1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: What two three brights down in the middle of the

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: family tie? Hello's football? Who's got it down in the

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: one yard line?

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: How about that? That is the ultimate kabash and.

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: We are underway.

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,240

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: Network NFL podcast. I am Matthew Friedman, the editor in

00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: episode of the pod before the Super Bowl. Of course,

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: after the Super Bowl, we will still have some shows

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: in which we look back at twenty eighteen and look

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: ahead to twenty nineteen. Last episode, Sean Corner and I

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: looked at our favorite Super Bowl fifty three props. It

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: was Propapalooza. For this episode, sponsored by the Way by

Speaker 3: Audible and Mack Weldon, we are breaking down the Super

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: Bowl from a sports betting and daily fantasy perspective and

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: joining me none other than Chris Rayvon, a senior editor

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 3: and analyst at the Action Network and they co host

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: of I'll Take That Bet on ESPN Plus. Chris, it

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: has been a couple of weeks. How are you doing

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: I am doing good.

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: I actually got to see all the guys recorded the

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 4: Favorites podcast.

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 2: Live a couple of days ago. So that was fun.

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: So they all say hi and excited to get back at.

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: It with you.

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't mention those people because we have a rivalry

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: with them. It's this podcast versus that podcast, and I

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: feel betrayed that you would even attend the live recording

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: of that podcast. But whatever, they're they're good guys, They're

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: in the company.

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: I feel like, I feel like we need a live podcast,

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: like why why Chad Millman and Jeff Schwartz and Paul

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 4: and Duka, Like who are they?

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Like? Yeah, who are these guys?

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: We're carrying this thing?

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, Okay, I shouldn't mention that.

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: At the end of the show, Chris is going to

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: run through a few of his favorite Super Bowl props,

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,000

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: let's jump into it. It's the Super Bowl. Super Bowl

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: fifty three. Very excited for this matchup. I think some

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: people maybe weren't as excited about this matchup when you

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: know the conference championships were over. But I think it's

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: gonna be good. Kickoff is at six thirty pm Eastern.

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: We have the Rams in the Patriots. Patriots favored by

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: two and a half a fifty six point five over under.

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: The spread opened.

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: At Rams minus one or a pick at most books.

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 3: Very quickly, it moved to Patriots minus two and now

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: two and a half and it's been sitting at the

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: two and a half for about ten days. I should

61
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: say we were recording this on Wednesday. The over under

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: opened at fifty eight and a half and it's been

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: bet down to fifty six point five. Seventy eight percent

64
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: of the ticket seventy nine percent of the money is

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: on the Patriots. But most books have not yet tested

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: minus three to see if they get Rams money. Maybe

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: they are all waiting till later in the week to

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: go to minus three. But right now it looks as

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: if Vegas and the sportsbooks are fine with needing the Rams,

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: and generally books try to avoid being in that position

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: of needing a side in such a high volume game.

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: So that is something that is notable. On the Favorites podcast.

73
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: The aforementioned Favorites podcast, Bob Scucci said that their numbers

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: had the RAMS at minus one, which is why they

75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: opened there. Our power rankings also have the RAMS at

76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: minus one, So it seems that there is value on

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Almost all of the sharp people I know

78
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: are just waiting to bet on the Rams of plus three,

79
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: and we can talk about that later. Forty eight percent

80
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: of the tickets, fifty four percent of the money is

81
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: on the under, which seems to be where the Sharps

82
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: have landed. We have the Pats in their ninth Super

83
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: Bowl of the Brady Belichie era, their third and three years.

84
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: The Rams have fully emerged from the Jeff Fisher era

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: under head coach Sean McVay, who in two years with

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: the team has transformed it into one of the best

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: in the league. There is so much to talk about

88
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: with this game, Chris, What should we talk about first?

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: Well, I think we got to go because, especially with

90
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 4: these coaching matchups, you know, Wade Phillips versus Josh McDaniels

91
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: and Belichick.

92
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: And versus Sean McVay.

93
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: I think we got to start, you know, we got

94
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: to break down each team's offense versus the defense and

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: kind of figure out what.

96
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: These coaches are going to do. So let's start with

97
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: the Rams offense.

98
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: And of course I think you have to start with

99
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: the quarterback in Jared Goff here because he struggles versus

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: man coverage. Ian Hardits of the Action Network actually tweeted

101
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: out a stat that in nine games for GoF versus

102
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: teams that play you know, zone defense at a top

103
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: twelve to eight, GoF is averaging eight point five yards

104
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: per attempt. But then in five games where GoF has

105
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: faced a team that is top twelve in man coverage rate,

106
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: he drops to six point nine yards per a time.

107
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: So night and day for Goff, you know, when he's

108
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: playing man.

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: In the Patriots, they play a ton of man and

110
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 4: the reason is they have a lot of guys that

111
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: can cover. When you talk about Stefan Gilmore, j C.

112
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: Jackson has looked really strong. You still have both mccordy,

113
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: so great secondary for New England. So I think that's

114
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 4: a concern for Jared Goff. And then you start to

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 4: look at the Cooper cup splits, which I think are

116
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: kind of it kind of relates a little bit. But

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 4: with Cooper cup, the Rams have a fifty four percent

118
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: success rate. Without cup, that drops to forty eight percent.

119
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 4: So that fifty four percent, that's that's third, that forty

120
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 4: eight percent, that's middle of the pack, that's thirteen another

121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: concern for him. And then it's not even that it

122
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: doesn't even stop there under pressure GoF with cup seventy

123
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 4: seven point seven passer rating without cup forty six point

124
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: eight passer rating under pressure for Jared Goff just four

125
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: point eighty five yards per attempt for golf without cup

126
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: under pressure that is going.

127
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: To be used.

128
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 4: I think that Bill Belichick is gonna look at this,

129
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: and I think he is going to bring a few

130
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: more blitzes than he would normally bring. Like what do

131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: you think, Like, how do you think Belichick is gonna

132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: look at Jerrek Goff in this game?

133
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good question.

134
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: I honestly have no idea because Belichick he does so

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: many different things. And I was listening to a podcast

136
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: talking about how Belichick basically uses the first half of

137
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: the season to experiment with what he does defensively, so

138
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: that later in the season, whenever they need to kind

139
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 3: of have multiple looks and kind of even change within

140
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: a game what it is that they are doing, they

141
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: have already done it in games before, and so I

142
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: think that is what we should expect to see. We

143
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 3: should expect to see a lot of different looks, basically

144
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: like everything that has been in the Patriots repertoire up

145
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: to this point and the season, like we are going

146
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: to see snippets. I think of all of that in

147
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: this game to give GoF as many different looks as possible,

148
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: because he's still a young quarterback, and you know, I

149
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: think there's the possibility almost to overwhelm him with different

150
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: looks along the front line and then you know, different

151
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: zone coverages.

152
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with you.

153
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: I will be interested to see what Belichick does defensively

154
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: to try to get GoF out of his rhythm. But

155
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, just kind of their default for the

156
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: Patriots is to run man coverage and that is where

157
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: GoF has struggled. So I think we should assume that

158
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: most of the time we're going to see that but

159
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: I still think there will be a lot of different

160
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: looks intermingled in there to throw GoF.

161
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: Off absolutely and you know, just going back to that,

162
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 4: so with cupping the lineup, you know, GoF two point

163
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: sixty seven seconds to throw, and then with Cup out

164
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: that jumps up to two point seven to six, so

165
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: he's holding the ball a little bit more. The play

166
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: action pass game hasn't been as successful for him either

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: without Cup. With Cup in the lineup, thirty eight point

168
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: five percent of his throws work play action, and he

169
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: averaged a league high eleven point six yards per ten

170
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: on play action when Cup was there.

