1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:27,986
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's up, everybody, We are here.

3
00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:30,786
Speaker 1: I feel like we've been walking in the desert for months.

4
00:00:30,866 --> 00:00:35,506
Speaker 1: We've been doing episodes from the Combine, We've been doing

5
00:00:35,546 --> 00:00:39,506
Speaker 1: episodes from the draft, and then there was that long

6
00:00:39,626 --> 00:00:45,866
Speaker 1: summer of just projections and hypotheticals and contract holdouts and

7
00:00:46,026 --> 00:00:51,186
Speaker 1: long explainers on the Dynamic Kickoff. There's been long explainers

8
00:00:51,186 --> 00:01:00,186
Speaker 1: on Hassan Reddick. We're here. Football is here. I'm sorry

9
00:01:00,226 --> 00:01:03,066
Speaker 1: if I didn't spend three weeks doing fantasy football prep

10
00:01:03,066 --> 00:01:07,186
Speaker 1: with you guys. I know that probably didn't help the listenership.

11
00:01:07,266 --> 00:01:10,306
Speaker 1: I know I could have had you know, Matthew Berry

12
00:01:10,426 --> 00:01:14,066
Speaker 1: or the underdog Fantasy guys on or someone, and we

13
00:01:14,106 --> 00:01:16,146
Speaker 1: could have pumped up the numbers. But I wasn't gonna

14
00:01:16,146 --> 00:01:18,506
Speaker 1: do you like that. You go elsewhere for that. You

15
00:01:18,586 --> 00:01:22,386
Speaker 1: find your fancy Fault podcast. If you're listening to this podcast,

16
00:01:22,626 --> 00:01:25,746
Speaker 1: it's for hardcore football, it's for analysiss for some of

17
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:30,386
Speaker 1: the best guests, and it's for my man, Aaron wang Kaufman. Aaron,

00:01:35,346 --> 00:01:37,986
Speaker 1: record this on a Tuesday. We are now forty eight

20
00:01:38,026 --> 00:01:42,146
Speaker 1: hours away. Are you excited or are you nervous and dreading?

21
00:01:42,226 --> 00:01:44,306
Speaker 1: As a Bills fan, I can imagine this is an

22
00:01:44,306 --> 00:01:46,426
Speaker 1: interesting time considering the offseason you guys had.

23
00:01:46,626 --> 00:01:49,586
Speaker 2: I mean I'm a little bit of both, partly because

24
00:01:49,826 --> 00:01:52,906
Speaker 2: later this evening, late this evening, I have my New

25
00:01:52,986 --> 00:01:56,706
Speaker 2: York City Fantasy League draft. Okay, so I haven't gotten

26
00:01:56,746 --> 00:01:58,426
Speaker 2: any any sleepers from.

27
00:01:59,946 --> 00:02:01,826
Speaker 1: A sleeper Shakir. I like him this year.

28
00:02:01,946 --> 00:02:04,106
Speaker 2: I mean, as a as a Bills fan, It's not

29
00:02:04,146 --> 00:02:08,186
Speaker 2: asleep because I've been all in on Sheer. No, I'm stoked.

30
00:02:08,426 --> 00:02:12,426
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I I'm really excited. I mean, just

31
00:02:12,546 --> 00:02:15,386
Speaker 2: from the Bill's perspective, playing against the Cardinals, who have

32
00:02:15,466 --> 00:02:18,986
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior, getting to see Trey McBride some more.

33
00:02:19,066 --> 00:02:21,466
Speaker 2: It's an exciting first week. I think there are a

34
00:02:21,506 --> 00:02:23,186
Speaker 2: lot of really exciting first games.

35
00:02:23,186 --> 00:02:26,146
Speaker 1: That first game is a trap game written all over it, Dude,

36
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:31,906
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, right Arizona. Arizona comes in everyone expecting Buffalo

37
00:02:31,946 --> 00:02:33,866
Speaker 1: to have an easy like that one's got trap game

38
00:02:33,906 --> 00:02:36,106
Speaker 1: written all over it. I hope they're not gonna take

39
00:02:36,106 --> 00:02:38,426
Speaker 1: that one for granted. That. By the way, those those

40
00:02:38,506 --> 00:02:41,106
Speaker 1: two teams. One of my favorite games in recent memory

41
00:02:41,226 --> 00:02:44,306
Speaker 1: was the Hail Murray Hail Murray. Those two teams went

42
00:02:44,346 --> 00:02:46,746
Speaker 1: at it, no doubt, I think that's cool, but.

43
00:02:46,826 --> 00:02:48,626
Speaker 2: One of my least favorite games. Yeah.

44
00:02:48,706 --> 00:02:51,426
Speaker 1: Whatever, the Bills figured it out that year. They were fine.

45
00:02:51,466 --> 00:02:55,866
Speaker 1: You guys went pretty far that season. All right. I'll

46
00:02:55,906 --> 00:02:57,626
Speaker 1: tell you one thing that was funny. You like this

47
00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:01,906
Speaker 1: and I can't out who it was and whatever. One

48
00:03:01,946 --> 00:03:04,146
Speaker 1: thing that I find it's very personal to me. Once

49
00:03:04,186 --> 00:03:05,986
Speaker 1: a year, I'll hear from people and it's like, yeah, bro,

50
00:03:06,066 --> 00:03:08,186
Speaker 1: I got my fantasy draft tonight, Like, give me some sleepers.

51
00:03:08,746 --> 00:03:11,986
Speaker 1: You okay, that's my response, bleep it if you have

52
00:03:12,066 --> 00:03:15,226
Speaker 1: to aaron you like I I hear you from you

53
00:03:15,266 --> 00:03:17,386
Speaker 1: once a year, dude, Like my fantasy draft tonight, got

54
00:03:17,386 --> 00:03:21,746
Speaker 1: any sleepers? Like there's nothing more insulting this, Like, no,

55
00:03:22,186 --> 00:03:24,986
Speaker 1: I don't and don't text me the day of your draft.

56
00:03:24,986 --> 00:03:26,426
Speaker 1: Do I have to know what? Do I what I

57
00:03:26,466 --> 00:03:29,146
Speaker 1: look like? No, so one guy did it and I

58
00:03:29,186 --> 00:03:30,786
Speaker 1: don't even know this guy. Well, like it's one of

59
00:03:30,786 --> 00:03:32,666
Speaker 1: those guys who like got my memories and he wasn't

60
00:03:32,706 --> 00:03:34,386
Speaker 1: even friendly in the text. He was like, got any

61
00:03:34,386 --> 00:03:37,066
Speaker 1: sleepers for my fantasy draft, and I wrote back draft

62
00:03:37,066 --> 00:03:41,426
Speaker 1: bo Williams late, no such player, no such player as

63
00:03:41,426 --> 00:03:45,506
Speaker 1: Bo Williams. I don't know anyone. And he didn't respond,

64
00:03:45,906 --> 00:03:47,906
Speaker 1: and then he wrote back thumbs up. So I don't

65
00:03:47,906 --> 00:03:52,226
Speaker 1: know if he took bo Williams. But that was my

66
00:03:52,266 --> 00:03:54,866
Speaker 1: favorite thing I did this week. So yeah, that was

67
00:03:54,946 --> 00:03:56,626
Speaker 1: that was good. That was a win. Some people just

68
00:03:56,626 --> 00:03:58,626
Speaker 1: didn't respond to And if you listen to the podcast,

69
00:03:58,666 --> 00:04:01,666
Speaker 1: I apologize, like I just it just it's it's really insulting.

70
00:04:01,866 --> 00:04:04,106
Speaker 1: The only thing worse is when someone texts me and says, hey,

71
00:04:04,426 --> 00:04:07,186
Speaker 1: I'm going to Bengals Chiefs. Can I on the field?

72
00:04:07,266 --> 00:04:09,226
Speaker 1: It's like a golf like. No, I don't do like

73
00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:13,306
Speaker 1: I don't work in the ticket office. No. Anyway, that's

74
00:04:13,346 --> 00:04:16,026
Speaker 1: my airing of grievances. If I'm seeming a little bit

75
00:04:16,066 --> 00:04:18,026
Speaker 1: on edge, it's because I am, once again in one

76
00:04:18,026 --> 00:04:21,346
Speaker 1: of these sleepless weeks. I am in Los Angeles and

77
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:24,826
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football starts at five am local. My alarm

78
00:04:24,866 --> 00:04:26,906
Speaker 1: goes off at two forty five am local. I am

79
00:04:26,946 --> 00:04:28,506
Speaker 1: blessed to do it. I get it. But when you

80
00:04:28,546 --> 00:04:31,346
Speaker 1: get to the middle of the week, and the world

81
00:04:31,426 --> 00:04:33,666
Speaker 1: just seems upside down. I don't think I have vertico,

82
00:04:33,746 --> 00:04:36,466
Speaker 1: but I might. And I also, you know, I can't

83
00:04:36,506 --> 00:04:38,626
Speaker 1: just go to sleep at three o'clock in the afternoon.

84
00:04:38,706 --> 00:04:42,426
Speaker 1: So I'm here, I'm delirious. We're recording this. I'm in LA.

85
00:04:42,826 --> 00:04:45,626
Speaker 1: Good morning. Football has been awesome this week Aaron's in

86
00:04:45,666 --> 00:04:50,506
Speaker 1: New York. I did have one cool experience, cool ass experience.

87
00:04:50,546 --> 00:04:52,506
Speaker 1: And you know, you might say you might not want

88
00:04:52,546 --> 00:04:55,506
Speaker 1: to share that with everybody. It's I met a guy.

89
00:04:55,986 --> 00:04:57,466
Speaker 1: The guy came up to me say he's a fan

90
00:04:57,506 --> 00:05:00,706
Speaker 1: of the show. His name is Kunall. Great dude. Kunall

91
00:05:00,866 --> 00:05:03,106
Speaker 1: was like, I'm living La. If you ever want to

92
00:05:03,106 --> 00:05:05,666
Speaker 1: play an amazing golf course, I'm a member at a

93
00:05:05,666 --> 00:05:08,546
Speaker 1: golf club. You're welcome to play with me. And not

94
00:05:08,666 --> 00:05:10,946
Speaker 1: a moment too soon with I said, yeah, I'm actually

95
00:05:10,986 --> 00:05:13,506
Speaker 1: coming to La Monday, Like, can I play this golf course?

96
00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:16,386
Speaker 1: I got to play bell Air on Monday, which is

97
00:05:16,386 --> 00:05:20,066
Speaker 1: one of the top courses in the entire world. I

98
00:05:20,066 --> 00:05:23,426
Speaker 1: didn't play well, but as a novice golfer, this was

99
00:05:23,506 --> 00:05:27,706
Speaker 1: like like check mark another bucket list moment. I loved it.

100
00:05:27,906 --> 00:05:31,106
Speaker 1: Kunal and two of his buddies and me. I probably

101
00:05:31,146 --> 00:05:35,386
Speaker 1: shot a one fifty horrible, but this was the coolest

102
00:05:35,426 --> 00:05:38,066
Speaker 1: course I've ever played on. Can I explain? There are

103
00:05:38,586 --> 00:05:41,866
Speaker 1: tunnels throughout this thing. There is a bridge called the

104
00:05:41,946 --> 00:05:45,186
Speaker 1: Swinging Bridge that is like a shaky bridge that connects it.

105
00:05:46,546 --> 00:05:50,986
Speaker 1: Awesome course, ton of history, many famous members. I don't

106
00:05:50,986 --> 00:05:53,466
Speaker 1: know how these country club rules work. I'm allowed to

107
00:05:53,466 --> 00:05:56,186
Speaker 1: mention the members. I don't know. But I was there

108
00:05:56,226 --> 00:05:58,266
Speaker 1: for the golf baby and it was great, and then

109
00:05:58,266 --> 00:06:02,986
Speaker 1: I had a delicious chopsalad afterwards in the clubhouse. Again

110
00:06:03,226 --> 00:06:06,346
Speaker 1: no pictures allowed and no social media, which I think

111
00:06:06,426 --> 00:06:08,066
Speaker 1: it was kind of cool. I wish the world was

112
00:06:08,106 --> 00:06:11,066
Speaker 1: more like that sometimes, so I have no picture of

113
00:06:11,106 --> 00:06:13,666
Speaker 1: me like putting in a cool shot. It also didn't happen.

