1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Park it right here, everybody, it's time for the tailgate. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's me Joey P joe P Zapeta, and I'm here 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: with my two best friends, Andrew Ericson, mister Big Pot Energy, 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: and Deebro Derek Brown, the King of Ros. But here's 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: the problem. I'm in a toxic relationship with these two yahoos. 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: You know why because somehow on the last show in 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: the Powell Ranks of the AFC, I got caught in 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: a trap defending the honor of Daniel Jones. I mean, 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't get any lower than that. I can't believe 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: you two who call yourself my friends forced me into that. 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: And I will continue to defend the Colts and their 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: ten week record scoring thirty one points a game. And 13 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: then Deebro also was like, hey, what about these four 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: mediocre games? I'm like, what you mean, the ones against 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans defense, the one on the road in Pittsburgh, 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: the one on the road in Kansas City. Yeah, those 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: are tough place. 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: Throw in the Falcons in there, and the fact that 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: they didn't score over twenty points in three of those 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: four games. 21 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: Just got fine. 22 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 4: I got one question for you regarding that stat They 23 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 4: were basically the two thousand and seven New England Patriots. 24 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: It's a great stat but is it descriptive or predictive? 25 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 4: Thirty one points per game? What is that gonna tell 26 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 4: you about twenty twenty six? Just answer that question, please, John. 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: I like to have an actual reality instead of virtual reality. 28 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: It's descriptive, and I'll tell you this much. Now, he's 29 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: a descriptive. You could take your predictions and turn him 30 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: sideways and you know what to do with them. Because 31 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: everybody thought the Ravens were gonna make it to the 32 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: super Bowl. They couldn even make it to the damn 33 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. So so much for a predictability of 34 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: teams and projectability, That's what I say. 35 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: I love how you just you describe all of this, 36 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: But basically, this is a trap of your own making. 37 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: Nobody forced you to cape up for Daniel Jones. Nobody 38 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: forced you to cape up for Eli Manning. You put baby, 39 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: Nobody did all this, and Baby, your true colors came out. 40 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: It's not our fault, is it, Irson? 41 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just ready for him to pull the camps. 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 4: Scataboo Jear's out of his closet. 43 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: No, Yeah, he's got, he's got, he's got a one 44 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,919 Speaker 2: he's wearing underneath that hoodie. 45 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: Don't worry, Toma Campskataboo. We gotta tellme one of my 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: favorite things. All Right, we're gonna go ahead this time. 47 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: This is part two of our series of the power Ranks. 48 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: This time we're doing NFC because I can't stand to 49 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: talk about Daniel Jones anymore. So NFC Power Rankings that 50 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: belong to me. That once again, a very brave Joe 51 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: Pisap is gonna throw out there, brave to these two hounds, 52 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: like two like raw meat, just stakes flying out there 53 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: and they're just gonna devour it and see what happens here. 54 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: So make sure you subscribe to the tailgate because this 55 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: is what we do here. We talked football. There's no rules. 56 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: It's just friends hanging out talking ball as intelligently as 57 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: we can, with also as much stupidity as we can, 58 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: because that's I think what friends are supposed to do. 59 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: So let's start at the bottom, which is always a 60 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: fun start place to begin. Let's start with my number 61 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: sixteen team, the worst team in the NFC, and it 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: is the Arizona Cardinals. Now the Arizona Cardinals at a 63 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: very weird offseason. But what else is new? Another year, 64 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: another new head coach for them will see if this 65 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: LA floor can do anything for this team is still 66 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: the same organization that players pay for their own lunches. 67 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: I mean, Arizona historically has just not been good, and 68 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: for a good reason, because they make weird decisions, you know, 69 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: like spending money in the offseason on a decent running 70 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: back in Tyler our year when you already had a 71 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: full running back room, only to turn around to use 72 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: the third pick on a running back Jeremiah Love, which 73 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: was the right decision, but you came to it very late. 74 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: It's almost like they didn't know that they had the 75 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: third overall pick and that wasn't available to them while 76 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: they were discussing what they were going to do in 77 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: the NFL draft. So one of two things are true. 78 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: Either there's such bad talent evaluators that they couldn't figure 79 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: it out for themselves and they had to wait for 80 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: everybody else to tell them around NFL circles how good 81 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love was, or they just look around at each 82 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: other and they just are flying by the seat of 83 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: their pants. Either way, it's not good. And Jacoby Brissett 84 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: was admirable last year at times, they still got Trey McBride. 85 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: They've got a lot positive there. But to me, they're 86 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: still the worst team, especially when you consider the division 87 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: they have to play in, which is arguably one of 88 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: the best divisions in football in terms of the top 89 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: three teams. So that's my take. But debro, that's not 90 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: your bottom team. The Cardinals aren't your bottom. How can 91 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: this be? No? 92 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: Because it's the Falcons. 93 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: Due we can talk about a lot of similarities between 94 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: these two rosters, highlighted by offensive stars, and if we 95 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: want to talk about I would much rather have Jacoby 96 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: Brissett than to a tongue of Valoa at this part 97 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 2: of their careers. And I would take the Cardinals defense 98 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: over the Falcons defense. So the Falcons are the bottom 99 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: team for me. They're sixteenth. I have the Arizona Cardinals 100 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: at fifteenth. They're both garbage teams. 101 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: Though, ericson, would you like to stay with me with 102 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals being the worst team in the NFC? 103 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: Yes, because they are the worst team in the NFC. 104 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: Look at the odds twenty thousand plus twenty thousand to 105 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 4: win the NFC this year. Arizona Cardinals. They have the 106 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 4: hardest schedule in the NFL and they had a top 107 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 4: three pick last year, so they're facing a bottom schedule 108 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: in terms of their strength of opponent. Well, spoiler, the 109 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 4: other three teams in the division are the top of 110 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: my NFC rankings, so that's just the type of uphill 111 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: battle they have to face. I would rather go with 112 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: the Falcons quarterbacks. I've seen those guys at least play 113 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 4: well recently at some point in their NFL careers versus 114 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: Jacoby Brissette, who put up counting stats last year. In 115 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: Carson Beck, is he gonna be the answer? He's the 116 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: answer to Oh, Archie Manning, Dante Moore, there's your That's 117 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 4: why they drafted Carson Beck so they could get Dante more, 118 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 4: they could get Archie Manning in twenty twenty seven, because 119 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 4: I think that Arizona. If I was making a bet 120 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 4: right now, who's gonna have the number one overall pick? 121 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 4: I would not bet the Falcons again, They're still my 122 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: fifteenth ranked team in the NANCY. I would bet on 123 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals being that team that get tons of 124 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: injuries last year. But even if they're a little bit 125 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 4: healthier on defense. I don't know if that matters when 126 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: I think that they're just so undermanned. And Jacoby Brissett 127 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 4: he has he's holding out for a team. Jacoby Brissett, 128 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: he has, he has power on this Arizona Cardinals roster 129 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 4: or something. 130 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: He's a good dude. Good. I'm happy for Jacoby Brissette. 131 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: He's a bad guy. He's a mid level quarterback. And 132 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: it's a if you're ever gonna get hate if you 133 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Jacoby Weris said, this is the time, it's now or never. 134 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: So good on h Jacoby Brisset. But yeah, the Cardinals stink, 135 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: so Andrew is right, and the Falcons are the fifteenth team. 136 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: We'll transition to the Falcons, which. 137 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 4: Are also very stinky. 138 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: But this one. 139 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Feels worse to me because I look at a team 140 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: that's got bejeonn Robinson, that it's got Drake London's got 141 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, it's got you know what. I think some 142 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: players on the defensive side here that are intriguing, But man, 143 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: I think a couple a couple, But I just can't 144 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I can't possibly just go along with the quarterback situation 145 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: here because it's either to a tongue of Ioloa who 146 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: is an injury, liability and risk. We all know of 147 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: a high level Michael Panics who really hasn't quite developed 148 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: as maybe some people might have hoped. So we're either 149 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna go as Deebro makes farting sounds, it's very high 150 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: class here on the. 151 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: Program, ran the class to the show here. 152 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: But you have a situation where it doesn't feel like 153 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: anything's gonna go well here because if one guy struggles, 154 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna hear the clamoring for the other guy to 155 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: take over, and vice versa. You have a potential where 156 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: of two it does play well and then gets hurt, 157 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: then Penix has to take over. It just feels like 158 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: it's just off to me and Kevin Stefanski. At some 159 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: point I think has to be held accountable too, because 160 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: I think we all gave him a lot of passes 161 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: because the organization in Cleveland just thrust Deshaun Watson upon him, 162 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: and it was an awful situation for him to be 163 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: in with cap issues and all the other stuff because 164 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: of the amount of money they were paying him. But 165 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: then a certain point too, I think when Deshaun Watson 166 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: wasn't around the Cleveland didn't perform I think up to 167 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: their capabilities either at times. So I'm gonna put them 168 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: at fifteen. I already know Andrew you agree with me, 169 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: So let's talk about your agreement here before we start 170 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: going off the rails, because I've got a lot of 171 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: controversial takes, and I can tell you right now your 172 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: top three teams are not my top three teams. 173 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 4: It's weird that the Falcons, to your point about all 174 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 4: their offensive playmakers mean b John Robinson, you know, arguably 175 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: the best running back in the NFL, Drake London, a 176 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: wide receiver that we really like, and yet this team 177 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: is a bottom dweller in the NFC in a division 178 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: that is usually wide open. But the Falcons didn't even 179 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: come in last place in the division, and they're last 180 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 4: place in our power and Games looking ahead to twenty 181 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 4: twenty six. So yeah, I think the quarterback situation is 182 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: better in Atlanta than Arizona. But that's a very low 183 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: bar to pass, right, Like, it's not me going out 184 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 4: and lit me like, I really have a lot of 185 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 4: confident in these two players, especially when you look at 186 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: one of the massive holes on the Falcons offense. Their 187 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: right tackle right now is Juwan Taylor, you know where 188 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 4: it's a big deal to have a bad right tackle 189 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 4: when you have two left handed quarterbacks, which is what 190 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 4: the Falcons have. So I think that's another big problem 191 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: that the Falcons. Their defense. They did some interesting things 192 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: last year. I think that the secondary's okay, but edge 193 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 4: rusher right last year at Team MAK they finally solved 194 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 4: it and then what happens. James Pierce Junior gets arrested. 195 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: We don't know if he's going to get suspended, if 196 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: he's gonna get We don't know exactly what his situation 197 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 4: is going to be. But it's just more bad in 198 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 4: terms of the pass rush, which has always been a 199 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 4: need for this Falcons defense. Losing Raheem Morris again, he 200 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 4: was the head coach, the defensive play caller last year. 201 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 4: So new coaching staff, no allegiance to Michael Pennix. What's 202 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 4: two going to look like? It just seems like they're 203 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: another team that when we're looking at who's taking a 204 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: quarterback in twenty twenty seven, I think the Falcons are 205 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 4: going to be at the top of that list. 206 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it always sucks to lose your first round pick 207 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: from the year before to the Atlanta PD. That's always 208 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: a tough one. That's a tough pill to swallow. It. 209 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: Dee Brau, you know you kind of took your shots 210 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: at the falcons. Do you have any other in the 211 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: chamber you want to fire? 212 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 4: Anything left? 213 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: And I realized, now that's a that's a difficult metaphor 214 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: I just made consider. I just said, but I'm gonna 215 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: go with it. I'm gonna go with it because I 216 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: don't care. 217 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: Well, I already got the fart noses out earlier, so. 218 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, we did with the brow has left 219 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: this program a long time exactly exactly. 220 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: But dude, I think the further and further we get 221 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: into Kevin'stfanski's career as a head coach in the NFL, 222 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: can we say that he is trending more and more 223 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: and more towards massively overrated than a good coach. 