1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your home of the Black 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation radioun Welcome back to the Drive. 3 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and I'm Matt. 4 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: It's time, the time of the year where to start 5 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: actually looking at power ranking words that kind of stuff. 6 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: So I thought we'd spend this segment doing all of that. 7 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: I get my first power ranks, so the official one 8 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: for you know, going into the league today. It was fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 9 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: So Matt Mike Sando, who we refer to his work 10 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: sometimes on her put together a power rankings of just 11 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: the a f C again not him. These are five 12 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: voters and he actually put out a chart. He doesn't 13 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: name who the voters are, right, anonymous people in the 14 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: league and all those things. Uh So, according to his 15 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: the votes the executive this is NFL executives. Um I 16 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: assume then to see will come out tomorrow. I didn't read, 17 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, AC was today. So he has the Chiefs one, 18 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: the Bills to Baltimore, three Cleveland for the Colts, five, 19 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: the Charger, six, Titan, seven, Patriots eight Steelers ninth. It's 20 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: a little rough out of six team Broncos ten Dolphins eleventh, 21 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Radar twelve, Jacksonville thirteen, Bengals fourteen, Jets fifteen, Houston six 22 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: team it was bottom five, I agree with. So I'm 23 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: looking here on this on the same thing. Here, he 24 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: has a chart on how everybody voted. Again doesn't name 25 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: who they are. So if you look at the votes 26 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, Voter one had them fifth, Voter two 27 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: had them ninth, Voters three had them fourth. Okay, Voter 28 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: four had them eleventh, Voter five had them ten. Yeah, 29 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: that's harsh. And I'm looking here at the how these 30 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: other guys. But now the guy who voted them tenth 31 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: had Denver ahead of them at nine. So that was 32 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: the only The rest of his order went with how 33 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: the order of the rangement, And I can see being 34 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: high on Denver members will be hard to play against. 35 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: Voter four. This one's at Kansas City one, Buffalo two. Okay, 36 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: that's chalk his third best team, New England. I'm sorry, yeah, 37 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no way, Yeah, it's a little rich. He 38 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: voted the Chargers fourth. Voter four is an is an 39 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: a f C West guy. I'm convinced of that because 40 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: he then had he had Indianapolis fifth. He had Denver six. Yeah, 41 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: even three FC West teams in the top six. Nobody 42 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: in the world has three a f C West teams 43 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: in the top of four. Baltimore for Cleveland, we're not 44 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: even talking about Steelers before. Yeah, that's a little surprising. 45 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: He had seventh, He has Baltimore. We're just pretty late 46 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: for what they've done lately. Eighth, he has Las Vegas, 47 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: so he has the Raiders as the eighth best team. 48 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: He has all four a f C West teams in 49 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: his top eight. Top eight, he should be You should 50 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: drop Sando a note right now and say that guy 51 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: should be eliminated from this that if that wasn't David Carr, 52 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't know who it was, could be voting for 53 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: bro and you know all the tough guys they have 54 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: to play against. I would have eliminated that one because 55 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: that's asinine, it's a little foolish. The Browns were ninth, 56 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: the Titans ten. Nine. Browns are pretty good team. The 57 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Browns ninth, the Titans tenth, the Steelers eleventh. I'm sorry 58 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: you lose your vote those three. It was the most 59 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: egregious of all of them, So that excuse the whole thing. 60 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: If if you put the Patriots where everybody else had 61 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots, they were eight ten, seven, three eight. If 62 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: you put them, you put them back at eight. The 63 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: Steelers actually, and the Steelers where everybody else was putting 64 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 1: them for the most part. The Steelers finished that power 65 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: pool at least eight. Maybe catch the Titans because he 66 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: had the Titans tent so he skewed that one too. 67 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't care if we dig into my power ranks 68 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: or not, but it just along those lines. I noticed 69 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: when I was doing them today, I had eight teams 70 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: in the top thirteen from the a f C. And 71 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: I also had a tear where I had the Chargers, Patriots, Titans, Steelers. 