Thank you so much, every single 60 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: one of you. Love and respect from me. 61 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: Well, Richard, let's get into nice games. We had a 62 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: doubleheader on Monday night, football, starting with the ones I 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: think most people wanted to watch. That was a Baltimore 64 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: Ravens going on the road. 65 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: Nobody to watch the other game, Mitchell, they made that good, 66 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: very hard to get to. They sure did. 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: I was royally confused when I want to tune in, 68 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, what channel is this on? And I quickly 69 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: realized it was on a channel I do not have, 70 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: and we got to subscribe to ESPN Plus. But that's 71 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: neither here nor there, Richard, Baltimore got down early. They 72 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: were down ten points right out the game. It's to Tampa. 73 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: They looked sluggish. Tampa Bay looked like they had this game, 74 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Baltimore said not so 75 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: fast and just went on to steamroll Tampa Bay. This 76 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: game was closer than the probably score indicated. Lamar Jackson 77 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: and Derek dominant, or indicated to me, I'm sorry, that's 78 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: what I meant to say. This game was not nearly 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: as close as the getting the score indicated with Tampa 80 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: scoring at the end. But Richard, this identity of the 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: Baltimore raven football team is quickly starting to take fold, 82 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: and that's Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry. This team looks like 83 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough to play against. What are your 84 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens going on the road and 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: laying the hurt and on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 86 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 2: Well, at this point, they just seemed like an inevitability. Mentell. 87 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: Every single game, They're going down the field, even when 88 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: they start slow. At one point, I think it was 89 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: the third quarter, I left up and they said Derrick 90 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: Henry had five carries for like thirty yards. They were 91 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: talking about how good of a job Tampa was doing. 92 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: Obviously Lamar was having six says I think he had 93 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: just thrown that dime to Bateman the forty nine yard touchdown, 94 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: And then you look up at the end of the 95 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 2: game he had fifteen carries for one sixty nine to 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: eighty one yard scamper where he just looks incredible. He 97 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: looks like a creative player. The old school created players. 98 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 2: Mentell when it was like two thousand and five or 99 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: two thousand and six, he used to create a big 100 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: running back, make him ninety nine speed, two point fifty 101 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: breaking all the tackles. Except he's a real life human being. 102 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: He's going to be a gold jacket whining a player 103 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: after his career is done. But Lamar Jackson looked fantastic, 104 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: and he fished through the air seventeen to twenty two 105 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: for two eighty one. He found Mark Andrews a number 106 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: of times. One time he found him against against one 107 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: of my guys, a friend of a program, Jordan Whitehead, 108 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: on a great route late in the game. It was 109 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: a great touchdown path. But the player that day for me, 110 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: for him was the pass to Bateman and that past Mentell. 111 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: He dropped back in the pocket, he hit his back foot, 112 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: Bateman ran would appeared to be a seven in goal. 113 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: The corner thought it was going to be a seven 114 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: cut look back for the ball. As soon as he 115 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: looked back, Batement went and it was a dime in 116 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: the end zone. You couldn't throw it better, you couldn't 117 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: end it to him better. And you got to give 118 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson a lot of credit. He was efficient from 119 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: the pocket and then on the other side of the ball. 120 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: Marlon Humphrey had an incredible game before he went out 121 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: with injury. The veteran savvy had three interceptions coming into 122 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: the game, got two more today. Hopefully he's okay. I 123 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: didn't he left the game early with an injury. Don't 124 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: know what happened, but Rokwan Smith was all over the place. 125 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: He was everywhere like Project roaches eighteen tackles in the 126 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: ball game. He was up and down the field. A 127 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,679 Speaker 2: big reason why this defense played so well. Like you said, 128 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: the score looks like this game was close, but Tampa 129 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: was able to get a lot of garbage yards garbage points. 130 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: Ended up with close to four hundred yards or four 131 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 2: to sixty and yards and when the game was really decided, 132 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: to think they had three hundred and Baltimore had five 133 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: to eight. But the big storyline, you know, great win 134 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: for Baltimore. They're tied with the Steelers for first in 135 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: that division. That division is going to be a much 136 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: better race than we thought it would. I think a 137 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: lot of people thought either Baltimore would dominate this division 138 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: and run away with it or beat them in Cincinnati. 