11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,360

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: nine to ten player, I'll be pretty happy, but if

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 2: they don't, it's going to be miserable. And the one

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: that really worries me is the fourteenth spot, that early

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: second yeah, because those guys definitely aren't going to be there,

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,120

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: but I never did it. But I was fiddling with

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: it last night and I sinked our league and I

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: sink this league. Yeah, it's a pretty cool situation. I

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:11,840

00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,399

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: between the two leagues. If I know a mock, I'm.

29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: Like, all right, cool, Yeah, uh so Cupid shuffle picking

00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: that's good took Sakwan Barkley at seven.

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Good because he's not one of my top eleven. At eight,

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: it's noting like that could definitely happen. Yeah and me,

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: especially if they're on those running backs.

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: Jamiir I Go Again at eight took Monro Saint Brown

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: knew he wasn't a fall Captain Jamerica back to back.

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: Jamiir Gibbs References took Justin Jefferson at nine and for

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: Kyron out Loud at ten, took Garrett Wilson.

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so that leaves me A J. Brown.

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: A J. Brown is there, Jonathan Taylor is there?

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking Brown. Okay, easily enough there. That was

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: one of the ones. That's the NOE planner.

48
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: Dude, where's your Jamar is the twelfth spot?

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: All right? Okay, that's my nemesis.

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: He took Marvin Harrison and Pukinakua. Good So Jamiir Gibbs

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 3: still there, Jonathan Taylor there, DeVante Adams.

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: I think Gibbs over Taylor. Gibbs is like my consolation

53
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: prize at eleven. Okay, that's what I've decided. And then

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: if I get to that point, I'm a little you know,

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: it's a PPR Twoh, Gibbs catch the ball time, all right?

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Gibbs is a picture. So that worked out. I would

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: take that right now. I mean if I would definitely

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: take that.

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: Now you get along. Wait though, that's the tough part

60
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: of it, right, So the pics are right ahead of you, Jaylem, Wattell,

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, Rashad.

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: White, quick question. I don't make you crazy, but I

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: think there's a twenty percent chance my man a Chan

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: gets back in the third round. Yeah, that's not gonna

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: happened yet. I'm say I think there's a long shot

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: it happens. But that's a no brainer for me.

67
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah he went to eleven.

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So now I don't have any rules or guidelines,

69
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: but I don't hate it from this point on, and

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: I felt like I got lucky in the first two rounds.

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks available Lamar Jackson, Anthony Richardson, CJ. Shroud, Kyler Murray

72
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: probably will wait. Running backs. Top running backs available Joe Mixon,

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker, James Connor, Aaron.

74
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: Jones, Jones and Walker of Interest.

75
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: Wide receivers Cooper Cup, Nico Collins, Mike Evans, Deebo, Samuel.

76
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: Niko would probably be my choice of those top.

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: Tight ends available, Sam Laporta, Trey McBride, Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid.

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: What would you do? Mm, I don't There's no one

79
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: like just jumping off the board to me. Now, I

80
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: can live with a hero running back build if I

81
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: don't take it back in one of these two picks.

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a bad one. I mean, you

83
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean? If I'm gonna do that. I

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: might as well take la porter or quarterback or I

85
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: don't know. I kind of lean towards Cooper Cup at

86
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: that spot. Okay, I like Nico better, but I think

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: a receiver is this is the pig one. Yeah, Cups fine.

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even necessarily care what player. I'm

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: thinking more of the build that didn't twelve go running back,

90
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: running back. You want receiver, receiver, and they just but yeah,

91
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: he's probably gona go running backrunning. Yeah, that's fine. Though

92
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: there's there was two. I was fine with Cups fine,

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: or Nico. Take Nico calls, I have him higher. We'll

94
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 2: take Nico.

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: Collins, Sam Laporta, and Mike Evans went with the next

96
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: two picks.

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: I was not gonna go tight end.

98
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: So you want one of those running.

99
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: Backs, pick between Jones and Walker. I'd take Walker. I

100
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: think he's quite happy with that early fourth. Yeah, yeah,

101
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: good young player. Now we wait and.

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: A defensive minded head coach. They're probably gonna run the

103
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: ball more than people.

104
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: All the blurbs out of there have not made it

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: even sound like it's close to it. Running back off.

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: Well, and here's the next thing. So Aaron Jones is

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: still there at five to eleven for you.

108
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: He would be our flex in this league. It's hard

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: to pass up. I'm sure there's receivers.

110
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: You're looking at Rashie Rice, A Flowers, Terry McLaurin, T Higgins,

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: Tank Dell, Deontay Johnson.

112
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: Rice is my favorite, but I think Jones is a

113
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: better pick.

114
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: The tight end you're looking at, Evan Ingram, Kyle Pitts,

115
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: George Kettle, Jake Ferguson. That's starting to dry up a little.

116
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, number twelve took a tight end, though. We can

117
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: cross that bridge in a minute.

118
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: Kin Cabe went just ahead of your spot.

119
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: Quarterback.

120
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: You're looking at Anthony Richardson, Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott, Jordan Love.

121
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: They could go Aaron Jones. Okay, Aaron Jones, it is

122
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: I'll probably take another receiver high, but that's a backup. Now.

123
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: He took Swift and Anthony Richardson.

124
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna. I was strongly considering Richardson. I

125
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: like him Love too, I too. I think we could

126
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: wait these twenty four picks.

