Cowboys at same time, it's 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: about damn time finally got their deal done with ced 87 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: LAMB four years, one hundred and thirty six million dollar extension, 88 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: one hundred million guaranteed, thirty eight million signing bonus. CD 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: is now the second highest paid wide receiver, just behind 90 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson average per year. 91 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 3: This was the right move for Dallas. 92 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: This is their top receiver without a close second. 93 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: The offense is dack in CD Lamb. 94 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: And I was talking with Jane Slater, Cowboys reporter yesterday, 95 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 2: who told me the vibes were so high at CA 96 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: once the contract got done and CD was back there. 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: She goes, he already had a million dollar smile, but 98 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: this time it was a multi million dollar like je Jennie, 99 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: I love it so much. But he also looked great. 100 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: He came into camp with fifteen pounds of muscle. He 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: was like visibly bulkier. And I had a chance to 102 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: talk with his trainer, doctor Sharif Toba, who had been 103 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: working with CD all the way back in March up 104 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: until the day that his contract was done and he 105 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: came back out to camp, and he said through the 106 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: whole process he was so blown away with CD's infectious, 107 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: positive attitude every single day. And he went in with 108 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: the goal this offseason to really improve explosiveness and lateral 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: agility and yards after catch. And they're gonna need that 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: because CD is this offense this season for the Cowboys. 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would also have a positivebout it 112 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 4: if I knew that I was coming, I was coming 113 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 4: for a pay day because it wasn't a question of if, 114 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 4: it was a question of. 115 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: When and when in time for them. 116 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 4: And the fact that it even took as much work 117 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: from CD, like his hold in all that other stuff, 118 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 4: I just I hate that that's the way the Cowboys operate. 119 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: But we know they've proved it to us time and 120 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 4: time again. They keep doing that and it keeps working 121 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: out for them. So there's really no repercussions for this. 122 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, why would they change what they're doing? 123 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: I CD accounts for a third precisely of Dallas count 124 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 4: of Dallas offense, that's crazy. Thirty percent, that's crazy of 125 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: Dak Prescott's passage. Yeah, go to ceedee Lamb. Yeah, like 126 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 4: a third of the offensive snaps. I actually think it is. 127 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: So it's wild to think how much is riding on 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 4: CD Lamb to And the thing. 129 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: Is, too defenses. Can they do hone in on him? 130 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 4: You can focus on him because there isn't anybody else 131 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 4: to take any sort of attention off of CD on 132 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 4: that offense. 133 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: And it's what I've been talking about all the. 134 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: Time where I'm like, all right, in the regular season, 135 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: a quarterback wide receiver duo can kind of like get 136 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 4: you to some wins, get you through the season. But 137 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: when it comes to the postseason, this is where you 138 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 4: see the drop off because that is no longer enough. 139 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: And that is what I've been talking about where I 140 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: need the Cowboys to have a true number two receiver 141 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: that's going to take attention off of CD. I need 142 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 4: them to have a viable backfield, which we'll see now 143 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 4: they have Dalvin cook and they have as you go out, 144 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 4: but like, these are two running backs past their prime, Like, 145 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 4: is Zeke really the answer, right, No, exactly. 146 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: I don't. 147 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: Like he already faded out once. Now it's like round two, 148 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: let's see, like how productive he's gonna be. I know 149 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: he's Dak's guy and he's Jerry's guys. 150 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: Right, but like the chemistry, the handle, you're gonna need 151 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: him because you don't really have a number two receiver. 152 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 4: I know you have Brandon Cooks there, maybe he can 153 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: return to for him, but he is two years removed 154 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 4: from a thousand yard season like he has been in 155 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: a study decline. I need to know if Ezekiel Elliott 156 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: can still catch passes out of the backfield and be 157 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: that checkdown option for Dak Prescott. Yeah, to kind of 158 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: round out this offense little bit more. And I don't 159 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: know if that's the case. I don't know if CD 160 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: can handle that load at this present moment of where 161 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 4: he's at in his career. I would feel so much 162 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: better if the Cowboys were in the market for a 163 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: true number two, yeah, to help deck out. I like 164 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson as a tight end too, but it's just 165 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: not enough for me once the postseason comes. But that's 166 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 4: the thing is, they'll get to twelve wins before that 167 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 4: and everybody's. 168 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: Like, oh see, like Doc, we did just fine. I 169 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: don't know. 170 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 4: I very much though, appreciate that Ceedee Lamb got paid 171 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: right under Justin Jefferson's contract. 172 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: He is absolutely with it, worth it. 173 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: He's the second best receiver in the league in my opinion, 174 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: right behind Justin Jefferson. They got this kind of pay 175 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: structure right to me, But also like, this is something 176 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: that people have been talking about literally this exact contract 177 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: for months. Yeah, why why why might have to come 178 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 4: down to the eleventh hour like. 179 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: He could have been with the team. 180 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: I mean he mind you, like I said when I 181 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: talked to his trainer, like he was in peak shape 182 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: ready to go, But. 183 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: That doesn't that doesn't always happen. 184 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, But also like you need the gameplay Like there's 185 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: a difference between staying in shape and being in game year. 186 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: There's absolutely a difference between you doing things on your 187 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: own and then being also part of a team, running 188 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 4: routes over and over and over again with the rest 189 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 4: of the team and getting those reps defense in front 190 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 4: of you. And also just I mean him and Dak 191 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 4: are obviously familiar with each other, but there are tweaks 192 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: and changes and everything to the offense, Like you don't 193 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: want to be behind in that. And that's why it 194 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 4: was important that this was a hold in so Ceedie 195 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: was still in the classroom. He was still understanding what 196 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 4: was happening as far as what the what the changes 197 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: to the playbook were, all that kind of stuff. He 198 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: could digest it. But at the same time, there is 199 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: no reason that he needed to lose reps on this. Also, 200 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: now the Cowboys have backed themselves into a corner of 201 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: having to pay CD Dak potentially and Michael Parsons, by 202 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 4: the way, is coming down the pipeline. All at the 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 4: same time, I'm like, why didn't you just get CD 204 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: done last year? 205 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: So then let's talk about Dak because it does not 206 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: look like he's going to get it deal done before 207 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: the start of the season, and when he spoke this week, 208 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: it made you think he's having kind of that final 209 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: realization that this might be his last season with the Cowboys. 210 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 6: I think it says a lot if it is or 211 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 6: if it isn't. But however, doesn't really matter to me 212 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 6: to be on sweet. That's the business and the nature 213 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 6: of this, this game that we play. Yeah, I mean 214 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 6: I stopped honestly listening to things that he says to 215 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 6: the media a long time ago, so doesn't really holdway 216 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 6: with me. 217 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: It's just interesting because he's always been that guy that 218 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: says the right thing. He's so positive, he's so fired up. 219 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: This was a different this was a different sounding Dak, 220 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: And we've talked about this over and over again. This 221 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: whole offseason change. I don't think would be a bad 222 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: thing for Dak. This is his ninth season with the Cowboys. 223 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: He was the runner up in the MVP vote last season. 224 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: He will oh this year, he will get a max deal. 225 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: Wherever he ends up, a team that is desperate for 226 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback will give him whatever he wants. It 227 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: could be a blessing in disguise for him. I think again, 228 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: a lot's going to depend how the season goes with 229 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: Dak and the Cowboys. I mean, you not only have Dak, 230 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: but you have Mike McCarthy. You have your quarterback and 231 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: head coach playing on the last years of their contract 232 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: with no other contract like Insight at this moment. So 233 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: it's a very interesting vibe with this team this season. 