1 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: What is up straight Firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight 3 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: Fire for Thursday, ex September twenty sixth Oh, you're gonna 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: love today's guest. He is an NFL gambling machine from 5 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: Right Angle Sports, Adam Chernoff. He came on this summer 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: and touted the praise of the Carolina Panthers, and he 7 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: feels a little silly, but he got a little redemption 8 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 2: now that Hindy Dalton's back in the line. If you're 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: gonna love it, we go through every single game that 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: matters in NFL Week three. I think you're gonna love it. 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: But but first, I gotta quickly talk about this story 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 2: unfolding at UNLV. Now, I loved UNLV basketball in the 13 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: early nineties, maybe it was late eighties, whatever it was, 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: with the Larry Johnson, Stacy Agwin, Greg Anthony, all those guys. 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever talked to UNLV football on 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: this podcast. They've never warranted it. We're just talking about 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: a moribund program that's never done anything. Okay, So all 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: of a sudden, UNLV's three, and oh it's like, whoa, 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: what's happening. UNLV's cracked the top twenty five. They have 20 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: a quarterback by the name of Matthew Sluka. Sluka, Yeah, 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: who is a grad transfer from Holy Cross, and he 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: has been the impetus behind this three and oh start. 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: I mean UNLV football. Honestly, you never hear anything about them, 24 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they're three, and oh they're 25 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: knocking off the big boys. Well, I don't know, Kansas 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: is not really a big boy. And they take down 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: Houston in the opener and it's like, oh, maybe they've 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: got something. Maybe UNLV's decent. Well, Sluka quit the team 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: this week and his reasoning now, listen, he's not a 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: great passer. He's completing forty three percent of his passes, 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: but six touchdowns and he leads the team in rushing 32 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: with two hundred fifty three yards on the ground. They've 33 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: got a good thing going, right, Like maybe the stadium 34 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: was gonna be packed for their next game because all 35 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: of a sudden, nlv's good. They are at home against 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: Fresno State this weekend. Big game, right' so on FS one. 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 2: Then they got Syracuse You trusting like, oh my gosh, dude, 38 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: does UNLV have something here. Could they be I don't know, 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: going to a bowl game that matters and Sluka quit 40 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,839 Speaker 2: the team. Now this is where it gets fascinating. According 41 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: to Sluka, he claims that he was promised one hundred 42 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: thousand dollars in an nil payment from one of the 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: assistant coaches. Didn't name the coach, but everybody has said 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: that the guy who recruited him was the offensive coordinator whatever, 45 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: and they just didn't pay him the money. So, according 46 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: to NCAA rules, you're allowed to take a red shirt 47 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 2: season before you if you play less than four games. 48 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: So there are three and zero. So what does he 49 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: do before the fourth game? Hey, you guys aren't gonna 50 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: pay me, Well, I'm out the quarterback of a top 51 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. This does not happen. I love this story 52 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: so much, guys. So UNLV, of course, has chimed in 53 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: and their response is, Matthew sluca's representative made financials demands 54 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: upon the university, and it's nil collective to continue playing. 55 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: U and V Athletics interpreted these demands as a violation 56 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: of pay for play as well as Nevada state law. 57 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: UNLV does not engage in such activity, nor does it 58 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: respond to implied threats. Okay, well, here's the thing. Sluka, 59 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: who did not have an agent last year now has won. 60 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: Any quarterback in college and Football Division one probably should 61 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: have an agent for nil. So his agent says, after 62 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: the one hundred thousand wasn't paid, he went to them 63 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: and said, hey, all right, how about let's just do 64 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: ten thousand a month over the next five months, and 65 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: U and LV he said nope. And then how about 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: five thousand, and he said nope. The agent claims that 67 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: the head coach said, we'll give you three thousand dollars 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: a month, and Lucas said, dude, you guys told me 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand, and now it's down to zero and 70 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: maybe three thousand. I'm out of here. And here's my thing. 71 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it. I know a 72 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: lot of people are saying, just sack up and play, 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: you're part of the team. No, no, no, no, no, 74 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: that's not how college football works. Okay, you have an opportunity. 75 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: This guy. Let's be real, this guy, Sluka, he is 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: not going to be an NFL quarterback. 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Okay, we know that. 78 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: He's got a small window here in college football to 79 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: make some money. And I mean one hundred thousand dollars 80 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: for a college football quarterback for one season, Like doesn't 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 2: get much better than that. And he wanted to get 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: paid and he's not getting paid. So I'm out of here, 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: and he still has his eligibility. Now here's the thing. 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: I started to look into this guy. He had an 85 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: okay high school career, then he went to prep school 86 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: for a year to kind of get bigger, faster, stronger, right, 87 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: and then he goes to Holy Cross for four years. 