EP 36: Who Are The Most Underutilized NFL Players?, Should Jonathan Taylor Be The MVP Favorite? & Which 8-2 AFC Team Is Most Likely To Finish As The No. 1 Seed? · 3 Guys, 6 Balls NFL Podcast

3 lifelong friends, 6 trusty balls and endless NFL ticks.
0:05
Welcome to Three guys 6 Balls NFL Podcast.
0:08
Welcome to episode 36 of Three Guys 6 Balls NFL Podcast.
0:11
Avery's rejoining us today. How was your Vegas trip, Avery?
0:17
It was great, great time. Good to see the boys in Vegas.
0:22
Good to see awesome NFL game and miss.
0:26
The one play we missed happened to be an NFL record, which was
0:29
awesome. I have heard from like four or
0:32
five different people now that the fact that you and I were
0:35
turning shoulder to shoulder taking a piss during that is
0:37
probably the funniest thing I heard all week, so.
0:40
We heard it. They were like, Oh yeah,
0:43
actually scoring. Oh, Dang.
0:47
But yeah, it was a it was a great time, great time.
0:50
I was there with some other friends.
0:51
Really good time. Do you want to disclose how much
0:55
money you spent or is that? I did.
0:58
I did not. Well, I gambled 20 bucks because
1:02
we were all sitting like watching someone else do slots.
1:05
And I was sitting in the seat and I remembered that I had a 20
1:08
in my wallet and I was like, well, since everyone else is
1:11
doing it, I'll just blow this. And I was trying to lose it.
1:13
I was like betting big money. I was trying to like flex like
1:16
with 20 bucks, like going for the higher bets.
1:18
And I kept making just enough to like get back up to 20.
1:23
And my whole thing was like just lose it.
1:25
Just like hurry up and lose it. But I want to, I want to bet
1:27
big. I want to bet big.
1:29
And I like kept getting back. I'd get like real close to like
1:32
$1.00 back up to like 2025 and do it again.
1:35
And everyone's like, man, if you just cashed out, I'm like, now
1:38
this is losing it all. But that wasn't where the money
1:41
went. The money went to Ubers and
1:43
food, some good food and some expensive Ubers.
1:46
So. Yeah, I had a really good time.
1:48
I just wanted to get some of your thoughts since you weren't
1:49
here last week. But yeah, it was a good trip
1:52
overall. So to get started with today's
1:55
episode, our first topic is actually Avery's idea.
1:59
So Avery is going to lead us. Actually, we have to do a will
2:03
recap. I am sorry.
2:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have to do your recap.
2:06
I totally forgot about that. Well, I wasn't able to forget.
2:09
I didn't spend 45 minutes writing this to let you skip
2:12
over it. Go ahead, Will.
2:16
I can't. I can't.
2:20
Go ahead, Avery. Go ahead, Joel.
2:25
I I. Use OneNote.
2:27
I use Microsoft OneNote for a reason.
2:31
That way I can write it on one computer and have it on all
2:33
computers. OK, we're good.
2:36
All right, hold on. Don't hit play yet.
2:38
Even though we're still recording.
2:39
We're not uncut yet. We haven't said action.
2:42
Apparently, I had to sign in on my computer.
2:45
Sign in to save I. I'm signed in.
2:48
OK, All right. We're good.
2:49
All right, we can wrap up man, this week kind of sucked.
2:53
We had started a Thursday Raiders Broncos Broncos be the
2:56
winning the worst possible way. This team maybe 8:00 and 2:00,
2:59
but it is fraudulent. It should be reported to every
3:01
credit card company. As such, seven wins in the row
3:04
is still hard to do an NFL. Congratulations to the Broncos.
3:07
Falcons hat Colts Johnson Taylor had 286 scrimmage yards and his
3:12
5th 3 touchdown game this year, which is half well over no half
3:17
of the games they've played he's scored three touchdowns in
3:20
including a game-winning touchdown overtime and the Colts
3:22
are still bucking at the top of the AFC.
3:24
How about that pun for you Jets and Browns?
3:27
Who cares? Just kidding.
3:29
Just get rid of all their good players and then still find a
3:31
way to win. Although now this is a made-up
3:35
stat, you can't take a pass away and then judge a player by it.
3:39
But if you take the one briefs Hall screen pass out of the
3:43
equation, Justin Fields only throws for 12 yards that game
3:46
and no touchdowns and it was a screen pass.
3:49
So who was who was really doing the work there and we had Saints
3:52
and Panthers. Saints are the number one pick
3:55
isn't worth anything this year decide to pick up a win against
3:57
Carolina. Hey, what the truck right struck
3:59
season. Here we go.
4:00
Pat's a bucks Pat's say how he is with left the Buccaneers with
4:04
no timetable for Bucky's return. Bucky's going to hang on for a
4:07
playoff spot. Seven wins in a row for the Pats
4:10
as well. Again, it's not an easy thing to
4:12
do in the NFL. Ravens at Vikings.
4:15
There is a reason I've been saying JU McCarthy is bad.
4:19
Just watch this game you'll see it.
4:20
Also, have you guys heard about his alter ego?
4:22
Have you guys heard about this yet?
4:26
So he has come out and said that on the field he's not JJ
4:29
McCarthy. He's 9 and he should be referred
4:33
to as such. Only he wants to be called 9.
4:36
He's on the field, in the locker room.
4:38
It's his alter ego. And let me tell you, it's dumb.
4:41
It doesn't work. Also the only nine we care
4:44
about, Matthew Stafford. 3 turnovers for the Vikings Lift.
4:48
The Ravens will win. Hold on, I'm trying to decide
4:51
what's worse, that nickname or Caleb Bowie is painting his
4:54
nails. It's the nickname.
4:56
It's. Probably.
5:00
The nickname the the. Painting.
5:01
Yeah, painting the nails thing. You can write it off as a Oh
5:04
well, my sister's cousin's nephew is a cancer survivor and
5:10
she paints my nails every week and like, you can write that off
5:12
or something. 9 Being a dog in this guy who you can't like, You
5:18
are unproven. Be somebody in the NFL before
5:22
you start to dub yourself a nickname.
5:24
I think it's his mom, I think. His mom paints his nails.
5:27
That's that doesn't I think it's his mom that does nails but
5:31
still. I think that's convenient.
5:33
That's very convenient for him though.
5:35
Yeah. All right.
5:36
Well. I mean, it's still. 3 turnovers
5:41
for the Vikings lost the Ravens to a win.
5:43
This Ravens team is 1 and five at one point and they are on the
5:46
road to win the AFC North. Buffalo at Miami.
5:49
Buffalo catches the Miami flu and gave one away down in South
5:52
Florida. Then it's been too busy
5:54
celebrating the win over Chiefs and forgot that Miami still has
5:57
some good players. They still have good players and
6:01
that coach apparently wants to coach again.