72 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: I had all four of the was in a row, 73 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: and I thought those four were really a tear that 74 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: you can make an argument for any of them. Um, 75 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: and I think I went Chargers, Steelers, Patriots, Titans in 76 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: that order. You know, I I can see some tower 77 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: racial heart. I mean they didn't start, but you know, 78 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: those four to me, especially once the game start getting played, 79 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: because it's not like college football. Well, those team beat 80 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: that team, so therefore I moved them ahead of them. 81 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: But the previous in the NFL the previous the previous week, 82 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: this team beat the other team. It's just it turns 83 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: out Twitter tells me about that all the time. But 84 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: you but you have this guy lower. But they beat 85 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: the team ahead of them. But but that was a 86 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: month ago. That was a month ago, and that team 87 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: beat the team to beat you though. You know, I'm 88 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: not going down those roads and the other way I 89 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: do it, and I bet it's a little different than 90 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: these executives. It's like I was really hard on the 91 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Colts because I didn't right where they are today, not 92 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: how they're gonna finish if they play a game today 93 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: with their injuries and concerns. I had to call it's 94 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: really low because I mean, I think they'll get better. 95 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm not predicting where they end up in their division. 96 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying how good are the teams right this minute. 97 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: The one that threw me for a loop there though, 98 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: is I think the Raiders are bad. They're bad football. 99 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: They're bad. They're nowhere close to Pittsburgh or the Chargers 100 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: or not. I mean, if he has an atheism competing 101 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: for playoffs, right right, seven teams make it? That's your eight. 102 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: You think that you think that the Raiders having to 103 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: play three of the other top teams in in your conference. 104 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: They'd have to go three and three against them the 105 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: other teams in the conference just to have a chance 106 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: to be to be number eight. Yeah, and they're right 107 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: there with the Steelers for hardest schedule in the league anyway. 108 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't even look at schedule or these 109 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: aren't predictions. I think they're not very Maybe it was mayok. 110 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe it was. That's that's your inside, 111 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: you know. But I don't think their defense is good. 112 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: They're totally revamped. You know, they're gonna ask more from 113 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: car which is fine, but their weapons are okay, I 114 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: think they are something about them today. They still have 115 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: to make some moves to get under the salary cap. Wow, 116 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: that's why they cut guys like Karl Joseph and let 117 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: and let John Brown go because they were high priced 118 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: veterans that they couldn't afford. I didn't realize that part. Wow, 119 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: they're up against the cap. They're still in that quandary. 120 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: And you're not that good. To me, you're not good 121 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: enough to be up against the cats. Different if you're 122 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: the Saints who had to deal with a lot of 123 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: hardships from COVID or you know, your Tampa or somebody 124 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: like that. It's just loaded with good players. But wow, 125 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: that's mismanagement there. Yeah, before we move on from that, 126 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: I didn't want to mention in the comments about the Steelers, 127 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: and I know you read this part of it. One 128 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: of the guys said that, um, if Ben starts season 129 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: out like he finished last year and sucks, yeah, we 130 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: can just put them in trash can and move on. Yeah. 131 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: Did you know what, watch the preseason at all and 132 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: be I mean like this seems harsh. It's somewhat of 133 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: a shortcut to me to just say the thirty nine 134 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: year old quarterback is gonna be is done, is done 135 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: and it was all his fault. Cannon stopped losing games? Baby, Yeah, 136 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: he was a former media guy, you know, right? Yeah, 137 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: just did Ben play well done? Stretch? No? By his standards? 138 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: Is he the only reason that they didn't? They weren't 139 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: undefeated and not super Bowl champs? No? Well, as another guy, 140 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: as another one of the guys said, Sando mentions he 141 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: slipped the numbers tier three guy in his quarterback tears, 142 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: which I think is valid. One voter says he could 143 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: come back and be a Tier two guy. They didn't 144 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: run the ball. They had guys hurt, and then he 145 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: got hurt due to me. That's analysis. That's really paying attention, 146 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: you know. Not he's old. He sucks. You know, he's 147 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: not gonna have any value at all. You know, he 148 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: can't do a thing, you know. Come on, So let's 149 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: get to your power rankings. Okay, so you've got Tampa 150 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: Bay one, Kansas City to you want to go from 151 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: the top of the bottom. That doesn't matter. Buffalo three. Yeah, 152 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: the top three were pretty easy. For Green Bay four. 153 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty That was pretty chocky. Chocky too. 154 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: After that, I think I made a cut a little 155 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: bit of waves. You've got San Francisco five. I don't 156 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: know if I agree with that. I think there's four 157 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: teams in a row there that I also considered a 158 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: tier San France. Yeah, it was San fran Rams and 159 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: the two a f C North teams, Browns and Ravens. 