1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on? Everybody? How are you doing?

2
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: John Middlecoffe here Three and Out podcast. We just did

3
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: a live reaction on YouTube, which is also our podcast,

4
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: so you will hear that from the game that we

5
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: just witnessed the Eagles beat the Cowboys, from the spitgate

6
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: to Jalen Carter getting ejected before the first snap, to

7
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: the lightning delay two ceedee lambs drops to tush pushes.

8
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: We got it all the night. What a start for

9
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So we'll dive into that. Christian

10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: McCaffrey injured again, shocker, and you know you're I'm not

11
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: exactly Adam Scheff, but boy went a little viral today,

12
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: and we'll dive into kind of the ramifications of the

13
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: story that was discussed with the scouts being banned and

14
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: then Stucky. A lot of you guys have asked to

15
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Stucky return my guy Stucky from the Action Network, degenerate gambler. No,

16
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean this guy when it comes to college football

17
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: and basketball, no one's is locked in in football. He

18
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: knows every player and every roster. So we bonded years

19
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: ago with gambling and he comes on I record with

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: him every Thursday morning and we'll hit on a couple

21
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: of college games, we'll hit on the NFL slate who

22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: he likes, some prop bets, and that'll be basically every

23
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: Friday podcast. He actually has a baby on the way too,

24
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: so yeah, so we'll see how that plays out in

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: December and January for both of us. But we're gonna

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,720

Speaker 1: price is guaranteed. Where oh where do we start? That

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: game was a marathon literally with the lightning delay, our delay,

53
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: bananas start to the game with Jalen getting kicked out.

54
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: The Cowboys get the ball back with under three minutes

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: with a chance to drive right down the field. I

56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: thought Dak played really well tonight. Even at one point

57
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: in time, my wife looks over to me, She's like,

58
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: did Dak get good? I'm like, well, you know, he's

59
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: actually a decent player. He's playing pretty well tonight. He

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: was slinging that pill around. Obviously at the end of

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: the game, hit seedee lamb right in the bread basket

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: and that ball comes flying right out of his hands.

63
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Everyone was moving so fast. It really wasn't that close

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: to get getting intercepted, even though it went through a

65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles defender's hands as well. But that was kind

66
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: of the game I personally, you know, I think it

67
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: was fourth and three or fourth and four. It was

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: fourth and three.

69
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

70
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: I hate a go route. I hate something deep breaking

71
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: down field. I understand you're in a one on one situation.

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I understand you're with one of the more talented players

73
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: at any position in the NFL. You give him a

74
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: spot to make a play. But you know, Dak kind

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: of off his back put throwing it up now. I'm

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: also not a proponent of running like a I don't know,

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: some quick moving play outside of the pocket that takes

78
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: out half the field. You see that play run sometimes,

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: and if it gets taken away, the quarterback has nowhere

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: to go. I don't pretend to be some offensive schematic genius,

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: but I do like some relatively easier options. Listen, you know,

82
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: more than likely Fangio had been blitzing down the stretch.

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: You might need to get the ball out of your

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: hands quickly, But when you throw that moon ball, I

85
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: don't care if it's Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Calvin Johnson,

86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Ceede Lamb. I mean elite. Obviously you're throwing it up

87
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: to an elite player. It's kind of like a coin flip.

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Feels a little bit like you're playing roulette. I love

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: playing Roulette as much as the next guy. When you're hot,

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: it's badass. But when you're putting chips around. Hell, when

91
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: you're putting on a red and black and it's going

92
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: up the opposite, it sucks. And when that ball's in

93
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: the air, let's face it, it's not a high percentage

94
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: to being completed. So the Cowboys were in a position

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: where they were massive underdogs with the Eagles. As Chris

96
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: Collins were said, the moment it happened, the best defensive

97
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: player on the team and easily one of the more

98
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: talented young players in the entire NFL, in the entire NFL,

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: gets booted before you can even blink. Huge advantage for

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: the young offensive line. They're in a position to drive

101
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: and win the game, and they don't really give themselves

102
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: a chance. Now, I also think let's start with that

103
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: situation because that's gonna be a major headline tomorrow, I

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: would says the first half played out, It's one of

105
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the more jarring starts to a game I've ever seen.

106
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't ever remember. Now. You can argue my memories

107
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: slipping a little as I age, but I'm pretty go

108
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: to the football stuff. Don't remember a player getting ejected

109
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: in a situation where the game. You've seen crazy things

110
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: happen before the game. You remember guys have been suspended

111
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: by their own team, Like remember Jamis came out in

112
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: college in his pads and Jimbo Fisher was pissed off

113
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: and told him to take him off. Like, we've seen

114
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: crazy stuff happen way before the game fights, probably more

115
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: in college that happened in the pregame warmups. But once

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: the game starts and the kickoff happens, and they're kind

117
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: of setting it up to start for TV, and the

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: two huddles are taking place, all of a sudden, you

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: don't really know what's going on because this dude on

120
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles just tore his acl who is coming off

121
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: last season where he tore his knee and missed the

122
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: entire season. You see his face going, how the fuck

123
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: can this be happening again? Kind of feel bad for

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: the guy, and then all of a sudden, Jalen Carter

125
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: is ejected. You're like, what is going on? Obviously as

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: it plays out, you realize he spit on him. I'm

127
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: getting text from people in the NFL like he's getting suspended.

128
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna get suspended how many games? I don't know,

129
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: one game, two games, and I'm not Some proponents like

130
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: this guy has to get suspended for this. Honestly, it

131
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: didn't cross my mind he was gonna get spended at first.

132
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Then Florio reports about the rules, He's like, Jayn Carr

133
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be in some trouble. He just impromptu, you know, unprovoked,

134
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: goes up to the starting quarterback on the opening night

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: for the National Football League and you could say, listen,

136
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Carter was in a vehicle that ran

137
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: another vehicle off the road where people died. Now you

138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: could argue he wasn't in the NFL yet, But like

139
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: the NFL looks past a lot of shit. But when

140
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: you mess with their games, when you devalue the shield

141
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: on the this is how they make their money. That

142
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: is the revenue generator. NBC Thursday Night, Sunday Night Monday

143
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: night the primetime games. If I had to guess, I mean,

144
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I seventeen million people just watch

145
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: arch Manning play Ohio State. So if you told me

146
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys Eagles Thursday night, thirty five million people, And clearly

147
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: we've seen the demos a growing number of women that

148
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: was not gonna fly with rog He was fucked. But

149
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: then the video comes out and I would imagine it

150
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: took place this way. Jalen Carter's in the locker room

151
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: telling you know, Sirianni, who's telling the trainers, telling Dom.

152
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: They're forwarded to Howie. They get word that, hey, he

153
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: provoked me. Now Dack spit at the ground and gave

154
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: him a nod. Part of sports is getting under people's

155
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: skin like that. Welcome to I don't know the NFL,

156
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: and listen. This is why during the draft season so

157
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: many people in the media is always like, you're so mean.

158
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: You can't say this about their character. You don't know.

159
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter was a massive red flag and one of

160
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: the main things I consistently heard, and this happens to

161
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot of players struggles with emotional maturity. And you

162
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: saw it right there. The guy was tossed before they

163
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: played a snap. I started thinking, I can't even imagine

164
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: how mad Fangio is. I mean, he's your best player,

165
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: and he's the player that the the other team with

166
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: young offensive linemen, a rookie guard has spent all week long,

167
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: and probably all training camp long, talking, thinking and game

168
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: playing against and he's gone. And it was a huge

169
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: advantage for the Cowboys. They go right down the field

170
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: and really offensively in the first half, they fucking dominated.

171
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: And this was an offense that last year couldn't run

172
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: the ball. It was in just I mean, their running

173
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: back room was terrible. And the night Javonte Williams, once

174
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: upon a time was viewed as as like a pretty

175
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: good prospect, a pretty talented guy. Obviously had a bad

176
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: knee injury. I thought tonight he was running pretty hard.

177
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what his final numbers were tonight, fifteen carries,

178
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: fifty four yards, had a couple of touchdowns, But I

179
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: just thought he ran hard. He gave them kind of

180
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: a physical element and not having Jalen Carter, I mean,

181
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: has a huge domino effect on the defense. Now, I

182
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: do believe this. The video of Dak does not absolve

183
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: Jalen like, he's gonna get fined one thousand percent. If

184
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: you ask me right now, do you think he's gonna

185
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: get suspended? That probably gets him off the hook. I

186
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't bet on it. You never know with rog because again,

187
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: that just made the whole thing look a little bad.

188
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people. It's not just

189
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: me and you drinking beer sitting on our couch watching

190
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: the game kind of laughing, going that was crazy. It's

191
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: a lot of women now, and it's a changing demographics

192
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: of the people that watch the sports. Why so many

193
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: people were watching the sport. So I would say it's

194
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: still on the table. But clearly the Eagles wanted that

195
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: message out because listen, I had to google, like, well,

196
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: who do the Eagles play next? Oh, they play the

197
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs in Kansas City and they're coming off a long week,

198
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: but so is Kansas City. And I'm going to assume.

199
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine the Chiefs win in Brazil, and if

200
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: they win, you get two one to no teams. Losing

201
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Chris Jones or I mean losing, I mean you're Chris Jones.

202
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter would be a pretty big deal. But this

203
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: all show shows and I'm not going to try to,

204
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: you know, psychoanalyze this entire situation, him as a player,

205
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: their situation big picture. But I always struggle with like,

206
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna have to pay this guy. We

207
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: always love doing that, like seven games into a guy's career,

208
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: even Jaden Daniels, Like, you don't have to pay him

209
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: for four years, Let's just see him do it for

210
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: three more. And I love Jaden Daniels as much as

211
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: the next guy. It was like Jalen Carter, They're really

212
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to break the bank. He had one good season.

213
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: You know, part of getting paid huge amounts of money

214
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: is every year doing it at a really high level. Right,

215
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: So especially with the amounts of money that we're talking

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: about with defensive lineman, we got a long way to go.

217
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: Because that was a moment. Even if you want to say, hey, listen,

218
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Dak got under his skin. The Eagles gotta be furious.

219
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: Howie Fangio like that was embarrassing the other players on

220
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: the team, Like like Collins Or said the night, it's

221
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: basically spitting on all your teammates. That's essentially what you're

222
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: doing getting booted out. I mean, you're screwing everybody and

223
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: you immediately become a man down right. It's one thing

224
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: when guys get injured, it's part of the sport. No

225
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: one can't control that, like Landon Dickerson's tort roll and

226
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, painkillers wear off as the game goes on.

227
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: No one can't control that, so they're down an offensive lineman.

228
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: When you do that and you get booted, especially when

229
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: you are I mean, there are some star players in

230
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: this game that night. There's a lot of money on

231
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: this field, from Saquon Barkley to Dak Prescott to Ceedee

232
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Lamb obviously to Jalen Carter as one of these guys.

233
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: So you remove one of the major chess pieces, it

234
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: just has a huge, huge impact. And listen, you could

235
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: argue like that was the Cowboys chance. Now it's hard

236
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: to really figure out and quantify, like the second half

237
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: was everyone thrown off. They have to disappear in the

238
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: locker room for an hour. I can't even imagine the

239
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: build up for this game. It's I'm sure it's humid there.

240
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: You're just naturally exhausted as the first game of the year,

241
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: and then it's a tight game. It's actually a very

242
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: entertaining game, and all of a sudden, we call time

243
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: out for you know, over sixty minutes and you got

244
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: to go back in the locker room and just kind

245
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: of sit there. That really threw off the flow. So

246
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: trying to act like the end of the game or

247
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: the last whatever twenty plus minutes and put that into context,

248
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: it's hard because the game had a much different flow

249
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: until that happened, and then the game became completely different.

250
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys defense, and this was the argument

251
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: of like, hey, even if Mike is there, this defense

252
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be atrocious. Obviously he would help. He's a

253
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: fantastic pass ruger. You watch the Cowboys defense in the

254
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: first half, You're like, Jalen Carter looks like Barry Sanders,

255
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: or I mean, Jalen Hurts looks like Barry Sanders running around.

256
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: It's like, what is going on here? They look atrocious.

257
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: And then they come back from the delay and they're

258
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: just stuffing Sakuan behind the line of scrimmage. They're chasing

259
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: Jalen out of the pockets. Like god, they look fast,

260
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: they look pretty good. So I think that it's that

261
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: delay had a huge, huge impact on the game. But Listen,

262
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: if you're the Eagles, you get your best defensive player

263
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: kicked out of the game, you know you're starting quarterback.

264
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: This is the thing with Jalen Hursts, and this is

265
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: why I think it's very, very difficult. Like Dak at

266
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: this point in time, he had one run where he

267
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: ran for four or five yards. He looked like me

268
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: running like his days as a mobile quarterback they're done now.

269
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Dax's mobility is Kirk Cousins or Jared

270
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: Goff but you know, or Joe Flacco. But he is

271
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: no longer what I would consider a mobile quarterback. He

272
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: is a pocket quarterback who could run a couple of yards.

273
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: So the ankle injury, the hamstring injury, he is a

274
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: pocket quarterback. Now tonight he was twenty one to thirty

275
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: four countless drops. I thought he was slinging that pill.

276
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was playing at a really really high level.

277
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Jalen very efficient. But you look up and at one

278
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: point before that, AJ Brown, and I love this AJ Brown.

279
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: The elephant in the room is like AJ Brown hasn't

280
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: had a target at one point in times, Like you

281
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: guys are up in this game. Why are we word

282
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: isn't the goal isn't a team game? Aren't we worried?

283
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: AJ Brown's on his third contract, so it's I understand.

284
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes if you're a young player, it's like production leads

285
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: to getting paid. AJ Brown's not contract, not a second contract,

286
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: his third contract. He's a fucking elite player, a dominant,

287
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: dominant player. No one questions like I wonder if AJ

288
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: can produce. We know he can produce. He is a

289
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: dominant individual player. They're gonna be games for whatever reason

290
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have much production. Who cares. The point

291
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: of the game is to win. And then he gets

292
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: that final, final catch but we all know it. We're like, well,

293
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I bet he was gonna be really hot. Probably still

294
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: not happy, but at least he gets his target. Now, listen,

295
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: that's part of dealing with the wide receivers. You gotta

296
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: deal with it. But that was clearly like kind of

297
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: floating around, you know, like a cloud. It's like, oh,

298
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: this is you. You could win this game by ten.

