31
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: three and ow podcasts Chiefs Ravens. Chiefs win twenty seven

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: to twenty. It's weird, like I didn't. I felt like

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs from Dramatic better for a large portion the

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: game came down to the final play on that final drive.

35
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: It actually they could have scored on a couple other

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: previous plays. Lamar kind of airmailing balls and then likely

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: makes a great play, but as toe kind of like

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant three pointer years ago, toe on the line

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: and doesn't count Chiefs win. They cover the spread, and

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are off and running. The Ravens definitely got

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: some question marks with that offensive line, which is atrocious,

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: and football's back. So it was an enjoyable night. It's

43
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: just fun. The intensity of the game, the hitting of

44
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: the game, the appen of the players on some late hits,

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: a little too many flags. So we'll dive into the Chiefs.

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: We'll dive into the Ravens. The new kickoff rule, which

47
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: clearly is going to get neutralized as these coaches just

48
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: tell their kicker to boot it through the end zone

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: as Budker was doing tonight. I would imagine we're going

50
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: to see that on Friday night and then a lot

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: more on Sundays to come. But we'll dive into the

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Packers Eagles game a little bit. Just a couple of thoughts.

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: It's Fugazi Friday, so it's not quite a fugazi but

54
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a little incident I had in the sauna that you know,

55
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: just you guys can chime in your opinion, fire my

56
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: into my Instagram at John Middlecoff if I'm crazy or

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: if there's just a basic level of respect. I'll tell

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: the story after we talk about the Eagles and Packers

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: playing in Brazil. Stucky will join us as he does

60
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: every Friday, talk a little college football, talk, a little

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: NFL stuck. He knows his stuff, man, I mean he

62
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: is you knows college you know, he's dropping coordinators that

63
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of, and then we'll break down

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: some NFL games. A lot of underdogs I like on Sunday.

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: A lot of underdogs I like on Sunday Week one,

66
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: especially Sunday that ten am West Coast kickoff or one

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: o'clock if you're on the East Coast. It's always there's

68
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: always some weird moment. There's gonna be upsets that we

69
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: think are upsets, and then as the season goes on,

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: it might not have been an upset. So I always

71
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: think Week one is a little wonky. We got some

72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: big college games as well, so it's exciting. Football is

73
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: back and we're just in the swing of things now.

74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: So no mail bag today at John Middlcoff. Fireing those instagrams.

75
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: We'll probably do a big one next week, maybe Monday,

76
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: definitely Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday range. So keep firing in those dms.

00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I see a bunch of you already have. But me

82
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: But before we dive into the football game, I got

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: to tell you about my friends, my partners in the

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: official ticketing app of this podcast, game Time. How fun

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: to that if I was a Chiefs fan wearing my

86
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: chief shirt right now? Kind of am a Chiefs fan

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: because I love Andy Veach and how do you not

88
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: like them? They're fun to watch. I've been to many

89
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs games. Actually I worked there my senior year in college.

90
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: But if you want to go to an NFL game,

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: a college game, a concert, obviously, we saw Taylor Swift

92
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: about seventeen times. I don't know if I'd personally attend

93
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: a Taylor Swift concert, but I don't blame you. If

94
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: you want to go, take your girlfriend, take your wife,

95
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: take your daughter, have a good time, go to any concert,

104
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat the Ravens, and one moment after the first

105
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: drive the Ravens scored. Derrick Henry had a nice little

106
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: touchdown run. You're like, oh, this is kind of fun

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: Dereck Henry and Lamar in the backfield. I looked on

108
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: the DraftKings app and the Chiefs were a money line underdog.

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I was like, should I jump on this? And about

110
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty minutes later, I highly regretted that because, let's

111
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: face it, like I understand the score was close, and

112
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: the game, you know, in theory was close. I see

113
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: a wide gap between these two teams. Now I don't.

114
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm acting like the Ravens are gonna

115
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs, but the Chiefs aren't. Just clearly the

116
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. Their offense is so much

117
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: more complete now. I think everyone's asking themselves when Xavier

118
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: Worthy scores that first touchdown on kind of that end

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: around you go. The Bills really traded with them and

120
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: let them have this guy. We talked about it earlier

121
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: in the week. Is when you look in at Tyreek

122
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Hill's rookie season. Now Mahomes wasn't there, Alex was, but

123
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: he accounted for twelve touchdowns. And obviously once they got

124
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: Tyreek to go with Kelsey, it kind of changed their

125
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: whole operation, even before they put Mahomes in there, and

126
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: then once Mahomes hit the ground run and they started being,

127
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, an absolute powerhouse. Well, last year the Chiefs

128
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: offense because their skill guys on the outside were not

129
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: very good. Yamado Or Lenor told Richard Sherman a couple

130
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago when they were going to the Super Bowl,

131
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: he was begging for the defensive coordinator to put him

132
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: in the slot instead of playing outside because they couldn't

133
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: threaten you outside the numbers, which was kind of counterintuitive

134
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: to the way we always thought about the Chiefs. But

135
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: the moment they traded Tyreek Hill, everything changed. Now you

136
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: add worthy a legit deep threat. I've listened to a

137
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy guys hammer this home, and I don't

138
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: listen I'm not a huge fantasy guy, respected I know

139
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: a lot of you people play, but I think sometimes

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: when you're deep into the weeds, you can overthink stuff

141
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: and everyone's like Rashi Rice. They gave him extra targets

142
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 1: last year because they didn't have other weapons. It's like, guys,

143
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: did you watch him play? That guy is freaky good. Now,

144
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be behind the wheel of a Lamborghini with

145
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: seven of his buddies going nine hundred miles an hour

146
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: down a freeway. But you get that guy on a

147
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: football field, Like, if you just watched him play, whether

148
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill was even on the team or not, he

149
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: would have been productive. So you add worthy speed threat

150
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: with him. They have multiple tight ends. I mean, Travis

151
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: Kelsey didn't even really do anything tonight. They have the

152
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: best quarterback, Like I think when you watch tonight, you

153
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: see the gap between the two quarterbacks. Lamar is one

154
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: of the most remarkable players you'll ever watch in any

155
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: sport in your entire life. He is a very, very

156
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: fun player to watch. But because let's face it, most

157
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: teams are gonna have some weaknesses on their offensive line,

158
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: and throughout a game, a quarterback is gonna scramble, not everything,

159
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: especially the way those two guys play. It's not gonna

160
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: be Tom Brady Peyton Manny getting rid of the ball

161
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: really quick, or Sean Payton back in the day with

162
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. They're gonna add lib a lot. And when

163
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: he add libs, and when Lamar ad libs, he could

164
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: control himself of the end of the ad lib and

165
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: throw a direct strike. And obviously he can play just

166
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: like a game manager. He can throw great deep balls,

167
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: he can do it all, but that specifically was a

168
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: huge difference tonight when Mahomes was scrambled around. It's been

169
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: a huge difference his entire career. It's what makes him

170
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players of all time. He can

171
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: throw these perfect strikes that lead to first downs, keep

172
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: the chains moving and everyone goes on with themselves. Tonight,

173
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Lamar had two easy touchdowns before the one got called

174
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: off and he missed because as a couple of scouts

175
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: text me, he's like, why is he panicking so much?

176
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: And I understand panicking a little bit because the offensive

177
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: line ahead of you is atrocious that you're running for

178
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: your life. But once you see the guy open and

179
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: there's no one around you. You kind of got to gather

180
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: yourself and make a good pass, and Mahomes can do that,

181
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: and Lamar, for whatever reason, especially against the Chiefs, consistently

182
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: does not. Obviously to Night he ran all over him,

183
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: which is something that I still can't get over that

184
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: he didn't do in the AFC Championship game. But you

185
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: win in this league at the end of the day

186
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: by making passes. And like, I don't know if the

187
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl again, right they

188
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: have the best team right now. Injuries can happen. Football's weird.

189
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: It's a one game situation. We saw the Patriots dynasty

190
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: lose a lot of PA games. Weird things can happen.

191
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: But no one's betting against that guy. Why because we

192
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: have complete belief if it was flip flopped in that situation,

193
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: he's making the pass. Well. I just don't know how

194
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: you can have that belief, not necessarily in a regular

195
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: season game. Lamar is an incredible regular season player, but

196
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: in a playoff game, it just doesn't happen. And for

197
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: whatever reason, it doesn't happen against the Chiefs. And I

198
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: just when you watch Kansas City their offense, they struggled

199
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: consistently last year to get to twenty points, but luckily

200
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: their defense is awesome. Chris Jones. I think Chris Jones

201
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: is the new Aaron Donald. He's just an unstoppable force.

202
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: And he kind of was going like Lawrence Taylor tonight.

203
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, like Belichick and Parcels have always told stories

204
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: over the years like yeah, sometimes you just kind of

205
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: let Lawrence do his thing and he'd be kind of

206
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: freelancing back there. Chris Collinsworth was saying it on the broadcast.

207
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Chris would be lined up over a guy and then

208
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: he'd be like, screw this, and he'd just go back

209
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: over across from the right guard and right tackle because

210
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: he knew those guys with the mark and they couldn't

211
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: block them. And he was cos and Havoc all night long.

212
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: And their linebackers are fast, all their secondary have great

213
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: ball skills. They tackle well. It's just an elite defense.

214
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: And when you have an elite defense, your team's gonna

215
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: be solid. And then I give you the best quarterback

216
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: of all time and one of the greatest coaches of

217
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 1: all time, and now you've got added weaponry, like I

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: just if the Chiefs are on nobody's beating them. It's

219
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: not even debatable. But luckily, the great part about the NFL,

220
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: even when you have this great team, the regular season

221
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: is still fun. Like their regular season games are fun.

222
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: I was living in the Bay Area when Kevin Durant

223
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: was there. A lot of their games weren't that fun

224
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: during the regular seas. It was boring. It did not matter.

225
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: Tonight felt like it mattered. Now. Are the Chiefs gonna

226
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: try every single week? I don't know. I think they'll try.

227
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Their next game because they're playing the Bengals Atlanta kind

228
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: of feels like a classic game. They'll be flat. But

229
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: this team right now, I mean, they're just on a

230
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: completely different level. They're well run, they have elite players,

231
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: the play callings awesome. Their defense and their defensive play

232
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: caller are elite. Their special teams like, yeah, I know

233
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: this new kickoff rule that Roger you all want us

234
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: to do? Yeah, f you, We're gonna boot this thing

235
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: out to the chief of Hallock's cousin in the front

236
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: row of the end zone. That's what we're gonna do.

237
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: We're not even gonna mess with that. So big win

238
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. Yeah, I mean, they just they handle

239
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens, they find a way they beat them. But now,

240
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: like this game for the Ravens, coming off that AFC

241
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: championship game, You've had all off season, all off season

242
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: to think about this thing, and it's just like, I

243
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know, something's just missing. Like I said, their chance

244
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: was last year, their defense is not gonna be as good,

245
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: their offensive line clearly isn't as good, and their offensive

246
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: line coach died. So we could nitpick Lamar who tonight

247
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: kept him in the game with a run around like

248
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: he was Walter Payton, which is something he has to do.

249
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: But I also think when you play like that, like ultimately,

250
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: when Patrick Mahomes scrambles, he's scrambling to throw and it

251
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: feels like he keeps his eyes up. Lamar does that

252
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: half the time and half the time he's like, fuck it,

253
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm gone. Which I don't totally blame him, because he's

254
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: such a great athlete and runner in the open field

255
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and he can make guys miss and he's so fast.

256
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: But it gets a little chaotic, and luckily they functioned

257
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: as a chaotic offense and night he hit that big

258
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: play to Likely who made like three guys missed and

259
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown to get him back in the game.

260
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: But against the best teams in the biggest spots, you

261
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: cannot win like that. It's impossible. You have to win

262
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, and it's hard to trust Lamar in

263
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: those spots. And it's definitely hard to trust their offensive

264
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: line and you lose Mike McDonald. Clearly the defense is

265
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: just not as dominant. It's just simply is not. And

266
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: now the Chiefs are better on offense. Because I'm not

267
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: judging this Ravens team, like I don't like him as

268
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: much as I did last year. Like I wouldn't bet

269
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: on him to be the number one seed. But to me,

270
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: there's still a nine to ten win team lock right

271
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: as long as as Lamar is playing seventeen games. But like,

272
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't take them seriously as a Super Bowl contender,

273
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know like you watching the game, like, yeah,

274
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: they'll be in the playoffs, maybe they'll win a playoff game,

275
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: maybe they won't. But people picking them to win the

276
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl like those days feel behind us now, right

277
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: like that that's behind us, Like with this team, and

278
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: they got good skill guys. Likely looks like a fantastic player.

279
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: I like Zay Flowers. The Henry fits a little weird,

280
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: like where it does not help them, Like you can

281
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: use Pachaco on screen passes, you can use them in

282
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: the rhythm of the offense. Derrick Henry is a guy,

283
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a lot of leads throughout the

284
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: season in these random regular season games. I've said it before,

285
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: like to me, they're starting to feel a little bit

286
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: like the Houston Rockets with James Harden. And I like

287
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Lamar personally more than James Harden. I enjoy watching Lamar

288
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: play football. You couldn't pay me to watch James Harden

289
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: play basketball back back in the day when he was supposedly,

290
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: as Daryl Mory said, better than Michael Jordan. But it

291
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of feels like that, like, yeah, the regular season,

292
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: you put up some stats, you're gonna have a bunch

293
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: of wins. Who gives a shit at this point in time,

294
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: like it truly doesn't matter. You know, you're only judge

295
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: in January, and I just don't take you seriously there.

