Full Transcript for Sharp or Square - AFC SOUTH BETTING PREVIEW: Jaguars, Texans, Titans & Colts Predictions

who were asking About James daniels was there's probably a little bit of recency bias there and that he you, know he wasn't in top form last. Year he was injured a lot last, year and so you, KNOW i in preparation for, THIS i mentioned this in the Comments Nate Tice football three TO zho one podcast he had On Bill barnwell And Greg rosenthal a couple months, ago and they did sort of a snake draft of top. Quarterbacks they went through one through, eighteen And Jadan. DANIELS i think someone chose him to be in their top. Ten AND i could see the argument because when he was, healthy he was so. Good BUT i don't want TOO i actually give more credence to a quarterback who was terrible one, year Like Caleb, williams and then improved markedly in the second. Year then a quarterback who came from nowhere had an incredibly great. Year we've seen it with C. J stroud and then there's. Regression SO i don't know what we're getting From Jaden daniels. Yet and SO i do feel confident With Caleb williams and they're being progress versus the jury is still out With Jadan. Daniels so he. 00:06:28 Speaker 2: Burned us too, though right chat we both had our top ten last year and we said they're going to regress this. 00:06:33 Speaker 3: Year he totally fell on his. 00:06:35 Speaker 2: Space you can say you can blame all the injuries you, want but when he was, playing he wasn't playing that well. 00:06:39 Speaker 3: Either so that's WHY i didn't Have Drake. MAY i. WENT i heard a lot From Drake may. Haters it's one. YEAR i. 00:06:45 Speaker 2: NEED i can't keep doing this thing WHERE i buy. Guys after one YEAR i. NEED i need to start being more firm ON i need more time with. Guys and again that goes back to my gill And hurts. Argument five years as a five year, starter he's top three in, touchdowns wins and rushing. 00:06:59 Speaker 3: Yards that stuff. 00:07:01 Speaker 2: Matters it's like being healthy on the, field being, available it. Matters So Jane, daniels me And, chatter no one's down the talent. Level that's a great. 00:07:09 Speaker 3: Point. 00:07:09 Speaker 2: Chat it's, LIKE i JUST i can't even put him over a guy Like Sam donald right. Now like it's Just Sam donald is consistently available for his. Teams he's played now multiple seasons from multiple different, teams doesn't miss. Games that's that's. Important you see why that's. Important he led his team to A Super. Bowl So Jade, Daniels, yeah that's that's WHY i didn't hear too many people complain About that's definitely one in the back of my. Mind now next, yearhere it's, like is that another guy that we could see bounce back or is that just a one one hit? 00:07:38 Speaker 3: Wonder. 00:07:39 Speaker 1: YEAH i also liked in the Comments dak was getting some love. Also oh and AGAIN i read all the. COMMENTS i try to respond as many as. POSSIBLE a lot of comments about our conversation in The odyssey and whether or not we loved it too. Much for the, RECORD i tried to be. CLEAR i thought the filmmaking was incredibly. Ambitious i'm not sold on the. Story and for the, record, also the person who wrote the translation of The odyssey That Christopher nolan based based the movie on thinks the movie is. Terrible so it's starting to. Generate after sort of all the glory and love and you, know deification Of nolan And Matt, damon starting to get a little bit of a little bit of blowback on The. Odyssey So i'm, excited. 00:08:30 Speaker 2: You know the. 00:08:31 Speaker 3: Deal we need, doubters we need. Haters that's just part of the. 00:08:33 Speaker 1: Course, also one more comment WHICH i. Love the first comment was someone, saying amidst all the media chaos in the, WORLD i like That chad And simon will still be doing the same show for however long they can do. It AND i said in the, comments oh my, God simon AND i just talked about this on the phone. Yesterday, anyways keep the comments. Coming i'll be in. THERE i will be in. There. Listen we're doing part two of our you, know annual eight, parts division by DIVISION nfl betting preview moving into THE Afc south, today big big Topic. Simon, Obviously Trevor lawrence wasn't on our. List some people asking about. That can we See Liam cohen Take Trevor lawrence to the next? Level what the hell is going on WITH. Cj? Stroud is he going to take a next? Step is he going to further, regress It's Robert salad going to save The. Titans is the window closed for The? Colts setting the, table betting markets show a very even division top to. Bottom houston win totals nine and a half minus one twenty to the Over jacksonville eight and a half minus one