00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:54.719
First up, he made his triumphant of the podcast last week.
30
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.439
He's stretching, he's getting ready to go. That would be
31
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.400
our guy, John.
32
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.040
We're ready, We're right to roll. We're just I'm so
33
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:09.080
excited to be back talking ball college football.
34
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.240
Last week, just a little bit of a tease NFL.
35
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.319
We're getting the nitty gritty, hearing people getting hurt in
36
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.479
camp today in joint practices.
37
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.840
This one's about, like, boy, are we getting hurt in
38
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:20.680
joint practices?
39
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.919
You know, I do have a surprise. I don't know
40
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.919
when that will happen, but I do have a surprise
41
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.159
at some point today. But I'd like to kick it
42
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.879
over other co hosts, Kevin Pierce, Kevin Pierce, how are
43
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:33.400
you doing?
44
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.000
Oh man? I couldn't be better. We're We're so back, gentlemen,
45
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.639
We're so back. It's football season. The air is a
46
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.840
little crisper, you soun's a little brighter. Food tastes a
47
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.280
little bit better, Like I love what. It's football season time.
48
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.360
I'm doing the NFL previews on my channels at k
49
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.479
Pierce TV. We're doing one every single day, so I'm
50
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.080
like deep into the preview grind right now. I can't
51
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:56.879
wait to get started with.
52
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:57.199
What you get.
53
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.520
Don't be don't be like rude about the seal, Like
54
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.280
that's all I asked.
55
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:02.360
Don't be like rude.
56
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.879
No do it. Do it.
57
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.840
The video is already out, y'all are both free to
58
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.280
watch it. It's already out. Ship I wasn't. I try
59
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.039
to be nice to seems, but I also gotta be realistic,
60
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.120
Like we'll get to the stealers when we do the
61
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.919
AFC nor today. But some thing's gotta be said.
62
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.080
Let's start.
63
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.439
I think we should start with the AFC West is
64
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.240
what I think we should do. I think it's something
65
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.800
I'm passionate about West in particular.
66
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.520
That's a weird, weird hill to be starting on, but okay,
67
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:39.159
let's do it.
68
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:40.240
Let's do it.
69
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:49.080
Let's talk about that a f C West. So let's
70
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.560
talk about let's just get right to what Peyton's got
71
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.240
an issue and why he wants this one to be
72
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.520
the first one.
73
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.039
I'm so sorry this is gonna be Yah. Just keep gone,
74
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.960
just gone, keep gone. Ignore me, all.
75
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.080
Right, ignoring Peyton. So with the AMC West, for me,
76
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.719
I think the most interesting team in this division is
77
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.160
once again Kansas City, but for different reasons. Kansas City
78
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.199
is the dynasty of this era. Right, Like we all
79
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.519
know Kansas City. We don't have to go through the
80
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.040
Super Bowl appearances, the MVPs, blah blah blah, and a
81
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.680
lot of that was done with what we would consider
82
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.160
under talented under man teams headed by the all time
83
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.319
gray head coach and the all time great quarterback. What
84
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.040
happens now that the all time gray head coach is
85
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.639
aging and the all time great quarterback has one and
86
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.920
a half legs, and we still have this under talented
87
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.120
team that, if you take the name off of it and
88
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.120
compare them to others, isn't a stacked mm hmm.
89
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.439
But let's let's say this, and when I look at
90
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.959
the AFC West, and particularly as we start talking about
91
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.680
the Kansas City Chiefs. The move to me that it
92
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.160
feels like makes them puts them right back in the
93
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.879
forefront is getting a Kenneth Walker. Because let's be honest,
94
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.160
if we've looked at these chief teams in the Patrick
95
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.399
Mahomes era, we can all kind of point to one
96
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:22.199
thing and say that's sort of been an issue for them.
97
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.399
They've had to rely on Patrick Mahomes's greatness because they
98
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.519
haven't had a guy, a stud running back that you
99
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.839
can trust. You've had to mix and match. And Isaiah
100
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.079
Pacheco is a great running back, don't get me wrong,
101
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.000
serviceable back, but not the every down back. And we
102
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.839
saw the impact of a Kenneth Walker. So now, like
103
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.600
you said, KP, you've got an age quarterback. An age
104
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.639
roster is not a camera off. That's awesome, but the
105
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.240
bit now you pray it with this really good running back,
106
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.959
and I think that's got to help to take some
107
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.360
of that load off of Patrick Mahomes this year. And
108
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:14.920
Peyton Girod I believe your surprises is what's what's happening here?
109
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:25.839
I don't know, honestly, Oh just no, yeah, I just
110
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.040
know I'll be tracking all of the picks I'll be
111
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.639
keeping a record you gentlemen.
112
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.720
Uh, and I look forward to making.
113
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.959
You all wrong in January.
114
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.199
That is the goal. And as always, love you guys
115
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.279
and enjoy the pod.
116
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:40.040
Keep it going.
117
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.800
Man, you're doing big things and I'm proud of you.
118
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.000
This guy understanding timing and anyway says, send me the
119
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:47.920
link immediately.
120
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.800
So I cued it up and then you guys, I need.
121
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.800
Five, and I'm like, that's why if you listened aback
122
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.680
about four minutes ago, I looked like an asshole. Dan.
123
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.000
I mean, you can't say I'm.
124
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.279
Ready to roll and then go give me five. That's crazy.
125
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.560
That's crazy. It's crazy. He can't. He just used the
126
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:12.519
secret entrances as he chooses to come and go, you know,
127
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.279
his comings and goings or whatever. But it's just yeah, whatever, now.
128
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.160
Hold on, hold on. But before we let you go, Dan,
129
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.439
great to see you, by the way, hope if I
130
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.759
get to see you in l A at the Super Bowl,
131
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.920
I would love. Let me ask this question. You listen
132
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.959
to the College Football Pod last week?
133
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:35.680
What? Uh?
134
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.079
What? What were your takes on our picks?
135
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.000
I feel like the game is wide open this year
136
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.839
from a from a top ten standpoint.
137
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:46.839
So so.
138
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.240
Truthfully, I thought everybody had their right to say their piece,
139
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.199
and I thought everybody had a reasonable claim to what
140
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.279
they felt was true. So we'll see how it plays
141
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:54.759
out this year.
142
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:56.000
He didn't listen to.
143
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.160
I can't guarantee you.
144
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.160
I can guarantee you right now, I won't feel the
145
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:03.639
same way about trying to fill pick Dave.
146
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.680
I can guarantee you.
147
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.839
Wait wait, wait, wait, why is this directed just to
148
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:08.439
me right now?
149
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.800
It's always directed that you know you.
150
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.120
You have had issues with me for a while, and
151
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.519
you know what, Here's here's a shitty park, Here's a
152
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.040
shitty park. I was just complimenting your team before you
153
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:19.639
hopped on.
154
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.120
I was the one who said the negative think about
155
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.680
the cheese before you hopped on. I said nothing, honest,
156
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:27.079
it was me.
157
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.519
I look forward to hearing the full podcast tomorrow when
158
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:32.960
you guys drop in the chat. You boys, have a
159
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.559
good night, God bless best of luck this year.
160
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:36.600
Appreciate you.
161
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.879
Did you see how he coach talks about like not
162
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.879
listening to the pod, like how he got out of.
163
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.600
That very clearly didn't listen to Dan's been doing that
164
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:47.559
since we were in college, though, Like go back and
165
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.399
listen to his quarterback interviews in college. That's fair, that's fair,
166
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.120
pr train man, you can't knock him off his square.
167
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.080
Unreal?
168
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.759
Well, he yeah, there's a I thought I was gonna
169
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.559
catch him writ when KP was dogging the Chiefs.
170
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.440
But I mean, who else?
171
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.399
Hold on, I get ripped and I'm complimenting the Chiefs?
172
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.039
Now?
173
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.519
Did I say that I don't think their defense is
174
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:20.000
near as good? You know? I mean opinions that Now
175
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:26.600
I'm not complimenting the Chiefs anymore. Damnit. He pissed me off. Unbelievable.
176
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.559
Have you ever heard the Falcons?
177
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.200
We're gonna We're going to get to the Falcons shore.
178
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.559
But Dave was like, was it the Falcons?
179
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:36.279
Was?
180
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:37.080
Was it the Saints?
181
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.240
I'm trying to remember what it was, but there was
182
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.440
one where you were in on a team, like.
183
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:43.279
In on a team.
184
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.159
No, it was the Saints.
185
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.240
I had him going to that was what it was?
186
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:52.960
Was last year? Yeah, I was. I was riding very
187
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:53.879
on the Saints.
188
00:09:53.960 --> 00:10:00.360
And was that Brady's first year in Tampa? Yeah, my
189
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.559
memory serves correctly. So the greatest quarterback ever to ever
190
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:05.879
live moved his division.
191
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.279
Got it is that the same year.
192
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.120
I'm pretty sure that's the same year because U Brees's
193
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.039
last game was losing a Brady in the Superdome.
194
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.600
You know what. You know what I'm gonna.
195
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.480
Say, the last game. I thought his last game was
196
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.039
losing the Kirk Cousins in the playoffs that year before that.
197
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:23.639
That was a year before they.
198
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.399
Yeah, that was so depressedly for him. Okay, I think
199
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.200
we figured it out. But yeah, Dave, historically, it's just
200
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.159
your missus are so memorable. They're so big in non world,
201
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.720
but you take swings more than most of us.
202
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.639
So I always applaud that Dan.
203
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.039
Dan doesn't remember the wins.
204
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.279
He'll never remember the.
205
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.399
Wins, you know what.
206
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.200
Back to the AFC wets, back to the NFC West,
207
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.519
which I'm not that passionate about.
208
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.320
Let me clarify, I don't believe not that passionate about it.
209
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:56.720
The chiefs.
210
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:01.279
I agree with both of you to an extent, Kenneth Walker,
211
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:04.679
if you use him right, I mean, honestly, the biggest
212
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.879
thing is is that a line actually legit. This year
213
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.759
they keep adding, they keep giving more money into it.
214
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.679
It doesn't ever seem like it's getting that much better.
215
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.679
I keep hearing it's better but you know what better,
216
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.559
it's like the Chargers.
217
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.360
I would say the Chargers in the Chiefs are in
218
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.039
the same boat where you've invested a lot in making
219
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.720
the offensive lines better. But then I watched the games
220
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.799
and I'm just like, they're just now in fairness, the
221
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.000
Chargers injury bug. It's an impressive.
222
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:36.399
Room.
223
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:38.919
Yeah, you gotta give him a little bit of slack
224
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:39.639
for last year.
225
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.039
Last year, they actually, that's funny enough, the two worst
226
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.080
offensive lines in the league were both in this division
227
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.440
last year. One of them was injured, the other one
228
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.639
just sucked, and that was the Raiders. And if y'all
229
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.480
will allow me just one minute here, the Raiders can't
230
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.679
possibly get worse, right, Like, there's no they could be
231
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.720
worse than they were last year. They want to combine
232
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.480
seven games in two years, and now here we are,
233
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.919
new rooky quarterback, new head coach, offensive line, has improved,
234
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.000
defense pending.