88 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 2: So if you're guessing his age by the way you 89 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: ANDL he scrubbed his bio off the site so you 90 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: can't find his age. But it appears as if you know, 91 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: you graduate high school at eight team, then you go 92 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: to prep in your nineteen four years of college, you're 93 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: now twenty three. UNLV, now you're twenty four. He could 94 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: be like a twenty five year old quarterback who goes 95 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: into a program and gives them a chance maybe to 96 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 2: deliver and get to a bowl game. Who knows. Maybe 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: he goes and gets a team into the playoff. I 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: don't know, But the bottom line is he is standing 99 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: on principle. You said you were gonna pay me and 100 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: you didn't. And I ask you guys out there, if 101 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: you have a handshake deal with somebody and they don't 102 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: come through on the deal, what do you do? Now? Obviously, 103 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: the answer is why didn't he get it written? Yeah? Okay, 104 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: his agent claims because he was getting his degree from 105 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: Holy Cross he could not sign an nil deal with 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: another university. Okay, Well why didn't he get it when 107 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: he went to UNLV in August? Well, I guess at 108 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: that point they had him right and they didn't need 109 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: to fork over the one hundred thousand. So why do 110 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: he go to practice? I don't know, is what we're 111 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: talking about. It maybe a twenty three, twenty four year 112 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: old kid here who didn't get it in writing, which 113 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: was a mistake on his part. Lesson learned, and now 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: he's making what's the best decision for him. I don't 115 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: have a problem with that. All these people outrage oled 116 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 2: the system college football is broken, Well, obviously it's broken. 117 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 2: It's been broken for years. You don't think the old 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: system was totally busted. I mean, I'm kind of obsessed 119 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: with the story, and I'm rooting for the kid. You 120 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: guys know, I always root for the underdog. I hope 121 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: this guy gets paid. Here's the kicker when he went 122 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: to UNLV this week and said, hey, collective, this guy 123 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: promised me one hundred thousand. You're telling me the boosters 124 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: who have to be through the roof that they're relevant 125 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: and in the top twentyelves, nobody could say, hey, man, 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: let's get let's get him that. I let's sign the 127 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: nil deal. Let's get him one hundred thousand. You're telling 128 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 2: me nobody decided to step up and do that. That's befuddling. 129 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know how the backup is. 130 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: I don't know much about UNOV football, but this story 131 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: is unbelievably awesome. And yeah, part of me wants UNOV 132 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: to go five and nine or whatever. However many games 133 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: they play not make a bowl and regret not doing 134 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: the deal with this kid. These schools they don't want 135 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 2: to pay up. But guess what, that's how it works. Now, 136 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: that's the system. If you're good, you get paid. That's 137 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: how it works. And I don't know. I'm rooting for 138 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: the kid and is a big story in college football. 139 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: It's funny this has taken precedence, this story over what 140 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: should be a massive game between Georgia and Alabama Saturday 141 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: afternoon from Tuscaloose. Obviously, Alabama on home down to underdog 142 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: should be a really good game, but nobody's talking about 143 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,119 Speaker 2: that because of what's going on at UNLV. Welcome, ladies 144 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: and gentlemen to college football in twenty twenty four.

But you're 167 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: good man, You're on top of this. 168 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: Now you're pressing it a little bit too far, but 169 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: I'll let you go with it for this time, and 170 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: next time we might have to dial it back a 171 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: little bit. 172 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: My favorite part is where on Adam's podcast, where you 173 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: know he's with Right Angle Sports and he does his breakdown, 174 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: He'll say another service or it was given out on 175 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: a podcast or a website, and for half a second, 176 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: I'm like, what website? What podcast? 177 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: You know? 178 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: I think about it briefly, and then I'm like, gad 179 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: probably doesn't matter if it wasn't his move, it's not 180 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: something I care about. But by the way, do you 181 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: get asked a lot about other services besides Right Angle? 182 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Well? I do, But I don't know if that comment's 183 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: fair because there's people who are betting a lot more 184 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: than us, with a lot more influence than us, But 185 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: we certainly have an impact. But it's a reality that 186 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: there's probably I would say, like six or seven groups, 187 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: a few of them are public, will have an impact 188 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and then there's a few more 189 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: later in the week that stay hid and did have 190 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: a direct influence too. So it's a two way street. 191 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: But I get asked a lot, and I don't feel 192 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: it's my place to tell what other people are willing 193 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: to bet, because I wouldn't expect the same from them. 194 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: But in terms of talking about why stuff moves, it 195 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: matters every week. 196 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, certainly, And this week's a crazy week 197 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: because it's weird. Adham, Well, when I heard you start 198 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: to touch on games, you kind of like, you know, 199 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: i went five to zero in the contest last week, 200 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: so I'm very excited. I'm in deep, you know, after 201 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: you have a grow hot week, you're like, all right, 202 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 2: all right, let me break down everything. And I feel 203 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: like I've already got a bunch of games I like, 204 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 2: which scares me at them. And then I start hearing 205 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: you talk and I'm like, oh, Adam likes them as well. 206 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: Are you starting to rub off on me? Before we 207 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: get to the Sunday state, Let's start with Thursday. Cowboys Giants. 208 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: Everybody knows the numbers. Cowboys have owned the Giants twelve straight. 209 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Dak dominates them. Cowboys off a loss, Giants off a win. 210 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: This felt like a layup for Dallas. Do you think 211 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: that plays out that way on the field. 