00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: was fired up yesterday about hoops and what another great

Speaker 2: night of basketball folks. Now hopefully tonight we get a

6

Speaker 2: great night of football. We'll do best bet at the

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: end of the podcast. Eagles Washington, Your boy needs to

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: bounce back after last last week's it was gross. College

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: football has been great. We'll do college football picks tomorrow.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: But oh my gosh, how good was the NBA last night?

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: Now we'll get to the NFL storylines. Anthony Richardson is back.

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: I guess Shane Steichen has been listening to this podcast, right.

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: We'll get to some Deon Sanders comments that are gonna

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: be a huge deal today as my guest, and we're

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: gonna start with the NBA where I mean listen. We

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: could go Cavs now thirteen to know, although they beat

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: the corpse that is the Sixers who are without Maxie

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: em Beat and Paul George. We could go with the Knicks,

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: who were down twenty two points at home, storm back

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: seventeen nothing run they end up taking a lead with

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: four seconds left and then losing when Kobe White gets

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: fouled on a three. And then of course there's Janis,

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: who dropped fifty nine points for the Bucks, fifty nine

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: for Yannis, sixteen of seventeen on free throws. It's crazy

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: because as I'm watching this game, it went to overtime

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: in the Bucks one. Do you guys remember where Yannis

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: was so uncomfortable at the foul line that opposing fans

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: would count to ten because he took so long and

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: he got a couple ten second violations at the foul line.

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: He now hit sixteen of seventeen free throws and he's

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: banging the mid range. Gianis is playing out of his mind.

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: Show in the Bucks, hey, step up your fricking game.

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: His starting backcourt because Lillard was out and they started

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: putting Gary Trent on the bench. The starting backcourt of

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: Delon Right and the aj Green comebined to go one

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: of nine for three points. You're starting back court three points.

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: Janis had fifty nine. Now in the first quarter, Jannis

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: had twenty two. The rest of the starters had two.

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: Like it is looking bleak for the Bucks. Now again,

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: Dame didn't play so we're not going to go overword,

41
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: but I thought the most interesting NBA happening on Wednesday

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: night was my guy Victor Wembin Yama wemby his first

43
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: fifty piece in the league. Shout out to my guy

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Victor Wembin Yama eight threes. I had to look this

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: up because I'm such a nerd. I'm like, Wembin Yama

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: hit eight threes. So you guys know my story. But

47
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: I was born in New York and I really attached

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: to the Knicks. Sorry. I did like the at the

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: time Washington Bullets when I was living in Northern Virginia,

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: but they were terrible. I mean they were awful. I'll

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: never forget Tony Kornheiser.

52
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: You know.

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: Remember I would read the Washington Post every single day.

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: My parent, my dad would get it the newspaper at

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: the bottom of the driveway, bring it in before he

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: went to work, and I would pull out the sports

57
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: section and I would read, just Tony Kornheiser just kill

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: the Bullets every single week they had. He had nicknames

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: for all the guys. There was a guy named John Williams,

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: and Corneiser nicknamed him hot Plate because he just kept

61
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: getting fatter and fatter, John hot Plate Williams. There was

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: Steve Colter. I don't think he called him Steve afro Culter,

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: but he had an afro and that was kind of

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: his nick name. That one good player they had was

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: like Jeff Malone. They had Laddell Echols. I don't know

66
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: if you guys remember him. It was just it was

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: a bad time to be a Washing Bullets fan. It

68
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: got good when they got Weber and Juwan Howard, but

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: they weren't able to like make any runs or anything.

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: But I guess where I was going was I was

71
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: a Knicks fan early as a young guy when I

72
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: was following the NBA, and I love Patrick Ewing. He

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: was my favorite player. I waited in line with my

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: family too. Well, I don't like it was in my family.

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: I think it was just with my dad to get

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: an autograph of Patrick Ewing at Macy's and I was

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: like all excited to meet him. And you know, you

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: get to the front of line and Patrick Ewing basically

79
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: just signs it and hands it to you, and that

80
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: was it. It was just no, no, hey, how are you

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: a kid? None of that. It was just in and

82
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 2: out and I was a little disappointed after it. It's

83
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: like I waited in line for that and he wasn't

84
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: even that friendly. Anyways, I still like Patrick Ewing. I

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: have a Nick's jersey. I will wear it. You'll see

86
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: me on the beach tour in the Patrick Ewing jersey. Anyways,

87
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: I counted, guys, are you ready for this? Webbin Yama

88
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: fifty points last night and hit eight three pointers. Okay,

89
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: the seven foot four, seven to five guy hit eight threes.