114
00:06:13,706 --> 00:06:15,866
Speaker 1: I didn't make any cool putts. I played pretty terribly,

115
00:06:15,986 --> 00:06:21,106
Speaker 1: but again, very fun. The one thing was, you know,

116
00:06:21,346 --> 00:06:24,026
Speaker 1: I would have preferred probably taken a cart. I walked

117
00:06:24,026 --> 00:06:25,346
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's a ton of hills and I

118
00:06:25,346 --> 00:06:28,066
Speaker 1: didn't bring my golf shoes our golf club. So couonall

119
00:06:28,226 --> 00:06:30,986
Speaker 1: great dude, couonall hooks me up and it's like I

120
00:06:31,066 --> 00:06:34,586
Speaker 1: got you same size shoe you'll wear mine. I was

121
00:06:34,626 --> 00:06:38,466
Speaker 1: in so much pain. I walked twenty six thousand steps yesterday.

122
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:41,586
Speaker 1: It seems like a lot, right, it seems like a lot.

123
00:06:41,626 --> 00:06:46,506
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's that's maybe. Uh. I don't know

124
00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:50,506
Speaker 2: how many miles. About twelve miles.

125
00:06:50,306 --> 00:06:52,706
Speaker 1: Is that right? I walked twelve miles. Yeah, that's a lot.

126
00:06:52,866 --> 00:06:56,506
Speaker 1: That's a lot of walking. Yeah. It's good. Yeah, and

127
00:06:56,546 --> 00:06:59,386
Speaker 1: it was fun. But like I'm toast today, we did

128
00:06:59,426 --> 00:07:03,106
Speaker 1: the show Good Morning Football. Was great, and then I

00:08:27,026 --> 00:08:29,706
Speaker 1: it on Good Morning Football. And I understand that everyone's

155
00:08:29,866 --> 00:08:32,226
Speaker 1: watching Good Morning Football on Thursday. Some of you work

156
00:08:33,146 --> 00:08:34,946
Speaker 1: and you can't be in front of a television, which

157
00:08:34,986 --> 00:08:39,466
Speaker 1: is respectable. I appreciate employment in this world. I'm gonna

158
00:08:39,466 --> 00:08:41,466
Speaker 1: do a little separate pod and I'll talk about my

159
00:08:41,506 --> 00:08:44,386
Speaker 1: Super Bowl pick, which as we know, has taken on

160
00:08:44,466 --> 00:08:46,546
Speaker 1: a life of its own and there's great pressure behind

161
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:48,546
Speaker 1: it before I even get to the super Bowl. Pick Aaron.

162
00:08:49,626 --> 00:08:52,906
Speaker 1: I have two like alternate approaches to this, one of

163
00:08:52,946 --> 00:08:57,346
Speaker 1: them being this crazy off the waw off like the like,

164
00:08:58,106 --> 00:09:00,426
Speaker 1: I have two teams I really like that are not

165
00:09:01,106 --> 00:09:02,426
Speaker 1: everybody like. I kind of want to put them in

166
00:09:02,426 --> 00:09:04,426
Speaker 1: the playoffs and just fine, and then I kind of

167
00:09:04,426 --> 00:09:05,746
Speaker 1: want to put them in the super Bowl and just

168
00:09:05,786 --> 00:09:08,866
Speaker 1: shock everyone, oh and be like drop the mic. You

169
00:09:08,906 --> 00:09:10,546
Speaker 1: want to know who knows something? I know something. I'm

170
00:09:10,586 --> 00:09:11,866
Speaker 1: a soothsayer. I get it right every year. And I'm

171
00:09:11,866 --> 00:09:13,826
Speaker 1: gonna give you these two teams. And then I've got

172
00:09:13,826 --> 00:09:18,266
Speaker 1: two picks, two safer choices still to pick the right

173
00:09:18,306 --> 00:09:23,426
Speaker 1: super Bowl. There's no Yeah, I've done it last several years,

174
00:09:23,546 --> 00:09:26,866
Speaker 1: but I've got two more safer ones. And you know,

175
00:09:27,146 --> 00:09:30,546
Speaker 1: career wise, is it better to keep this thing going

176
00:09:30,626 --> 00:09:32,826
Speaker 1: and pick maybe the more or is it better take

177
00:09:32,866 --> 00:09:36,266
Speaker 1: the big ass swing and say is it. I'm going

178
00:09:36,386 --> 00:09:38,666
Speaker 1: with this one because I just feel like this year

179
00:09:38,746 --> 00:09:40,906
Speaker 1: is going to be crazy and these two teams are

180
00:09:40,946 --> 00:09:43,226
Speaker 1: the ones I'm into. And everyone just blow their mind

181
00:09:43,266 --> 00:09:45,906
Speaker 1: and say, Shreger's crazy, but Shreker's always right. But Shreker's crazy,

182
00:09:46,026 --> 00:09:47,866
Speaker 1: but Shreker's always right. What do you think? Eron where

183
00:09:47,906 --> 00:09:48,266
Speaker 1: do I go?

184
00:09:49,346 --> 00:09:52,426
Speaker 2: I mean, I would suggest getting a good night's sleep,

185
00:09:52,546 --> 00:09:54,866
Speaker 2: maybe making the pick, not on a day that you

186
00:09:54,946 --> 00:09:57,346
Speaker 2: just walk twenty six miles yep or twenty two miles

187
00:09:57,386 --> 00:10:01,986
Speaker 2: whatever it was yep, Because yeah, I think it's cool

188
00:10:02,026 --> 00:10:07,026
Speaker 2: to make an exciting choice, but you are You're known

189
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:09,506
Speaker 2: for making the right one, so I know, you know,

190
00:10:09,746 --> 00:10:12,466
Speaker 2: I think I think it's if you believe that these

191
00:10:12,506 --> 00:10:16,666
Speaker 2: two outlandish choices actually could be correct, and like there's

192
00:10:16,706 --> 00:10:19,386
Speaker 2: a good chance. Yeah, I mean that could go for it.

193
00:10:19,426 --> 00:10:20,786
Speaker 1: But okay, so I'm going to think about you, right,

194
00:10:20,866 --> 00:10:23,826
Speaker 1: take a good night's rest. It's like I'm in one

195
00:10:23,866 --> 00:10:27,266
Speaker 1: of these hotels that's on the highway, uh and as

196
00:10:27,306 --> 00:10:32,506
Speaker 1: glam as glamorous as that sounds like, I go Table

197
00:10:32,546 --> 00:10:34,586
Speaker 1: for One for dinner at four thirty when I'm in

198
00:10:34,746 --> 00:10:36,906
Speaker 1: LA because I got to get to sleep somehow and

199
00:10:36,986 --> 00:10:40,986
Speaker 1: it's bright out and it's like I tonight, I'm planning

200
00:10:40,986 --> 00:10:44,146
Speaker 1: on walking across the street to a chain restaurant that

201
00:10:44,186 --> 00:10:45,946
Speaker 1: I will not mention that we all know and love

202
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:49,826
Speaker 1: Table for one and like seriously sitting down and writing

203
00:10:49,866 --> 00:10:51,666
Speaker 1: with a pendon pad table for one sat as it

204
00:10:51,666 --> 00:10:55,386
Speaker 1: could be, and like pros and cons of like which

205
00:10:55,426 --> 00:10:58,426
Speaker 1: way to go of going big swing and you know,

206
00:10:58,546 --> 00:11:01,546
Speaker 1: trying to make headlines but also believing in both these teams,

207
00:11:02,066 --> 00:11:04,626
Speaker 1: or let's try to get this thing right and knowing

208
00:11:04,706 --> 00:11:06,986
Speaker 1: that there's a far greater chance that these two other

209
00:11:07,026 --> 00:11:09,466
Speaker 1: teams are gonna make it. We'll see, you know. Uh,

210
00:11:09,786 --> 00:11:13,026
Speaker 1: fortune favors the bold, but fortune also favors getting things

211
00:11:13,106 --> 00:11:21,786
Speaker 1: right five years in a row. Whatever else. All right,

212
00:11:22,106 --> 00:11:25,786
Speaker 1: let's do some awards, let's let's do some let's do

213
00:11:25,866 --> 00:11:29,066
Speaker 1: some suits saying let's do some predictions. Aaron, here's how

214
00:11:29,066 --> 00:11:30,586
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. I'm gonna set this up and

215
00:11:30,626 --> 00:11:33,266
Speaker 1: I will break the fourth wall. I was debating do

216
00:11:33,306 --> 00:11:35,626
Speaker 1: we want to bring on a guest this week? And

217
00:11:35,706 --> 00:11:38,266
Speaker 1: like preview the season, I was thinking, do I want

218
00:11:38,306 --> 00:11:39,706
Speaker 1: to bring on a coach? Because I could have gotten

219
00:11:39,706 --> 00:11:41,746
Speaker 1: a bunch of coaches this week because it's early in

220
00:11:41,786 --> 00:11:43,586
Speaker 1: the week and they don't play all Sunday, and like

221
00:11:43,826 --> 00:11:45,626
Speaker 1: we could have done the big you know, deep dive

222
00:11:45,666 --> 00:11:49,626
Speaker 1: on you know, Brian Callahan or Zach Taylor and really

223
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:51,266
Speaker 1: gotten to it. But then I'm like that's so focused

224
00:11:51,266 --> 00:11:53,906
Speaker 1: on one team usually when we have on those guests, Like,

225
00:11:54,186 --> 00:11:57,506
Speaker 1: I don't think we're looking to do that. Instead, let's

226
00:11:57,506 --> 00:12:00,306
Speaker 1: go big picture, let's go predictions, and let's you and

227
00:12:00,426 --> 00:12:02,306
Speaker 1: me do it. I think it's enough of a cool

228
00:12:02,346 --> 00:12:05,946
Speaker 1: episode where it's Aaron and Peter Peter and Aaron's predictions

229
00:12:05,946 --> 00:12:07,946
Speaker 1: and I don't know what you've got up your sleeve.

230
00:12:08,106 --> 00:12:10,186
Speaker 1: I know you've spent all day to day going through

231
00:12:10,186 --> 00:12:14,666
Speaker 1: these things, and I've been doing the work myself over

232
00:12:14,666 --> 00:12:19,146
Speaker 1: the last several weeks. Let's start off with my offensive

233
00:12:19,226 --> 00:12:23,746
Speaker 1: rookie of the year. I just got done spending the

234
00:12:23,906 --> 00:12:26,666
Speaker 1: entire summer on the phones with all of these coaches,

235
00:12:26,706 --> 00:12:29,706
Speaker 1: and I've been so dialed in on a lot of

236
00:12:29,706 --> 00:12:32,666
Speaker 1: the rookie performances that I think this might be one

237
00:12:32,706 --> 00:12:35,706
Speaker 1: of those rare, really good rookie classes. That's not a shocker,

238
00:12:35,706 --> 00:12:38,306
Speaker 1: but I'm talking like one that was as good as

239
00:12:38,346 --> 00:12:43,346
Speaker 1: like that class that had Herbert and two and Jefferson

240
00:12:43,706 --> 00:12:45,786
Speaker 1: and Cede Lamb. Like, I think we're looking at one

241
00:12:45,786 --> 00:12:49,186
Speaker 1: of those psycho classes. Yeah, forgot Burrow. He was the

242
00:12:49,226 --> 00:12:52,186
Speaker 1: first pick in that draft. It's been a while, though,

243
00:12:52,226 --> 00:12:53,706
Speaker 1: like we've had a bunch of drafts with a bunch

244
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:55,466
Speaker 1: of quarterback whiffs. I don't think we're gonna get it.

245
00:12:55,866 --> 00:12:58,106
Speaker 1: I think three quarterbacks in particular are going to be

246
00:12:58,186 --> 00:13:00,106
Speaker 1: very good this year. I think Caleb's going to be good.