212 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: I do, I was. I mean, I'm going to say 213 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: right now, I think what we saw on Monday in 214 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: this market as it opened up was a very good 215 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: fake by somebody who wanted to bet Dallas and was 216 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: driving the price down so they could get Dallas at 217 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: a better number. Because this was as high as seven 218 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: last week on the look ahead markets, And I mean 219 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: this got down to Dallas minus four, which was pretty 220 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: pretty incredible to see how low it got. But now 221 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: we're back up to a price that makes a lot 222 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: more sense. A little bit difficult to say now, but 223 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: I agree that Dallas has their way. I mean, they 224 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: have to. This is I don't want to say season 225 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: on the line, but after two bad losses, you're in 226 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: this spot against the team you dominated twice last year, 227 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: and the Giants defensively looked a lot better against Cleveland, 228 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: but they blitzed a ton and that's something you can't 229 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: do against Dak Prescott. It works against the Brown z 230 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: oh line that's down three guys in game and is 231 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: a wreck to begin with. That's not going to work 232 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: against Dak Prescott, who's elite when facing the blitz and 233 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: when facing pressure. So I think Dallas has their way 234 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: with the secondary and then if Daniel Jones against this 235 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: pass rush for Dallas can hold up, great, But I 236 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: don't know if that's the case. So I do think 237 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: Dallas does well here. 238 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: Any theories on why the Dallas defense has fallen off 239 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: a cliff, Dan Quinn leaves, I don't think there was 240 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: that much other movement on the defensive side of the ball. 241 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: Maybe I think Gilmore's gone and Bland is injured. But 242 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: how they went from like, you know, an elite unit 243 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: last year at least in many games to Holy col 244 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: the last two weeks they've been torn apart. 245 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: Well, they weren't good against the run last year and 246 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: they're not good against the run this year, So I 247 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: think you nailed it. There were no additions and that's 248 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: the problem. They needed to add guys up front to 249 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: have a chance, and they didn't add anybody, and now 250 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: they're seeing the effects of that. I think back to 251 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: the Green Bay game. They couldn't stop the run and 252 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: were embarrassed in the playoffs. That's what's happened in the 253 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: last two weeks. I mean, Baltimore puts up two fifty 254 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: for the banged up offensive line. That's an indictment of 255 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: how bad this Cowboys defense is. But like the Giant's 256 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: going to do that with Singletary, I don't think so. 257 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, all right, let's get to Sunday. You're 258 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: a Jets fan. I don't know how that. I guess 259 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: you could tell that story if you want, But you're 260 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: a Jets fan. I'm a big Jets guy. They are 261 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 2: in a great spot. Last year they went to Denver 262 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 2: with Zach Wilson, I believe, and handled Denver. They covered 263 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: the spread by a mile because of a late defensive touchdown. 264 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: But it feels like they're the side again. I was 265 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: surprised that they were six and a half against the Patriots. 266 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 2: You nailed that. I had Patriots just because I'm a 267 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: Jets doubter and pessimist. This line does feel about right 268 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: to me. But are the Patriots viewed as better than 269 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 2: the Broncos given that they were only six and a 270 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: half and this is seven to seven and a half. 271 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's viewed as better. I think 272 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: this is now understanding what the Jets are. In the offseason, 273 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: there was the big question of what is Aaron Rodgers 274 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: and what are we going to get? On your show 275 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: and on the Herd, I said, you're going to get 276 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: a great Aaron Rodgers And maybe verdict is still out 277 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: on that. We'll see, but hard to dealt with what 278 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: we saw on Thursday Night Football. I think the number 279 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: is right. I agree with you when this was a 280 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: touch higher earlier in the week, I kind of leaned 281 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: towards Denver at eight and eight and a half only 282 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: because they have a defense. I think that is underrated. 283 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: And the thing with the Jets that we're going to 284 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: see how it plays out. They play so slow, like glacial, 285 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: and they're running the play clock down and so when 286 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: you're asking a team that plays that way to cover 287 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: more than the touchdown in the game with a short 288 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: total of thirty nine and a half, you need everything 289 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: to go right all game to get outside of that margin, 290 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: and I feel like the Thursday night game was an 291 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,359 Speaker 1: example of everything going right with zero mistakes and zero issues. 292 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: Do they play to that level again, I'm not so sure. 293 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: Against a pretty good Broncos defense here, I think it's right, 294 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: but I would slightly lean towards the Broncos here at 295 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: seven and a half. 296 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: Well, I you say pretty good Broncos d I mean 297 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker embarrassed them in the opener. Last week. Tampa 298 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: had pretty much nothing, although Bucky Irving looked like an 299 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: All Pro in the few carries he got. I had 300 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: to grab in fantasy. But is this run defense good? 301 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: This is gonna this feels like Briece Allen fifteen carries, 302 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: Raylan Allen, sorry, Breece Hall, and then Braylan Allen maybe 303 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: fifteen carries in the Jets run for like buck ninety 304 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: five and win handily. 