- 0:57Speaker 1: all right.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Welcome back, oh phoebe here from the Raise of Kane Studio.
- 1:03Speaker 4: I am fired up for the World Cup. Always fired
- 1:05Speaker 4: up for the World Cup. It's one of my favorite
- 1:07Speaker 4: sporting events. Anything that like doesn't happen every year.
- 1:12Speaker 2: It's like the Olympics.
- 1:13Speaker 4: You get fired up for the Olympics, and we got
- 1:15Speaker 4: fired up for like Team USA in the hockey. I
- 1:18Speaker 4: love something that is like spread out like that. Now, look,
- 1:22Speaker 4: we love the Super Bowl and the World Series and
- 1:24Speaker 4: the NBA Finals have been fantastic. But there is something
- 1:26Speaker 4: about when you don't have access to something every single
- 1:30Speaker 4: year and you only get it, you know, every so often.
- 1:34Speaker 4: I think that it just adds to the stakes because
- 1:36Speaker 4: think about it, like you can be you know, you're
- 1:38Speaker 4: you're twenty four years old and you didn't make the
- 1:40Speaker 4: World Cup roster. It's like, man, I'm going to be
- 1:42Speaker 4: twenty eight the next time this comes around, Like, am
- 1:44Speaker 4: I going to be good?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Enough to make it then it's like something too. Just
- 1:49Speaker 2: not having.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Access to it every single year that just you know,
- 1:52Speaker 4: raises it to another level.
- 1:55Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I mean, you see it with a couple
- 1:58Speaker 5: of different sporting events, right, and World Cup certainly probably
- 2:01Speaker 5: the most popular outside of you know, the Olympics.
- 2:04Speaker 6: That's kind of like that.
- 2:05Speaker 5: It's a lot of training and a lot of time
- 2:11Speaker 5: and a lot of just emotions put in into that
- 2:14Speaker 5: one event. Yeah, and the fact that it's all you know,
- 2:19Speaker 5: focused around sports is awesome because all that preparation, all
- 2:23Speaker 5: that time, all that waiting, the country's hopes, everybody watching,
- 2:27Speaker 5: and it can all come down to pen on a kick, right,
- 2:32Speaker 5: It all come down to one little moment.
- 2:34Speaker 4: It can come down to if I'm the if I'm
- 2:38Speaker 4: the keeper, do I dive left or right?
- 2:40Speaker 6: Do I dive left or right? That's it?
- 2:43Speaker 2: Uh huh And four years of yeah, getting.
- 2:46Speaker 5: And that's what's always so heart bread, that's what's so
- 2:48Speaker 5: captivating about these types of events. And like that's why
- 2:51Speaker 5: I like the Olympics so much. It's like that, all
- 2:54Speaker 5: the training in the hours and the dedicating everything to you,
- 2:58Speaker 5: it comes down to like one flip or one spin
- 3:01Speaker 5: or one whatever it is, one sweep of a broom
- 3:04Speaker 5: on the curling rink. It's just it's it's awesome and
- 3:09Speaker 5: that's why you lock in, even if you aren't a
- 3:12Speaker 5: fan of that sport.
- 3:13Speaker 6: Right.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Hey, I don't watch soccer, but I'll watch the World Cup.
- 3:17Speaker 5: I don't watch figure skating, but I watch it in
- 3:20Speaker 5: the Olympics. I don't watch track and field, but I'm
- 3:23Speaker 5: locked in during the Olympics, right like that, And that's
- 3:27Speaker 5: what is that's what's so cool about these things and
- 3:30Speaker 5: on the world stage.
- 3:31Speaker 6: And I know that.
- 3:32Speaker 5: I'm like in America, a lot of people like me
- 3:35Speaker 5: are in the minority worldwide when it comes like I
- 3:38Speaker 5: don't lock into soccer except for this. So I can
- 3:41Speaker 5: just imagine like being a soccer fan that is locked
- 3:45Speaker 5: in throughout and then all of a sudden you get this.
- 3:48Speaker 5: It's kind of like me watching golf, because I'm usually
- 3:50Speaker 5: locked in with golf. It's like, and then the Ryder
- 3:52Speaker 5: Cup comes. Now that's every two years, so it's not
- 3:54Speaker 5: like an every four year thing, but like it's I
- 3:56Speaker 5: watch it, and then you got this big event that
- 3:58Speaker 5: you can.
- 3:58Speaker 6: Look forward to.
- 3:59Speaker 5: So I'm excited about it. I'm looking for I'm looking
- 4:02Speaker 5: forward to just the scenes around, you know, college stadiums,
- 4:05Speaker 5: pro stadiums, just everything.
- 4:06Speaker 6: It's gonna be gonna be really fun.
- 4:08Speaker 4: I mean, Argentina played uh at Auburn, so like that's
- 4:13Speaker 4: not something I thought i'd ever say.
- 4:14Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, MESSI walking off, Yeah, MESSI walking off
- 4:18Speaker 5: the field of Jordan Air.
- 4:21Speaker 2: We should have had one of those here, probably a little.
- 4:22Speaker 6: Too hot, Maybe we should have what didn't we?
- 4:26Speaker 2: I don't know what else.
- 4:32Speaker 4: It is like the part of it that is cool,
- 4:34Speaker 4: Like you mentioned, I think I am somebody as as
- 4:37Speaker 4: you know, love soccer, so like I love watching all
- 4:40Speaker 4: the Americans in their different clubs.
- 4:42Speaker 6: There's so many different leagues.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Worldwide that they can play in, be it here or
- 4:46Speaker 4: be it you know, over in Europe or South America
- 4:49Speaker 4: or Mexico, so many different leagues. But it's you know,
- 4:52Speaker 4: you see them progress with their team and then they
- 4:54Speaker 4: kind of all come together to try to make the
- 4:56Speaker 4: best possible squad that you can for the US. And
- 4:59Speaker 4: look when fosters come out, there's always like, hey, why
- 5:01Speaker 4: didn't you include that guy? Wait a minute, that guy
- 5:03Speaker 4: got left out, and so like those are big, even
- 5:05Speaker 4: the roster announcements of who's going to be playing in
- 5:08Speaker 4: the matches is always a lot of fun, but there's
- 5:10Speaker 4: probably also something pretty cool, like for you, like you
- 5:13Speaker 4: don't know what in the world is going on, you're
- 5:15Speaker 4: just rooting for America.