234 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 4: I do think that we are reading a little too 235 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 4: much into him dismissing what Jerry says Jerry Jones says 236 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 4: in the media, because I think he he's still having 237 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 4: conversation He's had conversations with Jerry Jones behind closed doors, 238 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: and I think he realizes that what Jerry says to 239 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 4: the media and what he says behind closed closed doors 240 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: are two different things. Yeah, so all he's worried about 241 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 4: is the conversations that he's actually having with Jerry. But 242 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: the overall vibe of this press conference makes me think 243 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 4: that he didn't get good news because I was thinking, Yeah, 244 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 4: after this one of his voice after the CD deal, 245 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, this probably goes a long way with 246 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: Dak knowing he's going to have his number one receiver 247 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 4: locked up and he knows what this kind of is 248 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: going to look like. 249 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 3: But then for him to come out and be a 250 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 3: little bit. 251 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: More candid than we're used to him being and saying 252 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 4: like that's going to say a lot if this deal 253 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: is done or not by the season. I'm not one 254 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: that thinks that any of these that it's so rare 255 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 4: that a major deal like this would ever get done 256 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 4: during the season. So we are quite literally running out 257 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 4: of room for this deal to get done. If it 258 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: doesn't get done five days this weekend, essentially, it has 259 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: to get done this weekend otherwise. Here's the thing about it, though, 260 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 4: I want Dak to go elsewhere because I want the 261 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 4: Cowboys to have to atone for the way that they operate. 262 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: I want them to be held account. 263 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 4: Are petty, petty, petty, petty. 264 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: It is such a petty want, but I am petty. Okay. 265 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: The reason that their the Cowboys operate this way we 266 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 4: just talked about is because there's never any repercussions for 267 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: them doing this. They make their star players, their homegrown talent, 268 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 4: work every single time for their contract, no matter what 269 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 4: position they play, which is absolutely insane. Like, if I'm 270 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 4: a player and I've done everything that's expected of me 271 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 4: and then some, and I'm one of the best at 272 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 4: my position, I want to feel valued. I want you 273 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 4: as my employer to say, we appreciate you. Here's what 274 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 4: you're worth. We think it's top of the market. 275 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 3: Because it is. We're so happy that we're even able 276 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 3: to do this deal for you. That is not what 277 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: the Cowboys do now, and. 278 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: Think about it, I think that goes for like any 279 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 2: person at any job. Everyone anyone just. 280 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 3: Wants to feel valued. 281 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: Everyone and when you feel valued, you're going to give 282 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: that extra one hundred and ten percent in whatever capacity 283 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: you need to for whatever job you're doing. 284 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 4: And there are so few players that have the type 285 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: of leverage that Dak Prescott now has because he has 286 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 4: a no tag clause, he has a no trade clause. 287 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 4: This is entirely up to him. Whatever he does from 288 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: here on out is entirely up to him. The Cowboys 289 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 4: could come to him with a top of the market 290 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 4: money sixty million dollars a year and he could say, 291 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 4: you know what, Nah, I want to hit free agency. 292 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 4: And I don't think that even precludes him from signing 293 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 4: back with the Cowboys. But for all the work that 294 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: they make their players do, I want them to have 295 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 4: to work for Dak Prescott. I want them to be 296 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: in the bidding war in free agency. 297 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: I'm petty. I'm petty, And if Dak signs with. 298 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 4: The Cowboys, there's going to be a little part of 299 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: me that is disappointed that he didn't hold their feet 300 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: to the fire. Go take them to free agency and 301 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 4: make them get involved to show him how much they 302 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: value him. 303 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: That's me. I'm petty. 304 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: Deep breath, deep breath, Okay, real quick here. Moving on 305 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: to the other big deal that was signed this week. 306 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers finally inked a deal with Brandon Ayuk 307 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: four years, one hundred and twenty million dollar extension, seventy 308 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: six million guaranteed, making Ayuk now tied for the fourth 309 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: highest paid wide receiver. Now, I don't think this was 310 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: as big of a deal for the fort nine Ers 311 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: as for the Cowboys, because it's not a make or 312 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 2: break for the fort nine ers. Yes, Ayuk is their 313 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: true number one wide receiver has over thirteen thousand yards. 314 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: Kittle was number two with like ten twenty debo head 315 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: eight ninety two. But they still they have so much talent. 316 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: Yes that I think they would have been okay, but 317 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: huge congratulations because again, like we were talking about, what 318 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: makes an offense so dynamic is when you have so 319 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: many different offensive weapons and options that you can throw 320 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: off the defense, you don't know where they're going, and 321 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: that's that's how you're better. 322 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: But I think. 323 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: The issue the forty nine ers have is that they 324 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: still haven't figured out Trent Williams' contract. 325 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: Yes he is. 326 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: If you don't figure out Trent Williams your left tackle, 327 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: he is brock Perty's protection. 328 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: I think you have to take the forty nine ers 329 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 3: out of the super Bowl conversation. 330 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: I absolutely if you don't figure out, well you do 331 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: Trent Williams by the start of the season and he 332 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: says like he's not going to report until his contract 333 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: is adjusted, you have to take them out of the 334 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: super Bowl conversation. 335 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 4: First of all, Trent Williams is not the one like 336 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 4: you do not play with Trent Williams. He's at out 337 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 4: the twenty nineteen season because Washington wouldn't give him his money. Yeah, 338 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: and then he ended up signing with the forty nine Ers. 339 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 4: After that, he will out a year and he doesn't 340 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 4: care that he's thirty six years. 341 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: Old, proguably the best lineman in the league and wants 342 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: to be paid as such. 343 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 4: She is the best left tackle league. I get that 344 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 4: he's thirty six, but also he has not dropped in production. 345 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 4: He is still performing at a high level. He is 346 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 4: crucial to this offense. He is crucial to Rock Party, 347 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 4: who only took twenty eight sacks by the way last 348 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 4: year because of his protection around him. That was the 349 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 4: ninth fewest in the league. So this Trent Williams is 350 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 4: the most important part to the forty nine ers offense. 351 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 4: For all the star power that is on the Niners offense, 352 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 4: for the play caller that they have in Kyle Shanahan, 353 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: the most important part of the forty nine Ers offense 354 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 4: is left tackle Trent Williams. And you need to get 355 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 4: this deal done with him because he will absolutely take 356 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 4: this you talk about petty. Trent Williams will take this 357 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 4: through the season and will not report and will not 358 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 4: come play for your football team. 359 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: Until he gets the money that he deserves, deserves should 360 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 3: not have to work for. 361 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: I don't care if you do anticipate a little bit 362 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 4: of a drop in production when you're talking about Okay, 363 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: maybe he drops to like a top five tackle at. 364 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 3: The end of the day. Of those five, those guys 365 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 3: don't grow on trees. 366 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 2: Also, like, it's not a big sample, but Trent Williams 367 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: impact on brock party With Trent and without, He's nineteen 368 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: and three. With Trent, he's one and two without. His 369 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 2: passer rating is one fourteen with Trent eighty seven point 370 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 2: nine without. 371 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 3: Like the Niners, this is a big deal, the big 372 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: deal for Purt Niners. 373 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: We saw what the Niners looked like without Trent Williams 374 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 4: and actually without Deebo Samuel last year. 375 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they went on a skit like not good. 376 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 4: This is absolutely crucial and it has gotten overshadowed because 377 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 4: brand AYUK has been louder. But Trent Williams is not 378 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: the one to play with because I don't think there 379 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 4: was ever really a chance that brand AYK was going 380 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 4: to sit out the season. 381 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: There is absolutely. 382 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 4: Williams will Trent Williams has been a hold out and 383 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 4: will continue to hold it. 384 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: They gotta figure this out. We're gonna take a quick 385 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 2: break here, but when we come back. Was missing the Olympics. 386 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: The best thing for Caitlin Clark.

Obviously, the Wall Star 433 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: team beating Team USA, glimpse into the future.

Yeah, 445 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: one player can make such a huge difference. Because let's 446 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: not forget the Indiana fever Worthy worst team in the 447 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 4: league last year by a large margin. 448 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 3: They were not two years in a row.

But in all of this, though, I mean, 459 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 4: Angel Reese is playing her part. 460 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, she. 461 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 4: Had ten points, eleven rebounds.