299
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: But man, if he goes, if he gets a goose egg,

300
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: not even a target, you know that dude is not

301
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna be happy. Be'st the thing with Jalen. He's got

302
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: like one hundred and forty yards passing, but he only

303
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: has a couple incompletions. You watched him, you think he's

304
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: been pretty solid, but he doesn't throw for that many yards,

305
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of dinks and dunks a little bit. But his running,

306
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: especially in the first half, is just such an element. Listen.

307
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: I was head wrong on the player when he came out,

308
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: and I watch a lot of Oklahoma and Alabama football,

309
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: especially when Lincoln was the coach and Nick Saban was

310
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: the coach. I did not think he was an NFL quarterback,

311
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: completely wrong. He throws it dramatically better now than he

312
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: did in college, obviously, but he's turned into a very

313
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: solid thrower of the ball. I did not think it's

314
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: throwing college hell, neither Nick Saban. But his running. I said, listen,

315
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: if he can't, if this throwing never works out, and

316
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Nick Saban was right. He could be one hundred percent

317
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: like a Pro Bowl level starting running back. And you

318
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: watch him run the night and listen, he could go

319
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: for spurts over the course of a season, especially the

320
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons, where he doesn't really run tonight.

321
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: Maybe it's early in the season, maybe its because they're

322
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: playing the Cowboys. Maybe he's just amped up, hasn't really

323
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: played live football in a while. He just turns that

324
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: running back like he's not He's not Kyler, he's not Lamar.

325
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: He's really more like a Frank Gore in the open field.

326
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: He's kind of slow, steady, instinctive. And you look and

327
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: he's got fourteen carries sixty two yards, a couple of touchdowns.

328
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: He it is just it's natural. There is a calmness

329
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: to his game. Honestly, both these quarterbacks I thought very

330
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: under control the night. Nope, I mean the opposite what

331
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: we saw of like Arch and some of these quarterbacks

332
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: in college kind of freaking out getting those frenetic feet.

333
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: Like both these guys is very calm, cool and collected.

334
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: Obviously a couple of times both their offensive lines got smoked.

335
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: You know, Jalen can scramble much better than Dak at

336
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: this point in time. But you know Jalen, it's weird.

337
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: He's not he's kind of hit or miss in the pocket.

338
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: But he does throw a nice ball, and he hit

339
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: Dotson on the one deep ball. He throws a beautiful

340
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: deep ball. He's kind of turned into a better version

341
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: because he's a much better runner than this player. But

342
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: like when Deshaun Watson was really good with Houston because

343
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: he's such a good playmaker outside the pockets and he

344
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: turns into a great runner and he's pretty solid from

345
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: within the pocket. He's definitely just good. One thing that

346
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: he brings to the table that I don't think he

347
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: gets enough credit for is he will just get rid

348
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: of the ball. And he's good at just getting rid

349
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: of the ball, either to his check down or his

350
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: tight end kind of near round the line of scrimmage,

351
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of down in the flats. He does that a lot,

352
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: and it just kind of keeps the chain moving. Now, listen,

353
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: they voted on it this summer or I guess this spring,

354
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: And my take was simple, like, listen, I don't care

355
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: either way if they if they let him keep playing,

356
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: it's a legal play. This is football. They do it

357
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: better than everyone. They have this quarterback and really they're

358
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: running back that squat like combined, you know, fifteen hundred pounds.

359
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: It's part of strength. My lotta was being quoted by

360
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: collins Worth like this play sucks on my body, but

361
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: it obviously works. And if they banned it, like I

362
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna complain. I gotta be honest, it's a terrible

363
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: play to watch. Now, I get it. If I'm an

364
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Eagle fan, you know it, and I think part of

365
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: it's a terrible play to watch. You just know what's

366
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Part of what makes football fun, whether it's

367
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or like Daniel Jones, when the

368
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: ball is snapped you so even if you're very confident

369
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady's gonna complete it, you don't one hundred

370
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: percent know what's gonna happen. I mean, there were plays

371
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: to nights like, ah, they're gonna give it to Saquon.

372
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: Saquon's probably gonna bust a long run and he get

373
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: like a TfL for three or four yards. It's part

374
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: of the great part about football. It's why people often

375
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: freak out, especially the coaches when it comes like the

376
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Connor stallions or the Belichick you know, deflate gate or

377
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: not to play gate, but spygate, or stealing of the signs.

378
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: It's like the the purity of the game is the

379
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: defense does not know what's coming. Now, they can study

380
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: and they can get a good idea, but if I

381
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: even have half the idea that I know you're running left,

382
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: even if I don't know the run, whether it's an

383
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: off tackle, whether it's a pitch, whether it's off the

384
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: inside of the guard. That is a huge advantage most defense.

385
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Most times the defense is taking educated guesses, but they

386
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: don't know run past what is coming, and the tush

387
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: push just feels like an inevitable play right It's it's

388
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: almost feels like wh in baseball. I don't even think

389
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: they do this anymore because they automatically send them to

390
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: first base. But most of my life when they just

391
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: go like this and they just throw four straight balls,

392
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: you're like, what's the point? And thankfully baseball just kind

393
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: of outlawed that and just sends the guy to first base.

394
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: But it's just not a fun play to watch now.

395
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't blame them for doing it. I would do

396
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: it too. It clearly is a very effective play and

397
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: it works, but it's kind of a crappy play to watch.

398
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Other than that from this game, yeah, CD man, I'll

399
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: reiterate what I said earlier. I do think on fourth

400
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: and three, in situations where the game is on the line,

401
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: I just don't like kind of go routes and just

402
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty balls down the sideline. I'll just never

403
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: be okay with that. I just think that that is

404
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: that's taking too big of a chance, especially in a

405
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: situation where it's one thing if you're down multiple scores

406
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: and you're kind of desperate. It's another thing when you're

407
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: down four points and you're driving the football and your

408
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks played really well, Like you have a sixty million

409
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: dollar quarterback. Who listen, we can nitpick Dak all we want.

410
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: He's not a top five quarterback, but tonight like he

411
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: played like a guy that you'd feel confident calling the seventh, eighth, ninth,

412
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: tenth guy like in that range. Right, So he's he's

413
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: been very accurate, very confident in the pocket. I don't

414
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: know the exact route combo to run, but run two

415
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: or three routes that are breaking off a yard or

416
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: two past the first down marker. Give yourself a much

417
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: higher percentage pass that. Like I just said about Jalen Hurts,

418
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: one thing, they do a really good job with him

419
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: as a passer, and I get it drives people nuts

420
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: because he does have these explosive plays, but he's got

421
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: no problem on first and ten. Turn it into second

422
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: and six because he just threw the check down or

423
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: some little curl route to God or for four yards.

424
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: They do it all the time. He's gonna do it

425
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: all season long. Most of his stat lines are gonna

426
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: be one hundred and sixty yards, are gonna be a

427
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: two hundred yards, like, he's not throwing that often for

428
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: three hund in eighty yards. This isn't Joe Burrow, you know,

429
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: he's not having Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes and his

430
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: Brian stat lines. But it's very effective and keeps the

431
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: clock moving, keeps the momentum going down. And listen, I

432
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: did get not not emotional, but as someone who's lost

433
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: his dad, and my dad meant a lot to me.

434
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: And I don't even do like my dad was a farmer,

435
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: like my brother works in that world. So I can't

436
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: imagine being a guy like Brian Schottenheimer whose dad was

437
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: an extremely famous coach, a really high level coach, and

438
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: him talking about his dad pregame and then during the

439
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: break when they showed him getting emotional during the during

440
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: the anthem like that, that was a pretty powerful moment

441
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: and it was cool, dude, And I'm guilty of this too.

442
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: Everyone's been talking a lot of shit about the higher

443
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: and I stand by, like no one else was hiring

444
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: him to be their offensive coordinator, let alone be the

445
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: head coach, but Jerry Hyron be the head coach. And

446
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: I thought tonight he did an extremely respectable joke. He's

447
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: also the play caller, and I get it they lose Jalen,

448
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: but him going against Fangio, who is I don't know,

449
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: five six million dollar coordinator. Probably, I mean, I think

450
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: there's a pretty good chance he's the highest paid coordinator

451
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Maybe solid for them to get him

452
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: back this year, But I mean, you're talking paying a

453
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: guy a ton of money who is elite at his job,

454
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: and Shott Nimer went blow for blow with him tonight

455
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott, who, while he makes a lot of money,

456
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: we all think is a little overpaid. Now I also

457
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: think you saw and I might have been wrong on

458
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: this a little bit. George Pickens does definitely add from

459
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: a talent standpoint, a huge positive for them. Gives them,

460
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, an explosive player on the other side of CD. Obviously,

461
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: he in theory, should be a fifty to fifty guy.

462
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: He got a nice kind of contested catch down the sideline.

463
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: Did have an awful penalty where he tried to decapitate

464
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: a guy, but hey, that's the George Pickens experience. But overall,

465
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: long game, fun game, and we're off and running. Got

466
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: we got Chiefs Chargers tomorrow. I don't have much to

467
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: say on this game besides just big picture. I think

468
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: the Chargers, I think you're gonna come back there with

469
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. I know they're the five seed last year.

470
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: I think losing Slaters a death blow, A ton of

471
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: pressure on this young running back who in theory I

472
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: was high on. But when I've seen them in pads

473
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: in training camp, haven't loved it. Their receiver group is

474
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: still pretty questionable. I just I never bet against Harbaugh.

475
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: And it's not like I think they're gonna suck. But

476
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: if you told me they went eight to nine this year,

477
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked. If you told me they went

478
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: nine and eight missed the payoffs, I wouldn't be shocked.

479
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: To me, they're an eight to nine win team, and

480
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: I think Chiefs I don't know if they win fifteen

481
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: games again. But the more I think about it, like

482
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm done picking against them. I'm done betting

483
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: against them. I've done it for a couple of years.

484
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Took the Ravens in the ANFC Championship a couple of

485
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: years ago, took the Niners in the Super Bowl. I

486
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: took the Bills last year. I was like, I kept thinking,

487
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: like most people, like, how are the Chiefs doing it?

488
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: They just do it because I got Andy Reid and

489
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. It's that complicated and e lead defensive coordinator,

490
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: a fantastic GM who's a good personnel guy who builds

491
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: this thing through young players. They're gonna be really good

492
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: and I expect them to win tomorrow. We are extremely

493

515
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia. A couple other things before

516
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: we get out of here. Listen, This player, when he's right,

517
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: is one of the more fun players offensively in recent

518
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: memory to watch, and once he got with Kyle Shanahan,

519
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: it was like the football gods created a marriage. And

520
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: I remember when McCaffrey first got there, Kyle Uschek was

521
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: doing an interview and he said, he said, it was

522
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: crazy how often when Christian first got traded through the

523
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks, he looked at me. He would

524
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: look at me during these team meetings and be like,

525
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: is this really happening right now? Because like the way

526
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: and how deep they got on offense, and Christian's a

527
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: football junkie, and obviously when he's on the field in

528
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: this scheme, he went healthy, a dominant player, an MVP

529
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: level player. Now it's hard for any non quarterback to

530
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: win the MVP, but that's how good he is. Right,

531
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes injuries just derail people and for whatever reason, whether

532
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: it's just wear and tear, whether it's muscle composition, you're

533
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: just wound too tight, whether it's just you know, age,

534
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a doctor. As a sports lover,

535
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: we have seen guys that you wouldn't think be able

536
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, that are just durable for fifteen years,

537
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: and then guys that are built like Greek gods just

538
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field, so that there aren't any answers.

539
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: But at this point in time, we have a long

540
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: history of going. You kind of just got a bet

541
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: on Christian McCaffrey being an injury question mark, and it's

542
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: almost like a couple of years ago in twenty twenty

543
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: three was an outlier. So when the news broke today,

544
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: I was shocked when Christian McCaffrey had to leave practice

545
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: with a calf, But then I started thinking about it.

546
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: Part of the reason I guess I was shocked is

547
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: because he's been healthy all offseason. He's been healthy all

548
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: trading camp, and then going into Week one, just like

549
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: last year, all of a sudden, he's injured. How does

550
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: that happen? But it did, and it does, and I

551
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: think it's extremely concerning because the reality is, if Christian

552
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is injured, is I would even say compromised. Is

553
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent For the majority of twenty and

554
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: twenty five, the forty nine ers are not making the playoffs.

555
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: They could still be a competitive team. But if you

556
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: tell me Christian McCaffrey is in and out of lineup,

557
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: if this calf turns into an achilles, turns into missing games,

558
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: but they're not good enough, They're not deep enough, They're

559
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: not talented enough, and they are just too Christian McCaffrey dependent.

560
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: And I think this offseason, anytime that you try to

561
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: quote unquote save money, I think it's hard for people

562
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: to get behind you. Now, when you cut a player

563
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: who's making a lot of money to quote unquote save

564
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: money because that guy's not good, no one has an

565
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: issue with it. It's like, yeah, that guy you're paying,

566
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: this guy who's a diminishing player. You cut him before

567
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: week one, so you have to pay them twenty million

568
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: dollars or fifteen million dollars or whatever. The money's not

569
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: guaranteed any fan, anyone in the league, Like, totally makes sense.

570
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 1: But when you just start cutting guys or trading guys like, oh,

571
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: we don't want to pay Jordan Mason a couple million

572
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: dollars as our backup running back, Well, you don't know

573
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: that Christian McCaffrey can stay healthy, because based on recent evidence,

574
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: you would say that is definitely up in the air.

575
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: And then you get a a bunch of young defensive linemen.

576
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: You go, well, we go want some young defensive We'll

577
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: save ten million dollars by cutting Leonard Floyd. We didn't

578
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: miss a game last year, even if he's diminished slightly,

579
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: you have a bunch of cap space. You don't have

580
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: that many proven players at those positions. Why wouldn't you

581
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: keep him around? Was he a bad guy? No, he's

582
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: a really high character guy. We really like him. We

583
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: just want to save some money. That's hard for people

584
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: to get behind. It's understandable in baseball. Pirate fans expect

585
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: you to not spend money. Sacramento A's fans, like I

586
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: dropped that they're actually the Oakland A's, Vegas A's who

587
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: knows where they're playing, they're actually currently playing in Sacramento,

588
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: expect for a low payroll. But when hal Steinbrenner comes

589
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: out and says, you know, we're gonna trade a couple

590
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: of players because we got to reduce the payroll, no

591
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: one's gonna give you any compassion. No one's gonna get

592
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: behind you on that one. And I think when you're

593
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: an NFL team, whether you are Mike Brown and the

594
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals or you're Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys,

595
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: we all know you got money and you can afford it.