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: I would have the Rams ahead of I got some 161 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: meat for that, don't get me wrong. I think the 162 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: Diners will be hard to play against. I think they're deeper. 163 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: But that was a close call. Stafford is gonna be 164 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: a big difference, I do to. I just think they're 165 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: a little thinner, um, but I hear you, and it's 166 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: a little a little high in the Niners. Uh. Then 167 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: you have Cleveland and Baltimore at seven and eight. I 168 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: was torn between those two, and to be honest, if 169 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: it wasn't for Dobbins and Bateman and a couple of 170 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: bad mojo, I definitely would have Baltimore ahead of them. 171 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: I just think that time not get any good reports 172 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: out of the Ravens. Yeah. I might actually bump the 173 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: Ravens down a little bit from that, Yeah, just based 174 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: on how how their preseason went for them. It's not good. 175 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: You have big additions are kind of black. Yeah, even 176 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: if reports about filling the wave at right tackle, we're 177 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: not good, no, right, which is kind of what we thought. Well, 178 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: who's right behind them? Though, I didn't know you had Seattle, 179 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: the Chargers in Pittsburgh. I'd see Sattle and kind of 180 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: their own land, and then those next four that I mention, 181 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: because that would then be the Chargers, the Steelers, New England, Tennessee. 182 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't quite put Seattle over Brown's Ravens, Rams Niners. 183 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: But that's three teams in the West really high, three 184 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: teams in the n f C North really high. Arizona 185 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: is not that much farther behind Um. And then again 186 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: I thought Seattle kind of stood alone. I disrespect them, 187 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna be hard. I think at Russell Wilson, 188 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson and Carroll and their their offense will 189 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: be better. And then those four a FC teams to me, 190 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: and then I think you start to get into mediocrity. 191 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: Then you got the Washington Dallas Miami at six team. 192 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: That's your mid midpoint. Would you have Washington over Dallas? 193 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: They won the division last year and I think they're 194 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: noticeably better. Yeah, defense might actually be better than as 195 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: a year ago, and your quarterbacks situation is much more 196 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: settled at least I think they'll throw the ball down 197 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, you know, I mean, without question, it 198 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: will be more variance to it. But I mean one 199 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the league. Agi William accident 200 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: in the first round. Life are the exact opposite teams teams, right, 201 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: Dallas is one of the best offenses in the league. 202 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: The defense is awful, yes, Um, whereas Washington has got 203 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: a good defense. If the offenses at least average, Yeah, 204 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: they would take a fifteen thrand offense, I think and 205 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: Dallas actually, I think Washington is the best coach team 206 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: in that division now too. I mean there's some real 207 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: coaching questions, but that along those lines, and that's not 208 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: that's not a ringing endorsement. I do think dallas Is 209 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: defense won't give away points, though, I mean they've made 210 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: so many mental errors and people running free. I mean, 211 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: they'll play that basics Seattle cover three and people move 212 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: the ball on them. But the big problem with the 213 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys as well is their special teams have been awful, awful, 214 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: Like you're you're really bad on two sides, two of 215 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: the three phases. You're really good, and you might have 216 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: the best offense in the league, but you might have 217 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: like the twenty five or lower. You might be lower. 218 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: And defense and special teams kind of evens that, and 219 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: it certainly hurts. They can beat anybody, they can lose anybody. 220 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: Is the bottom line a lot of overs, Yeah, you 221 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: know what, I mean, a lot of points and you'r 222 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, Dak always has to there's no room for error. 223 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: They had so many they had so many turnovers earlier 224 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: in the year too. They just killed themselves. After that, 225 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: you got Miami's sixteen, Denver seventeen Arizona eighteen. Denver raised 226 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: some eyebrows from my audience. They were shocked I had 227 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: him that high. It's not that I love Bridgewater. My 228 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: co host evens like, well, what if they had locked, 229 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: I'd like they'd be lower. I don't like you the one, 230 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: but I think Bridgewater keeps it close and they're hard 231 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: to play against. You know, they will soon find out 232 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: that Teddy's just good enough to get you beat. That's 233 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: exactly who he is, especially when you want to play 234 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: close games, right. He's mr close game and you need 235 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: to come out on the losing end of it. You're 236 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: down four with three minutes left in the game, and 237 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: your defense holes and you get a punt at your 238 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: own ten. Teddy take it away. You're gonna at a time. Yeah, 239 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: Indianapolis and team which is low because I think that's 240 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota's right next to the Minnesota. That's another 241 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: one that I just think there's bad vibes on September two. 242 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: You know they're there, things might look up. But if 243 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: they had to play a game right, now, I don't 244 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: think they're in their best shape to do it. You know, 245 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota's those lines dealing with a lot of injuries. They 246 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: just lost Serve Smith. You know, they're scrambling a little bit, 247 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: and they haven't gotten good news out either one of 248 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: those camps. I think the other team that people would 249 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: look at this and say, you might be crazy. You 250 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: have New New Orleans at twenty one. Yeah, they get 251 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: some it's not just what's one of the hardest ones 252 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: for me on the field. Now, think about they're talking 253 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: about playing the first month of the season in Jacksonville 254 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: along those lines. But they got sons one more thing 255 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: to deal with. You're gonna have guys living in a 256 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: hotel room for a month. They just got done with 257 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: training camp. Yeah, and again I'm not predicting with and 258 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: you're worried about all my you know, you're calling the 259 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: life every night. You know, we're flooding the houses like 260 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: they're outside, influences how the kids do, And yeah, that's 261 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: gonna hurt them, without question. At actually thinking about them 262 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: on the way here driving, I'm like, they're really no 263 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: different than New England. They got a coach and no 264 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: line and a defense and recent success, which goes in 265 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: line with the coach, but they really that much different. 266 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: I think Winston can be okay, but they've got a 267 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: lot of questions and they have no depth. But the 268 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: Patriots aren't dealing with hurricane right right as far as 269 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: we know, UM Carolina two. I think at Land was 270 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: right after that. It's three NFC South teams right in 271 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: a row. Twenty three, the Giants twenty four, Yeah, then 272 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles twenty five. I think the Giants. I would 273 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: write draw a line between what Atlanta and the Giants 274 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: because I think Atlanta Carolina could have decent seasons. I 275 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: think the Giants and lower are the bad teams. That's 276 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Raiders, Chicago, Cincinnati, the Jets, Jaguars, Detroit 277 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: and Houston. Yeah, and Detroit and Houston are an easy 278 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: thirty one thirty two. I think you can have a 279 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: conversation who's thirty. I think the Jets might be there 280 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: too because I had I had some hope for them 281 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: and then they just got crushed. But with injuries, I 282 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: would have had them a little higher loss. Like starting 283 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: training camp, they're probably and then they just every everything 284 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: that happened in the off season just kind of blew 285 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: up on them, except for the quarterback. Yeah, I'm not 286 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: sure they're much different than the Bengals. You know, they 287 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: have some pieces in place. I think the organization is 288 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: going the right direction. I trust the Jets coaching staff 289 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: in front office more. At least they have building an 290 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: old line and but that both those defenses are gonna 291 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: be really bad and you're asking your first and second 292 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: year quarterbacks to do a lot um. Of all the teams, 293 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: the one I got the most heat for with Chicago. 294 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: They were in the playoffs last year, Matt, how can 295 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: you stink? And they're like, well Fields is gonna be 296 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: the savior. I'm like, well Fields isn't even the starter 297 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: right now. I mean he might see the field and okay, 298 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: Dalton might be better than Fools and Mitch, but you 299 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: can't tell me that their quarterback that like they're playing 300 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: right now, is going to take this team on his shoulders. 301 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: He may not will be on the field. There are 302 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: lines terrible, Their corners are bad. See. I think they're 303 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to make that move to field sooner rather 304 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: than later, because when they do, I might give him 305 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: a little boot. Dalton's gonna get killed. He's gonna get crushed, right, 306 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: and he'll make like he's the kind of quarterback that 307 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: when pressured like that, will make But yeah, he's not 308 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: gonna buy a time. It's that's that's not gonna go well. 309 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they're in a good year at all. 310 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: Moving on the NFL dot Com put together, it's they 311 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: pulled their writers and quote unquote experts. Adam Shine is 312 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: one of their experts and expert on anything except for 313 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: being a idiot. But so they asked him to vote 314 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: on their winners for the year. The contest winners