224 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: Yes, I think we can. 225 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: The longer that we get, like the longer runway we get, 226 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: the more experience we. 227 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 3: Get of the Kevin Stefanski. 228 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: Entire God, what he brings to an organization like drafting 229 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch did do not learn the sins of yesteryear 230 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: with Anthony Schwartz and mal Chai Corley apparently not. 231 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: But no, I digress. 232 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 4: I got to his screen. Guy. He's got a guy now, right. 233 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: B Jehn Robinson says, I gonna say, I was gonna say, 234 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: I think he's got the screen. I think B J. 235 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: Robinson might be at that. 236 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 4: To say so much makes so much sense. 237 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: All Right, here's where we start to go. I think 238 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: off the rails. It's just my prediction, but I'm gonna 239 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: I really believe this, and I'm going to stick to 240 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: my guns. Here m Tampa Bay Buccaneers I have right 241 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: now at fourteen, which is going to surprise a lot 242 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: of people. But here's my case against it. Right of 243 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: why the Buccaneers I think are kind of lower on 244 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: the total pole. I think when you lose the Levante 245 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: David and you lose the Mike Evans, and you lose 246 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: the two big leadership stall wart guys on both sides 247 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: of the football in one offseason, I think that leaves 248 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: a huge vacuum. And again, this is a fantasy stuff 249 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're talking about real football stuff. We're 250 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: talking about the guys in the locker room that make 251 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: this team tick, and Baker Mayfield has shown you he 252 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: can have some leadership qualities. Baker Mayfield also, unfortunately with 253 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries last year, and I think that 254 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: we're also in a spot too in this you know, 255 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: post Tom Brady era Buccaneers where we pass things over 256 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield. We're kind of living off the pass 257 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: with some of these other talented people that they have. 258 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: To me, I'm looking at the Buccaneers and I feel 259 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: like this is a team that's primed to be going 260 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. Not because they don't have a 261 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: quarterback that's worthy, but because I think you're in a 262 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: weird transition mode with this team where they're gonna have 263 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: to figure out what their identity is because I don't 264 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: know what it is anymore, and I don't know if 265 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: they know. So I get it. I know people are 266 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna come at me for this one. But we're talking 267 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: about football right now, and I think football when you 268 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: lose captains on either side who have been there for 269 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: a decade. Okay, this is not like always a good 270 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: player for a couple of years. We're talking a decade 271 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: plus of these guys that stuff you don't replace overnight, 272 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: and you certainly don't replace it over one offseason, and 273 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: you don't do it on both sides of the football 274 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: in the same So I'm gonna put that out there. 275 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: I know it's going to be controversial, but I think 276 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good defense of it. De bro, Why 277 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: don't you have out here? Am I right or wrong 278 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: about being so down on the Buccaneers. 279 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: I don't think you're wrong. 280 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 2: I think when you look at the NFC, the total 281 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: picture of them, like I'm looking at my power rankings 282 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: right now, I feel like everybody about from team six 283 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: to team fourteen, you can make past four and again 284 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: you can. I agree it really it's tough, man, Like 285 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: I have the Buccaneers higher, I have them at ten. 286 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: But I don't disagree with a lot of what you said. 287 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: The only thing I'll give for context about the Buccaneers 288 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: for last year their offensive line, massive amounts of injuries. 289 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: I think their offensive line is really really freaking good 290 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: when healthy. I think the defense can play better. I 291 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: think what you talked about with leadership, I think adding 292 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: somebody like Alex Angeloni is going to help a ton 293 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: in that as well as addressing edge, they might finally 294 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: have a competent pass rusher that can rush the passer. 295 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: Boys. 296 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: If Ruben Bain Junior can be that guy, they already 297 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: started adding to the second. 298 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: His locker with his tiny arms too, He's got. 299 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 3: God, dude, he's good. 300 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 4: Is going to be good. He's he's gonna be very good. 301 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: He's gonna be very very good. 302 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: You sure you can do the combination. It's hard. 303 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: The t Rex might not have big arms, but the 304 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 2: t Rex is still ferocious and mighty. 305 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: That's all same. 306 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 4: Every quarterback he's going to tell them how long his 307 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 4: arms are. 308 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you should. 309 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: Do the teeth measure. That's what you should do. Every 310 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: time he sacks. Somebody should go out there and pull 311 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: the measure. Wonderful, let's go. I think they have a 312 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: well rounded roster. 313 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: Like I see your concerns about the locker room and 314 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: stuff like that, but I do think they have a 315 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: lot of betteran presence. If the offensive line can stay 316 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: healthy and good lord, if Baker Mayfield can stay healthy, 317 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: I think the Bucks could go screaming up. Like again, 318 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: I have them tense at So it's a lot of. 319 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: Ifs, though, it is a lot of here's if Chris 320 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: Godwin's healthy, which never seems like a thing anymore, you know, Fide, 321 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: Look Andrew, this has been I just feel like we're 322 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: also in a point too with the head coach where 323 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: we're in almost like a fork in the road with him, 324 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Like if if they get off the little bad start, 325 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: you could see things starting to go to the other direction. 326 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Here where we're we can't live off the past anymore, 327 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: and I think that's just a dangerous place to be. 328 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: And I think this is one's going to blindside people, 329 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: that people won't see the Bucks being bad. And I 330 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: understand why because Dee, they were said, there's a lot 331 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: of talent on this roster, right, I just don't think 332 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: you could fill those kind of voids in an off 333 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: season the way they have them. 334 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 4: So I'm throating the needle between you two. So I 335 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: have them at twelve, so I'm right between. So we're 336 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 4: all kind of split on. You can see the upside 337 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 4: case for Tampa Bay that deebro laid out, you see 338 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: the downside case that you laid out an Iland somewhere 339 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 4: in the middle. Because I'm acknowledging both of the points 340 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 4: that you guys made, I think one thing to also 341 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 4: discuss is it's another coordinator for the Buccaneers, Zach Robinson 342 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 4: coming in. So how I mean he was with Atlanta 343 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 4: last year, like he had good players, was it right? 344 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't keep them. So how is that 345 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: going to be with Baker Mayfield who last year we 346 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 4: saw MVP level during the first half of the year 347 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 4: and then he got hurt and then things just totally 348 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 4: got off the rails. And I would say the counterpoint 349 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 4: to the leadership, I would say that, but they have 350 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 4: some guys that could step up and take on those roles. 351 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: They drafted at BUKA to be no, you're gonna be 352 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: our number one guy. He talked about this, and I 353 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: think in the interview or the squeak where he's like, yep, 354 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: Mike Evans is gone, but we have guys who are 355 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 4: ready to step up and take on that big roe. Now, 356 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: obviously that's a projection, massive shoes to fill when it 357 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: comes to Levante David. But they brought in a linebacker 358 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 4: from Detroit. They drafted in the linebacker Trotter, where a 359 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 4: lot of people liked. I thought their draft was really good, 360 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 4: getting Ruben bang where they got it, drafting Ted Hurst, 361 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 4: Kante Scott with it fits perfectly into this Todd Bowles scheme. 362 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 4: So I think personnel wise, if they're healthier on offense, 363 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: I can see them definitely being top fifteen, top ten 364 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: offense potentially if they're able to do the beginning of 365 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: last year at Buka looks like the guy the first 366 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 4: half the season. But yes, there are a lot of others, 367 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: which is why you fall into this. Okay, I'm kind 368 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 4: of hedging here between you two having them at twelve. 369 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: Can we also talk about Baker Mayfield has grown into 370 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: like after entering the NFL is like popping his mouth 371 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 2: all veterans didn't dislike him in Cleveland and stuff like that. 372 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: He's grown into a. 373 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Very good leader as well as he's also like hasn't 374 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: had to bear the brunt of all of it. Now 375 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: it's all gonna be on. 376 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: I don't know about that, Like I just garbage. 377 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: I like that six part docuseries on the Fricking Buccaneers, 378 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: which I recommend to everybody. It's very good. Raise the Flags, 379 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: it's excellent. But when you start to hear the way 380 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: that people talk about Mike Evans, because they even got 381 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: into like the end of you know, the end of 382 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: the days it got right up until this year, and 383 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: the way they talk about leal Ante David, you just go, oh, 384 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: I got this feeling like this is gonna be a 385 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: bad time. This is gonna be like when you walk 386 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: into school and all your friends that were seniors are 387 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: gone and now you're looking around you're kind of like, 388 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: oh no, Like this is kind of like a whole 389 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: new thing. And maybe Baker Mayfield responds to it, maybe 390 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: he takes his game to the next level. But again 391 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sold that were there. 392 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 4: One last thing on Mayfield is when he's an underdog. 393 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 4: I want to bet on Baker Mayfield. 394 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: Like we talked about this all the time going into 395 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: You're right then that is one. Right now, I think 396 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: the Bucks are still looking. 397 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 4: Right and you don't if that changes though, if it's 398 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 4: becomes well, Baker Mayfield is in a contract year. Why 399 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 4: have they extended him yet? Well, I mean, if there's 400 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 4: a fire under Baker Mayfield, I want to be on 401 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 4: that side of that ship. 402 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: You want to be Marshmallow's next to it. You don't 403 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: know many teams to talk about. Well, don't think that. 404 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: Hold hold up, you don't think that there's a fire 405 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: under Baker Mayfield considering how pure is their last season 406 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield fire. 407 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: It's the fact that it's a wildfire and it's hard 408 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: to contain and control. That's my problem. Baker Mayfield from 409 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: college till now. 410 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: But it burns bright. 411 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: Joe, my god, that was That was a beautiful metaphor 412 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: I just dropped there. That makes up for the other 413 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: one that was pretty lazy once, to be honest. All right, 414 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: that's let's get to number thirteen on my list of 415 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: power rankings of the NFC. It's Derek Brown's New Orleans Saints. Yeah, 416 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: let's go. Okay. I know this sounds low, but I'm actually, like, 417 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: really cautiously optimistic. It does, but I also want to 418 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: be realistic, tough, and it's very tight there now. I 419 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: like Kellen Moore. I think he did a really impressive 420 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: job with Tyler Shuck last year. I think that Jordan 421 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: Tyson selection was really good. I love Travis chen coming in. 422 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: I think this is a team that's on the upswing. 423 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: But I also don't want to put the car before 424 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: the horse either. I think there's still but now we're 425 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: a team that's starting to deal with a little bit 426 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: more expectations right, and I think people will see them 427 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: coming now a little bit more, and I think that's 428 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: going to be a little bit different for them to 429 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: deal with. So Errol's pointing up for New Orleans, I'm 430 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: this is despite the fact that it's low, this is 431 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: like the most positive thirteen I could possibly give this 432 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: team because I can see them cracking the top ten 433 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: even like I think that is in the range of outcomes, 434 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: as Derek Brown likes to say. But I don't want 435 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: to do that yet because I still think that when 436 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: you look around the NFC, there's still some teams I 437 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: think structurally and experience wise that are just ahead of them. 438 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: But I am putting them ahead of the Buccaneers, which 439 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: I think is a statement. Andrew Rickson, what do you 440 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: think of my statement? 441 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: I also have them Buccaneers, but I also have them 442 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 4: inside my top ten. I have them at number nine 443 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 4: in the Saints at number nine Orleans Saints. 444 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: That is, let's go, because the New Orleans Saints that 445 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: play in the NFL, those are all, yes, the ones 446 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: that play in the NFL that are going to continue 447 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: the streak of teams going from worse to first in 448 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: their division. 