- 5:16Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I know a little bit.
- 5:18Speaker 5: When I was in Green Bay, me and Graham Harrell
- 5:21Speaker 5: used to play FIFA World Cup soccer, so I pretty
- 5:24Speaker 5: much know all the rules.
- 5:26Speaker 6: There's three rules of soccer.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Man, you say that, No, there's truely, no, there's truly
- 5:31Speaker 4: three rules to soccer. Don't touch the ball with your hand,
- 5:37Speaker 4: don't cherry pick, so don't be all sides, and don't
- 5:43Speaker 4: be an a hole.
- 5:44Speaker 6: Okay, that's the three rules of soccer. Okay, what is
- 5:48Speaker 6: Why are they called cherry picking?
- 5:50Speaker 4: You know, like you're playing pickup basketball and you're just
- 5:52Speaker 4: like you're not playing defense. You're just standing under the goal, right,
- 5:56Speaker 4: just waiting for them and they're just going to pass it
- 5:57Speaker 4: to you. That's why all sides was created. I mean,
- 6:00Speaker 4: just like hockey outside same situation.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I mean, hockey and soccer rules are very very very similar.
- 6:07Speaker 2: A little bit tougher in hockey the player.
- 6:10Speaker 6: Just at about.
- 6:13Speaker 4: But yes, I mean same same set of rules, like
- 6:17Speaker 4: you have to have a defender past the point when
- 6:20Speaker 4: the ball is sent to you, just so you don't
- 6:24Speaker 4: sit there and hang out by the goal of the
- 6:25Speaker 4: entire time. And so like that's a strategy. Like teams
- 6:28Speaker 4: like play a line that's going to be a little
- 6:31Speaker 4: bit farther back. If you're a team that's got like
- 6:33Speaker 4: a lot of speed, and they're gonna like, if they
- 6:36Speaker 4: feel like you don't have that much athletic ability, they're
- 6:39Speaker 4: going to push up a little bit. So they're gonna
- 6:40Speaker 4: press you a little bit because they think their defenders
- 6:42Speaker 4: can keep up with your strikers.
- 6:43Speaker 2: So there's obviously strategy brought into it.
- 6:47Speaker 6: Just keep everybody in midfield.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Yeah, then you get a counter attack and you're in trouble. Nope,
- 6:56Speaker 4: you're in trouble at that point, Cayle counter you counter
- 7:00Speaker 4: Do we want to pick who we think is gonna
- 7:02Speaker 4: win the World Cup and you can't pick USA.
- 7:05Speaker 3: We do like a very quick research, real quick yeah right, yeah,
- 7:11Speaker 3: many teams are in this.
- 7:12Speaker 5: Man, will let me do a sixty four team situation.
- 7:19Speaker 7: SPAN's a good choice, Spain's a good choice. Matthew m h.
- 7:30Speaker 6: I don't even know who's in it?
- 7:33Speaker 8: The world World?
- 7:35Speaker 3: Okay, pick a country. There's a chance they're in it.
- 7:38Speaker 2: I mean, there's a really good chance.
- 7:39Speaker 6: You pick a country that they're in it. All right?
- 7:43Speaker 6: Who won the last time?
- 7:43Speaker 5: Columbia, No, Argentine, Argentina.
- 7:48Speaker 4: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Czech Republic, Canada, and Bosnia,

- 8:14Speaker 6: How's England's doing this year?
- 8:18Speaker 4: England is always really really good with an incredible squad.
- 8:21Speaker 4: But yes, they are known to not perform well on
- 8:25Speaker 4: the biggest stage.
- 8:26Speaker 6: This is their year, it's their year, England locking in.
- 8:32Speaker 2: You're going to England, all right? That's not Look, that's

- 15:51Speaker 6: Well, there was a lot of a lot of news was.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Made because there was a really one of the top
- 15:59Speaker 5: players the NFL gave some credit to somebody in a
- 16:03Speaker 5: division rival. Michaeh Parsons was interviewed and he was asked,
- 16:08Speaker 5: who is the best player in the NFL. He said
- 16:13Speaker 5: it was Caleb Williams.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Huh did he.
- 16:16Speaker 6: How about that?
- 16:19Speaker 8: I think that's something that.
- 16:20Speaker 6: Like, I think he's had a backtrack a little bit.
- 16:22Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Packers fans weren't necessarily thrilled with He's new.
- 16:27Speaker 2: To the rivalry between the Bears.
- 16:29Speaker 6: He's very new to that.
- 16:30Speaker 8: But wasn't he on the team when they played last
- 16:32Speaker 8: season or no, he wasn't there yet. That game was
- 16:35Speaker 8: That game was a little intense, and then at the
- 16:37Speaker 8: end when like Ben Johnson and Lafloor were.
- 16:40Speaker 6: I'm not sure if Mike was playing in that game
- 16:42Speaker 6: or had been hurt already.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Not not the playoffs, but the first regular season game
- 16:46Speaker 3: he played.
- 16:47Speaker 5: The shoulder slap of the backslap game or whatever is
- 16:50Speaker 5: that when he backslap lafloor.
- 16:53Speaker 8: Was that what it was?
- 16:55Speaker 6: Or was that a quick handshake?
- 16:56Speaker 8: It was like the yea, it was a quick and yeah.
- 17:01Speaker 5: Ben Johnson, great coach. He had a couple of like
- 17:03Speaker 5: little handshake moments. I'm like, hey, shake, shake many what
- 17:07Speaker 5: are we doing? But I did find it interesting that
- 17:10Speaker 5: we don't talk about yet about Caleb william on that
- 17:14Speaker 5: pedestal yet the greatest.
- 17:16Speaker 6: Player in a little bits. Oh buddy, that's a big thing.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Buddy, I went, it's funny.