This is before the 593 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 10: fifty three roster cuts were made, so everybody was really 594 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 10: like amped up and hungry. It's a lot of younger guys. 595 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 10: They do have some vets on the team, but I 596 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 10: think like what I saw the interest to me was 597 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 10: the quarterbacks. Right, you had Zach Wilson and you had 598 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 10: Bo Nicks yet steady, and you know, Zach has been 599 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 10: just such a voice of like positivity and gratefulness, and 600 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 10: he had even said after Bo was named the starter, 601 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 10: he was like, are you really surprised. 602 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 3: Yes, we love self aware. 603 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Like have you seen this guy at play? 604 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 10: And I think just seeing both, he's very poised, he's 605 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 10: very mature for being a rookie. And I think that 606 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 10: really comes from just like his sixty one starts in 607 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 10: college football, which is really unseen from a quarterback position. 608 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 12: Right. 609 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 10: People are really just trying to get to the NFL, 610 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 10: and because of COVID, he was kind of forced little 611 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 10: to stay and stay in college, and I think that's 612 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 10: really kind of helped them transition, especially coming onto this 613 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 10: team that's looking to make the playoff push after missing 614 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 10: it for what the last eight seasons. 615 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 3: Yes, it's been a while. 616 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 4: I want to know what you've kind of observed between 617 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 4: Bonicks and Sean Payton, because Sean Payton was the driving 618 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 4: force behind letting Russell Wilson go and therefore costing the 619 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: franchise fifty three million dollars in dead cap to pay 620 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: Russell Wilson. 621 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 3: To not play there. 622 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 4: But then on top of that, he goes and takes BONICKX, 623 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,719 Speaker 4: who many thought were a Day two was a Day 624 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 4: two pick with the twelfth overall pick. He has his 625 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 4: fingerprints all over this. What have you seen between the 626 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 4: two of them, How is their vibe? How do they 627 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 4: work together? It just it seems like Sean Payton is 628 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 4: there to just mold Bonicks into the next Drew Brees O. 629 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, well that's the. 630 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 9: Hope, right, Yeah, exactly. 631 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 10: But you know, I again, like I just got there. 632 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 10: I was only there for about four days watching practice 633 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 10: before I came back home, and then now I'm going 634 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 10: to head back out there. So I don't have a 635 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 10: really big pool to really like super common on that. 636 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 10: But I will say like Sean Payne has had nothing 637 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 10: but positive needs to stay about Bonick, especially like saying 638 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 10: like his leadership that he's had on the team. He's 639 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 10: spoken about, you know, to the media about just like 640 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 10: his maturity and the fact that he's almost surprised like wow, 641 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 10: like you're a rookie, like you move with such poise. 642 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 10: Patritaine also said the same. By him, a lot of 643 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 10: the guys have been on this team are just like 644 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 10: he's one of those guys that he walks into the 645 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 10: room and you instantly want to look at him, you 646 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 10: to want to see what he has to say, and 647 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 10: just in practice, like he just seems really impressed with 648 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 10: him It was funny when when he announced that Bo 649 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 10: was the starter. He you know, he spoke to the 650 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 10: media and he said like, yeah, like it was before practice. 651 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 10: I went up to them, I said, hey, Bo's a starter. 652 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 10: He's like I wanted to tell them before it came 653 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 10: out in the in the media. He even acknowledged to 654 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 10: the media like, I know, you guys been patient waiting 655 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 10: to see what the starter was. He was like, but 656 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 10: there was no cake and flowers. You know, it was 657 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 10: just like we told them. Everyone like Zach and said 658 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 10: he looked at him, they kind of give the head nod. 659 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 10: Both said thank you, and then it was just time 660 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 10: for practice. So it's very business as usual what I'm seeing. 661 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 10: And I mean, obviously Champagne is very decorated in this league, 662 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 10: and I think that that that mentality and that culture 663 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 10: is definitely starting to make its way into Denver. 664 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 3: Love it.

He is worth 675 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 10: every single petty. Yeah, He's literally in a league of 676 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 10: his own. Like there's no player before that has put 677 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 10: up these numbers in the season, and I think what 678 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 10: the Dodgers have. It always blows my mind that he 679 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 10: even became a Dodger, right, Like, he's such a generational talent. 680 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 10: He's said something where it's just like how did the 681 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 10: Dodgers get him? You know, And so it's a big 682 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 10: shout out to that front office and the way they've 683 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 10: been able to kind of to make those deals happen. 684 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 10: And he's just been such a force. He's such you know, 685 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 10: when the team is in like they're kind of struggling, 686 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 10: he comes in with a big swing the other day 687 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 10: after his bubblehead night, everyone that everyone got to hit 688 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 10: literally except for him right before he was on fire. 689 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 10: So he is such a force in its own and 690 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 10: I think what he's been able to bring to this 691 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 10: team is really gonna be showing the playoffs. Now, it's 692 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 10: crazy to think that show hail Tani has not had 693 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 10: any playoff experience played whose season ex. 694 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 3: Right, I love, I love, but it's unfair to him 695 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: and Trout for there on that team. 696 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 10: It's insane. It's insane that this will be his first 697 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 10: taste of the postseason, and I really feel like it's 698 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 10: going to unlock a new layer of his game and 699 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 10: his intensity because he is clearly showing his books for 700 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 10: these moments. He's he's so playful, he made history. He 701 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 10: was kind of just like choking around, like wow, It's like, 702 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 10: do you realize what you're doing, what you're showing to 703 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 10: the squad? And so I think I think with the 704 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 10: postseason he could be that X factor that kind of 705 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 10: comes up, especially because we've had postseasons where the bats 706 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 10: really go cold. But I mean, for me, the biggest 707 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 10: thing that worries me is just the pitching rotation. Is 708 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 10: really was something that the Dodgers are trying to fix. 709 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 10: A lot of injuries have kind of happened. We've always 710 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 10: been plagued with that. Doudges have always been kind of 711 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 10: been plagued with that the last few years. That rotation, I. 712 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 3: Mean, Yamamoto made his first rehab start this week after 713 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 3: two months on the IL. 714 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 2: Do you expect him to be back at full strength 715 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: in time for the postseason run, because I mean we 716 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 2: have now like all of their top guys have had 717 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: some sort of stint on the IL season. 718 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, no, I mean mager Dave Roberts said the Alomoto 719 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 10: will throw a bullpen session on September first, and then 720 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 10: make another rehab start for Okac around September third. The 721 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 10: goal is for him to complete around three innings and 722 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 10: if he can get through a couple more outings like that, 723 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 10: you know, they've always sad the Dodgers do feel comfortable 724 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 10: enough with inserting him back into the starting rotation. Yeah, 725 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 10: but it really depends on that. Obviously, he's making a 726 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 10: significant step in the right direction and he's definitely needed. 727 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 728 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 10: But you know, it was one of those things that 729 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 10: happened so early in the season that you're like, okay, like, 730 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 10: how do we get you back where we don't rush you. 731 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 10: You know, we're chugging along, We're we're making it as 732 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 10: much after yesterday when Kershaw came out in the first 733 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 10: time and really kind of showed that Yesterday was such 734 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 10: a weird game, But I think that's the hope. You know, 735 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 10: they hope to get on full strength. But I think 736 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 10: they're going to be very cautious with him then, and 737 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 10: they sign them to a very long to you and 738 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 10: I think it's like, let's not bring you out before 739 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 10: we need to. But I think they're chugging along with 740 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 10: his recovery. 741 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: I mean, Dodger's first team to hit eighty wins. Should 742 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: they be World Series favorites? 743 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 9: Of course? 744 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 5: Yeah? 745 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 3: I mean I picked at the beginning of the year, 746 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 3: right or diving? Yeah, I think we both like the Dodgers. 747 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 4: Yankees like World serious, how much MLBA would just combust? 748 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 2: I've been calling it since before the season started. I've 749 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 2: gotten a lot of hate. I've gotten a lot of hate. 750 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 2: To get the cop out, I was. 751 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 4: Like, we're getting into the stretch here, and it looks 752 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,719 Speaker 4: real likely the two best players in the league right 753 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 4: now are on these two teams. 754 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 3: Carrying these teams. 755 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 10: Nothing is Where's where's the lie? 756 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: Where's the. 757 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 10: I think the favorite of the Yankees and the Dodgers, 758 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 10: that's the World Series everyone wants. And obviously they had 759 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 10: that series in New York, which which was a lot 760 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 10: of fun to kind of see. So, I mean, it's 761 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 10: just I think the biggest thing for me with when 762 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 10: it comes to the postseason, it comes to World Series runs, 763 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 10: is if the Dodgers win their division, how that week 764 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 10: is that bileague? Basically it's going. 765 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 9: To affect them, right. 766 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 10: It really affected all top teams last season, you know, 767 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 10: so the Orioles, the Braves, I think the footage were 768 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 10: the only ones that really got through it. But it's 769 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 10: you know, baseball players are not meant to have so 770 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 10: many days off we're used to, like honestly. 771 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 4: It's it's been a little bit harder for the Dodgers 772 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 4: down the stretch now, like they've had to like work 773 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 4: to stay at the top of the standards and stuff 774 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 4: like that. And that's what I'm saying is I think 775 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 4: it's really actually a good thing because then they're going 776 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 4: to be warmed up and ready and getting healthy at 777 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 4: the right. 778 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 2: Time, be fighting and fighting into the postseason, which is 779 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 2: what I think they were missing at Leasta your gem. 780 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for joining us. 781 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 4: We're so pumped for so proud of you.