forty to the over again from hard rap Bat indianapolis Colt seven and a half minus one thirty five to the Over tennessee minus six and a half minus one ten on both. Sides all, Right Simon, Hunter Houston. Texans this team did not start, strong and then they had a defense that did not quit and a coach And Dimico ryans who keeps them playing at a very high. Level and it is really a guy that a lot of people would want to play. For so they finish twelve and. Five they Crush Aaron rodgers and The steelers in the wild card before Losing New england in The divisional. Round, tough tough game for them in The divisional round plus one twenty to win the. Division they are the favorites nine to one to win the, conference twenty to one to win The Super. Bowl, LOOK i think we need to have a conversation about The jaguars on the upswing and The texans plateauing where is your? Head right? 00:10:50 Speaker 3: Now It's Texans division easily to. 00:10:54 Speaker 2: Win and that's If i'm putting my money highly invested into a team in this, division it's got to Be. Houston it's a team that's returned to all eleven other defensive. Starters AND i, mean we we can talk anagement about. It Demiko, ryans how smart he is defensive, mind the talent they have, Defenses oh my, god they might have two top, five top seven depending on your grades d ends for this, team Right and you know it's

when they Got, HUNTER i was, Like, okay that's that's a good right because now they're gonna have one one one of them is gonna one on one matchups on the. 00:11:26 Speaker 3: Edges you saw last. 00:11:27 Speaker 2: YEAR i think they had both had double digit, sacks like they were just so. Dominant and you, KNOW i don't want to say he's lost all his, aura BUT. Cj, STROUD i don't know if you saw that video of him walking into camp the other, Day, chad and if you have anyone out, there you need to go look it. Up he looks like a seventh grader getting dropped off at. School the way he, walks in his, style the way, yeah the, mannerisms it's so bizarre where it's, like what has happened TO. Cj he does not have the swag or the confidence or whatever it was that he had after that first year. 00:12:00 Speaker 3: Year oh my. GOD i hope he can find it because. 00:12:02 Speaker 2: This is such a talented team and our questions are the offensive. Line and this has been What. Chad, now this is year four of us being, like we think they have the, talent do they have the offensive? Line and we've seen every YEAR cj has gotten worse since that rookie. Year and that's just the accumulation of hits and bad coaching in my, opinion. Offensively and you know, what Is David montgomery the answer for? THEM i think he's gonna. HELP i do think he's gonna, help THOUGH i know he's not the exact nits you're looking, for but this is a veteran that's consistent and that's something they're gonna. 00:12:33 Speaker 3: Need where their defense gives them short. 00:12:35 Speaker 2: Fields that's what was so impressive last year was just felt like every time they needed, to they had the ball in their opponents thirty or. Forty BUT cj is just settling for field. Goals he could not move or advance the, ball and it was JUST i, MEAN i don't pep remember their kicker felt like every game it was getting like five field. Goals it was just bizarre award where they just could not score offensively and that cost. Him earlier the, year what they start owing, three chatter was owing. Four it was something crazy like. That and they obviously turn it around and still made the, playoffs but they didn't win their division because of. 00:13:03 Speaker 3: It, right that's Why jacksonville. 00:13:05 Speaker 2: Did so just projecting, out we expect them to have a better season they did last, year, right not to start as. Poor the bringing back the eleven, STARTERS i can't be banging people over the head enough about how crazy that, Is like this is already a top three. Defense the connuity now of having those guys back With demko, again it's just it's all ON. 00:13:23 Speaker 3: Cj so just value, WISE i like. 00:13:26 Speaker 2: IT i have them at eleven, wins so nine and a, half no problem betting that over if you want to divisionally their plus one twenty no issue betting that. Either and we'll obtually get these other. Teams but it's just it's all lined up For. Houston they're far and above to, me the