235
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.919
I don't think. Here's what I say about the Raiders.
236
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.000
They're gonna finish in last Oh yeah, I don't. I
237
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.879
don't foresee them winning a lot of games, but it's
238
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:23.720
gonna be that sort of one. You're gonna be looking
239
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.799
at scores and flipping around on Sunday tickets on Sundays,
240
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.279
and you're gonna go, damn, there they are the they
241
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.279
were then a score like they're gonna be that. They're
242
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.600
gonna exactly, They're gonna be that team where you just
243
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:38.159
sit there and go They're not good, but they're competitive
244
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.399
as hell, like you have to you have to play.
245
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.879
You can't play down to them because they can pick
246
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.720
you off. So you have to play a pretty clean game.
247
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.320
Because they got some playmakers.
248
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.120
They're gonna pick one. They're gonna pick some team off
249
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.159
that they shouldn't have hold on. Let me pull up
250
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.559
their schedule right now to see who the team's gonna be.
251
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.399
Watch it be my damn Patriots again in October, like
252
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.440
the moment I thought.
253
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.159
Yeah, what's up with that? What's up with that?
254
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:02.879
These days?
255
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.159
Is that like the new Miami? Is that the new thing?
256
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.399
One new thing?
257
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.759
Like how like you guys would always.
258
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.399
Like lose down in Miami, not like every time, but like.
259
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.759
Somebody else pretty something would go wrong like whatever, But
260
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.440
like it feels like every time you go to Las Vegas,
261
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.240
like even when the last couple of years of Bill
262
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.039
just went fucking ship for some reason.
263
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:25.399
Do I wish I had an answer for you. Last
264
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.159
year was the most inexplicable. The team that went to
265
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.519
the Super Bowl for the AFC lost to the literal
266
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.960
worst team in football. I still don't know how that
267
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.480
happened to his very day, and I rewatched the game
268
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.840
when I was doing my previous still don't make sense.
269
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.919
I think they'll be better though, I think, uh. I
270
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:49.000
think honestly, Like I know it's preseason, okay. For a
271
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:53.679
first drive, he looked like confident, like he's like not guessing,
272
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.440
like I'm throwing this. I think he's a smart kid.
273
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.559
I think for sure, and honestly it'll turn out to be.
274
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.440
Kirk cousins signing was ended up being probably the best
275
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.320
thing for him, like learning the game and things like that.
276
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.759
Well, I was gonna say, I think having Kirk Cousins
277
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.320
there is tremendous in terms of you don't have to
278
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.759
rush Mendoza because again, they're not going anywhere this year,
279
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.120
so it's not like you have this big expectations that
280
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.919
Mendoza's gonna come in and fix everything. Kirk Cousins looked
281
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.039
very serviceable in his drive with the starters. He fits
282
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.679
Clint Kubiak's system well in terms of the type of
283
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.639
quarterback to Kubiakla like, so to me, it makes it
284
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.519
makes perfect sense. And I can see Kirk starting all year.
285
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.559
I mean the question with Cousins now is just.
286
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.440
Tom Brady ain't gonna go Mister Brady doesn't go.
287
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:49.440
For that all. Mister Brady, I.
288
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.759
Said, Kirk Cousins is cooking like they're winning like ten
289
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.559
games if the Raiders. If he's starting all year long,
290
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:57.279
I would.
291
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.639
Actually bet you to say, I bet you Aiden O'Connell.
292
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:00.320
I don't know how.
293
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.720
I don't know how it happens that guy will.
294
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.440
Start a game. He always starts a game.
295
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.360
Always, he's always at least usually against the Chiefs.
296
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.919
It usually is there's something wrong.
297
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.200
I do have one question, why doesn't Kirk Cousins just
298
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.639
become a coach at this point?
299
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.159
No, he's going to TV money.
300
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.240
Really, he's gonna go to CBS as soon as he's done.
301
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.200
They don't put him in the NFL today.
302
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.080
Yeah, kp' right. People keep giving him money, but like
303
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.080
the transitions, like, I don't feel like he would be
304
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:34.879
a TV guy.
305
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:36.440
Am I crazy and thinking that?
306
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.919
I mean, he's given a couple insightful press conferences, and
307
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.159
I feel like we don't really see these athletes full
308
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.240
personalities until they're on TV. I mean even when coaches.
309
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:51.360
Your old coach, Mike Tomlin been showing, been showing all
310
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.360
thirty two teeth every time I see him. I can't
311
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.399
tell you the last time he smiled on the sideline
312
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.720
that boy season. Every time I see him on.
313
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.679
The guy, the guy was built for this. He was
314
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.080
built to do this after coaching.
315
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.879
He was like, No, I didn't know he was this
316
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.879
happy though, Like I'm used to the scow was. I
317
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:10.799
was telling someone the other day, We're never seeing Mike
318
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.320
tom with a headset on ever again. Like he's done. No,
319
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.679
he looks like he finally sleeps eight hours. Looks Okay.
320
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.240
Before we get too off topic, af C West.
321
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.440
Who wins it?
322
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:32.639
Okay, Broncos'. I'm not going to ruin later segments in
323
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.799
this podcast, but I'm just gonna say I'm really high
324
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.759
on the Broncos.
325
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.960
Are you okay? This is a good question because I
326
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.879
know where you usually stand with quarterbacks. Bone next, like,
327
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.919
where do you like do you think that's because like
328
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.720
I don't get. That's where I don't get because I
329
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.960
don't think you're in on bone next, but you're like
330
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.039
in the day can make a run and I get
331
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.039
the defense John Payton blah blahlah blah.
332
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.559
But like, I feel like that usually deserves you from.
333
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.600
Going in on its team.
334
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.559
If I don't trust So, I don't get that he
335
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.920
just won fourteen games last year. Yeah, So it's just
336
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.279
the games and bow Nick stat that I found in
337
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.880
my research that fucked me up. Sorry, I'm really trying
338
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:16.480
not to curse on these anymore, but here we are.
339
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:18.119
Gives a fuck?
340
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.279
I no, no not, I try for me not to curse.
341
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:23.519
What a.
342
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:25.279
Yeah?
343
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.960
I try, I try, I'm saying for me. But you know,
344
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.279
of all those quarterbacks taken in the twenty twenty four
345
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.240
or whatever year that was first round, Kayleb Williams, Drake May,
346
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:39.279
Jane and Daniels, Pennix, JJ McCarthy, whoever, all those in
347
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.799
the first round, right, you know, bow Knicks leads them
348
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:46.799
in every meaningful category wins, passing yards, passing, touchdowns, EPA
349
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.640
for play, like, he leads in everything. So as bad
350
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:55.559
as we think he is, he's doing something right up there.
351
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:58.079
I think he'll be better this year now that he
352
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.119
has an actual number one receiver in Jayleen. I mean,
353
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:05.119
it's only year three for the guy, Like what, Yeah,
354
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:08.160
the arrow's supposed to be pointing up and he only
355
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.640
needs to be Sam Donald good to get this team
356
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.720
to the super Bowl. Like we just saw this formula
357
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.960
work with Seattle last year.
358
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.960
Yeah, that's fair. I just I just I think there's
359
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.000
something about me, like I don't completely in him. I
360
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.359
don't like Sean Payton.
361
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.640
And I feel like at the end of I feel
362
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.839
like there's still that beef.
363
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:26.519
Like do you guys remember how there was kind of
364
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.519
a little something going on between them the end of
365
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.079
the year with the ankle, like had that whole thing down,
366
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.480
Like they're seeing like they didn't like each other, and
367
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:35.119
at the end of the year.
368
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.000
Obviously that whole thing was strange.
369
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.640
Yeah, and I feel like it just never got resolved,
370
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.759
or at least we don't know it got resolved, and
371
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.720
they're just moving on and it feels like that can't last.
372
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.720
If they didn't actually put it to bed. That can't work.
373
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:49.440
I mean, if we look up week six and they're
374
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.920
like three and three, then we know something went wrong.
375
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.799
But oh, Sean Payton will take that play calling back Sheeta.
376
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.480
Oh, I think that's gonna happen regardless, but they could
377
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:01.119
be sick. They can six and h and Seann will
378
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:02.920
be like, you know what I missed calling place? Give
379
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.240
me the place right now.
380
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.359
Uh. For me, it's Denver's roster is just so complete
381
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.799
us that whether weather your questions about bo Nicks, whatever
382
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:20.279
they are, it's too good of a team not to
383
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.279
pick them to win the AFC West and be bullish
384
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.599
on them now. I think Kansas City gives them a
385
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.319
push this year because of the addition of having a
386
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:30.240
good run game.
387
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.440
The Chargers.
388
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.599
I just I don't buy the hype with the Chargers.
389
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.559
I made an entire video saying I'm not doing the
390
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:39.559
Chargers hype this year.
391
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:40.319
I'm not doing it.
392
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.920
I refuse, I'm not doing it. I'm not entertaining. I
393
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.359
was gonna thank you all if we got out of
394
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.200
this segment and didn't have to talk about the Chargers
395
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.319
like I'm not doing it now.
396
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.000
Don't get me don't get me wrong. I'm not one
397
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.200
of these Justin hur isn't that good of a quarterback.
398
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:58.200
He's a great quarterback. This is just when I look
399
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.920
at the roster, I just don't love what I see
400
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:07.640
around him. I think if the offensive line stays healthy,
401
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:13.400
the offense is going to be good. Defensively remains to
402
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.920
be seen because so much of what happened with the Chargers.
403
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.039
You have to wonder defensively, is that because of Jesse
404
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.960
Minter and Ken can it work with the new scheme?
405
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.319
So there's too many questions with them. Where I feel
406
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.799
a little bit better about the Chiefs, and I definitely
407
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.799
feel good enough about the Broncos to say number one.
408
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.400
I'll be going to the Chiefs. I'm loyalist today. I die so.
409
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.559
I love Dan too, But come on.
410
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.599
Now, loyalists. They've paid, They've paid for the years.
411
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.680
You know what? After his comment, no, I cannot. I
412
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.759
cannot ride with the Dan Williams.
413
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:54.599
Where are we going next, gentlemen.
414
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:56.319
Let's go to the South?
415
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:58.839
Yeah, I mean.
416
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.440
The sneak best division in football.
417
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.359
No, I'm not doing that sneaky.
418
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.000
I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this. The race
419
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.920
at the top between the two teams that I have
420
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.640
is gonna be fun to watch. With the Texans and
421
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:19.440
the Jaguars, I think Tennessee. Tennessee has a chance to
422
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.400
be good. I don't think that they're going to be,
423
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.279
but they have the chance. I ain't good. I think
424
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:28.839
good is a six win team for them.
