1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Little technical difficulty there for the

3
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Jacob Brick studios here getting the hang of thing. I

4
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: think he just launched the missiles. These studios are nice

5
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: by the way they are. They are. They're growing on

6
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: me quickly. It's time for the power rankings here and

7
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: uh well, we'll take a look here at Dan Hansas

8
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Power Rankings as we do every every week, and the

9
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: number thirty two is the Jacksonville Jaguars. They've earned this.

10
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: They lost the Jets. Yeah, there was rowing into the

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: end zone though at the end. Yeah, with an opportunity

12
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: to win, and they didn't. Robinson got hurt. I always

13
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: hate that late season injuries. You know, people don't think

14
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: about like I'll be back next year, Like I don't know, Achilles,

15
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: you know what for running back on a worthless team,

16
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I know injuries happened no matter what,

17
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: But I feel bad for the kid. I mean, he's

18
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent who's done really really good. A

19
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: t N may be the starter and we may never

20
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: hear from again, you know what I mean? And three

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: years from now he'll prop up a crop up on

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: somebody else's roster. Remember this guy's kind good, right, you know,

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Or if it's Chilles, doesn't heal quite right and he

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: doesn't make much money even though he was really good.

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, this terrible league sometimes it is. Uh,

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: speaking of the Jaguars, they are set to start interviewing

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: guy play guys here. Oh yeah, that can happen now. Yeah,

28
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a Byron Leftwich, Todd Bowles make

29
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, Yeah, Kellen Moore, Dan Quinn, Matt Eberflis,

30
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: he's the Colts defensive Yeah, and then Green Bay Packers

31
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Uh. It also looks like they

32
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: want to talk to uh, Doug Peterson, um, Jim Calbwell, uh,

33
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: there's no absolutely left which it needs to me seems

34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: like the leader in the clubhouse. But a good question

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: here on that. Let me let me ask you this question.

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: So if Byron left Which gets a head coaching job,

37
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: does he then count as part of Mike Tomlin's treebel

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: count is that's gonna be That's my argument about that,

39
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: because when people mentioned Mike Rabel, they say he's part

40
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: of the Belichick tree. I think that counts. You learned

41
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: much of your stuff from these guys. You know, you

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't be where you were without them. That's that's kind

43
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: of my where I'm where I was going with that

44
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: because everybody wants because I always say, well, Rabel can't count.

45
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: Rabel never coached under right, she was not a Belichick coach,

46
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: and he maybe has been the most successful of the disciples.

47
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: Might be of those guys haven't done great. I mean,

48
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: it's needless to say. And I think Rabel's my coaching

49
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: day of the week. So that's that was my question

50
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: that one. So yeah, I think I counts. Yeah, all right,

51
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: if Rabel's gonna count for Belichick, and then the same

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: thing left, which should count. I also think Arian should

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: count for Tomlin. Yeah he should because everybody so what

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: he inherited him from Cower. Yeah, but he made him.

55
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: He made him the offensive coordinator too. He was a

56
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver's catch on the tower. He made recognize that

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: this guy is a good coach. Yeah, I didn't even

58
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: think of that so long ago. But right, I mean,

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: most times when the head coach comes and they fire everybody, right,

60
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: he must like you guys. Right about at thirty one

61
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: or the Giants. They're terrible. They're awful. They're really really bad.

62
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Barkley ran the ball. I don't have the

63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: box score in front of me, but he ran the

64
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: ball like fifteen times for thirty two yards. Jake from

65
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: through like thirty passes for twenty five yards. I mean,

66
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: they're a line stings. They're wasting all these good skills.

67
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: He was six of seventeen for twenty five yards and

68
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: with an interception, and how was it only one? Right,

69
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: They're really in a bad place right now. And they

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: announced yesterday they're bringing back. We're bringing them all back.

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: We don't see any problems there. Right, They're losing his

72
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: franchise in the last five years at thirty. How the

73
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Mighty have fallen? Are the Carolina Panthers. They're miserable too,

74
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: they really are. They were like five and three at

75
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: one point, weren't they, right, They were playing pretty good.