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: Patrick Ewing in his first nine seasons in the NBA

91
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: six hundred and eighty games, hit a total of seven

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: three pointers. Wembin Yama hit more than that in one game. Now,

93
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: I know what you're gonna say, Jason, that was twenty

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: thirty years ago. Come on, man, get out of your bubble.

95
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: This is this is a new NBA. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock,

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm aware of that. But we're talking nine seasons for

97
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: Patrick Ewing, nine seasons, six hundred and eighty games. That's

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: how much the game has changed. Where one Binyama is

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: making eight threes in a game in route to fifty points.

100
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: It's just and I know people are like, oh, I

101
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 2: hate the NBA. Back to the basket and now it's

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: this nonsense and threes. I love it. Now I am

103
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: a three point shooter, but I still think it's fun.

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: I mean again seeing wem Begnya, Like, how do you

105
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: defend wemban Yama. He'll get you in the post, he'll

106
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: hit threes, and he's a rim runner, like he literally

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: can do everything. And I think the sky's a ceiling

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: for this guy.

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: I love the NBA, guys, I just do. Anyways, let's

111
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: get to the NFL.

Speaker 2: You guys know this. You get some right, you get

117
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: some wrong. I fully admit I've been way way wrong

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: on the Denver Broncos. I did not think that they

119
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: would be this good. I had them as pegged as

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: one of the worst teams in the league. Now that's

121
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: could still happened, but through ten games they look competent.

122
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: I was way, way, way, way wrong on the Pittsburgh

123
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Steelers and the Russell Wilson experience. Now listen, it's only

124
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: been three games for us. They could also creter. The

125
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: schedule gets very very difficult here in short order, and

126
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: they might end up there's a chance they missed the playoffs.

127
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Whatever.

128
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: But so far they have exceeded all expectations. One thing

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: I was right about that you guys listeners to this pod,

130
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: no is this Anthony Richardson benching was a total disaster.

131
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: So what happens Tuesday morning? Shane Steiken comes out says

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson's back is the starter against the Jets, and oh,

133
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: by the way, he's going to be starting the rest

134
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: of the season. Hmmm, here's the oddity. Listen to what

135
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: Stiken said over the last two weeks, He's made strides

136
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: in both his off the field preparation and attention to detail,

137
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: big time strides in becoming a pros pro. Are we

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: missing something here? Are there are there details that have

139
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: not trickled out that will was Richardson? I don't know.

140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: When I hear off the field preparation and attention to detail,

141
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. Are we looking at a homework situation

142
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: like Kyler Murray? Did they find out Anthony Richardson was

143
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: not watching game tape on his computer? Was he late

144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: to meetings. Was he not locked in?

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: Was he a goof off?

146
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it sounds like we're missing something.

147
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people thought he was just bench for

148
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: poor play, which is reasonable. You know, you get center

149
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: to the bench. He's missing easy layups. He was what

150
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: two for fifteen and one half. Some people think he

151
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: was mostly benched because when they asked him why he

152
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: left the game for a play, he said he was tired.

153
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: It was like the second quarter. I mean, the guy's

154
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: running for his life back there and that. I don't

155
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: think I've ever heard of a quarterbacks say I had

156
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: to come out because I was tired. I needed a

157
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: breather for a play. Like is the nutrition in bad shape?

158
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: Is he hitting taco bell after practice? What's going on?

159
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a lot of mystery with this

160
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson thing, But the bottom line is Stichen said

161
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: he's going to start this week against the Jets, and

162
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: he will start the rest of the season. Now hopefully

163
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: this will not stuck his growth too much. I use

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: an analogy. I think it was yesterday on the pod,

165
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: or maybe it was out and on the herd about

166
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: sports and listen in my Men's League, and yes, tonight

167
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: we have a huge semi final game against Mosk Golf.

168
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm nervous, not gonna lie, you know, I'm keeping it

169
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: all honest with you, guys. I'm very nervous. I'll be

170
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: livid if we don't win the title this year. Anyways,

171
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: I know when I'm on the court, it's like I'm

172
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: not one of you. Got a couple stars on our team.

173
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: We had to recruit some big time guys. If I'm

174
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: in there and I miss, I don't know my first

175
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: four shots, Guys, I'm pulling myself out of the game.