596
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: You're just choosing not to. So I think if this

597
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: forty nine er season. If Christian's injured and he's in

598
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: out of lineup and they end up missing the playoffs

599
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: with this joke of a schedule, it's like, God, he

600
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: didn't have enough good players, like you chose to get

601
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: rid of some guys like I understand letting Tyle and

602
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: Noah who fun could go like he's been injured multiple times,

603
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: You're not they're gonna offer him a big contract to

604
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: go to Denver. Okay, you drafted a bunch of safeties.

605
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Totally get it when you just end prompt. Yeah, we'll

606
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: just trade Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings. What are

607
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: they paying them, like ten million dollars? Yere, No, just

608
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: a couple million dollars. But we got like a you know,

609
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: fifth or six round pick, like no one cares. And

610
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, McCaffrey misses Week one against

611
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: the Attle. It's like, well we go with the Brian Robinson.

612
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: He just showed up a week ago. Was it Jordan

613
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Mason better than him? Could you have both of those guys? Yeah,

614
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: we could have, but like we you know, we want

615
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: a little extra money. It's it's hard for people, and

616
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, one of those people. I'm the opposite. Actually,

617
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: when it comes, you got to pay everybody. Everyone deserves

618
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: the max contract. Like, I'm not pro that, but I'm

619
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: also not for pinching pennies just to get rid of

620
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: a guy to have a bigger cap number just for

621
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: the hell of it. And that's what it feels like.

622
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers did a little bit with a

623
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: couple guys, and now the injury props up, and you go,

624
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: what's gonna be the end result here? This thing could

625
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: get weird before it even starts, And if Christian McCaffrey's injured,

626
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: it derails a lot of your guys fantasy teams. Because hell,

627
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I have too much faith. Maybe I'm

628
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: just you know, I don't know rose colored glasses with

629
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: the guy. But if you would have told me, should

630
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: I draft him number one overall that's a little risky.

631
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: Should draft him seventh? I'd be like, yeah, why not? Fifth? Yeah?

632
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: Do it had one? Why not? I mean, what if

633
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: he plays, you know, sixteen games, he could have eighteen

634
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: hundred yards and score twenty touchdowns and it turns out, yeah,

635
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: he ends up playing three games. That's if you told

636
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: me right now, he plays three games, totally believable. He

637
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: told me he plays ten games, totally believable. If you

638
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: tell me he plays the majority of games, that feels

639
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: kind of unbelievable at this point because certain players, their

640
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: body just breaks down on them. Okay, we'll end on this.

641
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

642
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: During the Belichick game the other night, and I've talked

643
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: about this now I think three days this week. When

644
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: the peat Damil report came out that he was being

645
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: hard on the scouts and given out shitty you know,

646
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: too deep to the scouts and the media, I just

647
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: immediately started texting some of my buddies and I started

648
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: getting people just peppering me back, like yeah, man, it's

649
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: I haven't gone. But one of our guys went it

650
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: was a it's a shit show, it's a disaster. It's

651
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: not very pro friendly, and they've banned the New England Patriots.

652
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: And so I put it out just as used it

653
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: as a take. And I knew if it, you know,

654
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: people heard it, which they would, you know, people listening

655
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: to this podcasts, they would gain some steen. It gained

656
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: a lot of traction today and it kind of went

657
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: a little viral that Belichick has banned the Patriots, and

658
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: then Benjamin Albright, who's in Denver on the Broncos tight

659
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: end with the Broncos, tweeted out that they've banned the

660
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: Broncos too. I guess one of the dudes that works

661
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: for the North Carolina personnel staff is was fired by

662
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: General Patton in Denver. So they're just extremely bitter. One

663
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: thing I just can't wrap my head around, and I won't,

664
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: is I understand hating someone for firing you. I do

665
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: get that, whether you've made one hundred million dollars or

666
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: whether you've made five dollars, we all would, emotionally, if

667
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: we've invested a lot, have some resentment and bitterness. Even

668
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: if you're an optimistic person, even if you're just Gary

669
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: Vee always like the positive side. Just head up, smile,

670
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: battle through it, don't look back. Listen. We're all human beings,

671
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: whether you're Belichick or whether you're me or you. But

672
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: there does get to a point where you're running an organization,

673
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: especially in college. The NFL is very interwoven in the

674
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: college game. The scouts, especially in these power forward programs,

675
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: Scouts assists in gms, held gms around all the time.

676
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: It's a huge It's very normal if you're at Alabama,

677
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: if you're at Georgia, if you're at Ohio State, if

678
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: you're at Texas. You see these people constantly. They're just

679
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: interwoven in your day to day. So to push back

680
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: on that side of it, which again, I like Michael Lombardi.

681
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: I've said over and over. I listened to his podcast

682
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: for years. He's come on this podcast, I've texted with him.

683
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: He was a GM like you. They would know that

684
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: doing this is counterproductive from their entire messaging. And I

685
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: heard someone say this. I forget who to give credit to.

686
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: Might have been Josh Pate when he was talking with Colin.

687
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people have been saying this, but I

688
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: think it was Josh that coaching in college and coaching

689
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: in the pros, well, you're both coaching football, and first

690
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: and ten is first and ten right, Fourth and goal

691
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: from the two is fourth and goal from the two.

692
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: A forty yard field goal is a forty yard field goal.

693
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: Now ashes are a little bit differently, but still football's football.

694
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: A couple of rule changes. Right, one foot in out

695
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: of bounds if your knee hits you can get up

696
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: in football in the pros if you're not touched there

697
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: are Obviously there's a lot of different rules. OT's a

698
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: little different, but the NFL coaching job is dramatically different

699
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: than the college coaching job. And whether you like it

700
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: or not, and listen, I'm a believer that recruiting isn't

701
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: as important as it used to be. Like being a

702
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,479
Speaker 1: great recruiter twenty thirty, forty years ago. A huge part

703
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: of that, Like you're going in people's homes. You are

704
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: having dinner with mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, the high school coach,

705
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: their family, their uncles, their brothers, their sisters, you're going

706
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: to high school basketball games. You're doing a lot of

707
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: shit that NFL people never have to do, don't even

708
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: have to contemplate doing, honestly laughed at. Nowadays, you don't

709
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: have to do that as much. You know, Deon Sanders

710
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: has never done a home visit. He doesn't have to now.

711
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: I would imagine that Sark and some of these guys

712
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: still do occasional home visits. But money has changed the game.

713
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: What have we been talking about it all week? Like,

714
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, ten years ago been hard being critical of Arch. Well,

715
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: arch is making eight nine million dollars makes it a

716
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: little less Like, Bro, you know different than any of us.

717
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: You're making more money than ninety nine percent of society,

718
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of society, So you're gonna

719
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: play that bad like we're gonna talk about you like

720
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: a pro. And hell, I've been told by my scouting

721
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 1: buddies that the head coaches tell them that they've become

722
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: a little more cutthroat, Like when they know the nil

723
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: is paying their middle linebacker seven hundred thousand dollars and

724
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be an All American and then he

725
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: goes a month and he's just missing tackles left and right,

726
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: like it's it's a different experience than ten years ago

727
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: when that was my guy. I've known him. I'm gonna

728
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: build with him. I know. If this doesn't work, I'm

729
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: either gonna cut him or if he hates me, he's

730
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna leave. So we're in a different day and age.

731
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: But being a college coach is a completely different job

732
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: than the NFL. You're dealing with boosters, you're dealing with

733
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: the board of regents, you're dealing with the president, you're

734
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,479
Speaker 1: dealing with the ad. You see the softball coach every day.

735
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 1: You just deal with stuff that you would never deal

736
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: with in the pros, and I have changed my tune

737
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: in a short period of time. I thought Belichick would

738
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: probably be able to turn it around. But when I

739
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: see stuff like this happen, and listen, it's not even

740
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: about banning the Patriots. I'd say the bigger issue than

741
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: banning the Patriots is being anti NFL, being anti the

742
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: NFL scouts. Do you know what an advantage that is

743
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: for Miami Clemson in Florida State, who already had a

744
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: massive advantage on the University of North Carolina for the

745
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: last I don't know my entire life, So you're putting

746
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: yourself at a disadvantage when you were already behind. That

747
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: feels like the opposite of everything Bill's already always done

748
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: in Texas. With some people today, it's like when you're

749
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: that stubborn, you almost don't care about things that when

750
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: you were in your right mind and younger, you never

751
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: would have operated like this. And listen, we give Jerry

752
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: a lot of crap. Listen, everyone has ripped Jerry Jones.

753
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: It feels like at one point in time over the

754
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and a lot of it is

755
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: like he's brought that on himself and some of you

756
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: are so young you don't remember this. The last four

757
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: or five six years of Val Davis were pretty ugly,

758
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: and if he would have been in this modern era

759
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: of social media and more podcasts and TV shows, it

760
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: would have been really, really ugly. But again a lot

761
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: of itself inflicted. And it feels like this stuff will Bill.

762
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: You're gonna make mistakes naturally, right. You're gonna recruit the

763
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: wrong guy NFL too. You're gonna hire the wrong coordinator.

764
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: What with the Cowboys, they had a first round pick

765
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: that didn't even dress tonight. You have the wrong draft picks,

766
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: you hire the wrong trainer. Humans we all make mistakes.

767
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: There is not a human alive that hasn't made a

768
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: mistake this week. Some bigger than others. But the more

769
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: and more you rise and whatever business you're in, the

770
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: more mistakes you're gonna make, and the quicker you can

771
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: pivot from them, and the quicker you could realize, well,

772
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: if I don't do this, I can avoid that mistake.

773
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: I don't need to step in this situation. I can

774
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: just avoid it. And it feels like he's just stepping

775
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: in it double middle fingers, because that's how he's been

776
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: in New England, where I just I don't think that's

777
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: a good idea, you know, and I clearly it's gonna backfire.

778
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: And this story is just an ugly one for him,

779
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: it really is. And it's one of those I didn't

780
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: make it up. I was told by enough people. I'm like,

781
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: it's true, and you never truly know. It's like, it's

782
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: not like I had tried to do a school call

783
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: and then the North Carolina confirmed it. Yeah, They're like, yeah,

784
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: they're not welcome. I'm like, damn. Not only did they

785
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: not hide from it, they embraced it. They said, well,

786
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: the way they treated us that there's no way we're

787
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna treat them well. So f you to them. I'm like, geez,

788
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: Louise that I've been hard on a lot of coaches.

789
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: Two guys that I would say until it's hard for

790
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: me to be critical because they've won a lot of games,

791
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: would be Sark and Ryan Day. One thing, and I

792
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: like Sark more than I like Ryan Day. But one

793
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: thing you cannot dispute with either guy is they take recruiting.

794
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: They take dealing with the NFL world and helping their

795
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: guys take the next level, and dealing with the Scouts

796
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: very seriously. And you know you saw that Ryan Day

797
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: learned that from Irbyn Meyer, and Sark learned that from

798
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: Nick Saban and that that's a really really big deal, right,

799
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: And I just think it's kind of a sad ordeal

800
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: at this point in time. Okay, that'll wrap it up

801
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: for Night one, and uh, I guess sources say that

802
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: we will be back for tomorrow night Chiefs Chargers, and

803
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: let's just keep our fingers crossed that we don't get

804
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: a lightning delay and uh, we don't get pushed back

805
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: in an hour. But hopefully everyone enjoyed the football and

806
00:41:51,200 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: I will see you soon. Okay. I've been getting asked

807
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: when the hell is Stucky making his return? And I

808
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: just assumed we were just and I realized I hadn't

809
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: texted him, and he texted me, and I'm in Hawaii

810
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: drinking my ties. I'm like, hell, yeah, next Thursday, let's

811
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: roll back. And Adam from the Action Network Big Bets

812
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: on campus. Go subscribe Action Network podcast. This guy is

813
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: a gambling extraordinary and I can't imagine, like me, you

814
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: just last week was pretty fun. You know, obviously the NFL.

815
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: We're recording this before Thursday night game is awesome, but

816
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: that college football weekend, especially with the Big Game. Do

817
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: you see some of those television ratings? Stucky? Action Network?

818
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: What's up, bro?

819
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: What's going on? Yeah, it's good to be back. We

820
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 3: were like halfway back last week with college football full

821
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 3: slate this week, now we're all the way back. It's

822
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 3: like NFL Thursday, Friday, full college football slate, Saturday, full

823
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: NFL slate Sunday, and from here until the Super bowlers

824
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: there's there's no rest. So yeah, looking forward to another

825
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 3: season of chopping it up and hopefully you can pick

826
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 3: some winners.

827
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: Okay, before we dive into the NFL. I remember last year,

828
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: was it one of your favorite college bets Michigan to

829
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs? Like two or three to one? Yeap?

830
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: You know you live in Lexington, SEC Country. You're a

831
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: college just fucking fanatic when it comes to football and basketball.

832
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: Anything you saw last week, like did you change on Clemson?

833
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: Are you now all in on LSU Arch looking kind

834
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: of like a scrub? I mean, clearly Texas is good,

835
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: but does that give you pause? Ohio State more impressed

836
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: expect that any big takeaways from your big picture maybe

837
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: a big bet you had in terms of the playoffs,

838
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: something you saw last best week that that impacts the

839
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, final eight, final four, National championship hunt.

840
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the biggest question this year it's wide open.

841
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 3: I mean you can go look at the odds board.

842
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: There's no like clear uh, there's no clear alpha team.

843
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 3: And the biggest questions with many of the teams at

844
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 3: the top or quarterback. A lot of the teams have

845
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: uncertainty at quarterback. You can look at Texas like everyone

846
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 3: just assumes the manning name that he's going to be

847
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 3: the guy, but we still haven't seen a lot. Like

848
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: last week was his first road snaps and he was

849
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: pretty inacurate. It doesn't mean he can't get it together,

850
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 3: but there's definitely questions there. And Texas also lost a

851
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 3: lot of pro town elsewhere. Ohio State new quarterback lost

852
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 3: a lot, and I think saying looked okay. I don't

853
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 3: think they really tried to do much. They were lying

854
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 3: on their defense, but they only have two hundred and

855
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 3: two hundred and three yards of total offense. So there's

856
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: still some questions there with saying Alabama I was low.