296
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: I can't because and it's hard to be a Super

297
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: Bowl contender one when I don't trust your quarterback in

298
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: big spots throwing the ball and when he's running for

299
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: his life because the offense sucks even if he's capable

300
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: of running for his life, which Lamar Jackson is. So

301
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: I know the score was, it's not like this was

302
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: a twenty point blowout, But could you watch that game

303
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: and think those two teams are actually close even though

304
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: the game was close, Because that's not my takeaway. It's

305
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: the opposite. Like I feel the gap between Mahomes and Lamar, like, yeah,

306
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: they both got two MVPs. I don't view them even

307
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: remotely as equals. Like the gap between wherever of the

308
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: rankings of Mahomes being the top quarterback and wherever Lamar

309
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: falls three four wherever you want to put him, is

310
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: really really wide, like it's Grand Canyon wide gap. And

311
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: the other thing is Sean mcvayh talked about it this offseason.

312
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: He took Vraybels kind of clock management guy with him.

313
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: Wasting timeouts in the third quarter because you're gonna get

314
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: a delayed game penalty is moronic. Take the five yards.

315
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: We have seen this over and over and over in

316
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. In college, it's a little bit different because

317
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: the clock stops for the first down. But in the NFL,

318
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: because basically ninety percent of games are within one score

319
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: under six to seven minutes in the game, timeouts are

320
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: so crucial. So when you're blowing those in the middle

321
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, you can't have any worse game management.

322
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: It's the worst possible game management you can have, and

323
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: it's just unacceptable at this point in time, Like we're

324
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: not allowed to call timeouts. We will take a five

325
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: yard penalty with however many minutes left in a third

326
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: quarter to preserve that timeout for an end of the

327
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: game situation. And they had one time out, actually they

328
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: had none because they had to use it, you know

329
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs run offense. But like that's embarrassing, it

330
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: really is, and we nitpick these coaches and stuff, and listen,

331
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: it's hard, you're on the sideline. But that's one of

332
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: those where it should be like a hard and fast rule,

333
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: we will take the penalty. You should be practicing that

334
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: in training camp. We cannot blow these timeouts. And I

335
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: understand it's week one so you're working out the kinks,

336
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: but that seems like a point of emphasis after these

337
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: last couple of years, when it's been well talked about,

338
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: well reported on. These coaches are just maniacal with that

339
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: type stuff in terms of having people do research, like

340
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: no timeouts third quarter, when it comes to a delay

341
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: a game, let them throw the flag, which tonight I

342
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: thought the rest for being a little flag happy. I

343
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: mean early in the game, it's like, guys, just let

344
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the game get going. But overall, like listen, Football's football

345
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: is weird. Things happen. I mean, we saw Rex Ryan

346
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots. There's no guarantees. The way the situation,

347
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: the way the setup of the sport is. You see

348
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: it like in the NCAA tournament, in any one off situation,

349
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: if this was a seven game series, you know, basketball

350
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: or baseball, it'd be it'd be harder to take everyone

351
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: else seriously because you're like, the Chiefs are gonna win.

352
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: But that's not the case. But it's pretty clear they're

353
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: the best team in the league, and they have been

354
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: the last two years as Super Bowl champs, and now

355
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: they're better. And the Ravens have a legit issue. I

356
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: mean the right side of their offensive line looks really

357
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: bad for NFL standards. And Lamar can just be Herckey

358
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: jerky with some big passes and that's something that clearly

359
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: at this point in time, you know, if this was

360
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: year one or two, like, he has improved a lot,

361
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: but that's gonna be an issue his entire career. And

362
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: luckily he's able to make up for it with some

363
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: great runs and it's gonna win you a lot of

364
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: regular season games, but in the biggest games against the

365
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: best teams, especially in January, it's just not and never

366
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: gonna work. The other thing that really stood out in

367
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: Belichick said two or three weeks ago, what he wanted

368
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: them to do is just move back the kickoff spot,

369
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen yards and keep the same kickoff right

370
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: with that It's been our entire life, he said, It's

371
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: no different than golf. They started hitting it longer, they

372
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: lengthen the holes. He's like, clearly, they don't want to

373
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: do that, so they tried this. He's like, you wait

374
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: when the regular season comes. He's clearly talking to a

375
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: lot of coaches. They're going to kick the ball out

376
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: of the end zone. And that's what the Chiefs did

377
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: all night. Honestly, I was a little surprised that Ravens didn't.

378
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the crappy part was because I did enjoy it.

379
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: In August, this play is not really going to happen,

380
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: and it's going to be interesting what the league office

381
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: does to kind of push back, because a lot of

382
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: these coaches are like, yeah, we'll just take the ball

383
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: to thirty. Who cares. We're not going to risk a

384
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: fifty yard open field. Maybe a guy takes the house,

385
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: maybe he flips the field position. But any team with

386
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: a kicker with a leg strong enough to easily boot

387
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: it out of the end zone, I think it's pretty

388
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: clear that's gonna happen. So as much fun as August

389
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: was and I enjoyed it, I want to watch the

390
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: play like anybody because in theory, it does make a

391
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: lot of sense having some action on that play. I

392
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: just don't think we're gonna get it, and I think

393
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs showed us like get ready. It's like we

394
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be alone. So to Grass, the Chiefs one

395
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: to zero, Ravens zero to one, and yeah, man, so

396
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: we're off and running really quick. On the Friday night game,

397
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Eagles Packers pretty exciting to me. I wrote down a

398
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: couple questions for both teams that I think we're gonna

399
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: need to see answered. Obviously for the Eagles, two things

400
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: really jumped out. Their defense down the stretch wasn't bad,

401
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: it was atrocious. And really, when you look at the

402
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: stretch in which they were losing game after game, the

403
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: Seattle game where Drew Lock led them back with that

404
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown was probably their best defensive effort. Now, granted,

405
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: Drew Lock didn't really play that good until the last

406
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: couple drives. They only scored twenty points at being Seattle,

407
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: but then the last four games which includes the playoff game,

408
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: it was twenty five, thirty five, twenty seven, and thirty two.

409
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: So they add Vic Fangio. You know, I think the

410
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: big question Mark's gonna be can he get those two

411
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: big defensive linemen going. They drafted Jordan Davis and they

412
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: drafted Jalen Carter really really high, and as the obviously

413
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter was a rookie, but you know, it looked

414
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: like he ran out of gas. And obviously Jordan Davis

415
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: has battled some weight issues because he's a mammoth man.

416
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: And when you invest such high picks in those guys,

417
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: you need them to look like I mean, they're hoping

418
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter is like the next Chris Jones, and if

419
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: he is, they're in good shape. Because the easiest way

420
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: to help out your secondary who you know, was a

421
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: little long in the tooth, and and they have some

422
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: young guys which you never know, you know, rookie corners,

423
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: no matter how talented they are. It's a lot different

424
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: than training camp, practice college like we'll see you once

425
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: you get to the regular season and playing the Packers

426
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers are pretty damn good. Easiest way to help

427
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 1: them out is with a great defensive line. And two

428
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: years ago when they made this ball, their defensive line dominated,

429
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: and Vic Fangio when he's had awesome defenses that one

430
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: year in Chicago when Naggie was the head coach and

431
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: they had the best defense in the league. They had

432
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: a Keem Hicks, they had Khalil Mack, they had Leonard Floyd.

433
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: I mean they dominated up front. Obviously, those teams with

434
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and some of those teams when he was with

435
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: them at Stanford just dominated up front. So that's what

436
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm watching. Can he get those young guys rolling. And

437
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: then the other thing is like Jalen Hurts, like we

438
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: can nitpick Lamar or whatever, but he's still like, no

439
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: disputing he's beaten most teams, right, and that's why he's

440
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: such a great regular season player. Jalen down the stretch

441
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: of the season, now, whether it's hurt, you know, he's

442
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: so kind of cloak and dagger about it, which I respect.

443
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: He's not a big excuse. Guy looked like a shell

444
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: of himself. He threw five picks like the last four

445
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: games of the year. He was not potent, he was

446
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: not running. Part of what made him a great player

447
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: was the dual threat. Like, ultimately, if Lamar never ran,

448
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: he'd be kind of average. What makes Lamar, you know,

449
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: borderline elite guy, is this dual threat. At any moment,

450
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: he could try to chuck at fifty yards down the

451
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: field or he could take off for forty five yards

452
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: with his legs, and Jalen just tried, like I'm just

453
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball. And to me Jalen a couple

454
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: of years ago, especially early on in the season, when

455
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: he was building the MVP momentum, it was like, God,

456
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: this guy's a great runner. He had like a natural

457
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: kind of instinct like a running back, and he throws

458
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: a great deep ball. And then last year it was

459
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: all out of sink. So now you're bring Kellen Moore.

460
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: And this is the thing with the Eagles, They're very

461
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: dependent on these two coordinators being really good, and historically

462
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio has a very good resume. I think Kellen

463
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: Moore is a pretty good resume too, So if they

464
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: get those two guys going, not even necessarily for this

465
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: game in Brazil, which is just weird in general, but

466
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: just big picture, the Eagles defensive line plays well and

467
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: Jalen kind of gets back some of his mojo and

468
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: doesn't turn over the ball. It's just rapid rates. They're

469
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna be good. If the defensive line is not getting pressure, like,

470
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna have problems. I mean, I really

471
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: think that they can get away with a little bit

472
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: if Jalen's off, just because they have so much talent

473
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. But I'm fascinating. I think the Eagles

474
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: are one of the more fascinating teams in the league.

475
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: And then when it comes to the Packers, it's just

476
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: is this real right? Because what we saw that last

477
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: stretch of the season was like, this is Aaron Rodgers reincarnated.

478
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: That's what That's what the guy looked like. Throwing fucking

479
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: babies and darts for touchdowns, scrambling around arm angles. It

480
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this is what a max quarterback looks like.

481
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: And you know, historically in sports in general, we've seen

482
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: a lot of flash in the pants. The Packers don't

483
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: believe that that's why they extended him. They love the guy,

484
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: they love the player, they've been around him for a

485
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: long time. But the pressure gets amped up when there's expectations.

486
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: Last year, I would say like half the people were

487
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: betting against them, like they're not gonna be any good.

488
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: Now there are people like me thinking they could be

489
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: like a top five team in the NFL. They could

490
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: be a team if their defense is good and we'll

491
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: get to them in a second, could be like a

492
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender and the wind blows a little harder

493
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: at the top of the mountain. So last year they

494
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: got to fly under the radar like you watch Chiefs

495
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. No one's flying under the radar. Every

496
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: game they play moving forward like they're getting everyone's best shot.

497
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: The Packers like people feeling them out, like no one's

498
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: feeling them out. This year, people are coming for them,

499
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: right because everyone's kind of annointed them because they earned it.

500
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: You know, you win a playoff game, you almost beat

501
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: the Niners. Everyone's talking about your quarterbacks, your offensive weapons.

502
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pressure on a quarter That's why

503
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: becoming a star player is so hard, because you have

504
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: to do it every single year, year after year after

505
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: year after year. Like you don't just get to like, oh,

506
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: I just had a shitty year like that doesn't really

507
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: happen with most great quarterbacks, right, So I'm just fascinated

508
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: to watch Jordan Love. I like them. I'm buying the stock.

509
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: But like I've we've all been fooled before. So it's

510
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fascinating to watch them in this light and

511
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people watching Friday night Brazil against a

512
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: talent that he team. But how good that defense is

513
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: we'll see. And then to me, I just somehow know

514
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot of Packers fans in my life. Their defense

515
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: over the last fifteen years, with some of their great

516
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: offense has just been their downfall. And over the Rogers era,

517
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: their defense let him down countless times post suitable, Right,

518
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: the Niners shredded them multiple times, and it's just they

519
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: fired their defensive coordinator again for a reason. They hired

520
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: Jeff Haffley, who I don't know. He's never been an

521
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: NFL defensive coordinator. He's really only been a coordinator at

522
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: a big time college for a year, and I'm pretty

523
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: sure he was the co coordinator now. He's really well

524
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: thought of. Kyle Shanahan really liked him. He coached for

525
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: him early on in San Francisco. Obviously, Ryan Day in

526
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Ohio State. He's an impressive guy. That's why he got

527
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: the job with Boston College. But they've invested a lot

528
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: of high picks over the years on this side of

529
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: the ball, and he's an energetic guy. I've been around

530
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: him at practice a lot. If he's good, good, and

531
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: their offense keeps doing what they've been doing, they're a

532
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: legit serious contender. But if their defense is just kind

533
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: of what it's historically been, something you can't trust, they'll

534
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: just kind of be the Packers what we've seen for

535
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: fifteen years, sexy team be in the playoffs and not

536
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: really a threat to win at all. So this game

537
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: is really really intriguing. These you can't ask for much more. Ravens, Chiefs,

538
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: Packers Eagles.

539
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: The first week.

540
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: Okay, before we get out of here Fugazi Friday. Maybe

541
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, but and this isn't necessarily a fougazi. This

542
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: is just something that I sometimes I go. When I

543
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: go to the gym, I go to the sauna like

544
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people and I, you know, depending on

545
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the time of day I try to go, you know,

546
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: ideally no one's in there. I'll take my headphones, leave

547
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: my phone outside and just sit there for twenty five minutes,

548
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: listen to a podcast and just kind of close my

549
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: eyes and just sweat. And I never understand if someone

550
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: else is doing that. When I walk in, I don't

551
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: try to talk to them. I just let them be,

552
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: even if I don't have headphones on, Like we just

553
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: don't communicate. Now, if both you or if there's five

554
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: people in there and no one has headphones in, you

555
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: might start shooting the shit, talking life, talking politics usually

556
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: comes up, their kids, whatever. But if you have headphones in,

557
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: you usually leave them alone. And I've ran into the

558
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: same two guys like the last three or four times

559
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: I've gone, and they both just start talking to me

560
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: while I'm laying there with multiple towels over me and

561
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: something and earphones in, and it just drives me nuts.

