1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: week on the show Enjoy.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: After trading for Logan Wilson, Dallas followed up by trading

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: a Hall first in a second I believe for Quentinn Williams. Yep,

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones is talking about how he wants to win

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: now because of his age. Doesn't kind of seem like

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: their season is already over.

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Well, their season's definitely already over. And I explained this

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: in short form on TV, but I am going to

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: lay it out further here. They barely barely got more

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: for Micah Parsons than they traded away for Quentin Williams.

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: So let's do the actual accounting of what the Cowboys

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: got for Micah Parsons. Okay, they got the next two

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Packer first round picks, which we obviously don't know what

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: picks those will be. But this year, the Packers right

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: now have the twenty fourth pick of the draft. It

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: would you know, it could go up if they go

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: on a real playoff run. It could go down if

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: they get bounced in round one. But that's what they have.

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: And then next year's Packers' first round pick, and they

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: got Kenny Clark more on him in a moment. For

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Quinn Williams, they traded away their own second round pick,

24
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: which right now would be the forty sixth pick of

25
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the draft. So again in the Mica trade and Quinn trade,

26
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: they received what would be the twenty fourth pick and

27
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: sent out what would be the forty six next pick,

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: so a twenty two pick jump. Will see how those move,

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: but that's a good framework. And then they will be

30
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: sending out whatever is the better pick between their own

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: first after next season and the Packers first after next season.

32
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: So there is no chance whatsoever none that for the

33
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven first rounder that they receive a better

34
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: pick from the Packers than they give to the Jets,

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: because whatever the better pick is, they give to the Jets.

36
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: And then you add to it that because you have

37
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: traded for quinnin Williams and Oshia Digazua to an extension,

38
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: you almost assuredly are this offseason cutting Kenny Clark. The

39
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: best case scenario for the Cowboys is the different in

40
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: draft compensation they gave up for Quinn Williams compared to

41
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: what they received for Micah Parsons is the equivalent of

42
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: about a third round pick. And the worst case scenario

43
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: is they actually ended up giving up more for Quinn

44
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Williams than they received for Micah Parsons. And you might say,

45
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: how could that be, Well, here's how.

46
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: It could be.

47
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: The Cowboys end up drafting tenth in this year's draft,

48
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: so that'd be second round pick forty two. The Packers

49
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: make it forget even win the Super Bowl, make it

50
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: to the conference championship game, they give up, so they

51
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: give to Dallas' first round pick twenty nine, so that's

52
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: a thirteen pick delta. Next year, the Packers make it

53
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: back to the conference championship game, they give Dallas the

54
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: twenty ninth pick again. And next year Dak Prescott gets hurt.

55
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have a year from hell and they end

56
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: up getting or hell. They just have the same year

57
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: they had this year where Dak doesn't get hurt and

58
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: they but they have a bad year. They have the

59
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: tenth pick of that draft and they give that pick

60
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: to the Jets. It is absolutely on the board that

61
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: what they receive from Green Bay are two picks in

62
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the late twenties, and what they give to the Jets

63
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: is a pick in the low forties and a pick

64
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: in the teams, which is when you are sending out

65
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: a more valuable younger player. Just totally unacceptable. I understand

66
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Quinnin is cheaper than Micah, but that is not enough

67
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: to offset the difference in value of the players impact

68
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: on the field. And so this Cowboys move, even if

69
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Quinn Williams is really good, and I think he is,

70
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: is as baffling of an NFL trade as you'll see

71
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: for years, and it totally goes against demons Jerry's whole take,

72
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: which was trading.

73
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: Micah deft the run, well.

74
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: No, no, no, stop the run part of it. It does

75
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: work in because Corney Williams better at that than Micah,

76
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: but he kept saying we'll be able to get three

77
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: or four players. You got two extra picks for Micah,

78
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: you gave two extra picks up for Quinnin. And again

79
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys agreeing to send the better of the

80
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: two picks they have in the twenty twenty seven draft

81
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: is unfathomable because here's the other piece of it. Let's

82
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: say Jordan Love a year from now gets hurt and

83
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the Packers fall off a cliff in a very difficult.

