- 0:11Speaker 2: It's Labor Day.
- 0:12Speaker 1: The Daily Play with Joy Taylor is still grinding, making
- 0:14Speaker 1: some content for you to enjoy. So hopefully you are
- 0:16Speaker 1: enjoying your Labor Day.
- 0:18Speaker 2: And the NFL is literally two days away. Two days,
- 0:21Speaker 2: I suppose. So I'm going to give you one of
- 0:24Speaker 2: my last previews of the year. After Wednesday, there's going
- 0:28Speaker 2: to be football. So no more previews. Can't wait. Shout
- 0:32Speaker 2: out to Scott.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the biggest games coming up
- 0:35Speaker 1: in week one.
- 0:37Speaker 2: And let's start with the Super.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Bowl rematch between the reigning champions Seahawks and the Patriots.
- 0:45Speaker 1: New England is trying to avoid a Super Bowl hangover.
- 0:48Speaker 1: And this game is big for the Patriots than it is.
- 0:50Speaker 2: For the Seahawks. They are nine.
- 0:52Speaker 1: They're off a nine point six one two billion dollar sale.
- 0:56Speaker 1: It's just completed and they have the confidence of being successful.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Super Bowl champs.
- 1:00Speaker 1: They have some new players to integrate and they are
- 1:03Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champions. The Patriots, however, need to win
- 1:06Speaker 1: in a variety of ways. They have A.J.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Brown.
- 1:10Speaker 1: They're coming off of obviously a Super Bowl loss, a
- 1:13Speaker 1: tricky offseason, and Drake May has got to have a
- 1:18Speaker 1: great start. So I think that the Patriots need this
- 1:21Speaker 1: a bit more than the Seahawks.
- 1:23Speaker 2: And I think it'll be a bigger story.
- 1:25Speaker 1: On Thursday, there's a one-of-a-kind NFC West matchup in Australia.
- 1:29Speaker 1: First ever game in Australia.
- 1:30Speaker 2: It's in Melbourne.
- 1:31Speaker 1: And the Niners and Rams are going to face off. However,
- 1:35Speaker 1: they are taking completely different approaches to this.
- 1:38Speaker 2: The Niners will have been there for seven days.
- 1:41Speaker 1: They were leaving with nine days because you lose some
- 1:44Speaker 1: time in that 15-hour flight. And the Rams are just
- 1:46Speaker 1: getting in and getting right to it. They're getting in
- 1:49Speaker 1: 16 hours before The Rams are your Super Bowl favorites.
- 1:53Speaker 1: They've added Myles Garrett. Aaron Donald is back. And whether
- 1:57Speaker 1: or not he plays... This is going to be an extremely,
- 2:01Speaker 1: extremely interesting matchup. These rivals in the NFC West are
- 2:04Speaker 1: always great games, but this particular matchup is very interesting,
- 2:09Speaker 1: not only obviously because it is rivalry matchup, because it
- 2:13Speaker 1: is in division, but being that it is.
- 2:15Speaker 2: In Melbourne and they are taking complete opposite approaches to it,
- 2:18Speaker 2: what will end up happening with this jet lag situation?
- 2:21Speaker 1: I've been to Australia for the first time this year,
- 2:24Speaker 1: earlier this year in February.
- 2:25Speaker 2: It is a brutal flight. And I wasn't playing in
- 2:28Speaker 2: an NFL game.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So that time zone shift is rough. You're going to
- 2:33Speaker 1: the future. It gets freaky down there. Your body is
- 2:36Speaker 1: recovering from a very, very, very long flight. And I'm
- 2:40Speaker 1: excited to see it. It will be live on Thursday
- 2:43Speaker 1: here in the United States on Netflix. And yeah, it's
- 2:48Speaker 1: going to be an important game for that division.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I do expect.
- 2:54Speaker 1: this, you know, bromance to be very high level and physical. And,
- 2:59Speaker 1: you know, I don't think either team is season is
- 3:02Speaker 1: over with a lot with a loss, but as we know,
- 3:04Speaker 1: it always comes down to the wire with these two
- 3:06Speaker 1: teams and this division at the Seahawks.
- 3:08Speaker 2: And as well, it's a very tough division. So this
- 3:10Speaker 2: is a very, very big game to start the season. Very,
- 3:13Speaker 2: very far away. There's a couple of games on Sunday.
- 3:16Speaker 1: I'm going to be locked in on bucks at bangles
- 3:18Speaker 1: is an early kickoff from Cincinnati.
- 3:21Speaker 2: The bangles have to start strong. Like, Period.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Enough. They've got to get back competitive. Borough has to
- 3:29Speaker 1: stay healthy. This is a very, very, very important year
- 3:31Speaker 1: for the Bengals. Baker has bet on himself. He's playing
- 3:36Speaker 1: without a deal, a long-term deal, entering a season healthy
- 3:40Speaker 1: and without major distraction for the Bengals.
- 3:43Speaker 2: They've got a lot of different....
- 3:47Speaker 1: Additions to the defense and Ruben Bain on the other
- 3:51Speaker 1: side for the Bucs.
- 3:53Speaker 2: After starting on my brother Jason Taylor's defensive line in Miami.
- 3:56Speaker 2: So we're going to get to watch him. There's just
- 3:57Speaker 2: a lot to pay attention to in this game. And
- 3:59Speaker 2: I think the Bengals need this very, very badly.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Or we're going to start talking about how they can
- 4:04Speaker 1: never win a game early in the season.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Also is Bills of Texans. Huge game. C.J.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Stroud also playing without a long-term extension, which I think
- 4:11Speaker 1: is a huge mistake by the Texans. Many people are
- 4:14Speaker 1: thinking they are the dark horse in the AFC. The
- 4:16Speaker 1: Bills aren't sneaking up on anybody. They have the second
- 4:18Speaker 1: best odds to win the Super Bowl. New dad, Josh Allen,
- 4:23Speaker 1: always has the pressure on him.
- 4:24Speaker 2: They have a new coach, though. Sean McDermott, out.
- 4:26Speaker 1: After nine seasons in Buffalo, replaced by 36-year-old Joe Brady,
- 4:31Speaker 1: who has had a lot of attention on him for
- 4:32Speaker 1: a long time. So we will see how that looks different.
- 4:35Speaker 1: They have to incorporate DJ Moore into the offense, and
- 4:38Speaker 1: that is a game that is going to have a
- 4:39Speaker 1: lot of eyeballs on it.
- 4:41Speaker 2: So happy Labor Day. I hope you're enjoying it.
- 4:44Speaker 1: I can't wait for the NFL season to be here.
- 4:46Speaker 2: It's so, so close.