305 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Well, let's see, it'd be great for Jets fans if 306 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: that comes through. You're likely without Morgan Moses on the 307 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: right side of the old line. It's probably going to 308 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: be a Fashanu game. Breisee Hall hasn't had much push 309 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: up the middle yet this season. Allen's been a good 310 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of counter punch. Let's see if it works. But again, though, like, 311 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: if that's the case and you're saying that's going to happen, 312 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: do you want to be backing a team that's going 313 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: to go run heavy to slow things down even more 314 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: to cover this big of a number. Maybe, but it's 315 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: not like you're backing a very explosive, fast moving Jets 316 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: offense here to cover a big number. 317 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: Have you adjusted the Jets defense at all since that 318 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: forty nine ers game? They showed well against the Titans 319 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: and Patriots, short week rookie coach, mediocre quarterback. I don't know, 320 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: have you? I mean, they couldn't do anything to stop 321 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: the Niners defensively. Injuries too, I don't. I haven't seen 322 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: the latest on Moseley. Obviously, Jermaine Johnson's out, No hasan Reddick, 323 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: But I don't know Jets defense any thoughts. 324 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: A lot of the forty nine Ers game was ski 325 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: team on the offensive line in that run game for 326 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: what the forty nine Ers did, which is going to 327 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: be an exception for teams that they face. With that said, 328 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: though you nailed it now, No, Reddick, it seems like 329 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: that ship has sailed. No Johnson, like, the pass rush 330 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: is a problem, and they're going like they got very 331 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: blitz specific on the Thursday night game against the Pats, 332 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: and almost every blitz worked. We saw one or two 333 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: that were blocked well and then they were exposed in coverage. 334 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: They're going to have to be very selective with that. That, 335 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: to me is the big worry with the defense is 336 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: like how can they manufacture a pass rush? So it's 337 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: less optimism in my eyes for the defense than preseason, 338 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: but it's still a very very good defense. 339 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: Let's get to Cincinnati Carolina, so's I want to know 340 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: how you handle these aspects gambling. So after the game, 341 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: after the Bengals lose to Washington, Burrow there's video of 342 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: him going into a private meeting, not going to the 343 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: locker room with the head coach and the defensive coordinator, 344 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 2: and Burrow looked kind of ticked off in the press 345 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: after the game, And I just how does that factor in, 346 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: if at all, to your handicap. I mean, everybody has 347 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 2: the information. We know Panthers coming off a win, Bengals 348 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: off a loss season on the line at zero to three, 349 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: but like, how does that change anything for you? That 350 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 2: there seems to be some dissension among the ranks. 351 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: That one's a hard one to gauge. Often, I'd love 352 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: to look for the little subjective cues and things like 353 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: that that you hear and you see. I don't know 354 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: in this case what to do with it. I thought 355 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: the Bengals offense couldn't have played much better honestly against Washington. 356 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: A few red zone opportunities and then field goals, not touchdowns. 357 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: That's a sector, that's the difference. But stats wise, down 358 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: to down they were dominant. They just have a defense 359 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: that cannot stop anybody, And so I'm more worried about 360 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: the defense than i am with the offense. I think 361 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: in this game, the offense is going to look even 362 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: better than it did last week because the Panthers defense 363 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: was hidden for how bad it was against the Raiders. 364 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: And now you have a Bengals offense that has T 365 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: Higgins probably close or to one hundred percent, that has 366 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: chased with no more excuses, that has emergence of other 367 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: skill guys in the slot as well at tight end. 368 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: So this is the game to me where you get 369 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: an even better Bengals offensive performance. Question is can the 370 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: defense stop anybody? 371 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah? And I was gonna ask about the defense. 372 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: Oh, it's bad. 373 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 2: If you look on Pro Football Focus, like half their 374 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: defense is orange, meaning really grading out horribly. And this 375 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: comes to team building, Adam, and I know you're not 376 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: like a front office guy maybe yet, but it seems 377 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: like this model of hey, pay your quarterback everything, pay 378 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: your left tackle, pay an edge rusher and a wide receiver, 379 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 2: and your top heavy, it seems like that's not really working. 380 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: That's where the Bengals appear to be headed. 381 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: The problem with Cincinnati is they can't stop the run 382 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: up front. They let Dj Reader go to Detroit. He 383 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: was the one guy holding down the d line. Now 384 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: he's gone, and you have Hill and Rankins behind them, 385 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: both injured. Everybody can get anything that they want on 386 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: the ground in the middle against this Bengals offense, and 387 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: it's putting the secondary, which is going through a bit 388 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: of turnover as well, into some tough spots and there's 389 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: not really anything that the Bengals can do until they 390 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: get guys back. And we're starting to see like Ana 391 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: Roumo looks great when he faces the Chiefs, but on 392 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: a week to week basis that shine that he had 393 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: about all these second half adjustments. It's not really there 394 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 1: anymore because the personnel is lacking and he's dealing with 395 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: some changes. They're not stopping anybody right now, and that's 396 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: a big worry for sure. I don't know what to 397 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: think of this defense other than I mean, it's bottom 398 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: five in the league for sure. 399 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Can we play up on Andy Dalton revenge angle? 