562
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: I just don't understand it, Like it's a basic level

563
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: of respect. Ultimately, I take my headphone out, I end

564
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: up talking, but I don't want to, and I just

565
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: I can't fathom that if you walk in somewhere, and

566
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: obviously we live in a culture where a lot of

567
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: people just have headphones on in general, like if you're

568
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: just walking you're going to restaurant, Like if you have

569
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: headphones in, especially if I don't know you, it'd be

570
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: one thing. If I know you, it's like, oh, James,

571
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Really, what's going on? And you

572
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: start bullshiting You don't know them, never never really seen them,

573
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: know nothing about them, you started talking to them. I

574
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Maybe I'm crazy, but I just really

575
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: like that piece and quiet in that moment where I

576
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: could be listening to something in my own head and

577
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: just sweating out my impurities and these guys were just

578
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: wearing me out. And then both the guys, on separate

579
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: occasions today, they both came in at the same time

580
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: and it was just, I mean, it might as well

581
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: have been Woodstock ninety nine of a conversation. Luckily it

582
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: was I only had about ten minutes left, but I

583
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: was stuck in there for a while and just had

584
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: to take my headphones out and get in on the

585
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: conversation because I had no choice. They were just kind

586
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: of screaming at me my ideas on different things about

587
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't even. I mean, it was

588
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just want to be left

589
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: alone in the sauna. Week one is finally here for

590
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: the National Football League. We got Week two that it

591
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: feels like Week three in college football back again with

592
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: my main man, Stucky, Action Network, Big Bets on Campus,

593
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: subscribe Action Network podcast All Things NFL. Subscribe to that

594
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: as well, and all these lines presented by my close

595
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: good buddies at DraftKings Stucky. I guess we'll start with college.

596
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: I know we're both junkies for Saturday, Texas Michigan obviously

597
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: on paper doesn't get much bigger, but this Michigan team

598
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: is in last year's team. Watched that game pretty closely.

599
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: President State came to play Michigan's offense. Is you hit

600
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: on this? I think last week when we talked not

601
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: nearly going to be the same, but their defense is

602
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: still pretty stacked and they got DB's for days. I mean,

603
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: will Johnson's what a top fifteen pick. They have defensive linemen,

604
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: Like to me, when I look at it, obviously Texas

605
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: has loaded. They have probably be hide Ohio State, if

606
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: not equal to Ohio State and Oregon, the highest payroll

607
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: in the country. But Quinn Eewers on the road. Seven

608
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: and a half's kind of a weird number. But I

609
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: do think it's going to be harder for Texas to

610
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: score points than some of the games they'll play this year. Like,

611
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if even if they still cover,

612
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 1: but they win like twenty five to ten or twenty

613
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: seven to ten. The over unders forty two and a half.

614
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: I think Michigan, I think their defense is gonna work

615
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: this year. Like they're not. They're more likely to be

616
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: like nine and three, but not really feel like a

617
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: playoff team. Now who knows, I mean, depending on how

618
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: it all shakes. But that defense is just going to

619
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: translate all season long.

620
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the last week it was ugly on offense. Last

621
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: week the defense, I agree with you. They have one

622
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: of the better defensive lines in all of college football.

623
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 3: And then you have a first round draft pick at

624
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: corner and Will Johnson some other pieces in the secondary,

625
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: there are still some questions, but it's an elite defense nationally.

626
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: The offense, it's rough. I mean, they didn't really address

627
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: the wide receiver spot in the portal. Those guys, they

628
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: couldn't get any separation last week against Presno State. Presido

629
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: State has a decent secondary and a good secondary from

630
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: Mountain West terms, but I mean they lost a corner

631
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: to the NFL. They lost a linebacker the NFL as well,

632
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: and they couldn't get any separation. I think the receivers

633
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: had like three catches for less than twenty arts. Colson

634
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 3: Lovelin's a great tight end. He's gonna I mean he

635
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: had I think eighty of like their one hundred and

636
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: twenty passing arts. But the offensive line we talked about

637
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: last week. They lost six guys to the NFL. Obviously,

638
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: lose your quarterback to the first round. Davis Warren looked rough.

639
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: The offensive line looked rough, the wide receiver room looked rough.

640
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: Blake korm isn't there any longer in the backfield, and

641
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: Donovan Edwards is explosive, but you know, isn't the best

642
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: running back just on a down the down basis from

643
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: an efficiency standpoint, So this offense is going to be

644
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: a work in progress all season long. You know, Alex

645
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: Orgie can't really throw the ball. Can bring him in

646
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: for some running packages, Davis Warren, he couldn't really throw

647
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 3: the ball. So yeah, it's gonna be tough sledding for

648
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: this Michigan offense. Maybe they were playing a little you know,

649
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 3: rope it over and they weren't showing much.

650
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: I do think President State's probably a top five, top

651
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: tenish non Power five program and that that game is

652
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: their super Bowl, so that they were bringing it. But

653
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean the quarterback play, it's just going

654
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: to be an issue.

655
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was, And I just don't know if they

656
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: have any recourse to when teams load the box and

657
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: say we're just going to take away the run. I

658
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: would imagine Michigan wants to win this game via it

659
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: going under. They want to come out, they want to

660
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 3: run the ball. That one of the biggest questions with

661
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: Texas is they lost Sweat and Murphy up front, and

662
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: they're obviously not gonna be the same. But how much

663
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: is that drop off We'll find out this week. I'm

664
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: just not sure if the Michigan offensive line they are

665
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 3: clearly not the same as well can fully take advantage.

666
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: But I'm sure Michigan's gonna come out here labor really slow,

667
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: lean on the ground game, you know, use Orgy in

668
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 3: some packages, try to set up the platch and maybe

669
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: take some occasional shots. But it's it's hard for me

670
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 3: to see them really having an efficient day at the

671
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 3: office from an offensive standpoint. But they're gonna bring the

672
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: They're gonna bring, They're gonna bring blitz swing Martindale. Their

673
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 3: defensive line is really good, and quinn Ewers can be

674
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: thrown off a bit when under pressure. You know, his

675
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: footwork falls apart a little bit. Kenny hit some of

676
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 3: those downfield shots and not make mistakes. That'll probably be

677
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 3: the key to this game. This line, the look aheadline

678
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: was three and a half, and now we're up over

679
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 3: a touch down. The Unders also taking a ton of money,

680
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: so I agree with both movies, but now you're you're

681
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 3: really paying a premium for Texas. I wouldn't la seven

682
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: and a half in the game I think is going

683
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: to be low scoring. Maybe A's had bit of value

684
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: still on the under based on how I see it

685
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: playing out. But you know, if Michigan. Just if they

686
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: fall behind, it might be lights out. They got to

687
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: get a lead or stay in this throughout because they're

688
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 3: just not going to be able to throw the ball

689
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: with any type of consistency against the league competition. I'm

690
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 3: with you.

691
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: I think they translate against a lot of the Big

692
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: ten teams, but Texas tough matchup for him. Were about

693
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: to look aheadline because when I looked at NC State Tennessee,

694
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean NC State was top twenty five team in

695
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: a good program. Do you think that that Tennessee is

696
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: minus nine and a half on the road. Do you

697
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: think a lot of that is Obviously the buzz of

698
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: this young quarterback Tennessee has, is it safe to say?

699
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely probably the most talented quarterback. I

700
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: guess the dude they had last year had physical attributes,

701
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: but this guy's an actual good player. I mean if

702
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: he hits. I don't know if their team's good enough

703
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: this year, but over the next two years, could they

704
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: be like a national title contender? Obviously they recruit well.

705
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: That line's pretty big though for a team going on

706
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: the road nine and a half. What's your take on that?

707
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the look at the line here was like four

708
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: and a half four four and a half, which is

709
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: where around I made it. So now that this line

710
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: has gone up, that's the hardest part of it. In

711
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 3: college football, it's a lot more difficult now in the

712
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: first two weeks because of such extreme roster turnover, and

713
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: in some case you also have extreme staff turnover. But

714
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: now with the transfer portal nil, you have just rosters

715
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: that look completely different, look and sometimes they hit, sometimes

716
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: they don't, and you have to decide, Okay, do I

717
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: overreact or underreact to you know, small sample sizes one

718
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: data point for example, we saw that with Florida State

719
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 3: didn't look great against sort of Tech. Well, guess what,

720
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: it turns out that they're just not very good. That's

721
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: a team that gets downgrade at a ton NC State

722
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: didn't look great against an FCS team Tennessee did. How

723
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: much is that upgrade or down grade? So I did

724
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 3: play some NC State, but I could just be way

725
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: off on Tennessee and should be upgrading them way more

726
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 3: than I did, and should be downgrading NC State more.

727
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 3: NC State did have They lost Peyton Wilson to the NFL.

728
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 3: He was the linebacker of their defense under Tony Gibson

729
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 3: is one of the better defensive coordinators of college football.

730
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 3: Very complex defense can confuse young quarterbacks. It's a good

731
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 3: test for Nico, although he passed it with flying colors.

732
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: It was a bowl game, but against the Iowa defense,

733
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: he looked spectacular. But they lost their replacement to Wilson.

734
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: On the first drive of the game, he dropped a

735
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 3: pick six and then he was thrown out for targeting

736
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: and his backup was bad. He had all kinds of

737
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: blown assignments. They also weren't playing with their nickel. We'll

738
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: be back this week. He's the nickel and Tony and

739
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: his defense is just critical. They asked the nickel to

740
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: do so much. And it's a kid who transferred in

741
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: from Ohio State and before that Syracuse so and Grayson McCall.

742
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: He looked dense. State weapons are much better this year.

743
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: You know, running back at wide receiver Concepcion is back

744
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: as well. He's their number one. McCall just looked off.

745
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: He did start to pick it up in at quarterback

746
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, so I think that there was

747
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: just some rust there. New offense, So I expect the

748
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: NC State offense to be better. Tennessee yes, they could

749
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: compete for a national title next ol days. Their secondary

750
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: is a major question mark. We're going to see if

751
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 3: NC State is able to get any push because they

752
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 3: got to get the RPO game going with McCall and

753
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 3: his legs and waters in order, you know, to take

754
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: advantage off the play action of that Tennessee secondary. The

755
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 3: Tennessee secondary lost three guys in the NFL, three guys

756
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: to power four teams in the transfer portal. That's their

757
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: prime weakness. So I did take SANC State, but it's scary.

758
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 3: I could just be way off a NC State won't

759
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 3: be able to keep up, and this NC State defense

760
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: does indeed take a step back. And it is worth

761
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: noting it's not a true road game. It's in Charlotte,

762
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: so it's not on campus. I would imagine, uh, you know,

763
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: Knoxville to Charlotte. It's like, I don't know, three and

764
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 3: a half.

765
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: Four hours, yeah, drivable.

766
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I would imagine it's you know, maybe sixty

767
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: forty split in the crowd. Yeah, you'll you'll see a

768
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 3: big Tennessee contingent there. So it's not as great as

769
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: a normal home field advantage would be, but we'll definitely

770
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 3: learn even more about Miko there. There's been plenty of

771
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: times in the past against a Tony Gibson defense that

772
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: we've seen, you know, young quarterbacks make critical mistakes against

773
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 3: this defense, getting confused about where the pressure is coming

774
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 3: from the three three five where it's not so if

775
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 3: he has a clean and goes off and look out

776
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: the Tennessee team, but even makes some noise this year

777
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: back into the defense probably holds them back from you

778
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: know that true, you know, next level, but he's the

779
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: real deal.

780
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think how many friends some of

781
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: these guys accumulate. You just said that Syracuse Ohio State.

782
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been on three programs. It's it's pretty nuts.

783
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: That's a lot of moving around. I know a lot

784
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: of people just non athletes transfer colleges, but it's pretty rare.

785
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: Three schools and like a four year span. That's that's

786
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: just the modern day football. I mean, shit, you look

787
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: at Oregon you talk about data points, It's like, what

788
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: do you make of that game? We all know they're

789
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: really talented and they had a bad fumble, they missed

790
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: a field goal, but still, like you would think just

791
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: they would be able to score running the same five

792
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: plays over and over forty points with their eyes closed

793
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: against Idaho. Now they're playing Boise, who's running back just

794
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: went for like eight hundred yards and fifteen touchdowns, and

795
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: Boise a little like a I mean a lot like

796
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: a President State, the better version of just they take

797
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: these games seriously and historically now that I would say

798
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: they've had better teams, they've beat Oregon a bunch. So

799
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: it's not like this program I mean different people, different coaches,

800
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: but is intimidated in these type environments a lot like

801
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: North Dakota State last week against Colorado, they kind of

802
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: lived for this shit. So I mean, getting twenty points

803
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: now you also go the other way like I would

804
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: imagine landing. This week has been pretty intense at the

805
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Oregon practice and just the meetings. This probably hasn't been

806
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: a fun week on campus for those players. But to me,

807
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: this is a game like Nebraska Colorado. Both teams took

808
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: care of business. Colorado obviously has defensive efficiencies, but we

809
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: just got two teams confident coming in now and the

810
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: better team. To me, I like Nebraska in that spot.

811
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: But this is this is a weird spot for Oregon.

812
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: They're either going to answer the bell or maybe something's

813
00:41:59,440 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: a little off.

814
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a I did this look at line was

815
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: like twenty four and a half. It got down to eighteen.

816
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 3: I took some Oregon, you know, I thought the market

817
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 3: overreacted a bit. They you know, it was it's the

818
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: first game, new quarterback, new transfer pieces on defense. They

819
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 3: also didn't start their starting right guard who should be

820
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 3: back this week, which meant that they shifted their center

821
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: to guard, and they had a walk on starting at center.