449 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 4: I think at the Saints are on the top of 450 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 4: that list. When you look at the teams that could 451 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: potentially make that type of leap. I look at their schedule, 452 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 4: just who the opponents they're playing. And Warren Sharp does 453 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 4: this every single year where he takes the forecast and 454 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 4: win totals. Again, we don't know the order of when 455 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: they'll play these teams that we know which teams are 456 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: going to play. They have the second easiest schedule in 457 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 4: the NFL. I love that for New Orleans. I think 458 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: that when you look at teams that take a massive 459 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 4: leap in terms of going from worse to first, the 460 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 4: division of the common like things with that is second 461 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: year quarterbacks. Look at the two games that did it 462 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 4: last year Chicago Bears second year quarterback check, Patriots second 463 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: year quarterback. Check. 464 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: Where's the first? 465 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 4: So they're just checking off a lot of box. 466 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: I think their defense I'm gonna check later. 467 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: By the way, that's fine, But I would rather come back. 468 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: Got the same box different teams. 469 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 4: I would rather do that check that boss in the 470 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 4: NFC South than the NFC East because I think that 471 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 4: this division is much much weaker the Saints, I thought 472 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 4: in the draft, I felt like their roster is in 473 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 4: a good spot that they could take kind of a 474 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 4: luxury pick at number eight. Getting Jordan Tyson I thought 475 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 4: was a great addition to Tyler Shuck for him to 476 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: develop and tell him Moore's offense. I mean, when you 477 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 4: look at the Buccaneers and Panthers, who are the teams 478 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 4: that were atop this division last year? Actually tied with Atlanta. 479 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 4: I mean they kind of spiraled down the stretch. The 480 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 4: Panthers made the playoffs, but they kind of backed into 481 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: it because the Buccaneers kep losing all these games. These 482 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 4: Saints won four of their last five games. Their defense 483 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 4: was one of the best against the run last year, 484 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 4: and they couldn't run the football at all on offense. 485 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 4: So you give Tyler show an effective run game, a 486 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 4: defense that showed out can be above average. I'd like 487 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 4: the Saints the top ten team, And I think that 488 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 4: when it's all said and done, if I'm making a 489 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 4: betut who's gonna win the NFC South, considering the odds 490 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 4: as well, I think I'm going with the Saints. 491 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 3: Already made that bet. 492 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: By the way, ericson, let's got plus four hundred baby. 493 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: Anything else to add on the Saints here, debro I. 494 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: So I'm a little bit more modern on the Saints, 495 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: and this is not because I'm not extremely high on 496 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: their outlook right now, Like I have them, I'll and 497 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: I'll just go ahead and give this have them in 498 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers at thirteenth and fourteenth. Both of these 499 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: teams could be massively, massively improved this year. And everything 500 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: that Ericson said about the Saints, you had a ton 501 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: more offensive firepower the defense, and they finally got maybe 502 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: a defensive tackle that actually can help them stop the 503 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: run in Krista Miller this year. So I think the 504 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 2: Saints could easily take the division. I think they could 505 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: take a big step forward. But I could also say 506 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: the same things for the Carolina Panthers, Like their entire 507 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: roster has been overhauled. They've added a ton of personnel 508 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 2: on the defensive side. I think the NFC South is, honestly, 509 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: outside of the Falcons, is going to be one hell 510 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 2: of a competitive division this year. 511 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: So I don't want to get too far into. 512 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 2: Scheduled analysis like Ericson was talking about with the Saints, 513 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: like yeah, like they got some gimmes. They got two 514 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: games against the Falcons. I think they're two matchups against 515 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 2: the Panthers and the Buccaneers are going to be really 516 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: hard fought battles, like I could see them splitting both 517 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: of those games or both those series. And then you 518 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 2: get into well, I mean, obviously they're going to beat 519 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: the Bengals because Joe thinks the Bengals are one of 520 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 2: the worst teams in the NFL. 521 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you've already discussed this. 522 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: So yes, so low in double digits. 523 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: No, you know we're not right double the Bengals. We 524 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: already know this. 525 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: Year money line against the Bengals in Week one. 526 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: We know I won. I wore a Bengals shirt yesterday 527 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: the football practice. 528 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: There is no proof there is you know. 529 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: Well, I mean that that shirt's now almost vintage though, 530 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: because it's so long since they won the a f C. Okay, 531 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: it's vintage. 532 00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 4: Hasn't been that long. 533 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 3: In that long. 534 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: But to wrap this up, I can make a case 535 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: for the Saints starting at eight right now. 536 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: And I don't think it's crazy. 537 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: I think the NFC it's you're splitting hairs about what 538 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: do you forecast this year versus what did you see 539 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 2: last year? 540 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 3: And I think pretty much. 541 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: Any team from like six or seven down could finish 542 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: anywhere from six or seven to fourteenth. 543 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I think we all agree on that that 544 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: it's it's just very tight. One injury or one hot 545 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: streak or cold streak, you could see things falling apart 546 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: or rising up for sure, which brings me to my 547 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: number twelve team in the bottom five rankings. But the 548 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: best of the bottom is the Minnesota Vikings. I believe 549 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: in the coach. I still like the talent that's on 550 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: this roster. You have an all worldwide receiver in Justin Jefferson, 551 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: and I think Kyler Murray was something to prove and 552 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: play for. Basically his career on the line I think 553 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: is intriguing. And I'm old enough to remember Kyler Murray. 554 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: With DeAndre Hopkins having some pretty good seasons, and I 555 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: think that Kevin O'Connor will get the out of him. 556 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: I know they lost some pieces on the defensive side, 557 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: but I have faith in the coordinator that he will 558 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: continue to take what he's got and use it the 559 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: proper way. Because Flores seems to like understand how to 560 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: do that, which is good. He's a little malleable as 561 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, which I like. So again, I don't 562 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: know if this is a stretch for some other people, 563 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: but I feel like the Vikings the range of outcomes 564 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: for them is I could see them winning the division 565 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: or finishing last of this division. I think that's where 566 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: you're at with the Vikings. So I'm gonna basically say 567 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: like they're kind of on the outs, but it doesn't 568 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: mean they can't make the playoffs. And I think that 569 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: that's in there too, depending on if Kyler Murray can 570 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: stay healthy and if he can really get the Reins 571 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: back on his career, like it's a former number one 572 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: overall pick. Change of scenery is good, and I think 573 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: going from the Arizona Cardinals, arguably the worst franchise in 574 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: the NFL, to the Minnesota Vikings and a fan base 575 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: that's be so supportive. No, not the worst organization, that 576 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: worst team, the worst organization in football. It's got to 577 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: be the Arizona Cardinals. I mean, come on, let's talk 578 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: about it. I mean, I mean, all the Jets might 579 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: say hold my as possible, but you know, I just 580 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: think I look at the Minnesota Vikings that I think 581 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: there's opportunity here for them to get back on track. 582 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: I mean everything just deteriorated around them. Last year with 583 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback play, Debro discussed I've got. 584 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 3: The Vikings at nine and again way. 585 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: Higher than me. Wow. 586 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: Well, I mean again, like we're splitting hairs, like I 587 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: give like we don't have a lot. 588 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: To split between the two of them. 589 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 4: We can't split any more. Harris on the show. 590 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: Andrew left. But with the Vikings, like, there's a lot 591 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: of talent on the offensive side, But could things fall apart? 592 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 3: Like could Aaron Jones get hurt again? Could? 593 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: Yes? 594 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 3: The situation could? 595 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's rough though, man, Like I 596 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: mean the defensive line, what are they getting out of that? 597 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: They have a lot of rookies and a lot of 598 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 2: unproven are unproven players And Brian floor is like he 599 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 2: keeps saying like we all talk about like okay, can 600 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 2: you pull a rabbit out of the hat? 601 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 3: Like can he can he do that? Sure? 602 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: But you look at this as the roster and it's 603 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 2: like Andrew van Geegle, can he stay healthy? The cornerback 604 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 2: room isn't amazing now. The defensive line is a big 605 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 2: question mark. Like I'm putting them high here on this list, 606 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: but again, I keep saying it like you can make 607 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: a case for any one of these teams to make 608 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: a downside case two, they're. 609 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: Just ericson what are your thoughts? Talk to me about 610 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: the Vikings. 611 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 4: So I actually have them the lowest of US three. 612 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 4: So I have them at thirteen, And that's because I'm 613 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 4: just trying to capture the downside too. With Kyler Murray, 614 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 4: what if he's just cooked at this point, like he's 615 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 4: coming off another season ending injury. It's a foot injury 616 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 4: took sausage, So that concerns me about even if he's 617 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 4: in a better offensive infrastructure around him, how effective is 618 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 4: he going to be? So that concerns me. And then 619 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 4: from the Flora's defensive side, the Vikings have obviously been 620 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 4: really effective on defense with Flora's calling the shots, but 621 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 4: last year when the defense was kind of keeping them 622 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 4: in games for the most part because the offense but 623 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 4: struggling so much. They also have the healthiest defense in 624 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 4: the NFC last year cording to adjusted games loss. So 625 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 4: if they're also losing more guys on the defensive side 626 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: of the ball, are they now playing in shootouts where okay, 627 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: we don't have with the quarterback player we're getting. Maybe 628 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 4: we're not matching some of these other top tier teams 629 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 4: in the NFC. So you're talking about number one overall picks. 630 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 4: Would I rather bet on Baker Mayfield or Kyler Murray. 631 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 4: I'll take Baker Mayfield Baker. So that's why I have 632 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 4: Buconeers ranked ahead of the Vikings. 633 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: All right, so those are the bottom five. And remember 634 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: when you're watching here on the channel, it is a 635 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: great opportunity for you to win free stuff, including a 636 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase signed Bengals jersey for my favorite team, the 637 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals.

Next up on my list 649 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 1: here at number eleven, the Washington Commanders. I'm pushing them 650 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: up the list here a little bit because they still 651 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: have Jaden Daniels and I still believe in Jadan Daniels. 652 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: He was hurt last year. Healthy Jaden Daniels goes a 653 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: long way. I liked the draft that they had. I 654 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: also think offseason they made some really good moves. They 655 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: look they got Sonny Styles right in the draft. Leoshanal Is. 656 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: I love that guy. He's just a football player, right 657 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: He's coming over from the Chiefs. A guy just makes tackles. 658 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: He goes out there, he plays with intensity. I think 659 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: that's something this team lacked last year. Chason had a 660 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: great year for the Patriots. He's gonna be rushing this 661 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: year for the Washington Commanders. So to me, like they 662 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: went out there they realized they went in. I think 663 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: they they had that moment too where they figured out, look, 664 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: we did not do a good enough job getting enough 665 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: talent on this roster last year, and everything broke right 666 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 1: for them. Jaane Daniels rookie season, I think they did 667 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: a much better job this year, and I think the 668 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: Commanders will be more competitive this season. Andrew Rickson, what 669 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the Commanders? You got them higher 670 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: or lower than where I have them right now in eleven. 671 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 4: I have them one spot higher at ten. But I 672 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 4: think that you alluded to. Yes, they have made a 673 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 4: lot of good additions, but is it still enough additions 674 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 4: where okay, they're actually going to be contenders again? And 675 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 4: it's not just Jade Daniels son running right. So I 676 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 4: agree with you in terms of yes, getting Sunny Styles 677 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 4: is going to help the defense because the defense couldn't 678 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 4: do anything last year. But I look at their secondary 679 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 4: specific to like the cornerback position, and that's kind of 680 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: where Sony Style is going to stop teams from throwing 681 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 4: all over the Washington Commanders Like, I'm not so sure 682 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 4: about that. So even if the pass rush is a 683 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 4: little bit better, I still don't know. And then with 684 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 4: Jayde Daniels offensively, I like Antonio Williams as a rookie 685 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 4: wide receiver. I like chikakon Quo as a tight end, 686 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 4: but these guys aren't like established assets where oh Jane 687 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 4: Janiels is going to cook with Terry mclorrnan also coming 688 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 4: off a season where he's suffered a lot of injury 689 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 4: and missed a lot of time, so he's the number one. 690 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 4: He's also not really young, he's an older player. So 691 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 4: how much offensive production are they putting too much on Janiels? 