400 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 2: Or does that not apply since he's been gone for 401 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 2: a few years. 402 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it has been a while. You're right, I don't know. 403 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: He's in a tough spot this week. Is there's now 404 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: offensive line injuries accumulating. Adams dealin went on ir and 405 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: so the Panthers came out of that Raiders game thankfully 406 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: with the win. I needed that one for the sake 407 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: of any credibility I have left on that future stance 408 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: that I took on them. But this is a tough 409 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: spot for them with all the injuries. 410 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,959 Speaker 2: Speaking of injuries, the LA Rams pulled off a lucky 411 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 2: win over the Niners. I mean, down ten with like 412 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 2: six minutes left, come on, and now they go to Chicago. 413 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: This was the first game I bet Sunday. I think 414 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 2: it was Sunday night or Monday morning, but it was 415 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 2: at two, two and a half. Now it's at three, 416 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: and people are stunned that the Bears are favored. Can 417 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 2: you just articulate that, why? I don't think a lot 418 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: of people kind of grasp it. You bet the Bears? 419 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: I hope, yes, yes, yes, good bet? 420 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: Yes. Well, a couple things. So one, anytime, anytime you 421 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: got a game like that, the Rams were sub three 422 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: percent win probability in the fourth quarter, they come back 423 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: and they win. They're outgained by the forty nine ers 424 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: per play, the stat sheets one sided. It's referred to 425 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: as a what I call misleading victory or misleading win. 426 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: Now you see the look aheadline, which on this game 427 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: was Bears minus four. It reopened, as you mentioned, Bears 428 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: minus two. So you have the Rams misleading win plus 429 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: a big adjustment down in the market through a key number. 430 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: And it's just an easy spot to look for and 431 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: be like, what reasons do I have to back? In 432 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: this case Chicago the team that the line has moved against. 433 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: And in my opinion, in that Indianapolis game, we saw 434 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: another step forward for the offense. Caleb Williams if you 435 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: remove the pre halftime Hail Mary had three hundred and 436 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: fifteen yards passing. He had way too many pass attempts, 437 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: something that the Bears postgame said they're going to rectify 438 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: and get rash On Johnson more involved this week with 439 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: the run game, which would stabilize things a little bit. 440 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: But it's a Bears offense that it likely gets Keenan 441 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: Allen back, So that's another plus for the offense that 442 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: is improving and a Bears defense that's been really good 443 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: for all three weeks so far that faces a Rams 444 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: team that's not only being upgraded a lot of a 445 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: misleading win, but is dealing with injuries all over the 446 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: place on offense, and now they have to be the 447 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: team coming up with the encore to their big offensive 448 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: shift last week, going from a ton of three wide 449 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: receivers to more than forty percent of the time using 450 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: too tight end. So now that kind of curveball is 451 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: on film. What do they do this week going on 452 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: the road outside to play on grass against the Bears. 453 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: I think it just there's a number of different things 454 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: here to point to the Bears at three a little 455 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: bit tougher, but I still like it. Fox Sports Radio 456 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: has the best sports talk lineup in the nation, catch 457 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: all of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and 458 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. 459 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: I'm not as bullish on the RAMS, but that comeback 460 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: was like every literally ridiculous away special teams, you name it. 461 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 2: I am just curious. What have you seen from Caleb 462 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: Williams in the first three weeks? Anything positive? Because if 463 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: you just look at Caleb, Nicks and Daniels, I mean, 464 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear Williams's QB three out of those, 465 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: but it's early. I'm not overreacting. 466 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: Oh wow. We saw Nis have his breakout game against 467 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers defense that was riddled with injuries that is 468 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: much worse than they actually seem. And look, we had 469 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels in his breakout game against the Bengals defense 470 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,719 Speaker 1: that we just said bad things about for two minutes. 471 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: And we've seen Caleb Williams have to go into Houston 472 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: to play Demico Ryans and a loaded Texans defense. We 473 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: saw him last week against the Colts have a really 474 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: good game numbers wise, that is getting kind of ignored 475 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: and swept under the rug when he goes for three 476 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: sixty three total. So it's been incremental progress Week one 477 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: Week two, Week three, and that Titans defense is nothing 478 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: to sneeze at either. They're very good upfront, and that's 479 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: a tough debut spot as well. So he's a young 480 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: quarterback coming into an offense that's had some injury issues, 481 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: some O line issues up front, that has got better 482 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: week after week after week, and now has the potential 483 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: against a bottom thirty second ranked Rams defense in yards 484 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: per played, allowed to do something at home. So this 485 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: is the week where he's got to step up and 486 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: show it, and I think you will. 487 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 2: So we looked at Giants Cowboys. You said the look 488 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 2: ahead was seven. Cowboys lose, reopens at four, four and 489 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: a half. So now Bears, you just said on the 490 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: look ahead, we're four, they lose and it reopens it 491 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: two and a half. What's the psychology behind that? Is 492 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: that the book saying, guess what, nobody's going to want 