Are you? Are you broadcasting from 18 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 3: a coffee shop right now? 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 4: What do we doing? 20 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: Because I'm wearing glasses and making any hipsterses. 21 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 4: Flannel hoodie fucking aspiring writer that I don't know, like 22 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 4: you're a poet, but seriously, this is my I ran 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 4: a contacts look. 24 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: So I thought it was I I stopped my composting 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: in order to come here and do the show. I 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: thought that's what it was. And what are you laughing about? 27 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: Billbo Saggins guy over here? I need a holiday.

A classic classic. Let's go, all right, 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: we got a great show for you today. As oways, 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna preview the AFC South. But before we get 34 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: into all of that, subscribe to the channel like this video. 35 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: It's easy to do. This is our new channel. This 36 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: is our labor of love, the three of us, where 37 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: we come on here and just talk ball a little 38 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: bit of everything here when it comes to Footbo, because 39 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: that's how we all of us digest the NFL. And 40 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: before we get to the teams, I want to talk 41 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: about something that we need to digest here because we 42 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: are now just what like, less than ten days away 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: from the decision. I feel like there should be an 44 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: ESPN special this when it comes to Aj Brown because 45 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: AJ Brown is probably going to be traded here. We've 46 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: seen the roster moves that Hallie Rosena has made with 47 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, so there's a good chance 48 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: he is on his way. Perhaps he is going to 49 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Maybe the Rams want to kick 50 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: the tires in here. If there's one move that could 51 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: put the Rams over the top. And we know Sean 52 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: McVay hates's first round picks. Just ask Ty Simpson how 53 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: much he hates first round picks. There's a chance also 54 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: from a bit of reporting yesterday that the Kansas City Chiefs, 55 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: according to Albert Breer, could be circling back around because 56 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: of some of the stuff we talked about on yesterday show, 57 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: which you can watch on demand on Tailgate NFL subscribe 58 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: to YouTube channel. So Eric said, I want to talk 59 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: about this for a second here because we kind of, 60 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: without realizing it, we're sort of putting this out there 61 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: into the ether. I think about how much can the 62 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs really rely on him, and what's it going to 63 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: look like next year? Are they probably going to move 64 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: on from him? We all thought it was probably a 65 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: bad investment. Now we're in a situation where where it 66 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: looks like there's a possibility where the Chiefs might be saying, Okay, 67 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: when Mahomes gets healthy, can we really rely on Rushi 68 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: Rice too between I don't know, the twentieth of May 69 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: and the first of September to not get into even 70 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: more trouble. And I don't think that's a ridiculous thought 71 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: process from the Chiefs organization. Do you think that they're 72 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: actually really in on this or is this just an 73 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: NFL reporter kind of hearing a rumor and putting it 74 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: out there is a possibility. 75 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 3: I think it's them doing their due diligence. I think 76 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: that any team they need wide receivers. Even if Rushi 77 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: Rice wasn't in jail, you're spending his thirty days away. 78 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: So I think that calling the Eagles just to get 79 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: an idea of kicking the tires on. All right, Well, 80 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: what is the Aj Brown Patriots compensation? I think that 81 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: we all believe it's a twenty twenty seven first round 82 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: pick or twenty twenty eight first round pick that's going 83 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: to be dealt for AJ Brown because that's what the 84 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: Eagles want, a future first rounder. So I believe it 85 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: that they're calling about it, But I do think that 86 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: it's going to be to the Patriots unless another team 87 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: offers a lot more. And that's kind of what the 88 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: Handschick agreement is. He gos, Yeah, we're gonna trade you 89 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: A J. Brown for our future first unless we get 90 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: something better, because if we get something better, then we 91 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: have to renegotiate because we're gonna take the best deal. 92 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: We don't care where he necessarily goes. We don't necessarily 93 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: feel that we need to do right by A J. 94 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: Brown. 95 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: I think Age Brown wants to go to the Patriots. 96 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: Think that's pretty clear. He likes the Patriots, likes Mike Frable. 97 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: I saw I saw a post and I don't think 98 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: that I'm pretty sure it wasn't real. But at A J. 99 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: Brown's wedding, it was like who was invited? It was 100 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 3: Drake May, Mike Rabel and then Mike Rabel's plus one 101 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: with the initials d R like like so so clearly, 102 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: but like the ag Brown has a connection with the 103 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: the coaching staff in New England and he wants to 104 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: be there, so I think that makes the most sense. 105 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: But I think that every team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the 106 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: h Los Angeles Rams. You just got to call and 107 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 3: ask like, well, what is it the price? Is it 108 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: changed at all? And maybe teams don't get more desperate 109 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: if you know, certain things injuries happen, which we now. 110 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: I also wonder if it's some of the teams just 111 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: rolling that price up on the Patriots too, because they 112 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: could you know what I mean, like that that's all 113 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: these little games with ship It's the NFL, everybody. If 114 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: you think that's stuff doesn't go on, of course it does. 115 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: It's the same crap that goes on in your fantasy 116 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: football leagues. Or somebody's like, ah, you know, before I 117 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: trade this guy his own so maybe I'll kick the 118 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: tires on it. Well, So and So's given me this 119 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: guy for AJ Brown, it's no different, it really isn't. 120 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: I think we all believe it to be a foregone 121 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: conclusion that the Patriots will be the team for AJ 122 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: Brown because what erick'son said, like that connectivity between the 123 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: two of them, it's a real thing. We all know that. 124 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: We know that a lot of the players love to 125 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: play for Mike Raebele and all the scandal and nonsense 126 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: aside there, Like it just feels like that's probably where 127 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: we're going. However, if it does go somewhere else and 128 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: it goes to the Chiefs or the Rams or some 129 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: other team, the Rams are the one that's still the 130 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: most interesting to me because that puts them in a 131 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: spot where you go, I don't know what you do 132 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: to stop that Rams offense. And it also creates this 133 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: incredible insurance policy where if you do get another Puka 134 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Nakua injury, or if you do get some decline in 135 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: another year of age of DeVante Adams like AJ Brown, 136 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: Puka Nakua Davante Adams. It's one of the great wide 137 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: receiver trios I think we'd ever see in the NFL. 138 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: It's probably unlikely. I think the Chiefs might be a 139 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: more likely landing spot. But if you're Aj Brown and 140 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: his agent, do you want him to be with the 141 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: Patriots or do you want them to be with the Chiefs. 142 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: I feel like you can make more money with the 143 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: Patriots because the Chiefs still have a massive cap issues 144 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: coming forward in the next couple of years. 145 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just pulling up cap space for twenty 146 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: twenty seven, and it looks like if you're Aj Brown, 147 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: you probably want to end up with the Rams. They 148 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: have over one hundred million dollars in cap space in 149 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. Noah, okay, the Chiefs, like you said, Joe, 150 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: they're underwater. 