I don't the post

85
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry Era begins.

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: Hollered DeAndre hop this this is a retirement tire thrill.

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: They let they let uh will Malik Willis go. I

88
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 5: don't know what they are.

89
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I know the fact that Malik Willis is still on

90
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: a roster is beyond me anyway.

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: So, uh, we will get into the NFC picks.

92
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: But I want to open up Moncey's Mike first, guys,

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: because we do have to sort of bring her into

94
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: the mix. Bringing Now, she's not going to run down

95
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: the wins of everybody in the AFC, but she will

96
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: share with us her picks on the four division winners,

97
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: the three wild cards, and then the two teams that

98
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: will face off in the AFC Championship Game.

99
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: So, Mance, what do you gotcha?

100
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 7: I'm gonna start with the easy one. The AFC West

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 7: will be the chiefs Chieves.

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: That makes them.

103
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a shocker. Go ahead.

104
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 7: I think it's pretty easy. Also for the AFC South,

105
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 7: it's going to be the Texans. I think that win

106
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 7: that division.

107
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: Well, we had differences of opinion there.

108
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 7: In my opinion, I think it's easy. In my opinion,

109
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 7: that one I didn't have to thing too hard about.

110
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: So far, Monsei is aligned with the Control.

111
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: I was going to say, because Rich and I were

112
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville there and you guys are all with.

113
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 7: Houston and I you know, I think I see why

114
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 7: you picked Jacksonville.

115
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 8: But no, I'm gonna stick with Houston on this one.

116
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Okay, what about that North?

117
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 9: Okay, the AFC North gets a little hard, but I'm

118
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 9: taking the Cincinnati Bengals, thank you very much, Bengals for

119
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 9: the AFC North.

120
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: And then the East Hi the AC East.

121
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 7: Also, I'm taking the Jets.

122
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: Okay, now, this is ridiculous Jets. So Adam Kaplan. Guys

123
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: came on our show yesterday, Richie ready for this, Yeah,

124
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: so we were.

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: I was talking to Adam about the AFC.

126
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: I didn't divulge who our picks were, but I asked him,

127
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I I believe that you know,

128
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: a healthy Joe Burrow, if he can stay healthy, obviously

129
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: makes a huge difference for the Bengals. Who do you

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: think is the second best team in the AFC behind

131
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs?

132
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: He picked the Jets. Okay, so hear me out here.

133
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even have the Jets making the

134
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: pull playoffs.

135
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 8: Have been on that train the entire time.

136
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: Notice I didn't interrupt Adam Kaplan. I was I was

137
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: straining myself.

138
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, but he's Steve has felt like this for weeks.

139
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: I know, Look, he is not. He doesn't get Aaron

140
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: Rodgers n He didn't get it at the start of

141
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: last season. So this is really another year in the

142
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: making in terms of what he thinks the Jets are

143
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: gonna look like with Rogers at the helm.

144
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 3: I'm a fan.

145
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: I think in terms of his game, there's very few

146
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who can elevate a roster the way he can.

147
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: In the NFL currently or overall. He is that talented

148
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: of a quarterback win healthy obviously, and so I think

149
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: the Jets are gonna have a double digit win season.

150
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: I have him down for ten wins.

151
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 2: I have them just missing the playoffs because I feel

152
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: like the Steelers are going to beat them in Pittsburgh

153
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: mid season, and Steelers will finish at the bottom of

154
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: the AFC Conference with ten wins as well.

155
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: With that one win will be the tie breaker and it'll.

156
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: Be a Rod just heading off on his darkness retreat,

157
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 2: or maybe he's gonna have his aahuasca team considering his future.

158
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 6: I just got a text from the edit bay Ian

159
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 6: says he's never pulling sound for Steve again.

160
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: Wow he did.

161
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,680

Speaker 6: the New York time.

163
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: Know, well, we did have to pull the rappers in.

164
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 5: This is where Monsi has actually really swerved on us.

165
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: She's the only one here who has the Jets winning

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: the AFC East. She is the only one with the Jets.

167
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: The other that US had the Bills and Rich had

168
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,360

00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: Crew.

171
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Well, how about this rich So I'm asking Adam Kaplan

172
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: after he makes this Jets thing, I said, well, who

173
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: do you think is going to have a better year

174
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four? Joe Burrow or Aaron Rodgers? And

175
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,160

00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: They're both coming off of injuries. Though I get the pause.

179
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has turned I mean forty one during the season,

180
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: and you think he is egan in the conversation.

181
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: With Joe Burrow.

182
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,640

Speaker 2: to sing him Happy Birthday. That whatever Sunday show that is.

184
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: I think we should all join in.

185
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 8: I'll bring in a cake.

186
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: So who needed a Titans pick? Which which Titans pick?

00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 2: wins for the Titans, and like I said, you know, Bo,

191
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 2: you and me are kind of in the same boat

192
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: wanting to relitigate some of our picks. I I went

193
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: back and looked at some of the preseason games that

194
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: will lavis played. I look back at some.

195
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Of preseason, I know, what are you doing?

196
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: Season gauge? What did you think of Aaron Rodgers? Preseason

197
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: took a lot? There wasn't a lot. Did I have

198
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: five or six wins? Okay?

199
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: And you had the Titans at five wins?

200
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,960

209
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 7: Okay, and this is where I have a hard time.

00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna lie Dolphins, Dolphins.

211
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,600

Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, this is gonna be a unique start to

Speaker 2: football to open up the season Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. Yeah,

00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: so that Monday night er is really exciting. We'll get

273
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: to that in a little bit here. It's going to

274
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: feature the New York Jets going all the way across

275
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: the country to Levi Stadium to take on the San

276
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers. That'll cap the first weekend of football.

277
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: But is there any game on the docket that's sticking

278
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: out to you that like that's a must watch for me?

279
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: Oh?

280
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: I like the Rams Lions game. Yeah, Oh, that's huge.

281
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's a rematch obviously in the playoffs, and

282
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, again doing television in Los Angeles and you know,

283
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: getting a lot of Sean McVay feed as they get

284
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: ready for this game.

285
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: They're a little banked up on the offensive line.

286
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: And well, we're going to get to that because we're

287
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: going to start with the NFC West as we give

288
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: our predictions on how these eagel fair in the twenty

289
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: twenty four season now will go alphabetically, which means we're

290
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: going to start with the Arizona Cardinals. Now, remember a

291
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: year ago Cliff Kingsbury out Jonathan Gannon in he had

292
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: been the defensive coordinator for Bo's beloved Eagles, And you're thinking,

293
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: all right, they're gonna put emphasis on defense, and they

294
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: promptly gave up the second most points in the league

295
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: last year.

296
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: That's right.

297
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: So the idea that you know, okay, we're going to

298
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: be more of a defensive minded team did not pan

299
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: out in twenty twenty three. Only the Commanders gave up

300
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: more points last season than the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals

301
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: are banking on two things this year, a healthy Kyler

302
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior living up to the hype.

303
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: Right right, those are.

304
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: The two things.

305
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Because I'm getting an earful I believe me, I've heard

306
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: more Gannon than anyone here because I'm hanging out in

307
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: the Phoenix area these days.

308
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: No, that's right.

309
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: He underwhelms me every time I see this guy in

310
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: an interview sit But that's okay. I mean, I've been

311
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: underwhelmed by very successful coaches. But I'm going to get

312
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: this thing started.

313
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: Guys. As far as Arizona four win team a year, Ago.

314
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: I really want to believe that there are going to

315
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 1: take a step forward. I've never wavered in my fanship

316
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison. To me, Junior is

317
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: going to be the real deal. But that being said, defensively,

318
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: this team is still not good. I'm going to give

319
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals an upgrade, but only to six wins

320
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: coming up here in twenty twenty four. Rich, That feels right.

321
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: However, I will say this, the Arizona Cardinals played a

322
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: lot of teams really tight last year, and they played

323
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: a lot of really good teams really tight last year.

324
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: They have the situation that they had at quarterback, Kyler

325
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: Murray back and healthy assumedly for an entire season. We

326
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: always assume that to start a year, unless there's like

327
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: a specific concern that may hold somebody out of participating

328
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: early in the season, like last year. For the Arizona Cardinals,

329
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna be different. And I think he sounds more

330
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: motivated than I've ever heard him. But buy in factor

331
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: for Kyler Murray's high. I'm gonna give them seven wins.

332
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm at the wins the Arizona Cardinals seven wins, all right?

333
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: I have six, which ass seven Bowl?

334
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: You're up next?

335
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: How do you see the Arizona Cardinals.

336
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 6: Marvin Arison Junior has been like an NFL wide receiver

337
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 6: for the past three years now playing in college, so

338
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 6: I think the transition for him is going to be

339
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 6: super easy. And yeah, like weridg said, they played a

340
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 6: lot of guys hard. I think they beat the Eagles

341
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 6: last year when the Eagles were falling apart. So but

342
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 6: I think you guys are right. I'm gonna seven ten.

343
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: We're creeping up a little bit here. What do you

344
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: got for us? Chris?

345
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 5: I think the one thing in the Cardinals favor is

346
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 5: I'm trying to look at their schedule right now. I

347
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: always like teams that kind of have a middle of

348
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 5: the road bye week. I mean week eleven, though I

349
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: don't know if that's the middle of the road, but

350
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 5: still that's good time to get refreshed. You play some

351
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: of your big, big games early on at home, like

352
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: Los Angeles and Detroit. I think they can. You know, they,

353
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 5: as you say, play a lot of game. Teams tough,

354
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: but I'm not as much as we focus on the offense,

355
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 5: as you say, they want to be defensive heavy and

356
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if they can really do that out there.

357
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 5: Shouldn't overlook Trey McBride as their tight end either, but yeah,

358
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: I'm kind of settling into the spirit is very eager

359
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 5: to go out and break faces, but the flesh is

360
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 5: kind of needs to do a few more push ups.

361
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 5: I've got them at seven and ten.

362
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: All right, another seven wins, Monsei.

363
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 7: I just quickly jotted down looking at their schedule, and

364
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 7: I counted the wins.

365
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 8: I counted. I have them winning seven.

366
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did.

367
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 8: That's literally what I did, And I have them winning seven.

368
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 7: I hope Marvin Harrison Junior is going to kick ass

369
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 7: because he's in one of my fantasy teams already. Yeah,

370
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 7: but he can still kick ass and they still lose.

371
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: Oh you know what I mean.

372
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 8: So I have them right now jotting it down seven.

373
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: All right, So everyone's at seven, but me, I'm at six?

374
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: Would you like to?

375
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: And that's because I get to actually see Gan and

376
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: interviewed a lot, so every time I see him, as

377
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: you know, it brings it down a notch.

378
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: So alright, maybe revising this next week is what you're saying.

379
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 3: There's no revision. I am on the books. We are

380
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 3: on the books right now.

381
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals will go six and eleven in my prediction.

382
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next alphabetically in the NFC West,

383
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles a Rams, a team that shocked the

384
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: world a year ago, certainly shocked me because I picked

385
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: them to be the worst team in the league after

386
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: a conversation I had with an actual Rams player before

387
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: the season began, I asked them, I think the over

388
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: under on the Rams was like six or something like

389
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: that a year ago, six and a half.

390
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: I said, what do you think under the player? They

391
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: had no depth.

392
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: They still had a question mark, you know, with Matthew

393
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: Stafford coming off an injury. Cooper Cup was not going

394
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: to start the season. I mean, it was a mess.

395
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: And what happens Pooka Nakua. He sets rookie records for

396
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: receiving yards.

397
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: Kiren Williams leads.

398
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: The NFL in rushing yards per game both the Pro

399
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: Bowls and no one could have predicted this. But here's

400
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: the thing about the Rams as we head into this

401
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: year ten and seven. A year ago, they were a

402
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: playoff team. I don't think you can overstate the loss

403
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: of Aaron Donald. I'm sorry Aaron Donald is one of

404
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: the top three defensive players of the last twenty years,

405
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: most dominant. He might be the most dominant interior defensive

406
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: lineman of all time, and the Rams will feel the effect.

407
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: I say this many times, guys bounce of the balls.

408
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: A difference between ten and seven and seven and ten,

409
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: that's where the Rams are gonna end up. I got

410
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: the Rams at seven and ten this season, all right.

411
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: I do think that Aaron Donald is one of those

412
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: teams that can knock you down a win without him

413
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: in your starting lineup. He's that talented. You said one

414
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: of the top three in the past twenty years, I say,

415
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: one of the top three defensive players in the history

416
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: of the NFL.

417
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: I mean he is, in my opinion, the most dominant

418
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman.

419
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: Of all time. And there's no doubting that.

420
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: So with all of that said, I had the Rams

421
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: hovering somewhere around eleven wins. I think they're going to

422
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: be a double digit win team. I think I'm putting

423
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: them at ten wins.

424
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 4: Wow.

425
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: Wow.

426
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: I have a lot of belief in Matthew Stafford.

427
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: A lot of people underrate Matthew Stafford, and I don't

428
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: know why that guy is incredible. He is a scientist

429
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: with the football and he's a surgeon with his accuracy.

430
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 3: You saw the the.

431
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: What Cooper Cup and and Puka Nakua could do for

432
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: a half season. Because Cup was injured to start the year.

433
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 2: You get him for a full season again, assuming health.

434
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: This is going to be a gauntlet for any defense

435
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: to get through. Offensively going against the Rams, how do

436
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: you game plan for all the weapons they have on

437
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 2: that field?

438
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: Well, the one thing we do to know about a

439
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: Sean McVay offense, it only really clicks whether it was

440
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: Jered god or Matthew Stafford when you have a running game.

441
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: Last year, Kira Williams gave him that. Can he do

442
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 3: it again? All right?

443
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Both very different here. How do you look the Rams

444
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: coming up?

445
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 6: I don't think Kira Williams is gonna be their started running back.

446
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 6: I think that's Blake corum mm hmm. There's a reason

447
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 6: Kile Williams is the punt returner.

448
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: Now.

449
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Blake korm is gonna slide right in.

450
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 6: And I think this is gonna be like a power

451
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 6: running team. I actually looked at their schedule this time.

452
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 6: It's not that bad. It's very backloaded. I think they're

453
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 6: gonna win eleven games. I think the Rams are just

454
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 6: a good team. I don't know, there are some people

455
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 6: in this building that kind of struggle with the idea

456
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 6: that the Rams are a good football team that knows

457
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 6: what they're doing. Losing Aaron Donald is tough. But Kobe

458
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 6: Turner's really good. And they did, once again draft really

459
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 6: well because that's what they do when they don't have

460
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 6: first round picks. And they did have a first round

461
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 6: pick and they drafted really well with that pick and

462
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: the second round pick. So I just think they're a

463
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 6: good teams. So I'm slotting them in eleven wins.

464
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: All right.

465
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: So I am on an island right now, Chris, Where

466
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: are you leaning with the Rams?

467
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 5: So there's always big ifs when it comes to the

468
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: Rams and their health, and I want to be high

469
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: on them right now, and you know what, I kind

470
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 5: of am high on them, But I got to say,

471
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 5: coming out of the gate with your starting left tackle suspended,

472
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: and now you're talking about moving your big acquisition interior

473
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 5: guard Jonah Jackson playing him center, which I don't know

474
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 5: if Jonah Jackson has played former Detroit Lion I don't

475
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 5: think Jonah Jackson has played center before, which seems like

476
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 5: a very big ask, tremendously big ask.

477
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: I don't.

478
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 5: I don't know what they're really thinking they're but I

479
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: think they'll. The good news is that, as as both says,

480
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: kind of backloaded, I think they figure some stuff out

481
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: and they're probably off to a rocky start.

482
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: But I like this team a lot.

483
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 5: Again, it comes with the big caveats off if healthy,

484
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 5: if Stafford healthy, if Puka Nakua healthy, if Cooper Cup healthy.

485
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 5: This is still a team that has and I know

486
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 5: we talk a lot about Aaron Donald, but they still

487
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 5: have some playmakers on defense. They still have Kobe Turner,

488
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 5: they drafted Jared Verse. I like where they're going. I

489
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 5: like the style of football they're playing. I'm going to

490
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 5: say I too, will say eleven wins.

491
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So we got a lot of faith in

492
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: the Rams here except for yours truly, And see where

493
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Monci's leaning right now.

494
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 8: I am, y'all like, I think they maybe can win nine.

495
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 8: Maybe that's like me.

496
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 7: There's a couple of games I'm looking at here where

497
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, they could win, they could lose.

498
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 8: But no more than nine for the Rams.

499
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: So you're saying nine nine, nine.

500
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 8: Nice, and I actually want to say under nine.

501
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 3: You have to see now or hold your peace?

502
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 8: Can I say eight and a half?

503
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: No, you have to go eight or seven and one.

504
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, both these guys picked the time

505
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: the last week.

506
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 7: I'll stick to nine and I'm not comfortable.

507
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: All right, So nine and eight.

508
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: So obviously you guys, by the way, are we calling

509
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: wild card or way to the end of the division?

510
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: Wait till the end of the division, all right. So

511
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: let's move on to the Seattle Seahawks. Of course, they

512
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: have a new coach now, Mike McDonald taking over for

513
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. McDonald another defensive coach getting an opportunity. He

514
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: was the coordinator defensive coordinator for the Ravens a year ago.

515
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 3: Obviously the Ravens one of the better defenses.

516
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: Young guy, just thirty seven years of age, came out

517
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: of the University of Georgia.

518
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: I'd say this about Seattle.

519
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: When you're making a change like this, when you've had

520
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: a long time coach that leaves like Pete Carroll, with

521
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: all this success that Pete Carroll had, everyone saying, well,

522
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: that's a tough spot to put a first time head

523
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL, to have to follow up a

524
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: guy that probably will be in Canton, Ohio someday. So

525
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: the question is how Mike o'donald do. So I was

526
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: really looking at the Seahawks season last year. It was

527
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: really an interesting year because they finished nine and eight,

528
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: but they had some pretty ugly losses last year. I

529
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: mean they lost to the Ravens thirty seven to seven.

530
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: Put it this way, they were outscored by thirty eight

531
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: points last year and they had a winning record. So again,

532
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: nine and eight sounds a little deceptive and actually how

533
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: good this team was a year ago. But that being said,

534
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: since I'm not super high on either the Cardinals or

535
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: the Rams, I think Seattle will be actually the runner

536
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: up in this division, but not nine wins. I will

537
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: have them for eight, making it three losing teams in

538
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: the NFC West.

539
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh my gosh.

540
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: And by the way, team so so far you have

541
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 2: Cardinals at six wins, Rams at six wins, No Rams

542
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: at seven seven, Okay, Seahawks at eight. So we're graduating

543
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna go out to the nine win team, right.

544
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: But I you know, I still have faith in the

545
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Seattle offense. So I'm gonna put Seattle at eight and nine.

546
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: Rich So I had the Rams at ten wins, I

547
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: have the Cardinals at seven. I have the Seahawks at

548
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: seven wins. Again, if you look at the Seahawks schedule

549
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: and you just close your eyes and you imagine some

550
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 2: of these matchups, they are going to get mopped up

551
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: by a lot of teams. Now, they do have some

552
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: candy bars on the list. They're gonna play the Bears,

553
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: which that's late in the season. If Kayleb Williams end

554
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: up being something that could be a toughye, they play

555
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: the Giants. There are some some free spots on the

556
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: Bengo bar aboard, it seems. But I don't have a

557
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: lot of faith in a Seattle team with a kind

558
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: of a sparse collection of sometimes superstars. I mean, you know,

559
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: we saw Geno Smith two years ago. He talked about

560
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: how he didn't right back. Well he hasn't written since,

561
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: so I don't know. I'm not as big a believer

562
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: as I used to be. That was a fun story

563
00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: for a year.

564
00:25:59,400 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: What was that?

565
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty two season amazing, and it's really gone

566
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: stale since So unless they have a rejuvenation of the

567
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: run game or something fantastic happens defensively for Seattle, it's

568
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a whole home season.

569
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: Seven wins, seven wins all? Right, bo, where are you

570
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: with the Seahawks?

571
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 6: I I don't think they're gonna be very good. Mike McDonald,

572
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 6: I think is a legit coach in the NFL. The

573
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 6: Michigan defense that they ran, Yep, You're gonna start seeing

574
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 6: that across the league, and all of the smart head

575
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 6: coaches are gonna try to adopt parts of that into

576
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: their own defense. So their defense might be good. But I,

577
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 6: like Rich said, I don't think Gino Smith is actually good.

578
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 6: Like I'll deploy this later with another team too, But

579
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 6: I think a quarterback that's in the NFL for multiple years,

580
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 6: they don't just suddenly get really good out of nowhere,

581
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 6: like teams generally know who they are. So I don't

582
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 6: think Geno Smith is good. And also, like you know,

583
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 6: I don't like Patrick Sweeka that much, So I'm gonna

584
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 6: knock a couple wins off the total. So yeah, I'm

585
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 6: gonna have them at five wins this year.

586
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: Five wins all right, So Seattle bringing up the rear

587
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: and Bo's standings in the NFC West. Chris, So, this

588
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: is one again one of those teams where it's like

589
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: I finally look at the roster and I'm like, wow,

590
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: they've really changed.

591
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: I don't know who any of these guys are.

592
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 5: But more than that, I look at their record from

593
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 5: last year and let me let me count this here. One, one,

594
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 5: two is that Okay, they only won two games by

595
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 5: more than a touchdown. Every other game was within one

596
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 5: Every last one of their wins besides Carolina and New

597
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 5: York and Arizona, so three wins. Excuse me? Only three

598
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 5: of their wins came by more than one score. I know,

599
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 5: in overtime. In overtime, mind you. But like there's kind

600
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 5: of this, there's kind of this thing that happens in

601
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 5: the NFL where there's a lot of one score wins

602
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 5: or a lot of one score losses, and there's this

603
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 5: return to the mean on the other side. Likewise, I

604
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: was looking at their losses. I think they only had

605
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 5: like three or so that were like, again a touchdown

606
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 5: or more. So, I'm on the belief they're gonna be coming.

607
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 5: They had a lot of close wins that I just

608
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 5: feel like are gonna come back down to earth. I likewise,

609
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 5: do not really believe in Geno Smith. A whole hell

610
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 5: of a lot you're bringing in new coach. There's a

611
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 5: lot of warning signs all over the place. I have

612
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 5: them down for six wins, all right.

613
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Not much coming out of the control room as far

614
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: as a prediction for the Seahawks or are you monci.

615
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 8: I agree with a lot of what the fellows say.