493 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 2: to bet the team that just lost. They're facing an 494 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: inferior team. I guess the Rams are inferior. Maybe that's 495 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 2: coming off a win, the public's going to want to 496 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: bet them. Let me lower, and the value is on 497 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: the team coming off a loss. Is that accurate or not? 498 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: The last part isn't necessarily accurate. It's more of a readjustment, 499 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: so it doesn't guarantee that there's value on the other side. 500 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: I think that's something that goes into handicapping and saying 501 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: why has it moved to where it is? What it 502 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: is a reflection of if we just kind of go 503 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: timeline wise. The look ahead prices come out Wednesday, the 504 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: week prior, so today we have lines for week five 505 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: that come out. Obviously, the games for week four are 506 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: not played till Thursday and Sunday, so this is a 507 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: snapshot of where the teams are now, and then what 508 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: happens is a culmination of injuries, how teams were bet 509 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: late in week leading up to kickoff, the results in 510 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: the game, as well as any potential changes. And when 511 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: that's early in the season weeks one, two, three, four, 512 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: books are trying to figure out where do we get 513 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: to these teams rating wise to come up with a 514 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: better number, and as the season goes on the adjustments 515 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: become less and less. But a big part of handicapping 516 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: the NFL, which is kind of a league of opposites 517 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: in a way where you're trying to figure out what's 518 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: real and what's not, and you see a lot of 519 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: teams look bad one week and look completely different the 520 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: next week. It's a lot of trying to figure out 521 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: has this gone too far or should it go further? 522 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: And typically in these spots, an easy way to gauge 523 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: that initially to start the conversation is to look ahead 524 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: to the reopen and how it's being bad. 525 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 2: So does that apply to Tampa Philly? Because I'm looking 526 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: at Tampa a lot of injuries on both sides, so 527 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: I haven't fired yet, but I am curious if if 528 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 2: you think that logic strategy applies to Tampa and Philly. 529 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: Let's talk through it. So it was pick them on 530 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: the look ahead. It's now Eagles minus two and a half. 531 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: And so the Eagles beat the Saints, who were a 532 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: team that everybody thought was playoff in Super Bowl bound 533 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: through two weeks, right, and they come out looking really 534 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: good in that the Eagles arguably should have won by 535 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: a lot more than three points when you look how 536 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: one side of the game was on a play by 537 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: play in box score basis. So there's an upgrade absolutely 538 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: for Philly. And then Tampa Bay loses to Denver and Bonix, 539 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: who everybody wanted to write off after two weeks and 540 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: week three so it's an inevitable downgrade for them. So 541 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: you have kind of two contrasting situations pushing that line up. 542 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: Now do we get to kind of reevaluating that the 543 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: Eagles have a week five by and so you think 544 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: about Aj Brown with a hamstring injury, DeVante Smith is 545 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: dealing with a concussion, he's in the protocol. You have 546 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: Lane Johnson, a key offensive lineman banged up as well, Like, 547 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: what is the urgency for Philly to rush those guys 548 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: back in this scenario? I would think it's it's not 549 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: very high because you have the extra week to get 550 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: everyone rested and right coming off of a big win, 551 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: so I kind of lean towards those guys not playing 552 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: in this game. The question I have though, is Tampa Bay. 553 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: Like you have Vitavera Kalaia Kansi, you have Antoine Winfield, 554 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: the top safety. Their defense is struggling without these guys 555 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: in there, and like they're is massive to this defensive line. 556 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: So if these defensive guys for the Bucks can play, 557 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: to me, there's no way this line could be two 558 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: and a half. But this is going to be very 559 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: injury report dependent, So as it stands now, I think 560 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: we see via play. I don't know about the other 561 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: two in Kansi and Winfield, but I could only look 562 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay getting two and a half here. 563 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 2: Jacksonville Houston. I'm really down on Jacksonville, as is everyone, 564 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: But at seven is there an argument for Jacksonville Houston? 565 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 2: By the way, a lot of people like them in 566 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Have they covered a game yet this year? 567 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: I think there can be a case for Jacksonville at seven. 568 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: It's a tough one to get to when you see 569 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: what might actually be going on behind the scenes. On offense, 570 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: is Peterson running to show and calling the plays? Is 571 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: at press Taylor? Where is Trevor Lawrence in this They're 572 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: still having Ingram out of the picture dealing with the injury. 573 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: So it's really messy for the Jags on offense. Defensively 574 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: under Ryan Nielsen, they've just played a ton of man 575 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: coverage and they've been burned week after week because they 576 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: don't have Tyson Campbell. They've been down safeties as well, 577 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: so it's like, how are you playing the league's highest 578 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: rate of man coverage when you're without key guys to 579 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: make that man coverage work. Interestingly enough, CJ. Stroud in 580 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: his career has struggled considerably more against man, where he's 581 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: thrived against zone. In zone, he's a top three quarterback. 