76
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean Sam Donald was doing well in that first

77
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: month or so untill he wasn't untill he wasn't. And

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: my problem with them is they are like our cat

79
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: that sees a shiny thing and has to go get that, Like, well,

80
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: let's go get Newton let's go get Gilmore. Let's fire

81
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: off in ordinary reactionary team. Yeah right, this is the

82
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: argument about about why your team shouldn't be a reactionary team.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: Exactly right. You can't just go grabbing things and using

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Well the fans say this, we should go. Well, we

85
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: need to. We need to get the fans behind us again. Here,

86
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: let's go sign Cam Newton. Yeah. Absolutely, Like they're just

87
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: like throwing darts and I don't see a plan. No,

88
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't either. At twenty nine, up two spots the

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Real quick though on the Panthers, because

90
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: they're so reactionary they might be the team. Like I'll

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: give you fifty first round picks for DeShawn Watson. You know, yeah,

92
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: whatever done, Yeah, good luck with that. Two spots for

93
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: the Jets. They they won a game, Wilson wasn't horrible. Yeah.

94
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Down a spot are the Detroit Lions. There's still a

95
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: quick I can't bang him for the start with losing

96
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: a game with Tim Boyle. Exactly right. I mean they're

97
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: hard to play against at this point. They actually gonna

98
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: get swift back and st Brown's a dude and they

99
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: play hard. Brown's fantasy stud yeah, he really is up

100
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: two spots the Houston Texas Houston Better Bean I mentioned

101
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: pretty soon. I mean, I know the college should get

102
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: like coaching the year votes. I actually said that on

103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: today's podcast. It's I can't believe you just said that,

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: because I said, let's give his coaching staff some credit.

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: Like we all laughed at their roster construction of we're

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna sign all these one year deals of NFL players,

107
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: but Land of the misfit toys, you know. I mean

108
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: this is you can get guys like that and they

109
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: can come in and can try they fight like crazy

110
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: for seventeen weeks because they're a free agency. They know

111
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the year they're get there. They're

112
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 1: they're either getting promoted or they're gonna be on the couch,

113
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, like, so that team is still

114
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: playing hard and it goes back to the off season

115
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: of their plan. You're building a little bit of a culture.

116
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: Their winnings. Okay, we're not trying to tank. Davis Mills

117
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: doesn't stink by the way, No, No, I mean he

118
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: might be their starter in a week. One liked him

119
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: coming out last year. He just wasn't one of the

120
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: top guys, you just have a he didn't have a

121
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: huge resume in college. No, he was hurt a lot,

122
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: didn't have many games right down four spots. The Washington

123
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: football team, they're a disaster. I felt bad for them

124
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: actually because what they played Tuesday. Everyone in the world's

125
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: on COVID. You weren't even sure their starter is gonna

126
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: be three hours before the game at quarterback. Gibson gets hurt.

127
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: In the game, you're losing forty two to nothing before

128
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: you know it, gets steamrolled by a team that's peaking.

129
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: They're bad. Don't get me, it's it's it was almost

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: it was very tho that game. In the Cincinnati Baltimore game,

131
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: We're you're playing a division rival and they're just gonna

132
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: rub your notes and they're not gonna not gonna let

133
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: you forget it. Right, Yeah, absolutely, But I'm not like

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: suggesting a coaching change in Washington or anything like that.

135
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: I just you know, they have they had problems coming

136
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: into the year, and it's just been exacerbating. No no doubt.

137
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: At down a spot. The Seattle Seahawks, they're pretty bad.

138
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: They're pretty bad. Yeah, I mean they're a bottom tier,

139
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: bottom third of the league. Without a doubt in my mind.

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: At twenty four, up two spots. The Chicago Bears just

141
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: beat Seattle. I'm fine with that. I'm like, Seattle never

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: loses that kind of game. And the Carol Wilson era

143
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: at home with the lead, you know, holding steady. The

144
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Denver broncos m I didn't even have them higher. Tough

145
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: to play against. Yeah, I mean you gotta look at them.

