WEBVTT - The Season with Peter Schrager: NFL Prediction Week

0:00:07.266 --> 0:00:09.706
<v Speaker 1>The Season with Peter Schrager is a production of the

0:00:09.786 --> 0:00:27.986
<v Speaker 1>NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's up, everybody, We are here.

0:00:28.266 --> 0:00:30.786
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we've been walking in the desert for months.

0:00:30.866 --> 0:00:35.506
<v Speaker 1>We've been doing episodes from the Combine, We've been doing

0:00:35.546 --> 0:00:39.506
<v Speaker 1>episodes from the draft, and then there was that long

0:00:39.626 --> 0:00:45.866
<v Speaker 1>summer of just projections and hypotheticals and contract holdouts and

0:00:46.026 --> 0:00:51.186
<v Speaker 1>long explainers on the Dynamic Kickoff. There's been long explainers

0:00:51.186 --> 0:01:00.186
<v Speaker 1>on Hassan Reddick. We're here. Football is here. I'm sorry

0:01:00.226 --> 0:01:03.066
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't spend three weeks doing fantasy football prep

0:01:03.066 --> 0:01:07.186
<v Speaker 1>with you guys. I know that probably didn't help the listenership.

0:01:07.266 --> 0:01:10.306
<v Speaker 1>I know I could have had you know, Matthew Berry

0:01:10.426 --> 0:01:14.066
<v Speaker 1>or the underdog Fantasy guys on or someone, and we

0:01:14.106 --> 0:01:16.146
<v Speaker 1>could have pumped up the numbers. But I wasn't gonna

0:01:16.146 --> 0:01:18.506
<v Speaker 1>do you like that. You go elsewhere for that. You

0:01:18.586 --> 0:01:22.386
<v Speaker 1>find your fancy Fault podcast. If you're listening to this podcast,

0:01:22.626 --> 0:01:25.746
<v Speaker 1>it's for hardcore football, it's for analysiss for some of

0:01:25.786 --> 0:01:30.386
<v Speaker 1>the best guests, and it's for my man, Aaron wang Kaufman. Aaron,

0:01:31.106 --> 0:01:35.306
<v Speaker 1>we're here. It's football season, and it is as we

0:01:35.346 --> 0:01:37.986
<v Speaker 1>record this on a Tuesday. We are now forty eight

0:01:38.026 --> 0:01:42.146
<v Speaker 1>hours away. Are you excited or are you nervous and dreading?

0:01:42.226 --> 0:01:44.306
<v Speaker 1>As a Bills fan, I can imagine this is an

0:01:44.306 --> 0:01:46.426
<v Speaker 1>interesting time considering the offseason you guys had.

0:01:46.626 --> 0:01:49.586
<v Speaker 2>I mean I'm a little bit of both, partly because

0:01:49.826 --> 0:01:52.906
<v Speaker 2>later this evening, late this evening, I have my New

0:01:52.986 --> 0:01:56.706
<v Speaker 2>York City Fantasy League draft. Okay, so I haven't gotten

0:01:56.746 --> 0:01:58.426
<v Speaker 2>any any sleepers from.

0:01:59.946 --> 0:02:01.826
<v Speaker 1>A sleeper Shakir. I like him this year.

0:02:01.946 --> 0:02:04.106
<v Speaker 2>I mean, as a as a Bills fan, It's not

0:02:04.146 --> 0:02:08.186
<v Speaker 2>asleep because I've been all in on Sheer. No, I'm stoked.

0:02:08.426 --> 0:02:12.426
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. I I'm really excited. I mean, just

0:02:12.546 --> 0:02:15.386
<v Speaker 2>from the Bill's perspective, playing against the Cardinals, who have

0:02:15.466 --> 0:02:18.986
<v Speaker 2>Marvin Harrison Junior, getting to see Trey McBride some more.

0:02:19.066 --> 0:02:21.466
<v Speaker 2>It's an exciting first week. I think there are a

0:02:21.506 --> 0:02:23.186
<v Speaker 2>lot of really exciting first games.

0:02:23.186 --> 0:02:26.146
<v Speaker 1>That first game is a trap game written all over it, Dude,

0:02:26.146 --> 0:02:31.906
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo, right Arizona. Arizona comes in everyone expecting Buffalo

0:02:31.946 --> 0:02:33.866
<v Speaker 1>to have an easy like that one's got trap game

0:02:33.906 --> 0:02:36.106
<v Speaker 1>written all over it. I hope they're not gonna take

0:02:36.106 --> 0:02:38.426
<v Speaker 1>that one for granted. That. By the way, those those

0:02:38.506 --> 0:02:41.106
<v Speaker 1>two teams. One of my favorite games in recent memory

0:02:41.226 --> 0:02:44.306
<v Speaker 1>was the Hail Murray Hail Murray. Those two teams went

0:02:44.346 --> 0:02:46.746
<v Speaker 1>at it, no doubt, I think that's cool, but.

0:02:46.826 --> 0:02:48.626
<v Speaker 2>One of my least favorite games. Yeah.

0:02:48.706 --> 0:02:51.426
<v Speaker 1>Whatever, the Bills figured it out that year. They were fine.

0:02:51.466 --> 0:02:55.866
<v Speaker 1>You guys went pretty far that season. All right. I'll

0:02:55.906 --> 0:02:57.626
<v Speaker 1>tell you one thing that was funny. You like this

0:02:57.866 --> 0:03:01.906
<v Speaker 1>and I can't out who it was and whatever. One

0:03:01.946 --> 0:03:04.146
<v Speaker 1>thing that I find it's very personal to me. Once

0:03:04.186 --> 0:03:05.986
<v Speaker 1>a year, I'll hear from people and it's like, yeah, bro,

0:03:06.066 --> 0:03:08.186
<v Speaker 1>I got my fantasy draft tonight, Like, give me some sleepers.

0:03:08.746 --> 0:03:11.986
<v Speaker 1>You okay, that's my response, bleep it if you have

0:03:12.066 --> 0:03:15.226
<v Speaker 1>to aaron you like I I hear you from you

0:03:15.266 --> 0:03:17.386
<v Speaker 1>once a year, dude, Like my fantasy draft tonight, got

0:03:17.386 --> 0:03:21.746
<v Speaker 1>any sleepers? Like there's nothing more insulting this, Like, no,

0:03:22.186 --> 0:03:24.986
<v Speaker 1>I don't and don't text me the day of your draft.

0:03:24.986 --> 0:03:26.426
<v Speaker 1>Do I have to know what? Do I what I

0:03:26.466 --> 0:03:29.146
<v Speaker 1>look like? No, so one guy did it and I

0:03:29.186 --> 0:03:30.786
<v Speaker 1>don't even know this guy. Well, like it's one of

0:03:30.786 --> 0:03:32.666
<v Speaker 1>those guys who like got my memories and he wasn't

0:03:32.706 --> 0:03:34.386
<v Speaker 1>even friendly in the text. He was like, got any

0:03:34.386 --> 0:03:37.066
<v Speaker 1>sleepers for my fantasy draft, and I wrote back draft

0:03:37.066 --> 0:03:41.426
<v Speaker 1>bo Williams late, no such player, no such player as

0:03:41.426 --> 0:03:45.506
<v Speaker 1>Bo Williams. I don't know anyone. And he didn't respond,

0:03:45.906 --> 0:03:47.906
<v Speaker 1>and then he wrote back thumbs up. So I don't

0:03:47.906 --> 0:03:52.226
<v Speaker 1>know if he took bo Williams. But that was my

0:03:52.266 --> 0:03:54.866
<v Speaker 1>favorite thing I did this week. So yeah, that was

0:03:54.946 --> 0:03:56.626
<v Speaker 1>that was good. That was a win. Some people just

0:03:56.626 --> 0:03:58.626
<v Speaker 1>didn't respond to And if you listen to the podcast,

0:03:58.666 --> 0:04:01.666
<v Speaker 1>I apologize, like I just it just it's it's really insulting.

0:04:01.866 --> 0:04:04.106
<v Speaker 1>The only thing worse is when someone texts me and says, hey,

0:04:04.426 --> 0:04:07.186
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to Bengals Chiefs. Can I on the field?

0:04:07.266 --> 0:04:09.226
<v Speaker 1>It's like a golf like. No, I don't do like

0:04:09.266 --> 0:04:13.306
<v Speaker 1>I don't work in the ticket office. No. Anyway, that's

0:04:13.346 --> 0:04:16.026
<v Speaker 1>my airing of grievances. If I'm seeming a little bit

0:04:16.066 --> 0:04:18.026
<v Speaker 1>on edge, it's because I am, once again in one

0:04:18.026 --> 0:04:21.346
<v Speaker 1>of these sleepless weeks. I am in Los Angeles and

0:04:21.386 --> 0:04:24.826
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning Football starts at five am local. My alarm

0:04:24.866 --> 0:04:26.906
<v Speaker 1>goes off at two forty five am local. I am

0:04:26.946 --> 0:04:28.506
<v Speaker 1>blessed to do it. I get it. But when you

0:04:28.546 --> 0:04:31.346
<v Speaker 1>get to the middle of the week, and the world

0:04:31.426 --> 0:04:33.666
<v Speaker 1>just seems upside down. I don't think I have vertico,

0:04:33.746 --> 0:04:36.466
<v Speaker 1>but I might. And I also, you know, I can't

0:04:36.506 --> 0:04:38.626
<v Speaker 1>just go to sleep at three o'clock in the afternoon.

0:04:38.706 --> 0:04:42.426
<v Speaker 1>So I'm here, I'm delirious. We're recording this. I'm in LA.

0:04:42.826 --> 0:04:45.626
<v Speaker 1>Good morning. Football has been awesome this week Aaron's in

0:04:45.666 --> 0:04:50.506
<v Speaker 1>New York. I did have one cool experience, cool ass experience.

0:04:50.546 --> 0:04:52.506
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you might say you might not want

0:04:52.546 --> 0:04:55.506
<v Speaker 1>to share that with everybody. It's I met a guy.

0:04:55.986 --> 0:04:57.466
<v Speaker 1>The guy came up to me say he's a fan

0:04:57.506 --> 0:05:00.706
<v Speaker 1>of the show. His name is Kunall. Great dude. Kunall

0:05:00.866 --> 0:05:03.106
<v Speaker 1>was like, I'm living La. If you ever want to

0:05:03.106 --> 0:05:05.666
<v Speaker 1>play an amazing golf course, I'm a member at a

0:05:05.666 --> 0:05:08.546
<v Speaker 1>golf club. You're welcome to play with me. And not

0:05:08.666 --> 0:05:10.946
<v Speaker 1>a moment too soon with I said, yeah, I'm actually

0:05:10.986 --> 0:05:13.506
<v Speaker 1>coming to La Monday, Like, can I play this golf course?

0:05:13.866 --> 0:05:16.386
<v Speaker 1>I got to play bell Air on Monday, which is

0:05:16.386 --> 0:05:20.066
<v Speaker 1>one of the top courses in the entire world. I

0:05:20.066 --> 0:05:23.426
<v Speaker 1>didn't play well, but as a novice golfer, this was

0:05:23.506 --> 0:05:27.706
<v Speaker 1>like like check mark another bucket list moment. I loved it.

0:05:27.906 --> 0:05:31.106
<v Speaker 1>Kunal and two of his buddies and me. I probably

0:05:31.146 --> 0:05:35.386
<v Speaker 1>shot a one fifty horrible, but this was the coolest

0:05:35.426 --> 0:05:38.066
<v Speaker 1>course I've ever played on. Can I explain? There are

0:05:38.586 --> 0:05:41.866
<v Speaker 1>tunnels throughout this thing. There is a bridge called the

0:05:41.946 --> 0:05:45.186
<v Speaker 1>Swinging Bridge that is like a shaky bridge that connects it.