171
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: And that's because Cup, you know, running underneath routes. That

172
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: just kind of opens up everything else you can do

173
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: as well.

174
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: And I think with Reynolds is a whole different kind

175
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: of receiver and it kind of changes things up a little.

176
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: You could pay more attention to Wood, so you.

177
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: Know, in some way, and this isn't exactly accurate, but

178
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: like Cooks and Woods and Cup all have different overlapping

179
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: skill sets, like each of them have their own strengths,

180
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: but each of those guys could play in the slot

181
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: if needed. Each of those guys can play out wide

182
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: if needed, and Reynolds really isn't that type of receiver,

183
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: so it makes the offense less multi dimensional. So that

184
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: is one thing that the absence of Cooper Cup even

185
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: if you don't think that he's a great slot receiver

186
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: or a great athlete in general, his presence on the

187
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: field enables the just to do more things.

188
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

189
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: So, yeah, let's talk about cooks and woods, because I

190
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: think that this is another fascinating kind of what will

191
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: Belichick do thing, And I think it starts with with

192
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: Stefan Gilmour because he has been just amazing this season.

193
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: According to Pro Football Focus, he's.

194
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: Been targeted one hundred times, has given up forty four

195
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: catches ninety four yards after the catch all season.

196
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred targets, and he's been doing a lot

197
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: of it on an island. He has had very little

198
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: help on what he's been doing. He's yeah, as you mentioned,

199
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: he's just he's been impressive.

200
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: Like he had eighteen path breakups during the regular season.

201
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: That was first in the league. No one else had

202
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: more than thirteen. Like, he has been a straight monster.

203
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: And what's crazy is when he's gone, he's played in

204
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: the slot a little bit and even in the slot

205
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: only thirteen of twenty six completions and a fifty seven

206
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: point one passer rating allowed, so he hasn't fallen off

207
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: at all even when he's moved inside. So whether it's Woods,

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: I think I think that he's going to end up

209
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: following Woods around a lot.

210
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: That's just my hunch.

211
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: I think that because he's now going into the slot

212
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: and Woods is a guy that are going to the slot.

213
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: I think what Belichick will likely do is something similar

214
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: to what he did against Tyreek Hill.

215
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: You had guys like j C.

216
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: Jackson crossing and those guys kind of on Hill safety

217
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: help over the top at all times. Mccordy was on

218
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 4: him some and you're essentially doubling, you know, that kind

219
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: of guy that the speed guy in every play.

220
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: So I think he might do that with Cooks, trust.

221
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 4: Gilmore to follow Woods around whether it's inside or outside,

222
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: and then Reynolds will be the guy that will be

223
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: most often kind of singled up. So I think that's

224
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: kind of where what Belichick will kind of lean on

225
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 4: the most. And you know, it's if you look at

226
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: what the Patriots have done down the stretch, so they

227
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: had to buy late in the year you know, they

228
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 4: come back in week twelve and they faced quite a

229
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: few duos that you could you could.

230
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Say are pretty elite.

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 4: I mean they faced Adam Thielen and StepN Diggs.

232
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: Those guys did nothing against against the Patriots.

233
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Gigs had five catches forty nine

234
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: yards and the wind was I don't have his exact

235
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: numbers in front of me, but it was it was

236
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: just bad for him as well. I think he scored

237
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: a touchdown, but the yardage was not there at all.

238
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: Then you had Juju Smith Schuster and Antonio Brown, and

239
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: Antonio went four for forty nine and a touch Juju

240
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 4: went four for forty so. And then you go to

241
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: the playoffs and you have Keenan Allen gets two catches,

242
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 4: Yes he gets one of the one on a big play,

243
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 4: but you know, two catches seventy five yards.

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: You have Mike Williams five of eleven for sixty eight yards.

245
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: You know another you know, stop in the one two.

246
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: And then you go to the Chiefs game, Kelsey three catches,

247
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: twenty three yards and a touchdown, Tyreek Hill three targets,

248
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: one catch, forty two yards.

249
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: So, and Watkins got his in that game but I mean,

250
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: if you had to, if you're the Patriots and you're

251
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: thinking which one of these guys are we going to

252
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: allow production to, it would be Watkins out of those three, right.

253
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: And in this situation, it's like Watkins is if you're

254
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 4: kind of comparing, you know who would be who? Watkins

255
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 4: is obviously a lot better than than Josh Reynolds, and

256
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: so you're not even He's not even going to be

257
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: as much as a threat. So what the Patriots have

258
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: been able to do against top guys is impressive. I

259
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: think that they are going to be able to kind

260
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 4: of limit these RAMS receivers more so than in most

261
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: teams that we've seen this year. And that kind of

262
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: leads me to, Okay, well, what are the RAMS going

263
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,239
Speaker 4: to do? They're going to have to attack these linebackers

264
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 4: for the Patriots. You know, Kyle van Noy and Landon Roberts,

265
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 4: Dante Hi Tower High Tower allowing one hundred and fifteen

266
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: point four passer rating per PFF. Van Noise up there

267
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 4: at one hundred point two and Roberts is at ninety

268
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: eight point seven. So I think those are the guys

269
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: that you want to attack. I think we're going to

270
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: have to see you know, Todd Gurley, like, where where

271
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: are you on? You know, Todd Gurley, CJ Anderson and

272
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 4: that whole split.

273
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Gurley is going to get more of

274
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: the than he's gotten in the past two games. The

275
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: thing that I'm thinking about with this matchup, specifically with

276
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: New England's defense, they've been playing more dime recently to

277
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: kind of limit the exposure of those linebackers who, like

278
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: they know, they're just not good in coverage. You have

279
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: Harmon playing at free safety, and you have Chung playing

280
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: as the dimebacker there, and at this point, when High

281
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: Tower is still on the field in that formation, they're

282
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: using him basically as a pass rusher. It's kind of

283
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: like this interesting hybrid approach that they have. So I

284
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 3: don't even know how often when the Rams are in

285
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 3: three receiver sets and they use that as their base formation,

286
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: you know, like ninety percent of the time when they

287
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: are in those sets. I don't even know how much

288
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: opportunity they're really going to get to attack the Patriots

289
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: linebackers because they're just like the guys who are the

290
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 3: massive liability aren't out there to the extent that they

291
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: had been previously in the year. So yeah, I'm interested

292
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: in that, man. I have to tell you, like, if

293
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: I didn't know that at this point, like the books

294
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: basically are betting on the Rams, I would be really

295
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: tempted to take the Patriots because, like I don't see

296
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: the Rams being as good as the Chiefs were, you know,

297
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: like they don't have the weapons. Like Tyreek Hill is

298
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: better than Brandon Cooks, you know, Woods as playing Woods

299
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: in the slot is kind of like a lesser version

300
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: I know, it's not really the same thing, but a

301
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: lesser version of Kelsey who basically plays as a big

302
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: bodied slot receiver. Watkins is better than Reynolds, you know,

303
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: like I just and Mahomes is better than golf Damian Williams.

304
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to say that he's better than Gury,

305
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: but like we don't we just we kind of don't

306
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: know what we're going to get out of Girly, and

307
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: Williams has been a productive back when he's been out there.