146
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: He didn't kill them. I mean, yeah, I guess that's

147
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: where they belong. Yeah, it's twenty two. I draw a line. No,

148
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Denver's better, clearly better than the teams I would take.

149
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: I would take them ahead of this team. It's twenty

150
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: two of the Atlanta Falcons. Oh yeah, they've beat nobody

151
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: at They got seven wins this year against every team

152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: that's below them on these rankings. Oh, I think Chicago

153
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: and Seattle are better than Atlanta. Yeah, yeah, they're They're

154
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: they're four or five spots too high. They don't do anything, well, nothing,

155
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing. It's red. It's twenty one down a spot.

156
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: The Saints as currently constructed, they have to win, and

157
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: they did against Tampa Bay right right now exactly. I mean,

158
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: their defense is great. They don't have any weapons when

159
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: they're healthy. Now they don't have any lineman or quarterbacks. Yeah,

160
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a problem. It's a problem. It's twenty down two

161
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: spots and they're still in the playoff. The SIF at

162
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: twenty down two spots are the Steelers. I'm probably fine

163
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: with that based on how they played last week. Yeah,

164
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: they're not on the road this week. Now, now that

165
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: this week they're at home, so the defense will show up.

166
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: The defense has showed up at home and hasn't shown

167
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: up on the road. That's been the problem. Yeah, I

168
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: don't know if that's just a small sample size thing.

169
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: I hate when people ask you that stuff on the air,

170
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: like why aren't they good on the road, Like, I

171
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know. Part of the seal. Again, it goes back

172
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: to our conversation in the previous segment. The offense has

173
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: been awful on the road, putting too much pressure on

174
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: the defense. Uh. At nineteen down three spots, I see,

175
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: I still have the Steelers ahead of these guys, the

176
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. They're bad, I said after the Steelers be

177
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, they will not win another game, and they're

178
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: not going to win another game. I did a video

179
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: for the Steelers dot com yesterday and we were kind

180
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: of talking about the division and boy the Steelers look

181
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: and all the things you would expect to say. I'm like,

182
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: if this was a video for Ravens dot com or

183
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: even Brown's dot com, we'd have the same tone. I

184
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: just want people to realize that usually different. So, Okay,

185
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: maybe I haven't heard anything out of Baltimore. I think

186
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: they're taught. Well, we're missing all these guys. Can we

187
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: excuse that away a little? Cleveland, they're still talking about

188
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: they have a chance. Well, I guess they can still

189
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: win the division. They can't. I mean, they're not good

190
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: enough my opinion. They have to win both, and I

191
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: think since he has, they have to lose both. They

192
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: have to beat since he I mean, at least there's

193
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of optimism there that we got over

194
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: the COVID nightmare. How are they How are they in

195
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: any different spot than the Steelers are in right now?

196
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I think they're all all three of these teams the

197
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: same to me. Yeah, But yet the optimism coming out

198
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: of Cleveland versus the pessimism coming out of Pittsburgh is

199
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: completely opposite. You know, By the way, the Browns win.

200
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: As we say in the in the in the in

201
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: the business, went all in. I'm winning this year. Yeah yeah,

202
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, couldn't have taken different offseason approaches to where

203
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: or their perspective franchise as were, you know, and now

204
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: they may have peaked in a way. You know. Um,

205
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that the Browns would not have

206
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: done well against the Chiefs on Sunday. They would not

207
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: know it would have gotten smile. It would have been

208
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: just as bad. Yeah, it really would have. And the

209
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Ravens would have lost just as bad. I mean, my

210
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: homes could have thrown for seven yards in that game

211
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: against him. What if they used Tyreek against that secondary

212
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: the old day? Yeah uh at eighteen down three spots

213
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, they're in a pretty rough spot too.