247
00:13:00,106 --> 00:13:01,586
Speaker 1: I think Nicks is going to be good, and I

248
00:13:01,586 --> 00:13:03,426
Speaker 1: think Jayden Daniel is going to be good. But I

249
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:04,666
Speaker 1: think one of them is going to be the better

250
00:13:04,746 --> 00:13:06,426
Speaker 1: one of all of them. And that's my breakout player

251
00:13:06,466 --> 00:13:08,666
Speaker 1: of the year. It's a guy, no secret I've fallen

252
00:13:08,706 --> 00:13:10,706
Speaker 1: in love with. He's got crazy joints that he can

253
00:13:10,746 --> 00:13:13,426
Speaker 1: do these wild dances with his elbows. I'm talking about

254
00:13:13,506 --> 00:13:16,706
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels and Washington. That's my offensive rookie of the year.

255
00:13:16,746 --> 00:13:20,306
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna uplift everybody in that market. And

256
00:13:20,346 --> 00:13:22,986
Speaker 1: what's gonna be an interesting thing. There's gonna be a

257
00:13:23,066 --> 00:13:25,826
Speaker 1: duality going on. You're gonna have this great story of

258
00:13:25,906 --> 00:13:28,146
Speaker 1: the Commanders being a surprise team in the NFC, and

259
00:13:28,186 --> 00:13:29,666
Speaker 1: I don't know if they go to the playoffs, but

260
00:13:29,666 --> 00:13:31,226
Speaker 1: they're gonna be good this year. I think they're gonna

261
00:13:31,226 --> 00:13:34,466
Speaker 1: be better and Daniels is gonna wow you every weekend, and

262
00:13:34,466 --> 00:13:37,146
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have this bat crazy election going on

263
00:13:37,146 --> 00:13:40,026
Speaker 1: at the same time in DC. So you've got great

264
00:13:40,066 --> 00:13:44,706
Speaker 1: football story and likely wild election season going on, and

265
00:13:44,746 --> 00:13:46,786
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be going on in the Beltway. I

266
00:13:46,786 --> 00:13:51,146
Speaker 1: think Daniels might steal some headlines from both presidential candidates

267
00:13:51,186 --> 00:13:54,146
Speaker 1: and their vice presidents. I think it's gonna be the

268
00:13:54,226 --> 00:13:56,826
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels show in DC. And we've been through this.

269
00:13:57,106 --> 00:13:59,986
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin. That rookie year was a sensation and it

270
00:14:00,066 --> 00:14:01,906
Speaker 1: was a blast to watch, and it was such a

271
00:14:01,906 --> 00:14:04,026
Speaker 1: thrill and we know how it all went down afterwards.

272
00:14:04,266 --> 00:14:07,026
Speaker 1: But that first year, right out of the gates New Orleans,

273
00:14:07,026 --> 00:14:08,866
Speaker 1: he throws the touchdown, he's on his back, he does

274
00:14:08,866 --> 00:14:10,986
Speaker 1: that whole thing. I think Jayden Daniel is gonna be

275
00:14:11,026 --> 00:14:13,906
Speaker 1: something similar in his first year. And I think in

276
00:14:13,946 --> 00:14:16,066
Speaker 1: his first game he might come out of the out

277
00:14:16,066 --> 00:14:18,746
Speaker 1: of the gates just firing away and making things happen.

278
00:14:18,826 --> 00:14:22,826
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Jaden Daniels as my offensive rookie

279
00:14:22,866 --> 00:14:24,946
Speaker 1: of the Year. Aaron, you're on the clock, who do

280
00:14:25,026 --> 00:14:25,386
Speaker 1: you say?

281
00:14:25,586 --> 00:14:27,506
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go a little more chalk. I think I'm

282
00:14:27,506 --> 00:14:32,946
Speaker 2: gonna go with Caleb because I think he has There's

283
00:14:32,986 --> 00:14:35,666
Speaker 2: been plenty of narrative already about he has such an

284
00:14:35,706 --> 00:14:38,666
Speaker 2: incredible setup on the offensive side. He's got all these

285
00:14:38,666 --> 00:14:42,346
Speaker 2: weapons to play with. Dj Moore, Keenan Allen, who you

286
00:14:42,386 --> 00:14:45,866
Speaker 2: know used to be We mentioned him earlier justin Herbert's

287
00:14:45,906 --> 00:14:49,346
Speaker 2: safety blanket, and now Caleb has him. And I just

288
00:14:49,426 --> 00:14:52,946
Speaker 2: think the connection between Caleb and Rome. I think we're

289
00:14:52,986 --> 00:14:55,746
Speaker 2: gonna be talking about it a lot as the year progresses,

290
00:14:55,826 --> 00:14:59,226
Speaker 2: and I I just can't wait for Caleb to get

291
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:02,186
Speaker 2: a couple short passes in and then take a long

292
00:15:02,266 --> 00:15:04,946
Speaker 2: bomb down to Rome on the sideline and like just

293
00:15:04,986 --> 00:15:07,906
Speaker 2: some highlight plays. So I I think Caleb is my

294
00:15:08,066 --> 00:15:09,466
Speaker 2: choice for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

295
00:15:09,546 --> 00:15:11,546
Speaker 1: I love it all right, Defensive Rookie of the Year,

296
00:15:11,626 --> 00:15:16,346
Speaker 1: not as not as glamorous of a gig. I couldn't

297
00:15:16,346 --> 00:15:18,626
Speaker 1: tell you offhand, and maybe you can google it for me.

298
00:15:19,066 --> 00:15:21,386
Speaker 1: My brain is fried who won it last year? I

299
00:15:21,426 --> 00:15:25,066
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like it's probably a household name,

300
00:15:25,226 --> 00:15:28,186
Speaker 1: but you know, as you google, it was it ya

301
00:15:28,346 --> 00:15:30,146
Speaker 1: ya d Yabi? Was it Brian was young?

302
00:15:30,226 --> 00:15:32,586
Speaker 2: It was with Houston's Will Anderson.

303
00:15:32,706 --> 00:15:36,306
Speaker 1: Yeah, solid, Like no one's got Will Anderson winning Defensive

304
00:15:36,306 --> 00:15:37,986
Speaker 1: Player of the Year This year. It's not like he was.

305
00:15:38,306 --> 00:15:40,466
Speaker 1: It's really hard as a rookie to like be a

306
00:15:40,546 --> 00:15:43,066
Speaker 1: huge breakout player on defense. I think Chase Young was

307
00:15:43,066 --> 00:15:46,186
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Michael Parsons was, But like offensive

308
00:15:46,266 --> 00:15:48,746
Speaker 1: is like every kid's buying your jersey. Defensive, it's like,

309
00:15:48,746 --> 00:15:50,426
Speaker 1: all right, that was a good start to your career.

310
00:15:50,426 --> 00:15:54,186
Speaker 1: It's really hard to dominate. Year one. My defensive rookie

311
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:55,506
Speaker 1: of the year. I go to the La Rams. I

312
00:15:55,506 --> 00:15:59,146
Speaker 1: go Jared Verse, the pass rusher out of Florida State.

313
00:15:59,226 --> 00:16:02,706
Speaker 1: Cool story with him. Started off at Albany as a

314
00:16:02,746 --> 00:16:05,786
Speaker 1: Great Dane his first two years at the University of Albany,

315
00:16:05,866 --> 00:16:09,826
Speaker 1: transfer to Florida State, had an awesome career. Two time

316
00:16:09,946 --> 00:16:13,746
Speaker 1: All American, two time All acc goes without saying, and

317
00:16:13,946 --> 00:16:17,226
Speaker 1: he was the nineteenth overall pick and was outstanding during

318
00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:20,186
Speaker 1: the summer workouts and I was at practice for the Rams.

319
00:16:20,226 --> 00:16:24,146
Speaker 1: He's flying all over the field. Interesting draft in that

320
00:16:24,226 --> 00:16:27,786
Speaker 1: the first fifteen players, I want to say, maybe the

321
00:16:27,826 --> 00:16:31,146
Speaker 1: first fourteen players were all offensive players. So this isn't

322
00:16:31,146 --> 00:16:33,866
Speaker 1: a big defensive rookie class. As far as household names go.

323
00:16:34,026 --> 00:16:37,026
Speaker 1: There are guys which makes it wide open for defensive

324
00:16:37,066 --> 00:16:39,826
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year and Aaron. If I'm going Jared Verse,

325
00:16:39,826 --> 00:16:41,026
Speaker 1: who are you going? That's yours?

326
00:16:42,346 --> 00:16:45,546
Speaker 2: So I'm going with Terry and Arnold. Okay, cornerback for

327
00:16:45,586 --> 00:16:48,706
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. I think that that is a position

328
00:16:48,786 --> 00:16:52,266
Speaker 2: that they really blatantly needed, and I think if he

329
00:16:52,306 --> 00:16:54,946
Speaker 2: can step it up and that defense plays well, there

330
00:16:54,986 --> 00:16:59,466
Speaker 2: will be such a great narrative for him. Because everyone

331
00:16:59,546 --> 00:17:01,706
Speaker 2: is so hyped about the Lions already that if they

332
00:17:01,706 --> 00:17:03,986
Speaker 2: can clean up some of their weaknesses from last year,

333
00:17:04,026 --> 00:17:08,026
Speaker 2: I think it will really stand out. I I do

334
00:17:08,186 --> 00:17:10,906
Speaker 2: really like Jared Verse. I'm a little worried that he's

335
00:17:10,946 --> 00:17:11,986
Speaker 2: going to get compared to Aaron.

336
00:17:12,586 --> 00:17:15,626
Speaker 3: He's outside, He's outside. It's totally I know, I know,

337
00:17:15,706 --> 00:17:19,106
Speaker 3: but they're losing. They lost the chat. The specter of

338
00:17:19,146 --> 00:17:23,866
Speaker 3: Aaron Donald hangs over that defense. Fair I almost picked

339
00:17:24,226 --> 00:17:26,906
Speaker 3: Quinny on Mitchell, so I don't know. If maybe I'm

340
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:30,866
Speaker 3: just a cornerback guy. I do think that he also

341
00:17:30,946 --> 00:17:32,626
Speaker 3: could do really well. But I think there's a lot

342
00:17:33,226 --> 00:17:35,906
Speaker 3: more we're concerned about on the offensive side for the Eagles,

343
00:17:35,906 --> 00:17:38,306
Speaker 3: whereas like with the Lions, we kind of know what

344
00:17:38,346 --> 00:17:40,546
Speaker 3: that offense is and I think we're going to be

345
00:17:40,546 --> 00:17:43,626
Speaker 3: really excited about they that's the most good.

346
00:17:43,226 --> 00:17:45,146
Speaker 1: All right. So we've got our offensive rookie of the year,

347
00:17:45,186 --> 00:17:48,066
Speaker 1: our defensive rookie of the year. The next will be the

348
00:17:48,106 --> 00:17:52,386
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year. Last year it was Miles Garrett.

349
00:17:52,386 --> 00:17:54,426
Speaker 1: He had an outstanding season. Many thought it should have

350
00:17:54,426 --> 00:17:56,106
Speaker 1: been t J. Watt. Others said it should have been

351
00:17:56,146 --> 00:18:00,306
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons. There are so many good defensive players in

352
00:18:00,346 --> 00:18:03,666
Speaker 1: this league, So where are we going to go for

353
00:18:03,746 --> 00:18:07,226
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year. I'm going to go with

354
00:18:07,426 --> 00:18:10,706
Speaker 1: a long shot. Sometimes you have to swing big and

355
00:18:10,746 --> 00:18:13,746
Speaker 1: a guy who's just physically gifted in a way that

356
00:18:13,906 --> 00:18:16,106
Speaker 1: few guys are, and someone who I think is gonna

357
00:18:16,106 --> 00:18:18,426
Speaker 1: put up huge sack numbers this year as he's finally

358
00:18:18,466 --> 00:18:21,786
Speaker 1: fully healthy. My defensive player of the year pick, I'm

359
00:18:21,786 --> 00:18:26,466
Speaker 1: going to Green Bay. I'm going with Rashan Gary as

360
00:18:26,546 --> 00:18:32,946
Speaker 1: my defensive player of the year. A sack machine and

361
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:35,586
Speaker 1: a guy who's finally gonna put it all together. He

362
00:18:35,706 --> 00:18:38,346
Speaker 1: was one of Matt Lafleur's first ever draft picks. And

363
00:18:38,386 --> 00:18:40,586
Speaker 1: I think Rashawon Gary, who I don't see listen in

364
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:43,186
Speaker 1: the top twenty names on these lists, is going to

365
00:18:43,266 --> 00:18:46,026
Speaker 1: win Defensive Player of the Year. That is my pick. Ooh.