0:05:46.546 --> 0:05:50.986
<v Speaker 1>Awesome course, ton of history, many famous members. I don't

0:05:50.986 --> 0:05:53.466
<v Speaker 1>know how these country club rules work. I'm allowed to

0:05:53.466 --> 0:05:56.186
<v Speaker 1>mention the members. I don't know. But I was there

0:05:56.226 --> 0:05:58.266
<v Speaker 1>for the golf baby and it was great, and then

0:05:58.266 --> 0:06:02.986
<v Speaker 1>I had a delicious chopsalad afterwards in the clubhouse. Again

0:06:03.226 --> 0:06:06.346
<v Speaker 1>no pictures allowed and no social media, which I think

0:06:06.426 --> 0:06:08.066
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of cool. I wish the world was

0:06:08.106 --> 0:06:11.066
<v Speaker 1>more like that sometimes, so I have no picture of

0:06:11.106 --> 0:06:13.666
<v Speaker 1>me like putting in a cool shot. It also didn't happen.

0:06:13.706 --> 0:06:15.866
<v Speaker 1>I didn't make any cool putts. I played pretty terribly,

0:06:15.986 --> 0:06:21.106
<v Speaker 1>but again, very fun. The one thing was, you know,

0:06:21.346 --> 0:06:24.026
<v Speaker 1>I would have preferred probably taken a cart. I walked

0:06:24.026 --> 0:06:25.346
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. It's a ton of hills and I

0:06:25.346 --> 0:06:28.066
<v Speaker 1>didn't bring my golf shoes our golf club. So couonall

0:06:28.226 --> 0:06:30.986
<v Speaker 1>great dude, couonall hooks me up and it's like I

0:06:31.066 --> 0:06:34.586
<v Speaker 1>got you same size shoe you'll wear mine. I was

0:06:34.626 --> 0:06:38.466
<v Speaker 1>in so much pain. I walked twenty six thousand steps yesterday.

0:06:39.266 --> 0:06:41.586
<v Speaker 1>It seems like a lot, right, it seems like a lot.

0:06:41.626 --> 0:06:46.506
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's that's maybe. Uh. I don't know

0:06:46.666 --> 0:06:50.506
<v Speaker 2>how many miles. About twelve miles.

0:06:50.306 --> 0:06:52.706
<v Speaker 1>Is that right? I walked twelve miles. Yeah, that's a lot.

0:06:52.866 --> 0:06:56.506
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of walking. Yeah. It's good. Yeah, and

0:06:56.546 --> 0:06:59.386
<v Speaker 1>it was fun. But like I'm toast today, we did

0:06:59.426 --> 0:07:03.106
<v Speaker 1>the show Good Morning Football. Was great, and then I

0:07:03.186 --> 0:07:07.226
<v Speaker 1>did Chris Russo Mad Dog Radio. I did a spot

0:07:07.266 --> 0:07:08.866
<v Speaker 1>with him I'm gona be doing on Tuesdays and that

0:07:08.986 --> 0:07:10.746
<v Speaker 1>was an absolute blast. Remember we had him on our

0:07:10.786 --> 0:07:11.706
<v Speaker 1>podcast back at.

0:07:11.626 --> 0:07:12.786
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl Yeah, super Bowl.

0:07:12.866 --> 0:07:16.106
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So it's been really cool. It's been a busy

0:07:16.186 --> 0:07:19.226
<v Speaker 1>time and it all leads up to a wild NFL

0:07:19.306 --> 0:07:23.306
<v Speaker 1>schedule of Thursday night Chiefs Ravens on NBC with our

0:07:23.346 --> 0:07:28.786

<v Speaker 1>just Niners versus Jets with Troy and Joe on the

0:07:51.266 --> 0:07:53.746
<v Speaker 1>call and the return of Aaron Rodgers. But if you're

0:07:53.746 --> 0:07:58.346
<v Speaker 1>listening to this podcast, you know I'm mister Crystal Ball

0:07:58.826 --> 0:08:00.946
<v Speaker 1>and I like to give you some predictions. I want

0:08:00.986 --> 0:08:03.346
<v Speaker 1>Aaron to participate and did it as well. What we're

0:08:03.386 --> 0:08:06.986
<v Speaker 1>gonna do is we're gonna go through our season long addictions,

0:08:07.026 --> 0:08:09.466
<v Speaker 1>not our Bowl takes, not our hot takes, not our

0:08:09.466 --> 0:08:12.306
<v Speaker 1>fantasy football wide receiver sevens that you have to draft,

0:08:13.346 --> 0:08:16.826
<v Speaker 1>no information on Bo Williams, not a real player, although

0:08:16.826 --> 0:08:19.146
<v Speaker 1>I hope he's on at least one fantasy team somewhere.

0:08:21.706 --> 0:08:23.226
<v Speaker 1>And what we're gonna do is we're gonna give him

0:08:23.226 --> 0:08:26.946
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast, but then on Thursday after I announce

0:08:27.026 --> 0:08:29.706
<v Speaker 1>it on Good Morning Football. And I understand that everyone's

0:08:29.866 --> 0:08:32.226
<v Speaker 1>watching Good Morning Football on Thursday. Some of you work

0:08:33.146 --> 0:08:34.946
<v Speaker 1>and you can't be in front of a television, which

0:08:34.986 --> 0:08:39.466
<v Speaker 1>is respectable. I appreciate employment in this world. I'm gonna

0:08:39.466 --> 0:08:41.466
<v Speaker 1>do a little separate pod and I'll talk about my

0:08:41.506 --> 0:08:44.386
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl pick, which as we know, has taken on

0:08:44.466 --> 0:08:46.546
<v Speaker 1>a life of its own and there's great pressure behind

0:08:46.626 --> 0:08:48.546
<v Speaker 1>it before I even get to the super Bowl. Pick Aaron.

0:08:49.626 --> 0:08:52.906
<v Speaker 1>I have two like alternate approaches to this, one of

0:08:52.946 --> 0:08:57.346
<v Speaker 1>them being this crazy off the waw off like the like,

0:08:58.106 --> 0:09:00.426
<v Speaker 1>I have two teams I really like that are not

0:09:01.106 --> 0:09:02.426
<v Speaker 1>everybody like. I kind of want to put them in

0:09:02.426 --> 0:09:04.426
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs and just fine, and then I kind of

0:09:04.426 --> 0:09:05.746
<v Speaker 1>want to put them in the super Bowl and just

0:09:05.786 --> 0:09:08.866
<v Speaker 1>shock everyone, oh and be like drop the mic. You

0:09:08.906 --> 0:09:10.546
<v Speaker 1>want to know who knows something? I know something. I'm

0:09:10.586 --> 0:09:11.866
<v Speaker 1>a soothsayer. I get it right every year. And I'm

0:09:11.866 --> 0:09:13.826
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you these two teams. And then I've got

0:09:13.826 --> 0:09:18.266
<v Speaker 1>two picks, two safer choices still to pick the right

0:09:18.306 --> 0:09:23.426
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. There's no Yeah, I've done it last several years,

0:09:23.546 --> 0:09:26.866
<v Speaker 1>but I've got two more safer ones. And you know,

0:09:27.146 --> 0:09:30.546
<v Speaker 1>career wise, is it better to keep this thing going

0:09:30.626 --> 0:09:32.826
<v Speaker 1>and pick maybe the more or is it better take

0:09:32.866 --> 0:09:36.266
<v Speaker 1>the big ass swing and say is it. I'm going

0:09:36.386 --> 0:09:38.666
<v Speaker 1>with this one because I just feel like this year

0:09:38.746 --> 0:09:40.906
<v Speaker 1>is going to be crazy and these two teams are

0:09:40.946 --> 0:09:43.226
<v Speaker 1>the ones I'm into. And everyone just blow their mind

0:09:43.266 --> 0:09:45.906
<v Speaker 1>and say, Shreger's crazy, but Shreker's always right. But Shreker's crazy,

0:09:46.026 --> 0:09:47.866
<v Speaker 1>but Shreker's always right. What do you think? Eron where

0:09:47.906 --> 0:09:48.266
<v Speaker 1>do I go?

0:09:49.346 --> 0:09:52.426
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would suggest getting a good night's sleep,

0:09:52.546 --> 0:09:54.866
<v Speaker 2>maybe making the pick, not on a day that you

0:09:54.946 --> 0:09:57.346
<v Speaker 2>just walk twenty six miles yep or twenty two miles

0:09:57.386 --> 0:10:01.986
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was yep, Because yeah, I think it's cool

0:10:02.026 --> 0:10:07.026
<v Speaker 2>to make an exciting choice, but you are You're known

0:10:07.106 --> 0:10:09.506
<v Speaker 2>for making the right one, so I know, you know,

0:10:09.746 --> 0:10:12.466
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it's if you believe that these

0:10:12.506 --> 0:10:16.666
<v Speaker 2>two outlandish choices actually could be correct, and like there's

0:10:16.706 --> 0:10:19.386
<v Speaker 2>a good chance. Yeah, I mean that could go for it.

0:10:19.426 --> 0:10:20.786
<v Speaker 1>But okay, so I'm going to think about you, right,

0:10:20.866 --> 0:10:23.826
<v Speaker 1>take a good night's rest. It's like I'm in one

0:10:23.866 --> 0:10:27.266
<v Speaker 1>of these hotels that's on the highway, uh and as

0:10:27.306 --> 0:10:32.506
<v Speaker 1>glam as glamorous as that sounds like, I go Table

0:10:32.546 --> 0:10:34.586
<v Speaker 1>for One for dinner at four thirty when I'm in

0:10:34.746 --> 0:10:36.906
<v Speaker 1>LA because I got to get to sleep somehow and

0:10:36.986 --> 0:10:40.986
<v Speaker 1>it's bright out and it's like I tonight, I'm planning

0:10:40.986 --> 0:10:44.146
<v Speaker 1>on walking across the street to a chain restaurant that

0:10:44.186 --> 0:10:45.946
<v Speaker 1>I will not mention that we all know and love

0:10:46.346 --> 0:10:49.826
<v Speaker 1>Table for one and like seriously sitting down and writing

0:10:49.866 --> 0:10:51.666
<v Speaker 1>with a pendon pad table for one sat as it

0:10:51.666 --> 0:10:55.386
<v Speaker 1>could be, and like pros and cons of like which

0:10:55.426 --> 0:10:58.426
<v Speaker 1>way to go of going big swing and you know,

0:10:58.546 --> 0:11:01.546
<v Speaker 1>trying to make headlines but also believing in both these teams,

0:11:02.066 --> 0:11:04.626
<v Speaker 1>or let's try to get this thing right and knowing

0:11:04.706 --> 0:11:06.986
<v Speaker 1>that there's a far greater chance that these two other

0:11:07.026 --> 0:11:09.466
<v Speaker 1>teams are gonna make it. We'll see, you know. Uh,

0:11:09.786 --> 0:11:13.026
<v Speaker 1>fortune favors the bold, but fortune also favors getting things

0:11:13.106 --> 0:11:21.786
<v Speaker 1>right five years in a row. Whatever else. All right,

0:11:22.106 --> 0:11:25.786
<v Speaker 1>let's do some awards, let's let's do some let's do

0:11:25.866 --> 0:11:29.066
<v Speaker 1>some suits saying let's do some predictions. Aaron, here's how

0:11:29.066 --> 0:11:30.586
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do it. I'm gonna set this up and

0:11:30.626 --> 0:11:33.266
<v Speaker 1>I will break the fourth wall. I was debating do

0:11:33.306 --> 0:11:35.626
<v Speaker 1>we want to bring on a guest this week? And

0:11:35.706 --> 0:11:38.266
<v Speaker 1>like preview the season, I was thinking, do I want

0:11:38.306 --> 0:11:39.706
<v Speaker 1>to bring on a coach? Because I could have gotten

0:11:39.706 --> 0:11:41.746
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of coaches this week because it's early in

0:11:41.786 --> 0:11:43.586
<v Speaker 1>the week and they don't play all Sunday, and like

0:11:43.826 --> 0:11:45.626
<v Speaker 1>we could have done the big you know, deep dive

0:11:45.666 --> 0:11:49.626
<v Speaker 1>on you know, Brian Callahan or Zach Taylor and really

0:11:49.626 --> 0:11:51.266
<v Speaker 1>gotten to it. But then I'm like that's so focused

0:11:51.266 --> 0:11:53.906
<v Speaker 1>on one team usually when we have on those guests, Like,

0:11:54.186 --> 0:11:57.506
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're looking to do that. Instead, let's

0:11:57.506 --> 0:12:00.306
<v Speaker 1>go big picture, let's go predictions, and let's you and

0:12:00.426 --> 0:12:02.306
<v Speaker 1>me do it. I think it's enough of a cool

0:12:02.346 --> 0:12:05.946
<v Speaker 1>episode where it's Aaron and Peter Peter and Aaron's predictions

0:12:05.946 --> 0:12:07.946
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what you've got up your sleeve.