616
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 7: Like it's not that I don't think Geno Smith is bad,

617
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: He's fine, but I don't think he is going to

618
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 7: be their savior. There's a lot of new happening with

619
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 7: the Seahawks new teams.

620
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 8: So it's just like I have them at seven wins.

621
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: Okay, okay.

622
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: By the way, Mike McDonald never played football in college.

623
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: He did play a little baseball in football in high school,

624
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: but had some injuries. He did those study finance at

625
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: the University of Georgia. I don't know another another one

626
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: of these analytics guys. One of the analytics guys.

627
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: We're going to see a lot of fourth down conversion

628
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 2: try We're going to wrap up the NFC West with

629
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers but first let's.

630
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: Find out what it's trending right now.

631
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: Montse trying to do five jobs.

632
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: Do we have it update?

633
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we got some baseball going on.

634
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 7: There is only one college football game, but it's much

635
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 7: later in the day, so we do have some baseball

636
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 7: going on right now.

637
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 8: With the Brewers now on top of the Reds three

638
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 8: to two, bottom of the fifth inning.

639
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 7: The Padres and the Rays are on a rain delay

640
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 7: in Tampa top of the first inning. We have to

641
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 7: mention last night that show. Hey, o Tani hit another

642
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 7: home run. I mean, he's just killing it, but he

643
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 7: hit a home run. Mooki hit a home run. Then

644
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 7: Freddie Freeman hit a home.

645
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: First time in Dodger history, Dodgers' history that the first

646
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: three batters of the game hit home run.

647
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it's very difficult to do, and it was

648
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 7: an exciting game. The Dodgers did end up beating the

649
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 7: Diamondbacks eight to six. They have a four game series.

650
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 7: They've won the first two, so we'll see how it ends.

651
00:29:59,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 8: We do.

652
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 7: You have some tennis coming up at the US Open.

653
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 7: Cocoa Golf Emma Navarro, both Americans, Coco Goff third seed

654
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 7: and Navarro thirteen seed.

655
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 8: They're gonna get going in the fourth round. It's supposed

656
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 8: to be around two thirty Eastern.

657
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 7: Times, so we'll see what time they actually start, and

658
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 7: then we have the Tour Championship in golf. Scotti Scheffler

659
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 7: still in the lead. He did already tea off for

660
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 7: the day. He is currently one under through two holes

661
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 7: for today and he is at the top of the

662
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 7: leaderboard at twenty seven under par. Scotti Scheffler. Colin Moore

663
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 7: at Kawa is seven shots back. He's the closest one

664
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 7: and he has won over.

665
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 8: Through two holes for the day.

666
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: Back to you guys, all right, MONTI well, don't go anywhere.

667
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna want to figure out.

668
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: Can I can ask a question about something, Mont? You

669
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 6: just said real quick? How are the Tampa Bay Rays

670
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 6: in the San Diego padres and a rain delay?

671
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: Very carefully? Do the Tampa Bay Rays not playing in

672
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: a dome stadium? Yes? Is it leaking? I don't know, Wow,

673
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: that is forgot you close it?

674
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Or maybe at mount I'm going to imagine it's got

675
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: to be something with like lightning and maybe.

676
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 8: Something like that. Yeah, because it is. I was thinking

677
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 8: the same thing but delayed.

678
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: It is also like have we ever seen that before though,

679
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: with an indoor stadium having a weather delay.

680
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: Dude, it's not an indoor stadium, but you remember the

681
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: sofar it's a roof stadium. It's not an indoor but

682
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: we remember we had that weather situation with them.

683
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: Maybe they got like, you know, that's not a dome.

684
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: Maybe they left drops a full dome.

685
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: They left, Yeah, the sunroof. All right, guys, we are

686
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: finishing off the NFC West right now with the reigning

687
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: NFC West champion, reigning NFC champion San Francisco forty nine ers.

688
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: Ayuka is back, and of course they sure we'll get

689
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Trent Williams signed to a deal. I don't think there

690
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: will be any doubt about that. You know, there's always

691
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: this thought about a team that you know, gets to

692
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and loses, they have a down year

693
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: the following year. I don't bite with the forty nine ers,

694
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: as I say, I don't have a lot of faith

695
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals, Seahawks and Rams this year. I think

696
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers just mop up the NFC West

697
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: and I just gotta believe that Brock Purdy is going

698
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: to be better than he was the year before. I mean,

699
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: this guy is a legit quarterback. He has led his

700
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: team now to a Super Bowl, and his record is

701
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: only gonna get better. So a year ago they were

702
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: twelve and five, I tick him up to thirteen and

703
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: four for the forty nine ers. This year, Oh, I can't.

704
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: I can't get there. This team is great, there's no

705
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: question about it. But there are still questions about brock Purty.

706
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: We saw some.

707
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: Nerves, let's call it nerves for probably about five quarters

708
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: of his playoffs, maybe more than that outside of the

709
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I'm discounting the Super Bowl for a moment.

710
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: Leading up to the Super Bowl, about five of the

711
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: quarters he played in were really shaky. Now, he pulled

712
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: it together both against the Green Bay Packers and the

713
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, but there was a shaky half against against

714
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: the Lions, there was a shaky three quarter against the Green.

715
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: Bay Let's see at the end of those games. I mean,

716
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: he was incredible. I mean, I'm not saying but real.

717
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: Shaky, real shaky up until the second half against.

718
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: Mahomes a little shaky for much of last year.

719
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: Mahomes and brock Purty are not the same human being.

720
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Okay, here's what I will say about

721
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: Brock Purdy. I'm very impressed with him. I think that

722
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: he can lead them to a double digit win season.

723
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: You look at their schedule, it's treachery. They play the

724
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: AFC East. I could see them very easily splitting against

725
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: AFC East two and two against that division. They play

726
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: against the Dallas Cowboys on their regular season roster. That

727
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: is a very tricky game in the regular season. Typically

728
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: for the forty nine Ers, they play against the Green

729
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: Bay Packers on the road in the regular season. Jordan Love,

730
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: like I said, three tough quarters for Brock Purty against

731
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: the Packers. Jordan Love looked pretty good out there. I'm

732
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: just saying, there's treachery on this on this schedule, I

733
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: have the forty nine Ers at eleven wins, and I

734
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: don't even love that number. I was close to put

735
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: them down for ten. But I'll give them eleven wins

736
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: this season.

737
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: All right. I have thirteen. Rich has eleven. Won't worry

738
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: you with the forty nine ers.

739
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 6: I'm very annoyed because I actually thought about this pick

740
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 6: during the course of the week, and then yesterday's event

741
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 6: took place. And I don't want to invoke that in

742
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 6: what I say, but you also kind of can't help it.

743
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 6: The forty nine ers feel like a team that have

744
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 6: every problem that a team that won the Super Bowl has,

745
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 6: except they didn't actually win the Super Bowl. They've dealt

746
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 6: with lockouts, offseason, holdouts all offseason. They finally got one done,

747
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 6: they still have to worry about another one rock Party

748
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 6: hasn't looked good, and obviously what happened yes today with

749
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 6: Racky Pierce all is something that's gonna have to be

750
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 6: addressed throughout the season and hope that everything's okay, but

751
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 6: that is still a distraction for your football team at

752
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 6: the end of the day. So I just I just

753
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 6: feel like there's a lot working against the San Francisco

754
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 6: forty nine ers in terms of winning their division again.

755
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 6: But they're also just probably a better team than everybody else.

756
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna slot them in at probably twelve wins,

757
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 6: but it's gonna be a tough twelve win season for them.

758
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: All Right, you have twelve Chris, where are you with

759
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: the Niners?

760
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

761
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 5: I kind of agree with a lot with Bose saying

762
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 5: I'm glad to see them get the brand and I

763
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 5: you deal done, but I'm also very terrified that Trent

764
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 5: Williams still doesn't have a deal. It's just hard to

765
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 5: do this every year. It's hard to keep winning this division,

766
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 5: especially in the NFC West, every single year, and it

767
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 5: just it feels like, and I'm sorry, but like everything

768
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 5: you're saying about Brock Purdy is what we were saying

769
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 5: about Jimmy Garoppolo too. Like I can't. I can't have

770
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 5: that kind of blind trust in here with what the

771
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 5: forty nine ers do on quarterbacks. I have them down

772
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: at ten and seven, which is probably disappointing by their standards.

773
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 5: I mean, I had the Rams at eleven, which means

774
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 5: they're not gonna win the division. But yeah, they'll, they'll

775
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 5: be in the playoffs. They'll be fine.

776
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 3: But I do think they are slated to take a

777
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 3: small step back this year. All Right, MANCEI wrap this up.

778
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: Where are you with the Niners?

779
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 7: I think it's it's do or die for the forty

780
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 7: nine ers this season. I see them winning just like

781
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 7: bo twelve games.

782
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: Twelve games, all right, So here's our rundown. I'll start

783
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: with yours. Truly, I have only one team out of

784
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: this division making the playoffs. Forty nine ers win the

785
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: NFC West, no wildcards, Rich, all right, I have.

786
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers also winning the NFC West. However, I

787
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: do have a wildcard the Rams with ten wins, they'll

788
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: get in, all right.

789
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: What do you got here, Bo?

790
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Niners are gonna win the division. But

791
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 6: I do think the Rams are gonna be a wildcard team.

792
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: All right.

793
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: You got the Rams as a wildcard, Chris, No, I

794
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: have the Rams winning the division.

795
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: San Francisco is a wildcard team, okay.

796
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 7: And Monci, I only have the forty nine ers they

797
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 7: win the division, and I don't have the Rams.

798
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 3: All right, So that is it. The NFC West is

799
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: now in the books.

800
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: On the other side, as we get ready in the

801
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: next hour to move on to the NFC South. Got

802
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: a little update on college football after a big day

803
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: yesterday and some big question marks about the future of

804
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: Dabo Sweeney at Clemson. This is Fox Football Sunday, Steve Harvey,

805
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: Rich Rnberger, Fox Sports Sunday, actually now officially Fox Football Sunday,

806
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: and we are live from the Tyraq dot Com studios.

807
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: First full Saturday of college football yesterday, but we go

808
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: back well the day started really bad for Clemson.

809
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

810
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: So they were competitive in the first half. Their defensive

811
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: front I thought outplayed Georgia in the first half, and

812
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: then the roof caved in in the second half and

813
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Clemson walked off the field with a thirty four to

814
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: three loss. This is a Clemson team for the better

815
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: part of this decade has been in the conversation for

816
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: national championship, but the last three years have suddenly seen

817
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: this team fall way off that mark, and Dabo Sweeney

818
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: is insistent that the transfer portal is not the way

819
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: to go. He has made it clear that you need

820
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: to have unity on a team, and the only way

821
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: to have unity on the team is for them to

822
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 1: fight together year after year instead of bringing twenty five

823
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: different guys from twenty five different schools and trying to

824
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: get these college kids on the same page. He believes

825
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: it is a team unity situation that ultimately will win

826
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: and get Clemson back on top.

827
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: You say, Rich, hey, Dabo, what do you call an

828
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: NFL coach who refuses to hire free agents?

829
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: Fired?

830
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: That's what you call an NFL coach who refuses to

831
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 2: hire free agents. That's where we're at in college football.

832
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: It's free agency. Improve your roster, Dabo. Everybody else is

833
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 2: doing it. It's time to catch up with the time.

834
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: What about chemistry. Chemistry is important. Guess what.

835
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: You can be a chemist and add I don't know,

836
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 2: a catalyst like acid to a base like baking soda,

837
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, boom, the volcano erupts.

838
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: It's it's chemistry when you add something, an ingredient that's

839
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 2: missing to something else.

840
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: Look, bread doesn't.

841
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 3: Rise unless you add yeast.

842
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: Okay, you have to have certain ingredients from the outside.

843
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: Even though you already have the flower and water, you

844
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 2: have that one little ingredient. It's a completely different tasting food.

845
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: Look, it adds another layer to what you're hired to

846
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: do and paid to do paid well.

847
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: Coach.

848
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: Yes, So if you've got a situation where you got

849
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces walking in the door and

850
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: they come from different programs, different systems from around the country,

851
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: your job as the coach is to put the pieces together.

852
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, it would be a lot more difficult to

853
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: do that than have the same guys in your system

854
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: over two to three to four years. So it just

855
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: seems to me like he's almost asking because the buyout

856
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: on his contract is astronomical. It's like he's almost begging Clemson. Fine,

857
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: you want to let me go. I gotta take it

858
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. With the record I've had Clemson,

859
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: I could call it a day. Yeah, I don't really

860
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: get it. I liken it to furniture shopping.

861
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: You may have a beautiful home, but it may be

862
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: missing a lamp in the corner, or a couch or

863
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: a love seat or a shay lounge in the backyard.

864
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: You go to a store, you pick it out, it

865
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 2: looks good on the showroom floor, bring it to your house,

866
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: and maybe it finishes the whole motif.

867
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: Dabbo.

868
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: There's plenty of players who want to play at Clemson.

869
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure go shopping, find some and then put that

870
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 2: damn couch or the patio furniture outside, and you're gonna

871
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 2: have a complete looking Uh what.

872
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: What do you call it?

873
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: A fench way.

874
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna turn our attention to the South. It was

875
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: the worst division in football last year. Will it be

876
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: the same? Find out?

877
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,000

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So you could check out our podcasts from

890
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: last week where we ran down the entire AFC. Today

891
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: we are focused on the NFC and giving our win totals,

892
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: playoff predictions, and everything else as far as the upcoming

893
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four season is concerned.

894
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: All right, guys, let's move on.

895
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: Let's not waste any time and move to the NFC South,

896
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: which a year ago was the worst division in football.

897
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 1: In fact, they've sort of been there the last couple

898
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: of years after the Buccaneers led by Tom Brady won

899
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. So this has been a division of change,

900
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: and we're going to start with a team that had

901
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: some big changes and that would be the Atlanta Falcons.

902
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons a year ago won seven games. They made

903
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: a change at coach. A lot of people thought it

904
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: was going to be Build Belichick as the new coach

905
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: of the Falcons.

906
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 3: It turned out to be Raheem Morris.

907
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: Raeye Morris has been a head coach before without a

908
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: lot of success, but he has been a very respected

909
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: coach in.

910
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: This league for a number of years.

911
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: They also acquired a quarterback by the name of Kirkussn's yep,

912
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: and a year ago before he blew his achilles. Let's

913
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: stress that blue his achilles. Statistically, he was having the

914
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: best year of his career. So this is a guy

915
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: that is capable. I don't know if you could term

916
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: him as an elite quarterback, but he's certainly in the

917
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: upper half of quarterbacks and the Falcons definitely have an

918
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: upgrade at that position. So my gut feeling on the

919
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, I'm going to give the thumbs up on

920
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: the Raheem Morris hiring. Yeah, and I'm gonna give a

921
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: thumbs up on the arrival of Kirk Cousins as a

922
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: major upgrade at the quarterback position. I'm taking the Atlanta

923
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: Falcons to turn a seven to ten record into a

924
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 1: ten and seven.

925
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: So kay, all right, we are close on this one.

926
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 2: Everything you just said, I completely agree. The upgrades they've

927
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: made to the defense, one of the fiercest secondaries in

928
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: the league, certainly the best in that division. You look

929
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,479
Speaker 2: at the offensive side of the ball, everything's there, everything's there.

930
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: Talk to anybody who just had a fantasy draft. Bijon

931
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 2: Robinson was one of the first players Moncey waving her

932
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 2: hand in the update anchor room. Everybody took Bjon Robinson

933
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 2: early in their drafts, and for good reason, because Kirk

934
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 2: Cousins can move the ball, he can create offensive momentum,

935
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: he can attack you on the deep end of the field.

936
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, defenses have to take players

937
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: out of the box. What's Bjon Robinson gonna do. He's

938
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 2: gonna feast all season long. So I'm a believer, A

939
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 2: big believer in Kirk Cousins, always have been. I'm a

940
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 2: believer in the offensive skill position players that they've had

941
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 2: in Atlanta haven't been able to unlock because they've had

942
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: such poor quarterback play. I have them at eleven wins

943
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 2: this season.

944
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,959
Speaker 1: Wow, even better than I had, So I got ten

945
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: for Atlanta.

946
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 3: Rich goes with eleven. Where are you bo?

947
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 6: Kirk Cousins is thirty six years old coming off of

948
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 6: torn Achilles.

949
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was, I was, I was sailing.

950
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: I was a loft on the hopes and dreams of

951
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 2: Dirty Birds fans everywhere.

952
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 3: Then you bring up the Aaron Rodgers will be forty

953
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: one coming off of chill.

954
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 6: That is also a little nerve wracking, I think. Yeah,

955
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 6: I auto drafted Bijon Robinson second overall in a fantasy

956
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 6: draft last night because I did not get the notification

957
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 6: that it had started. So I hope he's good this year.

958
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 6: But it's it's a little conte. Yeah, it's it's the

959
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 6: Atlanta Falcons. Like I just I can never believe in

960
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 6: the Atlanta Falcons.

961
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: I just can't about What about Matt ryany what about

962
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan VP.

963
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 6: Remember to forget about second years ago, I forget about

964
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 6: the second half. Yeah, I think there's a real chance

965
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 6: that that city is clamoring for Michael Pennix Junior at

966
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 6: some point during the year if if kirk Cousins isn't

967
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 6: playing up to his contract. But it's also the NFC

968
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 6: South at nine, I'm gonna I'm gonna say ten wins.

969
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 6: I think they can win double digit yeahs.

970
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: All right, So that's that's three with double digit wins

971
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Falcons. Chris Man.

972
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 5: I really hate being I really want to buck the

973
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 5: trend on a lot of you guys.

974
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 3: I just can't.

975
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I I you know, you bring up thirty

976
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 5: six and an Achilles chair with Kirk Cousins.

977
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: But that's why they got Penix.

978
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm realizing in a very disgusting way, it's like, Okay,

979
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 5: maybe Pennix was actually a smart move for them.

980
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: After all.

981
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 5: I did not think I would ever get talked into that.

982
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 5: But I also think between those two quarterbacks, one of

983
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 5: them has got to unlock, probably Kyle Pitts and Drake London.

984
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 5: You know, they've had this quiet, very high powered offense

985
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 5: that is just because of who they have started. A

986
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 5: quarterback has refused to become unlocked. And they picked up

987
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 5: some they picked up some decent defensive talent along the way.

988
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 5: And that's kind of Raheem Morris's you know, whole specialty.

989
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 5: So I it's Atlanta. I mean, you bring up twenty

990
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 5: eight to three. Let's also talk about you know what

991
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 5: happened in the nineties when they went to the Super Bowl, Steve,

992
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 5: when Eugene Robinson gets popped.

993
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: In Miami Super Bowl.

994
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 3: So I think I think I passed him along the

995
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 3: way where he was going.

996
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: So you were in the same area as Eugene Robinson

997
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: very much, did you back in the day in January

998
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: of ninety nine.

999
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was out, he was interesting. He was out

1000
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 6: buying peaches, Chris Robinson. Chris reminds me that I also

1001
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 6: drafted Kyle Pitts. So you got actually.

1002
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 3: Correct seven one going with this another tie?

1003
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: All right?

1004
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: Just because you can't go, I think they're going to

1005
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 3: make the playoffs.

1006
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: I just cannot.

1007
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 3: I can't talk myselves into double digits yet. Then the Falcons,

1008
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: I wins a nine, seven and one. He's going with

1009
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 3: all right, minds, where are you with Atlanta?

1010
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 7: I am a fan of Kirk Cousins as well. I

1011
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 7: don't care that he's thirty six. I don't care that

1012
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 7: he just had a major injury. He was delivering last season.

1013
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 7: Finally had a great Monday or I don't know if

1014
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 7: it was Monday night, but like a primetime game, which

1015
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 7: was his kryptonite surpassed that. I think that the Falcons

1016
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 7: have done a lot of very good moves to set

1017
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 7: themselves up for success, and just looking at their schedule,

1018
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 7: I have nine for sure wins and three games that

1019
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 7: I'm like they could win. So I have nine for

1020
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 7: sure and three with question marks. I'm gonna say, let's

1021
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 7: say eleven, just eleven.

1022
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, here we go.

1023
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of belief in the Atlanta Falcons to

1024
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: start things off in the NFC South.

1025
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 6: Luda would be proud before before we move forward, the

1026
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 6: Los Angeles Rams have hired Scott Frost in a advisor

1027
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 6: football advisory role.

1028
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: So if anybody wants to off that win total.

1029
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 4: I know that.

1030
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm feeling everything. I'm feeling better and better about my

1031
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: pick for the Rams right now.

1032
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

1033
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 1: Well, that's I had a low number for the Rams.

1034
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: You guys, Steve said seven wins. I had seven and

1035
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: ten for the Rams.

1036
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 2: I said wins. I'm looking like a genius too late. No,

1037
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, can I add three more wins? No?

1038
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 3: You can't. All right, Scott Frost a sure winner?

1039
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to the team that was

1040
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: by far the worst team in the NFL a year ago.

1041
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: That would be the Carolina Panthers. Can you imagine in

1042
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: seventeen games they only scored two hundred and thirty six points.

1043
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god, in seventeen games games two hundred and

1044
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: thirty six points. I mean, it just was unreal. How

1045
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: in at that offense was. Dad Canalis comes in, He's

1046
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: an offensive guy. And by the way, he was a

1047
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: guy that helped revive the career of Geno Smith in Seattle.

1048
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 3: He did.

1049
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: He revived the career of Baker Mayfield and Tampa. He

1050
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: brought him back to life, two guys that were considered done.

1051
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: Oh trust me, this is the reason why they brought

1052
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: him to Carolina.

1053
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: So can he revive a young quarterback like Bryce Yacht. Look,

1054
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make any kind of playoff predictions for

1055
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers, but a lot goes into going two and fifteen.

1056
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody should be that bad in the NFL.

1057
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: It's almost the opposite of like if you go fifteen

1058
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: to two, like you're getting every single break going your way.

1059
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: I think they'll improve.

1060
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: I think they Maybe maybe I'm stretching a little bit,

1061
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna get him all the way up to

1062
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 1: six wins. So I'm gonna go Panthers at six and eleven.

1063
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: It's so funny. I do have a little method to

1064
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: my men, and I landed at six wins. As you

1065
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 2: were saying it, I was looking at their schedule, I

1066
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 2: was looking at their depth chart. I was relitigating what

1067
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: I saw last year out of Bryce Young, thinking about

1068
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 2: Dave Canalis and what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked like.