151 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: Well here's the difference too, de Bro, because you're talking 152 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: about a team that like, whenever you have that first 153 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: rookie contract for a quarterback like Drake May, you can 154 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: overspend on the frills, right the other stuff. You can't 155 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: do that when you're paying a guy fifty million dollars 156 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: like Patrick Mahomes. And then the other question is if 157 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: you're a J. Brown and everybody okay, yeah, the Rams, 158 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: that sounds good in theory. But if you win it 159 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: all and then Matt if Stafford goes away, what does 160 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: that look like for the next couple of years the 161 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: end of your career. So there's a lot I feel like, again, 162 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: the best landing spot if you're a J. Brown, where 163 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: you want to be to get paid and where you 164 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: want to be to be relevant, is still New England 165 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: when all is said and done. 166 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's still New England. And I think 167 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: that's probably still like the favorite place for him to go. 168 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: And I don't disagree with any of that. I'd say 169 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: the place that needs him the most. A lot of 170 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: people will say the Patriots. I will say the Chiefs 171 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: need him the most. They don't have a guy that 172 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: could beat Man coverage. They legit do not have that 173 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: guy on their roster, like Xavier Worthy can't do that, 174 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: where she Rice has never been asked to do that, 175 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: and at this point, I don't know that he can. 176 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: So they need They've been needing a guy that could 177 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: beat man coverage for multiple seasons and it's a problem. 178 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs need him more than even the Patriots. 179 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: And it obviously the Rams considering the wealth of you know, 180 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: riches that they have. But I think the funnest spot 181 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: for him to land would be the Rams because then 182 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: everybody's like, oh, they were gonna calm it all down, 183 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: but they're gonna try for this not to come out. 184 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: But like everybody be like, is this the new dream Team? 185 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: And then it's like oh no, oh no, Like I said, 186 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: we should have the decision. We should have. I mean, 187 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: this is who Lebron did, right, we get we get 188 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: everybody together and that and that dream team scenario down 189 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: in Miami years ago. Now it's I think I know 190 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: the answer to this question, but we ask it anyway. 191 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: Is there any universe where the Eagles actually are better 192 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: offensively without AJ Brown because of a different construction of 193 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: the offense. 194 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think a player I like them, 195 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 3: thinking from a long term perspective that maybe Mackay Lemon, 196 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: Eli Stowers as the integral parts of this offense operating 197 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: more over the middle of the field. Obviously, last year 198 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 3: with AJ Brown, like you weren't getting the best out 199 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: of him because of the I don't want to say 200 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 3: lack of effort, but lack of his involvement in the offense. 201 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: When you're not featuring your best player more often in 202 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: the passing game, well the offense is going to struggle. 203 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: So their time is obviously were off, like he was 204 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: no longer going to fit in what they're trying to do. 205 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 3: And them drafting, I mean trading up to draft a 206 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 3: kind of Lemon. I mean that's pretty telling. Yeah, we're 207 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: ready to move on and go in a different direction. 208 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: Devonte Smith wide receiver, one, et cetera. So I don't 209 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: think the team is better in twenty twenty six now, 210 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: But a thing a J. Brown is not a spring chicken. 211 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 3: He's not like super old, but he's getting closer to 212 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: age thirty, and he does have this mysterious degenerative knee 213 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 3: thing that's been reported, Like how many years does he 214 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: have left? And the way that he plays, he plays 215 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: bully ball, right, This dude wants to run you over. 216 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 3: He's a superstar receiver. But he just fits with the 217 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: Patriots in their timeline are right now, whereas I guess 218 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: I'll push back a little bit here on the Chiefs. 219 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 3: Is this the best version of the Chiefs that you're 220 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: gonna get twenty twenty six with my homes coming off 221 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: s ac like, probably not. 222 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: Like I kind of feel like Jefs. 223 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 3: So for me, it's like aj Brown is more of 224 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: a dropping into it contender versus dropping to a team 225 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: that's kind of on a mini rebuild, which I think 226 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: the Chiefs this year kind of fit that profile. I 227 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: feel like that. 228 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: I feel like the Chiefs think that they're in that 229 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: dee brow like mini rebuild to be possibly a team 230 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: of backdoors. They're wait into the playoffs this year and 231 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: if they're healthy, makes some noise there, which is still relevant. 232 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Whenever I have Patrick Mahomes healthy, you have a chance, 233 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: but you know fun fact here, Rushie Rice that can 234 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: be turning twenty seven and AJ Brown's twenty eight. Tell 235 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: the whole like that mapples. 236 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, like we said before, Rashid Rice isn't nearly as 237 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: young as people think he is. And I don't disagree. 238 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: I think we're the Chiefs are in their life cycle 239 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: of their team. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. 240 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: It makes a ton of sense for the Rams to 241 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 2: make a ton of sense for the Patriots. I'd say 242 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 2: those are the two probable favorites and probably the best 243 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: landing spots for him. But I kind of disagree, Like 244 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: the Eagles could be a better offense without Aj Brown 245 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: if Jalen Hurts isn't forced feeding the ball to him 246 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: on a person at basis, And what if he does 247 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 2: hit the wall with the knee, and what if he 248 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: does fall off a cliff because wide receivers of his body, 249 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: of his archetype and skill set, when the cliff comes, baby, 250 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: it's here, and it's very very real. And now you 251 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: don't have a game changing talent. Now you have a 252 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: disgruntled wide receiver that can't deal with the fact that 253 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: he's not what he once was. Is that a good 254 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: thing to keep in Philly. 255 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: It's a good question.

All right, everybody, let's 273 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: turn our attention now to the AFC South. That's right. 274 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: When I think of the South, I think of Derek Brown, 275 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: you know, lovely accent, a twang of his. It's just 276 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: it's cheerful in my soul. 277 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: Sometime I think of danmar Jones, That's what I think of. 278 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about first squad here. We're gona 279 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars. So just doing kind of 280 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: a little look here at the schedule, looking through some 281 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: things here. Obviously last year with Liam Conen, that first year, 282 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: you got that bounce. Everything was new. Everything is exciting 283 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: now here too. I think there's a little bit more preparation. 284 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: We had a great discussion on the Fantasy Pro Show 285 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: earlier in the week with Jake Sealey about Trevor Lawrence, 286 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,599 Speaker 1: and yeah, like towards the end of the year, he 287 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: really did come on strong. Some of those big stats, 288 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: though again I keep coming back to the same thing. 289 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: They get padded by playing some really crappy teams, including 290 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: the Jets. At the end of the year. He put 291 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: up his only three hundred yard game and a five 292 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: touch shown performance. The other big performances down that stretch 293 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: against the Titans, a team that was still not very good, 294 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: against the Arizona Cardinals. So I'm glad that Trevor Lawrence 295 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: is trending in the right direction. I'm just not sure 296 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: that right now, Debro, We're getting all of a sudden 297 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: like Trevor Larns has now finally realize all his promise now. 298 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: One thing to keep in mind too, they only have 299 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: six true regular season home games in Jacksonville this year. 300 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: The other eleven games will be on the road and 301 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: neutral sites because of all the you know, I guess 302 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: London is their home away from home. How much does 303 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: that impact your take on the Jaguars this year? That schedule. 304 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: I was just looking at the schedule. I think we 305 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: could talk about the travel and the lack of home games, 306 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: and I think that all matters. The other part about 307 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: this schedule, guys, it is brew a like before weeks 308 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 2: they're Week seven by okay, fine, you get the Browns 309 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 2: in Week one, kudos, probably get a win. 310 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: There after that? 311 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: Dude, are we steering at a one in five team 312 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 2: going into their bye week? They get the Denver Broncos, 313 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 2: the Patriots, the Bengals, the Eagles, and the freaking Texans. 314 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: Wo Man, that's rough, And does some of the luster 315 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 2: come off of Liam Cohen and all the Gladstone stuff 316 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: about him bombing these two last draft classes is the 317 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: ballume gonna get turned up on that when we're coming 318 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: out of the bye week. 319 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: Well, you know what happens ericson is when you don't 320 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: have good drafts and you start to have the inevitable injuries. 