582 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: Against man, he's a bottom four quarterback. You would think 583 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: that the addition of Diggs fixes that, but Diggs hasn't 584 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: been nearly the wide receiver he's been against man coverage 585 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: in the past in recent years. So I'm kind of 586 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: torn on this game. We've seen hints of resistance with 587 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: JAG's money coming in once it's got to seven. I'm 588 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: stuck on this one. To be quite honest, I don't 589 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: know what to do with it. I certainly thought I'd 590 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: find myself on Houston, but at this price, I don't 591 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: think I can get in there. 592 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 2: Another one that may or may not apply to that 593 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: Bears Cowboys logic is Arizona, coming off a loss at 594 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: home to Detroit, is now home to Mighty Washington and 595 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: Monday Night winners. Jayden Daniels is the man, Dan Quinn's 596 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: a superstar, and Cliff Kingsbury has a revenge spot And 597 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: it feels like everybody's gonna bet Washington. Should I be 598 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: on Arizona? 599 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: Here. I would love to fade Washington. Here's my problem. 600 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: The big reason for fading Washington is they haven't punted 601 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: in two games. Their offense is unbelievable. But now it's 602 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: faced the Giants and the Bengals, two very very bad defenses. 603 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Arizona is right in that class for bad defenses with 604 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: New York and with Cincinnati. So it's not like the 605 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: Commanders are stepping up in class for opposing defense. The 606 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: reason I want to fade them is because, like it's 607 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: not in games where they're not punting, which is crazy 608 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: to talk about. They're just squeaking by with victories. Like 609 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: they're not winning by multiple score margins. They beat the 610 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: Giants by three, they beat the Bengals by five after 611 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: not punting for two games. That shows how bad their 612 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: defense is. But can Arizona provide any resistance defensively? I 613 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: don't know if they can, And so I really want 614 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: to bet against this Commander's team for the game where 615 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: their defense is going to be exposed again and the 616 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: offense takes a step back. But honestly, it might not 617 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: be this week because you can move the football up 618 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: and down the field on Arizona every single week. 619 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it didn't score I don't think in the 620 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: second half. I don't know if that was Arizona's defense 621 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 2: or Ben Johnson was trying to get too cute again, 622 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 2: but both Okay. Yeah, by the way, what the hell's 623 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: wrong with Ben Jonnson this year? 624 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Well, it's not anything wrong. Against the Buccaneers. The Tampa 625 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: Bay was down four guys in the secondary, and so 626 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: he took criticism for letting GoF throw it fifty five times. 627 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: The truth is God threw it fifty five times. The 628 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: Lions got in the red zone seven times, they scored 629 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: one touchdown, so the offense there wasn't a problem. Last 630 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: week he faced a team that was very soft against 631 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: the run and ran it a ton and went up 632 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: and down the field for two and a half quarters 633 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: and then struggled on fourth down a couple times where 634 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: they couldn't get the big play when they needed it 635 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: to extend drives. So he has been going up against 636 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: the weakness and just absolutely trying to expose it of 637 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: opponents to the fullest extent. In terms of what's wrong, 638 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: Perhaps he's getting a little carried away with it, like 639 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: maybe Jared Goff doesn't need to throw it fifty five times, 640 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: let him throw it forty and rely in this great 641 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: offensive line and ground game. When you want to run 642 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: it forty five times against the Cardinals, maybe have GoF 643 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: throw a few more asses because they can be exposed 644 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: in the secondary. It seems very one way dependent, and 645 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: that balance might help out a lot. But I can't 646 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: knock an offensive play caller for going after a weakness 647 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: of a defense. 648 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I forgot one game Pittsburgh and Indy, Pittsburgh 649 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: three and zero. I was in the offseason. Sandon Steelers 650 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 2: are a six win team, and their fans, you know, 651 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: they're just still inundating me every day. I'm still not 652 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: a believer. I don't know. Maybe maybe they've convinced you 653 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: that this game managing thing works. They're going to Indy 654 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: this week and they're favored on the road historically not 655 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: a good tom On spot, but the Indie defense, I mean, 656 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 2: maybe Field's gonna have a field day if you will. 657 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 2: I don't know. 658 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, give me the give me the Colts here. The 659 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: Colts win this game while it's available. The Colts teased 660 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quite frankly as an 661 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: awesome teaser that I like to fit in here for 662 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: folks listening. But give me the Colts here offensively, indy, 663 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: believe it or not. We talked about how great the 664 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: Saints have been offensively aside from last week. The Colts 665 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: last week were equal with the Saints in yards per 666 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: play on offense, and still this week, through three weeks, 667 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: are number two in offensive yards per play. And all 668 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm reading is about how Anthony Richardson is struggling and 669 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken has regressed as a play caller. All they've 670 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: done through three weeks is put up the second best 671 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 1: offensive numbers of any team in the NFL. So something 672 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: there is not adding up. And what's causing that to 673 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: be true is the Colts in the red zone have 674 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: stubbed their toe and banged their head a few times 675 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: with just some horrible turnovers and some horrible decision making. 