best team this. Division the question would be their offensive line obviously IN. Cj but WHEN i look at both those obstacles right, NOW i do think their their offense line is going to be better than it has been years, previously which isn't saying. 00:13:51 Speaker 1: Much, well, look that's where they put their that's where they put their. Money and there's a lot of questions right, now and there's been a lot of speculation during the. Offseason did they do, enough did they pay attention to? It it's not where it's not where anyone feels like it should be, yet but they did spend a first round pick on. It Keelan rutledge from the guard From Georgia. Tech they Added Braden smith from The, Colts they Added Wyatt teller from The, browns they Added Evan brown from The. Cards, like they're basically GIVEN cj a brand new offensive. Line so part of, that, okay they're. Recognizing part of that is everyone knows how important it is for an offensive line to be coordinated and play well. Together so was that going to be a hindrance early in the, Year and Again it's also about the. Offense they continue to change offensive coordinators on this, team and how are they going to find an offense that plays To CJ's. Strengths his ability to throw the ball down field was always something that separated him and be accurate with those and that's been getting increasingly. Worse like it's weird to be thinking that we're talking ABOUT. Cj shroud as the reason why this team might not win the, division but it kind of is all on him at this. Point he is the difference between this team being a Super bowl contender in an incredibly competitive conference and this team again needed to rely, on you, know their field goal kicker and their. Defense that's what it. Is that's. 00:15:33 Speaker 2: It, Yeah and it's and like you, said IT'S. Cj as they've gone tape on, him we said he's regressed in many. Ways but that's that's the way the league, is, Right they're going to keep attacking their strengths and try to expose your. Weaknesses and we've seen that over the. YEARS i mean that those playoff games Against pittsburgh And New. ENGLAND i can't get that out of my. Mind that's WHY i, mean you donhim in bad AND i think about him as a top ten, guys he's not even a top fift, team maybe potentially top. Twenty he's played that poor in such a, Games so huge year For Cjing and obviously contract, wise they if you had done what he needed to, do he had been paid right, Now, yea he knows obviously what's going on as. 00:16:10 Speaker 3: Well so, yeah it's it's all there For. Houston it's all up for. 00:16:14 Speaker 2: Them AND i obviously love the fact they they won the division last year because it helps them with an easier. Schedule but we'll, see it's the way the league is the new. Year it's there's not that big of a difference between the two or the one in your. Division, right instead of playing The, patriots they Played Josh. Allen now like that that actually does kind of. Matter so, yeah it's it's all there For. 00:16:34 Speaker 1: Houston quick word from our friends at Hard. Rock today's show is brought to you by our presenting, sponsor Hard Rock Bet.

Tennessee speaking Of, Florida Simon Jacksonville, Jaguars Liam, COHNE i think we both both. Agree we love this. Guy, huge Huge Liam cohne, Fans and one of our favorite conversation points last year Was Liam cohne's facial expressions When Trevor lawrence made an, idiotic boneheaded, mistake or the way he would not even Bailed Trevor lawrence out when it was getting so late in the playclock and he was clearly in the wrong play and was trying to get out of. It Meeting Trevor lawrence And William cogan would not call a time. Out he would just be, like screw, You we're taking the five yard. Penalty you're gonna come over, Here i'm gonna yell at. You i'm going to explain to you what you're supposed to, do and hopefully at some point it gets into your pretty little. Head so what happens this? Year they go thirteen and? Four last year they win the? Division can they run it? Back Is Trevor lawrence? Smarter is this a team that has the? Talent, because, LIKE i think their defense is pretty, good AND i do think that like, offensively there are

moments Where Trevor lawrence is clearly the best quarterback in the. Division so why DON'T i want to bet on this? Team? 00:19:54 Speaker 2: Yeah, Right and it's a team that come into this, YEAR i would shocked to see that. 00:19:59 Speaker 3: They weren't the favorite Over. 00:20:01 Speaker 2: Houston and maybe you could, say well that is because the first best schedule and all, that but, yeah that it's a team in the second half of the season you could say they were probably the best team in. 00:20:09 Speaker 3: FOOTBALL i, mean That's. 00:20:11 Speaker 1: William cohen did last year to get this team turned around was was, amazing. 