0:12:08.106 --> 0:12:10.186
<v Speaker 1>I know you've spent all day to day going through

0:12:10.186 --> 0:12:14.666
<v Speaker 1>these things, and I've been doing the work myself over

0:12:14.666 --> 0:12:19.146
<v Speaker 1>the last several weeks. Let's start off with my offensive

0:12:19.226 --> 0:12:23.746
<v Speaker 1>rookie of the year. I just got done spending the

0:12:23.906 --> 0:12:26.666
<v Speaker 1>entire summer on the phones with all of these coaches,

0:12:26.706 --> 0:12:29.706
<v Speaker 1>and I've been so dialed in on a lot of

0:12:29.706 --> 0:12:32.666
<v Speaker 1>the rookie performances that I think this might be one

0:12:32.706 --> 0:12:35.706
<v Speaker 1>of those rare, really good rookie classes. That's not a shocker,

0:12:35.706 --> 0:12:38.306
<v Speaker 1>but I'm talking like one that was as good as

0:12:38.346 --> 0:12:43.346
<v Speaker 1>like that class that had Herbert and two and Jefferson

0:12:43.706 --> 0:12:45.786
<v Speaker 1>and Cede Lamb. Like, I think we're looking at one

0:12:45.786 --> 0:12:49.186
<v Speaker 1>of those psycho classes. Yeah, forgot Burrow. He was the

0:12:49.226 --> 0:12:52.186
<v Speaker 1>first pick in that draft. It's been a while, though,

0:12:52.226 --> 0:12:53.706
<v Speaker 1>like we've had a bunch of drafts with a bunch

0:12:53.706 --> 0:12:55.466
<v Speaker 1>of quarterback whiffs. I don't think we're gonna get it.

0:12:55.866 --> 0:12:58.106
<v Speaker 1>I think three quarterbacks in particular are going to be

0:12:58.186 --> 0:13:00.106
<v Speaker 1>very good this year. I think Caleb's going to be good.

0:13:00.106 --> 0:13:01.586
<v Speaker 1>I think Nicks is going to be good, and I

0:13:01.586 --> 0:13:03.426
<v Speaker 1>think Jayden Daniel is going to be good. But I

0:13:03.466 --> 0:13:04.666
<v Speaker 1>think one of them is going to be the better

0:13:04.746 --> 0:13:06.426
<v Speaker 1>one of all of them. And that's my breakout player

0:13:06.466 --> 0:13:08.666
<v Speaker 1>of the year. It's a guy, no secret I've fallen

0:13:08.706 --> 0:13:10.706
<v Speaker 1>in love with. He's got crazy joints that he can

0:13:10.746 --> 0:13:13.426
<v Speaker 1>do these wild dances with his elbows. I'm talking about

0:13:13.506 --> 0:13:16.706
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Daniels and Washington. That's my offensive rookie of the year.

0:13:16.746 --> 0:13:20.306
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna uplift everybody in that market. And

0:13:20.346 --> 0:13:22.986
<v Speaker 1>what's gonna be an interesting thing. There's gonna be a

0:13:23.066 --> 0:13:25.826
<v Speaker 1>duality going on. You're gonna have this great story of

0:13:25.906 --> 0:13:28.146
<v Speaker 1>the Commanders being a surprise team in the NFC, and

0:13:28.186 --> 0:13:29.666
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they go to the playoffs, but

0:13:29.666 --> 0:13:31.226
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be good this year. I think they're gonna

0:13:31.226 --> 0:13:34.466
<v Speaker 1>be better and Daniels is gonna wow you every weekend, and

0:13:34.466 --> 0:13:37.146
<v Speaker 1>then you're gonna have this bat crazy election going on

0:13:37.146 --> 0:13:40.026
<v Speaker 1>at the same time in DC. So you've got great

0:13:40.066 --> 0:13:44.706
<v Speaker 1>football story and likely wild election season going on, and

0:13:44.746 --> 0:13:46.786
<v Speaker 1>it's all gonna be going on in the Beltway. I

0:13:46.786 --> 0:13:51.146
<v Speaker 1>think Daniels might steal some headlines from both presidential candidates

0:13:51.186 --> 0:13:54.146
<v Speaker 1>and their vice presidents. I think it's gonna be the

0:13:54.226 --> 0:13:56.826
<v Speaker 1>Jaden Daniels show in DC. And we've been through this.

0:13:57.106 --> 0:13:59.986
<v Speaker 1>Robert Griffin. That rookie year was a sensation and it

0:14:00.066 --> 0:14:01.906
<v Speaker 1>was a blast to watch, and it was such a

0:14:01.906 --> 0:14:04.026
<v Speaker 1>thrill and we know how it all went down afterwards.

0:14:04.266 --> 0:14:07.026
<v Speaker 1>But that first year, right out of the gates New Orleans,

0:14:07.026 --> 0:14:08.866
<v Speaker 1>he throws the touchdown, he's on his back, he does

0:14:08.866 --> 0:14:10.986
<v Speaker 1>that whole thing. I think Jayden Daniel is gonna be

0:14:11.026 --> 0:14:13.906
<v Speaker 1>something similar in his first year. And I think in

0:14:13.946 --> 0:14:16.066
<v Speaker 1>his first game he might come out of the out

0:14:16.066 --> 0:14:18.746
<v Speaker 1>of the gates just firing away and making things happen.

0:14:18.826 --> 0:14:22.826
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna go Jaden Daniels as my offensive rookie

0:14:22.866 --> 0:14:24.946
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. Aaron, you're on the clock, who do

0:14:25.026 --> 0:14:25.386
<v Speaker 1>you say?

0:14:25.586 --> 0:14:27.506
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go a little more chalk. I think I'm

0:14:27.506 --> 0:14:32.946
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with Caleb because I think he has There's

0:14:32.986 --> 0:14:35.666
<v Speaker 2>been plenty of narrative already about he has such an

0:14:35.706 --> 0:14:38.666
<v Speaker 2>incredible setup on the offensive side. He's got all these

0:14:38.666 --> 0:14:42.346
<v Speaker 2>weapons to play with. Dj Moore, Keenan Allen, who you

0:14:42.386 --> 0:14:45.866
<v Speaker 2>know used to be We mentioned him earlier justin Herbert's

0:14:45.906 --> 0:14:49.346
<v Speaker 2>safety blanket, and now Caleb has him. And I just

0:14:49.426 --> 0:14:52.946
<v Speaker 2>think the connection between Caleb and Rome. I think we're

0:14:52.986 --> 0:14:55.746
<v Speaker 2>gonna be talking about it a lot as the year progresses,

0:14:55.826 --> 0:14:59.226
<v Speaker 2>and I I just can't wait for Caleb to get

0:14:59.266 --> 0:15:02.186
<v Speaker 2>a couple short passes in and then take a long

0:15:02.266 --> 0:15:04.946
<v Speaker 2>bomb down to Rome on the sideline and like just

0:15:04.986 --> 0:15:07.906
<v Speaker 2>some highlight plays. So I I think Caleb is my

0:15:08.066 --> 0:15:09.466
<v Speaker 2>choice for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

0:15:09.546 --> 0:15:11.546
<v Speaker 1>I love it all right, Defensive Rookie of the Year,

0:15:11.626 --> 0:15:16.346
<v Speaker 1>not as not as glamorous of a gig. I couldn't

0:15:16.346 --> 0:15:18.626
<v Speaker 1>tell you offhand, and maybe you can google it for me.

0:15:19.066 --> 0:15:21.386
<v Speaker 1>My brain is fried who won it last year? I

0:15:21.426 --> 0:15:25.066
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I feel like it's probably a household name,

0:15:25.226 --> 0:15:28.186
<v Speaker 1>but you know, as you google, it was it ya

0:15:28.346 --> 0:15:30.146
<v Speaker 1>ya d Yabi? Was it Brian was young?

0:15:30.226 --> 0:15:32.586
<v Speaker 2>It was with Houston's Will Anderson.

0:15:32.706 --> 0:15:36.306
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, solid, Like no one's got Will Anderson winning Defensive

0:15:36.306 --> 0:15:37.986
<v Speaker 1>Player of the Year This year. It's not like he was.

0:15:38.306 --> 0:15:40.466
<v Speaker 1>It's really hard as a rookie to like be a

0:15:40.546 --> 0:15:43.066
<v Speaker 1>huge breakout player on defense. I think Chase Young was

0:15:43.066 --> 0:15:46.186
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago. Michael Parsons was, But like offensive

0:15:46.266 --> 0:15:48.746
<v Speaker 1>is like every kid's buying your jersey. Defensive, it's like,

0:15:48.746 --> 0:15:50.426
<v Speaker 1>all right, that was a good start to your career.

0:15:50.426 --> 0:15:54.186
<v Speaker 1>It's really hard to dominate. Year one. My defensive rookie

0:15:54.186 --> 0:15:55.506
<v Speaker 1>of the year. I go to the La Rams. I

0:15:55.506 --> 0:15:59.146
<v Speaker 1>go Jared Verse, the pass rusher out of Florida State.

0:15:59.226 --> 0:16:02.706
<v Speaker 1>Cool story with him. Started off at Albany as a

0:16:02.746 --> 0:16:05.786
<v Speaker 1>Great Dane his first two years at the University of Albany,

0:16:05.866 --> 0:16:09.826
<v Speaker 1>transfer to Florida State, had an awesome career. Two time

0:16:09.946 --> 0:16:13.746
<v Speaker 1>All American, two time All acc goes without saying, and

0:16:13.946 --> 0:16:17.226
<v Speaker 1>he was the nineteenth overall pick and was outstanding during

0:16:17.226 --> 0:16:20.186
<v Speaker 1>the summer workouts and I was at practice for the Rams.

0:16:20.226 --> 0:16:24.146
<v Speaker 1>He's flying all over the field. Interesting draft in that

0:16:24.226 --> 0:16:27.786
<v Speaker 1>the first fifteen players, I want to say, maybe the

0:16:27.826 --> 0:16:31.146
<v Speaker 1>first fourteen players were all offensive players. So this isn't

0:16:31.146 --> 0:16:33.866
<v Speaker 1>a big defensive rookie class. As far as household names go.

0:16:34.026 --> 0:16:37.026
<v Speaker 1>There are guys which makes it wide open for defensive

0:16:37.066 --> 0:16:39.826
<v Speaker 1>Rookie of the Year and Aaron. If I'm going Jared Verse,

0:16:39.826 --> 0:16:41.026
<v Speaker 1>who are you going? That's yours?

0:16:42.346 --> 0:16:45.546
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going with Terry and Arnold. Okay, cornerback for

0:16:45.586 --> 0:16:48.706
<v Speaker 2>the Detroit Lions. I think that that is a position

0:16:48.786 --> 0:16:52.266
<v Speaker 2>that they really blatantly needed, and I think if he

0:16:52.306 --> 0:16:54.946
<v Speaker 2>can step it up and that defense plays well, there

0:16:54.986 --> 0:16:59.466
<v Speaker 2>will be such a great narrative for him. Because everyone

0:16:59.546 --> 0:17:01.706
<v Speaker 2>is so hyped about the Lions already that if they

0:17:01.706 --> 0:17:03.986
<v Speaker 2>can clean up some of their weaknesses from last year,

0:17:04.026 --> 0:17:08.026
<v Speaker 2>I think it will really stand out. I I do

0:17:08.186 --> 0:17:10.906
<v Speaker 2>really like Jared Verse. I'm a little worried that he's

0:17:10.946 --> 0:17:11.986
<v Speaker 2>going to get compared to Aaron.