- 17:20Speaker 4: I went all in on Caleb Williams yesterday on the
- 17:23Speaker 4: NFL show Welcome and my God. Did I have Packer
- 17:28Speaker 4: fans and Viking fans below or so? We take calls
- 17:32Speaker 4: like probably like eight a day calls. Oh, they were
- 17:36Speaker 4: not happy, And I was like, tell me why I.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Was, Jimbo.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Imagine Vikings fan they getting mad. It's like, buddy, you
- 17:45Speaker 3: have JJ McCarthy. You got your own issues.
- 17:49Speaker 2: And then I threw it out there.
- 17:50Speaker 4: I said, okay, I said outside of I said, I'll
- 17:52Speaker 4: give you three that I'm not going to have a
- 17:55Speaker 4: conversation about, I said Stafford Borough Allen. I was like,
- 18:00Speaker 4: but I don't know that. The list is much longer
- 18:01Speaker 4: than that. Before I gets to Kayleb Williams. Now that, well,
- 18:08Speaker 4: I'm coming out, I'll coming off injury, you know obviously,
- 18:12Speaker 4: So this wasn't like what they've done like this year.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Mahomes is like kind of the wild card because the
- 18:17Speaker 4: injury and if he comes back, it's Mahomes. And I
- 18:20Speaker 4: also said this, I said, Kayler Williams is the only
- 18:22Speaker 4: thing that we have that resembles Patrick. Mahomes is the
- 18:25Speaker 4: only thing now Bo Nick's, Jade Daniels, Drake May They
- 18:29Speaker 4: all have made it farther in the playoffs than Kayleb Williams,
- 18:32Speaker 4: no doubt, and we know what how we think about
- 18:34Speaker 4: those quarterbacks, but certainly JD five here on this show.
- 18:38Speaker 6: But you got to give Kayler Williams his credit.
- 18:43Speaker 5: Yeah, we've laundering out, but we have like that guy
- 18:48Speaker 5: when when they hired that was more than Yeah, for sure,
- 18:53Speaker 5: public nobody was talking about last year, but the people
- 18:56Speaker 5: were writing him off as a bust after the first
- 18:58Speaker 5: year with that and head coach e Refluce whatever whatever
- 19:02Speaker 5: his name was with that, because like, who's going to
- 19:05Speaker 5: be successful in that situation as a rookie quarterback, Like,
- 19:08Speaker 5: that's a no win situation. So last year to me
- 19:12Speaker 5: was like Taylor Williams first year. Yeah, That's how I
- 19:16Speaker 5: viewed it.
- 19:16Speaker 3: Which which is why I always hate the let's let's
- 19:20Speaker 3: bring in a rookie quarterback with a lame duckhead coach.
- 19:22Speaker 3: He's essentially starting over in here now.
- 19:24Speaker 5: And but when they hired Ben Johnson, like I had,
- 19:27Speaker 5: I had watched a lot of the Lions tape from
- 19:30Speaker 5: the year the previous year. I mean, like, this is
- 19:32Speaker 5: a legitimate offense right here. Yeah, it makes sense. They're
- 19:35Speaker 5: doing different things. The quarterback turns us back to the
- 19:38Speaker 5: d Like they're doing all the things that I would
- 19:41Speaker 5: like to think that I would do as a constructor
- 19:46Speaker 5: of an offense and a play caller. And so I
- 19:48Speaker 5: was like this guy, like I don't know if people
- 19:51Speaker 5: like forgot just because of like the talent that he
- 19:53Speaker 5: actually has. Yeah, he's the most talented probably quarterback in
- 19:58Speaker 5: the NFL, like current talent it wise in the NFL.
- 20:01Speaker 5: And I don't even say as far as the throw football,
- 20:05Speaker 5: the football, the runner can do it everything, throw off balance,
- 20:08Speaker 5: throw like.
- 20:09Speaker 8: Like any pressure too, like the the.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Arm strength, the accuracy that he can have like when
- 20:17Speaker 5: he plays in time, but like the throws that he
- 20:18Speaker 5: can make, nobody else is making him. Right now, this
- 20:21Speaker 5: was this was like Aaron Rodgers back, you know, when
- 20:24Speaker 5: he was in his prime as well, no one could
- 20:27Speaker 5: do things with the football that he could. I think
- 20:29Speaker 5: Caleb Williams is in that that same breath. So as
- 20:32Speaker 5: far as talent wise, now we'll see, like sky's the
- 20:35Speaker 5: limit for him.
- 20:36Speaker 6: But like for Michael Parsons.
- 20:37Speaker 5: To say this, people to get mad at him, it's
- 20:38Speaker 5: a little bit, you know, I get it, like it's
- 20:40Speaker 5: a division rival, Like there's certain lines you don't cross
- 20:45Speaker 5: in rivalries and sports in general. But he's just kind
- 20:50Speaker 5: of given credit because he's been on the field with him, right, Yeah,
- 20:53Speaker 5: and Green Bay has it has their own really good quarterback.
- 20:57Speaker 5: But the ceilings higher for Callab william that it is
- 21:00Speaker 5: for Jordan Love.
- 21:01Speaker 8: I think so too.
- 21:03Speaker 5: That's not taking anything away from Jordan Love. I think
- 21:05Speaker 5: he has shown that what was it two years ago,
- 21:09Speaker 5: no quarterback was playing better? It was that last games
- 21:12Speaker 5: Jordan Love, please say.
- 21:14Speaker 2: In my opinion, like so the ceiling is is not now.
- 21:18Speaker 4: I don't think he's gonna fall off the map, but
- 21:22Speaker 4: like when I'm watch him, like he's going to a
- 21:24Speaker 4: greade high in film, he's gonna get a lot of
- 21:26Speaker 4: check marks, and I'm like, you know what, I wish
- 21:30Speaker 4: you would have ripped that ball though in that window
- 21:32Speaker 4: right there, it might have gotten you a negative play.
- 21:35Speaker 2: But man, he does some not yeah, going back to
- 21:40Speaker 2: do too much?