425
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.559
Okay, so the same thing we feel about the Raiders.
426
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.319
Yes, yeah, pain in pain in the butt team that
427
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.480
you sit there and go, Okay, they're going trending upward.
428
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:44.039
This was the start of the upward trend with them.
429
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:48.799
I the team I don't love in this divisions the Colts.
430
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.680
Oh, Chris is getting fired.
431
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:58.440
I can almost talk myself into a scenario where maybe
432
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.359
Tennessee finishes ahead of them and the Colts are the
433
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:02.319
worst team in the South.
434
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.519
I tried to get there when I was doing the previews.
435
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.640
But here's the thing. Yes, the Colts got off to
436
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.319
that winning streak to start the year, and that was
437
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:13.960
like the thing. Oh, they won a lot of games
438
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.279
and Daniel Jones got hurt than their season fall apart.
439
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.200
That tells some of the story. But what we've really
440
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.720
got to remember is they were beating the life out
441
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.000
of teams to start that season. So even if they're
442
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.799
like seventy percent of that with a fully healthy squad
443
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.680
for the rest of the year, that could be a
444
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.599
wildcard team. Now, as Dave said before, the top two
445
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:40.200
teams in this conference of top two teams in this
446
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.359
division are one of them. He shoulders better head and
447
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.319
shoulders better than everyone else, and they could be in
448
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:47.839
contention for the one seed for all we know. But like,
449
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.839
wh when I look at the Colts, I think there's
450
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.240
something there that can sneak them into the playoffs. Something there.
451
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:57.839
I wouldn't say bottom of the division.
452
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.039
I well, you just keep running Jonathan Taylor into the
453
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:05.960
m v P instead of pulling the punch there.
454
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.359
So like that was I mean, he was winning MVP.
455
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.519
Touchdowns before.
456
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.519
Yeah, I mean it was like like, if we're gonna lose,
457
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.680
at least get him thirty touchdowns or something like that.
458
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.839
Right, there's something that I agree with, Dave.
459
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.160
I don't.
460
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:23.200
I don't love the Colts.
461
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.160
Tyler Warren had a groin injury today.
462
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:28.640
That feels like that's gonna be like popping up every
463
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:34.000
other week for me. I kind of looked at it.
464
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:35.640
I heard Bill Simmons and I'm not like the biggest
465
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.440
Bill Simmons guy today, but he had a good point,
466
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.920
like the pressure on CJ. Stroud to do well this
467
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.759
year feels important because like I think, like you're in
468
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.400
if you're Damika Ryans.
469
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.200
You have to make a decision at some point when
470
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.759
you look.
471
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:54.359
At the defense, you're like, hey, we got all these
472
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:57.839
guys back here, we're wasting some time here, well Anderson,
473
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.799
you know, Derek Singley, all these like we can't be
474
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.880
wasting these opportunities with us on the back end here.
475
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.440
But like CD Stroud, I don't know what it is.
476
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.839
It's just like he just isn't taking a step forward anymore.
477
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:16.319
It just feels like stagnant. Can I defend him a
478
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:16.799
little bit?
479
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.839
I the line that's what you're gonna say.
480
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:21.039
I'll hear it.
481
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:23.920
And the run game, yeah, And I.
482
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:28.039
Think David MANDONI will fix that a little bit, but
483
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:29.039
he's not the youngest.
484
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:29.640
No.
485
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:34.160
Well, at the end of the day, losing Joe Mixon
486
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.720
last year really set them back. But I do think
487
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:43.880
there's a there's a level of criticism that should go
488
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:45.759
to c J. Stroud. And you talk to some people
489
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:51.240
around the league, and Aaron Wilson, who's a friend from
490
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.480
Houston who covers the Texans, thinks that some of it's
491
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.960
a little unfounded, the criticisms of CJ. Stroud. So I
492
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:01.839
lean f fifty there is some that needs to be
493
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:03.920
put at as foot. I think there's a lot that
494
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.720
needs to be put at Nick Cassiria's foot because I
495
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:12.400
haven't understood some of his decisions offensively in terms of
496
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:18.519
skill positions. I don't think you adequately handled the Joe
497
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:19.440
Mixon situation.
498
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:25.279
Well huh, Jadan Higgins out for the game too.
499
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:28.440
That I mean you're taking a gamble the tank. Dell's
500
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:32.240
gonna come back and be anywhere remotely close Like Nick
501
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.119
Casario in terms of like the offensive line has not
502
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:39.079
made some great decisions, So I think there's some criticism there.
503
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:44.119
Stroud in fairness played up in Foxborough in the conditions
504
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:46.880
that's hard to do. But we've seen a pattern here
505
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:49.839
with him that it hasn't been great. But I will
506
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:54.839
say this team is enough to get by with him
507
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.119
being an average quarterback. The question that the Texans have
508
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.400
to ask is can they swallow him being an average quarterback?
509
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.119
If they can, then this team's fine. If they can't,
510
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.680
then that's where these conversations come in. I think CJ.
511
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:14.160
Stroud's gonna bounce back. I really do. I think that
512
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:19.000
he there's still enough signs with him that the playmaking
513
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:24.799
is there for me to say he's gonna be okay.
514
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:28.799
But I mean, I can also see where you guys
515
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.480
have talked about that, Hey, we get halfway through the year,
516
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.839
he's not playing well to make O'Ryan's there's super Bowl
517
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:39.680
aspirations on this team, and it's to make if maka
518
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.839
Ryans feels like their window is short, then yeah, this
519
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:46.920
is a conversation about CJ. Shroud that will happen. But
520
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:50.160
I think Stroud bounces back a little bit and I
521
00:26:50.160 --> 00:26:53.279
think has a strong year. I just think Jacksonville's gonna
522
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:56.559
push him because I have loved what the Jaguars have done.
523
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:01.279
Same. I'm curious about that raft class because you remember,
524
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.880
like everyone was dogging it that it was the worst
525
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.799
draft class of all.
526
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:06.960
I think.
527
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.799
Our draft experts said it was one of the weirdest classes,
528
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.720
like he's ever seen. I believe was what God I'm
529
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:21.839
blanking on our boy. Ian ian Ian was saying like
530
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.400
he couldn't understand half the moves they made. And I'm
531
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.359
very curious to see how that pans out for him
532
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.880
this year. But I mean, I mean, I think it's
533
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:35.160
Jaguars to lose right now. They momentum. It seems like
534
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:39.480
Liam Cohen has an offense that runs well for the
535
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:43.319
first time in Trevor Lawrence's probably career. But I think also,
536
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.240
I'll say it in the same vein of CJ. Shrub,
537
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:48.799
I think he needs to prove some pit I think
538
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.319
he's gone enough of not winning or like, you know,
539
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.160
the whole Chargers playoff game that was cute, that was
540
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:58.640
like three years ago. Now what have you done for
541
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:02.519
me lately now? Like that, I think I think it's
542
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:05.000
a fair question asked if we're gonna say the same
543
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:07.960
things about c J. Stroud that you know he gets
544
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.759
a pass, it seems like and it's like, well, I'm
545
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.680
kind of over giving everybody a pass at this point
546
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:16.759
from that class he was gone, said.
547
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:20.119
I'm kind of with you, like, I'm kind of tired
548
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:24.400
outside of maybe one quarterback, I'm sick of giving people passes,
549
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:27.279
like nah, it's time to put it's put up a
550
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.240
shut up time for a lot of you. Like and
551
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.400
with the Jaguars draft class right now, now that you
552
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.680
bring it up, I remember that conversation with Ian. They
553
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:37.440
picked up my man, Emanuel Pregnant, who I thought was
554
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:39.799
maybe the best guard in the draft, and they got
555
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:42.319
him in a third round maybe he ran over someone's
556
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.559
dog or something, and I didn't know about it until
557
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.000
the day of draft time. But with the Jaguars, I
558
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.400
kind of feel the same about their offense that I
559
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:54.000
feel about the Texans defense. Like the Texans defense might
560
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.839
be the best, is the best unit in this division,
561
00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.680
but the Jaguars offense is not too far behind. They
562
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.240
would be higher if I could figure out what they're
563
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.599
gonna do to run the rock. Yeah, the offensive line
564
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:07.200
is good enough to run the rock. I just don't
565
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.400
know if they have a breakaway home run hitting running
566
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.759
back on the roster. Maybe they find him, but I
567
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.519
just don't think he's there right now, and that's why
568
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:18.799
I would pick the Texans over the Jaguars as it
569
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.640
currently stands.
570
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:24.119
Also, Brian Thomas Junior taking a step back last year
571
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:25.119
is still odd to me.
572
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:28.359
He'll be on another team before the season's over.
573
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:29.599
Yeah, what's that.
574
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:35.359
I don't get that. I don't understand. It seems odd.
575
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.440
Just after that first year he had was like, holy shit,
576
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.640
get this guy the ball every time he can. And
577
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:43.000
then you find a guy like Parker Washington, You're like,
578
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:47.960
he could be used more. He's less expensive, he's good
579
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:51.279
at football. Maybe we don't need to go to BTJ
580
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.680
anymore as much, and it just seems odd. I don't
581
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:55.400
know what that is.
582
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:58.640
Also, they drafted Travis Hunter, who they swear is gonna
583
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.400
play full time both sides. I still don't know how
584
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.920
they're gonna make this work. But if he ends up
585
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:05.759
being as good as a receiver as it looked like
586
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:08.240
he was gonna be before he got hurt, there's only
587
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:10.640
but so many targets to go around. Guys. They also
588
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:14.440
haverbby Myers like someone's gonna get voted off the island
589
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:19.279
and it's gonna be Brian Thomas Jr. And why why that?
590
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.480
I don't get that he's going to what year three?
591
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:22.839
Now?
592
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:24.799
Yes, your three?
593
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.720
That seems crazy.
594
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.160
I don't know.
595
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.559
All right, let's go. Let's go to the AFC North.
596
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:35.599
Can we start with Peyton's team, because Peyton I got
597
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:38.880
a question, Yeah, what the hell are the Steelers doing?
598
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.519
Like what are y'all like, what's what's the what's the
599
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.559
goal this year? Because I know you're tied to the
600
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.759
winning seasons and losing in the first round of the
601
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.000
playoffs with Tomlins, But this is not a playoff team.
602
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.759
This is not a playoff roster. You got a slightly
603
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.720
worse coach, and you're not gonna convince me that Steelers
604
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.039
fans are gonna be happier going seven to ten, and
605
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.000
then they weren't going nine to eight, ten and seven, Like,
606
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:05.680
you're just not gonna and this isn't a tank worthy
607
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.279
roster either, So what are the Steelers doing?
608
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:16.640
Thank you for your question. I believe you're correct, and
609
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.279
it's what I've been saying. Everyone keeps saying they don't
610
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:24.519
want to do the first round exit thing, but if
611
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:27.839
we go seven to nine, people will lose.