0:17:12.586 --> 0:17:15.626
<v Speaker 3>He's outside, He's outside. It's totally I know, I know,

0:17:15.706 --> 0:17:19.106
<v Speaker 3>but they're losing. They lost the chat. The specter of

0:17:19.146 --> 0:17:23.866
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Donald hangs over that defense. Fair I almost picked

0:17:24.226 --> 0:17:26.906
<v Speaker 3>Quinny on Mitchell, so I don't know. If maybe I'm

0:17:26.946 --> 0:17:30.866
<v Speaker 3>just a cornerback guy. I do think that he also

0:17:30.946 --> 0:17:32.626
<v Speaker 3>could do really well. But I think there's a lot

0:17:33.226 --> 0:17:35.906
<v Speaker 3>more we're concerned about on the offensive side for the Eagles,

0:17:35.906 --> 0:17:38.306
<v Speaker 3>whereas like with the Lions, we kind of know what

0:17:38.346 --> 0:17:40.546
<v Speaker 3>that offense is and I think we're going to be

0:17:40.546 --> 0:17:43.626
<v Speaker 3>really excited about they that's the most good.

0:17:43.226 --> 0:17:45.146
<v Speaker 1>All right. So we've got our offensive rookie of the year,

0:17:45.186 --> 0:17:48.066
<v Speaker 1>our defensive rookie of the year. The next will be the

0:17:48.106 --> 0:17:52.386
<v Speaker 1>defensive player of the year. Last year it was Miles Garrett.

0:17:52.386 --> 0:17:54.426
<v Speaker 1>He had an outstanding season. Many thought it should have

0:17:54.426 --> 0:17:56.106
<v Speaker 1>been t J. Watt. Others said it should have been

0:17:56.146 --> 0:18:00.306
<v Speaker 1>Michael Parsons. There are so many good defensive players in

0:18:00.346 --> 0:18:03.666
<v Speaker 1>this league, So where are we going to go for

0:18:03.746 --> 0:18:07.226
<v Speaker 1>defensive player of the year. I'm going to go with

0:18:07.426 --> 0:18:10.706
<v Speaker 1>a long shot. Sometimes you have to swing big and

0:18:10.746 --> 0:18:13.746
<v Speaker 1>a guy who's just physically gifted in a way that

0:18:13.906 --> 0:18:16.106
<v Speaker 1>few guys are, and someone who I think is gonna

0:18:16.106 --> 0:18:18.426
<v Speaker 1>put up huge sack numbers this year as he's finally

0:18:18.466 --> 0:18:21.786
<v Speaker 1>fully healthy. My defensive player of the year pick, I'm

0:18:21.786 --> 0:18:26.466
<v Speaker 1>going to Green Bay. I'm going with Rashan Gary as

0:18:26.546 --> 0:18:32.946
<v Speaker 1>my defensive player of the year. A sack machine and

0:18:32.986 --> 0:18:35.586
<v Speaker 1>a guy who's finally gonna put it all together. He

0:18:35.706 --> 0:18:38.346
<v Speaker 1>was one of Matt Lafleur's first ever draft picks. And

0:18:38.386 --> 0:18:40.586
<v Speaker 1>I think Rashawon Gary, who I don't see listen in

0:18:40.586 --> 0:18:43.186
<v Speaker 1>the top twenty names on these lists, is going to

0:18:43.266 --> 0:18:46.026
<v Speaker 1>win Defensive Player of the Year. That is my pick. Ooh.

0:18:46.146 --> 0:18:48.946
<v Speaker 2>I like that. That's another team where I feel like

0:18:49.066 --> 0:18:52.386
<v Speaker 2>everyone is in love with Jordan Love and the offense

0:18:52.826 --> 0:18:55.626
<v Speaker 2>and bringing up a defensive guy like that is great.

0:18:55.906 --> 0:18:57.266
<v Speaker 2>I'm very into.

0:18:56.986 --> 0:18:59.106
<v Speaker 1>That, Okay. So that tells you how I feel about

0:18:59.106 --> 0:19:01.546
<v Speaker 1>the Packers this year. If I'm thinking Rashawn Gary would

0:19:01.546 --> 0:19:04.306
<v Speaker 1>be Defensive Player of the Year, that was way off

0:19:04.386 --> 0:19:07.786
<v Speaker 1>the board. Sometimes you got to do that who you taking.

0:19:08.146 --> 0:19:11.666
<v Speaker 2>So I was tempted by Miles Garrett again yep, and

0:19:11.866 --> 0:19:14.386
<v Speaker 2>also TJ Watt. I think that you know, those two

0:19:14.506 --> 0:19:17.506
<v Speaker 2>are are gonna be on this list of potential defensive

0:19:17.506 --> 0:19:19.946
<v Speaker 2>Player of the Years for years to come. And I

0:19:19.946 --> 0:19:21.946
<v Speaker 2>think the other guy on that list is Michael Parsons.

0:19:22.426 --> 0:19:25.266
<v Speaker 2>And I think this year I'm gonna go with Michael Parsons.

0:19:26.546 --> 0:19:30.946
<v Speaker 2>I think we have a lot of discussion about DAK

0:19:31.026 --> 0:19:34.786
<v Speaker 2>and CD just signed. Finally, what's gonna happen with Dak's contract?

0:19:35.026 --> 0:19:37.026
<v Speaker 2>And I think Michael Parsons is gonna come out and

0:19:37.106 --> 0:19:40.106
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna remind everyone that there's another side of that

0:19:40.186 --> 0:19:43.306
<v Speaker 2>team and they are very very good.

0:19:43.586 --> 0:19:47.746
<v Speaker 1>MICHAEH. Parsons is like also in that contract like negotiation thing,

0:19:47.826 --> 0:19:50.746
<v Speaker 1>and you've got this situation where it's like CD got his,

0:19:51.506 --> 0:19:54.826
<v Speaker 1>DAK got his. Is Mike gonna play with his, you know,

0:19:54.906 --> 0:19:57.106
<v Speaker 1>with his ass on fire? He might like he might,

0:19:57.186 --> 0:19:59.106
<v Speaker 1>he might just be completely on him. But I thought

0:19:59.666 --> 0:20:01.546
<v Speaker 1>last year he kind of got lost a little bit

0:20:01.546 --> 0:20:05.186
<v Speaker 1>in the TJ. Watt Miles Garrett discussion. Was kind of

0:20:05.226 --> 0:20:07.906
<v Speaker 1>considered a third guy, and you know, I wonder if

0:20:07.906 --> 0:20:09.026
<v Speaker 1>that motivates him as well.

0:20:09.386 --> 0:20:12.026
<v Speaker 2>All right, who do you have for your Offensive Player

0:20:12.026 --> 0:20:12.426
<v Speaker 2>of the Year.

0:20:12.626 --> 0:20:15.986
<v Speaker 1>That's such a silly Yeah, I'm gonna say Bjeon Robinson

0:20:16.066 --> 0:20:18.306
<v Speaker 1>his mind. But like, I don't even care about this award.

0:20:18.786 --> 0:20:21.586
<v Speaker 1>I don't care, Like I think this award is dumb.

0:20:21.946 --> 0:20:24.866
<v Speaker 1>You've got your MVP, and then you know the MVP

0:20:24.986 --> 0:20:26.946
<v Speaker 1>is not going to be defensive player. Lawrence Taylor was

0:20:26.946 --> 0:20:29.786
<v Speaker 1>the last one to actually like win MVP and that

0:20:29.826 --> 0:20:31.666
<v Speaker 1>was in eighty six. And then you have your defensive player.

0:20:31.666 --> 0:20:33.586
<v Speaker 1>But like, here's the MVP, and then you have your

0:20:33.626 --> 0:20:37.666
<v Speaker 1>offensive player, which is basically like everyone the second place,

0:20:37.706 --> 0:20:39.546
<v Speaker 1>but like not a quarterback. And then some years they

0:20:39.586 --> 0:20:42.786
<v Speaker 1>give it to quarterback. So I'm gonna say this is

0:20:42.826 --> 0:20:44.786
<v Speaker 1>a dumb award. They should do away with it, or

0:20:44.786 --> 0:20:49.066
<v Speaker 1>they should call it non quarterback best non Quarterback. And

0:20:49.066 --> 0:20:51.106
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go be Jeon Robinson, who I've already told

0:20:51.106 --> 0:20:52.306
<v Speaker 1>you I think is going to like tear up the

0:20:52.386 --> 0:20:53.026
<v Speaker 1>league this year.

0:20:53.306 --> 0:20:56.586
<v Speaker 2>I love Bijon. He's one of my favorite players. I

0:20:56.626 --> 0:20:59.186
<v Speaker 2>love him in interviews. I love watching him run the

0:20:59.426 --> 0:21:01.386
<v Speaker 2>I think I even mentioned this last time when you

0:21:01.386 --> 0:21:02.866
<v Speaker 2>brought him up the skycam.

0:21:02.986 --> 0:21:05.626
<v Speaker 1>We get to watch him the catch.

0:21:06.146 --> 0:21:10.826
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh my god, amazing. I'll just really quickly. I'm

0:21:10.826 --> 0:21:12.466
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with a guy I just mentioned. I'm gonna

0:21:12.506 --> 0:21:15.466
<v Speaker 2>go with Ceedee Lamb. I think, Okay, the Cowboys. I

0:21:15.506 --> 0:21:19.466
<v Speaker 2>think he especially in a time when the other kind

0:21:19.466 --> 0:21:22.586
<v Speaker 2>of premiere wide receivers. You got Jefferson, who's going to

0:21:22.626 --> 0:21:26.546
<v Speaker 2>get used to Sam Darnold, and you've got Jordan Addison,

0:21:26.546 --> 0:21:29.306
<v Speaker 2>You've got t J. Hopkinson, he's got other guys flanking him,

0:21:29.346 --> 0:21:32.986
<v Speaker 2>and then you've got Jamar Chase who is not practicing yet.

0:21:33.666 --> 0:21:36.426
<v Speaker 2>Burrow is back from injury, but we'll see how long

0:21:36.466 --> 0:21:39.146
<v Speaker 2>he lasts. Higgins is going to be fighting for his contract.

0:21:39.226 --> 0:21:40.986
<v Speaker 2>I think CD is just going to go out there

0:21:41.026 --> 0:21:43.826
<v Speaker 2>and be He's it. He's that often. I love it,

0:21:43.986 --> 0:21:45.626
<v Speaker 2>so I think he's gonna step it up.

0:21:45.706 --> 0:21:48.586
<v Speaker 1>Are you at all concerned about the fact he didn't

0:21:48.586 --> 0:21:50.586
<v Speaker 1>have a proper training camp that like the first three

0:21:50.626 --> 0:21:52.626
<v Speaker 1>weeks he comes in out of shape and maybe isn't

0:21:52.626 --> 0:21:54.266
<v Speaker 1>what he was at the end of last season where

0:21:54.266 --> 0:21:55.146
<v Speaker 1>he was unstoppable.

0:21:56.106 --> 0:21:59.746
<v Speaker 2>Yes. Do I wish that Jerry Jones had just gotten

0:21:59.786 --> 0:22:02.106
<v Speaker 2>all that done right away? Seed he could have had

0:22:02.106 --> 0:22:02.786
<v Speaker 2>the training camp?

0:22:02.986 --> 0:22:15.226
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, Okay, now we're getting into a different position,

0:22:15.266 --> 0:22:17.386
<v Speaker 4>which is basically an indicator of how you're feeling on

0:22:17.426 --> 0:22:17.906
<v Speaker 4>the season.

0:22:18.386 --> 0:22:22.426
<v Speaker 1>Coach of the year. My coach of the year is

0:22:22.506 --> 0:22:26.666
<v Speaker 1>Mike McDonald of the Seattle Seahawks. I think not to

0:22:26.706 --> 0:22:29.666
<v Speaker 1>be confused with Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers and

0:22:29.666 --> 0:22:31.906
<v Speaker 1>his own solo career which was so magical. What a

0:22:31.946 --> 0:22:35.986
<v Speaker 1>full believes I'm gonna say, Mike McDonald Seahawks, I've done

0:22:36.026 --> 0:22:38.626
<v Speaker 1>this spiel before. I think they've got a real different

0:22:38.666 --> 0:22:41.106
<v Speaker 1>spirit going. And Pete was great. Pete was an energy guy.