- 21:41Speaker 4: He needs to find in twenty twenty three where he
- 21:45Speaker 4: was like really really good, but everybody was like, watch
- 21:47Speaker 4: to take some risk, like if through an interception, it's okay.
- 21:51Speaker 4: Remember the Tennessee game, He's like, you gotta throw that.
- 21:55Speaker 4: How many after that game he was the best quarterback
- 21:58Speaker 4: on the planet Coast football.
- 21:59Speaker 3: How many years his Jordan Love be the starter? Is
- 22:02Speaker 3: it three full seasons?
- 22:03Speaker 6: Now?
- 22:04Speaker 3: He's going into year four? Sound, I don't know a
- 22:09Speaker 3: year before and he's going into year four.
- 22:12Speaker 6: Going into your Aaron was two years of the Jets,
- 22:16Speaker 6: one year with the Sisters.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's going into your four. It's weird, Like
- 22:19Speaker 3: to Jake's point, like I just feel like when I
- 22:23Speaker 3: watch Jordan Love. I'm like, I still don't know what
- 22:25Speaker 3: he is, and he's going into year four. Like at
- 22:28Speaker 3: times you're like, oh, he's awesome. At times are like
- 22:32Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I like Jordan Love, but it's
- 22:34Speaker 3: like it's almost like you're going into year four and
- 22:36Speaker 3: you still don't quite know how good he is.
- 22:38Speaker 5: Kind of like the and I'm not making this comparison
- 22:41Speaker 5: because he's so much better, but like kind of comparison
- 22:45Speaker 5: to C. J. Stroud's playing his first year, I played
- 22:48Speaker 5: like the first year Jordan Love played towards the back half.
- 22:51Speaker 6: That scene and like lea'son, that's what we got the contract.
- 22:54Speaker 5: I was like, you better, like if you're in the
- 22:55Speaker 5: NFL or now, you want somebody else to beat the
- 22:58Speaker 5: Packers right now and get him out because you don't
- 23:00Speaker 5: want to face the way he's playing.
- 23:01Speaker 6: Nobody in the NFL is playing better than him.
- 23:05Speaker 5: Then since then, it's kind of been a regression, like consistently,
- 23:09Speaker 5: but you see those moments, you see those flashes, like
- 23:11Speaker 5: you see what he was doing, but he was doing
- 23:14Speaker 5: it week in week out. That first year. He was
- 23:16Speaker 5: a starter, and I compared to see the trout because
- 23:18Speaker 5: see the Stroud was like an incredible rookie year. Since then,
- 23:24Speaker 5: I think objectively a disaster since then.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Yeah, you may give you the the fifteen top graded quarterbacks,
- 23:31Speaker 4: and again, if you're grading something, you might get a
- 23:36Speaker 4: positive check mark or a negative one where I'm like,
- 23:38Speaker 4: I don't really care, I really like that, but I'm
- 23:41Speaker 4: just giving you, according to Pro Football Focus, the top
- 23:43Speaker 4: fifteen graded quarterbacks, and you had to play a certain
- 23:47Speaker 4: amount of snaps.
- 23:47Speaker 2: So the forty nine ers actually have two in there.
- 23:49Speaker 8: Oh okay.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Mac Jones comes in at fifteen, Cayleb Williams comes in
- 23:53Speaker 4: at fourteen, Bo Nick's at thirteen, Jared Golf at twelve,
- 23:57Speaker 4: Justin Herbert at eleven, Sam Darnold at ten, Jay one
- 24:00Speaker 4: Hurts at nine, Drake May at eight, Trevor Lawrence at seven,
- 24:03Speaker 4: Brock Perty at six, Dak Prescott at five, Jordan Love
- 24:07Speaker 4: at four, Josh Allen at three, Joe Burrow at two,
- 24:10Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford at one.
- 24:11Speaker 3: So that's what it goes back to. You said, like,
- 24:13Speaker 3: Jordan Love just feels safe at times, he kind of
- 24:15Speaker 3: backs down.
- 24:15Speaker 6: He's not going to get the negative heart.
- 24:17Speaker 5: It would be Josh Allen's a guy that seems like
- 24:20Speaker 5: not always going to grade the best, but he just
- 24:22Speaker 5: makes the blaze.
- 24:22Speaker 4: But also his running grade is going to help him
- 24:24Speaker 4: out in the fatality of the grade because he's got
- 24:26Speaker 4: a ninety point eight running grade. The only quarterback that's
- 24:30Speaker 4: even in the eighties in the top fifteen or two
- 24:35Speaker 4: Caleb Williams at eighty two point one and Justin Herbert
- 24:37Speaker 4: at eighty two point seven.
- 24:38Speaker 2: So that helps him out a ton in this.
- 24:40Speaker 4: If we went just if you wanted me to just go,
- 24:42Speaker 4: passing grade, just passing grade. It goes Stafford, Borough, Love, Prescott, Allen, Perty,
- 24:48Speaker 4: Lawrence Darnold, Golf Hurts, may Nicks, Jones, Jayden.
- 24:53Speaker 5: Daniels, and just to kind of like round out this
- 24:57Speaker 5: conversation a little bit about Parsons and what he said,
- 25:02Speaker 5: blah blah blah, I will be placing a bet on
- 25:05Speaker 5: Caleb Williams win the MVP this year.
- 25:08Speaker 3: The hype is there preseason for it. There for you
- 25:12Speaker 3: here too with Ben Johnson, got a little bit more weapons,
- 25:15Speaker 3: I think Colston, right, you need to be you need to.
- 25:19Speaker 5: Be good, you need to have impactful, you need to
- 25:23Speaker 5: be impactful in the win loss column. And they're going
- 25:25Speaker 5: to be good and he's going to have moments. It's
- 25:30Speaker 5: going to have moments.
- 25:31Speaker 2: How was their draft the Bears.
- 25:35Speaker 6: Yeah, he does radio for.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Him, So I do think real quick because they got
- 25:40Speaker 4: rid of DJ More for the second round sick, So
- 25:42Speaker 4: that's part of their draft process. I do think that
- 25:45Speaker 4: is because they think Luther Burden is about to blow up.