00:20:17 Speaker 2: And they just were so well coached offensive by, like you, know me And chad were Giving trevor with to ours hard time because he looked like an. Idiot he looked totally lost for the first six seven, weeks which that makes sense in a new, offense but we were really based on our opinion of How leean was treating, him like how we both envisioned. That and obviously the second Half trevor was what we've all expected to, be, right this number one, pick this guy who's you know when of the top raighted players ever come out of high school dominated college and then came to the league and in that draft, class he's, only honestly the only one left. Standing he really was a tier above everyone else in many, ways and just watching him, play we see the. 00:20:53 Speaker 3: Talent it's just so. 00:20:54 Speaker 2: Inconsistent AND i Mean chad said their defense was improved last. Year now to me that same. Thing they didn't improve the offensive, line WHICH i thought was really. Interesting you, know they have a ton of talent receiving, wise, right we already know you Know. HUNTER i believe now they've saying he's going to be a, cornerback WHICH i agree. WITH i don't think they need another. Receiver they're they're good in that. Position but the fact that they're gonna just what we took it from the get. Go there's a reason there aren't two way players in this. League the body can't hold. Up his first, season he didn't even last and you can say that was a fluke, injury but it's what we've been. Preaching it's just it's different than college. Football this is grown men hitting you. Consistently in this, league it's really hard to have your body hold, up let alone taking hits and delivering. Hits thank, God hunter is now going to play one, position WHICH i think is gonna better for The. Jaguars BUT i think as a CORNER i much prefer him THAN i do. 00:21:45 Speaker 3: As wide, receiver especially folk work. 00:21:47 Speaker 2: Wise so you, know the Reason i'm not crazy about betting this team is just BECAUSE i do think they're gonna have a. REGRESSION i do, think as WHICH i Love Liam COB's. OFFENSE i think giving these other teams an offseason a look at what they did With Trevor, lawrence they're going to attack. 00:22:02 Speaker 3: That can he adjust that you know to be. 00:22:04 Speaker 2: Seen but it's just WHEN

i look at in this whole, division who is the most dominant GROUP i do Put houston way above everyone else with that. DEFENSE i just think that is such a dominant. GROUP i know exactly What i'm. GETTING i have too many questions still about This jaguars, team not just, defensively you, know not that they weren't lucky last, year but they had a lot of bears to, them a lot of turnover luck where The, bears as bad as their defense might have, been what was it a thirty three thirty five year old safety of, Yours, CHAD i forget who it. Was we had like five, PICKS i feel, like and it was like four games in a. ROW a lot of things bounce their Way bears wise. Defensively feels the same way with The. Jaguars, now it's good, coaching, right putting your guys in the right. Position but we talk all the. Time when you look at those, charts you have to bet regression on certain sides of the, ball AND i think there will be aggressing defensively on the turnover luck and. OFFENSIVELY i know they're trying to say it's not a big deal los an etn and have a two and step in, there but that's gotta be somewhat of a DOWNGRADE i Mean etn was a different player than. TWO i know tunes run through your, type run through your face type of running, back but he doesn't have the finest That etn. Had so that's gonna be another adjustment that teams you have to make so they're right there With. 00:23:12 Speaker 3: Houston. 00:23:13 Speaker 2: OBVIOUSLY i know professional betters that have to take a position On jaguars just because you're getting plus two ten plus two twenty f books right now, divisionally BUT i think the books are telling themselves a little, bit. Right that's such a huge delta between these. Two even THOUGH i think public perceptions these teams are pretty close to each, other well they're really. Not like my model has, Obviously houston way above This jaguars. 00:23:34 Speaker 3: Team So i'm not gonna fall for the. 00:23:36 Speaker 2: TRAP i MIGHT i might look a little towards the over and their win totals as we get closer to the, season just because this, DIVISION i mean we're Not we're about to getting The colts into a. Minute it's just it feels like there's ones they be have in this division this upcoming. Year SO i don't hate, that but, divisionally something is. OFF i just DON'T i don't trust those odds at plus two. TEN i think they're trying to suck me in here on, this on This jaguars team that their divisional. 00:24:00 Speaker 1: Odds it is a very juicy number WHEN i look at, it getting over plus two hundred on The jags in a division they won last year with a coach that we really believe. IN i agree with you about Etn they also Lost Devin, lloyd who sort of had that career year at the exact moment he needed to have. It he's. Gone we talked about that on THE Nfc south. Episode what they really did was they just invested in re signing some of their best. Players at the top of that Is Travon. Walker they gave him one hundred and ten million, dollars you,