612
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:31.440
Their shit and I will call a spade fade. Those
613
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:33.680
people were lying, they were lying.
614
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.559
They're all lying.
615
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:39.240
I do think though, I just think there's something. This
616
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:40.319
is gonna be a test.
617
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.680
And I've said this before of like where was Mike
618
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:45.960
tom How great was Mike Tomins for these rosters that
619
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:48.920
were kind of on the bubble of being first round
620
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.839
exits a light below five hundred? Is it? Is it
621
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.039
something like an organization that helps them do that? Is
622
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.240
it just the people that when you come into that
623
00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:04.240
team like some But I don't know why I think this.
624
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:09.000
I just think if you can keep Robin selfie and
625
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:12.640
I swear to God, like someone needs to call somebody,
626
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:16.000
like pull somebody aside Maceon Rudolf cannot be the number
627
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:19.599
two guy. I'd rather I'd rather be one of the rookies.
628
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.319
Like I'm over Mason Rudoff going in like as the backup. God,
629
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.359
he's more immobile than Rogers, and that's fascinating.
630
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.119
We should talk about that a little bit.
631
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:33.640
It's it's it's unbelievable for a guy that has both
632
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.200
his achilles, both of these and he just keeps dropping
633
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.880
back or stays in the pocket. Move, you gotta move,
634
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.599
You're gonna It's like in a war movie. You gotta
635
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.279
keep moving.
636
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.599
We're gonna die. We gotta You're gonna be.
637
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:51.079
Collapsed here, Like it's crazy. I do think it's very interesting.
638
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:54.680
It feels like the team is set up for whoever's next.
639
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.160
Like you got the receivers, you're you're trying to build
640
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.119
an offensive line, you have some in the defense. Like
641
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.920
it feels like this team is built for whoever's going
642
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.759
to inherit this team next.
643
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.200
I don't know what that means. If that's gonna be
644
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:09.519
a Will Howard.
645
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:11.799
I really just hope it's not Drew Aller because I'm
646
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:14.720
not prepared for the memes and I was really upset
647
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.640
with this is fucked up. I was upset with how
648
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:19.200
well he did in the preseason game.
649
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:21.640
Is that bad? Is that like wrong?
650
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.480
That's wrong of me?
651
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.599
Right, it's so much because I just I can't stand him.
652
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:27.640
I think it's the Penn State thing, and I want
653
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:29.720
Will Howard to do that because it's just easier to
654
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:34.240
do it. Seems like a much more likable guy. I
655
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:36.960
think they go ten to seven. I don't know how
656
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.559
it doesn't. It's like last year. We said the same
657
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:41.720
thing last year. If I told you the Seers were
658
00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:43.920
gonna win ANFC North last year, you would have said,
659
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.799
no way. And they did. They find a way. It
660
00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:47.359
doesn't matter.
661
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.880
It's like a cockroach, mister bomb, mister find a ways
662
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:53.240
on NBC right now, my guy. That's kind of my
663
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:53.880
whole point.
664
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:56.440
Yeah, but I'm saying is I think the organization is
665
00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:59.200
built to be They're all mister find a way. I
666
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.599
don't know how that makes sense. It's just like.
667
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.319
I'm trying to think of like a comparison, like.
668
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:09.199
I don't really know if there is one actually, matter
669
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.159
of fact, because I guess no one's really been about
670
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.920
five hundred. That's fucking long in a row.
671
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.639
But it was Dragon rosters that had no business in
672
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.360
the playoffs.
673
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:20.519
Well you could, I guess you could say what Phil
674
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.440
Power did that a little bit at times he made
675
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.039
teams better, and he did they probably shouldn't win as
676
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.880
far as they did, or also do the same thing
677
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.280
as Tom and a roster should have probably went further
678
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:33.320
than they fucking blew at times. They both did that
679
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.400
couple of times. But there's just something about it or
680
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.079
something about them. I don't like Mike McCarthy. I don't
681
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:42.280
think I'll ever be in on that idea. I think
682
00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:45.159
that was the lame choice. You had so many cool
683
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.519
options as a young coach to redo it and go
684
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.719
on like an eighteen year run again with somebody do
685
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:55.239
what you do. But I just see how they're I
686
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.880
don't know how, but they're gonna win ten games, Dave.
687
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:01.960
They're the third team in the division.
688
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:04.960
If you say the Bengals will fucking kill you, because
689
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:09.360
there's no fucking reason I'll say this. I'm over Joe
690
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.320
Burrow a little bit too, and his little him and
691
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.719
him Jamar Chase and Tea against They're great, What the
692
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:18.519
fuck else do you got? They haven't done ship, they
693
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:22.159
keep getting hurt, they keep losing games. I'll be back
694
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:22.719
next year.
695
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:24.920
They're win They'll win twelve games this year.
696
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:27.920
Did you know they're over under for wins and losses
697
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.440
is higher than the Ravens this year.
698
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:30.800
That's crazy to make.
699
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.159
Doesn't as a rape and as a Ravens fan, that
700
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:36.440
should piss you off, because Dave, as you know, that
701
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.079
team never does shit.
702
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:39.960
Zach Taylor, bad coach.
703
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:43.000
Someday they're gonna wake up realize that that guy should
704
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:45.239
be fired. We should get a real coach in there.
705
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.519
That guy stinks at what he does, and he just
706
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:51.920
wins enough games and say, oh we lost their quarterback.
707
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:54.800
Oh well we did this, Joe Burrow. I mean, let's
708
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:56.880
go to week one. That guy never wins Week one.
709
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:59.679
They'll be starting to zhen one. Who they play? Who's
710
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.119
play Week one? Congrats you want to know Baker Mayfield,
711
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:07.079
Congrats you've already won the game. They'll suck. He'll throw
712
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.039
three picks, four touchdowns and a billion yards, and we'll
713
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:13.119
go look at that guy, the number third quarterback in
714
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.559
the NFL. He hasn't won more than ten games in
715
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.079
like forty years. It feels like, but you know, let's
716
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:20.599
keep pushing him along because he's Joe Burrow.
717
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.559
And you know, I like, I would love Joe Burrow more.
718
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.360
If he left that team and will Gop and realized
719
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:27.519
they don't give a shit about you. No one cares
720
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.559
about you. With this team, they're losers, just like Cleveland.
721
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.400
It's Bengels Steelers till the day I die. That's it.
722
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:37.760
Thank you, Ravens win this division. I mean this is
723
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.840
their division to lose.
724
00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:41.519
That's that's a fair way to say it.
725
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.079
Something has to go wrong for the Ravens not to
726
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:44.480
win this.
727
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:48.719
Tyler gonna make the roster heard he's still miss him.
728
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.679
I think we I think we can make more kicks
729
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.400
than Tyler Lup at this point, Like every time I'll
730
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:55.559
look up at Ravens training camp, he's sending it to
731
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:59.760
the fans like it makes no keeps breaking these joints.
732
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:03.800
It's very possible they have a different kicker. And you know,
733
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:07.360
to an extent, they've had such a good track record
734
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.199
that like the way the NFL is, eventually they were
735
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.840
gonna it was good like regress back to the mean,
736
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.760
Like you can't hit one thousand every single.
737
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:23.719
Time, you can't have a Hall of Famer. Well exactly, Well,
738
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:24.880
what's gonna be.
739
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:29.239
A well not in Massage Parlors.
740
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.440
Well maybe they're actually.
741
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:40.840
Wall So the Bengals. So the Bengals, Peyton, I agree
742
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:43.000
with you. We gotta get off that topic quick. That
743
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:46.239
would go left. Uh So here's the thing, Peyton, I
744
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.960
agree with like seventy percent of what you said about
745
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.199
the Bengals. I'm this close to being done with Joe Burrow.
746
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:54.960
But it's a hell thing like if he doesn't if
747
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.199
he doesn't finish this season, Bro, I'm tired of talking
748
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:58.960
about I'm like, all right, man, your man's made a glass.
749
00:37:58.960 --> 00:37:59.440
I'm tired of here.
750
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.199
I'll take you back what I said about Jamar Chase
751
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:03.400
to T Higgins. Oh that was that spire. They're very
752
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:03.960
good at football.
753
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:06.119
I mean Jamar Chase is like the only person of
754
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:09.199
that trio that consistently plays sixteen to seventeen games a year.
755
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.679
They still they still like sixty percent of the salary
756
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.360
between three of them. How can you win football games?
757
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.719
I'm gonna have I here's my hot take about the
758
00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:18.719
AFC North one team makes the playoffs.
759
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.119
That's that's not out of this world.
760
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:24.800
Okay, I'm gonna wait till we get to the playoffs
761
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.599
segment of this so I can hear what seven teams
762
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.760
you think are better than the Bengals, because if fully healthy,
763
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.440
it's hard for me to see a world where they
764
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:34.440
don't make it. But that if fully healthy, is a
765
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:36.400
giant asteris let's go.
766
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.639
To the AFC East because we got to pick the
767
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.880
pace up here. We still have an entire conference to
768
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:43.639
talk about that has some breaking news that we'll get
769
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:50.679
to the AFC East. It's the Bills or it's the Patriots.
770
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.199
I would like to not discuss the other people.
771
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.639
We are not talking Jets or Dolphins, fair because Miami
772
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:02.360
Miami's I mean, as full on rebuild of rebuild as
773
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:04.280
you can have in pro football.
774
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.360
So I'm gonna ask you make your case.
775
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.159
I'd like that. I know I'd like to make your case.
776
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:12.280
Ye, make your case, KP.
777
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:13.960
You don't want me to make the case for the
778
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:15.760
Patriots or ask my Bill's question first?
779
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:17.840
No, I'd like you to make the case and then
780
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:19.199
end it with your Bill's question.
781
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.719
Okay, I think everyone's been really lazy about their Patriots
782
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:25.960
coverage this off season it's like, oh, easy schedule. Last
783
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:28.159
year they won fourteen games. Their schedule is harder, they're
784
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.800
gonna lose. I feel like that's such a lazy way
785
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:34.559
to look at this season because if they were skating
786
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:38.280
by the lesser teams last year, Okay, I'm with you,
787
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:42.079
if we were just skating by winning by possession, no, no,
788
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:46.480
we were beating hawk shit out these teams, like we
789
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:50.480
were putting up dominant numbers, all the EPA numbers and all.
790
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.519
Trust me, guys, I'll save you some googling. All the
791
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.559
advance statistics shows that this was a dominant team last year,
792
00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:59.960
so to go from that, and we made off season
793
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.079
improvements as well. On top of Drake Man year two
794
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:05.800
of the Josh McDaniel system that we saw Tom Brady
795
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.280
take years to master. Now he's in another year of
796
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:11.400
it where he gets to see from his own mistakes
797
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.239
and learn from the Brady film as well. We added
798
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.800
Aj Brown, We added rushers on the defensive line, We
799
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.079
draft another offensive lineman. Thank god, hopefully this works out
800
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:24.440
a little better this time. Like I'd like, we improved
801
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:27.880
the receiving course so much. Remandre Stevenson finally knows how
802
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:33.000
NFL offense. No mindre Trayvon Henderson knows how NFL offense works. Now,
803
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.519
didn't take not gonna take him another six weeks to adjust.