1069
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: And it wasn't like late in the season when it

1070
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: all jelled. Baker Mayfield out the gate looked like a

1071
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 2: completely different guy. Sometimes you can present a really complex

1072
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 2: offense to the defense, but you can simplify things for

1073
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 2: your guys. You can have one word codes, you can

1074
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 2: have things that just really sort of make it easy

1075
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: to just get out there and play football and don't think.

1076
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: And I think Dave Canalis has a system like that,

1077
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 2: so I like him as a coach. I'm not sure

1078
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 2: if I'm sold on Bryce Young. There will be improvement,

1079
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: but it'll only be to six wins. That's where I

1080
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: sit with the Panthers.

1081
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: All right, So we both have six wins for the Panthers.

1082
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: Where do you sit here?

1083
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 2: Bo.

1084
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 6: It can't be any worse, right, Oh, I can't. They're

1085
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 6: gonna have a last play schedule. Yeah, so it might

1086
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 6: get better. But then you look at their schedule and

1087
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 6: kind of feels like they did somebody wrong at the

1088
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 6: NFL because they still have to play like the Chiefs,

1089
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 6: the Eagles, the Cowboys, the Bengals. This is like a

1090
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 6: four win football team. But I do think you'll see

1091
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 6: improvement from Bryce Young, okay, because I think you'll see

1092
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 6: an offense that's actually molded around him. But there's just

1093
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 6: not a lot you can do when you were that

1094
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 6: bad to get competent in one year.

1095
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: All right, So you have aamy wins, four wins, all right,

1096
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: Well they double their total, then, Chris, what do you say?

1097
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 3: So let me just get the wins?

1098
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 4: Right?

1099
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 5: You have what again, Steve? We have the two of

1100
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 5: us have six, he has four, he has four. Okay,

1101
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 5: I agree. They've tried to do some upgrades to help

1102
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 5: out Bryce Young. Unfortunately, those upgrades come in the form

1103
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,479
Speaker 5: of Deontay Johnson and Xavier Lagette, who was a very

1104
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 5: surprising selection for them at wide receiver at thirty two.

1105
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 5: They also seem to be coming this land of misfit

1106
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 5: toys of thrown off old pieces of defenses like a

1107
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 5: Shawn Robinson. And this might be the final port of

1108
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 5: call for Jadavian Clowney, who used to be We used

1109
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 5: to all think he was going to be something fantastic.

1110
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 4: Uh J C. Horn.

1111
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 5: I know they picked up his fifth year option, but

1112
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 5: he's already kind of looking pretty rough. I just I

1113
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 5: want to believe they can get better. On the other hand,

1114
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 5: not football teams just can't stay single digit. This single

1115
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 5: digit bad for this long. And yet you look at

1116
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 5: the Panthers.

1117
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: And time out that's come from a Detroit Lions man.

1118
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 2: They absolutely that long. They don't have Matt Millin all right,

1119
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 2: they didn't like let's let's take it easy over here.

1120
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: They do have David Tepper Ye.

1121
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: Yes, in the middle of their single digit run, they

1122
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: had a no digit season. How about that.

1123
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 5: I mean Panthers could be on that road at some point.

1124
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 5: I don't think it'll be this year. I think they

1125
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 5: will upgrade to about like four wins.

1126
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: All right, So the twin on four we have six, moncey,

1127
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 3: you're the tiebreak. Where do you go?

1128
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 8: Oh?

1129
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 7: I think they're gonna get a little bit better and

1130
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 7: I think they're gonna lose games and they're gonna just

1131
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 7: be a lot closer. They're gonna look like a better team.

1132
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 7: But winning is not easy, right, I have like a

1133
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 7: bunch of Oh they could win maybe, and you know,

1134
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 7: there's gonna be some surprises, as there are every single year.

1135
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 8: I say that they win five games.

1136
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 3: Okay, five games splits the difference.

1137
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: All right, all right, Well we're halfway home right now

1138
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: on the NFC South. Coming up, we're gonna have the

1139
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: Saints and the Buccaneers. Who ultimately is gonna win this division?

1140
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: And could there be a surprise wild card out of

1141
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: the NFC South. We continue to break it down. This

1142
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: is Fox Football Sunday. Steve Harbin, Rich Armberger, this is

1143
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: Fox Football Sunday, Bo Chris and Moncey an equal part

1144
00:53:55,840 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: of this show today. As we are running down the

1145
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: NFC South right now, we've got to wrap this thrown

1146
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: up once again, we're live from the tire rack dot

1147
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: Com studios. We mentioned, of course that the NFC South

1148
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: was by far the worst division in the NFL. Last year,

1149
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: really the last couple of years, this has been a

1150
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: week division. The question is is it going to be

1151
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: any better in twenty twenty four. We've got an upgrade

1152
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: so far. I think we all had upgrades on the Falcons.

1153
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: We had upgrades on Carolina. So let's turn now to

1154
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. This team, to me was one

1155
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: of the biggest enigmas in the league last year. I mean,

1156
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: they had a nine and eight season, right, and they

1157
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: had a big win to finish it off. The season

1158
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to get him into the postseason, but

1159
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: they finished well. I have friends of mine that, believe

1160
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: it or not, are actually Saints fans, and they tell

1161
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: me the same thing. We can't get rid of Derek

1162
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 1: Carr fast enough.

1163
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 5: We were also the consensus of the I would say

1164
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 5: about two Saints fans that wandered the hall here at

1165
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio as well.

1166
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't get rid of Derek Carr fast enough.

1167
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: When is Spencer Rattler going to be the quarterback of

1168
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. This is what I'm hearing, right.

1169
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: I have never been a Dennis Allen fan. I don't

1170
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: know if it was his failed run with the Raiders

1171
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, but to me, Dennis Allen

1172
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: is such a non entity as a head coach. He's

1173
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: such an anonymous guy for a guy that's been a

1174
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: coach for a couple times in the NFL, I don't

1175
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: get it. I look at this team offensively, they were

1176
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: actually ninth in the league in scoring, and they were

1177
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: eighth in the league in points allowed. Yeah yeah, and

1178
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: yet they were nine and eight. I don't buy it

1179
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 1: with the Saints this year. I just think that this

1180
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: is a team that's going to be looking for a

1181
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: new head coach after this season. I'm dropping the Saints

1182
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: down to seven and ten in twenty Okay.

1183
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 2: So you and I once again with our win total

1184
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 2: predictions are pretty close, almost in lockstep. I give them

1185
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 2: eight wins. Here's the thing the Saints are. They're like

1186
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 2: friend zoned in the NFL. You know, they're the guy

1187
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 2: that the girl describes as nice, Like that's it. That's like,

1188
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 2: you know, and you don't want to be the guy

1189
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: that a girl describes as yeah, he's nice.

1190
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 3: Like that's not good. That's not good. You don't want

1191
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 3: to be the nice guy. You want to be like

1192
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: the oh, he's interesting.

1193
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,760
Speaker 2: You want to be the interesting guy, like the Atlanta

1194
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 2: Falcons all of a sudden, I mean, don't get me wrong.

1195
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 2: He's got a dad bud, but it's Kirk Cousins. And

1196
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: with all these young skilled position players, I mean, the

1197
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 2: Falcons all of a sudden like America's Darling. The Saints

1198
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 2: are nice and so with that, I think they are

1199
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: going to be hunting for a quarterback next year. Maybe

1200
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: they have one on their roster that ends up carrying

1201
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 2: the man for them. With Rattler, we'll see if he

1202
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 2: pans out, if Derek Carr gets hurt. Dennis Allen, like

1203
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 2: you said, is kind of anonymous as a head coach.

1204
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 2: Nothing about the Saints impresses me.

1205
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 3: So eight wins, all right, I have seven rich as eight.

1206
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: Where are you here?

1207
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 3: Well?

1208
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 6: I had the pleasure or misfortune depending on how you

1209
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 6: want to look at it, of watching the Saints play

1210
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 6: in person last year when they came out here to

1211
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 6: play the Rams, that was just putrid. They're just not

1212
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 6: a good football team. I don't think Dennis Allen survives

1213
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 6: the first five weeks of the season because I don't

1214
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 6: think his players like him at all. We all remember

1215
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 6: that weird thing last year when they scored at the

1216
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 6: end of the game and players kind of threw him

1217
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 6: under the bus and he threw his players under the bus.

1218
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:42,439
Speaker 3: I just don't think anybody likes Dennis Allen.

1219
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 2: And by the way, to support your point, they start

1220
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 2: the season with the Panthers, but then they go to Dallas,

1221
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 2: then they host the Eagles, they go to Atlanta, and

1222
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: then they go to Arrowhead.

1223
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they could be one and four very easily

1224
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: after that stress.

1225
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 6: That's not very pleasant. So yeah, and Derek Carr is

1226
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 6: not the answer. I think we all know that by now.

1227
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 6: I think the Saints are just due and they've been

1228
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 6: kicking this can down the road since they won the

1229
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. I think they're they're due to finally bought

1230
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 6: him out. I think they're gonna win three games as well.

1231
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: Wow, three and four deep for the Saints.

1232
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 3: I wouldn't dismiss that idea.

1233
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: That seems extreme, but yeah, they could have that again,

1234
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: Dennis out.

1235
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 3: They're just anonymous team right now.

1236
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: All right?

1237
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 3: So Chris, where are you with the Saints.

1238
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 5: I feel like the bottom has to fall out for

1239
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 5: them to get better. I feel like they've got to

1240
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 5: take some poison to like before they can really turn

1241
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 5: around and become something else. Because, as you say, Derek

1242
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 5: Carr's not the answer. But you know what the problem

1243
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 5: is too, is that everyone's also fallen in love this

1244
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 5: preseason with Spencer.

1245
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: Ratler as well.

1246
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 5: This guy, Like, yeah, I don't know Spencer Ratler is

1247
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 5: a starting quarterback right now in the NFL, but I

1248
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 5: certainly root for him. I certainly think he's shown some

1249
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 5: of the talent. But to Saints fans, it is absolutely

1250
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 5: that your best friend in town is the quarterback that's

1251
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 5: not starting, and that's gonna hang over this team problem

1252
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 5: the entire year. At the same time, too, like you've

1253
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 5: got pieces that have been here forever in New Orleans

1254
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 5: and you just wonder when the end of that that

1255
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 5: road finally is how many more years are you going

1256
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 5: to have Tyron Matthew, Alvin Kamara Like this, this kind

1257
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 5: of feels like the end of an era, and it's

1258
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 5: gonna be an ignominious end, just because like it's it's

1259
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 5: a purge that every team I feel like has to

1260
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 5: go through to get to the next era. Like I

1261
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 5: definitely saw it with the Detroit Lions after Patricia you

1262
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 5: kind of had to clear the deck. You went through

1263
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 5: some bad times, but hopefully you just come out the

1264
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 5: other side. I don't think Dennis Allen is their coach

1265
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 5: for the future at all either. I'm gonna put them

1266
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 5: down for five wins, but again, I think it will

1267
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 5: be a constructive lesson for the Saints, but that this

1268
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 5: is not a good team this year. The vibes are

1269
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 5: bad in New Orleans. Everyone's starting to dust off the

1270
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 5: brown paper bags like they like their forefathers used to wear.

1271
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 3: It's it's not gonna be great, Bob.

1272
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the control room is got him combined

1273
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: for eight wins.

1274
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 3: So where are you with the Saints heremanci?

1275
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 8: You know the Saints?

1276
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 7: Just to me, I'm like, what exactly am I looking

1277
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 7: forward to?

1278
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 8: What is the upsell here with the Saints?

1279
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 7: And I have them losing their first five games. I

1280
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 7: have the Panthers beating the Saints game one in my,

1281
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 7: oh my, So I have the Saints.

1282
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 8: Five to start the season.

1283
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 3: That's a case Dennis l may be gone quicker than

1284
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 3: we think. And I leave them in Kansas City.

1285
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 7: I have them winning six and I don't even like it,

1286
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 7: all right, I don't even like it.

1287
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 3: All right.

1288
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 8: I'm kind of with bow here. I feel like Bo

1289
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 8: is onto something.

1290
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's wrap up this division right now. Guys,

1291
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 1: we got the Tampa Bay buccant knives.

1292
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 3: All right.

1293
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: So a year ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were a

1294
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: big question mark. Tom Brady was gone and they bring

1295
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: in Baker Mayfield, and no one could have probably envisioned

1296
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the kind of season that Baker Mayfield had unless you

1297
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: actually know Baker Mayfield's career, right, every time that he

1298
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: is literally on the extinction list. This was true in

1299
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: his college career and the same thing in his NFL career.

1300
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: Just when you say it is over, I remember what

1301
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: he's like, the third string quarterback for the Rams. Briefly,

1302
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: he suddenly revives himself. This is how it operates with

1303
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. That being said, every time we then suddenly

1304
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: jump on the Baker Mayfield bandwagon, he suddenly goes backwards

1305
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and I can see this happening. Todd Bowles again, to me,

1306
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: is a guy as a coach. His head coaching record

1307
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: is literally the picture of mediocrity.

1308
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 3: They were eight and nine, they went to nine to eight.

1309
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 3: Last year.

1310
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: They got into the playoffs. You know, one of the

1311
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: few teams actually do that over the last four years.

1312
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: But it's not happening this year. I'm gonna put the

1313
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Buccaneers down a notch. I'll have them at eight and nine.

1314
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't even have to give my analysis because literally

1315
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: copy and paste. Maybe I'll put it through chat GPT

1316
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: so we don't have the exact same answers, and then

1317
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 2: I'll submit it to my professor.

1318
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 3: But I don't like Todd Bowles.

1319
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: I think Baker Mayfield is going to see regression against

1320
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 2: a better schedule because they were a playoff team last

1321
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 2: year who won. I think that this team is overrated.

1322
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: I think that they're going to rest a little bit

1323
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 2: on their laurels. They're gonna think they're better than they are,

1324
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 2: and they're gonna get snuck up on several times throughout

1325
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 2: this season. There's treachery all over this schedule. So yeah,

1326
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 2: I have them at exactly the same number eight wins

1327
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 2: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1328
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Eight to nine. Here, let's go to the control room, bo,

1329
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: where are you with the Bucks?

1330
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 6: As the charter member of the Baker Mayfield Fan Club

1331
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 6: here at Foxworths Radio. This is just every Oklahoma quarterback

1332
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 6: by the way, Yeah, no, the Bucks are winning twelve

1333
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 6: games in this division.

1334
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Wow, oh okay, I love it.

1335
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 3: Hold on, where do I have that.

1336
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: I love that.

1337
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 3: Let me fine this year here it.

1338
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Is all right, well I like it, mother of Pearl.

1339
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: All right, so you you obviously you liked him to

1340
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: win this division with twelve wins.

1341
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Baker Mayfield. I think we could say Baker Mayfield

1342
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. Who is going to be his running mate?

1343
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 2: Because both office.

1344
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 3: Now you don't even know he I'll just ride him

1345
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 3: in this year. What are you talking about?

1346
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1347
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you Candy five, Well, my guess

1348
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: if the Bucks win twelve games, he's in the MVP conversation.

1349
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 6: Also, I need to see a birth certificate. There's a

1350
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 6: couple of steps. Well, he's in the MVP conversation for

1351
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 6: me every year, Steve, So all right.

1352
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: All right, So over there it is Bogoes with twelve.

1353
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 1: That's a big number. Chris, We're all over the map

1354
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: here after that one.

1355
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have the vapors. I'm gonna need a break.

1356
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 5: I need to cool off for a second. I will

1357
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 5: say this is a fairly besides a couple of really

1358
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 5: like rough oh Man right before the uh right before

1359
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 5: their bye week in week eleven, this is a very

1360
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 5: favorable schedule. I think for Tampa I think they're toughest

1361
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 5: is they've got again, they've got that Kansas City forty

1362
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 5: nine ers back to back before the bye, and then

1363
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 5: they've got to go on the road to play Dallas.

1364
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 5: Other than that, I don't really think there's terribly too much.

1365
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 5: They got to play Detroit early in the season. But like,

1366
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 5: there's not a lot on here that screams like, oh no,

1367
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 5: watch out, sorry bos.

1368
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 3: It looked like he was about to say something.

1369
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, like after that Chiefs Niners back to back,

1370
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 6: they play the Giants, the Panthers, the Raiders, the Chargers,

1371
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 6: and then they go to Dallas by the Cowboys. Yeah,

1372
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 6: they played the Panthers in the Saints. That's not Hart's

1373
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 6: a lot.

1374
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 5: They can mop up here. And let's let's give some

1375
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 5: credits to their defense here, because Kalijah Canci is kind

1376
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 5: of coming into his own. I vita Bay if he

1377
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 5: can stay healthy, Like, this is a good Tampa Bay defense.

1378
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: On top of everything, what's that they have Antoine Winfield

1379
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: or Antoine Winfield Junior? Like this is this is a

1380
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: fine defense. I think you like you need to but numbers,

1381
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: do we are thirteen? Do we are thirteen because I

1382
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: like going to the rosters and give credit because we

1383
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: focus too much in the quarterback.

1384
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield has Mike Evans. I cannot forget that he

1385
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 5: has Mike Evans, and Mike Evans remains criminally underrated as

1386
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 5: a top wide receiver in this league. I'm gonna put

1387
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 5: them down to ten wins, all right? So you got

1388
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 5: Tampa ten. So the control room on a much different

1389
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 5: page than us. Where do you stand here, Monci?

1390
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 8: I went the control room. I have them winning like

1391
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 8: eight and then.

1392
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 7: Two questionable ones that could get them to ten. So

1393
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 7: I'm gonna split the difference. I'm gonna give you nine,

1394
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 7: all right?

1395
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 8: Nine wins?

1396
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: All right? So let's now go through our predictions on

1397
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 1: who makes the playoffs again, like I did with the

1398
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: NFC West, I only have one team out of this

1399
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: division moving on to the postseason, and that will be

1400
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: the division champion Atlanta Falcons.

1401
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 2: Same NFC South winners, the Falcons with eleven wins and

1402
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 2: a lot of ho hum mediocrey with the Panther, Saints

1403
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 2: and Bucks.

1404
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: All right, where do you have bow What do you

1405
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: got a winner? Do you have a wildcard?

1406
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 6: You have the Buccaneers winning the division obviously, and that's it.

1407
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 3: And that's it. So the Bucks the sole team out

1408
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 3: of here, Chris.

1409
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 5: I have the Buccaneers winning the division and I have

1410
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,439
Speaker 5: it nine to seven and one. The Atlanta Falcons into

1411
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 5: the playoffs. They get that, it's the third wildcard. They're

1412
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 5: the number seventh seed in the That means.

1413
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 3: One of these other divisions is going to be yes, Craft, Yes,

Speaker 3: you have a wildcard?

1416
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1417
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 7: No, I have the Falcons winning the South and no wildcard,

1418
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 7: no wildcard.

1419
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up on the other side, Well, this

1420
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: is one we're gonna have to brace ourselves, especially for Chris,

1421
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: and that would be the NFC North. But first, let's

1422
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: find out what is trending right now, Moncey, it's been

1430
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 7: In baseball, the Yankees have activated first baseman Anthony Rizzo

1431
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 7: after eleven weeks on the IL due to a right

Speaker 7: The Cubs, who are four games out of the final

1437
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,960

Speaker 8: the Reds are tied still at three apiece top of

1441
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 8: the eighth inning.

1442
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 7: The Red Sox Tigers, who are out of the Red

1443
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 7: Sox for three and a half games out of the

1444
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 7: final waldcard spot in the AL so but they're scoreless

Speaker 7: and the White Sox scoreless top of the third as well.

1449
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 7: With the Blue Jays up on the Twins one.

1450
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 8: Zero top of the second inning, Let's check in on

01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 8: the us so but and it's the round of sixteen.

1453
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 7: Casper Rude, the eighth seed in this one. Fritz lost

1454
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 7: the first set he is up on the second set.

1455
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 8: Five games to four. Again, this is the round of sixteen.

1456
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 7: Later on and a little bit on the women's side,

1457
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,400

1458
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:18,719

1462
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 7: only five shots back of Scotty cheff Fleur. He is

1463
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 7: one under through six holes for the day.

1464
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Back to you, guys, all right, mon see, very very good.

1465
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: All right, So we are halfway home now in our

1466
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: rundown of the NFC. By the way, by show's end,

1467
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,839
Speaker 1: we're going to have the winners of the two conference

1468
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: championship games and yes, our Super Bowl predictions by the

1469
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: end of today's show. We'll have the complete roster by

1470
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 1: the end of today, all right, So let's move now

1471
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: to the NFC North guys, and this is a really

1472
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: a division that's been flipping all over the place with

1473
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: the emergence of the Lions. Obviously, the Packers revived last

1474
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: year with Jordan Love having a phenomenal first season as

1475
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: a full time starter. The Vikings coming off the year

1476
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: where they were eleven to zero one score games and

1477
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: it caught up with them a year ago, they have

1478
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: a new quarterback situation, and then you have the Chicago Bears,

1479
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: and alphabetically we will start with those Chicago Bears. Here's

1480
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: one thing I want to keep in mind with the

1481
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: Bears last year. I mean, you think, well, first pick

1482
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: in the draft, but that was Carolina's pick. Remember this

1483
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: is a team that started last year zero to four

1484
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: and they finished seven to ten. So that means they

1485
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: were seven and six over their last thirteen games. And

1486
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,679
Speaker 1: at the very least, that tells me that iber Flus

1487
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: was able.

1488
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,799
Speaker 3: To hold on to this team. He didn't lose this team.

1489
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean, when you start zhing four coming off a

1490
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: bad year, the wheels could come off. Oh yeah, and

1491
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: they didn't, which is why he's stilled the coach of

1492
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: the Bears. And now he's been handed a quarterback Caleb

1493
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Williams that I'm not going to predict any kind of

1494
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud rookie season because to me, that's a

1495
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: once in a lifetime But the idea of upgrading and

1496
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: quarterback is a one hundred percent yes for the Chicago Bears.

1497
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: I believe that Caleb Williams is special. And if you

1498
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: look at his numbers a year ago, when he was

1499
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: basically told each game, you need to put up fifty

1500
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: for us to have a chance to win. As bad

1501
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: as USC's defense was, his numbers were more than respectable.

1502
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: So not only do I have the Bears flipping that

1503
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: seven and ten to ten and seven, I have the

1504
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears in the playoffs. Matt Eberflus rated as the

1505
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: favorite to be NFL Coach of the Year, and it

1506
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: could very well happen. I have the Bears ten and

1507
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,600
Speaker 1: seven and making the playoffs.