0:22:41.146 --> 0:22:42.666
<v Speaker 1>Pete was a vibes guy. Everyone love Pete. But this

0:22:42.746 --> 0:22:44.426
<v Speaker 1>is like a different deal. They bring it in a

0:22:44.466 --> 0:22:46.746
<v Speaker 1>younger guy thirty seven years old, He's got with him

0:22:46.746 --> 0:22:49.306
<v Speaker 1>an offensive coordinator from the college game and Grubs, and like,

0:22:49.586 --> 0:22:52.146
<v Speaker 1>what I love is that he comes in and he's

0:22:52.186 --> 0:22:54.466
<v Speaker 1>gonna solidify this defense in a way that he did

0:22:54.466 --> 0:22:56.306
<v Speaker 1>with the Ravens last year and he did with Michigan

0:22:56.346 --> 0:22:59.706
<v Speaker 1>two years ago. I'm already hearing great things from you know,

0:22:59.906 --> 0:23:04.506
<v Speaker 1>from camp on Kenneth Walker, but also Jackson Smith, Ninjigba,

0:23:04.746 --> 0:23:09.426
<v Speaker 1>and of course you have your usuals Lockett and Metcalf. Defensively,

0:23:09.466 --> 0:23:12.506
<v Speaker 1>they were pretty pretty down last year. That's why you

0:23:12.506 --> 0:23:14.626
<v Speaker 1>bring in a defensive coach, and that's why you give

0:23:14.666 --> 0:23:16.866
<v Speaker 1>a guy who's thirty seven years old the reins. I

0:23:16.866 --> 0:23:19.466
<v Speaker 1>think the Seattle Seahawks are my surprise team in the NFL,

0:23:19.786 --> 0:23:23.186
<v Speaker 1>and I've got Mike McDonald as my coach of the year.

0:23:23.226 --> 0:23:25.466
<v Speaker 1>I will say this though, for as good as I

0:23:25.546 --> 0:23:29.226
<v Speaker 1>have been aaron on Super Bowl picks, and I have

0:23:29.426 --> 0:23:32.986
<v Speaker 1>taken many a victory laugh. And my coach of the

0:23:33.066 --> 0:23:36.186
<v Speaker 1>year three years ago was Cliff Kingsbury, he got fired.

0:23:36.226 --> 0:23:39.226
<v Speaker 1>My coach of the year two years ago was Nathaniel Hackett,

0:23:39.226 --> 0:23:41.906
<v Speaker 1>he got fired. And last year I had Sean Payton

0:23:42.146 --> 0:23:44.306
<v Speaker 1>where his team fell apart down the stretch and they

0:23:44.306 --> 0:23:46.346
<v Speaker 1>missed the playoffs and it was a great disappointment, so

0:23:46.386 --> 0:23:48.786
<v Speaker 1>bad that you know, Russell Wilson's out of town. So

0:23:49.426 --> 0:23:51.626
<v Speaker 1>my Coach of the Year picks have not exactly been

0:23:51.666 --> 0:23:53.986
<v Speaker 1>spot on. So, Mike McDonald, as much as it might

0:23:54.066 --> 0:23:56.546
<v Speaker 1>feel good to see your name in a September Coach

0:23:56.546 --> 0:24:00.826
<v Speaker 1>of the Year pick, that means it means nothing. There's

0:24:00.866 --> 0:24:03.826
<v Speaker 1>a good chance that this actually backfires completely because I

0:24:03.826 --> 0:24:06.266
<v Speaker 1>have a horrible history and track record with finding that's

0:24:06.266 --> 0:24:08.746
<v Speaker 1>a prize team that's going to suddenly shock everybody.

0:24:08.866 --> 0:24:10.946
<v Speaker 2>Well, he is a first year coach, so maybe that

0:24:10.986 --> 0:24:13.466
<v Speaker 2>gives him a little bit of a cushion there to

0:24:13.946 --> 0:24:16.266
<v Speaker 2>protect him from any sort of you know, curse or

0:24:16.306 --> 0:24:20.666
<v Speaker 2>anything you might have going on. I also thought about

0:24:20.706 --> 0:24:23.626
<v Speaker 2>a first year coach and someone who we've talked about

0:24:23.626 --> 0:24:26.426
<v Speaker 2>a lot on the show, Rahiem Morris. Oh, but at

0:24:26.426 --> 0:24:28.866
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, I think I'm going to

0:24:28.946 --> 0:24:31.826
<v Speaker 2>go with Dimigo Ryans, who I think the.

0:24:31.866 --> 0:24:34.586
<v Speaker 1>Tech What better could they do than last year. Last

0:24:34.626 --> 0:24:35.866
<v Speaker 1>year was the year he would have won it, and

0:24:35.866 --> 0:24:37.266
<v Speaker 1>he didn't win it. Stefanski won it.

0:24:37.466 --> 0:24:41.306
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think that the Texans still have room

0:24:41.306 --> 0:24:44.466
<v Speaker 2>to grow on defense, which is a place that he

0:24:44.506 --> 0:24:48.066
<v Speaker 2>will really make himself known. And I think that they

0:24:49.026 --> 0:24:51.346
<v Speaker 2>they've got room to grow there. So I do really

0:24:51.426 --> 0:24:54.786
<v Speaker 2>think they can continue this ascent. They're not just like

0:24:54.866 --> 0:24:57.946
<v Speaker 2>a young, little upstart team. They've got these vets are

0:24:57.986 --> 0:25:01.786
<v Speaker 2>really there to perform well for them, and I think

0:25:01.786 --> 0:25:04.546
<v Speaker 2>this year we get a continuation. He keeps that momentum

0:25:04.626 --> 0:25:07.266
<v Speaker 2>going and he gets like he gets award that's also

0:25:07.306 --> 0:25:09.546
<v Speaker 2>a little bit for last year, but also you kept

0:25:09.626 --> 0:25:11.386
<v Speaker 2>going this year. Here's the catch with.

0:25:11.386 --> 0:25:14.186
<v Speaker 1>That, And anyone who picks like Dan Campbell or on

0:25:14.186 --> 0:25:18.186
<v Speaker 1>the floor like last year was the big bump. Anything

0:25:18.226 --> 0:25:20.186
<v Speaker 1>short of like the one seed and like a dominant

0:25:20.226 --> 0:25:22.146
<v Speaker 1>season for these guys, it's hard. Usually like giving Coach

0:25:22.186 --> 0:25:24.186
<v Speaker 1>of the Year to the guys who surprise and shock

0:25:24.746 --> 0:25:26.426
<v Speaker 1>or who come out of nowhere in the first year.

0:25:26.506 --> 0:25:29.586
<v Speaker 1>So I would say, yes, he might be the best coach,

0:25:29.706 --> 0:25:32.586
<v Speaker 1>but odds are against anything short of Houston going like

0:25:32.626 --> 0:25:35.546
<v Speaker 1>fifteen to two, them suddenly giving to Miko the award.

0:25:35.946 --> 0:25:38.506
<v Speaker 2>That might give a little indication of what my future

0:25:38.586 --> 0:25:39.866
<v Speaker 2>thoughts of Houston are too.

0:25:39.906 --> 0:25:42.546
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So all right, all right, so let's get into

0:25:42.586 --> 0:25:45.506
<v Speaker 1>it now. We get into the nitty gritty. Let's get

0:25:45.506 --> 0:25:50.186
<v Speaker 1>in to our playoff teams. I'll do my AFC, you

0:25:50.226 --> 0:25:54.866
<v Speaker 1>do your AFC. I'll do my NFC, you do your NFC.

0:25:55.266 --> 0:25:57.866
<v Speaker 1>How we're gonna do it is this. We're gonna give

0:25:57.906 --> 0:26:04.226
<v Speaker 1>our four division champions in order you see them, see them. Okay, okay.

0:26:04.666 --> 0:26:07.626
<v Speaker 1>So as you know playoffs, the four division champions are

0:26:07.666 --> 0:26:10.066
<v Speaker 1>always the top four seeds, no matter what the wild

0:26:10.186 --> 0:26:13.346
<v Speaker 1>card records are, and the first team has a buy

0:26:14.986 --> 0:26:18.986
<v Speaker 1>the next three host playoff games in the wild card round,

0:26:19.066 --> 0:26:23.186
<v Speaker 1>and then we go from there, no further ado. I

0:26:23.266 --> 0:26:25.266
<v Speaker 1>kind of did this spiel on Good Morning Football. I'm

0:26:25.306 --> 0:26:26.706
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it again. I want to talk to my

0:26:26.746 --> 0:26:30.386
<v Speaker 1>boy Danny Glazer in Tribeca, my boy Eric Ziff in Tribeca,

0:26:30.506 --> 0:26:33.546
<v Speaker 1>my guys the band Chicks, one in Tribeca, one out

0:26:33.546 --> 0:26:36.186
<v Speaker 1>there in Long Island. I'll talk to my to my

0:26:36.226 --> 0:26:39.386
<v Speaker 1>friends in Freehold, New Jersey, Matthew Nay and Joshua Levin

0:26:39.426 --> 0:26:41.586
<v Speaker 1>and all these guys. And I want to talk about

0:26:41.586 --> 0:26:43.706
<v Speaker 1>all people on the street that I see, everyone who

0:26:43.706 --> 0:26:46.746
<v Speaker 1>I've come across who is a die hard fan of

0:26:46.786 --> 0:26:48.306
<v Speaker 1>the New York Jets, and I want to tell them

0:26:48.586 --> 0:26:52.786
<v Speaker 1>to take a deep breath, exhale, take out that coheba,

0:26:53.066 --> 0:26:59.346
<v Speaker 1>you know, cigar, and enjoy a dream season. It's okay

0:26:59.346 --> 0:27:02.306
<v Speaker 1>to believe in the New York Jets. I've got the

0:27:02.346 --> 0:27:05.586
<v Speaker 1>New York Jets as the number one seed in the AFC,

0:27:06.466 --> 0:27:08.786
<v Speaker 1>and I have them having a buy in the first

0:27:08.866 --> 0:27:11.906
<v Speaker 1>round of the playoffs. It's a little bit on a ledge,

0:27:12.066 --> 0:27:13.666
<v Speaker 1>you know what. The more I thought about it, I

0:27:13.706 --> 0:27:16.866
<v Speaker 1>really like this team. I really like a lot of teams,

0:27:17.306 --> 0:27:21.386
<v Speaker 1>but this one. I felt like there's something special about

0:27:21.426 --> 0:27:24.146
<v Speaker 1>how quiet they've been and how many haters there have

0:27:24.266 --> 0:27:27.426
<v Speaker 1>been this summer, Like the amount of fake Rogers BS

0:27:27.466 --> 0:27:29.746
<v Speaker 1>stories that I've seen come out that it's been like discord,

0:27:29.866 --> 0:27:32.266
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't see it, I don't hear it, and

0:27:32.306 --> 0:27:34.746
<v Speaker 1>I'm there, like I actually go to the practice and

0:27:34.786 --> 0:27:37.146
<v Speaker 1>then I actually called the games and actually talked to

0:27:37.186 --> 0:27:40.266
<v Speaker 1>the coaches, like I would think that maybe I wouldn't

0:27:40.266 --> 0:27:42.986
<v Speaker 1>publicly say like, oh, Rogers's been a real tough cookie

0:27:42.986 --> 0:27:45.626
<v Speaker 1>this year, or Rogers and Sala aren't getting along, I

0:27:45.626 --> 0:27:48.626
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't maybe necessarily come and broadcast that. But I certainly

0:27:48.626 --> 0:27:50.506
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't put my name on the Jets if I felt

0:27:50.546 --> 0:27:53.386
<v Speaker 1>that was true. So I'm going to say the Jets

0:27:53.546 --> 0:27:57.146
<v Speaker 1>are my one seed in the AFC. My two seed

0:27:57.146 --> 0:27:59.786
<v Speaker 1>are the Kansas City Chiefs. Say no more. I think

0:27:59.826 --> 0:28:01.506
<v Speaker 1>they loaded up. I think they're going to be better

0:28:02.026 --> 0:28:03.746
<v Speaker 1>than they were a last regular season when they were

0:28:03.746 --> 0:28:05.826
<v Speaker 1>a five seed. Have to win two road playoff games

0:28:05.866 --> 0:28:09.986
<v Speaker 1>to get to this. Well, three's the Ravens, all right again.