321 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: As you love to talk about the injury attrition a 322 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: year over year in which teams have good and bad 323 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, it's that roster depth that kind 324 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: of saves you during those moments. And I feel like 325 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: when we look back at this year's draft for the Jaguars, 326 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things you can point 327 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: to as a negative. 328 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that a lot of us were 329 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: really high on what the jacksonne Jaguars did in their draft, 330 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 3: and the Travis Hunter pick obviously put them behind the 331 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: eight ball a little bit without having a future first 332 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: because they traded to get Travis Hunter. Now, he missed 333 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 3: the second half of his rookie year. It looked like 334 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: maybe he was kind of on the cusp of a breakout. 335 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: In his last game against Los Angeles Rams, where he 336 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: had one hundred yards as a receiver, he was defending 337 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 3: passes against DeVonta Adams. It was kind of like the 338 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 3: thesis of the play of Okay, this is why we 339 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: like Travis Hunt because he's going to shut down DeVonta 340 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: Adams and he's also got to go for one hundred 341 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: yards on the other side football. Now, I think with 342 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 3: them in terms of the schedule, agreeing with you guys, 343 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 3: fifth most difficult through weeks one through six, and then 344 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: talking about in the second half of the year the 345 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: road games. Right, seven of the last ten games are 346 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: on the road in the second half. And one thing 347 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: that I thought was really interesting when I was looking 348 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: back on my schedule release article. I know, Joe, you 349 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: didn't read it, but in twenty twenty five I did 350 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: this article. No idea, maybe say you should have read it, 351 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: because what I talked about in that article was that 352 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence had one of the easiest schedules in the 353 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: second half of the twenty twenty five season. 354 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: Yep. 355 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: So to your point, it was a cupcake schedule that 356 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: ended up playing out that way, and I think did 357 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: really boost some of his statistics towards the end of 358 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 3: the year. Now obviously took major growth in Liam Cohan's offense. 359 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: Acquiring Jacoby Myers was I think a big boost just 360 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: getting more of his style fit types of receivers, whereas 361 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: in the beginning of the year really wasn't clicking between 362 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 3: him and Brian Thomas Junior. So you're adding pieces of 363 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 3: players that he was more comfortable throwing to, whether we 364 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 3: Parker Washington or Jacoby Meyers. So those are a couple 365 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: things I wouldn't note. And yeah, maybe it is a 366 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: little bit more Strugglesville and Jacksonville to start the year 367 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: with a tougher schedule, specially with how front loaded it is. 368 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: I want you to know something, Andrew, I love you 369 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: very much. You're a dear friend of mine. So is 370 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: Derek Brown. I don't read his articles either. I just don't. 371 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm too busy writing books instead of reading stuff. That's 372 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: what That's the thing. But look in all, it's just 373 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: a busy time of year for me. Tired. I mean 374 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: I work with children. 375 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: Full disclosure for the people that are listening. Joe put 376 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers on the show sheet for the because 377 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: I was. 378 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: Going one hundred miles an hour trying to get the 379 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: show ready. It's fine, you know I dogged you on 380 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: the show. 381 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 3: You could dog he's tired. 382 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm just going Southern teams on my going through stuff, 383 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: and like my brain just completely zapped because I was 384 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: trying to get this show planned for tomorrow done before 385 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: the four more baseball shows I had to host yesterday. 386 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: The writer formerly known as Ericson pointed it out right now, 387 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: it's it's the ambulance, Joe. 388 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 3: You want to pick it out. 389 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. 390 00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: They might be picking him up. 391 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 3: You know, he's old. 392 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: I wish they would take me, they would just take 393 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: me away from all my problems. So forth. All right, 394 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: so Ericson, talk to me about this Travis Hunter. This 395 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: offseason has been bizarre. We've gotten first of it was 396 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: he's only going to play corner, and it's, well, you know, 397 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: we think maybe we do want to get him involved 398 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: in the wide receiver. And then while the wide receivers 399 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: room is really, you know, kind of crowded already, are 400 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: we going to look back at this Travis Hunter move 401 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: and think that they grossly overpaid to move up in 402 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: the draft to get him. 403 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: I mean, that's probably what it looks like right now, 404 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: because we don't really have an idea of what he's 405 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 3: going to be doing. I think that they want him 406 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: to play both ways, and that really is what you 407 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 3: have to do with him. If you're going to try 408 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 3: to justify the price that they pay to get Travis 409 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 3: Hunter and moving him for first two first round picks, 410 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 3: they essentially get two players that can play both cornerback 411 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: and wide receivers. So I believe then what they say 412 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: that they want to continue to have him play wide 413 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 3: receiver in a more of a scheme touch role and 414 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 3: then have continue to get more snaps on the defensive 415 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 3: side of the football because that's really where they need 416 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: him more. We talked about the depth that the Jacksonville 417 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: Jaguars have at wide receiver. He's a starter at the 418 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 3: cornerback position when you just look at the depth chart 419 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: based on the guys and moves that they made during 420 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 3: free agency. So I do think it is noteworthy though 421 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 3: that before he got injured last year, he led the 422 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 3: team in catches weeks one through seven, second of the 423 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: team in routes, mostly operating out of the slot. So look, 424 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: a lot of it was underneath stuff scheme touches. I 425 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 3: think that's good, isn't that word? 426 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence excels Eric said, I feel like that's his 427 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: MO so far, because the Brian Thomas on the outside. 428 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: That was the Mac Jones project. That wasn't the Trevor 429 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: Lawrence project two years ago. De bro to this point too. 430 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: Now you've got a very crowded group of guys like 431 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: Parker Washington and Jacobe Myers, like, all these guys can 432 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: do the slot stuff. So you don't really need Travis 433 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: Hunter to do that. So should he just play corner 434 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: and focus on that? 435 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 2: He should just play corner? And it's a fools are 436 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: and to keep doing this back and forth everything. I mean, 437 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 2: the thing that I go back to is if Travis 438 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: Hunter becomes who he is meant to be, and he 439 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: is a top five to ten, top twelve corner in 440 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: the NFL, let's just say top twelve. If he becomes 441 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: a top twelve corner in the NFL, nobody's gonna freaking 442 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: care who the Jaguars traded or how much they traded 443 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: to get to get him. Nobody's gonna care about that. 444 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: If you keep doing this back and forth garbage. He 445 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: doesn't have enough time to sit here and practice both. 446 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 2: He's still unrefined as a wide receiver, never gonna hit 447 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: his ceiling. As a corner, He's not a true difference 448 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: maker or an all pro on either side of the ball. Yes, 449 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 2: he's gonna go down as ex I'm not saying a bust, 450 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 2: but the price they paid to get him, it's going 451 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: to look like a fool's errand they need to stop 452 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: this crap man. Like I've talked about this as Travis 453 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: Hunter as a prospect, it's like there's only so many 454 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: hours in the day that you have to work on 455 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: your craft. The guys that play on one side of 456 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: the ball that spent all of their effort focusing on 457 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 2: becoming the best version of themselves for that one position, 458 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 2: most of them still don't even like become like elite 459 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: players at their positions. So we're expecting Travis Hunter to 460 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 2: just buck that trend and be an outlier of outlier 461 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 2: of outliers. It's it's foolish to me, and honestly, considering 462 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: the foolishness here, it's kind of in line with what 463 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 2: Gladstone has done and continues to do. 464 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: Andrew, how many hours a week do you think Debro 465 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: loses to his craft by combing his beard for hours 466 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: on end. Oh, I would say at least three or 467 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: four hours in a week. He loses to combing his 468 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: beard where he could be working on his craft. 