308
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: So like the Patriots were able to find a way

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: to at least I mean, they didn't shut down at

310
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: that Kansas City offense, but they came pretty close to

311
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: doing it for three quarters before just giving up a

312
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: whole bunch of points in the fourth quarter, and we

313
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: could see something like that here. But like, I was

314
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: impressed by what I saw out of the Patriots defense

315
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: in that game. And I don't know how the Rams

316
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: are going to do a better job than what Kansas

317
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: City did two weeks ago, you know what I mean, I.

318
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 4: Do, And I'm actually glad you brought that up because

319
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: that leads me right into what I think is going

320
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: to have to be Sean mcvay's trump card here. Like,

321
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: I think I've thought about this a lot, and I

322
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: think there's one thing that Sean McVay can do to

323
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: kind of slow all this down. Because what's crazy about

324
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: Gilmore too, is that he actually started covering Kelsey in

325
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: the second half of that I guess, so like that was

326
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: another reason they were using so much time, was to

327
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: get a corner on Kelsey because they have jac Jackson

328
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: on him too. So here's what I think that Sean

329
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: McVay needs to do. We know you kind of mentioned it.

330
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 4: The Rams are a predominantly three wide receiver, one tight end,

331
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 4: one running back team. They ran that personnel for the

332
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: season at a rate of eighty nine percent. They only

333
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 4: ran two tight end looks on eight percent of their

334
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 4: offensive snaps. However, Lo and Behold last week that number

335
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: jumped up to twenty five percent. I think that Sean

336
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: McVay is going to look at this matchup and kind

337
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: of look at everything we just said, how good the

338
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 4: New England secondary has been, how well they match up

339
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: in man coverage, but how exploitable their linebackers are, and

340
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: he's going to say, I need to keep this team

341
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: in base defense. Yeah, at all times, whether I'm throwing

342
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: or whether I'm running. Because number one to beat the Patriots.

343
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: The five teams that have beat the Patriots this year,

344
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 4: they've been able to run all over them one hundred

345
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: and fifty two yard average and eighty eight yards on

346
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: six point eight yards per carry in the first half.

347
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: So it's not just like.

348
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: A gain, right.

349
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: I think what they need to do.

350
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: I think what they're going to do is that they're

351
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: gonna use Gurley and Anderson one two personnel, higgb and

352
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 4: Everett on the field for a ton of snaps. I

353
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: think Reynolds is gonna play fewer snaps, and I think

354
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: that they're gonna try to attack up the middle because

355
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: that's where the Patriots were weakest. They were twenty seventh

356
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: and adjusted vineyards four point nine one up the middle

357
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 4: according to Football Outsiders.

358
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: And so I think that you're gonna use C. J.

359
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 4: Anderson with that, And I think you're gonna get Girly

360
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 4: in the past game on these linebackers, and I think

361
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna get Higbee and Everett as well. And I

362
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 4: think Everett actually may be a key player in this

363
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 4: game because he has.

364
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: Some explosive in explosive element.

365
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: To his game and we saw him rumble against the

366
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 4: Saints for a big game in the clutch. So I

367
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 4: think that I think that that's how mcveig's gonna do it.

368
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: Like what do you think, Like what do you think?

369
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: Do you think how likely do you think it is

370
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: that McVeigh that this is like the highest two tight

371
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: end personnel percentage for the Rams of the season this

372
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: week in the Super Bowl.

373
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

374
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: It wouldn't surprise me because, as you mentioned, that would

375
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: really counter act what the Patriots want to do defensively,

376
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: and that is to have their best eleven players on

377
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: the field, and that means that they have to be

378
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: heavy at defensive back. But if they do that, they

379
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: cannot defend the run the way that they probably need to,

380
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: so they I mean, actually it is a good question.

381
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: Would they just sacrifice the run. That is something that

382
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: I could see Belichick doing, just you know, if the

383
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: Rams want to run the ball, letting them run the

384
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 3: ball and still playing against the pass first, because I mean,

385
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: that's kind of the smarter way to do it.

386
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 2: I think that he would think about it.

387
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 4: But the Rams are so good running like this is

388
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: not just like a team that's like a Soco running

389
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 4: team that you let run because you know at some

390
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: point they're going to have to pass. Like this is

391
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: this is the best running team, This is the best

392
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: run blocking offensive line. So I don't know that he's

393
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: going to want to and I don't think he's going

394
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: to want to let them kind of play ball control either.

395
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 4: So I think he actually is going to have to

396
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, match their personnel, and it's going

397
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 4: to come down to execution. I think that's what's every

398
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 4: time we've seen the Patriots in a Super Bowl, it's

399
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: been a close game, and I think one of the

400
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: reasons is when you have two weeks to prepare and

401
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 4: you're kind of it's like I have this theory. It's

402
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: like it's like steel sharp and steel. It's like, when

403
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 4: you're watching and game planning for Belichick for two weeks,

404
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: you have no choice but to get better and kind

405
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: and so.

406
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: It kind of ends up being less about some of these.

407
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: Coaching things and strategic tactics and just about execution, because

408
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 4: I think at the end of the day, I don't

409
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: think you can win the way the Rams have been

410
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 4: running with cj.

411
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: Anders.

412
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 4: I don't think you can let them just start just

413
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 4: running for four or five yards every time. I think

414
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 4: one of the underrated things that Belichick did actually though

415
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: against Kansas City, you kind of hit it like he

416
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 4: had an amazing game plan against Kansas City, not only

417
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: against the past, but New England was really struggling up

418
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: the middle. And so what he did was he took

419
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 4: Trey Flowers. Trey Flowers played a season high twenty seven

420
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: snaps at defensive tackle, and he is one of their

421
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 4: better run defenders. And so what that did was that

422
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: allowed John Simon now to play more snaps at defensive end,

423
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 4: and he has an eighty one point one run defensive

424
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: rating from Pro Football Focus. So I don't think it

425
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: will be quite as easy for the Rams to run.

426
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 4: But I think Anderson, Gurley, Higbee Everett are gonna be

427
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: like the major guys in this game. I don't think

428
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna see a big game from from Cook's or Woods, all.

429
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: Right, anymore to touch on when it comes to the

430
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 3: Rams offense versus New England defense.

431
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: You know, oh, just real quick, you know, since I

432
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: know there's gonna be all the chatter about Todd Gurley

433
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: versus Anderson, and Anderson really has outplayed Gurley since he

434
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 4: joined the team. If you if you look at some

435
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: of the numbers, I think the yards, the yards after

436
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: contact really kind of tell the story.

437
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: Because Anderson was averaging only two.

438
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: Point five four yards after contact with Carolina according to PFF.

439
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: But when he comes to the Rams, all of a sudden,

440
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: you know, that jumps way up and that's it, and

441
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it's over six point four, two

442
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 4: point nine six, two point nine six, and two point

443
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: one in the four games. So he's declining, but he's

444
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: been getting more yards after contact than Girly. However, every

445
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: game it seems like anderson His yards for carry has

446
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 4: gone down from the previous game. His yards after context

447
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 4: has gone down from the previous game. His PFF rating

448
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 4: has gone down from the previous game. Like, I wonder,

449
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 4: we talked about it a couple weeks ago. He looks

450
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 4: bigger than he did earlier. I wonder if he's wearing

451
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: down with it after all those you know, twenty kind

452
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: of like out of nowhere.

453
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he came in with fresh legs, you know,

454
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: because he hadn't been used for almost the entire season. Now,

455
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: it would make sense that if he's not as conditioned

456
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: as he had been previously, and he's been used heavily,

457
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: it would make sense for him to be wearing down.