m 315 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: v P real surprise here. Patrick Mahomes got sixteen votes, 316 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen got six to finish second, and then it 317 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: was Brady and Matthew Stafford tied for Stafford an interesting one. 318 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: And then Aaron Donald, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson all got 319 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: one vote each. I think Wilson's got a shot. He's 320 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: got a shot. This is this is how the actual 321 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: voting works, folks, And you get one vote. People were 322 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: commenting last and Russell Wilson has never gotten an MVP vote. 323 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: Well this is why, Well, this is why, and get 324 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: one vote. It's not I you don't vote for five 325 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: and attend and they yeah, I know, Ben's gotten very 326 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: few in his career to Russell, Wilson has never gotten 327 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: any because most years a guy like Lamar Mahomes gets 328 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: thirty of them. Right, you know, it's pretty clear who 329 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: the guy is, and you're a jag if you don't 330 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: vote for him, you know, you just give Russell a 331 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: stray vote even though he's third, you know, being thirds great, 332 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: But um, could Stafford win this? Yeah? I think he could? Yeah, 333 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: I think are thirteen and four and Stafford has you know, 334 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: thirty five touchdown passes and ten interceptions and he's will 335 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: be on him. You know, he's a certainly could. Um. 336 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: The better conversation, it's a lot deeper, is if you 337 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: saw the odds, who the ones that are actually worth 338 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 1: throwing the dar down Staffords two thousand and one. They 339 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: actually said, okay, I like that. Yeah, my Homes is 340 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: actually five to one. He's the lowest odds. So a 341 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: lot of people just you know, hey, what's just vote 342 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: from us? I mean he's the leader and that's that's 343 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: a safe bet, but doesn't mean that that's gonna if 344 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: you had to bet one or the other you get 345 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: my homes or the field, would you take the field? No? 346 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: I don't think I would either, So five under one 347 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: might be a pretty good bet. Maybe two and a 348 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: half the one, or you know what I mean. Of 349 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: course he could get injured, but boy, he's a hard 350 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: one to unseen. Even if he plays fourteen games this 351 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: year and they win thirteen or whatever. Right, offensive Player 352 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: of the Year, this is a little different. The leader 353 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: with five votes was Christian McCaffrey. I guess I mean 354 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: first pick and fantasy drafts is kind of how I 355 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: think about that award. Josh Allen and Nick Chubb were 356 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: both tied with four votes each. Yeah, Trubb might qualify. 357 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it like a running back that 358 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: doesn't catch a ton, and I didn't want to say 359 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: Henry Trubb would makes some sense if if they win 360 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: twelve thirteen games and he's the Russian leader, you know. 361 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers tied for fourth with three votes each. 362 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: I almost feel like, what quarterbacks shouldn't qualify? Yeah, I mean, 363 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna consider and basically the m v 364 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: P Award as a quarterback away exactly whatever, And then 365 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: the Offensive Player of the year should be everybody else. 366 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: Then you have one vote each for these guys, Davante Adams, 367 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, Justin Herbert, Alvin Kamara, 368 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott, and Darren Waller. Guess who voted 369 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: for Darren Waller, car David Carr. Yeah, each should that 370 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: can votes either. And you could even just to say 371 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: because you're related, you're out for you don't get is 372 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: out of the league. I mean, I was sitting there 373 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: thinking about receivers. I mean, the first three receivers in 374 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: fantasy are Digs, Adams, Tyreek, but all their quarterbacks are 375 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: going to trump him. I mean, like those receivers have 376 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: no chance to win them the ward like real quick 377 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: with the type like first of all tight ends. I 378 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: don't believe ever won this one, I don't think. And 379 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: if you're gonna put a tight end on there, why 380 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: would't you put Travis Kelsey? Like yeah, I mean Kelsey 381 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: would make some sense, but to ma Homes will try, 382 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: I mean maybe Mahomes is m v P and Kelsey's 383 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: player of the Year or whatever, that maybe maybe would happen. 384 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: What about like an A. J. Brown though, I mean 385 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: I bet he's a real I mean, if somebody tough 386 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: for him on a team with Derrick Henry though that 387 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: to win because Henry still probably you know, eighteen hundred 388 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: yards or something like that, and probably Samestream Minnesota. I mean, 389 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: with the driving force, it's like it's tough for receivers 390 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: because if the receiver had success, that means the quarterback 391 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: was having a success unless they got injured. So you 392 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: look at a guy like well, DK Metcalf just could 393 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: score nineteen touchdowns this year, he could, yeah, in seventeen games, 394 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: but that would also mean that Russell Wilson probably through 395 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: nineteen of those and he'll have another nineteen to the 396 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: other guys on the roster and throw almost forty touchdown. 