know former number one overall, pick the guy famously taken right Before Aden. Hutchinson and he's been, good but not. DOMINANT i think what he's really been is sort of a really good balance for the other side of that defensive. Line so you've really got to believe In Trevor lawrence if you're gonna take a shot at the plus two ten. Here that that's what really gives me the biggest, pause BECAUSE i want to take. IT i want to take it so. Badly it just feels like too much of a, difference like you, said between plus one twenty for The texans and plus two ten for The, jaguars too, much too. Much they're begging, Me they're kind of begging me to do. 00:25:29 Speaker 3: It it's a. 00:25:31 Speaker 1: Trip that's Why i'm not going to do. IT i didn't even make a note on. It i'm not going to do. It you mentioned The colts what a bummer right like they were crushing. It Daniel jones was on. Fire you. KNOW i mentioned in THE qb episode quarterbacks who were in top ten in BOTH epa per drop back and success, rate and the list included, illuminaries you, know Like. Mattheword hold, ON i want to look at the exact list here for a, second because it Was, Stafford Drake, May Jordan love brought, party but also on that, List Mac, Jones Daniel. Jones Daniel jones didn't get a sniff for top ten, quarterback even though if you had asked anybody before he was injured last, year would he have qualified as a top ten? Quarterback of, course because he was playing at AN mvp. Level so they start off eight and two Finish you know what did they? Finish eight and? Nine And i'm sorry they start off six and? Two what was it eight and two or six and? Two let me look at my. 00:26:42 Speaker 3: Notes. 00:26:42 Speaker 1: Two, yeah started eight and two and then they missed the playoffs for the fifth straight. Season Sas, gardner they give up their first round picks for. Him he was not. Great Daniel jones is now recovering from a torn of killes plus three seventy five to win the. DIVISI i don't think this team got, Better, Simon like they added their biggest additions Were ard And, key a defensive end from The titan offrom The, titans and they got rid Of Michael pittman in favor Of Alec. Pearce it was now. Injured this team did not get. BETTER i feel badly for them BECAUSE i felt like they had a shot last. 00:27:20 Speaker 3: Year, yeah and this feels like it's the year before the. 00:27:24 Speaker 2: Year in my, opinion you Have Daniel jones coming off a major, injury and this Isn't mahomes. Type this Is Daniel jones coming off a major. Injury we don't expect them to step right in and be an elite level. Quarterback last year he was building to be an elite level, quarterback, Right AND i mean. 00:27:40 Speaker 3: We made the running. 00:27:41 Speaker 2: Joke i've never in my life ever had a team hit my win, total which they. Weren't total was seven and a. Half last, year the chat said they were eight and. Two they hit their win total was the end Of october or Early. November they didn't win another game the rest of the. Year like you just it just doesn't, happen, right and. 00:27:58 Speaker 3: The. 00:27:59 Speaker 2: Sink, yeah the mentality of this, TEAM i JUST i have major. Questions and in the, SEASON i MEAN i Know manmacher was in our chests and With Chris, ballard who he painally said he turned. Down he turned down a contract to start the year because he wants to win before signing a new. DEAL i feel like the fans in the same boat as. Me they just they need something different in. THERE i hope the owners listen to their fans and they just as much as he's, TRIED i do not Fall. Chris he's every he's trying to get a different. Quarterback remember that whole run we had The Matt, ryan The Philip rivers every year trying to find a. Guy Carson Wentz no one faults, him, right it was just a lot to put on a guy's plate After Andrew luck retired on them and they just never found their. Way and last year was the way they had the. TEAM i felt, like right they had the. Offense you know that we're not even talking About Alex. Pierce how big of a deal that. Is this kid might start in the pump like that's their by far number one, receiver especially now they got rid Of. Pittman you, know it's just it feels like next year we'll be all. 00:28:53 Speaker 3: In on The. 00:28:54 Speaker 2: Colts that's honestly HOW i feel, like get Get Daniel jones. BACK i know he's trying to rush back right. 