458
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

459
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 4: And at the same time, Gurley hasn't been quite right either,

460
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 4: because so for the season, his overall PFF grade, and

461
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 4: the reason I'm looking at PF grades is I'm just

462
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 4: trying week We can obviously look at the raw numbers,

463
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: but I'm trying to get a sense of, like, is

464
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: there really something to him not playing as well? Right, So,

465
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 4: his PFF grade for the season overall seventy seven point seven,

466
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 4: but he has not earned a grade above seventy since

467
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: Week eight, Yeah, in any game, and he bottomed out

468
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 4: at forty five point three last week. So he Gurley

469
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: has just not been playing well. The numbers were there

470
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: for most of the regular season, but he did see

471
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 4: a reduction in worklow even before Anderson came. So he

472
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 4: has been getting outplayed and that is really why Sean

473
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 4: McVay has turned away from him. But again in this game,

474
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see a ton of time girl.

475
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: All right, we're going to talk about the Patriots offense

476
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: in the Rams defense. Right after I talked about Audible.

504
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: C t IO N to five hundred five hundred. Okay, Chris,

505
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: talk to me about this Patriots offense versus the Rams defense.

506
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 4: With the Patriots, I think what you have to start

507
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: with is Tom Brady versus interior pressure. Because so I

508
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 4: think Ryan Collins were at a few weeks ago when

509
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 4: they were playing the Chargers, you know, did an article

510
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 4: talking about how Brady has struggled under pressure this year

511
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: is down to his passer ratings down to twenty first

512
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: in the league after we finished number one a year ago.

513
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: But where those struggles.

514
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: Have really manifested themselves is interior pressure. Edge pressure hasn't

515
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: really done anything to Brady one eighteen point seven passer rating,

516
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: but interior sixty three point one.

517
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: And that's per NFL research.

518
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 4: And so the Rams defense, and this is kind of

519
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 4: where it flips because you kind of.

520
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: Hit on it.

521
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: It's hard to get behind the Rams at all when

522
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: you just talk about their offense going against the Patriots.

523
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 4: But it's a little bit of the same story coming

524
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: back the other way because the Rams defense weeds the

525
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 4: NFL an interior pressure eight at sixteen point six percent.

526
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald led the.

527
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 4: NFL with one hundred and six pressures, led the NFL

528
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 4: with twenty one sacks. His twenty quarterback hits tied for third,

529
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: tied for eighth with fifty stops. Like Aaron Donald is

530
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: a force in the middle in the interior, you also

531
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: have endomikinsu. When you have interior pressure, it's tough to

532
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: scheme around it because it's just it's simply you know,

533
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 4: if the pocket's breaking down from right in front of you.

534
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: You can't step up into the pocket. You know, Tom

535
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 4: Brady not a very mobile guy, So I don't know

536
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: how like if they're going to move the pocket or

537
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: do any bootlegs or anything like that. But he's been

538
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 4: making a women just getting the ball out really quickly

539
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 4: in the postseason. You know, Pro Football Focus has him

540
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: on at two point one eight seconds to throw, which

541
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 4: is extremely fast on average. So you know, I think

542
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: the interior pressure, if the rams can get there, I

543
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 4: think that you're gonna see Brady, you know, look mortal.

544
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 4: And that's kind of what's been the story for teams

545
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 4: that have beat him. In the Super Bowl. You had

546
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 4: the Giants a couple of times with just putting their

547
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 4: four best pass rushers on the field, so they got

548
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 4: some they got pressure not only on the edge but

549
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 4: on the inside.

550
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: And then you had the Philadelphia Eagles.

551
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: Of course they have Fletcher Cocks and so you know

552
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 4: they were able to kind of cause some disruption as well.

553
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: So I think that's really going to be the key

554
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 4: to slowing down Tom Brady.

555
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: What do you think?

556
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. Where he has struggled is the interior pressure.

557
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: For me, I'm interested in how, I mean, how these

558
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: pass catchers are going to match up and how important

559
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: that might be in the game, like whether that will

560
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: actually kind of matter or not, Like, well, the Patriots

561
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: look to kind of neutralize the effectiveness of the interior

562
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 3: pass rush and of the coverage by just running the

563
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 3: ball and doing the quick passes to James White. You know,

564
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 3: do they basically have the game plan that we've seen

565
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: them have in previous weeks, Because I do think that

566
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: Donald into probably get to Brady Fowler is a wild card,

567
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 3: you know, like he's some games he's great and then

568
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: some games he's not, and so we just we kind

569
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: of don't know. But if he's on his game, he

570
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: could really compliment what Donald and Sue are doing in

571
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 3: the interior. And then Roby Coleman has been good in

572
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: the slot as a defender this year, so like Roby

573
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: Coleman against Edelman. Edelman will still be productive, but I

574
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 3: think Roby Coleman could be good enough, you know, just

575
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 3: to win enough enough of the matchups to you know,

576
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: turn some of those third downs into fourth downs instead

577
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 3: of first downs, to leave I think is really important.

578
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're going to use him. I

579
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: could see him actually matching up a little bit with

580
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: Gronk sometimes. But even if that doesn't happen, I think

581
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: Joyner and Johnson as the safeties who would be covering Gronk.

582
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 3: I think both of them are pretty good. And you know,

583
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: I think it's possible that Gronk could kind of have

584
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: like a hashtag retirement, you know, game type of one

585
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: final peak performance, but likes, he's not the Gronk that

586
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: he was last year, you know, and last year's Gronk

587
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: wasn't even the guy he had been the year before that.

588
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 3: So it's hard to know really what the Patriots are

589
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: going to do. But it's hard to say with Brady like, oh,

590
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: if they have to throw the ball, this isn't going

591
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 3: to be a good situation, because they've had enough success

592
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: in the past throwing the ball to make you believe

593
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: that they can do it. But I think the negative

594
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: thing for the Patriots in this game is to have

595
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 3: to rely on passing the ball. I think if they

596
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: have to rely on Gronk and Edelman, I think that

597
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: really hurts their chances.

598
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: To win absolutely.

599
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 4: And you know, the Rams defense, we should probably talk

600
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 4: about just how you know, their run defense twenty eighth

601
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: in DVA during the regular season, and then we get

602
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 4: to the postseason and they just flip a switch, and

603
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 4: you know, they they they alluded to it. You know,

604
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: I was reading some quotes from from Wade Phillips and

605
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: a bunch of the guys, and they were saying how

606
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 4: a lot of it was motivation, but also they, you know,

607
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 4: Wade Phillips is kind of selling out a little bit

608
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 4: more to stop the run. He's putting guys more defenders

609
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 4: in the box on a more frequent basis. And you know,

610
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: so the Rams what they do is they go and

611
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: they hold the Cowboys to twenty one carries for forty

612
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: eight yards. That's two point three yards per carry, and

613
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: then the Saints get the twenty two carries for fifty yards.

614
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: That's two point two seven. So it's really a night

615
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 4: and day switch. And the Patriots, you know themselves, on

616
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 4: the other und, they've actually played really good run defense too.

617
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 4: Should probably mention that in the postseason as well, but

618
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 4: they've only faced twenty two carries, so that's gonna that's

619
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 4: another thing kind of way big.

620
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 2: I think.