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: I am. Now that's the beauty. I'm not one of

177
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: the stars. I can do that. And I use the

178
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: story about my kids playing volleyball, and if someone's struggling,

179
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: the coach can either yank the kid quickly and they

180
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: don't get to play through their mistakes, or you leave

181
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: them in there and they sink or swim and who

182
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: cares about the result. This is a long process. And

183
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: I kind of felt that way about Anthony Richardson. Was

184
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: he struggling? Hell yeah, But this idea that, hey, we're

185
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 2: a couple Anthony Richardson interceptions away from being a playoff team.

186
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 2: That is total nonsense. Come on, Like, yeah, did I

187
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: think the Cultu are gonna be good? Yes? Did I

188
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: think they had a shot at a wild card? Sure,

189
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: but you look at the roster and the Texans we

190
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: know are winning that division and the AFC's loaded. Now.

191
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: A couple teams have been disappointing aka the Jets and Dolphins,

192
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: but Miami's rebounding Chargers have given the look of a

193
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: playoff team, but their schedule gets tougher. But like, what

194
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: are we doing here? Are we playing for the season

195
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: or are we going long term? Do we have our

196
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback? And the only way to find that out

197
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: is to play the damn guy. So Richardson will go

198
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: back to getting to start this year. I think that's

199
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: great news for Jonathan Taylor. That's bad news for the Jets,

200
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: but it's good news for Jets fans. Yes, Jets fans

201
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: who would not think it's the worst thing in the world.

202
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: If they lost all of the rest of their games

203
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: and then had a top five pick. I think that

204
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: would be fantastic. If you're not going to the playoffs,

205
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: I'm fine with you losing a lot. You already fired

206
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: the coach. Okay, you're not going to the playoffs. The

207
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: next thing, the next s Dominoda fall would be the

208
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers situation, which I'll get to in a second.

209
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: But regarding Richardson, like is he gonna struggle? Of course,

210
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: have we seen other highly touted quarterbacks year A god

211
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: struggled big time. Lamar Jackson didn't play for the first

212
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: what was it like the first eight seven eight weeks

213
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: and then came in it was like exclusively running and

214
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: it was like, oh, he's limited, but he was winning

215
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: games because he could only run. And they did a

216
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 2: good job catering to Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. By the way,

217
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: I think in year two he won the MVP award.

218
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 2: Go look up Josh Allen's rookie year. Brian Dable fixed him,

219
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: like you just have to have confidence and faith. Now,

220
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: what we don't know is was Anthony Richardson the pick

221
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: of the owner or the coach in GM And you

222
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: know these are answers we may never ever get unfortunately,

223
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: because you know, we saw what Stichen did with Jalen Hurts.

224
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: MVP candidate would have won the award if he didn't

225
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: miss a couple of games late, was dynamic in the

226
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl against the Mahomes, nearly won that game by himself.

227
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: Hurts was amazing, and you're like, oh, they got a

228
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: supercharged version of Jalen Hurts. Like that's what Anthony Richardson

229
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: could be.

230
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Now.

231
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: Hurts was a multi year starter in college, first at

232
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: Alabama and then he transferred to I believe it was

233
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: Oklahoma when the whole Ta thing happened. And it's like it.

234
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: Hurts is a consummate pro. Like, this guy carries a briefcase.

235
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: You always see him in a suit at press conferences.

236
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: He's got his act together. Anthony Richardson a little younger,

237
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: little inexperienced. You know, I could see it. I think

238
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: I told you guys the story. But a lot of

239
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: people were courting him to be his agent when he

240
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: was at Florida, and I happened to know someone close

241
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: to that process, and you know, basically everybody walked away

242
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: with man, there's no way this guy's ready. He is immature,

243
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the starts. But if he plays one

244
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: more year in college, hell yeah, and then of course

245
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: the family gets involved. Oh my gosh, millions of dollars.

246
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: He could be a first round pick, let's do it.

247
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: And so he wasn't ready. We knew that, okay, and

248
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: it's gonna take some time. But like, if you look

249
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: at the Colts quarterback situation, folks, I'm gonna rattle off

250
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: a couple teams right now. You tell me who would

251
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: you rather have given your quarterback situation, Tua at a

252
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: massive price given his concussion issues or Anthony Richardson where

253
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: you just don't know. I would go Anthony Richardson because

254
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 2: guess what if Tua can't get them to the playoffs

255
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: and he's got that huge salary, It's like, ooh, that's

256
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: not good. And I know he had the concussion, but

257
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to start looking around to cut bait,

258
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: and they don't have a ton of talent, right Anthony

259
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: Richardson if he flops this year and next, Okay, we

260
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: move on. Would just take another bite at the apple?