469 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think you could be? You're doing 470 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 3: so many different things instead of combing your beard, like 471 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 3: reading Andrew Erickson's article. 472 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, just staring in the and in the mirror, hoping 473 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: that I had a It's okay, you can be growing 474 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: hair on top of your head. 475 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: If he could, he would, If he could, he would, 476 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: he went there. 477 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 3: I was waiting for it. 478 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: I was like, I know what I think. I think 479 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: in season or maybe in the playoffs, Deebro and I 480 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: instead of like the you know people do the playoff beer, 481 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: we should do the opposite. 482 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't want that. 483 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't hilarious. Just to let it go until the 484 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: super Bowl and then we shave it again. Oh jesus, 485 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: to see what it looks like. I know, I know 486 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: what it will. Yeah, it's fine, it's the dead period. Anyway, 487 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: let's do it. 488 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: Oh could I have been a bad scientist. I don't 489 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: want it now. 490 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: I want to see it more. Super Bowl winner for 491 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: the Jaguars Odds in Vegas plus three thousand hard pass 492 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: Conference winner plus fifteen hundred hard pass from division winner 493 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: plus two thirty anyone, anyone, buel, no hard pass for 494 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: ers too okay to make the playoffs? Yes, plus one 495 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: oh five? No plus one ten. 496 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 2: I'll take the no side of that. 497 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: I kind of like the no side too. Ericson what 498 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: do you think? 499 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 3: I think? I mean, the AFC sund is always so 500 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 3: tough with these playoff teams because you don't as they 501 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: even have to put up a good record, and you 502 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: can somehow sneak in back where you're waiting to the playoffs. 503 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: So it's probably going to be a shy away for me. 504 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: All right. If you were to set the wind total, 505 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: what would it be for this team? 506 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: I bet it's way too high. 507 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 3: I think that wasn't the question second half of last year. 508 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 3: I could get a I'll say nine and a half. 509 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: I think it should be nine and a half. But 510 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: I get the feeling that Vegas has done it made 511 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: it ten and a half. 512 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: Nope, it is nine and a half. So you want 513 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: to go over for plus one twenty or under minus 514 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: one thirty. And if the minus is telling you minus 515 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: one thirty, then you definitely want to vote to know 516 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: on to make the playoffs. 517 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 2: Uh huh. Yeah. 518 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: That's like one of those things where it's like they're 519 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: telling you the story of you know, they give it 520 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: the script out for the NFL every year, guys, everyone 521 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: says it on Twitter, so they're telling you what's going 522 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: to happen. 523 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: So just listen script as they come back to earth. 524 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 2: This year, that massively. 525 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the Houston Texans, because they 526 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: think the Texans are all about c J. Stroud between 527 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: the ears this year. It's a confidence level. The confidence 528 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: definitely was shook at the end of the playoffs, and 529 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: rightfully so, like he faced some some pretty good defenses 530 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: there and he's you know, the offensive line was still 531 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: a very much work in progress. Now they have done, 532 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: you know, a lot to kind of remake that. How 533 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: good it is we could debate that here. But CJ. 534 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: Stroud definitely has had some issues. I believe that some 535 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: of them also stem from the lack of consistency at 536 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: the running back position, because I think when you have 537 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: that run game that you can count on, with some 538 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: balance and some better offensive line play, I think every 539 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: quarterback is a little bit more comfortable throwing the football 540 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: and be in the pocket. De Bro talk to me 541 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: about the Texans offensive line and the acquisition of David 542 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Montgomery and how much that theoretically could help CJ. Stroud 543 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: get back on track for twenty twenty six. Because this 544 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: Texas defense is super Bowl caliber. 545 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 2: I absolutely agree with the defense super Bowl caliber, one 546 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: of the best in the Honestly, you can make the 547 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: argument that the best defense in the NFL, and one 548 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: good with what they've done with the offensive line, I 549 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: just I don't find myself loving anything that they've really 550 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: done outside of bringing in Braden Smith. Like ed Ingram 551 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 2: is okay, but not amazing. Wyatt Teller, there's reason the 552 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: Browns didn't retain him, the effectiveness, the health of this 553 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 2: part of his career. They drafted, They traded up for 554 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: Keelan Rutledge to play him at center, although that is 555 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: a position he has never played at all. But he's 556 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: just gonna magically morph into a center in his rookie 557 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: season in the NFL. Yeah, that seems like they're setting 558 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: him up to succeed. And then you talk about the 559 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 2: death behind him like Evan Brown passable at best. Trent 560 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 2: Brown is just a mountain of a man like he 561 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: gets it done because team like defensive ends had to 562 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 2: try to run around him, and so the offensive line 563 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 2: I'm not nearly as high on what they did this 564 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: offseason versus somebody like the Cleveland Browns. But going back 565 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: to it, I think that adding David Montgomery and giving 566 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 2: c J. Stroud a running game to one lean on, 567 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 2: two little help play action, and three it's gonna help 568 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: hide c J. Stroud to a certain amount is definitely plus. 569 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 2: I think David Montgomery still has juice and I think 570 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: he still can get it done. I'm actually very excited 571 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: to see him back into a workhorse feature role, and 572 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: I think that's what he's gonna get. I think this 573 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: is he's the new Joe Mixon in town. They're gonna 574 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 2: lean on him as much as he possibly can, like 575 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: he's gonna get three hundred plus touches. And if the 576 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: Texans do go to the Super Bowl this year, I 577 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 2: think it's more likely because of their defense and their 578 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: run game than it is because of anything c J. 579 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: Stroud does and Erickson. To me, it's like c J. Stroud, Hey, 580 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: don't make mistakes, go manage the game and play with 581 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more confidence and let the defense cook. 582 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: To me, that's the special sauce here. 583 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 3: What do you think I think that makes sense? But 584 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: I do think that having CJ. Stroud look anything like 585 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 3: he did his rookie year is what puts the Texans 586 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl, right where if he can be 587 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 3: that guy and you're getting the defense as a top 588 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 3: five unit or the best defense in the NFL. Again, 589 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: the defense was winning games last year. I think this 590 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 3: is what they tried to do last year, and it 591 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: worked to an extent. He wasn't losing games for that. 592 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 3: I mean, they were good last year overall. But then 593 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 3: things kind of unraveled when Moore was asked to put 594 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 3: on his plate. He was coming off with the concussion. 