You 1010 00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:28,439 Speaker 4: know how mini camp works. 1011 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm going bust. I am not betting on 1012 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 2: the Jets this season. Now, we had Deshaun Jackson on 1013 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 2: the herd last week, and now I personally had heard 1014 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 2: rumors from reporters and friends that have been in and 1015 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 2: around the team about the relationship between Aaron Rodgers and 1016 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 2: Robert Sala, but DeShawn Jackson he confirmed that Rogers and 1017 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 2: Sala are not on the same page and there are 1018 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 2: some major issues. 1019 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, so if that's going down, no, thank you, I'm out. 1020 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 4: It's interesting because Sala is more obviously the defensive side 1021 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 4: of the ball. That's kind of his bread and butter. 1022 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 4: That's where he It's going to depend, I think on 1023 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 4: how much Sala tries to exert his authority over the 1024 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 4: offensive side of the ball and therefore Aaron Rodgers, because 1025 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 4: at this point Aaron Rodgers still has his guy in 1026 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 4: Nathaniel Hackett at offensive coordinator. 1027 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,439 Speaker 3: He's got Alanizard is still on this roster. 1028 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 4: There's friends that still could be on their way to 1029 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 4: the Jets, if David Bactieri's cryptic tweets are to be believed. Yeah, 1030 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,919 Speaker 4: Rogers wants full control over the offense. He also even 1031 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 4: when it comes like when he was in Green Bay 1032 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 4: and all this other stuff, he changes. Matt Lafleur copped 1033 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,879 Speaker 4: to Aaron Rodgers changing like thirty percent of the place, 1034 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 4: which means it's double that. If you're copping to thirty percent, 1035 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 4: you need to double that. And it's more basically like. 1036 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 3: He came in and they like handed the offense to them. 1037 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 2: That's what you're doing if you're bringing in an MVP 1038 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 2: player like Aaron Rodgers going to adjust to you, You're 1039 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 2: going to adjust to him. 1040 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,240 Speaker 4: So I am going bust on this all though, because 1041 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 4: I do think that there's too many egos in play here. 1042 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,759 Speaker 4: There's also it's it's a house of cards here in. 1043 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 3: New Jersey's like someone's leaking stories inside the building. Theories 1044 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 3: only come out when they want to become Rogers didn't 1045 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 3: play in the preseason. I know he was there for Camp. 1046 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 4: I like, from a football standpoint, him missing Mini camp 1047 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 4: doesn't make a difference. But from a leadership standpoint and 1048 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,959 Speaker 4: from you wanting him to be bought into a team. 1049 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 4: You can have all the talent in the world, but 1050 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 4: if you don't act as one cohesive unit and you 1051 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 4: don't have one singular belief that you can do it, 1052 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 4: it's not going to work. There's all these intangibles that 1053 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:41,240 Speaker 4: just seem. 1054 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 3: The vibes are bad. 1055 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 4: But also with how much Rogers changes things and how 1056 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 4: many He's very particular with how he wants the routes run, 1057 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 4: with how he wants these options thrown. Like he is 1058 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 4: so particular with all of this, and these guys that 1059 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 4: are around him don't have enough of of reps with 1060 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 4: Rogers and how he operates because it it turned four 1061 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 4: snaps into the season last year. This is just I 1062 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 4: couldn't believe that, Like, he wasn't doing everything possible to 1063 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 4: gel with these guys. You saw him get into it 1064 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 4: with Garrett Wilson, who is his number one receiver. I 1065 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 4: just the Jets have invested so much in this, and 1066 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,240 Speaker 4: even Rogers said it, it's all riding on his shoulders, 1067 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 4: and it's all riding on the Jets not only winning, 1068 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 4: in my opinion, winning a playoff game, but to make 1069 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 4: all of this worth it, they need to make a 1070 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 4: playoff run. 1071 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 3: They need to get to the super Bowl because their 1072 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 3: window is not How long is there a playoff drought? 1073 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 3: Is it since twenty ten? One of the longest? It 1074 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 3: is the longest. Yeah, it's the longest. So that's what 1075 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 3: I thought. I was like, I know it's up there. 1076 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 4: It's either twenty ten or twenty twelve, but it's the 1077 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 4: longest playoffs drout in the NFL. 1078 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: We are both busts. 1079 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 4: But yeah, I just I don't see this. I just 1080 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 4: don't see it going. 1081 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 3: Well, especially at the head coach and the quarterback are 1082 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 3: not on the same tame. 1083 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 4: Real quick That was the other thing too, where I 1084 00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 4: was like solid did not have to say that rogers 1085 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 4: absence was unexcused in mini camp. No he did not. 1086 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 3: He could cover for him. He chose violence. He shows 1087 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,800 Speaker 3: violence in that market. In that market. 1088 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he knew it is. 1089 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 3: I mean, listen talking about those aren't fighting words last hour. 1090 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 4: I love a petty king like I was talking about 1091 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 4: last hour, but like he can't have two petty kings. 1092 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,720 Speaker 3: Nope, going at each other your two years? 1093 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 9: Uh huh. 1094 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on to our next team. Carmen the Bears, 1095 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 2: the Bears, the Bears. Now, besides Aaron Rodgers, I try to. 1096 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 3: Do it like Cam Williams. I can't. 1097 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 4: I can't even get that high. 1098 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 3: How did he do it? 1099 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 4: He goes the ber he like sings it, but he 1100 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 4: says it like in a higher voice, like it's really cute. 1101 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 3: I can't do it. 1102 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 2: Okay, So besides Aaron Rodgers, I think Caleb Williams has 1103 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 2: the second most pressure coming into this season with the 1104 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 2: high expectations. 1105 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 3: He's going to have every eyeball on him. 1106 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 10: Now. 1107 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 2: I do believe he will be the best quarterback the 1108 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 2: Bears have ever had, not saying a lot. The bars 1109 00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,440 Speaker 2: pretty low. They've never had a quarterback through over four 1110 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 2: thousand years. 1111 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 3: I wanted to throw thirty touchdowns either. 1112 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:02,919 Speaker 9: Yep. 1113 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 2: The good news for Caleb they don't play division opponent 1114 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 2: until Week eleven, so there are some lighter games for 1115 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 2: him to ease his way into the NFL before they 1116 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 2: hit the NFC North. I'm betting on the Bears. I'm 1117 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 2: betting on the Bears and Caleb Williams. 1118 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 4: We are, We're aligned. I am cautiously optimistic. You guys 1119 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 4: have to understand. I grew up in Chicago. 1120 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 3: Let down. I've been let down. I have scars. 1121 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 4: I have a lot of wounds and battle scars from 1122 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,959 Speaker 4: supporting this team my entire life. 1123 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 3: You traumatized. 1124 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 4: I'm absolutely traumatized. I mean I remember crying when the 1125 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 4: Bears got Jay Cutler, thinking that this was it. 1126 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1127 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,879 Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, oh my god, They're 1128 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 4: gonna have offense, and like they did, they had offensive pieces. 1129 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the teas it was a total tease. 1130 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 4: Yeah it didn't. I mean, they made it to the 1131 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 4: NFC Championship against the Green Bay Packers and then lost 1132 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 4: famously after Jay Cutler blew out his knee in the 1133 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 4: first half, I mean just right there. And then you know, 1134 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 4: there was the two thousand and six Super Bowl, even 1135 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 4: if you're going back before that two thousand and sixth season, 1136 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 4: and Devin Hester returns the opening kickoff and I'm like, oh. 1137 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 3: My god, the Bears are gonna win. 1138 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, Mark Rex Grossman's quarterback, who was I 1139 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 4: was delusional at that point. 1140 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 3: This is now my time? 1141 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 1: Is your guy? 1142 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 4: Ryan Poles, when he was hired general manager, said he 1143 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 4: was brought to Chicago to break cycles. 