857
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 3: I am not a ty Simpson guy. He did not

858
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: impress me at all. I don't know what's going on

859
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 3: with Alabama and Debor, who's like always so trustworthy and.

860
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: Now he's we love gambling on him. The biggest bet

861
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: of my life to date is still betting on him

862
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: against Sark in that semi final game. Yeah, it's it's

863
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: remember the week before he beat Landing, he was like,

864
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: you know, almost a ten point dog in the championship game.

865
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, anywhere, and even before then, anywhere he's gone, like

866
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator had like he's always been so successful. I

867
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I don't think since I think

868
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 3: they have to go to one of the younger kids

869
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 3: at quarterback. But we'll see. The effort just wasn't there

870
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: on defense, like some of the clips you saw of

871
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: some of the guys it was. It was definitely concerning.

872
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see where Alabama goes from here.

873
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: The team that I was, I was pretty low. I

874
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 3: was lower than the market. On Clemson, everyone was just

875
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 3: like crowning Clemson. I said, like pumped the brakes like

876
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: this team last year. I know they bring everyone back,

877
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: but this team that shouldn't have made even made the playoff.

878
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: They needed Syracuse to beat Miami. They lost to every

879
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 3: SEC team they played. Club Nick. Yes, he played better

880
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: against Texas, but like for the whole season, if you

881
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 3: looked at the toughest competition, he didn't play that well.

882
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 3: So I still had questions about Clemson. Like I knew

883
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 3: that they were a good team, a top tennis team

884
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 3: that I people were just like crowning them already. The

885
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 3: team that I came most impressed with, the team that

886
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: I was high on coming to their I that's on

887
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 3: the win the SEC. The only national title future have

888
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 3: now is LSU. I was super impressed them. The biggest

889
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 3: question on the team. I loved all the trances they

890
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: brought in on a defense. I'm a Blake bigger guy.

891
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 3: That defense is trending up. It seems like they figured

892
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: out how to use Perkins. That defense was outstanding last week.

893
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: The biggest question, and we know neuss Meyer, of all

894
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 3: the top teams, who do you trust their quarterback situation?

895
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 3: The LSU asked to be up there at the top.

896
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: So that's a good starting point. That's a good place

897
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 3: to be right now. It doesn't mean like someone else

898
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: can't come and catch them. And one of these younger

899
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 3: quarterbacks can ascend. But ls's in a really really good

900
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: spot compared to a lot of these other top teams

901
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 3: from a quarterback perspective. They have all the town on

902
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 3: the outside. The biggest question with their offensive line, and

903
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 3: you know, you lose four guys to the NFL. But

904
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 3: if you go back to last year, they could not

905
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 3: run the ball. They were the worst rushing team in

906
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: the SEC. They had no bounce, so it was just

907
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: now must Meyer had all day. He was protected well

908
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 3: by all these NFL offense lineman, but they couldn't figure

909
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: out the zone run blocking team. So you got you

910
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 3: put all these new guys together, some young you know,

911
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 3: five star freshmen, some transfers. If you can actually get

912
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: some semblance of a rushing attack and then give that

913
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: give Nussmeyer some balance because he's not going to run

914
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 3: the ball like that, this offense could be really good.

915
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, them going on the road. They even had

916
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: a touchdown taken off the board they fumbled, give him

917
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: a field goal. Super impressed with LSU. You told me

918
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 3: to pick a national champion right now. I know you

919
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 3: could say it's overreacting, but I'm going with LSU. A

920
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: known quantity at quarterback that I'm very confident in.

921
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: What's your take on Florida. I know it's hard to

922
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean, half the top teams played, you know, nobody's

923
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: but clearly that quarterback. I was texting with someone yesterday

924
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: who's just you know, diehard football guy, and we were

925
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: texting about Arch and I was like, you know, the

926
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, no one's even gonna make it

927
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. But in you know what, three weeks

928
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: from Saturday, he takes on Lagway, like to see another

929
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: guy that clearly is an elite town with a team

930
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: that might be pretty good. That that could be a

931
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: really tough spot if if all of a sudden Florida's

932
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: three and zh going in that game wins that game,

933
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: could they be a legitimate SEC contender or are they

934
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: not as good as like, you know, George, I got Tennessee,

935
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: you know, against Syracuse, but they thought they look pretty good.

936
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Syracuse is way down this year. I mean

937
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: they lost just a ton. I don't know if Joey

938
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 3: Aguilar can the app State transfer was it UCLA for

939
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: a minute, can actually you know, lead them to an

940
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 3: SEC championships kind of like a rebuilding year and a

941
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 3: way for Tennessee. They're still gonna be very competitive, but

942
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: it's not a team that went into the portal heavy

943
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 3: like they're like developing guys. They're doing it. I think

944
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: more of the right way. I think you want to

945
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 3: have a good balance. So just from a roster perspective,

946
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: I think that they understand that this is they have

947
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 3: a couple freshmen waiting in the wings at quarterback, that

948
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 3: this is probably a reset year. Florida is interesting with

949
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 3: Lagways one of the most talented quarterbacks in the country.

950
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 3: Their schedule is just acid. I mean, they should beat

951
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 3: South Florida this week, but that game is, you know,

952
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 3: not might be difficult. Then they go LSU, Miami, Texas,

953
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 3: Texas A and m Mississippi State's better, Georgia at Kentucky

954
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: at Ole, miss Tennessee, and then Florida State now looks

955
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 3: significant proves So that's that looked like a gimme coming

956
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 3: into the year.

957
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: That could be one of the hardest schedules in like

958
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: the history of sports.

959
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 3: It's it's it's insane. The one thing I'll bring a Fardi.

960
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: You can't take too much away from playing the Long

961
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 3: Island Sharks.

962
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know they had a football team.

963
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 3: It's they're bad. But the one thing I'll mention is

964
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 3: that they have a new right tackle who was getting

965
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 3: destroyed by Long Island. They get up with eleven tackles

966
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 3: for the loss. He was getting destroyed. I don't think

967
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: they can have him out there. Like you want to

968
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: go play Miami in a couple of weeks and those

969
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 3: Miami defensive ends with a right tackle who was horrendous,

970
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 3: So their offensive line was like a strength. They have

971
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys attorney with the right tackle. New

972
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 3: guy in there had a horrendous game against Long Island.

973
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 3: So something to watch with Florida as they ramp up

974
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 3: a competition is that right tackle spot. But yeah, I

975
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: mean they're a really good team. I think I'm like

976
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 3: a top fifteen team Power ratings s last they could

977
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 3: ascend to top ten, maybe in the top five. But

978
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 3: the problem is can you get through this schedule without

979
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 3: maybe you think of nine to three though with this

980
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 3: schedule you can still get them in. But uh, yeah,

981
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 3: they're they're They're one of the better teams in the country,

982
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 3: and they have a quarterback that you can definitely rely on.

983
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: I watched a little bit of the Michigan game and

984
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: didn't watch any of Oklahoma. So I went back and

985
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: watched the highlights last night of the two quarterbacks. I mean,

986
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: obviously underwould easy to see why, you know, like relative

987
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: his talent compared to Arch not even in the same ballpark.

988
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: But Matier, I thought I had like a little like

989
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: Farvian Josh Allen gunslinger to him. I mean's just like

990
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: totally shit. But the ball comes out of his hands,

991
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: I do I get it? Like, And I texted a

992
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: buddy with Oklahoma He's like, yeah, he's got a chance. Now,

993
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: this is a huge game. I do think if Oklahoma covers,

994
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 1: you know, Michigan's getting four and a half. It's always hard.

995
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's a true freshman now, probably the

996
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: highest paid freshman not named Cooper Flag in the history

997
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: of the NCAA. But like that, that's gonna be a

998
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: tough That place is gonna be rocking. It's at night.

999
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's defense right, a ton of returning guys. Honestly, last year,

1000
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: remember when I went to the Texas Oklahoma game. That

1001
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: game was basically tied. It was a couple of minutes

1002
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: left to the first They were good on defense last year.

1003
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: Their offense was just a joke. And I do think

1004
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: if Oklahoma kind of commands and wins this game, they

1005
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: might have something with this quarterback that four and a

1006
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: half kind of in that weird zone. I guess you

1007
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: would just have to take history true freshman, But what

1008
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: if this guy really is that special? It would make

1009
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: me a little nervous. But that's historically been a pretty

1010
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: tough place to play. Now. Michigan's probably got you know,

1011
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: they got an NFL defensive coordinator in Wink going up

1012
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: against Matier. If Matier plays well in this game and

1013
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: like throws three or four touchdowns, yeah, well just throws

1014
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, has like a Nusmeyer type game,

1015
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: and you just like he's gonna start darting up the

1016
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: draft boards, is he not?

1017
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? At the number one, Underwood was super impressive.

1018
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: Guys all over that running back they have from Alabama,

1019
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: Haynes justiceames.

1020
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 3: The problem with Michigan like Underwood, yet every throw you're like, Wow,

1021
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 3: this kid can make every throw. The problem with Michigan

1022
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 3: is they still have like their offensive line still has

1023
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 3: some questions, and their receivers just aren't great. So and

1024
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 3: you lost Lovelin at tight end, so he doesn't have

1025
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: as much help as you might think. Michigan's recruiting very well,

1026
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 3: Like I think next year they should look better in

1027
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: that department, but they're they're like supporting cast outside of

1028
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 3: the running backs. We LLave a bit to be desired.

1029
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 3: So I'm very curiously how he looks against the oaklhum

1030
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 3: the defense which is really good. You like Oklahoma in

1031
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 3: this spot, yeah, I mean if you just over the

1032
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 3: like if you look at last week, a lot of

1033
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 3: these very young quarterbacks like making their first start going

1034
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 3: on the road. I mean, look at Alabama, Notre Dame.

1035
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 3: If you faded all of them, you had a good weekend.

1036
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 3: So it's a tough spot, like really tough. Defense off

1037
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 3: of the line isn't great. Secondary, I mean, excuse to

1038
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 3: be wide receivers aren't great going on the road, hostel

1039
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 3: environment first, true a roadsard is a true freshman. That's tough.

1040
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 3: But Oklahoma is not without its flaws. I mean they

1041
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 3: played Illinois State last week. There's not too much you

1042
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 3: could take away him, but they couldn't really run the ball.

1043
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 3: Their offensive line is still a question mark. They couldn't

1044
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 3: run block last week. They have two true freshmen on

1045
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 3: the offensive line. So Michigan's defensive line down the step

1046
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 3: from last year, but still really talented. I assume that

1047
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: Wink is gonna blitz a ton year. So if they can,

1048
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 3: like if Oklahoma can't run and they're in like third

1049
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 3: and long and obvious pass downs, Wink is gonna blitz.

1050
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: He loves the blitz, and we're gonna see how Matier

1051
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 3: can process the blitz against a much talent or defense,

1052
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 3: because you could look at this two ways. At Washington State,

1053
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 3: he struggled a bit when he played Power four teams,

1054
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 3: so if you look he was you know, if he

1055
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 3: had he was sacked ten He was sacked eight times

1056
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 3: against Boise last year, who blitzed Ton. He had a

1057
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 3: little trouble processing the blitz and getting it out to

1058
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 3: his hot read Texas Tech and Washington last year, like

1059
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 3: he wasn't great. It was great running, but not throwing.

1060
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 3: And this is a step up from there. So we're

1061
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 3: going to see what he can do throw the ball

1062
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: because I don't think Okahoma's gonna be able to run it.

1063
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 3: So this really profiles is like I mean, it's boring

1064
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: to say but it probably pro even with so much

1065
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 3: excitement at quarterbacks. It probably profiles is an undergame now

1066
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 3: that it's come way down. It was at like fifty

1067
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 3: four the summer until like forty five and a half now.

1068
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 3: But it's hard for me to see Underwood as talented.

1069
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 3: He is having much success without his you know, without

1070
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 3: much a wide receiver offensive line, and then I think

1071
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 3: Michigan's defense will come to play here. So this probably

1072
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: profiles is an undergame at four and a half. It's

1073
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,479
Speaker 3: probably a stay away from me. Oklahoma got back really early.

1074
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 3: They were minus one and a half, went up to

1075
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 3: six and a half, Michigan got bought. Now it's sitting

1076
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 3: at four and a half. But I'm really I want

1077
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 3: to learn more about both quarterbacks. It's the tier against

1078
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 3: top tier competition, and then Underwood wo me doing a

1079
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 3: hostile environment because if he can win this game, man,

1080
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 3: you got to be super impressed. The last note is Barham,

1081
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 3: one of their Michigan's best linebackers. He suspended for the

1082
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 3: first half due to a targeting so that's not worthy.

1083
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 3: He's really important in like the blitz and pass rush,

1084
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 3: so we'll see if Oklahoma can take advantage early.

1085
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: My favorite story of Week one none on the field

1086
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: was Clemson, was it? Yeah, Clemson realized that that LSU

1087
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: transfer from Houston got kicked out in the second half

1088
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: of his last game, and no one's knew, no one's

1089
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,479
Speaker 1: paying attention, no one's watching that game. That's that's that's

1090
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: college football for you. Before we dive into the NFL's

1091
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: transition through Belichick, did I see it correctly that that

1092
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: number was originally at about three touchdowns like twenty four and.

1093
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 3: Now I went down twenty one before the games last week,

1094
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 3: and then obviously it comes down under two touchdowns now

1095
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 3: and then yeah, it opened back up around like seventeen

1096
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 3: and then got that down to like twelve and a half.

1097
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 3: I did go over two touchdowns. It's worth a bat

1098
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 3: on Charlotte just on the spot. Charlotte might be really,

1099
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 3: really bad. I mean I had Charlotte Week one plus seven,

1100
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 3: they closed plus two. They got destroyed. They should have

1101
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 3: lost by sixty tap State and nap S eighteen. That

1102
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 3: was brand new. They looked horrendous, So it's hard to

1103
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 3: really quantify how bad they are.

1104
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 1: But it's also what was the score of that game?

1105
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: The final score a lot too a little because Belichick

1106
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: I saw him say that they got killed too. I

1107
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: didn't even.

1108
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 3: Forty forty two to fourteen or something. Let me say so,

1109
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 3: it completely blow up thirty four eleven, but like it

1110
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 3: could have been worse. Their defense looked really bad. Brand

1111
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 3: new team, brand new coach. So it's same with North Carolina.