139 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: You know, maybe Cleveland if Deshaun Watson could get it together, 140 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: but he hasn't been able to and then now he's 141 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: gone out with the injury, so they seem like they're 142 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: down and out of this division, even though they have 143 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: a really talented defense. But the Cleveland I mean Cincinnati Bengals, 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: you just don't know. Their defense hasn't played as well 145 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: as they have in the past. They look like they 146 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: you know, they're always primed to go on a run, 147 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: but this year and they might have run out of luck. 148 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So in this game, Mitchell, 149 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 2: they lose their two biggest superstars on this team, Chris 150 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: Godwin to a a very concerning lower leg injury, and 151 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: he has had the worluck with lower leg injuries. When 152 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: I was there, he went out with a bad knee 153 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: injury playing against the New Orleans Saints, and you just 154 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: watched the plan and it was just so devastating. So 155 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: I hated to see him go out on the cart. 156 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: You could see his teammates feeling awful, Baker Mayfield getting 157 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: emotional about it. I'm sure Mike Mike Evans was in 158 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: the locker room already had went out with a serious 159 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: hamstring injury, likely will be sidelined three to four weeks 160 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: at the minimum. And to lose those guys, it's such 161 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: a devastating blow, not only emotionally, but in terms of production, 162 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: in terms of leadership, in terms of like your ability 163 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: to push the ball down the field. When you have 164 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: those two guys on the field, you know you have 165 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: a chance. And so Baker Mayfield always feels great. They're 166 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: going into a divisional matchup against the Atlanta Falcons next week. 167 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: He's gonna have to depend on Cade Otten and some 168 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: of these young receivers, maybe Sterling Shepherd and guys that 169 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: he hasn't had to lean on as much because he 170 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 2: doesn't have the two Aall pros that he's had. And 171 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: I hate to see that. They're phenomenal man, phenomenal teammates 172 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: and they don't deserve that. But you know, football is 173 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: one hundred percent injury game, and you just hope that 174 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: they can heal quickly and they get back on the 175 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 2: field doing what they love to do. 176 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Man, it was that one two 177 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: gut punch combo. Man, this fan base has got to 178 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: be reeling. You take the loss at home, and then 179 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: you turn around and you look at this team. I mean, 180 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: they went on the road, they beat my Detroit Lions. 181 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: Their their defense is so well coached, and they do 182 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: have those playmakers on the outside. And now we're starting 183 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: to see, you know, Bucky Irving and Rashad White take 184 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: more control. The Buccaneers had high hopes, I mean most 185 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: certainly in this division, but I think they were a 186 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: dark horse in this conference as well. And these two 187 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: injuries today, it's going to be tough to keep this 188 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: train on the tracks. Richard. We shall see how they 189 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: recover in that divisional rival rematch against the Falcons. That's 190 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: going to be a huge one for them to try 191 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: to keep the momentum of the season going. 192 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: Point.

The LA 212 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: Chargers there with this team that would just smash mouth football. 213 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: Jim Harball went there and that's what he was gonna do, 214 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: and we haven't seen a whole lot of Justin Herbert 215 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: all season. And then all of a sudden, bam, he's 216 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: throwing for thirty nine passes for three forty nine and 217 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: looking like himself of old Richard, the Arizona Cardinals come 218 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: off in a walk off thriller of this game. Your 219 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: thoughts here, what do you make of Arizona? Can they 220 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: stay around in this divisional race? Because let's be real, 221 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: it is a tight one out there in the west 222 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: side of the country that you're on. 223 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: Richard, Let's be let's be let's be really careful calling 224 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: things thrillers. 225 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Mitchell, I'm not gonna call it a thriller. 226 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: You said, a walk off thriller. Said, oh God, Leah, 227 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: that's a thriller. Goodness, gracious, must be opposite day. 228 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: There was a reason it was hard to watch, Rich. 229 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: It was hard to watch in every sense of the imagination. 230 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry Charger fans and Cardinal fans, all twelve 231 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 2: of you guys. I know you guys want me to 232 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: say great things about this team, but this game was tough. 233 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: And Arizona Cardinals have have had an up and down seasons, 234 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: and Kyler Murray has been up and down. He didn't 235 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: have a great game. Fourteen to twenty six, one hundred 236 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: and forty five yards, obviously doing a lot with his legs, 237 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: six carries for sixty four yards in the touchdown. But 238 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 2: James Conner continues to look like the Pro Bowl running 239 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 2: back that he is earning his keep. Nineteen carries for 240 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: one hundred and one yards, huge runs on the last drive, 241 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 2: just like Derrick Henry. Just seems like he wears on 242 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: the defense as time goes on. As the fourth quarter 243 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: comes around, less guys want to tackle him. Less guys 244 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: are looking to put their pats in front of his is. 245 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: So you got to give him a lot of credit 246 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 2: credit for that. The Cardinals defense was able to get 247 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: to Justin Herbert a number of times. Nikevan Smith had 248 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: a sack, Vin Steele, Dante Steeles had a sack. All 249 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: had a sack in the game. But it was the turnovers. 250 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: It was the fumbles. You know, Justin Herbert didn't throw 251 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: an interception, but they turned the ball over, fumbling the football. 