84
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: NFC North and the Packers have the sixth pick of

85
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: the draft two years from now. You don't get that now.

86
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: That goes to the Jets.

87
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: So it's right in line with everything else that's been

88
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: going on with the Cowboys and Jerry. It makes sense.

89
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense, but it makes sense for Jerry

90
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: to be doing it.

91
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Yes, it's just awful business. Now the Colts piece of

92
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: it is more understandable, but somehow even riskier.

93
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: So go ahead. The Colts are seeming to go all

94
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: in on Daniel Jones. They traded two first rounders to

95
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: get Sauce Gardner. Do you think that this is a

96
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: little bit too earlier for them?

97
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I I respect the guts and unlike the Dallas move,

98
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: you at least see the logic of it. The logic

99
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: of it is, we have our quarterback, we like our team,

100
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: We are trying to win right now, Let's add a

101
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: blue chip player, which Sauce has been at the first

102
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: two years of his career. He has not been the

103
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: last year and a half. But you know, you know,

104
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: he's young, and he's on a cost control deal. You

105
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: believe they obviously believe you can get back to it.

106
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: So that's the logic of it. It is the exact

107
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: same logic that led to the Dolphins trading for Tyreek,

108
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: that led to the Packers trading for Micah. We we

109
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: love our team, think adding one more piece can put

110
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: us over the top. So I understand it. I think

111
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the riskiest moves I have seen a

112
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: team make in ten years. So here are the circumstances

113
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: over the last decade. Demonse that teams have traded away

114
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: multiple first round picks for a player, not during the draft,

115
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: but for an established player. The Chicago Bears traded two

116
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: first round picks for Khalil Mack. They did that one

117
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: year after spending the second pick of the draft on

118
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Mitch Krubisky. They were wrong, but they thought, we've got

119
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: our quarterback, let's go add to the defense. The Rams

120
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: traded two first round picks away for Jalen Ramsey. They

121
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: did that months removed from going to the Super Bowl

122
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: with Golf. They said, we've got our quarterback, let's add

123
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: to the defense. Again. They ended up souring on that quarterback,

124
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: but they believed they had the quarterback. The Jets, I'm sorry.

125
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: The Seahawks traded away two first round picks for Jamal

126
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: Adams in twenty twenty. They believed Russell's you know we're

127
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: gonna be our quarterback long term. Let's go at another

128
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: piece again. That trade was a catastrophe, but they had

129
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: real reason to believe their quarterback was in place. Obviously,

130
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: the Packers traded away two first rounders for Micah and

131
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: I might be leaving one out for the Colts to

132
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: be doing this, not only when it's just been a

133
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: half season of good Daniel Jones, but and this part's

134
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: important to manse, they don't even have Daniel Jones locked

135
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: up on a contract is stunning.

136
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean the Bears go ahead. I mean Daniel like

137
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 2: Daniel could leave or something, or leave them high and

138
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: dry or no.

139
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: But they are now over a barrel on pape.

140
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: Oh, it's ye one percent because when it comes time,

141
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: cap space is already too high.

142
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: That's fair well, and it's it's the it's how are

143
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: you going to replace me? You don't have a first

144
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: round pick this year or next year, and the franchise

145
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: tag number is forty six million dollars.

146
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, I guess strikes me as a team friendly

147
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: type of guy.

148
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I buddy he already got four years one sixty from

149
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: the Giants when they were in this situation. I don't know,

150
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: know like the he the Colts have put themselves in

151
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: a position now where Daniel is gonna get I'll call

152
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: my shout on it right now. Four years, one hundred

153
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: and eighty million dollars forty five million dollars a year.

154
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: And the other piece of it that is wildly risky

155
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: if you're the Colts.

156
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: Is they.

157
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: Even if you believe Daniel Jones is just good bad circumstances,

158
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: bad luck, bad coaching with the Giants, dating back to

159
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: his last year of college, there has been one season

160
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: he was fully healthy. So you are putting all in college.