6:04
Bears and Giants two. Bears win again to another team
6:08
with a sub 500 record but a wins win and it did get take up to
6:12
the Giants fired. Sorry Brian, Brian Dabo, but you
6:15
are out now. I would like to go on a record
6:18
that Bears are six and three. I'd like to go on a record
6:20
saying the Bears will not make the playoffs this week or this
6:22
year. Six and three through 10 weeks
6:25
will not make the playoffs. I do want to say one thing, yes.
6:28
I just find it funny that after the Packers lost that there's a
6:33
bunch of Bears fans that are going out there saying, oh, the
6:36
Bears are in first place in the NFC North.
6:38
They're not. They're in second place.
6:42
The Lions are currently leading the NFC North because they beat
6:46
the Bears. The Bears are not in first place
6:48
now. Shout out Brennan from She says
6:50
in the Bear podcast. He is a reasonable Bears fan.
6:54
He told a bear it was Bear Den Live.
6:58
Who is one of the guys out there saying the Bears are in first?
7:01
Brennan says. Dude, we're not in first because
7:05
they're not so Bears fans. You're not in first place yet,
7:09
OK? You're still in second place.
7:11
You're six and three. You're six and three, which is a
7:14
good record. I'm not taking anything away
7:16
from you, but you are not in first.
7:17
You are in second place. I will take it away from you.
7:20
Actually, I will be the guy. I will stand on this hill.
7:23
You are 6 and three and your two games that you have for your
7:26
three games you have played against people, teams with over
7:30
500 win, 500 win records. Half their games they've won.
7:35
You lost out three of them and it wasn't close for most of her.
7:38
Two of them. And you got destroyed by the
7:41
lines like 51 to 13. OK, Let's not act like you're
7:44
good. You are better than the bad and
7:47
you are worse than the good. You are the Jason Carrick Dallas
7:51
Cowboys welcome in. Welcome to your new place.
7:54
Congratulations 88 and one for the rest of your eternity.
7:58
Congratulations. You made it anyway.
8:02
Jag is a Texans Davis Mills leads the Texans to a 26 point
8:06
fourth quarter. Did a comeback win over the Jags
8:09
with JJ Watt on the Cole. I bet you 3rd in goal with 37
8:16
seconds left on the clock. Texans down by 5, Davis Mills
8:20
scrambles for 14 yards to get the touchdown.
8:23
Then on the next possession, down by one.
8:26
They went for two. Didn't get it.
8:27
Next position down by 1. Trevor Lawrence gets throws an
8:32
interception. It's a 6/6 as a defensive tackle
8:35
runs back 30 yards for AA66 to steal the game.
8:39
Big win for the Texans. That was the last exciting thing
8:42
that happened this the rest of the week in football.
8:44
We had Arizona, Seattle. Seattle took on Arizona in a
8:48
boat race. 2 defensive touchdowns put Arizona away
8:50
early. The Seahawks team can apparently
8:53
win at home in opposed or in opposition to what people say on
8:56
the Internet. They are still good at home and
8:58
I'm still more worried about them at home in the playoffs
9:00
than I am away. I'm going to stand by that one
9:04
anyway. Detroit at Washington, President
9:06
Donald J Trump in the building, slash the boots, Commanders get
9:09
destroyed. Bill Lyons.
9:11
Dan Campbell shows that it was in fact a play caller's fault
9:13
that they were so bad. Rams at 49ers.
9:16
This game looked close for a minute, but it never was.
9:19
Stafford continues to put on at clinic.
9:21
Went for 20 touchdowns and 0 picks in the last six games.
9:24
Steelers and Chargers. Chargers win a snooze fest and
9:26
Sunday Night Football. She ended up staying for that
9:28
whole game. Who cares?
9:30
That game started with the safety.
9:31
Aaron Rodgers tried to run away from a defensive end, it didn't
9:33
work. He fumbled, fell on the ball
9:35
with the other safety. The game was over at that point
9:38
and Eagles and Packers played this week, but no one really
9:41
cared. Only ones that benefited were
9:43
Devonta Smith and Draft Jacobs fantasy owners.
9:45
Besides that it was so boring. It was bad TV, and it wasn't
9:48
necessarily a bad thing that YouTube TV doesn't have ESPN
9:52
right now, because you didn't miss anything good anyway.
9:58
I will say I was very excited when Josh Jacobs scored that
10:02
touchdown because we won our fantasy game.
10:04
Yeah, we were down like 19 points at the end of that week.
10:06
Weren't. We we were we were down 2 or.
10:09
Something like that. He got 19.8.
10:12
He actually so because he got that touchdown, we were up by so
10:16
we won by .68 points but we were up.
10:20
We were up by more, but then he fumble, he fumble at the end of
10:24
that game and so we won by .68 points.
10:28
So luckily that fumble did it cost us.
10:32
We won, we won. It's our first time.
10:34
It's our first time in that league this season.
10:36
We won multiple games in a row. The first time all season.
10:41
I was just praying the whole time, like please, just Josh,
10:44
you could just score a touchdown.
10:45
Just score a touchdown, please. So I was yeah, I was excited for
10:51
about that game just because of that.
10:52
So, all right. Well, thanks, Will.
10:56
Now Avery is officially your turn.
10:58
And just remember, yeah, officially.
11:01
Just remember, I may or may not be here next week.
11:04
So you are auditioning to be host.
11:08
Well, I'll tell you what, the competition is real bad.
11:12
I've got a, I've got my other cousin Gavin, who I want to
11:18
bring on. The thing is, he actually knows
11:20
more. Like whenever I ask him any NFL
11:23
question, he's he's given me stats, he's given me like
11:26
contacts and everything. Dude's a huge Seahawks fan, so I
11:30
feel like he's going to be emboldened and very excited.
11:33
I think. I think you guys are going to
11:35
like him. Will will like him.
11:37
Joel will like him from afar when he watches the episode
11:40
after the fact. I'm going to try to be here.
11:42
I just don't know. My wife's having foot surgery
11:44
next week. I don't know if I'm going to be
11:46
here or not. She's got 2 feet.
11:49
Yeah, he's heard me run one of them.
11:51
Yeah, that's what I told her. Privileged.
11:55
I'm a white woman in America. I don't have to work.
12:00
Yeah, she's anyways. I don't care.
12:02
I need both of my feet. Anyways, this first topic was
12:07
Avery's idea, so Avery's going to lead.
12:09
So Go, all right, I don't remember what it was.
12:12
That's a joke. All right, I'm going to ask you
12:15
guys, who in the NFL do you think is the most underutilized
12:22
player now for anyone at home? That means anyone who's in a
12:26
maybe in a inopportune spot in the depth chart, they've got a
12:32
different, you know, maybe not a great coaching staff or scheme
12:38
or the way they're being used or whatever it is, who is a player
12:43
that would benefit from being moved to a different team.