252 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: And that's what allowed the Arizona Cardinals, even when they 253 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: were struggling offensively, to stay in this ball game. They 254 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: gave up plays they weren't able to convert in the 255 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: red zone, kept settling for field goals. You cannot keep 256 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: settling for field goals. And that's why people are concerned 257 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 2: about calling Justin Herbert a superstar quarterback because even with 258 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: all this, even with their offense, you know, even with 259 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: him throwing for three hundred and forty nine yards, he 260 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: was twenty seven or thirty nine. Like you said, Justin Herbert, 261 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: are old. Where are the touchdowns are? Where is the 262 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: end zone? Where's the points? To really be excited about that. 263 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: I'd rather you throw four one hundred and fifty yards 264 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: and throw for four touchdowns than throw for three forty 265 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: nine and have really nothing to show forward fifteen points 266 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: in a game. And I'm sure Jim Harrball and Greg 267 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: Roman aren't happy with JK. Dobbins fourteen carries for forty yards. 268 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: They just could not get the run game going. But 269 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: you have to give the Arizona car those defense a 270 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: lot of credit. They played well, They made the plays 271 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: they need to make, kept their offense in the game 272 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: and allowed them to have a chance late in this 273 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: ball game to win, and they were able to pull 274 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: it out. But you got you just gotta convert. If 275 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: you're the Chargers, you're coming off a huge divisional win, 276 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: feeling good, a chance to continue to solidify yourself as 277 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: contenders and this AFC West Division, and then you put 278 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: up a stinker like this. You know where you could 279 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: where you're getting the ball down the field, you're getting 280 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: your yards, you're you're you're making plays, but you're not 281 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: finishing drives. You have to finish drives. That's the name 282 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: of the game in this league. That's why a number 283 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: of these teams that are contending are are having that's 284 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: their achilles heel, their ability to convert in the red zone. 285 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: Because a lot of these defenses are been, but don't 286 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: break there. They'll let you. They'll let you get some yards, 287 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: they'll let you push the ball down the field. They'll 288 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: let you have a thirteen to fourteen play drive. But 289 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: when they get into the red zone, they're gonna bow up, 290 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: are they They're gonna make a play. They're gonna They 291 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: want you to play as many players as you can 292 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: because they think you're gonna make a mistake. And so 293 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: that's what continued to happen. But we'll see what this 294 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: means for the Chargers. We'll see what this means for 295 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals, because, like you said, the NFC West 296 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: is wide open. I think they're second in the division 297 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: right now because they beat the San Francisco forty nine Ers. 298 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's them, the San Francisco forty nine Ers, 299 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: the Rams, and then obviously the Seattle Seahawks at the 300 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: top right now, the only team above five hundred. So 301 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: anything can happen. You know, Seattle could go on a 302 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: run and start to pull away, or you know, they 303 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: could stumble. Who knows, but you hope they can pull 304 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: away and continue to win games. Maybe San Francisco figures 305 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: it out. And can find it. But they got a 306 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: tough road. They've got a tough game against the Dallas 307 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: Cowboys in Jerry's world coming up, so so many things 308 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: still waiting to play out. The Cardinals go to the Dolphins, 309 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: who without two a tongue of ailoa have looked like 310 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: a shell of themselves. Just came off of really really 311 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: hit scratching loss to Indianapolis Colts. I mean, if you 312 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: look at Anthony Richardson's performance, you'd say, wait, they won 313 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: that game. He just just really had nothing to show 314 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: for it, especially the way Joe Flacco had been playing 315 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: the previous games. But obviously they have a lot invested 316 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: in Anthony Richardson. They want to see him be successful. 317 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: They want him to go through the learning, the growing pains, 318 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: and they're gonna be patient with him. But just watching 319 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: the offense with Joe Flackle and how efficient, how how 320 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: productive those receivers and tight ends were when he was playing, 321 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of fantasy owners had fools gold 322 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: and start picking up Indianapolis Colts players like hotcakes Mitchell 323 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: and then and then they look up no production. 324 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. I mean, Josh Downs is 325 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: exploding like, I mean, Michael Pittman looked like himself from 326 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: last year, and then everyone's wondering, Hey, you know, oh 327 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: that's right. Garner Minshew was throwing him the ball last year, 328 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: not Anthony Richardson. It seemed if they want to win, 329 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: they got to put Joe Flacco in. But I don't 330 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: think they're gonna do it, Richard. Anthony richards Sin is 331 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: probably going to be the pick going forward. But I 332 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: want to talk more about your NFC West because I 333 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: know everyone feared it yesterday and we got confirmation. Now, 334 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers injury riddled season continues 335 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: in Brandon Ayuk's out now for the season with a 336 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: torn acl and mcl richard, what is your panic meter here? 337 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: Because we've addressed this numerous time this offseason, this training camp, 338 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: you know, and throughout this season. Now, losing one of 339 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: the top skill position players on this team, where are 340 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: we at mentally. 