1112
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 3: But the spot is so bad for North Carolina, Like

1113
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 3: so much went into that game, so much hype, so

1114
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 3: much build up. It was on a Monday night. Now

1115
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 3: you're turning around playing on Saturday, like that never happens

1116
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 3: in college, and you're playing at Charlotte in their stadium,

1117
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 3: which is weird that the North Carolina is playing there,

1118
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 3: but that's their super Bowl. It also played last week,

1119
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 3: like during the weekday, so they have extra rest, extra

1120
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,359
Speaker 3: time to prepair, which is important with both of these

1121
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 3: teams which are brand new, and North Carolina looked completely lost,

1122
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 3: like after that opening script, it was bad. So I

1123
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 3: think i'd need over two touchdowns or fourteen plus, but

1124
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 3: just on the spot alone and the uncertainty, I think

1125
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta make North kind of prove they

1126
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 3: can win by two touchdowns on short rest with Charlotte

1127
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 3: Super Bowl extra rest here. They could just come out

1128
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 3: a little flatter than you might think.

1129
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: I know this Belichick loses this week. Uh, you're looking

1130
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: at a long season. I mean you might be talking

1131
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: like two win team, right, I mean they clearly would

1132
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: have no talent.

1133
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 3: H look at brand new team after they were national

1134
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 3: title contenders to Super and they went they won two games.

1135
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 3: North Carolina is not at that even at that tier,

1136
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: so it could happen.

1137
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: Let's dive into the league. Okay, I'm gonna start with

1138
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: some dogs. These games are ugly, but the morning slate,

1139
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: especially a week one there. You know, we don't have

1140
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: bye weeks some of that. We don't even have the

1141
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: double headers quite yet on Monday Night football. So we

1142
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of games early on. You got a

1143
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: lot of Carolina Jacksonville's. And that number jumps out to me,

1144
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: like I'm out on Jacksonville this year. I'm just like,

1145
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: I know, everyone's like William Cohen, Travis Hunter. We've seen

1146
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: this song and dance with so many different coaches, with

1147
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: so many different players. I just I'm just betting against

1148
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Now, listen, Carolina, what we saw down the stretch,

1149
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: was it a little of no one taking them seriously?

1150
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: Was it a little of Bryce actually might be pretty decent?

1151
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: Is their coach decent? Getting over a field goal in

1152
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: this game? Now? Still defensively is gonna have some issues.

1153
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: But I got a buddy that works on the staff.

1154
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: He's like our offensive line Carolina is fucking good. Like that.

1155
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: Their offensive line is good if Bryce is just solid

1156
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: now weapons wise, obviously, draft McMillan really high. You know,

1157
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: we'll see I've seen a lot of question marks still

1158
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: with Lagett. You get rid of what's his name, trade

1159
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: him to Minnesota, and then you bring back renfro which

1160
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: clearly didn't make your team because you didn't think he

1161
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: was good enough a week ago. So that's not ideal.

1162
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: But Carolina, plus, we're gonna have I'm doing it.

1163
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 3: I can't get there, mainly because I don't mind your

1164
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 3: line of thinking. I am a Liam Cohen guy. I mean,

1165
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 3: you look at the Kentucky teams of the last four

1166
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 3: years he was there. He had two stops, so it

1167
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 3: was the only time Kentucky's offense been good, but other

1168
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 3: times really bad. He saw him with the Bucks last year,

1169
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 3: it's really good. Last year's Jacksonville team was a joke,

1170
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 3: like just schematically the things that they were running in

1171
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 3: no motion, no platch, and no innovation, like he should

1172
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 3: be able to provide a bump. You said, you don't

1173
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 3: don't want to bet on Trevor Lawrence. If you do

1174
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 3: want to bet on Trevor Lawrence, I did bet anytime

1175
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 3: touchdown like four to one, you can find even a

1176
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 3: little better. There's word that they might be going to

1177
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 3: tush push on all short yard situations. So you can

1178
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 3: get four to one and they're gonna do toush push

1179
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 3: and Lawrence can run a little bit anyway, like sometime

1180
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 3: like a boot. He could run it in that way.

1181
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 3: But if they're gonna do toush push I near the

1182
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 3: goal line, that's a good bet in my opinion. But

1183
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 3: the thing that scares me the most about Carolina obviously

1184
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 3: their defense is terrible. It should be a little better

1185
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 3: this year because last year they were terrible and hurt,

1186
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 3: so you get guys like Derek Brown back. They're a

1187
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 3: little healthier, but it's still not a great defense. You

1188
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 3: mentioned the offense. The offense line, yes, is very underrated,

1189
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 3: very strong, but they might be without their left tackle.

1190
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 3: I think he's doubtful. Now Ikuanu their left guard, who's

1191
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 3: really good. Namian lewis super underrated, he's questionable. I think

1192
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 3: they're right guards even qut So, like the offensive line

1193
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 3: is on healthy and then you mentioned the weapons. You

1194
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 3: lose Feeling Coker, who they were gonna rely on, just

1195
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 3: got put on ir So now you need Lagats to hit,

1196
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 3: You need McMillan in his first start on the road

1197
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 3: to be good. And then like it's David Moore. So

1198
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, this offense, which was starting to

1199
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,479
Speaker 3: ascend last year, they need the offensive line which doesn't

1200
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 3: look like it's going to be fully put together, and

1201
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 3: then the weapons don't look as strong as they did

1202
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago. So that's a pass for me.

1203
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: But I did bet on Lawrence touchdown would lean over.

1204
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm a little afraid about the Carolina but with some

1205
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 3: of these injuries, but I think both these offense still

1206
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 3: score and this could be a higher scoring game. And

1207
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 3: you have the new kickoff rules. Field position could be

1208
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 3: much better this year and there could be a lot

1209
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 3: lot more exposive plays on them return, so that's something

1210
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 3: worth watching as well.

1211
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,959
Speaker 1: Okay, Giants Washington, are are you of the I guess

1212
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom that Washington's got a little regression in them

1213
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: last year after winning some of those crazy games.

1214
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they were. They went twenty of twenty

1215
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 3: three and fourth down. That is completely and obscene. It's

1216
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 3: like it's hard to even put into words how crazy

1217
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 3: that is because it's not like they had twenty three

1218
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 3: fourth and ones with the toush push and jails fourth

1219
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 3: and sixes and yeah, and that even with twenty of

1220
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,959
Speaker 3: twenty three for the Eagles on touch bushes, like that's

1221
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 3: like pretty good. Like you probably they're like ninety you know,

1222
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 3: eighty five ninety percent. They did that on just all

1223
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 3: fourth downs. A lot of them are fourth and five,

1224
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 3: fourth and four. They were throwing it a lot. There's

1225
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 3: just no no way. And think about they played in

1226
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 3: a bunch of close games, and they did well in

1227
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 3: close games. Think about all those four down Like if

1228
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 3: you take away like six or seven of those and

1229
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,959
Speaker 3: then you're still good on four down. But in close

1230
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 3: games like those swing entire games the win probability. And

1231
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 3: so yeah, they will probably due for some aggression. I

1232
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 3: still questions about the defense. I think the key's probably

1233
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 3: gonna be Latimore. What does he have left at corner?

1234
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 3: Is he washed? Is he bounced back? And because if

1235
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 3: they can have him as a lockdown corner, that does

1236
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 3: a lot more for quitting that defense. So I'll be

1237
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 3: curious to watch him against neighbors who torched them last year.

1238
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: But I well, really they did it. They did it

1239
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: with three guys right at Latimore was last year during

1240
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: the season. But then they instead of using cab space,

1241
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: which I don't I'm not against because who you're really

1242
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: buying in free agency, they trade for Debo, who's sixteen

1243
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: million dollars in a contract year that he could be

1244
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 1: washed or this is a rebound season. And Tunzel, while

1245
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: still good Casario I think pretty well established this point,

1246
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: pretty good at his job, was like I'm not gonna

1247
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: give this guy one hundred million dollar contract, so I'm

1248
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: punning right now, and Washington gohot. So they get Debo,

1249
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: they get Latimore, and they get Tunsl who are veteran

1250
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: guys who are you know, especially Debo and Tunnel are

1251
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:08,919
Speaker 1: gonna think like the time for me to get paid

1252
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: if I started doing well, that's this young, kind of

1253
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: vibrant locker room. Now it's like oldest team in the league.

1254
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: You bring back Ertz is Bobby Wagner still on the squad,

1255
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: so it's like you had Von Miller so for sexy

1256
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: as Jayden Daniels is like no one would argue against that.

1257
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: A lot of like interesting kind of dynamics in that

1258
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: locker room. That's not just like young and hungry, you know.

1259
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, fascinating, fascinating team to watch. But there there's definitely

1260
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 3: some some aggression. I mean, there's a team that won

1261
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 3: on a they won on a hell Mary against the

1262
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 3: Bears like that. That doesn't happen to ye sick, insane

1263
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 3: one of the Bears. The second just telem unbelievable, tawning fans,

1264
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 3: one of the funniest moments of the year. So yeah,

1265
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 3: there's some natural aggression. And historically Week one it's a

1266
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 3: dog week, divisional dogs, you know, you're talking and sixties

1267
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 3: sixty five percent depending on the timeframe you're looking. So yeah,

1268
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 3: I think the Giants are the only way you look here.

1269
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 3: I do think the Giants are a bit underrated coming

1270
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 3: in the year, Like I don't know how much Russ

1271
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 3: has left, but look at the quarterback situation last year,

1272
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 3: and this is a team that went was in a

1273
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 3: ton of close games. Still, the offensive line, you have

1274
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 3: your left tackle back that's big, so that the offensive

1275
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 3: line should be a little better. Then, Like defensively, this

1276
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 3: team could be feisty. I mean they have one of

1277
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 3: the best pass rushes on paper in the league. I

1278
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 3: like their safeties. You add Holland, I'm always been a

1279
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 3: NUBN guy since he came out of Minnesota last year.

1280
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 3: And then your corners, their cornerback two is still a

1281
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 3: major question, but you bolstered that room. So this Giants

1282
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 3: team could be feisty. And you know they have there's

1283
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 3: tape down on what this Daniel's offense is going to

1284
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 3: look like. There's some potential aggression. So yeah, I think

1285
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 3: the only way you can look there is the Giants.

1286
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: Well, I think there are two teams last year, the

1287
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: Giants and the Titans that if you just give them,

1288
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, like the middle of the road quarterback maybe

1289
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: slightly better like Dak Prescott what he'll probably be this year.

1290
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Someone like that. They go from drafting one and third

1291
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: overall to drafting like fourteenth. Right, they're not a playoff team,

1292
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: but they are on a weekly basis. If they're playing well,

1293
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: can beat anybody. Last year, I mean the Levis situation

1294
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 1: and the Daniel Jones getting cut in the middle of

1295
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,439
Speaker 1: the year, I mean it was it just couldn't get

1296
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: been much worse in the modern day NFL when your

1297
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: quarterback is that shitty, this is not college where, you know.

1298
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Texas even if arches average can win eight

1299
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: nine games with ease. Right in the NFL, if you

1300
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: get really bad quarterback player below average quarterback late, you're

1301
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna lose a lot of games. And I think the Giants,

1302
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm not a roughs guy, I do think is

1303
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. I don't know if it was shocking, but

1304
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: once it comes out that Jackson Dart is the number two.

1305
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: I saw Jordan Renan, who covers the team. He's like

1306
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: when you're at practice, Brian Dayball is by this guy's side.

1307
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 1: He's like a dog, you know, just falls around Jackson

1308
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: Dart and the other two guys just kind of do

1309
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: their own shit. It's pretty clear, like I don't know

1310
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: if they're gonna go to the bullpen in week one,

1311
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: but I what you're over under for Ussy and Jackson

1312
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: dark month.

1313
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it depends the Giants have tough schedules,

1314
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 3: so like there's a chance there's probably a good chance

1315
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 3: that they fall behind record wise, and then yeah, I

1316
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 3: think then he pulled the trigger.

1317
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: And Russ could just get hurt. I mean, he's older player,

1318
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: It's not like he's that mobile anymore. He takes a

1319
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 1: lot of sacks. I mean, I I my guess with

1320
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: this happens much sooner than later. This is Brian Daboll's

1321
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: hand pick guy. Clearly likes him a lot. He's in

1322
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 1: this weird dynamic of like kind of coaching for his job,

1323
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: but kind of if you're if you're the owner, do

1324
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: you let them hand pick a guy in the first

1325
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: round and then fire the coach who's a quarterback guy?

1326
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: Kind of in a weird spot.

1327
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, I think he if you go to

1328
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 3: Dart like it's all as it's not a complete disaster

1329
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 3: this year, I think you give him another year. And

1330
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 3: so I agree, let's see what you have. I think,

1331
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Dave All he's he wasn't putting a great

1332
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 3: spot like the this Giants team was ruined like cap

1333
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 3: On management wise, and like it was a disaster that

1334
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 3: he walked into. And then they had that one that

1335
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 3: what Daniel Jones somehow had that one year where he

1336
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 3: led them to the playoffs out of nowhere and won

1337
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 3: a game. So but yeah, I played. I did play

1338
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 3: the Titans week one. If you go back to say

1339
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 3: ninety six, four, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

1340
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 3: eight plus point favorites in week one, sixteen and thirty

1341
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,959
Speaker 3: six against the spread. So I mentioned it's a dog

1342
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 3: week like a lot of that. What's baked into this

1343
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 3: is that, Okay, the Broncos are going to be as

1344
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 3: dominant defensively as they were last year. On paper, yes

1345
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 3: they are, but that's not guaranteed. Like defenses are fickle

1346
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 3: year to year, year over year, so they might not be.

1347
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 3: And they were one of the twenty five best defenses

1348
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 3: from an EPA perspective over the last ten years. Twenty

1349
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 3: three of the previous twenty four dropped by an average

1350
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 3: of eight in the rankings from an EPA perspective. The

1351
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 3: next year. It's hard to maintain it though, hard to

1352
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 3: maintain that level of health. So we'll see. Think about

1353
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 3: last year. Just throw this out there. Going into last year,

1354
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 3: everyone was saying the Jets and the Browns defenses are

1355
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 3: two of the best. No, that didn't really play out

1356
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 3: that way. Their secondaries didn't play as well. There were

1357
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 3: some injuries, and so we don't know if Denver's going

1358
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 3: to be as dominant. And last year, look, they won

1359
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,959
Speaker 3: ten games, but they got their tenth win because Kansasity

1360
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 3: benched everyone. They only beat one playoff team all year.