127
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: Wide receiver you're looking at, Yeah, yeah, okay, she Rice

128
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: as your pick.

129
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: So now I actually have a bench spot filled. Yeah,

130
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: which I don't.

131
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: You still don't have a quarterback in the tight end,

132
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: right right, all right, you're back up again. I'm sure

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: Pitts is gone, and Love went to the top quarterbacks available,

134
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels to a tagle Vila calla Williams, you'r GoF.

135
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: He probably won't take one, but I think Daniels is

136
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: the pick. Who's the best tight.

137
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: End he has Evan Ingram, Jake Ferguson, David and Joku

138
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: brock Bowers.

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: I think we got to do it this year this round,

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: like Ingram Daniels, and that's not really good value for either.

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: But I don't want to wait anymore.

142
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 3: Which one you want to go first?

143
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: Ingram? Okay, I can't imagine I'll take two quarterbacks. I

144
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: might prefer Jake Ferguson, and I was thinking about that too.

145
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 2: Which one's going to score more touchdowns? Probably Ferguson. Probably

146
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Ingram had so many targets last year. I get it,

147
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: but saw it would not have minded him at all.

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: So you're taking Daniels with the next pick? Then?

149
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: All right, Jaden and Daniels it is in eighth round.

150
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 2: That area didn't go well for me, I probably should

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: have passed on Racehie Rice. All right, back up again.

152
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: Top receivers available Brian Thomas, lab Maconkee, Marquise Brown, Jordan Edison.

153
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: Probably not a bad idea that you did take her.

154
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: She raise, He was the best value.

155
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: He was shocked. He lasted that long. I'm a big

156
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas believer in this neighborhood, but I don't know

157
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: if I need a backup backup receiver.

158
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: Running backs Ezekiel, Elliott, Nick Chubb, Chewba Hubbard's Zach Charbonney

159
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: Walk Since you took Walker, do you take That's an

160
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: easy one, right, Yeah, yeah, that would be my move.

161
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now you've got Seattle's backfield like a one week

162
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: a year. I'm not starting a Seattle back Yeah. Cool.

163
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: Take it back up again here.

164
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: Top suggested player Lemon Conkey, Zeke Elliott, Jake Ferguson.

165
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: Ferguson, still there, Jake Ferguson, still there. I think I'm

166
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: fine with that, okay, and maybe it just will become

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: clear in week three or four you will start, you know. Yeah,

168
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: Now they're not using Ingram like last year. Oh well,

169
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm all right, all.

170
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: Right, eleventh round, you're up top top players, suggested Romeo Dobbs,

171
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 3: Rashid Chihi, Hy Chandler, you have Aaron Jones, Caleb boy.

172
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: I didn't think of that part, and I don't even

173
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: care that much about handcuffing, but it's I would it

174
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: might have taken them anyway.

175
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: Both of those guys have standalone value, right, like not

176
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: to the level of Jaylen Warren.

177
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: No, no, but similarly similarly like when you said Charbona,

178
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm glad he's still there and I

179
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: walk her and even just now with with Chandler, it's like,

180
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: I think I'd take him there no matter what. And

181
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: did I have Jones? Yeah, sign me up.

182
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like him better than any of the other

183
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: potential guys.

184
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: That are still in that neighborhood. I take him a lot.

185
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: Now, we'll say Marshawn Lloyd Ray Davis, Khalil Herbert also

186
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: still available at running back.

187
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: Does that change your thinking any Not? Really, Chandlers at

188
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: their level were better for me. Okay, Andy's my guy,

189
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 2: you know, all right? Ty Chandler, it is so you're

190
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: locked in. You've got Seattle in Minnesota cornered, which could

191
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: be good.

192
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't look at the bi weeks. Maybe they're

193
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 3: off the same way I usually don't. All right, now

194
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: you're up at twelve two. Caleb Williams, Rashichi he, Brandon Cooks,

195
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: Ray Davis the top suggested players.

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: The backup quarterback might be, Oh, I have Jayden Davis.

197
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,239
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams to Attago Vila, Trevor Lawrence, Jearret Goff.

198
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: Lawrence Okay Bingo. Yeah, I'm a Lawrence believer this year.

199
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: I think he's got good weapons. I think he'll run.

200
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: I think he's had some bad luck. Ray Davis was

201
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: the next picky. He definitely was in consideration.

202
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so you're done at quarterback and tight end.

203
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: Running backs Khalil Herbert, Bucky Irving, Braylan Allen, Rashawn Johnson.

204
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: Those are the top guys available. Why do Herbert get

205
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: traded to Dallas? Yeah? This is what people you know,

206
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: that's the thing people were holding out on.

207
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: Rashid Shah, Jalen Polk to, Mario Douglas, Michael Wilson. The

208
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: top receivers available one Dell Robinson there, Rashaw Bateman, she.

209
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: Heed's a sort of attract Xavier Legate and it's got

210
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: to be one of those beat receivers. Any names jumping

211
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: out at you.

212
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: Not really, Alexander Madison, Kendeh Camani, Vadal, Damian Pierce, you almost.

213
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: Maybe Shaheed at least he's number two. You could just

214
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: take best defense.

215
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,359
Speaker 3: Well, the defense is available, the Steelers, Chiefs, Bills, Texans.