161
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: He broke his collar bone. In the pros, he's torn

162
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: his acl out, a neck injury, an ankle out, a hamstring.

163
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: You are putting all your eggs in this basket in

164
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: a way that is stunning to me, stunning. They have

165
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: painted themselves in a corner where yep, we saw eight

166
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: good games from Daniel Jones. I know they've played nine,

167
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: but the last one was awful. Eight good games from

168
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and now we are gonna remove any ability

169
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: we have to pivot at that position, and it's gutsy,

170
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: it is. It's a real go all in move. I

171
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: just wonder how it's gonna feel if this season ends

172
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: with them hosting a wild card playoff game against the

173
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: Patriots and getting beat and they're one and done and

174
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, this is just our team. Now. I

175
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't have done it. I also think it is fair

176
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: to ask, is that too much to pay for anything? Yeah?

177
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: For any well, for any corner, pis a lot it

178
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: and so like, would it shock anyone? Here's the question

179
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: I would have because when the Packers traded for Micah,

180
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: it was it would have shocked people. If the Packers

181
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: this year ended up with the ninth pick of the draft, right, Like,

182
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: that would have been stunning, Right? Would it shock? Would

183
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: it be shocking if next year at this moment the

184
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: culture three and six? Would that shock people? Wouldn't shock me?

185
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: And so I it is their past defense was bad.

186
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Lou Ana Roumo now has a great that probably the

187
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: best corner he's ever had since he's been a coordinator.

188
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: It's a hell of a move. But it would have

189
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: been too rich for my blood. That's the thing. The

190
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Colts making moves that I think would

191
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: have been insane for the Chiefs or the Bills to make.

192
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Is something else. All right, Let's get to the other

193
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: side of.

194
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: These the Jets. They now have five first round picks

195
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: over the next two years, so surely they can't mess

196
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: this up, right, They're probably gonna get on the track.

197
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, this is the exact situation they found

198
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: themselves in which got him Quinnen and Sauce and Garrett Wilson,

199
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: and then they you know, they're now full blown blowing

200
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: it up.

201
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: I just gotta get the quarterback, right, Yeah, So.

202
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: I respect the Jets recognizing we are nowhere close, and

203
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: by the time we get close, Quinn is probably out

204
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: of his prime r he turns twenty eight here in

205
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. And Sauce, I'm sure they wanted

206
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: to keep, but to first is just too rich of

207
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: a price, particularly when it's too first from again from

208
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: a team that's not like an established every year good team.

209
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: And so now, yeah, you've got a draft. Smart And

210
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: if i'm the Jets, I am potentially in this year's draft,

211
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm open for business as well. I might move down

212
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: if there's not a quarterback I love. I might be

213
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: willing to trade my own pick, which could be you know,

214
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: the first, second, third, fourth pick of the draft, for

215
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: even more draft capital and try to full on fully

216
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: rebuild the team. It is good process. They just have

217
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: to hit on these players. And I understand people can say, oh,

218
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: the draft's a crap shoot. Here's the thing, Yes, the

219
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: draft is a crap shoot. But the fact of the

220
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: matter is this, if you have a no doubt franchise

221
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: quarterback on your team, unless your team, unless your quarterback's

222
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: name is Dak Prescott or Jaialen Hurts, that quarterback was

223
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: taken in round one. Every people can talk all this

224
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: stuff about, oh, well you can find quarterbacks anywhere. No,

225
00:17:53,800 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: every single team that has the no doubt franchise corputerback

226
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: that quarterback was a first round pick except for Dak

227
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: and Jail. That's it. Like, who are the no doubt

228
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks. They were first round picks. So the Jets

229
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: acquiring a bunch of first round picks for a team

230
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: that hasn't been able to get quarterback right is obviously

231
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: something they need to do, and so I don't begrudge it.

232
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: Begrudge them that I do feel badly for their fans

233
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: because it's just perpetual rebuild.