341 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: Well, mente I'm panicky, I'm panicky. I'm having a hard time. 342 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: You know. I find hope knowing that in the past 343 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 2: they've been able to dig themselves out of his whole. 344 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan's a fantastic coach Christian mccaffery's going to come 345 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 2: back at some point in time. You know, there was there, 346 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 2: there's conversations with Kyle this week about him potentially playing, 347 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: you know, obviously long shot to play in the Dallas game, 348 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 2: but I'm sure that's music to the ears of the 349 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 2: faithful that he's going to be coming back at all. 350 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 2: You know, that'll be a welcome boost. Maybe they can 351 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: get Juwan Jennings back. That will be a sight for 352 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: sore eyes, especially with the devastating injury to Brandon. I you, 353 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: you know, you hate to hear that, You hate to 354 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: see that. I'm grateful that he was able to get 355 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: his money because this is this is what the stuff 356 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: you hate. This is a game. You know, this is 357 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: his livelihood, and you never want a guy to get injured. 358 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 2: If he's going to get injured, at least he got 359 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 2: life changing money for his family. I know fans hate 360 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: to hear stuff like that, but that's how I fail 361 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: as a player. You want guys to be Years will 362 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 2: pass you, you know, you guys will remember and forget guys, 363 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 2: but his family will be in a better place. He's 364 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: worked his entire life to get to where he is 365 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: today to earn the deal that he earned. I'm sure 366 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: he's gonna come back with a vengeance and and and 367 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: you know, show every everybody why he got the big bucks. 368 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 2: But for just praying for a speedy recovery for Brandon Au. 369 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: And you know, this is an opportunity for Juwan Jennings 370 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: to showcase his talents along with Deebo Samuel. He'll obviously 371 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: get a bigger role now he was a little under 372 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: the weather in the last game. It'll get it also 373 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: give Ricky Purcell a chance to grow up quick. You 374 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: wonder when he will get his opportunity and how he 375 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: would get his opportunity, and how would they will be 376 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: enough footballs to go around. Well, sometimes the opportunities comes 377 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: quicker and more unexpectedly, uh than you can imagine. And 378 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: this is one of those situations. So you hate to 379 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: hear that, but I mean, I'm I'm panicked, but I've 380 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 2: seen him come out of bigger holes and go to 381 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 2: the NFC Championship and and really still compete for Super Bowls. 382 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough this season with how the those 383 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: teams from your NFC North are playing. It looks like 384 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 2: they're going to put four teams in the playoffs unless 385 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: they just all stumbled terribly down the stretch. Uh. So 386 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to find a. 387 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: Way, no question about that. I mean, like you said, 388 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: this is third and Juwan Jennings time to shine. He's 389 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: got a rise to this occasion. And then the silver 390 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: lining here for these forty nine are faithful is the 391 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: fact that Christian McCaffrey, hopefully we'll be back at some 392 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: point in the next few weeks and can provide them 393 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: some much needed firepower. Speaking of firepower, though, Richard, my 394 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions ace in their pocket. Jamison Williams gets suspended 395 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: for two weeks now. Just things can never be too 396 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: good in Detroit, Richard. Every time we get off to 397 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: a hot start, something like this has got to happen 398 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: to us. Fortunately we got the Titans this weekend. But 399 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts here about the Lions losing Jmo? 400 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: Well, that's tough, obviously, you know he had just started 401 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: getting his rhythm. It's a weird suspension, though, and this 402 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 2: is coming from a guy that understands how guys get 403 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: suspended usually for performance enhancing. It's six, it's four six, 404 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: and they've really been sticklers for six you know, when 405 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: it's something serious. So obviously some it's something small and 406 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: something trivial that they're given too, and something they could 407 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: probably have let pass. You know. Obviously it was an 408 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: accidental ingestion or something of that sort. So I don't 409 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: think this is anything where he intentionally took something banned 410 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 2: or you know, was trying to cheat the game in 411 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: some ways. So I hope fans aren't out here saying, 412 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 2: you know, you know, putting that label on this kid, 413 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: because this isn't that case. You know, there's so many 414 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 2: things you got to take these days, so many supplements, 415 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: so many so many things to try to get your 416 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: body right, massages and things of that nature. Even some 417 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: of the things that the the the protein powders and 418 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: things that the teams give you think they got checked 419 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 2: out right, but you just really never know. So I 420 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: want people to be cautious of really throwing a bad 421 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 2: label on this kid, especially with the two game suspension. 