1508
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 2: The bust rate for first round draft picks is insanely high. Yep,

1509
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 2: only forty percent of these guys become franchise quarterbacks. Okay,

1510
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 2: and it's actually less than that. It's somewhere hovering around

1511
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 2: thirty seven to thirty eight percent. The Bears may have

1512
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 2: found their draft pick, their franchise quarterback, the quarterback of

1513
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 2: the future to usher in many years, maybe decades, of

1514
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 2: success in the NFC North, but odds tell you a

1515
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 2: different story. As good as players are at the collegiate level.

1516
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 2: It is really hard to make this transition. I'm not

1517
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,320
Speaker 2: sold that he's the guy until I see that he's

1518
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 2: the guy. And so with that, and considering that the

1519
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 2: Bears outside of the quarterback position are pretty good roster.

1520
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 2: That's a pretty decent defense, that's a really talented offense.

1521
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 2: But it's all going to hinge on Kleb Williams. And

1522
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: if you play the numbers, if you look at probabilities,

1523
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 2: chances are he's not the guy. So I'm going with

1524
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 2: seven wins. Bears are probably looking to replace a head coach,

1525
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 2: and the start of Caleb Williams's career is probably gonna

1526
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 2: look a lot like a quarterback. We were just talking

1527
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 2: about Baker Mayfield where he has a head coach for

1528
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 2: a short time than another head coach, and maybe that

1529
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 2: doesn't work out. It's gonna be a little herky jerky

1530
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 2: to start with seven wins for the Bears.

1531
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: All right, So I have ten wins and the playoffs,

1532
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: which has seven wins?

1533
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 3: No playoffs? Bo where are you?

1534
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 6: I just first with like to say that I've never

1535
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 6: heard Chris Profett as quiet as he is right now.

1536
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 6: So he is gathering his thoughts of Chicago. Oh no, no,

1537
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 6: I have I have thoughts about this team, don't I've

1538
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 6: thoughts about the city. I'm I'm kind of with Rich.

1539
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 6: I think the transition to the NFL is going to

1540
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 6: be much tougher for Caleb Williams than people imagine. But

1541
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 6: I think you see in the Flashes that he is

1542
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 6: the guy that went first overall for a reason. The

1543
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 6: thing with the Bears is their schedule, much like the

1544
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 6: rest of the NFC North, all their divisional games are backloaded,

1545
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 6: so they have a big chance to stack some wins

1546
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 6: early and then play those tough games. But you're lucky

1547
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 6: if you if you split divisional games. So I'm with Rich.

1548
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 6: I think they're going to go seven and ten. I'll

1549
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 6: they'll go eight and nine.

1550
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 3: All right, So he's giving a little tick up eight

1551
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 3: and nine.

1552
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 6: And the one thing I'll say is like, I don't

1553
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 6: think Matt Eberflus has come off particularly well in Hard Knocks.

1554
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 3: Have you watched it at all? Yeah?

1555
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 6: I agree, Yeah, he kind of just does not seem

1556
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 6: like a head coach in the NFL. So eight and

1557
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 6: nine and the Bears could be looking to replace that

1558
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 6: head coach.

1559
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 3: All right, Chris where are you with the Bears.

1560
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 5: When I hear Chicago media starts to really get their

1561
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 5: hopes up, I start to start to.

1562
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 3: Turn the knob down.

1563
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 5: And this has been an incredible season and off season

1564
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 5: of hype for the Chicago Bears, just like they had

1565
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 5: last year where they were saying that they were going

1566
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 5: to be twelve wins with Justin Fields. You turn the

1567
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 5: knob down on Chicago people. Why because much like the Raiders,

1568
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 5: they sit around and gloat about rusted, tarnished trophies from

1569
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,759
Speaker 5: the nineteen flip eighties. I do not care about the Bears.

1570
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 5: I think that this is all just a lot of

1571
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 5: gas up everyone. I know they finished the end of

1572
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 5: the year very well, and I do love Caleb Williams

1573
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 5: as a USC quarterback and everything. But until you actually

1574
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 5: produce it, I don't want to hear from Chicago people

1575
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 5: because you all line up and drink the electricool aid

1576
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 5: every flipping year like it's Lake Michigan is made from it.

1577
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 5: I'll give me eight wins.

1578
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Eight wins for the Chicago Bears. All right, Moncey, where

1579
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: are you?

1580
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 8: I'm kind of with the fellows over here.

1581
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 7: I have them between eight and nine wins a couple

1582
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 7: of question marks they just played. They play the Packers

1583
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 7: a lot in their division and you're not gonna win

1584
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 7: all of them. So but I believe a little bit

1585
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:49,639
Speaker 7: of the hype.

1586
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 3: I do believe a little bit.

1587
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 8: I do.

1588
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,799
Speaker 3: I feel like they just drafted justin fields.

1589
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say they go nine and eight eight.

1590
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least the winning record.

1591
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 6: Which I think, to be clear, is very fair for

1592
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bears given where they have been and hope to.

1593
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: Go again seven and six over the last thirteen games.

1594
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,480
Speaker 1: By the way, congrats to Kevin Am from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota,

1607

Speaker 1: NFC South and less backup folks, because it's going to

1608

Speaker 1: be Chris's.

Speaker 3: North. Oh North, I say South. I'm sorry, I was

1610
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: looking at the South.

1611
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,640
Speaker 1: NFC North. I know, I know Chris would jump in

1612
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:57,600
Speaker 1: because you know which team is next. Oh yeah, that

1613
01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: would be the Detroit Lions. Are Are they for real?

1614
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 1: Are they for real? Find out? This is Fox Football Sunday,

1615
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: Steve Harbin, Rich Arnberger, Fox Football Sunday. We're live from

1616
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 1: the tire rack dot Com studios. I'm not gonna waste

1617
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: a lot of time on the Lions because we know

1618
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 1: someone's got plenty to say about them. Are the Lions

1619
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: for real? I'll put it this way, Dan Campbell's for real.

1620
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Twelve wins a year ago, I think they hold steady.

1621
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Another twelve wins season for the Detroit Lions.

1622
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Rich Wow, wow, Yeah, not a lot of misses when

1623
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 2: you look at their schedule, it's interesting. I'll be a

1624
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 2: little bit longer than you were here with the Lions,

1625
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 2: and then I really want to get out of the

1626
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 2: way for Chris Purfett to take over. But there are

1627
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 2: some tricky games, a rematch against a playoff team that

1628
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 2: gave them fits in the Buccaneers. That was a closer

1629
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 2: game than I'm sure Dan Campbell was comfortable with. They

1630
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: start the season against the Rams. They're hosting both those

1631
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,920
Speaker 2: teams early in the year, you know. So, I mean,

1632
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 2: you look at some of these games and you say, Okay,

1633
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: some of these were near misses last year, and the

1634
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Lions struggled at times, but they got the W's. Look,

1635
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 2: if we say it's hard to win you know, twice

1636
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 2: in your division and they split there and you play

1637
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 2: seventeen games, I think I agree with you. You gotta

1638
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 2: find two more losses on that schedule, I'm sure at least.

1639
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 2: So I'll give them. I'll give the Lions a twelve

1640
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 2: win season. That is one of the most dominant rosters

1641
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL. They have the best offensive wine in

1642
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 2: the NFL and a defense to back up well actually,

1643
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 2: and corrections to a defense a year ago and that

1644
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 2: needed some especially in the secondary this offseason. So I'm

1645
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 2: a big Lions honk. I got them at twelve.

1646
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 3: Wins, all right. We have two twelve wins here, bo.

1647
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna win fourteen games. Wow, Wow.

1648
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 6: I think the Lions are just The Lions might be

1649
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 6: the best team in football when all is said and done.

1650
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,640
Speaker 6: They were a bad half away from going to the

1651
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 6: Super Bowl last year, and they fixed a lot of

1652
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 6: their issues and addressing their secondary. Dan Campbell's legit. All

1653
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 6: that kneecap stuff is in the past, and anyone that

1654
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 6: doesn't recognize that Dan Campbell's one of the top five

1655
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 6: head coaches in football needs to get their eyes checked.

1656
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 6: The issue with the Lions, and I think buying into

1657
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 6: them is if you still have doubts about Jared Goff,

1658
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 6: but like, who cares if he's assistem quarterback? If they

1659
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 6: win games, I think they're gonna win a ton of

1660
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 6: games this year.

1661
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 3: All right, fourteen that's a big number, all right?

1662
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 5: Chris so Bo reprimanded me in the studio after I

1663
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 5: took the battle axe to the City of Chicago and

1664
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 5: then gave them five like about five hundreds. So I've

1665
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 5: got to kind of go off the top rope, don't I.

1666
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 5: This is a team that, yeahs as Rich said, they've

1667
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 5: completely overhauled their secondary. As someone who covers the team

1668
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 5: the best, the most we were talking about in preseason

1669
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 5: was questions about quarterback three and whether or not their kicker,

1670
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 5: who can hit hit from like sixty five sometimes misses

1671
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 5: thirty and if that's a bad thing. But guess what,

1672
01:18:57,439 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 5: Dan Campbell just goes front and fourth down.

1673
01:18:59,200 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 3: Anyway.

1674
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 5: He's not exactly like a field goal guy here to

1675
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 5: start with. So there's no drama here. This is a

1676
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 5: team that really entered a new era. I wish I

1677
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 5: could keep gushing on with them, but I keep looking

1678
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 5: at the clock ticking down. I know MONSI has to

1679
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 5: talk to the most dominant offensive line of fixing a

1680
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 5: massive problem with their defense, and with Bo chiding me

1681
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 5: about tempering my expectations to reality, I'm gonna throw that

1682
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 5: all out the window.

1683
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 3: I feel the master. I feel it. Sixteen in one wow.

1684
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you know what, Bo raised the bar to fourteen.

1685
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: You had to go high. Some guy who's claiming a

1686
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: Bears hat around here is putting them at fourteen.

1687
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 3: I need to suddenly leap over him. Yeah that's a

1688
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 3: good point.

1689
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 8: Well, I'll be quick here.

1690
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 7: I think the Lions are the real deal, but I

1691
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,679
Speaker 7: also think teams around them have also gotten better.

1692
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 8: That's the problem.

1693
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 7: I have them winning eleven with two questionable ones that

1694
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 7: could take them up to thirteen, So.

1695
01:19:58,640 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go twelve.

1696
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Well, all right, so three twelves of fourteen and yes,

1697
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: a sixteen and one all right. On the other side,

1698
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: the other half of the NFC North, we got the

1699
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: Packers and we have the Vikings coming up, and then

1700
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: we'll have one more division to get into in the

1701
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: NFC before we make our final picks on who's going

1702
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: to be all the playoff teams in the NFL, which

1703
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: teams will end up in the conference championship games in

1704
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, who will win it all? Keep it

1705
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: right here. This is Fox Football Sunday rolling along with

1714
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 1: been a part of Red Zone Radio, while you're in

1715
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:06,839
Speaker 1: for a treat because nobody in the radio world covers

1716
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: an NFL Sunday like we do here at Fox Sports Radio.

1717
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: That's right, and the five of us here is a

1718
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: very much a team effort here on this show with

1719
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 1: ever involved, a veteran group, been there, done that, all

1720
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: passionate about the NFL.

1721
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 3: So we'll have every base covered.

1722
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: Now. The only question I do have is this, which

1723
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: we were talking about this yesterday Montsey and I on

1724
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 1: Fox Football Saturday. I'm gonna ask you go ahead, so

1725
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: we know that Tom Brady will be elevated to the

1726
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: analyst on the number one team with Kevin Burkhart. By

1727
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: the way, Greg Olsen did a pretty good job.

1728
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 2: I thought Greg Olsen's analysis was peerless. I thought he

1729
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:55,759
Speaker 2: was the best doing it last year.

1730
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, because let's face it, Romo is falling off that

1731
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 1: Mantle and I think Olsen right now is as good

1732
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: as it gets. But they have a dilemma right now

1733
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:08,600
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady because of his possible ownership share.

1734
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 3: With the Raiders.

1735
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: If approved, he will literally be banned from talking to

1736
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: any coach, player, anyone associated with any other team to

1737
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: prep for broadcasting the number one game on Fox television. So,

1738
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: as a man that's been an analyst for a lot

1739
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: of years, and I know you do your homework and

1740
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: you do a lot of prep and everything else. How

1741
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: much would Tom Brady lose if he literally has to

1742
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: walk into the studio cold and just basically analyze what

1743
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: he's seeing as the game is going.

1744
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 3: You lose a tremendous amount.

1745
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 2: You lose the ability to storytell from the first person perspective,

1746
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 2: if you lose the ability to talk about the feeling

1747
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 2: inside the facility, the feeling on the practice field. So

1748
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 2: say one of the teams that he's broadcasting for is

1749
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 2: going through a rough stretch, lost two games in a row,

1750
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 2: maybe three in a row, maybe one in three through

1751
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 2: the last four games. When you have an analyst who's

1752
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 2: attending a practice as part of their pregame production and says, yeah,

1753
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 2: but you wouldn't be able to tell that that was

1754
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,759
Speaker 2: a one in three team through the last four weeks,

1755
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 2: going to their practice, high energy, everybody's bought in this, coaches,

1756
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,719
Speaker 2: the message is being sent, it's well received. Those things. Okay,

1757
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 2: I just spoke right there for ten seconds. But something

1758
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 2: like that tells an incredible story about perseverance. About the

1759
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 2: resilience of a team. He's not going to have the

1760
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 2: ability to speak candidly about what a team looks like,

1761
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 2: feels like, sounds like outside of what he can observe

1762
01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 2: on film. It is a huge deterrent for Tom Brady

1763
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,719
Speaker 2: to either throw in and invest in one of these teams.

1764
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 2: And maybe that's what the owners want, maybe they don't want.

1765
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they want to keep it a closed culture where

1766
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 2: we've never had a former player owner before, at least

1767
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 2: not to my knowledge.

1768
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: Well there have been former player owners, but not of

1769
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: tom Brady's caliber.

1770
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 2: No, No, definitely, not of tom Brady's calacter. Nobody near caliber,

1771
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 2: nobody nearly as famous as him now. Or maybe they're

1772
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 2: kind of saying, hey, pick your poison. You want to

1773
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 2: be a broadcaster, be a broadcaster. It helps our league.

1774
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 2: We would love for you to be an ambassador of

1775
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 2: our league in that way. You want to be an owner,

1776
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 2: be an owner, that's fine, we would love you.

1777
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:40,600
Speaker 1: But the NFL royalty seven million dollars a year to

1778
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 1: be that guy. Okay, buts to wing it during a game.

1779
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 2: Yes, But let's face it, if the NFL, if you

1780
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 2: have the kind of money to invest in the NFL

1781
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 2: and the NFL except Malady.

1782
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: He's the biggest name in the business. The question is

1783
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: he such a big name he can get away with it?

1784
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 3: Okay, can he get away with it? Yes?

1785
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 2: Will there be something missing from his broadcast that other

1786
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 2: broadcasters will be able to have in the golf bag

1787
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,879
Speaker 2: so to speak. Yeah, he's gonna be missing some clubs.

1788
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,000
Speaker 2: It's like it's like going out there in the rest

1789
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 2: of the field is playing with fourteen clubs and you

1790
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 2: only have nine, and you it's like, Okay, good luck

1791
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 2: putting without a putter.

1792
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 3: That's what it feels like. That's what it feels like.

1793
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 2: The NFL setting up Tom Brady for if he becomes

1794
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 2: a minority owner with the Raiders.

1795
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: Well, I know one thing that will help Tom Brady if

1796
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 1: he's a regular on our Sunday show.

1797
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 6: I was literally about to say, as you guys were

1798
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 6: having this discussion to take the listeners behind the glass.

1799
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 6: I am currently emailing with the representative to try and

1800
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 6: get Tom Brady on the Sunday shows with us here.

1801
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it works out.

1802
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: Back in the day, Joe Buck was regular, Tory Jeigeman

1803
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 1: was a regular, Kevin Burkhart's been a regular. I mean

1804
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: we've had all the Greg Olson obviously. How many times

1805
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: we have Greg.

1806
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 3: Olsen on quite a few.

1807
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 6: I did give them Rich's phone numbers for Social Security numbers.

1808
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: Sorry, good, excellent, Yeah, we're gonna have to run that through, all.

1809
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 3: Right, Social secret.

1810
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: This all again next week. Every let card All right,

1811
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: let's get back to our breakdown of the NFC North.

1812
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 3: Next up, the Green Bay Packers. Remember when Matt Lafleur was.

1813
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,680
Speaker 1: Higher by the Packers and there are some questions like

1814
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 1: he's like almost the same age as Aaron Rodgers and

1815
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,759
Speaker 1: what can he do? And then all of a sudden,

1816
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers after a down year his back to back

1817
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:27,000
Speaker 1: MVP seasons, and then it became like, well, who makes

1818
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 1: you like is Aaron Rodgers making Matt Lafleur? And then

1819
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: we saw Jordan Love last year and his first year

1820
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: as a starter suddenly put a huge number second the

1821
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 1: league in touchdown passes. Matt Lafleur's career records a head

1822
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: coach is fifty six and twenty seven. Let me repeat that,

1823
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: fifty six and twenty seven. He's been in the playoffs

1824
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: four times and won three Division titles in five years.

1825
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: There's no reason to think it's gonna change now. I

1826
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,679
Speaker 1: think the Green Bay Packers, who snuck into the playoffs

1827
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 1: and nine wins and then dominated the Cowboys on the road,

1828
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 1: are only going to get better. I have the Packers

1829
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: jumping up to eleven wins this year and very much

1830
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: securing eight playoff position.

1831
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: All right, so I swear we are not looking at

1832
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 2: each other's sheets. Nobody's cheating off each other in this room.

1833
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 2: I have the exact same number of wins for the Packers.

1834
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 2: I think Matt Lafleur, I literally have this written down.

1835
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 2: Matt Lafleur underrated under way, and Matt Lafleur is one

1836
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 2: of the most underrated coaches in the NFL. What he's

1837
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 2: been able to do not only successfully taming Aaron Rodgers

1838
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 2: as much as he could during his final years, but

1839
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 2: also handling a really clunky transition, not by his own doing,

1840
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 2: of course, because Aaron Rodgers obviously made it difficult, just

1841
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 2: like Brett Farve his predecessor. It was clunky, But in

1842
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 2: the meantime he kept the main thing, the main thing,

1843
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 2: which was making sure that Jordan Love was going to

1844
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 2: be the best possible football player when he took over

1845
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 2: for Aaron. And guess what, he's one of the top

1846
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,679
Speaker 2: qbs in this league. He's getting paid that way. He's

1847
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 2: earned that money, and good for him and good for

1848
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 2: Matt Lafleur. So yeah, I'm with you, Lockstep. I think

1849
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 2: they improve on last year. That's an eleven win.

1850
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 3: Team, all right, what do you say, Bo?

1851
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 6: You hear a lot about like how Jordan Love finished

1852
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 6: the year last year and how spectacular he was, But unfortunately,

1853
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,759
Speaker 6: there's more than just the last few weeks of football season,

1854
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 6: Like there were games that happened before that, And I'm sorry,

1855
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 6: I don't know if Jordan Love is worth the contract

1856
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 6: that he got just yet. I would like to see

1857
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 6: it this year. But I still think they're a ten

1858
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 6: win team this year. But I'm just not sure that

1859
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:45,560
Speaker 6: we're rightfully putting Jordan Love in that upper echelontic quarterbacks

1860
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 6: just yet.

1861
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: All right, So not quite there yet, not to the

1862
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: level Rich and I are with the Packers. Where are

1863
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: you right now?

1864
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 3: Chris with the Green Bay Packers?

1865
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: I hate them, so start with that. But a really

1866
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: tough division for him.

1867
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 5: But I mean, can we Bo brings up the other

1868
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 5: games where Jordan Love wasn't good. Can we also bring

1869
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 5: up like that final drive against in the playoffs where

1870
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 5: he's just scrambling for getting every fundamental and throwing across

1871
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 5: his body Like, I'm not ready to anoint Jordan Love

1872
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,680
Speaker 5: just yet. I you know, you lose aj Dillon for

1873
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:24,839
Speaker 5: the year. I've never been impressed with their wide receiver corps,

1874
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 5: like Christian Watson still needs to find that next next

1875
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 5: set to really be something interesting. Josh Jacobs is fine,

1876
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 5: but I've got no problems with their defense. I've got

1877
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 5: some questions about how for real we're really going to

1878
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 5: see with his offense here and again, I think much

1879
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,840
Speaker 5: like the Bears, people drink the Green Bay Jungle juice

1880
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 5: a little too quickly and start bringing up old hoary

1881
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 5: pictures of Vince Lombardi to throw up there on the screen.

1882
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 3: I know I'm not buying it. I'm just not. I've

1883
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 3: got I've got nine wins for them.

1884
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:01,599
Speaker 1: Only nine and eight, honestly where they were a year ago?

1885
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: Nine and eight?

1886
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 3: All right, Monci, where are you with the pack?

1887
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 8: And kind of with Chris on this one.

1888
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 7: I have them winning nine, but there's three questionable losses

1889
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 7: that I've written down that they that they could win,

1890
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 7: but I wrote down initially nine.

1891
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 8: So with the three question marks I have, let's move

1892
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 8: it up to ten. Why not ten and seven?

1893
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 3: All right, ten and seven?

1894
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:27,959
Speaker 1: So here is now time to talk about these Minnesota Vikings.

1895
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Oh boy, all right, so you talk about how fortunes

1896
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:35,600
Speaker 1: can change. So two years ago, miraculously they had to

1897
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 1: be the worst thirteen win team ever.

1898
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 3: They were outscored. Think about that.

1899
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,879
Speaker 1: They were thirteen and four and gave up more points

1900
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: than they scored eleven and zero in one score games.

1901
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 1: And that ended with that ugly playoff loss at home

1902
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:51,799
Speaker 1: to the Giants. Can you imagine the Vikings and Giants

1903
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 1: in the playoff game two years ago? Anyway, and last

1904
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 1: year they came back to earth with seven and ten

1905
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: after the injury, of course, to Kirk Cousins.

1906
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,440
Speaker 3: I don't think they could have imagined the kind of money.

1907
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 1: That Atlanta was going to throw at Kirk Cousins. I

1908
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 1: think they were fully expecting the Kirk Cousins is going

1909
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:07,480
Speaker 1: to be their quarterback.

1910
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:09,760
Speaker 3: They draft JJ McCarthy.