234
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: To man, just we just gave away everybody because you're trash.

235
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean we'll feel I mean, Fields isn't

236
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean he just he isn't the guy.

237

Speaker 1: or Virginia.

279
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 2: We just wrapped up the first half of the NFL

280
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: season with Sunday, so this is a perfect time to

281
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: talk about Bronnie James. Let's do it.

282
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: So here's the deal, and this is a little about

283
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: Bronni and this is more about media criticism. But a

284
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: little over a little less than a year ago, we

285
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: were in full blown Bronni James meltdown in the media

286
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: about the scourges of nepotism and Lebron forcing the Lakers

287
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: into such a mistake and pleading with Lebron as a

288
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: father to stop this farce, and folks claiming that their

289
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: heart just goes out to the other potential draftees who

290
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: got snubbed because the Lakers wasted the fifty to fifth

291
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: pick on Bronni, And now the last two games, the Lakers,

292
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: who are super shorthanded. Sunday night, we're in a tight

293
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: game with Miami, played Bronni in crunch time. He played

294
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: really good defense, had one awesome driving kick for a

295
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 1: critical three, and they won eighteen minutes solid you know,

296
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: end of the bench performance. And then yesterday in a

297
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: game where lebron was out, Luca was out, and Austin

298
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: Reeves was out, they called on Bronni again against the

299
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: Blazers when the Blazers were double digit favorites, and Bronni

300
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: played nineteen minutes, had six assists, had no turnovers, and

301
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers won again. Now, do I think Bronni is

302
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: a great player, Obviously not. Do I think Bronni is

303
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: even going to be a rotation guy this year for

304
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers when they're healthy. No. Do I think if

305
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: we are going to be fair and we are going

306
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: to look at this objectively, we should say, hey, how

307
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: does his production up to this point in the season

308
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: compare to the other guys drafted in the second half

309
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: of the first I think that's fair. So if you

310
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: go picks forty five through I think there were only

311
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: fifty eight in that draft, oddly instead of sixty, and

312
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, so of those fourteen guys, seven of

313
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: them are not on an NBA roster, so you know,

314
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: he certainly is providing more value than those seven. Of

315
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: those fourteen guys, only Quinton Posts, Jamal Shd and Cam

316
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: Spencer have played more minutes. Okay, of those fourteen guys,

317
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: only Jamal Shd and Cam Spencer have more assists. Of

318
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: those fourteen guys, only Cam Spencer has more steals of

319
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: though now bronni Is is field goal percentas like twenty percent.

320
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: He hasn't shot much, but I he's you know, I

321
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: think he's one for I think he's two for eleven

322
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: on the season, So obviously he's not he's not shooting

323
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the ball. Well, he's not shooting the ball much. But

324
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: you look at that draft and all the crying that

325
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: was done. Pick forty seven has not played, is not

326
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: on a roster. Pick forty eight has played eleven minutes.

327
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: Pick forty nine, Pick fifty, Pick fifty one has not

328
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: played or on G League teams. Pick fifty two. Quinton

329
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: Post has actually been solid for the Warriors and pick

330
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: fifty three. Cam Spencer's been solid for the Grizzlies, pick

331
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: fifty four, not on a roster, pick fifty five, Bronnie,

332
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: pick fifty six, pick fifty seven g League or not

333
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: on a row uster, and pick fifty eight. Hut Porty

334
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: apologies has played forty minutes for the Knicks and has

335
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: been given you know, slightly less production than Bronni. Right

336
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: in line with it. Whole point is, Bronnie James has

337
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: been a slightly above average late second round pick. That's

338
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: what he's been as a pro, A slightly above average

339
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: late second round pick. That's it. And the folks that

340
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: used him as a cudgel because they hate lebron should

341
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: be embarrassed. That's the Bronnie James update. Good for him

342
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: for being pressed into service for all of a sudden,

343
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: the frisky Lakers team that gotta win as a double

344
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: digit under dog without its three best players, And good

345
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: for him for playing his first ever crunch time NBA

346
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: minutes the night before and just looking the part of

347
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that looks like the eleventh best guy on

348
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: an NBA team. That's what he looks like. Happy, Yeah,

349
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him and so.