366
00:18:46,146 --> 00:18:48,946
Speaker 2: I like that. That's another team where I feel like

367
00:18:49,066 --> 00:18:52,386
Speaker 2: everyone is in love with Jordan Love and the offense

368
00:18:52,826 --> 00:18:55,626
Speaker 2: and bringing up a defensive guy like that is great.

369
00:18:55,906 --> 00:18:57,266
Speaker 2: I'm very into.

370
00:18:56,986 --> 00:18:59,106
Speaker 1: That, Okay. So that tells you how I feel about

371
00:18:59,106 --> 00:19:01,546
Speaker 1: the Packers this year. If I'm thinking Rashawn Gary would

372
00:19:01,546 --> 00:19:04,306
Speaker 1: be Defensive Player of the Year, that was way off

373
00:19:04,386 --> 00:19:07,786
Speaker 1: the board. Sometimes you got to do that who you taking.

374
00:19:08,146 --> 00:19:11,666
Speaker 2: So I was tempted by Miles Garrett again yep, and

375
00:19:11,866 --> 00:19:14,386
Speaker 2: also TJ Watt. I think that you know, those two

376
00:19:14,506 --> 00:19:17,506
Speaker 2: are are gonna be on this list of potential defensive

377
00:19:17,506 --> 00:19:19,946
Speaker 2: Player of the Years for years to come. And I

378
00:19:19,946 --> 00:19:21,946
Speaker 2: think the other guy on that list is Michael Parsons.

379
00:19:22,426 --> 00:19:25,266
Speaker 2: And I think this year I'm gonna go with Michael Parsons.

380
00:19:26,546 --> 00:19:30,946
Speaker 2: I think we have a lot of discussion about DAK

381
00:19:31,026 --> 00:19:34,786
Speaker 2: and CD just signed. Finally, what's gonna happen with Dak's contract?

382
00:19:35,026 --> 00:19:37,026
Speaker 2: And I think Michael Parsons is gonna come out and

383
00:19:37,106 --> 00:19:40,106
Speaker 2: he's gonna remind everyone that there's another side of that

384
00:19:40,186 --> 00:19:43,306
Speaker 2: team and they are very very good.

385
00:19:43,586 --> 00:19:47,746
Speaker 1: MICHAEH. Parsons is like also in that contract like negotiation thing,

386
00:19:47,826 --> 00:19:50,746
Speaker 1: and you've got this situation where it's like CD got his,

387
00:19:51,506 --> 00:19:54,826
Speaker 1: DAK got his. Is Mike gonna play with his, you know,

388
00:19:54,906 --> 00:19:57,106
Speaker 1: with his ass on fire? He might like he might,

389
00:19:57,186 --> 00:19:59,106
Speaker 1: he might just be completely on him. But I thought

390
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:01,546
Speaker 1: last year he kind of got lost a little bit

391
00:20:01,546 --> 00:20:05,186
Speaker 1: in the TJ. Watt Miles Garrett discussion. Was kind of

392
00:20:05,226 --> 00:20:07,906
Speaker 1: considered a third guy, and you know, I wonder if

393
00:20:07,906 --> 00:20:09,026
Speaker 1: that motivates him as well.

394
00:20:09,386 --> 00:20:12,026
Speaker 2: All right, who do you have for your Offensive Player

395
00:20:12,026 --> 00:20:12,426
Speaker 2: of the Year.

396
00:20:12,626 --> 00:20:15,986
Speaker 1: That's such a silly Yeah, I'm gonna say Bjeon Robinson

397
00:20:16,066 --> 00:20:18,306
Speaker 1: his mind. But like, I don't even care about this award.

398
00:20:18,786 --> 00:20:21,586
Speaker 1: I don't care, Like I think this award is dumb.

399
00:20:21,946 --> 00:20:24,866
Speaker 1: You've got your MVP, and then you know the MVP

400
00:20:24,986 --> 00:20:26,946
Speaker 1: is not going to be defensive player. Lawrence Taylor was

401
00:20:26,946 --> 00:20:29,786
Speaker 1: the last one to actually like win MVP and that

402
00:20:29,826 --> 00:20:31,666
Speaker 1: was in eighty six. And then you have your defensive player.

403
00:20:31,666 --> 00:20:33,586
Speaker 1: But like, here's the MVP, and then you have your

404
00:20:33,626 --> 00:20:37,666
Speaker 1: offensive player, which is basically like everyone the second place,

405
00:20:37,706 --> 00:20:39,546
Speaker 1: but like not a quarterback. And then some years they

406
00:20:39,586 --> 00:20:42,786
Speaker 1: give it to quarterback. So I'm gonna say this is

407
00:20:42,826 --> 00:20:44,786
Speaker 1: a dumb award. They should do away with it, or

408
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:49,066
Speaker 1: they should call it non quarterback best non Quarterback. And

409
00:20:49,066 --> 00:20:51,106
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go be Jeon Robinson, who I've already told

410
00:20:51,106 --> 00:20:52,306
Speaker 1: you I think is going to like tear up the

411
00:20:52,386 --> 00:20:53,026
Speaker 1: league this year.

412
00:20:53,306 --> 00:20:56,586
Speaker 2: I love Bijon. He's one of my favorite players. I

413
00:20:56,626 --> 00:20:59,186
Speaker 2: love him in interviews. I love watching him run the

414
00:20:59,426 --> 00:21:01,386
Speaker 2: I think I even mentioned this last time when you

415
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:02,866
Speaker 2: brought him up the skycam.

416
00:21:02,986 --> 00:21:05,626
Speaker 1: We get to watch him the catch.

417
00:21:06,146 --> 00:21:10,826
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, amazing. I'll just really quickly. I'm

418
00:21:10,826 --> 00:21:12,466
Speaker 2: gonna go with a guy I just mentioned. I'm gonna

419
00:21:12,506 --> 00:21:15,466
Speaker 2: go with Ceedee Lamb. I think, Okay, the Cowboys. I

420
00:21:15,506 --> 00:21:19,466
Speaker 2: think he especially in a time when the other kind

421
00:21:19,466 --> 00:21:22,586
Speaker 2: of premiere wide receivers. You got Jefferson, who's going to

422
00:21:22,626 --> 00:21:26,546
Speaker 2: get used to Sam Darnold, and you've got Jordan Addison,

423
00:21:26,546 --> 00:21:29,306
Speaker 2: You've got t J. Hopkinson, he's got other guys flanking him,

424
00:21:29,346 --> 00:21:32,986
Speaker 2: and then you've got Jamar Chase who is not practicing yet.

425
00:21:33,666 --> 00:21:36,426
Speaker 2: Burrow is back from injury, but we'll see how long

426
00:21:36,466 --> 00:21:39,146
Speaker 2: he lasts. Higgins is going to be fighting for his contract.

427
00:21:39,226 --> 00:21:40,986
Speaker 2: I think CD is just going to go out there

428
00:21:41,026 --> 00:21:43,826
Speaker 2: and be He's it. He's that often. I love it,

429
00:21:43,986 --> 00:21:45,626
Speaker 2: so I think he's gonna step it up.

430
00:21:45,706 --> 00:21:48,586
Speaker 1: Are you at all concerned about the fact he didn't

431
00:21:48,586 --> 00:21:50,586
Speaker 1: have a proper training camp that like the first three

432
00:21:50,626 --> 00:21:52,626
Speaker 1: weeks he comes in out of shape and maybe isn't

433
00:21:52,626 --> 00:21:54,266
Speaker 1: what he was at the end of last season where

434
00:21:54,266 --> 00:21:55,146
Speaker 1: he was unstoppable.

435
00:21:56,106 --> 00:21:59,746
Speaker 2: Yes. Do I wish that Jerry Jones had just gotten

436
00:21:59,786 --> 00:22:02,106
Speaker 2: all that done right away? Seed he could have had

437
00:22:02,106 --> 00:22:02,786
Speaker 2: the training camp?

438
00:22:02,986 --> 00:22:15,226
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, Okay, now we're getting into a different position,

439
00:22:15,266 --> 00:22:17,386
Speaker 4: which is basically an indicator of how you're feeling on

440
00:22:17,426 --> 00:22:17,906
Speaker 4: the season.

441
00:22:18,386 --> 00:22:22,426
Speaker 1: Coach of the year. My coach of the year is

442
00:22:22,506 --> 00:22:26,666
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald of the Seattle Seahawks. I think not to

443
00:22:26,706 --> 00:22:29,666
Speaker 1: be confused with Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers and

444
00:22:29,666 --> 00:22:31,906
Speaker 1: his own solo career which was so magical. What a

445
00:22:31,946 --> 00:22:35,986
Speaker 1: full believes I'm gonna say, Mike McDonald Seahawks, I've done

446
00:22:36,026 --> 00:22:38,626
Speaker 1: this spiel before. I think they've got a real different

447
00:22:38,666 --> 00:22:41,106
Speaker 1: spirit going. And Pete was great. Pete was an energy guy.

448
00:22:41,146 --> 00:22:42,666
Speaker 1: Pete was a vibes guy. Everyone love Pete. But this

449
00:22:42,746 --> 00:22:44,426
Speaker 1: is like a different deal. They bring it in a

450
00:22:44,466 --> 00:22:46,746
Speaker 1: younger guy thirty seven years old, He's got with him

451
00:22:46,746 --> 00:22:49,306
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator from the college game and Grubs, and like,

452
00:22:49,586 --> 00:22:52,146
Speaker 1: what I love is that he comes in and he's

453
00:22:52,186 --> 00:22:54,466
Speaker 1: gonna solidify this defense in a way that he did

454
00:22:54,466 --> 00:22:56,306
Speaker 1: with the Ravens last year and he did with Michigan

455
00:22:56,346 --> 00:22:59,706
Speaker 1: two years ago. I'm already hearing great things from you know,

456
00:22:59,906 --> 00:23:04,506
Speaker 1: from camp on Kenneth Walker, but also Jackson Smith, Ninjigba,

457
00:23:04,746 --> 00:23:09,426
Speaker 1: and of course you have your usuals Lockett and Metcalf. Defensively,

458
00:23:09,466 --> 00:23:12,506
Speaker 1: they were pretty pretty down last year. That's why you

459
00:23:12,506 --> 00:23:14,626
Speaker 1: bring in a defensive coach, and that's why you give

460
00:23:14,666 --> 00:23:16,866
Speaker 1: a guy who's thirty seven years old the reins. I

461
00:23:16,866 --> 00:23:19,466
Speaker 1: think the Seattle Seahawks are my surprise team in the NFL,

462
00:23:19,786 --> 00:23:23,186
Speaker 1: and I've got Mike McDonald as my coach of the year.

463
00:23:23,226 --> 00:23:25,466
Speaker 1: I will say this though, for as good as I

464
00:23:25,546 --> 00:23:29,226
Speaker 1: have been aaron on Super Bowl picks, and I have

465
00:23:29,426 --> 00:23:32,986
Speaker 1: taken many a victory laugh. And my coach of the

466
00:23:33,066 --> 00:23:36,186
Speaker 1: year three years ago was Cliff Kingsbury, he got fired.