692 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 4: You have to do it all, you have to be 693 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 4: superman because they got you that last year and he 694 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 4: got banged up as well. So that's why I have 695 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 4: them at ten. I'm trying to capture that with Jayden Daniels. 696 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 4: You always have top ten upside with this type of team, 697 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 4: and they did make additions I liked on defense, but 698 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 4: maybe it's still not enough to really put them over 699 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 4: the top. 700 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: To me deepro the other deficit of this team is 701 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: still the running back room. It's like Rashaud White, it's 702 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: JCM sure is Jerome Ford, k Tron Allen like, there's guys, 703 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: but it's again it's a big messy committee. If this 704 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: team had a true bellcal running back, like if you 705 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: had Derek Henry on this team. When I'm just throwing 706 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: it out there, I think I very differently of the 707 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders because all of a sudden, the old Tereremiah 708 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: Love a whole different dynamic on this offensive side, where 709 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: as a defense, I gotta worry about Jayden Daniels and 710 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: I gotta worry about that guy. Like that's a lot 711 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: to try to figure out. You got a spy in 712 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: the you know out there at the you know, the 713 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: middle tier of the defense. You're trying to figure out 714 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: how to stop one guy, but then the other guy's 715 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: gonna running over. It's a lot. So I think that's 716 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: still a problem of why I can't get into the 717 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: top ten with them. 718 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 2: Well, same and I've got them at twelve for a 719 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: lot of the high points of this this roster. I 720 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: mean they're they're running back room as an island misfit 721 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: toys their wide receiver room. It's the same thing outside 722 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: of Terry McLaurin. I mean, like Luke McCaffrey, we haven't 723 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: seen anything out of outside of like, you know, consistency 724 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: from him. And then it's Treylon Burk's Diami Brown, Javen 725 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: Lane Van Jefferson, Wolf Wolf Wolf Wolf. 726 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: It's horrible. 727 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 2: The offensive line has has question marks. The I mean 728 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 2: even with the defense, Like, yeah, the defensive line they 729 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: got reinforcement's linebacker room and stuff like that, but you 730 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: could talk about there's holes in the secondary and what 731 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: are they going to get out of them? And their 732 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 2: safeties aren't like game changers, so secondary. 733 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 3: Is a question. 734 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 2: Offensive line is is okay but kind of shaky. Their 735 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 2: running back room it's littered with a lot of questions, 736 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 2: and mid and they could say the same thing for 737 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: the wide receiver room. Even if we're trying to project 738 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk there right now, still like what are you 739 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 2: getting out of him at this point in his career? 740 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 3: So I can't get any higher than twelve. 741 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: Carolina Panther is coming in at number ten because I 742 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: want to give him credit for how well they played 743 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: in the playoffs against the Rams, how well they played 744 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: in the regular season against the Rams, and they were punchy, right. 745 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: Bryce Young still misses things in his game. I think 746 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: we can all understand that. But I struggle to rank 747 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: them higher than this because the equantum injury to me, 748 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: I think is massive and I don't think that's discussed enough, 749 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: and I look at what they have right now. Ted 750 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: McMillan was terrific. Jalen Koker, I think is a nice position. 751 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm not a Lagette guy. I don't see that. I 752 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: think defensively, again, things broke well for them last year, 753 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: but I don't know if we can get it going 754 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: two years in a row. It does feel like this 755 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: is the kind of division that will turn over. And 756 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: it could be the Saints, it could be the Bucks, 757 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: it could be somebody else. But right now, I'm going 758 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: to give the Panthers the benefit of the doubt. I 759 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm that's too much that I'm giving them. Derek, 760 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: what do you think. 761 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 3: I've got them at fourteenth? But if you were to 762 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 3: ask me, it's really low. 763 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: That's almost worse than the league. 764 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 4: Okay, I mean somebody, you gotta have picked someone at 765 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 4: the bottom of the NSC South. It's not the same same. 766 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 2: It's like it's legit where we're trying to dice through 767 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: like who goes where, And there's so many of these 768 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 2: teams where there's a wide range of what their twenty 769 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 2: twenty six could look like. And for everything good that 770 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: the Panthers did, and I'm actually higher on their offensive line, 771 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 2: their tackle situation because I look at it as a 772 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 2: kwand who is probably not going to play. We're not 773 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 2: even going to see him like a healthy version of him. No, 774 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 2: possibly ever again. But Joe, what they did was they 775 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: sign Rashid Walker to a one year deal and they 776 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: drafted Monroe Freeling, so they have tackle outs. Not worried 777 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 2: about that spot. It comes back to me for how 778 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 2: high can the Panthers go. This has nothing to do 779 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: with like what I think about their offensive line or 780 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 2: their defense. To be honest, their defense looks awesome right now, 781 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 2: like on paper, I think they're gonna be the like 782 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: arguably the most improved defense in the NFL this year. 783 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 2: This all comes back to the quarterback position for me 784 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: and Bryce Young. 785 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: I just don't have a lot of faith in him. Man, Like, 786 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: they won a lot of games last year, but that 787 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: was not okay. Bryce Young carried them to wins. It's 788 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: really like his play. 789 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: Is so volatile because of the fact that he cannot 790 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 2: see over the offensive line and he is such a 791 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 2: limiting quarterback. 792 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 3: So it's like Kyler Murray but worse. 793 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: So. 794 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 2: If I were to make a case of the NFC 795 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 2: version of the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns, those 796 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 2: two teams for me would be the Carolina Panthers in 797 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints. They could go screaming up the power 798 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: rankings once you know the lights come on and football 799 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 2: is being played, or they could be another year away. 800 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: I like Dave Canlis, I like the coach Erickson, but 801 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: at the same time, when I look at the roster, 802 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: I also think this is a team that if they 803 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: don't stay healthy, things will get real ugor real fast. 804 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't love the depth on this team, and I 805 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: think that's another red flag to me about all the 806 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: negative outcomes potential for the Panthers. 807 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 4: So, as a long time Carolina Panthers fan, yeah, really, 808 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 4: it really pained me not to rank them higher because 809 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 4: and I didn't have them as the favorite to win 810 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 4: the division here, even though that's what they did last year. 811 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 4: So I have them at eleven, one spot lower than you, Joe, 812 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 4: and eventually, I hate to say it, but splitting hairs 813 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 4: when I looked at them compared to the New Orleans Saints. 814 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 4: Saints have the second easiest schedule. Why because they came 815 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 4: in the last place in the division last year. The 816 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers, because they won the division last year, what 817 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 4: did they get the thirtieth ranked schedule? So they're paying 818 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 4: all the top teams in the NFC, whereas the Saints 819 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 4: get to play all the really bad teams in the 820 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 4: NFC along with facing their own division. And the other 821 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 4: thing with Carolina as well, is I kind of feel 822 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 4: like we have expectations finally with them, where okay, I 823 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 4: think Bryce Sung has least shown improvement, he's shown growth 824 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 4: of the last couple of seasons. We like Dave Canalis. 825 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 4: To Debro's point, we've put together some good pieces on defense, 826 00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 4: now are we? Because every time I bet on the 827 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 4: character Carolina Panthers last year, when they were favored or 828 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 4: expected to do well, they absolutely craped the bed. And 829 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 4: that was really frustrating, I think really telling for the team. 830 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 4: It's like whenever, okay, now we have to rise see occasion, 831 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 4: and we do it. But when they're ten point underdog 832 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 4: against the Los Angeles Rams, oh yeah, we can go 833 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 4: out and play free because we're just expected to get 834 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 4: shell apped. So I think with expectations on them, I 835 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 4: think it makes a little bit tougher for them. Where 836 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 4: it's with the Saints, I think people are still a 837 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 4: little bit Hey, we'll see what we get with Tyler Shuck. 838 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 4: Kellen Moore was a good story in year one, but 839 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 4: I just see the path for New Orleans much easier 840 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: and ultimately why I ranked them over the Carolina Panthers. 841 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,919 Speaker 4: So that's kind of how I and this I took. 842 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 4: I looked at this for a long time because I'm like, 843 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 4: I've been the Panthers guy, like this is my second favorite. 844 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: God get Andrew ericson. I don't know what kind of 845 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: connections we got, but man, it's for this channel that 846 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: it gets so big that they say and today banging 847 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 1: the drum starting us off there for the Carolina Panthers pregame, Andrew, 848 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: That's what I want to say. I want to live to 849 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: see that moment. Andrew. 850 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 2: Can we walk their schedule world fast and we just 851 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 2: play a role fast of like w or last Yes, 852 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 2: because it is rough, Eric, Yeah, just really quickly and 853 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 2: just okay, so just tell me guys with the winter 854 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 2: doing schedule. 855 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: Shows by the way, as I tease further shows, well, 856 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: we will be talking about that we in the bad 857 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: with the NFL schedule in the week ahead. 858 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: We're just talking opponents here, okay. Seattle Seahawks winner loss lost, 859 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos lost, Chicago Bears lost, Philadelphia Eagles. 860 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes the Eagles play down, don't but I 861 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: will say lost. I just want to say the Eagles 862 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: do that crap though, you and I both know that 863 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals w O. 864 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 2: Good lord, Okay, Ericson lost. So that's five losses right now. 865 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 2: Detroit Lions six, Pittsburgh Steelers win. Yep, I'm gonna give 866 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 2: them a all right, Packers, Yeah, but this is the football. 867 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: Well you have the Packers ran three games, I do, 868 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: but they're not. Yes, So in your RAI one of 869 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: these already the Panthers and we all go, how did 870 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: the Rams lose to the Panthers? And we all sit 871 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: here the next morning and go, how the hell did 872 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: this happened? It's the NFL. 873 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 4: But de losses with how he had seven of how 874 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 4: difficult it is on paper for them to overcome us 875 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 4: and reps the NFC. And also something to mention who 876 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,240 Speaker 4: swept the Panthers last year? The Saints? 877 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: What's there out of uh? What's there at a conference 878 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: schedule this year? Who are they playing? 879 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 4: The AFC? What they playing? 880 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 3: The Browns, the Bengals, the North Yeah. 881 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 4: And then all the top teams from the n s C, 882 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 4: all the want and then talking about it. 883 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: If they split with the Buccaneers, they split with the Saints, 884 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: that's nine losses, not even trying hard to get to 885 00:38:59,239 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: nine losses. 886 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 3: So they're eight and. 887 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 2: Nine, all right, I mean I don't want to, but 888 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 2: I don't either, But that schedule is brutal. 889 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: Just Arison's point, all right, at number nine, second year quarterback, 890 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: a team that was worst that could potentially go to 891 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: first This is the one that I am betting to 892 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: do that. But I'm not ranking there yet because I'm 893 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: not stupid. I just want to, you know, I want 894 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: to stupid slow birth. I like the value on them. 895 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: I'll bet it to happen. But I'm not going to 896 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: power rank them there yet because some New York Football 897 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: Giants in the last twenty. 898 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 3: Years, we've only had. 899 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: This past year was the first time in twenty years 900 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: where a team won that division back to back seasons. 901 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: Every year, these teams leapfrog each other. It's the Washington 902 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: Commanders of the Washington football team. One year it was 903 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: the Eagles, it's the Cowboys, it's the Giants. It's the Eagles, 904 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: it's the Cowboys, it's the Giant. This is what they 905 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: do and if Jackson Dart stays on the field, if 906 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: camp Scatabo stays in field, Isaiah likely does what he 907 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: is possible, you know, to do. If Malik Neighbors can 908 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: get healthy sooner or later. I like Malachai fields. I 909 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: like what they've done. And then they go out there 910 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 1: and they add Arvel Reese to the defense. Well, I 911 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: think is a is a game changing kind of player potentially. 