350
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: It was. It was.

351
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: I thought embarrassing some of the coverage last season when

352
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: he had that bad five minute stretch. I forget even

353
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: who it was against. And I'm glad that he didn't

354
00:27:52,840 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: let that throw him, and so good for him. Luca's

355
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: been absolutely historically great in the games he's played. Only

356
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: Wilt has ever scored more points through the opening five

357
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: games of a season, and he did it twice. Then

358
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: Luca's even two hundred through the first five games this year,

359
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: and the listen, the Spurs have been excellent, and I

360
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: understand the Spurs are dealing with injuries of their own,

361
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: but it is hard not to look at the Lakers

362
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: with no Lebron, with Austin having missed time, and obviously

363
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: Luca's missed some time as well, sitting at seven and

364
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: two alone in second place in the Eastern Conference, only

365
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: behind the Thunder and obviously I shouldn't say obviously and

366
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: shockingly the Chicago Bulls for overall record in the NBA.

367
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: But it's very hard to look at Luca doing what

368
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: he's doing and the Lakers sitting at seven and two,

369
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: and then not also look at the Mavericks doing what

370
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: they're doing. Sitting in dead last in the Western Conference

371
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: at two and six and not revisit what is will

372
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: go down in history as one of the most inexplicable, indefensible,

373
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: unforced errors a franchise has ever made. And I know

374
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: there was a very brief moment when people were like, well,

375
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: now that they've gotten Cooper Flag, maybe it all works out. Demons.

376
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you if Nico Harrison today called

377
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: up Rob Polenka and said we will trade you Anthony

378
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: Davis and Cooper Flag for Luka Doncic, they would say, no,

379
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: that is And the how good is Luca really? Conversation

380
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: that was briefly had last year was categorically insane from

381
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: start to finish, and up to this moment of the season,

382
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: he's been either the best or the second best player

383
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: in the sport. Giannis is playing at a just incomprehensible

384
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: level and Luca has missed time. But Luca giving you

385
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: a nice tidy forty eleven and nine on fifty percent shooting,

386
00:30:51,880 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: despite shooting thirty percent from three has just been not

387
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: shocking because you know how good he is, but remarkable

388
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: And it's why you know a lot of people this

389
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: isn't me picking on Bill, but Bill probably the most

390
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: noteworthy of the folks that coming into the year, we're

391
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: just totally, unabashedly, unequivocally writing the Lakers off as having

392
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: any chance, any chance to be a real contender. And

393
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: the reason that struck me as a little myopic was, Man,

394
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: if you had all of NBA history tells us, if

395
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: you have a clear cut top three guy, unless the

396
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: team is just in total shambles around him, you're at

397
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: least contender adjacent. And Luca has been a lear cut

398
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: top three guy obviously, Again, Gianness has been great, Shay

399
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: has been unbelievable, and the thunder losing last night's shocking

400
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: because it's shocking that they lose. That team is going

401
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: to win seventy games if they want to. But the

402
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Lakers surviving this stretch of no Lebron, Luca in and

403
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: out of the lineup, beating the Spurs who have been

404
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: red hot, and now say it again, guys, yeah, I mean,

405
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: and Reeves obviously playing great. And now if you're the Lakers,

406
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:48,239
Speaker 1: I don't know when Lebron's coming back, but over the

407
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: next two weeks you have Atlanta, Charlotte, OKC brutal New Orleans, Milwaukee,

408
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: it's a road trip, and then Utah, Utah. So you've

409
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: got seven games over the next two and a half weeks,

410
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: all of them on the road, except for one game

411
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: against Utah before you start a homestand which is maybe

412
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: where they would hope Lebron could come back. And the

413
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: expectation should be to go five and two in that

414
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: seven game stretch, at the very least four and three

415
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: and be eleven and five, twelve and four through the

416
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: first month and a half of the season through well,

417
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: really the first month of the season, which would be phenomenal.