804
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.920
I think this team can win the division and contend
805
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:43.719
for the AFC crown. And I know I'm and it
806
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:47.760
boggles my mind that people were reduced there this season previews.
807
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.000
Oh just the schedule, Like that's so lazy to me.
808
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:53.639
And I ended with the Bills question for people that
809
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.039
think the Bills are supposed to win this division. So
810
00:40:57.159 --> 00:40:59.320
you're telling me it's all Sean mcdermot's fault, Like all
811
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:01.679
they needed to do was replaced Sean McDermott and that's
812
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:04.199
the thing that's keeping them from success. So they keep
813
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:07.840
everybody else, get rid of one man and now including
814
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:08.559
the GM, this.
815
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:09.880
Is Mark Jackson nothing.
816
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:13.840
Yeah, exactly. So they think Joe Brady's Steve Kerr. That's
817
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:18.360
what you're saying. The one other time in the history
818
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:21.199
of sports that this worked. You're convincing me that Joe
819
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:23.800
Brady's the guy. I don't see it. And if I
820
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:25.719
could have gotten the seven teams better than the Bills
821
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:27.480
in the AFC, I would have had him out the playoffs.
822
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:28.199
But I couldn't get there.
823
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:33.360
Uh is Ramondre Stephenson saw on the Patriots.
824
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.519
Yes he is. He's related to be the Look, I
825
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.599
don't know why anyone drafts Patriots running backs ever, like.
826
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:42.559
I have league Josh McDaniels does.
827
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:46.760
Josh McDaniels doesn't believe in running back ones. He never has.
828
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:49.960
He never has. Like it's always two three backs in
829
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.599
the backfield. It's gonna stay that way.
830
00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:55.039
I want to you know, I agree with you. I
831
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.679
think the schedule part is lazy. That's not in the NFL.
832
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:02.320
That's nobody's saw except the NFL. Blame them if you
833
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:05.480
want to blame anybody, like and I'm pretty sure there's
834
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:08.559
like a math, there's like an algorithm or science to
835
00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:12.760
how based on where you finished last year versus obviously who.
836
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.679
You play, that's not like the rotating divisions.
837
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:18.400
Hold that thought. Can can we dispel that a little bit?
838
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.480
That's only like three games of your record, Like you're
839
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:26.199
playing your division six games, you're playing two other divisions
840
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:29.840
that's another eight games or not fourteen. That's the twols.
841
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:35.599
You play the same fourteen teams that I'm sorry you
842
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.320
have fourteen similar to the same games. It's three other
843
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:40.840
teams in your division. The only difference is is three
844
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:44.519
different games. So the first place schedule, last play schedule
845
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:46.039
thing is a hoax. I don't know why we still
846
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:48.920
say that, like it's not it's not a real thing.
847
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:51.639
It's the NFL. You can lose every single week. I
848
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:53.639
just talked to the Raiders beat us last year.
849
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.280
I think the one thing and I don't know when,
850
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.320
but it feels and I hate I don't want to
851
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:05.360
bring it up, never see anything. It feels like it's
852
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:08.519
looming somewhere. It's coming back around. I don't know when.
853
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:10.559
I was hoping it has.
854
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:12.880
To come back around from somewhere for me that the
855
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.280
NFL front office.
856
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.239
I do like someone's gonna bring it back up. And
857
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:19.719
I mean, like Rogers started saying it.
858
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.760
A little bit out loud on his little McAfee thing,
859
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:24.480
We're not going down McFee road.
860
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:28.960
Hopefully, hopefully you download and listen to the album.
861
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:30.760
Please save yourself the time.
862
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:34.559
It's so funny, but it just are.
863
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.719
In the album, like are we mentioned again.
864
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.840
No, I wouldn't be able to I wouldn't be able
865
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:41.320
to tell you.
866
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:44.480
But it just feels like anything that's going to deter
867
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:47.639
you guys, is going to be something like that, something
868
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.519
like super outside noise and Patriots historically zone that out,
869
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:53.320
block that out.
870
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:55.920
We had a murderer on our team. We went to
871
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:57.239
the super Bowl that year.
872
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.960
Yeah, but that was the off season. That's fine.
873
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.239
That was like OTAs or some shit. I think that's fine.
874
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.440
People kill people all the time in OTAs.
875
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:08.280
I think all the time.
876
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:13.079
Well, you know, they definitely do, now we know.
877
00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:15.559
But I feel like that would be like something like
878
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:18.400
that would be the only distraction that would loom. I
879
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:22.199
think a J. Brown being on the team, I think
880
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:24.440
he's gonna be sick. I think it's gonna be awesome.
881
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:27.840
It doesn't even matter if he gets the ball all
882
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:29.719
the time. I think he's just gonna be happier. He
883
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.599
looks like a happier guy. I mean, watching him that
884
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.000
joint practice was like he was looking at like fifty
885
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.119
three murderers across from him all day, like he hated
886
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:42.119
all them on the eagle side. And I think this
887
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:44.519
would be hard for David Miles here. I think he
888
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:48.679
despises Philadelphia and I don't think you could.
889
00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:50.880
I don't think I could convince David Miles of that.
890
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:53.719
But I think he's so glad to be out of
891
00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:55.840
that place that he likes to be in the middle
892
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:58.079
of a neighborhood and outside of Boston.
893
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:00.400
I think he's like the happiest.
894
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:04.159
I think we get one year of complaint free, fully
895
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.599
happy aj Brown before it goes off the rails in
896
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:07.039
the year two.
897
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:08.159
Yeah.
898
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:10.159
Yeah, I'm gonna just accept that this is year one
899
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:11.880
and hopefully we can get it done this year. Dave
900
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:13.800
your thoughts on the Patriots and or Bills.
901
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:19.000
I think the Bills are the last team in in
902
00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:23.119
the AFC because Josh Allen's gonna win them enough games.
903
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:26.159
I think the decision to fire Sean McDermott was a
904
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:29.000
dumb one because I don't think that was a team
905
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:32.920
that needed to make a change at the head coach.
906
00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:39.639
I think the it's almost like the Ravens. This is
907
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:44.320
the Patriots division to lose, and if injuries hit, that's
908
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:48.239
how they'll lose. But the defense, that's a top five
909
00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:52.880
defense in all football in my opinion with New England.
910
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:56.280
So couple that with if you look at Drake Man
911
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:57.679
and say, hey, all you have to do is what
912
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.119
you did last year, which is protect the football, not
913
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:04.159
give the free possessions, up hit the big throws when
914
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:05.880
we need you to. We got you a big stud
915
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:08.880
receiver in AJ Brown, which look as good as Stefan
916
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:09.880
Diggs was last year.
917
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:10.079
A J.
918
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:14.119
Brown is an upgrade over that. That's gonna make that
919
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:16.400
offense even more dynamic.
920
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:24.039
And Romeo Dobbs like, we upgrade a receiver exactly? Oh, Cuge, I.
921
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:27.199
Haven't, Hey, but you know what I'm gonna say. I
922
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:29.639
respect the guys that wear the Guardian caps. I do
923
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:34.280
as a guy that coaches football, I respect that, Hey,
924
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:39.320
you want to protect yourself. And too many examples we've
925
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:44.480
seen here recently in life that I mean ship. We
926
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:48.320
watched one with Brandon Ayuk in real time. O.
927
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.440
Well, how are we are we ruling out every other
928
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:54.440
possibility there?
929
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:57.480
There's no way he plays anywhere football?
930
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.079
No, no, no, no, I'm just saying we're laying on concussions.
931
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:03.599
I think we can put it on the group of
932
00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:06.280
people he's with, his his team, his.
933
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:09.280
You know what I want to I just I want
934
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:11.280
to know. I just want to know, how do you
935
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:18.199
let how do you let this guy just go unhinged?
936
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.639
I mean, it's it's it's mind numbing to look at
937
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:28.599
that and just watch a guy self implode so quickly
938
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:30.280
the substation.
939
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.840
We still aren't talking about that. Maybe it's a mental injuries.
940
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:35.840
I was gonna get I was gonna get there when
941
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:36.920
we got to the NFC West.
942
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.559
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well I'm gonna go to Patriots as well.
943
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:44.559
I'm honestly going against I think this. I think this
944
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:47.440
Bill's fans are gonna ride with the stadium thing. I
945
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:50.719
think it's bad juju. It feels like bad vibes in there. Immediately.
946
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:54.039
People are not liking that stadium and it feels like
947
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:56.880
no one's on board with it. I think that's I'm
948
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.000
going to childish route, But I'm going to Patriots when
949
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:01.159
the Seas do.
950
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:02.440
We have to spend a lot of time on the
951
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:04.320
NFC East.
952
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:10.440
I tried to get there with the Cowboys. For a
953
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:12.920
lot of people that have Cowboys on a Super Bowl sleeper,
954
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:15.960
They're like, oh, all the Cowboys defense has to be
955
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:20.280
is average. I'm like, yeah, the Eagles defense is really
956
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:24.280
fucking good. Like the Eagles. That Eagles defense is a
957
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:27.360
top five unit in the league, and their offense is
958
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:29.400
not gonna be that much worse without aj Brown. As
959
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.239
much as I think he's in addition to the Patriots,
960
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:32.519
I think they're gonna be able to pick up the
961
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:34.559
slack for the Eagles offense. So it's still the Eagles
962
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:36.079
division to lose. So no, we don't have to spend
963
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.239
a lot of time on them.
964
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:39.800
I'm gonna pick the Cowboys.
965
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:43.199
I'm gonna pick the Cowboys. I feel like it's more
966
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:46.719
of a Sirianni implodes this team, Like I just it just.
967
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:50.760
Feel like that he's their most, he's their highest. He's
968
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:52.800
like the highest win percentage of Eagles history, and he
969
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.079
has Super Bowl ring. Like, let's not pretend to man,
970
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:56.960
can't coach out of out.
971
00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:02.239
Of respect to Jane Daniels, No, we are not going
972
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:03.840
to talk about five teams.
973
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:05.679
Ah, there you go.
974
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:08.360
I cannot wait till that story is over.
975
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:14.280
But but yeah, oh come on, it's hilarious. He opens
976
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.920
his mouth. He's got to pay the price for that.
977
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:19.440
Well did he open his mouth? That's a great question.
978
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:20.760
See.
979
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:22.800
And the fact it turned to attack and his mom
980
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.360
is where it got uncomfortable for me. Like that, That's
981
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:28.199
where I was like, okay, guys, like let's let's wrap
982
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.159
this up bro start the season, Like if this, if
983
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:31.880
this dropped like.