822
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: So the offensive line, and they also flipped tackles. You know,

823
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 3: their tackles are really really good, but they flipped positions.

824
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: I'm curious toe if they go back, because it didn't

825
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: look like Cornelius was as comfortable on the other side.

826
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see how their offensive line chicks out

827
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 3: because that was probably the most disappointing part for me

828
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 3: watching that game back now, it was still a super

829
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 3: bizarre box score. I mean, they had like five hundred

830
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 3: yards of offense. Gabriel threw it like forty nine times

831
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 3: for four hundred plus yards, and the game was what

832
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: seventeen fourteen late. It was very bizarre.

833
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: They did hit two touchdowns on trick plays, right.

834
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, trick plays. Oregon had some killer penalties and

835
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 3: didn't didn't get you know, a couple fourth downs, so

836
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: there was a little misleading, but still a bit worrisome.

837
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 3: They also, you know, their two star linebackers barely played.

838
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: I would expect them to play close to a full

839
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 3: workload because they were dealing with just some minor injuries.

840
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: So I think the only played like uh Bassa and

841
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 3: Jacobs only played like twenty five combined snaps. So yeah,

842
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: I would expect Landing to have them super focus here.

843
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 3: It's also not a great just situational early season spot

844
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: for Boise because you know, you went on the road

845
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 3: in a very bizarre game. Just scheduling was he went

846
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 3: on the road to Georgia Southern to start the year

847
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 3: in that heat and it was humid, and there were

848
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: the cramps late and the defense was on the field

849
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 3: for eighty five plays, and now you're going to your

850
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 3: second straight road game in Eugene, and you know you

851
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 3: got to deal with that Oregon offense. Oregon meanwhile staying

852
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: home in the friendly confidence with their second straight home games.

853
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 3: So like from a rest and situational advantage, that all

854
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 3: goes I think to Oregon who I think you should

855
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: get a focused eff and this Boise defense is as holes. Yes,

856
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 3: they brought everyone back, but the defense wasn't that good

857
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: last year, and you saw that last week. I mean

858
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 3: Georgia Southern, who had questions on offense with a kid,

859
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 3: a new quarterback, JC French, and they put up forty

860
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: five points and all kinds of offense. So yeah, this

861
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 3: is just gonna come down Oregon. You know, Landing's gonna

862
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna key on genty. How many runs can he

863
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 3: break against the defense? That's basically just gonna say, look,

864
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: we can cover your guys one on one and we're

865
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: gonna just make sure that we take away genty. Well,

866
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 3: how many runs can he still manage to break on

867
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 3: his own? That's probably what this comes down to. The

868
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: interesting angle too, is like, well, Oregon try to pile

869
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 3: it on late or you know they have bigger fish

870
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 3: to fry. You know, they know they're going to make

871
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 3: the College twelve playof blah blah blah. Because I would

872
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 3: assume that Boise's going to try very very hard until

873
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 3: the final play because this game and just the final

874
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 3: score matters, will matter for the collegewell playoff committee, if

875
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 3: it's a decision between say Boise and Liberty. We saw

876
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: Liberty losing the bowl game to Oregon forty five to three,

877
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 3: and they don't have it, they won't have a data

878
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: point this year where we can say, Okay, they improved

879
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 3: their roster, now they can compete with the big boys.

880
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 3: This is a data point where they'll compare Liberty to

881
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 3: Boise State directly playing the same team. So to have

882
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 3: just how that game looks, the final score looks at

883
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 3: the end of it is important. So maybe keep that

884
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 3: in mind for Boise second half or because I'm sure

885
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: that like they don't, they would much rather have this

886
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 3: end fourteen than twenty eight. It just would help with

887
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: the optics.

888
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, last game before we get into the NFL

889
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: Colorado Nebraska. Obviously Colorado got or housed him Lastuarly Nebraska's quarterback.

890
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean, oh yeah, it was a joke. Well that's

891
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: completely changed. I looked yesterday. They lost. They went five

892
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: and seven four of their They had four out of

893
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: five losses by three points. I mean they lost I

894
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: think three games ten to thirteen, Yeah, thirteen ten, three

895
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: or four times? Yea, Yeah, they lost thirteen ten I

896
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: think twice in another game twenty to seventeen, or maybe

897
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: thirteen to ten, three times another one seventeen to twenty,

898
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: and their quarterback play was a joke. So the Colorado

899
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: really has skill guys, but that defense, let's face it,

900
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: probably it's not very good. I kind of like Nebraska

901
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: big in this game, you know, considering, you know, getting

902
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: seven points at home in that place nuts, But you're

903
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: also dealing with essentially a rookie freshman quarterback. You never know,

904
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: you're not gonna You're gonna have some weird moments, even

905
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: a weird half. If you have a great season, that

906
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 1: makes me a little nervous. But is this a tough

907
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: spot and last year rule it's an easy one to

908
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: get the troops going, right, we got fucking embarrassed. Who

909
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: you like in this game? Because this I would imagine this,

910
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy to say, but probably right there with Texas

911
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: Michigan in terms of interest in people watching, right, Yeah, I.

912
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 3: Mean this Colorado team, they draw eyeballs for sure, So

913
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 3: I you know, I would lean Nebraska now that this

914
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 3: is over a touchdown touchdown or better. I like Nebraska

915
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: at home. You mentioned a quarterback, major upgrade last year

916
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 3: could even snap the ball. I mean they were just

917
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: giving the ball to Colorado. And you know, the offensive

918
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 3: line is good, The quarterback is just significantly better. Running

919
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 3: backs looked good last week. The defensive line is really good,

920
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 3: just that entire defensive front. The problem is, like Colorado

921
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 3: still is a ton of talent at wide receiver and

922
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: obviously at quarterback with Shador so like they can not

923
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 3: only backdoor, they can just keep up hit explosive plays.

924
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 3: The underdog in Colorado games, you know, whether they're their

925
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 3: favorite or not. I mean, has hit I think Dion

926
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 3: has been there for third what's been there for thirteen games?

927
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: Games thirteen? I think the underdog is cast in ten

928
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 3: or eleven of those. But this Colorado team, to me,

929
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 3: like Nebraska, is much better overall, and they've and a

930
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 3: lot of that is because they really upgraded a quarterback.

931
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 3: The Colorado team, to me is looks like the same

932
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 3: team to me as last year. Right they tried to

933
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 3: go into the portal and fix some of their issues.

934
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 3: The offensive line still looks like a problem area. They

935
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 3: don't have a run game. The defense still looks like

936
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: I mean, the defense was just so undisciplined last week

937
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: as far as making adjustments to very simple concepts that

938
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 3: North Dakota State was running over and over and over again.

939
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 3: They just couldn't get stops. And then North Dakota State

940
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: team lost some key players from last year. They also

941
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: were playing with out their All American stafety is going

942
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 3: to play in the NFL. So yeah, Colorado just the

943
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: defense has major holes. The offensive line. It's basically like,

944
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: can they just keep up? Right? Can they keep up

945
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 3: with Tador and throwing to all of those great receivers.

946
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: It's not just Travis Hunter. You know, they brought in

947
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 3: Western and I forget the kids the top I had

948
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 3: to the other kid was the leading receiver last week.

949
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 3: It was really good Horn from last year. So yeah,

950
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 3: that's just like can they keep up? How often can

951
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 3: Nebraska's defensive line get home on Sanders cause negative plays? See,

952
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 3: he will take some sacks. That's probably what determines if

953
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 3: this gets out of hand or not. But it's always

954
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 3: scary because if you also look back at Colorado last year,

955
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 3: in a number of their games, if you look at

956
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 3: their scores, you'll see a bunch of games that were

957
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 3: much closer than they actually were late in the season,

958
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 3: because they just would you know, the other team would say, okay,

959
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 3: we're up three touchdowns, and then Colorado with their talented

960
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 3: offense receivers and score a couple of touchdowns late. And

961
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 3: you know Dion who obviously was trying I think he

962
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 3: was trying to pad. He was Tudor's stats at the

963
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,720
Speaker 3: end instead of taken a knee, could have taken a knee,

964
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 3: pulled a Mario throwing bombs late and north to go

965
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 3: to state. I almost made him pay for that. That

966
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 3: would have been national storyline this week. So you know

967
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 3: he's not going to stop. So that's another scary aspect

968
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 3: with this line over seven and a half, so probably

969
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 3: a pass for me, unless you know, with with Colorado,

970
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 3: you probably want to wait a bit, like there's going

971
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 3: to be a wave of the public money that could

972
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 3: have a potential. Say so it's at seven and a

973
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 3: half now, so if you like Nebraska, wait see if

974
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 3: you know there's some money that comes in on Colorado

975
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 3: and it gets down to a touchdown or last. In

976
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 3: that case, I'd be more inclined to bet the corn Huskers.

977
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 3: But where the line's at now, probably a pass. Just

978
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 3: sit back and enjoy the game.

979
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did a little research during training camp with

980
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: my NFL buddies that were going through I'm like, is

981
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: North Dakota State like, this is one of their better teams.

982
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: They're like, actually, it's the opposite. This is not as

983
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: good of a team. So that maybe as the season

984
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: goes on, we look back and go, well, North Dakota State,

985
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: which is a great program, this is not like one

986
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: of their just house everybody squads, which is reflective of Colorado,

987
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: which is not ideal. Big picture, as they get to

988
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, it's a big game because if they

989
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: get housed that they could be in it could be

990
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: another challenge to get to that Bowl eligible when city.

991
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you bring up a good point with North

992
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 3: Kota State. South Dakota State is a new North Dakota State.

993
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 3: Like North Kota State lost. I still think they're the

994
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 3: second and third best teams. But they lost four games

995
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 3: last year. So it's not your older brothers North Dakota State,

996
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 3: and they have a their their lock pro on that

997
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 3: team didn't play. He's out for a bit there with Snowski.

998
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 3: Their safety and there's the thing that a lot of

999
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 3: people don't talk about enough is in this new nil

1000
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 3: transfer portal world. I you know, you have all the

1001
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 3: teams at the top, it's I think you're gonna are

1002
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 3: gonna start to all get richer. So it's not I

1003
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 3: don't think there's gonna be like super teams like You're

1004
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 3: always gonna have the teams that can recruit best and

1005
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 3: hit the transfer portal. Your Georgia's, Ohio States Organs that

1006
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 3: are probably gonna be a step above. But I think

1007
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 3: the gap will actually close a little bit, you know,

1008
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 3: with your Tennessee's right, then you're gonna have more just

1009
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 3: more parody, and it's gonna look like an NFL with

1010
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 3: all the teams. But then the gap between the next

1011
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 3: set of teams grows, and then the bottom follows even more,

1012
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 3: and then you have to Then FCS is the next step.

1013
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 3: What's happening to all the best players on FCS? Is

1014
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 3: there coming to FBS teams and group of five teams,

1015
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 3: you know, getting that nil money. And then you see

1016
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: this with some lower level you know team, some teams

1017
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 3: in the MAC and Conference USA and these FCS teams.

1018
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 3: So where do you have to go to replenish those players?

1019
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 3: You got to then start tapping more into JUCO more

1020
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 3: into D two and D three, so the quality of

1021
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 3: those rosters is going to drop. Small sample of one weekend,

1022
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 3: but look less Saturday, the last weekend. Week one FCS

1023
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 3: teams went zero and sixty straight up. Now a lot

1024
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 3: of them are huge underdogs, but most seasons you see

1025
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,479
Speaker 3: a couple outright upsets in week one, especially against non

1026
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 3: Power five teams. So I think that gap is growing.

1027
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 3: North Dakota State is one of like, they're not as

1028
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 3: good as they were a couple of years ago, and

1029
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 3: that's part of it.

1030
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: I think you nailed it. I saw Kirby say, I

1031
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: think during training camp, he's like, our team's not as

1032
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: deep as it has been in years past. We're as good,

1033
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: but we're not as deep. And you look back to

1034
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: some of those great Alabama teams, some of the urban

1035
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State or Florida teams you couldn't transfer. So I

1036
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: had a guy, even if he wasn't playing, that would

1037
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: start on ninety nine percent of the other teams. And

1038
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: now these guys, let's face it, they get just dirty,

1039
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: recruited and called by their buddies through the coach and

1040
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: they leave. So you have but they go. I leave

1041
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: Georgia I still go to Ole Miss, right, I'm not.

1042
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: So it's bringing up those next teams Georgia, Alabama, right, Ohio,

1043
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: Michigan in theory are still better, but then that next

1044
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: group is closer, and then there's just the gap between

1045
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: that those first two tiers and everybody else. It's why

1046
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: when you look at the projected playoffs, it's gonna be

1047
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: the same teams over and over, and it's just gonna

1048
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: come down to you hit on the quarterback. And if

1049
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: you don't hit on the quarterback. Like to me, Clemson,

1050
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: their quarterback sucks. If I gave them Nico, they still

1051
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 1: lose to Georgia probably, but they look a lot better.

1052
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,959
Speaker 1: So you know, look at Nebraska, like we just talked about,

1053
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 1: they lost all these games by combining like fifteen points.

1054
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: Now they got a quarterback, they might win all those

1055
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: games and be nine and three or you know, it's

1056
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: like it's kind of become the NFL. Right, if I

1057
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 1: removed Daniel Jones, give them to Andy, and give Patrick

1058
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes to the Giants, I think we'd all picked the

1059
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: Giants to fucking make the playoffs, right, So it just

1060
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback play, which I would say most of our

1061
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 1: life in college football. Think how many great teams had

1062
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: guys that were never gonna sniff the NFL because you

1063
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 1: just have a loaded roster. Well, I think those days

1064
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 1: are kind of over. It's like, if we don't like Michigan, whye,

1065
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: quarterback play sucks. We've seen a lot of times teams

1066
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: go ten and two or eleven and one with bad

1067
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right in the nineties, in the two thousands, those

1068
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: days are over, I mean done.