- 25:48Speaker 4: And Luther Burdens showed flashes.
- 25:51Speaker 2: A year ago. So they went left tackle.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Last year and so it's still a position that's a
- 25:59Speaker 4: little bit because they're like tackle they took in the
- 26:01Speaker 4: second round last year is going through an injury. So
- 26:04Speaker 4: they signed Jedrick Willis, who's certainly not been what they thought.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Remember they took Zavian Thomas in the third round. That
- 26:10Speaker 4: surprised a lot of people. Uh they went defense, uh
- 26:13Speaker 4: peneman from Oregon, safe, great player in the first round.
- 26:18Speaker 2: But their issues weren't on offense. Their issues were on defense.
- 26:21Speaker 4: Soccer Dennis Allen, they were bad, bad, and so they
- 26:25Speaker 4: signed Devin Bush from Cleveland. They signed Kobe Bryant from Seattle.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Those are two really good moves. They drafted them in
- 26:31Speaker 4: in the first round. Like I mentioned, Malik Muhammad from
- 26:34Speaker 4: Texas to him in the fourth round.
- 26:35Speaker 2: He's a stud in the fourth round. He kind of did, uh,
- 26:39Speaker 2: he's a really good player.
- 26:40Speaker 8: Or was it Barry On that I don't remember who
- 26:43Speaker 8: it was. But anyway, like I had stock in the
- 26:45Speaker 8: Bears last season, so I watched quite a bit of
- 26:48Speaker 8: their games, and I feel like defense sure was their weakness,
- 26:52Speaker 8: but I feel like they're pretty like well run team,
- 26:56Speaker 8: and like I really like that.
- 26:59Speaker 6: Yeah it's been a while.
- 27:01Speaker 8: Yeah, but I really like Ben Johnson.
- 27:04Speaker 6: Yeah. That being said, though, Gopat go beat the Bear's face.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bears are only going to get better. Man,
- 27:09Speaker 3: Like I saw this yesterday. Actually, it's weird we're talking
- 27:12Speaker 3: about this. Colston lovelin his last two games of the
- 27:15Speaker 3: regular season ninety four yards in a touchdown, ninety one
- 27:19Speaker 3: yards in a touchdown playoff a game against Green Bay,
- 27:22Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty seven yards on eight catches. He
- 27:25Speaker 3: had almost eight hundred yards receiving as a rookie tight
- 27:27Speaker 3: end last year. I mean, that's a guy and he
- 27:30Speaker 3: only started eleven games. That's a guy that he starts
- 27:33Speaker 3: all sixteen for you, he stays healthy. Like, that's a
- 27:36Speaker 3: potential top five tight end in the league. You give
- 27:38Speaker 3: a guy like that to Caleb Williams, he's only going
- 27:41Speaker 3: to go up from here.
- 27:44Speaker 6: They're gonna be in the conversation in January. Yep, they
- 27:46Speaker 6: will be there, not.
- 27:48Speaker 3: If JJ McCarthy has anything so about it.
- 27:50Speaker 8: Not if nine has it's right.
- 27:53Speaker 4: So, yeah, I don't Did you put him in your
- 27:55Speaker 4: winning twelve Maymber? We did the exercise games when I
- 27:58Speaker 4: put him in there?
- 27:58Speaker 8: I put him in there?
- 28:00Speaker 2: Did you?
- 28:00Speaker 6: I don't remember.
- 28:01Speaker 3: I got a I don't know.
- 28:02Speaker 8: Taylor didn't put anybody from that division, he said, because
- 28:04Speaker 8: it's such a good one.
- 28:06Speaker 5: So so nationally is everybody. What is the viewpoint on
- 28:09Speaker 5: the Bears this year?
- 28:11Speaker 2: I think so.
- 28:12Speaker 4: My co host Pat Krwin and I are pretty high
- 28:16Speaker 4: on them. I think people are reluctant to get themselves
- 28:20Speaker 4: over to elite like top tier status. They're kind of like,
- 28:24Speaker 4: we liked what we saw, we don't know if.
- 28:26Speaker 2: We can trust it for another year.
- 28:28Speaker 4: And they have a lot of issues about the defense
- 28:30Speaker 4: and did you do enough to improve that?
- 28:33Speaker 2: So, like I would say, like solid B tier type.
- 28:36Speaker 3: It's one of those things like do it again, how
- 28:39Speaker 3: do you navigate a tough division? Like That's where I'm at.
- 28:41Speaker 3: I think they're awesome. Like, do they win twelve? I
- 28:43Speaker 3: think they're closed.
- 28:44Speaker 8: I know Dennis Allen's going to get this right.
- 28:46Speaker 6: The division, I mean all Joseph Sidey's done pretty good
- 28:50Speaker 6: on defense.
- 28:51Speaker 2: They were real bad last year though.
- 28:52Speaker 8: Yeah, Caleb Williams plus fourteen hundred to win the MVP
- 28:57Speaker 8: favorites Josh Allen obviously plus five.
- 29:00Speaker 5: I'll tell it. Yeah, I mean the Bears make the run.
- 29:02Speaker 5: But my god, everybody's got to get through the Rams
- 29:06Speaker 5: this year.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing, right, Like the Seahawks ain't going nowhere.
- 29:13Speaker 6: No, They're going to La to play the Rams.
- 29:22Speaker 4: We did a fun exercise yesterday too, where we looked
- 29:25Speaker 4: at teams and what they where they finished last year,
- 29:28Speaker 4: and could we get to four teams that will win
- 29:31Speaker 4: five more games than they did last year? Four teams
- 29:35Speaker 4: to win five more than a year ago. You're doing
- 29:38Speaker 4: come back.
- 29:40Speaker 6: I want to do that. I want to actually like
- 29:41Speaker 6: not Toro today Thursday for a little bit. I don't
- 29:45Speaker 6: want to like just I just won't want to pull
- 29:47Speaker 6: something out of my ear.