984
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:40.039
Neither one in fairness, if you watched neither one of
985
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.039
them do any favors to themselves.
986
00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:44.880
I was gonna say, isn't Lamar Jackson's mom his.
987
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:50.159
Agent and we've never heard her, seen her and couldn't
988
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:51.679
couldn't tell you what she looks like.
989
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:56.360
I was gonna say, there comes a point and this
990
00:49:56.440 --> 00:49:59.320
is no not Jane Daniels' mom comes across as a
991
00:49:59.440 --> 00:50:00.840
very shrewd business woman.
992
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:03.320
I've met her when she's a very lovely lady.
993
00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:08.800
She seems very nice. It's just there are certain things
994
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:15.679
you have to be careful of and think like things
995
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:21.079
in this context that can backfire, and this one has backfired.
996
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:27.519
Honor Kelly, that crazy just there.
997
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:30.480
That's one of those like you're going into the deep end,
998
00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:33.960
you better be sure you're right and it doesn't come
999
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:35.239
back to her tree if you look at like the
1000
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:39.079
Lamar Jackson situation with like his mom. Lamar had to
1001
00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:42.719
learn that lesson when he tried to trademark the number eight,
1002
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:46.880
but he make an ass of himself when he did it,
1003
00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:49.719
you know what I mean? Like Jane Daniel's going, well,
1004
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:51.920
he should have retired my number five. You played a
1005
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:56.679
season in winter national title. Two seasons. Sorry, didn't win
1006
00:50:56.719 --> 00:51:02.280
a national title. Like, check yourself at the door.
1007
00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:05.079
I still feel like if it was a week seven
1008
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:06.880
of the NFL season, we would not care.
1009
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.039
Now we would still the jokes will be there, the
1010
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:11.039
jokes would be there.
1011
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:16.559
What's the record if if it okay, I was gonna say,
1012
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:18.280
if they're like five and two, but that's not happening.
1013
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:23.840
If they're like two and four, then maybe. But like,
1014
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:26.880
I just don't think we would care. If we were
1015
00:51:26.920 --> 00:51:29.280
in the throes of the NFL season, we'd have games
1016
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:29.880
to talk about.
1017
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:32.480
Like I agree, I agree it was I think the
1018
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.400
timing was bad. I think it was, but it was
1019
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.760
a very slow media. You know, it's slow in the
1020
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:41.960
media right now. People are looking for things people want
1021
00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:45.079
to talk about.
1022
00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:50.280
Yeah, Jad you better ball.
1023
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:52.960
Can't do all that better? Nah? Yeah, I have Jayden
1024
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:55.320
Daniels a lot, I have a lot of commanded fans.
1025
00:51:56.199 --> 00:51:56.840
I fear there.
1026
00:51:56.960 --> 00:51:59.679
I feel they're in a better place though, on the
1027
00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:05.239
field than Dallas's because I think I think, like we all,
1028
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.199
we all look at the Commanders. That was a team
1029
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:10.880
that went to the NFC Championship two years ago. Now
1030
00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:16.960
for a horrific amount of injuries happened to them. But like,
1031
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:20.639
let's let's see what if they stay healthy. They're in
1032
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:26.639
Dallas' category, I think. So I don't look at Dallas
1033
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:30.079
and say Dallas is this great team. I put Dallas
1034
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:32.480
in the same boat to Justin Herbert of they get
1035
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:35.440
a may of the Chargers, not Justin Herbert in terms
1036
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:38.719
of we all love them every year and every year
1037
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:41.960
they just kind of are an average football team.
1038
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:45.079
Pay electric, pay to let you go first.
1039
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:49.960
I've never loved the Cowboys ever, and I've never fallen
1040
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:52.760
to that trap. I've always been like proven to me,
1041
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:55.639
especially like Dak Prescott.
1042
00:52:55.880 --> 00:52:59.000
That guy lights up yards and yards and yards, and
1043
00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.639
then they just disappoint at some point.
1044
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:08.719
I will say I'm more confident in a Dan Quinn
1045
00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:15.119
defense than a Dallas Cowboy defense after last year, I guess.
1046
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:18.400
But I think they've improved in a lot of areas.
1047
00:53:18.519 --> 00:53:20.239
I think Caleb Downs will be better.
1048
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:21.679
Yeah, I don't.
1049
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:24.760
I think I have a hard time doing with that, Dave.
1050
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:28.880
I just I get what you're saying. FC Championship.
1051
00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:31.679
You saw what it looked like, you saw the trophy,
1052
00:53:32.119 --> 00:53:34.239
you looked at it in the eyes, which is more
1053
00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:37.199
than dath Prestott them can say because they haven't seen
1054
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:41.480
what the NSC Championship looks like. But I do struggle
1055
00:53:42.199 --> 00:53:44.760
with the fact that I think their roster is more
1056
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:50.599
complete and better across the board in more positions than not.
1057
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.599
I would say I think the Cowboys could have a
1058
00:53:53.639 --> 00:53:56.039
top five offense in the league, if not top three
1059
00:53:56.360 --> 00:54:00.360
ship that. Yeah, they could be the offense, but.
1060
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:03.800
They gotta do they gotta not Okay, they can do that,
1061
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:06.960
but their defense can't give up thirty five points too.
1062
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:08.519
I don't think that's dead.
1063
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:08.840
No.
1064
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:11.280
Last year they literally allowed the most points in football,
1065
00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:15.079
Like they were literally the worst defense in football. As
1066
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:18.320
long as they're not that, that'll be worth a few
1067
00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:21.320
more wins. But when it comes to Washington, I hear
1068
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:24.880
your point, like it went from NFC Championship, all the
1069
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:26.920
injuries in the world, and then they fell off a
1070
00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:29.239
cliff and they picked like what seventh last year to
1071
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:33.960
get sunny styles Like, I get that, but I think
1072
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:38.920
the answer is closer to the middle. The answer is
1073
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:42.239
closer to this is an eight win team than it
1074
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:46.320
is this is an NFC championship level team that maybe
1075
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:48.679
sneaks into the playoffs. You get what I'm trying to say.
1076
00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:52.159
I hear what you're saying. I would agree with that.
1077
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:55.760
I now, like you said, I would like to see
1078
00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:59.079
them do very well and win twelve games. That would
1079
00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:00.920
be very cool. Actually for the area.
1080
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:04.119
You know, a new stadiums around the corner.
1081
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:07.239
My life is better when the Commanders are good. As
1082
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:10.199
someone who lives in PG County, people are nicer, like
1083
00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:11.360
everyone's happening.
1084
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:12.280
When commanders are.
1085
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:13.960
Good, my life's better. Same thing with the Ravens. When
1086
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:16.519
they're good, my life is better. So, Dave, I hope
1087
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:18.639
you're right, but but I just don't see it.
1088
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:23.159
Let's go to the NFC North, which I feel like
1089
00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:31.800
is an interesting division to discuss. Let's start there. Who's
1090
00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:34.760
our favorite KP dum.
1091
00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:36.400
Bears.
1092
00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:41.280
I'm rolling with Chicago is the favorite in this division
1093
00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:48.960
with one caveat one caveat. The Vikings won nine games
1094
00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:52.159
last year. Y'all know that with some of the worst
1095
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:54.599
quarterback player I've ever seen in my natural black life,
1096
00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:59.719
they won nine games. There's the outlier of what if
1097
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:05.039
Murray's awesome? Yeah, what if he's just awesome in this
1098
00:56:05.159 --> 00:56:08.440
koc offense that we've seen lesser quarterbacks be awesome in
1099
00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:13.280
that shifts the paradigm everything. But as currently constructed with
1100
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:16.039
the teams I see. I think that Bears offense is
1101
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:17.960
gonna be even better in year two of Ben Johnson.
1102
00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:20.920
Their defense leaves a lot to be desired.
1103
00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:24.679
I was gonna say they lost some big safety and
1104
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:26.119
then their other safety died.
1105
00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:26.800
I think.
1106
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:32.679
Something like that, like stat I found in my research.
1107
00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:34.920
So they led the league in turnovers and with thirty
1108
00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:37.880
three last year, right, twelve of those turnovers are now
1109
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:38.760
on other teams.
1110
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:41.320
Yeah, I heard that. I heard that the other day.
1111
00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:46.280
And turnover looks are turnover looks supposed to like fluctuate
1112
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:48.840
anyways if you actually analytics nerds. So that's my one
1113
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:51.400
concern with the Bears. But I do think the Bears
1114
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:54.760
with that offense. Caleb Williams being like, I don't even
1115
00:56:54.800 --> 00:56:56.800
know if dark horse is the right term for MVP
1116
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.159
favorite if he takes another lead. I genuinely really like
1117
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:00.960
the Bears this year.
1118
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:05.440
You let me ask this, do you believe in the
1119
00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:09.400
Luther Burdon hype that it's gonna be panned out? Like
1120
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:14.159
DJ Moore obviously gone? I felt like Dj Moore was
1121
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:16.559
a guy you should have tried to keep based on
1122
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:19.280
the chemistry. They rebelled, No, so you're out on that.
1123
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:24.679
DJ Moore last year was DJ Moore is what a
1124
00:57:24.679 --> 00:57:27.079
lot of people thought Aj Brown was to the Bears
1125
00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:30.559
last year. That's it's just it's just it was just
1126
00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:35.039
underreported because Chicago media isn't like Philly media. But DJ
1127
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:37.599
Moore would jump up and down and walk off to
1128
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:39.440
the sideline if he didn't get the ball. On plays,
1129
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:41.639
he would run the wrong routes. He would always be
1130
00:57:41.639 --> 00:57:44.840
in someone's face, of Ben Johnson face. But like we ate,
1131
00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:46.880
everyone in Chicago knew he was gonna be on a
1132
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:50.000
different team next year, which is why Buffalo. I know
1133
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:52.320
y'all are happy he's your wide receiver one or whatever,
1134
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.880
but Chicago fans were willing to drive him to the airport.
1135
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:56.760
I feel like that's something you should keep in mind.
1136
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:02.039
But as far as Luther Burton, it's a question of
1137
00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:06.039
how good does he have to be? Mm hmm, because
1138
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.199
he's not the The number one target on his offense
1139
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:13.760
is Colson Lovelin dog Yeah, like and Rome Roma Dunesday's
1140
00:58:13.800 --> 00:58:16.639
option too. How good do you need your option three
1141
00:58:16.679 --> 00:58:16.880
to be?
1142
00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:21.679
I don't know, but I worry that I keep going
1143
00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:25.039
back to that defense, like the defense was so good
1144
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:28.800
for them last year, and I honestly felt unexpected because
1145
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:30.360
I don't think anyone thought they would be able to
1146
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:32.360
take the ball away they were and.
1147
00:58:32.360 --> 00:58:36.039
Play like playoff football like they did.