0:28:10.146 --> 0:28:11.746
<v Speaker 1>Best team in the AFC North in my eyes. They

0:28:11.746 --> 0:28:13.866
<v Speaker 1>got Derek Henry. I think there were some big losses,

0:28:13.866 --> 0:28:17.186
<v Speaker 1>including McDonald and the three offensive linemen that were all veterans.

0:28:17.226 --> 0:28:21.186
<v Speaker 1>That they're losing. Number four is a shocker. Number four,

0:28:21.226 --> 0:28:24.226
<v Speaker 1>I've got the Jacksonville Jaguars winning the AFC South. I

0:28:24.306 --> 0:28:26.626
<v Speaker 1>don't have the Texans. I want to zag a little bit.

0:28:26.666 --> 0:28:28.706
<v Speaker 1>I like the Texans, but I feel like the Jaguars

0:28:28.706 --> 0:28:30.506
<v Speaker 1>had a really down year with a lot of bad

0:28:30.546 --> 0:28:32.706
<v Speaker 1>things happen to them. But like coming into the season,

0:28:33.386 --> 0:28:35.346
<v Speaker 1>the Jags were a hot team at one point and

0:28:35.346 --> 0:28:38.266
<v Speaker 1>then it all fell apart once Trevor Lawrence's ankle went

0:28:38.306 --> 0:28:42.146
<v Speaker 1>to put I've got the Jags as my four, my

0:28:42.386 --> 0:28:45.186
<v Speaker 1>three wild cards. And as I say this, remember here

0:28:45.186 --> 0:28:48.826
<v Speaker 1>are teams we have not mentioned. The Bengals, the Browns,

0:28:48.986 --> 0:28:52.426
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins, the Bills. We haven't mentioned the Texans. We

0:28:52.426 --> 0:28:55.266
<v Speaker 1>haven't mentioned the Broncos, haven't mentioned the Raiders, the Chargers,

0:28:55.626 --> 0:28:59.546
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers, we haven't mentioned the Patriots. Like there's here's

0:28:59.586 --> 0:29:02.826
<v Speaker 1>the beauty of this or the misery of this when

0:29:02.906 --> 0:29:05.506
<v Speaker 1>you do playoff predictions and not just ah, my super

0:29:05.546 --> 0:29:07.786
<v Speaker 1>Bowl pick this year is this. Oh, but I love

0:29:07.826 --> 0:29:09.626
<v Speaker 1>every team like you gotta put your name on it.

0:29:09.986 --> 0:29:12.226
<v Speaker 1>I said this on Chris Russo Show today, like every

0:29:12.266 --> 0:29:14.626
<v Speaker 1>show is like, here's my super Bowl pick. But for

0:29:14.666 --> 0:29:16.786
<v Speaker 1>the last three weeks they've been saying I really like

0:29:16.826 --> 0:29:17.466
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals.

0:29:17.506 --> 0:29:18.106
<v Speaker 2>I really like it.

0:29:18.106 --> 0:29:20.266
<v Speaker 1>I actually, I actually really think that this is the

0:29:20.386 --> 0:29:22.986
<v Speaker 1>year the Falcons are a sneaky pick. We gotta put

0:29:22.986 --> 0:29:24.986
<v Speaker 1>your name on it. And when you actually name the

0:29:24.986 --> 0:29:29.386
<v Speaker 1>playoff teams, eighteen teams don't go, only fourteen go. So

0:29:29.506 --> 0:29:33.826
<v Speaker 1>as I say this, here are my three Aaron the

0:29:33.906 --> 0:29:38.586
<v Speaker 1>five seed from the great state of New York, from

0:29:38.586 --> 0:29:41.106
<v Speaker 1>the wonderful city of Buffalo. I've got the Buffalo Bills.

0:29:41.106 --> 0:29:47.346
<v Speaker 1>It's the five seed at the sixth seed in Sean Payton.

0:29:47.426 --> 0:29:51.186
<v Speaker 1>I trust he's got a full year now with his guys,

0:29:51.426 --> 0:29:55.066
<v Speaker 1>and he's already completely transformed this roster with George Peyton

0:29:55.146 --> 0:29:58.346
<v Speaker 1>his colleague. I'm going way out on a limb. I've

0:29:58.346 --> 0:30:01.906
<v Speaker 1>got the Denver Broncos as a sixth seed, meaning I've

0:30:01.906 --> 0:30:04.626
<v Speaker 1>got them winning big games, and I've got them beating

0:30:04.666 --> 0:30:07.946
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs in some instances, in beating the Chargers and

0:30:07.946 --> 0:30:10.426
<v Speaker 1>beating the Raiders, and of course having to win big

0:30:10.466 --> 0:30:14.426
<v Speaker 1>games against opponents that are really good. And my seventh team,

0:30:14.826 --> 0:30:17.266
<v Speaker 1>with the Dolphins still on the board, and the Steelers

0:30:17.306 --> 0:30:19.906
<v Speaker 1>still on the board, and the Bengals still on the board,

0:30:19.986 --> 0:30:23.506
<v Speaker 1>and the Browns still on the board, and your Houston

0:30:23.546 --> 0:30:26.546
<v Speaker 1>Texans still on the board, I'm going with the Los

0:30:26.586 --> 0:30:31.866
<v Speaker 1>Angeles Chargers as my seventh team, and I have Texans

0:30:32.666 --> 0:30:35.346
<v Speaker 1>missing the playoffs. Sorry, I just is what it is.

0:30:35.506 --> 0:30:40.186
<v Speaker 1>Bengals missing the playoffs, Browns missing the playoffs, and maybe

0:30:40.226 --> 0:30:42.746
<v Speaker 1>the craziest of all, to the reaction that I got

0:30:42.746 --> 0:30:44.986
<v Speaker 1>when I first said this, I have the Dolphins missing

0:30:45.026 --> 0:30:47.906
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs after what was a summer's worth of just

0:30:47.906 --> 0:30:50.226
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl hype and paying Tua and paying Tyreek and

0:30:50.266 --> 0:30:52.826
<v Speaker 1>everyone going all in on the Dolphins. I don't know.

0:30:52.946 --> 0:30:54.466
<v Speaker 1>I don't like how it ended last year, and I

0:30:54.466 --> 0:30:57.146
<v Speaker 1>know they had injuries. I just I don't feel like

0:30:57.186 --> 0:30:59.866
<v Speaker 1>what they ended on last year, that Tua was like

0:30:59.906 --> 0:31:01.986
<v Speaker 1>this guy who's gonna suddenly go into the playoffs and

0:31:01.986 --> 0:31:03.266
<v Speaker 1>win a bunch of games. I win a bunch of

0:31:03.266 --> 0:31:04.866
<v Speaker 1>games late in the season. I still don't. I have

0:31:04.946 --> 0:31:07.186
<v Speaker 1>to see it to believe it. They lost that Week

0:31:07.226 --> 0:31:10.626
<v Speaker 1>eighteen game and then they lost in the playoffs in

0:31:10.746 --> 0:31:13.586
<v Speaker 1>what was just you know, blah fashion to the Chiefs.

0:31:13.626 --> 0:31:17.546
<v Speaker 1>So those are my seven in descending order again, will

0:31:17.546 --> 0:31:26.346
<v Speaker 1>do it? Jets? Your one, Chiefs, Ravens, Jaguars, five Bills,

0:31:27.106 --> 0:31:34.586
<v Speaker 1>six Broncos, seven Chargers. Aaron wan Kaufman, your thoughts.

0:31:33.706 --> 0:31:36.626
<v Speaker 2>Big on the AFC West. I mean, I think anytime

0:31:36.626 --> 0:31:38.626
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at this, it's going to be really easy

0:31:38.666 --> 0:31:43.546
<v Speaker 2>to want to throw three teams in from a single spot.

0:31:43.706 --> 0:31:47.626
<v Speaker 2>And you know it's tough. We haven't we haven't even

0:31:47.666 --> 0:31:52.586
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the Chargers yet. And and like their entire coaching change,

0:31:52.626 --> 0:31:55.826
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, their whole rebranding. I mean, that's that's an

0:31:55.826 --> 0:31:59.426
<v Speaker 2>exciting one. I think. You know, it's funny when I

0:31:59.466 --> 0:32:04.026
<v Speaker 2>look at your list versus my list, you are so

0:32:04.146 --> 0:32:07.626
<v Speaker 2>tuned in with coaches and with the the front office

0:32:07.626 --> 0:32:10.386
<v Speaker 2>and what you're hearing from them, Whereas to me, it's

0:32:10.386 --> 0:32:13.346
<v Speaker 2>like I consume you know, different kinds of media, and

0:32:13.386 --> 0:32:16.506
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, who, who who do the Chargers have

0:32:16.546 --> 0:32:18.466
<v Speaker 2>as a weapon anymore? Like, I don't know if I

0:32:18.506 --> 0:32:21.786
<v Speaker 2>can pick them to go that high and to take

0:32:21.826 --> 0:32:25.946
<v Speaker 2>out teams that have legitimately incredible weapons on offense. So

0:32:26.426 --> 0:32:28.426
<v Speaker 2>that's the one I think is almost the spiciest. I

0:32:28.426 --> 0:32:31.306
<v Speaker 2>do think the Denver take is spicy one too.

0:32:31.426 --> 0:32:33.666
<v Speaker 1>How about Okay, let's get to yours. I always value

0:32:33.706 --> 0:32:37.466
<v Speaker 1>your opinions as well. Let's hear all right. So I

0:32:37.626 --> 0:32:40.946
<v Speaker 1>have the one seed of Kansas City. I think this

0:32:40.986 --> 0:32:42.906
<v Speaker 1>is the kind of thing until proven otherwise, I'm not

0:32:42.946 --> 0:32:46.226
<v Speaker 1>gonna not ever going to doubt Kansas City at Mahomes

0:32:46.546 --> 0:32:49.066
<v Speaker 1>and Andy Reid and the two seed I have Houston.

0:32:49.186 --> 0:32:51.386
<v Speaker 2>I do really think that there's a lot of room

0:32:51.426 --> 0:32:55.466
<v Speaker 2>for them. And I you know, I saw what Diggs

0:32:55.506 --> 0:32:58.346
<v Speaker 2>did for Bills. Yeah, and if he can, if he

0:32:58.426 --> 0:33:02.666
<v Speaker 2>can elevate Stroud just a little bit, that's amazing. Nico

0:33:02.746 --> 0:33:05.226
<v Speaker 2>Collins is great, Tank Dell could be the best of

0:33:05.226 --> 0:33:08.586
<v Speaker 2>all three of them. Who knows the three seed I

0:33:08.586 --> 0:33:11.826
<v Speaker 2>have Baltimore similar to you, and for the four seed,

0:33:11.866 --> 0:33:15.066
<v Speaker 2>I have to stick with Buffalo, So I'm keeping.

0:33:14.866 --> 0:33:17.946
<v Speaker 1>The Bills Buffalo another as title.

0:33:19.706 --> 0:33:22.786
<v Speaker 2>Yep, and then wild card I have Jacksonville. At five,

0:33:23.106 --> 0:33:26.786
<v Speaker 2>we both have the Jacks. Also, I also think that

0:33:27.066 --> 0:33:32.186
<v Speaker 2>they had a really unlucky season last year. And look,

0:33:32.386 --> 0:33:34.946
<v Speaker 2>I think Trevor Lawrence has it and we just haven't

0:33:34.986 --> 0:33:37.946
<v Speaker 2>really seen it. He had a good second year, but

0:33:38.226 --> 0:33:41.146
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't had like the elevation from that, and I

0:33:41.146 --> 0:33:42.946
<v Speaker 2>think we could see that this year, and I'd be

0:33:42.986 --> 0:33:48.466
<v Speaker 2>really excited to see that a team that you didn't have.

0:33:49.506 --> 0:33:51.146
<v Speaker 2>For six, I have the Cleveland Brown.

0:33:51.226 --> 0:33:51.906
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good.

0:33:52.026 --> 0:33:55.306
<v Speaker 2>I still think that the talent on that team is

0:33:55.386 --> 0:34:01.786
<v Speaker 2>standing Judy. They they have obviously some questions, but I

0:34:01.786 --> 0:34:03.266
<v Speaker 2>think that they could make.