422 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 2: That's the league saying it wasn't him taking something serious 423 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: to saying knowingly, because if they thought that was the case, 424 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: it's automatic six games. It's non negotiable. It's non debatable. 425 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: It's nothing to talk about. They give six and they 426 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: walk away. So if it's two games, that tells me 427 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 2: I don't think this was a serious thing. But it 428 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: is tough for the for the Detroit Lions. But with 429 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 2: the way this offense has been rolling and the way 430 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 2: Jared Golf has been just spreading the football round, you know, 431 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: you obviously believe Sam Laporta is gonna get a few 432 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: more targets. You know that Aman Rod is gonna get 433 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: a few more targets. Maybe Jamiir Gibbs is more involved 434 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: in the past game and things like that, but it's 435 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 2: unfortunate because Jamison Williams was coming into his own. 436 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. But this is why they 437 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: signed Tim Patrick. They got some other guys that haven't 438 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: been able to play a ton and they're sure going 439 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: to get more opportunity here. The other news we got 440 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: this week is toua tongue Ailoa is set to return 441 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: to practice. He's not gonna be wearing a Guardian cap, 442 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: but word on the street is that he's been deemed 443 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: medically safe to return to practice. The Miami Dolphins clearly 444 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: need a left Richard. They're not fun to watch at 445 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: all without him on the field, and they desperately need him. 446 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: How much does this change the trajectory of the season 447 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins, But to have expected to be back. 448 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: Well, it definitely changes the trajectory of this offense. And 449 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's a welcome site to Tyreek Hill and 450 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: Jalen Waddell, whose seasons have gone to absolute nothing within 451 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 2: his absence. You know, quarterbacks just can't find them, can't 452 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: push the ball down the field though. I mean, they're 453 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: just pretty pretty much non existent. And I'm sure they 454 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: were ready to fold the season in if to a 455 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: tongue of Vailoa wasn't coming back. And so him coming 456 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: back means a lot for those guys. I'm sure the 457 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: guys that have them in fantasy are jumping for joy 458 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: at the chance to not just keep stashing them on 459 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 2: the bench and actually have a chance to play them 460 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: and in them to get some action and get some yardage. 461 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: He means a lot to these guys. And sure his 462 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: timing and stuff is gonna be all four second, he's 463 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 2: gonna knock the rust off. But it's a welcome site 464 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: this division. It's not really out of out of They're 465 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 2: not really out of contention at this point in time. 466 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: You know, they have to go on a serious run, 467 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 2: win some ball games, get back to five hundred to 468 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: have a chance, and they're gonna have to beat the 469 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills a few times if they really want a 470 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 2: chance at the playoffs. But he definitely gives them a chance. 471 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: I think he should wear the Guardian cap. But that's 472 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 2: just me. It's just me, you know, ten thousand feet 473 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: in the air, given my little two cents. 474 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was critical of new coach Gerard Mayo's soft comments. 475 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: They were across the pond, the Pats playing the Jags 476 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 1: and drove Mayos that were playing soft at the moment, 477 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: to which Bill Belichick responded to call them soft. They're 478 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: not soft. The Patriots led the league in rushing defense 479 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: last year. It's the same guys, Richard. What do you 480 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: you make of this comment, Well. 481 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 2: It's a young coach frustrated, trying to motivate this team 482 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: in a way that you know, it's it's that he 483 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: probably thought was right. Bill is an old school coach, 484 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 2: and Bill is one of those guys that I think 485 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 2: a lot of people had a lot of respect for. 486 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 2: Shortened press conferences, But I never really remember him calling 487 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: his team out in this way. You know, he probably 488 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: said they didn't play well enough or or they didn't 489 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 2: get to get the job done, or we weren't good 490 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: enough today or something like that, something short and to 491 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: the point. But I don't think he ever, you know, 492 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 2: went with the personal attack. So you know, it's just 493 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: something Drop Mayo can learn from. Schematically, they're getting beat 494 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: a team that that has has really been sound against 495 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: the run, against the pass for the last decade or 496 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: two with with or without incredible talent. You know, a 497 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: lot of times it's with guys that you had never 498 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: heard of, and everybody's like Bill Belichick is doing it 499 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: again with the with the D line you know nobody's 500 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: heard of, or you know, just schematically big linebackers, and 501 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: they say you can't play big linebackers these days. And 502 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 2: so it's one of those things that you understand what 503 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: he means because his team kind of got pushed around 504 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: out there over the pond by the Jacksonville Jaguars and 505 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 2: went down their throat, and so you could see why 506 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 2: he's frustrated. He's also a former player who's been out there, 507 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: who knows what it takes to play elite defense. So 508 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 2: I can see both sides of it. But I understand 509 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 2: what Bill saying. Bill saying, come on now, and we've 510 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 2: seen the guys do it, you know, put them in 511 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: a position they need to be in, they'll get the 512 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 2: job done. 513 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: Now for my personal favorite segment of the week, Richard, 514 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: buyers sell. I'm gonna ask you make a couple of 515 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: statements here and you're gonna buy or sell and tell 516 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: me why. I'm gonna start with the Honolulu Blue Detroit Lions. 