912 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: Now I do not like a couple things in the 913 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: Giants right now. I do not like that Abdull Carter 914 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: looks like Russell Wilson where in number three it doesn't 915 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: look like he has seen a weight this offseason. I 916 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen this pictures of him mad, but. 917 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 3: I've not seen this. 918 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: I want you to look at right now, go right now. 919 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: I want the live reaction and you tell me is 920 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: it Russell Wilson or is it Abdul Carter because kid, 921 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,439 Speaker 1: and I don't mean Russell Wilson now, I mean Russell Wallen. 922 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 3: We're not talking about met Gallery Megano. 923 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about like Russell Wilson was at the 924 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,359 Speaker 1: Savannah Banana's game a couple of weeks ago, who looked 925 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: like he ate all the bananas. I'm not talking about 926 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson. I'm talking about Russell Wilson like when 927 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: he was back in the day playing for Seattle and 928 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 1: was in good shape. Okay, I have some concerns. I 929 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: see Abdua Carter right now, a picture from the twenty 930 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: first of April, Like, what are we talking about here? 931 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, he looks like he I don't know 932 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: what you're looking at? What he does not look like 933 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: he has seen a weight Okay, he looks tiny. And 934 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: for a guy that's got all these negative things around him, 935 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: like this is a big like you got to get 936 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: right here. 937 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 3: Oh you're talking about it, he's like slim and trim, Okay, 938 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:12,840 Speaker 3: slim and speed. 939 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: So so he could get knocked over all over the 940 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: place by giant offensive lineman. Again for a guy who 941 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: has questionable work ethic things. I do not like the 942 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: way he comes in into this first mini camp looking. 943 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: But you still have Brian Burns, you still have a 944 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: lot of talent on on this defensive side, and you've 945 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: got a head coach for the first time in a 946 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: long time that maybe you're kind of flushing things out. 947 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of potentially for the Giants. I 948 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: don't want to over rank them, but I'm saying that 949 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: I'm betting them to win this division because I see 950 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 1: the pathway for it and it's a good wager. But 951 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: in the power rankings, I don't want to put him 952 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,800 Speaker 1: quite there yet. So Ericson, let's talk about the Giants. 953 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 4: So I am probably lowest on them, and I haven't 954 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 4: at fourteen. 955 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 3: Okay, I got him at eleven. 956 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, show, And it's not that I don't like the 957 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 4: potential and upside that you kind of outline, Joe, But 958 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 4: a lot of the stuff you were talking about was, 959 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 4: you know, Harbaugh, the defensive pieces that they've added. I 960 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 4: still think it was dextra Lawrence. He has a lot 961 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 4: of ifs, but that's what you do with some of 962 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 4: these teams that could take major leaps because I think, agreed, 963 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 4: they check off a lot of his boxes. With the 964 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 4: second year quarterback, you have a compted head coach. So 965 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 4: you see the parallels to the New England Patriots with 966 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 4: Drake May and Mike Vrabel. The one thing that's kind 967 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 4: of holding me back though about this offense is so 968 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 4: we got Matt Naggie as the offensive coordinator. I really 969 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 4: don't like that because the last three years with him 970 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 4: and Casey, I know that I don't know exactly how 971 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 4: much influence, but the offense didn't necessarily like take off 972 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 4: of flying colors when he was there, and they didn't 973 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 4: really seem to miss him. They're like, we need to 974 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 4: get Eric the enemy back. Bye bye, Matt Naggy. You 975 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 4: look at what Matt Naggy did with the Chicago Bears. 976 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 4: One good year. The first season, it was great, he 977 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 4: won Offensive Coach of the Year, and then it all 978 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 4: kind of fell apart and was not really really good. 979 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 4: So outside of the top twenty and three of his 980 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 4: four years as the Bears head coach in terms of 981 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 4: offensive points and points were game for the Chiefs the 982 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 4: last season fifteenth, fifteenth and twenty first as the named 983 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 4: offensive coordinator of the Chiefs. So that concerns me. I 984 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 4: don't know if I love that pairing between Jackson Dart 985 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 4: and Matt Maggie. And then I look at the more 986 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 4: of the coaching staff on the offensive side than Harvard 987 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 4: brought in his players. Brian Callahan, who I was not 988 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 4: nice to talking about the Tennessee Titans. He's the quarterback 989 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 4: and past game coordinator. I don't love that Greg Roman 990 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 4: is also on this staff as an offensives sistant. And 991 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,760 Speaker 4: then he guesses, Guys, where did the Giants current offensive 992 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 4: line coach coach last year? 993 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: And he guesses, I gotta be somebody where the terrible 994 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: offensive line Bengals. 995 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 3: I don't know. 996 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 4: Final answer, Bengals, Joey, you got a guess? Uh, I 997 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 4: don't know. 998 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: I'll say, gosh, I don't. I have no idea. I 999 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: don't know. 1000 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 4: Cardinals, like where we're going Cleveland Browns. 1001 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's okay. 1002 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 4: So that's what we're working with. And I think maybe, 1003 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 4: and to your point about you don't want to rank 1004 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,879 Speaker 4: him this high this quickly, maybe this is a twenty 1005 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 4: twenty seven jump that we see the Giants where hey, 1006 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 4: you get back to not mediocrey. We play really competitive 1007 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 4: against our really tough division again, the NFC East. To 1008 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 4: your point, it's always overlapping. There's always a new team 1009 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 4: at the top, every there at the bottom. Right now, 1010 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 4: I don't think that they're so far behind. But harbought 1011 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,479 Speaker 4: draft and developed type of mindset. Maybe it's not twenty 1012 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:23,919 Speaker 4: twenty six, but maybe twenty twenty seven. 1013 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: All right, next up for me, number eight, Dallas Cowboys. 1014 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm still gonna put them ahead of the Giants in 1015 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 1: the Powell rankings. They did get some defensive pieces. When 1016 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback like Dak Prescott, who is very 1017 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: capable in my opinion, who still takes a lot of 1018 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: shots from the media and everybody else, and I get it, 1019 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys haven't won a lot of playoff games. 1020 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,240 Speaker 1: It's fair. But you've got Ceedee Lamb, You've got George Pickens. 1021 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: Ferguson's very capable of tight end. The defense was in 1022 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: shambles last year in terms of giving up all the 1023 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: ardis that they gave constantly. I mean, no lead was 1024 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: safe for the Dallas Cowboys last year, and I feel 1025 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 1: like they at least started to do a better job 1026 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: of that this offseason. So I'm gonna give them a 1027 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: little bit of credit. I do want to give him 1028 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 1: too much credit either, because they are the Cowboys and 1029 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,319 Speaker 1: they always find ways to lose games. But de bro, 1030 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: I do feel like we are getting to a point 1031 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 1: where the Cowboys where I feel like we're still just 1032 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: kind of sweeping around the middle. Like there they could 1033 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: be a playoff team. They could also be the thirteenth 1034 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: team overall and then the NFC. 1035 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 2: So where do you think I'm putting respect on their name? 1036 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,919 Speaker 2: I'm putting them at fifth all. 1037 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,359 Speaker 1: Right, So you're a more you're on the more positive side. Okay, 1038 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: let's talk about it, because by this pleasantly, you know 1039 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,479 Speaker 1: Caleb Downs goes a long way. Is that what we're thinking? 1040 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 2: Well, their offense, I think we all agree is one 1041 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 2: of the best in the NFC. That I don't think 1042 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 2: that's like really like an argument now, of course, No, 1043 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,720 Speaker 2: their offense is one of the best in the NFC, 1044 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 2: and their defense is going to be massively, massively improved 1045 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 2: if they get anything out of Chavon Revel, Like if 1046 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 2: Doron Bland bounces back and he's the guy of yesteryear, 1047 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 2: Caleb Downs is probably they're talking about Kaylen Downs is 1048 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 2: going to play Nickel right now. 1049 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 3: So if he's there starting Nickel, we're looking at a 1050 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 3: Cooper Gene type of like impact in his love for him. 1051 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: By the way, yes, they decided to do. 1052 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,560 Speaker 2: For their defense, and because they do have depth, like 1053 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 2: with with adding Caleb Downs, it's not like they don't 1054 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 2: still have Malik Hooker. It's not like they don't still 1055 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: have parts of pieces. Their defensive line has been totally overhauled. 1056 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 2: I'm incredibly high on the on the Cowboys. I think 1057 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 2: they take the NCAS this year. 1058 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 1: Andrew Rickson, how about them Cowboys? 1059 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 4: I also have been at five because I'm just I'm 1060 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 4: just I'm just because. 1061 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: The high guy cow. 1062 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 4: It's May and we're just looking at this roster and 1063 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 4: it's always it's. 1064 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:47,760 Speaker 1: Because this is the Cowboys. 1065 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 4: Every year though you look at the ross like, dude, 1066 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 4: this team is so good, like we know this in 1067 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 4: so many games, and then they always find ways to lose. 1068 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 4: So will they be at this rank all year long? 1069 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: No? 1070 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 4: But when they come out in Week one and everybody's 1071 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 4: healthy and the vibe are at all time high and 1072 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 4: they upset some team that's higher ranked in the power ranking, 1073 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 4: it's gonna be week two on all the talk shows, 1074 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 4: how about them Dallas Cowboys? And they gotta win the 1075 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 4: Super Bowl in twenty twenty six. 1076 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 3: I can already hear Steven A. Smith being just going 1077 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: off about it and me hitting mut on the team. 1078 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: But there's just no Cowboys, my friends. Did you see 1079 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 1: how good the Cowboys are? Did you watch Dak Prescott 1080 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: yesterday row in the football around the block, George Pickens, 1081 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: my man looking good for the Dallas Cowboy. 1082 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 2: How do you manage to make Steven A sound kind 1083 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 2: of like an Italian grandma at the same time because. 1084 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: He's still New York thing. We still has a little 1085 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: bit of New York in him. He worked at Philadelphia Way, 1086 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 1: and he worked a lot in Philadelphia, which made him 1087 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: run his mouth even more. 1088 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 3: I hear it, I hear it anyway. 1089 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 1: Me in college, stephen A was a big Philadelphia reporter. 1090 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: He was on like local cable news all the time 1091 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: and all this stuff, so that the Philadelphia Inquirer. 1092 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 4: So if they if the Dallas Cowboys are the NFC 1093 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 4: version of the Bengals, that's why I felt, Hey, I 1094 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 4: have to put them inside my top five because I 1095 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 4: felt the same way. You get anything out of their 1096 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 4: defense and their offense does exactly what it did last year, 1097 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 4: then how is there not a top five team? And 1098 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 4: I know they're going to find a way disappoint us 1099 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 4: and not finish top five because this is at eight. 1100 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 3: Because there's so much like the Bengals. 1101 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 4: And the thing that's super scary too about the thing 1102 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 4: that's scary about the Cowboys too is Dak Prescott also 1103 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 4: has this really weird and bizarre yearly split where in 1104 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 4: even number of years his numbers fall off dramatically because 1105 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 4: he usually gets hurt. So again I'm not saying that 1106 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 4: this is predicted in any way, but when you look 1107 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 4: at his game logs and the Dallas Cowboys every other year, 1108 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 4: it's like really really good, really really bad, really good, 1109 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 4: really really bad. And again not in any way, but 1110 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 4: it's just something that I kind of always keep it 1111 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 4: back in my mind, like, good, just go off the rails, 1112 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 4: Dak Presshuck gets banged up, Yeah, and then you can 1113 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 4: see Dallas and that's how they disappoint. 1114 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 1: So just somebody keep in mind, well I have the 1115 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: Bengals at nine just but it's the same thing. It's like, hey, 1116 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: this roster looks really good on paper, and hey, every 1117 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 1: single year they kick us in the nuts, and when 1118 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 1: are we gonna start? And we should wear a cup 1119 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty six season and maybe protection we just. 1120 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 4: Need to be want to think about the Cowboys, we 1121 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 4: just need one team. 1122 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: Joe Burl the healthy I'd love that. 1123 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 2: I love Joe Burrow, so that means we're gonna get 1124 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 2: a Dallas Cowboys Bengals Super Bowl. 1125 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna get. Third Favorite, that's what we're 1126 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 3: gonna get. 1127 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 4: We're gonna watch that with Joe. Would be so fun. 1128 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 2: We are We're gonna have to do a live watch 1129 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 2: party with the Bengals versus the Cowboys. 