00:28:58 Speaker 3: NOW i hate. 00:28:59 Speaker 2: It it's, like, dude you had an achilles. Tear you're a mobile. Quarterback please take your. TIME i, mean as you don't want to See Anthony richardson going there and potentially steal your. JOB i think we think most of us agree you're. Safe like that, kid he's just not gonna figure out like. That what he needs to figure out is going to take years to figure. Out SO i just from my, standpoint how do you bet anything into their Over everything on this team screams. Under it just not from a season from, hell because they still have, talent, right they still Have Jonathan taylor And Tyler warren on, offense and if it Is Anthony, RICHARD i Think shane sticking about was scheming. Up this is one of the great best schemers. EVER i, mean we've seen what he's done and since he's been in The, colts he always finds a way to make get the most of the talent he has an. Offense But chad said it like they didn't really add much, right because they're kind of handcuffed because they just tried to go so. Big The Sauce gardner trade might be one of the worst trades, Ever like giving up multiple first round picks for that, guy and we've seen the trademark and other. Players you, know would you rather have him Or Miles. Garrett it's not even the, contest so it, is and it's tough with This colts. TEAM i want to be, POSITIVE i want to like, them BUT i could easily see them being. 00:30:09 Speaker 3: Fourth place in this division this. 00:30:10 Speaker 2: Year it's it's going to be really close to than The tennessee and

it doesn't feel like it's. Them but this feels like a five win. Team if you have a quarterback coming back to early off. INJURY i think it's going to lack a lot of confidence in the locker room and that's just going to great. Turmoil Where as much AS i respect shanstike, AND i don't know if you can overcome all that. Drama and you, know this is going to be a tougher. Division it's be interviewous years like That Jaguars houston. Team you, know as much as we like to think The colts can split it with, THEM i could easily see both those teams sweeping This colts. Team so it's it's dark right now for my view on This colts team's upcoming. 00:30:42 Speaker 1: Season what a bad run For Indianapolis Sports Dance june of what year was? It twenty twenty? Five Tyris halliburton has an epic, run taking The pacers to the final tearr's his. Achilles The colts come out looking like world beaters eight and. Two shane steiken finally gets to be in his. Bag we both Love Shane. STEIKEEN i think he's. AMAZING i think what he's done with that, team various, quarterbacks you, know transitioning NonStop From Anthony richardson To, Gardner minshew To Daniel, jones like he has found ways to make that team, competitive really, impressive, stock really Stoic Daniel, Jones tarr's his. Achilles they go all in For Sauce gardner and it all falls, apart so now they don't have draft. Picks, meanwhile The Indiana pacers they goll in for the center from The clippers whose NAME i can't remember or pronounce appropriate properly right, now and they give up the chance to get one of the four players coming out of college basketball this year in the draft because they lose their lottery position with the trade they made with The. Clippers that is just an epically bad run in lacking new talent and your best players tearing. 00:32:08 Speaker 2: Achilles you got from, me you Got signetti and The. Hoosiers you're gonna be, Fine. 00:32:13 Speaker 1: Indiana, well you know it's. FUNNY i was In indie last week and my uber driver we were, talking and all we did was talk about THE iu football. Team he was in the playoffs last. YEAR i went to the playoffs last. Year it was so freaking. Glorious most people could probably see THE iu wins poster over my. Shoulder but that's. True we did Get indiana. Football it's too bad for The colts and The. Pacers, THOUGH i THINK i might be the only one who cares about indie sports outside Of. Indianapolis, OKAY i guess that's ALL i gotta say about. That let's do a word from Z. Biotics, Matt summer's almost. Here you know what that. Means beautiful, weather long, days cocktails on the. Patio, also we both know that after a few stiff, drinks we don't bounce back like we used. To sometimes we've had to choose between a great night or a great next. Day but that was Before. Matt we tried pre alcohol Z. Biotics pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered, probiotic invented BY PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after.