12:47
And now if you've, if you've got the name of the team or you have
12:50
an idea, that'd be great too. Or you could just point out why
12:53
you think that player is being underutilized and could be
12:56
utilized somewhere else more effectively.
12:58
I'm going to start with Will. Oh, I'm going to pass.
13:02
Joel can start. I'm going to go with Joel.
13:08
All right, so the player that I think is most underutilized is
13:12
Falcons running back Tyler Algier.
13:15
Yeah, he is. I, I think a lot of people
13:19
forget this. When he was drafted in 2022 in
13:22
the fifth round, he ran for over 1000 yards and he averaged 4.9
13:27
yards a carry. That's really good.
13:31
That's really good. And then the very next year, the
13:34
Falcons draft Bijan Robinson the very next year after he ran for
13:38
1000 yards as a rookie. I don't understand why.
13:42
Now part of me understands why they drafted Bijan because he
13:45
is. Part of me understands it
13:47
because he's he's one of the best running backs in the
13:50
league. And so you're getting one of the
13:52
best running backs in the league when you draft him.
13:54
But and you know, these teams like the Lions, they're trying
13:57
to build back fields where they feature multiple guys.
14:00
But the part I don't understand is with Robinson and Algier,
14:04
it's more like a 7030 split versus with Montgomery and
14:08
Gibbs, it's more like a 5050 split.
14:10
It's not exactly 5050, but it's pretty close to 5050 between
14:13
those two. With Algier and Robinson, it's
14:15
not Robinson's more like 70, Algiers like 30.
14:20
They do utilize Algier sometimes.
14:23
Like in this last game he had 11 carries to Robinson 17 and he
14:28
ran for 57 yards and two touchdowns on 5.2 yards per
14:32
carry, which is pretty good for a backup running back.
14:34
But they also have other games where they don't utilize him at
14:38
all. He has four games this year
14:40
where he has less than 5 carries now as a rookie, Algier had 10
14:45
plus carries in 13 of his 17 games played.
14:48
And then since Robinson was drafted the year after, he's had
14:54
less than 10 carries in 25 of 43 games played, which is 58% of
14:59
his games. How do they expect this guy to
15:02
get any sort of rhythm going when they give him less than 10
15:05
carries 60% of the time? I don't understand what the
15:09
Falcons are doing with Tyler Algier.
15:10
They're not utilizing him in the way that they should.
15:13
And I don't want to say anything bad about Bijan Robinson because
15:17
he's great. He's one of the best running
15:18
backs in the league. But what has he done to help the
15:21
Falcons win? Nothing.
15:25
He's done nothing to help the Falcons win.
15:27
They haven't done anything since he's been there.
15:29
So in my opinion, if I was the Falcons in 2023, going into that
15:33
draft, I would not have drafted Robinson because you just had a
15:37
rookie who you drafted in the fifth round who ran for over
15:41
1000 yards and again, 4.9 yards per carry, which is fantastic.
15:46
Some of the players drafted after Robinson in that draft,
15:49
Jaylen Carter was the very next pick, one of the best defensive
15:52
tackles in the league, Christian Gonzalez, one of the best
15:54
corners in the league, Jackson Smith and Jigba later in that
15:58
first round, one of the best wide receivers in the league.
16:01
They could have had one of those guys.
16:02
There's there's a couple other guys too, but they could have
16:05
had one of those guys to make their team better and left Tyler
16:08
Algier as the starting running back and they would have been
16:10
probably better off than drafting Dijon Robinson and
16:14
leaving Tyler Algier as the backup that they sometimes use
16:18
and just sometimes decide that they just don't want to.
16:21
I don't understand what the Falcons are doing with him.
16:24
I feel like if you went to any other team and he was the
16:27
starter, he's not going to be one of the best running backs in
16:29
the league, but he would be a very solid running back who can
16:33
get the job done. And for reference, Tyler
16:38
Algiers, the BYU walk on, I was working at Walmart before
16:43
joining the team. He's also, most people probably
16:47
won't remember this, but there was a highlight several years
16:49
ago of BYU losing the ball, fumbling it and that defender
16:54
running it all the way back almost to the end zone.
16:57
But you see Algier running, chasing after him and just
17:02
punches that ball out and BYU gets it back.
17:05
Some like I just Metcalf stuff, right?
17:07
Oh, Oh, yeah, yeah. And and that's the thing.
17:10
It's one the hustle, but also just that.
17:12
I mean, it was a smooth motion like he had.
17:14
He knew exactly how he was going to do it.
17:16
When I saw that, I was like, Kate, this guy, this guy's a
17:19
baller. This guy's going to go after it.
17:21
And that's what I like to see. But all right, Will what do you
17:24
got? Hold on.
17:25
I'd like to not move on yet. I am ready.
17:28
This is not me stalling. I am ready.
17:29
I'm just so Joe Tyler Algier. I looked it up here real quick.
17:34
Tyler Algier is in the fourth year of his contract and after
17:37
this year he was an unrestricted free agent, so he is able to go
17:41
wherever he wants. Who do you think should go after
17:45
him and where do you think he goes?
17:48
I don't think he stays in Atlanta, let me put it that way.
17:50
I don't think he does either. I'm just looking at something
17:54
real quick. OK, so Buck's backup running
17:59
back, currently starter Rashad White, is in the last year of
18:03
his contract. I would love to see him get
18:06
shipped out 'cause he sucks and get Algier in because the
18:10
Buccaneers use multiple. The Buccaneers use multiple
18:14
running backs. They do.
18:15
They did it last year, They're doing it this year.
18:18
Even with Bucky Irving out when he was in, they were still using
18:21
multiple running backs. But if you had Bucky Irving and
18:23
Tyler Algier, the Buccaneers would actually use them.
18:26
They would find a way to actually use it and he would be
18:29
good. That offense would be
18:30
significantly better if they had Tyler Alger back there versus
18:34
Rashad White right now, because Rashad White sucks.
18:38
He sucks. He's averaging like 3 yards a
18:40
carry and it's doing nothing for the Buccaneers offense.
18:43
Their third string running back is getting more carries than he
18:46
is because he sucks. Yeah, Sean Taylor or something
18:50
like. That Sean Tucker, Yeah.
18:52
Yeah. I would love to see White get
18:54
shipped out or just just not come back and just bring in
18:57
Algier. He would be fantastic with the
18:59
Buccaneers. I like that I'm a little bit
19:03
different route. I'm picking a a current starter
19:06
in the NFL who I just want to see in a different team because
19:08
he's good. I'm picking Jet star Roger
19:11
Seaver, currently her Garrett Wilson.
19:14
Garrett Wilson has in his three years has had 83 or more
19:19
receiving receptions and over 1000 yards all three years.
19:24
He had 1100 yards his rookie year, 11 O3, 11103 yards his
19:30
rookie year, just over 1000 yards his second year.