1130 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 3: This year in the Super Bowl, and it's gonna be 1131 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 3: amuse me more, it's gonna be beautiful. 1132 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to number seven here, and it's 1133 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: more because I just don't know what to do with 1134 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: them at this stage. Guys, I think they're good, but 1135 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:00,839 Speaker 1: I don't think they're great, but I think that they're 1136 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: better than a lot of other teams. Still, it's the 1137 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions at seven. Oh look, Petsig now coming in. 1138 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: This is the third offensive coordinator now in three years. Right, 1139 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: So we just keep turning and burning that and we'll 1140 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 1: see what this one looks like. 1141 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 3: Now. 1142 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: I do think you know you still got I'm on rag. 1143 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: Eric Goff is very capable all that stuff. But you know, 1144 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: I think when you when you watched him last year, 1145 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: especially in that Steelers game at the end of the year, 1146 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 1: remember that Steelers game in December two or it was 1147 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: just like, I'm just starting to get this feeling. And 1148 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: I talked about it going into last year. I said, 1149 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: when you when you lose both coordinators in the season 1150 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: and you're not the team that won the Super Bowl, 1151 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: that's not good. You know, it's just a difficult slog. 1152 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: And the beginning of the year start off pretty well 1153 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions, and then everything that I was 1154 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,959 Speaker 1: worried about showed its ugly face in the second half. 1155 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: Injuries were definitely an issue. And this is where Andrew's 1156 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,800 Speaker 1: going to tell me that, you know, they were the 1157 00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: most wrong, and he's not so obviously the injury regression 1158 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: will go on their side again and I'll hear that. 1159 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 1: But until that, like, I still have this weird feeling 1160 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: where every time I watch Dan Campbell he does the 1161 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,879 Speaker 1: same thing, which is he over coaches and he makes 1162 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: bad decisions in big spots that actually end up hindering 1163 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: this power ranking. I think the biggest deficit in some 1164 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 1: ways is in a lot of ways, their best asset, 1165 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: which is they've got a good head coach. He's a 1166 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: really good football guy. But my god, does the overcoach 1167 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 1: and then under coach when it matters the most, and 1168 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 1: every time they get into any pressureized situation, he finds 1169 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 1: a way to put them on the outside of it. 1170 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: And he's done it in the playoffs and now he's 1171 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 1: doing it in regular season games. And I just can't 1172 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 1: handle Dan Campbell anymore. So I'm putting the lines at 1173 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: seven and I'm waiting for them to either collapse or 1174 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: figure it out. But I think it's it's more arrowed 1175 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,160 Speaker 1: down for me with the Lions and up Andrew. What 1176 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: do you think? 1177 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 4: I also have them at seven, but it's a spot 1178 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 4: that I don't feel super confident in having them here 1179 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 4: because they're a team that does scare me because of 1180 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 4: things you outlined where well, what if this offense gets 1181 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 4: back to it's forming mean I yet that offense last 1182 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 4: year was a disappointment, but it's still really yeah, Like 1183 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 4: that's the thing, Like you look at the final season numbers. 1184 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 4: I know it's still and I know that a lot 1185 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 4: of it was. You know, they beat up on some 1186 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 4: really bad teams. They had opportunity to score a lot 1187 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 4: of points, but still they were what I think they 1188 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 4: were fourth in points per game. So it was obviously 1189 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,479 Speaker 4: a falloff from the year before when they were number 1190 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 4: one in points per game, but there's still like a 1191 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 4: fringe top five offense, and I don't even know you 1192 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 4: can really apply fringe when you're talking about a team 1193 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 4: that finishes top five in scoring. Defense, I think is 1194 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 4: going to be healthier. So I think getting back to 1195 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 4: an established rushing game, how does this interier offensive line 1196 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 4: kind of shake out? 1197 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: Right? 1198 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,359 Speaker 4: Because that was the biggest thing last year where they 1199 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 4: weren't as effective running the football, they were able to 1200 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 4: throw the ball effectively against opposing defenses. And the thing 1201 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 4: that probably scares me the most about not having them 1202 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 4: ranked high enough is I looked at the schedule. They 1203 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 4: have the easiest strength of schedule among every single team 1204 00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 4: in the NFL. So I was staring at them and 1205 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 4: the team we're going to talk about I think soon 1206 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 4: as well, the Chicago Bears, And I wasn't confident that 1207 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 4: I should be ranking the Bears over the Lions. The 1208 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 4: Bears won the division last year, and I didn't feel 1209 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,839 Speaker 4: really great about putting the Lions behind them because look 1210 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 4: to Dan Campbell's point the credit, I mean, this team 1211 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 4: has won a lot of games, and last year they 1212 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 4: lost both their coordinators. That's not the case this season 1213 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,720 Speaker 4: necessarily like they've a little bit more experienced in that avenue. 1214 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 4: So yeah, the Lions, I'm not super confident where I 1215 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 4: have them, and I feel like I'm hedging putting them 1216 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 4: at seven. 1217 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: All right, dee bro Lions talk. 1218 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 3: They are fourth in my rankings. I'm putting respect on 1219 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 3: their name. 1220 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,919 Speaker 2: I think that they're going to dude, there were fifth 1221 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 2: in points and fifth in total yards last year. The 1222 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 2: offense is totally fine. All their offensive line is going 1223 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,439 Speaker 2: to be massively improved. Like the addition to Cade Mays 1224 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 2: at center, They're not going to play Tate Ratledge out 1225 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 2: of place. You can make an easy conversation of Tate 1226 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,239 Speaker 2: Ravlie played really really damn good football down the back 1227 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,359 Speaker 2: half of last year once he got his legs under him. 1228 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 2: The addition of Blake Miller Pinney Sewell kicking over to 1229 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 2: those side, they have swing tackle Larry Borham, they have 1230 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 2: depth on the offensive line, and I think they're gonna 1231 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 2: gel there. If they just can get their freaking defense 1232 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 2: to stay healthy throughout the entirety of a season, that 1233 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,479 Speaker 2: they are going to be never that's my problem with Okay, 1234 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 2: so you think that that can't happen after the attrition 1235 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,399 Speaker 2: of injuries of the last two years. 1236 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 3: It will not happen. Straight up, it will not happen, 1237 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:22,479 Speaker 3: Joe all. 1238 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,840 Speaker 1: I can say every year these guys said, it can't happen. 1239 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,760 Speaker 1: For every year, these guys can't stay healthy. They're another 1240 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 1: year older in the NFL. 1241 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're not old. 1242 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: Boy. That's the problem with that conversation is they're not old. 1243 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,320 Speaker 1: They're not an old roster. They don't They're not littered 1244 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:38,719 Speaker 1: with old players. 1245 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 3: Is not old. 1246 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 2: They just and they added Derek Moore, they added Jimmy 1247 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 2: Rolder to the to compensate for losing Alexandeloni. If DJ Reid, 1248 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 2: who is not an old player, can stay healthy, then 1249 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 2: this defense can be massively improved. And I love the 1250 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 2: fact that they picked up Roger McCreery, who played some 1251 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 2: of the best football of his entire freaking career last 1252 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 2: year at Nickel. Like, if their defense can even be 1253 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 2: now I'm not even saying top seven, top ten, whatever. 1254 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 2: If they could be like the thirteenth ranked defense and 1255 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 2: the damn NFL and their offense does what they did 1256 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 2: last year again this year, they're going to be a 1257 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:14,200 Speaker 2: top five team. 1258 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:15,440 Speaker 3: They're gonna win the Division. 1259 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: All right, everybody, we're gonna go to the top six 1260 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,720 Speaker 1: here in just a moment.

I thought that 1286 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: was very nice. Joe, thank you very much. It's nice 1287 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 1: when you say nice things. I like the positivity. 1288 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 3: Oh. 1289 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's gonna go out the window with this 1290 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 1: next Oh it will, it will? Number six San Francisco 1291 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,239 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. I know people have higher. I don't know. 1292 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,359 Speaker 1: Maybe you got them lower. I hope. 1293 00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:44,399 Speaker 3: So no, I got him at six. 1294 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm surprised where I've read. I've got him at six. 1295 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine ers seem to have an 1296 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,360 Speaker 1: annual tradition which is not doing a good job of 1297 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: the NFL draft. This is a trend now for the 1298 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: last couple of years for the forty nine ers, and 1299 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 1: I think it's showing up now finally, because this roster 1300 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: is so top heavy. It's like when you're playing Djengo 1301 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,399 Speaker 1: with a bunch of your drunken friends. That's how top 1302 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,879 Speaker 1: heavy this roster is right now. And one little piece 1303 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: that you take out of it, it fits Christian McCaffrey 1304 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 1: or George Kittle. For too long, everything comes falling down. 1305 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: And what have they done? They put another old piece 1306 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: on top of Mike Evans, who I love. He's a 1307 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, but he is an older player at 1308 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: this point, at the end of his career. Ricky Piersoll 1309 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: hasn't been the thing, you know. I know, there's that 1310 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: brazenness of Kyle Shanahan that I could take mac Jones 1311 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: and when I could do all this, that's great, that's great, 1312 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 1: except for the top heaviness, the age, the Christian McCaffrey 1313 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,480 Speaker 1: coming off the massive workload of last year again and 1314 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 1: another year older. I just can't get behind it. And 1315 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 1: I can't put them any further now. I'm putting them 1316 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,200 Speaker 1: up where they are because they have the talent they have. 1317 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,120 Speaker 1: But again, it's an older team that is incredibly top heavy, 1318 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 1: that feels like a stack of cards waiting to fall down. 1319 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: Oh and last year they had a really easy schedule, 1320 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 1: and oh this year it's gonna be tougher. Deebro, what 1321 00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the forty nine ers? Since you 1322 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: and I see to eye in the ranking, but I, 1323 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 1: as you could tell, if you want to make the 1324 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: case for the Lions over them, I'm ready to hear it. 1325 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 1: I I. 1326 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 2: Felt like I had to put respect on their name 1327 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 2: considering how many games they win every single year and 1328 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But I have the same 1329 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 2: concerns you have with the top heavy nature of this roster, 1330 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 2: of the how quickly this roster has gotten old. Is 1331 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:24,479 Speaker 2: dirt and bury injury prone like you talked about Christian McCaffrey. Okay, 1332 00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 2: well yeah, in Mike Evans, Ricky Piersall, Christian Kirk, George 1333 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 2: Kittle's coming off, in Achilles, Trent Williams is another year older, 1334 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 2: Robert Jones is dealt with injuries man like Nick Bosa's 1335 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 2: been hurt, Drake Greenlaws had injury issues, Fred Warner's had 1336 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:40,720 Speaker 2: injury issues. 1337 00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 3: Mikel Williams was hurt last year. 1338 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 2: It's a whole lot of what if and I hope 1339 00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 2: it turns out right. But again, I can only push 1340 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 2: him so low because if everybody does stay healthy, they're 1341 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 2: probably fighting for the division and a playoff, berth and 1342 00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. 1343 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 3: So I've got a crap ton of concerns. 1344 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 2: And then the forty nine ers will go out and 1345 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 2: win eleven games or twelve games this year and shove 1346 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 2: them my base again, who knows, I. 1347 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: Don't know, Ericson, I worry about it. They're the really 1348 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 1: worst out of this division. Ericson to me, are they 1349 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: not for you? 1350 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 3: No, they're not. 1351 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 4: They are the second best team is the division and 1352 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 4: their mind number two ranked team in the NFL. Wow, 1353 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 4: Because I'm buying people, I'm buying the people. I'm buying 1354 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 4: the top heavyness of the forty nine ers in terms 1355 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 4: of what they have a lot of band aids at 1356 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 4: these spots. But hey, Mike Evan, this is some time. 1357 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 4: But we have these other guys that we can use instead. Well, 1358 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,040 Speaker 4: he comes back from his injury, we can use Christian Kirk. 1359 00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 4: And while Christian Kirk is heard, we can use bricky pearsol, 1360 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 4: we can use so I just think that. 1361 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:41,440 Speaker 1: They're at the same time. 1362 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 3: What if they all go out at the same time, Well. 1363 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 4: That's where this thing crashes and burns. But I think 1364 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 4: that their their defense has to be healthy last year. 1365 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 4: Their defense has to be healthier than it was last year. 1366 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 4: It's I don't think it's possible for them to be 1367 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 4: more injured on defense. They had nobody left last year 1368 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 4: and losing Saul is obviously a big deal. He got 1369 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 4: the most out of that defen defense. 1370 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: Not good point. 1371 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 4: I think Rareie Morris as a defensive coordinator that he's 1372 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 4: no slouch. 