1911
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: And his season ends immediately, so there will be no

1912
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy this year. That means it's Sam Donald, Sam Donald,

1913
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,600
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Sam Darnold is guy that can make some

1914
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:27,880
Speaker 1: plays happen. Unfortunately they're not all positive. And I think

1915
01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 1: it's going to be a prime example of that. As

1916
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 1: good as I think this division will be, it's going

1917
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 1: to be that rough for the Vikings seven and ten

1918
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: last year, I think you might have to drop him

1919
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: down to six and eleven.

1920
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:48,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Rich wins for the Vikings for Steve all right,

1921
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a little bit kinder to them. I

1922
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 2: know you believe in Sam Dnal A big believer in

1923
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, always has been. I echo Kyle Shanahan's statements

1924
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 2: when he said Sam Donald the best arm of any

1925
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,240
Speaker 2: quarterback who's ever played for the San Francisco forty nine ers.

1926
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 3: You can look it up. That is an actual quote.

1927
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam Perry, de Brockberty, and Jimmy, I mean, well,

1928
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,839
Speaker 2: he's he was talking about the history of the Niners,

1929
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 2: which includes Young and Montana.

1930
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, I digress there to say this about it

1931
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:23,879
Speaker 3: better than Whye tittle John Brody, That's right, better than Brody.

1932
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 3: Actually you should you should see.

1933
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 2: Sam Donold's Toyota Yaris that he drove to Vikings camp.

1934
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 2: With He has a bumper sticker that says better than Brody,

1935
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 2: better than Brod. Yeah, it's crazy. Anyways, Uh back to

1936
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 2: the Vikings. Look, you can count on one hand how

1937
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 2: many wins outside their division they're gonna have. They might

1938
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 2: beat the Seahawks, they might beat the Titans, they might

1939
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 2: beat the Colts. They probably will beat the Giants because

1940
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 2: they're awful. If they split the division, that's seven wins.

1941
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 2: If so, I'm close to siciding with you at six wins.

1942
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,439
Speaker 2: I'll say seven because the NFL is a tricky thing.

1943
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 2: Seven wins for the Vikings.

1944
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, you say split the division. I don't see that.

1945
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, so you have seven, I have six.

1946
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 1: Where are you on this one?

1947
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 3: Both?

1948
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 6: I think Kevin O'Connell is a real head coach in

1949
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 6: the NFL, But much like Gino Smith, I cannot buy

1950
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 6: into Sam Donald suddenly being good this late into his career.

1951
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 6: And I understand that he has Justin Jefferson and theoretically

1952
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 6: we'll have Jordan Addison, but it's just tough for me

1953
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 6: to be fully bought in on Sam Donald. I think

1954
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 6: they're gonna win five games this year.

1955
01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, even less than I yea.

1956
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 6: Not feeling the Vikings this year, all right, and you

1957
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,639
Speaker 6: can't forget the Patrick penalty too, So that's yeah, four

1958
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:45,480
Speaker 6: wins wins.

1959
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,920
Speaker 1: Now, Okay? Is that your official number? Four thirteen for

1960
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:50,599
Speaker 1: the Vikings, Chris.

1961
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 5: I'm kind of boxing into a corner because I've been

1962
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:56,559
Speaker 5: way too generous with the Packers and the Bears, even

1963
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 5: though I've had a lot of mean things to say

1964
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 5: about their respective franchises. Vikings fans weren't really upsetting me

1965
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 5: until last year, where they started calling the Lions dirty

1966
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 5: because like they got hit once or something, and it's like,

1967
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 5: oh my god, that's actual.

1968
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:12,680
Speaker 3: Oh my, you can't do that to us.

1969
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 5: Oh the Minnesota nice evaporated too quickly, And I know

1970
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 5: I'm getting very personal with this, but like, yeah, I

1971
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 5: don't think you can talk me to any universe in

1972
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 5: liking Sam Darnold. I'm sorry to Justin Jefferson owners out

1973
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 5: there in fantasy.

1974
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 10: Uh.

1975
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,519
Speaker 5: Not going to be a very productive year with that

1976
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 5: man at the Helm. But more than that, it just

1977
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 5: feels like if the Vikings need a cleanse to they

1978
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,479
Speaker 5: they I think Bo and I were talking about this

1979
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 5: even last year. They kind of really need to hit

1980
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 5: rock bottom before they can really turn around and actually

1981
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 5: be like a real team again. And they've kind of

1982
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:50,040
Speaker 5: been circling this. They've patched up things and looked impressive,

1983
01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 5: but I don't think that's gonna happen this year. Tying

1984
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 5: in the Patrick penalty as well. Five wins, five wins, yeah.

1985
01:34:57,479 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 1: All right, mind seeing not a lot of faith in

1986
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings right now?

1987
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 3: Where do you stand?

1988
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,320
Speaker 7: I mean, I understand why there's no faith in the Vikings,

1989
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 7: and I really feel like JJ McCarthy's injury.

1990
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:09,559
Speaker 8: Was kind of like, uh, setting the tone for the

1991
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,640
Speaker 8: type of season, that little bit of a omen exactly

1992
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 8: for what the Vikings are going to do. I really

1993
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 8: don't know what Sam Darnold is capable of.

1994
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,080
Speaker 7: I'm not saying he can't do it, but I don't know,

1995
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:22,599
Speaker 7: so I can't rely on him.

1996
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 8: But I am putting them at seven wins for this.

1997
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: All right, a little more faith at least they get

1998
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: to seven wins where they.

1999
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 3: Were the Patrick penalty to the Vikings this year.

2000
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:32,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I mean I did. I had that.

2001
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 7: So I have six wins for sure, and then three

2002
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 7: games where I'm like, may maybe.

2003
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 8: You know what I mean? So I'm going to seven.

2004
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:42,440
Speaker 8: I have three questionable games.

2005
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 3: So I think the Patrick penalty is about like what

2006
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 3: one and a half game?

2007
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: I think.

2008
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be happy, all right?

2009
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 1: So here is here is our comfort in the Seahaw.

2010
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 1: All right, So let's run down our picks in the

2011
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 1: NFC North. I am I'm going all in on the

2012
01:35:57,080 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 1: NFC North this year. I have the Lions winning the division,

2013
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: and I have both the Packers and the Bears as wildcards.

2014
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:09,240
Speaker 1: That's right, the best division save the Vikings. Three teams

2015
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: come out of this division and make it to the postseason.

2016
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 3: Rich.

2017
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the Bears and Vikings taking up the

2018
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 2: bottom of the division with seven wins, and then the

2019
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 2: Lions are at the top with twelve wins. NFC North winners,

2020
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 2: Packers second place, but sneak in, actually don't sneak in comfortably?

2021
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 2: Cruise in as an eleven win team to the wildcard.

2022
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:32,480
Speaker 3: All right, Lions win it. Packers are in as a wildcard.

2023
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 1: How about you both, Lions and Packers.

2024
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 3: Lions and Packers, how about you? Chris Uh, I'm trying

2025
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 3: to do the math in my head.

2026
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2027
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 5: No, I've got the Lions and just just narrowly getting

2028
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 5: in the Packers on a tie break.

2029
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 3: All right, so the Packers do get in as a wildcard.

2030
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 7: Monci Lions win the division, and I do have the

2031
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 7: Packers and the Bears.

2032
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: Okay, and be like me, okay, all right? Well three

2033
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:02,679
Speaker 1: and one to go finally, and.

2034
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:04,480
Speaker 3: This is Bo's territory.

2035
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 1: The NFC East, a division that has not seen a

2036
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 1: repeat winner in twenty years, oh bit, twenty years since

2037

2057
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: shared on this very program today. Yeah, it's an exercise.

2058
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of fun, especially when you get

2059
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 2: to the quarter point of the season, the midpoint of

2060
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:34,600
Speaker 2: the season. You know, you get toward the end, Reviewing

2061
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 2: what you thought the season was going to look like

2062
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,720
Speaker 2: prior to the season and having a written account is

2063
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 2: something that if you're big enough sports fan, it is.

2064
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:47,800
Speaker 2: It is an interesting exercise because what it does is

2065
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 2: it highlights how volatile the NFL truly is and how

2066
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 2: much parody the NFL truly has the fact that they

2067
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 2: have a hard cap and a draft. It creates a

2068
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 2: lot of I guess you would say equality amongst these

2069
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 2: teams that is really missing from other leagues. Now, you

2070
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:10,400
Speaker 2: could complain about it from the standpoint and perspective of

2071
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 2: a player the NFL Union, the players union, they probably

2072
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 2: have the worst deal amongst all the other players, or

2073
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,600
Speaker 2: I should say all the other leagues. And if you

2074
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:24,280
Speaker 2: think about it from a hard cap standpoint, baseball doesn't.

2075
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:26,799
Speaker 2: And we're going to soon see our first billion dollar

2076
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 2: athlete out of that sport. That'll happen before twenty thirty.

2077
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 2: So it does create a lot of parody though it does.

2078
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 1: It does. Indeed, all right, guys, I'll tell you what.

2079
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: Let's let's find out what's trending.

2080
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:40,679
Speaker 3: A little early.

2081
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,479
Speaker 1: Yes, that way we could get a fresh start on

2082
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,599
Speaker 1: the other side, because alphabetically we're going to start with

2083
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

2084

01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 6: are you do an alphabetical by city or by team name?

2167
01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:14,519
Speaker 3: By city? Okay?

2168
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: I was confused, Yeah, just st okay, So otherwise I

2169
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:22,040
Speaker 1: know you're like the Commanders. I still have a hard

2170
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 1: time with that name. That's like a fake name.

2171
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 3: But whatever.

2172
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 1: So the Dallas Cowboys Division winners a year ago. I

2173
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 1: mentioned it's been twenty years since Andy Reid led the

2174
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 1: Eagles to four consecutive NFC East championships between one and

2175
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: oh four, and since then, not a single team has

2176
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,639
Speaker 1: won back to back NFC East championships. So I mentioned

2177
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 1: a very busy offseason for the Cowboys. To me, the

2178
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:50,320
Speaker 1: biggest story out of this offseason no contract extension for

2179
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Right, Jerry Jones said he's not extending his deal,

2180
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: which means technically he will be a free agent after

2181
01:43:57,400 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: this season.

2182
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:01,360
Speaker 3: A guy that was runner up for MVP a year ago.

2183
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 3: Will this motivate Dak Prescott?

2184
01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:07,839
Speaker 1: Will this have an adverse effect on this Dallas Cowboys team?

2185
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 1: You may be surprised that I believe it's going to

2186
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,640
Speaker 1: have a positive effect on the Dallas Cowboys. This was

2187
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 1: the highest scoring team in the National Football League a

2188
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:23,320
Speaker 1: year ago. They had the second highest point differential in

2189
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: the NFL a year ago. Yeah, they laid an egg

2190
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and against the Green Bay Packers, but

2191
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 1: for the regular season, this was absolutely one of the

2192
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL a year ago, and the

2193
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 1: principals are all back, and I think we will see

2194
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:44,880
Speaker 1: a very motivated Dak Prescott. I like the Dallas Cowboys

2195
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Twelve and five a year ago,

2196
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 1: with a couple of bottom feeders in this division, I

2197
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 1: think they actually tick up. I'm going to have the

2198
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at thirteen and four.

2199
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:04,839
Speaker 2: Thirteen wins for the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, here's the problem

2200
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 2: for the Dallas Cowboys. The problem is the discord that

2201
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones has created to start this season. Not signing

2202
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott is a problem. I don't think that Dak Prescott,

2203
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:19,880
Speaker 2: if you look at his playoff resume, is a type

2204
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 2: of player who plays exceedingly well when the pressure is on.

2205
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:25,280
Speaker 2: He is a lame duck. He is playing for his

2206
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 2: contract and for his future, and I don't know how

2207
01:45:28,240 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 2: well that goes. Also, you have Mike McCarthy who doesn't

2208
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:36,679
Speaker 2: have a contract, so he's also a lame duck. Mike

2209
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 2: McCarthy in a lame duck year. If things start sliding

2210
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 2: for the Cowboys, look out, this could get really ugly,

2211
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 2: really fast. I cannot commit to double digit wins for

2212
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 2: a team with a coach on an expiring contract. That

2213
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 2: means Jerry Jones has zero faith in his quarterback and

2214
01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 2: his head coach. So I don't have faith in the

2215
01:45:57,360 --> 01:45:59,599
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. I haven't met nine wins this.

2216
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 3: Season, nine and eight they fall from grace.

2217
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:04,960
Speaker 1: All right, big difference in this room bow where you

2218
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:06,040
Speaker 1: stand on the Cowboys.

2219
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 6: Can you guys imagine if Jalen Hurts gave a press

2220
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,640
Speaker 6: conference and he was like, I don't really listen to

2221
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 6: what Jeffrey Lury says in the media, or if Patrick

2222
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 6: Mahomes is like, yeah, I don't really care what Clark

2223
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 6: Hunt says in the media. That is really odd to

2224
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 6: me that Dak and Jerry Jones have that relationship. It

2225
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 6: feels like a very adversarial relationship between Jerry Jones and

2226
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 6: his players. And on top of all this, like I

2227
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:31,920
Speaker 6: just don't think the Cowboys are gonna be very good.

2228
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:35,880
Speaker 6: I think they help. It's helped by playing in the

2229
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:40,639
Speaker 6: division with the Giants and the Commanders, And as I've

2230
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:43,320
Speaker 6: established before, I think the Cowboys are always guaranteed to

2231
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:47,160
Speaker 6: get double digit wins by the NFL themselves through strange means,

2232
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:50,360
Speaker 6: so I have them as a ten win team this year,

2233
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 6: but I'm also invoking the Ricky penalty and taking away

2234
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 6: nine wins, so they're gonna win one game this year.

2235
01:46:57,800 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

2236
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: You're saying Cowboys win a single game?

2237
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:03,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, by virtue of the Ricky penalty.

2238
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:07,480
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so one in sixteen for the Dallas Cowboys.

2239
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 3: Hold on. It really needs to though.

2240
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 5: I almost feel like the Ricky penalty is adding a

2241
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:14,720
Speaker 5: win to them because he is the.

2242
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah of Dak Prescott.

2243
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, so you're gonna stick with one wink. Yeah, Okay,

2244
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 1: he's going one in sixteen.

2245
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,640
Speaker 6: One legitimate win, illegitimate wins given it.

2246
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 5: Okay, you're saying nine wins to typos. Credit about in

2247
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 5: the NFL helping them out. I'm noticing, once again the

2248
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 5: Lions have to play in Dallas. I do not remember

2249
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:39,559
Speaker 5: the last time the Dallas Cowboys actually had to go

2250
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,040
Speaker 5: to Detroit. I feel like every year, or at least

2251
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 5: two out of every three years, the Lions and Cowboys play,

2252
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:50,720
Speaker 5: and I've never seen the Cowboys play in Detroit. It

2253
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 5: feels like a mirage. And I'm not sure how that

2254
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 5: keeps working out, that that that's the case.

2255
01:47:58,360 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 3: That's that's the Jerrah of fact. Yeah, the jer ef fact.

2256
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:04,719
Speaker 1: Well, the Cowboys first playoff game and the Jerry Jones

2257
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 1: era was in Detroit and they got routed yep in

2258
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:09,799
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. So remember that.

2259
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 5: The famous cursed Madden words of the two teams of

2260
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 5: the nineties. He's only half correct. Yes, I'm not sure

2261
01:48:18,479 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 5: what to do with this team. I'm gonna go and said,

2262
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 5: I think the AFC East is going to take the

2263
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 5: crown from AFC South as weakest division this year.

2264
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:29,479
Speaker 3: It's just not going to look pretty.

2265
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 5: I'm not terribly impressed by what's happened with the Dallas Cowboys.

2266
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 5: I not terribly impressed with Dak Prescott. Maybe I've been

2267
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:40,839
Speaker 5: hanging around Ricky a little.

2268
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,320
Speaker 3: Bit too much. They have.

2269
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:45,959
Speaker 5: They had like almost a plus two hundred point differential

2270
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 5: last year, and I'm still not sure how I'm gonna

2271
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put them down for a perfect five hundred

2272
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 5: record at eight eight and one.

2273
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: Oh, he's going with another time one. All right, So

2274
01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: let me get this straight, Bo, You've got nine wins.

2275
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 3: I have him ten wins, Yeah, ten wins spiritually one okay, but.

2276
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Ten spiritually one, but in reality ten Chris got eight,

2277
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,519
Speaker 1: eight and one. Rich you got him at I have

2278
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 1: him at nine wins, nine wins, and I have thirteen wins.

2279
01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:18,680
Speaker 3: Something to know too, is that Chris has to have

2280
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:21,599
Speaker 3: one more tie, right because he's at three tie early.

2281
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 3: Oh thank you for yeah. But he has a tie

2282
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:25,000
Speaker 3: from in the AFC as.

2283
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:27,400
Speaker 5: Well, all right, so he's gonna have to And also

2284
01:49:27,520 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 5: make sure the Cowboys and the and the Falcons play.

2285
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:33,559
Speaker 2: I'm only keeping count of your wins because that's why

2286
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:35,439
Speaker 2: I don't do bad news.

2287
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:38,880
Speaker 1: They Oh no, wait, they do play. Okay, okay, very good, Matzi.

2288
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 1: Where are you with the boys?

2289
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:43,680
Speaker 7: Well, it's not it's not that I think dak Is

2290
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:46,000
Speaker 7: is the man. I do think he is going to

2291
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 7: perform out of his mind because of Jerry Jones not

2292
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 7: wanting to pay him. So I have them winning ten

2293
01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 7: games with four questionable ones that they could win.

2294
01:49:56,240 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 1: So let's make it twelve twelve closer to us, all right,

2295
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: So they won twelve last year, they won twelve again,

2296
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:04,639
Speaker 1: all right?

2297
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 3: Next up, guys, it's the New York Giants.

2298
01:50:07,439 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: Oh boy, And the longer I stare at this team,

2299
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 1: the bore I convinced that, save the New England Patriots,

2300
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:18,839
Speaker 1: this is the worst team in the NFL. It's close

2301
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:22,760
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. They won six games last year. I'm

2302
01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:24,760
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out how they did that. They

2303
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:29,560
Speaker 1: only had two hundred and sixty six points. No, Saquon,

2304
01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:33,639
Speaker 1: I mean this is this is a really bad team.

2305
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 1: Brian Davile has gone from like like the most sought

2306
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:39,400
Speaker 1: after head coaching guy to a guy who will one

2307
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 1: hund be in the unemployment line after this season. How

2308
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:47,599
Speaker 1: low do I go with the Giants. I'm gonna say,

2309
01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go all the way there. Three and fourteen

2310
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 1: is what I'm staring at with this year's New York

2311
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:55,080
Speaker 1: Giants team.

2312
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:59,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so the split in the division method that I've

2313
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:02,280
Speaker 2: been using, it holds up here because I think this

2314
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 2: whole division takes a step back, Not quite as far

2315
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 2: as Chris Perfets prediction, but I do think that this

2316
01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 2: is going to be a weaker NFC East than we

2317
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 2: saw last year. I'm gonna say the Giants win four games,

2318
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 2: and it's really because if you look at their schedule,

2319
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 2: they play the Panthers once, and so I guess in

2320
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 2: that battle of the basement. I'll give them a win.

2321
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 2: So four wins for the New York gm men.

2322
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 1: All right, so I have three rich as four bow

2323
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:36,920
Speaker 1: Where are you with the g men? Anywhere else?

2324
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 6: I do not care about this team, or it will

2325
01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 6: be the scrivener. Yeah, I would rather take a nap,

2326
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 6: much like the Tennessee Titans. They have no effect on me.

2327
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 6: They're gonna win four games, four if they're lucky.

2328
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:53,800
Speaker 3: If they're lucky, yeah, I was. I had to drop

2329
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 3: this through.

2330
01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 1: I just figure like, everyone's going to be a round

2331
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 1: four Chris, what do you got? I'm winning the East.

2332
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 5: We've got a close to no god, no god, I'm

2333
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:08,200
Speaker 5: a Lions fan. I'm not psychotic. Yeah, I'm gonna make

2334
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:10,400
Speaker 5: this a clean sleep sweep and go for four wins.

2335
01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 5: There's just nothing like I feel bad because once upon

2336
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:16,960
Speaker 5: a time I would have probably pegged Brian Dable as

2337
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 5: incredibly smart. But I'm sorry. There's a point of like, yeah,

2338
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 5: but they had to tie themselves to Daniel Jones. Like, well,

2339
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 5: Brian Dables the one who tied himself to Daniel Jones.

2340
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 3: Well, they made the playoffs, they won a playoff game.

2341
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:31,160
Speaker 1: He had a mediocre season, and they bought in and

2342
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:33,639
Speaker 1: committed forty million a year to the guy.

2343
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 3: I just I can't do this with the Giants.

2344
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:39,639
Speaker 5: It sucks because I feel like they've got some talent

2345
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:41,800
Speaker 5: around there that they can probably build a future on.

2346
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 5: But this is a team that Bo and I talked

2347
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,760
Speaker 5: about this about behind the glass, like the Giants are

2348
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 5: just as an organization, they do really dumb things a lot,

2349
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 5: and they seem to like really relish in doing dumb

2350
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:53,520
Speaker 5: things repeatedly.

2351
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 3: They do that. Indeed, all right, matey, where are you

2352
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 3: with the GMN.

2353
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,719
Speaker 8: It's low between four and five.

2354
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:03,679
Speaker 7: I just feel like if the Eagles do well, they're

2355
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:05,439
Speaker 7: going to win that last game, So I want to

2356
01:53:05,479 --> 01:53:06,599
Speaker 7: bump them up to five.

2357
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 1: Five all right, there's the high wider mark for the

2358
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 1: New York Giants.

2359
01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 3: Five wins for months.

2360
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:14,640
Speaker 6: I say all that about the Giants, and I do

2361
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:17,680
Speaker 6: have a season long wager on the New York Giants quarterbacks.

2362
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,880
Speaker 6: So if he can just go over twenty nine hundred

2363
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 6: passing yards, I think that'll be okay.

2364
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 3: What was I mean he does here? So what was

2365
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 3: your win total? I forgot I had.

2366
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:29,880
Speaker 1: So I have him in the three months he has

2367
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 1: five and the rest of you have a at four.

2368
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: All right. On the other side, we still have two

2369
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: more teams, the Eagles and the Commanders. So we wrap

2370
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:42,679
Speaker 1: up the NFC East. This is Fox Football Sunday, Steve Harbin,

2371
01:53:43,080 --> 01:53:46,760
Speaker 1: Rich Ornberger, Fox Football Sunday. We are live from the

2372
01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 1: tire rack dot Com studio. So over the last couple

2373
01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 1: of Sundays, we've been breaking down all thirty two teams

2374
01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, Predictions on wins, who's going to be

2375
01:53:57,200 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, wild carts, the whole shebang as we

2376
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,519
Speaker 1: get ready for the start of the season, which we'll

2377
01:54:02,520 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 1: start on Thursday with the New England Patriots not in

2378
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 1: the game. You remember the Thursday opener every year with

2379
01:54:09,200 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. It was like that regular New

2380
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:12,080
Speaker 1: England Patriot.