621
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 4: I think whoever wins the toss is definitely receiving. So

622
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 4: if you could find a prop one like on that,

623
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 4: I would definitely I would definitely bet receiving because I

624
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: think both of these teams are gonna want to get

625
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: the ball first and established control of the game with

626
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 4: the run. But it's tough to fully know what Bill

627
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 4: Belichick is planning to do. But I do think that

628
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: you are going to see all lo out of that

629
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 4: quick passing game to James White, because again Tom Brady

630
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 4: has just that's that's been his bread and butter. It's

631
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: been that quick release and when he releases the ball

632
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: in under two and a half seconds, his passer rating

633
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 4: is one oh two point four. When he releases an

634
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 4: under two point five seconds during the regular season, then

635
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: when he released an over two point five, it drops

636
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: all the way to ninety two point seven. So that's

637
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: about a ten ten point drop in passer rating when

638
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: he's holding onto the ball for two point five seconds longer.

639
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 4: So I think that you are going to continue to

640
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: see that that quick game to James White, and I

641
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: think that the receivers are going to struggle because a

642
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 4: kid to Lee has just been a difference maker. If

643
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: you look at the numbers with and without him on

644
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 4: the field, they're kind of astonishing. And this is even

645
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: taking into account the fact that they did play somewhat

646
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: of an easier schedule when he was in. But overall,

647
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 4: with threeve in the lineup, the Rams opponents have hit

648
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 4: their implied point total. And this is an assist to

649
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: your research here, they hit their implied total in only

650
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 4: four of ten games. They're going under by an average

651
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: of two point four points per game. And that's with

652
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: Tuleab in the lineup. Now, in the eight games without

653
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: to Leave, opponents have hit their implied point total against

654
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 4: the Rams in six of eight and they've gone over

655
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: by an average of seven point two.

656
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, night in the day.

657
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 4: And yeah, and here's an interesting one too, because I'm

658
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 4: sure we'll get to this later. But the over under,

659
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 4: So with Tuleib, the over is only three six and one,

660
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 4: and it's going under by an average of one point

661
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 4: four points. Without to leave, the over five and three

662
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: going over by an average of.

663
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: Fourteen point one points per game. So, I mean, yeah,

664
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: it's amazing.

665
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, here's a difference maker, and it's I mean,

666
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: for defenses, it's what do you have on the outside

667
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 3: to be able to cover guys and then what type

668
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 3: of pressure can you bring? And I think the Rams

669
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: defense has it in the right places. Like I think

670
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: to Leave is good enough to be able to shut

671
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: down whoever it is that he's defending. I think Roby

672
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: Coleman is good enough to be able to limit Edelman enough.

673
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: And I mean Peters is so inconsistent, but like he

674
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: could have a great game out of nowhere, you know

675
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: what I mean. He could also get burned for two touchdowns,

676
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: but like he could have a great game, and then

677
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: they have that interior pass rush and then yeah, you've

678
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: mentioned their defensive coordinator too. I mean Wade Phillips, Like

679
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: I feel conflicted about him as like a Cowboys fan.

680
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: I don't think he was a great head coach, but

681
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: like he's a great defensive coordinator, Like I think, like

682
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame caliber defensive coordinator. He's like one of

683
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: the few guys who has really proven wherever he's gone

684
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: to be able to transform a defense. And so as

685
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: good as Belichick is on the defensive side of the ball,

686
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: like I think Wade Phillips is almost as good.

687
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: He has a.

688
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: Lot of players there who are good. And I think

689
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: he can do a lot of things with them. So

690
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: for me, it's just a question of, like can they

691
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 3: come up with I mean, you know, the Patriots are

692
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: going to on the defensive side of the ball, come

693
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: up with some way of really trying to neutralize the

694
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: Rams offense. Can the Rams defense do the same thing?

695
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: Can they come up with some idea that the Patriots

696
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: didn't see coming? You know, it's like, oh, you know,

697
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: who knew that tale was going to be man on

698
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: man with Edelman the whole game or like whatever it is.

699
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 3: But like, can they come up with whatever? Like that

700
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: X factor is that throws enough of a wrench in

701
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: the machine of the Patriots offense where it slows them

702
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: down for a couple of series. You know, like can

703
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: they make that adjustment?

704
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 4: I think they can because you know, we talked last week,

705
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: and I mean my real main reason for being on

706
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 4: the Rams at all last week was the fact that

707
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: I thought Wade Phillips could out coach Sean Payton essentially,

708
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 4: like I thought, and I mean the Saints were invisible

709
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, Like, yes, there was a blone call,

710
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: there was a forty three yard completion again which should

711
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: have been picked and like not even it's not even

712
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 4: really an opinion, like it should have at least been

713
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 4: incomplete if you got picked. And that's that's not even

714
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 4: an opinion. Like next Gen Stats has a they calculate

715
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 4: completion probability.

716
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: Right right, and it was it was an.

717
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 4: Under forty percent chance of being complete. I believe it

718
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 4: was the lowest of the game for Breeze. And besides that,

719
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 4: that was forty three of Breeze's fifty nine yards in

720
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter and overtime.

721
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara only.

722
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 4: One catch for eight yards after the third quarter, and

723
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: the fact that the way they were defending Kamara actually

724
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 4: probably is what helped them luck into that note call

725
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 4: in the first place, because I wrote about this in

726
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 4: an article entitled the Can we stop pretending the Rams

727
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 4: don't deserve to be in the right? Yeah, And you

728
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: know it was if you look at what happened on

729
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 4: that play and Domakan su leaks out into the flat

730
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 4: because he thinks he has to like disrupt Kamara in

731
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: some way because that's what they've been doing, essentially give

732
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: him the Marshall fault treatment, realizes that it's it's.

733
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: Not Kamara, it's Tommy Lee.

734
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 4: Lewis and like because he had leaked down to the

735
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 4: flat is just right in the passing lane, makes Drew

736
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 4: Brees lost it instead of having a more direct line

737
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 4: of flight on the throw to Lewis. And and because

738
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 4: the ball sails, all you know, all hell breaks loose

739
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: and Roby Coleman somehow beats Louis to the ball even

740
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 4: though he was clearly beat on the play, and they'll

741
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 4: call it and it's an incompletion and here we are.

742
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 4: So you know, even when Wade Philips, you know it

743
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 4: isn't directly doing something. You know, his impact is on

744
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 4: the game in a number of ways. And I think

745
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 4: that you know, he's not a guy that's going to

746
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 4: come up with crazy wrinkles, but he knows what he

747
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: has to do to put his guys in a position

748
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 4: to succeed. I think I think he will do that again.

749
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 4: And just going back to Tlee real quick, I mean,

750
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 4: you mentioned Roby Coleman, and you mentioned Marcus Peters, and

751
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: I got more.

752
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 2: I got more to leave swip for you.

753
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 4: Because Marcus Peters, without to lead, allowed thirty five or

754
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: forty seven for five hundred and seventy two yards.

755
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: That's a one hundred and forty one point four passer

756
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: rating Pro Football. For that's without to lead, right with

757
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: to leave in.

758
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 4: The lineup twenty four thirty eight for three to eleven,

759
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 4: one touchdown, two picks, seventy five point seven passer rating. Now,

760
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: what's the reason for that Number one to Peters doesn't

761
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: have to then go in and shadow number one guys,

762
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 4: because he did that a couple of times. Also, he

763
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 4: can he can play his side, and he can play

764
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 4: awfu a little more, you know, And that's where he's

765
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 4: really at his best, when he's jumping routes and being

766
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 4: able to play off and he's not really up at

767
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: the line of squiggage where his kind of aggressive habits

768
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 4: will get him into trouble. So I mean, also he

769
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 4: doesn't have as much communication responsibility, right, so you.