Titans when it was time to bet against, them we couldn't do. It we wouldn't do it when it was time to bet on. Them we couldn't do. It we wouldn't do. It this, year it's a brand new. Ballgame robert sala is the new. Coach brian Dave ball is the new offensive coordinator after his stint with The. Giants Gus, bradley longtime defensive coordinator former head, coach is now the defensive coordinator for The Tennessee. Titans Cam. Ward we saw a lot of potential with Cam. Ward they finished three and fourteen plus eight hundred to win the, division sixty to one to win The, conference one hundred and fifty to one to win The Super. Bowl here's WHAT i thought was. Interesting so they Got Carnel ta From Ohio state in the first. Round they also Drafted Keldrick fall From auburn on the. Edge they Gave Jeffrey simmons a massive new, deal their biggest wide receiver free, agent Signing Wandale. Robinson Brian daball favorite with The. Giants they signed Former Jet John Franklin myers to a big, deal and they traded for Former Jet Jermaine. Johnson Is robert solid just trying to reconstitute The New York jets in the middle Of. Nashville what is happening. 00:36:30 Speaker 3: HERE i love our. 00:36:32 Speaker 2: Fans we talked way too much for the. HONESTY i had someone dam me a meme of when we mean you were going to talk About, tennessee and it's Of Matt damon tied to the bow of the, ship screaming when the sirens that it should honestly be me And Chad we should be just screaming at top of our, lungs tied to the, bows not able to swim away Toward

Tennessee, titans who we. 00:36:51 Speaker 1: Love, yeah it's so. 00:36:53 Speaker 3: TRUE i am tempted here plus eight hundred to win the. Division i'm not gonna. 00:36:57 Speaker 2: LIE i did place a little bet because we talked all the time about the new coach bump and the year two. Bump, right DO i really believe Cam wore is gonna take this giant? Step, no because he just had a lost. Season but the potential is. There we see time to top again in THE. Nfl like the talent level these quarterbacks is so. High if you can just get it in between before these defense can figure you, out you can steal a. Season that's just how it is in this, league where it's, like well. 00:37:22 Speaker 1: Look At Drake may and look At Kayla, Bipes yeah. 00:37:25 Speaker 2: Exactly it's, like but any of us had seen them becoming the one and two seeds last? Year no or two seeds for both. Divisions, no it's you know the. Conferences you just don't see these things. Coming so WHY i look at this, Team it's LIKE i still see major, holes major. 00:37:39 Speaker 3: Weaknesses can solid correct that stuff on? Defense? Sure? Offensively is Is tate really gonna be that? Guy you? 00:37:45 Speaker 2: Know Is pollard gonna be the number one back that they need to step up and be a workhorse for them because you can't put it all On. 00:37:50 Speaker 3: Cam we saw last year right. 00:37:52 Speaker 2: With cam how many bets do we Lose shad in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter because cam or tried to do too Much and we don't fault them for that a rookie making rookie. Mistakes But, SALA i don't, know if you watch A tv, show it felt like they were very gentle to him last. Year Cam Ward sala is not that. Guy SALA'S i think he's gonna be in his face being, like you're losing me, games were costing me. Games i'm not gonna waste my time in another quarterback like this like this really would be a true test here to me for Cam. Ward maybe they give him another year after, this but the draft class is so good. Upcoming if they're number, two number three pick on this upcoming, draft it would be really hard at A gm to pass on this draft. Class as much AS i love Cam ward AND i think he's a ton of, talent you just have to do what's best for. 00:38:35 Speaker 3: Organization that's restart. 00:38:37 Speaker 2: Over AND i really do think Cam they've supported, Him they've put pieces around. Him will the offensive line be better than it was last? Year they need to, be because he was too much pressure in his face. Consistently and you, KNOW i look at this team WHERE i can SEE i can see the talent. There and If salad does come in and changes this whole mentality, team there is something to boat off of. It AM i gonna tell people ON ourt that listen to this that bet this team Over. Houston. NO i have much more faith In. Houston better, value in my, Opinion houston a lot of that. Stuff SO i JUST i think the numbers too. BIG a plus eight hundred is too. BIG i have a plus six. Hundred the numbers thrown off too. MUCH i think The colts is getting too much love from the sports, book AND i think that's, why in my, opinion you're getting free value here this on This tennessee. 