517 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: Jared Goss Richard, this guy is sizzling hot right now. 518 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: I think the statistic of the day was that the 519 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions have over the past four games, have more 520 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: touchdowns than incompletions thrown. I mean, that's absolutely unheard of. 521 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: Jared Goff is on a tear. He is the best 522 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: QB in the NFC. 523 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 2: Buy or sell. I gotta buy Mitchell. I'm a numbers guy, 524 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: and he's got the numbers. He has to be the 525 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: leading MVP candidate obviously, and that's you know, up in 526 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: the air with Lamar Jackson throwing for five touchdowns tonight. 527 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 2: But the way he's been playing way this offense has 528 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 2: been playing. How efficient he's been with the football again, 529 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: Like you just said, more touchdowns than incompletions. That's a 530 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 2: ridiculous stat. I've seen him. He's gone eighteen for eighteen 531 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: in the game this season, and he's getting the ball, 532 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: spreading it to everybody. You know, He's spreading the love 533 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 2: to every single receiver. It seems like Ben Johnson's just 534 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: closing his eyes and saying, you get a pass, you 535 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 2: get a pass, You get a pass, you get a pass, 536 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: you get it. Oh, Mitchell, you see this, bookie, Bookie, Bookie. 537 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 2: Come on now, I'm getting into the spirit. Jared Goff 538 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 2: got me filling the rhythm. So I have to buy that, Mitchell. 539 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: It'd be tough to argue. You know, you can argue talent, 540 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: and I hate people arguing something that's subjective. Oh, there's 541 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: more talented guys. They're talent, talent, talent, talent. I don't 542 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: care about talent. A lot of guys that are more 543 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: talented or throwing interceptions, a lot of them at a 544 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 2: high tilt. And if you're throwing interceptions, you're putting your 545 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 2: team in harm's way. He's not doing that. He's spreading 546 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: the ball pushing the ball down the field, winning games, 547 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 2: scoring a lot of points. You got to give him 548 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,719 Speaker 2: a nod for now. That may change throughout the season, 549 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: maybe somebody catches him, but right now he's in the league. 550 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: What's impressive to me is that game of Miyes was 551 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: a bit of a trap game for the Lions. You're 552 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: riding high off the emotional you know, the victory, huge 553 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: victory over the Dallas Cowboys. You lose your emotional leader 554 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: and Aiden Hutchinson, and then you go on the road 555 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: against your division fox, who's playing the best football in 556 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: the league arguably, and then you get in the whole 557 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: ten to nothing. Jered Goff led this team back and 558 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 1: then of course they're down late and he let them 559 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: down the field for a game winning field goal. Terry 560 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: Bradshaw said after the game that he reminded him a 561 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: little bit of Tom Brady Richard. I don't know if 562 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: I go that far, but like you said, he's a 563 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: great ball distributor and he's arguably one of the best 564 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: in the league at it. Right now, moving to the 565 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: next topic, this one's tough. I know you're wearing the 566 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: hat right now, but I gotta ask it the San 567 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers will miss the playoffs. Buy or sell. 568 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: I'm selling that, Mitchell. I'm selling that. I believe in 569 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: coleg Or Brock Perdy and the boys. They're gonna rally 570 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: and figure it out, find a way to get those 571 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: playoffs and makes noise. They have to another number of 572 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: things have to happen, and some things they can't control 573 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: have to happen and go in their favor. But I 574 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: got them making the playoffs. 575 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: With that being said, I'm gonna stay in that same division. 576 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks will make the playoffs. Buy or sell, Richard. 577 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,959 Speaker 2: I can buy that. I can buy that. You know 578 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: it's as they get healthier, and you know they made 579 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: a change at right tackle, which was a glaring week 580 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: spot for him. Over the last couple of weeks, Geno 581 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: Smith has been doing a lot with a little you know, 582 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: making lemon I mean they giving him lemons and he's 583 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: somehow making lemonade Mitchell with no water and no sugar 584 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 2: and and sometimes no lemons. It's it's been incredible to watch. 