1148
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.719
But I I just I think about that. I think
1149
00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:42.000
about like, if Caleb messes up or something goes wrong,
1150
00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:43.960
are they gonna bail them out like they did last year?
1151
00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:46.239
And that's why I that's why I went to the
1152
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:48.760
Vikings as the second team, because we don't got to
1153
00:58:48.760 --> 00:58:51.280
worry about the Vikings defense. We'll got worried about them
1154
00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:53.519
at all the year.
1155
00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:57.440
But so, okay, so then where do you okay are
1156
00:58:57.719 --> 00:59:02.239
do we think the Lions have missed the window? Yes?
1157
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:08.000
I think they've got a chance to bounce back this year.
1158
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:08.559
I really do.
1159
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:09.519
I too.
1160
00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:12.280
Okay. Dave explained to me why you think that, because
1161
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:14.199
it it befuddles me that people think.
1162
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:20.440
That because the talent is still there. I think they've
1163
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:24.400
done some things to fix the offensive line with the
1164
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:28.880
the the ubs and flows guys retiring and leaving. Then
1165
00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:31.360
you turn around and look, I think the defense is
1166
00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:34.880
on par, if not slightly better than it was last year.
1167
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:39.840
The health like again, they're starting healthy. We know how
1168
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:43.880
good this offense can be when everybody's right. Now, you
1169
00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:47.599
got Jamior Gibbs paid. We know how good Jamison Williams
1170
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:52.039
and Amina Saint Brown are. You have Sam Laporta. You
1171
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:57.400
fix the off line that's anchored by Rashaun Slater like
1172
00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:02.239
Penny So Penny Soul. I'm sorry I had to like
1173
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:05.519
I had Penny Soul in mine, but they have the
1174
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:08.039
same number on different teams, and it threw me off.
1175
01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:10.440
I'm with you, but I could. I'm with you. I'm
1176
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:13.840
just correct.
1177
01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:16.960
Like when I look at the NFC North as a whole,
1178
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:21.440
I sit there and go, did one team get appreciably
1179
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:24.719
better than everybody else? And he answers no, I think
1180
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:31.159
Green Bay is still talented, but I don't trust them Minnesota.
1181
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:35.320
I need to see what cover is gonna look like,
1182
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.039
Like I need to see what that offense is gonna
1183
01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:40.400
look like. Where's that defense as opposed to where it
1184
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:44.000
was last year? Too many questions with those two teams,
1185
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.199
so I put them towards the bottom. I look at
1186
01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:51.039
Detroit and say, if they're healthy, I think Dan Campbell's
1187
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:56.480
gotten getting back to that edge he wanted, because that's
1188
01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:58.519
a big thing with the Lions, is you think about
1189
01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:01.320
that as runs they had, they played with an edge.
1190
01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:04.440
Last year was the first time you watched them and
1191
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:08.800
said they don't have that edge to them. They're kind
1192
01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:12.559
of a flat vanilla team. Then you look at who
1193
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:15.639
they've got and gotten who they drafted, you feel like
1194
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:18.400
Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes said, we're getting our edge back.
1195
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:21.039
I still think the Bears are the best team in
1196
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:23.639
that division, but I don't think it's leaps and bounds.
1197
01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:27.079
I think the Lions are the team that pushed the
1198
01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:30.159
Chicago and I think the Lions are a playoff team
1199
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:32.639
in a bounce back year because I don't think their
1200
01:01:32.679 --> 01:01:33.559
windows closed.
1201
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:39.159
Okay, I think I found our disconnect. I'm significantly down
1202
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:41.960
on the Lions defense on both of you, and I
1203
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.159
think you named a bunch of players who I can't
1204
01:01:44.199 --> 01:01:47.559
wait the draft in fantasy that are on the Lions.
1205
01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:51.199
I can't wait to draft Jamier Gibbs. I'm on ros
1206
01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:53.000
good for like one hundred and ten catches a year.
1207
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:56.519
I think I think Jamison Williams is just a different
1208
01:01:56.639 --> 01:01:58.400
version of Mike Evans.
1209
01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:01.119
And fantasy these days break that down for me.
1210
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:05.760
Mike Evans used to go for like thirty points, like
1211
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:08.840
twelve catches, two touchdowns, and then next week he had
1212
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:12.519
like one catch for like twelve yards, and you'd be like, fuck.
1213
01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:14.800
Jamison Williams does the same shit.
1214
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:19.079
He'll get like like one hundred and thirty yac yards
1215
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:22.239
just alone doing that two touchdowns, and then next week
1216
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.719
no targets, and I'm like, did he die? Is he alive?
1217
01:02:26.119 --> 01:02:28.719
Have we checked on him? Is he at the game?
1218
01:02:29.239 --> 01:02:31.519
Like do we know these things? Bred Holmes, what are
1219
01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:31.920
you doing?
1220
01:02:32.159 --> 01:02:34.239
They can't afford to do that again this year.
1221
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:36.280
Well, they paid him, they paid him money.
1222
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:39.639
Yeah, like they can't afford to have him be Also,
1223
01:02:39.800 --> 01:02:43.079
the Lions can't keep paying everybody, right, Like I'm sorry
1224
01:02:44.239 --> 01:02:44.960
that yeah.
1225
01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:48.360
Like how much money is Jared Goff making right now?
1226
01:02:48.639 --> 01:02:53.559
Because it feels like he should be making more, but
1227
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:55.320
somehow he probably can't be.
1228
01:02:56.280 --> 01:02:58.920
I feel like we goad to call Pablo Tore about
1229
01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:01.880
the Lions capspan because Jared Goff got paid. I think
1230
01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:04.559
he's somewhere in the mif hit These Jamior games just
1231
01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:07.679
got paid. Penny Schuell got paid, Aiden Hudgson got paid,
1232
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.920
Jamo got paid, aiden Amon Ross Saint Brown got paid
1233
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.519
near the top of the market. Like something isn't right here,
1234
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:18.039
Like some of these numbers are not quite adding up.
1235
01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:20.400
But I feel like the Lions are a better fantasy
1236
01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:22.679
football team than they are a regular football team. And
1237
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:25.320
that's just because of that defense man. And they didn't
1238
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:28.400
really add any in my opinion, they didn't add any
1239
01:03:28.440 --> 01:03:31.400
real needle movers this offseason and make me feel otherwise,
1240
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:33.519
or maybe if they changed the coordinator. Much love to
1241
01:03:33.599 --> 01:03:36.159
Kelvin Shepard, wish him the best, love my black coaches,
1242
01:03:36.199 --> 01:03:38.960
but it's just ah, it's a rough look over there
1243
01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:40.079
in Detroit for me.
1244
01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:42.239
I have an answer for you, go for it.
1245
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:46.079
Jared Goff restructured his contract THENTO last year by converting
1246
01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:49.039
forty million very general show him forty million of his
1247
01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:51.960
twenty twenty six base salary into a signing bonus. They
1248
01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:55.199
just gave him forty million dollars cash. This move cleared
1249
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:59.079
thirty two million in cap space for the team. See
1250
01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:02.199
you know what, Like this is what good teams do
1251
01:04:02.400 --> 01:04:04.880
that are actually on the money. They were like, we
1252
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:07.119
need to fuck they need to restructure this and do
1253
01:04:07.159 --> 01:04:08.440
we have money? Do we have cash.
1254
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:11.159
Pay the guy cash, right now, that's what you need.
1255
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:13.480
That's what the Eagles have been doing for an entire decade.
1256
01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:16.519
Yeah, it's like whatever I mean. I mean, the best
1257
01:04:16.519 --> 01:04:18.079
people in the world are the Dodgers at it and
1258
01:04:18.079 --> 01:04:20.239
we don't even go down that road. But you know
1259
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:24.159
they don't pay anybody. They're all gonna get sued.
1260
01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:29.559
Speaking at one point, that guy, I want you to know,
1261
01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:31.039
the ky that sold the Lakers.
1262
01:04:31.360 --> 01:04:32.480
That guy's going to jail.
1263
01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:33.920
I'm positive.
1264
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:38.000
He sold his minority stake in Chelsea. He's gonna sell
1265
01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:38.320
the dog.
1266
01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:42.360
Something's wrong where he needs cash fast and there's no
1267
01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:44.079
amount of like I don't know what you could buy
1268
01:04:44.679 --> 01:04:46.960
like else you would want to buy, but that's rabbit hole.
1269
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:49.119
I'm gonna go with the Bears so we get off
1270
01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:53.119
the Nessee North. I like the Lions competing and pressing
1271
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:57.280
them down to this end of it. I'm hopeful for
1272
01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:00.000
Kyler Murray. I like seeing guys get a second shape
1273
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:04.559
from people think they're dead. Like I said it before,
1274
01:05:04.599 --> 01:05:06.519
I'm not sure how Matt Jones is gonna win a
1275
01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:09.760
Super Bowl. Not sure how awhere or why. But that's
1276
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:13.800
just the final that's the that's the final process. Kyle
1277
01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:17.440
Shanahan koc rebuilding tree. If they went one of their
1278
01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:19.719
other guys, I'll tell you what if someone that went
1279
01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:22.280
through their rebuilding program wins another super Bowl before brock
1280
01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:24.519
perty one of them do, that's a bad look.
1281
01:05:24.639 --> 01:05:25.239
I'll say that.
1282
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:32.559
NFC South Tampa Bay just resigned Vita Vea to a
1283
01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:34.760
one year, thirty million dollar extension.
1284
01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:35.960
Smart.
1285
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:38.039
But I think the New Orleans Saints of the Teina
1286
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:39.360
wins a suvision.
1287
01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:41.719
And there it is the pick of the year for
1288
01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:44.480
Dave stein Little. I think that's the one. That's the
1289
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:45.400
one I'm gonna remember.
1290
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:47.400
He just can't quit the Saints.
1291
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:50.760
Man. Yeah, Tyler Shuck played really well down the stretch,
1292
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:56.320
that defense, better than I think everybody thought it was
1293
01:05:56.360 --> 01:06:00.199
gonna be. They were. They are where I think Tennessee
1294
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:04.440
and the Raiders are this year. That's where the Saints
1295
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:09.159
were last year in that ascension. I look at that,
1296
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:11.159
I look at this, and I say, I think Tampa
1297
01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:16.599
Bay's taking a step back. Carolina's sort of an enigma.
1298
01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:18.599
I don't trust the Falcons.
1299
01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:24.119
The Falcons are a shit show. I think the Falcons
1300
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:26.000
are in like we're gonna have a top five pick
1301
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:27.679
next year territory.
1302
01:06:28.360 --> 01:06:30.840
I think they're banking on getting a quarterback next year.
1303
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:34.239
They have to be, because what is this what is
1304
01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:34.800
that roster?