216
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: I went to Steelers. D Okay, I think they're gonna

217
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: get a lot of access here.

218
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: Ye all right, Now you back up again here and

219
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: she heat is still there them all right, she heat

220
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: it is.

221
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: This is not that it matters that much, but this

222
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: league is weird to get bonus prize for longer touchdown. Okay,

223
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: well that makes sense, and you know, yeah, all right,

224
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: but then that you take the more explosive guy.

225
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: Fifteenth round, you still got you got one pick left

226
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: after this one.

227
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: You have best running back available. That's just best available.

228
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: Like I mean, if like Jared Goff is still there,

229
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take.

230
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: Him, Wan Dale Robinson, Rashaw Bateman, Alexander Madison, Tank Bigsby.

231
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 2: Things. We had a good preseason.

232
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford is there, Deshaun Watson, Gino Smith, Baker Mayfield.

233
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna end up cutting this person.

234
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, unless it's a high

235
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: upside young guy that you think.

236
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna be Bigsby with the hopes that at

237
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: M gets hurt in.

238
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: The first I'm not even seeing that guy available here, Like, well,

239
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: some a GP Ryan is there?

240
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Hm, we think he's the two, right, Yeah, he doesn't

241
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 2: have to be good, and he might. He's gonna be

242
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: the pass catching back in Kansas City, Sign me up?

243
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: Why not the way Pacheco runs? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

244
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: not bad. I don't know if he'd ever be at

245
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: the same workload if the checko were out, but.

246
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: If he gets but it would go all the fifteen

247
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: touches in that offense line.

248
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, all right, now you're up.

249
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: You got to take a kicker, and so the top

250
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: guy available Brandon Aubrey. Yeah right, Brandon Aubrey, Jason Sanders,

251
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: Jake Moody, those are all.

252
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: Aubrey I think, is like, yeah, so I think Aubrey's

253
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: like the best kicker in the league.

254
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got four solid options there. Yeah, all right,

255
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: the draft is completing. Everybody took kickers late. You got

256
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: an eighty three out of one hundred.

257
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: Quarterback's problematic. Yeah.

258
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's how they break down your roster. Overall, you

259
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: have the six best roster. Your starters are fourth best, Okay,

260
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: bench six best.

261
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: The quarterback in the bench.

262
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, quarterback is eleventh.

263
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, surprise on twelve.

264
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 3: Running back fifth, wide receiver, eighth, tight end sixth Okay,

265
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: flex player is sixth. Defense, special team six, kicker second.

266
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: My biggest problem other than quarterback isn't great. I didn't

267
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: take enough big swings like that roster looks like the

268
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: team that comes in fourth might as well coming last,

269
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yeah, Like, Walker's fine, and

270
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: I mean the guys I like, obviously we wouldn't have

271
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: taken them, But who could win the league for me?

272
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels? Could Jayden Daniels could?

273
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: I mean if he's he runs for one thousand yards

274
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: and throws for.

275
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: Thirty five hundred Yeah, yeah, ends up in the end zone.

276
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: A handful of you know, a bunch. He was the one.

277
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: It was like, that's why I took him ahead of

278
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: some of the boring golf types. Yeah yeah.

279
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: Outside of that, I mean, could uh Jamior Gibbs blow

280
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: up this year? David Montgomery a thing?

281
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: He's still a thing. You know, could Kenneth Walker blow up?

282
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: Yeah he could, he could. Yeah, I might saying none

283
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: of them could be good, you know, but that's that's

284
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: kind of a chan Anthony Richardson way I look at things. Yeah,

285
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to come in second. I don't want

286
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: to come in fifth, you know, and have a really

287
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: good year, doesn't pay the bills.

288
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: She rice in the sixth round.

289
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Could Yeah he could be a thing. Yeah, especially if

290
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: Kelsey goes backwards. Yeah, that's who he's competing with.

291
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: And I had a lot of red zone targets, last targets.

292
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: He's still going too late. Yeah. I think he's going

293
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: to lead that team interceptions, good chance. Yeah, and that's

294
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: a good team. The leading herself significant Yeah, I mean

295
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: something definitely significant. Yeah.

296
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: That's uh, well, not the worst draft, No, not the best.

297
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: I would probably go fish, but the first two picks

298
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: are what I'm most worried about, and they went my way. Yeah,

299
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: after that, I didn't love things. He is Matt Williamson.

300
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: I am Dale.

301
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: Welly, you're listening to the draft here on the Steelers

302
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: Audio Network. That was a mock draft, with Matt picking

303
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: eleventh in his mock draft, which he'll do tonight.

304
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so we'll see.

305
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: We'll see Tuesday how he came out of that one.

306
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will one to talk about.

307
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: Too, absolutely, but we're going to get to another break.

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: He is Matt Williamson.

309
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,360

Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly.

316
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: He is the Matt Williamson and Matt looking here on

317
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: ESPN plus. Ben Solik from ESPN has put together his

318
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: X factors for the twenty twenty four season key players

319
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: for all thirty two teams.

320
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: I thought we'd go through that. Yeah, he does really

321
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: good work too. He's a young guy, but he's on

322
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: top of things.

323
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: You want to start with the Steelers, you want to

324
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: go all right, So his X factor.

325
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: Who would be yours?

326
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: I can't really disagree with his pick of Russell Wilson's

327
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: and Justin Fields just because it's quarterback position.