261
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: Look at the Cleveland Browns. What's your quarterback situation? Deshaun

262
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: Watson Achilles, Deshaun Watson train wreck, Jameis Winston. Eh I

263
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: do kind of like Winston this week, though, file that away,

264
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: Like I would rather have Anthony Richardson just because simply,

265
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: we don't know if he's gonna be a franchise quarterback

266
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: or not. Like some of these guys like Will Levis,

267
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: we know he ain't the dude. Okay, Will Levis is

268
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: not gonna be the guy. So Tennessee's got to look

269
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: for a quarterback. I read something where some speculated Sam

270
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: Darnold could be the stopgap quarterback if they don't have

271
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: a high enough pick Ticket Schaedur or cam word like,

272
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: come on, but you look around the league and that situation.

273
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie Dak Prescott and Dallas given what

274
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: had just happened with the injury, given the rest of

275
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: the roster, or Anthony Richardson in Indie, that's a no

276
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: brainer for me. I'm going Anthony Richardson now. It's easy

277
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: for us to play armchair GM here. Meanwhile, if you're

278
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: in it, oh, I need Dak out there to save

279
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: my job, right, I mean McDaniel there was some scuttlet

280
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: about him being on the hot seat. So this is

281
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: a difficult process. There's no right answers. That's the beauty

282
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: of having a podcast and you guys having a voice

283
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: and social media and TV radio, like everybody can chime in,

284
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: and there is no definitive right answer right there just isn't.

285
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: Like when Baker Mayfield washed out in Cleveland and then

286
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: he bounces around to the Rams and was he in

287
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: Carolina somewhere and it's like, oh man, it's over for

288
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: that guy. Well, you know what, bound it in Tampa

289
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 2: and Baker may feels pretty damn good right now. I

290
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: don't think he's a top ten quarterback, but the ceiling

291
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: of being a top fifteen quarterback.

292
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: He could be in the league.

293
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: For a while and keep Tampa relevant in that sad

294
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: sack division. Like I mean, he definitely looks better than

295
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Derek Carr. No, I mean, I like what I've seen

296
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: from Baker. Derek Carr can't seem to figure it out.

297
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's quickly pivot because I mentioned the Jets briefly,

298
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: so I don't want to take credit for this, but

299
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: I have been pushing. I hope Aaron Rodgers doesn't come back.

300
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't come back. Now that they lost

301
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: to Arizona. The media is on the story when we

302
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: were early, because that's I like to kind of try

303
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: to be early on stuff. And the media asked Aaron

304
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: Rodgers if he wants to play next year. Okay, men,

305
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: you mind you It's mid November and they're three and seven.

306
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, I think so.

307
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

308
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: He turns forty one in nineteen days. Okay, Rogers in

309
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: the off season, if you remember, said he hopes to

310
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: play two or three or f four more years. That

311
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: was in the offseason when he was rehabbing the achilles. Okay,

312
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: now he's saying, I think so yeah. Well, let's see

313
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: how this season ends out. Okay, let's see. I know

314
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: it's like the contract stuff is where it gets interesting.

315
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: To bring him back, the Jets would have to exercise

316
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: a thirty five million dollar option bonus. He has a

317
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: two point five million dollar base salary. The cap charge

318
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: is manageable twenty three and a half million. If does

319
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: it get so ugly that Rogers says, I'm done. I

320
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: can't do this. I've lost the you know, maybe I

321
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: need to go on a darkness retreat and find myself.

322
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: It's just football's not for me anymore. Is that in play?

323
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: Of course it is. You don't think Rogers could wake

324
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: up between now and I don't know, May March, whatever

325
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: it is, and be like I think I'm cooked, and

326
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: it would not shock me because that's kind of how

327
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: this guy operates the Jets. Now, it would be really

328
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: would really screw the Jets if it was past the

329
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: draft they didn't take a quarterback and then Rogers says, eh,

330
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm out. But that would be on

331
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: break for him because he's kind of an ordinary I

332
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: don't want to say too many mean words and be

333
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: a jerk here, but there's a scenario where the Jets

334
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: are drafting top five and they need to find out

335
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: from Rogers and he ain't going. I don't think he's

336
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: gonna want to leave money on the table, but honestly,

337
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: it would probably be better. And I don't know if

338
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: life is gonna get so unpleasant for him with the

339
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: Jets and the New York media and are the teammates

340
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna turn on him? I don't know. So the Jets

341
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: are similar on that Dallas track right now. But I

342
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: will say this, folks, and I probably should have led

343
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: with this, but we're we're starting to see like this

344
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: quarterback class coming out twenty twenty five in the draft

345
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: is not gonna be great. Okay, I like cam Ward.