- 29:49Speaker 4: Oh see you actually like, are you now if we
- 29:51Speaker 4: pushed to tomorrow, are you going to remember to do this?
- 29:56Speaker 6: That's a great point. We should just do it next
- 29:58Speaker 6: next sele.
- 29:58Speaker 2: We'll do it when we come back here on O TV.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Off the Bench two thousand and seven, Champs Purple and
- 30:13Speaker 1: Gold to the Core. This is Off the Bench with
- 30:16Speaker 1: Hester and Flynn, Matt and Rouge's go to for all
- 30:19Speaker 1: things Louisiana sports.
- 30:29Speaker 6: This was nice. This was good.
- 30:32Speaker 8: It is Yeah.
- 30:33Speaker 6: I like the whole intro, the sound coming in with
- 30:37Speaker 6: this in the back.
- 30:37Speaker 2: It hit, it hit.
- 30:39Speaker 6: I don't know, kind of like, this is good my job.
- 30:49Speaker 6: This should be a I feel like this should be
- 30:51Speaker 6: a staple.
- 30:54Speaker 8: Okay, you can make it a staple.
- 30:57Speaker 6: I don't know why. I'm just feeling it. Hits just
- 31:05Speaker 6: gonna hit anigh.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Notte can watch.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Some glasses shattered somewhere.
- 31:14Speaker 6: She did that name impressive.
- 31:17Speaker 4: All right, Before we give you our four teams that
- 31:19Speaker 4: we can see winning five more games than they did
- 31:21Speaker 4: a year ago in the National Football League, we want
- 31:24Speaker 4: to remind you abou our friends over kata z KTZ
- 31:26Speaker 4: Blinds dot com is the website for Katz and Tears
- 31:28Speaker 4: and Outdoor Living. Been in the game since two thousand
- 31:31Speaker 4: and four. That was a long time ago. How do
- 31:33Speaker 4: I know, Well, Flynn and I were freshman in college
- 31:36Speaker 4: back in two thousand and four. He was a red shirt.
- 31:38Speaker 4: I was a regular freshman. It was a very long
- 31:40Speaker 4: time ago, sir. And you don't stay in business that
- 31:42Speaker 4: long unless you're doing everything the right way. That's what
- 31:44Speaker 4: Brandon Barton and the team are going to do for you.
- 31:46Speaker 4: They're gonna know your space, learn your space, change your
- 31:48Speaker 4: space in a matter of minutes. It's outside, it's inside,
- 31:50Speaker 4: it's inside, it's outside, and sometimes, like for me, it's both.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Go to KTZ blinds dot com today, ktoz blinds dot com.
- 32:03Speaker 2: All right, let's see. Let's start with.
- 32:09Speaker 4: A Landra the four team that can win five more
- 32:13Speaker 4: games than they did a year ago.
- 32:15Speaker 8: Okay, so I don't know if I can get to four.
- 32:16Speaker 8: And I just told you on the breath that I
- 32:18Speaker 8: was kind of struggling with this assignment.
- 32:19Speaker 2: That's part of it from the homework. It's difficult.
- 32:22Speaker 8: So I said the giants and everybody was like, nah,
- 32:25Speaker 8: But I feel like with John Harbaugh Jackson Dart's second season,
- 32:31Speaker 8: Cam Scataboo.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, rvil reees, rvel rees.
- 32:37Speaker 6: He's got a legs.
- 32:38Speaker 8: He does have a leg if he has a brain.
- 32:44Speaker 8: But I mean, I don't feel very I told you
- 32:50Speaker 8: all that I'm kind of out on the Commanders, so
- 32:52Speaker 8: I feel like that could be a game that they win.
- 32:57Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 32:57Speaker 8: I told you I was struggling with this one. I'm
- 33:00Speaker 8: not gonna act like I know what I'm talking about.
- 33:03Speaker 6: Well, that's good.
- 33:05Speaker 8: The Giants and then the Cardinals only had three wins.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Default, I feel like I look when I when I
- 33:13Speaker 4: say my list, I'll go ahead and you'll get an idea.
- 33:16Speaker 4: This is a very difficult exercise to donati even a conversation.
- 33:24Speaker 8: I think the Bengals, they only had six wins last season.
- 33:28Speaker 8: I mean, Joe Burrow, you can't keep him down for
- 33:30Speaker 8: too long. I don't think so did some work in
- 33:32Speaker 8: the off season to build around him. So I don't
- 33:36Speaker 8: know the I'm gonna go Giants. I'm gonna go Cardinals
- 33:38Speaker 8: because they only had three wins. Cincinnati on the Jets
- 33:43Speaker 8: only had three wins too, but they're so bad. Titans
- 33:48Speaker 8: only had three, but they're also really bad now. The Chiefs,
- 33:52Speaker 8: I don't know, because Patrick Mahomes is coming off a
- 33:54Speaker 8: cl tiar, a c.
- 33:58Speaker 3: L and L and LCL, a tough ass division.
- 34:01Speaker 8: There's no way that I'm I don't know if I
- 34:05Speaker 8: can get myself to eleven wins with the Saints either,
- 34:09Speaker 8: So I don't know who i'd picked for the fourth one,
- 34:10Speaker 8: but there it is, all right.
- 34:12Speaker 4: And again I like the fact that you realized how
- 34:14Speaker 4: difficult this was, because five wins in the NFL is
- 34:16Speaker 4: very hard to do from one year to another. And
- 34:18Speaker 4: like Matt said, there's some teams that just they literally
- 34:21Speaker 4: can't like if you're in fourteen games, can't like pick the.
- 34:23Speaker 5: Worst schedule because it's the easiest to get that number
- 34:25Speaker 5: because they're the worst teams. Yeah, right, Cardinals three and whatever.
- 34:29Speaker 5: They were like, they're not getting.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Eight, all right, so I'll give you my four teams.