1144 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1145 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 4: So far he has done that by creating, over a 1146 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 4: period of time three years now, three off seasons, a 1147 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 4: roster that was ready to have youth and a really 1148 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 4: dynamic quarterback prospect in it because there was development in 1149 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 4: the coaching staff that was that was available. There's all 1150 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 4: this talent around him. The defense should be able to 1151 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 4: be relied upon as a top five unit this year. 1152 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,840 Speaker 4: It's like a per perfect storm of a situation that 1153 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 4: Ryan Poles has built. There's a little bit of luck 1154 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 4: involved with them getting the first overall pick from Carolina 1155 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,800 Speaker 4: and then the best quarterback prospect we have seen in 1156 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 4: years come out to be the number one overall pick 1157 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 4: in the year that you have the number one overall pick. 1158 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 4: So it seems like there is a perfect storm brewing 1159 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 4: in Chicago. I am so hesitant to even say this 1160 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 4: because he has not played a snap, but okay, Caleb 1161 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:35,439 Speaker 4: Williams h should be yeah, the best quarterback in Bears 1162 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 4: history within the next two years. I'm not gonna say 1163 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,760 Speaker 4: right now, but like you were talking about. 1164 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 3: I said, I believe he's going to be the best 1165 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:43,359 Speaker 3: quarterback the Bears. 1166 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 1: I've ever had to do that. 1167 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 4: Even he could feasibly do that this year with the 1168 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 4: season Jordan Love had in Green Bay. Oh yeah, like 1169 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 4: four thousand yards, thirty touchdowns. It's a pretty run of 1170 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 4: the mill stat line for an NFL quarterback, and that 1171 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 4: would be their best friend. He should blow past the 1172 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 4: rookie records by Halloween. But to that, to your point 1173 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,760 Speaker 4: from earlier, leading up to that week eleven game against 1174 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 4: the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field, which is when 1175 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 4: the Bears open up Division play, yep. Before that, you 1176 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 4: have the Patriots. Before that, you have the Cardinals. Before that, 1177 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,080 Speaker 4: you have the Commanders. Before that, you have your bye week. 1178 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 4: Before that, you have the Jaguars in London. Before that, 1179 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 4: you have the Panthers, that whole stretch, that's a pretty. 1180 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 3: Like should allow you to gel. Nothing's going to be easy, 1181 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 3: but an easier stretch, it should be a really good 1182 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,800 Speaker 3: kind of like, let's get our footing. 1183 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 4: And because I mean the first couple weeks of this season, 1184 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 4: I don't think the Titans are going to be an 1185 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 4: easy out to open the season. But then you get 1186 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 4: the Texans week two in Houston, and then you also 1187 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 4: have to play the Rams two weeks later. 1188 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 3: But that's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. 1189 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 4: But if you can then win a majority of those 1190 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,839 Speaker 4: next few games leading up to Week eleven, and then 1191 00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 4: Alex the meat of the sandwich. 1192 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 3: If you can take the meat of the sandwich. Oh, 1193 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 3: if you can beat the Packers at home for the first. 1194 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 4: Time, and how long they have lost twelve of the 1195 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 4: last thirteen at Soldier Field to the Packers. 1196 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,879 Speaker 3: If they can beat if you could see the Green 1197 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 3: Bay you guys could just see Carbon's face right now. 1198 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 3: She's talking about this, the pitch talks about it ad 1199 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 3: nauseam all. 1200 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 4: If they can beat the Green Bay Packers Week eleven, 1201 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 4: Caleb's first start against their division rivals, which hasn't been 1202 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:26,879 Speaker 4: much of a rival re lately. 1203 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 3: Yep, Chicago is just gonna go. 1204 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: Riot they Yes, I have, Like we won. 1205 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 4: I saw this one speak a couple of weeks ago. 1206 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,240 Speaker 4: They could not win another game after that, and Bears 1207 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 4: fans would be like, no, this is this is gonna work. 1208 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 3: This is gonna work. But don't change a thing. We're 1209 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 3: gonna keep going. It'll be fine, like we're we're in. 1210 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 1: We're in. 1211 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,760 Speaker 3: But like I mean, it's a little bit of hyperbole. 1212 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:53,879 Speaker 4: But at the same time, like if they can win 1213 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,640 Speaker 4: that game, in particular, I I'm going to be in 1214 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 4: Chicago for that game anyway, I will stay probably longer 1215 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 4: than I was supposed to, just because I want to enjoy. 1216 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to be at a bar right after the. 1217 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,839 Speaker 2: Game, is what I'm gonna do again if they win. 1218 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 2: If they win, if they win, if not, crying at 1219 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 2: your computer. Okay, let's move to our next better bust. 1220 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 2: We've been aligned on these which, guys, we didn't talk 1221 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 2: about this beforehand. 1222 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 1: No, he didn't the Bills. 1223 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,399 Speaker 2: Now this week ESPN released a player poll and Josh 1224 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 2: Allen was voted most overrated quarterback by his peers. So 1225 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,959 Speaker 2: now there have been extremely high expectations for Josh since 1226 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:33,480 Speaker 2: he got in the league. He has the talent, he 1227 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,439 Speaker 2: has the arm, but the bar has been super Bowl 1228 00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 2: and he keeps running into Mahomes in the postseason and 1229 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 2: Alan has zero to three against Mahomes in the postseason. 1230 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 2: And last year it felt like it was supposed to 1231 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 2: be his year, mahomes first road playoff game, and the 1232 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 2: Bills still lost. I I'm honestly on the fence. Oh 1233 00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,200 Speaker 2: I've got this one, but I'm leaning more towards the 1234 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 2: bus side. 1235 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 3: I think the question is, can Josh. 1236 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,879 Speaker 2: Allen carry this team once again after losing their top 1237 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 2: two weapons and Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis. 1238 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,880 Speaker 3: I I don't know. 1239 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's the thing is, I don't know 1240 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 4: Josh Allen is going to have the opportunity he's gonna 1241 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 4: have to carry to shut these people up, to shut 1242 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,320 Speaker 4: the rest of the league up, apparently if player wise, 1243 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 4: because if he can elevate this receiver room, which I 1244 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,760 Speaker 4: think he can, and Keon Coleman is just impossibly likable. 1245 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 3: I absolutely adore him. 1246 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if he can be what they need him 1247 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 4: to be in a number one wide receiver, and then 1248 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 4: you can also lean on James Cook in the backfield. 1249 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 4: We're not talking enough about this guy who had over 1250 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 4: eleven hundred yards last year had four hundred and something 1251 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,839 Speaker 4: receiving yards as well. He's a dual threat running back 1252 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 4: out of the backfield. He can be a safety net 1253 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 4: for Josh Allen yep, and be extremely productive on top 1254 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:49,759 Speaker 4: of that. 1255 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,760 Speaker 3: I think that this is going I think the Bills. 1256 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,760 Speaker 4: Are going to be fine. I honestly think that Matt Milano. 1257 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,400 Speaker 4: If you're betting on the Bills, I am betting on 1258 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 4: the Bills. Okay, the Matt Milano injury to me was 1259 00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 4: the most worrisome, even more so than losing stuff and 1260 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 4: losing Gabe Davis. I don't understand how in the world 1261 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,879 Speaker 4: Josh Allen could be voted as one of the most 1262 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,280 Speaker 4: overrated players. I'm like, this time, you're coming from offensive players, 1263 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 4: because defensive players when you are going against the Bills, 1264 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 4: the tape that you have to study and the way 1265 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 4: that Josh Allen can get himself out of things, and 1266 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 4: the physicality with which Josh Allen plays the quarterback position. Yeah, 1267 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 4: I don't like every defense is scared of him. Every 1268 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 4: defense is scared of. 1269 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 3: Him, so I'm like this. 1270 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 2: He was also voted trash talker. Oh yeah, which I 1271 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 2: think maybe plays into the most okay rates, Like have you. 1272 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 4: Seen the trash he does talk? Because the Bills have 1273 00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 4: put it out there before. Oh I would they like 1274 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 4: there's like miked up moments with Josh Allen and like 1275 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 4: some of them. I mean obviously they added out like 1276 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 4: all of the really really profane one, but they're. 1277 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: Like they're hysterical. Yeah, he's hysterical. 