467
00:23:36,226 --> 00:23:39,226
Speaker 1: My coach of the year two years ago was Nathaniel Hackett,

468
00:23:39,226 --> 00:23:41,906
Speaker 1: he got fired. And last year I had Sean Payton

469
00:23:42,146 --> 00:23:44,306
Speaker 1: where his team fell apart down the stretch and they

470
00:23:44,306 --> 00:23:46,346
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs and it was a great disappointment, so

471
00:23:46,386 --> 00:23:48,786
Speaker 1: bad that you know, Russell Wilson's out of town. So

472
00:23:49,426 --> 00:23:51,626
Speaker 1: my Coach of the Year picks have not exactly been

473
00:23:51,666 --> 00:23:53,986
Speaker 1: spot on. So, Mike McDonald, as much as it might

474
00:23:54,066 --> 00:23:56,546
Speaker 1: feel good to see your name in a September Coach

475
00:23:56,546 --> 00:24:00,826
Speaker 1: of the Year pick, that means it means nothing. There's

476
00:24:00,866 --> 00:24:03,826
Speaker 1: a good chance that this actually backfires completely because I

477
00:24:03,826 --> 00:24:06,266
Speaker 1: have a horrible history and track record with finding that's

478
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:08,746
Speaker 1: a prize team that's going to suddenly shock everybody.

479
00:24:08,866 --> 00:24:10,946
Speaker 2: Well, he is a first year coach, so maybe that

480
00:24:10,986 --> 00:24:13,466
Speaker 2: gives him a little bit of a cushion there to

481
00:24:13,946 --> 00:24:16,266
Speaker 2: protect him from any sort of you know, curse or

482
00:24:16,306 --> 00:24:20,666
Speaker 2: anything you might have going on. I also thought about

483
00:24:20,706 --> 00:24:23,626
Speaker 2: a first year coach and someone who we've talked about

484
00:24:23,626 --> 00:24:26,426
Speaker 2: a lot on the show, Rahiem Morris. Oh, but at

485
00:24:26,426 --> 00:24:28,866
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I think I'm going to

486
00:24:28,946 --> 00:24:31,826
Speaker 2: go with Dimigo Ryans, who I think the.

487
00:24:31,866 --> 00:24:34,586
Speaker 1: Tech What better could they do than last year. Last

488
00:24:34,626 --> 00:24:35,866
Speaker 1: year was the year he would have won it, and

489
00:24:35,866 --> 00:24:37,266
Speaker 1: he didn't win it. Stefanski won it.

490
00:24:37,466 --> 00:24:41,306
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that the Texans still have room

491
00:24:41,306 --> 00:24:44,466
Speaker 2: to grow on defense, which is a place that he

492
00:24:44,506 --> 00:24:48,066
Speaker 2: will really make himself known. And I think that they

493
00:24:49,026 --> 00:24:51,346
Speaker 2: they've got room to grow there. So I do really

494
00:24:51,426 --> 00:24:54,786
Speaker 2: think they can continue this ascent. They're not just like

495
00:24:54,866 --> 00:24:57,946
Speaker 2: a young, little upstart team. They've got these vets are

496
00:24:57,986 --> 00:25:01,786
Speaker 2: really there to perform well for them, and I think

497
00:25:01,786 --> 00:25:04,546
Speaker 2: this year we get a continuation. He keeps that momentum

498
00:25:04,626 --> 00:25:07,266
Speaker 2: going and he gets like he gets award that's also

499
00:25:07,306 --> 00:25:09,546
Speaker 2: a little bit for last year, but also you kept

500
00:25:09,626 --> 00:25:11,386
Speaker 2: going this year. Here's the catch with.

501
00:25:11,386 --> 00:25:14,186
Speaker 1: That, And anyone who picks like Dan Campbell or on

502
00:25:14,186 --> 00:25:18,186
Speaker 1: the floor like last year was the big bump. Anything

503
00:25:18,226 --> 00:25:20,186
Speaker 1: short of like the one seed and like a dominant

504
00:25:20,226 --> 00:25:22,146
Speaker 1: season for these guys, it's hard. Usually like giving Coach

505
00:25:22,186 --> 00:25:24,186
Speaker 1: of the Year to the guys who surprise and shock

506
00:25:24,746 --> 00:25:26,426
Speaker 1: or who come out of nowhere in the first year.

507
00:25:26,506 --> 00:25:29,586
Speaker 1: So I would say, yes, he might be the best coach,

508
00:25:29,706 --> 00:25:32,586
Speaker 1: but odds are against anything short of Houston going like

509
00:25:32,626 --> 00:25:35,546
Speaker 1: fifteen to two, them suddenly giving to Miko the award.

510
00:25:35,946 --> 00:25:38,506
Speaker 2: That might give a little indication of what my future

511
00:25:38,586 --> 00:25:39,866
Speaker 2: thoughts of Houston are too.

512
00:25:39,906 --> 00:25:42,546
Speaker 1: Okay, So all right, all right, so let's get into

513
00:25:42,586 --> 00:25:45,506
Speaker 1: it now. We get into the nitty gritty. Let's get

514
00:25:45,506 --> 00:25:50,186
Speaker 1: in to our playoff teams. I'll do my AFC, you

515
00:25:50,226 --> 00:25:54,866
Speaker 1: do your AFC. I'll do my NFC, you do your NFC.

516
00:25:55,266 --> 00:25:57,866
Speaker 1: How we're gonna do it is this. We're gonna give

517
00:25:57,906 --> 00:26:04,226
Speaker 1: our four division champions in order you see them, see them. Okay, okay.

518
00:26:04,666 --> 00:26:07,626
Speaker 1: So as you know playoffs, the four division champions are

519
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:10,066
Speaker 1: always the top four seeds, no matter what the wild

520
00:26:10,186 --> 00:26:13,346
Speaker 1: card records are, and the first team has a buy

521
00:26:14,986 --> 00:26:18,986
Speaker 1: the next three host playoff games in the wild card round,

522
00:26:19,066 --> 00:26:23,186
Speaker 1: and then we go from there, no further ado. I

523
00:26:23,266 --> 00:26:25,266
Speaker 1: kind of did this spiel on Good Morning Football. I'm

524
00:26:25,306 --> 00:26:26,706
Speaker 1: gonna do it again. I want to talk to my

525
00:26:26,746 --> 00:26:30,386
Speaker 1: boy Danny Glazer in Tribeca, my boy Eric Ziff in Tribeca,

526
00:26:30,506 --> 00:26:33,546
Speaker 1: my guys the band Chicks, one in Tribeca, one out

527
00:26:33,546 --> 00:26:36,186
Speaker 1: there in Long Island. I'll talk to my to my

528
00:26:36,226 --> 00:26:39,386
Speaker 1: friends in Freehold, New Jersey, Matthew Nay and Joshua Levin

529
00:26:39,426 --> 00:26:41,586
Speaker 1: and all these guys. And I want to talk about

530
00:26:41,586 --> 00:26:43,706
Speaker 1: all people on the street that I see, everyone who

531
00:26:43,706 --> 00:26:46,746
Speaker 1: I've come across who is a die hard fan of

532
00:26:46,786 --> 00:26:48,306
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, and I want to tell them

533
00:26:48,586 --> 00:26:52,786
Speaker 1: to take a deep breath, exhale, take out that coheba,

534
00:26:53,066 --> 00:26:59,346
Speaker 1: you know, cigar, and enjoy a dream season. It's okay

535
00:26:59,346 --> 00:27:02,306
Speaker 1: to believe in the New York Jets. I've got the

536
00:27:02,346 --> 00:27:05,586
Speaker 1: New York Jets as the number one seed in the AFC,

537
00:27:06,466 --> 00:27:08,786
Speaker 1: and I have them having a buy in the first

538
00:27:08,866 --> 00:27:11,906
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. It's a little bit on a ledge,

539
00:27:12,066 --> 00:27:13,666
Speaker 1: you know what. The more I thought about it, I

540
00:27:13,706 --> 00:27:16,866
Speaker 1: really like this team. I really like a lot of teams,

541
00:27:17,306 --> 00:27:21,386
Speaker 1: but this one. I felt like there's something special about

542
00:27:21,426 --> 00:27:24,146
Speaker 1: how quiet they've been and how many haters there have

543
00:27:24,266 --> 00:27:27,426
Speaker 1: been this summer, Like the amount of fake Rogers BS

544
00:27:27,466 --> 00:27:29,746
Speaker 1: stories that I've seen come out that it's been like discord,

545
00:27:29,866 --> 00:27:32,266
Speaker 1: Like I don't see it, I don't hear it, and

546
00:27:32,306 --> 00:27:34,746
Speaker 1: I'm there, like I actually go to the practice and

547
00:27:34,786 --> 00:27:37,146
Speaker 1: then I actually called the games and actually talked to

548
00:27:37,186 --> 00:27:40,266
Speaker 1: the coaches, like I would think that maybe I wouldn't

549
00:27:40,266 --> 00:27:42,986
Speaker 1: publicly say like, oh, Rogers's been a real tough cookie

550
00:27:42,986 --> 00:27:45,626
Speaker 1: this year, or Rogers and Sala aren't getting along, I

551
00:27:45,626 --> 00:27:48,626
Speaker 1: wouldn't maybe necessarily come and broadcast that. But I certainly

552
00:27:48,626 --> 00:27:50,506
Speaker 1: wouldn't put my name on the Jets if I felt

553
00:27:50,546 --> 00:27:53,386
Speaker 1: that was true. So I'm going to say the Jets

554
00:27:53,546 --> 00:27:57,146
Speaker 1: are my one seed in the AFC. My two seed

555
00:27:57,146 --> 00:27:59,786
Speaker 1: are the Kansas City Chiefs. Say no more. I think

556
00:27:59,826 --> 00:28:01,506
Speaker 1: they loaded up. I think they're going to be better

557
00:28:02,026 --> 00:28:03,746
Speaker 1: than they were a last regular season when they were

558
00:28:03,746 --> 00:28:05,826
Speaker 1: a five seed. Have to win two road playoff games

559
00:28:05,866 --> 00:28:09,986
Speaker 1: to get to this. Well, three's the Ravens, all right again.

560
00:28:10,146 --> 00:28:11,746
Speaker 1: Best team in the AFC North in my eyes. They

561
00:28:11,746 --> 00:28:13,866
Speaker 1: got Derek Henry. I think there were some big losses,

562
00:28:13,866 --> 00:28:17,186
Speaker 1: including McDonald and the three offensive linemen that were all veterans.

563
00:28:17,226 --> 00:28:21,186
Speaker 1: That they're losing. Number four is a shocker. Number four,

564
00:28:21,226 --> 00:28:24,226
Speaker 1: I've got the Jacksonville Jaguars winning the AFC South. I

565
00:28:24,306 --> 00:28:26,626
Speaker 1: don't have the Texans. I want to zag a little bit.

566
00:28:26,666 --> 00:28:28,706
Speaker 1: I like the Texans, but I feel like the Jaguars

567
00:28:28,706 --> 00:28:30,506
Speaker 1: had a really down year with a lot of bad

568
00:28:30,546 --> 00:28:32,706
Speaker 1: things happen to them. But like coming into the season,

569
00:28:33,386 --> 00:28:35,346
Speaker 1: the Jags were a hot team at one point and

570
00:28:35,346 --> 00:28:38,266
Speaker 1: then it all fell apart once Trevor Lawrence's ankle went

571
00:28:38,306 --> 00:28:42,146
Speaker 1: to put I've got the Jags as my four, my

572
00:28:42,386 --> 00:28:45,186
Speaker 1: three wild cards. And as I say this, remember here

573
00:28:45,186 --> 00:28:48,826
Speaker 1: are teams we have not mentioned. The Bengals, the Browns,

574
00:28:48,986 --> 00:28:52,426
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Bills. We haven't mentioned the Texans. We

575
00:28:52,426 --> 00:28:55,266
Speaker 1: haven't mentioned the Broncos, haven't mentioned the Raiders, the Chargers,

576
00:28:55,626 --> 00:28:59,546
Speaker 1: the Steelers, we haven't mentioned the Patriots. Like there's here's

577
00:28:59,586 --> 00:29:02,826
Speaker 1: the beauty of this or the misery of this when

578
00:29:02,906 --> 00:29:05,506
Speaker 1: you do playoff predictions and not just ah, my super

579
00:29:05,546 --> 00:29:07,786
Speaker 1: Bowl pick this year is this. Oh, but I love

580
00:29:07,826 --> 00:29:09,626
Speaker 1: every team like you gotta put your name on it.