328
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: He's but yeah, he says he tends to not like

329
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: to do that. Here's what he said, though I don't

330
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: think he takes a lot of the easy way out.

331
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so listen, I don't want to be writing about

332
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: Wilson fields right now. I want to write about sophomore

333
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: jump from Keanu Benton. I want to write about the

334
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: return of pet Ten and Pat Matt Friermouth to the offense,

335
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: or the development of offensive tackle Broderick Jones. Or we're

336
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: forgetting about how good Minka Fitzpatrick is. We're talking about

337
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: the emergency Joey Porter Junior a lot of good.

338
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah right, those are fun storylines.

339
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah right.

340
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: Let we talk about that all day long.

341
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: Instead, I must be honest and admit that functional quarterlay

342
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: is such a big deal in Pittsburgh. Then I will

343
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: break my non quarterback rule and focus on Wilson and fields.

344
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: He said.

345
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: I know for a fact that this is a playoff

346
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: caliber roster because Mike Tomlin has dragged to the playoffs

347
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: a year over year despite intolerable play. If Kenny Pickett,

348
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: Duck Hodges, Mason Rudolph, late career Ben Roethlisberger, if Wilson

349
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: the week one started can provide value as a deep

350
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: ball artists or quick game distributor. It will help the

351
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: Steelers go from funny place story do actual playoff threat.

352
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: I like the way he phrased all that. Yeah, I

353
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: think that's really well written and a good angle on

354
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: it all.

355
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: If he can't, then perhaps fields legs, which kept a

356
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 3: poor Chicago offense as afloat, will do the same thing

357
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. As long as the Steelers get, say, the

358
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: twentieth best quarterback play in the league this season, they

359
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: should be a double digit win team.

360
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: That sounds like a lot of stuff we've been saying. Yeah,

361
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not asking for Josh Allen level play.

362
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: I don't need I got to be in the MVP race.

363
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: But if you have the twentieth best quarterback play in

364
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: this for seventeen games, I think they win double digit games.

365
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: And I think they're certainly capable of getting that. Yeah,

366
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: I think Wilson still has that in him.

367
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not top ten Russ anymore.

368
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: Probably not. I bet he's better than Denver Russ. Yeah,

369
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: I do believe that.

370
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: I know he's going to be better than what they've

371
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 3: ran out there last year.

372
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: I could also write a story and I'm not implying

373
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: that he should be the starter that they could win

374
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: ten games with fields and just run the ball like

375
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: insane people, you know, I mean, I mean, just really play.

376
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: You'd have to live with more mistakes. There'd be more mistakes,

377
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: but I mean the run pass percentage would be really

378
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: high on one direction. Yeah, and the defense is top five,

379
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: like we think. I mean, so that whole room it

380
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: is the X factor. Yeah. I could make up something

381
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: like if Cam Hayward's one of the best defensive linemen

382
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: in the league, again, they'll be the best defense. But

383
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: he's not going to be bad.

384
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: No, he's not going to be a liability out better

385
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: than he was last year. Yeah, right, or right, because

386
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 3: I thought last year he was about seventy five percent

387
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: less than what he was previous year.

388
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe even less. And even like you can often

389
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: like cite a first round pick. That's a huge X factor.

390
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: I mean the line in general, because we've seen a

391
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: couple of injuries. It's making me more nervous than it

392
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: did a month ago. But has to be was the

393
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: X fact. Yeah, yeah, you know, but it has to

394
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: be the quarterback room.

395
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: Looking at the rest of the division. For the Ravens,

396
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: it's offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley.

397
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: I mean, talk aboutn X factor. Yeah, it could go

398
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: either way.

399
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: You just so the Ravens offensive line wasn't great overall

400
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: last year. I think it's a misnomer that it was

401
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 3: because they ran the ball.

402
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a lot of that scheme and Lamar.

403
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: And Yeah, but it survived despite stanley struggles. In twenty

404
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: twenty four, right tackle Morgan Moses is gone. Right guard

405
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 3: Kevin Zeitler's gone, left guard John Simpson has gone. That's

406
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: two thousand seven and forty four offensive line snaps out there.

407
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: That's the way you gotta look at it. Yeah, that's

408
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: where you gotta replace that. You got to replace that

409
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: with Filele and Rosy Garden and right. No, but you

410
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: don't want to have to replace the left tackle now.

411
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: Right if he's a part time player for them again

412
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: this year.

413
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in trouble or a liability. Yeah, he doesn't

414
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: have to be the guy you signed. I mean he

415
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: that was a top five trending that way. Everyone on

416
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: the planet would have given that left tackle yunny, you

417
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: know at that time, at that time. Yeah, he does

418
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: not do that guy, but he can't be bad. Yeah,

419
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: So that's a that's a great example, Uh, for Cincinnati,

420
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: I'd even throw in like away, you know, and some

421
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: of those type of.

422
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: Dudes Cincinnati at safety Gino Stone.

423
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean if Gino Stone flops, it doesn't mean

424
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: the season shot though.

425
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: No, but he's not gonna be He's not gonna go

426
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: out and get eight interceptions or whatever he end.

427
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: No, I bet I bet the write up says if

428
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: he could stabilize the safety position, because they do ask

429
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: him a lot mentally. Yeah, okay, I get it. You

430
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 2: don't want to say like Burrow's health. I mean that's boring. No,

431
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: that's boring. Yeah.