346
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: We'll see what everyone else thinks. I think Jalen Milroe

347
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: has some potential with Alabama. I think he could be

348
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: a decent pro. I don't know if he's top ten.

349
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: If you go back and listen to Feldman last week,

350
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: it sounds like scouts like him. Sad Or Sanders is

351
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: the one guy who's unequivocally been the best out there.

352
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: But here's where it gets interesting. So Dion Sanders went

353
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: on one of the Fox shows yesterday speak and said

354
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: would he step in and stop Schador from being drafted

355
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 2: by the wrong team? And he said, yeah, but I'm

356
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: not going to do it publicly. I'll do it privately. Well,

357
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I need to ask you. Can you

358
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: please define for me the wrong team? I don't know.

359
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: That's very open ended, extremely open ended. The wrong team.

360
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll just go through a couple with you here, guys, Okay,

361
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: this is fun. There should be a fun experience. Is

362
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: Jacksonville the wrong team? I'll just remove them because they

363
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: pay Trevor Lawrence. Are the New York Giants the wrong team?

364
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, how many coaches have been in the last

365
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: three or four years now. Brian Dable is a great coach.

366
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: You have Molak neighbors. Maybe a good city for marketing

367
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: could work. Tennessee is that the wrong team? Who's the

368
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: last good quarterback they had Steve McNair I Cleveland, terrible franchise,

369
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: nobody's ever had success there. That could be a bad

370
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: setting for Shaduur, who feels like a Hollywood type guy,

371
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: not like a Cleveland, Ohio guy. Vegas Raiders, I said,

372
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: dangerous city, also a really rotten franchise right now, from

373
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: owner to coach, they're going nowhere fast. They traded Davonte

374
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: like Vegas is a multi year rebuild. I don't think

375
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: New England, you know, Drake May's look good. I don't

376
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: know if New Orleans would Jets Carolina. I mean, there's

377
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: a lot of potentially wrong to use Deon's word, a

378
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: lot of wrong teams in there. I listen, I'm on

379
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: record saying this, and it's early. Let's see how the

380
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: process goes for Cam Woarre, Jalen Milroe, all these guys.

381
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: If you draft shaduor Sanders, just be ready from day

382
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: one for the Deon Sanders is going to be the

383
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: next coach. Just be ready. And you know that there's

384
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: some coaches around the league. Callahan and Tennessee, do you

385
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: really if you draft him, you're gonna be looking over

386
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: your shoulder and that is undeniable. You could say, no,

387
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: I don't care what he said about staying in college.

388
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: If he's got a chance to coach his son in

389
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: the NFL, you can bet your bottom dollar that Dion's

390
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: jumping at that. So whatever coach drafts Shador, just be

391
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: ready that that will be a looming situation. All right,

392
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: let's get your best bet here for Thursday night football.

398
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: Here's your best bet.

399
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: All right, Thursday and at Football is another great matchup.

400
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't think we could match Bengals Ravens from last week,

401
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: which was a thriller Ravens escape. But we get two

402
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: really good teams in the NFC. I think the Eagles

403
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: are second or third in the NFC, and I think

404
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: Washington's probably in the four or five range. Both these

405
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: teams could end up in the NFC Championship game. However,

406
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: I got to give the edge to the Eagles here,

407
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: and part of me, listen, I have I went against

408
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: Washington a couple times early this season and I got

409
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: kicked in the teeth, really stung, so that I backed

410
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: them and you know, good to go. Here's my concern

411
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: with Washington. And again there's no real data on this

412
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: season to back it up. But we know, listen, rookies

413
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: sometimes can hit a rookie wall. It's less about that.

414
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: Although Daniels was not great against Chicago, you know they

415
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: went on the Hail Mary. And then last week. I

416
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: know people will say, oh, they scored twenty seven on Pittsburgh. Well,

417
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: you know, remember Pittsburgh got a fake punt that failed

418
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: and Washington gets the ball first and ten in the

419
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 2: red zone based on that. So that is a kind

420
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: of a cheap touchdown if you track those. But you

421
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: start to think, okay, two games in a row against

422
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: good defenses. Eagles defense is really good. Now it's on

423
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: the road and a short week, and then here's the kicker.

424
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: So we love what Cliff Kingsbury has done all season.