770
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: Know, it's night and day.

771
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: And then Roby Coleman, you know, without to lead, he

772
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: gave up three touchdowns on fourteen receptions no interceptions. But

773
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: but then when with Talib's on the field, Roby Coleman

774
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: only twenty seven of forty six two hundred eleven yards,

775
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 4: one touchdown, one pick, sixty eight point three passer rating.

776
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 4: So like Roby Coleman was one of the best corners

777
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 4: in the league with to leave on the field. Without him,

778
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 4: he was just a guy who gives up too many touchdowns.

779
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 4: So completely night and day, the Patriots don't really have

780
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 4: the receiving count without Josh Gordon to kind of counteract that.

781
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: So I think they're going to.

782
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 4: Kind of be forced to go to James White, Rex

783
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 4: Burkehead and Gronkowski.

784
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: I think is going to have to make plays as well.

785
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 4: And Edelman probably won't have quite as big of a

786
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 4: game as he had against the Chiefs because why do you.

787
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 2: Think Bob Sutton got fired?

788
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean it was just they were playing

789
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: cover two on like key third down plays when Edelman

790
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 4: was just running right to the middle of the field,

791
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 4: like you have to play cover one Robert or something

792
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 4: like similar to that in that situation and take away

793
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: that that middle of the field, and they just couldn't

794
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 4: do it. The Chiefs couldn't figure out how to with

795
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 4: with the stack releases, they couldn't figure out how to

796
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 4: how to track Edelman. There was one play where both

797
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 4: Chiefs corners like ran with the I think it was

798
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 4: Doorset or whoever it was, the other receiver and just

799
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 4: left Edelman wide.

800
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: Open running up across the middle.

801
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 4: So I don't think that what happened with with Roby,

802
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: Coleman and Juib, you know, on the field kind of

803
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 4: being able to communicate. So I think the Patriots by

804
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 4: default almost you have to expect, I think a.

805
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: James White game and a Burkhead game and a Grand game.

806
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we kind of I won't even say

807
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: dancing around it. But like, I mean, like one of

808
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: the big themes that is kind of emerging to me

809
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: through this conversation is that we both really like the

810
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: way these defenses stack up against the offenses. So for me,

811
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, that lends to the under and you know,

812
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: I see on the sheet that we have here, we're

813
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 3: both on the same side of this. We both like

814
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 3: the rams at plus three, which some threes are starting

815
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: to pop up out there. On one book there's plus

816
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: three minus one twenty, but across the industry, for the

817
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 3: most part, it's two and a half. Some bookmakers have

818
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: said that they anticipate they probably will go to three,

819
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 3: and it would make sense given the wealth of Patriots

820
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: money that they have taken so far. But yeah, you

821
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: and I are both right there. We're waiting for the

822
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: plus three on the RAMS and we're looking under fifty

823
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: six and a half.

824
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I just want it to everybody

825
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: out there.

826
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 4: You know, depending on when you listen to this, you know,

827
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: there might be a plus three available at your book.

828
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 4: There might not, but I would recommend that if you're

829
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: looking to bet on the Rams. And I do think

830
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 4: that's the sharper side, just because again you know you

831
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: mentioned it Friedman. We have them as a slight favorite.

832
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 4: The books had him as a slight favorite. I think

833
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 4: it's a toss up game and you want to take

834
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 4: the value here, and I think it's going to be

835
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 4: more of a struggle than we think. But what you

836
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: really want to do is you want to wait until

837
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 4: right up until kickoff if you can't find that that three.

838
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 4: Because about fifteen percent of all NFL games and with

839
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 4: a margin of three, whereas only about eight percent combined

840
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 4: and with a margin of one or two.

841
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: And then you look at the Super Bowls. There's only

842
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 2: been one Super Bowl.

843
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 4: In history that has actually been decided by a margin

844
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 4: of less than three points, but there have been six

845
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 4: Super Bowls that have been decided by exactly three. So

846
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: you really want to wait till the last minute if

847
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 4: you can't find that three, because what's probably going to

848
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 4: happen at many books is that there's going to be

849
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 4: kind of a last second. You know, casual recreational betters

850
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: tend to lay their wages closer to the game time,

851
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 4: and we see all this money, about eighty percent of

852
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 4: the money coming in on the Patriots, and so I

853
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: think what's going to happen is you're gonna see these

854
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 4: books probably be forced to.

855
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: Move it to three at some point before kickoff.

856
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 4: And so I would really recommend that if you if

857
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 4: you don't see it now, just be patient and try

858
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: to find that at three. And if not, if you

859
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: really are feeling the rams, check the money line too,

860
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: because you might be better Again, only one Super Bowl

861
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 4: has ever been decided by less than three. Obviously small

862
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 4: sample size, only fifty two of them, but still I

863
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: think you might be better off just taking better value

864
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 4: taking the RAMS on the money line.

865
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: There.

866
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, that was exactly what I was going

867
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: to say. If you'd like the rams and the plus

868
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 3: three doesn't come, look to the money line. I'm in

869
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 3: this situation where I actually have Patriots futures to win

870
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. So I think I'm probably in a

871
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: situation where I will I think I will bet the

872
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 3: Rams plus three and I hope that the Patriots win

873
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: by one or two, and if I don't get the

874
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 3: plus three, I think I'm probably sitting it out.

875
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, same here. I actually do have some Patriots

876
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: futures as well. That's I feel like you have to

877
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 2: every year. And I think also the same applies to

878
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: the over under.

879
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 4: Getting back to like waiting, because I think right now

880
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 4: we're still seeing the over under dropping and I think.

881
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 2: That is sharp.

882
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 4: But again, there's gonna be a lot of recreational wagers

883
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 4: placed on this game, you know, in droves reading up

884
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 4: to the kickoff, and we know from experience that the

885
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 4: public really tends to favor favorites and overs at at

886
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: a rate that's usually about three quarters toward, you know,

887
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 4: toward the favorite and the over or more. And so

888
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 4: what you're probably going to see is that over under

889
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 4: is going to start to to creep back up.

890
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: So I do think the under is a sharp play.

891
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 4: But at this point I think I would also do

892
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 4: the same thing, wait until golf, hope that it ticks

893
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 4: up another half point point or so by that time,

894
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 4: and then wait till the last minute to bet the under.

895
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. I think that's a good idea.

896
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 3: And that's I mean, I grabbed it at fifty seven

897
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 3: and a half the under a fifty seven and a half,

898
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: and you know, it wouldn't be surprising if that's ultimately

899
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 3: where it ended, if it did creep backup to fifty

900
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: seven and a half fifty eight. Okay, I have another

901
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: ad read after that. We're going to talk with Chris

902
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 3: about the slate from the DFS perspective and also get

903
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 3: his favorite props. But right now, it is my favorite

904
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: time of the day. It's the time when I get

905
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 3: to talk about how good I look in my Mac

906
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 3: Welding clothes. Sure, it probably helps that I recently trimmed

907
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: my beard and got a haircut for the first time

908
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 3: in football season, but really ninety five percent of my

909
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: undoubted attractiveness comes down to my Mac weld and wardrobe.

910
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 3: Let me tell you about Mac Weldon. Their mission is

911
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 3: simple to make sure that all your basics and beyond

912
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 3: are smartly designed, and that shopping for them is easy, inconvenient,

913
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 3: and frankly Macwoldon is better than whatever you're wearing right now.