- 34:33Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:34Speaker 4: And I had actually a lot of the same thoughts
- 34:36Speaker 4: that Elandra had. I went with the New York Giants. Yeah,
- 34:39Speaker 4: they had four wins a year ago, they were four
- 34:42Speaker 4: and thirteen. I absolutely should all proceed them same four
- 34:45Speaker 4: getting to nine wins, Like with the moves that they've made,
- 34:48Speaker 4: if they can stay healthy, they had some young players
- 34:50Speaker 4: to step up. Now, Malik Neighbors and his health, that's
- 34:53Speaker 4: going to be a key portion of this. But I
- 34:56Speaker 4: like Francis mal Noah in the draft I like matl Fields.
- 35:00Speaker 4: In the draft, you went out and you drafted RVL Reeves,
- 35:03Speaker 4: which I can't wait to see what the package looks
- 35:05Speaker 4: like with him. It's gonna have to be creative, but
- 35:08Speaker 4: he's a very good player. DJ Reider and Shelby Harris
- 35:11Speaker 4: to shore up the front, they did a lot of
- 35:12Speaker 4: heavy lifting in the all season with free agents and
- 35:14Speaker 4: through the draft, So I like that pick a lot.
- 35:17Speaker 4: Then I go to Cincinnati Bingles. I absolutely can see
- 35:20Speaker 4: them flipping it and going eleven and six with that offense.
- 35:23Speaker 4: They've made changes on defense as well. Easily can get
- 35:26Speaker 4: you there. And I think that division is there for
- 35:28Speaker 4: the taking three new head coaches. That's not a division
- 35:32Speaker 4: that's had new in a long time. Then you go
- 35:34Speaker 4: to the Kansas City Chiefs right now, very difficult division,
- 35:39Speaker 4: one of the best, I probably the second best division
- 35:41Speaker 4: in football.
- 35:43Speaker 2: But it is the Chiefs.
- 35:44Speaker 4: It is Patrick Mahomes, it is Andy Reid. If anybody
- 35:46Speaker 4: can do it, it's them. They could flip the script and
- 35:48Speaker 4: go eleven and six. We've seen them do it before. Yeah,
- 35:51Speaker 4: So Giants, Bengals, Chiefs.
- 35:56Speaker 6: Now.
- 35:56Speaker 4: I almost went to New Orleans. I almost went Washington.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Those were my two that I that I just left out.
- 36:03Speaker 4: But from my four team, I went with the New
- 36:06Speaker 4: York Jets. Okay, the New York Jets won three games
- 36:10Speaker 4: last year. The Miami Dolphins won seven in that same division.
- 36:13Speaker 4: The Miami Dolphins are not gonna win seven games this year.
- 36:16Speaker 4: They completely tore down.
- 36:17Speaker 6: To the studs.
- 36:18Speaker 8: If they start, will there you go?
- 36:21Speaker 4: Those wins have to go to someone camp all right.
- 36:24Speaker 4: I don't think the Patriots are going to be as
- 36:26Speaker 4: good as they were a year ago. Buffalo is going
- 36:28Speaker 4: to be right there. But if you objectively look at
- 36:30Speaker 4: what the Jets did in.
- 36:33Speaker 2: The draft, I loved.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Look they got Omar Cooper Junior from Indiana, who I love,
- 36:39Speaker 4: in the first round. They got Kenyon Sadik in the
- 36:41Speaker 4: first round. So you got two weapons. Now, the Geno
- 36:43Speaker 4: Smith part of it, I get that you give Breeze
- 36:46Speaker 4: Hall a new deal, but it's on the defense to
- 36:48Speaker 4: Mario Davis, David Anyamana, Tovandre Sweat who they traded for.
- 36:53Speaker 4: They drafted David Bailey, who we all liked in the
- 36:55Speaker 4: pre draft process. You drafted Angelo Pons, loved him in Indiana.
- 37:00Speaker 4: You trade for Mika Fitzpatrick, You've it's a completely new roster.
- 37:04Speaker 4: You were horrible a year ago. You did not have
- 37:08Speaker 4: an interception as a team. It can't go that bad again.
- 37:12Speaker 4: So I can see the Jets still. If they're eight
- 37:15Speaker 4: to nine, it's not great, but I can see them
- 37:17Speaker 4: being eight and nine.
- 37:18Speaker 3: You you could talk me into that one for sure.
- 37:20Speaker 3: Like I set up here the day after the draft
- 37:22Speaker 3: when I was hosting for Hunt, like, great, you got
- 37:24Speaker 3: all that talent and he got Geno Smith throwing them
- 37:26Speaker 3: the football.
- 37:27Speaker 6: Do you know what?
- 37:28Speaker 3: Geno's one of those guys that doesn't make the catastrophic mistakes,
- 37:32Speaker 3: at least not a ton like if he can go
- 37:33Speaker 3: in there and manage things. You got, Brisaul. You have
- 37:36Speaker 3: a ton of weapons. You still have Mason Taylor and
- 37:38Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson to pair with Omar Cooper and Kenyon Sadik.
- 37:41Speaker 3: You have so many weapons on that offense. There's a shot.
- 37:44Speaker 3: I don't I don't see the Dolphins winning seven games
- 37:47Speaker 3: this year. I'm with you, Jake out of the gate.
- 37:49Speaker 3: The Patriots schedule so difficult. I don't think they win
- 37:51Speaker 3: fourteen games. Those wins in that division got to come
- 37:54Speaker 3: from somewhere, Like I could, I can potentially see that happening.
- 37:57Speaker 5: I can hear the argument because there's not a lot
- 37:58Speaker 5: of teams on this list in the NFL that you
- 38:01Speaker 5: could argue this point for They're just so there's so
- 38:03Speaker 5: much dysfunction. I don't I don't believe in Aaron Glenn
- 38:08Speaker 5: at this moment in time, and certainly their front office.
- 38:12Speaker 5: I don't believe. I don't believe in their owner. So
- 38:14Speaker 5: how do they get to what they need to get to?
- 38:16Speaker 5: Eight nine? They gotta get to eight. It'd be a
- 38:20Speaker 5: great season for that. If they got to eight wins.
- 38:22Speaker 2: They're eight nine and they have an interception on.