581
00:29:09,986 --> 00:29:12,226
Speaker 1: I said this on Chris Russo Show today, like every

582
00:29:12,266 --> 00:29:14,626
Speaker 1: show is like, here's my super Bowl pick. But for

583
00:29:14,666 --> 00:29:16,786
Speaker 1: the last three weeks they've been saying I really like

584
00:29:16,826 --> 00:29:17,466
Speaker 1: the Cardinals.

585
00:29:17,506 --> 00:29:18,106
Speaker 2: I really like it.

586
00:29:18,106 --> 00:29:20,266
Speaker 1: I actually, I actually really think that this is the

587
00:29:20,386 --> 00:29:22,986
Speaker 1: year the Falcons are a sneaky pick. We gotta put

588
00:29:22,986 --> 00:29:24,986
Speaker 1: your name on it. And when you actually name the

589
00:29:24,986 --> 00:29:29,386
Speaker 1: playoff teams, eighteen teams don't go, only fourteen go. So

590
00:29:29,506 --> 00:29:33,826
Speaker 1: as I say this, here are my three Aaron the

591
00:29:33,906 --> 00:29:38,586
Speaker 1: five seed from the great state of New York, from

592
00:29:38,586 --> 00:29:41,106
Speaker 1: the wonderful city of Buffalo. I've got the Buffalo Bills.

593
00:29:41,106 --> 00:29:47,346
Speaker 1: It's the five seed at the sixth seed in Sean Payton.

594
00:29:47,426 --> 00:29:51,186
Speaker 1: I trust he's got a full year now with his guys,

595
00:29:51,426 --> 00:29:55,066
Speaker 1: and he's already completely transformed this roster with George Peyton

596
00:29:55,146 --> 00:29:58,346
Speaker 1: his colleague. I'm going way out on a limb. I've

597
00:29:58,346 --> 00:30:01,906
Speaker 1: got the Denver Broncos as a sixth seed, meaning I've

598
00:30:01,906 --> 00:30:04,626
Speaker 1: got them winning big games, and I've got them beating

599
00:30:04,666 --> 00:30:07,946
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in some instances, in beating the Chargers and

600
00:30:07,946 --> 00:30:10,426
Speaker 1: beating the Raiders, and of course having to win big

601
00:30:10,466 --> 00:30:14,426
Speaker 1: games against opponents that are really good. And my seventh team,

602
00:30:14,826 --> 00:30:17,266
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins still on the board, and the Steelers

603
00:30:17,306 --> 00:30:19,906
Speaker 1: still on the board, and the Bengals still on the board,

604
00:30:19,986 --> 00:30:23,506
Speaker 1: and the Browns still on the board, and your Houston

605
00:30:23,546 --> 00:30:26,546
Speaker 1: Texans still on the board, I'm going with the Los

606
00:30:26,586 --> 00:30:31,866
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers as my seventh team, and I have Texans

607
00:30:32,666 --> 00:30:35,346
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs. Sorry, I just is what it is.

608
00:30:35,506 --> 00:30:40,186
Speaker 1: Bengals missing the playoffs, Browns missing the playoffs, and maybe

609
00:30:40,226 --> 00:30:42,746
Speaker 1: the craziest of all, to the reaction that I got

610
00:30:42,746 --> 00:30:44,986
Speaker 1: when I first said this, I have the Dolphins missing

611
00:30:45,026 --> 00:30:47,906
Speaker 1: the playoffs after what was a summer's worth of just

612
00:30:47,906 --> 00:30:50,226
Speaker 1: Super Bowl hype and paying Tua and paying Tyreek and

613
00:30:50,266 --> 00:30:52,826
Speaker 1: everyone going all in on the Dolphins. I don't know.

614
00:30:52,946 --> 00:30:54,466
Speaker 1: I don't like how it ended last year, and I

615
00:30:54,466 --> 00:30:57,146
Speaker 1: know they had injuries. I just I don't feel like

616
00:30:57,186 --> 00:30:59,866
Speaker 1: what they ended on last year, that Tua was like

617
00:30:59,906 --> 00:31:01,986
Speaker 1: this guy who's gonna suddenly go into the playoffs and

618
00:31:01,986 --> 00:31:03,266
Speaker 1: win a bunch of games. I win a bunch of

619
00:31:03,266 --> 00:31:04,866
Speaker 1: games late in the season. I still don't. I have

620
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:07,186
Speaker 1: to see it to believe it. They lost that Week

621
00:31:07,226 --> 00:31:10,626
Speaker 1: eighteen game and then they lost in the playoffs in

622
00:31:10,746 --> 00:31:13,586
Speaker 1: what was just you know, blah fashion to the Chiefs.

623
00:31:13,626 --> 00:31:17,546
Speaker 1: So those are my seven in descending order again, will

624
00:31:17,546 --> 00:31:26,346
Speaker 1: do it? Jets? Your one, Chiefs, Ravens, Jaguars, five Bills,

625
00:31:27,106 --> 00:31:34,586
Speaker 1: six Broncos, seven Chargers. Aaron wan Kaufman, your thoughts.

626
00:31:33,706 --> 00:31:36,626
Speaker 2: Big on the AFC West. I mean, I think anytime

627
00:31:36,626 --> 00:31:38,626
Speaker 2: you're looking at this, it's going to be really easy

628
00:31:38,666 --> 00:31:43,546
Speaker 2: to want to throw three teams in from a single spot.

629
00:31:43,706 --> 00:31:47,626
Speaker 2: And you know it's tough. We haven't we haven't even

630
00:31:47,666 --> 00:31:52,586
Speaker 2: mentioned the Chargers yet. And and like their entire coaching change,

631
00:31:52,626 --> 00:31:55,826
Speaker 2: oh yeah, their whole rebranding. I mean, that's that's an

632
00:31:55,826 --> 00:31:59,426
Speaker 2: exciting one. I think. You know, it's funny when I

633
00:31:59,466 --> 00:32:04,026
Speaker 2: look at your list versus my list, you are so

634
00:32:04,146 --> 00:32:07,626
Speaker 2: tuned in with coaches and with the the front office

635
00:32:07,626 --> 00:32:10,386
Speaker 2: and what you're hearing from them, Whereas to me, it's

636
00:32:10,386 --> 00:32:13,346
Speaker 2: like I consume you know, different kinds of media, and

637
00:32:13,386 --> 00:32:16,506
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, who, who who do the Chargers have

638
00:32:16,546 --> 00:32:18,466
Speaker 2: as a weapon anymore? Like, I don't know if I

639
00:32:18,506 --> 00:32:21,786
Speaker 2: can pick them to go that high and to take

640
00:32:21,826 --> 00:32:25,946
Speaker 2: out teams that have legitimately incredible weapons on offense. So

641
00:32:26,426 --> 00:32:28,426
Speaker 2: that's the one I think is almost the spiciest. I

642
00:32:28,426 --> 00:32:31,306
Speaker 2: do think the Denver take is spicy one too.

643
00:32:31,426 --> 00:32:33,666
Speaker 1: How about Okay, let's get to yours. I always value

644
00:32:33,706 --> 00:32:37,466
Speaker 1: your opinions as well. Let's hear all right. So I

645
00:32:37,626 --> 00:32:40,946
Speaker 1: have the one seed of Kansas City. I think this

646
00:32:40,986 --> 00:32:42,906
Speaker 1: is the kind of thing until proven otherwise, I'm not

647
00:32:42,946 --> 00:32:46,226
Speaker 1: gonna not ever going to doubt Kansas City at Mahomes

648
00:32:46,546 --> 00:32:49,066
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid and the two seed I have Houston.

649
00:32:49,186 --> 00:32:51,386
Speaker 2: I do really think that there's a lot of room

650
00:32:51,426 --> 00:32:55,466
Speaker 2: for them. And I you know, I saw what Diggs

651
00:32:55,506 --> 00:32:58,346
Speaker 2: did for Bills. Yeah, and if he can, if he

652
00:32:58,426 --> 00:33:02,666
Speaker 2: can elevate Stroud just a little bit, that's amazing. Nico

653
00:33:02,746 --> 00:33:05,226
Speaker 2: Collins is great, Tank Dell could be the best of

654
00:33:05,226 --> 00:33:08,586
Speaker 2: all three of them. Who knows the three seed I

655
00:33:08,586 --> 00:33:11,826
Speaker 2: have Baltimore similar to you, and for the four seed,

656
00:33:11,866 --> 00:33:15,066
Speaker 2: I have to stick with Buffalo, So I'm keeping.

657
00:33:14,866 --> 00:33:17,946
Speaker 1: The Bills Buffalo another as title.

658
00:33:19,706 --> 00:33:22,786
Speaker 2: Yep, and then wild card I have Jacksonville. At five,

659
00:33:23,106 --> 00:33:26,786
Speaker 2: we both have the Jacks. Also, I also think that

660
00:33:27,066 --> 00:33:32,186
Speaker 2: they had a really unlucky season last year. And look,

661
00:33:32,386 --> 00:33:34,946
Speaker 2: I think Trevor Lawrence has it and we just haven't

662
00:33:34,986 --> 00:33:37,946
Speaker 2: really seen it. He had a good second year, but

663
00:33:38,226 --> 00:33:41,146
Speaker 2: he hasn't had like the elevation from that, and I

664
00:33:41,146 --> 00:33:42,946
Speaker 2: think we could see that this year, and I'd be

665
00:33:42,986 --> 00:33:48,466
Speaker 2: really excited to see that a team that you didn't have.

666
00:33:49,506 --> 00:33:51,146
Speaker 2: For six, I have the Cleveland Brown.

667
00:33:51,226 --> 00:33:51,906
Speaker 1: Okay, good.

668
00:33:52,026 --> 00:33:55,306
Speaker 2: I still think that the talent on that team is

669
00:33:55,386 --> 00:34:01,786
Speaker 2: standing Judy. They they have obviously some questions, but I

670
00:34:01,786 --> 00:34:03,266
Speaker 2: think that they could make.

671
00:34:03,826 --> 00:34:06,706
Speaker 1: On paper there as good as anybody. And Watson should

672
00:34:06,706 --> 00:34:09,226
Speaker 1: be a significant upgrade from Joe Flacco, just objectively, And

673
00:34:09,306 --> 00:34:11,986
Speaker 1: yet I don't feel like that's necessarily the case. I

674
00:34:11,986 --> 00:34:13,466
Speaker 1: don't know. I got to see it, Yeah, they got

675
00:34:13,506 --> 00:34:13,906
Speaker 1: to see it.

676
00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:17,346
Speaker 2: And and and at seven, I have the Jets because

677
00:34:17,466 --> 00:34:19,706
Speaker 2: I do think you know, I mean, you don't. You

678
00:34:19,706 --> 00:34:23,066
Speaker 2: can't predict health or injury. But with this team, if

679
00:34:23,066 --> 00:34:28,026
Speaker 2: they're the conversation for everyone is if they're healthy. Another

680
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:30,426
Speaker 2: team that just has an incredible amount of talent. That

681
00:34:30,506 --> 00:34:35,506
Speaker 2: defense has been consistent, which is very difficult. And god,

682
00:34:35,626 --> 00:34:39,746
Speaker 2: if you know, if Mike Williams could be a half

683
00:34:40,186 --> 00:34:43,386
Speaker 2: of what he used to be for Rogers and Rogers

684
00:34:43,426 --> 00:34:46,626
Speaker 2: can be eighty percent of what he knows MVP season

685
00:34:46,786 --> 00:34:48,266
Speaker 2: Like whoa right? And Breeze Hall?

686
00:34:49,026 --> 00:34:50,986
Speaker 1: You know, is the all these guys here's the thing?

687
00:34:51,106 --> 00:34:53,986
Speaker 1: Right the Jets? Yeah, all these guys did that last year.