19:33
And last year he had 11 or 11104.
19:35
So pretty consistent over 1000 yards.
19:38
And the touchdowns haven't been there as you might want as your
19:41
as your starter. But I mean, you look at your
19:43
your quarterback scenario here. And so I think last year was
19:46
when Aaron was there, right? That was Aaron's full season
19:48
there. Yes, in New York, Yeah.
19:51
So, so with Aaron Rodgers, a competent quarterback, he had
19:54
154 targets with 101 receptions for 1100 yards, 7 touchdowns.
20:00
And that's on The Jets. And The Jets are not good.
20:03
Even with Aaron Rodgers, The Jets were not good this year.
20:06
And I understand he's been hurt in the games he's been in.
20:09
He has only gotten 10 targets twice this year.
20:13
Which is not great. One game is against Dallas, the
20:16
other game is against Tampa Bay and he's only had well more than
20:20
5 receptions half of the games. He is just being completely
20:24
underutilized. As I mentioned in my wrap up had
20:27
your had No, he was out this week.
20:31
He did not play or he got he got hurt.
20:33
Excuse me? No, he was out got hurt 3
20:37
targets. I can do math, I can read.
20:40
He got hurt in this game and so that didn't help his cause.
20:43
But as I mentioned earlier, if Justin Fields doesn't throw that
20:48
screen pass Debris Hall, he has 12 total passing out of this
20:51
game. This is not a team for a star
20:54
wide receiver to be on. I was actually a bit shocked
20:56
that they did not ship him out at the trade deadline.
20:59
But you can't, I mean, you can't trade all of your bad players.
21:03
So he he's good and I would like to see him be good again.
21:08
So I think he is incredibly underutilized as a as a number
21:12
one wide receiver in the NFL. If The Jets just had a
21:16
quarterback, it would make all the difference.
21:19
That's, I don't even know if it's a quarterback.
21:21
I feel like there's something else going on over there.
21:24
They had Aaron Rodgers. It's got to be, I don't know if
21:27
it's an organizational thing or what, but it just feels like
21:30
anything that goes to The Jets just Withers and dies.
21:34
I mean, Aaron Rodgers doesn't look really look that good this
21:36
year either. It's just it's just an old Aaron
21:40
Rodgers. You got Aaron, an old Aaron
21:42
Rodgers. You got Justin Fields.
21:44
You have, what's his name, Zach Wilson.
21:48
Zach Wilson. Yeah.
21:49
Like that's not going to help your receivers at all.
21:53
Yeah, I he's a, he's still under his rookie deal for this year
21:57
and next and then in 2027 his contract go jumps up to
22:01
13,000,013 and a half million and then 2626 and then 31.
22:06
He's he's through 20-30 at New York.
22:10
And for a receiver who's not putting up the numbers that
22:14
you'd like, that's almost untradable.
22:16
But all this NFL money is fake anyway, so it doesn't really
22:19
matter. Same thing with baseball and
22:21
basketball. All this money is fake.
22:22
Teller caps are a joke. But yeah, I just, I, I just
22:27
think he's going to be underutilized forever.
22:29
And then The Jets are currently just in a pattern of never going
22:32
to get out of it right there. Their last best hope was Mark
22:37
Sanchez. That's that's kind of where
22:40
we're at. He was their best hope.
22:42
Yeah. And well, he's done some
22:44
questionable stuff since then, most recently.
22:46
But yeah, I just, I don't know. I like your Wilson.
22:50
I like the skill he has. I thought it was really cool
22:54
they had your Wilson and Sauce Gardner that going up against
22:57
each other in practice, I'm sure made them both incredibly good.
23:01
Like you go up against a top tier caliber guy, practice every
23:04
single day, you're going to get better.
23:07
And then now that you don't have that, your Wilson's been hurt.
23:10
Sauce Garner is now a cult. And so you're just destined to
23:13
just, but hey, you know what? They have a lot of picks.
23:16
They have so many draft picks. You can just find your Wilson's
23:19
and sauce garters everywhere. Maybe the plan is to bring in
23:24
what's the news from Ohio State that roasts everybody.
23:28
Oh, Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Smith.
23:30
I had that same. I had that same thought like The
23:34
Jets probably just secured the best receiver, the best player
23:38
in that draft with all those picks.
23:40
He is by far the best player. Yes, that dude's an absolute
23:44
stunt. He should be in the NFL right
23:45
now, honestly. All right, so I got an honorable
23:49
mention and that's Alvin Kamara just 'cause I feel like he's in
23:52
prison and he's just just, he's just withering away over there.
23:58
I, my main guy is Kyler Murray. I feel like, I feel like he's
24:04
still got a lot left to give. And I think Arizona, just
24:07
whether it's just the weapons or what, I don't feel like I'm just
24:12
not. I'm not as big of a fan of
24:14
Marvin Harrison Junior as I used to be.
24:17
And it might because he's on my fantasy team this year.
24:19
He's just letting me down. But I understand what the
24:22
situation is over there. So like I get it, but I almost
24:27
kind of feel like, and I talked with Gavin, my cousin, and he
24:30
kind of agrees. We will think that he'd do a lot
24:33
better in Miami. I think with basically replacing
24:38
Tua with him, I'll bet Kyler could find some new life.
24:42
In fact, I wouldn't even say that Tua would do better in
24:46
Arizona, but I almost just feel like why don't you just swap
24:48
them? I feel like both fan bases are
24:50
getting a little tired mainly just cause of the losing.
24:54
But I'm like, if you just did just just QB for QB swap, I feel
24:58
like with HN and you got Tyreek coming back soon, I just feel
25:04
like, 'cause I mean, The thing is, Kyler's still got his
25:06
mobility, just the aux. Coming back soon.
25:09
In two years, maybe. Maybe three, yeah.
25:15
Can you look that up? Will do a little.
25:17
I'm pulling it up. I.
25:18
Know, I know he's going to be out for at least a full year at
25:21
least. That dude's knee was sideways.
25:25
But even without knee surgery. Just put it back in man.
25:28
Season in the knee surgery. Oh, he's not going like this.
25:31
Yeah. Even without Tyra Kill though
25:33
Kyler Murray and Devon Agent, I feel like that would be pretty
25:36
scary to opposing defenses just based off of the rushing ability
25:40
alone. Yeah.
25:41
Right. And they kept draining waggle.
25:43
You know who would be good for that offense?
25:45
As if Chip Kelly went down here to Miami.
25:48
He loves with, with, with. Some Oregon.
25:51
Offense Devon Yeah, some more. Some speed, Some speed option in
25:55
the NFL. Oh, in Miami in that heat you
25:58
get down there in November and the humidity and nobody is ready
26:01
for it anymore. All right, sorry, we're just wet
26:03
dreaming out here. But yeah, no, that's that's
26:07
basically, I just feel like sometimes and and and this
26:10
opinion is kind of influenced a little bit by some of these QBs
26:13
that have left to different teams and like legitimately
26:16
found new life. I mean, Daniel Jones is the
26:19
clear example. But like, just seeing like, OK,
26:22
you guys are all professional athletes.