1373 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 3: Like. 1374 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 4: I don't think that he. 1375 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 3: Did it just sucks as a head coach. He's good 1376 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 3: at the DC. 1377 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think that him is a filling in 1378 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 4: as the DC. I think that the defense is going 1379 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 4: to be back to average and frankly, with Kyle Shannon 1380 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 4: calling the shots, I think this office is going to 1381 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 4: cook no matter what, He's going to make it work. 1382 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 4: That's what he does every single year. When guys miss time, 1383 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,000 Speaker 4: guys get injured. He miss Brock Purdy his starting quarterback 1384 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 4: last year, and he made it work with Mac Jones 1385 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,080 Speaker 4: they beat the Rams on Thursday Night Football with Mac 1386 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 4: Jones and Kendrick Bourne and a bunch of Jabroni's and 1387 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,440 Speaker 4: they beat the team that we all view, I think 1388 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 4: as the number one team in the NFC. So he 1389 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 4: just makes it. 1390 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 3: Get weirdast weird. 1391 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 4: And then there's a battle tested battle. 1392 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: So you know I have because they've been fighting since 1393 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,120 Speaker 1: the War of eighteen twelve, because that's how oldest freaking essentially, Yes, 1394 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,960 Speaker 1: my god, all right, let's get to number five here. 1395 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: This is one I struggled with a lot too, The 1396 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, which the team that did not do 1397 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,160 Speaker 1: a lot to make me excited year over year. If 1398 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was how to start the season, I might 1399 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: feel differently about this and more excited about it. But 1400 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: I do still like Jordan Love. It's another guy that 1401 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 1: annually seems to miss a couple of games, which is 1402 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,400 Speaker 1: not great. I like what the Packers do. I look 1403 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Hardgrave Franklin. Those those are nice additions. But I'm just 1404 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of at a stand stip with the Packers because 1405 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: they were kind of at a standstill year over year. Andrew, 1406 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:20,959 Speaker 1: I don't know where you have the Packers. I feel 1407 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 1: like They're still very competitive. 1408 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 3: Very good. 1409 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I need to take notice of them and give them credit. 1410 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I can't make them in 1411 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the top three. I just can't do it. 1412 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 4: I will not put them in the top three. I 1413 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 4: have them at eight because I they're going to have 1414 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 4: Michael Carson's they didn't win a game after he got 1415 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 4: her last year, Like I think that really explains at all. 1416 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 4: They trade all their future again when is That's a 1417 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,720 Speaker 4: real question, and I think that him, especially if he's 1418 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 4: not one hundred percent or Eve's even playing games to 1419 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 4: start the year. Well, the Packers, whe Week one comes along, 1420 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 4: they're not going to be anywhere near the top ten 1421 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 4: in my power rankings because they're missing their best player 1422 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,680 Speaker 4: on defense, who felt their absence significantly last year. Their 1423 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 4: other best offensive player, Chucker Craft. He's also coming off 1424 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,720 Speaker 4: a season ending injury, so not as concerned about his 1425 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 4: injury long term. I think that he will be back 1426 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 4: and playing, but how effective will he be? So I 1427 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 4: think that this team just has major pass rush concerns 1428 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 4: without Parsons. So that's why I have them at eight. 1429 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 4: And Jonathan Gannon kind of stepping in as a defensive 1430 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 4: coordinator Arizona defense last year. The year before that, not good. 1431 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,040 Speaker 4: Nate Hobbs, DeVante White, other guys coming back after of 1432 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 4: season ending injuries. So that's where I get really concerned 1433 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,920 Speaker 4: about the green Bay Packers and why I have of eight. 1434 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 3: Well Man, So let's talk about it. Yeah, I've got 1435 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:33,720 Speaker 3: him at a too. 1436 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 2: And I'm concerned because we all collectively looked at the 1437 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,200 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers defense last year and we all said, oh, 1438 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 2: good lord, how are they going to stop anybody outside 1439 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,840 Speaker 2: of Michael Parsons. And we all learned that Jeff Hafley 1440 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 2: is one of the best DC's in the entire freaking NFL. 1441 01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 2: So I think you look at a defense that played 1442 01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 2: way above it's playing weight last year, they fought way 1443 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 2: above their weight class. I think a lot of that 1444 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 2: comes back to Earth what he would to talk talk about, 1445 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 2: who's healthy, and then scheme and Jonathan Gannon. Plus their 1446 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 2: offensive line isn't exactly amazing, dude, Like, we got questions 1447 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 2: all across the offensive line, like could Jordan Morgan step 1448 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 2: in as as a good left tackle? Sean Ryan at center? Like, 1449 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 2: so I've got a lot of questions outside of injuries 1450 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 2: and productivity, like I'm actually giving where we have them ranked. 1451 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 2: I feel like it's giving a heavy nod to the 1452 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 2: floor to figure it the hell out, and not a 1453 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 2: ton of on paper amazingness. 1454 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I agree, I don't like I said, I 1455 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 1: don't love it, but I couldn't find and I couldn't 1456 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: push the lower Here's the thing. 1457 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,919 Speaker 4: Though, Like you should put the forty nine ers ahead 1458 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 4: of the Packers. 1459 01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 1: No, no, but here, no no, I won't because they're 1460 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,880 Speaker 1: so fricking old and they're so top heavy, and I 1461 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: hate the rest of that roster. If you pull back 1462 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: two layers of that onion, oh my god, doesn't stink. 1463 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just telling you right now, like it 1464 01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 1: is bad and I'm crushing the metaphors on today. I 1465 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: got just like what what what? 1466 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 3: Let's go. 1467 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 1: The next one. Here, we're gonna talk about all right, 1468 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna talk about my was it the fourth ranked team? 1469 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. I think belief is a little important, and 1470 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 1: I think Chicago Bears found a way to believe in themselves. 1471 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 1: I think Cole said love one's going to be a 1472 01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: problem for the rest of the NFL, and Ben Johnson's 1473 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,760 Speaker 1: gonna utilize him the right way. I think Burden and 1474 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 1: a Doonzay will be just fine without DJ Moore around there. 1475 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, I've been probably the toughest on Caleb Williams 1476 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 1: of maybe anybody that we work with here, But I 1477 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: have to give credit. Caleb Williams found a lot of 1478 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 1: ways to win games, and I think that stuff gets 1479 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 1: a little bit kind of I don't know, winning Breed's 1480 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: winning and losing Breeds losing, and when you start to 1481 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 1: win games, you feel like you can win any game. 1482 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,440 Speaker 1: I think that's really interesting. I also think it's really 1483 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:41,920 Speaker 1: interesting going back to the last point too, that you 1484 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,280 Speaker 1: guys are so many people are bullish about certain guys 1485 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: returns from injuries, but you know, like Patrick Mahomes, this guy, 1486 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,240 Speaker 1: this gotta be back, this everything will be fine. But 1487 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 1: yet Michael Parsons will be in week fifteen. He's got 1488 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 1: plenty of time to recover from that injury. I think 1489 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 1: he'll be back sooner than later. I just don't think 1490 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be week one ish necessarily. But with 1491 01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 1: the Bear, I just think we're in a spot where 1492 01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,000 Speaker 1: my big concern with them is did they do enough 1493 01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 1: to replace the guys they lost in the secondary. I 1494 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 1: don't think they have, so that to me is a 1495 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 1: big question mark. Other than that, I think we're just 1496 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 1: gonna put my faith in Ben Johnson, which scares the 1497 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:14,880 Speaker 1: crap out of me Andrew, but I'm gonna do it. 1498 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 4: I think that's the only thing you can do if 1499 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 4: you're gonna put him. This high is been on Ben 1500 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 4: Johnson and Caleb Williams taking another step because we all 1501 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 4: talked about in a lot of our mock drafts. Bear's 1502 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,960 Speaker 4: got a draft an edge rusher. They got to get 1503 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 4: more pass rush. The pass russ was non existent last year. 1504 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 4: What did they not do? It didn't draft the pass 1505 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 4: They were thirty first and pass rush win rate last year. 1506 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 4: They were also twenty ninth yards allowed. I know they 1507 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,439 Speaker 4: drafted Dylan Fieneman, safety that we really like, but he's 1508 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 4: still a rookie that's taking on a massive role in 1509 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 4: that secondary. So yeah, this could be an offense that 1510 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 4: we love for fantasy because it's shootout, shootout, shootout, because 1511 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 4: its defense like last year, can't stop anything. And Caleb 1512 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 4: Williams is just Luther Burden Colson love and like, we 1513 01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 4: love it, But how many wins did they get especially 1514 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 4: with last year being all the second half comebacks, all 1515 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 4: the defensive turnovers that they have every close game, so everybody. 1516 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 4: This was another one I struggled with was the Bears 1517 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 4: and the Lions. I was very torn on which one 1518 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 4: I liked more to win this division. I know that 1519 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,040 Speaker 4: Debro so that he likes the Lions. Joe, you obviously 1520 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,960 Speaker 4: like the Bears here, But going back to looking at 1521 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 4: who has a harder path to get through, the Lions 1522 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 4: have the number one easiest schedule in the NFL. The 1523 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 4: Bears have the twenty seventh rank schedule point is, so 1524 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 4: I Debro had kind of convinced me a little bit 1525 01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 4: here that yes, I love the Bears offense, but the 1526 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 4: Lions offense is no slouch either, and defensively, if they're 1527 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,800 Speaker 4: both kind of average, I almost kind of lean towards. Look, 1528 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,400 Speaker 4: the Lions is just gonna have an easier path to 1529 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,479 Speaker 4: get more wins than if they split. When they face 1530 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 4: each other head to head, then I think the Lions 1531 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 4: might be able to come up on top here. So 1532 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:53,680 Speaker 4: that's something I might make an adjustment. But I do 1533 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 4: still have the Bears. Even if I move them down one, 1534 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,240 Speaker 4: they'll be six or seven. 1535 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,200 Speaker 1: I did not make those ranking without the knowledge of 1536 01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 1: the worst get out. I did not make this ranking 1537 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,440 Speaker 1: without the acknowledgement of the fact that every single ball 1538 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:07,600 Speaker 1: bounced their way last year. 1539 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,000 Speaker 3: And I mean every single one everyone. 1540 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: But but when I come back to football is a 1541 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,480 Speaker 1: young man's game, and this is a young team, a 1542 01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: young explosive team, a young athletic team. And I look 1543 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 1: at some of these other teams, like the forty nine 1544 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 1: ers were old af and I just go, are they 1545 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 1: gonna hold up for this many weeks? 1546 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1547 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my money with the Bears instead, in 1548 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 1: that youth and inexperience, not knowing that they shouldn't be 1549 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 1: good two years in a row. De bro, I know 1550 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,959 Speaker 1: you disagree, so let's talk about it. I'll just begin 1551 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 1: my rant with this the Bear up a chair. 1552 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:45,320 Speaker 4: Like every every signature, every second half. 1553 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:49,320 Speaker 2: When the twenty twenty five Chicago Bears set an NFL 1554 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 2: record by winning seven games in which they trailed going 1555 01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 2: into the final two minutes in the regular that doesn't 1556 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 2: show you heart and the playoffs, that doesn't show you 1557 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 2: a little bit, also shows you a ship ton of luck. 1558 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 4: Predictive cannot tell me that it doesn't. 1559 01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 1: You can't predict heart. Come on, guys, you can't. 1560 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 2: You can't like pulling something out of your butt to 1561 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 2: sit here and win a game at the very end 1562 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 2: of the game when you. 1563 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 3: Throw up a total yolo ball into the damn end zone. No, man, 1564 01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,559 Speaker 3: like I, I just can't like. So much went right 1565 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 3: for them. 1566 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 1: Also, like Erickson talked about, like their defense man, their 1567 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 1: defense led the NFL in turnover percentage last year. 1568 01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 3: But they also if you look at the rest of 1569 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 3: their stuff, like. 1570 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: They gave up the six most rushing yards, they got 1571 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,760 Speaker 1: eviscerated through the air, the second like the eleventh most 1572 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 1: passing yards. It was all turnovers and magic at the 1573 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 1: end of games. If all of that goes even if 1574 01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,720 Speaker 1: half of that goes sideways, this isn't an eleven or 1575 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:49,840 Speaker 1: twelve win team. This is an eight win team. 1576 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,400 Speaker 3: This year. I have them at seven. 1577 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 1: I'm putting respect on their name, but I'm also being 1578 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 1: realistic that all of this magic of they were the 1579 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders of last season, some of that, if not 1580 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 1: all of that, can come back to earth in twenty 1581 01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: twenty six. All Right, there you have it, everybody. We 1582 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: have some disagreements respectfully about the Chicago Bears. I believe 1583 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 1: in heart, I believe in You believe in a lot 1584 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 1: of magic. 1585 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,880 Speaker 3: You believe in a tonne, and I believe in in 1586 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,680 Speaker 3: a lucky penny. That's what you believe in it. 1587 01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,599 Speaker 1: Hey, man, all right, let's get to the top three 1588 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 1: teams here. I know we're running along here. Top three. 