1069
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And it's look at the point you

1070
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 3: bring up about Georgia like that can look at Kentucky,

1071
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 3: a team that's like on that step below. They're quarterback

1072
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 3: was a former five star who was the backup, didn't

1073
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 3: win the competition against Carson Beck, and now he transferred

1074
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 3: as starting for Kentucky. Now Kentucky, Georgia comes to Kentucky

1075
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 3: next week. Interesting storyline. They also had a starting linebacker,

1076
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 3: Dumus Johnson, was a potential All American who transferred to

1077
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 3: Kentucky in the offseason. Georgia has, you know, just awesome

1078
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 3: young linebackers and they were probably like, look, I can't

1079
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 3: guarantee that you're gonna start. So he said, all right,

1080
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go get paid and go start for Kentucky.

1081
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, those upper teams aren't like Georgia aren't as deep.

1082
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 3: And you know you mentioned quarterback play. That's the difference,

1083
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 3: and that might we'll see if what Howard can do

1084
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 3: at Ohio State, because maybe that ultimately holds him back

1085
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 3: from winning a national title. The quarterback play in the SEC,

1086
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 3: especially this year, is just on a different level than

1087
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 3: the rest of the rest of the conference is throughout

1088
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 3: the country, and that is probably the differentiator, Like the

1089
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 3: main thing if I had to look at all these

1090
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 3: different conferences in college football, like take the Big Ten

1091
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 3: and you know an allur look great and you have Gabriel,

1092
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 3: but the rest of the quarterback plays very underwhelming. Yes,

1093
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 3: you see there are a ton of wars. Yeah.

1094
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: When I look at the NFL board, you know Week

1095
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: one is always tough. We always get weirdness. It just

1096
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: feels like, how do you not hammer the underdogs historically?

1097
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: I know, you know the numbers, how do we how

1098
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: do we attack this? Just big picture, Yeah, I.

1099
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 3: Mean week week one, it's it's gonna be weird. There's

1100
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: also the new kickoff rules. You'll never know if like

1101
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 3: the NFL has new points of emphasis, and you know,

1102
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 3: they'll be like a huge uptick in one penalty type

1103
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 3: and a lot of times you just see that like

1104
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 3: really early on in the season. Then they kind of

1105
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 3: don't emphasize it as much later in the season. And

1106
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 3: just like in college football, there's there's roster turnover, there's

1107
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 3: coaching changes, so you'll see schematic differences, there's you know,

1108
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 3: and historically in recent seasons, unders have dominated so lower

1109
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 3: scoring games. I think part of that is like defenses

1110
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 3: are generally ahead of offenses early in the season, and

1111
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 3: more and more you don't see quarterbacks playing in preseason

1112
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 3: sometimes at all. And I think there's two matchups this

1113
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 3: week where neither quarterback played in the preseason Browns Cowboys

1114
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 3: and Rams lines And historically, if you look, there is

1115
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 3: just a little tip down in production right out of

1116
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 3: the gates in game one of quarterbacks who didn't play

1117
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 3: which in preseason, which makes sense, like it's here's your

1118
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 3: first game action, right, So unders and then yeah, underdogs

1119
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 3: historically have ruled the day. I mean, just to throw

1120
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 3: a couple of stats out of there, road underdogs in

1121
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 3: Week one that did not make the playoffs in the

1122
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 3: previous season, for example, Carolina, Tennessee Arizona ninety fifty nine

1123
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,959
Speaker 3: and five against the spread since two thousand and three,

1124
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:24,479
Speaker 3: and then divisional underdogs have just absolutely crushed it. Looking

1125
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 3: at Indianapolis Carolina again, thirty seven fifteen and one against

1126
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 3: the spread since twenty fourteen. That's over seventy percent, sixty

1127
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 3: percent over the past twenty season. So yeah, underdogs tend

1128
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 3: to be a bit undervalued. Teams aren't as bad as

1129
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 3: the market bought from the previous season, and unders have

1130
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 3: ruled the day. Doesn't guarantee future results, and you know,

1131
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 3: there's it's one week at small sample size, weirdness happens.

1132
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 3: It's it's the first week, so don't go crazy. But

1133
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 3: that's that tends to be my starting point of what

1134
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 3: I'm looking for is, Okay, what games are gonna be

1135
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: lower scoring and why, and which underdogs might be a

1136
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 3: bit undervalued, And that's kind of where I start. Like

1137
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: an under that I really liked, it's come down a bunch.

1138
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: But Cleveland Dallas, you look at those those two teams.

1139
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 3: Number One, it's gonna be outside. Dallas's offense not the

1140
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 3: same when they're not at home, and they're not a

1141
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 3: big front runner but they now have offensive line questions.

1142
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,959
Speaker 3: Their running back room is much worse. They have one

1143
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 3: really good receiver, but the Browns have three really good corners.

1144
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,919
Speaker 3: They can shade a safety over to Lamb play Man.

1145
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 3: Their other two cornerbacks besides Ward are awesome and Man,

1146
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 3: they can take away their other wide receivers a little

1147
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 3: bit to worry about the running game. And the Cowboys

1148
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 3: offensive line starting a rookie at left tackle going up

1149
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 3: against Garrett Questions at center. Other side Cleveland, I mean, Watson,

1150
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 3: what are you gonna get there? Yeah, I mean Dak

1151
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 3: and Watson haven't played in the preseason. Their offensive line

1152
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,919
Speaker 3: Will's and conkline. I'm not sure either even gonna play

1153
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 3: a tackle. So they have offensive line questions going up

1154
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 3: against a very good Dallas defensive front with their own

1155
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 3: running back issues due to injury. And you know you're

1156
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 3: gonna you could have wind to outside. So I think

1157
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 3: that will be throwing the potential quarterback Russ. That'll be

1158
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 3: a lower scoring game than the market assumes. I think

1159
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 3: both defenses can rule the day there, but yeah, unders

1160
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 3: and underdogs. It's generally where I slant toward in Week one.

1161
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: I like Dallas in that spot, mainly because I'm just

1162
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: so out on Watson, and like you said, not only

1163
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: has he not played, but unlike like Kyler didn't play,

1164
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: but Kyler's completely healthy, Watson didn't play because it's like

1165
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: he's had this kind of weird injury the rehab and

1166
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: they've kind of been, you know, kind of cloak and

1167
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: dagger about it, and now they're.

1168
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: Is he even fully healthy? It's very hot what's going

1169
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 3: on there?

1170
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's bizarre like Dak doesn't play because why

1171
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 1: would he. They wanted to get Trey Lance a million

1172
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: snaps Like I to me, if you just go, okay,

1173
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: Stefanski and McCarthy pretty pretty equal, cancel each other out.

1174
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a massive, massive advantage at quarterback the way

1175
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: I look at it coming in and you talked about

1176
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: the divisional games with underdogs, you know, Indy it obviously

1177
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: played them tight last year. I love the Texans this year.

1178
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I you know, CJ. Shroud MVP Texans, number one seed

1179
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Texas to win the division, Texans to win the conference.

1180
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: I think there's if you like him, you can go

1181
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: all in on a lot of different angles with them.

1182
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: But this game's in India. That places nuts. There's no

1183
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: coaching turnover, right, So I mean these teams have a

1184
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 1: good same thing with Carolina and the Saints. Again, I

1185
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: like the Saints this year to win that division four

1186
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: to one. But Canalis, while he's a new coach, he

1187
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: does come from the division. So last year he game

1188
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: planned against Ennis Allen's defense twice. So it's not like

1189
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: a non common opponent for a new coach, right. So

1190
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: that's because I've heard a lot of people and I

1191
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: would imagine you probably like Carolina three and a half.

1192
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: I think the numbers even come down, Like I think

1193
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: I looked three or four days ago, it's like four

1194
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: and a half, and now it's at three and a half.

1195
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: People are hammering Carolina. I don't like Carolina at all.

1196
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: Like if I had to bet on who's gonna get

1197
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the number one pick, I actually think they're right in

1198
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: the mix with the Pats. Now maybe it turned out

1199
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: the Pats are just worse, but it feels like a

1200
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna hammer Carolina in that game

1201
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: against the Saints. I would imagine that's especially for like

1202
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: the Sharps and the guys that truly bet. One of

1203
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: the higher bet games of the of the week one,

1204
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: don't you think.

1205
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree, but maybe you're right, and a

1206
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 3: really good year last year on the show.

1207
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the quarterback. It's the quarterback.

1208
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 3: He looks twice young Kenny Kenny be somewhat service Well

1209
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 3: that's the big question here. But yeah, I mean I

1210
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 3: do like Carolina. Shop around. There's still some fours out there.

1211
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 3: I need four or more. And you want to talk

1212
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 3: about just throw out some trends. Dennis Allen is a favorite,

1213
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 3: not gonna go his whole career eight and seventy eight

1214
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 3: and since the number but if if young is a

1215
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 3: disaster again and throws picks and pick sixes. But yeah,

1216
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 3: the reason I like Carolina is you look at both

1217
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 3: these both these teams last year, and I mean Carolina

1218
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 3: was obviously a mess. They never led in the fourth quarter.

1219
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't only know how that's impossible, I

1220
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 3: don't know if that's how that's possible when you win

1221
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 3: two games. But they won two games on the final

1222
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 3: play of without ever leading in the fourth quarter. So

1223
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 3: but they really did upgrade their offense from a staff perspective,

1224
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 3: to start off right, you're gonna stay were one of

1225
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 3: the lowest teams in the NFL in terms of both

1226
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 3: pre stop motion and play action, so you'll see much

1227
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 3: more both. That's what you need for a young quarterback

1228
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 3: who's obviously not Patrick Mahomes. You need to help them

1229
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 3: out with some pre stop motion. You need to help

1230
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 3: them out with play action, and you need to help

1231
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 3: him out by getting him outside the pocket. Boot him out.

1232
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 3: And because he's not he's not tall enough to sit

1233
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 3: in the pocket and throw against NFL defenses. So you're

1234
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 3: gonna see a lot more boots, jet sweep motion, a

1235
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 3: lot of the stuff the forty nine ers run, and

1236
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 3: you'll see a lot more like the forty nine ers

1237
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 3: motion play action. So all that will help young and

1238
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 3: he just can't be any worse than he was last year.

1239
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that's impossible, impossible. So year two, you'd expect

1240
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 3: just a little bump, experience bump, and the pieces around

1241
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 3: him did get better. You upgraded at center with Austin Corby,

1242
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 3: who was hurt last year, taken over for Bozeman. You

1243
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: brought into high profile guards. The guard position last year

1244
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 3: for Carolina was a disaster, the worst in years in

1245
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,439
Speaker 3: the NFL. Their guards were unplayable and now you bring

1246
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 3: in two guys who have been pretty good for a

1247
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 3: couple of years. So then and then if you don't

1248
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 3: have an intier offensive line with Bryce Young and how

1249
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 3: small is good luck and you already have two pretty

1250
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 3: good tackles. So the offensive line now is I think

1251
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 3: an above average unit. Last year it was just a

1252
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 3: disaster because they couldn't block anyone on the year weapon wise, Right,

1253
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 3: you go from feeling as you're one to like feeling

1254
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 3: as you're possible three now because you bring in Deontay Johnson,

1255
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 3: he drafts Zavier look at so the entire operation is

1256
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 3: better around him. Karlan of defense did get worse from

1257
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 3: a talent standpoint, but I like everro Fangio coaching tree

1258
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 3: more Cover three flavor, but kind of the same principles.

1259
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 3: I think he's a really good defensive coordinator. Will squeeze

1260
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 3: the most out of this this team. So yeah, they

1261
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 3: were very unlucky last year with injuries, turnovers, special teams,

1262
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 3: So there's some potential positive aggression and the Saints they

1263
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 3: do have a good defense. There are some injury concerns there,

1264
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 3: but to me and their offense also in fairness, will

1265
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 3: be better structured with Kubiak. They last year they were

1266
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 3: right with the Panthers. If you like, look at a

1267
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 3: chart of who was running play action and who was

1268
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 3: running pre styt motion. There's just one squad the bottom

1269
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: left where teams that we weren't doing it. It was the

1270
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 3: Saints and Panthers. So their offense will be much more

1271
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 3: structured and modern as well, which will obviously help, but

1272
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 3: it might take some time because what I'm worried about

1273
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 3: with the Saints is their offensive line. Well, I'm confident

1274
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 3: that the Panthers offensive line got much better. The Saints

1275
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 3: offensive line got worse, and cars just not the same quarterback.

1276
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 3: And you don't give the time he had clean pocket

1277
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 3: last year, top five quarterback in the NFL last year

1278
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 3: in passer rating. If he's under pressure, he's not the

1279
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,919
Speaker 3: most mobile guy. That's when the Saints offense gets into

1280
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 3: trouble and your ramcheck can't play. He's hurt, he lost Pete,

1281
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 3: you lost your swing tackle Hurst, and you're moving Penning

1282
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 3: to right tackle. You're starting a rookie at left tackle

1283
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 3: who played right tackle in college. James Patrick is one

1284
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 3: of the worst into your offensive linemen in the NFL

1285
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 3: is going to start at guard. The offensive line could

1286
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 3: really hold them back, so it might take some time

1287
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 3: to gel and fine a rookie left tack penning adjusting

1288
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 3: to the right. So maybe it'll it's gonna get better.

1289
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 3: We'll see how much better it can get. But I

1290
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 3: think they might struggle early on and then you're gonna see.