418
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: And so Luca's just playing out of his mind, just

419
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: absolutely out of his mind. And Austin, when Luca wasn't there,

420
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: was playing out of his mind, and you thought I

421
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: was gonna skip it. Demonse, credit where it's due.

422
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: You got your got last night.

423
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm not talking, Bronnie. I'm talking. I'm talking.

424
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's fair to call him your guy.

425
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton. Yeah, yeah, he show up last night. He's

426
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: been good.

427
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was really rough very early on. But twenty

428
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: two and ten last night when they were super shorthanded

429
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine and ten against the Blazers. The no, he's been,

430
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: he's he's played well for him, and so fair is fair.

431
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: Credit to Balinka, a lot of credit to JJ Reddick,

432
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: who has this team ready to play every night, and

433
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: Jake la Ravia has done well. They're legit. They're legit

434
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: seven and two beating the Spurs, uh without Austin Reeves

435
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: and obviously no Lebron, and they did try to blow

436
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: it at the end.

437
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 2: But whatever, like you expected, did you?

438
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: No, not at all? Now, I didn't. I didn't write

439
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: them off because of the respect for Luca and because

440
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: I felt like when Lebron comes back, they'll still be

441
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: one of the only teams in the league with two

442
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: top ten guys, because that's what we'll see what Lebron

443
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: is this year. But last year he was a clear

444
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: top eight guy. But no, I didn't think they'd be

445
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: able to handle Lebron missing the first ten games, plus

446
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: Austin being out of the lineup some, Luca being out

447
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: of the lineup some, and I mean they've been they've

448
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: been excellent.

449
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,239

465
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: go to the first one.

466
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: First off, you've got Atlanta plus six and a half

467
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 2: versus Indy.

468
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this was Atlanta or plus five and a

469
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: half plus this Berlin game. Yes, Sunday morning, this is

470
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta plus five and a half before the Colts traded

471
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: for sauce. That's stupid. That is a fans overreacting to

472
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: a trade. A corner does not move the point the

473
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: game a full point.

474
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 2: It just doesn't.

475
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: And so I'm getting a little extra value. I also

476
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: feel like I know the europe game's favorites tend to

477
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: win and win outright and cover. I think I know

478
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: they went out right a lot. It feels like this

479
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: is a one possession game. I do think that Atlanta's

480
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: defense might be able to slow down a bit this

481
00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: prolific Indie offense. I also feel like this Indian team

482
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: is different on turf on a fast track than it's

483
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: going to be in Berlin. And I could see Atlanta winning.

484
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: I certainly can see Atlanta having this game be tied

485
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: at halftime or a four point game in the fourth quarter.

486
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: Bijon's gotta get going. Drake London was awesome, unbelievable this

487
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: past week, and I Panix worries me. But I'll take

488
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: the extra point I'm getting because of the sauce trade,

489
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: and I'll take it. Lanta plus the six and a half,

490
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: all right?

491
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: Next Tampa Bay minus two and a half versus New England.

492
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think New England's really good, but

493
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: Tampa I think is better. They are off a bye.

494
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: The Patriots were flirting with a loss last week that

495
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: you know they are kind of due for a so

496
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: to speak, Drake May is getting hit a ton, and

497
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: he admitted some of that's on him. That concerns me

498
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: a bit. Baker off of bye four and oh straight

499
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: up is a favorite. Uh and six and four against

500
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: the spread with extended rest with the Bucks again, I'm

501
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: getting what I think is the better team, and there's

502
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: no disrespect to New England, the better team with the

503
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: better quarterback at home off a bye, and I'm laying

504
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: less than a field goal, so as good as New

505
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: England's been, I think Tampa wins this game, and I

506
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: think Tampa wins this game by at least a field goal.

507
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: So I've got Tampa minus two and a half next.

508
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 2: Jacksonville minus won at Houston.

509
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is just purely a.

510
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 2: Who has the better offensive line?