432
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: For the Browns, well, he goes to the quarterback. Well,

433
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: again it's de Shaan Watson.

434
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: There's a handful of teams or you just have you

435
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: have to, you have to. Yeah, And it is because

436
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: the rest of the ros Crooks pretty are good, you know.

437
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: I mean if he was what if he's the twentieth

438
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: best kid Nick Chubb there though as well. Yeah, he's

439
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: kind of out of sight, out of mind for me. Yeah,

440
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: I'm not expecting him to do anything like I see people.

441
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: Well he's you know, Chub's gonna be out four weeks. No,

442
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: it's it's a minimum of four weeks. Oh yeah, I

443
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: mean that's he has to be out thought four weeks.

444
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: He may not play at all this year, right, there's

445
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: no guarantee. No same question. Then, let's say Deshaun Watson

446
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: plays seventeen games this year and is the twentieth best

447
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: quarterback in the league. Do they win double digit games?

448
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: I think yes. I don't know if they do.

449
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: I think they get to ten then, because here's the thing,

450
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: they're paying him to play much better than that.

451
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not talking about Chase. I don't know that

452
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to run the ball effectively. Oh,

453
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: I don't think I have the normal run game. Yeah.

454
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean if they had Chubb and he's the twentieth

455
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: best quarterback, then I agree with you.

456
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, a healthy Chub. So I think we agree.

457
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: Which is a pretty strong statement that the Steelers have

458
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: a better running game than the Browns. Yes, I think

459
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: that's true. It probably was true the last six games

460
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: or whatever last year too.

461
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: Again, last ten games games, last ten games the last season,

462
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: they average one hundred and forty rushing yards per game.

463
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: Was that first or second during that second in the

464
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: league over the whole year? Yeah, yeah, Okay, without Chubb,

465
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: I think the Series are a better running game than Browns.

466
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't think ten games is crazy to say if

467
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 2: they get the twentieth best quarterback play though not they Yeah,

468
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: he has waged, hasn't shown that he's capable of that.

469
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: Kind of the difference to your point is now they're

470
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: catering the offense to him, right, three wides throw it

471
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: more and if he's the worst part of that, you

472
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: don't hide the quarterback as much. Yeah, you know you're

473
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: angling with there. Yeah.

474
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 3: Looking at some of the other stuff from around the league.

475
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 3: Here in Arizona, it's edge rushers, Aven Collins.

476
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything on defense.

477
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: Uh, defensive tackle Kobe Turner for the Rams.

478
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: He's not going to be Donald, but he better not

479
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: turn into a pumpkin.

480
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: Either, right, Yeah. Trent Williams and San Francisco. Yeah, what

481
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: happens there. Tariq Woolen in Seattle.

482
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 2: Okay, he was really good. A rookie can bounce back

483
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: and they get the most out.

484
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: For Dallas, it's linebacker Demarvian Overshawn.

485
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: I think he's the green dot every down guy, which

486
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 2: is scary. That's the next factor. I think that's a

487
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: good one. That's not where you want to be on that.

488
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 3: For the Giants' is rookie cornerback Deonte Banks.

489
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. They're really young in the secondary too.

490
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. Philadelphia center Cam Jurgens, it's got a big shoes.

491
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, big shoes.

492
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 3: For Washington, it's wide receiver Diami Brown.

493
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: Although I think that's part of the reason they traded Dodson.

494
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: I think this kid's coming into his own He's to

495
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: be a starter. We'll see.

496
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 3: For Chicago, it's defensive tackle Gervin Dexter.

497
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, talented, but the way's away at least last year.

498
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: In Detroit, it's wide receiver Jamison Williams.

499
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, now he's down on them.

500
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: Green Bay is safety Xavier McKinney.

501
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: When you invest what you did and you know.

502
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 3: Draft yeah yeah yeah.

503
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

504
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: From Minnesota, it's edge rusher Jonathan Greener. He could have

505
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 3: gone quarterback there.

506
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: Too, sure, or like Interiro line. Yeah. Uh.

507
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: For the Falcons who the Steelers playing the opener, it's

508
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: edge rusher Matthew Judon.

509
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw today. The last time they had double

510
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: digit guy with sacks was Vic Beasley in like twenty eighteen.

511
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: It was twenty seventeen. It was a seventeen Yeah, and

512
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: their sack leaders last year were Bud Depre and Klais Campbell,

513
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: who aren't back. Yeah, ten and a half six and

514
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 2: uh For the Carolina is that in there? What's that?

515
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: Did you just read that? No? Oh? Okay, so maybe

516
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: that was in there where I's where I saw it from. Okay.

517
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 3: For the Panthers, it's uh Kwanu, the offensive tackle.

518
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they need him to be good. Yeaeah. I

519
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: don't thinky messed him up or he messed himself up

520
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: because he had showed a lot of promise and now

521
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: he's been horrendous.

522
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: For the Saints, it's offensive tackle Trevor Penning.

523
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: I think he's a shot. Him and Neil with the Giant,

524
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: I think are just boss.

525
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: For Tampa Bay, cornerback Zion McCollum.

526
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: Okay, they'd lost what's his face to the Bucks.

527
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: For the Denver Broncos at center Luke Wattenberg.