397 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: That's why I picked Brown and Jefferson. I just can't 398 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: see Tannehill or Cousins being an award went. Speaking of which, 399 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson hasn't been mentioned in either one of these lists. Right, 400 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: he got one? He got one vote for m v P. Yeah, like, 401 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: how can Russell Wilson not you know, if you're gonna 402 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: vote for some of these other justin Herbert gott to 403 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: vote and Russell Wilson did not Russell Wilson got an 404 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: MVP vote. Whatever Wilson odds are, I would put a 405 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: buck on. I think um Defensive Player of the Year, 406 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: this one we have some interest here in Pittsburgh. Getting 407 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: ten votes was Myles Garrett. I'm on, I'm on board 408 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: of that. Tied for second Aaron Donald and t J. 409 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: Watt was six most Garretts number one. Okay, Donald ten 410 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: votes and the other guys he's six to one. Donald's 411 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: foe Watt is six fifty two one as well. I 412 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: feel Donald's almost like the homes arguing like the field 413 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: pure chalky. I would take Donald's now over thirty. I 414 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: think I would take the field in that situation. I 415 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: think I would do with that one as opposed to 416 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: the home situation. Plus, people get tired of in this 417 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: award the same guy. If him and TJ are tied again, 418 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: they'll give it the DJ, you know what I mean. 419 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: Same with Garrett, who doesn't have one. I got no 420 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: karalm with Garrett's being above what because if their defense 421 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: is great, I mean, he's the driving force of the 422 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: defense more so than why. I just don't know that 423 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: their defense is gonna be great with people, the people 424 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: who are ranking. He said that Browns are gonna have 425 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: a top ten defense. I don't see that are putting 426 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: the cart before the horse. But if the speaking like 427 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: like the aforementioned Adam Shine put out an article about 428 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: three weeks ago the top nine d because he always 429 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: does nine top nine defenses in the league, had the 430 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 1: Browns in there and didn't have the Steelers in there. 431 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: That you're a moron, Adam Shine, You are a moron. 432 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: I like what they're doing on defense, but like, they'll 433 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: be fortunate if they're a top fifteen defense. To Fansky, 434 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: if you'd switch defenses with its field, yeah, of course 435 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: you would. Um. I guess what I should have said 436 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 1: about Garrett though, is if they win, Let's say they 437 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: win the division, win ends defenses, middle of the road, 438 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: and he's got fourteen sacks, he's got a good shot. 439 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: He's got a shot. Yeah. Team success will help him. Yeah. 440 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: Um how about this one? Derwin James one get three votes? 441 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: I don't hate it, boast that would be somebody would 442 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: consider on that defense too. Didn't get a vote, didn't 443 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: get a vote. It's a guy that's good. Here's the thing, 444 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: it's a defensive player of the year is all about 445 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: the stats for interceptions. Is Derwin James gonna get enough 446 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: sackson or in a interceptions to win Defensive Player of 447 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: the Year, because to me, tackles should make a factor 448 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: into the equation. There's not many true linebackers that win 449 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: that award anymore. Like I don't know if safety right 450 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: right or safety a box safety type guy. It is 451 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: hard to Yeah, usually it's a pass rusher or Gilmore 452 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: that was a number one corner you know, who lead 453 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: the lead the league. Interceptions that you with. You know, 454 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: if you get it, you know, seven eight, nine interceptions, 455 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: you got a shot. I think there's only been six 456 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: or seven corners they wanted. It's going back to Melblane. 457 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: It's tough, Yeah, it is because people don't throw it. Yeah. Absolutely, 458 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get many opportunities. Fifth is Chase Young 459 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: with two votes. He's plus six put all that. Yeah, 460 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: I mean we might look at and be like, oh, 461 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: that's the best offensive player in the league. He gets 462 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: a little better with his technique and things. Tied for 463 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: tied for six Chris Jones and Jalen Ramsey. Chris Jones 464 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: is plus five thousand. Jalen Ramsey Ramsey plus three thousand. 