00:39:23 Speaker 3: Team they're not gonna be as bad as they were last. 00:39:25 Speaker 2: Year i'm telling you, guys it's just as much as we, think, well, okay maybe they'll steal one or two games that they didn't steal last. YEAR i agree with that, sentiment BUT i think you know what are they had six. Wins that's where their win totals this. Year six and a. 00:39:37 Speaker 1: Half, yeah six and a. HALF i could see. 00:39:40 Speaker 3: Him getting the seven or eight. Wins. 00:39:41 Speaker 2: Chat it's just that big of a BUMP i think From salah and Cam. Ward SO i am highing this. Team what in this division, Though it's just you need so many things to break your. Away you need a lot of things go wrong In, houston not only injury, luck but you need their defense to follow up part and then we've already talked nowage about The. Jaguar and you, know even if they regress a little, BIT i still Think, liamp you get that team to ten, Wins Like that's how good of a COACH i Think Liam cohen. Is so it's just it's hard for me to see this team be a playoff team to win this. Division but if you want to take their win, TOTAL i don't hate. THAT i can see them getting seven or eight. Wins it's, just you, know for me to be all on The titans, Team i'm gonna wait another. Year i'm gonna be patient, here But i'm excited the fact that they did go get a new. Coach they are trying to support Cam, ward and it's it's it's what you want to see, organizationally if you're a fan of The Tennessee, titans it's it feels like it's the year before the. 00:40:30 Speaker 1: Year the parallels now THAT i think about, it between The Bears Ben, Johnson Caleb williams and The Patriots Mike, Rabel Drake may and The Titans Robert Sala Cam mooard are, interesting, right new, coach new, energy second year quarterback who showed flashes opportun unity to. Improve, now if you and you, know The bears got, lucky, right they had great sort of fortuitous opportunities Between Michael parsons getting injured and The lions offensive line being in shambles AND jj McCarthy not being the answer and The patriots had a really great run with their schedule and some tough losses by The. Bills so you, know if you both. 00:41:30 Speaker 2: Played the fourth base schedule, right chat someone youkognoledge, about it doesn't. 00:41:33 Speaker 1: Matter it doesn't. Matter like if you squint you can see. It. Now the difference, is Is Robert Salad Ben, Johnson, like is that a? Match? No Is Robert thalid that he have the same kind of success In aura That Mike rabel had before he went To New. England, No so it's not a perfect, comparison but superficially it's. There and then it's like you got to believe That Brian dayball can do for Cam ward what a lot of people allege he did For Josh, allen and that's how we ended up getting The giants. Job now you could also say didn't really do that much in the. End was he that great of a? Coach we don't. Know so there's also ways in which the comparison completely falls. Apart but IF i were doing, THIS i would take the flyer on the plus eight. HUNDRED i would not take the flyer on over their season win to just better, value like take a little bit smaller taste and have a little more. 00:42:24 Speaker 2: Upside, yeah and our dream scenario would be it's week, sixteen seventeen And tennessee's a game Behind houston and we can find a position. 00:42:32 Speaker 3: Aheage SO i totally. Agree that's WHY i threw a little on the plus eight Hun. 00:42:36 Speaker 2: DREDGES i Bet houston plus one to twenty didn't touch The jaguars didn't touch the cold. Type put a little bet on This tennessee. TEAM i just think when you had the same mentality that new coach year two quarterback. Bump it sounds crazy here In, august but you know it just happens time and time again in THE. 00:42:52 Speaker 1: Nfl little little tiny. Taste all, right, listen THAT'S Thefc south.