528
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: That might be a worse center situation in the league,

529
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: unless he's a better player than I know, which is

530
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: quite possible. They let Kushienberry go. Yeah. Uh yeah. For

531
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs is cornerback Trent mcduffee. Okay, but I think

532
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: we know what he is now, I don't know that

533
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: he's a wild card X factor. Uh.

534
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 3: The Raiders is a mere white at running back.

535
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if he trends the wrong way? They don't.

536
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: They don't have anything else he can't. For the Chargers,

537
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: it's running back JK.

538
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: Dobbins. Yeah, maybe he's good. Maybe maybe. I mean, if

539
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: he is, wow, that'd be great. I'm not expecting it,

540
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: but wow.

541
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: For the Bills, it's tight end Dalton Kincaid, Morens Plate.

542
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: For the Dolphins, every day defensive tackle.

543
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: That's perfect.

544
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 3: Here's their tackles, Benido Jones, Zach Siler, Jonathan Harris, Deshaun hand.

545
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: Siler's the player, like if we covered the Dolphins movie, like,

546
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: he's better than you think. You know, he's a good

547
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: quality dude. The rest of the guys are problematic, but

548
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: Silo would be a good number two. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

549
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: he's a Ogan Joe be at best. I mean yeah,

550
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: I mean, like, he's not who you build things around.

551
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 3: For the Patriots, offensive tackle Vederian Lowe, Okay, that's low low,

552
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: low bar.

553
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 2: You go a lot of different places on that one.

554
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: For the Jets, edge rusher Hassan Reddick, who's doing a

555
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: Trent Williams right now, and they trade it for him,

556
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: and he's still not in camp or not with the team.

557
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: He wants a new contract and they're not giving it there.

558
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: But they traded for him. They didn't give him a contract. Yeah,

559
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: why do they think he was happy with the one

560
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: they traded for.

561
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: It just boggles my mind.

562
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes no sense at all. I wonder if

563
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: he ends up in Chicago or something.

564
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: For the Texans, it's linebacker Aziz al Shayer.

565
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean they want to install that Niners like

566
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: defense and he has a history for the corner.

567
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: The Colts, it's cornerback Juju Brents.

568
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're counting on to be a starter, second round pick,

569
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: talented guy.

570
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: The Jaguars, it's edge rusher Travon Walker.

571
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: You hope he explodes. Dont be worth the first overall pick,

572
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: but he's shown glimpses For.

573
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: The Titans, cornerback Lugerious Snead.

574
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: I'd say also the way he invested them there.

575
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: He spent a lot of money on him and he

576
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: gave up draft capital. Better be good, He better be good.

577
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 3: He better be worth what you gave up.

578
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: He could change your defense. He could, he could. That

579
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: is uh that's Ben Solix. That's a good list X

580
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 2: factor Yeah, well done.

581
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's some good stuff on there. And anybody else

582
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: for the Steelers that you would look at and say

583
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: that we.

584
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: Didn't mention had a tough time with them. I mean,

585
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: like maybe the old line as a whole and how the.

586
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 3: Pieces could be the X factor.

587
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought about that too. Or can Jefferson be

588
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: better than you think? Or could Roman Wilson be on

589
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: a field a lot by week eight that could change

590
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: to the offense trajectory a little bit. Yeah. Part of

591
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: me this kind of thinks, how do the O line

592
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: pieces all fit together? And hopefully no other pieces break?

593
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: You know.

594
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean there's there's a lot of good

595
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: ones there, but yeah, more much closer to this thing.

596
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, Like I thought about Peyton Wilson, you know, like, yeah,

597
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: could he be a real difference maker? And because he

598
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: shows signs of that, I don't think it's crazy to

599
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: bring it up. But if he isn't and he's rotating,

600
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: he'll probably be okay, Yeah, yeah, I mean it could

601
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 2: be Dante Jackson could be Dante Jackson. Yeah, what if

602
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: he's a solid two? Yeah, take it absolutely.

603
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: I mean if he's if he is a solid two

604
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: and you think Porter is the true is the same

605
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: number one type guy, all of a sudden that defense

606
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: might be number one in the LEA.

607
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: I tend to lean that way too. Yeah, so yeah,

608
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: that's good.

609
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,280

00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: of these season long stuff here.

620
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

621
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looking here at some of the NFL betting

622
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: future odds for some of the major awards, MVP Award,

623
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: who you got this year?

624
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm taking my homes and I understand that's boring, but

625
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: I expect him to have his best year to date,

626
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: which is a monster accomplishment, So that aside. I think

627
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: if I was putting money on it to pay off,

628
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Burrow would be really high on my list. He's plus

629
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: nine fifty. I picked the Bills to win their Vision

630
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: and if they do. Allen had a superb year.

631
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: He's plus eight fifty.

632
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: And here's a weird one for you. If I were

633
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: to take an NFC player, it would be Jordan Love.

634
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say that one. Okay, he's plus

635
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: fourteen hundred? Is he because I like.

636
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 2: As good as golf is and if the Lions goes

637
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, I don't think he's like MVP type guy,

638
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

639
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: Is it weird that Lamar Jackson's plus two thousand.

640
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: He's further odds than Love. Yeah, that is weird. He's

641
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: won it twice, right, I mean maybe part of that

642
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: is voters are reluctant to give it to you a

643
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: third time, but pays off pretty well. Yeah, I think

644
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: that's too high.