914
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 3: And Chris, I mean, you always look good, but unless

915
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 3: you are wearing mac Weldon, I've clearly got you beat

916
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: in this contest. I'm not a fan of shopping, but

917
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 3: mac Weldon has a really easy to use, streamlined, intuitive

918
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 3: website to go along with the smart design and premium

919
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 3: fabrics of their clothes. Mack Weldon will be the most

920
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: comfortable underwear socks, shirts, undershirts, hoodies, and sweatpants that you

921
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: will ever wear. I know that because right now I

922
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 3: am wearing one hundred percent Mac Weldon in this underwear.

923
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 3: Let me tell you about mac Weldon underwear. It has

924
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 3: silver built into it, so it's naturally anti microbial, which

925
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: means that it eliminates odor, so you know, you don't stink,

926
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: which is, you know, a good thing. The underwear is

927
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 3: so comfortable that if you don't like it, Mac Weldon

928
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 3: will give you a refund, no questions asked, and you

929
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 3: don't even have to return the underwear. These clothes are

930
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 3: good for working out, going out, just everyday life. My

931
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: personal favorite is the hoodie. It is my version of

932
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: the power suit because I work from home, but really

933
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 3: I love everything that I've gotten from the Mac. So

934
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 3: what I'm saying is that you need to get yourself

935
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,600

938
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 3: about the props that you are liking. Let's start with

939
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks, Brady and Goff.

940
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: What do you think.

941
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 4: I think you still gotta go with Tom in the

942
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 4: captain spot on Showdown because you know, as much as

943
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 4: I don't like the matchups for either of these quarterbacks

944
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 4: or really anybody much anybody in this game.

945
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: You know Tom has been there before.

946
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 4: He's a guy that because he gets the ball out

947
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 4: so quick, you kind of count on, you know, some

948
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 4: baseline of efficiency to be there, whereas you know, GoF

949
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: you don't know exactly what what you're going to get.

950
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: There's a lot more variables. We know Belichick is probably

951
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 4: going to throw throw throw some things at him that

952
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 4: he hasn't seen, as you mentioned. And I also think,

953
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 4: you know the Rams, Todd Gurley and CJ. Anderson, they

954
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 4: could be a huge factor on the ground, Whereas I

955
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 4: think Tom Brady either way, you know, even we've seen

956
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 4: him put up big games, even with Sony Michelle going on.

957
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 4: So I think for me, it's Brady in the captain spots,

958
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 4: and then I think you can go. You can go

959
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 4: a couple of different ways. If you got Brady in

960
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: the captain spot. I think the way I'm probably going

961
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 4: in that scenario is I'm going Jared Goff because you

962
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 4: still want the other quarterback, you know, still one of

963
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 4: the highest projected players in the game. You gotta have

964
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 4: girl in there, and I want James White and Sony

965
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 4: Michelle and that we you have to punt the last spot,

966
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 4: and that what I would probably do, and what I

967
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 4: think I'm gonna do is go James Devlin. We've seen

968
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 4: him involved at the goal line and that's all you're

969
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 4: really looking for with these cheap guys. I think we

970
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 4: talked about it last week with Josh Hill. He ended

971
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 4: up getting hurt. That really didn't quite work out Garrek

972
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 4: Griffin though we kind of saw what it could have

973
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 4: been with Josh Hill. So I think you kind of

974
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 4: do the same thing here with Devlin and you plant

975
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 4: it there. I think there's one kind of other way

976
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 4: you could go with lineup building, though you could go

977
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 4: James White in the captain spot and that saves you

978
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 4: a little go and then from there you could.

979
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: Go Brady Goff Gurly and Everett.

980
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 4: And I think you know, that's another line of construction

981
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 4: that I think, you know, I don't hate it. Excuse me,

982
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 4: Michelle and Michelle and Everett. Yeah, the catch fine, Yeah,

983
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 4: Michelle and Everett. So yeah, Brady GoF Gurley, Michelle Everett.

984
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 4: And that kind of gives you a little more out

985
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 4: of that last spot. And I do think that with

986
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 4: the way this game sets up, that Gerald Everett is

987
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 4: going to be involved. So I do kind of like

988
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 4: that that one as well, just because I think it

989
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 4: gives you a little more upside there. Devlin, you're obviously

990
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 4: you're really just hoping for a goal line volture touchdown,

991
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 4: which is probably twenty five percent chance or even less

992
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: than that. I should just look at his season numbers.

993
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 4: So I think those are the two line of constructions

994
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 4: you want to go. Do you have any kind of

995
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 4: preference in terms of which way you would lean.

996
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I probably want to try to avoid

997
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 3: Devlin And I say that you score like two touchdowns,

998
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 3: but you know, I think I probably want to try

999
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 3: to avoid Devlin because I think with the and I

1000
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 3: talked about this with Sean Corner on the last part

1001
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 3: we did, he has a prop that he likes under

1002
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: Devlin's total yardage with the return of Rex Burkehead, some

1003
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: of the previous plays that might have gone to Devlin

1004
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 3: are now going to Burkehead, and so I'm just a

1005
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 3: little more hesitant on him. But I do understand the

1006
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 3: idea of wanting to get Brady in the captain spot.

1007
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking if there's another construction that you could

1008
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 3: come up with where you still get Brady in the

1009
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: captain spot, but you don't have to go all the

1010
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: way down to Devlin. But that's that's kind of hard

1011
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 3: to come up with.

1012
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 4: It's like these showdowns late, It's like you'd actually be

1013
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 4: surprised how successful you can be kind of punting these

1014
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 4: last slots, because a lot of times, what you're really

1015
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 4: trying to do is just get these You're trying to

1016
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 4: get the quarterbacks and the running backs. And now with

1017
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 4: this game, it's kind of complicated because you have two

1018
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 4: running backs for the Rams and you really have three

1019
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 4: for the Patriots. I mean, Rex Burkehead. You know, he's

1020
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 4: a guy that you kind of want to get in

1021
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: there too, and you really can't. And you can't even

1022
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 4: really get Anderson either, So there it's it's kind of tough,

1023
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 4: and that's kind of why I kind of came up

1024
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 4: with the white one as an alternative, and I think

1025
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 4: I I think I actually might end up waning that

1026
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 4: way a little bit, only because you know, I don't

1027
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 4: think that this is like a Monster Brady game necessarily.

1028
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a Monster Pass game. You know.

1029
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 4: I like the under I think this will be a

1030
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 4: little bit more of a struggle than maybe we would think,

1031
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 4: for you know, a Tom Brady offense and and the

1032
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 4: Rams offense as well.

1033
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 2: So going White in the captain spot is fine.

1034
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 4: I think he'll be again heavily involved because it's gonna

1035
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 4: be tough on the outside.

1036
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 2: The Patriots really don't have the receivers to uh to.

1037
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 4: Contend with to leave, and then Peters kind of playing

1038
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 4: in his rightful spot is going to be tough for

1039
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 4: a guy like Dorset to win against.

1040
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 3: All right, let's uh, let's talk a little bit about

1041
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 3: some props. I've been writing a lot of prop pieces

1042
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl. As I mentioned last podcast, we

1043
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 3: had Sean Corner on to talk about his favorite player props,

1044
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 3: and Chris, I want to bring you in to the

1045
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 3: conversation so we can get your favorite props for Super

1046
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 3: Bowl fifty three, some player props, maybe some of the

1047
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 3: entertainment props.

1048
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: What is catching your eye right now?

1049
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 4: Well, I'll start off with one that Sony Michelle. There's

1050
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 4: a prop out there. His receptions zero point five, so

1051
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 4: essentially no right or will he not?