- 38:24Speaker 6: Defense, Yeah, and they have one interception.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Let them win that first game on a pick six.
- 38:33Speaker 2: They went the entire year, So I know, I have
- 38:35Speaker 2: to go back to last year's stats.
- 38:37Speaker 5: The so my fourth so I had the Bengals, Chiefs, Giants,
- 38:39Speaker 5: I had the Commanders in there. But my bubble team
- 38:44Speaker 5: I'm gonna throw in there is probably one that you're
- 38:46Speaker 5: not gonna pick. You're gonna I'm picking them to have
- 38:48Speaker 5: a pretty good season. I'm gonna throw the Ravens in there.
- 38:51Speaker 5: They went eight to nine. Again, to the same point
- 38:54Speaker 5: as you made with the Bengals, They're in a very
- 38:56Speaker 5: weak division. There's for the take, and they got the
- 38:58Speaker 5: sick Vegas odds makers the six easiest schedule in the
- 39:02Speaker 5: NFL this year, two time MVP Lamar Jackson coming back.
- 39:07Speaker 5: I think they're there to prove a point this year
- 39:09Speaker 5: that last year was a mistake. They got a new
- 39:11Speaker 5: head coach, not to say the other one was bad, overrated, overrated,
- 39:18Speaker 5: Some are saying that still a great coach. But whatever,
- 39:22Speaker 5: I'm gonna pick them to they went eight nights, I'm
- 39:24Speaker 5: gonna pick them to go thirteen and four.
- 39:25Speaker 8: Okay.
- 39:26Speaker 5: I chose them in our exercise a week or two
- 39:28Speaker 5: ago on teams that will get to over twelve and
- 39:30Speaker 5: twelve or over. So I'm gonna stick with that and
- 39:32Speaker 5: say the Ravens will go from eight to eight and
- 39:34Speaker 5: nine to thirteen and four real quick.
- 39:36Speaker 3: For me. Giants was the easiest one of those is
- 39:39Speaker 3: for me, we really haven't seen Jackson darted elite neighbors
- 39:42Speaker 3: play together.
- 39:43Speaker 6: Now.
- 39:43Speaker 3: I know my league's battling through some stuff, but if
- 39:45Speaker 3: he's fully healthy. With Cam scattaboy back, that's one of
- 39:48Speaker 3: the best young trios on offense anywhere in the NFL.
- 39:51Speaker 3: I think They're gonna be a lot better on defense,
- 39:53Speaker 3: especially across the front. I think the Eagles are going
- 39:55Speaker 3: to take a step back. I don't think the Commanders
- 39:57Speaker 3: are gonna be good at all. The Cowboys are gonna
- 39:59Speaker 3: cowboy in the season. That's a winnable division.
- 40:03Speaker 6: That's gonna be good.
- 40:04Speaker 5: If Jayden gets back to what he was healthy, playing
- 40:07Speaker 5: like he did, they get there. They're at least gonna
- 40:09Speaker 5: be a threat every week.
- 40:11Speaker 3: Sure, Sure, I just great running back room. I worry
- 40:16Speaker 3: about the big boys up front. I worry about the
- 40:18Speaker 3: past catchers. Like Jayden's gonna do his thing.
- 40:20Speaker 6: But he had hit.
- 40:22Speaker 5: He's gonna have been special again, right, and he can
- 40:25Speaker 5: absolutely be special special.
- 40:27Speaker 3: And he's gonna have to be special against what I
- 40:29Speaker 3: think is gonna be three pretty good defenses in his division.
- 40:32Speaker 3: So it's it's gonna be tough for him.
- 40:34Speaker 6: In the greatest rookie season.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Absolutely, And it just for whatever reason didn't translate last year.
- 40:42Speaker 4: He went through he went to some injuries to elbow,
- 40:44Speaker 4: he went through some away that he should not go.
- 40:48Speaker 2: I'll say this, and it might be a homer take.
- 40:50Speaker 6: That's fine.
- 40:50Speaker 4: I've just seen that guy work in the shadows I
- 40:53Speaker 4: know he's not happy with how last year went. I
- 40:56Speaker 4: actually talked with Dan Quinn like not an on air conversation,
- 40:59Speaker 4: like a per conversation, because I said, Hey, how's my
- 41:01Speaker 4: guy doing? Yeah, and he said, man, you know how
- 41:03Speaker 4: he is. You know how he's built. He said, there
- 41:06Speaker 4: hasn't been a day where I've been like in the
- 41:09Speaker 4: building where he hasn't beaten me to the building. Yeah,
- 41:11Speaker 4: he said. In the off season, he said he every
- 41:13Speaker 4: time he called him and check on him. He was
- 41:15Speaker 4: working out in California during the off season as well,
- 41:18Speaker 4: So he said, I'm expecting him to be right back
- 41:20Speaker 4: where he was.
- 41:21Speaker 6: He's going to be most watch TV. Yeah, absolutely, I
- 41:24Speaker 6: just I agree with you.
- 41:25Speaker 8: I can't right.
- 41:29Speaker 2: They need to They need to go sign.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Like when you look at the receivers that are available
- 41:34Speaker 4: right now, I think there's some guys that can help out.
- 41:36Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels, Stefan Diggs is available. He might be a little,
- 41:40Speaker 4: he might be too much with Scary Terry there too.
- 41:43Speaker 4: He might not want that, But go get a Keenan Allen. Yeah,
- 41:46Speaker 4: a third Nate target.
- 41:47Speaker 3: You needs something. Zach Ertz has been banged up.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Yeah, he's hurt. I mean they'll get him a Keenan Allen.
- 41:52Speaker 3: You need something outside of Terry. I picked here in
- 41:56Speaker 3: our little in our little bold prediction and missed the playoffs.
- 41:59Speaker 3: And the reason was two years ago. They played a
- 42:01Speaker 3: lot of backup qbs like Jaden was great, but that defense,
- 42:05Speaker 3: the defense didn't hold up. Real quick. I'll go Bingals
- 42:08Speaker 3: Saints Chiefs is my last.