1361
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 3: They went one and six against playoff teams. Like this

1362
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 3: is a big number to cover in the NFL with

1363
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 3: a small total like forty two. And yes, the Titans

1364
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 3: all they had they upgraded a quarterback with Cam Wore,

1365
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 3: and there's uncertainly there. It could be a disaster. It's

1366
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 3: a tough spot going to Denver and altitude. Week one.

1367
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 3: First start rookie quarterbacks have not had success. Number one

1368
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 3: draftings have not had success in their first start in

1369
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 3: the road. I think they're like six and twenty three,

1370
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 3: but they're usually on bad teams. They're about five hundred

1371
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 3: against the spread last year disasterrous quarterback play like a

1372
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 3: guy just giving the ball to the other team. So

1373
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 3: as long as Camwore doesn't do that, you're a step

1374
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 3: ahead the offensive line. Last year it wasn't all on

1375
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 3: Levis was uh does that so they bring in a

1376
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 3: left tackle, it allows Latham to go to right tackle.

1377
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 3: You bring in one of the better right guards. Four

1378
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 3: to five unit, really good offensive line coach. They should

1379
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 3: be much better there. So the offense is not just

1380
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 3: the complete Desentster defense is pretty good. It's like it

1381
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 3: can be a league average unit, especially if Snead can

1382
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 3: give them something as a number one corner.

1383
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: And then this didn't Simmons drop a bunch of weight

1384
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: to try to be a little bit more of a

1385
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 1: pass rusher than like one stuffing defensive lineman.

1386
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little a little quicker off the ball because

1387
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 3: you have now you have sweat there too. It's kind

1388
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 3: of like you can take that role. So, yeah, the

1389
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 3: defense has potential. And then something that a lot of

1390
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 3: people don't talk about last year with this tight team

1391
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 3: because they were just they were the worst against the

1392
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 3: spread team of all time. Their special teams are one

1393
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 3: of the worst in the history of the NFL. I mean,

1394
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 3: like middle school type plays that cost them games, cost

1395
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 3: them close games. They overhauled the whole unit. It's not

1396
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 3: going to be an elite special teams. But as long

1397
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 3: as you're not again like the quarterback giving away games,

1398
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 3: then you should be better there too. So yeah, I

1399
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 3: think that this in what profiles is a lower scoring game.

1400
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 3: I think cam wod can keep them in this game.

1401
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked. There's always one or there's gonna

1402
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 3: be a couple. There's gonna be a couple games this

1403
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 3: week where you're like every year where you're like, WHOA,

1404
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 3: how did that happen? If Tennessee won at Dender, wouldn't

1405
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 3: completely for me.

1406
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's different. I actually think Titans. I mean, if

1407
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 1: cam Ward is just like rookie of the year level good,

1408
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: the upgrade you would have from Levis to him is dramatic,

1409
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: and you can get him seven and one to make

1410
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, I think they you know, their

1411
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: their floor is much more seven or eight wins than

1412
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: what they were last year. I'm with you. I like

1413
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: the Titans just this year to be kind of feisty.

1414
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: But that's a lot betting on cam Ward, which you

1415
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: never truly know with the rookies. But I think it's

1416
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: a pretty good player. And I mean you watch some

1417
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks in college, like he was so good

1418
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: last year. I mean he was kind of he's a

1419
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,560
Speaker 1: different type player. But I mean, you have watched a

1420
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: lot of college football in your life. Like I'm not

1421
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 1: saying he's Jayden Daniels, but in terms of like carrying

1422
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: a team that was atrocious on defense, I mean, what

1423
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: do they win four or five wins if they just

1424
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: have an average quarterback play at Miami last year?

1425
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, to get that last wildcard spot. If cam

1426
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 3: Ward hits, I don't hate it. I played their win

1427
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 3: total over over five and a half. I think, yeah,

1428
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 3: like you said, floor is much higher, but yeah, this

1429
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 3: could be one of the shockers. There's probably gonna be one,

1430
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 3: maybe two every year.

1431
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: It was Patriots Bengals last year, right.

1432
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 3: Ptrix Bengals was last year. There's always gonna be a chockra.

1433
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 3: Like I said, eight plus point favorites in Week one

1434
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 3: sixteen and thirty six against the spread last thirty years.

1435
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: Okay, one team I liked a lot last year. I

1436
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: mean you get them like eight to one to get

1437
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: the number one seed that didn't hit because their offensive

1438
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: line and offensive coordinator in offense was just atrocious. I

1439
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: do think they're gonna be better on offense and defensively.

1440
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: You know, you talk to people in the league, if

1441
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: you just it's pretty clear when you just look at

1442
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: the talent. I mean they got two guys that are

1443
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: under twenty five that are top I don't know, fifteen

1444
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: twenty players in the league in will Anderson definitely dere

1445
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: I think Derek Stingley, you know, if you put him

1446
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys, on the Rams, on the Packer, I

1447
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: mean he would be considered, you know, like one of

1448
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: the Like the way we talked about revus Or Sherman.

1449
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a fucking elite like Sasce Garter is

1450
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: never gonna be good as him again, like they met

1451
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: at a fork in the road and Stingley hung the

1452
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: left and saus hoping to resurrect his career. Uh. And

1453
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: I just think Demiko is just like Mike McDonald, one

1454
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: of those coaches. If they were offensive coaches, we would

1455
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: discuss them way different. But we just discriminate a little

1456
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 1: bit against defensive guys there. It's not as sexy, especially

1457
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: younger ones right the way that we hype up Kevin

1458
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: O'Connell or you know, Lafleur and those type guys. I

1459
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: think Houston's gonna be really really good this year. And

1460
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: getting three points at LA. We got a lot of

1461
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: question marks at Stafford, you know, with this back, I mean,

1462
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 1: is it something that if he gets hit during the

1463
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: game it could happen. Is it something that's gonna catch

1464
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: up to him as the season goes. Obviously there's a

1465
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: lot of hype about the Rams before the Stafford back

1466
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,759
Speaker 1: situation propped up. Like you were saying, before we hit record,

1467
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the question mark still is going to be

1468
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Houston's offensive line. The one thing, you know, part of

1469
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: the reason Florida State suck last year is because Versus

1470
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Braden Fist disappeared and those two guys were awesome in

1471
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. So those two guys are ass kickers, and

1472
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: they already had what's his name from wake Forest they

1473
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: drafted the year before, who's a good player. So yeah,

1474
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I just like Houston in this spot, not

1475
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 1: saying they're gonna win. I'm not taking them to win

1476
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: the game outright, but you're getting three points. I think

1477
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Houston's gonna be one of my favorite bets of the year. Stucky.

1478
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: It's come down a little bit. It was plus one

1479
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: ten probably a month ago. It's like plus one oh

1480
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: five is just Houston to win that division. I just

1481
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing them. I think that would

1482
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: you know, the way the Ravens and the Bills get

1483
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: treated in their division, I think Houston should probably get

1484
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: that treatment. And I think a lot of it is

1485
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: some of that's the stench from the slow offense. I

1486
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a lot better this year.

1487
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the interesting storylines here, I mean the

1488
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 3: slow play calling, the timing of the plays. The first

1489
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 3: down play was so bad that wasn't all on him.

1490
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 3: The offensive line is also a mess, and they had

1491
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 3: wide receivers injuries which were killer last year. But I

1492
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 3: think from an off it's a coordinator perspective, huge upgrade.

1493
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 3: They bringing Nick Kelly. One of the good the interesting

1494
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 3: storylines of this game is he comes from the Rams

1495
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 3: convey guy who's the passing game coordinator last year. He's

1496
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 3: now their off coordinator. Upgrade clearly in my eyes. But

1497
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 3: who get who has the edge there? Like, so he

1498
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 3: knows the Rams defense was just the passing game coordinator.

1499
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 3: But this is a McVay offense that McVeigh knows we've

1500
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 3: had all off season. So that's interesting chess match. I think, yeah,

1501
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 3: you gotta take get three here. You got to take it.

1502
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 3: I think this profile is a lower scoring game. The

1503
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 3: Texans defense one of the best the NFL. You mentioned

1504
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 3: stinglying is certain. That's like the corner conversation there and

1505
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 3: their edge rushers. They have all the pieces on that defense.

1506
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 3: The one thing that concerns me with the Rams defense

1507
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 3: is always their their back end. But their front is

1508
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 3: really good. Their first team in NFL history to have

1509
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 3: their first their top four sack guys in a season

1510
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 3: be all first or second year players, which happened last year.

1511
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: So young. They hit on the draft. He's a wait

1512
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: Forest guy, right? Young? Yeah?

1513
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 3: They they they hit on the draft. They needed to

1514
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 3: because they were in a tough position. They went Look,

1515
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 3: they did it right. You gotta get Steve credit because

1516
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 3: they went out, they sacrificed their future on paper to

1517
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 3: get a Super Bowl. Got it and they were they

1518
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 3: were they were gonna be in a tough shape, rosterized

1519
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 3: depth wise, everything unless they hit on their draft picks

1520
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 3: specific of defense, and they did so. That front is

1521
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 3: really good and the biggest concern for Houston coming into

1522
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 3: the year. They upgraded. Their weapons should be healthier, they

1523
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 3: upgrade to the offense coordinator should be better from a

1524
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 3: play cang perspective, But the offensive line, did they upgrade it?

1525
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. It could have got worse. It's hard

1526
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 3: to be worse than it was last year, but major

1527
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 3: questions there. So that's gonna be the biggest question. So

1528
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 3: Los Angeles could really dictate the line of scrimmage when

1529
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 3: they're on defense. It might be tough sledding for the

1530
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 3: Houston offense. But on the other side of the ball,

1531
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 3: I don't see this Rams offense coming out firing. And

1532
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 3: we have a ton of data that says quarterbacks that

1533
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 3: don't play in the preseason, also that we're dealing with injuries.

1534
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 3: I mean, look at Joe Burrow over the last couple

1535
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 3: of years, was fit that same exach Molton. He's a

1536
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 3: lot younger and right at this point, better than Matt Stafford.

1537
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 3: It's a struggle early timing, and especially at Stafford's age.

1538
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't be shocked if that offense looks extremely

1539
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 3: clunky early on, and who knows the back it could

1540
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 3: flare up and he might not finish the game. It's

1541
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 3: gonna be something that's at his age with that injury

1542
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 3: all year long, it's gonna be an issue. So we'll

1543
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:40,759
Speaker 3: see how the Rams handle that left tackles. Also concerned

1544
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 3: for the Rams, I don't. I think Jackson might play.

1545
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 3: But another thing that's gonna be storyline all year long.

1546
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 3: Really good left tackle got paid, he's got blood clocks

1547
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 3: cost him. I think eight games twenty twenty two, that

1548
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 3: could be a problem, something worth monitoring. I think there

1549
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 3: it's probably be a gay. They'll make the decision this weekend.

1550
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 3: I might in this something today, but that's something worth noting.

1551
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 3: But this Profiles is a lower scoring game, So yeah,

1552
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 3: taking the points here makes sense, especially with the uncertainty

1553
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 3: with Stafford. So I would agree with you. Matchup to

1554
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 3: watch does that that coordinator battle that new offense coordinator

1555
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 3: against mcday knowing each other, and then how how does

1556
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 3: this Texans offensive line hold up? And it's not like

1557
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 3: the rests of it made a crazy home field advantage,

1558
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 3: so it's like home field doesn't and there's a travel

1559
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 3: like they've known this game. So yeah, I think you

1560
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 3: got to take the points here. And I would look

1561
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 3: under as well.

1562
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 1: I think my favorite long shot division winner bet because

1563
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: I think I don't. I don't really like any of

1564
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,720
Speaker 1: them except Seattle at like five to one who went

1565
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: ten to seven last year. Who you know, their coach

1566
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: is good. They get Kubiak, who, I mean, through the

1567
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: first two games last year with the Saints looked like

1568
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: he was his dad just I mean, I think clearly

1569
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: knows offensive football and that is very quarterback friendly. Bring

1570
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: in Sam Donald. Uh they have a couple talented running

1571
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 1: backs there. Their defense on paper, with some young and

1572
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: interesting guys fall college football could be excellent. Now I'm

1573
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: not saying that, you know, the Niners somehow are still favored.

1574
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: I think that that's a little bit of what has

1575
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: happened in the past more than now. Not saying they

1576
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: can't do it, but their margin for air pretty top

1577
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: heavy team, you know, with a lot of young, random

1578
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: question marks. They're trying to do what the Rams did

1579
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: two years ago, right, reset the roster building with pieces

1580
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: and we just don't we just don't know. Uh So

1581
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: to me, five to one with Seattle is by far

1582
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: to me the best long shot. This game's a little weird.

1583
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 1: I think the Niners are gonna have a huge I mean,

1584
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: they were such an embarrassment last year in the Vision.

1585
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 1: Remember what they lose like four games where they had

1586
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: leads in the fourth quarter to all three teams, but

1587
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 1: specifically Seattle. They had a bad loss of Seattle at home.

1588
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,560
Speaker 1: The DK back calf score a touchdown. Geno's like celebrating

1589
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: on their field. U Now, granted he's gone, but I

1590
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: don't know. This is to me is a stay away

1591
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: because the Niners are getting cup, you know, are favored

1592
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: on the road, which to me feels a little off.

1593
01:18:58,479 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 3: Uh.

1594
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: But whenever I bet on the Niners, I lose. Whatever

1595
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: I bet against him, I lose. So I don't even know.

1596
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm saying it. But this game is one

1597
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: of the better games the weekend.

1598
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 3: That it's a good overtime. So yeah that who's I mean?

1599
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 3: Last year of the forty hours was so unlucky from

1600
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 3: an injury perspective, which it seems to happen. Who's the

1601
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 3: their strengthened, strengthened training coach has been there for like

1602
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 3: six years. But is there any I had not saying

1603
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 3: it's their fault, but this is all but one year

1604
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 3: where they've been like one of the most injured teams

1605
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 3: in the league. Do you have any thoughts there? Like

1606
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 3: why does this happen every year?