595 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 3: Scary injury, and especially when you're playing behind a patchwork 596 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 3: offensive line. The thing was Stroud that I was really 597 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 3: surprised at just looking back at the last three years 598 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 3: and going back to his rookie year where I'm thinking, man, 599 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 3: did this guy like ever have a good run game? 600 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 3: I'm like looking like last year rushing success right, last 601 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: two years ago like debt second last good? Yeah no, 602 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 3: and this rookiear again it was still like terrible. So 603 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 3: with this offensive line, can we at least get a 604 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 3: semblance of a run game where it's twentieth sixteenth, eighteenth 605 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: not we don't need a top ten run game here, 606 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: but just something to take the heat off of CJ. 607 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 3: Stroud so he can kind of develop a groove of 608 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 3: some of these receivers outside of Nico Collins, right, they're 609 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 3: trying out Christian kirk all year last year. Why like 610 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 3: jayde Higgins is entering, He's a talented guy entering year too, 611 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: Jalen Nole entering year two. A lot of excitement with 612 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 3: some of these skilled players outside of Nico Collins, and 613 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 3: I think two with the offensive coroner coming back from 614 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 3: last year. Something that I would like to see more 615 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 3: of is these heavy tight end sets, like lean into it. 616 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 3: Their offensive coordinaer came from the Rams. Everyone is doing it. 617 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: They drafted Marlin Klein in the second round because hey, 618 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 3: he's a tight end. We have Dalton Schultz. Let's use 619 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 3: these heavy sets, get play action going for seeds. Droud 620 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 3: make it easy because we know that he can rip it. 621 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: We know that the upside he can offer and that 622 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: he can win in a shootout just hasn't shown it 623 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: the last couple of years, and they haven't been asked 624 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 3: to do that. But there are going to be times 625 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: where the Dexans defense can't shut out a team and 626 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 3: keep them below seventeen or twenty points. That happens in 627 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 3: the playoffs. I think he just droud has shown, at 628 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 3: least at the NFL level, he can be an elite passer, 629 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: but it's obviously been a few years since we have 630 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 3: seen it, and that does concern me that he has 631 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 3: taken a step back, he has regressed, and will we 632 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 3: ever see that guy again. I just I don't know 633 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 3: the answer to that. I want to believe he can 634 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: do it because he's so good as a rookie and 635 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 3: that's when you're expecting him to face the biggest challenges. 636 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 3: But maybe he kind of took, you know, bit off 637 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: too much that he could chew, and he was trying 638 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 3: to take too much of the offense. I think the 639 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: offenses really needs to be better around him, honestly, And 640 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 3: I think that's, you know, that's not a hot take. 641 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: I think he was sniffing his own hype too damn much, 642 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: man like everything coming out of his rookie season. Maybe 643 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: it was all these interviews and stuff, and he's talking 644 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: about he's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, 645 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: and and then he's giving it to believe that, right, Like, 646 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 2: that's fine, but yourself too, that's how you carry yourself too. Man. 647 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: Well you know that's also you know, not being on 648 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: your back. 649 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 3: One thing. One thing too, I want to note, and 650 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 3: it kind of gets forgotten. You're lost in the sauce. 651 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: Is losing Tank Dell? Like Tank Dell was c Strout's 652 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 3: and he. 653 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: Was an explosive playmaker. 654 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 3: Absolutely, But but but the way that Stroud talked about 655 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 3: tank Dell when he would list off, like who are 656 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: the best wide receivers in the NFL? Like Stroud would 657 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 3: mention Tank Dell like I think they asked him on 658 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 3: one of his interviews where it's like, okay, you have 659 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 3: your optimal lineup. Who you're putting on X you putting 660 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: that is who you're putting in the slot. And Tank 661 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: Dell was the slot receiver. He lists it off. 662 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: Your friends. I'm sure if you asked, like, you know, 663 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: who's your favorite host, you'd say me? But really you'd 664 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: rather be working with Rich Eisen. I think that's obvious. 665 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 3: No, But I don't think that he mentioned Nico Collins 666 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: as like his main He was like, no, I want 667 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, I want Jamar Chase and I want Tanked 668 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: Dell was like, okay, but and obviously Tank Dell's career 669 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 3: has been derailed by brutal injuries. But I mean, you 670 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: lose your guy, I think that also has a big 671 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 3: impact on you. 672 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: This is a saying made Oh go ahead. 673 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: I'm no fan of Nick Kayley. I don't care that 674 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: he's back. I think he's one of the worst offensive 675 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: coordinators in the entire NFL. The fact that they trotted 676 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: out Xavier Hutchinson last year you talked about like losing 677 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: Tank Dell, Well, that's also magnified when you're trotting out 678 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 2: Christian Kirk and Xavier Hutchinson over too talented rookies for 679 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: most of the year. And even when Jane Higgins is 680 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: flashing and he's showing you he deserves more playing time, 681 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 2: you should give him more playing time. You should be 682 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: utilizing Jalen Nolmore. He didn't do it and it's fine, 683 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: was that though? 684 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 3: Or is that Dimigo Ryans like he's the head coach. 685 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, right, I think sticks to the defensive side. 686 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: I don't think he really. 687 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're the head coach, you're like, dude, 688 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: these records are him on the field, Like. 689 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can, but I mean, or you 690 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: leave it, leave him in the sandbox to play with 691 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 2: the offense and you stick to the defense. 692 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: Who know, there's there's a lot being made to the 693 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: quote unquote cold weather crucibles that they got to go through. 694 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: Here at the end, we're in December on the road. 695 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: They played the Steelers in Pittsburgh, the Commanders and the 696 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: Eagles on the East Coast in December, and then the 697 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers on one four in January, where you 698 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: assume Michael Parson is going to be back by then. 699 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: To me, defense travels. So I really don't care about this. 700 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: I think it's overblown. Do you all agree? 701 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's overblown. That's just I think it's garbage, to 702 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 2: be honest. 703 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: Well, I do think it sucks for like the fantasy 704 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 3: outcomes for the Texans players because these games are not 705 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 3: going to be scoring. 706 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: So that. 707 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: My whole thing is, like, it's cold that time of 708 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 2: the year. Everybody's gonna be playing in cold unless they're 709 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 2: playing in freaking domes. So whatever does all right, Elis. 710 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 3: Is playing in domes in weeks fifteen, sixteen seventeen. They're 711 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 3: not going out. 712 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: How about the count very interesting. 713 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear my Jerry Jones shirt on the NFC 714 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: East when we get to that show. 715 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 2: I know, all right, should never take it off. 716 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: Super That's why I have the tattoo Jerry Jones. It's 717 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones tramp stamp, that's right. 718 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: Which were his eyes looking Joe? 719 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: But free agents entered this portal. Alright? 720 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 3: Oh my, alright? 721 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: Super Bowl winner for the Texans plus two thousand. I'm 722 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 1: kind of curious about this one. 723 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 3: Now. I know I can't roll them out because the 724 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: defense is. 725 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: Room because the defense is so good too. And here's 726 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: what I think, Andrew. At the very least, this makes 727 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: money as an investment in a cash out later on. 728 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: That's how I At some point that's gonna be five 729 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: to one, and they might be like, oh, here's sixty 730 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: percent of that bet back, and yes, I'll take that 731 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: very much, because that's how I play the futures. 732 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 3: Mark, what did the Texans play early in the year, Like, 733 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 3: what's their. 734 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: Early in the year is not nearly as bad early 735 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: in the year. It's well, they start off with Buffalo 736 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: and then they got the Bengals, the Colts, the Cowboys, Titans, Jags, Giant, Titans, Jags, Giants. 737 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: That's where you start to you know, you go on 738 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of a run there, I think, and 739 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: then you hit your bye week and after the bye 740 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: week they get the Chargers, Browns, Colts. Again, it's not 741 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: the easiest schedule, but again AFC isn't a very either 742 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: conference winner. Plus one thousand, Okay, intrigued. I'm still intrigued 743 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: by that one division winner plus one forty Yes, no, 744 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: like I think this is a good wager to make 745 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yes, minus one fifty five, No, plus one forty. 746 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: So obviously this they're going to be a playoff team, 747 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: if you know, unless Stroud completely implodes. But I don't 748 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: think is gonna happen. Win total, What do you think 749 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: it is? Boys? What do you think it is? 750 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 3: What's so? Jags was nine and it's probably go Jags 751 00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 3: nine and a half. It's probably gonna be nine and 752 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: a half, two nine and a half or ten and 753 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 3: a half. 754 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: That is correct, it's nine and a half. Again, No, 755 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. The over minus one ten, the under 756 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: plus one ten. So they're telling you they think that 757 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: the Texans are the edge here for this division, which 758 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: means instead of betting that, give me, you know, division 759 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: winner plus one forty, that's your best odds. See. Look 760 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: that's how you play this game. Kids. See you look 761 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: at that and it's telling you, oh, they think they're 762 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: a little better than Jaguars. Okay, Vegas. If you think 763 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna win that division, just instead of betting that, 764 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: instead of betting you win to it, will just go 765 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: bet the division plus one forty and you make more 766 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: money that way.