645
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I Love with to Me is a

646
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: nice sleeper pick there.

647
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: In NFC one. There's not much competition there.

648
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: No, there really isn't.

649
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: NFL. Do you have a favorite? Not really the MVP world.

650
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I agree Mahome.

651
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: Should be the favorite. Oh, he should be the favorite

652
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: by far.

653
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: Looking at the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Michaeh.

654
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: Parsons is plus five point fifty, as is TJ. Watt

655
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: leading the away with that.

656
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: See, I'm torn between the two. I'm unhappy that they're

657
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: the leaders in the clubhouse. I know Garrett's not gonna

658
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: be far off or Bosa. I don't know the raid.

659
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: Crosby's plus seven hundred, Garretts plus eight hundred, Bosa's plus

660
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 3: eight fifty.

661
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: See. I leaned towards Parsons to bet with my head

662
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: and not my heart because he hasn't gotten one yet.

663
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: And if they're splitting hairs, I.

664
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: Think the thing though, I think their defense is going

665
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: to be good enough.

666
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: I like the zimmers there, but I don't like the

667
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: rest of the defense all that much. Yeah. I didn't

668
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: want to say what, but I think that they're I

669
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: think he got the fact that he got jobbed on

670
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: the award last year. I think that helps. I think

671
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: that helps I do too. Yeah, And I think it's

672
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: not insane to say he might be the best player

673
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: on the best defense in the league, right, you know?

674
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 2: And Garrett might be two, you know, I mean that

675
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: he could be in that conversation again, but I doubt

676
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: he wins it back to back. I actually think the

677
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: Steelers might maybe three times this year, have a nice

678
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: lead near the end of the game and let him

679
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: pick up some cheepy sacks.

680
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, yeah, especially early in the season. You

681
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: look at some of that, I.

682
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: Mean, yeah, right, I mean they play Washington at one point,

683
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: or I mean some game will.

684
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: Go their way, or you know, playing the Giants, you're playing,

685
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 3: you know, some of these teams, yeah, yeah, have some

686
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: offensive line issues, young quarterbacks that a team.

687
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: Were not thinking of late in the year. There are

688
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: ravens lines falling apart or something like that.

689
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and again

690
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: this usually doesn't go to a quarterback.

691
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: I lean towards Tyreek.

692
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: Tyreek's the favorite physic plus seven hundred, Christan McCaffrey plus

693
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: eight fifty.

694
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure Lamb's high.

695
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: Lambs at plus one thousand. Those are the top three guys.

696
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm into the top three and fantasy picks too.

697
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: And I do think Chase could get in the equation.

698
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: He's plus twelve hundred if Burrows as good as I

699
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: think he might be.

700
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: I like Bjeon Robinson a plus eighteen hundred.

701
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a nice one too. I was actually gonna

702
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: asked about how and Robinson, but I think Robinson's a

703
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: much better chance.

704
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: Hall is plus fifteen hundred. Sae Kwon Barkley at plus

705
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: twenty two hundred is not bad.

706
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: What Derrick Henry it's a long shot. I mean, I'm

707
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: just what if he scores fifteen touchdown.

708
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: He's plus five thousand.

709
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: I might put five bucks on that. Yeah, so but

710
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: the problem with him is he done. He's not going

711
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: to catch anything. He's not. But if they happen to

712
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 2: win thirteen games and he has leads the league in

713
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns by a wide margin, and yeah, look at the

714
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: difference he's made. You know, he's splashy. No, he certainly is.

715
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: Bijeon would be my running back, not that I think

716
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: he's got a better chance to McCaffrey. But for the.

717
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: Payoff offensive Rookie of the year, Caleb Williams by far

718
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: the leaders.

719
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too much. I saw the odds on it

720
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: recently and he's almost like one to one. Yeah, Like,

721
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: if you give me the field I'm taking the field.

722
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels is plus five hundred.

723
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

724
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: I mean he again throws for three thousand yards and

725
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: runs for close to one thousand.

726
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean Neighbors at Harrison could catch a

727
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: ton of balls.

728
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 3: Neighbors is plus fourteen hundred. Harrison's plus six fifty. Bo

729
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: Nixes plus one thousand.

730
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: He's going to play a lot. Yeah for the buck,

731
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: I think I'd take Neighbors.

732
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: Pays well, it does. I mean to me, quarterbacks are

733
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: the lead, of course, yeah, they play, you know, most

734
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: of the games. I think Daniels and Knicks are both solids.

735
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: Any sneaky running backs, it's a really bad running back,

736
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: really is.

737
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean you have to go way down. Blake Koram

738
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: is the leader there at plus seven seventy five hundred.

739
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean I knew it wouldn't be Brooks or Benson.

740
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a tough one.

741
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Someone would have to get hurt week one, you know,

742
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: like Karen Williams or something.

743
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: Defensive Rookie of the year a lot too.

744
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 2: I think I said this on the year before the

745
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: day after the draft, they bet on a lot too.

746
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: He's plus four hundred.

747
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: He's the leader. He had a lot better odds on

748
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: it then.

749
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: Dallas Turners plus four fifty.

750
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. He's a double digitzach guy from day

751
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: one though. He's a lot of finass.

752
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: Jared versus plus one thousand. Yeah, Byron Murphy plus one thousand,

753
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 3: that's what I like. Terry and Arnold plus twelve hundred.