1607
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: It seem I mean I think they have draft like

1608
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: they drafted Ricky Piersoll, who had some shoulder injuries, and

1609
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: then he gets there and he's got shoulder injuries, right,

1610
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: And you know, they just sometimes draft some guys that

1611
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: have been injured. And then the quote, you know, Nick

1612
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: Bosa was hurt in college and they got hurt again

1613
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: in the pros. You know, I mean they and they do,

1614
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: like Kyle really likes physical players, and it's like, yeah,

1615
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 1: they wear and tear on these guys. Body. You're Trent's older,

1616
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: but McCaffrey's been hurt a lot, you know, so he

1617
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: gets hurt there. And the other thing is Kyle's not

1618
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 1: really a big like let's rotate our guys. You know,

1619
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: it's like Jesus, give us some of these guys a blow. Now.

1620
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: By all accounts, Kittle's really healthy, mccaffre's really healthy, Trent's

1621
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: really healthy, Boast is really healthy, Warren is really healthy.

1622
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 1: They love piersall. Remember last year, offensively, I think we

1623
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: view ah shitty last year they were actually really good

1624
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty. They were just terrible in the red zone. Yeah,

1625
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: now I think they're high on Piersoll. Juwan Jennings a

1626
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: little happier now you're yeah, it gets and got his

1627
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: three million dollars. The calf injuries kind of like the

1628
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons were actually goes away. But I do think

1629
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: it kind of comes down to Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey.

1630
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: If you tell me they play fifteen of the seventeen games,

1631
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: I think they'll be okay. If you tell me one

1632
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 1: of those guys miss half the season the other guy's

1633
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: banged up, I'd say there'd be in some trouble. Yeah.

1634
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: The Seahawks, Uh, Saul's back. That helps.

1635
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they've needed him, it's not gonna be an

1636
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 3: enormous skim out of change. A lot of a lot

1637
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 3: of the other coaches still on staff. They just needed

1638
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 3: his voice and presence for years. So I think that's

1639
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 3: a good marriage. Their defense is gonna come down to

1640
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 3: their offense gonna go out of his health, as you mentioned,

1641
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 3: and then their defense is like all these guys like

1642
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 3: I don't I'm looking at the rosst they could start

1643
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 3: Nick Martin. I don't think it's gonna start, but they could.

1644
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: They like they like him, he's he'll he'll end up.

1645
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:16,639
Speaker 1: I bet in a couple of years be a really

1646
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: good player, but I mean depending on him as a rookie.

1647
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 1: The kid from Georgia, mikell.

1648
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 3: Now, who I like, his size is the question mark when.

1649
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: He's one hundred and twenty pounds.

1650
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna see if you can hold up in

1651
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 3: the nickel. Uh, you're gonna get missed offfa back eventually.

1652
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 3: I know a lot of forty undersons Sonting like.

1653
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: Brown Lanier's a good Leonor is a good player obviously.

1654
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: You know There'scaro Green from Florida State. When he played

1655
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: had showed promise, but he's been banged up.

1656
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's like three or four rookies that if

1657
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 3: they hit this defense could be really good. If they're bad,

1658
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 3: you're gonna need the offense to be good and stay healthy.

1659
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 3: So yeah, there's some variants there. The Cardinals do they

1660
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 3: not fade away like they do every year, and then

1661
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 3: the Rams with Stafford could be hurt, might not make

1662
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 3: it through the So yeah, this could the Seahawks take

1663
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 3: advantage possibly. I think now look like taking a step back.

1664
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 3: Ryan Grubb like to bor if we're gonna start the

1665
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 3: question them, I mean Pennix. But by the way, that

1666
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 3: the Falcons this week. How much did Penix help them?

1667
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 3: And then last year the offense really wasn't that great

1668
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 3: of a fit Schematically. I love some of the things

1669
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 3: Kubiak does. Their offensive line is a big question. But

1670
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 3: they seem to have hit on Zabel, that kid from

1671
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 3: North Dakota State, and like they've hit on some of

1672
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 3: these guys who really they run the same type of

1673
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 3: run blocking scheme in North Dakota State that Kubiak wants

1674
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 3: to run. So it was like a really natural fit

1675
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 3: and they look like they hit some of those guys.

1676
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 3: So their offense could be better than many expected. And yeah,

1677
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 3: this is gonna be a top ten defense as long

1678
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 3: as they stay healthy under McDonald. So h yeah, do you.

1679
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: Think Seattle's a playoff team not necessarily win the division?

1680
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: But are like are you viewing those.

1681
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 3: No, they're close, they're fringe a lot of it, but

1682
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 3: like they have could. I don't mind the bet to

1683
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 3: win the division because there's a lot of variance with

1684
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 3: some of these other teams. The Niners defense and health,

1685
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 3: Stafford's health, and then you know the Cardinals like Kyler,

1686
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 3: the next step does Kyler fade away? And the second

1687
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 3: half like every year. So yeah, that they're they're close,

1688
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 3: Like it's gonna come down to pack. Can they protect

1689
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 3: Darnald enough that the pass protection when he needs to throw.

1690
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 3: That's what I worry about it he doesn't have Darnald

1691
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 3: doesn't have the same weapons like kupp Is. He's not

1692
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 3: what he once was. He doesn't have the same weapons

1693
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 3: that he had in Minnesota, So that we might concern there,

1694
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 3: but there could be massive upside with with this Kubiak

1695
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 3: and like, so, yeah, very interesting game. I will say

1696
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 3: I don't expect a ton of explosive plays in this game,

1697
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 3: like so that the forty nine ers right now they

1698
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:49,839
Speaker 3: don't have their full complement of weapons, and the Seahawks

1699
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 3: defense is really good and good at taking away explosive plays.

1700
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 3: And then if you look at the Seahawks offense, it's

1701
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 3: like there's no dk Metcalf to go down the field.

1702
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 3: They're gonna rely on the run game. There's gonna be

1703
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 3: a lot of running in this game. So I don't

1704
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,560
Speaker 3: mind the under but I will say I'm probably not

1705
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,640
Speaker 3: gonna bet at pregame. What's probably gonna happen here is

1706
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 3: I would expect Kubiak to have a good game script here,

1707
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna have them at home hyped up

1708
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 3: against you know, young defense. I could see Seattle going

1709
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,759
Speaker 3: down and score a touchdown. Shanahan one of the best

1710
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 3: in the NFL, if not the best at opening game script.

1711
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 3: I could see that all off season. I could see

1712
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers going down clinically scoring a touchdown.

1713
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 3: At seven to seven in the first quarter, total live

1714
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 3: total goes up, I'll probably look at taking a live

1715
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 3: under because then I can see that game dying and

1716
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 3: this becomes more of a running possession battle. So if

1717
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 3: this gets the three, i'd take Seattle two and a half,

1718
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 3: probably passed, but would look at a live under there.

1719
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 3: And I don't hate the Seattle take a shot for

1720
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 3: the division game with the combo of Kubiak and McDonald.

1721
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 3: The only the longest.

1722
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: Kid Kittles own Seattle, and they drafted that kid in

1723
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: the second round from South Carolina. Who's is Kyle Hamilton? Right?

1724
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I mean where he's They're gonna use him

1725
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:08,759
Speaker 3: like Hamilton really really impressive players, So yeah, just another

1726
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 3: piece for McDonald to work with. The only long shot

1727
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 3: I took division wise is disgusting. It's the Giants at

1728
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 3: thirty to one, probably has no prayer, would need help,

1729
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 3: would need like hurts or Barkley to get hurt right,

1730
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 3: Washington to regressed hard. You know, the Cowboys trading Parson's helped.

1731
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 3: But it's like they're gonna win a ton of close games,

1732
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 3: have a ton of things go their way, and then

1733
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 3: like Washington and Philly with injuries, like fall behind. But

1734
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 3: maybe Dart is like the guy they bring him in

1735
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 3: and he ends up beating. So there's some variants there,

1736
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 3: and I think the defense will be really good. That's

1737
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 3: a lot I would not recommend following along on that,

1738
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 3: but that is the longest division shot that I played.

1739
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: That is sick.

1740
01:25:46,960 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 2: Oh material, Yeah, okay, let's let's get to the to

1741
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 2: the to the main event.

1742
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 1: We got night game Bills Ravens. This thing they played

1743
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,600
Speaker 1: multiple times last year. Obviously, the Ravens worked him in

1744
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 1: the one game at home, which was a pretty big moment,

1745
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: and then obviously the Bills somehow pulled that game out

1746
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 1: of their ass in the second round of playoffs last year,

1747
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 1: which was, you know, one of the best wins in

1748
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: the franchise in you know, decades. It was a big,

1749
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: big win. I don't really know what to make of

1750
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: this game. You were telling me before obviously the Bills,

1751
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, the first round rookie from Kentucky, he's been

1752
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: banged up and he's not playing this game. Trey White.

1753
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: Did he get hurt in practice? So he I mean,

1754
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: so now he granted he's hurt a lot and he

1755
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: was older player bringing him back. But you it's easy

1756
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: to root for when you're watching hard Knock, You're like, yeah,

1757
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: this is coming on home. This is sweet. He just

1758
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: seems like a good guy. Clearly that kind of fell

1759
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: fell apart. It just feels like when they're playing, it's

1760
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: almost like in a boxing match if a dude that

1761
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: weighed like one hundred and seventy pounds was playing, was

1762
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: fighting the guy that was like two hundred and twenty pounds,

1763
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: but that one seventy pounder is just like, you don't

1764
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: want to bet against him, but he should not win

1765
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: this fight. That's kind of what it feels like when

1766
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: they're both on the field at the same time. But

1767
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: they got like a crazy right hook and that's just

1768
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, So it's like he can just keep him

1769
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,719
Speaker 1: in the game. But it just doesn't feel like the Bills,

1770
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:20,799
Speaker 1: guy for guy removed the quarterback. It's even that close,

1771
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 1: does it?

1772
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean the Ravens are probably better. I mean,

1773
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 3: the Bill's offensive line is better, but the Ravens from

1774
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 3: a whole roster perspective are better now the rookie, they're

1775
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,759
Speaker 3: gonna have a new kicker, Tucker who fell off anyway,

1776
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 3: So that's that's worth watching that I'm interested in As

1777
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 3: a Ravens fan myself, I always and I can sympathize.

1778
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 3: I deal, he's a forty nine Ers fan. We did

1779
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 3: one of the things last year that was a disasters

1780
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 3: or special teams dealing with Moody. But I had like

1781
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 3: ten fifteen years where you just were like, Okay, we're

1782
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 3: gonna make this kick, which is a very nice feeling

1783
01:27:58,240 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 3: because most NFL it.

1784
01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:00,679
Speaker 1: Was pretty rare. It's pretty rare.

1785
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we'll see how that works out for the

1786
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 3: For the Ravens who had a they fell off special teams,

1787
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 3: like the first time they didn't finish in the top

1788
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 3: ten in fifteen years. Part of that was Tucker falling off.

1789
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, these two teams, like I had, the Rings

1790
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 3: had the better roster. I haven't powered to hire number

1791
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 3: one Tho're the most like complete roster in the NFL

1792
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 3: right now and then, But you know, you get the

1793
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 3: Bill's home field avantage and the Bills do it. Don't

1794
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 3: lose at home. Over the last three seasons. They lost

1795
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 3: twice at home.

1796
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:30,799
Speaker 1: That's it, Jesus.

1797
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 3: They lost to the Vikings one year in a weird

1798
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 3: game by like one, I think, and then the Broncos

1799
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 3: in a really weird game I think, in overtime by three.

1800
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 3: Like that's it. Those are the two games they lost

1801
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 3: at home.

1802
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: And it wasn't the that Vikings game. Weren't they down

1803
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: big and Cousins. That was when Justin Jefferson one handed catch,

1804
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: remember that and there was.

1805
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 3: Like a big review. Yeah that that that game was crazy.

1806
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 3: So that's it. That's the only games they've lost at

1807
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 3: home in the regular season. But the I mean, so

1808
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 3: I get the Bills respect home field advantage. Hardball, by

1809
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 3: the way, is the most profitable coach in Week one

1810
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 3: in NFL history. I think he's They're twelve and five

1811
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,759
Speaker 3: against the spread, really good with prep, really good Week one,

1812
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 3: So they'll be ready the team that knocked them out

1813
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 3: last year, whatever, The Bills will be ready to that's

1814
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 3: narrative street, but I think the Ravens are in better

1815
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 3: shape roster wise. It's hard to bet against Allen at home.

1816
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 3: Usually when either of these two quarterbacks are a dog,

1817
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 3: you take them. The Ravens are a dog. Now the

1818
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 3: Ravens are favored, So I think the Ravens win this game.

1819
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 3: Do I really want to go bet at now that

1820
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 3: they're favored? Probably not. I have to have too much

1821
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 3: respect for Alan. This is what about. I'm projected right

1822
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 3: where this is now because the Bills are beat up

1823
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 3: and they have a couple guys they added in free

1824
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 3: agency on the defensive line who were suspended the first

1825
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 3: four to six games of the year. They're gonna be

1826
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 3: death pieces, but they'll contribute. That's no worthy. But they're

1827
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 3: still fine. They they have a lot of depth of defense. Fine.

1828
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 3: The most important thing, it's their secondary. That's the biggest

1829
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:57,360
Speaker 3: question coming into the year. Every year for the last

1830
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 3: I mean, the Bills have average twelve point two wins,

1831
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 3: were the last since COVID, and they have no Super

1832
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:03,640
Speaker 3: Bowl appearance to show for it because their defense left

1833
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 3: him down, specifically the secondary. Ken they put it all together.

1834
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 3: Their safeties very big question mark. Again this year. Right,

1835
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:14,559
Speaker 3: there's no hide anymore, like there's no Poyer. It's can

1836
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 3: Bishop and Rat be the guys in the back end

1837
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:20,639
Speaker 3: and then the cornerback room, there's a major question mark.

1838
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 3: You drafted Harriston out of Kentucky's now and I are

1839
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna need him. Hit Trey White way past his prime.

1840
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 3: He's hurt. Didn't practice again today. Christian Bedford one of

1841
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 3: the better corners in the NFL, really good fit for

1842
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 3: that scheme. He didn't practice yesterday. I think he returned

1843
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 3: today that I just read five minutes ago. But it's

1844
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 3: a groin. I don't know if he's gonna go. If

1845
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 3: he can't go, you're talking about a questionable safety room.