214
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, no Cook feeling got hurt again. Cousins is

215
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: what he is, the defense is Okay, they're just like

216
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: the Cousins Is turned back into a pumpkin. Yeah a

217
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: little bit. They're just the most middling team for what

218
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: like the last five years. There's been some takas him

219
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: or maybe moving on or parting ways mutually. And I

220
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: guess I could see that a shakeup might not hurt

221
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: that team. Okay, I get a problem with this. It's

222
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: seventeen holding steady are the Cleveland Browns. I would put

223
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings over all three of the a F North teams, Yes,

224
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean really, Ravens, Brown, Steelers, to me, is all

225
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: the same. Put a blanket over all them, because they're

226
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: all on the same boat right now. They've all had

227
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: they're all on equal struggling, losing, whatever you want to

228
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: call it. That problem. But if they played a round

229
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: robin tournament, I think they'll all be five. Yeah. I

230
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: mean the Browns were three and one to open a season,

231
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: which means they're there are four and seven since and

232
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: you still have them at seventeen. I don't care that

233
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: you almost won, you didn't win. Baker is bad. He's awful.

234
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: Four interceptions and he could have had six, and I

235
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: think we have I think we're remiss if we don't

236
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: say he's been fighting eight thousand injuries in COVID and

237
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: all those things. But what you do and what he's

238
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: done this year is really bad. Trocious, trocious. It's sixteen

239
00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: up five spots the Raiders. Mhm. I can't buy any

240
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: buying that at all. I give them some credit for

241
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: still being afloat considering, but they also get gifts like

242
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers too, and all these teams that no one

243
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: can run away with the positions in the a f C.

244
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Who They have a tough game this week, don't they.

245
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: They play the Colts without Wentz made, potentially without wins.

246
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: They're getting some breaks maybe, but then I think they

247
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think they finish against the Chargers

248
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: and what could be a winner gets in. It could be.

249
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me they're still alive. But I don't

250
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: think they could beat anybody. They could lose anybody. They

251
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: can't beat anybody, but they can certainly lose it anybody.

252
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Browns are better than them,

253
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: are they didn't they just beat them? All these teams

254
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: the same, I mean face issues, right, All these teams

255
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: we've talked about the last three minutes, in the next

256
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: three minutes are all the same. And the Steelers are

257
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: one of them. They're not horrible, they're not great. They

258
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: all got different holes, but they've all got holes. But

259
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: there's twelve teams that are all on the same boat,

260
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: and it's a rocky boat at fifteen up four spots.

261
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: The Eagles, they should be better than all the teams mentioned.

262
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: They're playing well, they control the line of scrimmage, they're

263
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: very limited, they have to play a certain way. Okay,

264
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: they've just beaten they they've beaten them, Washington and the Giants.

265
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: That's the other part of this, this whole equation. Who

266
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: if some of these teams beat We know, we talked.

267
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: I've tried to remind people that this week we're going

268
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: into the season. All I heard all off season was

269
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: that the Steelers have the hardest schedule in the league.

270
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about that. Now now you're saying they have

271
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: no coaching. The coaching stinks, the players stink, but nobody mentions, Yeah,

272
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: nobody mentions that they played. Oh, by the way, what

273
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: you're all we're talking about in the off season. It's

274
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: the hardest schedule, and yet there's seven seven and one

275
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and they actually have some quality wins like these things. Yeah,

276
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: those are all true. There are some really had losses.

277
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm not sugarcoating that at all. Sunday was one of them,

278
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: without question. But you know, they've overcome some things too

279
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: to even be relevant. Yeah, the fact that there are

280
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: two games left in a season and they still got

281
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: a shot. Yeah, you know, they don't have a shot.

282
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: In Detroit, they don't have a shot. You know a

283
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: lot of these places. What team did you just mentioned

284
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: there again? The Eagles? I mean that game was three

285
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: three at the half and I don't remember if it's

286
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: from or Glenn and threw him a pick six and

287
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: they were in away with it. And they're much better

288
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: than the Giants. But you're right, I mean, are they

289
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: They're not a you know, complete football team any stretch.