It's the Colts. I know we've been 794 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: waiting for this for a long time. Baby. Let's talk 795 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: about the Indianapolis Colts, which I don't know why it's 796 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: all in red. I don't know who did that. I 797 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: don't think I did that. 798 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: But whatever, I did that whenever you were supposed to 799 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 2: take out the Panthers. But apparently I. 800 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: Told you I was just rushing a million Alley John 801 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: Wait wait no, Instead it would have been a positive 802 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: for you would have a show without Daniel Jones discussion. 803 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 2: I mean, every show has a Daniel Jones. 804 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 3: So let's suspen it a different. Let's not talk about 805 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: Danie Jones. 806 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 1: I don't want talk about I want to talk about 807 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: Jamon Taylor. Talk about j Taylor. Yes, yes, yes, let's 808 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: let's stop it. Good, Yeah, Okay. Jonathan Taylor great year 809 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,919 Speaker 1: last year, it's been a while, is that a great 810 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: healthy season? In between, it's been ankle injury, ankle injury, 811 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: ankle injury. Right, so it's been a couple of years 812 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: of that. So ericson, where are you here with Jonathan 813 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: Taylor going to the season, Because especially with Daniel Jones 814 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: coming back from all the surgeries and issues in hell stuff, 815 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: it does feel like at least early on you have 816 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 1: got to lean on Jonathan Taylor. Is that too much 817 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: to ask of Jonathan Taylor that early? And are you 818 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: going to ruin him by the time the year is 819 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: halfway through. 820 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 3: I think that's possible that he might wear down as 821 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 3: the season progresses. But if you're Shane Steichen, dude, that's 822 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 3: what I'm trusting this offense and with Jonathan Tolder because 823 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 3: you have so many of these projections. 824 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: Right. 825 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 3: I don't mean to he who must not be named 826 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 3: is coming off of achilles injury. 827 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: But there are other Voldemort Daniel Jones picture, please, producers, 828 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: I want I want Daniel Jones as Baltimore with that 829 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: weird nose. 830 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 3: That's like, yeah, look, there are other parts of this 831 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 3: Colts offense that also are projections. Alic Pierce, you're not 832 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 3: gonna be wide receiver one. Can you deliver on that? 833 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 3: Maybe he can, maybe he can't. Like, that's a projection. 834 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 3: You have a new right tackle that's going to be 835 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 3: in because Brad Smith left the Colts is now with 836 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 3: the Houston Texans. Okay, another starting tackle. How is he 837 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 3: going to perform? I think that this offense overall is 838 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 3: more likely to be average than the top five unit 839 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,919 Speaker 3: that was last year, where again two thousand and seven 840 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 3: Patriots esque. That's not repeatable. That offense regressed the following 841 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 3: year because Brady got hurt, but again, it was going 842 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 3: to regress no matter what. So those are things that 843 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 3: I'm looking at beyond the quarterback, where if you're psyching, 844 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 3: you have to feed Jonathan Taylor as much as humanly 845 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 3: possible because that's going to get you two wins on 846 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 3: the offensive side of the football, while Daniel Jones starts 847 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 3: to come back from his interest because at some point, 848 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 3: like he will be much more healthy than he is 849 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 3: in weak. I mean, I think he'll probably looking much 850 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 3: better in week ten than he does in Week one 851 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 3: again fresh off again. He's also fractured his leg last 852 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: year too, and he was playing on which is why 853 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 3: he tore his achilles. So that's kind of how I'm 854 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 3: reading this offense where there are other question marks I have. 855 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 3: Of Okay, you could see if these guys do step 856 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 3: up into new roles, they smash. But I think it's 857 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor or bust early in the year for this 858 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 3: Colts offense. 859 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: The quarterback that lived come to t bro Oh good, 860 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: Harry Potter jokes aside. I don't think Alec Pierce is 861 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: the number one target in this offense. I think Tyler 862 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: Warren is hot taker. Now. No, I think Warren is 863 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: a superb talent, and I don't think he gets talked 864 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: about enough because we're in this golden age of tight ends. 865 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 3: He's not Colston Owyn. 866 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's tough. Not everyone can be. 867 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 3: But no, no, I agree Tolly. Warren is also very 868 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 3: very good. 869 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 2: I I I don't disagree with you, Joe, and and 870 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 2: I think to that, to that point, this passing attack 871 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 2: scares the crap out of me. Man like Josh Downs 872 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 2: has been banged up over multiple seasons. Is he going 873 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 2: to be an outside wide receiver? How is that going 874 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 2: to go? If he misses any time? Then you're boiling 875 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 2: this down to Alec Pearce, who is an unknown as 876 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 2: a true wide receiver one for an offense, and Tyler Warren, 877 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 2: And then we get into Nick Westbrook, Akine, Ashton Doolan, 878 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 2: Dion Burks, Anthony gold Lakwan Treadwell. Yes, he's still in 879 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 2: the NFL. Cole Coleman Owen. 880 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 3: Did you mention I did you? 881 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: I didn't mentions? 882 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? 883 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, seventh round pick. Gotta mention him. He's 884 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 2: a game changer. But that this all comes down to, 885 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 2: there is so much influx with this team on the 886 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball, that it's insane and quarterback health. 887 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 2: What are you getting out the passing attack? Alec Peers, 888 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 2: Tyler Warren dealing with you know, getting pushed despite all 889 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 2: that you. 890 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: Do, Look, this was one of the many faults of 891 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: a lot of teams. 892 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 3: You do. 893 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: Like, I still think the Colts have a top ten 894 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: offensive line, don't you. 895 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,479 Speaker 3: Start does They're starting Jalen Travis as a fourth round 896 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 3: rookie pick, so he's their new starting right tackle. So 897 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 3: like that's one thing that I think matters, Like having 898 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 3: a different right tack does, I think is one thing. Again, 899 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 3: I don't think that it's this is a team that 900 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 3: bottoms out on offense. Look at Shane Styke in the 901 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 3: last three years eight nine eight nine nine eight, like 902 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 3: like they're kind of kind of be they're kind of 903 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 3: doing thel And. 904 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: That was when Gardner Minshew. That was with Anthony Richardson, 905 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: that was with Philip Rivers, that was with Daniel Jones. 906 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean Shane Stike and I think deserves a little 907 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: bit of love. Yes, you know, I mean that's a 908 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 1: good football coach. This guy at real quarterback. 909 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 3: Please, now he's got to overcome the other another injury 910 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 3: to his quarterback, and that. 911 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 2: A real quarterback. 912 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 3: Though. 913 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: I realized something that the Boldemort title for Daniel Jones 914 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: is really applicable because it is he. He is coming back, 915 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, from the dead, basically reformed, remade right. A 916 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 1: lot of magical spells going on there, and uh makes 917 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: them very dangerous, very dangerous. 918 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 3: You know. 919 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: I think we should have that dark mark on our 920 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: arm too, so whenever we call upon him, he can 921 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: show up on the podcast. I think that'd be great. 922 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 3: I'm gonna need You're gonna need a rain check on 923 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 3: that because I burned my arm on the in the 924 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 3: oven yesterday. 925 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: Baking your sour dough. 