26:24
It's not like you're just bad. I mean, it's the same thing with
26:26
the Browns. It's like, dude, get this man
26:28
out of Cleveland. Like what else could he do if he
26:30
wasn't here? What else could he do if he
26:32
wasn't on The Jets or the OR the Bears up until, you know, maybe
26:34
recently even still now. But I just feel like I, I feel
26:38
like sometimes getting that fresh start for a quarterback
26:42
more than anything else, more than any other position, I feel
26:44
like a nice change of scenery without bad publicity around it.
26:50
Meaning you, you weren't, there wasn't some like, you know,
26:54
dramatic trade or some bad falling out, but simply
26:58
something that you could blame the ownership for, but not the
27:00
player. Cuz I feel like you, it just
27:02
makes them get in their head. You already got fans booing them
27:06
from the, for you know, from the get go.
27:07
I just feel like, you know, that that does affect quarterbacks.
27:11
And I feel like, you know, you want them to get in that rhythm,
27:13
you want to get in that flow state.
27:14
And I just feel like, yeah, I think Kyler Murray will be
27:19
really fun to watch. Yeah, that would be.
27:21
Yeah, that would be cool. I feel like that would actually
27:23
be the probably the best place that he could probably go.
27:26
So. All right.
27:28
Well, good job, Avery. That was a good audition for.
27:30
You. Thank you.
27:32
Definitely better than I did. Thanks guys.
27:36
At least he didn't leave all. Right, Avery, you're up.
27:46
All right, so the next thing we're going to talk about is
27:50
Jonathan Taylor. Should Jonathan Taylor be
27:53
leading the MVP race right now? Yeah, I think he should be.
27:58
That settles it. All right, that's it.
28:00
Done. That's all you got to.
28:02
Say, I mean, if we're talking about, I mean, I mean, I, I
28:05
would, I don't think I'd put, I mean, the fact that you've got
28:08
Daniel Jones as the top passer and Jonathan Taylor as the top
28:13
rusher is this is Carly's doing. Like she knows ball.
28:19
She's put together the best team.
28:21
I love how she's been around for years doing this.
28:24
It's just this year that we've kept tabs on it and the Internet
28:26
is like, Carly is the GOAT and the coaching staff.
28:29
It's just like what? Like she's taking notes.
28:33
We're the ones running this team and like, Nah, dude, Carly,
28:36
dude, Carly's doing it. It's because of Carly.
28:39
It's because Jim Mercer passed away and and Carly or say Gordon
28:45
Sin and oh, there's three or say daughters.
28:52
Jim had three daughters and all three the.
28:54
Other two. The other two are irrelevant.
28:57
They are not. They just.
28:59
They don't take notes on the sideline.
29:01
They don't care about, they don't have, we don't care about
29:04
same eyebrows. They have the same eyebrows.
29:06
Taking notes on the sideline. You can't.
29:08
I can't not right? I have to do it.
29:10
They might, we just don't know. We don't know what they look
29:12
like. That I mean they're in the
29:14
building every day anyway so so yeah she you at delivery she's
29:20
been doing it for years it's just now she's.
29:23
And it started off. It started off negative.
29:26
I mean, I remember when, because I first saw it when like the I
29:29
can't remember if it was preseason or just the first game
29:31
where she was out there. And I remember all the comments
29:34
being like, what is this? Like this is some Jerry Jones
29:38
shit, Like why are you out here? And then they're winning.
29:42
And now everyone's like, dude, Carly's got that secret sauce.
29:46
Now she does. She has Sauce Gardener, which
29:48
just to me sounds like a ranch brand, you know?
29:51
Sauce Gardener. Anyway.
29:57
Anyway, will, what do you think? So right now, Jonathan Taylor
30:02
sits at 3rd and MVP odds per ESPN bets at plus 600.
30:09
Drake May is first, followed by Matthew Stafford and Patrick
30:13
Mahomes and Jonathan Taylor are tied for third.
30:15
I mean, I mentioned in the wrap up that this is this week was
30:19
his third week or his fifth week this year with three touchdowns,
30:24
his fifth hat trick of the year. Now that is combined rushing and
30:28
passer receiving, but still he's got 11139 rushing yards, 15
30:34
touchdowns through 10 games rushing and you add another two
30:39
touchdowns receiving and another 250 yards.
30:41
He is that team, right? Like Avery said, you've got
30:44
Daniel Jones, you have no big name receivers, you've got a
30:48
defense that's just putting it together.
30:50
But you've got Jonathan Taylor and you've got he is the guy,
30:54
he's going to win offensive player of the year and they're
30:57
just going to give regulations and MVP.
31:00
To. To a quarterback, because that's
31:02
just what they do well. He's the guy touching the ball
31:05
every play. But I'm pretty sure Daniel Jones
31:07
would be fine if Jonathan Taylor was touching the ball every
31:11
play. You know what?
31:12
We're going to flee, flicker every play.
31:14
I'm a hand to you, you're going to toss it back to me.
31:16
We're going to some backyard football bull garbage.
31:19
That was for you, Dwayne. And just make sure that.
31:23
He comments on all this all the time.
31:25
He's like, did they say sorry, Dwayne?
31:27
I'm like, yeah, I'm sure you figured out why.
31:32
You just don't want to mention it.
31:33
But yeah, we were all oh, no, that's what it was.
31:37
Was it something, I think it was on a short well, like you made
31:40
the short, but like you didn't put that part in or maybe you
31:42
took that out. I can't remember what the deal
31:44
was. It was something about that.
31:46
I'm sure he appreciates it though.
31:47
No, I, I do, I am in the camp of Jonathan Taylor.
31:51
Should be #1 currently, I think if he continues to have the
31:54
season he has. So we've got eight more games
31:57
after the season, he's on track for 20 something 2528
32:02
touchdowns, something like that, right?
32:04
That's how math works. 29. 29 pardon me, didn't mean to total,
32:09
total, total sure. 29 total touchdowns as a non quarterback
32:15
where you are, you're not throwing the ball to different
32:19
people. You don't have other options.
32:21
You are the one doing the work. This is what everybody wanted
32:24
Chris McCaffrey to be and it's John Taylor.
32:27
And so I, I don't know, I, I, I think it is deserving of MVP, at
32:31
least the way he's trending. I agree.
32:33
I think Jonathan Taylor's been in the MVP conversation for a
32:37
lot of this season based off of how he's played this year.
32:40
But I feel like in that conversation, it always ends
32:43
with, well, he's a running back so he's not going to win it, but
32:46
it's time to give the people what they want.