290
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll be the seventh seed, but they have

291
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: to play a certain way. They have lines at fourteen.

292
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: A great example is if you have too good right

293
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: you can, you're gonna be competitive at fourteen. Down four

294
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: spots are the Chargers. They might be the biggest jack

295
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: on on hide team. You watch them one week and

296
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: you go, boy, that team is really good. Then you

297
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: watch them the next week you go, oh my god,

298
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: they could lose any I don't have a problem with Staley.

299
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's a lot of strong opinions

300
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: on him because he goes word on fourth or doesn't

301
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: or all these things, But he was hired because he

302
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: was very innovative with the Rams defense last year, too high.

303
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna defend the run with less, We're gonna play

304
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: gap and a half. He doesn't have close to the

305
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: guys to do that, so you can't keep playing that

306
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: same system and the in l a well with the Rams,

307
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: he had Ramsey and Donald and they yeah they were studs.

308
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Well this past week they didn't have Bosa or James

309
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: and it looked like me and you out there. They

310
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: got their defensive line just gets pushed around. They got

311
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: They just lose to the Texans smoke right, Yeah, I

312
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: mean they use that game ten on at tend time

313
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: by a team that had been averaging about four team

314
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: points a game. Rex Birkhead runs for over Yes, exactly.

315
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: That's not good lanes like Steelers versus Viking lanes. Bad. Um, Yeah,

316
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: that's that's not you know, a great running back taking advantage.

317
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: That is just you being awful. Yeah, I mean it's

318
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: a flawed defense right now. That's the part you know

319
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: when when people talk about coaching and you hear Mike

320
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: Tomlins say this one all the time. If you have

321
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: read paint, you paint the barn or red. Right, they're

322
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: painting the green. They're painting a green with red paint, right,

323
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: and the next year green might look fine, but it's

324
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: the wrong color for this year. That's part of coaching.

325
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: Thirteen down two spots. Yeah, I'm a little excited to

326
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: watch Lands, so it sounds like Jimmy's miss sometimes. I

327
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: don't know that they're going to be real excited in

328
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: a playoff type atmosphere. I mean, I think they're gonna

329
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: get in pretty much no matter what. I guess they

330
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: could lose both. They could lose both. Lands is terrible.

331
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: They play Houston this week. Houston doesn't give up. Yeah,

332
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's about where would have the Niners, though

333
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. It's twelve up

334
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 1: a spot the Dolphins. The biggest fraud of this season,

335
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. But that's where they belong, that's all. Yeah,

336
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: they're eight and seven. Good for them, they've won seven

337
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: in a row. But I think they're in apps. I

338
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: think the Titans, and I don't think much of the Titans,

339
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: but I think they smoked him this week. I think

340
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: the Titans turned a corner. Yeah, you know, getting a

341
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: j Brown back makes them And you were right about that.

342
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: I'll give full credit. You were right to A. J. Brown.

343
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: We had a fantasy segment last week. You said, no,

344
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: you plug them in. I didn't think I was right

345
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: at halftime though, watching didn't look like it look rusty

346
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: and didn't look like and all of a sudden, they said,

347
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: we're just gonna We're gonna throw every pass to A J. Brown.

348
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: I didn't throw the ball to anybody else. Speaking of

349
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Brown's that's we had the same conversation with A B. Two.

350
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: It was the same thing, and threw him a million

351
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: passes and then he had he had like fifteen targets.

352
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Nobody else had more than three, right right, Yeah, that's

353
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: all he got. Um, so there are twelve might bet

354
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins this week. That's not a bad call.

355
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what the line is or all any

356
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: of that stuff, but I'm sure their defense is really good.