1278 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 3: I love it. I'm still in on the Bills. I 1279 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 3: really am. 1280 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I really am, and I'm in on Josh Allen. Okay, 1281 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 2: so real quick, we're gonna do one more. But Chargers 1282 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,479 Speaker 2: has changed for them this season obviously, New head coach 1283 00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh said that, like the culture has changed for 1284 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 2: the better, but can that reflect on the field for wins. 1285 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 2: I could be delusional, but I am betting on the Chargers. 1286 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 2: I'm a believer in Jim Harbaugh, his culture, how he 1287 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 2: turns teams around. Herbert also has the talent but hasn't 1288 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 2: had the right coach. He's heading into his fifth season 1289 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 2: with his fourth head coach. The look on your face, Okay, 1290 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 2: what are you better bust? 1291 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 3: I'm I'm busting right now. Okay, I'm betting right now. Okay, 1292 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 3: so we good. We did not agree on the last two. 1293 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,400 Speaker 2: We will reconvene on these better bus halfway through the season. 1294 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break here, but when 1295 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,200 Speaker 2: we come back, should show how you Tani win his 1296 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,920 Speaker 2: third MVP.

Having an 1308 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,920 Speaker 2: MVP caliber season made history last night, the first player 1309 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 2: ever with forty three home runs and forty three stolen 1310 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 2: bases in the same season. Now the last player because 1311 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 2: he reached that forty two to forty two club earlier 1312 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,080 Speaker 2: this week on his bibblehead night. The last player to 1313 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 2: do that was a rod in ninety eight, twenty six 1314 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 2: years ago. So I mean, what he is doing for 1315 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 2: the game of baseball. Obviously he it's hard to put 1316 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 2: into words what he did when he came into the 1317 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 2: league as a two way player. But with him just 1318 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 2: focusing on offense this year, we're seeing how incredible his 1319 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 2: talent can be when honed in on just one aspect 1320 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 2: of his game. And everybody knows it too, you guys. 1321 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 2: We talked about it earlier his bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium. 1322 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 3: This was this week. 1323 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 2: Fans were lining up at eleven am for a seven 1324 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 2: pm game. Lines went around the stadium and I googled 1325 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 2: what those gold bobbleheads are going for right now? From 1326 01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 2: ten thoy to eighteen thousand dollars. 1327 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 3: Holy mo. 1328 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane.

Everybody was doing it like I guess 1359 01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 4: it was the reason that performance enhancing drugs our outlawed 1360 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 4: is because it gives you a leg up and whatever. 1361 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 3: And if you're willing to risk that and do that. 1362 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 4: Then usually you're like only one of the only people 1363 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 4: doing it. Well, everybody in baseball was doing it at 1364 01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 4: the time. I free it was a level like if 1365 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,160 Speaker 4: you weren't cheating, you weren't trying. 1366 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 2: I mean, they had bowls of greenies just sitting in 1367 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,520 Speaker 2: the clubhouse like that was a thing. And we still 1368 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 2: use his stats like Bonds is the all time leader 1369 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 2: in home runs with seven sixty two so single season 1370 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 2: home runs with seventy three, and the season that Otani 1371 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 2: is having right now that everyone's freaking out about that 1372 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 2: he might get a third MVP with is only the 1373 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 2: eleventh best offensive season that Barry Bonds had. 1374 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 3: Let that settle in for a moment, and it is 1375 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 3: leading the league. 1376 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 4: Make no mistake, like shows forty three home runs.

I think it's very 1380 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 4: interesting that the top two of the top three in 1381 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 4: MVP odds in the National League inward agous. 1382 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 2: So Otani is him put bonds in the Hall of Fame.

The most anticipated season in decades for Chicago. 1458 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 2: All eyes are going to be on Caleb Williams. So 1459 01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 2: what for you as a diehard Chicago Bears fan, what 1460 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 2: would be considered a successful seas in for the Bears 1461 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:02,280 Speaker 2: and Caleb's rookie year. 1462 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 9: Winning the Super Bowl? 1463 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:07,680 Speaker 3: What I'm talking about. 1464 01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,080 Speaker 9: This is why. Yeah, let's go listen. If I was 1465 01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 9: if I was booking the NFL, and I don't get 1466 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 9: control of that, I'm not on the booking committee, my pitch, 1467 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 9: my pitch would have been listened Caleb Williams. The one 1468 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,080 Speaker 9: way to end all these years of frustration would be 1469 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 9: for the Bears to become the first team in NFL 1470 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 9: history to win a Super Bowl with the rookie quarterback 1471 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,880 Speaker 9: beating the Jets in the Super Bowl. Why the Jets 1472 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,200 Speaker 9: their quarterback by Aaron Rodgers just closed the book on 1473 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 9: all of it. I don't say it's not happening. I 1474 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 9: think you have a good team. The Jets could possibly 1475 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 9: make it to the Super Bowl. But I think one 1476 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 9: of the most realistic expectations for me for the Bears 1477 01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,160 Speaker 9: is last year. I think a lot of people forget 1478 01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 9: like it's so funny, like some I was just reading 1479 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 9: Twitter for some reason. I don't even think this is 1480 01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 9: a roster that competed NFL team and you're like, yeah, bro, 1481 01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 9: they beat seven of them last year, like they they're good. Yeah, 1482 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,520 Speaker 9: what you would like to see. And this is what 1483 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 9: what escaped them last year. And this is what Carmen 1484 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 9: tried to tell me week after week, and I'm like, no, 1485 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 9: you're wrong. 1486 01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:18,800 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1487 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 9: They lost three games where they had over a ninety 1488 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 9: percent chance of winning in the fourth quarter because they 1489 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 9: couldn't close. And I think that if the Bears can 1490 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 9: go out there and close the games that they're supposed 1491 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 9: to win, that would be huge. And then if they 1492 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,479 Speaker 9: do that, I think they have a good enough shot 1493 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,720 Speaker 9: to make the playoffs. Now it depends on how good 1494 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 9: the rest of the teams are in the NFC. 1495 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 3: But I do it's going to be pretty good. 1496 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 2: Lions, Packers, Vikings, you can always count on to figure 1497 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:49,519 Speaker 2: it out. 1498 01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 9: Can we wait? Hold on? Why? Why does everybody dismiss 1499 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 9: the Bears? But they're a lot. 1500 01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:01,680 Speaker 2: Like I said anticipated season, and dear, this is your guy. 1501 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 4: I think the Bikings are going to be an easy out, 1502 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:05,720 Speaker 4: but I don't think that. I still think they're gonna 1503 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,839 Speaker 4: end up in the basement. Yeahs division. 1504 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,680 Speaker 1: At least for sure, they're good. 1505 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,640 Speaker 9: Sam Arnold's my guy. He's an Orange County dude like me, 1506 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 9: so I'm rooting. I don't like that he's on the Vikings. 1507 01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 9: I wish he was somewhere else where I could I 1508 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 9: could root for him. But they'll be good. Not as 1509 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,720 Speaker 9: a good team, they are a good team. I don't 1510 01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 9: want to take anything away from the Vikings because they 1511 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,760 Speaker 9: have a lot of good they got. They do have 1512 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,720 Speaker 9: a good team. But it's like everybody's like, well, the 1513 01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:33,479 Speaker 9: Vikings are going to like and we're not, Like we're 1514 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:34,679 Speaker 9: not on the level of the Vikings. 1515 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:36,760 Speaker 3: Hey no, no, you're buff. 1516 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 4: I've been talking a lot too about how this is 1517 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,160 Speaker 4: the best situation I think a quarterback taken first overall 1518 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 4: has ever come into because they didn't actually warrant that pick. 1519 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 4: Ryan Pols has spent multiple off seasons curating this roster. Also, 1520 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 4: you don't necessarily need Caleb Williams to be his best 1521 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 4: in this first season when he's surrounded by the talent 1522 01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 4: that he is, and theoretically you think that he could 1523 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 4: rely on the defense, you limit the amount of points 1524 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 4: scored against them, given that I think they should be 1525 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 4: a top five unit this year. I want to know, 1526 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,600 Speaker 4: and this is not something that I've dived in on 1527 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 4: as much, but it's somewhat something that you are an 1528 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,080 Speaker 4: expert on, Adam. Because of all of this, what are 1529 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 4: realistic fantasy expectations for Caleb Williams? 