676 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: And so look, they're going to get that right. Stikeen 677 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: is too good of a play caller not to figure 678 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: that out. They're now getting a ton out of Jonathan 679 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: Taylor in the backfield, who I think they lean on, 680 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: Josh Downs, who is Richardson's favorite target throughout OTAs and 681 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: training camp is back and he'll be one hundred percent 682 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: for this game. This is a week where it clicks 683 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: for the Colts they win this game against the Steelers. 684 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Adam churn Off right angle sports. I 685 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 2: do have to ask. I know you're not you don't 686 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: have kids, right, you're married or maybe longtime girlfriend, But 687 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 2: how the hell are you able to follow so in 688 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: depth every single team all the time? Like there's not 689 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: enough time in the day for me to read all 690 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: the beat writers. I'm trying to keep up on injuries. 691 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 2: You're already ahead of them. How are you able to 692 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: do this? 693 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: Well, you're on national TV for how many hours a day? 694 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: Just three hours? It's just yeah, you're playing golf all 695 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 2: the time. 696 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: Come on, let's count through this. That's three hours. How 697 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: many hours a day do you play basketball. I've seen 698 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: the gym videos, I've seen the jumper. 699 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 2: I'm going to the gym, yes, yes, okay, So. 700 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: Let's say that's that's four and a half hours. And 701 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: then I mean you've got the family going on as well, 702 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: so all of the sadden you're at like six hours. 703 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: I've got the wife working, and then we've got we've 704 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: got a team of just over ten guys. One of 705 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: them is full time injuries and weather doing research, and 706 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: we spend all day looking at everything because this is 707 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: this is our lives. So that's that definitely helps and 708 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: as part of it. But when you're betting at the 709 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: highest levels, you're you're kind of on top of it, 710 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem like a whole lot. So I 711 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: do my best to share what I can from media 712 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: on podcast and the live streams and stuff to keep 713 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: people informed. But it's not a it's no longer a chore. 714 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: It's just football season and the life that comes with it. 715 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 2: But like you had said something, well, I mean we 716 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 2: I watched Eagles Saints because I had Eagles, and I 717 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 2: know McCoy got hurt. That was a big loss. And 718 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: then you come out on your pod this week and 719 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 2: you said the Eagles worked out five guys, five different 720 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 2: offensive line there's some crazy number like that. I was like, 721 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 2: I didn't even see that. 722 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, the Saint there was the Saints that did it. 723 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: They did it yesterday at practice on Tuesday, and it's 724 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: some some things like that have to be reported. And 725 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: so the indication early on was that more guys were 726 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: hurt in the Saints' game against the Eagles than initially 727 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: being reported, and so today so far we've seen no 728 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: practice from Eric McCoy Caesar Ruiz, who are two starting linemen. 729 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: They had to place their center on ir as well. 730 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: You have Alvin Kamara not at practice and Alante Taylor 731 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: along with the Mario Davis are both hurt as well. 732 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: So they not only did they work out five guys, 733 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: but there's a real chance the Saints are playing in 734 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: the game this week against the Falcons without their entire 735 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: starting five offensive line. So from last year, pardon me, 736 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: so the Falcons we didn't get into that game, but 737 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: very good at less than three. I think with the 738 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: Saints injury situation, that's a lot worse than it's being reported. 739 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: But that's the type of stuff you pick up on 740 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: when you're into this all day long. Yeah, you kind 741 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: of see it coming, and you have charts and notes 742 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: from the games on Sunday that you carry over. 743 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 2: Well, wait, Falcons they had some issues on the offensive 744 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 2: line on Sunday Night Football as well, right they do. 745 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: They're going to have to go to a backup center 746 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: for this game. And then we're waiting to see what's 747 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: going on with mcgaryett right tackle. He seems fifty to 748 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: fifty for it. But the situation for the Saints way 749 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: more dire than what the Falcons are going to have 750 00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: to deal with. 751 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 2: All right, Adam turnoff, obviously follow him and go to 752 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 2: his videos and everything easy. He's good. We'll see if 753 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 2: the Panthers turning around and that over four and a 754 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 2: half hits, boy, that'll be a real feather in your 755 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 2: cap going forward. Man. 756 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: That was clip. The YouTube clip we have is it's 757 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: ten minutes there. Let me point out that the Seahawks 758 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 1: being great was mentioned in it, the Vikings being great 759 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: was mentioned in it, Chiefs being the best team in 760 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: the AFC was mentioned in it, and the Eagles going 761 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: over their win total, while the Cowboys struggle was mentioned 762 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: in it. None of those no are getting comments, but 763 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: the one at the end, which is the Panthers has 764 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: turned into a three month roast on YouTube and the 765 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: last two weeks I've heard nothing about it. So to 766 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,479 Speaker 1: get some reprieve in week three has been amazing. And yeah, 767 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: not only is it a feather in the cap, but 768 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be a very quiet YouTube comment section 769 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: from the end of the state season to get. 770 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 2: There just about this week. I think I'm going to 771 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 2: probably have the Bengals in the contest. Anyways, Adam churn Off, 772 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 2: he's great. Thanks a lot, man, Thanks very much. 773 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: Enjoy Week four.