357
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be close because even though Tennessee's at home,

358
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: they're still Oh they're they're the hot team. He might

359
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: be a favorite. Uh, Tennessee is a number eleven. They're

360
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: up three spots. Good. I mean I think they're I

361
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: don't say they're back defense. Yeah, they're a tough minded

362
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: team too. It ten down five spots. The Arizona Cardinals,

363
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: they're in trouble. They're a little bit in trouble. I

364
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: mean they're gone. They're right for the picking and he

365
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: first rounded the NFC playoffs. They're very simplistic on both

366
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, which I think reflects poorly on

367
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: Kingsbury at this point, you know, Like I mean, if

368
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: we have a vote for for Coach of the Year

369
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: a month ago, it's probably Cliff Kingsbury. Maybe maybe, but

370
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: this is two years Brandon Staley, they're both in the conversation,

371
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: not anymore anymore. I mean, they've had some big things

372
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: go wrong, but like Hudson and Hopkins and those guys

373
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: being out, it's just made this look as function almost.

374
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: It's the problem when you have old guys, it's probably

375
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: old you know, they do get hurt and then they

376
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: take longer to come back. And this is two years

377
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: in a row that they've crumbled when it matters most. Yeah,

378
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: and we'll get to the Chiefs. But the fact that

379
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is one twenty two straight games in November

380
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: and December isn't the fluke. It's harder to win now

381
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: than it is in September, and there's an art to it,

382
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: and some of these coaches aren't there yet. Uh at

383
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: nine up three spots the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm fine with

384
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: that great matchup against Baltimore though, too, because they had

385
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: no answer for I mean, that was that was the

386
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: slam dunk when I saw I think, I think Burrow

387
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: was like, we'll talk about in the next segment over

388
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: my my fantasy lineup. He was like or something like

389
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: it was really under price for what you know. He

390
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm like, oh, fired up. I know

391
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people made money on Bengals and and

392
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: like the Barkheads and Jackson's I didn't even start I

393
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: didn't even start Higgins. I started Chase. I paired him

394
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: with Chase and even that worked. It didn't matter which

395
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: It didn't matter which receiver you went with on the

396
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: Bengals because the Ravens couldn't cover any of them. The

397
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: thing that people didn't maybe notice in that game the

398
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Ravens only ran for like fifty yards, Like they're running

399
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: game is now broke. You know, they have other issues,

400
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: but now they're not running ball at all. They've got

401
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of and then winking Martindale. You know. Just

402
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: he was asked after the game, um about the performance

403
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: that Borrow put up. He says people shouldn't rush to

404
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: buy a gold jacket for him. Yeah. Yeah, he just

405
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: got lit up. He just got lit up. Yeah. How

406
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: about Josh Johnson, though, I think he has like the

407
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: most amazing career I've ever unbelievable. He's thirty five years old,

408
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: including XFL and whatever other leagues he's been with, and

409
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: if you count the same teams twice, he's been on

410
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: twenty two football teams and never has been terrible. I

411
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: think Zach Taylor said that he was Josh Johnson was

412
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: a year ahead of him in college or year behind

413
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: him in college. That's about right. That's insane, right. This

414
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: guy's had a pretty decent career. They picked him up

415
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: like three days ago and he was, okay, you know

416
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: it's for a while. I mean yeah, I mean, I mean,

417
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: what do you specs? But oh no, doubt eight down

418
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: a spot. Patriots, Patriots, and say it's some time soon too.

419
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: They can't stop the run either. They can't stop the run.

420
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I like how they're built, being very big and physical,

421
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: but their linebackers look slow against they can't Isaiah Mackenzie's

422
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: and crossing Knoxes and those type of chasing after Alan.

423
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: And I'm higher on Mac Jones than you, but I

424
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: certainly will concede that he I mean, he's not gonna

425
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: win a dual against Josh Allen, you know what I mean?

426
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: He is. My problem with My problem with Mac Jones

427
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: is that he's a game manager. I wouldn't have used

428
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick on a game style of

429
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and I undn't get that. For him to be

430
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: really effective, he has to be unbelievably accurate, and right

431
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: now he's just pretty accurate. Yeah, I'm sure his body

432
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: is failing him a little bit and it's just not

433
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: much room for error. They don't have great receivers. Their

434
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: receivers thing, Yeah, I mean, they've spent a lot of

435
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: money on give them. I mean they they've been looking

436
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: for a number one receiver forever and they don't have anything.