1589 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,920 Speaker 1: You know, to be the man, you gotta beat the man. 1590 01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,840 Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles are still the man. I think to 1591 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:36,160 Speaker 1: a certain degree, I do think that eventually, when the 1592 01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 1: jettison of AJ Brown happens, it might actually be really 1593 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,760 Speaker 1: good for everybody. Like I think that kind of now, 1594 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 1: I do think Nix sirian is kind of on the 1595 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: hot seat, which I know sounds crazy because they just 1596 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:46,800 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl a couple of years ago. But 1597 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: it's Philadelphia, and when things go in south, they go 1598 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 1: south fast way into South Philadelphia where they start getting 1599 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 1: real upset about, you know, like you gotta go to 1600 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:57,760 Speaker 1: wall Wah and get a hoogie and go down and 1601 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,360 Speaker 1: talk about how bad Nick Sirianni is And I like 1602 01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 1: how he's what he's doing there is terrible. They suck 1603 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: freaking Eagles, man, Like I think You're in a spot 1604 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 1: right now where there's a lot of good that I 1605 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 1: could see coming from the Eagles season. But as I 1606 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, sometimes the Eagles played down to their competition, 1607 01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 1: and I don't love that about them either. They a 1608 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,720 Speaker 1: lot of weird games last year where you're like, why 1609 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 1: aren't the Eagles just crushing this team and they're not, 1610 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,560 Speaker 1: and that pissed me off. And I will still go 1611 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 1: with the Eagles at three. Debro Where do you have them, 1612 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 1: I assume in your top three? 1613 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,559 Speaker 2: Still right, Oh yeah, they're third, and a down season 1614 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 2: for the Eagles was still eleven games being yeah, right exactly. 1615 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,640 Speaker 2: I still think they're one of the best teams in 1616 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,600 Speaker 2: the NFC, Like obviously, like I'm put him in the 1617 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 2: third here, Like I think they're gonna compete with the 1618 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. It's gonna be them those two teams for 1619 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,599 Speaker 2: the division. I think both teams have rosters that could 1620 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 2: win anywhere from eleven to like thirteen fourteen games. So 1621 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,560 Speaker 2: I think the Eagles can be better this year. You know, 1622 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,479 Speaker 2: losing Jalen Phillips, but then they trade for Jonathan Gernard, 1623 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,760 Speaker 2: they still have a da defensive rock. Like even with 1624 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 2: losing to Kobe Dean. They still got Jod Campbell, they 1625 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,680 Speaker 2: still got Zach Bond, they still got Nolan Smith. The 1626 01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 2: defensive line is still stacked. Like their secondary is really 1627 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,240 Speaker 2: freaking good. If they get better offensive output this year, 1628 01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,599 Speaker 2: like if Saquon Barkley, who had pretty much a really 1629 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 2: down season for him, if he can bounce back and 1630 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 2: the offensive line can be a little bit healthier this year, Yeah, 1631 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 2: they're They're They're a definitive Super Bowl contender. 1632 01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 1: Offense has to play better. Ericson that. That's my third Eagles, 1633 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 1: Like you got to like reimagine the offense a little 1634 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,480 Speaker 1: bit and hopefully they can the season. 1635 01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 2: Well, they'll actually have an oc hopefully that can call 1636 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 2: plays outside of Brian Johnson and Kevin Patulo, who got 1637 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 2: all two of the worst OCAs in the entire freaking NFL. 1638 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 1: Do you think that turnaround for the offense with the Eagles? 1639 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 4: And maybe at some point. So I don't have them 1640 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,760 Speaker 4: in my top three because I have for nine ers 1641 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 4: in my top three. So neither of you mentioned again 1642 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 4: bourn Niners very top heavy. What happens when the Eagles 1643 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,960 Speaker 4: lose Lane Johnson? Right, this is another team that's also 1644 01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:02,280 Speaker 4: very top heavy tackle, rookie tackle. Yeah, let's throw him 1645 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:03,479 Speaker 4: into the fire. He'll do great. 1646 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,040 Speaker 3: What if he stays healthy? 1647 01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:08,680 Speaker 4: What if Trn Williams stays healthy? But all the forty 1648 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 4: nine ers, guys, you are like ready to write off. 1649 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 4: It's like there's no way they can ever play all 1650 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 4: over again. 1651 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,440 Speaker 1: Williams good offensive line, and the Eagles. 1652 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,000 Speaker 4: Are They're regardless. We know that the Eagles when they 1653 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,320 Speaker 4: lose Lane Johnson, they don't play as well. I remember 1654 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:23,600 Speaker 4: because I bet on them in the playoffs and I 1655 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 4: lost Lane Johnson and I was very sad and upset 1656 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,439 Speaker 4: about it because I didn't know until later on after 1657 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 4: I had already made my wagers. So I'm not really 1658 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,400 Speaker 4: super high on Sean Mannon as the offensive coordinator going 1659 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 4: to Philadelphia. And even if it is better than it's 1660 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 4: been in past years, does it take some time to gel? 1661 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,439 Speaker 4: Does it take time for the new offense? Okay, they're 1662 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,160 Speaker 4: gonna be thrown over the middle of the field. Okay, 1663 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,760 Speaker 4: that's great, Hurts we've seen. Okay, can you do me 1664 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 4: be better? Throwing over the middle field? Well, this has 1665 01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:49,560 Speaker 4: been something he's been asked to do a lot of 1666 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,320 Speaker 4: So is it new how long does this take the 1667 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 4: gel And when we look at their health last year. 1668 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,080 Speaker 4: I like pointing this out because the Baltimore Ravens were 1669 01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 4: the healthiest team in the NFL in twenty twenty four. 1670 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 4: What happened to that twenty five? Things unraveled for them? 1671 01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 4: The Eagles were of the second healthiest team in the 1672 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 4: NFL last year, second healthiest offense in the NFC last 1673 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,840 Speaker 4: year in terms of adjusted games lost. So if they 1674 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,360 Speaker 4: run into some injury issues on both offense and defense, 1675 01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 4: defense we know also is in a sticky from year 1676 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 4: to year. Their defense goes from elite to just average, Okay, 1677 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,120 Speaker 4: then maybe they are losing a couple more games. What 1678 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 4: is the transition from aj Brown to McKay Lemon. Aj 1679 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 4: Brown I think is still a better player. Right now. 1680 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 4: You can make the argument what was his state of 1681 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,679 Speaker 4: mind in the offense? How effective was he actually helping? 1682 01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,880 Speaker 4: I get that, But mackay Lemon is still a rookie 1683 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,839 Speaker 4: and they lost their elite offensive line coach Jeff Stoutlin. 1684 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,240 Speaker 4: So those are my concerns. Again, I have them four, 1685 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,200 Speaker 4: but there are reasons why I'm pushing a team like 1686 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:44,920 Speaker 4: the forty nine ers ahead of them. Who Also, how 1687 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:46,960 Speaker 4: many games did the fordy Iers win last year? Didn't 1688 01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 4: they win like eleven years? 1689 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:54,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, Williams is thirty seven? Keep that? 1690 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 4: How old is Lane Johnson? Thirty six? He's gonna be 1691 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 4: around It's got to be around there too. It's got 1692 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:02,639 Speaker 4: thirty six. 1693 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:09,000 Speaker 1: It's not thirty seven. I win, I win? All right, 1694 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,800 Speaker 1: Let's we go to the top two teams. The number two, 1695 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,679 Speaker 1: the number one. Number two is the reigning defending Super 1696 01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 1: Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Like that defense is still elaitd. 1697 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry everybody, Like we can all pretend like it 1698 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 1: ain't it is. I think they ken Walker lost Hurts 1699 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: and Sharbadin's not there, but they drafted Jeneering Prize. Do 1700 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 1: I expect Sam Donald to be brilliant? No, I expect 1701 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 1: them to be fine. They lose the coordinator though Klin 1702 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,559 Speaker 1: Kubiak going on to become a head coach, and they 1703 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,760 Speaker 1: lose ken Walker. Those are two big losses. But I 1704 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:37,680 Speaker 1: still think that Seattle defense is great. Look, this was 1705 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,120 Speaker 1: one of my favorite win totals last year. They were 1706 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:40,800 Speaker 1: eight and a half and I thought it was completely wrong, 1707 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,360 Speaker 1: And I was right about it because the defense is great, 1708 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 1: and it brings us to our number one team here, 1709 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,439 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. Boom spoiler alert, say we're in 1710 01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,880 Speaker 1: the shirt today. The Rams are the best team in paper, 1711 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 1: but they've got to start putting on the field, like 1712 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 1: they've got to stop losing these weird games to teams 1713 01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 1: like the Carolina Panthers. And of course I am worried 1714 01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 1: about DeVante Adams b another year older, I am worried 1715 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,639 Speaker 1: about all the Pooka Nakula stuff, not just what's happening 1716 01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 1: off the field, but even on the field. Like we 1717 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 1: know Pukanakua plays all out every play. The problem is 1718 01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 1: sometimes he's in the blue tent too much. Lots of 1719 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 1: reasons there. But when we talk about the raigning MVP, 1720 01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about one of the best coaches in the league. 1721 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,640 Speaker 1: If you have coaching quarterback, you have a chance. And 1722 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:21,640 Speaker 1: like I think Vegas agrees with me too. When you 1723 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,000 Speaker 1: look at the win total for them and you look 1724 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,800 Speaker 1: at the favorites for the Super Bowl, the Rams are 1725 01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 1: right up there. So Rams won Seahawks two Debro discuss 1726 01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:30,640 Speaker 1: what do you think here with these two one and 1727 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:31,200 Speaker 1: two spots? 1728 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 3: Here we're in lockstep. My big problem or my biggest 1729 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:36,160 Speaker 3: concern with. 1730 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,640 Speaker 2: The Rams is going back to a very forty nine 1731 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:44,280 Speaker 2: Ers esque type of conversation where Staffords had injury concerns. 1732 01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:48,160 Speaker 2: Their offensive line has had injury concerns, Puka's had injury concerns, 1733 01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 2: DeVante Adams has injury concerns. 1734 01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 3: This is why I crushed them in the draft, because. 1735 01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:54,600 Speaker 1: They made all these future moves, but they're just like 1736 01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:57,879 Speaker 1: it's like they pretended like they're not a super Bowl favorite, 1737 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 1: or they leaned so heavily on that if they do 1738 01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,320 Speaker 1: with any type of like injury, uh the injury war 1739 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 1: of attrition, Like they could be plummeting down there and 1740 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 1: missed the freaking playoffs this year. 1741 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:11,679 Speaker 3: Like that wouldn't surprise me either. 1742 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,360 Speaker 1: But like if they stay healthy, hell yeah, they're the 1743 01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 1: best team in the NFC, Like right up there with 1744 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Like they're one and two and that that 1745 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,280 Speaker 1: that cannedy be questioned about who is one and two, 1746 01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:23,679 Speaker 1: Like they're your order, But these are the two best 1747 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,800 Speaker 1: teams in the NFC, but out of out when you 1748 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 1: look at the top two teams, I have way more 1749 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,559 Speaker 1: questions about the Rams than I do the freaking Seahawks. 1750 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:35,040 Speaker 1: The Seahawks death is like it crushes the Rams. It does, 1751 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 1: but I'll still take the quarterback. No, agree, That's why 1752 01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: than take a quarterback over Sam Donald. And look, Sam 1753 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Donald won a super Bowl. That's great the Super Bowl. 1754 01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,120 Speaker 1: Sam Donald came along for the run. And to that point, though, 1755 01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 1: the defense of the Rams, I mean Jared versus a 1756 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 1: game wrecker. There's a lot to like here with the Rams. 1757 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 1: The offense, but the Rams defense is a lot better 1758 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 1: than people give them credit for. 1759 01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:59,719 Speaker 4: Two Andrew Yes, and they've added the players in their secondary, 1760 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 4: which one of their biggest weaknesses. Addressing that Trent McDuff y, 1761 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 4: Kalen Watson basically taking taking the Casey secondary. That was very, 1762 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,519 Speaker 4: very great in their scheme. So they're my number one 1763 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,320 Speaker 4: team and I don't need to talk about the forty 1764 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 4: nine ers anymore. I have Seattle on the spot behind 1765 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,400 Speaker 4: them at three just because losing Klint Kubiak, I think 1766 01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 4: that matters significantly. We've seen teams offensively fall off and 1767 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 4: when they lose a really influential playmaker or excuse me, 1768 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 4: play caller like Kubiak. And the Seahawks were also the 1769 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 4: third healthiest offense last year. So if going back to 1770 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,320 Speaker 4: top five defense, yes, that's what they should be viewed 1771 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,519 Speaker 4: at and projected at. But what if they're not. What 1772 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 4: if they're just more of an average defense and they're 1773 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 4: not winning games every single week because of their defense. 1774 01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 4: Can the offense pick up the slack? Maybe not without Kubiak, 1775 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 4: Sam Darnold, That's the only thing I've concerned. But still 1776 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,439 Speaker 4: have them at number three. I just I just I 1777 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 4: don't know. I just think I'm betting on the upside 1778 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 4: of the forty nine ers. I think that they just 1779 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,920 Speaker 4: get a bit of better injury luck. I think that 1780 01:17:57,920 --> 01:17:59,080 Speaker 4: they can win a lot of games. Look, this is 1781 01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 4: team was like, we're presenting the NFCM Super Bowl like 1782 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 4: year after year. So again Nantasy West, and this goes 1783 01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,479 Speaker 4: back to our original point we started. Why the Arizona 1784 01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 4: Cardinals are going to have the worst record in the 1785 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 4: NFL because I have to face all of these top 1786 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 4: teams two times this year. 1787 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 1: Well, all these top teams in that division, by the way, 1788 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: Vegas has all all three of them have ten and 1789 01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:19,840 Speaker 1: a half wins as their win total over under. 1790 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:21,639 Speaker 3: So that's exact three. 1791 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 1: Teams in one division with double digit win total.