1530 01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,600 Speaker 9: Oh, I'm glad you asked. It is It is a 1531 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,600 Speaker 9: very similar situation to what is going on with c J. 1532 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:27,840 Speaker 9: Stroud down in Houston, because a lot of people have 1533 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,280 Speaker 9: questions for like what receiver do we want? When you 1534 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 9: look at the Bears, it's you know, it's d J. Moore, 1535 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,519 Speaker 9: Keenan Allen Romadunze for here saying you've got Nico Collins, 1536 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,000 Speaker 9: Tank Dell and Stefan Diggs, and this is one of 1537 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:40,400 Speaker 9: those spots where you're like, well, I'll just take the 1538 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 9: quarterback is then you're getting all the you don't have 1539 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 9: to worry about it because the tight ends also factor 1540 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 9: into this as well. So the one thing that I 1541 01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,479 Speaker 9: really like about Caleb Williams opportunity is that he's a 1542 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,840 Speaker 9: better runner than people giving him credit for sure. So 1543 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 9: you can go into every game with an expectation of 1544 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,799 Speaker 9: about thirty to forty rushing yards, which is the equivalent 1545 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,439 Speaker 9: of a passing touchdown in most fantasy formats. So now 1546 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,320 Speaker 9: he's like, Okay, well that's nice, and if you can 1547 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 9: throw a touchdown and get some yardage, and I know 1548 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 9: that you know they're going to try to run the 1549 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,760 Speaker 9: football as much as possible. But I think that he's 1550 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,920 Speaker 9: a He's a safe floor quarterback who will probably be 1551 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 9: somewhere in the quarterback twelve quarterback thirteen, which makes him 1552 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,200 Speaker 9: the back end of the QB one situation. Okay, and 1553 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 9: with the defense being as good as it is, we 1554 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 9: hope that they're not going to be throwing as much, 1555 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 9: but still should be a solid performer fantasy wise. I've 1556 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 9: been taking him as my quarterback too, and a lot 1557 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 9: of drafts of course. Yeah, because I've been taking Anthony 1558 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 9: Richardson and Kyler Murray. 1559 01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Kyle, Oh, you're going hard in the paint. 1560 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 10: You know what the thing is. 1561 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,160 Speaker 9: It's like I didn't I didn't plan on this. In 1562 01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 9: the early part of the offseason. I'd gone for Anthony 1563 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:53,240 Speaker 9: Richardson and then like this spicy it is, Well, that's 1564 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 9: the rushing ability. Like you really need to you need 1565 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 9: to know your leagues. Like if you're in a league 1566 01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,920 Speaker 9: where you get four points for a rush for passing touchdowns, 1567 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,240 Speaker 9: excuse me, you got to take a quarterback who gives 1568 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 9: you the rushing floor. Josh Allen and Anthony Richardson's in there. 1569 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,720 Speaker 9: People love Jade and Daniels and Michael. Nobody wants Kyler Murray. Like, 1570 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 9: I'll take um. He was good. He was good at 1571 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,599 Speaker 9: the end of last season. McBride was good with him. 1572 01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 9: And now you bring in Marvin Harrison Junior and like, 1573 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,680 Speaker 9: sign me up, and I try to stack him with 1574 01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,479 Speaker 9: one of those two pass catchers and then I think 1575 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 9: I'm cooking. 1576 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 2: Now, Okay, let's keep talking fantasy, because Cowboy just locked 1577 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,639 Speaker 2: in ceed Lamb with the long term extension. How high 1578 01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:31,600 Speaker 2: are you picking CD as your wide receiver one in 1579 01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 2: Fantasy this year? 1580 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,320 Speaker 3: Are you taking him with a number one overall pig? 1581 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,720 Speaker 9: It depends on the size of your league. If you're 1582 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,559 Speaker 9: in the league that drafts three, if you start free 1583 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 9: wide receivers, yeah, you're better off drafting one of those 1584 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 9: stud wide receivers because the falloff is not massive, but 1585 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,000 Speaker 9: it is significant, especially when you come back around the turn. 1586 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 9: So for me, I play in a lot of leagues 1587 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 9: where you just start two wide receivers, so there is 1588 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 9: a question of do I want him, Do I want CMC, 1589 01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,599 Speaker 9: or do I want Freese? And a lot of dafts. 1590 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,680 Speaker 9: Early on, I've been going with the running back. I 1591 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 9: tried one today where I went with CD Lamb in 1592 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:08,599 Speaker 9: the number two hole. 1593 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and. 1594 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 9: The roster's good, but it's not as great as it 1595 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 9: could because I missed out on Travis Etn who I 1596 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 9: was anticipating coming back around. Okay, but I think it's good. 1597 01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 9: The one thing that I like about CD lamb situation 1598 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 9: is that going into that Week one contest against the 1599 01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,360 Speaker 9: Cleveland Browns, he's gonna have two weeks of practice. 1600 01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:28,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to be five. 1601 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 9: It's not like Jamar Chase, who has a Yeah, Brandon 1602 01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,000 Speaker 9: Ayuka is going to get a week of practice before 1603 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 9: they play the Jets, so that's okay. But yes, it's 1604 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 9: like it's like the off season never happened, Like all 1605 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 9: that worrying king had to sit there and wild all 1606 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 9: these questions and it's like, yeah, no, big deal, he's back. 1607 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:50,719 Speaker 9: We're good. He's going to get two hundred and fifty 1608 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:52,240 Speaker 9: targets were high. 1609 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's crazy, so you would go CMC first. 1610 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,160 Speaker 2: Christian McAffrey is who you're going with, if that makes sense. 1611 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,360 Speaker 9: Number one over, Yes, and it's and it's gonna be 1612 01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,599 Speaker 9: bad the first week. It's not gonna be great because 1613 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,640 Speaker 9: Brent Williams probably won't play even if he signs. I 1614 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:10,840 Speaker 9: can imagine him playing, and that. 1615 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,960 Speaker 2: Week they need they need it, like Brock does not 1616 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 2: play well without that protection. No, it's not a huge 1617 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,200 Speaker 2: sample size, but it's not great. 1618 01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 9: What was what three games last year? Yeah yeah, yeah, 1619 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 9: and it wasn't great for CMC, It wasn't great for 1620 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,760 Speaker 9: Brock Purty. So that is a dire situation. And Jim 1621 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 9: Williams actually has the history of not like holding out. Yes, 1622 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 9: and he's thirty three. He could retire, Like he doesn't 1623 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,360 Speaker 9: need this, he could just go out and do anything. 1624 01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,640 Speaker 9: So it does. I'm almost to the point of like, 1625 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,519 Speaker 9: you know, maybe I'll just go ceedee lamb. 1626 01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 3: Oh okay. Interesting. 1627 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 4: I mean also, I would think that they would make 1628 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,240 Speaker 4: a lot of sense given the fact that he literally 1629 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,840 Speaker 4: accounts for a third of the Cowboys offense. Yeah, like that. 1630 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 4: He is Dak Prescott's only reliable receiver. He is going 1631 01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 4: to get all of the targets, he's gonna have all 1632 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,000 Speaker 4: of the catches, he's going to have to have all 1633 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:01,599 Speaker 4: of the production. 1634 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:04,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, and there's nobody really, I mean, Brandon 1635 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,519 Speaker 9: Cooks is there, Dalton Schultz is there. They signed Dalvin 1636 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 9: cook which is not going to eat into that at all. Like, yeah, 1637 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,000 Speaker 9: it's it's all set up for Ceedee lamb. Once again. 1638 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,640 Speaker 2: I love this, Adam, thank you for George, thank you 1639 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 2: for all the bits. Because I have my draft this 1640 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 2: timing a thank you. 1641 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 9: Can I say something really nice about Carmen Battalion? Please 1642 01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 9: do this? Is this is my goal. Yeah, Like over 1643 01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 9: over the last three hundred and sixty five days, yep, 1644 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,800 Speaker 9: Carmen has blown up so much and I could not 1645 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,479 Speaker 9: be more proud of her. She does a great job. 1646 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,679 Speaker 9: She was so objective about the Bears, and guys would 1647 01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 9: give her grief every week and she was spot on 1648 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 9: every time. And I'm I'm incredibly proud of her.