2381
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Not anymore now.

2382
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:18,360
Speaker 1: The Chiefs, it's the Chiefs. It is the Chiefs all

2383
01:54:18,439 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 1: the way as they are going to try to make

2384
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:23,719
Speaker 1: history to become the first team ever to win three

2385
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:26,880
Speaker 1: consecutive Super Bowls. We'll get to our Super Bowl picks

2386
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 1: later on in the next hour. Also coming up in

2387
01:54:29,280 --> 01:54:32,120
Speaker 1: the next hour, John Paul Morosi, It's going to be Johnny,

2388
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 1: It's going to break down as we head down the stretch,

2389
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:38,360
Speaker 1: the September stretch in Major League Baseball. All right, guys,

2390
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to go out of order because I'm looking

2391
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:43,680
Speaker 1: at the clock and I'm going to save the Eagles

2392
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:47,160
Speaker 1: for after the top of the hour. Okay, So let's

2393
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 1: let's get into the Washington Commanders again. A team that

2394
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:54,360
Speaker 1: was four and thirteen a year ago gave up more

2395
01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 1: points than any team in the NFL, A wopping five

2396
01:54:57,520 --> 01:54:58,720
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen points.

2397
01:54:58,720 --> 01:54:59,160
Speaker 3: That's right.

2398
01:54:59,200 --> 01:55:02,800
Speaker 1: They gave up an average of thirty points a game

2399
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:04,200
Speaker 1: for a seventeen game season.

2400
01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 3: That is a lot of points. It's a lot.

2401
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:11,440
Speaker 1: That's an average of thirty for a seventeen game season.

2402
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 1: So Jaden Daniels now comes in as their starting quarterback.

2403
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 1: There's no a little research because you know, I didn't

2404
01:55:18,720 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 1: vote Jayden Daniels number one of my Heisman ballat I

2405
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 1: had panics over Daniels, and I really wanted to look

2406
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:28,840
Speaker 1: at Daniels' stats last year and compare him to like

2407
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,640
Speaker 1: his days at Arizona State. If you forget remember him

2408
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 1: at Arizona State, he had a really good year and

2409
01:55:36,160 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: then came the COVID year, which was a short year,

2410
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 1: and he played well then and then his third year

2411
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 1: was not good. Right, you know, he just sort of

2412
01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,960
Speaker 1: bought him out, like something happened that year he transfers

2413
01:55:47,960 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 1: to LSU.

2414
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:51,920
Speaker 3: His first year at LSU was almost identical to Joe.

2415
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,360
Speaker 1: Burrow's first year at LSU, where he was like, Okay,

2416
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 1: he's respectable, yeah, and then all of a sudden just explodes.

2417
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 3: He's a very accurate passer.

2418
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:03,880
Speaker 1: I will say that his numbers are impressive, especially it's

2419
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. But how much impact

2420
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:09,080
Speaker 1: is he gonna have on this Commander's team. They're much

2421
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,240
Speaker 1: better than the Giants. I don't think that they're even

2422
01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 1: close to being that terrible. I gotta believe the defense

2423
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:18,400
Speaker 1: is going to be upgraded. I gave the Giants three wins.

2424
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:21,320
Speaker 1: I'll double that. I think the Commanders can sneak in

2425
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 1: with six wins this season. Okay, and that's really gonna

2426
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:26,760
Speaker 1: be with Jayden Danis.

2427
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. Here's the deal.

2428
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:33,320
Speaker 2: I think Jayden Daniels, of all the first round quarterbacks,

2429
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 2: I like him the best in terms of what I

2430
01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 2: predict his transition will look like at the next level.

2431
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 2: If you look at the Commanders last season and you

2432
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:47,200
Speaker 2: just you just take in that record overall of only

2433
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 2: four wins, you're kind of burying the lead. This team

2434
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 2: lost close game after nail bider after close game, took

2435
01:56:56,320 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles to the to the closing bell two two times,

2436
01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 2: lost in overtime thirty four to thirty one. They actually

2437
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,880
Speaker 2: lost again another one score game that was a late

2438
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:10,360
Speaker 2: score from the Eagles they needed thirty eight to thirty one.

2439
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 2: Lost in early season, actually the first game of the season,

2440
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:17,560
Speaker 2: twenty to sixteen to the Arizona Cardinals. I mean their

2441
01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 2: whole schedule was littered with close losses. Yeah, it just

2442
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 2: and by the way, close wins too. So and it

2443
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 2: wasn't It wasn't great at quarterback. We know the story

2444
01:57:28,440 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 2: with the Commanders. It hasn't been good at quarterback in

2445
01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 2: a very very long time. Jayden Daniels is an enormous

2446
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:38,480
Speaker 2: upgrade at that position. He's the best quarterback prospect that

2447
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:41,760
Speaker 2: they've had walked through the doors in an exceedingly long time.

2448
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:43,880
Speaker 3: I have them winning eight games.

2449
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 1: One wow, that's the biggest.

2450
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 2: Grade, going to double their win total. I think En

2451
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 2: Daniels has the goods. This uncomfortable missing on big because

2452
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:55,800
Speaker 2: I really really think. I really think he's a good quarterback.

2453
01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:58,080
Speaker 2: I think he's the most secure prospect.

2454
01:57:58,120 --> 01:58:00,480
Speaker 3: All right, bo, are you believing in dan Quinn?

2455
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 6: No, not at all. I think their front office and

2456
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:05,839
Speaker 6: ownership group is kind of a mess.

2457
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

2458
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 6: Everybody kind of glossed over that Ben Johnson was like

2459
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:12,000
Speaker 6: the slam dunk higher for the Commanders and then it

2460
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 6: didn't happen.

2461
01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:14,160
Speaker 3: And he called them baseball up.

2462
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:18,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, he called them basketball guys. Dan Quinn is such

2463
01:58:18,160 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 6: a quintessential like third option for your hire.

2464
01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:23,520
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

2465
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 1: To me, it came out of Noe.

2466
01:58:24,920 --> 01:58:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2467
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:27,680
Speaker 3: It just feels like they were desperate just.

2468
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:28,320
Speaker 1: To have a place.

2469
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 3: Everyone thought he was going to Seattle.

2470
01:58:30,160 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and then just yeah. So it doesn't inspire confidence.

2471
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 6: But I do think Jayden Daniels is poised to be

2472
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:38,960
Speaker 6: more pro ready than some of the other Rocky quarterbacks.

2473
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 6: I just don't think that means very much. So I'm

2474
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:42,440
Speaker 6: gonna give him six wins this year.

2475
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 1: Sixth wins? So you're where I am? What do you say, Chris? Yeah?

2476
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 5: I have some faith in uh Jaden Daniels, but this

2477
01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:52,080
Speaker 5: isn't a roster that has a lot on it To

2478
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:55,360
Speaker 5: really talk about and I don't think the addition of

2479
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:58,400
Speaker 5: Bobby Wagner in his twilight years is going to really

2480
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:03,080
Speaker 5: He's still attack machine fantastic, don't listen. I would buy

2481
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:06,120
Speaker 5: a Bobby Wagner commander's jersey, and this guy got other

2482
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 5: plus tackles every year. But I don't think my philosophy

2483
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:13,760
Speaker 5: is always I don't think a star makes a unit.

2484
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, I'm gonna put but

2485
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 5: I do think they will improve quite a bit. I

2486
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 5: don't have much faith in the ownership or Dan Quinn,

2487
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:24,640
Speaker 5: but I will put them down for I'll be seven wins.

2488
01:59:24,680 --> 01:59:27,240
Speaker 5: I'll split the difference between between Rich and Bo.

2489
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:31,760
Speaker 7: All right, manci even if you know Jayden Daniels may

2490
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:34,920
Speaker 7: be ready and he may deliver. I think the Commanders

2491
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:38,360
Speaker 7: have a tough schedule. I'm giving them five wins.

2492
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 1: Only five, all right, So a little bit of an

2493
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:44,640
Speaker 1: upgrade for a year ago, but still a team that's

2494
01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: not going to be any threat as far as the

2495
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:49,800
Speaker 1: postseason is concerned. All right, Well, coming up on the

2496
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:53,240
Speaker 1: other side, guys, we still have one more team to

2497
01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: get to. It'll be the final team, and that will

2498
01:59:55,520 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 1: be Bo's Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, an Eagles team that went

2499
02:00:01,480 --> 02:00:06,280
Speaker 1: from Super Bowl losers to a complete collapse a year ago.

2500
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win the nfcast? Who will be in the

2501
02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? We answer all the questions coming up. This

2514
02:00:47,480 --> 02:00:48,400
Speaker 3: team left.

2515
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, and that is Bo's Philadelphia Eagles.

2516
02:00:52,440 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

2517
02:00:53,080 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Two years ago, the Eagles were really the talk of

2518
02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 1: the NFL after the Super Bowl. Let's face it, you

2519
02:00:59,400 --> 02:01:02,320
Speaker 1: could have made an argument that Jalen Hurts should have

2520
02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:04,720
Speaker 1: been the Super Bowl MVP. Oh yeah, he was the

2521
02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:08,480
Speaker 1: best player in the field, he outplayed Patrick Mahomes even

2522
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:11,320
Speaker 1: if the Eagles lost the game to the Chiefs, but

2523
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:14,960
Speaker 1: that more people honestly were talking about the Eagles and

2524
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Hurts after that Super Bowl than.

2525
02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:18,560
Speaker 3: The Chiefs who had won the game.

2526
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 1: I agree, and last year was an interesting year for

2527
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,120
Speaker 1: this Eagles team because they started ten to one and

2528
02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:27,920
Speaker 1: they never looked right like week after week right to

2529
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:30,600
Speaker 1: you and I would sit here on Sunday, the Eagles

2530
02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:33,400
Speaker 1: won again, but I don't know, something doesn't look like

2531
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:36,120
Speaker 1: they don't really resemble the team we saw the year before,

2532
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:43,800
Speaker 1: and then the wheels completely flew off the wagon, resulting,

2533
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:48,840
Speaker 1: obviously in an embarrassing postseason performance. I mentioned before last year,

2534
02:01:48,880 --> 02:01:52,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were a plus one ninety four point differential.

2535
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:55,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles were eleven and six. Last year they were

2536
02:01:55,520 --> 02:01:59,480
Speaker 1: a plus five. Who they scored four hundred and thirty

2537
02:01:59,520 --> 02:02:02,080
Speaker 1: three points, then they score allowed four hundred and twenty eight.

2538
02:02:03,160 --> 02:02:05,320
Speaker 1: You're almost asking, how do they win eleven games? Well,

2539
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:08,480
Speaker 1: they won a lot of close games early and then

2540
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:12,200
Speaker 1: they had some ugly losses down the stretch. So this

2541
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:16,120
Speaker 1: to me is one of the I think the most

2542
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:21,280
Speaker 1: difficult team to analyze for twenty twenty four. Are they

2543
02:02:21,280 --> 02:02:24,560
Speaker 1: going to bounce back? Was that second half of the

2544
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:28,160
Speaker 1: season in aberration? Is Jalen Hurts really the player we

2545
02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:31,480
Speaker 1: thought he was after that amazing performance he had two

2546
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:33,640
Speaker 1: years in the Super Bowl. These are all questions. I

2547
02:02:33,720 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 1: really don't even have the answers. Nick siriannies he still

2548
02:02:37,960 --> 02:02:42,200
Speaker 1: the guy? Does he still have that team? I look

2549
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:46,240
Speaker 1: at the talent and I say it's still there, and

2550
02:02:46,720 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: they do benefit from playing in a very weak division.

2551
02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:53,560
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna have the Eagles. They were

2552
02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:58,040
Speaker 1: eleven and six last year. They're gonna win ten games

2553
02:02:58,080 --> 02:03:02,640
Speaker 1: this year and they will be a wildcard team. Now

2554
02:03:02,680 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 1: the question is will they be improved at the end

2555
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:07,720
Speaker 1: of the year. Will they build the ten and seven

2556
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:09,200
Speaker 1: maybe have some men in the postseason.

2557
02:03:09,200 --> 02:03:11,160
Speaker 3: We'll see. But that's where I got them right now.

2558
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Eagles at ten and seven, and they do sneak in

2559
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 1: as a wildcard.

2560
02:03:15,320 --> 02:03:20,000
Speaker 2: So they had that inexplicable loss to the Giants at

2561
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 2: the end of their season. It was just brutal down

2562
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:27,160
Speaker 2: the stretch there. But if you rewind back to Week

2563
02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:30,320
Speaker 2: fifteen of last season, they lost a close one on

2564
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:33,800
Speaker 2: the road to Seattle. The week before that Giants loss.

2565
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:36,960
Speaker 2: They lose an extremely close game of shootout which was

2566
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:41,000
Speaker 2: really weird to the Arizona Cardinals in Philadelphia. And like

2567
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 2: I said, the Cardinals played a lot of teams tough.

2568
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:45,680
Speaker 2: I think the Cardinals were a tougher team than a

2569
02:03:45,720 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 2: lot of people were willing to give them credit for.

2570
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:51,680
Speaker 2: And that's also a coach that new Jellen Hurts, the

2571
02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:54,560
Speaker 2: head coach of Arizona Cardinals, had been there this season before,

2572
02:03:54,680 --> 02:03:58,160
Speaker 2: so you have the scouting report on everything you need

2573
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:02,000
Speaker 2: to do to attack that team offensively, and the Cardinals

2574
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:02,760
Speaker 2: did a nice job.

2575
02:04:03,080 --> 02:04:03,440
Speaker 3: Okay.

2576
02:04:03,480 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 2: So having said that, this team could have been potentially

2577
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:11,000
Speaker 2: a thirteen win team last year, we would have felt

2578
02:04:11,120 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 2: very very different about them going into the postseason.

2579
02:04:14,840 --> 02:04:15,480
Speaker 3: But they weren't.

2580
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 2: They were an eleven win team, and I understand that

2581
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:21,240
Speaker 2: last stretch was absolutely dreadful. I'm with you. I think

2582
02:04:21,240 --> 02:04:23,880
Speaker 2: they're a ten win team. I think they're solid in

2583
02:04:24,080 --> 02:04:28,680
Speaker 2: a very bad year overall for the NFC East, considering

2584
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 2: where they were the bulk of these teams and how

2585
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:35,160
Speaker 2: good the Cowboys and the Eagles looked last year in

2586
02:04:35,240 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 2: terms of their record alone, but last year heading into

2587
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:40,879
Speaker 2: the postseason, I think it's going to be a step down.

2588
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:43,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, I have them winning ten games. All right,

2589
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:44,240
Speaker 3: well your team.

2590
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 6: Well, thank you guys so much for the awesome recap

2591
02:04:46,480 --> 02:04:47,560
Speaker 6: of how fun last year was.

2592
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:50,280
Speaker 3: That was great. I love bringing all that back up

2593
02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:53,280
Speaker 3: that that was a lot of fun. Yeah, yeah, actually

2594
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:54,680
Speaker 3: we should spend maybe.

2595
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:59,960
Speaker 6: We still like I can just tell JP and skipped

2596
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:06,040
Speaker 6: we can. I have them starting six and zero. They

2597
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 6: go into Cincinnati and in a close loss, Nick Siiranni

2598
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 6: loses his mind and tries to attack Joe Burrow and

2599
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 6: he gets fired, and the Eagles elevate Big Dom to

2600
02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:22,160
Speaker 6: head coach and from there they go on to win.

2601
02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 3: Well, they'll they'll finish fourteen and three.

2602
02:05:25,520 --> 02:05:28,760
Speaker 6: Oh my god, my god, on the back of Big

2603
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 6: Dom as head coach, where he's supposed to be rightfully

2604
02:05:32,040 --> 02:05:36,720
Speaker 6: elevated to the head coaching position. I think Jalen Hurts

2605
02:05:36,760 --> 02:05:39,960
Speaker 6: is a legitimate MVP winner this year. He had a

2606
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:43,600
Speaker 6: phenomenal camp. The addition of Saquon Barkley I think cannot

2607
02:05:43,600 --> 02:05:46,240
Speaker 6: be understated. He's going to He's going to try to

2608
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:50,800
Speaker 6: double up Adrian Peterson's single game rushing record both times

2609
02:05:50,800 --> 02:05:54,360
Speaker 6: he plays the Giants this year, and they got their

2610
02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:56,560
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator they were supposed to have last year that

2611
02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 6: they didn't. Jalen Carter is going to be a defensive player,

2612
02:05:59,880 --> 02:06:02,560
Speaker 6: the candidate by the end of the season. I think

2613
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 6: they fixed their biggest issues. But Nick Sirianni is any

2614
02:06:07,960 --> 02:06:12,400
Speaker 6: proven year. If he doesn't win at least twelve games

2615
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 6: this year, I would think that he's out and you

2616
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:18,240
Speaker 6: might see Bill Belichick in. But I do think Jalen

2617
02:06:18,320 --> 02:06:19,800
Speaker 6: Hurts is going to have an MVP type year and

2618
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:21,640
Speaker 6: that's going to translate to fourteen wins.

2619
02:06:21,760 --> 02:06:23,440
Speaker 3: No, all right, fourteen wins is a lot.

2620
02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:26,880
Speaker 1: All right, so he's got But let's face it, Chris

2621
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:28,880
Speaker 1: is laughing at him because that's not a lot of

2622
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:31,520
Speaker 1: faith here team. I have my team winning sixteen games

2623
02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:32,640
Speaker 1: this year, hang on a second.

2624
02:06:32,680 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 2: And also Chris has a very unique situation here.

2625
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I BO, you've.

2626
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:39,320
Speaker 1: Been fairly measured.

2627
02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you definitely have the NFC North having some

2628
02:06:43,120 --> 02:06:47,680
Speaker 2: action packed teams there. In terms of the NFC East,

2629
02:06:47,720 --> 02:06:49,560
Speaker 2: it's a whole lot of nothing except for the.

2630
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:50,920
Speaker 3: Cowboys and Eagles. Now.

2631
02:06:51,000 --> 02:06:55,280
Speaker 2: Chris, on the other hand, for the NFC East right now,

2632
02:06:55,800 --> 02:06:58,720
Speaker 2: depending on what happens with the Eagles, the Cowboys win

2633
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 2: the division with eight games with eight wins.

2634
02:07:01,360 --> 02:07:03,600
Speaker 1: So all right, well, I think he's a big believer

2635
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 1: in the Eagles. Let's find out.

2636
02:07:05,760 --> 02:07:07,880
Speaker 5: Let me put it this way, I am still always

2637
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:11,720
Speaker 5: impressed by the Eagles offense. I think I need to

2638
02:07:11,800 --> 02:07:14,600
Speaker 5: lean on Bow a little bit because I listen, no

2639
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:17,560
Speaker 5: matter what filling Kelsey's shoes are, it's really hard. And

2640
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:20,480
Speaker 5: I guess the question is is Cam Jurgens is he

2641
02:07:20,560 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 5: able to do that? And I guess we're gonna find

2642
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:27,480
Speaker 5: out on that front. Well, I think I saw Bow. Yeah,

2643
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:29,320
Speaker 5: I think I think he will. But that is also

2644
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:31,960
Speaker 5: a legitimate question too, is the loss of Jason Kelsey.

2645
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:33,880
Speaker 5: And you had that weird quote from Jalen Hurts this

2646
02:07:33,920 --> 02:07:36,360
Speaker 5: week where he was like, they told me not to

2647
02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:39,120
Speaker 5: do a lot of learning because we had Jason Kelcey

2648
02:07:39,160 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 5: and he would handle that stuff.

2649
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:42,160
Speaker 3: So that was a strange That was a strange thing

2650
02:07:42,160 --> 02:07:42,520
Speaker 3: for Jalen.

2651
02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 5: We do not give enough credit to the center position

2652
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 5: as how cerebral it is. You're kind of like, just

2653
02:07:48,560 --> 02:07:51,560
Speaker 5: how much you've got to you've got to be responsible for,

2654
02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:53,760
Speaker 5: and like, look, I'm not gonna act like the only

2655
02:07:53,800 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 5: thing Philadelphia could do was the Tush push, but that

2656
02:07:57,320 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 5: was that is a tool in their toolkit that they're

2657
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 5: kind of like, you know, losing a little bit more

2658
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:03,680
Speaker 5: and more. But Saquon Barkley is a very big upgrade

2659
02:08:03,680 --> 02:08:06,440
Speaker 5: over DeAndre Swift, which is a lesson that I think

2660
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:09,360
Speaker 5: the the Chicago Bears are going to learn very quickly

2661
02:08:09,960 --> 02:08:12,200
Speaker 5: about DeAndre Swift. That always sounds like a good idea

2662
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 5: in September and October, and then as Bo found out

2663
02:08:14,640 --> 02:08:17,760
Speaker 5: with the Eagles, that starts to have diminishing returns. But

2664
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:20,280
Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley I think is going to be great for them.

2665
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:23,560
Speaker 5: It's just a team that seems on the wrong side

2666
02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 5: of some age, but I still they got one in them.

2667
02:08:26,280 --> 02:08:29,960
Speaker 5: It'll look disappointing on the front. I do expect them

2668
02:08:29,960 --> 02:08:32,160
Speaker 5: to get off to a slower start and then Big

2669
02:08:32,200 --> 02:08:36,640
Speaker 5: Dom Dom Desandro then stages a mutiny, takes over and

2670
02:08:36,760 --> 02:08:41,480
Speaker 5: thus cements the first security guard to NFL head coach pipeline.

2671
02:08:42,160 --> 02:08:45,040
Speaker 5: Very exciting times the National Football League. Once that happens,

2672
02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:47,400
Speaker 5: I've got them at nine wins.

2673
02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Nine wins.

2674
02:08:48,800 --> 02:08:53,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Philadelphia I did forget Big Dom institutes on

2675
02:08:53,120 --> 02:08:54,640
Speaker 6: only Kelly Green's policy.

2676
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:56,000
Speaker 3: The uniforms yes.

2677
02:08:57,640 --> 02:08:59,320
Speaker 1: So in other words, as we're going to get to it,

2678
02:08:59,640 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Chris clearly made it clear, which is the weakest division

2679
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:04,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year?

2680
02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:06,960
Speaker 3: Matzi, where do you have the Eagles?