688
00:34:54,026 --> 00:34:56,946
Speaker 1: They won I think seven games with no quarterback. They

689
00:34:56,946 --> 00:34:59,946
Speaker 1: had twenty different offensive linemen. Like it's real. Like, if

690
00:34:59,986 --> 00:35:01,706
Speaker 1: you just tell me that Rogers is out there, it

691
00:35:02,346 --> 00:35:04,386
Speaker 1: it's the great deodorant. Like I think they might win

692
00:35:04,386 --> 00:35:06,666
Speaker 1: Week one in San Francisco. That's how confident I am them.

693
00:35:06,706 --> 00:35:10,426
Speaker 1: I think they're really good. Here's what's interesting. Neither of us,

694
00:35:11,306 --> 00:35:12,946
Speaker 1: neither of us, if I'm not mistaken, tell me if

695
00:35:12,946 --> 00:35:14,786
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Neither of us took the Bengals to make

696
00:35:14,826 --> 00:35:20,306
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Is it the Burrow injury stuff? Because he's

697
00:35:20,346 --> 00:35:21,506
Speaker 1: apparently healthy.

698
00:35:21,786 --> 00:35:24,946
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's got to be some concern

699
00:35:25,026 --> 00:35:29,146
Speaker 2: with a guy who has kind of had to remake

700
00:35:29,226 --> 00:35:33,146
Speaker 2: his throwing motion a little bit multiple times so early

701
00:35:33,186 --> 00:35:38,506
Speaker 2: in his career. This might just be purely off vibes,

702
00:35:38,786 --> 00:35:42,146
Speaker 2: but I don't like I love seeing the bleach blonde hair.

703
00:35:42,466 --> 00:35:45,586
Speaker 2: I don't know if that instills confidence in me, like

704
00:35:45,706 --> 00:35:47,946
Speaker 2: this guy's ready to go out and get it. I

705
00:35:47,986 --> 00:35:50,306
Speaker 2: love the look, but I don't know if that's making

706
00:35:50,346 --> 00:35:55,586
Speaker 2: me think like, oh, they're hungry for it. So yeah,

707
00:35:55,666 --> 00:35:58,746
Speaker 2: that's I don't have them because of that. I think

708
00:35:59,186 --> 00:36:00,466
Speaker 2: I am concerned with Burrow.

709
00:36:00,586 --> 00:36:02,906
Speaker 1: All right. So you have the Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence

710
00:36:02,986 --> 00:36:05,586
Speaker 1: is the playoff team, but you also don't have the Dolphins,

711
00:36:05,626 --> 00:36:07,386
Speaker 1: do you?

712
00:36:07,386 --> 00:36:07,466
Speaker 4: No?

713
00:36:07,826 --> 00:36:08,146
Speaker 1: Yeah?

714
00:36:08,226 --> 00:36:11,706
Speaker 2: I I Hey, I'm a huge to a fan. I

715
00:36:11,706 --> 00:36:15,626
Speaker 2: would love him to above all else stay safe and

716
00:36:16,026 --> 00:36:19,906
Speaker 2: keep you know, proving people wrong that he's that he

717
00:36:20,066 --> 00:36:23,026
Speaker 2: is a really top tier quarterback at some point. I

718
00:36:23,186 --> 00:36:26,866
Speaker 2: just have They are so exciting in the beginning and

719
00:36:26,906 --> 00:36:29,386
Speaker 2: they just never last. And I don't know if that's

720
00:36:29,426 --> 00:36:30,026
Speaker 2: going to change.

721
00:36:30,466 --> 00:36:44,466
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, NFC, shall we let's do it. The

722
00:36:44,506 --> 00:36:47,666
Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC are the Detroit Lions. Steamroll

723
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:50,306
Speaker 1: through this regular season harder schedule than last year with

724
00:36:50,346 --> 00:36:52,186
Speaker 1: the first place schedule. I just think they're really good.

725
00:36:52,306 --> 00:36:55,226
Speaker 1: All the hype, like they lived up to it last year,

726
00:36:55,226 --> 00:36:57,306
Speaker 1: and I think they're better this year, and they're healthier

727
00:36:57,306 --> 00:36:58,626
Speaker 1: than they were at the end of last season when

728
00:36:58,626 --> 00:37:01,426
Speaker 1: they were playing great football. There's a very good arguments

729
00:37:01,466 --> 00:37:03,986
Speaker 1: we made that they should have won that NFC Championship

730
00:37:03,986 --> 00:37:06,826
Speaker 1: game up what they were in San Francisco, and they

731
00:37:06,946 --> 00:37:09,346
Speaker 1: just could not close. What happens with the young teams

732
00:37:09,346 --> 00:37:11,266
Speaker 1: as you get older and you learn to close and

733
00:37:11,306 --> 00:37:13,146
Speaker 1: you get over the hump. I think they're gonna learn

734
00:37:13,186 --> 00:37:14,586
Speaker 1: to close out a lot of these games, some that

735
00:37:14,626 --> 00:37:17,146
Speaker 1: they lost at the end of last year. That's your

736
00:37:17,266 --> 00:37:19,746
Speaker 1: one seed. Two seed. I have a shocker. I got

737
00:37:19,786 --> 00:37:22,346
Speaker 1: the Rams over the Niners. The vibes of the Niners

738
00:37:22,506 --> 00:37:24,546
Speaker 1: just off right now. I think from Afar, like, what

739
00:37:24,586 --> 00:37:26,386
Speaker 1: do I know. Maybe they come out and they're fifteen

740
00:37:26,426 --> 00:37:28,146
Speaker 1: to two and it's like, everyone shut up, We're the

741
00:37:28,146 --> 00:37:30,226
Speaker 1: best team in the conference on paper. Of course, the

742
00:37:30,306 --> 00:37:32,546
Speaker 1: Niners and they went to Super Bowl last year. Maybe

743
00:37:32,626 --> 00:37:34,986
Speaker 1: I'm zigging what everyone else's zagging. I'm going Rams to

744
00:37:35,066 --> 00:37:36,786
Speaker 1: two seed. I was at practice. It might be a

745
00:37:36,786 --> 00:37:39,586
Speaker 1: recency bias. I'm in La I see a lot of

746
00:37:39,586 --> 00:37:41,426
Speaker 1: this stuff. I just feel like the vibes are right

747
00:37:41,466 --> 00:37:43,706
Speaker 1: with the Rams under the radar. No one's talking about them.

748
00:37:43,746 --> 00:37:46,506
Speaker 1: I think they are a surprise two seed, three seed

749
00:37:46,586 --> 00:37:51,066
Speaker 1: Atlanta pains me because I really like Tampa Bay and

750
00:37:51,106 --> 00:37:52,986
Speaker 1: they brought everyone back and they're like, we could do

751
00:37:53,026 --> 00:37:55,466
Speaker 1: it again. I've got Atlanta. They just added so much,

752
00:37:55,826 --> 00:37:58,266
Speaker 1: whether it be Kirk Cousins or Justin Simmons or just

753
00:37:58,306 --> 00:38:00,826
Speaker 1: the head coach and the offensive coordinator a being different.

754
00:38:01,186 --> 00:38:03,346
Speaker 1: I will say this and I'll break the fourth wall

755
00:38:03,866 --> 00:38:06,626
Speaker 1: within seconds. I picked Atlanta on Good Morning Football. Got

756
00:38:06,626 --> 00:38:09,106
Speaker 1: a text from a very high ranking Buccaneers official with

757
00:38:09,266 --> 00:38:12,786
Speaker 1: just a visual of a receipt, so people listen, people

758
00:38:12,946 --> 00:38:14,506
Speaker 1: watch it. I just like groveling, like.

759
00:38:14,826 --> 00:38:15,706
Speaker 2: I really like your team.

760
00:38:15,786 --> 00:38:17,226
Speaker 1: I just thinking, you know, in week seven, if you

761
00:38:17,266 --> 00:38:18,626
Speaker 1: look and it's like that was it. There was no

762
00:38:18,746 --> 00:38:20,746
Speaker 1: back and forth. I was like sixteen texts in a row.

763
00:38:20,786 --> 00:38:24,066
Speaker 1: It's like when a you know, I never had this happen,

764
00:38:24,106 --> 00:38:25,826
Speaker 1: but if a girl was to catch you cheating, and

765
00:38:25,866 --> 00:38:27,706
Speaker 1: then like on text, you're just like texting back and

766
00:38:27,786 --> 00:38:29,986
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and there's just no response,

767
00:38:30,146 --> 00:38:33,226
Speaker 1: like that's what this was. But I am not swayed.

768
00:38:33,706 --> 00:38:36,626
Speaker 1: I will stick with the Falcons the fourth seed. I

769
00:38:36,626 --> 00:38:40,306
Speaker 1: went Eagles in the East, though also not feeling one

770
00:38:40,386 --> 00:38:43,346
Speaker 1: hundred percent about that team after what was a weird offseason.

771
00:38:44,186 --> 00:38:46,986
Speaker 1: You know, on paper, you're like, all right, they added Saquon,

772
00:38:47,026 --> 00:38:49,066
Speaker 1: they added Quiney on Mitchell, they added Cooper dejene like,

773
00:38:49,066 --> 00:38:51,306
Speaker 1: they added all these great players, and then you know,

774
00:38:51,346 --> 00:38:53,746
Speaker 1: everything you hear is like there might have been disconnects

775
00:38:53,786 --> 00:38:56,346
Speaker 1: between the coaching the quarterback and then you've got two

776
00:38:56,346 --> 00:38:59,066
Speaker 1: new coordinators. That does that always work out? Still got

777
00:38:59,066 --> 00:39:02,746
Speaker 1: them winning the East over the Cowboys, which leads to

778
00:39:02,786 --> 00:39:07,626
Speaker 1: our wild card teams. The number five seed in the NFC,

779
00:39:08,866 --> 00:39:10,826
Speaker 1: I am going with the San Francisco forty nine ers.

780
00:39:10,826 --> 00:39:12,746
Speaker 1: They might not win the division, but there ain't missing

781
00:39:12,786 --> 00:39:14,826
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's not going to be a total collapse,

782
00:39:14,906 --> 00:39:17,106
Speaker 1: you know. If anything, I think it might just take

783
00:39:17,146 --> 00:39:19,026
Speaker 1: them a couple of weeks out of the gates. It

784
00:39:19,066 --> 00:39:23,226
Speaker 1: was a really, really weird offseason with the Ayuk situation

785
00:39:23,306 --> 00:39:26,426
Speaker 1: and the Trent Williams situation. Look, I don't want to

786
00:39:26,426 --> 00:39:28,706
Speaker 1: make this very serious, but like what happened with Ricky

787
00:39:28,706 --> 00:39:33,306
Speaker 1: Piersoll is a crazy, crazy situation and that like that,

788
00:39:33,466 --> 00:39:35,466
Speaker 1: that's something that has to be addressed to the team.

789
00:39:35,546 --> 00:39:37,386
Speaker 1: And he was also their first round pick and now

790
00:39:38,146 --> 00:39:41,306
Speaker 1: he's dealing with that. So look, they could go like

791
00:39:41,306 --> 00:39:43,106
Speaker 1: I said, sixteen and one, fifteen to two, and I'll

792
00:39:43,146 --> 00:39:45,186
Speaker 1: just say I was wrong. I'm not. They're not missing

793
00:39:45,186 --> 00:39:47,066
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're in the mix. They're going to be

794
00:39:47,066 --> 00:39:49,226
Speaker 1: in the mix in January. I just got the Rams

795
00:39:49,466 --> 00:39:52,266
Speaker 1: having the division this year, the sixth seed. I'm going

796
00:39:52,266 --> 00:39:54,026
Speaker 1: with my coach of the year and the Seahawks. I

797
00:39:54,026 --> 00:39:56,346
Speaker 1: already did the pitch about why I'm excited about them

798
00:39:56,346 --> 00:39:59,426
Speaker 1: and the seven I like lost sleep last night over

799
00:39:59,586 --> 00:40:01,906
Speaker 1: three different teams here, the Buccaneers, who I don't have

800
00:40:02,026 --> 00:40:05,266
Speaker 1: making it. And then it was like, all right, if

801
00:40:05,266 --> 00:40:08,146
Speaker 1: I'm putting the Seahawks in and I got the Eagles

802
00:40:08,146 --> 00:40:11,386
Speaker 1: winning that division, I got the Lions winning that division,

803
00:40:11,466 --> 00:40:14,186
Speaker 1: there's an odd team out here. So it was Packers

804
00:40:14,266 --> 00:40:17,706
Speaker 1: or Cowboys. Packers are Cowboys, and I went with the

805
00:40:17,746 --> 00:40:20,826
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers as the seventh seed over the Cowboys.