1291
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 3: I think Carolina have some new wrinkles and look better.

1292
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, I took the four with the divisional dog here.

1293
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 3: In terms of Houston, I completely agree with you. My

1294
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 3: own my only Super Bowl future. Last year I had

1295
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 3: I think Baltimore and then Buffalo. I bought it like

1296
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 3: fifty to one at their low point. Mahomes robbed me twice.

1297
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll rob me again in the playoffs. But

1298
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:37,759
Speaker 3: I think the only you need an elite quarterback who

1299
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 3: can beat moms in the playoffs. And you know, I

1300
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 3: think like it was Baltimore's chance last last year, and

1301
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 3: with Lamar, I think it was the Bills chance a

1302
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 3: couple of years ago and just couldn't get over the

1303
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 3: hump against Mahomes. But I think the Texans have that

1304
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 3: in strout. I think their defense also got much better

1305
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 3: and they're really well schooled. On that end, but some

1306
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 3: of the additions they brought in, and especially at the

1307
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 3: can just find a second corner, you know, whether it's

1308
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 3: if it's Lassiter to go across from Stingley. This defense

1309
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 3: could be really good. So you know they're going to

1310
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:10,560
Speaker 3: be good against the run. You know they're gonna be

1311
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 3: able to get pressure. And their wide receiver room now

1312
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,560
Speaker 3: is much better. So yeah, they are scary and I

1313
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 3: am only super Bowl future this year the and against

1314
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 3: the Colts. I you know, the cult secondary is what

1315
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 3: holds them back that you know, Jones and Brent's juju.

1316
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 3: Brent starting at corner across at safety, I mean good luck,

1317
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 3: you know, defending Stroud and those receivers, that's going to

1318
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 3: be problematic. I will say, you know, not my cup

1319
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 3: of tea laying points on the road in the divisional

1320
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 3: game to start the season. I will look to bet

1321
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 3: the Texans if they fall behind in that game, because

1322
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 3: they should be able to just come back at will

1323
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:56,520
Speaker 3: against that cult secondary.

1324
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Indoor fast track, that's the.

1325
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 3: Indoor fast track. It's art slow. Might look for a

1326
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 3: live over to Colt's gonna play really really fast. That's

1327
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 3: what they want to do. Super fast, especially with Richardson.

1328
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 3: Stich has always been a fast guy, but he's he's

1329
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 3: talked about, you know how much better Richardson is when

1330
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,879
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to process, just go, go, go, no huddle.

1331
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 3: And so I think there's gonna be a ton of speed.

1332
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 3: The pace in that game will be fast where the

1333
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 3: Texans there could be an opportunity to do just that

1334
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 3: because the Texans in the past have gotten in a

1335
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 3: little trouble early in games under slowick forty nine ers

1336
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 3: tree where he wants to run the ball too much

1337
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 3: and the Texans run games bad. It's amazing what Stroud

1338
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 3: did last year with an offensive line that was all hurt,

1339
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 3: the most injured offensive line in the NFL, and no

1340
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 3: running game. So we'll see if they can have with

1341
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 3: better offensive line health, if you know, with Mixon and others,

1342
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 3: if they can have a better run game. But he

1343
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 3: wants to run it too much early too often. That

1344
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 3: I think that's like his the Shanahan part of him,

1345
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 3: Like you don't have McCaffrey, like let Stroud go right

1346
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 3: off the bat. So sometimes the Texans come out and

1347
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 3: they're they start slow and they're running in if there's

1348
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 3: no offense and then they'll get behind him to be like,

1349
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 3: oh yeah we have C. J. Stroud. Let's just throw

1350
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 3: it early downs too. So yeah, if they fall behind

1351
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 3: here where if this game starts slow, could look for

1352
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 3: the Texas live or live over.

1353
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: I think the Colts. I said this yesterday. The Colts

1354
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: and the Bears are my biggest wild cards this year,

1355
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 1: and the Colts specifically, like obviously Richardson's talent and there's

1356
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 1: to me two questions. One case they healthy obviously, and

1357
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: you watch him in that preseason like what Shane was

1358
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: able to do with Jalen. Jalen doesn't throw as hard,

1359
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: so he has a little more touch on like dumpoffs.

1360
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: It's hard for Anthony Richardson to not throw you know,

1361
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson fastballs, and the balls just kind of fly

1362
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 1: and if they overthrow, you know, it gets tipped and picked.

1363
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some of just atrocious games where he

1364
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: throws three picks this year, but he also could have

1365
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: games where he accounts for five touchdowns. Right, So it's

1366
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: just to me, I don't know, I mean love, I

1367
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: was like, should I pick him to win the division?

1368
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: I watched the preseason, like, well, I'm overthinking this one.

1369
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: I think they could be good, but he's going to

1370
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 1: be Shane's gonna earn his salary this year coaching that

1371
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: guy because it could go really well, but it's gonna

1372
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: be difficult. Where this is where I like CJ and

1373
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: just big picture if you like him to compete with

1374
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Like the problem with Lamar is he got

1375
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: so much better last year throwing within the pocket, and

1376
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: then he freaked out in that Chiefs game and he's

1377
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: just like he was uncomfortable, where Josh has had a

1378
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of success. Obviously Monkin should have ran him more

1379
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: in that game against the Chiefs, but like Josh has

1380
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: made a lot of throws within the pocket against the

1381
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs and big games, his defense has let him down

1382
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: at spots where it's like that's CJ's game, Now, can't

1383
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: he do it in January against Chiefs. He'll have to

1384
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 1: prove it, but like that's how he plays. So it's yeah,

1385
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you're right. I mean, that's three points

1386
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: favorite on the road against you know, a division rival's

1387
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: tough spot, but that's that's one of the better games

1388
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: on Saturday.

1389
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 3: To me.

1390
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: I just look at all these underdogs, like the Cards,

1391
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: against the Bills. You know, I look this morning, it

1392
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: was six and a half. That's a game where how

1393
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 1: do you prepare for Kyler during practice? You can't, right, So, Like,

1394
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Cards are gonna win more

1395
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: than five or six games this year, but they're gonna

1396
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: have some serious upsets along the way because they have

1397
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: to be one of the better teams that's probably gonna

1398
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: finish fourth in their division. In the NF they're probably

1399
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: the best, and mainly because of him, and we saw

1400
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: him last year when he gets on that fucking heater,

1401
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: like it's just to me an easy one. Maybe they're

1402
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: down twelve points or thirteen points in the fourth quarter

1403
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: and he just does some shit. I like the Cards

1404
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot here, and I'm a Buffalo fan this year,

1405
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: Like I think the Bills pick them to win the

1406
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: division or whatever. But I could see this game being

1407
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: like tied in the fourth quarter, especially the weather's good.

1408
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: It's like he's used to playing the heat. He lives

1409
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,440
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I don't know how hot it is in Buffalo,

1410
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: But I love the Cards. Anything over six, honestly, six

1411
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 1: and a half out of it.

1412
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 3: Look this morning, Yeah, if you can get a seven.

1413
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 3: Don't mind that.

1414
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: I think it could be seven by kickoff or probably not.

1415
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 3: It could. It might get there and then like anytime,

1416
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 3: you gotta be watching, Like anytime it gets there, it's

1417
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 3: gonna be picked off in the market and then it'll

1418
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 3: come back down. But maybe you can get like a

1419
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 3: juiced more expensive seven. At one point, I'm struggling with

1420
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 3: this game. I do think Arizona will be much better.

1421
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 3: You bring in Marvin Harrison. Greg Dortch is my guy's

1422
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 3: been my guy since Wake Forest. The offense is gonna

1423
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 3: be good. The defense, I love what they're doing schematically,

1424
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 3: and they run some of this nine spacing quarters stuff

1425
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,719
Speaker 3: and they're running some very modern things on that defense.

1426
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 3: But they just don't have a lot of talent. Let's

1427
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 3: face it. The defense is there's only so much you

1428
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 3: can do there. It's it's the secondaries. The upside would

1429
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 3: be the scheme is good, and then you need like

1430
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 3: the rookie Melton to hit at corner the second year

1431
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 3: other corner out of QC. Need him to take the

1432
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 3: next step in the Murphy bunting to have a rebound year,

1433
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 3: and then you know, if you if you get all

1434
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 3: that to happen. It's asking a lot at the cornerback position,

1435
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 3: but a lot of variants at that position. You know,

1436
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,799
Speaker 3: that'll help if you can cover guys in space, because

1437
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 3: right now, on paper, you know, I mean, the safeties

1438
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 3: aren't bad. So if you get the corners to step up,

1439
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 3: you might be Okay, you're not gonna be a good defense,

1440
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 3: but not bottom of the barrel. That's what I would

1441
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 3: worry about there. But I'm just struggling to determine how

1442
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 3: the Bills are going to play this out. Last year

1443
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,719
Speaker 3: they became super run heavy, and you know, they lost Diggs,

1444
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 3: but like Diggs was falling out of what what they

1445
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 3: were even doing. You would watch the Bills game like,

1446
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 3: why is Diggs not in on this third and eighth?

1447
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: He's on the sidelines. It'd happened constantly, and they went

1448
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 3: super run heavy after they made the offensive coordinator changed

1449
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 3: to Brady, And so I struggled to say, Okay, what

1450
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 3: is what is buff going to do here? Because they

1451
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 3: should have successes going BULLI ball with their backs with

1452
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 3: Alan against Arizona, and in that case, like you probably

1453
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 3: want the underdog. You probably want the under but they

1454
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 3: have a bunch of new pieces at receiver and how

1455
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 3: is this all going to work the passing game? Do

1456
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 3: they want to work on that because this would be

1457
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 3: a good team to work on that against. But maybe

1458
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 3: you don't want to show anything. So I'm getting good.

1459
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: They they play next Thursday, right against my next.

1460
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 3: Thursday, and four of their next five games are on

1461
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 3: the road against the Texans, the Jets, the Dolphins, and

1462
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 3: the Ravens. I mean, there's your chance to potentially lose

1463
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 3: the one seed, your AFC playoff hopes, your division hopes.

1464
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 3: I mean, those are four of the better teams in

1465
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 3: the FC. You face them all on the road in

1466
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 3: the first six weeks. So do you not want to

1467
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 3: show anything or do you need to work the kinks

1468
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 3: out and let Alan try to come out here and

1469
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 3: air it out. I don't know. So I do think

1470
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 3: that the Bills defense will take a significant step back.

1471
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 3: They have two really good defensive ends in who are

1472
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 3: going to be asked to step up in Russo and Epinez.

1473
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 3: So their interior defensive line is good as well with

1474
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 3: Jones and Oliver. So can von Miller give them anything?

1475
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 3: To the depth perspective, the depth on this team is

1476
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 3: really bad, but they need their defensive ends to hit

1477
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 3: and their corners are good. They need their corners to

1478
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 3: play really well and not get hurt. The depth again

1479
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 3: very questionable there because they lost both of their safeties,

1480
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 3: mainstays of that defense were really important in that McDermott

1481
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 3: defense that he just those safeties have provided him with

1482
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 3: so much flexibility and what he could do, similar to

1483
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 3: what happened with Cincinnati last year. They lost both of

1484
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 3: their mainstay safeties and their defense fell off a cliff.

1485
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 3: There was communication busts, They allowed too many explosive plays

1486
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 3: that could happen here as well. Week one, you're starting Tamorrow,

1487
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 3: Hamlin and Taylor rapid safety. That's a big downgrade to

1488
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 3: what Buffalo has had, so not as much flexibility, probably

1489
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 3: a lot both those guys are. They played better coming downhill,

1490
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 3: not as good in coverage going backwards. And then you

1491
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 3: lost your quarterback of your defense and Matt Mulano to injury,

1492
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 3: and you're gonna be relying on Dorian Williams Moore, second

1493
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 3: year player out of Tulane and struggled at times when

1494
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 3: he's had to play. So you know that middle of

1495
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 3: the defense, uh on the back end got significantly worse,

1496
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 3: and that's gonna kind of handcuff McDermott and his zone

1497
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 3: heavy Jim Johnson disciple, his defense and what he can do.

1498
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 3: So I think that there will be opportunities for Arizona

1499
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 3: to hit some explosive plays here and for Kyler to have,

1500
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 3: you know, to use his legs have a big day

1501
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 3: when Buffalo actually does generate pressure, because that's gonna be

1502
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 3: their best recipe for success. But I do think the

1503
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 3: Buffalo defense does take a step back. But I just

1504
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 3: don't know how Buffalo is gonna play this out. So

1505
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 3: I don't mind your take on playing Arizona as a

1506
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 3: dog here in Week one, but I might sit this

1507
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 3: one out.

1508
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand the line being big because Buffalo

1509
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 1: has been a consistent power and obvious have been bad.

1510
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: This one, to me jumped out. Now. I'm sure you've

1511
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: got stats about rookie quarterbacks week one, but Seattle, who

1512
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: feels like it's being treated like they're Buffalo or forty

1513
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: nine ers or the Rams or something getting six points

1514
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: at home like Denver wasn't a four or five win

1515
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 1: team last year they won a games, and again rookie

1516
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,879
Speaker 1: quarterback the twelves. But Seattle has been a shell of itself.

1517
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: Right the home quote unquote home field advantage post like

1518
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: the peak of the yellowb Russell Wilson run. My first

1519
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: reaction when I saw this line earlier in the week,

1520
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: and again, I'm someone that likes Denver this week was

1521
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: hammered Denver. But I know you had some thoughts on

1522
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: this game. I just like, here's my thing with Seattle.

1523
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Everyone a lot of people are high on them because

1524
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald was a stud you never know how it got.