926 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 3: Joe. 927 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 1: I never. 928 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 3: I have no idea why you assume that or I. 929 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: Just threw it out there yesterday is like a thing. 930 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: But now now you burned your arms suspiciously and we 931 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 1: don't know why or how. Uh what about the defense 932 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: of the Colts? Can we talk about that for a second, 933 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: because offensive is all we focused on? 934 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 3: Defense? 935 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: De Bro, talk to me about the defense of the Colts. 936 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: What do you think it looks like this year? 937 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 2: I think there, I think they're a really good unit 938 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 2: with the ability to be a very strong defense. Now 939 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say like they're gonna be a 940 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,439 Speaker 2: top five unit. I think their pass rush is good, 941 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 2: but I don't know if they have the parts of 942 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 2: pieces well they ought to lat to, like can he 943 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 2: take another step? JT? There? Like their defensive line is 944 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 2: very good, I just question what is the absolute ceiling 945 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 2: of their pass rush? Like, I don't look at this 946 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 2: unit as saying like this is a top five pass 947 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 2: rush in the NFL. I think the biggest thing for 948 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 2: them is what does the secondary look like and how 949 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 2: does that come together? Because if Tarvarius Ward can actually 950 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 2: stay healthy, same thing with Sauce Gardner, that tandem can 951 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 2: be one of the best in the NFL and that 952 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 2: can help their pass rush get home. The addition to 953 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 2: CJ Allen I thought was fantastic considering their linebacker room 954 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 2: in the offseason. So I think this defense could be 955 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 2: a top twelve unit, But I don't think that they'll 956 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 2: step into rare fight air as an elite unit unless 957 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 2: their corners just all really OutKick even what I think 958 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 2: they can do. 959 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: All right, super Bowl winner plus sixty five hundred, you 960 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 1: can miss me with that conference winn plus two do 961 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: you get hundred? You can miss me with that division 962 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: winner plus four hundred? Interesting long shot because it is 963 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 1: so tight, it is so close, but you can also 964 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: miss me with that too. I'd rather bet on the tech. 965 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm always betten on defense. I'm a defense guy, okay, 966 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: me and Bogs, and we like the defense. That's what 967 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: we like around these pars. Uh to make the playoffs. 968 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,959 Speaker 1: Plus one seventy, Yes, that's a lot. That's a great number. 969 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: Minus one seventy No, what side do you want to 970 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: be on to that? Ericson? 971 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 3: I want to be on no, because I know these 972 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 3: odds are going to shift after the I mean, the 973 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 3: first three weeks they play the Ravens, Chiefs and Texans, 974 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 3: like if you're getting getting and if you're getting Jones 975 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 3: at less than hundred percent, and Jonathan Taylor can't eke 976 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 3: out wins even though he's touched the ball thirty times 977 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 3: a game, and they're losing to those teams like, I mean, 978 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 3: if you look at those Raven Chiefs, Texans, like, those 979 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 3: are all good defenses. I think this team, to Deebro's 980 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 3: point and get to mention, I think that this defense 981 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 3: is also pretty good. I think they're probably average at worst, 982 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 3: but remember who do they go after Last year they 983 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 3: traded for Sastgardner, Like he has to be top five. 984 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 3: I've locked and loaded number one corner back in the 985 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,959 Speaker 3: NFL to really Yeah, exactly, So I think that puts 986 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 3: them into that top ten and maybe their defense has 987 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 3: to carry them while the offense kind of gets back 988 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 3: up to speed with the injury to their quarterback. And 989 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 3: I think that's possible with Gardner. I do think that 990 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 3: because they've also had issues too with some of their 991 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 3: defensive tackles, were like DeForest Buckner when he's missed time 992 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 3: in the past, like their run defense just gets eviscerated. 993 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 3: Grover Stewart. Those guys are a little bit older, so 994 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 3: but I think secondary wise to Various Ward, they really 995 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 3: could have an elite tandem. 996 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 2: Dude that they have to stay healthy though, because behind 997 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 2: them the depth is is not great. They have Jonathan Edwards, 998 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 2: Cam Taylor, Britt Whitt Eckler, McKay Blackmore. Yeah, they healthy. 999 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: What would you set the win total ad for this team? 1000 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 3: I feel like all these teams are going to be 1001 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 3: I think eight and a half would be. I think 1002 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 3: it's less for them. 1003 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's eight and a half and I'm 1004 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 2: taking the under. 1005 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 3: Yes, all right, all right, so there you go. Is 1006 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 3: it eight and a half? 1007 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:05,919 Speaker 2: What is it? Yeah? 1008 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 1: Well it's an and a half in eight and a 1009 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: half the best line you can get on Betting Pros 1010 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 1: right now, and the show's on Betting Pros today as 1011 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: well as the regular podcast feed everywhere. Over seven and 1012 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 1: a half at minus one thirty under eight and a 1013 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: half at minus one forty five. So to me, that's 1014 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: basically telling everybody like, we have no idea. All we 1015 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 1: know is we're covering our ass either way. That's when 1016 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: the Colts aren't making the playoffs, Vegas is covering their 1017 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: ass and they're like, you know what, We're just not 1018 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: a big fan of this. It's it's it screams unknown. 1019 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: And I think that's something I'd. 1020 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 2: Be very curious. What are the odds of them finishing 1021 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 2: last in their division? 1022 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, that I'd have to find it. I don't know 1023 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 1: that that's the specifics there. Let's talk about the Tennessee 1024 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: Titans with the most attractive coaching room in the. 1025 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 2: Histories coaching staff of the NFL. Baby Beautiful. 1026 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: My older brother Robert sala is back here, and I'm 1027 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: very happy for Robert sala again. I think he's a 1028 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: really good football guy. I think this is a really 1029 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: fun team here. Potentially, I think they're gonna be disruptors. 1030 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be annoying. I think they're gonna 1031 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: have there's gonna be a couple of weeks where we're 1032 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: gonna sit here on the show and we're gonna go 1033 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: can you believe with the Titans pulled off? I think 1034 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna do that. I don't know if it's gonna 1035 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: been right away, but I'm very intrigued by this team. 1036 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: So let's talk about what the impact of Robert sala 1037 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: is going to be. Debro I'm gonna start with you 1038 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,799 Speaker 1: here because you're bald like me, and so is Robert Salah. 1039 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 2: Yes, I had to take the hat off just for 1040 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 2: this team, that's right. I think they can make some 1041 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 2: noise at the gate. Like you look at the beginning 1042 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 2: of their schedule, they got the Jets, the Eagles, the Giants, 1043 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 2: the Ravens. I mean, if they start off two and 1044 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 2: two in those first four games, people will be talking 1045 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 2: about them. And if they're competitive against the Eagles and 1046 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,439 Speaker 2: the Ravens in those games. People will be talking about 1047 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 2: this team if they've managed to knock off the Eagles 1048 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 2: or the Ravens in one of those games. Yeah, you're 1049 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,760 Speaker 2: looking at a team that could be three and one possible. 