Let us know this 1685 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 2: is going to be fun. 1686 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,680 Speaker 3: I want to like make it weird, right, Okay, not 1687 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 3: too weird? 1688 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 4: Alex, think about what you're asking the general social media 1689 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 4: population pick. 1690 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 3: We're going to get a big one, it is. But 1691 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,280 Speaker 3: Producer Patrick lead us through. 1692 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,679 Speaker 12: Alright, ladies, why don't we start off with the first 1693 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,600 Speaker 12: game of the entire season on a game show? Baltimore 1694 01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 12: Ravens versus Kansas City Chiefs, Now Carmen and Alex. You 1695 01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,479 Speaker 12: want to know who the leader is with points? Right now, 1696 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 12: Kansas City is a three point favorite minus three. We've 1697 01:17:59,320 --> 01:17:59,880 Speaker 12: taken Alex. 1698 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:00,519 Speaker 4: All right. 1699 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 2: This is an AFC Championship rematch, and this is tough 1700 01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 2: because Lamar and the Ravens I feel like need to 1701 01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 2: avenge that loss, and Lamar didn't play well. You know, 1702 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:14,240 Speaker 2: he's been thinking about that and itching. But I did 1703 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,479 Speaker 2: say I'm never betting against Mahomes and the Chiefs again 1704 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 2: until they prove me wrong. Chiefs are one and one 1705 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:21,280 Speaker 2: in game openers after winning. 1706 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 3: A super Bowl. But I'm gonna go with the. 1707 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:28,240 Speaker 4: Ravens, okay. I I mean minus three for the Chiefs 1708 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,320 Speaker 4: at home is basically just like a watch there. So 1709 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 4: I'm also going to the Ravens because the addition of 1710 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,560 Speaker 4: Dereck Henry to this offense and the fact that the 1711 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,479 Speaker 4: Ravens are gonna be motivated. I'm still not betting against 1712 01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 4: the Chiefs to make it to the Super Bowl again. Yeah, 1713 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 4: but I think they can, they can drop the season opener. 1714 01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,680 Speaker 4: All right, we got two ravens here, everybody, we got that. 1715 01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 4: We're gonna go number two. 1716 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,880 Speaker 12: We got the Green Bay Packers heading over to the city, 1717 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 12: the state, the city, Philly. We're gonna go play the 1718 01:18:56,320 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 12: Eagles and ladies. The Eagles our three point favorites yet again. 1719 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,640 Speaker 12: And why don't we switch this over, Carmen, who were 1720 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 12: you taking? 1721 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:06,400 Speaker 9: Well? 1722 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 4: This is it doesn't matter that the Eagles, like deals, 1723 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:10,160 Speaker 4: are technically the home team, but this is in Brazil, 1724 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 4: so they both have to travel. 1725 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 3: This is both good. It's gonna be a weird game. 1726 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 4: Uh not that I think it needs to be a 1727 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 4: weird game, because I just think the Packers everything about 1728 01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 4: them this offseason and into the preseason has just been 1729 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 4: business as usual. 1730 01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:23,839 Speaker 3: Like they have their swagger. 1731 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,599 Speaker 4: They know they have their fifty five million dollar man 1732 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,920 Speaker 4: in Jordan Love and he's got so many options to 1733 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,839 Speaker 4: throw to that I just don't see this Eagles defense 1734 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 4: keeping up. 1735 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 3: I'm taking Packers. 1736 01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been a lot of noise around Philly and 1737 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,240 Speaker 2: the relationship between Hurtz and Sirianni. They had a terrible 1738 01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,599 Speaker 2: end to last season. Now they did pick up Saquon Barkley. 1739 01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:49,439 Speaker 2: But any of the Packers just paid their guy Jordan Love, 1740 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:53,160 Speaker 2: and they had a great end to last season, as 1741 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 2: you mentioned, growing up in Brazil, so it eliminates any 1742 01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 2: home field advantage. 1743 01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,280 Speaker 12: I'm going with Packers, right we got two packs here, 1744 01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:04,880 Speaker 12: let's go number three. We got dash Cowboys taking on 1745 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,200 Speaker 12: the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland. Everybody, we don't have a 1746 01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,759 Speaker 12: three point favorite, but is a two and a half favorite. 1747 01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:15,599 Speaker 12: The winner of that one right now? Is Cleveland the favorite? Alex, 1748 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:16,240 Speaker 12: what do you say? 1749 01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,240 Speaker 2: This was a bit little bit of a toss up 1750 01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 2: for me. I know the Cowboys obviously just signed their 1751 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 2: guys CD. Nothing has really been done with Dak yet. 1752 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 2: You got Browns Amari Cooper playing his former team, which 1753 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 2: always adds a little bit of OMPs. 1754 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 3: They did pick up Jerry Judy. I'm gonna go with 1755 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 3: the Browns here. 1756 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,479 Speaker 4: Oo, you finally got we finally get one that we 1757 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,560 Speaker 4: disagree with. I'm going with the Dallas Cowboys. I just 1758 01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 4: don't I don't like the vibes in Cleveland. I don't 1759 01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,680 Speaker 4: know that we can even trust that Deshaun Watson is 1760 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,679 Speaker 4: fully healthy at this point. The Dallas Cowboys are gonna 1761 01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 4: be even if Dak does not have a deal, that 1762 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 4: means that he's playing for his next contract. He's gonna 1763 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:56,960 Speaker 4: be more motivated than ever. You know, Cee, he is 1764 01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:59,040 Speaker 4: gonna be motivated with all that money. And I think 1765 01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,600 Speaker 4: the Dallas defense, I can keep the Browns if a 1766 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:02,840 Speaker 4: the Browns defense scares me. 1767 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,479 Speaker 3: But I'm still going Cowboys. All right, let's go moving 1768 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:07,000 Speaker 3: on to this one. 1769 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:11,639 Speaker 12: We got Rams versus Loons and the favorite at home 1770 01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 12: Detroit with three and a half Garman. 1771 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 9: What do you say? 1772 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,800 Speaker 3: Lions?