32:48
The people want a non quarterback MVP for the first
32:52
time since 2012. It's time to give the people
32:55
what they want by giving the MVP to Jonathan Taylor.
32:59
Or Baker Mayfield, I'd be OK with that quarterback.
33:02
Well, he's kind of, he's kind of worked himself out of it,
33:06
unfortunately. That's The thing is this is such
33:08
a, this is such a up and down league and if you're not in it
33:12
right, it's a what have you done for me lately?
33:14
And the lately is last week. Jonathan Taylor has 0 touchdowns
33:18
next week. Might as well ride him out of
33:20
the history, but it's never going to happen.
33:22
But then he'll have 3 touchdowns a week after so it'll be fine.
33:25
Honestly that's kind of his trend though I do believe I
33:28
heard a Schefter stat that was since Adrian Peterson won MVP.
33:34
He was the last non quarterback to win MVP.
33:37
There have been. So do you know how the MVP
33:39
voting works? Poorly.
33:40
Vote. So, so there's a bunch of people
33:44
who vote and it's, it's your first place vote, your second
33:46
place vote in your third place vote.
33:49
And I don't know how many they do, but your first place vote,
33:51
what you say is worth five points.
33:53
Yeah, your second place is worth 3 and your third place is worth
33:55
one, right. So you, you get points based off
33:58
it just the way the highest thing where the highest one
33:59
works. Since I think it's since 2016,
34:02
there have been, I, I don't know how many first place votes cast,
34:07
but only one of them were to a non quarterback.
34:11
Here's a trivia question for you.
34:13
Who was the player, the non quarterback who received the one
34:17
vote first place MVP vote since 2016?
34:21
Saquon Barkley. No and no.
34:25
Oh really? This was 2021 when this
34:28
happened. 2021 I wasn't a podcaster then.
34:32
I don't know. I I don't know.
34:35
Was it maybe? 2022.
34:38
Was it Jonathan Taylor? It was not.
34:41
That would have been convenient if it was.
34:44
Who was it? Josh Jacobs?
34:46
Derek. Nope, Dirk, it was, yeah, yeah,
34:49
20/21. It was Cooper Cup the year he
34:51
won Triple Crown. Oh, really?
34:54
It was a quadruple crown because he also got yards after the
34:57
catch or something like that. Receptions.
34:58
There's another record in there that he got or not, right?
35:01
He was. There was another stat he was #1
35:03
in, but yeah, that was he got one vote that year that he won
35:08
the Triple Crown for first place at MVP.
35:10
If they're not going to give it to him for that, they're just
35:12
not going to give it to a non quarterback anymore.
35:14
It's just not going to happen. Who do they get it to is that?
35:18
Brady No, probably in my homes here.
35:23
Yeah, we've been in that Stafford, actually.
35:27
No, it wasn't Stafford. That's Nikola Yokich.
35:30
I want NFL why we oh, Aaron Rodgers.
35:35
Oh, right, Aaron went both. Aaron Rodgers went both COVID
35:38
years. And you know, I knew that.
35:39
But here's the difference between Jonathan Taylor and all
35:43
these other running backs who you could take Saquon Barkley
35:46
from last year. Saquon Barkley had a historic
35:48
season last season. It was a historic season for a
35:51
running back, but he was third in MVP voting.
35:54
But here's the biggest difference.
35:56
Jonathan Taylor is on track to get.
35:58
He's on track to get more yards than Saquon Barkley, but it's
36:01
it's within 100 yards of each other.
36:02
So it's basically the same total yardage.
36:04
But the difference is last year in 16 games played, Saquon
36:08
Barkley had 15 total touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor has more total
36:13
touchdowns in 10 games than Saquon Barkley had all of last
36:17
season. He has more.
36:19
He's on pace to get 14 more total touchdowns than Saquon
36:23
Barkley had all of last year. 14 more touchdowns.
36:27
That's incredible. Jonathan Taylor is on pace with
36:30
what Ladainian Tomlinson did in 2006 when he had 2323 total
36:36
yards and 31 total touchdowns. He's on track to get a little
36:39
bit less touchdowns, but that is insane.
36:41
If Jonathan Taylor is on pace and he finishes even somewhat in
36:46
the realm of Ladainian Tomlinson's 2006 season, he's
36:49
MVP, no question. No question, It should not go to
36:53
a quarterback. I don't care if Matthew Stafford
36:55
throws for 50 touchdown passes. I don't care what Drake Mays
36:58
doing. If Jonathan Taylor gets in the
37:01
realm of Ladainian Tomlinson's historic 2006 season, he is the
37:06
MVP, no question. He should not be offensive
37:10
player of the year. He should not be offensive
37:12
player of the year. Give Offensive Player of the
37:13
year to the best quarterback and give MVP to Jonathan Taylor
37:16
because he deserves it. If he can do that, he deserves
37:19
it 100%. Dude, I'm looking at these stats
37:22
right now. With the exception of Larry
37:24
Johnson from Kansas City in 2006, Ladainian Tomlinson had
37:29
twice as much touchdowns as the next best running back.
37:33
Yeah, yeah. That's.
37:35
In 28 touchdowns, that's like slightly above average
37:42
quarterback numbers. Caleb Williams wishes he could
37:47
throw. That many.
37:50
And that's what Jonathan Taylor is on pace to do right now.
37:53
He's on pace to have 29 touchdowns.
37:55
Lt. had 31. He's right there with what
37:59
Ladainian Tomlinson was doing in 2006.
38:02
Yeah, until next week and then we'll be like, oh, off.
38:07
Track. That guy sucks.
38:09
I can't do even a starter. Yeah.
38:14
That's the way it goes. Why is this guy playing?
38:18
He only had 150 yards and one touchdown.
38:21
Get him out of here. They're playing the Chiefs.
38:25
Yeah, that should be a good game.
38:27
That will be a good game. All right, but since we're
38:29
talking about the Colts, let's move on to our last topic of
38:31
this episode. So there are three teams in the
38:34
AFC who are currently 8 and two. They're all tied for the one
38:38
seed right now. The Colts, the Broncos and the
38:41
Patriots, they're all eight and two.
38:42
So the Colts are the one, the Broncos are the two, and the
38:45
Patriots are the three currently, but they all have the
38:48
same record. So which of those three, eight
38:51
and two teams in the AFC do you guys think has the best chance
38:55
to finish as the number one seed?
38:57
I think the Patriots have the easiest route.
39:00
That was my understanding after looking at their schedules.
39:05
That being said, I'm still I'm still kind of on this camp of
39:09
like like I, I don't like saying it out loud, but I still feel
39:12
like the Colts are just like one game away from being exposed.
39:16
Like like they it just doesn't feel real that they're that
39:21
good. And it kind of feels like Joel,
39:24
I don't know if you remember this, this is like our
39:26
sophomore, maybe junior year in high school and might have
39:29
sophomore, but the Titans were like undefeated.