0:34:03.826 --> 0:34:06.706
<v Speaker 1>On paper there as good as anybody. And Watson should

0:34:06.706 --> 0:34:09.226
<v Speaker 1>be a significant upgrade from Joe Flacco, just objectively, And

0:34:09.306 --> 0:34:11.986
<v Speaker 1>yet I don't feel like that's necessarily the case. I

0:34:11.986 --> 0:34:13.466
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I got to see it, Yeah, they got

0:34:13.506 --> 0:34:13.906
<v Speaker 1>to see it.

0:34:14.386 --> 0:34:17.346
<v Speaker 2>And and and at seven, I have the Jets because

0:34:17.466 --> 0:34:19.706
<v Speaker 2>I do think you know, I mean, you don't. You

0:34:19.706 --> 0:34:23.066
<v Speaker 2>can't predict health or injury. But with this team, if

0:34:23.066 --> 0:34:28.026
<v Speaker 2>they're the conversation for everyone is if they're healthy. Another

0:34:28.066 --> 0:34:30.426
<v Speaker 2>team that just has an incredible amount of talent. That

0:34:30.506 --> 0:34:35.506
<v Speaker 2>defense has been consistent, which is very difficult. And god,

0:34:35.626 --> 0:34:39.746
<v Speaker 2>if you know, if Mike Williams could be a half

0:34:40.186 --> 0:34:43.386
<v Speaker 2>of what he used to be for Rogers and Rogers

0:34:43.426 --> 0:34:46.626
<v Speaker 2>can be eighty percent of what he knows MVP season

0:34:46.786 --> 0:34:48.266
<v Speaker 2>Like whoa right? And Breeze Hall?

0:34:49.026 --> 0:34:50.986
<v Speaker 1>You know, is the all these guys here's the thing?

0:34:51.106 --> 0:34:53.986
<v Speaker 1>Right the Jets? Yeah, all these guys did that last year.

0:34:54.026 --> 0:34:56.946
<v Speaker 1>They won I think seven games with no quarterback. They

0:34:56.946 --> 0:34:59.946
<v Speaker 1>had twenty different offensive linemen. Like it's real. Like, if

0:34:59.986 --> 0:35:01.706
<v Speaker 1>you just tell me that Rogers is out there, it

0:35:02.346 --> 0:35:04.386
<v Speaker 1>it's the great deodorant. Like I think they might win

0:35:04.386 --> 0:35:06.666
<v Speaker 1>Week one in San Francisco. That's how confident I am them.

0:35:06.706 --> 0:35:10.426
<v Speaker 1>I think they're really good. Here's what's interesting. Neither of us,

0:35:11.306 --> 0:35:12.946
<v Speaker 1>neither of us, if I'm not mistaken, tell me if

0:35:12.946 --> 0:35:14.786
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong. Neither of us took the Bengals to make

0:35:14.826 --> 0:35:20.306
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. Is it the Burrow injury stuff? Because he's

0:35:20.346 --> 0:35:21.506
<v Speaker 1>apparently healthy.

0:35:21.786 --> 0:35:24.946
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think there's got to be some concern

0:35:25.026 --> 0:35:29.146
<v Speaker 2>with a guy who has kind of had to remake

0:35:29.226 --> 0:35:33.146
<v Speaker 2>his throwing motion a little bit multiple times so early

0:35:33.186 --> 0:35:38.506
<v Speaker 2>in his career. This might just be purely off vibes,

0:35:38.786 --> 0:35:42.146
<v Speaker 2>but I don't like I love seeing the bleach blonde hair.

0:35:42.466 --> 0:35:45.586
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that instills confidence in me, like

0:35:45.706 --> 0:35:47.946
<v Speaker 2>this guy's ready to go out and get it. I

0:35:47.986 --> 0:35:50.306
<v Speaker 2>love the look, but I don't know if that's making

0:35:50.346 --> 0:35:55.586
<v Speaker 2>me think like, oh, they're hungry for it. So yeah,

0:35:55.666 --> 0:35:58.746
<v Speaker 2>that's I don't have them because of that. I think

0:35:59.186 --> 0:36:00.466
<v Speaker 2>I am concerned with Burrow.

0:36:00.586 --> 0:36:02.906
<v Speaker 1>All right. So you have the Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence

0:36:02.986 --> 0:36:05.586
<v Speaker 1>is the playoff team, but you also don't have the Dolphins,

0:36:05.626 --> 0:36:07.386
<v Speaker 1>do you?

0:36:07.386 --> 0:36:07.466
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:36:07.826 --> 0:36:08.146
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:36:08.226 --> 0:36:11.706
<v Speaker 2>I I Hey, I'm a huge to a fan. I

0:36:11.706 --> 0:36:15.626
<v Speaker 2>would love him to above all else stay safe and

0:36:16.026 --> 0:36:19.906
<v Speaker 2>keep you know, proving people wrong that he's that he

0:36:20.066 --> 0:36:23.026
<v Speaker 2>is a really top tier quarterback at some point. I

0:36:23.186 --> 0:36:26.866
<v Speaker 2>just have They are so exciting in the beginning and

0:36:26.906 --> 0:36:29.386
<v Speaker 2>they just never last. And I don't know if that's

0:36:29.426 --> 0:36:30.026
<v Speaker 2>going to change.

0:36:30.466 --> 0:36:44.466
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, okay, NFC, shall we let's do it. The

0:36:44.506 --> 0:36:47.666
<v Speaker 1>one seed in the NFC are the Detroit Lions. Steamroll

0:36:47.706 --> 0:36:50.306
<v Speaker 1>through this regular season harder schedule than last year with

0:36:50.346 --> 0:36:52.186
<v Speaker 1>the first place schedule. I just think they're really good.

0:36:52.306 --> 0:36:55.226
<v Speaker 1>All the hype, like they lived up to it last year,

0:36:55.226 --> 0:36:57.306
<v Speaker 1>and I think they're better this year, and they're healthier

0:36:57.306 --> 0:36:58.626
<v Speaker 1>than they were at the end of last season when

0:36:58.626 --> 0:37:01.426
<v Speaker 1>they were playing great football. There's a very good arguments

0:37:01.466 --> 0:37:03.986
<v Speaker 1>we made that they should have won that NFC Championship

0:37:03.986 --> 0:37:06.826
<v Speaker 1>game up what they were in San Francisco, and they

0:37:06.946 --> 0:37:09.346
<v Speaker 1>just could not close. What happens with the young teams

0:37:09.346 --> 0:37:11.266
<v Speaker 1>as you get older and you learn to close and

0:37:11.306 --> 0:37:13.146
<v Speaker 1>you get over the hump. I think they're gonna learn

0:37:13.186 --> 0:37:14.586
<v Speaker 1>to close out a lot of these games, some that

0:37:14.626 --> 0:37:17.146
<v Speaker 1>they lost at the end of last year. That's your

0:37:17.266 --> 0:37:19.746
<v Speaker 1>one seed. Two seed. I have a shocker. I got

0:37:19.786 --> 0:37:22.346
<v Speaker 1>the Rams over the Niners. The vibes of the Niners

0:37:22.506 --> 0:37:24.546
<v Speaker 1>just off right now. I think from Afar, like, what

0:37:24.586 --> 0:37:26.386
<v Speaker 1>do I know. Maybe they come out and they're fifteen

0:37:26.426 --> 0:37:28.146
<v Speaker 1>to two and it's like, everyone shut up, We're the

0:37:28.146 --> 0:37:30.226
<v Speaker 1>best team in the conference on paper. Of course, the

0:37:30.306 --> 0:37:32.546
<v Speaker 1>Niners and they went to Super Bowl last year. Maybe

0:37:32.626 --> 0:37:34.986
<v Speaker 1>I'm zigging what everyone else's zagging. I'm going Rams to

0:37:35.066 --> 0:37:36.786
<v Speaker 1>two seed. I was at practice. It might be a

0:37:36.786 --> 0:37:39.586
<v Speaker 1>recency bias. I'm in La I see a lot of

0:37:39.586 --> 0:37:41.426
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. I just feel like the vibes are right

0:37:41.466 --> 0:37:43.706
<v Speaker 1>with the Rams under the radar. No one's talking about them.

0:37:43.746 --> 0:37:46.506
<v Speaker 1>I think they are a surprise two seed, three seed

0:37:46.586 --> 0:37:51.066
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta pains me because I really like Tampa Bay and

0:37:51.106 --> 0:37:52.986
<v Speaker 1>they brought everyone back and they're like, we could do

0:37:53.026 --> 0:37:55.466
<v Speaker 1>it again. I've got Atlanta. They just added so much,

0:37:55.826 --> 0:37:58.266
<v Speaker 1>whether it be Kirk Cousins or Justin Simmons or just

0:37:58.306 --> 0:38:00.826
<v Speaker 1>the head coach and the offensive coordinator a being different.

0:38:01.186 --> 0:38:03.346
<v Speaker 1>I will say this and I'll break the fourth wall

0:38:03.866 --> 0:38:06.626
<v Speaker 1>within seconds. I picked Atlanta on Good Morning Football. Got

0:38:06.626 --> 0:38:09.106
<v Speaker 1>a text from a very high ranking Buccaneers official with

0:38:09.266 --> 0:38:12.786
<v Speaker 1>just a visual of a receipt, so people listen, people

0:38:12.946 --> 0:38:14.506
<v Speaker 1>watch it. I just like groveling, like.

0:38:14.826 --> 0:38:15.706
<v Speaker 2>I really like your team.

0:38:15.786 --> 0:38:17.226
<v Speaker 1>I just thinking, you know, in week seven, if you

0:38:17.266 --> 0:38:18.626
<v Speaker 1>look and it's like that was it. There was no

0:38:18.746 --> 0:38:20.746
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. I was like sixteen texts in a row.

0:38:20.786 --> 0:38:24.066
<v Speaker 1>It's like when a you know, I never had this happen,

0:38:24.106 --> 0:38:25.826
<v Speaker 1>but if a girl was to catch you cheating, and

0:38:25.866 --> 0:38:27.706
<v Speaker 1>then like on text, you're just like texting back and

0:38:27.786 --> 0:38:29.986
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and there's just no response,

0:38:30.146 --> 0:38:33.226
<v Speaker 1>like that's what this was. But I am not swayed.

0:38:33.706 --> 0:38:36.626
<v Speaker 1>I will stick with the Falcons the fourth seed. I

0:38:36.626 --> 0:38:40.306
<v Speaker 1>went Eagles in the East, though also not feeling one

0:38:40.386 --> 0:38:43.346
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent about that team after what was a weird offseason.

0:38:44.186 --> 0:38:46.986
<v Speaker 1>You know, on paper, you're like, all right, they added Saquon,

0:38:47.026 --> 0:38:49.066
<v Speaker 1>they added Quiney on Mitchell, they added Cooper dejene like,

0:38:49.066 --> 0:38:51.306
<v Speaker 1>they added all these great players, and then you know,

0:38:51.346 --> 0:38:53.746
<v Speaker 1>everything you hear is like there might have been disconnects

0:38:53.786 --> 0:38:56.346
<v Speaker 1>between the coaching the quarterback and then you've got two

0:38:56.346 --> 0:38:59.066
<v Speaker 1>new coordinators. That does that always work out? Still got

0:38:59.066 --> 0:39:02.746
<v Speaker 1>them winning the East over the Cowboys, which leads to

0:39:02.786 --> 0:39:07.626
<v Speaker 1>our wild card teams. The number five seed in the NFC,

0:39:08.866 --> 0:39:10.826
<v Speaker 1>I am going with the San Francisco forty nine ers.

0:39:10.826 --> 0:39:12.746
<v Speaker 1>They might not win the division, but there ain't missing

0:39:12.786 --> 0:39:14.826
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. It's not going to be a total collapse,

0:39:14.906 --> 0:39:17.106
<v Speaker 1>you know. If anything, I think it might just take

0:39:17.146 --> 0:39:19.026
<v Speaker 1>them a couple of weeks out of the gates. It

0:39:19.066 --> 0:39:23.226
<v Speaker 1>was a really, really weird offseason with the Ayuk situation

0:39:23.306 --> 0:39:26.426
<v Speaker 1>and the Trent Williams situation. Look, I don't want to

0:39:26.426 --> 0:39:28.706
<v Speaker 1>make this very serious, but like what happened with Ricky

0:39:28.706 --> 0:39:33.306
<v Speaker 1>Piersoll is a crazy, crazy situation and that like that,

0:39:33.466 --> 0:39:35.466
<v Speaker 1>that's something that has to be addressed to the team.