585 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: He's moving around in the pocket, he's accurate, even when 586 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 2: he's under the rest. He's he's dropping dimes and he's 587 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 2: gonna get a payday, and he's gonna get a big 588 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: time pay day, well deserved. H I think they win it. 589 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 2: I think their defense is just getting better. They'll get 590 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: healthier Treik Wool and we'll get back in the lineup 591 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 2: make this defense even more formidable. We talked about Derek 592 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: Hall and Boye Mafey having really fantastic seasons, Leonard Williams 593 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 2: and Byron Murphy in the middle. Byron Murphy coming back 594 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: returning home last week to Atlanta and really having a 595 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: really good game. Leonard Williams had a sack in the game. 596 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: They're they're finding their rhythm. You know, they're young. Head 597 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: coach only thirty seven years old, Mike McDonald. It's starting 598 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: to really impose his identity on this team, and these 599 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: guys are starting to believe and starting to trust him. 600 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 2: So that's a really positive sign. I think they make it. 601 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: Moving on to Kansas City, this team looks like they're unbeatable. 602 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: They can withstand every task, every up and down the 603 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: season presents and Patrick Mahomes again comes off victorious on 604 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: the road in the Super Bowl rematch. Richard, this Kansas 605 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: City Chief team is gonna go undefeated this year by 606 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: or Sell. 607 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 2: No, I'm selling that, Mitchell. 608 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: Ye. 609 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: I don't think they want to go undefeated, at least 610 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: the coaching staff doesn't, because that leaves you so vulnerable 611 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: in these playoffs. You you need to teaching moments, and 612 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 2: they're getting a lot of teaching moments in these wins. 613 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: But as they always say, you lose, you learn more 614 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: from a loss and you do a win, and they're 615 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: getting away with some things they probably won't be able 616 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: to get away with in the playoffs. So they're gonna 617 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 2: need a loss to bring them back down to the earth. 618 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 2: And I'm sure the coaches will say the same thing, 619 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 2: and they're gonna get it at some point or another. 620 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 2: They're living on borrow time. They're winning some of these 621 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: games in some very odd and interesting ways. They're finding 622 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: ways to win ugly, pretty on the side, up and down, 623 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 2: you know, they're finding ways to get the dub and 624 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: with Patrick Mahomes leading the league in interceptions, Eventually, that's 625 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 2: gonna catch up to you. And I know it hasn't yet, 626 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: and it's cliche to say, but it is. That's just 627 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 2: how football works, no matter what the odds say. Eventually 628 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 2: that gets you, it bites you right there in your 629 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 2: hinee parts. 630 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: Before we leave this game. I know I didn't have 631 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: an opportunity to speak with you about it earlier, But 632 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: what do you make of Patrick Mahomes tiptoeing down the 633 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: sidelines acting like he's running out of bounds. Defender kind 634 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: of lets up and then he scampers for another twenty five. 635 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: That's why you laid out Jery Goff the way you 636 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: did at the goal line several years ago, Richard, because 637 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes deserved it in that case. 638 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mitchell, I mean, it's not Patrick mahone fat as 639 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 2: the league fault. This is what they've built. You know. 640 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 2: They want to protect the quarterbacks, and they're going to 641 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 2: continue to protect the quarterbacks. But if these defenders, you can't. 642 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: It's just unfair, but you can't. You can't slow down, 643 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: like until he steps out, Your effort should be your 644 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 2: intentions should be cruel, Like, hey, I'm going with bad 645 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 2: intentions until he steps out, and until he steps out 646 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 2: if he that That's what I was with Jared at 647 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 2: that time. I'm running full speed and my intentions are 648 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: bad until he steps out, and if he doesn't step out, 649 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 2: he's gonna feel my intentions right around this area, Mitchell 650 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 2: and he and that's what what happened. And I think 651 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: that's what you just gotta do. You got to play 652 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: through the whistle. You gotta play two and through the whistle. 653 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 2: And in that play there was a lot of assumptions 654 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: going on and you can't assume in this game. It'll 655 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 2: it'll bite you in the button. I'm sure that's a 656 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: tough lesson for young winters. But uh, he'll get in 657 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 2: and he'll be better for it. 658 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: And finally, we just watched him to night. On Monday 659 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: Night Football, the Baltimore Ravens put on a very solid performance. 660 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: It look like they're back on the right track. Derrick 661 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: Henry running the ball like crazy and Lamar Jackson looking 662 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: like his MVP self. The Baltimore Ravens are the biggest 663 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: threat to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC. 664 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 2: Bye it or so oh by that, oh buy that 665 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 2: and depending Ohio shakes out, though MITCHELLI, it's a weird year, 666 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 2: so it may not shake out like it did last 667 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: year where they don't meet into the nf AFC Championship Game. 668 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: They may meet before then. You know this Division race 669 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: for the AFC North is up for grabs. Obviously, Pittsburgh. 