1052
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: Now?

1053
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 4: For the season, he has quart a pass in seven games.

1054
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 4: He has not quarter pass in eight games. But if

1055
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 4: you look at I've actually run the correlations on this

1056
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 4: and to try to find the most appropriate sample size

1057
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 4: for different volume stats, and it turns out that for

1058
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 4: pretty much across the board, you're kind of looking at

1059
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 4: somewhere in that five to six game range in terms

1060
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 4: of what's most predictive. And over the last six games,

1061
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 4: Michelle has only been targeted once. And so I really

1062
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 4: liked the under on that point five receptions. I'm seeing

1063
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 4: it at minus one forty, but I'd actually go a

1064
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 4: little bit higher than that as well. I just that

1065
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 4: there's a really there's not a there's not a very

1066
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 4: strong chance that Michelle is going to get to get targeted.

1067
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 4: That's just not what he's been that's not what he's

1068
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 4: been asked for whatever reason this year, you know, especially

1069
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 4: now you know Burkehead's back, and that kind of coincides

1070
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 4: with Burkhead as well.

1071
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. The return of

1072
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 3: Burkehead really SAPs the ability that Michelle has to get

1073
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 3: those just kind of like vestigial random targets that that

1074
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 3: you know, like they're not really even thinking of like,

1075
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 3: oh we need to target Michelle, It's just something that

1076
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 3: randomly happens during the game.

1077
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 1: Those aren't going to him anymore. Those are going to Burkehead.

1078
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and so you know, and and just for comparison,

1079
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 4: you know, over those last six games, Michelle targeted once.

1080
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 2: James Devlin's actually been targeted four.

1081
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: Times in different painful If there.

1082
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 4: Is a problem like who's more likely to catch a

1083
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 4: pass between Devwin or or Michelle, I haven't seen that

1084
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 4: out there, but that's all how would also go. Uh so, yeah,

1085
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 4: so that's one and then another one kind of goes

1086
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 4: back to what we.

1087
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: Talked about before. I like Brandon cooks under five and

1088
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 2: a half receptions.

1089
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 4: I just think when you look at what the Patriots

1090
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 4: have been able to do down the stretch against receivers,

1091
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 4: especially against these kind.

1092
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: Of big play guys.

1093
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 4: They got burned by Tyreek Hill earlier in the year,

1094
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 4: and then they also had some struggles against Corey Davis,

1095
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 4: and it just seems like when they went into that

1096
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 4: buy and they came out of it, they just weren't

1097
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 4: giving up that type of production to these playmakers anymore.

1098
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 4: I mean, you had Robbie Anderson, they faced him a

1099
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 4: couple of times. He catches two passes on five targets

1100
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 4: for twenty two yards. In the first meeting in week seventeen,

1101
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 4: when he was a very popular DFS play catches three

1102
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 4: passes on eight targets for twenty four yards. Mentioned Antonio

1103
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 4: Brown four catches for forty.

1104
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 2: Nine yards and a touchdown for him.

1105
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 4: You had Adam Feeln only five catches twenty eight yards

1106
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 4: in a touchdown. Judrew four catches blow his average. I mean,

1107
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill the one catch last week, keenan al On

1108
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 4: the two catches the week before. Just a lot of guys,

1109
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 4: main playmakers for their team have not been able to

1110
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 4: get a lot of volume I don't like the yardage

1111
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 4: one as much because I think that there's always a

1112
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 4: chance that even on low volume, Cooks can make a

1113
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 4: big play and he's fast enough to run by somebody,

1114
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: or there could be a blown coverage or something like that.

1115
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 4: But I think that with the RAMS probably focusing a

1116
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 4: little bit on the run game, and with the way

1117
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 4: Belichick is likely going to defend Cooks, I feel pretty

1118
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 4: confident that he's not going to catch six balls.

1119
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: Okay, any others that you have in mind right now?

1120
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, So an entertainment prop that I really like, and

1121
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 4: I've been talking about this on I'll take that bet

1122
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 4: a couple of times.

1123
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 2: But there's a prop out there.

1124
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 4: Will Andre three thousand joined Big Boy on stage for

1125
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 4: the halftime show.

1126
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 2: No is minus four hundred, Yes is plus two fifty.

1127
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 4: You got to wait a little bit for No. But

1128
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 4: I really think that's a strong No. Number one, Andre

1129
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 4: three thousand. We were always wondering when is more music

1130
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 4: coming out? The reason he's not really he doesn't like

1131
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 4: to be in the limelight. He said as much in

1132
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 4: a GQ interview in twenty seventeen. Actually described struggling with

1133
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 4: social anxiety symptoms and on top of that, you just

1134
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 4: have the whole kind of social issues, you know, in

1135
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 4: the hip hop community and whatnot with you know, kind

1136
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 4: of the negative, negative reactions to artists white Big Boy

1137
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 4: and White Travis Scott even accepting to do that the

1138
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 4: halftime show in the first place.

1139
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,479
Speaker 2: So I think I don't think there's any way that.

1140
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 4: Andre three thousand is like inserting himself into that mess.

1141
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 4: This is a guy who once turned down a super

1142
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 4: Bowl halftime show because they wanted to cut his song short,

1143
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 4: because that's what they do at super Bowls. They're not

1144
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 4: going to let you play as a full, like five

1145
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 4: minute song. And he literally refused to do a show,

1146
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 4: a halftime show, just because of that. So I think

1147
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 4: there's no way that he is going to make a

1148
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 4: surprise appearance.

1149
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: I love it.

1150
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 3: I am taking notes, and I am betting that right

1151
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 3: after we get off of this podcast.

1152
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, good show. It's it's the end. I

1153
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: want to say, it's end of an era. It's just

1154
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: it's the end of the season. You know, it's a

1155
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: we got through it good.

1156
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 4: I mean we had we had a very interesting show here.

1157
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned getting haircuts before me.

1158
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 3: Yes, what are the odds that I would have mentioned

1159
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 3: getting a haircut before you.

1160
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, but Na, man, it's been good

1161
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 4: and UH been loving talking to you.

1162
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna keep doing the show. So yeah, we're

1163
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: not going anywhere. I'm just gonna be more focused.

1164
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 4: Like you said, we'll do talk about futures and you

1165
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 4: will obviously recap the Super Bowl probably, but yeah, we'll

1166
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 4: talk about futures and all that good stuff, getting to

1167
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 4: more Fantasy beast Ball and all that good stuff.

1168
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 3: All right, So for the rest of this week, you

1169
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 3: have the Slate Breakdown coming out at Fantasy Labs. Any

1170
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 3: other pieces you were planning on putting out before the

1171
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 3: Super Bowl.

1172
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm gonna have a bunch.

1173
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have one on a keep to Leave and

1174
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 4: kind of his effect, a little more of what I

1175
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 4: talked about. Gonna have one on the w TWEE TF

1176
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 4: Rankins that I did last week. Going to have one

1177
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 4: just breaking down all of my favorite props, so I'll

1178
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 4: put more in than just these three. And one on

1179
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 4: just how the Patriot it have been scheming to take

1180
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 4: like not only one because we've always known.

1181
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 2: The Patriots to take one guy out of the game.

1182
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 4: But the fact that they've been able to take two

1183
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 4: guys out of the game multiple times down the stretch,

1184
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 4: I think is highly fascinating.

1185
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 2: So I'll have something on that as well. So look

1186
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 2: out for all of those.

1187
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,160