1846
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 3: I think they would start. I don't know for sure,

1847
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 3: but I don't even know he's on the rock, like

1848
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 3: I know every roster inside and out. I think it's

1849
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 3: Dorian Strong, a rookie from BOTECH. I don't even know

1850
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 3: who the other corner is. That's because you have Ben,

1851
01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 3: you have Arren Johnson. The nickel was real good about

1852
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 3: it down your last but he's really good. I don't

1853
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 3: even know the other corner would be if both him

1854
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 3: are out because now you're down your top three corners

1855
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 3: on the outside. It's probably rookies. That's bad news against

1856
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 3: the Ravens. So yeah, the injury situation is definitely worth monitoring.

1857
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 3: That's why the line is flipped. I think the Ravens

1858
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:17,640
Speaker 3: win this game. But I do have a ton of

1859
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 3: respect for Allen. If Down guides his team down opening

1860
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 3: drive touchdown, I'll bet in the Ravens lide. I'll tell

1861
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 3: you that. And you want to bet narrative street Mark

1862
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 3: Andrews touchdown anytime, touchdown like two to one. He fumbled

1863
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 3: the game away last year against the Bills. The Bills

1864
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 3: can't cover tight ends questions in safety. Now there's cornerback questions.

1865
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to help on the outside way more.

1866
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna open the middle of the field up. Likely's hurt Mark,

1867
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 3: you know, I just know. Knowing the Ravens harball, I

1868
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 3: can already he wants to get Andrews in the end zone,

1869
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 3: probably early, to shake those demons off from last year.

1870
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 3: Stark fresh Andrews which killing himself all off season because

1871
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 3: of this. They're gonna try to get him the en zone.

1872
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean it's a lock, but two to one. I

1873
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 3: think it's worth a flywer. I can already see like

1874
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 3: him Harball laughing and like hugging him after he gets

1875
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 3: in the end zone that all the team surrounds him

1876
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,600
Speaker 3: like they're gonna try to have that moment. So and

1877
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 3: it's a good matchup for him, So I think that's

1878
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 3: worth a bet. But really fascinating game. Generally speaking, you

1879
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,839
Speaker 3: get one of these, any of these quarterbacks as an underdog,

1880
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 3: you take them. So I couldn't fault anyone for taking

1881
01:32:22,960 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 3: either side. Like you you're gonna say, like, hey, even

1882
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 3: if you give me a point and a half with

1883
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 3: Allen at home, I'm taking it. I just think these

1884
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 3: bills injuries on defense are probably too much, especially given

1885
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 3: that the roster was already a step behind the Ravens overall.

1886
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:38,840
Speaker 1: And what you're saying. They do a little of the

1887
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak stuff with Mark.

1888
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's also could get in any time touchdown

1889
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 3: he you get in. Lamar doesn't do the tush push

1890
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 3: quarterback sneaks, So every once in a while, though motion

1891
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 3: andrews like you'll see it on the fourth down, the

1892
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 3: Lamar will being shotgun. It's like fourth inches and I'm like,

1893
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:02,599
Speaker 3: oh my god, because there's nothing that makes me anger

1894
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 3: than shotgun. The mart usually gets it, but snapping the

1895
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 3: ball five yards back on fourth inches, but then you'll

1896
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 3: see fourth inches of Mar' shotg on Andrews will come motion,

1897
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 3: get under center, quick snap. So they could do that

1898
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 3: at the goal line for sure, And this game, after

1899
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,600
Speaker 3: what happened last year, you want to get Andrews in

1900
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 3: the end zone. Probably a higher likelihood of that happening

1901
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 3: at the goal line as well.

1902
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 1: I think I think John Harbaugh saw when the Mahomes

1903
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 1: did that sneak and that kneecap came out. He's like,

1904
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,679
Speaker 1: we ain't ever risking that as long as I'm here.

1905
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Andy hasn't done it since.

1906
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he's sneaked it no one time since.

1907
01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 1: I do think the quarterback sneak. Some guys are good

1908
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: at it. You know, Brady was really good and some

1909
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,599
Speaker 1: guy you could tell arch In fairness, it's not a

1910
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 1: play you really practice. It's kind of an instinctive. You

1911
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 1: either got it, like Jalen Hurt's probably been natural if

1912
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: that since he was like seven years old. Quarterback sneak

1913
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 1: and you just feel comfortable. Some guys are just like you.

1914
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,759
Speaker 1: We were talking before Drew Brees like it takes some balls.

1915
01:33:57,960 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 1: Drew's not the biggest guy. I mean he's leaping over

1916
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:03,640
Speaker 1: three twenty pounders putting that ball over now linebackers, you know,

1917
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 1: like Troy Paul. He was unfazed, fearless.

1918
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean the two best, by the way, Yeah,

1919
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 3: it's weird how some guys are good at it. The

1920
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 3: two best in the NFL history with a sample size

1921
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 3: from a success right standpoint I purchased probably out there.

1922
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:23,640
Speaker 3: I haven't looked at this in a year or two

1923
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 3: as historically, but going back ways, the two best were Brady,

1924
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,920
Speaker 3: who was like automatic and not the biggest guy, uh

1925
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 3: just knew knew how to do it. And Joe Flacco.

1926
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco with the Ravens for like ten years, was

1927
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 3: automatic on quarterback sneaks. So you can't even look at

1928
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 3: a guy and know, but once you see them do it,

1929
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, he's a good atitor is not like,

1930
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 3: but you can't if you put like ten quarterbacks in

1931
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,759
Speaker 3: a room and like with their body types, height, no clue,

1932
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:58,680
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be able to tell. But some guys have

1933
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 3: the knack and know how to do it, and some

1934
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:05,240
Speaker 3: guys just don't. But Brady and Flacco were always, uh,

1935
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 3: the elite, like ninety ninety three percent of the time,

1936
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:12,080
Speaker 3: they were gonna get it. So but yeah, it should

1937
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:15,000
Speaker 3: be a fun game on a fun weekend.

1938
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: I guess I won't talk to you still after Monday

1939
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 1: night football. You got kleb making his debut with Ben

1940
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 1: Johnson against Flores. I guess Ben Johnson obviously has experience

1941
01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:31,959
Speaker 1: coaching against Flores. But this combination, you know, the Vikings,

1942
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 1: you have the Ravens, Power Raiders, the best roster in

1943
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,160
Speaker 1: the league. I would imagine you have the Vikings pretty high,

1944
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: don't you, guy for guy non quarterback.

1945
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the question is the quarterback with them.

1946
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 1: But just remove if we just remove every quarterback from

1947
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: every team, just do roster for roster. There they top

1948
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:47,639
Speaker 1: two or three roster in the league.

1949
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 3: Help. Yeah, removing quarterbacks. They got the receivers now, receivers

1950
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 3: not in as good as shape right now.

1951
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,200
Speaker 1: Assuming they're healthy and not suspended and stuff.

1952
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the offensive line elite. They added Mason in the

1953
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 3: running back room, so I thinks the boards the running

1954
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 3: back round is really good. The defense added to the

1955
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 3: defensive line secondary has questions. They got to make up

1956
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 3: for that schematically. That's where they're like a step behind

1957
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 3: the Ravens, who have just like five first round draft

1958
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,400
Speaker 3: picks in their secondary. But they're up there, and then

1959
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 3: everything's gonna come down to the quarterback who's basically a

1960
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:22,000
Speaker 3: rookie compared to like a multiple MVP Award winner. But yeah,

1961
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 3: their roster's up there, Flores, and they're coaching. They have

1962
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 3: arguably the best coaching combo. Like now you can put

1963
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:35,520
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers up there, chiefs and uh yeah, chiefs,

1964
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 3: but they're they're you have O'Connell calling the offense, and

1965
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,640
Speaker 3: we've seen what O'Connell could do with all kinds of quarterbacks. Like,

1966
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 3: so that's that's got to be. It gives you at

1967
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 3: least to feel safe for your Viking stand with McCarthy,

1968
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,080
Speaker 3: and then you have Flora's the Mad Scientists. Defensively, I

1969
01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 3: will say Johnson has gotten the better of him over

1970
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 3: the past couple of years. This is a perfect litmus

1971
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,160
Speaker 3: test for Caleb Williams. The Bears roster is pretty good

1972
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 3: as well. It's just gonna come down to does Williams take

1973
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:06,720
Speaker 3: the next step or is he so in order to

1974
01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 3: beat this Flora's defense, What did Goff do? It's you're

1975
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 3: he's sending pressure, blitzing. Gof's getting rid of the ball quick,

1976
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 3: getting into his playmakers in space. It's gonna be well schemed.

1977
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 3: So that's what's gonna happen here. We're gonna bring pressure,

1978
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 3: They're gonna be blitzing. Does Williams is he able to

1979
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 3: process and understand the offense? Understand his reids, not pat

1980
01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 3: the ball, not fail, and Kenny command the offense is

1981
01:37:34,479 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 3: a perfect test. It's like, Okay, you have Johns. We're

1982
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 3: gonna learn so much about did Williams progress? Did he

1983
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 3: grasp this offense? Is this Bears team gonna be a

1984
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 3: real player in that division because you're going up against

1985
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:48,839
Speaker 3: the Flores. You have Johnson, who's that success against Flores,

1986
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 3: knows how to call an offense there, knows how to

1987
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 3: put a quarterback in position to have success. Ken Williams

1988
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:56,880
Speaker 3: do it, Kenny make Now you're not not trying to

1989
01:37:56,880 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 3: make the superhuman play every once in a while. Yeah

1990
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:00,519
Speaker 3: you can do that, but Kenny at actually make the

1991
01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 3: quick read, make the right throw, understand what the defense

1992
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 3: is doing what Johnson wants him to do, So I

1993
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,840
Speaker 3: can't wait to watch to see how far along he's

1994
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:15,200
Speaker 3: calm under Johnson. And that chess match between Johnson and Flores,

1995
01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 3: which is always fun.

1996
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 1: It's the best game of the week from a podcast

1997
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: sports radio stamp. Oh yeah, hot takes because because even

1998
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 1: Bills and Ravens, it's like, oh, it's Bills gets It's

1999
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 1: all They're both gonna be good, you know, even nin

2000
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 1: er Seattle, it's like, let it play out, they'll be fine. Good,

2001
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 1: goching this. There are a lot of unknowns and there's

2002
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: a lot.

2003
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 3: Of your Cliff on Twitter going viral Tyson badget Hale

2004
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 3: Williams is done when they lose thirty eight nothing So.

2005
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 1: Well, you agree, it's a little weird how the head

2006
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 1: coach constantly talked up the backup and then they gave

2007
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 1: him a random extension. Now, you could argue from a

2008
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 1: value standpoint, it's not crazy, little weird to do when

2009
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 1: you still have an unknown with the number one overall

2010
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: pick a quarterback and then you're like, okay, that second

2011
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:02,080
Speaker 1: preseason game happens. But you go, well, if you look

2012
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: at the Bills and Chiefs in the second preseason game,

2013
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 1: they clearly are hard charging in practice and their guys

2014
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 1: are done and then they don't even play their starters.

2015
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 1: But by the third preseason game, the Chiefs are a

2016
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:14,640
Speaker 1: good example. They treat that kind of seriously and they

2017
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:16,800
Speaker 1: tried and Ben Johnson was like, this is an embarrassment.

2018
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 1: What the fuck was that? So you're like, it's just

2019
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: a little just unknown. I'm not writing Caleb off, but

2020
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: let's face it, his style of play unless he can

2021
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:29,080
Speaker 1: change it, which is much more Deshaun Watson, Russell Wilson,

2022
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: which is the antithesis of what Ben Johnson clearly is

2023
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 1: looking for. A couple steps, get rid of the ball,

2024
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:37,120
Speaker 1: do what I tell you to do. It's why you

2025
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:37,800
Speaker 1: love Jared Goff.

2026
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:40,759
Speaker 3: It's also the same way in New York with the Jets.

2027
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 3: Not someone who came from the line staff justin Fields

2028
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 3: does not fit that line.

2029
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a disaster than some offense.

2030
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 3: So Fairs are a little better shape roster wise, yeah,

2031
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 3: and Williams a little better than Fields, but same kind

2032
01:39:56,560 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 3: of thing. Like Ken Ken. They mold Williams, well, you

2033
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 3: want to keep some of those traits, but for sure,

2034
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 3: can they rain him in enough to operate this offense.

2035
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fascinating to watch. That's what that whole

2036
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 3: division is going to be a fascinating watch.

2037
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:12,680
Speaker 1: Well, I was flowing when I'll get you out here

2038
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 1: on the last flying to Hawaii, and I watched I

2039
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:17,519
Speaker 1: downloaded like the first half of that game. And you

2040
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: watch Mahomes, I think what makes Mahomes so awesome? And

2041
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: you watch them against the Bears, and it was a

2042
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 1: preseason game, but the Chiefs clearly like focused, like it

2043
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: was like, we want to get some real reps here.

2044
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,160
Speaker 1: He can make the spectacular play, but he can also

2045
01:40:30,240 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: just like on third and six, knows how to get

2046
01:40:32,160 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: rid of the ball, can diagnose. It's just like he's

2047
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 1: just playing quarterback. Now, I'm not comparing Caleb Williams to Mahomes,

2048
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: but ultimately to be the quote unquote playmaking guy. What

2049
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes does it's so great is he can also do

2050
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:46,679
Speaker 1: the easy shit. That's why Peyton tom with his eyes

2051
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: close and you gotta be able to You can't function

2052
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:50,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL when you can't do the easy shit.

2053
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 1: It's impossible to be good teams. It's impossible to beat

2054
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 1: random teams if it's like, well, you just third and eight.

2055
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:57,840
Speaker 1: He wasn't even close. He fucking went to the wrong spot.

2056
01:40:58,000 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 1: You're fucked.

2057
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so much. Teams are making you drive

2058
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:07,679
Speaker 3: the field consistently now taking away explosive plays more more,

2059
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 3: you know, too high safety looks changing. It's hard. Look

2060
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 3: at the Chiefs off The Chiefs offense is not explosive.

2061
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 3: In order to drive them, you're gonna have to hit

2062
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 3: some of those easy throws. You're gonna have to execute consistently,

2063
01:41:18,439 --> 01:41:20,600
Speaker 3: otherwise you're gonna kill way too many drives.

2064
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: Okay, stucky, you know how coaches talk like we I

2065
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: don't sleep much Monday through Friday. I feel the same way.

2066
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,760

01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:33,599