670 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: You know, Russell played really well. You know, George Pickens 671 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 2: made some incredible catch, his best game I think of 672 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 2: his career, his young career. But if they're not undefeated, 673 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 2: if the Houston Texans get on the run, you know, 674 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 2: and they can somehow sneak in and get that two 675 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 2: seed and get opposite side of the Kansas City Chiefs, 676 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: I think things get really interesting. I think you may 677 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 2: run into a situation in Baltimore, Raven. I mean, more 678 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 2: than likely they'll play Houston, but you could run into 679 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 2: a situation they stumble somewhere and they end up playing 680 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional, which would be, 681 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: you know, not great for the NFL. I'm sure they 682 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 2: will want to see him inn AFC Championship. But yeah, 683 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 2: I think they're the greatest threat to them, and I 684 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: think that's going to be a fun game to watch 685 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: whenever we could see it. 686 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: Richard, you're going to La this Thursday. It's time for 687 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: our TNF preview presented by Prime Video. The Vikings, fresh 688 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: off of loss against my Detroit Lions, are going to 689 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: be hungry going across the country to take on the 690 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: La Rams, who are in desperate need of a win. 691 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: Vegas has got this as a three point Minnesota Viking favor. 692 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on this game, Richard. The Vikings coming off 693 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: the bye week, you know, in a huge environment at 694 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: home against the Detroit Lions lose. I mean, what do 695 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: you expect to see out of them this Thursday? Is 696 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: they take on the Rams and what appears to be 697 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: a must win situation for them. 698 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is, let's win situation for the Rams. 699 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: But I got the Minnesota Vikings winning that game. You know, 700 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: it's it is a trap game on a short week. 701 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 2: And so you know, your boy, Stafford, if you're gonna 702 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 2: if you're gonna have a you know, no hope game, 703 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 2: and your team has no chance of winning this game, 704 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: and you got Matthew Stafford at the helm, that's the 705 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 2: only chance you got. That's a that's a very dangerous club, Mitchell, 706 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 2: because he I think he likes to be the underdog 707 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 2: more than he likes to be the favorite. He likes 708 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: to have no hope. Hey, take out all my star receivers, 709 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 2: back up old line, you know, backup running back, banged 710 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 2: up defense perfect. I'm gonna shred and he's gonna probably 711 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 2: throw for three point fifty if they can protect him. 712 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: And that's a big if because Brian Flores is gonna 713 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: be bringing a lot of pressure and so he may 714 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 2: end up. You know, this is gonna be an ice 715 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 2: bag game for him because I think they're getting a 716 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 2: little healthier on the offensive line. I think they might 717 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 2: be getting one player back, but they're still banged up. 718 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 2: They're young. Flora's is gonna be bring pressure from a 719 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 2: lot of different angles. They're gonna pop out and play too, 720 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 2: pop out and play man to man, give him a 721 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: lot of different looks. I think Cooper Cup is gonna 722 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 2: be his first game back. There'll be a a little 723 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 2: bit of rust there, but if he's able to if 724 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 2: they have any chance, it's gonna because Matthew Stafford is 725 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 2: just a gunslinger who's seen a lot of football, who's 726 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 2: played a lot of football, and he can get it done. 727 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 2: But I expect Minnesota Vikings to get back on track 728 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 2: and get back in the win. 729 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: Calf Well, that's this week's TNF preview, presented by Prime Video, 730 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: and be sure to watch the Vikings take on the 731 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 1: Rams this Thursday only on Amazon Prime. Richard's gonna be there. 732 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: I know you're excited to stay on that West coast 733 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: for this Thursday, Richard. Before we sign off, this is 734 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: a very critical part of the podcast. And I gotta know, 735 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the Richard Sherman power ranks have always been 736 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: a little you know, you've given some love. The Detroit 737 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: Lions you have been more hesitant tend to give love, 738 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: but I think they deserve it. 739 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 2: Now. 740 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see where you stack up. Give us 741 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: our top five. 742 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 2: Well, number five the Detroit line. Uh, well, well, we'll 743 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 2: go with the Kansasty Chiefs are undefeated, continued to find 744 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 2: ways to win games. We've talked about that extensively. Number two, 745 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,879 Speaker 2: Mitchell Detroit. Uh, Baltimore looked really good today. Mitchell, they 746 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 2: looked really good today. Uh. Number two, I'll go with 747 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions, and and Roy knows I don't want 748 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: to give it to you with Jui City here. Three, 749 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: I gotta go with the Baltimore Ravens. They're playing really 750 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 2: great football. They you know, Lamar Jackson looks really good, 751 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 2: Derek Hemery looks good at their defense. If obviously Marlon 752 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 2: Humphreys being injured is a big deal, but young Corner 753 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 2: is playing really good. Four we're going Houston Texans. I 754 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 2: still think they're going to be uh in a class 755 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 2: of their own in this division. Five is tricky. Five 756 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,720 Speaker 2: is tricky. There's a number of teams, green Bay Packers 757 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 2: being one that I want to put in five. Minnesota Vikings, 758 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 2: you know, who were two in my power rankings and 759 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 2: they lost to three. And if this was college football 760 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 2: and SCC, if two loses to three, there'll probably be four, 761 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 2: you know, but I'll put them at five. The Minnesota Vikings. 762 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 2: I still think they're one of the top teams in 763 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 2: the league. 764 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: I can absolutely respect that. Well, Richard, this can close 765 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: what we already through week seven of the season.