806
00:40:20,906 --> 00:40:25,586
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys out of the playoffs entirely in my eyes.

807
00:40:25,626 --> 00:40:28,626
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers miss it as well, but Dallas missing the

808
00:40:28,666 --> 00:40:31,586
Speaker 1: playoffs after having one of the best regular seasons scoring

809
00:40:31,626 --> 00:40:34,546
Speaker 1: wise last year, And I don't know, I just there's

810
00:40:34,586 --> 00:40:36,826
Speaker 1: too many questions in the vibes and the vibes, guy,

811
00:40:37,026 --> 00:40:38,826
Speaker 1: I don't know if the vibes feel like Super Bowl

812
00:40:38,906 --> 00:40:41,866
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe I'm wrong. I always couldn't be wrong,

813
00:40:42,186 --> 00:40:45,146
Speaker 1: but I am not taking the Cowboys as a playoff team.

814
00:40:45,306 --> 00:40:48,866
Speaker 1: And guess what, I stood up there a national television

815
00:40:48,946 --> 00:40:50,986
Speaker 1: sident and I'm taking a beating online and it's not

816
00:40:51,066 --> 00:40:53,306
Speaker 1: great when you're on television and ratings matter, and we

817
00:40:53,426 --> 00:40:56,346
Speaker 1: choose not to pick the Cowboys. But I just feel

818
00:40:56,386 --> 00:40:57,706
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of good teams in the NFC,

819
00:40:57,746 --> 00:40:59,826
Speaker 1: and I don't have them winning the division and I

820
00:40:59,826 --> 00:41:01,226
Speaker 1: don't have them having a good enough record to be

821
00:41:01,226 --> 00:41:03,426
Speaker 1: a wildcard. Aaron, your thoughts.

822
00:41:03,666 --> 00:41:07,906
Speaker 2: The Cowboys omission is a shock, But really the thing

823
00:41:07,946 --> 00:41:12,386
Speaker 2: that made me visibly like my jaw dropped when you

824
00:41:12,466 --> 00:41:17,306
Speaker 2: had Atlanta had three really really division.

825
00:41:17,426 --> 00:41:19,986
Speaker 1: I think that division is winnable, like the Saints and

826
00:41:20,026 --> 00:41:22,186
Speaker 1: the Panthers. I don't know, like that's a quick you

827
00:41:22,226 --> 00:41:22,706
Speaker 1: know whatever.

828
00:41:23,146 --> 00:41:28,626
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I think that it's just it's it's

829
00:41:29,106 --> 00:41:32,946
Speaker 2: funny to think of that team that is in a division,

830
00:41:33,026 --> 00:41:36,466
Speaker 2: Like you said, that's so winnable, and yet last year

831
00:41:36,466 --> 00:41:39,666
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay beat them out for it. And yeah, I

832
00:41:39,666 --> 00:41:43,906
Speaker 2: mean picking them at three is is you are more

833
00:41:43,906 --> 00:41:44,466
Speaker 2: brave than I.

834
00:41:47,226 --> 00:41:50,586
Speaker 1: All right, let's get your picks and then let's dissect

835
00:41:50,626 --> 00:41:53,186
Speaker 1: them with a fine tooth comb and then we'll wrap

836
00:41:53,226 --> 00:41:56,106
Speaker 1: this sucker up. All right, Aaron, your seven playoff picks,

837
00:41:56,146 --> 00:41:58,666
Speaker 1: including your one seed that gets a bye in the

838
00:41:58,706 --> 00:42:00,626
Speaker 1: first round. Mine was the Lions. What about you?

839
00:42:01,226 --> 00:42:04,666
Speaker 2: My number one is the Lions. I really yeah. I

840
00:42:04,706 --> 00:42:06,386
Speaker 2: think you pointed it out. There are a lot of

841
00:42:06,706 --> 00:42:09,986
Speaker 2: great teams here in the NFC, and the Lions seem

842
00:42:10,066 --> 00:42:13,226
Speaker 2: to be the only one that has both an incredible

843
00:42:13,746 --> 00:42:18,346
Speaker 2: wealth of talent as well as positive vibes like there's

844
00:42:18,706 --> 00:42:21,626
Speaker 2: there's just good things going on right now with Detroit,

845
00:42:23,026 --> 00:42:25,226
Speaker 2: and so I have them as an easy number one.

846
00:42:26,106 --> 00:42:33,306
Speaker 2: At number two, despite the contract issues, despite the Super

847
00:42:33,306 --> 00:42:36,066
Speaker 2: Bowl hangover, I have the forty nine ers. I think

848
00:42:36,226 --> 00:42:39,346
Speaker 2: they could get off to a slow start. You know,

849
00:42:39,386 --> 00:42:43,146
Speaker 2: we got CMC was injured earlier and UK wasn't practicing.

850
00:42:43,186 --> 00:42:46,306
Speaker 2: You know what doesn't matter. They just restructure debo They're

851
00:42:46,426 --> 00:42:47,306
Speaker 2: They're a great team.

852
00:42:47,386 --> 00:42:49,946
Speaker 1: They're the Niners. They're the team of the generation in

853
00:42:49,946 --> 00:42:51,346
Speaker 1: this conference, no doubt.

854
00:42:51,586 --> 00:42:55,026
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean number three, I have the Eagles.

855
00:42:55,106 --> 00:42:58,666
Speaker 2: I think that another team that just has an incredible

856
00:42:58,706 --> 00:43:02,866
Speaker 2: wealth of talent and let's get into the season. Anything

857
00:43:02,866 --> 00:43:06,266
Speaker 2: that may have been, you know, Jason Kelsey coming out

858
00:43:06,266 --> 00:43:08,266
Speaker 2: and saying it just wasn't a good hang in the

859
00:43:08,306 --> 00:43:11,426
Speaker 2: locker room, like we'll see, let's let's get on the

860
00:43:11,466 --> 00:43:16,066
Speaker 2: field and everyone remember what you're doing here. I think

861
00:43:16,106 --> 00:43:19,066
Speaker 2: that they're gonna be okay, okay. And at four, I

862
00:43:19,106 --> 00:43:25,506
Speaker 2: have Atlanta, so I do South. Yeah, wild card is

863
00:43:25,826 --> 00:43:28,386
Speaker 2: a little mixed up from yours. I have green Bay

864
00:43:28,466 --> 00:43:32,346
Speaker 2: first or as the fifth seed. I'm really excited for

865
00:43:32,386 --> 00:43:36,626
Speaker 2: green Bay and I think that they they uh, I

866
00:43:36,666 --> 00:43:39,306
Speaker 2: don't know. In some yeah, in some ways, green Bay's

867
00:43:39,386 --> 00:43:41,466
Speaker 2: like the NFC version of the Texans, where we have

868
00:43:41,546 --> 00:43:45,306
Speaker 2: this quarterback who really showed out last year with young receivers,

869
00:43:45,826 --> 00:43:48,706
Speaker 2: has an up and coming defense. So I'm excited about

870
00:43:48,706 --> 00:43:51,866
Speaker 2: green Bay. At number six, I have the Rams, another

871
00:43:51,906 --> 00:43:57,226
Speaker 2: team that you know, they they sort of in some

872
00:43:57,266 --> 00:44:00,186
Speaker 2: ways mimic the Jets for me, and that you've got

873
00:44:00,626 --> 00:44:03,906
Speaker 2: some fragility to it, but when it's working and firing

874
00:44:03,946 --> 00:44:08,866
Speaker 2: on all cylinders, the pieces of that are incredible. And

875
00:44:10,066 --> 00:44:12,146
Speaker 2: Cooper cup did had a bit of a down year.

876
00:44:12,066 --> 00:44:13,266
Speaker 1: Last He's gonna be back this year.

877
00:44:13,346 --> 00:44:17,226
Speaker 2: He's amazing. He's an amazing player. He's going to be

878
00:44:17,306 --> 00:44:20,906
Speaker 2: so good again. And then at number seven, I have Dallas,

879
00:44:20,946 --> 00:44:23,426
Speaker 2: all right, I yeah, so I picked I mean, I

880
00:44:23,426 --> 00:44:26,466
Speaker 2: picked Lamb and I picked Parsons for you know, offensive

881
00:44:26,466 --> 00:44:28,346
Speaker 2: and defensive players of the Year, because I do think

882
00:44:28,346 --> 00:44:31,506
Speaker 2: they're going to do well. I don't think they're necessarily

883
00:44:31,546 --> 00:44:33,186
Speaker 2: going to have any success in the playoffs, but I

884
00:44:33,186 --> 00:44:34,386
Speaker 2: think they're going to get there.

885
00:44:34,226 --> 00:44:36,906
Speaker 1: All right. So we have very similar similar as teams

886
00:44:36,906 --> 00:44:40,226
Speaker 1: in the NFC. Neither of us have the Buccaneers. Neither

887
00:44:40,266 --> 00:44:41,986
Speaker 1: of us went with the Bears, which is a hot

888
00:44:42,026 --> 00:44:46,786
Speaker 1: pick right now, and neither of us went way off

889
00:44:46,786 --> 00:44:49,586
Speaker 1: the board with something crazy as like the Vikings or

890
00:44:49,626 --> 00:44:52,106
Speaker 1: the Cardinals or anything like that. Our only difference was

891
00:44:52,386 --> 00:44:56,026
Speaker 1: Cowboys for you, Seahawks for me. The seedings are different.

892
00:44:56,346 --> 00:44:59,186
Speaker 1: So now I need you to work for the next

893
00:44:59,226 --> 00:45:02,426
Speaker 1: forty eight hours and preparing your Super Bowl pick. So

894
00:45:02,946 --> 00:45:05,786
Speaker 1: take some time figure out your sup rollo pick. I'm

895
00:45:05,786 --> 00:45:08,586
Speaker 1: gonna give my but let's leave it here as we

Speaker 1: gonna fore bro dinner for one with a book. I'm

905
00:45:37,306 --> 00:45:40,986
Speaker 1: listening to an audio book, uh, the book about Mike

906
00:45:41,146 --> 00:45:44,986
Speaker 1: Nichols by the great writer Mark Harris, which is fascinating.

907
00:45:45,026 --> 00:45:48,066
Speaker 1: Mike Nichols of course, The Graduate and so many other

908
00:45:48,146 --> 00:45:51,146
Speaker 1: films and a legendary guy, and like, I love listening

909
00:45:51,146 --> 00:45:53,346
Speaker 1: to that kind of stuff. Yeah. No, I'm not listening

910
00:45:53,386 --> 00:45:56,066
Speaker 1: to sports stuff. I'm listening to the The Almanac. Note

911
00:45:56,106 --> 00:45:56,746
Speaker 1: I'm listening to that.

912
00:45:57,826 --> 00:45:59,986
Speaker 2: If you do want a good audio book, the please

913
00:45:59,986 --> 00:46:03,986
Speaker 2: sports related. There's a really good biography of this NFL legend,

914
00:46:03,986 --> 00:46:04,706
Speaker 2: Bo Williams.

915
00:46:07,786 --> 00:46:11,706
Speaker 1: Bo Williams went in the fourteenth round of some draft

916
00:46:11,906 --> 00:46:14,706
Speaker 1: in like you know whatever. I don't even want to

917
00:46:15,026 --> 00:46:17,146
Speaker 1: reveal where it was, but yeah, didn't talk to this

918
00:46:17,226 --> 00:46:19,586