39:32
They were like 1011 and O and I remember like we were talking
39:38
about them and like, Oh yeah, they're not considered like the
39:40
best team. And I'm like, dude, they have
39:42
not lost. This might have been like 2009
39:44
or something. And then they like lost a couple
39:48
games and then they just got just flushed out of the out of
39:51
the playoffs. And I was like, oh, like this
39:53
whole time I just thought these these guys were good.
39:56
No one was giving them respect. And then it just didn't go
39:59
anywhere anyways. And that's kind of how I feel
40:02
about the Colts. I'm trying to disabuse myself of
40:05
that notion that like, they're not really here just because
40:09
Daniel Jones. I mean, he's got one extra
40:11
gameplay, but technically as of right now, he does have the most
40:14
passing yards. And then with Jonathan Taylor as
40:16
well. And then also Warren.
40:19
Dude's a monster out there. It's, I feel like you'd feel so
40:25
bad if you were. Wait, Warren went before
40:27
Loveland? Or did Loveland go first?
40:29
No, Loveland was first because you spoke it into existence,
40:32
dude. What did I say?
40:36
You said Loveland was going to get drafted before Warren, both
40:39
within the first. I think you said 16 picks.
40:43
Oh, that was a yeah, that was a really specific guess.
40:47
Yeah, because Warren was projected higher and you're
40:49
like, no, lovin's going to go first.
40:52
I just didn't. I think I just didn't want
40:53
Warren to go because Oregon played him and he looks scary
40:57
good. And then I thought by him going
40:59
to the Colts, maybe like, OK, we're not going to hear about
41:01
him for a while. Not true.
41:07
OK, well, Avery a monster, yeah. Avery, let me ask you this.
41:10
Do you think the Colts were exposed when they lost to the
41:13
Steelers? No, no, I don't I, I, I guess
41:19
what I was not them losing, but more like I was waiting to see
41:23
if they would lose composure, like kind of fall apart a little
41:27
bit, kind of like maybe the giants after losing Scataboo or
41:30
something where it's like, OK, we kind of, you know, we kind of
41:35
lost our. Our vibe, our whole identity,
41:39
yeah. Yeah, just like this was, I
41:41
mean, it was more social media driven, but you could tell that
41:43
team was like they were having a good time.
41:46
I mean, they weren't winning all their games, but it it looked
41:48
promising. And then that happened.
41:49
It was like, OK, now you're lost.
41:51
Your head coach, you had to put Wilson in.
41:54
It's like, I don't know what we were excited for.
41:56
We, we, this is still New York, but I haven't seen that from the
42:00
Colts yet. In fact, if anything, like I, I
42:02
usually the way I can try to look past any bias I have is
42:06
what I want my team playing them.
42:08
And the answer is no, I would not.
42:09
So I still feel like they're going to continue to go like to,
42:14
to win, but like something's off.
42:17
And then the Bronx, 'cause I think of a very difficult path.
42:20
I think they could do it, to be honest, be totally honest, you
42:23
guys. I was amazed when I saw they
42:25
were eight and two. I forgot that they like they
42:28
were like 2. They were one and two to start
42:30
the season and I just I didn't realize that they hadn't lost
42:34
since. And a lot of those games were
42:36
close. One in particular against the
42:39
Giants, they had no business winning, but the Giants right
42:42
now here you take this dub. I know it's mine and I have it
42:46
locked in this vault, but I'm going to go ahead and unlock it
42:50
and I'm going to give you this dub. 33 points in the fourth
42:54
quarter. I didn't even watch it.
42:55
I just saw the box score at the end and I saw they won.
42:58
I'm like, weren't they? You texted us like 20 and I, I
43:01
took a screenshot because ESPN app has lied to me before.
43:05
They've said stuff where it's like 2 point conversion failed.
43:07
I'm like, then how did they get 8 points?
43:10
And then I'm so all the time this stuff happens, I'm like,
43:12
this is an error. Those 33 points get spread out
43:17
into the quarters and you don't put them all in the fourth
43:19
quarter. That's not where it all
43:20
happened. And then I would just respond
43:22
because I think I was like watching something or playing
43:23
something. I sent it to you guys.
43:24
I'm like, what is this? And they're like, yeah, anyway,
43:28
I don't think the Broncos will continue that.
43:31
I think they've got a rough path ahead of them.
43:34
If they do, they've earned that number one spot.
43:37
I think the Patriots are a little bit of AI.
43:39
Don't want to say paper Tiger. I feel like that's a little
43:42
disrespectful, but I feel like anyone good shot at them could
43:48
like, take them out. They don't feel like solid, like
43:52
the the Colts look solid. They don't.
43:54
But I guess with the Patriots, I'm just maybe I'm just not
43:57
sold. Maybe it's because their record
43:59
was reversed last year. But the Colts, I don't have a
44:02
good record either. That's true.
44:05
That is true. But yeah, I think the Patriots
44:07
have the best shot at getting it purely because of their
44:10
schedule. What do you think Will?
44:12
The As I mentioned, the Broncos are fragilent and they should be
44:16
reported as such. They stopped to put the Chiefs
44:19
twice, the Packers once and the Chargers once.
44:22
There's and already lost the Chargers once this year.
44:26
Now that is Chargers in Denver final game of the season.
44:31
It's going to be a snowball. Probably going to walk away with
44:34
that win. But you played the Chiefs twice
44:37
starting this week. I just don't see the Broncos
44:41
holding on to to to this record. Yes, Sir, the Raiders and
44:47
Jaguars in there and the and the commanders.
44:49
So they have some winnable games 8910111212 and five probably for
44:56
that right like that's that makes sense for me Patriots, you
44:59
play The Jets, the bank was the giants.
45:02
So you're going to get probably 10 wins in a row and you may
45:06
drop two one of the bills, one of the Ravens and you're going
45:09
to win jets and dolphins to finish the season out right.
45:12
So there's there's well I can mad 4 losses to get 17, so 13
45:21
and four. And then the Colts, they play
45:24
the Chiefs, Texans, Jaguars, Seahawks, Niners, Jaguars again,
45:29
Texans again. So 4 divisional games to finish
45:33
the season and your three are that aren't your Chiefs,
45:38
Seahawks and Niners. All three have winning records.
45:42
Division of games are incredibly hard.
45:44
Colts have the hardest path to do it.
45:46
The the Patriots have the easiest path to do it.
45:49
Chances are we are back in an era where the AFC goes through
45:54
Foxborough again. And that is, I know, I know.
45:59
Just saying that just it's been a rough two years, guys.
46:03
Been a real rough two years. The New England folks up there,
46:06
they're only winning in basketball and hockey.
46:09
They're not winning in football and baseball.
46:12
I guess they won the World Series and recently, yeah,
46:15
Boston's back. And that's unfortunate for the
46:17
world. I taste in the Patriots if it's
46:19
the easiest route to do it. I also think, and you even
46:22
heard, maybe you didn't hear it, Stephane Daisy would've said
46:25
somehow Rabel even got me to buy it, right?