465 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think. Yeah, I don't think 466 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: Ramsey can do it because nobody's gonna throw at him. No. 467 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they use him in a lot of ways, 468 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: but he won't put the numbers Chris Jones. The only 469 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: way Ramsey could do it is if if he goes 470 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: out and just completely shuts down the other team's opposing 471 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: number one receiver every week m v P, and then 472 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: and that season goes awesome for them, and that's the 473 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: best defense in the league. Maybe yeah, But then wouldn't 474 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: Donald want it? And Donald? Yeah, Donald have to miss 475 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: five games. I don't see Chris Jones be get like 476 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: stop on the defensive tackle too. It really is. At 477 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: least it's a high profile team that should lead a lot. 478 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: But what's he have to do. Is he gonna get 479 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: fifteen sacks? He's never got anywhere near that. No, that's 480 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,239 Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean, it's like, because you double him 481 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: on that guy like Cam, then the rest of their 482 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: guys are just kinda I know they got Frank Clark, 483 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: but he's just a guy at this point, right, And 484 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: as great as Chris Jones is, he's more fletcherck Cox 485 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: in his prime than he is Donald where the double 486 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: teams didn't don't slow Donald down, but he makes everyone 487 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: else better. Offensive Rookie of the Year, Justin Field's got 488 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 1: the most votes was seven. I don't know what he's 489 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna play, he's not even starting and he's never really 490 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: difficult situation. Wow. Yeah, I'm extremely biased, but nause is 491 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: my pick there He's plus seven d Zack Wilson is 492 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: second with five votes at plus seven hundred. If you 493 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: win five games, though, can you win Brookie of the Year. No, 494 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't think. Well, well, then again they Herbert didn't 495 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: last year and they won six. Yeah, Baker didn't win 496 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: a time his year. I mean quarterbacks always get the nod. 497 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: There tied for third, and I think these two are 498 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: actually the front runners to me are Nausea Harris and 499 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I mean Lawrence is the front runner now, 500 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: no matter what I mean. He's on the tip everyone's tongue. 501 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna win every tie. Can Kyle Pitts win it? 502 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: He got three votes. There's there's three three guys, three 503 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: guys tied for fifth. It's Mac Jones. Oh, he we 504 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: know he's starting Lance another one who's not starting on 505 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts tight end has never won on it. Yeah, 506 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: I mean, but he could. He's maybe the exception of 507 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: the rule. You know, we draft him high in fantasy. 508 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he could have very impressive number. But only 509 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: one of the rookie running backs made the list. Obviously 510 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: Travis at And has hurt, but Williams isn't the guaranteed 511 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: starter at the moment. Sermon, you can't put in there. 512 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: But they're doing it with the quarterbacks. There's quarterbacks on 513 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: here who aren't starters on their team yet and they're 514 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: already on this list. But like, I don't think Devonte 515 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: Smith or Attle or Chase I don't like their odds. 516 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: I really think Harris has a great shot too. I mean, 517 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: there'll be a quarterback or two that has a good year, 518 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But what if Lancer Fields has a 519 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: good year but they don't start till Week five? Can 520 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: you put him again ahead of a running back in 521 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: his twelve hundred rushing yards? That was actually my problem 522 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: with the year Baker wanted over sa Kwan. Yeah, it 523 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: was a lot of it was second half of the season, 524 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: played games, Yeah, real quick defensive Rookie of the Year. Uh, 525 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: Michael Parson's got fifteen votes, easily the runaway winner there. Well, 526 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm not easily because Patrick Certaine got eleven. Corners are tough, Yeah, 527 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: corners are tough. Jamie Davis, Trevor Muri, Joe try On 528 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: showenka is He's They all got one vote each. The 529 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: two that I put money on considering where they're apparently 530 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: ranked is Jamie Davis And the name he didn't mention 531 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: is Jalen Phillips for the for the Dolphins as an 532 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: edge rusher eight ten sacks. I mean, I think he's 533 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: a really good prospect that is in a good defense, 534 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: rushes the past for a while. Um, I don't think 535 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: Parsons will do it that defense. He's very erratic. I 536 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: don't know how much hard knocks you've watched, but I 537 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: did have not endeared me to the Parsons crew. He's 538 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: plus six hundred, so he is the the leader there. 539 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: But I get a bad defensive rookie class. Yeah, even 540 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: a quitty pay there's been good buzz about him, will 541 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: play a lot. You know, there'll be some rookie corner 542 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: who gets some playing time that picks off because everybody's 543 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: gonna throw. He'll have five interceptions though he's the rookie's 544 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: defensive rookie the year. Yeah, and I would definitely not 545 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: I would definitely take the field over Parsons. Yeah, without question. 546 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for the show. So former partner 547 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson for Jacob rect here on site keeping us 548 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: on the air. I'm Dale Lelly.