754
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 3: Tough to win as a corner, it is. But yeah,

755
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna be on TV a lot.

756
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: That's true. That's right, that's true. It takes a ball

757
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: away a couple of times or starts getting a lot

758
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: of credit in the national media. Yeah, yeah, I don't

759
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 2: off the ball linebackers week. I mean I doubt like Eddrian.

760
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: Cooper Wilson's plus three thousand. Yeah, he's tied with Nate

761
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: Wiggins for.

762
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: The what if Robert gets hurt or Wilson just makes

763
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 2: too many plays that you have to keep one.

764
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 3: He's actually the first off ball linebacker listed on here,

765
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: is he?

766
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean he was the most productive one in college, right,

767
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Vegas doesn't care where you were drafted or

768
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: if he might not last five years. They don't care

769
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: about that stuff, you know, They just what do you

770
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: make an impact now. Yeah, he might make an impact

771
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 2: now and for a long time. Who knows. Yeah, that's

772
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: not terrible. I mean, two bucks on it. You know,

773
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 2: absolutely who you like for Coach of the Year. I

774
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: think it's the hardest one to predict that.

775
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: It really is.

776
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: It has to be somebody. Well, let's go back to

777
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 2: the first segment, our predictions. I mean, if the Lions

778
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: get to the Super Bowl, well, I think it's voted

779
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: on after the regular season. At the end of the

780
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: regular season. Yeah, the playoffs are not a factor. But

781
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: if they're the one seed in the NFC, could he

782
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 2: get it or is that just meeting expectations and that's

783
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: not good enough. I think that's a little bit above expectation.

784
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: Isn't the one seed in the NFC is pretty soon? Yeah,

785
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: that would be pretty good. Yeah.

786
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: I think if Falcons win the AFC South or hem,

787
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: Morris will get Yeah.

788
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean because he turned things around to some degree,

789
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: you know, they're go in the right direction. That's a

790
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: good one. Yeah. If they win ten games in a

791
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: bad schedule and two game lead in the South. What

792
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 2: if Carolina wins like six games, I don't think that'll

793
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 2: be enough.

794
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can I can see a lot of people

795
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 3: pushing for Jim Harbaugh.

796
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: If they win.

797
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: If they get the five hundred, they win seven, eight,

798
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: nine games.

799
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: I think nine might get it to him. I don't

800
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: see it happening.

801
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either.

802
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: If one of those guys like a Harbaugh or a

803
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: Peyton gets to mediocrity, like they won nine games with

804
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 2: that roster, Yeah, that's a heck of a coach. Maybe

805
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: can Mike Tomlin win it? If they win, they have

806
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: to win the division. I think, yeah, he went division

807
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: he should, although Sefanski didn't. He's won.

808
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 3: Sefanski's won it twice without winning the division title.

809
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure why he went last year. I

810
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 2: don't think he should have. I don't either. Is it

811
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 2: because they had four quarterbacks play? I guess. I mean

812
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: that's hard to overcome. Don't get me wrong. But you're

813
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: fourth in the division or your third in the division, Yeah,

814
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: I mean right, you still didn't win a playoff, like right, right?

815
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: Whi's a real good defense and you're the offensive guy.

816
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've won it twice without winning the division title.

817
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 3: It's crazy to me, And.

818
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't think he's Shanahan scheming things up. On offense,

819
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 2: you know, like he's the offensive coordinator. Base. Any way

820
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: that Harbar or Taylor wins it, I don't see it.

821
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't either, Like what would the Ravens have to do.

822
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 2: I mean, they were the best team in the league

823
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: last year in the regular.

824
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: Season, Like Andy Rio can't win it, right, right, there's

825
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: just the expectations that Shanahan can't win it.

826
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: I think Tomlin has the best chance in the division maybe,

827
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: which is weird.

828
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: I could see I could see people like if Cincinnati

829
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 3: goes out and wins thirteen games, I could see Zach

830
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: Taylor getting some.

831
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: If they're the one seed. Yeah, that'd be hard to deny. Yeah,

832
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean they did finish last last year in the division.

833
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers win the division. It'd be hard

834
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: to deny tom win. But otherwise everyone's would be like,

835
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: that's three DAWs every year. You know you could yeah,

836
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 2: the whole team, you get hurt and they win nine

837
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: or ten and get in the playoffs. Well he does

838
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: that every year. O.

839
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: The guy in Seattle could win it.

840
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, how about like Jacksonville or Indy, they

841
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: get to like ten wins, maybe you know, get some

842
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: bounces and their quarterbacks look like guys, because that's how

843
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: that's the kind of guy, that's how that ward go. Really,

844
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to think as the voters think,

845
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: which isn't really doesn't mean it's the best coach in

846
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: the league. Yeah, I'm just I don't even see.

847
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 3: They don't even have odds on it here, which is

848
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 3: one of the they have odds on everything.

849
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: I would think it's Vegas. It'd be tough to handicap too,

850
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: it must be. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you could bet

851
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: it on somewhere, but it's got to be a tough

852
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: one to handicap. Yeah, I'm like, comeback player of the Year.

853
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: I don't even care about that one.

854
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: It shouldn't exist.

855
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: It really shouldn't.

856
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it could be looked at too many ways.

857
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Well that's going to do it

858