1050 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Joe. I think they're gonna make 1051 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: some noise this year. Now, Like I don't think that, 1052 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 2: you know, saying that they're gonna win the division and 1053 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 2: go to the playoffs and that kind of stuff, like 1054 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 2: we shall see, depending on the odds that we get 1055 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 2: to later. I might not be against betting that, but 1056 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 2: I think adding Robert Sala, adding Brian Daball, like, say 1057 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 2: what you want about Brian Dable as a head coach, 1058 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,240 Speaker 2: as an offensive coordinator, and what he did with Jackson 1059 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 2: Dart last year, I think it is very commendable. Now, 1060 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 2: they didn't end up like closing out a lot of games, 1061 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 2: but if they wouldn't have fallen apart in the fourth 1062 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 2: quarter of a ton of games, Brian Daball would not 1063 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 2: be the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. He'd still 1064 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 2: be coaching the Giants right now. So I like that 1065 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 2: his addition with cam Ward, the fact that they put 1066 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 2: offensive weapons around cam Ward and said, hey, we want 1067 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 2: you to succeed Tony Pollard's good enough to see her 1068 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 2: and hold up the running attack. You know, if they 1069 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 2: get anything out of Tajy Spears, Nick Singleton, kudos, but 1070 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 2: putting more weapons around cam Ward like he has a 1071 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,720 Speaker 2: legitimate like you could put that starting three with Carnell, 1072 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 2: take Calvin Ridley and Wandel Robinson up against a ton 1073 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 2: of teams. And I'm not saying it's the best starting 1074 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 2: trio in the NFL. Ay bad boys ain't bad at all, 1075 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 2: you know what. 1076 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: I like that Despite he's a defensive mind a head coach, 1077 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 1: the organization is paying attention to the fact that it's 1078 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: an offensive league, and a lot of the the off 1079 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: season was spent Andrew between the draft and what they've 1080 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: brought in here. You know, bringing in Brian Dable, who's 1081 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 1: got a nice track record, is a good offensive mine 1082 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL that they're paying attention to. You have 1083 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: to develop this young quarterback, and you were stunting his 1084 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: growth with the last regime, the Manue. You got rid 1085 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: of them, things started to get a little bit better 1086 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: and which you really wanted to see a big jump 1087 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: in year two. So That's that's why I'm so cautiously optimistic. 1088 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: Is like, I feel like they're gonna have the defensive mindset, 1089 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: but the organization was looking towards improving the offense, which 1090 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: was really important. 1091 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 3: Times are gona put the whole league on notice after 1092 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,400 Speaker 3: Week one when they killed the Jets. So I am 1093 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 3: I am all aboard the Tennessee. 1094 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: I want what's that? What's the game? 1095 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 3: We talked about this. 1096 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 2: ONNUS three and a half. 1097 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 3: I think it was half no because it's playing in Nashville. 1098 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,280 Speaker 3: But I think that that's going to be a launch 1099 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 3: point for this team. Robertsoff facing his old team that 1100 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,320 Speaker 3: he coached for. I think that this is the Cameore 1101 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 3: breakout party. I love the Tennessee Titans. I want to 1102 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 3: bet them to win the division because we see this 1103 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 3: every single year where one team goes from last place 1104 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 3: to first place. And the Tennessee Titans have all of 1105 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 3: the ingredients of that type of team where you have 1106 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 3: a second year quarterback taking a major leap, you have 1107 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 3: him paired with a successful offensive mind in Brian Daball. 1108 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 3: You have Robert Salad who shown that he can win 1109 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 3: games with bad quarterbacks. Then talking about Shane Steiken. This 1110 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 3: guy got seven wins with Zach Wilson, Mike White, and 1111 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 3: Joe Flacco in twenty twenty two and from the top 1112 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 3: five defense with Zach Wilson and Trevor Simeon in twenty 1113 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 3: twenty three as his quarterbacks. Again seven wins both of those. 1114 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 2: That's not enough, though, ericson Johnson. 1115 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 3: It's one of these things where I think that you 1116 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,919 Speaker 3: have to and he's have a player like does something 1117 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 3: with the Jets and then does something like and then 1118 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 3: removes himself from that situation. It's like, Wow, it really 1119 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 3: is not bad when you're not on the New York 1120 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 3: Jets anymore. So you know what I like it too. 1121 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: You know when the people were out in the game 1122 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 1: where you've seen on the walks with the weighted vest, 1123 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,439 Speaker 1: you know, and then he taken off here, I feel 1124 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: so much lighter. That's what it's like. 1125 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 3: And all the defensive additions they made John Fickly Myers, 1126 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 3: Jermain Johnson, Anthony Hill, Alante Taylor, Cordell Flott, Josh will Williams, 1127 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 3: Keatrick falk I. 1128 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 2: Adding half the giant step charge and. 1129 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,359 Speaker 3: They and they added I think they added the good 1130 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 3: pieces from the Jets that worked with Sala. They added 1131 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 3: the good pieces from Day Balls Giants. So you mix 1132 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 3: this all together and I think you got a division 1133 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 3: winner here. I know Deebro was waxing poetic about the weapons. 1134 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 3: It's not even just about the weapons, it's about the 1135 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 3: comparison to the weapons. Last year he was throwing two 1136 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,959 Speaker 3: rookie Day three picks as his two wide receivers because 1137 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,919 Speaker 3: Calvin really got hurt and honestly, like she married DK, 1138 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 3: like he flashed, and I think that is telling about 1139 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 3: cam Ward, who one of the guys, he's one of 1140 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 3: the core, is going to be on the Netflix Quarterback 1141 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 3: documentary this year. I'm so amped to watch out with 1142 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 3: Camore because it's gonna be him in All Ball. It's like, okay, 1143 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 3: well what are you gonna do today? I'm gonna watch 1144 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 3: film play football and the end that's it. Like I 1145 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 3: really feel like that's all he's going to do. And 1146 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 3: I think that's gonna show this season when he has 1147 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 3: a breakout and just getting him away from Callahan what 1148 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 3: the offensive setup was last year, last seven games, eleven touchdowns, 1149 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 3: won an new ension, Like he showed that. 1150 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: He was grew absolutely and he and he shows the work. 1151 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: I think there are things when you watch Kim Ward 1152 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: tape from college that you go, Okay, there's some stuff 1153 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: to fix there. You could see, you could see the 1154 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: skill level, you could see that there's something to work with. 1155 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: But I think, to me, the cam Ward story in 1156 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: the NFL is going to be one of the great 1157 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: stories of this is a worker. This is a guy 1158 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna outwork everybody else and he's gonna make up 1159 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,760 Speaker 1: some of those physical deficits that he might have compared 1160 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: to some other quarterbacks who could just do things easier 1161 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: than he does them. But he'll be able to actually 1162 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,479 Speaker 1: make more progress than some of those other quarterback because 1163 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 1: of his mindset and the work mentality. And I think 1164 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: that is going to be the separator for him. 1165 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 3: You know. 1166 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,960 Speaker 1: It's like like Derek Jeter. Okay, Derek Jeter was was 1167 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 1: never the most talented short stop of his era. He 1168 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: kind of just outworked everybody, and he had deficits on defense, 1169 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: he had deficits all that, but he has three thousand 1170 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: insities in the Hall of Fame, right Like That's the 1171 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: kind of thing. And I'm not saying, like, you know, 1172 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 1: cam Ward's in the Hall of Fame yet, and I 1173 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: want to put him there, but I'm saying it's like 1174 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: that kind of mentality. It was like, well, you know, 1175 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 1: Derek Jeter wasn't thirty five on runs every year, but 1176 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 1: Derek Jeter was a winner. And I think that's what 1177 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 1: cam Ward is. And I think that's going to rub off. 1178 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 1: And I think that combination of cam Ward with Robert 1179 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 1: sala is going to be a really fascinating one. So 1180 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 1: let's get to some of the numbers here on the titles. 1181 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 2: Before we dive into that. Sure, Ericson brought up one 1182 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 2: really good point that I want to expand on just 1183 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 2: a little bit. Sure Brian Callahan's system with a West 1184 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 2: Coast offense and adding asking cam Ward to play within 1185 00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: structure and go from one to two to three and 1186 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 2: get the ball out timely. That is a horrible marriage. 1187 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 2: Was a horrible marriage from the beginning of it. It 1188 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 2: was varrable putting him with Brian Daboll in the ability 1189 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,800 Speaker 2: that they're going to let him play outside of structure 1190 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 2: some more. They're gonna get him on the move. I'm 1191 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 2: not telling you he's gonna become like a true rushing quarterback. 1192 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 2: They are going to utilize his legs more and his 1193 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 2: off script ability. That is a perfect marriage too, Whereas 1194 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,879 Speaker 2: like Callahan, I don't know what the hell he was thinking, like, yeah, 1195 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 2: this quarterback is perfectly going to fit my system. No, 1196 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 2: it was horrible to begin with, but now I think 1197 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:28,839 Speaker 2: it's gonna be good. 1198 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: Let's see how good you think it's gonna be. Not 1199 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: for super Bowl, not for conference winner, forget all that 1200 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: division winner plus nine fifty Andrew Erickson, have you already 1201 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 1: bet it done? 1202 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 3: Yes?