0:39:35.546 --> 0:39:37.386
<v Speaker 1>And he was also their first round pick and now

0:39:38.146 --> 0:39:41.306
<v Speaker 1>he's dealing with that. So look, they could go like

0:39:41.306 --> 0:39:43.106
<v Speaker 1>I said, sixteen and one, fifteen to two, and I'll

0:39:43.146 --> 0:39:45.186
<v Speaker 1>just say I was wrong. I'm not. They're not missing

0:39:45.186 --> 0:39:47.066
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. They're in the mix. They're going to be

0:39:47.066 --> 0:39:49.226
<v Speaker 1>in the mix in January. I just got the Rams

0:39:49.466 --> 0:39:52.266
<v Speaker 1>having the division this year, the sixth seed. I'm going

0:39:52.266 --> 0:39:54.026
<v Speaker 1>with my coach of the year and the Seahawks. I

0:39:54.026 --> 0:39:56.346
<v Speaker 1>already did the pitch about why I'm excited about them

0:39:56.346 --> 0:39:59.426
<v Speaker 1>and the seven I like lost sleep last night over

0:39:59.586 --> 0:40:01.906
<v Speaker 1>three different teams here, the Buccaneers, who I don't have

0:40:02.026 --> 0:40:05.266
<v Speaker 1>making it. And then it was like, all right, if

0:40:05.266 --> 0:40:08.146
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting the Seahawks in and I got the Eagles

0:40:08.146 --> 0:40:11.386
<v Speaker 1>winning that division, I got the Lions winning that division,

0:40:11.466 --> 0:40:14.186
<v Speaker 1>there's an odd team out here. So it was Packers

0:40:14.266 --> 0:40:17.706
<v Speaker 1>or Cowboys. Packers are Cowboys, and I went with the

0:40:17.746 --> 0:40:20.826
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Packers as the seventh seed over the Cowboys.

0:40:20.906 --> 0:40:25.586
<v Speaker 1>So the Cowboys out of the playoffs entirely in my eyes.

0:40:25.626 --> 0:40:28.626
<v Speaker 1>The Buccaneers miss it as well, but Dallas missing the

0:40:28.666 --> 0:40:31.586
<v Speaker 1>playoffs after having one of the best regular seasons scoring

0:40:31.626 --> 0:40:34.546
<v Speaker 1>wise last year, And I don't know, I just there's

0:40:34.586 --> 0:40:36.826
<v Speaker 1>too many questions in the vibes and the vibes, guy,

0:40:37.026 --> 0:40:38.826
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the vibes feel like Super Bowl

0:40:38.906 --> 0:40:41.866
<v Speaker 1>right now. Maybe I'm wrong. I always couldn't be wrong,

0:40:42.186 --> 0:40:45.146
<v Speaker 1>but I am not taking the Cowboys as a playoff team.

0:40:45.306 --> 0:40:48.866
<v Speaker 1>And guess what, I stood up there a national television

0:40:48.946 --> 0:40:50.986
<v Speaker 1>sident and I'm taking a beating online and it's not

0:40:51.066 --> 0:40:53.306
<v Speaker 1>great when you're on television and ratings matter, and we

0:40:53.426 --> 0:40:56.346
<v Speaker 1>choose not to pick the Cowboys. But I just feel

0:40:56.386 --> 0:40:57.706
<v Speaker 1>like there's a lot of good teams in the NFC,

0:40:57.746 --> 0:40:59.826
<v Speaker 1>and I don't have them winning the division and I

0:40:59.826 --> 0:41:01.226
<v Speaker 1>don't have them having a good enough record to be

0:41:01.226 --> 0:41:03.426
<v Speaker 1>a wildcard. Aaron, your thoughts.

0:41:03.666 --> 0:41:07.906
<v Speaker 2>The Cowboys omission is a shock, But really the thing

0:41:07.946 --> 0:41:12.386
<v Speaker 2>that made me visibly like my jaw dropped when you

0:41:12.466 --> 0:41:17.306
<v Speaker 2>had Atlanta had three really really division.

0:41:17.426 --> 0:41:19.986
<v Speaker 1>I think that division is winnable, like the Saints and

0:41:20.026 --> 0:41:22.186
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers. I don't know, like that's a quick you

0:41:22.226 --> 0:41:22.706
<v Speaker 1>know whatever.

0:41:23.146 --> 0:41:28.626
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, I think that it's just it's it's

0:41:29.106 --> 0:41:32.946
<v Speaker 2>funny to think of that team that is in a division,

0:41:33.026 --> 0:41:36.466
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, that's so winnable, and yet last year

0:41:36.466 --> 0:41:39.666
<v Speaker 2>Tampa Bay beat them out for it. And yeah, I

0:41:39.666 --> 0:41:43.906
<v Speaker 2>mean picking them at three is is you are more

0:41:43.906 --> 0:41:44.466
<v Speaker 2>brave than I.

0:41:47.226 --> 0:41:50.586
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get your picks and then let's dissect

0:41:50.626 --> 0:41:53.186
<v Speaker 1>them with a fine tooth comb and then we'll wrap

0:41:53.226 --> 0:41:56.106
<v Speaker 1>this sucker up. All right, Aaron, your seven playoff picks,

0:41:56.146 --> 0:41:58.666
<v Speaker 1>including your one seed that gets a bye in the

0:41:58.706 --> 0:42:00.626
<v Speaker 1>first round. Mine was the Lions. What about you?

0:42:01.226 --> 0:42:04.666
<v Speaker 2>My number one is the Lions. I really yeah. I

0:42:04.706 --> 0:42:06.386
<v Speaker 2>think you pointed it out. There are a lot of

0:42:06.706 --> 0:42:09.986
<v Speaker 2>great teams here in the NFC, and the Lions seem

0:42:10.066 --> 0:42:13.226
<v Speaker 2>to be the only one that has both an incredible

0:42:13.746 --> 0:42:18.346
<v Speaker 2>wealth of talent as well as positive vibes like there's

0:42:18.706 --> 0:42:21.626
<v Speaker 2>there's just good things going on right now with Detroit,

0:42:23.026 --> 0:42:25.226
<v Speaker 2>and so I have them as an easy number one.

0:42:26.106 --> 0:42:33.306
<v Speaker 2>At number two, despite the contract issues, despite the Super

0:42:33.306 --> 0:42:36.066
<v Speaker 2>Bowl hangover, I have the forty nine ers. I think

0:42:36.226 --> 0:42:39.346
<v Speaker 2>they could get off to a slow start. You know,

0:42:39.386 --> 0:42:43.146
<v Speaker 2>we got CMC was injured earlier and UK wasn't practicing.

0:42:43.186 --> 0:42:46.306
<v Speaker 2>You know what doesn't matter. They just restructure debo They're

0:42:46.426 --> 0:42:47.306
<v Speaker 2>They're a great team.

0:42:47.386 --> 0:42:49.946
<v Speaker 1>They're the Niners. They're the team of the generation in

0:42:49.946 --> 0:42:51.346
<v Speaker 1>this conference, no doubt.

0:42:51.586 --> 0:42:55.026
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I mean number three, I have the Eagles.

0:42:55.106 --> 0:42:58.666
<v Speaker 2>I think that another team that just has an incredible

0:42:58.706 --> 0:43:02.866
<v Speaker 2>wealth of talent and let's get into the season. Anything

0:43:02.866 --> 0:43:06.266
<v Speaker 2>that may have been, you know, Jason Kelsey coming out

0:43:06.266 --> 0:43:08.266
<v Speaker 2>and saying it just wasn't a good hang in the

0:43:08.306 --> 0:43:11.426
<v Speaker 2>locker room, like we'll see, let's let's get on the

0:43:11.466 --> 0:43:16.066
<v Speaker 2>field and everyone remember what you're doing here. I think

0:43:16.106 --> 0:43:19.066
<v Speaker 2>that they're gonna be okay, okay. And at four, I

0:43:19.106 --> 0:43:25.506
<v Speaker 2>have Atlanta, so I do South. Yeah, wild card is

0:43:25.826 --> 0:43:28.386
<v Speaker 2>a little mixed up from yours. I have green Bay

0:43:28.466 --> 0:43:32.346
<v Speaker 2>first or as the fifth seed. I'm really excited for

0:43:32.386 --> 0:43:36.626
<v Speaker 2>green Bay and I think that they they uh, I

0:43:36.666 --> 0:43:39.306
<v Speaker 2>don't know. In some yeah, in some ways, green Bay's

0:43:39.386 --> 0:43:41.466
<v Speaker 2>like the NFC version of the Texans, where we have

0:43:41.546 --> 0:43:45.306
<v Speaker 2>this quarterback who really showed out last year with young receivers,

0:43:45.826 --> 0:43:48.706
<v Speaker 2>has an up and coming defense. So I'm excited about

0:43:48.706 --> 0:43:51.866
<v Speaker 2>green Bay. At number six, I have the Rams, another

0:43:51.906 --> 0:43:57.226
<v Speaker 2>team that you know, they they sort of in some

0:43:57.266 --> 0:44:00.186
<v Speaker 2>ways mimic the Jets for me, and that you've got

0:44:00.626 --> 0:44:03.906
<v Speaker 2>some fragility to it, but when it's working and firing

0:44:03.946 --> 0:44:08.866
<v Speaker 2>on all cylinders, the pieces of that are incredible. And

0:44:10.066 --> 0:44:12.146
<v Speaker 2>Cooper cup did had a bit of a down year.

0:44:12.066 --> 0:44:13.266
<v Speaker 1>Last He's gonna be back this year.

0:44:13.346 --> 0:44:17.226
<v Speaker 2>He's amazing. He's an amazing player. He's going to be

0:44:17.306 --> 0:44:20.906
<v Speaker 2>so good again. And then at number seven, I have Dallas,

0:44:20.946 --> 0:44:23.426
<v Speaker 2>all right, I yeah, so I picked I mean, I

0:44:23.426 --> 0:44:26.466
<v Speaker 2>picked Lamb and I picked Parsons for you know, offensive

0:44:26.466 --> 0:44:28.346
<v Speaker 2>and defensive players of the Year, because I do think

0:44:28.346 --> 0:44:31.506
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do well. I don't think they're necessarily

0:44:31.546 --> 0:44:33.186
<v Speaker 2>going to have any success in the playoffs, but I

0:44:33.186 --> 0:44:34.386
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to get there.

0:44:34.226 --> 0:44:36.906
<v Speaker 1>All right. So we have very similar similar as teams

0:44:36.906 --> 0:44:40.226
<v Speaker 1>in the NFC. Neither of us have the Buccaneers. Neither

0:44:40.266 --> 0:44:41.986
<v Speaker 1>of us went with the Bears, which is a hot

0:44:42.026 --> 0:44:46.786
<v Speaker 1>pick right now, and neither of us went way off

0:44:46.786 --> 0:44:49.586
<v Speaker 1>the board with something crazy as like the Vikings or

0:44:49.626 --> 0:44:52.106
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals or anything like that. Our only difference was

0:44:52.386 --> 0:44:56.026
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys for you, Seahawks for me. The seedings are different.

0:44:56.346 --> 0:44:59.186
<v Speaker 1>So now I need you to work for the next

0:44:59.226 --> 0:45:02.426
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours and preparing your Super Bowl pick. So

0:45:02.946 --> 0:45:05.786
<v Speaker 1>take some time figure out your sup rollo pick. I'm

0:45:05.786 --> 0:45:08.586

0:45:56.106 --> 0:45:56.746
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to that.

0:46:03.986 --> 0:46:04.706
<v Speaker 2>Bo Williams.

0:46:07.786 --> 0:46:11.706
<v Speaker 1>Bo Williams went in the fourteenth round of some draft

0:46:11.906 --> 0:46:14.706
<v Speaker 1>in like you know whatever. I don't even want to

0:46:15.026 --> 0:46:17.146