1305
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:39.559
So I look at the Saints and I say, of
1306
01:06:39.599 --> 01:06:41.519
all the teams in the vision, I feel like their
1307
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:45.360
stock is that it is rising. I like the trajectory,
1308
01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:49.840
I like Kellen Moore and more more. At the most,
1309
01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:54.519
I just think they're gonna win this division because I
1310
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:57.920
think Tampa Bay takes a step back. I think Carolina
1311
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:01.000
pushes them little wire, but I think the Saints are
1312
01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:02.679
just in a better spot overall.
1313
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:08.199
If the Bucks missed the playoffs, what happens to Tom Bowles?
1314
01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:12.199
Oh he's fired, so done, He's someone's defense coordinator next year.
1315
01:07:12.599 --> 01:07:14.840
And okay, Baker Mayfield is going to be the quarterback
1316
01:07:14.840 --> 01:07:15.440
of the Steelers.
1317
01:07:16.519 --> 01:07:19.599
Amends fun, that's fun.
1318
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:22.159
Everything burns to the ground, I think, and I think
1319
01:07:22.199 --> 01:07:25.519
that happens. I think they missed the playoffs and the
1320
01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:30.280
Bucks never had a championship window post Brady, but it
1321
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:34.880
feels like they were always a chance that something could happen,
1322
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:37.599
and I feel like it closed this year. Like I
1323
01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:38.840
feel like this year it's over.
1324
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:41.519
I have a good enough. It's like your dad that
1325
01:07:41.639 --> 01:07:44.119
set up everything at your apartment or like your new
1326
01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:47.119
home with you, and he said, these are the training manuals.
1327
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:50.480
This is it. Where are you gonna put these? I'm
1328
01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:52.000
gonna put them in that drawer. You should you should
1329
01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:53.760
put them somewhere you're gonna feeble to get to them.
1330
01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:58.119
And then a ship that that fan broke. Oh fuck,
1331
01:07:58.119 --> 01:07:59.360
I don't know how to fix that. Oh wait, the
1332
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:02.159
vacuum of shit. Wait, we don't know how do we
1333
01:08:02.199 --> 01:08:04.760
fix this? Again? We were running pretty well here like
1334
01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:07.480
that was like what Brady left them, like, this is
1335
01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:11.239
how you just keep doing this, and then they started
1336
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:13.639
twink with it a little bit and then it kind
1337
01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:14.599
of got fucked up again.
1338
01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:18.439
I think they're headed into rebuild mode after this year. Man,
1339
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:21.279
but they got some young pieces already, so like they're
1340
01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:25.640
not starting from absolute zero. But I do think they're
1341
01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:27.239
headed for a new phase after this year.
1342
01:08:28.920 --> 01:08:32.119
I still think they win the division. I actually think
1343
01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:35.439
I think. And the funny thing and this will be
1344
01:08:36.159 --> 01:08:37.880
this will be funny because I saw us on Twitter
1345
01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:40.560
the other day of if Bryce Young were to make
1346
01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:42.880
the playoffs and like the Texans were to miss it
1347
01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:45.920
is David tepper Wright and was he right in doing
1348
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:48.960
what he did. And then I'm like, well, and Will
1349
01:08:49.039 --> 01:08:51.159
Anderson still plays for the Texans and that I think
1350
01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:51.960
that was your fault.
1351
01:08:53.399 --> 01:08:57.399
So I still would hold back on that. But I like,
1352
01:08:57.520 --> 01:08:58.319
I like the Panthers.
1353
01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:01.920
I like Bryce Young, I like Canalis, like I like
1354
01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:05.880
those guys and that, and I also like it's probably again.
1355
01:09:06.039 --> 01:09:08.680
I have buddies that are Panthers fans. They don't have
1356
01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:12.600
much like you know, they've never had a ton to
1357
01:09:12.680 --> 01:09:16.439
root for. They've had moments and for sure with Cam
1358
01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:19.279
and Luke Keikley in them, but that was quick.
1359
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:23.399
That wasn't a long lasting thing. I think they push them.
1360
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:25.720
But I think that the winner of this division goes
1361
01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:28.119
like nine tenants, Oh yeah, for sure.
1362
01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:31.239
Like I don't think it's like anything.
1363
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:33.720
Sure, but I I think I think the Bucks. I
1364
01:09:33.800 --> 01:09:37.640
like the Bucks the most out of anybody I just experience.
1365
01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:40.199
I'm kind of going with that. That's like the only
1366
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:41.800
thing I'm not even like willing to die on the
1367
01:09:41.840 --> 01:09:44.760
hill that bad Alvin Kamara is out for a couple
1368
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:46.319
of weeks. I think I heard today.
1369
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:50.399
I don't pay me. I don't think that matters.
1370
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:54.359
Travis et okay, are we doing etn still, I just
1371
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:55.880
want to know, are we still doing that?
1372
01:09:56.199 --> 01:09:57.319
Because he said his name is a.
1373
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:01.319
Chan it is ah. I can tell you because he
1374
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:01.760
told me.
1375
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:04.520
What are we doing that? Are we Is everyone getting
1376
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:07.239
on board with that? Because it feels like for a
1377
01:10:07.279 --> 01:10:08.479
couple of people not do that.
1378
01:10:09.279 --> 01:10:11.159
Okay, we do have to start to wrap this up
1379
01:10:11.159 --> 01:10:14.079
because I got another pond here tonight.
1380
01:10:14.119 --> 01:10:17.159
Okay, okay, what divisions do we have left? Just the
1381
01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:20.640
NFC West, but with the two best teams in the
1382
01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:26.640
league happen to be in this division. Uh. Look, I
1383
01:10:26.680 --> 01:10:29.039
feel like we've seen the super teams go poorly. Matt
1384
01:10:29.079 --> 01:10:31.640
Stafford isn't getting any younger. Give me Seattle.
1385
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:34.600
Until until in otherwise you have to pick the Seahawks.
1386
01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:35.560
In my opinion, I do not.
1387
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:38.239
Nope, I don't need to do I'll take the Rams.
1388
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:41.800
I'm disappointed in you. Peyton.
1389
01:10:42.439 --> 01:10:45.279
No, I just Aaron Donald's playstall. I don't give a ship.
1390
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:48.439
But this little it's also very annoying what they're doing.
1391
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:53.039
It's very he's thirty five and hasn't played in three years.
1392
01:10:53.239 --> 01:10:56.079
I don't care. I don't give a ship. I don't
1393
01:10:56.520 --> 01:10:58.600
It's like you just have the body out there. You
1394
01:10:58.600 --> 01:10:59.720
gotta respect it.
1395
01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:03.399
It's just Miles Garrett's out there. Oh, gotta respect the
1396
01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:03.920
damn thing.
1397
01:11:06.439 --> 01:11:08.600
Last words, last word.
1398
01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:11.520
A lot of great young men in the NFL. Fuck
1399
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:13.920
that guy. I don't give a shit about eight.
1400
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:22.479
Alright, Okay, give me your seven playoff teams in the AFC,
1401
01:11:22.520 --> 01:11:25.600
and who wins a KP you first? All right?
1402
01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:27.000
And I love how you know. I already have it
1403
01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:28.760
listed out. I just got to get to it. Seven
1404
01:11:28.800 --> 01:11:32.399
playoff teams. Broncos in the West, Patriots in the East,
1405
01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:37.720
Texans in the South, Ravens in the North, Bill's Jaguars, Bengals.
1406
01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:44.600
All right, I've got Ravens out in the North, Broncos
1407
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:51.319
in the West, Texans in the South, Patriots in the East, Jacksonville, Buffalo,
1408
01:11:52.079 --> 01:11:57.119
Kansas City. Three wildcard teams with the Ravens winning.
1409
01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:00.880
It, the whole thing, the winning year.
1410
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:03.319
See. I think this is their best chance they're gonna happen.
1411
01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:06.840
Don't you did that? You did that right?
1412
01:12:06.920 --> 01:12:08.640
We don't have time at all.
1413
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:15.840
Uh Patriots East, Uh, Chiefs in the West, UH, Steelers
1414
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:23.880

1415
01:12:23.920 --> 01:12:26.199
then Broncos.
1416
01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:29.239
All right at NFC KP.
1417
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:36.439
Seattle Eagles, Bears, Saints, Rams, Cowboys, who the hell knows?
1418
01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:40.560
For the seventh seed? Who knows? And I would like
1419
01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:42.880
the second vikings.
1420
01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:46.319
Uh, I'm gonna go with what KP said, except swap
1421
01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:47.399
vikings for Lions.
1422
01:12:49.239 --> 01:13:06.520
I will go Bears, Seahawks, Eagles, Saints blanket Lions, Rams, Niners.
1423
01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:08.800
That's so crazy.
1424
01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:10.720
You're so rude for doing that, like at the end,
1425
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:13.640
like no reason, Like are they.
1426
01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:15.640
Niners going to be able to field a football team
1427
01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:18.399
this year? Like do they have enough bodies?
1428
01:13:19.880 --> 01:13:22.439
They will find a way. They will somehow find a way.
1429
01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:22.840
I don't.
1430
01:13:22.880 --> 01:13:25.760
Will Kyle Shannan go to jail for hitting that curl
1431
01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:26.199
of his task?
1432
01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:27.399
That's a great question.
1433
01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:29.840
Who's your Super Bowl?
1434
01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:35.479
Uh?
1435
01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:36.159
Super Bowl?
1436
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:47.199
Super Bowl rematch? Patriots, Seahawks, Patriots taking the sum.
1437
01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:46.600
I got Seahawks Ravens with the Seahawks winning.
1438
01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:52.079
As Peyton is deep in thought and simultaneous, it looks
1439
01:13:52.079 --> 01:13:53.000
like he's about a poop pan.
1440
01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:55.119
You know what, I'll do this because it's always work.
1441
01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:58.880
This works out for me, Rams, Ravens, Ravens super Bowl winners.
1442
01:13:59.159 --> 01:13:59.640
There we go.
1443
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:04.159
It's still now. I do that usually every year. It's great.
1444
01:14:05.319 --> 01:14:08.800
That it works out I look like a genius.
1445
01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:13.560
Oh God, I love these shows so much. We can
1446
01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:16.800
we can debate my takes at the end next week
1447
01:14:17.960 --> 01:14:20.560
as we continue to get ready for the start of
1448
01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:24.239
football season for Kevin Pierce, for Peyton Girod. I am
1449
01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:28.159
Dave stin Wettell. We hope you've enjoyed our NFL preview.
1450
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:30.600
Let us know how we did, or let me know
1451
01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:33.159
how bad you think my takes are. It's fine. I
1452
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:35.960
can take it. I'm not Stephen A. Smith or Pat McAfee.
1453
01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:39.159
I don't crawl and get scared. Oh come find me.
1454
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:41.960
Damn and in the game and in the show with shots.
1455
01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:42.600
Let's do it.
1456
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.159
Have a great week, everybody. We'll talk to you next week.