1525
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of great coordinators. Being a head

1526
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: coach is completely different one. And too, they have been

1527
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: winning nine games, so even if he improves their defense,

1528
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: like what are they gonna do? Go to eleven twelve

1529
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 1: win team would because their quarterback ultimately is not a

1530
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: top fifteen guy. He's solid, but he has a lot

1531
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: of moments like I've seen him lose five straight games

1532
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: with forty nine ers and look shitty. So when he

1533
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: plays good teams like I don't necessarily trust him. So

1534
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: i I'm not anti Seattle, Like, clearly they have a

1535
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent. Everyone's high on Byron Murphy and it's

1536
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 1: impossible to not like if Mike McDonald was had been

1537
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, we'd be talking about him like Kyle

1538
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: Sean McVay, shange psychin right. But when you're a defensive guy,

1539
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 1: we just kind of at least I do, you know,

1540
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 1: kind of take a wait and see approach. I don't know, man,

1541
01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: I just think Sean Payton verst Mike McDonald the first

1542
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: time head coach, but he also has a rookie quarterback.

1543
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: I like Denver in this spot. What say you?

1544
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be against here, but I can see the

1545
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 3: case for taking.

1546
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 1: You like you like laying you know, close to a touchdown?

1547
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I laid five and a half little

1548
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 3: dice here at six. But I look, I just think

1549
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 3: I've seen firsthand as a Ravens fan what McDonald did,

1550
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 3: and you're right to question how well he translated to

1551
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 3: a head coach is completely different running the whole operation.

1552
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 3: But what I do know and seeing firsthand is his

1553
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 3: game plans. Number one. Not only was this defensive scheme

1554
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 3: so good and so fluid, his game plans on a

1555
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 3: week to week basis, you know, and I track all

1556
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 3: this stuff. They're coverages, could there was no trend. It's

1557
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 3: like what they were running something different every week. It's

1558
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 3: the opposite of the Colts. And you know, Gus Bradley's

1559
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 3: still running his old static cover three defense he knew

1560
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 3: we were going to get. McDonald was different every week,

1561
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 3: completely unique and tailored to the opponent and quarterback that

1562
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 3: he was facing, which makes it difficult for offensive coordinators

1563
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 3: to prepare for and confuses opposing quarterbacks. And it's one

1564
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 3: of the reasons we saw the Ravens first team in

1565
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 3: modern NFL history to lead the league in points, allow, takeaways,

1566
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 3: end sacks. And it's not like they had a ton

1567
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:03,759
Speaker 3: of guys.

1568
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: You know.

1569
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 3: That's a tough task for a So whatever you want to, however,

1570
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 3: will be successful as the head coach TBD. But what

1571
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 3: I do know is their defensive game plan and their

1572
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 3: scheme and their preparation for this for Week one, you know,

1573
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 3: is going to be elite and their defense is going

1574
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 3: to be ready, and it's going to be a very

1575
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 3: tough task for Nicks. Who I you know, I'm sure

1576
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 3: Peyton's probably gonna have kids, you know, treat them with

1577
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 3: kids gloves here, But I think he's ultimately going to

1578
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 3: make a mistake or two and that'll lead to this

1579
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 3: game getting a bit out of hand. It's look, rookie

1580
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 3: quarterbacks historically have not fared well on the road in

1581
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 3: Week one. I think their teams have averaged about eighteen

1582
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 3: points per game. And the last rookie quarterback to win

1583
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 3: on the road, either straight up or against the spread,

1584
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,799
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold back in UH seven team twenty eighteen.

1585
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: Where in that game?

1586
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? No? No? Where quarterbacks one on the road

1587
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 3: in Week one since? So you know, Gino I still

1588
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 3: don't fully trust, but this isn't a defense where I'm

1589
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 3: too worried about him, and some of the stuff that

1590
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 3: they run doesn't worry me about what Gino struggles with

1591
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 3: the It's not Denver has an elite defensive line, and

1592
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 3: the biggest question mark on Seattle is their offensive line.

1593
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,719
Speaker 3: We'll see if Connor Williams is ready to go at center,

1594
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 3: but they have some questions almost at every other position

1595
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 3: due to some injuries and some departures. So we'll see

1596
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 3: how that offensive line comes together. But not too worried

1597
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 3: about it against Denver outside of certain there's some holes

1598
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 3: in this Denver secondary, and obviously have a lot of

1599
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 3: talented weapons on this Seattle team, So I think they'll

1600
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 3: be able to score, move the ball, and I think

1601
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 3: Nicks and his first road start will make a critical

1602
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 3: mistake or two that'll be the difference. Seattle at home.

1603
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 3: In look in their homefield hasn't been the same because

1604
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 3: I haven't been the same caliber team, but early in

1605
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 3: the season, it's still one of the best home field

1606
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 3: advantages in the entire NFL. I think past twenty years,

1607
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 3: month of September they're twenty three and nine against the spread.

1608
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 3: Don't quote me on that. It's somewhere in that ballpark

1609
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 3: at home. It's in the month of September. That's there.

1610
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 3: The most profitable team in the NFL and at home

1611
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 3: overall about fifty eight percent against the spread over the

1612
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 3: past twenty years. So I just think it's a tall

1613
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 3: task for Knicks, who does fit the Peyton offense, and

1614
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 3: Peyton will get it figured out. But yeah, I can

1615
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:37,799
Speaker 3: see the case for Denver too. It's hey, look, Seattle,

1616
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 3: it's too expensive here. Peyton is an underdog. Maybe we're

1617
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 3: giving McDonald too much credit, but I expect that defense

1618
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:46,680
Speaker 3: to be ready and wearing to go.

1619
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: It's funny you look at some of these matchups, like

1620
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: if this was week six, you'd be like, I don't

1621
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,679
Speaker 1: really care, but like JAG's Miami tight in Chicago, pitt Atlanta.

1622
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: It's just like, I'm fired up. I don't know what

1623
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: it's going to look like. I would imagine two or

1624
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: three of the those two out of three of those

1625
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: games are just weird at moments in the game, right.

1626
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know which ones, but I I kind of

1627
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: like the Titans plus three and a half the Jags, Like,

1628
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: obviously a big advantage for Miami is always the humidity. Well,

1629
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville obviously is humid two, So it's like that that's

1630
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: kind of neutralizes and pitt Atlanta. Everyone's been slurping Atlanta

1631
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: and everyone's writing off Pittsburgh. I usually just if you

1632
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 1: just fade the public, you just kind of bet against that.

1633
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 1: I know you were. You were fired up and hot

1634
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Giants game. This another game. If it

1635
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: was like Week eight, might not even get a slot

1636
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,600
Speaker 1: in the four box. But because it's Week one, you

1637
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: gotta pay attention.

1638
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, every game to me is a treaty, like and

1639
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 3: Danna fout. There's so much parody and I just enjoy

1640
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 3: every Sunday and then and then at the end, it

1641
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,719
Speaker 3: doesn't matter because then Mahomes just wins the super Bowl.

1642
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 3: But leading up to that point it's fun. And and

1643
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 3: then if you're a Chiefs fan, you get to enjoy

1644
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 3: the parody all year end and the Super Bowl, so

1645
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 3: you get the best of both worlds. But I yeah,

1646
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 3: all these games are great. I mean, Steelers, you got

1647
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 3: to mention Tom and as a dog. He's the most

1648
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 3: profitable coach as an underdog against the spread in NFL history.

1649
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 3: The interesting thing there is you have the Art Smith factor.

1650
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:18,879
Speaker 3: Art Smith left Atlanta, and so I think by getting

1651
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,799
Speaker 3: rid of Art Smith, Atlanta upgraded their offensive coordinator position.

1652
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 3: But by getting Art Smith, Pittsburgh also upgraded their offensive

1653
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 3: coordator position because that's how bad Mac Canada was. And

1654
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 3: then they'll face off each other, uh, face off against

1655
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,480
Speaker 3: each other in Week one. Steelers offensive lines of mess injuries,

1656
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: so that's could hold them back here in Week one.

1657
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 3: And yeah, every game to me has has jury. Jacksonville Miami.

1658
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 3: Who's who's gonna get stops in that game? Miami? You

1659
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 3: know they don't have Chubb and Phillips yet there are

1660
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:53,719
Speaker 3: some other injuries on that defense.

1661
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: Ramsey's a question mark.

1662
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're so I don't think they're gonna to

1663
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 3: get pressure. That's how you have to you have to

1664
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 3: get to Lawrence to throw them all. How I don't

1665
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 3: know how they're gonna get stops. I also don't know

1666
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 3: Jacksonville going to a new defense, more man heavy, how

1667
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 3: are their corners gonna stick with Miamis. There's some questions

1668
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 3: in the Miami offensive line. But two is just gonna

1669
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 3: get rid of the ball really quick. I mean, actually

1670
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 3: be a back and board game, just you can live

1671
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 3: bet the live bet the chaser in that game over

1672
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 3: his down, He's gonna be able to score and come back.

1673
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 3: Should be a really fun one to watch. But yeah,

1674
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 3: I would I would lean Jacksonville at the points. Also

1675
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee with the points, I think you could still find

1676
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 3: a four out there. Uh Tennessee. I think really improved

1677
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:34,600
Speaker 3: their roster, cornerback spot run in some veteran safeties. I

1678
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 3: think trade trade Burt h Ernst Jones was an underrated

1679
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:42,679
Speaker 3: move linebacker was one of their position of weaknesses. Levis

1680
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 3: now have a better offensive line. You know, you get

1681
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,640
Speaker 3: Callahan in there, really good coach, and I think you

1682
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 3: upgraded the group overall. So I think you got to

1683
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 3: take the points there. Caleb Williams still an unknown. I

1684
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be great, but still some uncertainty there.

1685
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 3: And yeah, Minnesota probably my scariest pick of the week

1686
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 3: one as I that Minnesota money line on the road

1687
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 3: is a small favorite. Sam Darnell on the road as

1688
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 3: a favorite. What could go wrong? That was one where

1689
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 3: I had to go like this and before I hit

1690
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 3: submit your value. Guy, Yeah, I just when I look

1691
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 3: at these Number one, I I hold Kevin O'Connell in

1692
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 3: high regard from I think he's one of the best leaders.

1693
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,879
Speaker 3: I put Shanahan up there too, Like Shanahan and O'Connell

1694
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,799
Speaker 3: are very similar to me. They're both great schemers, play callers,

1695
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 3: and then great like just overall.

1696
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: Leaders players like them.

1697
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, because basic cliches that sounds, but I just like

1698
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 3: you'll see O'Connell w and someone like you. Look at

1699
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 3: the situation you had last year. That quarterback once Cousins

1700
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 3: went down, was bleak and they were still in games

1701
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 3: every week, and what he was able to do with

1702
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 3: that with those rotating cast of characters at quarterback was amazing.

1703
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 3: Then they would make a mistake and you would see

1704
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 3: him on the side like it's okay, And he's one

1705
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 3: of the best leaders of men in the NFL. So

1706
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 3: I think they'll be ready here. Like Donald, you could

1707
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 3: argue an upgrade over what they had last year after

1708
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 3: Cousins went down, and maybe we see him just play

1709
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,680
Speaker 3: a little better. He has experience already. He got to

1710
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 3: work under Shannan apparently, like they improved his footwork, and

1711
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 3: now you get to work under O'Connor. He's going to

1712
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 3: make things easy for you. And this is the best

1713
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 3: situation as a starter that Donald's ever been in. He's

1714
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 3: been in some bad situations. You got a good, good

1715
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 3: play caller. Now you have Aaron Jones. You have one

1716
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 3: of the best tackle duos in the NFL, and you

1717
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 3: have Addison and Jefferson on the outside going up and

1718
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:42,720
Speaker 3: in Week one, specificly, you're going up against one of

1719
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 3: the worst secondaries in the NFL. This secondary is bad.

1720
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're going to cover Jefferson and Addison,

1721
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 3: who looks like he's going to play. That's big. And

1722
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 3: then you can kind of rely on Aaron Jones not

1723
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 3: only in the run game, but out of the backfield

1724
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 3: as well. The only thing I would worry about a

1725
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 3: little bit is their center Bradbury going up against Dexter Lawrence.

1726
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 3: He could wreck this game and wreck Donald and cause

1727
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 3: a mistake. That's what happened in the playoff game when

1728
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 3: these two teams met a couple of years ago, when

1729
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:09,439
Speaker 3: the Giants upset the Vikings. Dexter Lawrence ruined the game

1730
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 3: for the Vikings, just completely dominant. But on the other side,

1731
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 3: what is you have Brian Flores too, So I just

1732
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 3: really loved this Viking staff. They're gonna squeeze everything they

1733
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 3: can out of this team. Brian Flores, what is he

1734
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 3: gonna do? He's gonna have some crazy schemes cooked up

1735
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 3: for this one. But he's gonna blitz Daniel Jones. He

1736
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 3: blitzed at the highest rate in the NFL last year,

1737
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,400
Speaker 3: even more than Winke Martindale, who was the Giants defensive coordinator.

1738
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:35,759
Speaker 3: He blitz I think fifty two to fifty three percent

1739
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 3: of the time. This Giants offensive line still unsettled. Daniel

1740
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 3: Jones against the blitz last year was a disaster. He

1741
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,720
Speaker 3: was ranked forty sixth out of forty six quarterbacks with

1742
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 3: a minimum one hundred snaps zero big time throws six

1743
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 3: turnover worthy plays, dead last and beyond even Mac Jones

1744
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 3: in passer rating against the blitz it was bad. And

1745
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,839
Speaker 3: they're gonna blitz incessantly against this offensive line, bring pressure

1746
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 3: from everywhere. Maybe neighbors can have just go completely off.

1747
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 3: But at least Minnesota their secondary is still not great,

1748
01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 3: but they got cerebral safeties. And now you have some veterans.