437
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: You can draft one, No, they can't. Uh, it's seven

438
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: up two spots. The Buffalo Bills. I might put them higher,

439
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: but I mean I understand who's ahead of them. They're

440
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: they're playing pretty darn well. Right now. Alan's a stud. Yeah, oh,

441
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah. Uh, it's six up two spots. The

442
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys are Bills are Cowboys, Dallas. I think Dallas is

443
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: these better. I think they have a running game if

444
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: they need it. But the same conversation, it's definitely a conversation.

445
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: I think. I think the Bill is not having Tradavious

446
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: White hurts. Yeah, it does. The thing I liked about

447
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: Dallas was not that they just destroyed Washington, but that

448
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: looked like that again, and he hasn't for about six

449
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: weeks or so. That Calf at five up a spot.

450
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: The Colts, Yeah, I mean I get it, and I

451
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: respect them, and we're assuming Whence is part of this.

452
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: But I think I would pick the Bills and Cowboys

453
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: over the Colts just because the receivers. Yeah, I mean,

454
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: I like Pittman, but it's all they got. If they

455
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: gets into we gotta keep up in first one to

456
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: thirty wins. I don't think they're gonna win that game.

457
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: They did find a way to win last week without

458
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: an offensive line, without Jonathan Taylor scoring. I mean, he

459
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: had a good game, but not the you know, the

460
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: most four replacement offensive linement in that game at four,

461
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: down a spot the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They're a little

462
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: bit up, yeah, but when they handle business, I guess

463
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: a bad Panthers team and rushed the pass. Would you

464
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: would you put? I know they just played a couple

465
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: of weeks ago and the Bills barely lost them as

466
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: constructive right now are the Bill is a better football

467
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: team probably with the Bucks. Receiver injuries and running back

468
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: injuries were not important. Windfield you know, didn't play. Um

469
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: you know Lavante david Is. They got some guys who

470
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: are out that are massive. They are. It's a pretty

471
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: good team though. I mean, they got a lot nine

472
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: and they're well coached obviously, and Marian's went on the

473
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: COVID list. To me, by the way, three up up

474
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: a spot at number three of the Bruce. I don't

475
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: know what he does anymore anyway, I'm not sure. I'm

476
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: sure Tom will be just fine without him. And to

477
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: Drinker in chief. When we just talked about the two coordinators,

478
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: they're up for head coaching jobs. I mean, I think

479
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: they'll handle their sides of the ball just fine. Uh.

480
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: At three of the Rams, it's a lot better Stafford

481
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: stunk this week, by the way when they one in

482
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: spite of a bad stafford outing, Yeah, Sakers is back. Yeah,

483
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: but usually Henderson. Henderson's on the irm, So Sonny Michelle

484
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: looks yeah, solid at him. Wrong, They're gonna suddenly you

485
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: run out of acres for carries. The Chiefs are at two,

486
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: the Packers are at one. Can ye, no complaints? Yeah,

487
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: it's all a group. I think there's like a half

488
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: a dozen teams that are contenders. What are the what

489
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: are the teams in that top ten? Have quarterback? Quarterback? Yeah,

490
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: it's quarterback season. You can get away with it for

491
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: a while. You can get into the end of you

492
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: can get in the playoffs. But man, I mean it's

493
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: a haves or have not world At some points you

494
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: better have a quarterback. Ye. It just makes all your

495
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: problems go away. Again, I'm not killing Ben, but if

496
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: they would have, you know who the best example is.

497
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to pick my homes, but the tenth

498
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league. All of a sudden, the

499
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: line looks a lot better, the running game has a

500
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: lot more room. You know, there's just such a ripple effect.

501
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: It really is, no doubt about it. But we're gonna

502
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: take another break when we come back at his time

503
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Football Focus. He is Matt Williamson. I