46:28
Like Stephane Diggs was a spurned man.
46:31
He was just, I'm out here getting mine and Cardi B is, is
46:35
that mine right on the boat. Along along with a few other
46:39
women that he got pregnant recently.
46:41
But yeah. On the maze with those pills,
46:44
you know? Right, I so it's a whole it's a
46:48
whole thing. Ray was got the boys turned
46:50
around up there. Drake made looks like an
46:52
absolute dog in a good way and I just the Patriots are like a
46:57
complete team right now. And this is what happens when
47:00
you draft offensive lineman early.
47:02
Well at least with a team around him because you look at The Jets
47:05
drafted Armand Membu early and that doesn't mean anything to
47:09
The Jets. But one offensive lineman does
47:12
not make a whole team. So.
47:14
So it's going to be the Patriots, unfortunately.
47:17
I'd love, I'd love to see the coach do it, but it's just not.
47:20
It's just not the cards. So I actually I agree with most
47:23
of what you guys said, but I disagree with which.
47:28
I OK don't care. I know you don't.
47:35
I'm just going to go for it. I don't.
47:36
Care if you broke your arm? I 100% agree that it's not the
47:40
Broncos. The Broncos are out.
47:42
We've already, you guys have already talked about it.
47:44
Their schedule is the toughest of all the three teams.
47:46
Their wins, just some of them. They beat the Raiders by three,
47:50
they beat the Texans by three, the Giants by one, The Jets by
47:52
two. It's like those are bottom tier
47:54
teams that you're just barely, barely beating.
47:57
Their defense is good enough to get them the one seat, but their
48:00
offense is not. So that's why I'm eliminating
48:03
the Broncos. It's between the Colts and the
48:05
Patriots. I just don't agree that it's the
48:07
Patriots. I think it's the Colts.
48:09
And the biggest reason why, even though their their schedule is
48:12
harder than the Patriots schedule, the reason why is
48:15
because they so they own the tiebreaker over the Broncos
48:19
right now because they beat the Broncos head to head and they're
48:23
over the Patriots because they're in conference record is
48:26
better than the Patriots in conference record right now.
48:29
And it's only by one game, but they still have one less loss in
48:32
the conference than the Patriots do.
48:34
And that's a big, big advantage for the Colts moving forward
48:37
because they can afford to lose a game.
48:40
They can afford to lose a game in the conference and the
48:42
Patriots cannot. If the Patriots lose the game in
48:45
conference, they're probably giving up the one seed.
48:48
And if they're just lose 1 game in conference, they're probably
48:50
giving it up. So the Colts have that
48:52
advantage, which is why I'm picking them.
48:55
Patriots have the Bills at home, but they go to the Ravens.
48:59
So those are two rough games coming down the stretch here.
49:02
So they might they might lose both of those in a row.
49:05
It's very possible, and who knows?
49:07
They play the Dolphins. Who knows what the Dolphins are
49:09
going to do? They just beat the crap out of
49:11
the Bills. Well, the Dolphins don't even
49:13
know what they're going to do. Yeah, where the?
49:15
Bills don't even know what happened.
49:17
Both teams are scratching their heads right now.
49:20
Two of the Colts toughest games are Seahawks and Niners coming
49:24
up and those are both NFC opponents so it doesn't matter
49:27
for the conference. Yeah, I do agree that the
49:29
Patriots have the easiest schedule, but I just think that
49:32
that advantage of being up a game in in conference games for
49:35
the Colts is just going to get them just just barely put them
49:39
over the edge and get them the one seed I like.
49:42
Them I can't agree with that take.
49:44
I regret my Boo. I don't regret I.
49:48
Don't. It's OK.
49:49
I, Yeah, you know how many, you know how many, how many people
49:54
say stuff to me on social media? It's like the stuff that they
49:57
say now, it doesn't even faze me.
49:59
So I just know that they're going to just hate.
50:01
I could say Patrick Mahomes has won three Super Bowls and they'd
50:03
be like, you're an idiot. He hasn't won three Super Bowls.
50:06
So you're saying you hate all the other quarterbacks, Is that
50:08
what you're saying? Yeah, that's not what we're
50:14
saying. He was saying he also.
50:15
Did the Tom Brady, Tom Brady and Tom Brady, you're going to have
50:20
to like lower the gain on that was probably really loud.
50:25
All right, well, that's all we got time for on today's episode,
50:27
guys. Again, I may or may not be here
50:29
next week because my wife is having foot surgery.
50:32
I don't know how long she's going to be out for.
50:34
It just depends on how much stuff they have to do to her
50:37
foot. She could be out anywhere from
50:39
two to six weeks non weight bearing.
50:41
So it's going to be kind of challenging.
50:43
I don't think I'm going to miss that much time regardless, but I
50:46
may miss next week just 'cause I got to figure some stuff out and
50:49
see what the situation is. But if I if I'm not here, these
50:54
guys, I'm sure these guys will put on a great show.
50:55
I'm going to try to be here if I can.
50:57
I'm really going to try. But Will's not going to host, by
51:01
the way. It's it's going to be Avery, so.
51:03
It'll be Avery. For if Joel's not here, it's
51:05
going to be a party. I just want to let you guys know
51:07
if you guys want to party, you guys here, that's what it will
51:10
be. Will it sprinkle sports in
51:13
somehow? I'm just going to get on to edit
51:15
it and just be like what? What is?
51:19
That's what you still got to watch it.
51:24
Hey I. Can't use.
51:25
I can't use any of this full hour of of stuff.
51:31
Real quick, before we close out here, we are recording on
51:34
veteran's day. It won't come out on veteran's
51:37
day obviously, but we are recording on veteran's day.
51:39
So just a huge shout out from the three of us to one of those
51:41
in the US Armed Forces who have served and who have put their
51:45
life on the line. So we get to sit here and they
51:47
fart in Wiener jokes because it it, it is under appreciated and
51:51
undervalued. But it truly does mean the world
51:53
to us and not a single person says it enough.
51:55
So thank you all you guys who have done their part and and
52:00
sacrificed all so we get to have a nice comfortable life and it
52:03
is truly truly appreciated. Thank you so much.
52:07
And that should mean the most coming from me because I am not
52:09
even American and I appreciate you guys so.
52:13
He's an illegal. He's not.
52:16
He's here legally, I guess. Yeah, whatever it says the
52:20
government. All right, well, that's all we
52:23
got time for on this episode, guys.
52:25
Thank you for listening. We appreciate you.
52:26
Please go follow us on our social media channels.
52:29
And as always, guys, don't forget to keep your balls played
52:31
with. We'll see you next time.
52:33
Bang out y'all. Also, Mark Davis's haircut still
52:35
sucks.