425
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: He has been tremendous dialing up amazing plays. But do

426
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: you want to consider his history where in Arizona he

427
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: got off to plenty of hot starts, new wrinkles offense,

428
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: doing really cool, not gimmicky, but creative, interesting stuff that

429
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: caught teams off. Guarden Arizona got off to a bunch

430
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: of hot starts, and then in the second half of

431
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: the season, for whatever reason, either he stuck to his

432
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: guns and people caught up to him, or he tried

433
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: to pivot and everybody was ready, or he just didn't

434
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 2: have a counter pitch and the Arizona Cardinals had a

435
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: lot of problems in the second half of the season.

436
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: This actually goes back to his days at Texas Tech.

437
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: People have dug into the numbers. I'm not gonna go

438
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 2: too deep again. Different offenses, different quarterbacks, different everything. That

439
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: being said, I think you have to wonder. Okay, second

440
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 2: half of the season and Jane Daniels, this is two

441
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: straight games where it hasn't gone awesome. The weather looks

442
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: like it's going to be in the high thirties, low

443
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: forties short week. Philadelphia has been something of a juggernaut

444
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: at home. Jalen Hurts in night games at home eight

445
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: two and one against the spread. Philly is coming off

446
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: an easy win over Dallas where they were able to

447
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: thankfully rest a bunch of their stars in the fourth

448
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: quarter so that they'd be fresh for Thursday. Meanwhile, Washington's

449
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: in a game to the end with the Steelers, and

450
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see there's no major injuries that I

451
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: can find that Brian Robinson, obviously he go for Washington.

452
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: That's big. And I did go against Jayden Daniels on

453
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: Monday Night football against the Bengals. That one hurt because

454
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: Daniels was incredible. Thursday's a little different though. You know, again,

455
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: this is a short week for a rookie quarterback, and

456
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: I just I'm gonna give the edge to the Eagles here.

457
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: I do think that they should be okay handling Jayden Daniels' legs.

458
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna assume he I would look at his rushing

459
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: yards over prop simply because I think given the good

460
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: play of these cornerbacks for Philly, they are rookies, but

461
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: they're playing great. I wonder if Jane Daniels does a

462
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 2: lot of tuck and runs the way he did against

463
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay early, if he's under pressure just he just chuck,

464
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: tuck and run. However, the linebackers Zach Bond and Nikobe

465
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: Dean are very good. Philly loves Zach Bond. They kind

466
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: of stole him from the Saints where he was. I

467
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: don't know if misused is the right word, but I

468
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: don't know. This is kind of to me. It'll ultimately

469
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: come down to can Dan Quinn stop Kellen Moore. Remember

470
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: these two were unstaffed together at Dallas, a lot of familiarity.

471
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: So I'm looking at like a low scoring game and

472
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking maybe we're looking at Philadelphia twenty four Washington fourteen,

473
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 2: twenty three to seventeen. I like Philadelphia and the cover.

474
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: This is not a big play for me. This is

475
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 2: a pizza money wager at best. These divisional matchups are tricky.

476
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm coming off a week where I did awful in

477
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: the contest, unspeakably bad. I don't even want to discuss it,

478
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: and I'm looking at a bounce back. I don't think

479
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: there's any big edge here. I think Philly's the better

480
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: team and I think they get it done at home.

481
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: That being said, you know, Jaden Daniels is not a

482
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 2: comfortable guy to bet against because he is going to

483
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: be in every game thanks to his legs scrambling ability,

484
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: and I think Washington's gonna be live here obviously. I mean, listen,

485
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: it's a three and a half. If this were three,

486
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 2: to me, it's like, well, why isn't this three? Because

487
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: it seems like, okay, this is three two. But I

488
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: wonder if all the sharp money pushed it off three

489
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: and now US peasants, us pleabes are coming in late

490
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 2: at three and a half, and you know, maybe this

491
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: is twenty three twenty Washington loses, you know, and the

492
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: sharp guys get a push. So I'm sticking with three

493
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: and a half. I think Fonngio's defense gets it done.

494
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 2: I think Philadelphi's defense being you know, they got two

495
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: rookie cornerbacks in the secondary and they've been improving every week,

496
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: and they were so good against Cooper Rush could have

497
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: had no where to throw, like steedee lamb was never

498
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: opened in that game. And you know, if they can

499
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 2: bottle up Terry McClure and then you're like, okay, Austin

500
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: Eckler beat me, go ahead, double dog, dare you? So

501
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: it should be a very good game. I'm excited for it.

502
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 2: We will have weekend picks tomorrow. Talk to you then