2681
02:09:07,120 --> 02:09:11,240
Speaker 7: I think there's questions regarding the relationship between Jalen Hurts

2682
02:09:11,280 --> 02:09:14,920
Speaker 7: and Nick Sirianni, which is the reason that I don't

2683
02:09:14,960 --> 02:09:17,120
Speaker 7: know exactly what the Eagles are going to do. Everything

2684
02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:18,600
Speaker 7: you said, I'm just like, I don't know how to

2685
02:09:18,760 --> 02:09:20,000
Speaker 7: assess them.

2686
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:23,640
Speaker 8: But since we're assessing them anyway, I have them winning

2687
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 8: ten games.

2688
02:09:24,520 --> 02:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Ten games, all right, Well, then we're we're in lockstep

2689
02:09:27,320 --> 02:09:27,560
Speaker 3: on that.

2690
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: All right. So final NFC East predictions. I have the

2691
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys ending the twenty year drought. They will win the

2692
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:39,640
Speaker 1: NFC East again, and the Eagles will get in as

2693
02:09:39,760 --> 02:09:40,720
Speaker 1: a wild card.

2694
02:09:40,880 --> 02:09:41,240
Speaker 3: All right.

2695
02:09:41,400 --> 02:09:45,680
Speaker 2: As for me, I have the Cowboys sneaking in as

2696
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:48,960
Speaker 2: a nine win wild card. The Eagles win the division

2697
02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 2: with ten wins, all right, bo.

2698
02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:55,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Eagles win the division and the Cowboys are given

2699
02:09:55,640 --> 02:09:56,600
Speaker 6: a wild card spot by.

2700
02:09:56,600 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 1: They're given they've.

2701
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:02,160
Speaker 2: Never because the in your bracket, the Falcons also have

2702
02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 2: ten wins, so that the NFL gives the Cowboys.

2703
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,400
Speaker 6: The NFL feels bad for Dallas and Gibson, so they

2704
02:10:07,400 --> 02:10:08,280
Speaker 6: get what they had to do.

2705
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:09,600
Speaker 3: There you go.

2706
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 1: See, So Chris, you're you're limited in your love of

2707
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:15,520
Speaker 1: the NFC East.

2708
02:10:15,680 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 7: No.

2709
02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:19,440
Speaker 5: I look, at some point things do change in the NFL,

2710
02:10:19,640 --> 02:10:22,040
Speaker 5: and as much as we've called the East competitive, it's

2711
02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:24,880
Speaker 5: also featured some fairly mid play, and I just think

2712
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:26,800
Speaker 5: the bottom falls out this year. I've got the Eagles

2713
02:10:26,800 --> 02:10:30,760
Speaker 5: winning the division at nine and eight, and everyone's unhappy

2714
02:10:30,800 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 5: about it. But guess what, We've been doing this for

2715
02:10:32,520 --> 02:10:35,560
Speaker 5: years with the NFC South and no wild card teams

2716
02:10:35,960 --> 02:10:38,680
Speaker 5: to speaking of here, all right, and I am glad

2717
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:41,080
Speaker 5: to assuage richest fears that I was going to have

2718
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:44,400
Speaker 5: an eight eight and one division winner. Listen, man, we've

2719
02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:48,320
Speaker 5: had worse, We have thans of that nature.

2720
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, We've had losing records, get win divisions.

2721
02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:54,040
Speaker 3: All right, Matzi, how does your NFC East look?

2722
02:10:54,120 --> 02:10:57,400
Speaker 7: The Cowboys win the division, the Eagles are a wild cards?

2723
02:10:57,440 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 1: All right, We're in lockstep there, all right. We're going

2724
02:10:59,880 --> 02:11:02,520
Speaker 1: to take a little time out and the other side

2725
02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:04,040
Speaker 1: down to the bottom of the hour, we're gonna give

2726
02:11:04,080 --> 02:11:07,240
Speaker 1: our playoff predictions, and then by the end of the

2727
02:11:07,280 --> 02:11:10,920
Speaker 1: show are Super Bowl predictions. On the other side, though,

2728
02:11:10,960 --> 02:11:13,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna switch gears talk a little Major League Baseball

2729
02:11:14,040 --> 02:11:18,120
Speaker 1: getting ready for the September stretch. John Paul Morosi, our

2730
02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio MLB insider, will join us. This is

2731
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Fox Football Sunday. Steve Harbin and rich Armburger. Here Fox

2732
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Football Sunday. We are live from the ti iraq dot

2733
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:34,440
Speaker 1: Com studios. Now remember next Sunday we morph into Red

2734
02:11:34,520 --> 02:11:41,000
Speaker 1: Zone Radio. And wow, I mean it is frantic. I

2735
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:43,760
Speaker 1: haven't checked the schedule. So we do have a Thursday game,

2736
02:11:43,800 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 1: and we have a Friday game in Brazil.

2737
02:11:46,200 --> 02:11:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me see what that Zila it looks like.

2738
02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:54,080
Speaker 1: So I don't think we have as many games kicking

2739
02:11:54,120 --> 02:11:54,760
Speaker 1: off Sunday.

2740
02:11:54,800 --> 02:11:56,760
Speaker 3: Do you actually think that Friday game is gonna get played?

2741
02:11:58,720 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 3: Why do you ask that?

2742
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:01,160
Speaker 6: I'm starting to think that it might not get played,

2743
02:12:01,320 --> 02:12:04,040
Speaker 6: given there's like environmental stuff down in Brazil that I

2744
02:12:04,040 --> 02:12:05,600
Speaker 6: guess there's some wildfires going on.

2745
02:12:05,840 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 3: Oh, we've seen the NFL be quick to pull the

2746
02:12:08,040 --> 02:12:09,160
Speaker 3: trigger on something like that before.

2747
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:11,000
Speaker 2: Well, then it'll be played in Philadelphia.

2748
02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean, that rush everyone home

2749
02:12:13,480 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 5: and played on a Monday or something or what.

2750
02:12:15,680 --> 02:12:18,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Well, yeah, I mean we've seen we've seen

2751
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:22,360
Speaker 2: double headers as a result of the pandemic on primetime games.

2752
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:25,760
Speaker 2: I could see that happening. So our cestigue games though

2753
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:27,959
Speaker 2: for Sunday, Yeah, that's true.

2754
02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:29,640
Speaker 3: All right. So I'm looking at day schedule.

2755
02:12:29,720 --> 02:12:36,040
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Atlanta, Arizona at Buffalo, Tennessee at Chicago. The Patriots

2756
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:41,960
Speaker 2: will face the Bengals, Houston Texans at Indianapolis, Colts, Jacksonville

2757
02:12:42,040 --> 02:12:47,560
Speaker 2: Jaguars facing the Dolphins in Miami, Carolina at New.

2758
02:12:47,440 --> 02:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Orleans, Minnesota at New York's or some ugly games.

2759
02:12:52,200 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter though. That's eight games, Okay, eight games,

2760
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:56,200
Speaker 3: so mine two.

2761
02:12:56,240 --> 02:13:00,160
Speaker 1: We have eight games kicking off on Sunday next Sunday,

2762
02:13:00,600 --> 02:13:03,120
Speaker 1: which is not Who've had ten games, so that's like.

2763
02:13:03,200 --> 02:13:05,200
Speaker 2: That's gonna be no problem among those.

2764
02:13:05,520 --> 02:13:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to, though, that Sunday night game

2765
02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:10,040
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Lions.

2766
02:13:10,080 --> 02:13:13,160
Speaker 2: No question in that early slate we're going to be covering.

2767
02:13:13,200 --> 02:13:16,240
Speaker 2: Amongst the eight games that we'll have airing at that point,

2768
02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:19,880
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers at Atlanta has the most juice to me.

2769
02:13:20,240 --> 02:13:24,360
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's Russell Wilson against Kirk Cousins. I'm

2770
02:13:24,520 --> 02:13:26,680
Speaker 2: very curious to see what the Steelers look like.

2771
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:29,200
Speaker 1: All right. Well, another man that is all over the

2772
02:13:29,200 --> 02:13:32,400
Speaker 1: start of the football season, along with his multitude of

2773
02:13:32,520 --> 02:13:36,440
Speaker 1: other jobs that he's engaged in, including covering Major League Baseball,

2774
02:13:36,640 --> 02:13:40,400
Speaker 1: is our Fox Sports Radio MLB insider, the great John

2775
02:13:40,600 --> 02:13:43,880
Speaker 1: Paul Morose JP. Before we get to a little baseball talk,

2776
02:13:43,960 --> 02:13:49,480
Speaker 1: when you get your thoughts about your Wolverines winning first

2777
02:13:49,520 --> 02:13:52,360
Speaker 1: game in the post, Jim Harbaugh era, what were your

2778
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:55,480
Speaker 1: impressions of your beloved Michigan Wolverines.

2779
02:13:55,800 --> 02:13:59,680
Speaker 4: Well, good afternoon. I don't think Michigan was as impressive

2780
02:13:59,720 --> 02:14:04,080
Speaker 4: as the Nitney Lions were yesterday. I must acknowledge that much.

2781
02:14:04,480 --> 02:14:08,280
Speaker 4: Full credits to Penn State. I think that Michigan certainly

2782
02:14:08,320 --> 02:14:12,200
Speaker 4: will need to work through some of the quarterbacking. Obviously,

2783
02:14:12,480 --> 02:14:16,000
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy not being there any longer is something Michigan's

2784
02:14:16,040 --> 02:14:18,520
Speaker 4: going to have to adjust to. Although Davis Warren I

2785
02:14:18,520 --> 02:14:21,240
Speaker 4: thought had some big moments late. Alex Orgi is an

2786
02:14:21,280 --> 02:14:24,720
Speaker 4: elite runner as we saw. But I do think that

2787
02:14:24,920 --> 02:14:28,640
Speaker 4: Texas at noon on Fox on Saturday is going to

2788
02:14:28,760 --> 02:14:32,400
Speaker 4: pose quite a challenge. So I tend to think the

2789
02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:36,240
Speaker 4: Longhorns will be favored in that game, probably should win

2790
02:14:36,320 --> 02:14:39,640
Speaker 4: that game. But they always say, and Rich has probably

2791
02:14:39,640 --> 02:14:42,120
Speaker 4: heard this in every locker room he's ever been in

2792
02:14:42,120 --> 02:14:45,800
Speaker 4: his entire life. The best teams improved the most between

2793
02:14:45,800 --> 02:14:49,520
Speaker 4: Week one and Week two. So we'll see what Michigan has.

2794
02:14:49,680 --> 02:14:52,560
Speaker 4: So I thought Loveland was fantastic last night. He's clearly

2795
02:14:52,680 --> 02:14:56,280
Speaker 4: Michigan's number one receiver. Excellent work in the defensive back

2796
02:14:56,280 --> 02:14:59,120
Speaker 4: to the Bible Johnson. So some things have built on

2797
02:14:59,160 --> 02:15:01,480
Speaker 4: but the mountain is going to be pretty steep there

2798
02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:02,600
Speaker 4: in Week two against Texas.

2799
02:15:02,760 --> 02:15:05,080
Speaker 3: All right, Rich, pardon me.

2800
02:15:05,160 --> 02:15:08,080
Speaker 1: I want to ask this first baseball question of JP

2801
02:15:08,360 --> 02:15:11,600
Speaker 1: because we asked this question, or I asked this question

2802
02:15:11,640 --> 02:15:13,320
Speaker 1: of you a week ago, but I want to add

2803
02:15:13,360 --> 02:15:16,080
Speaker 1: another layer to it. So I asked you what would

2804
02:15:16,160 --> 02:15:19,760
Speaker 1: be more impressive show hey o Tani going fifty to

2805
02:15:19,840 --> 02:15:24,840
Speaker 1: fifty or Aaron Judge having a second sixty home run

2806
02:15:24,920 --> 02:15:26,400
Speaker 1: season over a three year span.

2807
02:15:26,480 --> 02:15:28,400
Speaker 3: But I want to add one more layer to this.

2808
02:15:29,080 --> 02:15:32,280
Speaker 1: So what's more impressive of fifty to fifty for shoe Atani,

2809
02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:36,680
Speaker 1: a second sixty plus home run season for Aaron Judge

2810
02:15:37,360 --> 02:15:40,400
Speaker 1: or the Chicago White Sox losing one hundred and twenty

2811
02:15:40,440 --> 02:15:41,280
Speaker 1: five games.

2812
02:15:41,520 --> 02:15:43,880
Speaker 3: What is most impressive.

2813
02:15:45,040 --> 02:15:51,080
Speaker 4: Utility on that level is difficult Steve to quote unquote achieve,

2814
02:15:51,640 --> 02:15:53,920
Speaker 4: and yet the White Sox are on the precipice of

2815
02:15:53,960 --> 02:15:57,080
Speaker 4: that kind of history. It is, it's pretty remarkable. I

2816
02:15:57,960 --> 02:16:02,640
Speaker 4: I'm out of words a little bit on the White

2817
02:16:02,640 --> 02:16:04,360
Speaker 4: Sox and they're in f to two. They've made a

2818
02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:08,320
Speaker 4: managerial change, They're not going to have Grady Seismore as

2819
02:16:08,320 --> 02:16:10,320
Speaker 4: their guy for the future as well, so there's a

2820
02:16:10,360 --> 02:16:12,640
Speaker 4: lot a lot of questions there about where they're going.

2821
02:16:13,440 --> 02:16:16,800
Speaker 4: It's it is fairly incredible what's happening right now with

2822
02:16:16,840 --> 02:16:20,440
Speaker 4: the White Sox. But I'll say this, Aaron Judge already

2823
02:16:20,440 --> 02:16:22,600
Speaker 4: above fifty. He's got fifty one now and he's still

2824
02:16:22,600 --> 02:16:26,880
Speaker 4: going and o'tani is it's almost a certainty he's get

2825
02:16:26,960 --> 02:16:29,760
Speaker 4: forty five to forty five, and now fifty to fifty

2826
02:16:29,800 --> 02:16:32,480
Speaker 4: is very much within sight. So I'm I'll probably still

2827
02:16:32,520 --> 02:16:35,360
Speaker 4: stay on the positive side of things and saying the

2828
02:16:35,440 --> 02:16:38,959
Speaker 4: Judge getting there twice in three years would be extraordinary.

2829
02:16:39,320 --> 02:16:42,560
Speaker 4: But my goodness, the White Sox, I think they finished

2830
02:16:42,600 --> 02:16:46,959
Speaker 4: their season in Detroit and it'll be interesting to see

2831
02:16:46,959 --> 02:16:50,119
Speaker 4: what kind of quote unquote record they are going for

2832
02:16:50,160 --> 02:16:51,720
Speaker 4: when I see them in Detroit at the very end

2833
02:16:51,720 --> 02:16:52,240
Speaker 4: of the season.

2834
02:16:52,560 --> 02:16:55,800
Speaker 2: I have to ask this question from this angle about

2835
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:58,160
Speaker 2: the White Sox. And I'm sure you're tired of talking

2836
02:16:58,200 --> 02:17:01,039
Speaker 2: about how bad this team is, but bear with me.

2837
02:17:01,760 --> 02:17:05,840
Speaker 2: Does losing at this rate stain players like do you

2838
02:17:05,920 --> 02:17:08,800
Speaker 2: become a little untouchable, whether it be in trade and

2839
02:17:08,840 --> 02:17:12,640
Speaker 2: free agency because of the radio activity you may carry

2840
02:17:12,680 --> 02:17:15,720
Speaker 2: with you from a season like that. I mean also

2841
02:17:16,040 --> 02:17:18,920
Speaker 2: from the other standpoint, like a manager, is this going

2842
02:17:19,000 --> 02:17:22,039
Speaker 2: to be a very difficult team for the White Sox

2843
02:17:22,080 --> 02:17:26,160
Speaker 2: to find? Maybe the manager that ushers in the new

2844
02:17:26,240 --> 02:17:30,320
Speaker 2: era for them, because nobody's gonna want to jump in

2845
02:17:30,360 --> 02:17:33,560
Speaker 2: and roll their sleeves up and try to undo whatever's

2846
02:17:33,600 --> 02:17:34,280
Speaker 2: been done there.

2847
02:17:35,040 --> 02:17:37,320
Speaker 4: Well, i'll answer the second part first. I think that

2848
02:17:37,360 --> 02:17:43,200
Speaker 4: there are managers who already have really good situations in

2849
02:17:43,280 --> 02:17:46,440
Speaker 4: other places that might not want to leave. But I

2850
02:17:46,440 --> 02:17:50,000
Speaker 4: would say that that is not necessarily unique to the situation,

2851
02:17:50,120 --> 02:17:53,119
Speaker 4: and in fact, I think in some ways it makes

2852
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:56,680
Speaker 4: the job even more appealing, because when you're this bad,

2853
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:03,320
Speaker 4: you're basically your tolerance of the length of the rebuild

2854
02:18:03,400 --> 02:18:07,360
Speaker 4: is really the limiting reagent here. If because in some way.

2855
02:18:08,160 --> 02:18:10,680
Speaker 4: Let's say you take the White Sox job this offseason

2856
02:18:10,800 --> 02:18:15,160
Speaker 4: with a three or a four year contract, you're almost

2857
02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:20,040
Speaker 4: instantaneously rich, having one of the greater job securities of

2858
02:18:20,080 --> 02:18:22,400
Speaker 4: any manager in the sport because you're not going to

2859
02:18:22,400 --> 02:18:24,400
Speaker 4: get fired for two to three years. I mean, you're

2860
02:18:24,440 --> 02:18:27,720
Speaker 4: good now, Patrick or fall I just think they had

2861
02:18:27,720 --> 02:18:30,560
Speaker 4: to do something. It had gotten so bad that they

2862
02:18:30,600 --> 02:18:32,000
Speaker 4: just felt like they had to make a change, and

2863
02:18:32,040 --> 02:18:34,360
Speaker 4: that the atmosphere had gotten so poor that they had

2864
02:18:34,360 --> 02:18:37,480
Speaker 4: to make a switch. So I think that for the

2865
02:18:37,600 --> 02:18:40,600
Speaker 4: right manager who either is is really ready for his

2866
02:18:40,800 --> 02:18:43,640
Speaker 4: next go around, maybe at John Gibbons, somebody who's already

2867
02:18:43,640 --> 02:18:48,640
Speaker 4: been a manager elsewhere, to Marlow Hale. There are really credible,

2868
02:18:48,720 --> 02:18:52,360
Speaker 4: good baseball people out there who deserve a chance to manage,

2869
02:18:52,640 --> 02:18:55,400
Speaker 4: and they could have I think years of a years

2870
02:18:55,400 --> 02:18:58,760
Speaker 4: of runway to do the job. I think the other

2871
02:18:58,800 --> 02:19:01,280
Speaker 4: part about the players, it's really interesting question you asked Ridge.

2872
02:19:01,440 --> 02:19:07,600
Speaker 4: I think that the atmosphere is so bad that players

2873
02:19:07,600 --> 02:19:09,879
Speaker 4: that have gone on, like look at Michael Kopak, He's

2874
02:19:09,920 --> 02:19:13,960
Speaker 4: been a very I think, a very very valuable member

2875
02:19:13,959 --> 02:19:17,640
Speaker 4: of the Dodgers since going over there, and I think

2876
02:19:17,680 --> 02:19:19,800
Speaker 4: a large part of it is, oh my gosh, I'm

2877
02:19:19,840 --> 02:19:23,160
Speaker 4: on a team that's winning again. There's positivity here where

2878
02:19:23,200 --> 02:19:28,320
Speaker 4: we're doing good things. You've even seen Tommy fam Get

2879
02:19:28,320 --> 02:19:32,039
Speaker 4: claimed that he got traded and got claimed again thereby

2880
02:19:32,040 --> 02:19:34,560
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Royals, so clearly the Royals were okay

2881
02:19:34,640 --> 02:19:37,440
Speaker 4: with fam having been an alum of the White Sox

2882
02:19:37,480 --> 02:19:40,160
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four. There's no doubt that this is

2883
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:42,320
Speaker 4: going to be a team that we talk about for

2884
02:19:42,360 --> 02:19:45,080
Speaker 4: a long time. I just think it's not going to

2885
02:19:45,080 --> 02:19:47,400
Speaker 4: be quite as damaging as we might think.

2886
02:19:48,720 --> 02:19:53,039
Speaker 1: So if you trace over especially recent baseball history, the

2887
02:19:53,120 --> 02:19:56,400
Speaker 1: team that has the best record in baseball on September

2888
02:19:56,560 --> 02:20:02,200
Speaker 1: first has rarely ended up as we champions. I mean,

2889
02:20:02,200 --> 02:20:04,200
Speaker 1: that's the way it's been in recent years. I mean

2890
02:20:04,240 --> 02:20:07,600
Speaker 1: we've seen upside down playoff runs by a number of

2891
02:20:07,600 --> 02:20:11,080
Speaker 1: teams that were not even expected to get there. The Dodgers,

2892
02:20:11,360 --> 02:20:14,119
Speaker 1: after beating Arizona twice two big wins on the road

2893
02:20:14,160 --> 02:20:16,520
Speaker 1: against the d Backs to extend their lead in the

2894
02:20:16,520 --> 02:20:19,119
Speaker 1: West of six games over the Padres and the d Backs,

2895
02:20:19,560 --> 02:20:22,039
Speaker 1: the Dodgers right now are sitting with the best record

2896
02:20:22,080 --> 02:20:24,480
Speaker 1: in baseball, two games clear of the Phillies.

2897
02:20:24,080 --> 02:20:25,560
Speaker 3: Two and a half over the Brewers.

2898
02:20:26,560 --> 02:20:30,720
Speaker 1: In your opinion right now September one, who is the

2899
02:20:30,720 --> 02:20:31,840
Speaker 1: best team in baseball?

