Big announcement. I like 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.600 the Curtain Club actually, you know, after last year's crammed 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.680 in room, rebuilding an entirely different space for us this 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:39.919 time renovation it's appropriate. Yeah, very good. So we're looking 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.959 forward to that. Obviously. We're very excited to head back overseas. UM, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.880 so please join us, uh and we'll have a pint 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.200 together or three or four? All right, this is the 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:56.440 week four preview show. Can you believe it? Week four already, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.639 and we are going to go through each of the 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.840 week war games, with the exception of Thursday Night Football. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.040 We preview that on Tuesday's show and UM in the 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.640 mini pod that will follow later tonight hopefully. You know, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.280 there's some technical concerns. Greg is very nervous. It's gonna 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.840 be Wes and Greg handling. I'm not nervous to have 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.799 Eagles Packers game. If it's responsibility, if it doesn't show 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.520 up in your file. Just know that West got confused 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.400 and then Greg washed his hands of it. The process 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.560 not in that order. Oh, Greg's already washed. The process 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.400 seems to require nothing beyond common sense. You're right, You're 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.200 absolutely right. I think we can handle it, Greg, Greg. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.360 I don't know West. You know like West. When I 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.480 think West, I don't think technological savvy right off the top, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.960 that's fair. Go in with that chip on your shoulder. West, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.200 I don't like you being you know, a presumed to 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:56.160 not be technically oriented sling. I survive in the world 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.480 of two thousand nineteen, so it must be okay when 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.080 it comes to you. Also, gotta have wife is a 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.920 very smart world. She's like borderline millennial. I'm fine. Spice 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.360 Wreck might be there. He obviously could help out if needed. 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.720 I was keeping the party a little slimmer this time. Um, yes, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.840 so you'll get that. We have Let's figure out who 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:21.400 we're talking about today. Thirty two teams, two teams on 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:30.720 by two teams that already talked about teams divide by 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.919 two fourteen games to talk got there? Got there? Everyone? 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.719 Everyone thinks I don't. I'm not going to get there. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.920 I always get there. Might be a couple of wrong turns, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.559 but I always get to the destination. I'm concerning myself 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.200 because I was about to tell you that it was 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.080 twenty six teams and you were incorrect. That whole little 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.280 you know part of the show. That's the one part 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.360 of the show I approve of people listening to at 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.839 double speed. You know, otherwise listen to us normally, but 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.240 if you want to speed it up for that, that's 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.800 an authentic moment in the show, and authentic moments are 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.760 always welcome. Um. Yeah, So we're gonna go through all 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.960 the games. We'll do it draft style, uh snake style. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.040 We're gonna work out the kinks. I you know, as 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.040 the host of the show, bad job by me by 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.799 messing up the draft order. But if some people picked 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.200 up on last week and and put out there on Twitter, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.159 well we have the guys that built road a world 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.520 brick by brick, guys have been involved with a trillion 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:24.320 fantasy drafts. Could have could have been the whistleblower here. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.719 We all should be more aware of this. Whistle blower 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.840 culture is hot right now. And all right, who has 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.320 the first day? All right, west will have the first pick. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.400 I will say, I will tell you the order. I 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:43.800 just don't trust you at this point, Wes Mark, Greg Dan, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.600 that is the order. So with the first overall pick, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.159 the first game that we're gonna talk today about, Chris 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:56.560 Westling selects. Sorry, Greg the this this has a lot 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.880 going for it. It's the Romo game. If Romo does 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.600 not qualify for the Safe Way Open this Sunday, in 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:08.200 which case CBS has Boomer a siasin. If he doesn't 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.880 make the cut, he's playing in the tournament. He's supposed 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.360 to be a long shot that he makes the cut. Tony, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.640 can we grow up a little bit here? Boomer? And 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.600 this apparently I was reading in Andrew marshawn article on 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.640 the New York Post, And if this goes well for Boomer, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.880 again a long shot that he gets the chance. But 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.600 there's a chance that Romo could leave CBS after the year. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.080 He's going to be a free agent and ESPN or 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.400 NBC or somebody could break the bank for Romo. He 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:35.920 wants to, you know, I don't know if he wants 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.120 to be the highest paid broadcaster ever, but he's going 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:39.840 to be. As we tape right now, he is even 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.359 through twelve holes in the first round, but that that 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.280 puts him seven shots back already. Let's we like talking 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.640 about this, So before we get into the game, Tony 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:52.520 Romo goes free agent. CBS offers obviously the a f 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.919 C and he's got the best game every week, and 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.560 he's got the best playoff games. He's got the Patriots, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.240 the Chiefs. Where would he go? He's he's blocked at NBC. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.320 There's both Al Michael's and well, actually it's called Guy 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.560 Colin's worth Monday Night Football is not the premium spot 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.880 it once was. It's better games to say. On Sunday, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:15.520 NBC opens up the vault, they bring in Romo and 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.640 they pair him with Mike Tariko for the pregame show 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.600 of Sunday Night Football. That's how I would handle. There's 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.040 also a stream. I mean, that's what they're doing with 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.880 just Letten. You take the pre eminent color analysts and 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.240 pair him with Tariko to get those game picks out 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.320 before the game. That's a lot amos an ex player. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.520 He knows he's got used, got his pick, Liam MQ. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.760 He's gotta you know, Romo has gotta play this negotiation out. 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.920 If he wants to get the most money, He's gonna 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.080 get the most money regardless. Just stay at CBS would 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.960 be my advice to him. You're gonna get paid a 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.040 ton of money and have you know, the best game 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.160 every week and being an institution forty years if you 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.240 want it. I don't know if you wanted this information, 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.280 but I believe John Madden's eight million dollars per year 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.680 contract was the highest ever for I call he'll beat that, 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.920 all right, what you guys, You guys are a little 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.240 crazy with this, like Romo, game is the game I 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.840 want to do first. Most of us, when I say 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.960 most of us people of fall football, have no idea 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.760 what game he's assigned to. So what game are you 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.240 talking about? Well, this has another thing going forward to. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.760 It's also a four o'clock game. So I get to 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.080 check a couple of boxes. It's the Minnesota Vikings at 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.680 the Chicago Bears grass field in the Midwest. That that's 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.000 checking another box. Big piece of steak and watching football. Yeah, 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.200 you know, two yard runs on second and twelve be great. 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.200 I got a text from my bartender friend Paul, who 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.920 you've met Mark, and the text was basically a Mark 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.240 Sessler fever dream. Okay, if Andy Dalton quarterback the Bears, 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:48.720 they'd be the NFC favorites. So he's that down on 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.280 on Mitchell Trobinsky, As are you. I am. I don't 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.520 know if I'd go Andy Dalton, but yeah, I the 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.360 I this. I'm kind of surprised despite Tony Romo, this 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.440 is the game that you're fascinated to see based on 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.880 ne offenses. To me, that feel stuck in a different 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:07.640 era of football. But that explained. It's outdoor football in 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.280 the Midwest in the fall. It doesn't get any better 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.199 than that. I'll take it in a stadium with a 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.000 lot of history and two teams that are probably going 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.160 to the playoffs. In my mind, it's also, you know, 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.280 it's scoring will be at a premium, you would assume, 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.840 but if you like watching defense, it should be fun 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.440 to watch. And it's two coordinators that are probably gonna 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.920 make the opposing quarterbook look quarterback look bad. I think 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.120 we know who Kirk Cousins is, though. These are two 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.440 teams almost trying to hide their quarterback on some level, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.960 and Kirk Cousins is fine. Rabinsky is a tougher guy 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.600 to put your finger on what he's gonna do week 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.320 to week, and I see him as more likely to implode, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.080 especially because the Vikings now have that pass rush duo 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.280 and Everson Griffin and Daniel Hunter again that they had 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.960 a few years ago. Everson Griffin, who was had a 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.840 really down year last year, also missed some time because 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.640 of off off the field issues, um with his mental illness. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.960 He's playing out standing. So now you have those two 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.760 guys against the Bears line that I don't think is 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.240 quite as good as maybe people people think they are, 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.840 and I think that's trouble for Drabinsky. Yeah. I think 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.240 Kyle Long in particular has got off to the worst 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.360 start of his career injuries. Yeah, I think that Mr 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.680 Drobisky is gonna be okay in his building in a 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.840 game like this on the road against the contender. I 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.600 will never feel comfortable I think about Drabinsky at this 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.320 stage right now, but I could see him building on 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.320 Monday night a little bit. And Cousins the quarterbacks are 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.600 fascinating in this game because this is another test for Cousins. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.520 The last time we had a huge division challenge for him, 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.840 he could not have shrunk more against the Packers and 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.720 cost him that game. Uh, Kirk Cousins cost him that game. Um, 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.320 he gets another chance here in a high profile spot 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.120 in a late game in Week four. One thing I 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.920 love about this game in this in this Bears team, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.520 because I would have predicted this to go totally south. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.280 Chuck Pagano taking over Vic Fonio's defense. That felt to 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.080 me like the kind of job you don't want to 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.160 take because someone has totally maximized and done the best 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.080 thing you could have done with Chicago's defense. It's obviously 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.960 gonna be worse. So we talked all offseason all these variables, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.959 the turnovers, the pick six is the funnel. It's not 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.200 gonna happen again. Well it is happening again, and it 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.840 makes me also feel like Vick Fonio also has people 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.880 to look at Vick fon Jo and say, you're getting 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.320 Chuck Paganod here. He's coming in and doing what you 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.439 couldn't do. And now you're in Denver and you have 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.480 a sack. You did it, but you went to Denver 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.720 and you can't even do. But I'm happy for Chuck mcgonnalugh. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.240 I think they'll they'll probably dominate this game. I don't 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.240 think they've been as good this year overall, certainly in 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.840 the Denver game, but they their talent is just overwhelming. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.160 The difference is Cousins also has more support. I mean, 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.880 Trabisky doesn't have digs and theeling on the outside. And 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.840 more importantly, he doesn't have Dalvin Cook, who is making 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.160 that sandwich prop I put up of him, you know, 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.280 beating all the other big name running back. The yard 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.560 from scrimmage look pretty good right now. He is the 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.840 NFL leader in yards from scrimmage. He is the NFL 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.360 leader in yards per carry, in rushing yards, and when 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.920 they bring an out Alexander Madison for seven or eight 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.240 carries a game, look, he looks like a baller too. Sorry. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.040 I think cousins job is ultimately a little easier in 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.240 this game. But there's pressure on the Bears because wasn't 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.240 it Matt Neegy was meant to come in and take 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.480 whoever is in the soup and turn that offense into 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.640 something watchable and totally fun. In the front office went 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.920 crazy to take Trabinsky where they did in the draft, 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.920 ahead of Deshaun Watson, ahead of Patrick Mahomes. And I 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.960 see a team with a lot of pressure building if 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.199 they if they get dropped in their own building. Here 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:32.400 and Robinsky struggles on your Dalvin Cook point, this is 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.560 his team now, that's his offense is even though Kirk 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.680 Cousins through for yards last year and you have those stars, 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.000 Cook is the engine. And it even plays out and 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:46.760 extends to their pregame introductions effective last week, Dalvin Cook 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:51.480 is now the last guy introduced, not like Michael Gordon's. Wow. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.200 Well you hear the way they talk about him. Feeling 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.200 says that every game we were winning because of Dalvin Cook. Well, 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.439 they are they are really ruddy in nineties offense. They 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.079 are under center eight percent of the time. The next 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:10.000 closest team is something around six, and so they're they 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.320 don't they're not in shotgun. The Bears are trying to 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.040 play two thousand nineteen offense. I just don't know if 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.360 they have you know, the quarterbacks for it. Um, all right, 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.920 let's pick this game, by the way, because this is 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:23.320 I'm Vikings. I am too the Vikings. I think the 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.360 Vikings are one of those home road teams, and I 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.480 think they're gonna go undefeated at home, but I think 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.720 they're totally different on the road. I'm picking the Bears. 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.080 I am gonna go against what I normally feel about 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.560 the Bears. I think they're gonna win eighteen to sixteen 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.600 at home. There a defense is going to score eighteen points. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.679 The second overall pick goes to Mark Sessler. Um, I'm 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.920 gonna also take one of these four o'clock games because 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.200 it is a large chunk of time in the afternoon, 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.480 and by the time we get back to me, they'll 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.440 all be gone. But it's not just simply that kind 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.080 of like, well, it's little shaking the first couple of weeks. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.040 Now you're here, you see the one thing that the 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.720 one area that you're completely wrong on is there were 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:03.320 three late game in the first week. I had no assignment. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.360 I roamed the building. I went home for forty five minutes. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.680 You're completely wrong in terms of strategy, and my drafts 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:14.240 have been pristine. Jacksonville at Denver, I'm taking it. I 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.840 had not. Well, you can you can say what you want. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.880 There are two things happening here that I like. Jacksonville 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.240 Denver number two overall pick Well. I'm not a huge 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:29.560 fan of the Tampa Bay Blake Bords or the Bears. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.840 Took Mitchell Trobiski about that, but I'm gonna say that 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.720 I'm excited about Gardner Minshew going continuing what's he what 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.520 he's done with an offense that a lot has changed 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.880 since compared to what we thought would happen here. A 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.720 lot has changed already against the Denver defense just mentioned 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.640 with Vick Fongio, no sacks, they're not doing what everyone 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.200 would have thought capably. That would have been no issue 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:55.280 with Bradley Chubb, with your with the entire defense you 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:56.800 have there, I thought Bradley chub was going to be 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.880 off to a Miles Garrett like defensive player of the 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.040 Year type thing. Nothing is happening there on that defense. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.680 In the offense, I know, Greg, you point out how 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.240 many how manny, how much yardage they're piling up there 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.520 to me and not an exciting offense to watch it all. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.400 But Gardner Minshew and we all, it feels like a 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.560 long time against that Titans team. This Jaguars team lost 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.360 Nick Foles down on the quarterback position. Up goes Gardner Minshew. 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.160 I thought that they were gonna go through a lightened 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.040 up tougher Leonard four Nette. He to me is entirely down, 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.560 outside of one run last week that completely changed a 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.240 box score that would fool you if he went and 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.640 looked at it afterwards. He was an absolute disaster against 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.640 the Titans. DDI Westbrook is hurting the team with drops, 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.960 had a killer drop in the end zone and hurting 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.120 Gardner Minshew, whose line every week would look a lot 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.680 better if he did what he could do. But DJ Shark, 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.240 I think is someone that has already shown a ton 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.760 of chemistry with Minshew. I think they can go in 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.000 and beat the Broncos. I think it's gonna happen. And 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.000 if it does, the Jaguars sitting at two and two 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.200 doing something no one would have thought once Nick Foles 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.160 went down, that would be the more interesting result. I 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.040 feel like this is as tough a game I thought 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.520 there was on the schedule to pick, uh when I 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.960 picked the games on NFL like I took the Broncos though, 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.720 because I just feel like they not that they deserve 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.240 a win, but that they're a little better than the record. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.160 And here's a very lukewarm take. Joe Flacco hasn't been 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.080 terrible as much as you know. He's made a couple 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.320 of big mistakes, but he's not their biggest problem there. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.440 Tackles are the right now the worst tackles situation in 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.200 the league, and so you don't want Joe Flacco back 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.080 there behind it. But there's a reason to me that 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.200 he's ranked ninth right now in QBR and he's fourteenth 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.120 or fifteen in PF. He's just fine. He's not helping 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.160 them in any way. I feel like I'm an ELI 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.680 defender right now. They just have other big problems the team. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.000 He's not helping them in any way. No, he's not. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.880 He's a mid level. He's the starting quarterback between the twenties. Yeah, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.040 they are number one in the NFL and plays per 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.640 drive number three, in time of possession for drive number seven, 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.640 in yards per drive number thirteen, and drive success rate. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.800 They are moving the ball to the red zone and 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.000 then running into a brick. That's what happens when we 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.120 have no big play. They have no big plays. They 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.080 should have more. Courtland Sun is kind of having that 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.439 breakout year. The running game looks awesome last week. I 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.040 do think there are some underlying parts of this team 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.640 that just aren't that bad, especially without Jalen Ramsey, who 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.679 we haven't mentioned is expected to miss the game with 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.600 for the birth of the daughter. They're the stranger. So 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.360 in three team, I can remember all those offensive numbers 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.600 I just said, but they're also number twenty nine and 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.200 average starting field position. Because their defense, which has stars 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.720 on it, is the first defense is since the SACS 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.400 statistic came official to have zero sax and zero turnovers 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.840 in three straights. The defense is the bigger problem is 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.280 It's kind of my point, Well, I see what you're saying, 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.600 and West has the numbers to back it up. But 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:48.439 watching them, Joe Flacco offense. It's hard work. He's not 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.680 going down. He's also played the Bears and the Packers 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.199 and weeks. That's a tough skin. And now he's got 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.320 the Jacks, which isn't much easier. It's hard work. I 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.399 don't I don't expect them to turn turn into a 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.480 totally different offense with a week or defense and the 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.760 Jacks is a tough challenge even without Jalen Ramsey. I 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.479 just don't. I don't think he's the answer, just like 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.159 Eli mcmanning wasn't the answers not New York. But they 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.800 don't have anybody to turn to right now. They just 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.720 feel more like a six and ten team than a 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.040 than a three and and you're gonna get those six 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.800 wins sometimes in home games against teams like the jack 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:18.679 there's a time sometimes when you want to just like 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.200 pretend it's one and look back on the Broncos, so 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.639 look back on the fill in the blank team and 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:26.879 be like, we could spend all week long, you know, 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.320 spinning the numbers and telling you why they're effected between 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.200 the twenties. But it was a botched operation to think 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.360 And maybe I'll be wrong, but the roncept of Joe 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.280 Flacco taking on the Broncos. There, ow and three. I 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.280 think they're gonna finish about five and eleven, six and ten, 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.280 and they're gonna move on very quickly. Yeah, I get Flacco. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.560 To me, isn't the problem though, It's not drafting a 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:50.400 quarterback higher, or it's Drew Lock, or it's their tackles, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.280 like they needed to have a real quarterback to build around. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.600 By the way, Jalen Ramsey, our prayers are answered, it 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.399 looks like he's looks like he's better. It looks like 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.360 the illness us that had gripped him and dropped him 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.800 to his knees has moved on. Now he's got the 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.159 back injury comes in, and the and the hamstrings, his 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:13.480 body shutting down. Well, all that stuff is in the background, 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:17.520 and now he's got a baby coming with you, sister. 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:23.720 Given credit, he covers his bases, his deniability skyrocket and 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.440 from flu to back stiffness to having a baby. It's 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.080 so true because flew obvious bs and nobody took it seriously. 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.560 Doug Brown literally laughed at a press conference when asked 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.400 about it. Back injury overly suspicious because it's the one 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.800 injury a player can say he's dealing with that. They 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:44.120 can't diagnose. It's the diagnosing back injuries is very difficult. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.240 So but it's still it didn't pass the smell test. 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.720 Now baby on the way, Who can say anything about that? 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.640 You're not allowed to What do you mean I didn't 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.000 say anything. He's saying you cannot say anything. You could 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.960 call obvious bs And he's a selfish player to me 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.560 on back injury, um having vomit issues or whatever. He 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.960 was dealing with the baby thing. Now he's he's found away. 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.280 Clear Now how long does he get to stay away? 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.600 There are people in this building for paternity leave that 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.240 disappear for like six weeks and they use every day. 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.480 The NFL will allow. Will Jalen Ramsey go this route? 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.560 I mean, the whole thing is not a good look. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.920 And I don't care what anybody says. You talk about 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.040 guys you want in your locker room, guys you want 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.840 as leaders. Jalen Ramsey's an amazing player. This is not 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.360 This has been an ugly, ugly show. I don't that's 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.199 I know, Greg, you totally disagree with me. I just 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.439 don't think it's a new found and it's different. The 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.119 part that I disagree with is that this is some 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.760 new found phenomenon with players now Mike Dicka begged to be, 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.960 you know, traded from his team. I can name five 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.920 Patriots who have forced their way out with big time 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:57.040