511
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Well? Oh yeah, fading Davis Mills. I mean the Texans

512
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: offense was awful with CIJ.

513
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 2: I wasn't even thinking about CJ. Stroud not playing. Yeah,

514
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: that being my one for the Jags. I think it's

515
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: kind of crazy.

516
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Davis Mills has started amazingly twenty five

517
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: games in his career. They're five to nineteen and one

518
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: in those games, and so the Jags defense is really good.

519
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: I understand there. It's, you know, a road divisional favorite,

520
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: but the the Broncos offense was awful this past week. Now,

521
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: Houston's defense had something do with it, to their credit,

522
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: but Houston could do nothing because CJ was out of

523
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: the game and CJ's already been ruled out. So I'll

524
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: just swallow the point with the Prince. It's bad for

525
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. By the way, if the Jags win this game,

526
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs need one of those teams in the playoff

527
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: picture to fall out. The Jags are the one most

528
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: likely to do so. But I just think the Jags

529
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: are the.

530
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that line could have been three and a half.

531
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, weird with Davis.

532
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: With Davis Mills being the quarterback. I'll just take Houston

533
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: just to win. It's all I need. At minus once.

534
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: I'll take Jacksonville next.

535
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: Uh. Next, you got Chicago minus three and a half

536
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: versus the Giants.

537
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: So I'm going to continue fading the Giants because my

538
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 1: belief that the Giants season ended with that devastating Broncos

539
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: loss has just been validated by their last two performances,

540
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: getting annihilated by the Eagles and getting beat by double

541
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: digits by the Niners Jackson, but he's hurt right now. Yeah,

542
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: that's a great point. Yeah, Jackson darts banged up. Scataboo's

543
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: out obviously for the year. Neighbors has been out. Brian

544
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: Davell after starting seven and two as a rookie head coach.

545
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: They have started too and seven each of the last

546
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: three years. He's just always mad at everyone who is

547
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: mad at himself, and the Bears have an explosive offense.

548
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: And by the way, a little benefit this line is

549
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,959
Speaker 1: four and a half in most other places it's three

550
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: and a half at hard Rock Bet. My my theory

551
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: on that for the record is hard Rock Bet. Obviously,

552
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: you can use it in Jersey, so Giants fans there.

553
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: It's also the exclusive betting provider in Florida. A lot

554
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: of New York transplants there. So I think it has

555
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: been bet down from four and a half plus four

556
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: and a half to three and a half because all

557
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: that money's coming in on the Giants. They're trying to

558
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: get some Chicago money will take advantage of it. Chicago

559
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: minus three and a half, and I just don't trust

560
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: the Giants Stevens right now, and I think that their

561
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: spirit was stolen in that Broncos loss. So all lay

562
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: three and a half with Caleb Now one might be

563
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 1: my favorite.

564
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: Uh Pittsburgh plus plus three at the Chargers.

565
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I the Chargers without Joe all against and all

566
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: of a sudden one game but rejuvenated Steelers defense. And

567
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: I'm getting three points with Tomlin. And so obviously the

568
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: Steelers have to go east to west, which is an ideal,

569
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: but I'll deal with it. Tomlin again sixty seven forty

570
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: and four against the spread as an underdog. Uh, and

571
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: the week after winning outright as a dog, he's thirteen

572
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: six and two against the spread. I think the charge.

573
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers win this game, and if they don't,

574
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a last second type of game. I'm

575
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: getting three points. So our five games are Atlanta getting

576
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: six and a half against India and Berlin, Tampa laying

577
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: two and a half at home against the Patriots, Jacksonville

578
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: laying one on the road against Houston, Chicago laying three

579
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: and a half at home against the Giants, and Pittsburgh

580
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: getting the full three on the road against the Chargers. Oh,

581
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: one other thing about that Steelers game. That's gonna be

582
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: a silent count game for the Chargers demanse. That's gonna

583
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: be all Steelers fans taking over so far in LA.

584
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: And so that's the other piece that's not really a

585
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: road game for them,