2900
02:20:33,400 --> 02:20:38,520
Speaker 4: That is a great question. I do think that the

2901
02:20:38,560 --> 02:20:42,879
Speaker 4: best team in baseball right now is legitimately the Dodgers,

2902
02:20:44,000 --> 02:20:47,280
Speaker 4: but they do have their flaws. I'm saying in my

2903
02:20:47,440 --> 02:20:50,320
Speaker 4: next breath, I can't remember a time where the best

2904
02:20:50,320 --> 02:20:53,000
Speaker 4: teams have been this slot, and the Dodgers are certainly

2905
02:20:53,040 --> 02:20:55,840
Speaker 4: part of that equation. Look what happened with Kershaw. Kershaw

2906
02:20:55,920 --> 02:20:57,760
Speaker 4: pitches one inning and then he's out because of the

2907
02:20:57,800 --> 02:20:59,680
Speaker 4: big toe issue, and we don't know what he's going

2908
02:20:59,720 --> 02:21:01,920
Speaker 4: to be back on the mound. So they are the

2909
02:21:01,920 --> 02:21:05,360
Speaker 4: best team. The one thing that's keeping me from saying

2910
02:21:05,400 --> 02:21:09,119
Speaker 4: the Phillies is I worry about a little bit about

2911
02:21:09,120 --> 02:21:12,000
Speaker 4: their rotation depth. The Razors Florrez has not been the

2912
02:21:12,040 --> 02:21:14,920
Speaker 4: same in the second half. I worry a little bit

2913
02:21:14,959 --> 02:21:18,000
Speaker 4: about Harper having some elbow and wrist issues to where

2914
02:21:18,040 --> 02:21:21,039
Speaker 4: he's not quite the same guy. Although JT. Real Micho

2915
02:21:21,120 --> 02:21:22,680
Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks has been really big. He's

2916
02:21:22,720 --> 02:21:26,480
Speaker 4: really lifted and elevated that team. I think I look

2917
02:21:26,480 --> 02:21:28,920
Speaker 4: at the American League that the Orioles have been kind

2918
02:21:28,959 --> 02:21:30,800
Speaker 4: of up and down a little bit of late. I

2919
02:21:30,879 --> 02:21:35,320
Speaker 4: think the Yankees, when Judges is playing like this and

2920
02:21:35,360 --> 02:21:38,680
Speaker 4: Soto is playing as he is, they're still a really

2921
02:21:38,720 --> 02:21:42,080
Speaker 4: good lineup, but they're so dependent on those two guys.

2922
02:21:42,080 --> 02:21:44,800
Speaker 4: So I really think the Dodgers are the best of

2923
02:21:44,840 --> 02:21:48,200
Speaker 4: a flawed group right now. And honestly, I might tell

2924
02:21:48,200 --> 02:21:49,959
Speaker 4: you right now, the best team in the American League

2925
02:21:50,040 --> 02:21:53,800
Speaker 4: might well be the Guardians about just with their overall depth,

2926
02:21:53,840 --> 02:21:55,480
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna be able to swing some starting

2927
02:21:55,520 --> 02:21:58,640
Speaker 4: pitches into the bullpen helps them down the stretch, and

2928
02:21:58,760 --> 02:22:01,920
Speaker 4: don't sleep on the I like that team a lot.

2929
02:22:02,200 --> 02:22:04,720
Speaker 4: They might be the kind of team that really ends

2930
02:22:04,800 --> 02:22:08,000
Speaker 4: up ends up having a nice playoff run because of

2931
02:22:08,040 --> 02:22:10,240
Speaker 4: their quality of starting pitching. So it's gonna be a

2932
02:22:10,280 --> 02:22:12,240
Speaker 4: lot of fun to see which team emerges there late

2933
02:22:12,280 --> 02:22:12,920
Speaker 4: in the season.

2934
02:22:13,080 --> 02:22:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

2935
02:22:13,920 --> 02:22:18,280
Speaker 2: And all right, so the Diamondbacks, they kind of snuck

2936
02:22:18,320 --> 02:22:21,000
Speaker 2: into the playoff picture last year and they rode that

2937
02:22:21,040 --> 02:22:23,520
Speaker 2: momentum all the way to the World Series. Could you

2938
02:22:23,640 --> 02:22:27,280
Speaker 2: see a sneaky team making a deep run this year?

2939
02:22:29,760 --> 02:22:33,200
Speaker 4: This is one of those years where don't don't be

2940
02:22:33,240 --> 02:22:36,560
Speaker 4: surprised if you get like a Royals Padres World Series.

2941
02:22:36,959 --> 02:22:39,280
Speaker 4: This is this is the year of the other. And yes,

2942
02:22:39,320 --> 02:22:41,360
Speaker 4: I'm not just saying that because I'm talking to two

2943
02:22:41,400 --> 02:22:44,120
Speaker 4: great San Diego broadcasters year, but I'm I'm of the

2944
02:22:44,200 --> 02:22:46,800
Speaker 4: mind that that any of these teams have to have

2945
02:22:46,840 --> 02:22:50,520
Speaker 4: a fighting chance, because again, so many of the best

2946
02:22:50,560 --> 02:22:56,520
Speaker 4: teams have legitimate flaws. Legitimate flaws. The Dodgers keep winning,

2947
02:22:56,879 --> 02:22:59,879
Speaker 4: but can you win a championship with starters who keep

2948
02:23:00,040 --> 02:23:03,240
Speaker 4: vowing out early? They're just they're hopeful that glass now

2949
02:23:03,360 --> 02:23:07,320
Speaker 4: comes back. Hopeful, but that's not a sure thing at

2950
02:23:07,360 --> 02:23:10,600
Speaker 4: this point in time. So I'm a believer that there

2951
02:23:10,760 --> 02:23:14,320
Speaker 4: is a lot, and I'm serious, a lot of variability

2952
02:23:14,320 --> 02:23:16,080
Speaker 4: with this year, even more so than any other year

2953
02:23:16,080 --> 02:23:18,840
Speaker 4: that I've covered it. So get ready, guys, Get ready

2954
02:23:18,840 --> 02:23:21,120
Speaker 4: for some upset in the first round, get ready for

2955
02:23:21,160 --> 02:23:23,440
Speaker 4: some upsets in the second round. The team that gets

2956
02:23:23,520 --> 02:23:25,959
Speaker 4: hot could win the World Series. And just don't be

2957
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:29,720
Speaker 4: surprised if that. If we're assembling a stage and handing

2958
02:23:29,720 --> 02:23:34,560
Speaker 4: out the Commissioner's Trophy at Petco Park or Kaufman Stadium

2959
02:23:34,959 --> 02:23:38,440
Speaker 4: or or potentially Progressive Field in Cleveland, we could be

2960
02:23:38,480 --> 02:23:40,720
Speaker 4: seeing a place host the World Series that we were

2961
02:23:40,760 --> 02:23:44,240
Speaker 4: not counting on when the season began, and for that reason,

2962
02:23:44,600 --> 02:23:47,879
Speaker 4: among many, I am as excited for this playoff run

2963
02:23:47,920 --> 02:23:50,000
Speaker 4: as I have been for the playoffs in a long time.

2964
02:23:50,280 --> 02:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Well, JP, we will be covering that playoff run with

2965
02:23:53,400 --> 02:23:56,360
Speaker 1: you every step of the way. Can't wait for this

2966

2967
02:23:59,160 --> 02:24:01,440
Speaker 1: the w on your book with the Michigan Wolverines. As

2968
02:24:01,440 --> 02:24:03,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned, we'll see about that matchup coming up, see

2969
02:24:03,520 --> 02:24:05,040
Speaker 1: if they can get over that big hurdle.

2970
02:24:05,320 --> 02:24:05,600
Speaker 3: JP.

2971
02:24:05,800 --> 02:24:08,480
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time is always We'll talk to you

2972
02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:09,240
Speaker 1: next week.

2973
02:24:09,959 --> 02:24:12,440
Speaker 4: All the best, my friends. I always love our conversations.

2974
02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:14,680
Speaker 4: You guys are the greatest. Let's keep it going. My

2975

Speaker 4: best wishes to everybody out there for the beginning of

2976
02:24:16,760 --> 02:24:18,920
Speaker 4: this exciting football season as well.

2977
02:24:19,440 --> 02:24:21,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it is the best time of the year.

2978
02:24:21,360 --> 02:24:24,640
Speaker 1: Great stuff, JP, John Paul Morosi joining us there our

2979
02:24:24,680 --> 02:24:27,760
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio MLB Insider. All right, it's fine. Now,

2980
02:24:27,840 --> 02:24:31,199
Speaker 1: what's trending right now? Monzi is back? What he got Monzie.

2981
02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:33,440
Speaker 7: There's actually a lot going on right now, but let's

2982
02:24:33,440 --> 02:24:35,640
Speaker 7: start with the positive news out of the NFL that

2983
02:24:35,680 --> 02:24:38,200
Speaker 7: the San Francisco forty nine Ers announced that their rookie

2984
02:24:38,280 --> 02:24:40,959
Speaker 7: wide receiver Ricky PEARSLL, who was shot in the chest

2985
02:24:41,160 --> 02:24:45,119
Speaker 7: yesterday during an attempted robbery, has been released from the hospital.

2986
02:24:45,400 --> 02:24:47,840
Speaker 7: So great news there. Now we're going to start in

2987
02:24:47,840 --> 02:24:50,960
Speaker 7: the WNBA. The Sky are losing to the Link sixty

2988
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:54,160
Speaker 7: to fifty one after three quarters. But Angel Reese, let's

2989
02:24:54,160 --> 02:24:57,279
Speaker 7: see what she's got. After three quarters, Angel Reese has

2990
02:24:57,440 --> 02:25:03,040
Speaker 7: fourteen rebounds and thirteen points, officially broken the WNBA record

2991
02:25:03,040 --> 02:25:06,520
Speaker 7: for the most rebounds in a single season. The record

2992
02:25:06,560 --> 02:25:09,000
Speaker 7: was four hundred and four. She's probably at halftime. She

2993
02:25:09,080 --> 02:25:11,360
Speaker 7: was at four h five, so she's probably a like

2994
02:25:11,560 --> 02:25:14,279
Speaker 7: four to twelve now. But Angel Reese has officially broken

2995
02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:17,360
Speaker 7: that record. I don't think anyone's too surprised. Kayln Clark

2996
02:25:17,480 --> 02:25:20,160
Speaker 7: is playing the Fever. Are losing to the Wings right now,

2997
02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:23,240
Speaker 7: twenty nine to twenty eight, about seven minutes to go

2998
02:25:23,320 --> 02:25:26,120
Speaker 7: in the first half. Kaitlin Clark, she's got five points,

2999
02:25:26,160 --> 02:25:28,560
Speaker 7: two rebounds to assist. She has one to four from

3000
02:25:28,680 --> 02:25:32,440
Speaker 7: the three point in line. At the US Open, Taylor

3001
02:25:32,680 --> 02:25:35,520
Speaker 7: Fritz ended up defeating eight seed Casper Rout in the

3002
02:25:35,600 --> 02:25:37,280
Speaker 7: round of sixteen and four sets.

3003
02:25:37,280 --> 02:25:38,519
Speaker 8: He's onto the quarterfinals.

3004
02:25:38,640 --> 02:25:41,400
Speaker 7: Fritz is the first American man to reach three major

3005
02:25:41,480 --> 02:25:44,760
Speaker 7: quarterfinals in a year since Andy Roddick did it back

3006
02:25:44,760 --> 02:25:45,199
Speaker 7: in two.

3007
02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:46,039
Speaker 8: Thousand and seven.

3008
02:25:46,240 --> 02:25:49,280
Speaker 7: Wow, So Taylor Fritz onto the next one right now

3009
02:25:49,320 --> 02:25:51,760
Speaker 7: on the lady's side, Cocoa Goff taking on Emma Navarro.

3010
02:25:51,920 --> 02:25:54,959
Speaker 7: These are American ladies. Coco Goff the third seat. Navarro

3011
02:25:55,120 --> 02:25:57,120
Speaker 7: is the thirteen seed. They just got going in the

3012
02:25:57,120 --> 02:25:59,160
Speaker 7: first set. Navarro is up two games to one. This

3013
02:25:59,200 --> 02:26:02,400
Speaker 7: is also the round of sixteen at the Tour Championship.

3014
02:26:02,400 --> 02:26:04,920
Speaker 7: Scotti Scheffler still in the lead. He is now thirty

3015
02:26:05,000 --> 02:26:08,640
Speaker 7: under bar overall, he is four under through sixteen holes.

3016
02:26:08,720 --> 02:26:11,400
Speaker 8: Colin Morikawa is still five shots back.

3017
02:26:11,520 --> 02:26:11,680
Speaker 4: Now.

3018
02:26:11,720 --> 02:26:14,320
Speaker 7: In Major League Baseball, the Yankees did tie the game,

3019
02:26:14,400 --> 02:26:16,760
Speaker 7: and then the Cardinals said not today. They are now

3020
02:26:16,800 --> 02:26:19,240
Speaker 7: on top twelve to seven, top of the eighth inning.

3021
02:26:19,360 --> 02:26:21,720
Speaker 7: In the Bronx, the Padres and the Rays are tied

3022
02:26:21,760 --> 02:26:24,400
Speaker 7: at three apiece bottom of the seventh. The Astros have

3023
02:26:24,440 --> 02:26:26,720
Speaker 7: taking the lead over the Royals seven to two bottom

3024
02:26:26,760 --> 02:26:27,480
Speaker 7: of the eighth inning.

3025
02:26:27,600 --> 02:26:28,879
Speaker 8: With the Blue Jays beating.

3026
02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:30,880
Speaker 7: The Twins three to one bottom of the eighth inning

3027
02:26:30,920 --> 02:26:33,520
Speaker 7: and the Orioles blanking the Rockies five zero, top of

3028
02:26:33,560 --> 02:26:35,960
Speaker 7: the seventh inning. The games that wrapped up the reds

3029
02:26:36,040 --> 02:26:38,440
Speaker 7: edge the Brewers forty three and eleven innings. The Mets

3030
02:26:38,440 --> 02:26:40,200
Speaker 7: did beat the White Sox two to one, so the

3031
02:26:40,200 --> 02:26:42,320
Speaker 7: Mets are now one and a half games out of

3032
02:26:42,320 --> 02:26:45,880
Speaker 7: the final Waldcart spot in the National League behind the Braves.

3033
02:26:46,160 --> 02:26:48,440
Speaker 7: The Tigers outscored the Red Sox four to one, so

3034
02:26:48,560 --> 02:26:51,200
Speaker 7: the Red Sox now moved four games back of the

3035
02:26:51,200 --> 02:26:54,360
Speaker 7: final Waldcart spot in the AL and the Guardians defeated

3036
02:26:54,360 --> 02:26:56,040
Speaker 7: the Pirates six to one.

3037
02:26:56,560 --> 02:26:58,920
Speaker 1: All right, back to you guys, All right, mindzee Now,

3085
02:29:36,240 --> 02:29:40,960

3156
02:33:20,400 --> 02:33:23,760
Speaker 1: opinions to share with our audience. All Right, we're down

3157
02:33:23,840 --> 02:33:26,400
Speaker 1: to conference championship games. I want to do the conference

3158
02:33:26,480 --> 02:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Championship game winners first. We'll go around the table, and

3159
02:33:29,959 --> 02:33:33,280

Speaker 1: champion prediction.

3161
02:33:34,440 --> 02:33:35,440
Speaker 3: So I'll start here.

3162
02:33:35,920 --> 02:33:39,640
Speaker 1: My AFC Championship game matchup is the Chiefs.

3163
02:33:39,640 --> 02:33:43,120
Speaker 3: And the Bengals. I've already announced that Joe Burrow is

3164
02:33:43,160 --> 02:33:45,480
Speaker 3: my pick to be the NFL's most Valuable.

3165
02:33:45,120 --> 02:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Player this year. I think Joe is going to have

3166
02:33:47,240 --> 02:33:51,360
Speaker 1: a huge comeback season, but he's not going to get

3167
02:33:51,360 --> 02:33:53,240
Speaker 1: it done against the Chiefs. Wow.

3168
02:33:53,760 --> 02:33:58,440
Speaker 3: The Chiefs will be in the Super Bowl again. Chiefs win.

3169
02:33:58,720 --> 02:33:59,920
Speaker 3: On the AFC side.

3170
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:02,560
Speaker 1: As far as the NFC side, we got the forty

3171
02:34:02,680 --> 02:34:05,280
Speaker 1: nine ers and we got the Cowboys. Are we going

3172
02:34:05,360 --> 02:34:07,840
Speaker 1: to get a rematch of last year's Super Bowl?

3173
02:34:09,440 --> 02:34:09,600
Speaker 4: No?

3174
02:34:09,959 --> 02:34:17,760
Speaker 1: Wow? The Dallas Cowboys after twenty nine years, are going

3175
02:34:17,840 --> 02:34:18,640
Speaker 1: to make it.

3176
02:34:19,040 --> 02:34:20,640
Speaker 3: Back to the Super Bowl.

3177
02:34:20,920 --> 02:34:26,400
Speaker 1: So my super Bowl is the Chiefs versus the Cowboys.

3178
02:34:26,520 --> 02:34:28,600
Speaker 3: Okay, Rich, all right?

3179
02:34:28,800 --> 02:34:34,200
Speaker 2: So my conference championship game, Bengals at Chiefs, that is

3180
02:34:34,240 --> 02:34:36,760
Speaker 2: a rematch that is going to be a fun watch.

3181
02:34:37,080 --> 02:34:42,280
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs na nauseatingly for certain fans. They're going

3182
02:34:42,280 --> 02:34:44,600
Speaker 2: to advance to their next Super Bowl.

3183
02:34:44,640 --> 02:34:44,920
Speaker 4: Okay.

3184
02:34:45,600 --> 02:34:51,360
Speaker 2: My NFC Championship game, the Rams in Detroit facing the Lions,

3185
02:34:51,600 --> 02:34:55,600
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford back in his old stomping grounds, Jared Goff

3186
02:34:55,760 --> 02:34:59,959
Speaker 2: staring across the sideline at his old team, a player

3187
02:35:00,080 --> 02:35:05,480
Speaker 2: off rematch, the Lions win. So my super Bowl is

3188
02:35:05,600 --> 02:35:07,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs Lions, Chiefs Lions super Bowl.

3189
02:35:07,879 --> 02:35:11,560
Speaker 6: Bo I think last week I said it was the

3190
02:35:11,640 --> 02:35:15,000
Speaker 6: Chiefs on the road in Buffalo in the AFC title game.

3191
02:35:15,400 --> 02:35:17,880
Speaker 3: Is that what I'm going back to it? That's what

3192
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:20,879
Speaker 3: I said. Bow, your matchup.

3193
02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:24,360
Speaker 1: Was Chiefs against the Bengals. Chiefs Bengals.

3194
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:27,959
Speaker 6: Weird. That makes no sense. On the paper in here,

3195
02:35:28,040 --> 02:35:30,840
Speaker 6: I said the Bills. I had a head injury. When

3196
02:35:30,840 --> 02:35:33,879
Speaker 6: I wrote that down, I forgot that. I'm not picking

3197
02:35:33,920 --> 02:35:36,360
Speaker 6: against Patrick Mahomes. If I don't have to, like, if

3198
02:35:36,360 --> 02:35:37,960
Speaker 6: I'm not being held at gunpoint, I'm not going to

3199
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:39,120
Speaker 6: do it. So the Chiefs are going to go to

3200
02:35:39,120 --> 02:35:39,720
Speaker 6: the super Bowl?

3201
02:35:40,080 --> 02:35:42,600
Speaker 1: Okay? On the AC side, do you want me to

3202
02:35:42,720 --> 02:35:43,280
Speaker 1: chase Ken?

3203
02:35:43,920 --> 02:35:47,879
Speaker 3: It's fine. Out of the NFC.

3204
02:35:48,920 --> 02:35:51,000
Speaker 6: The Lions are going to advance to the super Bowl.

3205
02:35:51,040 --> 02:35:52,240
Speaker 6: So we're gonna have the Chiefs and the Lions and

3206
02:35:52,280 --> 02:35:52,760
Speaker 6: the super Bowl.

3207
02:35:52,800 --> 02:35:55,680
Speaker 1: So he's got the Lions and the Chiefs. Okay, which

3208
02:35:55,720 --> 02:35:57,680
Speaker 1: is the same thing you ever y, That's exactly right,

3209
02:35:57,720 --> 02:35:58,600
Speaker 1: all right, Chris?

3210
02:35:58,640 --> 02:35:59,959
Speaker 3: What is your Super Bowl match up?

3211
02:36:00,160 --> 02:36:02,160
Speaker 5: My sheet in here also has the Chiefs, but my

3212
02:36:02,360 --> 02:36:05,080
Speaker 5: AFC matchup was, and I checked on the sheet in

3213
02:36:05,120 --> 02:36:08,959
Speaker 5: there is Bills and Jaguars. Seems we have a Florida

3214
02:36:09,040 --> 02:36:12,960
Speaker 5: team playing in the deep and I have the Jaguars

3215
02:36:12,959 --> 02:36:18,080
Speaker 5: I believe as a wild card team. Yes, yeah, Lawrence

3216
02:36:18,200 --> 02:36:22,360
Speaker 5: is playing in the frigid tundra of upstate New York.

3217
02:36:23,240 --> 02:36:29,000
Speaker 5: And everything about that, and yet and yet.

3218
02:36:29,120 --> 02:36:30,480
Speaker 3: Somehow the Chiefs still win.

3219
02:36:32,040 --> 02:36:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they cash in the money in the bank briefcase. Yeah, no, somehow, somehow,

3220
02:36:37,240 --> 02:36:41,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence shows us exactly maybe not the best start

3221
02:36:41,080 --> 02:36:42,720
Speaker 1: for the season for him, but he's gonna show us

3222
02:36:42,760 --> 02:36:46,120
Speaker 1: why he was the first overall pick. And the Jaguars

3223
02:36:46,120 --> 02:36:51,880
Speaker 1: will advance to the first Super Bowl in franchise history. Wow.

3224
02:36:52,240 --> 02:36:53,600
Speaker 3: And who will they be facing.

3225
02:36:54,120 --> 02:36:56,640
Speaker 1: They will also be facing for the first time in

3226
02:36:56,800 --> 02:36:59,640
Speaker 1: franchise history, one of the most dominant teams of the

3227
02:36:59,760 --> 02:37:04,320
Speaker 1: year once again, the Detroit Lions. So after that, the

3228
02:37:04,400 --> 02:37:08,880
Speaker 1: Lions will be going in eighteen and one. And now, well,

3229
02:37:08,879 --> 02:37:11,240
Speaker 1: oh no, no, seventeen and one. They could be eighteen

3230
02:37:11,280 --> 02:37:12,920
Speaker 1: and one if they well know, if they win the

3231
02:37:12,920 --> 02:37:15,520
Speaker 1: conference championship game, they'll there will be sixteen and one

3232
02:37:15,560 --> 02:37:17,720
Speaker 1: and then two playoff wins to get to the super Bowl.

3233
02:37:17,800 --> 02:37:19,720
Speaker 1: So you eighteen and one, that's right, That's that's right.

3234
02:37:19,760 --> 02:37:21,680
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting we have added the game. So yeah, no,

3235