1749
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 3: And I thought it was really smart to bring in

1750
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 3: Gilmore veterans at corner, so you know they're at least

1751
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 3: going to be in the right place. You know, maybe

1752
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 3: they're a little older and over the hill, but I

1753
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:22,200
Speaker 3: think it'll provide floors, if even more flexibility to trust

1754
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 3: the secondary, which I think is better than last year.

1755
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 3: Was really bad last year. And I just look at

1756
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 3: and I just look at these rosters. Where are you

1757
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,679
Speaker 3: so confident the Giants are better? Right, offensive line, Vikings

1758
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:37,439
Speaker 3: are better running back. There's no Barkley there anymore. It's

1759
01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 3: going to be even easier to defend this Giants offense.

1760
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 3: Running Back Bikings better, wide receiver. Vikings are better. On

1761
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 3: the defensive side, I secondary Bikings are better linebacker, probably

1762
01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,800
Speaker 3: washed one position's defensive line. You take the defensive line

1763
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,759
Speaker 3: for the Giants. That's the strength of their team. Arguably.

1764
01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 3: The good thing is that the Vikings and with O'Neill

1765
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:00,600
Speaker 3: and Darsel, have one of the better tackle do in

1766
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 3: the NFL if they can just protect in the interior.

1767
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 3: I think Minnesota wins this game, but it's it'll it'll

1768
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 3: it'll be a weird one. It'll be Donald or or

1769
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 3: Jones making a critical mistake late that swings the game.

1770
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 3: But I did play uh some Minnesota late and uh,

1771
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 3: sorry to your.

1772
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 1: Producer, absolutely love it. Well, I think the Giants are

1773
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: in for a long year and uh, well, stucky we're here.

1774
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: We finally fucking made it. It's been a long time.

1775
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 3: But I got to ask you before you go, do

1776
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 3: you have you have thirty second thoughts on your forty

1777
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 3: nine ers or do you have another show where you'll

1778
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 3: talk about that before you have to? No?

1779
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I I mean I feel pretty good. I

1780
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: mean a son, Reddick's just gonna hold out for the

1781
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,680
Speaker 1: entire season. Pul Levy on Bell, Uh just like him

1782
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:45,640
Speaker 1: at home? You know that number? Was it four and

1783
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 1: a half? I like them this, I mean who A

1784
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:50,320
Speaker 1: bunch of people.

1785
01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:52,720
Speaker 3: Played some early Jets. I played some early Jets. Was

1786
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:58,760
Speaker 3: hoping that Williams and wouldn't be ready or sign yet.

1787
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:00,600
Speaker 3: I figure they would get it done. I maybe he

1788
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 3: could have gotten traded, but I thought Williams might not

1789
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:06,479
Speaker 3: be ready week one or maybe signed right away and

1790
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 3: then start week two. Obviously that didn't work out. And

1791
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 3: then suggests with Reddick you mentioned it. No Reddick, no

1792
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 3: Franklin Myers, so that defensive line maybe not the same.

1793
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 3: So I do regret it, but go ahead. I'm sorry.

1794
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I think it. The way it

1795
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 1: turned out is both you admitted the other day like, yeah,

1796
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I made this harder than it needed to be. He

1797
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 1: never wanted to leave right because they had trade options

1798
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:32,759
Speaker 1: up the wazoo, and he kept saying no, and Trent,

1799
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:35,599
Speaker 1: I think is kind of like the Michael Strahan point,

1800
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 1: like I'm not a big training camp guy. I'll do

1801
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: my own thing. Obviously he wanted more money, but like

1802
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: I think he was cool. Always knew that. I mean

1803
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 1: him and Kyle. He even said like me and Kyle

1804
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 1: is like we're like brothers. I mean, their relationships is

1805
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: pretty unique. Now relative to football shape, he physically looks normal,

1806
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:57,640
Speaker 1: but like his Cardio. Week one the Jets, there's a

1807
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 1: kitchen sink game for them. But you talked about McDonald.

1808
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 1: You talk about any good coach andy an entire offseason

1809
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 1: to get ready, especially Kyle knows Robert solid pretty well.

1810
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 3: Defense.

1811
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 1: This is where you know Perty's had an entire offseason.

1812
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Last year he didn't. Deebos had a great training camp.

1813
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, Christian McCaffrey said, like three weeks ago if

1814
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: there was a game he could have played. I mean,

1815
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 1: they treat their star players pretty like training Camp's not

1816
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 1: very difficult for him. I think a lot of people

1817
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 1: were freaking out about Christian McCaffrey, like he'll be fine

1818
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:34,599
Speaker 1: now whether he could sustain fine in terms of injuries,

1819
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,640
Speaker 1: but I think week one he'll be fully ready to go.

1820
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: I think their defense is gonna be good. You know,

1821
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: their secondary Leonor has had a huge camp and offseason,

1822
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 1: like and he was good toward the end of the year,

1823
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:48,200
Speaker 1: so you put him with Ward. They got two good corners.

1824
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,760
Speaker 1: They go like four deep at safety. They're missing green

1825
01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: Law but Fred, I mean, how many teams have just

1826
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 1: a better one linebacker than him? I mean the only

1827
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: team like Rokwan Smith, like he's easily one of the

1828
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:02,719
Speaker 1: best so to me, their ability, their speed on defense,

1829
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 1: and just all the question marks with the Jets. I

1830
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: mean they hit a little adversity, you know. I just

1831
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: think the forty nine ers are eleven twelve win team

1832
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: and just relative to health how they go into the playoffs.

1833
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 1: But I think we see a lot like last.

1834
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 3: Year with them. They're deep.

1835
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Pierce all if he shakes off this

1836
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: chest shooting, but once he eventually comes back, gives them

1837
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: even more depth at wide receiver. Jordan Mason, their backup

1838
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:29,000
Speaker 1: running back, I think is a pretty good player. Kyle

1839
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: was always hesitant to play him, but now that he's

1840
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,240
Speaker 1: proving he catch the ball a little bit. Yeah, I

1841
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 1: just I think they're gonna be good. I mean, I said,

1842
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: the one question mark when they get in some of

1843
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 1: these tight games. You know, like the one thing the

1844
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,679
Speaker 1: Ravens have or the Chiefs have is their kickers very reliable.

1845
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:44,040
Speaker 3: You know.

1846
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: Moo Moody was a little bit of a roller coaster,

1847
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: so like you just need to be able to rely

1848
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 1: when you're when you're a you know, a top team

1849
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: on your kicker because their punter's good. But like if

1850
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:56,720
Speaker 1: he can prove he can kick field goals, which last

1851
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 1: year he was kind of up and down. I think

1852
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be what they've been the last couple of years.

1853
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: Fucking good. Yeah.

1854
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 3: The I I would say Devondre Campbell, by the way,

1855
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 3: I think was an underrated sign of he knows the

1856
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,160
Speaker 3: defense too. He knows this scheme, so it's not like

1857
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 3: a big learning curve. So I also, I'm thinks for

1858
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:18,760
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, by the way, one of the reasons

1859
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:20,760
Speaker 3: I bet the Jets earlier because if I's not there,

1860
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 3: it's just not the same team without him for sure,

1861
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 3: and and without Williams it's bad because the offensive line

1862
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 3: then would be a huge weakness, like going from having

1863
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 3: the best left tackle in the NFL to not, and

1864
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,040
Speaker 3: then the rest of the offensive line is also a weakness.

1865
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 3: It's a whole different story for party. So obviously you

1866
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:42,759
Speaker 3: need those two guys that familiarity with you know, Sala

1867
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 3: is actually obviously key too. And then the two big

1868
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:46,360
Speaker 3: things that I'm watching for in this game, and then

1869
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 3: the we mentioned the Falcons game earlier. Cousins hasn't played

1870
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 3: since his injury, Rogers hasn't played since his injury. When

1871
01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 3: is Rogers gonna fall off? How rusty will he be?

1872
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,839
Speaker 3: How we look in week one, how that offensive line,

1873
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 3: that reworked offensive line, you know, look in Week one

1874
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,600
Speaker 3: against that pass rush. Major questions. But one of the

1875
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 3: one of the things that I'm really looking for with

1876
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers and when in the super Bowl,

1877
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 3: the reason I only played the forty nine ers in

1878
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 3: the first half, well not only because I was afraid

1879
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 3: of Patrick Mahomes, but I was afraid of the adjustments. So, like,

1880
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 3: what can sorts in their new defensive coordinator do? I

1881
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 3: thought that was like a really weak area last year

1882
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 3: where you know, when San fram was in games against

1883
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 3: good competition, they really wouldn't make many adjustments. They're just

1884
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 3: very static on defense. So I want to see what

1885
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 3: he does. And one of the just very in the weeds,

1886
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 3: but what is the Brandon Staley influence going to be

1887
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 3: on this defense? They are one eighty as far as

1888
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 3: philosophical like and how they approach defenses in the scheme

1889
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 3: that they run. So if he can just manage okay,

1890
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 3: you know, Staley gives him some good intel. I think

1891
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 3: Staley's still there. I think he's boring, like an advisor

1892
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:01,639
Speaker 3: to him.

1893
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,679
Speaker 1: You know, he's like an assistant head coach. He's working

1894
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 1: with the DBS.

1895
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. So but if he can, like I think his voice,

1896
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 3: can he like, you know, help with those adjustments and

1897
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 3: then bringing some more variety to this forty nine Ers

1898
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:16,800
Speaker 3: defense that was you know, it's pretty static. It's like, hey,

1899
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna win up front, We're gonna play our coverages

1900
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 3: on the back end. So there's some upside with the

1901
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 3: staff changes on this defense, especially like with in game

1902
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 3: adjustments and in the second half when you're playing those uh,

1903
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:29,599
Speaker 3: you know, top tier teams.

1904
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 1: I think one issue they had last year is the

1905
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 1: players turned on him. Fred and Bosa, they did not

1906
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 1: like Wilkes. And I think one thing they had with

1907
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 1: Sala and Demiico is they had such great communication because

1908
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: remember Wilkes was up top and they moved him down

1909
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 1: and they just they just Leonor told Richard Sherman like

1910
01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: I told him going into the Super Bowl, these this

1911
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 1: team does not throw outside the numbers, Let me play Nickel,

1912
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: let me play inside so we can handle And he's

1913
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 1: like he wouldn't listen to him, and sure THEMS like

1914
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: in situations like that just go to Kyle. But I

1915
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 1: don't think, like with the coach that they've had, Sorenston's

1916
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 1: been on the staff the whole time. Their communication now,

1917
01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: whether he can scheme on a weekly basis at the

1918
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,360
Speaker 1: highest level, because that's what the forty nine are trying

1919
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 1: to do, like beat.

1920
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:11,679
Speaker 3: The top teams.

1921
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:14,479
Speaker 1: Time will tell, but I think working with it, like

1922
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: the forty nineers have a smart team of players, and

1923
01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 1: getting Trent back like he's kind of their heartbeat, like

1924
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: he's the guy that leads them out, like you're gonna

1925
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: fuck with us, You're fucking with me, and so that's

1926
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: a big deal to have him back. And I really

1927
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 1: think I think their secondary is gonna be awesome, and

1928
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 1: their defensive line is not as good as it was

1929
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 1: in like nineteen when they went like four deep with

1930
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, elite guys, but if your back ends a

1931
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: little better, it can help that out a little bit. Right.

1932
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 1: So obviously Bosa last year, relative to his standard, wasn't

1933
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 1: as good, but he remember he held out. Now he's

1934
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:49,639
Speaker 1: ready to roll yad Floyd Hardgrave they paid a bunch

1935
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 1: of cash to and kind of underwhelmed last year. I

1936
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 1: think he's in better shape this year. A lot of

1937
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 1: pressure on him to just be a you know, ten

1938
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: sack interior pass rusher, and if he can be better

1939
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 1: a little bit like he was for the Eagles, that

1940
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 1: will be a huge boost. And then I mean we

1941
01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:05,519
Speaker 1: just know as long as Perty's on the field with

1942
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: Kyle like their offense can be fine.

1943
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, apologies to your producers for me saying thirty

1944
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 3: second thoughts on fortnite, because when you and I talk

1945
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:14,640
Speaker 3: about any team, we know it's never going to be

1946
01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,439
Speaker 3: thirty seconds. But uh yeah, higher upside with this d

1947
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 3: from like you said, the back ends better and they're

1948
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:21,920
Speaker 3: more dynamic, way higher ceiling.

1949
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, I mean, I I think we'll learn a

1950
01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 1: lot in the first couple of weeks, like I might.

1951
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,040
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about this last week. I think

1952
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,000
Speaker 1: the NFC, we'll see this Eagles Packers game if you're

1953
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 1: listening to this on Friday tonight, obviously the Sunday night game.

1954
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, those two teams could hell they played in

1955
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:39,559
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I expect them probably both to be Obviously,

1956
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 1: Lions are stacked in the rams. If Stafford's healthy'll probably

1957
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 1: be a playoff team. It's the NFC is hard. I mean,

1958
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, if Dallas turns out to be solid. Obviously,

1959
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:50,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles are loaded roster, like, it's just you know,

1960
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: if McDonald has the defense better, that will be harder

1961
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers, who have kind of owned

1962
01:40:55,880 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: Pete these last couple of years post Russell Wilson. So yeah, yeah,

1963
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and we talked about Kyler like that's just

1964
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 1: a that's a tough, shitty team. So it's I think

1965
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:05,760
Speaker 1: the NFC's is good.

1966
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, NFC is so much better. It's a shame. I

1967
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 3: really hope shan Ann does get a Super Bowl. It's

1968
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,000
Speaker 3: a shame he didn't. He wasn't able to get one

1969
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:16,920
